    Mike: Oh! I'm sorry.
    Laura: ?
    Mike: Laura!
    Bob: Ow!
    Laura: (gasps) Not my ticket!
    Mike: Aah! Quick! Get it!
    Bob: The map!
    Mike: Sorry!
    Bob: Map! ( screams in horror )
    Laura: (O.S.) My ticket!
    Bob: Do you mind?
    Mike: I'm stuck. ( gasps in horror )
    All: Whoa!!!
    Bob: Get it, we gonna fix it! Put it! Stuck it put it! Porcupine!
    Mike: Tree! Cabin! Underwear!
    Bob: ( laughing nervously ) Well, I'm glad that's over. ( clothesline snapping ) Did you say something? ( clothesline snapped ) Oh…
    Mike: ...dear.
    ( all screaming )
    Bob: Am I in heaven?
    Mike: ( sniffing ) It smells like Wisconsin.
    Bob: Well, nobody got hurt. Ow!
    Mike: Wow! What a shot.
    Bob: ( Bob groans ) Hey!
    Junior: Hey, what's that?
    All: Ooh.
    Annie: (O.S.) What's "seafoo"?
    Percy Pea: Maybe, it’s like tofu.
    Mike: Only saltier.
    All: (O.S.) Ahh. ( indistinct chattering )
    [Jonah, still dreaming, is tosses in his bunk. Pa Grape calls at him off-screen]
    Pa Grape: Jonah! Jonah! Jonah!
    Jonah: No! I... I can't hear you!
    Pa Grape: Come on, wake up! We've got trouble!
    Jonah: What? What's happening?
    Pa Grape: We're in a storm! Like I've never seen before! If we don't do something quick, we're gonna sink!
    Khalil: We seem to have sprung a leak, traveling buddy!
    Pa Grape: Huh? Hey! What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to get off my ship, you lousy leaf-eater?
    Khalil: Well, yes. But you see, my new friend and I are going to Tarshish to break the back of the camel thieves! [Pa Grape turns to Jonah, who rolls his eyes] Crime-fighting runs very deep in my family.
    Pa Grape: Why, if it wasn't for this storm, I'd make you walk the plank. And you! How can you sleep at a time like this?!
    Jonah: What's going on?!
    Pa Grape: I'll tell you what's going on! We're all gonna be fish food if I don't get some help!
    Jonah: Well, what can we do?!
    Pa Grape: Oh! Get up and pray to your God! Maybe He'll have mercy on us and spare our lives! [falls over] Oy! Somebody up there must be really upset with somebody down here! Wait a minute. That's it! All right you two, follow me!
    Pa Grape: Huh?! I thought you sure-
    Jonah: Alright, I admit it, it's my fault, all my fault! I'm the one to blame!
    Pa Grape: But, I...the worm...
    Jonah: I'm a Hebrew, and I worship the Lord, the God of Heaven, who made the sea and the land, and I'm running away from Him! He told me to go to Nineveh, but I didn't listen! You know, I don't like those people...
    Mr. Lunt: Ooh, fish-slappers.
    Jonah: Yes, so I ran. I ran and I ended up here, and now everyone's in terrible danger all because of me! I'm afraid the only thing left is to be thrown into the sea!
    Larry: Aw, you don't have to do that. We got a plank! You can just walk off!
    Jonah: ...yes, thank you, you're too kind.
    Jonah: Uh-oh! (he as pirates starts crying in terror) No!
    Khalil: What is happening that is make you all cry like little babies?!
    Khalil: What are we doing?
    Jonah: Oh, it’s time to watch and fun.
    Khalil: And, what fun would that be?
    Bob: [confused] Wait a minute. It's over?!
    Pa Grape: Yup.
    Bob: That's how it ends?!
    Pa Grape: Yup.
    Junior: But what did Jonah learn?
    Mr. Lunt: The question, my friends, is not "what did Jonah learn". The question is — what did you learn?
    Junior: Well, I learned that we need to help people who need help... And we need to give second chances. Even if they don't deserve them. But what's that got to do with us?
    Pa Grape: Hey, tomato.
    Bob: Eh?
    Pa Grape: Your friend there... the big asparagus. If I'm not mistaken, he didn't do such a good job helping you with the map.
    Bob: Oh, it was a disaster! He said he was sorry and that he'd do better next time, but no way! Uh uh! I- Oh. Mercy. I guess everyone deserves a second chance.
    Pa Grape: Yup. Now get outta here before my crab legs get cold! [closes the divider]
    Mike: You know, that still wasn't a very good way to end a story.
    Pa Grape: Well, whaddya want? A big musical number?!
    Mike: Well, yeah!
    Pa Grape: [to Larry] Who do they think I am, Twippo?
    Twippo: [off-screen] Yes?
    All: Twippo!
    (last lines; after "Jonah Was a Prophet")
    Khalil: [off-screen] I beg your pardon. [all the veggies look at him dressed as a tow truck guy] I hate to break up the party, but who needed a tow?
    Twippo: Ah... have we met?
