1. - One of the most
interesting heroesCopy !req
2. to spring from our country's
folkloreCopy !req
3. is a man by the name
of Jonathan Chapman.Copy !req
4. Better known
as Johnny Appleseed.Copy !req
5. Now some say Johnny was a saint.Copy !req
6. Others say he was nothing,Copy !req
7. but an apple-headed looney bird.Copy !req
8. But all agree he left
a living legacy
of apple orchardsCopy !req
9. across America's heartland
nearly 200 years ago.Copy !req
10. Orchards just like this one.Copy !req
11. Ah...Copy !req
12. - Here we are.Copy !req
13. Sometimes, that handle
gets stuck.Copy !req
14. Well, there she is.Copy !req
15. All 40 acres.Copy !req
16. Tell the truth, I hate to sell.Copy !req
17. But times are tough.Copy !req
18. This ain't exactly the golden
age of farmin'.Copy !req
19. Now, what was it you wanted
to put up here?Copy !req
20. A hundred condos...Copy !req
21. Gee, I don't know...Copy !req
22. Seems like a shame to waste
something so dang beautiful.Copy !req
23. Well, they're apple trees!Copy !req
24. See?Copy !req
25. This is an apple.Copy !req
26. And it grows on trees!Copy !req
27. Doesn't grow in plastic bags
in the supermarket
as you might think!Copy !req
28. Yes, it is pretty amazing.Copy !req
29. Yep! This old orchard
has quite a history.Copy !req
30. Was planted by Mr. Johnny
Appleseed himself.Copy !req
31. What?Copy !req
32. You never heard
of Johnny Appleseed?Copy !req
33. Where is it you say
you come from? Venus?Copy !req
34. You better sit right down hereCopy !req
35. and I'm gonna tell you
the story of old Johnny.Copy !req
36. 'Cause if you're gonna dig up
all these treesCopy !req
37. and put in a bunch of jacuzzis,Copy !req
38. you ought to know
the history of the place.Copy !req
39. No, I ain't got a pillow
for your rear-end!Copy !req
40. Just sit on the ground!Copy !req
41. Now, the day
Johnny Chapman was born,Copy !req
42. it was raining cats and dogs.Copy !req
43. But the second he came
into this world...Copy !req
44. the rain just stoppedCopy !req
45. and a beautiful rainbow
arched across the skyCopy !req
46. and ran smack into an apple treCopy !req
47. right outside
of the bedroom window.Copy !req
48. And I guess maybe
that was a sign
of things to come...Copy !req
49. 'cause from that day on,Copy !req
50. little Johnny
was just crazy about apples.Copy !req
51. He'd only drink apple juice
from his baby bottleCopy !req
52. and he wouldn't even go to sleeCopy !req
53. lest he was lying
under an apple tree.Copy !req
54. And Johnny took on
a few more peculiar habitsCopy !req
55. like refusing
to sleep or eat indoors.Copy !req
56. Don't encourage him,
Martha.Copy !req
57. - The kids in town thought
Johnny had a loose marbleCopy !req
58. so his only friends
were the animalsCopy !req
59. and while other kids
had lemonade stands,Copy !req
60. Johnny was operating
a roadside pet hospital.Copy !req
61. - I wouldn't worry, though.
It's just a little heartburn.Copy !req
62. Nah, no charge!Copy !req
63. Next!Copy !req
64. - When Johnny
got to be about 18,Copy !req
65. he decided to set out
to seek his fame and fortune.Copy !req
66. - Son!Copy !req
67. I packed you some apple cookies,Copy !req
68. a little strudel
and some dried apple slices
for you to nibble on.Copy !req
69. - Thanks, Mom.
I forgot all about food.Copy !req
70. - You're throwing away
your future!Copy !req
71. - I know, Dad.Copy !req
72. - A bum... is that
what you wanna do
with your life?Copy !req
73. Be a bum!Copy !req
74. - Dad, I... I just...Copy !req
75. need to find a place
where I fit in.Copy !req
76. - Why can't you fit in
at Harvard?Copy !req
77. Pull some strings,
get you an interview...Copy !req
78. No, you want to go
traipsing around,Copy !req
79. looking for...Copy !req
80. What are you looking for anyway?Copy !req
81. - Well, I...Copy !req
82. I guess I'm just...
looking for me.Copy !req
83. - I'll save you a trip.Copy !req
84. You're right here,
in your front yard.Copy !req
85. - Oh, Walter!Copy !req
86. It's just a phase!Copy !req
87. He'll grow out of it.Copy !req
88. - Into what?
Full grown nut?Copy !req
89. - Bye, Mom!Copy !req
90. Bye, Dad.Copy !req
91. - Get out of here,
you apple-headed looney bird.Copy !req
92. - Bye, Dad.Copy !req
93. - But before
Johnny hit the road,Copy !req
94. he stopped by the general storeCopy !req
95. to load up
on travelling supplies.Copy !req
96. - Hello, Mr. Goodwin.
- Johnny! Congratulations
on Harvard!Copy !req
97. - Oh no, I'm not going
to Harvard.Copy !req
98. Instead, I'm just gonna...
walk around the country.Copy !req
99. And look at the trees and...Copy !req
100. talk to the animals, and...Copy !req
101. maybe figure out my purpose
in this funny old world.Copy !req
102. - Your dad must be thrilled.Copy !req
103. - But first thing,
I'm gonna need
some travelling clothes.Copy !req
104. - Fine, I have shirts,
shoes, trousers...Copy !req
105. - Hey! This looks good.Copy !req
106. - That's a sack of potatoes,
Johnny.Copy !req
107. - Yeah, I know, but... but...
Look, Mr. Goodwin,Copy !req
108. if we cut a hole in the sack
for the head...Copy !req
109. and a couple more holes
for the arms...Copy !req
110. this could be great!Copy !req
111. - You want to wear
a burlap sack?Copy !req
112. - Sure!Copy !req
113. Oh, I'll need a hat
and a pot for cooking.Copy !req
114. - Here's a pot.Copy !req
115. Now...Copy !req
116. - Wait!Copy !req
117. Wait, Mr. Goo...Copy !req
118. Wait a second. This...Copy !req
119. This is a great idea!
This could be a pot and a hat!Copy !req
120. How's it look?Copy !req
121. - Frankly, Johnny,
it looks stupid.Copy !req
122. - But very functional
because it saves me the trouble
of carrying around a pot.Copy !req
123. Forget the hat,
I'm wearing the pot.Copy !req
124. - Fine. Anything else?
Boots, canteen, blanket?
Potholders?Copy !req
125. - No, no. I think the pot
and the sack will do it.Copy !req
126. Do you mind if I pay you
with apple seeds?Copy !req
127. - Oh... no need, Johnny.
It's on me.Copy !req
128. - Oh, thank you, Mr. Goodwin.Copy !req
129. Well, I'm off!Copy !req
130. - Yes...Copy !req
131. He's... off alright.Copy !req
132. - Well, here I am
cooking dinner!Copy !req
133. And then, I'll... eat it!Copy !req
134. And then I'll...Copy !req
135. maybe have some dessert.Copy !req
136. Maybe another apple.Copy !req
137. And then...Copy !req
138. I'll go to sleep.Copy !req
139. And tomorrow...Copy !req
140. I'll start walking.Copy !req
141. Some more...Copy !req
142. Of course, I...Copy !req
143. I walked a lot today, but...Copy !req
144. I only got as far as here.Copy !req
145. Maybe...Copy !req
146. what I need is... is...Copy !req
147. some kind of reason...Copy !req
148. for being out here.Copy !req
149. - I'll tell you, Johnny,Copy !req
150. starting a hurricane
is murder on the hair.Copy !req
151. - Who are you?Copy !req
152. - Betty. Betty Nature.Copy !req
153. You probably know me as Mother.Copy !req
154. - You're Mother Nature?Copy !req
155. - Johnny, I see you out here
in my territory,Copy !req
156. wondering about
and as far as I can tell,Copy !req
157. you're just taking up space.Copy !req
158. - Yeah, I know. I was...
thinking about that.Copy !req
159. - Look, Johnny,Copy !req
160. let me come right to the point,Copy !req
161. I got a job for you.Copy !req
162. You like apples, right?Copy !req
163. - I sure do.
- Me, too.Copy !req
164. And at the moment,
I have a shortage
of apple trees,Copy !req
165. so what I want you to do
is go to the cider millsCopy !req
166. and pick up as many apple seeds
as you can carry.Copy !req
167. Then, I want you to travel
around the countryCopy !req
168. and plant apple orchards.Copy !req
169. - Really?
What a great job!Copy !req
170. Why didn't I think of that?Copy !req
171. I gotta start right this second.Copy !req
172. - Uh, Johnny...Copy !req
173. This is a dream.Copy !req
174. Wait until you wake up.Copy !req
175. - Oh, yeah, right!
- And one more thing...Copy !req
176. You're no longer Johnny Chapman.Copy !req
177. From now on,Copy !req
178. you will be Johnny Appleseed.Copy !req
179. - Johnny Appleseed.Copy !req
180. That's nice, I like the way it
kind of rolls off the tongue.Copy !req
181. Thank you, Mother Nature!Copy !req
182. - Betty.Copy !req
183. Now go on out and make me proud.Copy !req
184. Johnny Appleseed!Copy !req
185. - And so Johnny now
had his mission in lifeCopy !req
186. and he started planting apples
all over the country
like there was no tomorrow!Copy !req
187. He travelled like the wind,Copy !req
188. planting here, planting there,Copy !req
189. stopping only to take a quick
snooze or heal a sick animal.Copy !req
190. Johnny even devised his own
original method of planting.Copy !req
191. Something he called the
Appleseed Heel and Toe-Ha.Copy !req
192. Naturally, all his travelling
and hoppingCopy !req
193. occasionally brought him
smack dab in the middle
of a settlement.Copy !req
194. - Gentlemen...Copy !req
195. Gentlemen!Copy !req
196. I'm not pleased
with the quality of furs
that you're bringing to me.Copy !req
197. Mr. Smith, we're doing the best
we know how to!Copy !req
198. - Jed, did I give you
permission to speak?Copy !req
199. I don't think so.Copy !req
200. Now where was I?Copy !req
201. Oh yes!Copy !req
202. Unless I see a dramatic
improvementCopy !req
203. and I mean soon,Copy !req
204. I will be forced to cut off
all your creditCopy !req
205. at my trading post,
which means...Copy !req
206. that you...Copy !req
207. and your homely wives
and disgusting little children
will starve.Copy !req
208. But that would break my heart.Copy !req
209. Gentlemen, all I'm asking forCopy !req
210. is a couple thousand hides
of beaver, fox and mink!Copy !req
211. Is that so difficult?Copy !req
212. - There ain't no mink
in these parts!Copy !req
213. - I know...Copy !req
214. That's why they're so valuable.Copy !req
215. Now get trappin'!Copy !req
216. Move it!Copy !req
217. - Pardon me, friends!Copy !req
218. Could you direct me
to the local trading post?Copy !req
219. - We ain't your friends.Copy !req
220. - Fine.
I can live with that.Copy !req
221. You see, I'm in need of
some farming supplies—Copy !req
222. - We don't do
no farmin' around here.Copy !req
223. Mr. Smith says that's
sissy work!Copy !req
224. - We're hunters and trappers.Copy !req
225. We live off
the meat of the land.Copy !req
226. - Anybody home?Copy !req
227. - That's... good.Copy !req
228. Well...Copy !req
229. Thank you for your help,
gentlemen.Copy !req
230. - One strange potato, Joe.Copy !req
231. - Cuckoo, Butch.Copy !req
232. - Can I help—
- Aaah!Copy !req
233. - You shouldn't creep up
behind a fellow like that!Copy !req
234. - Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to creep.Copy !req
235. - Oh, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
236. I'm sorry I overreacted.Copy !req
237. I'm just not that used
to people.Copy !req
238. - Is that a pan on your head?Copy !req
239. - Oh, no, no.
Actually, it's a pot.Copy !req
240. I know it looks sort of funny,
but I'm just...Copy !req
241. it's actually very practical.Copy !req
242. - I like your burlap shirt.Copy !req
243. I mean... pants.Copy !req
244. Outfit!Copy !req
245. I like it.Copy !req
246. - Well, that's just...Copy !req
247. something I threw together!Copy !req
248. - Oh, I'm Jenny Smith.
I work here.Copy !req
249. My uncle owns this trading post.Copy !req
250. - Oh, Johnny Appleseed.Copy !req
251. - I like to plant.Copy !req
252. - Gee, I never met
a man who planted.Copy !req
253. - Well...Copy !req
254. I'm looking for mulch?Copy !req
255. - Oh, I'm sorry...Copy !req
256. Mulch died about six months ago.Copy !req
257. - No, I mean, like... manure.Copy !req
258. - May I help you?Copy !req
259. - Oh, hi, Uncle Jack.Copy !req
260. - Jenny, I don't recall
giving you permission
to talk with strangers.Copy !req
261. - Well,
this is Johnny Appleseed.Copy !req
262. My uncle Jack.Copy !req
263. Well, I'm gonna go look
for some manure.Copy !req
264. - Pardon me if I don't shake
your hand,Copy !req
265. but I want you
out of my trading post.Copy !req
266. - Any particular reason?
- Yes!Copy !req
267. You're ugly, you're dirty
and you smell like bad meat.Copy !req
268. I don't want my niece
contaminated by you.Copy !req
269. Any further questions?Copy !req
270. - Yes. Do you carry any
of those little short shovels?
- Out!Copy !req
271. - With the little handles...
- Out!Copy !req
272. - And the—
- Out!Copy !req
273. - Oh!Copy !req
274. - That's the way
out of town.Copy !req
275. If you don't mind.Copy !req
276. The Indians will take care
of him.Copy !req
277. - Hello!Copy !req
278. I assume you're the chief?Copy !req
279. - Mm-hmm.Copy !req
280. - Appleseed, Johnny Appleseed.
At your service, sir.Copy !req
281. - You're not from Smithville,
are you?Copy !req
282. - No, no, I'm not.Copy !req
283. - Good, good.Copy !req
284. See, I'm convincedCopy !req
285. that Smithville is the breeding
ground for all stupid white men.Copy !req
286. - Maybe it's their diet.Copy !req
287. - What's that on your head?Copy !req
288. - Oh, it's, it's,
uh... a hat.Copy !req
289. Well, it's a pot.Copy !req
290. Pot-hat.Copy !req
291. A pot and a hat.Copy !req
292. - I like it.Copy !req
293. - Oh, thank you! Well...Copy !req
294. It's, it's... it comes in handy.Copy !req
295. I mean, can you cook in that?Copy !req
296. - No. It's very impractical
to cook in feathers.Copy !req
297. Ah, corn, good.Copy !req
298. I hate corn!Copy !req
299. It's all we ever eat.Copy !req
300. Cream of corn, corn on the cob,Copy !req
301. corn pancakes.Copy !req
302. - Oh, have you ever had
one of these?Copy !req
303. - What is this?Copy !req
304. - It's called an apple.Copy !req
305. Apple.Copy !req
306. Ap-ple!Copy !req
307. - I can hear you.
- Oh! I'm sorry.Copy !req
308. - Why are you talking like that?Copy !req
309. - I don't know...!Copy !req
310. - Mm...Copy !req
311. That's what I call food!
- Yeah, isn't it good?Copy !req
312. - It's crunchy...Copy !req
313. tasty...Copy !req
314. And sweet!Copy !req
315. - I'm gonna have one too!Copy !req
316. - You got more in there?
- Ah! A full bag!Copy !req
317. Mm! Isn't it good?Copy !req
318. - And so, after teaching
the chief and his peopleCopy !req
319. how to plant and care
for apples,Copy !req
320. Johnny finally got around
to saying his goodbyes.Copy !req
321. - Thanks for everything, Johnny.Copy !req
322. And that cobbler was
out of this world!Copy !req
323. - Ah, you liked it?Copy !req
324. I'm glad.Copy !req
325. - Uh... did I tell you
I liked your pot?Copy !req
326. - Only about five times.Copy !req
327. Oh! Look, I... I...Copy !req
328. I just happen
to have a spare one!Copy !req
329. Would you like to try it on?Copy !req
330. - Ah!Copy !req
331. - Hmm...Copy !req
332. - It's you, chief!Copy !req
333. - And here's a gift for you.Copy !req
334. This pouch containsCopy !req
335. magical healing herbs.Copy !req
336. - Oh... thank you.Copy !req
337. Take care.Copy !req
338. Bye-bye.Copy !req
339. Bye-bye.Copy !req
340. - Anything?Copy !req
341. - I'm sorry, honey. I'm just
not a very good trapper.Copy !req
342. How's little Mac?Copy !req
343. - He's worse.Copy !req
344. I don't know what else
to do for him.Copy !req
345. - Once...Copy !req
346. Just once... I wish
a little luck would come my way.Copy !req
347. This is not what I had in mind.Copy !req
348. - Morning, neighbour!
Name's Johnny Appleseed.Copy !req
349. - Name's Fitz.
You look like a fruit.Copy !req
350. - Actually, I don't.Copy !req
351. A fruit is... is much smaller,
and they rarely talk.Copy !req
352. Friend, I'm here
to change your life!Copy !req
353. Johnny's the name
and apples are my game!Copy !req
354. And I'm here to offer you
the opportunity of a lifetime.Copy !req
355. All I ask is you allow me
to plant an apple orchard
in your land.Copy !req
356. I'll provide the seeds,
labour and the knowledge.Copy !req
357. Then, with a minimum of effort
on your part,Copy !req
358. you become a prosperous man.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
359. What do you get out of it?Copy !req
360. - Oh, the simple joy of seeing
those sad hound dog eyes
of yours twinkle with delight.Copy !req
361. So... what do you think?Copy !req
362. - I think your pot's on
too tight.Copy !req
363. - Little Mac's getting worse!Copy !req
364. - I wish I knew what to do,
Anna.Copy !req
365. - Maybe I can help.Copy !req
366. - Here, Johnny.Copy !req
367. I boiled those herbs,
just like you said.Copy !req
368. - Little Mac...
drink this.Copy !req
369. - That's it... oh...Copy !req
370. An apple a day keeps
the doctor away.Copy !req
371. - If my boy dies, I'll wrap
that pot around your head!Copy !req
372. Did I mention I don't like you?Copy !req
373. - The fever's broke!
It worked!Copy !req
374. - Oh, Johnny!
I love you!Copy !req
375. - Could you love me
a little bit less?Copy !req
376. Mac, I've got fragile ribs.Copy !req
377. - We'd be mighty honoured
if you stayed the night,
Mr. Appleseed.Copy !req
378. - I'd appreciate that, ma'am.Copy !req
379. - Yes, I can see the point.Copy !req
380. If I was there,
I'd do the same thing.Copy !req
381. - Johnny?Copy !req
382. You know, you can sleep
in the cabin if you want.Copy !req
383. Oh, that's okay, Mac.
I... I prefer the outdoors.Copy !req
384. - Who were you talking to
out here?Copy !req
385. - Oh, I... I...
I was...Copy !req
386. I was just chatting
with your dog.Copy !req
387. He was telling meCopy !req
388. that most of the animals
are leaving the area.Copy !req
389. Apparently, they are...Copy !req
390. tired of being killed
by all the trappers.Copy !req
391. - Johnny, you don't really talk
to the animals, do you?Copy !req
392. - Oh, yeah, yeah.Copy !req
393. Of course, you can't...Copy !req
394. talk to each animal
the same way.
You have to...Copy !req
395. talk to each one individually.Copy !req
396. You know, for example, uh...Copy !req
397. a dog is... is very smart,
so you can...Copy !req
398. talk almost normally to them.Copy !req
399. But, uh...Copy !req
400. squirrels, racoons,Copy !req
401. you talk very slowly so they...Copy !req
402. won't get confused.Copy !req
403. And birds...!Copy !req
404. Don't get me started on birds.Copy !req
405. Aah!Copy !req
406. - Johnny, I just wanted
to say that, uh...Copy !req
407. if you'd like to
plant some apple trees
on my land,Copy !req
408. it's alright with me.Copy !req
409. - Ah, thank you, Mac!
That's wonderful,Copy !req
410. I'll get started in the morning.Copy !req
411. - But I got to warn you
that Mr. Smith
ain't gonna like it.Copy !req
412. Of course, he doesn't like me
much anyway...Copy !req
413. See, I don't do things
Smith's way,Copy !req
414. so I'm sort of an outcast,Copy !req
415. and we're just barely
scraping by here.Copy !req
416. And believe me,
Smith is not gonna pay me moneyCopy !req
417. for a load of apple hides!Copy !req
418. - Peels!
- Yeah, whatever.Copy !req
419. Well! Good-night to you.Copy !req
420. - Good-night.Copy !req
421. - Thanks again, Johnny.
- Oh, thank you!Copy !req
422. So anyway, um...Copy !req
423. can you talk to them or is it...Copy !req
424. do you know
where they're going?Copy !req
425. - Don't get me wrong,
I really like the guy.Copy !req
426. But I truly think he might be
from a different planet.Copy !req
427. - Did you two take care of that
matter as I requested?Copy !req
428. - Oh oh oh! We fixed
his wagon good.Copy !req
429. - Good, good!Copy !req
430. - You made sure his apples
won't grow?Copy !req
431. I mean, it's not that
I don't trust you,Copy !req
432. it's just
that I don't trust you.Copy !req
433. How did you do it?Copy !req
434. - We spread manure
all over his field.Copy !req
435. - Everywhere!
Those seeds don't have a chance!Copy !req
436. - You two bring new meaning
to the word moron.Copy !req
437. Would you kindly hand me
that club over there?Copy !req
438. Boy, I ought to!Copy !req
439. - I still can't believe it.
They just...Copy !req
440. grew right out of the ground!Copy !req
441. And it's really gonna be a tree?Copy !req
442. - With your help, man.Copy !req
443. - Oh, you bet! I'm not gonna let
my little babies down.Copy !req
444. - Well then, here's
what you have to do:Copy !req
445. you have to...Copy !req
446. Johnny taught Mac
how to care for the newly
planted orchard.Copy !req
447. Once again, he hit the road.Copy !req
448. Planting more orchardsCopy !req
449. and of course,
talking with various animals.Copy !req
450. Sure, he might have gotten lost
a couple of times,Copy !req
451. but he finally made his way
back to SmithvilleCopy !req
452. stopping first to check in
on the Maclntosh family.Copy !req
453. - You did a great job, Mac,
these are beautiful!Copy !req
454. - Well, I had a good teacher.Copy !req
455. You know there's a guy back East
who'll buy every bushel
I can send him?Copy !req
456. - Really?
- Yeah!Copy !req
457. - Boy, it sounds like
you're doing real good.Copy !req
458. - Yeah...Copy !req
459. but I'm the only one.Copy !req
460. You were right
about all the animals leaving.Copy !req
461. The rest of the folks
are nearly starving.Copy !req
462. And Smith ain't no help.Copy !req
463. - Well, Mac, remember...Copy !req
464. one bad apple doesn't spoil
the whole barrel.Copy !req
465. - Yeah...Copy !req
466. - Well, it looks like you had
some luck today, Jed.Copy !req
467. - Euh, yeah, well...
I came up with these.Copy !req
468. - Um, what are they?Copy !req
469. - Mice furs.Copy !req
470. - Mice furs.Copy !req
471. Imagine this guy coming here
with mice furs.Copy !req
472. - Thank you, Miss Jenny.Copy !req
473. - What do you have, Zeke?Copy !req
474. - Gophers and hamsters.Copy !req
475. - Johnny, you're back!Copy !req
476. I missed you so much!Copy !req
477. You left without even
saying goodbye.Copy !req
478. - Oh, I said goodbye,
you just didn't hear me.Copy !req
479. I was two miles away
when I said it.Copy !req
480. - I forgive you.Copy !req
481. - You look more beautiful
than ever, Jenny.Copy !req
482. - Oh, I bet you say that
to all the girls.Copy !req
483. - I... I don't know
any other girls.Copy !req
484. - Did you miss me?Copy !req
485. - Miss you... oh, sure, well...
I guess I missed you.Copy !req
486. - You sure know
how to flatter a girl.Copy !req
487. You're not like any other person
I've ever met.Copy !req
488. - Johnny, old pal!Copy !req
489. Heard you were back in town!Copy !req
490. - Old pal?
- And you're looking
very healthy.Copy !req
491. New pot? Love it!
Looks very smart.Copy !req
492. Precious, could you excuse us
for just a teeny tiny
little moment?Copy !req
493. Thank you, dear.Copy !req
494. Listen, you stinking
bag of rotten fruit,Copy !req
495. you stay away from my niece
and you get out of my town!Copy !req
496. If you're still here
in 30 seconds,Copy !req
497. I'm gonna play William Tell
with your head.Copy !req
498. - Pleasure to see you again,
Jack.Copy !req
499. I'd love to stay,
but I do have to run.Copy !req
500. Anyway, best to the family.Copy !req
501. - Psst! Johnny.Copy !req
502. - Oh, hi, fellows,
what can I do for you?Copy !req
503. - We was wonderingCopy !req
504. if you could teach us some of
this farming and planting stuff?Copy !req
505. - Yeah, 'cause there ain't
no more furs and...Copy !req
506. Mr. Smith,
he's squeezing us dry.Copy !req
507. - And after we seen what
you've done for Maclntosh,Copy !req
508. we says to ourselves:Copy !req
509. "This is the life for us."Copy !req
510. - Oh, you big galoots!Copy !req
511. Well, this is
what you have to do.
You have to get...Copy !req
512. So,
Johnny began teaching
the men all about farming.Copy !req
513. Starting with his own unique
planting method.Copy !req
514. He taught them how to care
for the young seedlings.Copy !req
515. How to feed them,
how to make them strong.Copy !req
516. Then, he taught them how
to grow other things
besides apples,Copy !req
517. so that they could learn
to be totally self-sufficient.Copy !req
518. After that, Johnny taught
the settlers the basics
of animal husbandry.Copy !req
519. - And that, students,Copy !req
520. is the story of the egg!Copy !req
521. I see our time is up,Copy !req
522. so tonight's homework is
to write a reportCopy !req
523. on the difference between a cow
and a bull.Copy !req
524. That's enough out of you,
Jeremiah!Copy !req
525. Gosh!Copy !req
526. An apple for the teacher.Copy !req
527. What an original gift.Copy !req
528. - Johnny, I'm so proud of you!Copy !req
529. Thanks to you, the whole
settlement is filled with hope.Copy !req
530. - Oh...Copy !req
531. I'm nothing, but a simple
guy in a burlap bag.Copy !req
532. - I think you're wonderful.Copy !req
533. - Gee!Copy !req
534. I guess there are some
advantages to being nothing but
a simple guy in a burlap bag.Copy !req
535. - Gentlemen.Copy !req
536. I am deeply troubled
by the recent turn of events.Copy !req
537. As you well know, I have always
held the reins of power
in our humble settlement.Copy !req
538. I guess you could say
that I've...Copy !req
539. been a father to the people.Copy !req
540. In fact,
I've been more like a god.Copy !req
541. Amen.Copy !req
542. - But things have changed.Copy !req
543. As we speak, Mr. Appleseed
is teaching my peopleCopy !req
544. to be self-sufficient.Copy !req
545. And they're liking it!Copy !req
546. How dare he think that
he can help my people?Copy !req
547. You know what I'd like to do?Copy !req
548. I'd like to take that skinny
little pothead by the throatCopy !req
549. and choke him
till he's gasping for air.Copy !req
550. Then, I'd like to take his noseCopy !req
551. and twist it off his face.Copy !req
552. Then, I'd like to take his earsCopy !req
553. and shake his head
back and forth!Copy !req
554. Back and forth
until I rattle every single seedCopy !req
555. out of his head!Copy !req
556. Now...Copy !req
557. I'd like some feedback
on my proposal.Copy !req
558. But before Smith
could make good on his threats,Copy !req
559. the rain suddenly stoppedCopy !req
560. and the entire area was plunged
into a terrible drought.Copy !req
561. And the newly planted crops
started to wither and die.Copy !req
562. - You call this corn?Copy !req
563. I call this dead!Copy !req
564. May I ask what it is
you're doing?Copy !req
565. - Oh, you certainly may,
I'm getting water for the crops.Copy !req
566. - No, you're not.Copy !req
567. - Yes, I'm positive
that's what I'm doing.Copy !req
568. See, there's a drought
going on—Copy !req
569. - No. No, no.
This is my well.Copy !req
570. Therefore, it is my water.Copy !req
571. - Oh, well, in that case,
it's very generous of youCopy !req
572. to share some of the water
with us, because—Copy !req
573. Boy, that's refreshing!Copy !req
574. Albeit a bit wasteful...Copy !req
575. - Boys, he's getting
on my nerves.Copy !req
576. - I... I've never really liked
guns.Copy !req
577. Especially when
they're pointing at me.Copy !req
578. Now, if you'll excuse me.Copy !req
579. - Hi, Johnny.
- Hi, Betty.Copy !req
580. Don't tell me I fell asleep.Copy !req
581. - Don't worry, Johnny,
you're awake.Copy !req
582. You see, variety is the spice
of Mother Nature.Copy !req
583. Sometimes, I appear in a dream,Copy !req
584. sometimes I appear
in the real worldCopy !req
585. and most of the time,
I don't even appear.Copy !req
586. - Well, I don't mean to be rude,
Betty,Copy !req
587. but I'm in a big hurry.Copy !req
588. - Johnny!
- Yes?Copy !req
589. - What are you doing?Copy !req
590. - Well, I'm running to the river
to get water for the orchards.Copy !req
591. - The river is 50 miles away!Copy !req
592. - I know, that's why
I'm in a big hurry.Copy !req
593. - Oh, Johnny, sweetheart,
I love you.Copy !req
594. And you're doing a terrific job
with your apples,Copy !req
595. but you're like...Copy !req
596. you're like a snowstorm
on the North Pole.Copy !req
597. A lot of activity,Copy !req
598. but no effect.Copy !req
599. - Well, what else can I do?Copy !req
600. The river's the only source
of water left.Copy !req
601. That is, unless you'd like to
put an end to the silly drought.Copy !req
602. - Mother Nature can't be
that convenient.Copy !req
603. Besides, I can't save your hide
every time you get into a jam,Copy !req
604. it's not natural.Copy !req
605. - Oh, and you think
letting the crops dieCopy !req
606. and watching people die
is natural?Copy !req
607. 'Cause if you do—
- Don't argue
with Mother Nature.Copy !req
608. Use your head.Copy !req
609. There's always a solution
to a problem.Copy !req
610. - What can I do?
Why should I care?Copy !req
611. I mean, it's...Copy !req
612. it's their town
so it's their problem, right?Copy !req
613. I'm just passing through.Copy !req
614. A vagabond.Copy !req
615. A drifter!Copy !req
616. That's why I'm just gonna
&It;« vamos >».Copy !req
617. Hit the road, make like the wind
and blow.Copy !req
618. I can't... do that.Copy !req
619. I can't desert them.Copy !req
620. Wait a second.Copy !req
621. This is good,
this is intelligent.Copy !req
622. Here I am,
sitting with a beaver.Copy !req
623. And you're the one who can help!Copy !req
624. 'Cause... 'cause like...Copy !req
625. you're the head beaver, right?Copy !req
626. And you make dams.Copy !req
627. Right and so, for you,Copy !req
628. it's not so much like work,
but a way of life, right?Copy !req
629. Right so, considering that,Copy !req
630. how would you feel
about making some dams?Copy !req
631. You will?Copy !req
632. Oh, that is great!Copy !req
633. Thank you so much, Burt,Copy !req
634. you are one great beaver,
you really are!Copy !req
635. Oh, and tell the other beavers
they're great too.Copy !req
636. Oh, this is so exciting!Copy !req
637. I think I have to dance for joy.Copy !req
638. - This will plant Appleseed
six feet under.Copy !req
639. - What did you do that for,
boss?Copy !req
640. - You'll find out soon enough.Copy !req
641. - Why bother?Copy !req
642. There's no water.Copy !req
643. Why don't we just let my crops
die in peace?Copy !req
644. - Don't worry, I'm taking care
of the water situation.Copy !req
645. You got a new horse?Copy !req
646. - No, that's Larry's horse.Copy !req
647. - How do you know?Copy !req
648. - It's his brand.Copy !req
649. - Oh.Copy !req
650. Well, come on, boy,Copy !req
651. I'm taking you back to Larry.Copy !req
652. I bet he's sick with worry.Copy !req
653. It's not the smartest horse
in the world,Copy !req
654. but I'm sure that Larry
will be glad I brought him in.Copy !req
655. - Johnny, you're so thoughtful.Copy !req
656. - Larry. Is this your horse?Copy !req
657. - Yeah, that's my brand. Larry.Copy !req
658. - And why is it that
Mr. Appleseed now
has your horse?Copy !req
659. - I don't know.Copy !req
660. He stole it.
- I see!Copy !req
661. Mr. Appleseed, you are now
under arrest for horse stealing.Copy !req
662. - Uncle—
- You stay out of this!Copy !req
663. When I get through with you,
you won't have a pot to put on.Copy !req
664. Come on, let's go!Copy !req
665. Folks.Copy !req
666. Folks.Copy !req
667. It is my unfortunate duty
to inform youCopy !req
668. that our beloved
Johnny AppleseedCopy !req
669. is nothing more
than a common horse thief!Copy !req
670. - What? No!Copy !req
671. - I know, I know it's hard
to believe,Copy !req
672. but I have a very reliable
eye-witness.Copy !req
673. Larry.Copy !req
674. - What?Copy !req
675. Oh, that's right.Copy !req
676. He stole my horse.Copy !req
677. - This is absurd, I didn't—Copy !req
678. - I don't think that
these people are interested
in listening to a horse thief.Copy !req
679. Friends,Copy !req
680. I don't like to be the one
to say I told you so,Copy !req
681. but I told you so.Copy !req
682. The day that this dirty,
smelly creatureCopy !req
683. staggered into our town,Copy !req
684. mumbling to himself,Copy !req
685. I told you he was bad news.Copy !req
686. And when he started
filling your heads
with his crazy notionsCopy !req
687. of farming and growing things,Copy !req
688. I told you to ignore him.Copy !req
689. He promised you rich rewardsCopy !req
690. and you morons believed him.Copy !req
691. Now, thanks to him,Copy !req
692. your crops are wilting
and your orchards are drying.Copy !req
693. You see.Copy !req
694. This is when the expression
I told you so comes into play.Copy !req
695. - You didn't tell us
that the rain would stop!Copy !req
696. - Yeah, and that there
wouldn't be enough water!Copy !req
697. - I promise you, there is gonna
be enough water.Copy !req
698. Look, I've talked to the beaversCopy !req
699. and they've agreed to reroute
the river so it'll flow
right past here.Copy !req
700. - You talked to the beavers?Copy !req
701. - Yes! I spoke to them and—Copy !req
702. - Let's be serious.Copy !req
703. This man is nothing more
than a con artist,Copy !req
704. a horse thief and a nut.Copy !req
705. I don't think they like you.Copy !req
706. - You've got to think
of her feelings.Copy !req
707. I mean, she's home with the
puppies all day. You're out—Copy !req
708. - Hi, Johnny!Copy !req
709. - Jenny, what are you
doing here?Copy !req
710. You're gonna get into trouble.
Visiting hours are over.Copy !req
711. - I know, but I had
to talk to you.Copy !req
712. You have a minute?Copy !req
713. That's a really stupid question.Copy !req
714. Well, the thing is that
I saw my Uncle Jack today
for what he really is:Copy !req
715. a disgusting, evil,
manipulative, slimy dirt bag.Copy !req
716. - You mean rotten to the core.Copy !req
717. - Yes and I think the only way
you can get out of this messCopy !req
718. is just to kiss his boots,
beg for his forgivenessCopy !req
719. and admit that you were wrong
and he was right.Copy !req
720. - Uh-huh...Copy !req
721. Or you could help me escape.Copy !req
722. - Johnny, one of the things
I always loved about you is thatCopy !req
723. you marched to the beat
of a different drummer.Copy !req
724. But please, just for this once,
can't you play the game?Copy !req
725. - I'm sorry, I don't even know
the game.Copy !req
726. - But if we can get away
from Smithville,Copy !req
727. we can build our own life.
Together.Copy !req
728. You know, we can get married
and...Copy !req
729. settle down and
have a place of our own.Copy !req
730. - Jenny, I'm a rambling man.Copy !req
731. I've still got apples to plant,Copy !req
732. roads to travel,
animals to talk to.Copy !req
733. - But Johnny!Copy !req
734. I love you.Copy !req
735. Doesn't that mean anything?Copy !req
736. - Look...Copy !req
737. I don't know much about love.Copy !req
738. But I do know that you shouldn't
love a man like me.Copy !req
739. - Fine...Copy !req
740. Bye, Johnny.Copy !req
741. - Bye, Jenny.Copy !req
742. - Trial of Johnny Appleseed
will now come to order.Copy !req
743. Hang him!Copy !req
744. - Now, now, now!
As long as I am judge,Copy !req
745. this man will receive
a fair trial.Copy !req
746. Johnny Appleseed,Copy !req
747. you are accused of
the despicable crime
of horse stealing.Copy !req
748. As well as vagrancy,
jay-walking, litteringCopy !req
749. not to mention being the
weirdest walnut we've seen
in these parts in many a moon.Copy !req
750. How do you plead?
- Not guilty.Copy !req
751. - Alright, you're gonna
make this difficult.Copy !req
752. I'll call my first witness.
Larry.Copy !req
753. - What?Copy !req
754. - Will you take the stand?Copy !req
755. You promise tell truth,
whole truth, nothing truth,
so help me, God, you do.Copy !req
756. Now Larry.
- What?Copy !req
757. In your own words, state exactly
what happened.Copy !req
758. He stole
your horse...Copy !req
759. - He stole your horse!Copy !req
760. He stole yourhorse!Copy !req
761. He stole your horse!Copy !req
762. - Thank you, Larry.Copy !req
763. For that expert testimony.Copy !req
764. You may step down.Copy !req
765. Well, the court has heard
all the evidence.Copy !req
766. I will now pronounce a verdict.Copy !req
767. - Don't I get to speak?Copy !req
768. - Alright, alright,
but make it snappy.Copy !req
769. You've got a hanging to do here.Copy !req
770. - I just want to say...Copy !req
771. have you all gone crazy?Copy !req
772. - Huh!Copy !req
773. Talk about the pothead
calling the kettle black!Copy !req
774. - You people know I didn't steal
Larry's horse.Copy !req
775. I've never stolen anything
in my life.Copy !req
776. If I'm guilty of anything,
it's of being different.Copy !req
777. I mean, I admit I'm not like...Copy !req
778. everybody else.Copy !req
779. I'm an individual.Copy !req
780. And I refuse to answer
to anybody but myself.Copy !req
781. But is that a crime?Copy !req
782. It is to Jack Smith.Copy !req
783. 'Cause he can't tolerate
anything that he can't control.Copy !req
784. When you folks
learned about farmingCopy !req
785. and started
to be self-sufficient,Copy !req
786. Jack Smith lost control
over you.Copy !req
787. - Yeah.
- It's true.Copy !req
788. - And if I in anyway
am responsible for that,Copy !req
789. then at least,
I can die a proud man.Copy !req
790. - People, people!Copy !req
791. People, come on now!Copy !req
792. You're listening to a man
who talks to beavers!Copy !req
793. Now let's wrap this up.Copy !req
794. I find you guilty!Copy !req
795. You'll hang by your neck
till you're dead.Copy !req
796. Knock the stool out
from under him.Copy !req
797. Let's see some twitching here.Copy !req
798. - Good shooting, Jenny!Copy !req
799. - Jenny, you don't know
how great it is to see you.Copy !req
800. - Yeah, it'll give you the
opportunity of saying goodbye.Copy !req
801. - You say goodbye, I say hello.Copy !req
802. - What's this doing here?Copy !req
803. - I thought you might like to
see some of your old friends.Copy !req
804. - What is that?Copy !req
805. - The river!Copy !req
806. - The creep bed' full,
we're saved!Copy !req
807. - Thanks Johnny, for that!Copy !req
808. - Don't thank me,
thank the beavers!Copy !req
809. So,
thanks to Burt the BeaverCopy !req
810. and all his furry
flat-tailed friends,Copy !req
811. Johnny was able to save
the settlement.Copy !req
812. And thanks to Jenny,
Johnny was saved.Copy !req
813. - Oh, Johnny, I'm glad you
decided to stay a little longer.Copy !req
814. - I'm glad that I got to live
a little longer.Copy !req
815. Are you hungry?
- Starving.Copy !req
816. What did you bring?Copy !req
817. - Apples.Copy !req
818. Oh, after you.Copy !req
819. - Well, my dearest
rambling man,Copy !req
820. I'll be sad to see you go.Copy !req
821. - Well, I've been thinking
about what you said and...Copy !req
822. maybe I should plant my roots
and settle down.Copy !req
823. You know, we could get marriedCopy !req
824. and build a houseCopy !req
