00:25 [music]
00:28 Okay, Chief. I'll get on it right away.
00:31 Dick Tracy calling Joe Jitsu, calling Joe Jitsu.
00:34 Joe Jitsu are listening.
00:36 Report from Border Patrol that parrots are being smuggled across border.
00:40 And the International Trucks, BBIs, and Flat Top have been spotted in the vicinity.
00:44 Check their on-the-spot movements.
00:46 A Joe finished spot of tea, then most joyful journey to spot on border.
00:51 [music]
00:57 Okay, now once again from the beginning.
01:00 I was born in New York.
01:03 I was born in New York.
01:06 Very good. Okay, next.
01:09 Now this time get it right.
01:11 I was born in New Jersey.
01:14 I was born in New Jersey.
01:17 No, I cannot tell a lie.
01:19 I was born in Mexico, and I am proud of it.
01:24 Hey, BBIs.
01:26 Yeah, what you want, Flat Top?
01:28 This bird doesn't read his lines right.
01:31 He needs another lesson.
01:33 [laughs]
01:35 All right, bird brain.
01:37 Shall we start? Now repeat after me.
01:40 May be observed if cross over border line, so pass under border line.
01:46 Building is obvious decoy.
01:49 But Joe Jitsu will not be fooled.
01:52 This fear like backward formula job.
01:55 One, parrot come from egg.
01:58 Two, buy eggs from store.
02:01 Three, find store, wait for person to buy parrot eggs.
02:06 Follow to hideout.
02:08 Hey, BBIs, looks like trouble.
02:11 That sneaky Joe Jitsu just jittered by.
02:15 Go get another batch to hatch.
02:17 Then we'll flee across the border for good.
02:20 And that's flat.
02:22 La-da-dee-da-da.
02:25 50 dozen parrot eggs.
02:28 La-da-dee-dee-dee-dee.
02:30 I use a very clever disguise to fool BBIs.
02:34 Sure you did, copper. But how do you like this topper?
02:37 [laughs]
02:39 Hold everything, please.
02:42 Joe Jitsu calling Dick Tracy.
02:45 Come in, Joe. Is everything all right?
02:47 Everything very well down here.
02:50 Everything look very well.
02:52 Good work, Joe. I know you'll come out on top.
02:56 Faster, BBIs. Turn the incubators higher.
03:00 We have to make tracks.
03:03 They're already high enough to hatch ostriches.
03:06 I can't get the last few in.
03:08 Then fake it, man, fake it.
03:11 All right, but I don't like it.
03:13 Well, Joe Jitsu thought this place was decoy.
03:17 But now I have sitting ducks.
03:19 I'll do all the things I do to make a dishonest dopper.
03:23 Okay, Mommy Parrot.
03:25 I have you covered like you cover nest.
03:28 So sorry.
03:30 Ten, five, zero.
03:35 Careful. I have very happy trigger finger.
03:39 Oh, pardon, madam.
03:41 Such a nice day.
03:43 We thought we'd take the children for a ride.
03:47 This is asking routine question before crossing border.
03:52 For example, where are the babies born?
03:56 I was born in New York.
04:00 I was born in Mexico.
04:03 And they are smugglers.
04:06 Parrot, you're a stool pigeon.
04:09 One side copper, and here's the other side.
04:14 And I am on the side of the rock.
04:17 It's good to see you back, Joe.
04:22 How did you make out?
04:24 Have installed smugglers in jail.
04:27 Border line case closed.
04:29 Good going, Joe.
04:31 The department can always depend on you.
04:33 Are there any more problems?
04:34 Have few small problems,
04:36 like finding homes for newly hatched batch of parrots.
04:40 Rats of rock.
