2
00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:36,050
- Well, hello, Mrs. Post.
- Hi. Mr. Reeves.

3
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:37,886
Oh, Mr. Reeves.

4
00:00:37,955 --> 00:00:39,599
Oh, darling, isn't it beautiful?

5
00:00:39,623 --> 00:00:41,172
Huh? Isn't that great?

6
00:00:41,241 --> 00:00:43,541
And it's all ours.

7
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:46,861
Yes. Yours and mine
and the man from the bank.

8
00:00:46,930 --> 00:00:48,091
Aw.

9
00:00:48,115 --> 00:00:49,982
Oh, Mr. Post,

10
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,129
I know you went a little
higher than you figured.

11
00:00:52,153 --> 00:00:54,452
Oh, I couldn't help it.

12
00:00:54,522 --> 00:00:56,821
As soon as I saw this
place, I fell in love with it.

13
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:58,590
Well, you're an architect.

14
00:00:58,659 --> 00:01:00,403
You know good, solid
construction when you see it.

15
00:01:00,427 --> 00:01:02,310
I certainly do.

16
00:01:02,396 --> 00:01:04,012
Don't I, dear?

17
00:01:04,081 --> 00:01:06,148
Thank you, honey.

18
00:01:06,216 --> 00:01:08,528
Mr. Addison, your next-door
neighbor, who used to own it,

19
00:01:08,552 --> 00:01:10,230
has always kept
it in fine shape.

20
00:01:10,254 --> 00:01:12,466
I'm sure he has. Thanks very
much, Mr. Reeves, for everything.

21
00:01:12,490 --> 00:01:15,156
Well, thank you. I know you two
are going to be very happy here.

22
00:01:15,225 --> 00:01:17,425
- Thank you. Goodbye.
- Good-bye.

23
00:01:20,313 --> 00:01:22,280
Well, shall we go in?

24
00:01:22,349 --> 00:01:24,182
Wilbur, it's our first house.

25
00:01:24,251 --> 00:01:26,362
Aren't you going to carry
me over the threshold?

26
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:28,687
Oh. Oh, yes. Sure.

27
00:01:31,875 --> 00:01:34,242
Good, solid construction.

28
00:01:36,881 --> 00:01:38,680
Oh. Got to get the key.

29
00:01:38,748 --> 00:01:41,400
Wilbur, don't put me
down. It's bad luck.

30
00:01:41,468 --> 00:01:43,735
Oh!

31
00:01:43,804 --> 00:01:47,055
You'd better get the key
then. It's in one of my pockets.

32
00:01:47,124 --> 00:01:49,691
Down...

33
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,277
Wait a minute. I forgot
to get it from Mr. Reeves.

34
00:01:52,346 --> 00:01:54,128
Mr. Reeves!

35
00:01:54,197 --> 00:01:56,398
How do you do?

36
00:01:56,466 --> 00:01:59,284
I'm Roger Addison.
I live next door.

37
00:01:59,352 --> 00:02:02,504
Oh. I'm just carrying my
wife across the threshold.

38
00:02:02,573 --> 00:02:04,806
Well, aren't you going
in the wrong direction?

39
00:02:04,874 --> 00:02:07,492
Yes, I am. Oh, Mr. Reeves!

40
00:02:09,597 --> 00:02:11,546
Would you mind? I won't be long.

41
00:02:13,016 --> 00:02:15,017
Mr. Reeves!

42
00:02:15,085 --> 00:02:17,519
How do you do? I'm Carol Post.

43
00:02:17,588 --> 00:02:19,554
How do you do?

44
00:02:19,622 --> 00:02:22,468
Well, now that we've met,
perhaps I'd better put you down.

45
00:02:22,492 --> 00:02:26,127
Oh, no, no. You
see, it's bad luck.

46
00:02:26,196 --> 00:02:27,445
Oh.

47
00:02:27,514 --> 00:02:29,547
I got it, honey.

48
00:02:29,616 --> 00:02:31,883
Oh, this way, Mr. Addison.

49
00:02:31,952 --> 00:02:33,785
I'm awfully sorry.

50
00:02:41,845 --> 00:02:44,178
There we are.

51
00:02:44,247 --> 00:02:47,099
Oh! Ah! Here.

52
00:02:53,139 --> 00:02:55,840
Whoa. How do you
do? I'm Wilbur Post.

53
00:02:55,909 --> 00:02:58,693
- How do you do?
- Won't you come on in?

54
00:02:58,762 --> 00:03:00,178
Not right now.

55
00:03:00,247 --> 00:03:02,327
I have a feeling that
I might be intruding.

56
00:03:09,473 --> 00:03:11,990
Come on, honey. Let's go
look at the rest of our estate.

57
00:03:12,058 --> 00:03:14,076
All 200 feet of it?

58
00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:19,681
Isn't this wonderful? I've
never lived in the country before.

59
00:03:19,749 --> 00:03:21,466
Oh, you'll love it.

60
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:24,219
I lived in a place like
this when I was a kid.

61
00:03:28,958 --> 00:03:30,658
Aha!

62
00:03:30,727 --> 00:03:32,838
Now, there's something
you learn on a farm.

63
00:03:32,862 --> 00:03:35,497
A rake lying on the
ground. That is dangerous.

64
00:03:35,565 --> 00:03:37,544
Oh, well, sure, if you
stepped on it in your bare...

65
00:03:37,568 --> 00:03:39,735
No, no, no. Not bare
feet. Not just that.

66
00:03:39,803 --> 00:03:41,348
Why, if you were to
step on that, that could

67
00:03:41,372 --> 00:03:42,799
come right up and
smack you in the face.

68
00:03:42,823 --> 00:03:44,934
Oh, you mean it's
dangerous just to do this?

69
00:03:48,745 --> 00:03:50,345
That is dangerous.

70
00:03:50,414 --> 00:03:52,781
- Come on, hon.
- Oh, I'm sorry!

71
00:03:57,354 --> 00:03:59,132
That's what I was
telling you about, honey.

72
00:03:59,156 --> 00:04:01,234
This could be converted
into an office for me.

73
00:04:01,258 --> 00:04:03,258
I figured I'd put a
skylight up there,

74
00:04:03,293 --> 00:04:06,028
and right next to my drafting
table, we could build cabinets.

75
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:10,882
- Carol, look!
- A horse!

76
00:04:10,951 --> 00:04:13,230
But he wasn't here when
we first looked at the place.

77
00:04:13,254 --> 00:04:15,620
Well, maybe he was outside.

78
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:19,924
How about that? A horse!

79
00:04:22,162 --> 00:04:24,890
Oh, let's get out of here! Or get
him out of here! Or do something!

80
00:04:24,914 --> 00:04:27,549
Well, you two certainly are

81
00:04:27,617 --> 00:04:30,435
the most affectionate
couple I've ever seen.

82
00:04:33,557 --> 00:04:35,473
He-He tried to bite me!

83
00:04:35,525 --> 00:04:38,626
I suppose that's all
right. You're married.

84
00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:40,562
Oh, she means the horse.

85
00:04:40,630 --> 00:04:43,514
Him? He doesn't bite.
He's just a mangy old nag.

86
00:04:44,968 --> 00:04:47,012
As a matter of fact, that's
what I came to tell you about.

87
00:04:47,036 --> 00:04:50,233
You see, the people who rented this house
before you bought it owned this horse.

88
00:04:50,257 --> 00:04:52,269
Well, they had to leave
in a hurry, and they said

89
00:04:52,293 --> 00:04:54,970
you can keep him, you can sell
him, do anything you want with him.

90
00:04:54,994 --> 00:04:56,594
Oh!

91
00:04:59,717 --> 00:05:00,999
We'll keep him.

92
00:05:01,068 --> 00:05:03,168
Wilbur, of course
not. We'll sell him.

93
00:05:03,237 --> 00:05:05,504
- No, we'll keep him.
- Sell him.

94
00:05:05,572 --> 00:05:07,305
- Keep him.
- Sell him.

95
00:05:07,373 --> 00:05:09,607
- Keep him.
- Sell him!

96
00:05:09,676 --> 00:05:11,943
I'm glad to hear
you two arguing.

97
00:05:12,012 --> 00:05:15,172
For a moment, I was wondering if
you were a normal married couple.

98
00:05:20,053 --> 00:05:22,487
Wilbur, come here, honey.

99
00:05:22,555 --> 00:05:25,674
We've gone to a lot of
expense to buy this house,

100
00:05:25,743 --> 00:05:29,844
and we just can't
afford to feed the animal.

101
00:05:29,913 --> 00:05:31,663
Well, okay, I guess...

102
00:05:31,732 --> 00:05:35,016
You'll see I'm right. I'll find a
horse dealer in the phone book.

103
00:05:39,422 --> 00:05:41,522
Look, I'm sorry, old fella.

104
00:05:41,591 --> 00:05:43,758
I wanted to keep you, but...

105
00:05:43,844 --> 00:05:46,677
Hey, do you have any water?

106
00:05:46,746 --> 00:05:48,446
Huh?

107
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,784
You know, I should never
have started cleaning you up.

108
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:56,955
The better you get to look,
the more I want to keep you.

109
00:05:57,024 --> 00:05:59,991
Ah, let's get started
with the feet now, huh?

110
00:06:10,204 --> 00:06:12,236
Maybe it's just hot in here.

111
00:06:12,305 --> 00:06:14,089
Should open a window.

112
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:31,105
Mr. Parker, this is
my husband, Wilbur,

113
00:06:31,174 --> 00:06:32,840
and that's the horse.

114
00:06:32,909 --> 00:06:34,359
Why didn't you let him guess?

115
00:06:34,428 --> 00:06:36,695
How do you do, Mr. Post?

116
00:06:42,152 --> 00:06:45,603
I think I can take him
off your hands for $50.

117
00:06:45,655 --> 00:06:49,140
Honey, you're making a big
mistake. This is a very intelligent horse.

118
00:06:49,209 --> 00:06:52,427
We've been all through
that, dear. We'll take the $50.

119
00:06:52,496 --> 00:06:55,330
All right. There you are.

120
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:56,998
Give it to her.

121
00:06:57,066 --> 00:06:58,633
There you are, ma'am... $50.

122
00:06:58,701 --> 00:07:00,661
And I think we both
made a good deal.

123
00:07:00,721 --> 00:07:02,841
This horse looks to
be in pretty good shape.

124
00:07:17,937 --> 00:07:20,304
Just a minute.
This horse is lame.

125
00:07:20,357 --> 00:07:21,572
Lame?

126
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:29,597
Lame, huh?

127
00:07:29,666 --> 00:07:31,911
Well, the horse wouldn't
be much use to you like that.

128
00:07:31,935 --> 00:07:34,819
There's nothing out of place.

129
00:07:34,888 --> 00:07:36,821
Probably just a barn cramp.

130
00:07:36,890 --> 00:07:39,824
Oh. Barn cramp, huh?

131
00:07:39,876 --> 00:07:41,660
But of course,

132
00:07:41,728 --> 00:07:44,457
if this horse were in real pain, he
wouldn't be holding his head so high.

133
00:07:44,481 --> 00:07:46,748
The minute a horse is
distressed or off his feed,

134
00:07:46,817 --> 00:07:49,834
first thing you notice,
that head goes right down.

135
00:07:51,621 --> 00:07:54,639
Well, the animal is ailing.

136
00:07:54,708 --> 00:07:57,759
Well, we can't take
advantage of the man, honey.

137
00:07:57,828 --> 00:07:59,873
- Give him his money back.
- Well, honey...

138
00:07:59,897 --> 00:08:01,674
Of course, he
can't be real sick.

139
00:08:01,698 --> 00:08:04,432
If a horse can
stand, he's worth $50.

140
00:08:07,688 --> 00:08:09,553
Well, I'll be.

141
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:13,958
Give me back my $50.

142
00:08:14,027 --> 00:08:17,223
Horse trading is a thieving, conniving,
double-crossing business at best,

143
00:08:17,247 --> 00:08:19,914
but this beats all.

144
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,667
Just a minute.

145
00:08:22,735 --> 00:08:27,689
10, 20, 30, 40, 45.

146
00:08:27,758 --> 00:08:30,424
Yeah, it's all here.

147
00:08:30,493 --> 00:08:33,578
Wilbur, what are
we going to do now?

148
00:08:33,647 --> 00:08:35,913
Honey, if the man
doesn't want the horse...

149
00:08:35,982 --> 00:08:38,216
But, honey, how can
we take care of him?

150
00:08:38,284 --> 00:08:40,485
Look at him. He's sick.

151
00:08:40,553 --> 00:08:43,571
Maybe the S.P.C.A. can
help us. I'll go call them.

152
00:08:54,383 --> 00:08:56,901
Carol. Carol!

153
00:08:56,970 --> 00:08:59,404
Can you come over right away?

154
00:08:59,473 --> 00:09:02,139
I'm afraid he's a very sick
horse. He's on his back.

155
00:09:03,609 --> 00:09:05,588
Hello? Look, you
can forget about it.

156
00:09:05,612 --> 00:09:07,845
The horse is
perfectly all right.

157
00:09:07,914 --> 00:09:09,530
Thank you.

158
00:09:09,599 --> 00:09:12,050
Wilbur, what do you
mean, the horse is all right?

159
00:09:12,119 --> 00:09:14,552
Do you know that
horse was only kidding?

160
00:09:14,620 --> 00:09:15,837
“Kidding”?

161
00:09:15,906 --> 00:09:19,023
He was only pretending
to be sick so he could stay.

162
00:09:19,092 --> 00:09:23,328
Wilbur, I know you want to keep
the horse, but this is ridiculous.

163
00:09:23,397 --> 00:09:25,430
But it's true!

164
00:09:25,499 --> 00:09:27,499
Why do you think I
winked back at him?

165
00:09:28,952 --> 00:09:30,434
You-You winked back at him?

166
00:09:30,487 --> 00:09:33,420
- Yeah, but he winked
at me first.
- Oh, Wilbur.

167
00:09:33,489 --> 00:09:35,790
Look, there is nothing
wrong with that horse.

168
00:09:35,876 --> 00:09:37,124
Look.

169
00:09:39,012 --> 00:09:41,178
All right, Wilbur. All right.

170
00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:43,631
You can keep the horse if
it means that much to you,

171
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:46,433
but stop making up
these fantastic stories.

172
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:48,836
- I love you.
- Well, prove it.

173
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:07,956
- Come in.
- Aren't you people
overdoing this a bit?

174
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:09,958
She's letting me keep the horse.

175
00:10:10,027 --> 00:10:12,459
How nice. Now, what I
came over to tell you is this:

176
00:10:12,528 --> 00:10:14,340
that I'm having some
neighbors over tomorrow night,

177
00:10:14,364 --> 00:10:16,141
and I'd like to have you
come over and meet them.

178
00:10:16,165 --> 00:10:18,399
- Oh, thank you.
- We'd be delighted.

179
00:10:21,238 --> 00:10:23,754
If I were you, I'd
keep my door closed.

180
00:10:33,332 --> 00:10:36,117
Now, you're
gonna stay after all.

181
00:10:36,186 --> 00:10:38,186
Isn't that great?

182
00:10:43,276 --> 00:10:46,761
Oh, I never thought owning a
horse could mean so much to me.

183
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:51,443
I guess it's because
when I was a little boy,

184
00:10:51,467 --> 00:10:54,385
I wanted a pony.

185
00:10:54,454 --> 00:10:57,872
Of course, it's been a long
time since I was a little boy.

186
00:10:57,941 --> 00:11:01,025
It's been a long time
since I was a pony.

187
00:11:10,386 --> 00:11:12,269
Who said that?

188
00:11:18,244 --> 00:11:20,912
Oh, no. That's impossible.

189
00:11:22,449 --> 00:11:24,232
Did you say that?

190
00:11:24,317 --> 00:11:26,100
Oh! How could you?

191
00:11:26,186 --> 00:11:28,536
Did you say it?

192
00:11:35,228 --> 00:11:37,661
Oh, I... I didn't hear it.

193
00:11:37,730 --> 00:11:39,530
How could I?

194
00:11:39,599 --> 00:11:42,133
But I did.

195
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:45,719
Oh, that's impossible!
I don't believe it!

196
00:11:45,789 --> 00:11:49,207
Now, while I'm looking
right at you, say something.

197
00:11:49,259 --> 00:11:53,077
- Like what?
- Anything. Anything.

198
00:11:53,146 --> 00:11:56,914
How now, brown cow?

199
00:12:05,791 --> 00:12:07,825
Carol! Carol!

200
00:12:10,597 --> 00:12:12,931
- Carol! Carol!
- What is it, honey?

201
00:12:12,999 --> 00:12:15,283
- Carol, the horse!
- Down here, dear.

202
00:12:15,351 --> 00:12:17,401
Carol! The horse!

203
00:12:17,454 --> 00:12:22,389
The horse... Better
sit down, dear.

204
00:12:22,458 --> 00:12:24,358
- The horse...
- Uh-huh?

205
00:12:24,427 --> 00:12:25,877
He talks.

206
00:12:25,946 --> 00:12:28,396
Wilbur, I told you you
could keep the horse. Now...

207
00:12:28,464 --> 00:12:31,110
Look, look, I know it sounds
fantastic, unbelievable, but it's true.

208
00:12:31,134 --> 00:12:33,301
The horse talks!

209
00:12:35,105 --> 00:12:37,137
I didn't believe
it myself at first,

210
00:12:37,206 --> 00:12:39,885
and then I made him say something
while I was looking right at him.

211
00:12:39,909 --> 00:12:41,843
What did he say?

212
00:12:41,911 --> 00:12:46,514
“How now, brown cow?”

213
00:12:51,438 --> 00:12:53,216
The rake! The bump on the head!

214
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,689
Oh!

215
00:12:56,042 --> 00:12:58,275
Yeah. The rake. Yeah.

216
00:12:58,344 --> 00:13:00,144
The rake! That's what it was!

217
00:13:02,015 --> 00:13:03,397
How do you feel?

218
00:13:03,466 --> 00:13:04,816
Fine.

219
00:13:08,371 --> 00:13:10,471
Carol!

220
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:12,923
Carol!

221
00:13:12,992 --> 00:13:15,493
Carol? Sit down.

222
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:19,898
Carol, that horse talks!

223
00:13:21,834 --> 00:13:24,930
You've got to go to bed and I'll call the
doctor and everything will be all right.

224
00:13:24,954 --> 00:13:28,017
Come on with me. You're gonna
hear it straight from the horse's mouth.

225
00:13:28,041 --> 00:13:29,590
Wilbur!

226
00:13:30,543 --> 00:13:31,659
Wilbur!

227
00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:34,611
Wilbur!

228
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,747
Wilbur, I'm worried about you!

229
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:38,783
I'll prove it to
you. You'll see.

230
00:13:40,503 --> 00:13:42,670
All right, say something.

231
00:13:44,874 --> 00:13:47,141
Well? Don't just stand there.

232
00:13:47,210 --> 00:13:49,343
Say something.

233
00:13:49,412 --> 00:13:51,246
Oh!

234
00:13:51,314 --> 00:13:53,492
I know why he won't talk.
You've turned your back on him.

235
00:13:53,516 --> 00:13:56,834
That horse is sensitive. Now,
Carol, will you please turn around?

236
00:13:56,903 --> 00:13:59,137
This whole thing is ridiculous!

237
00:13:59,206 --> 00:14:02,190
Will you please turn around?

238
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:04,058
All right.

239
00:14:06,296 --> 00:14:07,612
Oh!

240
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,614
I told you he was sensitive.

241
00:14:09,683 --> 00:14:11,594
I wouldn't believe
that horse could talk

242
00:14:11,618 --> 00:14:14,184
if the two of you stood
there and sang a duet!

243
00:14:15,888 --> 00:14:18,622
Carol!

244
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:20,536
Why didn't you talk to my wife?

245
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,009
I hate skeptics.

246
00:14:22,078 --> 00:14:24,595
But you made me
look like such a fool.

247
00:14:24,664 --> 00:14:27,848
You've got to talk to my
wife. Why did you talk to me?

248
00:14:27,917 --> 00:14:30,184
Because I like you.

249
00:14:30,253 --> 00:14:33,004
This whole thing is fantastic.

250
00:14:33,072 --> 00:14:35,022
I just don't understand it.

251
00:14:35,091 --> 00:14:37,024
Don't try to.

252
00:14:37,093 --> 00:14:39,327
It's bigger than both of us.

253
00:14:48,938 --> 00:14:51,272
- Hello, Mr. Addison.
- Oh, hello, Post.

254
00:14:51,358 --> 00:14:53,790
I didn't recognize you
without your wife in your arms.

255
00:14:53,859 --> 00:14:55,643
- Come in.
- Thank you.

256
00:14:57,113 --> 00:14:59,292
Mr. Addison, I... I'd like
to ask you something.

257
00:14:59,316 --> 00:15:01,782
Why, certainly, Post,
certainly. Anything at all.

258
00:15:01,851 --> 00:15:03,584
Oh, a cigar?

259
00:15:03,653 --> 00:15:06,837
No, I haven't got one with me.

260
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:09,773
No, no, no, Post. I'm
offering you a cigar.

261
00:15:09,826 --> 00:15:11,609
Oh! Thank you.

262
00:15:11,677 --> 00:15:13,389
You know, I'm sorry
my wife won't be back

263
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:15,291
from New York in time for
the party tomorrow night.

264
00:15:15,315 --> 00:15:16,842
I did want you and
your wife to meet her.

265
00:15:16,866 --> 00:15:20,384
Oh, fine. We'll
enjoy seeing her.

266
00:15:20,453 --> 00:15:22,493
Post, I know we're
both in the same room,

267
00:15:22,521 --> 00:15:24,366
but I don't think we're
in the same world.

268
00:15:24,390 --> 00:15:25,851
Is there something on your mind?

269
00:15:25,875 --> 00:15:27,608
Yes, Mr. Addison, there is.

270
00:15:27,677 --> 00:15:29,710
Well, sit down
and tell me about it.

271
00:15:29,779 --> 00:15:32,213
Thank you.

272
00:15:32,281 --> 00:15:34,282
Uh, Mr. Addison,

273
00:15:34,350 --> 00:15:37,902
the man who lived in the house
before we did... Um, he rented from you.

274
00:15:37,970 --> 00:15:40,766
- Mr. Oldfield.
- Yeah. Did you know him
very well?

275
00:15:40,790 --> 00:15:43,408
Oh, yes, indeed. We
were very close friends.

276
00:15:43,476 --> 00:15:45,876
Did you ever exchange
confidences with him?

277
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:47,845
Yeah, quite often.

278
00:15:47,913 --> 00:15:49,913
Did he ever tell
you about his horse?

279
00:15:51,134 --> 00:15:52,750
No. What about his horse?

280
00:15:52,819 --> 00:15:54,919
Did he ever tell you
his horse talked?

281
00:15:54,988 --> 00:15:57,638
Oh, no. Oldfield said
a lot of funny things...

282
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,294
Would you repeat that, please?

283
00:16:03,362 --> 00:16:05,763
He didn't say anything
about his horse talking?

284
00:16:07,083 --> 00:16:08,749
No.

285
00:16:08,818 --> 00:16:10,818
Did the horse ever say anything?

286
00:16:14,607 --> 00:16:16,006
No.

287
00:16:16,075 --> 00:16:18,509
Did the horse ever talk to you?

288
00:16:18,578 --> 00:16:21,495
Uh-huh.

289
00:16:21,564 --> 00:16:23,564
He's been talking
to me all afternoon.

290
00:16:27,586 --> 00:16:30,271
I just realized
I'm a little tired.

291
00:16:30,340 --> 00:16:32,706
I think perhaps a little
rest would do me good.

292
00:16:32,775 --> 00:16:35,135
It might not be a bad idea
for you to get some rest too.

293
00:16:35,177 --> 00:16:38,695
You see, I played 18 holes of golf
today, and that's a little too much for me.

294
00:16:38,748 --> 00:16:41,349
Normally I only play 9,
and I'm a little fatigued.

295
00:16:41,418 --> 00:16:44,168
Mr. Addison, the reason I came
over here is I need your help.

296
00:16:44,237 --> 00:16:46,938
You see, I've got a
problem with my wife.

297
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:49,051
I can't convince her
that the horse talks.

298
00:16:49,075 --> 00:16:51,375
I would say that your
wife had the problem.

299
00:16:57,750 --> 00:17:01,101
So frustrated is that
my neighbor, my wife...

300
00:17:01,170 --> 00:17:02,870
My own wife...

301
00:17:02,939 --> 00:17:05,551
I tell 'em I've got a horse that
talks, and they don't believe me.

302
00:17:05,575 --> 00:17:09,077
Why should they?
It's ridiculous.

303
00:17:10,596 --> 00:17:13,331
- But you do talk.
- Only to you.

304
00:17:13,399 --> 00:17:15,199
Well, why only to me?

305
00:17:15,268 --> 00:17:17,568
'Cause you're the
only one I ever liked

306
00:17:17,636 --> 00:17:19,516
well enough to talk to, Wilbur.

307
00:17:21,073 --> 00:17:24,858
Well, thanks, uh... Ed.

308
00:17:24,927 --> 00:17:27,678
Ed?

309
00:17:27,747 --> 00:17:30,147
What kind of a name
is Ed for a horse?

310
00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:33,968
What kind of a name
is Wilbur for a man?

311
00:17:36,489 --> 00:17:40,040
Ah, stop gabbin' and
get me some oats.

312
00:17:40,109 --> 00:17:41,842
I'm starved.

313
00:17:41,911 --> 00:17:44,044
Well, that's-that's right.

314
00:17:44,113 --> 00:17:46,047
You do need some oats. Yeah.

315
00:17:46,115 --> 00:17:48,249
Oh, um, where shall I get them?

316
00:17:48,318 --> 00:17:50,818
Go to Duffy's feed
and grain store.

317
00:17:52,338 --> 00:17:55,939
Wilbur... Yes?

318
00:17:56,008 --> 00:17:58,675
They give Green Stamps.

319
00:18:16,412 --> 00:18:18,407
Oh! Honey, let me give
you a hand with that.

320
00:18:18,431 --> 00:18:19,864
All right.

321
00:18:19,933 --> 00:18:21,515
There we are.

322
00:18:22,701 --> 00:18:24,635
Honey, what's wrong?

323
00:18:24,703 --> 00:18:27,455
I had an awful time
at the market today.

324
00:18:27,524 --> 00:18:29,589
What happened?

325
00:18:29,658 --> 00:18:33,478
Everybody was talking about the
new couple that moved in, the Posts.

326
00:18:33,546 --> 00:18:36,597
They said that the husband
thinks he has a horse that talks.

327
00:18:38,001 --> 00:18:39,750
What did you say?

328
00:18:39,819 --> 00:18:41,752
I said my name was Mrs. Jones.

329
00:18:41,821 --> 00:18:44,455
Oh, honey...

330
00:18:44,507 --> 00:18:46,457
Look, dear, don't
worry about it.

331
00:18:46,526 --> 00:18:48,792
These things have a way
of clearing themselves up.

332
00:18:48,845 --> 00:18:49,960
Hello.

333
00:18:50,029 --> 00:18:53,214
Hello, Post? This
is Mr. Addison.

334
00:18:53,283 --> 00:18:55,716
I'm sorry, but the party
for tonight is canceled.

335
00:18:55,784 --> 00:18:57,551
Goodbye.

336
00:19:02,058 --> 00:19:03,907
That was Mr. Addison.

337
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:06,827
The party's been called off.

338
00:19:06,895 --> 00:19:09,647
I knew it! I just knew it!

339
00:19:09,715 --> 00:19:13,850
Look, Carol... Carol!

340
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:17,138
Don't call me Carol!
My name is Mrs. Jones!

341
00:19:19,808 --> 00:19:22,460
Got to prove
that this horse t...

342
00:19:24,013 --> 00:19:26,413
A tape recorder. That'll do it!

343
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:30,351
- Hi, Wilbur.
- Hi, Ed.

344
00:19:30,420 --> 00:19:31,969
What you doing?

345
00:19:32,038 --> 00:19:35,088
Oh, just thought
I'd drop in, say hello.

346
00:19:35,157 --> 00:19:36,590
That's nice.

347
00:19:40,612 --> 00:19:43,330
You know, I'm very flattered
that I'm the only human being

348
00:19:43,399 --> 00:19:45,999
that you picked on
to talk to, old horse.

349
00:19:46,068 --> 00:19:48,486
That's swell.

350
00:19:50,072 --> 00:19:53,941
Uh, can I get you some
oats or anything, old horse?

351
00:19:54,010 --> 00:19:56,711
Nope. I'm fine.

352
00:19:56,779 --> 00:20:01,048
Uh, can I open the
window for you, Mister Ed?

353
00:20:01,116 --> 00:20:02,716
Nope.

354
00:20:02,785 --> 00:20:05,719
Leave it closed.

355
00:20:05,788 --> 00:20:09,123
Well, good night, horse.

356
00:20:09,192 --> 00:20:10,908
Good night.

357
00:20:18,234 --> 00:20:20,668
- Hey, Wilbur.
- What?

358
00:20:20,736 --> 00:20:23,187
Nice gadget you got there.

359
00:20:23,255 --> 00:20:24,717
Oh, yeah. Yes, it is.

360
00:20:24,741 --> 00:20:27,658
Tape recorder, huh?

361
00:20:29,245 --> 00:20:31,578
Oh, well, yeah.

362
00:20:31,647 --> 00:20:34,531
You might call it that,
I guess. Goodbye.

363
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,567
- Hey, Wilbur.
- What?

364
00:20:36,635 --> 00:20:39,619
How you gonna convince anyone

365
00:20:39,688 --> 00:20:42,623
the other voice on
that tape is a horse?

366
00:20:43,959 --> 00:20:45,442
Huh?

367
00:20:48,998 --> 00:20:50,798
Oh!

368
00:20:50,866 --> 00:20:53,300
Oh, this is great.

369
00:20:53,369 --> 00:20:56,904
All because you had
to pick on me to talk to.

370
00:20:56,972 --> 00:21:00,190
Millions of people in the
whole world you could...

371
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:02,359
and you got to pick on me.

372
00:21:02,428 --> 00:21:05,912
Now everybody thinks I've
flipped my lid. Carol's heartbroken.

373
00:21:05,981 --> 00:21:08,766
All because you
pick on me to talk to.

374
00:21:08,835 --> 00:21:13,370
Wilbur, I can get
you out of this.

375
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:15,239
How?

376
00:21:15,307 --> 00:21:19,026
Phone that real
estate man, Reeves.

377
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:21,846
Reeves?

378
00:21:21,914 --> 00:21:24,314
You tell him what
I'm gonna tell you.

379
00:21:24,383 --> 00:21:27,434
If I know Reeves, he'll
run right to Addison.

380
00:21:27,503 --> 00:21:29,737
Well, then what?

381
00:21:29,806 --> 00:21:31,905
Then your troubles will be over.

382
00:21:36,178 --> 00:21:38,178
Now, listen, Wilbur.

383
00:21:42,518 --> 00:21:45,681
What do you mean, Post doesn't
want the house? He bought it, didn't he?

384
00:21:45,705 --> 00:21:49,390
Sure. But he wants to make you give
him back the money without asking for it.

385
00:21:49,458 --> 00:21:51,470
That's ridiculous. The
man's out of his mind.

386
00:21:51,494 --> 00:21:53,694
That's exactly what
he wants you to believe.

387
00:21:53,763 --> 00:21:55,796
That's why he told
me the horse talks.

388
00:21:55,865 --> 00:21:57,864
Right. Don't you understand?

389
00:21:57,933 --> 00:22:00,078
It's the oldest trick in
the real estate game.

390
00:22:00,102 --> 00:22:03,286
He wants to make us think
he's got a screw loose up here.

391
00:22:03,355 --> 00:22:05,500
That way, you'll try to get
him out of the neighborhood.

392
00:22:05,524 --> 00:22:07,602
I see. Well, he'll
never get away with it.

393
00:22:07,626 --> 00:22:10,810
Mr. Addison, you tried to
sell this house for a long time.

394
00:22:10,879 --> 00:22:12,791
There were no
takers at your price.

395
00:22:12,815 --> 00:22:14,882
You leave it to me, Reeves.

396
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:17,418
I know how to handle Post.

397
00:22:17,486 --> 00:22:19,587
Carol, will you come downstairs?

398
00:22:19,655 --> 00:22:22,739
- No!
- Honey, I'll make your lunch.

399
00:22:22,808 --> 00:22:24,708
I'm not hungry!

400
00:22:24,777 --> 00:22:26,738
Honey, there's
nothing to worry about.

401
00:22:26,762 --> 00:22:29,513
Somebody just told me how to
straighten out this whole mess.

402
00:22:29,581 --> 00:22:31,515
- Who?
- Oop!

403
00:22:31,583 --> 00:22:34,635
Maybe you'd
better stay upstairs.

404
00:22:38,224 --> 00:22:40,725
- Oh. Hello, Mr. Addison.
- Hello, Wilbur.

405
00:22:40,793 --> 00:22:43,221
- Come on in, sit down.
- Thank you. Thank you very much.

406
00:22:43,245 --> 00:22:45,279
What a pleasant surprise.

407
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:50,768
Why, my horse just told
me a very funny story.

408
00:22:50,836 --> 00:22:52,364
Funniest one I've
heard in years.

409
00:22:52,388 --> 00:22:54,588
I'm still laughing about it.

410
00:22:54,657 --> 00:22:56,557
Well, let me hear it.

411
00:22:56,626 --> 00:22:59,576
Ah, well, these two fellows
were at a bar, you see,

412
00:22:59,645 --> 00:23:01,790
and one of them says,
“Give me four martinis.”

413
00:23:01,814 --> 00:23:04,081
I know that joke.

414
00:23:04,150 --> 00:23:06,817
- You do?
- Yeah, my dog told it to me.

415
00:23:06,886 --> 00:23:08,385
Your... dog?

416
00:23:08,453 --> 00:23:11,132
Well, your horse told it to my
cat, my cat told it to my dog,

417
00:23:11,156 --> 00:23:14,007
and my dog told it to me.

418
00:23:14,076 --> 00:23:17,127
How do you like the
way things get around?

419
00:23:17,196 --> 00:23:19,063
- Wilbur...
- Yeah?

420
00:23:19,131 --> 00:23:22,950
If I cut $2,000 off the price of
the house, will that make you stay?

421
00:23:23,019 --> 00:23:24,730
- Two thou...
- Is it a deal?

422
00:23:24,754 --> 00:23:26,520
It's a deal!

423
00:23:26,589 --> 00:23:28,989
Now, Wilbur, does
your horse talk?

424
00:23:29,057 --> 00:23:31,425
- No. Does your dog talk?
- No.

425
00:23:31,493 --> 00:23:33,727
- Your cat?
- Hm-mmm.

426
00:23:33,796 --> 00:23:35,974
You know, for a minute, I
was a little worried about you.

427
00:23:35,998 --> 00:23:38,332
And I worried about you.

428
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:41,151
Oh, and by the way,
the party is not canceled.

429
00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:44,180
- I'm expecting you
and your wife.
- Oh, just a minute.

430
00:23:45,792 --> 00:23:47,657
Carol? Carol!

431
00:23:47,726 --> 00:23:49,659
I don't want any lunch.

432
00:23:49,728 --> 00:23:51,506
Look, honey, Mr. Addison's here.

433
00:23:51,530 --> 00:23:53,458
He's inviting us
to the party tonight.

434
00:23:53,482 --> 00:23:56,800
Really? How wonderful!

435
00:23:56,852 --> 00:23:58,892
Look, not only that,
he likes us so much

436
00:23:58,938 --> 00:24:01,421
he's knocked $2,000
off the price of the house.

437
00:24:01,490 --> 00:24:03,424
Oh, thank you, Mr. Addison!

438
00:24:03,492 --> 00:24:05,759
Oh, Wilbur.

439
00:24:05,828 --> 00:24:08,528
Honey.

440
00:24:11,117 --> 00:24:13,033
Well, this is where I came in.

441
00:24:30,919 --> 00:24:32,870
Ed, you asleep?

442
00:24:32,939 --> 00:24:34,871
Not anymore.

443
00:24:34,940 --> 00:24:36,618
Well, everything
worked out fine.

444
00:24:36,642 --> 00:24:39,276
We went to the party. The
ladies invited Carol out to lunch...

445
00:24:39,345 --> 00:24:41,445
- Wilbur.
- Yeah?

446
00:24:41,514 --> 00:24:43,414
Good night.

447
00:24:43,482 --> 00:24:47,117
Well, I haven't finished
telling you about Carol.

448
00:24:47,185 --> 00:24:48,969
Good night, Wilbur.

449
00:24:50,740 --> 00:24:52,907
Well, good night!

450
00:24:57,997 --> 00:25:00,080
People.

451
00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:02,666
Talk, talk, talk.
