[ chattering ]
340
00:18:34,678 --> 00:18:36,289
Down here?I got it.
341
00:18:42,382 --> 00:18:44,427
I'’m ready here.
How about you?
342
00:18:44,471 --> 00:18:47,256
We'’re all set here. All right.
Gonna take her away.
343
00:18:52,043 --> 00:18:53,132
[ thunderclap ]
344
00:18:56,178 --> 00:18:58,180
[ engine revving ]
345
00:18:59,921 --> 00:19:01,314
Back up! Back up!
346
00:19:04,186 --> 00:19:07,189
[ all shouting ]
347
00:19:13,456 --> 00:19:15,980
[ shouting continues ]
348
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,648
Oh, that'’s doing it!
349
00:19:31,692 --> 00:19:33,868
Oh, Pa, it'’s coming in
to shore.
350
00:19:33,911 --> 00:19:36,087
[ chattering ] [ thunderclap ]
351
00:19:41,397 --> 00:19:43,051
There'’s so many
heroes among us,
352
00:19:43,094 --> 00:19:46,185
I can'’t pay them all
individual tribute, but--
353
00:19:46,228 --> 00:19:48,970
You done all right
yourself, John.
[ chuckles ]
354
00:19:49,013 --> 00:19:50,972
But I guess
we'’d all agree
355
00:19:51,015 --> 00:19:53,279
if it hadn'’t been
for Porphyry Smith
and his--
356
00:19:53,322 --> 00:19:55,411
his automobile,
357
00:19:55,455 --> 00:19:57,848
we might'’ve suffered
real loss of life
in this flood.
358
00:19:57,892 --> 00:19:59,328
That'’s right.
359
00:19:59,372 --> 00:20:02,723
And to show that
we really mean it,
360
00:20:02,766 --> 00:20:05,334
we want to present
you with this medal.
361
00:20:05,378 --> 00:20:08,076
[ chuckling ]
Well, thank you.
362
00:20:09,730 --> 00:20:12,211
Oh, I'’m so proud
of you, Pa.
363
00:20:12,254 --> 00:20:13,690
[ laughing ]
364
00:20:13,734 --> 00:20:15,779
[ men shouting ]
365
00:20:39,716 --> 00:20:41,196
I beg your pardon.
366
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,067
I'’m sorry to bother
you at this time,
367
00:20:43,111 --> 00:20:45,679
but I was wondering
if you could give me
some water for my car?
368
00:20:45,722 --> 00:20:47,768
The radiator'’s nearly dry.
369
00:20:47,811 --> 00:20:49,683
You got a car?
370
00:20:49,726 --> 00:20:51,728
Yes, it'’s at the bottom
of the hill.
371
00:20:51,772 --> 00:20:53,730
I didn'’t know whether
I could make it.
372
00:20:53,774 --> 00:20:56,864
Well, I declare.
'’Course you can have some water.
373
00:20:56,907 --> 00:20:59,736
It'’s kind of--
kind of scarce out here,
374
00:20:59,780 --> 00:21:03,044
but we'’re always willing
to do a favor, you know.
375
00:21:03,087 --> 00:21:05,002
You'’re very kind.
376
00:21:05,046 --> 00:21:07,875
I hesitated to stop
under the circumstances.
377
00:21:07,918 --> 00:21:09,659
Knowing the trouble
you'’re in.
378
00:21:09,703 --> 00:21:11,313
What give you that idea?
379
00:21:11,357 --> 00:21:15,274
Why, the hearse.
380
00:21:15,317 --> 00:21:16,971
"The hearse"?
381
00:21:17,014 --> 00:21:18,929
[ chuckling ]
Oh. Well, that'’s my auto.
382
00:21:21,062 --> 00:21:23,847
Oh, I see.
I didn'’t realize.
383
00:21:27,068 --> 00:21:30,201
Well, I always thought
that hearses was black.
384
00:21:30,245 --> 00:21:33,901
Not always. They have
white hearses for children.
385
00:21:33,944 --> 00:21:37,383
Well, where I'’ve always
lived on the desert,
386
00:21:37,426 --> 00:21:41,343
they take their folks
to the burying ground
in a wagon.
387
00:21:41,387 --> 00:21:43,214
I'’ve never--
388
00:21:43,258 --> 00:21:47,001
I'’ve never seen a hearse
in my life until...
389
00:22:22,210 --> 00:22:23,864
[ engine idling ]
390
00:22:36,703 --> 00:22:38,357
[ engine continues idling ]
391
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,315
[ honks ]
392
00:23:23,227 --> 00:23:26,013
Porphyry, I didn'’t
hear you drive up.
393
00:23:26,056 --> 00:23:29,016
I was afoot.Afoot?
394
00:23:29,059 --> 00:23:31,018
Something happen
to the car?
395
00:23:31,061 --> 00:23:34,021
It'’s gone.Gone?
396
00:23:34,064 --> 00:23:36,153
Skidded off the road
into a canyon.
397
00:23:36,197 --> 00:23:39,069
[ gasps ]
Oh, Pa!
398
00:23:39,113 --> 00:23:42,246
I'’m all right, though.Oh, thank goodness for that.
399
00:23:42,290 --> 00:23:46,033
The only thing I regret is that
that fella in Los Angeles
400
00:23:46,076 --> 00:23:48,165
that sold it to me
wasn'’t in it.
401
00:23:48,209 --> 00:23:52,692
I'’ve been the laughingstock
of this whole desert
with that car.
402
00:23:52,735 --> 00:23:54,433
No, you haven'’t.
403
00:23:56,043 --> 00:23:58,872
I feel-- I feel
so ashamed, Tildy,
404
00:23:58,915 --> 00:24:01,875
that I don'’t know
how to tell you.
405
00:24:01,918 --> 00:24:04,443
You don'’t need to, honey.
I'’ve known all along.
406
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:09,404
You knew that car
was a-- a--
407
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:11,885
From the very beginning,
when you brung it home.
408
00:24:11,928 --> 00:24:15,889
And you never told me? Why?
409
00:24:15,932 --> 00:24:18,979
Because you were doing it
for me, Pa, and I love you.
410
00:24:20,241 --> 00:24:21,677
Oh, Tildy.
411
00:24:24,375 --> 00:24:25,855
[ sniffling ]
412
00:24:25,899 --> 00:24:28,292
Where, uh--
Where'’s my matches?
413
00:24:34,385 --> 00:24:36,736
Comfortable?
414
00:24:36,779 --> 00:24:38,738
I don'’t know how
I ever got along
415
00:24:38,781 --> 00:24:42,393
without a veil and duster
to protect me.
416
00:24:42,437 --> 00:24:45,832
There'’s something
mighty friendly about
a horse, ain'’t there?
417
00:24:45,875 --> 00:24:47,703
Mighty.
418
00:24:50,053 --> 00:24:51,838
Well, folks, that'’s it.
419
00:24:51,881 --> 00:24:54,188
The brief,
but spectacular career
420
00:24:54,231 --> 00:24:56,973
of the first automobile
in the Mojave Desert.
