Mr Drysdale tries to help the Clampetts become more civilised by lending them some servants; Miss Hathaway invites Jethro to go bowling with her, and shows some interest in him.

00:00Listen to my story about a man named Jed
00:02A poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed
00:05And then one day he was shooting at some food
00:07And up to the ground come a bubbling crude
00:10Oil, that is, black gold, Texas tea
00:14Well, the first thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire
00:18The kinfolk said, Jed, move away from there
00:21Said, California is the place you ought to be
00:23So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Bargolene
00:26Hills, that is, swimming pools, movie stars
00:31The Beverly Hillbillies
00:56Can she bake a cherry pie?
01:12Billy boy, Billy boy
01:14Can she bake a cherry pie?
01:16Charmin' Billy
01:17She can bake a cherry pie
01:21Quick as a cat can wink her eyes
01:23She's a young thing
01:25And cannot leave her mother
01:29Well, Granny, did you pick out your spot yet for the garden?
01:37Yep.
01:37I kind of favor a patch right close here to the house.
01:41Oh, I'll plow you up something there directly.
01:43Yeah, just enough for some onions and taters and some rudy bakers.
01:47And a few rolls of corn.
01:49Paul?
01:51Morning, Granny.
01:52Morning.
01:52Paul, can I help you with the plowing and the spaden?
01:55Well, Ellie, I'd rather you put on one of them pretty dresses that Miss Hathaway got you.
02:00But, Paul, I can plow better than these clothes.
02:02Nice plowing.
02:04You know, Ellie, I'd like you to wear one of them dresses kind of regular.
02:06Wouldn't you, Granny?
02:07You're mighty fetching in a dress, Ellie.
02:10Pretty in a tub of fresh churned butter.
02:13Paul, if I go to wear them dresses, Jethro will make fun of me.
02:16I reckon he hadn't better.
02:17Now, you run along and put on something with skirts.
02:20All right.
02:21But he hadn't better make fun.
02:22He won't.
02:23He won't.
02:25You know, speaking of Jethro, I think he's got himself a sweetheart.
02:29The banker's secretary?
02:30That's right.
02:31They was out together last night.
02:32What'd they do?
02:34Well, I don't rightly know for sure, but it was something to do with bowls.
02:37All you do with bowls is eat.
02:41Yeah, I reckon that's what it was then.
02:43She said she was going to take him bowling.
02:46You know, Jed, I kind of like that, Miss Hathaway.
02:49Yeah, I think she kind of likes us, too.
02:52Cousin Ellie, you're a city girl.
02:55Now, do you think...
02:55You see there, Paul?
02:56I told you this would happen if I took to wearing these dresses.
03:00You call me that again, and I'll turn you every way but Luke.
03:03This ain't nothing but city gal.
03:09Ellie may clamp it.
03:11Get up from there or you're going across my knees.
03:13And Jethro, you're going across mine.
03:15What did I do that was so off-fire bad?
03:18In that dress, she looks just like a city gal.
03:21You're dead again!
03:25I reckon we better go out there and see if she don't hurt him.
03:33Ellie may!
03:37Leave me, leave me, Ellie may!
03:44Jethro, now that we're living in the city,
03:46you've got to learn to use the steps.
03:52Don't be happy to know that I'm making splendid progress with Ellie May.
03:55She's trying to get me quite a lady.
03:57Fine.
03:58But it's Jed, Granny, and Jethro we've got to work on.
04:01Clothes, manners, the works.
04:03What have you done about servants?
04:04That's a problem, Chief.
04:06They're basically opposed to the whole idea of able-bodied people
04:08letting others do their work for them.
04:10Well, that's a refreshing attitude.
04:12But we've got to get a skeleton staff in there somehow.
04:16A combination butler and valet for Jed and Jethro.
04:19Who helped them assemble a wardrobe,
04:21teach them how to...
04:23Ravenswood.
04:24Your butler?
04:25He's never been my butler.
04:27Came with my wife like an overweight dowry.
04:29Been in her family for years.
04:30And with Margaret in Boston,
04:32I can certainly spare him,
04:33plus her upstairs girl, Marie.
04:35I doubt if you can sell Mr. Clampett on the idea of servants.
04:38Get him on the phone.
04:39I'll make him think he's doing me a favor
04:41by taking them off my hands for a while.
04:43Right, Chief.
04:43She hadn't ought to throw me down on my head like that.
04:48What if I'd have been carrying a frog in my hat?
04:50You ain't supposed to be wearing your hat in the house.
04:53Well, Granny, where's a fella gonna carry a frog?
04:55They jump out of your pockets.
05:01Hello?
05:02Oh, howdy there, Mr. Drysdale.
05:05Glad to have you back from Boston.
05:07Your missus come with you?
05:09Oh, that's too bad.
05:11Well, the reason I called Mr. Clampett is,
05:14I have a butler.
05:15Well, he really belongs to my wife's family.
05:17But he's been with us ever since we were married.
05:20And I was wondering if you'd let him come
05:22and stay with you for a while.
05:23You mean board with us?
05:25Well, I guess you could call it that.
05:28Who's gonna board with us?
05:29Just a minute.
05:30Uh, some kin of Miss Drysdale named Butler.
05:34Uh, why, we be just...
05:35That's that no good fat rascal
05:37that wouldn't let Ellie and me in
05:39to help Miss Drysdale when she was sobering out.
05:42Hello?
05:43Uh, Granny was talking at me, but she's done now.
05:46Oh, no, she ain't.
05:47Just a minute.
05:48Granny, let me hear the men out,
05:49and then we can talk it over.
05:51Yes, sir, Mr. Drysdale.
05:52I'm a listener now.
05:53Well, in addition to Ravenswood,
05:56he's the butler,
05:56you can also have my wife's upstairs girl, Marie.
06:00Margaret may be away for some time,
06:02and I have absolutely no use for him.
06:04Well, uh, I sure would like to oblige.
06:07Me and Granny will talk it over,
06:08and I'll call you.
06:09Oh, thank you.
06:10You'll be doing me a great favor.
06:12I was glad to help out when I can.
06:14Thank you again, Mr. Clabbert,
06:15and goodbye.
06:21Is somebody coming to live with us, Uncle Jed?
06:24Maybe, Jethro, uh, maybe.
06:27Why don't you, uh,
06:28go out and make up with your cousin Ellie.
06:31Okay, Uncle Jed.
06:33All right, good.
06:34Let's have it.
06:35We gonna board that footer fella?
06:38Well, uh, Mr. Drysdale
06:39will take it mighty kindly if we did.
06:41He says he ain't got no use for him.
06:43I don't like him myself.
06:45Granny, you only met him once.
06:48Once was enough.
06:50I ax him real nice.
06:51I said, are you a-doing for Ms. Drysdale
06:54that she's feeling poorly?
06:55Are you doing the washing
06:56and the scrubbing
06:57and the cleaning fur?
06:58And he looks right down his nose at me
07:01and says,
07:02Madam,
07:02I am a butler.
07:06I reckon he is proud of his name.
07:09Kind of fancy.
07:10Ravenswood butler.
07:11I don't care if it's Stonewall Jackson.
07:14And I think Mr. Drysdale
07:16has a lot of gall
07:17to ask us to take his wife's kinfolks
07:19off his hands.
07:20Well, now,
07:21I'm mighty beholden to him.
07:23You know,
07:24he's keeping my 25 million dollars
07:26in his bank
07:26and he ain't charging me
07:27one penny to do it.
07:29Well, that's his business.
07:30You didn't actually do it.
07:32Well, now, Granny,
07:33if it was just Mr. Butler,
07:34I might agree with you,
07:35but there's a sad side
07:37to the story, too.
07:38What's that?
07:39Well, you've heard
07:39of Mr. Drysdale
07:40speak of his stepson.
07:42That's his wife's boy
07:43by her first marriage.
07:44The one they call Sonny?
07:46Yeah.
07:46Well, it seems
07:47she's got a girl, too.
07:48And there must be
07:49something wrong with her.
07:50What?
07:51Well, I don't know,
07:52but they keep her upstairs.
07:54No.
07:55Yeah.
07:56He spoke of her
07:57as my wife's upstairs girl.
08:00The poor thing.
08:03Her name's Marie
08:03and he'd like us
08:04to take her
08:05and Mr. Butler.
08:06Don't gong it, Ted.
08:07We got enough to do
08:09to take care
08:10of this big place
08:11without...
08:12He didn't say
08:14what was ailing her, huh?
08:16Well, no,
08:17but if you ask me,
08:18they ain't eating
08:19right over there.
08:20No.
08:21You know what
08:22Mr. Drysdale told me?
08:23What?
08:24His wife ain't never
08:25cooked grits
08:26and hog jowl.
08:27Ah, go on.
08:29That's a fact.
08:31Nor mustard greens
08:32and possum belly,
08:33nor pone
08:34and squirrel shank,
08:35nor even
08:36boiled chicken hog.
08:37Oh, land of mercy.
08:41You can't hardly blame
08:42Mr. Butler
08:43for getting a mite cranky.
08:44Man don't eat right,
08:45he gets that way.
08:47Well, yeah.
08:48I reckon it won't do
08:49no harm
08:50to take him in
08:50for a spell.
08:52Granny,
08:54with such a little woman,
08:55you've got
08:55an awful big heart.
08:57Well,
08:58I feel sorry
08:59for the poor girl.
09:01But the first time
09:02that fancy pants
09:03Mr. Butler
09:03looks down his nose
09:05at me,
09:05I'm gonna chuck him
09:07in the cement pond.
09:08Now,
09:23I'm doubling
09:24your salaries
09:25for the length of time
09:26you stay at the clamp at home.
09:27But if one word of this
09:28gets back to my wife
09:29in Boston,
09:30you're both out of work
09:30with no references.
09:32Actually,
09:32you will find the clombers
09:33to be basically fine people.
09:34All they need
09:35is a little polish.
09:36polish.
09:37They need sandblasting.
09:38However,
09:39I think Miss Hathaway's plan
09:40may overcome
09:41their initial resentment
09:42of wearing city clothes.
09:44Yes,
09:44I think I have devised
09:45rather a clever strategy.
09:47To put it briefly
09:48and succinctly,
09:49my strategy is
09:50as follows.
09:52I shall propose
09:53to the clampets
09:53that they sit
09:54for a family portrait.
09:57As you know,
09:58my hobby is
09:59painting.
10:00Now,
10:03I shall suggest
10:05to the clampets
10:06that their attire
10:06match their background,
10:07which is, of course,
10:08their beautiful mansion.
10:10They will no doubt
10:10see the logic
10:11of my didactic approach,
10:13accede to my wishes
10:13darn suitable raven,
10:15and,
10:15once they have seen
10:16themselves thus attired,
10:17take...
10:18We're in.
10:18Let's go.
10:22We forgot to
10:23dust the stair rail.
10:24I'll do it, Granny.
10:25Hey,
10:34wearing boys' clothes
10:35does come in handy
10:36sometimes.
10:37Hi, Ginger, Granny.
10:38I think we got her
10:39all spick and span
10:40for the company.
10:41Hey,
10:41in a speck of dirt,
10:42no place.
10:43Can I go swimming now?
10:44Me too?
10:46As soon as we help
10:47Granny clean up the kitchen.
10:55There goes that music again.
10:57Sure, it is.
10:57Great.
10:58You ever find out
11:00where that comes from?
11:01Know them, Granny.
11:02Every single time
11:03I commence to looking for it,
11:05somebody comes to the door.
11:07Nobody to the door now?
11:09There will be.
11:10You'll see.
11:16Doggies, that's nice.
11:17Don't put you in
11:18and see can we find it.
11:19You're wasting your time.
11:21I'm telling you,
11:22before you can find it,
11:23somebody will come to the door.
11:25There, you see?
11:28Happens every time.
11:30I remember, Ravenswood.
11:32I'm counting on you.
11:32Don't fail me.
11:33You have my word, sir.
11:35I've been buttering
11:36valet since boyhood,
11:37as was my father before me
11:39and his father before him.
11:41And I've yet to meet
11:41the man or woman
11:42who posed a social problem
11:43too difficult for me to handle.
11:45That's the spirit.
11:47Howdy there.
11:48Remember me, Mr. Butler?
11:50No!
11:52Ravenswood, come back!
11:54You gave your word!
11:55Come back, you coward!
11:57Come back here!
11:58I'll cut off
11:59your French benefits!
12:04Ravenswood probably
12:05forgot something.
12:07He'll return shortly.
12:08Meanwhile, this is Marie.
12:10This is Drysdale's
12:11upstairs girl.
12:12Marie?
12:13J.D.
12:14J.D.
12:14Clampett.
12:15Howdy.
12:16Jethro Bodine.
12:19Ellie Mae Clampett.
12:22And Grandma Clampett.
12:24No, ma'am.
12:26I am a Moses.
12:28Pardon?
12:29Granny's related on my wife's side.
12:31They's the Moses family
12:32from Tennessee.
12:33Then your name is
12:34Granny Moses?
12:37Grandma Moses.
12:39That's right.
12:40There was a very famous
12:42Grandma Moses
12:42who painted primitives.
12:45I've whitewashed
12:46a few myself.
12:50I'll show Marie
12:50to her room.
12:52Listen, Marie, honey.
12:54Over here,
12:55you've got the
12:56run of the house.
12:57You don't have to
12:58hide upstairs.
12:58Ain't nothing wrong
13:03with that girl,
13:04but want some good
13:04cooking will cure her.
13:06She's half starved.
13:08Poor thing is so weak,
13:09her knees
13:09keeps a-buckling on her.
13:11She's kind of purdy,
13:12though,
13:12for a skinny girl.
13:13Just wait till she gets
13:14a mess of Granny's
13:15grits and hog gel.
13:17That'll fill her out.
13:19Then I'll get
13:19some a-cookin'.
13:21Guess that butler fellow
13:22will be coming back
13:22directly.
13:24Oh, and Granny,
13:25we have some of that
13:26salted-down possum belly
13:27that Ma sent us?
13:28Well, I reckon
13:29it is kind of
13:30a company meal.
13:32Granny,
13:32open up a jar
13:34of them pickled
13:34crow gizzards.
13:36Now, Jeff,
13:37we don't want
13:38to spoil these folks.
13:40They might get
13:41to thinkin'
13:41we eat like that
13:42every day.
13:45Hear me?
13:46Will you do
13:47something nice for me?
13:48Sure, Pop.
13:49Will you go get
13:50into that pretty dress
13:51again?
13:52Oh, Pop,
13:54Jeff will make
13:55fun of me.
13:56No, I won't,
13:56Ellen May.
13:57Cross my heart.
13:59Well, I am.
14:00That's my darling.
14:02And then,
14:02you'd be real nice
14:03to Marie.
14:04She's had a bad life.
14:06I'll be nice to her.
14:07She's pretty.
14:09Let's all be nice.
14:13Your appearances
14:14deceive you.
14:15Oh, dearly.
14:16Oh, I do admit
14:16on the surface
14:17they do seem
14:17a bit rough,
14:18even cruel.
14:19But I assure you
14:19underneath,
14:20they are placid,
14:21kindly,
14:21and gentle.
14:22See?
14:22You shouldn't have
14:23called me a
14:24penny, girl.
14:25Ellen May,
14:25leave me alone,
14:26please, Ellen May.
14:27Let's do it.
14:28Ellen May,
14:28please,
14:29say it again.
14:29All right.
14:32Ellen May,
14:32please,
14:33everybody,
14:33Ellen May.
14:34Oh!
14:41Mr. Butler,
14:42don't never say
14:43anything nice
14:44to that girl.
14:45She'll kill you.
14:46Oh!
14:47Oh!
14:47Oh!
14:47Oh!
14:48Come back here!
14:52Thomas!
14:53Come back!
14:53You promised!
14:55Jan,
14:56Ellie
14:56throwed me down
14:57in my head again.
14:58If she don't stop that,
15:00I'm going to get a headache.
15:01Where are you on her?
15:02You through?
15:03Golly!
15:04All I said was
15:04she's pretty.
15:06That ain't no call
15:06to bust a fella's head.
15:10Pardon.
15:12Oh, howdy, Marie.
15:13Hi, Marie.
15:13Are you hungry, darling?
15:16No, madam.
15:17I'm wuppling up
15:18something here
15:18to just set your mouth
15:19to watering.
15:20Put some strength
15:21in your limbs, too.
15:22Tell her what it is,
15:23Granny.
15:23A very big mess
15:24of grips and hog dowels.
15:26And salted down
15:26possum belly.
15:27Oh, pickled crow gizzers.
15:29How do you like that?
15:30Don't tell me
15:31that child ain't hungry
15:33while she's ready
15:34to drop in her trash.
15:35Set her at the table
15:36and I'll dish up a mess.
15:37No, please.
15:38I only came in
15:39to bring you a message
15:40from Miss Hathaway.
15:41She's preparing
15:42to paint a family portrait
15:43and she wishes to know
15:45if you all will sit for her.
15:48May I tell her
15:49that you will sit for her?
15:51Oh, yeah.
15:52I reckon we'll do that.
15:53Merci.
16:02Well, just get at it.
16:04I reckon it's all right
16:23to talk while we're sitting.
16:25Yeah, I reckon.
16:27I found out something
16:28about Marie.
16:29What?
16:31She's scared of Mr. Butler.
16:32How'd you know?
16:35I asked her
16:36to go swimming with me
16:37and she says
16:37he wouldn't allow it.
16:39What business
16:40is it of his?
16:41That's what I said.
16:43And she says
16:43he's a butler
16:44and I'm just
16:45an upstairs girl.
16:47I got to do
16:47whatever he said.
16:49We'll see about this.
16:52Ah, dinghies.
16:53Let's get Mr. Drysdale
16:54to find him
16:55and give him
16:56a whoopper.
16:57I'll catch him, Granny.
16:58Ellie, you go
16:59put a dress on
17:00like you promised.
17:04Uncle Jed,
17:04I'm going swimming.
17:06If I see him,
17:07I'll fetch him in.
17:08Don't go jumping in
17:09with your clothes on again.
17:10Oh, I won't, Uncle Jed.
17:11Miss Hathaway,
17:12she gave me
17:12a present last night.
17:14She says
17:14it's something special
17:15for her to go swimming in.
17:16What'd she give you?
17:17Oh,
17:18pair of trunks.
17:20You go swimming
17:21in a cement pond.
17:24Boy,
17:25it's too big
17:25to go swimming
17:26in a trunk.
17:27Jed,
17:27in a parable.
17:30I got a feeling
17:31that Mr. Butler
17:32fellow
17:32is going to be troubled.
17:33Yeah,
17:34we can handle him.
17:35Well,
17:36I still say
17:37that I think
17:37Mr. Drysdale
17:38has a lot of nerve
17:39to ask us
17:40to board
17:40his wife's relations.
17:42Well,
17:42he's just fed up.
17:44Man can get
17:45awful tired
17:46of having
17:47his wife's kin
17:47underfoot
17:48all the time.
17:57He told me
17:58that Butler fellow
17:59had been a living
18:00with him
18:00ever since
18:01they was married.
18:02I declare
18:03some in-laws
18:04latch on to
18:05free room
18:05and board
18:06like leeches.
18:07It takes a mule
18:08kick to jar him loose.
18:10You can't hardly
18:11blame Mr. Drysdale
18:12for trying to get
18:13shed of a critter
18:14like that.
18:17Is that the way
18:23you feel?
18:24You bet it is.
18:27I'll see how fast
18:28I can get packed.
18:31I'll get out
18:32from underfoot
18:33just as quick
18:33as I can.
18:34wait a minute.
18:37No, Jed.
18:38I know
18:39what I'm not
18:39wanted.
18:40It don't take
18:41no mule
18:42kick to get
18:42shed of me.
18:43Darnation.
18:44Granny,
18:45I wasn't
18:45talking about.
18:47We couldn't
18:47get along
18:48without you.
18:48No, Jed.
18:50I'm just a
18:51burdensome
18:51old woman.
18:52No good
18:52to nobody.
18:54Why don't you
18:54throw me
18:55down the well?
18:58Go ahead.
18:59Pick me up.
19:00Carry me
19:01out to the
19:01well and
19:02throw me in.
19:04Stop talking
19:05right there.
19:06Uncle Dan!
19:07Uncle Dan!
19:08Look at him!
19:09I caught him.
19:10Mr. Drysdale,
19:11he gave out,
19:12but I caught
19:12this fat
19:13little rascal.
19:13You going to
19:16rip me, Granny?
19:17No, Jed.
19:17Joe, I'm going
19:18to get thrown
19:19down the well.
