00:31Okay, let me see the lion tamer costume again.
00:34This feels like a police uniform to me.
00:37Because it is a police uniform.
00:40Alrighty then.
00:42A creative genius must work with what she has.
00:46And she does not have much.
00:49And what about the lion costume?
00:54Almost as good.
00:55A wild wallaby.
00:57Why didn't you just order the costumes I asked for?
01:01Because someone spent the rest of our costume money on a pizza party.
01:06We love pizza.
01:08Pepperoni.
01:09You still need to approve the wigs for this week's show.
01:13Bob!
01:22Oh boy.
01:24Uh, sorry Mr. Nezzer, I don't know what you're talking about.
01:28Bob, it's the leaky pipes.
01:30It's the water in my office, the water in the basement, and now the steam pipes are cracked.
01:37Far she lose!
01:38Ever since you took over my theater, it's been falling apart.
01:43It was falling apart long before that.
01:45Get these leaky pipes fixed, or you can do your show somewhere else.
01:51Oh, my lovely costumes!
01:54Soaking wet!
01:56The steam has ruined them!
01:58We have nothing for the show tonight!
02:01Then we have to come up with a totally new show.
02:04What about the leeks?
02:05I can tie up the pipes with some silk scarves.
02:09This place could use a splash of color.
02:12It's not as bad as it looks.
02:23Are we ready for the big finale where we all sing by candlelight?
02:28Uh...
02:29Um, there was a little mix-up.
02:32No!
02:33I ordered candles!
02:35Not camels!
02:36Uh, maybe Khalil can do a one-man band number or something.
02:40Khalil's on tour, remember?
02:42He's off promoting his self-help book,
02:44Inch by Inch, A Worm's Guide to Success.
02:48Great.
02:48That's it.
02:49No costumes.
02:51No candles.
02:52We're gonna have to cancel the show.
02:54Why don't we do what we always do?
02:56Answer letters from kids.
02:58Listen to this one from a little girl named Shana.
03:01Dear Bob and Larry,
03:02My parents say that all I do is complain.
03:05They say I should stop complaining and start being more thankful,
03:09but I don't see anything to be thankful about.
03:12I know how she feels.
03:15Then let's do a show about it.
03:17About complaining?
03:18That sounds like the worst show ever.
03:21Are you complaining about a show about complaining?
03:24Yes, I'm complaining.
03:26And I'm complaining about your complaining about his complaining.
03:30This is fun.
03:32How about a show on thankfulness?
03:36Fine then, thankfulness.
03:37It is what it is.
03:44Get your sister, get your brother,
03:46call your uncle and your mother.
03:48If you're missing any other of the people that you know,
03:51we're going to start the show.
03:56It's the VeggieTales Show.
03:58Live on stage.
03:59It's the VeggieTales Show.
04:01For every age.
04:02It's the VeggieTales Show.
04:04I'm in the cage.
04:05It's the VeggieTales Show.
04:12It's the VeggieTales Show.
04:17Okay, let's get ready for act two.
04:19Good news and bad news, old buddy.
04:21Oh, really?
04:22The bad news is that we have no opening act.
04:25And what's the good news?
04:27My tap dancing bagpipe act is finally ready.
04:36Stop.
04:38Jimmy, Jerry, what was the name of that song you auditioned last week?
04:43Good news, bad news.
04:45Well, good news, you're doing it next.
04:48Yay!
04:49Hooray!
04:54I'm a bad news guy, cause my days are bleak.
04:58I'm a good news guy, every day of the week.
05:01I've got some bad news, I woke up late for school.
05:05But it's good news, extra sleep was cool.
05:08I've got some bad news, a rip in my sweater.
05:11But it's good news, old sweaters are better.
05:18I've got some bad news, it rained for hours.
05:22But it's good news, I needed that shower.
05:26But it's bad news, I stepped in a puddle.
05:29But that's good news, that's where dots like to cuddle.
05:34So?
05:35Bad news, good news, it all depends on how it ends or how the road bends.
05:40Bad news, good news, so what can you do?
05:45Change up your point of view.
05:47I've got some bad news, the dentist is scary.
05:51But it's good news, this stuff tastes like cherry.
05:54I've got some bad news, I dropped a pot fly.
05:57But it's good news, I exercise.
06:01I wish I had a day like you.
06:04We had the same day, but different attitudes.
06:10Bad news, good news, it all depends on how your friends or how the road bends.
06:15Bad news, good news, what can you do?
06:19Bad news, good news, it all depends on how your friends or how the road bends.
06:25Bad news, good news, what can you do?
06:28Change up your point of view.
06:29Ah!
06:35This is like a live stage production of my worst nightmare.
06:39And now the whole stage looks like a desert.
06:43Lots of Bible stories took place in the desert.
06:45Like a very famous story about complaining.
06:48Right.
06:49I think I'm catching on.
06:51Pa Grape, how would you like to play Moses?
06:54I'll get my beard.
07:05In the time of Exodus, in the sandy land of Egypt, lived the Israelites, God's chosen people.
07:14They did not live free, but as slaves to the mighty Pharaoh.
07:23When is quitting time?
07:26Well, on the schedule, it says never.
07:29Pharaoh was a proud leader.
07:32So proud that he refused the request of God's messenger, Moses.
07:37Hi, I'm Moses.
07:39Let my people go.
07:41Hard pass.
07:42What?
07:43You heard me.
07:44I ain't never, ever, ever letting you slaves go.
07:48Now get back to work.
07:50God's wrath will be great.
07:52You will be plagued with plagues.
07:56Ah, go build another pyramid.
07:59Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you.
08:06God has strucken the land with plagues.
08:10Yes, terrible plagues.
08:15Oh no, the water has turned to blood.
08:24Yes, they're loving it.
08:26Cue the next plague.
08:28Ah, everywhere.
08:30There's so many of them.
08:37Oh no, a cloud of light.
08:39Why, I'm so weepy.
08:44Oh!
08:51Ah, light!
08:53Ah!
08:54Ah!
08:55Ah!
08:57Ah!
08:57Ah!
08:58Ah!
08:59Ah!
08:59Stop opening jars!
09:01Jimmy, Jerry, you're up.
09:03Our livestock has been infected.
09:07Woo-hoo!
09:08Ah!
09:09Ah!
09:09That's a blink of polka dots!
09:11Ah!
09:12Ah!
09:13Ah!
09:14Ah!
09:14Ah!
09:15Ah!
09:16Ah!
09:16Ah!
09:16Ah!
09:16Ah!
09:16Ah!
09:17Ah!
09:18Ah!
09:18Ah!
09:19Ah!
09:20Ah!
09:21Ah!
09:22I need a doctor!
09:24Is there a polka-nodologist in the house?
09:28Ah!
09:31Ah!
09:33Ah!
09:37And then darkness came over the land, as you can see.
09:43Fine, you win, you can go.
09:46Let's see how long you last in the wilderness.
09:50We did it!
09:51We're free!
09:53Not exactly.
09:55Ah!
09:55Joshua!
09:56And Caleb!
09:57What news do you have?
09:58The pharaoh seems to have changed his mind.
10:01The pharaoh seems to have changed his mind.
10:01His soldiers are hot on our heels!
10:07Um...
10:08And we're trapped at the edge of the Red Sea!
10:10I don't think all these people can swim.
10:13And I didn't pack my water wings!
10:15Then God will give us a way across!
10:19And indeed God did!
10:22The Red Sea was parted in two!
10:25It's amazing!
10:27It's a miracle!
10:29That was the biggest shower curtain I've ever seen.
10:35Off they went, in the wake of God's miracles!
10:39Into the endless desert, on their way to the Promised Land!
10:44And when exactly do we get to this Promised Land?
10:49I don't know.
10:50Have faith!
10:51I'm sure we'll get there any day now!
10:54God has sent us a pillar of clouds to guide us in the day,
10:58and a pillar of fire by night!
11:00God gives us such miracles!
11:03What about water?
11:05God will provide that too!
11:10Ooh!
11:11Another miracle!
11:14But not everyone was impressed.
11:16Among them were a few complainers.
11:19That was literally their name.
11:22This was the complainer family,
11:24and their last name was well-earned.
11:27There was Dwayne Complainer.
11:29Why did we have to walk through the Red Sea?
11:33And Elaine Complainer?
11:35Couldn't God have sent a boat?
11:38They're two teenagers, Zane Complainer.
11:40I've got sand in my pants.
11:43And Jane Complainer?
11:45It's hot!
11:46And of course their youngest daughter, Marsha.
11:49My name doesn't even rhyme!
11:52Something I can help you with?
11:54God's miracles not enough for you?
11:57It's not that we don't appreciate our freedom.
12:00We do!
12:00But we did have a roof over our heads back in Egypt.
12:06You mean when you were slaves?
12:08But even as slaves, we did eat every night.
12:12From the slave food.
12:14The slave food they fed you in your slave bowls.
12:18As slaves?
12:19I could really go for a smoothie from a rock.
12:23Are you serious?
12:24God sent the plagues to deliver us from Egypt.
12:27He parted the Red Sea.
12:29He leads us with a pillar of smoke in the day,
12:32and a pillar of fire by night.
12:34That was cool.
12:36But what now?
12:37Now we head for the Promised Land as free people.
12:42After so many years of wandering in the desert,
12:46the Israelites began to forget God's goodness.
12:50Not much on the schedule for tomorrow.
12:53Just more wandering.
12:56Well, we could play I Spy.
12:58I'll start.
13:00I Spy Something Brown.
13:03It's sand, just like the last time we played.
13:06Maybe it's not sand.
13:08Maybe this time I picked something else.
13:11Oh, okay.
13:12I give up.
13:13Just kidding.
13:14It's sand.
13:15I can't believe I'm saying it,
13:18but I wish we'd never left Egypt.
13:21At least in Egypt, El Mastil's fed us.
13:25I wasn't born yet,
13:26but it was probably better than being stuck out here
13:29in the middle of nowhere.
13:31We should build an idol.
13:32A big one.
13:33A bunny.
13:36Yeah.
13:37A giant golden bunny.
13:40Yay!
13:42Yippee!
13:42I cannot believe what I'm hearing.
13:53Ooh!
13:55Uh-oh, we're busted.
13:58I come down from praying to hear you all disrespecting the God that brought us here.
14:03And where has he brought us? Nowhere.
14:07God has not forgotten us. You have forgotten God.
14:12Ooh, watch out! Moses is mad!
14:15He looks like he's in one of his tablet-smashing moods.
14:19You're right I'm mad.
14:22We left Egypt with just a few complainers, but now I'm surrounded by him.
14:27Have you forgotten what he's done?
14:29Forgetting brings complaining, but remembering brings thankfulness.
14:36It would have been enough, remember this is true.
14:43It would have been enough, that's why we sing Dayenu.
14:52Dayenu? Is that the name of a new vacation resort? Sounds nice.
14:56No, Dayenu is a Hebrew word that means, it would have been enough.
15:02What would have been enough?
15:04As in, even if God never does another miracle, I can be thankful for what he's already done.
15:10Because it's enough.
15:13If he had only split the sea, or only stopped our enemies.
15:20If he had just delivered us, it would have been enough.
15:27If he had only kept us fed, surviving in the wilderness.
15:33Unless if only water, food and stuff, it would have been enough.
15:41Dayenu?
15:43Dayenu?
15:44Dayenu?
15:45Dayenu?
15:46Dayenu?
15:47It would have been enough.
15:49Dayenu?
15:49I get it now.
15:50I get it now.
15:50If he had only given man up, only 10 commandments.
15:55And a place he promised just for us, it would have been enough.
16:00If he had only brought the plagues and led us out of Egypt's chains,
16:05But he has given more to us, it's much more than enough.
16:10Dayenu?
16:12Dayenu?
16:13Dayenu?
16:13Dayenu?
16:14Dayenu?
16:18Dayenu?
16:25I've forgotten all the ways, he saves me each and every day.
16:32If I complain, I need to say, it would have been enough.
16:45And while Moses never lived to enter the Promised Land, his two spies, Joshua and Caleb, did.
16:53Can you see it?
16:54Yes, I see it!
16:56The Promised Land!
16:57It looks beautiful!
17:06Great show!
17:07Especially for not even planning a show.
17:09Yeah.
17:11It really was a great show, wasn't it?
17:14Throw the big party, because I am back!
17:17Khalil!
17:18How was your book tour?
17:19Oh boy, let me tell you.
17:21I love to chit-chat about my wonderful book, but I was in some terrible theaters.
17:27Old theaters.
17:28Dusty theaters.
17:29Places where the stage was nothing but cardboard boxes.
17:33Places where nobody cared if the lights were on or not.
17:36Wow.
17:37Makes our theater sound like Radio City Music Hall.
17:41I know this place needs a lot of work.
17:43But it's filled with people who care about it.
17:46And about each other.
17:57Thanks.
18:01You know, tonight's show is really kinda special.
18:04A sweet little girl named Shana asked us how she could be more thankful and less of a complainer.
18:13It was at that moment that I realized I was becoming a complainer too.
18:18And in a way, I feel like this show was just for me.
18:22Thanking God is more than just saying thanks.
18:25When we're thankful, we remember the wonderful things God has done for us.
18:30He's given us the Bible to read, prayer to talk to Him whenever we want, and Jesus.
18:37If we remember what God's already given us, we can be thankful any time, even in the hard times.
18:45Well said.
18:46You know, this reminds me of a poem.
18:49As thankful as I am for your wonderful poems, I'd rather hear what the Bible has to say.
18:57And like a gift from heaven, here I come.
19:03Give thanks in everything.
19:05For this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
19:091 Thessalonians 5, 18.
19:13I hope we all can be thankful in everything.
19:17All together now.
19:20Day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day,
19:29day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day,
19:43day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day,
19:47day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day,
19:48day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day,
19:48day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day
19:59Oh, my God!
20:25Oh, well, we needed to shake the dust off this curtain anyway.
20:29Remember, kids, God made you special, and he loves you very much.
20:34Bye!
20:56Bye!
