00:00Come and listen 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 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
00:18The 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 they moved to Beverly
00:26Hills, that is, swimming pools, movie stars
00:31The Beverly Hillbilly
01:13Oh, hi there, Granny, what you looking at?
01:15Oh, I'm looking at these pictures that Mr. Drysdale took of Sonny and Ailey
01:19Oh, yeah, he's right good, ain't he?
01:23Dandy
01:27Jed, I reckon we'll be having a wedding around here pretty soon
01:31How'd you know?
01:32Sonny's giving Ailey a ring this morning
01:35I, uh, I couldn't get to sleep last night
01:37And I heard them talking down by the door
01:41All the way from your bedroom?
01:43Well, my window was open
01:46Well, it's still a powerful long ways to hear
01:49Not after you climb out into a tree and shinny down a ways
01:54You heard Sonny asking Ailey to get engaged?
01:58Clean as day
01:59Sonny said, Ailey, you gonna be home in the morning?
02:01And Ailey said, yes
02:03Sonny said, I'll give you a ring at ten o'clock
02:08And doggies
02:10Well, it's pretty near straight up for ten right now
02:16Hello
02:17Oh, good morning, son
02:19I mean, uh, Sonny
02:22Hey, Ailey's here, why don't you come on over
02:24Oh, you wanna talk to her on the telephone?
02:26Well, just a minute
02:29Can't give a girl no ring on the telephone
02:31Telephone, Ailey
02:33Okay, Pop, I'll get it up here
02:37Granny, you hadn't ought to be listening
02:40Well, it's a lot easier than shinning down a tree in the dark
02:43I tore my knife down
02:44I sent a bunch of these back home to Cousin Pearl
02:48What for?
02:49Yeah, you know how she was always bragging about her daughter
02:53Jethreen gonna beat Ellie Mae to the altar?
02:55Yeah
02:58I sure would like to see the look on Pearl's face when she sees this
03:07Jethreen, look at this
03:08And I always bragged that you could beat Ellie Mae to the altar
03:13I can, Ma
03:14I can outrun Ellie Mae
03:15My legs is long
03:19Look, we gotta get busy
03:20Now, what time's that Jasper fella coming to court you?
03:23Six o'clock
03:24He's taking me out in his car
03:26Oh, no, he ain't
03:28He's courting you right here in my parlor
03:31Where I can see to it that he gets to the point
03:33Well, that's where he's taking me, Ma
03:35Perkins Point
03:36There's the barn dance thing
03:39I'm talking about the point of proposing to you
03:44Don't you want to get yourself a husband?
03:47Yes, ma
03:48Jethreen, why couldn't you have been born with some of my brains
03:51Instead of just my beauty?
03:54Of course, I gotta admit that
03:56You ain't quite as pretty as Ellie Mae
04:00I ain't even as pretty as her fella
04:03You are so
04:04You got something to show us, Ellie Mae?
04:09Yeah, hold out your hand, let us take a look
04:12Face clean, Pa, I washed him with soap
04:14No ring?
04:16No, Granny, I washed him all the way up to here
04:19Sonny Drysdale didn't give you no engagement ring?
04:21Shucks, no, Pa
04:22Why do you want to do that?
04:25He's gonna take me driving
04:31That's bad
04:32Out driving in broad daylight ain't no way to get engaged
04:36What are you talking about?
04:37I proposed to your daughter out driving
04:39In a horse and buggy, that's a heap different
04:41Besides, that old Mary of yours knew right where she was going
04:45That way you could turn your attention on Rose Ellen
04:47That's the truth
04:48But I'm driving in an automobile in city traffic
04:51With all them cars trying to hit you
04:54By the time you turn your head to say, will you
04:56Somebody has
04:59There's no two ways about it
05:02That child is gonna need help to track that Sonny Drysdale
05:06Ellie Mae don't need a trapin' old man to get him
05:10Every man that ever got get was get that way
05:13Not me
05:14We just happened to stop under a shady elm tree
05:17And I proposed to your daughter on the spur of the moment
05:20That spur of the moment of yours took us six months scheming and planning
05:24Why we even trained that old Mary of yours to stop under that shady old elm tree
05:32Well, any trappin' will have to be up to you, Granny
05:36I wouldn't know what to do except when I held a shotgun on Sonny
05:40Well, I'll study on it
05:42Them city fellas might be different
05:51Jed, you reckon we'll ever find out where that music comes from?
05:56I reckon if we keep a lookin'
06:05You're wasting your time of lookin' for that there music
06:07I've looked for it a dozen times
06:09And before you can find it, somebody will come a-rappin' at the door
06:15See?
06:16Told ya
06:20Oh, hi, Sonny
06:22Greetings, all
06:23Ellie Mae ready?
06:24She sure is
06:25She's been ready since she's been fourteen
06:28I beg your pardon?
06:30Well, Ellie Mae, uh, Sonny's here
06:32What we wanna know is
06:34Are you ready?
06:39Well, I sure hope you young folks have a dandy drive
06:42Oh, we shall
06:43I plan to take Ellie on a socially significant drive
06:46Through Brentwood and Bel Air
06:48To show her some of our depressed areas
06:54Howdy, Sonny
06:55Ellie Mae
06:57You look positively divine
07:00So do you, Sonny
07:01I know
07:02Sonny

07:12Please, never mind
07:13Get out of the way
07:15Well, have a nice drive, y'all
07:17Yep
07:17And if you pass under a shady elm tree
07:20It won't hurt none to stop for a spell
07:24There they go
07:25Quick, Jestro
07:26Start up the truck while I get in the rescue
07:31Where are you going?
07:31To follow him
07:37Now hold on, you two
07:38You can't follow Sonny
07:39He'll see you
07:39They won't know who we are
07:40We'll be wearing dark glasses
07:46He'll think we're a couple of Beverly Hills movie stars
07:49Out for a drive
07:52Come on off that truck
07:53Come on
08:01Jeffrey, did you pour the fudge out to cool?
08:04Yeah, Ma
08:04But I'm afraid it ain't gonna get hard
08:06Well, if it don't
08:09You and Jasper can eat it with spoons
08:11And I'll tell him I made it
08:12You done dressing?
08:14Yeah, Ma
08:14Well, come on in here
08:16And let me see how you look

08:28Now, I want you to bring out them pillowcases
08:31You've been embroidering for your hope chest
08:32The ones with his and hers working French knots
08:35Never hurt none to let a bow see
08:37You're handy with a needle
08:39But I ain't
08:40I always stick myself
08:41Well, if you do
08:42Don't bleed on the pillowcase
08:44Where you'll see it
08:46Now, when you show him
08:48The sterile optic in pictures
08:49These is the ones I've picked out for you
08:52They'll put him in the right mood
08:53Niagara Falls by Moonlight
08:56Wedding under the bower
08:59The stolen kiss
09:04Lily and Russell in tights
09:08Oh, never mind
09:11What are you going to play on the pump organ
09:13For him to show off your music talent?
09:15How about Russell O' Spring?
09:17That's a dandy
09:19Full of runs and trills
09:22And then there's the part
09:23Where you cross your hands
09:25Oh, I tell you, Jeffrey
09:27That's one place you got it
09:29Over your cousin Ellie Mae
09:30Playing the pump organ
09:34Them hands can stretch pert near to often
09:39And them feet is made for pumping
09:43Well, it's almost time for Jasper to get here
09:46How do you feel, darling?
09:48I feel like I'm going to throw up
09:51My baby shoes
09:53Aren't they cunning?
09:56Off the stiff
09:57I don't see how you ever walked in
09:59Mother had them bronzed
10:02Didn't help much
10:03They're still stiff
10:09What's this thing?
10:10Oh, that's my teddy bear
10:11His name is Boo
10:13Would you like to kiss him?
10:14Well, not especially
10:15I guess you'd rather kiss me
10:16I'll kiss the bear
10:19Oh, I guess you're not in a very romantic mood
10:22A little music will remedy that
10:27You like to dance?
10:28I ain't never tried
10:30Well, you're in for a divine experience
10:32I'll teach you
10:34Now watch
11:01How do I look?
11:02Like something's a-hurtin' you
11:04Maybe some rose thorns
11:05Are sticking your gunk
11:07Enough of these preliminaries
11:13Come here, my dear
11:19Are you frightened?
11:20No, and I ought to be
11:21Yes, you're in great danger
11:24How come?
11:26You're in a man's room alone
11:29No, I ain't
11:31You're here
11:32You are not playing the game
11:37Still feeling sick to your stomach, darling?
11:39Yeah, Ma
11:40Well, I went down to the cellar
11:41And I drawed off some homemade elderberry wine
11:44Ain't nothing in the world better
11:47For settling a queasy stomach
11:48Of course, according to the rules
11:50You shouldn't touch spirits
11:51Till your wedding day
11:52But I guess in case of an emergency
11:54A little swallow won't hurt
12:00I know it's a might bitter taste in
12:02But try and force a little down
12:03It'll make you feel better
12:08Now just a little more, Jeffrey
12:09And do it for your ma
12:11Jasper will be here any minute now
12:21Even better?
12:23A little
12:26I've got it figured
12:27How we get you to play the pump organ for him
12:29I know just what he'll say
12:31When he walks in
12:32Because everybody does
12:33He'll say
12:34What?

12:37That's a mighty fancy pump organ
12:39And you got there
12:40And I'll say
12:41Why, thank you
12:42I'm mighty partial to pump organ music
12:44And then you say
12:45Why?
12:46I'll play something

14:40Jed, it's plump past dark
14:43and Sonny and Ellie ain't home yet.
14:44Where could they be?
14:46What are they doing?
14:48Are they engaged?
14:51Why don't we hear something?
14:53Oh, that poor, sweet, innocent Ellie Mae
14:56out there in the dark with a man.
14:59Jed, maybe something happened.
15:01Now maybe something happened.
15:02Granny, calm down.
15:04Ellie can take care of herself.
15:07I reckon you ain't nervous, huh?
15:09No, just sitting here a whittling.
15:12Well, what your whittling on used to be the arm of that chair.
15:21Reckon I am a mite nervous at that.
15:23Now, Jed, when they do get home,
15:26you and me have got to see that Sonny don't get away
15:28without being proper engaged.
15:30Granny, maybe we's rushing things.
15:32Maybe Sonny ain't ready to get married.
15:34Jed, no man is ready to get married.
15:37You gotta get him ready.
15:39Like you get a steer ready for slaughter.
15:42Can't you find something else to compare it to?
15:46Well, here we are.
15:48I reckon it's time to say goodnight.
15:51I sure do thank you for the nice ride, Sonny.
15:53My pleasure, Ellie Mae.
15:55I'll give you a ring in the morning.
15:57Promises, promises.
16:00Would you like to take another drive tomorrow?
16:02Sure would.
16:04Where shall we go?
16:05To the preacher.
16:06See the price you say, Sonny.
16:08Well, see you tomorrow then.
16:10Oh, here comes the bride.
16:14Here comes the bride.
16:17Howdy, Granny.
16:19Well, then.
16:21Thanks, look who's here.
16:24Jed, come say hello to Sonny.
16:27Don't bother, Mr. Clampett.
16:29I'm leaving.
16:30I'll show you a shortcut.
16:38Howdy, Sonny.
16:39Good evening, Mr. Clampett.
16:40Jed.
16:41Now's your time to have that talk with Sonny.
16:44What talk?
16:45About Ellie Mae.
16:47I got nothing to talk to Sonny about Ellie.
16:49Oh, that's right.
16:50I'm the one that's going to talk to Sonny.
16:53You talk to Ellie Mae.
16:55Hey.
17:01Did you have something to tell me, Pa?
17:04Well, I hadn't planned on it, but maybe now's a good time.
17:09Sit down.
17:13Ellie?
17:14Yeah, Pa?
17:15Women folks like your Granny and Aunt Pearl seem to set great store by matchmaking.
17:23You just can't rest easy till everybody's paired up, and the sooner the better.
17:27Now, your Granny wants you to marry up with Sonny Drysdale.
17:32Do you want me to marry up with him, Pa?
17:35Tell me, there's only one thing in the world I want for you, and that's to be happy.
17:39Do you reckon I'd be happy married up to Sonny?
17:42Only if you love him.
17:43Well, how do you know if you love somebody?
17:46Well, I can't exactly explain how you know, but when it happens, you know.
17:51You don't need nobody to shove you.
17:53You just can't wait to get married.
17:56Now, do you feel that way about Sonny?
17:58Well, I ain't sure.
18:00Do you reckon he feels that way about me?
18:04Now, tell me.
18:05How do you feel about getting married and settling down and raising a family?
18:08I find the notion completely repugnant.
18:12That's good.
18:13That's good.
18:14One man who simply cannot be monogamous.
18:18Fine and dandy.
18:20Tell me, how do you feel about Ellie?
18:22I find her beautiful, charming, refreshingly different, but somewhat lacking in the social graces.
18:28What's that mean?
18:29Well, for example, she can't dance.
18:32Ellie Mae Clampett?
18:34Why, she's got dancing in her soul.
18:36I'm her grandma, and I want you to know I was the best dog-gone dancer that ever came out
18:41of the Tennessee hills.
18:43And her paw can outstomp a riled-up mule.
18:46Come on, city boy.
18:48Us Clampetts is gonna set your shoes to smoking.
18:52By the way, you young people can dance if you like.
18:56Not me.
18:57I'll go for some of that fight.
19:06Come on, honey, let's dance.
19:09I'll turn on the Victoria for you.
19:13Come on, sweetie, let's dance.
19:29Let's go.
19:32Let's go.
19:36Go Shiloh.
