00:23Hello again, Peabody here.
00:25Although Christopher Columbus discovered many things, the one thing he didn't discover was Columbus, Ohio.
00:30What did he discover, Mr. Peabody?
00:32Just the North American continent, Sherman, and today you and I will help him do it.
00:36Set the wayback machine for $14.92.
00:39Yes, sir, Mr. Peabody.
00:40And our target, Spain.
00:42The wayback wasted little time transporting us to the court of Ferdinand and Isabella,
00:46and there before the throne stood Columbus pleading his case.
00:49The world, she's no flat, she's around.
00:52Ridiculous.
00:52That's what you say.
00:54I say she's around.
00:55He's crazy.
00:56Oh, I don't know, Fred.
00:58Maybe he's right.
01:00Sure, I'm right, lady.
01:02The world, she's around like an orange.
01:04Like this orange?
01:06Look at that, Mr. Peabody.
01:08A square orange.
01:10And a square king, Sherman.
01:11I beg your pardon, your majesties, but Columbus is correct, you know.
01:15The world is round, and if you'll give us just three ships, we'll prove it.
01:19Thanks to Isabella, the king agreed, and the next morning we found three ships waiting for us in the harbor.
01:24It's three nice-looking boats you got there.
01:27And at this time, I'd like to say bon voyage.
01:31You sound as though you weren't coming along, Mr. Columbus.
01:34That's right, I'm not.
01:36You're joking.
01:36No, you see, I'm not really going to think the world she's around.
01:41I think she's oblong.
01:43Have a nice trip.
01:45One moment, please.
01:46It's now he's trying to stop me.
01:48Ain't nothing going to get me on those boats.
01:51And nothing would have, except that suddenly a gangplank from one of the vessels was lowered and...
01:55What do we do now, Mr. Peabody?
01:58We'll carry him aboard the flagship.
01:59But...
02:00No buts, my boy.
02:01Columbus must make this voyage.
02:03Someone else also made voyage, a certain Gaspar Vallejo, who was Spain's most prosperous globe-maker.
02:10Of all the dirty tricks, here I got two million square globes and there a guy Columbus is trying to
02:17prove that the world is around.
02:19You got no worries, Senor Vallejo.
02:22We all know there is nothing on the other side of the ocean.
02:26No?
02:27You ever hear of El Conovar?
02:29I spent a week there once.
02:32I guess the only thing to do is go with Columbus and see that he never gets back.
02:39And you say you're a navigator, Senor Vallejo?
02:42Oh, si, Senor.
02:43Very well.
02:44You're hired.
02:45With Vallejo charting our course, the three ships left the harbor and sailed out to sea.
02:49It wasn't long before Columbus came to and joined us on deck.
02:52Well, I think I run down to the delicatessen and pick up some cheese.
02:57You better not, Mr. Columbus.
02:58What's the matter?
03:00Delicatessen is close?
03:01No, it's just that we're out at sea.
03:03I don't believe you.
03:06I believe you.
03:08And so you see, sir, we had no alternative.
03:10Unless you discover the North American continent, it may not be discovered at all.
03:14You sure the world she's around?
03:16Positive.
03:16And that the ocean she just don't fall off?
03:19Take my word for it.
03:20Then how do you explain that?
03:22It was hard to believe, but just ahead, the ocean did appear to drop off into nothing.
03:26I told you the world she's flat.
03:28Wasting no time in explanations, I ran to the wheel and spun it wildly, causing the ship to do a
03:33complete turnabout.
03:35Fortunately, the wind was with us, and we were able to sail back in the direction from which we came.
03:39We're going back to Spain, yes?
03:41We're going back to Spain, no.
03:42But, Mr. Peabody, how do you explain the ocean dropping off like that?
03:46Because we weren't on the ocean, Sherman.
03:48That navigator of ours steered us straight into Africa, right down the Zambezi River.
03:52Those were the Victoria Falls we almost went over.
03:55I'm going to punch that navigator right in the nose.
03:58Unfortunately, Senor Vallejo had another trick up his sleeve.
04:01Stay in the back.
04:02If anyone makes a move, I'm going to crash the ship on the shore.
04:06He's got us, Mr. Peabody.
04:08Oh, no, he hasn't.
04:09I dare you to run us onto the shore.
04:12Oh, you do, does you?
04:14Yes, I do.
04:14But, Mr. Peabody...
04:16I took one step forward, and Vallejo promptly spun the wheel, certain the boat would ram itself on the rocks.
04:21However, in so doing, one of the sails came about, and...
04:25With Vallejo out of the way, the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Fe set a westerly course and, many months later,
04:30sighted the North American continent.
04:32Columbus had discovered America.
04:34What do you know about that?
04:35The world is around.
04:37He sure looks happy.
04:38So happy, that upon dropping anchor, the first thing he did was to dive over the side and go pearl
04:43diving.
04:43Pearl diving, Mr. Peabody?
04:45Why, yes, Sherman.
04:46That's how that famous phrase was born.
04:48Which phrase is that?
04:50Columbus.
04:51The gem of the ocean.
