01:20My favorite cookies are oatmeal raisin
01:23Without the raisins
01:25Just the oatmeal
01:26Choco-Fudge Nuggets
01:28It's a nugget of fudge
01:30Wrapped in chocolate
01:31With chocolate sprinkles
01:33Nope
01:34Mr. Butter's Doodle Whoppers
01:36Mr. Who's what?
01:39Mr. Butter's Doodle Whoppers

01:43Bite them, chew them with your choppers
01:44Mr. Butter's Doodle Whoppers
01:46Move over, Mozart
01:48So, what did you win?
01:51A lifetime supply of Mr. Butter's Doodle Whoppers
01:54In their Cookies for Life contest
01:56You've won the contest?
01:58As good as
01:59They just announced the two finalists
02:02And I'm half of them
02:03Congratulations, Larry
02:04Who's the other finalist?
02:07Don't know
02:07But too bad for them
02:09Cause I'm gonna win
02:10And a lifetime of cookies
02:12Is gonna make me so, so happy
02:15Hey, everybody
02:16They just announced the results
02:18Of the Mr. Butter's Doodle Whopper
02:20Cookies for Life contest
02:22And I'm a finalist
02:24Wait
02:24You're the other finalist?
02:26Other?
02:27You mean you're a finalist?
02:30Oh, boy
02:30I'm the finalist that's gonna win
02:32No
02:33I'm the finalist that's gonna win
02:35But I won't be happy
02:37Unless I have a lifetime supply
02:38Of Doodle Whoppers
02:39Then I guess you just won't be happy
02:41Because the Doodle Whoppers are mine
02:44We are on the horns of a moral dilemma
02:48Guys, endless cookies can't be the only way to be happy
02:52But it's what I want
02:54Getting what you want makes you happy
02:56And I want cookies
02:58Petunia?
02:59Yes?
03:00You're the president of the VeggieTales fan club
03:02Are you aware of any letters we've received
03:04That deal with this particular situation?
03:07Let's see
03:09Oh, wait
03:10This one might be just right
03:12Dear Bob and Larry
03:14Oh, good start
03:15Very promising
03:17My friend Alejandro got a new bike
03:19It's really nice
03:21I asked for a bike for Christmas
03:23But I didn't get one
03:24Now I feel grumpy inside
03:26How can I be happy if I don't get what I want?
03:30Your friend Thomas
03:32You can't
03:33That's how
03:34No bike
03:35No cookies
03:36No happy
03:37There's gotta be a better answer than that
03:40Who's got an idea?
03:43Um...
03:44Well, we could...
03:46Thirty seconds to curtain, everybody
03:47Hope you got something good, Bob
03:49Okay, places, everybody
03:52Let's put on a great show
04:01Get your sister
04:02Get your brother
04:03Call your uncle
04:04And your mother
04:05If you're missing any other
04:06Of the people that you know
04:08We're going to start the show
04:12It's the VeggieTales Show
04:14Live on stage
04:16It's the VeggieTales Show
04:18For every age
04:19It's the VeggieTales Show
04:21I'm in the cake
04:22It's a VeggieTel Show!
04:29It's a VeggieTel Show!
04:32Nice job, everyone!
04:34Not as nice as the lifetime supply of Mr. Butter's Doodle Whoppers that I'm gonna win!
04:39Ha!
04:41Oh, if we can't be happy, how are we supposed to teach Thomas?
04:46Bob, I've got an idea.
04:49Yes, please!
04:50I think we're focusing on the wrong word.
04:53You mean happy?
04:55Right. We need to talk about a different word.
04:57I'm fond of persnickety.
05:00What word do we need to be talking about?
05:03Put me on stage.
05:04Uh, okay. Do you need anything?
05:08Yes, I need three kids and a classroom set.
05:11Coming right up.
05:15Good morning, class.
05:17Good morning, Miss Petunia.
05:19Tell me kids, what do you want?
05:22What do we want?
05:23What do we want?
05:25What do we want?
05:26We wanna be happy.
05:28Happy, we wanna be happy.
05:32Happy, we wanna be happy.
05:35So happy, cause we got everything we want.
05:40And what makes you happy?
05:43Cookies make me happy.
05:44Getting a new bike makes me happy.
05:47I collect action figures based on the popular early reader book series, Tim of Mars.
05:52And I would like the entire limited edition book two set of collectibles in original packaging.
05:57That would make me happy.
05:58Happy.
06:00Then you'd be happy?
06:01Then we'd be happy.
06:03Happy.
06:04Then we'd be happy.
06:07Happy.
06:08Then we'd be happy.
06:11Happy.
06:11So happy, cause we have everything we want.
06:15Happy.
06:16What if I told you there was something better than happy?
06:19Better than happy?
06:21Mega happy?
06:22Deep happy.
06:24Something called joy.
06:26Joy?
06:27Joy?
06:28Joy?
06:28What's that?
06:30It's happy that lasts.
06:32Say you eat a cookie.
06:35Yum!
06:36An hour later, what do you want?
06:38Another cookie.
06:39Why?
06:40Because it doesn't last.
06:42I always need more.
06:45Say you get a new bike.
06:47Hooray!
06:50A few years later, what do you want?
06:54Another bike.
06:55The first one might be old or dirty or broken.
06:58I need a new one.
06:59And say you get the whole book two set of action figures.
07:04What happens next?
07:06Well, there's book three.
07:08But what is joy?
07:10How is it different?
07:13A toy is a happy that comes to an end.
07:18But joy is a happy that comes from a friend.
07:22A hug from a buddy, your mom or your dad.
07:27Joy is the happiest happy you've had.
07:31I don't think I get it.
07:33Have you ever been on a roller coaster?
07:36Yeah, roller coasters are fun.
07:39They sure are.
07:40Have you ever gone on a roller coaster by yourself?
07:44I did once.
07:45It wasn't as fun.
07:46Roller coasters are fun.
07:48But a roller coaster with your best friend or your family?
07:51That's joy.
07:53So joy is about relationships?
07:56With your friends, your family, even God.
08:00Wait, being friends with God can give us joy?
08:05Relationships, they are the key to our joy.
08:09More than a cookie, a bike, or a toy.
08:13Just like a hug from your buddy can do.
08:17God is a friend who can give you joy, too.
08:21God is a friend who can give you joy, too.
08:27So tell me, students, what do you want?
08:30We want joy, joy, joy.
08:33We want joy, joy, joy.
08:37Even more than a cookie, or a bike, or a toy.
08:41What we really, really want is joy.
08:44What we really, really want is joy.
08:50Joy is even better than happy.
08:53Joy is deep happy.
08:56That's crazy.
08:57If happy is a cookie, then deep happy is a whole bunch of cookies.
09:03A lifetime supply, which is exactly what I'll have after I win
09:08the Mr. Butter's Doodle Whopper Cookies for Life contest.
09:11But Miss Petunia said joy is better than happy.
09:14And it comes from your friends, and your family, and from God.
09:18Why not have both?
09:20Both what?
09:21Friends and family, and cookies.
09:23Yeah.
09:24Why should it be just one?
09:26I want everything I want.
09:28Friends, family, and a lifetime supply of Mr. Butter's Doodle Whoppers.
09:33Then I'll be happy.
09:34You really need everything you want to be happy?
09:38How could I have joy if there's something I really, really want that I don't have?
09:43Yeah, Bob.
09:45How?
09:45Well, I tried.
09:48Anyone else have an idea?
09:50Glad you asked.
09:51I believe I have just the thing.
09:54It isn't about British history, is it?
09:56Oh, heavens no.
09:58Good.
09:59It's much older than that.
10:01Wait.
10:02What?
10:02Here, here, everyone.
10:04The script is up on cue cards, and your costumes are on the rack.
10:07I need two leads.
10:09Ah, yes.
10:11You two.
10:12What, me?
10:13And me?
10:15But he is my cookie enemy.
10:17They're not your cookies.
10:18I'm going to win them.
10:20Yes, yes.
10:20Lovely.
10:21Now, costumes on and get out there.
10:25We're going to learn something about real joy.
10:31Once upon a time, many years ago, about 1,960, give or take, there were two friends.
10:42They call me Paul.
10:44They call me Silas.
10:48Very nice.
10:50Paul and Silas were traveling from town to town, telling people the good news about Jesus.
10:57Hello.
10:58Would you like to hear the good news about Jesus?
11:01Does anyone want to hear the good news about Jesus?
11:05Sometimes people were just too busy to listen.
11:08But not everyone.
11:09There was a poor peasant girl.
11:12Amy.
11:14Aw.
11:17I'd like to hear the good news.
11:19Is it good news for me, a poor peasant girl?
11:22It's good news for everyone.
11:25Walk with us, and we'll tell you the good news.
11:30Hey.
11:31She can't go with you.
11:33She works for me.
11:34I want to hear the good news.
11:36We didn't mean any trouble, sir.
11:39That's exactly what you meant.
11:41You two came here to make trouble, because you're troublemakers.
11:48Did you say troublemakers?
11:51No.
11:51We're not troublemakers.
11:53We have good news.
11:55Do you know what we do with troublemakers around here?
11:59Give them cookies?
12:01No.
12:02We put them in jail.
12:07And that's exactly what they did.
12:10Paul and Silas found themselves locked in jail, accused of troublemaking.
12:17Ah, you guys went and did it.
12:19You made trouble.
12:21And now you're stuck here with me, in jail.
12:24Who are you?
12:26I'm the jailer.
12:27I attend the jail.
12:28He's the jailer in charge of your new home away from home.
12:34Home away from home.
12:35How long have you guys been in here?
12:37I don't know.
12:38A year?
12:40Ten years?
12:41It all blurs together in a miserable place like this.
12:46I want my mommy.
12:48How long have you been the jailer?
12:50I don't know.
12:51A year?
12:52Ten years?
12:53It all blurs together in a miserable place like this.
12:57It was a gloomy place filled with gloomy people.
13:02But Paul and Silas weren't gloomy.
13:05They remembered the good news.
13:08Hey, Silas.
13:09Remember the good news?
13:11That we can be friends with God and he'll be with us always?
13:14No matter what?
13:15Right.
13:16Even in jail.
13:17I mean, I'd sure like to get out of jail.
13:19But even if we don't, God is with us.
13:23So later that night in this terribly gloomy place, Paul and Silas prayed.
13:30Dear God, please get us out of jail.
13:33It's kind of icky in here.
13:35But even if you don't, we're still glad you're with us.
13:39And we're okay.
13:40Amen.
13:42And then they did something very unusual.
13:45They sang.
13:49I'm in jail.
13:51Me too.
13:52I wish I wasn't in jail.
13:54Me too.
13:55But since I'm in jail, I'm happy God is with me too.
14:00Me too.
14:01Most guys in jail will sing the blues.
14:04But we're just singing about the good news.
14:07And though we'd love to be set free, I'm happy knowing God is in here with me.
14:15They're singing in jail.
14:18It's true.
14:19Why are they singing in jail?
14:21Do you want to know what you would need to do to know that God is friends with you?
14:28And then, my friend, it will be true.
14:31You'll be singing in jail.
14:34You'll be singing in jail.
14:36We'll be singing in jail.
14:39We'll be singing in jail.
14:39We'll be singing in jail.
14:39Suddenly, in the middle of the singing, there was an earthquake.
14:44Whoa!
14:47Earthquake!
14:48Hang on!
14:49The jail was rocked!
14:52And the doors of the cells were wide open.
14:56The doors are open.
14:58We can get out of here.
15:00Escape.
15:01God answered our prayer.
15:03He got us out of jail.
15:04Now we can go back to jail.
15:05to telling people the good news.
15:07It's just what we wanted.
15:09Stop.
15:11Get back in your cells.
15:13Come on, man.
15:15We're already out.
15:16I'm sorry, Mr. Jailer.
15:18But we prayed that God would let us out of jail.
15:21And well, he did.
15:24Oh, who am I trying to kid?
15:26I can't stop you.
15:28It's just that, boy, am I going to be in trouble.
15:32What do you mean?
15:33It's not your fault.
15:35It's my job.
15:37I got one job.
15:38Don't let anybody leave.
15:40That's pretty much it.
15:42So if we leave, you'll lose your job?
15:46Unemployed?
15:47I wish.
15:49The Romans aren't so nice about these things.
15:52If I lose my prisoners, I don't just lose my job.
15:56I lose my life.
15:59Oh.
16:00Paul and Silas didn't know what to do.
16:03Huh?
16:03I don't know what to do.
16:05If they left, they'd be free to tell people about Jesus again.
16:10That'd be good.
16:11But the poor jailer would lose his life.
16:15That'd be bad.
16:17They could have what they wanted, freedom.
16:20But should they take it?
16:21I understand if you want to leave.
16:25I'd want to leave, too, if I were you.
16:28What will Paul and Silas do?
16:31I don't know.
16:32I don't have the next page of the script.
16:33What do they do?
16:35We'll find out right after this break.
16:40What do they do?
16:42What do they do?
16:42Don't you love a good cliffhanger?
16:46Do they get what they want?
16:47Do they go free?
16:48They can't be happy in jail.
16:50I'm impressed, Archibald.
16:52You've got everyone on the edge of their seats.
16:55Very dramatic.
16:57I like it.
16:58Oh, thanks, Mr. Nezzer.
17:01But, uh, shouldn't someone be out there doing something?
17:05Uh, Larry, can you give us a silly song?
17:08I'm too agitated to be silly, Bob.
17:11Maybe he can give us an agitated song.
17:14That's not a thing.
17:15Uh, it is now.
17:17Archie, give me an intro.
17:19On it.
17:23And now it's time for Agitated Songs with Larry.
17:27The part of the show where Larry comes out and sings an agitated song.
17:41I'm very, very upset, and I'm not having fun.
17:44So if you will excuse me, my little song is done.
17:52See, I knew you could do it.
17:54Boy, that made me even more agitated.
17:57Just in time to resume our story.
17:59Back on stage, everyone.
18:01Ahem.
18:02What would they do?
18:04There they were, Paul and Silas, freed from jail by an earthquake.
18:10Freedom is what they wanted.
18:12They could go back to telling people the good news about Jesus.
18:16But what would be good for them would be very bad for the jailer.
18:23Who am I kidding?
18:24If I were them, I wouldn't care about me.
18:27I'm not important.
18:29Of course they'll leave.
18:32What was that?
18:33We're still here.
18:35Why?
18:36We don't want you to get in trouble.
18:38Besides, we can have joy anywhere.
18:41Because God is always with us.
18:43Yeah, I noticed from the singing.
18:48Why are you guys still here?
18:50If God could make them that happy, that they'd be singing in jail?
18:56Well, we want to be friends with God too.
18:59Yeah, friends.
19:01You gotta tell me, what do I have to do to be friends with God?
19:05You want to hear the good news?
19:07I want to hear the good news.
19:10But not here.
19:11Would you come to my house for dinner?
19:13You can tell my whole family.
19:15Can we come too?
19:16Dinny.
19:18Sure.
19:19You're all invited to my house.
19:21I just have to get you back in your cells before morning.
19:25This is the happiest I've been in a long, long time.
19:30You know what might be even better than seeing God help us?
19:34What's that?
19:35Seeing God help other people too.
19:38I think you're right.
19:39And that's the story of Paul and Silas and the Philippian jailer.
19:45Joy doesn't come from getting what you want.
19:48It comes from knowing God is with you.
19:51And from seeing him make a difference in other people's lives too.
19:58Hey, you're just in time.
20:00They're about to announce the winner of the Cookies for Life contest.
20:04At the moment we've all been waiting for,
20:07the winner of the Mr. Butters Doodle Whoppers Cookies for Life contest is...
20:14Mr. Larry the Cucumber!
20:17I won! I won! I won! I won! I won! I won!
20:21It's okay.
20:22I don't eat cookies to be happy.
20:27You know, I don't need cookies to be happy either.
20:31I'm gonna share my cookies with you, Junior.
20:33In fact, I'm gonna share my cookies with everyone.
20:37Hey, I'm really proud of you guys.
20:43We learned a lot today.
20:44I think we need to get out there and wrap it up for Thomas.
20:47Oh, right. Thomas, let's go!
20:56Well, Thomas, everyone wants to be happy.
21:00But I learned today there's something better than happy. Joy!
21:04And we get joy when we remember God is with us.
21:08Joy isn't about what we have.
21:10It's about being loved by God and seeing the difference he makes for other people too.
21:16Good time for a verse.
21:17Oh, right.
21:19Do not fear, tomato!
21:22It's our angel friend!
21:23It's not an angel. It's Jean-Claude.
21:27I have a gift for you. From heaven!
21:30Thank you, angel!
21:33Wait, what?
21:34It's a Mr. Butter's Doodle Whopper. My favorite!
21:38Aw, thank you, angel!
21:39It was supposed to be a fortune cookie with a verse in it.
21:46Another cookie!
21:47Hmm.
21:49Romans 15, 13.
21:51May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him.
21:57Well, we're out of time.
21:58Remember, kids, God made you special.
22:01And he loves you very much.
22:03And he wants you to have joy.
22:07Goodbye!
