Marvin's Surprise

"**Marvin's Surprise**" is the first half of the seventh episode in the first season.

## Summary

One day Marvin looks at the calendar and realizes that today is the anniversary of the day Marvin started working at the carnival. He hopes that he will get a party and everything, especially after overhearing innocent talk of cake and gifts and surprises, Marvin mistakenly assumes his friends are throwing him a surprise party for the anniversary. However none of them were actually doing that: Jack got some Christmas decorations instead of costumes, Edna is telling Elizabeth what's happening on a tv show before it happens, and Diamonds is asking Stripes if she's seen a special item she wants to give Elizabeth. Eddy is shocked to hear that Marvin thinks he's getting a surprise party even though no one is actually planning anything. Even after talking to Edna, they cannot figure anything out. Regardless, Eddy decides to give Marvin a party as he wants one. When the day comes to an end and no party happens, a disappointed Marvin realizes he shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. Fortunately, Eddy is aware of his friend's disappointment and throws him a wonderful last minute party. Marvin was happier than ever in the end despite the Christmas decorations and Lemon Ice (which he is pleased with). In the end, it goes to show how understanding good friends can be. During all of this, Jack realizes that Marvin's anniversary is next week, but since there is already a party happening he lets this all slide.

The girls get revenge on Stripes by taking away Mr. Grizzly and soon everyone is bickering and fighting. At a meeting in the tent, Marvin tells the three that the practical jokes have gone on far enough and wants them to call a truce.

Eddy and Marvin try to tell Stripes he went to far but he won't listen. Stripes' final joke backfires, he decides to fix the Ferris wheel so that when Elizabeth rides it tomorrow she'll be stuck. Unfortunately while he adjusts the wheel, Stripes falls into one of the cars, leaving him stranded on top and when he tries to call Diamonds and Elizabeth for help, they think it's another trick so they don't help.

Marvin Wiki:Transcripts

Transcripts on Muppet Wiki are research tools that help editors to write better articles. Transcripts provide quotes and detailed information that might otherwise be difficult for the average contributor to access. Transcripts are supplementary material, and not an end in themselves. These guidelines are meant to clarify the proper use of transcripts on the wiki.

## Format

Transcripts must use the Marvin Wiki transcript format, with the dialogue in table form. The format is easy to cut and paste. Please use that format -- it's impolite to type out a long scene and then expect other editors to reformat it for you.

## Accuracy

Transcripts are research tools, and must be absolutely accurate. Don't make a transcript quickly, or from memory. Once you've finished, listen carefully to the audio again to make sure that the words are exactly right. Every word matters. A hurried, inaccurate transcript is not very useful.

## Violating these guidelines

If a user posts a transcript that doesn't have an introduction, doesn't use the transcript format, or isn't accurate, then a message will be posted on the article's discussion page and on the user's talk page, asking for the problems to be corrected. If the contributor doesn't bring the transcript up to the wiki standard within a reasonable time, and other contributors haven't volunteered to help, then the transcript will be deleted.

Transcripts of commercially available material will automatically be deleted.

## Please post transcripts!

Contributors are strongly encouraged to post transcripts of rare material. These transcripts provide a searchable database of material that editors can use to expand existing articles. If you're able to make transcripts according to these guidelines, that would be very helpful. Thank you!

“*I bet no other carnival in the whole country has an all-penguin band.*”
―Marvin

**The Penguin's Five** is a band that accompanies the acts at the performance tent, made up of 5 penguins. They first appeared in "The New Band". The penguins are mischievous, but they sure like to perform their music on stage. They also like to eat fish and seafood, like most penguins do.

## Appearances

They have the typical look of regular penguins but have red bowties and buttons on their front, representing shirts.

## Trivia

* Unlike the other carnival friends the penguins are non anthropomorphic, so they make typical animal sounds.
Anh Đinh Quang Tuyến bị côn an mật vụ đánh đổ máu

***CTV Danlambao***
 - Lúc 7:15’ sáng nay, 19/5/2015, anh Đinh Quang Tuyến - tên thường gọi
là Tuyến Xích Lô đã bị 2 viên an ninh cộng sản đánh đổ máu trong lúc
đang đi tập thể dục.

Vụ việc xảy ra ngay tại khu Đồng Diều, đường Cao Lỗ, quận 8, Sài Gòn.
Hậu quả trận đòn thù đã khiến anh Đinh Quang Tuyến bị nứt sương mũi, máu
 chảy lênh láng khắp người.

***Côn an mật vụ tấn công!***

Trước đó, ngay khi anh Tuyến vừa ra khỏi nhà thì thấy có rất đông công an ngồi chờ sẵn.

Anh vừa đạp xe đi thì phía CA lập tức gọi điện thoại và cho người bám
sát. Đến khu vực Đồng Diều (quận 8, Sài Gòn), do linh cảm có chuyện
chẳng lành nên anh dừng xe quan sát.

Lúc này, 2 kẻ bịt mặt đi xe máy lập tức lao đến tung cú đấm cực mạnh vào
 ngay giữa mặt anh Đinh Quang Tuyến, máu phun tung tóe khiến ướt đẫm cả
áo.

Trong lúc nạn nhân vừa ngã xuống thì bọn chúng lên xe bỏ chạy mất. Anh
Tuyến dù rất đau và choáng váng, nhưng vẫn phải gắng gượng về nhà để
băng bó vết thương.

Trong đoạn video ngắn phổ biến ngay sau đó, anh Đinh Quang Tuyến khẳng định: *“Tôi vừa bị côn an mật vụ tấn công!”*

***'Dằn mặt'***

Trao đổi với Danlambao ngay sau khi vụ việc xảy ra, anh Đinh Quang Tuyến
 cho biết vụ hành hung là một thủ đoạn dằn mặt của côn an cộng sản đối
với những người hoạt động ôn hòa.

Trong thời gian gần đây, facebook anh liên tục bày tỏ sự phản đối hành
vi bạo lực nhắm vào những người như anh Nguyễn Chí Tuyến, Trần Thị Nga,
Trịnh Anh Tuấn... Gần đây nhất là vụ CA hành hung những người người biểu
 tình đòi trả tự do cho ông Mai Xuân Dũng tại sân bay Nội Bài.

*"Nếu đánh tôi để dằn mặt thì họ đã không thể đạt được mục đích"*, anh Tuyến nói.

Dù vết thương vẫn còn đang rỉ máu, anh Đinh Quang Tuyến nói rằng bản
thân anh là một người đấu tranh bất bạo động, anh không căm ghét hay hận
 thù gì đối với 2 viên côn an mật vụ đã ra tay đánh người, vì họ chỉ là
công cụ.

Tuy nhiên, anh cho rằng: *"Nếu có trách thì phải trách những kẻ đã ra lệnh cho họ làm điều sai trái"*

Vụ hành hung dã man diễn ra vào đúng ngày mà đảng cộng sản kỷ niệm 125 ngày sinh Hồ Chí Minh.

Anh Đinh Quang Tuyến sinh năm 1965, hiện đang sống tại Sài Gòn. Anh được
 biết đến qua hành động 'Không bán nước' độc đáo tại công viên Tao Đàn
vào sáng hôm 8/6/2014 với thông điệp: “Nước nhà không bán” và “Mất nước
là chết”.

Ngày 22/6/2014, anh bị công an bắt cóc khi một mình đứng trước Nhà thờ
Đức Bà (Sài Gòn) giơ cao biểu ngữ có nội dung “Chần chừ kiện Trung Quốc
là phản bội Dân Tộc”.

Sau khi tham gia các hoạt động này, anh Tuyến thường xuyên bị côn an theo dõi, sách nhiễu, đóng chốt trước cửa nhà.

Ngày 4/4/2015, anh Tuyến cũng bị bắt giam nhiều tiếng đồ hồ. Trong đồn,
một viên CA sắc phục thậm chí còn đe dọa 'bắn bỏ' anh Đinh Quang Tuyến.

Bất nhấp những đe dọa và sách nhiễu của chế độ CS, anh Đinh Quang Tuyến
vẫn tiếp tục tỏ rõ thái độ bất khuất và tinh thần đấu tranh mạnh mẽ
trước bạo quyền.
Nhóm Tin Lành Bắc Giang bị côn đồ bảo kê bởi chính quyền địa phương đánh đập

*Sách Kinh Thánh bị đốt - Ảnh: FF khanh.m.vu*

Một
 nhóm 7 người theo đạo Tin Lành ở tỉnh Bắc Giang đã bị côn đồ và mật vụ
đánh đập dưới sự bảo kê của lực lượng công an CSVN ở địa phương.

Theo
 bà Vũ Minh Khánh, vợ của cựu tù nhân lương tâm luật sư nhân quyền
Nguyễn Văn Đài thì nhóm người bị đánh tại một ngôi nhà ở thôn Dĩnh Lục
2, xã Tân Dĩnh, huyện Lạng Giang. Những người này tin Chúa, sống đời
sống lành mạnh: không nói bậy, không cờ bạc, không uống rượu hay bất kỳ
tệ nạn nào. Hàng ngày mọi người đọc Kinh Thánh, hát Thánh ca, cầu
nguyện, sống vui vẻ, chan hoà, yêu thương, sẵn sàng giúp đỡ người khác.
Họ thuê nhà từ 5 tháng 4 và đến chiều 15 tháng 4 thì có đoàn công an xã
đến hoạnh hoẹ, kiểm tra giấy tạm trú.

Sau đó, sáng ngày 19/4, có
khoảng 60 côn đồ ồ ạt xông đến nhà, phá cửa, chúng dùng cuốc, xẻng, xà
beng và gậy bằng kim loại cùng bình xịt hơi cay để tấn công những người
theo đạo Tin Lành. Cho dù chúng bịt mặt nhưng những nạn nhân vẫn nhận ra
 một số là công an đã đến kiểm tra tạm trú hôm trước. Chúng dùng xà beng
 phá cửa, chửi bậy, dùng gạch đá ném vào nhà và cửa kính. Sau khi phá
cửa, chúng xông vào đánh đập người theo đạo và đập phá tất cả tài sản
trong nhà như tivi, quạt, giường chiếu, đàn ghi ta, bát đĩa, tủ… Sau khi
 đánh họ, chúng bắt họ xếp hàng chứng kiến chúng đốt Kinh Thánh và sách
vở, đốt thẻ căn cước và sổ thông hành của họ.

Bên ngoài khu nhà,
cảnh sát cơ động tập trung rất đông. Tuy nhiên, khi các nạn nhân gọi
điện cho công an địa phương thì mãi sau công an mới đến khi những kẻ tấn
 công đã bỏ đi.**Quốc Tuấ**

### Quote

"I bang my cane for many different things."

**Mrs. Larue** is Eddy's grandmother and his only relative to be seen on the show. She can be somewhat formidable and has a habit of firmly tapping the floor with her cane when wanting to emphasize a point. Eddy is spending the summer at her house while he works at the carnival. She still calls Eddy by his real name, Edward.

She is possibly Eddy's paternal grandmother, meaning she's the mother of Eddy's father, since Eddy mentioned the time he and his dad got into an argument because his dad wanted to put him in summer camp, and his grandmother won because she insisted Eddy should stay with her.

She may be firm, but she is very kind.
