Wishbone (1995) s01e13 Episode Script

What's the story, Wishbone?
What's this your dreamin' of such
big imagination on such a little pop?
What's the story, Wishbone?
Do you think it's worth a look?
It kind of seems familiar
like a story from a book.
Shake a leg now, Wishbone.
Let's wag another tale.
Sniffing out adventure
with Wishbone on the trail.
Come on Wishphone.
What's the story, Wishbone?
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Time's up.
Pass your test forward, please.
Amanda, would you collect them for me?
Thank you, Amanda.
For tomorrow, I want all of you
to bone up on your spelling.
We are going to have a class spelling B.
Pay attention.
This half of the room, you're team A.
This half, team B.
I want each team to select a team captain
that you feel best represents your team.
Will this be a part of our grade?
No.
This assignment, besides
being about spelling, is
all about teamwork and
the spirit of competition.
Now, remember, team captains
before class tomorrow.
Not Joe, nach, not Joe, not
Joe, not Joe, not Joe, not Joe.
Hey, what's up, buddy?
Hey, Pat.
Oh, sure.
Who's playing?
I can't see him.
Ready for the contest?
Who'd you pick as your team captain?
Amanda.
Who did you choose?
We haven't yet.
Well, I'm sure you can find
somebody who can spell on your team.
Good luck, Samantha.
So, a challenge has been set before us.
A contest of courage and strength.
Just like the first
tournament in Ivanhoe.
Ivanhoe was written by Sir Walter
Scott and published in 1819.
Set in medieval England,
it's the story of a young
knight's homecoming from
a war in a distant land.
Ivanhoe returns to find England deeply
divided between the Normans and the Saxons.
In those days, Normans and Saxons
competed at great tournaments.
The Normans loved to
push the Saxons around.
They were medieval
bullies. And the biggest one of all
was a man named Sir Brian Dubois Gilbe.
Ivanhoe's father was
a Saxon named Cedric.
He had not seen his
son since Ivanhoe left
home years before. Amidst
the spectators were
two pilgrims. Isaac of
York and his daughter
Rebecca were outcasts among the English.
They had traveled to the tournament with a
mysterious knight in disguise.
Oh, yeah. Prince John was there, too.
Prince John was the brother
of King Richard and had taken
over the rule of England when
Richard left for the Crusades.
Prince John was not so
nice a guy, and he pretty
much let the Normans do
whatever they wanted.
But all that was about to change.
I watched this tournament
and all I see are Normans.
Normans, Normans, Normans, Normans,
Normans, everyone, Normans.
Is there no great knight left to
defend the honor of the Saxons?
Yay, Ivanhoe would be that worthy knight.
Were he here and not all fighting
beside King Richard in the Crusades?
Oh, silence, blasphemy!
Speak not that name in my presence.
I forbade him his leave
and still he went.
Such disobedience deserves
his disinheritance.
But not the name of his
presence in my mind.
For no, you might just a wamba.
If you did not bring me such great pleasure,
I would have you silenced permanently.
Your Highness.
I'm busy.
I believe there is a winner.
Glory to the brave.
Is there no other night to
challenge our good Sir Brian?
Having been disinherited
by his father, Ivanhoe
was forced to disguise
himself to the crowd.
No one knew who this
disinherited knight was.
Ahem, Your Highness.
I accept the challenge!
Ivanhoe was pretty good.
I love a contest.
Who are we going to pick
for our team captain?
Oh, me! I'm a barren leader!
Fearless, dashing, bold,
handsome, yet furry
A spelling bee? I don't know.
A spelling bee, I think you guys
are just the people for the job.
Mm-hmm, yes, sir.
I nominate David.
Or David, David's good.
Yeah, what?
Me?
No, not me.
Maybe a math quiz, sure.
Lay it on me, but spelling?
I think Sam should be our team captain.
Yeah.
You're always reading.
Sam is perfect.
All in favor of Sam is
our team captain, say aye.
Aye.
It's not them I'm worried about.
It's her.
Welcome to the first one.
The first round of the spelling bee.
If you spell the word
given to you and correctly,
you will be disqualified
and returned your seat.
The team with the last
remaining team member
to correctly spell all the words
given to them will be the winner.
Teams. Are you ready?
Let us begin.
Team A, your first word.
Bulletin.

N-A-G-G-G-G-E.
G-O-G-G-E.
That is incorrect.
It's all right.
Hold it, hold it.
The spelling bee is not over.
Each team now has two members remaining.
We'll finish this tomorrow.
Good job, Amanda.
Yeah, you too.
I guess tomorrow we'll find out who the
best feller is in front of the whole class.
Guess we will.
Don't let her get to you.
Yeah, you're just as good as she is.
Better.
Thanks, guys.
We can go to my house to study.
Sure, okay.
Coming down!
Hey!
Hey, eh, eh, eh, eh, hey.
I love that.
Okay, guys, let's do some spelling!
Okay, David.
Per-perspicacious.
What?
Ouch, that's a word?
Glad I'm a dog.
Joe, we're tired, and they're not gonna
have words like that in the spelling bee.
Amanda was funny when she
started losing teammates.
Did you see the look on her face?
Ha!
Probably a lot like the look
Sir Brian had on his face.
when Ivanhoe took the
field against the Normans.
Oh, miss me!
Oh, missed again.
Hey, I'm too fast for ya!
Ha ha! Where'd you learn
how to use that thing?
Woo!
Hold your crowd, man!
Who!
Prepare to be vanquished!
A disinherited knight, we award
you the honors of this tournament
and announce your right
to claim the victory,
which your valor justly deserves.
Father, we must help him.
Cedric will do nothing, and Prince
Stone will surely let him die.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
I could use a little pick-me-up.
What do you say?
I'm hungry. Me too.
We gotta keep studying.
I can't. I'm exhausted.
Face it.
We're doomed.
Wait a minute.
Here.
You ever try these protein bars?
Ooh.
My mom gets them.
She says they're good for energy.
I'm for energy.
Great.
Excuse me, but this was my idea.
Where is the protein bar for the dog?
Hello. There is someone
without a snack in this room.
What does a guy have to do to
get some attention around here?
Not bad.
Yeah, pretty good.
I'm begging.
What's in them?
Let's see.
Wheat.
Rolled oats.
Still begging.
Brown sugar, coconut,
fruit topping, concentrate.
What?
What? Are you okay?
I don't know. She does
look a little green.
Did you say coconut?
Yeah, why?
I'm allergic to coconut.
Like how? I mean, what happens?
My nose gets all stuffed up.
My eyes start itching
and my skin breaks out.
Sometimes I get all puffy.
Do we need to get a doctor?
I don't know. Sometimes it takes a while.
Okay, well let's not panic.
Maybe nothing will happen.
Uh-oh, initiate allergy panic system.
Remove all coconuts from the building.
Today on Wishbone Live,
allergies, the people
who have them and the
people who live with them.
Hi, Mr. Kepler.
Hey, good morning, boys.
We decided to stop by and
walk with Sam to school.
Please say Sam's coming to school.
Please.
Sam?
Say it isn't so.
Oh, I'm sorry, Sam. I'm really sorry.
It's not your fault. It
was just an accident.
Unfortunately, I don't think
she's up for school today, guys.
Uh-oh.
Sorry, Sam.
Amanda's going to think I choked and
didn't want to show up on purpose.
She's going to think I'm saying.
It doesn't matter what she
thinks. You've got to get well.
Your voice hurts just to listen to it.
David, you've got to stand up for
our team and win the spelling be.
Me? You're right.
I know you can do it.
If anyone can, it's you.
Of course he can.
My dad used to tell us
players, you just have to
swallow your fear and do it
for the good of the team.
That's right. Believe in yourself,
David. You give it to him.
Okay, I'm gonna do it.
You know, as a motivational
speaker, I'm pretty good.
Well, bye, Sam.
I really hope you get better soon.
Thanks.
That's it, boys. Chests up. Chins out.
Onward and upward to victory!
Boy, I hope they know what they're doing.
Isaac and Rebecca took a big
chance when they decided to
take the injured Ivanhoe with
them after the tournament.
Oh, an angel?
No, it is I, Rebecca,
daughter of Isaac of York.
You are greatly wounded.
But I must
Shh.
Do not speak.
Quick, cover him up.
court, sir.
We are but poor, sir.
souls traveling from the city with a
sick friend and have lost our escorts.
Could I beseech your valour
to allow my daughter and
me to travel under the
protection of your safeguard?
The man is old and feeble.
The maiden young and beautiful, their
friend, sick and in peril of his life.
My lord, we cannot leave
them in this extremity.
Be it so.
Go on.
Of the name of justice,
why are we to be prisoners?
That concerns thee none, vile Saxon.
Away!
Their captors led them off for
the dreaded castle Torkelstone.
Sir Brian had hopes of
ransom for the group.
But when his eyes fell upon Rebecca,
he was mesmerized,
and she was to become his only desire.
Okay, boys, confidence!
Oh, the Normans!
I mean, the enemy.
Where Sam?
Uh, Sam?
She couldn't make it.
Yeah, she's sick.
Really?
Really.
Sort of changes the dynamics
of the spelling beat.
David can do it.
All right, three minutes.
Let's go.
Go, boys!
A-A-T!
A-T!
A-T!
There's gotta be a way
I can get in on this.
Um, uh, Mr. Pruitt.
I know it's highly unusual, but
I was wondering if I guess not.
Hmm.
I can't miss this?
Ah.
Boy, now I know how Ivanhoe felt
cooped up in that terrible castle while
all the action was happening elsewhere.
Where?
Noble, damsel.
Bestow not on me, sir
knight, the epithet of noble.
It is well, I render you careful
tendance as your present state demands.
You have tended me my wounds?
Such powerful healing you possess.
I am most grateful, dear Rebecca.
I remember pray little but
vague since the tournament.
What residence harbors us?
The wicked castle of Torkelstone,
inflicted with imprisonment.
All? Sedrick and his household?
And to my father, Isaac of York.
Save Wamba, your father's loyal jester,
whom have found escape for help.
After Wamba had escaped, he went for
help, gathering a huge army of men.
Rebecca, pray, speak.
Shh.
If I could but fight.
ridden monk.
The castle burns.
Fly, Rebecca.
Save thine own life.
I will not leave thee.
Rebecca, there is put one path to escape.
A hound!
Trayter!
Hound!
Set free the damso!
Ivanhoe!
Ivanhoe commands thee!
Oh!
Hmm.
Wonder how it's going in there.
Camouflage.
Camouflage.
C-A-M-A-F-L-O-G-E.
I'm sorry, that's incorrect.
Take your seat.
Okay, class, it looks like
we're down to the final round.
The teams are tied.
There's only one member for each team.
Are you ready?
David.
Your word is
camouflage.
Camouflage.
Camouflage.
C-A-M-M-O-U-U-F-L-A-G-E.
Yes. Very good.
Yes.
That one was for Sam.
Amanda.
Precipitation.
Precipitation.
Precipitation.
P-R-E.
E. C-I. P-I. P-I.
T-A. T-I-O-N. Precipitation?
Correct!
Very good.
I can't stand this.
The final showdown and I'm not there?
I'm a dog of action. I
need to be in the fight.
Like the battle Ivanhoe fights to save
the reputation and life of Rebecca!
After her kidnapping
from Castle Torkelstone,
Rebecca has refused Sir Brian's love,
driving him mad.
And she was thus accused
of being a witch.
The Normans believed she had
cast a spell on Sir Brian.
And they sentenced Rebecca
to burn at the stake
unless a champion appeared
to defend her against her
charge.
Gorg of a Saxon!
Prepare for the death
thou hast drawn upon thee.
It is the judgment of righteousness.
To his keeping, I commend myself.
Rebecca, I do defend!
You have to do better than that!
Oh!
Let's close.
Enough of Norman!
And I have had enough of you.
Enough of you!
And now the big finish!
Ho!
Slay him not!
Slay him not.
Sir not.
We allow him vanquished.
My victory is acknowledged.
Free Rebecca!
Ivanhoe, my son.
My anger has fled.
Reclaim your birthright.
And my blessing.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
What expense can a dog take in one day?
E-M-A-N-C-I-P-A-T-I-O-N.
Emancipation.
Excellent!
Yes!
All right, David.
Perpendicular.
Yes.
P-E-R-R-P-E-N-D-D-I-C-U-L-A-R.
Yes.
Yes.
Alright now, now let's settle down.
It's not over yet.
Amanda?
Miscellaneous.
Miscellaneous.
Miscellaneous.
Mis-I-S-C-E-L-A-N-E-O-U-S.
Miscellaneous.
Oh, Amanda.
I'm sorry.
That's incorrect.
All right, David. Can you spell it?
Miscellaneous.
M-I-S-M-I-S-C-C-E-L-L-L-A-A-A
- A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A.
A N-E-O-U-S?
Yes, that's correct.
We have a winner!
We did it!
Congratulations, Team A.
I can't wait to tell Sam.
Yeah, I know.
Good contest.
Yeah, good contest.
Good contest.
Ha-ha!
The Triumphant Heroes return!
What do we eat?
Okay, okay, I'm coming.
Okay.
Yeah.
We won, we won. It was awesome.
You should have been there.
Missalini.
It was an awesome thing.
All right.
This is great.
Let's eat.
Sam.
You cured.
Yeah, well, it wasn't
as bad as it usually is.
You should have seen Amanda squirm.
Yeah, she was sweating and
stumbling. It was great.
Oh, and I missed it.
Well, I missed it.
stumbling also.
You know what?
I would have been sweating
and stumbling, too.
You?
I think I lost two pounds.
I was sweating worse than a glass
of ice water on a hot August day.
I was more nervous than
a worm in a bird's nest.
Look at Wishbone.
I think he's pretty worn out.
Yeah, it looks pretty tired.
Oh, finally a little
attention around here.
Sam truly understands me.
Sam, I'm sorry I got you sick and
I'm glad you're feeling better.
Thanks.
It'll give me a hard time
about not being there.
I don't think so.
We told her that you coached David
and taught him everything he knows.
Ha ha!
It helps to have friends
who'll stand up for you.
And get to a snack.
Let me repeat that last part.
Get you a snack.
Snack as in kitchen.
Hello?
In Sir Walter Scott's
Ivanhoe, Rebecca is held
on trial at the medieval
court of Temple Stone.
We needed to come.
create our own temple stow, so we
boned up on our castle building skills.
Sir Walter Scott's temple stow
took months or years to build.
We finished ours in six days.
Some doghouse, huh?
You can sniff out
Wishbone books and other
great things to read
at your local library.
Funding for Wishbone provided by annual
financial support from
PBS viewers, like you.
What? You say you want something to do?
Well, try this.
Gather up your humans,
put them in the car,
and high-tail it to your local library!
Ha-ha!
There's something for the
whole family at the library.
Adventure, comedy, mystery.
So high-tail it to your local library.
It's a family thing. Only if you want to
book on the top shelf, bring someone tall.
Gonna get some assistance here.
