00:00Hi kids and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato and I'm Larry the Cucumber and we're here to answer your questions.
00:07Yep.
00:08Well, I think you're really going to like this show. We got a letter from Caleb Whittier in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
00:14Bob?
00:15Yeah?
00:16How come you always get the letter?
00:17What?
00:18Why is it that you always read the letter? I mean, what if somebody wrote a letter to me?
00:22Well, I guess if you got a letter, you could read it. But this letter says...
00:27Great!
00:28Well kids, this week we got a letter from Elijah Castillo in San Antonio, Texas.
00:34And Eli writes... Can I call you Eli? Thanks. Eli writes, Dear Larry...
00:41Wait a minute, Larry. I don't mean to be rude, but Caleb here has a problem and I was all prepared to do a story to help.
00:47Well, little Eli has a question too. And it's just as important as Caleb's.
00:51Fine, Larry. What is Elijah's question? And it better be a good one because I have a story already.
00:57Oh, it is. You see, Eli says here that there's a bully in his school and...
01:01A bully?
01:02Yeah, you know, a kid that's real mean to all the other kids.
01:04I know what a bully is, Larry.
01:06Then why'd you ask?
01:07Well, it's just that Caleb wrote about the same thing.
01:10Wow, that's one busy bully.
01:12Well, it's not the same bully.
01:13How do you know?
01:14Well, I don't, but...
01:16But you seem so certain.
01:17Well, I am certain.
01:19How do you know?
01:20Larry, it's just highly improbable, statistically speaking, that one bully is bothering two kids 500 miles apart.
01:26I mean, sometimes being certain of something just means highly probable. Highly probable!
01:31Bob, instead of talking about this, wouldn't it be a better idea to answer the question?
01:37You're right, Larry.
01:38I mean, being bullied is a big problem.
01:40You're right, Larry.
01:41I think we should show the kids what God says to do about bullies, don't you?
01:45Well, that's what I... Oh, man.
01:48Roll film!
02:03Minnesota Cube calling Martin.
02:05Come in, Martin.
02:06I can't see anything.
02:08Are there any landmarks around here?
02:10Nothing, Minnesota.
02:11The satellite imagery's pretty fuzzy.
02:13I'm getting a glare.
02:14Use your cap to shield the screen.
02:16Martin, it's not a cap.
02:18It's called a fedora.
02:20You just keep a sharp eye out.
02:22This is an important find for the Children's Museum.
02:24Uh, Martin?
02:25Yeah?
02:26Is there anyone else up here?
02:27Uh, no.
02:28That mountain is totally uninhabited.
02:30Hey, Minnesota, I think I found something.
02:32Look over by the rock to your left.
02:34You see anything?
02:35I'm on it.
02:47The golden carrot nose of the indomitable snowman of the north.
02:59Oh, man.
03:07I got it, Martin.
03:08No worries.
03:09But, Minnesota, I forgot to mention something.
03:12No!
03:16No!
03:40Professor Ratan!
03:41Once again, Mr. Cucumber.
03:43Finders keepers.
03:45Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:49Uh, Minnesota, I forgot to tell you, be careful.
03:52The snowman might be a little unstable.
03:57I had it, Martin.
03:58The golden nose of the indomitable snowman of the north was in my hands.
04:02It's okay, Minnesota.
04:03You did your best.
04:04Then he was there.
04:06Forget about Professor Ratan.
04:08Our Children's Museum will be fine.
04:10We'll get some stuff for the display soon.
04:12He's taken away all my greatest finds ever since the second grade.
04:15Remember when he took Salvador's dolly?
04:17That hurt.
04:18And just to sell it on the internet.
04:20Ratan's just a big bully, Minnesota.
04:22You have to ignore his type and go on with your life.
04:25It all started when he switched the gummy worms in my lunch with him.
04:28I know, real worms.
04:29But I didn't find out until after I ate them.
04:32As long as that bully is out there, I'm not searching for anything again.
04:37I'm staying right here.
04:39Mr. Cucumber.
04:40Yeah?
04:41I'm with the New York Parks and Recreation Department,
04:44and I have an emergency with which only you can help.
04:48Talk to the tomato.
04:50I don't go out anymore.
04:51Just give him some space.
04:53What seems to be the trouble?
04:55We at the NYP&RD believe that a rogue Canadian group of barrel makers
05:00have launched an attempt to take both sides of Niagara Falls.
05:04Both sides?
05:05But they have the best side already.
05:07I thought you were sulking.
05:08Dastardly, isn't it?
05:10Well, how can they do this?
05:12Oh, they can't yet.
05:13They aren't strong enough,
05:14but their leader is looking for an item that will empower them beyond belief.
05:18I thought other Canadians liked us.
05:20What are these barrel makers looking for?
05:24They are searching for none other than the legendary hairbrush of Samson.
05:29You're kidding.
05:30The Samson?
05:31What?
05:32Who's Samson?
05:33Who's Samson?
05:35Samson was none other than the strong man in the Bible.
05:38God used him to fight against the Philistines who were bullying the Israelites.
05:42A strong man that fought bullies, huh?
05:44Didn't you ever go to Sunday school?
05:46Well, what's the deal with the hairbrush?
05:48Well, the story goes that Samson's amazing strength came from his long hair.
05:53Well, kind of.
05:54It was really...
05:55And when Samson's hair was cut, he lost his strength.
05:58This hairbrush is believed to be the very same that was used during the infamous shearing.
06:04So these rogue Canadians believe that whoever has possession of the brush
06:08will also gain Samson's amazing power.
06:12But if I find the brush first, I'll have the power.
06:16Then I can stop Rattan from bullying everybody.
06:19Be careful, Minnesota.
06:20This isn't a chance to try to get even with Rattan, you know.
06:23It's more important than that.
06:25It would be a lovely addition for your children's museum.
06:29You are our last hope, Mr. Cuk.
06:32I may have blown the nose caper, but this time I'll have the goods on Professor Rattan.
06:37I'll go.
06:38But, Minnesota, where are you going to start?
06:41There's only one person who would know about a brush this important.
06:44But, Min, she isn't an archaeologist anymore.
06:47She gave it up when...
06:48Martin, I'm going out for ice cream.
07:02Hello, Julia.
07:03Minnesota Cuk.
07:05I always knew that someday you'd come walking through my door.
07:09It's been a long time.
07:11Look, I need a couple things from you, Julia.
07:14First, a chocolate malta.
07:16Malt.
07:17Right, chocolate.
07:18No, it's malt, not malta.
07:20What?
07:21Malt is a dessert. Malta is an island.
07:23But with an Italian accent, they're both the same.
07:28I'm looking for clues, Jules.
07:30You're not the clueless type.
07:31I'm on the trail of a hairbrush.
07:33Same song, second verse.
07:35It's a special brush. Belonging to a fellow...
07:40Belonging to a fellow goes by the name of Samson.
07:44You heard of it?
07:45I've heard there are a lot of guys after this brush.
07:48It's too dangerous, Cuk. Stay out of it.
07:50And let those Canadians take over?
07:52No way. Somebody's got to stand up for the little guy.
07:55You're asking for trouble, Cuk.
07:58All right. Try this address.
08:00206 Villa de Cortes de Pela.
08:03There's some fellas there who might help.
08:05I knew I can count on you.
08:07Yo, Cuk.
08:08You forgot your malt.
08:10I didn't order it for me.
08:15You need something to go, Cuk?
08:17Oh.
08:18What'll it be, sir?
08:20I'll have what your friend was having.
08:22The address, please.
08:24The address, please.
08:26I'll never tell you.
08:28Oh, I think you will.
08:36Okay, Martin. I got an address.
08:38206 Villa de Cortes de Pela.
08:40I'm on it.
08:41And I have more information about Samson for you.
08:43Spill it.
08:44Well, God wanted Samson to be extra special.
08:47So Samson had to make certain promises to God.
08:50Promises?
08:51Yeah. He couldn't touch dead things,
08:53eat grapes, or cut his hair.
08:55That's weird.
08:56But Samson didn't always keep his promises very well.
08:58You see, one day...
08:59Okay, Martin. Could you hurry this up?
09:01I need you to find that address for me.
09:03Minnesota. There must be a mistake.
09:05I can't find that address anywhere in Malta.
09:07Hmm. I must have got it wrong.
09:09I'll go back and check.
09:22Julia!
09:23Cuke! Help!
09:25Hold on!
09:36Care for a scoop?
09:43You all right?
09:44I didn't tell, Cuke.
09:45Didn't tell what?
09:46There was a man.
09:47A man?
09:48Yeah.
09:49Cuke.
09:50Didn't tell what?
09:51There was a man.
09:52He wanted to know about the brush,
09:53but I didn't tell him anything.
09:55The Canadians!
09:56We gotta find that address!
09:57Is it nearby?
09:58Cuke.
09:59We're going to...
10:00Seville.
10:07Hey, Figaro.
10:08I cannot find my best razor.
10:10You been using my razor again?
10:11Why I want to use your razor, Leo?
10:13My razor suits me just fine.
10:15I'm just saying,
10:16I can't find my razor,
10:17and you the only other one here.
10:19So you're positive that guy was Canadian?
10:21I can't be sure.
10:22He didn't look Canadian.
10:24Eh, buongiorno, mi amici.
10:26Have a seat right here.
10:27So sorry, signora.
10:28We only do the man's hair.
10:30Leo.
10:31Eh, Figaro.
10:32Look who's back.
10:33Eh, Leo, what do you know?
10:35Mia piccola farfalla.
10:36How you been, Julia?
10:38You been eating well?
10:39You look thin.
10:40What's the matter, you?
10:41She looks great.
10:42Che bella, no?
10:43Of course she looks wonderful,
10:44you miserable.
10:45I only mean she's a...
10:46Look, look, fellas.
10:47We came here to ask you about something.
10:49No problemo, bambino.
10:50What you want to know?
10:51Eh, Pazan,
10:52I believe she's talking to me.
10:54Maybe this was a bad idea.
10:56Are you sure these are the guys
10:57I need to talk to?
10:58Of course.
10:59Go ahead, ask.
11:01Gentlemen,
11:02I need to know about a hairbrush.
11:04Samson's hairbrush.
11:06He's okay.
11:09But fellas, I don't need a...
11:11Remove his cap.
11:12It's not a cap.
11:13It's a fedora.
11:14You just sit down
11:15and listen to Figaro and Leo.
11:17La spazzola di Samson,
11:18the hairbrush of a Samson,
11:20she's not a trinket
11:21to be trifled with, you know?
11:22Maybe your girlfriend
11:23forget to tell you,
11:24Figaro and I
11:25are la fratellanza della spazzola,
11:27the brotherhood of the hairbrush.
11:29For centuries,
11:30our papas and our papas' papas
11:33have protected the secret
11:34of the whereabouts of the brush.
11:36We cannot let it fall
11:37into the wrong hands.
11:38Capisce?
11:39Yeah, I capisce.
11:40Why you want la spazzola di Samson?
11:42I need to find the hairbrush
11:43before the Canadians do.
11:44They plan to use its power
11:45to take over both sides
11:46of Niagara Falls.
11:47Mamma mia, no!
11:48Well, don't you worry, my friend.
11:50The hairbrush is somewhere safe
11:51where nobody, but nobody
11:53will ever, ever find her.
11:55Where?
11:56Down, down, down,
11:58underneath the city,
11:59there are secret catacombs.
12:02Catcombs?
12:03I'm not looking for a comb.
12:04It's a brush.
12:05No, not catacombs.
12:06Catacombs!
12:07And down in these
12:08ancient catacombs,
12:10there is a secret chamber.
12:12And in this secret chamber
12:14lies the one and only
12:16spazzola di Samson.
12:18See, Samson's a hairbrush.
12:20She lies safe.
12:22But what if somebody
12:23finds the catcombs?
12:24Nobody can find the catacombs,
12:25silly mozzarella.
12:26Not without this mouth.
12:28Ha-ha!
12:29Puke, it's him!
12:31Nobody follows me, understand?
12:33Especially you, Minnesota fluke!
12:36Once again, you lose, worm-eater!
12:39Ha-ha!
12:42Let me out of the chair!
12:44Hey, Figaro!
12:45Figaro!
12:46Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!
12:47Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!
12:48Figaro!
12:53Mamma mia!
12:55He's gonna get the hairbrush first.
12:58I gotta call Martin.
13:00Martin? Martin?
13:01I'm here, puke.
13:02What's wrong?
13:03Uh, did you get a haircut?
13:04Never mind that.
13:05Where's the park guy?
13:06Huh?
13:07He was here a second ago.
13:08I guess he slipped out.
13:09Tell me, what's going on?
13:10Good, he wouldn't want to hear this anyway.
13:12It's bad news, Martin.
13:13Would you just tell me already?
13:15He was here, Martin.
13:16And he's after the brush.
13:17Who?
13:18Professor Ratan.
13:19Okay, now don't panic, Minnesota.
13:21Remember, he's a bully.
13:23We can deal with him.
13:24Just a bully?
13:25He's more than that.
13:27He's my enemy.
13:28Calm down.
13:29The Bible says we should love our enemies.
13:31Love?
13:32Love our enemies?
13:33Everybody can't go around all the time
13:35trying to get even.
13:36That would leave the whole world in a mess.
13:38Let's just figure out what to do next.
13:40I'll tell you what we're going to do, Martin.
13:42I'm going to get that brush first.
13:44And I'm going to use its power
13:45to defeat all the bullies in the world.
13:47I'm going to teach them a lesson they'll never forget.
13:49But Minnesota!
13:50See you in the funny papers, Martin.
13:52No!
13:55All right, where are those catacombs?
13:57I'm-a-glad-a-you-ask.
13:59We have a shortcut.
14:05Let's go.
14:06Too dangerous, Jules.
14:07I gotta go alone.
14:09Be careful, Kuk.
14:37It's the story of Samson.
14:39I'm on the right trail.
14:41What a guy.
14:43What's this all about?
14:44Samson lost his strength after a haircut?
14:47Poor fella.
15:07Ugh!
15:09Worms. Why'd it have to be worms?
15:15Ugh!
15:28Samson's hair rush.
15:30Congratulations, Mr. Kuk.
15:33Congratulations, Mr. Kuk.
15:36Professor Rattan.
15:37Make this simple, Mr. Kuk.
15:39Please hand over the hairbrush.
15:42Why would I do that?
15:43I have the brush.
15:44I have the power.
15:46Really?
15:47Of course. Watch.
15:51What's wrong?
15:52You have no hair.
15:55What?
15:56You have no power because you have no hair.
16:01Now, please, Mr. Kuk, if you will just hand over the brush.
16:05Never, Rattan.
16:06I won't give it to you or the Canadians or anybody.
16:09It's mine.
16:10Oh? But I think you will.
16:14Kuk!
16:15Julia! Mr. Parkman!
16:17You saved Julia.
16:18Thank you. I didn't know you...
16:19Oh, no, Minnesota.
16:21He works for me.
16:23You see, it was you, Minnesota,
16:25who told me the address of the barbershop.
16:27And you who led us straight to the brush.
16:30It's a simple trade, Minnesota.
16:33The brush for the girl.
16:35Don't do it, Kuk.
16:45Trade.
16:46Ha, ha, ha!
17:01You'll never get away with this, Rattan.
17:03Everyone says that, but I always do.
17:06Goodbye.
17:18We have to stop him.
17:20Why?
17:21Because he's a bully, Jules.
17:22I gotta get even with him.
17:24Like, if it's the last thing I do,
17:26I'll track him down and repay him for every time he's been mean to me.
17:29You've changed, Kuk.
17:31You don't care about the hairbrush anymore.
17:33Now you only want to get even.
17:35I don't like that in you, Kuk.
17:37You're... you're nothing but a bully.
17:40Julia, I'm sorry. I...
17:48You're right, Julia.
17:49Being mean back to a bully just makes me a bully, too.
17:52But it's too late now.
17:54I can't do anything.
17:57Is that you, Martin?
17:59Kuk! Kuk! I've been trying to get a hold of ya!
18:01You'll never guess!
18:02The park guy isn't from New York.
18:04He's really working for Professor Rattan,
18:05who's been following me this whole time.
18:07And I don't think there really is a rogue band of Canadian barrel makers.
18:09They made that whole thing up to trick me.
18:11Now Rattan can rule the world because he's got all the power.
18:13Wow. Yeah. I mean, no.
18:16Kuk, that's what I've been trying to tell ya.
18:18The brush doesn't have any power.
18:20But the Bible said that Samson's hair was his...
18:22The Bible said that God gave Samson his power,
18:25not his hair or his hairbrush.
18:27But what about the haircut that made him lose his strength?
18:29That wasn't about his hair, Min.
18:31Samson lost his strength because he didn't keep his promise to God.
18:35And the best part is that God gives us strength, too.
18:38What?
18:39Yep. He gives us an even greater power than Samson's.
18:42The power to love our enemies and even be kind to them.
18:47This isn't gonna be easy, but I know what I gotta do.
18:53Ready?
18:54You bet.
19:04Hold it right there, Rattan.
19:06What? How did...
19:08Yeah! Stand back.
19:10I have a brush and I no no use it.
19:13You think he's crazy enough to try something?
19:15You betcha.
19:17Canadians!
19:18No, no, no, my friend. They're the good guys.
19:20We call it a cavalry.
19:22Yeah, nobody comes to the rescue better than the Royal Canadian Mounties, eh?
19:27Get him!
19:28Ha! There's nothing you can do against the power of Samson's hairbrush.
19:33But it has no power.
19:35You know nothing. Of course it has power. Watch.
19:42It doesn't work.
19:43What's wrong?
19:44Check the batteries, perhaps?
19:46It doesn't have any power. Never has.
19:48Just you wait. I'll be back.
19:51Wait. Why are you taking him away?
19:53Well, because he, uh...
19:55He stole a hairbrush.
19:56Yeah, he stole a hairbrush, eh?
19:59No, he didn't. I traded him for it.
20:01You mean...
20:02Yep, you can let him go.
20:05Now's our chance. Let's go.
20:07No, wait. This doesn't make sense.
20:10No one has ever been kind to me. Why did you do that?
20:14Because God gives us the power to love everybody.
20:17Even our enemies.
20:18Here. You drop this.
20:20I don't think I want it after all.
20:23Sure you do. Look.
20:25You can use it to cover up that little bald spot you're getting.
20:28Ooh, nice.
20:30Hey, I'm sorry for everything I've done.
20:34I think I'm gonna like being friends.
20:38What an adventure.
20:39And Professor Rattan let you keep the hairbrush after all.
20:42Well, he didn't need it since he gave up that whole world domination thing.
20:46I'm just glad it all worked out.
20:48You know, Kuke, I never got to tell you.
20:51What's that, Jules?
20:52I'm real proud of the way you handled that bully.
20:55Aw, Julia.
20:58Moose Lake Children's Museum.
21:00Yes?
21:01What?
21:02It is?
21:03Sounds dangerous.
21:04Well, let me ask him.
21:06Hey, Kuke, think you can find Noah's umbrella?
21:09Where's my cap?
21:10It's called a fedora.
21:13I'm on my way.
21:15I'm on my way.
21:19Wow, that sure was fun.
21:21Yeah, and exciting.
21:23I hope you liked it too, Caleb.
21:26Oh, and Eli.
21:28You know, I think he prefers to be called Elijah.
21:30How do you know?
21:31Highly probable.
21:34We're over here by Qwerty to talk about what we learned today.
21:37And so what we have learned applies to our lives today.
21:42God has a lot to say in his book.
21:45Why don't you like that song, Bob?
21:47I...
21:48You see, we know that God's word is for everyone.
21:52And now that our song is done, we'll take a look.
21:55I do like it. It's just that...
21:57Not now, Bob. It's time to talk about the lesson.
22:00Today we learned that there are bullies everywhere.
22:03And sometimes you can't do anything to change them.
22:06And no matter what, God doesn't want us to try to get even.
22:09That just makes us bullies too.
22:11But God does want us to love them.
22:13That's right.
22:14Well, let's see if Qwerty has a verse for us today.
22:18But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
22:23Matthew 5, 44.
22:25Wow, that doesn't sound easy.
22:27No, it isn't.
22:28But just like in the story, God has given us the power to do good to those who aren't good to us.
22:33Which just goes to show you...
22:35God made you special.
22:36And he loves you very much.
22:38Well, it's time to go now. See you next time.
22:41Goodbye!
23:08See you next time.
23:38See you next time.
24:08See you next time.
24:38Amen.
