00:39 This could be any town, anywhere, anytime.
00:42 Because here, just as everywhere else, one third of the population are aquamaniacs.
00:49 This is the documented case history of a typical aquamaniac.
00:55 We shall call him Mr. X.
00:57 This is his home.
00:59 But it wasn't always like this.
01:01 Not so long ago, it was a well-kept, modest dwelling.
01:05 Promptly at 7.30 every morning, Mr. X said goodbye to his family.
01:12 Bye-bye!
01:13 So long, Daddy.
01:15 And left for work.
01:16 Always walked, claiming the exercise kept him fit.
01:20 But this was not altogether true.
01:23 [Music]
01:25 Secretly, Mr. X liked to walk by a place that sold boats.
01:32 At first, it seemed harmless enough.
01:35 But the human body is about two-thirds water.
01:39 Some believe it's water on the brain that drives a man to boating.
01:46 Not me, boy.
01:47 I got willpower.
01:49 I can take a boat or leave it.
01:51 [Music]
01:59 Hey, give me one for the road.
02:04 Ah, yes.
02:06 Just one for the road.
02:09 How those words have altered men's lives.
02:12 [Music]
02:17 Well, son, you're going to learn plenty about the briny blue.
02:21 I'm going to teach you how to tie knots and show you all about seamanship.
02:25 Gee, swell, Dad.
02:27 Then I'm going to teach you how to water ski.
02:29 [Music]
02:34 Hey, a mast, you lubbers.
02:36 Hey, quit your pushing.
02:38 I will base my binnacle.
02:40 [Music]
02:55 Stand by to cast off, matey.
02:59 Aye, aye, sir.
03:00 Anchors away.
03:02 [Music]
03:11 Whee!
03:12 Full speed astern.
03:14 [Music]
03:18 Well, gill all me for a swaft.
03:22 [Music]
03:29 Yippee, Dad.
03:30 Chisel float, Dad.
03:33 Dad.
03:34 Dad.
03:37 Mr. X had much to learn about the ocean.
03:40 For example, the effect salt water has on metal, et cetera, commonly called rust.
03:46 [Music]
03:52 Where you been, Pop?
03:54 Oh, just parking the car, son.
03:57 The skis, Dad.
03:58 Put them on.
04:00 Sure, son.
04:01 And now you're going to see some real fancy skiing.
04:07 All you got to do is hang on.
04:10 Skiers ready on the starting line.
04:13 You're on the clock.
04:15 Here's the countdown.
04:17 Five.
04:18 Come on, Dad.
04:19 Hurry.
04:20 You got to get in the race.
04:21 Race?
04:22 What race?
04:23 Now, wait a minute, son.
04:26 [Screaming]
04:27 They're away.
04:29 And they're jockeying for position.
04:31 Wait a minute.
04:32 Hold it just a minute.
04:33 Here comes a late starter.
04:35 And he's closing in the league ahead with Steve.
04:39 Stop.
04:40 Stop the boat.
04:41 Yes.
04:42 Yes.
04:43 He is second biggest driver for more speed.
04:46 Stop.
04:48 Get up.
04:49 Get up.
04:52 [Screaming]
04:54 [Grunting]
04:58 [Screaming]
05:00 [Grunting]
05:05 Get up.
05:06 Wait for me.
05:07 [Screaming]
05:13 There they go around the marker.
05:15 And here comes that late starter.
05:17 Oh, heading for the can.
05:19 He's not.
05:20 Oh, no.
05:21 Now he's dropping back.
05:22 He's--oh, no.
05:23 No, he is not going to make it.
05:24 Keep on going, Dad.
05:25 We can beat him.
05:30 And now for jump number one.
05:33 Boys are making some fine jumps.
05:35 Dang fine.
05:36 And here comes that Mr. X again.
05:38 He's--he's in the air.
05:40 And he's pulling out in front again.
05:43 Ladies and gentlemen, this boy knows all the tricks that aren't in the book.
05:53 [Screaming]
06:06 Wait a minute, Bump Team.
06:07 Here comes Mr. X again.
06:09 The miraculous recovery.
06:12 Heading into the slalom at a terrific rate of speed.
06:16 No, he'll never make it.
06:17 He's going much too fast.
06:19 He's too--no, he'll never--
06:21 Oh, he's magnificent.
06:24 It's a new speed record for the slalom.
06:27 [Screaming]
06:37 Dad, that's great.
06:41 Mr. X is closing back to me once again.
06:44 No, he's lost it.
06:45 No, no, no, no, he's not going to make a turn.
06:47 He's not making a turn.
06:48 He's done for.
06:49 That old man just took an enormous turn.
06:52 A near catastrophe into a marvelous piece of land.
06:56 He's slightly off course.
06:59 You've lost sight of him, probably.
07:03 George, can you see him anymore?
07:06 Help!
07:07 Get me down out of here!
07:10 [Explosion]

07:25 [Music]
07:38 [Screaming]
07:48 [Music]
08:03 [Screaming]
08:07 Here he comes, Mr. X from out of nowhere.
08:11 Heading straight for the finish line.
08:13 He's over.
08:14 He's the winner.
08:16 Everybody listen to that crowd.
08:19 [Cheering]
