sweet little clues around the city

would be of such interest.

Darling, I didn't know there
were any speed limits
90
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,360
don't surely apply to
people as posh as me.
91
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,960
They apply to everyone.
92
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,200
And don't think we won't look into
all those jewels came from.
93

My daddy gave me them, of course.

We're young, we're rich.
There's no war on.

And it's a wild party.
113

Of course I am.

It's 1920s. Rules don't exist.
117
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,480
At least, not for us rich youngsters.
118
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,160
We can wear whatever we want.
119
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,200
There you go.
It's a cowboy party, after all.
120
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,560
Then, what has he come as?
Oh, don't mind him.
121
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,280
That's Viscount Chiddingly-Ripe.
122
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:03,640
He just hasn't gone home
123
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,400

The '20s are a time of
exploration and discovery.
130
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,480
British archaeologist Howard Carter
131
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,280
has found and opened the tomb
of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
132
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,760
It's full of wonderful treasures,
133
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,800
but also contains
a powerful, deadly curse
134
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,480
that strikes all those who go
inside.
135
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,200
Or, at least,
that's what some people think.

WOMAN: What's that, darling?
145
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,520
Not you, Mummy.
146
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,760
In 1923, Howard Carter,
his financial backer Lord Carnarvon,
147
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,600
and Carnarvon's daughter Evelyn
148
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,240
entered the tomb
of Pharaoh Tutankhamun,
149
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,640
unleashing
the Curse of the Mummy!
150
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,640
(FARTING)
151
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,720
Oh! Someone's unleashed
something in here.
152
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,840
Well, it certainly wasn't me.
153
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,520
Carnarvon!
Ugh. Daddy!
154
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,880
MAN: After they entered
the mummy's tomb,
155
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,960
the curse claimed its first victim,
right outside Howard Carter's house.
156
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,360
(SCREAMING, DRAMATIC FANFARE)
157
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,400
A dead canary.
158
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,160
Coincidence? Hah!
159
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,800
Carter's canary
was eaten by a snake,
160
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,680
and a cobra
is the sign of the pharaoh.
161
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,800
Of course,
it's actually pretty common
162
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,000
for snakes to eat birds,
163
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,760
so it's hardly conclusive proof.
164
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:58,920
Conclusive proof there.
165
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:06,760
Shortly after, the mummy's curse
claimed its first human victim.
166
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,920
MOTHER: Artie, want a cup of tea?
167
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,520
Not now, Mummy. I said...
168
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, though, please.
169
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,480
And some bikkies. Thank you.
170
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,720
Two months after the tomb
was opened,
171
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,600
my father, Lord Carnarvon,
who funded the dig, sadly died.
172
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,720
They say his death was mysterious,
but we all know what happened.
173
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,600
He was bitten by a mosquito
and died of the infection.
174
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Plus, he was a sick old man who
ignored all of his doctor's advice.
175
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,480
Personally, I don't think
the Curse of the Mummy
176
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,840
had anything to do with it.
177
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,840
The mummy's curse had struck again.
178
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,040
But he wasn't the only victim.
179
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,840
My own friend,
Bertram Fletcher Robinson
180
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,280
died, just three...
181
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,600
..years after writing about a mummy.
182
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,680
The curse was spreading!
183
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Who would be next?
184
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,680
Next time on Ghosts Definitely Exist
185
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,200
with me, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
186
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,400
more on my investigation.
187
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,160
We talk to the man
at the centre of the curse,
188
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,000
Egypt expert Howard Carter.
189
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,760
58 people entered the tomb,
190
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,280
and only 12 of those died
over the next ten years.
191
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,040
Many of them were either
already ill or pretty old.
192
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,000
I was one of the first people
in the tomb, and I'm fine.
193
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
The curse is utter rubbish.
194
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,440
La, la, la, la, la! Not listening!
195
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,080
I guess we won't be
talking to him after all.
196
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,000
See you next time.
197
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,760
Unless the Curse of the Mummy
strikes.
198
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,920
(EERIE WAIL)

00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,240
MOTHER: Darling, I'm popping out.
200
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,360
OK, Mummy. good.
201
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,480
Don't forget the eggs.

VOICEOVER: This summer,
203
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,720
the Roaring '20s
become the Exploring '20s
204
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,840
in a true story of
courage, adventure,
205
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,200
and an almost ridiculous
disregard for safety
206
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,920
in Transatlantic!
207
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,560
Don't worry about the plane, guys.
It'll be fine.
208
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:04,080
Oh. Um...
209
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,720
(SIGHS)
210
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,240
(GRUNTS AND GROANS) Yeah. Wait. Uh...
211
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,720
Lindbergh,
212
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,280
you're trying the impossible.
Meh.
213
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,640
Lindbergh will be attempting
to fly solo
214
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,760
non-stop across the Atlantic
from New York to Paris.
215
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,560
Any malfunction will
lead to almost certain disaster.
216
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:23,200
Yeah, but they'll give me $25,000
when I make it.
217
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,160
IF you make it. At least take
a parachute and a radio.
218
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,960
They'll weigh me down. Don't worry!
219
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,120
I practised for over an hour.
220
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,440
The flight takes 33 hours!
221
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,440
You need some safety equipment.
222
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,720
I KNOW that!
223
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,640
I've got five sandwiches
224
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,840
and some cotton wool to
block out the sound of the engine.
225
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,080
Ooh, it's loud!
226
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,480
Charles Lindbergh flies
the Spirit of St Louis
227
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,520
in Transatlantic.
228
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:46,840
Why did you say?
229
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,560
And, after 24 hours of
the journey across the ocean,
230
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:51,760
Lindbergh will face
his darkest moment.
231
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,200
Oh, no. Wee-wee can's full!
232
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,400
(WHISTLES NONCHALANTLY)
233
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,360
MAN: (FRENCH ACCENT) Sacre
bleu! It is raining pee-pee!
234
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,000
(CRASH!)
Ouch!
235
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,560
Must be over France.
Now, where's Paris?
236
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:03,720
Oh! Um...
237
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,320
But, with courage and determination,
238
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,040
finally, Paris airport
will be within his grasp.
239
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,560
And he won't notice.
240
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:11,360
He'll just fly right by it.
241
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,120
But after 33.5 hours,
a man will land and become a legend.
242
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,280
(CHEERING)
243
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,320
I've got his hat!
244
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,080
And another man will steal his hat,
245
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,320
causing people to mistakenly think
he is the legend.
246
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,400
Uh, hello?
247
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,320
WOMAN: Bienvenue!
Hey, guys! I'm Lindbergh. Me!
248
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,520
Charles Lindbergh in Transatlantic,
249
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,760
because when you've got sandwiches
and a tin to wee in,
250
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,440
the sky's the limit.
251
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,120
OK, give me some privacy.
I need to pee again.
252
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,600
WOMAN: Recording, Louis.
253
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,080
Hi.
254
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,920
I'm Louis Armstrong.
255
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,400
I rose to fame in the 1920s,
256
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,800
becoming one of
the world's most influential
257
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,760
jazz singers and musicians.
258
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,640
(LAUGHS) But even the best
make mistakes.
259
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,960
During one recording,
I dropped my music.
260
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,880
But tell me, what did I do next?
261
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,680
Did I:
262
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,920
(LAUGHS) The answer is
263
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,160
C - I made stuff up.
264
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,200
(SCATS)
265
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,600
(LAUGHS) We call that 'scat'
in the clubs.
266
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,640
That was amazing!
267
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,920
This is going to be
the first mainstream record
268
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,080
ever to contain scatting.
269
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,880
Oh, you don't want me to sing it
again with the right words?
270
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,440
No! No way.
271
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,760
This is going to
change music forever.
272
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,480
Soon everybody's
going to be doing it.
273
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,880
# A scree! A flap! A doodly-wah!
274
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720
# A-we-gah, doody,
it's a quarter to flap! #
275
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,760
(LAUGHS) Yeah, well,
hopefully not everybody.
276
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,480
The Roaring '20s are amazing!
277
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,280
But, let's be honest,
they're not roaring for everyone.
278
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,680
In fact, for some people,
things stink.
279
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:01,240
And not in a good way,
like a cow plop,
280
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,040
or a rotten old fish. Mm. Yum.
281
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,960
Poor people are having to live in
282
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,680
overcrowded, unsafe,
rundown houses called slums,
283
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:11,680
which are pretty miserable.
284
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:15,200
Even I wouldn't want to live there,
and I live in a sewer.
285
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,120
Hello, I'm Phil.
286
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,440
And I'm fabulous.
287
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,960
And our couple today,
Steve and Jo from Surrey,
288
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,080
want to buy a home in East London.
289
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,360
But I can tell,
just by looking at their clothes,
290
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,840
that they'll never be able
to afford a home in MODERN London.
291
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,520
So we're here in the 1920s.
292
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,720
Welcome to...
293
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,520
BOTH: Historical
Location, Location, Location.
294
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,120
Don't do it with us, please.
295
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,640
So for value for money,
296
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,480
we're going to be looking at
a so-called rookery.
297
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,440
A charming name for a slum
in 1920s east London.
298
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,200
Yeah, well,
I suppose it's got character.
299
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,120
Yes. Try not to
get any of it on your shoes.
300
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,640
Ah, yeah. You weren't lying,
you know?
301
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,760
Come on, Steve.
Yeah. I'm coming, I'm coming.
302
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,760
So, as you can see,
303
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,200
the room comes with both a tin bath
304
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,720
and a rather handsome
original feature.
305
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,520
Easy, tiger!
306
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,320
So you're my new housemates?
307
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,240
Uh, no. We were thinking of buying
the house for just us to live in.
308
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,560
(LAUGHS) Unlikely,
here in the slums, Jo.
309
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:18,280
Many houses are overcrowded.
310
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,680
But the good news is
he's included in the price.
311
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:22,840
But what's the Wi-Fi like?
312
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,440
The wifey?
She's dead, unfortunately.
313
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,520
So she's not included.
Sorry.
314
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,000
Could we just draw attention
315
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,960
to the freestanding,
totally mobile bath?
316
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,720
You mean the tin can
with the naked man in?
317
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,800
It's a big selling point. You can
move it anywhere in the house
318
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,800
and enjoy a bath
wherever you like in your property.
319
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,960
Once you've filled it up
from the only tap in the street
320
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,120
and then warm the water through
on the fire.
321
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,800
So there isn't a bathroom.
322
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,800
Oh, there's actually
no plumbing at all.
323
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,200
Or another way of looking at it -
every room is a bathroom.
324
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,000
So hold on. Where'd you go
to the toilet, then?
325
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
I'm actually really glad
you asked that.
326
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,440
No-one wants to use his bath water
after I'm done with it, do you?
327
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,680
No, thank you. Ah, perfect.
328
00:13:57,680 --> 00:13:59,520
(BUBBLING)
329
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,800
That's another method
of warming the water up.
330
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,640
Hang on. (BUBBLING)
331
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,280
So, guys, is it your dream home?
332
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,080
Absolutely not.
Well...
333
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,400
Alright, well,
I'll see you out, then.
334
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,160
Whoa, whoa, wait, wait!
Nope. No.
335
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Please, can we go?
336
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,720
Nope. Well, there's one original
feature I didn't need to see.
337
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,160
Ugh.
338
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,520
(CHURCH BELLS PEAL)
Congratulations, Rosemary, I guess.
339
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,000
(BURPS AND FARTS)
340
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,080
I know! Finally, I'm married.
341
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,760
Would you look at my Nigel?
(CONTINUES FARTING)
342
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,720
Ah! Sorry to take one of the last
eligible men in the village.
343
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,080
I'm sure I'll cope.
344
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,120
No, you've got to be quick, Belinda,
345
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,680
because there are many more women
than men these days.
346
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,000
Some women are trying to
steal other people's husbands.
347
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,880
I mean, look at that lot!
348
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,680
Can't keep their eyes off him.
349

00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,640
Ah! So this is a Hollywood bash,
is it? (LAUGHS) Yes.
518
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,800
(GASPS) Oh, my goodness!
519
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,760
Excuse me. You're Charlie Chaplin,
aren't you?
520
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,240
The amazing comedy actor?
521
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,000
(LAUGHS) I'm Winston Churchill,
522
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,320
and I'm a deep admirer
of all of your films.
523
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,160
You're clowning ability
is beyond compare.
524
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,320
Mr Chaplin, you wouldn't do me
the honour, the privilege
525
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,720
of perhaps doing one of your funny
bits, or an impression of some sort.
526
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,920
Sure. Why not?
527
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,800
See if you can guess who this is.
Um...
528
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:39,960
Ah!
529
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,360
Uh, uh, uh... Queen Victoria!
Einstein! Greta Garbo.
530
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:47,800
No, it's Nap...
Napoleon! Yes, yes.
531
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,360
The very next thing I was going to
say. Took the words out of my mouth.
532
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:53,520
Do it again, Mr Chaplin, please.
533
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,400
OK. Right.
534
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,560
(LAUGHS)
535
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,760
Do it again! Do it again!
536
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,040
Mr Churchill, please!
It's 3:00 in the morning.
537
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,280
No more Napoleon.
538
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,720
It's such a good impression.
539
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,440
I insist that you play Napoleon
in your next film.
540
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,400
We'll see.
I don't have a script, so...
541
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,960
Oh, Mr Chaplin, never fear.
I shall write your script.
542
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,480
So, we open on Napoleon
and he's in a rage.
543
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,440
You can do your famous funny walk
like that.
544
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,240
Yes. It's perfect! And he's hungry.
545
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,720
All he has to eat is a shoe,
546
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,840
like you ate your shoe in your
hilarious film, The Gold Rush.
547
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,520
Ah! Ah, hah!
Oh! What are you doing?
548
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,160
That was a fake shoe,
made of liquorice, for the film.
549
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,120
I'm really sorry.
It's getting very late,
550
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:36,840
so I'm going...
Oh, don't worry.
551
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,600
I've got all night.
Oh, good. Lucky me.
552
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,720
So, Napoleon is in his bathtub.
553
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,320
Just think of
the comic possibilities!
554
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,640
So he's there,
and he's arguing with his brother.
555
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:53,160
And then Napoleon splashes water
all over his brother's clothes.
556
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,320
It's action, it's fun! (LAUGHS)
557
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,880
Exactly! That's exactly the thing.
558
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,680
Wonderful! Wonderful slapstick.
Do it again.
559
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,600
Mr Churchill, you acting
like a complete clown!
560
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,160
That...
561
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,360
..means the world, coming from you.
562
00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:12,600
Oh! (SNIFFLES)
563
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,680
You have made my year, Mr Chaplin.
564
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,360
Hi, there.
I'm 1920s legend Gertrude Stein.
565
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:25,440
and I spent much of my time
in Paris with my wife, Alice Toklas.
566
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,960
Hi, there.
Eyes on the road.
567
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,440
You know, I like nothing better
than being driven around the city.
568
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,640
But what surprising thing
did I like to do in the car?
569
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,720
Was it:
570
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,160
The answer is C,
571
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,040
doing impressions of Joan of Arc.
572
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,840
(FRENCH ACCENT) Ouch, ouch!
My French bottom is on fire!
573
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,480
Oh, quit kidding around
and tell them the real answer.
574
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,680
OK! The real answer is
575
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,560
B! I did some of my best writing
in the car.
576
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,400
The sights and sounds
of the Parisian streets
577
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,600
inspired me to come up with
some of my best ideas.
578

579
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,080
Sometimes you could even read them.
580
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,760
Eyes on the road!
Sorry!
581
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,520
Paris is one of the most
exciting places to live in the 1920s.
582
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,560
It's jam-packed
with artists and writers
583
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,000
like Gertrude Stein,
Ernest Hemingway
584
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,400
and F Scott Fitzgerald.
585
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,560
Together, they're known as
the Lost Generation.
586
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,600
