00:00Each one of us is equipped with the ability to think, known as reason, and the ability to feel, known as emotion.
00:24Within the mind of each of us, these two wage a ceaseless battle for mastery.
00:30Of course, in the undeveloped mind of a child, there is only emotion.
00:41Let's go inside Junior's head and watch emotion at work.
00:46Aha, here he is. He's got the whole place to himself.
00:49He can do as he pleases, because reason isn't born yet.
00:55Meanwhile, emotion is complete dictator in his control over the child.
01:00Go on. Hold it to his tail.
01:07Emotion loves adventure and excitement.
01:10So, he says,
01:11Let's go down there. Don't be scared. It'll be fun.
01:15So, Junior starts down.
01:18Mm-hmm.
01:20Emotionally upset.
01:24Who are you?
01:27I'm Weasen.
01:29Had I been here sooner, this would never have happened.
01:32Oh, yeah?
01:33Well, just remember, I'm the boss around here.
01:35Well, the battle for mastery is on.
01:44And so Junior grows up into an average, normal male.
01:48Time has brought about many changes inside his head since childhood.
01:55Reason seems to be in the driver's seat, with emotion under control in the rear.
02:00Oh, I hate being tied down all the time.
02:03Let's hit the high spots.
02:05Now, just control yourself.
02:06When I'm driving, there will be no nonsense.
02:09Oh, gee whiz.
02:10I want to live dangerously.
02:13Woo!
02:14Look at that.
02:18A classy dish, huh?
02:21Well, she's not bad.
02:23Hey, slow up.
02:24Let's get acquainted with this number.
02:27We'll just go up and I'll sit.
02:28Now, now, we must maintain proper respect for womanhood.
02:32Oh, they like the rough stuff.
02:34You're not going to pass that up.
02:35We certainly are.
02:37Now, sit down and behave yourself.
02:39Hmm, could I go for that?
02:43Here, let me handle this.
02:46We're going places.
02:49Woo-hoo!
02:54Hi, babe.
02:55Going my way?
02:58And that's what you get for not listening to reason.
03:01It served him right, young lady.
03:03Oh, um, by the way, may we borrow your pretty head for a moment?
03:10You shouldn't have slapped him.
03:11He was cute.
03:13Do you want to be an old maid?
03:14Please.
03:15Remember, we're a lady.
03:17Oh, a lady.
03:18I'm tired of sitting around being a lady.
03:20Let's have some fun.
03:22I know.
03:23Let's eat.
03:24I'm starving.
03:25Well, I'm not really hungry,
03:27but, uh, we might have something light,
03:29like, uh, tea and toast.
03:31I want a club sandwich and a giant double milkshake and...
03:34Oh, gracious, no.
03:35Think of our figure.
03:36You heard me.
03:36A club sandwich with potato salad.
03:39With iron cyst tea and...
03:40A four-decker club sandwich with cheese and ham and tuna and chicken and mayonnaise.
03:44Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
03:46Make that chocolate ice cream with whipped cream on top of this, Jared.
03:49Remember, we're on a diet, please.
03:51And for dessert, I'll have chocolate layer cake with fudge icing.
03:55Oh, dear, we shouldn't go.
03:56Oh, and the mammoth hot fudge is messy.
03:58Oh, it's luscious.
04:00Oh, dear, my wish.
04:01It's whipped cream and nothing carries on top.
04:04Oh, oh, oh, stop it.
04:06Oh, thank you for what you've done.
04:09And here again, you have the evidence that uncontrolled emotion can cause you a lot of trouble.
04:17Now, in these strenuous times, it is more important than ever that we control this conflict between reason and emotion.
04:25Let's take the case of Mr. John Doakes, who tries to keep up with current events.
04:31Tonight, the news is very grim.
04:33Looks bad, folks.
04:34We're going to lose this war, but not very careful.
04:36Hey, you know what I just heard?
04:38I heard the subs are sinking all our boats.
04:40I heard on the radio the other night, I got some inside go because you got a...
04:42My son told me that the Major told him, pretty body, pretty body, pretty body.
04:47The enemy is landing with heavy tanks and guns, and I'm afraid they're going to move right in.
04:52A friend of a friend of mine was at Pearl Harbor, and he said...
04:56Actually, actually, we all are bound to taking all our food and sending it to Europe.
05:00While we starve to death, starve to death, starve to death, starve to death.
05:03You can't go to work without tires and gasoline.
05:05He's got the right dough.
05:06Don't believe everything you hear.
05:08We're losing.
05:08He said so.
05:09Don't be stampeded by hearsay.
05:10I'll believe anything I want to.
05:11You must use judgment and guard again.
05:13That's right, Emotions.
05:14Go ahead.
05:15Put Reason out of the way.
05:16That's great.
05:18Fine.
05:19For Hitler...
05:20That master rabble-rouser destroys reason by preying upon the weakness of emotion with fear, sympathy, pride, and hate, just as he did in the minds of the German people.
05:35Behold, the Nazi Superman.
05:38Let's see how Hitler controlled him through fear.
05:43Fear of the concentration camp.
05:48Fear of the Gestapo.
05:50Oh, I'm scared.
05:53Don't listen to that madman.
05:54What will they have for the Führer?
05:57Now, through sympathy, by crying, I only want peace, but they forced me into war.
06:06Don't cry.
06:08He is a big liar.
06:09Don't call my Führer now.
06:12The whole world is against our peace-loving Führer.
06:16Germany.
06:17Aber alles.
06:19Now, it's pride.
06:21Pride in phony racial theories about Aryan superiority.
06:25It's all childish nonsense.
06:27Shut up.
06:28He is a genius and a great leader.
06:30Heil Hitler.
06:31Come on.
06:32Heil Hitler.
06:33Heil Hitler.
06:34Heil Hitler.
06:35Heil Hitler.
06:38Hate.
06:39Hate for the free, democratic way of life.
06:41This is madness.
06:43Down with the democracy.
06:45Heil Hitler.
06:45Heil Hitler.
06:47Heil Hitler.
06:48Yes, it's madness.
06:50Reason has been enslaved, while emotion is the master.
06:54A mad emotion, stripped of all reason, leaving nothing but ruin in its wake.
06:59So, you see, fellows, for us, there is but one answer.
07:03You, reason, your job is to think, to plan, to discriminate.
07:10And you, emotion, to be a fine, strong emotion.
07:14An emotion that loves his country, his freedom, his life.
07:19And together, you must be grimly determined to fight against all odds.
07:24With reason firmly in the driver's seat, handling the controls along the difficult course to victory,
07:31and with emotion by his side, we will go on and do the job we've set out to do.
07:36And we'll do it right.
07:38And we'll do it right.
07:41So, let's say to you, please, please, please.
