do you need Duty Bill he's already gonna

down here and model your new suit for

your paw I hope you didn't make her one

of them new uh bikinis as Jethro was

always talking about

I might have

sure ain't no beaconing and off the

cover of Cinema Sirens Clara Bowl was

wearing it I hate brother where

miraculous bathing suit no more bare

legs when a boy sees that my skin tone

he's liable to think or something other

than a lady that's why you'll find him a

fell

don't believe it's gonna be a problem

[Music]

to know there's only one way to settle

these things get somebody else to decide

I'm Mr Gray Dale and Miss Jean is coming

over this morning to get me to sign some

chicks we'll ask them what they think

what matters is what Joy Apollo thinks

don't worry honey he'd like you even if

he was wearing a rain barrel one of them

sure would be a lot cooler near why

don't you go stand by your window that

way you can catch a breeze and keep your

eye peeled for trolley at the same time

really

ain't you overdoing it little for this

fella

why because I put a few signs out on the

front porch what sign

up here don't crowd if your marriage

proposals brief others are waiting after

he sees all the

heal up

heal person we won't feel left I'm

ashamed of you well Ellie May is going

to meet all the help she can get it

won't be too long before she is a

full-fledged spinster once she comes

both names and then all she need is a

shawl and a rocking chair and the canary

you stop it's just a matter of time

before she goes walking down that aisle

all dressed in what yeah with hair to

matter

[Music]

welcome Troy Apollo is this for that

young singer yeah he's got a blind date

with Ellie this afternoon oh wonderful

blind dates are great oh it's a lot of

fun and isn't that a fine sounding name

Troy of Fallen he's right anxious

immediately too according to Mr cushion

John Cushing the Merchant's back set

this up my competition that's right I'll

wait Mr climate these blind dates never

work out the man's a total stranger only

a weirdo would have a cookie name like

Troyer I've never said much store by a

man's handle as far as it being

strangers goes uh they won't be once

it's introduced

but fishing

got me riding my heart too well let's go

inside and check I'll get the goose

quill

only underhanded low down Chief you have

been putting off getting Ellie a date I

rather suspect it that one day Mr

Christine would steal your thunder who

cares about guy Thunder he's trying to

steal her clap of the town please don't

stay up your foot again why not it's

very childish and extremely painful

about pain a few broken toes I stand to

lose my biggest account that is pain

hang on Chief there's always the

possibility that Troy and Ellie will

hate one another oh what a joy that

would be I just can't sit here and hope

I've got to do something Chief you won't

stand in the way of Ellie's happiness of

course not but I am going to find

someone who will you mean competition

for Troy Paul right and he's going to

get here first

some pleasant nice looking fellow I'm

going to start by asking Carrie Grant

sorry there were so many texts to sign

Mr Clapper never thought spending money

could be this tiring before you go I

want you to look at Ellie's new outfit

Ellie May

I don't miss Johnny oh hello Ellie my my

that is a nice looking little dress

it ain't a dress it's a bathing suit and

we like your thinking your honest

opinion

Ronnie to be honest with you it's

absolutely okay

geez wait till you see who I found for

Ellie he just won the title Mr private I

have a date for Ellie she already has a

date when she sees this boy she'll throw

rock to Troy a Powell Ellie here's

someone very interested in meeting you

ain't all it's strange

his arms swollen up twice the normal

size

[Music]

[Music]

quick oh although that Dave won't talk

he just stands there flexing his muscles

I just make yourself to home Mr Universe

thank you and call me Dave all right

call me Jed this here's Elliot it's

Granny hi Ellie granny Dr granny I hope

you don't mind or being a physician I

couldn't help noticing how you're uh

the only guess you could call it that I

used to weigh 90 pounds oh when did you

first notice that your shape was

changing oh I suppose within a week or

two after I got the barbells

barbells huh

that's what done all this right but

enough about me Ellie why don't you get

into a bathing suit

oh I get it you're wearing it under your

sweatsuit

don't say nothing remember

you hurry up

your concern is touching you

but you have other worries

something tells me that's Troy Apollo

yeah

you're just too marvelous to marvelous

foreign

you said it man

where is she look on the front porch

foreign

[Music]

Mr Cushing told me she was a real dish I

should have asked him what

[Music]

look I I've got a recording session why

you haven't even met Ellie I wish I

could give her my regrets and tell her

to stay with her weight lift maybe it'll

help anyway

can't hurt

wouldn't you like to sit down and rest a

bit Mr Universe Dave

and Ellie

I think we'd better get down at business

you know I've only got this afternoon

and then that's it

and you want to spend it with me that's

right I want to make you the next Miss

Universe

well Dave I know you ain't got much time

well we just met one another well so

what Ellie I can see you're a beautiful

Charming girl you've got a lovely figure

I think that's good enough for me

thank you Dave but uh I better go and

see if Granny's got lunch ready oh

there's everything in this book from

Ballers to bowling but not one word

about barbell float you know this is

affecting the boy's memory too can't

seem to remember his name has to have Mr

Universe printed across his shirt I'm a

cure for that dealman but nobody seems

to know anything about it granny why

don't you try to Ema of course

let's keep it in the kitchen because

it's got a Dandy recipe in it for pecan

pie

well that missed Universe just up and

asked me to marry him I should have

known this would happen you and that

bathing suit would turn a hefty man's

head hey are you sure well he come right

out and said he wanted me to be the next

Miss Universe makes Miss Universe and he

must be a winner the boy has had his

shirt what am I gonna do

sure can't marry him shame but I gather

he ain't long for this world he said he

only had this afternoon and that was it

ain't got much time granny anything on

bar Mills and medical Almanac nope the

only thing under B is belly aches and

blueberry muffins and I reckon it's

beholding on all of us to see to it that

his last hours or as comfortable as

possible

but howdy hey I don't believe we met my

name is Jethro

you could have caused a lot of damage

just then yeah that Bar's made us stay

home I wasn't squeezing with all my

strength what a Jethro Mr dreisel one uh

he told me about you if I put your one

up on me I don't know nothing about you

look around and guess

I say um Mr Drysdale told you about me

huh

try weight lifting

Shucks I don't need you I already got

plenty of muscles man I can see where

all of them are

you you're a ring surgeon how come you

got Mr Universe right across your teeth

look Jethro I'm not a brain surgeon my

name is Dave I'm a weight lifter and I'm

here to coach Ellie Mae she's entered

the Miss Universe contest well say how

about that anything I can do to help

I don't suppose you'd leave yeah you

don't have to worry about that

well I left a couple of dumbbells out on

the front porch you think you could

bring him back here for me sure what are

their names their names well I got to

call him something they're dumbbells

I'll be the judge of that what

I don't believe in me mouthing folks

with that outfit on oh it's ugly but it

is a bathing suit hey told me you

shouldn't get it wet I don't know why

hahaha

Ellie Troy

was that Troy Apollo yeah but you can

forget about him he tore out of here

like a scalded cat she didn't like the

looks of the house

we gotta turn our attention back to Mr

Universe he may be sick but at least

he's interested

[Music]

and you better turn the fire off so

it'll cool down oh it is cool you should

have seen it bubble when it was hot

any let me cure barbell bloat but it

looks like it'll k*ll a patient doing it

if the universe is taking a chance but

either way he gains if it don't cure him

at least he's saved from a lingering

death I believe I'd mentioned that to

Dave he may not agree he's getting all

that good a deal at least fetching him

but he better not pass this up it's the

best medical science can do for her

yes granny right with you Granny as soon

as I take a few of these nutrient pills

you fall over without them but you can

forgive them and the barbells Mr

Universe the end is in sight one way or

another

come on anyway

all we can do now is hope Dave is in the

hands of a specialist

here Granny if that's lunch thanks but I

brought along my own special food what

that's all I eat you know organic foods

like soy biscuits and Alfalfa and bone

meal ground kelp Dave I think you eat

nothing but that kind of stuff it may be

the reason you look like you do yeah

you're probably right it's that in the

barbells I'm gonna fix you a decent meal

before it's too late but granny I don't

have an appetite for regular food you

ain't tasted it the way I fix it here

thank you

granny did you make this yeah

if you don't mind I think I'll stick to

the ground kelp

they don't answer the knock they must

not be home if they are home

and you are going to meet the real Ellie

May Clampett or I'm withdrawing my bank

support for you and that means you can

say goodbye to your ambition to become

United States senator from California

singing voice alone go around back and

find Ellie Mae

to take your car I'll pick you up later

for a senator who uses curlers and a

hair net
