and now today's adventure of outerscope 1 a staggering shock another strange
world and we can't find people anywhere on it nobody around anywhere nothing
about machines oh gosh they talk and
they feel things to heaven save us what kind of machines can these be my dear
young humans is absolutely no reason to be alarmed naturally we feel and speak we also see
and hear why ever should we not we are at the highest intelligence calling
impossible it didn't answer us of course we heard you but erratically made but you must
recall young man you were shouting for people creatures like yourselves fear not
people living machines I specialized in
mathematical problems I must admit though it sounds immodest I'm an
absolute whiz at numbers and this dear machine when I saw it is my mate Monica
I am an expert in maps and diagrams I can make a map of anything in existence
now you must meet our son baby Beck he's young yet of course but he shows great
promise I'm a combination machine I can already make naps and dinah games like
mama Levesque and also whiz it numbers like Papa day when I grow up I shall be the most
intelligent machine in all of technovic technovic is the name of this lab it is
inhabited entirely by living machines that's impossible we're all the people people who run the
machines there are no people we don't need them we take care of ourselves you
must be lying machines can't take care of themselves it takes humans to build and make them
go not on technovic we are not like machines on earth on technovic we live
and grow we have feelings and thoughts we are not run by people but if there
aren't any people here or in terrible trouble what do you mean my dear please
tell me all about it people to tell us
the way home human there was a long ago
home well of course the last dear what can you expect from humans after all
humans aren't as intelligent as we are well if they had even the tiniest amount of sense they'd stop licking the humans
and can do us for help but of course we wouldn't think of it they don't trust us that mama Beck machine is right I don't
trust them one bit I don't either oh if only there were people here there's something funny about this
living machines can't run without people they don't have any brains but Eleanor
the little one he cried I didn't know machines could cry they can't cry it's impossible
the chick well I don't think they're real machines I bet I bet they got
people inside working the lights and the dials and making the voices that's it I'm sure you're right really
it explains everything but why would they do it what's the point I'm not gonna find out
give me that screwdriver hey what are you doing it I'm gonna unscrew them and
see who's inside smart idea Edgar you'll catch them in the act look who's coming back well family think
avec we find what you say about yourselves very interesting so interesting that we want to do a little
checking oh my goodness we want to examine you more closely but that
screwdriver away young man I think you
really means it young man don't touch us with
you could hurt us oh you're making a big
mistake we were about the directions home Edgar did you hear that I know
you're in here where are you
[Music]
to be continued next time mama Veck makes an offer
[Music]
it's the or italian tired [Music]
I'm Bill Withers and I'm a singer and a songwriter record producer for my own
pleasure and incidentally that's the way I make my living I was born in a place called slab fork West Virginia I lived
there till I was maybe three or four years old when I was a little boy there
were always a lot of rocks around because I come from the coal mining country and there were a lot of exposed
rocks around because somebody was always bigger than the ground in one form another one of the ways that seemed to
get rid of some of the excess energy that we had as little boys is we would just throw rocks it had anything at
birds although men none of us have a hidden he I don't think we ever expected
to hit any I got into music mostly from watching other people singing and
thinking why if they can sing probably I can sing too music to me is primarily a way of saying
things to large groups of people which I've never had the opportunity to do before and also to entertain I guess
I think hobbies can help you to build a work ethic in a way the way that I make
my living is a hobby which I think of hobbies is a nice way to ease into the
work responsibilities that will come later in your life
oh yeah let me swing around how long
have you been driving this whole good five years now yeah can I write back down are you gonna be going back pretty
soon have you about fifty or five minutes we argue right back yeah well hang out if you know okay my
grandmother used to tell me about riding on the trolley you know we didn't have any trolleys down where I come from are
coming from coal mining country she tell me about a lot of things cities like New
York you know riding on the subway and going down
south on the train yeah I liked her in fact I made up this song about it you
know we got a wobbly when I sing his song all right if you could stand okay thank you

liked us never since then we've gone back last time we were there we brought in her wood from the woodpile and and
sometimes draw her water we just whatever needs to be done because she
won't ask you to do anything she's just that type of person she said she hadn't cooked anything for
herself in about two weeks she'd just been eating things that she had around so we thought about cooking or something
we cooked cornbread peaches cabbage sausage potatoes and peace Lord would
think that we thank thee for this food court we're about to eat and thank thee for friends and the day in Jesus name

it I'm now 88 has been that long you got spring fever and airy and my name is
rubber head I can draw on it with leg
for any line you can have a real good time rubber doc doc what's that ruler
it's my new instant on remote control solid-state portable TV with stereophonic sound twin antenna color
control and a real beauty and extra fine fine tuning I'll just plug it in and you
must have blown a fuse no power no lights no TV no kidding there we are
we were powerless mr. Ammer itís was nothing to do not at all you could have
pretended you were early immigrants to America they had no electricity but lots of things to keep them busy early
immigrants they lived in this country about 350 years ago in houses very
different from what we see today what did they look like they looked like that it's a log house with a fireplace and a
thatched roof can we make one mr. Ammer itis we can try but it's not easy first this pattern are you ready rub
ahead up and Adam draw a box too I divide it like this you'll see why to
them right and then add the half-inch flap again make two triangles over here
cut it out are you finished bear on corrugated
cardboard place our shape outline cutaway fold and tape now fold the edges
of a paper bag cut it open make fringes and not it's not adjust the size staple
to the roof overlap another without a golf when we get to the center of the
roof you switch do it again without a hitch take a piece of cardboard cut and fold here's our
chimney good is gold open the door won't you rest a while here's our house
pretend that you lived here centuries ago there'd be no TV or radio as an
early immigrant you would have found yourself using things which were right around they were quick to learn to cut
out Logs with a to handle saw make maple sugar carve out a boat to smoke meat
churn milk make candles and soap crush apples into cider to pickle and preserve
the many foods they would serve I'm convinced we're heading back towards their time why do you say that rubber
head well with today's shortages with conservation recycling and interest in
the environment we're all beginning to live more like the early immigrants well
that's the way it was folks [Music]
why don't you make a new friend make a new friend make a new friend today why
don't you make a new friend make a move then make a new friend today
why was Karen my grandpa gave me a pic crap my friend Jack came over to see it
what does he eat so stay like digital conflicts to put milk and sugar on no
it's just little flakes I pour the water
hello papa
oh yeah
[Music]
your grandfather taking your shoes off Hughie's does that much for just feet
hurt I don't think so where did you come from Japan maybe then
how she in Japan how are you hi
Janson something funny today what is funny she saw grandpa take off her shoes
and she said that was P with Japanese people do that's right you should do it
too it's more polite she said they
didn't wear shoes in Japan where did she learn that in Japan everybody wears
shoes but they take them off when they go inside it's a custom like shaking
hands when you greet someone grandpa does it because he learned to do it when he was little
there's nothing strange about that we have Japanese customs in our family like
eating with chopsticks or eating a big breakfast on New Year's Day you know we devote to other people
not really every family has its own customs that they've learned from their
parents and grandparents I'm sure jams family does too
let's go play the crab did you ever put him in the bathtub I don't think so I
don't feel too good today yo stomachache I think so well okay I'll
see you tomorrow I don't forget better goodbye
my god why do you take off your shoes
well let me explain
when I was a little boy in Japan we live in a house even from these houses
instead of door in windows we had chosen it worked just like a sliding door
except the shorteez covered by singing white papers we did not have carpet like
here in America most of floor space is covered with tatami tatami made from to
regress woven together we sat on a cushion on the tatami floor like this
and ate on a little table about this high we used to sleep on mattresses on
tatami during the day we fold the mattress put it away working on the
tatami with a shoe on it would break inside the house is very
clean because we never run around with shoe so it's a habit for me to take my
fuel now you understand
ha ha grandpa is it true that you used to live
in a paper house and sleep on grass well something like that do you want to see
some pictures yeah I'll be there in a minute
[Music]
[Music]
it's what do you get something nice going on Japanese boil rice rice is
cooked in America any way you please and Gohan that's comprised Japanese will need 1 cup of rice no we're not through
1 cup + 3 tablespoons of cold water to one good sized strainer one measuring
spoons one large spoon and a serving dish to serve it up one heavy pot with a well-fitting top now we're ready to go -
we're ready to stop but one cup of tofu strainers do not use instant batch watch
me planner wash the rice put it in the heavy pot and add the cold w*r you had
let it all stand least half an hour to give it old-fashioned good food power
now we are ready to look and it's a good notion to get someone older to help with
the potion working around the stove just can't be beat when there's someone bigger to help with the heat now it's
time to turn the oklahomaís that's uncooked rice into goo Hana that's something nice put put it on the
postures to eat on high until the water comes to a rolling boil then turn the
heat down
[Music]
now rice off so bad right into your life
[Music]
one thing about being a knows you never know what you're going to smell next
[Music] garlic bread mmm garlic smells the worst
here have a sniff of this fresh peanut butter ice cream to clear your head
peanut butter I can't stand the smell of peanut butter all I can say is you're
missing a good smell you're the one who's missing something you sure you don't have a stuffed nose a
little head cold maybe or something like that I don't really do well guys
not all nose is like the same smells it depends on what you're used to and the
same goes for the way people smell smell is another way that each person is an
original we all have a personal body odor and that's what we are used to
so other people's orders sometimes seem strange to us one reason for these
differences in smell comes from the number of sweat glands we have sweat
glands are tiny holes in the skin which allow water inside to reach the outside
and cool us when we're too hot some of us have more of these sweat glands and
so we sweat more freely [Music]
another difference comes from the food we eat foods which strong smells can add
their odors to the sweating that comes from our skins part of the fun of eating different foods is the many different
smells they have and part of the fun of having many different kinds of people in
the world is that they have a variety of smells true black is beautiful white is
right black white hold it you guys my Danny told me this black-white
business is like seasoning food we need both salt and pepper
[Music]
[Music]
[Laughter] [Music]
[Music]
[Music]
and now today's adventure of outerscope one mom avec makes an offer we're still
a technovic and Egger is trying to see what makes the machines work I know
you're in here where are you are you all
right wake up I go wake up wake up come
on I can't hear anything he doesn't seem to be breathing please
Edgar wake up I'll give you my body oh no you don't suppose he's passed away do
you poor Aker look Betty he's waking him up
come on where am I you're in technovic remember the place with all the machines
oh yeah I remember i unscrewed that big machine m-mom avec what I tried to find
the person who makes her work but yeah what happened before I could get my hand away there was that that awful shock
well did you see anybody nobody they'd run without people those
three machines really are alive Hey well it says she said about directions home
are you kidding those things couldn't tell us how to get anywhere why not she said she was an expert man that's hey
Dad you better put that back together and see if it light up but you don't do it you're asking for trouble
oh all right but it's just the machine
oh it's you
hey that was some Shack you gave me well of all the nerve I didn't give you any shock you did it
yourself you could have hurt us all very badly now we're wiser oh yes the directions if
you want to go home we can show you how we want to be friends with what is this
anyway this is a gesture of brotherhood between technovic under thank you baby
Vic thank you oh there's something funny about this I don't trust them me neither
I wonder what they're up to Popovic Sigma Epsilon to the 10th power times the square root of Omega under its
tangent the directions of those they don't make any sense maybe BEC take the excess burrito better
Kappa graph with the gamma decline for a young boy she did it again she's spoken of Cole just because you
don't understand it doesn't mean it's a curl now the result [Music]
these directions should be perfectly clear they sure are look they fit
together
goodbye babies Akbar thanks little direction by Bart I can family's income
back you know I wouldn't follow those
directions for a million bucks they're trying to trick us because of what I did to them
I think so too it's a plot why should they help us maybe they just want to
help us they have feelings too well I only know they're clever very clever too
clever they want to confuse us so we'll never get home well I believe the sync effects they
feel sorry for us because we're lost how can you believe something that isn't human it doesn't matter if they aren't
here they wanna be friends with us these are good directions well I'm not gonna
follow those directions will lead us
away from home wait a minute if they're trying to lead us away from
home then we should turn the directions backwards and do just the opposite of
what they say that way we'd end up right back on earth okay let's do it don't do
it Willy follow the directions no I thought it all out we're gonna use these directions
backwards please Willy I want to go home
now ready for liftoff hooray please listen we're making an awful mistake
[Music]
to be continued next time the end of the
rainbow hi I'm Larry Garcia and my work
is building all sorts of things out of wood I'm a carpenter I'm on my way to
work right now in my job I get to build the frame and walls on houses and
buildings carpenters use a lot of tools like this
tape measure is my most important tool [Music]
with it I know how long board should be so that I can cut them to the right size with my
electric saw [Music]
now that it's cut I'll use my hammer to pound it into place everything we do has
to be straight up and down but it's hard to tell just by looking so I use a leveler and it shows me when
the board is just right and to make a straight line I use a chalk stream full tight I can mark a straight line really
easy for the next wall the backbone of a house is its frame it has to be strong
straight and well-made if the frame is good a home will last for a long time
being a carpenter is good hard work there is nothing like the feeling of standing back and seeing what you just
built it feels good it feels good to know people are going to live in this
house and that I did a good job for them when I was in high school I took a lot of classes in woodshop it started out as
a hobby for me but I decided I liked working with wood so much that I became a carpenter and it's still my hobby I
build many different things here at home in my workshop this is a blueprint that
shows me exactly how to build a special marks to display a sculpture that are making for an artist friend of mine
[Music]
when I choose the wood I have to be very careful and make sure it's not warped our Bend would always comes in uneven
sizes and I have to measure it and mark the right length for the Box the same as when I'm building a house well this
table saw I can cut wood straight across for it an angle and so that I can make the corners of the box match to me it's
important to make my work look the best I can because it represents me on this
box I won't use any nails I'll use glue to hold it together when it is finished the neon light will go inside with a
mirror on top besides making things for my friends I like to build old-fashioned
wooden toys because it's fun and I really like toys this is a rocking horse
this is a bank that makes money disappear [Music]
and here is a jack-in-the-box [Music]
and my name is rubber head I can draw on it with leg I'm fine for any line you
can have a real good time Rob a dog duh oh here comes the ruler I'm Footloose
and fancy-free hee hee ruler of all that's me
a star is born all right all right don't just stand there
it's napping - all right hot how about a hot now this is an
example of origami ruler right origami
that's that's the art of paper folding
right the art of paper folding the Japanese have always liked to work with
paper and when Japanese people started coming to the United States over a hundred years ago they brought their
traditions with them I like to make things out of paper - like sailboats on
paper hats and planes paper folding as well as folding cloth has been popular
in Europe for a long time it's fun to make a bird like this what do we do take
a piece of paper make it 8 inches square
fold the bottom of the diamond to the top up here flatten it out what do you
see it looks just like a triangle to me fold
up the bottom once again an inch and a half right and then turn your paper over
okay that's fine
flip the flap up just above the line fold the figure over from left to right
place it upside down man that's our site
this is the place to exercise care get your trusty friends make a line right
there then the paper up to the mark we made have the other side meet it don't
be afraid now open it up and upon my
word what do we see why it's a bird one
more thing for us to do there's your beak that's it
we're through dynamite mr. Ammer itis
hey I thought I heard that bird talk don't be ridiculous
whoever heard of a talking bird whoever heard of a talking ruler konichiwa
konichiwa that's Japanese for hello
konichiwa hello look his wings are flapping it's a sign he wants to go
sayonara that's Japanese for goodbye sayonara sayonara sayonara
[Music]
know that word have stories the Cherokee
Comanche and decree the Shawnee Snohomish and Sioux
there is no single Native American culture no one Native American way of doing
things Apache Mohawk Oneida the Native Americans come from many different
nations and tribes each one different individuals unique before the white man
came nearly a thousand languages were spoken in North America more than all
the languages of the old world put together what happened when the people of one Native American tribe met the
people of another how did they speak to one another if their language is differed they developed a very simple
and highly effective way of speaking called signed language and it looked like this do you know what she's saying
let's see if we can figure it out I
walking fast walking fast means running deer
i9 years Native American
girl I go house white man look
this sign means it is in my heart or I know all of these signs together house
white man look no mean school in
Tao sign-language leaves out all the little
words we have to fill in those ourselves but all the important words are there
did you understand it let's try it again faster this time and I'll fill in the
little words as we go along I am running dear I am a nine year old Native
American girl I go
to school in town
I sign language speak meaning I talk in
sign language sign language is like drawing pictures
with your hands some signs are easy this
sign means horse to make the sign for riding make your finger look as if it
were riding on your hand this is the sign for old
and this is the sign for baby some signs
are poetic this means the earth is covered up it's the sign for night
this is the sign for good it means level with my heart to say sad make the sign
for heart then lower your hand meaning my heart is on the ground some signs of
fun put your hands up to your head with your fingers spread apart like antlers and you've made the sign for
deer this is the sign for fish and this
means laughs there are hundreds of words in sign language but the Native
Americans had no single word for hello they would say something much nicer like
my heart is happy to see you nor do they
have a word for goodbye that's one sign they borrowed from the white man
[Music]
