Transcript[]
Countertop Intro[]
Bob: Hi, kids, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato.
Larry: And I'm Larry the Cucumber. And we're here to answer your questions.
Bob: That's right. [He and Larry look around and think] So... who's got a question?
Larry: (very excitedly) Oh, hey! I just remembered! I got an e-mail from a kid named Ezzio Vietti in Hackensack, New Jersey.
Bob: You got a what?
Larry: You know, Bob, e-mail. Aren't you wired, online, (sways his hips) surfing the web? HTML, good buddy.
Bob: Oh. I got cable last month.
Larry: You are so early '90s. [Bob becomes offended] Anyway, Ezzio said he just did something that he knew he wasn't supposed to do. Now his friends are telling him to lie about it so he won't get in trouble. (Turns to Bob) What should he do?
Bob: Ooooh! A lie can be a very dangerous thing. (Looks away) Do we have any stories about that?
Larry: (psyched) Bob, I'm all over it.
Bob: Huh? [at this point, Bob is confused and shocked at Larry being in charge]
Larry: The same thing happened to Junior Asparagus once!
Bob: It did? I don't remember...
Larry: (interrupts Bob) Ezzio, grab your popcorn, turn down the lights, & get ready for... "Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space!" Roll film! (Runs out of scene leaving Bob behind)
Bob: Huh? Larry! (The lights of the countertop shut off leaving Bob in the dark both figuratively and literally)
"Larry-Boy! and the Fib From Outer Space!"[]
(The story, which is set in the city of Bumblyburg, begins with the Peas, Percy and Li'l Pea, leaving the movie theatre, as well a few other people like Pa Grape and the Peach leaving)
Li'l Pea: Oh, that was a great movie!
Percy: Oh it sure was. I especially liked the part where the space aliens sucked all those cows up into their spaceship and then switched brains with the cows so they could come back to earth and infiltrate our society unnoticed.
Li'l Pea: Uh, yeah, well that was... That was great.
[Percy looks up in the sky and finds a falling object]
Percy: What do you suppose that is?
(the camera cuts to the falling object and then to the Bumblyburg science lab)
Jimmy: I'm bored, Jerry. B-O-R-D, bored. Why did we want to work at the Bumblyburg science lab? Cause we wanted to see space aliens. And what have we seen in two long years? Huh? Nothing! Nothing, N-U-T-... Well, you know, nothing.
[camera cuts to Jerry Gourd wearing Spock ears looking at a satellite image of the falling object]
Jerry: Jimmy?
Jimmy: "Watch the screen," they said, "keep your eyes on the screen." So we watched the screen for two years and what have we seen? Nothing!
Jerry: Jimmy?
(The alarm goes off as a red light flashes.)
Jimmy: And then there's the light. "If this light ever flashes, something from space is about to hit Bumblyburg. Alert Larry-Boy immediately!"
Jerry: Jimmy! (starts to tremble)
Jimmy: Like that'll ever happen, I'm telling you, Jerry, this is the most boring job on Earth. (Jerry silently gulps, then Jimmy stands next to him) Maybe we can get our old jobs back at Mr. Slushy. What? [Looks at the satellite image and starts to tremble as well and he and Jerry look at the button for the Larry-Signal]
(The camera cuts to a building top with the Larry-signal as it activates. Then the camera cuts to a mansion. Alfred (played by Archibald) notices the Larry-Signal and runs outside and tells Larry-Boy about the situation)
Alfred: Ah. Uh, master Larry, excuse me, master Larry.
Larry-Boy: Yes, Alfred? (turns and accidentally hits Alfred with his plunger and looks at the signal in the sky) No time now, Alfred. Duty calls! (Larry-Boy leaves to get in his car with Alfred on the ground)
Alfred: I've fallen and I can't get up.
Choir: (singing) Aah, aah, aah, aah, Larry-Boy!
[the camera cuts to a dead-end road which happens to be the entrance the Larry-cave, the Larry-Mobile roars out of the garage and the title "Larry-Boy! & the Fib from Outer Space!" comes up. The falling object lands in a nearby neighborhood and the object turns out to be a little blue creature the size of a tennis ball covered in spots and an antennae. The dark night sky fades to day and the camera turns to the house of Junior Asparagus]
Laura Carrot: The tea party is almost ready. We just need one more plate for Mr. Snuggly.
(camera cuts to the living room where we see Junior, Laura and Junior's teddy bear: Mr. Snuggly)
Lightning McQueen: Hi guys!
Junior: Hi, Lightning McQueen!
Lightning McQueen: What's up?
Junior: We're trying to find another plate.
Sally Carrear: What for?
Laura: For our tea party.
Junior: Hmm. Another plate? I know just where to get one.
Laura: Where?
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, where, dude?
Junior: Up there.
[Laura and the others looks up at the bookshelf behind her to find a valuable bowling plate]
Laura: Um, that looks like a very special plate. Maybe we could find another one.
Junior: Oh, it is a special plate. My dad says, "That's Art Bigotti, the greatest roller that ever rolled a ball. Only 200 plates made, and it's collectible!"
Sally Carrear: I’m not so sure that’s a good idea, Junior. That plate looks fragile.
Laura: Sally’s right. Let's just find another plate.
Junior: Mr. Snuggly is a very special bear. He deserves a special plate. I'm sure my dad won't mind.
(Leans back and the shelf where the bowling plate is on begins to tilt forward but he pushes it back and the plate is hit by some books and falls off the shelf and breaks into pizza-shaped pieces. Junior looks down in shock.)
Lightning McQueen: Uh-oh…
Laura: Oh, I just remembered. I was supposed to wash my, uh... I have to take out the, uh... I gotta go. (Runs out of the house leaving Junior worried about what he could do about his accident. As Junior looks at the broken plate, he hears a voice and looks around.)
Sally Carrera: What are you gonna do now, Junior? Your father will be home in a few minutes!
Luigi: Yeah, he’s not gonna be happy about this at all!
Lightning McQueen: And if he sees this, you’ll be in big trouble for sure!
Male: Psst! Hey, kid, looks like you got a problem.
Junior: Huh? Who said that?
Mater: I didn't say anything!
Luigi: Me neither!
Male: If you're interested, I think I can help.
Junior: (looks at Mr. Snuggly) Mr. Snuggly? You can talk?
Mr. Snuggly (voice): Well, I've never been called Mr. Snuggly before, but of course I can talk. (turns out to be the creature we saw earlier) Actually, the name is Fibrilious Minimus. But you can call me Fib. (he winks)
Junior: You must be new to the neighborhood.
Fib: You can say that. But more importantly, I'm here to help you out. I couldn't help but notice you broke the plate.
Junior: Yeah, I...
Fib: And I imagine your father's not gonna be thrilled.
Junior: (nervously) Well yeah...
Fib: Now listen closely, what you need is a story.
Junior: You mean like a bedtime story?
Fib: No, no, no, no. Now try to keep up here, kid, you need to make up a story about how somebody else broke the plate.
Junior: (shocked) You mean you want me to lie?!
Fib: Oh, no, no, no, not a lie. What we are talking about here is just a little fib. People do it all the time, trust me. A little fib couldn't hurt anybody.
Mater: No, Junior, please don't trust that alien.
Lightning McQueen: I'm getting suspicious about him. He’s trying to trick us.
(a door opens)
Dad Asparagus: I'm home!
Lightning McQueen: Oh no! He's here!
(door closes)
Fib: Now it's up to you, kid. Break a leg. (hides behind a chair leg)
(Junior watches his dad come in)
Dad Asparagus: Hi, Junior. How was your day today? (Looks at Junior, who doesn't respond, just looking sheepish, then looks at his plate on the ground)
Dad Asparagus: My plate! My Art Bigotti limited edition collector's plate! What happened to it?
(Junior looks at Fib, who tells Junior to pay attention)
Junior: Well...
(Music plays and Junior begins to sing)
Junior: It's Laura's fault. She broke the plate, I tried to stop her.
(Fib gets surprisingly happy)
Junior: She said she had to demonstrate her apple chopper. The apple chopper worked just great but chopped right through your bowling plate. It's Laura's fault, she broke the plate, it's true and that's the tale I have tell to you.
Dad Asparagus: Oh... My. Well if that's what you say happened, well, I trust you, Junior. But I'm very surprised at Laura. I'm gonna have to call her father right away. (Leaves)
[Fib hops out and appears to be a little bigger, but not a whole lot]
Fib: You did it! Good work, kid.
Junior: Huh? Have you grown?
Fib: Oh, no, no. I've always been this size, but you. You were magnificent!
Junior: I don't know. What about Laura?
Fib: Oh, she'll be fine. Remember, a little fib couldn't hurt anybody. And besides, it's over, you're free!
Junior: You're right. I don't have to worry about that plate anymore. I'm free!
Fib: You betcha!
Junior: I feel great. You were right. A little fib can't hurt anybody.
Fib: Ha hahaha! That's my boy. (He and Junior leave the house to go out into town) Come on, kid, let's go have some more fun.
Lightning: Oh man, this is bad!
Mater: Fib tricked Junior into telling a lie, and now Laura's gonna be in hot water.
Sally: I wonder what Larry-Boy's been up to.
Lightning: I’m not sure, Sally, but we should find him and let him know about the alien.
Mater: Yeah, Junior has to tell the truth.
[cut to black; then cut to the inside of the Larry-Mobile as Alfred calls in Larry-Boy]
Alfred: Larry-Boy! Hello, master Larry. Can you hear me?
Larry-Boy: Loud and clear, Alfred. Go ahead.
Alfred: Yes, have you located the fallen object?
Larry-Boy: I'm afraid not. The Larry-mobile and I have been all over Bumblyburg and we haven't seen anything that looks like it came from outer space.
Alfred: Nothing at all?
Larry-Boy: Well, we did see a kid with green hair. Oh! And a dog that could whistle. (during his dialogue, the Larry-mobile drives through downtown and passes two scallions, The Peach, the Blue Wind-Up Lobster, and Frankencelery)
Alfred: Oh. All right, well, keep looking, master Larry. Remember, the security of Bumblyburg rests in your, uh... plungers. (smiles)
Larry-Boy: Have no fear, Alfred. If there's a space alien in this town, Larry-Boy will bring 'em in.
Choir: (singing) Larry-Boy!
Larry-Boy: (Passes by Junior and Fib. He opens his window to say hello and apparently doesn't recognize Fib and drives off) Hello, boys.
Lightning McQueen: Larry-Boy!
(The Larry-Mobile stopped and LarryBoy noticed the gang. He opens his window.)
Larry-Boy: Guys? What are you doing on the sidewalk?
Mater: We came looking for you! We are trying to find that space alien.
Larry-Boy: You wanna hop in and look for it together?
Mater: Sure, why not?
(The gang hops into the LarryMobile and drives off)
Percy: Hey, Junior! (Hops to talk to Junior)
Fib: Uh, I'll be right back. (Hops off into an alleyway)
Junior: Hi, Percy.
Percy: Junior, I just came from Laura's house and she got in trouble for breaking your dad's bowling plate. Except she said she didn't break it, she said you did. Who's telling the truth?
[Junior gets nervous and starts to think]
Junior: Oh... Well... Actually... She's right.
Percy: Huh?
Junior: Laura didn't break the plate. It was... It was... Lenny.
Percy: Her brother?
Junior: Yep, that's right. Lenny broke the plate. I'll tell you the whole story.
(music kicks in and Junior begins to sing again)
Junior: It's Lenny's fault, he broke the plate, he's very naughty. Just how was I to know he hated Art Bigotti? He gave it to a crocodile who chewed it up for quite a while. It's Lenny's fault, he broke the plate, it's true and that's the tale I have to tell to you.
Percy: Whoa. Gee, I didn't think Lenny was capable of that kind of violence. He seemed like such a nice kid. I didn't even know he had a crocodile. (Hops away)
Junior: This is great! It worked again, Fib! Fib? You are growing!
[camera turns to Fib who has grown taller and now has feet]
Fib: Growing? Oh, no, no. (looks down) Well, maybe I put on a few pounds, but Junior, I will always be your little fib.
Junior: (Looks down at Fib's feet) You've got legs.
Fib: Yes, I do. But, enough about me. Junior, you were marvelous. What a story. I'm telling you, kid, you've got the gift.
Junior: Really?
Fib: Oh yeah. No doubt about it. You've got what it takes.
[Larry-Boy passes by Junior and Fib again and calls in Alfred]
Alfred: What do you mean you can't find it?
Larry-Boy: I'm telling you, Alfred, I've looked everywhere. It's just not here.
(cuts to Alfred in the Larry-Cave)
Alfred: Master Larry, I've gone over all the data from the science lab and I have to agree with their conclusions. Something from outer space landed in Bumblyburg, it simply has to be around there somewhere.
Larry-Boy: Look. Alfred. I've been driving around all day. I'm tired, I'm hungry, I've got to go to the bathroom. This suit is very constricting, I'm coming home now.
Alfred: But, the security of Bumblyburg rests in your...!
Larry-Boy: (shuts off communications with Alfred) There are no space aliens in Bumblyburg.
Mater: (stomach growing) Man, I'm getting hungry. Can we go to the Bumblyburg Diner?
Larry-Boy: Sure! I bet there is something good for us to eat. (Passes by Junior and Fib again as Percy, Laura and Lenny come to confront Junior)
Laura: There he is!
Junior: Hi, guys.
Fib: (runs into a nearby alleyway) Uh, if you need me I'll be over here.
Junior: Huh?
(Laura, Lenny and Percy argue about Junior's lies in unison)
Lenny: What do you mean I broke the plate? I wasn't even at your house!
Percy: Lenny says he didn't break the plate. Laura says she didn't break the plate.
Laura: Lies! Lies!
Percy: It's a great, big, ugly lie!
Lenny: It's a lie, Junior!
Junior: No, no, that's not what I said at all. (to Lenny) You didn't break the plate, (to Laura) and you didn't break the plate! No. It was these space aliens. They came down, and they grabbed these cows. And they switched brains with the cows. And the cows... with the brains of the space aliens... broke... the plate! (Looks at his friends)
Percy: Funny. I've just seen that same thing happen in a movie. "Invasion of the Cow Snatchers!"
Junior: You did?
Percy: It's another lie! (a sound of thunderous footsteps emerge while Percy talks) Nothing but a big... fat... ugly....
[everyone looks up]
Junior: Huh? (he turns around and looks up himself) F-F-Fib?!
[we see Fib at about 50 feet tall and has arms and clutches]
Fib: Hi, Junior. (Grabs him and picks him up)
Junior: What are you doing?!
Fib: Don't worry, Junior. A little fib couldn't hurt anybody, right? Haha haha! (his foot crushes a VW Beetle taxicab)
Junior: Help! It's got me! I can't get free!
[Fib goes on a rampage with the citizens running for their lives. He starts by vandalizing an ice cream parlor and laughs maniacally. Laura, Lenny, and Percy hide behind a building trembling. Fib goes to the movie theater and defaces a display for "Invasion of the Cow Snatchers"]
Scooter: (Watches the destroyed display go down the street and looks at where it came from. He's inside a police car which plays the song I Can Be Your Friend.) Great Scott! (He sees Fib vandalizing a fast food restaurant.) It's a monster! And it's got the wee lad in its clutches! This is a job for Larry-Boy! (Fib finds him and walks over to step on his police car) (calling in the station) Larry-Boy! We need Larry-Boy! Call him, beep him, I don't care how you get him, just get him fast! I'll call you right back. (He runs out screaming and Fib crushes his police car) Oh, the inhumanity. Larry-Boy! Where could he be?!
[The camera cuts to Larry, who is out of his Larry-Boy costume now in his robe, playing a game of Candy Land with Alfred and his friends in the house]
Larry: I'm still stuck in the molasses swamp. I've been here for 38 turns. Your turn, Alfred.
Alfred: Yes, let's see. (Alfred pulls a card) (excitedly) Oh, look! I get to go all the way to Princess Lolly! What luck! Ha! Your turn.
Larry: (picks a card) Still stuck. I sure hope the rest of Bumblyburg is having a better day than I am. (He turns his card out to look out the window to see the Larry-Signal blinking and the city in disarray with the crowd screaming and sirens blaring. He and Alfred get up)
Larry: Alfred. I've got work to do. Consider our game... postponed. (Alfred looks at the camera nervously)
Choir: (singing) Aah, aah, aah, aah, Larry-Boy!
(camera cuts back to the city where Fib crushes another car and is about to crush a Volkswagen van but is stopped by Junior)
Junior: Fib! Why are you doing this to me? I thought you were my friend!
Fib: That's the thing about fibs, Junior, we grow. Now that I'm big, it's my turn to call the shots. And you belong to me.
Larry-Boy: (off-screen) Not so fast, monster! (Junior looks at the source of the voice.)
Fib: Huh?
(Fib turns his head to see Larry-Boy back in his costume and his car)
Choir: (singing) Larry-Boy!
(camera cuts to Percy, Laura and Lenny hiding)
Percy: If anyone can stop that fib, Larry-Boy can. (Lenny nods)
(camera cuts back to Larry-Boy)
Larry-Boy: Drop the asparagus!
Fib: Why won't you come and make me, little purple man?
Larry-Boy: If that's the way it's gonna be!
Choir: (singing) Larry-Boy, Larry-Boy.
(Larry-Boy gets back into his car and closes the canopy)
(Fib looks around and finds the water tower and walks towards there with Junior)
Alfred: (communications) Larry, what's happening?
Larry-Boy: The monster is heading towards the Bumblyburg water tower. He is carrying a small asparagus. Alfred, we must find a way to stop this beast!
Alfred: (at the Larry-cave on the computer) Yes, I'll get the computer working on it right away! Can you get to the water tower?
(Larry-Boy looks towards the water tower. The tower is sitting on a barricade in the intersection.)
Larry-Boy: The road is blocked. I'm afraid I'll have to go on foot.
Alfred: Well, I've made a few modifications to the Larry-mobile that might just do the trick.
Larry-Boy: You have?
Alfred: Well, you know, I like to tinker in my spare time.
(Larry-Boy looks down at the control panel)
Larry-Boy: Is that what all these new buttons are for?
Alfred: That's right. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to label them.
Larry-Boy: Oh, dear.
Alfred: But if you do exactly as I say, everything should work out fine. I think.
(Larry-Boy looks at the camera with a confused face. Cut to Fib who looks up at the water tower)
Fib: Let's see if your little purple friend can help you up here. Haha haha! (Junior looks on nervously)
(Camera cuts to the Larry-mobile idling. Camera cuts to Laura, Lenny and Percy who are still hiding and looking at the car.)
Lenny: What's he doing?
Laura: I don't know. Maybe he fell asleep.
Percy: Well, somebody should go wake him up!
(The Larry-mobile's engine revs up and it rockets down the road to the water tower)
Alfred: Now once you get up to speed all you have to do is press the green button. Uh, no, no, the blue button.
Larry-Boy: Alfred! I'm going to run out of road! Which button is it?!
Alfred: The blue button! Press the blue button!
(Larry-Boy presses the blue button and wipers pop out)
Larry-Boy: Wipers!
Alfred: (stressed out) The green button! Hit the green one!
(Larry-Boy hits it and the horn sounds off as the car zooms by. Cut to Percy and Laura)
Laura: He's honking.
Percy: It's part of the plan. (Laura looks at Percy)
(camera goes back to the speeding Larry-mobile about to hit the water tower)
Larry-Boy: (yelling) I am going to die!!!
Alfred: Stop yelling at me!!! No yelling! Yell, yell!! Yellow!!
(Larry-Boy presses the yellow button and the Larry-mobile turns into the Larry-plane with the wheels popping off and wings popping out. The plane lifts up and steers left before it hits the water tower.)
Choir: (singing) Aah, aah, aah, aah, Larry-Boy!
(camera cuts to Scooter looking into the sky)
Scooter: What in the name of Fergus McDonaldson...?
(camera cuts to Fib who looks at the Larry-Plane. Cut to the interior of the Larry-Plane)
Larry-Boy: So this is what you do in your spare time.
Alfred: Well, not all of it. I also dabble in biochemistry, nuclear medicine. You know, this and that.
Larry-Boy: So how do we stop this thing?
Alfred: Oh. Yes. That. Let's see here. Ah! We know what the monster is now.
Larry-Boy: What is it?
Alfred: It's a lie.
Larry-Boy: What's a lie?
Alfred: It is.
Larry-Boy: Which part?
Alfred: The whole thing. It's a lie. The monster is a lie!
Larry-Boy: Oh my! Well, how do I stop it?
Alfred: Um... I'm afraid we don't know that yet.
Larry-Boy: Drat.
(Cuts back at the water tower. A crowd gathers around the tower. Mom and Dad Asparagus walk up to Scooter.)
Scooter: Oh, I don't think you should look, ma'am. It's not a pretty sight! (they look up)
Junior: Mom! Dad! Help!
(Mom and Dad and Scooter are shocked. Dad faints.)
(Cuts back to the plane)
Larry-Boy: Alfred, what kind of weapon systems do we have?
Alfred: Oh, I've thought of all sorts of wonderful little ideas! Unfortunately, I haven't had time to make them yet.
Larry-Boy: What?
Alfred: Perhaps I've spent a little too much time on nuclear medicine.
Larry-Boy: Well, there's only one thing left to do!
Alfred: What? What are you doing?
Larry-Boy: What I should have done all along! Super-suction ears away!
(Larry-Boy springs out of the plane and flies downwards towards the top of the Fib's head. Fib watches the plane zoom by, then he hears Larry-Boy.)
Larry-Boy: (Kamikaze mode) Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!!
(The fib catches Larry-Boy in his hand and squeezes him until one of his super-suction ears pop out. The plunger lands in front of officer Scooter, Mom and Dad Asparagus, who faints again.)
Larry-Boy: Alfred?
Alfred: Yes Larry! How is it going?
Larry-Boy: I think now would be a good time for you to tell me how I can stop this lie.
Alfred: Yes, yes, yes! Here comes the answer now! Um, according to my calculations, you can do... nothing.
Larry-Boy: Nothing?
Alfred: Yes, nothing.
(Moments of silence)
Larry-Boy: (irritated) Why didn't you tell me that before I jumped on his head?!
Alfred: (embarrassed) Well, my calculations were not yet finished. (as Larry-Boy just sits there, he hears the Fib talking)
Fib: (To Junior) Even a little lie can get really big, really fast, and a big lie can just swallow you up, and Junior, you've made a really big lie! Haha haha!
(Scooter, Mom and Dad Asparagus look up as Fib laughs evilly)
Alfred: Larry-Boy, can you hear me? I've made a discovery.
Larry-Boy: What?
Alfred: You cannot stop the lie.
Larry-Boy: Alfred, we've been over this.
Alfred: No, no, listen! You cannot stop the lie, but someone else can.
Larry-Boy: What? Who?
Alfred: I don't know yet. The computer's working on it right now.
(Fib starts to examine Larry-Boy and Junior)
Fib: Now, which one of you guys should I eat first?
Larry-Boy: Alfred, we have no time!!
Alfred: (looks around like crazy) It's thinking!
(Fib holds Larry-Boy upside down to examine.)
Fib: Hmm... you sorta look like candy.
(Fib begins to slowly put Larry-Boy in his mouth)
Larry-Boy: No, really, it's spandex. It's quite bitter. ALFRED!
Alfred: I'm getting a reading!
Larry-Boy: Alfred!
Alfred: It looks like... it looks like...
(Alfred accidentally unplugs his computer)
Alfred: AAAAAAAAH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
(Larry-Boy gets closer to the Fib's mouth every second)
Larry-Boy: (panicking) Alfred! What's happening?!
Alfred: AAAAAAAAAAH!!!
(Alfred looks at the computer plug and plugs the computer back in. The computer screen boots up)
Alfred: (screaming) Boot, you transistorized tormentor, BOOT!!!
(Fib places Larry-Boy in his mouth. Larry-Boy closes his eyes in anguish.)
Larry-Boy: Goodbye, Bumblyburg!!
(Alfred discovers Junior on his computer. Meanwhile, Junior tries to shield his eyes from seeing his beloved hero being eaten.)
Alfred: It's Junior! (Junior opens his eyes wide open and overhears Alfred's voice) It's Junior! Junior can stop the lie!!!
(As Fib chews on Larry-Boy, Junior tells the truth)
Junior: I DID IT!!
Crowd: (Gasps)?!
Fib: Hmm?
Junior: I broke the plate!
(Fib spits out Larry-Boy, then Larry-Boy looks up)
Junior: I said Laura broke the plate and that was a lie! I said Lenny broke the plate and that was a lie too!
(As Junior tells the truth, the fib shrinks)
Junior: It was me. I'm the one who did it. It was all my fault.
(Fib finally kicks the bucket by vanishing from existence and Junior is free. He lands next to Larry-Boy as the crowd smiles in relief)
Junior: Now, how do I get down from here?
Larry-Boy: There's a problem I know I can handle.
(Junior comes down to his dad, with Larry-Boy's plunger holding him)
Junior: Dad, I'm really sorry about your plate.
Dad Asparagus: Oh, Junior. I'm sure it was an accident. I just wish you would have told me right away.
Junior: I thought you'd be really mad at me.
Dad Asparagus: Junior, you're much more important to me than any old bowling plate.
Junior: I guess I should be punished. Huh?
Mom Asparagus: I think what you've been through today was punishment enough. What do you think, Dad?
Dad Asparagus: I think you're right. Let's just make sure that from now on we get the true story, the first time. (they gather together for a group hug)
Scooter: Oh! Doesn't it just warm your heart? And it's all because of one man, one plunger-headed hero always ready when Bumblyburg needs him- (He looks, but Larry-Boy is nowhere to be seen) Larry-Boy? (the crowd looks around for him) There he goes again. (Everyone then leaves)
(Cut back to Larry-Boy where, in an homage to Tim Burton's Batman, he watches the Larry-signal. Elsewhere in the city, another fib has fallen in another neighborhood looking for someone to help him grow.....)
Counter-top Outro[]
Bob: Wow, that was really something! You did a great job, Larry... Boy.
Larry-Boy: Thank you, Bob. Um, we need to hurry this along. I have a meeting with the action figure people in ten minutes.
Bob: Action figures?
Larry-Boy: Yes Bob. Larry-Boy mania is sweeping the nation. If you're not on board, you're gonna miss the train.
Bob: I, uh, I had no idea.
Larry-Boy: Now you do.
Bob: Yes, well... we're over here by Qwerty to talk about what we learned today.
Singers: And so what we have learned applies to our lives today and God has a lot to say in His book.
(Bob tries to stop the song, but Larry-Boy uses one of his plunger ears to drag him back to Qwerty)
Larry-Boy: I like that song. Let it play.
Singers: You see, we know that God's word is for everyone and now that our song is done, we'll take a look.
(as the final verse of the song plays, Bob tries to say something, but he just gives up. Larry-Boy then lets go of Bob as the song ends)
Bob: Well, Junior thought the best way to get out of trouble was by telling a lie.
Larry-Boy: Yep, but to cover up for the first lie, he had to tell more & more lies until finally, he was trapped... a slave to his lies.
Bob: That's right. He thought a lie would set him free. But in the end, the only way for him to get free was by telling the truth. Let's see if Qwerty has a verse for us.
(Qwerty moves his head around a bit and shows a Bible verse from John 8:32b)
Bob: "The truth will set you free." John 8:32b. You see, Ezzio, the only way for us to really be free is by doing what God wants us to do, & God wants us to always tell the truth. I'm not saying that you won't get punished for what you did, but as Junior learned, facing your parents can be a lot less painful than getting stuck in a big lie!
Larry-Boy: Oh, is that right. Well, we gotta clear the stage now, Bob. It's time for the world premiere of my new music video.
Bob: You're what? You're joking, right? (he looks at the music video text next to him) He's not joking. (He leaves the countertop) Larry, we've gotta talk!
(The Larry-Boy music video plays)
