[Rack, Shack & Benny are the only ones in the factory not lying ill from eating too much chocolate]
Everybody else is lying down, but you three are standing up.
Actually, boss, I think the tomato is sitting.
RRack (Bob the Tomato)
I'm standing.
Look, [squats] this is sitting... [stretches up] and this is standing. I'm standing.
What're your names, boys?
Shack (Junior Asparagus] I'm Meshach.
BBenny (Larry the Cucumber)
I'm Abumblebee... Abennyboo... I'm Benny.
[Having finished demonstrating "The Bunny Song", Mr. Nezzer looks to the boys for feedback]
Um... what would happen, let's say, if someone didn't quite agree with everything in that song, so they, um... didn't sing it? What would happen?
SShack
That's the furnace.
Well, that's where the bad bunnies go.
And let's just say, in my mind, if you don't bow down and sing the song, you're a BAD bunny.
[unnerved] You don't mean...?
But I'm sure that won't happen. It's almost time for the ceremony. I'll see you out there.
[Everyone, except Rack, Shack and Benny, bows down as the intro music to "The Bunny Song" plays]
[notices that Rack, Shack and Benny aren't bowing] Hey, boss? Those three guys, they don't look like they're bowing.
[confused] Hmm... aren't those our new Junior Executives?
I think so. Maybe they're stuck.
Let's find out. [moves the podium over to Rack, Shack and Benny] I said, it's time to sing "The Bunny Song."
[The factory's delivery girl, Laura Carrot, notices the situation]
Come on, guys, sing the song! Everybody's doing it.
[with increasing frustration] Sing the song!
They ain't singing, boss.
[finally on the brink of losing his temper] SING!
[Shack begins singing "Think Of Me"]
Is that "The Bunny Song?"
[skeptical] No, I don't think so.
[worried] Are you crazy? That's the wrong song!
[Shack keeps singing. Rack and Benny join in on the last verse]
[touched] Oh, that was wonderful. I'm gonna be singing that song myself... [suddenly angry] as I throw you into the furnace! GUARDS! [Rack, Shack and Benny are shocked] Seize them! Take them to the furnace.
[A band of carrot guards approach Rack, Shack and Benny]
I've gotta help them. But how?
[Laura sees her flying delivery truck and approaches it as the scene fades out]
[off-camera] Rack, Shack and Benny will be right back, after this short break.
[Rack, Shack and Benny are nearly dumped in the furnace, but Laura saves them, and puts them in her flying delivery truck]
Sorry, sir! Can't let you cook my buddies!
[Two carrot guards jump into their own flying vehicles]
[after Laura unplugs the robotic arms]
I said, NOBODY bakes my buddies!
[as a pin holding the door shut starts to bend under their weight] Listen here, young lady, if you don't plug that back in, you're gonna be in BIIIIIIG trouble!
[The pin breaks and the three veggies fall out. Laura gasps as the flames rage.]
[laughs evilly] Nobody's ever gonna stand up to me again! [lights turns off] Hmm?
[Mr. Nezzer turns to see a heavenly glow coming out of the furnace. He and Laura watch in surprise. Mr. Lunt peeks through a window.]
Hey boss, how many guys did we throw in the furnace?
Well, it looks like four guys in there now and one of them's REAL SHINY! One more thing, boss. They ain't burnin' up.
Rack! Shack! Benny, come out of there!
[The door opens as Rack, Shack and Benny step out, completely unharmed, thanks to God. As the heavenly light dies down, the lights in the factory turn back on.]
God has saved you from the fiery furnace. Oh I was wrong to try and make you do things you weren't supposed to do. What was I thinking? I must have forgot everything my mommy taught me. Can you ever forgive me?
RSRack, Shack and Benny
We forgive you.
Oh, thanks. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?
SShack
Well, you could sing one of our songs.
SShack
You know. I was hoping you'd ask.
[After Larry as Larry-Boy gets stuck on the side of cardboard building and can't get down. The lights turns on, and Bob enters the countertop.]
Um. Hi, kids! I'm Bob the Tomato, and I think that's Larry the Cucumber.
I'm Larry-Boy! Who are you?
Bob? Bob? I don't know Bob! Say there, citizen! Could you give me a hand with my Super-Suction Ear? It seems to have malfunctioned.
Well, it's just that I'm afraid that it's about to let... [his suction ear comes loose and he falls down] ...go. Ouch.
Wow, I didn't know being a superhero could be so painful. Maybe you should just go back to being plain-old Larry.
[becomes sad] But I don't want to be plain-old Larry anymore.
Well, there's nothing special about plain-old Larry. He can't do anything neat like fly or save people or anything. He's just plain-old boring.
Oh. Not feeling very special, huh?
Hmm. [thinks for a second] Hey, I know.
I could-- [accidentally gets his nose stuck in Larry-Boy's Super-Suction Ear] Ow, my--
You got my- Eeh! Eeeeeh! Eeeeeh!
Bob? Pull... Pull back! Pull back, Bob!
[pants] Um, well, what I was going to say, is that we-
[Larry suddenly sneezes, pulling his Super-Suction Ear right off of Bob's nose.]
Hey, look! [on his right suction ear, spinning slowly] I'm a Larry-Go-Round!
[A sheep falls over by Jimmy]
Oh, Dave! One of my sheep fell over! Will you come pick it up for me?
DDave (Junior Asparagus)
[struggling to pick up another sheep] I'm kinda busy right now.
[miffed] Do you remember the time we dipped you in tar and stuck you to the backside of an angry water buffalo?
DDave
I'll be right there!
[Another sheep falls over by Tom]
Hey, Dave! One of my sheep fell, too!
[Jerry knocks over a row of sheep]
[smugly] Oh, look! All of my sheep fell over. Dave!
Oh, Dave! After you pick up our sheep, could you run and get me a bite to eat? I'm famished!
Oh, yeah! Me, too! Get me something, too!
You know, sometimes I think I could eat a whole camel!
Oh, yeah? Well, sometimes I think I could eat a whole spaceship!
[confused] Uh, what's a spaceship?
[Pa Grape as Jesse runs out to the field, until he bumps into some of the other sheep.]
JJesse (Pa Grape)
Uh, Dave? Can you pick those up? [to Jimmy, Jerry and Tom] Oh! Oh boys! Ooo! Oh, boys! I've got-I've got horrible news! The Phili... The Ph... The-the... The Philistines are, uh... Ah uh... Ah, the... They're a... ttacking!
[Jimmy, Jerry and Tom is confused at what Jesse says.]
The lima beans are uh... lacking?
The nectarines are... quacking?
One more time, please, and let's work on our enunciation.
JJesse
THE PHILISTINES ARE ATTACKING!
[Jimmy, Jerry, Tom and Jesse start screaming in terror about it.]
[Countertop scene #2; Larry is chilling on the pillow in his Larry-Boy costume, while Bob is telling the story.]
Uh, Bob? What are the Philippines?
The Philippines are a group of islands off the coast of Southeast Asia, but that's not important now. The Philistines were people who hated Israel. They wanted to take Israel's land and make the Israelites their slaves. So they'd had to do whatever the Philistines told them to do.
You're right. So the Israelites needed to protect themselves.
[The Philistines, portrayed by the French Peas, are taunting the Israelites from across the battlefield]
Hello, Israelites! You are pigs, and soon we will put apples in your mouths and stick you in our toaster ovens! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
CChristophe
Ah, yes, after we defeat you, you will be our slaves and you will have to fetch us our slippers.
Yes, and iron our trousers!
CChristophe
Ho-ho, and wipe our little noses.
Ha-ha, and scratch that spot on our backs that we cannot reach no matter how hard we try. Ha! [no response from the Israelites] Don't you have anything to say?
Um... Do you guys have any fried chicken? I've got a real hankering for fried chicken.
[to Christophe] This is going to be easier than we thought.
GGoliath
Who will fight me?!
DDave
I will fight you, Goliath!
[to Tom and Jerry] You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say that sounded like Dave!
[laughs] Well, yeah! [spots Dave running out onto the battlefield] You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say that looks like Dave!
DSDave's Brothers
[shocked] Huh?! [Dave smiles at his brothers] DAVE?! [Jimmy faints]
[narrating] Goliath was equally surprised.
DDave
[clears throat] I did!
GGoliath
Huh? [sees Dave] Oh ho ho! Am I a dog that you come at me with sticks?
[Philistines laugh]
DDave
I don't exactly know what you mean, but you are not a dog! You're just a really big guy who wants to beat me up! And I come at you not with sticks, but in the name of the God of Israel, who this day will help me defeat you!
GGoliath
We will see who defeats who! Now we fight!
[The Veggie kids watch intently as a TV commercial plays]
WPWally P. Nezzer
[dressed as Santa Claus] Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! Hey kids, do you have the "don't know what I want for Christmas" blues? If I know my toys, and you know I do, than I know just what you're looking for. You want a toy that's fun. You want a toy that's cute. Most importantly, you want a toy with a fully-functioning buzzsaw in his right hand. That's right, you want Buzz-Saw Louie!
[camera shows the toy and demonstrates the buzzsaw]
Cool, huh? But wait, there's more! Buzz-Saw Louie also knows the true meaning of Christmas. All you have to do is push his nose and... [presses the Louie's nose]
BLBuzzsaw Louie
Christmas is when you get stuff! You need more toys!
Getting your own doll is easy. Just have your parents place an order, and one of our trained penguins will deliver it right to your door.
AAnnouncer
Delivery not available to Pugslyville due to the collapse of the Pugslyville Bridge.
So take it from me, Mr. Nezzer... I mean, Santa Claus and his little elf helper.
[wearing pointed ears and hat] Look at me, I'm an elf!
You just won't be happy until you have Buzz-Saw Louie, the only toy with a working buzzsaw and the true meaning of Christmas.
BLBuzzsaw Louie
Billy has more toys than you.
[The commercial ends, and the Veggie kids run home to beg their parents for more toys]
[crying] Mom! Mom! We need more toys!
Billy has more toys than me!
I dunno, but he has more toys than me!
[whines loudly] I want a Buzz-Saw Louie!
LLenny
I want ten Buzz-Saw Louies!
LLLaura and Lenny
Cuz that's the true meaning of Christmas! [crying]
[Bob is lying upside down in a snow pile after crashing in Junior's sled]
I wanted to play Mouse Trap! You roll your dice, you move your mice. Nobody gets hurt.
[Mr. Nezzer is about to send Bob, Larry, Junior, and Louie over the broken Puggslyville bridge]
One more thing. If those parents really care about the true meaning of Christmas, where are they now?
Huh? [turns to see the Veggie parents and their kids glaring back]
We care much about the true meaning of Christmas, Mr. Nezzer!
DCDad Carrot
That's what we came here... to give you what you deserve!
Wha-wha-oh! You didn't really think I was going to... heh... oh, that was just... just a joke! I wouldn't... What are you going to do?
[Laura confronts to Mr. Nezzer, now with a happy face, handing him a present.]
Mr. Nezzer... Merry Christmas!
Huh? Is that for me? Oh, it's a little bear! Oh, I always wanted a Christmas present, but we were too poor! You don't know how happy this makes me! Look! Isn't it cute!
