This is my Masked Avenger
secret compartment ring.

:11:03
It's very special to me.
:11:05
Now basically,
I was an honest kid.

:11:07
But there are some things
in life...

:11:09
that are just too compelling.
:11:11
That afternoon at Hebrew school,
a scheme occurred to me.

:11:15
Next week, we are going
to issue collection boxes...

:11:21
and each of you will be
asked to go out in the street...

:11:26
and collect funds
for the promotion...

:11:29
of a new state in Palestine.
:11:33
Hey, can you give
to the Jewish National Fund...

:11:34
and help us build a homeland
in Palestine? Please? No?

:11:37
Hey, how about you?
:11:38
Can you give to
the Jewish National Fund?

:11:40
Can you help us? Anything?
:11:41
Hey, how about--
:11:43
Can you? Can you? No? Oh.
:11:45
Give to
the Jewish National Fund?

:11:47
Hey, can you give us--
Hey, excuse me.

:11:49
Can you--give it to me,
please. Thank you.

:11:54
Guys, we got enough here
to get Masked Avenger rings...

:11:56
and an ice-cream soda.
:11:58
We gotta leave some
for Palestine.

:11:59
Why should we leave anything
for Palestine?

:12:01
It's all the way over in Egypt.
:12:02
It's a sin. What if
the rabbi catches us?

:12:04
Hey, they'll never find out.
Besides, I can handle him.

:12:07
You sure?
:12:08
Positive.
:12:09
Dimes! I got 4 dimes!
:12:12
Monies for
our Jewish homeland...

:12:16
used to buy this
"masked adventure" ring?!

:12:19
My heart is full of grief.
:12:21
It swells with anguish!
:12:23
He'll pay back every cent.
:12:25
-Yup.
-Shut up.

:12:26
I don't know what to do, Rabbi.
:12:28
Every night,
he listens to the radio.

:12:30
I can't keep him away.
:12:31
I say, "Go to the beach.
:12:33
"Play in the sun.
Get some fresh air."

:12:35
No. "The Lone Ranger,"
"The Shadow,"...

:12:38
"The Masked Avenger."
:12:39
This is not good.
This boy needs discipline.

:12:42
Radio, it's all right
once in a while.

:12:45
Otherwise, it tends
to induce bad values...

:12:49
false dreams, lazy habits.
:12:53
Listening to the radio...
:12:54
these stories
of foolishness and violence...

:12:56
this is no way
for a boy to grow up!

:12:59
You speak the truth,
my faithful Indian companion.
