a fellow can snuff a life out if you would a candle. Not by the demonstration, okay? Plenty of heart is investigating the murder. Chief Inspector Taylor is in his office and he's discussing the situation with his assistant, Sergeant... Well, this blowgop was killed with a shovel for Lord Lebanon. His name was William Studd. He was returning from a fancy dress ball and was strangled on the way. Nobody hated him and there's no cues to who killed him. Fancy dress ball, eh? What was he wearing? Aha! He was dressed in Indian clothes, Tanner. And that's where my theory comes in. It was Dr. Amisham who found the chauffeur at two o'clock in the morning. Now what was Dr. Amisham doing at two in the morning in the priory field? Yes, your theory, Sergeant. Suppose you tell me. Well... Chief Constable Tanner, Lord Lebanon? Right. Lord Lebanon is outside. Go bring him in. I hope I'm not an awful nuisance. No, not at all, Lord Lebanon. I'm Chief Inspector Tanner. What can I do for you? Well, Inspector Tanner, the whole thing is very vulgar and when one's mother's involved... well, everything was all right while my father was alive, shocking him, really. Never left his room for 15 years. Your visit here concerns your father? Not exactly. I'm just starting at the beginning, you know. When father died, I should have come back from India. But then Amisham came out after me, wanted me to take my seat in the House of Lords. Silly. What? But you came back? Yes. To find my mother was expecting me to marry Isla Crane. It's...do you sit awkward? Awkward? She's terribly nice, but there's something odd about her. Odd? She's been frightened since that infernal murder. One idea, fellow, she walks in her sleep. You say she's frightened, Lord Lebanon? Of what? I shouldn't be surprised if it's that American footman my mother hired, a strapping big fellow. He lurks. He does what? Lurks.    Oh, yes, I'm the master in a way. Still, it's rather difficult when a fellow has a mother, but I don't want any fuss. I'll probably marry Isla in spite of her walking in her sleep. What about this Dr. Amisham? Oh. Well, you might as well know Dr. Amisham is a man I dislike intensely. Is he a friend of your mother? I suppose so, in a way. But he doesn't like me. He doesn't like Isla. He doesn't like anybody. And I'll tell you something else about him. When he was in India, a woman was killed in his bungalow. Indian woman. Beautiful girl. Can you tell me any more about it? You strangled with some sort of scarf. Oh, there was a terrible row about it. But he got out of it. I see. Lord Lebanon, why exactly have you come to see me? Well, I'll be perfectly frank with you. I'm frightened. I don't want to make a scene, but at the same time, I... I don't want to die. Aren't you possibly exaggerating? I don't know whether I am or whether I'm not, but there's something going on. But I don't understand it. Honestly, I do wish you'd come down and look into it. All right, Lord Lebanon. We'll be down the first thing tomorrow morning. You're taking me with you to Mark's priory, tenor. As I always say, you can't go wrong when you've got the coolest head in the yard along with you. Here we are. Can you imagine a lightweight, brain-like Lord Lebanon having all this and 40,000 pounds a year? Now, if I had that money... She's very tall, undisciplined, aged women. We're going in now, Toddy. Mind your manners. Yes, sir. Chief Inspector Tenor and Sergeant Toddy of Scotland Yard. We're here to see Lady Lebanon in the household. Lady Lebanon's in the drawing room. I'll announce it. Wait a minute. You're not the butler. No, sir. Butler's busy just now. I'm the doorman. Butman, eh? Then you must be the American, Gilda. Yes, sir. How long have you been here, Gilda? Eight years. I believe you have an account at the London and Provincial Bank. Haven't you? Yes, Inspector. Very unusual, isn't it? For a footman to have an account in the London Bank? Some of us are very thrifty. Oh, I know this. You had rather a large balance. Three or four thousand pounds. I bought some good stocks now and then. What is your salary here? Pretty good one. A lady's ship is generous. Well, I'll want to talk to you later, Gilda. Sure. Any time. Now I'll announce it to our lady ship. Never mind. I'll announce myself. Come on, Toddy. That seems to be the drawing room ahead. Lady Lebanon? Yes. I am Chief Inspector Tanner Scotland Yard. This is Sergeant Toddy, who was down here two days ago. How do you do? This is Dr. Amisham, my physician. How do you do? How do you do, Inspector? Why are you here, Inspector? I must remind you, lady ship, that your son Chouffeur was murdered only a few days ago. It would be necessary for me to question all of you. Toddy, you take care of the servants. Right, sir. Lady Lebanon, I would like to see your son and his fiancée, as well as you, and the doctor. Very well. Dr. Amisham, will you step upstairs and ask Ila to come down? Glad to, if the Inspector won't read something criminal into my actions. You never know about these police. Oh, before you go, Doctor, I believe you spent some time in India. Oh, yes, yes. I'm practically a colonial. And I believe there was some incident of a naked girl being strangled in your bungalow. A very unfortunate incident, Inspector. I'm sure you must be interested in the police work on the case. For some time, perhaps, I'll tell you all about it. Now, if you'll pardon me, I'll see if I can find Miss Cray. Is there anything you wish to tell me, Lady Lebanon? I knew very little about the poor Chouffeur. The servants can probably tell you the things you have to know. I suppose you want to look over the castle. Yes, of course. Are you interested in Blaisnery, Inspector? The coat of arms you see in here represents an eternity. The Lebanon line stands unbroken for twelve hundred years. It would be a pity were it to die out. I'm sure it would. How long have you known Dr. Amisham, Lady Lebanon? Many years. Since before my husband died. I was aware of that. In fact, I noticed that your husband's death certificate was signed by Dr. Amisham. Yes, it was. I believe you said you wished to see my son, Inspector. I'll go and tell him. When you can serve your lady duties to be done, to be done, not police. I should say, that's all the jolly. I didn't know policemen could sing. Oh, good morning, Lord Lebanon.  My mother, no. I haven't seen her. I suppose it's beastly of me, but I'm always rather glad when I don't see her. I say, I'm awfully glad you've come down. Have you met Amisham? I haven't met him.  I love him. You know, it just occurred to me. This chauffeur chap of ours might have been strangled by a scarf, like that Indian gal I told you about. Wouldn't surprise me if you were right. You wouldn't? You know, Inspector, I've always thought I had a talent for that sort of thing. Snooping around for clues. You have? Yes, indeed. It would never do, though, I suppose. The trouble is I can't stand the sight of blood. That nerves me for days. Gastly, isn't it? Oh, I don't know. I imagine there are many people who can't stand the sight of blood. You think so? I say, you will look into this, Amisham, won't you? Things are pretty rum around here, and I'm sure that he's at the bottom of it. Really? What were you saying to the Inspector? Nothing, Mother. I'm just remarking that Dr. Amisham is a founder. Nonsense, Willie. I'll not have you talking that way about Dr. Amisham. Where were you? I was looking everywhere for you. You couldn't have looked very hard. I was in the den all morning. It seems to be taking Dr. Amisham quite a while to bring Miss Crane down, I wonder. He has been a little long, but I'm sure they'll be here any minute. If you ask me. What if I love? What can be the matter? Dashed odd girl. We'll see. Come on. I love. What's the meaning of this nonsense? The matter with you, all you do is fidget and look frightened. I don't know. I heard the police saying that Dr. Amisham and the chauffeur were both strangled with a scarf. They found red threads on their throats. What's frightening about that? Well, I opened the drawer of your desk this afternoon, and I found a red scarf there. My dear child, you're dreaming. Which drawer? This one. Gee, there's nothing there.  These things! Lay about it. I sent your mother her quarterly check last week and just had a letter from her this morning. She's so happy to be secure after all the hard time she's been through. Oh, no! I wouldn't be here if it weren't for her. She knew what I'm doing. She'd rather starve than have me go on.   I can't stand hysterical women. They have unhealthy children, and you must have healthy children after you're married to Willie. Yes, Gilda? It's a gentleman from Scotland Yard. I've finished showing him over the house. I want to see you, Lady Lebanon. Have you been to the castle already, Inspector Tanner? Every room except one. The lumber room, my lady. On the first floor. One of the best positions in the house.  We call it the lumber room. It's really a place where I keep a few valuables. Your man has the key? No, I never open that room. Inspector Tanner, I'll tell you the truth. That is the room where my husband died. It hasn't been open since that day. But I'm sure I've seen it open, Lady Lebanon. You are quite mistaken, Isla. You must be overwrought. Go to your room. Yes, Lady Lebanon. I'm sorry, my lady. But I must insist on the room being open. But why, Inspector? Surely there's nothing there that would interest you. There might be. I'm looking for a collection of silk scarves. And I want to find them before somebody else gets strangled. Ridiculous. I don't think so. Incidentally, we discovered that a scar, perhaps the one used on Dr. Amidham, was burned this afternoon in a stove in the kitchen. Would you know anything about it? If anything has been burned, I haven't the least idea who burned it or what it was. I'm afraid I'm at fault, Inspector. I found some odd bits of silk on the carpet and burned them. Why, of course, Gilda. I was cutting out a doll's dress for the village bizarre. Doll dresses? Look, Chief, just give me a few minutes. Not now, Tuddy. Not now. Lady Lebanon, it strikes me that you're not very anxious to have the murder of your friend cleared up. Dr. Amidham was not a friend of mine. So the fact that he was murdered within a few yards of this room really doesn't matter. Aren't you being rather insolent, Inspector Tanner? I suppose I am. But your own attitude is rather peculiar. He wasn't a friend of yours, what was he doing here? He came to see me as a doctor. At your request? No, he just dropped in. So early in the morning, an hour after dropping in? I had a touching eritis in my arm. Oh, yes, neuritis. But you didn't send for him? No. He just guessed that you had neuritis and dropped in. Very convenient type of doctor to have. I'm not interested in your conclusions, Inspector Tanner. You will be in some of them. And Lady Lebanon, I intend to see that room, which you choose to call the lumber room. If not voluntarily, then with a court order. This is an outrage. No magistrate in this county would grant it. Then I'll go to the Home Secretary. You won't be able to reach him until tomorrow, Chief. So my home will belong to me until tomorrow, at least? Maybe. You don't seem to realize, or want to, that there's a murderer around. I know the identity of the murderer, Lady Lebanon, but I haven't got the proof. It may be in that room you refuse to open. Impossible. Not so impossible. Sergeant Totty and I are staying here this evening. I suggest that you reconsider and give us the key to the lumber room. It may save somebody's life. I'm glad the household's getting tucked into their beds. I could do with a bit of sleep myself. We've got to bed ourselves. Totty, as soon as we're sure that everything's quiet, we can step into the library for a last smoke while we're waiting. Look, Chief! They're on the floor. He's got another one. I see her. Miss Crane. Thank heavens he wasn't successful this time, Totty. She's still alive, although she'll have a sore throat for a while. Here's that scarf he did it with, too. I think she's coming around. Hello? I say, what's wrong? What's wrong? Our murderer tried to get Miss Crane. Oh, I say, poor girl. Is she done for? You know, she'll be all right in a moment. Okay, this is Inspector Tanner. You've had a nasty shock, but you're not hurt. Then suddenly, then... It's all right. Tell us the rest tomorrow. Now it's upstairs to bed for you. Best take a sedative. Totty, you help Miss Crane up to her room and get her made for her. Right, sir. Here, just lean on me, ma'am. Thank you, Inspector. Poor girl. Of course, she is a bit odd, but she doesn't deserve to die that way. No, thank heavens, she didn't die. I'm glad. Don't you think it's about time my line was wiped out, Inspector? Your line? I'm afraid I don't understand you. This sort of thing's been going on for years.  She's got all their dates, all their pedigrees. The leavenance has always been somewhat off. My father was more than somewhat... He spent 15 years in the Old Lord's room as mad as a hatter. I guess that. But... he never strangles anybody. The first time I saw it down was in Pooner.  She went out like that. I suppose one uses a scar like this one. You do understand. I brought back dozens of these cars from India. I'm not a big fellow, but I am awfully strong. Feel my arm. It's rather a laugh. People never think I have this strength. Even Gilda doesn't guess. Gilda? She's not really a footman, you know. He sort of... Well, he looks after me.  Yes. That's what I thought. And that room my mother wouldn't show you. Well, it's all padded, you know. Rubber cushions all around the wall. Go there when I... when I realize things you mean. When you imagine things. When I realize things, I know what I'm saying. When I'm quite well, I don't realize things. It's only when I get excited that my brain becomes clear. Don't touch me. I just wanted a light for my cigarette. Oh, I'm awfully sorry. Here, are you friend or foe? You're friend, of course. Now, why did you... why were you so unkind to the chauffeur? Stud? Oh, I'm awfully sorry about that. He was such a good fellow. But I'm afraid of Indians. One of them tried to kill me. They were very angry about that girl. I didn't know about this beastly masquerade ball in the village. I thought the chauffeur was an Indian. And Dr. Amishon? I didn't like him. He had my mother under his thumb. She knew about my realizing things. You see, and he blackmailed her. I'll show you something. Swear you won't tell anybody. I swear. Here. It's a gun loaded. I took it from Gilda's room this evening. It's the first one I've been able to get a hold of since I came back from India. Very nice. Would you mind not pointing it at me? It might go off. So it might. Sometimes I think I should turn it on myself. Wipe out the whole silly line. I wonder where Gilda put her. Put who? Isla. She was looking awfully like that Indian girl this afternoon. I went behind her for my arms around her. Did you hear her run down the stairs? She knows. That's why she's frightened of me. She came downstairs the night I smashed up this place. I don't remember doing it. But I suppose I must have. That was the night I nearly got Amishon. And last night when I did get him, she saw me coming back into the house. I'm terribly strong. You wouldn't think so, would you? You know, when you were at my office in Scotland Yard, I said to myself, this fellow is very strong. Did you really?  I said I worried them tonight. I didn't drink my bro mine. There are lots of ways of getting out of that room of mine. I don't know it, but I do. I fool them lots of times. Yes, I expect you to fool them pretty often. Well, I'm going to bed. Oh no, you're not going to bed. You're pretending that you're not scared. But you are. You see, I frighten people. I must frighten them. No. I'll be sensible and give me that. No, no, no. You want to fool around with a thing like that. There are lots of things I could do with this. I could end the line with this. Here comes my mother. We'll ask her. Give me that gun. No, no, I've always wanted a pistol. I've asked you for one dozen of times. You're going to give me that gun, old fellow? No, no, don't touch me. Don't touch me. This is 11,000 years of greatness like a candle in the wind. Tully. Yes, sir. Get Scotland Yard. All those other people. He had to go and spoil a perfect record by shooting. Don't go, please. Don't go. They're rehearsing our next performance in a green room. Like that record you just played? Oh, it's terrible. Corny. It's so commercial. Are those the records you want to hear? Yeah, what's the matter with them? Oh, long hairs. Why don't you get out of your long underwear? So long. Was that an insult? No, dear, no. Just a jive talk. Play one of our records. Okay, darling. Hey, Nora, what's got bucket? Oh, I don't know, darling, but it sounds to me like some new kind of girdle. Sit down, dear. What kind of stuff is that? Beethoven's Romance Beer. It's about time you developed a taste for good music. What's the matter with my taste? I like to see everything dinosaur sing. I learned to appreciate the higher form of beer. Oh, Mr. Bailey. Nikki, I want you to meet Mr. Benjamin Bailey, the proprietor of the Cadenza Record Shop. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Charles. Oh, you do. Just call me Beethoven Bunny like everybody else does. Well, Mr. Charles, shall I start lecturing at him? Oh, please, Benny.  Uh-huh. Mr. Charles, now you're just listening to a hunk of music called Romance. It's a big one, Beethoven, which is written in Andante, which means not too fast, but don't fall asleep. You get it? Hey, Benny, where'd you learn about music? Oh, in my youth, I was the first piccolo player in the Sing Sing Philharmonic Orchestra. Now you take that album there. Chastikovic's sixth symphony. Chastikovic was influenced by Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Rachmaninov, Brimsky-Korsakov, Glasnov-Masikovsky, and Tchaikovsky. So what happens? So Chastikovic makes wooden notes, and if you spend an ear, it sounds a little like Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Rachmaninov, Brimsky-Korsakov, and Tchaikovsky. Now they're not to be confused with Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Mozart, and Papa Haydn, or if the German school, as against the Russian school, two nations which are at war today, which is something to think about, ain't that, Mrs. Charles?  Yes, it certainly bears thinking about it. So to get along with my suppression, Beethoven was carrying the torch for a hot little tomato called Countess Guiciotti.  This passage. It's sheer perspiration. Oh. Well, what's the matter with Freddie? Did he run out of perspiration? No, the record stopped. Something messed up his phonograph. Oh, won't it go? No, it's dead. Well, how do we push it away from the wall, Benny? Well, what killed it, Nikki, Fadkin's plane? Oh, baby, it was murdered. Oh, phonographs don't get murdered.  Well, here's the bullet, Nora. That's where's the motor. Well, now, who'd want to murder a phonograph?  The bullet came through that wall. There's the hole. What's on the other side of this wall, Benny? Another boat like this. There's just a ten-partition of the expensive soundproof junk between the boats. Someone in that other booth found that bullet. Come on. I bet it's one of my competitors trying to ruin my business. Well, there's the door to the other booth. Oh! Steady, baby. Oh, look, Nikki, you love that woman. Benny, turn off that record. All right. Is she dead? Three bullet wounds in the head. Benny, you'd better call the police. Yeah, I'll phone right now. Nikki, do you think the killer's still around? No, darling. If he was smart enough to turn on that record to cover the noise of the shots, he's smart enough to turn on that record. He must be a very queer killer, dear. He left his lipstick behind. What do you mean? This lipstick I just found. It's called Passion Smear. Oh, but that probably belongs to the corps. Uh-uh, it's a different shade. You see? They don't match her lip. Yeah. Hey, listen, oh, you wait here. Where are you going? I want to speak to headquarters. This looks like a case for an inspected gallery. I'll be back in a minute. Hmm. I don't know. Hmm. I wonder if... Oh, I didn't notice that before. This is interesting. Nikki, did you...? Oh, who turned off the lights? Oh, there's been two of me! Let's... We present Nick and Nora Charles in the Adventures of the Thin Man. This is Peter Lawry closing the doors. Good night. Good night.


This here is a little souvenir, picture of my best pal, Sam Tucker and his folks. Believe me, they don't come no better. Only when old Sam gets an idea of that hard head of his, ain't no room for nothing else. This is Nona, Sam's wife. And here's Sam's ma, a widow woman.  Army here ain't no Tucker, just a good friend. If he looks kind of sheep-eyed, it's cause he's all lit up with that flame in Moyn's heart. These are the youngest of Tucker clan, Sam's kids, Daisy and Jotty. And here's Sam's granny, she didn't like having her picture taken either. This one's me, I'm a town man myself, only come home for fairs and weddings and such. That's how come I cherish these pictures so, makes me feel close to my friends to look at. Sam. Not Uncle Pete. It's awful hot. Hey, Nona. It's a mortar. It's Matando hot. Yeah.  I'll finish your rope, are you? I gotta take my cotton back now, aren't you? I'll take care of Uncle Pete. Yeah, Uncle Pete's sick, Clyde. I'm gonna finish his rope. Have to crop soar. If they're gonna might stay here, get me a bulldozen job. Where are you going? Well, I think I'm going north, Nick, here. Oh. Good.  I'll tell her. He ain't so good. I'll raise him a tombstone. But got money. You can't get mixed up with no copperheads. Already wearing one crooked toe, one of them scoundrels ruined. Daisy, leave a few for the next filler. I thought you was a pair of snakes. I am. But that ain't no sign I got to starve to death, is it? You know that old San Pedro place down near the river? I heard of it. I ain't never seen it. Well, it belongs to the boss, too. Oh, Lodge at the commissary was telling me it's for rent. It's been laying out there now for three years. It should be as rich as mud. In the old days, old man Corinth used to raise the best crops in the country on it. It's been laying out all that time. It'll take a whole year to clear it off. Yeah. Don't you be always teasing Granny? I reckon I could ask old man Hewitt for his mules. He don't ever hardly use them know-how. Pay him with a bit of the crop. And as for seeds and fertilizer, I bet I could make a deal with Harmy. And as for a plow, there's that old one who has been laying out in Mo's backyard ever since he died. He ain't been used for nothing but roosting chickens on. I'm going to ask the boss about it. Ask and don't do no harm. No, ask and no work either don't harm a man. After all, the boss is a pretty good guy. We all have been friends. It's okay with me, Tucker. I ain't interested in that piece of land. It's too far away from my other property. But just remember this. Satisfied with the way you'll break that contract anytime of like. You're a good hard worker. And that's why I'm bothering to warn you. And I'm telling you again, if you're working for a big outfit, maybe you don't get rich. But you still get your pay even if the crops is bad. But the little guy who's growing his own, if his crops is ruined, he's got nothing left. See, you made up your mind. Got some way of moving you things? Yes, sir. Carillo said I could borrow his truck. Okay. Good luck, Tucker. To the river, honey.  My speed, it don't let me no more if I was a yellow dog. I always hoped we could have a room to ourselves someday. Oh, we can have. When summer comes, let Granny and the kids sleep in here and move our bed out on the porch. And have everything real nice. Oh, Sam, the house don't seem like nothing extra. Seems like extra one thing. Pretty darn extra bad. I reckon I was thinking too hard about the land. I plum-forgot about the house. It sure be some patching to do. More than a little. What about the well, Sam? Crazy to think we could live in this place. Why did it take me at least two weeks to dig this well again? Without even talking about the money the planks and beams had cost. Take much of a man that brings his babies and his women, folks, to soak and freeze and no such simple as this. Maybe she's right. Water from that river for the kids, it'd be just like serving them up a dish of typhoid. Take much of a man. Still go back to the camp if you want to. The boss couldn't have known how bad the place is. I could talk to him again and still maybe get my bulldozing job for the winter. Well, how's the ground? Oh, it's good earth, all right. You know, if dirt like this fella could raise the best crop in the country, it's been laying out all these years. But it's kind of like men, you know. It needs a rest every once in a while. Maybe that's the reason the Lord invented sending. But Sam, how about all this brushing Johnson grass? You'll kill yourself getting rid of it for the planting? I ain't all alone, honey.  I might get plum more out of thinking about you and Jolly and Daisy, and I ain't quite so tired no more. Oh, Sam, I just never could get along without you. Me too, honey. I couldn't live without you. The thing to be good about is we could always work together. When you did the plowing, I could lead the mules, and when you cleared up this brush, I could burn it for you. And in the summertime, we could lie in the grass and watch the kids swimming in the river. Yeah, that'd be fine, honey. But what worries me is that busted well. Oh, Sam, we could truly borrow water from the neighbor yonder. Ain't nobody refuses water. Yeah, I hear he's got a good well. Sam, I reckon we ought to stay. You really mean that?  I'm saying it because I believe you're as good as any man, and it's right for you to be your own boss. Darling. Hey, you two. You ain't all alone here, you know. Awesome topic. Give me a hand. Just, sister, mind you, I can say it being I'm a lady. All right, old lady, but you better be down before mornin', or you'll go right back to camp for this truck. No man career might not like it so much, neither. Grandson gone crazy as a bedbug. Pure plump crazy, I tell ya. And here we're done head. And if he thinks he's gonna stick his old granny in a trash box like that, but he's stickin' for nothin' more than killin' me, sure. Ain't exactly a veranda, honey, but to me it supports it makes the house a home. Sam, I think I got the stove working. Oh, did you? All lighted together. The house. Yeah. Sure made a good job of that stove, honey. Won't be long before we'll have a good hot cup of coffee. You get some water, Sam. Here's some honey, granny. Honey. You're not only let me die of the cold, but they hide out the goodies on me. Fire going is nice and warm in here. It'll make us a good dinner. This one to devour is that neighbor hours down the road with a good well. That little one in the buckets for us. Aren't you gonna put on dry clothes? Oh, I'll dry off walking over. Won't be gone long. You better keep Soonie here. This one ain't so big, honey. Come on, Jody. Soonie? Well, I'll catch us another one tomorrow. A big one. We'll keep it. He's my uncle. He's over yonder in the shant. Fish hook you're fixin'. I ain't no grabbler. Is it in this river? Aim to use it any place I feel like it. Filly! I'm Becky Desmond. Yes, I'm. We're the Tuckers. We're the folks next door. It's lonesome here. What are you doing here? I didn't send for you. But I thought... You don't have to think. Get that fish and go back in the house. That thing's a real fine thing. Now you get your wash and finish. It was seemed to borrow some of your well water. So that's what you come for. I could have told you that. What about that water? Why don't you get your water at the river? Because river water ain't no good for kids to drink. This is plenty of water. You'll have to make other arrangements, though. When summer comes, it gets pretty weak when the weather's dry. We'll take turns about replacing the wore-out rope. A mile down the road. You're going to fix your own well, ain't you? If you're retting, you must have some savings put aside. I got two good arms. It's worth more than savings. Talk. You think there can be farmers just like that with the bare hands. Got any tools? A tractor?  But I got two mules and a good old plow and a friend of mine's lending the seed. Rust and furnish is the fertilizer. Don't need much for good muddy land like that. And he gives the poison for the weevils, pays the cotton pickers, even lets you draw grub from his commissary after you get the ground broke. Yeah, he just furnishes about everything with the sweat. And if you get by the year, he generously lets you take your share of the crop. Ain't that right? Well, I asked me. He seems like you know it already.  Until you get your plowing started. Aim to fish and hunt varmints and sell a few skins. There are lots of folks like that live around here and plenty more than it before. And how about you? How'd you get started? Of course, my whole crop, it was run by the hail. Next year, black leg got my cow and pig that I'd spent all my savings for. My wife caught cold and she died. Two years later, one of my kids, the boy, he died from spring sickness. Maybe I lost them both, my woman and my kid, because I didn't have no money for doctrine. And here I am with a farm. A good one belongs all to me and worth lots of money. Only I can't forget what it cost me. So when I see young folk like you with their proudness, noses stuck in the air just makes me laugh. Well, much obliged for the water. And good luck with your fish hunt. Hey, Finley. What's that big old fish you're uncle's fixing up there? Is there a whale in this river? That's for Lead Pencil. Lead Pencil, what's that? A catfish. He's got chin whiskers like Lead Pencil. It's the biggest during catfish you've ever seen in the river. Hey, hey! Get that water! Right away, Uncle Henry! Thank you, man. Must be the wind. It's more the signs. For days now, the moon's been moving closer and closer to the North Star. The animals don't like that, they hide out. Crazy to go against the signs, but what can you do? You've got to get fresh food. Daisy, honey, why don't you and Sonny get into bed? It's nice and warm there. Come on, Daisy. Go to bed, Johnny. Have a nice day at school, sister? She didn't go, Sam. Why not? It's too cold.  She'll catch her death at cold. But Daisy's got to go to school. Just because we're having hard times right now don't mean we've got to stop nothing. Well, we've got to keep going. Once we give up, we won't have the courage to get ourselves back to good times. And I see it ain't going to have no dinner again tonight. Never you mind, Granny. For breakfast, we'll have a nice big bowl of cornmeal mush.  You'll be sorry then, maybe. You keep on promising, Granny. You don't never deliver the goods. Cush your mouth. You can't talk to me like that. You ain't even a real tucker. Hey, honey. Daisy's got to be coated. You've got to go to school.   Get out of here.   You want Daisy to catch her death? There'll be enough blanket to keep you warm.  That's my gift. Sam Tucker's the boss here. He can cut up whatever he likes. He's the boss. You hear me? That does work. Take on the song. I think I know where there's a nice swarm of wild bees.  Maybe. Wild bees. Wild bees don't care for folks coming and helping yourselves, you know. Now, don't you worry. I'll get your honey. No need. You know, I guess you're right.  It's Sam of yours. He's most as good a man as my fit yet. My best blanket. Yes, sir, your hat'll just about bring the price of a pair of silk stockings for Lona. Nice and shiny. Now, folks. Much obliged, Lord. Looks like the tuckers are going to make the great after all. First, because she's the eldest. Then comes Jottie, because he's the littlest. Papa, because he caught possum. This one's for Zuni, because he helped him. Last of all, Daisy and me, because we're the women, folks. Vegetables in winter? If you don't. That must be spring sickness, Sam. Well, it's vegetables that causes spring sickness. That's when you get it along about the time you start eating vegetables. I ought to know. I lost three of mine from it.  And not one of them was over six. Sharks, look at them. Anything a body likes as fit as that couldn't be bad for them. Ain't that true, no? Working and plugging away, and I gosh, we done good. Start planting our cotton round about the twin days. And our crop will really get started. You see those little green woolly worms falling out of that tree down together. Some folks might think that they're what lead pencils act to. But they'd be wrong. Because he's after something else. He ain't interested in no worms. Well, lead's a pretty smart old guy. Wouldn't hardly live to be as old as he is if he wasn't. I'll bet your old lead waits for his dinner right over yonder without their drift. It's like a trap. That pencil's got his cupboard. Would no better than me. It's already lost sweet. I see no reason to bother you, Doctor. It was just a little sore. Sonny ain't ever been sick. But it grew and grew. Now it seems like it's just fun gonna possess him.  Can't stand to watch it no longer, Doctor. You gotta do something to stop it. Have a cow, do you? No, son. You better tell Sam to get one. How can we get a cow? Borrow one. Let Sam raise a heifer for somebody. Or borrow some milk anyway. A pint a day. Or better still a quart. Any neighbor with a cow could spare you then. I'll try, Doctor. What medicine? Undress the boy. What vegetables you've been eating lately? Vegetables. Couldn't grow vegetables in winter. You got any money? Yes, Doctor. I got your two dollars. And Sam's got a dollar and 35 cents more. Keep it.  Give him a glass of lemonade twice a day and get that milky here. If you don't give him milk and vegetables, anything that I can do will be just plum wasted. And with the milk and vegetables? I think he's got a chance. He's right close to shadow theory, the old Colonel. He brought us all together. And he said, he said, young men in civilian life never brag about your conquest, whether they be love or war.  I'm telling you, I know. Ten cents, Sam. Ain't he gone up? He used to be a nickel. No, ma'am. Old Z could be mighty pleased with him, ma'am. Tim just came back to show off his city clothes. Yeah, just take a look at that fancy tie. It seems like in the city, dollars grow faster than beans in the field. Don't pay no mind to them, Yoko. Sam, I've been looking all over for you. Let's go over to Siemens and I'll buy some beer and tell you all about it. Brother, I'm with you any time you'll buy me a beer. Well, Army, Nona and Jott over at Doc White's. When they come over, tell them I'll be back in a minute. What do you mean? When you're drinking beer with old... How much for this pair of garlands? Is that Nona and Jotties over at Old Doc White's? Yeah. What's wrong, Sam? You know what I'm saying, Alan? Granny says it springs sickness. Yeah, poor Nona.  Yeah, it's tough, man. When Momol came out to my place yesterday to help, Army brought her out in this truck. Now, that's kind of a relief. I'm working the factory with me.  What would I do in the factory? I'm a farmer. Well, they just opened a new plant and they're just crying for men. Don't even have to be skilled. I know the foreman. Seven bucks a day. Two bottles of beer. Beer for me. Mighty bestie. Well, why don't you ask your sweet papa there? He gets it wholesale. Oh, him. They say he wanted his good days. Must have got out a bit on the wrong side. Well, I got out on the... I've seen you someplace before. No? What'd you say? Well, yes, sir. Ain't I never seen you someplace before? Could be. I don't know.  Like you see, I'm with my friend here and my wife's waiting for me at Army's store. Oh, so you got a wife? Yep, I got a wife. Well, someone's got wives and they're still nice and friendly. I'm sorry, ma'am. I was studying about something. Let's go down to the end of the bar, pal. We can't talk here. Excuse me, ma'am. I ain't got no wife waiting for me, baby. How about a date tonight?  You know what you can do with your dates. Okay, okay, baby. We'll talk about it later. Bucks a day, huh? So it's yes, you come? Well, don't write, let's see how I can, Tim. I made a deal with Rustin. I already got some credit from his commissary. Man, with seven bucks a day, it wouldn't take you long to pay him back. Yeah, but I'm telling you, Tim, this is the first time I've been able to farm my own crop, just like I always wanted to. That ain't something I can give up just like that. Well, how much can you get on your crop? Man, without that ground I got, it'll be the finest crop in the country. Well, what does that mean, the finest crop in the country? Then, in luck at all, I can make two bales an acre. Well, how much does that make for you? More than 50 bales. No, no, I mean how much money? Do you know that on that ground that I've been working on now, old man Corinth made a fortune in the last cotton boom, a real fortune? Oh, so that's the idea. All you farmers is just the same. Gambler. That's what you all are, too, a man. Year after year, you starve yourself to death and hopes it's some fine day. I think you're local. Me, I'd rather be safe first. Me, I'd rather work in my fields. I feel better that way. I feel more free. Free? Free? Man, with money in your pocket, you're as free as a wind. With this, if you want a good meal, you go to a restaurant.  All you gotta do is flash your greenbacks. You get anything you want. You call that free sweating from morning till night and a bacon-hot sun working in them fields? Oh, I love how it's sometimes pretty hard. What I mean is being able to decide things for myself. I know I can choose my own time about planting and plowing and harvesting the crop and that I can do it all in my own way and don't have to answer to nobody. I mean, for me alone to be accountable for it, whether the weave will strip it clean or whether it's a best crop. Well, only that means no. I'm afraid so, Tim. Well, pal, I think you're making a big mistake. Hey, Bart, you ever workin' my mother for dollars? What for dollars? I'll give you a five-dollar bill. Oh, no. Lizzie, you've seen that was a one. Of course I did. That pretty boy that's going home to his wife. He sees it too. Well, I'll be dogged gone. Nothing but a hecky old farmer and yet the girls fall for you like a ton of brick.  Ha-ha-ha!  I'll tell his joint! I'm sorry! Okay, brother. But I hope it's gonna be worth the four dollars to you. I ain't askin' you to help, Sam. You've got a family. I wouldn't start no trouble, Sam. I don't stay here, Sam. This is apt to cost you more than four dollars. I'm askin' you please not to stay here. I'd like to see him get the invention he wants to grow. Where'd you figure we were gonna get that there milk from? Out in the sky, just like that. Get more sickness with break-near. A wigger lady hurray jointed him better since. That baby will just kick you to death in this year, will ya? It wasn't this year, Tucker family just ain't strong. It's just like I told you, Tucker, I don't need no extra help. I got Finley and my gal Becky. Too bad about your boy. I know what that is, a sick kid, pretty sorrowful. What's your name, Becky? But I told you before it's wrong for a man to get too big for his britches. When you got no money, you work for them what's got it that there's the rule.  About the milk like you see, I can't rightly spare a drop. Me, I got no milk for myself, it's all for the pigs. Throw the rest in, Becky. Finley, bring the grain. Your cotton. Comin' along, not too many bugs. I seen you the other day in the field, you were shavin' that cotton so close to the ground with a plow, you scared me. Still, that's the best way to get rid of the bugs, rolls them right out in the sun, he kills them better than any poison. But you got to have a good eye and a steady hand.  If I was you, I wouldn't think twice. I'd go back to work for Ruston. If I wanted to give up, I wouldn't have to go back to Ruston. Got something better? Yeah, lots better. Like I already done told you, I want to grow my own crop and I aim to do it. Well, if you're so sure of yourself, why y'all is coming around asking the neighbors for help? I don't know why I've asked you for anything. Likely some old-fashioned idea I had about naveliness. Take good care of them pigs. That's sure what I'm going to do. Finley, see that, that black hog eats all his dinner, you hear? So long, Devers. It's for John. Thanks, Becky. I can get you some more every once in a while. My daddy won't ever see you. Now, let's oblige, Becky, and I'll take it, because my boy's a really bad dog, but I'll pay you for it. Becky, Becky, I've seen you. I've seen what you've done. I feel just like breaking somebody's neck today. I'm going to tell your father you were stealing his milk. I know he was hankering after this fella. I've seen you looking at him before. I'm going to tell your father. Oh! What did you do that for? I ain't never going to speak to you again. If I see you talking to him again, you'll be sorry. Get Finley. Don't fret, Becky.  I ain't just a saint. I can't listen to him cry. You put that sky up there in this old mud down here. It made it so pretty if you didn't want us to work it and to love it. You want me to give all this up, move in town with Tim, and work with him in a factory under a roof that hides your sky and puts out your light. Tell me, Lord, help me to know. You have a good trip to me. Yeah. You know, army of cars is the only thing I love in the country that I miss in the city. Believe me, you me, that sweet old gal, so I'm more gentle, look, I'm not lessy, I'm something more. Father, can I go tell him now? Of course you can. Wagon in one of these days is a bull constrictor. I wouldn't be one might surprised. Vegetable garden? That's Finley and them devils cattle. In the house, honey. Go on back in the house. Not by yourself, but we both know who did. Come on, we're going to your place. Look, I said, why'd you do it? What do you mean why'd I do it? You can't prove nothing. Lord, call it an act of God. That's for your garden. You can plant it again, can't you? Plant it again? Or did you come to borrow some seed? I wouldn't borrow from you. Wait a minute. Speaking of borrowing. This rope's plum root. Remember what we agreed on when you first come and asked for water? You mean about replacing it? Yeah, about replacing it. It's time for you to do it now. I don't aim to use this one no more. And I'm sick and tired of you coming around here and asking for water. And now devils, I'm going to break your neck. I'm mighty glad you started this, Tucker. Especially what Finley is, a witness. That makes two of us can talk to the law. The first time you come to ask for water, just don't like to see folks trying to be better than they are. In this world, there's got to be them what gives orders and them what takes them. And you figure you was made to give them and me to take them. Is that right? Why? Because I worked hard all my life. I worked hard too. You know that? Well, why here, not someplace else? Before you come, I was alone in this place. Everything was mine. I was thinking on buying your farm. It was cheaper then. But now if this goes on like this, everything's going to be on. All I ever see is you everywhere I go. In the woods, killing the farm and at the river catching the fish. Even Finley told me you set a line for lead pencil. And McGalbecky, you hear what she said? Don't bother about me anymore. His whiskers is as big as lead pencils. That's my fish. Whatever too, huh? Well, maybe the law will call my hook and line an act of God. You give me the fish and swear never to say you caught it and I'll give you a dollar. I don't want no dollar. My folks likes fish. All right, let me take it. Keep it for a day or two and show it at the store. And then you can have it back. Folks likes fresh fish, Debra. Well, let me take it and I can use out of my garden. What happened, Sam? Becky told me. Oh, honey, it ain't nothing. I was just helping Debra say I pulled this big old catfish out in the river. He done caught lead pencil. He was about to tell you. Yeah, we've probably forgot. You tell him, honey. Well, we're going to get married someday. I was thinking I'll bless those tug-as-o's. I can't help wondering why. I get the man I want. Jottie's cured and happy once more. Daisy's so good at her booklining she's going to get a prize at school. Sam's grown the best crop in the county. Maybe he's going to buy his own place with what he makes often. I keep studying why Almighty blessed us tug-as-o's so generous. But I reckon I know. It's because of Sam and the way he worked that farm he is. That crop he done grown must be just the way the Lord wanted it. You're sure right. Only if Sam is like he is, it's because he's got such a good mark. I got something to say, too. I can't think of nobody a drother had than Harming from a paw. Hey, son. He ain't a baby no more. Leave him alone. I think he's mine now. Oh, she's yours. Who do you think you are? Just think of him. I'd stop that tomorrow. Oh. But it ain't tomorrow yet. Come on in here. He says it doesn't. When our ship comes in, I want us to get one of them talking machines and a lot of sacred records. I want to sit on the gallery and I'm going to drink lemonade with ice in it. I want to see your Bueller land, you know. We're on the highest mountain of the way. Say, Harming, you're sure you didn't catch cold the night you made that, huh? Don't you know this is just to keep you warm? Hey, Harming, weren't you feared of the law? You kidding? Law was right there waiting for the finished product. Hey, Sam. Come on. I'll show you something. Silly stuff, Sam. Sam is drinking them hot-shot nightclubs. Lay your nose on that. Smell it, Sam. Smell it. Ain't that something? Oh, it sure is. Three bucks a quart? Can I square dance, huh, folks? Oh, I gotta find a good hiding place for this. Oh, you're very nice, man, but thanks just to say. After the dance, we could go outside, honey. I got some money so I'm drinking liquor in my car. Well, thank you, man, but I got a partner. How about a dance with me, honey child? Man, if the dance will go up your car. What happened to our cotton? Better get it along back inside. Don't do no good for us.   Let's switch. On back to the house, we got work to do. But I just gotta find her, Tim. Pass you down there, but the river's all underwater. Well, why don't you wait until the water goes down? Brother, this river will never stop rising. Okay, boy. I'll get a hand. Okay, boy. Okay, I'm swimming along. Oh, yeah, and I'm going on with you. You better stay here. Okay, Tim. Okay, boy.  I just can't look at them no more.  When he ain't wanted on the place, ain't nothing for him to do but to pack up and get out. It's about the things, too. Most of Jottie's vegetable jars are still whole. Of course, the picture's got kind of broke, but once I get him hanging straight on the wall, they won't look so bad. Well, I gotta back up again, and I think it'll work all right now. How do you like that, Sam? I like it fine, honey. It's much worse. Much worse if the engine had taken us. Yeah, I said it.  I was a plumber out for a while. I didn't seem to believe in nothing no more. But now my clothes are starting to dry and beginning to believe again. I guess that's the way the earth feels when she's wet. Let the sun will start drying her out and she'll start calling to me again just the way Nona does sometimes. I noted all along you'd never leave this place. If there was only one farmer left in this earth, that'd be you. Quit your kidding, town. Well, their machines are yours, and they're fine. I realize that, but you sure can't eat them. Once in a while, you gotta have a hunk of beef and a few ears of corn to fill up your belly. Or you said if folks are mighty smart. But I'm afraid without us farmers you'd get kind of skinny. As workers, I just wonder what had happened to you all. Your plow. She sure didn't grow on no tree.  You didn't plant no seeds to get that. Someday like I hope you get your tractor. Who are you reckon that'll come from? Believe me, friend, it takes all kind to make up this whole world. You love your farm. It's right you stay. I like to work in a factory. And that's why I come here to take you back with me, Sam. Well, you know what I'm talking about. I don't mean no harm. I'd just like to help you. Yeah, I know, Tim. Thanks. Good drink, Noni. I'll be tickered. As if we'd ever get through with the plowing. I'm going back to the house and just sit and wait for my call to glory. Spring's gonna come a little early this year, honey. I reckon we can start our seeding even before the twin dates.

Welcome to preschool story time with the Long Beach Public Library. My name is Ms. Shayna and I'll be your storyteller today. We're going to sing a song by Raffi called I'm in the mood for singing. And if you're in the mood for singing or dancing or jumping, get out of your seat and join me. I'm in the mood for singing. Hey, how about you. I'm in the mood for singing. Hey, how about you. I'm in the mood for singing. Singing. I'm in the mood for that today. Hey, hey. Sign of here. Should we check? You're sure. Look at what's inside the bowl. See what else is in here. That's one of my favorite things to eat ever. It's an apple. I get it. A seed grows into a tree. Both apples, apples. That must be what our storytime is about today. Thank you, Storytime Fairy. I'm so excited to read about apples. Today's story is called Hungry Bunny. It's written by Claudia Rueda and we're reading this today with permission from Chronicle Books in San Francisco. Thanks, guys. Did you hear something? Here I come. You hear my tummy rumble? Hungry Bunny. It's time for a red, delicious and hard to reach. Could you please shake the book so that the apples fall down? Since you can't shake the book. I'll shake the book.  Gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. Let's do it. You ready? Take a big, big deep breath. Ready? Go. Much better. Thank you. I'm still hungry. How do you suppose we could get his scarf back? Those are some great ideas. Could you help me grab my scarf? Should I help him? I could help him, I guess. Do you want to help? Let's grab it. Let's grab the scarf, okay? Oh, look. Here it is right here. Hey, we got it. Can you place the scarf here for me and hold it tight? Okay. I can use it to climb the tree and pick those tasty apples. Just one more. Great teamwork. I got them all. Can you hang on to that scarf for me? Okay, I won't lose it, Rabbit. I got it right here, okay? Whoops. I'm running late. What an uphill battle. Wait a minute. Why am I going uphill? Hmm. We can fix that. Can you tilt the book for me? Sure. Bye. Now my wheels are turning. Why don't we have even more fun? Would you rock the book back and forth? I'm rocking it. So we keep going and get ready to turn. Oh my goodness. I guess I upset the apple cart. Look, it's cracked in the middle. And where are all the apples? Did you see where they went? Maybe on the next page. Ah, here they are. I'll just pick these up. Pick up the apples. And on the road again. But what's this? Get him over that hole. He is a rabbit. You think he can jump across? Can you jump like a bunny really high in the air? But he's having to carry all those heavy apples. I don't think it's easy to jump while carrying a bushel of apples, right? Hmm. Hey, I think I'm going to need some more help. Can you use my scarf to make a bridge? That's a wonderful idea, rabbit. Here we go. I'm going to hold it here. I'm going to hold it with this hand like this. And then I'm going to go like that so you can walk across. And look, he can juggle while he's crossing it. Perfect. Thank you. I'm at the end of my rope. Good thing I'm almost home. Where does a bunny live? Give me a little push, please. Go ahead and push on the bunny's bottom. Just a gentle little push. Right on time for mom's apple pie. Like she's stirring it up. Not a bad apple in the bunch. Yum. And we saved a piece for you. The end. That was Hungry Benny by Claudia Ruida. This rhyme is called Five Little Apples. Will you call out the color of the apples for me? Let's count them. One, two, three, four, five little apples. Can you show me five on your hand? Great job. Five little apples hung in a tree. The farmer wasn't looking. So guess who came to eat? Crunch. How many apples are left? One, three, four. Can you show me four on your hand? Here we go. Four little apples hung in a tree. The farmer wasn't looking. So guess who came to eat? Mr. Horse came by. Oh, dear. How many apples are left? One, two, three. Show me three. Three little apples hung in a tree. The farmer wasn't looking. So guess who came to eat? Slopper, slopper. Crunch. That doggy was hungry. How many apples are left now? One, two. Show me two. Two little apples hung in a tree. The farmer wasn't looking. So guess who came to eat? How many apples are left now? And that's right. Show me one. One little apple hung in a tree. The farmer wasn't looking. So guess who came to eat? Whoa, Piggy was very hungry. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Well, now the tree is bare. There are no more apples there. But when next fall comes around, guess who will be there? Thank you for joining me. I had so much fun. Before I let you go, I want to sing one more song that's a favorite of mine. It's called May There Always Be Sunshine. I hope you take care of yourself and your loved ones and our great big beautiful world. And I hope you get lots and lots of hugs. May there always be sunshine.


The queues finally reclaimed on the close the 366 area which is the 200-day moving average which which is a huge huge deal. You guys remember. Welcome to Access a Trader the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success profitability and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Access a Trader dot com weekend. Well now we get too tired. Regular day with me week update show. Hope everybody is doing okay. So the worst thing a trader can hear. The worst word in a trader's vocabulary is contraction. That's the absolute worst thing because contraction is tight channels. The bulls are not strong enough to succeed. The bears there's not enough weakness to go lower. They're just sitting in the channels and that's what we saw for the last three, four days. Right guys? We've been watching this whole channel here above the five-day. We keep on getting rejected. We keep on holding the 10-day moving average and there was just something yesterday. If you watched last night's video, there was something yesterday that gave us a pretty good sense. We had a shot, right? We had a legitimate shot for stocks to wake up and if you watched last night's video, you saw this is the first candle, right? The close above the five-day moving average and this is the highest close in this whole formation and we started talking about names that were potentially waking up, the AMDs of the world and the videos of the world, right? And slowly but surely today, you had your little moves here and there in the beginning and then slowly but surely you saw one thing that we did not see in last night's video was deep out of the money call buyers. Again, we'll get to the individual pivots in a second but we started seeing this kind of mid-morning, deep out of the money, short-term expiration, call buyers come in, they started to take out the previous day's ranges and all the names that got really smoked on that first move when we broke below the 50 and the 200-day moving average on the Qs, all the growth names, right? The UPSTs of the world, the AFRMs of the world, even Facebook, right? We talked about Facebook that, hey, one of these days, it has to rally. It just doesn't make sense that it's just going to go straight down. It has to rally slowly but surely all the moons, the stars and the technical view just from yesterday's session being the highest close in this whole formation, being the first time it reclaimed the five-day moving average. Again, I didn't expect this explosion today, knock on what had happened, but it happened and that's the most important part and we went from literally a cash flow environment in the first hour or so into an incredible expansion channel zone with huge option flares coming in, big bets coming in ahead of earnings and the most important part and this is where we talked about in the last several weeks, the Qs finally reclaimed on the close the 366 area which is the 200-day moving average which is a huge, huge deal. If you guys remember the last time we reclaimed the 200-day moving average, it was very short-lived and that was when Google came out with earnings and you saw, they just literally sold Google every single day from the earnings but what we did see today was really great action for the first time in about a week, week and a half or so structural expansion, option flow, everything under the sun.  So this was a lot of really good, very, very good short-term market action, first close above the 200-day moving average. Now we needed a little bit more juice to kind of see if we could get it through. You had Disney after the close come out with really good numbers.   So you had Disney knocking at the park, you got Tulo, another technology name, doing really, really well. You had even Uber, Uber, you had Uber coming out with really good earnings as well and now we're again, we're gapping above, we're gapping above all of today's, all of today's channels which is super duper bullish and the one thing that we said, well I said, I keep on saying the word we, but the one thing that I said when we closed above the 200-day moving average the first time around on the Google's earnings, wow are you guys remembering that whole heavy D? Now that we found love, right? What are we going to do with it?  Now we're getting a second time at love, what are we going to do it again? But this time when you look at the daily charts where we were when Google came out and reclaimed the 200 versus where we are now, we're in a lot better shape and if you look at what we talked about last night, some macro levels were starting to come up, you could see the complete difference kind of where we are now, the kind of where we were only five days ago, but most important from a psychological point of view, it just felt really good today, right?  And then finally we picked the direction today and as much as we say we don't care which way the market flows to the downside, to the upside as long as we have a range, look let's all be honest, we feel a lot better when the market is strong, everybody's in a better mood, there's much more liquidity, much more participation and the most important part is right, people are much happier and that's the most important part. And now when you look at all the names that are coming out of the bottom range, they're coming out with very, very explosive moves. So tomorrow, how can you not give the bulls the benefit of the doubt? Big explosions today, again we'll get to the pivots in a second, huge explosions, but more important we have a really great value on deck coming in for tomorrow as well. And that's where the market gets good, the market's never good when it's trading linear in a high formation, the market always is the best trading market, it's coming off a bottom, reclaiming big levels, in this case it's the 200-day moving average. Now our next level of interest is the Google highs of roughly 370 or so, and after that if any close above 370, we start getting back to the 50-day moving average, then you're looking at roughly what, 73, 74, and then ultimate the big matzo ball is any close above 380 on the queues really lights a fire and that's the last day you want to be short, if you are short. That's the last thing you want to do is be short when the market reclaims the 50-day moving average, but again before we put the cart in front of the horse here, let's enjoy kind of what we are today, let's enjoy the action that we saw today and the most important part is let's see if we can confirm going into tomorrow. So let's talk about the day, super aggressive man, really really super duper aggressive today, again I think I could speak for everybody right, I think I could speak for everybody and say damn it we needed it mentally man, it really again is as cool as it is scalping here, scalping there, you know there's a big difference getting two, three dollars on a tesla and then getting you know a seven, eight, nine dollar move on in the video, you know what I mean, it just felt so, it felt like a piano was kind of lifted on all the trader's shoulders and we were finally able to stay in a position that lasted more than three minutes and that's what she said. So let's talk about today right, Apple really didn't do anything right, it didn't start out, the day today really didn't start out like gangbusters today, I think we could all agree on that, you know Apple gapped up, it went right to that 7680, matter of fact the high the day today was 7677, I still like it for tomorrow okay, it never confirmed that, I was like oh god they pulled Apple, let's see what happens next, Amazon you know it got above 3255 traded to like 3270s and that was it, they pulled Amazon and I'm like oh my god again another day we just can't get out of this range, just keep scalping, keep scalping, keep scalping and then slowly but surely guys we finally got the gift of all gift and that's called macro daily channels and this is where the day went from okay to being high right, it was definitely high so let's talk about it, AMD rockstar today, 130, 13020, 13006 was the earnings highs, needs to confirm those highs, 3085 is the pre-market highs, could see 3250 on this interval, again all you guys, everybody should be in runners for tomorrow, I don't care how much stock you have, you should be in runners, this thing absolutely went bananas, here's the 130 which was the earnings highs and I think it's going to see if the market continues tomorrow it should see 130, it should see a 134 handle which is the 50-day moving average, great, great move today into the 133 level, great move, phenomenal, phenomenal move, Qualcomm 18180, 182 needs to build, here was Qualcomm right, we're just going kind of pivot by pivot right, so it took out the 18180, 182 area traded up to 184, Qualcomm has a lot more room to go, again in case if we continue to rally which so far so good, so that one nuts, Facebook again it was just a matter of time, this wasn't really my thing, okay I was AMD'd up and the video'd up, I mean this wasn't really my thing, but boy oh boy, Facebook really took off, if you're still in this thing, this thing looks really good, they started coming for the 230, 240 and the 250 weeklies, look the stock is down 100 something points, what do you think, can't run up 20 points, so here was the pivot right here, 226 needs to build, if you're in this thing, great job, so 226 went to 233 and change, if Facebook can reclaim today's highs tomorrow, you could see 240, 250 in this name, if the market continues, AFRM went absolutely bananas today, AFRM reports tomorrow, they came for the 74, 74 weeklies, the 85 weeklies, 69 needs to build, AFRM went absolutely bananas right, so here is the whole 69 area, stock went to 75 after hours, this thing is trading 76, 77, huge, huge move on AFRM, they report tomorrow after the close, Apple again just didn't do anything today, again here was the out of the money buyers coming in on earnings, the video, huge pivot here, 257, 50 supply makes themselves, this is from people yesterday who were long overnight from the 52 area, the next big level, this is where the trade just went bananas, confirms on February 2nd highs of 258, 17 for push this 262, 263, that was the first supply, they were coming in incredible, I mean really, really incredible, they were coming in for the 260, the 265, the 270s, the 275, they saw 280s for the following week, so here is the 258, 20s, the stock, you know, stock right now is trading 268 after hours, just a magnificent move, look at this, it broke out here, just never, just never want to turn back, just phenomenal, phenomenal move on NVIDIA, Amazon needs to wake its ass up, I don't know what the hell it's doing, here is AMD, 131 push, then 132 push, then it's trading 133 and change after the close, then I had a dentist appointment, I came back a little bit before 2 o'clock, Facebook, a buyer came in here, a buyer came in for a thousand of the March 250 calls, again, they're looking for an extension of this dead cat balance, I mean just phenomenal, just absolutely phenomenal, AMD and NVIDIA, Facebook, AFRM, Qualcomm just everything went nuts, with God's help tomorrow, the big deal pre-market is the CPI, the CPI tomorrow, hopefully the bulls can withstand any body blow if the number is weak and engulf any bad news, because the greatest sentiment, the greatest clue if a market is good is if it stands bad news, so now that we're over the 200-day moving average, part due, can we hold the little love and get some love for the good guys for a little bit longer, guys have a great night, God bless, great job today, I will see you tomorrow, take care.


Let's take a look at the right hand rule for the force on a current carrying wire. For this video I'm actually using the web camera and an actual right hand, and I've got it set up so that it should look on the screen like a normal right hand. If I take my general rule and here's a nice cartoon one so I can write things out, my thumb represents the direction of the current. So I'll move my thumb in whichever direction the current is going. My fingers, just like our previous rule, represent the magnetic field and then the force, the flat part of my hand, is going to show the direction the force is going. Is it moving up towards out of the page, out of the camera? Am I moving to the left, to the right? Got to remember to flip things around. Now I'm working in a little bit more limited space here, so it's going to look a little strange, but hopefully you can follow along with your own hand. So let's start off with a case where I've got the magnetic field in a region of space moving upwards. If I have a current carrying wire in that region of space, I could have it such that its current is flowing along towards the right. So this is very much like what I had my hand showing before. So again, my fingers are pointed upwards, and then I rotate my hand around until my fingers are still pointed upwards, but now my thumb is pointed off towards the right. In this case, what I see is my force comes up out of my palm, and so that means for this particular case, I've got a force out of the page, screen, whatever you want to refer to that as. If I had one that was moving to the left, then again, my fingers have got to point upwards, and I rotate my hand until my thumb is pointing over towards the left. The palm of my hand is going to push down, and that means for this case, the force would be in to the paper. Okay, let's take another look at another one. Let's say I have a magnetic field which is pointed off towards the left, and I'm going to do a couple of different currents for this one. So for example, I want a current which is pointed towards the right. Now, if I got my fingers over there, physically, my thumb is not going to point all the way over in that direction. It just doesn't bend that way, even being double-jointed, and so we look at this and we realize that the angle between these two particular ones well, that's 180 degrees, and if I go back to my thinking on my formula, the sign of 180 degrees is zero, so this is no force. And again, you have to have the current trying to go across the magnetic field lines, otherwise there's no force. Okay, so let's stick with the same force over here, moving with the magnetic field to the left, and let's say I've got a current moving upwards. Fingers, rotate around to be in that direction, and okay, I got to flip it over so my thumb is going with the current. That's again a case of a force going out. Okay, it's a little hard to follow these on camera, but you keep practicing. Okay, so let's take a look at this magnetic field. Okay, the first thing that you want to remember is that when I see the dots, that means my B field is pointed out towards you. You're seeing the very, very tips of the arrows. So if I've got a magnetic field pointed outwards, I can put my wire anywhere flat along this page, and it's going to be going across the magnetic field lines. So let's try one like this. Okay, so my fingers are going to have to point up towards the camera, and when I've got them pointed towards the camera, I need to have my thumb pointed over here towards the side. It's kind of hard to see, but when you get everything lined up, fingers pointed towards the camera, thumb pointing over here towards the right, then what I see is my force is downwards. Okay, one more question here. Let's say I've got a magnetic field pointed in, and I have got a current pointed upwards. Which direction is the force? Figure this out to collaboratively, together as a class. Fill this one in on your worksheet. We're going to stop the video now, and we'll move on with the next part in just a moment.
