01:30A declaration of our colony's independence.
01:33I shall not be swayed by your laziness, Tom.
01:36Today is a momentous day, and I, Thomas Jefferson, must make ready.
02:27I shall not be swayed by my laziness.
02:43There you are.
02:44Have you seen the document on my desk?
02:46It is of the utmost importance.
02:52You threw it out the window.
02:55The future of the Republic depends on you getting it back.
03:00Hurry, you don't!
03:03It was a momentous day.
03:05It's the end.
03:29Let's go of the game.
03:48Oh, my God.
04:12When in the course of human events, this is a declaration of independence.
04:19Why, this is treason.
04:21Who's gonna do the taxation without representation?
04:46So you're the treasonous dog.
04:48Wait a minute.
04:50I'm a dog.
04:51I mean, you're the rebellious pussycat.
04:54Now, hand it over.
04:56Oh, my God.
05:07Huh?
05:12Yes!
05:13Pretty!
05:14Traitor!
05:25Now, what would be better to clobber that cat with?
05:28Bone?
05:29A cannonball?
05:32Definitely the bone.
05:34Bone?
05:56Yanky kitty came to town.
05:59She's in the symphony.
06:03Offered me a ham on rye, but I prefer bologna.
06:31Offered me a ham on rye, but I prefer bologna.
06:34Offered me a ham on rye, but I prefer bologna.
06:51Brothers, rest assured, my cat will bring the document post-haste.
06:55Ah, look! I knew he would not fail me.
06:59Well done, Thomas.
07:01Gentlemen, I give you the Declaration of Independence.
07:09This is an outrage!
07:11Look, hither comes a true patriot.
07:14Thank you, Wee, sir.
07:16Huzzah!
07:19So on that day, July 4th, 1776,
07:23the Declaration of Independence was signed by Congress.
07:27And if you look very closely,
07:30you'll see it was also signed by a mouse.
