00:00Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed.
00:03A poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed.
00:05And then one day he was shooting at some food.
00:08And up through the ground come a bubble and crude.
00:11Oil, that is, black gold, Texas tea.
00:16Well, the first thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire.
00:19The kinfolk said, Jed, move away from there.
00:22Said, California is the place you ought to be.
00:24So they loaded up the truck and removed the Beverly Hills, that is.
00:29Swimming poos, movie stars.
00:32The Beverly Hillbilly.
01:02This is where the Clampets live, but there ain't no one in.
01:05Cause they went home for Christmas and a visit with their kin.
01:09And here they are arriving at the home they love the best.
01:12Happy as a pack of squirrels returning to their nest.
01:26Five undergraduates, the old place ain't changed a bit.
01:29Purdy as ever.
01:30Purdy or witch, no.
01:31Excuse me, Pa, but I got some friends to say hottie to.
01:35Yes, sir.
01:35They just don't make houses like this no more.
01:39Sure don't make them in Beverly Hills.
01:42I'll go get the bags, Uncle Jed.
01:44Reckon they just can't get wood like this.
01:46My grandpa chopped down the trees and built this all by hand.
01:51You say your grandfather built this cabin?
01:53He sure did.
01:54Oh, he must have been a remarkable man.
01:56He sure was.
01:57He finished the cabin in the morning, went to town, found a girl,
02:01courted her, married her, and carried her across that doorstep all before sundown.
02:08Tell me, Granny, was that 18 and 97 or 18 and 98?
02:1418 and 98.
02:17Yeah, that's right.
02:17She was 18 and Grandpa was 98.
02:21You say he was 98 and his bride was 18?
02:25That's right.
02:25Marriage didn't work out too good.
02:27Well, I don't doubt it.
02:29Yeah, Grandpa made the mistake of having his maw come live with him.
02:34Awful bossy old woman.
02:36Wouldn't let that little bride do nothing.
02:38Get everything herself.
02:41Your family has remarkable longevity.
02:44No.
02:45Yeah.
02:46They stretched the truth a little, too.
02:49Oh?
02:49Grandpa was the day over 90 when he married that girl.
02:53And his maw didn't bust up the marriage.
02:56That poor little bride just wore out, having so many young'uns to take care of.
03:04Oh, uh, what, uh, what happened to Ellie Mae?
03:07Well, she just went to say howdy to some of her friends.
03:10Oh.
03:18Maggie?
03:20Maggie, it's me, Ellie Mae.
03:22I come back to visit you.
03:24Oh.
03:28Not you, Henry.
03:30Oh.
03:31Right now I'm looking for Maggie.
03:33You seen her?
03:34You're supposed to be so doggone wise.
03:37Where is she?
03:38Oh.
03:39Well, Davy Crockett.
03:41Say, you're looking bushy as ever.
03:43What's the matter?
03:45What you scared of?
03:46Don't you remember me?
03:48Please, Davy, don't run away.
03:52Oh.
03:53Howdy, Mr. Beaver.
03:54It's me, Ellie.
03:57What you kicking snow at me for?
03:59Oh, please, Mr. Beaver.
04:02Come back.
04:04Clampett, I certainly appreciate you're letting me use your cabin as a field headquarters.
04:09I've got a few things in the bedroom.
04:10I'll get them out.
04:11No need for you to do that, Mr. Brewster.
04:14We're just going to be here a couple of days.
04:15Granny, Granny and Ellie can use the bedroom and you and me can kind of curl up here in front
04:20of the fire.
04:21That's my kind of you, Mr. Clampett.
04:23But I'll find a place to stay in town.
04:24No need for you to drive all that way through the snow.
04:27You're here, you're by the oil field, and Granny cooks up a big meal that's really sick to your rib.
04:33What you cooking in the bar, Granny?
04:36My special Christmas holiday vittles.
04:38They'll start with red cabbage and green turnip tops, swimming with sorghum.
04:43Then what I call my heavenly hash.
04:46That's grits and chitlins, possum belly, hog jowls, and catfish.
04:51All minced together and simmered in gopher gravy.
04:55Post-talk eggs.
04:59Now there's vittles you won't forget in a hurry.
05:02I'll try.
05:04What do you say, Mr. Brewster?
05:06Roar's too hard, we'll get some pine boughs and ashes for you to sleep on.
05:11Well, I think I'll go into town.
05:13Thank you very much.
05:14Excuse me.
05:17What's the matter with you two asking him to stay here?
05:21You want me to be a witter all my life?
05:23I was gonna offer him my spare room.
05:26You ain't got no spare room, Pearl.
05:28I have if Jethro stays here.
05:30If Mr. Brewster stays with you and Jethreen, won't people talk?
05:33I hope so.
05:35And Jed can insist on him marrying me.
05:37I'm gonna get him, now's my chance.
05:40You'd likely hold with making a man get married unless he wants to.
05:43He wants to?
05:45Why, that man's so in love with me, he can't eat.
05:48Yeah, but are you in love with him, Pearl?
05:50Oh, Jed, when I'm near him, I feel like my feet is dangling in a creek, and the minnows
05:58is biting at my toes.
06:01That's what you call really being in love.
06:03I need to help her, Jed.
06:05Mrs. Bodine, if you'd like a ride into town, I can drop you off on my way to the hotel.
06:09Hotel?
06:10Why, you can't stay there.
06:12Oh, no, sirree.
06:13You sure can't.
06:14Why not?
06:16Why not, Jed?
06:18Why not, Pearl?
06:19Why not?
06:21There's a convention there.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Every room in that hotel is full enough.
06:26They're packed in there like crouts in a jar.
06:28What kind of convention?
06:31Elf's convention.
06:33That hotel is bulging with Elf's.
06:36Oh, well, perhaps I can find a room in the boarding house.
06:40You know anybody got a spare room, Granny?
06:42No, I don't.
06:43Do you, Jed?
06:44Well, I see.
06:45Now, the only spare room I know of around here is over to your house, Pearl.
06:50Why, land to mercy, I plump for God.
06:53Yeah, my spare room.
06:57What spare room, Ma?
06:59We ain't got it.
07:00Ow!
07:01Why don't you run out and fetch some wood?
07:04I just brought some wood in.
07:06What spare room, Ma?
07:07We ain't got no spare room.
07:08Ow!
07:10You just run around outside and get the kinks out of that leg.
07:13I ain't got no kinks in my leg.
07:14It's just that Ma just keeps...
07:16Ow!
07:17Son, if you're gonna play hopscotch, you go outside.
07:20House ain't for playing games.
07:22But I ain't playing games!
07:24And don't chop me some wood.
07:26I just chopped some wood.
07:27Chop her some green wood.
07:28She wants to smoke a possum.
07:29Now, get it.
07:30I just chopped some wood and I'll put it right there.
07:32I just put it right over there in the corner.
07:33Now, you come to my house, Mr. Brewster.
07:36The spare room is yours.
07:38Well, all right.
07:39If it's not...
07:39Why should I sleep here on the floor?
07:41I got a room...
07:42Ow!
07:44He's giving the seizures in the leg, ain't he, Granny?
07:47I'll have him rub it with some hot possum grease tonight.
07:51Yeah.
07:51Well, let's get going.
07:56Oh, Aunt Pearl, would you do me a big favor?
07:58Well, of course, Auntie May.
08:00What is it?
08:01Would you take this here fur coat?
08:03Your mink?
08:04For keeps?
08:05I sure would appreciate it.
08:07It makes my friends in the woods kind of skittish.
08:10They must reckon I'll be wearing them next.
08:14Well, I don't rightly know if I should...
08:16Go ahead and take it, Pearl.
08:17That is, if you don't mind, it's been war once or twice before.
08:21Oh, not at all.
08:23I'll tell you what.
08:24I'll put it in one of my hope, Chess,
08:27and I'll wear it on my honeymoon.
08:31Say, Mr. Clampard,
08:32isn't that an awful big tree that Jethro's chopping down?
08:36Yeah, he's notching it on the wrong side, too.
08:39Hey, Jethro,
08:40good notching that tree on this side.
08:41It'll allow it to fall right down on the...
08:43Yeah, look out, everybody!
08:51It missed us.
08:53Praise the Lord.
08:55Well, the tree missed.
08:56We can get up now.
08:57Well, he might be chopping another one.
09:00Let's wait and see.

09:55Maggie, I'm so happy to see you.
09:58I told you I'd come and visit you,
10:00and here I am.
10:02Ellie?
10:03Ellie Mae, where are you?

10:07Now, don't you be scared of Paul.
10:08He won't hurt you none.
10:10Well, now, who's this?

10:22And after supper,
10:23we's all going over to that movie picture theater where Pearl worked.
10:27Well, how'd he rather stay here?
10:29Well, Pearl says there's going to be a brand new picture from Hollywood called, uh, Ben-Hur.
10:35Who's in it?
10:36According to Pearl, it's got the two biggest actors there is,
10:39Francis X. Bushman and Raymond Navarro.
10:43Why'd he still rather stay here, Paul?
10:45Now, we's all supposed to kind of surround Mr. Brewster
10:48and brag on Pearl's piano playing during the picture.
10:51Well, Jethro can brag extra for me.
10:54Jethro ain't going to be there.
10:55He just sat there all night and complained about Mr. Brewster having his room.
10:59Oh, come on, Ellie.
11:01Don't you want to help Pearl get a husband?
11:03Okay, Paul.
11:06Bye, Maggie.
11:10Well, Paul, ain't you going to kiss Maggie goodbye?
11:13I don't reckon so.
11:14Uh, her husband might not like it.
11:19Come on, Ellie.
11:34Come on, everybody.
11:38Well, doggie.
11:40Jethro, here's a picture of your mom.
11:43Yeah.
11:43It says, in person, Pearl Bow Dean, wizard of the keyboard.
11:48Oh, that means pioneer.
11:50Hey, your name is as big as Ben-Hur's.
11:53Oh, I beg the manager not to put that up,
11:56but he says it's a drawing card.
11:58Mom playing during the picture.
12:00During the picture?
12:01Don't you have sound?

12:07and reading the titles out loud,
12:10you got plenty of sound.
12:12Now, everybody go on in and sit down.
12:14You're all on complimentary passes.

12:21before I come in and play the overture.
12:24Mr. Brewster,

12:31She can cook, sew, keep house, play panty,
12:35and no wonder the men around here
12:36are just beating her door down to propose.
12:39But Pearl's choicy.
12:40She's waiting for the right man.

19:04Good morning, Pearl.
19:05Pearl.
19:08Homer Winch, I told you and I told you.
19:10Don't come into my house without I invite you.
19:13I happen to be here in my official capacity as a Jitney driver.
19:16You want no Jitney?
19:17Well, Mr. Brewster does.
19:21Don't say nothin' to Mr. Brewster.
19:23And I'll bake you two pies.
19:26Pearl, there's only one way you can seal my lips and stop my Jitney.
19:31And that's with a smack.
19:34You all right?
19:36You all right?
19:37You all right.
19:37I mean, with a kiss.
19:41A kiss?
19:42That's my price.
19:43Take it or leave it.
19:44Homer!
19:45Why, that's the most shockin', disgustin', insultin', disgustin'...
20:13Ma's comin', and boy, is she a driver?
20:15She must've heard we's leavin'.
20:17Without gettin' her married to Mr. Brewster.
20:19I reckon we's in for considerable ballin'.
20:21Ain't nobody can outcry Ma when she commences to gushin'.
20:27Pearl?
20:29I reckon you's heard we's goin' back to Beverly Hills.
20:34Oh, now, Pearl, he's ballin' already.
20:37Don't worry, Pearl.
20:38You'll get a fella.
20:40Yeah, come on back to Beverly Hills with us.
20:41I can't.
20:43All right, Pearl, all right.
20:44I can't fight a woman's tears.
20:46We'll stay here until you marry Mr. Brewster.
20:49Yeah, Ma, and I'll be your best man.
20:51And you can wear that beautiful mink coat on your honeymoon.
20:57Pearl, what are you cryin' about now?
21:01The mink coat.
21:03The mink coat.
21:03What about it?
21:04I was drivin' down the road, and a great big eagle took it right out of my lap.
21:11Don't you worry.
21:12Ellie Mae?
21:14Yeah, Pop?
21:17You shinny up that tree, and tell that grabby eagle to give you back that mink coat for Pearl's honeymoon,
21:23or she ain't no friend of yours.
21:29Only if she wants to, of course.
21:48But now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin.
21:51They would like to thank you folks for kindly droppin' in.
21:55You're all invited back next week to this locality, to have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality.
22:02Hillbilly, that is.
22:04Set a spell.
22:06Take your shoes off.
