:27:02
I can see you on the flyer now.
:27:04
Here we go. Yes, sir,
you're part of a locomotive already.
:27:12
- I tell you, it's a menace.
- When do you think I'll get some money?
:27:16
Oh, I don't know. These things take time.
:27:18
George, I wish you would be definite,
just once.
:27:21
The law is always definite.
It's people that aren't.
:27:23
That boy of yours
certainly knows his engines.
:27:26
- I sure do, I know every part.
- You do? Bully for you.
:27:30
Hey, that's what Teddy told Uncle Otis.
:27:33
- Teddy who?
- Teddy Roosevelt.
:27:34
I took him from Boston to Bangor
in six hours.
:27:37
You can't call him Teddy. Mr. Roosevelt
was President of the United States.
:27:40
Yeah, a Cub Scout is always respectful.
:27:42
- I'm sorry.
- That's all right. Come here.
:27:44
I'm gonna petition
the National Scout Council...
:27:46
to see if they'll admit railroading
as a Silver Arrow elective.
:27:49
- That'll be cool.
- Boy, isn't that swell?
:27:52
I'd better go home and fix supper.
Come on, kids.
:27:55
- Can I stay a little longer?
- I'll watch the boy.
:27:58
You wanna stay more than he does,
don't you?
:28:00
Maybe I do, at that.
:28:02
Okay, sweetheart, don't be late. Bye.
:28:04
Let's have a dry run, Uncle Otis.
:28:06
- Are you coming?
- Yeah.
:28:09
Jane Osgood, you should have given me
this story last night.
:28:12
It's true, huh? It must be.
Here's 97 and you in it.
:28:15
We'll give a party, a masquerade
and I'll come as a conductor.
:28:18
Listen, I want the facts.
From the beginning. Shoot.
:28:21
We don't want any publicity.
We just want to get this thing settled.
:28:24
Why don't you run back
behind the switchboard?
:28:26
Because I'm a newspaperman first,
that's why...
:28:28
and Clarence is very efficient.
:28:30
One more scoop like that two-headed calf
over in High River...
:28:33
and I know the Mirror will put me on steady.
:28:35
Look, Matilda. It's really very simple.
We sued the E&P, we won...
:28:38
and they wouldn't pay.
:28:40
Yeah, and they're appealing,
which is their right.
:28:42
- So I took their train.
- You levied execution.
:28:44
- That's what I did.
- The bums, serves them right.
:28:46
- Go on, Janey.
- That's the whole story.
:28:48
- What will you do with old 97?
- Good question.
:28:50
I'm gonna make them pay, Matilda.
:28:52
Good girl. Give it to them.
Boy, this ought to put me on straight salary.
