Post by bunniefuu »

hi kids welcome to veggietales i'm bob the tomato and i'm larryboy

uh what's going on larry and i'm outfit lenny boy's faithful

butler and we're here to answer your questions hey wait a minute that's my

line don't worry frail helpless tomato we've got everything under control frail

help larry what are you up to and do you even have a letter today we have a text message from libby

a text message it's the latest thing cool huh guys that's enough now can we just stick

with the script please sir stand aside we don't want innocent bystanders getting hurt

our text message comes from libby for kuchi from stockbridge massachusetts and

libby writes dear larryboy i just love watching you help people escape fibs and

rumors don't mention it libby all part of being a superhero but i've got

something in my house i just can't escape and now i need your help i really love playing video games sometimes all i

can think about is playing even when i'm supposed to be doing my homework or cleaning up my room i'll look over to

that controller and i can't help picking it up and playing what should i do

well libby first of all i'm really impressed that you were able to type out that really long message using those

tiny little buttons and secondly it sounds like you're having a problem with temptation

temptation what's that well simply put temptation is the desire to have or do

something that you know you should avoid or the act of influencing by exciting hope

he means it's when you want to do something that you probably shouldn't do thank you innocent bystander

and it just so happens that we have prepared a story of adventure and mayhem that addresses this self-same dilemma

uh that means we have an exciting show that just might help you roll film

[Music]

call the police [Music]

let's go [Music] we've received unconfirmed reports that

we may indeed be seeing the return of larryboy wow

underway for the city's gala tri-centennial celebration but as the city gets ready to celebrate its 300th

birthday something very odd has been discovered which has authorities concerned

the statue of bumbleberg's founder obadiah bumbly has been mysteriously

wrapped in what appears to be a giant spider web and one such concerned authority would

be none other than the mayor of bumbleberg herself mayor blueberry oh

difficulty back to you bill

no news is good news oh uncle ephraim you'd be so proud now the only force

standing between me and my conquest of bumblyburg is larryboy

not to weary boss i got the goods on him and their brainy butler of his

two voids bananas and chocolate oh delicious

this is exceedingly interesting what what apparently these mysterious webs

are nothing new it seems they've plagued the city of bumbleberg in the past when

how why unfortunately my computer database doesn't contain such old information i

believe i'll have to make a trip to the bumbleberg historical society to find out more oh no i've got to move fast

i'll be back shortly master larry meanwhile i trust you won't give in to your m temptation while i'm gone don't

worry alfred i'm stronger than temptation i'm a superhero

[Applause] [Music]

ah hey i'm walking here please madam use the

sidewalk [Music]

who is it uh hello uh alfred said someone named larryboy might need some assistance well

you can tell alfred that larryboy's a superhero and he didn't need any help oh

oh i see well let me leave my card with you just in case now where did i put those

maybe it's under the chocolate did you say chocolate yeah right here

under the chocolate well i guess it won't hurt to have the

opinion of another trainer oh wait you need security clearance oh well i um

promise not to tell anybody about my secret cave cross my heart all clear come on in i'll

be right i mean larryboy will be right up i thought you'd never ask

[Music]

what are we supposed to be doing i don't know go ask the man well the mayor where's petunia

i've got to hurry [Music]

nearly 300 years ago a small band of valiant vegetables would embark on a ship they called the cauliflower to

settle an unknown land led by the fearless obadiah bumbly they soon began establishing a primitive

settlement in the wilderness of the new world today we give thanks for our safe

arrival on these beautiful and bountiful shores

but it wasn't long before it became clear that something was rotten in the new settlement

dearest catherine i am finding myself irresistibly drawn to a fascinating new establishment in town it is called

apple's fun house and boy does it look like fun abraham brothers

soon chaos would reign in their little community before we get to your exercises you

don't mind if i have a little snack do you it gives me energy

um something no matter dumpling no i just have this thing for chocolate that's all oh

where are my manners care for a bite uh no no thanks i've

been eating too much of it lately less chocolate more exercise mmm wise plan

oh besides being so delicious chocolate is also very interesting did you know

chocolate was invented by the mayans thousands of years ago the mayans eh

made from the beans of the cocoa tree the beans you know what i think would be

fabulous what if there was a museum of chocolate

you know a place you could go to learn all about beautiful chocolate of course you

wouldn't have to eat any if you didn't want to but what an education that would

be and becoming educated about food is an important part of any trading program

yeah museum that'd be so educational

all work in the young settlement of bumbleberg had come to a halt the little town was about to fall into the hands of

a single sinister citizen oh my goodness

[Music] ladies and gentlemen welcome to the

chocolate room did you know that white chocolate contains no caffeine really

that sounds healthy go ahead just a teensy weensy taste won't hurt

well i suppose if it's educational oh it certainly will be

um and yummy excellent now try another one

oh i don't think i should i promised alfred i would eschew chocolate oh no no

chew them you must compare the flavors to learn the differences right

right educational chewing chewing always brewing it never

stops until you're stewing so much fun to go canoeing while your chocolate is

accruing all consuming hair shampooing all

fast my doing go ahead take the plug

[Music]

the cause of all this chaos was ephraim aptly a bad apple who had come over on the cauliflower determined to take over

the tiny town by distracting them with play his plan was to enslave the community with non-stop fun it was only

the timely arrival of obadiah bumbly that saved the little community from ruin ephraim aptly thou art to scourge

upon the fair face of bumbly bird oh brother obadiah thou art so uptight

privy let the brethren play at the little checkers er from aptly i have not

against a bit of harmless amusement brother ephraim it is well and good to play us thou checkers on occasion

citizens of bumblyburg ivacici let us turn our backs on this rotten apple and

his house of over-indulgence thou has tried to lead us into temptation brother ephraim but we shall not follow thee oh

but i bumbly oh yeah says who say we okay

and thus ephraim aptly and his lineage would be forced from bumblyburg defeated in his plot to rule the little village

oh my that apple [Music]

master lady oh what's happened to you oh no you've fallen into a web of chocolate

temptation now isn't that an awful shame you

for us today yeah fast [Music] keep alert and pray otherwise temptation

will overpower you for though the spirit is willing enough the body is weak

matthew 26 41 so you see libby you need to ask god to

help you with the things that keep you from being the kid he wants you to be had a weakness for chocolate

that's why i needed the help of the good friends that god gave me to keep chocolate from getting the best of me i

fear video games might have a similar effect on our friend libby yep there's nothing wrong with playing video games

once in a while but when they keep you from doing your homework or from helping your mom and dad around the house

they're keeping you from being the kid that god wants you to be you might want to ask your parents for some help with

ideas on how to avoid the temptation of that ever-present video controller or

chocolate or whatever great idea alfred well the extent of our scheduled period

together has once again drawn to a close that means that's all the time we have for today kids

thanks redwonder just remember god made you special and

he loves you very much goodbye hey redwonder

one in control not so fast bad apple
