00:23Hi out there, Sherman here.
00:25I'm doing a solo today, and the reason is because poor Mr. Peabody has laid up.
00:30How do you feel, Mr. Peabody?
00:31Not too well, Sherman. I have a slight case of distemper.
00:34Well, don't you worry, Mr. Peabody. I'll take the folks back into history today.
00:38You're a dog's best friend, Sherman. Where do you plan to go?
00:41I thought we'd go to Coney Island.
00:43Sherman.
00:44Sorry, Mr. Peabody.
00:46Today we shall meet that great physicist and astronomer Galileo.
00:49So I shall set Mr. Peabody's Wayback Machine for Pisa, Italy in the year 1592.
00:56Even without Mr. Peabody along, the Wayback responded in his customary, flawless fashion,
01:01which is what Mr. Peabody would have said if he were here.
01:04In what seemed like no time at all, I was standing at the base of the leading tower of Pisa.
01:09And there, pounding on the door, was the great man himself, Galileo.
01:13Come on, open up the door.
01:16Golly, Mr. Galileo, what seems to be the trouble?
01:18Go away, kid.
01:19But I'm here to help you.
01:20Then get somebody to open the door.
01:23Why do you want to get in there?
01:24You see these two metal balls?
01:26One's big and one is small.
01:29I'm going to go up in the tower and drop these two balls.
01:32What will that prove?
01:33That they both will hit the ground at the same time.
01:36This was a problem that only Mr. Peabody could solve.
01:39Hang on, Mr. Galileo. I'll be right back.
01:43The solution is obvious, Sherman.
01:45The only way into the tower is through the locked door.
01:47And the only way to open a locked door is with a key.
01:50Returning to Pisa, I took Mr. Galileo to the nearest box.
01:54Sure, I make you a key to open a tower.
01:57But it's cost you ten a lira.
01:59Gee, I've only got three Indian head pennies and a skate key.
02:02That's no good.
02:03What do you have, Mr. Galileo?
02:05I got three Indian head skate keys and a penny.
02:09That's not going to get it either, Jack.
02:10Again, it was a problem that only Mr. Peabody could solve.
02:14My, my, you are certainly having your troubles.
02:16It would have been so much easier if we'd gone to Coney Island.
02:19You really have no problem, Sherman.
02:20Find a job for Galileo and earn the money for the key.
02:24But the only things Galileo could do
02:26were dropping metal balls from leaning towers and astronomy.
02:29So we chose astronomy.
02:31Step right up, folks, and let the great Galileo
02:34tell your fortune by the stars.
02:35I'm old, so read the palms and guess your weight.
02:38All for ten lira.
02:40Fortune-telling business was so slow
02:42that the only customer we got
02:43was a tall, dark man in uniform.
02:46I may see by the crystal ball
02:48that you are a tall, dark man in uniform.
02:51See, what else you can tell me, huh?
02:53You in law business.
02:54Go on.
02:55I'm also going to tell you
02:57what you're going to do in the next 30 seconds.
02:59Hey, what's that?
03:00You going to arrest the kid and me
03:03for telling the fortunes without the license?
03:06Eh, that's right.
03:08We were thrown on the first gondola leaving for Switzerland,
03:12which meant we were exiled from Italy forever.
03:15Well, kid, looks like I'm no going to get into the tower
03:18to prove my theory.
03:19Wait right here, Mr. Galileo.
03:21I'll be back.
03:22You're like a bad penny, Sherman.
03:24You keep turning up with problems.
03:25And this one's a loo-loo.
03:27Nonsense.
03:27You can get back into Italy by becoming national heroes.
03:30How do we do that?
03:31By taking advantage of your appetites.
03:33And Mr. Peabody instructed me
03:35to take Mr. Galileo
03:36to the spaghetti eating contest in Paris, France.
03:39The team who eats the most spaghetti will win.
03:43Got a meatball into the air
03:45and we were off and eating.
03:47Five hours later...
03:49The winners are the astronomers.
03:54Spaghetti being the national dish of Italy,
03:56we not only won 10 lira first prize,
03:59but were also made honorary citizens of Italy,
04:01just as Mr. Peabody had figured.
04:03One week later, we stood before the Tower of Pisa
04:06with a key that would open the door.
04:08Well, here goes, kid.
04:12It's dark in here.
04:13I'll light a match.
04:14It was then I smelled escaping gas,
04:16but before I could stop him, Galileo had struck.
04:21When the smoke cleared, the tower was still standing,
04:24although it was leaning as it still is today.
04:27Galileo was free to prove his theory,
04:29so my job was done.
04:30Oh, no, it isn't.
04:31Where did the escaping gas come from
04:33and who had locked the door?
04:35The gas came from an oven
04:36and the door was locked by a mad Italian scientist.
04:39What was a mad Italian scientist doing
04:41with an oven in the Tower of Pisa?
04:42He was inventing a new pie.
04:44Oh, no, Sherman.
04:46Not... not piece of pie.
04:48No, chicken cacciatore.
04:51There we go.
