Superbook (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Jacob and Esau - full transcript
Chris, I have
the enemy in sight.
Eighteen degrees by four degrees
factored by the distance of
the backyard times pi
plus a factor of eight.
Aaaa!
You're all wet, Joy!
Haha!
Launching counter-offensive!
You got nowhere to hide, Chris!
Cover me, Giz! I'm cutting
off her ammo supply!
Aye-Aye... YIIIII!!!
Ha!
Ha ha ha! Get ready for
a full-on assault, Giz!
Chris, my guidance system
seems to be malfunctioning!
Don't worry, Giz. I just need
to recalibrate here
Whoa-oa!
Giz!!
Gizmo's motherboard is never
supposed to get wet!
Look at him. He's
totally spazzing!
Hoo hoo! Whoo-oo ha-aaa!

Hello, Joy. Hello, Joy.
Hello, Joy.
Thank goodness he's all right.
You'd better take him inside and
have your dad run
a full diagnostic.
Come on, Giz.
I... live with Joy. Her
home... is my home.
No, Giz! Home is this way.
Help! Chris is
trying to steal me!
I am not your robot.
I am Joy's robot!
Oof!
You totally warped his
memory sector, Joy!
He thinks he's yours!
Chris, I'm really sorry.
It was an accident.
Please forgive me.
I'll never forgive you
for this, Joy.
Superbook!
Whoa-oa!
I am taking you
to meet twin brothers,
for whom forgiveness
seemed impossible.
Great! Who knows
where we are now?!
And Gizmo's on the fritz!
This is all your fault, Joy!
We could be in some serious
trouble if anything happens.
Me?! I didn't do this!
Superbook took us here!
Where are we, Giz?
If you can even tell us.
No. I cannot tell YOU... but I
CAN tell Joy where we are.
My geo-sensors indicate we are
in the Negev Desert
in Southern Israel.
That's in the Middle East for
the geographically challenged.
Around 3800 years ago. And now,
my telescopic zoom will...
Uh oh! Two boys coming
this way in a hurry!
Come on, keep up little brother!
I've got you now!
Watch it!
Here it comes!
Just you try!
Who are they?
And where are they
going in such a hurry?
And more importantly...
why are they
coming back so sooooon?!!
Cheater!
Out of my way, Esau!
I won, Jacob.
Look what you did now, Esau.
Well, you tried to
cheat me, Jacob.
Well, you elbowed me.
Actually, I think you won,
uh, Jacob, is it?
Wrong, Chris! It was Esau!
I saw his hand reach
the rock first!
Don't listen to
anything she says.
I don't listen to girls.
Ha! You listen to Mother.
You are a soft and hairless
mama's boy, after all.
Take that back!
Why? It's true.
I said take it back.
Make me.
Enough.
Esau, my son,
I declare you the winner.
Though they were born mere
minutes apart, Esau was first.
Jacob is also a wonderful son.
But Esau has my birthright.
What's a birthright?
How can you not know
what a birthright is?
Oh Joy, wait for me!!
The firstborn son
always inherits
twice as much as any other son.
And will rule the family.
I see! He has more
authority over you,
the same way Joy has more
authority over me than Chris.
And ours is a blessed family.
The Lord spoke to my
father, Abraham, years ago
and told him to look up
into the sky...
We've heard this story
many times, Father.
The Lord said to Abraham:
"Look up into the sky and
count the stars if you can.
That's how many
descendants you will have!"
Wow. That's one BIG family.
And, as first born,
all that God has said will be
answered in you, Esau.
Now, perhaps your friends will
stay with us for dinner.
Go. Hunt us some fine
game for the stew.
I can hunt too, father.
I know, Jacob. But your
knee looks injured.
Besides, you are mild...
Comfortable dwelling in tents...
And suited for other things.
Now, to the hunt, Esau,
before this storm is upon us.
Yes, father.
I'm going with Esau.
I am going with Joy.
Good!! Go.
But mother, he just
seems to like Esau better.
He loves you, Jacob.
Only he doesn't understand,
the Lord favors you.
You are the chosen one - chosen
one day to lead a great nation.
But Esau has the birthright.
Isn't HE destined to
be the leader?
The Lord God wills that Jacob
should have the birthright.
And the time draws near.
Long ago, when I carried
both Jacob and Esau,
they would struggle within me,
kicking and fighting.
Oh, it was such a battle.
And it worried me so, that I
prayed for a reason from God.
Lord, if all is well, why do I
feel a struggle within me?
The sons in your womb will
become two nations.
From the very beginning the
two nations will be rivals.
One nation will be
stronger than the other
and your older son
will serve your younger son.
Jacob, you are the younger,
of whom the Lord spoke.
Esau will one day serve you.
You were wise coming with me.
I can show you
secrets of the hunt.
Another mild tent dweller.
You should have gone
with Jacob after all.
Maybe we should go back, huh?
Very well.
I am starving.
And there's no hunting in this.
Father will be so disappointed.
This is great, Jacob.
Who needs to be a hunter
when you can cook, huh?
If I'd been able to go
hunting today,
I could have proved
myself to Father.
Eeee! Brrrr!
Stop! Wait! It's only us!
Oh, you are quite
the hunter, Jacob.
Can you not even tell a
two legged beast
from one with four?
I'm starved! Give me some
of that red stew!
This stew? Give me your
inheritance, brother.
Sell me your birthright.
I am about to die from
hunger. Give me the stew.
Give me your inheritance,
brother.
Sell me your birthright
for this bowl of hearty stew.
Give it to me!
What's he doing?
Give me your inheritance,
brother.
Sell me your birthright
as the first-born son.
Ohhh, I am about to die. What
good will those rights do me?
Promise me your birthrights,
here and now!
Birthright. Birthright!
I swear you may have my
birthright. There!
Now... give me
the stew, brother!
Thank you, dear brother.
It's Superbook. Come on.
I will not go with you. I am
Joy's robot and I...
Not now, Giz!
What you have
witnessed is only the beginning
of a great divide between
these brothers.
Now where are we?
My geo-sensors indicate we are
in a place called Haran.
But it is quite some time later.
Let me get a reading on...
I still do not believe you!
My mother told me
for my own safety,
I should come here to live!
Is that Jacob?!
And I have taken nothing
from your family
that was not given me.
Yeah, and if he remembers us,
he's gonna have more questions
than we have answers.
We need to disguise ourselves!
I will protect us, Joy.
Here, put these on.
These are for Joy.
Guys! Keep it down!
You! Did Laban's sons
tell you to spy on me?
We didn't mean to eavesdrop.
We're harmless... really.
Well... Don't just sit there.
Clean up this mess.
Wow, that's some
grouchy behavior.
I know just how to help his
bad mood.
Get into these outfits.
Ahh, now that smells great.
Ahhh... Stew. Just the way his
mother used to make it
when he was a boy.
We thought you might be hungry.
Huh? Oh...
I have no appetite.
But I apologize for
being so disagreeable with you.
What's wrong, Jacob?
Last night God came
to me in a dream.
He said, "Jacob, go back
to your relatives
in the land of your ancestors,
and I will bless you."
I only hope my brother, Esau,
does not still bear a grudge
for what I did, many years ago.
You could ask him
to forgive you.
I mean, no matter what
someone does,
if they're truly sorry
they should be forgiven, right?
I do not know.
Years ago, I tricked my father
into giving me my
brother's blessing.
Is forgiveness even
possible for such a deed?
Isaac said he will
bless Esau before his death.
But you must go to him
and receive that blessing.
And you shall,
if you do as I say.
My brother Esau is a hairy man,
and I am not.
If my father touches me
and realizes I am
trying to trick him,
he will put a curse on me
instead of giving me a blessing.
Let his curse fall on me!
So I did as my mother bid.
W-Which one of my sons are you?
I am Esau, your first-born,
and I have done
what you told me.
Please sit up and eat the
meat I have brought.
Then you can give me
your blessing.
Come closer so I can touch you
and make sure that
you really are Esau.
The voice is Jacob's, but
the hands are Esau's.
Please come a little closer
and kiss me, my son.
Surely, the smell of my son is
like the smell of a field
which the LORD has blessed.
And so, my father
gave ME his blessing,
the blessing that belonged
to Esau as his firstborn.
What did Esau do
when he found out?
He said he would
never forgive me
and that he wanted to kill me.
Wow. Even I'm
not THAT mad.
My mother and father sent me
here to stay with my uncle Laban
until Esau's fury turned away.
The time to face my past
is drawing near.
When I see him, I shall
offer Esau gifts of peace,
that he may finally forgive me.
Did the servants do
as I instructed
and take the gifts ahead
to my brother, Esau?
Master, your brother awaits
with more than four hundred men!
I feared he would
still be angry.
Hey, guys, get out here!
Do you hear that?
It sounds like fighting.
Probably Esau come
to get even with Jacob.
It's coming from over that rise.
Who are they?
Let me go, for the day breaks.
I will not let You go
unless You bless me.
What is your name?
Jacob.
Your name shall no longer
be called Jacob, but Israel;
for you have struggled with God
and with men and have prevailed.
Joy. That's... God!
Jacob wrestled God!
Jacob...
what happened here?
I will call this place Peniel,
for I have seen God
face-to-face,
yet my life has been spared.
I have wrestled with God.
I am now ready to go meet Esau.
Poor Jacob. He
doesn't stand a chance.
Sometimes asking forgiveness
is the hardest thing of all.
I sure hope Jacob knows
what he's doing.
M-m-maybe instead
of forgiveness,
Jacob should ask for an army
the size of Esau's!
I can't look! Okay, just a peek.
No! Better not! Ohhh-hoo-hooo!
Jacob, my brother!
What's going on?
Is Jacob bowing?
Yes, seven times.
That custom shows a deep sign
of reverence to his brother.
Joy?
Yeah?
If Esau could
forgive his brother
after all he did to him...
I... think I can forgive you for
a silly accident with Gizmo.
Really, Chris?
Really. I forgive you. And I
hope you'll forgive me
for being so... I don't
know... so mean to you.
It's not like I've never
done something wrong.
Forgiven?
Forgiven.
It is good to have
you back, brother.
Great idea, using these solar
fans your dad invented
to dry Gizmo's circuits.
Now, let's test 'em.
Gotcha. See you later, Gizmo,
I've gotta go home.
Okay, Joy. Good-bye.
Come on, Chris. Last one
back to the lab is a rotten egg!
Who-hoo! Awright!
I'm glad things are back
to normal around here.
Me, too. And no more
water fights.
Ohhhh!
Hello, Dog. Hello, Dog.
Hello, Dog.
No, no, no, no, noooo, Gizmo.
That dog's not your master!
Come back.
Master! Master!
Wait for me, Master.
