place you ought to be so deluded up the

truck in the mood to Beverly Hills that

Magnolias and Honeysuckle and that is

your collard greens and fatback play our

dance spring wouldn't be spring unless I

walked up a good big pot of collards

inside these

you got Wildland engineer just like back

home I hope you're going to have plenty

of corn bread to crumble in the pot

liquor oh you betcha that reminds me I

better go Stir It Up will you guard my

pot for me well sure but it ain't likely

any Critter would bother boiling green

there's one that will and he's been

sitting up in the tree for the last

three hours waiting for me to go into

the house so he can swoop down sound

like a buzzard you're close it's the ten

toed black tufted vinyl Snatcher

[Music]

here's your water granny oh thank you

darling just pour it in the pot

come on now from there Jethro can't hear

you Uncle Jed

I got chores for you I didn't hear that

neither

well I got a trick that'll get him down

real good go to it

[Music]

okay let's have a sociable this evening

like we used to have back home in the

Hills when I cook my spring collards but

I did granny I'll invite some neighbors

in back home we didn't have to invite

them that's the truth especially the

ones that live downwind

he bounced right back up twice

don't look like he's hurt

ah he's fine

he done to me yeah he tricked you out of

the tree some trick she throwed me 40

feet on my head

well

you can fill in the hole later

right now we got to get ready for the

spring Eaton Festival hot dog I'm

cooking four bushels of greens a pack of

wild onions and 20 pounds of fat fat

we're hoping some neighbors will drop in

neighbors that ain't hardly enough for

me I mean us ready you reckon I could

have a little help in the homie to

supper all right boy go fetch a plate

here just feel this

there is living proof that the moon

ain't made of cheese if it was Jethro

would be there that'd be a heapless moon

of that surgery anything else I can do

maybe Ellie can convince it right in the

neighbors she can start with the

Drysdale I don't hardly think they need

an invite their house is down with

besides of Mr drives are likely at the

bank by now

[Music]

are you serious you're letting Mrs

Drysdale sell the house a prospective

buyers coming this morning to look it

over would you live right next door to

the club but I can't picture you're ever

leaving well I promise Margaret if she'd

stick it out for seven years I better

sell the house and I am a man of my word

well congratulations you've got Newfound

courage you've got self-confidence and

maturity thanks

I've also got an option to buy the house

on the other side of the Clampetts

in the same spot

not exactly the new house is 25 feet

closer

you've done the thing twice about this

your wife just might leave you

gee I hadn't thought of that

no I don't want to dream The Impossible

Dream yes

oh hello Margaret Milton darling I

hesitate to bother you you've been so

sweet about selling the house

the problem

well our prospective buyer is a

celebrity doubtless the man of

fastidious taste and I'm afraid when I

show him around he's going to be

nauseated well that's simple just don't

talk so much

I was referring to the fact that Granny

is cooking some witch's brew alcohol

ing this way

maybe the wind will change before the

buyer gets there don't worry about it

and oh Margaret you get upset with me at

times but

you wouldn't ever leave me would you

um if I may ask who is the prospective

buyer the famous entertainer Pat Boone

talented and yet modest and unassuming

great artist never mind that I want to

know about the important virtues they

got money where does he Bank

has it ever occurred to you have you

ever entertained the thought that there

just might be something in this world

more important than money of course I

not only entertain the thought I

mentioned it to my father

more important than money

percent of my collards and fat back some

deal he's speaking of deals did you tell

Drysdale we're not going to hold him to

that ten thousand dollar price I'll tell

him when he gets here he'll worry let

him I read the fine print on that

agreement with the interest he charges

promised to turn over a new Leaf we all
