All language subtitles for The Immoral Mr. Teas 1959

For years man has retreated
back to nature to make peace with himself.

Back where the sight of greenery
against an azure blue sky,

the sweet, fresh, salt smell of the tide
gently kissing the sandy shore,

the peaceful birds gathering to keep company
to a bit of seaweed from some distant land.

the ancient rocks standing immobile against
the horizon,

the gently bubbling brook running down
the back of a friendly mountain

caressed by the heavenly leaves of a
gracefully bending tree

can help him forget

the mad, impetuous, senseless, driving
buzzle of the city with its traffic,

its sirens and its speed.

Modern living is driving an ambitious
civilization

ever forward to higher buildings,

automatic autos,

more potent pills,

bigger stomach aches,

quicker liquor,

faster freeways and tighter underwear.

But the common man,

the simple, uncluttered fellow
who merely lives from day to day,

what is he doing?

What is he thinking?

And where, I ask you,
where is he going?

THE IMMORAL MR. TEAS

Who knows what mission the average man
may set upon as he greets each new day?

Who knows what fate may befall him
in this helter skelter world in which we live?

The common man
on a mission

together with an unobtrusive,
inconspicuous brown suitcase

strapped to a bycicle.

Delivering radio-active isotopes

to speed research that will make our
country invincible against enemy attack?

Or information, perhaps, that will aid
our vast system of counter-espionage?

Modern man must find his place in society
and diligently pursue his objective,

never wavering from the appointed task
for which he has been chosen

never shirking his duty or letting outside
interferences deter him.

REST ROOM

Modern man must, in the course of
his endeavors,

always keep his eyes on the future

for who knows how the windy zappers
of fate may twist and cross two lives?

But what does man think of when
the toils of day are ended?

His mind can turn to nobler thoughts:

books, music, poetry,
companionship.

And so ends another day,

another seeming eternity
in the complex scheme of things.

But all work and no play makes
Willy a dull boy.

In fact, it makes anybody dull.

That's why you'll find modern man

leaving the hustle of the city to escape
where the gentler sounds of nature

beckon him to rest a while
and seriously ponder his problems

unhindered by the bothersome distractions
that ordinarily harass him.

And so ends a day of meditation,
a day of communion with nature.

Tomorrow the grind of labor will be lessened,
perhaps, by the fond memories that will linger.

Tomorrow,
another dull day like the last.

Another dull day like the last?

Or has the pressure of modern living
begun its insidious task

of breaking down the moral fiber
of our indomitable Mr. Teas?

Psychiatry. A friendly oasis in the
vast desert of masculine frustration.

The minute examination of the mind
to discover the underlying mental causes

producing certain mental and
nervous disorders.

But, as difficult as is modern civilization,

equally as forceful is the spirit
of modern medicine.

A few words of friendly assurance
and once again the step is forceful

and Mr. Teas is on with
newfound confidence.

Occasionally, of course, the need
for more than one day's rest will arrive,

a pleasant prescription easily and
pleasantly administered.

Perhaps a different locale will suffice
in bringing peace to the fevered brow.

Solitude is undoubtedly the answer.

Exercise, the use of the proper muscles
and fresh air to clear the action of celebration.

If the thoughts of the working day
continue to plague one,

concentrating on random facts
is occasionally helpful.

Psychiatrists have stated that relaxation
is aided by remembering useless figures,

numbers, dates and places.

Doctors have stated for many years
that sunshine, in measured quantities,

has a very beneficial effect on
the human body.

Sunshine also is important
to photosynthesis

and evaporation, which eventually
leads to rainfall.

The density of water is 64.4 pounds
per cubic foot.

Water was one of the most important
earlier means of transportation.

The sea has, for years, fascinated the
roving instincts in man.

All kinds of cargo can be shipped by water.

In fact, the United States exports more
tonnage per year than any other country.

Equally as varied as the cargo

is the different types of power
available for propelling watercraft.

Many famous discoveries were made
by seagoing men.

Columbus, Magellan were two.
But there are many others.

For it is a natural instinct in man
to discover and conquer,

to plant his staff in new soil

and acquaint himself with
the natives of the area.

Bathing, a custom that we all accept today,

was frowned upon, strangely enough,
by our early forebears.

They thought it was vain and sinful.

Now we all take pleasure in this
pleasant pastime.

Rubber was invented in 1873 and has
been used in a variety of ways since then.

More than one sturdy chassis has been
supported by the dependable strength of rubber.

Yes, man has come a long way since he
spent his time idling uselessly in the trees.

And, too, he's progressed tremendously
since he climbed down from the trees

and trod uncertainly
on the shores and waters

with the flora and the fauna,
the mammals and the reptiles.

Speaking of reptiles, there are many
varieties of poisonous snakes.

Most of them are found on the dark continent,
but we have a few at home, too.

The outboard motor has brought a renewed
interest in water sports in this country.

Every year more and more marine enthusiasts
flock to the shores of our lakes and streams

for exercise and helpful relaxation.

The guitar, as we know it today,

came about as a result of many
types of earlier stringed instruments.

There was first the harp, the lute,
then the zither and mandolin.

The guitar is a very sensitive instrument,
with G being the third string,

and is played over a system of frets.

Sensitive men have been fretting over
G-strings for years.

Advertisers have found that the women
of America are keenly interested

in the type of soap they use.

In fact, the men of America have a keen
interest in the product and how it is used also.

The fish that got away.
A small frustration.

Yet frustrations must be relieved
or they can grow.

That was a fish, wasn't it?

Well? Wasn't it?

Still confused, perhaps?

More random facts to ease the mind:

Communion with nature simply must
bring relief, mustn't it?

Of course it must!

The lingerie manufacturers have made
a fortune in recent years

with innovations in styling
and new synthetic silks and rayons.

Women are deeply interested
in their undergarments.

As a matter of fact,
who isn't?

If frustration persists,

modern man can at least be thankful
for the advances in modern psychiatry.

On the other hand, some men
just enjoy being sick.
