FRED". Right from the beginning,
21
00:01:55,198 --> 00:01:57,166
the little house
was kinda special,
22
00:01:57,242 --> 00:01:59,461
like a home away from home.
23
00:01:59,536 --> 00:02:01,630
Miss Wulla Jean
put a pianola in the
24
00:02:01,705 --> 00:02:04,174
parlor to sorta
help break the ice.
25
00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:06,343
A feller could
ask a girl to dance,
26
00:02:06,418 --> 00:02:09,262
or if he held back a little,
she'd ask him.
27
00:02:09,338 --> 00:02:12,342
And pretty soon they'd
get a little business goin'.
28
00:02:12,424 --> 00:02:14,051
Two dollars' worth.
29
00:02:14,635 --> 00:02:16,012
Yah-hoo!
30
00:02:16,845 --> 00:02:18,688
FRED: It wasn't long
before the place became
31
00:02:18,764 --> 00:02:22,189
one of the better known pleasure
palaces in all of Texas.
32
00:02:22,267 --> 00:02:25,817
So much so that the fellers who
visited during World War I
33
00:02:25,896 --> 00:02:28,524
sent their sons
back in World War ll.
34
00:02:29,316 --> 00:02:32,365
The hospitality and
friendliness never changed,
35
00:02:32,444 --> 00:02:35,197
and neither did Miss Wulla
Jean's strict set of rules.
36
00:02:35,614 --> 00:02:37,833
She liked her ladies,
as she called 'em,
37
00:02:38,033 --> 00:02:40,456
to treat her
customers real good,
38
00:02:40,619 --> 00:02:43,042
but never in an unladylike way.
39
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:47,801
And she insisted that each girl
40
00:02:47,876 --> 00:02:50,129
check her gentleman for the clap
41
00:02:50,212 --> 00:02:53,261
and wash him off with
soap and warm water.
42
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:56,685
Some of the fellers claimed
that that was the best part!
43
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,933
Ooh-ee!
44
00:03:02,099 --> 00:03:04,227
FRED: It was only during
the Hoover depression
45
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:06,778
that the little house
had a spell of tough times.
46
00:03:07,562 --> 00:03:10,406
Miss Wulla Jean put in a
jukebox to spark up business.
47
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:14,612
But it wasn't always easy in them
days to come up with hard cash.

00:03:26,665 --> 00:03:29,464
FRED: So fora while,
as the story goes,
52
00:03:29,543 --> 00:03:32,467
the girls began
accepting poultry in trade.
53
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:34,719
One bird, one lay.
54
00:03:34,798 --> 00:03:37,176

the place got its name.

you knew at an early age they was
sellin' somethin' out there,

00:06:20,463 --> 00:06:23,057
while the people here in

That is,
until about seven years ago.

That was right after I had
99
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:39,741
lost the fried chicken
franchise here in town,
100
00:06:39,816 --> 00:06:41,409

been Sheriff ever

Roy Wallace retired.

Course,
he sure did know his job,
105
00:06:53,204 --> 00:06:55,252
and he was a big
influence on me,
106
00:06:55,540 --> 00:06:57,668
taught me everything I know.
107
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:00,846
He used to like to
run a quiet town,
108
00:07:01,171 --> 00:07:03,390
with plenty of time
off for socializin'
109
00:07:03,465 --> 00:07:05,934
and coffee over at

00:07:20,899 --> 00:07:24,119
He just walked over to that
jackass and laid down the law.
117
00:07:25,362 --> 00:07:28,206
You see, Ed Earl always
believed in talkin' first.

Cool reasonin', he used to tell
me, could solve any problem.

FRED". Well, everything was goin'
along fine, just like always,
231
00:12:59,570 --> 00:13:02,198
until that famous
college football celebration.
232

when the trouble started.

of the Texas Aggies-Texas U
football game at Thanksgiving,
235
00:13:12,375 --> 00:13:14,924
they were treated to a night
out at the Chicken Ranch
236
00:13:15,295 --> 00:13:17,423
by their alumni association.
237
00:13:17,672 --> 00:13:19,970

the real trouble started
238
00:13:20,049 --> 00:13:21,676

well repaid when they

I'm sorry the sheriff
wasn't here to thank you.

00:14:12,727 --> 00:14:15,230
He drove over to Meritsville.
He'll be gone all afternoon.

Well, one of these nights when you
ain't on duty, you drop in out there.

274
00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:52,210
What's the matter?
275
00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:54,037
You're in bed already. So?
276
00:15:54,704 --> 00:15:56,456
So, I told you 100 times,
277
00:15:56,539 --> 00:15:58,541
watching you get
undressed is the best part.
278
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,502
The best part?
279
00:16:01,002 --> 00:16:03,505
Well, maybe not the best part,
but in the top two.
280
00:16:04,046 --> 00:16:05,263
(LAUGHS)
281
00:16:05,923 --> 00:16:09,393

my little honey?
282
00:16:11,345 --> 00:16:14,975
Whoo! Ah. I'm glad I was late.
283
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:19,107
Me too! You just hold your horses.
I got a surprise for you.
284
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:20,609
I went by the post
office this morning.
285
00:16:20,688 --> 00:16:24,238
I picked up a package. The very latest
thing from Frederick's of Hollywood.
286
00:16:24,317 --> 00:16:25,409
Yeah?
Just a little something sexy
287
00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:27,158
I thought you might like.
288
00:16:27,236 --> 00:16:28,276
What do you think? Little?
289
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:29,614
It don't look too little to me.
290
00:16:29,697 --> 00:16:31,074
Well, it certainly
ain't a trainin' bra,
291
00:16:31,157 --> 00:16:32,875
but I do believe
I can fill it out.
292
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:34,293
I don't think you
got any problem there.
293
00:16:34,368 --> 00:16:36,245
I'll be back with more.
294
00:16:36,913 --> 00:16:39,416
(LAUGHS) You know, Mona,
295
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:41,751
I've known a lot
of women in my life.
296
00:16:42,210 --> 00:16:44,929
None of 'em has ever been
exciting to me like you are.
297
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:48,592
Really? Even after all these years
we've been meetin' like this?
298
00:16:49,091 --> 00:16:50,138
I'll tell you something.
299
00:16:53,596 --> 00:16:58,022
A year with you is like
a minute of sheer happiness.
300
00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:02,439
Well, now, that is just about the
sweetest thing anybody ever said to me.
301
00:17:03,356 --> 00:17:04,573
I know.
302
00:17:05,775 --> 00:17:07,402

00:17:07,652 --> 00:17:10,997
you bring out the...
The romantic in me.
304
00:17:17,620 --> 00:17:18,872

305
00:17:20,456 --> 00:17:22,254
Whoo! You did that real fast.
306
00:17:22,792 --> 00:17:24,214
Well, honey,
I've had a lot of practice
307
00:17:24,293 --> 00:17:25,795
gettin' in and
out of my clothes.
308
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,014
How do you like the outfit?
309
00:17:29,131 --> 00:17:30,383
Hot damn.
310
00:17:30,925 --> 00:17:32,893

311
00:17:33,970 --> 00:17:35,688
Whoo. (LAUGHING)
312
00:17:36,305 --> 00:17:38,728
(LAUGHING)
313
00:17:40,142 --> 00:17:41,815
Well, you don't look real sexy.
314
00:17:42,645 --> 00:17:44,022
What do you mean?
I look like I always look.
315
00:17:44,272 --> 00:17:45,364
That's just it.
316
00:17:45,439 --> 00:17:46,861
It's them damn
droopy boxer drawers.
317
00:17:46,941 --> 00:17:48,488
I just hate
the looks of them things.
318
00:17:48,818 --> 00:17:50,536
I've worn boxer
shorts for years!
319
00:17:50,611 --> 00:17:52,158
And they look like it.
320
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:54,332
These are a brand-new pair.
321
00:17:54,448 --> 00:17:56,576
I don't know what you're talkin'
about, "I don't look sexy."
322
00:17:56,659 --> 00:17:59,879
People tell me I have a real
sexy quality about me.
323
00:17:59,996 --> 00:18:02,294
Well, you do,
but them boxer shorts don't.
324
00:18:02,373 --> 00:18:06,173
But when I was gettin' me some
sexy things, I thought about you,
325
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:08,596
because they have a his 'n' hers
sexy department at Frederick's
326
00:18:08,671 --> 00:18:10,844
and I thought you
might try that on for size.
327
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:14,268
What the hell is it,
a Japanese slingshot?
328
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:15,515
(LAUGHS)
329
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:19,395
No, it's jockey shorts with
little silver snaps on the side.
330
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:23,695
Mmm. Little is the key word here.
They are real little.
331
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:25,817
In fact, a guy could hurt
himself wearin' those things.
332
00:18:25,896 --> 00:18:27,523
I don't think so,
thank you very much.
333
00:18:27,815 --> 00:18:32,446
Ed Earl, I paid $20 for these, plus
postage. And I want you to wear it.
334
00:18:33,154 --> 00:18:34,997
Aw, you paid $20 for these?
335
00:18:35,072 --> 00:18:36,164
MONA: Yes!
336
00:18:36,324 --> 00:18:37,541
Well, you got screwed.
337
00:18:38,701 --> 00:18:40,328
Come on, Ed Earl!
338
00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:41,875
ED EARL: No!
339
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:44,082
If they look half as good on you
as I think they're going to
340
00:18:44,165 --> 00:18:46,384
you ain't gonna have to
wear 'em but a second.
341
00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:47,627
Maybe less.
342
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:50,672
They're ridiculous.
They're impossible.
343
00:18:50,755 --> 00:18:51,802
They're sexy.
344
00:18:51,881 --> 00:18:53,428
No, no, no!
345
00:18:53,883 --> 00:18:56,557
Well, fine! Then I'm gettin'
dressed and goin' home.
346
00:18:56,719 --> 00:19:00,565
Well, fine! I'm goin' in the
bathroom and... Put these on.
347
00:19:05,269 --> 00:19:07,943
Be like puttin' two bowling
balls in a marble bag.
348
00:19:08,898 --> 00:19:11,151
Braggin', braggin', braggin'.
349
00:19:14,904 --> 00:19:17,908
Well, I saw Dulcie
Mae in town today.
350
00:19:18,032 --> 00:19:19,158
ED EARL: Oh, yeah?
351
00:19:19,241 --> 00:19:21,915
I guess you'll be goin' over
there for Thanksgivin' dinner.
352
00:19:22,036 --> 00:19:23,458
ED EARL: Don't I always?
353
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:26,089
You know, you better check
that turkey of hers,
354
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:27,758
because there's a hook
in there that's gonna
355
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:29,585
drag your ass to
a wedding chapel.
356
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:32,680
ED EARL: (CHUCKLES) No way.
357
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:39,600
I don't believe in matrimony.
It screws up a relationship.
358
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:41,556
Amen to that, Ed Earl.
359
00:19:43,099 --> 00:19:44,100
Ready?
360
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,443
Oh, I'm always ready.
361
00:19:52,108 --> 00:19:54,611
Well, hellfire. ls that it?
362
00:19:54,777 --> 00:19:55,903
How'd you like it?
363
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:57,780
I didn't hardly
get to even see them!
364
00:19:59,323 --> 00:20:00,370
That's all you're gonna see,
365
00:20:00,449 --> 00:20:02,201
'cause I ain't gonna parade
around like no model.
366
00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:04,587
Aw, come on, Ed Earl. For me.
367
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:05,959
No! No.
368
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,424

little silver snaps are for.

00:20:15,089 --> 00:20:17,217
(CHUCKLES) Work, don't they?
372
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:19,510
Just like a snap.
373
00:20:20,761 --> 00:20:23,014
Come on over here and give me
a little lip-lock.
374
00:20:25,391 --> 00:20:26,431

Well, I think it is.
435
00:23:16,896 --> 00:23:18,398

parked from the highway

phone was out, because...

Okay, Rufus.
What's on your mind?
463
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:03,339
Something that
could have serious
464
00:25:03,419 --> 00:25:05,012
implications to
the health of this town!
465
00:25:05,087 --> 00:25:06,805
Tell him, C.J.!
Just like you told me.
466
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,240
Well, Sheriff, I have this friend
that works in a TV station
467
00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:10,346
down in Houston.
468
00:25:10,426 --> 00:25:12,679
He tipped me off
that Melvin P. Thorpe's
469
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:15,184
plannin' an expose
on the Chicken Ranch.
470
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:16,689
Who?
471
00:25:16,765 --> 00:25:18,108
Melvin P. Thorpe!
472
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:19,730
He's that crazy
consumer advocate.
473
00:25:19,810 --> 00:25:21,983
Has a report on
the late night news.
474
00:25:22,354 --> 00:25:24,857
He's got a new show now,
a half hour once a week,
475
00:25:24,940 --> 00:25:27,238
The Watchdog Report.
It's on tonight.
476
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,659
The Chicken Ranch on TV.
Now, come on, fellas.
477
00:25:31,947 --> 00:25:33,324
Television is a family medium.
478
00:25:33,407 --> 00:25:35,034
But he's a sensationalist,
Ed Earl.
479
00:25:35,117 --> 00:25:38,291
He shows up with his TV cameras every
time a consumer has a complaint.
480
00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:40,213
He's a menace to
the business community.
481
00:25:40,539 --> 00:25:43,258
He's that feller that put the
peanuts back in the chocolate bar.
482
00:25:44,918 --> 00:25:46,010
What?
483
00:25:46,086 --> 00:25:48,088
He made the makers of the
Peanut Delight candy bar
484
00:25:48,172 --> 00:25:50,391
admit that they put less peanuts
485
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:52,093
in each bar than
they advertised.
486
00:25:52,176 --> 00:25:53,416
He made them change their ways.
487
00:25:54,261 --> 00:25:55,421
Sounds like a tough customer.
488
00:25:55,888 --> 00:25:57,368
He's got a lot of
influence out there.
489
00:25:57,765 --> 00:25:59,645
If he brings cameras out
to the Chicken Ranch...
490
00:25:59,725 --> 00:26:03,070
Come on, Rufus!
I'll make some phone calls.
491
00:26:04,271 --> 00:26:06,899
I got a little influence
around this state myself.
492
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:13,035
Well, it's no use talkin'
to me about it, Sheriff!
493
00:26:13,363 --> 00:26:16,412
Melvin P. Thorpe is now the biggest
attraction at this station.
494
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:21,171
High ratings. Lots of letters.
He doesn't listen to anybody.
495
00:26:21,663 --> 00:26:23,586
Hell, he wants to go national!
496
00:26:23,665 --> 00:26:26,043
Wants to be watchdog
for the whole U.S. of A.
497
00:26:26,335 --> 00:26:27,803
Love to help you, Ed Earl,
498
00:26:27,878 --> 00:26:30,238
but just like you don't want to
mess with the Chicken Ranch,
499
00:26:30,297 --> 00:26:32,299
I don't wanna ruffle
this old bird's feathers.
500
00:26:32,925 --> 00:26:35,974
Here in Houston, he's becomin'
a regular Texas attraction.
501
00:26:36,345 --> 00:26:38,268
Well, now, wait a minute,
Ed Earl.
502
00:26:38,347 --> 00:26:42,318
I'd tread easy on this one. Them
TV boys can be mighty powerful.
503
00:26:42,476 --> 00:26:44,649
And mighty useful,
if you get my meaning.
504
00:26:45,104 --> 00:26:46,105
Senator, roll call.
505
00:26:47,189 --> 00:26:48,782
Excuse me, Ed Earl. I gotta go.
506
00:26:48,857 --> 00:26:51,235
It's that damn
bilingual bullshit again.
507
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:53,112
Let me give you
a word of advice from
508
00:26:53,237 --> 00:26:55,410
one elected official to another.
509
00:26:56,198 --> 00:26:58,166
Be careful of the box.
510
00:27:02,121 --> 00:27:04,215
Son of a bitch.
What the hell's going on?
511
00:27:04,289 --> 00:27:07,042
This goddam Melvin P. Thorpe's
got the whole state bamboozled.
512
00:27:07,126 --> 00:27:09,379
This is serious, Ed Earl.
You gotta do something.
513
00:27:10,045 --> 00:27:11,467
I intend to.
514
00:27:12,422 --> 00:27:15,471
Deputy Fred. I want you to hold
down the fort for a while.
515
00:27:15,717 --> 00:27:16,969
Me? Yeah, you.
516
00:27:17,052 --> 00:27:18,474
Where you goin'?
517
00:27:18,554 --> 00:27:19,726
I'm goin' to Houston.
I'm gonna take care
518
00:27:19,805 --> 00:27:21,307
of that little
pecker wood myself.
519
00:27:42,411 --> 00:27:44,413
This is it. Thank you.
520
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:47,796
MELVIN: Come in.
521
00:27:51,170 --> 00:27:52,547
Mr Thorpe?
522
00:27:52,921 --> 00:27:53,968
I know you.
523
00:27:54,548 --> 00:27:55,595
You do?
524
00:27:55,924 --> 00:27:59,554
Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd. They told
me you were here. Come on in.
525
00:28:00,971 --> 00:28:02,598
I hope I'm not...
526
00:28:03,765 --> 00:28:05,017
Interrupting anything.
527
00:28:05,267 --> 00:28:07,144
Oh, please!
It's my pleasure, my honor.
528
00:28:07,227 --> 00:28:08,729
What brings you here to Houston?
529
00:28:08,812 --> 00:28:10,405
Sit down. Anywhere over here.
530
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,903
I, uh... (CHUCKLES).
I'm gettin' dressed.
531
00:28:13,025 --> 00:28:15,778
Sit down.
I've got my TV show to do,
532
00:28:15,903 --> 00:28:17,450
and I'm runnin'
a bit behind time.
533
00:28:17,946 --> 00:28:19,948
ED EARL: It's your show I want
to talk to you about, Mr Thorpe.
534
00:28:20,032 --> 00:28:21,409
Oop. Melvin.
535
00:28:21,491 --> 00:28:22,492
Melvin.
536
00:28:22,784 --> 00:28:24,536
Please. You watch the show, Ed?
537
00:28:24,620 --> 00:28:25,792
Last week Well...
538
00:28:26,330 --> 00:28:28,674
was the best ratin' we ever had.
539
00:28:28,832 --> 00:28:32,006
The city planning commissioner
was drivin' a city car...
540
00:28:32,085 --> 00:28:33,587
Just hold that for me, will you?
541
00:28:34,963 --> 00:28:37,842
While he was on vacation.
Caught him dead to rights.
542
00:28:38,258 --> 00:28:40,181
That pitiful putz.
Would you just pull that up?
543
00:28:40,260 --> 00:28:42,228
What? Just pull that up.
544
00:28:43,847 --> 00:28:45,895
And we broke a 30 share.
545
00:28:45,974 --> 00:28:47,976
It's affectin' my pieces
on the late night news.
546
00:28:48,435 --> 00:28:51,359
Up, up, up. They just
love my little report.
547
00:28:53,815 --> 00:28:55,032
I hear you're very popular.
548
00:28:55,359 --> 00:29:00,866
The power of television, of public
exposure, is so great it scares me.
549
00:29:01,114 --> 00:29:03,617
I swear, I could get the
mayor's own children
550
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:04,701
to throw rocks at him.
551
00:29:05,827 --> 00:29:07,500
Which show did
you like best, Ed?
552
00:29:09,248 --> 00:29:11,376
I think the one about the...
553
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:12,623
Nuts in the chocolate bar.
554
00:29:12,668 --> 00:29:14,762
That's one of my favorites.
555
00:29:15,128 --> 00:29:18,302
"Threescore" means 60,
like the Bible says.
556
00:29:18,382 --> 00:29:21,477
So, if it says "60
nuts" on the wrapper,
557
00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:24,600
I wanna see 60 nuts inside.
558
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,479
And I'm talkin' full nuts.
I'm not talkin' a half nut,
559
00:29:27,849 --> 00:29:29,851
or nut bits or nut chips.
560
00:29:31,728 --> 00:29:33,071
I'm talkin' a full nut.
561
00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:38,906
I can see that.
562
00:29:39,361 --> 00:29:43,616
Thank God we still live in
a society where anything
563
00:29:43,949 --> 00:29:46,793
that's phony or dishonest
can't stand the light of day.
564
00:29:47,577 --> 00:29:49,545
Sock. Beg your pardon?
565
00:29:49,621 --> 00:29:50,918
Uh, sock.
566
00:29:51,498 --> 00:29:53,091
Thank you. Yeah.
567
00:29:54,626 --> 00:29:58,005
Most corporations involved
in false advertisin'
568
00:29:58,630 --> 00:30:00,724
would just laugh at a $50 fine.
569
00:30:01,383 --> 00:30:03,431
But you show up
with your TV camera
570
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,808
and give them
a little bad publicity
571
00:30:06,096 --> 00:30:10,067
and they shape up faster than goose
shit slides through a tin horn.
572
00:30:10,392 --> 00:30:11,644
(LAUGHS)
573
00:30:13,353 --> 00:30:14,855
(HUMMING)
574
00:30:15,022 --> 00:30:18,026
Well, Melvin, it's that bad publicity
I want to talk to you about.
575
00:30:18,275 --> 00:30:20,528
That could hurt people.
You take that report
576
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:22,157
you're doin' on
the Chicken Ranch.
577
00:30:23,030 --> 00:30:24,782
That place is older
than rocks and water.
578
00:30:25,407 --> 00:30:28,160
I wouldn't be surprised if your
granddaddy took your daddy out there
579
00:30:28,243 --> 00:30:29,790
to learn about
the birds and the bees.
580
00:30:29,870 --> 00:30:33,625
(CHUCKLES) I'm from New Jersey.
581
00:30:34,082 --> 00:30:37,586
See, I moved to Houston six years ago.
(CHUCKLES)
582
00:30:37,794 --> 00:30:39,592
Texas suits my style.
583
00:30:41,131 --> 00:30:42,849
The point I'm tryin' to make is
584
00:30:42,924 --> 00:30:45,268
that every schoolboy in
the state knows about it.
585
00:30:46,011 --> 00:30:47,854
Most of the politicians
have slept there.
586
00:30:47,929 --> 00:30:50,057
And the mayor and the people of
my county that voted for me,
587
00:30:50,140 --> 00:30:51,767
they want to keep
things just the way they are.
588
00:30:51,933 --> 00:30:55,779
Hmm. You know something,
Sheriff, it just struck me.
589
00:30:56,188 --> 00:30:58,282
We are in the same profession.
590
00:30:58,357 --> 00:30:59,404
What's that?
591
00:30:59,483 --> 00:31:00,860
Law enforcement.
592
00:31:00,942 --> 00:31:03,786
I'm out there fightin' for the
rights of the public, just like you.
593
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:06,490
Both of us are interested
in protectin' the public.
594
00:31:06,782 --> 00:31:10,252
You in the old way,
and me in the new.
595
00:31:10,911 --> 00:31:12,003
Uh-huh. The new?
596
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:13,797
Television.
597
00:31:14,206 --> 00:31:16,504
I'm the electronic
bounty hunter.
598
00:31:16,583 --> 00:31:18,802
I use a camera, you use a gun.
599
00:31:19,044 --> 00:31:20,296
Yeah.
600
00:31:20,504 --> 00:31:21,847
Well, Melvin,
everybody'd be happy
601
00:31:21,922 --> 00:31:23,219
if you'd just drop
the whole thing.
602
00:31:23,298 --> 00:31:24,345
Ah.
603
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,223
I mean, those ladies out there,
604
00:31:27,636 --> 00:31:29,604
they perform
a necessary function.
605
00:31:29,679 --> 00:31:30,726
I mean, right or wrong...
606
00:31:30,806 --> 00:31:32,308
Right or wrong
don't interest me!
607
00:31:32,933 --> 00:31:36,312
I'm no moralizer. I leave
all that to the preacher.
608
00:31:36,770 --> 00:31:38,317
Well, I'm glad.
609
00:31:38,939 --> 00:31:40,441
Anyway, the mayor was
thinkin' maybe
610
00:31:40,524 --> 00:31:41,867
you'd want a little
unnecessary publicity.
611
00:31:41,942 --> 00:31:45,913
(LAUGHS) Unnecessary publicity?
He's got me all wrong!
612
00:31:45,987 --> 00:31:49,617
I'm not one of those sensation
mongers out to boost his own ego!
613
00:31:49,741 --> 00:31:50,742
Clear.
614
00:31:52,244 --> 00:31:53,587

00:31:53,662 --> 00:31:54,788

I designed this myself. (LAUGHS)
617
00:31:57,707 --> 00:32:02,338
No, you tell your mayor he's got
nothing to fear from me on that score.
618
00:32:03,171 --> 00:32:04,423
He'll be happy to hear that.
619
00:32:04,506 --> 00:32:06,224
I'm a lawman.
That's my interest.

it after the show.

00:43:05,291 --> 00:43:06,417
BOY: Get him, Sheriff.
858
00:43:06,501 --> 00:43:07,969
May be mean, but he's ours!
859
00:43:08,044 --> 00:43:10,763
Number three.
No sawed-off little pecker
860
00:43:10,838 --> 00:43:13,933
is gonna accuse me of takin' a
bribe and live to tell about it
861
00:43:14,008 --> 00:43:16,557
'cause I wear the badge
in this goddamn county.
862
00:43:16,636 --> 00:43:20,391
So you listen and listen good, you
over-padded, televisin' turd.
863
00:43:20,598 --> 00:43:22,726
If I ever see you or any
of those little bastards
864
00:43:22,850 --> 00:43:24,727
that work for you
in my town again,
865
00:43:24,852 --> 00:43:26,980
I'm gonna knock you
so flat you're gonna
866
00:43:27,063 --> 00:43:28,610
have to roll down
your socks to shit!
867
00:43:28,689 --> 00:43:30,032
(MOANING)
868
00:43:30,358 --> 00:43:31,951
That's tellin' him, Sheriff!
869
00:43:32,026 --> 00:43:33,323
Oh, my goodness!
870
00:43:33,528 --> 00:43:35,201
So get outta here, you goddamn,
871
00:43:35,530 --> 00:43:37,908
wig-wearin',
citified son of a bitch!
872
00:43:37,990 --> 00:43:39,412
(GUNSHOT)
873
00:43:42,954 --> 00:43:46,800
(SPUTTERING) Holy shit!
Oh, my God, that man's crazy!
874
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:48,296
Oh! Ooh.
875
00:43:54,006 --> 00:43:55,349
Move, you schmuck!
876
00:43:58,052 --> 00:43:59,895
Move it! Come on!
877
00:44:00,304 --> 00:44:04,229
Get outta here! Move this thing!
878
00:44:04,308 --> 00:44:07,437
Come on, move this thing!
I'll get you for this.
879
00:44:07,687 --> 00:44:10,566
You son of a bitch!
You'll pay for this.
880
00:44:10,690 --> 00:44:13,660
You're in trouble, Sheriff!
You're in big trouble!
881
00:44:15,319 --> 00:44:16,946
So long, partner.
882
00:44:20,658 --> 00:44:22,205
(LAUGHING)
883
00:44:43,764 --> 00:44:47,519
Boy, you sent him hightailin'.
I was so proud of you!
884
00:44:47,602 --> 00:44:48,728
Didn't I? Yeah.
885
00:44:51,522 --> 00:44:53,115
Mmm-hmm. (LAUGHS)
886
00:44:54,108 --> 00:44:55,781
Look at them stars.
887
00:44:55,860 --> 00:44:56,952
Mmm.
888
00:44:57,862 --> 00:45:00,115
Well, there ain't nothin'
prettier than a Texas sky.
889
00:45:00,907 --> 00:45:02,124
Ain't that the truth.
890
00:45:05,244 --> 00:45:06,746
Hey, look! Did you
see that shootin' star?
891
00:45:06,829 --> 00:45:08,081
Mmm-hmm.
892
00:45:08,789 --> 00:45:11,212
Yeah. That could've been
a spaceship, you know.
893
00:45:11,292 --> 00:45:12,332
You believe in spaceships?
894
00:45:12,376 --> 00:45:13,468
Sure.
895
00:45:14,086 --> 00:45:15,884
I saw a picture once.
896
00:45:15,963 --> 00:45:18,091
Them fellers that's supposed
to be from up there.
897
00:45:18,174 --> 00:45:19,596
Fly around. Uh-huh.
898
00:45:20,301 --> 00:45:22,850
Tiny little fellers,
bald-headed.
899
00:45:23,095 --> 00:45:25,348
Little feet,
little hands, got no peckers.
900
00:45:26,307 --> 00:45:27,854
Got no peckers?
901
00:45:29,268 --> 00:45:32,192
Well, I ain't interested.
(LAUGHS)
902
00:45:32,980 --> 00:45:34,653
I don't think my
girls would be either.
903
00:45:34,982 --> 00:45:36,325
(CHUCKLES)
904
00:45:36,651 --> 00:45:40,076
MONA: When I was a little kid, I
used to imagine a flyin' saucer
905
00:45:40,154 --> 00:45:43,658
swoopin' down and pickin' me up
and takin' me off to heaven.
906
00:45:43,824 --> 00:45:45,451
Like the angels.
907
00:45:45,618 --> 00:45:46,835
ED EARL: Mmm-hmm.
908
00:45:46,994 --> 00:45:50,123
"L looked, and behold, a whirlwind
comin' out of the north.
909
00:45:50,206 --> 00:45:51,674
"And out of the midst
of the fire came the
910
00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:53,376
"likeness of four
living creatures."
911
00:45:55,002 --> 00:45:56,282
What the hell you talkin' about?
912
00:45:56,337 --> 00:45:57,509
Well, that's from the Bible.
913
00:45:57,588 --> 00:45:59,807
That's what the Bible says
about spaceships in Ezekiel.
914
00:45:59,882 --> 00:46:01,259
Don't you know
nothin' about the Bible?
915
00:46:01,342 --> 00:46:02,764
Yeah, I know about the Bible!
916
00:46:02,843 --> 00:46:05,043
I just don't know nothin'
about no Ezekiel in the Bible.
917
00:46:05,638 --> 00:46:09,017
I knew Ezekiel Peebles
once in the eighth grade.
918
00:46:10,601 --> 00:46:12,444
Think I busted his jaw.
919
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:13,646
Mmm.
920
00:46:13,729 --> 00:46:15,572
Well, that was
very Christian of you.
921
00:46:15,648 --> 00:46:18,071
Well, most of my
family was Baptist.
922
00:46:19,193 --> 00:46:21,537
Well, I never stayed
with one family long enough
923
00:46:21,821 --> 00:46:23,101
to become
anything in particular.
924
00:46:23,572 --> 00:46:26,041
But I read the Bible.
I believe in Jesus.
925
00:46:26,826 --> 00:46:28,578
I think Jesus was...
926
00:46:28,995 --> 00:46:30,747
Was a real good man.
927
00:46:30,871 --> 00:46:32,669
And he was a heck of a speaker.
928
00:46:33,291 --> 00:46:37,046
Yep. I knew a woman once
that had a vision of Jesus.
929
00:46:37,128 --> 00:46:40,678
He came right in her house, set
right down at the foot of her bed.
930
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,057
Mmm-hmm?
931
00:46:42,341 --> 00:46:44,309
I don't know what I'd do
if that happened to me.
932
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,141
I'll tell you something, honey.
933
00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:48,973
If Jesus comes to your house,
all hell's gonna break loose.
934
00:46:49,265 --> 00:46:50,562
(LAUGHS)
935
00:46:50,641 --> 00:46:51,858
(CHUCKLES)
936
00:46:51,934 --> 00:46:53,811
You got a point there, Ed Earl.
937
00:46:54,103 --> 00:46:55,400
But you know,
Jesus was really good
938
00:46:55,479 --> 00:46:57,231
to Mary Magdalene,
the fallen woman.
939
00:46:57,732 --> 00:46:59,700
He was always
bein' very sociable.
940
00:47:00,234 --> 00:47:03,955
He went to this big weddin'
once and they ran out of wine.
941
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,282
You know what he did?
Turned the water into wine.
942
00:47:07,283 --> 00:47:09,911
Well, that's a man that knows
how to throw a party.
943
00:47:10,411 --> 00:47:12,539
Now, don't be sacrilegious.
944
00:47:12,872 --> 00:47:16,126
I'm not.
I'm not. He forgives me.
945
00:47:17,251 --> 00:47:18,753
He knows I was kiddin'.
946
00:47:18,878 --> 00:47:20,346
Yeah, I know he forgives you.
947
00:47:20,421 --> 00:47:23,015
That's funny, now,
how God can forgive you,
948
00:47:23,090 --> 00:47:24,888
and people can't.
Now why is that?
949
00:47:25,593 --> 00:47:29,814
Well, because people are not
very God-like, Mona.
950
00:47:30,723 --> 00:47:31,940
I know.
951
00:47:32,850 --> 00:47:34,067
I know.
952
00:47:35,311 --> 00:47:36,437
Yeah.
953
00:47:38,606 --> 00:47:40,859

What is it?
956
00:47:54,538 --> 00:47:56,131
Melvin P. Thorpe
957
00:47:56,374 --> 00:47:58,968
is a sorry son of a bitch.

(LAUGHING)
960
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,640
You reckon he's gonna
run for the legislature?
961
00:48:08,177 --> 00:48:09,269
Why?
962
00:48:12,306 --> 00:48:14,809
I never told
anybody this, Mona, but...
963
00:48:17,478 --> 00:48:19,598
I was thinkin' of runnin'
for the legislature someday.
964
00:48:20,940 --> 00:48:22,442
Are you serious, Ed Earl?
965
00:48:22,525 --> 00:48:23,651
Yeah.
966
00:48:24,860 --> 00:48:27,955
They say an honest man can't be
elected in this country anymore.
967
00:48:28,739 --> 00:48:30,741
But I don't believe that.
968
00:48:31,492 --> 00:48:33,369
This is a good country.
969
00:48:34,620 --> 00:48:36,497
I believe I could win.
970
00:48:36,664 --> 00:48:39,543
Well, you got my vote.
I might even go register.
971
00:48:40,543 --> 00:48:42,796
Boy, I sure didn't know
you had dreams that big.
972
00:48:42,878 --> 00:48:43,925
Hmm.
973
00:48:44,004 --> 00:48:45,597
People really do
like you, though.
974
00:48:45,673 --> 00:48:46,799
They like you, too.
975
00:48:46,882 --> 00:48:48,008
Really? Sure.
976
00:48:48,843 --> 00:48:50,811
You ask anybody
in town about you.
977
00:48:50,970 --> 00:48:52,438
Say,
"How do you like Miss Mona?"
978
00:48:52,513 --> 00:48:57,189
They say, "Shoot, she's a fine woman.
Fine, friendly and nice."
979
00:48:57,393 --> 00:48:58,485
Huh.
980
00:48:58,686 --> 00:49:02,065
Well, I always just thought if you
see somebody without a smile,
981
00:49:02,398 --> 00:49:03,866
you give 'em yours.
982
00:49:03,941 --> 00:49:05,363
I like that.
983
00:49:06,527 --> 00:49:07,904
I like that.
984
00:49:08,988 --> 00:49:11,036
Think I'll use that
as my campaign slogan.
985
00:49:12,366 --> 00:49:15,370
If you see somebody without
a smile, give 'em yours.
986
00:49:15,870 --> 00:49:17,750
I'm gonna have that
printed up on a little card.
987
00:49:18,038 --> 00:49:21,042
Oh, you're kiddin' me.
You smart-ass.
988
00:49:21,709 --> 00:49:23,427
I had a dream once.
989
00:49:24,211 --> 00:49:25,337
Yeah?
990
00:49:25,546 --> 00:49:27,014
I'll tell you if
you won't laugh.
991
00:49:27,089 --> 00:49:28,762
Oh, I won't laugh.
992
00:49:28,841 --> 00:49:31,390
Well, I used to dream
of bein' a ballerina.

00:49:41,395 --> 00:49:45,616
(LAUGHS) Well,
I think that's wonderful.
998
00:49:45,900 --> 00:49:48,380
And I think you still could be a
ballerina if you wanted to be.
999
00:49:48,486 --> 00:49:50,488
No, you could!
Oh, don't be ridiculous!
1000
00:49:50,571 --> 00:49:53,620
Go into training right now.
Just start jumpin' up and down.
1001
00:49:53,699 --> 00:49:55,918
Me? Jumpin' up and down?
I'd black both my eyes.
1002
00:49:56,327 --> 00:49:57,579
(LAUGHS)
1003
00:49:57,828 --> 00:49:59,956
I couldn't be a ballerina now.
I'm too top-heavy.
1004
00:50:00,039 --> 00:50:01,639
I have a hard enough
time balancin' these
1005
00:50:01,665 --> 00:50:03,633
things now,
without gettin' on my toes.
1006
00:50:11,759 --> 00:50:13,386

1007
00:50:13,469 --> 00:50:14,641
What?
1008
00:50:14,762 --> 00:50:18,107
You know that, uh, I don't
see anybody but you anymore.
1009
00:50:19,767 --> 00:50:21,527
Course, now, you can't
say the same, can you?
1010
00:50:25,773 --> 00:50:29,277
I haven't been to bed with another
woman besides you in three years.
1011
00:50:30,402 --> 00:50:32,279
You didn't know that, did you?
1012
00:50:33,864 --> 00:50:35,787
No, I didn't know that.

Dad-gum it, Ed Earl! If you
ain't a pluperfect fool!
1076
00:53:32,793 --> 00:53:35,046
You may be right.

whorehouse in Lanville County.
1079
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,053
Only been one here
for about 150 years.
1080
00:53:42,136 --> 00:53:45,140
Ed Earl, now, you can set up speed
traps to catch the tourists.
1081
00:53:45,431 --> 00:53:48,731
You can look the other way when the
wrong kid swipes a car to go joyriding.
1082
00:53:49,435 --> 00:53:51,608
Hell, you can even let Miss
Mona run her place out there!
1083
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.
1084
00:53:55,733 --> 00:53:57,406
I didn't know they
was takin' pictures.
1085

the cameras were for?

over at the Legionnaire Hall.

That ain't fair, dang it!

There's just one thing to do.
1091
00:54:13,667 --> 00:54:15,089
And that's close
the place down before

we all go to hell
in a hand basket.
1093
00:54:16,503 --> 00:54:20,224
Close it down! She was just fine as
long as she was bringin' in the money
1094
00:54:20,299 --> 00:54:21,642
and makin' civic contributions,
1095
00:54:21,717 --> 00:54:24,561
but the moment her luck ran sour,
you want to run out on her.
1096
00:54:25,012 --> 00:54:27,731
Run out on her like
rats from a burnin' barn!
1097
00:54:28,098 --> 00:54:31,853
That's just it, Ed Earl.
Who's gonna put out that fire?
1098
00:54:31,977 --> 00:54:33,570
Look, if you won't
close her down, at least
1099
00:54:33,645 --> 00:54:35,325
tell her to lay low
for a couple of months!
1100
00:54:35,397 --> 00:54:38,321
Yeah, just until the heat
wears off a little bit.
1101
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,323
Give it two months.
What's two months?
1102
00:54:41,069 --> 00:54:43,948
Nobody tells me how
to run my goddam job,
1103
00:54:44,031 --> 00:54:45,829
and nobody gives me advice!
1104
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:50,671
I'll do things my own way. I'm
gonna make up my own damn mind!
1105
00:54:51,663 --> 00:54:53,586
Two months. What's two months?
1106
00:54:53,665 --> 00:54:55,918
Shut down for two months!
1107
00:54:56,460 --> 00:54:59,760
That is a hell of a lot
to ask somebody, Ed Earl.
1108
00:55:00,047 --> 00:55:01,469
And that's a hell
of a lot of overhead
1109
00:55:01,548 --> 00:55:03,801
to pay out when
cash ain't comin' in.
1110
00:55:04,301 --> 00:55:05,974
What d'you think I
ought to tell my girls?
1111
00:55:06,053 --> 00:55:07,771
Well, maybe it won't
be two months.
1112
00:55:07,846 --> 00:55:09,314
The holidays are comin' up.
1113
00:55:09,389 --> 00:55:11,232
Maybe in a couple of weeks the
whole thing will blow over
1114
00:55:11,308 --> 00:55:12,605
and then you can let
your regular customers...
1115
00:55:12,684 --> 00:55:16,905
I warned you yesterday about losin'
your temper and carryin' on.
1116
00:55:17,147 --> 00:55:18,945
Last night you said
you was proud of me.
1117
00:55:19,107 --> 00:55:22,077
Last night I wasn't
on the 11:00 news!
1118
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.
1119
00:55:25,948 --> 00:55:28,042
I don't know anything about
that electronic bullshit!
1120
00:55:28,116 --> 00:55:29,959
How was I supposed to
handle that situation?
1121
00:55:30,452 --> 00:55:34,002
That's your job, Ed Earl. Ain't
that what they pay you for?
1122
00:55:34,164 --> 00:55:37,543
I know what my job is! Don't be
tellin' me what my goddamn job is!
1123
00:55:37,626 --> 00:55:40,095
I could close this place down
in a New York minute!
1124
00:55:40,712 --> 00:55:43,340
All I'm askin' for is for you
to give me a little cooperation
1125
00:55:43,423 --> 00:55:45,425
so I can get through
a difficult situation
1126
00:55:45,592 --> 00:55:47,344
with as little
trouble as possible!
1127
00:55:47,427 --> 00:55:50,556
Okay, okay, okay!
I'll shut it down.
1128
00:55:50,806 --> 00:55:51,807
You will?
1129
00:55:52,099 --> 00:55:54,272
What do you want,
a written contract?
1130
00:55:54,977 --> 00:55:56,069
You promise?
1131
00:55:56,436 --> 00:55:58,939

I am givin' you my word.
1132
00:56:03,694 --> 00:56:06,117
I'm sorry, Mona,
about the whole situation.
1133

Don't feel sorry for me.
1134
00:56:09,825 --> 00:56:13,875
I started out poor, and I
worked my way up to outcast.
1135
00:56:17,082 --> 00:56:18,709
I know what I'm
askin' you to do is gonna
1136
00:56:18,792 --> 00:56:20,552
turn out to be
the best thing for both of us.
1137
00:56:21,169 --> 00:56:22,671

turn out just fine.

I just promised the sheriff

that we're gonna shut
down for two months.
1163
00:57:25,317 --> 00:57:27,445
What? How can you promise that?
1164
00:57:27,861 --> 00:57:30,364
What about the football game
celebration tomorrow night?
1165

And that's real special.

Well I know it's special, Jewel!

But I don't know what to do now.
1169
00:57:39,706 --> 00:57:41,208
I did promise.
1170
00:57:41,291 --> 00:57:43,168
You think if we just close the
doors to the regular customers,
1171
00:57:43,251 --> 00:57:45,800
just went on with the party as
planned, that'd be all right?
1172
00:57:46,046 --> 00:57:50,222
I'm sure it will, honey. That party
is a bigger tradition than the game.

The Chicken Ranch, the legendary,
long-running bawdy house,
1432
01:18:45,387 --> 01:18:47,890
is showing little activity
after the disclosure yesterday
1433
01:18:47,973 --> 01:18:49,350
of the Thanksgiving night raid.

01:18:49,808 --> 01:18:50,809

gate keeps away onlookers

while up at the house,
the doors are closed

are not talking.

conference this afternoon.
1443
01:19:07,159 --> 01:19:09,582
I have a report here that
says that the Chicken Ranch
1444
01:19:09,662 --> 01:19:13,712
is involved with and under the
influence of organized crime.
1445
01:19:13,999 --> 01:19:17,048
I myself am gonna take
this report to Austin
1446
01:19:17,127 --> 01:19:18,845
in the hopes that
the Governor himself
1447
01:19:19,046 --> 01:19:20,798
will come out of
his long silence
1448
01:19:20,923 --> 01:19:23,392

the Governor made no statement,

01:19:30,849 --> 01:19:32,929
who was a principal figure
in the Watchdog news raid,
1454
01:19:33,143 --> 01:19:35,521
also held a press conference
explaining his involvement.
1455
01:19:36,021 --> 01:19:39,616
I have no independent recollection
of going to the Chicken Ranch.
1456
01:19:39,692 --> 01:19:42,115
And I can only say,
as the most dedicated

the state legislature,
1458
01:19:44,655 --> 01:19:46,202

communist sympathizers
1460
01:19:48,701 --> 01:19:52,547
and placed there to harm
my reputation and good name.

01:19:52,788 --> 01:19:55,211
Reaction across
the state is split 50-50.
1462
01:19:55,291 --> 01:19:56,463
But here in the town of Gilbert,
1463
01:19:56,542 --> 01:19:58,215
the Chicken Ranch
has many supporters.
1464
01:19:58,711 --> 01:20:01,214
I ain't never seen anything
bad come out of there yet,
1465

and I've lived here all my life.
1466
01:20:03,507 --> 01:20:06,477
Why, they attract a lot of
business to the community.
1467
01:20:06,552 --> 01:20:09,431
They pay their taxes. (CHUCKLES)
Just like you and me!
1468
01:20:10,014 --> 01:20:13,393
No one. No one was ever
forced to go up there.
1469
01:20:13,726 --> 01:20:17,105
My Frank, when he was alive, used
to go up there every Saturday.
1470
01:20:17,187 --> 01:20:21,158
I took it as a blessin'. Of course,
things were different then.
1471
01:20:21,483 --> 01:20:25,158
Nowadays women enjoy doin'
that sort of thing themselves.

At least, so I've been told.
1473
01:20:28,157 --> 01:20:31,161
The Chicken Ranch?
I think it's a good idea.
1474
01:20:31,243 --> 01:20:32,540
See, you take a lot of
young boys
1475
01:20:32,619 --> 01:20:34,462
and they're gonna be out
there lookin' for women.
1476
01:20:34,538 --> 01:20:36,415
If they can't find 'em,
they'll rape 'em.
1477
01:20:36,749 --> 01:20:39,878
And if they don't do that, they'll
run to other women and get diseases!
1478
01:20:40,252 --> 01:20:41,845
Those girls went to doctors.

01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:45,265
Although petitions are being
circulated to save the Chicken Ranch,

01:20:45,341 --> 01:20:48,185
already this bumper sticker is
beginning to appear around the state.

line up behind the bill

of prostitution
1483

already in the legislature, while
traditionalists and fundamentalists
1484
01:20:56,268 --> 01:20:58,612
lobby for its defeat, the
fate of the Chicken Ranch
1485
01:20:58,687 --> 01:20:59,813

But with television broadcasting
this from hell to breakfast,
1492
01:21:14,787 --> 01:21:17,961

said and kept this place closed.

stop it this time, is he?

No. He'd like to,
but he's out of his league.

He don't know how to fight 'em.

He's just a good old boy that
ain't never gonna grow up.

Honey, we see
everything in this profession.
1499
01:21:38,227 --> 01:21:41,948
But one thing I ain't never seen,

Don't be too hard on him.
He loves you.
1501
01:21:48,987 --> 01:21:50,660
Well, he ain't never said it.

01:21:52,199 --> 01:21:54,418
Some men can't say the words,
honey.
1503
01:21:55,244 --> 01:21:57,372
But that don't mean they
don't feel it in their heart.
1504
01:21:59,206 --> 01:22:01,880
Well, it's just as
well anyhow, Jewel.

talk about but this Chicken Ranch mess.
1509

the thing for you to do is
1848
01:43:56,147 --> 01:43:57,865
just to put this
whole thing behind you

better than I know myself.

01:44:17,293 --> 01:44:19,091

this is for me to say.

this for a long time.

And as much as I'd
love for it to work,
1860

it ain't never gonna be.
