What a sight

Is that beautiful or what

I mean it looks like a field of fireflies

doesn’t it

Oh

Huh

Good evening ladies

Say is that the town of delbert, because if it is boy

I haven’t been there in, hm, must be 100 some odd years

And back then it was nothing more than a dirt road and a couple of little wooden shacks

So that you ladies live around here

Yeah, you know I’m just in for the night myself

I’ve got a nice place to stay over there on the other side of the hill, and

hello

Hello

Hello

Oh

So sorry

Beg your pardon

I didn’t mean to disturb you

I’m just going to leave you in peace, ok

I’m going to go

Ok

This is not going to end well

Be reasonable, litttle fella

Come on, it was an accident

Ow

Oh

Watch the horns

Oh, hey

Oh, whoa

Oh, whoa

Keep running

Just keep running

Just keep running

Ah, sweet mercy

Sweet angels of mercy

Ah

Must

Drink

Now

Hey, has, uh has anyone seen the cabbage

Oh, Walter, you’re forgetting yourself

You already loaded it

What

You loaded it

You loaded it

Paul

All right

You kids run around, have fun

Grandma and me will get the cabbage entered in the competition and meet up with you later

Whitney, I need you to cover for me

What are you talking about

It’s Paul

He was supposed to leave a dawn, right

But I heard him whistle for babe just as we were leaving, which means he’s still here and may be in trouble

Travis, if he’s in trouble, what are you supposed to do about it

He’s Paul bunyan and you’re 12

Please, Whitney

Thanks

Paul

Travis

I thought you were supposed to be at the fair

I heard your whistle

Is everything ok

What are you doing

Looking for prints

Babe’s disappeared

What

It looks like he’s been gone for hours

I’ll help you find him

That’s all right, it’s not your problem

Yes it is

If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be here right now and babe wouldn’t be missing

You know what

I’m helping you look for him and you can’t talk me out of it

What in the world

Oh my

You know, I’ve been thinking

If I’m going to perform a mass hypnotism of this scale, an increase in my fee is in order

What are you talking about

I’m already paying you more than you make in five years

What more could you want

Equal partnership

Equal

Equal

Ha

Be serious

What is it, Iris

Excuse me, sir, but I think you should see something

You are this close to being fired,

Iris, it better be something big

What the heck is that thing

How shall I know

Some sort of farm creature, no doubt

Is it alive

Regrettably, yes

It’s ok, you’re going to be fine

Iris, call someone

Have them cart this thing off my property

But sir, I think he needs a vet

I don’t care

Just get rid of it

Go

That is the biggest ass I have ever seen

What did you say

Just that’s a big ass

What

Hmm

Oh

Yeah, yeah, right

Right, it’s gigantic

But I think it’s actually an ox, isn’t it

Wait a minute

Hold everything

Iris don’t move

If you even breathe, you’re fired

I think I’ve finally got it

I figured out how we can do it

This ought to be interesting

We’re talking about this ox

We’re taking this ox to the county fair

And why on earth would we do that

Because we’re going to prop him up, paint him blue, and make him an attraction

We’ll say he’s babe, the great blue ox

This is Minnesota for crying out loud

The entire town will want to check them out, and they’ll all be at the fair already

It’s perfect

Yes

Yes, that might actually work

Oh, poop

Over here

What did you find

Just what I said

What

Poop

You mean yup

There are his tracks

Good job, Travis

Oh, how awful

Who put that horrible contraption on you

People can be so disappointing sometimes

Woah

Boy, that one had been building up

Oh

Oh, boy my stomach feels like lead

You can talk

Well, if I don’t have a dang muzzle on, I can

Hey, what’s going on

Where I am

You’re at blandsford development

Ok

And how far is that from Travis’ house

I’m sorry

I’m afraid I’m not acquainted with anyone named Travis

I’m Iris

Well, pleased to meet you, Iris

I’m babe

Would that be babe, the great blue ox

Usually

You’re really you

I mean him I mean babe

Well, as far as I know

But, man, I do not feel like myself

What hit me

Did you drink any of the water out back

Yeah, I might have drank like half of it

Why

Because it’s toxic

Poisonous

Poisonous water

Huh

Now I’ve heard everything

It is time to go

Hey, what is going on here

What’s with the chains

I didn’t see those

Oh, this is terrible

I’ll go get the key

Will you be ok

Me

Oh yeah

No, I’ll be fine

You know, occasionally i get a little claustrophobic

Like right now

Get me out of here

Fresh air, fresh air, fresh air

Well, it’s not the freshest air I’ve ever tried, but at least I’m outside

Quiet, or he’ll hear you

He, who

I think it’s Mr blandsford my boss

Once we have all the property, how soon can we start building

Stop with the we

I start building once the land is cleared

You will get your insanely huge paycheck and go back to whatever dump you live in

How long will it take to clear the land

I don’t know

Six months or so

Why

Can’t it happen more quickly

I was thinking something like this might help

You need to go find my friend, Paul

Paul

Paul bunyan

He’s probably out there looking for me right now

And boy, is he going to be mad when he finds me

Where’s the axe

Huh

Oh no

No, no, no, no

This is not good not good

This is not good at all

You need to go find Paul right away

This is not good

Yes

Ok

You just tell me where he is

How do I find him

You know how to whistle, don’t you

That’s it

She’s definitely fired

Oh no you don’t
