00:00Hello, people. I'm Howie, and this is Bobby, and welcome to another show.
00:05No, Howie. This is Bobby's world.
00:08I know that. What are you talking about?
00:12Well, you said, welcome to another show. We don't work on another show. We work on this show.
00:18Well, that's what I meant. I mean, if they're watching, then they know it's this show.
00:24How do you know they're not watching another show?
00:26Well, some people are, but I'm not talking to them.
00:28Then neither am I. How dare they?
00:33Just start the show.
00:38How do you know they're not watching another show?
01:17Oh, I love book sales. They just cranked my gee-golly motor, don't you know?
01:23Mom, Mom, I want to get new books, too. Can I? Can I?
01:29Perhaps you would like to join our storytelling group. It will give you a chance to sit down and cool
01:36your busy little jets.
01:38Oh, a little quiet story time. Doesn't that just sound like fun there, no?
01:44No.
01:46Welcome to our story circle, boys and girls. Now, who has a favorite story they'd like to hear?
01:52I have a favorite story. I do. I do.
01:54And your name is?
01:56Bobby.
01:56All right, Bobby. If you tell me the name of your favorite story, I'll see if I have it here.
02:02This is a really good story, okay? It's about Thanksgiving and the...
02:06Bobby. Bobby. When I asked you about your favorite story, I meant a story that was written down.
02:12That's okay. You don't have to write it down. I have it all in my head.
02:15I remember exactly how it happened. Mom made me a pilgrim costume because I was in the play at school.
02:23Don't forget your pilgrim's hat. That's the best part of the whole shooting match.
02:28Woo! I bet she'll say I look cute in this thing.
02:31Oh, will you look at how gee dolly cute you are there now, yes?
02:36Told you. Everybody was excited about the play. Our family was really excited because right after the play,
02:43we were going to drive to Flagpole, Arizona in a brand new van that Dad had just bought.
02:49We were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa Jennerick for Thanksgiving.
02:54Gerald, why are you dressed like that?
02:57My teacher said to come dressed in a costume.
03:00Some people just don't get it.
03:03Hi, Bobby.
03:05What are you in my line?
03:06When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of turkey. I'll never forget it. I memorized it.
03:13That's very professional, Bobby. Some of the kids are coming over to my house after the play. You want to
03:19come?
03:19We're leaving right after the play to go to Flagpole, Arizona for Thanksgiving.
03:24Everybody's excited about it but me. I want to stay home and do what we always do.
03:28Because doing something else might not be any fun.
03:31Hey, what's with Clark?
03:35Oof! I hate this dumb hat.
03:37What are you doing, Clark?
03:40Hiding.
03:41I've never been in a play before and I'm scared.
03:45But there's nothing to be scared about.
03:47That's why they call it a play.
03:49Because it's supposed to be fun.
03:55There's too many people.
03:58Uh-oh. I think I'm scared.
04:06Ow!
04:08Ow!
04:08Um...
04:09Um...
04:10Um...
04:11When we think of Thanksgiving...
04:15Um...
04:16Oh, excuse me.
04:17Excuse me.
04:18Oh, excuse me.
04:19Please.
04:20Oh, ow, ow.
04:21Excuse me.
04:22Oh, doesn't that beat all?
04:24We're in the wrong row here, then.
04:27Excuse me.
04:28Oh, excuse me.
04:29Oh, excuse me.
04:30Excuse me.
04:32When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of turkey.
04:36There.
04:37Oh, Howard, get this precious moment on camcorder for the cry-eye.
04:41Look over here, Albert.
04:43Marcy, wave to Mommy. Here I am.
04:45Look over here, Bobby.
04:46Over here, son.
04:48This is great.
04:50Look at that, Bobby.
04:52Okay, now do...
04:53Do something cute.
04:56Hey, man.
04:57Look at Bobby.
04:58Hey, man.
05:00I guess parents are made to be embarrassing.
05:06Bye, Bobby.
05:08See ya.
05:09That was another embarrassing thing.
05:11How far away did that park?
05:13Because we had a new car.
05:15Stupid hat.
05:17How much further, Howard?
05:19Not far.
05:21Oh, for corn's sakes.
05:22Where'd you park, Howard?
05:23On a desert island?
05:24Desert island?
05:30I'm just slowing you down, don't you know?
05:34Go on without me.
05:37No, Mom.
05:38We're going to the new car, and we're going to get there together.
05:41What in the Samuels of Wisconsin is that?
05:45A Futurama.
05:46Isn't it a beauty?
05:48It was designed for nothing but comfort.
05:59Do I have to hold Roger the whole way?
06:02You'll all have to take turns with Roger on your lap.
06:05And watch out for the cooler back there.
06:08I don't want anybody knocking over my corn pudding, don't you know?
06:12Mom, does Bobby have to wear this stupid hat?
06:15It's totally taking up all the room.
06:17All of a sudden, I was really starting to like my hat.
06:22Mom!
06:33What are you trying to do, Aunt Ruth?
06:35Well, I can't for the life of me figure out how to turn this halogen-powered, state-of-the-art
06:41reading light on, Bobby.
06:43Maybe you have to push one of these buttons.
06:45Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
06:48Woo!
06:49Yeah!
06:50Roger, Roger!
06:51Watch out!
06:52Off me!
06:55Oh, that's all over it, you dear.
06:57Okay, everybody, we have a long trip ahead of us,
07:00so I suggest that we all just sit back and enjoy traveling in the van of the future.
07:07The van of the future?
07:13Wow, this is great!
07:16Uh-oh, stop!
07:18Gotta go to the bathroom.
07:21Not now!
07:23Wait, what happened in our space?
07:25Yeah, did you ever get to your grandmama's house?
07:28I really can't say.
07:29And why is that, Bobby?
07:31Gotta go to the bathroom!
07:34But I'll tell you the rest when I come back.
07:42I'm back!
07:47I'm sure we're all glad to have Bobby back,
07:50but now, how about the story of how Mr. and Mrs. Blue Jay built their nest?
07:56No, I wasn't your Bobby story!
07:58No, I'm not your Bobby story!
08:00Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby!
08:05In that case, why don't you finish your story, dear?
08:09Okay.
08:10Uh, where was I?
08:13You were in the van of the future in outer space!
08:16Yeah, so this is the rest of what happened.
08:29What was happening?
08:32What was happening?
08:32Were you getting hit by a monster meteor shower?
08:36Uh, yeah.
08:37Yeah, yeah, that's it.
08:38A monster meteor shower.
08:41Go left, Dad!
08:43Go right!
08:44Go left!
08:45Go left!
08:46Dive under the big ones!
08:48Whoa, Bobby, for corn's sakes, hold it down there.
08:52Heh, you're driving everybody crazy with that jiggly talk in there.
09:04Huh?
09:25I can't help it, Mom!
09:26And you doing something new would be no fun.
09:29Oh, look on the bright side, Bobbo.
09:31By the time the sun comes up, we'll be at the Socks in the Cam Museum and be first in
09:35line for the guided tour.
09:36Oh, nobody's going on any tours, Ted.
09:39Get the maps, Martha.
09:41We're going to have to reroute the whole trip.
09:43We should be able to make better time going north.
09:45Yes.
09:45Yeah, yeah.
09:46North is up, right?
09:48Sure.
09:48Yeah, you bet.
09:49Okay.
09:50Let's take a look-see here and make a battle plan then.
09:54Yeah.
09:54A battle plan?
09:58This is war.
10:00It's us against the other cars.
10:01We'll fight them on highways, on the off-ramps, and in the carpool lanes.
10:06We'll fight and we'll win.
10:08Right.
10:08I see we'll get off on the Slosson exit, hang a ride at the Grass Valley Cut-Off,
10:13and beat every other car on the road.
10:15Too boring.
10:16I say we win with gadgets.
10:22What do you say, General Bobby?
10:24I see.
10:25I don't know how much more of this my corn pudding can take.
10:31Howard, I need fresh ice.
10:33We're minutes away from clot and curdle here.
10:41Can I have some fried fruit on a stick, some grease jerky?
10:45No.
10:46And no.
10:46And don't ask me about any other gee golly junk food either.
10:51Oop.
10:52Okay.
10:53Then can I ask you about how come most of the people here have more fingers than teeth?
10:57Bobby, mute your bugle, Bobby.
10:59Let's go round up a bag of cubes.
11:02This is great.
11:03I'm getting all my Christmas shopping done in one place.
11:06I didn't get any petrified dinosaur fruit I wanted.
11:09And we still had a long time to go before we got to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
11:13I was starting to really not like this trip.
11:18But then I saw something that made me feel a lot better.
11:21Kelly was going to drive.
11:23And that was good because she always drives really fast.
11:34Hold it right there!
11:36Kelly never even made it out of the parking lot.
11:44How's it going, Bubbo?
11:45Not so good, Uncle Ted.
11:47There's nothing to do in here.
11:49It's too dark to see anything out there.
11:51I was just thinking about how we're all alone in our little van out here.
11:56And how the pilgrims were all alone out on the ocean in their little boat.
12:00Both of us trying to get somewhere and wondering how long it was going to take.
12:04Yeah.
12:05Just like the pilgrims.
12:14Yo ho ho, are we there yet?
12:16Okay, so we've been at sea for two months and like this ocean air is making my hair totally frizz,
12:22okay?
12:22Never fear, pilgrim Kelly.
12:26With Captain Bobby at the helm, we'll be there before you know it.
12:30I've got a corn pudding here that's not long for this world, you know.
12:33Let's see a little less show and a lot more gee golly go, Captain Bobby.
12:37You've got us, pilgrim Mom.
12:42Whoops, that's an upset stomach.
12:47Oh, big pardon.
12:48What's the matter, Uncle Ted?
12:50Oh, not feeling so good, Bubbo.
12:52Must have been that six pack of jumbo extra spicy garlic chili cheese corn dogs I ate while I was
12:57doing my shopping.
12:58You think?
12:59Oh, Ted, why don't you let me get behind the wheel for a while?
13:03That sounds like a great idea, Ruthie.
13:05It sounded like a great idea, but it wasn't.
13:26And Ruth, we're still here.
13:29What happened?
13:30You were supposed to be driving.
13:31Well, I know that, but I got up here and then I realized I didn't pack my driving glasses.
13:37And, well, you were all resting so peacefully and I didn't want to wake you up, so I just took
13:42a little naperewski of my own.
13:44What?
13:45What did you just say?
13:47I can't believe this, Ruth.
13:51Dad was pretty mad.
13:52But he was really mad when he couldn't get the van started.
13:57Oh, for crying out loud!
13:59Ruth, you left the lights on and now the battery's in!
14:04Yep, we were all alone, stuck in the middle of nowhere.
14:09And you know what that means?
14:11We were in trouble.
14:14Yep, our car was broken down in the middle of nowhere.
14:18And we were in big trouble.
14:20But this is taking a really long time, so maybe you want to talk now.
14:25No, no, no.
14:25My story can wait.
14:26I want to find out what happened to you.
14:28Well, that's when things started to get exciting.
14:34What in the name of 24-hour roadside assistance are we going to do now, then, yet?
14:40Okay, here's the plan.
14:41Derek and Bobby and I can go and try to find a phone somewhere and we'll call for help.
14:45Hold it right there, Miss Spandex Pants.
14:48If we're going to be lost in the wilderness, you're going to stay put so we can all be lost
14:53together, don't you know?
14:54I wasn't exactly sure what Mom was saying, but I knew one thing.
14:58Together or alone, we were lost.
15:01I can't believe this, Ted.
15:03Yep, it's true, Howard.
15:04We're right smack dab in the heart of Indian country.
15:08We are?
15:08How do you know, Uncle Ted?
15:10Well, I saw the same road in that TV movie of the week last week.
15:13You know, the one about the group of Indians who were taken over by space aliens and then later on...
15:19Indians!
15:20Indians!
15:21Who might really be aliens!
15:24Wow.
15:26You must have seen drums along the Milky Way.
15:28I watched it with my Uncle Ted.
15:30Are you aliens or real Indians?
15:33Native Americans is the politically correct term, son.
15:36But you can call me Douglas.
15:38And I'm Franklin.
15:39And I'm Bobby.
15:40And I'm American, too.
15:42Nice to meet you, Bobby.
15:43Hi.
15:44I'm Howard Generic.
15:45And boy, am I glad to see you.
15:48The battery's dead.
15:49Can I borrow some jumper cables?
15:51Sorry, I don't have any.
15:53And there's no gas stations around here.
15:55But I can offer you a tow to my family's place.
15:57We were just on the way there for Thanksgiving.
15:59Well, thanks a lot.
16:00That would be great.
16:02Yep.
16:02Franklin and Douglas were gonna take us to their house.
16:05And just wait till you see where they lived.
16:11Wow.
16:12Look at all these neat Indian teepees.
16:16Is this where you live?
16:17Although a lot of Native Americans lived in wigwams, not all of them used homes like these.
16:23Actually, this is a hotel.
16:24It belongs to our grandfather.
16:26How else would he get plumbers to come over on Thanksgiving?
16:29Oh, that's a good one.
16:31Hey, hey, I've got one for you.
16:32What did the plumber say when he pulled the rabbit out of the sink?
16:35Hair in the drain.
16:37I love that one.
16:39Hey, who knew that one?
16:40You got any others?
16:42As soon as we jumped into our teepee room, Mom made everybody start taking showers.
16:47And Franklin's wife gave us big towels to wear while our clothes were being washed in the motel laundry.
16:53Sorry, I can't find jumper cables anywhere.
16:55It's Thanksgiving and everybody's out of town.
16:57But tomorrow's another day.
16:59In the meantime, my family would like to invite you to join us for dinner.
17:02Thanksgiving with Indians?
17:04Yay!
17:05Yay!
17:06Whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:07Rain that in there, Bobby.
17:09You know, we don't want to be a bother, you know.
17:12It's no bother.
17:13We'd really like to have you.
17:14And my wife makes a great pumpkin pie.
17:16Whoa, pumpkin pie?
17:17Count me in for a slice.
17:19Good.
17:19Well, as soon as you get dressed, we'll eat.
17:21Well, let's get some fresh clothes and get going.
17:24I am starved.
17:26No can do, Howard.
17:27The suitcases are locked and I think I lost all the keys.
17:30Whoa!
17:31Like, what is happening here?
17:33Well, Bobby looks so cheek-ally cute in his costume.
17:37I thought it'd be a real kick in the pants if we all dressed up for Grandma.
17:43I didn't count on having to wear them for strangers, is all.
17:47Sometimes moms don't know when to stop when it comes to holidays.
18:02You didn't say it was dress up Thanksgiving.
18:06I'm, I'm changing.
18:07Yeah, well, let me just explain away the costumes.
18:11We were going down to visit my father in...
18:14No explanations necessary.
18:15We have a few of our own traditions around here.
18:18I, I forgot what ceremony this is for.
18:23But I love the colors.
18:25Uncle Hoover's getting on in years.
18:27He has trouble remembering a lot of things.
18:30Somebody call the chief. We're about to eat.
18:32A real Indian chief is coming?
18:35He's my grandpa.
18:36Don't wait for me. I'll be there by dessert.
18:40Did you know, Bobby, in the old days, we used to talk to each other using drums.
18:44Really? What's the drum saying?
18:47Hi, how are ya? Hi, how are ya? Hi, how are ya? Hi, how are ya?
18:50Not really. Just a little Indian humor there.
18:54Oh, please have some corn pudding.
18:56I make it every year because it's my Howard's all-time favorite.
19:01No, not me, Martha. I've, I never liked corn pudding that much.
19:04Oh, well, then it must be Kelly's favorite then yet.
19:08Not hardly. Corn gives me tittle and a gesture.
19:11Oh, sorry, sis, but, uh, that stuff really bursts in my gas bubble.
19:15Well, for Oshkosh's sakes, I guess I just won't make it anymore then.
19:21Oh, oh, don't be silly, Martha. It wouldn't, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it.
19:25It's a, it's a generic tradition.
19:28Is the turkey coming soon?
19:29We don't have turkey at Thanksgiving, Bobby. We eat fish.
19:33It's a tradition in our family.
19:35Franklin, you give the blessing.
19:38This Indian blessing is one that my family has said for many years.
19:43We are thankful for all the gifts of life, for the bounty of the earth.
19:48Wow, a real Indian Thanksgiving.
19:51We are thankful for the cool water that soothes our thirst, and for the green grass which nourishes our animals.
19:58We are thankful for the trees of the forest which give us shade.
20:02We are thankful for the beautiful song of the birds, and for the warm rays of the sun, and for
20:08the bright stars in the night sky.
20:11And we are thankful for all the lessons that we have learned from those who have lived before us.
20:16And that's how the Indians we had Thanksgiving with said the blessing before dinner.
20:21And the next day, they helped us fix our van, and we got back home all safe and sound.
20:26And Thanksgiving, I thought was going to be terrible because it was going to be different, turned out to be
20:32really, really great.
20:33That was a wonderful Thanksgiving story, Bobby.
20:37Thanksgiving story? I thought it was a real neat car story.
20:42I guess it's time to say goodbye.
20:44Wait, I just want to say something before we go.
20:47Go ahead.
20:48I just want to say that the Bobby's World audience is the most wonderful audience in the world.
20:55That's not necessary. Sit down.
20:57Okay.
20:58Not you. Stand up.
21:05Bye.
