Wishbone (1995) s02e03 Episode Script

What's the story, Wishbone?
What's this your dream in love?
Such big imagination
on such a little part.
What's the story, Wishbone?
Do you think it's worth a look?
Kind of seems familiar,
like a story from a book.
Shake a leg now.
Wishbone, let's wag another day.
Slipping out adventure
with Wishbone on the trail.
Come on, Wishbone.
What's the story Wishbone?

Wishbone?
What's the story wish for?
I'm here, I'm here, relax everyone.
The new mascot has arrived.
Hi, Sam, David.
Hi, Mrs. Talbot.
Hi.
Well, it looks like you
guys are doing a great job.
Thanks for bringing with you.
We weren't sure we were gonna have
a mascot after Otis moved away.
Well, I hope Wishbone's up to it, even
if he doesn't look much like a bulldog.
And who would want to?
That's okay. He's gonna
be the best mascot ever.
At least the best looking.
Well, Joe can bring him
home. See you later.
On behalf of all dogs in Oakdale, I accept
the honor you have bestowed upon me.
I am proud to be your mascot.
Now, what exactly does a mascot do?
Let's go, Bulldogs. Huddled up.
I'm right with you, coach.
Ooh, ooh, come on, sweat, get it off.
I'm pleased with your efforts so far.
Stinky.
But, and we don't have
size on this team, which
means we'll win or lose
with outside shooting.
We have to get our people open, and when
we do, they have to make their shots.
All right?
All right, let's run through
our motion set one more time.
Joe, you take point.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Hey, sir!
Let's go!
Let's get my boy!
Let my boy shoot now!
Come on, Drew, give me the ball.
Hey, Drew, next time I'm
trying the bounce, okay?
Okay.
Run it again.
Run it again.
Let's go, scissors!
Come on.
Good.
Okay, Bulldogs.
Okay, Bulldogs.
Head a left.
You heard it, Bulldogs.
You heard it, Bulldogs.
Uh, Joe, can I huddle up?
All right, now I want you
all to remember one thing.
Oh, just wait right here.
Every time you take the
court, you should be
thinking about what you
can do to help the team.
Now, before tomorrow's game, I want to
know who you've picked to be captain.
All right? Hit the showers.
I don't know about the rest of you, but
I plan on winning some games this season.
I mean, you heard them.
When we win or lose
with the outside shot.
We all know who the go
- to guy is on this team.
The only one who could put
it in the hoop every time.
time. Isn't that right, Talbot?
Don't worry, Joe.
You're fair, you're loyal.
You've got all the qualities
of a great team leader,
even if everyone can't see it yet.
Which reminds me of
William Shakespeare's play,
Henry IV, part one.
It tells the story of Prince Hal
and his father, Henry the Fourth.
King Henry had doubts about his
son's ability to be a leader.
The play begins during a time
when many forces threatened the
security of King Henry's throne.
A Scottish army has invaded
England from the North,
and rebellion is sweeping the land.
King Henry,
more uneven and unwanted
news came from the North.
Our gallant Hotspur spent a
sad and bloody hour in battle.
But I've had smooth and
welcome news, Westman.
Our troops have defeated 10,000 Scots,
two and twenty nights.
Among his prisoners,
Hotspur took two girls.
Is this not an honorable spoil?
A gallant prize, our cousin, is it not?
In faith.
It is a conquest for
a prince to boast of.
To be the father to so blessed a son.
A son, who is the theme of Honestown?
Oh, that it can be proved that
some night-tripping fairy had
exchanged in cradle clothes,
our children, where they lay,
that I might claim this Hotspur
as my son, instead of Hal.
The king might think he'd
rather have to have him.
Hotspur for a son, but
you never know when
your greatest defender
can become your enemy.
What think you cause of
this young Hotspur's pride?
The prisoners, which he in this adventure
hath chained up, to his own use he keeps,
and sends us word, you shall have none.
While King Henry struggled with rebellion
in the kingdom, his son, Prince Hal,
spent his days out of the
palace and in the streets.
Now, most people probably
didn't think a prince
should be hanging around the common folk,
but Hal liked it that way.
He especially liked to spend time at the
tavern with his pals' Falstaff and points.
Mm-hmm.
Hello. Chicken? Where
have you been on my life?
Fallstaff? You awake?
How?
What's this?
Morning, sunshine.
Now, Prince How?
What time of day is it, lad?
False staff.
Thou art so fat-witted with drinking
and unbuttoning the after supper
and sleeping upon benches afternoon?
What is thou to do with the time of day,
unless hours were cups of
ale and minutes, chickens?
How now?
How, now, mad wag?
Did he just say, wag?
Now, ask the most unsavory similes,
and are indeed the most comparative,
rascariest, sweet young prince.
Poins! Good morrow!
My lads, my lads?
Tomorrow morning, by four
o'clock, early at Gadshill,
there are pilgrims going to
Canterbury with rich offerings
and traders riding to
London with fat purses.
If you will go, I will stuff
your purses full of coins.
I, rob, I, a thief?
Not I, by my faith.
Why, Hal?
Tis my vocation, Hal.
Tis no sin for a man to
labor in his vocation or ha.
I know you all, and will a while
uphold the unyled humor of your idols.
For a prince, can be like the
unyled humor of your idols.
For a prince can be like the same.
The sun, whose light and
warmth belongs to all.
And if the sun is common,
being seen every day,
I too shall be common.
The more to be wanted and wondered at!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
That's it!
I'll shine like the sun!
I'll be a fair and noble king.
Someday.
This is perfect.
Picture of the whole team and the mascot.
So that's what the mascot is.
He's the center of the team.
I hear the bobcats are
picked to win the district.
They have a big team, and they
play a tough man-to-man defense.
We'll really have to
make our shots to win.
I'll be hitting mine.
The question is, will you?
You're not the only
player out there, DeMont.
Oh, red sticks.
Joe, can we get some breadsticks?
Being a mascot really makes you hungry.
So, aren't we gonna pick a captain?
Well, I nominate Joe.
Joe?
I second that.
nomination.
Oh, I third it.
All in favor of Joe?
I hope you can back it up on the court.
You bet he can.
Go Bulldogs.
I hope I don't let you guys down.
Sorry, guys.
It's okay, Joe.
Leaders don't have to be perfect.
Prince Hal wasn't perfect either.
Sometimes, he liked to pull silly.
pranks on his friends.
A moment, good man.
Lead our horses down the hill.
We'll walk off foot a
while and ease our legs.
And he's our legs.
We're standing, sir.
Bacon, that name.
Now could thou and I rob the thieves.
Come, master.
Let us share.
Ah, your money!
Mangey hounds!
Got with much ease!
Now, merrily to town.
Shall we be married.
Mary's crickets, my lad.
Give me a cup of sack and
a beefsteak for my eye.
How now, Wool sack? What mutter you?
The two of us here have
taken a thousand pounds.
Ooh. Where is it?
Where is it? Taken from us, it is.
A hundred upon poor two of us.
What? A hundred, man?
I have escaped by miracle.
Speak, sir. How was it?
As we were sharing some six or
Seven men set upon us.
That it was sixteen, at least, my lord.
What? Fought you with them all?
I know not what you call all.
But if I fought not with fifty
of them, I am a bunch of radish.
Ha, ha ha!
Monstrous!
Fifty men grown out of two.
These lies are like the
man that tells them.
Overblown.
We too set upon you two, and with a word,
I'll face you from your prize.
By the Lord, I knew ye, as
well as he that made ye.
Was it for me to kill the
heir apparent the king to be?
No.
Oh, my sweet beef, I must
still be good angel to thee.
The money is paid back to the travelers.
I do not like that paying back.
It is a double labor.
My lord, I did deny no prisoners.
Hotspur, you tread upon my patience.
For I do see danger and
disobedience in mine eye.
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
Out, madwags. Give us leave.
Dad!
We were just talking about you.
I was saving that you.
I was saving that.
Could such
inordinate
rude society as thou
art matched and grafted
to accompany the greatness of thy blood,
and hold their level
with thy princely heart.
He doesn't think I'm
acting like a prince.
So please, Your Majesty.
I would, I could acquit
myself of all offenses.
It is true. I have faulty
wandered in my youth.
I may yet win your pardon.
God pardoned, not I.
The hope and expectation
of thy time is ruined.
The soul of every man
prophetically do forecast thy fall.
You don't like my friends.
By being seldom seen, I could
not stir but like a comet.
I was marvel at.
That men would tell their
children, ah, this is he.
But thou hast lost lost.
thy princely privilege
with vile participation.
All eyes are a weary
of their common sight.
Save mine, which hath
desired to see thee more.
Hotspur, this Mars and swaddling
clothes, this infant warrior,
shakes the peace and
safety of our throne.
The great warrior Hotspur has
switched sides and joined the rebels?
I shall here after half-sber.
my gracious Lord, be more myself.
Time for the mascot to
practice his jump shot.
See, it's about 10 feet to the basket,
and that's about 9 feet 11 inches
too tall for the cute little dog.
Hello, Carl.
Hey, Dan.
Hi, Mr. Bloodgood.
Hello, everyone.
Looking good.
Joe, congratulations.
I hear you were elected team captain.
Whoa, you must be the
best player on the team.
Not really.
The captain doesn't have to
be the best player, Mark.
It's just the best leader.
Leadership is a special calling.
Leading the people to believe in you,
it's only half the battle.
Leading them to believe in themselves.
That's how victories are won.
I can't wait to see you play.
Sounds like a big day for Joe Talbot.
This is so exciting.
First game of the season.
Just call me mascot.
Look, there's Wishbone.
He's our new mascot.
He fits right in.
Okay, Bulldogs, practice drills!
Joe!
And one for Hank.
Drew, tonight.
And everybody else on the team.
Let's go, boys! Go, go, go, go!
It's all about leadership.
There's Joe!
What are you going to see?
Oh yeah, I better go.
Oh yeah.
Good luck.
Oh, say, does that star
- spangled banner yet wave,
or the land of the free
of the brave.
Okay, and we're ready for the tip-off
between the Sequoia Bulldogs
and the Jefferson Bobcats.
Bulldogs!
Bulldogs!
Bulldogs!
This is the moment of truth,
and the teams are ready for battle!
And so are the king's men.
On the field near Shrewsbury,
they prepare to battle
the rebellious hot tub.
and his soldiers.
Some are ready for the challenge.
Others
Well
Hotspur and his soldiers
and your majesty.
If Hotspur and your unthought
of Hal chance to meet,
the time will come that I
shall make this Northern youth
exchange his glorious deeds for my
indignities.
Now ever lead it to his charge.
God befriend us, as our cause is just.
Joey!
Joey!
Oh, we got
time.
Come!
on.
Fowl on number 32, DeMont Jones.
DeMont Jones.
Go.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm
Yeah.
Bobcats 50, Bulldogs 48.
Well done, men, stand your ground!
Dad?
Dad!
I'm coming!
Prince of Wales!
To the rescue!
Ah!
Ah!
Fossi!
Go!
I think if I play dead, I shall be safe.
I mustake not, thou art Prince Hal.
I am the Prince of Wales.
Think not to share with
me in glory anymore.
Two stars keep not their
motion in one sphere,
nor can one England brook a double reign!
Let me.
Fair thee well, great heart.
What? Old acquaintance!
Could not all this flesh
keep in a little life?
I could have better spared a better man.
Oh, I should have a heavy miss of thee,
if I were much in love with vanity.
Ball Staff has vanquished
the brave horse!
Ballstaff has vanquished
the brave Hotspur.
Why, Hotspur, I killed
myself, and saw thee dead!
Didst thou?
Lord, Lord, how the
world is given to lie.
For my part, if a lie may
do thee grace, I'll gilder
with the happiest terms I have.
I'll let him take the credit.
That's happy enough.
If I'm gonna be leader of this pack,
I've got to be generous.
No one likes a selfish wag.
The day is ours!
Get up, Joe! Get up! Get up!
Your team needs you!
Last touch by Joe Talbot.
Bobcats, time out.
Come on, Talbot. Get with it.
All right. If we get the
ball, call time out. Okay?
Let's like. Let's get
back on defense. Ready?
One, two, three.
Blood off!
Watch for the long outlet pass, okay?
Yes, sir.
Go!
Pull-up! Go! Let's go!
Go! Come on! Let's go!
Go!
Time out!
We're only behind by two points!
Good hassle. Okay, it's up to you. We
can either go for the tie or the win.
What do you think?
Let's go for the win.
Alright, we need a three-pointer then.
There's only six seconds
left on the clock.
I'll set up to month.
No. We're gonna run our motion set.
Whoever gets open first, take the shot.
Let's go.
One, two, three.
Bulldogs!
Demand sings it.
Our Lord's win!
My son!
My son!
My son, thou haste
blood,
Then this remains that
we divide our power.
Our power.
John Lakester, my cousin
Westwelland, toward York.
Myself and you, son,
Hal, will toward Wales.
Rebellion in this land
shall lose its sway.
And in the closing of this glorious day,
I'm bold to tell you that I am your son.
Hey, Joe.
You know, I'm really impressed with
how you handled yourself on the court.
You know, when Joe made
that last pass to DeMont,
showed smart leadership.
I might have taken the shot myself.
Well, I wanted to do what
was right for the team.
and
DeMont was open.
He had the best chance to make the shot.
I'm really proud of you, Joe.
Excuse me, Joe.
So, uh, ladies, how'd you like to
have dinner with the winning mascot?
Hmm?
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh,
Oh.
I'm
Oh,
Oh!
Oh!
