1
00:00:10,177 --> 00:00:17,184
Good morning, Mrs. Davis.

2
00:00:21,438 --> 00:00:23,190
Oh, good morning, Connie.

3
00:00:23,315 --> 00:00:26,318
I hope you don't mind
having breakfast in here today.

4
00:00:26,443 --> 00:00:31,323
I just finished waxing the
dinette and living room floors.

5
00:00:31,448 --> 00:00:34,243
No wonder I had such a
fast trip across the dinette.

6
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:37,120
What time is it?

7
00:00:37,246 --> 00:00:38,538
Oh, let's see.

8
00:00:38,664 --> 00:00:42,960
Oh dear, I think
it stopped again.

9
00:00:43,085 --> 00:00:44,962
But you don't need
to worry, Connie.

10
00:00:45,087 --> 00:00:46,505
It feels quite early to me.

11
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:49,341
Oh, it feels early to me too.

12
00:00:49,466 --> 00:00:50,509
What's for breakfast?

13
00:00:50,634 --> 00:00:52,886
Not very much, I'm afraid.

14
00:00:53,011 --> 00:00:54,721
How about some of
those eggs your brother

15
00:00:54,846 --> 00:00:56,848
Victor sent over from
his place in the country?

16
00:00:56,974 --> 00:00:59,518
We only have one
of those left, Connie.

17
00:00:59,643 --> 00:01:04,022
Well, could I have that one, or
have you made other plans for it?

18
00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:07,234
I don't think you'd
want this one, Connie.

19
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:11,154
I got the strangest feeling
when I picked it up before.

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,240
What sort of a feeling?

21
00:01:13,365 --> 00:01:17,828
I think there's
something living in it.

22
00:01:18,954 --> 00:01:22,958
Well, I know there's a housing shortage,
but... No, now listen to it, Connie.

23
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:25,377
Hold it up to your
ear and shake it.

24
00:01:25,502 --> 00:01:26,378
Easy now.

25
00:01:26,503 --> 00:01:28,463
There might be a
little chicken in it.

26
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:31,008
Well, it does feel
different from other eggs.

27
00:01:31,133 --> 00:01:33,677
But your brother Victor
is an expert on chickens.

28
00:01:33,802 --> 00:01:36,305
He wouldn't send over an
egg that was ready to hatch.

29
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:39,099
Well, it might be a mistake,
but I'm going to keep

30
00:01:39,224 --> 00:01:41,935
it nice and warm until
Victor comes to town again.

31
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:45,439
Well, I can get you a
faster diagnosis than that.

32
00:01:45,564 --> 00:01:46,148
Where?

33
00:01:46,273 --> 00:01:47,357
From Mr. Boynton.

34
00:01:47,482 --> 00:01:50,694
I'll take it to his biology lab
this morning and have him test it.

35
00:01:50,819 --> 00:01:52,237
Oh, fine.

36
00:01:52,362 --> 00:01:57,326
Meanwhile, I'll just put it in a
dish and set it here on the toaster.

37
00:01:57,451 --> 00:01:59,828
That's nice and warm.

38
00:02:01,997 --> 00:02:04,166
How about some
cereal, Mrs. Davis?

39
00:02:04,291 --> 00:02:08,962
I've already had some, thanks.

40
00:02:09,087 --> 00:02:10,422
No, I mean for me.

41
00:02:10,547 --> 00:02:11,381
Oh.

42
00:02:11,506 --> 00:02:12,758
Oh yes, of course.

43
00:02:12,883 --> 00:02:14,968
I have lots of cold cereal.

44
00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:17,471
But the question
is, where did I put it?

45
00:02:17,596 --> 00:02:19,181
Now let me see.

46
00:02:19,306 --> 00:02:26,271
Where is the logical place
for me to have put cold cereal?

47
00:02:27,939 --> 00:02:34,404
I'm almost positive.

48
00:02:34,529 --> 00:02:37,866
I bought some more
eggs at the store yesterday,

49
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:41,745
but if I did, I can't
remember where I put them.

50
00:02:41,870 --> 00:02:44,081
Well, that'll hold you
till lunchtime anyway.

51
00:02:44,206 --> 00:02:45,749
Oh, I'm sure it will.

52
00:02:45,874 --> 00:02:49,878
And now, if you'll excuse me, dear, I want
to go over that floor in the dinette again.

53
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:55,050
Happy landing.

54
00:02:55,175 --> 00:02:56,176
Hiya, Miss Brooks.

55
00:02:56,301 --> 00:02:57,135
Oh, hello, Walter.

56
00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:58,804
I parked my car out in back.

57
00:02:58,929 --> 00:03:02,015
Thought I'd add a little
class to your driveway.

58
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:03,266
Well, I won't be a minute.

59
00:03:03,392 --> 00:03:04,017
Sit down.

60
00:03:04,142 --> 00:03:06,311
Oh, do you mind if I
help myself to a snack?

61
00:03:06,436 --> 00:03:08,855
Why attempt to
resist the inevitable?

62
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:12,734
That's a very
wholesome attitude.

63
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:19,282
Yeah, I think I'll
have a sandwich first.

64
00:03:19,408 --> 00:03:20,826
What kind of a sandwich?

65
00:03:20,951 --> 00:03:22,452
Scrambled egg sandwich.

66
00:03:22,577 --> 00:03:29,292
Walter, was that an
egg you just broke?

67
00:03:29,418 --> 00:03:29,793
Well, sure.

68
00:03:29,918 --> 00:03:31,753
How else can you make a
scrambled egg sandwich?

69
00:03:31,878 --> 00:03:34,548
Stop beating that.

70
00:03:37,008 --> 00:03:40,011
Have you examined
the contents of that bowl?

71
00:03:40,137 --> 00:03:41,304
Yes, ma'am.

72
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:43,765
Is it just a normal egg?

73
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:45,684
Smells normal.

74
00:03:46,935 --> 00:03:48,562
Well, that's a relief.

75
00:03:48,687 --> 00:03:49,646
What's a relief?

76
00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:52,983
Well, I thought for a moment there
you'd committed chick slaughter.

77
00:03:53,108 --> 00:03:58,947
And Mrs. Davis thought she
detected signs of life in that one.

78
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:00,407
She certainly is a character.

79
00:04:00,532 --> 00:04:02,075
Here, I'll do that for you.

80
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,410
Oh, thanks.

81
00:04:03,535 --> 00:04:07,330
I'll rustle up a
few incidentals.

82
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,074



83
00:04:19,384 --> 00:04:21,470
Why don't you have an egg
sandwich too, Miss Brooks?

84
00:04:21,595 --> 00:04:24,347
Because the last egg
has been spoken for.

85
00:04:24,473 --> 00:04:25,223
What do you mean?

86
00:04:25,348 --> 00:04:26,975
There's a lot of
them in this box.

87
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,311
In what box?

88
00:04:29,436 --> 00:04:31,938
Oh, for heaven's sake.

89
00:04:32,063 --> 00:04:34,983
Mrs. Davis did get
some more after all.

90
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:39,446
Well, then that one
still might be... Oh!

91
00:04:39,571 --> 00:04:42,866
You see, Walter, Mrs. Davis's brother
Victor sent some eggs over from his

92
00:04:42,991 --> 00:04:47,037
place in the country, and it was one
of those we thought might be inhabited.

93
00:04:47,162 --> 00:04:49,539
Oh, is that why you put it back
on the toaster to keep it warm?

94
00:04:49,664 --> 00:04:50,457
Yes.

95
00:04:50,582 --> 00:04:52,167
Yeah, but I just put two
pieces of bread in there.

96
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:59,007
It'll be popping any minute now.

97
00:04:59,132 --> 00:04:59,174
What?

98
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:05,805
If you are ever born, every
minute you're alive is gravy.

99
00:05:09,476 --> 00:05:10,769
Good morning, Mr. Boyden.

100
00:05:10,894 --> 00:05:12,354
Oh, hello, Miss Brooke.

101
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:14,314
Don't you have a
class in a few minutes?

102
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:17,651
In a few minutes, but I want to
ask your opinion on something first.

103
00:05:17,776 --> 00:05:18,109
Certainly.

104
00:05:18,235 --> 00:05:19,611
Here.

105
00:05:19,736 --> 00:05:20,403
Sit down.

106
00:05:20,529 --> 00:05:23,073
Oh, thanks.

107
00:05:23,198 --> 00:05:26,201
On, uh... What would
you like my opinion?

108
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:27,327
This.

109
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:38,505
Is it or is it not possible for a
chicken to hatch out of this?

110
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:41,258
To the best of my
knowledge, it's customary.

111
00:05:41,383 --> 00:05:43,134
You're generalizing.

112
00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:45,303
I mean this specific egg.

113
00:05:45,428 --> 00:05:48,640
You see, Mrs. Davis's brother
Victor sent it over with some

114
00:05:48,765 --> 00:05:51,851
others, and she thought
she detected signs of life in it.

115
00:05:51,977 --> 00:05:53,979
Oh, it's highly
doubtful, Miss Brooks.

116
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:55,605
When did Mrs.
Davis get that notion?

117
00:05:55,730 --> 00:05:57,148
This morning at breakfast.

118
00:05:57,274 --> 00:06:00,068
You mean after the egg had
been removed from the nest?

119
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:03,488
Well, Mrs. Davis has come
up with some very strange

120
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:07,200
recipes, but she has yet to
serve me an egg under hen.

121
00:06:08,326 --> 00:06:12,539
Now, she simply thought that it might have
been removed from the incubator by mistake.

122
00:06:12,664 --> 00:06:15,875
It would be something of a
miracle if any life still existed in here.

123
00:06:16,001 --> 00:06:16,001
Oh?

124
00:06:16,126 --> 00:06:18,878
Well, stranger things
have happened in nature.

125
00:06:19,004 --> 00:06:20,505
What do you think?

126
00:06:20,630 --> 00:06:22,549
It's hard to say.

127
00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:31,975
Going to have
breakfast, Mr. Boyden?

128
00:06:34,352 --> 00:06:34,561
Conklin?

129
00:06:34,686 --> 00:06:35,770
Good morning, sir.

130
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:36,855
Good morning, Miss Brooks.

131
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:39,399
This isn't just an
ordinary egg, sir.

132
00:06:39,524 --> 00:06:41,359
No, indeed, it's very special.

133
00:06:41,484 --> 00:06:41,776
Really?

134
00:06:41,901 --> 00:06:43,028
Where did you get it?

135
00:06:43,153 --> 00:06:45,071
From Miss Brooks.

136
00:06:51,202 --> 00:06:52,746
That is special.

137
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:56,750
Actually, it came
from Mrs. Davis.

138
00:06:59,044 --> 00:07:04,132
Or rather her brother, Victor.

139
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:08,136
Well, it has quite a background.

140
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:11,056
And what, may I ask,
are you trying to do with it?

141
00:07:11,181 --> 00:07:14,684
Mrs. Davis thought it might have been
sent over from the hatchery by mistake.

142
00:07:14,809 --> 00:07:17,062
She thought she
detected signs of life.

143
00:07:17,187 --> 00:07:19,939
Indeed, let me see that.

144
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:23,568
Oh, please don't shake
it again, Mr. Conklin.

145
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:30,075
If there is a chick in there, he'll
be born with the blind staggers.

146
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,328
It's just the remotest
possibility, of course, but if

147
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:36,498
we keep it wrapped in some
warm flannel, who knows?

148
00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:39,167
Gad, what a subject
for my camera.

149
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:40,710
Your camera?

150
00:07:40,835 --> 00:07:43,505
Yes, one of the picture
magazines is starting

151
00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:46,132
its annual photographic
contest next week.

152
00:07:46,257 --> 00:07:49,844
If I could get a series of rapid-action flash
photos from the moment this shell cracks until

153
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:53,723
its fuzzy inhabitant peers out at the world for
the first time, I'd be assured of a big prize.

154
00:08:00,105 --> 00:08:02,524
Oh, it would make an
exciting series of pictures.

155
00:08:02,649 --> 00:08:04,192
I can see the caption now.

156
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:08,196
Osgood Conklin,
a newfound friend.

157
00:08:10,657 --> 00:08:14,160
Or better yet, life
comes to Madison High.

158
00:08:14,285 --> 00:08:18,331
We could certainly use a little.

159
00:08:18,456 --> 00:08:19,833
Oh, here you are, Daddy.

160
00:08:19,958 --> 00:08:20,917
Excuse me, folks.

161
00:08:21,042 --> 00:08:21,751
Certainly, Harriet.

162
00:08:21,876 --> 00:08:24,212
I put those new flash bulbs
in your office for you, Daddy.

163
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:25,714
Oh, thank you, Harriet.

164
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:27,799
What are you doing with the egg?

165
00:08:27,924 --> 00:08:34,931
Uh, well, um, we were just
discussing its, um, its, um... Condition?

166
00:08:35,974 --> 00:08:39,310
Well, you see, Harriet, we have
reason to suspect that, well, there's

167
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:42,981
just the barest possibility... The
egg may have... Please, Miss Brooks!

168
00:08:54,617 --> 00:08:57,203
Harriet is a miner.

169
00:08:57,328 --> 00:09:00,206
You mean she still thinks
the stork brings chickens?

170
00:09:00,331 --> 00:09:04,794
I agree with Mr. Conklin, this is
no subject for mixed company.

171
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:06,713
No, no, you'd better
run along, Harriet.

172
00:09:06,838 --> 00:09:08,256
I don't... I don't
get it, Daddy.

173
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:09,924
What's all the mystery about?

174
00:09:10,049 --> 00:09:14,387
I'll have your mother
explain it to you later.

Meanwhile, we'll just get some
nice warm flannel and put this

little prize-winning fowl to be
in a snug little box on my desk.

177
00:09:22,729 --> 00:09:24,689
Well, all right, Daddy.

178
00:09:24,814 --> 00:09:26,858
Oh, before I forget, I'd
like your permission to

179
00:09:26,983 --> 00:09:29,068
leave school a few
minutes early this afternoon.

180
00:09:29,194 --> 00:09:30,904
I promised I'd visit Aunt Lucy.

Aunt Lucy?

182
00:09:31,988 --> 00:09:34,157
Yes, at the Elm Street
Maternity Hospital.

183
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:41,289
My aunt just had
another... Please, Harriet.

184
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:49,589
Not in mixed company.

00:09:54,511 --> 00:10:01,518
Hi, Walter.

187
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:11,861
Miss Conklin asked me
to bring his lunch in to him.

188
00:10:11,986 --> 00:10:15,240
Spaghetti and meatballs.

189
00:10:15,365 --> 00:10:17,325
You can't keep these
meatballs a secret.

190
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:20,036
They're loaded with garlic.

191
00:10:20,161 --> 00:10:22,372
Look, Mr. Coughlin asked you
to bring his lunch because he

192
00:10:22,497 --> 00:10:24,791
doesn't want to leave his
office even for a minute, right?

193
00:10:24,916 --> 00:10:25,542
That's right.

194
00:10:25,667 --> 00:10:28,461
He has the egg in on top
of his desk, and he's going

195
00:10:28,586 --> 00:10:31,464
to snap pictures of it the
minute it begins to hatch.

196
00:10:31,589 --> 00:10:34,717
You know, Mr. Boynton and I have
been quite worried about the effect

197
00:10:34,843 --> 00:10:37,762
of all those flash bulbs if that
poor little chick does hatch.

198
00:10:37,887 --> 00:10:41,349
Yeah, well, Mr. Boynton told me how worried
you were, so when I went in there an hour ago

199
00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:44,936
to empty his wastebasket, I took measures
to prevent his scaring the poor thing silly.

200
00:10:47,605 --> 00:10:49,524
Well, when Mr. Conklin
went into his inner

201
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,985
office to load his camera,
I made a quick switch.

202
00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:52,527
A switch?

203
00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:53,903
Yeah.

204
00:10:54,028 --> 00:10:57,323
The real egg's in here.

205
00:10:57,448 --> 00:11:00,660
When I took it off his
desk, I replaced it with

206
00:11:00,785 --> 00:11:04,038
a nice white rock I found
in Mr. Boynton's lab.

207
00:11:04,163 --> 00:11:09,961
Do you mean that Mr. Conklin is
in there waiting for a rock to hatch?

208
00:11:10,086 --> 00:11:11,546
He thinks it's the egg.

209
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,965
Isn't that a scream?

♪

211

I know Mrs. Davis got the egg
from her brother Victor, Miss

212
00:11:29,564 --> 00:11:32,817
Brooks, but I still don't understand
why you had to phone him.

213
00:11:32,942 --> 00:11:36,571
Well, I thought Victor could give
us some expert advice on hatching.

214

Living on a farm all his
life the way he has, he must

have seen life in its
earliest stages many times.

Oh, come now.

since Victor started this
whole thing... Hi, folks.

221
00:11:57,342 --> 00:11:59,344
Miss Brooks, I stashed
the egg in the faculty room.

Mr. Conklin will never
look for it in there.

Thanks.

226
00:12:03,973 --> 00:12:06,392
Did Miss Brooks tell you about
my substituting a rock for the egg?

227
00:12:06,517 --> 00:12:08,102
Yes, and I'm glad you did it.

228
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:10,647
A newborn chick wouldn't
stand a chance with

all those flashbulbs
popping off in his face.

Mr. Conklin waiting for a rock to hatch.

So can I. Come on,
warm up boy, warm up.

Let's go.

234
00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:29,624
Out of the sack, hit the deck.

When I peeked into
Mr. Conklin's office a few

00:12:52,021 --> 00:12:53,982
minutes ago, he said
you forgot his dessert.

That's right, I did.

241
00:12:55,984 --> 00:12:57,819
Well, I'd better get something
over to him right away.

242
00:12:57,944 --> 00:12:59,070
Want me to take it in for you?

243
00:12:59,195 --> 00:13:02,865
No, you stay here and tell Walter
about your days as a chicken inspector.

244
00:13:02,991 --> 00:13:04,283
Yes.

245
00:13:04,409 --> 00:13:05,368
A what?

246
00:13:05,493 --> 00:13:06,661
She's just kidding, Walter.

247
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:09,330
But there was a time when
I really did inspect chickens.

248
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:10,248
That's right.

249
00:13:10,373 --> 00:13:14,252
But when I came
along, he retired.

250
00:13:25,138 --> 00:13:25,346
See you later.

251
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:28,975
Watch the birdie.

252
00:13:35,773 --> 00:13:37,150
Mr. Conklin?

253
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:44,824
Your witty remarks are
just what the doctor ordered.

254
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:47,785
It may interest you to
know that our little chick

255
00:13:47,910 --> 00:13:50,705
here may see the light of
day at any moment now.

256
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:54,292
This I have got to see.

257
00:13:54,417 --> 00:13:56,169
Well, all the
evidence points to it.

258
00:13:56,294 --> 00:14:00,923
Now, two minutes ago, I held my ear
to that egg and heard a distinct sound.

259
00:14:01,049 --> 00:14:02,508
What sort of a sound?

260
00:14:02,633 --> 00:14:06,387
I heard the little
chick whistling.

261
00:14:06,512 --> 00:14:08,473
Whistling?

262
00:14:08,598 --> 00:14:09,724
Whistling what?

263
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:15,688
Well, it sounded like pop
goes the... It was just whistling.

264
00:14:15,813 --> 00:14:19,317
Now, leave my dessert
and the premises.

265
00:14:19,442 --> 00:14:21,486
Yes, sir, but about
those sounds you've been

266
00:14:21,611 --> 00:14:23,738
hearing, I know a very
good ear, Doctor, sir.

267
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:25,698
Uh, here.

268
00:14:25,823 --> 00:14:26,240
Oh!

269
00:14:26,365 --> 00:14:26,824
Oh, no, no.

270
00:14:26,949 --> 00:14:28,576
Oh, all the clumsiness.

271
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:29,911
Look at that.

272
00:14:30,036 --> 00:14:37,043
Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Conklin.

273
00:14:48,805 --> 00:14:48,971
I'll... Oh, go!

274
00:14:49,097 --> 00:14:49,138
Quiet!

275
00:14:49,263 --> 00:14:49,263
Oh!

276
00:14:49,347 --> 00:14:49,722
Oh!

277
00:14:49,847 --> 00:14:53,059
Miss Brooks... It appears that I,
Osgood Congford, principal of Madison

278
00:14:53,184 --> 00:14:56,813
High, and amateur photographer of
note, have been the victim of a cruel jest.

279
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:10,618
Something wrong, sir?

280
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:15,706
There's something
rotten in Denmark.

281
00:15:15,832 --> 00:15:18,417
Well, it's not that, eh?

282
00:15:18,543 --> 00:15:25,758
Could it be that certain conspirators
have set out to keep the egg and I apart?

283
00:15:25,883 --> 00:15:27,301
The egg and me, sir.

284
00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:33,850
In the objective case...
Where is the McCoy hen group?

285
00:15:33,975 --> 00:15:37,145
If I don't find the egg that
was in this office a little

286
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:40,398
while ago... Don't you
think that's the real egg, sir?

287
00:15:40,523 --> 00:15:41,566
Real egg?

288
00:15:41,691 --> 00:15:43,568
See for yourself.

289
00:15:43,693 --> 00:15:44,902
Go ahead, Miss Brooks.

290
00:15:45,027 --> 00:15:51,492
Wrap it on my desk, then
give me your frank opinion.

291
00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:57,415
And now then, Miss Brooks, what
sort of chicken would that hatch?

292
00:15:57,540 --> 00:16:00,209
Here, Miss Rocks!

293
00:16:10,761 --> 00:16:11,721
Victor?

294
00:16:11,846 --> 00:16:13,222
Yes, Miss Brooks?

295
00:16:13,347 --> 00:16:15,558
Is this your first?

296
00:16:15,683 --> 00:16:19,520
Heck no!

297
00:16:19,645 --> 00:16:22,899
I've seen hundreds of eggs
hatch in my place, but this

298
00:16:23,024 --> 00:16:26,235
is the first time I've ever
been called in on a case.

299
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,779
Frankly, I don't see why
you were put to all this bother.

300
00:16:28,905 --> 00:16:30,281
Oh, it wasn't any bother.

301
00:16:30,406 --> 00:16:32,992
I just hiked out to the
main road, got on a

302
00:16:33,117 --> 00:16:35,995
bus, transferred to the
trolley, and here I am.

303
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,413
Can I have you to a car?

304
00:16:37,538 --> 00:16:42,210
Sure, but one of my
pigs was sitting under it.

305
00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:43,628
Asleep.

306
00:16:43,753 --> 00:16:45,171
I didn't want to disturb him.

307
00:16:45,296 --> 00:16:49,383
Well, I don't know about you, but I
find this a very nerve-wracking ordeal.

308
00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:50,426
Steady, boy.

309
00:16:50,551 --> 00:16:54,263
We haven't lost a
biology teacher yet.

310
00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:56,641
If it would make you folks
feel any better, we could

311
00:16:56,766 --> 00:16:59,143
take this blessed event out
to the hatchery on my farm.

312
00:16:59,268 --> 00:17:01,103
It's scientifically
heeded, you know.

313
00:17:01,229 --> 00:17:02,438
Did you hear that, Mr. Boyden?

314
00:17:02,563 --> 00:17:03,689
He has a hatchery.

315
00:17:03,814 --> 00:17:07,735
We'll just bundle our patient up
and get in a taxi and go out there.

316
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:09,612
But there might not be
enough time, Miss Brooks.

317
00:17:09,737 --> 00:17:11,322
Suppose it should
happen on the way.

318
00:17:11,447 --> 00:17:12,198
So what?

319
00:17:12,323 --> 00:17:17,161
Cab drivers are used
to situations like this.

320
00:17:17,286 --> 00:17:21,249
I know one had six kittens
right in the back of his taxi.

321
00:17:21,374 --> 00:17:24,543
I still say we shouldn't move
our patient in his tender condition.

322
00:17:24,669 --> 00:17:26,379
His tender condition?

323
00:17:26,504 --> 00:17:29,966
Besides, I asked Harriet Conklin to
bring us an additional heating unit.

324
00:17:30,091 --> 00:17:31,342
You spoke to Harriet?

325
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:32,677
Why didn't you ask Walter?

326
00:17:32,802 --> 00:17:34,595
I couldn't find him anywhere.

327
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,805
Oh, you mean Walter Denton.

328
00:17:35,930 --> 00:17:37,723
He scooted out of here
the minute I arrived.

329
00:17:37,848 --> 00:17:39,475
Just said he was
going over to my farm.

330
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:40,518
Your farm?

331
00:17:40,643 --> 00:17:41,769
Yes, my farm.

332
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:43,854
Here's the heating
unit you ordered.

333
00:17:43,980 --> 00:17:44,814
Oh, thanks.

334
00:17:44,939 --> 00:17:46,148
Harriet!

335
00:17:46,274 --> 00:17:49,860
We want a chicken,
not a hard-boiled egg.

336
00:17:49,986 --> 00:17:51,737
Oh, this will be fine, Harriet.

337
00:17:51,862 --> 00:17:55,032
Daddy's assembling his
camera equipment like mad.

338
00:17:55,157 --> 00:17:57,451
He seemed very surprised when
I told him the egg was down here.

339
00:17:57,576 --> 00:17:59,370
You told Daddy?

340
00:17:59,495 --> 00:18:01,330
Well, there's not a minute
to lose, Mr. Boynton.

341
00:18:01,455 --> 00:18:02,957
It's the hatchery or bus.

342
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:04,041
Nothing doing.

343
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:06,168
All we need is
some more hot water.

344
00:18:06,294 --> 00:18:09,297
Victor, would you go with the
cafeteria and boil some for us?

345
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:10,298
Sure.

346
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:11,507
Where is it?

347
00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:12,049
I'll show you.

348
00:18:12,174 --> 00:18:13,009
Just follow me.

349
00:18:13,134 --> 00:18:14,135
Thanks.

350
00:18:15,886 --> 00:18:18,264
I still think we ought
to go, too, Mr. Barton.

351
00:18:18,389 --> 00:18:20,308
We're going to stay
right here, Miss Brooks.

352
00:18:20,433 --> 00:18:24,145
As a biology teacher of many years'
experience, you can take my word for it.

353
00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:28,190
This shell is going to
crack open any minute.

354
00:18:28,316 --> 00:18:29,275
Hey!

355
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,277
Walter, where have you been?

356
00:18:31,402 --> 00:18:34,196
Well, at a time like this, I
figured the mother should be here.

357
00:18:34,322 --> 00:18:41,620
Oh, that's perfect.

358
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:43,497
Mr. Boynton, now
she can sit on it.

359
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:46,792
She has a built-in heating unit.

360
00:18:46,917 --> 00:18:49,045
Oh, that isn't really the egg.

361
00:18:49,170 --> 00:18:49,962
What?

362
00:18:50,087 --> 00:18:50,629
Oh, no.

363
00:18:50,755 --> 00:18:54,216
I figured Mr. Coughlin might get wind of
it, so I pulled the old switcheroo again.

364
00:18:54,342 --> 00:18:55,634
And that's another rock.

365
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,845
I hid the real egg.

366
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:01,057
Well, where did
you put the real egg?

367
00:19:01,182 --> 00:19:04,101
Tell me I'm not too late.

368
00:19:04,226 --> 00:19:06,145
No, not at all, Mr. Conklin.

369
00:19:06,270 --> 00:19:09,815
We were just going to find
out who the butler killed.

370
00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:12,777
If you'll excuse me for a moment,
I have to ask Walter a question.

371
00:19:12,902 --> 00:19:14,320
No, don't move, Miss Brooks.

372
00:19:14,445 --> 00:19:15,237
You have the egg.

373
00:19:15,363 --> 00:19:16,655
Uh, just a minute, sir.

374
00:19:16,781 --> 00:19:18,449
Don't bother me now, Boynton.

375
00:19:18,574 --> 00:19:20,993
Denton, get me some extra
flash bulbs from my office.

376
00:19:21,118 --> 00:19:23,662
I may take dozens of
pictures of this great event.

377
00:19:23,788 --> 00:19:29,460
But sir, I... I'm
the double boy!

378
00:19:29,585 --> 00:19:32,880
Now, I'm going to forget
about all past chicanery.

379
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:37,134
Any fool can see that the egg you're
holding so tenderly is the genuine article.

380
00:19:37,259 --> 00:19:41,055
But don't you think we ought to
put it back in its cozy little nest?

381
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:49,021
Well, it's all yours,
Mr. Carpenter.

382
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:51,732
Morgan!

383
00:19:56,278 --> 00:19:59,949
Come in.

384
00:20:03,494 --> 00:20:10,751
Miss Brooke... Mr. Boyden... I demand
to know the whereabouts of the real eggs.

385
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:15,214
I will give you one
minute to confess.

386
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:23,597
Miss Brooks!

387
00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:30,604
Miss Brooks!

388
00:20:32,982 --> 00:20:37,862
I cannot tell a lie.

389
00:20:37,987 --> 00:20:44,994
I did it with my
little hatchery.

390
00:21:04,972 --> 00:21:11,979
The.

391
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:28,913
The.

392
00:21:32,416 --> 00:21:39,423
THE END

392
00:21:40,305 --> 00:22:40,175
