00:00Why don't you try to behave, Huckleberry Finn?
00:05Just know that people who act as you've been acting about that illegal go to the bad place.
00:12The place of eternal punishment in a lake of unquenchable fire!
00:19Huckman!
00:23Jack!
00:28Jack!
00:31We figured it would take two more nights till we got to Cairo, at the bottom of Illinois, where the Ohio River comes in.
00:37We would get on a cruise ship and go all the way up the Ohio to Pittsburgh, then Jim would take taxis to the Canadian border.
00:43Ice could get him on buses and trains, but we never heard about no illegals being snatched up on no river cruises.
00:49We have to go! We have to go!
00:51We ran nights and laid up and hid daytimes.
00:54It's lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars.
00:58We used to lay on our backs and look up at them and discuss about whether they were made or only just happened.
01:04Pretty soon, I'll be shouting with joy, and I say it's all because of Huck Finn.
01:09Because of Huck Finn, I'll be a free man. Inshallah!
01:12If we walk back home, I'll be a free man!
01:15I'll be保险 with hundreds of people, and I'll be right back, so I'll be next to you.
01:17Have we seen some of those?
01:20Yes!
01:22I was so excited.
01:24Just excited to come here, and make sure to see that!
01:26Inshallah!
