All language subtitles for Bewitched S03E13 My Friend Ben_track3_[eng]

Oh, dear.

No. Not fair.

(CLATTERING)

(CLATTERING CONTINUES)

Oh, dear.

Aunt Clara! Easy.
I’m sorry, Samantha.

I’m sorry.
I thought I was popping
into the kitchen.

Don’t worry about a thing.
You only missed by a few feet.

Oh, yes.
Oh, it’s distressing.
What?

It’s distressing.
What?

Oh, dear. You know,
I used to pop in on the dime.

Hmm.
Oh, but when you get old,

you know, the,
uh, equipment...
The navigation equipment...

You know,
it’s not what it was.
Oh, oh! Yes, well.

Yeah, so I see.
Come on in. Come on in.

You come in and sit down.
(CHUCKLING)

There you go.
Oh, go on, go on.

Do just what you were doing.
(CHUCKLES)

What are you doing?

Trying to fix this lamp,
but I think I’ve got it
wired wrong.

Oh, dear.
Now do be careful.

Electricity
is a very tricky thing,

with all the watts
and the ohms and
the... And the...

(LAUGHS)
I’ll call an electrician.

Oh, no.
Don’t bother, Aunt Clara.

Darrin will look at it
when he gets home.

I’m gonna go take a look
at Tabatha. You just relax.

Wait till you see
how she’s grown.
Yes.

Yes. No bother.
No bother at all.

Hark ye, hark ye,

ye Witches
who live in lamps,

ye powers of watts
and ohms and amps,

wizards of AC/DC transmission,

send to me an electrician.

(CHUCKLES)
(SCREAMS)

It worked!

Benjamin Franklin
at your service, madam.

Oh!
(CHUCKLES)

Samantha,
the electrician’s arrived.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

Uh, here’s the lamp,
Mr. Franklin.

Madam, who are you?
What manner of contraption
is that?

(SIGHS)
It’s an ordinary lamp,
and we want you to fix it.

Excuse me, madam.
Who are you?

Benjamin Franklin, madam,
at your service, but...

Benjamin Franklin?

Aunt Clara,
what have you done?

FRANKLIN: Ladies, I fear
you have the advantage.

You seem to recognize me,

yet I don’t know you
or where I am

or, for that matter,
how I came to be here.

Are you really
Benjamin Franklin?

Madam, although a prudent man
should be miserly

with those things he holds
to be certain,

I can assure you
that I am indeed he!

Uh, Samantha, you know,
electricians cost
$7.50 an hour.

Aunt Clara. Aunt Clara,
do you know what you’ve done?

You’ve brought back
Benjamin Franklin,
the famous one.

Now, all he did was experiment
with electricity. He wouldn’t
know how to fix a lamp.

He wouldn’t know how
to fix a lamp?

Shocking.

Um, uh, Mr. Franklin.

I’m Samantha Stephens,

And this is my Aunt Clara.

Enchante, madame.
(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Oh, merci!
(SPEAKING FRENCH)

What did he say?
Uh, what did you say, I mean?

Oh, "we’re pleased to meet
each other" in French,
Aunt Clara.

You see, in Mr. Franklin’s
time, people often
spoke French

when they wanted
to be very polite.

In my time, madam?

In my time?
How come you...

How come you to say
my time as if it were
far-removed from your own?

Forgive me,
but I am perplexed.

Well, I don’t blame you.

Forgive us.

Um, Mr. Franklin,

this is
20th-century America.

But that’s impossible.

It’s against
the laws of nature!

Want to see a calendar?

And yet I confess,

I find myself
in strange surroundings,

the room filled with devices
I’ve never seen before.

Can it be...

Is it possible that modern
science has advanced so far

as to be capable of
transporting a man from one
century to another?

Well, yes, I suppose
you could put it that way.

That’s fantastic.
Absolutely fantastic.

You mentioned
the word electricity earlier.

I’m... I’m curious.

I dealt with some
of the natural phenomena
of electricity.

I... I wonder,
did anything come of it?

Electricity, Mr. Franklin.

But that’s...
That’s astounding!

It’s astounding!

Oh, it does work.
It works!

Oh, there were those
in my day who would have
clapped me in the stocks

for dealing with witchcraft.
(CHUCKLES)

Oh... Oh...
Well, I remember...

Aunt Clara,
let’s get Mr. Franklin
some coffee from the kitchen.

Oh, don’t trouble yourself,
ladies.

Although, if you should happen
to have a tankard of ale...

(MOANS)
Why, Mr. Franklin,

somehow I never thought of you
as a drinking man.

Well, drinking doesn’t improve
our faculties, it’s true,
but it helps.

(GIGGLES)

Come on, Aunt Clara.

Aunt Clara,
you have to get rid of him...

Nicely, of course.

Now, Samantha,
he hasn’t fixed the lamp,
you know.

Aunt Clara, he isn’t
an ordinary electrician.

He’s Benjamin Franklin,
and he doesn’t belong here.

Well, um,
I suppose you’re right.

(CHUCKLES)
Yes, I’ve done it again.

Hmm?
I’ve gone and witched
the whole thing up.

Oh, no, no,
you haven’t at all.

It was just a little mistake
in judgment.

As a matter of fact,
I’m rather impressed that
you were able to get him here.

It was a bit of the old Clara,
wasn’t it?

(BOTH CHUCKLING)
Oh, yes, you can still
teach me a thing or two.

And I’m sure you can get rid
of him just as easily.

Well, I don’t know.

It’s much harder to reverse
the spell, you know.
Ah, yes, I know.

Well, Aunt Clara, you just
stay in here and concentrate.

I’ll go outside
and entertain Mr. Franklin.

(MUMBLES)
Concentrate.

Ooh, forgot.
One tankard of ale coming up.

DARRIN: Hi, honey.
(DOOR CLOSES)

Hi.

Well, that’s a fine way
to greet a husband after
a hard day at work.

Well, what’s that?
Oh...

And who is that?
This is a tankard of ale.

DARRIN: Sam, who is he?
What have you done?

Well...

Saman... Samantha...
Oh, he’s still here.

I thought I had it. Oh.

Mr. Stephens, I presume.

I’m proud to make the
acquaintance of such
a charming lady’s husband

and an enlightened gentleman
of the 20th century.

I thought I’d sent him back.
I might have known.
Samantha!

Uh, darling, dinner
will be ready in
about an hour.

Why don’t you just relax
and have a nice chatty evening
with Benjamin Franklin?

Benjamin Franklin?

That’s right.

(ALL CHUCKLING)

At the risk of your thinking
me a vain and
foolish old man,

can you tell me...
Has anything happened
to the...

To the innovations that I...
I began in Philadelphia?

Well, as you can see,
electricity has caught on
pretty well.

Oh, we showed him that
first thing.
Yes!

FRANKLIN: Oh, yes,
and I am delighted,
of course.

Although, I’m still very much
in the dark about light.

He hasn’t fixed the lamp yet,
you know.

Uh, when I was in
Philadelphia,

I began... I began
an experiment
of lending books

which I called
the public library.

Every city has one.
SAM: New York City alone
has over 50 branches.

Oh, Mr. Franklin,
so many of your inventions
have become household words,

well, it’s hard to tell you
how important they are.

The public library,
the fire department,

the rocking chair, bifocals.

Uh, (STAMMERS) Mr. Franklin,

uh, did you start
the fire engine?

I started the fire department,
madam, yes.

Oh.
Darrin!

I have a wonderful idea.

Instead of trying to tell
all of this to Mr. Franklin,
why don’t we show him?

Tomorrow, Aunt Clara and I
can take him on a tour
of the town.

Well, that’s a splendid idea,
madam.
Sam, no.

Oh.
(STAMMERS) Now, Darrin,

I think it would be
much simpler, you know.

Have you two taken leave
of your senses?

In case you’ve forgotten,
Mr. Franklin did not exactly
get here by bus!

But, Darrin, no one has
to know how he got here.
He could...

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Stay right where you are.
I’ll get that.

Darrin?
Larry!

LARRY: Am I too early?
DARRIN: Early? For what?

For anything.
I’m just dropping in.

T-tonight?
Yeah. How’d you guess?

Well, Larry,
as a matter of fact...
Still at dinner, huh?

That’s all right.
I’ll just have a drink
while you finish.

Hi, Larry.
My, it’s nice to see you.

You two finish dinner.
I know my way to the bar.

Darrin, why don’t you
have a drink with Larry?
I’ll clear off the table.

Well, the electricity comes
from outside, you know.

Isn’t that so, Samantha?

Oh, uh, Larry,
you know my Aunt Clara.

And this is Aunt Clara’s
friend, who’s a friend
of Aunt Clara’s.

Aunt Clara.

Uh, costume party.

We’re going
to a costume party.
Oh, Tate.

Larry Tate.
Costume party, huh?

Oh, wait a minute.
Don’t tell me. Let me guess.

Thomas Jefferson.

Uh, no, sir.
Mr. Jefferson was much taller.

My name is
Benjamin Franklin.
Of course.

I should have gotten it.
Those little square glasses.

Yes, they’re called bifocals.
I invented them, sir.

You see, one can look through
the top part or the bottom...

Hold it.
You’re not going
to any costume party.

We’re not?
Darrin, you sly dog.

No wonder you didn’t want to
let me in the door. You want
to spring it at the meeting.

What are you talking about?
Sam, you’ve got
a sneaky husband.

Oh? Oh.
LARRY: Brilliant, but sneaky.

We’ve been racking our brains
for just the right approach

to the Franklin Electronics
account.

You know, something socko,
original. And here it is.
Franklin himself!

I don’t believe
I understand, sir.

You wish me to lend my name
to a commercial venture?

Terrific, terrific.
Just the right quality.

Integrity, honesty.
Let’s hear some more.

And this time, sprinkle in
a few thees and thous.

You know,
for the old-world flavor.

Aunt Clara, why don’t you show
Mr. Franklin
how the telephone works?

Wonderful gadget,
the telephone.
Works by electricity.

Yes. Well,
just come this way.

Yes, uh, thank you.

Oh, come on, Darrin.
You don’t need to keep up
the act with me.

I’m convinced.
Just wait till Bernie Franklin
hears about this.

He’ll be tickled pink.
Larry, I don’t think
it’s such a hot idea.

It’s a question of...
(DOOR CLOSES)

Sam, they’re going outside!

Uh, Aunt Clara has a cold.
She can’t go out
without her sweater!

Abner, there’s something funny
going on over there!

Something funny "ha-ha,"
or something funny "you’re
seeing things again"?

(SCOFFS)
Mr. Franklin! Aunt Clara!

Don’t you think
we ought to go inside?

It’s getting a little chilly
out here.

Mrs. Stephens!
Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Stephens!

Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo!

That lady seems to be
hailing you, madam.
GLADYS: Yoo-hoo!

Mrs. Stephens.
Uh, Mrs. Stephens,

I wonder
whether I could borrow...

Hello! My name is Kravitz.

Gladys Kravitz.
Enchante, madame.
My name is...

Uh, Mrs. Kravitz,
you know my Aunt Clara.

They’re going
to a costume party.
Costume party?

How come she isn’t dressed?
Oh, but I am.
I’m going as a witch.

Uh, Mrs. Kravitz, what is it
you wanted to borrow?

Well, just a...
Mrs. Kravitz.
Good night, Sam.

Clara.
Oh, and good night, Ben.

You son of a gun.

Ben! Benjamin Franklin.
I was right. I was right.

Oh, Mrs. Kra...

Funny frog.
That’s a funny frog.
It’s a green frog.

You know what his name is?
Fergis?

Funny frog.
Fergis frog. How can you
talk with your hand... Yeah.

Well, for the guy who said,
"Early to bed,
early to rise

"makes a man healthy,
wealthy and wise,"
Mr. Franklin sure can sleep.

(CHUCKLES) If you just
traveled two centuries,
you’d be sleepy too.

Well, you better not
let him sleep too long.
You’ve got a lot to see.

And while you’re sightseeing,
keep trying to make
Aunt Clara

remember that spell
to send him back, please!

Don’t worry, darling.
And you call me every
half hour.

Shall we synchronize
our watches?
Mmm-mmm.

We are synchronized.
Oh!

See you tonight.
Bye, darling.

Bye-bye, Daddy.
(STAMMERS)
Samantha. Oh, Samantha.

Oh, he’s gone.
Mr. Franklin. He’s gone.

Oh, Aunt Clara, you mean
you remembered the spell?
Oh, no, no, no.

No, he’s gone.
He isn’t here.

(STAMMERS) What I mean to
say, he’s not here, but...

(CONTINUES STAMMERING)
There.

"Not wishing to be the source
of domestic discord,

(GASPS)
"I’ve decided to see
a bit of the city myself.

"With kindest regards,
B. Franklin."

Oh!
Oh, Aunt Clara,
that’s terrible!

It is.
I’ll get a baby-sitter.

Yes. Oh, dear.
Come on, Tabatha.

Well, there’s the electric
company, the phone company

and three fire stations,
and still no sign of him.

Oh, dear.
Don’t you think
you should phone Darrin?

Oh, no. No, no, Aunt Clara.
No sense in him worrying too.

I have an idea.
Let’s try the public library.

Come on, mister.
Let us in on the gag.
What are you advertising?

I’m merely waiting, sir,
for the library to open.

In those weirdo rags?

Which, by your sundial, sir,
should be in exactly
10 minutes.

Aw, come on, buddy boy.
Stop puttin’ us on.

What are you pitchin’, huh?
A new movie or somethin’?

Hey, I know. Shampoo.
(LAUGHING)

Aw, leave the old guy alone.
Oh, what’s buggin’ you,
buster? You got a gripe?

Young man, in the sense
that one may learn

a good deal about a man
by his clothing,

I am, in fact,
advertising myself,

in the same sense that you,
by your appearance,

proclaim what you are.

By your clothes and
countenance, I take you
to be advertising

dirt, slovenliness and
a dislike for soap and water.

Your demeanor proclaims your
insolence and your disrespect.

And by your speech, I suspect
that you are advertising

rudeness, vulgarity
and an ignorance
for the English language.

Good day, sir.
Hey, the old man
can take care of himself.

I’m from the Morning Gazette.
I wonder if I could ask you
a few questions.

Hello, Mr. Franklin.
My, I’m certainly glad
we found you.

You needn’t have bothered,
Mrs. Stephens.
SAM: Oh, no bother at all.

But I do think we should be
running along. We’ve got lots
of things to see.

Franklin, huh?

How long
has he been like this?
Oh, about 200 years.

Give or take a few.
Come along.

It’s marvelous,
simply marvelous.

What a contraption!
I should imagine
it’s very efficient too.

Oh, well, this one
must be at least 35 years old.

The ones they use now
are inside.

Would you like to inspect
this one further?
Oh, indeed I would!

Good. Well, I’ll be right
back. I just wanna
call Darrin.

Yes.

Larry, it’s just not
dignified. That’s all.

What could be more dignified
than a man playing
Benjamin Franklin

pitching transistor radios?

The Franklin Electronics
people were ecstatic.

You told them?
Of course!

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello.

Oh, hello, Sam.
How’s it going?

Don’t you worry, darling.
Everything is
going beautifully.

And Mr. Franklin
is very grateful to all of us.

And this machine operates
on the same principle

as these other conveyances
I see moving about?

Yes, yes,
you see, it’s automatic.

And there’s a button you press
to start it.

Oh, yes.
This button here?

(ENGINE STARTS)
(GASPS)
Oh, dear! Oh, dear!

Well,
this is very exciting,
but how does one turn it off?

(STAMMERING)
If you... What?

Well, um, don’t you think
you’ve seen enough?

Don’t forget. Aunt Clara
has some memory work to do
this afternoon.

I seem to be moving.
Where’s the braking device?
(STAMMERS) The pedal.

Press the pedal!

(YELLING)
(SIREN WAILING)

Oh, there must be
a spell for this.
There must be a spell!

Mr. Franklin, come back!

(CAR HORNS HONKING)

Oh, oh!
Listen! Oh!

(GIGGLES) We’ll be home
in about an hour.
(HORNS HONKING)

S-s-Samantha!
Oh, Samantha!

(STAMMERS)
The fire engine!

Well, what happened,
Aunt Clara?

(STAMMERS) He...
I’m telling you.
What?

Oh! Oh, my goodness!
Oh, my goodness.

Sam? Sam?

Oh! Oh!

Uh, Aunt Clara,
Aunt Clara, go home.

And, please,
try and remember that spell.

Yes, yes. (STAMMERS)
I will. I will, I will.

(GASPS)

Mr. Franklin? Mr. Franklin,
are you all right?

Right this way, lady.

I, uh... I am unhurt, madam.
Hey, mister,
where’s the fire?

Oh, um, Officer,
I’m Samantha Stephens.

And I’m sure
I can explain everything.
Well, fine.

Why don’t you do it
down at the station house?

This gentleman,
whoever he is,
is under arrest.

Right this way, sir.

What a story!
"Ben Franklin steals
fire engine."

Aunt Clara,
now you remember that spell.

Right? You’ll remember
that spell at once.

Right. Oh.

What spell?

What you’re supposed
to remember.

Oh, dear.
I’m the dumbest witch of all.

Oh.

This has all the trappings
of some kind of
publicity stunt.

The idea that a name
like Benjamin Franklin

should be involved
in this kind of proceeding.

As to whether the name
Benjamin Franklin
is involved or not,

Your Honor, I believe
I’m the best judge of that.

(SCOFFS)

The charge is grand theft,
and bail is set at $1,000.

I’ll, uh, put up bail,
Your Honor.

Your Honor, could you tell us
when the trial will be?

Oh, in about four weeks.
Four weeks!

Um... Your Honor,
due to the advanced age
of the defendant,

couldn’t we have the trial
a little sooner?

How old are you?
Two hundred and sixty.

Four weeks.
You can pay the clerk.

We... We should have
protested more vigorously.

The Constitution guarantees
to every citizen the right
to a speedy trial.

Oh, don’t you worry,
Mr. Franklin.
You won’t have to stand trial.

Oh, wait a minute, Sam.
We can’t send him back now.

If he doesn’t appear
in court in four weeks,
I’ll lose $1,000.

I understand, of course.

Abner, Ben Franklin!

There he is!
Come quick! Come quick!

Although it grieves me
to impose upon your
hospitality this way.

We’re delighted to have you.
As long as you don’t cause
any more trouble.

Where is he? Mr. Franklin?
Mr. Franklin!
Oh, no!

Ben Franklin?
Where’s Ben Franklin?

(GASPS) He...
He was... He was...

(SCREAMS)

Oh, I remembered!
I remembered!

Aunt Clara, Aunt Clara,
you’ve got to bring him back,

or we’re out $1,000!

(STAMMERING)
What?

Now she remembers.
