Nothing.

Heat. Heat.

It all started one day after Tom heard

about Becky Thatcher going down to see

St. Louis with the judge.

It just worked on him thinking about her

down there having fun.

>> Time is slipping away in them getting

older and older. Huck, there's no wars

breaking out, no continents to explore.

No way a man could make a name for

himself.

And now Becky exploring. What an

outrage.

>> I heard tell the St. Louis papers been

[music] talking about some kind of

balloon up there. Suppose Becky will see

it,

>> but probably not.

>> That's it.

>> What?

>> All the continents and stuff been

discovered by Christopher Columbus. But

for certain, sure, nobody's charted the

skies.

>> What the Sam Hill you carrying on about?

>> The balloon in the papers near St.

Louis.

>> What about it?

>> Oh, you couldn't see an adventure

hanging from the end of your nose.

>> Full steam ahead.

Get your paper right here. I hate it

coming.

>> The countryside was humming because of

the balloon.

>> There was a comet heading our way.

>> If I gave him these balloons, he might

let me at least, you know, get on walk

around.

>> It takes me a long dooms.

>> Wow.

>> But once lost, I could not find it with

a dog.

>> Great guns.

>> Amazing.

>> Surely, Mr. Twain, you aren't fool

enough to actually travel in that

fantastic contraption.

>> The man with a new idea is a fool. until

the idea succeeds.

>> Tom Sawyer and Huck F.

>> Whatever are you doing here?

>> Nothing.

>> Why Becket Thatcher? Lance Sakes. What a

coincidence. You've been here the same

time as hucking me. [laughter]

>> Isn't he grand? I got up close so I

could see and he stopped. He let me

shake his hand.

>> Well, that's nothing. He's invited us to

be the first inspectors of his balloon.

>> Is that just some more your hot air?

>> Come step lively hug. We best be getting

aboard.

>> So long, Becky.

>> Tom suicide with

>> Well, you really going in that thing,

Mr. Twain? Going traveling?

>> Travel has no longer any charm for me.

I've seen all the foreign countries I

care to see except for heaven and hell

and I have only a vague curiosity as

concerns one of those. [laughter]

No friends, I go to meet the comet.

>> He's not really going to do.

>> Yes, indeed. I surely plan to.

>> But that's danger.

>> Come on, Huck. Come on. Hurry up. You're

nothing but a liar in a stowway, Tom

Sawyer. You too, Hawk Finn.

>> Yes, that's right.

>> You listen.

>> Haley's Comet.

>> I came in with Haley's Comet in 1835

when I was born, and I expect to go out

with it.

>> Oh, I'm looking forward to that.

Welcome to the hurricane net. It's time.

Let's go [groaning] around this thing.

Be careful. Tom,

where are you?

>> Great. Scott, what a contraption.

Hook.

>> Look at that, Tom.

>> I thought I saw someone.

>> Jew will

look at this.

Wow.

H.

>> Uh-oh.

>> Whoopee.

>> Oh no.

>> We're on our way.

>> Oh no.

Great Scott, we got to get off.

>> Off. What's the matter with you? Now

I'll be celebrating.

>> Tom Sawyer the aeronaut. Ha. That'll

show that Becky Thatcher.

>> Show her what? Caught you out, didn't I,

Tom Sawyer? You are stowaways.

>> Becky, you're no balloon inspectctor.

>> Neither are you. Oh, are you ever going

to catch it when your Polly gets a hold

of

>> boys? Tom Hook,

>> Mark Twain,

>> and Becky Thatcher.

>> How do you know our name?

>> Hello, my Angel Fish. More every day.

You remind me of my wife, Livy. God rest

her.

Same combination of innocence and sand.

Same carefree laugh of a girl.

>> What happened to Libby, Mr. Twain?

>> To the helm. We've worked.

Mr. Twin, there's been some kind of an

accident. I think uh a miscalculation.

>> Not by a considerable sight.

>> But we're taken off.

>> What a view.

>> How are we going to get down?

>> You keep a tight tongue, huh?

>> This is bully up here, Mr. Twain.

>> This is glorious.

>> Did we ever strike in lucky?

>> Yeah. How high are we?

>> How are we going to get back down?

>> Down is not our destination, my boy.

>> Oh, no. You mean we're

>> Where are we going?

>> To Haley's comet.

>> Haley's comet. We get

>> burned to a crisp.

>> It'll be the greatest disappointment of

my life if I don't meet up with that

comet.

>> Have a look back here.

>> The man's plum crazy.

>> I want to show you something.

>> Well, I'm not. You stick with me.

>> See here? Now we cross the Atlantic.

Catch this trade wind to where the

comet's parabola comes close to the

Earth or close enough.

>> How come a rider knows so much about

piloting navigating?

>> Cause long before I was a writer, I was

a Mississippi riverboat pilot. Really?

>> Right.

>> Say, that's an uncommon fine frog.

>> Well, that's Homer.

>> You know, it was a frog like Homer that

put me in the writing business.

I wrote a story about the celebrated

jumping frog of Calaveris County.

That's right here. Home of Jim Smiley

and his famous frog, Donald Webster.

>> Famous frog? Will you tell me what

incarnation a frog could do to get

himself famous?

>> Oh, Tom,

>> I've been trying everything I know, and

I ain't even a little bit famous yet.

>> Well, I'll tell you all about him, just

as it was told to me.

What a fella that Jim Smiley, always

betting on anything that turned up. Only

thing is he made sure he won every bet.

He catched a frog one day and took him

home and said he'd calculate to educate

him.

>> All a frog wants is educating, and he

can do most anything.

So he never done nothing for three

months. Sat in his backyard and learned

that frog to jump. You bet he did learn

him, too.

>> All right, D. Let's just see how far you

can go.

[laughter]

>> COME ON BACK NOW. Work forever.

[laughter]

Smiley

knew a sucker when he saw one.

>> What might that be you got in a barrel?

>> Might be a parrot. Might be a canary.

Maybe. But ain't

only just a frog.

H.

So it is.

What's he good for?

>> Well, he's good enough for one thing, I

should say. He can out jump any frog in

Cala's County.

>> Well, I don't see no points about that

frog is any better than any other frog.

>> Maybe you just don't understand frogs.

Anyway, I got my opinion and I'll just

rest $40 that he can out jump any frog

in Calver's County.

>> Well, I'm only a stranger here.

I ain't got no frog.

But if I had a frog, I'd bet you.

>> That's all right. I'll go get you a

frog.

You hungry frog.

>> Smiley went to the swamp and slopped

around in the mud for a long time.

Another one.

Finally, he fetched a frog and fetched

him in to give him to this fell.

>> You Ricky,

here it comes. There's your frog.

>> The likes of that.

>> Put my money on smilers frog. Me, too.

>> Count me in. Now then, if you're ready,

set him alongside a D with his four paws

even with Dan, and I'll give the word.

Hey, on your marks, get set, get

your

dump.

I said

>> get off that line. Get going.

>> Oh no.

Jump. Go ahead.

>> We won.

>> What do you mean you weren't blame? That

was the last $40 I

>> have.

Well, as I said before,

>> I don't see no points about that frog is

any better than any other frog.

>> I do wonder why inarnation that their

frog just give up. Wonder if there ain't

something the matter with him. Peers

look mighty baggy somehow.

I blame my cat if he don't weigh 50 lbs.

I've been hornswaggled.

>> He was the mattest man. He took out

after that fella, but he never catched

me.

>> Shooks. I could write a better story

than that. Tom,

>> that's what I said myself when I heard

it. It was a big success all the same. I

became a writer. I haven't worked the

day since.

>> Now that's a job I'd like to get. If you

get out of here alive.

>> There she is.

>> How come you want to catch that comet so

bad, Mr. Twain?

>> Oh, ho ho. The comet and I are a part of

the plan, Angelfish.

No doubt the Almighty has said here,

here goes those two unaccountable

freaks. They came in together. They must

go out together.

Here, set your eyes on this celestial

schooner.

>> Ooh.

Now,

>> ain't that a heartwarming spectacle?

>> It's

Well, Tom and Huck and I

Well, see, we're not so sure that

>> that I know what I'm doing up here.

>> What?

>> Angel Face, it's just like piloting a

river. You get to know the shape of it.

Like following a hall at home in the

dark. And even if you feel some fear,

you know no harm can come to you cuz you

traveled that hallway 100 times. Nothing

but bare feet and faith.

What are we going to do? You know your

own self. We got to find a way off of

this here. Balloon Tom Sawyer.

>> Adventurer. No. Okay. No. Over here.

Over there.

Well,

>> I got a plan just starting to brew.

>> Well, what is it?

>> First, we got to get Becky off. She

talks too much. Can't keep a secret. So,

me and Huck was thinking we should set

her down and let Becky off. Things are

liable to get pretty rough.

>> There is nothing comparable to the

endurance of a woman. But

>> this is different, Mr. Twain. We're

aeronauts and girls don't belong here.

Aeron knots.

>> She would have to horn in on this

expedition.

>> Huh?

>> Whoa. To the main.

>> There's that thing again.

>> Come on, let's go investigate.

>> Tom, where are you going?

>> This thing's really amazing.

>> Excuse me. The creeps.

>> Table of contents. Welcome to the

complete works of Mark Twain. This is

THE INEXAVATOR. CHOOSE YOUR story and

proceed to the correct floor.

>> Let's have a look around.

>> Okay, now Tom, I got to know about this

secret plan if we're going to be

partners.

>> Okay, we're going to watch and learn

just the most we can about flying this

here balloon.

>> Look, [screaming]

that was close. I don't ever want to

meet that guy again. He was scary.

Well, what then? Huh?

>> What you said? After we learn the most

we can about this here balloon.

>> Welcome to the library builder room.

>> Have you ever seen a place like this?

Huck.

>> Where are you going?

Listen here, Tom. I want

>> Look at all this. What a contraption.

>> Tom, I got to know about the plan.

>> Guess those must be the classics

everybody's always talking about. What's

a classic?

>> Something everybody wants to have read,

but nobody wants to read.

>> Library.

>> Oh, here you are.

>> Garn it.

>> What you guys doing?

>> Oh, what's this thing do?

>> Go ahead, give it a try. That's my

monument to Adam and Eve.

>> There she goes again.

>> Thanks.

They're naked.

>> So are we all the day we're born, but we

learn pretty modest.

Not all over, just in places.

But it's just as well, I suppose. Naked

people have little or no influence in

society.

The way I heard it, that EU caused

nothing but trouble.

>> Well, I heard that each found the other

a considerable nuisance.

>> Uhhuh.

>> In the beginning.

>> Perhaps you would be interested in my

research.

>> Yes, sir. I surely would.

>> And so would I.

>> Have a look here.

>> The Diary of Adam and Eve.

>> It all started with the world's first

birthday party.

there.

Oh.

Oh, this is nice.

Oops.

What am I doing

there? Okay.

This is good.

This is cute.

Oh, what a surprise. He's going to love

this place.

Adam,

this is for you.

>> Adam.

>> Oh. Oh, yeah. No.

Adam.

>> Adam.

>> What?

>> It's for you.

>> Hello.

>> Oh, no.

>> What?

>> Aha.

Oops. Ah.

Huh?

H. Okay.

Ah! Aha!

Here we go.

Yahoo!

Oh! Oh,

no.

>> This was truly paradise. And Adam

figured to keep track of it all. But as

it turned out, someone else was keeping

track of paradise as well.

No

>> Saturday.

I think it is a man. I had never seen

one, but it looked like one.

>> I feel more curiosity about it than

about any of the other reptiles. It has

fray hair, no hips, and tapers like a

carrot. So, I think it is a reptile,

though it may be architecture.

I was afraid of it at first, for I

thought it was going to chase me,

[crying]

[screaming]

but it was only trying to get away.

I waited a good while, then gave it up

and went home.

Sunday.

Today, the same thing. I've got it up a

tree again.

It is resting. I suppose it looks to me

like the creature is more interested in

resting than anything else.

Oh no.

H.

>> It was trying to catch the speckled

fishes that play in the pool, and I had

to claw it to try to make it go up the

tree again and let them alone.

>> This new creature is a good deal in the

way. I wish it would hang out with the

other animals and leave me alone.

A new creature eats too much fruit this

morning. Found it trying to shake apples

out of that forbidden tree.

>> Wanting to make friends, I tried to get

him some of those apples. I failed, but

I think the good intention pleased him.

>> Oh, where's my [screaming]

ladder?

During the last day or two, I have taken

the work of naming things off his hands.

He is evidently very grateful. The new

creature says it looks like grass.

That is not a reason. It is imbecility

and high-handed, it seems to me.

Everything's named before I can lodge a

protest. I get no chance to name

anything myself.

>> He has no gift at that line. I do not

let him see that I'm aware of his

defect.

>> The naming goes recklessly on in spite

of anything I can do.

My life is not as happy as it was

Sunday.

H the new creature says its name is Eve.

Uh that's all right. I have no

objections. Says it's to call it Eve

when I want it to come. In that case, I

said it was

superfluous.

This morning he used a surprisingly good

word.

>> Yes, it is a large good word and will

bear repetition.

>> Superfluous.

>> Superfluous.

>> Where did he get that word?

>> I don't think I've ever used it.

>> Superfluous.

Yeah. Yeah, I like that.

>> Friday.

Yahoo. [screaming]

She took to beseeching him to stop going

over the fall, but they had no other use

that he could see.

>> I went over the falls in a barrel. Not

satisfactory to her. Went over in a tub.

Still not satisfactory.

>> What I need is a change of scene.

I escaped last night. [laughter]

Huh?

Mm-

But she hunted me out.

>> We'll immigrate again when the occasion

offers.

Sunday.

>> Mhm.

>> What?

Why now? [clears throat] I'm

>> Oh, I

I

>> for Adam, Sunday was getting to be more

and more trying. It was selected and set

apart as the day of rest.

I go to the water when I need someone to

talk to.

It is a good friend to me

and my only one.

It talks when I talk.

It is sad when I am sad. and it comforts

me with sympathy.

>> She nearly strangled and said it [music]

was most uncomfortable.

This made her sorry for the creatures

that live there, which she calls fo

fish.

>> I don't see that they are any happier

than they were before,

only quieter.

He is avoiding me and seems to wish I

would not talk to him. So I made friends

with the animals.

>> Oh my god.

>> She thinks that things aren't right.

>> Voila.

>> The buzzard, for instance, she thinks it

was intended to live on decayed flesh.

But we cannot overturn the whole scheme

to accommodate the buzzard.

>> They both should fall or they both

should fly.

I don't know which.

One of these is a fake.

>> Congratulations

my dear. You have discovered the law of

gravity.

>> Why, so I have.

I always say it's best to prove things

by actual experiment or you'll never get

educated. Don't you agree? Oh, I do

indeed. Knowledge is not easily come by.

But there is a fine adult education

course nearby if you're interested in

that sort of thing.

>> Really?

She is taken up with a snake. And I'm

glad because the snake talks and this

enables me to get some rest.

>> But he advised her to keep away from

that tree. He told her it would bring

death into the world.

>> But that's wonderful, Adam. You'll have

fresh meat for the buzzards, and the

lions and tigers can quit eating that

ridiculous grass. Have you ever looked

at their teeth, Adam? They aren't

herbivores. I foresee trouble.

>> We'll immigrate.

>> He escaped and rode all night as fast as

he could go.

>> Hoping to get clear of the garden and

hide in some other country before the

trouble over that apple should begin.

Ah!

Uh-oh.

Too bad.

[music]

>> Uh-oh.

I got hurricane.

>> Holy cow. What was that?

Fully a lightning storm.

>> All hats on there quickly now.

>> It's a blind night out. What a storm.

Homer. Homer, come back.

>> All hands home.

>> Look out. We're going to crash.

>> Like hell we are.

Get your final station lovers are

crashing that boat great

the pressure valve.

Got to find a mark.

It's a sounding gun.

Off

saying things, Homer,

>> the trigger. Pull the trigger.

>> Barn 15,

I think.

>> 15.

>> What? Look.

>> What?

>> I thought I saw someone.

>> Me, too.

>> We hit a bar.

We're coming about. Pull in the

stabilizer.

>> Frog overboard.

>> Mr. Maggie, take the wheel. Okay,

>> you go.

>> What's happening down there?

>> Hang on there, little fella.

>> I can't see. What's happening?

>> No. Oh my.

I can't look. Hang on,

hang on.

Yay.

Who's the lynchman?

>> Bam, sir.

>> Devil,

the starboard. Spinner. SPINNER.

SPINNER. are heading for the rocks.

>> Hook your head up.

>> No, not that way.

>> Stabber.

>> Turn, Becky.

>> Stabber.

The other way. The other way.

>> What? Oh no.

>> Oh no.

I got back there, mortals. Hold Oliver.

Baby

[screaming]

no

one

out

balance now.

here. I'll I'll I'll take her now.

We've lost valuable time. As deck hands,

you've got a lot to learn.

Of

course, training is everything. I mean,

a cauliflower is just a cabbage with a

college education.

I'll show you the ropes later on. You go

down and get warm.

Your cabbages.

I don't think we're ever going to get

back home.

>> Oh, yes we are. Tom's got a plan, don't

you, Tom?

>> Huh? What?

>> Huh?

>> What in the

Polly?

>> Welcome to the adventures of TOM SAWYER.

POLLY,

>> WHAT'S going on?

>> Where'd he go?

>> We're home.

>> Oh, huck, open the door. Hurry up.

>> That was close. She was going to make me

whitewash that old fence again.

>> Tom Sawyer, you chow her head. Open that

door. If you want off so bad.

>> Where'd it go?

>> Close enough to home to bark our shins.

And now it's gone.

>> Look, somebody's coming.

>> Oh, Mr. Twain.

>> What's the matter?

>> Welcome to the adventures of Tom Sawyer.

>> Am I already famous?

>> Don't you care about nothing else, you

lummet?

>> Fame is a vapor. The only earthly

certainty is oblivion.

>> Welcome to the mysterious stranger.

>> What?

>> What?

>> Hello?

>> Who are you?

>> An angel.

What's your name?

>> Satan.

What's the matter?

>> Nothing. only. It's sure a sorry name

for an angel.

>> Wow.

>> Please come in.

>> Magician.

Come on.

>> Amazing. It's like an island.

Did you see that?

Mer,

>> how do you learn to do that?

>> I didn't learn it at all. It comes

naturally to me. Like other curious

things.

Are you hungry?

>> Sure am.

>> What kind of fruit do you like the most?

>> Oranges, apples, grapes.

Where'd he go?

>> What happened to him?

>> There.

>> Oh boy.

>> Can we help?

You may make some people.

>> I'll make the king and queen.

I'm going to make a soldier.

>> Look at that little village

>> there. Here's a buddy.

>> Now we'll give them life.

>> Moving.

>> Looks like my pap on Saturday night.

>> Wow.

>> Look, they're moving.

>> There's like regular people.

>> [screaming]

>> I find you humans quite interesting

>> even though you are a worthless greedy

lot.

>> How annoying that sound is.

>> Fools.

What fascinations there are on this

planet.

Strange mortals with curious customs.

We'll have a storm now and an earthquake

if you like. You must stand aside out of

danger.

Oh yeah,

you

>> [music]

>> I can do no wrong

for I do not know what it is.

>> You murdered them.

>> Never mind them.

>> People are of no value.

We could make more sometime

if we need them.

[crying]

>> Life itself is only a vision, a dream.

Nothing exists, say empty space. And you

and you

are but a thought.

I want to go home.

>> You reckon I'm getting out of here?

[groaning]

>> Not that way. H

Mr. Dway. [screaming]

[groaning]

>> Remember your old friend

engine.

>> Mr. Twain, why did you do that?

>> I realize that from the cradle up, I

have been like the rest of the race,

never quite sane at night.

>> But Mr. Twain,

>> welcome to the damned human race.

That does it.

>> Huh?

>> We're only waiting for the right moment

now.

>> Right moment for what?

>> Yeah.

>> Becky, do you swear not to tell?

>> Sure.

>> On your grandmother's bones.

Well, do you?

>> Yeah.

We're going to hijack this balloon.

>> What?

>> Hijack?

>> Can't you see it? Tom Sawyer Aeronort

saves airborne friends from Madman's

death wish.

>> [music]

>> Woah. Woah.

Woah. Woah.

Woah. Oh, wo wo.

When Tom

tomorrow.

Okay. So, you line that up with the sun,

>> right?

>> Yeah.

>> Mr. Dwayne.

>> Mhm.

>> What's this?

>> Now, you be careful there. That's the

central power panel.

Ah, London, right on schedule. Good

thing, too. That Comet won't be around

again till I'm 150. By that time, I may

have changed my mind.

>> All right, scouts. What'd you uncover?

>> Well, the steering looks pretty easy.

>> I found the power thrusters, but I don't

know.

>> Well, I found a way to stop this ship

cold.

What's that?

>> Welcome to Mark Twain's notebook.

>> I reckon it's Mr. Twain.

>> I am the only man living who understands

human nature. God has put me in charge

of this branch office. When I retire,

there'll be no one to take my place.

I shall keep on doing my duty. When I

get over on the other side, I want to

use my influence to have the human race

drowned again.

This time drown good. No omission, no

ark.

Sometimes the old man seems powerful and

happy.

>> I think he's lonely.

>> I think he's asleep. Thunderation. We

struck it lucky. This is our chance.

>> What?

>> Uhoh.

>> We're going to sache on over there. Hog

tie Mr. Twain and hijack this here ship.

>> But

>> I don't think

>> Don't be a couple of sissies in the face

of real adventure.

Tom, is this necessary?

>> There. That ought to hold him.

>> Hey, don't set those keys there.

>> The key always has to be just out of the

prisoner's reach so we can plan his

escape.

>> Confounded. That's foolish, Tom.

>> To the helm. Aeronauts.

>> That's Aeronauts.

>> Come on.

Hurricane.

>> Look, we had you all tied up.

>> No, no, no, no. That was just a little

writer's block. [laughter]

>> Never saw such escape artist.

>> You look about as disappointed as

Presbyterians in hell.

They're thinking we're going to die when

we meet up with that comet.

>> Suppose we do die.

>> Is there truly a heaven or a hell?

>> Huh? Oh, I don't know. I don't want to

express an opinion. You see, I'd have

friends in both places.

Now, consider old Captain Stormfield.

Come on over here, Tom. I got something

to show you.

>> Look at that.

>> Tom, is that you? Why? OH, THERE MARK

TWAIN.

>> WHERE might you be going?

>> I might.

>> I most assuredly am going to heaven.

>> Ah, an optimist.

Racing his own comet, too. Stormfield's

a man with faith. Means he's willing to

believe in what he knows ain't so.

What was that?

>> Oh my.

>> Well, quick. Where are you from?

>> San Francisco. [laughter]

>> Is it a planet?

>> Planet? Why? It's a city. And moreover,

it's one of the biggest and the finest.

>> Oh, that's delightful.

But we don't deal in cities here. Where

are you from in a

more general way?

>> Beg your pardon?

>> Uh, put me down for California.

>> Is it a constellation? [laughter]

>> Oh my goodness. No, it's a state. I'm

from America. The United States of

America. [laughter]

>> There ain't any such orb. Orb? What are

you talking about, young fella? It ain't

an orb. It's a country. Why America IS

ONE OF THE FINEST?

[laughter]

>> Once and for all. Where are you from?

From [sighs]

>> just say I'm from the world.

>> What world?

>> Why uh the world? Of course.

>> The world.

Well, there's billions of them.

>> The one that has the sun and THE MOON

AND MARS, NEPTUNE, JUPITER, [groaning]

VENUS, SATURN,

>> JUPITER. JUPITER. JUPITER. Seems to me

we had a man from there 8 or 900 years

ago.

>> Did you come straight here from your

system?

>> Um,

yes, sir.

That is not true. And this is no place

for a fib.

>> You wandered from your court. How did

that happen?

>> Well, I'm sorry. I I take back what I

said. I confess. I raced a little with a

comet one day. Only just the least

little bit. Only the tiniest little bit.

>> That divergence has caused all this

trouble. Well, it's landed you at a gate

that's billions of leagues from the

right one.

>> Oh, go on in.

>> You'll be safe forever and you won't

have any more trouble.

>> Next.

>> I'm off.

>> Well, quick. Where are you from?

>> Well, I beg your pardon, mister, but uh

ain't you forgot something?

>> Forgot something?

Not that I know of.

>> Why? My harp and my wreath and and my

halo and and my hymn book and and my

palm branch.

>> I never heard of these things before.

Oh, trust me. You won't be conspicuous

in this district without it.

>> Well, good day.

ain't

turn me on.

Do it again. Just like that. Yes.

Oh yeah.

dare we do anymore.

>> Well,

>> well, look who's here.

>> You know, I began to see that

A man's got to be in his own heaven to

be happy.

[laughter]

>> Perfectly correct.

>> Did you imagine that the same heaven

would suit all sorts of people?

[laughter]

Go that way. Oh, a million leagues or

so.

>> Well, thank you, sir.

>> So long.

>> It's been 12. It's been

Our

plane book airplanes halos 13.

>> Captain Eli Stormfield of San

>> Francisco. You betcha.

>> Make him out a clean bill of health and

let him in.

>> Show me a cloud. I'm all right now.

I think.

Oh, sorry. He forgot. Supposed to be

quiet.

A harp, a hembook, and wings.

Good God, what a swindle.

>> I'm led to consider a different path.

Heaven for climate, hell for company.

>> Either way, you got to die to get there.

>> Land. Satan. Set her back.

>> Whoa. What's that?

>> Ah, those things.

Nothing to be afraid of. It's only the

fangs.

>> That spinx.

>> Now with the right wind, we should go

aloft right here. The comet is still

some time off. Best we should impose on

this great beast to secure our anchor.

>> We're cooked. That's the end. We're

gunners.

>> There is no sadder sight than a young

pessimist.

Except an old optimist.

Uh, let's see.

>> We'll have to wait.

>> Come on.

>> To ascend until exactly 6:00.

>> So, when the alarm goes off, the knight

cuts the rope and the axe smashes the

>> What?

>> Thought I heard him coming.

>> Nah, it's only Homer.

I think that ought do it.

>> Why don't we just take the axe and smash

it now?

>> What's the good of a plan that's no more

trouble than that? Timing's everything.

You heard Mr. Twain. 6:00.

Come on.

My good old ancestor Adam.

How deep a debt of gratitude we owe to

Adam and Eve.

That brought death into the world.

[sighs]

the diary.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> We never finished Adam and Eve's story.

>> Oh, that's right.

>> I guess we have time.

>> Sure, we've got plenty of time.

>> Let's see. Where were we? Oh, yeah. Eve

had just eaten the apple and rearranged

the world a little.

After the disaster, Adam found a place

outside the garden and was fairly

comfortable for a while.

H

I was not sorry she came. There are but

meager pickings here, and she brought

some of those apples.

It was against my principles, but I find

that principles have no real force

except when one is wellfed.

Huh?

I find she's at least a companion.

I would be lonely and depressed without

her now that we've lost our property.

Tuesday.

She says it is ordered that we will work

for a living hereafter.

She will be useful. I will

superintendent.

>> Oh.

Oh.

>> What is it?

>> Fire.

>> How do you know?

>> It looks like fire. It annoyed him that

I should know and he must ask.

>> How did it come? I made it.

>> What are these?

>> Colds.

>> He picked one up but changed his mind

and put it down again. Then he went

away.

>> Nothing interests him.

>> I was mistaken about her in the

beginning.

>> Perhaps it is better to live outside the

garden with her

>> then inside without her. [laughter]

>> Would you like to see my etchings?

Eve calls it Cain.

>> I believe she caught it in the timber.

>> It's a new and different kind of animal.

A fish perhaps.

Sometimes she carries it in her arms

half the night when it complains and

wants to get to the water.

>> I have never seen her do this with any

other fish.

and it troubles me greatly.

>> I have come to like Sundays.

Superintending all the week tires the

body so

I have not seen a fish that could laugh.

[laughter]

>> This makes me doubt. I do not love Adam

on account of his brightness, though I

think in time it will develop.

He is self-educated and really knows a

multitude of things,

but none of them are true.

>> It isn't a fish. In my judgment, it is

either an enigma or some kind of bug. I

never had a thing perplex me. though.

>> Perhaps I could take it apart and see

what its arrangements are.

>> It is not a kangaroo. It is probably

some kind of bear.

>> Mama. Papa.

>> This resemblance to words is

extraordinary and is a thing which no

other bear can do. This one will be less

dangerous when it has company of its own

species.

I will make an exhaustive search.

Why do I love him? I guess just because

he is a man

and because he is mine.

It has been a weary hunt. Yet I have had

no success.

But without so much as stirring from

home, she has caught another one.

>> Hi, Daddy.

>> I never saw such luck.

>> Bye, daddy.

>> Lame. were children. Adam and Eve

discovered it in time. It was their

coming in that small shape that puzzled

them.

>> Abel is a good boy.

But if Cain had stayed a bear, it would

have improved him.

>> Whoa. What's going on?

>> Here we go.

It is my deepest hope that we may pass

from this life together. But if

>> But if one of us must go first, let it

be me. For he is strong and I am weak

and am not

>> and am not so necessary to her as she is

to me.

Life without him would not be life.

>> How could I endure it?

Wind in the east.

I think we shall have rain.

>> [cough and clears throat]

>> What is it?

>> It's uh

Valentine.

>> Valentine?

Where did you get that word? It It It

looks like a Valentine.

>> It's a good word and bears repeating.

The garden is lost,

but I have found him and am content.

Wherever she was,

there

was Eden.

I'm tired

and old.

I wish I were with my living.

>> That's really why you want to meet the

comet, isn't it?

>> And I am looking forward to that.

But Mr. [music] Twain,

we're too young to die.

>> Die? Fiddlesticks? You're not going to

die.

>> But how are we going to get home?

>> Soon as I get to that comet, this

vessel's all yours.

>> This ship.

>> You mean it?

>> Oh, no.

>> [bell]

>> Tom, the power.

Oh no.

Oh no.

>> What inarnation?

THE POWER. DAD. Blame it. What's going

on?

>> We have smashed THE POWER PANEL.

>> WHAT?

>> We didn't know.

>> We're trapped in here. We can't get to

the emergency power switch. The airbag

will blow us all to hell.

>> Oh no. Sawyer, I ought to KNOCK YOU THE

PORT HOLE. COME ON,

>> TOM. Let me try.

>> It's too small. There must be a way.

>> Wouldn't bet on it.

>> Homer, he can do it.

>> Homer Hawk, this is serious. I've been

educating him. He can do most anything.

>> Oh, it's a chance in a million.

>> At least give him a try.

>> What else we got?

>> All right, Huck. The emergency power

button is just inside the back rail near

the helm. 1 ft forward of the stabilizer

control wheel.

>> And what's the distance between my hand

and the stabilizer control wheel?

>> Oh, about 14 ft. 14 and 1/2 ft.

>> Okay, Omar. 14 and 1/2 big ones as the

crew flies inside the fence. Hold the

back flip so you can see the driver.

Then slide one big one to east.

>> What the?

>> It's the pressure.

>> Oh no.

>> Well, here goes.

>> All right, Homer. Juan progressy

>> r.

>> I knew he couldn't.

>> What are we going to do?

>> Homer.

Homer. Homer. Homer.

Come on, old toad. Hit the button.

Homer.

Homer.

Homer.

I jing.

>> Yay home.

>> NOW THAT LIVELY, you swags.

>> Let's go explorers, name your name.

>> Husband

and Thomas

>> to your battle stations. Come on,

>> Homer. You're a hero. Let's go.

There it goes.

>> Damn, we missed it.

>> Let's catch it.

>> I I

>> Okay, here we go.

>> We need altitude. Jettison the

superfluous

>> cost the type setter. Worst damn

investment I ever made.

>> Shove the formal wear.

I'm all I need.

Hold on there. Keep that manuscript.

Won't be published for years yet. We are

fast rising from affluence to poverty.

It's way ahead of us.

>> And

commission the auxiliary thrusters.

>> I I sir

pour off the call.

>> Yes, sir.

[screaming]

All hands may move. Raise the

stabilizers.

Put some steam into

>> stabilizers activated, sir.

>> Tom.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Lower the pressure mount.

>> Okay, we're catching that

>> here. Let me help, Tom.

Meteor.

>> Don't be afraid. Confidence protects

children. And it is. I know it's true.

I've tested it.

I got it.

[singing]

>> Won't forget. Fire up the handy

retriever.

You got one.

Got another one. Yahoo.

[music]

>> In and out.

>> This is critical. We're entering the

channel. Pull back the thrusters one

half. Hey, Captain.

>> We must be very careful.

Getting

shallow murky.

>> Can't see

led there to the sanding gun.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Sound down.

>> Mark three.

>> Mark three.

>> Ahead. One third.

>> Yes, Captain.

>> Halfway.

>> Dared halfway.

Good job.

>> Back to church.

>> I I sir,

>> come down.

>> Last twless twain.

>> Now stand by Huckle.

>> Now let her have it. Every archer

dead plane.

>> Uh-oh.

>> HANG ON.

>> OKAY.

>> [music]

>> My kings, we done it.

>> We made it.

>> That was bullying.

>> Great guns. That was well done. Cabbages

to cauliflowers.

>> Yeah. Okay, calm down, Homer.

Come on out and show yourself.

>> There you go. Scaring everybody again.

YOU haunted me long enough.

>> Let's get this over with.

>> Two more.

>> What's going on?

>> How can there be two of you?

>> This is craziness. Everyone is a moon

and has a dark side which he never shows

to anybody if he can help it.

>> I've seen you before. You've been on

this ship the whole time, haven't you?

>> Why don't we tie that other one up to

keep him from going with you?

>> Yeah,

>> he's such a wrap scallion.

>> He must come with me, Tom. I'm not whole

without him.

>> What about us? You shall aly sail a

markane around the world for a long

time. You are a capable crew and this

ship a large enough [music] body of work

that you may live forever or long

enough.

My books are water.

Those of the great geniuses are wine.

Everybody drinks water.

Let me see. There are a number of things

I need to tell you before I go.

Always

obey your parents when they are present.

Be respectful of your superiors if you

have any. Rise early for it is the early

bird that catches the worm. I once knew

a man who tried it. Got up at sunrise,

horse bit him.

[laughter]

>> It's time.

>> I'm still considering whether to go. I

have never seen an atom of truth, that

there is a future life. Yet, I am

strongly inclined to expect one. Anyway,

don't be such a in the face of a

real adventure.

Well,

and I'm not as big a fool as Stormfield.

[music] If I can't swear, I won't stay.

>> [music]

>> Look,

>> Mr. Twain. Where's the comet going now?

>> To Eden. Angelfish. Back to Eden.

>> [clears throat]

>> I found this in Adam's diary.

You can have it.

>> Yeah. Well, I found these.

>> [laughter]

>> The human race in all its poverty has

only one truly effective weapon.

Laughter.

Against the assault of laughter,

nothing can stand.

Hang on.

Okay, now level her out. Well, this was

one adventure Mr. Twain wouldn't get

around to writing.

>> So, I figured to get it all down before

I forgot a single thing.

>> Let me help you write it. Okay. After

all, I am pretty much the hero.

>> Well, I am.

>> And when it's done, we'll get it to a

publisher just like Mr. Twain.

>> And then we're asking for it, Hook.

>> Okay. Ready?

>> The Adventures of Mark Twain by the

great famous worldrenowned celebrated

author and [clears throat]
