Wishbone (1995) s01e26 Episode Script
The Prince and the Pooch
What's the story, Wishbone?
What's this your dreaming of?
Such big imagination
on such a little part.
What's the story, Wishbone?
Do you think it's worth a look?
It kind of seems familiar
like a story from a book.
Shake a leg now, Wishbone.
Let's wag another tale.
Sniff and all adventure
with Wishbone on the trail.
Come on Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
There you go, Wishbone.
Thank you, Ellen.
Ah, the first sniff of the day.
What a gorgeous day.
Can it be?
Can it be?
Yes!
Spring is here.
Ah!
It's apparent in so many ways.
Just look over there.
Wanda's flowers are blooming.
Romance is in the air.
And, of course, everyone is
playing America's favorite pastime.
Play ball!
You know, my cheerleading days are over.
I am ready to play.
Yes, sir.
This dog's got bases to run, homers
to hit, and ground balls to fetch.
Let's take a break.
Yeah.
Or we could take a break.
I've got to work on my timing.
Hey, where's bon.
I'm telling you, David,
you should have had
us playing man-to-man.
Come on, Joe, the game's over with.
What's up, guys?
Joe was still upset about
the basketball playoffs.
Mr. Burns, we could
have gone all the way.
Coach Menendez let us down.
That's all there is to it.
But what can I say, Joe?
Coach is never easy.
Sure it is.
If I was coaching, we
would have won that game.
Any good player can coach.
Is that so?
It's that simple.
Yeah.
Well, I'd be one.
willing to give you a chance to prove it.
You know, experienced firsthand
how the other half lives.
Uh-oh.
What do you mean?
Emily's T-ball season just started,
not even an assistant coach,
just for a few practices
until we play our first game.
So what do you say, coach?
You've got a deal.
You don't know what you're in for.
Ah, a wish has been granted.
Joe the player becomes Joe the coach.
Mark Twain wrote about two young boys
who got what they wished for
in The Prince and the pauper,
published in 1882.
The story is set in
London in the 16th century
during the reign of King Henry the 8th.
The first boy is born to a rich
and royal family who wants him.
The other boy is born to a poor
family who does not want him.
Our story begins just before they meet.
Please, please, play, boy.
Suffer a young pot to steal
a glimpse of the prince.
Then my life might seem less wretched.
It is he, the prince.
So weigle, so royal, so noble, so noble.
Find thy manners, thou young beggar.
How darest thou, you as
a poor lad like that?
Open the gates and let him in.
Thou lookest tired and hungry.
Come with me.
See you later, big guy.
Thank you, sir.
Tom.
Please, be seated.
Tom, sir.
Tom, sir.
Tom Canty.
And why aren't they so frail and little?
Mm, lousy food, beatings.
Beatings?
What can I say?
It's dog-eat-dog out there, Prince.
You understand?
Yes, I suppose I should.
Tell me, hast thou any pleasures?
Hmm, some, sir.
We have punching Judy shows, monkeys,
and there be plays.
Tell me more.
Well, in the summer, sir, we swim.
in the river.
And we dive in the water
and shat-lark, fools.
Yes, but continue.
And when we get really
excited, we start to tumble.
Ready, go on, go on.
Well, we sing and dance and
Oh, in the mud.
The mud, prince.
We do fairly wallow in the mud.
Yes, yes, say no more.
It is glorious.
If I could clothe me
in rainment like thine,
and rain.
level in the mud just once,
I could forego the crown.
And if I could clothe me once,
sweet sir, as thou are, just once.
Upon my word, young Tom, you
look like me and I like you.
We might even be confused.
Might be, but my tail's a little longer.
You're a fine fellow, Tom, canty.
Please wait here a moment. I must
have a word with that brutal guard.
Oh, all right, but
Hurry back, Prince.
I say, you there, I must express
to you my profound disappointment.
You dare to laugh in the presence of
Come back soon, beggars spawn.
I am the Prince of Wales.
Oh, hail the Prince of Wales!
Oh, the people salute,
your gracious Highness.
Your Highness, your
highness, your presence,
your highness, your
presence is await in court.
Oh, no, you misunderstand.
I'm not
If you would, Your Highness.
But I'm not the
Oh, no.
They've got the wrong guy.
All right, now listen up, Tigers.
I want you to meet someone who's
going to be helping us out.
His name is Joe, and he's
going to run today's practice.
So I want you to give him your
undivided attention, okay?
Now, please, let's say hi to Joe.
Doggy, we want the doggy.
Yeah!
What can I say?
The ladies love me.
Sorry, Joe.
Remember, Joe.
Five-year-old girls.
Good afternoon, Tigers.
We've got a lot to do, so
we really need to focus.
Whispers.
Uh-oh.
Emily calls.
And this time she's got a cookie.
T-ball is a team sport.
That means we have to work together.
And you, Wisball.
Okay.
I've got to be very careful.
By the time the season starts,
We should be running like a machine.
A well-oiled machine.
Just take the cookie and walk away.
So remember that all we have to do
A piece of kick!
Which bone?
Guys!
Hi.
Thank you.
Wait a joke.
Hey, easy there.
Thank you.
You only seen a cookie.
It was a small one.
Cookie.
Good luck, Joe.
And roll the ball.
Emily,
What's wrong?
They're throwing to me.
Stop the ball the next
time it comes to you.
Hey, guys.
Pay attention to the ball.
They're just warming up.
Okay.
Try it again.
What's going on out there?
Patience, Joe.
Patience.
Okay.
One more time.
Got their attention, Joe.
Now call them off.
Okay, take a shot.
Straighten this arm
and lower it a little.
Uh, lower it just a little.
You're doing fine.
Try it again.
Oh.
Poor Joe.
Life as a coach isn't the easy
life he thought it would be.
But Jill has had a rude awakening.
It waxeth late.
May it please your majesty to awaken.
Hello?
Can I help you with anything?
Commence the dressing.
Ooh.
Oh, listen, I can put on my own clap.
Please, Your Highness, to remain
still while the dressing proceeds.
Yeah, but
Ooh, your hands are cold.
The dressing of the prince.
hath finished.
Uh, thank you.
Wait a minute.
Can't you stay a while and play?
Oh,
games are not the order of the day,
Your Highness.
I shall return before dinner.
Well, yeah, but
But what am I going to do, Waltai?
Oh, Prince.
Where are you?
I don't belong in these clothes?
Hmm, what an interesting smell.
Oh.
Out of this time, a day again,
and has not collected a farthing?
If I don't break all the bones in thy
lean body, then I'm not John Canty.
Ah, the pauper's father.
What great fortune.
I order you to fetch your son and
restore me to the palace immediately.
Go on, Stark mad as any Tom of Bedlam.
Stark.
Raymond mad!
On hand me!
I am the Prince of Wales!
What?
My first royal meal.
The food is certain to be superb.
What?
Let's go.
What a bone?
So tasty.
My fellow Englishman, I come.
Henry is dead.
Let the joy ring out, for tomorrow is
the young Prince of Wales to be coronated
king of this great land.
Wow!
King!
Suddenly, I've lost my appetite.
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Today's the big game. Are you excited?
I'll be excited when it's over.
I'm never coaching again.
Come on, it can't be that bad.
They're five-year-old girls.
They're barracudas, Ellen.
Don't let them fool you.
They're tough, Mom.
I hate to admit it,
but without Mr. Barnes,
I'd never make it through this game.
You'll be fine.
I'll get it.
Mrs. Barnes.
Joe, I am so happy that
you are still here.
There's been a big change in plan.
I need to rush Mr. Barnes to the airport.
But we've got a game today.
Sorry, honey.
Last-minute business trip.
Mr. Barnes needs you to run the game.
All by myself?
You'll be great.
Oh, and I need to leave
Emily and Tina here with you.
Girls, be good.
We will.
Thanks, Joe.
I'll see you at the game.
Have fun.
I'm supposed to have fun.
All right, tigers.
From what I hear, the banshees
are pretty tough this year.
But if you just put your mind to it.
Where's Wushbone?
Wushbone's going to watch the
game from the stands today.
We want him here.
You guys need to concentrate now.
You can see him after the game.
Exiled once again.
Forced to settle for cheerleader.
Well, that's
That's what you get for being too cute.
This is a perfect day
for the season opener.
Oh, I'll say.
Nice blue skies, calm spring breeze.
You know, it's really very relaxing.
Come on, tigers.
Clobber those banshees!
Oh, look, it's Mr. King.
So, how long is the game?
One hour.
Come on, Katie, make Daddy proud.
There's one at every game.
Let's go taggers!
Let's go!
You're okay. Try it again.
It's no bigie.
Once more.
Hey, don't cry.
Hey, don't cry.
You're doing just fine.
Fine.
Someone help.
Someone help.
me.
Hold it.
Let's go.
Come!
We're in the game.
We're in the middle of the game.
So, what's your strategy?
Pardon me?
I'm a concerned parent.
I don't like what I see here.
I don't like it at all.
Oh, come on! Tigers! We
can still win the war!
Sir, I'm doing my best.
It's harder than it looks.
Don't try to tell me
about dealing with kids.
I'm a parent, young man.
My daughter is out there.
What's going on over there, Ellen?
I don't know, but I don't
like the looks of it.
Neither do I. Joe needs me.
I can tell.
Oh, come on, Katie!
Show him how it's done!
All right.
For starters, we can change the line.
There goes the season.
There goes the season.
Why is this happening to me?
Joe, your life.
as coach has hit rock bottom.
But don't worry.
You can still get out of this
if you'll just stand tall.
Stand forth, lad. Say thy for he.
Who art thou?
I am Edward, Prince of
Wales and none other.
Oh, Tom, poor lad.
He's a regular crazy one he is.
Oh, my child, shike off
this gruesome dream.
Look upon me.
Am not I, thy mother, that
bore thee and loveth thee?
God knoweth I am loath
to break thy heart, but
truly have I never looked
upon thy face before.
Sir.
He is more worn than is his wont.
Tomorrow will he be himself again.
Do not force him to go out and beg.
Beg?
I would not force him.
Such a thing.
This lad will steal for his supper.
Come on!
Oh!
Oh!
Well, Your Highness,
can we expect a day a high profit?
Follow thy trade. It befits thee.
But I will neither beg nor steal.
Why, then I'll
Won't you stop to drink
from the loving cup?
In celebration!
Take away thy thy!
Let me pass.
Nay, sir!
Thou not pass till thou hast drunk to
today's combination of King Edward.
King Edward?
Coronation?
Give him a couple.
Please, sir.
I've got to get back to the palace.
Get out of these clothes
and get back to my old life!
Come back to my old life!
Come back, mad fool!
All right, just stay out of my way.
I'll get you out of this mess.
Uh, sir, I appreciate your
concern, but I'm handling it.
How's it going, Joe?
Are you having fun?
Is everything okay, Joe?
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, is it?
Well, judging from that scoreboard over
there, I would say
things are far from okay.
Look, Buster!
I don't know who you think you are.
Ellen, don't lose your temper.
That's all they ever want.
All right, it's getting ugly.
This team needs a first base
coach, and I'm the dog for the job.
And Molly!
You-hoo!
Gonna get you, Wishbone!
Come on, sweetie!
For the sake of the game, I'm yours.
Ooh, thank you.
Stay out of things, lady.
Well, so, if you think you can
do this better than my son
Hey, guys, look at this!
Come on, Tina!
Nice ride.
Ooh-Bone's coaching first round.
And starting a comeback.
Time's running out.
And banks are loaded.
Who is this kid and bat?
Why isn't Katie batting clean up?
It's Carol.
She's really shy, but
I know she can do it.
It's Carol.
Come on, Carol! Hey, Carol!
Tigers win! Tigers win!
No pictures, please.
Oh, pictures, please.
Good job!
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Wishbone really came through.
I'll say.
Well, you did pretty okay yourself.
So how does it feel now
that your coaching day?
are over. It's a big relief.
You set a mouthful, pal.
You said a mouthful, pal.
I forbid you to set the crown
of England upon that head.
I am the prince.
Forbear! He is the prince!
He is the prince!
Heavens, they do look perfectly similar.
As Lord Protector, I say
there is only one sure test.
Fetch each of them a sheet of parchment,
and we will ask that they
reproduce for us the royal seal.
Whichever of the two draws the
seal correctly is the real prince.
That is reasonable.
That is reasonable.
Gentlemen, begin the test.
Now, let us see the result.
I'm already home.
I'm already home.
And you, sir.
Only he that was Prince
of Wales can so answer.
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
I'm free!
Long live the king!
Admit it, Joe, it wasn't that bad.
Yes, it was, but I survived.
Joey, we want to thank you
for being the best coach ever.
Thanks.
Excuse me, girls? What about my reward?
I hereby appoint you
Honorable King's Ward.
May you return to a life
of dignity and honor.
And may you accept this in remembrance
of your service on behalf of this throne?
Your most gracious majesty, I thank you.
And this is for you, Whishbow.
An edible trophy!
Mmm!
What will they think of next?
You know, this would
go great with anchovy.
The two went and stood side
by side before a great mirror,
and lo, a miracle.
There did not seem to
have been any change made.
They stared at each other, then at
the glass, then at each other again.
How did we create Mark
Twain's vision of a prince
and a pauper that looked exactly alike?
After all, we only have one superstar.
We needed an editor's help.
An editor puts together all of the
pieces of film to tell the story.
But how was the editor going to do?
to create two of me for this story.
We created the illusion of two
Wishbone's three different ways.
First, we use a technique
called Split Screen.
In Split Screen,
Wishbone was photographed
on one side of the picture,
with the camera still
in the same position,
we changed his costume and photographed
him in the opposite position.
Then, when we edited the show together,
we combined those two
images electronically
so it appeared that two Wishbones
were within the same shot.
So with a split screen, one star,
plus one star, equals two stars!
What a deal!
Here I am doing double duty.
First, they filmed me
in the pauper's costume.
Then, after a quick change, they
filmed me in the prince's costume.
The editor makes it look like
I'm in two places at once.
Heavens! They do look perfectly similar!
The magic of editing is almost as
exciting as Mark Twain's classic book.
The Prince,
and the pauper and other great books
are available at your local library.
Check them out!
What's this your dreaming of?
Such big imagination
on such a little part.
What's the story, Wishbone?
Do you think it's worth a look?
It kind of seems familiar
like a story from a book.
Shake a leg now, Wishbone.
Let's wag another tale.
Sniff and all adventure
with Wishbone on the trail.
Come on Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
Watch the story, Wishbone.
There you go, Wishbone.
Thank you, Ellen.
Ah, the first sniff of the day.
What a gorgeous day.
Can it be?
Can it be?
Yes!
Spring is here.
Ah!
It's apparent in so many ways.
Just look over there.
Wanda's flowers are blooming.
Romance is in the air.
And, of course, everyone is
playing America's favorite pastime.
Play ball!

until we play our first game.

You don't know what you're in for.

Joe the player becomes Joe the coach.
Mark Twain wrote about two young boys
who got what they wished for
in The Prince and the pauper,
published in 1882.
The story is set in
London in the 16th century
during the reign of King Henry the 8th.
The first boy is born to a rich
and royal family who wants him.
The other boy is born to a poor
family who does not want him.
Our story begins just before they meet.
Please, please, play, boy.
Suffer a young pot to steal
a glimpse of the prince.
Then my life might seem less wretched.
It is he, the prince.
So weigle, so royal, so noble, so noble.
Find thy manners, thou young beggar.
How darest thou, you as

See you later, big guy.
Thank you, sir.
Tom.
Please, be seated.

Tom, sir.
Tom Canty.
And why aren't they so frail and little?
Mm, lousy food, beatings.
Beatings?
What can I say?
It's dog-eat-dog out there, Prince.

I could forego the crown.

sweet sir, as thou are, just once.

If you would, Your Highness.
But I'm not the
Oh, no.
They've got the wrong guy.
All right, now listen up, Tigers.
I want you to meet someone who's
going to be helping us out.
His name is Joe, and he's
going to run today's practice.
So I want you to give him your
undivided attention, okay?
Now, please, let's say hi to Joe.
Doggy, we want the doggy.
Yeah!
What can I say?
The ladies love me.
Sorry, Joe.
Remember, Joe.
Five-year-old girls.
Good afternoon, Tigers.
We've got a lot to do, so
we really need to focus.
Whispers.
Uh-oh.
Emily calls.
And this time she's got a cookie.
T-ball is a team sport.
That means we have to work together.
And you, Wisball.
Okay.
I've got to be very careful.
By the time the season starts,
We should be running like a machine.
A well-oiled machine.
Just take the cookie and walk away.
So remember that all we have to do
A piece of kick!
Which bone?
Guys!
Hi.
Thank you.
Wait a joke.
Hey, easy there.
Thank you.
You only seen a cookie.
It was a small one.
Cookie.
Good luck, Joe.
And roll the ball.
Emily,
What's wrong?
They're throwing to me.
Stop the ball the next
time it comes to you.
Hey, guys.
Pay attention to the ball.
They're just warming up.
Okay.
Try it again.
What's going on out there?
Patience, Joe.
Patience.
Okay.
One more time.
Got their attention, Joe.
Now call them off.
Okay, take a shot.
Straighten this arm
and lower it a little.
Uh, lower it just a little.
You're doing fine.
Try it again.
Oh.
Poor Joe.
Life as a coach isn't the easy
life he thought it would be.
But Jill has had a rude awakening.
It waxeth late.
May it please your majesty to awaken.
Hello?
Can I help you with anything?
Commence the dressing.
Ooh.
Oh, listen, I can put on my own clap.
Please, Your Highness, to remain
still while the dressing proceeds.
Yeah, but
Ooh, your hands are cold.
The dressing of the prince.
hath finished.
Uh, thank you.
Wait a minute.
Can't you stay a while and play?
Oh,
games are not the order of the day,
Your Highness.
I shall return before dinner.
Well, yeah, but
But what am I going to do, Waltai?
Oh, Prince.
Where are you?
I don't belong in these clothes?
Hmm, what an interesting smell.
Oh.
Out of this time, a day again,
and has not collected a farthing?
If I don't break all the bones in thy
lean body, then I'm not John Canty.
Ah, the pauper's father.
What great fortune.
I order you to fetch your son and
restore me to the palace immediately.
Go on, Stark mad as any Tom of Bedlam.
Stark.
Raymond mad!
On hand me!
I am the Prince of Wales!
What?
My first royal meal.
The food is certain to be superb.
What?
Let's go.
What a bone?
So tasty.
My fellow Englishman, I come.
Henry is dead.
Let the joy ring out, for tomorrow is
the young Prince of Wales to be coronated
king of this great land.
Wow!
King!
Suddenly, I've lost my appetite.
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Today's the big game. Are you excited?
I'll be excited when it's over.
I'm never coaching again.
Come on, it can't be that bad.
They're five-year-old girls.
They're barracudas, Ellen.
Don't let them fool you.
They're tough, Mom.
I hate to admit it,
but without Mr. Barnes,
I'd never make it through this game.
You'll be fine.
I'll get it.
Mrs. Barnes.
Joe, I am so happy that
you are still here.
There's been a big change in plan.
I need to rush Mr. Barnes to the airport.
But we've got a game today.
Sorry, honey.
Last-minute business trip.
Mr. Barnes needs you to run the game.
All by myself?
You'll be great.
Oh, and I need to leave
Emily and Tina here with you.
Girls, be good.
We will.
Thanks, Joe.
I'll see you at the game.
Have fun.
I'm supposed to have fun.
All right, tigers.
From what I hear, the banshees
are pretty tough this year.
But if you just put your mind to it.
Where's Wushbone?
Wushbone's going to watch the
game from the stands today.
We want him here.
You guys need to concentrate now.
You can see him after the game.
Exiled once again.
Forced to settle for cheerleader.
Well, that's
That's what you get for being too cute.
This is a perfect day
for the season opener.
Oh, I'll say.
Nice blue skies, calm spring breeze.
You know, it's really very relaxing.
Come on, tigers.
Clobber those banshees!
Oh, look, it's Mr. King.
So, how long is the game?
One hour.
Come on, Katie, make Daddy proud.
There's one at every game.
Let's go taggers!
Let's go!
You're okay. Try it again.
It's no bigie.
Once more.
Hey, don't cry.
Hey, don't cry.
You're doing just fine.
Fine.
Someone help.
Someone help.
me.
Hold it.
Let's go.
Come!
We're in the game.
We're in the middle of the game.
So, what's your strategy?
Pardon me?
I'm a concerned parent.
I don't like what I see here.
I don't like it at all.
Oh, come on! Tigers! We
can still win the war!
Sir, I'm doing my best.
It's harder than it looks.
Don't try to tell me
about dealing with kids.
I'm a parent, young man.
My daughter is out there.
What's going on over there, Ellen?
I don't know, but I don't
like the looks of it.
Neither do I. Joe needs me.
I can tell.
Oh, come on, Katie!
Show him how it's done!
All right.
For starters, we can change the line.
There goes the season.
There goes the season.
Why is this happening to me?
Joe, your life.
as coach has hit rock bottom.
But don't worry.
You can still get out of this
if you'll just stand tall.
Stand forth, lad. Say thy for he.
Who art thou?
I am Edward, Prince of
Wales and none other.
Oh, Tom, poor lad.
He's a regular crazy one he is.
Oh, my child, shike off
this gruesome dream.
Look upon me.
Am not I, thy mother, that
bore thee and loveth thee?
God knoweth I am loath
to break thy heart, but
truly have I never looked
upon thy face before.
Sir.
He is more worn than is his wont.
Tomorrow will he be himself again.
Do not force him to go out and beg.
Beg?
I would not force him.
Such a thing.
This lad will steal for his supper.
Come on!
Oh!
Oh!
Well, Your Highness,
can we expect a day a high profit?
Follow thy trade. It befits thee.
But I will neither beg nor steal.
Why, then I'll
Won't you stop to drink
from the loving cup?
In celebration!
Take away thy thy!
Let me pass.
Nay, sir!
Thou not pass till thou hast drunk to
today's combination of King Edward.
King Edward?
Coronation?
Give him a couple.
Please, sir.
I've got to get back to the palace.
Get out of these clothes
and get back to my old life!
Come back to my old life!
Come back, mad fool!
All right, just stay out of my way.
I'll get you out of this mess.
Uh, sir, I appreciate your
concern, but I'm handling it.
How's it going, Joe?
Are you having fun?
Is everything okay, Joe?
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, is it?
Well, judging from that scoreboard over
there, I would say
things are far from okay.
Look, Buster!
I don't know who you think you are.
Ellen, don't lose your temper.
That's all they ever want.
All right, it's getting ugly.
This team needs a first base
coach, and I'm the dog for the job.
And Molly!
You-hoo!
Gonna get you, Wishbone!
Come on, sweetie!
For the sake of the game, I'm yours.
Ooh, thank you.
Stay out of things, lady.
Well, so, if you think you can
do this better than my son
Hey, guys, look at this!
Come on, Tina!
Nice ride.
Ooh-Bone's coaching first round.
And starting a comeback.
Time's running out.
And banks are loaded.
Who is this kid and bat?
Why isn't Katie batting clean up?
It's Carol.
She's really shy, but
I know she can do it.
It's Carol.
Come on, Carol! Hey, Carol!
Tigers win! Tigers win!
No pictures, please.
Oh, pictures, please.
Good job!
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Wishbone really came through.
I'll say.
Well, you did pretty okay yourself.
So how does it feel now
that your coaching day?
are over. It's a big relief.
You set a mouthful, pal.
You said a mouthful, pal.
I forbid you to set the crown
of England upon that head.
I am the prince.
Forbear! He is the prince!
He is the prince!
Heavens, they do look perfectly similar.
As Lord Protector, I say
there is only one sure test.
Fetch each of them a sheet of parchment,
and we will ask that they
reproduce for us the royal seal.
Whichever of the two draws the
seal correctly is the real prince.
That is reasonable.
That is reasonable.
Gentlemen, begin the test.
Now, let us see the result.
I'm already home.
I'm already home.
And you, sir.
Only he that was Prince
of Wales can so answer.
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
I'm free!
Long live the king!
Admit it, Joe, it wasn't that bad.
Yes, it was, but I survived.
Joey, we want to thank you
for being the best coach ever.
Thanks.
Excuse me, girls? What about my reward?
I hereby appoint you
Honorable King's Ward.
May you return to a life
of dignity and honor.
And may you accept this in remembrance
of your service on behalf of this throne?
Your most gracious majesty, I thank you.
And this is for you, Whishbow.
An edible trophy!
Mmm!
What will they think of next?
You know, this would
go great with anchovy.
The two went and stood side
by side before a great mirror,
and lo, a miracle.
There did not seem to
have been any change made.
They stared at each other, then at
the glass, then at each other again.
How did we create Mark
Twain's vision of a prince
and a pauper that looked exactly alike?
After all, we only have one superstar.
We needed an editor's help.
An editor puts together all of the
pieces of film to tell the story.
But how was the editor going to do?
to create two of me for this story.
We created the illusion of two
Wishbone's three different ways.
First, we use a technique
called Split Screen.
In Split Screen,
Wishbone was photographed
on one side of the picture,
with the camera still
in the same position,
we changed his costume and photographed
him in the opposite position.
Then, when we edited the show together,
we combined those two
images electronically
so it appeared that two Wishbones
were within the same shot.
So with a split screen, one star,
plus one star, equals two stars!
What a deal!
Here I am doing double duty.
First, they filmed me
in the pauper's costume.
Then, after a quick change, they
filmed me in the prince's costume.
The editor makes it look like
I'm in two places at once.
Heavens! They do look perfectly similar!
The magic of editing is almost as
exciting as Mark Twain's classic book.
The Prince,
and the pauper and other great books
are available at your local library.
