Prologue: Carl, Elmer, Alan and Penny’s introduction/Carl’s dream vision
Past Carl: [Laughing Wildly]

Carl: (narrating) That’s me, Carl the Pumpkin.

'Past Carl: “Where’d you all go? oh there you are.”'

Carl: (still narrating) I’ve got the best entire life in the universe.

Past Carl: [Laughing Wildly Again]

Carl: (still narrating) These are my 3 best friends for life: Elmer the Eggplant, Alan the Apple and Penny the Persimmon, they’re the good friends anybody could always have.

Carl, Elmer, Alan and Penny are being measured.

Carl: (narrating) Yeah right, I know exactly what you’re thinking: we could be a real good team.

Carl: (still narrating) Here’s exactly where we live: Dinkle Town,

The picture zooms in on a Dinkle Town Elementary School photograph.

Carl: (still narrating) the best town you could always grow up in.

Carl: (still narrating) Elmer, Alan, Penny and I did everything together as always, and just as the years went by, they were always there for me.

Past Carl: “I got it, hey, Elmer, throw it to me, throw it to me!”

Past Elmer tosses Past Carl up in mid-Air, and Past Carl catches the baseball with his baseball glove.

Carl: (narrating) We were a very good team.

Past Penny: “Nice job, Carl.”

Past Carl: “Thanks a bunch, you guys.”

Past Carl: [Grunting A Bit]

Carl: (narrating) Oh don’t get me wrong, it’s not that perfect.

The scene goes over to the Veggie Carnival……

Past Laura: “That was super fun and thrilling.”

Carl: (still narrating) “Nothing is.”

Past Carl: [Sighs Heavily]

Past Jimmy: “Whoa, sorry there, buddy.” 

Past Junior: “I wanna do that again.”

Past Lenny: “Come on, I’ll ride with all of you.” 

Past Annie: “Hurry up, you guys.”

Carl: (narrating) Even the bright sun shiny days can have a few clouds in them.

Elmer: “Never mind that, Carl, the Bob-Erino is bogus anyway, you wanna rent a DVD at the video department store?”

Carl: “Hey, that’s a great idea, Elmer.”

Alan: “Let’s rent a DVD at the video department store.”

Penny: “Let’s go rent a VeggieTales film on DVD.”

The scene goes right over to Carl, Elmer, Alan and Penny’s boarding house….

Carl: (still narrating) And well, that entire night sort of changed everything.”

The 4 best friends for life are watching Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hairbrush and the Silly Songs with Larry segment: Pizza Angel.

Silly Songs with Larry Announcer: “And now it’s time for Silly Songs with Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song.”

Carl: (narrating) “I finally found them: the original classic VeggieTales, much better than the VeggieTales in the House designs, I guess you could say we were all there number 1 fans, from tomatoes and cucumbers and carrots and asparaguses and gourds and pickles and pumpkins and rhubarbs and all sorts of vegetables and fruits living in your local neighborhood.

Past Carl: “Oh, Penny, it’s an entire map of Veggie Town.”

TV Larry: “Got the munchies on that faithful night, but I had the feeling that something wasn’t right, so I phoned in a pizza for delivery and I waited for hours and no pizza.”

[Music On Television Screen]

'TV Larry: I set the table with a paper plate, how would I know that it be late? it’s taking so long, where could it be? had a 30 minute guarantee'

[Music Upbeats On Television Screen]

TV Larry: Pizza Angel, please come to me, tomato sauce and cheese so gooey, Pizza Angel, I’m on my knees, you’re my number 1 pie from Sicily

 

Carl: (still narrating) Then 1 time, they asked me, Elmer, Alan and Penny to be on their show with them.

Bob: “Hey, Carl, Elmer, Alan, Penny, come join the show with all of us.”

Jimmy: “We just need 4 more good friends: a pumpkin, an eggplant, a red apple and a persimmon on our show.”

Carl: “Okay, here goes.”

Carl is about to go 1st, but is having a very hard time jumping right into the television screen.

Carl: “What’s going on? let me in here, let me in here!”

The scene goes right outta Carl’s dream vision and Carl is tossing and turning in his bed.

Carl: “Let me in here, let me in here!”

Elmer: “Hey, Carl, did you have the dream vision again?”

Carl: “Yes, you guys, of course I did.”

Alan: “And look, Carl, a post card and free good tickets to the charter bus ride to Veggie Town.”

Carl: “Wow, Veggie Town, I can’t believe this, this is really exciting, who knows? maybe Bob and Larry will be there.”

Penny: “We wouldn’t get our hopes up, Carl, the VeggieTales gang hasn’t been putting on other shows or movies in a couple of ages.”

Carl: “Veggie Town, here we come.”

Elmer: “You’re absolutely right, Carl, we’d better hurry up and catch that charter bus.”

Penny: “Right, let’s go, we don’t wanna miss it.”

The 4 best friends for life get ready for their big day ahead of them, give the tickets to the charter bus driver, then get on the charter bus to go all the way down to Veggie Town.

Bob: “Yes, you guys, it is.”

Larry: “It’s really serious this time.”

George: “It’s Peter Pomegranate, he wants to buy up my entire bowlin’ alley so he can tear it down and put up a fancy library.”

Peter Pomegranate (on the television screen): “And when I tear down this bowling alley, I’m gonna put up a fancy library.”

Carl: “Oh my word, that’s terrible and horrible, we’d better go tell Junior, Laura, Lenny, Annie, Percy, Palmy and the others right way!”

Bob: “Right, let’s go, but 1st, let’s go tell Junior and Libby about this.”

Junior: “Will the bowling ball make it right to the bowling pins? (the bowling ball knocks down the bowling pins) yes, it did, it knocked them down.”

Junior steps away and it’s now Laura’s turn.
