VeggieTales Sumo of the Opera (TBN UK)
Transcript
00:00Hi, kids. I'm Bob the Tomato. Welcome to VeggieTales.
00:05Now, Larry won't be with us today. He's helping out some kids at a toy drive.
00:10He agreed to volunteer his time to help kids who normally don't have much, and I think that's great.
00:15God loves it when we help others.
00:17Now, Larry thought you might miss him, so he asked me to introduce you to his special friend.
00:21Hello. I am Lutfi, the kindly, teensy-weensy cucumber.
00:27Well, hi, Lutfi. Do you want to say hi to the kids?
00:31Oh, yes. Hello, children. I am friendly and I am kind. And I am teensy-weensy.
00:38That's right. And since Larry is away, you're going to help with the show. Right, Lutfi?
00:43Oh, yes. Even though I am teensy-weensy, I can be a great, big helper.
00:48Well, let's get started.
00:51Uh, I'm sorry. Will you excuse me for a moment? Cover me, Lutfi.
01:00Um...
01:01Hello?
01:02Hi, Larry. I was just talking about you. We just started the show.
01:06Here, let me put you on speaker. Can you hear me?
01:10Yeah, I hear you.
01:12Who's helping?
01:13It is I, Lutfi, the kindly, teensy-weensy cucumber.
01:17Oh, hi, Lutfi. You may be teensy-weensy, but you're a great, big helper, aren't you?
01:22Indeed I am.
01:24Larry, I was just telling the kids about your volunteer work. We're proud of you, buddy.
01:28That's a great thing you're doing. God likes it when we...
01:31Bob, I'm not doing it.
01:33Uh, not doing what?
01:35I'm giving up, Bob. I'm coming home. This whole day has been a big mess.
01:39Huh? What happened?
01:41I didn't think it would be this hard.
01:43I didn't think it would be this hard.
01:45I got on the 151 bus and transferred to the 146, but I forgot to buy a transfer in the 151,
01:50so the bus driver wanted me to buy a whole new ticket, but I ran out of nickels.
01:54So he dropped me off like 12 blocks before I got to the 81 stop,
01:57so I hopped 7 blocks and got on the subway, but I was so tired from hopping that I fell asleep.
02:02But...
02:03So that's where I am now, Bob. On a payphone at the end of the subway line.
02:07I'm giving up and coming home.
02:09You can't quit now. Perhaps Lutfi can help.
02:12Not now, Lutfi. Larry, just think of all the kids you can help today.
02:16And remember, you gave your word. You need to persevere.
02:20Yes, you need to...
02:21Lutfi, let me handle this.
02:23What's that?
02:24What's what?
02:25What's persevere?
02:26Oh, well, perseverance is just a big word that means to keep on keeping on, even when it's hard.
02:32I know that quitting and coming home would be easier, but many things worth doing take hard work.
02:37Don't you want to be a finisher?
02:39Uh, yeah. I'm finished riding on the bus, and I'm finished hopping around the whole town.
02:44Lutfi is a great big helper.
02:46One quarter, Bob. That's all I got.
02:49All right, buddy. Hang on. Roll film!
03:04If you want to know who we are
03:08We are wrestlers of Japan
03:12On many a mat and ring
03:16For many a sumo fan
03:31We are the sumo champion wrestler
03:35A master court and holder of the title
03:38Many have tried but none have beaten him
03:42A fact that is particularly vital
03:46Defer, defer to the sumo champion wrestler
03:53Defer, defer to the champion, to the champion, to the champion sumo wrestler
04:06The Emperor's Sports Network
04:12Ho, ho, ha, ha!
04:14Champion son, champion son, Jim Gordley for ESN, The Emperor's Sports Network.
04:20Apollo Gord, you have a championship match coming up to celebrate the year of the scallion.
04:26Would you care to comment on your opponent, Potato?
04:31Yes, I've got a haiku for Potato.
04:36No way Potato will stay on the mat and linger when I give him a belly ringer.
04:48I don't think that's actually a haiku.
04:51Not even close. Tell him.
04:53I'm not going to tell him. You tell him.
04:56I'm not going to tell him.
04:57Hey, who's the clown climbing into the ring with Potato?
05:01A bit of the clown.
05:05Hey Po, look.
05:11I'm a spring roll.
05:13Oh, yeah, spring roll.
05:16Wait, that's no clown. It's his sparring partner, the Italian Scallion.
05:22Italian Scallion? He's a cucumber.
05:25How'd he get a name like Italian Scallion?
05:27You never heard how that got started?
05:29Story goes he was raised by an onion family known as the Scallions.
05:34Hey!
05:35He never realized he was different and grew up thinking he was a scallion.
05:40Uh, that doesn't make sense.
05:42Sure it does. Plus, scallion only rhymes with like five words and Italian is the catchiest.
05:48No, I mean the silkscreen.
05:50The silkscreen is a theatrical device used to make exposition more visually interesting.
05:55It's avant-garde.
06:01This food. That's good. That was funny.
06:05Quit laughing, Po. You're supposed to be sparring with that joker.
06:09Hey Mikey, have any recycling today?
06:11Help yourself.
06:12Po, look.
06:14Look at that jibba jabba. That's funny.
06:17That's funny.
06:40Oh, my aching back.
06:42Might as well call workman's comp.
06:44It's thrown out again.
06:47Now that's a haiku.
06:50Haiku. Three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. Haiku.
06:56What are you doing, scallion? You're supposed to help Po train, not give him a sprain.
07:02Sorry. I was just joking around.
07:05A joking sumo I, a lad of quips and wisecracks
07:11Who throws his custard pies back where whoopee cushions lie
07:18My shenanigans are long through every end
07:23Decranging and to your humors changing
07:29And to your humors changing
07:32I sing my silly song
07:36I sing my silly song
07:51Sit down.
07:59That's your problem.
08:01You're always joking around.
08:03Look at you.
08:04You said you wanted to be a sumo.
08:07But the minute it got hard, you gave up.
08:10You got no guts, kid.
08:12Well, no gut.
08:13You're skinny.
08:14You could have had seconds, even thighs at the dinner table.
08:17You could have been big.
08:19You never finish anything.
08:21Unless it's a punchline.
08:23Not finish anything.
08:24Name one thing I didn't finish.
08:26Yo, Scallion, did you finish fixing my bike yet?
08:29I need it for my paper route.
08:31Uh, you want a list?
08:37Oh, a pity to me.
08:40What do you mean Bordato is hurt?
08:43Who did it?
08:44Uh, it was an accident.
08:47Champion son, now who will you wrestle for the championship?
08:52Now who will you wrestle for the championship and the prize that goes with it?
09:02Wow.
09:04A tiger bike.
09:06I want the championship.
09:08I don't care about the prize.
09:11I won't have to finish fixing Hadrian's bike if I can have that one.
09:15Hey, I'll take it.
09:17You wrestle Apollo for the championship?
09:20Wrestle Apollo?
09:21I was talking about the bike.
09:23Hmm, how about this, Haiku?
09:26In the year of the Scallion, how about a bout with the Italian Scallion?
09:34Closer.
09:35The champ's only off by two syllables.
09:38No, no, no, forget it.
09:39Apollo's way out of Scallion's league.
09:42Hey, I knocked Potato out of the ring.
09:44He slipped on a banana peel.
09:46Well, it was my fault anyway.
09:48I owe it to Poe.
09:50Tell him I'll take his place.
09:52What did he say?
09:54He got to take his place.
09:56Come here, Scallion, you're a hoot.
09:59That's the funniest joke I've ever heard.
10:02The Italian Scallion in the ring with Apollo Gord because you want a bike?
10:07That joke won't last eight seconds in the ring with Apollo.
10:11Poe, are you all right?
10:14No, really.
10:15I accept the challenge.
10:17What could be so hard about staying in the ring for eight seconds?
10:20I've got jokes with punchlines longer than that.
10:24He's accepted the challenge from Gordon.
10:27They say he's a quitter.
10:28He'd better get fitter or Scallion will surely succumb.
10:31So tame your expressions of glee.
10:34On this subject we pray he'll be mum.
10:36You'll find there are not many who fight for a penny.
10:39This bike's worth a rather large sum.
10:41A very good bargain indeed.
10:43On this subject we pray he'll be mum.
10:46This bike's worth a rather large sum, sum, sum.
10:48You'll find there are not many, not many, not many who fight for a penny.
10:53It's a very good bargain indeed.
10:55It's a very good doctor he'll need.
10:57As you can see, a good bargain indeed.
10:59As you can see, a good doctor he'll need.
11:01Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed.
11:06Kid, why are you doing this?
11:09I owe it to Poe.
11:10And I need that bike.
11:12I owe that to Hadrian.
11:14But Apollo's the champ.
11:16No one's ever stayed in the ring with him longer than eight seconds.
11:20There's always a first time.
11:21But you only have two weeks to train.
11:24How do you expect to stick to it and see it through to the end?
11:27You could help me.
11:28You could be my trainer.
11:30Me?
11:32Oh, you know, kid, in a funny kind of way,
11:35you remind me of myself when I was your age.
11:38Okay, I'll do it.
11:39But you gotta promise to do everything I say.
11:42No matter how ridiculous it seems at the time,
11:44you gotta stick with it and not give up.
11:47Okay, I promise.
11:49Hi-ya!
11:51Big sweeping cycles, big sweeping cycles.
11:56This is training?
11:57I'm mopping the floor.
11:59It's an agility drill.
12:04Hi-ya!
12:08Love your recycling drill, Mikey.
12:10Age is the most important thing any wrestler should have.
12:13I can't sense a balance.
12:18Make that the second most important thing.
12:20Hi-ya!
12:28You gotta keep eating, kid.
12:30I told you getting into shape wasn't gonna be easy.
12:35Here.
12:37Yuck! I'm supposed to drink this?
12:39Of course not. They're raw. You scramble them.
12:45Hi-ya!
13:10I've never heard of training for a sumo match in a recycling set-up.
13:16It'll give Scallion a taste of what it's like to go up against Apollo.
13:20Hi-ya!
13:22Have you made all the arrangements for my victory party?
13:25Oui, oui, champ.
13:26And my post-game interview with Jim Gordly?
13:29Oui, champ!
13:31But what?
13:32Aren't you going to train for the wrestling match?
13:35Train? To fight Scallion?
13:37Is a pushover. I could beat him in my sleep.
13:42For training, he says he'll do none, none, none.
13:45Think Scallion's a quitter, he won't get much fitter.
13:48In seconds, the match will be done, done, done.
13:50Stay tuned, this is just getting fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, so much fun!
13:57Hi-ya!
14:08Oof!
14:09What's the matter, kid?
14:11Training is tough.
14:13I want to show you something.
14:15Who's that clown?
14:17Me, when I was your age.
14:19They called me Mr. Juicy.
14:22Yeah, I goofed around like you.
14:24I never took anything seriously.
14:27But I learned you can change.
14:29The key is sticking it out to the end, even when it's hard.
14:33That's perseverance.
14:35I learned that working hard and finishing well can be very rewarding.
14:41Is that you?
14:43Yep, Alexander the Grape.
14:45Grand sumo champion, three years running.
14:48Before my knee injury, of course.
14:53Look, Scallion.
14:55Sometimes there's a good reason to stop and quit.
14:58But not just because it's too hard.
15:00God asks us to do lots of things that are hard.
15:03But they're good things, and they make us better people.
15:07Most things worth having take hard work.
15:10Perseverance, Scallion.
15:12Perseverance.
15:15That's the problem, Mikey.
15:17I don't got what it takes.
15:19Maybe that's the reason I'm always clowning around.
15:21It's the only thing I'm any good at.
15:23I'm no good at training or wrestling or...
15:26finishing.
15:28I'm only good at making with the jokes.
15:31I... I quit.
15:44Yo, Scallion!
15:46Yo, Hadrian.
15:48Why aren't you training?
15:50I don't know.
15:51Look, Hadrian, about the training...
15:53What's that thing on your head?
15:55Oh, I made it for show and tell.
15:57It's a Scallion headpiece, like you wear.
16:00It felt great to finish it and show everyone, you know?
16:04No, I don't.
16:06I never finished any of my show and tell projects.
16:09Was it hard?
16:11Yeah, but then I figured if you could stick to something,
16:14so could I.
16:16You figured that?
16:18Mm-hmm.
16:22A sumo can't go wrong
16:26When he keeps on keeping on
16:30Put up a fight for what is right
16:34Don't quit until you're done
16:38Until that final bell
16:42God loves it when we finish well
16:47So don't stop
16:51Just keep on keeping on
16:55Just keep on keeping on
17:07Hey, Scallion, you quit yet?
17:09Or are you going to wait till you get in the ring with Apollo?
17:16So, what did you want to tell me about your training?
17:19That I've got to get back to it.
17:22I've got to keep my eye on the tiger.
17:26Oh!
17:52I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you.
18:23Oh, man!
18:25Mm!
18:49Ay-yi! Ay-yi!
18:55Ay-yi!
19:06It's time.
19:08Ay-yi!
19:14The match between Apollo Gord and the Italian Scallion is on!
19:19This is Jim Gordly for ESN,
19:21reminding you that the first sumo to toss his opponent out of the ring wins!
19:27I'm going to bounce you out.
19:31Go for it.
19:37Scallion is in trouble already!
19:40Apollo is pushing him around the ring!
19:43Uh-oh!
19:45Here it comes, fans!
19:47Apollo's infamous belly ringer right at the eight-second mark!
19:56Ladies and gentlemen, it did not work!
19:59Apollo Gord's belly ringer move didn't work!
20:02This is unbelievable!
20:04The challenger is still standing!
20:06Eight seconds have passed and the Italian Scallion is still in the ring!
20:17Ay-yi!
20:22I can't believe it! The Italian Scallion belly bumped Apollo!
20:27Now, kid, bump the floor!
20:31Whoa!
20:35Bump the escalator, kid! Bump the escalator!
20:39Scallion, who was given absolutely no chance at lasting eight seconds,
20:44is pushing Apollo towards the edge of the ring!
20:47He's going for the win!
20:51Wait! The chat is back up!
20:53Did I say unbelievable? That's not big enough!
20:56This is inconceivable!
20:59No, I'm not sure that's a word.
21:01It is? Wait, folks, they're telling me inconceivable is a word!
21:05But inconceivable is more appropriate in this instance!
21:15Whoa!
21:23Oh, my! They both fell out of the ring at the same time!
21:27It's a tie! It's a tie!
21:30That means Apollo is still the champ!
21:34But then, no challenger has ever lasted that long!
21:38He went longer than anybody! He's a winner in my book!
21:45I did it! I persevered!
21:48I feel great!
21:50The feeling of finishing
21:53Is a blossom that blooms in my heart
21:55As I merrily dance and I sing
21:58I welcome the hope that it brings
22:01Of finishing things that I start
22:06And that's what he means when he says finishing
22:10Is welcome as flowers that bloom in the spring
22:33Wait, folks! The story's not over!
22:36Yo, Hadrian! I got something for ya!
22:39The tiger bike? You won the tiger bike?
22:42Well, no, but they gave me the bell.
22:45And finishing is its own reward. I feel great!
22:54Oh, one more thing.
22:56Since I'm going to be a finisher from now on...
22:59You put my bike back together!
23:01Yep! It wasn't easy.
23:03Well, it was easier than wrestling Apollo Gord,
23:06But it still felt great!
23:17Well, Larry, what'd you think?
23:19Are you ready to persevere and keep on keeping on to the toy drive?
23:23If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again.
23:26Larry? Larry?
23:29Oh, no! He must have run out of quarters!
23:32I sure hope he...
23:33Hi, Bob!
23:34Larry! You're back!
23:35Yep. Here I am.
23:37Well, what about the kids?
23:39I don't know how much of the story you heard, but it was...
23:41I pretty much heard the whole thing.
23:43Ran out of quarters right near the end.
23:45But I had a great time with the kids, Bob.
23:47I helped give away toys, and we had sandwiches, took pictures.
23:51You should have seen the look on their faces. It was so cool.
23:54When I heard the busy signal, I thought you'd given up.
23:57Nope. I got right back on the subway,
24:00Got off at the 81 bus, took that to the 49,
24:02Grabbed a burrito, got on the 92,
24:04Hopped three more blocks, and I was there.
24:06Wow. Sounds complicated.
24:08But worth it.
24:09Well, what do you say we talk about what we learned today?
24:12And so what we have learned applies to our lives today
24:17And God has a lot to say in his book.
24:23What happened?
24:24Qwerty? You okay?
24:26Sorry. Lutfy? What did you do?
24:29Lutfy fits into tiny places.
24:31You killed Qwerty!
24:33Oh, no. I did not kill him.
24:35I just made him sputter and smoke. And there is a difference.
24:38Well, we're going to have to get him repaired, and we need a verse now.
24:42What are we going to do?
24:43Lutfy might be teensy-weensy,
24:45But he is a great big helper who knows his scripture memory verses.
24:49Memory verses?
24:50Oh, yes.
24:52You see, we know that God's word is for everyone.
24:57Take a look.
25:00You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God,
25:04You will receive what he has promised.
25:07Hebrews 10.36
25:09Wow. You're one smart teensy-weensy cucumber.
25:12You see, Larry, God wants us to persevere.
25:15To keep on keeping on.
25:17Even when it's hard. Right, Bob?
25:18Especially then. That's when we need to decide to be a finisher.
25:22When we're trying to do something we know God would want us to do,
25:25He cares whether we finish or not.
25:27God promises that finishing has its rewards.
25:30Hi-ya!
25:32Well, that's all the time we have for today, kids.
25:34Remember, God made you special.
25:37And he loves you very much.
25:39This is wonderful!
25:41So, what are we doing for our next show?
25:45Bye!
25:48Guys?
