00:23Hello out there, Peabody once again, and over by the Wayback Machine is my boy, Sherman.
00:28Sherman's the mum with the glasses.
00:29Hello.
00:30What do you think of China, Sherman?
00:32It breaks awful easy, Mr. Peabody.
00:35I'm referring to China the country, Sherman.
00:38For you see, today we're going back to 400 B.C., where we'll visit that distinguished philosopher, Confucius.
00:44In a trice, the Wayback transported us from my penthouse apartment to the ancient province of Lu.
00:50I consulted the street directory and discovered that Confucius resided at 301 Chow Main Street.
00:55That's 301 over there, Mr. Peabody. But look, it's a penny arcade.
00:59Nonetheless, it was also the home of Confucius.
01:01Put a yen in a slot and Confucius gonna give you one of his very famous sayings.
01:06Do you have a yen on you, Sherman?
01:08Sorry, Mr. Peabody.
01:09We don't have any yen, Confucius.
01:11Then can I give you a famous saying? Gotta make a buck, you know.
01:15Look, could we come back later when you're through and have a chat?
01:17Why not? Confucius end shift at 5.30.
01:20We'll see you then. Sherman and I went to the nearest restaurant. I drank four pots of tea and Sherman
01:26consumed 892 fortune cookies.
01:29We then returned to the Penny Arcade and to our surprise, the place was overrun with police.
01:34All right, Blake it up. Show's all over. Go home.
01:38Pardon me, officer, but has a crime been committed?
01:40You bet your boots.
01:42Golly, where's Mr. Confucius? And where's his stall?
01:45Yeah, that's what we like to know.
01:47You mean Confucius has been kidnapped?
01:49Right! Also stone kidnapped!
01:52Boy, this very crazy motorcycle Andy.
01:55While the police spread a dragnet, Sherman and I thought things over.
01:58Over some tea and fortune cookies, naturally.
02:01Sherman, that is your 1,000th fortune cookie.
02:03Do you want to spoil your dinner?
02:05I can't help it, Mr. Peabody. I like to read the fortunes.
02:08Uh-huh. What does that one say?
02:10It says,
02:11Help! I'm being held prisoner on a junk!
02:13And it's signed Confucius!
02:15Well, this was obviously a great stroke of fortune cookie.
02:18Where are we going, Mr. Peabody?
02:20We're going to find that junk, Sherman.
02:21Well, where do you look for a junk?
02:23Where else but a junkyard?
02:25A moment later, we entered the only junkyard in town,
02:27and there, just casting off from the dock, was a sinister-looking junk.
02:31Quickly, Sherman, hop aboard.
02:35I gonna put you out of the way, Confucius.
02:38Then I make million yen.
02:41How so, kidnapper?
02:42Oh, very simple.
02:45Confucius say jokes very big in China.
02:47When you go on, I start new game.
02:50You have new game?
02:51Right.
02:52What you call new game?
02:54I call, knock, knock, who there?
02:57Knock, knock, who there?
03:00Peabody.
03:00Oh, happy day!
03:03It's Honorable Rescue Party!
03:06Unfortunately, the Honorable Rescue Party happened to be standing on a secret trap door.
03:12Lord, as I was say before interruption...
03:16Oh, yes.
03:16You are talking about a new game.
03:18He tricked us, Mr. Peabody!
03:20We're trapped down here with no way out!
03:22There is always a way out, Sherman.
03:24One merely has to look for it.
03:26And look for it, we did.
03:27No steps, no ladders, no portholes, no nothing!
03:31Hmm.
03:32What have we here?
03:33That's just a box of fishbowls.
03:35Then that's our way out.
03:36Step back, Sherman.
03:37I'm going to let the river in.
03:41But we'll drown, Mr. Peabody!
03:43No, we won't.
03:43Invert the fishbowl, Sherman.
03:45Put it over your head.
03:46Even if the water should rise above our heads,
03:47the fishbowl will contain sufficient air to allow us to float up through the trap door.
03:52That's the boy.
03:53Yes, sirree!
03:55Knock-knock game.
03:56Brilliant idea.
03:57I agree.
03:58But please, turn for us it off.
04:00Confucius getting very wet.
04:02Oh, hey!
04:03What's going on around here?
04:04How come river up to ankles?
04:06Perhaps the tide come in.
04:08Never come in like this before.
04:10Boat sinking.
04:11Head for shore.
04:12Oh, no, no, no.
04:13Police on shore.
04:14Let boat sink.
04:15Can you swim?
04:17Swim?
04:17What does swim mean?
04:20You better head for shore.
04:24Minutes later, the police had everything under control.
04:27You all right, Confucius?
04:29I'm fine, thank you.
04:30Good.
04:31Then we go to jail and you prefer charges against Genghis Khan.
04:35Well, there they go, Mr. Peabody.
04:37But did I hear right?
04:38Did he say that the kidnapper was Genghis Khan?
04:41Yes, Sherman, but I'm sure that by the time he's released, his name will be changed.
04:45To what, Mr. Peabody?
04:47To Genghis X Khan.
04:49Let's go have some egg foo young, Sherman.
04:52Let's go.
04:53Yes.
04:57Come.
04:57Hello, hello.
04:58Well, it's up.
04:59Let's go.
05:00Let's go.
05:00Oh, we're going.
05:01We're going.
05:01Let's go.
