Bob the Tomato responds to a fan's letter about "waiting" by directing a Bible-times interview with Abraham, Sarah and their promised son. Bob & Junior's patience is tested by splitting camels, a confused nurse, an easily distracted film crew, and a host of other laughable filming disasters! Includes a Silly Song with Larry entitled "Sneeze If You Need To!," and the musical "misadventures" of Blunders in Boo-Boo-Ville. This episode also showcases nationally syndicated radio host "Delilah" as the voice of Sarah. Kids will learn God always keeps His promises, even if we have to wait... and wait... and wait!

Brad: I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a ten dollar spending cap.::Howard: Well, maybe if you came home more than once a decade, you'd know crap like that!

Quotes:

Simon: I've been thinking.::Joe: Yeah?::Simon: Last year we were in the squirt league, and this year we're in the pewee.::Joe: So?::Simon: So what do they want us to do, play baseball or urinate? Anyway, I was just thinking.

Adult Joe Wenteworth: Time is a monster that cannot be reasoned with. It responds like a snail to our impatience, then it races like a gazelle when you can't catch a breath.

Simon: You're already a bastard. Might as well be an enlightened one.

Simon: I'm a miracle you know.::Joe: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Simon: She's so sexy that sometimes I forget she's someone's mother.::Joe: Well, what if I said the same thing about your mother?::Simon: I'd have you committed.

Simon: If God's made the church bake sale a priority, we're in a lot of trouble.

Simon: What I want to do and what I do are two separate things. If we all went around doing what we wanted all the time, there'd be chaos.

Simon: Your mother is so sexy, sometimes I forget she's someone's mother.::Joe: What if I said the same thing about your mother?::Simon: I'd have you committed.

Adult Joe Wenteworth: [voiceover] I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice, not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother's death, but because he is the reason I believe in God.

Joe: I have faith. I just need proof to back it up.

Quotes:

The Hoggetts' granddaughter: [opens her present to reveal the beautiful dollhouse Mr. Hoggett made; begins crying] Wwwwaaaaaahh!::Mrs. Esme Hoggett: Oh, what's wrong, dear?::The Hoggetts' granddaughter: [sobs] It's the wrong one. I WANT THE HOUSE I SAW ON THE TELEVISION!::Mrs. Esme Hoggett: [consoles her granddaughter] Oh, there, there.

Narrator: This is a tale about an unprejudiced heart, and how it changed our valley forever. There was a time not so long ago when pigs were afforded no respect, except by other pigs; they lived their whole lives in a cruel and sunless world. In those days pigs believed that the sooner they grew large and fat, the sooner they'd be taken into Pig Paradise, a place so wonderful that no pig had ever thought to come back.

Maa the Very Old Ewe: Darn silly carry-on, if you ask me.::Horse: The cat says they call it Christmas::Ferdinand the duck: Christmas! Christmas dinner, yeah. Dinner means death. Death means carnage! Christmas means carnage!::[flies away frantically]::Ferdinand the duck: Christmas means carnage!

Cat: Oh, do forgive me for scratching you dear. I got a bit carried away. It's a cat thing.::Babe: [laughs] Oh, well, but...::Cat: Feeling good about tomorrow, are you?::Babe: Mm-hmm, it should be alright, I think.::Cat: You know, I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm not sure if you realise how much the other animals are laughing at you for this sheep dog business.::Babe: Why would they do that?::Cat: Well, they say that you've forgotten that you're a pig. Isn't that silly? And they even said that you don't know what pigs are for.::Babe: What do you mean 'what pigs are for'?::Cat: You know, why pigs are here.::Babe: Why are any of us here?::Cat: Well, the cow's here to be milked, the dogs are here to help the Boss's husband with the sheep, and I'm here to be beautiful and affectionate to the Boss.::Babe: Yes?::Cat: [sighs softly] The fact is that pigs don't have a purpose, just like ducks don't have a purpose.::Babe: [confused] Uh, I - I don't, uh...::Cat: Alright, for your own sake, I'll be blunt. Why do the Bosses keep ducks? To eat them. So why do the Bosses keep a pig? The fact is that animals that don't seem to have a purpose really do have a purpose. The Bosses have to eat. It's probably the most noble purpose of all, when you come to think about it.::Babe: They eat pigs?::Cat: Pork, they call it - or bacon. They only call them pigs when they're alive.::Babe: But, uh, I'm a sheep pig.::Cat: [giggles] The Boss's husband's just playing a little game with you. Believe me, sooner or later, every pig gets eaten. That's the way the world works. Oh, I haven't upset you, have I?::[chuckles softly]

Ferdinand the duck: Look, there's something you should know.::Babe the pig: Yes?::Ferdinand: Humans eat ducks!::Babe: [gasps] I beg your pardon?::Ferdinand: Ah, most ducks prefer to forget it, but the fact is that humans like to eat plump, attractive ducks.::Babe: Ohhh, I don't think so. Not the Boss, not the Boss's wife.::Ferdinand: Oh, come on. Humans don't eat cats - why?::Babe: Well, they're...::Ferdinand: They're indispensable: they catch mice. Humans don't eat roosters - why? They make eggs with the hens and wake everyone up in the morning.::Babe: Right.::Ferdinand: I tried it with the hens: it didn't work. So I turned to crowing, and lo! I discover my gift. But no sooner do I become indispensable than they bring in a machine to do the job. Ohhhh-oh-oh, the treachery of it - a mechanical rooster!

[Babe's first attempt to herd sheep just got him laughed at]::Babe: This is ridiculous, Mum!::Fly: Nonsense, it's only your first try. But you're treating them like equals. They're sheep, they're inferior.::Babe: Oh, no they're not.::Fly: Of course they are. We are their masters, Babe. Let them doubt it for a second and they'll walk all over you.::Rex the Male Sheepdog: Fly! Get the pig out of there!::Fly: Make them feel inferior - abuse them, insult them.::Rex the Male Sheepdog: Fly!::Babe: They'll laugh at me.::Fly: Then bite them! Be ruthless. Whatever it takes, bend them to your will.::Rex the Male Sheepdog: Enough!::Fly: Go on, go!

Old Ewe: We've got something here that might be of use to our pig.::Sheep, Sheep, Sheep: Password! Password!::Old Ewe: Before we gives you anything, wolf, you'll be making us a solemn, promise.::Rex the Male Sheepdog: Yes?::Sheep: Treat us civil!::Old Ewe: Yes, you gotta treat us nice-like.::Rex the Male Sheepdog: I'll try.::Sheep: No biting!::Old Ewe: That's right, wolf must avoid biting us sheep at all costs.::Rex the Male Sheepdog: Alright, I'll try that too. I'll try.::Old Ewe: But the most important of all, you must promise never ever to let this password we be about to give to be used against any sheep anywhere.::Rex the Male Sheepdog: I promise you that. I'll make make sure that the pig knows it too.::Old Ewe: We have the promise!::Sheep: 'Tis for Babe!::Sheep: It's for his sake!::Sheep: Maa would've wanted it.::Old Ewe: [with other sheep, in unison] Baa-ram-ewe. Baa-ram-ewe. To your breed, your fleece, your clan be true. Sheep be true. Baa-ram-ewe.

Fly: All right, how did you do it?::Babe: I asked them and they did it. I just asked them nicely.::Fly: We don't ask sheep, dear; we tell them what to do.::Babe: But I did, Mum. They were really friendly.

Narrator: There are many perfectly nice cats in the world, but every barrel has its bad apples, and it is well to heed the old adage, "Beware the bad cat bearing a grudge."

[last lines]::Narrator: And though every single human in the stands or in the commentary boxes was at a complete loss for words, the man who in his life had uttered fewer words than any of them knew exactly what to say.::Farmer Hoggett: That'll do, pig. That'll do.
