WELL, IF YOU GET MAD ENOUGH, WHY DON' YOU TRANSFER TO MR. WEAVER'S BOAT?

HE NEEDS:

A COOK.

OH, I COULD

GET A JOB EASY ENOUGH.

IT'S JUST THA HIS BOAT'S SO HANDY.

I AIN'T WORKED UP

ENOUGH YET.

MAYBE KLORE WAS JUS SHOWING OFF IN FRONT OF YOU.

WELL, I SUPPOSE I HAVE

TO MAKE HIS BREAKFAST.

SEE YOU WHEN:

THE FOG LIFTS.

WELL, I HOPE SO,

BUT MAYBE I WON'T.

- WHY?

- I MAY HIRE OUT TO MR. BUTTERFIELD.

- TODAY?

- IF HE GIVES ME THE JOB.

OH.

I JUST CAN' UNDERSTAND IT.

A BIG STRONG FELLA LIKE

YOU HANKERING FOR A FARM!

HERE. HERE.

YOU CAN' SLEEP HERE!

GO IN:

YOUR OWN CABIN.

I WAN MY BREAKFAST.

YOU'LL GE YOUR BREAKFAST.

- I WANT EGGS.

- YOU'LL GET EGGS.

OH.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL ME

WHAT I'M GONNA EAT, DO YOU?

WELL, I WON' EAT EGGS!

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT... EGGS.

BUT I WANT 'EM

DIFFERENT.

I'M SICK

OF YOUR EGGS.

BOILED EGGS:

AND FRIED EGGS.

I WANT SOME:

BOILED FRIED EGGS!

THAT'S WHAT I WANT.

WELL, LISTEN, KLORE-

YOU ARE DRUNK NOW.

WHY DON'T YOU GO IN

AND GET SOME SLEEP

SO WE CAN GET OUTTA HERE THIS AFTERNOON.

I AIN'T GOT A TASTE

FOR THIS TOWN ANYMORE.

- THERE YOU ARE, MR. HARROW.

- THANKS.

- MORNING, DAN.

- MORNING, MRS. GURGET.

KNOW MOLLY:

GOT IN LAST NIGHT?

YES, MA'AM. SHE'S TIED UP TO OUR BOAT.

HEY, LOOK OUT!

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE, MOLLY.

BE CAREFUL.

HEY, DON'T THROW

THOSE EGGS!

HEY!

LIKE FUN YOU WILL!

WHAT'S THE MATTER,

MOLLY?

IT'S THIS HERE KLORE!

HE'S GONE AND GOTTEN ME

PRETTY MAD.

I'VE STOOD JUS ABOUT ENOUGH OF HIM.

HE AIN'T GONNA GIVE ME

NO LICKING,

AND I AIN'T WIPING NO

EGG OFF OF HIS FACE!

WHAT'S THE EGG

DOING THERE?

I PUT I THERE.

MUST HAVE THROWN THE WHOLE DOZEN AT HIM.

EXCUSE ME FOR MAKING YOU A WITNESS.

IF I WAS YOU, I'D UP AND LEAVE HIM.

THAT'S JUST WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

I AIN'T NEVER BEEN ASHAMED OF MYSELF,

AND I AIN'T GONNA BE ASHAMED

OF ANYBODY I WORK FOR.

GET YOUR THINGS AND

COME ON TO ROME WITH US.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER

IN THE HOTEL.

WELL, NOW THA YOU'VE QUIT KLORE,

WHY DON'T YOU

SIGN UP ON OUR BOAT?

YOU'RE GOING

ON A FARM.

WILL THE COOKING

BE GOOD ON A FARM?

I GUESS NOT.

DO YOU LIKE:

CHICKEN PIE?

YES, MA'AM,

I DO.

WELL, I AIN'T BOASTFUL,

MR. HARROW,

BUT I DON'T KNOW

WHERE YOU COULD GE A BETTER CHICKEN-PIE MAKER THAN I AM.

- AND GRIDDLE CAKES ON MORNINGS LIKE THIS?

- I DO LIKE GRIDDLE CAKES.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU STAY ON

WITH MR. WEAVER A WHILE LONGER?

I'D LIKE TO EAT YOUR COOKING, MA'AM,

BUT I DON'T THINK THE CANAL'S

EVER GONNA AMOUNT TO ANYTHING.

- WHAT?

- NO, MA'AM, I DON'T.

NOT WITH THE RAILROADS

COMING IN LIKE THEY ARE.

YOU'RE FOR

THE RAILROADS, TOO!

WAIT A MINUTE, MA'AM, DON' GET YOUR DANDER UP AGAIN.

- YOU'RE FOR THE RAILROADS!

- NO, MA'AM, I AIN'T,

BUT THEY'RE BUILDING

RAILROADS ALL OVER NOW.

THE PEOPLE AND GOODS FROM EUROPE CAN

GO OUT WEST QUICKER ON THE RAILROADS

THAN THEY CAN:

ON THE CANAL.

THAT'S THE WAY THEY'RE

BUILDING UP THE COUNTRY.

NOW, DON'T GE YOUR DANDER UP.

I AIN'T.

I'LL NEVER GET ANYWHERE ON THE CANAL.

I KNOW A LO ABOUT A FARM.

MAYBE IF YOU HAD SOME GOOD CANAL

COOKING YOU'D FEEL DIFFERENT.

NO, MA'AM,

I WOULDN'T.

WELL, THERE'S NO NEED OF ME

GOING ON MR. WEAVER'S BOAT THEN.

HE'LL GE ANOTHER DRIVER.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER

I'D LIKE HIM OR NOT.

WELL, I GOT TO

GET MY THINGS.

BUFFALO GAL, CAN' YOU COME OUT TONIGHT?

CAN YOU COME OUT TONIGHT,

CAN YOU COME OUT TONIGHT?

BUFFALO GAL, CAN'T YOU COME OUT TONIGH AND DANCE BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON?

I ASKED HER:

WOULD SHE HAD SOME TALK

HAD SOME TALK,

HAD SOME TALK:

HER FEET COVERED UP THE WHOLE

SIDEWALK AS SHE STOOD CLOSE TO ME

BUFFALO GAL,

CAN'T YOU COME OUT TONIGHT?

CAN'T YOU COME OUT TONIGHT,

CAN'T YOU COME OUT TONIGHT?

BUFFALO GAL, CAN'T YOU COME OUT TONIGH AND DANCE BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON?

FIRST TIME I SEEN YOU.

MR. WEAVER'S GIVEN ME A

HALF INTEREST IN THE BOAT.

OH, THEN, NOW YOU'RE

GONNA STAY ON THE CANAL.

I WOULD IF I KNEW AT THE END OF I I COULD BUY US A FARM YOU'D LIKE.

WELL, WHAT IF

YOU FIND OU YOU LIKE THE ERIE

MORE THAN A FARM?

THEN I'LL STAY.

I'LL COME

AND COOK FOR YOU.

NOT TILL WE'RE

SURE OF OURSELVES.

LET'S MAKE A PROMISE-

I'LL PROMISE NEVER TO

AND YOU PROMISE NEVER

TO TALK ABOUT A FARM.

WE'LL SEE HOW

IT WORKS OUT.

I PROMISE.

A NERVOUS SHOCK.

SAM WEAVER WON $5,000 IN THE OHIO.

WELL, WHY SHOULD THAT GIVE YOU A SHOCK?

THE WINNING TICKET WAS MINE.

THEN HOW DID:

SAM GET IT?

I BOUGHT THE TICKE AND THEN SOLD IT TO SAM

THING LIKE THAT TO YOU,

THE MINUTE HE HEARS MOLLY SKIPPED,

HE'LL WANNA FIGHT THE

FIRST FELLA HE SEES.

I JUST HAPPEN:

TO THINK:

I'VE GOT TO

SEE IVY.

SIT DOWN!

MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA IF

KLORE DID GET IN A FIGHT.

SAVE TROUBLE FOR MOLLY AND DAN.

IF HE WANTS TO KNOW

WHERE MOLLY WENT,

SEND HIM OVER:

TO THE AGENT.

I- I'LL GO WITH YOU,

MR. WEAVER.

YOU'LL STAY

RIGHT HERE.

SOL, AIN'T NONE OF YOU GO NO BRISTLE ON YOUR BELLY

WHERE KLORE IS:

CONCERNED.

OH, HELLO,

HELLO,

SAMSON!

YOUR BROTHER'S A BOAT BUILDER, AIN'T HE?
