[first lines; Bob and Junior are on the countertops]
Hi, kids, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato.
And I'm Junior Asparagus.
And we're here to answer your questions.
Yep, that's right.
I bet you're wondering where Larry is. [Junior looks with his smile at the camera] He was a little tired after the last show, so we decided to let him sleep in today. But don't worry, he'll be here pretty soon. In the meantime, Junior Asparagus has very graciously agreed to help out.
Hi!
Now, Junior.
Yes, Bob?
Today we got a letter from Victor Bartholomew from Sausalito, California.
Oh. Hi, Victor!
Victor has a problem. He says there's a kid named Louis in his class who hit him yesterday.
Oh, my!
"Oh, my" is right! Now in church, Victor just learned that God wants us to be nice to people; even when they're not nice to us. But Victor doesn't really feel like doing that. Deep down inside, he wants to hit Louis back. What should he do? Should he do it his way or should he do it God's way?
Oh, wow. I know how you feel, Victor. Sometimes the stuff I learn in church doesn't sound like very much fun, sometimes I feel like doing things my own way, too. [turns to Bob] Do you suppose we have a story about that?
Oh, do we? Have I ever told you about the Israelites?
Hmm, the Israelites... Oh yeah, I remember those guys! Weren't they supposed to be God's chosen people?
That's what the Bible says.
Oh, I bet they always followed God's directions.
Oh, ho, ho. You'd think so, wouldn't you? But sometimes God's directions didn't seem to make sense to them. You see...well... maybe I should just show you.
Huh?
Close your eyes, Junior, and don't open them until I say so. [closes his eyes]
[closes his eyes as well] All right!
