VeggieTales: Where's God When I'm S-Scared? Page #3

Season #1 Episode #1

---

camera turns to Mabel and Penelope with Mabel having a worried look on their face.

Narrator:
You see each one of them wanted to be second in command.

Scallion 1 gives the girls an angry look and they get scared and walk away like nothing happened.

Narrator:
But now that Daniel got the job, the wisemen would have to do whatever he said. This made the wisemen very unhappy, and they immediately started thinking if ways to get rid of Daniel.

The music for the next song kicks in and the scallions begin to dance and sing.

All:
Oh no! What we gonna do? The king likes Daniel more than me and you. Oh no! What we gonna do? We gotta get him out of here. Oh no! What we gonna do? The king likes Daniel more than me and you. Oh no! What we gonna do? We gotta get him out of here.

Scallion 2 and 3: (singing the next verse while Scallion 1 still sings the first one) We could throw him, in the dungeon. We could let him, rot in jail. We could drag him, to the ocean. Have him eaten, by a whale.

Scallion 1:
We could throw him in the Tigris let him float a while, then we'll sit back and watch him meet a hungry crocodile. Then we'll send him on a camel's back and send him of to Ur, with a cowboy hat without a brim, a boot without a spur. Or we can give him jelly doughnuts and take them all away, or we can fill his ears with cheese balls and his nostrils with sorbet. We can use him as a footstool or a table to play Scrabble on, then tie him up and beat him up and throw him out of Babylon.

Scallion 2:
(not singing) Or!

camera cuts to an ariel view of one Scallion 2 whispering his plan and the others listening.

camera cuts to the scallions showing off their opinions of Scallion 2's idea.

Scallion 1:
I like it.

Scallion 3:
It's sneaky.

All Scallions:
And it just might work!

All Scallions:
(back to singing) We could use him as a footstool or a table to play Scrabble on then tie him up and beat him up and throw him out of Babylon.

the music goes on with the scallions leaving Darius' court and the music ends with the doors slamming shut.

camera fades into an outside view of Darius's court with the narrator talking into the inside if the court.

Narrator:
The very next morning, the wisemen appear before king Darius to try and trap Daniel with their scheme.

Darius:
You wanted to see me?

Scallion 1:
Ahem

music plays

Scallion 1:
We got some news good king Darius, we fear your position is precarious. There are some people here in Babylon who won't give you your due, they'd rather bow to other men.

Darius:
Can this be so?

Scallion 2:
Tis true

Darius:
(looking worried) Oh dear.

Scallion:
We brought a solution of our own design. (pulls out a contract) If you'll just sign this paper on the dotted line. It's explaining most concisely what we're all to do. Must bow our heads and bend our knees before no one, but you!

Darius:
I see. Ahem, just one more time now let's see if I got this straight. A law to prove once and for all that I am great. If I'm the king then no one must doubt my full supremacy. So from this day forth my citizens will pray to only...me! Yes, but what if they don't.

Scallion 1 says what's going to happen and the set will go red with a bolt of lightning and a thunderclap.

Scallion 1:
If they don't obey...any citizen...will be thrown into the lion's den!

Darius:
(not singing) Oh yes? Well I guess that'll do it.

scallions run off to find Daniel praying to God with Darius about to walk off.

Anonymous female singing voice: So the law was passed, the deed was done. Daniel's troubles have just begun.

camera shows Babylon through a window and pulls into Daniel's house who we see praying to God.

Narrator:
Everyone in Babylon heard about the new law, including Daniel. But Daniel also new God's law, and God's told him that he should only pray to God. So the next day, just like any day, Daniel prayed and thanked God for the sunshine and for all his friends. He also thanked God for giving him the courage to do what was right, even when he knew it could get him in trouble.

Daniel:
(opens one eye after the narrator talks) Did you say trouble?

Scallions burst door open with the door slamming back knocking out Scallion 3. AHAH Heavy Head Bonk And Fall With Bell And Drum AHAH They walk towards Daniel with Daniel freaked out.

The next scene cuts to the desert where the scallions carrying him to the lion's den while Daniel is asking questions to them.

Daniel:
So you guys are wisemen. Well, that's pretty cool have you always been wise, or did you have to go to school for that? Were you serious about that cheese ball thing? Hey I can see my house from here.

lion's roar

Scallion 1:
Daniel, because you violated section 4219-2r9-4000-6.1-7...b, of the code of Babylon, forbidding prayer to anyone but King Darius, you are hereby sentenced to be consumed by the lions. Goodbye.

Daniel gets thrown in and screams.

Daniel:
Hey don't I get a phone caaaaalllllll?!

Daniel lands face first and looks up at the surface while the Scallions mock him. Cuckoo Clock With Ticks And Small Gong With Cuckoo Bird

Scallion 2:
Hey Daniel! You're sure going to have a lot of fun down there! We're not "ly-ing".

Scallion 2 and 3 laugh.

Scallion 3:
Uh yeah! You better be "ly-ing" down... Um... 'cuz those lions are gonna...um..."lie"..."on" you! Ha ha!

Scallion 2:
What? Mine was funny. Yours was...goofy.

Daniel still looks at the surface while Scalliion 2 and 3 are still arguing.

Scallion 2:
Lion's are going to ly-on you?! They're going eat him! They’re not going to ly-on him.

Scallion 3:
Well, well maybe there goning to lie on them then eat them. Or maybe one will lie on him while another on, maybe eats him. Or maybe...

(the two scallions argue about what will happen as they push a giant rock over the hole to the lion's den making the den completely dark)

(water drops)

Daniel:
Oh, it's not so scary down here! A little musty, not so scary!

(hears lions roaring, backs up and more lions appear.)

Daniel:
(In the tune of 'Oh no! What we gonna do?') Oh no! What am I gonna do? It looks like I'm gonna end up as lion stew.
