00:26:19ma'am. Music with me is just a hobby. Well, son, I'd like to talk with you about your
00:26:24little hobby. Not tonight. Talk to him tomorrow. Right now, Elzebub's going to take me out
00:26:29for a breath of air. That is, if he doesn't mind. Mighty please do, ma'am.
00:26:49Pitchfork looks kind of pretty in the moonlight, don't it? Well, the moonlight does seem to improve
00:26:54it some. Have you always lived in Pitchfork? Yeah. Don't you ever think of leaving here? Not
00:27:01specially, ma'am. Don't call me ma'am. My name's Doris. Well, we ain't known each other
00:27:09but a mighty brief spell, and I ain't aiming to get too familiar. You know, Elzebub, anyone
00:27:16with talent can't expect to find much success here in Pitchfork. Well, Pitchfork's where I
00:27:21belong, I reckon, because I ain't got no talent for nothing except maybe, well, milking cows
00:27:26and such. Well, what do you call the way you and your brothers sang and played tonight? Just
00:27:30a hobby, ma'am. Let's sit down a minute. Sure, ma'am. Oh, Elzebub, were you always bashful
00:27:41and shy like this? Well, I reckon Elvary don't think so. Who's Elvary? Gal. Really? And you
00:27:52know something? We kissed once. You kissed? Tell me about it. Well, Elvary and me, we were just
00:28:00a sudden like this. We weren't doing nothing special. Just, just a sudden when, when something
00:28:05like the devil must have gotten into her, because the first thing I knew, she threw her arms around
00:28:09me like this. And then she, she pulled me tighter and tighter like this. And then before I know
00:28:15it, she kissed me like this. Well, right then I'm kind of riled and I says to Elvary, Elvary, you
00:28:24hadn't ought to have done that. You see, we'd only known each other twelve years and I'm
00:28:29feeling real peculiar-like. You were? Uh-huh. But Elvary, she's feeling downright
00:28:34on to me. And the first thing I know, I reckon you think I'm a measly polecat for a telling.
00:28:41Go on. Go on. It's very interesting. Well, it's nigh on to nine o'clock, Elzy bub. Time to be
00:28:51abedding. Back in there again. You mean she sort of likes to stay in that mud? Never seen
00:29:06nothing like it. Sixteen minutes past four. Reckon it's time I got my vittles ready for
00:29:14supper. By golly, she's right. Amazing people. Well, what do you think? I don't know. I got a
00:29:25wild idea. You'll perhaps think I'm crazy, but... Go on. Well, it's about this mud. Could
00:29:31it be possible? Gentlemen, this is astounding. According to the analysis, this
00:29:36mud contains a potent element which is highly beneficial to pigs. Yes. It also
00:29:40apparently has a curative mineral content that's equal to hot springs or boden-boden. This
00:29:44opens up an entirely new feel for us. Mud bears, a great health resort. People would
00:29:48flock there by the thousands. Gentlemen, we're not interested in people. Our
00:29:51concern is with pigs. Think, sir, the great possibilities of this thing. That's
00:29:55exactly what I'm thinking. With this mud as our ally, there can be but one result. The
00:30:00slow packing company will corner the pig industry. Now, I want you both to get back to
00:30:05Pitchfork and buy that property. Yes, sir. Ma. Hi. Look what come for us. A telegram.
00:30:14A telegram? What do I say? Don't like telegrams. Too much trouble to read them. Oh, but this
00:30:20might be important. See what it says. Collect. No, not there. Here. Oh. This is from the state of... Agra...
00:30:32Ag... You've had more
00:30:33money. What's it say? Why, Ma, this is from the State Department of Agriculture. It says here that the commissioner
00:30:40is coming to see you at Esmeralde.
00:30:42Landshakes. What for? To give Esmeralde a blue ribbon. Can't see where a ribbon's gonna make Esmeralde look any prettier.
00:30:50First time in ten years I've had this
00:30:51kind of golden dress on. It's kind of snug in places, don't it? You look swell, Mrs. Alden. But if
00:30:57you don't cut down that fried chicken, you've got to keep bulging in long places.
00:31:00When I was 16, my husband could span my way. Gosh, Ma. Sure feels snickerty. Abby. You look just like
00:31:08a glamour girl. Wonder what Zeke Willard would do if he saw me now.
00:31:12Hello, everybody. Oh, hello, Ollie. Oh, Ollie. Say, did you get a ball and bat with that outfit? Oh, no,
00:31:18this is page 91 in the catalog, item 1468, FOB with COD.
00:31:24What year? Well, I think it was 1902. Hmm, you know, that's a snazzy suit. Well, yes, it was made
00:31:32to order. Made to order? Yes, I don't know who for, but I got it.
00:31:36Ah, you're the most wonderful-looking man I've ever met. Oh, you only say that because it's true.
00:31:42Ollie, get out of them fancy clothes and look after Esmeraldi. Oh, but Ma, the commission is there. Yes.
00:31:49All right, Ma. I'll see you later. Gosh, Ma, you sure look pretty. Why, Elzebub, have you been using that
00:31:58catalog too?
00:31:59I like it, ma'am. Oh, it's very becoming, but you've forgotten something. What, ma'am?
00:32:04Your Lone Ranger badge. Anybody dead? Jennifer Jenkins, ain't you a getting dressed?
00:32:15I don't feel naked. Oh, poor cat, ain't you hear that the commissioner's coming down here
00:32:20to Pitchfork to give Esmeraldi a ribbon? Ain't coming to give me no ribbon.
00:32:27Even I knew it wouldn't look good.
00:32:35Midget. That's why I was saying again, friends, this is a great day for Pitchfork, a great day for you,
00:32:41a great day for Esmeraldi.
00:32:45How did this wonderful sow give birth to so many pigs? I'll tell you. You see, years ago when pigs
00:32:51come out,
00:32:51they brought out a little race there, and they didn't have any force. The farmer would always take them out
00:32:56of it.
00:32:56He would bring out the force, and he'd work through, and he'd say, well, here we have a force of
00:32:59space.
00:33:00And then, look, they'd say, well, are there any cavernaries there? Are there any bauberists? No.
00:33:04Because they have received a mortgage, as you see. But we didn't care for the bauberists, but they have proven
00:33:08that Esmeraldi has a cavernaries for the force to salivate, and it brings out that
00:33:14and gives you that little cavernaries for the bauberists. See, Ma, that's what a college education
00:33:19will do for a feller. You're absolutely right.
00:33:24My friends, this is indeed an historic moment in the annals of our fair state. The eyes of the entire
00:33:32country
00:33:33is centered upon you, upon you and Esmeralda.
00:33:40You have done yourselves proud. That is sufficient for me to say.
00:33:45I did not come here to make a speech. Actions speak louder than words.
00:33:50And believe me, friends, Esmeralda has provided plenty of action.
00:33:59And I'm sure you're anxious for the program to continue.
00:34:02So let me say that I have a real treat in store for you.
00:34:06Pitchfork's famous sons, Bob Hamlin and his boys.
00:34:10You've heard them on the radio, and now they're going to entertain you
00:34:13with some of the songs I know you love to hear. Come on, Bob.
00:34:21Bob, what happened to the beard?
00:34:42Bob Hamlin and his boys.
00:34:42Just a hobby, huh?
00:34:44So that sounds above, huh?
00:34:47A guy takes a girl for a sleigh ride in the middle of July.
00:35:16And the night is rising in the blue.
00:35:21Can hear me callin', whistlin' down the lane for you.
00:35:30Won't be hesitant when the stars are playing peek-a-boo.
00:35:39Won't be hesitant when the stars are playing peek-a-boo.
00:35:43Whistlin' down the lane for you.
00:35:47The moon lights by in the western sky.
00:35:52And the sage-lark sings once more.
00:35:56They bought the well, what I aim to tell to the one I'm waitin' for.
00:36:19Whistlin' down the lane for you.
00:36:25Whistlin', whistlin', whistlin' on you.
00:36:29Whistlin', whistlin' on you.
00:36:41We're ready to make the presentation now, Mrs. Dalton.
00:36:44Where's Esmeralda?
00:36:45Well, I can't understand why Oli ain't a brunger.
00:36:54Ma, something terrible has happened.
00:36:57Esmeralda, look, she's gone.
00:36:58Oli, are you crazy?
00:37:00I wish I was, but that ain't the worst of it.
00:37:02All the other sows has gone through.
00:37:03Even Gwendoline.
00:37:04What?
00:37:04This is highly irregular, Mrs. Alden.
00:37:06Highly irregular.
00:37:08Now, don't you go to worrying.
00:37:09You go and find them sows, Oli.
00:37:11But Ma, I even thought if I was a pig where I would go.
00:37:14So I went there and I looked, but they couldn't even find me.
00:37:17Them sows are a root in some place.
00:37:19Now, you go find them.
00:37:24Something's got to be done.
00:37:28You better play another number, son.
00:37:30We're having pig trouble.
00:37:31Be glad to help, Commissioner.
00:37:33All right, boys.
00:37:34Stay away from my heart.
00:37:47What do you think of that?
00:37:48You say Esmeralda's, mister.
00:37:49It looks like Esmeralda's gone.
00:37:52Esmeralda's gone.
00:37:54Esmeralda's gone.
00:38:05I can't find them, Ma.
00:38:07Oh, them sows must have strayed.
00:38:09I thought you was a watchman, Oli.
00:38:11But there was a watchman.
00:38:12I slept by Yemeni.
00:38:14I locked him in the pen myself this morning.
00:38:16Well, something's got to be done, Mrs. Alden.
00:38:18This will be very embarrassing for me.
00:38:24Oh, Olem, you're a wonderful hard caller.
00:38:26Would you please hand up Esmeralda?
00:38:28Sure I would.
00:38:41Oh, Nora, if you can't get Esmeralda back, nobody can.
00:38:45Come on, start a hollering.
00:38:46I'll try.
00:39:08Pepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepepe
00:39:10Oh, Mrs. Tompkins, you've got a beautiful voice for Hobbs.
00:39:13Would you please call for Esmeralda?
00:39:15Sure, I'll try to get that old sound for you.
00:39:50Look, Malden, there's one person who can get Esmeralda back.
00:39:53That's Juniper.
00:39:54He's right, Mal.
00:39:55Juniper's the best hog caller in the whole state of Arkansas.
00:39:58Don't worry he's that good turnout environment, anyhow.
00:40:00He's over here.
00:40:06Juniper, you're the best hog caller in Arkansas,
00:40:08so get Malden's hogs back.
00:40:10Too tired.
00:40:11Oh, now listen, Juniper.
00:40:12Think what this means to all of us.
00:40:13Look at poor Malden here.
00:40:15Been looking at her for a long time.
00:40:17Ain't done no good as far as I can see.
00:40:19Juniper, what are you talking about?
00:40:22If you don't know by now, ain't no use for me telling.
00:40:26Look at here, you old buddy.
00:40:28Get your carcass off that bail of hay and start a call for my Esmeralda.
00:40:32Ain't aiming to do no such a thing.
00:40:35Oh, come on, Juniper.
00:40:36We've got to get Esmeralda back.
00:40:37You're the only one who can do it.
00:40:39Reckon is how I am.
00:40:40Well, what are you waiting on?
00:40:42Waiting on you, I reckon.
00:40:44Been waiting for about ten years.
00:40:46What do you mean, Juniper?
00:40:47Make yourself clear there isn't much time.
00:40:49Reckon's how I can get them hogs back for Malden.
00:40:52If and she'll marry me.
00:40:54Not if you're going back every time in Arkansas.
00:40:57Then I'll just be arresting.
00:41:00Look, Malden, this is serious.
00:41:02If we don't get Esmeralda back, you'll be disgraced.
00:41:04The whole town will be disgraced.
00:41:05We might as well marry him, Ma.
00:41:07He'll be hanging around the house anyhow.
00:41:09Please, Ma.
00:41:09Poor Esmeralda may be lost somewhere up hills.
00:41:11If you don't marry him, we'll be in a heap of trouble.
00:41:14Well, I'll be in a heap of trouble if I do.
00:41:17All right, you ornery jackass.
00:41:19Looks like I can't do nothing else.
00:41:22But if you'll get my Esmeralda back, I...
00:41:25Well, I reckon I just got to marry him.
00:41:29Let there sound as good as home right now.
00:41:47Pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig.
00:41:51Pig, pig, pig, pig.
00:41:58Pig, pig, pig, pig.
00:42:05I know what MC in New Yorker would out yell any of them.
00:42:08Brass yourself, folks.
00:42:09You ain't heard nothing yet.
00:42:14All right.
00:42:14Pig, pig, pig, pig.
00:42:19Pig.
00:42:19Come on, pig.
00:42:20Come on, pig.
00:42:21Come on, pig.
00:42:24Where can that be my happy voice?
00:42:27Pig.
00:42:29Pig, boy.
00:42:31Boy.
00:42:33Boy.
00:42:33Well, I guess it didn't work low.
00:42:35We'll probably never see Esmeralda again.
00:42:38Well, there's one good thing about it.
00:42:39and I won't have to marry that old.
00:42:44You love me!
00:42:46There she comes now!
00:42:48How are you doing, Jennifer?
00:42:53You're in fine voice. Congratulations.
00:42:55Better congratulate Ma Alden. She's getting the best of it.
00:42:58Well, now I guess we can go on with our celebration.
00:43:00Now, Mrs. Alden, will you come forward, please?
00:43:08Mrs. Alden, we're all very proud of you and of Esmerelda, too.
00:43:13And on behalf of our fair state, I present to you this token of appreciation.
00:43:20And now, Esmerelda, it gives me great pleasure to bestow upon you this award.
00:43:29Mrs. Alden.
00:43:46Hello, Doris. Pretty good show, wasn't it?
00:43:48Not half as good as the show you put on, Elzebub.
00:43:51I was just having a little fun. I figured you'd be a good sport about it.
00:43:54I hope you enjoyed it.
00:43:56Do you, Juniper Jenkins, take Matilda Alden for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:44:01Yep.
00:44:03Do you, Matilda Alden, take Juniper Jenkins for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:44:07I do.
00:44:09I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:44:12This is it.
00:44:14There ain't no pig worth it.
00:44:17Well, kiss the bride, Juniper.
00:44:19Don't rush me, Judge.
00:44:22There you are.
00:44:24Karen, you're talking to me.
00:44:32I was just a-thinking.
00:44:34If I marry Abby now, what kinfolk be out to you?
00:44:37Well, let me see.
00:44:39Abby'd be my daughter.
00:44:41You'd be my son.
00:44:42My son-in-law, too.
00:44:44Now, that'd make Ma your...
00:44:46No.
00:44:47Well, you'd be her...
00:44:49That ain't it yet.
00:44:51Sounds near as I can figure.
00:44:52I reckon you'd be your own grandpa.
00:44:54But, Pa, I...
00:44:54Now, wait a minute, son.
00:44:55Let me clear this thing up for you.
00:44:57You see, if you marry Abigail, you ought to sailorate a sailor martyr.
00:45:00You couldn't bring the sailor more straight.
00:45:03Look at you.
00:45:04If you act as soon as force the strays and fight out your race,
00:45:06the marriage is coming out in force.
00:45:08It isn't just a catch to a set, or a capus of a hitler so foreign.
00:45:11It's a calvary evil of the sound which is painted.
00:45:14Capus stone.
00:45:15It's exactly like I said.
00:45:18My nephew is Roletta, Kenya.
00:45:20The Milo twins.
00:45:26In the hills of Arkansas,
00:45:28sitting by his mowing pole,
00:45:31there's only right for shooting out in there.
00:45:34Oh, he loves his mountain fields,
00:45:36and he also loves good food.
00:45:38When he goes home to supper, he will give.
00:45:42Oh, pass the biscuits, Miranda.
00:45:46I'm just as hungry as Finn.
00:45:50Pass the gravy, Miranda.
00:45:53I need some soft to stop him in.
00:45:56Since nine o'clock, I've been sitting on a roll,
00:46:00shooting everything inside.
00:46:04I shot the boys and a dozen Barton boys,
00:46:08shooting is a man an appetite.
00:46:11Pass the biscuits, Miranda.
00:46:15Pass them and kiss me goodbye.
00:46:19Darn those biscuits, Miranda.
00:46:22I knew they'd get me by and by.
00:46:27Yeah!
00:46:30Yeah, it's quite a party, Ma.
00:46:32Yeah.
00:46:33Excuse me.
00:46:34Hello, hello.
00:46:36Doris.
00:46:38I'm sorry about what happened.
00:46:40How about sort of forgetting it?
00:46:42It's already forgotten.
00:46:44Including you.
00:46:49If there's any liquor in this,
00:46:50somebody must have walked by and waved a bottle at it.
00:46:53Esmeralda must have walked through it.
00:46:55Oh, may I help you, Miss Blaine?
00:46:56Oh, thank you.
00:46:58You expect to get even a momentary lift from this.
00:47:00You're going to be awfully disappointed.
00:47:05You're right.
00:47:05Tastes more like hair time.
00:47:08Shall we all adjourn to my room upstairs?
00:47:10I can promise you something a little stronger.
00:47:16Why not?
00:47:17Fine.
00:47:17Go.
00:47:33Oh, hello.
00:47:34Would you like to pour me a little drink?
00:47:37Supposing you pour me one?
00:47:38Oh, excuse me.
00:47:39I make the wrong kind of mistake.
00:47:40That's right.
00:47:41I'm always getting unmixed.
00:47:43Good drink to the bride and groom, huh?
00:47:44Good that.
00:47:46Well, here's a punch in the purse.
00:47:48Skål.
00:47:49Take care of yourself.
00:47:51No, you take care of yourself.
00:47:52I'm going to be all right.
00:47:58Oh, what's the matter?
00:47:59Something I put in?
00:48:00Something you left out.
00:48:02What is this stuff?
00:48:04Well, that's really sponge with a little squirrel whiskey.
00:48:06Squirrel?
00:48:07Why didn't you try Old Eagle?
00:48:09Oh, I don't want to fly.
00:48:10I just want you to do that.
00:48:12There you are.
00:48:14Well, shall we drink to the bride and groom?
00:48:17What, again?
00:48:18Yeah.
00:48:18Let's drink to somebody else for a change.
00:48:20To us.
00:48:26That's good, isn't it?
00:48:27Oh.
00:48:29All right, Juniper, remember the bet.
00:48:31You're going to tell us the name of each individual piece of wood by smelling them.
00:48:35Right.
00:48:35And I'm ready to start to smell them.
00:48:38How about this?
00:48:42That there's pine.
00:48:43Sure.
00:48:46Okay, guess this one.
00:48:52That's the same as the last one.
00:48:53That's pine.
00:48:54Only this is not a pine.
00:48:57You can't fool Juniper.
00:48:58I know my word.
00:48:59You better pay me off.
00:49:00Guess a minute, Juniper.
00:49:02Here's one more smell.
00:49:04And if you guess that, you win the bet.
00:49:12That's, uh, Pussy Willis.
00:49:17And now Ma will throw the bridal bouquet.
00:49:29Come on, girls.
00:49:30Go get them.
00:49:31Oh, God.
00:49:35So you see, my dear, this wonderful mud will be a boon to this slow packing company.
00:49:40We'll have the finest hogs on the market.
00:49:42And more of them than anybody else.
00:49:44Well, what about Ma Alden?
00:49:46Where does she come in?
00:49:46Oh, she'll be taken care of.
00:49:48She doesn't know the value of the mud hole.
00:49:50Should be hard to make a deal with her.
00:49:52But you see, this mud has a curative value.
00:49:54Good for people with rheumatism and things like that.
00:49:57It's a shame to waste it on a lot of hogs.
00:50:00Perhaps you're right in the way, but you see, Mr. Cashin isn't interested in rheumatism.
00:50:04His whole life is wrapped up in pigs.
00:50:07I see.
00:50:09A family man.
00:50:11Yes, family man.
00:50:16Abby.
00:50:17I've been looking all over for your mother.
00:50:18I want to talk to her.
00:50:19Do you know where she is?
00:50:20Sure, but you're going to have to holler a powerful loud if you want her to hear you.
00:50:23What do you mean?
00:50:25Oh, she's gone to Little Rock.
00:50:26She left here a while ago, them two city fellers.
00:50:31Bob.
00:50:35Hello, Doris.
00:50:36Looking for a little exercise?
00:50:37Are you kidding?
00:50:39Uh, Bob, I've got to talk to you.
00:50:40Talk to me?
00:50:41Yeah, it's about Malden.
00:50:43Anything wrong with it?
00:50:44Plenty.
00:50:45Come on.
00:50:51I think $5,000 is a very fair price, madam.
00:50:55I reckon it is.
00:50:58But it ain't easy to give up a place you've been living in all your life.
00:51:01But madam, you mustn't allow sentiment to interfere with good business.
00:51:04And think of the beautiful new home you can have, and the money we're paying, and the handsome profit, besides.
00:51:09Well, maybe you folks is right.
00:51:12I reckon I can buy Zeke Muckenfuss's place.
00:51:15It's got awful pretty wallpaper.
00:51:16I suppose you have the deed to the property with you, madam?
00:51:20Yes, sir.
00:51:20I have it right here.
00:51:23If you just sign right here, Mrs. Jenkins.
00:51:27I am Jenkins.
00:51:29I beg your pardon, madam.
00:51:30But isn't your name Alden?
00:51:32It was up until yesterday.
00:51:34Now, that's right.
00:51:35You see, she married a character named Jenkins.
00:51:38We were both at the ceremony.
00:51:39Well, I'm sorry, gentlemen, but you can't do business with Mrs. Jenkins.
00:51:43She doesn't own that land.
00:51:44What?
00:51:44Does it?
00:51:45Of course she does.
00:51:46You do own it, don't you, madam?
00:51:48I sure do.
00:51:49And it ain't for any city lawyer to tell me I don't.
00:51:52Well, I'm sorry, Mrs. Jenkins, but this deed contains an appendage.
00:51:56It says that in case you remarry at any time, the property automatically reverts to your daughter, Abigail.
00:52:03Gentlemen, a girl by the name of Abigail Alden owns that land.
00:52:07Abigail?
00:52:10Malden, did you sell the property?
00:52:12What's the meaning of this, young lady?
00:52:13Tell me, Malden.
00:52:14Did you sell it?
00:52:14Did you?
00:52:15Well, I reckon I couldn't.
00:52:17The property ain't mine anymore.
00:52:19It belongs to Abby, on account of me marrying that good calf in Juniper.
00:52:23That's the best thing that ever happened to you.
00:52:25Come on, let's get out of here.
00:52:26We got a lot to talk over.
00:52:28Thanks for everything.
00:52:29You boys should go in the wagon and say hello to your boss, Porky.
00:52:33I'll take that, consular.
00:52:38Well, looks like Mr. Cashin is going to be very happy.
00:52:42In a pig's eye.
00:52:49Well, all this is very interesting if what you say is true.
00:52:53However, there'll have to be a thorough investigation.
00:52:56And the matter will be brought to the attention of the legislature.
00:52:58Well, how long will that take, Governor?
00:53:01Well, you can never tell about the legislature.
00:53:03How would it be if my boys and I could arrange our national broadcast from Pitchfork Springs?
00:53:07Would that help, sir?
00:53:08Immensely.
00:53:09You boys are nationally famous.
00:53:10Why, the attention of the entire nation would be centered on our springs.
00:53:14Yes, I think the legislature would act more quickly then.
00:53:17That's great.
00:53:18I'll get in touch with my agency and see if we can arrange it.
00:53:21Do you think you can, Bob?
00:53:22Why not?
00:53:23We've never had any trouble before and don't expect any now.
00:53:25Well, that clears everything up.
00:53:27For the time being.
00:53:28Oh, we'll be running along, Governor.
00:53:29I can't tell you how much we appreciate your letting us talk to you.
00:53:32Good day.
00:53:33Bye.
00:53:34Bye, Mrs. Jenkins.
00:53:35Oh, good-bye, Jack.
00:53:37Uh, Governor.
00:53:39Got a nice place here.
00:53:41Thank you, Aunt Mom.
00:53:53Oh, my.
00:53:54Why don't you get up and help them folks?
00:53:57Yeah.
00:53:58Too tired just of watching them.
00:54:00Well, we didn't make any money, but we had a lot of laughs.
00:54:03Yes, everything turned out all right.
00:54:05Thanks to your idea about going to the governor, it looks like Pitchfork's going to be a state-sponsored health
00:54:08resort.
00:54:09Well, you didn't do so badly, either.
00:54:11Getting your agency to let you broadcast from here.
00:54:13Maybe we're a couple of heroes.
00:54:41And now our vocalist, Jimmy Waidman.
00:54:44Take it.
00:54:45Take it to me.
00:54:49If you can't go right, don't go wrong.
00:54:53Just because your daddy's gone.
00:54:56If you can't go right, don't go wrong.
00:55:01Now when you're feeling blue, please be true.
00:55:05Cause, Lord, I'm coming back to you.
00:55:08If you can't go right, don't go wrong.
00:55:14Now when you're sad and lonesome, and you don't know what to do.
00:55:20Remember that I love you, and I'm lonely too.
00:55:26Now when a fella wants to date, run right home and shut the gate.
00:55:33And if you can't go right, don't go wrong.
00:55:43Ladies and gentlemen, we're now going to hear from our own Abigail Alden.
00:55:47And she loves to yodel.
00:55:48Take it, Abby.
00:56:22I love you, you play everything.
00:56:26No one wants to listen but to count.
00:56:30I yodal lullabies as I gaze into their eyes.
00:56:34They seem like that melody somehow.
00:56:38Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:56:41Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:56:51I love to yodel, and there's a handsome feller that I know, I'd love to do his cooking, and she
00:57:01is he good looking, he's an actor at the movie show.

01:04:05I would like to take one more look at Pittsburgh in the moonlight.
01:04:12Well. Well, does it look any better to you now?
01:04:15Yeah, somehow it does.
01:04:21Well, why don't you say something?
01:04:24This hay sure smells sweet.
01:04:27That's a remarkable observation.

01:04:34Remember? Elvibub?

01:04:45It seems that you and Elviry were sitting just like we are now.
01:04:50Is that right?
01:04:51Then all of a sudden she, uh, threw her arms around you.
01:04:56Like this.
01:04:58And then she kissed you. Like this.
01:05:07I reckon you think I'm a measly polecat.
