1
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:09,199
Speaker 1: Henry Aldrich coming mother.

2
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,199
Speaker 2: Yes, it's the Aldrich family. Written by Slipper Goldsman.

3
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,359
Speaker 3: A teenage boy has always scampered across the American scene

4
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:38,399
Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry, Finn Penrod text bad boy. Maybe there's

5
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:41,479
a good reason why. Maybe in a typical American boy

6
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,640
like Henry Ulrich, people can see someone they once were

7
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,399
or once new. The scene opens on the front porch

8
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:49,280
of the Aldrich Hall.

9
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: The time is late afternoon.

10
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,039
Speaker 4: Gee, homie, you're just worrying over nothing. Well, Henry, that

11
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:56,960
isn't the way my father said he would have done it.

12
00:00:57,159 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 5: My father will get it, Homer.

13
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,799
Speaker 4: Why do you think he's taking the time to drive

14
00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:01,799
water out to mister Frederick's farm if he can.

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 5: Well, boy, I certainly hope he can collect it. Homer.

16
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 4: He's gonna tell mister Frederick right straight to his face

17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,159
how much he owses for the work we did this summer.

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,480
And your father thinks he can get it all. Sure

19
00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:13,120
he can, Homer, He'll get our whole eight dollars. Well,

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,159
my father said that if a man owed him that

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,280
much for working as hard as we did, he wouldn't

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,200
go all the way out there.

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,159
Speaker 5: He just saw.

24
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 4: Him boy, Homer, your father doesn't know anything about a

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:22,480
thing like that.

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,159
Speaker 2: All he does is.

27
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 6: Sell Lumbercause my father is one of the best wires

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:26,760
in the state.

29
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:30,079
Speaker 5: He can talk anyone into giving him money. How I

30
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:30,560
don't know, but.

31
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 4: It's anc you have if you're a lawyer, and nobody

32
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,599
puts anything over my father.

33
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 5: When he goes after a thing, he gets it, he does.

34
00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 6: And how you just wait until he comes back and

35
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:44,799
hands us each four dollars.

36
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:54,879
Speaker 5: But father didn't I make it clear, mister Frederick, otis eight.

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 7: Dollars, Henry, for the last time, I collected it in money,

38
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:02,760
mister Aldrich, No, Homer, not in money, As I said before,

39
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:04,040
I collected the equivalent.

40
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: Sad. What do you mean by the equivalent?

41
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 7: I mean, alice that mister Frederick didn't have the cash,

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,840
so he paid it in corn.

43
00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 5: In what.

44
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,319
Speaker 2: Corn?

45
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 5: Missus Aldrich?

46
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 4: Gee, father, not that we don't appreciate your trying, But

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,199
what Homer and I had really plan.

48
00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 5: And was, well, you know, money, Gee, where's mister Aldrich?

49
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: My father said?

50
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,879
Speaker 7: For mind what your father said, Homer. There's nothing wrong

51
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,719
with being paid in corn. It's the ancient principle of

52
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,080
barter in exchange.

53
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:33,759
Speaker 4: It is.

54
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,159
Speaker 7: Of course, it's a simple case of applied economics. You

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,120
boys will learn a great deal from this transaction.

56
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 5: It's taught me one thing already.

57
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear it home. The next time I

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,439
do any work, I'm getting my money in advance. Now, Homer, Sam,

59
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,919
how much corn did he give the.

60
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 5: Boys tomorrow morning?

61
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: Alice?

62
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 7: He's driving his truck in with twelve bushels.

63
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: Twelve bushels of corn.

64
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 5: Heyes, missus Aldrich, twelve bushels.

65
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: Where in heaven name?

66
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 6: You've got to keep it in the basement, mother, until

67
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,199
we can figure out what to do with it.

68
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 5: Well, that's very nice, I'm sure, mister Aldrich. How much

69
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,360
is it worth a bushel?

70
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:10,039
Speaker 2: Oh?

71
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 7: Well, I'm afraid it isn't worth a great deal right now.

72
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,159
But naturally, if you hold it, you will find the

73
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:17,319
price will fluctuate.

74
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 5: Sure, sure it will. What do you mean fluctuate? Henry,

75
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,039
You are dumb.

76
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: It means that tell them, will your father?

77
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 7: The fluctuation reflects the cost of living. The price maybe down,

78
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,639
but only temporarily.

79
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 5: Sooner or later it'll go up.

80
00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:37,759
Speaker 2: Say what is it you're suggesting the boys do trade

81
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:38,520
in car now?

82
00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 8: Alice?

83
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 7: It'll be a very good experience for them. They'll learn

84
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,560
that principles of supply and demand. This will teach them

85
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:47,159
the value of money. She whiz, Father, I know the

86
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,199
value of money. It's the value of corner.

87
00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 5: I'm worrying about it.

88
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 9: Well, don't worry about it, dear.

89
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:56,199
Speaker 10: You and Homer can corner the market with your twelve

90
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,439
bushels and make a killing when it goes up.

91
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:02,159
Speaker 2: A less for heaven's sake, I'm sorry, Sam, Please ire

92
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,280
and get ready for dinner.

93
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:05,479
Speaker 5: Were you including me, Missus Aldridge.

94
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: Why no, Homer, I wasn't. However, if you feel.

95
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,599
Speaker 5: That you want to say why, I couldn't say unless

96
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:11,680
I was specially asked.

97
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: Oh in that case, dear, perhaps the next time, could.

98
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 5: You start that over again, Missus Aldrich. Come on, I'll

99
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:23,959
go to the door with you.

100
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,079
Speaker 4: Well, thanks for your trouble, Missus Aldrich, and thank you

101
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,079
for your trouble, mister Aldrich, No trouble at all, understand, Henry,

102
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,040
I'm not criticizing.

103
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 5: Well, you should have gotten my father to handle this.

104
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:36,879
No listeners, that a slur on my father. Oh gee, whiz, No.

105
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,040
The only thing is I don't know how he makes

106
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,720
a living.

107
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 4: Homer, twelve bushels of corner, twelve bushels of corn. I

108
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,079
configure that much myself. But when I go up to

109
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,240
the dance committee and get two tickets for the class dance,

110
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:50,639
what am I gonna hand them six bushels of corn

111
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,360
that hasn't even fluctuated?

112
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:57,199
Speaker 6: Jem, there aren't any worse off than I am. I

113
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,879
asked eleanor Wentworth, haven't I?

114
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 5: Boy? I don't know how I'm gonna be able to

115
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,079
face Betty Newton. Listen, Homer, why don't you see.

116
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 6: If your mother wouldn't be interested in buying it the can,

117
00:05:07,079 --> 00:05:08,519
the whole twelve bushels.

118
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 5: We could quote a reasonable price.

119
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:12,519
Speaker 4: Sure, you want my mother to get us out of

120
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,279
a hole that your father got us into where.

121
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 5: We aren't in any hole.

122
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 4: You just don't realize how valuable that corn is gonna

123
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:31,199
be when when it fluxuates, When it fluxuaits Henry?

124
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,199
Speaker 5: And which room is the class holding the meeting?

125
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 9: Right there?

126
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,639
Speaker 5: In two way? Did you try the wayside market Homer, Yes.

127
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,439
Speaker 4: Henry, I've been everywhere. Did you go to the neighborhood grocery?

128
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: Yes? And they said the same thing everybody else did.

129
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 5: No they just laughed.

130
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:47,079
Speaker 4: Well didn't you tell them what your father said about

131
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,360
the price, Homer. People who are laughing aren't in the

132
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:50,399
mood to talk business.

133
00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 5: Boy, I don't know why I want to go to

134
00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:53,800
this meeting anyway.

135
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 4: All they're gonna talk about is the class dance.

136
00:05:56,519 --> 00:05:58,079
Speaker 5: Did eleanor Wentworth go in? Sure?

137
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,759
Speaker 4: And I'll bet the first thing they asks is have

138
00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:01,839
we bought our tickets?

139
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 5: Quiet? Henry? Was the meeting started?

140
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,199
Speaker 4: No care?

141
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,879
Speaker 9: You've all heard the match of the last meeting.

142
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: Are there any announcements?

143
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: A mister president?

144
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: The chair recognizes Toby Wilson.

145
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: Although most of.

146
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:15,959
Speaker 11: The tickets for the dance a week from this Saturday

147
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,879
have been sold, there are still a few guys holding back.

148
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 5: Oh boy, let's not have.

149
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: Any sliders, cause let's make it one hundred percent.

150
00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm going out, Henry, No Homi, they'll see you.

151
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 10: Are there any other announcements, mister President, Jimmy.

152
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: Mart Let's mister President. I've been a member of.

153
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,759
Speaker 4: This class for a good many years now, and I

154
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:41,160
dash why the tickets have to cost so much, mister President,

155
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:46,399
That's what I say. Well, I think the price of

156
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:50,800
the ticket should fluctuate like the cost of living, Homer, would.

157
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 10: You mind explaining that, Well, if you.

158
00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 5: Don't know, it's not gonna do any good to tell you.

159
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,639
Speaker 2: And it isn't the money. I mind, it's a principal.

160
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,199
Speaker 10: I believe the price of tickets was fully discussed.

161
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:04,519
Speaker 1: At the last meeting. And you're out of order?

162
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: What do you mean I'm out of order. I wasn't

163
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:07,800
even at the last meeting.

164
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 5: I think we ought to have more principal all the

165
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,839
way around, quiet.

166
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: Water, please, orter? Are there any other announcements?

167
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,519
Speaker 8: Mister President, Betty Newton, I've made emotion that the chairman

168
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,439
of the dance read off the list of those boys

169
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,959
who haven't bought their tickets here.

170
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: The list will be right at the next meeting.

171
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 10: Are there any other announcement, mister President, Yes, Shanning, I

172
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,040
make emotion that we postponed the.

173
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,959
Speaker 2: Dance for how long?

174
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 5: For about four weeks?

175
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: All in favor signify by saying I.

176
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,519
Speaker 5: Hi the President.

177
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 8: I made emotion that no boy in this plass feel

178
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,120
allowed to bring any girl to the dance that isn't

179
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:54,879
here in the plass.

180
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: Mister President, Yes, Torving.

181
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,759
Speaker 4: I object not amount to no less than confiscation of

182
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:00,680
just right.

183
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: Mister presidents and ring Alrich.

184
00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: I've been listening with Bretta interest all that complaints about

185
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:13,000
this dance, and naturally it worries me. I'm not sure,

186
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:16,000
but I think I have a suggestion. We had a

187
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,079
good dance last year, and we had a good dance

188
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,759
the year before, and I guess if we're all here,

189
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:23,680
we'll have another one next year. I certainly hope we will,

190
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,000
because I like to dance, But gee, I don't know.

191
00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:30,600
Sometimes I start wondering of dancing as everything in life.

192
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,440
How about trying something else?

193
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 5: Just one year?

194
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: The evenings are nice, now they're a little chilly maybe.

195
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,279
Speaker 5: But we're gonna have a moon?

196
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: I think, why waste our time indoors just dancing?

197
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 4: Well?

198
00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 5: Why you suggest? Why a sort of corn rows?

199
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,759
Speaker 4: What if I make emotion that this class show a

200
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:56,840
little originality and initiative.

201
00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:03,759
Speaker 2: And have a corn roads? I second emotion ter plays water.

202
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,519
Speaker 8: I never heard of anything so ridiculous. All I can

203
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,679
say is, who wants a corn rows? Are you?

204
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,759
Speaker 2: Mister president over?

205
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:14,039
Speaker 8: You're not through dancing it?

206
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,399
Speaker 4: I mean, the only trouble with having a corn roast

207
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,120
is where are you gonna get the corn? It's hard

208
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:25,240
to find this time of year. But if we have

209
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,600
enough initiative and originality to want a corn roast, that

210
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,320
I'm willing to personally guarantee that I will find the

211
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,039
car somehow.

212
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:37,799
Speaker 2: I second that.

213
00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:41,639
Speaker 5: Emotion too, What motion, Homer? What there wasn't an emotion?

214
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: Well that I may for I sit down. Now, wait

215
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:45,159
a minute, where.

216
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:46,759
Speaker 5: Are your principals at Homer shut?

217
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,399
Speaker 10: There has been a motion that instead of a dance

218
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:53,399
we show little originality and initiative by holding a corn roast.

219
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:54,879
Speaker 5: All those in favor.

220
00:09:54,879 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 10: Signify by saying, I ay, yeah, the boys, it'll be

221
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,200
a corn rolls.

222
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:06,519
Speaker 5: Homer.

223
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: Tell Henry Arthur, somebody wants them outside.

224
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,519
Speaker 5: I'm wanted outside. Somebody wants you out in the main office.

225
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,840
They come on, Homer, I'm wanted the dress.

226
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 8: This mean we will allthill not have fun?

227
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 5: Also, gee, Henry, did you steamroller that? Homer? It just

228
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,399
happens that I did it for the sake of the class.

229
00:10:25,639 --> 00:10:25,960
You did.

230
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 6: Sure, I really think a corn roaster is a better

231
00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:31,080
idea than a dance. And if it happens that we

232
00:10:31,159 --> 00:10:31,360
have the.

233
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 5: Corn they need, we'll let them have it just what

234
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,039
they need, no more and no less.

235
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,039
Speaker 4: Well, how much do you think they'll need hen about

236
00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:41,799
twelve bushels, Henry. I wonder who wants you in the

237
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,399
front office.

238
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 5: Where did you come from, Eleanor?

239
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 8: I just followed you all of a class meeting, and.

240
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 9: I want to tell you that every girl in there

241
00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:49,960
is so mad at you they're never.

242
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 2: Going to speak to you again.

243
00:10:51,159 --> 00:10:51,879
Speaker 5: Throw all mad at me.

244
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 9: My goodness, Henry, you even invited me to go to

245
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,759
the class dance with you.

246
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: Sure, Elinor, But let me explain to me.

247
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 9: I even bought a dress for the dance, a brand

248
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,240
new top for the dress. Do I look nice eating

249
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,679
corn on the cob in taffeta?

250
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: But she was Eleor? Oh we did?

251
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:07,159
Speaker 5: Was substitute of corn rose for the dance.

252
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,759
Speaker 9: And you can just substitute another girl.

253
00:11:09,039 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 5: Goodbye?

254
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,879

Speaker 2: Wait brown, Oh boy, come on, Henry, here comes Betty?

256
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 8: You wait for me home a brown?

257
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 12: Oh?

258
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: Did you want to speak to me? Yes?

259
00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:21,039
Speaker 4: I do.

260
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 9: Do you realize I can't eat sweet corn?

261
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: Why not?

262
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,279
Speaker 8: Because I got this brace on my teeth? And I've

263
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,080
got a word for three more months?

264
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,039
Speaker 5: She was betty Or too self conscious about it, that's right.

265
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,279
It's not the least bit noticeable unless you smile.

266
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,759
Speaker 2: But she whiz Betty Henry dress.

267
00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 5: Oh boy, who's that? It's your sister, Henry, Mary.

268
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,799
Speaker 2: What's she doing here in school?

269
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,919
Speaker 5: She got to complain too, Henry.

270
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 12: I've been waiting for you in the main office here.

271
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,840
You left this morning without your lunchbox.

272
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 5: Oh well, thanks very much.

273
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 12: And Henry, when you come home from school this afternoon,

274
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,960
you're to stop at the store and see if you

275
00:11:57,039 --> 00:11:59,360
can get twelve years of fresh picked corn.

276
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 5: Corn. Yes, we've got corn, she wis.

277
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: Twelve bushels came this morning before I left the house.

278
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 9: But mother says, we can't eat that, Henry, My goodness,

279
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,200
how did we eat it?

280
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 5: Why couldn't we?

281
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 2: It's horse corn? It's what corn?

282
00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:18,039
Speaker 13: Horse?

283
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 2: Horse? Horse?

284
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,639
Speaker 5: Does that mean we can't have the corn roast? Homer?

285
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,200
That means if anything is going to be roasted, it'll

286
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:34,480
be us. The all Rich family will be back in

308
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,399
of Henry Aldridge. Henry and Homer have talked the junior

309
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,039
class into holding a corn roast instead of a dance

310
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:53,200
in order to sell their twelve bushels of corn. While

311
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:56,559
congratulating themselves on their success, they learned that they have

312
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,559
in their possession not sweet corn, but horse corn. The

313
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:02,919
scene opens that afternoon in the Aldridge basement.

314
00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 4: Understand, Henry, I'm not criticizing your father, but don't you

315
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,279
think you should have known this was horse corn?

316
00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:10,399
Speaker 2: Why should he have?

317
00:14:11,039 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 5: After all, my father's a lawyer, not a farmer. The

318
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,320
hem corn is corn.

319
00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: Well, listen, Henry, I've been thinking, couldn't we still sell

320
00:14:19,159 --> 00:14:20,440
it to the class, even.

321
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:21,679
Speaker 2: If it is really just for horses?

322
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 5: Look, Homer, you see this front tooth? Yes, I lost

323
00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:27,320
that tooth once biting into an air of horse corn.

324
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: Looks all right to me.

325
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 5: Sure it grew out again, But the one I had

326
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:30,799
I lost?

327
00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:32,159
Speaker 2: You did, sure?

328
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:34,159
Speaker 5: And do you want us to be responsible for the

329
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,000
whole class.

330
00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:37,039
Speaker 2: Losing their front teeth? Well?

331
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,919
Speaker 5: Couldn't we soak it in butter and soften it up

332
00:14:38,919 --> 00:14:39,440
a little.

333
00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:44,159
Speaker 2: And not serve it until after dark? No, homie.

334
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 4: Well, here we are, Henry, stuck with those twelve bushels

335
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,240
of horse food.

336
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,399
Speaker 2: And the whole junior class is waiting for something to eat.

337
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 10: Mother, Please let me fin eleanor I don't want to

338
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,840
hear another word about the class.

339
00:15:02,919 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 9: Then, Mother, doesn't to be a dance. It's to be

340
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,799
a corn roast.

341
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: And Henry Aldrich expects.

342
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 9: Me to go with him.

343
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:10,399
Speaker 2: But you're not going out and buy clothes just for

344
00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:13,519
a corn roast. We bought you a lovely tap of

345
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,919
a dress to dance in. Oh why aren't you having

346
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,440
the dance?

347
00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:20,559
Speaker 9: Henry thought it would be much more original for us

348
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:23,240
not to have one. Well, you have plenty of clothes

349
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,519
that are good enough to eat corn in, but nothing

350
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:28,279
that Henry hasn't seen me in before. And this is

351
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,879
going to be a very original occasion there.

352
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 10: You can't expect me to buy your a dress for

353
00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:34,240
every single occasion.

354
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: It's silly, Eleanor.

355
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,919
Speaker 9: But mother, I'll economize. I'll get something I can wear

356
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,360
the corn roasts and weenie roast. Oh, mother, if I

357
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:43,960
don't get a new dress, I'll just die.

358
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,279
Speaker 2: I know which. Oh I'd have a hard time explaining

359
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,840
that to your father. Oh I'll die, all right.

360
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 9: Can you meet me at him for him tomorrow?

361
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:55,519
Speaker 2: Oh?

362
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 9: Yes, mother, And thank you. I saw just the thing

363
00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:01,519
down there I have in minds like where you are?

364
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 8: Mother, I'll answer the for you. Hello, Hello, is this Eleanor? Yeah,

365
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,799
this is bitty I just had a great idea. What

366
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,960
about well, you know that corn rolls we're having? Yes, well,

367
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,080
my uncle has a cabin down by the lake, and

368
00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:17,120
I asked him whether the whole class could meet there,

369
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,879
and what do you think, Eleanor? He said he'd be

370
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,759
very glad to let us have it, and he's sending

371
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:23,600
two men out there to get the whole thing cleaned

372
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:26,559
up for us. Really, yes, I think it's a very

373
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,120
original idea, don't you Yes, I was just telling my mother.

374
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: And what else do you think?

375
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,559
Speaker 8: What the dentist is gonna take the brace off my teeth?

376
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,960
He is, and a special figure just for the weekend.

377
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,960
That's wonderful? Am I looking forward to it?

378
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,799
Speaker 9: I should imagine. I think it's terribly exciting.

379
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,039
Speaker 2: I should think you was.

380
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,039
Speaker 8: How you know it's been years since I've eaten sweet corn?

381
00:16:55,559 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: And quiet, please quiet? Why can't we have an orderly

382
00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:07,119
clash meeting for a change.

383
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 4: See Henry, everything's going swell. They haven't even mentioned the

384
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,279
corn roast, Quiet, Homer. I think they've forgotten they voted

385
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:12,480
on it.

386
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 5: Quiet, please quiet.

387
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: The next item on the agenda is a report on

388
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:19,640
the corn roast.

389
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 5: Where is Henry Alrich oh boy, there is, mister president.

390
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 2: Is that all rich back in the corner?

391
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: Yes, mister President, when you make a report, Well, i'd

392
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:30,599
like to.

393
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 5: Say a few words on that subject.

394
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,319
Speaker 4: It has come to my attention that some of the

395
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,640
people around here are a little upset by the carn situation.

396
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,000
We've always been pretty proud of the harmony in the class,

397
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,079
and I think would be a great mistake if we

398
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,599
let an innocent suggestion by me about.

399
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,319
Speaker 2: Having a corn ROAs split us wide open.

400
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 4: After all, we have our annual what you may call

401
00:17:52,759 --> 00:17:55,359
us to have a good time, and for that reason,

402
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:55,839
I think it's.

403
00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:57,799
Speaker 2: Foolish to go ahead willing nelly with a corn roast.

404
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,759
I take an emotion.

405
00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: No emotions been made yet, home Ran.

406
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,319
Speaker 2: Then I second is when it's made.

407
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: Oh you're out of order?

408
00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: He is that so well? Just as a matter of principle,

409
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:09,759
I like.

410
00:18:09,799 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 13: To know.

411
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 10: Opposed to a corn rose town, what are you suggesting

412
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:18,519
it's placed a dance?

413
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 8: Still, we girls have a right to know where we

414
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,440
stand around here. After getting us worked up to the

415
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,920
port where we want corn, you're gonna make us dance.

416
00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: Don't misunderstand me, Betty.

417
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 4: I think we ought to have a dance and corn

418
00:18:32,519 --> 00:18:35,160
only only working together so that everybody will be satisfied

419
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:40,559
and there won't be any hard feelings. Well, why couldn't

420
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:43,400
we show a little originality and initiative and have sort.

421
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,519
Speaker 2: Of a barn dance you know what I mean?

422
00:18:46,279 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 5: Only not a plain ordinary barn dance. This would be

423
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,599
different the decorating.

424
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: Nothing but ears of corn. Mister President. I second that motion.

425
00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 11: Mister President may asks why we can't have corn to.

426
00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:02,079
Speaker 4: Eat instead of just corn decorations, because along this time

427
00:19:02,079 --> 00:19:05,160
of the year, Toby, you take cards corn, for instance,

428
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,319
it's very colorful and nice to look at, while sweet

429
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,839
corn is liable to be tough if you don't want

430
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,599
to lose a tooth when you're out on a social event,

431
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:12,960
do you.

432
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,039
Speaker 5: I can take care of my teas, But I say, why.

433
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:20,279
Speaker 2: Take a chance. After all, we can eat corn any

434
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,920
old time. Why get into a rut?

435
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,759
Speaker 4: I think we ought to be the first class in

436
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:27,279
the history of Central High or any other school that

437
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,480
has the originality and initiative.

438
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 2: To have a plain corn dance.

439
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 9: Mister President, I have the floor p.

440
00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: Water honor, please.

441
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: The chair recognizes on our wet worth.

442
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 8: Mister President, I like to protest. Just because the majority

443
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,799
in this class is composed of boys. That doesn't give

444
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:52,440
the boys any right to change their minds every ten seconds.

445
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,319
We girls haven't guys to know what's going to happen

446
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:55,799
to us.

447
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,599
Speaker 5: I command that ill both.

448
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,799
Speaker 2: Be taken Wait a minute, eleanor I the.

449
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:04,279
Speaker 8: Man that'll all be taken on out having a simple

450
00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:05,960
informal dance.

451
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 13: An evening clothes. No, yes, no, mother, Did you hear

452
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,480
what happened at Henry's school today?

453
00:20:25,839 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 5: No, Mary, my goodness, I don't know.

454
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 9: What started it, but one of the classes practically had

455
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,480
a riot.

456
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,519
Speaker 12: Really, I understand they had to call in six hall

457
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,720
monitors and the gym teacher to quiet them down.

458
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:37,079
Speaker 2: What was the trouble?

459
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 12: I don't know, but they tell me.

460
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:40,559
Speaker 9: The class is in a terrible condition.

461
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 12: Nobody speaking to anybody whoa because even some talk of

462
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,000
when they graduate they're going to have two separate commencements

463
00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:51,920
for when all the girls say they won't be seen

464
00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:54,559
graduating from the same platform as the boys.

465
00:20:56,559 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: Is that you, Henry?

466
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 9: Yes, mother, Oh, missus Aldrich, I'm got a homer, Henry.

467
00:21:02,319 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: How on earth did you get your shirt torn?

468
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:05,079
Speaker 5: My shirt?

469
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: My shirt?

470
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:06,799
Speaker 4: Oh?

471
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 5: She whizz do you know who I think tore Henry? Oh, Betty?

472
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,559
When did she do that? Right after Natalie White slapped

473
00:21:13,599 --> 00:21:14,000
his face?

474
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 2: Henry?

475
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 8: What did she slap your face for?

476
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 5: I took the floor away from her. I took the

477
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,559
floor away from her. We had a class meeting.

478
00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:28,559
Speaker 9: Homer, you better get some of cure chrome for your face.

479
00:21:28,599 --> 00:21:29,680
It's all scratched out.

480
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 5: That was Madeline Miller.

481
00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:34,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, my goodness, she must have long fingernails.

482
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: Not anymore, Henry. You didn't get into a fight with

483
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,960
any of the girls, did you, she whizz?

484
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 5: No, I was a gentleman through the whole thing.

485
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't understand what caused the whole thing.

486
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 5: Well, we had what you might call a close vote,

487
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,599
see mother, But we got it through, didn't we, Henry?

488
00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:54,279
Speaker 9: What did you get through?

489
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:55,079
Speaker 2: Oh?

490
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 5: Just a little motion I made. Listen, mother, where'd you

491
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,440
put the corn?

492
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,079
Speaker 11: The corn?

493
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 2: Twelve bushels's downstairs in the basement there?

494
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,759
Speaker 5: Oh no, it isn't, missus Aldrich, Yes.

495
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:05,759
Speaker 2: It is, Homer.

496
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 5: Mary. We were just down there and there wasn't even

497
00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:09,359
one basket there.

498
00:22:09,559 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: Well, I don't understand it.

499
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:11,559
Speaker 5: Mother.

500
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: Did you go out at all to day? Yes? I did?

501
00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:17,000
Did you lock all the doors all but the back door.

502
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,200
Oh boy, you think our corn's been stolen? Him?

503
00:22:20,319 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 5: Sure it has, Homer, Sure it has.

504
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: Dear, don't be ridiculous. No one is going to steal

505
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,720
twelve bushels of corn. You can't eat corn. You boys

506
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,839
aren't worried about.

507
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:30,279
Speaker 11: The corn, are you?

508
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,079
Speaker 2: We sure are? Father? Hello, sall, Oh dear, do you

509
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,680
know anything about the corn set?

510
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 7: I certainly do.

511
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: Who took it?

512
00:22:36,599 --> 00:22:37,079
Speaker 11: Who took it?

513
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,039
Speaker 2: I did you did? After all?

514
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 7: I wasn't gonna let mister Frederick stick my own son

515
00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:44,960
with a load of useless horse corn, No, sir, so

516
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,599
I just went out there and made him.

517
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:47,039
Speaker 2: Take it back.

518
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,599
Speaker 5: You haven't got the corn anymore.

519
00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:52,039
Speaker 2: I should say not. Did mister Fredericks give you the money?

520
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 7: No potatoes?

521
00:22:57,279 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 2: Potatoes?

522
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 4: Nobody puts anything over all.

523
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: I'm Sam always.

524
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:02,759
Speaker 7: Let me tell you, I'm a pretty sharp trade of

525
00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:05,720
you know, my father, your father to thank me. It

526
00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:07,519
was my own fault for not being more careful in

527
00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:10,559
the first place. Father, I didn't know quite plainly I

528
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,880
would stand for no nonsense.

529
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 5: But father's old rich.

530
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 9: Look, daddie, see that window in the emporium, that dress

531
00:23:25,319 --> 00:23:27,599
in the center, that's exactly like the one I got

532
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,119
for the corn roast, only mine was blue and they

533
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,680
won't let you take it back. No, that's why my

534
00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:36,119
mother's so mad at our class. Well, look, daddie, I

535
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,319
guess you're going on and this is.

536
00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:38,279
Speaker 2: About as far as I go.

537
00:23:38,599 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 8: Well, i'll see you tomorrow.

538
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 2: Goodbye.

539
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 9: Oh hello, mother. I wondered whether you'd be here.

540
00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: Now, Eleanor are you sure you have to buy a

541
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,119
special out just for a barn down?

542
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 9: Oh my goodness, yes, after all, I can't wear a

543
00:23:54,319 --> 00:23:57,480
corn roast dressed to a corn dance, especially when the

544
00:23:57,559 --> 00:23:59,319
whole dance was Henry's idea.

545
00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 5: Henry, what are we gonna do?

546
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 4: Let's just wait and see if something happens. Well, we're

547
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,519
still stuck with the potatoes. Hoomer relaxed, take it easy,

548
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:19,480
my father says.

549
00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 5: That's a trouble.

550
00:24:20,319 --> 00:24:22,079
Speaker 2: We've been taking it easy when we should have been tough.

551
00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:24,079
Speaker 5: I'm gonna make a motion. What motion?

552
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,519
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know yet, mister President Omer Brown, I.

553
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:28,519
Speaker 8: Had the floor first.

554
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 5: Nobody recognized you.

555
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: Shift down, Homer.

556
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 10: As long as there is some doubt about who had

557
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,400
the floor first, I think we should recognize the young lady.

558
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,559
Speaker 8: Yes, mister President. I'm glad to see there's a little

559
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:43,960
chivalry left in the school.

560
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 4: Mister President, this is a matter o Principal.

561
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: Ben ain't Notton has the floor.

562
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 8: I should like to bring to your attention an article

563
00:24:51,519 --> 00:24:53,920
in today's Fool paper which is the most sensible thing

564
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,720
I've ever read in my life. It's called in these Times.

565
00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:01,359
It says in these times, James, it hardly seems fitting

566
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,759
in proper for students who are planning a dance to

567
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:07,920
spend their money on unnecessary decorations such as corn. If

568
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,000
the junior class really wants to hold a dance, it

569
00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:12,480
will be long remembered. Why don't they give a dance

570
00:25:12,519 --> 00:25:15,960
without the decorations and show a little originality and initiative

571
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,400
by contributing that money in the formal food like potato

572
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:25,799
would be a very generous and appreciated step and would

573
00:25:25,799 --> 00:25:29,640
eliminate a lot of worries. Sign a loyal plaster.

574
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 4: Ystal President, farmers could be potatoes because.

575
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 5: Of the staff of life.

576
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 2: That's Brads and Toby.

577
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 4: The person who wrote that article knew what he was

578
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,720
talking about, and we're gonna carry out his wishes.

579
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 8: Mister President, I make a motion that this class give

580
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,519
a dance, just a plain informal dance in evening dress,

581
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,640
but without any other decorations, and then we use the

582
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,440
proceeds to buy potatoes for people that are worried.

583
00:25:57,039 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 4: If mister President here, Alrich, I just want to say that,

584
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:02,599
since I was the one who first suggested the corn

585
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,880
dance after hearing that article, I'm ashamed of myself, and

586
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,559
not only withdraw my suggestion, but I second Betty's motion.

587
00:26:13,599 --> 00:26:16,279
Speaker 5: Heint, Henry, who wrote that article? What do you think?

588
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 2: Well, jeez, why didn't you tell me?

589
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 5: I even put the paper on Betty's desk. Hey, Homer, Homer,

590
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,319
there's a fellow in the hall that wants to see you.

591
00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:25,839
Speaker 2: He wants to see me. Who is it? I don't know.

592
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 5: Somebody just told me. Come on, Homer, let's get out.

593
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:28,720
We're sitting Freddy.

594
00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 2: I'll say we are order.

595
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 10: Order all load in favor of art and putting the

596
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,319
dance roastia potatoes instead of corn.

597
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 9: Please, Henry, do you see anyone out here?

598
00:26:44,839 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 4: No?

599
00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:49,319
Speaker 11: Hello, Homer, father, what are you doing here? I just

600
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,960
went out and had a talk with that farmer who

601
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,960
owed you money? You did, mister Brown, Yes, sir, and

602
00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:56,799
I fixed things Hi told him he couldn't unload first

603
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,400
horse corn and then old potatoes that were even sprouting.

604
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: He could do that the same Alrich, but he.

605
00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 5: Couldn't do it to me. You mean you got our money?

606
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 2: Father?

607
00:27:05,079 --> 00:27:06,799
Speaker 11: No, he didn't have any cash.

608
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,039
Speaker 7: But I made him come across with twenty five baskets

609
00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:11,079
of spinach.

610
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:14,559
Speaker 4: For my Homer.

611
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,599
Speaker 5: Not even the poor will take spinets.

612
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 3: Within the next twenty seconds, the fire will break out

613
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,240
somewhere in the United States. Yes, there are four thy

614
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:36,160
six hundred fires in America each day. By obeying a

615
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,359
few simple rules, we can protect ourselves from this devastating minute.

616
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:40,799
Speaker 5: Don't smoke in bed.

617
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,319
Speaker 3: Our, discard lighted cigarettes carelessly, and be careful with matches.

618
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,119
Remember it doesn't pay to gamble with fire.

619
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:48,559
Speaker 2: You can't win.

620
00:27:48,880 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 14: Hello, And just one more thing, Henry isn't sure a

621
00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:04,559
good owner.

622
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 9: It certainly is the more I think about it. A

623
00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:11,839
spinach dance a dance, and I have a brand new

624
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:12,839
yellow chastlet.

625
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: Well, couldn't you go as a slice of egg?

626
00:28:30,039 --> 00:28:32,920
