VeggieTales: Rack, Shack, & Benny

(VeggieTales Theme Song)

Bob:
Hi kids, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato... I-I'm Bob the Tomato... Larry!!

Larry:
Just a minute! (Crashing is heard)

Bob:
Are you okay?

Larry:
I'll be right there! Whoa! Excuse me.

(Larry arrives, wearing a mitt on his head)

Bob:
Uh, Larry?

Larry:
(facing the opposite way) Yeah, Bob?

Bob:
Over here.

Larry:
Oh. (turns to Bob Yeah?

Bob:
Umm.. Have you been cooking?

Larry:
What... Ohhh! You noticed my new hat.

Bob:
Your hat?

Larry:
Yeah. Isn't it the coolest?

Bob:
Um, Larry, you've got an oven mitt on your head.

Larry:
Oh yes, they're all the rage, simply everyone's wearing them.

Bob:
Really?

Larry:
Well, all the cool people, anyway.

Bob:
Yeah, but you can't see where you're going. Isn't that a little dangerous?

Larry:
Fashion has its price.

Bob:
Larry, you almost fell into the toaster back there!

Larry:
Oh, Bob, Bob, Bob! Don't you read VeggieBeat magazine? This is the look! Without this oven mitt on my head, I just wouldn't be cool!

Bob:
I see... Hey, that reminds me of a letter we just got from Dexter Wilmington of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Larry:
Oh, you don't say!

Bob:
I do! Now Dexter says that sometimes when he's at his friend Billy's house, Billy wants to watch this TV show that Dexter's not supposed to watch. Now Dexter knows that it's a bad show, but Billy says that if he doesn't watch it, it means he's not cool! What should he do?

Larry:
Oh, what a pickle! (facing the opposite way) You know, Bob...

Bob:
Over here, Larry.

Larry:
(back to Bob) You know, Bob, I think we need Qwerty for this one. I'll be right back.

Bob:
Um, Larry, watch out for the... (Larry drops into the sink) ...sink.

Larry:
Ouch!

Bob:
Are you okay?

Larry:
They didn't mention this in VeggieBeat magazine...

Bob:
Heh. You know, Dexter. While I try to get Larry out of the sink, I want you to listen to a story about three boys named Rack, Shack, and Benny who in a pickle just like yours.

(the story dissolves into place)

George:
That's right, those weren't their real names. Their real names were uh, let me see if I can get this right. Uh, Shadrach, Meschach, and uh, Abendigo. Of course no one would remember those, so we took to calling them Rack, Shack and Benny. Anyways, they came with a bunch of other boys and girls as Mr. Nezzer sent them to work at his chocolate factory. Oh, and Mr. Nezzer? We'll get back to that later. Who am I? Why, I'm George! Anything that goes in and out of Nezzer's chocolate's gotta come by me! Well, speaking of which, it's almost 8 o' clock! The time for the morning milk delivery!

(Laura flys by)

George:
Here comes Laura, now! Oh, she's my favorite!

Laura:
Good morning, George, how are you?

I hope you're feeling fine.

I'd like to stay and talk,

But it's almost 8 o' clock,

And I haven't got the time!

George:
See you later!

Laura:
Because we work real hard at the chocolate factory!

We start at 8, and we don't get lunch till 3!

I've got to drive a truck,

To make a buck,

So I can send it home to my family!

Mr. Lunt:
Well now, you are in trouble!

Your time card is a wreck!

It's almost 2 past 8;

I'll tell Nezzer that you're late,

And he'll take it from your check!

Laura:
Yes, Mr. Lunt.

(Mr. Lunt enters the factory)

Mr. Lunt:
Oh yes, we work real hard at the chocolate factory!

Pea:
Exuse me, Mr. Lunt, but I've got an injury.

Mr. Lunt:
Now get back on the line!

You'll be just fine!

With all this work to do we've got no time for sympathy!

Benny:
We used to be so happy.

Rack:
We used to laugh and run.

Shack:
Now there's no time to play,

'Cause we've gotta work all day,

And it isn't very fun!

Rack:
I'm Rack!

Shack:
I'm Shack!

Benny:
I'm Benny!

Together:
We work here in the plant!

We'd like to take a break

For goodness sake,

But Mr. Nezzer says-

Mr. Lunt:
You can't! Ha!

Rack, Shack, Benny and all co-workers: We all need a vacation!

Our schedule is severe!

We're getting very tired,

But stopping gets us fired,

So we'll have to stay right here!

Because we work real hard at the chocolate factory,

we start at 8 and we don't get lunch til 3. We work the whole week through to make a buck or two, so we can send them home to our families.

Someday they'll come and join us,

we live in harmony,

we hope the day is near, until then you'll find us here at the Nezzer Chocolate Factory!

George:
The Nezzer chocolate bunny. Everyday at 814,638 little fellows. Give or take to you. Oh yeah, Mr. Nezzer. Nebby K. Nezzer. I bet you call it Mr. Nezzer. Now Mr. Nezzer's not a bad man, he just gets confused sometimes. Why, his chocolate bunnies are selling so well, I think he's got a little big for his britches. And that saying something, so his britches will break out to start out with. What's all they have to do with Rack, Shack & Benny? Well, their trouble starts when Mr. Nezzer makes a little announcement.

(Bell rings)

Mr. Nezzer:
Attention, little people. I have announcement. This morning, Mr. Nezzer shifts its two millionth chocolate bunny! To celebrate this momentous occasion, for the next 32 minutes, everyone can eat as many bunnies you want. Bon appetite!

Mr. Lunt:
Hey, boss. That's awfully nice so you've given away all those bunnies.

Mr. Nezzer:
Oh if I could just see to look for their faces right now.

(Chewing sounds!)

(Music playing!)

Shack:
Hey guys, I don't think we should eat any more bunnies.

Rack:
Um, what do you mean? Mr. Nezzer says that we could eat as bunnies as you want"

Shack:
Why don't you remember what your parents taught us? We shouldn't eat too much candy because it's not very good for us.

Rack:
Shack, our parents aren't here now. We're on our own. Besides, everybody else is doing it.

Shack:
Rack, Benny, listen to me. I know our parents aren't here right now. But when I think of a song, my mom used to think of me a long time ago.

Mrs. Asparagus:
Think of me everyday. Hold tight to what I say, and I'll be close to you even from far away. Know that wherever you are, it is never too far. If you think of me, I'll be with you.

Shack:
Know that wherever you are, it is never too far. If you think of me, I'll be with you. You see, even though our parents aren't here right now to help us to what's right. If we remember what they taught us, it's kinda like they're here.

Rack:
(sniffles) Okay, no more bunnies. I'm doing it for my mom.

Benny:
(spits), me too.

(Chewing sounds)

(Music playing)

(Clock ringing)

Mr. Nezzer:
Well, that about does it. What do you say we pop in and let them show their appreciation?

Mr. Lunt:
Oh yeah. They're really gonna appreciate you, boss.

Mr. Nezzer:
Hello. Hmm. I don't feel very appreciated.

Mr. Lunt:
Hey, look. They're lying on the floor. Like they're sick or something.

Mr. Nezzer:
Hmm? You mean I let them eat my bunnies, and in return they all wanna play hooky?!

Mr. Lunt:
Wait, boss. Those three guys over there. They don't look sick.

Mr. Nezzer:
Oh? Hmm.

Rack:
Ahem. Thank you Mr. Nezzer for your lovely gift of chocolate.
