00:15The Cat in the Hat presents Dr. Seuss, the Cat in the Hat.
00:57The Cat in the Hat
00:58Did not shine. It was too wet to play. Just sit in the house all that cold, cold, wet day.
01:06Goodbye, kids. I'm leaving now. Have fun. I'll be back at, uh, 3.30 sharp.
01:14Sit by the window. Just sit there and stew and wish there were something.
01:21Hey, something to do. Too gooey and dunky outdoors to play ball.
01:26Nothing to do. Nothing at all.
01:30Fun. Fun. How can you have fun?
01:34Just sit and doing nothing when there's nothing to be done.
01:40Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. Absolutely nothing, nothing. Positively, absolutely, absolutely, positively.
01:50Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing to be done.
01:56Nothing to do but sit, sit, sit. Just sit in the house. Just sit there and grump.
02:02Then, all of a sudden, something went bump.
02:19Look! A cat in a hat!
02:22You will note I am neat. Wiped my feet on the mat.
02:46Why must you- Why do you sit there like that?
02:49I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny. I know it is damp and the sidewalks are
02:53runny.
02:54But what I can't see...
02:56Now you listen here, Cat.
02:58...is why you'd sit there like that.
03:00I know some good games we can play.
03:04Listen, Cat.
03:05I know some great tricks.
03:07Listen, Cat in the Hat.
03:08I know that your mother won't mind if I do,
03:10and I'm simply itching to show them to you...
03:14and to you.
03:19Out of this house.
03:20I'm warning you, get...
03:22Who's that?
03:24I believe that we haven't yet met.
03:26The name is Krinklebein.
03:29Carlos K. Krinklebein.
03:32Ooh.
03:33Now, please go away.
03:34Tell that top-hatted cat he should not be about.
03:37He should not be here when your mother is out.
03:42My dear Mr. Krinklebein,
03:44my tricks are quite safe.
03:46I invite you to join in the fun, if you wish.
03:49There's a game that I call...
03:51Up, up, up with a fish.
03:59Put me down.
04:01Put me down, you fool cat.
04:14Outrageous.
04:15Now, let me repeat, and I don't like to shout,
04:18but he should not be here when your mother is out.
04:21But it's up to you kids.
04:24Whatever you say.
04:26If you think me untrustworthy,
04:28send me away.
04:30Well, he is getting the house sort of messy and dirty.
04:34And mother...
04:35Yeah, mother.
04:36Back home at 3.30.
04:39Hmm.
04:40A vote of no confidence.
04:46I most humbly bow to the voice of the majority.
04:50Goodbye now.
04:52Off to Siberia.
04:57Somebody stole my moss-covered, three-handled family gradanza.
05:01Nobody's going to leave this room until I find it.
05:04Pardon me, sir.
05:05You lost our moss-covered what?
05:08Three-handled family gradanza.
05:11So, that's your attitude, eh, Krinklestein?
05:14Did you steal it?
05:16There's a gradanza snitcher in the house.
05:21Things will never be the same.
05:23How dear to my heart was that beautiful gradanza
05:30That my old feline father bequeathed to me
05:37That old family gradanza
05:41The old three-handled family gradanza
05:47The old moss-covered three-handled family gradanza
05:54That hung on the family tree
06:07I've been burgled, twirtled by a fish
06:12Aw, give it back to him, Mr. Krinklebine
06:16Come on now, don't be mean
06:18But I didn't steal his what's-is
06:20I'm guiltless
06:22I'm clean
06:23Thwartled by a fish
06:25I'll never see
06:28My darling
06:30Moss-covered
06:31Three-handled
06:32Family
06:33Gradanza
06:37Anymore
06:39By the way, Cat
06:41Just what is a family gradanza?
06:45Oh, they come in all styles
06:47From triple G
06:48From triple G to minus ought
06:48Is it bigger than a
06:50Occasionally
06:50But on most occasions not
06:52Is it smaller than a
06:53They no longer make that kind
06:54But one family gradanza is always smaller than another
06:57Should old family gradanzas be forgot
07:01And never brought to my
07:06Now, if I were a fish
07:08Where would I hide a moss-covered three-handled family gradanza?
07:19Whatever it is, it isn't here
07:21And whatever it is, it isn't here
07:23Wherever it is, it is left in some lurch
07:26Wherever it is, we must speed up the search
07:32I'll tell you this
07:34It's not in the unabridged dictionary
07:36But let's find that thing and get rid of that cat
07:41There are more scientific methods of searching than that
07:46And just what kind of science does the cat recommend?
07:51Why, the principle of calculatus eliminatus, my friend
07:54Calculatus what?
07:57Calculatus eliminatus
07:59I went to cat tech
08:01Where I studied the same
08:03What other cats do you know who can make such a claim?
08:06Very well, Dr. Calculatus
08:09Find it and eliminate us yourself
08:11I shall indeed
08:20When you've mislaid a certain something
08:23Keep your cool and don't get hot
08:25Calculatus eliminate us
08:27Is the best friend that you've got
08:29Calculatus eliminate us
08:32Always helps an awful lot
08:34The way to find a missing something
08:36Is to find out where it's not
08:40It isn't here
08:41I'll mark this X
08:42It isn't there
08:43I'll mark that Y
08:45It isn't underneath the apple
08:47Mark the apple
08:48H-K-I
08:49It isn't in this keyhole
08:51No?
08:52And it isn't on my knee
08:53Mark the keyhole
08:55K-300
08:56Mark the knee
08:56B-5-7-B
08:58We just jot down all the places
09:00Where it isn't
09:01And gee whiz
09:02Very shortly we will locate
09:04Where the missing object is
09:08It isn't here
09:10842-J
09:11It isn't there
09:12F-607
09:13You can mark the piano
09:1522,000 decimal point
09:1611
09:17It isn't in the icebox
09:19That's strange
09:20It's not on this TV
09:22Icebox 024 and a half
09:24TV 1 million and 3
09:26When you've mislaid a certain something
09:28Keep your cool
09:29Don't go to pot
09:30Calculatus eliminate us
09:33Is the best friend that you've got
09:35Calculatus eliminate us
09:37Always helps an awful lot
09:39The way to find the missing something
09:41Is to find out
09:44Where
09:45It's
09:46Not
09:51Look at this house
09:56Look at this
09:58Look at that
10:00This uncouth barbaric pompestuous lout
10:04He should not be here when their mother is out
10:15Very well

16:26Out, out, out of this house
16:29Out, out, why, every house should have a cat in it
16:33Curled up by the fireplace, a little warm
16:36Out, and take those things with you, out
16:42Take the things
16:44And who ever heard of a house without things in it
16:46They're not things, they're, they're
16:49And you're not a cat
16:51Who ever heard of a six-foot cat
16:54But I am a cat
16:58Technically, I'm a cat in a hat
16:59You're not a cat in a hat

22:02Thank you for a fascinating afternoon.
22:09What do we do now?
22:12She's passing Mrs. Blumberg's house.
22:21Sweep.
22:23Sweep up the memories.
22:25Those old, untidy memories.
22:29Broken, mixed-up memories.
22:32Of what we had one day.
22:34She's passing Mrs. Thompson's house.
22:36Sweep.
22:37Sweep out the nonsense.
22:40That crazy, happy nonsense.
22:43This world's too old for nonsense.
22:48Sweep.
22:49Just sweep it all away.
22:51Here she is.
22:52Coming up the driveway.
22:53Everything in a state of grace.
22:55Everything back in its proper place.
22:58No more rainbows for us to chase.
23:01No more games to play.
23:04Garage doors open.
23:05She's inside the garage.
23:07Sweep out the laughter.
23:10There's no more time for laughter.
23:13At least, not until after I come back.
23:18Now she's taking her groceries out of the car.
23:20And you know.
23:21Here she comes.
23:22I just...
23:26May.
23:33Hi, kids.
23:35Hope you had fun today.
23:36Well, you kids will never believe this.
23:39But I could almost swear I saw a cat.
23:41A cat in a hat, mind you.
23:44Going down the street with a moss-covered, three-handled family gradanza.
23:49Oh, God.
24:08I could unlawfully and a little bit enjoy a cat.
24:09I could do this when you were a cat in a hat.
24:09I can do this when you were a cat, I'm going down.
24:09I can do this when you were a cat.
24:10Don't you would never be a cat in a hat.
24:10Oh, God.
24:10I can do that.
24:13Oh, God.
