---

[Fade in to the close-up of Bob the Tomato]

Bob:
Hi kids! Welcome to VeggieTales! I'm Bob the Tomato.

Larry:
(in his Larry-Boy costume): And I'm Larry-Boy.

Bob:
(goes angry a bit, then talks) Uh, what's going on Larry?

[Larry-Boy uses the right plunger to bring up Archibald Asparagus, in his Alfred costume]

Alfred:
And I'm Alfred, Larry-Boy's faithful butler. And we're here to answer your questions.

Bob:
H-eeee-ey wait a minute, that's my line.

Larry:
Don't worry frail helpless tomato, we've got everything under control.

Bob:
Frail? Help? Larry what are you up to? Do you even have a letter?

Alfred:
Today we have a text message from Libby-

Bob:
A text message?

Larry:
It's the latest thing, cool huh?

Bob:
Guys thats enough can we just stick with the script?

Larry:
Please sir, stand aside, we don't want innocent bystanders getting hurt.

Alfred:
Our text message comes from Libby from Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

Larry:
And Libby writes "Dear Larry-Boy, i just love watching you help people escape fibs and rumors," Don't mention it Libby, all part of being a superhero. "But i've got something in my house that i just can't get escape, and now i need your help, i really love playing video games, sometimes all i can think about is playing, even when i'm supposed to be doing my homework, or cleaning up my room, i'll look over to that controller, and i can't help picking it up and playing. What should i do?" Well Libby, first of all, i'm really impressed that were to type out that really long message using those tiny little buttons.

Alfred:
And secondly it sounds like your having a problem with temptation.

Larry:
Temptation? What's that?

Alfred:
Well, simply put, temptation is the desire to have or do something that you know you should avoid or the act of influencing by exciting hope.

Bob:
It means when you want to do something that you probably shouldn't do.

Larry:
Thank you innocent bystander.

Alfred:
And it just so happens that we have prepared a story of adventure and mayhem that addresses this self same dilemma.

Bob:
That means we have an exciting show that just might help you. Roll film.

Larry:
Well Libby, i hope you liked the show and i hope you learned something from it. I know i did.

Bob:
Well?

Larry:
What are you doing?

Bob:
I'm a superhero too.

Larry:
Bob, it takes more than a costume too-

Bob:
Not Bob, i'm the red wonder. Or Bobbin, but i'm leaning toward red wonder. I have a theme song.

Larry:
Wow. Catchy.

Bob:
Wait, that's not it. lemme-

Bob:
No, no, no. I had it all worked out.

Alfred:
Uh shall we see if Qwerty has a verse for us today?

Larry:
Yeah fast.

Larry:
Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit willing enough, the body is weak. Matthew 26:41. So you see Libby, you need to ask God with the things that keep you from being the kid he wants you to be.

Alfred:
Larry-Boy had a weakness for chocolate.

Larry:
That's why i need the help of the good friends that god gave me to keep chocolate from getting the best of me.

Alfred:
I fear video games might have a similar on our friend Libby.

Larry:
Yep, there's nothing wrong with playing video games once in a while. But when they keep you from doing your homework, or from helping your mom and dad around the house, they're keeping you from being the kid that God wants you to be.

Alfred:
You might want to ask your parents for some help on ideas on how to avoid the temptation of that ever present video controller or chocolate or whatever.

Larry:
Great idea Alfred.

Alfred:
Well the extent of our schedule period as once again drawn to a close.

Bob:
That means thats all the time we have for today kids.

Larry:
thanks red wonder.

Alfred:
Just remember...

Bob:
God made you special...

Larry:
And he loves you very much.

All:
Goodbye!

Larry:
Hey red wonder, lemme show you how to a theme song.
