Heaven Wants Me to Accept Them?!?/Transcript

(The scene opens to Lazlo and Clarence on the ground.)

Lazlo: Hey, kids! Welcome to HappyTales! I'm Lazlo.

Clarence: And I'm Clarence!

Lazlo: And we're here to answer your questions.

Clarence: Yep.

Lazlo: Now, Larry.

Clarence: Yeah, Bob?

Lazlo: The other day, I was walking home from my bowling league, when I bumped into Marco, one of our TV friends.

Clarence: Oh. That... That's great!

Lazlo: Mmm-hmm. Now Marco has a question for us... He said that when his baby sister does something that makes him mad & then she said she's sorry, Marco's mom says he need to accept her apology. Why does he have to accept apologies?

Clarence: Oh, that's a good question. Hmmm....w-I know! I'll tell Marco the story of "The Hedgehogs of Wrath"!

Lazlo: Oh, that's a classic! This will be good!

Clarence: Once upon a time, there were some very cranky hedgehogs.

Lazlo: Um, are you sure that's how "The Hedgehogs of Wrath" goes?

Clarence: Oh, yeah.

Lazlo: Oh, okay.

Clarence: Uh, Bob?

Lazlo: W-yeah, Larry?

Clarence: Try not to interrupt.

Lazlo: Oh, sorry.

Clarence: Once upon a time, there were some very cranky hedgehogs.

(The scene switches to a forest scene. Sunny the sun looks down to see four hedgehogs driving through the forest in their jalopy.)

All: We are the Hedgehogs of Wrath! We'll never take a bath. It is our style to seldom smile and never laugh.

Sonic: We are the...

Hedgehogs: Hedgehogs of wrath! So stay out of our path! There's no escape from cranky hedgehogs. We are the hedgehogs of wrath!

Amy Rose: I'm Amy.

Sonic: I'm Sonic.

Amy Rose: This is our brood.

Sonic: We're grumpy and we know it!

Amy Rose: That's Tails and Cream.

Sonic: They're both rude!

Sonic & Amy: & not afraid to show it!

Tails & Cream: We're not the folks you'd like to meet, we bicker by hour.

Tails: While other hedgehogs are nice & cute...

Cream: We're really rather sour!

Hedgehogs: As we go driving by...

Tails: I might spit in your eye!

(Tails does so to a tree.)

Cream: Or throw a snake in your milkshake to make you cry!

(Cream does just that)

Sonic: Cuz we're the

Hedgheogs: Hedgehogs of wrath, so stay out of our path! There's no escape from cranky hedgehogs. We are the hedgehogs of wrath! There's no escape from cranky hedgehogs. We are the grapes of hedgehogs.

(a tree who was about to be run over comes to life and jumps into a nearby pond)

(the music ends)

Clarence: One day, the hedgehogs were out riding around in their car. When suddenly, they hit a bump.

(Sonic hits a tree stump and Cream and Tails fly out of the car)

Sonic: We must've hit a bump.

(camera shows the tree stump that the car hit)

Tails: Hey! What'd you do that for?

Cream: I didn't do. You did it, you big possum head.

Tails: I did not, you taco salad rabbit nose.

Cream: You did, you casserole head pimento loaf iguana boy!

(everyone goes into silence)

Tails: Sonic!

(Sonic steps out of the car)

Sonic: Now Cream, apologize to your brother.

Cream: Huh? What for?

Sonic: Well, you know he just turned eighteen years old.

Cream: Yeah, so?

Sonic: So, that would make him a casserole head, pimento loaf iguana man!

Cream: Ah, yeah, sorry about that, cabbage-nose Elvis puppy.

Tails: Yeah, & don't you forget it!

(camera turns to Numbuh 3)

Cream: Uhhh, Sonic! There's somebody over there!

Sonic: Eh? Ooh. Oh, you're right! Uh. What kind of fellow do you suppose that is, Amy?

Amy Rose: Oh, let's see. Hm, It's no hedgehog, that's for sure.

(everyone agrees)

Sonic: It must be some kind of a korean girl or something.

(everyone agrees again)

Tails: Well, what's that thing he's got on her head?

Cream: Well, it's black. Um, rock is black. Mm-hm.

Sonic: So that would make her, a Rock-Headedd Korean Girl!

Everyone else: Ooh!

Numbuh 3: [clears throat] I'm not a korean girl, I'm a japanese girl.

Sonic: What did the korean girl just say?

Cream: She said he was a japanese girl.

Sonic: Huh?

Numbuh 3: I'm a japanese girl! A girl of the Japanese genus. And now I speak, American.

Everyone else: Ooh!

Numbuh 3: And this is not a rock on my head! It is my bangs. My Black Bangs.

(everyone else starts laughing)

Sonic: Look at that crazy hair!

Tails: It looks like rock! Hey, korean girl! You've been gluing a rock to your noggin?

(Numbuh 3 starts to cry)

Lazlo: That's just terrible. Don't those hedgehogs know it's not nice to make fun of people?

Clarence: Lazlo, that wass just it. They didn't know how bad it made Numbuh 3 felt.

Lazlo: Well, jeepers, Clarence. That's, not good. What happened next?

Clarence: Luckily, Numbuh 1 heard them laughing, & came outside to see what all the commotion was about.

(Numbuh 3 cries as Numbuh 1 comes out of the house.)

Numbuh 1: Hey, what's all the commotion out here? Ooh, hedgehogs!

Numbuh 3: They were calling me a korean girl & telling me I had a rock on my head!

Numbuh 1: Is she telling the truth?

Sonic: Oh no, we would not do such a thing as what you have said we would have done, except, for maybe we did that I guess, now that you...oh...well, okay, we did that. Yep, that's what we did.

Clarence: (narrating) So, Numbuh 1 explained to the hedgehogs that when we make fun of people & call them names, that makes them feel very bad inside. He also told them that the lord wants us to be kind to everybody, & that when we act mean, it makes God feel sad too.

Sonic: Well, gee I guess we never really stopped to think about it, well, how it was making you feel and everything.

Cream: Yeah, we was just having some fun, didn't mean nothing by it.

Tails: Yeah, we're sorry.

(everyone else apologizes.)

Sonic: We'll never be mean again!

Numbuh 1: That's better, much better. Numbuh 3, is there anything you'd like to say to the hedgehogs?

Numbuh 3: Um. Like what?

Clarence: Numbuh 1 explained to him that when someone says they're sorry for hurting you, & they really mean it, we need to accept their apologies. That way, we all feel better.

Numbuh 3: Oh, I get it! Okay, I accept your apologies, hedgehogs.

(everyone else sighs in relief)

Numbuh 1: All right, now does everyone feel better?

(everyone else says yes)

Numbuh 1: It's almost time for supper. Come on inside, Numbuh 3.

Cream: Numbuh 3?

Tails: Her name is Numbuh 3?

(Tom and Rosie laugh, which makes Numbuh 3 shake angrily)

Tails: That's a funny name!

Numbuh 3 (angry): OKAY THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!!

(Numbuh 3 walks toward the hedgheogs, but she accidentally steps on a hoe, making him fall down on a toy dump truck. The dump truck moves down the hill to the sandbox, launching Numbuh 3 into the air, as the hedgehogs watch her land in the sandbox. Numbuh 3 gets up covered entirely with sand & she coughs before lying down in the sand. Tails and Cream start laughing again.)

Numbuh 1: Hey, I thought you said you weren't gonna tease anymore.

Sonic: Well that's exactly what we said, and we hedgehogs always try to keep our promises. Isn't that right?

Tails & Cream: Sure, yes, that's right. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Sure.

Amy Rose: Now what you kids have to say to Numbuh 3?

Tails & Cream: Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry

(Numbuh 3 shakes the sand off.)

Lazlo: Boy, I sure am glad they got that straightened out.

Clarence: Yep, the hedgehogs were really sorry this time, so once again, Numbuh 3 accepted it.

Numbuh 3: What?!

Clarence: I said, "once again, Numbuh 3 accepted it."

Numbuh 3: Are you serious?

Clarence: Well, I think so, Lazlo am I serious?

Lazlo: Oh yeah Clarence, oh yeah. You- you're serious. Mm-hmm.

Clarence: You see.

Numbuh 3: I'm supposed to accept their apologies. After they just did to me?

Clarence: Well, uh yeah.

Numbuh 3: Sure, I accept their apologies for calling me "Korean Girl" & saying I had chocolate on my head. But now they are making fun of my name and they laughed when the hoe almost smacked my face clean off, & then the truck picked me up & threw me in the sand. And you're telling me I'm supposed to accept ehir apologies again?

Clarence: Um well, are you guys really sorry?

Tails & Cream: Oh we're sorry, and we'll never do it again!

Clarence: You see, Numbuh 3? When we do bad things, it hurts God's feelings, too. The lord wants us to tell Him that we apologize. The Bible says, when we told God that we're sorry, He will always accept our apologies.

Numbuh 3: No matter what?

Clarence: No matter what!

Numbuh 3: Wow!

Lazlo: That's right. And because The lord always accept ours, we need to accept others when they hurt our feelings, too.

Numbuh 3: Well, how many times am I supposed to accept it?!

Clarence: Um, well um Lazlo?

Lazlo: Gee, you know, I'm not sure. Let's ask QWERTY.

(QWERTY plays a game that looks like Pong before Lazlo and Clarence tells him about multiplying in the Bible)

Lazlo: Hey QWERTY, can you help us? We need to know how many times we're supposed to accept people's apologies, according to the Bible. Maybe um, seven times?

(A light-bulb appears on QWERTY's screen before the verse Matthew 18:22)

Lazlo: Matthew 18:22 Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy times seven."

Clarence: Oh! Seventy times seven.

Lazlo: Seventy times seven. I see.

Clarence: Um, do you know what seventy times seven is?

Lazlo: Um nope, how about you?

Clarence: Nope.

Lazlo: Well, does anybody know what seventy times seven is?

(Camera cuts back to the grapes and Junior.)

Amy Rose: 9?

Sonic: Let's see, I remembered, when, oh, I was in college. Oh it was uh. higher, more who?

Tails: Or it is two? Or maybe seven?

Cream: 490!

Both: Ooh!

Numbuh 1: That's one smart and cute hedgehog.

Clarence: Well, there you have it, 490 times!

Numbuh 3: Wow! So I guess we need to accept each other's apologies. Even we make the same states more than once.

Numbuh 1: That's right, Numbuh 3. Now do you have something to say to the hedgehogs?

Numbuh 3: Yeah, I accept your apologies guys again.

Both: Thanks, yeah. Thanks, thanks a lot, Junior.

Sonic: You know, now that we're going to be nice and all, I don't think we should be called of the hedgehogs of wrath anymore.

Both: Yeah, Mm-hmm, you're right. Mm-hmm.

Tails: Well, what should we be called then, The Hedgehogs of Nice?

Sonic: Nah, that's not it.

Numbuh 1: That little girl of yours is quite ahead for numbers. Maybe you could be, The Grapes of Math!

(The hedgehogs cheer for their new name. Afterward, as Numbuh 3 and his dad go into their house, the Hedgehogs get back in their car and go home themselves.)

Clarence: Well, everyone was very excited about their new name. But it was time for Numbuh 3 to go inside & eat supper. So with the sun setting in the west, & Rosie happily quoting a quadratic equation in the backseat, the Hedgehogs of Wrath, I mean Math, drove off to share their niceness with the rest of the world. The end.

Lazlo: Wow! That was great, Clarence. But um, are you sure that's how this story goes?

Clarence: Oh yeah.

(Clarence winks. Camera fades to black background for a bonus short of The Accept o Matic.)

Hammer Bro: Hey, kids, have you ever been bad? (A picture of a broken vase drops from the ceiling) Do you remember when you broke your mom’s favorite vase and then stapled it back together and hope she wouldn’t notice? That was bad! (A trumpet blare plays and the picture is yanked up and replaced with a picture of a lady screaming at the sight of a snake in bed) Do you remember when you put your pet snake in Aunt Millie’s pajamas and she ran 5 miles without ever getting out of bed? That was bad too! (A trumpet blare plays and the picture is yanked up and replaced with a picture of a teddy bear being ripped up in a blender) Do you remember when you stuffed your sister’s teddy bear in the food processor and told her it got chewed up by a "giant bear-eating lizard"? And she believed it? That was really bad! (A trumpet blare plays and the picture is yanked up, then we see all 3 pictures lined up vertically.) The Bible calls the bad things we do, “sin”. & when we sin, we need to be forgiven. That’s right! (on TV) So I know what you're thinking. "Jeepers, I've been bad! How do I get forgiven?" Am I right? (onscreen) Well, moms, dads, & kids of all ages, have I got the thing for you! The new WrongCo Accept-o-Matic. (on TV) Yes, sir! The new WrongCo Accept-o-Matic slices dices and purees your sins away. It's as easy as this. (offscreen) Just dial up your sin here, press this button, &... bingo! God forgives you of your sin! (onscreen) But wait! There's more! Order now, and you also receive a set of Gin-Sue steak knives, the strongest knives on earth. Just listen to this.

(Goomba rises on a platform from the floor)

Goomba: Hi. I'm a miner from West Virginia. In the last 3 weeks, we dug 2 miles through solid granite, all with one gin-sue steak knife and it’s still going strong.

(Platform sinks down)

Hammer Bro: That's right. You get the Accept-o-Matic & the steak knives all for one low price of just nineteen-ninety-five [$19.95]. You’ve never seen a deal like this before! Isn’t that right?

(Goomba rises on a platform from the floor again)

Goomba: That's right.

(Platform sinks down again)

Hammer Bro: So don't delay, order today. (Numbuh 3 appears from behind the curtains) Operators are standing by. Remember, you get the Accept-o-Matic and the steak knives all for just nineteen-ninety-five [$19.95].

(Music ends and Hammer Bro smiles)

Numbuh 3: Ahem.

Hammer Bro: (Turns his head to Numbuh 3) Not now, girl. Can't you see I'm "busy"?

Numbuh 3: But, I know lots of people who’ve been forgiven for bad things they’ve done.

Hammer Bro: Oh, yeah? Well, they must have Forgive-o-Matics then. Huh?

Numbuh 3: Nope.

Hammer Bro: Well, sure! You-you can't be forgiven without a Accept-o-Matic. Isn't that right?

(Goomba rises on a platform from the floor one more time)

Goomba: Stop yanking me up and down. I'm getting sick.

(Hops to the right of the screen, then crashes off-screen, causing the set of knifes to dangle, then drop onto the stage. One knife ends up on the rotating stand.)

Numbuh 3: The Bible says, if we ask for God to accept this, then He will.

Hammer Bro: Y-you mean, all you have to is... ask?

Numbuh 3: Yep.

Hammer Bro: You don't need a... an Accept-o-Matic?

Numbuh 3: Nope.

Hammer Bro: Are you sure about this?

Numbuh 3: I sure am!

(After hearing the truth, knowing the product won't sell, Hammer Bro tries to improvise to convince the audience.)

Hammer Bro: Did I mention that they also make great Julienne fries? Well, just drop a potato in here, uh, push the button, and presto! Out come the best fries you've ever tasted!

Numbuh 3: (Faces the camera) Oh look, it's time to go!

Hammer Bro: But wait! There's more! (Runs off stage, then comes back with a tray displaying a shrub version of the FAccept-o-Matic) Just spread these seeds on here, and... and in a few weeks... (Pushes the Accept-o-Matic off the rotating platform) Voila! (The Accept-o-Matic rolls down and hits the floor) Chia Accept-o-Matic. Isn't that... cute?

Numbuh 3: Say "Good night, Gracie".

(Skips off the stage just as the stage lights start to turn off one by one)

Hammer Bro: Good night, Gracie.

(A spotlight shines on him, until the two final lights shut off, leaving his eyes visible in the dark, Hammer Bro, finally giving up, hops away, but yelps as he ends up tripping and falling onto the floor. Back to the countertop with Lazlo and Clarence)

Lazlo: Do you remember when we learned about acceptance?

Clarence: Oh my goodness! How could I forget?

Lazlo: Well, do you think the kids at home would like to hear about it?

Clarence: Oh, most definitely.

(Clarence looks at kids)

Clarence: You would? Would ya?

Lazlo: What they say?

Clarence: Um, I don't know... I think they said yes.

Lazlo: Okay! Great! Well, should I tell them or should you?

Clarence: Oh, go ahead.

Lazlo: Alright, well, it all happened one summer while Larry and I were running a tour boat service.

Clarence: Yeah, you see? We have this boat, & we take the people, then we put them on the boat, & we give up a ride way out on the ocean! You see?

Lazlo: Ahem.

Clarence: Sorry... go ahead.

Lazlo: Thank you. As Larry said... we had a boat, and we would give people rides on the ocean.

(camera starts moving directly to the kitchen light)

Lazlo: But I'm remember that day...

(The next story is a parody of Gilligan's Island, known as Larry's Lagoon*)

Lazlo (voiceover): That fateful trip.

Clarence (voiceover) : Why yes! It started from that tropical port, aboard our tiny ship.

Lazlo (voiceover) : Now Clarence, he was a mighty sailor man.

Clarence (voiceover): And Lazlo, he was great and sure!

Lazlo (voiceover): And uh... Were there five passengers we brought along that day, on our three hour tour?

Clarence (voiceover): Ah yes! Our three hour tour.

(the professor comes in the port)

Lazlo (voiceover): Okay let's see... there's was the professor.

Clarence (voiceover): And we were there.

Lazlo (voiceover): Well yeah. And uuuh, a young adult.

Clarence (voiceover): Um, and his girlfriend.

Lazlo (voiceover): And wasn't there a movie star and uum, that other girl.

Clarence (voiceover): Yeah, but they cancelled.

Lazlo (voiceover): Oh, oh yeah. Well anyway, there we were on our three hour tour, doing our best to entertain the passengers.

Lazlo and Clarence (singing): Some friends went to sea, sea, sea, to see what they could see, see, see, but all that they could see, see, see, was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea!

Clarence: See?

Eddy: Yes, that was just dandy. But isn't a time we left the dock?

Lazlo: Heheheh! Okay, firing up the engine, first mate Clarence!

Clarence: Aye-aye skipper!

(The boat engine starts up and the boat pulls away from the dock.)

Clarence: Lovely day, isn't it?

Lazlo: Oh yes. Why... just smell that salt air.

Clarence: Aaaah. Mighty nice.

Lazlo: I think I'll go back to see how the passengers are doing... can you take over here?

Clarence: No problemo, skipper.

Lazlo: It's a big responsibility. You won't day dream, will ya?

Clarence: Don't worry about the thing, I got it covered.

Lazlo: Okay! Thanks, CLarence.

Clarence (in his head): Oh boy! This is the life! There's nothing I'd rather be than first mate Clarence. Well, nothing that is. Except...(Clarence starts to daydream and picture himself as a Russian icebreaker driver. And in his fantasy, he sports a Russian accent.) Captain Larry Romanov, the famous Russian icebreaker pilot. (The ship plows through the ice.) Today, Captain Clarence must free whales. Two great whales trapped in ice.

(Whales arguing and fighting while stuck in ice)

Clarence: But, there is problem... a large iceberg stands between Captain Clarence and whales. There may not be enough time to go around it, but surely even Captain Larry is not brave enough to smash through the iceberg! No one has ever done such a thing!

(Captain Clarence increase the speed of the ship)

Clarence: Yes! This is no time for cowards! Captain Clarence will smash the iceberg & free the whales!

(A door opens and Russian Lazlo appears)

Clarence: Ah! Commander Boblov has come to congratulate Captain Clarence for his bravery.

(Fades back to Normal Lazlo)

Lazlo: Hey, Clarence. We're making snow cones back there. Do you want peach or strawberry?

Clarence: Um, not now, Lazlo. First I have to smash through this iceberg and free some whales.

Lazlo: There are no icebergs around here.

Clarence: Oh yeah? Well, what do you call that?

(They approach a rock and Lazlo and Clarence scream. Clarence tries to steer the boat to the right, but it's too late. The boat hits the rock and they all fly out and land on the beach.)

Lee: Oh, the brochure didn't say anything about layovers.

Eddy: Well you see, Lee, I believe we had some sort of an accident, Skipper?

Lazlo: Yes, we most certainly had an accident, and I think someone has some explaining to do.

Clarence: Well, um, you see, there were these whales, and they were stuck in the ice, and well, the only way to get 'em out was to smash right through that iceberg over there, except it turned out to be a rock, and rocks are a lot harder than icebergs.

Numbuh 1: It just so happens that the nearest iceberg is 2640 miles away. What were you thinking?!

Lazlo: And now, You smashed our boat! Now what are we gonna do?!

Lee: You have ruined our vacation. What do you have to say for yourself?

Clarence: Um, I'm aplogize. At least the boat is still floating. (The boat sinks into the bottom of the ocean) Oh.

Lee: Alright, I'll need to call my broker. I'm going to look for a phone.

(They all walk away. Fade to later that evening.)

Lazlo (voiceover): That evening, we all worked together to build some huts to sleep in, But we were still pretty mad at Clarence.

(Inside one of the huts, Lazlo and Clarence are laying in their beds)

Clarence: Gee, it's kinda nice out here. Maybe this isn't so bad after all, Huh Lazlo?

Lazlo: Not so bad? What do you mean "Not so bad"?! Our boat is at the bottom of the ocean & we're stuck on this island, in the middle of nowhere, with no way to get home!

Clarence: I said I was sorry. At least you could accept it.

Lazlo: Well it's just that we're-- well, can't you see we're-- I just-- I just can't! Oh!

Clarence: I said I apologize.

Lazlo: Well, that's just not good enough. Goodnight.

(Lazlo goes to sleep with Clarence confused)

Clarence: "Not good enough", Not good enough?! He means-He means I'm not good enough. They all think I'm not good enough. I bet they'll be happier if I just left. So that's what I'll do. (climbs out of bed) I'm just gonna-gonna take my things & just go away, Yeah. I don't have any things, so I'll just go...with just my hat. Goodbye Lazlo, I hope you find a first mate that's good enough.

(Clarence then sadly hops away. The next morning, Lee and Eddy come out of their hut)

Eddy: I wonder where the Skipper is.

Lee: Who?

Eddy: Oh, you know, dear, the bright red, round monkey.

Lee: Oh, yes. Where is he anyway?

Eddy: I don't know. That's what I was wondering.

Lee: Oh, I see.

Lazlo (Offscreen when the camera faces the bottom of the palm tree): Has anyone seen Clarence?

Eddy: Did you say something?

Lee: No, it was that tree over there.

Eddy: Really? Well, what did it say?

Lee: I believe it's looking for Clarence. What's that again?

Eddy: Oh, you remember. He's the chap who smashed the boat.

Lee: Oh, and ruined our vacation.

Eddy: That's the one.

Lee: Oh. Well, I hope that tree gets him, serves him right.

Eddy: Here, here.

Lazlo: Hey, people! (Camera pans up as he is on top of the palm tree) Have you seen Clarence?

Eddy: Oh look, Lovey, it's the Skipper!

Lee: Oh, I didn't know tomatoes grew on trees.

Eddy: Well, actually... oh, never mind. Skipper, what are you doing up there?!

Lazlo: I'm looking for Clarence! When I woke up this morning, he was gone!

(Numbuh 1 comes out with a catapult he invented)

Numbuh 1: I've got it!

Eddy: Got what?

Numbuh 1: Our plan to get outta here! We can build a giant catapult to fling us back home. Here, I'll demonstrate with this working model. You wind it up. Then, someone sits here, say, Lazlo, for example. (Places a coconut on the catapult) Now just pull this cord and...

(The catapult flings the coconut, which hits Lazlo on the head, making him scream and fall out of the tree and onto their house, destroying it.)

Lee: Our house!

Lazlo: Ow.

Numbuh 1: Oh dear.

Eddy: Look what you've done to our house!

Lazlo: You bumped me in the head with a coconut!

Numbuh 1: Wow, I did not mean to do that. I really apologize. Do you accept it?

Lazlo: Well, I guess it was an accident and you did say you were sorry, so I accept it.

Numbuh 1: Thanks.

Lazlo: I'm really sorry about your house. I'd be glad to help you fix it if you want me to. Do you think you could accept my apology?

Eddy: We know you didn't mean to do it, so, we accept your apology.

Lazlo: Oh, thanks.

Numbuh 1: Gee, it's sure does feel good to accepted when you make mistakes.

Lazlo: Yes sir! Boy, if I said I was sorry for doing somethin' wrong and really meant it, and people still wouldn't forgive me, I'd feel just terrible!

Numbuh 1: Oh yeah! Definitely.

(everybody looks down, realizing their mistake of not accepting Clarence's apologies)

Lazlo: Wait a second... Clarence apologized for smashing the boat.

Numbuh 1: And that was just an accident too... just like when I hit you with that coconut, or when you fell through the roof.

Lee: And we don't accept Clarence's apology at all.

Lazlo: So that's why he ran away! He must feel terrible! We've gotta find him! Come on, everybody! I think he's over here, maybe!

(everybody starts finding Clarence in the tropical forest)

Lazlo: Clarence! Claaarrence! Hey, little buddy! Clarence! Clarence! ClarenceClarenceClarenceClarenceClarence!

(Lazlo is out of the forest and he see Clarence's sailing away on a bamboo raft)

Lazlo: Hey, little buddy! Come back! We have something to say to you!

Clarence (distance): You guys don't like me anymore! So I'm just gonna leeeave!

Lazlo: What?

(Clarence blows and turns the little boat to get closer)

Clarence: I said... You guys don't like me anymore! So I'm just gonna leave!

Eddy: We do like you, Larry.

Lee: Yes, and we accept your apologies for smashing the boat.

(The raft reaches the shore.)

Clarence: You do?

Lazlo: We realized that everybody makes mistakes sometimes, and it was wrong of us not to accept your apologies when you apologized.

Clarence: Yeah?

Lazlo: Yeah! Do you accept our apologies for not accepting yours?

Clarence: Um, okay, I accept your apologies, guys.

Eddy: Oh, good.

Palmy the Palm Tree: Hello?

Eddy: Did you say something?

Lee: No it was that tree again.

Palmy The Palm Tree: I'm so happy to see you forgiving each other. It makes me want to sing. Do you mind?

All: No!

(Steel drum style music starts)

Palmy the Palm Tree: You know that in love, we can accept, it is the only way to live, obey The lord and see, that we can live in harmony! (In harmony!) Since The lord has accepted ours, it's true, you accept mine, I'll accept yours, I'm gonna start to show acceptance from my heart!

Both: Oh, summer!

Lee: Yes, now if only there was a way for us to get back home.

Lazlo: Yeah. Well, at least were all friends again. Hey, has anybody seen the professor?

Clarence: Nope.

(The shadow of a helicopter appears, surprising Lazlo.)

Lazlo: Aaah!

Numbuh 1: Hey! Do you like it? I made it entirely out of bamboo and coconut! Pretty good, huh? Well, climb aboard!

(A ladder falls down from the helicopter)

Clarence: Hey Lazlo?

Lazlo: Yeah Clarence?

Clarence: Um, next summer, let's just sell lemonade, like everyone else.

Lalzo: That sounds like a good idea.

(The song continues as thees guys fly away from the island.)

Palmy the Palm Tree: You know that in love, we can forgive, it is the only way to live, obey God and see, that we can live in harmony! (In harmony!) Since God has accepted ours, it's true, you accept mine, I'll accept yours, I'm gonna start to show acceptance from my heart! So do your part, and show acceptance from your heart!

Heheheheh!

(Fades back to the ground with Lazlo and Clarence)

Lazlo: We've sure learned a lot about acceptance on that island.

Clarence: Yeah! Well, we also learned about how many things you can make with bamboo! We made a bamboo raft, a bamboo hut, a bamboo catapult, a bamboo helicopter...

Lazlo: Ahem! We get the point.

Clarence: Bamboo.

Lazlo: It's time to talk about what we learned today.

(The What have we learned song plays)

(Clarence interrupts while Lazlo tries to say something)

Clarence: Bamboobamboobamboo!

(The song continues before Lazlo and Clarence recap the stories.)

Lazlo: Numbuh 3 learned that it is easier to accept others' apologies when we remember that The lord accept ours, no matter what we do.

Clarence: Yep! & on the island, we learned that everybody makes mistakes sometimes, and when we forgive each other, we all feel better inside! And about bamboo.

Lazlo: Let's see if QWERTY has a verse for us.

(QWERTY opens a verse for Colossians 3:13b.)

Lazlo: "Colossians 3:13b Forgive Others As The Lord Forgave You." Hmm, so, so that's why we need to accept. Well, we're out of time for today. But remember.

Clarence: The lord made you special and He loves you very much.

Lazlo: Bye!

Clarence: Bamboo!
