Bob: okay, larry,

It's time for the theme song.

Larry: uh... Yeah, bob.

What do I do?

Hmm, let's see.

I know! You play the guitar.

Bob, I don't have any hands.

Oh, you're right.

Well, okay. You play this.

I don't want to play that.

I'll look silly!

Oh, come on.

It'll be fun!

No. Not going to do it.

It's for the kids.

Oh, okay.

But they better not laugh.

All right!

Better get on out there.

Oh, larry?

What are you...

Whooaaa!

Look out for the sink!

Where did you get...

Do you like it?

I saved up 500 box tops

From frosted flaky flippers cereal

And it's finally here!

My new ukulele.

Uh, that's a unicycle, larry.

Uh, but aren't those things

Really hard to ride?

Well, I guess at first,

But I got the hang of it.

No big deal.

I think I'm gifted.

You can't even reach the pedals.

How're you doing that?

I'm telling you, bob, I got a gift.

And you know what I'm going to do with it?

Uh, your gift?

Yeah.

Rich and famous, bob.

Give me a month

And my ukulele and I will be

On the cover of veggiebeat magazine!

It's a unicycle.

And are you sure

That's what your gift is for?

Well, what else would it be for?

You know, that reminds me of a letter

We just got from dylan clark

Of altoona, wisconsin.

Can dylan ride a unicycle?

Well, no.

But dylan can build things

Better than anyone else he knows.

His mom says he has a gift.

Dylan wants to know what exactly a "gift" is,

And what is he supposed to do with it?

Rich and famous, dylan!

Wait a minute, larry.

We have a story today

That can help both of you.

It's about a boy

Who received an extraordinary gift

And had to figure out what it was for.

It's full of elves and dwarves and flobbits.

Oooh!

What's a flobbit?

You'll find out in a minute.

Dylan, get ready

For the lord of the beans.

So when's your uncle going to make his speech?

Here he is now.

Dear flobbits,

Today is my twelfity- twoth birthday!

[ Mixed cheers ]

Ah. 122 Years

Is too short a time

To live among such fine folk.

I'm twice as tall as half of you

And half as short as twice of you.

But... I'm growing tired, you see.

I'm feeling stretched,

Like chocolate pudding scraped across too much ham.

Hmm, ah, billboy, you old rascal.

They never saw that one coming.

[ Chuckling ]

You think you're awfully clever, don't ya?

[ Gasping ]

Randalf!

My old friend.

Why, you haven't changed a bit.

No, but you have.

You must be twice as tall

Heh, heh.

And your clothes.

Very fine for a flobbit.

Oh... Uh,

And this house!

I don't remember that there.

Uh... What?

Uh, randalf?

Or that.

Or that.

W-well, business has been good.

And what's this? An espresso maker?

Oh, you really must try it.

I tell you, it makes tea taste like bath water.

I wasn't sure I'd like it at first.

It has quite a...

Ooh... Kick.

Billboy baggypants,

There are many powerful beans in the world.

None of them should be used lightly.

Oh...

Being friends with you

Can be such a bother.

All right, here it is.

I found it on my adventures.

It's given me everything I've asked for.

Everything I could think of, anyway.

But something's missing.

I can't put words to it,

But I intend to find it, whatever it is.

That's why I'm leaving.

I'm leaving tonight

And I don't believe I'll be coming back.

And your home?

To toto, my nephew.

I'm giving everything to him.

What about the bean?

Yes, the bean too.

What I'm looking for,

I don't think it can give me.

You'll see to it that he gets it, won't you?

Yes. Of course.

W-well, I must be off.

Farewell, randalf.

Hmm? Oh, yes.

Farewell, billboy.

Until we meet again.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

[ Opening of door ]

Uncle billboy, I saved you some cake.

I got one with a big flower.

Randalf?

Your uncle isn't here, toto.

He had to leave.

Said he was looking for something.

He talked about leaving.

I guess I knew someday he really would.

He's giving you everything.

His home, all his things...

This bean...

Why would I want a bean?

Special. Powerful.

The first bean could grow any kind of food

Or drink you could imagine.

The second could change your looks:

Your height, your hair.

The third produced the finest clothing,

And the fourth, small kitchen appliances.

Small kitchen appliances?

Small kitchen appliances!

Toasters, blenders,

Fry daddy deep fryers,

You name it!

Whoa.

Is this one of those beans?

No.

No? Oh.

Where'd those beans go?

Randalf: unfortunately, the poor fools who received them

Had no idea what they'd been given

And cooked them up in a stew.

Not bad.

One bean.

The most powerful bean in the world.

Is this it?

Put it in the fire, toto.

Huh?

Put it in the fire!

The one true bean carries an inscription

Revealed by fire alone.

Now take it out and look closely.

I don't see anything.

No, wait.

What does it say?

It says, "if you can read this

You're too close."

"Use wisely".

♪ This is that bean ♪

It's an amazing gift, toto,

And it's yours.

The bean is yours!

I'm not so sure I want it.

Billboy's given me plenty of stuff.

You take the bean, randalf.

The bean is your gift, toto.

Every gift is given for a reason.

We can't choose which ones we get,

Only what we do with them.

Well, what am I supposed to do with it?

I don't know beans.

What if I use it wrong

And mess everything up?

Randalf, you're wise.

Tell me what to do with it.

Well, i, uh...

To be honest, I don't know.

I paid better attention in fireworks class

Than in bean class.

It was a good show, though, wasn't it?

I think I know someone

Who can help, though.

The elders of the razzberry forest.

Their knowledge of mysterious plants and beans

Goes back ages.

The raspberry forest?

That's on the other side of...

The mountains of much-snowia.

The journey will be difficult,

But the wisdom you seek

Cannot be gained without work.

There are other dangers.

Your gift is not unknown.

The dark lord scaryman would give anything

To have it for his own.

S-scaryman?

That bean could feed and clothe his armies

As they ravage center-earth.

Right now, his minions search for it.

M-minions?

Yes,

Foul creatures that fear nothing.

Toto: w-what kind of v-vegetable are they?

Randalf: oh, they aren't vegetable at all.

Unnatural creatures forged by scaryman himself!

Half spoon, half fork.

Toto: you mean...

Randalf: sporks.

They are his utensils and they do his bidding.

Toto: sporks?

No one would blame you

If you just put the bean in a box

And forgot about it.

I've been given a gift

And I want to know what it's for.

I need to know what I'm to do with it.

But, I don't think I can make the journey alone.

You won't have to.

I took the liberty

To invite a few friends.

Fearless ranger, ear-a-corn!

Oops.

You have my sword.

Randalf: sharp-sh**ting elf...

Leg-o-lamb.

You have my bow.

Randalf: and gruff but lovable dwarf,

Grumpy.

Oy.

Could we have parked any farther away?

Oh yeah. You have my axe.

Not that it'll do any good.

[ Clearing of throat ]

Hmm?

Leg-o-lamb: oh, that's my brother.

Uh, he didn't have anything

To do this weekend.

He's another elf.

Toto: what does he do?

Uh... He's pretty good in the kitchen.

And... The "other elf".

These fearless men have agreed to accompany you

On your quest to brave much-snowia

And keep you from scaryman's clutches

As you seek the purpose of your gift.

I give you

The fellowship of the bean!

Got any waffles?

[ Clatter ]

[ Chirping of birds ]

Why didn't you go before we left?

Other elf: I didn't have to then.

I'm good now.

I can hike forever.

Much-snowia.

That's a lot of snow.

We covered a lot of ground today.

What say we bunk down here for the night?

It's not even lunchtime.

And?

Grumpy: "it'll be fun," he says.

"Fresh air," he says.

"You'll get out of the mines," he says.

These things can even keep your nose warm!

Uhh!

All: [ screaming ]

Toto: watch out!

All: [ screaming ]

How's your nose feel now?

Still warm!

[ ♪♪♪ ]

I'm starving.

Where're all the raspberries?

Not that kind of raspberry.

"Not that kind of raspberry."

What's that supposed to mean?

Hey, kid, you got any food?

My stomach's growling.

Just day-old biscuits.

Did you eat all yours?

I got them right here.

They don't agree with me.

I was thinking more like a, uh,

A nice chicken burrito.

Sorry.

Fresh out of burritos.

Hey.

You got that bean, right?

Yeah.

It can make anything.

Anything we want!

I guess.

Perfect!

So make me a chicken burrito,

With lotsa guacamole.

I don't think I should.

Why not?

I was given this gift for a reason,

And I don't want to use it

Till I know what that reason is.

Man, if I had a gift like that,

I'd be using that thing to get rich!

After I made a few burritos.

Listen.

We are nearing the elders

Who will know the secret of toto's bean.

With them, your behaviour

Will become critically important.

Try to hold it together.

What do you mean,

"Critically important"?

The elders of the razzberry forest are ancient.

Somewhere around the fourth millennium,

They lost their senses of humour.

You may not laugh in their presence.

You may not even smile,

No matter what happens.

The consequences, if you do,

Will be grave.

So, these "elders"

Must be as old as the trees.

No, they are the trees.

Hail, elders of the razzberry forest!

May your fruit never fall in vain.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Welcome, randalf, son of mandalf,

Keeper of the flame of remorthia olilith.

Thank you for your welcome, lord falaminion-tereglith,

Son of therabil-elithimon.

That is a beautiful jewel you wear.

Yes.

A gift from a friend.

I have an eye for beautiful things.

But tell me, randalf, son of mandalf,

Did you come here to admire my jewelry?

No, lord falaminion- tereglith,

Son of therabil- elithimon.

It is the matter of a bean that brings us here.

A bean that I believe may be the bean.

You mean, randalf,

Son of mandalf,

"The bean of power"?

Yes, lord falaminion- tereglith,

Son of therabil- el-el-lithimon.

It has fallen into the possession

Of a young flobbit

Who seeks your wisdom in knowing

For what purpose it should be used.

[ Blowing of razzberry ]

He should take the bean through the blue gate

To the land of woe,

Randalf, son of mandalf.

There he will find his answer.

[ Blowing razzberry ]

[ Giggling ]

Knock it off.

They're just saying hello.

[ Giggle/snort ]

Uh... But...

But the land of woe i-is a cursed place,

Filled with evil.

[ Giggling ]

What would he do when he gets there?

It will be obvious.

[ Blowing of razzberries/giggling ]

Uh, I believe we must be going.

Thank you for your sage advice.

Get out, get out, get out.

[ Loud razzberry ]

[ Laughing ]

Oh.

that kind of razzberry.

I said, "no matter what happens,

Don't laugh or smile."

Didn't I say that?

Well, you didn't mention

They were going to talk like that.

So, how long will they keep us here?

The last fellow I knew

Who made fun of their language

Was up here for 12 years.

Leg-o-lamb: then they let him go?

Randalf: no, he was blown off in a windstorm.

Never seen again.

The eagle's coming!

Everyone, stand on the edge of the platform next to me.

And now, when I give the signal,

We're all going to jump together.

Trust me. This'll work.

Okay, ready?

Jump!

All: [ screaming ]

[ Crash ]

[ Shouts of pain ]

[ Groaning ]

What was that?

"Oh, there's a bird.

Let's jump on him.

Maybe he'll fly us wherever we want to go.

Maybe he'll serve us drinks

And little bags of peanuts!"

Get your own ride!

I thought that would work.

At least we didn't wake the trees.

Randalf, son of mandalf,

You have left your detention.

[ Stammering ]

Why yes, lord falamin...

Run... Ion tereglith,

Son of therabil...

Run... El-l-l-lithim...

[ Mixed yelling ]

[ ♪♪♪ ]

[ Chirping of birds ]

[ Panting ]

Oy!

That went well.

Hey, at least we're out of that tree.

Wh...

Where are we?

The blue gate.

Entrance to the land of woe.

The blue gate.

Why do they call it blue, you ask?

Perhaps for the sorrow

That blankets the land beyond.

Perhaps for the sadness of those

Who toiled on this cursed wall.

Perhaps for the river of tears

That flowed from the...

[ Clearing of throat ]

Or that.

There's no handle.

How we going to get in?

Look for a doorbell.

There's some kind of writing over the gate.

I-i can't read it.

There are few who can.

It is the tongue of woe.

And if I remember my 7th grade

Diabolical languages class,

It reads,

"He who seeks to pass this gate,

A riddle first must solve.

The answer that will seal his fate

Must all his wits involve.

What thing with awesome strength is blessed,

Yet quakes before the smallest pest?

Stands so high yet sniffs the ground

Without so much as stooping down?

Has no home or chair or bunk,

Yet holds his bath inside a trunk?

If your first guess ringeth true,

Passage we will grant to you.

But if in err you guess, my friend,

The door will bar, your journey end."

It said all that?

It's a highly efficient tongue.

You can fit a whole book on a napkin.

So it's a riddle, eh?

Awesome strength...

Yet quakes before the smallest pest.

Tall, yet sniffs the ground.

A cow.

An ostrich.

With a suitcase.

Bacon!

It's a long shot.

We have one chance to get this right.

[ Mixed chatter ]

[ To himself ] an elephant.

An elephant!

It's strong,

But it's afraid of the littlest pest: a mouse.

And even though it's tall,

It can sniff the ground with it's long trunk,

Which also holds water when it takes a bath.

Ha-ha. Elephant, man.

With bacon!

All right, only one way to find out.

Is it an elephant?

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Grumpy: h*-h*-h*!

We're in!

[ Laughing ] it's opening.

[ Cheering ]

Wait a minute,

It's too small!

We ain't going to fit!

No, wait. It's a trick!

It's an optimal illusion.

It only looks small because it's so far away.

Watch.

[ Thump ]

I could be wrong.

Ha. Maybe if you ran faster.

Try it again.

How're we going to get in?

The only one who'd fit through that door is...

You, toto.

You don't need to do that, toto.

No one would blame you if you just went home

And put the bean in a box.

Grumpy: I knew this was a lousy idea

Right from the start.

Leg-o-lamb: oh well.

We tried, ya know.

It isn't like we didn't try.

No. I want to know what my gift is for.

Toto, the lands beyond this door

Are filled with evil.

It won't be easy.

I want to know.

They say a creature lives therein,

Desperate for the bean.

I want to know.

Maybe you could swap it

For another gift.

Y-you know, a gift exchange.

Every gift is given for a reason.

We can't choose which ones we get,

Only what we do with them.

That's one brave flobbit.

I got dibs on his espresso maker.

[ Rumbling ]

[ Creaking of doors ]

Well, that's that.

So we can go home now, right?

We failed.

The fellowship failed.

We were supposed to help toto

And now he's in there,

On his own.

We may yet have another chance to help him.

So, what's your name?

I am named for the sound I make with my throat.

Ahem.

"Ahem"?

Yes? What do you want?

Your name is ahem?

My name is ahem.

So, have you always been...

Like this?

Oh no.

I was once a normal flobbit.

You were a flobbit?

That's right.

A perfectly normal flobbit

Named "spiegel".

"Spiegel"?

You were that flobbit?

That flobbit who bought everything mail order?

That was me. It's amazing

What you can buy through the mail.

I was a collector of labour-saving devices.

But everything that I bought,

I had to pay for.

This was a limiter to my "life of ease".

Then I found it.

Found what?

Ahem: I was opening a new crock-pot

When I found it

Hidden among the packing peanuts.

It was small like a packing peanut,

But it was no peanut.

It was the bean.

Instantly, my life was changed!

No more working for anything!

Whatever clothes you want,

Bang! You got it.

Any kind of food,

There it is.

You want a fountain of grape nehi

To sh**t right out of the ground?

No problem!

A "life of ease" right in the palm of my hand.

Wow.

So what happened?

Hmm? To me?

One day, before 10:00 a.m., I had created and consumed

A 200-pound marshmallow peep.

Unfortunately, I fell into a sugar coma.

When I awoke three days later,

The bean was gone.

And now look at me!

I'm falling to pieces!

My clothes, all gone.

Even my hair is falling out!

Have you tried washing it?

What? And work?

Once you taste a "life of ease", my friend,

There's no going back.

So now,

Why did you want to come

To the land of woe?

Whoa.

[ Panting ]

Don't bother waiting up for me.

Whew.

The red gate.

It's yellow.

Hmm? Oh,

They say it was named for the colour of the sunset

On the day they hung those doors.

Uh, don't be so literal.

Randalf, the sporks.

There's only five.

We can take them!

No problem. Grumpy?

Yeah, sure.

All right then.

For toto!

And the bean!

All: [ yelling ]

I got to go.

Okay, you've seen it.

Time to go.

I'm supposed to do something here.

Do what? This place is no good!

I don't know.

They said it would be clear.

A well!

A drink would do me good.

Forget about it.

It's been dry for years.

Where do they get their water?

They don't have any.

I'm telling you, this place is no good!

Can you help us, please?

Villagers: [ mixed chatter ]

Oh, this is bad.

This is not good.

While we still draw breath, hope is alive.

We need a plan.

We'll create a distraction.

Does anybody have a banjo

Or an inflatable turkey?

Did I mention it was meatloaf night?

Not that this isn't fun.

[ Snarling ]

Finish them quickly.

We've got a flobbit to catch.

Watch out for their pointy ends!

I gotcha covered.

Have you ever actually fired that thing?

What? Sure.

Plenty of times.

Not a good time for arguing.

[ Sniffing ]

Sumfin smell good.

Who wants a cookie?

Huh?

We ain't had nothing but maggoty bread

For three stinkin' days!

I'd love a cookie.

Sporks: [ mixed shouts ]

Nothing tastes better than a cookie

Baked in a tree.

Help us.

Can you help us?

Please! My daughter is hungry.

I don't think these people are evil,

I think they're thirsty and hungry.

Okay, maybe.

Let's talk some more when we're out of here.

No. That's why they sent me.

They wanted me to help.

I can help them!

What? Not with the bean, you can't.

It's my life of ease!

It's not for them.

It's my gift.

And the elders want me to use it to help.

They've got their own gifts.

Let them help themselves.

Randalf: toto!

Randalf!

Sporks! Look out!

Randalf: don't worry about them.

Turns out they love cookies.

Randalf, I know why the elders sent me here.

They want me to help.

Good thought, but wrong.

Scaryman!

The elders sent you here because I told them to.

What?

What?

Everyone has something

They're sure they can't live without.

For some it's fame or fortune,

For others, a life of ease.

For a certain ancient tree,

It happens to be jewels.

Something of which I have in abundance.

You bribed them?

Yes.

They got what they want,

And I get what I want.

Ha.

Use your gift to "help people".

How quaint.

I hope you've learned your lesson, boy.

Life is short.

If you have a gift, use it for yourself

Before you've lost it and it's too late.

Ah, too late!

[ Laughing ]

Male voice: you're wrong, scaryman!

What? Who said that?

Male voice: you're wrong, scaryman!

Who? Show yourself.

Where are you?

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Toto: uncle billboy!

Billboy?

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Hello, toto.

Not so fast, scary-guy.

Sporks, save me!

Cookie man say no.

Oh, bother.

Uncle billboy, you're... Short.

Yes, without the bean,

It didn't take long.

And your clothes...

Were for a much taller flobbit.

When you gave me the bean,

You lost everything.

Yes, I did.

But I found so much more.

Clothes and toys and fame,

And they all feel good for a minute

But the happiness they bring

Passes in a flash,

Like straw in a fire.

When I left,

I was looking for a happiness that lasts.

And I found it here, of all places.

How?

By helping.

By using my gifts to help others

Rather than myself.

I hear you've figured out what your gift is for.

I thought I had.

But the elders were lying!

It was a trick!

They may have been lying,

But they couldn't keep you

From finding the truth.

So what would you like to do with your gift?

I want to help people.

Wow! That was amazing!

Elves and dwarves and flobbits

And trees that make funny noises.

I hope we didn't offend anyone.

We're over here by qwerty

To talk about what we learned today.

♪ And so what we... ♪

[ Scratching of record ]

Sporks: [ snarling ]

Uh! Wha... Wha... ?

They took the "what have we learned" song!

Huh. How could they?

But bob, you didn't even like that song.

Well, yeah, but...

After a while, it...

It kinda...

Grows on you.

Bob? We got to finish the show.

Without the song,

I don't know.

Okay, let's see if qwerty has a verse for us.

Larry: [ reading ]

Ephesians 2:10.

So, god made us

And gave us our special gifts and talents

So we can do good works for others.

Isn't that right, bob?

Huh?

Oh, right, larry.

Lots of people just use their special gifts for themselves,

To make money, or to get rich or famous.

Helping ourselves might make us feel good for a while,

But it doesn't last.

Happiness that lasts is called joy,

And it comes from using our gifts the way god intended

From seeing the difference we can make

To the people around us.

So dylan, maybe you'll be building houses

Someday for poor folks.

Maybe in another country.

And I'll be riding my ukulele for science.

Uh, well, sure.

Or to entertain sick kids in a hospital.

That too!

We're out of time for today.

Remember...

God made you special...

And he loves you very much.

Both: g'bye!
