00:00On the Dukes, a carnival of thrills invades Hazard County, which is nothing new to the Dukes.
00:08You're just lucky that we're in Uncle Jesse's house, that's all.
00:10We can always step outside.
00:15We need a top stunt driver to make a 32-car jump.
00:23Judgment Day is nice.
00:30Just a good old boy, never meaning no harm.
00:42Beats all you've never saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born.
00:49Straightening the curves, flattening the hills.
00:53Someday the mountain might get them, but the law never will.
01:02Making their way, the only way they know how.
01:09That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
01:12Just a good old boy, wouldn't change if they could.
01:22Fighting the system like a true modern-day Robin Hood.
01:25Woo-hoo!
01:31Now this here is a love story.
01:34Love between men and women, and men in cars.
01:38It takes place in Hazard County.
01:39Oh, I just can't wait to get there.
01:45I just love these automobile thrill shows.
01:47I don't see why we're wasting our money to go over there
01:50when we got Bo here to put on a show of his own.
01:58Welcome to the Carnival of Thrills.
02:00It's a little daredevil show that hits a lot of small towns in the south
02:04and draws a lot of local lead foots, like bees to honey.
02:09And this here is a little honey that runs the show.
02:13Ladies and gentlemen, just a few moments.
02:19In just a few moments, Carnival of Thrills will present its most death-fying attraction.
02:22Ladies and gentlemen, in just a few moments, Carnival of Thrills will present its most death-fying attraction.
02:48The crowd sounds like they're really with you today.
02:50You're going to be dynamite.
02:51All right, everybody.
02:53Lay in the crack.
02:54I don't want anybody to get hurt.
02:55It hurts.
02:56We'll be in here just enough for people.
02:58Thank you so much.
02:59Thanks a lot.
03:00It's all right.
03:01Don't worry about it.
03:01We can't worry.
03:02There we go.
03:03You shouldn't be.
03:04All right.
03:04And now, Carnival of Thrills presents the main attraction of this afternoon's performance.
03:12A death-defying leap over 32 parked vehicles in the center of the arena.
03:18And I'd like to present the star of our show, Mr. Bob Dexter.
03:24Let's hear it all, folks.
03:30I feel great.
03:31I feel great.
03:32Well, go to it, boy.
03:33I'll buy a little kiss for good luck.
03:45That's the best part about this job, getting that kind of attention from the owner.
03:49Now, that's what I call enough inspiration to make a man able to jump clear out of this arena.
03:57And this is it, folks.
03:59The moment you've all been waiting for.
04:01Some of you lady folks out there are too scared to watch.
04:04Better hide your eyes on your boyfriend's shoulder until it's all over.
04:08You ready, Bob?
04:14You just want to make your hair stand right up on in.
04:17Settle back, keep your fingers crossed, and your eyes glue to the excitement.
04:24He's losing power, Bob.
04:35Look at these.
04:36They'll take you.
04:42He's getting out of the passenger side of the car.
04:45Bob's okay.
04:47Is he going to be all right?
05:02He's all right.
05:03Ladies and gentlemen, I'm happy to say things aren't as bad as they look.
05:07Bob will be just fine.
05:09What went wrong?
05:11Lost his nerve in the last second.
05:13Carl, every stunt driver isn't like you.
05:15Forget about the past.
05:17Start worrying about the future.
05:19Where are we going to find another sucker to make the leap for life when we get to Hazard?
05:22That's not till next week.
05:24Believe me, I'll find some local country boy begging for the chance by then.
05:27Life in Hazard ain't all chasing cars and women.
05:39Running a farm is a lot of hard work.
05:42But they do take a few breaks.
05:44Hey, Bob.
05:45Yeah.
05:48Hi, fellas.
05:50You reckon she chased us all the way from Cedar City?
05:52I told you we should have paid for them tickets instead of jumping the fence.
05:57Hey there, little lady.
05:58How you doing?
06:00Looks like pretty hard work.
06:01Oh, yeah, but it's worth it.
06:03You'd be surprised how many pretty little ladies we meet this way.
06:05Thanks.
06:06I'm looking for the owner of the local fairgrounds, Mr. J.D. Hogg.
06:09You know where I can find him?
06:10Well, if he ain't out foreclosing some poor widow's mortgage
06:13or shortchanging the customers down at the bank,
06:16you'd probably find him over at the boar's nest,
06:19skimming the take and watering down the liquor.
06:21Well, you can't miss it.
06:22You go down here to Highway 7,
06:24and you take yourself a left,
06:25and it's the first boar's nest on the right.
06:27There you go.
06:28Thanks.
06:29Yeah.
06:29Hope I see you again sometime.
06:31Hope you see me again sometime, too.
06:34Bye-bye.
06:39Take it easy, now.
06:42Whew!
06:44Cousin, that is one pretty lady.
06:47I know just what you're thinking.
06:48Now, let's stop your daydream and let's get back to work.
06:54All right, let's see now.
06:56There's a two-day rental at my fairgrounds.
06:59It's $525 a day.
07:01And your carnival permit,
07:03and your county license fee,
07:05and your interest, and your sales tax,
07:07and your et cetera, and your et cetera,
07:08and that comes to a grand total of $3,797.53.
07:19Yeah, just like I said.
07:21Good old girl.
07:21I'm proud of you, buddy.
07:24I hope you don't mind taking a post-dated check, Mr. Hogg.
07:27Are you kidding, lady?
07:28The boss taking a post-dated check,
07:31that's about as likely as a pig laying eggs.
07:33Roscoe, you hush now, will you?
07:35Oh, there's nothing personal I was using.
07:37Well, Miss Benson, I ordinarily don't accept post-dated chicks,
07:41but I'll tell you what I will do.
07:43I will take a promissory note for your rental on the fairgrounds,
07:48appealable in full on the last performance.
07:53How about that?
07:55Well, now, what have we got to lose?
07:58Here, just sign right there on the dotted line.
08:01Oh, yeah, just sign right there on that dotted line.
08:03Well, you're very understanding, Mr. Hogg.
08:07Thanks.
08:07We'll see you after the show on Saturday.
08:09That's a good idea.
08:12Nice to meet you.
08:13Yeah.
08:14So long.
08:15Bye now.
08:17Bye.
08:17Bye.
08:17Have a good show.
08:18Have a nice one.
08:19Boss, can I ask you something?
08:23Yeah, what?
08:25Why would you extend credit to those carnival people
08:27when you know they ain't got a dime in their jeans?
08:30All right, I'll tell you.
08:31Because that's the best time to extend credit to anybody, cowbell.
08:35You see something?
08:38That lady ain't never gonna sell enough tickets
08:42to pay the rent on the fairgrounds
08:45what was her star attraction
08:47laid up in the hospital back in Cedar City.
08:50Oh, no.
08:50You see, that promissory note she signed
08:54pledges all the show's property as collateral.
08:57And if she can't pay the rent,
09:00why, all I gotta do is foreclose
09:02and the whole shebang,
09:04the whole carnival of thrills
09:05is mine for five cents on the dollar.
09:15Subject left the office of County Commissioner J.D. Hogg
09:18at precisely 5 p.m.
09:21Continuing surveillance.
09:23J.D. Hogg's carnival of thrills.
09:26Thrills.
09:26I'll be the talker showbiz.
09:29I sure will.
09:29Have my picture plastered all over the place.
09:33Plastered?
09:34Of course.
09:35I will have to take off a pound or two
09:38slimmed down for my TV image.
09:41Oh, now, boss,
09:42I don't think you have to worry about that
09:44because your TV image will fit on any TV set
09:47in Hazard County.
09:48Yeah.
09:49As long as it's an extra wide set.
09:51Yeah, yeah.
09:52Well, it's just...
09:53All right, Roscoe.
09:54On your way out,
09:55you give this bottle to the bartender
09:57and tell him to sell it to one of the customers.
10:00But tell him to do it quick
10:01before it loses its fears.
10:03Oh.
10:03Because we don't want to cheat nobody now, do we?
10:05Oh, no.
10:06Oh, good.
10:07Oh, the fears.
10:08Oh, no.
10:08Oh, no.
10:09Oh, no.
10:09Oh, no.
10:09Oh, no.
10:10Oh, no.
10:10Oh, no.
10:11Oh, no.
10:13Yeah.
10:13Yeah.
10:13Yeah.
10:14Yeah.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Yeah.
10:15Yeah.
10:22Easy now.
10:22Take it easy with those cars.
10:23Now that you're running the fairgrounds,
10:27you're going to have to find some sucker to fill it.
10:29We'll leave it for life.
10:31I told you.
10:32That won't be a problem.
10:33Well, it never is, is it?
10:35Let's make a play for some local yokel,
10:37draw the home crowd,
10:38flash those baby blues on him,
10:40tell him he's got charisma.
10:42And before you know it,
10:43he'll be trying to jump 50 cars
10:45he's so flipped out on me.
10:46Well, it worked on me, didn't it?
10:48After your daddy crashed,
10:49you inherited a show without a star attraction.
10:52It took you about three weeks
10:53to convince me I was the greatest thing on wheels.
10:55Took you about that long
10:56to replace me after I crashed, didn't it?
10:58You never got over that, did you, Carl?
11:00Donnelly's got that hard
11:01with this busted-up knee, man.
11:03It's not my fault
11:04you weren't as good as you thought you were.
11:06Still the best driver you've ever had.
11:08Correction.
11:09You were the best.
11:15During the next few days,
11:16half of Hazard County
11:17was covered with posters
11:18advertising the big race.
11:21Easiest hundred bucks we'll ever make.
11:22Got it.
11:23All right.
11:24Diane knew that every
11:25lead-footing Hazard
11:26would be itching to get his hands
11:27on that prize money.
11:28And somewhere in that local talent,
11:30she just might find the driver
11:32that she needed
11:32to get the show back
11:33on his feet again.
11:35And one belt.
11:36Ought to do it.
11:38Much obliged, Scooter.
11:39Now, gentlemen,
11:40there is the small matter of the...
11:42The bill.
11:42The bill.
11:44Yeah, the bill.
11:45Well, uh...
11:46Hey, why don't we talk about it
11:46next month, Scooter?
11:48That's what you said last month.
11:49Well, we're talking about it,
11:50ain't we?
11:53You ain't got a customer.
11:55Howdy.
11:56Oh, hey, listen, darling,
11:57we gotta stop meeting like this.
11:58People might start to talk.
12:00They might.
12:01Can I help you?
12:02I was wondering
12:03if you'd hang these posters
12:04up in your garage.
12:05Yes, ma'am.
12:05You can hang anything
12:06you want to in my garage.
12:08You boys figure on entering the race?
12:10No, we're figuring on winning it.
12:12Yeah, so as they can pay me
12:13the money they owe me
12:14for these parts.
12:14Now, hold on.
12:15Matter of fact,
12:16why don't you just pay me
12:17and eliminate the middlemen?
12:18You seem awfully confident.
12:21Shoot, fire ma'am,
12:21you ain't seen these boys dry.
12:23Well, I'm looking forward to it.
12:25Yeah.
12:26See you at the fairgrounds.
12:27Yeah.
12:30You sure will.
12:31Hey, boss,
12:39boss, you look like a steamed clam.
12:45Better turn this heat down
12:46a little bit.
12:46Now, where'd you get your brains?
12:48In a thrift shop?
12:49How do you expect me
12:50to lose the pounds I have to
12:51if you lower that temperature?
12:53You know, that carnival,
12:55you know, they're gonna have
12:55a road race for publicity.
12:57And those Duke boys,
12:58they've entered it
12:59and they might win.
12:59And if they do,
13:00half of Hazard County
13:01is gonna turn out
13:02just to watch them
13:02pick up the prize money.
13:04But you just better make sure
13:05they don't win, you hear me?
13:07You just stop them Duke boys
13:08or else I'm gonna divorce
13:09your fair sister
13:10and make a move
13:12back in with you.
13:13Oh, no, no.
13:14You hear me now?
13:16Get in.
13:19Mm, mm, mm, mm.
13:21Oh, Roscoe, you cow chip.
13:23I said I wanted to sweat
13:25my bills.
13:28And the next day,
13:29the cream of the Hazard
13:31lead foots
13:31were all bunched
13:32and ready.

13:45The winner will receive
13:46his prize money,
13:47the performance
13:47on Saturday.
13:48Who knows?
13:49We might even throw in
13:50a little extra added bonus,
13:52like a full-time job
13:53with the show.
13:54All right.
13:54All right, fellas,

14:18but here's a little
14:19something for good luck.
14:21Oh, you best make up
14:22your mind
14:23with your court
14:23and your driving

14:27All right, y'all,

14:30Clear the track
14:30on both sides.

15:06on both sides.

17:47Break the break are all races.
18:07Looks like we're picking up a fourth.
18:09One Roscoe P. Coltrane.
18:11Now let's split the crossroads.
18:12I doubt if he can follow all of us at once.
18:1410-4, Luke. We'll turn right here.
18:17No, you don't do that, you rascals.
18:26I'm just, I'm serious now.
18:28You're gonna mess with the man.
18:29You're messing with the man.
18:33Boys might as well give up,
18:34because I'm going to stick to your tail like hot butter on a corn gum.
18:40That's the first bit of truth I ever heard him say.
18:45Let's see if they can jump over this.
18:46Come on, Roscoe.
18:47Yee-haw!
18:58When we get back, we'll see if old Roscoe's had time to build a nest.
19:01You're so dead set on arresting somebody, though, you ought to run yourself in.
19:19If you're trespassing on Jeb Tompkins' land, he ain't never lost too much love for you.
19:34Let's do it.
19:35We don't know.
19:36Let's hit it.
19:38Let's go!
19:39Hazard drivers may be crazy, but they're good sportsmen, too.
20:06They gave Bo and Luke back the position they had before old Roscoe had joined the race.
20:22I told you, my cousins were hot drivers.
20:27I bet that's not all they're good at.
20:33Oh, that's fantastic!
20:40I'm proud of you! Give me a hug!
20:45Congratulations.
20:46Oh, shoot, it weren't nothing.
20:48Now, about that job with the show I mentioned. We need a top stunt driver to make a 32-car jump.
20:5332 cars? Man, I have to be a dang fool to even think about doing something like that.
20:57That's assuming he had something to think with in the first place.
21:00Wait a minute, Luke. I think we can make it.
21:03Bo, don't you remember what happened to the guy who tried it over there in Cedar City?
21:07You always let other people do your talking for you?
21:09Well, no, ma'am.
21:10Say, Bo?
21:11Yeah.
21:12Do you think you're good enough to make that jump?
21:14With my eyes closed.
21:16But, my stunt driving days is gonna end after y'all pay me that money on Saturday.
21:21I see.
21:22Well, why wait that long?
21:24Carl, why don't you pay this chicken off so he can get out of here?
21:28My pleasure.
21:29Hey, hey, hold it, Hoss. Now listen, wait a minute.
21:32You sure are a pretty little lady, but I don't take kindly to be called chicken by nobody.
21:35Take it easy, Bo.
21:36Who are you, his babysitter?
21:38I just thought that maybe for once I'd found myself a real man.
21:42Well, lady, maybe for once you have.
21:44Carl, you just put that money away till after they make that jump on Saturday.
21:48Bo, you can't do that.
21:49Something we're gonna have to find out now, isn't it?
21:51Then maybe me and the little lady here have something nice to talk about.
21:55Bye now.
21:56You know, I've been wondering when that fella was gonna show up again.
22:05Meanwhile, Uncle Jesse spent all morning preparing the victory celebration.
22:11Mmm, mmm, mmm.
22:13Well, you smell that.
22:15Now, that there is the best crawdad bisque I ever did make.
22:17I'm liable to have to charge you $100 of your prize money just for a bowl.
22:21Well, you better pour it back in the pot, then.
22:23My rich cousin turned down the prize money.
22:25Well, why would you do a foolish thing like that?
22:27So he can do something more stupid on Saturday?
22:29Like jumping over 32 parked cars.
22:3132?
22:32Now, how do you plan to do that?
22:33You gonna get an aeroplane or you just gonna let Maudine de Mille kick you over?
22:38Uncle Jesse, look, with the right ramp, the general can do it with his eyes closed.
22:42And besides, Diane's gonna give me an extra $150.
22:45So we have more to spend on your funeral, huh?
22:48Daisy, there ain't gonna be no funeral.
22:50Besides, I ain't just doing it for the money anyway.
22:54And it's gotta be that girl.
22:55Bo Duke, I never thought I'd see you running around acting like a love-starved cat at feeding
23:00time.
23:01Daisy, Diane ain't got nothing to do with this.
23:02Uh-huh.
23:03Well, now, if it ain't money, and it ain't love, and the three of us know it ain't brains,
23:09why in the world are you doing it?
23:11Well, you think it's funny, huh, Luke?
23:13Well, I'm doing it so you and me can build up a big enough reputation to get on the NASCAR circuit
23:17at all.
23:18It's just something we've been dreaming about since we was knee-high to a grasshopper.
23:20Bo, the boys on that NASCAR circuit are the safest, steadiest drivers in the world.
23:25Now, the last thing they want on that track with them is some carnival hotshot with a lead
23:29foot and a brain to match.
23:30Luke, you've got no right to tell me what they do.
23:32Now, just a minute.
23:33Bo, sit down.
23:34You know, I don't allow no arguing at my table.
23:37Now, you just sit over there, Daisy.
23:39Now, simmer down.
23:44Uh, dear Lord, we thank thee for this bounteous table that...
23:53Now, who in the world would interrupt a man when he's talking to his almighty?
23:58Uh, uh, amen.
24:00Get that.
24:01Yes, sir.
24:02You're driving nuts.
24:07Hi.
24:08Yeah?
24:09I hope I'm not interrupting anything important.
24:12Uh, no, ma'am, uh, me and my family just having a little friendly family discussion is all.
24:17I just thought we should get our relationship started off on the right foot as soon as possible.
24:21Uh, well, yeah, sure, sure thing, Diane.
24:25Why don't you make that partner?
24:27You think you could meet me here at my RV by one o'clock for lunch?
24:30Uh, one o'clock?
24:33Well, yeah.
24:34Well, it's for business.
24:35I guess I have to be there, huh?
24:37I'll be looking forward to it.
24:38I'll be looking forward to it.
24:39And, Beau, if you get here a little bit early, don't bother to knock.
24:52Your crawdad's is getting cold.
24:55Um, listen, Uncle Jesse, uh, I gotta run.
24:58I gotta run.
24:59Right now?
25:00After Uncle Jesse spent all morning cooking up these vittles for you?
25:03Beau?
25:04Well, Daisy, I know, but...
25:06Well, listen, Uncle Jesse, I wouldn't do nothing to hurt you, but this here's business.
25:09Business?
25:10Since when you've been so all-fired anxious to go to work?
25:13Now, just simmer down a little bit, Luke.
25:15Uh, listen, if Beau's gotta go, and it's for business reasons, well, then he's gotta go.
25:19Go ahead on.
25:20That's a keep.
25:21Thanks a lot, Uncle Jesse.
25:22Hey, Beau, take my Jeep.
25:24Well, what's wrong with General Lee?
25:26Nothing, I hope.
25:27But if you're planning on jumping him over 32 parked cars, I'm gonna take him over to Cooter's and check the timing.
25:32Thanks a lot, y'all.
25:33Bye-bye.
25:34And I'm gonna have him check my checking of the timing, and then I'm gonna check his checking of my checking of the timing.
25:39Yeah, I'm gonna check you both.
25:56So?
25:57Uh, yeah.
25:58Just me.
25:59Hey, you told me not to knock, and I never disobey a direct order from the boss.
26:03Good.
26:04You can start by opening the champagne.
26:05Yeah.
26:06Uh, yeah.
26:07Hey, you told me not to knock, and I never disobey a direct order from the boss.
26:09Good.
26:10You can start by opening the champagne.
26:11Yeah.
26:12Champagne, huh?
26:13Champagne, huh?
26:14Um, you see, we don't, we don't get much champagne at Hazard.
26:15Heh.
26:16Now get those wrecks parked off together.
26:17I want plenty of room for those bikes and packages.
26:18Ah!
26:19Ah!
26:20Ah!
26:21Ah!
26:22Ah!
26:23Ah!
26:24Ah!

27:07Ah, Scholarship.
27:08Ah!
27:09All right.
27:12To the carnival.
27:14And us.
27:17All right.
27:31The show was still a few days away,
27:33and the box office was humming and selling tickets like it was to the second coming.
27:39The show was still a few days away.
28:09Bo Duke.
28:10I can't hear you. Stop whispering. Speak up.
28:13Bo Duke.
28:14You know, he's going to make that 32-car jump, boss.
28:17I know all about this.
28:18Did you know that the tickets are selling like wildfire?
28:21Wildfire?
28:22Uh-huh.
28:22Well, you better put out that wildfire.
28:24Oh.
28:24Before they sell enough tickets to pay the rental on the fairgrounds
28:29and keep me from taking that show away from them.
28:31Well, I'll do that.
28:32I'll get on it like a chicken on a worm sandwich.
28:35Just one thing, boss.
28:37How am I supposed to do that?
28:38Well, use your brain if you've got one.
28:41Oh, Duke can't make that jump without that orange car here.
28:43Oh.
28:44The General Lee.
28:45Yeah, the General Lee.
28:46So steal it, wreck it, confiscate it, whatever.
28:48Oh, oh, oh, oh.
28:51You hit your head on my gun.
28:52I'm getting you, little buddy.
28:53Listen, I'm sorry about that.
28:55I bet that smarts don't it.
28:56What would you know about smarts?
28:58Just get that vehicle.
28:59Day or night, rain or shine, legal or otherwise.
29:02Just get it, will you?
29:03I'll get it.
29:04Listen, I'm sorry about that boo-boo up there.
29:07That ain't nothing compared to the boo-boo I got for a shelf.
29:10Now get it.
29:11Oh, I'm going.
29:15Land home.
29:18Does that sound right to you?
29:22Really better, much better myself.
29:25Hop in.
29:31Hey, Lucas.
29:32I got an idea.
29:33What's that?
29:34Why don't you leave this old boy just flat out?
29:36Let's see what it'll do.
29:37Your wish is my dream.
29:47Where are they going?
29:48Well, here I come.
29:57Well, you, Duke, you ain't shaking me like that.
30:00All right, you boys in the general league.
30:13You just pull on over there.
30:14You could have lost me here.
30:16Well, I do believe I hear the golden tones of one Roscoe P. Coltrane.
30:20He picked the wrong day to play catch.
30:22Friends, it looks like old General Lee better be pulling some pretty slick maneuvers.
30:35All right.
30:52I got you.
30:53Now, Roscoe, correct me if I'm wrong, but ain't there some sort of law against tailgating in this county?
30:58I was not tailgating.
31:00What I was due, I was in hot pursuit of two potential violators of the Vehicle Code.
31:05That's what I was.
31:05We wasn't even going 55.
31:07That's right.
31:07That's not what I'm getting you for.
31:08You see, what I'm getting you for is a busted taillight.
31:11Because anybody with a busted taillight is definitely a hazard to any citizen in Hazard County.
31:17So I'm going to have to impound this bill.
31:19But Roscoe, that taillight ain't busted.
31:25It is now.
31:27Roscoe, you got to be out of your mind treating people's property like that.
31:31We ain't no dogs.
31:32What do you think?
31:32Hold on a second.
31:33Hold on.
31:34Don't you threaten me.
31:35Get me off.
31:36Easy.
31:37Just settle down.
31:38I'm surprised at you.
31:39Talking back to Roscoe like that.
31:41Now, he's got a point.
31:42As long as he's got a busted taillight, the general is a hazard to public safety, he ought to be impounded.
31:47Are you sure?
31:48He ought to.
31:49Well, yes.
31:50But he busted it.
31:51Now, that's beside the point.
31:53That's beside the point.
31:54He's done everybody a big favor.
31:56I'm much obliged, Roscoe.
31:56Thanks a lot.
31:58Well, that's right.
31:59Oh, hey.
32:00I'm going to impound it, you know.
32:02Yeah.
32:03You mean you don't.
32:04Gee, listen.
32:07You're lucky you're needed around.
32:09I can throw you in a slammer.
32:11What Luke didn't know was that old boss had other things in mind for the general.
32:23That's a beautiful sight, ain't it, Roscoe?
32:25Oh, it's beautiful, beautiful.
32:26All them rolling eyesores on the way to recycling.
32:32Why, the next time them Duke boys pop open a can of beer, the very can they're drinking out of might just be a reincarnation of the right front fender of their car.
32:44I love it.
32:45I love it.
32:45You sure you want to do this, Mr. Hogg?
32:47Huh?
32:47I mean, there ain't nothing wrong with General Lee except the little old $2 taillight glass.
32:53Enos, a broken taillight means a moving menace to the citizens of Hazard County.
32:58Well, at least can't we make a little old phone call to Bo first?
33:01Enos, will you get in the cab of that car carrier with Waldo?
33:03And I don't see how to hear you until that orange clunker has been squoved small enough to fit into that itty-bitty space between your ears.
33:13Now, get.
33:13Yes, sir.
33:14All right.
33:44You sure don't care much about expenses, do you?
33:49Using my best shell car for your first trial practice?
33:52Well, shoot.
33:52This here's the only one with as much horsepower as a general.
33:55I'm going to need it to make that jump.
33:57Besides, I won't even scratch the paint.
33:58In that case, be my guest.
34:00All right.
34:00All right.
34:00I'm going to need it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make
34:30Okay.
35:00Oh, boy.
35:09Sweetheart, I'm gonna need at least another hundred feet in front of that ramp for him.
35:15I'm even gonna make that big jump with a general.
35:18You sure you've never done any stunt driving before?
35:21I don't know. I fool around with cars a little bit.
35:25Got it down to a science.
35:28I've never seen anyone take to this kind of thing so fast.
35:30Well, cars ain't the only thing I'd take too quick.
35:32Good. I like that even better.
35:36Incidentally, we've got an extra RV in case you want to move a little closer to your work.
35:42Well, sweetheart, I just might take you up on that.
35:47Nah, I better go see how Cooter and Luke are doing on the General Lee or I ain't never gonna get out of here.
35:50Don't you think you're spreading it a little too thick?
36:03Hardly. He's the best stunt driver we've ever come across.
36:06The second best, maybe.
36:07Present company included.
36:11If Bo works out the way I think he will, we'll be a cinch to land the state fair circuit.
36:15Just like my daddy always hoped we would.
36:17Well, don't be taking that new kid too serious.
36:20Carl, I'll take him as seriously as I have to.
36:23We need a new star.
36:25And Bo will do until someone better comes along.
36:28Which I don't think is very likely to happen.
36:29While Bo was heading for the garage to meet Luke and Cooter,
36:43the General was heading for the Crusher.
36:45And none of them boys know a thing about it.
36:55Hey, Bo, you're just in time for lunch.
36:57Oh, shoot, I'd love to, Daisy, but I already had a little something at the fairgrounds.
37:02Say, y'all are eating lunch when you're supposed to be tuning up the General.
37:04What's going on?
37:05Oh, uh, we finished that a couple hours ago.
37:07And according to these fellas, he's riding better than ever will.
37:10Well, all right.
37:12Uh, I don't see him outside nowhere.
37:15Where'd y'all put him?
37:16Well, he had one small problem as a busted taillight.
37:19And even though Roscoe kicked it out himself,
37:21he saw fit to have the General towed off the impound yard.
37:24Knowing Roscoe, it could be anywhere.
37:27Shepard the Lost Sheep.
37:42Shepard the Lost Sheep.
37:43This is your Uncle Jesse.
37:45You better be listening, because Judgment Day is nigh.
37:48You got your ears on?
37:50Craze could come in.
37:51That's which one of them sheeps you want to talk at, Uncle Shepard?
37:54Come on.
37:55I'm looking for all of them.
37:56A car carrier just passed me at Willow Creek Road.
38:00And it was loaded with clunkers, including the General Lee, headed right for the junkyard.
38:06And Enos was sitting up front with a driver just pleased at punch.
38:10Enos makes it official.
38:12I'll do that.
38:13We'll be right on it, Uncle Jesse.
38:14He must be headed for the crusher.
38:15I hope you're real, real proud of yourself, Luke.
38:17The General's probably going to get crushed, all because you want to keep me from making
38:20that jump.
38:21Oh, you got it half right.
38:23Now, I admit I let the General be impounded to save your neck.
38:27But I only figured on letting him hold it until it's too late to make the jump.
38:30You think...
38:30I'll say amen to that, and you would, too, if you weren't so crazy in love.
38:34Cooter, would you quit siding with him?
38:35Now, look, it don't do no good to argue.
38:37We might still have time to stop him.
38:39How?
38:39That car carrier's halfway to the crusher right now.
38:42Now, we'll just take a short step.
38:43Got a four-wheel drive here I just tuned up.
38:45You drive it, I'll ride a shot, then let's go.
38:48You always get shot.
38:49You're hitting it.
39:15That crusher's got almost as big an appetite as old Ball's hog.
39:40And I reckon General Lee's gonna wind up dessert.
39:43You're hitting it.
39:49¶¶
40:18Ain't it funny how you can get emotionally attached to a car?
40:36Hi, Luke.
40:38All right, hold on a second. Now, here's the impound line. Now, put that car down.
40:43No way, Jose. Boss hogs order.
40:45Wait a minute!
40:48Hey, hold it, hold it!
40:58Eat it!
41:01Eat it!
41:02Eat it!
41:04Go on!
41:06Eat it!
41:10Eat it!
41:11Eat it!
41:13Just don't wake you up and have me a little honey!
41:15Eat it!
41:16Eat it!
41:17Eat it!
41:18Bye!
41:20Eat it!
41:24Eat it!
41:25Eat it!
41:30Oh, my God.
41:33Oh, my God.
41:54Kinkoo, dog.
41:56Oh.
41:57Kinkoo.
41:58Hey.
41:59Take a gander of that poster I got up there on the wall.
42:02I had it redesigned.
42:04See the fellow up at the top?
42:05Oh.
42:06That's gonna be the new me.
42:08Boy, it is amazing, boss, what dieting and willpower would do for a man's body.
42:14Yeah, willpower.
42:16One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
42:30I hope you'll forgive me for counting a spell for doing my duty, but it's the only way I can think of being a lawyer to my friends and my job both.
42:39Sheriff, this is Deputy Strait at the Crusher.
42:42It's Enos.
42:43Enos, do you know that it's chow time?
42:46Will you call back in about an hour, hour and a half?
42:48Over.
42:49But Sheriff, the Duke boys and Cooter just grabbed the General Lee from the Crusher.
42:55From the Crusher?
42:56Well, what are they gonna use it for now?
42:59An oversized people weed?
43:02Over like people weed.
43:05Well, I hate to disappoint you, Mr. Hogg, but last time I saw General, it was flat getting it on all eight.
43:12You mean they stole it right out of that junkyard?
43:15Well, not exactly.
43:16They offered the impound fee, but that foreman just knocked it clean out of Luke's hand.
43:21Oh, good, good.
43:23Without acceptance of the impound money, that car still belongs to Hazel County, which means we got Bo and Luke Duke on the charge of Grand Theft Auto.
43:32You hear that Enos?
43:35Over and out.
43:37And out.
43:38And eaten.
43:39Oh, looky there.
43:41No, no, no, boss.
43:43Naughty, naughty.
43:44See, this one is mine.
43:46See, this one is roast beef, chicken, salami, sardine, liverwurst, ham, lettuce and tomato and avocado on sourdough.
43:52This one is yours.
43:54That one is lettuce.
43:57Hold the roast beef, chicken, salami, sardine, liverwurst, ham, lettuce and tomato on sourdough.

44:51because number one he knows that i'm the only one in this whole dang county that can make that jump
44:55including himself and also he's a little bit upset because that pretty little filly's falling in love
45:00with me and not him now look i can understand her falling in love with either one of you fellas
45:04any girl in hazard county would want to go out with either one of you you know that and heck if i wasn't
