[Mary screaming]

Butch, what happened?

Come up here, Butch.

Where's all those farmers' daughters

I've been hearing about for years?

Why don't you boys fight over there?

You want to break my glasses?

Come on, folks. Step right up.

Only 10 cents a chance. Attaboy!

Here you are.

Ten cents gets you in

the only game in the stable.

Let's see. Number 16 wins.

And the lucky number.

There you are, young man.

Sorry you didn't get a better one.

CHICO:
Here we go!

Let's see what comes up.

Well, if he isn't the lucky guy. Double 0.

Two shots for the price of one.

Folks, this is the best game in all...

You're a mother, you understand.

How would you like to have somebody...

steal one of your heifers?

I know, heifer cow is better than none...

but this is no time for puns.

Get in that battle over there.

Here we are again at the ringside,

and it looks like a great battle.

Now the boys are locked

in the centre of the ring.

What a grudge fight. Zowie! Zowie! Zowie!

That makes three zowies,

and a man gets a base on balls.

Ending of the first inning.

No runs, no errors, but plenty of hits.

[Exclaims in mock joy]

This program comes to you courtesy of

the Golden Goose Furniture Company...

with three stores: 125th Street, 125th Street

and 125th Street.

You furnish the girl,

we tar and feather your nest.

Look for our advertisement

in today's ash can.

Now the boys are at it

in the centre of the ring! Oh! That one hurt!

Come on, you palookas! Stop stalling!

Oh, mama, if I only had my youth again.

[Bells clanking]

Round two.

Both boys are fiddling in the ring,

and I don't think much of the tune.

Briggs is bobbing and weaving.

It's nice work if you can get it.

Now they're trying. Very trying.

I copped that one from an almanac.

Now they're in the centre of the ring,

and the crowd hurrahs.

[Cow mooing]

Oh, Dad!

Are you all right, honey?

[Bells clanking]

Good boy. Remember, old Joe Helton

never forgot a friend.

This is one job that certainly

was a pleasure.

- What are you doing?

- I'm looking for a needle in a hay stack.

[Upbeat instrumental music]
