Hi-ho! This is Kermit the Frog,
4
00:00:18,935 --> 00:00:21,687
and I'm here to tell you
the story about Emmet Otter's...

(SCREAMING)
6
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:29,070
(SIGHS) That's Emmet Otter's
Jug-Band Christmas.
7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,407
It's a good thing
I didn't damage the sign here.
8
00:00:33,408 --> 00:00:36,702
You'll notice that it points the way
to Frogtown Hollow.
9
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:38,621
That's where Emmet and his ma live.

- (SHOUTING IN DISTANCE)
- Somebody's coming.
11
00:00:43,794 --> 00:00:47,129
- Hey, look, it's a frog!
- No, that's a toad.
12
00:00:47,130 --> 00:00:49,382
Frogs ain't that ugly. Right, Chuck?
13
00:00:49,383 --> 00:00:50,758
Now, wait a second, you guys.
14
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:53,219
Hey, Chuck-o, you see anything you like?
15
00:00:53,845 --> 00:00:56,222
How about the scarf?
16
00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:59,141
- You got it!
- Hey!

(WHOOPING)
19
00:01:09,236 --> 00:01:12,113
That was a bunch
known as the "Riverbottom Gang",
20
00:01:12,114 --> 00:01:15,408
and, unfortunately, you're going
to be seeing more of them, too.
21
00:01:15,409 --> 00:01:17,785
Because, like Ma and Emmet,
22
00:01:17,786 --> 00:01:21,997
they're all part of
Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas.
23
00:02:05,751 --> 00:02:08,544
(SINGING)
¤ong, long ago
24
00:02:08,545 --> 00:02:11,630
There lived a lady
25
00:02:11,631 --> 00:02:14,425
Simple, but elegant
26
00:02:14,426 --> 00:02:17,303
As any on the shore
27
00:02:17,304 --> 00:02:21,849
She was known
for her generous silhouette
28
00:02:22,017 --> 00:02:24,477
And yet
29
00:02:24,895 --> 00:02:28,314
She was known even more for
30
00:02:28,315 --> 00:02:30,900
The bathing suit she wore
31
00:02:31,568 --> 00:02:33,652
Once a pirate tried to steal it
32
00:02:33,653 --> 00:02:38,991
It was rumored he was gonna use it
For a pirate sail
33
00:02:43,079 --> 00:02:45,498
"I'm innocent of such an act," he cried
34
00:02:45,499 --> 00:02:51,462
"The fact is that's a perfect diaper
For a baby whale"
35
00:02:54,508 --> 00:03:00,554
Sweet Grandma's eyes
YHow they could charm you
36
00:03:00,555 --> 00:03:06,060
Five generations of
loving friends she made
37
00:03:06,061 --> 00:03:12,983
All the children enjoyed her
In many ways somedays
38
00:03:13,568 --> 00:03:20,282
When the sun was a scorcher
Grandma Otter was their shade
39
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:24,036
Even so, it was her bathing suit
that made her famous
40
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:27,832
It was almost heaven-sent
41
00:03:32,003 --> 00:03:35,047
Many times
when it was drying on the line
42
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:40,928
A tourist would mistake it
for a circus tent
43
00:03:44,850 --> 00:03:49,311
Ahoy, Emmet. I'm fishing.
What are you doing?
44
00:03:49,312 --> 00:03:52,731
Deliverin' laundry,
and goin' to Waterville.
45
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:54,066
See you, Wendell!
46
00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:58,946
Now, she has gone
47
00:03:59,281 --> 00:04:02,449
Now, she has left us
48
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:05,286
Left with sweet memories
49
00:04:05,287 --> 00:04:07,913
And left with something more
50
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:09,582
We've made curtains
51
00:04:09,583 --> 00:04:10,916
And handkerchiefs
52
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:15,504
And clothing for the poor
53
00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:18,924
From the one bathing suit
54
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:22,344
That your Grandma Otter wore
55
00:04:22,345 --> 00:04:24,763
From the one bathing suit
56
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:30,686
That your Grandma Otter wore
57
00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:34,440
Say, Ma, that sounded pretty nice.
58
00:04:34,441 --> 00:04:37,026
Nice? I should say it did, Emmet.
59
00:04:37,027 --> 00:04:39,904
Why, you can hear the fish applauding.
60
00:04:39,905 --> 00:04:42,907
I think you're right.
Maybe I should pass the hat.
61
00:04:43,158 --> 00:04:44,533
Pa used to say,
62
00:04:44,534 --> 00:04:48,329
"If you pass the hat to fish,
all you get is a wet hat."
63
00:04:48,330 --> 00:04:49,496
(BOTH LAUGH)
64
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:52,917
Still, I suppose
the fish have just about
65
00:04:52,918 --> 00:04:55,419
as much money as any of us this year.
66
00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:57,713
Couldn't have much less.
67
00:05:00,425 --> 00:05:01,884
- Ma?
- Mmm.
68
00:05:01,885 --> 00:05:04,803
What are we gonna do
about Christmas this year?
69
00:05:05,096 --> 00:05:07,973
Oh, better lean into that starboard oar.
70
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:11,644
There's old Gretchen Fox on her dock,
waitin' for her laundry.
71
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:15,272
Ooh. She looks friendly
as a polecat today.
72
00:05:15,273 --> 00:05:19,360
Well, it's about time you got here!
73
00:05:19,361 --> 00:05:22,112
Same time we always get here.
74
00:05:22,113 --> 00:05:25,449
Yes, you're late every week.
75
00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:29,119
And last week,
when I opened the laundry parcel,
76
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,247
there was a scorch mark
on one of the sheets.
77
00:05:32,624 --> 00:05:33,832
Oh...
78
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:37,461
Well, maybe, I can
knock off a little bit on the price.
79
00:05:37,712 --> 00:05:41,006
- I...
- You certainly shall.
80
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:46,553
Remind me of that
when I pay you next week.
81
00:05:46,554 --> 00:05:47,554
Ta.
82
00:05:47,722 --> 00:05:50,265
Well, I got the bill right here.
83
00:05:50,266 --> 00:05:52,226
And since
it's three days till Christmas,
84
00:05:52,227 --> 00:05:55,270
I'd really appreciate it if you'd
85
00:05:55,271 --> 00:05:57,398
fall off the dock.
86
00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:58,649
(LAUGHS) Way to go, Ma.
87
00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:04,029
(LAUGHS) Yeah, well, sometimes,
you gotta talk tough to these people.
88
00:06:04,030 --> 00:06:07,700
- Yep, that's tellin' her, Alice.
- Mornin', Will Possum.
89
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:09,994
- Mornin'.
- I didn't see you sittin' there.
90
00:06:09,995 --> 00:06:11,704
Well, that's okay, Alice.
91
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:14,123
Listen, you got anything
to barter with today?
92
00:06:14,124 --> 00:06:15,874
Oh, glad you asked.
93
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:18,293
Just knitted up
a fine pair of wool socks.
94
00:06:18,294 --> 00:06:20,879
Great! I got a few big, old pumpkins.
95
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,631
Pumpkins, huh?
96
00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:25,259
I can make them into pies
and sell them at a profit.
97
00:06:25,677 --> 00:06:29,471
Well, they're in the garden,
right over here.
98
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:41,025
Can you make much money
on those pumpkin pies, Ma?
99
00:06:41,192 --> 00:06:45,404
Oh... About enough to buy wool
for another pair of socks, I guess.
100
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:46,822
Good thinkin', Ma.
101
00:06:46,823 --> 00:06:49,575
Now, you can knit more socks
to buy more pumpkins
102
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:51,827
- to sell more pies to buy more wool.
- (LAUGHING)
103
00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:55,372
All right! All right!
104
00:06:55,540 --> 00:07:00,294
Lean into those oars,
or we'll never get to Waterville.
105
00:07:02,505 --> 00:07:03,714
(ENGINE REVVING)
106
00:07:06,176 --> 00:07:07,217
Stop!
107
00:07:08,178 --> 00:07:11,472
Hey, what'd you do that for?
Right, boss?
108
00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:14,600
Me and Chuck's going to lunch.
We don't wanna stop.
109
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:16,602
- Right, Chuck?
- My neck!
110
00:07:16,603 --> 00:07:17,978
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
111
00:07:17,979 --> 00:07:19,730
Yeah, there's a music store over there,
112
00:07:19,731 --> 00:07:22,149
and Snake needs
a new string for his guitar.
113
00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:25,444
Get off my shoulder.
114
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:26,779
I'm goin'. I'm goin'.
115

Jeez, a fella should be grateful
he's got shoulders.
116
00:07:28,907 --> 00:07:30,991
Come on, guys. Let's go in the store.
117
00:07:30,992 --> 00:07:35,370
Are you crazy? Me and Chuck don't
wanna go to no dumb music store.
118
00:07:35,371 --> 00:07:38,165
- No, no, I didn't think so.
- I'd like to.
119
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:40,793
- Yeah!
- Why not?
120
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:43,879
I'll stay here. It's too dry in there.
121

You just messed up my fruit stand!

Sorry about that.
127
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:09,113
- Is that all the errands we have to do?
- No.
128
00:08:09,114 --> 00:08:11,949
But it's the end of the money
we have to do 'em with.
129
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:13,992
Might as well head for the river, then.

Wait now, Emmet.

00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:19,164
Didn't Sam Turtle pay you
for fixin' his steps yesterday?
132
00:08:19,165 --> 00:08:21,959
No. I was the one who broke 'em.

Oh, Emmet, you with your odd jobs,
me with my socks and pumpkins.

- No wonder we're so rich.
- We'll make out.

- You gotta have faith, Ma.
- Oh, I got plenty of faith.

I spent all those years married
to a snake-oil salesman, didn't I?

Well, Pa should have gotten rich
on snake oil,
138
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:42,688
but there just aren't enough...

00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:25,624
- Be walkin' the river soon.
- And skatin' on it.
175
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:29,711
Got to expect cold weather
just a few days before Christmas.
176
00:10:29,712 --> 00:10:32,631
Don't talk about Christmas all the time.
177
00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:36,051
There's no point, is there?
We don't have enough for regular days.
178
00:10:36,052 --> 00:10:37,135
Sorry.
179
00:10:38,805 --> 00:10:41,598
I remember the last Christmas
before Pa died.
180
00:10:41,599 --> 00:10:42,808
Oh, Emmet.
181
00:10:42,809 --> 00:10:45,477
I remember
decoratin' the Christmas branch,
182
00:10:45,478 --> 00:10:49,773
and Pa sang, and you played
that old piano we had.
183
00:10:49,774 --> 00:10:51,566
I remember, all right.
184
00:10:51,567 --> 00:10:55,320
Sellin' that old piano was one of
the saddest things I ever had to do.
185
00:10:55,571 --> 00:10:59,366
Seems like we've sold just about
everything last couple of years.
186
00:10:59,367 --> 00:11:02,536
About all I got left is
a sense of humor and a washtub.
187
00:11:02,537 --> 00:11:05,998
Well, at least,
there ain't no hole in the washtub.
188
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:08,917
There ain't no hole in the washtub!
189
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:10,377
That's what you call your basic
190
00:11:10,378 --> 00:11:13,255
"Keeping warm while you're rowing home"
kind of song.
191
00:11:13,256 --> 00:11:16,717
I'm rowin', where's the singin'?
192
00:11:16,718 --> 00:11:18,885
(SINGING) Head full ofgood thoughts
Belly full of grub
193
00:11:18,886 --> 00:11:23,348
Money in your pocket
When there ain't no hole in the washtub
194
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:29,396
Sweet as honeysuckle on the vine, Ma.
195
00:11:29,772 --> 00:11:32,024
Your nails won't break
And your toes won't stub
196
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:37,029
You never get a fever
When there ain't no hole in the washtub
197
00:11:38,156 --> 00:11:42,909
If you look to the good side
Fallin' down's a free ride
198
00:11:42,910 --> 00:11:46,997
Slippin' and a-slidin' in the mud
199
00:11:46,998 --> 00:11:51,084
If your back is hurtin'
I can say for certain
200
00:11:51,085 --> 00:11:57,257
I'll be there to treat you
To a soothing back rub
201
00:11:57,258 --> 00:12:00,052
When there ain't no hole in the washtub
202
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:09,770
Lunch with the upper crust
Dinner at the club, high on the hog
203
00:12:09,771 --> 00:12:14,566
When there ain't no hole in the washtub
204
00:12:15,318 --> 00:12:18,236
Watermelon gardens, berries on the shrub
Cookies in the kitchen
205
00:12:18,237 --> 00:12:22,574
When there ain't no hole in the washtub
206
00:12:24,452 --> 00:12:27,120
Hey, Emmet! Look what I caught!
207
00:12:28,289 --> 00:12:30,248
Good catch, Wendell!
208
00:12:30,249 --> 00:12:33,085
Yeah, they're really biting today.
209
00:12:35,963 --> 00:12:41,968
I'll be there to treat you
To a soothing back rub
210
00:12:41,969 --> 00:12:46,181
When there ain't no hole in the washtub
211
00:12:47,725 --> 00:12:51,144
There go
two of the nicest folk on the river.
212
00:12:51,145 --> 00:12:55,607
If you look to the good side
Fallin' down's a free ride
213
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:59,528
Slippin' and a-slidin' in the mud
214
00:12:59,529 --> 00:13:03,865
Though it twists and contorts you
That barrel supports you
215
00:13:03,866 --> 00:13:09,955
You can feed and clothe yourself
With a rub-a-dub-dub
216
00:13:09,956 --> 00:13:15,752
When there ain't no hole in the washtub
217
00:13:15,753 --> 00:13:26,930
Ain't no hole in the washtub
218
00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:49,661
Ooh.
219
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:52,205
Boy, it's cold this morning.
220
00:13:54,792 --> 00:13:57,419
The river's frozen up solid.
221
00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:05,010
Boy, Ma will be needing
a mess of wood today.
222
00:14:05,011 --> 00:14:06,678
WENDELL: Hey, Emmet! Emmet!
223
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,889
Good morning, Wendell.
224
00:14:08,890 --> 00:14:13,685
Guess what? Old Lady Possum will give
me 50 cents if I mend her fence.
225
00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:16,813
Fifty cents? Good deal.
226
00:14:16,814 --> 00:14:20,192
Yeah, but I don't have any tools.
227
00:14:20,193 --> 00:14:24,237
Well, I've got the tools
in Pa's old tool chest.
228
00:14:24,405 --> 00:14:28,492
Hey, if you could help,
maybe we could split the money.
229
00:14:28,493 --> 00:14:30,869
Sure thing. I'll be right with you.
230
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:33,371
Good! Let's see.
231
00:14:33,372 --> 00:14:37,542
Half of 50 cents, half of 50 cents...
232
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:43,381
- Oh. Mornin', Miss Muskrat.
- Morning, Emmet.
233
00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:45,884
- Is your ma home?
- She sure is.
234
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:48,970
- Let me get the door for you.
- Thank you.
235
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:51,598
Company, Ma!
236
00:14:51,599 --> 00:14:54,100
Hetty! Come in! Come in!
237
00:14:54,101 --> 00:14:55,769
Don't fuss, Alice.
238
00:14:55,770 --> 00:14:59,481
I'm just here to use the spinning wheel
you keep borrowing from me.
239
00:14:59,482 --> 00:15:02,275
Sit down. (GASPS) Mercy!
240
00:15:02,276 --> 00:15:04,569
I don't even have water on for tea.
241
00:15:04,779 --> 00:15:06,780
Goodness gracious.
242
00:15:06,781 --> 00:15:09,074
Ma, me and Wendell got a job.
243
00:15:09,075 --> 00:15:11,076
Real money this time. See you!
244
00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:14,079
Watch out for thin ice
along the riverbank.
245
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,956
Okay. Bye, Ma!
246
00:15:17,208 --> 00:15:20,252
Whoa. Can that boy move fast.
247
00:15:20,253 --> 00:15:23,255
Now, where'd I put that teapot?
248
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:28,760
- Well, Emmet, are you going to enter?
- Enter what?
249
00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:33,390
- The contest.
- I don't know about any contest.
250
00:15:33,391 --> 00:15:39,354
Golly, it's a talent contest
at the town hall on Christmas Eve.
251
00:15:39,355 --> 00:15:40,772
No kiddin'.
252
00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:44,818
And first prize is $50.
253
00:15:44,819 --> 00:15:47,153
Fifty dollars?
254
00:15:48,239 --> 00:15:51,324
That's a lot of money, Hetty.
255
00:15:51,325 --> 00:15:53,493
You sure you got that right?
256
00:15:53,494 --> 00:15:57,038
Fifty dollars cash. That's the prize.
257
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:58,331
A lot of money.
258
00:15:58,332 --> 00:16:01,251
I thought
you might be interested, Alice.
259
00:16:01,252 --> 00:16:04,212
You do have a mighty fine singin' voice.
260
00:16:05,756 --> 00:16:09,884
Anybody'd be interested in $50.
261
00:16:10,678 --> 00:16:13,930
Hey, why don't you enter, Emmet?
You're a good singer.
262
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:17,183
Are you kidding? I couldn't get up there
and sing all by myself.
263
00:16:17,184 --> 00:16:19,185
It'd be embarrassing.
264
00:16:19,186 --> 00:16:22,397
- Hi, Harvey! Hi, Charlie!
- Hey, Emmet, Wendell.
265
00:16:22,398 --> 00:16:25,734
Hey, listen. You two are just
who we've been lookin' for.
266
00:16:25,735 --> 00:16:27,902
- You bet!
- Yeah? What's up, Harvey?
267
00:16:27,903 --> 00:16:30,280
Well, you know about
the Waterville talent contest?
268
00:16:30,448 --> 00:16:32,907
Sure, everybody's heard of that,
right, Emmet?
269
00:16:32,908 --> 00:16:35,285
Well, you see,
Charlie and me were just talkin' about
270
00:16:35,286 --> 00:16:37,495
what we should do
is organize a jug band.
271
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:38,997
Yeah, wouldn't that be swell?
272
00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:40,832
See, I play kazoo and washboard,
273
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:43,168
and Charlie here,
plays a good cigar-box banjo.
274
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:45,837
- I really do! My ma says.
- Mmm-hmm.
275
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:48,882
So, all's we need is a couple
of other guys to fill out the band.
276
00:16:48,883 --> 00:16:51,259
Well, how come us?
277
00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:55,555
- You see, you can blow a jug, Wendell.
- Yeah!
278
00:16:55,723 --> 00:16:58,058
Hey, this is a good idea, Emmet.
279
00:16:58,059 --> 00:17:00,226
Maybe. What would I play?
280
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,688
What else? You get to play washtub bass.
281
00:17:03,981 --> 00:17:05,065
Why me?
282
00:17:05,066 --> 00:17:06,983
Well, because your ma's got the washtub.
283
00:17:06,984 --> 00:17:11,988
Oh, no, forget it. Count me out.
I'm not in your band, and that's final.
284
00:17:11,989 --> 00:17:13,239
- Aw.
- Oh.
285
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,325
Come on. Why not, Emmet?
286
00:17:15,326 --> 00:17:18,036
Because, to make a washtub bass,
287
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:20,914
you have to put a hole in the washtub.
288
00:17:23,334 --> 00:17:25,669
I don't even have a proper costume.
289
00:17:25,670 --> 00:17:29,714
Hetty, I can't possibly
enter that contest.
290
00:17:29,715 --> 00:17:33,301
You're right, Alice.
Forget the whole thing.
291
00:17:34,428 --> 00:17:39,265
Hetty Muskrat, you stop tryin'
to sweet-talk me into this.
292
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:44,479
This is the fence
we're supposed to mend?
293
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,440
Well, yeah.
294
00:17:47,441 --> 00:17:50,527
That's not repairing. That's rebuilding.
295
00:17:50,528 --> 00:17:54,989
Don't just stand around, boys!
You got work to do!
296
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:09,379
ALICE: (THINKING) Just once I'd like
to give a fine, store-bought present
297
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:11,756
to Emmet for Christmas.
298
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:14,300
And with $50!
299
00:18:18,013 --> 00:18:20,807
EMMET: I've nevergiven Ma
a nice Christmas present.
300
00:18:20,808 --> 00:18:23,768
Never gave one to Pa, either,
301
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:26,104
and now, it's too late.
302
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:31,359
YHarvey says $50 split four ways
is $12.50.
303
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,319
A lot of money.
304
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:42,412
ALICE: That guitar we saw in town,
the one with the mother-of-pearl inlays,
305
00:18:42,413 --> 00:18:45,415
Emmet really wants it.
306
00:18:46,083 --> 00:18:48,293
But $40!
307
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,923
EMMET: I can't buy
a piano for $12.50, anyway.
308
00:18:53,924 --> 00:18:58,094
But you could put
a down payment on a used one.
309
00:19:00,681 --> 00:19:04,225
ALICE: But ifl do enter,
I've got to have a costume,
310
00:19:04,226 --> 00:19:07,479
and to buy a costume,
I'd have to hock somethin'.
311
00:19:08,898 --> 00:19:11,065
Nothin' left to hock.
312
00:19:11,066 --> 00:19:14,819
Of course, there's Pa's old tool chest.
313
00:19:15,112 --> 00:19:18,156
But Emmet uses that for odd jobs.
314
00:19:18,532 --> 00:19:23,870
EMMET: We would make a good jug band,
but to put a hole in Ma's washtub...
315
00:19:27,917 --> 00:19:31,628
ALICE: He sure would like that guitar.
316
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:38,927
EMMET: Nothin' would make her happier
than havin' a good, old piano again.
317
00:19:40,387 --> 00:19:42,806
ALICE: I just don't know
318
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:49,270
(SIGHS)
319
00:19:49,271 --> 00:19:52,607
EMMET: I just can't decide.
320
00:19:57,655 --> 00:19:59,697
Ma!
321
00:19:59,698 --> 00:20:02,450
I'm home! I cut the Christmas branch.
322
00:20:03,244 --> 00:20:04,452
I see you did.
323
00:20:04,453 --> 00:20:06,955
Well, after all,
tomorrow's Christmas Eve,
324
00:20:06,956 --> 00:20:10,750
and even if we don't have presents,
at least we can have the branch.
325
00:20:10,751 --> 00:20:13,127
It's a nice one, Emmet.
326
00:20:13,128 --> 00:20:16,214
- Just like Pa used to bring home.
- Yup.
327
00:20:16,423 --> 00:20:19,425
Every year, he'd go out,
vowing he was gonna bring home
328
00:20:19,426 --> 00:20:21,636
a real whole Christmas tree.
329
00:20:22,096 --> 00:20:23,972
But he never had the heart to do it.
330
00:20:24,348 --> 00:20:28,852
And every year, he would say,
"Because I didn't cut it down,
331
00:20:28,853 --> 00:20:34,107
"the rest of that tree
will still be alive in 100 years!"
332
00:20:34,108 --> 00:20:37,277
You know, sometimes,
you even sound like your pa.
333
00:20:37,278 --> 00:20:41,614
Ma, do you suppose it'd be safe
to use Pa's slide now?
334
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:46,411
Oh. I should think so.
The ice must be solid by this time.
335
00:20:47,204 --> 00:20:50,790
- Race you to her!
- Hey, wait for me now!
336
00:20:51,292 --> 00:20:53,793
First slide of the year! Whoopee!
337
00:20:54,003 --> 00:20:55,420
(LAUGHING)
338
00:20:56,547 --> 00:20:59,299
Wow. I forgot how much fun that is.
339
00:20:59,675 --> 00:21:03,136
(LAUGHS) Well, stand back. It's my turn.
340
00:21:03,554 --> 00:21:04,804
Whoo!
341
00:21:07,683 --> 00:21:09,017
Isn't that great?
342
00:21:09,018 --> 00:21:11,686
- It's good enough.
- Good enough for what?
343
00:21:12,313 --> 00:21:14,147
Good enough to do again!
344
00:21:15,149 --> 00:21:17,233
Hey, now! My turn next!
345
00:21:19,653 --> 00:21:21,779
Watch, Emmet! It's my turn again.
346
00:21:26,994 --> 00:21:28,661
Oh, boy!
347
00:21:31,832 --> 00:21:33,207
Watch this one, Ma.
348
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:43,760
Oh, boy, that old slide's just about
the best thing Pa ever built.
349
00:21:43,761 --> 00:21:46,596
Yeah. He may not have left us much,
350
00:21:46,597 --> 00:21:49,140
but that old slide is just about enough.
351
00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:52,477
Gee, I think he left us a lot.
352
00:21:52,478 --> 00:21:55,063
Well, he left what he could.
353
00:21:56,190 --> 00:21:57,857
Pa used to say,
354
00:21:57,858 --> 00:22:02,236
"A person's got to take some chances,
or life'll never come to nothin'."
355
00:22:02,237 --> 00:22:04,989
He took his chances on snake oil.
356
00:22:04,990 --> 00:22:08,534
Fact that it didn't come to much
hardly matters.
357
00:22:09,495 --> 00:22:13,206
(THINKING) Pa would
hock that tool chest.
358
00:22:14,249 --> 00:22:17,085
EMMET: Pa would put
a hole in that washtub.
359
00:22:18,087 --> 00:22:21,047
Ma, remember Pa's favorite song?
360
00:22:23,884 --> 00:22:28,805
(SINGING)
When the mountain touches the valley
361
00:22:28,806 --> 00:22:33,142
All the clouds are taught to fly
362
00:22:33,727 --> 00:22:38,189
Thus our souls shall leave this land
363
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:43,236
Most peacefully
364
00:22:43,237 --> 00:22:48,324
Though our minds
be filled with questions
365
00:22:48,325 --> 00:22:53,371
In our hearts, we'll understand
366
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:56,416
When the river
367
00:22:56,417 --> 00:23:02,880
Meets the sea
368
00:23:02,881 --> 00:23:08,011
Like a flower that has blossomed
369
00:23:08,012 --> 00:23:12,682
In the dry and barren sand
370
00:23:12,683 --> 00:23:17,145
We are born and born again
371
00:23:17,146 --> 00:23:22,233
Most gracefully
372
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:27,363
Thus the winds of time shall take us
373
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:32,160
With a sure and steady hand
374
00:23:32,161 --> 00:23:34,954
When the river
375
00:23:34,955 --> 00:23:42,295
Meets the sea
376
00:23:42,296 --> 00:23:46,799
Patience, my brothers
377
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,512
And patience, my sons
378
00:23:51,513 --> 00:23:56,017
In that sweet and final hour
379
00:23:56,018 --> 00:24:01,105
Truth and justice will be done
380
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:06,152
Like a baby when it is sleeping
381
00:24:06,153 --> 00:24:11,115
In its loving mother's arms
382
00:24:11,116 --> 00:24:15,578
What a newborn baby dreams
383
00:24:15,579 --> 00:24:20,333
Is a mystery
384
00:24:20,751 --> 00:24:25,880
But his life will find a purpose
385
00:24:25,881 --> 00:24:30,968
And in time, he'll understand
386
00:24:30,969 --> 00:24:33,888
When the river
387
00:24:33,889 --> 00:24:39,519
Meets the sea
388
00:24:40,687 --> 00:24:43,689
When the river
389
00:24:43,690 --> 00:24:46,025
Meets
390
00:24:46,026 --> 00:24:51,864
The almighty sea
391
00:25:33,157 --> 00:25:35,741
EMMET: Dear Ma, I'll be gone all day.
392
00:25:35,742 --> 00:25:39,579
I'll explain about the washtub
when I see you late tonight.
393
00:25:39,580 --> 00:25:42,373
Love, Emmet.
394
00:25:46,420 --> 00:25:50,006
ALICE: DearEmmet,
I'll be home late tonight
395
00:25:50,007 --> 00:25:53,676
and I'll explain about
the tool chest when I see you.
396
00:25:53,677 --> 00:25:55,469
Love, Ma.
397
00:26:20,829 --> 00:26:22,205
(CLANGING)
398
00:26:23,790 --> 00:26:25,291
(MUSIC PLAYING)
399
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,222
(SINGING) When you meet somebody
That don't like soul food
400
00:26:39,223 --> 00:26:40,932
They still got a soul
401
00:26:40,933 --> 00:26:45,061
And it don't mean that you got no rhythm
If you don't like rock 'n' roll
402
00:26:45,062 --> 00:26:47,146
Well, if your taste's like mine
You like cider, not wine
403
00:26:47,147 --> 00:26:49,315
And your very favorite thing to do
404
00:26:49,316 --> 00:26:51,400
Is get a purty girl
dancin' to jug-band music
405
00:26:51,401 --> 00:26:53,903
And a mess of Mama's barbecue
406
00:26:53,904 --> 00:26:55,655
- Barbecue
- Lifts my spirit
407
00:26:55,656 --> 00:26:57,740
I swear that it never fails
408
00:26:57,741 --> 00:27:00,076
And the sauce Mama makes
Just stays there forever
409
00:27:00,077 --> 00:27:02,995
If you dare to get it under your nails
410
00:27:02,996 --> 00:27:04,747
Well, you
411
00:27:04,748 --> 00:27:06,999
May be poor with a wolf at your door
412
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,085
But money isn't everything
413
00:27:09,086 --> 00:27:11,254
You still have the sun
and a river full of fun
414
00:27:11,255 --> 00:27:13,089
And you'll always have a song to sing
415
00:27:13,090 --> 00:27:15,299
So, get the frown off your face
We're gonna replace it
416
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:17,343
With a grin and a dream come true
417
00:27:17,344 --> 00:27:19,220
With a purty girl
dancin' to jug-band music
418
00:27:19,221 --> 00:27:21,222
And a mess of Mama's barbecue
419
00:27:30,190 --> 00:27:31,899
- Barbecue
- Lifts my spirit
420
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:33,901
I swear that it never fails
421
00:27:34,152 --> 00:27:36,279
And the sauce Mama makes
Just stays there forever
422
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,823
If you dare to get it under your nails
423
00:27:39,366 --> 00:27:41,325
So get the
424
00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:43,703
Frown off your face
We're gonna replace it
425
00:27:43,704 --> 00:27:45,496
With a grin and a dream come true
426
00:27:45,706 --> 00:27:47,707
With a purty girl
dancin' to jug-band music
427
00:27:47,708 --> 00:27:49,709
And a mess of Mama's barbecue
428
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,919
That's a purty girl
dancin' to jug-band music
429
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,255
And a mess of Mama's
Mess of Mama's
430
00:27:54,256 --> 00:27:56,048
Mess of Mama's barbecue
431
00:27:57,384 --> 00:27:58,884
A mess of Mama's barbecue
432
00:28:00,220 --> 00:28:01,220
Oh, boy!
433
00:28:01,888 --> 00:28:03,723
- That was fun.
- That was fantastic!
434
00:28:03,724 --> 00:28:05,433
I can feel the prize money in my pocket.
435
00:28:05,434 --> 00:28:06,559
Really?
436
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,062
- We sound great!
- Well, we sound fair. Let's do it again.
437
00:28:10,397 --> 00:28:13,607
- Gee, haven't we done it enough?
- Yeah, we done it all afternoon.
438
00:28:13,608 --> 00:28:15,276
Well, let's do it some more.
439
00:28:15,277 --> 00:28:20,031
I put a hole in Ma's washtub
for this contest, and we gotta win.
440
00:28:20,032 --> 00:28:21,073
Now, here we go.
441
00:28:21,491 --> 00:28:24,744
- Gee, Mr. Big-time Conductor.
- Are you ready, Harvey?
442
00:28:25,412 --> 00:28:26,495
Sure. Sure.
443
00:28:40,177 --> 00:28:44,263
Thanks for lettin' me come over
and use your sewing machine, Hetty.
444
00:28:44,598 --> 00:28:46,682
I still can't believe it.
445
00:28:46,683 --> 00:28:51,604
You actually took that tool chest
and hocked it to buy dress fabric.
446
00:28:51,605 --> 00:28:55,900
I had to. I've got to wear somethin'
for the contest, don't I?
447
00:28:55,901 --> 00:28:59,362
Besides, when I win,
I'll have enough money to un-hock it.
448
00:29:00,113 --> 00:29:01,822
What if you don't win?
449
00:29:02,991 --> 00:29:04,617
Got to win!
450
00:29:04,618 --> 00:29:09,622
Emmet is gonna have a guitar with
mother-of-pearl inlay this Christmas.
451
00:29:11,291 --> 00:29:13,250
Whatever you say, Alice.
452
00:29:17,422 --> 00:29:19,632
Well, we better head for Waterville.
453
00:29:19,633 --> 00:29:21,801
I'd like to be there early
for the contest.
454
00:29:21,802 --> 00:29:23,302
Boy, I know we're gonna win.
455
00:29:23,303 --> 00:29:25,304
- I just know it.
- (ENGINES REVVING)
456
00:29:25,305 --> 00:29:27,306
Hey, fellas, do you hear something?
457
00:29:29,142 --> 00:29:32,728
Sounds like a car, or a motorcycle.
458
00:29:41,405 --> 00:29:43,906
Hey, who are those guys?
459
00:29:43,907 --> 00:29:46,033
I think they're from Riverbottom.
460
00:29:47,577 --> 00:29:50,913
Look at the birds up in the trees.
461
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:54,750
Yeah? Well, we're not birds.
We're a jug band.
462
00:29:54,751 --> 00:29:57,503
Yeah. Practicing for the talent contest.
463
00:29:58,338 --> 00:30:01,882
Sure. They're gonna win
the talent contest.
464
00:30:01,883 --> 00:30:03,551
Right, boss?
465
00:30:03,552 --> 00:30:05,052
(LAUGHING)
466
00:30:06,471 --> 00:30:08,639
Shut up.
467
00:30:09,933 --> 00:30:12,351
Come on, everybody. Let's go!
468
00:30:12,352 --> 00:30:13,853
Here we go!
469
00:30:16,565 --> 00:30:19,525
What was that all about?
470
00:30:31,163 --> 00:30:32,830
HARRISON: Contestants, contestants,
471
00:30:32,831 --> 00:30:36,250
I'd like you all to go to your dressing
rooms now, please, if you would.
472
00:30:36,251 --> 00:30:40,296
All ladies over here to the left,
and men to the right, please.

and, boys, yes, over there to the right.

Ladies to the left,
and men to the right. And...
476
00:30:49,556 --> 00:30:51,724
- Sorry, dear.
- See you later, Nat.
477
00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:55,144
Sorry to split you up like that.
478
00:30:56,229 --> 00:30:59,565
Pardon me. Is this the talent contest?
479
00:30:59,566 --> 00:31:01,901
Why, yes, it is.
Your dressing room is right over there.
480
00:31:01,902 --> 00:31:05,196
Thank you.
I'm very nice to have helped you.

00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:10,242
Oh. I mean, I'm very nice you...
Excuse me.

Well, guys, this is the competition.

I tell you it's a snap.
486

Two quick choruses of Barbecue,
and the money is ours.

Quiet! It's starting.
The show is starting!

00:31:37,145 --> 00:31:39,772
Okay, Will,
stand by on the house lights.
490
00:31:39,773 --> 00:31:43,776
Dim the house lights,
and fade up on the spotlights.

Thank you. Thank you.

(PIANO PLAYING CHORDS)

00:31:57,958 --> 00:31:59,500
As some of you may know...
495
00:31:59,501 --> 00:32:02,711
I am Harrison Fox, mayor of Waterville.
496
00:32:02,712 --> 00:32:06,006
And first off, let me introduce
ourjudges for tonight.
497
00:32:06,299 --> 00:32:10,177
Now, right down in the front row,
we have James Badger,
498
00:32:10,178 --> 00:32:12,555
my lovely wife, Gretchen,
499
00:32:12,556 --> 00:32:16,517
and this year's chairman of the judges,
the owner of the Riverside Rest,

Waterville's favorite cafe
and nightspot, Doc Bullfrog.

503
00:32:26,653 --> 00:32:31,824
with Shirley and Nat Muskrat
as Carrots the Dancing Horse.

(MUSIC PLAYING)
505
00:32:49,676 --> 00:32:53,596
Bitter fail, Harrison,
we're off to a shaky start.
506
00:33:01,021 --> 00:33:03,022
Okay, yes, thank you.
507
00:33:03,023 --> 00:33:06,066
Thank you.
That was Lindsay and Deidre Mole
508
00:33:06,067 --> 00:33:08,861
with their duet for snare drum
and piccolo.
509
00:33:09,487 --> 00:33:12,990
Well, if the acts don't get any better
than that, we've got no trouble.
510
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:15,701
And now, Mr. Yancy Woodchuck
511
00:33:15,702 --> 00:33:19,496
to sing for you,
the ever-popular Barbecue.
512

00:33:23,251 --> 00:33:25,919
(SINGING) Doggone,
when you meet somebody
514
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,379
That don't like soul food
515
00:33:27,380 --> 00:33:29,381
They still got a soul
516
00:33:29,382 --> 00:33:33,552
And it don't mean that you got no rhythm
If you don't like rock 'n' roll
517
00:33:34,346 --> 00:33:36,555
We can't do this song
after he's done it.
518
00:33:36,556 --> 00:33:38,557
People will think we're copyin'.
519
00:33:38,558 --> 00:33:41,226
Yeah, we're really gonna lose now.
520
00:33:41,227 --> 00:33:43,646
- No, we aren't. Come on!
- Where are we going?
521
00:33:43,647 --> 00:33:46,357
Out in the alley.
We're not on for a while yet.
522
00:33:46,358 --> 00:33:48,567
We gotta rehearse a new song.
523
00:33:49,235 --> 00:33:52,905
Just stays there forever
If you dare to get it under your nails
524
00:33:52,906 --> 00:33:54,281
Barbecue
525
00:33:54,282 --> 00:33:56,575
(CHUCKLES) Thank you.
526
00:33:59,954 --> 00:34:03,499
Welcome, if you will,
George and Melissa Rabbit.
527
00:34:25,021 --> 00:34:28,607
(SIGHS) Well,
it's gonna be a long night.
528
00:34:31,403 --> 00:34:35,155
You there. Aren't you in this contest?
You get in here this minute.
529
00:34:35,156 --> 00:34:39,284
You might miss your entrance, and
we want this show to look professional.
530
00:34:58,638 --> 00:35:01,682
Wonderful! Marvelous!
531
00:35:02,434 --> 00:35:03,684
Wonderful!
532
00:35:06,146 --> 00:35:08,147
And now, we have for you tonight,
533
00:35:08,148 --> 00:35:11,066
one of our own
traditional songs of the river,
534
00:35:11,067 --> 00:35:14,403
rendered by a dear little lady,
Alice Otter.
535

(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)
536
00:35:34,924 --> 00:35:41,180
(SINGING)
We're closer now than ever before
537
00:35:43,516 --> 00:35:50,314
There's love in our world
And we're showing it more
538
00:35:51,524 --> 00:35:55,360
Our world says
Welcome, stranger
539
00:35:55,653 --> 00:35:59,156
Everybody's a friend
540
00:35:59,574 --> 00:36:02,868
Favorite stories don't end
541
00:36:03,077 --> 00:36:06,747
In our world
542
00:36:07,373 --> 00:36:09,333
- It's Ma.
- Yeah.
543
00:36:09,334 --> 00:36:11,251
And she's better than we are.
544
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:18,675
Some say our world is getting too small
545
00:36:20,470 --> 00:36:26,892
I say with kindness
there's room for us all
546
00:36:28,394 --> 00:36:31,897
Our world is always changing
547
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:35,609
Every day's a surprise
548
00:36:36,152 --> 00:36:39,279
Love can open your eyes
549
00:36:39,531 --> 00:36:43,742
In our world
550
00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:52,334
When night lays sad upon you
551
00:36:52,335 --> 00:36:57,256
Go watch a simple sunrise
552
00:36:58,299 --> 00:37:02,469
Love can open your eyes
553
00:37:03,304 --> 00:37:09,935
In our world

00:37:14,148 --> 00:37:15,732
(APPLAUSE)
555
00:37:29,289 --> 00:37:31,623
Ma, you were fantastic!
556
00:37:31,791 --> 00:37:34,543
Was I all right? They seemed to like me.
557
00:37:34,544 --> 00:37:36,962
Ma, you were the best, hands down!
558
00:37:36,963 --> 00:37:38,922
You've got this contest won.
559
00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:42,134
Wait a minute.
Emmet, what are you doin' here?
560
00:37:42,135 --> 00:37:44,970
Well, me and the guys
have organized a jug band.
561
00:37:44,971 --> 00:37:47,806
- Emmet, the mayor's introducing us.
- So, last, but by no means least...
562
00:37:47,807 --> 00:37:48,807
Uh-oh. Come on.
563
00:37:48,975 --> 00:37:51,810
Four young lads,
whom I'm sure you'll enjoy.
564
00:37:51,978 --> 00:37:56,815
They call themselves
the Frogtown Hollow Jubilee Jug Band.

(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)
566
00:38:09,162 --> 00:38:11,371
(SINGING)
How much alike we are
567
00:38:11,372 --> 00:38:15,292
Perhaps we're long-lost brothers
We even think the same
568
00:38:16,169 --> 00:38:18,503
You know there may be others
569
00:38:20,340 --> 00:38:23,550
We can always use a friend
570
00:38:27,263 --> 00:38:29,222
This familyjust keeps growing
571
00:38:29,515 --> 00:38:31,975
This family doesn't have to end
572
00:38:35,772 --> 00:38:42,110
Brothers
573
00:38:44,405 --> 00:38:46,657
So many things to learn
574
00:38:46,866 --> 00:38:49,076
But we'll enjoy each lesson
575
00:38:49,077 --> 00:38:51,286
Problems don't worry us
576
00:38:51,287 --> 00:38:53,455
When half the fun is guessin'
577
00:38:55,375 --> 00:38:59,378
Live a lifetime of surprise
578
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:04,508
We'll all become magicians
579
00:39:04,509 --> 00:39:07,886
And leave the wonder in their eyes

Boys, you were wonderful!
583
00:39:29,909 --> 00:39:33,036
- Did it sound all right, Ma?
- You were better than best!
584
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:34,621
You're certain to win.
585
00:39:34,622 --> 00:39:38,625
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
that was to have been our last act.
586
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,004
Normally, we wouldn't allow
any last-minute entries,
587
00:39:42,005 --> 00:39:46,299
but these kids have come a long way,
all the way from Riverbottom.
588
00:39:46,676 --> 00:39:48,093
Yes, these Riverbottom boys...
589
00:39:48,094 --> 00:39:50,762
Come on, let's clear the way there.
Come on, clear it out.
590
00:39:50,763 --> 00:39:52,472
- Where do you want this junk?
- They've put together
591
00:39:52,473 --> 00:39:54,808
- a genuine rock band.
- Yeah, right there. That's good.
592
00:39:54,809 --> 00:39:56,685
Where do you want this thing?
593
00:39:56,686 --> 00:39:58,395
So, let's welcome please
tonight's last contestants...
594
00:39:58,396 --> 00:40:02,691
Here they are.
The rock group known as the Nightmare.

(MUSIC PLAYING)
596
00:40:17,957 --> 00:40:20,459
(SINGING)
We think what we want
597
00:40:20,460 --> 00:40:23,628
We do anything that we wish
598
00:40:27,842 --> 00:40:30,343
We got no respect
599
00:40:30,344 --> 00:40:33,680
For animal, birdie or fish
600
00:40:37,602 --> 00:40:39,895
The grass does not grow
601
00:40:39,896 --> 00:40:46,151
On the places where we stop and stand
602

Riverbottom Nightmare Band
603
00:40:57,288 --> 00:40:59,289
We know we're a mess
604
00:40:59,916 --> 00:41:03,293
Our type does not like to be clean
605
00:41:07,256 --> 00:41:09,841
We don't brush our teeth
606
00:41:09,842 --> 00:41:13,261
'Cause our toothache
can help us stay mean
607
00:41:16,933 --> 00:41:18,975
We don't wish to learn
608
00:41:19,393 --> 00:41:24,856
But we hate what we don't understand
609
00:41:25,608 --> 00:41:26,650
Riverbottom
610
00:41:27,235 --> 00:41:29,611
When you see us comin'
You better start a-runnin'
611
00:41:29,612 --> 00:41:30,779
We're always startin' trouble
612
00:41:30,780 --> 00:41:33,073
And we're happiest
When things are out of hand
613
00:41:33,074 --> 00:41:36,201
- Woo!
- Aah!
614
00:41:37,161 --> 00:41:39,538
Tempers are for boilin'
Parties are for spoilin'
615
00:41:39,539 --> 00:41:43,291
We even like to sit and pout
Or else, go out and terrorize the land

Riverbottom Nightmare Band
617

(SCREAMING)
618
00:41:56,556 --> 00:41:58,723
We laugh in your face
619
00:41:58,724 --> 00:42:03,061
Or we practice our growl and our sneer
620
00:42:03,062 --> 00:42:04,938
Yeah!
621
00:42:06,315 --> 00:42:08,441
We break up your place
622
00:42:08,442 --> 00:42:12,237
We are dangerous when we are near
623
00:42:16,075 --> 00:42:19,077
And when we are done with our song
624
00:42:19,537 --> 00:42:23,165
Who will get the biggest hand
625
00:42:23,374 --> 00:42:24,374
Who?
626
00:42:24,584 --> 00:42:33,675

628
00:42:56,866 --> 00:43:01,870
And so, the winner of our first
annual talent contest is...
629
00:43:02,788 --> 00:43:04,289
The Nightmare!
630
00:43:17,553 --> 00:43:18,637
Emmet?
631
00:43:20,723 --> 00:43:24,476
I hocked the tool chest
to get the material for my costume.
632
00:43:24,644 --> 00:43:25,852
Oh.
633
00:43:27,730 --> 00:43:31,066
Well, you can see
what I did to your washtub.
634
00:43:33,069 --> 00:43:34,486
Yup.
635
00:43:36,197 --> 00:43:38,823
Evenin', Mrs. Otter. Evenin', boys.
636
00:43:38,824 --> 00:43:40,951
- Hi, Dr. Bullfrog.
- Hi, Doc Bullfrog.
637
00:43:41,661 --> 00:43:42,994
I think you should know
638
00:43:42,995 --> 00:43:46,790
that the judges were impressed
by both of your acts.
639
00:43:46,791 --> 00:43:50,585
They just needed, well,
that little something extra.
640
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,463
- Keep workin' on it.
- Yes, sir.
641
00:43:53,464 --> 00:43:57,008
Well, gotta be gettin' to work.
Restaurant's busy tonight.
642
00:43:57,009 --> 00:44:00,345
- And Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas, sir.
643
00:44:03,516 --> 00:44:08,979
(SIGHS) Well, boys,
looks like they're closing things down.
644
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:13,441
Better head for the river. Quicker to
get home if we walk on the ice.
645
00:44:25,246 --> 00:44:27,872
You know, Emmet,
if I'd have won that contest,
646
00:44:27,873 --> 00:44:31,584
I would've given you that guitar
with the mother-of-pearl inlay.
647
00:44:31,585 --> 00:44:34,254
Would you really? Gosh.
648
00:44:34,255 --> 00:44:36,840
I was gonna get a piano for you.
649
00:44:38,467 --> 00:44:40,885
A piano.
650
00:44:40,886 --> 00:44:42,595
Were you really?
651
00:44:42,596 --> 00:44:45,515
- Yes'm.
- Oh, Emmet.
652
00:44:45,516 --> 00:44:50,937
That's about the nicest present
anybody ever tried to give me.
653
00:44:58,904 --> 00:45:03,033
You know, Emmet,
I guess I should feel pretty bad.
654
00:45:03,034 --> 00:45:06,953
But the funny thing is that I don't.
I feel pretty good.
655
00:45:07,246 --> 00:45:10,206
So do I. I don't know why, but I do.
656
00:45:10,207 --> 00:45:13,793
I guess it's 'cause we did
just what Pa would've done.
657
00:45:15,129 --> 00:45:16,504
(PLAYING KAZOO)
658
00:45:20,092 --> 00:45:22,552
ALICE: Mighty nice
kazoo-blowin', Harvey.
659
00:45:22,553 --> 00:45:26,473
Yeah. It was a great-sounding song.
660
00:45:26,474 --> 00:45:29,267
We should've won.
661
00:45:29,268 --> 00:45:32,896
Well, it just didn't turn out that way.
662
00:45:32,897 --> 00:45:36,441
I thought Ma's song was nice, too.
663
00:45:36,442 --> 00:45:39,277
I hadn't thought of that old song
in years.
664
00:45:39,278 --> 00:45:42,530
But when I did, it just felt right.
665
00:45:42,531 --> 00:45:43,990
(HUMMING)
666
00:45:48,537 --> 00:45:51,956
Say! Those two songs could fit together.
667
00:45:51,957 --> 00:45:54,626
- How do you mean, Ma?
- Here.
668
00:45:54,627 --> 00:45:56,336
Boys! Boys!
669
00:45:56,337 --> 00:45:58,630
I'm gonna start singin' my song,
670
00:45:58,631 --> 00:46:01,966
and you come in singin' yours
when I show you, okay?
671
00:46:01,967 --> 00:46:03,343
- Okay.
- Yeah.
672
00:46:04,303 --> 00:46:07,305
(SINGING)
We're closer now
673
00:46:07,306 --> 00:46:09,307
Than ever before
674
00:46:09,308 --> 00:46:11,434
How much alike we are
675
00:46:11,852 --> 00:46:14,312
Perhaps we're long-lost brothers
676
00:46:15,398 --> 00:46:17,816
There's love in our world
677
00:46:17,817 --> 00:46:20,360
And we're showing it more
678
00:46:20,361 --> 00:46:22,487
We even think the same

Everybody's a friend

We can always use a friend
683
00:46:36,419 --> 00:46:38,837
Favorite stories don't end
684
00:46:38,838 --> 00:46:40,713
Welcome, brother
685
00:46:40,714 --> 00:46:43,842
In our world
686
00:46:44,593 --> 00:46:47,178
Gee, Ma, that sounds fine.
687
00:46:47,179 --> 00:46:49,097
It sure does, Emmet.
688
00:46:52,893 --> 00:46:55,186
Some say our world
689
00:46:55,187 --> 00:46:57,564
Is getting too small
690
00:46:57,565 --> 00:46:59,732
So many things to learn
691
00:47:00,025 --> 00:47:02,402
But we'll enjoy each lesson
692
00:47:03,446 --> 00:47:06,072
I say with kindness
693
00:47:06,073 --> 00:47:08,032
There's room for us all
694
00:47:08,033 --> 00:47:10,577
Problems don't worry us
695
00:47:10,578 --> 00:47:13,997
When half the fun is guessin'
696
00:47:13,998 --> 00:47:18,293
Our world is always changing
697
00:47:18,878 --> 00:47:21,379
Every day's a surprise
698
00:47:21,380 --> 00:47:24,048
Live a lifetime of surprise
699
00:47:24,049 --> 00:47:26,718
Love can open your eyes
700
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,470
Brother, look around
701
00:47:28,471 --> 00:47:31,347
In our world
702
00:47:39,940 --> 00:47:44,402
When night lays sad upon you
703
00:47:44,737 --> 00:47:47,989
Go watch a simple sunrise
704
00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:51,284
See wonder in your eyes
705
00:47:51,285 --> 00:47:53,912
Love can open your eyes
706
00:47:53,913 --> 00:47:55,580
Welcome, brother
707
00:47:55,581 --> 00:47:59,918
To our world
708
00:48:03,380 --> 00:48:05,298
That's fine music, folks.
709
00:48:05,591 --> 00:48:08,092
I thought you needed
something a little extra,
710
00:48:08,093 --> 00:48:12,180
but it appears to me
that what you needed was each other.
711
00:48:12,765 --> 00:48:15,391
Well, we're mighty honored you liked it.
712
00:48:15,726 --> 00:48:18,811
You wouldn't consider working
at the Riverside Rest, would you?
713
00:48:19,104 --> 00:48:21,189
- How about it?
- Oh, boy!
714
00:48:21,190 --> 00:48:25,485
Now, wait a minute.
Is the pay regular when we play regular?
715
00:48:25,903 --> 00:48:28,780
Sure is, and meals are on the house.
716
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:31,533
Golly! You got mashed potatoes?
717
00:48:31,784 --> 00:48:34,536
Sure. And you can start tonight.
718
00:48:34,828 --> 00:48:36,079
(GASPS)
719
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,039
Peachy keen!
720
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,918
Emmet, what do you say?
Sounds better than sellin' snake oil.
721
00:48:41,919 --> 00:48:45,630
Well, sure.
Nobody wants to oil a snake these days.
722
00:48:51,804 --> 00:48:53,555
(SINGING)
We're closer now
723
00:48:53,556 --> 00:48:55,139
Than ever before
724
00:48:55,140 --> 00:48:57,600
How much alike we are
725
00:48:57,601 --> 00:49:00,687
There's love in our world
We're showing it more
726
00:49:00,688 --> 00:49:02,897
You know there may be others
727
00:49:03,274 --> 00:49:05,817
Our world says
Welcome, stranger
728
00:49:05,818 --> 00:49:08,152
Everybody's a friend
729
00:49:08,529 --> 00:49:10,363
- Favorite stories don't end
- Welcome
730
00:49:10,364 --> 00:49:13,658
To our world
731
00:49:21,333 --> 00:49:25,003
And so, Ma and Emmet and the boys
started to make a little regular money
732
00:49:25,004 --> 00:49:26,963
and a lot of really fine music.
733
00:49:26,964 --> 00:49:30,508
And from then on, Christmas was
a little merrier along the river.
734
00:49:35,931 --> 00:49:39,183
I sure enjoyed our first night's work.
735
00:49:39,184 --> 00:49:41,185
Yeah, gonna enjoy the rest of 'em, too.
736
00:49:41,186 --> 00:49:44,355
Golly, I loved the mashed potatoes.
737
00:49:44,356 --> 00:49:46,691
Let's face it, Ma.
We're better at singin' and playin'
738
00:49:46,692 --> 00:49:49,485
than we are at laundry and odd jobs.
739
00:49:49,486 --> 00:49:50,862
Yeah.
740
00:49:50,863 --> 00:49:54,907
You know, boys,
I'd like to do a song for Pa
741
00:49:54,908 --> 00:49:56,868
right here and now.
742
00:49:56,869 --> 00:50:02,248
He took a chance on snake oil,
and you took a chance on a washtub.
743
00:50:02,249 --> 00:50:03,791
Okay by me, Ma.
744
00:50:05,127 --> 00:50:09,922
(SINGING)
When the mountain touches the valley
745
00:50:10,341 --> 00:50:14,719
All the clouds are taught to fly
746
00:50:15,262 --> 00:50:19,807
Thus our souls shall leave this land
747
00:50:19,808 --> 00:50:22,727
Most peacefully
748
00:50:22,728 --> 00:50:25,021
Peacefully
749
00:50:25,230 --> 00:50:30,109
Though our minds
be filled with questions
750
00:50:30,361 --> 00:50:35,156
In our hearts, we'll understand
751
00:50:35,157 --> 00:50:37,825
When the river
752
00:50:37,826 --> 00:50:44,707
Meets the sea
753
00:50:45,209 --> 00:50:49,545
Patience, my brothers
754
00:50:49,546 --> 00:50:53,841
And patience, my sons
755
00:50:54,093 --> 00:50:58,805
In that sweet and final hour
756
00:50:58,806 --> 00:51:03,768
Truth and justice will be done
757
00:51:03,769 --> 00:51:08,773
Like a baby when it is sleeping
758
00:51:08,774 --> 00:51:13,653
In its loving mother's arms
759
00:51:13,654 --> 00:51:17,615
What a newborn baby dreams
760
00:51:17,616 --> 00:51:20,410
Is a mystery
761
00:51:20,411 --> 00:51:22,954
A mystery
762
00:51:23,247 --> 00:51:27,792
But his life will find a purpose
763
00:51:28,127 --> 00:51:32,797
And in time, he'll understand
764
00:51:33,132 --> 00:51:35,883
When the river
765
00:51:36,260 --> 00:51:42,432
Meets the sea
766
00:51:43,142 --> 00:51:46,269
When the river
767
00:51:46,270 --> 00:51:48,479
Meets
768
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:54,318
The almighty sea
