[Music]

goodnight mom

good night good night gramps where's

last night outside

yeah

come here

sit down

[Music]

jack there has to be an end to this you

cannot keep punishing lassie for

something that you think she did

who else could have done it you didn't

and gramps didn't

all right

all right let's assume that that she did

take the stamp album is that such a

terrible crime

now just a minute

if she did take it and hide it

don't you think she had a good reason

what reason what reason could she have

i'll tell you

the same reason that makes it necessary

for you to belong to someone

to be wanted and needed

i just suppose that that gramps and i

had found that stamp album instead of

you in porky

and we were huddled over it when you

came along

and we told you not to bother us to go

outside

you'd feel that that you weren't wanted

with you

and you'd hate that stamp album

and you would probably do it exactly as

lassie did

try to get rid of it

but there's a hundred dollar stamp in it

you've been to that before

what happened 100 is a lot of money

[Music]

jeff

since when has money become so important

to you

well it's not just me

but it's porky too we're halvesies

all right

all right honey she's she's your dog

you do what you think is best

but try to remember what i said about

about being wanted and needed

goodnight gramps goodnight son

[Music]

my

[Music]

the same reason that makes it necessary

for you to belong to someone

should be wanted and needed

wanted and needed wanted and needed

wanted and needed

[Music]

oh

[Music]

what was that sounded like a rifle shot

i say

well who'd be shooting at this time of

night

i don't know

lassie

[Music]

i heard a shot lassie not out there no

it's us

hello oh yeah

what

oh no

well what was she doing out there

are you sure it was her

who is it

right

well

thanks ed

we'll have a look around

now don't get excited

ed's not sure what are you talking about

lassie she was in ed's barn nosing

around that load of alfalfa

[Music]

edd part of red fox was after his

bullets and took a shot at her

he ain't sure he hit her

she got away

[Music]

it's all my fault

don't be stamp album

[Music]

lassie

[Applause]

lassie

[Music]

she all right i think so better call in

he'll be worried

[Music]

george miller

fine fine thanks jenny

she get me ed higgins will you

[Music]

you see the reason she couldn't find it

right away was because she hid it in a

lot of alfalfa and ned higgins took the

alfalfa away

she sure is smart smarter than us we

thought we had a stamp with a hundred

dollars so it turns out to be only worth

25 cents

because it's the wrong color

[Music]

hey coming out leave her alone porky

she's just trying to help there's one

thing you gotta understand about people

and dogs they gotta belong they gotta

feel wanted and needed

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you
