cargo space ready to leave tomorrow night oh that's not possible not possible huh i was told that you dealt in this type of transaction obviously i've uh been misinformed uh what do you need the ship for i dear sir if it were possible for me to tell you of my plans it would be just as impossible to pay you amply for your discretion and how much is that 5 thousand dollars in gold only if our little transaction is kept completely out of the records and i must choose the crew the master of the ship a captain higgins can be found at this very moment at the hook and net a one-eyed brigand of dubious

uh sure tim i've just been so worried i mean the san francisco papers are full of this talk about kidnapping and manhunt i wasn't kidnapped i ran away what's its name well that's morris the world's laziest dog he likes you how can you tell well he moved his tail morris doesn't believe in overdoing oh well tim you certainly paid that visit a lot sooner than i expected uh well actually we we we've come to ask you favor but with your moving and all that it's impossible now first things first i think well what what is all this i hear about you being fired oh mayor stokes sacked me for trying to help the children the school's a disgrace a fire hazard charity oh uh tim mr bailey this is my friend bob shepard how do you do so how do you do how are you he led the fight for financing a new school but when the money came in mayor stokes took it and built a fancy city hall oh yes you can always put your trust in couch well what are the people doing about this they're angry very angry angry enough to vote him out no no he's the only banker in town so that means most everybody owes him money and he's got the city council buffaloed now if bob were mayor this would be a wonderful little town but the odds against him beating stokes are a thousand to one we really just don't know what to do anymore oh tim what what was that favor you were talking about oh well you see i'm i'm afraid that we're going to have to take care of your business first before i can ask it um uh what what town would you say is closest to green bush that's uh competing for the farm trade would be pleasantville our traditional rival pleasantville i i think that you would best remove yourself bodily from these premises of this township until i further require your services a doctor sinclair i shall be awaiting your word dr dunning yes yes nice to have met you man and uh your servant sir yes the doctor isn't claire yes of course dr dunning at your service man [Music] what am i supposed to be doing out here dr dunny i don't understand any of this just shoot anything i tell you to when i tell you to yes sir are you ready yes all right now [Music] good day good day my name is jake calvin stokes i'm the mayor of greenbush oh yeah well how do you do mr mayor how do you do very pleased to meet you delighted my name is dunning sir dr tj dunny yeah uh well as a son would you take another photograph of that fine bank building from the corner over there oh yes sir i think [Applause] [Music] i see you taking pictures uh yes yes i require the pictures for a state survey of school building sites i'm on my way to pleasantville uh uh pleasantville did you say yeah dr sinclair and i have been uh chosen by the governor to purchase 1 000 acres of land for the site of a new state university sir the sun would would you uh photograph down below there the hotel in each building on each side of it thank you very much well now i must admit that pleasantville does have a certain old-fashioned charm but don't you think that uh the university of an upcoming state like ours uh be better located in a progressive modern community like greenbush [Applause] this is charming john down i tell you what why don't you stay on for a few more days extend your stay well three more days get to know our town have dinner with me and my associates yes perhaps perhaps we can let's see well that appears to be just about the end of main street oh we have a great deal more over on the other side of the tracks yes that reminds me mr mayor yes yes there is one thing you can do for me anything yeah well i will require a photograph of the school and i should like to talk to the teacher well i'm afraid our teacher is no longer with us the school's been temporarily suspended suspended oh one i'm afraid that's a catastrophe sir well no would you see dr sinclair he see places great store in local schools and local teachers well perhaps i can convince this pringle to reconsider well i think that would be a good idea i'm almost certain that i can't mess yeah well i would suggest you do it before dr sinclair arrives i say you'll stay there i will yes we can all split [Music] tim donovan i don't know what you did to the mayor but he offered me my job back with a raise what did you tell him i told him i'd take it now i i have got to get this message immediately out to mr bailey and i don't want to leave town right now i'll take it to him uncle tim will you do that for me jamie sure oh that's no no no no come on get your jacket come on okay he probably gets lonely after all by himself yes you're right it probably does yeah you got to sleep in okay all right look at your hand all right well that's it see you later uncle tim bye charity bye-bye you are sounding more and more like a father every day ah she's a grand girl she is but nothing can be settled without grace and that's why we're here to ask a favor of you well i owe you one tim i want you to go to san francisco and bring grace back here all right now now you're going to have to figure out a way to get around nook henry don't you worry about uncle henry i'm not tim donovan's sister for nothing [Music] [Applause] in nothing good about it sir i see nothing good about it tearing me away from the pleasant people of pleasantville in order to come to this fly bitten wave station dr singh i don't see anything good about it at all dr sinclair uh this is mayor stokes hello uh stokes ah welcome to our fair town i see nothing fair about green tree sir on the contrary bush doctor what bush uh i suppose there will be a hotel for me at uh bush town one of them i'll be the judge of that right after lunch and sir i'll expect to meet with you see the school the good doctor dunning told me about your field of learning i'm sure that you're down as a veritable citadel of higher education yes yes it is yes [Music] don't scratch [Music] dr sinclair seems to like the property but he's uh he's a very difficult man oh yeah he's all of that as i mentioned earlier he criticized his hotel rooms being the smallest slum he'd ever seen well i'd be delighted to have him here if i thought it would help oh no no that won't be necessary no unless you'd want him oh no no no no but i wouldn't do something about that school mr mayor and quickly it's a dreadful fire trap sir dreadful everything depends on it sir everything we realize that doctor dunning what do you suggest we do burn it well then we'd have no school oh what there is that fine new building out in the edge of town the new city hall absurd my new desk oh we spent hundreds
