:43:00
and about time he learned to drive it.
:43:02
- Now don't you think so, Roy?
- I'll do my best.
:43:04
ADAM: Now pay strict attention, boys.
:43:06
[Horn honking]
:43:07
ROY: Don't touch that!
:43:09
ROY: Wait till it's explained to you.
:43:10
ADAM: No, now for heaven's sake,
don't touch anything, anybody.
:43:14
The power of the explosion
is exerted on a piston...
:43:17
and through connecting rod
and crankshaft...
:43:21
through transmission,
thence to rear wheels.
:43:25
ROY: Got that so far?
WlLL: Sure, he's got that.
:43:28
Now, we go on
to the operation of the automobile.
:43:32
This here's the ignition key.
:43:35
ROY: Would you mind putting out
that cigarette, please.
:43:38
Turn this doohickey here to the left.
That puts her on battery.
:43:41
- See where it says "bat"?
- Yes.
:43:43
ADAM: Bat, short for battery.
ROY: That's right. Good boy.
:43:47
Thank you. Thank you very much.
:43:48
First you gotta retard the spark.
:43:50
If you don't retard the spark,
she'll probably kick your blasted arm off.
:43:54
Now remember that.
:43:56
This here is the spark.
:43:57
You push her way up. Listen.
:44:02
- This here's the gas. You push her...
- Down.
:44:06
- You had lessons before.
- No, I just saw you do it.
:44:10
ROY: You're a smart old buzzard.
ADAM: Thank you very much.
:44:13
- Keep your eyes open, don't you?
- Try to.
:44:16
Now, this here is the crank.
:44:18
See this wire sticking out of the radiator?
That's the choke.
:44:21
Now watch careful.
Grab hold of the crank like this.
:44:24
Push in till she catches.
:44:26
See how my thumb is turned down?
:44:27
I noticed that. Why do you do that?
:44:29
If you put her around this way
with my thumb around her...
:44:32
she'd probably knock
my blasted thumb off.
:44:34
Dear, dear. First you lose your blasted arm
and then you lose your blasted thumb.
:44:38
ADAM: That's wrong way around.
ROY: How's that?
:44:40
He made a joke.
I never did see him so happy.
:44:44
You pull out this choke
turn her around to suck gas in.
:44:48
Then you give her a hard spin.
:44:50
ROY: She caught, first time!
ADAM: Caught on what?
:44:54
ROY: Advance the spark and retard the gas.
:44:56
Reach over real quick and switch
to mag. That's magneto.
:44:59
So, there you are.
