See you around, Cinnamon. Keep an eye out for me. Ooh... What's happened? What am I doing here? Hope I had fun. - [Man] There he is! - Hey, what's the big idea? [Footsteps approaching] - You're under arrest, pal. - What? What for? Espionage and high treason. Bang, bang, kaboom! [laughs] Kablooey. [Making gunfire noises] Kablooey, kablooey, kablooey! Good morning, Admiral Grimitz. Huh... Mr. Civilian McDuck. Just practicing maneuvers. - Wow, toys! - Yeah! All right! I got the blue ones! Dive, dive! Target away! - Ha! You missed! - [Groans]
At ease, little sailors. This isn't a game. These are my Pentagon-issued naval battle simulators. Leave the admiral's toys alone, lads. So, Admiral Grimitz, has the Navy decided to buy my sub? No, the Navy's decided to court martial your nephew. Court martial Donald? Why? He stole the secret computer link to your secret submarine. If the other side gets a hold of it, your ship building contracts go kablooey. Uncle Donald didn't do it! - Yeah! - Yeah! No way! Sorry, little sailors, but we have photographic evidence. Caught him red-handed in black and white on the surveillance camera. - [Scrooge] He looks strange, somehow. - I've always thought so, too. Ooh... Woe is me. Woe is me. Ooh... - [Scrooge] Donald! - [Boys] Uncle Donald! Uncle Scrooge, boys! I didn't do it! We know you're innocent. You may be a blabbermouth, but not a blabbermouth that'd sell out his country or his favorite uncle. You'd never be a spy, would you, Uncle Donald? Of course not!
All I remember is looking into a beautiful woman's eyes. Next thing I knew, I was arrested. That he was. Coming out of the Cloak and Dagger Club of all places. You say you looked into a woman's eyes, then don't remember anything? - [Donald] Uh-huh. - I'd say you've been hypnotized. Ha! That's a good one. Hypnosis? Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! [laughs] Hypnosis? It's when you walk around in a daze and don't know what you're doing. That sounds like Uncle Donald, all right. Don't worry, Donald, we'll get to the bottom of this. Hurry, Uncle Scrooge. They're going to court martial me at noon. I'm afraid your nephew's career in the Navy is, well, kablooey, if you know what I mean. - [Indistinct chatter] - The Cloak and Dagger Club. Never a more despicable den of spies in the entire world. Secrets, effendi. Only 50 dollars American. Do you know about the secret submarine? The master computer link was stolen last night. Mmm... That is a secret worth knowing. That'll be 50 bucks. Certainly, effendi.
A most reasonable price. Gee! This spy business is all right. Tomorrow night, the Kaldevian Embassy. Tell no one. The seagull perches on the steeple in the rain. And frogs fly in the wind. Very good. What do you wish to know, chum? What do you know of a beautiful woman with hypnotic eyes? That could only be Miss Cinnamon Teal. You stay here, boys. A-ha! How dare you burst in on me that way! It's a bit difficult to knock on a beaded curtain. What do you want, stranger? I've come to find out why you hypnotized my nephew into stealing that secret sub computer link. Me? Why, I'm not a spy. Just look into my innocent eyes. Ha! You have to get up pretty early in the morning to put one over on old Scrooge McDuck. I'm not putting one over on you. I'm putting one under on you. Whoa! If Cinnamon Teal thinks dumping me in the cellar is going to get rid of me, she... Aah! ...could be right. I'd better destroy the evidence against me before anyone else comes around. What?
He tricked me! These documents are fake! Victor Loser still has the real documents. Uncle Scrooge? We all saw him go in here. There must be another way out. - Hey, look! - Pull it and see what happens. Whoa! [Both screaming] Hey, wait for me! [Screaming] [Boys continue screaming] [Boys continue screaming] [All gasp] [Huey] Let go of my Uncle Scrooge! [All grunting, groaning] [Cinnamon] Stop it. All of you. Stranger, I need your help. You have a mighty strange way of asking for it. This is my cousin, Ho. [All] Hi, Ho! We've already met. In fact, we're very close. Now, young lady, why should I help you? The one who has your computer link also has documents belonging to me. If we trust each other, we can both get what we want. Look me in the eye and say that. No!
Don't look me in the eye. [Chuckling] Well, I suppose I'll just have to trust you. [Grimitz] What a wonderful day for a court martial, Mr. Roberts. [Donald walls] Woe is me, woe is me. [Grimitz] Seaman Donald Duck, you have been found guilty of high treason and espionage. And for that, it's my sad duty to drum you out of the Navy. I said, "Drum you out of the Navy." - [Drumming stops] - Turn in your duffel bag, traitor. Ooh... [wails] My stripes. [Scrooge] Wait, Admiral Grimitz, I have proof that Donald is innocent. Proof? What kind of proof? I brought the lass who hypnotized him. Oh, I don't believe in that hocus pocus, Mr. Civilian. Look into my eyes, admiral. Aw, nobody can be hypnoti... Now, admiral, you are a dainty ballerina. Your wish is my command. [Chuckling] I love spying, and I'm not lying. Stop dancing, my little ballerina, and awake. - What's this? - Hypnosis, Admiral Grimitz. And proof my nephew Donald was not responsible for his actions. Unless, of course, you really are a ballerina. - [Alarm ringing] - What's that? The secret submarine! - Someone's stealing it!
- My kablooey machine! - What are your orders, admiral? - Somebody do something! I'll save it, Admiral Grimitz! [Shouts] Don't give up the ship, Seaman Duck. Aye-aye, sir. Come to papa, my secret sub. Soon you will be mine. [Cackling] And I will sell you to the highest bidder. You boys stay on the carrier where it's safe. Whoa. Now a-sailing we will go. [Chuckles] Dive, dive! Who am I talking to? I am the captain and the crew. Hey, what's going on? Aah! So nice of you to drop in and tie yourself up, Seaman Dumkoff. Let me out of this! What's the big idea? I like tying almost as much as I like spying. Weigh anchor! We'll block the port with the carrier. Nobody gets past me, little sailors. The sub has to be close by. Look. [Scrooge] A-ha! It's coming up.
They think they can stop me with a carrier when I got the super torpedoes? You'll never get away with this. And who is going to stop me? [Grunting] [Cinnamon] Victor is going to fire torpedoes at the aircraft carrier. [Scrooge] My wee laddies are on that ship! I may fire when I'm ready. And I'm ready! Torpedoes! [Speaking German] The torpedoes. They're chasing us! Take a swim, lass. It's safer than driving with me. Well, there's plenty more where those came from. Fire torpedoes. [speaks German] Uh, what was I saying again? Say, what's going on here? Hiya, toots. [Grimitz] Well, it's all over and nothing important went kablooey. These must be your documents, Cinnamon. Take him away. I can't thank you enough, Scroogie. Here's your court martial papers, Seaman Duck. And here's the Navy contracts for 20 more submarines, Mr. Civilian. Just what I've been waiting for. And this is what I've been waiting for. And this is what I've been waiting for. [Boys] Yey! [Clears throat] "Seaman Donald Duck, you have been found guilty of high treason, and..." Hear!
These aren't ship building contracts! You tore up my contracts! [Wailing and grumbling] Life is like a hurricane Here in Duckburg Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes It's a duck-blur Might solve a mystery Or rewrite history DuckTales, ooh-ooh Every day they're out there making DuckTales Ooh-ooh Tales of derring-do, bad and good-luck tales D- d-d-danger!

Extra! Read all about it! Extra!
Extra! Read all about it! Scrooge McDuck discovers locked vault of Aladdin, Expedition to find magic lamp, underway! Have my jet plane ready for take off in half an hour! We can beat McDuck to that magic lamp, He's going by camel, Uh, but how are we gonna find it, Mr, Glomgold? We don't have the map, Oh, but we do, boys, (laughs) We do! The vault of Aladdin is somewhere on that mountain, Do you think there really is a magic lamp? With a magic genie? That will give you three wishes? Wish I knew, (Glomgold) McDuck won't find the plane on this side of the mountain, Once I get my hands on that lamp, he'll wish he'd never found that map! (chuckles) Boy, Aladdin sure didn't want anybody to find his lamp, did he? That's probably why he hid it on a mountain in the middle of an unexplored desert! It was wise of him to hide it, In the wrong hands, the lamp of Aladdin could be very dangerous, (pants) We can't go on! Bah! Then I'll go on alone! You just can't get good lackeys, these days, The lost vault! Won't budge an inch, but I think I know the combination, (giggles)
(Scrooge grunts) We must be on the wrong side of the mountain, boys, We'll rest a while, then start down the other side, (explosion) Yeow! (DeWey) Brace yourselves! (coughs) Yakmeduty! The vault of Aladdin! Are you all right, Uncle Scrooge? (Scrooge) Aye, boys, I'm fine! It's the vault we've been looking for! Here it is, the golden lamp, It really does exist! Hello, who is there? (gasps) Glomgold! McDuck! (gasps) The lamp! - Oh, no, you don't! - Oh, yes, I do! Hey, let go! - It's mine! - Mine! - Mine! - Mine! - Mine! - Mi, Aah! - Let go! - You let go! - You!
- You! - You! - You! Yipes! Oh, my, what a relief! (giggles) I feel like I've been cooped up in that lamp for centuries! (gasps) 12 centuries to be exact! Ooh, I knew Aladdin would do something like this! Oh, well, Which of you is my new master? - Me! - I am! You lying rascal, the lamp is mine! - I found it first, - You did not! - Did too! - Did not! - Did too! - That's no way for my master to act, Which ever one of you he is, Which of you rubbed the lamp first? Rubbed? Ooh, yes, yes, (chuckles) I guess we both rubbed it at the same time, - Did not! - Don't start that again, A genie is forbidden to serve two masters, We must find a way to settle this, Now, let me see, (Huey) Last one down is a rotten egg! I win!
Huh? Ouch! Ugh! That's it! (Genie) Ugh! When will I learn not to do that! - Quackaroonie! - The magic genie! (giggles) Now, here's what we're going to do, You two will have a race! Whoever wins becomes the master of the lamp! A race? From where to where? From this very spot back to, where you live! - Yes, that's it! The first one home, - Now, wait just a minute, Genie! My house is on the other side of Duckburg! I have farther to go! - It's the same distance! - Is not! - Is too! - Is not! All right, all right! Is there one location you can agree on as a finish? (both) No! - Well, at least you agree on that, - (DeWey) I know! How about the Duckburg Ice Cream Parlor? Sure! Uncle Scrooge and Mr, Glomgold see each other there all the time!
By accident, of course, So be it! I will go to this "Duckburg You Scream Parlor" to officially judge the finish! Unfortunately, it means more lamp cramps, Wait! You can stay at my place, Hot meals, clean sheets, swimming pool, until the race is over, Trying to butter him up, eh, McDuck? My nephews and my staff will take good care of you, We will? (giggles) It would be nice to have someone serve me for a change, All right, It's agreed, (gasps) The boys! Where did they,? (gasps) Glomgold! Lt'll be such a relief when the boys are safe at home, - Eek! - I say! Hi, Mrs, Beakley! Guess who's coming to dinner? (grunts) I'd like you to meet two of my associates, McDuck! Oh, I see you've already met! How do you do? Heh-heh! Still a cheater, eh, Glomgold? I look at it this way: Why not? (chuckles)
Excellent meal, Mrs, Beakley, Thank you, Not hungry, children? - We're worried about Uncle Scrooge, - I understand, Until this silly race is over, none of us will feel like doing anything, That was delicious! Now, exactly what is a "swimming pool"? I'll hand it to Glomgold, Not only is he going to get the three wishes, he'll get all the gold as well, - What gold? - Why, that vault is full of it! Just like him to keep it all for himself, Come on! They trust Glomgold about as much as I do! Ah! Thanks for the loan of the rope, Glomgold! This ought to make his path a little rocky! (laughs) (laughs) (laughing) How did that feel, Mc, (rumble) Uh-oh! Yeow! Glomgold! - Are you all right? - My airplane! It's wrecked! So, that's how you got here, At least I'm back where I belong! In the lead! (chuckles)
Ugh! What a rotten guy, Wee! This is more refreshing than the Fountains of Fatima or the Great Waterfalls of Saladin! I bet Uncle Scrooge could use a dip in the pool, about now, I could sure use a nice dip in the pool, about now, Ugh! I hope the boys are all right! If I don't make it, at least they'll be well taken care of, But if Glomgold gets those three wishes, he won't leave them with a dime! I've got to make it! I've never seen anything like it! What's it called again? Television, But we don't feel like watching TV, Mr, Genie, We're worried about Uncle Scrooge, Oh, he's fine! Look! He's on another channel! - Poor Uncle Scrooge! - He's making me thirsty! More lemonade, Duckworth, There's a good man, Time for bed, boys, You've had a long day, Not as long as Uncle Scrooge's day! My, those two certainly are serious about this thing! Give up, Glomgold! You can't keep up with me! (panting) - I'm younger than you are! - You are not! - I am, too!
- Are not! - Am, too! - Are not! Am, too! (laughing) - That will be all, Duckworth, - Very good, sir, But not very nice, Ah, this is the life! I almost feel like a master, myself! (giggles) Now, watch him and you'll see what I mean, children, (sighs) But no matter who wins the race, I'm the one who loses! I'll be a servant, again, (laughs) But! No one can win a race that never ends! I'll send them back in time! They won't even have a home to race home to! Why, that, Sands of the desert, fly with the wind, back to the days of sim-salla-bim! (Scrooge) This way! Huh? Desert bandits! - We're doomed! - Nonsense, it's just a mirage, Maybe not! (man) Do not deny you are agents sent by the Emir! He would do anything to rescue his greatest treasure - the star of the heavens, the flower of the desert, the end of the road, the beautiful Schwebazade, Teller of a thousand and one tales of the desert, What do you have to say for yourselves?
(both) Wa-water! Feed these spies to the crocodiles! I was hoping for water without crocodiles in it! (crocodiles hiss) Lucky the water is too low for them to reach us, (Glomgold) Oh, no! Our crocodiles are especially fond of spies, - Salaam, good Captain, - Schwebazade! I thought I might make your duty more bearable with one of my stories, Oh, we'd be most pleased, fair Schwebazade, - It'll help pass the time, - Oh, that's wonderful! Things were beginning to drag on, In the days before the sultans, back when camel tribes and shepherds roamed the desert sands, a beautiful princess was loved by a lowly stable boy, who stood in great disfavor with her father, a great and powerful king, But her love was strong, and her will, undeniable! So she left the palace that very night, (snoring) ,and made her way across the desert, where she sold her camel and bought a new hat, Hurry! They're asleep, Huh? Oh, yes, I can't imagine why, Must not escape! What will we do? - Let's jump him! - With his magic powers? We'll have to trick him! Precisely what I had in mind, This way!
Oh, desert blossoms! The great Sultan is here for his daily harem inspection, (chuckles) (girls giggle) Well! How did two camel humps like you, become part of the finest harem in the land? Two-for-one sale? (girls giggle) A story, great Sultan? Schwebazade, I've been looking for you! - Yes, a story! - (girls) A story! There was once a very young, but very powerful sultan in the land of the great desert, Every night the little sultan closed his eyes, fell asleep and dreamed of the day when he would be a big little sultan, (all snoring) Works every time! - Wake up, brave ones! - Huh? Oh! You do have a way with words, Schwebazade, (chuckles) This way, - Have a nice ride, fair ladies! - Oh, we will! (giggles) It's the spies! Sound the alarm! Ow! Ouch! Glomgold, you fool! Get back here! Ignore the stupid one!
Give up! There's no escape! (soldiers yell) Schwebazade, it is I, (gasps) The Emir! Yikes! It's the Emir's Camel Troops! Flee! Flee! This is better than a cartoon! (Webbigail) Oh, Mr, Genie! Uh, yes, dearie? I thought you might like some milk and cookies while you watch the late show, Cookies? Did you really live in that itsy-bitsy lamp? For thousand of years, Oh, you couldn't even fit in there, - I certainly can, - Uh-uh, you're fibbing me, Oh, yeah? Watch this! (Huey) Aha! Hey! Let me out of here! Let me out of here! What do you think you're doing? We're not letting you out till you bring Uncle Scrooge back to our time! Yes, sweet Schwebazade, it is back to the Golden city of Somnambula, where the people await your glorious tales, wide-eyed! Farewell, brave one, Wow, that was some kiss!
Yeow! I say, old boy, that was quite a trick! For a moment, I thought you were an exceptionally ridiculous mirage, You aren't, are you? Quick! Get me to the nearest airport! Watch your step, sir, (gasping) Get, get me to the lamp! Easy, Uncle Scrooge, There's something you oughta know, - What's that? - That's what! I've been waiting for you, McDuck! I didn't want you to miss this! So, Master, what is your first wish? I wish Scrooge McDuck were marooned on a desert island! Your wish is my command! Oh, I wish I could see the expression on Scrooge's face! (laughs) Your second wish is my command! No, wait, I, Oh, no! Alone on a desert island with Scrooge McDuck, What could be worse? I wish we'd never found this blasted lamp! Yeow! (DeWey) Brace yourselves! (coughs) Yakmeduty! The vault of Aladdin!
Why, it's empty! You all right Uncle Scrooge? Aye, boys, I'm fine, Hello, who's there? (gasps) Glomgold! McDuck! The lamp! - Oh, no, you don't, - Oh, yes, I do, Stop, Glomgold, Something tells me I'm very angry with you! Stop! Last one down is a rotten egg! The roof is caving in! (Genie) Hello, anybody out there? Anybody out there? subs by tarun OK, I'M ROLLING. SPEED. CAMERA'S READY. AND, RONA, YOU ARE LIVE! NO NEW EPISODE AGAIN, AND AMERICA WANTS TO KNOW WHY.

CHILL FOR A SECOND, WILL YOU?
INAGADDAVIDA, YOU ARE SO SERIOUS. YOU WANT ME TO APOLOGIZE- I DON'T WANT YOU TO APOLOGIZE. I WANT YOU TO CHANGE. CHANGE? YES, CHANGE. DON'T YOU SEE? YOU ENCOURAGE THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE. YOU SET AN EXAMPLE. SO, YOU'VE REALLY GIVEN THIS YOUR BEST SHOT? ABSOLUTELY! POSITIVELY! I MEAN, THERE'S A PROBLEM HERE BUT IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM.

YOU REALIZE, WE ACTUALLY TALKED SERIOUSLY ABOUT GOING INTO BUSINESS TOGETHER AT ONE TIME. BUT, UH-WELL, IT DIDN'T WORK OUT. I WENT IN ANOTHER DIRECTION. ALL RIGHT, I'VE BEEN TIPPYTOEING AROUND THIS SITUATION. YOU'VE BEEN TIPPYTOEING AROUND THIS SITUATION. LET ME ASK YOU THE QUESTION. SEX. I'M SORRY? SEX. I'M SORRY. SEX? IS THAT THE QUESTION? YES. SEX. YOU AND DAVID. I'LL BE HONEST, MADDIE- AND I THINK AMERICA ALSO BELIEVES THIS- THAT THE ROOT OF YOUR PROBLEM IS SEX. SEX? SEX. CERTAINLY IT'S CROSSED YOUR MIND.
I MEAN, THE TWO OF YOU MUST'VE CONSIDERED IT. YOU MUST HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT. PAUL mccane IS A DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING. HE'S DEAD. GOOD. HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED. YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. GIVEN THE IMMORAL WAY HE LIVED HIS LIFE, HIS VIOLENT DEATH COMES AS NO SURPRISE TO ME. YOU'RE MAD BECAUSE HE BOINKED A COUPLE HAUSFRAUS? I'M NOT HAVING THIS CONVERSATION. WE'RE NOT TAKING THIS CASE. YOU'RE WEIRD. THIS IS VERY MEANINGFUL. HUMPTY DUMPTY IS CALLING ME CRACKED! NO, NO, NO. YOU'RE REPRESSED OR OBSESSED OR ONE OF THOSE "ESS" WORDS. EVERY TIME SOMETHING COMES UP THAT INVOLVES MEN OR SEX- BOINKING. IS THAT THE WORD YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? SEE WHAT I MEAN? THAT'S NOT NORMAL. I'M SUPPOSED TO SIT HERE AND DISCUSS MY MENTAL HEALTH WITH A MAN WHO REFERS TO THE ACT OF HUMAN PROCREATION AS BOINKING? SEE? SEE WHAT I MEAN? RIGHT AWAY YOU GET ALL STIFF AND TENSE. NO, NO, NO. NOT RIGHT AWAY!
NOT WITH EVERYBODY. NOT WITH ANYBODY. JUST YOU. YOU MAKE ME STIFF AND TENSE. I MAKE YOU STIFF AND TENSE BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY PERSON IN YOUR LIFE. HA! WHAT? ARE YOU DENYING IT? ARE YOU SAYING THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE IN YOUR LIFE? ARE YOU DENYING THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NOT IN BED ALONE EVERY NIGHT BY 9:30? THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE IN MY LIFE. PLENTY! NAME ONE. I WILL NOT. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T! BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE. BECAUSE YOU'RE REPRESSED OR OBSESSED OR ONE OF THOSE "ESS" WORDS. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE NOT GONNA TAKE THIS CASE. THIS GREAT CASE. I'M NOT LISTENING TO YOU. BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU CRAZY TO THINK THAT ANYBODY OUT THERE IS BOINKING WHEN YOU CAN'T. I CAN'T HEAR YOU. BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU CRAZY THAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS OUT THERE BOINKING. THE WHOLE WORLD EXCEPT YOU. BOINK! SHUT UP! BOINK. BOINK, BOINK, BOINK, BOINK, BOINK, BOINK. BOINK, BOINK, BOINK, CAN'T YOU HEAR THEM OUT THERE?
STOP IT, DAVID! BOINK, BOINK, BOINK... GET OUT OF MY CAR! BOINK, BOINK, BOINK, BOINK, BOINK... GET OUT OF MY CAR! WHOA! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK? I THINK THAT UNDERNEATH IT ALL, YOU TWO KIDS ARE CRAZY ABOUT EACH OTHER. COME HERE, STUPID. IT'S OK. IT'S OK. I'LL BE JUST FINE. IT'S NOT THAT. WHAT, THEN? YOU SMELL AWFUL. HEY, I DIDN'T MEAN IT. COME HERE. HEY, I WAS ONLY KIDDING. COME HERE. CRAZY ABOUT EACH OTHER? I DON'T KNOW. I KNOW. YOU'RE CRAZY ABOUT EACH OTHER. WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME? IF I COULD GET THE TWO OF YOU IN A ROOM TOGETHER, WOULD YOU AT LEAST TALK? DAVID AND I TOGETHER? I DON'T KNOW. MADDIE...
FOR ME? FOR YOU, RONA? YEAH, I GUESS. FOR YOU, RONA. ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE MISS DIPESTO. YOU'RE THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE. TALK TO ME. WHAT'S IT LIKE? WELL, RONA, IT'S HARD. IT'S REALLY HARD. I MEAN, THEY COME IN HERE, THEY SLAM THE DOORS... THEY YELL AT EACH OTHER. AAH! AAH! OW! "EASY COME, EASY GO." HA! I'M YOUR LIFELINE, HONEY. WITHOUT ME- WITHOUT YOU, I WOULDN'T BE HERE AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PROVE A WOMAN WHO SEEMS TO HAVE KILLED A MAN, DIDN'T. AND A MAN WHO- WHO SEEMS TO NOT HAVE, DID! YOU ARE JEALOUS. OF WHAT, OF WHO? OF GILLIAN. BOY, HAVE YOU GOT IT BACKWARDS. THE ONLY PERSON AROUND HERE WHO HAS AN EMOTIONAL PROBLEM IS YOU, NOT ME. AND THE EMOTION ISN'T JEALOUSY, IT'S LUST!
LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME THAT IF I HADN'T KNOWN GILLIAN BEFORE, YOU WOULD AT LEAST CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT HER LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER. LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME, IF IT HAD BEEN ANYONE ELSE YOU WOULD HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO TRY TO FIND A REASON TO STICK SO CLOSE? YOU ARE. YOU'RE JEALOUS. STOP REASONING WITH YOUR UNDERWEAR. DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HELP ME TAKE THIS CASE? WHAT CASE? THERE IS NO CASE? SHE DIDN'T HIRE US TO GO BY HER HOTEL ROOM EVERY NIGHT. SHE DIDN'T? NO, SHE DIDN'T. YOU COULD'VE FOOLED ME. A GNAT WITH A LOBOTOMY COULD FOOL YOU. I DON'T GET IT. KEEP THIS UP AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU. I MEAN, IF ANYONE, ANYWHERE, EVER HAD A REASON, NOT ONLY TO BELIEVE, BUT TO BE THANKFUL... I MEAN, HE'S GIVEN YOU BEAUTY. HE'S GIVEN YOU BRAINS. HE'S GIVEN YOU ME! ADDISON, LET ME OUT OF THIS DOOR! AAH! SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TICK OFF THE BIG GUY? SOMETIMES THEY YELL AT THE SAME TIME. I'M NOT SAYING THAT AT ALL!
I'M AS LOOSEY-GOOSEY AS THE NEXT PERSON. ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT SPONTANEITY HAS ITS TIME AND PLACE. HAVEN'T YOU EVER BEEN IN A STORE AND SEEN SOMETHING... I DON'T SEE THE POINT OF ALL THIS! TIPPLES WAS A FAKE... ALL BETS ARE OFF? ALL DEALS ARE NULL AND VOID... AND AS FOR OUR DEAL, THE ONLY WAY YOU GET ME TO GO THROUGH WITH IT, WHEN THERE'S PLENTY OF ROPE AND A BOTTLE OF CHLOROFORM! WHY AM I ASKING? HE'LL JUST TELL ME... LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE DEPRESSED. THIS IS NORMAL... WHY AM I LIVING THIS LIFE? I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO DESERVE THIS. AND THROUGH IT ALL, YOU HAVE TO STAY COOL, DON'T YOU? I'M KIND OF THE GLUE THAT HOLDS IT ALL TOGETHER. TELL ME... HAVE YOU EVER FOUGHT WITH EITHER ONE OF THEM? WELL, I FOUGHT WITH MR. ADDISON ONCE. NO CUTE APOLOGIES. I DON'T WANT A CUTE APOLOGY. YOU WERE MEAN TO ME, MR. ADDISON, FOR NO GOOD REASON, OTHER THAN YOU WERE IN A BAD MOOD, AND THAT STINKS! LOTS OF TIMES, I'M IN A BAD MOOD, LOTS OF TIMES! BUT I'M NOT MEAN TO YOU. YOU THINK BECAUSE YOU MAKE MORE MONEY THAN I DO THAT YOU CAN JUST BE MEAN TO ME?
NO- THAT'S ALL! AND... SOMETIMES I THINK I MAKE MISS HAYES UPSET. GOOD AFTERNOON, MISS HAYES. GRR! THAT MAN BELONGS IN A POUND. A POUND OF WHAT? DEEP DOWN INSIDE, I KNOW THAT THEY BOTH KNOW THAT I REALLY LOVE THEM. YOU REMEMBER HOW GREAT THINGS WERE BEFORE WHAT'S HER NAME SHOWED UP? MISS HAYES? I MEAN, WAS THIS A GREAT JOB, OR WHAT? IT WAS! GOOD PEOPLE, GOOD TIMES, A GREAT GIG. NO DEADLINES, NO ARGUMENTS, NO PRESSURE... NO CASES... BUT IT WAS GREAT. YEAH, IT WAS. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH... I MISS HER, TOO. ARE YOU SURE? I'M SURE. ACCORDING TO DONAHUE, I'M AT MY PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL PEAK RIGHT... NOW. WELL, DONAHUE OUGHT TO KNOW. ANYWAY, YOU KNOW THE MAN WHO COMES BY TO SELL SANDWICHES IN THE MORNING? MR. SANDWICH?
HIS NAME IS NEIL. HE ASKED ME TO HAVE DINNER WITH HIM. NOT JUST SANDWICHES, EITHER-HOT FOOD. HOT FOOD? WE'RE CLOSE. WE'RE VERY, VERY CLOSE. AND WE'RE HONEST. WE'RE VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY HONEST WITH EACH OTHER. ALL RIGHT. SO, WHY DO YOU THINK THEY'RE FIGHTING? ARE THEY GONNA SEE THIS? SURE. THEY MIGHT. I'M SORRY. I CAN'T ANSWER THAT. MR. VIOLA, AS THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE FAMILY, WHAT DO YOU THINK'S GOING ON HERE? WELL... CANDIDLY? IT'S A LITTLE STRANGE. BUT THEN... THIS WHOLE PLACE IS A LITTLE STRANGE. NO, SHE'S NOT. YES, SHE IS. NO, SHE'S NOT. YES, SHE IS. NO, SHE'S NOT. LET'S ASK THEM- IS SHE OUT THERE? WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MAN WITH A MOLE ON HIS NOSE. MOLE ON HIS NOSE?
A MOLE ON HIS NOSE! WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES? WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES? WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES, DO YOU SUPPOSE? WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES DO I SUPPOSE WOULD BE WORN BY A MAN WITH A MOLE ON HIS NOSE? WHO KNOWS? DID I HAPPEN TO MENTION? DID I BOTHER TO DISCLOSE, THIS MAN THAT WE'RE SEEKING WITH A MOLE ON HIS NOSE? I'M NOT SURE OF HIS CLOTHES OR ANYTHING ELSE, EXCEPT HE'S CHINESE. A BIG CLUE BY ITSELF. HOW DO YOU DO THAT? YOU GOTTA READ A LOT OF DR. SEUSS. I'M SORRY TO SAY. I'M SAD TO REPORT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYONE AT ALL OF THAT SORT, NOT A MAN WHO'S CHINESE WITH A MOLE ON HIS NOSE. WITH SOME KIND OF CLOTHES THAT YOU CAN'T SUPPOSE. SO, GET AWAY FROM THIS DOOR AND GET OUT OF THIS PLACE, OR I'LL HAVE TO HURT YOU, PUT MY FOOT IN YOUR FACE. OH. TIME TO GO. TIME TO GO!

AND I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FIG ABOUT PEOPLE WHO DO. WELL, I'M AT A LOSS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT A FLYING FIG IS. THAT'S OK. THEY DO. WELL, NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS. YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T WRITTEN ABOUT AT THE TIME OR TALKED ABOUT, BUT MADDIE HAYES AND I USED TO GO OUT TOGETHER. IT DIDN'T LAST TOO LONG BECAUSE, UH... IT WASN'T MADDIE'S FAULT, IT WAS MY FAULT. I...

WE WENT AROUND TOGETHER FOR A WHILE. I MUST SAY, I'M NOT SURPRISED THAT DAVID AND SHE ARE HAVING SOME PROBLEMS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, MADDIE IS VERY BRIGHT, VERY INTELLIGENT,
AND SELF-ASSURED AND STRONG... TOUGH. HE'S GOING TO LOSE. ALL RIGHT, I'VE SPOKEN WITH HER. DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT SHE SAID? SHE SAYS YOU EMBARRASS HER. SHE SAYS YOU TAKE GREAT DELIGHT IN EMBARRASSING HER. I EMBARRASS HER? IS THAT WHAT SHE TOLD YOU? I EMBARRASS HER? GREAT. I TAKE IT, YOU DON'T AGREE? NO, I DON'T AGREE. WELL, THAT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME, GIVEN THE HISTORY OF DISAGREEMENT IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP. THERE'S NO TALKING TO YOU. YOU CAN TALK TO ME. NO, I CAN'T. YES, YOU CAN! ONE BULLET, ALIVE. 2 BULLETS, DEAD.

THAT'S WHAT I THINK. NOT THAT I CARE. I DON'T CARE. I'M JUST HURT, THAT'S ALL. I MEAN, I THINK, IF SHE'S GOING TO GO FOR SOMEBODY, SHE SHOULD GO FOR ME, THAT'S ALL. NOT THAT SHE HAS TO GO FOR ME. I DON'T-I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT. OK. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. I'M INSECURE. THERE. I ADMIT IT. IT'S OUT, ALL RIGHT? IT'S NORMAL, RIGHT? DID I HAPPEN TO MENTION THIS OTHER GUY'S DEAD?

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY LIONS GATE HOME ENTERTAINMENT major funding for american experience with captioning is provided by the alfred p. sloan foundation. national corporate funding is provided by liberty mutual and the scotts company. american experience is also made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting and by: funding for the re-release of eyes on the prize made possible by: and: narrator: in 1954, the supreme court said black children would go to school with white. the south said "never." ( shouting ) man: in the name of god, whom we all revere, in the name of liberty we hold so dear, in the name of decency which we all cherish, what is happening in america? narrator: was this the start of a new civil war? ♪ i know the one thing we did right ♪ ♪ was the day we started to fight ♪ ♪ keep your eyes on the prize, hold on ♪ ♪ keep your eyes on the prize, hold on. ♪ desegregation is against the bible. i find my scripture for this in genesis 9:27, where god did segregate and separate the three sons of noah, sending one out to be a servant while the other two remained in the tabernacle. i say that god has given nowhere in his bible any right to men to end a curse that he's placed upon any human flesh. all the people of the south are in favor of segregation, and supreme court or no supreme court, we are going to maintain segregated schools down in dixie.
it wasn't funny then; it's still not funny. but suddenly, we have the 14th amendment that took 100 years, brought on by the civil war, suddenly must be complied with: equal treatment under the law. and that was a resistance. "they are not going to get equal treatment. "what do you mean? go to school with my little darlin'?" that is why resistance. narrator: in the late 1950s, the battle for civil rights was fought in the classrooms of the south. the supreme court had ruled in a case called brown v. board of education that segregated schools were unconstitutional under the 14th amendment. many southerners saw the decision as an attack on their heritage and traditions. the battle lines were drawn. i think we were not really quite prepared for the extent to which the south would resist the implementation of the brown decision. in fact, the shutting down of the n.a.a.c.p. in alabama, the resistance evidenced in places like virginia and arkansas, the legislative investigations committees in florida and in other states really frightened us. narrator: and the white resistance could also be violent. in february 1956, a black woman named autherine lucy was quietly admitted to the all-white university of alabama. but the night after she arrived, students and townspeople began a riot. crowd ( chanting ): two, four, six, eight, we don't want to integrate! two, four, six, eight, we don't want to integrate! ( cheering ) narrator: the university suspended lucy temporarily, it said, for her own protection. and autherine lucy sued, claiming that mob rule was being allowed to overturn the law. what brought about these actions, i feel, is that lawless elements outside the campus set themselves over and above the law. their actions brought great discredit to our nation. the charge has been made and made by some fairly moderate people-- gradualists, you might call them-- that the n.a.a.c.p., whose general counsel you are, is moving too far, too fast; that following the decision of the supreme court, you would have been well advised to let things move along gradually for a while, that you can't overthrow the prejudices of 300 years overnight.
maybe you can't override prejudice overnight, but the emancipation proclamation was issued in 19... 1863-- 90-odd years ago. i believe in gradualism. i also believe that 90-odd years is pretty gradual. narrator: autherine lucy won her case, but the board of trustees expelled her anyway for saying the university had used the riots to keep her out. across the south, the lucy case gave resisting whites hope. if they were willing to use violence to fight the law, it seemed they could keep black children in black schools. and it seemed the federal government would not step in. after the riots, the president spoke only of extremists on both sides. he worried, like much of the country, about moving too fast on school integration. i personally believe if you try to go too far, too fast in laws in this delicate field that has involved the emotions of so many millions of americans, you're making a mistake. i believe we've got to have laws that go along with education and understanding, and i believe if you go beyond that at any one time, you cause trouble rather than benefit. narrator: it was over a year before the black community would find its chance to fight back here in little rock, arkansas, 1957. little rock was a moderate southern city in a moderate southern state. by 1956, both the state universities and the city buses were integrated. its school board made plans to desegregate slowly. the first year, 1957, nine black teenagers would attend one school, central high. little rock's black leaders were hopeful. we have a very enlightened group of people in arkansas. and they have accepted everything else. they accepted bus integration without any fanfare and they would take the school integration as just another going to school. the black children were not getting a chance and they needed it. they needed it more than anyone, and we were very strongly in favor of that, and could see that integration would improve that. but we did, at that stage, have fears, and they were, i guess, just naturally inborn, emotional fears. and so we needed some help from the officials-- the state officials, the county, the city officials and primarily from governor faubus as to what he told the people, whether it was the law or not. narrator: governor orval faubus of arkansas was a moderate by southern standards, a man the black community had supported. but in his last election, he'd faced tough opponents, and he knew he'd need the segregationist vote if he wanted to be reelected.
the night before school opened, faubus made a decision. i have, therefore, in accordance with the solemn responsibilities and the oath of my office, taken the following action: units of the national guard have been and are now being mobilized with the mission to maintain or restore the peace and good order of this community. advance units are already on duty on the grounds of central high school. narrator: the arkansas national guard ringed the school with orders to admit only the white students. it shocked the country. state troops were now being used to prevent enforcement of federal law. at the center of the crisis were these nine teenagers selected by the school board because of their excellent grades. the first day, eight of the nine went to school together, accompanied by their parents and ministers. they expected some harassment, but no real trouble. man: you could cut it with a knife, the tension outside the school with these people who had come in from other parts of the state, other states. there were license plates from all other states that were there, people who had come in and were outside our school. narrator: the eight children and the adults with them were turned away by the national guard. the ninth student, elizabeth eckford, had missed the call to gather with the others before school. elizabeth eckford walked alone and met a mob. can you tell me your name, please? are you going to go to school here at central high? you don't care to say anything, is that right? this girl here was the first negro apparently of high school age to show up at central high school the day that the federal court ordered it integrated. she was followed in front of the school by an angry crowd, many of them shouting epithets at her. man: why, it has to be the most frightening thing. i mean, because she had a crowd of white people behind her, threatening to kill her. she had nobody. i mean, there was not a black face in sight anywhere, nobody that she could turn to as a friend except that this woman came out of the crowd and guided her through the mob and onto the bus and got her home safely. narrator:
the black parents and the n.a.a.c.p. went back to court. the leader of the state organization, daisy bates, became the students' strongest supporter. the national n.a.a.c.p. saw this case as a showdown for desegregation and they assisted the local lawyers. we consider this case important as one of the segregation cases, but in addition to the fact that this one involved the appearance of the national guard on the scene and for the first time in any of our cases, it's the action of the governor that eventually will have to be brought into court. reporter: then you see it as a state-federal conflict of authority? oh, i don't think there's any question about that. narrator: the question was whether the federal government would assert its authority. the pressure on the president increased. defiance of federal law seemed to be spreading from little rock here to north little rock, to nashville, tennessee, and to charlotte, north carolina. ( students talking loudly ) man: get the microphone in here. narrator: some people blamed eisenhower for this resistance, saying his lack of leadership on civil rights encouraged the extremists. man: president eisenhower's position was that he was the president of all the people. he felt that his role was to talk to the moderates throughout the country, including the southern states. he felt that, and was told by many advisers, that governor faubus could be reasoned with and that an amicable solution could be found to the little rock crisis. narrator: in mid-september, the president and the governor had a meeting at eisenhower's vacation home in newport, rhode island. the president thought that he had persuaded governor faubus to go back and allow the black children to enter the high school peaceably. and it was quite a surprise to him. he felt let down when governor faubus decided against allowing the black children to enter the high school. narrator: eisenhower had convinced faubus that ultimately the state could not resist federal authority. faubus changed his tactic. he simply removed the national guard, leaving only city police in an explosive situation as the little rock nine entered central high school. woman:
we entered the side of the building-- thousands of people out front. and we were entering the side, and i could just get a glimpse and on the car radio i could hear that there was a mob. and i knew what a mob meant. and i knew that the sounds that came from the crowd were very angry. so we entered the side of the building very, very fast. reporter: we just got a report here on this end that the students are in. ( crowd shouting ) reporter: they're trying... they're trying to... take it down that way. you can see from here some of the action occurring down here. ( mob shouting angrily ) the three of us represented the black press-- that was all. and we were on the mall in front of the school. and the word got to the crowd outside that "the niggers are in the school." then they said to us, "did you come out here as a decoy and let other people slipping into the side of this building?" so i said, "hell, no!" like that, you see. narrator: the crowd turned on hicks and on his companions, moses newsom and alex wilson. hicks: somebody had a brick in his hand and instead of throwing the brick-- because he was too close-- he hit alex wilson up the side of his head with this brick. of course, wilson was more than six feet tall, an ex-marine. he went down like a tree. the mob was getting past the wooden sawhorses because the policemen would no longer fight their own in order to keep... to protect us. and so someone made a suggestion that if they allowed the mob to hang one kid, they could then get the rest out. and a gentleman, whom i believe to be the assistant chief of police, said, "how you going to choose? you going to let them draw straws?" he said, "i'll get them out." and we were taken to the basement of this place and we were put into two cars, grayish-blue-color fords. and the man instructed them, he said,
"once you start driving, do not stop." ( people yelling and screaming ) narrator: the rioting was headline news. the nation and the world saw unmistakably the face of resistance. finally, president eisenhower realized he had to act and he did quickly. that night he sent in the paratroopers of the 101st airborne division. eisenhower: an extreme situation has been created in little rock. this challenge must be met and with such measures as will preserve to the people as a whole their lawfully protected rights. if resistance to the federal court order ceases at once, the further presence of federal troops will be unnecessary, and a blot upon the fair name and high honor of our nation in the world will be removed. mob rule cannot be allowed to override the decisions of our courts. faubus: my fellow citizens, we are now an occupied territory. in the name of god, whom we all revere, in the name of liberty we hold so dear, in the name of decency, which we all cherish, what is happening in america? well, we got into the jeep-- into the station wagon, rather-- and the convoy that went from mrs. bates' house to the school had a jeep in front, a jeep behind. they both had machine gun mounts. and then the whole school was ringed with paratroopers and helicopters hovering around, and we marched up the steps with this circle of soldiers with bayonets drawn. i figured that we had really... ( chuckles ) we had really gone into school that day. and walking up the steps that day was probably one of the biggest feelings i've ever had. i figured i had finally cracked it. and there was a feeling of pride and hope; that, yes, this is the united states, yes, there is a reason i salute the flag. and it's going to be okay. you know, if these guys just go with us the first time, it's going to be okay. the troops did not, however, mean the end of harassment. it meant the declaration of war. ray charles: ♪ tell your mama ♪ ♪ tell your pa ♪
♪ i'm gonna send you back to arkansas... ♪ narrator: it was the beginning of a school year like no other at little rock central high. when we got in the school, they then assigned us an individual soldier to walk us from class to class. he waited outside the classroom, and every time the bell rang and classes changed, he would walk us, we'd have our own personal guard walking us to the next class. the troops were wonderful. there was some fear that they were dating the girls i don't care what they were doing; they were wonderful. but they couldn't be with us everywhere. they couldn't be with us, for example, in the ladies' bathroom. they couldn't be with... in gym. you'd be walking out to the volleyball court and someone would break a bottle and trip you on the bottle. i have scars on my right knee from that. of course we couldn't have a normal school. but we had to have as close to normal as possible. and you couldn't follow every student around with a guard, into the... you know, the stories were that the male guards were going to the rest rooms with the female black students. you couldn't do things like that, and you couldn't sit with them at the cafeteria. there wouldn't be any integration if you did that. so i was proud of what we did and what we didn't do. reporter: do you think you could you get used to going to school with colored children? yes, sir, i think so. i mean, if i'm going to have to do it, i might as well get used to it. well, now, what about this? do you think that the trouble is with the students here in the high school and in the schools in little rock or is it with the parents or is it with outsiders or... where is the trouble? i think it's the parents. i mean, i saw all these crowds out here and the man kicking that negro and everything. and you don't sympathize with that sort of action at all? no, sir, i don't. what do you think? i think it was just downright un-american. i think it's the most terrible thing that has ever been seen in america.
i mean, i guess i'm sounding patriotic or something like that, but i always thought that all men were created equal. and i began to change from being somebody who was... considered myself a moderate who, if i had my way, would have said, "let's don't integrate because it's the state's right to decide," to someone who felt a real sense of compassion for these students and felt like they deserved something that i had. and i also developed a real dislike for the people that were out there that were causing the problems. it was very unsettling to me. i never had anything to do with any until they came here. i mean, they'd never lived, what you'd say, close enough to us or we were just never around them really. isn't that part of what makes it difficult when you live 15, 17 years of your life and then start doing something different all of a sudden? well, i think, like if a spanish or chinese person came here, it wouldn't be hard to get along with them. it's just that the negroes are what you might say more different, to us, than a spanish person might be. it's early morning here at 1121 cross street in little rock and a new school day is dawning. melba? yes, mother? you'd better hurry. you're going to be late for school. reporter: as usual, the girl in the family is running a little late. the girl is melba pattillo, 15 years old... pattillo: you know, i worried about silly things like keeping my saddle shoes straight, what am i going to wear today, the things that a 15-year-old girl does worry about, but also which part of the hall to walk in that's the safest. who's going to hit me with what? is it going to be hot soup today? that it ruins the dress my grandmother made for me? i mean, how's this day going to go? and then, you know, you get out and you get to the car. and then we'd joke, we'd kind of play with each other, and your stomach would go back into its seat. to the head of the n.a.a.c.p., daisy bates', house, and we'd have to face a press conference. reporter: mrs. bates, how do you feel that your work both with the school authorities, with the city authorities and with the military authorities, that the situation is developing now? the military authorities have been very nice to the children, as well as the school board and the city police. narrator:
by thanksgiving, the little rock nine had become seasoned veterans, giving sophisticated statements to the press at a dinner held by mr. and mrs. bates. my name is gloria ray. i am thankful for having a chance to fulfill my educational desires and for being a citizen in a country where the federal government respects and protects the rights of all its people. my name is terrence roberts, and i would like to say that i know that communists enjoy taking advantage of situations such as these to twist the minds of peoples of the world. but i'm thankful that in america their actions are being foiled through the efforts of many democratic-minded citizens. i'm minnie jean brown. i'm thankful for the many people who have stood by us and worked diligently in our struggle for a perfect democracy... narrator: at school, the black teenagers were still being harassed by a few determined whites. shortly before christmas, minnie jean brown struck back. for a couple of weeks, there had been a number of white kids following us-- a series of hassles, continuous calling us "niggers"-- "nigger, nigger, nigger," one right after the other. and minnie jean brown was in the lunch line with me. and there was this... i was in front of minnie, minnie was behind me, and there was this white kid, fella, who was much shorter than minnie. minnie was about five foot ten. and this fellow couldn't have been more than five-five, five-four. and he reminded me of a small dog yelping at somebody's leg. and minnie had just picked up her chili. i could just see her little head click. she consciously said to herself, "no, minnie jean, if you do this, you know you won't be here." but then this was a time of the year when we all didn't want to be there. and before i could even say, "minnie, why don't you tell him to shut up," minnie had taken this chili, dumped it on this dude's head. it was just absolute silence in the place. and then the help, all black, broke into applause, and the white kids, the other white kids there, it was the first time that anybody, i'm sure, had seen somebody black retaliate in that sense. rains: when minnie jean was kicked out of school following the chili incident, maybe 15-20 students brought cards and gave them out that said, "one down, eight to go." when school was out in may, they still hadn't given up the fight.
they came out with a two-color card that said, "ike, go home! liberation day, may 29, 1958," which was graduation day. they were still fighting the battle even then. narrator: on may 29, 1958, central high school prepared to graduate 601 white students and ernest green. we still didn't know whether some outsiders might roll in from some other states and fire-bomb the place, so we were a little nervous about it, as was ernest. and he stood around, joked with the students. we were all joking together there waiting to process in. and i do remember that as the students' names were called and they'd get up and go across the platform and receive their diploma, that i really held my breath when ernest's name was called. there were a lot of claps for the students, you know. they talked about who had received scholarships, who was an honor student, and all that, as they called the names off. when they called my name, there was nothing, just the name, and there was this eerie silence-- nobody clapped. but i figured they didn't have to, because after i got that diploma, that was it. i had accomplished what i had come there for. man and woman: ♪ i'm so glad i'm fighting for my rights ♪ ♪ i'm so glad i'm fighting for my rights ♪ ♪ i'm so glad i'm fighting for my rights ♪ ♪ singin' glory, hallelujah, i'm so glad. ♪ ernest, what's it been like this year? has it been what you expected or...? well, from the beginning, it wasn't quite what we expected, but adding all things together and putting all sides together, i think it's turned out to be, uh, well, i would say an interesting year. i guess that would be an understatement, but when you put all the sides together, we've had some nice times as well as some rough times, and i think all in all, it's worked out rather nicely. by the time school had ended, i had sort of settled into myself and i could've gone on for the next five years-- it didn't matter anymore, i was past feeling. i was into just that kind of numb pain where you say, "hey, i can make it. do whatever you'd like and it just doesn't matter anymore." but i came home and, and... by myself. i walked to the backyard and i burned my books.
i burned everything that i could burn, and i just stood there crying, looking into the fire and wondering whether i would go back, but, uh... not wanting to go back. narrator: melba pattillo didn't have to face that decision. the next year, governor faubus closed down all little rock's high schools to halt integration. faubus was so popular that year, he easily won his third term as governor. ( chanting ): two, four, six, eight, we don't want to integrate! two, four, six, eight, we don't want to integrate! two, four, six, eight, we don't want to integrate! ( cheering ) narrator: faubus's tactic was also used in virginia, where the governor closed down school after school. there will be no enforced integration in virginia. i have the highest respect for the president of the united states. if troops are sent into virginia, they will patrol empty schoolhouses. narrator: governor almond closed schools in charlottesville and norfolk and other towns, and he called for unyielding rejection of integration. the federal courts were also unyielding, ruling again and again that this resistance was unconstitutional. but while the court cases were fought, the schools stayed closed, and the children, especially the black children, paid the price. so the crisis in school desegregation continued. in the fall of 1960 in new orleans, four little black girls were sent to first grade in white schools. it caused a citywide riot. this was six years after the supreme court's ruling, and segregation was still a fact of life across the south. but in those six years, desegregation had become a fact of political life. schools were an issue that touched all americans-- black and white-- and national leaders were beginning to recognize that. ( sustained applause ) can we honestly say that it doesn't affect our security and the fight for peace when negroes and others are denied their full constitutional rights? when we who... when we in this country... narrator: this kind of rhetoric raised black hopes that the new president would lead the nation in a new commitment to civil rights. in 1961, a black man named james meredith would test that commitment when he filed suit for admission to the university of mississippi.
his lawyers were jack greenberg and constance baker motley of the n.a.a.c.p. when the meredith case was filed, it coincided with the freedom riders' arrival in mississippi, which of course was not a good context in which to bring that suit, but those were historical developments which we could not control, because it was a genuine revolution on the part of black people. ♪ ...set on freedom ♪ ♪ well, i'm walking and talking with... ♪ narrator: james meredith called it a new spirit among blacks as sit-ins and freedom rides spread from other southern states into mississippi. that spirit was part of meredith's own readiness to face the struggles he knew were ahead. ♪ hallelu, hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah. ♪ what made you decide on ole miss? well, i thought that i should get an education in my own state. and of course ole miss, to my knowledge, is the best university in the state. and also it's the only school that offers the courses that i'm particularly interested in. you say you were interested in going to the university of mississippi even as a boy. were you aware at that time that negroes did not go to the university of mississippi? well, i've been aware for a long time of the so-called place for the negro. yes, i've been aware. therefore you've wanted to overcome this barrier since you were a boy? uh, that's right. i think that the facade that he would present to the public was one that was somewhat cold, somewhat cocky, but it was necessary to do that in order to protect himself, because after all, he was a human being with feelings, with fear. friends, i'm a mississippi segregationist and i am proud of it. ( applause ) narrator: mississippi, from its governor on down, was the most militant of the segregationist states. it was the home of the citizens' council, a group formed specifically to defeat integration. in 1955, the citizens' council had helped crush the first attempts at desegregation in the state by using economic threats and violence. we must eliminate the cowards from our front lines. you did not elect me governor of mississippi to bargain your heritage away in a smoke-filled hotel room. the governor took a very active role in talking about the threats that the state would make on its blacks who would try to enter the school. it was an effort to instill fear in the hearts of blacks and it was also an effort, and a very successful one, to arouse fear and a kind of frenzy in the white community to fight back. narrator: myrlie evers' husband, medgar evers, was head of the state naacp.
evers himself had once tried to integrate ole miss and now he counseled james meredith. it was a long, hard legal battle. finally, after nine months, the district court ruled there was no policy of segregation at ole miss. it was so unreal for the... mississippi to argue and for the judge to hold that there was no policy of segregation at the university of mississippi. everyone in the state of mississippi, and, i am sure, almost everyone in the entire country, knew that there was segregation in the state of mississippi. and for the university to assert that there was no segregation and for the court to find that there was no segregation was just like a land of fantasia. narrator: the court of appeals reversed the decision, ruling ole miss must accept james meredith. the question then, as in little rock, was, who would enforce the order? a question the court asked directly to the president's representative. it was always clear as crystal and i personally made a commitment, knowing the president would back it up, to the fifth circuit, sitting en banc-- all nine of them-- that whatever force was necessary to make their order effective would be applied. i have made my position in this matter crystal clear. i have said in every county in mississippi that no school in our state will be integrated while i am your governor. i now call on every public official and every private citizen of our great state to join with me in refusing in every legal and every constitutional way, and every way, every manner available, my friends, to submit to illegal usurpation of power by the kennedy administration. narrator: the conflict was crystal clear, but the politics were not. the president and his advisers were determined meredith would go to ole miss. but kennedy was also determined to avoid direct involvement, which could cost him key southern democratic support. the president wanted a political solution. and caught in the politics was ole miss. the board of trustees supported barnett. most of them did not want to integrate, but they didn't want to see the university shut down because of james meredith. well, none of the students-- i think i speak for all of them-- want the school closed. and i think if it is closed, it'd be too much pressure on mr. barnett and he will have to open it within a day or two anyway. do you think if the school had to be closed it would affect the rebels, the football team? yes-- that's one bad thing about it. now, all the students are really looking forward to all the football games, and if the school is closed, we want the ball games played anyway. narrator:
on september 20, the conflict came to a head when governor ross barnett flew up to the oxford campus of ole miss. there, in defiance of the federal court order, he personally turned james meredith away. his actions were legal, he said, based on the pre-civil war doctrine of interposition. the doctrine is that a state may interpose itself between the national government and some action that is thought to be imposed upon the state or some of its subdivisions by the federal government. the supremacy clause, which provides that in case of a conflict between the nation and the states, the nation-- the law of the nation-- prevails makes hash of the doctrine of interposition, and any lawyer worth his salt knows that. and barnett was a lawyer who made a good living, still making a good living out of the law, and he knew better than that. ( crowd cheering ) narrator: five days later, on september 25, armed with more court orders on his behalf, james meredith tried again to register at the university of mississippi-- this time at its jackson office and this time accompanied by john doar of the justice department and u.s. marshal james mcshane. reporter: this is hagan thompson at the state office building in jackson. james meredith has just arrived in the custody of federal officials and apparently making his way up to the tenth floor to register. and in they go, and we'll switch now in just a moment. the crowd is booing lustily. inside the woolfolk building, they have a crowd of several thousand inside and out. narrator: again, governor barnett was waiting. barnett: i took an oath when i was inaugurated governor of this state to uphold and to try to maintain and perpetuate the laws of mississippi. gentlemen, my conscience is clear. i'm abiding by the constitution of the united states and the constitution of mississippi and the laws of the state of mississippi. i got to admit i was surprised when i got to the door of the regent's office and when the door opened, there was, on the threshold, was the governor of the state of mississippi there, blocking the door. i got to say to you that i didn't anticipate that. and he had a proclamation and he read it, in which the end line was, "i refuse to register you under the authority of the laws of the state of mississippi." so we left. narrator: once again, a governor's action had created a constitutional test.
now the question was, would president kennedy use the u.s. army, as president eisenhower had? kennedy was still reluctant. instead, he tried secret telephone negotiations with governor barnett. barnett: you don't understand the situation down here. kennedy: well, the only thing is, i got my responsibility. this is not my order, i just have to carry it out. so i want to get together and try to do it with you in a way which is the most satisfactory and causes the least chance of damage to people in mississippi. that's my interest. barnett: would you be willing to wait a while and let the people cool off on the whole thing? barnett: couldn't you make a statement to the effect, mr. president, that under the circumstances existing in mississippi-- that there'll be bloodshed-- you want to protect the life of james meredith and all other people and under the circumstances at this time, it just wouldn't be fair to him or others to try to register him? kennedy: well, then what time would it be fair? barnett: well, we could wait... i don't know. it might be in two or three weeks, it might cool off. kennedy: would you undertake to register him in two weeks? barnett: well, you know i can't undertake to register him myself, but you all might make some progress that way. kennedy: well, we'd be faced, unless we had your support and assurance... barnett: i'm going to cooperate. if the federal government had told governor barnett, "we're coming in and we're going to maintain order and we're going to register meredith," they would have had my complete respect and cooperation.
they didn't do that. and by the same token, the governor was so obsessed with the idea of maintaining our way of life that... that was the ultimate objective. and with those two points of view and with the two political leaders trying to make each other look as good as they could, the situation just got out of hand. narrator: the situation in oxford was becoming very tense as hundreds of people streamed into the area to defend ole miss and the southern way of life. ( siren wailing ) katzenbach: we had had reports throughout, not merely the students but of all kinds of people pouring in in cars in order to prevent meredith from being admitted to ole miss. one has to remember also that that was the squirrel hunting season in mississippi so there were literally hundreds, thousands of guns. every pickup truck had a couple of guns in it, and... so that the situation was really very dangerous. narrator: saturday, september 29-- the ole miss campus was deserted as the students flocked to jackson for the football game against kentucky. the half-time speaker was governor ross barnett. i love mississippi. ( crowd cheering wildly ) i love her people. ( crowd cheers ) our customs. i love and i respect our heritage. ( crowd cheering ) narrator: the next day, sunday, september 30. finally, president kennedy decided the time had come to enroll james meredith at ole miss. he sent several hundred u.s. marshals to the campus to prepare. and he announced he'd make a special speech to the state that night. sunday evening, when i flew down in a government plane to the airstrip at the university of mississippi and we had marshals already down there-- we had about four or five hundred marshals sworn in, from the prison guards, from the border patrol, from the u.s. marshal service, from any other place we could find reasonably trained law enforcement officers. and they were themselves an irritant to the students, who were returning from a football weekend. and we had no place to sort of hide the marshals. we were around the lyceum building, which was the center of the campus and, unbeknownst to us, a sort of a tradition and a place of great honor. students came and, of course, they saw the marshals. i know i got angry when i saw the marshals. it just... it seemed a betrayal;
it made me mad. you know, "why are these people here? "we haven't done anything, and people have behaved themselves." and, you know, "what is going on?" and i caught myself, really, with some of these feelings. narrator: after the marshals had secured their positions, james meredith was flown into oxford airport and driven to a secret location at ole miss. the crowds didn't know where he was, but they knew he was on campus. and at 8:00, just as the president went on the air, ole miss turned into a battlefield. ( shouting, gunshots ) very few people heard the president's words. ( gunshots and sirens ) ( glass breaking ) kennedy: americans are free, in short, to disagree with the law, but not to disobey it. for any government of laws and not of men, no man, however prominent or powerful, and no mob, however unruly or boisterous, is entitled to defy a court of law. the eyes of the nation and all the world are upon you and upon all of us. narrator: the marshals were ordered not to use guns against the rioters, who were shooting and throwing molotov cocktails. and the rioters were targeting the media, smashing cameras and attacking reporters. ( siren wailing, gunshots continue ) there was one freshman girl that had been this little flower of southern gentility when i had met her. and she came up to me and her face was absolutely contorted. and i almost didn't recognize her. and she was absolutely furious because she had picked up a brick and thrown it at a marshal and it had only hit him in the head and scratched him and she had not put his eye out. kennedy( on phone ): well, you see, we got to get order up there, and that's what we thought we could have. barnett: mr. president, please, why don't you give an order to remove meredith? kennedy: how can i remove him, governor, when there's a riot in the street and he may step out of that building and something happen to him? i can't remove him under those conditions. barnett:
people are wiring me and calling me, saying, "well, you've given up." i had to say, "no, i'm not giving up-- not giving up any fight." kennedy: yeah, but we don't want... barnett: "i never give up. i have courage and faith, and we'll win this fight." you understand. that's just the mississippi people. kennedy: yeah, i understand, but i don't think anybody in mississippi or anyplace else wants a lot of people killed. barnett: oh, no, no. kennedy: governor, that's the most important thing. barnett: i'll issue any statement, any time, about peace and violence. narrator: while the president and the governor argued, the riot worsened. finally, katzenbach asked the white house for troops. it took hours for them to arrive, and during the night, 35 marshals were shot and two people-- a french journalist and an oxford worker-- were killed. but by dawn, the army had restored order. of course the president's going to win in the end. he's got the whole armed forces of the united states. he can call in the air force. he can bring navy ships up the mississippi river. he can call out the army, as he did. he can drop parachuters in. i suppose he could shoot missiles at oxford, mississippi. so he's going to win at the end. ellis:
i recall driving to the campus, and i guess when i got to the circle was when i really saw the impact of the riot the previous evening. i reported to my office. as i recall it, there weren't very many of the staff there. many of them were too afraid to come to the campus on monday. and later, james meredith came to my private office and i accommodated the registration there. it wasn't a cause for laughter and champagne, but it was a cause for some relief. and it was the fact that that was over with. i mean, in a way, oxford had become the symbol of massive resistance in the final gasp of the civil war, if you want to look at it that way. and it was over, it had ended. reporter: sir, there's been a great deal of turmoil and conflict. two people have been killed. do you have any feelings of guilt? have you given it any second thoughts? i'm very sorry that anyone had to get hurt or killed. but of course, i think that's an unfair question of me. i don't believe any of you believe that i had anything to do with that. how are you getting along in school, sir? just fine, just fine. how are the students? any reactions? no, just acting like students, i suppose. is this a kind of a lonely life for you despite all these people around you? meredith: i've been living a lonely life a long time. narrator: it was a lonely victory for james meredith, but it was a victory for him and the country. the constitution had held and been reaffirmed in a major crisis. thousands of black people felt the victory and saw james meredith as an example to follow-- a symbol, like the little rock nine, of their own power to move the nation. captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org

Uncle Scrooge! I'm having a few close toys over for a tea party. Wanna come? Sorry, darlin'. I'm up to my beak in money-making schemes. It's a free tea party, Uncle Scrooge. I'll take an I.O.U. Right now I've got to open me first shipment of Irish linen from the Emerald Isle. I can't wait to see the happy faces of my customers when they see it and the happy face on me when they pay for it. - Quackaroonie! - Is it a ghost? No, it must be some kind o' animal. An animal, am I? Why, I'll caramelize every one of ya! Ohh! It's a cute little leprechaun! Come one step closer, and my fist will do an Irish jig on your face. Oops! Oof! Don't let him slip into me vault! Sweet Mother McCree! Why, sure and this must be the pot of gold at the end of a giant rainbow! Keep your hands off my cash. He didn't say a thing about hats. - Why, you pint-sized little... - Don't hurt him, Uncle Scrooge! He's just a little thing, like me! We got him, Uncle Scrooge! No, you didn't. 'Cause I did! Just like I wanted you to, charming princess.
'Tis that huge Irish monster King O' Kong! Why, there's nobody... there! Something scared him away. Curse me kilts! - What's he doing? - Counting his money. He can tell in five seconds if even one penny is missing. I've been robbed of my favorite $200.26! Whoo-hoo hoo-hoo hoo! Ha-ha-ha-ha. Bleah! Oof! Whoa! Sufferin' shamrocks! Giant metal monsters! We've gotta save him, Uncle Scrooge! Aye. So we can have him hauled off to jail. 'Tis the end of the world! I'll never steal from that rowdy bunch again. Gotcha! Ha! There's something about catching a thief that's very uplifting. Whoa! Whoa! Ooh! Aah! Whoo-hee-hee! Whoo! There, there.
You're safe now. Oh, thank goodness. I was running because I was so scared. You see, I've never been away from home before. I'm Fadoragh, and you're beautiful. I'm Scrooge McDuck, and you're under arrest. Oh, please have mercy. I only have a few more hours to live. He's sick, Uncle Scrooge. I'm sure they'll take good care of him in the county jail, the little thief. Thief? Thief? ! I'll have you know I swiped that wee bit o' cash out of the kindness of my heart. I just wanted to buy a new doll for this darling little angel here. - You like dolls, too? - Why, yes, my darling, ever so much. By any chance would you like to come to a tea party at our mansion? Why, darling, I'd love to! Tea parties at mansions are my favorite things! Quackaroonie! You sure have a big appetite. Aye. And your pockets have big appetites, too. Sure and I wanted to bring some crumbs home to me 25 brothers and sisters. We all live in one room, you know. With only one potato a day to split between 25 of us. We're so sick of French fries. - Aw. - Ohh.
- He's a riot! - He's a scoundrel. He's a poor little pixie who needs our help. You should visit the Emerald Isle, Princess Webby. It's got castles on every corner. And a secret cavern known only to us leprechauns, filled with jewels and gold beyond your wildest dreams. Hmm... Maybe two can play at this game of trickery. Ahem. Bah! You leprechauns are all liars. Why, legend has it you can grant wishes, too. - But that's all a bunch of ba-larney. - 'Tis true. If you save a leprechaun's life, he'll grant you any fairy wish you please. Then I demand a fairy wish, 'cause I saved you fair-y and square-y. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! What might your teensy, weensy, insignificant little wish be? I'll tell you just as soon as we get to the Emerald Isle. If you're goin' to a green land, you might as well turn green yourself. You think I'll fit in with those little green men? Of course. I've always thought you should be sent to the moon. Thanks. Oh, there is is - my home, sweet home. Aah. There's the home of King Brian, richest monarch in all the world. And my best friend. Uh, uh... Bah!
You're lying. No king could be worth more than a few shamrocks in this one-mule town. Why, you've only dreamt of such riches, McDuck. I'll believe it when I see it... and swim in it. Aah. I've never swam in someone else's money before. It's fun. Ha-ha-ha-ha! Crasharoonie! How'd you like an easy chair like this in front of your TV? Ah, it certainly would be cozy. All I need is a channel-changer. Ha-ha-ha-ha! Hey, a golden retriever. Ha-ha-ha-ha. - Too bad your best friend isn't home. - Uh, yes. But if he were here, I'm sure he'd say... Charge! Oh, it's your best friend. Get the rotten, stinking thieves. Come on, let's get 'em! Throw them in the snake pit for a thousand years... and a day! He's bluffing', Mr. McD. Everyone knows there aren't any snakes on the Emerald Isle. On the isle, no. In the isle - oh, but definitely. Th-Th-This is a mistake. Being thrown in a snake pit is always a mistake, especially if the snake pit has a bunch of snakes in it! Wait, wait!
Your best friend Fardoragh invited us here. Fardoragh? - That conniving con artist? - That sneaky sticky fingers? - That rat? - That thief? - That bum? - I think we're in trouble. Did you bring them in? Tell me the truth, you infamous liar! Sure and I had to, Your Kingyship. They were gonna tar and feather me - with their own feathers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Huh. Then I guess we can't feed them to the snakes. We never have any fun. But we'll have a great big party to welcome them here. - Yeah! - Let's have a party! Hey, bravo! Whoa! Yay! Thank you, thank you. What a ridiculous outfit. Yeah! I bet you've never seen anything like this before. Are you kidding? I have one just like it, only bigger. Isn't it nice how well they're getting along? Oh, yeah?
Well, I'm the richest little person in the Emerald Isle. I'm the richest duck in the world, and I could put this whole castle in one wee corner of my money bin. Well, I could put your whole money bin in one wee corner of my golden caverns. Correction: My golden caverns. I have a fairy promise from him for any wish my heart desires. And I want the golden caverns! Have you lost your tiny mind? The golden caverns have been ours since time began. He-He tricked me, he did. By law, we have to give him his wish. Unless, of course, he were to change his mind. Just leave it to me, Your Moneybags. 'Tis the grandest room in the castle. Why, I had to sell all me worldly goods, performed death-defying feats and say "please, please, please" to get it for ya. And this is the thanks I get? It's just a wee bit o' leprechaun insurance, so you don't accidentally flee the country without granting my wish. Why are always so mean to Fardoragh, Uncle Scrooge? He's my friend. Webby, Webby, my darling. You're wasting your kindness on this rogue. He's a thief and a liar. And he doesn't tell the truth very often, either. - Crash on the couch, Launchpad. - All right, all right. I know I won't get any sleep. Woodchucks plan 999. We've camped overnight with Launchpad before. - Quack. - Quack.
Here. This'll keep you warm. Why, thank ya, Princess Webby. - Good night. - Good night... Princess. Leave the Emerald Isle, or you may lose your head! Heh-heh-heh-ha-hah! Mr. McD... Yeow! Ooh-hoo-hoo-ee! Hold your horses, lads. Easy. A-A-And then it crashed right through the wall! You were just dreaming about your life, Launchpad. It wasn't a dream, McDuck. You'd better leave the country before it comes back. - I'll start packing. - No need for that. The boys will be on guard duty the rest of the night. - Go back to sleep. - I am asleep. - Wh-What is that? - It's flying, so it's either Launchpad or a witch! And Launchpad's much better-looking! Who is it? Why, that's the banshee of Loch Lomond. She wails like that when something terrible is about to happen. Woodchucks plan number 5,079: Block the witch in the window with a big piece of furniture.
How'd it go? - They scared me. - Same here. Sure and Fardoragh is not payin' us enough to haunt this house. Ah, let's go home. I have a headache. You failed me, you failure! But-But, Your Kinginess, they tied me up and they used... Woodchuck plan 5,079. Oh, spare me your outrageous lies! Take him to the golden caverns if you must, but just make sure he never comes out. Or you'll never come out, if you know what I mean. Mr. McD, I don't look stupid in this horsy riding outfit, do I? - No more than usual, Launchpad. - Whew. Uncle Scrooge, I still don't know why you're making them give you those golden caverns if they don't want to. Uh, uh... Webby, you'll understand someday when you're older, wiser and, uh... - Greedier. - Thank you, Launchpad. You ready, lads? And away we go! Not so fast, 'doragh! After him. Wait for me! Oh, no! You won't get away from me, you slippery little sneak! Here! Let me get you off the hook! Ouch!
No more of your tricks, Fardoragh. Take me to the golden caverns and take me now. Oh, if you insist. Gold! I can smell it a mile away! C-c-careful! - Now we're trapped! - Don't try to fool me. You wouldn't stop yourselves from getting at your own treasure. Oh, yes, we would. Run for your life! - Yow! - Hoo... Ooh hoo-hoo hoo ohh! - Jump! - But-But-But we might be killed! If we don't, we'll be mashed by that potato! Sweet Mother McRee! - Ohh... hoo-hoo hoo-hoo... - Whoa! Oof! Now, that's what I call a happy landing. Ha-ha-ha-ha! This place makes my money bin look like piggy bank. No, make that a piglet bank. The treasure of the little people - our heritage, our pride and joy. And it's mine, all mine. Ha-ha-ha-ha! Ha! I'm a multi-zulti-zillionaire!
Wa-ha wa-ha-ha-ha! I'm not as strong as I was before I became a multi-zulti-zillionaire. Ah. That's better. Och, I hate doing this. But I'll be back with reinforcements. Oh, no. Aah! Phew. Well, you won't be needing me anymore, so I'm... Not until you grant me another fairy wish for saving your life again. Oh, not again. I want your oath that you won't touch this handkerchief that marks the secret spot. - Sure and I'd be doing you a favor if I... - Do you promise? Aye, I promise. Launchpad, boys! Make sure he never comes out. Make sure he never comes out. Why, he's just as greedy a trickster as me. There's not one wee reason I shouldn't have done what I did. Fardoragh, guess what. How should I know? I had nothing to do with it, I swear. I... I found a four-leaf clover. Ohh! And I want you to have it, 'cause you're such a loyal, thoughtful, wonderful friend. I can't stand it no more. Oh, Princess Webby, sure and I'm not the good friend you think I am.
Because of me, your uncle is going to... he's going to have a terrible day! Sorry about the delay, Mr. McD. You see, I... You can perform an instant replay of your crash later, Launchpad. Oh, I can't wait to dive in again into millions and billions and billions of... handkerchiefs? Handkerchiefs? Oh, hi, Uncle Scrooge. Webbigail, what are you doing? Fardoragh asked me to help him decorate the forest. Fardoragh? ! But, Uncle Scrooge, he told me if I didn't do this, you'd have a terrible day. What kind o' day does it look like I'm having now? He tricked you, Webbigail. Ooh, I told you, you were a fool being nice to that slippery little shyster. If it weren't for her kindness to me, this is just how terrible your day would have been. Webbigail, I-I-I don't know what to say. I know what you want to say, Mr. McD. She was right, you were wrong. She was wise. You were a fool. You were greedy, selfish, rude, a great, big meany... We get the idea, Launchpad! Hey, since Webby saved your life, you oughta grant her a wish, Uncle Scrooge. - That's a good idea. I think so, too. - All right, my darlin'. What'll it be? - Um, uh...
I'd like to invite a friend to stay at our house for the whole summer! All right. Who is this lucky tyke? No! Oh, no! Anyone but him! Anything but that! You made a promise, Uncle Scrooge. Oh! Can't I get ya to change your wish? They never do, McDuck. They never do.

Ooh-ooh Tales of derring-do, bad and good-luck tales Ooh-ooh Not ponytails or cottontails, no, DuckTales Ooh-ooh Keep moving! We must be out of Shadow Pass by nightfall. (neighing) The Snow Beast! (yelling) (deep-voiced chuckling) (man) That was eight centuries ago. And that was the last anyone ever saw of the crown of Genghis Kahn. Until last month, that is, when a friend of mine, a Sherpa I often use as a guide, wandered into Shadow Pass and took shelter in a mysterious ice cave. It was in this cave that he saw the lost crown! So, Lord Battmountan, is this to be the quest to determine our Explorer of the Year? The first to retrieve the crown, wins. - Oh! Jolly good show! Jolly good! - l'd say! Why didn't your friend bring out the crown? Ahem, well, he was chased off by an Abominable Snowman! A descendant of the very same beast that caused the crown to be lost. Oh! That'll add a bit of spice to our quest, ay, what? I'd say! Here are your copies of the map. I will return to Duckburg and await the arrival of the winner. You begin at noon, which is., right now!
There you are! I'm already behind schedule. Where's Launchpad? La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la, hey! La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la, hey! La-la-la, la-la. (Scrooge) They can't come with us, Launchpad, and that's final! Sorry, girls. I'm the dashing hero, but he's the boss! Hurry back, tall one, and be careful! Careful? I don't know the meaning of the word! Oof! What better way to reach a snow-covered mountain pass than by dogsled? (snickering) Yeow! One down and two to go! I have far more mountain-climbing experience than the others. Why? I climb mountains simply because. .l'm there! Yeow! Two down and one to go! (giggles) (plane engine) I'll get the jump on the others by parachuting into Shadow Pass! You're so smart, Uncle Scrooge! Thanks, darling. And wasn't it smart of you to notice? Why can't we come with you, Uncle Scrooge? Shadow Pass is no place for kids.
Now, you look after them till I get back to the village, Launchpad! Sure will, Mr. McDee! You don't have a thing to worry about. (engine sputters) What's going on with this bucket of bolts? We're out of gas! But the tanks were full, and we just took off! Boy, what terrible gas mileage! Launchpad, where are the extra parachutes? Safely locked up in the shed. .behind the hangar. .back at the airport! (all gasp) Three down and now I'll go! Why, Percival, old chap. You had a little accident, too, eh? This? Oh, it's nothing, really. But it does put me out of the running again this year, old bean. Bad show, old shoe. - l guess it's McDuck again. - For the 33rd year in a row. Phew! That was rough! Aye, but we managed to come down in Shadow Pass. Why do they call it Shadow Pass, Uncle Scrooge? Why, I've no idea, Louie. My kind of landing, Mr. McDee. Ugh! I should be able to reach the cave and be back in a few hours.
