MRS. KAHN: You can come in now,
Mr. McBride.

1:20:35
[Scattered laughter]
1:20:37
Everyone, I want you
to give Mr. McBride

1:20:40
your full attention.
1:20:47
"I am here
to speak about trains.

1:20:51
The first real train
in this country

1:20:52
was built by Peter Cooper
in 1829.

1:20:55
Does anyone know
what it was called?"

1:21:01
"It was called the Tom Thumb."
1:21:04
[Students giggling]
1:21:07
"Since that time,
1:21:09
trains have helped make
this country what it is today.

1:21:13
A long time ago,
1:21:14
most people never left their
towns because travel was hard."

1:21:18
Uh, yes?
1:21:19
How tall are you?
1:21:21
Jacob!
1:21:22
I'm, uh... I'm four feet
and five inches tall.

1:21:25
I'm taller than you.
1:21:27
Jacob, come with me.
1:21:29
I'm so sorry.
1:21:30
Be back in a minute.
1:21:32
Such a jerk.
1:21:40
What about blimps?
1:21:43
I think blimps came later.
1:21:44
When?
1:21:46
I'm not sure exactly.
1:21:48
Blimps are cool.
1:21:49
Well, so are trains.
1:21:51
Yeah, well, they're both cool.
1:21:54
Trains and blimps.
