00:00Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed, a poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.
00:05And then one day he was shooting at some food, and up through the ground come a bubbling crude.
00:11Oil, that is, black gold, Texas tea.
00:16Well, the first thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire.
00:19The kinfolk said, Jed, move away from there.
00:21Said, California is the place you ought to be.
00:24So they loaded up the truck and removed the Beverly Hills, that is.
00:29Swimming poos, movie stars.
00:32The Beverly Hillbillies.
01:08Trust him not, dear gentle lady.
01:13Will his voice be low and sweet.
01:19Listen to the gypsy's warning.
01:24Gentle lady, trust him not.
01:29Gentle lady, trust him not.
01:35Gentle lady, trust him not.
01:41Excuse me, Granny, I'm going to stores.
01:43Anything you need?
01:44I'll check my supplies.
01:45Why don't you string these beans?
01:48That's women's work.
01:51What did you say?
01:52I said stringing beans is women's work.
01:54It's anybody's work, I tells them to do it.
01:58Well, I ain't gonna do it.
01:59Gentle, that's the first time you've ever talked back to Granny.
02:02And it's the last.
02:04Now you go out and cut me a hickory switch and meet me in the woodshed.
02:08We ain't got no hickory tree.
02:09No woodshed neither.
02:11That's the truth, ain't it?
02:13Yeah.
02:16Hey, now, what did you want to go and do that for?
02:24Do you want to string beans or do you want to stand up for your meals for the next few
02:27days?
02:28I want to string beans.
02:29Not sure.
02:33Let's see what I got here.
02:36One deviled hawk eggs, two pickled pawpaw.
02:39Three harmony grits and one salted down hog jowls.
02:43One sack of salt, one sack of sugar, and one sack of dried beans.
02:48One skunk.
02:52One skunk.
02:56Here, Charlie.
02:59Ellie Mae, is Charlie a critter about this size with a white streak down his back?
03:04Here, Benny, you seen him?
03:06He's in that cabinet over there.
03:07Now you go over there and get him out.
03:13Come on, Charlie.
03:15He likes to crawl in dark places and snooze.
03:19Hey, Benny, I never said nothing when you drug home 14 dogs, three cats, a rooster, and a duck,
03:26and a baby lion, and a brace of goats.
03:29My dinghy's I ain't gonna hold still for skunks.
03:34Granny?
03:36You're scaring him.
03:37What are you supposed to have done to me?
03:39Gee, I've looked at many a sack of beans, but it's the first one that ever looked back at me.
03:45Sorry, Granny, but I got him to help old Duke.
03:48How's he gonna do that?
03:50Well, Pa says old Duke was a-losing his smeller.
03:53He can't trail nothing no more.
03:55So I figured if he could sniff any trail, it'd be Charlie.
03:59Yeah, your Pa's been quite worried here lately about old Duke's nose going bad on him.
04:06A raccoon, he's your favorite, right?
04:08Come on, get him, boy.
04:09Now, come on, get him, boy.
04:11Trail him, trail him.
04:12Get him, boy.
04:13Get that old raccoon.
04:14Come on.
04:15Come on.
04:16He's kicking dirt in your face.
04:17You ain't gonna stand for that, are you?
04:21Sure is a pitiful thing, Duke.
04:24Having a nose that big and not have it working.
04:28Pa?
04:30Pa?
04:30Pa, is old Duke any better?
04:32Really, honey?
04:33There's a dog used to be able to trail a butterfly through a swamp after it rained.
04:37Now he couldn't smell cabbage cooking.
04:39I got something here I'll bet you can smell.
04:44He won't do nothing, Pa.
04:46He likes me.
04:48Yeah, well, how's he feel about me?
04:49Charlie, this here's my Pa.
04:51Now, you be nice to him.
04:54And this here is old Duke.
04:55You let him get a good whip, and then he's gonna trail you.
05:00Now, Charlie, uh, it's all in fun.
05:02No hard feelings.
05:06Maybe he caught you cold, Pa, and got his nose stopped up.
05:10Either that, or he just don't give a hoot.
05:12He looks worried.
05:14Well, to me, all hounds look worried.
05:16But I have noticed him looking over at the Drysdale place every now and then, kind of whimpering.
05:21I bet you he misses Cotton Patch.
05:23Who?
05:24The white poodle Mrs. Drysdale brought over from France to marry up with her poodle.
05:29Oh, yeah.
05:30She's in the hospital.
05:32Been there a couple of weeks or so.
05:34Reckon that's why Duke's a pining.
05:39Duke, you just have to get her off your mind.
05:42She belongs to somebody else.
05:43Oh, Duke.
05:45Don't cry.
05:46Uncle Jed.
05:48Uncle Jed, look what was in the mailbox for you.
05:50Come all the way from Paris, France.
05:52For me?
05:53Says right on it, Monsoor J.D. Clampett.
05:56Hey, I'll bet you that's from that pretty French lady.
05:58The one who brought Cotton Patch over.
06:00Yeah, the one you was courting and sparking.
06:02What are you talking about, courting and sparking?
06:05Well, you shave for her, and in the middle of the day.
06:07You slick her down your hair with smell.
06:10And you shined your shoes, and it weren't even Sunday.
06:12You put on the Swallowtail coat and you're courting and derby.
06:15And then you went right on over to...
06:16Duke, you two young and you got some chores to do or something?
06:19No, Pa.
06:19Hey, why don't you open that up and see what that pretty French lady sent you?
06:22Probably ain't from her at all.
06:24Probably just some catalog.
06:25From Paris, France?
06:27Really?
06:28You go out and help Granny and take Charlie back where you found him.
06:31Jethro?
06:32You take Duke for a run through the hills.
06:36Do you both good.
06:39Well, where are you going, Uncle Jed?
06:40You just take care of Duke.
06:42I'll take care of me.
07:12I'll take care of Duke.
07:30Come on, Duke.
07:31Uncle Jed wants me to take you for a run.
07:39Duke, you can't run unless you get to your feet.
07:42Now, come on, Duke.
07:43Try to get both ends up at once.
07:45Jethro?
07:46Run me over to Mr. Dry Deal, Bank.
07:49Okay, Uncle Jed.
07:50I can run you a heap easier than I can run old Duke.
07:55Wait a minute.
07:55Wait a minute.
07:57I mean run me down in a truck.
07:59Oh.
08:00All right, I'll go fetch him.
08:05One of these days, I've got to have a long talk with that boy.
08:12I talked to the doctor at the hospital, and he said Claude's wife and babies can come home
08:17today.
08:18Isn't it exciting?
08:19Aren't you thrilled?
08:20Beyond description.
08:22Claude is the father of quintuplets.
08:24Aren't you proud of him, Melbourne?
08:26Margaret, it is not unusual for a dog litter to number 12 or even more.
08:30Why must you always be little, Claude?
08:33Do you know how sensitive he is?
08:35Oh, I'm sorry, Claude.
08:36Good show.
08:37Congratulations.
08:38Now, I've got a lot of work to do, Margaret.
08:40You certainly have.
08:41We want you to help pick five baby names.
08:44Three boys and two girls.
08:46We want your suggestions.
08:47Well, my first suggestion is for you to go home and do it.
08:50I've got a bank to run.
08:52Bank, bank, bank.
08:53That's all your dadums talks about.
08:55Now, of course, the first boy should be Claude Jr., and the first girl should be Claudette.
09:02Claude wanted to name one of the boys after his dadums, but Milburn just doesn't sound French.
09:09Hallelujah.
09:11Let's all sit down, and we can go over my list of names.
09:16Claude, you can lie down.
09:19Poor darling, he's a nervous wreck.
09:22He's chewed his nails right down to the pole.
09:25Well, I'm going to be doing a little nail-chewing myself before this is over.
09:29Isn't this exciting?
09:35Oh, Mademoiselle Denise.
09:37She said she's going to send me a picture.
09:39Such a beautiful woman.
09:41So sweet and so charming.
09:43Funny thing about her.
09:44I couldn't understand a word she was saying, but I sure did like the way she was saying them.
09:49Shall I read the letter to you?
09:50Yes, ma'am, but not too loud.
09:56Cher, Monsieur Clampette.
09:58Dear Mr. Clampett, here is the photograph I promised.
10:03I shall be coming to Beverly Hills again very soon now.
10:07And I hope that I may take one of you back to Paris with me.
10:11Well, I wonder which one of us she's going to take.
10:14You treat for Granny.
10:16No, Mr. Clampett.
10:17She means a photograph of you.
10:19Oh, I don't think I've gotten it.
10:21Leave that to me.
10:21It's easily arranged.
10:23I'll read on.
10:25Mrs. Strysdale has cabled me that Colette is expecting and has invited me to come and take my pick of
10:32the litter of puppies.
10:34I am looking forward to seeing you then.
10:37Sincere best wishes, your friend, Mademoiselle Denise Bouchard.
10:44Doggy.
10:45Sure is handy to understand that foreign writing and talking.
10:48Reckon you could learn me?
10:51Well, yes, in time.
10:54Today?
10:55I could give you a lesson at noon.
10:57How long would it take?
10:59Oh, an hour.
11:01Hour?
11:02Ain't bad.
11:04Well, I'll tell Mr. Strysdale and be right over.
11:11Come in.
11:19Sure is going to be nice talking fern with you.
11:32How do you do?
11:34It is good to see you again.
11:40I am fine.
11:43How do you do?
11:46It is good to see you again.
11:50I am fine.
11:52Who are you talking to?
11:54Bonjour, madame.
11:56Quel plaisir de vous voir.
11:58Merci beaucoup.
11:59Je vais bien.
12:00Oh, you're that foreign-speaking lady that Jed got all fizzled up over.
12:05Come on in.
12:10Well, sure nice to see you again.
12:13Ah oui.
12:14How do you do?
12:16It is...
12:17Just fine, thanks.
12:18How are you?
12:20How do you do?
12:23It is...
12:25Just fine, thank you.
12:27How are you?
12:28How do you do?
12:32I don't know whether you, uh, don't hear me or you don't believe me.
12:36Quentin, do you want me to...
12:37Oh, hi there, ma'am.
12:39Nice to see you again.
12:40How are you?
12:41How do you do?
12:42Oh, just as frisky as a flea on a fat dog.
12:46Don't do no good to tell her.
12:48She'll only ask you again.
12:50How do you do?
12:51It, uh...
12:52See what I mean?
12:53It's kind of rattle.
12:55Better take her out to the kitchen and give her some coffee.
12:58Oh, coffee.
12:59Bone.
13:00Well, I reckon she could scare you up a bone.
13:03But wouldn't you rather have a donut?
13:06How do you do?
13:09Get that coffee, quick.
13:16Grannie?
13:16Jed?
13:18You got company.
13:19Who?
13:20That beautiful foreign lady that you were so sweet on.
13:24From Paris.
13:25She here already?
13:26In the kitchen having coffee.
13:29Doggone, another hour and I'd have had my fridge lesson.
13:32Where you going?
13:34Going up to wash my hands.
13:42Hey, Uncle Jet.
13:44You done changed again in the middle of the day.
13:46Hey, young lady, Grannie, come on in and see Uncle Jet.
13:49If you're praying as big as your mouth, you'd be teaching school instead of going to it.
13:53How?
13:53You done sliggled your hair down again.
13:55And put smell-o-money, too.
13:57It shines your shoes.
13:59You better be quieting down, Ellie, or you're going to get a mouth full of hats.
14:03Monsieur Clampy.
14:05Oh, howdy there, Mr. Neese.
14:07You look as pretty as a bag full of striped candy.
14:11Je suis si contente de vous revoir.
14:14Je pensais constamment à vous à Paris.
14:17Je souhaite que vous ayez reçu de mes nouvelles avec ma photographie.
14:22Je t'en dors avec plaisir et impatience d'avoir votre signe de votre main.
14:28Et que je garderai toujours près de moi.
14:32Just my luck.
14:34Another hour and I'd have been able to understand every word she said.
14:42Margaret, this was my den and you said I could have it back.
14:45All right, dear.
14:46If you'd rather I add a new wing to the house.
14:48Ah, never mind.
14:49I'll keep on using the basement.
14:51Well, Jenny, isn't it cunning?
15:05Where are the puppies?
15:06They're with their mumsy-wumsy.
15:09I'm surprised you didn't hire a baby nurse.
15:11Oh, I must speak to the poodle pediatrician about that.
15:15Melbourne, this is going to be the most thrilling moment.
15:18Our first look at our first grandchildren.
15:23Will you please stop calling them that?
15:25They are dogs.
15:26Now let's have our look so I can get back to the bank.
15:28Oh, but wait, dear.
15:29Don't forget your mask.
15:31What?
15:32For heaven's sake.
15:34Oh!
15:36It's that hillbilly beast.
15:39Shoo.
15:40Scat.
15:41You mongrel.
15:43Yes.
15:44Yes.
15:44Yes.
15:45Yes.
15:46Yes.
15:51Margaret, something tells me you closed that window a couple of months too late.
15:55What do you mean?
16:03Oh, Melbourne.
16:05How are we going to break this to Claude?
16:07He's already in analysis.
16:15Now, try again, Mr. Clappard.
16:18Bonjour, mon ami.
16:21Once more.
16:23Bonjour, mon ami.
16:26Good.
16:27Now, what does that mean?
16:28Uh, open a window?
16:31No, that is ouvrez la fenêtre.
16:35Uh, the pen of my aunt.
16:38No, that is la pune de ma tante.
16:43Bonjour, mon ami is good day, my friend.
16:47Oh, that's right.
16:48How long have we been at this French lesson?
16:51About 55 minutes.
16:53You say it takes an hour?
16:55That's right.
16:56Well, them last five minutes must be doozies.
17:00Now, let's take...
17:01Je t'aime.
17:04Je t'aime.
17:06Good.
17:07Now, what does that mean?
17:09Uh, let's see now.
17:10Uh, the pencil box?
17:14Mr. Clappard, I love you.
17:17Well, thank you, ma'am.
17:19But since we only got five minutes left, maybe we better stick to business.
17:23I think that, uh, will be enough for today.
17:28Where is, uh, Mademoiselle Denise?
17:30Oh, Ellie Mae took her down to the seaman pond to meet a critter.
17:35Uh, bonjour, mon ami.
17:38Excellent, excellent.
17:40Oh, howdy, you furry little barman.
17:43Well, if that's French, we've been talking it for years.
17:47I'd rather imagine she learned that from listening to Ellie Mae.
17:51Dad!
17:52Dad!
17:53Dad!
17:55Miss Drysdale's here, and she's squawking like a two-pound chicken laying a three-pound egg.
18:02There you are, Mademoiselle Denise.
18:04You may take this wanton hussy back to the streets of Paris, where she belongs.
18:10What, Mrs. Drysdale?
18:12Milburn, show them why.
18:19Oh, quel bébé précieux.
18:23Monsieur Duke, je pensais que vous êtes le papa.
18:34Duke?
18:35There sure enough is a family resemblance.
18:38He's as guilty as sin.
18:40Claude will be over later to demand satisfaction and to wreak vengeance on this mongrel.
18:46If that means he's going to tangle with Duke here, I wouldn't recommend it.
18:49I've seen this old hound dog hold his own with a bobcat.
18:53And as we're calling him a mongrel, the bloodhound happens to have much more ancient lineage than the French poodle.
18:58Milton, are you going to tolerate this insult?
19:01Why not?
19:02I'm not a French poodle.
19:05Miss Drysdale, does all this talking mean we can keep these here puppies?
19:10And this shameless canine coquette.
19:13Come on, it's time for Claude's tranquilizer.
19:25Well, is everybody staying for supper?
19:27Well, Granny, I kind of figured that Miss Denise being so far from home and all that she might want
19:33to eat supper out at one of them French eating places.
19:36Well, good.
19:37If that's what she wants, let her go.
19:39How many of us does that leave?
19:40Well, you don't understand.
19:41I'd be going with her.
19:43My cooking ain't good enough for you, huh?
19:48Granny, it ain't that.
19:49It's just I'd like to spend a little time with her alone.
19:52Oh?
19:53Well, why didn't you say so?
19:58Uh, Miss Hathaway, would you please ask Miss Denise if she'd allow me to take her out for bittles?
20:04Certainly.
20:13Something tells me that meant yes.
20:28Well, we're ready.
20:30We?
20:31Yes, you'll need an interpreter.
20:34Well, I, uh...
20:35Oh, Mr. Clampett, if you're thinking three's a crowd, you're right.
20:39But I have taken care of that.
20:42Jethro!
20:43Attendee.
20:46Hey, Uncle Jeff, Miss Jane says we's going to double date.
20:49Well, uh, that wasn't exactly the way I planned, uh...
20:53Mr. Clampett, I told Jethro that if you went out tonight, it would be a double date.
20:59Oh, well, in that case, I can't let you break your promise.
21:02Uh, double date it'll be.
21:14Well, ma'am, we didn't talk much, but I can't remember when I've had a better time.
21:18How'd you like it?
21:20Well...
21:21Dougie.
21:22How about you two in the back seat, huh?
21:23You enjoy the double date?
21:46Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin.
21:50And they would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in.
21:53You're all invited back next week to this locality
21:57To have a heaping helping of their hospitality.
22:01Hillbilly, that is.
22:03Set a spell.
22:04Take your shoes off.
22:06Y'all come back now.
22:07Hear?
22:17This has been a Filmways presentation.
22:26Viacom.
22:27Viacom.
