Minnesota Cuke: A VeggieTales Movie/Transcript

(Universal Pictures and Big Idea logos start as the scenes fade to white as the credits appear and say "Universal Pictures presents", "a Big Idea production", "Minnesota Cuke: A VeggieTales Movie" and "Created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki".)

Bob the Tomato: Okay, Larry. It's time for the theme song.

Larry the Cucumber: Uh, y-yeah, Bob. What do I do?

Bob: Hmm, let's see. I know! You play the guitar.

Larry: Bob, I don't have any hands.

Bob: Oh, you're right. Well, okay, you play this.

Larry: Oh, I don't want to play that. I'll look silly!

Bob: Oh, come on. It'll be fun!

Larry: Nope. Not gonna do it.

Bob: It's for the audiences.

Larry: Oh. Okay, but they better not laugh.

Bob: All right, better get on out there.

(Larry walks on the screen with a sousaphone. While he's playing it, Bob appears.)

Bob: If you like to talk to tomatoes

Bob, Jimmy and Jerry: If a squash can make you smile

All: If you like to waltz with potatoes

Up and down the produce aisle...

Bob: (clears throat) Excuse me. Have we got a movie for you!

There's never-ever-ever-ever-ever been a movie like VeggieTales

It's time for VeggieTaa-a-aa-a-aa-a-aa-a-ales!

(Larry collapses then kids giggle and laugh at him. The scene fades to Bob and Larry at the kitchen countertop.)

Bob: Hello, everybody, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato.

Larry: And I'm Larry the Cucumber.

Bob: And we're here to answer your questions.

Larry: That's right.

Bob: Now, today, we have a letter from Sam Whitacre of Lutz, Florida who writes...

Sam: "Dear Bob and Larry, I'm Samuel Joseph Whitacre, and I'm 24 years old. Sometimes I feel happy along with my family. If everyone feels happy, how can I be happy when we have some fun? Can you think of happiness?"

Larry: Ooh, I know how I feel happy for you and your family.

Bob: Yeah, well, how did it go, Larry?

Larry: Actually, my Aunt Ruth and I had a wonderful time at the aquarium and the mall. We even went to the movies, the park and... you know, the restaurant.

Bob: Oh, I know all about happiness, Sam Whitacre. It means the state of being happy. And now, watch the story about when Junior Asparagus has a very special day. It's called "Junior's Happy Day".

(Bob opens a pop-up book as the camera zooms in and the scene fades to Junior Asparagus who wakes up.)

Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Junior Asparagus, who lived in a house with his happy family. Now, Junior was like mostly asparaguses, he had best friends, and his parents totally loved him. Now, one day, while Junior was reading his favorite storybook, his father sat next to him.

(Dad Asparagus opens the bedroom door and sits next to Junior.)

Dad Asparagus: Today's the big day, Junior. We'll have some fun, and have a lovely happy day.

Junior: All right.
