00:00:10To be continued...
00:00:37You don't know about me without you have read some books made by Mr. Mark Twain.
00:00:41But that ain't no matter.
00:00:43Them books was about some of the best adventure me and Tom Sawyer ever had.
00:00:48My best friend.
00:00:53Now Mr. Mark Twain wrote the truth mainly.
00:00:56There were some things he stretched, but mainly he told the truth.
00:01:01I reckon the biggest lie he told, and I ain't ever seen anybody but live one time or another,
00:01:06was what they call the live old mittens.
00:01:10Because see, while Mr. Mark Twain sure did write down an awful lot of them adventures,
00:01:15he never wrote them all.
00:01:17Suppose me and Tom were just more full of adventuring than his poor wrist could handle.
00:01:25Now it's honest he wrote about the murder in the graveyard Tom and Miss Saw,
00:01:29and Muff Potter getting blamed for it, and me and Tom being took for dead,
00:01:32and then coming back to tell the truth, that it was Injun Joe who'd done it.
00:01:36And he wrote about Tom and Becky Thatcher getting lost in that cave.
00:01:40The very same one, me and Tom, to find all that treasure.
00:01:43And Injun Joe'd find his fate.
00:01:45And it's true Mr. Mark Twain helped me write about my own adventure,
00:01:49escaping my drunk path and heading the wrong way down the river to free Jim from slavery.
00:01:53Them adventures was plenty.
00:01:55Feuding families, missing heirs, and a pair of conmen, would-be royals,
00:01:59the Duke of Bilgewater and the King of France.
00:02:02Tom even showed up in Arkansas and got shot in the leg.
00:02:06And there was others too that made the page.
00:02:08About me and Tom turning genuine detectives, catching a killer.
00:02:12When that time me, Tom, and Jim were all taken hostigated,
00:02:15and a balloon bound for Africa.
00:02:18And maybe, maybe them adventures isn't enough.
00:02:22Maybe them history books are full up.
00:02:25Certainly would have done me.
00:02:27I never went looking for no trouble.
00:02:29But Tom Sawyer?
00:02:31Tom Sawyer was a magnet for them adventures.
00:02:34And I reckon maybe I was a magnet for Tom Sawyer.
00:02:40Best friends stick together.
00:02:42Sticking together got me into plenty of tight spots.
00:02:46Plenty of tight spots Mr. Mark Twain never even knew about.
00:02:56Surprised our sign didn't scare off that huckster, Tom.
00:02:58You sure his camp's gonna be this far inland?
00:03:01That rascal's a smart one, that's for sure.
00:03:04He reckon most folks would've come to your conclusions, Hucky.
00:03:07How bad the skeeters get hereabouts in the summer?
00:03:09Well, most of reckon the same man couldn't stand it.
00:03:12But he can't outsmart a couple detectives with pedigree, like us.
00:03:19Now, I've never been accused of having pedigree my whole life, Tom.
00:03:34How's that vinegar working for you, Huck?
00:03:36Only thing for skiers, Tom.
00:03:38That and possum guts, but don't got none of them handy.
00:03:42You know, this nickel bottle repellent seems to be more than attractive.
00:03:45Could you spare a few splashes to help me keep those parasites at bay?
00:03:49They's bloodsuckers, Tom, but that's how they're made.
00:03:52You don't gotta call them that mean a name.
00:03:54Well, Hucky, that's what they are.
00:03:56You're cold, Tom Sawyer.
00:03:58Pat Finn used to call me that.
00:04:00Parasite.
00:04:01I reckon I can call worse, but I don't know when.
00:04:04Huck Finn, you blather skype.
00:04:06That's what they are.
00:04:07A parasite is a critter that lives off something else.
00:04:10Like how skeeters have to suck our blood to survive.
00:04:15I wish you didn't know that, Tom.
00:04:17You didn't know Poppies means a bloodsucker.
00:04:20Not to speak ill to the dead, Huck, but I wouldn't put no stock in anything your Pat Finn ever
00:04:25said.
00:04:26Besides, he meant it in a metaphorical sense.
00:04:28Like you live off, Huck, because you skip out a score and have no occupation.
00:04:32But it ain't nothing, Huck.
00:04:35Even so.
00:04:36Hucky, you ain't no parasite, not the bloodsucking kind or the metaphorical kind.
00:04:45Now this Huckster we're hunting up Mr. James Hull.
00:04:48Now he's a parasite and ain't a place for that kind in this world.
00:04:51Selling the whole blame town to St. Petersburg on buying brand new security systems for their homes and shops.
00:04:57Stirring up all kinds of trouble and getting the whole town worded over some robberies that have been 20 miles
00:05:01down the river.
00:05:02And getting to turn on their friends and neighbors and not trust anyone.
00:05:05Even the postmaster in the good, righteous guy, Jim.
00:05:08And then, all of a sudden, during Sunday go to meeting time,
00:05:12ransacking the whole blame town and making for the river.
00:05:15That's what I figured it too, Tom.
00:05:16With no steamboats due to tomorrow morning.
00:05:19I guess he has to be out here.
00:05:20Lest he powerful at Illinois' shore.
00:05:23Well, that rascal's still here.
00:05:27A dead phone!
00:05:29Yep.
00:05:30Looks like he rigged up some of his security traps out here too.
00:05:36Had we tripped the pull line,
00:05:37the wire would've dropped that counterweight.
00:05:42And we'd be kept just fast.
00:05:44I read, Hucky.
00:05:45That wire drops at 32.2 foot per second square.
00:05:49Them big words just to say you ain't outrunnin' it.
00:05:52Sure.
00:05:53It's all account of potential and kinetic energy, Hucky.
00:05:56I think it's all account of everything that goes up's gotta come down.
00:05:59Exactly, Huck.
00:06:00That shit isn't a way they're sayin' it.
00:06:02See, that big cage back there had the potential for energy.
00:06:04Because gravity was pullin' on it, tryin' to bring it down.
00:06:07But couldn't.
00:06:08Account of the counterweight.
00:06:09But you trip the counterweight, well, gravity gets a holdin'.
00:06:12Exactly, Huck.
00:06:13See, once gravity gets a hold,
00:06:16all that energy that the cage had the potential to have,
00:06:19well, it grows into it real quick.
00:06:21You've got to remember
00:06:22that speed and mass affect the amount of kinetic energy an object has.
00:06:27So heavy cage way up there just drop one via a whopper.
00:06:30I don't need all the details, Tom.
00:06:31I reckon I get the big picture.
00:06:33Huck Finn, this detective business is all about the details.
00:06:38Tom!
00:06:40Noisemaker.
00:06:41This rascal's keepin' the thrills fresh, ain't he?
00:06:44Yup.
00:06:46More potential energy that'd make trouble for us if it finds its legs, Huck.
00:06:50If this sapling that's all bent back
00:06:52got free of this wire
00:06:54and went back to normal like it wants to...
00:06:56It'd make quite a ruckus, huh, Tom?
00:06:58The sound travels at about
00:07:00760 miles per hour, Hucky.
00:07:02Best to avoid havin' to outrun that number.
00:07:14Reckon that holdin' still has Aunt Pauly's Bible
00:07:16he stole from out of her lock cabinet?
00:07:18I reckon he's still got all this pilferin', Huck.
00:07:20Won't fence it till he's a few days from St. Petersburg way, I figure it.
00:07:23I reckon I've never seen no one
00:07:25so out of sorts over a book, though, Tom.
00:07:27She didn't even read that one.
00:07:29Otherwise, she would've had it with her when the crook struck.
00:07:32That's what they call sentimentality, Huck Finn.
00:07:34Oh, I know that one, Tom.
00:07:36I had an awful lot of sentimentality over Joe Harper's dead tooth.
00:07:39I want to have been playing marbles.
00:07:41It may not be as good as that golden knob you had once, Tom,
00:07:43but it was the best thing I ever owned.
00:07:45That was a prize, Huck.
00:07:47And I wouldn't take too kindly to some pilfer
00:07:50or makin' off with it, either.
00:07:51Takin' all these folks' possessions that they care about.
00:07:54Like, how I cared about that rotten tooth.
00:07:57It ain't right, Tom.
00:07:58I told you, Huckie.
00:08:00A parasite ain't a place in this world for that kind of man.
00:08:09Look past those trees.
00:08:12Just get up, Tom.
00:08:13Shh.
00:08:19And I bet that trick was this last line of defense.
00:08:22The warning trap to beat all warning traps.
00:08:25How's that one work, Tom?
00:08:26Some kind of potential for kinetic energy?
00:08:31It's hard to see from where we are, Huck,
00:08:32but that's unlikely to be sure.
00:08:35I think it's best if we ought to avoid it
00:08:37for sneakin' in there.
00:08:40Wait a minute.
00:08:42Huckie, do I got an idea?
00:08:43How's that, Tom?
00:08:45Listen.
00:08:46We can use his traps against him.
00:08:49Take the biggest amount of potential energy
00:08:51and make it kinetic.
00:08:54You go and head to the edge of the woods
00:08:56and hide them.
00:08:57We'll be sure to stay clear of the trails
00:08:59I got plans for.
00:09:01When you see me take off from him,
00:09:02there's no good holdin' to be right behind.
00:09:05If he is,
00:09:06then you go and get back all his loot
00:09:08so that you take it back to him
00:09:09that it belongs to.
00:09:10You sure about this, Tom?
00:09:12Trust me, Huckie.
00:09:33I see you coming, you crook!
00:09:50Tom!
00:09:52Tom!
00:09:55Tom!
00:10:05You think you're so clever.
00:10:07Where's Tom?
00:10:08They don't care for you.
00:10:10You dirty street rat!
00:10:11I ain't a street rat!
00:10:12You're pretending.
00:10:14I know you're Pat.
00:10:16Uncle Barry Finn.
00:10:18You're one of us.
00:10:20Not one of them.
00:10:22You see how quick they are
00:10:23to turn on one another?
00:10:25To distrust
00:10:26and suspect their neighbors?
00:10:28They know their whole life
00:10:30of covetous and pilfering.
00:10:32You think they can think of
00:10:33you
00:10:35any kind of way
00:10:36besides a filthy, mean, spirited
00:10:38son of Pat Finn?
00:10:40The most useless man
00:10:41this town's ever known.
00:10:45You owe him nothing.
00:10:49They get me out of here
00:10:50and we take off down the river
00:10:54among our kind.
00:10:56Live in our way.
00:10:57Cause boy,
00:10:59we ain't nothing but good
00:11:00those social parasites.
00:11:05That's how we made it.
00:11:07That's who we are.
00:11:11Ain't no place
00:11:12in this world
00:11:12for our kind.
00:11:29I'm no bloodsucker
00:11:31nor no metaphor.
00:11:32At least wise,
00:11:33I'm no parasite.
00:11:34I'm Huckleberry Finn
00:11:35and I'm Tom Story's best friend.
00:11:38You bet you are, Huck.
00:11:40Tom!
00:11:44I'm sorry.
00:11:45I saw that my plan worked.
00:11:47That this rascal
00:11:48forgot all about his traps
00:11:49and walked right into it.
00:11:51He just kept on loading
00:11:52that pistol of his
00:11:53into trying to get free.
00:11:54And I just kept running it.
00:11:56I don't blame you none, Tom,
00:11:57I swear.
00:11:58Did you get the swag?
00:12:00I'll probably buy one of them.
00:12:02I'll just make tracks
00:12:03back to town
00:12:03and get the share.
00:12:04I'm sure he'll be
00:12:05mighty interested
00:12:06in our day's doings.
00:12:13Let me go!
00:12:15I promise I'll turn myself in!
00:12:17I'll be a better man
00:12:19for the rest of my days!
00:12:21I swear!
00:12:24Say we should help him, Tom.
00:12:25He's with those skaters.
00:12:27Now, Huck,
00:12:29let it never be said
00:12:30that Tom Sawyer
00:12:31don't take no pity
00:12:32on his fellow men.
00:12:44But, Tom,
00:12:45I thought you called
00:12:45that an attractive.
00:12:49Get away!
00:12:53Get away!
00:12:55Get away!
00:12:57Get away!
00:13:13You should've talked
00:13:14to me first, Tom.
00:13:18Huckie,
00:13:18how many years
00:13:18do you know me?
00:13:20Too many, Tom.
00:13:21And do I ever
00:13:22seek your consultation
00:13:23on matters of business?
00:13:25You never tell me
00:13:25nothing when there's
00:13:26something on the line.
00:13:28Especially when
00:13:28it's my something.
00:13:30I don't know if I
00:13:30can't got there
00:13:31is the only thing
00:13:31I got left
00:13:32from Cairo.
00:13:33It's my pride and joy.
00:13:34Huck,
00:13:35it's the only way
00:13:36I can get back
00:13:36that timepiece.
00:13:37I told you!
00:13:38But it's a gimme.
00:13:39There's no threat.
00:13:41Ain't you learned
00:13:41by now
00:13:42I don't take a bet
00:13:42that ain't a gimme?
00:13:45You're more right
00:13:45than wrong,
00:13:46sure enough, Tom.
00:13:48But you ain't
00:13:49always right.
00:13:52And every blame
00:13:53soul in St. Petersburg
00:13:54knows that 30 pounds
00:13:56of feathers
00:13:56is heavier
00:13:57than a 10-pound stone.
00:13:59Who said it weren't,
00:14:00Huckie?
00:14:00That ain't what
00:14:01I'm aiming to do.
00:14:01Misproved.
00:14:03You bet your little
00:14:04brother...
00:14:05Half-brother.
00:14:06All right,
00:14:06you bet, Sid,
00:14:07my mommy cat
00:14:08that this bag
00:14:09of feathers
00:14:09will land
00:14:10the same time
00:14:11as his 10-pound stone
00:14:12when we drop
00:14:13them both off
00:14:13garbage rice.
00:14:14That's what
00:14:14we spit on.
00:14:16Tom,
00:14:1730 pounds
00:14:18is gonna fall
00:14:19a heck of a lot
00:14:19faster than
00:14:2010-pound stone.
00:14:22What?
00:14:23I reckon
00:14:23three times as fast.
00:14:25I think so,
00:14:25Huck.
00:14:26Seems right to me.
00:14:27And how's that,
00:14:28Huck?
00:14:29Well, you know,
00:14:31gravy and
00:14:31Ian Hurchoff
00:14:33and all that
00:14:34book-learning stuff.
00:14:35Well,
00:14:36the heavier something
00:14:36is,
00:14:37the quicker it falls
00:14:37stands to reason.
00:14:39Exactly, Huck.
00:14:40Stands to reason.
00:14:41That's the trick.
00:14:44Tom,
00:14:44you done outfoxed
00:14:45so many sitches
00:14:46around so many
00:14:47different ways.
00:14:48Well, this time
00:14:49you outfoxed yourself.
00:14:50Nah, Hucky.
00:14:51It stands to reason,
00:14:52but it ain't the way
00:14:53it actually works.
00:14:55See,
00:14:56when they fall,
00:14:57objects,
00:14:57regardless of their mass
00:14:58or how much they weigh,
00:14:59fall at the same rate,
00:15:00meaning, Hucky,
00:15:01not the same speed,
00:15:02but the same acceleration.
00:15:04That's because
00:15:04the amount of force
00:15:05gravity puts on
00:15:06a given object
00:15:07is dependent
00:15:07on its mass.
00:15:09So,
00:15:10a heavy object
00:15:10with a lot of mass
00:15:11like that big bag
00:15:12of feathers
00:15:12is pulled harder
00:15:13by gravity
00:15:14than that 10-pound stone.
00:15:19If you say so, Tom.
00:15:20I says it.
00:15:22Now,
00:15:23I told that little
00:15:23rapscallion
00:15:24to keep mum
00:15:25about this whole affair.
00:15:26Did you?
00:15:27I reckon you won
00:15:28a crowd, Tom.
00:15:29If we're quick,
00:15:30we can get these proceedings
00:15:31along for Becky
00:15:31ever knows
00:15:32I gave away that time
00:15:33piece she gave me
00:15:33last time we courted.
00:15:35I think it was
00:15:35the last time
00:15:36before the last time.
00:15:38Maybe you're right,
00:15:39Hucky.
00:15:40But if you can't
00:15:41keep track of your own
00:15:41romantic Eskimos,
00:15:42I suppose
00:15:43there's no chance
00:15:44no way.
00:15:49Thomas Sire!
00:15:54You reckon she knows, Tom?
00:16:00Tom.
00:16:02Tom.
00:16:03Are you the reason
00:16:04for this foolishness?
00:16:05Huck helped.
00:16:06As usual,
00:16:07I told you
00:16:08this was another
00:16:08Tom Sawyer
00:16:09and Huckleberry Finn, Matt.
00:16:10Tom Sawyer?
00:16:11You are the most
00:16:12narcissistic,
00:16:13humiliating,
00:16:14self-obsessed
00:16:15quarter that I have
00:16:15ever seen in my life.
00:16:17You know,
00:16:18Beau Laxley came
00:16:18to court in just last week.
00:16:20Beau Laxley.
00:16:21Now that's a boy
00:16:21who can keep
00:16:22his nose clean.
00:16:23He came calling
00:16:24right after you.
00:16:25But I was already
00:16:26spoken for
00:16:26and now I'm stuck
00:16:27with a lifetime
00:16:28of these shenanigans.
00:16:29Oh, sorry
00:16:29you ain't courtin' Beau,
00:16:30Becky.
00:16:31Nobody likes Beau Laxley.
00:16:32Yuck.
00:16:33I was just trying
00:16:34to lure you
00:16:34on the embarrassment
00:16:35I feel in my heart
00:16:36when you're up
00:16:36to these troubles.
00:16:37Oh, and Tom's
00:16:38real sorry about
00:16:39giving away that
00:16:39timepiece you gave
00:16:40him to court in the house.
00:16:42My timepiece?
00:16:44You gave away
00:16:45my timepiece?
00:16:46What's a gift
00:16:46mean to Tom Sawyer?
00:16:47About as much
00:16:48as bathwater
00:16:48does to Huckleberry Finn.
00:16:50Becky,
00:16:51what do you think
00:16:52I'm doing here?
00:16:53I'm here to win it back.
00:16:54I'm doing this for you.
00:16:56For me?
00:16:58If this was for me,
00:16:59you wouldn't have
00:17:00kept it from me
00:17:00in the first place.
00:17:02This is about
00:17:03the drama,
00:17:03the theatrics,
00:17:04the spectacle.
00:17:05It always is with you.
00:17:07This is about
00:17:08your pride,
00:17:09Tom.
00:17:10Tom.
00:17:11That's what you serve.
00:17:15Tom.
00:17:18What?
00:17:21Go win your silly bet.
00:17:29One timepiece
00:17:30coming up.
00:17:49All right,
00:17:50Sid.
00:17:51You got the
00:17:51timepiece?
00:17:52Right here.
00:17:54Tom, you got
00:17:55hooks, dead cat?
00:17:56Right here.
00:18:06Told you to keep
00:18:06mum, Sid.
00:18:08Pretty big crowd.
00:18:10If you're the only
00:18:10one of us
00:18:10talked it up.
00:18:11Word travels.
00:18:13Especially from
00:18:13two ports.
00:18:15I've been out
00:18:16in that prize
00:18:16a while now, Tom.
00:18:17I know what it said.
00:18:18Why?
00:18:19I don't need
00:18:19no timepiece.
00:18:20I didn't even need
00:18:21it when you gave it
00:18:22to me.
00:18:22It's just a bond.
00:18:24If I'm honest,
00:18:25thought it might
00:18:25come in handy,
00:18:26but to have to say,
00:18:27I'm surprised
00:18:27at just how
00:18:27handy it came.
00:18:29Tell you what,
00:18:31I'll make you
00:18:31an offer.
00:18:32I'll trade you.
00:18:34Straight up.
00:18:41She ain't mind
00:18:41a trade, Sid.
00:18:42But she's yours
00:18:43to gamble?
00:18:44Ain't much a gamble
00:18:45when you know
00:18:45you're gonna win.
00:18:47All right, boys.
00:18:49Weighing time.
00:19:02But the minutes show
00:19:03that the bag of feathers
00:19:05is heavier than the stone.
00:19:07But the dropping
00:19:08commence.
00:19:14Last year's your tongue.
00:19:15Why I need to trade
00:19:16when I'm about to get
00:19:17both and humble you
00:19:19to boot?
00:19:20Because that's
00:19:21what you're really after.
00:19:22Ain't you?
00:19:24A humbling?
00:19:27When it's them
00:19:27that deserves it.
00:19:29All right, you two.
00:19:30On my mark.
00:19:42Three, Miss Zibbit.
00:19:44Two, Miss Zibbit.
00:19:46One, Miss Zibbit.
00:19:48Wait a minute, hon.
00:19:49I called time out.
00:19:50Time out.
00:19:53What are you doing, Tom?
00:19:55It looks like I'm fixing
00:19:56the drop of a bag of feathers.
00:19:57No, you're supposed to
00:19:58dump them, not drop them.
00:19:59Now, Joe, we didn't agree
00:20:01to no restrictions
00:20:02on how I drop my feathers.
00:20:04Brady's got you there, Sid.
00:20:05Except that ain't the truth.
00:20:08This here, a signed contract
00:20:10with one Huckleberry Finn,
00:20:12owner of the collateral,
00:20:14promises Tom Sawyer
00:20:15would be dumping
00:20:16this bag of feathers
00:20:17separate from the back
00:20:18from which they brought.
00:20:19Witnessed by Billy and Lee
00:20:21yesterday morning.
00:20:23Just ask me.
00:20:30Huckleberry Finn?
00:20:33This is genuine signatory?
00:20:39I didn't know about your scheme, Tom.
00:20:43I told you.
00:20:44You should have told me about it.
00:20:52What's the problem, Becky?
00:20:5330 pounds of feathers is
00:20:5530 pounds of feathers.
00:20:57Won't it be the same,
00:20:58bag or no?
00:20:59So Tom thought he'd out smart, Sid.
00:21:02That Sid wouldn't know
00:21:03if things fall at the same rate.
00:21:05Wish they do.
00:21:06Right.
00:21:07But only if there aren't
00:21:08other factors involved.
00:21:10Other factors?
00:21:11Like air.
00:21:12Air?
00:21:12It's what you breathe, Huckleberry.
00:21:14I know that.
00:21:15How's it affected?
00:21:17Huckleberry,
00:21:18them falling at the same rate
00:21:19is only true if gravity
00:21:20is the only factor
00:21:21on an object falling.
00:21:22But they've got more
00:21:23acting on it than gravity.
00:21:24Air resists them falling, too.
00:21:26So the bag of feathers
00:21:28and the 10-pound stone
00:21:29for all intents and purposes,
00:21:30they's about the same density,
00:21:32so they'll fall at the same time.
00:21:33But, Huck,
00:21:35if you separate those feathers,
00:21:36that feather's barely denser
00:21:37than a sheet of paper.
00:21:39Even with them falling
00:21:40at the same time,
00:21:41some of them are gonna separate,
00:21:42and they'll be so beat
00:21:43by the resistance of the air
00:21:44that they'll just float
00:21:45and mosey on down
00:21:46and land a good few seconds
00:21:48after the stone.
00:21:56Tom!
00:21:58Tom, take the train!
00:22:00Get your peas!
00:22:08Joe,
00:22:09let's start again.
00:22:11Starting again.
00:22:13On the mark.
00:22:19Three Mississippi.
00:22:21Two Mississippi.
00:22:24One Mississippi.
00:22:37Yes!
00:22:39Yes!
00:22:49I'm sorry, Tom.
00:22:52That stone landed
00:22:53mighty sooner
00:22:53in them mess of feathers.
00:22:56Sid Sawyer
00:22:57is the winner!
00:23:09told you you're after
00:23:10Humble and Tom.
00:23:22I don't see what you like
00:23:24about that Tom Sawyer.
00:23:25Bestie by his little brother,
00:23:27Sid.
00:23:28Becky,
00:23:28you can do better.
00:23:33Come on, Becky.
00:23:34Show's over.
00:23:35And what a show.
00:23:38Tell him, Huck.
00:23:40Tell him I don't mind
00:23:40about the piece.
00:23:42I'm sorry about your cat.
00:23:55I reckon we've been sharing a room too long.
00:23:58Can't believe that little Brad off foxed me.
00:24:03And now, Becky's Tom piece is gone for good.
00:24:05And what about your cat?
00:24:06I don't know if it's a cat.
00:24:08So what if it's a mummy?
00:24:11One dead cat's as good as the other,
00:24:12I suppose,
00:24:13and those are right easy enough to come by.
00:24:17You sure are taking this well, Huck.
00:24:21That was your pride and joy.
00:24:25Well, pride?
00:24:27Ain't never been too much of use to me, Tom.
00:24:31I come from,
00:24:32well,
00:24:33you know where I come from.
00:24:36Pride just gets in the way of things.
00:24:39Blinds you.
00:24:40Sometimes gets you humble.
00:24:45It ain't that simple, Huck.
00:24:48I reckon it probably ain't.
00:24:51Because without it,
00:24:52I'm an empty sack.
00:24:56I bet you weren't right.
00:24:57You ain't my master.
00:25:02It's just
00:25:04a part of me.
00:25:09Why'd you sign away my scheme, Huck?
00:25:11With Sid?
00:25:12I didn't know it about your scheme, Tom.
00:25:14You didn't tell me about your scheme.
00:25:16He said we need to make this legitimate,
00:25:18and it's my collateral.
00:25:18I know, I know.
00:25:21It's not your fault, Huck.
00:25:25He just knows me too well.
00:25:29That's Sid.
00:25:31He knew I wouldn't talk to you about my scheme,
00:25:34because...
00:25:35Because I need to show it off.
00:25:38And I underestimated, and that's for sure.
00:25:41I won't make that same mistake again.
00:25:44Just like I won't be betting away anything else
00:25:46that don't belong to me on a gimme, neither.
00:25:56I'm sorry, Huck.
00:25:58I'm sorry, Huck.
00:26:06What is Becky right, Huck?
00:26:09You only got a master if you serve it, Tom.
00:26:15Well, don't you got to serve?
00:26:16Something's in life.
00:26:27You think Becky will ever speak to me again,
00:26:29or we done courting for good?
00:26:31I don't think you have to worry about Becky Thatcher now, Tom Sawyer.
00:26:34Now, when are you going to tell me about this new scheme we're cooking up?
00:26:38To get back what's ours from Sid?
00:26:41Now, I am glad you say that, Huckleberry Finn.
00:26:45Because I do.
00:26:46We've got a new plan to brew.
00:26:47Sure.
00:26:48And it is a good one.
00:26:49But of course, this time we can't take nothing for granted.
00:26:52We've got to be smart, not cocky.
00:26:54We've got to be smart, not cocky.
00:27:40That was a skimmer, Tom.
00:27:41It's all just an understanding of the physics, Joe.
00:27:44You master the physics, you master the world.
00:27:46Nah, that weren't nothing, Joe.
00:27:48Watch this.
00:27:57Oh, I think Huckie's got you beat, Tom.
00:27:59You blind Joe Harper.
00:28:01You know mine went further, Tom.
00:28:02Why are you making a fuss?
00:28:03Huck, you mullet head.
00:28:05The measure ain't the distance, it's the form.
00:28:07Besides, I've got to get two or three more skips out of my sauce.
00:28:10On account of the physics, like I said.
00:28:12You're supposed to control the physics, Huck.
00:28:13That's the game.
00:28:14You're making up rules as you want them, not as they be, Tom.
00:28:17That ain't so Hucky.
00:28:18Everybody knows that.
00:28:19You tell them, Joe.
00:28:20Uh, how's that, Tom?
00:28:22Tell Huck it's the form you grade.
00:28:24Well, honest, Tom, I don't know hardly nothing about this business of physics and stone skipping.
00:28:31Least of which I'd grade it.
00:28:34But, it seems to me, though, Tom, that Huck's got the more logical point.
00:28:38Ha, your face, Tom.
00:28:40Yeah, hey, Joe, save the logic for those of us that's got it in spades, huh?
00:28:44Like any chucklehead can throw their arm at a socket and get good distance.
00:28:47But the form of the skips, the dance of the stone or the water, that's the real game.
00:28:54Well, I reckon you do make a good point.
00:28:56Joe, you fair well.
00:28:58Now y'all put me in a mighty awful spot.
00:28:59Wow, I told y'all I don't know nothing about this business.
00:29:03Well, what do you look for when you skip, Joe?
00:29:06The distance, like a real Missourian, or something highfalutin' like form.
00:29:10Well, I can't say I go for nothing, Huck.
00:29:14You mean you ain't never thought about it?
00:29:16I mean, I ain't done it, Tom.
00:29:19I ain't never skipped no stone.
00:29:24Well, Joe, stone skipping's right up there with mumbly pegging and swimming
00:29:28for best summer's pastime in all St. Petersburg.
00:29:32Well, I can't believe you missed out.
00:29:34Well, I can't stand it.
00:29:39Watch out there, Tom.
00:29:41About time you got an education in stone skipping, Joe.
00:29:43Step one is find the right stone.
00:29:46Won't just any stone do?
00:29:48No way, Joe.
00:29:50Get the wrong stone, you might as well be chucking Becky Thatcher in the water.
00:29:54Get about the same distance.
00:29:55Well, actually, Huck, so long as you go by what the physics want,
00:29:59most rocks will skip some.
00:30:00Even a humongous rock if you throw it hard enough.
00:30:03But, for the absolute most impressive results the human arm can get,
00:30:06certain kind's the best.
00:30:08See?
00:30:09Here.
00:30:11A nice stone with a flat edge and a round base.
00:30:14Now, in order to make her skip,
00:30:17there are two major factors to consider when dealing with an optimized stone like this one.
00:30:20Number one is the angle and rotation of how I throw it.
00:30:24Number two, the angle at which it hits the water.
00:30:26These others factors, too, like its size and mass and the condition of the water's surface.
00:30:31But, with a stone like this,
00:30:32and you can kind of take those things for granted on a nice day like today.
00:30:35Now, let's talk it through as we go.
00:30:37Number one,
00:30:38the angle at which the stone is thrown.
00:30:41See?
00:30:41How you throw it directly impacts two things that are important in getting a stone to skip.
00:30:45It creates the momentum
00:30:46for the mass and motion of the stone.
00:30:48And it also affects the second major factor,
00:30:50the angle at which the stone hits the water.
00:30:53Now, you see how I got my arm cocked and loaded?
00:30:56Yeah.
00:30:56Looks like you're going to pull something, Tom.
00:30:59Yeah, that shows I can fling it side on.
00:31:01The other important part
00:31:02is how I hold the stone.
00:31:04Now, you see how I got it wedged between my thumb and index finger?
00:31:07How I got my index finger wrapped around it?
00:31:09That shows.
00:31:09When I let it go,
00:31:11and let it roll off the tips of my fingers,
00:31:13it puts the stone in a natural spin.
00:31:17Now, let's throw it,
00:31:18and I'll show you how it skips in actuality,
00:31:20thanks to master the physics.
00:31:26Watch it with them stones, boys!
00:31:29See, thanks to the principle of the conservation of momentum,
00:31:32the stone doesn't lose momentum from the throw
00:31:34when it collides with the water.
00:31:35Now, all the momentum's got to go somewhere,
00:31:37so if you look real close, Joe,
00:31:39you could have seen that when the stone hit the water on the first skip,
00:31:42it actually entered the water for a hair.
00:31:44But, thanks to all that momentum I gave it with my throw,
00:31:47it created a gully,
00:31:49or a cavity in the water
00:31:49that the stone then slings itself out of.
00:31:52Then, its pitch angle out of the cavity creates a lifting force,
00:31:55which causes the stone to skip along
00:31:56and repeat the process all over.
00:31:58Now, as the stone continues this over and over,
00:32:00it slowly loses its momentum,
00:32:02and then it eventually sinks.
00:32:03But,
00:32:04if you take all them factors I told you about into consideration,
00:32:07you get a mighty whole lot of skips before it sinks for good.
00:32:10Makes sense.
00:32:11Give it a try, huh, Joe?
00:32:13And make sure you try for form.
00:32:15Nah, Joe.
00:32:16Ain't no way to master physics.
00:32:18You can't outsmart a good, honest throw
00:32:20for distance.
00:32:33Alright, now.
00:32:34You can relax some.
00:32:35You're out here scaring crows, are you?
00:32:49What form, what distance, what did I do?
00:32:55What did I say about them stones?
00:32:59What did I tell you?
00:33:00Master of the physics, master of the world.
00:33:03Master?
00:33:04I didn't mean to do that, Tom.
00:33:06I didn't mean to believe that old poor Chopped Ma.
00:33:08Look, only physics we can control now
00:33:10is how fast we make tracks.
00:33:12What did I tell you about?
00:33:16I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:23I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:24I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:24I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:25I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:26I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:26I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:27I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:28I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:29I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:30I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:30I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:30I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:30I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:32I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:33I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:33I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:34I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:35I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:39I didn't mean to do that.
00:33:51Let's go.
00:34:15We're getting closer together.
00:34:16This is the third load already.
00:34:18Your pa can't do nothing about this, Becky.
00:34:20Judge Thatcher's made it pretty clear he's got more important pots on Mr. Oberma.
00:34:24But these traps are against the law.
00:34:26It says the populace are coming and bringing change with them.
00:34:30It says one of these days soon, judges will be elected like the president and not appointed
00:34:33by the governor like they are now.
00:34:35It says not everybody can see it coming, but he can.
00:34:39Does your pa run in for president, Becky?
00:34:40No, he's just afraid of offending the people who could have the power to take away his
00:34:44job.
00:34:45He doesn't want to underestimate the voice of the populace because it could be at his
00:34:48peril.
00:34:49See, people talk and that talk can get teeth.
00:34:52He and the district attorney just want to focus on that which will make good talk and not
00:34:56bad.
00:34:57And stopping illegal trappers ain't big enough to help good talk.
00:35:00That sounds like fiction to me.
00:35:02Ain't enough populace got these parts to bring any kind of change like that, my pa says.
00:35:06They's only got a voice up in them Yankee states.
00:35:08Well, that's not what Judge Thatcher believes, Glenn.
00:35:10Sure sounds like he's running for president.
00:35:13I suppose politics is politics, but for now, we're on our own.
00:35:22Well, I suppose not entirely on our own.
00:35:40Well, what do you have to do without saying that, with the fact that we do have to do
00:35:46Only one of our students will come on and see what happens in this.
00:35:47And we have to sort of witness that.
00:35:48What do you do in this?
00:35:48Oh, what do you do?
00:35:50How do you try to sit down in this place?
00:35:52Well, no sloths.
00:35:54Now we got the sheriff and the bodies of the government who work together, so we the populace-
00:35:57Populous, Irma.
00:35:58Can all live without fear like we had in the Old Testament days.
00:36:01We know what society is.
00:36:04But wouldn't that be something?
00:36:05If all the dogs spelt all the traps like Dash and spread word amongst the other critters?
00:36:09Like a real democratic society.
00:36:10To live in your silly head. Why waste breath on such ridiculous fancy?
00:36:13There'd be a lot less for us to do. What's ridiculous?
00:36:16Folks couldn't always talk.
00:36:17We had savage times.
00:36:19And we should say careers went one day too.
00:36:21Irma.
00:36:21Not only is that impossible, but it's not right heretical.
00:36:24Okay, will you two stop that, Balderdash?
00:36:27It seems like neither of you know anything to me.
00:36:30I mean, animals may not speak English or French or dead Latin, but they still speak.
00:36:36Any silly body should know that.
00:36:38Now how so, Becky Thatcher? Won't you learn his curled ignoramuses?
00:36:43Okay.
00:36:45What do you two think Dash is doing right now?
00:36:48He found a trap, of course.
00:36:50Right.
00:36:50And he's telling us that he found the trap, ain't he?
00:36:54Why, that's a croak, Becky Thatcher.
00:36:56Right, that don't count.
00:36:57But he's still communicating, ain't he?
00:37:00And that ain't even the only way.
00:37:02Look at his nose.
00:37:03From the other animals that have left their scent there, Dash can tell all kinds of things.
00:37:07He can tell between the different people and creatures that have been there.
00:37:10And he can even tell specific things about them.
00:37:12Like whether they was male or female or what time of day they passed.
00:37:16He can even tell emotions in those sense.
00:37:18Like whether any of them was anxious or afraid.
00:37:20Really?
00:37:20I'll bet.
00:37:29Is that it?
00:37:30If you saw it and smell?
00:37:31Hardly.
00:37:32Listen.
00:37:37What?
00:37:38Don't you hear them?
00:37:39Someone talking?
00:37:40Yep.
00:37:41The birds.
00:37:43Often times, the noise that the animals make means just as much to them as talking to us.
00:37:48Even more when it's Irma.
00:37:50Birds call and sing just to keep in touch with one another.
00:37:52Or to warn of danger.
00:37:54Or to let each other know when they've found food.
00:37:56They even use it for courting.
00:37:57Other animals use it in like ways like monkeys, frogs, bats.
00:38:01Even insects like crickets and grasshoppers.
00:38:03And of course...
00:38:07Dogs.
00:38:27What?
00:38:28What?
00:38:29What?
00:38:49Why not?
00:38:55The shuffles are late.
00:39:12you mean some animals can talk by vibrating their bodies yep spiders do with their spider webs and
00:39:17through touch yep especially when they're learning to be social like a dog or cat playing or ants
00:39:23leading one another to food and even through electricity i didn't even know electricity was
00:39:27real yep eels communicate with one another and learn more about the world around them through
00:39:32the electrical charge they got in their bodies i don't know maybe they talk in a manner of saying
00:39:38but you really think an animal like that can speak to us in a complex enough way for it to
00:39:42kind of
00:39:42talking why gwen look at the professional having himself a mighty conversation underestimate the
00:39:49apparel dash dash here dash

00:42:05oh
00:42:07oh
00:42:08oh
00:42:11oh
00:42:12oh
00:42:20oh
00:42:32oh
00:42:33Let's go.
00:43:17And I promise, as long as you kept up your studies, I guarantee your education, and I have.
00:43:28United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, Tom.
00:43:33A full academic scholarship for the next four years.
00:43:38I've also arranged for your graduate studies, following your time at West Point at the University of Missouri,
00:43:43where, as long as you keep up your marks, you'll study law.
00:43:56Now, Tahal, surely of all people, you aren't speechless.
00:44:03I'm sorry, sir.
00:44:04I'm just...
00:44:08I won't take this lightly, sir.
00:44:10I have no doubt.
00:44:13Now, another matter is your 18th birthday and your trust.
00:44:18Come on in, Huckleberry Finn.
00:44:19This affects you, too.
00:44:30Now, I know you boys have both grown accustomed to payments from the trust I started from that treasure you
00:44:35both found all those years ago.
00:44:38Now that you both turned 18, the terms of your trust offer you some options, and I reckon it's only
00:44:44right for you to learn them.
00:44:45You at least have to make a decision for yourself.
00:44:48Now, you can keep everything of the trust as is, and you'll still receive a modest allowance, which won't be
00:44:53enough to live off of,
00:44:55but will certainly afford you plenty of additional comfort and security.
00:44:59Or you can, however, otherwise decide to go ahead and take the money out of the trust in one lump
00:45:05sum,
00:45:06which you could then use to buy a home, start a business, or whatever you'd like.
00:45:11But then that'd be it. The trust would be gone.
00:45:15Now, Tom, with your expenses taken care of at West Point, I'd highly recommend keeping your trust in place,
00:45:22perhaps even deferring your weekly payments while you're in school to increase your investments.
00:45:26I was about to tell you, Judge, and that decision is set sure.
00:45:30All right.
00:45:32So, Huckleberry,
00:45:35Have you thought about your future?
00:45:40Now, Huck, I know you, both of you,
00:45:43seen an awful lot of adventure and an awful lot of life.
00:45:47Body has to admit I'm both admirers and jealous.
00:45:50But your Thomas boys is dusking up.
00:45:53You'll be men soon.
00:45:55Now, Huck, Tom has an impressive itinerary ahead of him the next few years.
00:45:59We've just been going over his plan.
00:46:01I've never seen no Tom story without a plan, sir.
00:46:04Of course. It's in his nature.
00:46:07What about yours, Huck?
00:46:10What's your nature?
00:46:14How's that?
00:46:15What you want out of life, Hucky?
00:46:20I'll take the lump sum, Judge.
00:46:25Now, Huck, are you sure what's on?
00:46:31I don't want to owe nothing to nobody, sir.
00:46:34The widow Douglas, she took me in and kept me and civilized me up and taught me religion.
00:46:39And I'm mighty grateful.
00:46:40And I reckon I owe her for all that room and board and kindness.
00:46:45I reckon I can spare what's left of the treasure to set her up nice.
00:46:52Well, Huckleberry Finn.
00:46:54That's a mighty swell thing to do.
00:46:57Well, it's a bully of a thing.
00:47:00But what about you?
00:47:02Have you seen an adequate occupation?
00:47:06I can hardly spend what you give me as it is, Judge.
00:47:09And I've got enough saved up to make my own way for a while.
00:47:13A long while, so...
00:47:15I reckon I already got the right occupation for me.
00:47:17Huck, you ain't got no occupation.
00:47:19Tom, the fish is going to catch themselves.
00:47:22The watermelon's going to eat themselves.
00:47:24The air out there is going to breathe itself.
00:47:28Huckleberry, those ain't occupations.
00:47:30That's just taking up space.
00:47:32Sounds like a right noble occupation to me, Judge.
00:47:36Not that I judge a body with amphibian, mind you.
00:47:39Ambition.
00:47:39Like Tom here.
00:47:40Why is Tom going to be president one day or some far-flung chic with wives aplenty like he always
00:47:45says?
00:47:46And that's good for Tom and all the talkers like him.
00:47:49And we need them to keep the economy going and the world populated.
00:47:53What, with all them wives?
00:47:55But I figure there's competition enough.
00:47:57And those that's happy with our circumstances, well, we oughtn't go in changing them just because we're supposed to.
00:48:04They don't make sense to me, Judge.
00:48:06You remember my pap, sir?
00:48:09I do.
00:48:10Well, sir, my pap, he was a bad man, sir.
00:48:14A social parasite.
00:48:17If he could amounted to even half of what I am, fishing and eating plied and minding my own keep,
00:48:23well, it'd be a miracle.
00:48:26Maybe this life ain't good enough for a sawyer, but it's more than good enough for a fit.
00:48:39How's the body argue with that?
00:48:52Look, it's Tom Sawyer.
00:48:53The train leaves out Monday, Tom?
00:48:55That's right.
00:48:56But we still got the weekend plans.
00:48:58I think Joe and them should already be down at Jackson's Isle, and once we get into more respectable duds,
00:49:02we oughtn't do the same.
00:49:05Four years in New York, huh?
00:49:06Good day, Mr. Sawyer.
00:49:08Well, I'll be back and forth, though, Hug.
00:49:10And then I'll be back in Missouri for law school.
00:49:13But not for good.
00:49:14Here he is.
00:49:15Now, how you know that?
00:49:16Because you're Tom.
00:49:21I guess this is the end of an era, Hug.
00:49:25Now you're really just gonna cash out next week and then sit around and do nothing for the rest of
00:49:29your days?
00:49:31I reckon so, Tom.
00:49:33Well, I don't understand it.
00:49:35You never have, Tom.
00:49:36But I can't believe you give up on all that adventuring.
00:49:39You're the adventurer.
00:49:40I've just tagged along time to time.
00:49:42You catch some adventures like fleas.
00:49:44And you don't?
00:49:45Hug, what about a few summers back when you went off with Jim downriver and had all kinds of adventures?
00:49:50Like those feudin' families and the Duke and the King and their royal non-set show?
00:49:55All comin' at you like you's a magnet, Hug.
00:49:57You can't repel all that glory forever.
00:49:59Now, that was different, Tom.
00:50:01Them had to be had.
00:50:02Jim's life was on the line.
00:50:03And when we trapped that rascal holding who ransacked the town or when we saved Uncle Silas from the hangman,
00:50:09all them adventures, they had to be had, Tom.
00:50:11Because the stakes were real.
00:50:13Ain't no sense in adventuring for nothing.
00:50:16Hi, Tom.
00:50:17You're attracting all commerce today, ain't you?
00:50:20Well, it's just a count of that article on me in the dispatch.
00:50:23All right.
00:50:24You're kind of coming out of the woodwork, though, don't you?
00:50:44That is what you're after.
00:50:46There are three forts on the aisle, one for each team.
00:50:49Protect your flag, capture theirs, win the game.
00:50:54Joe.
00:50:54Captain of the Greens has been recognized.
00:50:57What are we supposed to do, climb the tree?
00:50:59I'd like to see you try.
00:51:01Captain of the Reds has not been recognized.
00:51:03Oh, that's so Tom.
00:51:04Will the Captain of the Greens please address the neutralizing of the fishing?
00:51:07Yeah, screw you on up there.
00:51:09You think I can?
00:51:10Captains, please.
00:51:11You just said I wanted to see is all.
00:51:13He doesn't think you can do it, Becky.
00:51:15Irma, you're not even a captain.
00:51:17Fine.
00:51:32As the captain of the Reds has demonstrated,
00:51:34flags can be retrieved with magic magnet wands.
00:51:37Tom will distribute one to each of the captains of the teams.
00:51:47Want me to explain it, Hucky?
00:51:49It ain't really magic.
00:51:50No, it's just a magnet.
00:51:53I learned this one, Tom.
00:51:54See, there's this naturally occurring thing called magnetism,
00:51:57and it's something you can't see, but you know it's there.
00:52:00And it comes about because some materials have unique properties
00:52:03that create what a feller calls magnetic fields.
00:52:06Magnets, they're made up by folks to use magnetism to their advantage.
00:52:10And these made magnets have their very own magnetic fields,
00:52:13which folks can make by giving them different, what they call poles.
00:52:17North and South.
00:52:19These poles rappel poles that are alike and attract ones that ain't.
00:52:22They can also act on a distance with other materials like metal,
00:52:25iron, steel, brass, copper.
00:52:28They're all attracted to magnetic fields,
00:52:30and magnets are weak and strong and in between, like most things, I reckon.
00:52:36And a magnet with a strong enough magnetic field,
00:52:38why would rip a metal flag right off the tree?
00:52:41Wow.
00:52:43I think that earns you one duties today, Hucky.
00:52:45Really, Tom?
00:52:47I thought the captain...
00:52:48All right.
00:52:49Greens, glues, you have ten minutes to set your forts before we start.
00:53:08A'ight.
00:53:09Real strategists like us ought to scout their defenses before we move towards a capture.
00:53:13So, Ben, Wimp, you're with me.
00:53:15Up.
00:53:16Yeah, Tom.
00:53:17Uh, stay back and out of sight.
00:53:18A'ight.
00:53:19You want me to just do nothing?
00:53:21I thought that's what you like to do.
00:53:24There!
00:53:27You're spotted.
00:53:27You better tag him before they make it back to their fort.
00:53:29Tom, you want me to...
00:53:44Tom, Tom, Ben, Wimp.
00:53:54Must be the competition.
00:54:05Get you!
00:54:07No water!
00:54:10I say, do my poor old tired royal eyes deceive me, my dear Duke?
00:54:16Or is this our old mate, Huckleberry Finn?
00:54:22Oh, no!
00:54:30Thy place and counsel, thy hast rudely lost, and the hope and spectation of thy time is
00:54:35ruined, and ere man do prophetically think thy fault.
00:54:42The words of King Henry IV to his prodigal son, Hal.
00:54:47That's supposed to be me, Majesty?
00:54:49Why, Huck, weren't we once your most noblest and selfless keepers?
00:54:54Why, didn't me and the King care for your every ingrateful need and want, despite our
00:54:59royal blood and years of gutter track?
00:55:01And yet, you fled our charge the moment our backs were turned and we were indisposed.
00:55:06Yeah, when you were a tart and feathered...
00:55:08Hey!
00:55:10You watch your filthy mouth.
00:55:12I'll never give up Jim.
00:55:15Old Jim?
00:55:16Why, we've been on his trail for years, with phony papers claiming he's our runaway.
00:55:21Oh, Huck.
00:55:23Runaways is swole business.
00:55:26We're off to something big.
00:55:29You didn't take me to get to Jim, then.
00:55:31Why'd you take me?
00:55:43We have it.
00:55:48Hold it.
00:55:51In the chair.
00:55:59Time, nice and tight, Duke.
00:56:15Prisoner!
00:56:21Quick thinking, Becky.
00:56:24All right.
00:56:25Sid has captured Gwen, Wimp has captured Irma, and Becky has captured Tom.
00:56:31Now, time out while the prisoners are escorted to the Fort Prisons.
00:56:36And wait for my call to return in play.
00:56:43Maybe prison will keep you from leaving on Monday.
00:56:47Becky, your pa made all the arrangements.
00:56:50I know.
00:56:54Good thing Huck still has the wand.
00:57:02I thought the sheriff sent you down the river.
00:57:16He did, because of you.
00:57:21Fortune found me doing a farm.
00:57:24Chained up to these rum barrels, gags.
00:57:29By the by, I guess the talking.
00:57:32It seems we have a common history in you.
00:57:38Made an escape.
00:57:40Came to the hour I saw you last.
00:57:43I know that I'd run into you sooner rather than later.
00:57:47Your chickens come home to roost, Huck.
00:57:50You're gonna help us.
00:57:53What?
00:57:55You're getting rich.
00:57:58I know this is your best friend, Rodolph.
00:58:03He's tickled your advice treasure, though.
00:58:05Well, as much hassle as he caused me, taking that off his hands is the least he could do.
00:58:13Ain't no smarter way to get at it.
00:58:17Not through you.
00:58:21Tell him smart.
00:58:22He ain't falling for nothing.
00:58:35You ain't nothing like a gun or trash, boy.
00:58:38Just like your pal.
00:58:40Could have trashed that town on getting no hiding in here.
00:58:43He could go on his own.
00:58:46Make self-heel one and only friend.
00:58:52I'll do whatever we want to save you.
00:58:58So, boys.
00:59:01Roundup saw you.
00:59:03Let's get him a cook right now.
00:59:06I got a treasure, too.
00:59:12Me and Tom, we found it in a cave years ago.
00:59:16The judge has been keeping it for us.
00:59:18Trust.
00:59:21I'm due to get mine out.
00:59:23Lump some next week.
00:59:28This...
00:59:29He'll just leave Tom alone.
00:59:33The gym, too.
00:59:36Oh.
00:59:39It's yours.
00:59:45Who be warned to have you take your treasure off your up, Finn?
00:59:49Right after you take Tom.
00:59:52Right after you take Tom.
01:00:01Yeah, we won!
01:00:03See the concrete here.
01:00:06And the winner is Sid Sawyer and the Blues!
01:00:15Sorry, Tom.
01:00:16But it weren't on us.
01:00:18Yeah, Huck just wandered off.
01:00:20I mean, he took the Magnet Wand with him.
01:00:24What?
01:00:26You ain't seen Huck?
01:00:28Ain't no relying on him, Tom.
01:00:30Probably got it in him to go skip stones or go off fishing or raft out downriver.
01:00:38I don't know, Huck, leaving as high and dry.
01:00:43I wager he's upset about your leaving, Tom.
01:00:52I know a bunch of us, Sarah.
01:00:56I know a bunch of us, Sarah.
01:00:56But he'll be fine.
01:00:58We'll cheer up and he'll find you by morning, I'm sure.
01:01:01It's his nature.
01:01:03But it's best to just leave him be.
01:01:06For now.
01:01:06Come on.
01:01:23Stars are out.
01:01:25I say we've waited plenty.
01:01:26Aye.
01:01:28Aye.
01:01:29Now grab Sawyer and bring him here.
01:01:31Show him we got Huck and we mean business.
01:01:34Give him two days to make the arrangements.
01:01:36Then we start to set up body parts.
01:01:40All right, we'll take the pistol lead out.
01:01:43Is that really a two-man operation, I wonder?
01:01:47What are you saying, Huck?
01:01:49None of my business tell y'all professionals.
01:01:51Second.
01:01:53Now, go on.
01:01:55Well, Majesty,
01:01:57it seems to me if you're just frightened old Tom,
01:01:59he'd come easy to see about me if I was in trouble.
01:02:02You ain't need both royals out on the job, so...
01:02:06Why would Holden want to send both of you out?
01:02:11Unless...
01:02:12Oh...
01:02:13Enough!
01:02:14Just trying to turn us on each other.
01:02:15Hold on now, Huck, you go on to finish.
01:02:18Well, you had to capture me.
01:02:20I could have been dangerous, or could have runter fought back.
01:02:24So you sent two of them, which I reckon is sensible,
01:02:29but now that you got me,
01:02:31why would you want to send two people just to scare someone?
01:02:34It makes a body wonder, I reckon.
01:02:37It makes a body wonder about intentions.
01:02:40Why, while y'all are off scaring Tom,
01:02:43what's stopping Holden from taking me somewhere else?
01:02:45Scaring Tom on his own and...
01:02:47and taking both our treasures for itself?
01:02:49Shut up!
01:02:50Just trying to turn us on each other.
01:02:54Naughty boy, Huck Finn.
01:02:56Keep it up and you'll be early to your own funeral.
01:02:58I don't have to.
01:03:00And I'll be late.
01:03:05Since y'all ain't seen St. Pete yet,
01:03:08let's go over the back way to Sawyer's again.
01:03:10Of course, this gives the Royals a mighty opportunity as well.
01:03:15Now, Huck, what did we say?
01:03:18What now?
01:03:21Never mind, y'all are just gonna think I'm turning y'all against one another.
01:03:30You two go and get that boy without me.
01:03:34I might keep him for yourselves.
01:03:36Cut me out.
01:03:38But Holden, you still have Huck.
01:03:39You'd have half the treasure.
01:03:42Except there's two of you.
01:03:44Only one of me.
01:03:46You might get the drop on me.
01:03:49And don't forget, they sell those funny papers that say they own Jim.
01:03:53You do?
01:03:55Now, Jim is our playhold.
01:03:58Yeah, we've been after him for years.
01:04:01I thought we were some partners.
01:04:03Yes, we are, but let's-
01:04:04Get him!
01:04:05Papers!
01:04:14You got those papers.
01:04:16We ain't going nowhere tonight.
01:04:19The more than you trust the other one to go along?
01:04:27I reckon we ought to keep coming tomorrow.
01:04:45papers!
01:04:55Let's go!
01:04:58Let's go!
01:05:26Oh, Puck, why didn't you come home with me?
01:05:29Well, it's not.
01:06:00It took him back and it splashed.
01:06:09And it broke air bone in his body.
01:06:11Now, this rig was based on ancient York catapults, but I modernized the release.
01:06:16Yeah, same right here.
01:06:24You rarely built such a contraption.
01:06:27Yep, I told you.
01:06:28Traps and devices are my specialty.
01:06:30How do you crank this thing up?
01:06:32I thought you were going to do it.
01:06:48Get out of the rope.
01:06:49And then he's just rolling down.
01:06:52Look at that.
01:06:52What's the cost?
01:06:53Look at his foot.
01:06:55Now, what's he doing?
01:06:57Is that another boot?
01:07:01Is that one like a bear trap?
01:07:04Is that one like a bear trap?
01:07:11Is that one like a bear trap?
01:07:15Is that one like a bear trap?
01:07:16All right, seven out.
01:07:18Push the ring.
01:07:19Let's see.
01:07:29Okay, now, see here, Holden, if you can rig such a thing, why don't you just booby trap the boy?
01:07:33Aye, that'll keep you from trying to flee while all three of us are gone.
01:07:37That's a thought now.
01:07:42We can all get Sauger and then...
01:07:55That boy wouldn't have a mind to say no to a...
01:08:00Pistol!
01:08:03Now we're going to talk about a new plan.
01:08:07That barrel ain't got one round, did it?
01:08:10We're rushing.
01:08:11Can't give it one of us!
01:08:12One of us!
01:08:16Hey!
01:08:19You ain't got the guts.
01:08:20Nah, it ain't in it!
01:08:23This man!
01:08:29Hey!
01:08:30Get hurt!
01:08:33Ah!
01:08:34Put it off your alley, my husband!
01:08:37We don't burn your stomach for you!
01:08:45Tom!
01:08:50Look, boys.
01:08:52He's coming by a parcel.
01:08:54Tom, the pistol's empty!
01:08:56Run for him!
01:08:58I don't need no pistol to take to.
01:09:08I reckon you should have brought an army.
01:09:11Gosh.
01:09:12Wish I'd have thought of that.
01:09:28Oh, shucks.
01:09:29Hands up!
01:09:29I reckon I did.
01:09:31Come on out!
01:09:33Hands up!
01:09:34Got marksmen on all sides!
01:09:36Got you.
01:09:37Get to rights!
01:09:38Make a move towards the boy or the barn and we'll shoot!
01:09:43That's them, Jim!
01:09:44That's them, Jim!
01:09:49Yeah, that's them.
01:09:51That's them!
01:09:52Come running for you, Huck.
01:10:07See the Cochran hero comes
01:10:11Sound the trumpets, bang the drums
01:10:15See the Cochran hero comes
01:10:19Sound the trumpets, bang the drums
01:10:23Bully for Tom Sawyer
01:10:25Vanquish your advantage, conquer your conspiracies
01:10:33The town's gonna miss you Tom
01:10:35Just the town
01:10:37Now Tom Sawyer, are you asking me to wait for you?
01:10:41I am
01:10:42Well that's a double binding contract Tom
01:10:44I'll be constant Becky
01:10:46No, four years is a long time
01:10:47But I'd like to see us try
01:10:57Sheriff's just made the arrangements boys
01:11:00Those vandals yell now to be heading back down the river this weekend
01:11:03Leave us naturally phony papers
01:11:07My word, we'll do our best to add 20 years to their sentences
01:11:13What a sting dog
01:11:14Tom?
01:11:15Well, I'm glad to hear justice will have its day, Judge
01:11:18Did you hear how Tom outfoxed those varmints?
01:11:21I heard he took on all three, so
01:11:22Disarmed them then and there
01:11:24It was mighty fisticuffs, I heard
01:11:26The big brother was ready for the challenge
01:11:28Save the town at the expense of a third funeral for...
01:11:31Poor Huck Finn
01:11:36Really?
01:11:37The hell it was, Tom?
01:11:39Blown out, Judge
01:11:40Bully it was, Judge
01:11:42Tom came in fist a-blazin'
01:11:44Took out all three of them himself
01:11:46I was just trapped and helpless, but
01:11:49Tom was...
01:11:50White Knight hero coming home
01:11:52I don't know where I need to go
01:11:56I heard the way it was, Huck
01:11:58Sure it was, Tom
01:12:00Huck, you can't hide from all the glory forever
01:12:03Well, in the history books
01:12:05Side by side, it will always be
01:12:07Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
01:12:11Sure it will be, Tom
01:12:18Now, Tom, I've come find you this morning
01:12:21I want you to meet this here fellow
01:12:23Pleasure
01:12:24This newspaper made out of San Francisco
01:12:26Saw you right up in the St. Louis Dispatch
01:12:29Name's, uh...
01:12:30Clements
01:12:31I'd like to talk to you, Tom
01:12:33About publishing your life story
01:12:37My life story?
01:12:39Well, I bet the Adventures of Tom Sawyer
01:12:43Could be a best-seller
01:12:48Wow!
01:13:02Look like maybe you're outgrown
01:13:04Steeping barrels, Huck Finn
01:13:08You know me, sir?
01:13:09Aye
01:13:11Clements
01:13:12I'm a newspaper man
01:13:13Came in town to talk to Tom Sawyer
01:13:19Oh
01:13:21Heard a lot of tales since I've been here
01:13:24Tales from Judge Thatcher
01:13:27From Love Potter
01:13:29From Tom's Aunt Polly
01:13:32Seems like every adventure Tom Sawyer's ever been on
01:13:35Right there by his side's been Huckleberry Finn
01:13:40And then...
01:13:42Then I talked to Jim Watson
01:13:46Talked to Jim?
01:13:48Seems like you've had quite a few adventures yourself
01:13:53You'll do right writing about Tom
01:13:55I ain't no adventure
01:13:56I just wanna keep out of trouble
01:13:59Well, Tom...
01:14:01Tom's one's meant to be written about
01:14:03He's a big talker
01:14:05And big talkers where they can't write their own story
01:14:08Is to have the patience and all the inclination
01:14:11And big talkers, they're the ones people wanna read about
01:14:14And big talkers, they sell a lot of books
01:14:17Sometimes they tell the truth
01:14:19Most of the time they stretch it a little
01:14:21And they shape policy and culture
01:14:24Cause what they sell is simple and easy
01:14:26Even the most self-righteous folks don't realize they get fooled
01:14:33The small talkers
01:14:38Well...
01:14:39The world don't want them, but the world needs them
01:14:42They give the world perspective
01:14:46The honesty
01:14:47The honesty
01:14:48The both sides of a little rat
01:14:49And the both sides of a little home
01:14:54The nuance
01:14:55The shades of gray to make up this world
01:15:00They keep the tyrants out of power
01:15:02And out of favor in the public opinion
01:15:04Who's nature bold appears
01:15:06Otherwise one kind of is
01:15:13Now maybe Tom Sawyer's story needs to be told
01:15:16Or...
01:15:17Maybe I don't wanna tell it
01:15:22The invention is a hell could be a human
01:15:27Nah, this is still the only you can tell
01:15:32I ain't never told no stories
01:15:35No?
01:15:36Huh
01:15:41That's interesting
01:15:47How'd you know?
01:15:50I didn't write by my real name
01:15:53You even mailed it without an address for a return
01:15:56The more I learn about you, more clearly you become
01:16:01You're a good friend
01:16:02Huh?
01:16:06And uh...
01:16:07You got problems with words too
01:16:11Maybe too good
01:16:12Maybe too good
01:16:12That got me in a lot of trouble
01:16:16And I also brought me here
01:16:19Now the whole world's gonna know about
01:16:21Tom Sawyer
01:16:22Your best friend
01:16:26You ever think about getting serious about your own stories up?
01:16:30You let me know
01:16:34Mark Twain?
01:16:37I don't write by my real name either
01:16:39I don't write by my real name either
01:17:02Huck, you coming down for breakfast this morning?
01:17:04Uh, after a while, Miss Douglas
01:17:06I thought I might work a piece and build up some appetite
01:17:10Well, Polly told me that Tom made it to school
01:17:12That he's doing well
01:17:14He's making friends
01:17:16That's Tom's nature
01:17:18Well, as many letters as he sent you
01:17:21I really reckoned he weren't
01:17:23That's Tom's nature too
01:17:26You know, Huck, I just want you to know how proud I am
01:17:29That you changed your mind on that trust
01:17:34You keeping me company here
01:17:37That is payment enough
01:17:41And, you know, it does somebody good
01:17:45To see you with such ambition
01:17:49Fully for you, Huck
01:17:51I know it's on the track
01:17:51I know it's on the track
01:18:00You know it's on the track
01:18:09It's on the track
01:18:18The one who's left is on the track
01:18:20And Tom, and Jim, Becky, and Sid, and Joe, and Mr. Mark Twain, and all the rest.
01:18:27And maybe now you're satisfied after all these adventures.
01:18:30I know Tom Sawyer ain't.
01:18:33But I reckon Tom Sawyer never will be, so I guess I ain't either.
01:18:37Because no matter where Tom Sawyer goes, no matter where I go, it's just like Tom said.
01:18:43In the history books, in life, side by side, it'll always be.
01:18:48Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
01:19:20.
01:19:20.
01:19:20.
