00:03THE END
00:39THE END
01:12July 4th, 1776
01:14The city, Philadelphia
01:17The place, the home of Thomas Jefferson
01:20And his cat, who coincidentally is also named Thomas
01:23The event, one that will go down in history
01:27At long last it is finished
01:29A declaration of our colony's independence
01:33I shall not be swayed by your laziness, Tom
01:36Today is a momentous day
01:38And I, Thomas Jefferson, must make ready
02:08I shall not be swayed by your laziness, Tom
02:38And I shall not be swayed by your laziness, Tom
02:43There you are. Have you seen the document on my desk? It is of the utmost importance.
02:53You threw it out the window! The future of the Republic depends on you getting it back!
03:00Hurry, you dote!
03:15There you go.
03:17I can't imagine.
03:18This is a good map.
03:19I'm going to find the other map.
03:22The map is also in the same place.
03:26The map is in the same place.
03:32The map is in the same place.
03:33The map is in the same place.
03:46Oh, my God.
04:12When in the course of human events, this is a declaration of independence.
04:19Why, this is treason.
04:21Who's gonna do the taxation without representation?
04:46So, you're the treasonous dog.
04:49Wait a minute.
04:50I'm a dog.
04:51I mean, you're the rebellious pussycat.
04:54Now, hand it over.
05:00Oh, my God.
05:06Oh, my God.
05:07Huh?
05:12Use tricky traitor!
05:25Now, what would be better to clobber that cat with?
05:29Bone or cannonball?
05:31Oh, definitely the bone.
05:34Oh, my God!
05:43Oh, my God!
05:56Yankee Kitty came to town, treasonous and phony.
06:03Offered me a ham on rye, but I prefer bologna.
06:51Partners, rest assured, my cat will bring the document, post-haste.
06:55Ah, look! I knew he would not fail me.
06:59Well done, Thomas.
07:01Gentlemen, I give you the Declaration of Independence.
07:09This is an outrage!
07:11Look, hither comes a true patriot.
07:14Thank you, Wee, sir.
07:16Hurrah!
07:19So on that day, July 4th, 1776,
07:23the Declaration of Independence was signed by Congress.
07:27And if you look very closely,
07:30you'll see it was also signed by a mouse.
