Post by bunniefuu »

What's the story, Wishbone?What's

this you're dreaming of?Such a

big imagination on such

a little pup?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. well Sniffing

out adventure with Wish Phone

on the trail. Come on, Wish

Phone. What's the story, Wish Phone?

What's the story, Wish Phone?

What's the story, Wish Phone?

What's the story, Wish Phone?

Yes, the jump shot's working today,buddy.

Beautiful. Now let me show you a layout,

Joe. Hey, look, it's

Grady Ray. Grady who?Grady the

Stingray. He's the only freshman who's

ever been a starter for varsity. He's got

a deadly jump shot. It's like

laser-guided. Hey, should I

show my jump shot?

I bet you can't do that again. Watch.

Not bad, kid. Hey, come here.

Yeah, I taught him that. You want to come

to the park and sh**t some hoops with us?

We can play two on two. Sure.

Just you.

Just him. What about the coach?

Are you sure it's okay?I told you twice

I'm sure. Three times the charm?

Okay. Goodbye. What about me?What about

Wishbone?he better

stay. They might step on him.

We never step on him?Yeah.

But, uh, they might

not like it. Oh, they'll like me?

I'm easy to love. Wishbone, stay.

Stay?Wishbone, I said stay.

On our day?You're saying goodbye on a

Saturday. Stay on a Saturday?

You have bigger and better things to do?

The Red Badge of Courage is the story of

another kid in a hurry, Henry Fleming.

The novel, written by Stephen Crane in



Civil

w*r.

Henry Fleming thinks he'll be Mr. Big

Stuff, covered in glory if he leaves his

quiet life on the farm and joins the

army. But his mother knew

w*r was no game, and she didn't want a

dead hero for a son. So

this is goodbye, Henry. Now, don't go

acting like you'll beat the whole army of

rebels single-handed. And if you want to

be a man, don't think bragging, spitting,

and cussing will make you one. But, Mama,

I am a man. I just know I can do

something big. Just come back home, and

then maybe one day you'll grow up.

And maybe then you'll be a man.

Promise me you'll be careful. Ma, I

already promised... Promise again. Okay,

okay, I promise. Now, Mama, I've gotta

go. Goodbye!

I love you.

Robin?Yeah?Why aren't you

going with Joe and... That's Grady Ray,

isn't it?Ellen, I want to report a

kidnapping. You mean the sting?

Well, why aren't you going with them?They

didn't ask.

I give up. What are you doing?

Well, you smell like Joe.

Oh, yeah, you're Joe. You haven't washed

this. But you're certainly not acting

like Joe.

Well, it's almost a sock. It's kind of

you, Joe. Truly kind, but I've got enough

socks already. This really isn't

necessary. Joe, it's David.

He's calling about your biology project.

I'm busy! Should I tell him to call back

later?

Hey, Joe, it's Sam. I'm still

busy. OK,

So exactly why don't we like sleeves

anymore?

Do you know someone named JT?It must be

Grady. I'm JT. I

knew it. He thinks he's someone named JT.

Ellen, he's got amnesia.

JT, huhWhat

happened to Joe?Yes,

yes, yesYou are

looking at the new 4th member of Grady's

crew. I'm Grady's new basketball

partner. Yes. They're in

high school and they want to be friends

with me. I don't know, Joe. It may

not be as great as you think. Get

him. Punch him. Get him.

After joining the army, all Henry did was

wait. The men were nervous and excited.

Their pent-up energy was about to

explode. Come on, Wilson. My dollar says

you'll win. Knock him down. Let's see

blood. Ohh Come on, Fred. There's

gonna be a battle tomorrow. It's a

battle. We're marching out in the

morning. Hi, Jim. There's gonna be a

battle tomorrow. A battle?

But, Jim. Hey, guys, there's gonna be a

battle tomorrow. Hey, a battle tomorrow.

There's gonna be a battle tomorrow. I

heard it myself. We're marching out in

the morning. No, no, no, it's true. We're

going to be fighting tomorrow, boys.

There's no more waiting.

Hey, Henry, what do you think about that

news, huhA babble. Yeah. It's about

time, I guess. Let me

tell you, I want to show them Johnny Reb

something they'll never forget. I'm going

to pound them. I'm going to knock their

dirty Rebel lights out. Aren't you?Well,

yeah. But, Wilson, aren't you a

little bit... Nervous.

Nervous. There's no way I'm

nervous. No way. What

are you anyway?Yella.

What's eating you, Henry?Jim, have you

ever wondered what a fight will be like?

Did you ever ask yourself, what if I

can't stand it?What if

I just turn around and run

Henry?Everyone wonders.

And even Wilson. I was just

thinking the same thing myself.

Am I gonna live another day?

Henry, nobody knows.

You're not alone.

Another Saturday alone. This is starting

to look like a pattern. Sorry, Wishbone.

Looks like Joe's gone again this

Saturday. But you can keep me company.

Uh, you're sweet, Ellen.

Hello?Sam. No, I'm

sorry. Oh, I thought he was practicing

over at Robin's. Oh, hold on a second,

Sam. I have another call. If it's

Joe, tell him I'm still available. Uh,

hello?David. No, I'm

sorry I haven't. Uh,

David, I need to call you back. Sam, I

need to call you right back. Joe

wouldn't ring the doorbell.

Where's Joe?

That's today's big question. Sam and

David are looking for him, too.

It must be Grady Ray.

Joe. I had to apologize

to three people for you today. Four,

counting me. Do you really think it's a

good idea to spend the entire evening

with Grady, too?Mom, they want me to hang

with them. They go out for pizza every

Saturday. Joe, who your friends are

is your own choice. But I just want you

to be careful, okay?

Older kids can sometimes be intimidating.

Mom, I'm not afraid of them. They're my

friends. I

know it sounds selfish, but I just have

to say it. What about me?All

right, just be careful. All right,

I'm there. I'm one of the crew.

Finally, the soldiers were moving toward

their first battle. Their breakfast sat

like stones in their stomachs, but in

just a few minutes of marching, those

stones had turned into butterflies.

The soldiers dug trenches to protect

themselves, but many wondered if they

were digging their own graves.

Commit firing.

It's over. We won!

That wasn't so bad.

But it was over. We won. I'm

not here. I'm not here. It's a bad dream,

a nightmare. I'll just wake up and it'll

disappear. What am I doing?This

isn't how it was supposed to be. I don't

belong here. I'm just a kid. I don't want

to be a soldier. I don't want to be a

hero. I want to live.

That's better. See, that squirrel

isn't a coward because he's up in that

tree. He's got a survival instinct.

I'm not a coward, am I?

Smart dog. Can't wait to see the rest of

his amazing tricks. Let's go.

I do not like these guys, Joe. I'd better

go along.

You'd better tell him to scat

Go on, scatScat

As long as we've known each other, you've

never told me to scatJoe, I'm

hurt.

Grady, you had the cola,

you had the lemon-lime, and you had the

orange. You forgot straws.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, Joe. Hey. Who are

those two little kids?Oh, they're just

two kids from school. I recorded some

great songs near my house. Great. Let's

see if any of the birds sound the same.

You know,

for biology homework, this is pretty fun.

Yeah.

What's that sound?

You hear it?Sounds so familiar.

What is it?What is

it?That's it. I've got it.

It's a geek mating call.

Geek mating call. Get it?

Geek mating call.

Talk about going back on your friends.

Yeah, I know. I can't believe he'd hang

out with them. That's how humiliate us.

Joe?Joe! Hey, guys. Joe!

Didn't even say goodbye. Joe!

Or should I say JT?Something is

terribly wrong.

So, this is what you do with Grady and

his crew. How do you stand the

excitement?Hey, is

anybody tired?I could sub for someone.

No, but we're going to be thirsty pretty

soon. Could you fill up our water bottles

again?Oh, yeah, sure.

Joe, top dogs don't grovel. Oh, and

make sure you let the water get cold.

Sam and David never treated you likethis.

Hey, look, there's Wishbone and Joe.

Yeah, and there's Grady Ray and Joe's new

friends.

Hey, you guys! Hey, you guys, wait up!

Jeez, JT, you didn't have to run. We're

not that thirsty. Oh, yeah.

I've got to go.

Hey, guys, wait up. I don't think we're

going to catch him, Joe, but at least

we're headed in the right direction.

Henry's conscience caught up with him,

and now he was running in the other

direction, back to the front line.

I got to find Jim and Wilson. I hope

they're OK.

Hey there! Hey!

Stop! Hey, what's going on?Show me what's

happening. Let me go. We gotta get out.

What's going on?What's your hurry?

Henry, you're alive.

I'm hurt. What happened?

You got caught on the big retreat, huh

Come on, I'll take you back.

So, b*llet grazed ya, huh

Uh, yeah. Yeah, that's exactly how it

happened. First battle, and you've

already got the red badge of courage, ehA

lot of guys couldn't

stand it. Upton ran.

Poor Jim didn't have your luck. Jim?

Is he dead?

Best one of us all is dead, Henry.

Listen, every lick of fight we do

tomorrow, let's do it for Jim, okay?Is it

a deal?For Jim.

Sure makes you think, don't it?

I saw a lot to make me think today.

Thanks, Wilson. You're different somehow

from who you were yesterday. Did you know

that?You're a good man.

...the

three-game series is equal. One of these

after the Blue Jays scored back at the

top of the knife with 12... You know, I

had no idea this simple beast had such a

complicated inner life, such

strong affections. Oh, this book

has opened my eyes. Well, what can I

say?Still waters run deep. You know,

people are always talking about training

dogs, and sometimes I think they train

us. You know, they're the ones who really

teach us what it means to be loyal and

what it means to be a friend. My middle

name is Faithful. And most of them

would rather die than betray their

friends, their pack. Yeah,

Wishbone could teach us all a thing or

two. Ohh First day digging lessons will

start at 8:00 a.m. sharp, followed by

scent tracking at 9:30. Okay, Mom,

you've made your point. You don't have to

keep lecturing me about it.

I've really messed up, Mom. You should

have seen Sam and David's faces. I

know. I think Robin was a little sad,

too. I wish I had

never met Grady. You can't turn back the

clock, Joe. You know what you have to

do. I know,

but what if they don't forgive me?You'll

never know until you ask.

Okay. I will.

I'll be right behind you, buddy. When are

you going to do that?I don't know.

I never thought I'd be afraid to see Sam

and David, but I am.

Trust me, don't let too much time go by.

You've got to face up to it, Joe, but

you'd better take the cute little dog

just for insurance.

The next day, Henry didn't know if he

could face his fears.

Henry, Henry, come out. Live

or die, we're a team.

Remember, it's all for Jim.

For Jim.

That's the way, private.

You're a fierce one. If only every man

would fight like you. I hope you're brave

enough to do what's next. If

we can pry that line from their grip,

we'll chase them all the way to Virginia.

Can you do it?

You'll lead the charge, then, Private.

Yes, sir! Come on, boys!

Follow me! I won't leave your

side, Henry. At least not till I die.

It's yours to take back to the general,

Henry. You led us here, and we're

still alive.

And, Mama, it's been a big feat just to

stay alive, but you knew that already.

I did, Henry. I've decided this one

will be my last w*r. Even one's too

many. I think of you always, Mama,

and I pray I'll see you again someday.

Your loving son, Henry.

So we're back on for Saturday, right?

Yeah. Thanks a lot.

See you, Wishbone. Bye, Robin. Joe, this

is brilliant. A pizza really says it all.

I love you. You're my friend. Beat the

dog. Joe, wouldn't

half a pizza say pretty much the same

thing?Buddy. Pal. Hi. It's

love. Yeah. And that's that's the

mockingbird. OK.

Come in. Pizza

delivery. Wow, your mother has got ESP.

I know. How

did you know we were craving pizza?I

didn't, but somebody did.

Dear David and Sam, forgive

me?I've been feeling really

low since Saturday. Me too.

I let you down. If you forgive me, I

promise I'll never do it again. Open your

door and tell me now. Doe,

get in here. Or before the

pizza gets cold. I'm sorry, guys. It's

all right. It's okay. So, have fun with

Grady.

Very funny. Do you want to do something

with me and Robin on Saturday?Sure. Sure,

that'd be fun. Ah, sharing pizza is

the international ritual of friendship.

It's food, it's fun, and

everybody gets a slice.

Wishbone!

Across the smoke-invested fields they

came on, swinging their r*fles at all

angles, a flag tilted forward sped near

the front. To safely recreate the Civil

w*r, as described by Stephen Crane, we

needed top-notch special effects and

specially trained actors. Most of the

soldiers you see in this show are

re-enactors, people interested in

accurately recreating the events of the

Civil w*r. Re-enactors are...

Basically hobbyists. They're people who

have have gotten involved in a a hobby

called historical preservation. What's

special about a reenactor is that they

come totally prepared and totally

equipped with their equipment, with their

uniforms. The look, their haircuts,

their facial hair is all very authentic.

So it's their hand-to-hand combat. It

looks real, but it's actually a well

choreographed dance. To create the

excitement of the battle scenes, we also

needed help from special effects. The Red

Badge of Courage was a particularly

intense effects episode, because we were

recreating Civil w*r battles. We had

people being shot, explosions going off

nearby, cannon fire, and muskets

being fired. What about these campfires?

Hey, guys, there's gonna be a battle. We

had fake logs, and we could

turn the fires on and off as necessary

for certain camera views. And the

explosions?

They were carefully prepared to sh**t up

only soft materials like bark and mulch.

All right, here we go. And they were set

off only when everything and everyone

were protected. And the b*llet holes?Yes,

it looks like he's been shot. Actually, a

special device is attached to the actor,

and when it is discharged by our trained

staff, it blows a hole through the

actor's clothes from the inside. Action,

Gary. Wow, that looks real.

To safely and accurately portray the

Civil w*r, we had to recreate some pretty

complicated battle scenes. But with the

help of experienced professionals, we

made sure every person and every dog were

safe.
