00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:42,537
BOY: Of course we will. It's
the good old river, isn't it?

2
00:00:42,575 --> 00:00:44,509
GIRL: I really want to see some
ducklings. They're so sweet.

3
00:00:44,544 --> 00:00:46,205
BOY: Look! Look!
There's a coot.

4
00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:47,975
GIRL: I think you'll find
that's a mallard.

5
00:00:48,014 --> 00:00:50,710
Mallards always have
a green neck and yellow beaks.

6
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:52,718
BOY: Only the drakes,
cleverpants.

7
00:00:52,752 --> 00:00:55,721
Lady ducks don't have green
necks. They're girls.

8
00:00:55,755 --> 00:00:58,883
GIRL: What a horrible thing
to say. Girls are nice.

9
00:00:58,925 --> 00:00:59,983
BOY: Girls? Rubbish!

10
00:01:00,026 --> 00:01:01,015
WOMAN: Edward!

[Whistle blows]

12
00:01:21,948 --> 00:01:25,714
BOY: Look, look!
More ducks! I told you so.

13
00:01:25,752 --> 00:01:27,014
GIRL: They're searching
for food, poor things.

14
00:01:27,053 --> 00:01:28,645
BOY: Look, a kingfisher!

15
00:01:28,688 --> 00:01:30,519
GIRL: What about
the poor ducks?

16
00:01:30,557 --> 00:01:35,119
Emma, you're always bothering
about the animals.

17
00:01:35,161 --> 00:01:37,959
Don't their houses get washed
away when the boats go past?

18
00:01:37,997 --> 00:01:39,555
BOY: Don't be silly, Emma.

19
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:41,863
The water goes right in their
front door.

20
00:01:41,901 --> 00:01:43,596
How do you know?

21
00:01:43,636 --> 00:01:45,934
Well, as a matter of fact,
we both know.

22
00:01:45,972 --> 00:01:47,496
Don't we, Alexandra?

23
00:01:48,608 --> 00:01:53,602
TOGETHER: The mole had been
working very hard.

24
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:57,583
It's all to do with the river.

25
00:01:57,617 --> 00:02:01,075
And a certain Mole and Rat
and Mr. Badger.

26
00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:03,589
GIRLS: Alexandra!
And Mr. Toad.

27
00:02:05,291 --> 00:02:08,454
GIRL: You must imagine
what you can't see.

28
00:02:08,495 --> 00:02:11,931
And that there are voices to
hear, for any that speak.

29
00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:13,159
That's right.

30
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:16,032
You see, darlings,
you must listen to the river.

31
00:02:16,069 --> 00:02:19,596
It's just the same
as ever it was...

32
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,732
and as it always will be.

33
00:02:21,774 --> 00:02:26,302
Always changing
and always the same.

34
00:02:35,688 --> 00:02:39,647
The mole had been working very
hard all the morning,

35
00:02:39,692 --> 00:02:41,626
spring... cleaning his little home,

36
00:02:41,661 --> 00:02:44,129
first with brooms,
then with dusters,

37
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:45,631
then on ladders
and steps and chairs...

38
00:02:45,665 --> 00:02:47,292
with a pail of whitewash...

39
00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:50,791
till he had dust in his throat
and eyes...

40
00:02:50,837 --> 00:02:53,635
and splashes of whitewash
all over his black fur.

41
00:02:53,673 --> 00:02:54,799
MOLE: Bother!

42
00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:57,742
NARRATOR: Spring was moving
in the air above...

43
00:02:57,777 --> 00:02:59,642
and in the earth below,
and around him,

44
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:03,672
penetrating even his dark
and lowly little house...

45
00:03:03,716 --> 00:03:05,809
with its spirit of longing.

46
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:08,252
It was small wonder, then,
that suddenly...

47
00:03:08,288 --> 00:03:11,189
MOLE: Oh! Oh, blow!

48
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:14,854
Hang spring... cleaning!

49
00:03:18,565 --> 00:03:19,930
Hoo hoo hoo!

50
00:03:22,902 --> 00:03:24,927
Up we go.

51
00:03:24,971 --> 00:03:26,939
Up we go.

52
00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:28,770
Oh!

53
00:03:28,808 --> 00:03:33,177
[Birds singing]

54
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:36,580
Oh, my.

55
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:39,949
Hee hee hee hoo!

56
00:03:42,822 --> 00:03:44,221
Aah.

57
00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:48,417
- Halt!
- Oh!

58
00:03:48,461 --> 00:03:49,428
Private road.

59
00:03:49,462 --> 00:03:52,158
MOLE: Onion sauce.

60
00:03:52,198 --> 00:03:54,189
Onion sauce.

61
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:56,759
Clear the way.
Ha ha!

62
00:03:56,803 --> 00:03:58,100
- Did you see that?
- What a little cheek.

63
00:03:58,137 --> 00:03:59,104
Well, I never!

64
00:04:28,201 --> 00:04:30,897
MOLE: Oh, my.

65
00:04:38,244 --> 00:04:40,906
Oh, my!

66
00:04:58,598 --> 00:05:00,122
RAT: Hello, Mole.

67
00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:03,033
MOLE: Hello, Rat.

68
00:05:03,069 --> 00:05:05,333
RAT: Like to come over?

69
00:05:05,371 --> 00:05:09,000
MOLE: All very well, to talk.

70
00:05:23,022 --> 00:05:24,819
RAT: Step lively.

71
00:05:30,596 --> 00:05:33,156
I've never been
in a boat before.

72
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:38,501
RAT: What? Never been...
Ha ha ha!

73
00:05:38,538 --> 00:05:43,271
Oh, my young friend, there is
nothing, absolutely nothing...

74
00:05:43,309 --> 00:05:47,370
half so much worth doing as
simply messing about in boats.

75
00:05:47,413 --> 00:05:51,372
Messing about in boats.

76
00:05:51,417 --> 00:05:52,384
Messing about...

77
00:05:52,418 --> 00:05:54,443
MOLE: Ooh, look ahead, Rat!

78
00:05:54,487 --> 00:05:55,454
Oh!

79
00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:56,716
Oooh!

80
00:05:56,756 --> 00:05:59,919
RAT: In boats, or with boats.
Ha ha ha!

81
00:05:59,959 --> 00:06:01,950
Boats! In or out of them,
it doesn't matter.

82
00:06:01,994 --> 00:06:03,461
That's the charm of it.

83
00:06:03,496 --> 00:06:05,088
Whether you get away,
or whether you don't.

84
00:06:05,131 --> 00:06:07,656
Or whether you arrive at your
destination or somewhere else.

85
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:09,998
Or whether you never get
anywhere at all.

86
00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:13,233
You're always busy,
with nothing in particular,

87
00:06:13,272 --> 00:06:15,331
and when you've done it, there's
always something else to do.

88
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:17,536
And you can do it if you like...

89
00:06:19,412 --> 00:06:21,539
RAT: But you'd
much better not.

90
00:06:23,449 --> 00:06:25,883
RAT: Shove that
under your feet.

91
00:06:27,253 --> 00:06:29,221
A cold chicken, cold tongue,
cold ham, cold beef,

these little excursions.

RAT: By it and with it
and on it and in it.

00:06:55,815 --> 00:06:58,409
It's my world,
and I don't want any other.

is not worth having.

Lord, the fun we have together!

No one else?

far too crowded nowadays.

108
00:07:19,172 --> 00:07:21,572
RAT: That is the Wild Wood.

109
00:07:21,607 --> 00:07:23,507
We Riverbankers don't
go there much.

there very nice?

rabbits, some of them.

112
00:07:31,017 --> 00:07:32,917
And there's dear old Badger,
wouldn't live anywhere else...

113
00:07:32,952 --> 00:07:34,146
if you paid him.

114
00:07:34,187 --> 00:07:36,678
There are others, you see.

115
00:07:36,722 --> 00:07:39,418
Weasels, stoats, foxes.

116
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:43,759
All right in a way,
but you can't really trust them.

117
00:07:43,796 --> 00:07:47,596
Oh, oh. And, and, and...
beyond the Wild Wood...

if you've got any sense.

121
00:07:53,239 --> 00:07:56,731
Don't ever refer to it again.

Why didn't you invite me, Ratty?

00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:36,045

By the way, my friend, Mr. Mole.

and stumble on you fellows.

of him today.

everything brand... new.

then it was punting,

then it was houseboating.

Look, old man, perhaps it's time
we packed up, too, hmm?

MOLE: About rowing back, Ratty,
do you think that I might take...

162
00:10:02,835 --> 00:10:04,598
RAT: My dear fellow,
I rather think not.

163
00:10:05,972 --> 00:10:09,066
MOLE: Uh, I think I'd be rather
good at it, you know,

164
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:12,009
being rather a practical fellow,
good with my paws.

Uh, very quick on the uptake.

166

as all that.

Learn a thing by doing a thing...

168
00:10:16,482 --> 00:10:18,950
Now, see here. First,
you must learn the theory.

00:10:39,972 --> 00:10:42,702
MOLE: Oh, Ratty,
whatever can I say?

177
00:10:42,742 --> 00:10:44,505
RAT: There's absolutely
no need.

178
00:10:44,543 --> 00:10:46,704
MOLE: Oh, but there is.
When I think...

179
00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:47,906
RAT: Come, now.

180
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,040
MOLE: Just think how I might
have lost...

181
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:51,481
your beautiful picnic basket.

182
00:10:51,517 --> 00:10:52,677
I'm so sorry.

183
00:10:52,718 --> 00:10:54,185
You've been so good
and generous,

184
00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:57,087
and I've been so stupid
and ungrateful.

185
00:10:57,123 --> 00:10:58,613
Can you forgive me?

186
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:01,126
RAT: My dear chap,
water under the bridge.

187
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,119
Ha! I say, that's quite funny.
Ha ha ha!

188
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:06,495
Look here.

189
00:11:06,532 --> 00:11:09,126
You'd better stop here with me
for a while.

190
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:11,193
Teach you to row and swim.

191
00:11:11,237 --> 00:11:14,001
Gain, um,
experience on the River.

192
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,531
NARRATOR: And, so it
was agreed, and straightaway,

193
00:11:16,575 --> 00:11:20,306
that contrite Mole was eager to
learn from his wise, new friend,

194
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:23,577
not only about the perils
and dangers of the River

195
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:27,643
and its weirs and its sudden
floods, but also about its joys:

196
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:29,655
Night fishing with Otter,

197
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:32,283
excursions far afield
with Badger,

198
00:11:32,324 --> 00:11:34,884
these things and so much more.

199
00:11:34,927 --> 00:11:37,896
Until the glowing tiredness of
the long day...

200
00:11:37,930 --> 00:11:41,024
finally overcame him, and
it was time for him to lay...

201
00:11:41,067 --> 00:11:43,160
his happy head on the pillow,

202
00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:44,999
knowing his other new friend,
the River,

203
00:11:45,037 --> 00:11:48,063
was lapping close to his window.

204
00:11:48,107 --> 00:11:51,565
And as summer ripened
and he mastered the skills...

205
00:11:51,610 --> 00:11:53,771
and learned the delights
of running water,

206
00:11:53,813 --> 00:11:57,271
he caught something of what
the wind was whispering...

207
00:11:57,316 --> 00:11:59,682
so constantly in the reeds.

208
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:09,194
MOLE: Toad must be
a very nice animal.

209
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:13,688
RAT: The best of animals.
So simple, so good... natured.

210
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:15,701
So affectionate.

211
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:17,965
Not very clever, perhaps,

212
00:12:18,003 --> 00:12:20,471
and it may be that he's both
boastful and conceited.

213
00:12:20,506 --> 00:12:23,703
But, uh, he's got some great
qualities, has Toady.

214
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:25,210
He's rather rich, you know.

215
00:12:25,244 --> 00:12:27,712
And his house really is one of
the nicest in these parts,

216
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:29,044
though we never admit it to him.

217
00:12:30,983 --> 00:12:33,247
RAT: Banqueting hall.

218
00:12:33,285 --> 00:12:36,015
MOLE: I wonder what
he's taken up instead.

219
00:12:36,055 --> 00:12:38,046
RAT: We'll know soon enough.

220
00:12:43,195 --> 00:12:44,594
RAT: Toady!

221
00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:45,722
TOAD: Aah!

222
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:48,495
Ratty! Hurray! Splendid!

223
00:12:48,534 --> 00:12:50,399
RAT: Toady, this is
my friend, Mole.

224
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:52,904
Moly, this is the famous Toad.

225
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:55,406
TOAD: How do you do, Mole?

226
00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:57,432
MOLE:
It's a delightful residence.

227
00:12:57,476 --> 00:12:59,637
Oh, how kind of you, absolutely!

228
00:12:59,678 --> 00:13:01,942
Oh, it's the finest house
on the whole River.

Oh, hee hee hee!
It's only my way, you know.

231
00:13:06,852 --> 00:13:08,046
Now, look here!

232
00:13:08,087 --> 00:13:10,885
I was just going to send a boat
for you, Ratty.

233
00:13:10,923 --> 00:13:14,017
Um, yes, with strict orders to
come at once,

234
00:13:14,059 --> 00:13:15,924
no matter what you were doing.
Come along!

235
00:13:15,961 --> 00:13:19,897
Oh, you don't know how lucky
it is, your turning up just now.

236
00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:21,126
You've got to help me!

237
00:13:21,167 --> 00:13:22,191
RAT: If it's about
your rowing...

238
00:13:22,234 --> 00:13:26,295
TOAD: Oh, pooh. Boating! Ha!
Sheer waste of time!

239
00:13:26,338 --> 00:13:28,568
Gave that up long ago.

240
00:13:28,607 --> 00:13:32,270
No. I've discovered
the real thing,

241
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:37,943
and I propose to devote
the rest of my life to it.

242
00:13:37,983 --> 00:13:39,951
TOAD: There!
MOLE: Oh!

243
00:13:39,985 --> 00:13:42,078

for you!

RAT: Ooh...

245
00:13:43,122 --> 00:13:46,057
Oh, the open road!
The dusty highway!

246
00:13:46,091 --> 00:13:49,185
The heath, the common,
the rolling hills,

247
00:13:49,228 --> 00:13:51,287
villages, towns, cities!

248
00:13:51,330 --> 00:13:54,060
Here today,
somewhere else tomorrow!

249
00:13:54,099 --> 00:13:56,932
Travel, change, excitement!

250
00:13:56,969 --> 00:13:59,199
A horizon
that's always changing.

251
00:13:59,238 --> 00:14:03,174
And mind, this is the finest
of its kind ever built.

252
00:14:03,209 --> 00:14:07,168
All the fittings planned
by myself.

253
00:14:07,213 --> 00:14:10,046

254
00:14:10,082 --> 00:14:12,016

00:14:12,051 --> 00:14:13,177
MOLE: Oh, my.

TOAD: Everything you could
possibly want.

Nothing whatever has been
forgotten, you'll find,

258
00:14:17,289 --> 00:14:20,156

this afternoon.

We? Start?

Now, you dear, good, old Ratty.
Don't talk in that sniffy way.

You've got to come.
I can't manage without you.

264
00:14:34,273 --> 00:14:37,834
You surely don't mean to stick
to your fussy old River...

265
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:39,242
all your life?

266
00:14:39,278 --> 00:14:42,008
I want to show you the world!

267
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:44,015
Stop, will you? Wait for me!

268
00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:47,348
RAT: I don't care.
I'm not going. And that's flat.

269
00:14:47,386 --> 00:14:49,854
And I, too, am going to stick
to my old River...

270
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:53,256
and live in a hole and boat
as I've always done.

271
00:14:53,292 --> 00:14:54,953
And what's more, you're going to
stick to me and do as I do,

272
00:14:54,994 --> 00:14:55,961
aren't you, Mole?

273
00:14:55,995 --> 00:14:58,759

of the open road!

No cares, no worries.

Live for others.
That's my motto in life.

dear old hole on the River?

We'll see it out.

356
00:18:25,904 --> 00:18:28,338
It's called Ducks' Ditty.

357
00:18:28,373 --> 00:18:30,466
All along the backwater

358
00:18:30,509 --> 00:18:32,033
Through the rushes tall

359

NARRATOR: There was always
a restlessness...

379
00:19:16,655 --> 00:19:19,590
in the countryside
at this time of year.

380
00:19:19,625 --> 00:19:21,616
Ratty himself was feeling
restless.

381
00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:24,254
Why all this craving for change?

382
00:19:24,296 --> 00:19:29,598
The swallows spoke, the stirring
within them, a sweet unrest.

383
00:19:29,635 --> 00:19:32,627
Of course the day would come
when they would be...

384
00:19:32,671 --> 00:19:35,731
homesick again for lush meadows
and insect... haunted ponds.

385
00:19:35,774 --> 00:19:39,039
But now they must answer
the call of the South.

386
00:19:39,077 --> 00:19:40,476
The South!

387
00:19:40,512 --> 00:19:44,448
They yearned for the passionate
touch of the southern sun,

388
00:19:44,483 --> 00:19:48,283
for one waft
of the South's authentic odor.

389
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,788
Their blood, they said,
was dancing...

390
00:19:50,822 --> 00:19:53,655
to a music
he could not understand.

391
00:19:53,692 --> 00:19:55,159
But they were wrong.

392
00:19:55,194 --> 00:19:58,186
He, too, felt
uncontrollable longings...

393
00:19:58,230 --> 00:20:02,257
stirring within himself
to travel far and wide.

394
00:20:02,301 --> 00:20:05,361
A voyage on a small
trading vessel, perhaps.

395
00:20:05,404 --> 00:20:08,373
From Constantinople
to the islands of Greece,

396
00:20:08,407 --> 00:20:11,865
and then to the Adriatic Sea,
whose shores swam...

397
00:20:11,910 --> 00:20:15,073
in an atmosphere of amber,
rose, and aquamarine.

398
00:20:15,113 --> 00:20:16,808
In his mind's eye,

399
00:20:16,848 --> 00:20:20,181
he saw himself in and out
of harbor all the time.

400
00:20:20,219 --> 00:20:23,188
Sleeping through the heat of
the day in some cool temple,

401
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:27,352
and then after sundown,
feasting under great stars...

402
00:20:27,392 --> 00:20:29,223
set in a velvet sky.

403
00:20:29,261 --> 00:20:32,059
In Venice, it might be,
with friends,

404
00:20:32,097 --> 00:20:35,726
with the air full of music,
lights flashing and shimmering,

405
00:20:35,767 --> 00:20:37,701
and swaying gondolas.

406
00:20:37,736 --> 00:20:39,203
Then, by different ships,

407
00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:43,470
to Sicily, Sardinia,
Corsica, and Alassio,

408
00:20:43,508 --> 00:20:46,875
where the wine casks
were dropped overboard,

409
00:20:46,912 --> 00:20:50,040
tied to one another
in a long, bobbing line

410
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:51,549
like a mile of porpoises...

411
00:20:51,583 --> 00:20:54,552
and where he, Ratty,
that oarsman without equal,

412
00:20:54,586 --> 00:20:57,054
would be one
of the singing boat crew...

413
00:20:57,089 --> 00:21:00,058
that towed them
towards the little town...

414
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:01,957
where the great
olive woods began,

415
00:21:01,994 --> 00:21:06,624
as did rest and refreshment
with friends in the South.

416
00:21:07,699 --> 00:21:09,792
Hello, Ratty.

417

00:21:14,139 --> 00:21:17,267
RAT: Way, hey,

420
00:21:17,309 --> 00:21:20,107
Coming on board.

MOLE: Ratty,
where are you off to?

422
00:21:22,314 --> 00:21:23,781
RAT: Why,
with the rest of them...

423
00:21:23,815 --> 00:21:26,283
seawards first
and then on shipboard...

424
00:21:26,318 --> 00:21:28,411
to the shores
that are calling me.

425
00:21:29,488 --> 00:21:30,785
Oh!

426
00:21:30,822 --> 00:21:32,289

A phantom song,
pealing high...

431
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:47,795
between vaporous, gray,
wave... lapped walls.

432
00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:49,397
I can't explain, Moly.

433
00:21:49,441 --> 00:21:53,275
Sea voices, magic, haunting.

434
00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:57,806
No, l... I can't explain,
but I'd have gone after them.

435
00:21:57,849 --> 00:21:59,316
Gone and left you.

436
00:21:59,351 --> 00:22:00,477
[Crying]

437
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:03,283
MOLE: Nonsense.
Leave at this time of the year?

438
00:22:03,388 --> 00:22:06,824
Why? The apples are almost
rosy enough to pick.

439
00:22:06,858 --> 00:22:10,817
There's our jams and pickles
to make and the nuts to gather.

440
00:22:10,862 --> 00:22:13,160
And remember how you said
you loved watching...

441
00:22:13,198 --> 00:22:14,756
the harvest
being brought home...

442
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,291
and the haystacks growing
higher and higher...

443
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:20,669
and how you'd take me
to see Mr. Badger?

444
00:22:20,706 --> 00:22:24,870
You wouldn't miss the poetry
of all that, would you, Ratty?

445
00:22:26,111 --> 00:22:28,170
NARRATOR:
There was a poetry, too,

446
00:22:28,213 --> 00:22:29,840
about wintertime when it came,

447
00:22:29,881 --> 00:22:32,850
when the pageant of summer
flowers had long shriveled.

448
00:22:32,884 --> 00:22:35,546

first brief encounter,

449

Mole had yearned to meet again
that imposing animal...

451
00:22:40,525 --> 00:22:43,688
who lived in the heart
of the Wild Wood.

452
00:22:43,729 --> 00:22:46,857
Perhaps now, when Nature
kicked off her clothes...

453
00:22:46,898 --> 00:22:50,891
and the woods seemed closer
than ever to the Riverbank,

454
00:22:50,936 --> 00:22:52,870
it was time to venture out...

455
00:22:52,904 --> 00:22:56,203
and make the acquaintance
of the elusive Badger.

456
00:22:56,241 --> 00:22:58,368

457
00:22:58,410 --> 00:23:00,844

00:27:16,401 --> 00:27:19,461
Toad? Wouldn't show his face
here alone for a fortune.

532
00:27:19,504 --> 00:27:23,099
Now, we must make a start.
Can't spend the night here.

533
00:27:23,141 --> 00:27:24,335
Brrr!

534
00:27:24,376 --> 00:27:26,344
MOLE: I'm dreadfully sorry,
Ratty, but I'm dead beat.

535
00:27:26,378 --> 00:27:30,178
If I don't rest awhile
and get my strength back, I'll...

536
00:27:30,215 --> 00:27:32,183
RAT: All right. All right.
Rest away.

537
00:27:32,217 --> 00:27:35,186
Anyhow, there should be a bit
of a moon later...

538
00:27:35,220 --> 00:27:37,085
to help us find our way.

539
00:28:00,245 --> 00:28:03,646
[Yawn]

540
00:28:03,748 --> 00:28:06,216
RAT: Mole, time to be off.

541
00:28:06,251 --> 00:28:08,913
I'll just see
if everything's quiet.

542
00:28:11,256 --> 00:28:12,621
Hello.

543
00:28:12,657 --> 00:28:13,715
MOLE: What's up?

544
00:28:13,758 --> 00:28:16,226
RAT: Snow's up,
or rather, down.

545
00:28:16,261 --> 00:28:18,388
MOLE: What shall we do?

546
00:28:18,430 --> 00:28:21,228
RAT: Well, we must take
our chance, I suppose.

547
00:28:21,266 --> 00:28:23,234
The worst of it is,
I don't know where we are.

548
00:28:23,268 --> 00:28:24,758
Everything looks so different.

549
00:28:36,281 --> 00:28:38,249
RAT: Too deep
to wade through some of it.

550
00:28:38,283 --> 00:28:40,751
Down there, we might find
some shelter and have a rest.

551
00:28:40,785 --> 00:28:42,446
Something may turn up.

552
00:28:45,457 --> 00:28:46,651
[Clink]

553
00:28:46,691 --> 00:28:52,527
Ooh, my poor leg! Oh, my!
I must have tripped on a branch.

554
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:56,261
RAT: Poor old Moly.
Not having much luck, are you?

555
00:28:56,301 --> 00:28:58,269
It's a very clean cut.

556
00:28:58,303 --> 00:29:00,271
Wasn't a branch you tripped on.

557
00:29:00,305 --> 00:29:02,830
Sharp edge of something metal,
more like.

558
00:29:02,874 --> 00:29:04,808
MOLE: It hurts just the same,
whatever done it.

559
00:29:04,843 --> 00:29:06,777
RAT: Whatever did it!

560
00:29:06,811 --> 00:29:08,278
Yes!

561
00:29:08,313 --> 00:29:10,281
MOLE: Oh, come on, Rat.

562
00:29:10,315 --> 00:29:12,283
RAT: Hurray! Hurray!

563
00:29:12,317 --> 00:29:13,784
Hurray, hurray, hurray,

564
00:29:13,818 --> 00:29:15,217
hurray, hurray, hurray,
hurray! Guess what!

565
00:29:15,253 --> 00:29:16,242
What?

566
00:29:16,287 --> 00:29:18,448
A door... scraper!

567
00:29:18,490 --> 00:29:21,948
MOLE: Door... scraper? Huh!
Why dance jigs about it?

568
00:29:21,993 --> 00:29:25,394
RAT: Don't you see what it
means, you dull... witted animal?

569
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:27,796
Yes. Some very careless person
has left it...

570
00:29:27,832 --> 00:29:30,130
where it's sure to trip
everybody up.

571
00:29:30,168 --> 00:29:31,635
I should go and complain...

572
00:29:31,669 --> 00:29:33,136
RAT: Stop arguing and help me.

573
00:29:34,339 --> 00:29:35,533
There!

574
00:29:35,573 --> 00:29:37,404
What did I tell you?

575
00:29:37,442 --> 00:29:39,137
MOLE:
You told me nothing whatever.

576
00:29:39,177 --> 00:29:40,974
Go on. Dance another jig.

577
00:29:41,012 --> 00:29:42,639
You found another piece
of litter.

578
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,272
I hope you're happy.

579
00:29:44,315 --> 00:29:46,146
Can we eat it, sleep under it,

580
00:29:46,184 --> 00:29:47,947
sit on it,
and sledge home on it?

581
00:29:47,986 --> 00:29:49,977
You exasperating rodent.

582
00:29:50,021 --> 00:29:52,489
RAT: Doesn't that doormat
tell you anything?

583
00:29:52,524 --> 00:29:56,483
Doormats tell one nothing.
Doormats know their place.

584
00:29:56,528 --> 00:29:58,689
RAT: Thick... headed beast.

585
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,832
Rat, you're a wonder.

586
00:30:11,876 --> 00:30:14,436
That's what you are,
a real wonder.

587
00:30:14,479 --> 00:30:18,848
Argued it out step by step,
looked at my shin,

588
00:30:18,883 --> 00:30:21,511
and "door... scraper,"
your majestic mind told you.

589
00:30:21,553 --> 00:30:24,021
And you found the very
door... scraper that done it.

590
00:30:24,055 --> 00:30:25,522
RAT: Did it.

591
00:30:25,557 --> 00:30:27,991
MOLE: Quite. Did it
stop there? It did not.

592
00:30:28,026 --> 00:30:30,790
"Let me only find a doormat,"
says your intellect,

593
00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:32,319
and you found one.

594
00:30:32,363 --> 00:30:35,924
"Now for the door," you said,
and there is the door.

595
00:30:35,967 --> 00:30:37,798
Well, you're wasted here
among us fellows.

596
00:30:37,836 --> 00:30:39,736
If only I had your head, Ratty.

597
00:30:39,771 --> 00:30:41,136
But as you haven't,

598
00:30:41,172 --> 00:30:43,766
I suppose you're going to
sit there and talk all night.

599
00:30:43,808 --> 00:30:45,241
Yes. Oh... oh, oh!

600
00:30:50,348 --> 00:30:51,315
[Grumbling]

601
00:30:51,349 --> 00:30:54,318
Now, the very next time
this happens,

602
00:30:54,352 --> 00:30:56,320
I shall be
exceedingly angry.

603
00:30:56,354 --> 00:30:58,322
Who is it this time?

604
00:30:58,356 --> 00:31:00,790
Disturbing people
on such a night. Speak up!

605
00:31:00,925 --> 00:31:04,326
RAT: Oh, Badger. It's me, Rat,
and my friend Mole.

606
00:31:04,362 --> 00:31:08,025
We've lost our way in the snow.
Please let us in.

607
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:13,770
Why, Ratty, me dear little man.

608
00:31:13,805 --> 00:31:16,501
Come along in. You must be
perished, both of you.

609
00:31:16,541 --> 00:31:18,031
Well, I never!

610
00:31:18,076 --> 00:31:20,670
Lost in the Wild Wood
and in the snow...

611
00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:22,373
and at this time of night.

612
00:31:30,455 --> 00:31:32,184
Ha ha ha.

613
00:31:32,223 --> 00:31:33,656
Ahh.

614
00:31:33,691 --> 00:31:36,091
NARRATOR: Old Mr. Badger,
gruff and alarming...

615
00:31:36,127 --> 00:31:38,357
as he appeared
on first acquaintance,

616
00:31:38,396 --> 00:31:41,854
was, in fact, the kindliest
and most welcoming of animals.

617
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:45,529
Although he almost never
went in search of society,

618
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:48,198
he was always
at home to his friends.

619
00:31:48,239 --> 00:31:52,039
Whatever their needs and for as
long as they required to stay,

620
00:31:52,076 --> 00:31:54,874
his visitors could expect
not only comfortable lodgings...

621
00:31:54,913 --> 00:31:58,872
but also all the pleasures
of a well... loaded table.

622
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:00,885
All he ever wanted in return...

623
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:03,854
was the latest news
from the Riverbank.

624
00:32:03,888 --> 00:32:06,516
Every week a new motorcar.

625
00:32:06,557 --> 00:32:08,354
Bigger and shinier.

626
00:32:08,393 --> 00:32:09,587
And more expensive.

627
00:32:09,627 --> 00:32:10,616
And more powerful.

628
00:32:10,662 --> 00:32:12,755
With which to terrorize
the neighborhood.

629
00:32:12,797 --> 00:32:15,129
And every one ends in disaster.

630
00:32:15,166 --> 00:32:19,102
His coach house is piled to
the roof with wrecked machinery.

631
00:32:19,137 --> 00:32:21,571
And he persists in the belief
that he's a heaven... born driver.

632
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:23,403
No respect for the law.

633
00:32:23,441 --> 00:32:25,170
It's disgraceful.

634
00:32:25,209 --> 00:32:26,403
And rich as he is,

635
00:32:26,444 --> 00:32:28,674
if he goes on like this,
he'll finish up bankrupt.

636
00:32:28,713 --> 00:32:31,181
Oh, much, much worse.

637
00:32:31,215 --> 00:32:33,479
Oh, my!

638
00:32:33,518 --> 00:32:37,079
RAT: So, Badger, I think his
friends ought to rally round...

639
00:32:37,121 --> 00:32:38,713
and make him see sense.

640
00:32:38,756 --> 00:32:40,280
Now, now. Look here.

641
00:32:40,325 --> 00:32:43,260
You know, of course,
that I can't do anything now,

642
00:32:43,294 --> 00:32:46,923
but once the year has turned
and the nights are shorter...

643
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:49,866
and one wants to be up
and doing by sunrise, you know,

644
00:32:49,901 --> 00:32:53,701
well, then, the three of us will
take Toad seriously in hand,

645
00:32:53,738 --> 00:32:56,764
stand no nonsense,
bring him back to reason...

646
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:58,799
by force, if need be.

647
00:32:58,843 --> 00:33:01,141
We'll make him sensible.

648
00:33:01,179 --> 00:33:02,612
Right you are, Badger.

649
00:33:02,647 --> 00:33:04,638
We'll convert the poor,
unhappy animal.

650
00:33:04,682 --> 00:33:07,845
He'll be the most converted
Toad that ever was...

651
00:33:07,885 --> 00:33:09,216
before we've done with him.

652
00:33:09,253 --> 00:33:10,618
BADGER: I fancy
you know something...

653
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:13,283
about the creatures
of the Wild Wood, eh?

654
00:33:13,324 --> 00:33:15,724
MOLE: I do indeed,
Mr. Badger.

655
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,625
BADGER: They're not so bad,
really.

656
00:33:17,662 --> 00:33:20,722
Live and let live.
You'll have no further trouble.

657
00:33:20,765 --> 00:33:21,732
RAT: Come along, Mole.

658
00:33:21,766 --> 00:33:23,131
BADGER: Don't fret, Ratty.

659
00:33:23,167 --> 00:33:24,293
I'll show you
my bolt... hole shortcut...

660
00:33:24,335 --> 00:33:26,132
to the edge of the wood.

661
00:33:34,012 --> 00:33:35,673
MOLE: Ratty, hold up!
Come back!

662
00:33:35,713 --> 00:33:37,305
RAT: We can't stop now, Mole.

663
00:33:37,348 --> 00:33:41,148
MOLE: Ratty, I want you, quick!
It's close by here.

664
00:33:41,185 --> 00:33:43,517
RAT: Whatever it is,
we'll come back for it tomorrow.

665
00:33:43,554 --> 00:33:45,522
Come, now. Be a good fellow.

666
00:33:45,556 --> 00:33:48,286
It's getting even worse,
and I'm not sure of the way,

667
00:33:48,326 --> 00:33:49,850
and I need your nose.

668
00:33:49,894 --> 00:33:51,691
[Mole sobbing]

669
00:33:51,729 --> 00:33:53,560
Oh, please come back, Ratty.

670
00:33:53,598 --> 00:33:54,826
RAT: Do catch up, Mole.

671
00:33:54,866 --> 00:33:57,334
Now, look here, Mole.

672
00:33:58,536 --> 00:34:01,198
Why, whatever is the matter,
old friend?

673
00:34:01,239 --> 00:34:03,537
We really ought
to step it up, you know.

674
00:34:03,574 --> 00:34:05,872
MOLE: You don't
understand, Ratty.

675
00:34:05,910 --> 00:34:08,037
It's my home.

676
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:12,209
My own home,
it's very close here.

677
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:15,378
It's only a shabby,
dingy little place,

678
00:34:15,420 --> 00:34:19,823
but it were my own little home,
and I was fond of it.

679
00:34:19,857 --> 00:34:22,291
Then I went away
and left it and...

680
00:34:22,326 --> 00:34:24,089
RAT: Come, come.

681
00:34:24,128 --> 00:34:26,562
MOLE: And just now
I scented it and...

682
00:34:26,597 --> 00:34:30,363
I stopped, and I thought
my heart would break.

683
00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:32,232
RAT: There, there, there.

684
00:34:32,270 --> 00:34:34,238
What a pig I've been.

685
00:34:34,272 --> 00:34:38,675
Just a pig... a plain pig.

686
00:34:38,709 --> 00:34:40,609
Come on, Mole.

687
00:34:40,645 --> 00:34:42,579
MOLE: Where... where to?

688
00:34:42,613 --> 00:34:46,982
RAT: To find that home of yours
with that nose of yours.

689
00:34:47,018 --> 00:34:48,849
[Mole sniffing]

690
00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:52,921
MOLE: Do catch up, Ratty!

691
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:00,527
[Match being struck]

692
00:35:07,972 --> 00:35:11,339
MOLE: Oh, Ratty!
Why ever did I do it?

693
00:35:11,375 --> 00:35:14,173
Why did I bring you to my poor,
cold little place...

694
00:35:14,212 --> 00:35:15,736
on a night like this?

695
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:18,180
You might have been at Riverbank
toasting your toes...

696
00:35:18,216 --> 00:35:21,674
with all your own
nice things about you.

697

Most remarkable. Wonderful.

00:35:25,957 --> 00:35:27,288
RAT: Let's see inside.

700
00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:33,590
MOLE: Oh, Rat, what
a neglected, cheerless place...

701
00:35:33,631 --> 00:35:34,962
to bring you to.

RAT: Moly, how can you possibly
say it's cheerless?

703
00:35:37,602 --> 00:35:40,298
You have a capital
little place here.

704
00:35:40,338 --> 00:35:42,067
So...

705
00:35:42,106 --> 00:35:44,267
uh... compact and snug.

706
00:35:44,308 --> 00:35:46,742
Oh ho ho!
Where do you keep the opener?

707
00:35:46,777 --> 00:35:48,768
It's all lovely.

708
00:35:48,813 --> 00:35:50,440
MOLE:
Do you really think so?

709
00:35:50,481 --> 00:35:52,676
In that drawer.
Glasses on that shelf.

710
00:35:52,717 --> 00:35:54,480
They belonged to my granddad.

711
00:35:54,519 --> 00:35:56,111
RAT: Everything you need.

712
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:57,917
What a beautiful bedspread.

713
00:35:57,955 --> 00:35:59,650
MOLE: Aunt Emily made me that.

714
00:35:59,690 --> 00:36:01,157
RAT: Light...

715
00:36:01,192 --> 00:36:02,989

717
00:36:04,996 --> 00:36:06,861
a home.

718
00:36:06,898 --> 00:36:10,800
If you say so, Ratty,
then I couldn't be more pleased.

719
00:36:10,835 --> 00:36:14,828
And, oh, Ratty,
you are most, most welcome.

720
00:36:16,174 --> 00:36:19,940
NARRATOR: And so, comfortable
and at ease in his own home,

721
00:36:19,977 --> 00:36:23,003
Mole entertained
his loyal friend.

722
00:36:23,047 --> 00:36:27,006
What did it matter if he could
not provide bread or butter...

723
00:36:27,051 --> 00:36:32,318
or, as Ratty said with
a sly grin, pâte or champagne?

724
00:36:32,356 --> 00:36:34,483
In the company of a good friend,

725
00:36:34,525 --> 00:36:38,086
the plainest of meals
is a banquet.

726
00:36:38,129 --> 00:36:40,154
And what if Mole
had always had to live...

727
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:43,292
a somewhat frugal
and solitary life?

728
00:36:43,334 --> 00:36:45,325
There always came
that time of the year,

729
00:36:45,369 --> 00:36:46,996
in deepest, darkest winter,

730
00:36:47,038 --> 00:36:50,997
when, with the best of good
cheer, he celebrated so much...

731
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:55,741
that had been good
during the 12 months gone by...

732
00:36:55,780 --> 00:36:57,304
a time not only
for looking back,

733
00:36:57,348 --> 00:36:59,179
but for looking forward...

734
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:04,177
for looking forward yet again
to the rebirth of the world...

735
00:37:04,288 --> 00:37:08,247
out of the dying remnants
of the old year into spring.

739
00:37:33,985 --> 00:37:36,317
Be a good chap, Mole,
and see who it is.

740
00:37:39,123 --> 00:37:41,057
MOLE: Ratty. Ratty!

741
00:37:41,092 --> 00:37:42,923
It's Mr. Badger.

742
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:43,949
RAT: Well, then?

743
00:37:43,995 --> 00:37:45,019
MOLE: It's Mr. Badger.

745
00:37:46,497 --> 00:37:47,896

746
00:37:47,932 --> 00:37:49,559
Oh, yes!

747
00:37:52,937 --> 00:37:54,905
MOLE: Mr. Badger.

748
00:37:54,939 --> 00:37:56,167
BADGER: Ahem.

749
00:37:56,207 --> 00:37:58,198
The hour has come.

750
00:37:58,242 --> 00:37:59,732
RAT: Uh, what hour, Badger?

751
00:37:59,777 --> 00:38:02,678
BADGER: Not what hour...
whose hour.

752
00:38:02,713 --> 00:38:04,681
Toad's hour, of course.

753
00:38:04,715 --> 00:38:06,649
The hour of Toad.

754
00:38:06,684 --> 00:38:09,847
I said I would take him in hand
as soon as winter was over.

755
00:38:09,887 --> 00:38:12,856
Very well. His time has come.

756
00:38:12,890 --> 00:38:14,721
MOLE: Yes. Hurray, I remember.

757
00:38:14,759 --> 00:38:17,956
We're going to teach him
to be a sensible toad.

758
00:38:19,330 --> 00:38:20,797
BADGER: This very morning...

759
00:38:20,831 --> 00:38:23,391
I happen to know
that yet another new...

760
00:38:23,434 --> 00:38:25,766
and exceptionally powerful
motorcar...

761
00:38:25,803 --> 00:38:29,239
will arrive at Toad Hall
on approval or return.

762
00:38:29,273 --> 00:38:31,400
We must act at once.

763
00:38:31,442 --> 00:38:35,606
You two animals will
accompany me there instantly.

764
00:38:35,646 --> 00:38:38,638
The work of rescue
shall be accomplished.

Hello, you fellows.
You're just in time.

Just in time, I say, for...

768

TOAD: What are you doing?
I say, let go!

771
00:38:54,899 --> 00:38:56,730
Let go of me.
This is an outrage!

772
00:38:56,767 --> 00:38:58,098
MOLE: Back inside.

773
00:38:58,135 --> 00:39:01,434
TOAD: I shall not go inside.
I'm going for a drive.

774
00:39:01,472 --> 00:39:03,838
BADGER:
You won't be wanted today.

775
00:39:03,874 --> 00:39:05,739
Mr. Toad has changed his mind.

776
00:39:05,776 --> 00:39:06,936
TOAD: No, Badger!

777
00:39:06,977 --> 00:39:09,070
I demand an instant explanation.

778
00:39:09,113 --> 00:39:11,604
I haven't changed my mind.
Let go at once!

Don't listen to him!

BADGER: This car
is not required, my man.

781
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:16,984
TOAD: No!
BADGER: That is final.

782
00:39:17,021 --> 00:39:18,955
TOAD: Call the police!
They've all gone mad!

783
00:39:18,989 --> 00:39:20,854
Start the engine.
I'm coming with you.

My beautiful car!

Badger, what have you done?

788
00:39:31,902 --> 00:39:34,097
BADGER: Now, take
those ridiculous things off.

789
00:39:34,138 --> 00:39:35,969

Shan't, shan't, shan't!

BADGER: You knew it must come
to this sooner or later, Toad.

794
00:39:43,981 --> 00:39:45,949
You've taken no notice
of warnings.

795
00:39:45,983 --> 00:39:47,780
You've been throwing away
your money,

796
00:39:47,818 --> 00:39:50,878
giving us animals a bad name
with your furious driving.

797

your motorcars
entirely and forever.

dear Badger...

and so convincing.

803
00:40:08,372 --> 00:40:13,241
I faithfully promise that
the next time I see a motorcar,

804
00:40:13,277 --> 00:40:15,006
off I go in it!

the police...

three years for the furious
driving, which is lenient;

888
00:43:55,299 --> 00:44:01,067

we have heard, was pretty bad,

paying business in the family.

her could...

just slip her clothes off,
and you could put hers on,

974

will be all right, you see...

00:53:37,414 --> 00:53:39,575
[Train whistle]

1052
00:53:41,218 --> 00:53:44,153
NARRATOR:
So Toad was safe for the moment,

1053
00:53:44,187 --> 00:53:45,984
but what of little Portly,

1054
00:53:46,022 --> 00:53:47,990
missed, looked for,
not yet found,

1055
00:53:48,024 --> 00:53:50,925
and leaving no clues
to help the searchers?

1056
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:52,929
Ah, Ratty, dear old Ratty,

1057
00:53:52,963 --> 00:53:56,455
who was so wise
in the ways of the River,

1058
00:53:56,499 --> 00:53:58,990
was following
an instinct of his own,

1059
00:53:59,035 --> 00:54:01,503
something that was in the air.

1060
00:54:01,538 --> 00:54:06,999
Some spirit drew him on...
haunting, awesome...

1061
00:54:07,043 --> 00:54:10,945
and once he heard its voice,
he had no option but to follow.

1062
00:54:10,981 --> 00:54:13,074
Sometimes the beauty of it
hurt him.

1063
00:54:13,116 --> 00:54:17,610
It would come and go... faint
an hour, and then stronger...

1064
00:54:17,654 --> 00:54:20,248
which was nowhere,
and yet everywhere at once...

1065
00:54:20,290 --> 00:54:22,520
a merry bubble and joy,

1066
00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:25,687
or else a thin, clear,
happy call...

1067
00:54:25,729 --> 00:54:29,187
that he had once heard
at its loudest and strongest...

1068
00:54:29,232 --> 00:54:33,100
at the place of what
he called his song... dream:

1069
00:54:33,136 --> 00:54:36,867
A holy place where,
if anywhere at all,

1070
00:54:36,906 --> 00:54:38,874
that spirit might be found.

1071
00:54:38,908 --> 00:54:42,537
MOLE: Ratty, are you afraid?

1072
00:54:42,579 --> 00:54:44,069
RAT: Of him?

1073
00:54:44,114 --> 00:54:46,480
Never. Never.

1074
00:55:02,599 --> 00:55:10,529
RAT: Some... great...
creature... has been here.

1075
00:55:12,876 --> 00:55:15,504
MOLE: Here he is, Ratty.

1076
00:55:15,545 --> 00:55:19,845
Now we must get you back
to your father, young Portly.

1077
00:55:19,883 --> 00:55:21,475
Come along, Rat.

1078
00:55:21,518 --> 00:55:24,248
Think of poor Otter
waiting by the ford.

1079
00:55:25,689 --> 00:55:29,147
OTTER: You scoundrel!
Where did you get to?

1080
00:55:29,192 --> 00:55:31,752
Do you know I've had no sleep
for two nights because of you?

1081
00:55:33,763 --> 00:55:37,164
MOLE: I'm so tired, Rat.
Are you?

1082
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,169
RAT: Dead tired.

1083
00:55:40,203 --> 00:55:45,869
Something very splendid and
beautiful has happened, Mole.

1084
00:55:45,909 --> 00:55:48,844
Hark to the wind in the reeds.

1085
00:55:48,878 --> 00:55:51,312
MOLE: It's like faraway music.

1086
00:55:51,348 --> 00:55:54,181
RAT: Music, yes.
But words, too.

1087
00:55:54,217 --> 00:55:57,209
MOLE: I can't hear any words.

1088
00:55:57,253 --> 00:56:02,748
RAT: "Lest the awe should dwell
and turn your frolic to fret,

1089
00:56:02,792 --> 00:56:08,196
"you shall look upon my power
at the helping hour,

1090
00:56:08,231 --> 00:56:11,496
"but then you shall forget."

1091
00:56:11,534 --> 00:56:14,731
Can't you hear those words
in the reeds, Mole?

1092
00:56:14,771 --> 00:56:16,864
MOLE: No, Ratty, l...

1093
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:18,567
I'm sorry, I just can't.

1094
00:56:18,608 --> 00:56:21,441
RAT: "Helper and healer,
I cheer,

1097
00:56:31,821 --> 00:56:37,088
"bidding them all forget."

1098
00:56:40,897 --> 00:56:45,027
MOLE: I shan't forget
Mr. Toad. Not ever.

1099
00:56:47,137 --> 00:56:48,536
Oh!

1100
00:56:52,642 --> 00:56:54,906
Ooh?

1101
00:57:00,550 --> 00:57:03,018
WOMAN: Nice morning, missus!

1102
00:57:03,052 --> 00:57:04,576
TOAD: I daresay it... Ahem!

1103
00:57:04,621 --> 00:57:06,748
[In high... toned voice]
I daresay it is to them...

1104
00:57:06,790 --> 00:57:08,519
as isn't a poor washerwoman...

1105
00:57:08,558 --> 00:57:11,220
as needs to wear
her poor, old feet out...

1106
00:57:11,261 --> 00:57:13,786
to visit her daughter
as lives near Toad Hall.

1107
00:57:13,830 --> 00:57:15,422
WOMAN: Toad Hall?

1108
00:57:15,465 --> 00:57:17,592
Canal joins the river
near there.

1109
00:57:17,634 --> 00:57:19,329
I'll give you a lift.

1110
00:57:19,369 --> 00:57:22,668
TOAD: Ah, thank you,
ma'am, indeed.

1111
00:57:22,705 --> 00:57:25,606
TOAD, THINKING: It's the charm
that does it, Toad, me old lad.

1112
00:57:25,642 --> 00:57:26,939
Pure charm.

1113
00:57:29,112 --> 00:57:31,774
WOMAN: Washerwoman,
you says, missus?

1114
00:57:31,815 --> 00:57:33,783
TOAD: Laundry lady,
I should have said.

1115
00:57:33,817 --> 00:57:36,980
I run a very high... class
business, you know.

1116
00:57:37,020 --> 00:57:39,682
TOAD: Am I an idiot?
I'm in hot water again!

1117
00:57:39,722 --> 00:57:41,849
Oh, never mind. Pooh, I say.

1118
00:57:41,891 --> 00:57:44,155
Any fool can wash.

1119
00:57:44,194 --> 00:57:47,459
Now, then... you put
these things in... ooh! ...in here,

1120
00:57:47,497 --> 00:57:52,025
and then... rub a bit of soap on,
like this...

1121
00:57:52,068 --> 00:57:54,127
and... whoop!

1122
00:57:54,170 --> 00:57:56,035
Come here, you little beast!

1123
00:57:56,072 --> 00:57:59,974
Then, um, you're supposed
to do something with this...

1124
00:58:00,009 --> 00:58:01,670
like that, I think.

1125
00:58:01,711 --> 00:58:03,941
And, uh...

1126
00:58:03,980 --> 00:58:06,039
Oh, get back in there, will you?

1127
00:58:06,082 --> 00:58:07,208
Well, I never.

1128

Oh!

1131
00:58:13,356 --> 00:58:17,315
TOAD: And what I say is,
washing should be left to fools.

1132
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,328
How dare you mock me,

1133
00:58:19,362 --> 00:58:21,830
you common,
low, fat, barge woman!

to be calling me names?

1135

that I am, in reality,

1136
00:58:28,705 --> 00:58:30,832
the very well... known,
highly respected,

1137
00:58:30,874 --> 00:58:33,866
and distinguished Toad!
So there!

1138
00:58:33,910 --> 00:58:35,468
WOMAN: What?

1139
00:58:35,512 --> 00:58:38,413
A nasty, creepy... crawly toad?

1140
00:58:38,448 --> 00:58:41,349
On my lovely, clean barge?

1141
00:58:41,384 --> 00:58:42,476
Eww!

1142
00:58:42,519 --> 00:58:44,350

Iron your face, washerwoman,

1147
00:58:55,498 --> 00:58:58,729
and you'll pass
for a fair... looking Toad.

1148

TOAD: But I'll put you out!

1149
00:59:00,570 --> 00:59:02,197
Oh, yes!

1150
00:59:03,406 --> 00:59:06,034
Here, horsey. Come to Toad.

1151

WOMAN: Stop! Stop!

1152
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:10,869
Stop!

WOMAN: Oh! You fooled me!

1155
00:59:14,551 --> 00:59:18,385
You clumsy... you...
you nasty... you toad!

The world has held
great heroes

1160
00:59:26,596 --> 00:59:28,894
As history books have showed

1161
00:59:28,932 --> 00:59:32,390
But never a name
to go into fame

1162
00:59:32,435 --> 00:59:35,302
Compared with that of Toad!

1163
00:59:35,338 --> 00:59:36,999
Aha!

1164
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,009
Toad shall arrive home in style.

Oh, prison and chains again!

Overcome by the heat, I daresay.

better already.

How do you feel now, mum?

1174

TOAD: A great deal better, sir.

1175

Thank you, kindly.

I was just thinking.

TOAD: I've never been
in a motorcar before.

1179

How do they work, I wonder?

1180

CHAUFFEUR: I'll be more
than glad to show you,

1181
01:00:27,790 --> 01:00:30,156
but I fear it's a rather
complicated business...

1182
01:00:30,193 --> 01:00:32,661

know what driving really is.

of the famous, skillful,

won't believe...

what I have to tell you,
my dear fellows.

With one bound,
I was free from prison,

took a short cruise
on a luxury ship,

it is lovely to have you back.

We don't want to give you pain...

Hurray for old Toad.

01:02:12,929 --> 01:02:16,092
As soon as you got into
your scrape, we Riverbankers...

1223
01:02:16,132 --> 01:02:17,622
MOLE: Who all stuck up for you.

1224
01:02:17,667 --> 01:02:19,532
RAT: Be quiet, Moly!

1225
01:02:19,569 --> 01:02:21,764
We decided to keep an eye
on Toad Hall for you.

1226
01:02:21,804 --> 01:02:23,271
MOLE: Keep it aired and dusted.

1227
01:02:23,306 --> 01:02:24,739
TOAD: Very civil of you.

1228
01:02:24,774 --> 01:02:26,742
RAT: So Badger and Mole here...

1229
01:02:26,776 --> 01:02:29,040
moved in with
some of their things.

1230
01:02:29,078 --> 01:02:30,705
MOLE:
But the Wild Wooders came...

1231
01:02:30,747 --> 01:02:32,510
and surprised us
with a raiding party:

1232
01:02:32,548 --> 01:02:36,075
Weasels, armed to the teeth,
and stoats and ferrets...

1233
01:02:36,119 --> 01:02:37,552
RAT: And beat
the living daylights...

1234
01:02:37,587 --> 01:02:39,020
out of the two of them
with sticks...

1235
01:02:39,055 --> 01:02:40,784
and threw them out!

1236
01:02:40,823 --> 01:02:44,816
And they say they're staying
in Toad Hall for good,

1237
01:02:44,861 --> 01:02:47,694
eating your grub,
drinking your drink...

1238
01:02:47,730 --> 01:02:50,563
MOLE: And making up rude songs
and jokes about you.

1239
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:54,400
TOAD: What? We will jolly soon
see about that!

1240
01:02:54,437 --> 01:02:56,405
RAT: It's no use.

1241
01:02:56,439 --> 01:02:57,906
Armed sentries everywhere:

1242
01:02:57,940 --> 01:03:01,398
Ferret on the gate with a rifle,
stoats on the roof with rocks.

1243
01:03:01,444 --> 01:03:03,105
MOLE: I know...

1244
01:03:03,146 --> 01:03:06,138
I'll dry out Toad's washerwoman
clothes and put them on...

1245
01:03:06,182 --> 01:03:07,774
and go up to Toad Hall
and ask them...

1246
01:03:07,817 --> 01:03:09,284
if they want any washing done.

1247
01:03:09,318 --> 01:03:11,684
And they'll say,
"Run away, old woman,"

1248
01:03:11,721 --> 01:03:15,020
and I'll say, "Won't be me
running away before long...

1249
01:03:15,057 --> 01:03:17,787
"because there's a great army
of badgers and rats and moles...

1250
01:03:17,827 --> 01:03:20,853
"coming up through the paddock
tonight, armed to the teeth,

1251
01:03:20,897 --> 01:03:23,297
"not to mention
the death... or... glory toads."

1252
01:03:23,332 --> 01:03:26,233
And oh, my,
won't that get them flustered?

1253
01:03:26,269 --> 01:03:27,600
RAT: A great army?

1254
01:03:27,637 --> 01:03:29,798
TOAD: Poor friendless animal.

1255
01:03:29,839 --> 01:03:33,741
BADGER: Good day to you, Toad,
unhappy creature.

1256
01:03:33,776 --> 01:03:37,234
I have high hopes of you, Mole.

1257
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,976
Tonight, they're having
a banquet for the chief weasel.

1258
01:03:40,016 --> 01:03:43,042
If the good Mole's
washerwoman ruse works,

1259
01:03:43,085 --> 01:03:44,552
the stoats and ferrets...

1260
01:03:44,587 --> 01:03:46,612
would be mainly posted sentinel
in the paddock...

1261
01:03:46,656 --> 01:03:48,817
and not best pleased
with the weasels,

1262
01:03:48,858 --> 01:03:51,418
who will all be eating and
drinking in the dining hall...

1263
01:03:51,460 --> 01:03:52,927
none of them armed,

1264
01:03:52,962 --> 01:03:54,862
and little suspecting
how we shall overpower them.

1265
01:03:54,897 --> 01:03:56,831
TOAD: Plehh! Pyuuh!
Only four of us?

1266
01:03:56,866 --> 01:03:58,333
And we'd be seen?

1267
01:03:58,367 --> 01:03:59,834
BADGER: My young friend...

1268
01:03:59,869 --> 01:04:03,066
your father, who was
a worthier animal than some,

1269
01:04:03,105 --> 01:04:06,165
told me things he'd never
have dreamt of telling you.

1270
01:04:06,209 --> 01:04:07,938
There's a secret
underground passage...

1271
01:04:07,977 --> 01:04:10,445
which leads right up
under your butler's pantry.

1272
01:04:10,479 --> 01:04:12,970
TOAD: That squeaky board!

1273
01:04:13,015 --> 01:04:15,984
[Animals yelling
and dishes clattering]

1274
01:04:20,289 --> 01:04:21,756
[Noise continues in distance]

1275
01:04:21,791 --> 01:04:23,281
[Badger sniffing]

1276
01:04:31,801 --> 01:04:34,292
Now, boys, all together.

1277
01:04:35,638 --> 01:04:38,232
WEASEL: I should like
to say one word...

1278
01:04:38,274 --> 01:04:40,799
about our kind host, Mr. Toad.

1279
01:04:40,843 --> 01:04:43,277
We all know Toad!

1280
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,280
Ha ha ha ha!

1281
01:04:45,314 --> 01:04:47,282
Yeah. Good Toad!

1282
01:04:47,316 --> 01:04:49,284
Modest Toad!

1283
01:04:49,318 --> 01:04:51,183
Honest Toad!

1284
01:04:51,220 --> 01:04:52,482
Ha ha ha ha!

1285
01:04:52,521 --> 01:04:54,489
TOAD: Ooh! Let me at him.

1286
01:04:54,523 --> 01:04:55,751
BADGER: Now, hold on.

1287
01:04:55,791 --> 01:04:58,089
Get ready, all of you.
The hour has come.

1288
01:04:58,127 --> 01:05:00,186
WEASEL: Let me sing you
a little song...

1289
01:05:00,229 --> 01:05:02,288
on the subject of Toad.

1290
01:05:02,331 --> 01:05:04,822
Ahem. Ahem.

1291
01:05:04,867 --> 01:05:08,803
Toad, he went a... pleasuring
gaily down the street

1292
01:05:08,838 --> 01:05:10,032
BADGER: Now!

1293
01:05:10,072 --> 01:05:10,834
[Shouting]

1294
01:05:12,475 --> 01:05:14,841
WEASELS: Oh! Look out!

1295
01:05:23,452 --> 01:05:25,079
TOAD: I got you!

1296
01:05:31,994 --> 01:05:33,962
TOAD: Eat my food, would you?

1297
01:05:33,996 --> 01:05:35,759
Drink my drink, would you?

1298
01:05:35,798 --> 01:05:39,359
Sleep in my beds, would you?

1299
01:05:40,870 --> 01:05:42,497
TOAD: That's it!

1300
01:05:42,538 --> 01:05:45,803
Clear out, and don't come back,
you rotters!

1301
01:05:47,310 --> 01:05:48,777
MOLE: That's it, then, Badger.

1302
01:05:48,811 --> 01:05:50,278
BADGER: Whew!

1303
01:05:50,313 --> 01:05:52,781
Mole, you're
the best of fellows.

1304
01:05:52,815 --> 01:05:54,783
You and old Ratty go outside...

1305
01:05:54,817 --> 01:05:57,251
and send those ferrets and
stoats about their business,

1306
01:05:57,286 --> 01:06:00,278
while I have a word with Toad.

1307
01:06:00,323 --> 01:06:03,781
TOAD: Did you see how I sent
that chief weasel flying?

1308
01:06:03,826 --> 01:06:05,919
BADGER: Sit down, Toad!

1309
01:06:06,028 --> 01:06:09,361
Shortly, you will attend
to our immediate needs,

1310
01:06:09,398 --> 01:06:11,798
and tomorrow you will give
a splendid banquet...

1311
01:06:11,834 --> 01:06:13,301
to celebrate this affair.

1312
01:06:13,336 --> 01:06:14,667
TOAD: Of course!
It’ll be the finest...

1313
01:06:14,704 --> 01:06:16,797
BADGER: You will immediately
make out a guest list...

1314
01:06:16,839 --> 01:06:19,273
and then write invitations
to all our friends.

1315
01:06:26,048 --> 01:06:27,515
RAT: It's all over.

1316
01:06:27,550 --> 01:06:30,018
Threw down their rifles
and fled.

1317
01:06:30,052 --> 01:06:31,519
MOLE: Not all of them.

1318
01:06:31,554 --> 01:06:33,215
Some stood fast for a bit.

1319
01:06:33,255 --> 01:06:35,223
And there were stoats
fighting with weasels,

1320
01:06:35,257 --> 01:06:36,815
and they was wrestling
and wriggling.

1321
01:06:36,859 --> 01:06:38,952
BADGER: Excellent
and deserving animal.

1322
01:06:38,995 --> 01:06:42,726
How's that guest list coming on
for our feast tomorrow?

1323
01:06:42,765 --> 01:06:44,232
TOAD: Oh, bother
the guest list!

1324
01:06:44,266 --> 01:06:46,234
Here's the program
of entertainment.

1325
01:06:46,268 --> 01:06:48,065
We'll open
with a speech by Toad.

1326
01:06:48,104 --> 01:06:50,402
There'll be other speeches
by him later in the evening.

1327
01:06:50,439 --> 01:06:53,408
Then an address by Toad
about, uh...

1328
01:06:53,442 --> 01:06:55,842
the prison system, canals,
horse stealing, et cetera,

1329
01:06:55,878 --> 01:06:58,244
followed by a song from Toad...

1330
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:02,239
and other pieces
performed by the composer, Toad,

1331
01:07:02,284 --> 01:07:04,252
uh... oh...

1332
01:07:04,286 --> 01:07:08,245
I say... not one speech tomorrow?

1333
01:07:08,290 --> 01:07:12,249
N... not one s... s... song?

1334
01:07:12,294 --> 01:07:14,285
[Footsteps coming closer]

1335
01:07:17,633 --> 01:07:21,262
BADGER: Well, I never.
What's keeping him?

1336
01:07:24,807 --> 01:07:29,369
BADGER: Always in the habit
of keeping people waiting.

1337
01:07:29,412 --> 01:07:31,243
TOAD: Not one song. Huh!

1338
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,215
Whose homecoming is it,
I'd like to know?

1339
01:07:36,118 --> 01:07:42,079
When the Toad came home

1340
01:07:42,124 --> 01:07:46,823
When the Toad came home

1341
01:07:46,862 --> 01:07:50,764
There was smashing in
of window

1342
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,768
And crashing in of door

1343
01:07:52,802 --> 01:07:55,270
There was chivvying
of weasels

1344
01:07:55,304 --> 01:07:57,602
That fainted on the floor

1345
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:02,907
When the Toad came home

1346
01:08:02,945 --> 01:08:04,936
Bang go the drums

1347
01:08:04,980 --> 01:08:06,948
The trumpeters are tooting

1348
01:08:06,982 --> 01:08:09,382
And the soldiers
are saluting

1349
01:08:09,418 --> 01:08:10,783
Cannon they are shooting

1350
01:08:10,820 --> 01:08:13,789
And the motorcars
are hooting

1351
01:08:13,823 --> 01:08:16,792
Toot! Toot! Toot!

1352
01:08:16,826 --> 01:08:24,289
As the hero comes

1353
01:08:24,333 --> 01:08:25,823
Oh!

1354
01:08:27,803 --> 01:08:30,294
Don't want my songs, eh?

1355
01:08:30,339 --> 01:08:33,308
Well, it's entirely their loss,
of course.

1356
01:08:33,342 --> 01:08:36,209
Oh, poor fellows.

1357
01:08:36,245 --> 01:08:38,736
Hey ho.

1358
01:08:43,119 --> 01:08:47,317
Shout hurray

1359
01:08:47,356 --> 01:08:51,520
And let each one of the crowd
try and shout it very loud

1360
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:57,499
In honor of an animal
of whom you're very proud

1361
01:08:57,533 --> 01:09:07,738
For it's Toad's great day!

1362
01:09:07,776 --> 01:09:10,609
[Animal speaking indistinctly]

1363
01:09:10,646 --> 01:09:12,375
[Applause]

1364
01:09:17,153 --> 01:09:19,883
NARRATOR: All the animals
cheered when he entered,

1365
01:09:19,922 --> 01:09:25,019
and crowded round to praise his
great courage and cleverness.

1366
01:09:25,060 --> 01:09:27,961
But Toad only smiled,
"Thank you,"

1367
01:09:27,997 --> 01:09:32,832
and murmured, "Not at all.
Badger was the mastermind,

1368
01:09:32,868 --> 01:09:36,395
"and Mole and Water Rat
bore the brunt of the fighting.

1369
01:09:36,438 --> 01:09:41,375
"I merely served in the ranks
and did little or nothing."

1370
01:09:41,410 --> 01:09:43,344
So...

1371
01:09:43,379 --> 01:09:44,676
GIRL: So...

1372
01:09:44,713 --> 01:09:47,238
TOGETHER: He was indeed
an altered Toad.

1373
01:09:47,283 --> 01:09:48,807
[Laughing]

1374
01:09:48,851 --> 01:09:51,217
[Boat whistle]

1375
01:09:52,955 --> 01:09:54,320
There. We're wanted aboard.

1376
01:09:54,356 --> 01:09:55,914
Come along...
all hands to the packing.

1377
01:09:55,958 --> 01:09:58,620
BOY: I want to hear some more!
Is that the end?

1378
01:09:58,661 --> 01:10:00,026
GIRL: Not quite.

1379
01:10:00,062 --> 01:10:03,793
WOMAN: At Badger's command,
Toad sent presents or money...

1380
01:10:03,832 --> 01:10:06,858
to the jailer's daughter
and the engine drivers...

1381
01:10:06,902 --> 01:10:08,699
GIRL: And the barge woman.

1382
01:10:08,737 --> 01:10:10,705
WOMAN: And the barge woman.

1383
01:10:10,739 --> 01:10:12,468
[Bird screeching]

1384
01:10:14,176 --> 01:10:15,734
[Boat whistle]

1385
01:10:21,350 --> 01:10:26,117
WOMAN: Sometimes,
on long summer evenings,

1386
01:10:26,155 --> 01:10:28,851
four friends would take a stroll
together in the Wild Wood.

1387
01:10:28,891 --> 01:10:32,019
Mother weasels would bring
their young ones...

1388
01:10:32,061 --> 01:10:34,086
to the mouths of their holes
and say, "Look!

1389
01:10:34,129 --> 01:10:36,461
"There's the great Mr. Toad,

1390
01:10:36,498 --> 01:10:39,023
"and that's
the gallant Water Rat!

1391
01:10:39,068 --> 01:10:42,902
"And yonder's
the famous Mr. Mole!"

1392
01:10:42,938 --> 01:10:45,406
Whenever their children
were naughty,

1393
01:10:45,441 --> 01:10:48,205
they would be told
if they didn't behave,

1394
01:10:48,244 --> 01:10:51,975
the terrible gray Badger
would up and get them!

1395
01:10:52,014 --> 01:10:54,448
GIRL: But this
was very unfair on Badger...

1396
01:10:54,483 --> 01:10:57,213
because he was
rather fond of children.

1397
01:10:57,253 --> 01:10:59,016
WOMAN: And so am I.

1398
01:10:59,054 --> 01:11:01,079
I daresay Ratty's
out with the others,

1399
01:11:01,123 --> 01:11:03,250
messing about in boats.

1400
01:11:03,292 --> 01:11:06,591
GIRL: Gosh, yes!
We might even see them.

1401
01:11:06,629 --> 01:11:09,097
BADGER: The very next time
this happens,

1402
01:11:09,131 --> 01:11:11,099
I shall be exceedingly angry.

1403
01:11:11,133 --> 01:11:15,695
MOLE: Bother!
Oh, blow! Hang spring... cleaning!

1404
01:11:15,738 --> 01:11:19,105
RAT: I'm not always talking
about my old river,

1405
01:11:19,141 --> 01:11:21,109
but I think about it
all the time.

1406
01:11:21,143 --> 01:11:24,112
TOAD: Been in prison.
I got out, of course.

1407
01:11:24,146 --> 01:11:28,606
Thrown into a canal,
swam ashore, stole a horse.

1408
01:11:28,651 --> 01:11:31,142
I'm such a clever toad.

1409
01:11:33,789 --> 01:11:35,689
GIRL: Oh, wasn't that such fun?

1410
01:11:35,724 --> 01:11:38,625
BOY: What adventures
did they have next?

1411
01:13:11,004 --> 01:13:12,625
