- I'm going to my professor.
- I - to a dinner party.

32
00:06:12,006 --> 00:06:15,180
Scandal! Scandal! Scandal!

33
00:06:39,198 --> 00:06:42,852
I, friends, have found a solution.

34
00:06:43,083 --> 00:06:45,996
It's as clear as two times two:

35
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:49,419
regulating traffic will be

36
00:06:49,506 --> 00:06:52,699
the owl's job from this day on.

37
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:56,191
Regulating the traffic

38
00:06:56,316 --> 00:06:59,376
will be the owl from now on.

39
00:07:01,057 --> 00:07:02,913
2.5 tons

40
00:07:28,193 --> 00:07:29,800
[Stop]

41
00:08:10,864 --> 00:08:15,817
Now our path is straight and speedy,
Not in a dream, but for real,

42
00:08:16,308 --> 00:08:20,908
Ever since we have appointed
The owl as our traffic light.

43
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,120
It's so simple, it's so clear now.
Just look right in front of you:

44
00:08:26,849 --> 00:08:31,469
Stop - the red one's open!
Go - when it has turned to green.

45
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,644
The traffic light shines so brightly
Over the calm, tranquil paths,

46
00:08:52,223 --> 00:08:56,717
And even breastfeeding infants
Can now safely pass through here.

47
00:08:57,580 --> 00:09:02,079
It's so simple, it's so clear now.
Just look right in front of you:

48
00:09:02,946 --> 00:09:07,213
Stop - the red one's open!
Go - when it has turned to green.

Traffic Light Workshop

50
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:38,674
Traffic lights should be provided
Everywhere, on all the roads,

51
00:09:39,076 --> 00:09:44,216
Then we could get all congestion
Swept away, like with a broom.

52
00:09:44,503 --> 00:09:49,449
It's so simple, it's so clear now.
Just look right in front of you:

53
00:09:50,238 --> 00:09:54,732
Stop - the red one's open!
Go - when it has turned to green.

54
00:09:55,354 --> 00:10:00,148
The traffic light shines so brightly
Over the calm, tranquil paths,

55
00:10:00,909 --> 00:10:05,656
And even breastfeeding infants
Can now safely pass through here.

56
00:10:06,212 --> 00:10:11,478
It's so simple, it's so clear now.
Just look right in front of you:

57
00:10:12,052 --> 00:10:16,832
Stop - the red one's open!
Go - when it has turned to green.

58
00:10:17,767 --> 00:10:20,527
Stop - the red one's open!

59
00:10:20,599 --> 00:10:24,656
Go - when it has turned to green.
