(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
2
00:00:18,319 --> 00:00:20,788
NARRATOR: It was a long,
slow night in the city.
3
00:00:20,855 --> 00:00:23,124
So, the detective team
of Tom and Jerry
4
00:00:23,191 --> 00:00:27,394
decided to make the best of it
by going over a hairy case...
5
00:00:27,461 --> 00:00:30,330
With a fine-toothed comb.
6
00:00:30,397 --> 00:00:31,866
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
7
00:00:31,932 --> 00:00:34,302
This could be the action
they'd been waiting for.
8
00:00:34,369 --> 00:00:37,971
But this client
had a different way
of doing things.
9
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:39,939
(BANGING)
10
00:00:40,006 --> 00:00:41,409
(THUDS)
11
00:00:41,476 --> 00:00:44,077
It was Meathead
and he was acting
a little bit squirrelly.
12
00:00:44,144 --> 00:00:45,246
(CHATTERING)
13
00:00:45,313 --> 00:00:47,748
After a little while
and a few acorns,
14
00:00:47,815 --> 00:00:49,349
they were able to
settle him down.
15
00:00:49,416 --> 00:00:50,851
You guys gotta help me.
16
00:00:50,918 --> 00:00:53,054
I seem to have
lost my marbles!
17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,956
NARRATOR: (CHUCKLES)
Well, that seemed obvious.
18
00:00:56,023 --> 00:00:59,093
No, really.
I lost my actual marbles.
19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,362
NARRATOR: Meathead was
the city marble champion,
20
00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:05,733
and he had misplaced
his case of lucky,
one-of-a-kind gold marbles.
21
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:07,601
I need those marbles.
22
00:01:07,668 --> 00:01:09,436
I have a big
tournament tomorrow,
23
00:01:09,503 --> 00:01:11,172
and I can't play without 'em.
24
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:13,241
NARRATOR: This detective
was no stranger
25
00:01:13,307 --> 00:01:16,176
to the allure of
a well-played game of marbles.
26
00:01:16,243 --> 00:01:17,579
(CLEARS THROAT)
27
00:01:17,645 --> 00:01:19,880
Tom knew from experience
that the best place to start
28
00:01:19,947 --> 00:01:21,916
was the last place
that Meathead saw them.
29
00:01:21,982 --> 00:01:23,585
I don't remember.
30
00:01:23,651 --> 00:01:26,620
It could've been here,
or, or maybe
it was over there.
31
00:01:26,687 --> 00:01:28,222
Could've been anywhere!
32
00:01:28,289 --> 00:01:30,291
NARRATOR: The detectives
were starting to wonder
33
00:01:30,358 --> 00:01:33,762
if this cat ever had
his marbles to begin with.
34
00:01:33,828 --> 00:01:37,398
Since Meathead was
shooting marbles at the
community center last night,
35
00:01:37,465 --> 00:01:40,935
the PIs figured this would
be a good place to start.
36
00:01:41,001 --> 00:01:43,003
Wait! Where do you think
you're going?
37
00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:46,106
This is a members-only
establishment.
38
00:01:46,172 --> 00:01:51,011
(SCRIBBLING)
39
00:01:51,078 --> 00:01:53,246
Oh, Spike.
I forgot to tell you.
40
00:01:53,313 --> 00:01:54,615
Tom's with me.
41
00:01:54,681 --> 00:01:57,284
Oh, in that case, welcome.
42
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:58,619
Watch your step.
43
00:01:58,685 --> 00:02:00,388
NARRATOR: The community center
44
00:02:00,455 --> 00:02:02,422
was a hole-in-the-wall
where the locals
liked to relax
45
00:02:02,489 --> 00:02:04,425
with a lively game of marbles.
46
00:02:04,492 --> 00:02:06,927
If Meathead's marbles
were to be found,
47
00:02:06,994 --> 00:02:10,764
this was a good place
to start.
48
00:02:10,831 --> 00:02:11,999
Sorry about that.
49
00:02:12,066 --> 00:02:14,234
It's my job
to pick up the strays.
50
00:02:14,301 --> 00:02:17,901
Must've missed this one.
51
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:20,975
MEATHEAD: What a good kid.
52
00:02:21,041 --> 00:02:24,377
The community center likes
to give the local kids a job.
53
00:02:24,444 --> 00:02:26,213
It builds character.
54
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,682
NARRATOR: But Tom had seen
enough characters.
55
00:02:28,749 --> 00:02:30,717
Now, he was looking for clues.
56
00:02:30,784 --> 00:02:35,089
Ooh! A real detective
in action.
57
00:02:35,156 --> 00:02:38,158
Hey, what's the big idea?
We're playing a game here.
58
00:02:38,224 --> 00:02:39,392
Get outta here.
59
00:02:39,459 --> 00:02:42,262
Move it, brother.
60
00:02:42,329 --> 00:02:46,434
(SQUEALS)
61
00:02:46,501 --> 00:02:50,069
NARRATOR: Hmm.
No gold marbles here.
62
00:02:50,136 --> 00:02:51,205
(THUDS)
63
00:02:51,272 --> 00:02:53,474
Next up,
the community center office.
64
00:02:53,541 --> 00:02:56,344
Which was run by
office secretary, Toodles.
65
00:02:56,410 --> 00:02:58,245
You won't find
your gold marbles here.
66
00:02:58,312 --> 00:03:01,815
I keep all my ducks
in a row, honey.
67
00:03:01,882 --> 00:03:03,884
-(QUACKING)
-Come on, boys.
68
00:03:03,951 --> 00:03:06,086
NARRATOR: Jerry decided
the best place to start
69
00:03:06,153 --> 00:03:09,155
was the lost and found.
70
00:03:09,222 --> 00:03:10,224
(WHISTLES)
71
00:03:10,291 --> 00:03:12,193
If Meathead's marbles
were lost
72
00:03:12,259 --> 00:03:14,427
this was the obvious
place to find them.
73
00:03:14,494 --> 00:03:15,696
(CLATTERING)
74
00:03:15,762 --> 00:03:18,732
Unfortunately,
another dead end.
75
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:20,134
(THUDS)
76
00:03:20,201 --> 00:03:22,271
NARRATOR: Last stop,
the locker room.
77
00:03:22,337 --> 00:03:25,339
Meathead rembered
cleaning up here after
a vigorous night of marbles.
78
00:03:25,406 --> 00:03:29,242
Okay. Left-28,
right-32, left-12.
79
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:30,244
Wait.
80
00:03:30,311 --> 00:03:33,080
Maybe it was
right-10, left-16...
81
00:03:33,147 --> 00:03:35,817
NARRATOR: At this rate
we could be here a while.
82
00:03:35,884 --> 00:03:39,185
Luckily, Jerry was there
to straighten Meathead out.
83
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:40,721
(WHISTLES)
84
00:03:40,788 --> 00:03:42,123
MEATHEAD: Oh, yeah!
85
00:03:42,189 --> 00:03:43,924
My locker has my name on it.
86
00:03:43,991 --> 00:03:45,894
Tuffy put that up there
so I can find it.
87
00:03:45,961 --> 00:03:50,464
And I don't have a lock
because I can never
remember the combination.
88
00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:51,865
(CLATTERS)
89

(GASPING)
91
00:03:55,136 --> 00:03:56,336
Hey, there it is!
92
00:03:56,403 --> 00:03:58,271
My marble case.
93
00:03:58,338 --> 00:03:59,907
Huh. Empty.
94
00:03:59,974 --> 00:04:01,541
NARRATOR: They were stolen!
95
00:04:01,608 --> 00:04:03,778
The suspects were assembled.
96
00:04:03,845 --> 00:04:07,315
Each player had a reason
for wanting to see Meathead
lose the championship game.
97
00:04:07,381 --> 00:04:09,083
And when you got 'em talking,
98
00:04:09,150 --> 00:04:10,418
you couldn't get 'em to stop.
99
00:04:10,485 --> 00:04:12,653
I'd do anything to win
tomorrow's game.
100
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:14,188
Even steal.
101
00:04:14,255 --> 00:04:16,991
NARRATOR: Red Herring.
Professional suspect.
102
00:04:17,057 --> 00:04:19,893
But his story sounded
just too obvious.
103
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,830
Meathead and I
used to be marble partners,
104
00:04:21,896 --> 00:04:25,500
but then Meathead went solo
and started winning
all the tournaments!
105
00:04:25,566 --> 00:04:27,468
Guess you can say
I got a grudge.
106
00:04:27,535 --> 00:04:30,104
I'm the club secretary
in charge of membership.
107
00:04:30,171 --> 00:04:31,572
But how am I
gonna find new members
108
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:34,008
when no one thinks
they have a chance of winning?
109
00:04:34,074 --> 00:04:36,177
I always loved
those gold marbles.
110
00:04:36,243 --> 00:04:38,045
It's a color
I just can't resist.
111
00:04:38,112 --> 00:04:39,981
Did I mention I stole
them marbles a minute ago?
112
00:04:40,048 --> 00:04:42,316
I got a few bucks
down on Butch to win
the next tournament.
113
00:04:42,383 --> 00:04:44,785
So, yeah. I'd like to see
Meathead lose for once.
114
00:04:44,852 --> 00:04:46,454
I used to be Meathead's coach,
115
00:04:46,521 --> 00:04:48,922
but he fired me
for being too rough!
116
00:04:48,989 --> 00:04:51,192
Maybe now that he's
lost his lucky marbles,
117
00:04:51,258 --> 00:04:53,093
he'll come crawling back.
118
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,228
Gold has always been
my favorite color too.
119
00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:56,831
So shiny!
120
00:04:56,898 --> 00:04:59,066
NARRATOR: The PIs
still weren't falling
for this line.
121
00:04:59,133 --> 00:05:01,668
They knew a Red Herring
when they saw one.
122
00:05:01,735 --> 00:05:03,037
Jerry was stumped.
123
00:05:03,103 --> 00:05:05,806
Meathead was a meathead
and Tom was, well...
124
00:05:05,873 --> 00:05:10,373
Where exactly was Tom?
125
00:05:14,614 --> 00:05:16,116
(CRASHES)
126
00:05:16,183 --> 00:05:17,818
This had gone on long enough.
127
00:05:17,885 --> 00:05:21,322
It was time
for someone to fess up.
128
00:05:21,389 --> 00:05:23,624
No big deal.
They've got all night.
129
00:05:23,691 --> 00:05:27,961
No one's gonna shoot marbles
till someone confesses.
130
00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:29,596
-(ALL CLAMORING)
-I did it!
131
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:31,899
I stole the marbles.
132
00:05:31,965 --> 00:05:33,100
-He did it.
-It was him!
133
00:05:33,167 --> 00:05:34,534
-It was him all along.
-He knows.
134
00:05:34,601 --> 00:05:35,969
He did it.
135
00:05:36,036 --> 00:05:37,686
(BOTH SIGH)
136
00:05:41,175 --> 00:05:42,510
NARRATOR: Tom
suddenly realized
137
00:05:42,577 --> 00:05:44,245
that everyone in the room
had confessed.
138
00:05:44,311 --> 00:05:46,881
Everyone but the little mouse.
139
00:05:46,948 --> 00:05:51,948
Now it was time for Tuffy
to answer some questions.
140
00:05:56,190 --> 00:05:59,490
Sorry, I got confused.
141
00:06:04,465 --> 00:06:06,499
NARRATOR: And there he was.
The culprit,
142
00:06:06,566 --> 00:06:08,102
along with the evidence.
143
00:06:08,168 --> 00:06:11,004
Huh? My gold marbles?
144
00:06:11,071 --> 00:06:12,672
Tuffy had 'em?
145
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:13,974
I'm sorry I took 'em.
146
00:06:14,041 --> 00:06:16,143
Mr. Meathead is
such a great player
147
00:06:16,210 --> 00:06:18,879
and I really only wanted
to be just like him.
148
00:06:18,946 --> 00:06:20,614
I thought if I practiced
with them in secret,
149
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,883
I'd be lucky too.
150
00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:24,151
I'm sorry.
151
00:06:24,218 --> 00:06:28,622
I just wanted to be
like you, Mr. Meathead.
152
00:06:28,688 --> 00:06:29,790
(CRYING)
153
00:06:29,856 --> 00:06:31,858
Aw, that's okay, kid.
154
00:06:31,925 --> 00:06:33,394
I tell you what.
155
00:06:33,461 --> 00:06:37,164
If you want, I can teach
you a few of my trick shots.
156
00:06:37,231 --> 00:06:38,632
Really? You mean it?
157
00:06:38,698 --> 00:06:40,601
Oh, thank you, Mr. Meathead.
158
00:06:40,668 --> 00:06:44,138
NARRATOR: All that was left
was to round up the gold.
159
00:06:44,205 --> 00:06:46,106
Gee, thanks.
160
00:06:46,173 --> 00:06:51,123
Uh, I think one
is still missing.
161
00:06:51,412 --> 00:06:53,881
Ah! Thank you, my good man.
162
00:06:53,947 --> 00:06:56,650
Really. I'm another
man altogether
163
00:06:56,717 --> 00:06:58,619
when I have all my marbles.
164
00:06:58,686 --> 00:07:01,755
NARRATOR: Another case
solved by the cat
and mouse detectives.
165
00:07:01,822 --> 00:07:03,424
Unfortunately for Tom,
166
00:07:03,491 --> 00:07:08,491
he might still be suffering
from a case of marble fever.

(MARBLES PATTERING)
169
00:07:13,133 --> 00:07:14,735
Yup, no doubt about it.
