MY NERVES ARE SHATTERED.
OPEN THE WINDOW, DEAR.
OH, IT MIGHT NOT BE GOOD FOR YOU, MARGARET.
OH, DON'T BE SILLY, MILBURN.
I NEED OXYGEN.
BESIDES, I ADORE THE FRAGRANCE OF THAT JASMINE THAT GROWS ON THE FENCE OF THAT TENNIS COURT NEXT DOOR.

FAMILY OR NO FAMILY, THAT WOMAN NEEDS HELP AND BY THUNDER, SHE'S GONNA GET IT.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE.
MILBURN, HAVE YOU TAKEN LEAVE OF YOUR SENSES? YOU KNOW I'M MUCH TOO NERVOUS TO WATCH TELEVISION.
BUT DARLING, THE DOCTORS IN BOSTON SAID YOUR NERVES WERE JUST FINE.
THOSE BOSTON DOCTORS, THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL ME THAT I WAS PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
I SAID, "I'M NOT PAYING YOU ALL THAT MONEY TO TELL ME I'M HEALTHY.
" MILBURN, I DO NOT WANT TO WATCH TELEVISION.
WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH IT, DEAR, JUST LISTEN.
THERE'S AN EXCITING WESTERN ON.
WESTERN.
MILBURN, SHUT THAT OFF AND OPEN THE WINDOW.
I WILL, OH, OH, THERE WE ARE.
(GUNFIRE) MILBURN, ARE YOU GOING TO OPEN THE WINDOW OR AM I? I AM, DEAR.
(COWS MOOING) (SHEEP SOUNDS) THERE YOU SEE.
THE CATTLEMEN AND THE SHEEP MEN ARE FIGHTING IT OUT.
WELL, IF YOU WON'T TURN IT OFF, I WILL.
OH, DEAR, I DO ADMIT THAT'S A VERY OLD PLOT, BUT I'M SURE WE CAN GET SOMETHING BETTER.
(COW MOOING) THAT MEDICAL PROGRAM, GO BACK TO THAT.
WELL, DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S A BIT DEPRESSING? I WANT THE MEDICAL PROGRAM.
ALL RIGHT.
(COWS MOOING) MILBURN, I STILL HEAR THE CATTLE AND THE GOATS.
YES, YOU SEE, YOU SEE, THIS IS THE LATEST THING IN TELEVISION PROGRAMS, A MEDICAL WESTERN.
MEDICAL WESTERN? YES, YES, I THINK IT'S CALLED "SAGEBRUSH SURGEON.
" THAT'S THE WINDOW HE POINTED TO RIGHT THERE.
I GOTTA GET SOME FRESH GOAT'S MILK UP TO THAT WOMAN SOME WAY.
(COW MOOING) (GOAT SOUNDS) I COULD SHIMMY UP THE TREE AND CLIMB RIGHT IN THAT WINDOW.
AW, JETHRO, TAIN'T FITTIN' FOR A MAN TO BE IN A WOMAN'S BEDROOM.
HOW ABOUT ME? NO, ELLY, YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO HANDLE SOMEBODY A WRESTLING IN THE GRIP OF OLD JOHN BARLEY CORN.
I GOTTA GET UP THERE AND HAVE A GOAT HANDY TO MILK EVERY SO OFTEN.
I THINK I GOT IT FIGURED OUT, GRANNY.
WHAT? I'LL GET A ROPE, THROW IT OVER THAT LIMB, HOIST YOU UP TO THE WINDA.
JETHRO, YOU GET THAT MR.
BUTLER AWAY FROM THE FRONT DOOR.
AND THEN, ELLY, YOU TAKE A NANNY GOAT, LEAD IT UPSTAIRS TO HER ROOM FOR GRANNY.
ALL RIGHT, PA.
BUT THAT LITTLE GOAT AIN'T GONNA DO NOTHIN' UNLESS IT'S GOT THAT LITTLE CHICKEN SITTIN' ON ITS BACK.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
RAW EGG AIN'T GONNA DO MRS.
DRYSDALE A BIT OF HARM.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) (GOAT SOUND) (CHICKEN SOUND) MARGARET, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? PACKING.
I'M LEAVING IMMEDIATELY.
OH, DON'T LEAVE ME.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU TOO, MILBURN.
WHY DON'T YOU COME TO BOSTON WITH ME? YOU HAVEN'T SEEN SONNY FOR A LONG TIME.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHY HAVE YOU SUDDENLY DECIDED TO GO BACK TO BOSTON? TO SEE THOSE DOCTORS.
LET THEM DARE TO TELL ME NOW I DON'T HAVE A NERVOUS CONDITION.
WHY I'M EVEN HAVING HALLUCINATIONS.
IT'S WONDERFUL.
HALLUCINATIONS? I JUST SAW A WITCH FLY BY THAT WINDOW, AND THERE'S A GOAT IN THE BATHTUB WITH A CHICKEN RIDING ON ITS BACK.
OH, YOU COULDN'T SEE THEM, DEAR.
ONLY SOMEONE WITH MY SHATTERED NERVOUS SYSTEM.
THERE GOES THE WITCH AGAIN.
OH, MILBURN, I'M THE HAPPIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD.
IT'S MARVELOUS.
WAIT UNTIL THOSE DOCTORS HEAR THIS.
CAN'T GET IN THE ATTIC AND SHE WON'T OPEN THE WINDA.
HOIST ME UP AGAIN.
HERE, MILBURN.
LET'S HAVE A VITAMIN TOAST TO MY COMING TRIUMPH.
IT'S TOO LATE, JED.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, GRANNY? WE DIDN'T GET TO HER IN TIME.
NOW SHE'S GOT HER HUSBAND ON THE STUFF.
WELL NOWIT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO JED AND ALL HIS KIN.
AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOLKS FOR KINDLY DROPPIN' IN.
YOU'RE ALL INVITED BACK NEXT WEEK TO THIS LOCALITY TO HAVE A HEAPIN' HELPIN' OF THEIR HOSPITALITY.
HILLBILLY, THAT IS.
SETA SPELL.
