:05:16
- Never,
- Of course I can, I'm older,
:05:18
You 're not older,
We were born on the same night,
:05:21
Yeah, I was born one minute to midnight
and you weren't born till one minute after,
:05:26
- You see?
- I won't always be younger than you,
:05:34
- Hey, Mr, Crosetti,
- Hello, boys,
:05:37
- Hello, Mr, Tetley,
- ('horn honks.)
:05:46
Don't be messin' up my work,
Come on, I'll race ya,,,
:05:49
Hellfire storm's a-comin',
An electric storm,
:05:53
To clean your streets
and wash away your troubles,
:05:55
- So buy one of these lightning rods,,,
- Tie!
:05:58
Some folks need special protection,
:06:01
I can sniff out
which of your old homes is in danger,
:06:04
Some folks draw lightning to 'em
as a cat sucks in a baby's breath,
:06:14
But I suppose that this is
really the story of my father,
:06:18
and that strange, leaf-whispery autumn,
:06:21
when his heart was suddenly
too old and tired
:06:25
and too full of yearning and regrets,
:06:28
and he didn't know what to do about it.
:06:32
- Hello, son,
- You saw me,
:06:36
Well, what can I find you
that'll keep you awake all night?
:06:38
Let's see, Travelers to the North Pole?
Wild West. Zane Grey, huh?
:06:43
- I don't think so, Dad,
- Well, I thought all boys liked adventure,
:06:47
- I don't know, Do all fathers?
- ('Jim.) Mine sure does,
:06:51
He's in Africa right now,
The Gold Coast of Africa,
:06:54
But he's coming back real soon,
and he's bringing me a present,
