New cards

Elly: All right, Emaline. Just wait a minute. Paw! Paw!

(Rita Voice) Colonel Foxhall, please... Colonel? Rita. Okay, I'm in Fort Knox. Yeah, they fell for it hook, line, and spare room. Great job of research you did on that Fetty family. I thought they were something you read in science fiction... Yeah, I checked out the cuckoo clock camera and the tape recordings to shake Jed Clampett loose from a cool million!

18
New cards

Jed: Emaline? Emaline, where be y'?

(Hillbilly) Oh, lawsy! Don't come in! (Rita Voice) Gotta split Colonel. The rube is just coming up the Midway.

(Hillbilly) No. I'm gonna go git dressed and take my cuckoo clock to be developed... fixed!

31

32
New cards

Jethro: Tha's a good idee, 'n' if anythin' comes up b'fore we do, you just ask me, Uncle Jed, 'n' I'll tell y' anythin' you need to know.

(Hillbilly) Jethro, could you drive me down some place where I could have my clock fixed?

33
New cards

Jethro: Well, I got me a dancin' date, Emaline.

(Hillbilly) Won't take long. I saw me a camera store 'bout two miles down the pike.

34
New cards

Jethro: You cain't fix a clock in a cam'ra store, y'pore dumb country girl.

(Hillbilly) Well, le's just go see.

35
New cards

Jethro: Okay, Emaline. Yore purty, but you wanna git along here, I'll have to smarten you up.

(Hillbilly) That might take a long, long time.

(Hillbilly) Oh, no!

43
New cards

Jethro: She will soon as I git to the twelve guzintas.

(Hillbilly) No! Help! Help!

44
New cards

Granny: ...a' now Jethro's fixin' to fight you a duel over one girl, an' him engaged t' three others!

(Hillbilly) Three girls would marry that idiot?

45
New cards

Jethro: Emailine, I ain't got no glove, but would you marry me 'thouten a duel?

(Hillbilly) How's the deal, Colonel?

46
New cards

Colonel: All over but the cashing.

(Hillbilly) Then get lost!

47
New cards

Drysdale: She's out there somewhere. I'll search every nook and cranny... you get him!

(Rita Voice) Start thinking, Rita. You can still make something out of this... but where's the gimmick?

48
New cards

Jethro: Emaline... here, Emaline, here!

(Rita Voice) The Clown Prince! That's it. (Hillbilly) Yes, Jethro...

49
New cards

Jethro: Emaline! Where y'been?

(Hillbilly) Been hidin'.

50
New cards

Jethro: Who from?

(Hillbilly) The police.

51
New cards

Jethro: Whut fer?

(Hillbilly) They think I was tryin' t' trick y'all outa some money.

52
New cards

Jethro: You! A dumb ol' country girl! Trick us! That's a laugh!

(Hillbilly) Ain't it, though?

53
New cards

Jethro: Heck fire, ever'body knows the Fetty family is the dumbest, tackiest, homliest bunch in the hills.

(Hillbilly) I know.

54
New cards

Jethro: Oh don't go t' bawlin', Emaline. Fer somebody that comes from a box o' culls, y'ain't such a mess.

(Hillbilly) Thank y', Jethro.

55
New cards

Jethro: An' as fer bein' dumb, y' got to remember, that next to me, purt near anybody'd look dumb.

(Hillbilly) Gee, I wish I was smart like you. Then I could figger out how t' git away from the police.

56
New cards

Jethro: I'll think o' somethin' fer y'.

(Hillbilly) Oh, would you, Jethro?

57
New cards

Jethro: Le's see now...

(Hillbilly) Gee, I shore do appreciate this... Jethro... Jethro...

58
New cards

Jethro: Huh? Did I think o' somethin'?

(Hillbilly) Yeah. You talked in yore sleep.

59
New cards

Jethro: Whut'd I say?

(Hillbilly) Well, y'said the police was lookin' fer a dumb, ol' country girl, so I'd outta sneak up the back stairs an' put on one o' them fancy city dresses Elly May said I could wear, so I'd look like a sophisticated city girl and the police'll never know it's me.

60
New cards

Jethro: Hot dog! 'N' that was with my brain just a-coastin'. Think whut I could do if I ever throwed that scamp into high gear.

(Hillbilly) It plumb skeers me to think of it.

61
New cards

Jethro: C'mon. I'll sneak y'up the back stairs.

(Hillbilly) Now r'member, Jethro, y' got t' keep all this a secret.

62
New cards

Jethro: I must be in love.

(Hillbilly) Jethro?

63
New cards

Jethro: Howdy, ma'am?

(Hillbilly) Jethro, it's me. Emaline.

64
New cards

Jethro: Hot dog! I done worked my magic on y', didn't I.

(Hillbilly) Y'shore did, Jethro. Now, if I could just find a way t' git t' town, I could find me a job an' pick out a new name.

65
New cards

Jethro: A new name?

(Hillbilly) Well, yeah. The police are lookin' fer Emaline Fetty, so I gotta change it.

66
New cards

Jethro: Oh, yeah. I got it! Elverna Fetty!

(Hillbilly) I think we better change the Fetty, too. I need a city name.

67
New cards

Jethro: How about Chicago?

(Hillbilly) I mean a Christian name.

68
New cards

Jethro: How about Saint Louis?

(Hillbilly) Never mind. I oughta be thinkin' about a job to pull... a job to get... to get!

69
New cards

Jethro: Maybe you could work fer Mr. Drysdale at the bank, iffen I could learn you to cipher.

(Hillbilly) Oh, boy!

70
New cards

Jethro: I wouldn't work. I've done made y' too purty an' ol' Miz Drysdale, she's as jealous as a cat with one kitten.

(Hillbilly) Really? I better go. Go outside, Jethro, an' see if the coast is clear.

71
New cards

Jethro: Cain't see that fur. They's a hill in the way.

(Hillbilly) Go on out, Jethro, and see if anyone's comin'.

72
New cards

Gloria: Oh, I'm so happy you understand... and surprised!

(Audrey Voice) You're Mr. Drysdale, aren't you?

73
New cards

Drysdale: Ohh. Why, yes... I was when I came in.

(Audrey Voice) I'm Audrey Roberts for the D. A.'s office. We've recovered a valuable piece of evidence. The camera with which Rita Rio got those pictures of Mr. Clampett.

74
New cards

Drysdale: Camera? That's a cuckoo clock. Why, I haven't seen one of these since I was a boy...

(Audrey Voice) Oh, Mr. Drysdale, you're hardly more than a boy now. You see, the camera is concealed in this cuckoo clock, and is activated by means of this electronic triggering device.

75
New cards

Drysdale: Poor, simple, trusting Jed Clampett. Too bad I didn't see her first. I'd have spotted her immediately.

(Audrey Voice) Really?

76
New cards

Drysdale: Oh, yes. As a bank president, I have to be able to judge a character at a glance.

(Audrey Voice) I wish I had your sophistication and intelligence. I just can't imagine how Rita got Mr. Clampett to be photographed in those incriminating poses.

77
New cards

Drysdale: Oh, well, that's not difficult. We must remember, he's a simple man of the hill, naive and unsuspecting.

(Audrey Voice) Just the opposite of you.

78
New cards

Drysdale: Of course. Now--she probably put the camera on the table... and concealed this triggering device on her person...

(Audrey Voice) How unscrupulous!

79
New cards

Drysdale: Then she probably threw her arms around him...

(Audrey Voice) Like this?

80
New cards

Drysdale: Yes... yes... something like this.

(Audrey Voice) I see... because you explained it... then she kissed and triggered the camera... like this.

81
New cards

Drysdale: Well, it isn't difficult to figure out...

(Audrey Voice) Well, once a real brain has figured it out, it's really a simple trick. Kiss--push the button--and that's it.

82
New cards

Drysdale: Well, I'm always glad to be of service.

(Audrey Voice) Oh, you were! Thank you so much.

83
New cards

Drysdale: My pleasure. Be sure to let me know how things develop.

(Audrey Voice) There should be a development very soon... and we'll keep you in the picture.

84
New cards

Granny: Yeah. An' it's yore kinda money. Confederate.

(Rita Voice) Psst! Colonel!

85
New cards

Drysdale: Ah, congratulations, Miss Roberts. I see you have apprehended that vicious criminal. I shall personally see to it that you get a handsome reward from my bank.

(Audrey Voice) Really?

86
New cards

Drysdale: I'll have my secretary send you one of our beautiful new calendars.

(Rita Voice) Oh. Continue as planned, Colonel.

87
New cards

Jethro: I shore do, Granny. Look whut I did fer Emaline!

(Rita Voice) Good luck with that mouth.

88
New cards

Jed: Miss Emaline, I hope I kin' make you happy.

(Hillbilly Voice) Happy?... With you?

89
New cards

Jed: We'll leave fer Bug Tussle tonight in Jethro's truck, be married in Snyder's Swamp and honeymoon at Hog Was Falls.

(Hillbilly Voice) Well, with fifty million, and living in a place like this...

90
New cards

Jed: Oh, we ain't livin' here, darlin'. Granny wants to go back home 'n' I think we should. There's a li'l ol' shack behin' Possum Ridge right near where the Fettys live... I know you'll want to be near them... they's practically yore adopted maw and paw.

(Hillbilly Voice) Whaaat?

91
New cards

Jed: 'N' Granny kin teach you to skin possums an' boil soap, 'cause iffen I'm a-settlin' down, I'm a-goin' back to the simple life I know best.

(Rita Voice) You gotta be out of your skull.

92
New cards

Colonel: Now, Rita, dear. Think carefully. Fifty million...

(Rita Voice) Not me! I'm blowing this caper. You want the fifty million, you marry Granny.
