00:00In the light, the little man
00:28On a ship of dreams, you'll sail
00:40Dreams are made for children
00:48And a dream is a fairy tale
00:56Good evening, I'm your storyteller, Shirley Temple
01:00From the time Henry Hudson and his crew disappeared without sign or trace
01:04The Capgills have been a place of wonder and enchantment
01:08Tonight, one of its most treasured legends, Rip Van Winkle
01:12You're a queen, you're a king
01:18When your heart's young as spring
01:22Oh, how bright the world can seem
01:30Dreams are made for children
01:38And we're children
01:42As long as we can dream
01:50Have you ever wondered what would happen if you fell asleep and slept for 20 years?
02:00In this vast and furious age, just imagine the changes you'd find when you woke up
02:04But much more important than the changes in things are the changes in people
02:08Our story starts in a quaint little village at the foot of the Catskills
02:12The year is 1770
02:16Lofty and brooding
02:18This range has long served as a locale for those weird and wonderful tales so loved by children
02:24And no one loved them better than Rip Van Winkle
02:28A child despite his years
02:30Many were the stories he related of his adventures in these enchanted mountains
02:36To the children of the village, Rip was a constant delight
02:40To his wife, alas, a constant despair
02:44You know the trouble with you and me, Wolf
02:48We're born shiftless
02:50And everybody knows it
02:52Even my daughter Judith
02:54Although she loves me too much to admit it
02:58I never should have let myself be talked into getting married
03:02Except I was too lazy to talk myself out of it
03:06I never did like to hurt a person's feelings
03:10Especially my old dame's
03:12Seeing it's all my fault, she soured into a shrew
03:16She was sweet as new milk when I wed her
03:20No, that's the truth by Haneke
03:22I may be a shiftless fellow who fools whoever he can
03:26Only a real fool would ever try to fool himself
03:30And that much of a fool, I ain't
03:34Hi, Rip!
03:36Hey, Rip!
03:38Hello, Judy, my love!
03:42Papa! Papa!
03:48I've been looking for you everywhere
03:50Here I am, large as life and twice as natural
03:54Where have you been?
03:58Mama's been searching all over for you
04:00I've been hunting, my precious
04:02Look!
04:04Two of the fattest coonies that ever hip hopped across the Catskills
04:08Two rabbits?
04:10Then what took you so long?
04:12I ain't been gone that long, my precious
04:14You've been gone since yesterday
04:16I was terrible lonesome for you, Papa
04:18And Mama was too
04:20Since yesterday, me?
04:30You know, that must have been powerful strong barley water
04:32Nicholas Vedder was serving at the King George Inn yesterday
04:36Is Mama angry?
04:38Mama says you're gonna get the groom if you're not back home by noon
04:40And it's nearly that now
04:42She's really, Papa
04:44She said that, didn't she?
04:46You heard that, Wolf?
04:50Hello! Hello, Lieutenant!
04:52Where have you been, Rip?
04:54Hiding for Jane Van Winkle again?
04:56I'd be a poor kind of critter
04:58If I hid from any flesh-and-blood woman smarty bricks
05:00My good dame least of all
05:02Why do you hide from her, Rip?
05:04He doesn't hide from her
05:06He does, too, up in the mountains
05:08He doesn't go up into the Catskills to hide from no one
05:10Not even good King George himself
05:12Then why does he go?
05:14To do all sorts of important things
05:16To explore
05:18Oh, Fred, there's just a lot of old rocks and trees
05:20It's not just a lot of old rocks and trees
05:22Is it, Papa?
05:24Oh, no, indeed, my precious
05:26No, indeed
05:28The Catskill Mountains and me
05:30We share secrets
05:32What kind of secrets?
05:34I hope you don't think my Papa's gonna blab our private secrets all over the place
05:42He can't because he ain't got any
05:45Pardon me, young smarty bricks
05:47It just so happens that I have seen some mighty strange and wonderful things in these mountains
05:53Hinkum dinkum, I have
05:55Such as?
05:56Yes, what, Terry?
05:58Now, if I tell you some of the things I've seen
06:01Do you all promise never to tell a living soul?
06:05Promise
06:07Promise
06:09Well
06:15One thing
06:22I've seen
06:23Caves
06:25With
06:26Gray pewter mugs
06:28That the giants drink from
06:30And when you look into them
06:32You can see yourself clear as in a looking glass
06:35Hinkum dinkum?
06:37Hinkum dinkum
06:39How come you didn't bring one down with you?
06:43I'm glad you asked me that
06:45For one thing, they're too heavy to carry
06:48And for another, they are guarded by all kinds of strange and fearful creatures
06:54What kind, Rep?
06:58Well
06:59One is a great big shaboosalum
07:03Taller than any hemlock
07:05And there's lots of little skinnamarinks that scurry around among the stones
07:09The Catskills is jammed full of hobgoblins and demons
07:16Any engine will tell you that
07:19Papa, let's go home
07:21Mama's waiting
07:23Ghost of who, for instance
07:24Did any of you hear the call
07:28The Great Henrik Hudson?
07:30No
07:31Well, you should
07:32He was the first man to discover this country
07:34They named the river after him
07:36Oh, that one
07:38He's been dead for donkey years
07:40Oh, it's not what you think, is it?
07:43Well, listen, smarty van Leyden
07:45The Great Henrik Hudson comes back to these mountains every twenty years
07:51And he don't come alone, neither by anarchy
07:54Who comes with him?
07:55The whole crew of his ship, the Half Moon
08:00They all tag along
08:02You don't mean his books, do you, Papa?
08:06Well, they ain't flesh and blood, that's for sure
08:08I don't believe a word of it
08:10If Papa says it's so, it's so, smarty bricks
08:14Yeah
08:17You hear that?
08:19Yeah, it was thunder
08:21Thunder
08:22That was no thunder, smarty van Leyden
08:25What was it then?
08:28Ninepins
08:30Yes, ninepins
08:32Don't tell them anymore, Papa
08:35Uh, who'd be playing ninepins up there?
08:39The Great Henrik Hudson and his crew, that's who
08:43Yes, that's who
08:44Yes, that's who
08:51Papa, let's go home
08:52It's ain't no good reason for me to sit around here talking all day
08:54Bye, Henrik
08:55Come along, my precious
08:56Wolf, come on
08:58Van Kimmel is right
09:00The Boston Tea Party won't solve nothing
09:04What do we gain if we throw out the greatest king?
09:07A French king or a Spanish king, maybe?
09:11Out of one frying pan into another
09:14Now that is defeatist talk from Dutch
09:17This country is fighting for its freedom
09:20For its own government
09:22Here, here, here, ah
09:24Grow up, Van Kimmel
09:26One government's as wicked as another
09:28He's right by Henrik
09:30There would be no need for Boston tea parties
09:33If Peter Stuyvesant was still alive
09:36He would still be a law-abiding Dutch colony
09:41Right again
09:42Now, you keep out of this rip
09:44You'd be for any government that didn't make you work
09:47Here comes Dame Van Winkle
09:54I thought I'd find you here
09:58Good day to you, Dame Van Winkle
10:01Don't you good day me, Rob Dutcher
10:02Now, now, my love
10:04The whole village watching and laughing behind their aprons
10:06Thinking what a fool I am to put up with your worthless ways another minute
10:09And this is where the trouble always starts
10:12A man can't help being what he is, Dame Van Winkle
10:16I know you all think I'm a shrew
10:19And that's because I'm the only one who cares enough about him to get him to mend his ways
10:24Rips rip
10:25Not you nor anyone else can make him change his ways
10:29But he doesn't have to lie down and give in to it
10:32What would happen if I did that?
10:34Who'd slay their fingers to the bone to see that our children are clothed instead?
10:38But he?
10:40He's never lifted a finger to do an honest day's work yet
10:44And he never will as long as you encourage him
10:46And buy him ale
10:48You know he's got the weakest head for ale in the whole of the Catskills
10:51You're wrong, ma'am
10:53When Rip leaves our company
10:55He's always sober as a judge
10:58Never a taint of liquor on his breath
11:00I didn't think to hear such lies from the local schoolmaster, Mr. Kimmel
11:05I should have known you all heard together to protect him
11:08Rip Van Winkle, come you home
11:21That's the trouble with women
11:23Always trying to make a man over into something he ain't
11:26And then hollering like geese because he turns out worse than ever
11:30Poor dame Van Winkle
11:32She tries her best
11:33She is right
11:35We are a bad influence
11:37No, he ain't
11:39He's a bad influence
11:41No, he isn't
11:42There isn't a mean bone in him
11:44He's a born dreamer
11:46With his head forever in the clouds
11:49He could never change his ways
11:51Even if he wanted to
11:57Come inside, there's some soup warming on the stove
12:00You mean you ain't gonna clobber me with the broom again?
12:03If I thought it'd do you any good, I would
12:05But you're past hope, Rip
12:07Oh, don't say that
12:08Look at the nice bad conies I brought you
12:21Come on, Wolf
12:22Now, don't you bring that dog in here
12:23He's as worthless as you are
12:24Outside, Wolf
12:25You go play lions and tigers with Judy
12:27Go on
12:37Mmm, if that don't smell real good, I left my nose in a fork of a pine tree
12:50You sure you wouldn't feel better if you clobbered me with the broom?
12:54No
12:57Sit and eat
13:07I've made up my mind, Rip
13:11I'm going to sell the cottage and go and live with my folks
13:14Me and the children
13:16The free man again
13:18You never talked to me like that before, no matter how angry you got, my love
13:23I prefer clobbering any time
13:29I thought there was hope you are bothered
13:32Never change, Rip
13:33Not for the better, which is all I care about
13:37I haven't been a good provider
13:39No, you haven't
13:41And I guess a person could say
13:43I've been a bad father
13:45No, you haven't
13:47You just haven't been a father at all
13:49Yet I love them
13:51Maybe you do
13:54In your own way
13:57But it's not enough, Rip
13:59I guess I wouldn't like him to grow up like me instead of like you
14:03If that's what you mean
14:06Finish your soup
14:07I ain't hungry no more
14:09Yes, you are
14:10Now try to get it down, you'll need it
14:11Mama, these are for you so you won't be angry with Papa
14:21Thank you, Judith
14:25I'm not angry with your father, though
14:27Oh, good, Wolf will be pleased
14:29I'm not angry with your father, though
14:31Mama, these are for you so you won't be angry with Papa
14:35Thank you, Judith
14:37I'm not angry with your father, though
14:39Oh, good, Wolf will be pleased
14:40I'm not angry with your father, though
14:42Oh, good, Wolf will be pleased
14:57You think maybe there's still a little bit of hope left for me yet?
15:00I don't mean a bushel, but
15:03Maybe enough for you to give me one more chance
15:06Oh, Rip
15:08You've been asking me for one more chance since the day I wed you
15:11What happened when I kept giving it to you?
15:14You acted just the same as you had before
15:17I turned into a sour, bad-tempered old woman
15:21You're not sour and old, my love
15:24I feel old
15:27I feel like I've been married to for twenty years instead of ten
15:31That's not right
15:33Twenty years isn't a long time once a person decided to make the best of it
15:36Twenty years is a lifetime, Rip Van Winkle
15:39And a person only gets one
15:45I'd be lost without you
15:48I'm lost by anarchy
15:51No more lost than you were with me
15:54How are you gonna get back to your folks?
15:57You can't walk it, and there's no money to go by coach
15:59Yes, there is
16:01Witterbrocker's willing to pay ten pounds for this house and the land that stands on
16:04I said to her I'd take it
16:06But we gave fifteen for it only ten years ago
16:09And since then we've let the house go to ruin and the ground go to waste
16:12We're lucky to get ten for it
16:14And wouldn't you know you didn't sign the deed when we bought it?
16:18I didn't?
16:19No, you didn't
16:20And I can't sell to the Witterbrocker till you have
16:21I'll do it right this minute
16:24Certainly, my love
16:30Rip
16:35Van
16:42It's giving it away a ten
16:43Winkle
16:44Winkle
16:46Winkle
16:48He'll tide me over till I'm on my feet
16:52There
16:54I didn't forget it's Young Rip's dinner time
16:58Now can I trust you to take that deed to the Witterbrocker and bring me back to ten pounds?
17:02Be happy to, my love
17:04You go straight there and come straight back
17:07I'll be back before you can say Skittles and Ale
17:21Well, I always said it would come Wolf
17:23And it's come
17:25She's quit me
17:26I haven't figured out yet how he'll feel about it
17:37I'm pretty certain to take it bad for a while
17:40Man don't like giving up old habits
17:43Even unsuitable ones like being married
17:48Come on, Wolf
17:49Come on Wolf
17:56Papa
18:00What were you and Wolf talking about?
18:03I was just saying my precious that
18:06No matter what I do
18:08No matter how it looks to you at the time
18:11It's only for your own good in the end
18:14Because I love you very, very much
18:17You don't have to tell me that, Papa
18:22I don't?
18:24I'm glad
18:26You never do anything except what's right for you to do
18:30I try, my precious
18:33I try by Henneke
18:44Papa!
18:45Papa!
18:48Papa, where you going?
18:50Going to call on the widow Brocker
18:52She's not in
18:53I saw her go off to collect firewood
18:55Oh!
18:56Oh, she went that way
18:58Well, in that case, I can't call on her, can I?
19:01I better go tell your mama
19:07No, that wouldn't do any good
19:09I better go look for her
19:13Can I come too?
19:15Oh, sure!
19:19No
19:22You go and tell your mama that, uh, although you love me very much
19:27You love her just a little bit more
19:29But that's not true, Papa
19:30Well, you tell her anyway because, uh, that's what she needs just now
19:36Yes, Papa
19:40Widow Brocker!
19:42Widow Brocker!
19:44Are you anywheres near here?
19:46Maybe I'll go back and see if she'll give me one more chance
19:49What's the matter with you? Got the sniffles or something?
19:54The fattest coney I've seen this summer
19:56Come on, after it
19:58It'll make a fine peace offering
19:59I don't care how fat he was
20:21I'm as wheezy as a widow Brocker's old cow
20:24You know what I'm wondering, Wolf
20:27I'm wondering whether my old dame has had a change of heart by now
20:32What's the matter?
20:34You afraid my old dame has followed us all the way up here?
20:38What kind of a flea got into your ear lately, Wolf?
20:40You're acting more like a lap dog than a hunting hound every day
20:44Rip Van Winkle!
20:47That's my name
20:49Rip Van Winkle!
20:52Ain't nobody I know
20:53Not by the voice it ain't
20:54Rip Van Winkle!
20:58Go see who it is
21:00Go see who it is, quick!
21:01What are you afraid of?
21:03Rip Van Winkle!
21:08That's me all right
21:10What you want?
21:15Rip Van Winkle!
21:16Ain't nobody from our village or I'm a Mohawk Injun
21:22Rip Van Winkle!
21:24Ain't nobody from this whole neck of the woods or I'm a tribe of Mohawk Injuns
21:28Rip Van Winkle!
21:29Don't shout like that, you'll start a landslide that'll send us both to Glory Doodle Dump
21:34Hold your harness, I'm coming!
21:36Hold your harness, I'm coming!
21:37Hold your harness, I'm coming!
21:38Who but our Rip, simple and guileless, would have followed this strange little man?
22:00Oh, good idea! Keeps it cool!
22:09You strange around these parts?
22:13Where do you live?
22:17Kinda cold in winter, isn't it?
22:25You lived here long?
22:27Alone?
22:28Married?
22:39The path grew steeper, the rocks sharper, and Rip's breath shorter as they approached the summit
22:46Never had the mountains seemed so stark, so wild, so lonely
22:58Your people
23:01Yo, here, whole
23:06Where are they wrong?
23:08Yo-dee-fo, yo-dee-fo, let a roll!
23:23Yo-dee-fo, yo-dee-fo, let a roll!
23:38Yo-dee-fo, let a roll!
24:02Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here.
24:04It's Rip Van Winkle.
24:06Rip Van Winkle.
24:08Rip Van Winkle.
24:10Rip Van Winkle.
24:14Stand back. Stand back.
24:16Wait for the captain. Wait for the captain.
24:18Heave, Blyarty, heave.
24:22Heave, Blyarty, heave.
24:24Heave.
24:34Can we move?
24:38Come you here.
24:49Do you know me?
24:51No, Your Honor.
24:53Think again.
24:57I'm sorry, Your Honor, but I have never made the pleasure of your acquaintance until now.
25:02Yet you made free enough with my name.
25:06Oh, no, Your Honor, you're mistaken.
25:08Mistaken am I?
25:10Who am I?
25:12Henry Cudson!
25:14Henry Cudson?
25:16The only...
25:20But he was a big man.
25:22Am I a liar?
25:24Oh, no, no, no, Your Honor. No, no, no.
25:27How could I be bigger than I am?
25:30I remember now.
25:32Henry Cudson was a small man.
25:36Was?
25:37He's a small man.
25:41Small?
25:43Large.
25:44Hearken to the man that boasts to mortals that he knows me.
25:50Only to children, Your Honor.
25:52The crime is even greater.
25:54What concern is it to children that we ashamed return here?
26:00None.
26:01Then how knew you that we did?
26:03I didn't.
26:04I invented you.
26:06Invented us!
26:08Invented us?
26:10Well, I don't know what I did, Your Honor.
26:12Only I meant no harm.
26:14Have you a wife?
26:16I have, Your Honor.
26:17He has a wife.
26:18He has a wife.
26:19He has a wife.
26:20Children?
26:21Two.
26:22Two.
26:23Two.
26:24Then listen to what I say.
26:27For on your answer, hands or feet?
26:31Does your life want for a better mate?
26:34And do your children want for a better father?
26:37What if I answer that they don't want for a better one?
26:43Then they shall never want for someone better.
26:46And if I answer they do want for someone better?
26:50We'll drink to it.
26:52Drink to it?
26:53Drink to it?
27:07I don't drink to it.
27:08hamburger
27:25seulement

27:30just
27:31go
27:32不要
27:33本当
27:34o
27:36What is your answer?
27:39I could think better, Your Honor, if my mouth were not so dry.
27:43Your answer first?
27:45Well, it's, um, hard to say, Your Honor.
27:49Any man would like to serve his dame and children in the way that benefits them best.
27:54We're not talking of any man, but you!
28:06Oh, that would never be me. I know myself too well.
28:25We await your decision, Van Winkle.
28:36I would serve my dame and children best by ceasing to distress them.
28:43Is that the right answer?
28:46Be your own judge of that.
28:55Because you cannot be Tea remains?
29:02And you will?"
29:03Yes.
29:06At the same time, you shall do not be anyone else.
29:10This aircraft does not go to that left.
29:14I don't believe that a full surge looks so bad.
29:17I will expand my direction.
29:19It should depend on anything else.
29:22Oh, my God.
29:52Oh, my God.
30:22Oh, my God.
30:52The dwarves Rip met on the mountain were the ghosts of Henry Hudson and his men.
30:57No one really knows what ever happened to them.
30:59But we have a more immediate concern.
31:01What will happen to Rip?
31:22The dwarves Rip?
31:31The dwarves Rip?
31:33The dwarves Rip?
32:05Wolf.
32:07Yeah, Wolf.
32:10Darn that no good hound.
32:35Darn those no good low moonshining skeletons.
32:42Took my gun and left me this old piece of scrap.
32:47Darn those no good low moonshining skeletons.
32:54Took my gun and left me this old piece of scrap.
33:00Never should have taken that second drink.
33:04Never should have taken that second drink.
33:09Never should have taken the first one.
33:13Boy, Henneke.
33:16That's the last drink I ever take.
33:20That's a solemn vow.
33:23Wait till my old dame hears that.
33:26Oh.
33:28Oh.
33:29What did my old dame say when she sees me like this?
33:46I better go to Braum Dutchess get cleaned up before I get in that door.
33:56His bones creaking with every step, Rip started the long trek home.
34:01Like a sleepwalker, he entered the town.
34:04It was different somehow, like the figment of a dream.
34:08Even the children were strange, hostile.
34:11We ain't seen your own before.
34:14Hey, take off your hat and let the bats fly out.
34:17Yeah, and get a haircut too.
34:19There!
34:21Gone completely was the calm peace of the village he remembered.
34:26Soldiers.
34:27What were they doing here?
34:29And people crowding the square.
34:32Everyone hurrying, scurrying.
34:42What's the matter, old man? Are you lost?
34:44Huh?
34:45Are you lost?
34:46I guess I must be.
34:48Why is everyone rushing so?
34:50What particular place are you looking for?
34:52Well, it ain't just one, ma'am.
34:53It's a whole heap of places that seem to have disappeared.
34:56Well, do you live here?
34:57Well, I used to be, but now I'm not so sure.
35:01What's your name?
35:02Rip Van Winkle.
35:03Oh, I never heard of it.
35:05Do you remember where you live?
35:07Yes.
35:08Over there.
35:11Well, that was clever of you.
35:13That's the town hall.
35:14Where's my house?
35:16I don't know if you don't know.
35:19Here he comes.
35:20Here he comes.
35:21Here he comes.
35:22Hooray for Julie.
35:23Hey, Julie for conference.
35:24Oh, Julie.
35:25Hooray for Julie.
35:26Hooray for Julie.
35:27Julie's about.
35:28Here he comes.
35:29Here he comes.
35:30Here he comes.
35:31Here he comes.
35:33Get up there, sir.
35:34Right up there.
35:35Thank you, sir.
35:36Here we go.
35:37Thank you, ma'am.
35:38Here we go.
35:39And on the anniversary of our victory, this glorious day, October the 21st, 1793, our republic
35:55is ten years old, good citizens.
35:58Hush, hush.
36:01But is the rejoicing universal as it should be?
36:05No.
36:06No.
36:07Good citizens.
36:08We are still nursing secret vipers to our bosoms.
36:12There are still traitors to liberty, skulking in our midst.
36:17Well, look who's here.
36:22Where did you appear from, stranger?
36:24I've been up in the mountain all night.
36:26You look like you've been there much longer than that.
36:29I don't recall having seen you before.
36:32What's your name?
36:33What is your business here?
36:35I live here how I used to.
36:38Are you sure you didn't get lost and come to the wrong town?
36:43Maybe I did.
36:44Well, what town are you looking for?
36:47Georgeville.
36:48Georgeville?
36:50That's what this town was called once, but it is not called that now.
36:54What are you called now?
36:56Washingtonville.
36:57Why?
36:58Why?
36:59Why?
37:00Are you a federal or a democrat, mister?
37:03I ain't neither.
37:04So, that's why you came into this town with a gun in your hand and on election day.
37:12Why?
37:13Do you intend to start a riot and disturb the peace?
37:17Oh, no.
37:18Indeed, sir.
37:19Hinkum dinkum.
37:20I'm a law-abiding, loyal subject of the king.
37:23God bless him.
37:24He's a friend!
37:25Help him!
37:26Help him!
37:27Friend!
37:28Allow your candidate for Congress to handle this affair, please.
37:32Now, if you know what's good for you, you'll tell the truth.
37:35I'm trying to, sir, but I'm powerful flustered.
37:38So, you're a loyal subject of the king, are you?
37:42I try to be.
37:43Did you hear that, Mr. Dunkel?
37:45I did, sir, and more's the pity.
37:47So, you're for the king of England, eh?
37:51Why?
37:52Ain't you?
37:53Well, how dare you?
37:57You're the lawyer here, Mr. Dunkel.
38:01Would you say that this call for a civil trial or a military court?
38:05Well, I think that's best decided after we have the ruffians safely under lock and key, Mr. Tooley, sir.
38:09I agree.
38:10Sergeant?
38:13I'm coming, sir!
38:14Sergeant!
38:15Would you please be so good as to remove this traitor to the town jail?
38:20Sergeant!
38:21Trader, what have I done?
38:24Doesn't anybody remember Rip Van Winkle?
38:27Rip Van Winkle?
38:28Rip Van Winkle?
38:30I knew the whole family.
38:32It's old Brom Dutcher, Mr. Tooley, sir.
38:34Well, bring him forward.
38:37Brom Dutcher?
38:39Is that you?
38:40I'd like to know who else it is, if it ain't.
38:43Brom Dutcher, do you identify this man as Rip Van Winkle?
38:50Sure, Brom, you know me.
38:56Nah, you're no more Rip Van Winkle than I am.
38:59Ha!
39:00Are you certain?
39:01Sure, I'm certain.
39:03The Rip I knew was fair-haired and straight as a tree.
39:07You weren't the same either, Brom.
39:10You changed.
39:11Changed?
39:12Who's changed?
39:13I'm the same as I ever was.
39:16And if you was Rip, I'd spot you in a minute.
39:19But you are not.
39:21Well, that's good enough for me.
39:24Get moving, if you please.
39:26Doesn't anyone remember poor old Rip Van Winkle?
39:33Pardon me, Mrs. Gardiner?
39:35Yes?
39:36Wasn't your maiden name Van Winkle?
39:39Why, yes, it was.
39:40Are you acquainted with a person by the name of Rip Van Winkle?
39:44I'm sorry to say I am. He's my brother.
39:47Oh, no, this fella's old enough to be your grandfather.
39:50What fella?
39:51An old man they arrested in the street for treason against the Republic.
39:55He's a long white beard down to here, and he calls himself Rip Van Winkle.
40:02My father's name was Rip, but he died 20 years ago.
40:05Then this old coot's either crazy or he's lying.
40:09Pardon me again.
40:10Good day.
40:11Good day.
40:17What's this?
40:18That's not your real name.
40:19How's that?
40:20Well, he can't be Rip Van Winkle.
40:21We already have a Rip Van Winkle in here for idling and vagrancy.
40:36So, you're trying to conceal your true identity, are you?
40:40I was born and baptized Rip Van Winkle.
40:43Well, we'll settle that soon enough.
40:46Jailor, fix the real Van Winkle.
40:48Yes, sir.
40:49Yes, sir.
40:50And what?
40:51Sergeant, turn out his pocket.
40:53All right, sir.
40:54Well, I won't have anything in my pockets.
41:06No?
41:08What about this?
41:09What is it?
41:10As if he didn't know.
41:11Hey, it's a deed of tum-to.
41:13Oh, glory to the tum.
41:15This is the deed I was supposed to give to the widow Brockie yesterday.
41:20I'll never hear the end of this for my good dame.
41:22Who got them off?
41:23Yesterday.
41:24It dated 1763.
41:26Let me see that.
41:28The acre of land lying between Two Peg Lane and Deeker's hog sheds.
41:34Who did you steal this from?
41:37I didn't steal it.
41:38Oh, I'll come, sir.
41:39Oh, no.
41:40Hinkum dinkum.
41:41It's mine.
41:42I'm supposed to get 10 pounds for it from the widow Brockie.
41:45Here's the real Rip Van Winkle.
41:47And no one knows it better than us.
41:55He's hardly ever out of here.
41:57Are you, you loafer?
41:58Why should I be?
41:59You give me a warm bed and you feed me good?
42:02You know who this old man is?
42:06It's me.
42:08Never set eyes on him before in my life.
42:11What's he arrested for?
42:13So you still claim your name is Rip Van Winkle, eh?
42:19I don't know.
42:22Yes or no?
42:24I'm all mixed up.
42:27There's no doubt about that.
42:29Now we're asking you for a straight answer.
42:32Come, sir.
42:36I used to be Rip Van Winkle, but I can't be now, can I?
42:41Because that's me yonder.
42:42Well, it can't be either because I'm here.
42:49For the last time, who are you?
43:06I knew last night.
43:12Even if it means a rope around my neck.
43:15I don't know who I am anymore.
43:21Yes, then?
43:22What do you want?
43:23Oh, it's my sister.
43:24I'm glad you're here.
43:26You ever seen this old fellow before?
43:28He's told them all he's me.
43:30What's the charge against him?
43:32A vagrancy.
43:33Carrying on the election day and took intrusion against the colony.
43:37Republic.
43:39And add theft to that list.
43:41Now, do you know who this man is, young woman?
43:51Can't be.
43:56My eyes are playing me tricks.
43:59Look at me again.
44:03Why did you say your eyes have played you tricks?
44:06Is that the fellow your brother?
44:08Yes, he's my brother, right enough.
44:12Is your name Judith?
44:16Why, yes it is.
44:18Hey, hey, hey.
44:19How did you know that?
44:20Well, he could have found that out easily enough.
44:23There's more to this old ruffian than meets the eye.
44:26This piece of paper will give away his little game.
44:29What little game?
44:30Oh, we found this on his person.
44:32It's a fraudulent deed for a piece of land that was declared public property where the town hall was built.
44:40Why, if this were valid, it would be worth a fortune today.
44:44My mother told me we once owned the land the town hall stands on now.
44:49You couldn't have, ma'am.
44:51Or you'd have a genuine deed to prove it.
44:54It was a deed.
44:55My father had it with him when he disappeared 20 years ago.
44:58Oh, no, ma'am.
44:59That was yesterday.
45:02No, it couldn't have been because then you'd be nine years old and he'd be still in the cradle.
45:08Oh, he's wasting our time.
45:10Sergeant!
45:11Oh, no, please.
45:13Please, go on.
45:15What's the use?
45:16You don't believe me?
45:18We want to have you.
45:19And maybe we could if you happen to remember the names of some of the friends you used to have.
45:24I've tried.
45:25Hinkum dinkum, ma'am.
45:26I've tried, but my noodle just won't work.
45:33Of course.
45:35Fetch Dame Van Winkle, ma'am.
45:38She'll know me right enough.
45:40She sold this patch on just two days ago.
45:45My mother died eight years ago.
45:46Eight years ago.
45:48Eight years ago.
45:52Then I'm lost.
45:54Lost.
45:56Poor old fellow.
45:57He's lost his senses.
45:59Tell me truthfully.
46:01Who are you?
46:08I'm nobody, ma'am.
46:11Nobody at all.
46:16Your dog didn't used to think so, did he?
46:26No, Wolf didn't think so.
46:29It crossed him to...
46:31Who's Wolf?
46:32You were too young to remember.
46:33He was Papa's dog.
46:35So he was by Haneke.
46:38I remember now.
46:39He mentioned that name, too.
46:41Well, he could have found it out.
46:43Same as the others.
46:44Oh, don't be such a fool.
46:48Who?
46:49Try and remember.
46:51Who was the last person you spoke to that day you went away?
46:56Spoke to?
47:01Judith.
47:03My little daughter, Judith.
47:05Yes, it was.
47:07Can you remember what you said to her?
47:14No, ma'am. I can't.
47:16Try.
47:18I have tried, ma'am. It's no use.
47:23Whatever...
47:25I do.
47:27No matter...
47:28No matter...
47:29No matter...
47:31How it may look to you at the time?
47:34Yes.
47:36It would only be for your own good in the end.
47:41Be...
47:43Because...
47:45Because I love you very, very much.
47:49Yes.
47:51Oh, Papa.
47:54Don't cry anymore, Papa.
47:57You come home at last.
47:59Oh.
48:20I do not know.
48:22Bye.
48:23Hi, Grandpa.
48:25Good morning, son.
48:26Good morning, Papa.
48:27Good morning, son.
48:28Good morning, Papa.
48:30Good morning.
48:32Good morning, Papa.
48:34Mom.
48:35What's that?
48:36Mama, what's that?
48:43Hinkum-dinkum, sir. Ain't nobody ever told you?
48:46That's little men playing ninepins.
48:51Papa, remember what happened last time?
48:56It's only thunder, son. Just plain thunder.
49:01Dinkum-dinkum, driver.
49:06Dream away, little man.
49:11Dream as love.
49:14Dream away, little man.
49:18Dream as love.
49:21It's only thunder, son.
49:24Just plain thunder.
49:26Dinkum-dinkum, driver.
49:29Dream as long as you can.
49:33Don't grow up.
49:36I beg of you.
49:41Dreams are made for children.
49:48Angels.
49:51And for children.
49:54Dreams come true.
50:00Hopés.
50:01Ones.
