Post by bunniefuu »

foreign [Applause] [Music]

once said not to be afraid of greatness some are born great

some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them

oh who is it um are your highness ah the King was

wondering if you could make him a sandwich it's three o'clock in the morning

yeah about the he says that he's the king and whatever he says goes well I'm

the queen and the King can make his own sandwich

okay you can't do this to me I'm the queen oh

you wanna bet the king can do whatever he wants he is

the king and don't come back

don't you think that might have been a little harsh oh no way if she got away with that no one would listen to you

where what am I gonna do now it looks like we're gonna have to find

you a new Queen hmm make me a sandwich

[Music] this is the story of a great person it's

hard to say whether our hero was born that way or was just placed in the right place at the right time and decided to

do the right thing I suppose you can be the judge at oh and one more thing our hero isn't a

king just an ordinary girl

[Music] [Applause] [Music]

[Applause] [Music]

thank you foreign wait a minute Essie yeah well let me see

if I got this you saw your friend steal an apple yeah that's right yeah it

wasn't hoise but she took it yep and now you don't know what to do yeah what

should I do what do you think you should do well uh I suppose I should tell her it

was wrong and and that she should pay for it sounds like a good answer yeah but I'm I'm too scared

Esther yeah cousin Mordecai how long have I been your cousin well uh pretty

much forever yeah give or take have I ever steered you wrong

well no I guess you never need to be afraid to do what's

right do you remember that song your grandmother used to sing

um and about God being on our side and not

having to be afraid yeah I remember that one good

but what does she just want to be my friend anymore oh Essie you can do the

right thing and there are problems out there a lot bigger than stolen apples

[Applause] like that one it's Haven but that guy hates me I gotta

get scared

to Queen Esther [Music] [Applause]

[Music] [Applause]

I just heard the news and you're the queen of all pleasure

yep well you gotta be at least a little excited nobody even asked me if I wanted

to be Queen oh Essie you always did have a mind of

your own I always like that about you

oh don't worry there must be a reason but hey tomorrow you'll be introduced to

the court oi that'll be fun oh get some rest Queen Essie my cousin

queen of pleasure who knew Mordecai the king what's he like

oh he's sharp real shop I think you're really gonna like him

do you think she's gonna like me oh you she will you're the king

everybody likes you under penalty of death well yeah but you know even if I

weren't the king say I was one of those guys who cleans up after the camels or annoyer or something do you still think

no doubt about it you're big and strong Charming handsome why any girl in the

whole Kingdom would be happy to make you a sandwich [Music]

you really think so oh I know so well all right then bring her in

[Music]

and our King who are you I am big fan your loyal Chef well what are you doing

here I don't remember inviting every newlywed needs a cake no

[Music] oh my well that's lovely you made that

for me we oh you shouldn't have it looks delicious why don't you bring me over a

piece well you know I was thinking you could come over here I hate to eat it

well I always eat right here on my Throne why would I need to come on

the light in this particular spot is you can only appreciate the full beauty

of this confectionary Masterpiece in their proper land oh light huh

if that makes sense I guess I suppose I could come over there

[Music] hey who's this guy

I I am the Royal Chef I've never seen you I'm a new

he made me a cake isn't that nice did you invite him

no no need to tell you what's gonna happen to someone who appears before you

Uninvited I will no I was too busy thinking about that game

you love me stop it's a trap

[Music] why is there a piano on my cake

[Applause] [Music]

that's right we are and we could have taken over the kingdom if it wasn't for

that mattering Queen foreign

well actually your highness it was the good guard Mordecai he alerted me it was

Mordecai who saved your life oh well Mordecai

King what should the punishment be for these two dangerous criminals the Most

Wanted bees in Persia who appeared before you Uninvited and tried to drop a

piano on your head well let's see it should probably be

pretty stiff huh what do you think I say the punishment should be banishment to

the island of Perpetual tickling

[Music]

blue

foreign foreign [Music]

there are two things you don't do in Persia one of them is trying to drop a

piano and a king's head the other is appearing beforehand uninvited

peony Brothers found me [Music]

now it might seem that things are going pretty well for Esther and Mordecai after all they saved the King's life but

Heyman had something else up his sleeve or wherever you see nothing could be worse for Haman

than for his enemy Mordecai to be on a king's good side if the king like Mordecai more than him it might

jeopardize his position as the second in command so Haman came up with his own sneaky

little plan

there is more really those peonies are no longer here

a much greater danger may I wait you now

how's that possible with permission your highness I'll tell

you how go on it's my duty to inform you and if

I'm correct to ignore this great emergency would be neglected model of my

office servant project there are those who walk among a social

no respect

there are those who can't be trusted oh my goodness tell me about these people

a sneaky little family who do sneaky little things into matters of the king I fear if

they're not there with the prospect makes me weep a zucchini shapes are

cover kisses where you'll sleep [Music] a nerve I am disgusted there are those

who can't be trusted that sure doesn't sound like a nice family nope

your highness I believe we must act with speed agreed say the word I'll give you

what you need people solution but you must act now how

can I help with permission your highness I'll tell you how come on after careful

calculation I suggest that thing it will send them to the dreaded Island but

before I can take action we have to close the deal and it needs a king and print out your

Royal seal I agree there must be busted

there are those who can't be trusted

[Music]

the law is now adjusted for those who can't be trusted

[Music]

more that guy is busted

[Applause] [Music]

what's his oh

let's see Izzy kazim Mordecai what is it oh he's

done it he's finally done it who done what look

what's this it's an edict in just a few days all of us a whole family will be

sent to the island of Perpetual tickling what who who did this oh who do you think

amen I told you he hates us hates the whole family and and now he's done it he

got the king to sign this and and we'll all be vanished

what are you gonna do that's just it I can't do anything I'm just a God

but you you're the queen what do you mean you must go to him you

must go to the king what don't you know what happens to people who appear before the king Uninvited Esther remember the

peony Brothers Esther there is no other way you are the only one who can stop

this no no I'm not gonna I didn't even want to be the queen no you're smart

Mordecai think of another way Esther there is no other way

why would he listen to me I mean hey man is his right hand man

I can't tell you what to do but I can tell you this you wanted to know why you were here why

you became Queen I told you God must have a reason Esther perhaps he put you here for such

a time as this perhaps this is the reason

Esther you never have to be afraid to do what's right

I'll pray for you we'll all pray for you

tell me why why I don't understand

why or show me your hand tell me who I because

[Music]

foreign

I've had all these [Music]

with his love I will not be afraid

[Applause] [Music]

for there is nothing I can't face when

God is [Music] [Applause]

[Music]

the battle is not us

[Music]

foreign

guys once said that in the Moment of Truth a great person doesn't have to think

much about what they're going to say or do they just speak and do what's right Esther knew what she had to do was right

so she figured she didn't have to be nervous [Music] alright so she was a little nervous give

her a break hi Queen

[Music]

so we're all set I got the big boat reserved for Friday two more days and

we'll be rid of that dangerous family forever good luck Eamon what would I do without

you [Music]

all invited the queen did you invite the queen uh no I don't think I did

foreign

come on over here Queenie Poo

I don't know if anybody told you but popping up uninvited is generally discouraged around here by death or

banishment but my Little Queenie Poo can visit me anytime she wants

so what is it you won't just tell me whatever you want it's yours

if it pleases the king there's something that I'd like to I like you and Hayman to come to dinner

tonight oh isn't that nice she's in Badness over

for dinner but you bet we'd love to come what time

you want is over uh say eight eight it is I'll see you

then oh that's nice yep she's a keeper

now don't get me wrong showing up uninvited before His Highness is a very

brave thing to do but telling the king that his right hand man is a weasel is especially difficult

what if he doesn't believe her if the weasel stays well let's just say it wouldn't be so hot for our girl

no Esther was looking for just the right moment to Spring the news on him okay

this is for the wedgie it's for the wedgie make it an easy one okay

who was the youngest Jackson oh I think I know that one it's uh

Tito yeah Tito nope not Tito not Tito nope I thought for sure it was Tito nope

not Tito not Tito a mere highness this is the real reason I asked you over

tonight was to was to

to see if you would both like to join me for dinner again tomorrow night

well sure yeah are you sure it wasn't Tito nope not

Tito [Music]

well hello there I guess there's not much to say hey

Mordecai see you now in two days you'll be waking up in chuckle City

you know I just came from dinner with the king and queen and they invited me

over again tomorrow night I guess they must like me why don't you

like me Mordecai you know it wouldn't be too hard to show

me that you like me just a little bow that's all is that so hard who knows I'm

a very influential guy I might be able to work something out for you with your

family arrogance is not fitting for a fool hey man much less as lying spitting

for a right-hand man I'll never bow to you [Applause]

well maybe it is foolish right and man can arrange for you to take your trip to

tickle town tonight [Music]

9 28 a.m King puts on his slippers and brushes his teeth

9 32 King Cuts himself shaving ouch I remember that one how about

something more recent you got anything more recent thanks for doing this you know it really

does help me sleep 140 King is joined by Haman in the throne room I really like

it when you read me these records I guess you could say it's the story of me

145 Heyman leaves to get Queen 147 Chef arrives with wedding cake

150 Jing stands up to eat cake oh this is a good one excitement drama 151 the

King's life is saved by the guard Mordecai 152. wait wait wait

you say Mordecai saved my life he's that little grape with the mustache right uh

yep Mordecai huh do we ever do anything to thank him for that uh nope that's a

shame maybe I ought to give him a card or something you know to show my

appreciation I wish I were more creative with things like that uh oh come in

I have the most urgent request I'm wondering if wait a minute there Haman

let me ask you something I need a little creative advice ah

okay what is it easy okay there's this really great guy that I really want to thank

you know to show him my appreciation for something he did you got any ideas

oh well King I'm flattered I was thinking of a card or something oh no no

no no clads are nice about this sounds like a very special guy

it sounds like the kind of guy who deserves a parade

parade yeah I think this guy should be dressed

in Royal robes and be marched to the whole city on your horse and and then

maybe you should even let him wear one of your crowns I guess he is pretty

special and one of your most noble princes should lead this man through

these streets proclaiming this is a really neat

the king really likes him his Brave and

has rugged good looks

you see Haman yo the creative one around here what would I do without you

[Music]

every last one do that for the good God Mordecai The Man Who Saved My Life

[Applause]

I knew I could count on you the lucky thing you dropped by now what was it you

wanted you know maybe you should just ask me tomorrow I'm getting kind of sleepy good

night they say that pride comes before or fall

looks like nobody told that to Haman but if Mordecai Esther and the whole

family are going to be saved Esther's gotta come through and she's only got one more chance

[Music]

thank you I wonder where Haman could be see ya

Heyman thanks for the parade laugh all you want you won't be laughing

tomorrow and no wait you will oh never mind

hi sorry I'm late so the real reason I called both of you

here again tonight is too is to to

remember Esther you never need to be afraid to do what's right

your highness if someone is plotting against my family tomorrow my people and

I will be banished to the island of Perpetual tickling what banish my queen or who would dare it's Heyman is

is it true I don't know what she's talking about she's crazy it is true can

you prove this judge I'm telling you she's making it up [Music]

wait a minute oh that's Mordecai I just gave him a parade Mordecai is my cousin

his family is my family you had me banish the man who saved my

life and my old Queen for your punishment Haman you ought to

be sent to the island of Perpetual tickling along with anyone else who just

came against my queen and her family [Applause]

everything [Music]

Heyman got what was coming to him and then some and Mordecai this is my favorite part he

got haman's old job the number two guy in the whole Kingdom not bad [Music]

and Esther what a gal she showed more courage and Ten Kings and saved her

people now she wasn't born for greatness she didn't go to school for it she just

learned that sometimes God has planned so big only he can see him all she had

to do was believe yup she was just a regular kid
