This is the transcript for the cutscenes in Minnesota Cuke and the Coconut Apes.
Transcript
Intro
- (Larry is in a plane, talking to Bob through video chat.)
- Larry: I've got it, Bob! The fabled Crock of Hookie Balookie! They said it couldn't be found, but no challenge is too great for Minnesota Cuke!
- Bob: That's great, Larry!
- Larry: Uh, Bob, I prefer Minnesota.
- Bob: Uh, right, Minnesota. Anyway, hurry back to the museum. I can't wait to get that kettle cleaned up and added to our new exhibit of ancient appliances from the Amazon!
- Larry: I'm already testing her out to make sure she's in top working condition.
- Bob: ...uhhhh, what exactly do you mean by "testing her out"?
- Larry: Well, I figured there's no sense wasting time on the easy stuff. I went right to Aunt Ruth's famous green bean garlic goulash!
- Bob: Larry, are you cooking a potluck dish in the ancient Crock of Hookie Balookie?!
- Larry: (ahem) It's Minnesota, and yes! I was thinking this goulash might be nice for the church salsa tomorrow night.
- Bob: Larry, that's a rare and valuable archaeological relic! You do not cook a goulash dinner in it!! And besides, if you're busy ruining the Crock of Hookie Balookie, who's flying the plane?
- Larry: ...flying?...the plane?....FLYING THE PLANE!! AAAAHHHH!! I'm going down, Bob!! Is this the end of Minnesota Cuke?! Oh, cruelest fate!
- Bob: Larry, you're gonna have to jump! Grab a parachute and get out of there!
- (Larry is ejected from the plane.)
- Larry: WEEEEE!!! Wow, what a view! You're really missing out, Bob, I think I can see my house from here!
- Bob: Focus, Larry. When you land, you'll need to find the plane and get back the Crock of Hookie Balookie if it's still in one piece.
- Larry: You got it, Bob, Minnesota Cuke is on the job! I'll find that ancient cooking aid and have it back to the museum in time to make you the best goulash dinner you ever had!
- Bob: (annoyed) Larry...
Cutscene #1
- Bob: Hello?
- (Larry is once again talking to Bob through video chat, and is standing in front of his destroyed plane.)
- Larry: Bob, I found the plane, but there's no trace of the Crock of Hookie Balookie.
- Bob: Oh no, it's lost forever!
- Larry: I don't think so, Bob. There's some of my Aunt Ruth's goulash spilled on the ground around here, and it's still warm. Whoever took that pot can't be that far off.
- Bob: Hmm..our global positioning satellite shows me that you're near the village of the Pea Natives. Maybe one of the peas has the Crock.
- Larry: Don't worry, Bob. Minnesota Cuke is on the trail!
- Bob: You've gotta find it, Larry! It's a priceless artifact!
Cutscene #2
- Bob: This is Bob.
- (Larry is at the edge of the Pea Village.)
- Larry: Hi Bob. Minnesota here, I've got some news.
- Bob: Great, Larry! Did you find the Crock of Hookie Balookie? Did the peas have it?
- Larry: No and no. It looks like the Pea Natives didn't take it after all. I think the monkeys have it.
- Bob: Monkeys? What kind of monkeys would be interested in ancient cooking appliances?
- Larry: Well, he looked like a really big monkey...and hungry.
- Bob: A really big monkey, huh? Well, I'll do some research and see what I can dig up on the primates in that area. Larry, you find that monkey!
- Larry: It's Minnesota, and I'm on it!
Cutscene #3
- Bob: Bob's Old Museum and Candy Shop. Bob speaking.
- (Larry is standing outside a cave.)
- Larry: Bob, it's Minnesota Cuke. I'm hot on the trail of that monkey thief, he just ducked into the caves.
- Bob: That's great, Larry! I did some research and found out about those big monkeys. They're called the Coconut Apes, and they've been stealing from the Pea Natives for years!
- Larry: No wonder those peas were so ornery.
- Bob: But the real question is who's behind it all? Somebody must've trained those apes to take things from other people. Somebody who doesn't know right from wrong.
- Larry: That's awful, training those poor monkeys to steal!
- Bob: Well Larry, if you find that Crock, you'll find the mastermind behind the Coconut Apes!
- Larry: Will do, Bob! It takes a lot more than some dark caves to scare off Minnesota Cuke!
Cutscene #4
- Bob: This is Bob. How may I direct your call?
- (Larry is standing outside some ruins.)
- Larry: Bob, it's Minnesota Cuke, and I've got some big news to report! I've found the entrance to some ancient ruins!
- Bob: Good job, Larry! I did some research on those caves, and they lead right to the hidden realm of the Coconut Apes! You're close to finding the real thief.
- Larry: The real thief? I thought the coconut ape was the thief!
- Bob: No, Larry, the real thief is whoever trained those monkeys to steal for him. My research indicates that the apes have a reclusive leader living deep in the heart of those ruins! He goes by the name of Jungle Jimmy, and has been using the Coconut Apes to steal for years!
- Larry: I bet he's got the Crock of Hookie Balookie then! I'll find him and the crock!....and the rest of my goulash.
- Bob: Be careful, Larry. It's rumored that Jungle Jimmy has never been bested. Getting that kettle back might be harder than you think.
- Larry: Fear not, Bob! Minnesota Cuke isn't afraid of a little danger, it promotes good posture!
Cutscene #5
- (Larry is confronting Jungle Jimmy, who is wearing the Crock on his head, in the heart of the ruins.)
- Jimmy: Who goes there?!
- Larry: I'm Minnesota Cuke, and I've come for the Crock of Hookie Balookie!
- Jimmy: The who-of-a-Hookie-whatsit?
- Larry: You know what I'm talking about, and I know who you are! I can see the Crock right there on your head!
- Jimmy: Oh, you mean my new crown, heh. Every jungle king needs a crown, y'know, and this one fits me just perfect.
- Larry: That's no crown, that's a lost ancient relic, and I'm here to reclaim it. It belongs in a museum!
- Jimmy: Ha! Reclaim it?! It's mine now! I live by the ancient rule of the jungle, "He who is the finder is the keeper", and I've had my apes out lookin' for a fancy hat for me. I'mma keepin' it!
- Larry: But that's stealing! When you steal, you hurt other people. It's not right to take things that don't belong to you. That's one of God's important rules, and it applies even out here in the jungle.
- Jimmy: Well, the only way I'm giving this fancy hat back is if you can beat me in a challenge of skill and cunning!
- Larry: You're missing the point...but I guess it's better than nothing. You're on!
Game Over
- (This only plays when you've lost Jungle Jimmy's challenge.)
- Jimmy: Ha, ha! I'm still the king of this jungle! You wanna try again?
Ending
- (Larry has just beaten Jungle Jimmy at his challenge.)
- Jimmy: Wow, I can't believe you beat me! No one has ever beaten me at climbing, not even the Coconut Apes, and they were born in the trees. You've won back your fancy hat! (hands Larry the Crock)
- Larry: The museum will be glad to have it back, even if Bob won't let me cook goulash in it.
- Jimmy: But now, I don't have a hat! Every good leader needs a fancy hat! Where am I gonna find a new one?!
- Larry: Hey, if it's a fancy hat you want, you can have mine! It's a gift from me to you, and you don't have to steal it (hands Jungle Jimmy his fedora).
- Jimmy: A gift? Wow, I've never gotten a gift before, and this hat is much more comfortable! (puts on fedora) Hey, making friends with people works out a lot better than stealing from them!
- Larry: God wants us to be nice to each other, to share and give gifts, not steal.
- Jimmy: Y'know what? From now on, I'm gonna make friends with my neighbors, and I'm gonna give back all the stuff I've stolen! Thank you, brave cucumber, for showing me that God's way is the best way!
- Larry: No problem. Just another day at the office for Minnesota Cuke!
