Superbook (2011–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - The Fiery Furnace! - full transcript

AAhhh!!!! GIZ!!!
I'M LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!

Whoaaa!

You gotta find my books!
Pack my bag! And I'll...

Whoah...
Yaaa!

Now, if I were Chris' books,
where would I hide?

Woah!
That's not a book!

- Got 'em?
- Yes.

You just need pencils, a ruler,
your calculator,

a note pad,
this protractor and...

- Hi, Chris.
- Hey, Chris.

Uh, hey Mitch, Jay, what do
you guys need? I'm late.



Did you study?

Study for what?
The test.

TEST?!

ARGGHH!! GIZ!!! GIZ!! OPEN, OPEN, OPEN!!!

Owww...

Did you say 'Test'?

That is correct, Chris.

Your science test on
levers and fulcrums.

Guys, I had band practice.
I forgot.

Fulcrums are like seesaws.
Of course...

Man, if I don't geta passing grade

I can't go to the
amusementpark with the class.

Oh, Chris, you are right.

And the amusement park
just installed



the most extreme new
roller coaster ever:

SCREAMIIING THUNDEEEER!!!

- Sweet!
- Awesome!

I gotta ride Screaming Thunder!

But how am I gonna pass
that test? Any ideas?

Well, Todd sent this. You
might want to check it out.

And, Giz, not a word of
this to... Joy?

Jooooyyyy!

Chris Quantum, that's cheating.

You get caught, nobody
can help you.

Not me, not your parents.
NOT EVEN THE TEACHER!!!

Look! I forgot to study. I
wanna go to the amusement park,

but I can't unless
I pass the test.

As your friend...
Joy, quit it!

SUPERBOOK!

Hey! I wonder if time
travelcounts as an excuse?

Very funny, Chris.

Whoooaaaah!

I am taking you back
in time to meet three men

who chose to obey God,

even in the face of
great personal danger.

Aaaa! Oof!

It's all mine now, Chris.
I win!

Joy, you better
give me my phone.

I'm telling you,
I need it... huh?

It sounds like someone
else is fighting, too.

Now look what you two started!

We're not children!

- Oh no!
- Whoa!

You see, I was right,
you are courageous.

Yes, youmake a good point

even if it ishard on my head...

and our guests?

We have guests?

I am Meshach,
this is Shadrachand this is Abednego.

I'm Joy. This is Chris, and Gizmo.

We apologize for
dropping in like this,

but Superbook
doesn't always... Doh!

Sooooo! Um,
what were youguys fighting about?

We weren't fighting.

We were 'discussing'

how the king is wasting
money on a statue.

A statue to a false god.

One he wants us to bow to...

but we never will.

Wow!
Look at that!

Whoa, AWESOME!

Amazing! And it looks like
it's made of gold.

Yes, Joy.
It's pure gold.

But that's all it is.
Just metal.

Our God created everything.
Even the gold in that statue.

When we pray to him,

He hears and answers our
prayersbecause He is real.

So if the statue's not alive,
what's the harm in bowing to it?

Because our God alone
isworthy of worship.

He commandswe not bow to other gods.

Yet if we do not bow,
the king will only see it

as direct disobedience
to his authority.

It is a difficult
choice to make.

But why? Just do what
you wanna do.

If we disobey the king,

we will be thrown into
a blazing furnace.

Behold this
glorious creation of mine!

How it watches over
all of Babylon.

My Lord. The ceremony awaits.

Excellent.

Today, all will worship
at the feet of my statue.

Oh, Chris!

Who knew Babylon in 500 BC
could be so much fun!

Profile pic!

Tagged! Uploaded!

And we've already received
thirty-five "likes!"

Really?

Uh, no, Chris. Are you nuts?
It is 500 BC!

So what's going on today?
It looks like a celebration.

Yes, a celebration
for everyone... but us.

Oh! There they are!

I should have reported
your insolence long ago!

You do not value
your high positions.

You secretly
disregard the throne.

And you're standing on my foot!

Oh, I am? I'm sorry, Apsu.

I know what this ceremony means
for you and your god.

Now, we say, you bow to the
king's statue... or else!

Oh... Ow! Owowowowowow!

Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmmm.
Owwoooo owowow.

Oh, you're just trying toscare
them with empty threats.

Empty threats?!

Soldier! Tell the king,

Namtar reports the ceremony
is ready to proceed.

Oh! And Apsu says so, too! Huh!!

Guys, you're making waytoo big a deal

out of this wholestatue thing.

I say, just don't
go to the ceremony.

As the king's officials
we must attend.

But if we bow down to this idol,

we are being
disobedient to our God.

Obedience to God is always
the right thing to do,

no matter the consequences.

I'm telling you...
bow, don'tbow... it's no big deal.

Giz, I need your help.

Oh, when you push those
littlebuttons in the proper sequence

you can speak directlyto anyone who...

I don't need help with
the phone, Gizmo!

I need help with Chris.
This is serious!

Chris is totally
missing the point

about buying Todd's
test answers.

And he's missing the point with
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

Well, what do you mean?

They have a tough
decision to make, Giz,

but they're doing the right
thing... even though

they could be thrown
into a fiery furnace

for not bowing to
the king's statue.

But, Joy, Chris says
thatfurnace is not real and...

Chris is in denial
about that test...

the same way he's in
denial about that furnace.

You mean it IS real?

Do WE have to bow?!
Joy! Wait!

People of all nations
and languages,

listen to the King's command.

When you hear the sound of
the horn... flute... zither...

lyre... harp... pipes...

What's happening?

This is where
we make our decision.

Bow to the ground

to worship King
Nebuchadnezzar's gold statue!

O King, live forever.

O King, live forever.

My legs are shaking, Shadrach.

What will happen to us?

Remember earlier when you
thought you couldn't do this?

And I said God would be with us
when the time came?

Yes.

He is with us.

Yes. God
strengthens me even now.

Anyone who refuses to obey

will immediately be thrown
into a blazing furnace.

Ehhhhh.

Gizmo!

Then, we stand together?

Yes.

Okay, I'm bowing out!

Guys, what are you doing?!

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

What you guys did out
there today...

you know, not bowing like that?

I mean... you're gonna lose
yourjobs with the king, right?

I am certain the king
is deciding our fate

at this very moment.

But you're good with that,
right? I mean, what?

You might get a demotion? But
there's probably... you know...

hundreds of other jobs in
the kingdom for guys like you.

What do you got around here,
like torch lighters...

brick layers... who cleans
upafter your big statue ceremonies

and stuff - right?

Yeah... you'll land on your feet, haha!
No problem.

Well, see you guys later?

Chris, it's dangerous for
us to be here with these guys.

Relax. I just leftthem up there.

They're fine. They're havin' soup.

Chris, they didn't bow today

and the king is going
have them arrested.

Do you guys see anysoldiers around here?

Mm, no.

Do you see a big scary furnace

with hot flames
shooting into the sky?

No.

Right! Because soldiers
aren'tcoming to arrest them

and that furnace doesn't exist.
There is nothing to worry about!

Aha!
Chris! Gimme...

Except memorizing
Todd's test answers.

Joy! Gimme my phone!

Okay, Chris. My guess is
thosesoldiers who aren't there

are taking our friends to that
furnace that DOESN'T EXIST!

Is it true, Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego,

that you do not serve my gods...

or worship the gold image
which I have set up?

I will give you one more
chance to bow down

and worship the
image which I have made!!!

If you refuse, you will be
cast immediately

into the middle of
a blazing furnace!!

And who is the god who will
deliver you from my hands?

Nebuchadnezzar,

we have no need to
answeryou in this matter.

Our God, whom we serve,

is able to deliver us
from the burning fiery furnace.

And He will deliver us
from your hand, O king.

But even if he does not,

we want to make it clear to
you, Your Majesty,

that we will never
serve your gods

or worship the gold
statue you have set up.

GRRRRRR!!

Then heat the furnace to seven
times its usual temperature!

TAKE THEM... NOW!!!

C'mon!

Tie them up!



Chris! Gizmo! I can hear them!

They're right on the other
side of this wall!

We're on it, Joy!
Okay, Chris!

Force times distance
from the fulcrum is...

is equal to the turning force!

Guys, what are you doing?
Giz, fly us up there now!

If I do it that way,
Chriswill never pass his science test

and he will never get to ride
SCRRREEEEAMING THUNDDDEER!

What will this fulcrum do,
Chris?

This is going to putus on that wall.

OH, NO IT'S NOT!!!

Uh, Giz, does the textbook
sayanything about rotten wood?

Whoa!!

Got a plan B, Einstein?

Giz, Plan B.
Fly us up there now!



- Chris!
- Oh no!

I told them.

I told them all along.
Butthey refused to listen.

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

We've got to get down
there and stop this!

Eeeh-whoa-whoa-whoa-
whoa-whoa-whoa.

I have given you every chance,

but your time has run out.

CAST THEM INTO THE FURNACE!

Ohh, I can't watch.

AAAAhhhhhh!!!!

We're too late. They're gone.

The guards... were burned
up in the flames.

You are right, Apsu.
This is what happens

when you refuse
to obey the king.

What's he looking at?

I can't see from here.
Come on.

Did we not cast three men bound

into the midst of the fire?!!

Look!!!
I see four men, unbound,

walking around in the
fire unharmed.

Hunh? What?

And the fourth looks like a god!

Who is that in there with them?

Abednego told the king,

God could deliver them
from the furnace.

It must be... God.

Servants of the Most High
God, come out and come here!

Not a hair on their head
was singed.

And their clothing
is not scorched.

They don't even smell of smoke.

Whoa!

Blessed be the God ofShadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego,

who sent His Angel...

and delivered His servants who
trusted in Him.

They defied my command...
and were willing to die

rather than serve or worship
any god except their own.

I will not allow any person to
say anything against their God.

Anyone who does will be
dealt with severely.

Oh, would you be quiet!

Truly, there is no other god
who can rescue like this.



So the king put you in
chargeof even more things now?

And we're already
making some changes.

What are you gonna do?

Guys! I thinkwe're going back!

Come on, Joy. We're going to
be late for school.

Chris, what are you
going todo about the test?!

Joy Pepper - yes!
Passing grade!

Fail... fail... fail... fail...
Ah... Chris Quantum.

Um, not-so-great.
But you passed!

A lot of kids had thesame
answers on the test, Chris.

And all of them were wrong.

Somebody told me you hadthe answers, too,

but decidednot to look at them.

Yeah. I passed on my own, but

I didn't get a high enough
gradeto go to the amusement park.

What do you say for extracredit
you try and tell me, uh

What's the earliest
writtenreference we still have today

about levers. Say within

oh, a couple hundredyears, give or take.

Uh... 5th century BC?

Like around the time of
Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon?

Earliest writings about levers
date from around 3rd Century BC.

But I'd say you earned yourself
half a grade point.

Enjoy the park.

You can do that?
I can!

Because you chose not to cheat.
That deserves credit too.

Now I've got to take care of
a different matter.

But... my brother said
theywere the right answers!

It's because I gave a
different test this year, Todd.

Now come with me. We're
calling your parents.

The rest of you will re-take thetest
later, but no park.

Aww, Todd!

We shouldn't have
bought those answers.

It's all his fault.

Well, I never thought I'd say
it, but Todd was right.

What!? Todd?

Yeah. He said anyone who uses
his answers would have to pay.

And it looks like he's
paying for it now...

Whooaaaaa!

Screaming Thunder!!!

Wahhhaaahaa-oooohhhhh!!!!
