VeggieTales: The Toy That Saved Christmas Page #2

Season #1 Episode #6

---

(Louie pushes his box back until he falls off his shelf. A penguin flashes the flashlight over to investigate. Louie resumes his position as the light flashes over to him. The guard leaves and Louie breaks out of his box, heading for the door.)

George:
Now he'd never been out of the factory before. Why he'd never even been out of his box before! But he was a smart toy. How hard could it be?

(Louie trips and falls, rolling in the snow, forming a giant snowball tumbling down the hill and crashes into the snow.)

George:
Maybe a little harder than he thought... "The Toy That Saved Christmas" will continue after this short break.

(Silly Song:
Oh Santa)

George:
And now, back to "The Toy That Saved Christmas".

Junior:
Yahoo! This is great!

Larry:
Yeah! Whee!!!

Bob:
Um, aren't we going a little fast?

Larry:
Look out for that tree!

Bob:
Tree? What tree?

Junior:
No problem! Hang on, guys!

Bob:
Why? Why do I need to hang on?

(The trio ride their sled towards the screen as snow hits the camera.)

Junior:
That was fun!

Larry:
I want to do it again!

Bob:
You know, I really can't see anything from back here. Um, do you guys know where we're going?

Larry:
No idea! Never been here before!

Junior:
No one knows what lies around the next... (As they're sliding down the hill, they're heading towards the blockage of the puggslyville bridge) Bail out! (Junior and Larry jump out of the sled)

Bob:
What? Hey, where's everybody... (Bob gasps as he runs smack into the blockage, Bob hits the snow.)

Larry:
Bob! Bob! Are you okay?

Bob:
Mouse trap.

Larry:
Huh?

Bob:
I wanted to play mouse trap. You roll your dice, you move your mice. Nobody gets hurt.

Larry:
Hey! This must be the trail to the puggslyville bridge!

Bob:
The what?

Larry:
That bridge that collapsed. You know, we heard about it on TV. Boy, we're sure lucky we didn't go down there.

Junior:
Guys, look what I found!

Bob:
That's a buzzsaw louie!

Larry:
Cool! Push his nose! Push his nose!

Junior:
Okay.

Louie:
You need more toys!

Larry:
Now that's the true meaning of christmas!

Louie:
No it isn't!

Junior:
Who said that?

Louie:
I did. That's not what christmas is about.

Bob:
It's not?

Louie:
No! Christmas isn't about whining and begging for more toys.

Larry:
Well, then what is it about?

Louie:
I don't know. But I'm gonna find out. I'm on an adventure!

All:
Oooh!

Louie:
Or at least I was, until I got stuck in that snow drift.

Junior:
Well, maybe we can help you.

Bob:
Hey, I know someone who's really, really smart. Maybe they can tell us what christmas means!

George:
Well, they all thought it was a great idea, so they headed off together to see their smart person.

Annie:
Who was it?

George:
Well, um, it was... Uh... Me!

Annie:
(confused) You, Grandpa George?

George:
Don't act so surprised.

(Cuts to Bob, Junior, Larry and Louie heading to George.)

George:
Yep, three boys and a funny little toy showed up at my front door, wondering if I knew the true meaning of christmas.

Annie:
Well, did you?

George:
Course! But I didn't wanna just give it to them, so I read them a story from a very old book.

(The veggies and Louie sit back as George scrolls through the bible.)

George:
Ah, here it is. "That night, in the fields near bethlehem, some shepherds were guarding their sheep. All at once, an angel came down to them from the lord, and the brightness of the lord's glory flashed all around them. The shepherds were frightened. But the angel said, don't be afraid. I have good news for you which will make everyone happy. This very day in King David's hometown, a savior was born for you. He is Christ the lord. You will know who he is because you'll find him dressed in baby clothes and lying on a bed of hay. Suddenly, many other angels came down from heaven and joined in praising god. They said, glory to god in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will toward men."

(Bob, Larry, Junior and Louie all looked at each other with confusion.)

George:
Don't you see? That baby was Jesus! That night was the first christmas! You see, God loved people so much that he gave his only son, so that everyone can be with him someday.

(The veggies and Louie nod in understanding.)

George:
Christmas isn't about getting. It's about giving! And it's especially about a little baby named Jesus, who was the greatest gift of all.

(As the scene ends, we turn back to Annie.)

Annie:
You are smart, Grandpa George! Is that the end of the story?

George:
Oh, no. Now they knew what christmas was about, but everybody else were still in the dark.

(Cuts back to the center of Dinkletown, where the kids are still whining.)

Percy:
Waaaaah!! Buzzsaw louie!!!

Li'l:
Waaaaahh!!! Buzzsaw louie!!

Laura and Lenny:
Aaaahhh!!! Buzzsaw louie!!! (Both run into each other and fall to the ground) Aaaaaaaahh!!!

Junior:
Oh, boy, it's gotten worse! We gotta tell dinkletown what we know about christmas!

Bob:
Yeah!

Louie:
But that TV commercial didn't just go to dinkletown. It went everywhere! We gotta tell everybody!

Bob:
But christmas is tomorrow. How can we possibly go everywhere?

Larry:
You can just forget about puggslyville. The bridge is out.

Louie:
This is hopeless. Christmas is ruined!

Junior:
No, there must be a way. Keep thinking!

(Bob, Louie and Larry pause to think very deeply, until Junior hatches an idea.)

Junior:
I got it!

Bob, Larry and Louie: Huh?

Junior:
We gotta get into that toy factory! Follow me, everyone! We can save christmas!

(Cuts to the veggies and Louie in front of the factory)

Bob:
I still don't understand why we're here.

Louie:
Yeah. I just got out of this place. I don't wanna go back in!

Junior:
Shh!! You'll just have to trust me. It's the only way...

(Junior, Louie, Bob and Larry sneak their way into the factory, through the toy room, pass the penguin scrubbing the dishes who turns just as they all pass him, not spotting them in sight.)

Junior:
It's gotta be around here somewhere!

Junior:
That's it!

(The Veggies and Louie open up as the lits dim in the dark room.)

Bob:
Why, this is a...

Louie:
It's a...

(Cuts to George and Annie.)

Annie:
(confused) TV studio?

George:
That's right! It was Mr. Nezzer's tellyvision studio!

(Cuts back to the story, Larry controlling the camera as Junior stands in front of it.)

George:
Now Junior figured that since it was a TV commercial that got them into this mess, maybe another TV commercial could get them out of it! Well, here's hoping...

(Louie flips the switch, turning on the broadcasting service as Junior begins his announcement.)

Junior:
Attention everyone! This is Junior Asparagus from dinkletown with an important message! We were wrong about christmas! Christmas isn't about being selfish and begging for more toys. Well, not that toys are bad, I have a few myself that I enjoy very much. But you see, there's much more to christmas! Louie?

Louie:
Thank you, Junior.

Li'l:
Hey, it's buzzsaw louie!

Louie:
Listen, everybody. When it comes to christmas...
