00:00Hi kids, welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato.
00:05And I'm Larry the Cucumber.
00:07And we're here to answer your questions.
00:09Yep.
00:10Today we got a letter from Cody Gordon in Evergreen, Colorado.
00:13Hiya, Colorado Cody.
00:15Now, Cody just became a big sister a few weeks ago.
00:18Cool. Congratulations.
00:20She says that she likes her new baby brother and all, but sometimes she gets angry because nobody pays attention to her anymore.
00:27Hmm.
00:28Also, she says her mom is always asking her to help with the baby, and she can't play as much as she used to.
00:33Oh yeah. That's rough.
00:35Yep. Cody says her mom wants her to show love to her brother, but she's not sure how, or even why.
00:42Wow.
00:43You know, Cody, this reminds me of my little brother, Steve the Cucumber.
00:48You have a brother?
00:49Actually, I have three brothers.
00:51Steve the Cucumber, Mark the Cucumber, and Bob the Cucumber.
00:55Bob's the oldest.
00:57You never told me you had brothers.
00:59I'm sure I must have.
01:01I would have remembered. Bob the Cucumber? I would have remembered if you had a brother named Bob.
01:07Oh, well, sorry. I guess I never thought about it when I was around you.
01:11I've known you for ten years.
01:13Has it been that long?
01:15Anyway, Cody, I used to feel the same way about my brother, Steve the Cucumber, when he was born.
01:20And my mom had a story or two she would tell me when I was feeling that way.
01:24What do they look like?
01:26My brothers?
01:28Like cucumbers.
01:30So, Cody, check this out.
01:32I hope it helps.
01:34Three brothers? You think you know a guy.
01:37What?
01:40The Great War
01:44The Great War began upon the first high throne
01:48For whom our vampire and the kingdom scorned
01:52While the pies did sail and the men fell
01:56There was a family united
02:00And a house redeemed
02:05This is a tale of a princess and a duke
02:10And a mother-in-law who's related to the princess
02:14Who at the end of the story becomes related to the duke
02:18It's kind of complicated
02:21It happened once upon a time
02:29Duke, Duke, his name is Duke
02:33A snappy dresser and an upright hue
02:37Most folks say he is a handsome man
02:41With the rough dimensions of a rack of land
02:45He's hunky!
02:50Sweet, sweet, Petunia sweet
02:55Her eyes are sparkly and her hair is neat
02:58She was named the princess of her senior prom
03:02Now she lives as a peasant with her aging mom
03:06Technically, I'm her mother-in-law.
03:08It's complicated. I'll explain later.
03:12Love, love, true, true love
03:16The kindest fairy tales are made up
03:19But we've heard these stories and if we're correct
03:23True love's a little different than you'd expect
03:31I'm a squire but I'm no fool
03:33I'm ignited at night school
03:39In all my years, this has got to be the surriest lot of knights I have ever seen.
03:44You'll never be fit for battle.
03:46Sir, yes sir!
03:54Rebound knights, keep your heads up!
04:02Knight before last, you're late again!
04:05Sleepless knights, stay awake!
04:13Next!
04:24If that had been a pie, you'd be creamed right now!
04:28You're hopeless!
04:29Hopeless, indeed.
04:31Otis the Elevated, what an honor, sire!
04:34Men, this is the old knight school's most illustrious graduate!
04:40Allow me to show you how it is done.
04:44Sleepless knight, charge me and try to knock me off my feet!
04:53Alright!
05:06All is fair in love and war.
05:09I don't think that's right.
05:11Hear ye, hear ye!
05:12Otis the Elevated will be taking all comers in the annual jousting tournament
05:17If any of you are up for the challenge, which I know you aren't.
05:21Thank you, Novak.
05:24Remember, lads, this is the training that could save your life
05:28when facing a Rue Barbarian.
05:31Watch out for yourself.
05:32There's not a nice one among them.
05:40Soup's ready!
05:41It's water soup.
05:43Again.
05:45With water sauce.
05:48Sweet, sweet Petunia, you have been so kind to me all these years.
05:54And you to me, Mother.
05:56In law.
05:57Yes, I know.
05:59But you've been just like a mother to me, Nona.
06:02Well, if it isn't the Rue Barbarian.
06:04Go back to your own kingdom, Rue Barbarian!
06:19Nona, I don't really seem to fit in since our arrival here in Scone.
06:24We've become very poor, and everyone is rather mean to me here.
06:39Sweet, sweet Petunia, could you get that apple for me?
06:44Sweet, sweet Petunia, could you get that apple for me?
06:50Of course.
06:57Catchy tune.
06:58It's that new surf music.
07:01Lucas, why are we taking this path back home?
07:04We don't have to check on my orchards.
07:06Harvest was last week.
07:07I told you this morning, sire.
07:09Nona has moved back to town, and she wanted you to stop by.
07:12Nona? My second cousin?
07:14Twice removed.
07:15Oh, look! There she is now!
07:18Wow! Nona sure has... changed.
07:22Sire, Nona is the short one.
07:24Oh, well then, who's the tall, kind one?
07:26That would be Petunia.
07:28But sire, I advise you not to have anything to do with her.
07:31After all, she is a Rue Barbarian.
07:34Oh, pish-posh, Lucas. The war is old news.
07:37Look how kind she is.
07:39Why, duke-duke, what a surprise.
07:42Why, hello, Nona. It's good to see you.
07:45By the way, have I introduced you to sweet, sweet Petunia?
07:49She has been caring for me since our return.
07:52Oh, duke-duke, Nona has told me so much about you.
07:56Soup?
07:58Well, there's not much, but we will gladly share it with you.
08:01Why, thank you.
08:04I'll get it.
08:06Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, excuse me.
08:09I'm such an oaf. Let me make it up to you.
08:12What do you need, my lady? Anything at all?
08:14Oh, nothing really, sire.
08:16Yes, especially since we live in a tree stump with no food to speak of.
08:20We don't need anything. Nothing at all.
08:23Sire, love and war. Remember? The war.
08:26Nonsense.
08:28The least I can do is let you gather leftover apples from my orchards here.
08:31You can take whatever you like.
08:33Oh, why, thank you.
08:35You really are too kind, duke-duke.
08:38Oh, no need for formality.
08:40You can call me Duke.
08:47Bye, duke-duke.
08:49I mean, duke.
08:51Bye-bye.
08:53Bye, sweet, sweet Petunia.
08:55Uh, sire, you are getting rather friendly with that foreign girl.
08:59You know how the citizens of Scone are toward anyone being friendly to a Rue Barbarian.
09:04Ah, Lucas, you're overreacting.
09:22No, no, that's nonsense.
09:25I'm sure that was just an accident.
09:27No, it wasn't!
09:28How many Rue Barbarians does it take to change a lightbulb?
09:31I don't know. How many Rue Barbarian...
09:34Uh, what's a lightbulb?
09:36I don't know, but if I did, I'm sure it would not change my negative opinion of Rue Barbarians.
09:44I'd better go. Things will only get worse for you if you're seen with me.
09:49No, no, things will be fine. I'll be...
09:53Oh, are you okay?
09:54Yeah, I'm okay.
09:55You dropped your hat.
09:56You know me.
09:57Oh, here you go.
09:58Oh, I'll get it.
09:59Oh, are you okay?
10:00Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.
10:03Oh, goodbye.
10:05Oh!
10:07Missed the door.
10:08Bye. I got my hat now.
10:13She is somewhat clumsy for a princess, no?
10:17What? Petunia is a princess?
10:19Buttercups.
10:21Excuse me, Nona, I don't mean to pry, but if Petunia is a princess, why are you two so poor?
10:27It's complicated. I'll explain later.
10:29Um, it kind of is later.
10:32Oui. Let's go to the book.
10:34Paige!
10:36It all started before the Great Pie War.
10:39As you know, I once had a husband, the brave and noble Gildersleeve the Invincible.
10:44And we had a son, Ryan, the only slightly less invincible.
10:50Oh, did I mention that my son, Ryan, noble citizen of Scone,
10:55married sweet, sweet Petunia, the princess of Rhubarb.
10:59What?
11:01Petunia's married?
11:02No, not your horses.
11:04There's more.
11:05You see, when our son married the Rhubarbarian princess,
11:09we all went to live in Rhubarb.
11:11But before we left, Gildersleeve provided for his brother
11:15by giving him half of the Golden Crest.
11:18It was the key to his castle.
11:20Half? Why don't you just come out and say you don't trust me?
11:24All right, I don't trust you.
11:26The other half was the key to the Great Vault.
11:29This he kept for me.
11:32Then things got bad.
11:34The armies of Rhubarb went to war against the kingdom of Scone.
11:39The Great Pie War had begun.
11:43As you know, Gildersleeve and Ryan were neither invincible
11:48nor slightly less invincible.
11:52Wow, I never knew.
11:54But why didn't you stay in the kingdom of Rhubarb
11:57if Petunia was a princess?
11:59Paige!
12:01Petunia's family welcomed her, but not me.
12:05To them, I was the enemy.
12:08But Petunia was so compassionate to me.
12:12She sacrificed living as a princess to come and take care of me.
12:17Wow, you're right.
12:19How's that?
12:20This is complicated.
12:22So, you're forced to live in a tree stump
12:25because of Gildersleeve's brother.
12:27He only looks out for himself.
12:29I'm so sorry.
12:30I wish there was something I could do
12:32to help you get the other half of that crest.
12:35Nona!
12:37Adonadino!
12:40Goodbye, Duke.
12:43Voila!
12:45Oh, Petunia!
12:47Sorry, Nona.
12:48I'll get dinner right away.
12:50How's apple fricassee?
12:52Fine, dear.
12:53But first, I have something for you.
12:55I want you to have this.
12:57You need it more than I do.
13:00But Nona!
13:01The key to the vault?
13:03Oh, this is too great a treasure.
13:05I...
13:06Can never repay me?
13:08Well, I think Duke will help you with that.
13:11Duke?
13:12What does Duke have to do with anything?
13:15You just give it to him
13:17and ask him to joust for you in the tournament.
13:20Give it to Duke?
13:21Trust me, dear.
13:25Oh!
13:26Oh, Petunia, I didn't see you there.
13:29Tell him.
13:31You think he's nice.
13:34I...
13:35Nice?
13:36Oh!
13:37You sure are.
13:39You're really nice.
13:40You're one of the nicest people I know.
13:42Tell him.
13:43Oh, uh, yeah.
13:45Duke, uh...
13:47I think you're nice, too.
13:49You do?
13:50Well, I, uh...
13:51Now, give him the crest.
13:54What's this?
13:55I want you to joust for me at the tournament
13:58to win the other half of the crest
14:00from Gildersleeve's brother.
14:02What?
14:03The family.
14:04Mention the family.
14:05If...
14:06If Gildersleeve's brother won't look out for family,
14:09you must.
14:11Me?
14:12For you?
14:13Well, you're known as second cousin.
14:15Twice removed.
14:16Duke, I know this is a lot to ask,
14:19but I want...
14:20Ahem.
14:21Uh...
14:22I need you to joust for me.
14:26Well, then...
14:28Yes!
14:29Yes?
14:30Yes, of course I'll joust for you.
14:32I'd do anything for you, Petunia.
14:34Even if I had to joust Otis the Elevated.
14:37By the way, who is Gildersleeve's brother, anyway?
14:40Otis the Elevated.
14:49Otis, I've come to challenge you to a joust.
14:53Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
14:57Huh?
15:01Ahem.
15:02A joust?
15:03Winner gets both halves of the duck.
15:05Both halves, huh?
15:07If you won't take care of family, I will.
15:10You think I got where I am by looking out for others?
15:14Looking out for others is for socks!
15:17Ha-ha-ha!
15:18No.
15:19Looking out for others is true love.
15:21Hee-hee-hee!
15:22I've seen you, Thrain.
15:24You're on!
15:25Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
15:31Ladies, lords, and peasants!
15:34We are gathered to witness a contest
15:37between Otis the Elevated...
15:39Yay!
15:41...and Duke Duke.
15:46The winner gets the golden crest to Gildersleeve's castle
15:50with all the treasure that lies within.
15:52And if they act now,
15:54we'll include this lovely set of Ginsu knives.
15:58Ooh!
16:00The contest shall consist of three tests worthy of a knight.
16:04First, the implausibly arduous obstacle course of Arrow.
16:15By right of elevation,
16:17Otis the Elevated shall go first.
16:20Yay!
16:23Ooh!
16:46Yay!
16:4823 seconds.
16:50A new personal best!
16:53Next up, the roo-barbarian-loving Duke Duke.
17:01Ha-ha!
17:02Whoa!
17:13Whoa, whoa, whoa!
17:16Whoa!
17:20Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
17:26Ha-ha-ha-ha!
17:28Wait, he's up!
17:30No, wait, he's up, look!
17:33He's gonna make it this time!
17:50Ooh!
18:09And Duke's score?
18:11A course time worst.
18:1367 seconds.
18:17It's not looking too good for Duke.
18:21And now, the hurling catapults of slime.
18:25To see who's the smartest,
18:27the Abbot of Costello will ask a riddle.
18:30The first to solve it
18:32sends his opponent into a bucket o' slime.
18:39There are three members of the royal family with strange names.
18:43Sir Who, Prince What, and Lady I Don't Know.
18:46They want to board a ferry to cross a treacherous river.
18:49Taking into account their rank,
18:51what would be the reverse order in which they should board the ferry?
18:55Wait, you want to know who's on first?
18:57Correct. Next?
18:59What?
19:00Absolutely correct. And third?
19:02I don't know.
19:03Correct.
19:04Wait, who went third?
19:06Wrong.
19:08Mama!
19:11Whoo-hoo!
19:13Hooray!
19:15This is unbelievable. Duke actually tied Otis!
19:21There will be a third contest.
19:23The joust with the Pies of Doom!
19:31A head-to-head competition to prove who is the best.
19:36You are going to lose everything!
19:45Sire, no one would blame you if you backed out now.
19:48After all, she is a Rue Barbarian.
19:51Go back to your own kingdom, Rue Barbarian!
19:55Think about it.
19:56Are you really willing to take a pie for Petunia?
20:00Lucas, she has no family to look out for her.
20:03I have to think of her first.
20:05For Petunia!
20:07For family!
20:09For the duck!
20:11Wah-ha!
20:13Wah-ha!
20:16Wah-ha!
20:19Ooh!
20:21Ooh, that was close, folks.
20:25You were lucky, Duke.
20:27But watch out for yourself this time.
20:29No, Otis.
20:31I'm looking out for someone else first.
20:33That's true love.
20:34That's crazy.
20:36Wah-ha!
20:38Wah-ha!
20:41Wah-ha!
20:44Oh!
20:47Oh, I want that duck!
20:52Mona, Petunia, and those silly peasants
20:54can all starve for all I care.
20:58Ha!
21:03Ha!
21:20Ha!
21:23I can't see!
21:25Mama!
21:30Oh!
21:34Oh, Duke wins!
21:36Give it up, Duke!
21:37Yay, Duke wins!
21:39Ho-ho, way to go, Duke!
21:46What are you looking at?
21:51We'll be family now, Petunia.
21:53And I'll take care of you forever.
21:57Family?
21:59Forever?
22:05I now pronounce you Duke and Duchess.
22:12You may now join the halves of the duck.
22:17Is that real gold?
22:19Oh, excuse me.
22:20No, I'll get it.
22:21No, no, allow me.
22:22Oh, excuse me.
22:23I got it.
22:25Love, love, true, true love
22:29The kindest, fairest, illest neighbor
22:33We reiterate our theme now so well-rehearsed
22:37True love's the kind of love that makes a man
22:41We reiterate our theme now so well-rehearsed
22:45True love's the kind of love that makes a man
22:49True love's the kind of love that makes a man
22:59Wow, Larry, those were great stories about loving your family.
23:03Thanks, Bob.
23:04Um, speaking of families,
23:06I've been feeling kind of bad that I never told you about mine,
23:09but now there's a call so you can meet him.
23:11What?
23:12Come on in, guys.
23:15Bob, this is Bob, Steve, and Mark the Cucumbers.
23:21Well, hi, guys.
23:23It's really great to meet you.
23:26Uh...
23:28Oh, did I mention they're not much for talking?
23:31No, you didn't mention that.
23:33But they sure can sing.
23:35Well, that's nice.
23:37We're over here by Cordy to talk about what we learned today.
23:40Do-ya-da-da-do
23:44And so what we have learned applies to our lives today
23:51And God has a lot to say in His book
23:56Yeah, yeah, yeah
24:00You see, we know God's Word
24:04For every one of us
24:06And now that our song is done
24:09We'll take a look
24:13Wow, that was, uh, nice.
24:16Real nice.
24:18Bye, bros.
24:19They have to get back to the hardware store.
24:21The hardware store?
24:22Yep. I chose a life of show business.
24:24They chose a life of hardware.
24:26But they sing so nice.
24:28You should see them with the table saw.
24:30Uh-huh.
24:31Well, let's see if Cordy has a verse for us today.
24:36Be devoted to one another in brotherly love
24:39Honor one another above yourselves
24:41Romans 12.10
24:43And in the story of the princess in the pie war
24:45Duke, Sweet Petunia, and Nona all looked out for each other
24:48Because each wanted the others to be happy.
24:50So you see, Cody, God gave us families to help each other.
24:54The very best way to show love to your new little brother
24:57Is to think about him first
24:59Kind of like the way your mom looks out for you.
25:01That'll help him grow up to be a great brother
25:04And you'll feel great because you helped.
25:06That's right.
25:07Because true love always thinks of others first.
25:10Well, that's all the time we have for today, kids.
25:13Always remember, God made you special.
25:16And he loves you very much.
25:18Uh, Bob, I'll see you later.
25:20I gotta go do a video link with my dad.
25:23Your dad?
25:24Yeah, he's an astronaut.
25:26He's in orbit, and I gotta wish him a happy birthday.
25:28See ya, kids.
25:29Larry, we gotta talk more.
26:28There's something suspicious going on here.
26:41Nothing.
26:59What?
27:00Nothing.
27:01Nothing.
