It was the nicest little
whorehouse you ever saw.
2
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:55,393
It lay about a mile
outside the city limits,
3
00:00:55,472 --> 00:00:57,645
so everybody could
feel real friendly.

Sheriff Jack Roy Wallace picked it
out for Miss Wulla Jean in 1910,

00:01:02,854 --> 00:01:04,902
and she moved there
with her girls from over
6
00:01:04,982 --> 00:01:07,235

FRED". Right from the beginning,
20
00:01:55,198 --> 00:01:57,166
the little house
was kinda special,
21
00:01:57,242 --> 00:01:59,461
like a home away from home.
22
00:01:59,536 --> 00:02:01,630
Miss Wulla Jean
put a pianola in the
23
00:02:01,705 --> 00:02:04,174
parlor to sorta
help break the ice.
24
00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:06,343
A feller could
ask a girl to dance,
25
00:02:06,418 --> 00:02:09,262
or if he held back a little,
she'd ask him.
26
00:02:09,338 --> 00:02:12,342
And pretty soon they'd
get a little business goin'.
27
00:02:12,424 --> 00:02:14,051
Two dollars' worth.
28
00:02:14,635 --> 00:02:16,012
Yah-hoo!
29
00:02:16,845 --> 00:02:18,688
It wasn't long
before the place became
30
00:02:18,764 --> 00:02:22,189
one of the better known pleasure
palaces in all of Texas.
31
00:02:22,267 --> 00:02:25,817
So much so that the fellers who
visited during World War I
32
00:02:25,896 --> 00:02:28,524
sent their sons
back in World War ll.
33
00:02:29,316 --> 00:02:32,365
The hospitality and
friendliness never changed,
34
00:02:32,444 --> 00:02:35,197
and neither did Miss Wulla
Jean's strict set of rules.
35
00:02:35,614 --> 00:02:37,833
She liked her ladies,
as she called 'em,
36
00:02:38,033 --> 00:02:40,456
to treat her
customers real good,
37
00:02:40,619 --> 00:02:43,042
but never in an unladylike way.
38
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:47,801
And she insisted that each girl
39
00:02:47,876 --> 00:02:50,129
check her gentleman for the clap
40
00:02:50,212 --> 00:02:53,261
and wash him off with
soap and warm water.
41
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:56,685
Some of the fellers claimed
that that was the best part!
42
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,933
Ooh-ee!
43
00:03:02,099 --> 00:03:04,227
It was only during
the Hoover depression
44
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:06,778
that the little house
had a spell of tough times.
45
00:03:07,562 --> 00:03:10,406
Miss Wulla Jean put in a
jukebox to spark up business.
46
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:14,612
But it wasn't always easy in them
days to come up with hard cash.
47
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,204
Well... You just
keep that in the bag,
48
00:03:20,283 --> 00:03:23,537
and I'll take it out back
as soon as we're finished.
49
00:03:26,665 --> 00:03:29,464
So fora while,
as the story goes,
50
00:03:29,543 --> 00:03:32,467
the girls began
accepting poultry in trade.
51
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:34,719
One bird, one lay.
52
00:03:34,798 --> 00:03:37,176
And that's how
the place got its name.
53
00:03:37,676 --> 00:03:39,599
The Chicken Ranch.
54
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:46,018
Of course, if you grew
up anywhere in Texas,
55
00:03:46,101 --> 00:03:49,822
you knew at an early age they was
sellin' somethin' out there,
56
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:51,944
and it wasn't poultry.

So,
for over three generations,
89
00:06:17,878 --> 00:06:20,381
the Chicken Ranch went
peacefully about its business,
90
00:06:20,463 --> 00:06:23,057
while the people here in
Gilbert went about theirs.
91
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:26,770
That is,
until about seven years ago.
92
00:06:28,471 --> 00:06:30,314
I was a deputy back then,
93
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:32,518
workin' for
Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd.
94
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:35,567
You wanted me to remind you
about your 2:00 appointment.
95
00:06:35,854 --> 00:06:37,322
FRED".
That was right after I had
96
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:39,741
lost the fried chicken
franchise here in town,
97
00:06:39,816 --> 00:06:41,409
while Ed Earl had
been Sheriff ever
98
00:06:41,484 --> 00:06:43,657
since old Jack
Roy Wallace retired.
99
00:06:44,946 --> 00:06:46,914
Everybody liked Ed Earl,
100
00:06:47,198 --> 00:06:48,950
especially Ed Earl.
101
00:06:50,994 --> 00:06:52,871
Course,
he sure did know his job,
102
00:06:53,204 --> 00:06:55,252
and he was a big
influence on me,
103
00:06:55,540 --> 00:06:57,668
taught me everything I know.
104
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:00,846
He used to like to
run a quiet town,
105
00:07:01,171 --> 00:07:03,390
with plenty of time
off for socializin'
106
00:07:03,465 --> 00:07:05,934
and coffee over at
Dulcie Mae's cafe.
107
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:08,269
Oh, now and again
there'd be a problem,
108
00:07:08,511 --> 00:07:10,591
and we had some tough ones.
Right in front of my car!
109
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,229
Like the time the mule
sat on Miss Modene's car.
110
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:15,944
He just buckled up
his legs and sat right down!
111
00:07:16,603 --> 00:07:18,526
She was really
havin' a hissy fit,
112
00:07:18,855 --> 00:07:20,823
but it didn't faze Ed Earl.
113
00:07:20,899 --> 00:07:24,119
He just walked over to that
jackass and laid down the law.
114
00:07:25,362 --> 00:07:28,206
You see, Ed Earl always
believed in talkin' first.
115
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:32,085
Cool reasonin', he used to tell
me, could solve any problem.
116
00:07:33,328 --> 00:07:35,001
Course he did have
a bit of a temper.
117
00:07:41,586 --> 00:07:44,465
Anyway, just about
the time he became sheriff,
118
00:07:44,673 --> 00:07:46,425
Miss Wulla Jean passed on.
119
00:07:46,883 --> 00:07:50,979
She left the Chicken Ranch to her
favorite workin' girl, Mona Stangley,
120
00:07:51,346 --> 00:07:54,520

as a Texas institution
121
00:07:54,683 --> 00:07:56,902

FRED". Well, everything was goin'
along fine, just like always,
223
00:12:59,570 --> 00:13:02,198
until that famous
college football celebration.
224
00:13:03,074 --> 00:13:05,497
Some folks think that that's
when the trouble started.
225
00:13:06,202 --> 00:13:08,296
You see, for years,
the winning seniors
226
00:13:08,371 --> 00:13:11,750
of the Texas Aggies-Texas U
football game at Thanksgiving,
227
00:13:12,375 --> 00:13:14,924
they were treated to a night
out at the Chicken Ranch
228
00:13:15,295 --> 00:13:17,423
by their alumni association.
229
00:13:17,672 --> 00:13:19,970
But actually,
the real trouble started
230
00:13:20,049 --> 00:13:21,676
brewin' about three days before.
231
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:33,780
I can't tell you how
thrilled we are with your contribution.
232
00:13:33,938 --> 00:13:35,736
Here's your receipt.
Thank you, Rita.
233
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:38,823
Those kids'll be so excited,
and the mayor, too.
234
00:13:38,901 --> 00:13:41,950
Why, the town council will
probably vote you another plaque.
235
00:13:42,030 --> 00:13:44,579
Lord, I hope not. I got
a closet full of 'em now.
236
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:48,457
Hello, Dulcie Mae.
You know Miss Mona.
237
00:13:49,162 --> 00:13:52,257
Oh, yes, of course!
We've met. Mornin'.
238
00:13:52,332 --> 00:13:53,333
Good mornin'.
239
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:54,668
Isn't this wonderful?
240
00:13:54,751 --> 00:13:56,753
Miss Mona has just
capped the goal for
241
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:58,884

242
00:13:58,963 --> 00:14:01,307
Oh, how nice!
243
00:14:01,716 --> 00:14:05,516
Well, on behalf of my son and his
teammates, I wanna thank you.
244
00:14:05,595 --> 00:14:07,347
You tell them I'll be
well repaid when they
245
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:09,103
take the championship next year.
246
00:14:09,182 --> 00:14:10,525
Goodbye, Rita.
247
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,440
I'm sorry the sheriff
wasn't here to thank you.
248
00:14:12,727 --> 00:14:15,230
He drove over to Meritsville.
He'll be gone all afternoon.
249
00:14:15,521 --> 00:14:18,024
Well, you tell him I said hi.
Bye.
250
00:14:18,566 --> 00:14:19,613
Bye.
251
00:14:19,817 --> 00:14:20,909
Bye.
252
00:14:31,287 --> 00:14:32,630
Hey, Miss Mona.
253
00:14:32,705 --> 00:14:34,378
How are you doin', Deputy Fred?
254
00:14:34,582 --> 00:14:35,674
It's nice to see you.
255
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:38,128
It's good to see you. Keepin'
an eye on my place at night?
256
00:14:38,586 --> 00:14:41,146
Sure are. The Sheriff's real
particular about security out there.
257
00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:43,717
Well, one of these nights when you
ain't on duty, you drop in out there.
258
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,724
My girls would love to show
you a little appreciation.
259
00:14:47,512 --> 00:14:49,935
Shoot, Miss Mona. You know
I'm a married man!
260
00:14:50,056 --> 00:14:51,729
Oh, Fred, you mean to
tell me you don't think
261
00:14:51,808 --> 00:14:53,310
the cows don't
appreciate the time off
262
00:14:53,393 --> 00:14:54,993
when a bull goes
over to another pasture?
263
00:14:55,311 --> 00:14:57,154
Miss Mona!
264
00:14:59,148 --> 00:15:02,652
See you later, Miss Mona.
Okay. Goodbye.
265
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:50,701
Damn it!
266
00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:52,210
What's the matter?
267
00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:54,037
You're in bed already. So?
268
00:15:54,704 --> 00:15:56,456
So, I told you 100 times,
269
00:15:56,539 --> 00:15:58,541
watching you get
undressed is the best part.
270
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,502
The best part?
271
00:16:01,002 --> 00:16:03,505
Well, maybe not the best part,
but in the top two.
272
00:16:05,923 --> 00:16:09,393
Now, would I wanna disappoint
my little honey?
273
00:16:11,345 --> 00:16:14,975
Whoo! Ah. I'm glad I was late.
274
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:19,107
Me too! You just hold your horses.
I got a surprise for you.
275
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:20,609
I went by the post
office this morning.
276
00:16:20,688 --> 00:16:24,238
I picked up a package. The very latest
thing from Frederick's of Hollywood.
277
00:16:24,317 --> 00:16:25,409
Yeah?
Just a little something sexy
278
00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:27,158
I thought you might like.
279
00:16:27,236 --> 00:16:28,276
What do you think? Little?
280
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:29,614
It don't look too little to me.
281
00:16:29,697 --> 00:16:31,074
Well, it certainly
ain't a trainin' bra,
282
00:16:31,157 --> 00:16:32,875
but I do believe
I can fill it out.
283
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:34,293
I don't think you
got any problem there.
284
00:16:34,368 --> 00:16:36,245
I'll be back with more.
285
00:16:36,913 --> 00:16:39,416
You know, Mona,
286
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:41,751
I've known a lot
of women in my life.
287
00:16:42,210 --> 00:16:44,929
None of 'em has ever been
exciting to me like you are.
288
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:48,592
Really? Even after all these years
we've been meetin' like this?
289
00:16:49,091 --> 00:16:50,138
I'll tell you something.
290
00:16:53,596 --> 00:16:58,022
A year with you is like
a minute of sheer happiness.
291
00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:02,439
Well, now, that is just about the
sweetest thing anybody ever said to me.
292
00:17:03,356 --> 00:17:04,573
I know.
293
00:17:05,775 --> 00:17:07,402
You know, honey,
294
00:17:07,652 --> 00:17:10,997
you bring out the...
The romantic in me.
295
00:17:17,620 --> 00:17:18,872
Tah-dah!
296
00:17:20,456 --> 00:17:22,254
Whoo! You did that real fast.
297
00:17:22,792 --> 00:17:24,214
Well, honey,
I've had a lot of practice
298
00:17:24,293 --> 00:17:25,795
gettin' in and
out of my clothes.
299
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,014
How do you like the outfit?
300
00:17:29,131 --> 00:17:30,383
Hot damn.
301
00:17:30,925 --> 00:17:32,893
Makes me feel real sexy.
302
00:17:33,970 --> 00:17:35,688
Whoo.
303
00:17:40,142 --> 00:17:41,815
Well, you don't look real sexy.
304
00:17:42,645 --> 00:17:44,022
What do you mean?
I look like I always look.
305
00:17:44,272 --> 00:17:45,364
That's just it.
306
00:17:45,439 --> 00:17:46,861
It's them damn
droopy boxer drawers.
307
00:17:46,941 --> 00:17:48,488
I just hate
the looks of them things.
308
00:17:48,818 --> 00:17:50,536
I've worn boxer
shorts for years!
309
00:17:50,611 --> 00:17:52,158
And they look like it.
310
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:54,332
These are a brand-new pair.
311
00:17:54,448 --> 00:17:56,576
I don't know what you're talkin'
about, "I don't look sexy."
312
00:17:56,659 --> 00:17:59,879
People tell me I have a real
sexy quality about me.
313
00:17:59,996 --> 00:18:02,294
Well, you do,
but them boxer shorts don't.
314
00:18:02,373 --> 00:18:06,173
But when I was gettin' me some
sexy things, I thought about you,
315
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:08,596
because they have a his 'n' hers
sexy department at Frederick's
316
00:18:08,671 --> 00:18:10,844
and I thought you
might try that on for size.
317
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:14,268
What the hell is it,
a Japanese slingshot?
318
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:19,395
No, it's jockey shorts with
little silver snaps on the side.
319
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:23,695
Mmm. Little is the key word here.
They are real little.
320
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:25,817
In fact, a guy could hurt
himself wearin' those things.
321
00:18:25,896 --> 00:18:27,523
I don't think so,
thank you very much.
322
00:18:27,815 --> 00:18:32,446
Ed Earl, I paid $20 for these, plus
postage. And I want you to wear it.
323
00:18:33,154 --> 00:18:34,997
Aw, you paid $20 for these?
324
00:18:35,072 --> 00:18:36,164
Yes!
325
00:18:36,324 --> 00:18:37,541
Well, you got screwed.
326
00:18:38,701 --> 00:18:40,328
Come on, Ed Earl!
327
00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:41,875
No!
328
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:44,082
If they look half as good on you
as I think they're going to
329
00:18:44,165 --> 00:18:46,384
you ain't gonna have to
wear 'em but a second.
330
00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:47,627
Maybe less.
331
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:50,672
They're ridiculous.
They're impossible.
332
00:18:50,755 --> 00:18:51,802
They're sexy.
333
00:18:51,881 --> 00:18:53,428
No, no, no!
334
00:18:53,883 --> 00:18:56,557
Well, fine! Then I'm gettin'
dressed and goin' home.
335
00:18:56,719 --> 00:19:00,565
Well, fine! I'm goin' in the
bathroom and... Put these on.
336
00:19:05,269 --> 00:19:07,943
Be like puttin' two bowling
balls in a marble bag.
337
00:19:08,898 --> 00:19:11,151
Braggin', braggin', braggin'.
338
00:19:14,904 --> 00:19:17,908
Well, I saw Dulcie
Mae in town today.
339
00:19:18,032 --> 00:19:19,158
Oh, yeah?
340
00:19:19,241 --> 00:19:21,915
I guess you'll be goin' over
there for Thanksgivin' dinner.
341
00:19:22,036 --> 00:19:23,458
Don't I always?
342
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:26,089
You know, you better check
that turkey of hers,
343
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:27,758
because there's a hook
in there that's gonna
344
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:29,585
drag your ass to
a wedding chapel.
345
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:32,680
No way.
346
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:39,600
I don't believe in matrimony.
It screws up a relationship.
347
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:41,556
Amen to that, Ed Earl.
348
00:19:43,099 --> 00:19:44,100
Ready?
349
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,443
Oh, I'm always ready.
350
00:19:52,108 --> 00:19:54,611
Well, hellfire. Ls that it?
351
00:19:54,777 --> 00:19:55,903
How'd you like it?
352
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:57,780
I didn't hardly
get to even see them!
353
00:19:59,323 --> 00:20:00,370
That's all you're gonna see,
354
00:20:00,449 --> 00:20:02,201
'cause I ain't gonna parade
around like no model.
355
00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:04,587
Aw, come on, Ed Earl. For me.
356
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:05,959
No! No.
357
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,424
Come on. One itsy-bitsy peek?
358
00:20:08,499 --> 00:20:10,046
What are you doin'? Man!
359
00:20:10,126 --> 00:20:14,973
Now, that's what the
little silver snaps are for.
360
00:20:15,089 --> 00:20:17,217
Work, don't they?
361
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:19,510
Just like a snap.
362
00:20:20,761 --> 00:20:23,014
Come on over here and give me
a little lip-lock.
363
00:20:25,391 --> 00:20:26,431
Oop. Gotta brush my teeth.
364
00:20:26,475 --> 00:20:27,977
Ah.
365
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:30,021
You know how I am
about my breath.
366
00:20:36,444 --> 00:20:38,697
Oh, Ed Earl, I like
a lot of things,
367
00:20:38,779 --> 00:20:41,077
but these afternoons with you
have got to top the list.

00:20:41,449 --> 00:20:43,702

Sheriff!
415
00:22:48,617 --> 00:22:50,119
Fred.
416
00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:59,629
Oh. Hold that position, hmm?
417
00:22:59,712 --> 00:23:02,556
Don't move. Be right back.
418
00:23:13,976 --> 00:23:15,649
This better be important.
419
00:23:15,728 --> 00:23:16,820
Well, I think it is.
420
00:23:16,896 --> 00:23:18,398
I saw your car
parked from the highway
421
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,902
and I figured your
phone was out, because...
422
00:23:19,982 --> 00:23:21,359
What are you wearin' that for?
423
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:23,535
Takin' a shower.
424
00:23:23,611 --> 00:23:24,611
Oh, really?
425
00:23:24,653 --> 00:23:25,825
I always take my
shower in the mornin'.
426
00:23:25,905 --> 00:23:27,703
I read in the Reader's Digest...
427
00:23:27,781 --> 00:23:29,328
I don't care!
428
00:23:30,159 --> 00:23:31,285
What do you want?
429
00:23:31,368 --> 00:23:33,245
Oh, it's the mayor.
He wants to speak to you.
430
00:23:33,329 --> 00:23:35,331
Rit♪s been callin' all
over the county for you.
431
00:23:35,581 --> 00:23:37,003
He wants a meeting right away.
432
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:38,129
Can't it wait?
433
00:23:38,459 --> 00:23:39,927
You mean till after your shower?
434
00:23:40,336 --> 00:23:42,384
Mmm. You go to your radio.
435
00:23:42,713 --> 00:23:44,340
Tell him I'll be
there when I get there.
436
00:23:44,965 --> 00:23:47,343
Nothing can be that important that
it can't wait till this afternoon.
437
00:23:47,676 --> 00:23:48,677
Right, Sheriff.
438
00:23:49,762 --> 00:23:51,514
Nice man, but dumb.
439
00:23:59,021 --> 00:24:02,025
Mona?
440
00:24:02,691 --> 00:24:03,817
Mona?
441
00:24:41,355 --> 00:24:42,955
Ain't that funny?
All this time Miss Mona
442
00:24:43,023 --> 00:24:45,025
was at the back
knockin' on the screen door.
443
00:24:45,109 --> 00:24:47,949
She said she's in a real big hurry but
just dropped by to give you this.
444
00:24:52,199 --> 00:24:53,826
It's a Japanese slingshot.
445
00:24:57,079 --> 00:24:59,798
Well, look at that! At last!
446
00:24:59,873 --> 00:25:02,092
Okay, Rufus.
What's on your mind?
447
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:03,339
Something that
could have serious
448
00:25:03,419 --> 00:25:05,012
implications to
the health of this town!
449
00:25:05,087 --> 00:25:06,805
Tell him, C.J.!
Just like you told me.
450
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,240
Well, Sheriff, I have this friend
that works in a TV station
451
00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:10,346
down in Houston.
452
00:25:10,426 --> 00:25:12,679
He tipped me off
that Melvin P. Thorpe's
453
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:15,184
plannin' an expose
on the Chicken Ranch.
454
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:16,689
Who?
455
00:25:16,765 --> 00:25:18,108
Melvin P. Thorpe!
456
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:19,730
He's that crazy
consumer advocate.
457
00:25:19,810 --> 00:25:21,983
Has a report on
the late night news.
458
00:25:22,354 --> 00:25:24,857
He's got a new show now,
a half hour once a week,
459
00:25:24,940 --> 00:25:27,238
The Watchdog Report.
It's on tonight.
460
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,659
The Chicken Ranch on TV.
Now, come on, fellas.
461
00:25:31,947 --> 00:25:33,324
Television is a family medium.
462
00:25:33,407 --> 00:25:35,034
But he's a sensationalist,
Ed Earl.
463
00:25:35,117 --> 00:25:38,291
He shows up with his TV cameras every
time a consumer has a complaint.
464
00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:40,213
He's a menace to
the business community.
465
00:25:40,539 --> 00:25:43,258
He's that feller that put the
peanuts back in the chocolate bar.
466
00:25:44,918 --> 00:25:46,010
What?
467
00:25:46,086 --> 00:25:48,088
He made the makers of the
Peanut Delight candy bar
468
00:25:48,172 --> 00:25:50,391
admit that they put less peanuts
469
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:52,093
in each bar than
they advertised.
470
00:25:52,176 --> 00:25:53,416
He made them change their ways.
471
00:25:54,261 --> 00:25:55,421
Sounds like a tough customer.
472
00:25:55,888 --> 00:25:57,368
He's got a lot of
influence out there.
473
00:25:57,765 --> 00:25:59,645
If he brings cameras out
to the Chicken Ranch...
474
00:25:59,725 --> 00:26:03,070
Come on, Rufus!
I'll make some phone calls.
475
00:26:04,271 --> 00:26:06,899
I got a little influence
around this state myself.
476
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:13,035
Well, it's no use talkin'
to me about it, Sheriff!
477
00:26:13,363 --> 00:26:16,412
Melvin P. Thorpe is now the biggest
attraction at this station.
478
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:21,171
High ratings. Lots of letters.
He doesn't listen to anybody.
479
00:26:21,663 --> 00:26:23,586
Hell, he wants to go national!
480
00:26:23,665 --> 00:26:26,043
Wants to be watchdog
for the whole U.S. of A.
481
00:26:26,335 --> 00:26:27,803
Love to help you, Ed Earl,
482
00:26:27,878 --> 00:26:30,238
but just like you don't want to
mess with the Chicken Ranch,
483
00:26:30,297 --> 00:26:32,299
I don't wanna ruffle
this old bird's feathers.
484
00:26:32,925 --> 00:26:35,974
Here in Houston, he's becomin'
a regular Texas attraction.
485
00:26:36,345 --> 00:26:38,268
Well, now, wait a minute,
Ed Earl.
486
00:26:38,347 --> 00:26:42,318
I'd tread easy on this one. Them
TV boys can be mighty powerful.
487
00:26:42,476 --> 00:26:44,649
And mighty useful,
if you get my meaning.
488
00:26:45,104 --> 00:26:46,105
Senator, roll call.
489
00:26:47,189 --> 00:26:48,782
Excuse me, Ed Earl. I gotta go.
490
00:26:48,857 --> 00:26:51,235
It's that damn
bilingual bullshit again.
491
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:53,112
Let me give you
a word of advice from
492
00:26:53,237 --> 00:26:55,410
one elected official to another.
493
00:26:56,198 --> 00:26:58,166
Be careful of the box.
494
00:27:02,121 --> 00:27:04,215
Son of a bitch.
What the hell's going on?
495
00:27:04,289 --> 00:27:07,042
This goddam Melvin P. Thorpe's
got the whole state bamboozled.
496
00:27:07,126 --> 00:27:09,379
This is serious, Ed Earl.
You gotta do something.
497
00:27:10,045 --> 00:27:11,467
I intend to.
498
00:27:12,422 --> 00:27:15,471
Deputy Fred. I want you to hold
down the fort for a while.
499
00:27:15,717 --> 00:27:16,969
Me? Yeah, you.
500
00:27:17,052 --> 00:27:18,474
Where you goin'?
501
00:27:18,554 --> 00:27:19,726
I'm goin' to Houston.
I'm gonna take care
502
00:27:19,805 --> 00:27:21,307
of that little
pecker wood myself.
503
00:27:42,411 --> 00:27:44,413
This is it. Thank you.
504
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:47,796
Come in.
505
00:27:51,170 --> 00:27:52,547
Mr Thorpe?
506
00:27:52,921 --> 00:27:53,968
I know you.
507
00:27:54,548 --> 00:27:55,595
You do?
508
00:27:55,924 --> 00:27:59,554
Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd. They told
me you were here. Come on in.
509
00:28:00,971 --> 00:28:02,598
I hope I'm not...
510
00:28:03,765 --> 00:28:05,017
Interrupting anything.
511
00:28:05,267 --> 00:28:07,144
Oh, please!
It's my pleasure, my honor.
512
00:28:07,227 --> 00:28:08,729
What brings you here to Houston?
513
00:28:08,812 --> 00:28:10,405
Sit down. Anywhere over here.
514
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,903
I, uh....
I'm gettin' dressed.
515
00:28:13,025 --> 00:28:15,778
Sit down.
I've got my TV show to do,
516
00:28:15,903 --> 00:28:17,450
and I'm runnin'
a bit behind time.
517
00:28:17,946 --> 00:28:19,948
It's your show I want
to talk to you about, Mr Thorpe.
518
00:28:20,032 --> 00:28:21,409
Oop. Melvin.
519
00:28:21,491 --> 00:28:22,492
Melvin.
520
00:28:22,784 --> 00:28:24,536
Please. You watch the show, Ed?
521
00:28:24,620 --> 00:28:25,792
Last week Well...
522
00:28:26,330 --> 00:28:28,674
was the best ratin' we ever had.
523
00:28:28,832 --> 00:28:32,006
The city planning commissioner
was drivin' a city car...
524
00:28:32,085 --> 00:28:33,587
Just hold that for me, will you?
525
00:28:34,963 --> 00:28:37,842
While he was on vacation.
Caught him dead to rights.
526
00:28:38,258 --> 00:28:40,181
That pitiful putz.
Would you just pull that up?
527
00:28:40,260 --> 00:28:42,228
What? Just pull that up.
528
00:28:43,847 --> 00:28:45,895
And we broke a 30 share.
529
00:28:45,974 --> 00:28:47,976
It's affectin' my pieces
on the late night news.
530
00:28:48,435 --> 00:28:51,359
Up, up, up. They just
love my little report.
531
00:28:53,815 --> 00:28:55,032
I hear you're very popular.
532
00:28:55,359 --> 00:29:00,866
The power of television, of public
exposure, is so great it scares me.
533
00:29:01,114 --> 00:29:03,617
I swear, I could get the
mayor's own children
534
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:04,701
to throw rocks at him.
535
00:29:05,827 --> 00:29:07,500
Which show did
you like best, Ed?
536
00:29:09,248 --> 00:29:11,376
I think the one about the...
537
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:12,623
Nuts in the chocolate bar.
538
00:29:12,668 --> 00:29:14,762
That's one of my favorites.
539
00:29:15,128 --> 00:29:18,302
"Threescore" means 60,
like the Bible says.
540
00:29:18,382 --> 00:29:21,477
So, if it says "60
nuts" on the wrapper,
541
00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:24,600
I wanna see 60 nuts inside.
542
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,479
And I'm talkin' full nuts.
I'm not talkin' a half nut,
543
00:29:27,849 --> 00:29:29,851
or nut bits or nut chips.
544
00:29:31,728 --> 00:29:33,071
I'm talkin' a full nut.
545
00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:38,906
I can see that.
546
00:29:39,361 --> 00:29:43,616
Thank God we still live in
a society where anything
547
00:29:43,949 --> 00:29:46,793
that's phony or dishonest
can't stand the light of day.
548
00:29:47,577 --> 00:29:49,545
Sock. Beg your pardon?
549
00:29:49,621 --> 00:29:50,918
Uh, sock.
550
00:29:51,498 --> 00:29:53,091
Thank you. Yeah.
551
00:29:54,626 --> 00:29:58,005
Most corporations involved
in false advertisin'
552
00:29:58,630 --> 00:30:00,724
would just laugh at a $50 fine.
553
00:30:01,383 --> 00:30:03,431
But you show up
with your TV camera
554
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,808
and give them
a little bad publicity
555
00:30:06,096 --> 00:30:10,067
and they shape up faster than goose
shit slides through a tin horn.
556
00:30:15,022 --> 00:30:18,026
Well, Melvin, it's that bad publicity
I want to talk to you about.
557
00:30:18,275 --> 00:30:20,528
That could hurt people.
You take that report
558
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:22,157
you're doin' on
the Chicken Ranch.
559
00:30:23,030 --> 00:30:24,782
That place is older
than rocks and water.
560
00:30:25,407 --> 00:30:28,160
I wouldn't be surprised if your
granddaddy took your daddy out there
561
00:30:28,243 --> 00:30:29,790
to learn about
the birds and the bees.
562
00:30:29,870 --> 00:30:33,625
I'm from New Jersey.
563
00:30:34,082 --> 00:30:37,586
See, I moved to Houston six years ago.
564
00:30:37,794 --> 00:30:39,592
Texas suits my style.
565
00:30:41,131 --> 00:30:42,849
The point I'm tryin' to make is
566
00:30:42,924 --> 00:30:45,268
that every schoolboy in
the state knows about it.
567
00:30:46,011 --> 00:30:47,854
Most of the politicians
have slept there.
568
00:30:47,929 --> 00:30:50,057
And the mayor and the people of
my county that voted for me,
569
00:30:50,140 --> 00:30:51,767
they want to keep
things just the way they are.
570
00:30:51,933 --> 00:30:55,779
Hmm. You know something,
Sheriff, it just struck me.
571
00:30:56,188 --> 00:30:58,282
We are in the same profession.
572
00:30:58,357 --> 00:30:59,404
What's that?
573
00:30:59,483 --> 00:31:00,860
Law enforcement.
574
00:31:00,942 --> 00:31:03,786
I'm out there fightin' for the
rights of the public, just like you.
575
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:06,490
Both of us are interested
in protectin' the public.
576
00:31:06,782 --> 00:31:10,252
You in the old way,
and me in the new.
577
00:31:10,911 --> 00:31:12,003
Uh-huh. The new?
578
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:13,797
Television.
579
00:31:14,206 --> 00:31:16,504
I'm the electronic
bounty hunter.
580
00:31:16,583 --> 00:31:18,802
I use a camera, you use a gun.
581
00:31:19,044 --> 00:31:20,296
Yeah.
582
00:31:20,504 --> 00:31:21,847
Well, Melvin,
everybody'd be happy
583
00:31:21,922 --> 00:31:23,219
if you'd just drop
the whole thing.
584
00:31:23,298 --> 00:31:24,345
Ah.
585
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,223
I mean, those ladies out there,
586
00:31:27,636 --> 00:31:29,604
they perform
a necessary function.
587
00:31:29,679 --> 00:31:30,726
I mean, right or wrong...
588
00:31:30,806 --> 00:31:32,308
Right or wrong
don't interest me!
589
00:31:32,933 --> 00:31:36,312
I'm no moralizer. I leave
all that to the preacher.
590
00:31:36,770 --> 00:31:38,317
Well, I'm glad.
591
00:31:38,939 --> 00:31:40,441
Anyway, the mayor was
thinkin' maybe
592
00:31:40,524 --> 00:31:41,867
you'd want a little
unnecessary publicity.
593
00:31:41,942 --> 00:31:45,913
Unnecessary publicity?
He's got me all wrong!
594
00:31:45,987 --> 00:31:49,617
I'm not one of those sensation
mongers out to boost his own ego!
595
00:31:49,741 --> 00:31:50,742
Clear.
596
00:31:52,244 --> 00:31:53,587
How do you like it?
597
00:31:53,662 --> 00:31:54,788
It's different.
598
00:31:55,163 --> 00:31:57,586
I designed this myself.
599
00:31:57,707 --> 00:32:02,338
No, you tell your mayor he's got
nothing to fear from me on that score.
600
00:32:03,171 --> 00:32:04,423
He'll be happy to hear that.
601
00:32:04,506 --> 00:32:06,224
I'm a lawman.
That's my interest.
602
00:32:06,299 --> 00:32:08,427
The law, right, partner?
603
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:10,137

00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:13,474
Oh, I'm on!
Friend Ed, I gotta go.
605
00:32:14,516 --> 00:32:15,813
That's my cue.
606
00:32:16,351 --> 00:32:18,604
Come on!
607
00:32:19,688 --> 00:32:21,031
Apres vous!
608
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:24,322
Come to think of it, I'd love
to do an interview with you.
609
00:32:24,484 --> 00:32:25,610
I don't think I'm the type.
610
00:32:25,694 --> 00:32:27,947
Oh, nonsense! You're exactly what
the public would like to see.
611
00:32:28,029 --> 00:32:29,997
Really? We'll discuss
it after the show.
612
00:32:30,073 --> 00:32:31,950
I want you to be my guest.

This is the sponsor's booth.

Just go in there,
make yourself comfortable.
615

Make yourself to home.
See you later, partner.

The proprietor of this

Damn. That man is crazier
than a peach orchard sow.
691
00:36:30,605 --> 00:36:32,824
Announcin' it
straight out on TV.
692
00:36:32,899 --> 00:36:34,446
So you been sayin'.
693
00:36:34,526 --> 00:36:35,994
Everybody's talkin' about it.
694
00:36:36,069 --> 00:36:38,822
Not that it's big news to anybody
over three months of age.
695
00:36:39,614 --> 00:36:41,207
But they heard it
in their livin' room.
696
00:36:41,282 --> 00:36:43,125
Sung. Sung to music.
697
00:36:43,952 --> 00:36:45,920
And he actually called
my name on television.
698
00:36:46,913 --> 00:36:49,086
Worse than that. The son
of a bitch called mine!
699
00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:52,969
You know, Ed Earl, seems like
ever since I can remember,
700
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:54,421
folks been jumpin' on me
701
00:36:54,504 --> 00:36:55,596
for one reason or another.
702
00:36:55,672 --> 00:36:56,844
Mmm.
703
00:36:57,215 --> 00:36:59,496
But we're gonna beat this thing.
I ain't worried about it.
704
00:36:59,968 --> 00:37:02,312
You know why?
Because I trust you.
705
00:37:02,387 --> 00:37:04,389
Mmm. 'Cause you're my protector.
706
00:37:09,644 --> 00:37:11,646
Do you know he wears
a sock in his underwear?
707
00:37:12,313 --> 00:37:13,690
A sock? Yeah.
708
00:37:14,232 --> 00:37:16,405
All rolled up like
a Jimmy Dean sausage.
709
00:37:18,403 --> 00:37:19,996
Well, I bet he's
runnin' for office.
710
00:37:20,071 --> 00:37:22,324
That's typical of
them crusadin' fanatics.
711
00:37:22,657 --> 00:37:24,000
They flare up every few months.
712
00:37:24,075 --> 00:37:26,578
They're always
confusin' crime with sin.
713
00:37:26,661 --> 00:37:28,163
People just get
sick of hearin' it
714
00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:31,420
and pretty soon it just
clears out of the air.
715
00:37:32,751 --> 00:37:34,003
You're probably right.
716
00:37:34,169 --> 00:37:35,421
Well, ain't I always?
717
00:37:35,503 --> 00:37:36,675
Mmm-hmm.
718
00:37:37,338 --> 00:37:39,386
What? You know what I
was thinkin', Ed Earl?
719
00:37:39,466 --> 00:37:41,218
Just how much I miss
all the little stuff
720
00:37:41,301 --> 00:37:43,770
me and you used to do,
like goin' up to the lake.
721
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:46,810
Wouldn't it be fun just to go up
there, get a couple of six-packs
722
00:37:46,890 --> 00:37:49,109
and just get
drunker than Cootie Brown?
723
00:37:49,184 --> 00:37:52,358
Girl, that's the best idea you had
all year. When we gonna do this?
724
00:37:53,021 --> 00:37:54,301
Well, I'd like to do it tonight.
725
00:37:55,356 --> 00:37:56,699
So would I.
726
00:38:00,612 --> 00:38:02,706
Well, I wonder who that is.
727
00:38:08,620 --> 00:38:10,338
Hey, Deputy Fred.
Morning, girls!
728
00:38:10,413 --> 00:38:11,653
How's your tallywacker hangin'?
729
00:38:11,706 --> 00:38:13,834
Fine...
Uh...
730
00:38:13,917 --> 00:38:15,134
Shoot
731
00:38:19,130 --> 00:38:20,973
Hi, Sheriff.
This better be important.
732
00:38:21,049 --> 00:38:22,972
I think it is.
That Melvin P. Thorpe
733
00:38:23,051 --> 00:38:24,268
is settin' up
his television show
734
00:38:24,344 --> 00:38:25,971
right out in front
of the courthouse!
735
00:38:26,054 --> 00:38:27,254
In front of the... Courthouse!
736
00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:29,683
He's gettin' some pictures for
a piece on the late news tonight.
737
00:38:29,766 --> 00:38:33,646
He's got a whole posse of TV cameramen.
You better come take a look.
738
00:38:33,728 --> 00:38:35,275
Right out in front of...
Your office!
739
00:38:35,355 --> 00:38:36,447
Son of a... Bitch.
740
00:38:40,068 --> 00:38:42,287
I cannot believe that sucker!
741
00:38:42,362 --> 00:38:44,330
You know, he even
brought his own singers.
742
00:38:44,405 --> 00:38:46,032
Wait'll I get my hands...
743
00:38:48,201 --> 00:38:49,498
Go get him, Sheriff!
744
00:38:49,577 --> 00:38:50,749
Come on, Deputy Fred!
745
00:38:52,747 --> 00:38:56,593
Ed Earl, please don't go doin' something
stupid you're gonna be sorry for!
746
00:38:57,752 --> 00:38:58,799
Watch your temper.
747
00:38:58,878 --> 00:39:00,505
Everything's
gonna be fine, Mona.
748
00:39:00,588 --> 00:39:01,965
Leave that
little shithead to me.
749
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:24,780
Howdy again, good neighbors. Melvin P.
Thorpe, the old Watchdog himself,
750
00:39:25,029 --> 00:39:26,952
shinin' a spotlight on Gilbert,
751
00:39:27,031 --> 00:39:29,250
the little town
with the big shame.
752
00:39:30,285 --> 00:39:32,037
Who's that fella in
them trick britches?
753
00:39:32,662 --> 00:39:34,982
I don't know, but it's too late
in the year for a carnival.
754
00:39:35,665 --> 00:39:37,667
One of them TV folks,
looks like to me.
755
00:39:38,001 --> 00:39:40,504
We're here at
the Lanville County Courthouse
756
00:39:40,587 --> 00:39:42,214
to ask some of
the local citizens
757
00:39:42,422 --> 00:39:44,891
how they feel about
the infamous bordello
758
00:39:44,966 --> 00:39:48,596
runnin' wide open in their
American home town.
759
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:51,564
Cut! All right,
now, stay with me, boys.
760
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:55,894
And when I start the music, I want you
Dogettes to start with me, brisk!
761
00:39:56,644 --> 00:40:00,148
Good people of Gilbert, may I
have your attention, please?
762
00:40:00,523 --> 00:40:03,902
I would like to speak to you about a
matter of great importance and concern.
763
00:40:03,985 --> 00:40:05,862
Let's hear it, Melvin!
Lay it on us.
764
00:40:06,154 --> 00:40:07,997
I'm speakin' to you
about nothin' less
765
00:40:08,072 --> 00:40:10,666
than your
community's moral health!
766
00:40:11,451 --> 00:40:14,830
I'm talkin' to you
about official blindness,
767
00:40:15,288 --> 00:40:19,168
official corruption,
official malfeasance.
768
00:40:19,292 --> 00:40:21,044
He sure is wound up.
769
00:40:21,169 --> 00:40:24,139
Yep. I'm just waitin'
for Ed Earl to get here.
770
00:40:24,297 --> 00:40:25,640
He's gonna kick that boy's ass.
771
00:40:31,512 --> 00:40:33,105
It's no big secret.
772
00:40:33,181 --> 00:40:35,604
You know what's
goin' on in this town
773
00:40:35,683 --> 00:40:39,563
and what's goin'
on is evil, immoral,
774
00:40:40,271 --> 00:40:42,899
brazen and against the law!
775
00:40:42,982 --> 00:40:44,029

Keep a grip on yourself.
793
00:41:25,733 --> 00:41:26,825
Don't get your back up!
794
00:41:26,901 --> 00:41:28,949
Stop whimperin', Rufus.
795
00:41:31,489 --> 00:41:33,912
Well, if it isn't
the man himself.
796
00:41:34,409 --> 00:41:37,037
Would you care to give me
an interview now, Sheriff?
797
00:41:37,245 --> 00:41:40,374
I'm gonna give you 30 seconds,
you fancified fart.
798
00:41:40,623 --> 00:41:42,421
Get you and your singin'
chorus the hell out of town!
799
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:43,501
Now, wait a minute.
800
00:41:43,584 --> 00:41:45,678
And get those cameras and the
rest of that crap off the street.
801
00:41:45,753 --> 00:41:46,925
You're blockin' traffic!
802
00:41:47,005 --> 00:41:48,598
The only traffic we are blockin'
803
00:41:48,673 --> 00:41:50,516
is that headed out
for the Chicken Ranch.
804
00:41:50,591 --> 00:41:52,138
Right, Sheriff?
805
00:41:53,261 --> 00:41:56,765
Little fat buddy,
up to now you got two tickets.
806
00:41:57,015 --> 00:42:00,064
One for paradin' without a license
and the other for insultin' me.
807
00:42:00,727 --> 00:42:02,775
Now, you better get that
travellin' circus out of town
808
00:42:02,854 --> 00:42:05,323
or I'm gonna lock you up so
fast your corset's gonna pop!
809
00:42:05,481 --> 00:42:08,360
Oh, yeah? We're
perfectly within the law.
810
00:42:08,651 --> 00:42:11,450
As a newsman, I have
First Amendment protection.
811
00:42:11,654 --> 00:42:13,577
Get this.
812
00:42:14,115 --> 00:42:17,369
The public has a right to know
what is goin' on out there
813
00:42:17,452 --> 00:42:20,706
and what kind of pay-off
you're acceptin' to protect
814
00:42:20,788 --> 00:42:22,916
that notorious
house of ill repute.
815
00:42:23,166 --> 00:42:24,213
Ooh!
816
00:42:37,096 --> 00:42:41,567
First thing. First thing is you're
standin' in Lanville County,
817
00:42:41,642 --> 00:42:44,316
which, by my figurin',
is about a 100 miles west
818
00:42:44,395 --> 00:42:46,443
of that stink hole
you call Houston.
819
00:42:46,564 --> 00:42:48,658
So I can't see
it's any of your business
820
00:42:48,733 --> 00:42:50,201
what goes on out here.
821
00:42:50,485 --> 00:42:53,238
Oh, yeah? Please...
822
00:42:54,113 --> 00:42:57,743
Number two. You ain't the
law around here and I am.
823
00:42:58,451 --> 00:43:01,045
So don't be tellin' me what
my goddamn job is,
824
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:05,170
or I'll whip your butt so bad it'll
look like the stripes on a barber pole.
825
00:43:05,291 --> 00:43:06,417
Get him, Sheriff.
826
00:43:06,501 --> 00:43:07,969
May be mean, but he's ours!
827
00:43:08,044 --> 00:43:10,763
Number three.
No sawed-off little pecker
828
00:43:10,838 --> 00:43:13,933
is gonna accuse me of takin' a
bribe and live to tell about it
829
00:43:14,008 --> 00:43:16,557
'cause I wear the badge
in this goddamn county.
830
00:43:16,636 --> 00:43:20,391
So you listen and listen good, you
over-padded, televisin' turd.
831
00:43:20,598 --> 00:43:22,726
If I ever see you or any
of those little bastards
832
00:43:22,850 --> 00:43:24,727
that work for you
in my town again,
833
00:43:24,852 --> 00:43:26,980
I'm gonna knock you
so flat you're gonna
834
00:43:27,063 --> 00:43:28,610
have to roll down
your socks to shit!
835
00:43:30,358 --> 00:43:31,951
That's tellin' him, Sheriff!
836
00:43:32,026 --> 00:43:33,323
Oh, my goodness!
837
00:43:33,528 --> 00:43:35,201
So get outta here, you goddamn,
838
00:43:35,530 --> 00:43:37,908
wig-wearin',
citified son of a bitch!
839
00:43:42,954 --> 00:43:46,800
Holy shit!
Oh, my God, that man's crazy!
840
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:48,296
Oh! Ooh.
841
00:43:54,006 --> 00:43:55,349
Move, you schmuck!
842
00:43:58,052 --> 00:43:59,895
Move it! Come on!
843
00:44:00,304 --> 00:44:04,229
Get outta here! Move this thing!
844
00:44:04,308 --> 00:44:07,437
Come on, move this thing!
I'll get you for this.
845
00:44:07,687 --> 00:44:10,566
You son of a bitch!
You'll pay for this.
846
00:44:10,690 --> 00:44:13,660
You're in trouble, Sheriff!
You're in big trouble!
847
00:44:15,319 --> 00:44:16,946
So long, partner.
848
00:44:43,764 --> 00:44:47,519
Boy, you sent him hightailin'.
I was so proud of you!
849
00:44:47,602 --> 00:44:48,728
Didn't I? Yeah.
850
00:44:51,522 --> 00:44:53,115
Mmm-hmm.
851
00:44:54,108 --> 00:44:55,781
Look at them stars.
852
00:44:55,860 --> 00:44:56,952
Mmm.
853
00:44:57,862 --> 00:45:00,115
Well, there ain't nothin'
prettier than a Texas sky.
854
00:45:00,907 --> 00:45:02,124
Ain't that the truth.
855
00:45:05,244 --> 00:45:06,746
Hey, look! Did you
see that shootin' star?
856
00:45:06,829 --> 00:45:08,081
Mmm-hmm.
857
00:45:08,789 --> 00:45:11,212
Yeah. That could've been
a spaceship, you know.
858
00:45:11,292 --> 00:45:12,332
You believe in spaceships?
859
00:45:12,376 --> 00:45:13,468
Sure.
860
00:45:14,086 --> 00:45:15,884
I saw a picture once.
861
00:45:15,963 --> 00:45:18,091
Them fellers that's supposed
to be from up there.
862
00:45:18,174 --> 00:45:19,596
Fly around. Uh-huh.
863
00:45:20,301 --> 00:45:22,850
Tiny little fellers,
bald-headed.
864
00:45:23,095 --> 00:45:25,348
Little feet,
little hands, got no peckers.
865
00:45:26,307 --> 00:45:27,854
Got no peckers?
866
00:45:29,268 --> 00:45:32,192
Well, I ain't interested.
867
00:45:32,980 --> 00:45:34,653
I don't think my
girls would be either.
868
00:45:36,651 --> 00:45:40,076
When I was a little kid, I
used to imagine a flyin' saucer
869
00:45:40,154 --> 00:45:43,658
swoopin' down and pickin' me up
and takin' me off to heaven.
870
00:45:43,824 --> 00:45:45,451
Like the angels.
871
00:45:45,618 --> 00:45:46,835
Mmm-hmm.
872
00:45:46,994 --> 00:45:50,123
"L looked, and behold, a whirlwind
comin' out of the north.
873
00:45:50,206 --> 00:45:51,674
"And out of the midst
of the fire came the
874
00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:53,376
"likeness of four
living creatures."
875
00:45:55,002 --> 00:45:56,282
What the hell you talkin' about?
876
00:45:56,337 --> 00:45:57,509
Well, that's from the Bible.
877
00:45:57,588 --> 00:45:59,807
That's what the Bible says
about spaceships in Ezekiel.
878
00:45:59,882 --> 00:46:01,259
Don't you know
nothin' about the Bible?
879
00:46:01,342 --> 00:46:02,764
Yeah, I know about the Bible!
880
00:46:02,843 --> 00:46:05,043
I just don't know nothin'
about no Ezekiel in the Bible.
881
00:46:05,638 --> 00:46:09,017
I knew Ezekiel Peebles
once in the eighth grade.
882
00:46:10,601 --> 00:46:12,444
Think I busted his jaw.
883
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:13,646
Mmm.
884
00:46:13,729 --> 00:46:15,572
Well, that was
very Christian of you.
885
00:46:15,648 --> 00:46:18,071
Well, most of my
family was Baptist.
886
00:46:19,193 --> 00:46:21,537
Well, I never stayed
with one family long enough
887
00:46:21,821 --> 00:46:23,101
to become
anything in particular.
888
00:46:23,572 --> 00:46:26,041
But I read the Bible.
I believe in Jesus.
889
00:46:26,826 --> 00:46:28,578
I think Jesus was...
890
00:46:28,995 --> 00:46:30,747
Was a real good man.
891
00:46:30,871 --> 00:46:32,669
And he was a heck of a speaker.
892
00:46:33,291 --> 00:46:37,046
Yep. I knew a woman once
that had a vision of Jesus.
893
00:46:37,128 --> 00:46:40,678
He came right in her house, set
right down at the foot of her bed.
894
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,057
Mmm-hmm?
895
00:46:42,341 --> 00:46:44,309
I don't know what I'd do
if that happened to me.
896
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,141
I'll tell you something, honey.
897
00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:48,973
If Jesus comes to your house,
all hell's gonna break loose.
898
00:46:51,934 --> 00:46:53,811
You got a point there, Ed Earl.
899
00:46:54,103 --> 00:46:55,400
But you know,
Jesus was really good
900
00:46:55,479 --> 00:46:57,231
to Mary Magdalene,
the fallen woman.
901
00:46:57,732 --> 00:46:59,700
He was always
bein' very sociable.
902
00:47:00,234 --> 00:47:03,955
He went to this big weddin'
once and they ran out of wine.
903
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,282
You know what he did?
Turned the water into wine.
904
00:47:07,283 --> 00:47:09,911
Well, that's a man that knows
how to throw a party.
905
00:47:10,411 --> 00:47:12,539
Now, don't be sacrilegious.
906
00:47:12,872 --> 00:47:16,126
I'm not.
I'm not. He forgives me.
907
00:47:17,251 --> 00:47:18,753
He knows I was kiddin'.
908
00:47:18,878 --> 00:47:20,346
Yeah, I know he forgives you.
909
00:47:20,421 --> 00:47:23,015
That's funny, now,
how God can forgive you,
910
00:47:23,090 --> 00:47:24,888
and people can't.
Now why is that?
911
00:47:25,593 --> 00:47:29,814
Well, because people are not
very God-like, Mona.
912
00:47:30,723 --> 00:47:31,940
I know.
913
00:47:32,850 --> 00:47:34,067
I know.
914
00:47:35,311 --> 00:47:36,437
Yeah.
915
00:47:51,118 --> 00:47:52,495
What is it?
916
00:47:54,538 --> 00:47:56,131
Melvin P. Thorpe
917
00:47:56,374 --> 00:47:58,968
is a sorry son of a bitch.
918
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,640
You reckon he's gonna
run for the legislature?
919
00:48:08,177 --> 00:48:09,269
Why?
920
00:48:12,306 --> 00:48:14,809
I never told
anybody this, Mona, but...
921
00:48:17,478 --> 00:48:19,598
I was thinkin' of runnin'
for the legislature someday.
922
00:48:20,940 --> 00:48:22,442
Are you serious, Ed Earl?
923
00:48:22,525 --> 00:48:23,651
Yeah.
924
00:48:24,860 --> 00:48:27,955
They say an honest man can't be
elected in this country anymore.
925
00:48:28,739 --> 00:48:30,741
But I don't believe that.
926
00:48:31,492 --> 00:48:33,369
This is a good country.
927
00:48:34,620 --> 00:48:36,497
I believe I could win.
928
00:48:36,664 --> 00:48:39,543
Well, you got my vote.
I might even go register.
929
00:48:40,543 --> 00:48:42,796
Boy, I sure didn't know
you had dreams that big.
930
00:48:42,878 --> 00:48:43,925
Hmm.
931
00:48:44,004 --> 00:48:45,597
People really do
like you, though.
932
00:48:45,673 --> 00:48:46,799
They like you, too.
933
00:48:46,882 --> 00:48:48,008
Really? Sure.
934
00:48:48,843 --> 00:48:50,811
You ask anybody
in town about you.
935
00:48:50,970 --> 00:48:52,438
Say,
"How do you like Miss Mona?"
936
00:48:52,513 --> 00:48:57,189
They say, "Shoot, she's a fine woman.
Fine, friendly and nice."
937
00:48:57,393 --> 00:48:58,485
Huh.
938
00:48:58,686 --> 00:49:02,065
Well, I always just thought if you
see somebody without a smile,
939
00:49:02,398 --> 00:49:03,866
you give 'em yours.
940
00:49:03,941 --> 00:49:05,363
I like that.
941
00:49:06,527 --> 00:49:07,904
I like that.
942
00:49:08,988 --> 00:49:11,036
Think I'll use that
as my campaign slogan.
943
00:49:12,366 --> 00:49:15,370
If you see somebody without
a smile, give 'em yours.
944
00:49:15,870 --> 00:49:17,750
I'm gonna have that
printed up on a little card.
945
00:49:18,038 --> 00:49:21,042
Oh, you're kiddin' me.
You smart-ass.
946
00:49:21,709 --> 00:49:23,427
I had a dream once.
947
00:49:24,211 --> 00:49:25,337
Yeah?
948
00:49:25,546 --> 00:49:27,014
I'll tell you if
you won't laugh.
949
00:49:27,089 --> 00:49:28,762
Oh, I won't laugh.
950
00:49:28,841 --> 00:49:31,390
Well, I used to dream
of bein' a ballerina.
951
00:49:34,930 --> 00:49:36,978
Now, Ed Earl,
I ain't tellin' you nothin'.
952
00:49:37,057 --> 00:49:39,059
A ballerina?
953
00:49:39,643 --> 00:49:41,270
Yes, a ballerina!
954
00:49:41,395 --> 00:49:45,616
Well,
I think that's wonderful.
955
00:49:45,900 --> 00:49:48,380
And I think you still could be a
ballerina if you wanted to be.
956
00:49:48,486 --> 00:49:50,488
No, you could!
Oh, don't be ridiculous!
957
00:49:50,571 --> 00:49:53,620
Go into training right now.
Just start jumpin' up and down.
958
00:49:53,699 --> 00:49:55,918
Me? Jumpin' up and down?
I'd black both my eyes.
959
00:49:57,828 --> 00:49:59,956
I couldn't be a ballerina now.
I'm too top-heavy.
960
00:50:00,039 --> 00:50:01,639
I have a hard enough
time balancin' these
961
00:50:01,665 --> 00:50:03,633
things now,
without gettin' on my toes.
962
00:50:11,759 --> 00:50:13,386
You know something?
963
00:50:13,469 --> 00:50:14,641
What?
964
00:50:14,762 --> 00:50:18,107
You know that, uh, I don't
see anybody but you anymore.
965
00:50:19,767 --> 00:50:21,527
Course, now, you can't
say the same, can you?
966
00:50:25,773 --> 00:50:29,277
I haven't been to bed with another
woman besides you in three years.
967
00:50:30,402 --> 00:50:32,279
You didn't know that, did you?
968
00:50:33,864 --> 00:50:35,787
No, I didn't know that.
969
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:39,787
Nothin' better,
once you've had the best.
970
00:50:41,288 --> 00:50:42,710
Hey, I like that.
971
00:50:42,790 --> 00:50:43,962
Mmm. I thought you would.
972
00:50:44,041 --> 00:50:45,588
Reckon if I was to
run for the legislature,
973
00:50:45,668 --> 00:50:48,387
I could, uh,
put that on my card?
974
00:51:04,353 --> 00:51:08,699
Up next, Melvin P. Thorpe continues
his expose of the Chicken Ranch
975
00:51:08,774 --> 00:51:12,119
with a violent demonstration
in the Gilbert town square.
976
00:51:12,403 --> 00:51:14,405
Great God from Goldsboro!
977
00:51:22,705 --> 00:51:23,797
Oh. Yeah?
978
00:51:23,872 --> 00:51:26,500
Ed Earl,
you better turn on Channel 4.
979
00:51:27,167 --> 00:51:29,590
That Melvin P. Thorpe idiot's
got you on TV again.
980
00:51:30,212 --> 00:51:32,431
Well, I don't give a shit,
Rufus!
981
00:51:32,506 --> 00:51:35,009
It's all very well to
take that attitude, Ed Earl,
982
00:51:35,092 --> 00:51:36,172
but this is serious! Honey.
983
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,764
Put on the television.
Channel 4.
984
00:51:41,015 --> 00:51:43,985
That Melvin P. Thorpe is
shootin' off his mouth again.
985
00:51:44,059 --> 00:51:47,359
How could what he's sayin'
be so goddamn important?
986
00:51:47,479 --> 00:51:51,200
Calm down, Rufus! It can't
be as bad as all that.
987
00:51:52,234 --> 00:51:55,829
What happened to me as an
individual is not important.
988
00:51:56,405 --> 00:51:59,375
Is this the kind of man we want
runnin' our law enforcement?
989
00:51:59,825 --> 00:52:01,827
Is this the kind of
foul-mouthed example
990
00:52:01,910 --> 00:52:04,538
we wanna set for our young,
innocent children?
991
00:52:05,748 --> 00:52:07,045
Run the film.
992
00:52:07,124 --> 00:52:10,298
Number three.
No sawed-off little
993
00:52:10,377 --> 00:52:12,926
is gonna accuse me of takin' a
bribe and live to tell about it
994
00:52:13,005 --> 00:52:15,099
because I wear the badge
in this county!
995
00:52:15,174 --> 00:52:18,849
So you and you listen good!
You!
996
00:52:18,927 --> 00:52:20,679
If I ever see you or
any of those
997
00:52:20,763 --> 00:52:22,265
that work for you
in my town again,
998
00:52:22,348 --> 00:52:25,147
I'm gonna knock you so flat
you're gonna!
999
00:52:31,231 --> 00:52:34,735
Ed Earl, that man has
made a fool out of you.
1000
00:52:38,906 --> 00:52:40,749
I've had
calls from four preachers,
1001
00:52:40,824 --> 00:52:43,122
six deacons, and the presidents
of two garden clubs!
1002
00:52:43,202 --> 00:52:44,374
Thank you for callin'.
1003
00:52:44,453 --> 00:52:45,750
The phones have
been ringin' like that
1004
00:52:45,829 --> 00:52:48,252
all mornin' long.
Sheriff's office.
1005
00:52:48,332 --> 00:52:50,755
I don't know why I let people
talk me into serving as mayor
1006
00:52:50,834 --> 00:52:53,178
of this
incorporated sand trap anyway!
1007
00:52:53,629 --> 00:52:54,909
What in the heck is keepin' him?
1008
00:52:54,963 --> 00:52:56,010
He'll be along.
1009
00:52:56,882 --> 00:52:58,634
Well, he'd better!
1010
00:52:58,717 --> 00:53:00,970
My wife couldn't believe
what she saw last night.
1011
00:53:01,053 --> 00:53:03,181
They bleeped him out,
but she read his lips
1012
00:53:03,263 --> 00:53:05,106
on every "hell,"
"goddamn," and "shit."
1013
00:53:08,018 --> 00:53:11,739
There's some folks gettin' up a
petition to close the Chicken Ranch.
1014
00:53:12,106 --> 00:53:14,780
All we wanted to do
was keep it quiet.
1015
00:53:14,942 --> 00:53:17,161
Now, thanks to Ed Earl,
it's the hottest thing
1016
00:53:17,236 --> 00:53:19,204
on the air since The Gong Show.
1017
00:53:19,363 --> 00:53:21,582
I'll tell him you called.
Bye. Mornin', Sheriff.
1018
00:53:21,657 --> 00:53:23,455
Mornin', Rita.
Here's your calls.
1019
00:53:23,826 --> 00:53:25,419
Reckon you fellas are
waitin' to talk to me.
1020
00:53:25,494 --> 00:53:26,495
We sure are!
1021
00:53:26,578 --> 00:53:28,046
You don't know
the trouble you caused
1022
00:53:28,122 --> 00:53:29,169
on this Chicken Ranch business!
1023
00:53:29,248 --> 00:53:32,548
Dad-gum it, Ed Earl! If you
ain't a pluperfect fool!
1024
00:53:32,793 --> 00:53:35,046
You may be right.
I got over a dozen
1025
00:53:35,129 --> 00:53:36,802
messages here from
outraged citizens,
1026
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,429
tellin' me that we got a
whorehouse in Lanville County.
1027
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,053
Only been one here
for about 150 years.
1028
00:53:42,136 --> 00:53:45,140
Ed Earl, now, you can set up speed
traps to catch the tourists.
1029
00:53:45,431 --> 00:53:48,731
You can look the other way when the
wrong kid swipes a car to go joyriding.
1030
00:53:49,435 --> 00:53:51,608
Hell, you can even let Miss
Mona run her place out there!
1031
00:53:51,687 --> 00:53:55,533
But there's one thing you can't do and
that's broadcast gutter talk on TV.
1032
00:53:55,733 --> 00:53:57,406
I didn't know they
was takin' pictures.
1033
00:53:57,568 --> 00:53:59,912
What did you figure
the cameras were for?
1034
00:54:00,154 --> 00:54:03,408
Damn it, C.J.!
You pious pissant.
1035
00:54:03,949 --> 00:54:07,044
I don't have one-tenth the trouble
from Miss Mon♪s that I have from you
1036
00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:10,498
for one of your all-night stag parties
over at the Legionnaire Hall.
1037
00:54:10,998 --> 00:54:12,466
That ain't fair, dang it!
1038
00:54:12,541 --> 00:54:13,588
There's just one thing to do.
1039
00:54:13,667 --> 00:54:15,089
And that's close
the place down before
1040
00:54:15,169 --> 00:54:16,421
we all go to hell
in a hand basket.
1041
00:54:16,503 --> 00:54:20,224
Close it down! She was just fine as
long as she was bringin' in the money
1042
00:54:20,299 --> 00:54:21,642
and makin' civic contributions,
1043
00:54:21,717 --> 00:54:24,561
but the moment her luck ran sour,
you want to run out on her.
1044
00:54:25,012 --> 00:54:27,731
Run out on her like
rats from a burnin' barn!
1045
00:54:28,098 --> 00:54:31,853
That's just it, Ed Earl.
Who's gonna put out that fire?
1046
00:54:31,977 --> 00:54:33,570
Look, if you won't
close her down, at least
1047
00:54:33,645 --> 00:54:35,325
tell her to lay low
for a couple of months!
1048
00:54:35,397 --> 00:54:38,321
Yeah, just until the heat
wears off a little bit.
1049
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,323
Give it two months.
What's two months?
1050
00:54:41,069 --> 00:54:43,948
Nobody tells me how
to run my goddam job,
1051
00:54:44,031 --> 00:54:45,829
and nobody gives me advice!
1052
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:50,671
I'll do things my own way. I'm
gonna make up my own damn mind!
1053
00:54:51,663 --> 00:54:53,586
Two months. What's two months?
1054
00:54:53,665 --> 00:54:55,918
Shut down for two months!
1055
00:54:56,460 --> 00:54:59,760
That is a hell of a lot
to ask somebody, Ed Earl.
1056
00:55:00,047 --> 00:55:01,469
And that's a hell
of a lot of overhead
1057
00:55:01,548 --> 00:55:03,801
to pay out when
cash ain't comin' in.
1058
00:55:04,301 --> 00:55:05,974
What d'you think I
ought to tell my girls?
1059
00:55:06,053 --> 00:55:07,771
Well, maybe it won't
be two months.
1060
00:55:07,846 --> 00:55:09,314
The holidays are comin' up.
1061
00:55:09,389 --> 00:55:11,232
Maybe in a couple of weeks the
whole thing will blow over
1062
00:55:11,308 --> 00:55:12,605
and then you can let
your regular customers...
1063
00:55:12,684 --> 00:55:16,905
I warned you yesterday about losin'
your temper and carryin' on.
1064
00:55:17,147 --> 00:55:18,945
Last night you said
you was proud of me.
1065
00:55:19,107 --> 00:55:22,077
Last night I wasn't
on the 11:00 news!
1066
00:55:22,611 --> 00:55:25,785
Well, I didn't know that son of a bitch
was gonna make an idiot out of me.
1067
00:55:25,948 --> 00:55:28,042
I don't know anything about
that electronic bullshit!
1068
00:55:28,116 --> 00:55:29,959
How was I supposed to
handle that situation?
1069
00:55:30,452 --> 00:55:34,002
That's your job, Ed Earl. Ain't
that what they pay you for?
1070
00:55:34,164 --> 00:55:37,543
I know what my job is! Don't be
tellin' me what my goddamn job is!
1071
00:55:37,626 --> 00:55:40,095
I could close this place down
in a New York minute!
1072
00:55:40,712 --> 00:55:43,340
All I'm askin' for is for you
to give me a little cooperation
1073
00:55:43,423 --> 00:55:45,425
so I can get through
a difficult situation
1074
00:55:45,592 --> 00:55:47,344
with as little
trouble as possible!
1075
00:55:47,427 --> 00:55:50,556
Okay, okay, okay!
I'll shut it down.
1076
00:55:50,806 --> 00:55:51,807
You will?
1077
00:55:52,099 --> 00:55:54,272
What do you want,
a written contract?
1078
00:55:54,977 --> 00:55:56,069
You promise?
1079
00:55:56,436 --> 00:55:58,939
Ed Earl,
I am givin' you my word.
1080
00:56:03,694 --> 00:56:06,117
I'm sorry, Mona,
about the whole situation.
1081
00:56:06,989 --> 00:56:08,957
Don't feel sorry for me.
1082
00:56:09,825 --> 00:56:13,875
I started out poor, and I
worked my way up to outcast.
1083
00:56:17,082 --> 00:56:18,709
I know what I'm
askin' you to do is gonna
1084
00:56:18,792 --> 00:56:20,552
turn out to be
the best thing for both of us.
1085
00:56:21,169 --> 00:56:22,671
Just trust me.
1086
00:56:26,633 --> 00:56:28,510
You know what burns my ass?
1087
00:56:28,594 --> 00:56:29,720
What?
1088
00:56:29,803 --> 00:56:32,181
A flame about three feet high.
1089
00:56:33,599 --> 00:56:36,728
Of course I trust you, you big cowboy.
Ain't I always?
1090
00:56:36,810 --> 00:56:38,062
Mmm-hmm.
1091
00:56:38,395 --> 00:56:40,147
No need to stop now.
1092
00:56:42,232 --> 00:56:43,950
Now get out of here.
1093
00:56:44,318 --> 00:56:45,991
Everything's gonna
turn out just fine.
1094
00:56:46,278 --> 00:56:48,280
Don't you worry
about a thing, honey.
1095
00:56:48,572 --> 00:56:51,200
Everything's gonna turn out
slicker than cat shit
1096
00:56:51,325 --> 00:56:53,123
on a linoleum floor.
1097
00:56:59,041 --> 00:57:00,759
Well, if it ain't the celebrated
1098
00:57:00,834 --> 00:57:02,757
cussin' sheriff
of Lanville County.
1099
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:04,425
How are you, Sheriff?
1100
00:57:04,504 --> 00:57:06,222
I'm fine. How are you, Porky?
1101
00:57:06,298 --> 00:57:10,269
Oh, Sheriff! I been real good all week.
I've lost six pounds.
1102
00:57:10,344 --> 00:57:13,974
Oh, yeah? Well, don't take
nothin' off them cheeks.
1103
00:57:14,056 --> 00:57:15,399
Oh, go on.
1104
00:57:17,684 --> 00:57:18,936
Whoa!
1105
00:57:20,145 --> 00:57:22,614
Well, Jewel,
I just promised the sheriff
1106
00:57:22,689 --> 00:57:24,487
that we're gonna shut
down for two months.
1107
00:57:25,317 --> 00:57:27,445
What? How can you promise that?
1108
00:57:27,861 --> 00:57:30,364
What about the football game
celebration tomorrow night?
1109
00:57:31,448 --> 00:57:33,746
I forgot all about that.
1110
00:57:33,867 --> 00:57:37,087
It's the Thanksgiving game, Miss Mona.
And that's real special.
1111
00:57:37,204 --> 00:57:38,444
Well I know it's special, Jewel!
1112
00:57:38,497 --> 00:57:39,623
But I don't know what to do now.
1113
00:57:39,706 --> 00:57:41,208
I did promise.
1114
00:57:41,291 --> 00:57:43,168
You think if we just close the
doors to the regular customers,
1115
00:57:43,251 --> 00:57:45,800
just went on with the party as
planned, that'd be all right?
1116
00:57:46,046 --> 00:57:50,222
I'm sure it will, honey. That party
is a bigger tradition than the game.
1117
00:57:58,225 --> 00:58:01,479
65,000-plus on hand
here at Kyle Field,
1118
00:58:01,561 --> 00:58:04,064
and we have seen
an amazing ball game.
1119
00:58:04,189 --> 00:58:07,819
Texas A&M heavily favored,
but we're tied 12-12.
1120
00:58:07,901 --> 00:58:09,744
Aggies have the ball,
second down at eight.
1121
00:58:09,820 --> 00:58:11,618
Time is winding down.
1122
00:58:12,990 --> 00:58:14,833
They try the
middle of the Texas defense,
1123
00:58:14,908 --> 00:58:17,206
and again, the Longhorns'
break is stopped.
1124
00:58:17,285 --> 00:58:18,878
This University
of Texas defense...
1125
00:58:18,954 --> 00:58:20,080
Whoo!
1126
00:58:21,707 --> 00:58:22,799
Whoo!
1127
00:58:25,085 --> 00:58:26,678
We string up the white first
1128
00:58:26,753 --> 00:58:29,757
and after we see who wins, we put
up the orange or the maroon.
1129
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,592
Yes, m♪am.
1130
00:58:32,968 --> 00:58:35,096
I can't stand it
if them Aggies win.
1131
00:58:35,178 --> 00:58:36,350
What do you mean?
1132
00:58:36,430 --> 00:58:39,775
They're such animals. Always
yellin' and jumpin' about
1133
00:58:39,850 --> 00:58:41,352
and sayin' "yee-haw!"
1134
00:58:41,435 --> 00:58:43,028
If they have to go for
all the marbles,
1135
00:58:43,103 --> 00:58:45,276
they will have to throw to
the end zone right now.
1136
00:58:45,897 --> 00:58:48,946
Time running out. Miller rolls
to the right. Pass! Touchdown!
1137
00:58:51,111 --> 00:58:52,203
Yeah!
1138
00:58:52,446 --> 00:58:54,619
Hell! That calls for a drink.
1139
00:58:55,157 --> 00:58:56,329
Talk about the part
1140
00:58:56,408 --> 00:58:58,410
that emotion plays
in a game like this!
1141
00:58:58,702 --> 00:59:00,182
Don't let your
mother see you do that.
1142
00:59:00,787 --> 00:59:02,084
Well, who won?
1143
00:59:02,164 --> 00:59:03,211
The Aggies.
1144
00:59:03,290 --> 00:59:04,587
Aw, Shit.
1145
00:59:04,791 --> 00:59:06,964
Yee-haw.
1146
00:59:07,294 --> 00:59:10,173
Yee-haw!
1147
00:59:10,297 --> 00:59:12,425
Yee-haw!
1148
00:59:12,507 --> 00:59:13,884
Hey, boys!
1149
00:59:16,386 --> 00:59:18,434
All right! Hey, boys!
1150
00:59:19,681 --> 00:59:23,811
Boys, boys!
That was the greatest victory
1151
00:59:23,894 --> 00:59:26,147
since General Eisenhower won!
1152
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,154
Senator, you ain't
forgot you was gonna
1153
00:59:29,232 --> 00:59:31,360
take us to
the Chicken Ranch, did ya?
1154
00:59:31,443 --> 00:59:33,070
Yeah! How about it?
1155
00:59:33,153 --> 00:59:35,531
I always keep my
campaign promises, hmm?
1156
00:59:36,656 --> 00:59:39,330
Yes, sir. The Chicken Ranch
is a fine institution,
1157
00:59:39,409 --> 00:59:41,582
and I'm proud to
have it in my district.
1158
00:59:41,661 --> 00:59:44,335
And to hell with what
Melvin P. Thorpe says!
1159
00:59:46,083 --> 00:59:49,007

You want a drink?

Aw, no, thank you. That stuff
always tears up my stomach.

towards the Chicken Ranch.

01:10:49,245 --> 01:10:51,168
Miss Mona promised me to close
the place down for two months.
1247
01:10:51,289 --> 01:10:54,259
Ah! Well, she didn't. I was out
there earlier this evenin'.

You gave me your
word and I took it!
1298
01:15:43,164 --> 01:15:44,211
Now, I'm the law!
1299
01:15:44,290 --> 01:15:46,042
The law!
You wanna talk about the law!
1300
01:15:46,125 --> 01:15:48,503
A bunch of crazies break into
my house tonight,
1301
01:15:48,669 --> 01:15:51,172
comin' in here, takin'
pictures, invadin' my privacy,
1302
01:15:51,255 --> 01:15:53,633
and you wanna know what
the law's gonna do about that?
1303
01:15:53,716 --> 01:15:54,968
I can tell you. Nothin'!
1304
01:15:55,051 --> 01:15:56,769
They'd have no reason
to do nothin'
1305
01:15:56,844 --> 01:15:58,391
if you'd done what you
said you were gonna do!
1306
01:15:58,471 --> 01:16:00,769
I trusted you. That's what hurt.
I trusted you!
1307
01:16:00,848 --> 01:16:04,898
Don't you talk to me about trust!
I trusted you to protect me!
1308
01:16:04,977 --> 01:16:07,696
I made a mistake tonight, okay?
1309
01:16:08,105 --> 01:16:11,484
If that's your idea of an apology,
it ain't worth armadillo crap.
1310
01:16:11,567 --> 01:16:12,989
Well, I ain't apologizin'!
1311
01:16:13,069 --> 01:16:15,413
I'm a business woman
payin' out double taxes!
1312
01:16:15,488 --> 01:16:18,162
I expect a little
protection for my money!
1313
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,368
Where were you tonight? I
couldn't get you on the phone...
1314
01:16:20,451 --> 01:16:22,124
I was home in bed,
because you gave me
1315
01:16:22,203 --> 01:16:23,705
your word you were closin' down.
1316
01:16:23,829 --> 01:16:25,752
Well, if Sheriff Jack
Roy Wallace was here,
1317
01:16:25,831 --> 01:16:27,111
none of this
would have happened.
1318
01:16:27,166 --> 01:16:28,668
Sheriff Jack Roy
Wallace couldn't

You can't handle the job!

Whoo! Listen at him cuss and shout.
Just like on TV!

You're just a kid
playin' at bein' a cowboy.
1323
01:16:40,805 --> 01:16:43,024
You ain't never gonna grow up!
1324
01:16:43,265 --> 01:16:45,359
You use me as your mistress.
1325
01:16:45,434 --> 01:16:48,483
You use that damn Dulcie Mae
as your in-town wife.
1326
01:16:48,562 --> 01:16:50,985
And you even use
that little boy of hers
1327
01:16:51,065 --> 01:16:52,942
so you can play weekend daddy!
1328
01:16:53,025 --> 01:16:54,117
Leave that boy out of it!
1329
01:16:54,193 --> 01:16:55,490
You're playin', Ed Earl.
1330
01:16:55,569 --> 01:16:58,823
You're just a big, overgrown
kid playin' at bein' a man!
1331
01:16:59,198 --> 01:17:03,203
I don't have to listen to this shit.
Damn it! I'm the law.
1332
01:17:03,285 --> 01:17:06,585
If I choose to, I'll close this
place down till hell freezes over.
1333
01:17:06,872 --> 01:17:10,797
Don't you threaten me. I'm tellin'
the truth, and you know it!
1334
01:17:11,335 --> 01:17:14,965
And all of your big dreams
of goin' to the legislature.
1335
01:17:15,548 --> 01:17:17,346
That's all they are.
They're just dreams,
1336
01:17:17,758 --> 01:17:20,637
'cause you ain't never gonna be
no more than you are right now.
1337

A chicken-shit sheriff
in a chicken-shit town.
1338
01:17:26,809 --> 01:17:28,277
You may be right.
1339
01:17:28,352 --> 01:17:30,192
It's a hell of a lot
better than bein' a whore.
1340
01:18:33,626 --> 01:18:37,301
Legalized prostitution, pro
or con, is in the news today.
1341
01:18:37,379 --> 01:18:41,179
For a report, here is Jeff
Gerald in Gilbert, Texas.
1342
01:18:42,468 --> 01:18:45,312
The Chicken Ranch, the legendary,
long-running bawdy house,
1343
01:18:45,387 --> 01:18:47,890
is showing little activity
after the disclosure yesterday
1344
01:18:47,973 --> 01:18:49,350
of the Thanksgiving night raid.
1345
01:18:49,808 --> 01:18:50,809
Get away!
1346
01:18:50,893 --> 01:18:52,236
The deputy at the front
gate keeps away onlookers
1347
01:18:52,311 --> 01:18:53,312
and potential customers,
1348
01:18:53,562 --> 01:18:55,242
while up at the house,
the doors are closed
1349
01:18:55,272 --> 01:18:56,865
and the principals
are not talking.
1350
01:18:58,275 --> 01:19:00,949
The sheriff of Gilbert, Ed
Earl Dodd, refused interviews,
1351
01:19:01,028 --> 01:19:03,247
while in Houston, the man
who launched the campaign,
1352
01:19:03,322 --> 01:19:05,165
consumer advocate Melvin P.
Thorpe,
1353
01:19:05,241 --> 01:19:06,761
held a press
conference this afternoon.
1354
01:19:07,159 --> 01:19:09,582
I have a report here that
says that the Chicken Ranch
1355
01:19:09,662 --> 01:19:13,712
is involved with and under the
influence of organized crime.
1356
01:19:13,999 --> 01:19:17,048
I myself am gonna take
this report to Austin
1357
01:19:17,127 --> 01:19:18,845
in the hopes that
the Governor himself
1358
01:19:19,046 --> 01:19:20,798
will come out of
his long silence
1359
01:19:20,923 --> 01:19:23,392
on this issue
and uphold the law.
1360
01:19:24,551 --> 01:19:26,269
And... Thank you.
Thank you very much.
1361
01:19:27,137 --> 01:19:29,105
GERALD". At the capitol today,
the Governor made no statement,
1362
01:19:29,181 --> 01:19:30,728
but Senator Charles Wingwood,
1363
01:19:30,849 --> 01:19:32,929
who was a principal figure
in the Watchdog news raid,
1364
01:19:33,143 --> 01:19:35,521
also held a press conference
explaining his involvement.
1365
01:19:36,021 --> 01:19:39,616
I have no independent recollection
of going to the Chicken Ranch.
1366
01:19:39,692 --> 01:19:42,115
And I can only say,
as the most dedicated
1367
01:19:42,194 --> 01:19:44,572
anticommunist in
the state legislature,
1368
01:19:44,655 --> 01:19:46,202
that I must have been drugged
1369
01:19:46,282 --> 01:19:48,626
by communists or
communist sympathizers
1370
01:19:48,701 --> 01:19:52,547
and placed there to harm
my reputation and good name.
1371
01:19:52,788 --> 01:19:55,211
Reaction across
the state is split 50-50.
1372
01:19:55,291 --> 01:19:56,463
But here in the town of Gilbert,
1373
01:19:56,542 --> 01:19:58,215
the Chicken Ranch
has many supporters.
1374
01:19:58,711 --> 01:20:01,214
I ain't never seen anything
bad come out of there yet,
1375
01:20:01,297 --> 01:20:03,049
and I've lived here all my life.
1376
01:20:03,507 --> 01:20:06,477
Why, they attract a lot of
business to the community.
1377
01:20:06,552 --> 01:20:09,431
They pay their taxes.
Just like you and me!
1378
01:20:10,014 --> 01:20:13,393
No one. No one was ever
forced to go up there.
1379
01:20:13,726 --> 01:20:17,105
My Frank, when he was alive, used
to go up there every Saturday.
1380
01:20:17,187 --> 01:20:21,158
I took it as a blessin'. Of course,
things were different then.
1381
01:20:21,483 --> 01:20:25,158
Nowadays women enjoy doin'
that sort of thing themselves.
1382
01:20:25,738 --> 01:20:27,866
At least, so I've been told.
1383
01:20:28,157 --> 01:20:31,161
The Chicken Ranch?
I think it's a good idea.
1384
01:20:31,243 --> 01:20:32,540
See, you take a lot of
young boys
1385
01:20:32,619 --> 01:20:34,462
and they're gonna be out
there lookin' for women.
1386
01:20:34,538 --> 01:20:36,415
If they can't find 'em,
they'll rape 'em.
1387
01:20:36,749 --> 01:20:39,878
And if they don't do that, they'll
run to other women and get diseases!
1388
01:20:40,252 --> 01:20:41,845
Those girls went to doctors.
1389
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:45,265
Although petitions are being
circulated to save the Chicken Ranch,
1390
01:20:45,341 --> 01:20:48,185
already this bumper sticker is
beginning to appear around the state.
1391
01:20:49,011 --> 01:20:51,105
And so, as feminists
line up behind the bill
1392
01:20:51,180 --> 01:20:52,853
for the decriminalization
of prostitution
1393
01:20:52,931 --> 01:20:56,185
already in the legislature, while
traditionalists and fundamentalists
1394
01:20:56,268 --> 01:20:58,612
lobby for its defeat, the
fate of the Chicken Ranch
1395
01:20:58,687 --> 01:20:59,813
rests with the Governor,
1396
01:20:59,897 --> 01:21:01,365
who today, again,
was unavailable for comment.
1397
01:21:02,775 --> 01:21:04,777
Jeff Gerald,
ABC News, Gilbert, Texas.
1398
01:21:05,110 --> 01:21:07,112
Thank you, Jeff.
If there are further...
1399
01:21:09,156 --> 01:21:11,250
Well, I hate admitting
I was wrong, Miss Mona.
1400
01:21:11,742 --> 01:21:14,495
But with television broadcasting
this from hell to breakfast,
1401
01:21:14,787 --> 01:21:17,961
we should've done what the sheriff
said and kept this place closed.
1402
01:21:18,957 --> 01:21:22,427
It was my fault, Jewel.
It was my decision.
1403
01:21:22,544 --> 01:21:24,546
He ain't gonna be able to
stop it this time, is he?
1404
01:21:25,506 --> 01:21:29,136
No. He'd like to,
but he's out of his league.
1405
01:21:29,218 --> 01:21:30,686
He don't know how to fight 'em.
1406
01:21:31,470 --> 01:21:34,974
He's just a good old boy that
ain't never gonna grow up.
1407
01:21:35,682 --> 01:21:37,810
Honey, we see
everything in this profession.
1408
01:21:38,227 --> 01:21:41,948
But one thing I ain't never seen,
man nor woman, is a grown-up.
1409
01:21:42,022 --> 01:21:45,117
Don't be too hard on him.
He loves you.
1410
01:21:48,987 --> 01:21:50,660
Well, he ain't never said it.
1411
01:21:52,199 --> 01:21:54,418
Some men can't say the words,
honey.
1412
01:21:55,244 --> 01:21:57,372
But that don't mean they
don't feel it in their heart.
1413
01:21:59,206 --> 01:22:01,880
Well, it's just as
well anyhow, Jewel.
1414
01:22:02,584 --> 01:22:05,178
I set my course a long time ago
1415
01:22:06,004 --> 01:22:08,177
and I can't go changin' now.
1416
01:22:13,429 --> 01:22:14,869
Well,
I don't know what to do.
1417
01:22:15,055 --> 01:22:18,525
Seems like folks got nothin' else to
talk about but this Chicken Ranch mess.
1418
01:22:18,725 --> 01:22:21,604
Like a broken record. Chicken Ranch,
Chicken Ranch, Chicken Ranch!
1419
01:22:21,687 --> 01:22:25,282
And all of this bad publicity's
flat ruinin' business.
1420
01:22:25,357 --> 01:22:26,557
I haven't sold a car in a week.
1421
01:22:26,608 --> 01:22:28,485
It's ruinin' the town.
1422
01:22:28,902 --> 01:22:32,076
No one's blamin' you, Ed Earl.
It ain't your fault.
1423
01:22:32,239 --> 01:22:34,617
But we can't just sit around
here waitin' to grow tits!
1424
01:22:34,700 --> 01:22:38,295
Now, now, the way I see it, the
Chicken Ranch served a purpose once.
1425
01:22:38,370 --> 01:22:40,372
But now everything's openin' up.
1426
01:22:40,539 --> 01:22:44,214
Do you know we are in the middle
of a worldwide sexual revolution?
1427
01:22:44,334 --> 01:22:47,338
Why, Miss Mon♪s ain't obscene.
It's just obsolete.
1428
01:22:47,421 --> 01:22:50,641
She ain't got a handful
of supporters left, Ed Earl.
1429
01:22:50,716 --> 01:22:53,219
All this publicity's
makin' folks think twice
1430
01:22:53,302 --> 01:22:55,680
about signin' that
petition to keep her open!
1431
01:22:55,888 --> 01:22:58,141
Why the hell can't
that station in Houston
1432
01:22:58,223 --> 01:23:00,817
turn its cameras to the
cesspool in their own backyard?
1433
01:23:00,893 --> 01:23:03,897
And how about Austin? Why, two
blocks from the state capitol,
1434
01:23:03,979 --> 01:23:05,071
you can have
anything done to you
1435
01:23:05,147 --> 01:23:07,400
for money that you
can get in Tangier!
1436
01:23:07,608 --> 01:23:09,986
Well, there's naked massages,
there's tongue baths,
1437
01:23:10,068 --> 01:23:12,662
there's somebody ticklin'
your ass with a feather.
1438
01:23:12,738 --> 01:23:16,788
If you know that for a fact,
Mr. Newspaper Editor,
1439
01:23:16,867 --> 01:23:18,790
it's your duty to expose it!
1440
01:23:18,869 --> 01:23:20,337
Well, now, you see here, C.J.!
1441
01:23:20,412 --> 01:23:21,504
I don't give a damn
1442
01:23:21,580 --> 01:23:24,003
if folks want their ass
tickled with a feather!
1443
01:23:24,082 --> 01:23:27,006
I kind of like to think that
that's what heaven is all about.
1444
01:23:30,047 --> 01:23:33,096
Boys, I got myself a pretty
good bullshit detector.
1445
01:23:34,092 --> 01:23:36,140
And I can tell when
somebody's peein' on my boots
1446
01:23:36,220 --> 01:23:37,813
and tellin' me it's a rainstorm.
1447
01:23:38,805 --> 01:23:42,025
Now, this thing's gotten way out of hand.
I don't know how.
1448
01:23:42,684 --> 01:23:44,524
But I figure there's
only one thing left to do.
1449
01:23:44,811 --> 01:23:46,108
Close it down!
1450
01:23:46,605 --> 01:23:49,279
No. I'm goin' to Austin.
1451
01:23:49,858 --> 01:23:53,783
See the Governor, tell him Miss
Mon♪s side of the situation.
1452
01:23:54,780 --> 01:23:57,249
He sure as hell ain't gonna hear
about it from anybody in this room.
1453
01:23:57,324 --> 01:23:59,076
You can't go up
and see the Governor!
1454
01:23:59,159 --> 01:24:00,957
He don't see anybody!
1455
01:24:01,119 --> 01:24:02,587
He'll see me.
1456
01:24:15,842 --> 01:24:17,810
Feel like
the country dog in the city.
1457
01:24:18,095 --> 01:24:19,563
If I stand still, they screw me.
1458
01:24:19,638 --> 01:24:21,015
If I run,
they bite me in the ass.
1459
01:24:23,183 --> 01:24:24,560
I... I wish
1460
01:24:25,644 --> 01:24:27,112
there was somethin' I could do.
1461
01:24:28,480 --> 01:24:29,823
Thank you.
1462
01:24:32,818 --> 01:24:34,365
They want me to close her down,
1463
01:24:35,195 --> 01:24:36,993
run her out of town.
1464
01:24:40,284 --> 01:24:43,037
How can I ask her to leave when
all I want her to do is stay?
1465
01:25:04,641 --> 01:25:08,316
Ladies and gentlemen, His
Excellency, the Governor of Texas.
1466
01:25:12,816 --> 01:25:14,534
My friends, I want to thank you
1467
01:25:14,610 --> 01:25:17,454
for that sincere and
heart-warming ovation.
1468
01:25:17,529 --> 01:25:18,621
No questions, please.
1469
01:25:19,906 --> 01:25:22,705
Governor, what do you think of
the crisis in the Middle East?
1470
01:25:22,993 --> 01:25:24,745
I was sayin' just this
morning at the weekly
1471
01:25:24,828 --> 01:25:26,546
prayer breakfast in
this historic capitol
1472
01:25:27,289 --> 01:25:29,291
that it behooves both
the Jews and the Arabs
1473
01:25:29,708 --> 01:25:31,802
to settle their differences
in a Christian manner.
1474

waiting outside to see you.
1551
01:30:05,775 --> 01:30:09,154
He's been here since early this
morning and is very insistent.
1552
01:30:09,654 --> 01:30:11,622
Swearin' Sheriff Dodd?
The one on TV?
1553
01:30:12,157 --> 01:30:15,331
No, no, no, no... Hi, Sheriff!
1554
01:30:16,202 --> 01:30:18,250
Just talkin' about you.
How are ya?
1555
01:30:18,747 --> 01:30:22,217
Governor. I know I'm way out of
line comin' up here like this,
1556
01:30:22,459 --> 01:30:23,927
but before you closed
down the Chicken Ranch,
1557
01:30:24,002 --> 01:30:25,003
I wanted you
to know all the facts.
1558
01:30:25,045 --> 01:30:26,968
But I haven't made that
decision yet! Good.
1559
01:30:27,047 --> 01:30:28,139
My aides are
still workin' on that.
1560
01:30:28,214 --> 01:30:30,057
Well, the Chicken...
1561
01:30:30,133 --> 01:30:32,852
The Chicken Ranch has been in my
county since before I was born.
1562
01:30:33,178 --> 01:30:37,524
Its doors have been open to soldiers
and presidents and farmers.
1563
01:30:38,350 --> 01:30:41,445
Even governors who can remember
what a great institution it is.
1564
01:30:43,313 --> 01:30:44,735
No need to bring
that up, Sheriff.
1565
01:30:44,814 --> 01:30:45,815
I ain't
threatenin' you, Governor.
1566
01:30:45,899 --> 01:30:47,321
Whatever you say, I'm gonna do.
1567
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:48,822
But think of
the people out there.
1568
01:30:48,944 --> 01:30:50,617
I've known Miss
Mona for 12 years.
1569
01:30:50,695 --> 01:30:52,322
You're never gonna
meet a finer woman.
1570
01:30:52,405 --> 01:30:55,204
She never refuses a charity.
The whole town likes her.
1571
01:30:55,742 --> 01:30:59,667
Hospital fund, new swimmin'
pool, even the Little Leaguers.
1572
01:30:59,746 --> 01:31:02,586
She bought 'em uniforms so they wouldn't
have to play in their overalls.
1573
01:31:03,291 --> 01:31:04,383
Well.
1574
01:31:06,461 --> 01:31:09,806
I wasn't aware of
her civic generosity.
1575
01:31:11,841 --> 01:31:12,967
But the law is the law!
1576
01:31:13,051 --> 01:31:14,553
Sometimes it's gotta be changed.
1577
01:31:14,886 --> 01:31:16,388
I been fightin'
crime all my life,
1578
01:31:16,471 --> 01:31:18,565
but let's not confuse crime
with committin' a sin.
1579
01:31:18,890 --> 01:31:20,563
You can't legislate morality.
1580
01:31:20,642 --> 01:31:23,191
Those girls out there have never
caused any trouble to anybody.
1581
01:31:23,269 --> 01:31:26,364
They're healthy, taxpayin',
law-abidin' citizens
1582
01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:27,861
who supply
a demand and provide an
1583
01:31:27,941 --> 01:31:29,443
economic asset to the community.
1584
01:31:30,443 --> 01:31:32,866
Whew. Ed Earl.
1585
01:31:33,655 --> 01:31:38,126
You ever think about runnin' for office?
Huh? I swear.
1586
01:31:38,243 --> 01:31:40,245
You make that whorehouse
sound like a
1587
01:31:40,328 --> 01:31:41,830
damn nonprofit
recreational facility.
1588
01:31:43,039 --> 01:31:46,043
Governor, if
the citizens who elected me
1589
01:31:46,126 --> 01:31:48,174
found it necessary
for me to close it down,
1590
01:31:48,253 --> 01:31:49,926
I would close it down.
1591
01:31:50,005 --> 01:31:54,351
If Miss Mona and the girls that work
for her were jeopardizin' the health,
1592
01:31:54,426 --> 01:31:57,680
wealth or moral scruples of the
community, I would close it down.
1593
01:31:58,096 --> 01:32:00,098
If the place was just
a piddlin' nuisance,
1594
01:32:00,432 --> 01:32:03,527
an eyesore, a fire hazard,
I would close it down!
1595
01:32:03,601 --> 01:32:04,601
But there's nothin'.
1596
01:32:04,644 --> 01:32:07,397
No reason except
the goddam cries
1597
01:32:07,480 --> 01:32:10,233
of a muckrakin'
sensationalist on television.
1598
01:32:11,026 --> 01:32:13,279
Here they are, Governor.
What you've been waitin' for.
1599
01:32:16,448 --> 01:32:18,416
Aha. I'm sorry, Ed Earl.
1600
01:32:18,491 --> 01:32:21,995
But the Chicken Ranch loses,
42 to 37, with 21 % undecided.
1601
01:32:22,412 --> 01:32:23,538
What is that?
1602
01:32:23,621 --> 01:32:26,044
The polls. You can't expect
me to go against the polls.
1603
01:32:26,124 --> 01:32:27,216
This is what the people want.
1604
01:32:27,292 --> 01:32:29,420
Melvin still outside? Maybe I can
catch the television cameras
1605
01:32:29,502 --> 01:32:31,379
before they leave.
Good seein' ya.
1606
01:32:31,671 --> 01:32:33,093
But it's not
what my people want.
1607
01:32:34,466 --> 01:32:36,969
Shaw's over, Sheriff.
Close it down!
1608

So the girls left
1714
01:41:21,659 --> 01:41:24,333
and it was a sorry
day for Lanville County.
1715
01:41:27,498 --> 01:41:29,000
It's kinda like
the end of an era.
1716
01:41:29,917 --> 01:41:32,011
You know, like when you
graduate from high school?
1717
01:41:33,087 --> 01:41:35,510
Things are just
never the same again.
1718
01:41:37,216 --> 01:41:39,969
Ed Earl's up in
the state legislature now,
1719
01:41:40,678 --> 01:41:42,680
and I became the Sheriff.
1720
01:41:50,104 --> 01:41:52,224
I suppose you're wonderin'
what happened to Miss Mona.
1721
01:41:52,607 --> 01:41:55,907
Well, Ed Earl drove up
there on her last day.
1722
01:42:12,251 --> 01:42:13,628
Hey, Sheriff.
1723
01:42:13,711 --> 01:42:14,883
Good morning, Jewel.
1724
01:42:14,962 --> 01:42:18,557
I'm so pleased to see ya. I
knew you couldn't let me leave
1725
01:42:18,633 --> 01:42:21,261
without a sweet
goodbye for your old Porky.
1726
01:42:24,180 --> 01:42:25,397
Goodbye, Jewel.
1727
01:42:25,473 --> 01:42:26,565
Goodbye, Sheriff.
1728
01:42:26,641 --> 01:42:29,144
I sure hope you come up north
to visit Miss Mona and me.
1729
01:42:29,894 --> 01:42:31,146
Where is she?
1730
01:42:31,228 --> 01:42:32,445
Inside.
1731
01:42:34,315 --> 01:42:35,942
See you're takin'
the old juke with you.
1732
01:42:36,108 --> 01:42:40,158
You know I couldn't
leave without my bell and my box.
1733
01:43:24,448 --> 01:43:25,700
Ed Earl?
1734
01:43:28,953 --> 01:43:30,751
This old place looks
kinda funny, don't it?
1735
01:43:31,997 --> 01:43:34,546
Ben Sawtuck bought all
my furniture and fixtures
1736
01:43:34,625 --> 01:43:37,094
and Langston downtown
is gonna sell the rest.
1737
01:43:42,258 --> 01:43:43,858
Mona, there's
something I wanna tell you.
1738
01:43:44,135 --> 01:43:45,808
I want you to
thank your boys for me.
1739
01:43:46,137 --> 01:43:47,480
Those sightseers and
reporters would have
1740
01:43:47,555 --> 01:43:48,852
got all out of
hand if it hadn't been
1741
01:43:48,931 --> 01:43:50,558
for your deputies
down at the gate.
1742
01:43:52,852 --> 01:43:54,274
Mona,
you know me better than that.
1743
01:43:54,353 --> 01:43:56,113
Ed Earl, I believe
the thing for you to do is
1744
01:43:56,147 --> 01:43:57,865
just to put this
whole thing behind you
1745
01:43:57,940 --> 01:43:59,942
just as quick as you can.
1746
01:44:00,025 --> 01:44:03,404
I've made a little money, I've laughed
some, I've danced to the music.
1747
01:44:03,487 --> 01:44:05,581
It's just time to pay
the fiddler, that's all.
1748
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:10,787
Mona, we've been
together a long time.
1749
01:44:12,329 --> 01:44:14,627
Sometimes I think you know me
better than I know myself.
1750
01:44:17,293 --> 01:44:19,091
So you know how hard
this is for me to say.
1751
01:44:21,672 --> 01:44:23,015
I love you.
1752
01:44:25,843 --> 01:44:27,516
Will you marry me?
1753
01:44:27,928 --> 01:44:31,603
Oh, Ed Earl, I've loved you
since I was 16-years-old.
1754
01:44:32,141 --> 01:44:34,690
But I've thought about
this for a long time.
1755
01:44:35,102 --> 01:44:36,820
And as much as I'd
love for it to work,
1756
01:44:37,563 --> 01:44:40,362
I know deep down in my heart
it ain't never gonna be.
1757
01:44:41,066 --> 01:44:42,784
Didn't you hear what I said?
1758
01:44:43,027 --> 01:44:44,119
I did, darlin'.
1759
01:44:44,195 --> 01:44:46,698
But it's gonna
always be just like it is.
1760
01:44:47,490 --> 01:44:50,243
There just ain't no way
in this world it can work.
1761
01:44:51,076 --> 01:44:52,953
We could make it work.
1762
01:44:53,204 --> 01:44:54,706
