My Master, the Rainmaker
[.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
Hello.
Oh, hi, Roge, how are you? No, no, I'm afraid I can't today.
I promised Jeannie I'd take her on a picnic.
Huh, it's raining? Well, it can't be raining.
The weatherman forecast sunshine today.
[THUNDER RUMBLES.]
And it's raining.
Yeah, well, Jeannie had her heart set on this.
Yeah, I'll see you I'll see you later.
Master, I was not sure whether you preferred chicken or lamb or beef or veal or goose, so We have them We have them all.
Oh, yes, master.
And a few little extra surprises.
[GIGGLES.]
I am ready.
Well, Jeannie, I'm afraid I have a surprise for you too.
I am so excited about our picnic.
Oh, master, you do not know how I have been looking forward to it.
The last picnic I went on was with Omar Khayyám.
Oh, no, no kidding, really? Mm-hm.
Oh, and believe me, master, that was no picnic.
Uh, Jeannie, why don't we have our picnic here in the living room.
Uh, you could blink up a tent and But you said we would go to the beach.
Yes, yes, I know I did, Jeannie, but something's come up.
[THUNDER CRASHES.]
Or, rather, something's coming down.
It's raining.
Oh! It's raining.
Don't worry, Jeannie.
First nice day I have off, we'll go on that picnic.
Do you promise? Yeah, I promise.
[GIGGLES.]
[.]
[.]
[.]
[BOTH LAUGHING.]
Let us go, master.
Well how 'bout that? That is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
How do you change the weather like that? Oh, it is simple.
I think hot.
You think hot.
You [LAUGHING.]
It would be great if we could control the weather.
Oh, well, that is easy, master, but would you not get tired of sunshine all the time? Yeah, I suppose I would.
It used to get pretty cold up in Wisconsin where I was.
Oh, do you enjoy the cold weather? Yeah, yeah.
I must say, some of the happiest days of my life were spent in the snow and the The cold in Wisconsin.
[MAGIC BOINGS.]
Like that, master? Huh? [CHUCKLING.]
Hey, that's wonderful, Jeannie.
That's, uh Doctor Bellows! Hello, sir.
Major Nelson.
I don't know quite how to tell you this, but it's snowing on your house.
Oh, yes, I see.
Uh Well, it's probably one of those freak summer storms we're having.
I could make myself understand why it might snow in, uh, Florida in July.
[LAUGHING.]
Yes, well, it's the high pressure But I can't make myself understand why it's only snowing on your house, Major Nelson.
The sun is shining on the other houses.
Oh, yes, yes.
[MAGIC BOINGS.]
Well, now, it's, uh Well, it's just stopped snowing, sir.
Uh, please come in.
Let me, uh I'm, uh, dying to hear your explanation of this, major.
So am I, sir.
So am I.
I'm I'm working on some top-secret experiments.
Well, it's strange that I wasn't advised of it.
Well, I didn't know about it myself until a few minutes ago.
Please, sit down.
That is, I didn't know it would work until a few minutes ago.
It's a very simple procedure of, uh, seeding the silver iodide particles in a low pressure barometrics strata with inverse isobars.
Yes.
Um I, um I would like you to show this to General Peterson.
Well, I'm afraid I can't, sir.
And why not? Well, it's not, uh, completed yet.
You understand.
Understand? Oh, Major Nelson, I haven't understood anything since you arrived at this base, but I will.
I am dedicating myself to understanding you.
Uh, do you understand? [LAUGHING.]
What'd you say? Nothing.
[LAUGHING.]
Major Nelson.
Yes? If you think that this is any laughing matter, you're very much mistaken.
Yeah, but, sir, I-I [LAUGHING.]
[.]
I am not cracking up.
I am not cracking up.
I am not cracking up.
You were caught in a snowstorm at Tony Nelson's house? Yes, General Peterson.
In Florida? In July? That's exactly what I said, sir.
But I tell you it was snowing.
I was there.
Now, what are you gonna do about it, general? I'm gonna give you the rest of the month off, doctor.
I want you to go away.
Away? I don't want to go away.
I just want you to ask Major Nelson why it was snowing on his house this morning.
All right, doctor, come on.
[.]
Hi.
Oh, hi, Roge.
Hey, I hear you had a little, uh, snowstorm over your place this morning.
Oh, where'd you hear that? That from? Well, Dr.
Bellows has been telling everybody on the base.
Why, he's carrying on like a madman.
You better be careful.
Major Healey is right, master.
I would not want to see you in trouble.
I'm not the one that's getting me into trouble.
You're the one that's getting me into trouble, Jeannie.
But you asked for snow.
No, no, I didn't.
All I said was Oh.
[STAMMERING.]
Oh, hello, general.
Well, I guess I better be running along.
Stay right where you are, Major Healey.
Uh, can I talk to you for a minute, Tony? Oh, yes, of course.
Oh, I didn't realize you had company.
Neither did I.
This is Mr [JEANNIE'S VOICE.]
Ali Habeeb.
Uh, Mr.
Habeeb is a A rug salesman.
A weather expert.
Uh, he doesn't look it, but she, uh He's really quite marvelous.
Well, what equipment do you use? Mm, mostly toads.
They're the best.
When a toad croaks seven times in the swamp, when the moon is full, there is going to be a storm.
Can you make it rain or snow? Rain, snow, thunder, you name it.
Uh, of course I cannot make it rain or snow.
What do you think I am? A genie? [CHUCKLING.]
[LAUGHING.]
It's certainly nice seeing you, sir.
I-I hope you'll drop Right, thank you.
Thank you.
You've been most kind.
Tony, do you have any way of changing the weather? I mean, can you make it snow? No, sir.
I can't even make it smog.
That's what I thought.
Doctor.
I know when I've been snowed on, general, and I was snowed on this morning.
And you did it.
He snowed on me.
Admit it.
If you say so, sir.
I snowed on him.
Did you hear that? Yes, I heard it, and, doctor, I think you better come along with me and try not to excite yourself.
I am not excited.
I tell you, it was snowing.
And it was only snowing on Major Nelson's house.
All the other houses were bathed in sunshine.
It was the strangest thing I've ever seen.
All the houses bathed in sunshine and the snow falling on Major Nelson's [.]
[LAUGHING.]
Roge! Roge! They gone yet? Oh.
[LAUGHING.]
I tell you.
You know, I'm gonna have to get rid of Jeannie for a while, or I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown.
Why don't you ask her to go away for a while.
I've tried.
Oh, I've tried.
I've tried everything.
I guess you're stuck then, huh? Yeah, I guess so.
I've tried everything except I've tried everything except psychology.
Wait a minute.
I know exactly how I'll get her to leave.
How? What does she love most in the world next to me? Me.
No, no, her family.
Are you ready for our picnic, master? Huh? Oh, in just a minute, Jeannie.
Roger was just telling me about his family, weren't you, Roge? Aw.
Oh, yeah, family.
About how your mother and your father and how you haven't seen 'em in a year and you miss them.
Haven't seen my mother and father in a year, and I miss 'em.
Well, I have not seen my mother and father in, oh, [CHUCKLES.]
Well, I would rather not say.
It must be hard on 'em, Jeannie, not seeing you.
Oh, yes.
We've always been a very close family.
Oh, I would love to see them.
Oh, I get it.
Bet you're gonna trick her into Too bad you can't visit 'em, at least for a little while.
I'm sure they'd enjoy it.
Mm, so would I.
And my little baby sister.
Your little baby sis No kidding.
She must be grown by now.
Mm.
I suppose so.
Master.
Would, uh? Would you mind? If I went back for a visit with my family? You're still the old master.
[LAUGHS.]
How long would you be gone, Jeannie? Oh, a A week.
A week? Well, that's not very long.
Why don't you take two or maybe even three.
Oh, you are the most wonderful, marvelous master in the whole world! [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Shh, look out.
Ahem.
Come in.
Uh, excuse me, major.
Sir.
I'm Sergeant Ben Roberts.
Can I talk to you a minute? Oh, sure, sure.
Come on in.
Well, I gotta be running along anyway.
Mother and father, oh, clever, oh.
Uh, what's on your mind? You like a cup of coffee? That would be nice.
Uh, I'm afraid this might sound a little bit foolish, and I wouldn't even bother'd ya No, no, no, go ahead, tell me what's on your mind.
Well, I was in Dr.
Bellows' office this morning, I heard him tell me that you could control the weather.
Sorry.
Uh, well, now, you oughta know that nobody can control the weather.
That's what I thought, and I'd of forgotten about it right then and there, except that, uh, he was so positive about it.
Yeah, well, I think maybe you You misunderstood him.
Anything else on your mind? Oh, no, sir.
I'm sorry again to bother you.
But major, I hope you'll excuse me.
Oh, yeah, that's all right.
It was just the only way I could think of to save my brother.
Uh, to save your brother? Well, yes, sir.
Uh, my brother and my sister-in-law, they got this here farm in Four Corners, Alabama Yeah? It ain't much, but it's all they got in the world.
Anyway, I got this letter from my brother Yeah? Yesterday.
Saying as to how they're gonna lose that farm.
You see, there's been a terrible drought down there all year, not a drop of water.
All his crops drying up and blowing away.
So when I heard Dr.
Bellows talk about you, I, uh Excuse me again for bothering you, sir.
Oh, that's all right, sergeant.
Oh, here, here.
This is Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, that's too bad.
Well He was such a nice man.
Oh, yes, yes, I know.
And his brother is going to lose his farm if we do not do something.
Well, Jeannie, there's not anything we can about it.
There's nothing we can do without getting into an enormous amount of trouble.
Now, you just You just go and visit your mother and father and be happy and have a wonderful time.
Hm? Oh, I will.
Good.
[MAGIC BOINGS.]
Uh, what was? What was that for? You will see, master.
Bye-bye.
Yeah Uh, Jeannie.
[.]
[.]
ROGER: Hey, Tony! How's it goin'? Great, great.
Hey, you're looking awful chipper this morning.
Ah, I never felt better.
I'll buy you a cup of coffee.
Hey, you know, they got a new chick that just moved in next door to our office ROGER: Kidding.
I've gotta talk to you about the flight I've never seen you happier.
I've never been happier.
You want some coffee? I'd love one.
You haven't been this happy in a long time.
I had a good night's sleep last night, Roger.
I woke up refreshed, relaxed.
Look at that hand, steady as a rock, huh? Say, when's Jeannie coming back? Sorry, I Well, I-I don't know.
I think she'll be back in a week or so.
Oh, you heard from her, huh? No, not a word.
Oh.
Morning, Major Nelson! Oh, hello, sergeant.
Morning, sir.
Uh-oh.
Hey, corn.
Oh, thank you.
That's wild, where'd you get this? That's the finest corn in Alabama, sir.
Thank you.
Uh, no, you hang onto that, sir.
[LAUGHING.]
Yes, of course.
Well, who's this for? Uh, it's for you, sir.
For me? Well, thank you very much.
Oh, don't thank me.
It's from my brother.
He and his family just wanted you to know how grateful they are.
How grateful they are? What did you do? Yeah, that's a good question.
What did I do? Oh, you don't have to pretend with me, sir.
It started rainin' an hour after I talked to you.
Oh, that's what that blink was for.
What blink? Oh, nothing, it was just Well, you saved Four Corners, sir.
They're all beholden to you.
Well, you probably even be hearing from them.
Well, sergeant, really I had nothing to do with it.
Honestly, I Oh, yes, sir.
I understand.
This is just between us.
Thanks again, major.
What's this all about anyway? I knew I couldn't trust that girl.
I knew it, I knew it, just as well as I am standing here.
Roger, that man has a brother.
Uh, his brother's farm is drying up and blowing away, and Jeannie made it rain on it.
Well, that's great.
She saved the poor guy's farm, didn't she? And you're not in any trouble.
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
You know what that proves? What? It proves that Jeannie can use her power and not get me into trouble.
Yes? Excuse me, Major Nelson.
I have a delivery for you.
Bring it in, men.
[.]
All right, what is it? Well, there's a lot more, sir.
It's from Four Corners, Alabama.
Sign here, major.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Well, how 'bout this.
It's very nice, I must say.
[SQUEALING.]
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Jeannie! Jean It's good to see you, Dr.
Bellows.
Is it? Yes.
Good evening, Major Healey.
Hello, Dr.
Bellows.
No, thank you.
I can only stay a moment.
Forgive me for intruding like this.
Oh, it's perfectly all right, sir.
What can I do for you? Oh, you could do a lot for me, major.
And one of these days you will.
I had a very unpleasant afternoon with General Peterson.
He can really be a bear, can't he, sir? [LAUGHING.]
He thinks I'm out to get you, Major Nelson.
Oh.
And are you, sir? No.
I don't want to get you, I just want to understand you.
Some men dedicate their lives to science, some men dedicate their lives to politics.
I am dedicating my life to understanding you.
Well, it is really very simple, sir.
Don't bother, major.
You see, I've been making a mistake.
I've never been able to pin you down, but in the future, I will.
I will.
Well, that's all I came to say.
Excuse me.
Awfully friendly of you to do that, sir.
I don't know how deeply you're involved in this, Major Healey, but I warn you: Be careful.
Be very careful.
Good night, gentlemen.
Good night, sir.
Do me a favor, will you, Tony? Huh? What? Snow on him.
Major Nelson.
Huh, yes? Uh, excuse me, major, but this is really urgent.
What is it? It's about Four Corners, sir, or what's left of it.
Yes? Now, I know I asked you to make it rain down there, and I certainly appreciate your help, but, major, this is Oh Well, my brother said the streets turned into rivers.
His farm is 3 feet under water.
The barn floated away this morning.
The barn floated away? ROBERTS: You gotta stop that rain, sir.
Sergeant, I'm doing the best I can One of the tools I use is out of town at the moment, and We'll discuss this at a At a later date.
Just a moment, sergeant.
We'll discuss it right now.
It's really nothing that would interest you, sir.
Interest me? Why, it fascinates me, major.
Uh, from what I just heard, I gather that Sergeant Roberts' brother has a farm.
He asked you to make some rain, you did, and now that you've caused a flood, he's asked you to stop it.
Well, that's the gist Would you say that was an accurate summation, sergeant? Well, uh Yes, sir.
I guess I would.
Well, that's fine.
That's just what I wanted to hear.
I'll see you in my office in 10 minutes.
Uh, yes, sir.
Do you remember I mentioned pinning you down, major? Mm, well, um, that's what I had in mind.
A live witness.
I'll see you in my office in 10 minutes.
I am back, master.
Oh, yes, I see.
Did you think about me? You might say that.
Oh, I missed you, master.
I missed you too.
My father made you this camel pouch, and my mother baked you this cake, and my sister knitted you this sweater.
Oh, master, you were right.
She has grown up.
That's very kind of them, Jeannie.
You can thank them for me when you see them this afternoon.
Hm? This afternoon? Oh, well, I am not going back.
Well, you might as well.
Now, I have a feeling I'm not gonna be around for the next couple of years.
Has something happened, master? Jeannie, why didn't you stop the rain when you left? Rain? Oh, Four Corners.
I left the water running.
There's nothing left of the place.
It's a lake.
And General Peterson's gonna blame me.
Oh, well, it is not your fault.
I will tell him that he can Yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry, master.
Is there anything I can do? It looks like Dr.
Bellows has finally caught me, and this time, he's got A witness.
You're saying that Tony Nelson rained on a town called Four Corners? He not only rained on it, general, he flooded it out.
Doctor, I'm warning you, this is the last time General, I've got him right where I want him.
They're meeting us in my office.
[.]
Boy, when you make it rain, you sure don't fool around, do ya? TONY: I'll try to figure out some way to help your brother and his family.
I'd sure appreciate that.
First, I've got to figure out a way to help myself.
[GIGGLING.]
Now, Major Nelson I'll handle this.
Tony, Dr.
Bellows is under the impression that you can control the weather.
Can you? No, sir, I can't.
Uh, Sergeant Roberts I said I'd handle this.
Yes, general.
Sergeant Roberts, do you have any proof that Major Nelson can make it rain or snow? Well, I haven't any proof, no, sir.
But it sure did come down cats and dogs down in Alabama.
And it was Major Nelson? Doctor! That's all, sergeant.
Yes, sir.
Can you make it rain or snow? No, general.
Yes, you can.
Uh, make it snow.
Dr.
Bellows, honestly Try.
[.]
Snow.
[LAUGHING.]
Thank you, Tony.
Doctor.
I'm sorry about all this, sir.
I'm I'm sure it was all a coincidence.
Snow.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Oh, hello, sergeant.
Major Nelson.
Yeah? My brother just phoned me and nobody understands it, but that lake that used to be his farm Yes, what's the matter now? Well, it's filled with the biggest trout you ever saw.
Trout? And bass and catfish! It's a fisherman's paradise.
Well, my brother and all his friends is rentin' out cabins to tourists and gettin' rich.
Well, that's wonderful.
I just wanted you to know, sir.
Sometimes, I sure like to hear how you do that, major.
Uh, wait right there, sir.
I got a little surprise for you.
Okay.
[GIGGLING.]
Oh.
Jeannie, that was a brilliant idea.
Oh, well, if it makes you happy, master, it makes me happy.
Why do we not go fishing there sometime? No, no, I'd rather not.
But why? Oh, well, frankly, I just don't care for fish much.
Oh.
Look out.
Oh.
Just a little token of my brother's appreciation.
[.]
Bring it in, boys.
Got a whole truckload outside.
Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Uh, I-I-I This is not exactly what I had in mind.
[LAUGHING.]
Oh.
[.]
[PHONE RINGS.]
Hello.
Oh, hi, Roge, how are you? No, no, I'm afraid I can't today.
I promised Jeannie I'd take her on a picnic.
Huh, it's raining? Well, it can't be raining.

Well, I was in Dr.
Bellows' office this morning, I heard him tell me that you could control the weather.
Sorry.
Uh, well, now, you oughta know that nobody can control the weather.
That's what I thought, and I'd of forgotten about it right then and there, except that, uh, he was so positive about it.
Yeah, well, I think maybe you You misunderstood him.
Anything else on your mind? Oh, no, sir.
I'm sorry again to bother you.
But major, I hope you'll excuse me.

Anyway, I got this letter from my brother Yeah? Yesterday.
Saying as to how they're gonna lose that farm.

[.]
[.]
ROGER: Hey, Tony! How's it goin'? Great, great.
Hey, you're looking awful chipper this morning.
Ah, I never felt better.
I'll buy you a cup of coffee.
Hey, you know, they got a new chick that just moved in next door to our office ROGER: Kidding.
I've gotta talk to you about the flight I've never seen you happier.
I've never been happier.
You want some coffee? I'd love one.
You haven't been this happy in a long time.
I had a good night's sleep last night, Roger.
I woke up refreshed, relaxed.
Look at that hand, steady as a rock, huh? Say, when's Jeannie coming back? Sorry, I Well, I-I don't know.
I think she'll be back in a week or so.
Oh, you heard from her, huh? No, not a word.
Oh.
Morning, Major Nelson! Oh, hello, sergeant.
Morning, sir.
Uh-oh.
Hey, corn.
Oh, thank you.
That's wild, where'd you get this? That's the finest corn in Alabama, sir.
Thank you.
Uh, no, you hang onto that, sir.
[LAUGHING.]
Yes, of course.
Well, who's this for? Uh, it's for you, sir.
For me? Well, thank you very much.
Oh, don't thank me.
It's from my brother.
He and his family just wanted you to know how grateful they are.
How grateful they are? What did you do? Yeah, that's a good question.
What did I do? Oh, you don't have to pretend with me, sir.
It started rainin' an hour after I talked to you.
Oh, that's what that blink was for.
What blink? Oh, nothing, it was just Well, you saved Four Corners, sir.
They're all beholden to you.
Well, you probably even be hearing from them.
Well, sergeant, really I had nothing to do with it.
Honestly, I Oh, yes, sir.
I understand.
This is just between us.
Thanks again, major.
What's this all about anyway? I knew I couldn't trust that girl.
I knew it, I knew it, just as well as I am standing here.
Roger, that man has a brother.
Uh, his brother's farm is drying up and blowing away, and Jeannie made it rain on it.
Well, that's great.
She saved the poor guy's farm, didn't she? And you're not in any trouble.
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
You know what that proves? What? It proves that Jeannie can use her power and not get me into trouble.
Yes? Excuse me, Major Nelson.
I have a delivery for you.
Bring it in, men.
[.]
All right, what is it? Well, there's a lot more, sir.
It's from Four Corners, Alabama.
Sign here, major.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Well, how 'bout this.
It's very nice, I must say.
[SQUEALING.]
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Jeannie! Jean It's good to see you, Dr.
Bellows.
Is it? Yes.
Good evening, Major Healey.
Hello, Dr.
Bellows.
No, thank you.
I can only stay a moment.
Forgive me for intruding like this.
Oh, it's perfectly all right, sir.
What can I do for you? Oh, you could do a lot for me, major.
And one of these days you will.
I had a very unpleasant afternoon with General Peterson.
He can really be a bear, can't he, sir? [LAUGHING.]
He thinks I'm out to get you, Major Nelson.
Oh.
And are you, sir? No.
I don't want to get you, I just want to understand you.
Some men dedicate their lives to science, some men dedicate their lives to politics.
I am dedicating my life to understanding you.
Well, it is really very simple, sir.
Don't bother, major.
You see, I've been making a mistake.
I've never been able to pin you down, but in the future, I will.
I will.
Well, that's all I came to say.
Excuse me.
Awfully friendly of you to do that, sir.
I don't know how deeply you're involved in this, Major Healey, but I warn you: Be careful.
Be very careful.
Good night, gentlemen.
Good night, sir.
Do me a favor, will you, Tony? Huh? What? Snow on him.
Major Nelson.
Huh, yes? Uh, excuse me, major, but this is really urgent.
What is it? It's about Four Corners, sir, or what's left of it.
Yes? Now, I know I asked you to make it rain down there, and I certainly appreciate your help, but, major, this is Oh Well, my brother said the streets turned into rivers.
His farm is 3 feet under water.
The barn floated away this morning.
The barn floated away? ROBERTS: You gotta stop that rain, sir.
Sergeant, I'm doing the best I can One of the tools I use is out of town at the moment, and We'll discuss this at a At a later date.
Just a moment, sergeant.
We'll discuss it right now.
It's really nothing that would interest you, sir.
Interest me? Why, it fascinates me, major.
Uh, from what I just heard, I gather that Sergeant Roberts' brother has a farm.
He asked you to make some rain, you did, and now that you've caused a flood, he's asked you to stop it.
Well, that's the gist Would you say that was an accurate summation, sergeant? Well, uh Yes, sir.
I guess I would.
Well, that's fine.
That's just what I wanted to hear.
I'll see you in my office in 10 minutes.
Uh, yes, sir.
Do you remember I mentioned pinning you down, major? Mm, well, um, that's what I had in mind.
A live witness.
I'll see you in my office in 10 minutes.
I am back, master.
Oh, yes, I see.
Did you think about me? You might say that.
Oh, I missed you, master.
I missed you too.
My father made you this camel pouch, and my mother baked you this cake, and my sister knitted you this sweater.
Oh, master, you were right.
She has grown up.
That's very kind of them, Jeannie.
You can thank them for me when you see them this afternoon.
Hm? This afternoon? Oh, well, I am not going back.
Well, you might as well.
Now, I have a feeling I'm not gonna be around for the next couple of years.
Has something happened, master? Jeannie, why didn't you stop the rain when you left? Rain? Oh, Four Corners.
I left the water running.
There's nothing left of the place.
It's a lake.
And General Peterson's gonna blame me.
Oh, well, it is not your fault.
I will tell him that he can Yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry, master.
Is there anything I can do? It looks like Dr.
Bellows has finally caught me, and this time, he's got A witness.
You're saying that Tony Nelson rained on a town called Four Corners? He not only rained on it, general, he flooded it out.
Doctor, I'm warning you, this is the last time General, I've got him right where I want him.
They're meeting us in my office.
[.]
Boy, when you make it rain, you sure don't fool around, do ya? TONY: I'll try to figure out some way to help your brother and his family.
I'd sure appreciate that.
First, I've got to figure out a way to help myself.
[GIGGLING.]
Now, Major Nelson I'll handle this.
Tony, Dr.
Bellows is under the impression that you can control the weather.
Can you? No, sir, I can't.
Uh, Sergeant Roberts I said I'd handle this.
Yes, general.
Sergeant Roberts, do you have any proof that Major Nelson can make it rain or snow? Well, I haven't any proof, no, sir.
But it sure did come down cats and dogs down in Alabama.
And it was Major Nelson? Doctor! That's all, sergeant.
Yes, sir.
Can you make it rain or snow? No, general.
Yes, you can.
Uh, make it snow.
Dr.
Bellows, honestly Try.
[.]
Snow.
[LAUGHING.]
Thank you, Tony.
Doctor.
I'm sorry about all this, sir.
I'm I'm sure it was all a coincidence.
Snow.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Oh, hello, sergeant.
Major Nelson.
Yeah? My brother just phoned me and nobody understands it, but that lake that used to be his farm Yes, what's the matter now? Well, it's filled with the biggest trout you ever saw.
Trout? And bass and catfish! It's a fisherman's paradise.
Well, my brother and all his friends is rentin' out cabins to tourists and gettin' rich.
Well, that's wonderful.
I just wanted you to know, sir.
Sometimes, I sure like to hear how you do that, major.
Uh, wait right there, sir.
I got a little surprise for you.
Okay.
[GIGGLING.]
Oh.
Jeannie, that was a brilliant idea.
Oh, well, if it makes you happy, master, it makes me happy.
Why do we not go fishing there sometime? No, no, I'd rather not.
But why? Oh, well, frankly, I just don't care for fish much.
Oh.
Look out.
Oh.
Just a little token of my brother's appreciation.
[.]
Bring it in, boys.
Got a whole truckload outside.
Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Uh, I-I-I This is not exactly what I had in mind.
[LAUGHING.]
Oh.
[.]
