| [00:00.00] | FLOYD: Hey Homer? What's pink and green and flies all over? |
| [00:06.97] | Homer? Homer, are you there, buddy? |
| [00:10.76] | HOMER: What's made a' stone |
| [00:13.62] | But's soft like a pillow? |
| [00:15.62] | FLOYD: That's not what I asked you! |
| [00:17.03] | What's pink and green an' flies all over? |
| [00:21.63] | HOMER: What's made a' stone |
| [00:22.82] | But is soft like a pillow? |
| [00:24.24] | Where you can lay on top |
| [00:25.84] | Or sink down in it? |
| [00:27.34] | Where you can git underneath |
| [00:28.97] | But it don't crush you |
| [00:30.34] | |
| [00:30.94] | Come on, think now |
| [00:33.37] | You better think now, Floyd |
| [00:35.85] | Give it some thought now |
| [00:38.12] | It ain't hard! |
| [00:40.75] | You know; I know you know |
| [00:44.16] | I'm a-harkenin' back to a time ago |
| [00:47.99] | When a day wasn't done |
| [00:49.19] | If we didn't raise hell |
| [00:50.66] | And the sun put us under a magic spell |
| [00:56.28] | Huh? |
| [00:57.54] | You're a dumb-ass, you know that? |
| [00:58.64] | You must be the dumbest-ass... |
| [00:59.74] | FLOYD: Shut up! I got it |
| [01:00.87] | HOMER: Well? |
| [01:01.34] | FLOYD: Sand! |
| [01:02.37] | HOMER: Sorry |
| [01:03.41] | FLOYD: But it's made a' stone and soft like a feather, |
| [01:05.22] | you kin lay on top or sink down in it— |
| [01:06.57] | HOMER: Yeah, but that ain't this riddle and you ain't got it yet |
| [01:08.54] | So keep thinkin', an use yer brain this time |
| [01:11.88] | What's made a' stone |
| [01:13.71] | But's soft like a pillow? |
| [01:15.77] | FLOYD: I done' tol' you already, Homer. |
| [01:17.02] | I said 'sand', like the Great Sand Cave |
| [01:19.72] | HOMER: An' I said, 'Sorry' |
| [01:21.33] | What's made a' stone |
| [01:22.86] | But is soft like a pillow? |
| [01:24.33] | Where you kin float on top |
| [01:26.06] | Or dive down in it? |
| [01:27.43] | Where you kin sink underneath |
| [01:29.23] | But it don't crush you? |
| [01:30.97] | |
| [01:31.07] | Come on, think now |
| [01:33.54] | You better think now, Floyd |
| [01:35.81] | Give it some thought, now |
| [01:38.57] | It' ain't hard! |
| [01:41.41] | You know; I know you know |
| [01:44.22] | I'm a-harkenin' back to a time ago |
| [01:48.35] | When you'd say to me |
| [01:49.35] | "Homer, are you ready, are you set?" |
| [01:51.02] | An' I'd say to you |
| [01:51.91] | "Floyd, are you ready to git wet?" |
| [01:57.43] | |
| [01:57.68] | FLOYD: I know! |
| [02:03.14] | What's soft jes' like a pillow |
| [02:04.84] | Made a' rock, carved in stone? |
| [02:06.61] | The answer to the riddle surely is the quarry! |
| [02:10.24] | BOTH: The quarry! |
| [02:19.48] | FLOYD: The sun beatin' down |
| [02:21.20] | On our faces all blisterin' hot, Homer |
| [02:28.71] | We'd run off alone |
| [02:30.51] | To our own secret spot, Homer |
| [02:38.00] | Under the shade |
| [02:39.88] | 'Side our ol' fishin' hole |
| [02:42.60] | We'd each have some worms |
| [02:44.71] | An' an ol' fishin' pole |
| [02:49.58] | |
| [02:52.25] | HOMER: With school far away |
| [02:54.29] | Like it weren't there at all, Floyd |
| [03:01.77] | We'd hook for a day |
| [03:04.02] | And we'd sure as hell have us a ball, Floyd |
| [03:11.48] | Go for a swim |
| [03:13.34] | Jes' to cool off our hide; |
| [03:16.07] | Float on top |
| [03:18.11] | With the sky open wide |
| [03:23.91] | FLOYD: All right, okay— I got one fer you |
| [03:26.51] | What's got a trunk an' a tail an' fifty limbs? |
| [03:29.99] | HOMER: Shh, I'm concentratin' on diggin', Floyd |
| [03:31.20] | FLOYD: You ain't concentratin', you fibber. |
| [03:32.49] | You jes' a wee bit slow in the head, |
| [03:33.93] | jes' like you always was... |
| [03:35.02] | A wee bit slow |
| [03:36.19] | |
| [03:36.40] | What's got a trunk an' a tail an' fifty limbs? |
| [03:39.48] | That you kin ride all day |
| [03:40.90] | But you don't go nowhere |
| [03:42.22] | Only front to bark, to an' fro? |
| [03:46.20] | Come on think now |
| [03:48.14] | You better think now, Homer |
| [03:50.71] | Give it some thought now |
| [03:52.84] | It ain't hard! |
| [03:56.05] | You know; I know you know |
| [03:59.40] | I'm a-harkenin' back to a time ago |
| [04:03.36] | When a day didn't pass |
| [04:04.65] | When you couldn't catch us tryin' |
| [04:06.02] | To ride it high, till it felt like flyin' |
| [04:12.13] | |
| [04:12.70] | HOMER: I know! |
| [04:18.17] | The answer to the riddle— |
| [04:19.34] | Trunk an' a tail an' fifty limbs! |
| [04:21.17] | The answer to the riddle |
| [04:22.82] | Surely is our swing tree! |
| [04:25.14] | BOTH: The swing tree! |
| [04:33.45] | |
| [04:34.02] | HOMER: We'd shimmy on up |
| [04:35.92] | Like an Indian huntin' a squirrel, Floyd |
| [04:38.82] | FLOYD: Da, da, dacky dicky da |
| [04:41.26] | Da, da, dacky dicky dicka |
| [04:43.45] | HOMER: Up to the crook |
| [04:45.23] | Where we could look down on the world, Floyd |
| [04:48.02] | FLOYD: Da, da, dacky dicky da |
| [04:50.37] | Da, da, dacky dicky dicka |
| [04:52.74] | HOMER: Out on a limb |
| [04:54.48] | Where that ol' rope was hung |
| [04:57.68] | High 'bove the water |
| [04:59.68] | Waiting to be swung |
| [05:02.94] | FLOYD: Da, da, dacky dicky da |
| [05:04.72] | BOTH: Da, da, dacky dicky dicka |
| [05:06.89] | Slide down the rope |
| [05:08.94] | An' my legs start to pump, Homer (Floyd) |
| [05:12.42] | HOMER: Da, da, dacky dicky da |
| [05:14.09] | FLOYD: Da, da, dacky dicky dicka |
| [05:16.17] | BOTH: My heart starts to pound |
| [05:18.26] | An' my head starts to thump Homer (Floyd) |
| [05:22.37] | FLOYD: Da, da, dacky dicky, da |
| [05:24.25] | HOMER: Da, da, dacky dicky dicka |
| [05:26.00] | BOTH: Higher an' higher I'm swingin' along |
| [05:30.64] | We'd get to singin' |
| [05:32.94] | That ol' swingin' song! |
| [05:37.92] | Da, da, dacky dicky dicka da... |
| [05:37.50] | |
| [05:57.34] | FLOYD: An' when I don't weigh nothin' |
| [05:59.80] | Light as air, I let go |
| [06:02.11] | Spinnin' off an' flippin' over; |
| [06:04.71] | All that water far below |
| [06:07.15] | And I open up for my swan dive |
| [06:11.82] | My spread eagle |
| [06:14.09] | My Jesus-on-the-cross! |
| [06:17.22] | For thine is the kingdom |
| [06:19.40] | And the power |
| [06:20.66] | And the glory |
| [06:21.99] | Forever an' ever |
| [06:24.30] | Through the flashing sun |
| [06:26.70] | Ever and ever |
| [06:28.40] | Over and over... |
| [06:31.14] | Fallin' into that black water... |
| [06:35.67] | An' that rock, stickin' up an' comin' at my face |
| [06:39.08] | That cold, black grave... |
| [06:41.51] | Cold grave... |
| [06:43.65] | Grave... |
| [06:44.20] | |
| [06:44.48] | HOMER: Floyd? Floyd, come on back now... |
| [06:46.92] | It's me, buddy, come to yer rescue. |
| [06:48.92] | Now you jes' lie there and rest, |
| [06:51.19] | 'cause I'm about to git you free |
| [06:53.88] | Now here's the final riddle, Floyd. |
| [06:55.91] | See if you kin answer me this: |
| [06:57.33] | What's strong as a bull |
| [06:58.85] | Smart as a fox? |
| [06:59.93] | Quick as a hare |
| [07:01.20] | An' stubborn as a mule |
| [07:02.54] | Kin make like a snake hrough the tiniest hole |
| [07:04.94] | Get hung up for days an' turn out fine? |
| [07:07.44] | Look-ee here, now |
| [07:09.51] | There ain't no two ways about it |
| [07:12.04] | You don't have to worry at all |
| [07:14.81] | We're almost there! |
| [07:17.65] | You know; I know you know |
| [07:20.48] | I'm a-harkenin' back to a time ago |
| [07:23.66] | When a day didn't end, that we didn't help each other |
| [07:26.97] | Kinda like a friend an' kinda like a brother |
| [07:29.34] | And it don't matter none, |
| [07:30.82] | if it's me or if it's you; |
| [07:32.10] | There ain't no hole that we can't pull through! |
| [07:37.54] | |
| [07:39.60] | FLOYD: I know! |
| [07:42.87] | HOMER: Hot damn! |
| [07:44.41] | FLOYD: Yes sir! |
| [07:45.54] | HOMER: Oo-ee! |
| [07:46.21] | FLOYD: It's good to see you Homer! |
| [07:47.31] | HOMER: We better clean you up |
| [07:48.68] | Before they take your picture! |
| [07:50.68] | FLOYD: You's jes' as ugly as you ever was! |
| [07:52.65] | What took you so damn long? |
| [07:54.40] | Takin' too much like you always are |
| [07:59.57] | HOMER: What's black an' fast an' shiny? |
| [08:01.22] | FLOYD: Fast enough to make a panther squall? |
| [08:03.03] | HOMER: Who's gonna be there in it? |
| [08:04.34] | FLOYD: Lookin' fine an' sittin' tall! |
| [08:06.20] | HOMER: Straight to Louisville, who will tear? |
| [08:07.80] | FLOYD: Far away from the toil an' care |
| [08:09.63] | HOMER: With money to burn |
| [08:10.37] | FLOYD: On a hell of a spree |
| [08:11.22] | HOMER: The devil to pay? |
| [08:12.00] | BOTH: It's plain to see; |
| [08:14.24] | That's an easy one— |
| [08:17.24] | That's us! |
| [00:00.00] | FLOYD: Hey Homer? What' s pink and green and flies all over? |
