00:30Bob! Bob! I've got a great idea for the show!
00:34Um, Bob?
00:36Bob's not here yet, Larry.
00:38What do you mean?
00:39This is the part where I come in and say,
00:40Bob! Bob! I have an idea for the show!
00:43And Bob says, I'm kind of busy, Larry.
00:45And I say, yeah, but this is a great idea.
00:48And Bob says, okay, let's hear it.
00:50And then I tell him, and then we usually do something else.
00:53So where is he?
00:54I don't know. Haven't seen him all day.
00:57He'd better get here soon. We have nothing planned for the show tonight.
01:01This isn't like him. He loves putting on shows.
01:05I suspect foul play!
01:08What? You think Bob's been kidnapped?
01:11Who's been kidnapped?
01:13Bob? Bob's been kidnapped!
01:15I don't think Bob's been...
01:17Who would kidnap Bob? Space aliens!
01:20Or worse, vegetarians!
01:25We need to organize a search party!
01:28Red! Round! Last seen wearing! Nothing!
01:32Hello?
01:33Not now, Bob. We gotta find Bob.
01:35Bob?
01:36Bob! Is it you?
01:37We thought you were kidnapped by space vegetarians!
01:41What?
01:42Where have you been? You could have missed the show!
01:45Yeah, the show.
01:48Bob, are you alright?
01:49Look at this. Celebrating Guy Broccoli, host of the number one vegetable theater show, ten years running.
01:57It's Guy Broccoli!
01:59You mean the guy with the amazingly awesome theater across town?
02:03On Guy Broccoli Drive, his own street?
02:06We've got a theater too, Bob. And it's on a road.
02:09Not our road. It's not even our theater.
02:13But he has been doing his show for a long time.
02:16If our show was the number one vegetable theater show, we'd get a lot more attention.
02:21And I could help a lot more kids.
02:23But all the attention goes to Guy Broccoli.
02:27He's never missed a show in ten years!
02:30He never messes up. We never mess up.
02:35I'm trying to do something good, but I'm afraid we're never going to get the attention we need.
02:41Sometimes I think...
02:42What, Bob?
02:43I think...
02:44Maybe I should just give up.
02:47Huh?
02:48What?
02:49It's funny. That actually reminds me of a letter I just read.
02:53Yeah?
02:54Is it from Guy Broccoli?
02:57No. It's from a boy named Enrique.
02:59Enrique says,
03:01Dear Bob and Larry, I know God wants us to help others.
03:04So I've been raising money to buy toys for kids who don't have any.
03:08But it's taking forever.
03:10If I'm doing something good, shouldn't it go faster?
03:14I'm ready to give up.
03:16What should I do?
03:17Your friend, Enrique.
03:19I'd say, Enrique, you should probably give up.
03:23No. I think we need to talk about perseverance.
03:27Perse who?
03:28Who can explain?
03:29Quick, before Mr. Nezzer comes in and says...
03:3230 seconds to curtain, Bob.
03:34Hope you got something real inspiring.
03:37I do not.
03:38I most definitely do not.
03:41Say what?
03:42Bob's having a hard day.
03:44But don't worry.
03:45We're all working on something together.
03:50Okay.
03:51Get out there.
03:52Show me what you got.
03:54Oh, dear.
03:55Cue the theme song.
04:01Get your sister.
04:03Get your brother.
04:04Call your uncle.
04:04And your mother.
04:05If you're missing any other of the people that you know.
04:08We're going to start the show.
04:13It's the VeggieTales Show.
04:15Live on stage.
04:16It's the VeggieTales Show.
04:18For every egg.
04:20It's the VeggieTales Show.
04:21I'm in the cake.
04:23It's the VeggieTales Show.
04:29It's the VeggieTales Show.
04:45It's the VeggieTales Show.
04:47Perhaps if we did something to make a big splash.
04:51You know, to break through the clutter.
04:53I could bring back the alligator.
04:55No.
04:56Classic opera?
04:58Not what kids are into these days.
05:00Speaking of what kids are into, Jerry and I have been working on something big.
05:06Yeah, super big.
05:09What is it?
05:10Well, what are kids into these days?
05:14Light up shoes?
05:15Toys that hatch out of eggs?
05:18Suspenders?
05:19No.
05:20Hip-hop musicals about the founding fathers.
05:24Hip-hop history.
05:25Oh, yes.
05:26I read about this in the Times.
05:28Very popular.
05:29And we can stream it live on the Internet so the whole world can see it.
05:35Viral.
05:35You know, that's not a bad idea.
05:38And then we could be big faster.
05:41Larry, grab that laptop and get ready to start streaming.
05:44Got it.
05:46Ready for streaming.
05:48What's streaming?
05:49No idea.
05:51Which founding father are we talking about?
05:54Bob, you're about to find out.
06:07We know you've heard a lot about your favorite founding fathers.
06:11So why should we describe another?
06:13Tell me why we bother.
06:14There's a man we should remember.
06:16Maybe even thank him.
06:17Put your hands together for Benjamin Franklin.
06:25I was a diplomat philosopher, a writer politician, a printer and a scientist.
06:31The others, they were wishing that they could do as much as me or have as big a brain.
06:35Don't believe me?
06:36Listen up.
06:37I'm gonna explain.
06:39Don't believe him?
06:40Listen up.
06:40He's gonna explain.
06:41I studied ocean currents and the growth of population.
06:44I started postal service for our brand new nation.
06:48The U of Pennsylvania, that was me.
06:51A new kind of spectacles, you can see.
06:54I invented on the holidays, on Labor Day and Hanukkah.
06:58I even made an instrument, the glass harmonica.
07:01I even made an instrument, the glass harmonica.
07:07I'm printing up an almanac that everyone is reading.
07:10I'm helping with a revolution, now we are succeeding.
07:13I'm working on the constitution, just what we are needing.
07:17I'm also foreign minister to France and Sweden.
07:20He's also foreign minister to France and Sweden.
07:23Well, Washington was napping in his apple grove.
07:26I was working in the workshop on the Franklin stove.
07:30He was working in the workshop on the Franklin stove.
07:33He was working in the workshop on the Franklin stove.
07:36Oh yes, Benjamin.
07:37We're looking for scrap metal for recycling.
07:39Are you throwing that away?
07:42I'm not throwing away my pot belly stove.
07:44He's not throwing away his pot belly stove.
07:47You can go back to your napping in your apple grove.
07:50But he's not throwing away his pot belly stove.
07:53Word.
07:54Alright.
07:54Sheesh.
07:55Keep it.
07:57When I'm rolling with my homies at a house party,
08:00I make a splash with my cash so everyone can see
08:03Who's the dude on the hundred dollar bill?
08:05It's me.
08:06Day by day he kept inventing
08:09In a rainstorm unrelenting
08:12With a kite string and a key
08:15Is there electricity?
08:18In a bowl of lightning?
08:20Let's see.
08:21Wait.
08:22What's happening now?
08:23This is it, Bob.
08:24The big finish.
08:25Viral.
08:26Are you sure this is a good idea?
08:28He's not throwing away his.
08:32Huh?
08:33Viral.
08:38Bob, are you okay?
08:40That was quite a jolt.
08:43Where...
08:43Where am I?
08:45You're here with us, Bob.
08:47At the theater.
08:49Oh, right.
08:50That was a serious stunt.
08:53Did we go viral?
08:54Did it work?
08:56What are the numbers?
08:57Oh, right.
08:58Yes.
08:59The stream.
09:01Which button is it?
09:02Oh, dear.
09:04You didn't start the live stream?
09:07I just got struck by lightning
09:10And you didn't start the live stream?
09:13One more time?
09:15This is exactly why
09:16Guy Broccoli is number one.
09:19Yes, I am.
09:22Huh?
09:22I am Guy Broccoli.
09:24Number one vegetable stage star.
09:26Ten years running.
09:27Thanks for noticing.
09:28Guy Broccoli.
09:30What are you doing in my theater?
09:33Your leaf is on fire.
09:35I'll help you, Bob.
09:40Here.
09:43Yes.
09:44Well, it's a little embarrassing.
09:45I'm on my way to the Guy Broccoli Theater on Guy Broccoli Drive to warm up for tonight's show.
09:50And I just finished off my third latte.
09:52Double pump, half-calf, knee-high to the chai.
09:54It's my signature drink.
09:56The Broccoli Special.
09:58I've tried it.
09:59It's really good.
10:01Yes, it is.
10:02Anyway, I suddenly realized I need to use the restroom.
10:05Would it be possible to use your restroom, Bob?
10:07Then I'll be on my way.
10:09Haven't missed a show in ten years, you know.
10:11Uh, sure you can use my bathroom.
10:14We wouldn't want you to miss your show.
10:17You're the best, Bob.
10:19Well, the second best.
10:22Bob, isn't that the broken door that won't open from the inside?
10:27Oh, you're right.
10:28He'll get stuck in there.
10:29Uh, Mr. Broccoli?
10:31Yes, Bob?
10:33Oh, nothing.
10:36Right.
10:37I'll be out in the jiff.
10:39Or maybe not.
10:41Bob, what are you doing?
10:43Hey, what's happening?
10:45Isn't that the broken door?
10:46Yes, and Bob didn't even tell him.
10:49Well, we're gonna let him out, right?
10:51Sure we are.
10:52Just as soon as it's too late for him to make tonight's show.
10:56Wait, what?
10:57Why should Guy Broccoli be number one?
11:00Is he trying to help kids?
11:02No.
11:03What's going on?
11:05Bob trapped Guy Broccoli in the bathroom,
11:07and he's not letting him out until he misses his show tonight.
11:10Bob, you said we need to persevere.
11:14So I'm persevering.
11:15Not quitting.
11:16Just, just doing something not so good to make something good happen faster.
11:23Not quitting isn't all God asks for, Bob.
11:26In the Bible, perseverance means never getting tired of doing good.
11:31We do things the right way, even if it's hard.
11:35That's in the Bible?
11:36I need to tell you a Bible story about a trip to the bathroom.
11:42Excuse me?
11:43Bob, Larry, Archibald, grab your costumes and meet me on stage.
11:49What about Mr. Broccoli?
11:51He'll be fine for a few minutes.
11:53This is important.
11:55Alright then.
11:56Bible stories about bathrooms?
12:01And now, we take you back to Ancient Israel, where Bob the Tomato has a TV interview with the one,
12:10the only, King David.
12:15This is Bob the Tomato, here with David, King of Israel.
12:20Well, technically, I'm not king yet.
12:23Oh.
12:24This is Bob the Tomato, here with young David, Shepherd Boy.
12:30No, I'm all grown up.
12:32God says I'm gonna be king.
12:34It just hasn't happened yet.
12:36Well, did he say how long it's gonna be before...
12:39They're coming!
12:40They're coming!
12:41Run!
12:42Run!
12:42Quick!
12:43Get out of here!
12:45Can I ask who we're running from?
12:48King Saul!
12:50We used to be friends, but now he wants to kill me!
12:53What?
12:54Why does he want to kill you?
12:56Long story.
12:58He and his army are on my trail.
13:00Whenever they show up, we gotta run!
13:03I think we lost them!
13:05We can stop here!
13:07Right.
13:08Okay.
13:09Rolling.
13:11So, King David, sorry, not yet King David.
13:14Are you excited about being king soon?
13:18Oh, yeah.
13:19Super excited.
13:21I really think I can do a lot of good when I'm king.
13:25Tell me about a few of your ideas for...
13:27They're coming!
13:28They're coming!
13:29They're coming!
13:29What?
13:30This is ridiculous!
13:32How long have you been living like this?
13:35Oh, about five years now.
13:38Five years?
13:40And this is okay with you?
13:43It's not my favorite.
13:44I'm just trying to do what's right.
13:46We can stop here.
13:48If you're trying to do something good and it's not working, you can give up or maybe you can do
13:57things to make it go faster.
13:58I guess so.
14:00Even if those things maybe aren't always completely good?
14:06What are you saying?
14:07Someone is coming!
14:09Everyone!
14:10Hide!
14:13It's King Saul!
14:16He is alone without his army.
14:19I'll be right back.
14:20I just have to go to the bathroom.
14:23They have bathrooms in the Bible?
14:26He is headed for that cave.
14:28Ah, a cave.
14:30Right.
14:30Not yet, King David.
14:32This is your chance.
14:34I don't have to go to the bathroom.
14:36Your chance to make things go faster.
14:38To become king!
14:41Right.
14:41Faster.
14:42Wait.
14:43What are you saying he should do?
14:45You can do so much good when you are king.
14:48You are tired of waiting, no?
14:50If you are trying to do something good, sometimes you have to do things to make it go faster.
14:57Even if those things are not so good.
15:01Right, Samantha?
15:02Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
15:05Maybe you are right.
15:06No!
15:07I was talking about little not good things.
15:11King Saul wants to kill you.
15:14Sometimes you have to do things that are not so good to make the good happen faster.
15:20Not yet, King David.
15:22I didn't mean, I didn't mean you should.
15:26Yes, two men went into the cave.
15:29How many would come out?
15:31Is it okay to do something bad to make something good happen faster?
15:37I didn't say bad, I just said not so good.
15:42And the difference is?
15:44Well, it's just, uh...
15:47Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give
15:54up.
15:55Someone is coming!
15:57Hide!
16:02What did you do?
16:04What did you do?
16:06What did you do?
16:06Shhh!
16:08Get down!
16:09He's coming!
16:11Who?
16:12Shhh!
16:14Sorry that took so long.
16:16They were all out of paper towels.
16:17I had to dry my hands on my robe.
16:20Ha!
16:22Which now has a bigger hole in it.
16:24Where did that come from?
16:27Oh well.
16:28Coming!
16:31You didn't do anything bad?
16:33I couldn't.
16:34God made Saul the king.
16:35And God can make Saul not the king whenever he wants.
16:38I don't want to give up on being king, but even more important,
16:41I don't want to give up on doing what's right.
16:43But you could have sped things up.
16:45By doing something bad, let us not grow weary of doing good.
16:50For in due season we will reap if we do not give up.
16:53Is that in the Bible?
16:55Did you cut his robe?
16:59Yeah.
16:59I can show Saul that I could have done something bad, but I didn't.
17:03Maybe that'll help.
17:04David could have done something bad and become king much faster.
17:10But he trusted God and God's timing.
17:13He didn't give up.
17:14He persevered in doing good and eventually became the best king Israel ever had.
17:22I did?
17:22That's fantastic!
17:23He just had to keep doing what was right?
17:27He just had to keep doing what was right and trusting God.
17:31And everyone learned a great lesson that day.
17:35Right, Bob?
17:37I wanna do good, but it's going too slow.
17:40Been working real hard, got nothing to show.
17:43I feel stuck in the ice like an Eskimo.
17:46Like I'm walking around the walls of Jericho.
17:48God told David he was gonna be king.
17:51You'll get the robe, you'll get the royal ring.
17:54But years go by, he ain't king at all.
17:57Instead he's running for his life from old King Saul.
17:59He might have got tired, he might have got bored.
18:03He might have said,
18:03Hey, excuse me Lord, would maybe this plan accelerate?
18:08If I could do something that's not so great.
18:11But instead he said,
18:12You know what's best.
18:14He didn't hurt Saul, he passed the test.
18:16It took some time, but now we sing.
18:19As Israel's got their very best king.
18:23So don't grow tired of doing good.
18:28No, don't give up.
18:31Do what you should.
18:34Trust in God, we're in his hands.
18:39As even Bob now understands.
18:45Don't grow tired of doing good.
18:51Trust in God, you know you should.
18:56And don't give up, keep doing right.
19:01Cause soon you'll see God's plan in sight.
19:07You got goals, you want them faster.
19:10You wanna be a teacher or a nurse or a pastor.
19:13Until that day is finally here.
19:16In all good things let's persevere.
19:18So don't grow tired of doing good.
19:23Be like, hey, we understand.
19:29That God knows how our story ends.
19:35And I left somebody stuck in the bathroom.
19:37Hello?
19:39Hello?
19:41The door is stuck.
19:45Hello?
19:46Mr. Broccoli, I'm so sorry.
19:49The door seems to be stuck.
19:52Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
19:54I hope you're not too late for your show.
19:57No, I should be fine.
19:59But you're out of paper towels.
20:03And life imitates art.
20:06Keep up the good work, Mr. Broccoli.
20:08Your show is really great.
20:11And you too, Bob.
20:13You might wanna fix that door.
20:17Right.
20:18We will.
20:19Definitely.
20:23Well, I feel like I learned something really important today.
20:28Even if something good is taking a long, long time,
20:32I can persevere.
20:34I can keep going because I trust God's timing.
20:38So, Enrique, even though it's hard sometimes,
20:41keep trying to help people.
20:43It's worth it.
20:44If only we had a voice about this.
20:47Yeah.
20:47I don't have anything.
20:50Not to fear, tomato.
20:52Your verse angel is here.
20:55Thank you, verse angel.
20:57I'm glad you persevered.
21:00Cute, Larry.
21:01Let's see.
21:03And let us not grow weary of doing good,
21:06for in due season we will reap,
21:08if we do not give up.
21:11Galatians 6, 9.
21:13Ha!
21:13That was in the Bible.
21:15Who knew?
21:16It can be tempting to give up,
21:19or to do things that aren't so good,
21:21if they'll make our plans happen faster.
21:24But we can trust God's timing,
21:26and keep on doing what's right,
21:28no matter what.
21:29So, you're gonna keep doing the show?
21:32I'm gonna keep doing the show.
21:34Remember, God made you special.
21:37And he loves you very much.
21:39Goodbye!
21:40Bye!
21:40Bye!
21:41Bye!
22:06Bye-bye!
22:09Oh, my God.
22:44Oh, my God.
