00:00And now ain't this cute, a war bot.
00:30Hey, hey, Hook, wake up.
00:32Come on, sleepin' beauty, wake up.
00:34Wake up, joint.
00:39Now what? Look, chump.
00:41How come you're throwin' your dough away on them lousy war bonds for?
00:45Why, don't be a stamp.
00:47Cash them in and blow that dough on a good time.
00:50Wait. Wait a minute, Hook.
00:52Pay no heed to that ruffian's words.
00:54You had good reason to register for a war bond allotment.
00:57Now listen to the advice of an old hand.
01:00Old hand, ha.
01:02Why, you angelic boot.
01:04But you know full well you are advising him unwisely.
01:08Oh, yeah?
01:16Oh, you broke my little halo.

01:25You should be ashamed of yourself.
01:27Trying to louse up Mr. Hook's after-the-war security.

01:38When you know full well he should retain them.
01:41And purchase as many more as possible.
01:50Ha, ha!
01:52Now, you just keep on storing those bonds away, son.
01:55And when the time comes for you to climb back into cities,
01:58you'll have a post-war nest egg waiting for you.
02:08Then you can have some new clothes.
02:13And some spending money.
02:17300 bucks.
02:23Or maybe a brand new home with...
02:28And you'll have a...
02:33No, no, that will come later.
02:41All these things will be waiting for you.
02:43If you start your nest egg today.
02:46Look for me.
02:48I'll be waiting for you.
02:50Come in and call for your war bond, officer.
