00:01:01I reckon the biggest lie he told, and I ain't ever seen anybody but lie one time or another, was
00:01:07what they call the lie of old mittens.
00:01:10Cause see, while Mr. Mark Twain sure did write down an awful lot of them adventures, he never wrote them
00:01:16all.
00:01:17I suppose 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 we saw, and Muff Potter getting blamed
00:01:30for it, and me and Tom being took for dead, and then coming back to tell the truth, and it
00:01:34was 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, escaping my drunk path and heading the
00:01:50wrong 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, the Duke of Bilgewater and the King of
00:02:00France.
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, about me and Tom turning genuine detectives, catching a killer.
00:02:12For that time me, Tom, and Jim were all taken hostigated, and a balloon bound for Africa.
00:02:17And maybe, maybe them adventures isn't up.
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 that'd come to your conclusions, Hucky.
00:03:07Well, how 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 sky.
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.
00:04:15Kinda wish you didn't know that, Tom.
00:04:17You didn't know Poppies means a bloodsucker.
00:04:20Not to speak ill of the dead, Huck, but I wouldn't put in no stock anything your Pat Finn ever
00:04:25said.
00:04:26Besides, he meant it in a metaphorical sense.
00:04:28Like you live off, Hulk, cause you skip out a score and have no occupation.
00:04:32But 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 Holt.
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.
00:04:57Selling up all kinds of trouble and getting the whole town word 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, ransacking the whole blame town and making for
00:05:14the river.
00:05:14That's how I figured it too, Tom.
00:05:16With no steamboats due to tomorrow morning.
00:05:19I guess he has to be out here.
00:05:20Unless he's powerful at Illinois shore.
00:05:23Well, that rascal's still here.
00:05:27A dead foe!
00:05:29Yep.
00:05:30Looks like he rigged up some of his security traps out here too.
00:05:36Have 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.
00:05:49Then 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 hold and...
00:06:12Exactly, Huck.
00:06:13See, once gravity gets a hold, all 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, that speed and mass affect the amount of kinetic energy an object has.
00:06:26It's a 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.
00:06:37Tom!
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 was all bent back, got free of this wire, and went back to normal like it wants
00:06:55to...
00:06:56It'd make quite a ruckus, huh, Tom?
00:06:58Sound travels at about 760 miles per hour, Hucky.
00:07:02Best to avoid havin' to outrun that number.
00:07:14Reckon that holden still has Aunt Pauly's Bible he stole from out of her lock cabinet?
00:07:18I reckon he still got all this pilferin', Huck.
00:07:20Won't fence it till he's a few days from St. Petersburg, the way I figure it.
00:07:23I reckon I'd never seen no one, so I'd have 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 making off with it, either.
00:07:51Taking 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, Hucky.
00:08:00A parasite ain't a place in this world for that kind of man.
00:08:09Look past those trees.
00:08:12It's a scam, Tom.
00:08:19And I bet that trip rides this last line of defense.
00:08:22The warning trap to beat all warning traps.
00:08:25How's that when we're at 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 for sneaking in there.
00:08:41Wait a minute.
00:08:42Hucky, do I got an idea?
00:08:43How's that?
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
00:08:57where we're sure to stay clear of the trails I got plans for.
00:09:01When you see me take off from him,
00:09:02there's no good holding you to be right behind.
00:09:05If he is,
00:09:06then you go and get back all his loot
00:09:08so we can take it back to him that it belongs to.
00:09:10You sure about this, Tom?
00:09:12Trust me, Hucky.
00:09:33I see you coming, you crook!
00:09:50Tom!
00:10:04You 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!
00:10:13You're pretending.
00:10:14I know your pal.
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 to turn on one another.
00:10:25To distrust and suspect their neighbors.
00:10:28They've known their whole life of covetous and pilfering.
00:10:32You think they can think of you any kind of way besides a filthy, mean, spirited son of Pep Finn?
00:10:40The most useless man this town's ever known.
00:10:45You owe him nothing.
00:10:49You get me out of here and we take off down the river among our kind.
00:10:56Living our way.
00:10:57Because, boy, we ain't nothing but good old social parasites.
00:11:05That's how we made it.
00:11:07That's who we are.
00:11:11There ain't no place in this world for our kind.
00:11:30There ain't no place in this world for our kind.
00:11:31Nor no metaphor.
00:11:32At least, wise, I'm no parasite.
00:11:34I'm Huckleberry Finn and I'm Tom Sawyer'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 forgot all about his traps and walked right into it.
00:11:51He just kept on blowing that pistol of his and trying to get free.
00:11:54And I just kept running it.
00:11:56I don't blame you none, Tom Sawyer.
00:11:58Did you get the swag?
00:12:00I'll probably buy one of them.
00:12:02Let's make tracks back to town and get the share.
00:12:04I'm sure he'll be mighty interested in 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!
00:12:19The rest of my days!
00:12:21I swear!
00:12:24Say we should help him, Tom.
00:12:25Thanks for 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 on his fellow men.
00:12:44Hey, Tom, I thought you called that an attractive.
00:12:49Get away!
00:12:54Get away!
00:12:55Get away!
00:13:13You should have talked to me first, Tom.
00:13:17Huckie, how many years you known me?
00:13:20Too many, Tom.
00:13:21And do I ever seek your consultation
00:13:23on matters of business?
00:13:24You never tell me nothing
00:13:26when there's something on the line.
00:13:28Especially when it's my something.
00:13:30I don't know if I had a cat you got there
00:13:31was the only thing I got left from Cairo.
00:13:33It's my pride and joy.
00:13:34Huck, it's the only way
00:13:36I can get back that 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 by now
00:13:42I don't take a bet
00:13:42that ain't a gimme?
00:13:45You're more right than wrong,
00:13:46sure enough, Tom.
00:13:48But you ain't always right.
00:13:52And every blamed soul in St. Petersburg knows
00:13:55that 30 pounds of feathers
00:13:56is heavier than a 10-pound stone.
00:13:59Who said it weren't, Huckie?
00:14:00That ain't one I'm aiming to disprove.
00:14:03You bet your little brother...
00:14:05Half-brother.
00:14:06All right, you bet, Sid, my mommy cat
00:14:08that this bag of feathers
00:14:09will land the same time
00:14:11as his 10-pound stone
00:14:12when we drop them both off garbage rice.
00:14:14That's what we spit on.
00:14:16Tom, 30 pounds is gonna fall
00:14:19a heck of a lot faster
00:14:20than 10-pound stone.
00:14:22What?
00:14:23I reckon three times as fast.
00:14:25Think so, Huck.
00:14:26Seems right to me.
00:14:27And how's that, Huck?
00:14:29Well, you know, Gravy and...
00:14:32Ian Hurtschow
00:14:33and all that book-learning stuff.
00:14:35Well, the heavier something is,
00:14:37the quicker it falls stands to reason.
00:14:39Exactly, Huck.
00:14:40Stands to reason.
00:14:41That's the trick.
00:14:44Tom, you done outfoxed so many stitches
00:14:46around so many different ways.
00:14:48Let's tell you outfoxed yourself.
00:14:50Nah, Huckie.
00:14:51It stands to reason,
00:14:52but it ain't the way it actually works.
00:14:55See, when they fall,
00:14:57objects, regardless of their mass
00:14:58or how much they weigh,
00:14:59fall at the same rate,
00:15:00meaning, Huckie, not the same speed,
00:15:02but the same acceleration.
00:15:04That's because the amount of force gravity
00:15:06puts on a given object
00:15:07is dependent on its mass.
00:15:09So, a heavy object with a lot of mass,
00:15:11like that big bag of feathers,
00:15:12is pulled harder by gravity
00:15:14than that 10-pound stone.
00:15:19If you say so, Tom.
00:15:21I says it.
00:15:22Now, I told that little rapscallion
00:15:24to keep momming about this whole affair.
00:15:27Didn't you?
00:15:27I reckon you won a crowd, Tom.
00:15:29If we're quick,
00:15:30we can get these proceedings along
00:15:31for Becky ever knows
00:15:32I gave away that time piece
00:15:33she gave me last time recorded.
00:15:35I think it was the last time
00:15:36before the last time.
00:15:38Maybe you're right, Huckie.
00:15:40But if you can't keep track
00:15:41of your own romantic Eskimos,
00:15:42I suppose there's no chance, no way.
00:15:49Thomas Sire!
00:15:54You ready to get your nose, Tom?
00:16:00Tom.
00:16:02Tom!
00:16:03Are you the reason for this foolishness?
00:16:05Huck helped.
00:16:06As usual,
00:16:07I told you this was another
00:16:08Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, Matt.
00:16:10Tom Sawyer?
00:16:11You are the most narcissistic,
00:16:13humiliating, self-obsessed quarter
00:16:15that I have ever seen in my life.
00:16:17You know,
00:16:18Bo Laxley came to court
00:16:19him just last week.
00:16:20Bo Laxley.
00:16:21Now that's a boy
00:16:21who can keep his nose clean.
00:16:23He came calling right after you.
00:16:25But I was already spoken for
00:16:26and now I'm stuck
00:16:27with a lifetime
00:16:28of these shenanigans.
00:16:29Oh, sorry you ain't
00:16:30courting Bo, Becky.
00:16:31Nobody likes Bo Laxley.
00:16:32Yuck.
00:16:33I was just trying to learn
00:16:34you on the embarrassment
00:16:35I feel in my heart
00:16:36when you're up to these troubles.
00:16:37Oh, and Tom's real sorry
00:16:38about giving away
00:16:39that time piece
00:16:40you gave him to court in the past.
00:16:42My time piece?
00:16:44You gave away my time piece?
00:16:46What's a gift
00:16:46mean to Tom Sawyer?
00:16:47Found as much as 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 kept it
00:17:00from me in the first place.
00:17:02This is about the drama,
00:17:03the theatrics,
00:17:04the spectacle.
00:17:05It always is with you.
00:17:07This is about your pride,
00:17:09Tom.
00:17:10Tom.
00:17:10That's what you serve.
00:17:15Tom.
00:17:17What?
00:17:21Go win your silly bet.
00:17:28One time piece
00:17:30coming up.
00:17:49All right, Sid.
00:17:51You got the time piece?
00:17:52Right here.
00:17:54Tom, you got hooks, dead cat?
00:17:56Right here.
00:18:06I told you to keep mum,
00:18:07Sid.
00:18:08Pretty big crowd.
00:18:09If and only one of us
00:18:10talked it up.
00:18:11Word travels.
00:18:13Especially from two ports.
00:18:15I've been out on that prize
00:18:16a while now, Tom.
00:18:17I know it, Sid.
00:18:18Why?
00:18:19I don't need no time piece.
00:18:20I didn't even need it
00:18:21when you gave it to me.
00:18:22It's just a bond.
00:18:24If and I'm honest,
00:18:25thought I might come in handy,
00:18:26but to have to say,
00:18:27I'm surprised
00:18:27it's just how handy it came.
00:18:29Tell you what.
00:18:31I'll make you an offer.
00:18:32I'll trade you.
00:18:34Straight up.
00:18:41She ain't mine to trade, Sid.
00:18:43But she's yours to gamble?
00:18:44Ain't much a gamble
00:18:45when you know you're gonna win.
00:18:47All right, boys.
00:18:49Weigh in, Sam.
00:19:02Let the minutes show
00:19:04that the bag of feathers
00:19:05is heavier than the stone.
00:19:07Let the dropping commence.
00:19:14Last chance out, Tom.
00:19:15Why do I need to trade
00:19:16when I'm about to get both
00:19:18and humble you to boot?
00:19:21Because that's what you're really after.
00:19:22Ain't you?
00:19:24Humbling?
00:19:27When it's them that deserves it.
00:19:29All right, you two.
00:19:30On my mark.
00:19:42Three, Mississippi.
00:19:44Two, Mississippi.
00:19:47One, Mississippi.
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 dump them,
00:19:58not 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.
00:20:06Except that ain't the truth.
00:20:09This here,
00:20:09a 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 Bill Henley
00:20:21yesterday morning.
00:20:23Just ask me.
00:20:31Huck Finn?
00:20:33Is this a 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
00:20:54is 30 pounds of feathers.
00:20:57Won't it be the same
00:20:58bag or no?
00:20:59So Tom thought
00:21:00he'd out smart, Sid.
00:21:02That Sid wouldn't know
00:21:03if things fall
00:21:03at the same rate.
00:21:05Wish they'd 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,
00:21:14Huckleberry.
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
00:21:19if gravity is the only factor
00:21:21on an object falling.
00:21:22But they've got more
00:21:23acting on them 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're about the same density,
00:21:32so they'll fall
00:21:32at the same time.
00:21:34But, Huck,
00:21:34if 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
00:21:41are 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
00:21:47a good few seconds
00:21:48after the stone.
00:21:56Tom!
00:21:58Tom,
00:21:59take the train!
00:22:00Get your piece!
00:22:08Joe,
00:22:09let's start again.
00:22:12Startin' again.
00:22:13On the mark.
00:22:19Three, Mississippi.
00:22:22Two, Mississippi.
00:22:24One, Mississippi.
00:22:30Yes!
00:22:38Yes!
00:22:49I'm sorry, Tom.
00:22:52That stone landed mighty sooner
00:22:53in them mess of feathers.
00:22:56Sid Sawyer
00:22:57is the winner!
00:23:09I don't see what you like
00:23:24about that Tom Sawyer.
00:23:25Bessie by his little brother,
00:23:27Sid.
00:23:28Becky,
00:23:28you can do better.
00:23:29Let's get back to safety.
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.
00:23:54I'm sorry about your cat.
00:23:54I reckon we've been sharing
00:23:56a room too long.
00:23:58Can't believe that little Brad
00:24:00outfoxed me.
00:24:03And now, Becky's Tom piece
00:24:04is gone for good.
00:24:05And what about your cat?
00:24:08So what if it's a mummy?
00:24:11One dead cat's as good
00:24:12as the other, I suppose,
00:24:13and those are right
00:24:15easy enough to come by.
00:24:17You sure are taking
00:24:18this well, Huck.
00:24:21That was your pride and joy.
00:24:24Well, pride?
00:24:27Ain't never been
00:24:28too much of use to me, Tom.
00:24:31I come from,
00:24:32well, you know
00:24:34where I come from.
00:24:36Pride just gets
00:24:37in 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.
00:25:01It's just
00:25:03a part of me.
00:25:09Why'd you sign away
00:25:10my scheme, Huck?
00:25:11With Sid?
00:25:12I didn't know
00:25:13about your scheme, Tom.
00:25:14You didn't tell me
00:25:15about your scheme.
00:25:16He said we need to make
00:25:17this legitimate
00:25:17and 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 it.
00:25:31He knew I wouldn't
00:25:32talk to you about my scheme
00:25:33because
00:25:35I need to show it off.
00:25:38And I underestimated
00:25:39and that's for sure.
00:25:41I won't make that same
00:25:42mistake again.
00:25:44Just like I won't be
00:25:45betting away anything else
00:25:46that don't belong to me
00:25:47on a gimme, neither.
00:25:56I'm sorry, Huck.
00:26:06What is Becky right, Huck?
00:26:09You only got to master
00:26:10if you serve it, Tom.
00:26:15Well, don't you
00:26:15got to serve?
00:26:16Something's in life.
00:26:27You think Becky will ever
00:26:28speak to me again
00:26:29or we done courting
00:26:29for good?
00:26:31I don't think you have
00:26:32to worry about Becky
00:26:33Thatcher now, Tom Sawyer.
00:26:35Now, when are you going to
00:26:36tell me about this new scheme
00:26:37we're cooking up
00:26:38to get back
00:26:39what's ours from sin?
00:26:41Now, I am glad
00:26:43you say that,
00:26:44Huckleberry Finn.
00:26:45Because if I do,
00:26:46you've got a new plan
00:26:47to brew it.
00:26:47Sure.
00:26:48And it is a good one.
00:26:49But of course,
00:26:50this time we can't take
00:26:51nothing for granted.
00:26:52We've got to be smart,
00:26:53not cocky,
00:26:54if you'll be able to do it.
00:27:40That was a skimmer, Tom.
00:27:41That's all just an
00:27:42understanding of the
00:27:43physics, Joe.
00:27:44You master the physics,
00:27:45you master the world.
00:27:46Nah, that weren't
00:27:47nothing, Joe.
00:27:48Watch this.
00:27:57Oh, I think
00:27:58Hucky's got you beat, Tom.
00:27:59You blind Joe Harper.
00:28:01You know mine went
00:28:02further, Tom.
00:28:02Why are you making a fuss?
00:28:03Huck, you mullet head.
00:28:05The measure ain't
00:28:05the distance,
00:28:06it's the form.
00:28:07Besides,
00:28:08I've got to get
00:28:08two or three more
00:28:09skips out of my sauce.
00:28:10On account of the physics,
00:28:11like I said.
00:28:12You're supposed to
00:28:12control the physics,
00:28:13Huck.
00:28:13That's the game.
00:28:14You're making up rules
00:28:15as you want them,
00:28:16not 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
00:28:22it's the form you grade.
00:28:24Well, honest, Tom,
00:28:26I don't know hardly
00:28:27nothing about this
00:28:28business of physics
00:28:30and stones skipping,
00:28:31least of which
00:28:32I'd grade it.
00:28:33But it seems to me,
00:28:35though, Tom,
00:28:36that Huck's got
00:28:37the more logical point.
00:28:38Ha, your face, Tom.
00:28:40Yeah, hey, Joe,
00:28:41save the logic
00:28:42for those of us
00:28:42that's got it in spades,
00:28:43huh?
00:28:44Any chucklehead
00:28:45can throw their arm
00:28:45at a socket
00:28:46and get good distance
00:28:47with the form of the skips.
00:28:49The dance of the stone
00:28:50or the water.
00:28:51That's the real game.
00:28:54Well, I reckon
00:28:55you do make a good point.
00:28:56Joe, you fare well.
00:28:58Now y'all put me
00:28:58in a mighty awful spot.
00:29:00I told y'all
00:29:01I don't know nothing
00:29:02about this business.
00:29:03Well, what do you look for
00:29:04when you skip, Joe?
00:29:06The distance
00:29:06like a real Missourian
00:29:07or something
00:29:09highfalutin' like form.
00:29:11Well, I can't say
00:29:12I go for nothing.
00:29:13Huck, you mean
00:29:15you ain't never thought about it?
00:29:16I mean,
00:29:17I ain't done it.
00:29:19Tom,
00:29:19I ain't never
00:29:20skip no stone.
00:29:24Well, Joe,
00:29:26stone skipping's
00:29:27right up there
00:29:27with mumbly pegging
00:29:28and swimming
00:29:28for best summer's
00:29:29pastime
00:29:29in all St. Petersburg.
00:29:32Well, I can't believe
00:29:33you missed out.
00:29:34Well, I can't stand it.
00:29:39What you at there, Tom?
00:29:41About time you got
00:29:41an education
00:29:42in stone skipping, Joe.
00:29:43Step one
00:29:44is find the right stone.
00:29:46Won't just any stone do?
00:29:48No way, Joe.
00:29:49Get the wrong stone,
00:29:50you might as well be
00:29:52chucking Becky Thatcher
00:29:53in the water.
00:29:54Get about the same distance.
00:29:56Well, actually, Huck,
00:29:57so long as you go
00:29:57by what the physics want,
00:29:59most rocks will skip some.
00:30:00Even a humongous rock
00:30:01if you throw it hard enough.
00:30:02But, for the absolute
00:30:04most impressive results
00:30:05the human arm can get,
00:30:06certain kinds of the best.
00:30:08See, here,
00:30:11a nice stone
00:30:12with a flat edge
00:30:13and a round base.
00:30:14Now, in order to make her skip,
00:30:17there are two major factors
00:30:18to consider
00:30:18when dealing
00:30:19with an optimized stone
00:30:20like this one.
00:30:21Number one,
00:30:21the angle and rotation
00:30:22of how I throw it.
00:30:24Number two,
00:30:24the angle at which
00:30:25it hits the water.
00:30:27These others factors, too,
00:30:28like its size and mass
00:30:29and the condition
00:30:29of the water's surface.
00:30:31But, with a stone like this
00:30:32and you can kind of
00:30:33take those things
00:30:33for granted
00:30:34on a nice day like today.
00:30:35Now, let's talk it through
00:30:36as we go.
00:30:37Number one,
00:30:38the angle at which
00:30:39the stone is thrown.
00:30:41See, how you throw it
00:30:42directly impacts
00:30:42two things that are important
00:30:44in getting a stone to skip.
00:30:45It creates the momentum
00:30:46for the mass and motion
00:30:47of the stone.
00:30:48And it also affects
00:30:49the second major factor,
00:30:51the angle at which
00:30:51the stone hits the water.
00:30:53Now, you see how
00:30:54I got my arm
00:30:54cocked and loaded?
00:30:56Yeah, looks like
00:30:57you're going to pull
00:30:57something, Tom.
00:30:59Yeah, that's so
00:31:00I can fling a sidearm.
00:31:01The other important part
00:31:02is how I hold the stone.
00:31:03Now, you see how
00:31:04I got it wedged
00:31:05between my thumb
00:31:06and index finger?
00:31:07How I got my index finger
00:31:08wrapped around it?
00:31:09That's so.
00:31:10When I let it go
00:31:11and let it roll
00:31:12off the tips of my fingers,
00:31:13it puts the stone
00:31:14in a natural spin.
00:31:17Now, let's throw it
00:31:18and I'll show you
00:31:19how it skips in actuality
00:31:20thanks to master the physics.
00:31:26Watch it with them
00:31:27stones, boys.
00:31:29See, thanks to the
00:31:30principle of the
00:31:31conservation of momentum,
00:31:32the stone doesn't lose
00:31:33momentum from the throw
00:31:34when it collides with the water.
00:31:35Now, all the momentum
00:31:36has got to go somewhere.
00:31:37So, if you look real close,
00:31:39Joe, you could have seen
00:31:40that when the stone
00:31:40hit the water
00:31:41on the first skip,
00:31:42it actually entered the water
00:31:43for a hair.
00:31:44But, thanks to all that
00:31:45momentum I gave it
00:31:46with my throw,
00:31:47it created a gully
00:31:48or a cavity in the water
00:31:50that the stone
00:31:50then slings itself out of.
00:31:52Then, its pitch angle
00:31:53out of the cavity
00:31:53creates a lifting force
00:31:54which causes the stone
00:31:56to skip along
00:31:56and repeat the process
00:31:57all over.
00:31:58Now, as the stone
00:31:59continues this
00:31:59over and over,
00:32:00it slowly loses its momentum
00:32:02and it eventually sinks.
00:32:03But, if you take
00:32:04all them factors
00:32:05I told you about
00:32:06into consideration,
00:32:07you get a mighty
00:32:08whole lot of skips
00:32:08before it sinks for good.
00:32:10Makes sense.
00:32:11Give it a try, huh, Joe?
00:32:13And make sure you
00:32:14try for form.
00:32:15Nah, Joe.
00:32:16Ain't no way
00:32:17to master physics.
00:32:18You can't outsmart
00:32:19a good, honest throw
00:32:20for distance.
00:32:33Alright now,
00:32:34you can relax some.
00:32:35You're not here
00:32:36scaring crows, are you?
00:32:49What form?
00:32:51What distance?
00:32:52What did I do?
00:32:55What did I say
00:32:57about them stones?
00:32:59What did I tell you?
00:33:00Master of the physics?
00:33:02Master of the world?
00:33:03Master?
00:33:04I didn't mean to do that, Tom.
00:33:06I didn't mean to
00:33:07believe that old
00:33:07poor Chopped Ma.
00:33:08Look, only pieces
00:33:09we can control now
00:33:10is how fast
00:33:11we make tracks.
00:33:51You know, or should I be
00:34:15We're getting closer together, and this is the third load already.
00:34:18Your paul 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, student judges will be elected like the president and not
00:34:33appointed by the governor like they are now.
00:34:35It says not everybody can see it coming, but he can.
00:34:39Does your paul order for president, Becky?
00:34:40No, he's just afraid of offending the people who could have the power to take away his job.
00:34:45He doesn't want to underestimate the voice of the populace because it could be at his peril.
00:34:49See, people talk, and that talk can get teep.
00:34:52And he and the district attorney just want to focus on that which will make good talk and not bad.
00:34:57And stopping illegal trappers ain't big enough to help good talk.
00:35:00That sounds like fiction to me.
00:35:01Ain't enough populace about these parts to bring any kind of change like that, my paul 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.
00:35:40What are you talking about?
00:35:43Sorry, was I just thinking?
00:35:45I was just thinking an Animal Congress.
00:35:48A what?
00:35:49An Animal Congress.
00:35:50Like how we got your paw to enforce the laws.
00:35:52Well, most laws.
00:35:54And how we got the sheriff and the bodies of the government who work together, so we
00:35:57the 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.
00:36:03But wouldn't that be something?
00:36:05If all the dogs fill out 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.
00:36:11Why waste breath on such ridiculous fancy?
00:36:14There'd be a lot less for us to do.
00:36:15What's ridiculous?
00:36:16Bowers couldn't always talk.
00:36:17We had savage times.
00:36:19We'll just have careers for one day too.
00:36:20Irma, not only is that impossible, but it's not right heretical.
00:36:25Okay, 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.
00:36:37Now how so, Becky Thatcher?
00:36:40Won't you learn his parole 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 a trap, ain't he?
00:36:54Why, that's a croak, Becky Thatcher.
00:36:56Right, that don't count.
00:36:57Well, 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 scents.
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 mean 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.
00:38:04And of course, dogs.
00:38:23Have fun.
00:38:47So are you going to kill them?
00:39:12You mean some animals can talk by vibrating their bodies?
00:39:15Yep.
00:39:16Spiders do with their spider webs.
00:39:17And through touch?
00:39:18Yep.
00:39:19Especially when they're learning to be social.
00:39:21Like a dog or cat playing or ants leading one another to food.
00:39:24And even through electricity?
00:39:26I didn't even know electricity was real.
00:39:28Yep.
00:39:29Eels communicate with one another and learn more about the world around them through the
00:39:32electrical charge they got in their bodies.
00:39:34I don't know.
00:39:35Maybe they talk in a manner of saying, but you really think an animal like that can speak
00:39:40to us in a complex enough way for it to kind of talk to us?
00:39:43Why, Gwen?
00:39:44What did the professor know?
00:39:45Having himself a mighty conversation.
00:39:47Underestimate the mature peril.
00:39:50Dash!
00:39:53Dash!
00:39:57Here, Dash!
00:40:02I said Dash!
00:40:03I said Dash!
00:40:17Sorry.
00:40:18Thought I saw it.
00:40:19Beccy!
00:40:22I'm fine.
00:40:23I'm okay.
00:40:23I just, I can't move.
00:40:25My leg is pinned.
00:40:26Hold on, Beccy.
00:40:27We're going to find you help.
00:40:28Hold on.
00:40:31Dash!
00:40:32Dash!
00:40:33No, wait!
00:40:33What's the use?
00:40:34What?
00:40:35That dumb munchess took off after a squirrel.
00:40:39No.
00:40:40Becky, I told you.
00:40:41Just, we're going to find you something to get you out of.
00:40:44Yeah.
00:40:45Come on in, Beccy.
00:40:49He's chasing that squirrel good, ain't he?
00:40:51No, I don't think he is.
00:40:53I think he found something.
00:40:54What?
00:40:55Well, can you just see what he has to say?
00:40:58Beccy, I told you.
00:40:59Now, we're the ones you should be listening to.
00:41:01And how...
00:41:05I think it's kind of just...
00:41:06Um, Gwen?
00:41:25Wrap this around you, Becky.
00:41:26We'll pull you up.
00:41:42Oh, hi.
00:41:44Dash, hi.
00:41:46Becky, are you all right?
00:41:48Yeah, I'm fine.
00:41:50I think it's twisted, but I'll be all right.
00:41:53Maybe done trap-busting for the day.
00:41:56Who found this rope?
00:42:02Oh!
00:42:20Ooh!
00:42:22Ooh!
00:42:31Ah!
00:42:32Let's go.
00:43:17And I promise, as long as you kept up your studies, I'd guarantee your education.
00:43:21And 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.
00:44:11I have no doubt.
00:44:12Now, another matter is your 18th birthday and your trust.
00:44:18Come on in, Huckleberry fan.
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.
00:45:13The trust would be gone.
00:45:14Now, Tom, with your expenses taken care of at West Point,
00:45:19I'd highly recommend keeping your trust in place,
00:45:21and perhaps 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,
00:45:43have seen an awful lot of adventure and an awful lot of life.
00:45:47Body has to admit I'm both admirers and jealous.
00:45:50I bet your Thomas Boyes 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 never see no Tom story without a plan, sir.
00:46:04Of course.
00:46:05It'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.
00:46:39I'm mighty grateful, and 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.
00:46:51Well, Huckleberry fan, that'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 to adequate occupation?
00:47:06I can hardly spend what you give me as it is, Judge, and I've got enough saved up to make
00:47:11my own way for a while.
00:47:12A long while, so I 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 is going to eat themselves.
00:47:24The air out there is going to breathe itself.
00:47:28Well, comparing 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 have mounted to even half of what I am.
00:48:19Fishing and eating plied and minding my own keep, well...
00:48:24It'd be a miracle.
00:48:26Maybe this life ain't good enough for a Sawyer, but...
00:48:29It'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, Huck.
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, Huck.
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?
00:49:45Huck, what about a few summers back, when you went off a gym 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, Huck.
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 ya?
00:50:20Well, it's just a count of that article on me in the dispatch.
00:50:23All right.
00:50:24You're 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't?
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, flags can be retrieved with magic magnet wands.
00:51:37Tom will distribute one to each of the captains of the teams.
00:51:47You want 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 from Tom.
00:51:54See, there's this naturally occurring thing called magnetism, and it's something you can't
00:51:58see, but you know it's there.
00:52:00And it comes about because some materials have unique properties that create what a fellow
00:52:05calls 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, which folks can make by giving
00:52:14them different, what they call poles, north and south.
00:52:19These poles repel poles that are alike and attract ones that ain't.
00:52:22They can also act on a distance with other materials like metal, iron, 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, why'd it rip a metal flag right off
00:52:39the tree?
00:52:41Oh, wow.
00:52:43I think that earned you one duty 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.
00:52:55Okay.
00:52:57Okay.
00:52:58Okay.
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.
00:53:15Huck.
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!
00:53:27Spot it.
00:53:27Better tag him before they make it back to their fort.
00:53:29Tom, you want me to...
00:53:43Tom?
00:53:46Tom!
00:53:48Ben?
00:53:50Wimp?
00:53:54Must be the competition.
00:54:05That's you!
00:54:07Loads of water!
00:54:10I say, do my poor old tired royal eyes deceive me, my dear Duke?
00:54:17Or is this our old mate?
00:54:19Huckleberry Finn?
00:54:22Oh, no!
00:54:23Oh, no!
00:54:30Thy place and counsel, thy hast rudely lost, and the hope and spectation of thy time is ruined.
00:54:36And...
00:54:37And ere man do prophetically think thy fault.
00:54:41The 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 royal blood and years
00:55:00of gutter trash?
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 tartan feather...
00:55:08Hey!
00:55:10You watch your filthy mouth.
00:55:13I'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, runaways is swole business.
00:55:26We're off to something big.
00:55:29You didn't take me to get to Jim, then.
00:55:32Why'd you take me?
00:55:35Please.
00:55:43We have it.
00:55:48Hold it.
00:55:51In the chair.
00:55:59Time, nice and tight, Duke.
00:56:14Prisoner!
00:56:21Quick thinking, Becky.
00:56:24Alright.
00:56:25Sid has captured Gwen.
00:56:27Wimp has captured Irma.
00:56:28And Becky has captured Tom.
00:56:31Now, time out while the prisoners are escorted to the four prisons.
00:56:36And wait for my call to return in place.
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 one.
00:57:03I thought the sheriff sent you down the river.
00:57:16He did cause of you.
00:57:21Fortune found me doing a farm.
00:57:24Chained up to these
00:57:26rum-barreled skags.
00:57:29By the by.
00:57:30He is talking.
00:57:32Seems we have a common history in you.
00:57:38Made an escape.
00:57:40Came to the hall where 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?
00:57:55Getting rich.
00:57:58I know this is your best friend, Rodolph.
00:58:03He's tickled to your last treasure, though.
00:58:06As much hassle as he caused me,
00:58:08taking 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, he ain't falling for nothing.
00:58:28I know who's smart.
00:58:30He's tough best to me.
00:58:35You ain't nothing like God or trash, boy.
00:58:38Just like your pal.
00:58:40Could have trashed the tin on
00:58:41getting no hot in the air.
00:58:43You could go on his own.
00:58:46Except for your one
00:58:48and only friend.
00:58:51Do whatever we want.
00:58:54Save you.
00:58:58So,
00:58:59boys.
00:59:01Roundup saw you.
00:59:02Let's get him a cook right now.
00:59:06I got a treasure too.
00:59:11Me and Tom,
00:59:13we found an occasion
00:59:14we saved years ago.
00:59:16Judge has been keeping it for us.
00:59:18Trust.
00:59:21I'm due to get mine now.
00:59:23Lump some next week.
00:59:28This...
00:59:29We'll just leave Tom alone.
00:59:33Jim, too.
00:59:35Oh.
00:59:39It's yours.
00:59:45We'll be born after you take a treasure
00:59:47off your up, then.
00:59:50Right after you can take Tom.
00:59:55Yeah.
01:00:01Yeah.
01:00:02Yeah, we won!
01:00:04See the concrete here.
01:00:06And the winner
01:00:07is Sid Sire in the blues!
01:00:15Sorry, Tom.
01:00:16But it weren't on us.
01:00:18Yeah,
01:00:19Luke just wanted off.
01:00:20I mean,
01:00:20he 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
01:00:31to go skip stones
01:00:32or go off fishing
01:00:34or raft out downriver.
01:00:38I don't know.
01:00:40Huck?
01:00:40Leaving his high and dry?
01:00:43I wager he's upset
01:00:45about your leaving, Tom.
01:00:52I know a bunch of us are.
01:00:56But he'll be fine.
01:00:58He'll cheer up
01:00:59and he'll find you by morning,
01:01:00I'm sure.
01:01:01It's his nature.
01:01:03But it's best
01:01:04to just leave him be.
01:01:06For now.
01:01:23The stars are out.
01:01:25I say we've waited plenty.
01:01:27Aye.
01:01:27Aye.
01:01:29Now grab Sawyer
01:01:30and bring him here.
01:01:31Show him we got Huck
01:01:32and we mean business.
01:01:34Give him two days
01:01:35to make the arrangements.
01:01:36Then we start
01:01:37setting up body parts.
01:01:40All right.
01:01:40We'll take the pistol
01:01:41lead out.
01:01:42Is that really
01:01:44a two-man operation,
01:01:45I wonder?
01:01:47What are you saying, Huck?
01:01:49None of my business
01:01:50tell y'all professionals.
01:01:51Second.
01:01:52Uh, now,
01:01:53now go home.
01:01:55Well, Majesty,
01:01:57seems to me
01:01:57if you're just
01:01:58frightened old Tom,
01:01:59he'd come easy
01:02:00to see about me
01:02:01if I was in trouble.
01:02:02You ain't need
01:02:03both royals out on the job,
01:02:05so why would
01:02:06Holden want to
01:02:07send both you out?
01:02:10Unless,
01:02:11Oh.
01:02:13Enough!
01:02:14If you're just
01:02:14trying to turn us
01:02:15on each other.
01:02:15Hold on now,
01:02:16Huck,
01:02:17you go on to finish.
01:02:18Well,
01:02:18you had to capture me.
01:02:20I could have been dangerous
01:02:21or could have run
01:02:22or fought back.
01:02:24So you sent two of them,
01:02:25which
01:02:26I reckon is
01:02:28sensible,
01:02:29but now that you got me,
01:02:31why would you want
01:02:31to send two people
01:02:32just to scare someone?
01:02:34It makes a body wonder,
01:02:36I reckon.
01:02:37It makes a body wonder
01:02:38about intentions.
01:02:40Why,
01:02:41while y'all are off
01:02:42scaring Tom,
01:02:42what's stopping Holden
01:02:44from taking me
01:02:44somewhere else?
01:02:45Scaring Tom on his own
01:02:46and taking both
01:02:48our treasures
01:02:49for itself.
01:02:49Shut it!
01:02:50Just try to turn us
01:02:51on each other.
01:02:54Naughty boy,
01:02:55Huck Finn.
01:02:56Keep it up
01:02:57and you'll be early
01:02:57to your own funeral.
01:02:59I've done it too,
01:03:00and I'll be late.
01:03:05Since y'all ain't
01:03:06seen St. Pete yet,
01:03:08let's go over
01:03:08the back way
01:03:09to Sawyers again.
01:03:10Of course,
01:03:11this gives the Royals
01:03:12a mighty opportunity
01:03:13as well.
01:03:15Now,
01:03:16Huck,
01:03:16what did we say?
01:03:19What now?
01:03:21Never mind,
01:03:22y'all are just gonna
01:03:22think I'm turning
01:03:23y'all against one another.
01:03:30You two go,
01:03:31like a dead boy
01:03:31without me.
01:03:33I like keeping
01:03:34for yourselves.
01:03:36Cut me out.
01:03:38But Holden,
01:03:38you still have Huck.
01:03:39You'd have
01:03:40half the treasure.
01:03:42Except there's two of you.
01:03:44Only one of me.
01:03:46You might get
01:03:47the drop on me.
01:03:49And don't forget,
01:03:50they sell those funny
01:03:50papers that say
01:03:51they own Jim.
01:03:53You do?
01:03:55Now,
01:03:55Jim is our play,
01:03:57Holden.
01:03:58Yeah,
01:03:58we've been after him
01:03:59for years.
01:04:01I thought we were some
01:04:02partners.
01:04:03Yes,
01:04:03we are,
01:04:04but we're-
01:04:04Get him!
01:04:05Papers!
01:04:14You got those papers!
01:04:16We ain't going nowhere
01:04:17tonight.
01:04:19The one of you
01:04:20trusted the other one
01:04:21to go along?
01:04:27I reckon we ought to keep
01:04:29coming tomorrow.
01:04:50I reckon we ought to keep
01:05:15the other one.
01:05:27Look, why didn't you come home last night?
01:06:00It took him back in his lap.
01:06:09Interprocared bone in his body.
01:06:11This rig was based on ancient york catapults, but I modernized the release.
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'd be able to do it.
01:06:50I thought you'd be able to do it.
01:06:56I thought you'd be able to do it.
01:07:26Is that another boot?
01:07:29Okay, now see here, Holden, if you can rig such a thing, why don't you just booby trap
01:07:33the boy?
01:07:33Aye, that'll keep you from trying to flee while all three of us are gone.
01:07:36Yeah, that's a thought now.
01:07:41We could all get stronger and then knock.
01:07:55That boy wouldn't have a mind to say no to a...
01:08:00Pistol!
01:08:03Now we're gonna talk about a new plan.
01:08:07That barrel ain't got one round, did we rush him?
01:08:11Can't give it one of us!
01:08:19You ain't got the guts!
01:08:20Nah, it ain't in it!
01:08:22Nah, it ain't in it!
01:08:37Hey, don't worry, it's over for ya!
01:08:45Tom!
01:08:51Look, 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, please.
01:09:08I reckon you should've brought an army.
01:09:11Gosh.
01:09:12Wish I'd have thought of that.
01:09:28Oh, Shanks!
01:09:29What's up?
01:09:29I reckon I did.
01:09:31Come on out!
01:09:33Hands up!
01:09:34Got marksmen on all the sides!
01:09:36You got your dead to rights!
01:09:38Let's make a move towards the boy or the barn and we'll shoot!
01:09:43That's them, Jim.
01:09:44Sir, I got this fancy.
01:09:46The situation is working out, hopefully.
01:09:49Yeah, that's them.
01:09:51That's them.
01:09:51One, two, three!
01:09:53Come running for ya, Huck.
01:09:54Come running for ya.
01:10:07See the conquering hero comes!
01:10:12Sound the trumpets bang the drums!
01:10:15See the confident hero comes
01:10:19Sound the trumpet, bang the drums
01:10:23Bully for Tom Sawyer!
01:10:25Vanquish your event, conquer 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
01:10:57The sheriff's just made the arrangements, boys
01:11:00Those vandals, they only have to be heading back down the river this weekend
01:11:04Leave a snatch to their phony papers
01:11:07My word, we'll do our best to add 20 years to their sentences
01:11:13What a sting dog, Tom
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 disarmed 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 poor Huck Finn
01:11:36Really?
01:11:37The hell it was, Tom
01:11:39Blown out, Judge
01:11:40Bully it was, Judge
01:11:41Tom came in fist a-blazing
01:11:44Took out all three of them himself
01:11:45I was just trapped and helpless, but
01:11:48Tom was
01:11:50White knight hero coming home
01:11:56I heard the way it was, Huck
01:11:57Sure it was, Tom
01:12:00You can't hide them all to glory forever
01:12:03Well, in the history books
01:12:05Side by side, it will always be Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
01:12:11Sure it will be, Tom
01:12:18Now, Tom
01:12:19I tried to find you this morning, I want you to meet this here fellow
01:12:23Pleasure
01:12:24This newspaper man out of San Francisco
01:12:26Saw you right up in the St. Louis dispatch
01:12:29Name's, uh
01:12:30Clemens
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 bestseller
01:12:48Wow
01:13:02Look like maybe you're outgrown, sleeping barrels, Huck Finn
01:13:08You know me, sir?
01:13:10Aye, Clemens
01:13:12I'm a newspaper man
01:13:14Came in town to talk to Tom Sawyer
01:13:19Huh
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
01:13:40Then
01:13:42Then I talked to Jim Watson
01:13:46Talk 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, I just want to 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, well, they can't write their own stories
01:14:08They have the patience, not the inclination
01:14:11And big talkers, they're the ones people want to read about
01:14:14And big talkers, they sell a lot of books
01:14:17Sometimes they tell the truth, most 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 give food
01:14:33The small talkers
01:14:36Well
01:14:38The world don't want them, but the world needs them
01:14:42They give the world perspective
01:14:46Honesty
01:14:48Both sides of the ride
01:14:49And both sides of the home
01:14:54The nuance that
01:14:56Shades the gray to make up this world
01:14:59They keep the tyrants out of power
01:15:02And out of favor in the public opinion
01:15:04Whose nature of bold appears
01:15:06Are the wise and kind
01:15:13Now maybe Tom Sawyer's story needs to be told
01:15:16Well, maybe I don't want to tell it
01:15:22The invention is a huckleberry, a human
01:15:27Nah, it's a story only you can tell
01:15:32I ain't never told no stories
01:15:35No?
01:15:36Hmm
01:15:41That's interesting
01:15:47How'd you know?
01:15:50I didn't write by my real name
01:15:53Even mailed it without an address for a return
01:15:56The more I learn about you, more clearly it'll become
01:16:01You're a good friend
01:16:02Huh?
01:16:06And, uh, you got a problem with some words, too
01:16:11Maybe too good
01:16:12That got me in a lot of trouble
01:16:16Now I still brought me here
01:16:19Now the whole world's gonna know about Tom Sawyer
01:16:22Your best friend
01:16:26You ever think about getting serious about your own stories
01:16:29If you let me know
01:16:34Mark Twain?
01:16:37I don't write by my real name, either
01:17:02Oh, you coming down for breakfast this morning?
01:17:04Uh, after a while, Ms. 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 worked
01:17:23That's Tom's nature, too
01:17:26You know, Huck
01:17:27I 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 but good
01:17:44To see you with such ambition
01:17:49Fully for you, Huck
01:18:18Well, I reckon now you know about me
01:18:20And Tom
01:18:21And Jim
01:18:22Becky
01:18:23And Sid
01:18:24And Joe
01:18:25And Mr. Mark Twain
01:18:26And all the rest
01:18:28And maybe now you're satisfied
01:18:29After all these adventures
01:18:31I know Tom Sawyer ain't
01:18:33But I reckon Tom Sawyer never will be
01:18:35So I guess I ain't either
01:18:37Cause no matter where Tom Sawyer goes
01:18:39No matter where I go
01:18:41It's just like Tom said
01:18:43In the history books
01:18:45In life
01:18:46Side by side
01:18:47It'll always be
01:18:48Tom Sawyer
01:18:50And Huckleberry Finn
01:19:07That was the end.
01:19:08To be honest
01:19:08He'll never be
01:19:10I'll never be
01:19:12But there's like
01:19:18Now
01:19:20have our largo of her
