besides talking differently God had

given him great organizational abilities

campfire last night

slushie over there checked out the game

of tickers while the door make sure

I'd go insane

the whole ship right it's been a month

of Sunday since we last night

just have some more root beer my life

it looks like another record month

sorry duty calls

[Music]

a sea of endless pain a picnic promising

the Sun but giving

so listen

yet why my heart is heavy

heavy too

[Music]

peanuts get your hot roasted peanuts

over here I'll take one life is a joke a

trifle a Folly even my dog is a

Melancholy my happy days are sun

boy that song's getting shorter every

week

there you go boss oh and uh by the way

the peanuts make him thirsty so get

ready to sell a lot of root beer you're

a natural Milad and that's why you've

earned this

I wasn't sure if it worked out when I

bought you from those Desperados but

congrats congratulations Malad employee

oh thank you Mr mcpotifer I won't let

you down you'll see from now on I'll

work harder than ever

[Music]

oh Hello Kitty that's Miss Kitty to you

whatever you say

don't be a sap no one's looking take

this money and get out of here why would

I do that

you and I both know you don't want to be

here with this much cash you can get

back home I'm Sorry Miss Kitty but

stealing is wrong if I took that money

I'd be disobeying God not to mention I'd

probably lose my status as employee of

the month

it's Kitty

to show you there's no hard feelings

about you know what I made some

alterations to your costume for you oh

well that's really kind of you but I

wasn't aware that it was

not heavier than before

and now I put some extra stuffing in it

[Music]

all right

what seems to be the trouble here this

man has been stealing from dear old

mcpuffar since the day he arrived here

Little Joe

this does not look good

[Music]

what do you have what do you ever say

for yourself I'm innocent Tell It To The

Judge

[Music]

[Music]

the furnace is rebuilt you've taught us

to respect ourselves and even how to

quilt a year ago my little jail was

busting at the seams

criminals both left and right were

stacked up to the beams

Little Joe he came

he came taught them all a trade

and a Stetson with the money that he

made

a year ago Miss Kitty up and sent me off

to jail

and though I haven't done a thing I'm

stuck here without fail

but my belief that God is good helps

overcome frustration so I'll keep doing

what is

[Music]

I gotta hand it to you you've got the

best attitude of any prisoner I've ever

had God is good Sheriff Bob so what have

I gotta be down about well if God is

really good why is all this stuff

happening to you

I don't know that yet but I will when

it's time I just need to keep doing

what's right

huh all right man lights out another day

of quilting tomorrow

[Music]

all right

and that's when I woke up screaming well

what is my dream mean Joe yeah mine too

what do they mean well there's good news

and there's bad news you're going back

to work today but you're being sent up

the river congratulations so sorry

ah anyone here oh yes dear Baker I have

wonderful news and the mayor has given

you a full pardon he wants you to resume

your duties immediately and I'm

extending an invitation to you Mr

blacksmith to join my chain g*ng up the

river

[Music]

how do you do that hmm oh well I've

always just had this thing for dreams

just another way God made me special

yeah and he loves you very much I've

heard

Little Joe really believed God loved him

still every now and then he'd wonder

what God was up to

hey God Little Joe here not to complain

or anything but what's going on

I tell people what their dreams mean and

they always come true but you gave me a

dream a long time ago and I'm in jail

and I didn't even do anything I'm trying

to do what's right but I'm a little

confused

well please be with Paul and baby

Benjamin most of my brothers

I'm okay in due to

good night God

the very next day who should show up but

the mayor himself

with five percent due to the fact that

our bank is robbed on average every

other week

hey

[Music]

ah Pizza Rockets

[Music]

it was horrible just horrible and it was

so real like it was really happening oh

that sounds Dreadful at any rate as I

was saying about our bank but what did

it mean is there anyone in DodgeBall

City who can interpret dreams but a bag

in the mayor's pardon but I know someone

who might

be able to ah help

[Music]

my Baker tells me you can interpret

dreams

no I can't sir what

I can't interpret your dreams but God

can he'll give me the answer you're

looking for right well he better or I'll

put you back in that jail and you'll

never get out

let's get started earlier today I had

the strangest

recall sat on a hill so big and fat I

got my grill I was thinking about a

barbecue

you came along and go the big fat cow

and then I dreamed I was in front of a

large group of people in my underwear

what's that about

[Music]

so come on start interpreting

well it's really quite simple the seven

fat cows mean seven years of plenty are

coming more food than you can imagine in

the seven skinny cows means seven years

of terrible famine famine's so bad the

good years will be all but forgotten

[Music]

it's true what do we do well during the

good years you should store away as much

food as possible to give back to the

people during the seven bad years and

dodgeball City will be saved of course

you'll need someone with great

organizational abilities to make sure it

all works Auntie what's the stevia suck

draw ah a little disorganized I'm afraid

that's what I thought cucumber you're in

charge excuse me well what are you doing

standing around here you got a city to

save

so the mayor made Little Joe the most

powerful man in DodgeBall City

after him of course and just like always

Little Joe got right to it doing things

right and making stuff work

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

awesome

oh nothing's gonna grow in that soil for

years you did it Little Joe you saved

the town

yeah

oh what is it Leo Joe what's wrong

well sir I've got a family out there

somewhere I just hope they're all right

oh I'd be surprised if this drought was

that widespread I'm sure they're right

as rain

[Music]

calm down Brothers being still look a

little Bleak but if we stick together

we'll get through this as a family right

Paul

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

howdy strangers I run this here Town

what can I do you for we here tell

you've got yourself some food stirred up

sir we reckon we'd come on down to see

if we could buy some from you hmm

but in your family just 11 of us now one

of our brothers got ate up in a wild

gopher accident but that was years ago

Mighty sorry to hear that

we have regretted it every day since

he was my closest brother and I barely

even remember him

where's your paw he could not make the

type he's hot he broken

you'll see the sheriff

I'll take care of you

[Music]

give him whatever they need but don't

let him go till I say so

are you okay Little Joe

I'm fine but whatever you do don't use

my name around him

whatever you say

[Music]

I need both my brothers have changed I

need a test

[Music]

you strangers ready to go I reckon so

your man gave us everything we need we

tried to pay but he would not serve it

now I wonder why he wouldn't take money

from a bunch of low down dirty things so

I

thought you heard me you all came a long

way just to get caught robbing me now

see here we are not thieves we can't

provide some food but if this is their

problem

they make pepperonis partner

[Music]

bet there's been a mistake you're trying

to steal from me and we don't take

kindly to stealing around these hair

parts

mutton boy a boy he loves very much and

it was my fault I cannot let him lose

Benjamin too

keep me prisoner and let my brother go

free

all right all right everybody get out of

there Little Joe we got a problem

Little Joe

so

you'd really sacrifice yourselves for

your brother

it's time to tell you who I really am

Brothers it's me

oh you are not still upset about that

little Mineshaft joke are you

Little Joe I am to blame for what

happened to you

punish me but I beg of you let my

brothers go

Hey Jude what you did was wrong

and it hurt me very much but what you

intended for harm God used for good to

save you all

to save everyone

to save paw

could I not forgive you

hey

you boys forgot your mittens

Little Joe

my boy that's the story of how a very

bad thing became a very good thing and

led to the happiest family reunion the

West had ever seen

[Music]

thank you
