165 beats in sequences, cut automatically at shot boundaries scored on picture change, pauses in speech, topic shifts, on-screen text and cutting rhythm (each beat says why it starts where it does). Each is annotated by a vision-language model from four sampled frames and the transcript lines in it, as observations with evidence; anything the frames and lines do not support is left null. Machine annotation (Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct), checked automatically: quotes must be verbatim, names must be spoken, "visible" events are sampled to a second model.

Beats

  128. 11:42 What story is this, Loa?
  129. 11:47 The grannies are lost, Count Ed.
  130. 11:49 You mean we gotta go clean back down the bottom and start over again? I reckon so. Come on to goodness. Wait a minute. Randy, it's no wonder we're so tired, Edmund. Look in there, we've climbed 2400 floors. Uh-uh.
  131. 12:10 Here.
  132. 12:12 Anything ought to be some... Wait a minute, Andrew.
  133. 12:16 Look at the honor. There it is now. Stark and Stark lawyers. Well...
  134. 12:22 It's always no wonder Uncle Ernie passed away so soon. One trip up here would kill him.
  135. 12:27 Well, you see, I really know nothing about this man.
  136. 12:31 Mr. J.J. Stark is handling it.
  137. 12:34 You'll be back in a few days.
  138. 12:36 In a few days.
  139. 12:37 Pop.
  140. 12:38 We got to get back to Pine Ridge. Them folks are waiting for us.
  141. 12:42 Go.
  142. 12:43 Uh...
  143. 12:44 Do you reckon there'd be any objections if me and Abner went and looked the railroad over before Mr. Stark gets back?
  144. 12:50 We won't hurt nothing on us, we won't.
  145. 12:52 Hi, dear. It'll be all right.
  146. 12:53 Well, good.
  147. 12:54 Now, how do we get to her?
  148. 12:57 Will you remember this? You called the depot you came into?
  149. 12:59 came into the iron hair tag too?
  150. 13:03 Will you take a train out of there to go pick it?
  151. 13:05 Roll 30.
  152. 13:07 Just a moment, I trippled you.
  153. 13:09 All right.
  154. 13:10 Here you are.
  155. 13:11 Oh, my God.
  156. 13:15 Oh, steady junction.
  157. 13:18 So you know, huh?
  158. 13:20 Mm-hmm.
  159. 13:22 Dreamliner ought to be along right now. Well, ha ha ha!
  160. 13:28 There she comes.
  161. 13:34 My granny's already got out there and flagged them down. Tough charge right now. Ha ha ha!
  162. 13:39 Yes, sir, I just can't hardly believe that that's all mine. No, sir.
  163. 13:44 You're...
  164. 13:45 What, my uncle? I just left it to him.
  165. 13:47 Ernest Peabody?
  166. 13:48 Why, sure. Did you know him?
  167. 13:50 know him.
  168. 13:52 Used to sit around and swap lives with him. Well...
  169. 13:54 Actually, he's lying right there. Yeah, we know it.
  170. 14:00 Huh?
  171. 14:01 Come on, I'll show it to you.
  172. 14:13 Yep, old Ernie was a character, all right.
  173. 14:16 Constant.
  174. 14:16 See you now.
  175. 14:17 Short for Chinook, Norville.
  176. 14:19 That was an Ames gold mine he staked out around here about fifty years ago.
  177. 14:23 Welcome.
  178. 14:24 Is this all that's left of the CNOs?
  179. 14:27 Yes, Bernie built this line to carry the ore down to smelter.
  180. 14:31 that most track's gone now.
  181. 14:33 Well, as long as it's my property, Lum, I might as well look over what's left of it, I reckon.
  182. 14:39 I wouldn't go in there.
  183. 14:42 I forgot to tell you that the...
  184. 14:44 It's no wonder the railroad went through. Oh, what about that gold mine he owned?
  185. 14:49 Oh, that's petered out long ago.
  186. 14:51 That's what finished his railroad.
  187. 14:55 Come on, Andrew.
  188. 15:06 Oh.
  189. 15:07 Well, sorry to hear about your investments in those right-of-way. However...
  190. 15:10 Your CNO line isn't a total loss.
  191. 15:13 A salvage dealer has found an office.
  192. 15:16 Well, good. How much?
  193. 15:20 Oh.
  194. 15:22 Well, that'll at least get us back to Pine Ridge, all right?
  195. 15:25 I strongly advise that you gentlemen accept this.
  196. 15:28 I know this hit the deal.
  197. 15:29 - Huh? - Mr. Deal, I'm gonna take it.
  198. 15:32 Will you kindly sign right there, Pete?
  199. 15:34 Sure, right there.
  200. 15:36 Now then...
  201. 15:37 There are a few minor things to be taken care of, such as
  202. 15:40 Well, uh, county tax?
  203. 15:42 Periton faxed.
  204. 15:43 And of course, the usual executive's fee, but then you just don't understand that, I believe.
  205. 15:47 How much does all that come to, Mr. Stark?
  206. 15:50 180 dollars.
  207. 15:52 You mean Abner just gets $20 for his uncle down?
  208. 15:56 There is an unpaid lien of $67.
  209. 15:59 when you...
  210. 16:01 Well, if that don't beat the boats, if I...
  211. 16:03 I... Adner, you owe him $47.
  212. 16:05 $47? What fur?
  213. 16:08 I just hope we got enough left to pay it.
  214. 16:10 I oughta had more sense than to put any defense in Uncle Ernie.
  215. 16:14 Grandpa Peabody Aller, and he's the black throat of the family.
  216. 16:18 What are you here?
  217. 16:19 Here you are. It's 10, 20, 30, 35, 40, 45, 46.
  218. 16:25 $47. Thank you. You know how much that leaves us, Edmund? Not the least, I... $0.50.
  219. 16:31 Oh, there is a notarizing fee.
  220. 16:33 50 cents.
  221. 16:35 Come on, Adler, let's get out of here while we can.
  222. 16:39 I wish now Uncle Ernest hadn't died.
  223. 16:44 Now how are we going to get back to Pine Ridge? I don't know. I get a...
  224. 16:50 Wait a minute.
  225. 16:51 I granted we better telegram square stamp and tell him not to bother him like the way.
  226. 16:55 That's right. We better do that longer. Well, but here, here, you don't aim to walk all the way down them steps, do you?
  227. 17:00 Why, sure.
  228. 17:02 - You're going to die.
  229. 17:03 My feet are a war to a couple of nubs.
  230. 17:05 I'm just as tired as you are long. Oh, come on, Ezra. Just this once left right to elevator. No, sir, them things are too dangerous.
  231. 17:16 Look out after her! Help! Help! Help!
  232. 17:24 Oh. Are you hurt, Adler? Are you hurt? Oh. My leg's broke. Pick one in. Oh, my right one. Maybe my left one. I don't know. Pull it, will ya? I gotta make a report.
  233. 17:37 I told you the elevators are not easy here. Well, I'm gonna try to start no argument with me now. I'm tripled up my day. You're the lieutenant of this building?
  234. 17:46 or just a flunky without portfolio.
  235. 17:48 And he says, what is it? What is it? What is it? Now, find the... I'm... There's an old man fell down the stairs. An old man fell down the stairs.
  236. 17:57 An old mantle down the stairs. Yes, yes. Oh, dear, another damaged suit, I suppose. And, oh, trouble, trouble, all the way to...
  237. 18:04 Where is it? The 25th floor. The 25th floor. All right. All right.
  238. 18:08 Everything happens to me. There isn't one thing, it's nothing. It's never nothing.
  239. 18:25 Go!
  240. 18:26 Not him! Not him! Him! Him! Oh! Well, don't stand there gaping! Pick him up! Pick him up! Pick him up! Pick him up! Every moment! How? What's going on? Wait a minute! Put him down! That's my partner! It's all right! It's all right! We're just going to take him to a doctor's office for an examination!
  241. 18:40 Just to make sure that there's no damage, then he can sign a release.
  242. 18:42 Relieved?
  243. 18:43 Yes, sir.
  244. 18:44 One of these.
  245. 18:46 Yeah.
  246. 18:47 There, now come on, we'll carry him to the elevator. Oh no, I'm fainted! Oh, excuse me. No elevator! No sir!
  247. 18:56 Yeah.
  248. 19:02 How are we going to pay for this?
  249. 19:04 Grinny's I never thought about, eh?
  250. 19:06 Well, what are we doing out there anyway, Long?
  251. 19:09 I don't know what you brought us.
  252. 19:11 handed me this release or whatever he called it.
  253. 19:17 Oh, 'cause he must have a cucko burn his britches. I never seen such a fidgety fella in my whole life.
  254. 19:23 Oh, my God.
  255. 19:24 Dear, oh dear, another five minutes wasted. I'm a busy man. I'm sorry, but the doctor is still busy with the patient.
  256. 19:36 Who?
  257. 19:38 Oh.
  258. 19:42 The doctor's report on Mr. Strauss will be ready in just a few minutes.
  259. 19:45 Pour it.
  260. 19:48 All right, Mr. Peabody. The doctor will see you. Mr. Peabody, there we go. Come on. Hurry up. Go on. Where? It's the doctor's office.
  261. 19:55 Well, Lung, I believe I feel all right. Come on, let's get out of here. No, you better be examined, wasn't it?
  262. 20:00 Here, Edmund. You might have some infernal injuries. Oh, dear, I hope not. Now, go on, you get in there for goodness sake. Now, you know I'm a busy man. Well, look what happened to that, fellas.
  263. 20:09 Only the patient. Oh, just the...
  264. 20:12 - Patient.
  265. 20:16 What's the latest war news, Doc?
  266. 20:21 Inhale, please.
  267. 20:23 I don't inhale. Facts is I hardly smoke at all.
  268. 20:29 All right.
  269. 20:30 Now say 99 and keep on saying it.
  270. 20:34 Ninety-nine.
  271. 20:39 Twenty-nine.
  272. 20:42 A heart!
  273. 20:43 All right.
  274. 20:44 Uh, 99.
  275. 20:47 How old are you?
  276. 21:06 Have you noticed any marked fluctuations in your weight lately?
  277. 21:09 Uh, uh, come over that again, Doc. I believe I jumped back there.
  278. 21:14 What's the most you ever weighed?
  279. 21:15 Oh, uh...
  280. 21:17 Hundred and thirty-eight.
  281. 21:20 and the least.
  282. 21:22 Ahhhh...
  283. 21:24 Five and a half pounds, I believe it was.
  284. 21:31 Will you stop pacing? You make me nervous. I wasn't pacing. I just walked it. Well, then let's get in steps.
  285. 21:41 And will you stop typing so loud?
  286. 21:43 I'm typing as quietly as I can. Well then, type louder. I loathe the sneaky typewriter.
  287. 21:48 Well, if you ever get down to Pine Ridge, why come see me, Doc. Thank you. Twenty-three and a half hours leave?
  288. 21:55 How wonderful! Are you all right?
  289. 21:58 Everything, what'd he say? Are you hurt anywhere, Vatner? I don't think so, Lom.
  290. 22:02 listened at my chest with a little telephone and then he dropped a bandage around my arm and punked me up but
  291. 22:07 I believe it helps my leg. It feels better. Well, good.
  292. 22:12 Mm-hmm.
  293. 22:13 I miss you, too.
  294. 22:15 What was the name of that patient that just went out?
  295. 22:17 Just a minute, dear.
  296. 22:18 Um...
  297. 22:19 Drop!
  298. 22:20 rocks.
  299. 22:21 Aha.
  300. 22:22 Oh, I like that. And what was the name of that other patient?
  301. 22:25 Um, isn't it?
  302. 22:27 Peabody.
  303. 22:28 everybody.
  304. 22:29 Oh, that would be wonderful.
  305. 22:32 Give these to Miss Morris, please.
  306. 22:34 The camp is in at 8 o'clock.
  307. 22:36 I'll be there.
  308. 22:39 Yes.
  309. 22:41 He was in there beating me on the knee with a hammer. - What? - Yes, sir. What's the matter with you?
  310. 22:47 Nothing.
  311. 22:48 I'm not a fellow.
  312. 22:50 Come on.
  313. 22:52 She's on a one.
  314. 22:53 On the front, what you said, I thought she was walking. That must be the reef work. Yes.
  315. 22:58 There you are.
  316. 22:58 Right.
  317. 23:10 Whoopee! Whoopee! I told you there was nothing wrong with me! Whoopee! Hey, you forgot your tricycle!
  318. 23:23 Good.
  319. 23:24 Better break this to him gently.
  320. 23:26 Huh?
  321. 23:29 Oh, my goodness.
  322. 23:40 Two weeks to live.
  323. 23:45 Grab his feet there, Abner. He's fainted. Oh, oh!
  324. 23:48 All right, Dawkins, we ain't going to have to carry him all the way back down them stairs there, Willard. No, put him in that wheelchair there. Oh, oh, oh.
  325. 23:56 Is there a doctor in the house?
  326. 24:02 The dog is one day gone already. Just a week and six days left. Who was it, Norm? He's a porter.
  327. 24:10 Telegram. Telegram?
  328. 24:13 Lum Edwards, Richemore Hotel, Chicago, Illinois.
  329. 24:16 Your telegram received too late.
  330. 24:19 have already closed for all right-of-way and paid out $9,980.
  331. 24:25 Consider this a bargain.
  332. 24:28 to our scheme.
  333. 24:29 Grant.
  334. 24:31 Now what are we going to do, Lump? I don't know. We can't get out of here.
  335. 24:35 You can't even pay our hotel bill.
  336. 24:37 Well, I want to go back to Pine Ridge some.
  337. 24:40 If I'm going to die, that's where I want to do it.
  338. 24:42 We can't go back to Pine Ridge Avenue. We're going to have to pay back all them investments.
  339. 24:47 That was their life-saving.
  340. 24:50 I'm lonesome here, Lon.
  341. 24:52 I'm here, ain't I?
  342. 24:53 Well, yeah.
  343. 24:55 A dog can have pleas and still be lonesome, can he?
  344. 25:00 Oh, my God.
  345. 25:02 Yeah.
  346. 25:03 Ain't she gonna answer it?
  347. 25:05 I just happen to think that ain't our ring. Well, bring them again, then.
  348. 25:08 Yes, of course.
  349. 25:09 Hmm.
  350. 25:10 Mr. Flanning, I do hope we keep this thing out of court.
  351. 25:13 Now, how high do you think we ought to go to get a relief?
  352. 25:16 Well, it's a pretty serious case. You might start with $5,000.
  353. 25:20 Say, this is silly.
  354. 25:21 Hang on.
  355. 25:22 But I, don't you understand? You give them big ideas if you go after them. Now just sit tight and wait until they come to you.
  356. 25:30 You're right.
  357. 25:32 You're right. No, no, no, no. Cass Hanson, will you please? Wrong number.
  358. 25:36 No, sir, Ebner. We've got to raise $10,000 somewhere or other.
  359. 25:40 Well, I've got enough words of my own without thinking about that thing.
  360. 25:44 Well, sit down and rest, Henry. Here, read the paper for a while. Oh, love, I can't complicate on nothing.
  361. 25:50 I wish I was in Pine Ridge, that's quite a week.
  362. 25:59 For the lamb's sake.
  363. 26:01 What's the matter?
  364. 26:02 That article in there.
  365. 26:03 death and taxes. I can't get away from it. Well, read a book. Read something else. Oh, I don't want to read nothing. I'd rather just
  366. 26:17 I need my hand safe.
  367. 26:19 Told you'd let me turn that radio on, get a little music in here.
  368. 26:25 Don't get after me, do you?
  369. 26:29 Have you selected your last resting place?
  370. 26:32 in beautiful birch log
  371. 26:35 Right?
  372. 26:36 That's blaming anyway. I can't stand it, love. Control yourself, Abner. Come on.
  373. 26:40 You need to lay down and get some red. Come on.
  374. 26:42 Well, I'm going to get catched up on that laying down business. I'd rather stay on my feet as long as I can.
  375. 26:50 You know, as sick as I am, I never felt better in my life.
  376. 26:57 Well, let me think.
  377. 26:59 He's the dozen.
  378. 27:01 A honeyman?
  379. 27:02 Great things.
  380. 27:04 Guys, there he knows it.
  381. 27:06 Browning.
  382. 27:08 No, a lone energy is mine, ain't it?
  383. 27:10 What's in a name?
  384. 27:11 A rose by any other smells and so forth.
  385. 27:14 Shakespeare.
  386. 27:15 Come on in, Mr. Shakespeare.
  387. 27:20 Rover?
  388. 27:22 Yes, that's my dog.
  389. 27:23 He's dead, but he's with me and say,
  390. 27:25 Here.
  391. 27:26 I know just how you feel. I had a dog myself.
  392. 27:30 That's kind of dangerous work, ain't it? That winder worship...
  393. 27:33 Dangerous?
  394. 27:34 Well...
  395. 27:35 Maybe.
  396. 27:36 But it pays good.
  397. 27:37 If you want to advance,
  398. 27:39 You gotta take a chance.
  399. 27:40 Don't you get it in the pants?
  400. 27:41 - Kipple? - Yours truly.
  401. 27:43 All right, that's pretty good.
  402. 27:46 Yeah, that's the way jobs are. The more dangerous, the more they pay.
  403. 27:49 Now, take that flagpole on top of that building, for instance.
  404. 27:52 They'll pay $500 for a paint job on that.
  405. 27:56 But that's not for me.
  406. 27:57 to jinxed halls.
  407. 27:58 Yes, sir.
  408. 28:00 Yes, sir.
  409. 28:00 It sways in the breeze.
  410. 28:03 Confidentially, three guys got jinx trying to earn that 500th.
  411. 28:07 No more takers.
  412. 28:08 That pole still needs painting.
  413. 28:10 He does? Mm-hmm.
  414. 28:14 Hey, Granny, there's a lot of poles out there need paint, ain't there?
  415. 28:17 Yes, sir. This ain't a one-flag town.
  416. 28:20 Oh, glory's unpoiled all around. Heh heh heh.
  417. 28:24 Five hundred dollars, huh? That's right. Mom, I can't sleep. I just laid in that room. Adler, I want you to shake hands. What's he doing here? You don't know it, but there stands a friend of ours.
  418. 28:33 Well, Omar, tennis and gipples.
  419. 28:35 Greetings.
  420. 28:36 I'll be looking forward to other meetings. You'll be right, poetry.
  421. 28:39 I'll go over here. That's his dog.
  422. 28:44 Are you going to be with us long?
  423. 28:46 About two weeks, I reckon. Well, I hope you enjoy Chicago.
  424. 28:50 - Where's a no? - It's his spirit. - Like the poets say? - You wouldn't understand. Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may die.
  425. 28:58 Huh? Tomorrow? Uh, and her.
  426. 29:01 If a fellow knowed he's going to die pretty soon, it wouldn't make much difference to him when he died or how he died, would it?
  427. 29:06 I ain't thought much about that, Walt. Well, for instance, if this fellow owed some folks back home a lot of money, and he had a chance to take a job that paid real good, he ought to take it, Ork.
  428. 29:16 I reckon so. Granny put her there.
  429. 29:19 You don't know it, but you've just become a flagpole painter.
  430. 29:23 Flagpole? Oh, no, I ain't getting up on one of them things, no, sir. Wait a minute, Abner. If I was in your position, I wouldn't hesitate a minute. As long as getting up high makes me dizzy, Amy, ain't a thing of doings.
  431. 29:34 and your inimitable dogs.
  432. 29:43 Let me down, Lon. It's dangerous. I want to fall down that street when them cars are run open and just sure as the world.
  433. 29:50 Go on, stay up there. Everybody has to be scared of. Look at me. I ain't nervous a bit. No, you ain't up here neither. Go on, get the painting up there. Go on, clean up to the top.
  434. 29:59 Well, Long, let me down. Let me down now, Long. Look out, Abner. Look what you're doing. Find out. Oh! Look out! Oh! Grab that rope! Grab that rope! Oh! Oh! Oh!
  435. 30:13 I understand what they mean by jinxed pole.
  436. 30:18 I've always wanted to pull a lucky number off of one of them punch boards.
  437. 30:22 Oh, my...
  438. 30:25 Hello, Mr. Edwards.
  439. 30:26 - No. - Er...
  440. 30:34 Oh. Well, how's everything with you and your partners?
  441. 30:36 Not so good.
  442. 30:37 He's in there asleep now.
  443. 30:39 We ain't getting no birds.
  444. 30:41 Hotel bills are piling up on them.
  445. 30:44 That's life.
  446. 30:45 It's full of stripes.
  447. 30:46 And, uh...
  448. 30:48 Jack.
  449. 30:49 Jack?
  450. 30:49 No, but it rhymes.
  451. 30:51 Oh.
  452. 30:52 Are you still looking for risky jobs to pay big?
  453. 30:54 Yeah, the...
  454. 30:55 Know of any more?
  455. 30:56 No.
  456. 30:58 Oh.
  457. 30:58 But you could advertise.
  458. 31:00 Advertise.
  459. 31:01 Like in newspapers? That's right.
  460. 31:03 I agree. It sounds like a good idea. An ad in a column.
  461. 31:07 might get results.
  462. 31:08 in full volume. Sounds good.
  463. 31:11 Glad to compose it for you.
  464. 31:13 strong prose is my weakness.
  465. 31:28 Down this...
  466. 31:32 I need to.
  467. 31:36 Yeah, I'll hear the doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Shh.
  468. 31:40 I am the new Dr. Jericho.
  469. 31:44 You see this?
  470. 31:46 This is the key that opens my prison door.
  471. 31:50 freeze my other self. He loses my animal that isn't me.
  472. 31:54 It is in you. It is in you. I ain't got no such thing in me. Well, what is it you won't have her to do? This dog I know will change me into my animal self.
  473. 32:06 But I am not.
  474. 32:07 I'm so sure that if you will change me,
  475. 32:10 Back again.
  476. 32:11 So?
  477. 32:12 I went in.
  478. 32:13 for my guinea pigs.
  479. 32:15 Guinea pig, you ain't gonna make no kind of animal out of me.
  480. 32:28 That Peabody guy. Where did me and Plato find him? Plato? Yeah, that's Plato. Plato.
  481. 32:33 Put it down. Put it down.
  482. 32:35 - He's always clowning. - Clowning. - A great actor. - Yes. He's the only girl in the world that doesn't adopt him. He throws his partner 20 feet in the air. He throws his partner 20 feet in the air.
  483. 32:45 Mister is beautiful.
  484. 32:47 Ha, ha!
  485. 32:48 The only trouble is we keep running out of park. - What room did you say that Peabody guy was in?
  486. 32:52 Uh, he's in 713. Oh, oh.
  487. 32:58 Take him out. Take this king calling out of here. What's the matter? You're ready to carry? What are you getting? Well, get him out of here. The very idea. Oh, my goodness.
  488. 33:09 Now, wait a minute, Ebner. It's just an experiment. Besides, he says he'll pay good.
  489. 33:14 Lookie there, there ain't nothing to it.
  490. 33:17 That looks good.
  491. 33:20 I wouldn't mind drinking some of that myself.
  492. 33:23 Would you have her?
  493. 33:24 Abner!
  494. 33:25 He must have went in there.
  495. 33:27 Where is my guinea pig? Where's my guinea pig?
  496. 33:30 Come on.
  497. 33:31 Where's Mike? All right, Plato. Now sit down and be quiet.
  498. 33:36 Where's this Peabody guy?
  499. 33:38 Hey, Peabody!
  500. 33:39 Where is everybody?
  501. 33:41 Hey, Peabody!
  502. 33:43 Hey, anybody in here?
  503. 33:47 Abner.
  504. 33:49 What about you got, Abner?
  505. 33:52 Come on.
  506. 34:00 Mom!
  507. 34:02 Oh, Lonnie, you're not a drunk.
  508. 34:06 Fuck!
  509. 34:07 Lump! Speak to me, Lump! Speak to me! Lump! Now, don't, don't do that, Lump! Don't do that now! Don't!
  510. 34:15 No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! Adner? Adner?
  511. 34:21 Well, good for you. Well, you took this stuff, huh? Dr. Jekyll, it works. Look. Oh, my formula. It is a success.
  512. 34:29 Wait here. I'll go and get another farmer to bring the little bag. Wait. I'll be back. Shoot.
  513. 34:35 Shoot.
  514. 34:36 Abner, Abner, Abner. Come here, come here. Sit down over there. Sit down. Did I tell you to sit down over there? Don't talk to him like that. That's my partner. Your partner? He's been my partner for seven years. Abner, tell him whose partner you are.
  515. 34:48 Well, I was yours, but I ain't going to be if you don't... Abner, or Ab... whichever one's you.
  516. 34:55 I thought that was you. No, that's you.
  517. 34:58 No, it ain't me.
  518. 35:00 The last will of Abner Foddy. And Pappy Spears.
  519. 35:06 Nothing. He keeps a chatter. Law matters. Yes, see, now what can I leave old law?
  520. 35:15 And all Abner has she's talking about? Yes, alone. And you pay him a thousand dollars? Yes, if...
  521. 35:22 Of course, there's an "if" in it.
  522. 35:24 F-Y.
  523. 35:25 if you're alive in the morning. Oh, but he will be. I don't believe the house is really haunted. Haunted?
  524. 35:35 Now, just a minute, Edna. We need that $1,000. Go ahead, Miss Carman.
  525. 35:39 You see?
  526. 35:40 The legend about the house has kept us from selling it for years.
  527. 35:43 But now I have a buyer for it. If I can prove that...
  528. 35:48 Never mind.
  529. 35:48 Approve what, Miss Carlisle?
  530. 35:51 My grandfather died a sudden and strange death in that house.
  531. 35:55 And since that time, anyone who stays alone all night in his room
  532. 36:00 Well,
  533. 36:01 How many has it been so far?
  534. 36:03 Only five.
  535. 36:04 See there, Admiral, just by it.
  536. 36:05 And I'm sure it wasn't the ghost that got them.
  537. 36:08 It was just their imagination.
  538. 36:10 Just imagination, huh?
  539. 36:13 I reckon they just imagine they're dead, too. Oh, no. I don't like ghosts, and I ain't gonna have nothing to do with them, and that is fine on them.
  540. 36:24 I'm sorry.
  541. 36:25 Well...
  542. 36:27 If you gentlemen should change your mind,
  543. 36:32 Oh, here's your hand.
  544. 36:34 Oh!
  545. 36:35 That's very gallant of you, Mr. Edwards. Oh, not at all, not at all.
  546. 36:39 I'll try to talk him into it.
  547. 36:41 Oh, then I can expect to see you again soon.
  548. 36:44 Perhaps.
  549. 36:45 dinner and
  550. 36:46 - Dancing? - I'd love to.
  551. 36:49 But now...
  552. 36:53 Granny Zepner, I believe she admires me. For the land sake. She does, I can tell.
  553. 37:02 Pedal battle. And we're going to a dance, too.
  554. 37:08 Sort of warm out this evening, ain't it, Miss Carmen?
  555. 37:12 Did anybody ever tell you you're beautiful? No.
  556. 37:15 Is this you, Abner, Peabody?
  557. 37:16 Oh, no, that's my partner. I got a great spot for him. I'll pay him $5,000 or half the gate. We'll take the $5,000.
  558. 37:23 We don't want no gig. Oh, you got me wrong, John. What does Q want him to do? The death plea.
  559. 37:29 Adner!
  560. 37:30 No! I'll explain this, neighbor. Don't take a minute. Just a minute there, pal. How do you think I'm going to say? I ain't going to do it. How do you know, Abner? You don't know what it is yet. Mom, I told you I ain't.
  561. 37:43 I need it.
  562. 37:44 Huh.
  563. 37:44 I'll explain it, Mac.
  564. 37:45 The name is Higgins. It's well-a-minute Higgins, they call me in my profession. Now, you're crowding me, neighbor. Now, this death leak, there's nothing to it, see? It's a gimmick.
  565. 37:53 It's for the chunks, for the monkeys outside. Now all you have to do is go up on a big planter, see? You walk up on a cronin, and you got a big thing strapped around you with a harp and a can of stairs. And on here is a big mountain.
  566. 38:03 When they pull you up and you come down, nothing can happen, you understand?
  567. 38:08 Well, you put that in writing,
  568. 38:10 Transfer from one plane to another in midair. I don't deserve one stunt. I've always wanted to see long. I'm going to be up there where I can't watch it. Well, I'll explain it to you when you come back. All right, Peabody. Your time's come. Uh-huh. It's your turn. Come on. They're waiting for the finale. Oh. Oh, well, uh, uh, let's postpone this. Let's talk to Mr. Higgins, long. He's not around. Come on. Your plane is all warmed up.
  569. 38:40 We'll all be over in just a few minutes, Adner.
  570. 38:47 Go on, get in there. We've done pumping over a dozen times. Go, Captain, go, Captain. Go, Captain. Go, Captain. Go. All right, get the thing started for you. Get out of there.
  571. 39:10 Hey, hey, get out of the way. Put your foot out there. Look at this.
  572. 39:20 I can't wait a minute. I'll let her not get out on it. Look out. Get out of here. Hey, wait a minute. Help! Help! Help! Oh, my goodness. Careful, Abner. Careful.
  573. 39:40 No!
  574. 39:43 What are you going up there? Have a good getaway.
  575. 39:55 I can't hold onto this thing. It's wet. It's slippery. Help!
  576. 40:00 Butterfingers. Butterfingers? He never fell. Let me down. Let me down. I'll pay for mine. Hold it still now. Hold. Help! Gasser, be careful! Hey, log. Log. Log. Help me, log. Woo! I can't hold on to this thing. Get out from here. It'll be down in the ground. If I ever get my hands on that crook, I'm... What am I gonna do? I'm stranded. Tell Mr. Higgins we'll take half the gig.
  577. 40:30 Mr. Higgins is gone.
  578. 40:31 Go on.
  579. 40:32 Where to? That's what we'd all like to know. Don't you get it, sucker?
  580. 40:35 Higgins has gone with the dough. He's taking it on the lamb. He's skermooched.
  581. 40:39 Courage, my friends. Don't take it too hard.
  582. 40:42 Remember the words of the immortal bar.
  583. 40:44 Who steals my purse steals trash. 'Tis nothing! - Nothing? It was $5,000.
  584. 40:50 First, wild, filthy...
  585. 40:52 safe.
  586. 40:53 Speaking of looper, you overlooked something. The bar building. Huh? Those stairs you fell down were soapy, weren't they?
  587. 40:59 That makes the building owners liable. They owe you for damages.
  588. 41:02 Hey, Granny, that's right, Abner. Come on, let's get over and collect it. Oh, Mr. Reggie, you better go alone.
  589. 41:07 The party, the first part, is supposed to be non-compassed
  590. 41:09 uh, compass, uh, physicalis.
  591. 41:11 Oh, yeah, sure, that's right. You write that Mr. Edwards is okay to represent you.
  592. 41:17 You know, I'd like that fella all right if it weren't for that invisible dog.
  593. 41:22 Well, what's wrong with these gums?
  594. 41:24 I'm scared to death all the time I'm going to stay up for him.
  595. 41:27 There you are.
  596. 41:29 Yes, right.
  597. 41:31 All right, Dolby's Lon, don't you reckon we ought to get a lawyer to handle this for...
  598. 41:35 With Mr. Gimple here to advisors?
  599. 41:37 I'm just as the piece down home used to handling legal matters.
  600. 41:41 Well, about all you ever do, Lum, is do some marrying or try somebody for killing a deer out of season or something.
  601. 41:48 I'll phone the superintendent of the bar building for an appointment.
  602. 41:51 Huh?
  603. 41:53 Hello? Give me the power building.
  604. 41:55 No, no, no, not the bar, the bar building.
  605. 41:57 But Mr. Fleming...
  606. 41:58 We're not dealing with small fry now.
  607. 42:01 someone else in the picture.
  608. 42:02 Their financial advisor.
  609. 42:04 Offer him 10,000 to start with and then go on from there. But don't be too...
  610. 42:11 Oh! Oh, Mr. Edwards. How are you? How are you? Shake hands. Let me. Well, how do you do?
  611. 42:20 - To make your acquaintance. - That's why I want you to sit down, Mr. Ebbett.
  612. 42:25 How are you? Oh, pardon me, I just asked you that, didn't I? See, I wasn't the one that was hurt. No.
  613. 42:32 No, and now the...
  614. 42:34 About this settlement, Mr. Edwards, have you considered any definite amount?
  615. 42:39 Well, I...
  616. 42:40 I want you fellas to know I'm sort of used to dealing in big figures.
  617. 42:43 Oh, quite so.
  618. 42:45 Of course I understand.
  619. 42:47 Now, uh...
  620. 42:49 Suppose I start with ten. Ten? Yes. Ten. I think that's a very fair offer. Sounds right measly to me.
  621. 42:57 Chicken feed.
  622. 42:58 Well, I could go as high as...
  623. 43:01 12? 12. My grannies, I believe we'd do better by carrying it to court.
  624. 43:05 Oh, now, don't be hasty with it.
  625. 43:09 Well, then, if you'll just give us some idea of...
  626. 43:13 Well, uh, I've been sort of turned it over in my mind.
  627. 43:17 Seventy-five dollars is my price.
  628. 43:20 Yes, sir.
  629. 43:21 Did you say 75? Dollar?
  630. 43:25 Well...
  631. 43:26 Sixty-five then, but not a cent left.
  632. 43:29 And cash money too.
  633. 43:30 *Cough*
  634. 43:31 Well, you certainly drive a hard bargain, Mr. Edwards. Well, like I told you...
  635. 43:37 Sort of used to dealing in big figures.
  636. 43:41 I got $65.
  637. 43:43 $65. Yes, sir.
  638. 43:45 Is that all?
  639. 43:46 Is that all?
  640. 43:47 He tried to get me to take ten, but that's too sharp for him.
  641. 43:51 How do you do?
  642. 43:54 I'm from the classified ad agency. You owe us $64.50.
  643. 43:57 the act you took out of the morning papers.
  644. 44:00 - 65, did you say? - Yeah.
  645. 44:02 Thank you very much.
  646. 44:03 Here's the...
  647. 44:04 has changed.
  648. 44:06 And your receipt, all made out.
  649. 44:08 Thank you again, gentlemen.
  650. 44:10 Not at all.
  651. 44:12 We ought to have a collector like him down to jot them down to us.
  652. 44:15 Wasn't hurtin' I think.
  653. 44:17 Well, we got this out of it anyway. Uh-oh.
  654. 44:22 That's our ring, ain't it?
  655. 44:24 I don't know why I never paid no pension, I'm going to buy that.
  656. 44:28 Got him down. I mean, Lumheader's talking.
  657. 44:30 I told you, Mom, I found a dime and a lipstick. Who?
  658. 44:34 Well, good. Hold her there for me. I mean, tell her to wait there for me. I'll be right down.
  659. 44:39 Yeah, much obliged.
  660. 44:43 Oh, good afternoon, Mr. Edwards.
  661. 44:44 We're at you.
  662. 44:45 I mean, Miss Cormack.
  663. 44:46 Oh, she's in the grill room having lunches.
  664. 44:48 I suppose you wasn't
  665. 44:50 flowers sent in.
  666. 44:51 Power.
  667. 44:52 Oh, yes, that would be nice, but
  668. 44:54 I'm a little short in case right now. Why, that's all right. Just charge it on the bill.
  669. 45:00 Anything else, whatever it is, we'll pay for it.
  670. 45:03 Flowers, theater tickets, ballet service.
  671. 45:05 A new paper?
  672. 45:07 Yes, just Ritzmore's service.
  673. 45:08 And by the way,
  674. 45:09 There's a fine play at the Grand Center.
  675. 45:12 I'm sure you're late in front.
  676. 45:14 My late.
  677. 45:15 Oh.
  678. 45:17 Do you reckon she will, sure? They all do. The play's the thing, you know.
  679. 45:20 Did you bring your dinner clothes?
  680. 45:22 No, I just... he didn't eat.
  681. 45:24 in this
  682. 45:25 Yes, but you wouldn't like to.
  683. 45:27 sit in the box without a tuxedo.
  684. 45:29 Oh, no, of course not. All right, I'll have the tailor call on you.
  685. 45:33 They are.
  686. 45:34 Just for its more service? Oh.
  687. 45:36 Uh...
  688. 45:37 Maybe you better have him go up and take Cabner.
  689. 45:40 Peabody's major means to you. Very well.
  690. 45:42 And while you're at it, give him one of them boxes. I certainly will. We'll take care of everything. Now, set a ticket, please.
  691. 45:57 So you think I'm the executive type?
  692. 46:00 Oh, yay.
  693. 46:01 And so trustworthy.
  694. 46:02 Oh, yeah.
  695. 46:05 How?
  696. 46:06 I don't care if I do.
  697. 46:07 I'm sorry.
  698. 46:10 Here, I'll find it first. - Thanks. - Yeah.
  699. 46:20 Here. Excuse me. Awkward, ain't it?
  700. 46:23 I'm sorry.
  701. 46:24 I want to confide in you, Mr. Edwards.
  702. 46:30 Couldn't you just throw me along?
  703. 46:32 Yeah, it sounds better.
  704. 46:37 I want you to help me, love. I've simply got to sell that house.
  705. 46:42 You see, Mother's so ill and I need some money now, desperately.
  706. 46:49 Make sure, Hart.
  707. 46:50 Little less your little heart. I know just how you feel. You will speak to Mr. Peabody, won't you?
  708. 46:57 He's simply got to help me prove the house isn't haunted. Fear not, poor lady. The deed is as good as dead. Oh, Don. Oh, Miss Carmen, I want you to meet my friend, Mr. Gimple. Ah, Rover, get away from the lady. Oh, hello, Rover. Never seen you jump in. Here. Here.
  709. 47:13 Ted Atberg, speak.
  710. 47:14 Hey, sit down. Oh, that's Mr. Gimple's dog.
  711. 47:21 Well, he ain't showing up there. Well, he is there, but he ain't...
  712. 47:26 You wouldn't understand about that.
  713. 47:28 But we'll talk to Abner. Don't you worry a minute. Mr. Gimple's pretty good with words.
  714. 47:33 Say some words for her, Mr. Giddle. Sure.
  715. 47:36 Words, words, like fleeting birds. Some are sweet and some are sour. Some are... some are maybe winter.
  716. 47:44 Charming. I think it's smell.
  717. 47:47 Well...
  718. 47:49 - We've got to weave.
  719. 47:49 We'll talk to Adnan. We'll talk him into it. Now, don't you worry. Wait a minute. I'll climb up the fire escape with you. Mom, haven't you forgotten something? Huh?
  720. 47:59 Oh!
  721. 48:00 Excuse me.
  722. 48:01 Silly of me, isn't it? Uh-uh. Something else. Huh?
  723. 48:04 Oh, yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
  724. 48:08 Well, goodbye, and I'll let you know how we come out.
  725. 48:10 Come on, Grilman. Up-dee-doo. It's a time.
  726. 48:15 Dad, I just want to tell you I've made arrangements.
  727. 48:18 Marks?
  728. 48:20 Already?
  729. 48:21 Yeah.
  730. 48:22 I know you'll enjoy the view.
  731. 48:25 I am.
  732. 48:26 All right, stand it up.
  733. 48:28 Enjoy.
  734. 48:31 I don't get that lung dressed in things too much around here.
  735. 48:34 I'm supposed to leave till the 17th.
  736. 48:38 Oh, man.
  737. 48:42 Mr. Peabody.
  738. 48:44 Mr. Peabody!
  739. 48:45 I do, Mr. Peabody. Or, uh...
  740. 48:48 Mr. Edwards sent me up. Time to take your measurements.
  741. 48:50 Please, you may.
  742. 48:52 that the power has to be measured for something like that
  743. 48:55 But of course, you want the perfect fit, don't you? So all the people will say, "Look at him."
  744. 48:59 Doesn't he look...
  745. 49:00 Beautiful.
  746. 49:04 How long do you want your legs?
  747. 49:06 Well, I'll need them for a day or two, yes.
  748. 49:13 Now, if you'll hold your arms in front of your chest, thus,
  749. 49:19 Sorry, doggies, wait a minute.
  750. 49:20 This measurement finish has went far enough around here. Now you get out of here, and don't come back till the 17th.
  751. 49:27 Go on, get out, get on out of here!
  752. 49:31 I'll be back on that stage. Well, just get out of here now. I'm getting sick and tired of you fellas trying to tell me how to die around here.
  753. 49:38 Down.
  754. 49:39 How? Going up or down?
  755. 49:41 Oh, I won't know till the 17th.
  756. 49:44 We can't wait, brother.
  757. 49:49 Is that it? Yes, sir.
  758. 49:52 Does this belong to you, Professor?
  759. 49:54 I reckon so.
  760. 49:56 I'm scared they got a little broad across the chest for me, though.
  761. 50:00 What studio do you want this harp to?
  762. 50:02 Far!
  763. 50:03 Is there a harp in there?
  764. 50:05 Well, what'd you think we had in there? A dead body?
  765. 50:08 Well, no, not yet.
  766. 50:10 Well, I never know they sent you harps and advances.
  767. 50:13 Well here you better bring it on inside and let me get started practicing on it then.
  768. 50:17 I don't want to get up there and not know how to play.
  769. 50:20 Yeah, this is the room right here. Ah, look out for that last step.
  770. 50:25 For goodness sakes, where'd you get that thing?
  771. 50:32 Oh, they sent it to me, Lord.
  772. 50:34 Who's late?
  773. 50:35 You know, babe.
  774. 50:37 Ah, music is the food and leaven.
  775. 50:40 Or mortal passage into heaven. Burns. Oh no, Shelley. Well, I don't care who it is. And stop playing that thing, Abner. I want to talk business with you.
  776. 50:48 I've been talking to Miss Carmen about sleeping in that haunted house. No!
  777. 50:58 Here's a chance to make a thousand dollars. No!
  778. 51:03 Hello, Abner. No! Er...
  779. 51:05 Why, Elmer Kelton, long look who's here. Well, you old scallywag, you. Proud to see you.
  780. 51:12 Pretty fancy place.
  781. 51:14 Oh, yeah, it's right comfort, I reckon. How's Grandma Masters and all the folks down home? What do you care, you swindler?
  782. 51:23 Swim?
  783. 51:24 What about this railroad?
  784. 51:26 Oh, why, we went out and looked at it. It was just a pile of junk, Elmer.
  785. 51:31 Well, just to be honest, we're flat broke.
  786. 51:34 Row.
  787. 51:35 and staying at a place like this.
  788. 51:38 That's the honest truth, Helmer.
  789. 51:39 Yeah?
  790. 51:41 You ain't fooling us, Lomitards.
  791. 51:43 And you're gonna pay back every cent that we invested in that pony railroad, Yorn?
  792. 51:48 Oh, we're setting the law on you.
  793. 51:51 Well, now, wait a minute, Elmer. Elmer, come back.
  794. 51:54 I don't believe he feels good.
  795. 51:57 Yeah, so that's what the folks back home's thinking about, Erson.
  796. 52:00 Must be.
  797. 52:01 Abner, we've got to raise that $10,000 some way or other.
  798. 52:06 Well...
  799. 52:06 All right, Mom. Where's that house you want me to haunt? Or that haunted house you want me to sleep in? Good for you, Abner. I know you wasn't scared of ghosts.
  800. 52:15 Well, I never said that, but I'll go out there.
  801. 52:18 I'll call Miss Corman right now.
  802. 52:19 How?
  803. 52:21 Yo, Waddle, Mr. Edwards.
  804. 52:24 Oh, yes, you are.
  805. 52:26 Mm-hmm.
  806. 52:28 All right.
  807. 52:30 Oh, really?
  808. 52:31 Well, then I'll come down to your hotel room this afternoon and give you the final instructions.
  809. 52:38 Mr. Edwards, you shouldn't say things like that.
  810. 52:42 All right.
  811. 52:45 I'll see you this afternoon. Bye, Granny.
  812. 52:50 My granny's?
  813. 52:52 What does that mean? I don't know.
  814. 52:54 The little guy finally came through. You'd better clear out, darling.
  815. 52:57 I still don't like it, Madge.
  816. 53:00 I hope there's no slip-up.
  817. 53:01 - Yeah, I'll look.
  818. 53:02 Let's go over this whole thing again.
  819. 53:06 The little guy gets to the house at 4 o'clock.
  820. 53:09 He's carrying the violin.
  821. 53:11 The violin case is locked.
  822. 53:14 And inside is the time bomb set before 10:00.
  823. 53:18 Now, when that goes off,
  824. 53:19 Nobody will know who he was.
  825. 53:21 Nothing wrong with that.
  826. 53:23 Well, I hope you're right.
  827. 53:24 Naturally, everyone will think one of your experiments exploded.
  828. 53:27 Especially when they find your identification bracelet on his wrist.
  829. 53:31 No.
  830. 53:31 I'll act like a widow.
  831. 53:33 collect your insurance?
  832. 53:35 and meet you in six months.
  833. 53:37 What about Edwards?
  834. 53:38 I'll handle him.
  835. 53:40 Now go ahead, get out of town and hurry up.
  836. 53:42 And don't write.
  837. 53:44 I still don't get it.
  838. 53:45 That what?
  839. 53:46 What is this?
  840. 53:47 I grannies means.
  841. 53:51 You won't have them out there at the house at 4 o'clock, huh? Mm-hmm.
  842. 53:54 Hold on.
  843. 53:55 Oh, he'll be by, Sheriff. I'll see you there.
  844. 53:57 And what do you want us to do with this?
  845. 53:59 Oh, that's a very rare old instrument.
  846. 54:02 I've wanted it for such a long time.
  847. 54:04 And today the antique shop finally got it for me.
  848. 54:07 Well, good.
  849. 54:08 And I thought...
  850. 54:09 As long as Mr. Peabody's going out to the house anyway,
  851. 54:12 Perhaps he wouldn't mind taking it out there for me.
  852. 54:15 Why, of course not. He'd be proud to do that, wouldn't you, Abner?
  853. 54:18 But you must be very careful with it, Mr. Peabody.
  854. 54:22 After all, it's a Stradivarius. I thought you said it was a fiddle. Oh, and I think you'd better wear this, too. Uh-huh.
  855. 54:31 Oh, no, I don't want to wear no woman's bracelet. Oh, please, Mr. Peabody. It's a good luck charm to keep the ghost away.
  856. 54:40 Oh!
  857. 54:40 Well, I'll wear anything to keep them things away.
  858. 54:43 I was just thinking, Miss Carmen, while Abner's out the house, what don't me and you go for a ride in a canoe?
  859. 54:50 Good knowing.
  860. 54:51 Yeah, they got some dandy canoes out at Lincoln Park.
  861. 54:54 Two bits an hour. Oh, I'd love to go. I'll be there about four o'clock.
  862. 55:00 I'm a little late.
  863. 55:01 Wait for me. Oh, sure, of course I'll wait. Oh, I...
  864. 55:05 You're sure of that address now?
  865. 55:07 Yes, Mama.
  866. 55:09 820 West, uh... Laurel, the name of a tree. Oh, yeah, I know this story with a L. Yeah, I got it.
  867. 55:17 Well?
  868. 55:30 I never heard my watch tickle as loud as it tastes today.
  869. 55:39 Say, Sonny.
  870. 55:41 Uh, can you tell me where 820 West, uh...
  871. 55:45 820 West Block.
  872. 55:49 Oh, do you know any streets around here that's got names like trees?
  873. 55:53 Yes, there's lots.
  874. 55:54 There's oak.
  875. 55:55 Sycamore, cedar, elm, maple... That's it, that's it, elm. I know they started with the L. How far is that from here? I've got to be there at 4 o'clock.
  876. 56:05 Four?
  877. 56:06 You won't make it workin'.
  878. 56:08 Why not?
  879. 56:09 We got out of school at 3:00.
  880. 56:11 You must be put in your floor now.
  881. 56:13 Oh.
  882. 56:14 Well, he reckon you could give me a list on your bicycle? Sure, if you can fix it. Sprocket flips a little.
  883. 56:20 Oh.
  884. 56:22 Ah, here.
  885. 56:22 Hold that up and fix that thing in two seconds, further you believe.
  886. 56:26 Now.
  887. 56:29 Are you going there to take a violin lesson?
  888. 56:31 No, I mean, you know, I'm having enough trouble trying to learn how to...
  889. 56:34 Say, there's a funny noise in here.
  890. 56:37 Kind of a ticking noise.
  891. 56:40 Well, it must be termites. He said it was awful old.
  892. 56:46 What did you say was wrong with this?
  893. 56:48 Look, mister, didn't you have an appointment or something?
  894. 56:52 Why, no, I just...
  895. 56:54 All right, doggies, wait a minute. I did, too. Four o'clock, yes, sir. Well, you're late now, and I hate to see you miss it. You can get your bus right on the corner.
  896. 57:03 Back as one now, hurry! Oh, well, I hate to leave him this fix on him.
  897. 57:08 Oh, that's all right. I can carry it home in a paper sack.
  898. 57:12 Oh dear, mustn't do that. Oh, she can't hurt it, it's just an old fiddle. Better have her on while she's young. Here, hon, play with it all you want to. There. No, no, no, Dorothy, my mother. Do you know what time it is? No, I don't. It's after four, I think. How much after? Oh, I don't know, about ten minutes. Oh my goodness, Miss Carmen will kill me. Elm Street next. Elm.
  899. 57:54 Come on.
  900. 57:56 See, Harry? They're in there.
  901. 58:04 I can't get anything. The set is absolutely dead. Maybe it's too dangerous to communicate with us by radio.
  902. 58:12 Come on.
  903. 58:16 Mm-hmm.
  904. 58:17 Wait a minute.
  905. 58:20 I think I already had more sense than to ever let Lump talk me into this. If there ever was a haunted house, this is this.
  906. 58:30 Well...
  907. 58:37 There's someone coming. He's carrying a violent case.
  908. 58:40 Well, in case. Oh, then let's send him.
  909. 58:47 But I've used that one before. That means let him in.
  910. 58:50 I'm sorry.
  911. 59:09 Come on.
  912. 59:10 Mm-hmm.
  913. 59:12 Don't use bracelet if you're a good. You better do your work right now.
  914. 59:18 Come in, comrade.
  915. 59:19 Who said that? Come upstairs.
  916. 59:29 I hope somebody's either talking in here or I've lost my mom one of the two.
  917. 59:37 Come on.
  918. 59:39 And if you have any sense at all, you get out of here.
  919. 1:00:18 The loudest ghost driver heard my life.
  920. 1:00:22 This is Aunt Charity Spears' paper art remedy.
  921. 1:00:25 Cured me many a time.
  922. 1:00:28 Yeah.
  923. 1:00:29 Here, Law. I'll take this. Now, get away with that stuff.
  924. 1:00:32 Besides, I ain't having nothing to do with you, Mr. Peabody.
  925. 1:00:36 Skiddy cat.
  926. 1:00:38 Here's a ghost.
  927. 1:00:40 Too scared to sleep in a haunted house when I got a chance to make a thousand dollars.
  928. 1:00:44 I've told you a thousand or a hundred times I weren't a fear.
  929. 1:00:48 I got up there at the head of them stairs. Just draft the subject. I don't want to hear no more about it.
  930. 1:00:54 Well, at least I never got out in a canoe and fell in and kept a pneumonny.
  931. 1:00:59 What happened? Did Miss Carmen push you in? Now, you just keep her name out of it.
  932. 1:01:04 She never even showed up.
  933. 1:01:06 um,
  934. 1:01:08 All right, Granny's looking here, Abner. How? Alien saboteurs blown up in explosion.
  935. 1:01:13 Police search for a mystery man who planted bombs.
  936. 1:01:17 $10,000 reward awaiting unknown heroes.
  937. 1:01:21 Now, why couldn't we do something like that?
  938. 1:01:23 Yeah.
  939. 1:01:24 That's what we need, all right.
  940. 1:01:26 Here we ain't raised a cent so far, and it's my night time for you... Don't say that word now.
  941. 1:01:31 Yeah, that's right, ain't it?
  942. 1:01:34 How are you feeling, Hampton?
  943. 1:01:36 Well, I don't believe I ever felt better in my life.
  944. 1:01:39 Well, I...
  945. 1:01:40 Just natural.
  946. 1:01:41 Folks generally do feel good just before...
  947. 1:01:44 What?
  948. 1:01:46 Hey!
  949. 1:01:49 They do, huh?
  950. 1:01:50 What?
  951. 1:01:51 Hello?
  952. 1:01:52 Well, they come after me in one of them golden chariots.
  953. 1:01:55 I reckon so.
  954. 1:01:57 Will it have gold wheels on it? I suppose.
  955. 1:02:01 Well, reckon they can get the tar?
  956. 1:02:03 Well, you'll find out all them things when they come knocking at your door.
  957. 1:02:07 Do they knock on your door?
  958. 1:02:10 and speedbugs.
  959. 1:02:12 I know he's here early.
  960. 1:02:14 Mr. Peabody.
  961. 1:02:16 Oh.
  962. 1:02:17 How do you do, sir? We sort of expecting somebody else. I'm Professor Albert Frisbee, inventor of the Frisbee rocket ship.
  963. 1:02:26 Well, proud to meet you, Professor.
  964. 1:02:33 I thought you said you'd take my shoes off.
  965. 1:02:35 Why, dear love, I...
  966. 1:02:39 Oh, that's a good one on me, ain't it?
  967. 1:02:42 On you.
  968. 1:02:43 Which of you is the human daredevil? That's him right there. That is, if he is human.
  969. 1:02:49 I have an opportunity for you.
  970. 1:02:52 Yes, my good sir, you can be of inestimable service to the world of science.
  971. 1:02:58 Posterity will cherish your name.
  972. 1:03:01 Well, good for me. All you have to do is to ride in my rocket ship and carry a message to Mars. It's as simple.
  973. 1:03:09 is there.
  974. 1:03:11 till Mars.
  975. 1:03:12 Yes, and the Frisbee Planetary Research Foundation will pay $10,000 to the intrepid passenger.
  976. 1:03:22 Ten thousand dollars.
  977. 1:03:23 Just to ride in a boat?
  978. 1:03:25 Did you hear that, Abner? Yeah. I know that a boat tip might not do me no harm.
  979. 1:03:31 If I...
  980. 1:03:32 Just had time to make it.
  981. 1:03:33 Uh, whereabouts is this place more than? But surely you...
  982. 1:03:38 Yeah.
  983. 1:03:39 - No.
  984. 1:03:40 If you'll come to the window, I'll be glad to show you. Well... It must not be fur if we can see it from here. No, no.
  985. 1:03:48 Look here.
  986. 1:03:50 There!
  987. 1:03:51 In that direction.
  988. 1:03:54 Well, I don't see nothing up there but a bunch of stars. It's quite good. It's...
  989. 1:03:58 It's that one.
  990. 1:04:00 Ohhhh!
  991. 1:04:02 Uh, Professor...
  992. 1:04:04 This boat of yours, does it have gold wheels on it? Gold wheels? It's not what you're thinking, Abner.
  993. 1:04:11 I'm thinking this is one trip I ain't gonna make till my time comes. This is our big opportunity, Abner. $10,000. We can square things with everybody back home.
  994. 1:04:21 If I was in your position, I wouldn't hesitate a minute.
  995. 1:04:24 Well, how far is this place, Mars? Measured in light, yes. This year's measurement. Well, a few million miles, more or less, doesn't make much difference in heavenly bodies, does it?
  996. 1:04:36 Minion?
  997. 1:04:37 Yeah.
  998. 1:04:38 Oh, I thought maybe it was just thousands.
  999. 1:04:41 This trip's made to order for you, Abner. When you get there, you'll be right close to heaven.
  1000. 1:04:45 Ain't that right, Professor? In a manner of speaking, yes. Uh, whereabouts is the rocket ship at now? Out at the airport, adjacent to the cemetery.
  1001. 1:04:54 Uh-oh. Lob, this is one trip I ain't gonna make, and that's final.
  1002. 1:04:59 And I, doggie, this time it is final.
  1003. 1:05:03 You're never to said symmetry.
  1004. 1:05:06 Ladies and gentlemen.
  1005. 1:05:08 You have all had an opportunity to inspect.
  1006. 1:05:11 The frisbee rocket ship.
  1007. 1:05:14 My assistant, Professor Plunkett...
  1008. 1:05:17 is at the moment superintending the loading of the powerful charge that will send the ship on its long journey into space.
  1009. 1:05:26 I feel like I'm committing murder.
  1010. 1:05:28 This guy must be wacky.
  1011. 1:05:30 I'm going to go.
  1012. 1:05:32 No, Plunkett, Plunkett, aren't we ready yet?
  1013. 1:05:36 Say, Professor. Yes?
  1014. 1:05:37 If this guy does get to Mars,
  1015. 1:05:39 How does he get back?
  1016. 1:05:42 I'm glad you brought that up. Plunkett. Plunkett. Make a note of that.
  1017. 1:05:48 That should be my next experiment. Hey, Johnny, uh...
  1018. 1:05:52 You know, if it wasn't for me, Abner wouldn't be making this trip.
  1019. 1:05:56 My name's Lom Edwards.
  1020. 1:06:01 Fellow scientists, distinguished colleagues...
  1021. 1:06:05 Members of the press.
  1022. 1:06:08 Today, September the 17th.
  1023. 1:06:11 marks the, um...
  1024. 1:06:12 Give me a word, my dear. The realization. The realization of man's greatest dreams.
  1025. 1:06:18 This occasion will go down in the annals of science as a red letter day.
  1026. 1:06:25 September the 17th.
  1027. 1:06:28 September the 17th. Oh, my goodness. What we have with us today...
  1028. 1:06:34 A man whose name...
  1029. 1:06:36 We'll be linked...
  1030. 1:06:37 With that of, uh, uh, Galileo and... Hey, you!
  1031. 1:06:42 Get away from that! That's the plunger that sets off the rocket ship!
  1032. 1:06:46 Good night!
  1033. 1:06:49 Ladies and gentlemen,
  1034. 1:06:51 I give you Mr. Abner Peabody.
  1035. 1:06:56 Oh, Abner.
  1036. 1:06:58 Where about you at, Abner? Where is he? Where is that man? This can't happen to me. Wait a minute. What day is this? The 17th? Yes, yes, but what has that to do with it? I'll bound you on where he's at. You keep the rocket ship loaded and this crowd of people here and you come with me. Oh, dear.
  1037. 1:07:17 Can you get up?
  1038. 1:07:18 Uh, did Mr. Peabody come in?
  1039. 1:07:21 Oh.
  1040. 1:07:23 Did Mr. Peabody come... That's a nasty cold you have, Mr. Edwards. Doing anything for it? Yeah, just made it worse. Please, has Mr. Peabody come in here? Yes, he went up to his room a short time ago. Oh, much obliged. Come, we must hire... Mr. Edwards, have you seen a doctor...
  1041. 1:07:40 Oh, I ain't got time for that.
  1042. 1:07:42 To Abner from Abner.
  1043. 1:07:44 The finest man I ever know.
  1044. 1:07:46 Yeah, I sent me all these.
  1045. 1:07:48 Here lies the honest bones of a man named Abner Peabert.
  1046. 1:07:52 Grounds, bones, bones.
  1047. 1:07:54 Say, would you consider changing your name to Jones?
  1048. 1:07:56 Ha.
  1049. 1:07:59 Abner, you weren't going to run away like that. Get up from there. We've got to go through with this or we're sunk.
  1050. 1:08:05 I'm gonna lay right here and sink in comfort.
  1051. 1:08:09 You can't do this to me. The whole scientific world is waiting. My reputation is at stake.
  1052. 1:08:17 And what about Grandma Masters and all them others?
  1053. 1:08:20 If I was in your position, I wouldn't hesitate a minute.
  1054. 1:08:24 Come in.
  1055. 1:08:25 I'm Dr. Leach.
  1056. 1:08:27 The desk clerk suggested that I...
  1057. 1:08:29 Good grief.
  1058. 1:08:35 What is this man, paranoid?
  1059. 1:08:37 Couldn't say. I never hoied.
  1060. 1:08:42 That's it.
  1061. 1:08:43 Tell me all about your aches and pains. Whatever's wrong with you.
  1062. 1:08:46 Well, there ain't nothing wrong with me. Lobb's the one that's ailing. I'm just dying. Dying? Oh, yes, of course.
  1063. 1:08:53 Mm-hmm.
  1064. 1:08:57 Well...
  1065. 1:08:58 Oh, don't do that now. Can't take it, Colt. Nonsense. You're as sound as a dollar.
  1066. 1:09:03 Get up out of that bed.
  1067. 1:09:04 Come on, get up like a man. You're in excellent condition.
  1068. 1:09:08 You mean I ain't gonna die? Not for a long, long time, barring accident.
  1069. 1:09:12 All right, don't get you hear that.
  1070. 1:09:15 Congratulations, chum, and salutations. You've just been suffering hallucinations. Please, Mr. Peabody, if it's more money that you want... Don't slow.
  1071. 1:09:24 Respiration ragged.
  1072. 1:09:27 In bad shape, old fellow.
  1073. 1:09:28 Oh!
  1074. 1:09:29 Where did you get that idea?
  1075. 1:09:30 If I were prescribing for you, I'd give you about two weeks of... Two weeks?
  1076. 1:09:34 Did you hear that, Abner? I'm done for in two weeks. You are done for? What about me?
  1077. 1:09:39 What about my rocket ship?
  1078. 1:09:41 ever since I was a boy back in 1891. All right, all right, Professor, all right. Come on, let's get out of here, Lon. You mean you'll do it? Let's get out of here. Oh, he starts another one of them long-winded speeches I hear from you.
  1079. 1:09:55 I know you weren't no coward.
  1080. 1:10:00 So long, fellas. Have a good trip.
  1081. 1:10:02 Happy landing from the rocket ship.
  1082. 1:10:06 Well?
  1083. 1:10:08 Come on, Robert, let's go back to washing windows.
  1084. 1:10:11 You know...
  1085. 1:10:12 It's a shame those nice old fellas have to risk their lives to save the money of their friends.
  1086. 1:10:17 Oh, my God.
  1087. 1:10:23 Hello?
  1088. 1:10:24 Hello, is that the Peabody or the Lamed was there? No, they just left for the airport.
  1089. 1:10:28 Where?
  1090. 1:10:29 The airport!
  1091. 1:10:30 They're gonna take a rocket ship to Mars.
  1092. 1:10:32 Look, I have got to get in touch with them. I've sold their right-of-ways to another railroad for $20,000.
  1093. 1:10:37 Well, for heaven's sake, catch him
  1094. 1:10:39 Stop them there!
  1095. 1:10:40 If they can raise that much money, they don't have to risk their lives in that crazy invention.
  1096. 1:10:51 Grover!
  1097. 1:10:54 Robert!
  1098. 1:10:55 Prober! 9,000...
  1099. 1:11:03 Ten thousand.
  1100. 1:11:07 Abner! Abner! Get me out of that thing!
  1101. 1:11:10 I don't get away the minute. I've changed my mind. I ain't going to do it. Please, Mr. Peabody.
  1102. 1:11:16 Oh, sir, I can't afford to have Lum take that kind of a risk.
  1103. 1:11:20 Hey, Abner!
  1104. 1:11:21 Don't take that money. This is too dangerous. Abner!
  1105. 1:11:24 Abner! Mr. Peabody, I've devoted my whole life to the perfection of this machine.
  1106. 1:11:31 And now, when I'm on the very threshold of my triumph, you've spoiled everything. Well, Professor, I don't want to fall.
  1107. 1:11:50 Bob! Bob! Come back here! I'm going after you say something.
  1108. 1:12:02 Mr. Peabody. Oh, am I glad to see you. I've just had an offer for your right-of-way. Huh? Yes, $20,000 minus legal fees and taxes. Uh-oh. How much do you owe you this time? You don't owe me a cent. That's $17,500 net to you. $17,500 net to me? That's right. Why, with that much money, I can pay off them stockholders down home and show them a profit on the end there. That's why I advise you to accept it, Mr. Peabody.
  1109. 1:12:31 in here five minutes
  1110. 1:13:23 Nine miles.
  1111. 1:13:36 My granny's a mountain I made it. Good for me.
