The Veggie and Character Gang's Adventures of Josh and the Big Wall! (Remastasterd)/Transcript

Transcript[]

Opening Countertop[]

(We see Bob The Tomato with Junior Asparagus in place of Larry )

Bob: Hi kids, and welcome to VeggieTales! I'm Bob the Tomato.
Junior: And I'm Junior Asparagus!
Bob: And we're here to answer your questions.
Junior: Yep, that's right!
Bob: (Regarding the reason why Junior is here rather than Larry) I bet you're wondering where Larry is.

(Junior looks and smiles sheepishly at the camera)

Bob: He was a little tired after the last show, so we decided to let him sleep in today. But don't worry, he'll be here pretty soon. In the meantime, Junior Asparagus has very graciously agreed to help out.
Junior: (to the screen) Hi!
Bob: Now Junior...
Junior: Yes, Bob?
Bob: Today we got a letter from Victor Bartholomew from Sausalito, California.
Junior: Oh. (To the screen) Hi, Victor!
Bob: Victor has a problem. He says there's a kid named Louis in his class who hit him yesterday.
Junior: Oh my!
Bob: "Oh, my" is right! Now in church, Victor just learned that God wants us to be nice to people; even when they're not nice to us. But Victor doesn't really feel like doing that. Deep down inside, he wants to hit Louis back. What should he do? Should he do it his way or should he do it God's way?
Junior: Oh, wow. I know how you feel, Victor. Sometimes the stuff I learn in church doesn't sound like very much fun. Sometimes I feel like doing things my own way, too! Do you suppose we have a story about that?
Bob: Oh, do we! Have I ever told you about the Israelites?
Junior: Hmm, the Israelites... Oh yeah, I remember those guys! Weren't they supposed to be God's chosen people?
Bob: That's what the Bible says.
Junior: Oh, I bet they always followed God's directions.
Bob: Oh, ho, ho. You'd think so, wouldn't you? But sometimes God's directions didn't seem to make sense to them. You see...well... maybe I should just show you.
Junior: Huh?
Bob: Close your eyes, Junior, and don't open them until I say so.
Junior: Alright.

Josh and the Big Wall!: Act I[]

(Bob and Junior then close their eyes as a strong wind blows away all the countertop objects, the tiles and Junior's hat, before the wind transports them to the deserts of Israel. Junior's hat is replaced with a garment similar to what he wore when he portrayed Dave in Dave and the Giant Pickle.)

Bob: Okay!

(Junior opens his eyes)

Junior: What?! How did we get here?!
Bob: We're using our imagination.
Junior: Oh. So these must be the Israelites.
Bob: Yep!

(We see Pa and Tom Grape, Jimmy and Jerry gourd, Scooter Carrot, Percy Pea, The Sensational six (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, and Pluto ) The Magic School Bus gang (Arnold, Carlos, Dorothy Ann, Keesha, Ralphie, Phoebe, Tim, and Wanda.), The Rugrats (Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lill and Susie), Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and The Land Before Time gang (Littlefoot, Cera, Petrie, Ducky and Spike) in the desert.)

Junior: Why are they out here in the middle of nowhere?
Bob: Oh ho, now that is a good question. Have you ever heard of a guy named Moses?
Junior: Hmm, isn't he the one who parted the Red Sea?
Bob: Right again, but we're going to go back a little further. (We are shown a map of northeast Africa and southwest Asia.) The Israelites were living in Egypt, but not because they wanted to, no, the Egyptians had taken them captive and were making them work very hard as their slaves
Junior: Oh dear!
Mr. Lunt: Life stunk big time when we were in Egypt!
Bob: It was miserable!
Carlos: Yes it did!
Bob: Can you not get narrate for me, please?
Carlos: Sorry, won't happen again.
Junior: OK, as you were saying?
Bob: God cared about the Israelites. (Moses (played by Mr. Nezzer) is shown watching and listening to the Burning Bush) So He sent Moses to lead them out of Egypt and into their own land, the Promised Land.
Junior: This is the Promised Land?
Scallion #1: Does this look like any Promised Land to you?!
Cera: Yeah! Does it?! Huh?!
Bob: No, no, no, no. All the land God promised it was wonderful. You could grow things and there was lots of food. No, this is the desert.
Junior: So, why are they here?
Bob: Ah, yes. That is the point. (The map is shown again.) When Moses and the Israelites left Egypt, all they had to do was follow God's directions and go right to the Promised Land. But uh, they didn't always follow God's directions. Sometimes they went their own way instead.
Junior: What do you mean?
Bob: Well for example, Moses led them to the Promised Land right away. (Three peas hop past Moses.) But when some of the Israelites took a look around, they saw people there that looked like giants. (The Israelites see three giant pickles.) That scared them so much, they wouldn't go in. And they got to the land God promised them and then they turned around and ran away.

(Moses watches as the three peas chicken out.)

Junior: Oh, my!
Bob: Now God was very disappointed with the Israelites for not following His directions. So He told them that none of them could go into the Promised Land for 40 years.
Junior: You're kidding me!
Bob: Nope. That's why they're stuck here in the desert.
Junior: Wow.
Arnold: Just feed me to the snakes already!
Scallion #3: (sighs and passes out in the heat)
Bob: By the time forty years had gone by, Moses had died.
Junior: I thought the story was about him.
Bob: No. It's about Joshua.

(Camera switches to Larry as Joshua)

Junior: Joshua. Who's he?
Bob: Well, he was Moses' helper. When Moses died, Joshua became Israel's new leader.
Joshua (Larry the Cucumber): Do I know you?
Bob: I'm the narrator.
Joshua: Oh...
Bob: The Israelites were very sad about Moses dying because he was a great leader. But at last, it was finally time.
Caleb (Tigger): Okay, everybody. Now let's try out the new Promised Land song I wrote. And remember, it's for Joshua. And a-one-a and a-two-a and a-three-a..."

(Promised Land)

Pa: It's time?
Scooter: It's time?
Jimmy: Did he just say it's time?
Goofy: It's time?
Percy: We didn't have a lot of fun in the desert. We didn't have a lot of fun in the sand.
Tom: But saddle up your cow.
Percy: It's all behind us now.
All: Because we're goin' to the Promised Land.
Jimmy: For years I've eaten nothing but manna. A dish that is filling but bland.
Jerry: But now we're on our way.
Pa: I'll have a cheese soufflé.

(During this part of the song, we see the Israelites --now at the Promised Land-- dancing around giant confections such as ice cream, cakes, cupcakes, and birthday cinnamon rolls.)

All: Because we're goin' to the Promised Land. And in the Promised Land, it's gonna be so grand. We'll have our fill from the grill as much as we can stand. It'll be so great. Oh, we can hardly wait, 'cause we're going to the Promised Land.
Scooter: The dining was lousy with Moses But will be feasting with Josh in command!
Jimmy: I'd like a taco please and some pintos and cheese.
All: Because we're goin' to the Promised Land. And in the Promised Land, it's gonna be so grand. We'll have our fill from the grill as much as we can stand. It'll be so great. Oh, we can hardly wait, 'cause we're going to the Promised Land. And in the Promised Land, it's gonna be so grand. We'll have our fill from the grill as much as we can stand. It'll be so great...
Jimmy: With waffles on my plate.

(Suddenly, waffles --with maple syrup-- pile on Jimmy Gourd's plate.)

All: Cause we're goin' to the Promised Land.
Pa: We hear it's flowing
Pooh; With milk and honey.
Jimmy: Sounds sticky!
All: Cause we're goin' to the Promised Land. Yeah we're goin' to the Promised Land. Cause we're goin' to the Promised Land.

(End of song.)

Bob (voiceover): So off they went. After forty years, the Israelites were finally going to their new home. With a big grin, Joshua led his people into the Promised Land. Unfortunately, he overlooked one little detail-- (Joshua bumps into something. Camera zooms out to show that the detail is the walls of a city called...) Jericho.

(Cut to black)

Bob: (voiceover) "Josh and the Big Wall!" will be back after this short break!

Song of the Cebu[]

(The Silly Songs with Larry card fades in. On it, Larry is shown with a projector.)

Announcer: And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Larry the Cucumber presents, in a sequential image, stereophonic, multimedia event, The Song of the Cebu!

(Throughout the song, Larry shows drawings of a boy and three Cebu's along with vacation photographs)

Larry: Ce-bú! This is a song about a boy... a song about a little boy and his cebús...a song about a little boy and his three cebús...The little boy who had...a sick cebú...a sad cebú...and a mute Cebu. And also a hippo. Um... uhh... this is me at the airport. This is my aunt Ruth. This is me at a bullfight. This is me fighting a bull.
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Ooo!
Larry: This is me and the bull.
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Ahh!
Larry: This is me and the bull and... I think that's the bull's cousin. He's a cebú!

(Archibald suddenly comes in)*Archibald: Hold it! You call this a multimedia event? This is a slide projector and a bed sheet! And what on earth is a cebú, anyway?

Larry: It's kind of like a cow. See?
Archibald: Yes. Well, very good. This could be interesting. Carry on!

(Archibald leaves as the song continues.)

Larry: Cebú! Sing it with me! Cebú!
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Cebú!
Larry: Boy is riding with cebú
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Boy is riding with cebú
Larry: Into town in his canoe
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Into town in his canoe
Larry: Sick cebú is rowing & sneezing. Achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo moo moo
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Achoo moo moo,achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo, achoo moo moo moo moo
Larry: Hippo chewing on bamboo
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Hippo chewing on bamboo
Larry: Can't see boy and three cebus
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Can't see boy and three cebus
Larry: Sad cebú is rowing and crying Boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo moo moo
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo moo moo
Larry: Cebú!
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Cebú!
Larry: Cebú!
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Cebú!
All: Achoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, achoo moo moo achoo moo moo, boo-hoo moo moo, cebú!
Larry: Hippo seen by mute cebú
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Hippo seen by mute cebú
Larry: Tries to tell the other two
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Tries to tell the other two
Larry: Mute cebú is waving and grunting Mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

(Something goes wrong.)

Larry: Uh-oh.

(As Larry tries to fix the problem, Archibald comes back and the music dies down.)

Archibald: Wait! What happens next?
Larry: Um ...
Archibald: Does the hippo see them? Is the poor mute cebú successful in communicating the imminent danger to the other passengers? Is the boy injured? Why is the sad cebú sad? Is the canoe wood or aluminum?

(Larry then pulls up more vacation photos, one of which is of a dolphin playing with Bob as if he was a beach ball.)

Larry: Oh look! There's me and Bob at Sea World!
Larry: Oh, wow.
Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Oooh!
Larry: Forgot about that one. There's me and that bull again.
Archibald: You can't just start a song and leave it hanging like that! You know, I've come to expect a lot more from you. This is quite disappointing! I'm going to have to speak to Bob about this.

(a drawing of what looks like a cebu shows up.)*Larry: Oh look, a cebú!

Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: Cebu!

(As the Silly Songs title card reappears, Larry then realizes what the creature really is)*Larry: No, wait ... that's a water buffalo.

Jimmy, Jerry Junior, Goofy, Carlos, Phil, Lil and Littlefoot: No more song about cebú! Need another verse or two! Audience is standing and leaving, Bye-bye moo, bye-bye moo, bye-bye moo, bye-bye moo moo moo moo.
Jimmy: I want my money back!
Jerry: Yeah, that'd be … that'd be good.

Josh and the Big Wall!: Act II[]

Bob: (voiceover) And now back to "Josh and the Big Wall!"

(Camera fades back to the story.)

Phillipe: Did you hear something, Jean-Claude?
Jean-Claude: Mais oui, Phillipe. I think someone has bumped our wall.

(The French Peas look down at the Israelites.)

Caleb: Uhh, Joshua, I think we should go the other way around.
Joshua: Let me handle,,

(He see's Piglet looking up asking the question.)

Piglet: Excuse me, w-w-who are you?
Jean-Claude: Who are we? I think we should ask, who are you?
Joshua: Shhhh! I am Joshua, and these are the children of Israel.
Phillipe: Ooh! Hello, children!
Jimmy: Hi!
Scallion #3: Hello!
Goofy: Hi there!
Minnie Mouse: Hi!
Ducky: Hello!
Bugs Bunny: What's up docs?
Phillipe: We are the guards of Jericho.
Pooh: Hello people of Jericho.
Phillipe: It was nice to see you. NOW GO AWAY!
Jean-Claude: YES!

(Jean-Claude sticks out his tongue and blows raspberry.)

Joshua: Ahem! No, You don't understand! God has given us this land for our new home! So well, YOU'RE gonna have to leave.
Wanda: Yeah! Now get your wall and your nut shaped brains outta of our way or God will use lava, or thunderbolts to destroy you!
Joshua: God won't do stuff like that, Wanda.
Phillipe: Oh, ho ho ho. Did you hear that, Jean Claude? The little pickle and girl say we have to leave.
Joshua: I'm a cucumber.
Wanda: I'm warning you! Our God is powerful! He can use anything he chooses as his sword!
Dorothy Ann: Don't instigate, Wanda.
Wanda: I was only trying to help!
Mickey Mouse: That's not helping! That's being a hype girl!
Jean-Claude: Ha ha! That is hilarious!
Phillipe: Ho, Ho
Jean-Claude: Ha, Ha Ahem! Let me point something out to you, pickle. We have a wall.
Phillipe: Uh-huh.
Jean-Claude: You do not!
Phillipe: No.
Jean-Claude: If anyone is to be doing the leaving, it will be you.
Phillipe: Oh that is right.
Joshua: Now listen to me! Our God said that this land was ours and that all we had to do was follow His directions so... I'm afraid, if you don't come out, WE'RE gonna have to come in there after you!
Buzz-Saw Louie: Yeah! Now surrender you good for nothing peas, or God and us will teach you all a lesson!
Carlos: I'm with the toy!
Pooh: (to Piglet) Did the they have toys back in these times?

(Piglet shrugs)

Carlos: It doesn't matter! Surrender now, or we'll teach you a lesson!
Phillipe: Oh, Ho, Ho. Ho, ho!
Jean-Claude: Ha, Ha, Ha, ha, I'd like to see you try, you could never get over our giant wall, tiny pickle, toy and boy!
Phillipe: Yes, tiny pickle, you are not a mighty dill, you are just a baby gherkin!
Joshua: (annoyed) I'm a cucumber.
Donald Duck: Why you little palookas!
Mickey: Now, now Donald.
Buzz-Saw Louie: We're warning you! I've got a Buzzsaw built in my right arm and I'm not afraid to use it!
Jean-Claude and Phillipe: (both laughing)
Phillipe: (accidentally drops the slushy) Ooh, my slushy!!

(Slushy falls onto Jimmy Gourd's head)

Caleb: Ooooh! Free slushies!
Minnie: You okay, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Maybe we should fall back and regroup.

(The Israelites retreat.)

Jean-Claude: Ha, Ha
Phillipe: Ho, Ho
Jean-Claude: Flee, you cowards! You may have your God, but we have our wall!

(Jean-Claude and Phillipe ad lib as Joshua and the other Israelites leave)

Bob: Well! Things weren't going as smoothly as Joshua had hoped, So the Israelites decided to fall back and talk things over.

(Fade to later that night.)

Tom: That's a big wall.
Goofy: I know, right?
Petrie: Petrie don't like that wall.
Pa Grape: This time, I really mean it! We should go back to Egypt.
All: Huh?
Susie: What do you mean, Pa?
Pa Grape: Don't you remember? Snorkeling in the Nile, three square meals a day, plenty of exercise; oh, it was paradise.
Tom: We were in slavery!
Daisy: Do you want to be a slave again?
Chuckie: Not me!
Piglet: I don't!
Pa Grape: Nothing is perfect.
Jimmy: Listen kids, that land is rightfully ours and the only way that we're gonna get it is by taking out that wall! Right, Jerry, Phil, Lil, Carlos and Donald?
Jerry: Oh yeah, that's- that's right, Jimmy.
Donald: That's right!
Phil: We're not gonna let any jerks talk us down! We will defeat them!
Lil: I couldn't agree more!
Jimmy: So, Jerry, Phil, Lil, Carlos and Donald and I are gonna put our heads together and come up with a plan to take out the wall!
Jerry: Yeah!
Pa Grape: They are so aggressive.
Mickey: Well, sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't.
Scallion #2: But they're right. We need to do something about that wall.
Tim: Yes, we do. And those peas are not making it easy.
Bob: Well, Joshua didn't know what to do, and he could see that things were getting a little out of control.
Jimmy: Where did we put that chemistry set?
Pooh: I think it's in our tent, Jimmy.
Jimmy: Thank you, Pooh.
Pa Grape: Is Egypt north or south?
Phoebe: I think it's north, Pa.
Daisy: Well have fun doing work and being slaves again!
Bob: Then he remembered that whenever Moses didn't know what to do, he would go and talk to God.
Junior: How did he do that?
Bob: Well, Moses found the best way was to go off by himself and just listen.
Joshua: I'll be right back.
Caleb: All right, but don't be long, Joshua, boy.
Bob: So Josh went away from the camp to see if he could hear God. (As Joshua does so, a shadow appears behind him.) After he had gone away, he saw a strange man with a sword.

(Joshua turns to see Archibald Asparagus with armor and a sword.)

Junior: Whoa!
Bob: Josh wondered whether this guy was on his side, or on Jericho's side.
Joshua: Are for us or for our enemies?
Commander (Archibald Asparagus): Neither. But as commander of the army of the Lord, I have now come.
Bob: Well! Josh realized that this was a messenger from God, so he immediately fell face down on the ground in reverence.
Joshua: (muffled): What message does my Lord have for His servant?

(Commander looks at Junior and Bob, who just shrug.)

Commander: I'm sorry, I couldn't make that out.
Joshua: (spits out some sand) I said, "What message does my Lord have for His servant?"
Commander: Oh, really? That's what you said?
Joshua: Yes, that's what I've said.
Commander: Oh, alright. I've come with directions from the Lord.
Joshua: Great! What are they?
Commander: Ah yes, ahem. The Lord says to you, Joshua: "See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands. March around the city once with all your men. Do this each day for six days, have seven priests carry trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast, have all the people give a loud shout and the walls of the city will collapse! And Jericho will be yours!" (beat) Well, have fun. (He leaves)
Junior: Those were very interesting directions.
Bob: They sure were. Josh went back to camp, and told the plan to the rest of the Israelites.
Joshua: ...And the walls of the city will collapse and Jericho will be yours.
Bob: They thought it was interesting, too.
Keesha: Really?
Scallion #1: (annoyed) You're joking.
Mr. Lunt: You gotta be kidding me.
Ralphie: Are you sure that's what God told you?
Joshua: Yep, that's what he told me.
Jimmy: So, we're supposed to hop around the city for seven days, blow our little horns, yell and the walls are just gonna fall down?
Joshua: Yep, those are God's directions.
Phil: As usual, God wants us to do the work.
Jimmy: Well, I'm sure that will work great, if the walls were made out of Jell-O!
Pooh: Ohh!
Jerry: Ooh! Then we could eat them.
Pooh: Now I'm getting hungry, I want manna with honey!
Jerry: Me too, Pooh.
Jimmy: No. I never want to lick, taste or see manna again.
Carlos: That will never work.
Pa Grape: Last call for Egypt! Whose coming with me?
Minnie: Do you want to be a slave again?
Pa Grape: Well it's could be worst been being in the desert for 40 years.
Israelite 1: I will.
Israelite 2: Count me in!
Donald: Just a minute!
Jimmy: We think you'll find our plan a bit more sophisticated.
Phil: You see, blowing horns in the desert isn't gonna do it.
Donald: What we need is serious firepower!
Jimmy: Jerry, Lil, Carlos, the curtain!

(Jerry, Lil and Carlos remove an orange curtain, revealing a giant, rather crudely-built rocket.)

Israelites: Ooooh!
Arnold: Cool.
Tim: What is it?
Jimmy: Behold our creation...The Wallminator 3000!
Carlos: With this, we will destroy our enemies!

(applause)

Tom: How are we clapping?
Pa Grape: I have no idea...
Mickey: Well course you guys won't get it, because you guys are food.
Pa Grape: We are?
Mickey: Yeah because... uh,,, oh, forget it. I said nothing.
Junior: This is terrible! It looks like they're gonna ignore God's directions again!
Bob: Shh! Josh has something to say.
Joshua: Um, I think we're forgetting something. Ahem.

(The Lord Has Given starts)

Joshua: The Lord has given this land to us.

No need to fuss.

He knows what's He's doing.

We know that He will care of us

If we will follow Him.

Now everyone, sing together.

The Israelites: The Lord has given this land to us.

No need to fuss.

He knows what's He's doing.

We know that He will take care of us

If we will follow Him.

Joshua: As your new leader, I think we should try doing it God's way first.
Minnie: Hmm...I supposed he's right. It may sound weird to march around the wall for seven days, but i trust Josh. And i trust God. And the rest of us should too.
Buzz Saw Louie: You know? She's right. Where has doing it the wrong way gotten us anyway?
Bob: Well, God's way still sounded kinda funny, but the Israelites agreed to give it a try. And the next morning, there they were, marching around Jericho. It wasn't long before the people of Jericho noticed the Israelites.
Jean Claude: What are you doing?
Jimmy: We're going to knock your wall down!
Jean Claude: By walking around in circles?
Jimmy: Yes. It's not 'cause we're crazy or anything. Our God told us to do it this way.
Phillipe: Oh, that's a great idea! You go ahead and keep walking!

(Keep Walking starts)

(Phillipe): Keep walking, but you won't knock down our wall

Keep walking, but she isn't gonna to fall!

It's plain to see your brains are very small

To think walking will be knocking down our wall.

You silly little pickle, you silly little peas!

You think that walking round will bring this city to its knees?

The awesome power of this wall, we've clearly demonstrated

Ah! But out here in the hot, hot sun, perhaps you're dehydrated?

(Jean Claude): I pity them, Philippe.
(Phillipe): Ah, mais oui, Jean Claude, mais oui. Won't you join me in my irritating little song?
(Jean Claude): It would be an honor!
(Jean Claude and Phillipe): Keep walking, but you won't knock down our wall

Keep walking, but she isn't gonna to fall!

It's plain to see, your brains are very small

To think walking will be knocking down our wall.

(as the song continues, more soldiers join in)

(All): Keep walking, but you won't knock down our wall

Keep walking, but she isn't gonna to fall!

It's plain to see, your brains are very small

To think walking will be knocking down our wall

It's plain to see... your brains are very small

To think walking will be knocking down our wall!

French pea army: (laughing)
Jean Claude: Alright boys, let them have it! (The entire army pulls out cups of slushies.)
Chuckie: AAAAHHH!
Jean Claude: Fire at will! (The army starts dropping their slushies.)
Caleb: Slushies!
Joshua: Double time!
Caleb: We're gonna get free slushies! [He reaches to catch one but it only splats him.]

(The Israelites start hopping faster as the slushies fall all around them.)

Bob: Well, it wasn't a pretty sight but they did make it around Jericho. (A slushy hits the camera. Fade back to the camp.) Back at their camp that night, they talked it over.
Joshua: Well, uh t-that could have been worse. We made it all the way around. So, um we only have to do this six more days. And t-that will take care of it. Well what do you think?

(Some of the Israelites are badly wounded. And Caleb is drinking slushies)

Jimmy: I've got slushy in my ear.
Scallion #3: Me too.
Carlos: Me three.
Phil: Me four.
Keesha: And six more days?!
Scallion #1: How are we going to survive six more days?!
Wanda: Yeah!
Bugs Bunny: Are you kidding me, doc?!
Joshua: Well, um.
Jimmy: Time to fire up the Wallminator, Phil, Lil, Carlos, Donald and Jerry!
Donald: We've been waiting for you to say that, Jimmy!
Carlos: Let's do it!
Joshua: Um, do you think that's a good idea?
Caleb: I'm fine with just drinking more slushy.
Pa Grape: Who wants to see the pyramids? I'm organizing a tour.
Minnie: You'll be sorry when you become a slave again.
Joshua: No, wait.
Bob: Things were really falling apart this time. Josh needed to do something and quick! Junior?
Junior: (O.S.) Wait! Don't you see what you're doing? (The Israelites turn to him) God gave you directions and you're ignoring them! Don't you remember what happened when you were supposed to go into the Promised Land, but you got scared and ran away instead? 'Cause you didn't follow his directions, you had to stay in the desert for 40 years!
Jimmy: Well, yeah, but that was...
Junior: I know God's directions don't always make sense to us, but things work out a lot better when we do them God's way instead of trying to do things our own way. It didn't make sense when God told you to walk right through the Red Sea, but what happened? The water dried up. And it didn't make sense when God told you to live in the desert even though there's no food in the desert, but what happened? God gave you manna to eat. Don't you see? Sometimes God asks us to do things that don't make sense to us, like walking around a city to make the walls fall down or being nice to someone who hasn't been nice to us. But when we remember that God made us and loves us and always wants what's best for us, we can be sure that His way is the best way. (singing) The Lord has given this land to us.

No need to fuss.

He knows what He's doing.

We know that He will take care of us,

If we will follow Him.

God's way is the best way

Now that I know He loves me so.

His way is the best way...

And that's the way for me!

Ducky: Junior Asparagus is right. We all acted very badly. Yep-yep-yep.
Junior: Tomorrow morning, Josh and I are going back out there to march around Jericho. Who's coming with us?
Buzz-Saw Louie: Aye!
Susie: Aye!
Ralphie: Aye!
Mickey: Aye!
Tom: You can count on me!
Chuckie: I might be scared, but I want us to get our new home! I'm in!
Jimmy: Alright, we're in.
Pooh: Me too!
Scallion #1: Us too!

(cheering)

Percy: Hey, somebody's gotta carry that ark.

(cheering)

Tom: Well Pa, do you still want to see the pyramids?
Daisy: And be a slave again?
Pa Grape: Aw, I've seen the pyramids. I've built the pyramids. Let's go to Jericho!

(massive cheering)

Bob: The next day, they all set off again to march around Jericho. Now, God never said it would be easy. No, the people of Jericho hit 'em with everything they had.
Jean-Claude: Fire one! Fire two! (they use garden hoses to pour more slushy on the Israelites.)
Bob: But the Israelites remembered that they were following God's directions and they kept on marching. (The soldiers use a cement truck to drop more slushy on their foes and Caleb keep catching. slushies to drink even though some of them splat him.) Six days they marched and nothing could stop them. (The Israelites use umbrellas to protect themselves from the falling slushies.) On the seventh day, just like God had told them, they marched around Jericho seven times while the priests blew their horns.

("When the Saints Go Marching In" playing)

Bob: And just like God said, when they finished marching, the priests blew one long blast and then all the people yelled.
Israelites: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Pa Grape: (hacking)

(Susie pats Pa Grape on the back.)

Pa Grape: Thanks.
Susie: Don't mention it.

(Birds chirp as the Israelites look up at the wall, seeing that nothing has happened.)

French Peas: (chuckling)

(When a brick jumps out of its place, the soldiers stop laughing. As they turn to see the brick, a low rumbling is heard. The rumbling sound gets louder as the ground starts to quake.)

French Peas: Ahhh!
Minnie: Everyone stand back!

(Joshua and the Israelites back away from the wall as it starts to collapse. The huge gong falls off along with the tower. As the walls collapse, a huge dust storm blows as the Israelites close their eyes. Eventually, the dust clears and the Israelites are all covered in dust. Jericho has been reduced to bricks, broken pillars and a single bathtub. The dust covered soldiers are somehow unharmed.)

French Peas: (gasp)
Joshua: Hello! My name is Joshua, and God has given us this land!
French Peas: Ahhhhh!

(The peas run away in fear and we switch to Bob and Junior who are also covered in dust standing on a pile of wall remains.)

Bob: So the Israelites obeyed God and the walls fell down.
Junior: Wow!
Bob: Finally, after forty years, they were in their new home.

(Jimmy stumbles around with dust in his eyes.)

Jimmy: Ow! Oh! Boy, did I pick a lousy day to wear my contacts!
Goofy: It worked! We did it!
Phoebe: Now we can get to our new home.
Littlefoot: Joshua, care to lead the way?
Joshua: With pleasure!

(everyone cheering)

All: (singing) And in the Promised Land, it's gonna be so grand. We're gonna march through the streets walking hand in hand. It'll be so great. Now, we don't have to wait, 'cause we're going to the Promised Land. Yeah, we're going to the Promised Land!!!

(As the story ends, we zoom out above Jericho's remains before fading to the map.)

Jimmy: Does anyone have any saline?

Closing Countertop[]

(The story ends, fades back to Bob & Junior on the countertop.)

Bob: Well, what'd you think?
Junior: That was amazing! But did they really build a rocket in the middle of the desert and get slushies dropped on their heads?
Bob: Ah, no. Those are some things that we put in our story. Remember? We were using our imaginations.
Junior: Oh!
Bob: But there really was a guy named Joshua, and the Israelites really did walk around Jericho and the walls really did fall down.
Junior: Wow!
Bob: Yep. If you want to learn more about Joshua, you can read about him in the bible in the book called Joshua.
Junior: Wow! He's even got his own book?
Bob: That's right! 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: I'll be right back.

(Bob precedes to stop the song, but a slushy drops in front of him.)

Bob: Huh, what?
Jean-Claude: Not so fast, tomato!
Phillipe: Yes, we love that song!

(the song continues)

Singers: You see, we know that God's word is for everyone, And now that our song is done We'll take a look.

(pause)

Junior: The Israelites learned that since God loves them and was always looking out for them, that His way was the best way.
Bob: That's right, and because Joshua obeyed God, he went on to be a great leader too, just like Moses. Let's see if Qwerty has a verse for us.

(QWERTY opens the verse.)

Bob: "As for God, his way is perfect."—2 Samuel 22:31a.
Junior: Well, gee, if God's way is perfect, I guess it makes sense to obey Him.
Bob: I think you're right, Junior. So Victor, I know being nice to someone who hasn't been nice to you doesn't sound like very much fun, but following God's directions is always the best idea. And maybe Louis doesn't need a punch in the nose. Maybe Louis needs a friend.
Junior: Yeah!
Bob: Well, we're out of time for today. Remember...
Junior: God made you special, and He loves you very much.
Both: Bye!

(As Junior & Bob leave the countertop, the door is opened and closed. Larry appears in the same pajamas from Oh, Santa!.)

Larry: (Yawns) Is it time for the show?

(The lights turn off and Qwerty's screen goes off, leaving only Larry's eyes in the dark.)

Larry: Aw, nuts.

(The credits then roll with "The Promised Land" playing all throughout)
