[first lines; Bob and Larry are on the countertops]
Hi, kids, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato.
And I'm Larry the Cucumber.
And we're here to answer your questions.
Yep.
Now this week we got a letter from Pete McGuinness in New Castle, Indiana.
Hey, Pete.
Pete writes: "Dear Bob and Larry, I'm depressed. All my friends are in Mrs. Peterson's class, but I got stuck in Mr. Schubert's class. If God loves me, why do bad things happen? Your friend, Pete." Wow, that's a tricky one!
Sure is.
Well, Pete, I know a Bible story that I think could help you a lot.
Uh, Bob?
Yeah?
I thought we were gonna do a Western this time.
A what?
A Western! You know, with cowboys and tumbleweeds and little dogies... you promised me we could right before I went to cowboy camp!
[chuckles nervously] I think what Pete needs here is a Bible story. Larry...
You promised, Bob.
"Promise?" Did I really say... "promise?"
[annoyed] Yes, you did, Bob.
I really think we need to do a Bible story.
A Western, Bob!
A Bible story!
[angrily] A WESTERN, BOB!
[gasps, then realizes the kids are still watching them] Can we have a second?
[A "technical difficulties" screen comes down as we hear Bob and Larry arguing about whether to do a Western or a Bible story. After several seconds, the screen comes back up.]
[clears throat] Well, after a bit of discussion, Larry and I have decided that what you really need, Pete, is a Western...Bible story.
That's right.
So, without further ado...
"The Ballad of Little Joe!"
