Come on!

Get out of here.
10
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,074
Did you bring them?
11
00:03:15,241 --> 00:03:16,033
I brought two.
12
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,493
Give me them.
I'll scare him good.
13
00:03:17,660 --> 00:03:18,452
And get us sent home?
14
00:03:18,619 --> 00:03:20,705
Nah, you fret
too much.
15
00:03:20,871 --> 00:03:22,248
All right.
16
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:29,046
Hey, Elmer.
17
00:03:29,213 --> 00:03:30,005
Elmer.
18
00:03:30,172 --> 00:03:31,173
Open your mouth
and close your eyes,
19
00:03:31,340 --> 00:03:33,384
then I'll give you
something to make you wise.
20

That's awful!

It's just a worm.
24

That's what's awful!
25
00:03:46,939 --> 00:03:48,858
Worms ain't bad.
26
00:03:49,024 --> 00:03:52,528
They're good
for your garden,
and fish like them.
27

Good for you,
huh, Elmer?

You're a good guy,

They're dirty mean.

If I were you, I'd give
them both black eyes.

00:04:09,712 --> 00:04:13,048
Oh, I ain't much
for hurting anybody.
35
00:04:13,215 --> 00:04:14,884
It ain't Christian-like.
36
00:04:15,050 --> 00:04:17,762
Oh, I'd do unto them!
37
00:04:17,928 --> 00:04:20,514
Well...
Well, they're--
they're my friends.
38
00:04:20,681 --> 00:04:23,726
They wouldn't do it if
they weren't my friends.

his own elbow.

before we have
our spelling lesson.

This afternoon

Miss Beadle:
Yes, Kenny?
48
00:04:46,874 --> 00:04:49,084
Girls don't get
to vote, do they?
Women can't.
49
00:04:49,251 --> 00:04:50,753
Well, we sure do!
50

Miss Beadle: Class,
just a minute!
51
00:04:54,298 --> 00:04:57,051
Kenneth, the women have won
the right to vote in Wyoming.
52
00:04:57,218 --> 00:04:59,678
So, the girls will vote
in our class election.

[Students talking at once]

00:05:01,013 --> 00:05:02,014
And we'll win!

Let's get on with
our spelling lesson.
59
00:05:19,615 --> 00:05:20,699
It ain't fair!
60
00:05:20,866 --> 00:05:22,576
A girl can't
be president of
the United States,
61
00:05:22,743 --> 00:05:24,787
she shouldn't
be allowed to be
president of the class.
62
00:05:24,954 --> 00:05:26,288
Oh, never mind
what's fair.
63
00:05:26,455 --> 00:05:28,541
We got to figure out
a way to beat the girls
in the election.
64
00:05:28,707 --> 00:05:31,252
You don't even know
who they'll nominate.
65
00:05:31,418 --> 00:05:35,506
I can guess.
Look who's running
for her pa's store.

Yeah, she's always
just grabbing
for everything.

There's still
more of them
than there are us.
68
00:05:46,976 --> 00:05:49,228
They'll stomp us good.
69
00:05:49,395 --> 00:05:50,271

Rutherford B. Hayes
for our new president--

with nominations,

have 2 weeks to campaign,

party, only candidates.

nominate me faster?

you didn't give me
enough gumdrops.

I can get more.

nominating me.

Oh, that's all right.

It was just
nice, you being
a boy and all.

for president.

It's got to be
the funniest thing
that ever happened.
166
00:10:19,414 --> 00:10:20,666
It'll be funnier
when he wins.
167
00:10:20,833 --> 00:10:22,376
Yeah, it'll prove that
a boy don't know nothing

00:10:22,543 --> 00:10:23,418
is better than
the smartest girl.
169
00:10:23,585 --> 00:10:25,420
We can't lose. With
the 2 girls running,
170
00:10:25,587 --> 00:10:26,755
they'll split
the girls' votes,
171
00:10:26,922 --> 00:10:28,132
and all the boys
will vote for Elmer.

No. You misspelled it.

178
00:10:42,771 --> 00:10:43,605
Well, I do.
179
00:10:43,772 --> 00:10:46,024
Besides, I'm not
really interested.
180
00:10:46,191 --> 00:10:47,109
Hey, everybody.
181
00:10:47,276 --> 00:10:48,485
Hello.
Pa, you'll
never guess!
182
00:10:48,652 --> 00:10:51,196
Uh, let me see. You got
100 on an arithmetic test?
183
00:10:51,363 --> 00:10:52,406
Laura: Mm-mmm.
184
00:10:52,573 --> 00:10:54,283
You got a zero on
an arithmetic test?
[Chuckles]
185
00:10:54,449 --> 00:10:55,784
No.
186
00:10:55,951 --> 00:10:58,745
Uh, your sister Mary
got nominated for
class president? [Chuckles]
187
00:10:58,912 --> 00:10:59,955
You peeked.
188
00:11:00,122 --> 00:11:01,790
No, I didn't.
I saw Nels in
the mercantile.
189
00:11:01,957 --> 00:11:02,791
He told me.
190
00:11:02,958 --> 00:11:04,293
Congratulations,
madam president.
191
00:11:04,459 --> 00:11:05,961
Mary: Thanks,
but I think you should
192
00:11:06,128 --> 00:11:08,213
save the congratulations
for Nellie.
193
00:11:08,380 --> 00:11:10,465
No, I'm
going to manage
your campaign.
194
00:11:10,632 --> 00:11:11,800
She's going to win.
195
00:11:11,967 --> 00:11:14,469
I vote for Mary.
196
00:11:14,636 --> 00:11:15,888
There, you see?
197
00:11:16,054 --> 00:11:17,472
I guarantee you,
Carrie's not the only one
198
00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:19,099
who's going
to vote for you.
199
00:11:19,266 --> 00:11:21,602
Mary: None of
the girls will after
they go to Nellie's party.
200
00:11:21,768 --> 00:11:23,103
What party's that?
201
00:11:23,270 --> 00:11:26,023
Nellie invited all
the girls to her
house, except us,
202
00:11:26,190 --> 00:11:27,691
for ice cream
and cake tomorrow.
203
00:11:27,858 --> 00:11:29,693
Well, I tell you,
you just fight
fire with fire.
204
00:11:29,860 --> 00:11:31,153
Have a party
of your own.
205
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,697
That's just what
we're going to do...
Next Saturday.
206
00:11:33,864 --> 00:11:35,908
Two days before
the election...
207
00:11:36,074 --> 00:11:38,493
Good. We'll have
roasting ears
and popcorn.
208
00:11:38,660 --> 00:11:41,997
And some cider.
How does that sound, huh?
[Chuckles]
209
00:11:42,164 --> 00:11:46,001
There.
All finished.
210
00:11:46,168 --> 00:11:47,336
Laura: How's it look?
211
00:11:47,502 --> 00:11:50,047
Well, let me take
a look here.
212
00:11:50,214 --> 00:11:53,175
Hmm,
I couldn't have done
a better job myself.
213
00:11:53,342 --> 00:11:55,177
You see that, ma?
214
00:11:55,344 --> 00:11:56,803
Charles, I didn't think
you'd encourage the girls
215
00:11:56,970 --> 00:11:58,180
to put up signs
like that.
216
00:11:58,347 --> 00:12:00,057
It's just like
the election ones
in the paper.
217
00:12:00,224 --> 00:12:02,309
Yeah, but your
mother is right.
218
00:12:02,476 --> 00:12:04,061
I tell you
what you do.
219
00:12:04,228 --> 00:12:06,146
Just make Nellie's
curls a lot longer
220
00:12:06,313 --> 00:12:08,148
and give her some
licorice whips.
221
00:12:08,315 --> 00:12:10,359
[Laughter]
222
00:12:16,198 --> 00:12:17,491
Come on, boy.
223
00:12:17,658 --> 00:12:20,744
Easy now.
224
00:12:20,911 --> 00:12:22,996
Easy.
225
00:12:23,163 --> 00:12:25,040
There we go.
226
00:12:25,207 --> 00:12:28,669
It's all right.
I'm not going to hurt you.
227
00:12:35,092 --> 00:12:37,719
Let's see your neck.
228
00:12:49,898 --> 00:12:50,983
Hi.
229
00:12:51,149 --> 00:12:54,111
His neck's
almost better, pa.
230
00:12:54,278 --> 00:12:56,071
I can see that.
231
00:12:57,572 --> 00:12:59,324
Do you think if
I put him back with
the other chickens
232
00:12:59,491 --> 00:13:00,993
they'll do it again?
233
00:13:02,577 --> 00:13:04,538
Well, they just might.
234
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,252
Why? It's not
just one chicken.
235
00:13:10,419 --> 00:13:13,255
But it's the whole flock
a-pecking at him.
236
00:13:13,422 --> 00:13:15,424
Well, it's their nature.
237
00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:16,800
Plain wicked.
238
00:13:16,967 --> 00:13:19,428
They almost pecked
his eye out.
239
00:13:24,057 --> 00:13:25,350
Well...
240
00:13:25,517 --> 00:13:27,936
Well,
he looks fine now.
241
00:13:28,103 --> 00:13:31,606
Neck's all healed,
too.
242
00:13:34,818 --> 00:13:37,321
[Squeaking]
243
00:13:41,908 --> 00:13:44,536
How's that sick squirrel
of yours doing?
244
00:13:44,703 --> 00:13:48,832
Good. His leg is
almost like new.
245
00:13:48,999 --> 00:13:51,293
He even eats
out of my hand.
246
00:13:53,128 --> 00:13:54,338
Yeah.
247
00:13:56,757 --> 00:13:58,717
It's time you came in,
got washed up.
248
00:13:58,884 --> 00:14:00,218
Supper's almost ready.
249
00:14:00,385 --> 00:14:03,138
All right. I got to
feed my rabbit first,
250
00:14:03,305 --> 00:14:04,973
but I'll hurry.
251
00:14:08,685 --> 00:14:10,771
Ma was surprised
I got nominated.
252
00:14:10,937 --> 00:14:12,689
Not more than I was.
253
00:14:14,316 --> 00:14:17,194
Who was it
put your name in?
254
00:14:17,361 --> 00:14:19,613
Joel and Kenny.
255
00:14:19,780 --> 00:14:22,532
They said
they'd help me
get elected, too.
256
00:14:22,699 --> 00:14:26,078
I thought you was having
trouble with those two boys.
257
00:14:26,244 --> 00:14:27,579
Didn't they trip you,
258
00:14:27,746 --> 00:14:29,873
tear your pants
or something?
259
00:14:31,375 --> 00:14:34,336
They didn't
mean no harm.
260
00:14:34,503 --> 00:14:37,089
Happened more than once,
didn't it?
261
00:14:37,255 --> 00:14:38,173
That other time,
262
00:14:38,340 --> 00:14:41,301
I tore my shirt
on a bush.
263
00:14:41,468 --> 00:14:43,845
Oh, I see.
264
00:14:47,307 --> 00:14:49,893
Well, it's time you got
a move on, young fella.
265
00:14:50,060 --> 00:14:52,312
Supper will be waiting.
266
00:15:01,446 --> 00:15:03,407
Potatoes aren't
quite done.
267
00:15:03,573 --> 00:15:06,785
That's just as well.
He's got to feed
his rabbits.
268
00:15:06,952 --> 00:15:08,703
Should have had
that done by now,
269
00:15:08,870 --> 00:15:12,666
but he was setting
out there petting
that little chicken.
270
00:15:12,833 --> 00:15:14,042
He takes good care
of it.
271
00:15:14,209 --> 00:15:15,794
Now, if he had his way,
272
00:15:15,961 --> 00:15:19,589
that whole barn would be
full of sick strays.
273
00:15:23,051 --> 00:15:26,721
You know, I was right
about that nomination.
274
00:15:26,888 --> 00:15:29,766
It's the Bagby
and Turner boys
that put him up to it.
275
00:15:29,933 --> 00:15:32,352
I hope you told him
not to count
on winning.
276
00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:35,939
Not yet...But I will.
277
00:15:40,777 --> 00:15:42,487
You know, uh,
278
00:15:42,654 --> 00:15:44,948
kids are like chickens.
279
00:15:45,115 --> 00:15:48,326
Somebody different,
like Elmer,
280
00:15:48,493 --> 00:15:50,370
slow thinker,
281
00:15:50,537 --> 00:15:53,165
can't keep
up with the others--
282
00:15:53,331 --> 00:15:55,584
they set out to
peck him to pieces.
283
00:15:55,750 --> 00:15:56,543
Does he know?
284
00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:58,920
Oh, of course
he knows.
285
00:15:59,087 --> 00:16:01,548
He's slow, Ellen,
but he's not stupid.
286
00:16:01,715 --> 00:16:03,633
It doesn't seem
to bother him.
287
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,093
Well, it doesn't
bother him
288
00:16:05,260 --> 00:16:07,637
that he's two years
behind the other
kids his age either.
289
00:16:07,804 --> 00:16:10,599
We kept him out of school.
290
00:16:10,765 --> 00:16:12,851
Yeah, because
of what the kids
291
00:16:13,018 --> 00:16:15,854
and that Springfield
teacher did to him.
292
00:16:17,439 --> 00:16:20,650
A boy doesn't take to
books is no reason to
hold him up to shame.
293
00:16:33,121 --> 00:16:34,623
Might have been
a mistake
294
00:16:34,789 --> 00:16:37,792
to put him
in school here, too.
295
00:16:37,959 --> 00:16:41,755
He wants to go, Sam.
296
00:16:43,673 --> 00:16:45,300
Yeah...
297
00:16:45,467 --> 00:16:47,010
Like that
little chicken
298
00:16:47,177 --> 00:16:48,428
wants to...
299
00:16:48,595 --> 00:16:50,680
Run with the flock
300
00:16:50,847 --> 00:16:52,933
and get pecked
to death.
301
00:17:38,937 --> 00:17:41,022
Willie...
302
00:17:49,573 --> 00:17:51,533
I brought you something.
303
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:52,826
I don't want it.
304
00:17:52,993 --> 00:17:54,202
Yes, you do.
305
00:17:54,369 --> 00:17:57,372
It's something
you've been wanting
for a long time.
306
00:17:57,539 --> 00:17:59,124
No. I ain't
gonna help you.
307
00:17:59,291 --> 00:18:01,376
Kenny and Joel said I
shouldn't vote for you,
308
00:18:01,543 --> 00:18:02,627
and I ain't gonna.
309
00:18:02,794 --> 00:18:06,131
All right.
Take it anyway.
310
00:18:06,298 --> 00:18:09,050
Go on, take it.
311
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,858
Good.
312
00:18:25,025 --> 00:18:26,776
The best in the store.
313
00:18:26,943 --> 00:18:28,069
Thanks.
314
00:18:28,236 --> 00:18:31,239
Go ahead. Smoke it.
315
00:18:31,406 --> 00:18:33,658
I am.
316
00:18:34,868 --> 00:18:37,245
Now, you're going to help me
win the election,
317
00:18:37,412 --> 00:18:39,331
and you're going
to vote for me.
318
00:18:39,497 --> 00:18:41,249
Am not!
319
00:18:41,416 --> 00:18:42,500
You promise right now,
320
00:18:42,667 --> 00:18:45,420
or I'll go tell pa
I caught you smoking a cigar.
321
00:18:45,587 --> 00:18:46,963
But you gave
it to me.
322
00:18:47,130 --> 00:18:48,089
He won't believe that.
323
00:18:48,256 --> 00:18:50,050
I'll tell him
you swiped it.
324
00:18:50,216 --> 00:18:52,302
Now, you'll do as I say.
325
00:18:52,469 --> 00:18:54,054
You're going
to come to my party,
326
00:18:54,220 --> 00:18:57,265
and you'll tell everyone
to vote for me, and...
327
00:18:57,432 --> 00:18:59,684
Willie, come back here!
328
00:19:22,374 --> 00:19:24,542
You're going
to the wrong place.
329
00:19:24,709 --> 00:19:27,295
Nellie said
the party is gonna
be in the house.
330
00:19:27,462 --> 00:19:29,839
There's gonna be cake
and punch and ice cream
331
00:19:30,006 --> 00:19:31,508
and games
in the yard,
332
00:19:31,675 --> 00:19:34,010
and Nellie said not
to bring a present.
333
00:19:34,177 --> 00:19:37,347
Just bring your vote.
334
00:19:38,807 --> 00:19:41,142
[Bell rings]
335
00:19:42,977 --> 00:19:45,397
11, 12...
336
00:19:45,563 --> 00:19:47,399
There's just
a dozen today, huh?
337
00:19:47,565 --> 00:19:48,733
Yes, sir.
338
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:51,027
Well, it's going to
be quite a party,
isn't it?
339
00:19:51,194 --> 00:19:53,988
Oh, you know,
they're going to
have games and punch
340
00:19:54,155 --> 00:19:55,532
and cookies
and ice cream.
341
00:19:55,699 --> 00:19:59,244
Nellie's invited
just--well, every
girl in the school.
342
00:19:59,411 --> 00:20:00,620
Not quite.
343
00:20:00,787 --> 00:20:01,955
Laura.
344
00:20:02,122 --> 00:20:05,125
Well, you are going,
aren't you?
345
00:20:05,291 --> 00:20:06,584
No, sir.
346
00:20:06,751 --> 00:20:08,795
But you were invited.
347
00:20:08,962 --> 00:20:11,214
No, sir.
348
00:20:11,381 --> 00:20:14,259
I...think Nellie forgot.
349
00:20:14,426 --> 00:20:16,761
Well, I'll see to that.
350
00:20:16,928 --> 00:20:19,639
You are invited
as of right now.
351
00:20:19,806 --> 00:20:23,017
Thank you,
but...
352
00:20:23,184 --> 00:20:25,019
But we have
chores.
353
00:20:25,186 --> 00:20:27,313
On Saturday?
354
00:20:28,606 --> 00:20:31,401
Uh...yes!
355
00:20:31,568 --> 00:20:33,069
Thanks just the same.
356
00:20:36,823 --> 00:20:38,408
[Bell rings]
357
00:20:46,499 --> 00:20:48,293
Elmer: Hi.
358
00:20:48,460 --> 00:20:50,378
Hi.
Hi.
359
00:20:57,552 --> 00:20:59,429
Bunch of girls
over there.
360
00:20:59,596 --> 00:21:02,932
Bossy
Nellie tweed's
at it again.
361
00:21:03,099 --> 00:21:04,684
Who?
362
00:21:04,851 --> 00:21:06,311
Oh, that's
Laura's joke.
363
00:21:06,478 --> 00:21:08,646
Boss tweed was
a New York politician.
364
00:21:08,813 --> 00:21:11,900
Oh, I guess
I don't know about him.
365
00:21:12,066 --> 00:21:14,360
He got put in jail
for stealing votes...
366
00:21:14,527 --> 00:21:15,403
[Girls laughing]
367
00:21:15,570 --> 00:21:17,113
And that's
what Nellie's doing.
368
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,325
Laura, she's just
having a party.
369
00:21:21,409 --> 00:21:24,579
How come you aren't
over there?
370
00:21:24,746 --> 00:21:25,997
Because she
knows we're not
371
00:21:26,164 --> 00:21:27,665
going to vote
for her.
372
00:21:27,832 --> 00:21:31,336
But she doesn't
know that Mary's
going to win.
373
00:21:31,503 --> 00:21:32,754
Well, I hope you do.
374
00:21:34,422 --> 00:21:38,092
Well, you have
a good chance, too, Elmer.
375
00:21:38,259 --> 00:21:42,013
Nah. Kenny and Joel
are always doing
things like that.
376
00:21:42,180 --> 00:21:44,516
Nobody will
pay any mind.
377
00:21:44,682 --> 00:21:47,644
Wouldn't be too sure.
378
00:21:47,811 --> 00:21:49,938
You could vote
for yourself.
379
00:21:50,104 --> 00:21:51,981
Nah.
380
00:21:52,148 --> 00:21:54,400
One vote
wouldn't mean much.
381
00:21:57,237 --> 00:21:58,446
Well, we got to go.
382
00:21:58,613 --> 00:21:59,781
See you
in school.
383
00:21:59,948 --> 00:22:00,824
Bye.
384
00:22:00,990 --> 00:22:02,492
Bye.
Bye.
385
00:22:23,638 --> 00:22:27,100
Elmer's pretty sure
his squirrel's going
to have young 'uns.
386
00:22:27,267 --> 00:22:29,435
Figures...
387
00:22:29,602 --> 00:22:32,146
Price of seed's
going up again.
388
00:22:32,313 --> 00:22:34,774
Sam, is that
your way of saying
389
00:22:34,941 --> 00:22:37,986
we can't afford
to feed a few
baby squirrels?
390
00:22:38,152 --> 00:22:41,155
I didn't say that,
and I didn't mean that.
391
00:22:41,322 --> 00:22:43,992
He sets great store
by his animals.
392
00:22:44,158 --> 00:22:45,702
That he does.
393
00:22:45,869 --> 00:22:49,539
He gets along
better with them than
he does with people.
394
00:22:51,207 --> 00:22:54,252
It's not as bad
as it was in
Springfield.
395
00:22:54,419 --> 00:22:56,963
Yeah...
396
00:22:57,130 --> 00:22:59,924
I've got some doubts
about that, Ellen.
397
00:23:02,343 --> 00:23:05,179
We both have.
398
00:23:05,346 --> 00:23:06,472
So does Elmer.
399
00:23:06,639 --> 00:23:09,976
He doesn't expect to come
anywhere close to winning.
400
00:23:11,644 --> 00:23:16,065
He did ask me to fix him
a shirt for election day.
401
00:23:16,232 --> 00:23:19,193
Yeah, he thought that
you were going to take
one of my old ones
402
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:21,154
and cut it down to size.
403
00:23:21,321 --> 00:23:24,157
But you're making him
a brand-new one,
aren't you?
404
00:23:24,324 --> 00:23:26,200
The least I could do.
405
00:23:27,994 --> 00:23:29,787
Yeah...
406
00:23:29,954 --> 00:23:32,040
The very least.
407
00:23:39,923 --> 00:23:42,508
That's plenty,
darling, thank you.
408
00:23:42,675 --> 00:23:44,427
Who all's coming to
this party of yours?
409
00:23:44,594 --> 00:23:46,679
All the kids in
the school except
Nellie and Willie.
410
00:23:46,846 --> 00:23:48,389
Ah, turnabout's
fair play, huh?
411
00:23:48,556 --> 00:23:50,725
Nellie had her party to get
votes, now it's Mary's turn.
412
00:23:50,892 --> 00:23:51,851
That's
exactly right.
413
00:23:52,018 --> 00:23:54,395
Well, if I remember
my school days correctly,
414
00:23:54,562 --> 00:23:55,855
I'm afraid that
these two parties are
415
00:23:56,022 --> 00:23:57,523
just going to win
the election for Elmer.
416
00:23:57,690 --> 00:23:59,567
Oh, no, pa.
417
00:23:59,734 --> 00:24:01,527
Well, sure. You got
two girls running.
418
00:24:01,694 --> 00:24:03,029
The girls are going
to vote for the girls.
419
00:24:03,196 --> 00:24:05,323
That'll split their vote.
And all the boys
will vote for Elmer.
420
00:24:05,490 --> 00:24:06,824
And he'll win.
421
00:24:06,991 --> 00:24:09,035
That's why
Jim nominated me!
422
00:24:09,202 --> 00:24:10,954
I thought he was
being nice.
423
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:13,081
What do we
do now, pa?
424
00:24:13,247 --> 00:24:15,917
Well, afraid there's
not much you can do.
425
00:24:16,084 --> 00:24:17,919
Just be as nice as
you can to the voters,
426
00:24:18,086 --> 00:24:19,420
shake a lot of hands,
427
00:24:19,587 --> 00:24:22,423
and pray for a miracle.
428
00:24:42,110 --> 00:24:44,445
Come on!
Somebody's coming!
429
00:24:50,076 --> 00:24:51,202
Hi, Elmer!
430
00:24:51,369 --> 00:24:52,954
Hi, Elmer!
431
00:24:54,414 --> 00:24:55,623
Elmer: Hi.
432
00:25:01,462 --> 00:25:04,173
I brought some
roasting ears.
433
00:25:04,340 --> 00:25:05,842
Pa said I had to
434
00:25:06,009 --> 00:25:07,635
'cause you folks
don't know how much I eat.
435
00:25:07,802 --> 00:25:09,887
It wouldn't matter.
We got plenty.
436
00:25:10,054 --> 00:25:11,764
Yeah, all these
and more roasting
in the house.
437
00:25:11,931 --> 00:25:15,018
You--you expecting
lots of kids, huh?
438
00:25:15,184 --> 00:25:18,187
Yeah, quite a few,
I guess.
439
00:25:19,814 --> 00:25:21,315
Something I ought
to tell you.
440
00:25:21,482 --> 00:25:25,069
Bunch of girls coming
out here ahead of me...
441
00:25:25,236 --> 00:25:26,487
Well, they rounded
the corner,
442
00:25:26,654 --> 00:25:30,074
and Nellie and Willie
are sitting there
with a box full of--
443
00:25:30,241 --> 00:25:31,951
candy!
444
00:25:32,118 --> 00:25:35,538
She's buying votes again!
445
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,173
She sure makes it easy.
446
00:25:45,339 --> 00:25:48,009
The kids just
stayed with Nellie
and the candy, huh?
447
00:25:48,176 --> 00:25:53,723
She--she was promising cake
and stuff at her house.
448
00:25:53,890 --> 00:25:56,851
All--all the kids aren't
going to vote for her.
449
00:25:57,018 --> 00:25:58,561
I heard some say so.
450
00:26:00,146 --> 00:26:02,106
I hope they all
get sick.
451
00:26:02,273 --> 00:26:05,818
I guess you're not going
to have any party, huh?
452
00:26:07,904 --> 00:26:09,238
Sure we will.
453
00:26:09,405 --> 00:26:10,656
We don't need them.
454
00:26:10,823 --> 00:26:13,534
We'll have a party
of our own.
455
00:26:13,701 --> 00:26:16,287
Oh, good, I can eat
a whole bunch.
456
00:26:16,454 --> 00:26:17,663
Sure!
457
00:26:17,830 --> 00:26:19,832
Come on, Elmer,
I'll race you
to the house.
458
00:26:19,999 --> 00:26:22,043
Oh, no.
459
00:26:26,881 --> 00:26:29,801
"Election" is just
another word for
shouting match.
460
00:26:29,967 --> 00:26:32,011
Candidates will say
anything to get elected.
461
00:26:32,178 --> 00:26:34,013
They'll make you
promises and job offers
462
00:26:34,180 --> 00:26:35,556
and more promises.
463
00:26:35,723 --> 00:26:38,267
The last federal election,
Sam Tilden thought
he was gonna be president.
464
00:26:38,434 --> 00:26:40,895
All he needed was
one more electoral vote
to win it all.
465
00:26:41,062 --> 00:26:42,814
They used to have
soldiers, didn't they?
466
00:26:42,980 --> 00:26:44,065
That's right, darling,
federal troops
467
00:26:44,232 --> 00:26:45,566
just to get
an honest count.
468
00:26:45,733 --> 00:26:47,902
When it was all over,
Rutherford B. Hayes
was the new president.
469
00:26:48,069 --> 00:26:50,530
If Nellie is
counting, we could
use some troops.
470
00:26:50,696 --> 00:26:53,282
I think Miss Beadle
can handle it all right.
471
00:26:53,449 --> 00:26:54,992
We're supposed to
campaign this week,
472
00:26:55,159 --> 00:26:56,244
but I don't know
what to say.
473
00:26:56,410 --> 00:26:58,496
Well, what do you want to do
to improve the school?
474
00:26:58,663 --> 00:27:00,498
Have 4 recesses!
475
00:27:00,665 --> 00:27:01,457
[Laughter]
476
00:27:01,624 --> 00:27:02,583
That's plain silly.
477
00:27:02,750 --> 00:27:04,001
I'd vote for it.
478
00:27:04,168 --> 00:27:06,587
Well, I'm afraid
the school board
wouldn't go for it.
479
00:27:06,754 --> 00:27:07,588
Do the
candidates
480
00:27:07,755 --> 00:27:09,132
keep all
the promises
that they make?
481
00:27:09,298 --> 00:27:11,259
Oh, a few,
but not very many.
482
00:27:11,425 --> 00:27:12,426
Isn't that
kind of lying,
483
00:27:12,593 --> 00:27:14,428
making promises
you don't keep?
484
00:27:14,595 --> 00:27:16,347
Well, it's not
kind of like lying,
sweetheart.
485
00:27:16,514 --> 00:27:18,307
It's just plain old lying.
No doubt about it.
486
00:27:18,474 --> 00:27:21,477
Don't the candidates
call each other
names?
487
00:27:21,644 --> 00:27:23,062
Most of the time.
488
00:27:23,229 --> 00:27:26,023
I could think of
some good names
for Nellie Oleson.
489
00:27:26,190 --> 00:27:28,860
Hey, now, come on.
That just makes you
enemies, not friends.
490
00:27:29,026 --> 00:27:31,320
I think you two ought
to get yourselves
to bed now, too.
491
00:27:31,487 --> 00:27:32,655
It's getting late.
492
00:27:35,616 --> 00:27:38,786
I think I'll just list
the things I think will
make the school better
493
00:27:38,953 --> 00:27:39,912
and make my speech.
494
00:27:40,079 --> 00:27:41,581
That's a good idea,
and don't give up.
495
00:27:41,747 --> 00:27:43,332
Remember, Hayes won
by just one vote.
496
00:27:43,499 --> 00:27:44,292
OK.
497
00:27:44,458 --> 00:27:45,376
Good night.
Have a good sleep.
498
00:27:45,543 --> 00:27:46,377
Good night, pa.
499
00:27:46,544 --> 00:27:48,421
You too, sleepyhead.
Thanks for the help.
500
00:27:48,588 --> 00:27:49,297
I love you.
501
00:27:49,463 --> 00:27:51,507
Good night, pa.
Good night.
502
00:27:51,674 --> 00:27:53,134
Pa?
Yeah.
503
00:27:53,301 --> 00:27:55,178
You know what would help
more than anything?
504
00:27:55,344 --> 00:27:58,598
If Oleson's mercantile
ran clear out of candy.
505
00:27:58,764 --> 00:28:01,225
Go on,
get yourself to bed.
506
00:28:01,392 --> 00:28:03,477
Good night, pa.
Good night, darling.
507
00:28:43,476 --> 00:28:45,311
Hey, Elmer.
508
00:28:45,478 --> 00:28:46,687
Why, I've been thinking.
509
00:28:46,854 --> 00:28:48,940
How are you going
to win the election?
510
00:28:49,106 --> 00:28:50,816
Got to get yourself
to that stump over there,
511
00:28:50,983 --> 00:28:53,152
hop up on it,
and tell everyone
to vote for you.
512
00:28:54,111 --> 00:28:55,363
No...
513
00:28:55,529 --> 00:28:57,323
Come on, we said
we were going to help
you win the election,
514
00:28:57,490 --> 00:28:58,366
and we're going to do it.
515
00:28:58,532 --> 00:29:00,743
Right this way,
Mr. Candidate.
516
00:29:06,874 --> 00:29:09,252
Come on, everybody.
Look at this show.
517
00:29:09,418 --> 00:29:10,378
Watch this.
518
00:29:10,544 --> 00:29:11,712
You tell them,
Mr. Candidate.
519
00:29:11,879 --> 00:29:13,256
Yeah, tell them
what you'll do
to get their vote.
520
00:29:13,422 --> 00:29:14,715
Will he eat
worms?
521
00:29:14,882 --> 00:29:15,883
Joel: One worm
for every vote.
522
00:29:16,050 --> 00:29:17,718
He did it before,
and he'll do it
again...
523
00:29:17,885 --> 00:29:20,471
Stand on his head,
too. Come on, Elmer,
show them.
524
00:29:20,638 --> 00:29:22,014
All right,
up you come.
525
00:29:22,181 --> 00:29:23,641
[Laughter]
You know what else
he'll do?
526
00:29:23,808 --> 00:29:24,767
Vote for Elmer here,
527
00:29:24,934 --> 00:29:26,060
and he'll come
running when
you whistle.
528
00:29:26,227 --> 00:29:27,895
He'll scratch your back
or tie your shoe.
529
00:29:28,062 --> 00:29:29,397
Or he'll do
your problems.
530
00:29:29,563 --> 00:29:31,315
You'll get a zero,
like he does, but
he'll still do them.
531
00:29:31,482 --> 00:29:34,026
That will be quite enough!
532
00:29:37,321 --> 00:29:38,948
What are you
doing?
533
00:29:39,115 --> 00:29:40,449
Just campaigning,
Miss Beadle.
534
00:29:40,616 --> 00:29:43,244
That kind of campaigning
we can do without,
535
00:29:43,411 --> 00:29:45,538
and if I hear
one more word out
of either one of you,
536
00:29:45,705 --> 00:29:47,790
you're going
to stay after school.
537
00:29:51,168 --> 00:29:53,838
All right, recess is over.
You can go in.
538
00:30:37,965 --> 00:30:39,800
Sam...
539
00:30:39,967 --> 00:30:42,636
I didn't
hear you come in.
540
00:30:42,803 --> 00:30:44,305
That's
a good-looking
shirt.
541
00:30:44,472 --> 00:30:46,974
Election day tomorrow.
542
00:30:47,141 --> 00:30:49,060
Figured he ought
to look his best.
543
00:30:50,519 --> 00:30:52,563
Where is he?
544
00:30:52,730 --> 00:30:54,523
Feeding his animals.
545
00:30:56,108 --> 00:30:58,361
The sick strays.
546
00:30:59,612 --> 00:31:02,365
Yeah.
547
00:31:11,832 --> 00:31:15,086
Miss Beadle...
548
00:31:15,252 --> 00:31:17,338
Fellow opponents,
549
00:31:17,505 --> 00:31:20,132
classmates...
550
00:31:21,175 --> 00:31:23,219
I...
551
00:31:24,512 --> 00:31:27,431
Miss Beadle,
552
00:31:27,598 --> 00:31:31,394
fellow opponents,
classmates...
553
00:31:32,978 --> 00:31:36,232
I'm very proud
to be nominated.
554
00:31:39,318 --> 00:31:41,445
I hope...
555
00:31:42,738 --> 00:31:45,866
Sam:
Practicing, huh?
556
00:31:46,033 --> 00:31:48,702
Yeah, trying.
557
00:31:48,869 --> 00:31:51,956
Hmm...
558
00:31:52,123 --> 00:31:55,876
Before you do any
more speechmaking,
559
00:31:56,043 --> 00:31:58,212
we got to have
a little talk.
560
00:32:00,381 --> 00:32:02,174
Now, what were
those two boys
561
00:32:02,341 --> 00:32:05,094
doing to you today
in the schoolyard?
562
00:32:09,432 --> 00:32:10,975
Hmm?
563
00:32:12,017 --> 00:32:17,231
Um...they was
just making jokes.
564
00:32:17,398 --> 00:32:19,525
Yeah,
your friends...
565
00:32:19,692 --> 00:32:23,237
The two that were
going to help
you get elected.
566
00:32:23,404 --> 00:32:25,322
Uh...yeah.
567
00:32:25,489 --> 00:32:28,075
Well, I heard the part
about you eating worms,
568
00:32:28,242 --> 00:32:31,787
and enough more to know
that they're not your friends.
569
00:32:33,164 --> 00:32:35,791
They didn't
mean no harm.
570
00:32:35,958 --> 00:32:38,711
[Sighs]
571
00:32:41,839 --> 00:32:44,216
That's your idea,
572
00:32:44,383 --> 00:32:46,051
and mine's different.
573
00:32:47,761 --> 00:32:50,014
Now, somebody
fed you worms.
574
00:32:50,181 --> 00:32:51,932
Now, who was it?
575
00:32:57,146 --> 00:32:59,315
Now, tell me, son.
576
00:32:59,482 --> 00:33:02,318
You're not going to
get in any trouble
577
00:33:02,485 --> 00:33:03,903
unless you lie.
578
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,032
It...
579
00:33:08,199 --> 00:33:10,284
Look, it was Joel.
580
00:33:10,451 --> 00:33:13,746
Yeah, that's
what I thought.
581
00:33:13,913 --> 00:33:16,248
You know,
582
00:33:16,415 --> 00:33:17,666
they didn't
nominate you
583
00:33:17,833 --> 00:33:21,170
because they thought
you could get elected.
584
00:33:21,337 --> 00:33:24,465
They're just
picking on you.
585
00:33:24,632 --> 00:33:29,970
The way that--the way
that whole flock
586
00:33:30,137 --> 00:33:33,015
pecks at that
little chicken.
587
00:33:33,182 --> 00:33:35,309
[Sighs]
588
00:33:35,476 --> 00:33:38,270
I'm going to talk
to their parents
in the morning.
589
00:33:38,437 --> 00:33:40,731
Pa, please!
590
00:33:40,898 --> 00:33:43,609
Please don't.
591
00:33:43,776 --> 00:33:46,570
It'll just make
things worse.
592
00:33:49,949 --> 00:33:53,077
What they're doing
to you now...
593
00:33:53,244 --> 00:33:55,704
How could it be worse?
594
00:33:57,414 --> 00:34:01,794
Please...
It just will.
595
00:34:03,754 --> 00:34:05,881
All right.
596
00:34:06,048 --> 00:34:09,969
But you're going
to tell Miss Beadle
597
00:34:10,135 --> 00:34:13,347
that you're not
running for anything...
598
00:34:13,514 --> 00:34:16,267
Now or ever.
599
00:34:16,433 --> 00:34:18,978
Now, you got that?
600
00:34:19,144 --> 00:34:20,729
Yes, sir.
601
00:34:50,342 --> 00:34:53,721
There. Looks real nice,
if I do say it myself.
602
00:34:53,887 --> 00:34:55,723
It's a good-looking
shirt.
603
00:34:55,889 --> 00:34:57,808
I didn't even
know you were
making it.
604
00:34:57,975 --> 00:34:59,226
Little enough.
605
00:34:59,393 --> 00:35:01,895
We couldn't have you
wearing an old shirt
on election day.
606
00:35:02,062 --> 00:35:04,398
Yeah, ma.
607
00:35:04,565 --> 00:35:07,735
You remember
what I told you.
608
00:35:07,901 --> 00:35:09,194
Yes, sir.
609
00:35:25,794 --> 00:35:27,921
And what was
that about?
610
00:35:28,088 --> 00:35:31,133
A talk we had
in the barn.
611
00:35:54,281 --> 00:35:57,117
Kenny: We got to do that
test for Miss Beadle.
612
00:35:57,284 --> 00:35:59,244
Joel:
Yeah, I know.
613
00:36:04,333 --> 00:36:05,459
If there'd been
a bird on that branch,
614
00:36:05,626 --> 00:36:06,627
I'd have
killed him dead.
615
00:36:06,794 --> 00:36:08,921
Aw, you'd
have missed him,
same as always.
616
00:36:15,636 --> 00:36:18,013
Hey, look
who's over there.
617
00:36:19,390 --> 00:36:21,767
Let's go.
618
00:36:26,105 --> 00:36:27,898
Hi, Elmer.
619
00:36:28,065 --> 00:36:31,819
Elmer, you look
mighty fancy for
your speech today.
620
00:36:31,985 --> 00:36:33,320
I ain't making
any speeches,
621
00:36:33,487 --> 00:36:34,780
and I ain't
going to be
in the election.
622
00:36:34,947 --> 00:36:36,949
Are you mad because
we was funning you some?
623
00:36:37,116 --> 00:36:40,661
A little.
My pa was mad.
624
00:36:40,828 --> 00:36:42,454
He was
riding by,
and he saw it.
625
00:36:42,621 --> 00:36:44,623
You told him we was
only joking, didn't you?
626
00:36:44,790 --> 00:36:47,376
I told him.
627
00:36:47,543 --> 00:36:51,088
But if you don't run,
we ain't got a candidate.
628
00:36:52,965 --> 00:36:54,675
Find somebody else.
629
00:36:54,842 --> 00:36:57,720
We can't.
It's too late.
630
00:36:59,346 --> 00:37:01,140
Well, you can
eat worms at recess,
631
00:37:01,306 --> 00:37:05,018
and you can tell
Miss Beadle you want to run.
632
00:37:07,438 --> 00:37:09,732
You know something,
you tell pretty
good jokes yourself.
633
00:37:09,898 --> 00:37:13,652
Come on, Elmer.
We got to get you elected.
634
00:37:13,819 --> 00:37:15,028
Not me.
635
00:37:15,195 --> 00:37:18,407
You don't
want a girl for
president, do you?
636
00:37:19,408 --> 00:37:21,702
I don't care.
637
00:37:21,869 --> 00:37:25,122
Well, all right,
if you don't want
to be president,
638
00:37:25,289 --> 00:37:26,165
that's fine with us.
639
00:37:26,331 --> 00:37:27,791
Sure is.
We're your friends.
640
00:37:27,958 --> 00:37:30,711
Yeah, we're your friends.
We understand.
641
00:37:30,878 --> 00:37:32,421
You do?
642
00:37:32,588 --> 00:37:34,381
Sure, that's what
friends are for.
643
00:37:34,548 --> 00:37:36,884
Come on, we'll
walk together.
644
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,982
Hey, Elmer,
seen the new piglets
at Stinson's?
645
00:37:52,149 --> 00:37:52,941
Uh-uh.
646
00:37:53,108 --> 00:37:54,067
Cute as can be.
647
00:37:54,234 --> 00:37:55,861
One of them's got
a bad leg, though.
648
00:37:56,028 --> 00:37:56,945
Think so?
649
00:37:57,112 --> 00:37:59,031
Maybe we ought to check
on the way to school.
650
00:37:59,198 --> 00:38:01,116
All right.
651
00:38:06,371 --> 00:38:08,499
[Pigs squealing]
652
00:38:17,257 --> 00:38:18,801
Well, what do
you think?
653
00:38:18,967 --> 00:38:20,803
Well...
654
00:38:22,221 --> 00:38:24,431
I don't see any of
them with a bad leg.
655
00:38:24,598 --> 00:38:26,475
Take a closer look.
656
00:38:31,688 --> 00:38:33,941
[Pigs squealing]
657
00:38:34,107 --> 00:38:36,568

look at him!

[Boys laughing]
659
00:38:39,613 --> 00:38:40,447
Look at him.
660
00:38:40,614 --> 00:38:41,949
Don't be late
for school.
661
00:38:42,115 --> 00:38:44,535
[Boys laughing]
662
00:39:01,385 --> 00:39:04,596
I've been honored
by the nomination.
663
00:39:04,763 --> 00:39:06,807
If elected,
I'll do my best
664
00:39:06,974 --> 00:39:08,725
to make our school
a better one.
665
00:39:10,435 --> 00:39:12,896
My pa says campaign promises
aren't worth much,
666
00:39:13,063 --> 00:39:14,731
so I won't make any.
667
00:39:17,276 --> 00:39:18,777
If you do vote for me,
668
00:39:18,944 --> 00:39:21,196
I'll appreciate it.
669
00:39:22,823 --> 00:39:25,576
Uh...
670
00:39:25,742 --> 00:39:26,827
Thank you.
671
00:39:26,994 --> 00:39:29,121
[Applause]
672
00:39:31,415 --> 00:39:32,374
Thank you, Mary.
673
00:39:32,541 --> 00:39:34,751
Nellie, I believe
you're next.
674
00:39:37,462 --> 00:39:41,091
Miss Beadle, classmates,
fellow Americans,
675
00:39:41,258 --> 00:39:45,596
it is my pleasure and honor
to stand before you today
676
00:39:45,762 --> 00:39:48,056
as candidate
to be your president.
677
00:39:48,223 --> 00:39:51,393
There are many reasons why
you should vote for me...
678
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,563
One more reason
to punch her
in the nose.
679
00:40:12,873 --> 00:40:15,125
And finally,
you should vote for me
680
00:40:15,292 --> 00:40:17,878
because my mother will
give a party if I win...
681
00:40:18,045 --> 00:40:20,297
Cake and ice cream,
all you can eat,
682
00:40:20,464 --> 00:40:22,716
and everyone who
votes for me is invited.
683
00:40:22,883 --> 00:40:23,884
Thank you.
684
00:40:24,051 --> 00:40:26,136

[Students giggle]
687
00:40:33,769 --> 00:40:35,604
What happened?
688
00:40:38,357 --> 00:40:39,733
I--it's nothing.
689
00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:42,361
I slipped and fell.
690
00:40:42,527 --> 00:40:43,612
Did the other boys
691
00:40:43,779 --> 00:40:45,822
have something
to do with this?
692
00:40:45,989 --> 00:40:48,867
I--I can't say.
693
00:40:50,535 --> 00:40:53,038
Elmer, look. I want you
to go home, clean up,
694
00:40:53,205 --> 00:40:54,998
you can come back
and make your speech,
695
00:40:55,165 --> 00:40:57,334
and we'll vote
this afternoon.
696
00:40:58,835 --> 00:41:00,212
It's all right,
Miss Beadle.
697
00:41:00,379 --> 00:41:03,924
I'm not running
for nothing.
698
00:41:04,091 --> 00:41:06,385
My pa
don't want me to.
699
00:41:06,551 --> 00:41:08,428
Besides,

00:41:08,595 --> 00:41:10,555
me running
for class president,
701
00:41:10,722 --> 00:41:12,265
we all know
that's a joke.

00:41:13,684 --> 00:41:15,686
Miss Beadle: Class!
704
00:41:15,852 --> 00:41:17,437
Go ahead and laugh.
705
00:41:17,604 --> 00:41:20,774
I know I'm not
smart like you.
706
00:41:20,941 --> 00:41:21,900
I don't even know
707
00:41:22,067 --> 00:41:25,028
what a class president's
supposed to do.
708
00:41:25,195 --> 00:41:27,322
But I--but I
709
00:41:27,489 --> 00:41:30,117
know what's
right and wrong,
710
00:41:30,283 --> 00:41:31,952
and it ain't right
711
00:41:32,119 --> 00:41:34,162
for big kids to be
picking on little kids
712
00:41:34,329 --> 00:41:35,622
just 'cause they think
713
00:41:35,789 --> 00:41:38,875
it's fun
to hurt somebody.
714
00:41:39,042 --> 00:41:42,838
And it ain't right
to give someone something
715
00:41:43,005 --> 00:41:44,923
to make them vote for you.
716
00:41:45,090 --> 00:41:46,675
Just because
717
00:41:46,842 --> 00:41:49,386
some folks got
more money
than others.
718
00:41:49,553 --> 00:41:53,015
It ain't right
to make fun of people...
719
00:41:53,181 --> 00:41:55,892
Or push them in the mud
720
00:41:56,059 --> 00:41:59,604
to make them look silly.
721
00:42:01,398 --> 00:42:05,318
My--my mother
made me this shirt
722
00:42:05,485 --> 00:42:06,820
because she loves me.
723
00:42:06,987 --> 00:42:10,198
You probably all
think that's dumb.
724
00:42:11,324 --> 00:42:13,410
But that's what's
wrong around here.
725
00:42:13,577 --> 00:42:17,414
People don't pay no mind
to other people's carings.
726
00:42:19,499 --> 00:42:23,211
I hope whoever gets
to be class president
727
00:42:23,378 --> 00:42:25,964
sees to it that
the little kids
728
00:42:26,131 --> 00:42:30,177
aren't picked on or hurt,
729
00:42:30,343 --> 00:42:32,679
because it's not right.
730
00:42:32,846 --> 00:42:35,515
It's just not right.
731
00:42:41,521 --> 00:42:44,566
Thank you, Elmer.
732
00:42:52,866 --> 00:42:56,745
Mary, the speechmaking
is over.
733
00:42:57,871 --> 00:43:00,707
I don't want to make
a speech, Miss Beadle.
734
00:43:00,874 --> 00:43:04,086
I want to withdraw
from the election.
735
00:43:05,253 --> 00:43:08,715
I don't want anyone
to vote for me.
736
00:43:08,882 --> 00:43:11,510
The best president
this class could have
737
00:43:11,676 --> 00:43:13,261
is Elmer Dobkins.
738
00:43:18,809 --> 00:43:21,520
I know you're
not supposed to run...
739
00:43:21,686 --> 00:43:23,814
But you have to.
740
00:43:23,980 --> 00:43:25,816
'Cause you're the only one
that really knows
741
00:43:25,982 --> 00:43:29,277
what a president
should do.
742
00:43:29,444 --> 00:43:32,447
I know your pa
would understand.
743
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,576
Please, Elmer...
744
00:43:38,161 --> 00:43:39,371
Will you run?
745
00:44:01,935 --> 00:44:05,605
I think it's
time to vote.
746
00:44:13,947 --> 00:44:15,949
Elmer Dobkins.
747
00:44:21,788 --> 00:44:23,999
Elmer Dobkins.
748
00:44:26,251 --> 00:44:28,378
Well, it looks like
we have a two-way tie.
749
00:44:28,545 --> 00:44:31,590
Can't be. We're supposed
to have 25 votes.
750
00:44:31,756 --> 00:44:33,341
That's right.
We'll have to wait.
751
00:44:33,508 --> 00:44:35,427
My brother went
to the outhouse.
752
00:44:35,594 --> 00:44:36,845
Oh...
753
00:44:42,267 --> 00:44:45,562
Miss Beadle: Willie,
you didn't vote.
754
00:44:45,729 --> 00:44:46,605
No, ma'am.
755
00:44:46,771 --> 00:44:48,940
Well, would you mind?
We're waiting.
756
00:45:08,251 --> 00:45:11,296
Laura...
757
00:45:17,010 --> 00:45:19,221
Elmer Dobkins!
758
00:45:19,387 --> 00:45:20,972
Willie,
how could you?
759
00:45:21,139 --> 00:45:22,807
'Cause you're always
picking on me,
760
00:45:22,974 --> 00:45:25,518
that's why, and
Elmer won't let you!
761
00:45:25,685 --> 00:45:27,145
Aah!
762
00:45:27,312 --> 00:45:29,314
Laura:
Hurray for Elmer!
763
00:45:29,481 --> 00:45:31,566
[Applause]
764
00:45:48,792 --> 00:45:50,043
Pa!
Pa!
765
00:45:50,210 --> 00:45:51,544
Pa, wait till
we tell you!
766
00:45:51,711 --> 00:45:53,213
Take it easy,
tell me what?
767
00:45:53,380 --> 00:45:54,381
Elmer won.
768
00:45:54,547 --> 00:45:56,466
He should have. He made
the finest speech ever.
769
00:45:56,633 --> 00:45:57,842
Elmer?
770
00:45:58,009 --> 00:46:00,345
Even with
all the candy in
Oleson's mercantile,
771
00:46:00,512 --> 00:46:01,930
Nellie couldn't
beat him.
772
00:46:07,894 --> 00:46:10,188
See you later,
Elmer.
773
00:46:10,355 --> 00:46:12,774
Yeah.
774
00:46:15,485 --> 00:46:18,280
Excuse me.
775
00:46:52,439 --> 00:46:56,401
Congratulations,
Mr. President.
776
00:47:14,085 --> 00:47:16,588
Come on.
777
00:47:16,755 --> 00:47:21,259
Let's go home and tell
your ma about this, huh?
