(Universal Pictures, DreamWorks Pictures and Big Idea logos start. The scene fades to white background and credits appear and say "Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures present", "a Big Idea production", and "Created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki".)

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

Larry: 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, well, you play this!

Larry: I don't wanna 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 kids.

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 plays 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!

All: VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales!

VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales!

Bob: ''Broccoli! Celery! Gotta be...''

All: VeggieTales!

Junior: ''Lima beans! Collard greens! Peachy keen!''

All: VeggieTales!

Larry: ''Cauliflower! Sweet and sour! One full hour!''

All: ''VeggieTales! There's never-ever-ever-ever been a movie like VeggieTales! There's never-ever-ever-ever been a movie like VeggieTales! It's time for VeggieTa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ales!''

(Larry collapses as Jean-Claude shouts and falls into a sousaphone. Larry blows Jean-Claude out of a sousaphone as the veggies laugh. The scene fades to the park as Art, Barney, Emma, Junior Asparagus, Laura Carrot, Percy Pea, Annie Onion, Tom Grape, Rosie Grape, and Lenny Carrot play at the playground. We see Bob, Larry, Petunia Rhubarb, Madame Blueberry, Dad Asparagus, Mom Asparagus, Pa Grape, Ma Grape, and Archibald Asparagus who sit on a wide bench.)

Bob: Wow, Larry, what a great idea you had to come to the park today.

Larry: Yes, Bob. Going to the park is the happiest day of our lives.

Petunia: It sure is, honey.

Bob: Aw, shucks. (to the audience) Oh! 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: Yep, that's right.

Bob: I bet you're wondering why Larry and Petunia have kids. After they marry each other, Petunia was pregnant so Larry took her to the hospital and she gave birth to two cucumbers and one rhubarb. And yes, their names are Art, Barney and Emma.

Barney, Art and Emma: Hi!

Larry: Petunia.

Petunia: Yes, Larry?

Larry: Today, we have a letter from Samuel Joseph Whitacre of Lutz, Florida. And he writes, "Dear Bob and Larry, I'm Samuel Joseph Whitacre of Lutz, Florida, and I'm 23 years old. I felt quietly depressed that I've never had anything that could make me happy. So I was wondering if you could help me feel happy."

Petunia: Oh, dear.

Larry: Oh, dear is right.

Bob: Gee, Sam, I know all about happiness. Madame Blueberry, can you define happiness?

Madame Blueberry: Sure. Happiness means the state of being happy. What do you think, Pa Grape?

Pa Grape: I think that seems useful, Mrs. Blueberry. And happiness can come in many forms.

Archibald: Oh, my. This seems more wonderful than I thought.

Bob: Larry, can you tell the kids to come over and tell them the story please?

Larry: Sure, Bob. (clears throat) Art, Barney, Emma, Junior, Annie, Tom, Rosie, Laura, Lenny, Percy, come on over. (Their children come to them) Are you all having fun today?

All: Yes, Larry.

Larry: Very good, children. I'll tell you the story of Minnesota Cuke and his search for the harp of King David. It's about Cuke who searches for King David's harp as he and his friends would travel to a kingdom called the Leek Kingdom in order to make the king very happy. Roll film and... action!

(The scene cuts to black as the screen fades to the sky then the title appears and says "Minnesota Cuke and the Harp of King David: A VeggieTales Movie" and the title fades then the camera pans down to the Atlantic Ocean and the camera moves forward to Minnesota Children's Museum.)

Narrator: Once upon a time, in the land of America, there lived an adventurer named Minnesota Cuke. When Cuke was 8 years old, he wanted to be an adventurer just like his father. His father moved to San Francisco and became a solar engineer. Cuke also met a tomato named Martin or should he say Marty. He met a rhubarb named Julia and she became his love interest. He searched for Samson's hairbrush and Noah's umbrella. And now, he would search for the harp of King David with the help of his friends.
