You just pretend There's no camera There at all?

That's right.

Actually, you're going to really Enjoy yourselves. Honestly.

The first place, You don't have to carry

The show all by yourselves.

Because there'll probably be

Some other firemen there.

There might be A panel discussion

Before the demonstration.That's not true.

We are the show. We are the show.

He's a moaner and a groaner. That's all he is. See you guys later.

Mmm, thank you. How did you get down?

Oh, they fixed The ferris wheel.

You should see how perfect It's running now.

You want to go up again?[both laughing]

John: all right, this is How we start off the show.

We start it off By lighting the flame,

Just like the olympics.

[chuckling]

Okay. Let's not Put those there.

All right. Chet, why don't You get over there

And, marco, Why don't you get there?

Well, why can't we Just stay right here?

Well, because.

They have cameras, right? They usually have two cameras.

And we'd like for you guys To be the cameras,

Then we can Play to you, okay?

But, john, why can't We just stay right here?

Because, marco, We want to rehearse.

Look, do you want To help us or not?

Do you want us To look like fools On television?

Look, do you want us To make all firemen Look like fools?

Chet: okay, where do You want us?

Okay, chet, You be right there,

Marco, you be Right there.

Okay, now you both Are cameras, okay?

Right.Right.

All right, This is gonna be good.

No, no, no. Not that close.

Marco, Dolly to your left.

"Dolly"?

Yeah, dolly. That's show business terms.

When a camera makes a move They call it a "Dolly."

And you dolly To your right, okay?

Little bit more over.

John: Now, when a camera is on,

A red light usually goes on, Right?

So, since we don't Have red lights,

Hold up your hand like that

To let us know Which one is on.

Good, marco,

But we want to start off With chet, okay?

Chet, hold up your hand. Hold up your hand.

Okay. Good. Now, that means

You're the camera That's on.

He's the camera that's on, So we play to him, okay?

All right.

Ladies and gentlemen, Most materials are flammable.

The more finely divided The materials are

The more of a hazard They become.

Yeah. For instance, I take this Piece of wood here

And I hold it Over the fire, like this,

It's not going to ignite.

Now, the reason Is not... [clears throat] Roy.

[whispering] This camera's on. This camera.

I'm trying to make An important point here.

Yeah, I know. I know. I can appreciate that.

Yeah. But, see, if this Camera's on and you're Playing to that camera

Then you Look like a fool.

[sighing]

Okay.

What I'm trying to say is, If the flame now is too low,

The alcohol flame, If we increase the flame, If we bring it...

Why don't you tell them That it takes between

350 degrees And 500 degrees

Before it'll Give off vapors.

And actually, In reality,

Most fires Are vapor fires.

Most fires Are vapor fires.

For instance, I take this Piece of wood here and I hold it over the flame.

Okay. This thin, little Piece of wood ignites In just a few seconds.

Very good. Okay.

Then you take The sawdust,

Place it in here,

Place it over The same flame

And the results Are instantaneous.

What's the matter With this thing?

[chuckles] Oh. See?

Now, the same thing,

We can carry just A step further here

With the wood dust, okay?

Take the wood dust And we hold it near The flame and...

Johnny takes the...

And takes this and we Provide a little air

To blow it over the top Of the flame.

The results are dramatic.

See? You're getting...

You're getting Near explosion there...

Right.

[clears throat]

What are you stopping for?

I forgot what comes next.

Most holds true... It holds true with Most materials...

It holds true with most... It holds true with Most materials.

For instance, if you take A vacuum cleaner bag

And you throw it Into a fireplace...

[imitates explosion] You get an explosion.

Just like you saw Right there. Right.

And if you take that Same vacuum cleaner bag

Wrap it in some newspaper.

Wrap it in some newspaper And throw it in the trash bin,

You've prevented a fire.

The windup.The windup.

So, to wind this up...

We usually tell the guys That work at The sawdust mills

Or at the mattress factory

That they have the same kind Of wood dust around them All the time

And if they're not careful, The same kind of thing Can happen.

Right. And also, If you're sweeping up All the debris

And you put it In a trash bin,

You're removing fuel And preventing a fire.

You're not on yet. You're not on.

And preventing a fire...

You're not on yet.

I just want To ask a question.

What?Are you finished?

Well... Almost. Yeah, almost.

That wasn't bad.

John: wasn't bad?

Well, we're not really Through.

We still have the Aerosol demonstration.

Did you guys read These ram statistics?

Well, I doubt if we Can make it early.

No, on weekends, frank's Out in the yard with The tomatoes and geraniums

From morning Till all hours.

Well, yeah.

No, but he's At the office all week.

On weekends, He relaxes by gardening.

Just a second, lynne.

Corey?

Corey, lunch time, dear.

I'll have to go get him. Talk to you later, lynne.

Corey. Didn't you hear me Calling, honey? It's lunch time.

Corey?

What's the matter?

Oh, my god!

John: hey, cap. Do you want to see what We got worked out here?

Sure would. Yeah.

Okay. You missed The first half,

But you can get in On the second half.

Okay?All right.

Okay. Why don't you just Stand over here then?

Oh, this is fine.Yeah, that's good.

That's a better place To see it, too, anyway.

Okay.Well...

Here's a can of hairspray.

Now, as you know, aerosol cans Are very popular today.

If I take the can Of hairspray...

What are you doing?

I was going to spray Into the...

Yeah, I know you were.

But you're missing A whole step.

See, if you go right into The demonstration then,

You know, You miss the effect.

Oh, I didn't build.

Yeah, right. Just do it As we rehearsed it, okay?

All right. Cap...

Fellows. Ladies and gentlemen,

As you know, aerosol cans Are very popular today.

But a lot of people Fail to read the labels.

Caution. Flammable.

Right. They decorate The cans very pretty,

To match your home decor.

But they don't realize that This stuff is very dangerous.

And, if you're next To an electric heater,

Or you're smoking, And you happen to use A can of hairspray...

Like that...

You're wearing your hair A little shorter.

[chuckling]

And take this bug bomb, For instance.

Yeah. This is Gonna get them.

Yeah, really. Okay. You find ants In your house.

You spray the sink.

You spray the cabinet.

You spray across the floor.

Towards the hot water Heater or the stove.

Any spark, Even a pilot light...

And you have Instant flame.

So, you may get rid Of your ants

And you may also Get rid of your kitchen.

Well, looks to me like you got Your act together pretty well.

Yeah.

Didn't those jokes work?

He seems to be Holding his own.

What made him so sick?

Parathion.

Parathion?

What's that?

It's an insecticide.

It's very potent.

It's only sold For commercial use.

How did you get it, Mr. Bartell?

[stammers] Uh, well, My brother's a foreman

On a corporate farm In central california.

We visited him A couple of years ago

And I brought some back.

I thought it'd be helpful.

I grow a lot of things In that yard of mine.

How did corey Get his hands on it?

It was just on a shelf In the garage.

Like I said, It's very potent.

Just like disinfectant Or rat poison.

It just never occurred to us That he'd get at it.

Well, with small children,

Every garage, every garden shed, Every cabinet under the sink

Is a potential life hazard.

Children are curious. They'll explore, they'll taste.

And sometimes they die.

Well, from now on, Anything in the house Or yard that

Is a danger to our boy Will be put out of his reach.

The parathion won't Be returned to you.

It will be destroyed. If everything goes as expected,

Corey should Have a complete recovery.
