For Kansas City, Cheyenne,
Pendleton...
And the wonders of the west.
Oh, hello, Malcolm.
Hello, Molly.
Oh, how lovely! Oh!
Come on in.
All right.
I'll sit there.
Where do you want this?
Well, up here, I guess.
All right.
Where's your luggage and everything?
Greg has it.
Greg? He stopped to get
me something to read.
Oh. Brought me in a taxi.
Wasn't that nice of him?
Oh, I don't know.
You don't like Greg, do you?
I hate him.
Malcolm, why can't
we all be friends?
- Because I hate him.
- Malcolm!
I put the other bag
in the luggage compartment.
Thank you. Greg.
Hi, Malcolm.
Nice to see you. How've you been?
Fine, thanks.
This is for you, honey.
A guide to the west.
Oh, wonderful.
350 illustrations.
Really?
You don't say? You know, I
always think it's interesting...
To see things you've only
seen pictures of before.
Gives you a kick. You know what I mean?
Pardon me, Malcolm. I'll get this up here.
Can I help you? No,
I'll manage, thanks.
What's all this? Oh, that's
a present from Malcolm.
Isn't it lovely?
Yeah. Better not eat too much of
it, though. That'll make you sick.
Looks like you're out west already.
Yeah.
Molly? Malcolm? No, thank you.
No, thanks.
Gee, you look swell, Molly.
Doesn't she, Malcolm?
That's what I always tell her.
Well, I guess
it's these flowers.
Mr. MacGarnigal gave them to me.
Oh.
Nice old guy, MacGarnigal. Yeah.
- Hey, Duchess, where are you?
- Hello, Bob.
Oh, I see we have a quorum here.
How are you men, anyway?
Fine.
Nice to see you. Here, Duchess.
Eat your head off.
Oh, thank you!
Oh, you shouldn't have done it.
Ah, don't be silly.
Uh, put it up there next to the
other one, will you? Sure.
Mine. Excuse me, please.
You'll pardon us. I'm
glad I'm here anyway.
I didn't think I was gonna make it for a
while. I'm up on the road with my taxi...
Don't tell us about it. No.
Is there anything I can do for you?
Yeah. Get married.
Listen, brother... I'm not gonna
have you acting like this.
Well, I... well, I-I guess
you'd better be going.
Well, good-bye, Molly.
Good-bye.
And, uh, think it over.
You know, about what we were
talking about the other night?
Yes, I will.
Good-bye.
Molly...
Yes, Greg.
Good-bye, Bob.
So long, Duchess.
- Good-bye, boys.
- Good-bye.
Good-bye, watch out for snakes.
Yeah, all kinds.
Honey, do you mind
if I ask you a question?
Why, no.
Go ahead.
What are you going away for?
Oh... I hope you don't think I'm
forward for speaking first,
but after all, one of us had to speak
first, so what's the difference which one?
My name's
Molly J. Truesdale.
Florrie Bendix.
How do you do?
Glad to know you.
Glad to know you.
How are you enjoying
the trip so far?
Oh, fine.
Not me.
I wish I'd have known.
I bet I wouldn't have come.
Why not?
Why not?
Look at the no fellas.
That's all right with me.
Hello, everybody. Hello, hello,
hello, hello, hello, hello.
I'd like to have your attention for a minute.
You're gonna have mine for the next 14 days.
So it isn't asking for too much, is it?
No, that's what I thought.
I'd like to introduce myself to you.
My name is smiley Lambert.
But you folks can call me smiley Lambert.
That's pretty cute, isn't it?
How are you? Good to see you.
All set for 14 breathless days?
Doesn't mean you have to hold
your breath, now does it?
How are you, sir? Glad to see you.
Yes, sir, a big, happy family.
The idea is not to get
in each other's hair.
Hair today, gone tomorrow,
I always say.
Got an idea you don't like me, brother.
Well, I'll grow on you.
Yes, sir, grow on you. How are you, girls?
Having fun?
Good to see you. How are you? Well,
look at this little man here.
All set for a nice, little trip?
You're all right, Sonny.
We've got... Well. Sex appeal,
folks, right over here.
Yes, sir. Sex appeal. Oh,
you pretty, pretty, pretty.
Well, we'll be leaving
in about two minutes...
Change seats with me, will you?
This is the old
necking department, folks,
in case anybody's interested.
We used to call this a saloon. Everybody
came here here for scotch and "sofa."
You're right with me, ain't ya?
Right with me all the time.
Now, folks, we'll be off for the smoothest,
most comfortable ride you ever had.
Yes, sir, the easiest, smoothest,
most comfortable ride you ever had.
And I'm the boy that's gonna tell you
about it. Okay, major. Let her go.
- Contact!
Hot dog?
No.
Are you all right?
I, uh, guess so.
Folks, it was a happy landing...
You sure you ain't
busted no place?
Uh, well, I'm pretty sure.
Okay.
Hey, Duke.
Are we all right?
Sure, sure, Waco.
We ain't hurt?
We ain't even shook up.
If we woulda rode that other horse,
we'd have taken the day money.
Yep.
We sure woulda.
Hey, mister.
Oh, hello.
Would you mind giving me
your autograph? My what?
Would you sign my program? I
want to keep it as a souvenir.
Oh.
I don't mind.
"Duke Hudkins."
Thank you very much,
Mr. Hudkins.
I, uh... I don't get
sat on every day.
Well,
good-bye.
Hey, lady!
You want to sign my program?
Me? Well,
gee whiz, Mr. Hudkins,
I don't...
I don't sit on people every day.
Oh... sure.
This is, uh, pretty fancy.
I don't know whether
you can read it or not.
"Molly J. Truesdale."
Let's go, Molly.
What? Well, you like
beer, don't you?
Well, isn't it funny
what can happen...
Just because somebody...
Happens to sit on somebody?
Where are you from?
The east.
Is that so?
Mm-hmm.
Where are you from?
West.
Is that so?
??
Whoopee!
? Oh, if you're troubled by the
blues watch those swingin' feet ?
? They'll have you dancing in your shoes,
I'm telling you buddy, they can't be beat ?
? King of swing you sing with
? Fall in line
and don't be late ?
? Stayin' and swayin' and
singin' and swingin' and yeah ?
Two beers.
Coming up.
Well, I must say...
This is certainly an
extra added attraction.
How's that?
Well, there was nothing like this
included in "all expenses paid."
Oh.
Do you mind if I feel your arm?
Go ahead.
That's what I thought.
Well, here's to ya.
Maybe you don't like beer.
Oh, no.
No?
Oh, no, no, I mean...
This is fine.
You know, I think it's...
I think it's nice
for two people to just...
Sit and talk, don't you?
Yeah,
if they have something
to... talk about.
Gee, you must have...
Just about a million
things to talk about.
Well, sure. I have.
Thank you.
Uh...
Waco, come here.
- I want you to meet my better half.
- Anything you say, Duke.
Waco, this here's Molly.
Sit down, sit down.
Good to see you, Molly. How have you been?
Uh, just fine.
I, uh... I don't believe
I got your name.
Waco, like in Texas.
That's very interesting.
How did they happen to name
Other way around. They
Oh, really? Biggest
liar in the world.
Tell her a lie, Waco. Oh, ho, ho, ho.
