VeggieTales: King George and the Ducky Page #2

Season #2 Episode #13

---

Louis:
Uh, King George? Sire? Do you think you can come out soon? We have an important business to discuss.

King George:
What do you think, Ducky?

Ducky:
(squeaks)

King George:
Oh, I couldn't agree more! Uh, not right now, Louis. We're not finished with our royal bath!

Louis:
It's urgent, sir!

King George:
Oh, Ducky. Why can't they just leave us alone?

Bob:
(Narrating) Yes, because you see, the kingdom was at war. (pies are thrown around) The Great Pie War, to be exact.

(A pea soldier screams before getting hit in the face with a pie.)

Bob:
(Narrating) And usually when the kingdom was at war, the king would, uh, help.

King George:
It'll have to wait, Louis! First things first! Right, Ducky?

Ducky:
(squeaks)

Bob:
(Narrating) King George loved to take baths. But most of all, King George loved his Ducky.

King George:
Some kings love horses, and some kings love cattle. Some kings love leading their troops into battle. But me, I'm not like that. I find that stuff... yucky! I'd much rather stay in my tub with my ducky.

(Louis waits outside the bathroom, until King George opens the door, the door knocking Louis back.)

King George:
Because I love my duck!

Louis:
Uh, sir, if I could have a minute?

King George:
Love my duck!

Louis:
There are some things we must discuss!

King George:
I love my duck!

Louis:
See, there's a war and, well, we're in it

King George:
Love my duck!

Louis:
Though I don't mean to make a fuss

King George:
Then, don't. Sing with me, Louis!

Louis:
Huh? Oh, okay. (clears his throat) Because he loves his duck

King George:
And that is why I can't be bothered

Louis:
Loves his duck

King George:
With the particulars of war!

Louis:
He loves his duck

King George:
'Cause quite unlike my dear old father

Louis:
Loves his duck

King George:
I find it all a bore! Now concentrate, dear Louis, and I think you will agree. The most important person in the whole wide world is me. So please don't drag me down with all the people and their troubles. Go run some water in my tub to freshen up my bubbles.

Ducky:
(squeaks)

Louis:
Oh boy.

King George:
Because I love my duck!

Louis:
I don't know why I even try

King George:
Love my duck!

Louis:
You just can't reason with this guy!

Both:
Because he/I loves/love his/my duck!

Louis:
It's time to face the facts, I think we're all a little stuck!

King George:
So let the army run amok!

Louis:
I fear the kingdom's out of luck!

Both:
Because he/I loves/love his/my duck!

Louis:
Yes, undoubtedly, we're stuck!

King George:
So let the army run amok!

Louis:
Oh boy, we're really out of luck!

King George:
Because I love my-

(King George suddenly sees something, as his ducky hits him on the head.)

King George:
Hey, what's that?

(King George looks out over the balcony, but his personal binoculars don't work.)

King George:
Give me a quarter.

(Louis gives King George a quarter, before he inserts the quarter into the binoculars, turning them on, as King George zooms in on a house, where a young boy named Thomas is also in the bath with his own ducky, which King George is intrigued to see. Thomas smiles at his ducky.)

Thomas:
Because I love my duck, you're always there to make me smile. I love my duck, you're my very favorite toy. (hums while brushing the ducky) Because I love my duck.

(King George is even more enamored with Thomas's ducky.)

King George:
It's beautiful.

(King George throws his own ducky aside.)

King George:
I want it.

Louis:
What? The house?

King George:
No, the ducky.

Louis:
Oh, but you already have a ducky.

King George:
What are you saying? That I shouldn't have what I want?

Louis:
Well...

King George:
I must have it! I must get it! You must go and get it for me! If you want me to be happy, then you'll show me you adore me! Don't rest another minute 'till it's sitting here before me! If you wanna do your best, I would suggest you go and bring me back that duck!

Louis:
But, sir, if I may jog your memory, you already have quite a few duckies.

(Louis opens a cabinet to reveal several duckies.)

King George:
Those are yesterday's duckies.

Louis:
Huh? But, these are all perfectly good duckies. Why, most of your loyal subjects would love to have one ducky as nice as this.

King George:
I don't like these! I don't need these! I don't want these any longer! My affection for these duckies isn't getting any stronger! To say I can't have what I want, you couldn't be more wronger! Don't ask me to explain there will be pain if you don't go and get that duck! (not singing) Our conversation is over.

Louis:
Did you say 'wronger'?

King George:
What? I don't know. Perhaps.

Louis:
It's 'more wrong', not 'more wronger'.

King George:
Eeugh... it had to rhyme! Don't question the king's grammar! Now go and get that duck!

Louis:
But, King George, we can't just barge in and take Thomas's duck!

King George:
Why not?!

Louis:
Well, he'll tell people, and then everyone will think that you'll come and take their stuff! You can't run a kingdom that way.

King George:
Oh, alright. Well, then, we'll have to do something about Thomas.

Louis:
What?

(The door knocks)

King George:
Come in!

(Cedric comes in through the door.)

King George:
Ah, Cedric! My favorite general! How goes the war?

Cedric:
As Louis has told you, the Pie War has grown ferocious!

(Scene cuts back to at the Pie War.)

Pea Soldier:
Aaah!

(Pea Soldier gets hit in the face with a pie.)

Cedric:
We need more men at the front.

King George:
Louis didn't tell me that.

Louis:
I was trying to! But he wouldn't come out of the-

King George:
Hmmmm, more men, eh?

Cedric:
Yes, we need more men.

King George:
You know, I believe Thomas would like to help out.

Cedric:
Thomas? He's rather small.

King George:
He's surprisingly strong for his size.

Cedric:
As you wish, sire.

Louis:
Your highness!

King George:
And one more thing, Cedric. Put Thomas at the front of the battle, then have everyone else step back!

Cedric:
(gasps) But, he'll be... creamed!

King George:
Your king has spoken!

Cedric:
As you wish.

(Cedric leaves.)

King George:
Louis, meet me at dusk at the town square. We have a little job to do.

Bob:
(Narrating) It was terrible. Louis didn't want Thomas to get hurt, and he didn't want to take his Ducky, and he certainly didn't want King George to send him to the Pie War too. So, he did as the king asked.

(Louis leaves as the screen goes dark.)

(Silly Songs with Larry: Endangered Love)

(Scene switches to the exterior of the castle at night. Louis is standing outside, before King George comes out while wearing Groucho Glasses to hide his identity and carrying a net.)

King George:
All right, follow me. And try to act inconspicuous!

(King George and Louis go into town and enter Thomas's house. King George uses the net to swipe Thomas's Ducky, before he and Louis leave. Scene switches to back in King George's castle, as the bed lifts up, revealing a secret passage.)
