00:23Hello out there, Peabody, Sherman, and Wayback here.
00:26He's Mr. Peabody.
00:27He, Sherman, and if the Wayback could talk, it would tell you that it's the Wayback.
00:31Today, Sherman and I are going to explore the five senses.
00:33You mean like taste, smell?
00:35No, no, no, Sherman, the five senses as in nickel, specifically the Indian head nickel,
00:39and we shall be on hand to help in the engraving of the first coin of that kind.
00:43The year?
00:441869.
00:45The place.
00:46The Plains of Wyoming.
00:47We entered the Wayback Machine and were promptly transported to our destination,
00:50and there, standing behind his easel, stood the noted artist and engraver, Talbot Heffelfinger.
00:55Hi, Mr. Heffelfinger. How's the Indian head coming?
00:58See for yourself, son.
01:00You can imagine our surprise when we saw an excellent likeness of Mahatma Gandhi.
01:04That's wrong, Mr. Heffelfinger.
01:06He's an Indian, isn't he?
01:07Well, yes, but the wrong variety.
01:10Look, I've been commissioned by the government to paint a picture of an Indian head,
01:12and so far the only one I've seen was a fellow named Tonto, who was on his way to Hollywood.
01:17Mr. Peabody can find an Indian for you to paint, can't you, Mr. Peabody?
01:21As usual, Sherman's faith in me was justified.
01:24We packed up Talbot Heffelfinger's equipment and adjourned to the nearest fort.
01:28I'd like to help you, but there ain't no engines around here.
01:31Oh, yes, there are, and I'll show you how we can meet one.
01:33I built a small fire, borrowed an army blanket, and proceeded to send a column of smoke into the sky.
01:39I tell you, you're wasting your time.
01:41I never waste my time.
01:43Suddenly, the silence of the vast plains was split through the cries of war hoops.
01:49Indians! We're being attacked!
01:51Indeed we were, but by one lone brave.
01:54I don't get it. How'd you force that engine into attacking us?
01:58The smoke signal?
02:00There in the sky, directly over the fort, were the words,
02:03Custer won.
02:04I knew that would make any Indian mad.
02:06All right, Mr. Heffelfinger, go out and ask him to pose.
02:10Unfortunately, however, this was to be a still-life portrait,
02:12and the Indian was anything but still.
02:15I've got it! I've got it!
02:17All he got was the tail end of the horse.
02:19That isn't good enough?
02:21Hardly.
02:21Gee, Mr. Peabody, he'll never be able to paint with a horse running around like that.
02:26How can we get the horse to stop?
02:27That's simple, Sherman. Just say, whoa!
02:30Whoa!
02:32But although the horse desisted, the Indian didn't.
02:34Too bad there isn't something to make a human stop.
02:37Ah, but there is.
02:38In a matter of minutes, I had constructed a stoplight.
02:42Now, Mr. Heffelfinger, paint your subject.
02:45The highly elated artist threw himself into his work,
02:47and one hour later, returned with a finished product.
02:50It's the best thing I've ever done.
02:52It was quite good.
02:53That is, if you care for stoplights.
02:55You didn't paint the Indian!
02:56Indian?
02:57There was no other course but to try it over again,
03:00but by this time, the Indian had tired of the attack.
03:02He's gone!
03:03But not forgotten.
03:05Sure enough, there were moccasin prints leading off into the wilderness.
03:10I think I'll just mail in the picture of Mahatma Gandhi and forget it.
03:13I'm afraid that won't do, Talbot.
03:15With me leading the way, naturally, the hunt was on.
03:18Shortly before sundown, we reached an embankment overlooking an Indian village.
03:24Indians!
03:25Hundreds and hundreds of Indians!
03:27Please, please, Mr. Heffelfinger, restrain yourself,
03:30or you'll get us captured.
03:33You same pale face who try painting my picture,
03:36you beginning to bug me.
03:38Yes, but, Chief, your picture will be on every nickel in the United States.
03:41And in Canada, too.
03:43Tell me what.
03:44You beat him strongest warrior in village,
03:47you get him paint my picture.
03:49I'll do it.
03:50Who is your strongest warrior?
03:52Standing Bear.
03:53He was standing, all right.
03:56And he was a bear.
03:58Well, I can't fight a real bear.
04:00Of course you can't, Talbot.
04:01Do as I say, and you're sure to win.
04:03And with that, the valiant artist entered into the fray.
04:06He was obviously outclassed.
04:08What now, Peabody?
04:10Make it two out of three.
04:13Make it three out of five.
04:15Five out of seven.
04:17Now, make it 75,000 out of 4,298,000.
04:22I can't do it.
04:23I can't go on any longer.
04:25You won't have to, sir.
04:26Look at your adversary.
04:27He won, Mr. Peabody.
04:29He didn't win me, Sherman.
04:30He won the fight.
04:31Curious thing about bears,
04:32after fighting one or two days,
04:33they seemed to lose their stamina.
04:35Talbot Hefflethinger, on the other hand,
04:37was full of vim and vigor
04:38and proceeded to paint the head of the Indian chief.
04:40He's a chief, Mr. Peabody?
04:42Why, yes, the most famous of all the Hanker Indians.
04:44Don't tell me you've never heard of the Hankers.
04:46Oh, I've heard of them, all right,
04:48but I never heard of him.
04:49You've never heard of Hanker Chief?
04:58I never heard of him, as he could do it.
04:59I never heard of him, as he could do it.
05:00I had a hearing only about the Hanker,
05:01but I never heard of Hanker on the back.
05:01I go somewhere else.
05:02You can see that.
05:02Can we come together together?
05:02Zoom.
