00:00Hi, kids, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato.
00:05And I'm Larry the Cucumber, and we're here to answer your question.
00:09That's right. So, who's got a question?
00:14Oh, hey, I just remembered. I got an e-mail from a kid named Ezio Vieri in Hackensack, New Jersey.
00:21You got a what?
00:23You know, Bob. E-mail. Aren't you wired? Online. Surfing the web. HTML good buddy.
00:29Oh, I got cable last month.
00:32You are so early 90s.
00:34Anyway, Ezio said he just did something that he knew he wasn't supposed to do.
00:39Now his friends are telling him to lie about it so he won't get in trouble.
00:42What should he do?
00:44Ooh, a lie can be a very dangerous thing. Do we have any stories about that?
00:50Bob, I'm all over it.
00:52Huh?
00:53The same thing happened to Junior Asparagus once.
00:56It did? I don't remember.
00:58Ezio, grab your popcorn, turn down the lights, and get ready for Larry Boy and the Fib from Outer Space.
01:08Roll film.
01:10Huh? Larry?
01:29Oh, that was a great movie.
01:31Oh, it sure was. I especially liked the part where the space aliens sucked all those cows up into their spaceship
01:38and then switched brains with the cows so they could come back to Earth and infiltrate our society unnoticed.
01:43Yeah, that was great.
01:50What do you suppose that is?
01:59I'm bored, Jerry. B-O-R-D, bored.
02:03Why did we want to work at the Bumbleyburg Science Lab?
02:06Because we wanted to see space aliens.
02:09And what have we seen in two long years? Huh?
02:13Nothing. Nothing. M-U-T... you know, nothing.
02:18Jimmy?
02:19Watch the screen, they said. Keep your eyes on the screen.
02:23So we watched the screen for two years, and what do we see? Nothing.
02:29Jimmy?
02:30And then there's the light.
02:32If this light ever flashes, something from space is about to hit Bumbleyburg. Alert Larry Boy immediately.
02:40Jimmy?
02:41Like that'll ever happen. I'm telling you, Jerry, this is the most boring job on Earth.
02:47Maybe we could get our old jobs back at Mr. Slushy.
02:51Slushy? What?
03:12Ah, Master Larry. Excuse me, Master Larry.
03:15Yes, Alfred.
03:21No time now, Alfred. Duty calls.
03:25I've fallen and I can't get up.
03:51The tea party is almost ready. We just need one more plate for Mr. Snuggly.
04:14Hmm. Another plate.
04:18I know just where to get one.
04:21Where?
04:22Up there.
04:26Um, that looks like a very special plate. Maybe we could find another one.
04:32Oh, it is a special plate. My dad says...
04:36That's Aunt Bugatti, the greatest bowler that ever rolled a ball. Only 200 plates made. It's collectible.
04:45Let's just find another plate.
04:48Mr. Snuggly is a very special bear. He deserves a special plate. I'm sure my dad won't mind.
05:15Oh, I just remembered. I was supposed to wash my, um... I have to take out the, um... I gotta go.
05:30Psst. Hey, kid. Looks like you got a problem.
05:34Huh? Who said that?
05:36If you're interested, I think I can help.
05:39Mr. Snuggly? You can talk?
05:43Well, I've never been called Mr. Snuggly before, but of course I can talk.
05:47Actually, the name is Fibrillus Minimus, but you can call me Fib.
05:52You must be new to the neighborhood.
05:55You could say that, but more importantly, I'm here to help you out. I couldn't help but notice you broke the plate.
06:01Yeah, I...
06:03And I imagine your father's not gonna be thrilled.
06:07Well, yeah.
06:08Now listen closely. What you need is a story.
06:12You mean like a bedtime story?
06:14No, no, no, no. Now try to keep up here, kid.
06:17You need to make up a story about how somebody else broke the plate.
06:22You mean you want me to lie?
06:25Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Not a lie.
06:27What we are talking about here is just a little fib. People do it all the time. Trust me.
06:33A little fib couldn't hurt anybody.
06:36I'm home.
06:38Well, it's up to you, kid. Break a leg.
06:43Hi, Junior. How was your day today?
06:49My plate! My Art Bugatti Limited Edition Collector's Plate! What happened to it?
06:59Well...
07:02It's Laura's fault. She broke the plate.
07:06I tried to stop her.
07:08She said she had to demonstrate her apple chopper.
07:12The apple chopper worked just great, but chopped her through your bowling plate.
07:16It's Laura's fault. She broke the plate. It's true.
07:19And that's the tale I have to tell to you.
07:23Oh, my. If that's what you say happened, then, well, I trust you, Junior.
07:29But I'm very surprised at Laura. I'm gonna have to call her father right away.
07:36You did it! Good work, kid!
07:39Huh? Have you grown?
07:41Oh, no, no. I've always been this size. But you! You were magnificent!
07:46I don't know. What about Laura?
07:49Oh, she'll be fine. Remember, a little fib couldn't hurt anybody.
07:54And besides, it's over! You're free!
07:58You're right. I don't have to worry about that plate anymore. I'm free!
08:04You betcha!
08:05I feel great! You were right! A little fib can't hurt anybody!
08:11That's my boy! Come on, kid. Let's go have some more fun!
08:15Alrighty! I'm with you all the way, fib!
08:27Laddie boy! Hello, Master Laddie! Can you hear me?
08:32Loud and clear, Alfred. Go ahead.
08:34Yes. Have you located the foreign object?
08:39I'm afraid not. The Larrymobile and I have been all over Bumblyburg, and we haven't seen anything that looks like it came from outer space.
08:47Nothing at all?
08:48Well, we did see a kid with green hair. Oh, and a dog that could whistle.
08:54Oh. All right. Well, keep looking, Master Laddie. Remember, the security of Bumblyburg rests in your... plungers.
09:04Have no fear, Alfred. If there's a space alien in this town, Larry boy will bring him in.
09:13Hello, boys.
09:17Hey, Junior!
09:20I'll be right back.
09:21Hi, Percy!
09:22Junior, I just came from Laura's house, and she got in trouble for breaking your dad's bowling plate.
09:28Except she says she didn't break it. She says you did. Who's telling the truth?
09:34Oh. Well, actually, she's right.
09:39Huh?
09:40Laura didn't break the plate. It was... it was... Winnie!
09:45Her brother?
09:47Her brother?
09:48Yep, that's right. Winnie broke the plate. I'll tell you the whole story.
09:56It's Winnie's fault he broke the plate. He's very naughty.
09:59Just how was I to know he hated art bogatti?
10:02He gave it to a crocodile who chewed it up for quite a while.
10:06It's Winnie's fault he broke the plate, it's true.
10:09And that's the tale I have to tell to you.
10:12Whoa, gee. I didn't think Lenny was capable of that kind of violence.
10:17He seemed like such a nice kid. I didn't even know he had a crocodile.
10:24This is great. It worked again, Fib.
10:28Fib, you are growing.
10:31Growing? Oh, no, no.
10:33Well, maybe I put on a few pounds, but Junior, I will always be your little Fib.
10:39You've got legs.
10:41Yes, I do.
10:42But enough about me. Junior, you were marvelous.
10:45What a story. I'm telling you, kid, you've got the gift.
10:49Really?
10:50Oh, yeah, no doubt about it. You've got what it takes.
10:54What do you mean you can't find it?
10:56I'm telling you, Alfred. I've looked everywhere. It's just not here.
11:00Master Lenny, I've gone all over the data from the science lab to find it.
11:05Master Lenny, I've gone all over the data from the science lab and I have to agree with their conclusions.
11:11Something from outer space landed in Bumblyburg.
11:15It simply has to be around there somewhere.
11:18Look, Alfred, I've been driving around all day.
11:22I'm tired. I'm hungry. I've got to go to the bathroom.
11:26This suit is very constricting. I'm coming home now.
11:30But the security of Bumblyburg rests in your...
11:35There are no space aliens in Bumblyburg.
11:42There he is.
11:44Hi, guys.
11:46If you need me, I'll be over here.
11:49Huh?
11:50What do you mean I broke the plate? I wasn't the one who broke it.
11:54Why? Why?
11:57Get the plate.
11:59Get me up and fly.
12:01Hey, Junior.
12:04No. No, that's not what I said at all.
12:08You didn't break the plate.
12:10And you didn't break the plate.
12:13No.
12:14It was these space aliens.
12:16They came down and they grabbed these cows.
12:19And they switched brains with the cows.
12:21And the cows, with the brains of the space aliens, broke the plate.
12:28Funny.
12:30I just saw that same thing happen in a movie.
12:34Invasion of the Cow Snatchers.
12:37You did?
12:39That's another lie.
12:41Nothing but a big, fat, ugly...
12:47Huh?
12:50Fin?
12:51Hi, Junior.
12:55What are you doing?
12:57Don't worry, Junior.
12:59A little fib couldn't hurt anybody.
13:03Right?
13:09Help! It's got me!
13:12I can't get free!
13:25Help!
13:31I can be your friend.
13:34I can be your friend.
13:37Great Scott! It's a monster!
13:40And it's got the wee lad in its clutches.
13:43This is a job for Larry Boy.
13:46Larry Boy. We need Larry Boy.
13:49Call him. Beat him.
13:51I don't care how you get him.
13:53Just get him fast.
13:55I'll call you right back.
14:02Oh, the inhumanity.
14:05Larry Boy, where could he be?
14:10I'm still stuck in the molasses swamp.
14:13I've been here for 38 turns.
14:15Your turn, Alfred.
14:17Yes, let's see.
14:19Look, I get to go all the way to Princess Lolly.
14:23What luck!
14:25Your turn.
14:27Still stuck.
14:29I sure hope the rest of Bumblyburg is having a better day than I am.
14:39Alfred, I've got work to do.
14:41Consider our game postponed.
14:50Fib!
14:52Why are you doing this to me?
14:55I thought you were my friend.
14:57That's the thing about Fibs, Junior.
15:00We grow.
15:02Now that I'm big, it's my turn to call the shots.
15:06And you belong to me.
15:09Not so fast, monster.
15:12Huh?
15:15Huh?
15:18If anyone can stop that Fib, Larry Boy can.
15:23Drop the asparagus.
15:26Why don't you come and make me, little purple man?
15:31If that's the way it's gotta be.
15:39Larry, what's happening?
15:41The monster is headed toward the Bumblyburg water tower.
15:44He is carrying a small asparagus.
15:47Alfred, we must find a way to stop this beast.
15:51Yes, I'll get the computer working on it right away.
15:55Can you get to the water tower?
15:58The road is blocked.
16:00I'm afraid I'll have to go on foot.
16:02Well, I've made a few modifications to the Larry Mobile that might just do the trick.
16:07You have?
16:08Well, you know, I like to tinker in my spare time.
16:12Is that what all these new buttons are for?
16:14That's right.
16:15Unfortunately, I haven't had time to label them.
16:18Oh dear.
16:19But if you do exactly what I say, everything should work out fine.
16:23I think.
16:29Let's see if your little boyfriend can help you up here.
16:39What's he doing?
16:41I don't know.
16:42Maybe he fell asleep.
16:44Well, somebody should go wake him up.
16:50Now, once you get up to speed, all you have to do is press the green button.
16:55No, no, the blue button.
16:57Alfred, I'm going to run out of road.
17:00Which button is it?
17:01The blue button.
17:02Press the blue button.
17:06The green button.
17:07It's the green one.
17:13He's on game.
17:14It's part of the plan.
17:21I am going to die.
17:24Stop yelling at me.
17:26No yelling.
17:27Yellow, yellow, yellow.
17:35I am going to die.
17:43Well, in the name of Fergus MacDonaldson.
17:51So, this is what you do in your spare time.
17:53Well, not all of it.
17:55I also dabble in biochemistry, nuclear medicine, you know, this and that.
18:00So, how do we stop this thing?
18:02Oh, yes, that.
18:03Let's see here.
18:04We know what the monster is now.
18:06What is it?
18:07It's a lie.
18:08What's a lie?
18:09It is.
18:10Which part?
18:11The whole thing.
18:12It's a lie.
18:13The monster is a lie.
18:15Oh, my.
18:16Well, how do I stop it?
18:18I'm afraid we don't know that yet.
18:21Trap.
18:29Oh, I don't think you should look, man.
18:31It's not a pretty sight.
18:34Mom!
18:35Dad!
18:36Help!
18:42Alfred, what kind of weapon systems do we have?
18:45Oh, I've thought of all sorts of wonderful little ideas.
18:49Unfortunately, I haven't had time to make them yet.
18:52What?
18:53Perhaps I spent a little too much time on nuclear medicine.
18:56Well, there's only one thing left to do.
18:59What?
19:00What are you doing?
19:01What I should have done all along.
19:03Don't worry.
19:04Not today.
19:05Away!
19:34Alfred?
19:35Yes, laddie.
19:36How is it going?
19:37I think now would be a good time for you to tell me how I can stop this lie.
19:42Yes, yes, yes.
19:43Here comes the answer now.
19:45According to my calculations, you can do nothing.
19:50Nothing?
19:51Yes, nothing.
19:52Why didn't you tell me that before I jumped out of this thing?
19:58Well, my calculations were not yet finished.
20:02Even a little lie can get really big really fast.
20:07And a big lie can just swallow you up.
20:11And you made a really big lie!
20:28Maddy Boy!
20:29Can you hear me?
20:31I've made a discovery!
20:33What?
20:34You cannot stop the lie!
20:37Alfred, we've been over this.
20:39No, no, no.
20:40Listen.
20:41You cannot stop the lie, but someone else can.
20:45What?
20:46Who?
20:47I don't know yet.
20:48The computer is working on it right now.
20:51Now, which way you pay should I eat rice?
20:55Alfred!
20:56We have no time!
20:58It's faking!
21:00Hmm.
21:02You sort of look like candy.
21:05No, really.
21:06It's spandex.
21:07It's quite bitter.
21:08Alfred!
21:09I'm getting a reading!
21:12Alfred!
21:13It looks like...
21:15It looks like...
21:20Ah!
21:22Ah!
21:24Alfred!
21:25What's happening?
21:27Ah!
21:33Boot, you transistorized tormentor!
21:37Boot!
21:41Goodbye, bubbly bird!
21:48It's Junior!
21:51It's Junior!
21:54Junior can stop the lie!
22:00I did it!
22:05I broke the plate!
22:13I said Laura broke the plate and that was a lie!
22:19I said Lenny broke the plate and that was a lie, too!
22:25It was me!
22:26I'm the one who did it!
22:28It was all my fault!
22:42Now, how do I get down from here?
22:45There's a problem I know I can handle!
22:53Dad, I'm really sorry about your plate.
22:57Oh, Junior.
22:58I'm sure it was an accident.
23:00I just wish you would have told me right away.
23:02I thought you'd be really mad at me.
23:05Junior, you're much more important to me than any old bowling plate.
23:11I guess I should be punished, huh?
23:15I think what you've been through today was punishment enough.
23:18What do you think, Dad?
23:20I think you're right.
23:22Let's just make sure that from now on we get the true story, the first time.
23:29Oh, doesn't it just warm your heart?
23:32And it's all because of one man, one plunger-headed hero
23:36always ready when Bumbley Bird needs him.
23:40Larry Boy?
23:43Hup! There he goes again!
24:07Wow, that was really something!
24:10You did a great job, Larry... Boy.
24:13Thank you, Bob.
24:14Um, we need to hurry this along.
24:16I have a meeting with the action figure people in ten minutes.
24:19Action figures?
24:20Yes, Bob.
24:21Larry Boy Mania is sweeping the nation.
24:23If you're not on board, you're going to miss the train.
24:26I, uh, I had no idea.
24:28Now you do.
24:29Yes, well, we're over here by the train station.
24:33Yes, well, we're over here by QWERTY to talk about what we've learned today.
24:51I like that song. Let it play.
24:54You see, we know that God's word is for everyone.
24:58And now that our song is done, we'll take a leak.
25:02Well, Junior thought the best way to get out of trouble was by telling a lie.
25:07Yep, but to cover up for the first lie, he had to tell more and more lies
25:11until finally he was trapped.
25:13A slave to his lies.
25:15That's right. He thought a lie would set him free.
25:18But in the end, the only way for him to get free was by telling the truth.
25:23Let's see if QWERTY has a verse for us.
25:32You see, Ezio, the only way for us to really be free is by doing what God wants us to do.
25:37And God wants us to always tell the truth.
25:40I'm not saying that you won't get punished for what you did,
25:43but as Junior learned, facing your parents can be a lot less painful
25:47than getting stuck in a big lie.
25:50Oh, is that right?
25:52Well, we gotta clear the stage now, Bob.
25:54It's time for the world premiere of my new music video.
25:56You're what?
25:58You're joking, right?
26:01He's not joking.
26:03Larry, we gotta talk!
