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 questions.
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.
00:43What should he do?
00:44Ooh, a lie can be a very dangerous thing. Do we have any stories about that?
00:51Bob, 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.
01:32Oh, 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.
01:44Yeah, that was great.
01:50What do you suppose that is?
01:59I'm bored, Jerry. B-O-R-D, bored.
02:04Why did we want to work at the Bumbleyburg Science Lab?
02:07Because we wanted to see space aliens.
02:10And what have we seen in two long years? Huh?
02:14Nothing. Nothing. N-U-T, you know, nothing.
02:19Gimme.
02:20Watch the screen, they said. Keep your eyes on the screen.
02:24So we watched the screen for two years, and what do we see? Nothing.
02:30Gimme.
02:31And then there's the light.
02:33If this light ever flashes, something from space is about to hit Bumbleyburg. Alert Larry Boy immediately.
02:41Gimme.
02:42Like that'll ever happen. I'm telling you, Jerry, this is the most boring job on Earth.
02:49Maybe we could get our old jobs back at Mr. Slushy.
02:53What?
03:12Ah, Master Larry. Excuse me, Master Larry.
03:16Yes, Alfred.
03:18Ah.
03:22No time now, Alfred. Duty calls.
03:26I've fallen and I can't get up.
03:47Oh.
04:08The tea party is almost ready. We just need one more plate for Mr. Snuggly.
04:15Hmm. Another plate.
04:19I know just where to get one.
04:21Where?
04:22Up there.
04:27Um, that looks like a very special plate. Maybe we could find another one.
04:32Oh, it is a special plate. My dad says...
04:36Let's just find another plate.
04:39Mr. Snuggly is a very special bear. He deserves a special plate. I'm sure my dad won't mind.
04:46Let'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.
05:16Oh, I just remembered. I was supposed to wash my, um... I have to take out the, um... I gotta go.
05:31Psst. Hey, kid. Looks like you got a problem.
05:35Huh? Who said that?
05:37If you're interested, I think I can help.
05:40Mr. Snuggly? You can talk?
05:44Well, I've never been called Mr. Snuggly before, but of course I can talk.
05:48Actually, the name is Fibrillus Minimus, but you can call me Fib.
05:53You must be new to the neighborhood.
05:56You could say that, but more importantly, I'm here to help you out. I couldn't help but notice you broke the plate.
06:02Yeah, I...
06:04And I imagine your father's not gonna be thrilled.
06:07Well, yeah.
06:09Now listen closely. What you need is a story.
06:13You mean like a bedtime story?
06:15No, no, no, no. Now try to keep up here, kid.
06:18You need to make up a story about how somebody else broke the plate.
06:23You mean you want me to lie?
06:26Oh, no, no, no, no. Not a lie.
06:28What we are talking about here is just a little fib.
06:32People do it all the time. Trust me.
06:34A little fib couldn't hurt anybody.
06:37I'm home.
06:39Well, it's up to you, kid. Break a leg.
06:44Hi, Junior. How was your day today?
06:50My plate! My Art Bugatti Limited Edition Collector's Plate!
06:54What happened to it?
07:00Well...
07:03It's Laura's fault. She broke the plate.
07:07I tried to stop her.
07:09She said she had to demonstrate her apple chopper.
07:13The apple chopper worked just great, but chopped her through your bowling plate.
07:17It's Laura's fault. She broke the plate. It's true.
07:20And that's the tale I have to tell to you.
07:24Oh, my.
07:26If that's what you say happened, then, well, I trust you, Junior.
07:30But I'm very surprised at Laura.
07:32I'm going to have to call her father right away.
07:37You did it! Good work, kid!
07:40Huh? Have you grown?
07:42Oh, no, no. I've always been this size.
07:44But you! You were magnificent!
07:47I don't know. What about Laura?
07:50Oh, she'll be fine.
07:52Remember, a little fib couldn't hurt anybody.
07:55And besides, it's over! You're free!
07:59You're right.
08:01I don't have to worry about that plate anymore.
08:04I'm free!
08:05You betcha!
08:06I feel great!
08:08You were right! A little fib can't hurt anybody!
08:12That's my boy!
08:14Come on, kid. Let's go have some more fun!
08:17Alrighty! I'm with ya all the way, fib!
08:21Ha-ha-ha-ha!
08:28Laddie-boy! Hello, Master Laddie!
08:31Can you hear me?
08:33Loud and clear, Alfred. Go ahead.
08:35Yes. Have you located the foreign object?
08:40I'm afraid not.
08:41The Larry-mobile and I have been all over Bumblyburg,
08:44and we haven't seen anything that looks like it came from outer space.
08:48Nothing at all?
08:49Well, we did see a kid with green hair.
08:52Oh, and a dog that could whistle.
08:54Oh. All right. Well, keep looking, Master Laddie.
08:58Remember, the security of Bumblyburg rests in your...
09:03uh...
09:04plungers.
09:05Have no fear, Alfred.
09:06If there's a space alien in this town, Larry-boy will bring him in.
09:14Hello, boys.
09:17Hey, Junior!
09:20I'll be right back.
09:22Hi, Percy.
09:24Junior, I just came from Laura's house,
09:27and she got in trouble for breaking your dad's bowling plate.
09:30Except she says she didn't break it.
09:32She says you did.
09:34Who's telling the truth?
09:36Oh. Well, actually, she's right.
09:41Huh?
09:42Laura didn't break the plate.
09:44It was... it was Lenny.
09:48Her brother?
09:49Yep, that's right.
09:51Lenny broke the plate.
09:52I'll tell you the whole story.
09:56It's Lenny's fault he broke the plate.
09:58He's very naughty.
10:00Just how was I to know he hated art bogotti?
10:03He gave it to a crocodile who chewed it up for quite a while.
10:07It's Lenny's fault he broke the plate, it's true.
10:10And that's the tale I have to tell to you.
10:14Whoa, gee.
10:17I didn't think Lenny was capable of that kind of violence.
10:21He seemed like such a nice kid.
10:24I didn't even know he had a crocodile.
10:27This is great.
10:29It worked again, Fib.
10:31Fib, you are growing.
10:34Growing? Oh, no, no.
10:36Well, maybe I put on a few pounds,
10:38but, Junior, I will always be your little Fib.
10:44You've got legs.
10:46Yes, I do.
10:47But enough about me.
10:49Junior, you were marvelous.
10:51What a story.
10:52I'm telling you, kid, you've got the gift.
10:54Really?
10:55Oh, yeah, no doubt about it.
10:57You've got what it takes.
10:59What do you mean you can't find it?
11:01I'm telling you, Alfred.
11:03I've looked everywhere.
11:04It's just not here.
11:06Master Lenny, I've gone all over the data from the science lab,
11:10and I have to agree with their conclusions.
11:12Something from outer space landed in Bumblyburg.
11:16It simply has to be around there somewhere.
11:19Look, Alfred, I've been driving around all day.
11:23I'm tired. I'm hungry.
11:25I've got to go to the bathroom.
11:27This suit is very constricting.
11:29I'm coming home now.
11:31But the security of Bumblyburg rests in your...
11:36There are no space aliens in Bumblyburg.
11:43There he is.
11:45Hi, guys.
11:47If you need me, I'll be over here.
11:50Huh?
11:51What do you mean I broke the plate?
11:53I wasn't over here.
11:54Yes, I see you broke the plate.
11:55I wasn't over here.
11:56Why? Why?
11:58You broke the plate.
11:59You broke the plate.
12:00You broke the plate.
12:01You broke the plate.
12:02Junior!
12:04No.
12:06No, that's not what I said at all.
12:09You didn't break the plate.
12:11And you didn't break the plate.
12:14No.
12:15It was these space aliens.
12:17They came down and they grabbed these cows.
12:20And they switched brains on the cows.
12:22And the cows, with the brains of the space aliens,
12:26broke the plate.
12:30Funny.
12:31I just saw that same thing happen in a movie.
12:35Invasion of the Cow Snatchers.
12:38You did?
12:40That's another lie.
12:42Nothing but a big, fat, ugly...
12:48Huh?
12:51Finn?
12:52Hi, Junior.
12:56What are you doing?
12:58Don't worry, Junior.
13:00A little fib couldn't hurt anybody.
13:04Right?
13:10Help!
13:11It's got me!
13:12I can't get free!
13:31I can be your friend.
13:35I can be your friend.
13:38Great Scott!
13:39It's a monster!
13:41And it's got the wee lad in its clutches.
13:44This is a job for Larry Boy.
13:47Larry Boy.
13:48We need Larry Boy.
13:50Call him.
13:51Beat him.
13:52I don't care how you get him.
13:54Just get him fast.
13:56I'll call you right back.
14:01Oh, 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.
14:18Oh, look!
14:20I get to go all the way to Princess Lolly!
14:23What luck!
14:24Ha!
14:25Your turn.
14:26Still stuck.
14:28I sure hope the rest of Bumblyburg is having a better day than I am.
14:38Alfred, I've got work to do.
14:41Consider our game postponed.
14:45Larry Boy.
14:54Bib!
14:55Why are you doing this to me?
14:58I thought you were my friend.
15:00That's the thing about Bibs, Junior.
15:03We grow.
15:04Now that I'm big, it's my turn to call the shots.
15:09And you belong to me.
15:12Not so fast, Muster!
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 thief.
15:51Yes, I'll get the computer working on it right away.
15:55Can you get to the water tower?
15:59The 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 Bible friend 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.
17:05Wait for it!
17:06The green button!
17:07It's the green one!
17:13He's on game.
17:15It's part of the plan.
17:22I am going to die!
17:24Stop yelling at me!
17:26No yelling!
17:28Yellow!
17:37Die!
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.
18:04Ah, we know what the monster is now.
18:07What is it?
18:08It's a lie.
18:09What's a lie?
18:10It is.
18:11Which part?
18:12The whole thing.
18:13It's a lie.
18:14The monster is a lie.
18:15Oh, my.
18:16Well, how do I stop it?
18:18Um, I'm afraid we don't know that yet.
18:21Drat.
18:29Oh, I don't think you should look, man.
18:32It's not a pretty sight.
18:35Mom!
18:36Dad!
18:37Help!
18:43Alfred, what kind of weapon systems do we have?
18:46Oh, I've thought of all sorts of wonderful little ideas.
18:50Unfortunately, I haven't had time to make them yet.
18:53What?
18:54Perhaps I spent a little too much time on nuclear medicine.
18:57Well, there's only one thing left to do.
19:00What?
19:01What are you doing?
19:02What I should have done all along.
19:04Super suction tube away!
19:31Alfred!
19:32Yes, laddie.
19:33How is it going?
19:34I think now would be a good time for you to tell me how I can stop this lie.
19:39Yes, yes, yes.
19:40Here comes the answer now.
19:42According to my calculations, you can do nothing.
19:47Nothing?
19:48Yes, nothing.
19:49Oh, my.
19:50Oh, my.
19:51Oh, my.
19:52Oh, my.
19:53Oh, my.
19:54Oh, my.
19:55Oh, my.
19:56Oh, my.
19:57Oh, my.
19:58Oh, my.
19:59Oh, my.
20:01Why didn't you tell me that before I jumped on his head?
20:04Well, my calculations were not yet finished.
20:08Even a little lie can get really big really fast.
20:14And a big lie can just swallow you up.
20:18And you know, you made a really big lie.
20:23Oh, my, oh, my.
20:28Maddie, can you hear me?
20:31I've made a discovery.
20:33What?
20:34You can not stop the lie.
20:37Alfred, we've been over this.
20:39No, no, no.
20:40Listen, you can not stop the lie, but someone else can.
20:46What?
20:47Who?
20:48I don't know yet.
20:49The computer's working on it right now.
20:51Now which one of you guys should I eat first?
20:56Alfred! We have no time!
20:59It's baking!
21:01Hmm, you sort of look like candy.
21:06No really, it's spandex. It's quite bitter.
21:08Alfred! I'm getting a reading!
21:13Alfred!
21:14It looks like... it looks like...
21:19Ah! Ah!
21:24Alfred! What's happening?
21:27Ah!
21:33Boot, you transistorized tormentor! Boot!
21:41Goodbye, bubbly bird!
21:49It's Junior!
21:53It's Junior! Junior can stop the light!
22:01I did it!
22:06I broke the plate!
22:09I 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! I'm the one who did it! It was all my fault!
22:40Now 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, I'm sure it was an accident. I just wish you would have told me right away.
23:02I thought you'd be really mad at me.
23:06Junior, 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. What do you think, Dad?
23:20I think you're right. Let's just make sure that from now on we get the true story, the first time.
23:28Oh, doesn't it just warm your heart?
23:32And it's all because of one man, one plunger-headed hero, always ready when Bumbleyburg needs him.
23:39Larry Boy?
23:42Hup, there he goes again.
23:58Wow, that was really something. You did a great job, Larry... Boy.
24:04Thank you, Bob. Um, we need to hurry this along. I have a meeting with the action figure people in ten minutes.
24:10Action figures?
24:12Yes, Bob. Larry Boy Mania is sweeping the nation.
24:15We're going to have a meeting with the action figure people in ten minutes.
24:19Oh, that's great. I can't wait.
24:23Action figures?
24:25Yes, Bob. Larry Boy Mania is sweeping the nation. If you're not on board, you're going to miss the train.
24:30I, uh, I had no idea.
24:33Now you do.
24:35Yes, well, we're over here by QWERTY to talk about what we've learned today.
24:52I like that song. Let it play.
25:03Well, Junior thought the best way to get out of trouble was by telling a lie.
25:08Yep, but to cover up for the first lie, he had to tell more and more lies until finally he was trapped.
25:14A slave to his lies.
25:16That's right. He thought a lie would set him free.
25:19But 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 than getting stuck in a big lie.
25:50Oh, is that right?
25:52Well, we gotta clear the stage now, Bob. It'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!
