The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Tom!

Oh, Tom!

Hey, Jim!

Whee!

Drat that boy.

He's always late.

I declare, you'd never know that Tom and sid

was even half-brothers, would you?

If he'd learned his Bible verses

for Sunday school,

he might be a better boy.

We won't wait for him. Sit down and eat.

Fetch the cake.

Let me help you with it, cousin Mary.

Miss Polly! Oh, miss Polly!

Well, what is it, Jim?

Does you want this wood or this wood?

Oh, any wood, Jim.

Maybe this wood is better than this wood!

Oh, all right.

Heh!

Land of goshen,

your hair looks like a hoorah's nest.

Did you wash your hands good?

Mmm. Gave yourself a lick and a promise,

I'll be bound worthy.

Eat your supper before it gets cold.

Lord, we thank thee for our daily bread. Amen.

Bread, cousin Mary, please.

Tom, it was powerful warm

in school today, wasn't it?

Yessum.

Hmm.

Didn't you want to go swimming, Tom?

No. Well, not very much.

But you're not too warm now, though, are you?

Some of us stuck our heads under the pump.

Mine's damp yet, see?

Yes.

If you only pumped water on your head,

you didn't have to undo your shirt collar

where I sewed it, did you?

Hmm. Well, I was sure you'd played hooky

from school and gone swimming.

Didn't you sew his collar

with white thread, aunt Polly?

Yes, I did.

That thread's black.

Tom!

Huh!

Ouch! It could turn black, couldn't it?

In the sun?

Well, you're enough

to give a Saint the conniptions.

Yessum.

Now, you march straight up to bed and right now.

Ow!

Play hooky on Friday,

whitewash on Saturday!

I would, aunt Polly,

but there ain't any whitewash.

Oh, yes, there is.

I mixed 3 whole bucketfuls myself.

That whole great big fence?

Every inch of it.

And you don't want any streaks in it,

do you, aunt Polly?

Nary a one.

I'll tell the boys you can't go swimming

'cause you gotta whitewash the old fence.

Bye, Tom.

Aunt Polly!

Say, Jim...

I'll fetch the water if you'll whitewash.

I can't, master Tom!

Miss Polly told me to go along and tend to my own business.

And if I don't, she'd snatch the head off of me.

She? Huh!

She never licks anybody.

Only whacks them over the head with a thimble.

Like this.

Ouch!

Excuse me, master Tom.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Jim, I'll tell you what I'll do.

If you'll whitewash some,

I'll show you my short toe.

Let me see.

Ow!

Clear the river!

I'm the steamboat big Missouri.

Bound for St. Louis from New Orleans.

Let her go! Full steam ahead!

Stop her!

I'm going a- swimming, I am.

But of course, you'd rather work.

What do you call work?

Why, ain't that work?

Well, all I know is it suits Tom Sawyer.

Say, let me whitewash a little.

Think I'd let a dude whitewash?

Oh, come on now.

I'd let you if you was me.

No. If it were the inside,

I wouldn't mind.

And aunt Polly wouldn't.

But she's awful particular about the outside.

Aw, shucks.

I'd be careful.

I'll give you the rest of my apple.

Well, here- no. I'm a-feared.

And I'll give you this, too.

Ain't that a humdinger.

What is it?

It's a knob off a brass doorknocker.

All my life I wanted a knob off a brass doorknocker.

Well...

Here.

Quick, before I change my mind.

Don't tell aunt Polly.

I ain't seen a thing, master Tom.

Hey, aunt Polly!

Aunt Polly!

This aunt Polly that.

Aunt Polly here, aunt Polly there.

Well, what's the matter now?

Can't you tend to work and leave a body in peace?

May I go now, aunt Polly?

How much have you done?

It's all done. 3 coats, too.

Now, see here, Tom,

don't you lie to me. I can't bear it.

Well, look.

Huh.

Well, I never!

There's no getting 'round it.

You can work when you have a mind to.

Well, run along and play.

Virtue is its own reward as the good book says.

Aunt Polly!

Ohh!

Aunt Polly!

Oh, my sakes alive!

Ohh! Ohh!

There, don't you worry, Sidney, dear.

You can put on your Sunday suit.

Wait till I get my hands

on that blabberskite when he comes home.

Go on. Oh, dear.

Girl: Yoo-hoo!

Hello, Amy.

Hello, Tom...

Dear, I got something for you.

Where have you been such a long time?

I haven't seen you since we got engaged.

I had the chicken pox.

You haven't got it now, have you?

No, silly.

Think ma-ma would let me out

if I wasn't all cured?

Who's moving in across the way?

I heard ma-ma say it was the new judge.

Oh, that's their silly little girl.

She's awful!

Ma sent me over to play with her, but I wouldn't.

She's too ugly.

Nobody round here's going to like her.

Mmm. Say, Amy?

Are you sure you got over the chicken pox?

Yes.

Certain sure?

Why, yes. What's the matter?

You look awful peaked.

I do?

What are those 2 pink spots on your cheek?

Pink spots? Where?

Of course, maybe it's only poison Ivy.

Yes. Maybe it is.

But I ain't been out of the house.

Oh!

Ma! Ma!

Uhh!

Becky! Becky!

Yes, mama?

Uhh!

Tom's got a girl, Tom's got a girl

aunt Polly!

Hey, Ben!

Wanna buy your frog back?

Whatcha want for her?

Bible tickets.

6 blues and 6 yellers.

You're crazy.

Give you 4 blues and 5 yellers.

Hand them over.

Ohh.

And you see, judge,

whenever one of our pupils learns

2 verses of scripture,

he or she receives a blue ticket.
