VeggieTales: Esther: The Girl Who Became Queen Page #3

Season #2 Episode #14

---

(The crowd cheers and bright lights flash around Esther, with her picture being taken as a tiara is place on her head. Then we fade back to the balcony of the tower. Although Esther won, she still feels down and takes off her tiara.)

Mordecai (While climbing): Essie, Essie. I just heard the news. You're the queen of all... Persia.

Esther (Depressed): Yep.

Mordecai:
Well, you gotta be at least a little excited.

Esther (Depressed): Nobody even asked me if I wanted to be queen.

Mordecai:
Oh, Essie. You always did have a mind of your own. I always liked that about you! Oh, don't worry. There must be a reason. But hey, tomorrow you'll be introduced for the court. That'll be fun. (Pa Grape/Mordecai heads back to the vines and starts to climb down.) Oh, get some rest, Queen Esther. My cousin, queen of Persia. Who knew?

Esther (Calling from above): Mordecai, the king. What's he like?

Mordecai (Calling from below): Oh, he's sharp, real sharp. I think you're really gonna like him!

(The scene cuts to King Xerxes using his mirror while he smiles.)

King Xerxes:
Do you think she's gonna like me?

Haman:
Oh, you bet she will. You're the king. Everybody likes you, under penalty of death.

King Xerxes:
Well yeah, but... you know, even if I weren't the king -- say I was one of those guys who cleans up after the camels or a lawyer or somethin'? Do you still think?

Haman:
No doubt about it. You're big and strong, charming, handsome, why, any girl in the whole kingdom would be happy to make you a sandwich, king or no king.

(While Haman is talking, Jean-Claude Pea/Bigthen Peaoni peeks in through the doors, and we then see a trap he and his brother have set for the king: A piano is hanging from a rope which stretches from two pulleys, and is being held by his brother, Phillipe Pea/Teresh Peaoni. The camera pans back to the throne.)

King Xerxes:
You really think so?

Haman:
Oh, I know so.

King Xerxes:
Well, all right then. Bring her in.

(Mr. Lunt/Haman leaves to get Esther. The king's scribe, played by Larry, is writing stuff down on a scroll. Mr. Nezzer/King Xerxes looks at himself in the mirror again, and polishes his breath, then breathes on the mirror, the smiles again. When he puts down the mirror, he notices Jean-Claude/Bigthen, and yells in surprise.)

Jean-Claude/Bigthen: Hello king!

King Xerxes:
Who are you?

Bigthen:
I am Bigthen, your royal chef.

King Xerxes:
Well... what are you doin' here? I don't remember invitin'...

Bigthen:
Every newlywed needs a cake, no?
