01:47Jason T Conrad, we need your help
01:55I
02:25Wrap yourselves in boys. It could be a bumpy ride
02:55Because a thankful heart is a happy heart
03:00I'm glad for what I have
03:02That's an easy way to start for the love that he shares cuz he listens to my prayers
03:10That's why I say thanks every day
03:25a
03:27I
03:53Wise man once said not to be afraid of greatness
03:58Some are born great
04:00Some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them
04:09Who is it um
04:12Your highness. Ah, the king was wondering if you could make him a sandwich
04:19It's three o'clock in the morning. Ah
04:22Yeah, but he says that he's the king and whatever he says goes well
04:27I'm the queen and the king can make his own sandwich
04:35Okay
04:38You can't do this to me, I'm the queen. Oh, oh you wanna bet
04:45The king can do whatever he wants. He is the king
04:50And don't come back
04:54Don't you think that might have been a little harsh
04:56Oh, no way if she got away with that, no one would listen to you
05:01Well, what am I gonna do now?
05:05It looks like we're gonna have to find you a new queen hmm make me a sandwich
05:13This is the story of a great person
05:16It's hard to say whether our hero was born that way
05:19Or was just placed in a right place at the right time and decided to do the right thing. I
05:24Suppose you can be the judge of that. Oh
05:27And one more thing our hero isn't a king just an ordinary girl
05:42You
05:44You
06:07Now wait a minute wait a minute
06:10Yeah, let me see if I got this yes, so your friend steal an apple yeah, that's right
06:17Yeah, it wasn't hers, but she took it. Yep. And now you don't know what to do. Yeah, what should I do?
06:25What do you think you should do?
06:27well, I
06:30Suppose I should tell her it was wrong and and that she should pay for it. Sounds like a good answer
06:36Yeah, but I'm I'm too scared
06:41Esther yeah cousin Mordecai. How long have I been your cousin?
06:45Well, pretty much forever. Hey give or take have I ever steered you wrong?
06:52Well, no, I guess you never need to be afraid to do what's right
07:00Do you remember that song your grandmother used to sing
07:06You
07:08Mean the one about God being on our side and not having to be afraid
07:13Yeah, I remember that one good
07:16But what if she doesn't want to be my friend anymore? Oh
07:20Essie you can do the right thing and there are problems out there a lot bigger than stolen apples
07:27Oh
07:30Like no one it's a man that guy hates me I gotta get scared
07:43Him make way for Haman the king
07:48And
07:53Hello people of Persia
07:56His Royal Highness King Xerxes
07:59Finds himself for reasons that do not concern you in need of a new queen
08:07So I would like to ask all eligible young ladies to please come with me
08:18Young lady that means you
08:22If it's all the same to the king, I think I'd rather stay right here. I
08:27Did not ask you if you are interested the king needs a queen
08:34Get in the wagon
08:37Essie for your own good. You should probably go what but I

08:55Hello, Haman. You can call me sir. You know, we both work for the king
09:01But compared to me you are a gnat
09:05G silent. It's Nat. Are you calling me?
09:09No, just correcting your pronunciation. Are you calling me stupid?
09:15No, you get in the wagon you bow to me

10:01Okay, okay
10:02Sorry about all the shushing but look Haman hates us hates our whole family if he knew I was your cousin
10:09He'd hate you too. And then you could be in grave danger
10:15Esther you mustn't let anyone here know that you're part of our family
10:21But I don't even want to be here. Why do I have to be here? Oh
10:26Essie, I don't know the future but God does maybe there's a reason

14:28boys, yeah
14:30Yep. Well, you gotta be at least a little excited
14:36Nobody even asked me if I wanted to be queen Oh
14:40Essie you always did have a mind of your own. I always like that about you. Oh
14:50Don't worry there must be a reason but hey tomorrow you'll be introduced to the court. Oh, that'll be fun. Oh
14:58Oh
15:00Get some rest Queen Essie my cousin Queen of Persia
15:07Mordecai the king. What's he like? Oh, he's sharp real sharp. I think you're really gonna like him
15:15You
15:23Think she's gonna like me. Oh
15:25You bet she will you're the king
15:29Everybody likes you under penalty of death
15:32well, yeah, but you know
15:34Even if I weren't the king say I was one of those guys who cleans up after the camels or a lawyer or something
15:41You still think no doubt about it you're big and strong
15:46Charming handsome like any girl in the whole kingdom would be happy to make you a sandwich King or no King
15:55You really think so. Oh, I know so well. All right, then bring her in
16:11Oh
16:24Who are you I am big fan your chef
16:28well
16:30What are you doing here? I don't remember invite
16:35No, oh
16:37Oh
16:41My
16:43Well, that's lovely
16:45You made that for me. We oh you shouldn't have it looks delicious
16:51Why don't you bring me over a piece?
16:54Well, you know, I was thinking you could come over here to eat it
17:01Well, I always eat right here on my throne. Why would I need to come?
17:07It's the red
17:09The light in this particular spot is just right
17:12You can only appreciate the full beauty of this confectionary masterpiece in their proper life. Oh
17:21Light huh, that makes sense. I guess I suppose I could come over there
17:31Hey, who's this guy?
17:33I
17:35Am the royal chef
17:38I've never seen you. I'm
17:41new
17:42He made me a cake
17:45Isn't that nice?
17:47Did you invite him?
17:51Did you tell you what can happen to someone who appears before you
17:55I
18:13Was there a piano on my cake
18:22Seize them
18:25Oh
18:32Hey, aren't you the peony brothers the most wanted bees in Persia
18:38That's right. We are and we could have taken over the kingdom if it wasn't for that
18:49Save my life
18:52Oh
18:53Actually, your highness it was the good guard Mordecai. He alerted me. It was Mordecai who saved your life. Oh
19:03Well Mordecai I
19:06King what should the punishment be for these two dangerous criminals?
19:11the most wanted bees in Persia who appeared before you
19:17Uninvited and try to drop a piano on your head
19:22Well, let's see it should probably be pretty stiff, huh, what do you think I
19:30say the punishment should be
19:33banishment
19:51Oh
20:09There are two things you don't do in Persia
20:13One of them is trying to drop a piano on a king's head
20:17The other is appearing before him uninvited
20:20The peony brothers found these things out the hard way
20:26Now it might seem that things are going pretty well for Esther and Mordecai after all they saved the king's life
20:33But Haman had something else up his sleeve or wherever
20:37You see nothing could be worse for Haman than for his enemy Mordecai to be on a king's good side
20:43If the king liked Mordecai more than him, it might jeopardize his position as the second-in-command
20:49So Haman came up with his own sneaky little plan
20:56Your highness I believe there is much to fear
21:01Really? Those peonies are no longer here. A much greater danger may await you now
21:10How's that possible with permission your highness I'll tell you how
21:17Go on
21:19It's my duty to inform you and if I'm correct to ignore this great emergency would be neglected
21:25It's the motto of my office
21:27serve and protect
21:30There are those who walk among us who show no respect
21:35Really?
21:38Adjusted there are those who can't be trusted. Oh my goodness
21:45Tell me about these people
21:48Sneaky little family who do sneaky little things who stick their sneaky noses into matters of the king
21:53I fear if they're not dealt with the prospect makes me weep
21:59Zucchini-shaped sarcophagus is where you'll sleep
22:03Really? The nerve! I am
22:07Disgusted there are those who can't be trusted
22:11That sure doesn't sound like a nice family. Nope
22:15Your highness. I believe we must act with speed
22:20Agreed say the word. I'll give you what you need a simple solution, but you must act now
22:27How can I help with permission your highness? I'll tell you how
22:36After careful calculation, I've got just a ding we'll send them to the dreaded
22:41Style of tickling, but before I can take action we have to close the deal
22:46And it needs a kingly imprint of the royal seal
22:52I agree
22:53They must be busted
22:55There are those who can't be trusted
23:00The sneaky little family who do sneaky little things
23:03Who stick their sneaky noses into matters of the king
23:06The crimes against the kingdom
23:08Punishment escape
23:11The eleventh tickling is where they'll sleep
23:15The law is now adjusted
23:18For those who can't be trusted
23:23Ha!
23:36Mordecai is busted
23:39There are those who can't be trusted
23:53Huh?
23:55What's this?
23:58Oi!
24:01Essi!
24:04Essi! Essi!
24:06Cousin Mordecai? What is it?
24:09Oh he's done it! He's finally done it!
24:12Who? Done what?
24:14Look!
24:16What's this?
24:17It's an edict
24:18In just a few days, all of us, our whole family
24:21Will be sent to the island of perpetual tickling
24:25What?
24:26Who? Who did this?
24:28Oh who do you think?
24:30Aemon!
24:31I told you he hates us, hates our whole family
24:34And now he's done it!
24:35He got the king to sign this
24:37And we'll all be banished!
24:41What are you gonna do?
24:43That's just it! I can't do anything
24:47I'm just a guard
24:49But you, you're the queen!
24:52What do you mean?
24:54You must go to him! You must go to the king!
24:57What?
24:58Don't you know what happens to people who appear before the king uninvited?
25:02Esther!
25:03Remember the Peony brothers?
25:04Esther! There is no other way!
25:07You are the only one who can stop this!
25:10No! No I'm not gonna! I didn't even want to be the queen!
25:15You're smart Mordecai, think of another way!
25:17Esther, there is no other way!
25:20I wasn't even brave enough to go to my friend about the apple
25:24And now you want me to go to the king?
25:26Even if he doesn't banish me for showing up
25:29Why would he listen to me?
25:31I mean, Aemon is his right hand man!
25:35I can't tell you what to do
25:37But I can tell you this
25:39You wanted to know why you were here
25:42Why you became queen
25:45I told you God must have a reason!
25:48Esther, perhaps he put you here for such a time as this
25:54Perhaps this is the reason
25:58Esther, you never have to be afraid to do what's right
26:03I'll pray for you
26:05We'll all pray for you
26:15Tell me why
26:18I don't understand
26:22Tell me why
26:25Or show me your hand
26:29Tell me why
26:31Because I can't see my way through
26:39What now should I do?
27:09The battle is not ours
27:14We look to God above
27:19For he will guide us safely through
27:24And guard us with his love
27:29I will not be afraid
27:35I will not run and hide
27:42For there is nothing I can't face when God is at my side
27:53No, there is nothing I can't face when God is at my side
28:02When God is at my side
28:08The battle is not ours
28:12We look to God above
28:17For he will guide us safely through
28:22And guard us with his love
28:32Another one of them wise guys once said
28:36that in the moment of truth
28:38a great person doesn't have to think much
28:40about what they're gonna say or do
28:42They just speak and do what's right
28:44Esther knew what she had to do was right
28:47So, she figured she didn't have to be nervous
28:52Alright, so she was a little nervous
28:54Give her a break
28:59Hi Queen
29:02So, we're all set
29:04I got the big boat reserved for Friday
29:07Two more days and we'll be rid of that dangerous family forever
29:13Good work Haman
29:15What would I do without you?
29:17Hey, who invited the Queen?
29:20Did you invite the Queen?
29:22No, I don't think I did
29:30But that's okay
29:32I'm sure she'll be back
29:34I've got to go
29:36Uh, no, I don't think I did.
29:45But that's okay.
29:49Come on over here, Queenie-poo.
29:56I don't know if anybody told you, but popping up uninvited is generally discouraged around here.
30:02By death or banishment.
30:05But my little Queenie-poo can visit me anytime she wants.
30:11So what is it you want? Just tell me. Whatever you want, it's yours.
30:19Um, if it, uh, if it pleases the king, there's something that I'd like to...
30:25I'd like you and Heyman to come to dinner tonight.
30:30Oh, isn't that nice? She's inviting us over for dinner.
30:34Mm-hmm.
30:35You bet. We'd love to come. What time you want us over?
30:40Uh, say, eight?
30:42Eight it is.
30:43See you then.
30:45Oh, that's nice.
30:46Yep, she's a keeper.
30:53Now, don't get me wrong.
30:55Now, don't get me wrong.
30:57Showing up uninvited before his highness is a very brave thing to do.
31:01But telling the king that his right-hand man is a weasel is especially difficult.
31:06What if he doesn't believe her?
31:08If the weasel stays, well, let's just say it wouldn't be so hot for our girl.
31:13No, Esther was looking for just the right moment to spring the news on him.
31:18Okay, this is for the wedgie.
31:21It's for the wedgie?
31:22Mm-hmm.
31:23Make it an easy one.
31:24Okay.
31:25Who was the youngest Jackson?
31:28Oh, I think I know that one.
31:30It's, uh, wasn't it, uh, Tito?
31:34Yeah, Tito.
31:35Nope, not Tito.
31:36Not Tito?
31:37Nope.
31:38I thought for sure it was Tito.
31:39Nope, not Tito.
31:41Not Tito?
31:42Um, your highness.
31:45The real reason I asked you over tonight was to...
31:50was to...
31:53to see if you would both like to join me for dinner again tomorrow night.
31:59Well, sure.
32:00Oh, yeah.
32:01Yeah, that sounds great.
32:02I'd love to come.
32:03Are you sure it wasn't Tito?
32:05Nope, not Tito.
32:14Well, hello there.
32:18I guess there's not much to say, eh, Mordecai?
32:22Seeing how in two days you'll be waking up in Chuckle City.
32:27You know, I just came from dinner with the king and queen,
32:31and they invited me over again tomorrow night.
32:35I guess they must like me.
32:37Why don't you like me, Mordecai?
32:42You know, it wouldn't be too hard to show me that you like me
32:46just a little bow, that's all.
32:49Is that so hard?
32:51Who knows? I'm a very influential guy.
32:54I might be able to work something out for you and your family.
32:58Arrogance is not fitting for a fool, Heyman.
33:02Much less is lying fitting for a right-hand man.
33:06I'll never bow to you.
33:08Please? Oh, yeah?
33:11Oh, yeah? Well, maybe this foolish right-hand man
33:15can arrange for you to take your trip to Tickletown tonight!
33:289.28 a.m. King puts on his slippers and brushes his teeth.
33:349.32. King cuts himself shaving.
33:38Ouch, I remember that one.
33:40How about something more recent? You got anything more recent?
33:46Thanks for doing this. You know, it really does help me sleep.
33:501.40. King is joined by Heyman in the throne room.
33:53I really like it when you read me these records.
33:56I guess you could say it's the story of me.
34:001.45. Heyman leaves to get queen.
34:031.47. Chef arrives with wedding cake.
34:061.50. King stands up to eat cake.
34:09Ooh, this is a good one. Excitement. Drama.
34:121.51. The king's life is saved by the guard Mordecai.
34:161.52.
34:18Wait, wait, wait. Did you say Mordecai saved my life?
34:22He's that little grape with the mustache, right?
34:25Uh, yep.
34:26Mordecai, huh? Do we ever do anything to thank him for that?
34:30Uh, nope.
34:31That's a shame. Maybe I ought to give him a card or something.
34:36You know, to show my appreciation.
34:38I wish I were more creative with things like that.
34:41Uh, come in.
34:43King, I have a most urgent request.
34:48I'm wondering if you can...
34:50Wait a minute there, Heyman. Let me ask you something.
34:53I need a little creative advice.
34:55Uh, okay. What is it?
34:59Okay, there's this really great guy that I really want to thank.
35:03You know, show him my appreciation for something he did.
35:06You got any ideas?
35:08Oh, well, King, I'm flattered.
35:11I was thinking of a card or something.
35:14Oh, no, no. Cards are nice, but this sounds like a very special guy.
35:20Uh-huh.
35:21It sounds like the kind of guy who deserves a parade.
35:27A parade? Hmm.
35:30Yeah, I think this guy should be dressed in royal robes
35:35and be marched through the whole city on your horse.
35:39And maybe you should even let him wear one of your crowns.
35:44I guess he is pretty special.
35:47And one of your most noble princes should lead this man through the streets proclaiming,
35:54This is a really neat guy.
35:57The king really likes him.
36:00He's brave and has rugged good looks.
36:10You see, Heyman, you're the creative one around here.
36:14What would I do without you?
36:16Oh, well, you know, thank you, your highness. I, uh...
36:19All those things you mentioned? Every last one?
36:22Do that for the good god Mordecai, the man who saved my life.
36:29And you be the one to go with him on that parade, okay?
36:33I knew I could count on you.
36:35Lucky thing you dropped by.
36:37Now, what was it you wanted?
36:40You know, maybe you should just ask me tomorrow.
36:43I'm getting kind of sleepy.
36:45Good night.
36:46Good night.
36:51They say that pride comes before a fall.
36:54Looks like nobody told that to Heyman.
36:57But if Mordecai, Esther and their whole family are gonna be saved,
37:01Esther's gotta come through.
37:03And she's only got one more chance.
37:17I wonder where Heyman could be.
37:19See ya, Heyman. Thanks for the parade.
37:23Laugh all you want. You won't be laughing tomorrow.
37:28Uh, no, wait. You will. Oh, never mind.
37:32Hi. Sorry I'm late.
37:36The real reason I called both of you here again tonight is to...
37:41Remember, Esther, you never need to be afraid to do what's right.
37:47Your Highness, someone is plotting against my family.
37:52Tomorrow, my people and I will be banished to the Island of Perpetual Tickling.
37:56What? Banish my queen?
37:58Who would dare?
38:00I'm not afraid of you.
38:02I'm not afraid of you.
38:04I'm not afraid of you.
38:06I'm not afraid of you.
38:08Queen? Who would dare?
38:10It's Heyman.
38:13Is this true?
38:14I don't know what she's talking about. She's crazy.
38:18It is true.
38:19Can you prove this, George?
38:21I'm telling you, she's making it up.
38:26Wait a minute. That's Mordecai.
38:28I just gave him a parade.
38:31Mordecai is my cousin.
38:33His family is my family.
38:37You had me banish the man who saved my life and my own queen?
38:44For your punishment, Heyman, you ought to be sent to the Island of Perpetual Tickling
38:49along with anyone else who dares scheme against my queen and her family.
39:07Please.
39:10Are you kidding me?
39:14So Heyman got what was coming to him, an ensign.
39:19And Mordecai, this is my favorite part, he got Heyman's old job.
39:24The number two guy in the whole kingdom. Not bad.
39:37And Esther, what a gal.
39:39She showed more courage than ten kings and saved her people.
39:44Now, she wasn't born for greatness.
39:46She didn't go to school for it.
39:48She just learned that sometimes God has plans so big only he can see them.
39:54All she had to do was believe.
39:57Yup, she was just a regular kid.
40:01Just like you.
40:06I love you.
40:36I love you.
41:06I love you.
41:36Puppies are cuddly. Puppies are cute.
