01x29 - Little Big Dog

[bunniefuu]

What's the story, Wishbone?What's

this you're dreaming of?Such a

big imagination on

such a little book?

What's the story, Wishbone?Do you

think it's worth a look?It

kind of seems familiar, like a

story from a book.

Shake a leg now, Wishbone. Let's

wag another tail

Sniffing on adventure With

Wishbone on the trail Come on,

Wishbone

What's the story, Wishbone?

What's the story, Wishbone?

What's the story, Wishbone?

Watch the story, Wishbone.

This is a lovely vacation suite. Really.

Which way to the snack bar?I'm

going to miss you, boy. I want a postcard

from you every day, young man. He hates

the kennel. Oh, well, Vancouver. Here we

come. You're going to love it. Wishbone

doesn't travel light.

Joe, our plane leaves in two hours. We

better get moving. OK, let me make sure

I've got everything.

Your gym clothes and your

dirty socks. Oh, tell you didn't.

Well, it's my scent. It makes Wishbone

feel a little less homesick.

Home away from home. Emily cannot wait to

see Wishbone the whole bit. Oh, is that a

good thing or a bad thing?Good

thing! Ooh, oatmeal cookies are my 10th

favorite. They're my 11th favorite.

Anyway, I love them.

Emily, what happened to all the cookies?

You know that's not true, and he

shouldn't be eating cookies. Emily, we've

been busted by the diet police. David!

I did not expect this of you. What?

I found this upstairs in the closet.

What?You know how important Grandma's

vase is to me. But a

vase is just a vase. I'd rather have you

tell me what happened than to try to hide

it. I'm really disappointed.

Mom, you got this all wrong. I didn't

touch it. David. It's not just the

vase. It's the principal.

I'm talking to David. Emily. It's

important. But mom.

OK, what is it?

I believe.

What?Honey.

Really.

David, I think I owe you an

apology. I shouldn't have jumped to

conclusions. Emily, I got to hand it to

you. You may look like a little kid, but

you faced up to a big problem. Being

little is only a state of mind. Think

about the story of David and Goliath. You

can find this ancient tale in the Bible.

David was a talented musician and hard

worker. He was the youngest

and smallest of seven brothers.

They thought all he could handle was

watching the family's sheep.

It wasn't bad. Out in the meadows, he

made beautiful songs to entertainhimself.

David also practiced his slingshot. He

wanted to be ready to serve his king and

country. He had no

idea how big a part he was destined to

play.

Saul, the king of Israel, was terribly

sick. He could barely sleep, and in sleep

he had nightmares. Ohh

I have tried every one of these

worthless elixirs. The potions

of Egypt, of Phoenicia, of

Sheba, of all the world. None of them

work. Take them

all the way.

They are medicine for the body, not

for the soul. I need

something to soothe my soul.

Soothe the soul. Music.

Music.

That's enough. Next.

Enough.

Oh, no, no, no, noJonathan, take them all

away.

Music is not the cure.

Yes?Your Highness,

don't despair. I once was

walking through the hills near Bethlehem.

When I thought I heard the sound of an

angel. When I got closer, I saw it

was a young shepherd boy playing his

harp. His name is David,

son of Jesse. David?

I'll find him, Father.

Listen, you must have made a mistake. Why

would the king want to see me?

Father, this is David, son of

Jesse.

My king, how can I be of any help

to you?You're my last

hope, David. Well,

I'm not a professional or anything. I

just make music for myself, whatever

comes from inside. That's all I

have to give.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

And why art thou disquieted within me?

Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise

him, who is the health of my continence,

and my God.

David,A little boy no one really noticed,

was the only one big enough to chase away

Saul's nightmares, and he soon became

like one of the family.

Do you have to leave now?I'm sorry, but

they need me back home. Please thank your

father for sparing you. You have

been a blessing to us both. You will

always be welcome here.

I wish you could stay. Me too, Jonathan,

but I'll always be proud to serve my

country.

I am so proud of you for telling the

truth today. What made you change your

mind?I don't know what it was.

I just had a feeling. A feeling?

Mm-hmmInside.

You know what that feeling is?That

feeling is your conscience. Everybody

has one. Yeah, you just have to listen

to it, even when it barely

whispers. It'll

tell you a lot of really important

things. What do you say we go wash

your face with some cold water, OK?

And don't worry about that old face.

You've been very brave. Let's go.

You know, the bravest heart can be in the

smallest body. That's why I like the

rest of David's story.

Israel was on the brink of w*r with the

Philistines. Bad times were a heartbeat

away. All David's brothers joined the

army. David got left behind.

Father, the Philistines could destroy

everything. I've got to help.

David, there's more than one

way to be brave. Your brothers will

defend the nation against the

Philistines. King Saul needs all the men

he can find. I've helped him once. I know

I can help him again. Son, you're

too young for battle. Too young.

I was the one who saved our sheep from

that huge bear. I was the one who took on

that lion. I feel it. I feel ready. I

need you here. I need your strength

and bravery to watch our flocks. The

Philistines are too big for you to take

on. It's not about big or small, Father.

It's about faith. Something in me knows

that I must go. It's the right thing.

Honest, son.

Tomorrow I was going to take food to our

army.

You go in my place.

I'll take yours for the day.

David set out full of hope.

He reached the valley where both armies

stood ready for battle.

David thought he would find his

countrymen fighting bravery,

but something was terribly wrong.

The giant Goliath had come.

What's going on?Why is everyone so scared?

OK, so the guy's got a big shield. So

what?He's a showoff.

Okay, so he's a huge face-smashing,

bone-crunching show-off. Still, he can't

be that bad.

You Israelite cowards!

I've come to you time and time again to

offer my challenge. If any Israelites

can defeat me in battle, me will

surrender to you. And if

he loses, you will surrender to us.

Are there no men left in Israel?

That does it! Won't someone

take on that b*llet?Where are you going?

Hey, wait! Come back!

Israel, where is our faith?

I can't believe this is happening.

OK, now everybody open their eyes.

Wow, Dad, that is so cool. Who

gave it to you?I gave it to you.

Oh, one of those. I've always

wanted this here. It's yours kind of

presents. Which reminds me, I think I'll

be looking for a box of dog treats for

Joe's welcome home present. Well,

if you're really nice to me, maybe I'll

let you drive it to work. now and then.

Well, here it is.

Wow. Why aren't your parents driving it

now?It's not big enough.

After church, they take a whole bunch of

groceries around to all of our older

relatives. Wow. I'm in a

car just like this. As soon as I get my

license, I get an old Mustang

convertible. We can cruise.

Well, get in. Uh, did you say

get in?Bad idea, David.

Look, Mom left the keys in the car.

You want to hear what it sounds like?

Sure.

What's wrong with this picture?Oh yeah,

they don't know how to drive.

David, maybe this isn't such a greatidea.

David, do you know what you're doing?Of

course. It's just another machine. All

I've got to do is pull it up a little bit

and straighten it out. Emily. Emily,

say something. Uh oh.

Well, yeah, that pretty much says it all.

David, stop! This is the biggest mistake

we've ever made. Mom and Dad are going to

k*ll me.

Unless they don't find out.

OK, it's ready to be glued.

Apply generously to both clean

surfaces.

Okay. Wait 10 seconds.

Join the surfaces and clamp together

firmly. For

six to eight hours?Overnight for best

results?David, I don't think this is

gonna work. It's gotta work. I just can't

face Dad after this.

Do you smell that glue?

Hey, David, some of us still breathe

oxygen. Mommy and Daddy are going to be

mad. Mommy and Daddy won't find out

because you won't tell them, right?You

promise?

They're here.

This should be interesting.

Hi, kid. Hey, Sam. Hey, buddy.

Hi. Hi, Mom. I'm just showing her the

car. Yeah, it's really nice. Yeah, it's a

beauty. It's sweet. It's mine. Yeah, it's

all yours. Come on.

Too hard. Too hard.

David! Oh, my skull needs a break.

David?What?I've

been thinking. Shouldn't we tell Mommy

and Daddy what happened?Well, you know

I'd do it for you, kid, but no one ever

listens to the dog. Emily, this is a lot

different from breaking a vase. I'll be

in really big trouble if they find out.

This is bigger than you can understand.

So just let me handle it, okay?

Brace yourself, David. She may be your

teeny tiny sister, but she of the sticky

fingers is right.

Goliath will destroy Israel unless

someone stops him.

David rushed over to find his brothers.

Eliot, Avinadak!

Why are you hiding?That gigantic Jughead

is winning this w*r without a fight. Why

don't you challenge him?David, what

are you doing here?You think it's a show

for your entertainment?Go home and

serenade the sheep with your songs. If no

one else will, I'll answer his challenge.

You?You can't even hold a spear.

And even if you could, where would you

throw it?His left or his right ankle?He

wants to try letting. No one else will.

Come. I'll take you to the king.

Jonathan, King Saul. David.

David, you've heard of my troubles then.

It's good of you to come, but they won't

be charmed away with music this time,

however pure and divine it is. I don't

plan to charm them away, my king. I

mean to slay the giant.

With your sweet music. That music comes

to me from the God of Israel, the same

God who gives me the strength to say that

I must at least try to save our country.

Father, he has strangled a lion with his

bare hands, and he

stopped a bear in its tracks with a

slingshot. Give me your blessing, and I

will give you the last beat of my heart.

The bravest man in my kingdom,

the shepherd boy. A boy

who makes music like an Angel.

I give you my blessing. You

know I love you like a son. Now

that I can combine your faith with mine,

I am ready.

This is where the dog belongs, at the

head of the table. David, the plate is

lovely, but wouldn't it look really

pretty with some food on it?You know,

David, telling the truth about Grandma's

vase must have been really hard for

Emily. Aren't you proud of your little

sister?Sure, I guess. It was

so cute. This afternoon, she even

found the need to tell me that she hadn't

made her bed this morning. I tell you,

she is so impressed by the fact that she

has a conscience and she can really

listen to it. I just hope she doesn't

turn into a tattletale. Well, what makes

you say that?

Ruth, look at this.

Whoops. Family business. Um, I'll just

come back for some leftovers.

David. What?You dropped something.

David, be careful.

Getting a little tense in the Barnes

household. Honey, what's wrong?What's

wrong?This is what's wrong. I just bought

the car five days ago and it's already

falling apart. So on my way home from

work and went to adjust the mirror to

stop sign and it just broke off like a

twig. Look, it's not even bolted. It's

like somebody just glued it on. See. See

You trust people and this is what

happens. This is unbelievable. I'm

calling that guy. I'm calling him and I'm

giving him peace of my mind. I've been

too much money for this copiness to act

like this. So what are you intending to

do about Jamir?What do you mean there's

nothing you can do about it?Well, there's

plenty I can do about it. What?I've

already talked to a lawyer. I'll see you

in court, mister.

David, can a person have two consciences?

I don't think I'm the best person to ask

about having a conscience. Because one

mind says to tell Daddy, but the other

says not to get you in trouble. And I'm

so mixed up.

Emily, you're not the one who's mixed up.

I am. The reason you're confused is

because I need to tell them. But

I've been too scared. I'll go with you.

That's all right. I need to do this

alone. Now go back to bed.

Emily. Thanks.

Your conscience is coming through loud

and clear, David. You're ready to face

your giant mistake.

David was ready to face Israel's giant

problem. I need five of the

smoothest, roundest stones so smooth

they'll make the air sing when they fly.

You fleas! I will

pop you one by one between my

fingers. Hey, you!

That's it! No more talk! I

accept the challenge!

You have a problem?

What am I, a dog?To be chased by a

boy with a stench?Laugh all you want. But

today is the last day you've threatened

Israel. Why, I will tear you

apart with my bare hands and feed you

to the jackals and the vultures.

Something inside tells me you want.

Armed with his fate, David defeated the

giant and ensured the safety and freedom

of his people. A pretty big feat for a

little shepherd boy.

The strength I had was given to me. I

don't claim victory for myself.

I'll try my best to live up to thishonor.

First off, let me say that it was really

grown up of you to tell us. Go easy on

him. He's a good kid. Yes, it was. But

that doesn't erase what you did.

So for starters, David, you're grounded.

That means no computer for a month.

Honey, you know we love you. And we want

to be able to trust you. But when we

leave Emily alone with you here, we

have to know that you're going to be

responsible. That means making good

decisions, son. Right. If we can't trust

you when we're gone, then we're just

going to have to get a babysitter for the

both of you. But-- So can we count on you?

I'll do my best. I promise. All right,

David. Give it one more shot.

Thanks. You're

going to have to show us all the pictures

as soon as you get them developed. It's

okay. Can he eat ice cream?Yes, of

course. Raised on the stuff. No, although

I wonder what can't he eat?Mom,

my conscience says I better have two

scoops. Emily, what a coincidence. You're

a mind reader. Well, are you sure that's

your conscience talking?Or

your tummy.

Emily, you look like you might need a

hand with that. Can I have a little bite,

please, please, pleaseEmily, please.

Just one little bite, please, pleaseI

need something to soothe my soul.

Soothe the soul?

Music. Just what the doctor ordered.

Music. But can music really make a good

story better?

So the next time you're enjoying my show,

remember there are a lot of musicians

behind the scenes painting the perfect

moves with music, which is why every show

ends on just the right note.
