00:45Well, what can I do for you?
00:47Put that old book away, dad.
00:49Oh, come on.
00:52Are these supposed to be pictures?
00:54What's that?
00:56That, my dear young man, is a picture of the germ that causes tuberculosis.
01:00Tuberculosis?
01:02TB to you.
01:03Oh, that little thing?
01:04From that little thing comes that awful disease?
01:07It doesn't look like much to me.
01:09No?
01:10No.
01:12Do you know that that little thing is alive?
01:15Ah, blow me down!
01:17Quiet, please.
01:20And it eats, as you do.
01:22And it breathes.
01:24Oh, if that germ could only talk, what a story it would tell.
01:28But germs don't talk.
01:30No, but suppose he could.
01:32Suppose I could invent in my laboratory a special radio
01:37that could hear what he might have to say.
01:42Yes.
01:44That's an idea, all right.
01:47Good morning, good morning, good morning.
02:14How are you all?
02:16All right.
02:17Yeah, well, I suppose you'd like a piece of this banana, wouldn't you?
02:23That's good.
02:24Come along.
02:25Come on.
02:26There you are.
02:28There you are.
02:30That's a boy.
02:32Now where's my Julius?
02:35Come on, Julius.
02:37Come on.
02:40There he is.
02:42Well, now, here.
02:44Here.
02:45Here, have a piece of carrot.
02:48It's fresh and full of vitamins.
02:55Well, well.
02:56Come along, Arthur.
02:58Come on.
03:00Come on, Julius.
03:02Come on.
03:03That's it.
03:05Now, can you all keep very quiet today?
03:11Because I want to talk to T.B. the germ this morning.
03:15Yes, sir.
03:16T.B. the germ.
03:21There you are.
03:28Well, I've hit him with my new germ radio invention hooked up to my microscope.
03:41And I've learned germ language too.
03:45Clever fellow, these germs.
04:10Now quiet, everybody.
04:41Hello, hello, T.B.
04:46Why, hello there, professor.
04:50Well, well, there you are.
04:53Tell us about yourself.
04:55Sure.
04:56I love to talk about myself.
05:00Exciting.
05:01Full of adventure.
05:03Your incubator up there is a pretty snug place for an old-timer like me, professor.
05:08But I remember when I was a youngster, I lived in the lung of a nice lady, Aunt Matilda.
05:16Yes, yes, of course, old trooper.
05:18I remember Aunt Matilda.
05:20She never seemed very sick, but she did have a cough.
05:24Never thought much about it, though.
05:26Didn't she have a little nephew?
05:29Right-o.
05:31Edgar Watt.
05:33Edgar Watt.
05:35Edgar Watt.
05:37Edgar Watt.
05:39Edgar Watt.
05:41Didn't she have a little nephew?
05:43Right-o.
05:45Edgar was his name.
05:47Dear Aunt Matilda used to feed him, taste his food for him, to be sure it wasn't too hot.
05:53That's how I got into little Ed's lungs.
05:57Watch, professor.
05:59Howdy.
06:04And once in Edgar's mouth, of course I made my way into his lungs.
06:11Ah!
06:13Well, what happened then?
06:16Gee, professor, that was a nice place.
06:20Edgar's lung.
06:22So warm and pink and cozy.
06:27Of course I was lonesome, sort of.
06:31So I got busy.
06:33You know, we germs raise big families and fast too.
06:39All we need is a doctor.
06:43A doctor.
06:45A doctor.
06:47A doctor.
06:49A doctor.
06:51A doctor.
06:54All we need is a dark place in the body where soap and water can't get at us.
07:03Oh, how soap and water kill us.
07:08And Edgar knew nothing about all this?
07:11Oh, no.
07:13I guess he didn't even feel sick.
07:16But soon the cells in Edgar's body got busy and started to build walls around us.
07:24Oh, yes. That's how the human body protects itself.
07:28The cells of which it is made lock up the germs so they cannot scatter elsewhere in the body.
07:34So there we were.
07:36All bottled up.
07:38Jugged like ordinary thieves.
07:43Edgar's body won that battle.
07:46Oh, me.
07:49Uh-huh. That's what we scientists call a tubercle.
07:53Uh, uh, tu-tu-what?
07:57A tubercle.
07:59A tubercle in a medical book looks like this.
08:03A firm, round capsule.
08:05And in the center, the germ.
08:11But go on, PB. What happened next?
08:14Well, pined and starved.
08:17Some of us managed to stay alive.
08:20For years, I guess.
08:25Edgar grew up to be a handsome young man.
08:29Had a girl, too.
08:33Worked awfully hard to make good.
08:36Was careless about his meals.
08:38Didn't eat right.
08:40Stayed out late at night when he ought to have been in bed.
08:44All that put a strain on his body.
08:47And one day, something happened.
08:51We germs saw our chance to escape.
08:53Edgar paid no attention even though he had a cough and lost weight.
08:57We multiplied so fast Edgar's cells couldn't keep up with us.
09:01So we spread and spread and scaped out new blots.
09:06His girl was the first to take notice.
09:10The boy had no appetite.
09:13And he had no pep.
09:16Tired all the time.
09:20Then one day, we germs broke through a pipe.
09:26An artery that passed through lungland.
09:30And a great flood of blood poured out.
09:35Edgar coughed up some blood.
09:38That scared him.
09:40At last, he went to a doctor.
09:44Who sent him to a sanatorium.
09:47There he rested.
09:49Nothing to do but get his body strong.
09:55Sad news for us.
09:58Oh yes, I remember Edgar in the sanatorium.
10:03I got you by the way.
10:05That's right professor.
10:06That sanatorium is a bad place for germs like us.
10:12No chance at all.
10:14They don't let any of us escape.
10:17Every patient has his own paper cup.
10:22And you know what?
10:24They burn these cups.
10:27Sure death for germs.
10:30Comment ça que vous n'étiez pas détruits aussi?
10:33Eh bien, la médecin a envoyé un peu d'Edgar Sputum dans le laboratoire pour être examiné.
10:38Et j'étais là-dedans.
10:40Alors, le garçon en couverture blanche nous a donné un nouveau domicile.
10:44Une culture, il l'a appelé.
10:46Un peu d'expérimentation je suppose.
10:48Il nous a gardés dans un incubateur où il faisait chaud.
10:52Et c'est là que nous avons grandi.
10:54Eh bien, je suppose que c'est la histoire.
10:56Et c'est le garçon en couverture blanche qui m'a donné cette culture.
11:00Est-ce que vous savez si Edgar s'est rendu bien, professeur?
11:03Oh oui, il s'est complètement recouvert.
11:07Il est heureusement marié et a un garçon de son propre.
11:13C'est bien, un autre Edgar.
11:17Je peux mourir bientôt, mais ma tribu va en avoir un.
11:23On va avoir un jeune Edgar.
11:26Ah non, vous ne l'aurez pas.
11:28Les choses ont changé, TB.
11:30Edgar Sr. avait appris sa leçon.
11:32Alors il a amené un jeune Edgar au médecin et il a fait un test de tuberculose.
11:36Eh bien, qu'est-ce que c'est que ça?
11:39C'est juste un simple test de peau.
11:41Il dit s'il y a des germes comme vous présents dans le corps d'une personne.
11:46Tu ne le dis pas.
11:48Smart, hein?
11:49Ils ne peuvent pas voir qu'il est caché, alors ils ont inventé ce test.
11:54Eh bien, ce test était négatif.
11:58Pas de germes dans le corps d'un jeune Edgar.
12:00Supposons que c'était positif, professeur.
12:04Dans ce cas, le médecin aurait eu une photo d'X-ray faite de sa tête,
12:09comme il l'a fait avec un autre de ses patients, Mary,
12:12une petite jeune fille de l'école.
12:15Son test est revenu positif.
12:17Et le médecin avait cette photo d'X-ray faite de sa tête.
12:21Eh bien, laissez-moi la voir aussi.
12:24Là, vous voyez les épaules.
12:28Et ici, c'est le tissu de l'ongle santé.
12:32Et là, vous voyez ce endroit?
12:35C'est une petite tuberculose, comme celle de l'ongle d'un jeune Edgar.
12:40C'est dur et solide maintenant.
12:43Aucun germe ne sortira jamais de cette tuberculose.
12:46Et chaque année, jusqu'à ce qu'elle devienne adulte,
12:50le médecin fera une autre photo d'X-ray.
12:53Mais professeur, qu'est-ce qu'il va se passer de toute ma tribu
12:57avec ce genre de choses qui se passent?
13:00Désolé, old timer, mais vous êtes presque à la fin.
13:03Quand tous les jeunes ont un test de tuberculose,
13:06et ceux qui réagissent positivement ont un X-ray,
13:10les germes de TB vont disparaître.
13:13C'est une bataille jusqu'à la fin.
13:15Et l'homme va gagner cette bataille.
13:18Au revoir, monsieur le germe.
13:21Donc, c'est notre fin.
13:33Je vois le jour où la tuberculose sera détruite.
13:37Je vois des enfants heureux et en bonne santé,
13:39qui vont grandir sans avoir peur
13:41que leurs vies seront détruites.
13:44Je vois des parents heureux avec des enfants adultes.
13:47Des parents qui, dans les vieilles années,
13:49auraient dû mourir à l'âge de 10 ans.
13:51Je vois vraiment cette miséricorde ancienne disparaître.
13:55Quelle est une bouteille et un bon déjeuner?
13:57Merci, ma chère.
13:59Oh, maman!
14:00Papa nous a raconté une autre de ses belles histoires.
14:04Et quand nous serons tous adultes,
14:07nos enfants ne vont pas avoir de tuberculose,
14:10n'est-ce pas, papa?
14:11Non, en effet, ma chère.
