00:00Hey kids, welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato, and I'm Larry the Cucumber, and we're here to answer your questions.
00:09Yep.
00:10Now, Larry.
00:12Yeah, Bob?
00:13The other day I was walking home from my bowling league when I bumped into Marco, one of our TV friends.
00:19Oh, that's great.
00:21Now, Marco had a question for us. He said that when his baby sister does something that makes him mad, and then she says she's sorry, Marco's mom says he needs to forgive her.
00:32Why does he have to forgive?
00:34Oh, that's a good question.
00:37Hmm.
00:38Well, I know. I'll tell Marco the story of The Grapes of Wrath.
00:44Oh, that's a classic. This'll be good.
00:48Once upon a time, there were some very cranky grapes.
00:52Um, are you sure that's how The Grapes of Wrath goes?
00:56Oh, yeah.
00:58Oh, okay.
01:00Uh, Bob?
01:01Yeah, Larry?
01:03Try not to interrupt.
01:04Oh, sorry.
01:06Once upon a time, there were some very cranky grapes.
01:17The Grapes of Wrath
01:48There's no escape from cranky grapes. We are The Grapes of Wrath.
01:52I'm Bob.
01:53I'm Paul.
01:54This is our brood.
01:55We're grumpy and we know it.
01:57That's Tom and Rosie.
01:58They're both rude.
01:59And not afraid to show it.
02:01We're not the folks you'd like to meet.
02:03We dinner by the hour.
02:05All other grapes are nice and sweet.
02:08We're really rather sour.
02:10As we go dry, bing bye.
02:13Nine legs pin in your eye.
02:15We're from a snake in your milkshake today.
02:18The Grapes of Wrath
02:20The Grapes of Wrath
02:22So stay out of our path.
02:24There's no escape from cranky grapes. We are The Grapes of Wrath.
02:28There's no escape from cranky grapes. We are The Grapes of Wrath.
02:34One day, the grapes are out driving around in their car when suddenly they hit a bump.
02:41We must have hit a bump.
02:44Hey, what'd you do that for?
02:47I didn't do it. You did, you big possum head.
02:50I did not, you taco salad rabbit nose.
02:54You did, too, casserole head, pimento loaf, iguana boy.
03:01Now, Rose, apologize to your brother.
03:04What for?
03:06Well, you know he just turned 18 years old.
03:09Yeah, so?
03:11So that would make him a casserole head, pimento loaf, iguana man.
03:16Yeah, sorry about that, cabbage nose Elvis puppy.
03:20Yeah, and don't you forget it.
03:27Pa, there's somebody over there.
03:30Huh? Oh, you're right.
03:33What kind of fella do you suppose that is, Ma?
03:37Oh, let's see.
03:39Hmm, it's no grape, that's for sure.
03:42Yeah, you see, that's for sure.
03:46It must be some kind of a bean or something.
03:49Yeah, you're right.
03:52Well, what's that thing he's got on his head?
03:56Well, it's yellow.
03:59Um, cheese is yellow.
04:02So that would make him a cheese-headed bean boy.
04:07I'm not a bean, I'm an asparagus.
04:12What'd the bean boy say?
04:14He said he was an asparagus.
04:17Huh?
04:19Asparagus, a plant of the liliaceous genus.
04:23From the Greek, asparagus.
04:26And this is not cheese on my head, it is a hat.
04:31A yellow hat.
04:37Look at that crazy hat.
04:40It looks like peas.
04:43Hey, bean boy, you been throwing peas to your noggin?
04:48No.
04:50Well, that's just terrible.
04:53Don't those grapes know it's not nice to make fun of people?
04:56Well, that's just it, Bob. They didn't know how bad it made Junior feel.
05:00Well, jeepers, Larry. What happened next?
05:03Luckily, Junior's dad heard him laughing and came outside to see what all the commotion was about.
05:08Hey, what's all the commotion out here?
05:11Ooh, grapes.
05:13They were calling me bean boy and telling me I had peas on my head.
05:18Is that true?
05:20Oh, no, no, no. We would not do such a thing as what you have said we would have done.
05:24Except for maybe we did that, I guess, now that you...
05:27Oh, well, okay, we did that. Yep, that's what we did.
05:30So, Junior's dad explained to the grapes that when we make fun of people and call them names, it makes them feel very bad inside.
05:38Well, gee, I guess we never really stopped to think about it, how it was making you feel and all.
05:45Yeah, we was just having some fun. Didn't mean nothing by it.
05:49Yeah, sorry.
05:51Sorry.
05:52Sorry.
05:53Didn't mean it.
05:54We'll never be mean again.
05:57Okay, that's better.
05:59Now, Junior, is there anything you'd like to say to the grapes?
06:02Um, like what?
06:05Junior's dad explained to him that when someone says they're sorry for hurting you and they really mean it, we need to forgive them.
06:12That way, we all feel better.
06:14Oh, I get it.
06:16Okay, I forgive you, grapes.
06:19Oh, that's great.
06:21All right, now, doesn't everyone feel better?
06:24Oh, yeah.
06:26All right, it's almost time for supper.
06:28Come on inside, Junior.
06:31Junior?
06:33His name is Junior?
06:36Oh, that's a funny name.
06:42Okay, this is the last straw.
06:56Hey, I thought you said you weren't going to tease anymore.
07:18Well, that's exactly what we said.
07:20And we grapes always try to keep our promises.
07:24Well, isn't that right?
07:26Oh, yeah.
07:28That's right.
07:30Now, what do you kids have to say to Junior?
07:32I'm sorry.
07:34Oh, mighty sorry.
07:36I apologize.
07:38Sorry.
07:40Boy, I sure am glad they got that straightened out.
07:43Yep, the grapes were really sorry this time.
07:46So, once again, Junior forgave them.
07:48What?
07:50I said, once again, Junior forgave them.
07:53Are you serious?
07:55Well, I think so.
07:56Bob, am I serious?
07:58Oh, yeah, Larry.
07:59Yeah, you're serious.
08:01You see?
08:02I'm supposed to forgive them again?
08:05After what they just did to me?
08:07Well, yeah.
08:09Sure, I forgave them for calling me Bean Boy and saying I had cheese on my head.
08:14But now they're making fun of my name.
08:16And they've laughed when the ho almost had my face cleaned up.
08:20And when the chuck picked me up and threw me in the sand.
08:24And you're telling me I'm supposed to forgive them again?
08:29Um, well, are you guys really sorry?
08:33We're sorry and we'll never do it again.
08:37Well, how many times am I supposed to forgive them?
08:41Um, well, uh, Bob?
08:43Gee, you know, I'm not sure.
08:48Let's ask Qwerty.
08:51Hey, Qwerty, can you help us?
08:54We need to know how many times we're supposed to forgive people.
08:58Maybe, uh, seven times?
09:03I tell you, not seven times, but seventy times seven.
09:08Oh, seventy times seven.
09:11Seventy times seven.
09:13I see.
09:15Um, do you know what seventy times seven is?
09:18Nope.
09:20How about you?
09:21Nope.
09:23Well, does anybody know what seventy times seven is?
09:27None.
09:28Well, let's see, I remember from college it was, uh, pi-r-i-o.
09:35Was it two? Or maybe seven?
09:41Four hundred and ninety.
09:44Ooh, that's one smart grape.
09:48Well, there you have it, four hundred and ninety times.
09:52Wow, so I guess we need to forgive each other, even if we make the same mistakes more than once.
09:58That's right, Junior. Now do you have something to say to the grapes?
10:02Yeah, I forgive you guys again.
10:05Thank you, Junior.
10:07You know, now that we're gonna be nice and all, I don't think we should be called the Grapes of Wrath anymore.
10:14Oh, yeah.
10:17Well, what should we be called then? The Grapes of Nice?
10:23No, that's not it.
10:26That little girl of yours has quite a head for numbers. Maybe you could be the Grapes of Math.
10:34Well, everyone was very excited about the new name, but it was time for Junior to go inside and eat supper.
10:40So with the sun setting in the west and Rosie happily quoting the quadratic equation in the backseat,
10:45the Grapes of Wrath, I mean Math,
10:49drove off to share their niceness with the rest of the world. The end.
10:55Wow, that was great, Larry.
10:58But, um, are you sure that's how the story goes?
11:02Oh, yeah.
11:06And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song.
11:13So without further ado, Silly Songs with Larry.
11:17The Water Buffalo Song
11:21Everybody's got a water buffalo
11:24Yours is fast but mine is slow
11:26Oh, where'd we get them? I don't know
11:28But everybody's got a water buffalo
11:36I took my buffalo to the store
11:39Got his head stuck in the door
11:41Squealed some lima beans on the floor
11:43Oh, everybody's got a
11:44Stop it! Stop! Stop right this instant! What do you think you're doing?
11:48You can't say everyone's got a water buffalo and everyone does not have a water buffalo!
11:53We're going to get nasty letters saying, where's my water buffalo?
11:56Why don't I have a water buffalo?
11:58And are you prepared to deal with that?
12:00I don't think so!
12:01Just stop being so silly!
12:05This has been Silly Songs with Larry.
12:08Tune in next time to hear Larry sing.
12:10Everybody's got a baby kangaroo
12:13Yours is deep but mine is blue
12:15Ah!
12:18We are the Grapes of Wrath
12:22We'll never take a bath
12:24It is our style to seldom smile and never laugh
12:28We are the Grapes of Wrath
12:31So stay out of our path
12:33There's no escape from Cranky Grapes
12:36We are the Grapes of Wrath
