Wishbone (1995) s02e06 Episode Script

What's the story, Wishbone?
What's this your dream in now?
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 our 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?
What's the story, Wishbone?
What's the story, Wishbone?
What's the story?
What's the story?
Wishbone?
What's the story? Wishbone?
Wishbone.
Wishbone?
Wishbone?
Wishbone?
Wishbone?
Oh, my found him!
What I told you?
Wasn't me?
the whole time.
It's okay, Wishbone, come on.
We're gonna go for a ride in the car.
Oh, right in the car, okay.
Have fun.
Wait a minute!
Did you say a ride in the car?
Oh, boy!
I love car rides!
Road trip!
We're going for a ride
in the car, uh-uh, we're
going for a ride in the
car, uh-uh, we're going
for a ride in the car!
I'll do the cooking,
honey, I'll pay the rent.
You know, you've done me.
Oh, Wanda, can you do me a favor?
Sure, Alan.
What do you need?
Oh, thanks, Wanda.
If we wait any longer,
we're gonna be late.
Yeah, Wanda, if we wait any
longer, we're gonna be late.
Late for what, Ellen?
Late for what, Ellen?
Oh, for an appointment at the V-E-T.
The vet!
Oh, no!
Is Wishbone okay?
Oh, yeah, it's just his regular check-up.
Oh, no, no, no, I don't think
I could go to the vet, Ellen.
I feel sick.
Wait a minute, what am I saying?
I'm really sorry, Wanda.
It's just that we're already.
running late and I still
have to stop for gas.
Okay. Thanks.
Wanda! Say something! Say
something! Still for time!
Oh, there's a house
key underneath the mat.
Thanks. Okay.
Ellen!
Wanda! Say something else!
What?
Oh, well, could you let the
upholster in when he gets here?
The chair's all set to go.
Okay. And now so am I.
See ya.
Wanda, help me.
Oh, Ellen, how could you do this?
I thought you were my friend.
But you're acting like an enemy.
This is so confusing.
Just like the Wars of the Roses!
Robert Louis Stevenson
used this war as the
backdrop for his novel,
The Black Arrow, published
in 1888.
The story is set in 15th
century England, when
the two royal houses of
York and Lancaster were
war. In these troubled
times, many found it
difficult to know who was trustworthy and
who wasn't. Young Richard
Shelton, the hero of
our story, had lost his
father and came under
the care of a man named
Sir Daniel. Richard's
new guardian switched
sides in the war as often
as a chameleon changes
color. Was he to be trusted?
One group of people claimed
to know his true colors.
The order of the black arrow.
Sir Daniel had turned them out of
their homes and had stolen their land.
So they banded it together
and were determined
to make Sir Daniel pay for his treachery.
I had four black arrows under my belt.
Four for the griefs that I have felt.
Richard Shelton, did you
read this penny rhyme?
Yes, a bit of dog roll it is.
That's nonsense first, by the way.
The most fun form of
poetry, don't you think?
Fun.
Not when some mad soul
accuses me of murder.
The murder of your father, to be precise.
We suspect Duckworth,
that black arrow outlaw.
This is a little confusing.
It says here,
Ye shall each have your own part,
a black arrow in each black heart.
You accuse them, and yet
they're accusing you.
As your guardian, Richard, I will myself
more fully inform you of these matters.
Someday.
Hmm, someday.
It's hard not knowing who to trust,
but Richard Shelton was about to meet
someone who would change his life.
You there!
Have no fear, I will do
all I can to help thee.
Good boy.
Thank you.
Why call me boy as if I were a dog?
You are not the elder of us.
Really forgive me, but
I do seek your aid.
Then throw me the rope.
Then throw me the rope.
You call that a throw?
May my grandmother could throw farther.
What is your name?
What are you going?
Well, do you barge yourself down
often, or is this the first time?
Since you have things
under control here
Please help.
If I come not to Holywood,
I shall be undone.
If you throw not the
rope, you shall be undone.
That's more like it.
You saved my life.
You saved my life.
I'm cold.
I'm cold.
John, Matcham.
I'm Richard Shelton.
I can show you the way to Holywood.
I thank you, Richard Shelton.
What age are you? Sixteen?
Nay. I am 18.
You're poorly grown to height then.
And you have a girlish hand, John.
Why are you bound for Hollywood, of
all places? Isn't that a convent?
I seek sanctuary from a
man who would oppress me.
Sir Daniel.
He has kidnapped me and
dressed me in these weeds.
Sir Daniel?
Sir Daniel is a valiant knight.
If he knew I meddled in your
flight, it would go soar with me.
I'm his ward.
Poor boy.
I too am now his ward.
He has money to gain by my marriage.
I'll show him.
I'm not a bubble to be sold.
You dare to call me boy again.
They have found my flight.
I shall be taken.
Richard, kind Richard.
Help me.
Come, pick up your
nerves, sir, whiteface.
Let's go see who it is
before we call them enemy.
Come on in.
She didn't really tell me which chair.
Did she tell you which
chair she was talking about?
It could be that one, but I'm
not really sure if that
Well
Well
Well, that's a terrible
place for that chair.
Someone could get hurt.
That must be the one.
They let the dog sleep in that one.
Oh, I just hate going to the V-E-T.
I better get an S-H-O-T.
Whoa!
Did you see the size of that rat?
Joe, did you see that?
Joe!
Oh, hi, Bruno.
Shoot up any good minivans lately?
Is that?
My chair!
That's my chair!
Hey!
They've got my chair!
Joe!
Take it easy, Wishbone.
It's just a checkup.
Take it easy.
Ellen!
Ellen!
Ellen!
My chair! Bruno has my chair!
Put the squeegee!
Down!
Oh, I can't believe this!
Bailout!
Don't worry, my wonderful chair!
I'm coming!
Look to Sir Daniel's
men. These are friends.
Wait! These are the men that hunt
me to my ruin. You can't trust them!
What?
It's the men of the Black Arrow!
I must go help my friends!
Are you bound to die?
If I cannot help them, then yes,
I will stand shot with them.
Oh!
Oh, shit!
Hey! That's my dagger!
Get that back!
Stop!
You are an untrue
companion, John Matcham!
You would see all those men die, men I
have hunted with and played among them.
What have Sir Daniel?
Would you run to defend a murderer?
Rumors say Sir Daniel slew your father!
My father would have me defend my men.
If Sir Daniel slew him, when the hour
comes, my hand will slay Sir Daniel.
Until then, I am bound by
honor to stand with my friends!
If you are bound to stand,
then I will stand with you.
Well, all right, then.
Thank you.
Ah! I see you've captured the fugitive.
Fugitive?
Fugitive.
Come! We must leave here at once.
Indeed. I have some questions
for my guardian, Sir Daniel.
Gotta find my chair. Gotta find my chair.
Where's my chair?
Got to find my chair!
I got to find my chair! I got to find my chair.
Chewy.
Gotta find my chair.
Ah ha!
This tire track has Bruno
written all over it.
When I find him, I'm gonna
Ew, it's the big rat again!
What kind of weird rat
behavior is it, anyway?
Hey, too much sugar in your diet?
Great! Bruno's stolen my chair!
And now Oakdale's been
invaded by mutant rats!
Oh, where's the fire, Talbot?
Cool, a fire. My dad's a fireman.
Your dad's an accountant for me.
Uh, he used to be a fireman
before we moved here.
You know, although the forest
fires and yellow fire
Whatever.
What's up?
Wishbone took off.
I need to find him, but
we'll be late for the vet.
I have a dog, too.
That's nice, Jimmy.
Wishbone!
I'm good to hunting.
My dad taught me. He's a hunter.
I thought your dad was an accountant.
Uh, yeah, that too.
He hunted big game, in Africa.
You know, tigers and elephants.
Wishbone!
It's illegal to hunt elephants.
Uh, well, that's where he had to see.
Stop!
Wishbone!
My dog's a tracker.
Maybe he can help find Wishbone.
He's big and smart,
and he has a good nose.
He's ten times a size of Wishbone.
Running! Running! Running!
Winning
Sneaking, sneaking quietly,
trying not to make too much noise.
He's really big. His name's
King, and he's related to Lassie.
Wishbone!
Quit that!
I'm serious. It's really big.
Wait till you'll see him.
Chair!
It's definitely my
favorite perch, all right!
Hey! Wait! Come back!
Here we go again!
I burnt their homes, driven them
from this country, and still
They returned to ruin me.
And you.
Let's see how far you run
with that drawbridge raised.
Get out of my sight!
Good men have lost their lives
because of your disobedience.
Good men have lost their lives
because of your disobedience.
Sir, my father fell
when I was yet a child.
Again, it has come to my ears
that he was fouly done by,
and again that you had
a hand in his death.
Come to me with these
words when you are grown,
and I am no longer your guardian.
Until then,
You have two choices.
Either swallow down these insults.
Or else, leave my protection.
The woods are full of my enemies. Go.
I will stay.
You have stirred my
wrath, Richard Sheldon.
Return to your quarters
until I send for you.
I'm utterly confused.
I'm utterly confused.
Is my enemy here in the moat
house or outside its walls?
Who is it?
Richard, it is I.
John?
This house is full of spies.
I have heard them whisper.
Sir Daniel intends to kill you
just as he killed your father.
It would seem that you are the
only friend I have, John Matcham.
Swift, Richard, you must escape.
We'll climb down the wall.
I know you're in there, Joanna.
Why? You're not a John!
You're a Joanna.
Come, I'll lower you down the wall.
They plan to kill you, not me.
Richard, open the door, man.
Joanna, you have saved my
life, and I have saved yours.
We have seen blood flow and
been friends and enemies.
And if I'm about to die, I must say this.
You are the best made in
the bravest under heaven.
And if I live, I will marry you.
I will be back, Joanna.
Huh?
Oh!
Let me.
No.
No.
Get him now!
Okay, time for the diplomatic approach.
Excuse me, sir, but you and your dog
have something that belongs to me.
And I was wondering if we
could just talk about
Hey!
Hey!
Wait a minute!
I don't like in closed spaces!
Hey!
Oh!
I can't believe that!
I can't believe that!
Ellen! Can you help a guy out!
Wishbone, how did you ever get in here?
We have to go to
Oh, never gonna find my chair!
Come on, Wishbone. It won't be that bad.
Joe, I can't stay!
I'm so sorry we're late.
Oh, we're accustomed
to resistant patients.
Yo, my chair!
Oh! Could you have your
mother fill this out, please?
Joe, I really have your
mother fill this out, please.
Joe, I really have a little.
a reason for not wanting
to be here this time.
I promise.
My dad and I tracked
the ride of wolf once.
He was foaming at the mouth,
and his eyes were wild.
He was so mad.
It's okay. You like Dr. Dart, remember?
That's not the issue!
I love my red chair!
Stay, Wishbone.
I shouldn't be here.
This is just like what
happened to Richard Shelton.
When Richard awoke, he found
himself in a strange place.
What am I?
The order of the Black Arrow.
This must be their camp.
Ellis Duckworth?
Have I been captured?
Dear lad, you are in
a friend's hands that
loved your father and
loves you for his sake.
Come, tell me your story.
The leap from the Motehouse
wall must have injured me.
I believe I fainted,
and then I woke here.
So it's true.
Sir Daniel killed my father.
Join me in the next attack.
Between you and me, we shall bring their
false-hearted traitor to his death.
My heart aches for Joanna.
Rescue Joanna as soon as
we've gotten our revenge.
Nay, as much as I miss my
father and dislike his murderer,
Joanna is more important
to me than revenge.
I wish you luck, Ellis Duckworth.
The Wars of the Roses
had reached the Moathouse
by the time Richard arrived.
Whoops!
Hello.
Oh, hi there.
Uh-oh.
Are you not Richard
Shelton, Sir Daniel's Ward?
Maybe.
Men call me Lord Foxham.
I am Joanna Sedley's guard.
I am Joanna Sedley's guard.
guardian. I am trying to
free her from Sir Daniel.
Then, my lord, you are true guardian
to the sweetest made in England.
You wear your heart on
your sleeve, my lad.
I pray you, my lord, yield
me the hand of Joanna Sedley,
and you will have my gratitude
in service until I die.
All right, good Richard.
Come fight by my side, and upon my
knightly honor, Joanna shall marry you.
I am in your debt, my lord.
I am not nervous.
I am not nervous.
I am not nervous.
I'm a little nervous.
It's okay, Wishbone.
Well, hello, Wishbone.
How are you today?
Perfectly healthy, thank you.
What's he got the needle?
All right, big fella.
We're gonna listen to your heartbeat.
Okay, I just
Whoa! Hey!
I think you could warm
that thing up first, Doc?
Yikes.
What's that?
Is he
What's he
Hey?
Uh, look, I'm sure there's a lot of
interesting stuff going on in there, Doc,
but there is the small
matter of my chair.
Sears look good.
Looks like all he needs is a yearly shot.
He really doesn't like this part.
I really hate this part!
The needle!
Oh!
Look, isn't there some
way we can avoid this?
I promise I won't go near
anyone who has rabies.
I know I'll never go outside ever again!
Just please don't give me a shot!
There, not one flinch.
See, that wasn't that bad.
Huh?
He already did the
See ya next year, Wishbone.
Wow!
I didn't feel a thing!
I really didn't!
I'm no longer Wishbone!
I'm
Superbone!
Dog of Steel!
Well, I'd love to stay in chat, Doc.
But Superbone is off to fight for truth.
Justice!
and his big red chair!
Inside Sir Daniel's Motehouse,
The battle to rescue Joanna was underway.
That's it, men!
We have the upper hand!
Uh-oh.
Kind of even the odds a little bit.
Yep.
Ooh, dizzy!
Joanna!
Whatcha!
Ha-ha!
Hey, smiling!
You want to play too?
Richard!
Joanna, Lord Foxham has the battle won.
Let's leave this place!
Oh!
Oh, Richard!
Oh, Richard!
Here we are together once again.
Joanna, let's go directly to Holywood.
There we shall be wed.
Whether poor or wealthy, famous
or unknown, what matters it?
Richard, my dear.
Ah, it's just you and me
and that peasant over there.
Wait a minute.
That's no peasant!
You!
No, sir!
Well, Richard,
do you make war upon the fallen?
You killed my father, and
that cannot be forgotten.
But I won't hurt you.
I'll be neither judge nor hangman.
I do carry arms for your enemies,
and I will suffer no
spy within their lines.
Go now, before I call
out to the nearest post.
Is the arrow black?
It is black?
and pardoned. I took the worse, and
there lies the clay of mine enemy.
Pray for me.
Sir, I will pray for you indeed.
But if you have so long pursued revenge,
and find it now of such a sorry flavour,
would you not do well to pardon others?
Anger still lives strong within me.
But be at rest.
The black arrow for me.
The black arrow for me.
flies, never more.
The fellowship is broken.
They that still live shall come
to their quiet and ripe end.
Well, that didn't take long, wishbone.
Thank you, Mrs. Talbot.
I'll get my backpack.
My dog's not afraid of anything.
He's an attack dog.
Come on, Joe.
We have to rescue my chair.
He was trying to break
into her house and he
wanted to steal all of
our priceless jewels.
And my dog, Jason.
Hi, Mrs. Kid.
Mom?
Hi, Tinky.
Woo!
That's your dog?
That's no dog. It's one
of the giant mutant rats.
Jimmy, I can't believe
your mom caught it.
Tell her to be careful.
He may have friends.
Runo!
If he's here, my chair's here!
Come on, Joe!
Mom?
Is that our chair?
Of course, it's my chair.
I'm gonna put a big sign on this name.
Do not ever take
Wishbone's big red chair.
I guess Wanda sent the wrong one.
I'm so sorry, Wishbone.
Sorry, Wishbone.
Don't worry.
We'll get this mixed up straightened out.
From now on, this chair is off
limits to all big, mean Dobermans,
and little bug-eyed mutant rats and cats.
And cats.
Anything else on four legs that's not me
doesn't go on this chair ever.
Robert Louis Stevenson's
book, The Black Arrow,
is action-packed.
And that took a pack of dogs.
Just like human actors,
I have stunt doubles
who bound into action
with their special skills.
Here's Phoebe.
She's an expert swimmer.
Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on my God.
Bear is eager to jump into any task.
Scale new heights!
And leap for a good cause!
Right loud!
Right here!
Slugger springs into
action for a battle scene!
And Shiner is kind of a ham,
so he sits in for me when
I'm filming on another set.
Sucker Kong!
Sucer Kong!
I couldn't do the show without
my talented stunt doubles.
And I still add my own best tricks,
like rescuing someone from the bog.
After all, I am the Stux.
See ya!
