00:04La isla de Manhattan derives its name from its earliest inhabitants,
00:10the Manhattan Indians.
00:12They were a peaceful tribe, setting traps, fishing, hunting.
00:17And there was a custom among them,
00:19every July when the heat and the humidity on the island became unbearable,
00:24they would send their wives and children away for the summer.
00:27Up the river to the cooler highlands,
00:30or if they could afford it, to the seashore.
00:34The husbands, of course, would remain behind on the steaming island
00:38to attend to business, setting traps, fishing, and hunting.
00:50Actually, our story has nothing whatsoever to do with Indians.
00:54It plays 500 years later.
01:05We only brought up the subject to show you that in all that time,
01:09nothing has changed.
01:10Manhattan husbands still send their wives and kids away for the summer,
01:13and they still remain behind in the steaming city to attend to business,
01:17setting traps, fishing, and hunting.
01:21Now we want you to meet a typical Manhattan husband
01:23whose family is leaving for the summer.
01:25This is Mr. Richard Sherman.
01:27This is his wife, Helen, and his son, Ricky.
01:33Ricky, what are you doing?
01:35He's an interplanterry spy,
01:37and I'm blessing him into space dust.
01:39Now cut it out and take that thing off.
01:41You're going to Maine, not to Mars.
01:43Goodbye, Helen.
01:44Goodbye, Richard.
01:45But Mommy, why can't Daddy come up with us?
01:47Oh, poor Daddy has to stay in the hot city and make money.
01:51Don't worry about me, Ricky.
01:52I'll be fine.
01:53You'll be fine, but how will I get my allowance?
01:56I'll mail it to you.
01:57Now remember, darling, you promised to eat properly and not smoke,
02:00like Dr. Murphy tells you.
02:01I know.
02:01And you promised not to drink for a while like Dr. Summers.
02:04I know.
02:04And don't worry, I'll call you tonight at 10 to make sure you're all right.
02:07Goodbye, Helen.
02:08Bye, darling.
02:08Goodbye, Ricky.
02:10Hold on.
02:10Let me kiss you.
02:13Take that thing off.
02:14Mommy, Mommy, shutting off my oxygen.
02:16Come on, we'll miss the train.
