VeggieTales: God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?! (1994)

[bunniefuu]

Okay, Larry,
it's time for the theme song.

Uh yeah, Bob. What do I do?

Hmm, let's see... I know.
You play the guitar.

Bob, I don't have any hands.

Oh, you're right.

Well, okay, you play this.

Oh, I don't want to play that,
I'll look silly.

Oh, come on, it'll be fun.

Nope, not going to do it.

It's for the kids.

Oh, okay.
But they better not laugh.

Alright, you'd better
go on out there.

Hey kids!
Welcome to Veggietales!

I'm Bob,

And I'm Larry,
the cucumber!

And we're here
to answer your questions!

Yep!

Now, Larry...

Yeah, Bob?

The other day I was walking home
from my bowling league

when I bumped into Marco,
one of our TV friends!

Oh, that's great!

Now Marco had a question for us.

He said that when his baby sister

does something
that makes him mad,

and then she says she's sorry,

Marco's mom says
he needs to forgive her.

Why does he have to forgive?

Oohh...that's a good question!

Hmm. Oh, I know!

I'll tell Marco the story
of The Grapes of Wrath!”

Oh, that's a classic!

This'll be good!

Once upon a time there
were some very cranky grapes...

Um...

Are you sure that's how
"The Grapes of Wrath” goes?

Oh, yeah!

Oh, okay.

Um...Bob.

Yeah, Larry?

Try not to interrupt.

Oh...sorry.

Once upon a time there were some
very cranky grapes...

[Larry] One day, the grapes were
out driving around in their car,

when suddenly they hit a bump.

We must've hit a bump!

Hey, what'd you do that for?

I didn't do it, you did!
Ya big possum head!

I did not, you taco salad,
rabbit-nose!

Did too, casserole-head,
pimento-loaf iguana-boy!

Pa!

Now rose, apologize to yer brother.

Huh? What fer?

Well, ya know he just
turned 18 years old...

Yeah, so?

So that would make him
a casserole-head,

pimento-loaf iguana-man!

Oh, yeah, sorry about that,
cabbage-nose, elvis-puppy.

Yeah, and don't you forget it!

Pa, there's somebody over there!

Eh? Ooh, yer right!

Uh, what kinda fella
do ya suppose that is, Ma?

Ooh, let's see.

Hmm, it's no grape, that's fer sure.

Oh, yeah.

It must be some kind
of a bean or somethin'.

Mm-hmm.

Well, what's that thing
he's got on his head?

Well, it's yella...

um, cheese is yella! Mm-hmm!

So that would make him
a cheese-headed bean-boy!

Ooh!

Ahem. I'm not a bean.
I'm an asparagus.

What'd the bean-boy say?

He said he was
a maspara-muh-whoozit.

Huh?

Asparagus.

A plant of the liliaceous genus.

From the Greek, asparagos.

Ooh.

And this is not cheese
on my head, it is a hat.

A yellow hat.

[grapes laughing]

Look at that crazy hair!

Looks like peas!!

Hey, bean-boy!

You been gluin' peas
to yer noggin?

No.
[sniff, sniff]

Well, that's just terrible!

Don't those grapes know it's not
nice to make fun of people?

That's just it, Bob.

They didn't know how
bad it made Junior feel.

Well, jeepers, Larry,
what happened next?

Luckily, Junior's dad
heard 'em laughing

and came outside to see what
all the commotion was about.

Hey, what's all the commotion
out here?

Ooh! Grapes!

They were calling me "bean-boy”

and telling me I had
peas on my head!

Is that true?

Oh, no, no, no!

We would not do such a thing

as what you said
we would have done.

Except for,
maybe we did that I guess...

Now that you...
Well, okay, we did that.

Yep, that's what we did.

[Larry] So Junior's dad explained
to the grapes

that when we make fun of people
and call them names,

it makes them feel very bad inside.

He also told them that God
wants us to be kind to everybody,

and that when we act mean,
it makes God feel sad, too!

Well, gee.

I guess we never really
stopped to think about it...

How it was makin' ya feel..and all.

Yeah, we was just havin' some fun,
didn't mean nuthin' by it.

Yeah, sorry, sorry...
sorry, didn't mean it.

We'll never be mean again!

Okay! That's better!

Now Junior,

is there anything you'd
like to say to the grapes?

Um, like what?

[Larry] Junior's dad
explained to him

that when someone says
they're sorry for hurting you,

and they really mean it,
we need to forgive them.

That way we all feel better!

Oh, I get it!

Okay, I forgive you, grapes!

Whew! That's great!

All right!
Now, doesn't everyone feel better?

Yeah, great, mm-hmm.

It's almost time for supper.

Come on inside, Junior!

"Junior?!?"
His name is "Junior?!?"

[grapes laughing]

That's a funny name!

Okay, this is the last straw!

[grapes laughing]

Hey, I thought you said you weren't
going to tease anymore!

Well, that's exactly what we said.

And we grapes always
try to keep our promises!

Isn't that right?

Sure, yeah, that's right.

Now what do you kids
have to say to Junior?

I'm sorry, real sorry...
we're mighty sorry, sorry!

Boy, I sure am glad they
got that straightened out!

Yep!

The grapes were really
sorry this time,

so once again,
Junior forgave them.

What?!?

[Larry] I said...
once again, Junior forgave them!

Are you serious?

Well, I think so.
Bob, am I serious?

Oh, yeah, Larry.
Uh, yeah, you're serious.

[Larry] You see?

I'm supposed
to forgive them again?

After what they just did to me?

Well, uh...yeah!

Sure, I forgave them
for callin' me "bean-boy'

and sayin' I had cheese
on my head,

but now they're
makin' fun of my name

and they laughed when the hoe
almost smacked my face clean off

and when that truck picked me up
and threw me in the sand!

And you're tellin' me
I'm supposed to forgive ‘em again?

[Larry] Um...well...
are you guys really sorry?

We're sorry
and we'll never do it again.

Ya see, Junior,

when we do bad things,
it hurts God's feelings, too.

God wants us to tell Him
we're sorry.

The Bible says when
we tell God we're sorry,

He will always forgive us!

No matter what?

[Larry] No matter what!

Wow!

That's right!

And because God
always forgives us,

we need to forgive others
when they hurt our feelings, too.

Well, how many times
am I supposed to forgive ‘em?

Um...well...
uh, Bob?

Gee...ya know...
I'm not sure.

Let's ask Qwerty!

Hey, Qwerty,
can you help us?

We need to know how many times
we're supposed to forgive people

according to the Bible.

Maybe, uh... 7 times?

Oh. 70 x 7.



Um, do you know
what 70 x 7 is?

Nope... how 'bout you?

Nope.

Well, does anybody know
what 70 x 7 is?



Well, let's see,
I remember from college,

it was pir..
...boy, ooh...

Was it 2 or maybe 77



Ooh!

That's one smart grape.

[Larry] Well, there you have it!


Wow!

So I guess we need
to forgive each other

even if we make the same
mistakes more than once!

That's right, Junior.

Now do you have something
to say to the grapes?

Yeah, I forgive you guys again.

Thanks...thanks, Junior.

Ya know, now that we're gonna
be nice and all,

I don't think we should be called
"The grapes of wrath” anymore!

Mm-hmm.

Well, what should we
be called, then?

The grapes of... nice?

No, that's not it.

That little girl of yours
has quite a head for numbers.

Maybe you could be...

"The grapes of math!"

[Larry] Well, everyone was very
excited about the new name.

But it was time for Junior
to go inside and eat supper.

So with the sun setting
in the west,

and Rosey happily quoting the
quadratic equation in the backseat,

the grapes of wrath, I mean, math,

drove off to share their niceness
with the rest of the world.

The end!

Wow! That was great, Larry!

But, um, are you sure
that's how the story goes?

Oh, yeah!

Hey, kids, have you ever been bad?

Do you remember when you broke
your mom's favorite vase

and then stapled it back together
and hoped she wouldn't notice?

That was bad.

Do you remember
when you put your pet snake

in Aunt Millie's pajamas
and she ran five miles

without ever getting out of bed?

That was bad, too.

And do you remember when you
stuck your sister's teddy bear

in the food processor and told her

it got chewed up by a giant
bear-eating lizard?

And she believed it?

That was really bad.

The Bible calls
the bad things we do "sin."

And when we "sin,"
we need to be forgiven.

That's right.

So I know what you're thinking,
"jeepers, I've been bad.

"How do I get forgiven?”

Am I right?

Well, moms, dads
and kids of all ages,

have I got the thing for you.

The new wrongco forgive-o-matic!

Yes, sir, the new wrongco
forgive-o-matic

slices, dices and purees
your sins away.

It's as easy as this:

just dial up your sin here,
press this button,

and bingo, God forgives
you of your sin.

But wait, there's more.

Order now, you'll also receive
a set of Jinsu Il steak knives,

the strongest knives on earth.

Just listen to this:

Hi, I'm a miner from West Virginia.

In the last three weeks,

we dug two miles
through solid granite.

All with one Jinsu Il steak knife
and it's still going strong.

That's right.

You get the forgive-o-matic
and the steak knives

all for one low price
of just $19.95.

You've never seen a deal
like this before.

Isn't that right?

That's right.

So don't delay, order today.

Operators are standing by.

Remember, you get
the forgive-o-matic

and the steak knives,
all for just $19.95.

[clears throat]

Not now, kid,
can't you see I'm busy?

But I know lots of people
who've been forgiven

for bad things they've done.

Oh, yeah?

Well, they must have
forgive-o-matics then, huh?

Nope.

Well, sure.

You can't be forgiven
without a forgive-o-matic.

Isn't that right?

Stop yanking me up and down,
I'm getting sick.

The Bible says if we ask God
to forgive us, then he will.

You mean,
all you have to do is ask?

Yep.

You don't need a forgive-o-matic?

Nope.

Are you sure about this?

I sure am.

Well, did I mention they
also make great julienne fries.

Just drop a potato in here,
push a button and presto.

Out come the best fries
you've ever tasted.

Oh, look,
it's time to go.

But wait, there's more.

Just spread these seeds on here
and in a few weeks...

Chia forgive-o-matic.

Isn't that cute?

Say "good night,” Gracie.

Good night, Gracie.

Do you remember when we
learned about forgiveness?

Oh, my goodness.

How could I forget?

Well, do you think the kids at home
would like to hear about it?

Oh, most definitely.

You would, wouldn't you?

What'd they say?

Um, I don't know.

I think they said, "yes."

Okay, great.

Well, should I tell them
or should you?

Oh, go ahead.

All right.

Well, it all happened one summer

while Larry and I were running
a tour boat service.

Yeah, you see, we had this boat
and we take some people

and we put them on the boat

and then we give them rides
way out on the ocean.

You see?

Ahem.

Sorry.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

As Larry said,

we had a boat and we would
give people rides on the ocean.

But I remember that day,
that fateful trip.

[Larry] Why, yes.

it started from that tropic port
aboard our tiny ship.

[Bob] Now, Larry,
he was a mighty sailor man.

[Larry] And Bob
he was brave and sure.

[Bob] And weren't there five
passengers we booked that day

on our 3-hour tour?

[Larry] Ah, yes, our 3-hour tour.

[Bob] Okay, let's see,
there was the professor.

[Larry] And we were there.

[Bob] Well, yeah.

And the millionaire.

[Larry] And his wife.

[Bob] Mm-hmm.

And wasn't there a movie star
and that other girl?

[Larry] Yeah, but they cancelled.

[Bob] Oh, oh,yeah.

Well, anyway,
there we were on our 3-hour tour

doing our best
to entertain the passengers.

.] Some veggies went
to sea, sea, sea.


see, see, see, ♪


could see, see, see


sea, sea, sea. .

See?

Yes, well, that was just dandy.

But isn't it time we left the dock?

Heh-heh-heh, okay,
fire up the engine first mate, Larry.

Aye-aye, skipper.

Lovely day, isn't it?

Oh, yes.
Why, just smell that salt air.

[sniff]
Ah... mighty nice.

I think I'll go back and see
how our passengers are doing.

[Bob] Can you take over here?

No, problemo, Skipper.

It's a big responsibility,
you won't daydream, will you?

[Larry] Don't worry about a thing,
I've got you covered.

Okay.
Thanks, Larry.

Oh, boy, this is the life.

There's nothing I'd rather be
than first mate Larry.

Well, nothing, that is, except...

[Russian accent]
Captain Larry Romanov,

the famous Russian
ice-breaker pilot.

Today, Captain Larry
must free whales.

Two great whales trapped in ice.

But there is problem!

A large iceberg stands between
Captain Larry and whales.

There may not be enough time
to go around it!

But surely even captain Larry
is not brave enough

to smash through the iceberg!

No one has ever
done such a thing!

Yes, this is no time for cowards.

Captain Larry will smash
the iceberg and free the whales.

Commander Boblov has come
to congratulate captain Larry

for his bravery.

Hey, Larry, we're making
snow cones back there.

Do you want peach or strawberry?

Um, not now, Bob.

First I have to smash through this
iceberg and free some whales.

There are no icebergs
around here.

Oh, yeah?
Well, what do you call that?

Ahhhhhh!!!!

Oh! The brochure didn't say
anything about layovers.

Well, you see, Lovey.

I believe we've had
some sort of an accident.

Skipper?

Yes, we most certainly
had an accident

and I think someone
has some explaining to do.

Well, you see,
there were these whales

and they were stuck in the ice

and well, the only way
to get them out

was to smash right through
that iceberg over there.

Except it turned out
to be a rock.

And rocks are a lot
harder than icebergs.

It just so happens
that the nearest iceberg

is 2,640 miles away.

What were you thinking?

You smashed our boat!

Now what are we going to do?

You have ruined our vacation.

What do you have to say
for yourself?

Um, I'm sorry?

At least the boat is still floating.

Oh.

Hey, I need to call my broker.

I'm going to look for a phone.

[Bob] That evening
we all worked together

to build some huts to sleep in.

But we were
still pretty mad at Larry.

[hammock sqeaking]

Gee, it's kind of nice out here.
Maybe this isn't so bad after all.

Huh, Bob?

Not so bad?

What do you mean "not so bad?”

Our boat is at the bottom
of the ocean

and we're stuck on this island
in the middle of nowhere

with no way to get home.

I said I was sorry.

At least you could forgive me.

Well, it's just that we're --

well, can't you see we're --

I just...l just...can't.

Oh.

I said I was sorry.

Well, that's just not good enough.

Good night.

Not good enough?
Not good enough?

He means...he means...

I'm not good enough.

They all think
I'm not good enough.

I bet they'd be happier
if I just left.

So that's what I'll do.

I'm just gonna...

I'm going to take my things
and just go away.

Yeah.

I don't have any things.

Well, I'll just go...

just with my hat.

Good-bye, Bob.

I hope you find a first mate
that's good enough.

I wonder where
the Skipper is.

Who?

You know, dear,
the bright red, round fellow.

Oh, yes.

Where is he anyway?

I don't know.

That's what I was wondering.

Oh, I see.

[Bob] Has anyone seen Larry?

Did you say something?

No, it was that tree
over there.

Really?
Well, what did it say?

I believe,
it's looking for Larry?

Who's Larry?

Oh, you remember.

He's the chap
who smashed the boat.

Oh, and ruined
our vacation?

That's the one.

Oh.

Well, I hope that tree gets him,
serves him right.

Here, here.

Hello, people, have you seen Larry?

Oh, look, Lovey.
It's the skipper.

I didn't know tomatoes
grew on trees.

Well, actually...
oh, never mind.

Skipper, what are you
doing up there?

I'm looking for Larry.

When I woke up
this morning, he was gone.

I've got it!

Got what?

Our ticket outta here.

We can build a giant catapult
to fling us back home.

Here, I'll demonstrate
with this working model.

You wind it up,
then someone sits here,

say, Bob, for example,
now just pull this cord and...

Doing! Bonk! Crash!

[Lovey] Our house!

[Bob] Ow.

Oh, dear!

Look what you've done
to our house!

You bonked me
on the head with a coconut!

Wow, I did not
mean to do that.

I am so sorry.

Can you ever forgive me?

Well, I guess
it was an accident

and you did say you were sorry,
so I forgive you.

Thanks.

I'm really sorry
about your house.

I'd be glad to help you
fix it if you want me to.

Do you think you
could forgive me?

We know you didn't
mean to do it so...

so we'll forgive you.

Oh, thanks.

Gee, it sure does feel good
to be forgiven

when you make mistakes.

Yes, sir.

Boy, if I said I was sorry
for doing something wrong

and really meant it and people
still wouldn't forgive me,

I'd feel just terrible.

Oh, yeah, definitely.

Well, Larry said he was
sorry for smashing the boat.

And that was just
an accident, too.

Just like when I hit you
with that coconut

or when you
fell through their roof.

And we wouldn't
forgive Larry at all.

So that's why he went away.

He must feel terrible.

We've got to find him.

Come on, everybody.

I think he's over here maybe.

Larry! Larry!

Hey, little buddy! Larry!

Larree-ey!

Larry, Larry, Larry,
Larry, Larry!

Hey, little buddy!
Come back.

We have something
to say to you.

[muffled yelling]

What?

I said "you guys don't
like me anymore,

so I'm just gonna leave.”

We do like you, Larry.

Yes, and we forgive you
for smashing the boat.

You do?

Well, we realized that everybody
makes mistakes sometimes

and it was wrong for us
not to forgive you

when you said you were sorry.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Can you forgive us
for not forgiving you?

Um, okay.

I forgive you guys.

Phew! Oh, good.

Hello?

Did you
say something?

No, it was that
tree again.

I'm so happy to see
you've forgiven each other.

It makes me want to sing.

Do you mind?

No.
