00:00:21.139 --> 00:00:27.227
Wacky Blackout

00:00:34.214 --> 00:00:35.681
Howdy, folks.

00:00:35.849 --> 00:00:38.249
You know, I reckon
a lot of you people out there

00:00:38.419 --> 00:00:42.219
are sort of wondering about us
here on the farm during this war.

00:00:42.389 --> 00:00:46.519
Well, I want you to know
that we're prepared for any emergency.

00:00:46.694 --> 00:00:49.527
Yeah, sure. Just like the city folks.

00:00:49.897 --> 00:00:51.762
Now, take this farmer here.

00:00:51.932 --> 00:00:55.368
Why, he's heard and read about
them there incendiary bombs.

00:00:55.536 --> 00:00:56.628
You know what he's done?

00:00:56.804 --> 00:00:59.932
He's even trained his pet dog
to help put out the fires.

00:01:00.107 --> 00:01:02.439
Here's his dog
just about to go into action.

00:01:02.609 --> 00:01:05.544
He's a full-blooded spitz.

00:01:12.953 --> 00:01:15.319
Now, take this here cow for instance.

00:01:15.489 --> 00:01:17.821
Why, you know she's increased
her production

00:01:17.991 --> 00:01:21.859
and she's now giving
5000 quarts of milk a day.

00:01:22.029 --> 00:01:26.022
That seems like a lot of milk,
but 5000 quarts is what she gives.

00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:31.137
Gives, nothing.
They come in and take it from me.

00:01:31.305 --> 00:01:34.094
[crying]

00:01:35.342 --> 00:01:37.742
What a performance.

00:01:38.011 --> 00:01:41.811
Well, look who's here. It's Old Tom.

00:01:41.982 --> 00:01:46.476
You know, Old Tom is about the oldest cat
in these here parts. Yes, sir.

00:01:46.653 --> 00:01:49.417
Why, he's been around
for the last three wars

00:01:49.590 --> 00:01:53.492
and he knows that this one
will turn out all right too.

00:01:54.628 --> 00:01:55.959
[pecking nearby]

00:01:56.163 --> 00:01:58.723
Uh, say, now, would you look at that.

00:01:58.899 --> 00:02:01.299
A teeny little woodpecker.

00:02:01.468 --> 00:02:05.302
Now, I bet you I know
what he's aiming to be when he grows up.

00:02:05.472 --> 00:02:09.431
I reckon he plans to be a riveter
at Lockheed.

00:02:10.911 --> 00:02:12.242
Ooh!

00:02:12.412 --> 00:02:15.404
Look at that cat's tail.

00:02:15.582 --> 00:02:16.913
Ooh!

00:02:17.417 --> 00:02:19.078
If I do,

00:02:19.253 --> 00:02:21.619
I'll get a whipping.

00:02:21.789 --> 00:02:23.086
I'll do it.

00:02:23.257 --> 00:02:25.248
[cat screeches]

00:02:29.329 --> 00:02:30.990
You know, we American people

00:02:31.165 --> 00:02:33.429
always sort of look forward
to Thanksgiving.

00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:36.000
And this year is certainly no exception.

00:02:36.170 --> 00:02:40.698
This here turkey is getting fattened up.
Yes, sir, he's getting lots to eat

00:02:40.874 --> 00:02:42.535
and you know what?

00:02:42.709 --> 00:02:46.042
When he reaches 20 pounds,
he'll be ready for the oven.

00:02:46.213 --> 00:02:48.408
Twenty pounds? Oven?

00:02:48.582 --> 00:02:50.243
[spitting]

00:02:56.323 --> 00:02:58.086
You know, uh, these turtle eggs

00:02:58.258 --> 00:03:00.703
they've been laying around in the sun
for quite a spell

00:03:00.805 --> 00:03:03.857
and uh, well what do you know,
looks like they're getting ready to hatch.

00:03:04.031 --> 00:03:06.022
[pecking then cat screeches]

00:03:07.868 --> 00:03:09.893
I did it again. [laughs]

00:03:10.070 --> 00:03:12.630
Well, as I was saying,
these little turtles are born

00:03:12.806 --> 00:03:15.798
with a natural bombproof shelter
on their backs.

00:03:15.976 --> 00:03:18.674
Ain't that cute?

00:03:29.223 --> 00:03:31.748
Hey, what in the world
has come over that?

00:03:31.925 --> 00:03:34.291
Hey, little fella.

00:03:34.461 --> 00:03:35.792
What do you think you are?

00:03:35.963 --> 00:03:36.987
[beeps]

00:03:37.164 --> 00:03:38.722
I'm a jeep. Jeep, jeep.

00:03:38.899 --> 00:03:40.560
[laughs]

00:03:44.204 --> 00:03:47.871
Well, now that we're back on the farm
[chuckles]

00:03:48.041 --> 00:03:53.001
let's sort of peek in on a young fella
who's a-courting his sweetie.

00:03:53.413 --> 00:03:56.963
Oh, Marie-Alana, um, ahh

00:03:57.618 --> 00:04:00.086
Would you be my, ahh?

00:04:00.721 --> 00:04:04.384
Would you like to? Oh, no, no, no.

00:04:04.558 --> 00:04:06.651
Would you be my, uh?

00:04:06.827 --> 00:04:11.696
Oh, gosh. I wish there was a blackout.

00:04:11.865 --> 00:04:13.389
Oh, uh oh!

00:04:13.567 --> 00:04:15.899
Blackout!

00:04:18.805 --> 00:04:22.468
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. [laughing]

00:04:22.643 --> 00:04:25.305
Oh, boy. Blackout!

00:04:25.812 --> 00:04:28.110
Blackout!

00:04:28.682 --> 00:04:32.049
I just don't know what has come
over the caterpillars.

00:04:32.219 --> 00:04:35.620
Just seem to lay around and look glum.

00:04:40.827 --> 00:04:42.954
Well, would you look at that little fella.

00:04:43.130 --> 00:04:45.792
He sure looks happy, don't he?

00:04:45.966 --> 00:04:47.900
Happy? Of course, I'm happy.

00:04:48.068 --> 00:04:51.230
I just got a retread. [laughs]

00:04:51.872 --> 00:04:57.139
Uh, these little fireflies here,
are gonna stage a practice blackout.

00:04:57.311 --> 00:04:59.245
Looks like they're set to go.

00:04:59.413 --> 00:05:02.678
Okay, lights out.

00:05:04.351 --> 00:05:05.648
Hey there, turtle.

00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:08.344
You better pull into your shelter.
It's a blackout.

00:05:08.522 --> 00:05:10.319
Nope, I'd, uh, rather not.

00:05:10.490 --> 00:05:13.323
Pull your head in. That's better.

00:05:13.493 --> 00:05:16.189
Why in the world didn't you wanna go
into your shell?

00:05:16.363 --> 00:05:21.596
Well, uh, I'm afraid of the dark.

00:05:22.369 --> 00:05:26.533
All right, fireflies. Blackout's over.

00:05:27.641 --> 00:05:30.201
Hey, you. You on the end.

00:05:30.377 --> 00:05:34.438
Yes, you. What happened to your light?

00:05:36.149 --> 00:05:38.982
Hey, who's the bulb snatcher?

00:05:39.152 --> 00:05:43.213
Who's the bulb snatcher?

00:05:45.559 --> 00:05:49.290
Did you ever see a prettier sight
than this here mother bird?

00:05:49.463 --> 00:05:52.626
She is a-teaching her little son
how to fly.

00:05:52.799 --> 00:05:55.131
It's very easy, darling.

00:05:55.302 --> 00:05:59.170
Just flap your wings like this.

00:06:02.743 --> 00:06:05.128
See?

00:06:05.812 --> 00:06:08.576
Come on, now. Do as Mommy did.

00:06:08.749 --> 00:06:12.378
Ah, Ma. I wanna be a dive-bomber.

00:06:18.925 --> 00:06:21.120
I guess about the only living creatures

00:06:21.294 --> 00:06:23.194
that haven't been affected by the war

00:06:23.363 --> 00:06:26.389
are the famous swallows of Capistrano.

00:06:26.566 --> 00:06:28.329
Yes, sir.

00:06:28.502 --> 00:06:34.065
As you all know, these here birds return
to the mission on a certain day each year

00:06:34.241 --> 00:06:38.473
and we're here just in time
to see them come back.

00:06:38.645 --> 00:06:41.434
They'll be along any minute now.

00:06:42.716 --> 00:06:44.520
Telegram for the audience.

00:06:44.538 --> 00:06:45.822
What does it say?

00:06:45.842 --> 00:06:47.536
It says here:

00:06:47.661 --> 00:06:50.417
We are out over the ocean
Can't even get close to land

00:06:50.590 --> 00:06:54.651
We can't fly to Capistrano
Past the Fourth Interceptor Command

00:06:54.828 --> 00:06:56.227
Signed, The Swallows.

00:06:56.396 --> 00:07:00.924
Now, you folks all know
how valuable carrier pigeons is in wartime.

[bird pecking]

00:07:09.409 --> 00:07:14.369
As I was saying, about them there
carrier pigeons,

00:07:14.548 --> 00:07:18.143
well now, this proud couple
is famous around these parts.

00:07:18.318 --> 00:07:22.015
During the last war
they gave more sons to the service

00:07:22.189 --> 00:07:24.384
than was ever thought possible.

00:07:24.558 --> 00:07:27.356
