Gold Rush The

en
00:01:05 In the great Gold Rush, Alaska
00:01:09 the ruthless siren
00:01:11 beckoning thousands
00:01:13 Beckoning thousands
00:01:15 Chilkoot Pass was the great barrier
00:01:18 Over this Pass men faced
00:01:21 Many lost their lives.
00:01:24 others lost courage
00:01:26 But the brave went on.
00:01:31 Far into the icy north,
00:01:34 came an undaunted lone prospector.
00:02:23 And somewhere in that nowhere
00:02:32 With cheerful optimism
00:02:36 then stopped, stepped,
00:02:54 "Now let me see,"
00:02:56 "Before I know where I am,
00:03:39 There in that frozen wilderness
00:03:41 and a lone voice shrieked
00:03:44 "Eureka! I've found it,
00:03:54 But the elements laughed,
00:04:01 In that raging nowhere
00:04:04 and another lone man,
00:04:06 an unmitigated,
00:04:44 Out of the lashing storm
00:04:48 to find shelter and perhaps
00:05:03 There he sat,
00:05:04 as the icy wind howled
00:05:39 "Come here," said Larson.
00:05:41 "What are you doing?"
00:05:43 "Eating, obviously."
00:05:45 "Get out."
00:05:55 "Go on!"
00:05:58 "Get out!"
00:06:08 The wind also was giving
00:06:56 Big Jim was the noble type.
00:06:59 Oh, how he loved to suffer.
00:07:26 "Get out," said Black Larson.
00:07:27 "Or I'll fill you both
00:07:37 "Now then,
00:07:40 "Out!"
00:07:42 That kind of noise
00:08:35 "I'll stay right here, understand?"
00:08:37 "Right here," said Big Jim.
00:08:40 "Yes, sir, he'll stay right here,"
00:08:51 "Understand? We stay right here."
00:08:59 And stay they did,
00:09:01 for days and nights.
00:09:03 Two men walked and never talked,
00:09:14 "I must have food!" yelled Big Jim.
00:09:18 "I must have food!"
00:09:57 "What are you eating?"
00:10:00 "Nothing."
00:10:01 "Open your mouth!"
00:10:14 "Liar! It's that candle."
00:10:16 "That?" said the Little Fellow.
00:10:23 "If I thought you were holding out
00:10:55 "One of us must brave that storm,
00:11:01 "Come here, the pair of you."
00:11:04 "We'll cut the cards
00:11:23 "You're the man," said Jim.
00:11:32 "Goodbye, good luck."
00:11:33 "Don't forget
00:12:00 Somewhere in that nowhere,
00:13:03 Desperate with hunger
00:13:07 Nevertheless there was something
00:13:20 "Not quite done yet,
00:13:22 "Come on, come on," said Big Jim.
00:15:57 After scouring the country for food,
00:16:00 the Little Fellow had to admit
00:16:02 not even a field mouse.
00:16:13 From the pangs of hunger,
00:16:15 Big Jim was becoming delirious,
00:16:17 In fact he was a pain in the neck.
00:16:19 "Food, food!" he thundered.
00:16:24 "I can put another shoe in the pot."
00:16:26 "No, no, anything but that!"
00:16:31 Poor Jim, he couldn't take it.
00:17:23 "What's the matter?"
00:17:25 "I thought you were a chicken."
00:17:35 "Well, build up the fire,"
00:18:00 "What's the matter with you?"
00:18:03 "Come, my pretty bird,"
00:18:05 "Don't be childish."
00:18:18 "Hey, quit it.
00:18:23 "You!" said Jim.
00:18:26 "I'm sorry. I must be crazy."
00:18:28 "You're telling me,"
00:18:34 "You go inside. I'll take the gun
00:19:05 Chicken or no chicken,
00:19:07 the Little Fellow looks appetizing
00:21:49 Meanwhile Black Larson stumbled
00:22:05 Then came the parting of the ways,
00:22:07 Big Jim to his mine,
00:22:11 "Goodbye," said the Little Fellow.
00:22:12 "It's been a great pleasure
00:22:30 Treachery awaited Big Jim
00:22:48 Big Jim looked deep into the eyes
00:22:50 of Black Larson
00:22:52 and saw there the soul of a skunk.
00:23:15 Caught in a maelstrom
00:23:17 Black Larson swept on
00:23:41 And out of a dream
00:23:45 And humanity warmed it with living,
00:23:53 Georgia.
00:24:08 Jack was a ladies' man.
00:24:11 Georgia was quick and impulsive,
00:24:13 proud and independent.
00:24:30 In the evening Georgia worked
00:24:53 Jack had lots of appeal for Georgia.
00:24:55 Perhaps that's why she resented him.
00:25:25 Out of the night
00:25:27 towards the dancehall,
00:25:30 that retreat of lost dreams.
00:27:18 "Georgia,
00:27:20 "I believe he really likes you,"
00:27:23 "He likes everybody,"
00:27:25 "I'm bored with this place,"
00:27:28 "I'd give it all up if I could find
00:27:35 "Don't worry,
00:27:39 Then she turned
00:27:41 and looked and looked
00:27:44 and looked.
00:29:15 "Kinda fresh, ain't ya?"
00:29:17 "Get down off that high horse."
00:29:18 "Me and you are gonna dance."
00:29:21 "Hey there, pan out a tune."
00:29:27 "Just a moment,
00:29:30 "I beg your pardon," said Georgia.
00:29:32 To show her utter contempt for Jack,
00:29:33 she picked out the most deplorable
00:29:37 "Hey you, come here."
00:29:42 "Yes, you. Do you want to dance?"
00:29:48 "You see, I'm very particular
00:32:25 And there he stood,
00:32:28 her sanctuary.
00:33:08 "If you wanna make a hit
00:33:10 "you should put your hat
00:33:15 "Take that you... Ouch!"
00:33:27 "Huh! Very good."
00:33:29 "Didn't know me own strength,"
00:33:56 Hank Curtis' cabin was
00:34:00 Hank was a mining engineer
00:34:02 and occasionally went
00:34:04 into the Far North.
00:34:05 Hank was kind and human,
00:34:07 and our hero cold and hungry,
00:34:08 and the beans smelled good
00:34:11 So the Little Fellow
00:35:57 Big Jim recovered from the blow
00:36:00 but lost his memory.
00:36:19 Hank's partner arrives.
00:36:22 Both are ready to leave
00:36:24 Hank informs his partner
00:36:26 is to look after the cabin
00:36:33 "Goodbye," said Hank.
00:37:03 Since that night in the dancehall
00:37:07 but an incident
00:38:01 There she stood,
00:38:04 filling his soul
00:38:06 for which he was so ill-fitted.
00:38:08 As she introduced her friends,
00:38:25 As they warmed up by the stove,
00:39:05 And in that cabin
00:39:07 his love for Georgia.
00:39:09 And the girls giggled and laughed,
00:39:11 perhaps in order to hide their pity.
00:39:13 For in the world of the dancehall
00:39:16 to reveal their hearts.
00:39:17 And so they thought
00:39:26 There in the gloaming they sat,
00:39:28 their faces alight with mischief,
00:39:31 but all the while
00:39:56 And so she fooled and flirted
00:39:59 He knew she was fooling,
00:40:02 For she was near him,
00:40:04 smiling at him.
00:40:15 "Nice place you have here,"
00:40:17 "I hope you will invite us again."
00:40:19 What if she were fooling?
00:40:21 He was enjoying
00:40:23 And the lady was enjoying
00:40:49 And now she was leaving.
00:40:50 The light of her loveliness
00:40:52 And he would be left
00:40:54 to return to his bleak,
00:40:57 "Pardon me,"
00:40:58 "But, uh..."
00:41:03 "Would you really like
00:41:05 "Of course," said Georgia.
00:41:08 "We'll come for dinner
00:41:10 "Very well," said Georgia.
00:41:11 "We'll come to dinner
00:42:12 Of course at that moment
00:42:34 For the next few days the Little
00:42:37 in order to buy
00:44:02 The eve of a new year.
00:46:17 And there was Georgia, caressing him
00:46:21 And the girls called for a speech.
00:46:23 But he was too happy to speak.
00:46:25 All that mattered
00:46:28 So he muttered and stuttered
00:46:31 "I can't make a speech
00:46:33 And a dance he did, with the rolls.
00:48:43 Should auld acquaintance be forgot
00:48:48 And never brought to mind
00:48:54 Should auld acquaintance be forgot
00:48:59 And days of auld lang syne
00:49:05 For auld lang syne
00:49:11 For auld lang...
00:50:02 In the midst of all their revelry
00:50:04 of a promise crept
00:50:08 "Let's go up and visit
00:50:48 "We'll have some fun
00:50:49 "We'll send Georgia in first,
00:51:46 "Oh, forget it," said Jack.
00:51:47 "How about giving me
00:52:11 A day or so later
00:52:13 Big Jim tried to convince
00:52:15 that he had a mountain of gold.
00:52:21 "Where is this place?" they said.
00:52:23 But Big Jim's memory
00:52:25 All he knew was
00:52:35 "The cabin, that's it!"
00:52:37 "f I could find my way to the cabin
00:52:41 "But I can't remember."
00:52:58 "Hey!" said Jack,
00:53:01 The Little Fellow knew otherwise.
00:53:02 How dare that cad mention
00:53:05 For two pins
00:53:07 However being a little underweight
00:53:24 But it was true.
00:53:26 Georgia had written him a letter.
00:53:48 And as he went looking for Georgia,
00:53:59 "You, you!" said Big Jim.
00:54:05 "You! The very man
00:54:09 "The cabin, the cabin! Where is it?"
00:54:11 "Answer me, I say!"
00:54:13 "Can't you speak, man? Tell me!"
00:54:16 "Where's the cabin? Where is it?"
00:54:19 "At last I shall find
00:54:21 "To your feet man, quick!"
00:54:23 "You're coming with me!"
00:54:25 "Take me to the cabin
00:54:31 "Georgia! Just a moment,"
00:54:41 "Georgia, you don't have to explain.
00:54:44 "I love you.
00:54:46 "I'm going away, and when I return,"
00:54:48 "I shall come back."
00:55:00 Exhausted and footweary,
00:55:08 "Ah!" said Big Jim,
00:55:10 "Bring in the eats and tomorrow
00:55:14 "Here, take a swig of this.
00:55:52 "My, this is a heavy lamb chop,"
00:56:56 Then fate - it's always fate -
00:56:58 and again the elements laughed,
00:57:01 but through it all
00:57:24 Then came the dawn.
00:57:32 The Little Fellow awoke,
00:57:33 blissfully ignorant
00:57:36 but feeling definitely conscious
00:57:55 "Oh well, may as well tidy up
00:58:22 "This is the worst liver attack
00:58:38 "Feel that rocking?"
00:58:39 "It's the stomach."
00:59:30 "It's not the stomach."
00:59:45 "Let's go to the other side."
00:59:47 "We'll see how far it
01:00:12 "Something
01:00:17 "I'll go outside
01:01:11 "Now," said Big Jim,
01:01:13 "Take it easy, don't move,
01:01:20 "I said don't breathe, stupid."
01:01:27 "You can be most annoying
01:01:33 "If you'll only be cool, be calm,"
01:01:35 "We have nothing to worry about."
01:01:51 "Now show a little character!
01:01:59 "Now listen,
01:02:02 "Hold your hands like this,
01:02:29 "You see what I mean?"
01:02:31 "Your mind is chaotic.
01:02:33 "You have no control."
01:02:54 And Big Jim discovered his claim!
01:03:33 "Now we shall be rich," said Jim.
01:03:35 "We shall be millionaires!"
01:03:37 And so they were.
01:04:00 Now they were homeward bound
01:04:02 and they were leaving the hardship
01:04:05 to live in the land
01:04:06 To live, laugh and indulge themselves
01:04:09 They were famous,
01:04:19 In their cabin deluxe
01:04:20 they were welcomed
01:04:40 The reporter wanted to write
01:04:43 "From Rags to Riches",
01:04:58 And Big Jim was manicured.
01:05:00 "Not the nails," said he,
01:05:05 The reporter thought of a good idea,
01:05:07 to have the Little Fellow pose
01:05:09 It would make a human story.
01:05:20 Georgia...
01:05:33 There she was in the steerage.
01:05:36 Georgia overheard the officer say
01:07:08 "You!" said Georgia.
01:07:09 "I thought I'd never see you again."
01:07:12 And then she mistook him
01:07:29 The officer was going
01:07:31 But Georgia pleaded for him
01:07:43 "Heck!" said the Captain.
01:07:45 "That's Big Jim's partner,
01:07:50 Then of course there were apologies.
01:07:53 The Little Fellow
01:07:55 James, the valet, was told
01:08:07 "Pardon me," said the reporter,
01:08:11 "Buzz buzz buzz!"
01:08:13 "Oh, you don't say!
01:08:15 "This will make a great story,
01:08:20 And so it was.
01:08:21 A happy ending.
