00:01Tonight, on the Duke,
00:02Boss Hogs Bears take on the Chickasaw Chiefs.
00:05Same bet as last year, Hog, 5,000 biggin'.
00:07Big bucks for Boss means big trouble for the Duke.
00:15I see you out there on that court Friday.
00:17You and your mama might not have a roof over your heads.
00:21Bump, it's a game!
00:23Bump, I got it!
00:34Just a good old boy
00:38Never meaning no harm
00:42Beats all you've never saw
00:43Been in trouble with the law since the day they was born
00:48Straightening the curves
00:52Flatening the hills
00:56Someday the mountain might get them but the law never will
01:01Making their way
01:04The only way they know how
01:08That's just a little bit more than a normal life
01:13Just a good old boy
01:17Wouldn't change if they could
01:21Fighting the system like a true modern-day Robin Hood
01:30If you're a Duke in Hazard County,
01:33The littlest things can sometimes throw a cake in your plow line.
01:37You see, the Duke boys went fishing at Cowlick Creek.
01:40There was a frog choking flash flood,
01:42The creek rose, and the road washed out.
01:44And the Dukes was late for their meeting with their probation officer,
01:47Boss Hogg, who's about as sympathetic as a hangman.
01:51Yeah, we're in big trouble, no doubt about it.
01:53Boss probably gonna have us picking weeds off the sides of county roads for a month.
01:56Take away our voting rights.
01:58Hey, wait a minute, you know he can take away our driver's license?
02:01Worse than that, he can take away the General Lee.
02:03You're kidding.
02:04I ain't kidding.
02:05Well, shoot, we gotta talk him out of it.
02:07We got about as much chance to talk him out of it
02:08as getting him away from the dinner table.
02:10Basically, we got ourselves in trouble.
02:12And Boss was already in a bad mood,
02:14cause he had an awful case of a veld smirch,
02:17which is fancy talk for being up to your udders and problems.
02:21Boss, who are we a little rascal?
02:22Listen, tell me something.
02:24Am I or am I not personally sponsoring a peewee basketball team,
02:28the Boers and their spears,
02:29for the benefit of all the young'uns of Hazard County,
02:32unselfishly, out of my own pocket,
02:34the Boers.
02:36See, we said just a little naughty right there at the end, you see,
02:39cause you know and I know that the reason you're doing that
02:41is so you can gouge the parents when they come to the bank
02:44and at the Boers' Nest and at the Coffins' Works when they pass on.
02:47Well, that's just business.
02:48You can gouge all you want as long as you have good public relations.
02:51Oh, I do. Like a basketball team. Oh. And that is why I deserve more than to have that in
02:56-great coach
02:57tell me I was meddling too much with him and up and quit on me. He did? Yeah, he did.
03:01He took this
03:02basketball, shoved it at me and told me to stuff it. Oh, he didn't. Oh, a basketball? Oh. That match
03:09game at Chickasaw County is less than a week away and I ain't got a coo. Oh, and that means
03:14only one
03:14thing. You're going to lose 5,000 big ones to A.C. Tate Jr., just like you did every year
03:19to his late
03:20daddy. And heading toward Hazard is none other than A.C. Tate Jr. Good thing he takes after his
03:26mama. His Paul was fat and ugly. Hey, our boys going to be ready this year? Ready? Well, we ain't
03:32been
03:32beat for years with less talent than we got on this team, boss. Now, that's good. It's real good. Tell
03:37you
03:37what we'll do, rule. We'll take a peek at old Hog's 12-year-old, see what he's got up there,
03:42and then
03:42we'll drive over and see him for our annual $5,000 bet. Yeah. Come over here.
03:50Dear barber. What? What? Come over here and sit down in there because I got a surprise for
03:55you. I got it all fixed up special. You do? Yes. Do you think this will help? Yes, of course
03:58it is. You know what I did? I went down and I appropriated one of those flying fingers of
04:05fun from Petrie's No-Tel Motel. Oh, I see. It's going to relax you. Yeah. There you go.
04:24Well, back to the drawing board. Oh, little buddy. Roscoe, next time there's an election for
04:34a little idiot. I'll manage your campaign. While Roscoe was scraping balls off the wall, Jesse and
04:42Daisy was paying a visit to the recently-witted Lou Ann Moffitt. How are you, Lou Ann? Hey. Hey there.
04:49Lou Ann. Good to see you. Oh, how are you doing, girl? Just fine. Uh, uh, Daisy brought you something.
04:56Oh, well. It's one of her famous
04:59speech pies. Uncle Jesse's not famous. Well, it is, though. Uh-huh. Thank y'all. That's real nice. We just
05:05thought we'd come on by and see if we could help with anything. I noticed the storm took out some
05:09of
05:09your fence down yonder. Uh, I'll bring the boys up and we'll fix it for you. Thanks. It's real hard
05:14for Rod and me to keep the place up by ourselves. Hey, good shot, Rod. How are you? Hi, Mr.
05:20Jim. Hi, Daisy. Hi, Rod.
05:22What? Lord, how that boy has grown. And here he is at the age where he really could use
05:29a daddy. It hasn't been easy on either one of you. He'll come around. Maybe Bo and Luke
05:36could do a little fixing there, too. Well, we'd best get on home. It's a long way through
05:42Chickasaw Bridge being out and all. Yeah. We'll be back before you know it. Bye. Thanks for
05:47the pie, Daisy. You take care, huh? Okay. Bye-bye. Bye. Hey, maybe if we explain why
06:02we're late, we'll get a spring. Naturally, boss needed a new basketball coach. And the
06:09man that he picked knew a lot more about brain surgery than basketball. Roscoe P. Coltrane.
06:15All right, now, listen up, Bear. Now, you gentlemen, you see this spherical thing? This is called
06:21a ball. Now, it bounces. Oh, look at that. Roscoe, we know what the ball does. Oh, well,
06:28you see there, you're learning already. Good. Yeah. Well, Bo and Luke finally arrive for
06:34the probation meeting with boss. There, Luke. We're just freezing right here. All right,
06:38you jokes. All right. I'm going to arrest those farmers, boss. No, no, no. Hold on. Hold on.
06:42Listen, you just get back to that team, will you, and try to do some good. I'll handle
06:46them dudes. All right. Now, now, wait just a second, boss. Before you go saying anything
06:51hasty, listen to our side of the story, okay? We got trapped by the Hatchipee. I've never
06:56seen a river rise so fast. There's no way we could have made it here on time. All right,
06:59all right. So you missed your meeting. Now, you got yourselves a hearing in front of Judge
07:04Druton tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. sharp. And remember to bring your driver's licenses and
07:09your registration slip, because we'll be impounding the General Lee. It ain't like we did it on
07:14purpose. No. I don't care why you done it. The fact is, you did done it. Now, get it. I
07:20got
07:21other problems to attend to. Stop everything. I told you, Mr. Tate, our boy's going to cut
07:32them up and hang them out to dry. I feel so good about this bad rule. I'm going to cut
07:38you
07:38in. It's going to be the easiest one you ever made. You know, Mr. Tate, I almost feel
07:43sorry for them. Come on, fellas. Cheer up. I'll tell you, things could be a lot worse.
07:55I sure don't see how. I'll tell you how. We went and saw Lilian Moffat today. How's
08:00she taking things? She's better, but she's going to need a lot of help around that place.
08:05Well, after the hearing tomorrow, look at me just take a run on up there. If we still got
08:08the General. Yeah. How's little Rod doing anyway? He sure misses that Debbie.
08:13Well, maybe a visit from a couple of big brothers to do him some good. That's a good
08:18idea. Listen, you'd be surprised how that boy has grown. But you know, he just stays out
08:23there by that barn shooting baskets all day. Maybe somebody ought to talk him into playing
08:28for the Bears. They need all the talent they can get. You see that one little kid?
08:31Oh, that's a great idea. Well, Rod being on the team, making friends, that's just what
08:36he needs. It might be just what we need, too. Boss would do just about anything for county bragging
08:41rights, wouldn't he? Yeah, the Bears ain't won the Pee Wee League in years. Well, I haven't
08:44lost much off my jump shot. You think what I'm thinking? I think I am. Why don't we just
08:48run on down there and give Boss Hog a talking to first thing tomorrow morning? All right.
08:53Next morning, the Duke showed Boss a plan that would help him, help the Bears, and help
08:58themselves. It's time to practice. And I'm your coach now. Good grief. Mr. Hog, we need
09:04us a real coach. Yeah. Real? You say you need real? Yeah. Well, watch this. My famous Hog Hook.
09:16Oh, you lose something, Boss? I think we can do something with it. All right. Oh, he's just...
09:23Tommy, Tommy, hit one. No, wait a minute. Pass it around. Pass it around. Come on. Pass it around.
09:31Come on. Let's go. Let's get over here. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
09:35Listen, Boss. Roscoe. I said, did you do something? No, listen. Let's just sit down here and watch
09:39a little bit. Let's go. Oh, look. Oh, you know something? What? I may be saved, too. I
09:52may be saved. Oh, yeah. Hey, hey. Duke, Boss. Listen, I got your point. All right. Hold
09:59the ball. Hold the ball. All right. You can do the coaching. What? We'd sure like to help
10:04out with the coaching, Boss. I mean, for the kids' sake. But shoot, we're doing court in
10:08ten minutes. Yeah, so you are. Well, I'll tell you what. I'll just waive your appearance
10:11at that court hearing for the time being. Uh, well, how about you just drop the charges?
10:17Well, this can't... Please, Mr. Hahn. Can't the Dukes coach? I said they were going to coach,
10:22didn't I? But the... Listen, Boss, you let us off the hook,
10:25and we'll even come up with a secret weapon. Oh, God. Oh, goody, goody. I love secret weapons.
10:29Yeah, secret weapon, huh? What kind of secret weapon? Yeah, what kind of secret weapon?
10:33You fellas remember Rod Muffet? Well, of course I remember Shorty Muffet.
10:37It's Moffet, Roscoe. Besides, he ain't short no more. He's almost six feet tall.
10:41Yeah? Well, so what? Yeah. He's deadly with a basketball. That's so what. He is.
10:46Yeah. Oh, well, all right. You got a deal. Oh, yeah. All right.
10:50Hopefully there's one little itty-bitty condition. Yeah, just itty-inny-bitty. Ain't there always.
10:54You got to win. Yeah. Or else, yeah, you're going to be back in court and off the roads of
11:01Hazard County forever. At least. All right. Well, it looks like we're back to practice.
11:06Well, come on. Well, it seems the boys ain't out of the woods yet,
11:09because A.C. Tate and Boss was negotiating, and no good ever comes out of that.
11:13Well, same bet as last year, Hogg? 5,000 biggins?
11:17Yeah. Well, seeing it's you now, not your daddy, I was contemplating on doubling that amount.
11:23You must be drinking that swill you serve in here.
11:26Oh, don't tell me. I'm going to have to let all of Chickasaw County know that A.C. T. Jr.
11:31can't move in J.D. Hogg's financial circle.
11:33Yeah, shame, shame. Everybody knows your name.
11:35Well, what kind of cheap trick you're planning, Hogg?
11:37Oh, I'll tell you what kind of cheap trick he's playing. Right this moment, those Duke boys are on their
11:43way out of here,
11:44and they got that secret weapon. I'm talking about a big, tall Muppet.
11:48Sit down!
11:48Oh-hoo! The Muppet boy.
11:51Don't mind him. His brain's turned to molasses.
11:53No, no, no. I figure that, well, what with the law of averages and the home court advantage this year,
11:58that it's just about time for me to win. Deal?
12:02Law of averages, huh? I figure they're on my side. It's a deal! 10,000 big ones!
12:11Well, old A.C. Jr. wasn't no fool. If Boss had a secret weapon, he aimed to get it for
12:16himself
12:17and stop the Duke boys to boot. Now, he knew that with the Hazard Bridge out,
12:21the only way to the Muppet farm was through Chipper Shop, so he got on the horn to Sheriff Little.
12:26And you all know how Sheriff Little feels about the Duke boys, don't you?
12:30I want you to arrest them and haul them in.
12:33Thank you, Mr. Tate. You just made my day. They're violating their parole in their mind.
12:39Uh-oh.
12:57Oh, shoot it, Sheriff Little!
12:58Friends, one thing you don't want to be is a Duke facing Big Ed Little.
13:03He hates the boys so bad that he drew up the plans for a new jail, with Bo and Luke
13:07as a foundation.
13:28He's better than I remember.
13:30You got that right.
13:46Now, if that had been Big Ed's head, he wouldn't have even stopped.
13:50Well, he wouldn't have even slowed down.
14:02Shoot, that ain't nothing.
14:04You should have seen him this morning when Rachel burned the grips.
14:07Uh, they're living in a motel till he puts the house back.
14:10Now, the boys figured they'd have a problem convincing Rod to join the team.
14:14But then they ain't dealt with many mamas.
14:16I appreciate what you're trying to do for Rod, but the Boar's Nest Bears, that's J.D. Hogg's team, ain't
14:22it?
14:22In a manner of speaking, Luamba, we're the coaches.
14:25Yeah, and Boss Hogg, well, he only sponsors the team anyway.
14:28I don't know.
14:29I think Rod's daddy'd turn over in his grave if he knew his boy had anything to do with J
14:33.D. Hogg.
14:34But it is Rod's decision.
14:37What do you say, Rod? You want to play basketball or don't you?
14:40I just don't know, Bull.
14:42Don't feel much like being around other kids right now.
14:46Well, shoot, Rod, you wouldn't be just around kids. You'd be around Luke and me.
14:49Uncle Jesse and Daisy'd be there.
14:51Yeah, what would he say?
14:55I don't think I can just yet.
14:57I guess we can understand that.
15:00You gotta do what you gotta do.
15:03Well, would you look at there who's coming?
15:07Well, at the worst possible time, guess who showed?
15:11More good news.
15:12Mm-hmm.
15:19Good morning, Miss Moffat.
15:21Mighty fine day, ain't it?
15:22Ma'am, I see you boys made it up here all right.
15:26No thanks to you, Sheriff.
15:28Well, uh, let me get right to the point, Miss Moffat.
15:31The reason we come up here was
15:33talk to the boy about playing a little basketball with the Chickasaw Chiefs.
15:37And I got me a nice financial inducement for you, too.
15:40My boy ain't for sale, Mr. Tate.
15:42Now, now, now, wait a minute, honey.
15:44You don't refuse A.C. Tate.
15:46We are talking cash money here.
15:48You heard the lady rule.
15:50She ain't interested.
15:51There ain't nothing you can do for us, Mr. Tate,
15:53but to get off our property.
15:55Well, it's a shame you feel that way.
15:57It's a crying shame.
15:58Seeing as how you and the boy up here all alone
16:01only rode up here through my county.
16:03Come on, I'll wait just a minute.
16:04Is that some kind of threat?
16:06Yeah.
16:07I don't need to threaten women.
16:10If you should change your mind now,
16:11you, uh, you'll be sure and let me know.
16:23Matt A.C. Tate and J.D. Honger,
16:25two rattlesnakes out of the same nest.
16:27You got that right.
16:30Tell you what, Luke and me come up next week
16:31and fix them fences for you.
16:32How about it?
16:33Yeah, maybe we can play a little one-on-one.
16:35We'll see y'all later.
16:36Bye.
16:36Bye now.
16:55Ready to run, Cam?
16:56To keep Boston meddling the team to a total disaster,
16:59it was decided to hold a training cap at the Duke farm.
17:02Bye, Mr. Duke.
17:03Bye, Mr. Duke.
17:04Bye.
17:10Better catch up there, Charlie.
17:12While Daisy was leading the Bears on a little cross-country run,
17:16Bo and Luke returned with the bad news about Rod Moffitt.
17:19Look at Jesse.
17:20Look at Jesse.
17:21Dang it.
17:22Look at Jesse, we ain't got Rod.
17:24No.
17:25He turned us down.
17:27I don't know how we're going to get them kids ready by Friday.
17:29At least to win.
17:30Man, I'll tell you how you're going to get them ready.
17:33You're going to make a team out of them, just like I did you and Bo and Enos and Cooter.
17:39You remember Enos?
17:40He was about as coordinated as a rock when we started.
17:43Yeah, it seems to me.
17:44I remember when we first started playing it.
17:46We were, well, I was pretty bad.
17:47We were both pretty bad.
17:49Yeah.
17:50Oh, no.
17:52What's he doing here?
17:54There they are.
17:55Put them kids here so they wouldn't be around, boss.
17:57Well, J.D., why don't you just turn that thing and get on out of here?
18:01We ain't got time to fool.
18:03Well, who's fooling Jesse?
18:04Not me.
18:04No, sir.
18:05Hey, Bob.
18:05Listen, I brought you all a nice, extra-large new uniform for our secret weapons.
18:11Yeah.
18:11Hey, speaking of secret weapons, where is that giant of a Muffet's Muffet?
18:16The truth is he ain't going to be playing for the Bears.
18:18What?
18:18What do you mean he ain't going to be playing?
18:20What are you doing trying to pull here now?
18:22J.D., the boys are doing their job.
18:25Now, why don't you do yours and just get off my property?
18:28Listen, we made a deal and we're going to stick to it.
18:30Them boys are going to do fine Friday.
18:32Fine, fine, fine.
18:33Don't butter my bread.
18:34Listen, you better get that secret weapon back, you hear me?
18:37Yeah.
18:37Or else.
18:38Yeah.
18:38Listen, I brought your probation papers with me.
18:40Yeah.
18:41Yeah, just let me read them to you.
18:42Here, hold it.
18:43Hold it.
18:43All right, I'm going to read you from the probation papers here.
18:45Where is it?
18:46Section A.
18:47If the terms of this probation ain't met, the aforementioned probationers, that's you, Duke,
18:52That's you.
18:52will be locked up for a minimum of 60 days in the county jail.
18:56At least.
18:57Jail?
18:58Mm-hmm.
18:58And if you don't get back that secret weapon, and if you don't win that game on Friday,
19:03that's where you're going.
19:05Yeah.
19:05Now get this.
19:06Here.
19:07All right.
19:07Give them that.
19:08Yeah.
19:08Take this.
19:09Good.
19:09Find a secret weapon.
19:10Good.
19:11Good.
19:11Now when boss holds all the cards, it don't just rain, it pours.
19:15Listen, now.
19:16Going to jail is serious.
19:18Let me drive in the first place, is it?
19:21Well, I suppose we better get our practice studs on and be ready when the bears get back.
19:25Come on.
19:25Yeah.
19:29Them boys have got themselves between a rock and a hard place.
19:35Jesse, Duke, you better get up and do some recruiting.
19:39Let's go see that widow lady.
19:44I just wish it weren't Boss Hogg's team.
19:47But, Luanne, Mo and Luke are not coaching that team to help J.D. Hogg.
19:53They're coaching it to help them kids.
19:56Why don't you see if you can talk right into it?
19:59It's really up to him.
20:03Yes, it is, isn't it?
20:05Yes, it is, isn't it?
20:13That's pretty good.
20:15But, you know, if you put a little more wrist in that shot, he'll sure soften it up.
20:19Try it.
20:23So, Wei, you're good.
20:27Who taught you?
20:29My daddy.
20:31Well, he sure taught you good.
20:34But I don't think he taught you to play here by yourself.
20:36I think he taught you to play on a team.
20:41I don't want to, Mr. Duke.
20:43Not just now, anyways.
20:48It still hurts, don't it?
20:52Yes, sir.
20:54All the time.
20:55I know how you feel.
20:58Felt the same way when my daddy passed.
21:01You want to leave the house, just mope around all the time.
21:06But I had a wife then, Lavinia.
21:10And she made me see that life is for the living.
21:15And you just got to gather it up and get on with it.
21:21Mama says that, too.
21:23Mama's right.
21:24You know, God gives you talent.
21:28And the way you use it is how you pay him back.
21:33Now, you got a lot of talent.
21:35And it sure is a shame that you got to waste it when it could be helping so many people.
21:42You mean the bears?
21:44I mean the bears.
21:47And, uh, you might be helping yourself.
21:50What do you say?
21:54Okay, Mr. Duke.
21:57I'll give them a try.
21:58That's all anybody can ask.
21:59Hey, let's see if your mama's got any of that pie left.
22:02All right.
22:03Here.
22:04Louie.
22:04You got any of that pie left?
22:06Sure, Duke.
22:09So Bo and Lou got their star player.
22:11And the Boar's Nest Bears training camp was officially open.
22:15Yeah, all right.
22:21Things was looking good because Rod was looking good.
22:25And not just to the Dukes.
22:27Now, old boss had promised to stay away.
22:29But he couldn't resist not taking a peek.
22:32They're whipping us back.
22:33They got him back.
22:35Oh, that boy can shoot play basketball.
22:37We're going to win, Rasko.
22:39We're going to win.
22:40We're going to win.
22:41We're going to win.
22:51And boss wasn't the old one taking a peek.
22:55Moffat got a hand.
22:56That is your rule.
22:58We're still going to take them?
22:59Yeah, I think so.
23:01What do you mean you think so, rule?
23:03I do the thinking.
23:05You do the coaching.
23:09That night, while the Bears bedded down in the Duke barn,
23:12the only things prowling around were the possums,
23:15the Polecats, and A.C. Tate Jr.
23:21Rod.
23:23Rod Muffet.
23:25Who's that?
23:26It's me, A.C. Tate.
23:28Come over here, boy.
23:29I want to talk to you.
23:37It's about your mama.
23:39You know my coach here, Ruel McBride, don't you?
23:41No, Mr. McBride.
23:44What do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Tate?
23:46Well, I'll tell you the truth, Rod.
23:47I come up here to apologize to you.
23:50It is wrong of me to offer your mama that money.
23:53You know, Rod, the man in my position,
23:56could be mighty helpful, you and your mama.
23:58What do you mean?
23:59Well, Rod, you're the man of the house now.
24:01You've got to protect your mama.
24:03It'd just be a crying shame for y'all to lose your farmhouse over a dumb kid's game.
24:09What are you talking about?
24:11We was kind of hoping you'd change your mind about playing for the Bears.
24:15But I like playing for the Bears, especially for the Dukes.
24:20Could I please go back to bed now?
24:23I'll tell you something, boy, and you listen to me, and you listen to me real good.
24:26If I see you out there on that court Friday,
24:29you and your mama might not have a roof over your heads.
24:32Can I make myself clear?
24:35Well, good.
24:36That's really good.
24:38And you go on over there and get yourself in bed, and you think on it.
24:45It sure is a shame what a mess some adults can make out of a kid's game.
24:53All right, rise to the sky.
24:55Come on, you guys.
24:55Not a bet.
24:56Let's go.
24:57Come on.
24:57Come on.
24:58Get up, Tom.
24:58Stacy's got a little bit of practice on the table, and we got us a lot of practice.
25:01That's for sure.
25:02Come on.
25:02Get up.
25:03Where's Rod?
25:04Huh?
25:06Don't look like he slept in his bed all night.
25:08Listen, go in the house and have days to give Lou Ann a call, all right?
25:11All right.
25:12Listen, you guys, get your shoes and socks on.
25:13We're going to go looking for Rod, all right?
25:18Bo and Lou figured they'd best check the road to the Moffett Farm first.
25:21Which meant Chickasaw County, and...
25:25Doggone it, Sheriff Little again.
25:28Cooperate now, or I'll make you stop.
25:30Sorry, Sheriff.
25:31We ain't got the time to be sociable with you.
25:40Where are you going?
25:42Open country.
25:43Open country.
26:02Hang on.
26:03Hang on.
26:07Hang on.
26:09Hang on.
26:10Hang on.
26:11Hang on.
26:11Hang on.
26:11Hang on.
26:11Hang on.
26:11Hang on.
26:11Hang on.
26:13Hang on.
26:23It's a good thing he promised Rachel to control his temper.
26:28While Jesse and Daisy and the kids were scouring the countryside,
26:32Luke had a pretty good hunch where Rod might be.
26:56Good morning.
26:57Hi.
26:59What have you been up to?
27:01Thinking.
27:04You didn't want to head home to Mom, huh?
27:07No.
27:08Can't run home with Mom every time I have a problem.
27:12Well, it seems to me I remember a time when Luke and I stopped running home to Uncle Jesse with
27:17ours, too.
27:20Speaking of problems, did you solve yours yet?
27:25No.
27:28Mr. Tate and Mr. McBride came by last night.
27:31What'd they want?
27:32They said they'd take the farm away if I played for the Bears.
27:35Well, of all the dirty little...
27:37Listen, Rod, he can't do that to you.
27:39They're just trying to scare you.
27:40You sure?
27:41Yeah.
27:42Let's just talk, Rod.
27:43That farm's bought and paid for.
27:44Your dad made sure of that.
27:45Look, A.C. Tate can't do nothing to you and your mom as long as Luke and me are around.
27:49We promise you that.
27:50Now, what say we get back to practice?
27:52You got it.
27:56All right, nice shot!
27:57All right, come on.
27:57Take it up here.
28:01All right.
28:01Shoot it!
28:03Take it on up there, Tommy.
28:04All right.
28:05All right, let's go.
28:06That backdoor play.
28:08There you go.
28:09Real nice.
28:09Come on, Tommy.
28:10Get it on in there.
28:11All right.
28:11They're looking awfully good.
28:13A team?
28:14We got ourselves a team.
28:17Well, it didn't take too long in a small place like Hazard for A.C. Jr. to get wind of
28:22the fact that old Rod was back with a bag.
28:24And not one to be out of none, he had a backup plan that he knew wouldn't fade.
28:28You know, Rule, this time we're going to make sure that Moffat kid stays off the team.
28:33Dukes or no Dukes.
28:35Yeah.
28:41Oh, shit.
28:47Good morning, Mr. Tate.
28:51Enos, how are you?
28:54We don't see you around these parts too often.
28:57Oh, how are you?
28:59Boy, you're sticking to duty.
29:00I like that in the deputy.
29:02I like it.
29:02Mr. Tate.
29:03You know, I need me a good deputy over to check us off.
29:06Yes, sir, but I really appreciate that, sir.
29:09But, see, I've been here a long time.
29:11You sure if Little ain't got one over there?
29:13Now, friends and neighbors, I don't know what he's doing.
29:16But it can't be no cause for celebration.
29:31It was Hazard's turn to host the big game, which meant that Boss had a monopoly on the
29:35concession business.
29:37Come on, folks.
29:38Step right up.
29:39Get them on the list.
29:40Get them.
29:41There are only two tickets left.
29:42Well, the Jefferson Davis Hog Memorial Bin.
29:45Yeah, right here.
29:46That's right.
29:46Otherwise, they're standing room only.
29:48No, no, no, not you.
29:49Don't sit down.
29:50You're supposed to be working, ain't you?
29:51You and Enid.
29:52Oh, well, yeah.
29:52Yeah, go get them.
29:53Start selling.
29:59Enid, listen, I want you to push the tutti-frutti, you know.
30:03It's not popcorn and that soft drink.
30:05If you push tutti-frutti, it's tough.
30:06Tutti-frutti!
30:07Get your half tutti-frutti!
30:09Yes, sir.
30:10Get your tutti-frutti!
30:12Right here.
30:12Oh, thank you, sir.
30:13Uncle Jesse was chosen official scorekeeper, timer, and referee.
30:17Because everyone knew that he was the most honest man in six counties.
30:22And there they come, the boar's nest bears, all flickered up just like in New York.
30:29Here come the Chickasha Chiefs.
30:31Now, I don't want to put a dapper on this, but Chickasha gets more basketball scholarships
30:36than any other county in the state.
30:38They start young.
30:39Get them right here!
30:44All right, let's go, Steve!
30:47Damn, come on!
30:49Hey, thank you.
30:49All right.
30:50Now, fellas, they, uh, they ain't so good.
30:53Come on, you guys.
30:54There's a lot of fancy running around.
30:55Come on, let's go.
30:56Come on, let's keep going.
30:58Come on.
30:58Come on.
30:59Come on, Bear.
31:00There you go.
31:02How about that?
31:06All right, all right.
31:07Captain and the coaches to the center of the court, please.
31:11All right, now, I want a fair game.
31:14You all know the rules, so play fair.
31:16Now, shake hands and come out and play.
31:18Hold it.
31:19Hold on everything here.
31:22I'm lodging a protest.
31:23A protest?
31:24How can you lodge a protest?
31:26We ain't even started the game here.
31:28Yeah, and you ain't even gonna start the game until I see some proof of that Moffat boy's age.
31:32I heard he ain't 12.
31:33Yes, I am.
31:35Ask my mama.
31:36Mom ain't good enough, boy.
31:37I need written proof.
31:39And if you can't provide it, well, you forfeit the game.
31:42What are you saying?
31:43Forfeit the game?
31:44Oh, by my bad body.
31:45Why the heck should we forfeit the game?
31:47He's saying Rod's lying about his age.
31:49What?
31:50Written proof, hog.
31:51I need written proof.
31:53We all know that Rod's 12.
31:54Of course we do.
31:55Yeah, we all know it, he's 12, but the rule is the rule.
31:59If he wants written proof, we've got to get him written proof.
32:01Written proof.
32:03Ladies and gentlemen, there's going to be a slight delay in the game, but hang in there,
32:08we'll be back directly.
32:10Let's get over to that courthouse and get him written proof.
32:13All right, go to the courthouse, get written proof.
32:18Hey, Luke, what's wrong?
32:25Have you seen Luann Moffat anywheres?
32:27Uh, no, I haven't.
32:28Let's see if you can find her and bring her over to the courthouse as quick as you can.
32:31I'll fill you in later.
32:32All right.
32:36Well, according to this, Rod Moffat is 13 years old.
32:41Oh, no, 13!
32:42Let me see this thing.
32:44What is the date on this here?
32:45All right, 1970.
32:46Forfeit the game, hog.
32:48Huh?
32:48Never!
32:49No.
32:49Listen, it smells to me like somebody's been tempering with these here official records.
32:54And I'll bet my boots I know exactly who it was.
32:56Namely, A.C. Tate, Jr.
32:59Yeah, shame, shame.
33:00Oh, come on.
33:01Now, why would he want to do a thing like that?
33:02It's just a kid's basketball game.
33:04Oh, why, why, why, why?
33:05Well, it may be a kid's basketball game, but it was a man's size bet that little Muffin
33:09here, he bet $10,000, and if it...
33:11Please!
33:13You mean you're betting money on a game these kids worked so hard for?
33:17What?
33:17Yeah, well, so what if I did make a teeny, itty-bitty little bet?
33:20Yeah, a little teeny.
33:21Yeah, I mean, it don't change nothing on account if I lose, you Dukes do too.
33:26Yeah.
33:27Well, documents don't lie.
33:29And that Moffat kid is one kid who ain't gonna play.
33:32But, but...
33:33J.D.
33:35Until I get different proof, I'm afraid the boy's disqualified.
33:42Listen here, AC, you can just wipe that smile right off your face.
33:45Yeah.
33:45On account of that first certificate's got your fingerprints all over it.
33:48I'll knock it off.
33:49You just...
33:50Listen here, Rod Muffis, never 13.
33:53I don't care how tall he is.
33:55Well, now, he doesn't have one whisker.
33:57You two boys better find a way to prove how old he is and get him right back in the
34:01game.
34:01Well, speaking of games, I gotta get this one on the road.
34:04I'm duty bound.
34:05Now, come on.
34:06Shoot.
34:06No, no.
34:07I got an idea how to prove that he's 12.
34:09Jeez, we need some more time.
34:11Time?
34:11Oh, time.
34:12That's all you need.
34:13Well, we can arrange that.
34:15Are you kidding?
34:16Of course we can.
34:17How are we gonna do it?
34:18Huh?
34:19Oh, come on.
34:21Hey, what happened in there?
34:23A lot.
34:23Yeah.
34:24Listen, Luanne, you don't happen to have a copy of Rod's original birth certificate, do you?
34:28Why?
34:29Well, the records in the Hazard courthouse say he's 13 years old.
34:32He's 12.
34:33I ought to know I'm his mama.
34:35Where was he born?
34:36Capital City Hospital.
34:37I bet they have the right records there.
34:39I bet they do.
34:40Listen, here's the plan.
34:41We're gonna start the game without Rod.
34:43Now, you take Daisy and you head over to Capital City, all right?
34:46All right, and we'll get the papers, bring him back here before the game's over.
34:48You do that.
34:49All right.
34:51Well, it's a long way to the hospital, and with the game about to start, things don't
34:55look promising for the Duke.
34:57And look what's up ahead.
34:59All right, hang on, Daisy.
35:07All right.
35:09I think I've got time for my cat and mouse then now.
35:13Somehow, there's more at stake here than just a basketball game, like a young fella's future.
35:18And the Dukes know it.
35:32He okay?
35:36Well, it doesn't look too happy, Bo, but I think it's okay.
35:46I just bet he don't give up.
35:49Meanwhile, back at the outdoor arena, a certain amount of confusion had set in.
35:54But it ain't fair.
35:55I am 12.
35:56I know you're 12.
35:58We gotta do something.
35:59I mean, without Rod, we don't have a chance.
36:01Now, that ain't necessarily so.
36:03I think y'all can be proud about the way you've come together this week.
36:07Now, you're gonna surprise them.
36:08You may surprise yourselves.
36:09The Bears was mighty upset.
36:11Now, look around.
36:13And Boss was determined to stall the start of that game as long as he could.
36:17Oh, oh, oh, oh.
36:17Would you look at this, Roscoe?
36:18Oh.
36:18Yeah, it appears to me this ball has too much ear in it.
36:21Oh, definitely.
36:22That sucker's too fat there, doesn't it?
36:24Let's see here.
36:25I just...
36:27Oh, oh, oh.
36:29Look at that.
36:30You two quit fooling with a game ball.
36:33It's just all squishy now, Boss, like you.
36:35Oh, yeah, it is.
36:36Quit stalling.
36:37Rule, get another ball.
36:39I demand you start this game, Jesse.
36:41Yeah, but not with no ball from Chickasaw County.
36:43I demand that we use an official basketball.
36:45That's right.
36:46You dang fools let the air out of it.
36:49Start the game, Jesse.
36:51J.D., he's right.
36:52We gotta start the game.
36:53Lou, start the game with whatever ball you can find.
37:02You get on in there and get what we need,
37:04and then we can get out of here before Sheriff Little spots us.
37:08All right, hurry up, Daisy.
37:11Oh, shoot.
37:19While Bo was trying to avoid Sheriff Little
37:21on the streets of Capitol City,
37:22Jesse was starting the game.
37:32Bravo.
37:34Wow.
37:39Woo!

42:28Good idea, good idea.
42:44Now, that's more like it.
42:46With the grown-ups out of the way and Rod in the game, the Bears started to close the gap.
42:51I can't just foul him now.
42:55Stop his feet in the ground.
