[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

ooh it's warm out

oh dad

the rest of your lemonade is in the

icebox

the lemonade you and matt only drank

half a pitcher

rest in the icebox i don't want any

all right maybe later

you want me later either

you mean you've sworn off lemonade

because you and matt quarles

now look here alan stop thanking me i'm

a grown man and

i don't like to be treated like a baby

in the first place i'm not nagging you

the second place if you act like a baby

you're gonna be treated like one

incidentally i had no intention of

bringing this up i was going to let you

stew in your own juice but now that you

have mentioned it i would like for you

to know that i was shocked at your

exhibition of bad temper

what about matt matt brockway is not my

problem you are

oh dad i can understand people having

differences of opinion we all do but to

almost get into a fist fight with a man

you've known all of your life over a

silly checker game

wasn't silly at all

oh pardon me it's the most important

checker game in the world the fate of

the universe hung in balance

civilization waited with baited breath

oh now you're talking foolish

am i

no more foolish than you and matt

standing out in that yard shouting at

each other like a couple of fat fish

wives well he's more fat than i am maybe

around the middle

and guess what is that supposed to mean

what do you think it means well if it

means what i think it means

it ain't funny

oh dad is not supposed to be funny

but really matt was your guest

now that you've calmed down a little bit

well the least you can do is call him

and apologize me apologize for him

don't fly off the handle

oh dad do it for jeff if you won't do it

for anybody else what's jeff got to do

with it he and porky are the innocent

victims poor jeff's been mooning around

here like a like a sick calf with

nothing to do

well i'll find something for him to do

the corn needs home the the wood needs

stacking and the garden is sweden now

where is he no i don't know he came in

here a little while ago to get an apple

looking like he lost his best friend

which he has now why should he have to

suffer for something that you did listen

i didn't do anything he knocked over the

board on account of i know i know oh dad

what difference does it make you and

matt have been close friends for 20

years well we're not good friends

anymore not on the count of the names he

called me what about the names you

called him well his was worse of mine

now you don't have to shake your head

i'm doing what i'm doing i'm gonna keep

on doing it that's all

you won't call matt no i won't

red

bridge

b-r-i-g

b-r-i-j

[Music]

you have to take it to porky go on messy

parking

[Music]

hi porky hi

[Music]

are you sure it's all right i asked my

mom

graham says i couldn't come to your farm

and your pop said you couldn't come to

mine

this is nobody's farm

yeah i guess so

that's why i wrote in the note for you

to bring your fishing pole so in case

anybody saw it i wouldn't think you were

just sneaking off that's smart now look

porky we gotta figure some way to get

gramps in your pop to make friends again

how

i don't know

but there's gotta be some way

for instance if one of them got into

trouble the other one had to help him

out yeah let's say my pot broke his leg

and your gramps could come over and fix

it up yeah

i don't think my pop would like a broken

leg

hey suppose gramps was on a runaway

horse and your pup caught the horse and

saved him how could he catch a horse he

can't even catch me

i guess you're right

hey i got a big one

it ain't a fish but it's big

[Music]

what's your pot maddest about

everything

he's got to be matter about one thing

morning is about another well he's

pretty mad about your grandson he wasn't

fit to be treasurer of the wednesday

sewing circle all right what if you told

me heard gramps say you didn't mean it

first i get my ears boxed up for being

near enough to your gramps to hear it on

account of i'm not supposed to set foot

on your farm second i get my ears

knocked off for telling a lie cause my

pop wouldn't believe me third i get my

ears knocked off just on account of

mentioning your gramps name i don't have

enough ears

wait a minute i've got an idea it better

be good it is

you got a hand printing set for

christmas didn't you yeah

all right what if we print up some hand

belts about the election for treasurer

of the grange and we passed them out at

all the farms what good would that do

when your pop wants to get elected

treasurer doesn't they boy and how all

right so we print up the hand bills and

on the hand bills gramps says something

nice about your pop and it helps them to

get elected then they gotta make up hey

all we gotta figure out is what to say

how long will it take you to print them

how many oh 20 or 30.

about an hour come on we can have them

handed out by tonight and maybe by

tonight they'll be trends again

[Music]

hi mom

hi sweetie

watch it they're

hot oh now honey you know that sweets

aren't good for lassie oh little won't

hurt her mom

are you been all afternoon oh around

you look like the cat that swallowed the

camaro huh

yeah we got it all figured out you have

by tonight gramps and porky's pop will

be friends again oh that's wonderful

how'd you manage it

you'll see

it's the constable clay horton

all righty jeff fine

hello play hello ellen

would you sit down and have a cup of tea

and some cookies no thanks ellen i just

had a bottle of pop in town

is uh mr miller on well i think he's in

the parlor just tell gramps if play

heart is here

that is telling him

oh god sit down clay i'll just be a

minute

hello hey oh cookies huh well

you uh know about this i'm sure

where'd this come from

what is it where did you come from

this is terrible who did it

who's responsible for this

jeff

what do you know about this

well

if you want to know if i printed it

if that's what you wanna know

i didn't but who did

well

all right it was my idea you see the big

thing that porky's pop was mad about is

that you said he wasn't fit to be

treasurer of the wednesday sewing circle

so i thought if he said he was fit well

then he wouldn't be mad anymore and sis

when do you have to talk for me since

when

since no time

mr miller

i'm sorry to have to do this but

mr brockway swore out of suit against

you for libel and defamation of

character

and i've got to serve you with subpoena

[Music]

dad jeff

suits on me

[Music]

oh something here for you

[Music]

mine

don't get worried porky and me are just

going to hide in tucker's woods till

friends again call porky's mom and tell

her love jeff
