HEY, BARNEY, I GOT NEWS YOU WON'T BELIEVE.

GUESS WHO'S COMING TO MAYBERRY.

WHO? JIM LINDSEY.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

WELL, YOU BETTER.

I GOT A CALL FROM HIM. HE'S A-DRIVING DOWN TOMORROW.

WANTS ME TO RESERVE A ROOM FOR HIM AT THE HOTEL.

AIN'T THAT GREAT?

YEAH, BOY.

WHO'S JIM LINDSEY?

WHO'S J...?

OH, NOW I'VE HEARD EVERYTHING.

DON'T YOU LISTEN TO RECORDS?

OF COURSE.

MAYBE YOU'VE HEARD OF BOBBY FLEET

AND HIS BAND WITH A BEAT? YEAH.

JIM LINDSEY'S ONLY

THE MAIN ATTRACTION WITH THE BAND.

HE PLAYS GUITAR. GEE WHIZ, HE'S A STAR.

AND BESIDES THAT, HE'S A FRIEND OF OURS.

I USED TO HAVE TO ARREST HIM

FOR PLAYING GUITAR ON THE STREET.

REMEMBER, BARNEY?

THEN WE'D GO INSIDE OF THE JAIL AND PICK AND SING TOGETHER.

HE'S RICH AND FAMOUS NOW.

YOU BETTER KNOW IT.

LET'S GO TELL EVERYBODY THE GOOD NEWS.

THEY'LL BE GLAD TO HEAR IT. COME ON.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE

YOU NEVER HEARD OF JIM LINDSEY.

YOU'D THINK YOU'D HAVE HEARD HIS HIT RECORD

"ROCK AND ROLL ROSIE FROM RALEIGH."

THAT'S GREAT, THAT'S JUST GREAT.

DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S GREAT, FLOYD?

OUR JIM, COMING BACK TO MAYBERRY.

OH, OH, GREAT. OH...

BIG AS THAT BOY IS,

HE IS NOT FORGETTING HIS HOME TOWN.

HE'S A FINE BOY.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM AGAIN.

ANDY, WHAT KIND OF A WELCOME DO YOU THINK

WE OUGHT TO GIVE JIM?

WE OUGHT TO MAKE IT A DOOZY.

WE OUGHT TO GET SOMEBODY TO MAKE A "WELCOME HOME" BANNER

AND PUT IT ON THE STREET.

AND ALSO, I THINK WE OUGHT TO HAVE

THE MAYBERRY DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS

MEET HIM AS HE COMES TO THE HOTEL.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

MAYBE MY DAUGHTER COULD SING A SONG.

HOW ABOUT "FLOW GENTLY, SWEET AFTON"?

LET'S GIVE JIM A POLICE ESCORT INTO TOWN.

THAT'S AN OUTSTANDING IDEA.

YOU MEET HIM DOWN AT THE JUNCTION.

BRING HIM IN WITH SIRENS A-BLASTING, HORNS A-TOOTING.

I'M TAKING CARE OF...

WHERE YOU BEEN, BARN?

WHERE DO YOU THINK? WASHING THE PATROL CAR.

WHEN YOU'RE AN OFFICIAL POLICE ESCORT

YOU GOT TO LOOK SMART.

EVERYTHING'S SET. I'LL CALL THE HOTEL.

OH, SARAH?

GET ME JASON OVER AT THE HOTEL.

BARNEY, YOU BETTER SIMMER DOWN.

YOU'RE GONNA BUST YOUR LITTLE CORPUSCLES.

WELL, IF I DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT THESE THINGS,

I DON'T JUST WONDER WHO --

HELLO, JASE? BARN.

IS EVERYBODY AT THE HOTEL?

UH-HUH.

WHO YOU GOT HOLDING THE BANNER?

WHO?

OH, GEE, I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, RALPH'S ALL RIGHT,

BUT THAT CHARLIE, HE ALWAYS LETS HIS END DROOP.

YEAH.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS?

ARE THEY THERE?

WHAT?!

ONLY TWO BUGLES?

WELL, JUST HAVE TO TRY AND MAKE OUT.

YEAH, WELL, I'M LEAVING FOR THE JUNCTION RIGHT AWAY,

SO IT WON'T BE LONG. YEAH.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS?

OH, KESTER GOT MAD AND QUIT.

WHY?

THEY WOULDN'T PRACTICE AT HIS HOUSE.

OH.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR NOW?

MY WHISTLE.

YOUR WHISTLE?

WHAT DO YOU NEED A WHISTLE FOR?

YOU CAN'T BE AN OFFICIAL POLICE ESCORT

WITHOUT A WHISTLE, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES.

LOOK IN THE BACK ROOM. MAYBE IT'S BACK THERE,

AND IF IT'S NOT

YOU MAY HAVE TO PUCKER AND MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN.

HA-HA-HA.

I TELL YOU WHAT ELSE YOU MIGHT DO, BARNEY,

IF YOU DON'T FIND THAT WHISTLE.

YOU MIGHT TRY BLOWING ACROSS AN EMPTY POP BOTTLE.

SOUND LIKE A BOAT COMING IN.

[ GUITAR CHORDS PLAYING ]

JIM LINDSEY!

HEY, BARNEY, IT'S JIM.

JIM LINDSEY.

[ GUITAR PLAYS MELODY ]

LET ME HAVE THAT HAND THERE, JIM.

OH, YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD, PLAYING BETTER THAN EVER.

DON'T HE SOUND GOOD, BARNEY?

YES, GOOD FOR YOU.

DON'T HE LOOK GOOD?

I JUST DROVE UP --

OH, NO.

OH, NO!

NO!

WHAT'S THE MATTER, BARNEY?

WELL, YOU MESSED UP THE PLANS, JIM.

PLANS? WHAT PLANS?

BARNEY WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET YOU AT THE JUNCTION

AND GIVE YOU A BIG POLICE ESCORT INTO TOWN.

I FOUND MY WHISTLE.

WELL, I'M SORRY, BARNEY.

OH, THAT'S OKAY.

YOU PLAN AND YOU PLAN, AND WHAT HAPPENS?

WELL, COME ON, LET'S GET STARTED.

ESCORT PARADE.

ESCORT PARADE?

IT'S JUST TO THE HOTEL.

I KNOW, BUT WE AGREED TO AN ESCORT PARADE

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE.

WELL, BARNEY... OH, WELL, UH...

LEAD THE WAY, GRAND MARSHAL.

OKAY. COME ON, JIM, LET'S GO.

BOY, WAIT TILL YOU SEE

WHAT WE GOT LINED UP FOR YOU.

YEAH, IT REALLY IS GOOD...

OOH-WEE, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT CAR!

BARNEY, DID YOU EVER SEE ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

THAT'S CRAZY, AIN'T IT?

YOU BETTER KNOW IT.

RED... AND LOOK --

LOOK AT ALL THE KNOBS AND THINGS

AND LEATHER UPHOLSTERY.

THIS MUST HAVE SET YOU BACK A PRETTY PENNY, JIM.

WELL, YOU MAKE IT, YOU SPEND IT.

WE AIN'T GOT TIME TO TALK NOW.

JIM, YOU FOLLOW US. WE'RE THE LEAD CAR.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL SET, JIM?

[ WHISTLE BLOWS ]

GET THAT VEHICLE OFF THE STREET.

THERE'S A PARADE STARTING HERE.

GO ON!

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER, REVS ]

[ SIREN WAILING ]

[ WAILING CONTINUES ]

[ BAND PLAYING ]

ALL RIGHT, QUIET!

QUIET, FOLKS, QUIET!

MY BOY, THIS IS A PROUD DAY FOR MAYBERRY

AND ALTHOUGH YOU'VE BEEN GONE OH... THESE MANY MONTHS

YOU'VE REMAINED STEADFAST IN OUR HEARTS

AND WE'RE MIGHTY PROUD TO SEE YOU BACK HERE AGAIN

PROSPEROUS AND FAMOUS.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

WELL, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND FOLKS OF MAYBERRY.

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU

FOR THIS WONDERFUL WELCOME YOU'VE SHOWN ME, AND...

WELL, I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY EXCEPT THAT, UH...

WELL, YOU WERE AWFUL KIND TO ME WHEN I WASN'T DOING TOO WELL

AND NOW THAT I'M A BIT PROSPEROUS AND FAMOUS

LIKE THE MAYOR SAID...

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

WE'RE GOING TO GO ON BEING FRIENDS

THE SAME AS USUAL.

All: ALL RIGHT!

THANKS VERY MUCH, MAYOR.

THERE YOU ARE.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU FOR SUPPER TONIGHT, JIM.

WE'RE HAVING YOUR FAVORITE -- FRIED CHICKEN AND CORNBREAD.

OH, I'M GONNA BE THERE, AUNT BEE.

WE'LL SEE YA.

SUCCESS DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE GONE TO HIS HEAD.

NO, BOY. JIM'S A GOOD BOY.

PA, WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH ALL THIS CONFETTI?

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO THROW IT AT JIM.

I KNOW, BUT I FORGOT.

WELL, I RECKON YOU CAN THROW IT AT ME IF YOU WANT TO.

OKAY.

WELCOME HOME!

[ LAUGHS ] HOW'D THAT DO FOR YOU?

IT AIN'T THE SAME, PA.

YOU AIN'T BEEN ANYPLACE.

MM-MMM!

HOW MANY OF THESE THINGS YOU GOT?

OH, I GOT THREE.

OH, YOU ARE DOIN' WELL.

THEM'S SLICK-LOOKIN' DUDS YOU GOT ON THERE, TOO, JIM.

AIN'T THEY?

THESE ARE CUSTOM-MADE.

NO.

OH, YEAH. EVERY BIT OF 'EM.

YOU KNOW WHAT THE GUYS IN THE BAND CALL THIS?

A SET OF THREADS.

[ LAUGHING ] DID YOU HEAR THAT?

FELLAS IN THE BAND CALL THAT A SET OF THREADS.

IT'S A SUIT.

JIMMY, YOU NEVER DID TELL US

WHAT BROUGHT YOU BACK HERE.

OH, UH... TO RELAX.

REST, HUH?

YOU KNOW, UH, BEING A BIG STAR

ISN'T ALL SUNGLASSES AND AUTOGRAPHS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WHEN YOU GOT TO REPORT BACK TO THE BAND, JIM?

UH, YOU MEAN TO BOBBY FLEET? YEAH.

I'M NOT WITH HIM ANYMORE.

YOU AIN'T?

HOW COME? DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA.

IT'S JUST THAT I'M MOVING UP.

I WAS THE MAIN ATTRACTION.

I WAS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT IN ALL THE CROWDS,

SO I THOUGHT, "WHY SHOULD I MAKE ALL THAT MONEY FOR BOBBY FLEET?

"I SHOULD BE MAKING IT FOR JIM LINDSEY!"

SO, I JUST TOOK OUT ON MY OWN.

A-A-AND YOU'RE DOING GOOD, HUH?

OH, I'D HAVE TO BE FOUR FELLAS TO TAKE ALL THOSE OFFERS.

OH, NAW!

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

Andy: WELL, JIM, YOU SURE HAVE COME A LONG WAY

FROM JUST PLAYIN' GUITAR IN THE STREET.

HE USED TO PLAY ON THE STREET ALL THE TIME.

HOW DO YOU DO?

IS THERE A JIM LINDSEY HERE?

YES. JIMMY?

SOMEONE FOR YOU.

FOR ME?

IT'S ANOTHER OFFER. LOOK OUT, NOW.

EXCUSE ME.

[ CHUCKLES ]

MR. LINDSEY?

YES?

THEY TOLD ME AT THE HOTEL I'D FIND YOU HERE.

WELL, YES?

I'M FROM THE MID-MOUNTAIN FINANCE COMPANY.

COULD WE SPEAK OUT HERE?

MR. LINDSEY, I'M SURE YOU KNOW WHY I'M HERE.

YES, SIR, BUT IF YOU COULD JUST GIVE ME

A LITTLE MORE TIME...

I'M SORRY, BUT YOU'RE BEHIND THREE PAYMENTS.

UNLESS YOU'RE PREPARED TO MAKE THEM,

THE COMPANY WANTS THAT CAR.

BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY RIGHT NOW.

I'M TAPPED OUT. I DON'T HAVE A DIME.

BUT IF YOU'D JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE BREAK...

I'M SORRY. CAN I HAVE THE KEYS, PLEASE?

IF YOU COULD JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE MORE TIME.

SORRY, LINDSEY.

Andy: ...CUSTOM-MADE CLOTHES.

Aunt Bee: WHAT WAS IT HE CALLED IT AGAIN?

HE'S SUCH A GOOD BOY.

HE DOE LOOK GOOD.

HEY, WHAT WAS IT HE CALLED THAT SUIT?

A SET OF THREADS.

SET OF THREADS. WHO WAS THAT, JIM?

I BET IT WAS ANOTHER OFFER.

TURNED HIM DOWN, TOO, HUH?

[ VEHICLE DEPARTS ]

YEAH. YEAH, I TURNED HIM DOWN.

WELL, WE'D BETTER HEAR

ONE MORE GUITAR PIECE, HADN'T WE?

COME ON, JIM, PLAY US ONE MORE PIECE.

YOU'RE LIABLE TO LEAVE ANY TIME.

WE WON'T SEE YOU FOR AIN'T NO TELLIN' HOW LONG.

[ BLUES MUSIC PLAYS ]

THAT'S $4.60.

OH, DANG.

I'VE GONE AND LEFT MY WALLET UP AT THE HOTEL.

PUT THAT ON MY TAB, WILL YA, ELLIE?

OH, JIM.

THAT'S SWEET OF YA.

HOWDY, JIM.

OH, HELLO, ANDY.

DOING A LITTLE SHOPPING, I SEE.

HEY, WHERE'S YOUR CAR? I AIN'T SEEN IT AROUND.

UH... WELL, UH...

THEY PICKED IT UP FOR SERVICING.

YOU SEE, THAT'S A FOREIGN JOB

AND THEY CAN'T GET THOSE PARTS HERE IN MAYBERRY.

YEAH, I GUESS THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU BETTER TELL THEM TO GET IT FIXED IN A HURRY.

ONE OF THEM OFFERS COMES THROUGH SO GOOD

YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT, YOU'LL HAVE TO LIGHT OUT OF HERE IN A HURRY.

OH, WELL, I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.

THOSE OFFERS JUST KEEP POURING IN.

I'M JUST WAITING FOR THE BEST ONE.

THAT'S THE TYPE.

I'D BETTER GET OVER TO THE HOTEL.

CHECK MY MAIL.

I'LL SEE YOU.

BYE. BYE.

BOY, IT SURE IS GOOD HAVIN' OLD JIM BACK IN TOWN.

ANDY, THERE'S SOMETHING

I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU ABOUT JIM.

HE'S BEEN BUYING A LOT OF THINGS

AND JUST CHARGING THEM.

WELL, THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' WRONG WITH THAT.

NO, I GUESS NOT, BUT THE POINT IS,

IF HE'S AS PROSPEROUS AS HE SAYS HE IS

WHY DOESN'T HE PAY FOR ANYTHING HE BUYS?

DIDN'T HE PAY YOU FOR ANYTHING?

NOT A PENNY.

NOW, I KNOW HE'S A GOOD FRIEND OF YOURS,

BUT, WELL, AFTER ALL, I DID JUST MEET HIM

AND, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY.

YEAH, WELL... THAT IS A LITTLE STRANGE.

OH, I-I SUPPOSE I SHOULDN'T WORRY,

BUT IT'S RUNNING INTO QUITE A BILL.

WELL, I WOULDN'T WORRY.

JIM'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

WELL, I'D BETTER GET BACK OVER TO THE COURTHOUSE.

I JUST THOUGHT I'D STOP BY AND SAY GOOD MORNING.

BYE.

BYE-BYE.

HOWDY, BOYS.

OH, HOWDY, ANDY.

I JUST RUN INTO JIM LINDSEY AT THE DRUG STORE.

SURE IS GOOD HAVING HIM BACK IN TOWN AGAIN, AIN'T IT?

YEAH.

YEAH, GOOD TO SEE OLD JIM.

YEAH.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, ANDY, UH...

JASE AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT JIM.

AND, UH, YOU KNOW SOMETHIN'?

WHAT?

WELL, JIM HAS, UH...

WELL, HE'S... HE'S KIND OF CHANGED.

YEAH? HOW?

WELL, HE COMES IN QUITE OFTEN, YES,

AND HE HAS NEVER ONCE PAID FOR A HAIRCUT OR A SHAVE.

HE JUST SAYS, UH, "PUT IT ON MY TAB."

HE DOES, HUH?

HI.

OH, HI, BARN.

AS LONG AS WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT

I MIGHT AS WELL TELL YOU--

HE HASN'T PAID HIS HOTEL BILL YET.

REALLY?

I LEAVE HIS HOTEL BILL IN HIS BOX EVERY DAY.

HE JUST IGNORES IT.

I'LL BE DOGGED.

YOU FELLAS TALKIN' ABOUT JIM LINDSEY?

I DON'T MIND HIS CHARGIN' THINGS.

IT'S JUST... IT'S JUST HIS ATTITUDE.

AW, WAIT A MINUTE, FELLAS.

I THINK YOU'RE ALL JUMPIN' TO CONCLUSIONS.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING, DO YOU, BARN?

WELL, ONE THING I DO KNOW IS JIM LINDSEY'S OKAY.

IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR MONEY,

JUST FORGET IT.

WHAT MAKES YOU SO CERTAIN?

BECAUSE ANY DAY NOW

JIM'S GONNA GET A NICE, GREAT BIG ROYALTY CHECK.

WHEN HE DOES, HE'LL HAVE MONEY TO BURN.

WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

JIM.

WHEN?

WHEN I LOANED HIM THE MONEY.

YOU LOANED JIM SOME MONEY, DID YOU?

WELL, YEAH.

HE SAID HE NEEDED $10... AND ALL HE HAD WAS BIG BILLS.

YOU SEE? HIM, TOO.

UH, JASE, HOW MUCH MAIL DOES JIM GET?

MAIL?

YOU GET THE MAIL IN EVERY MORNING.

HOW MANY LETTERS HAS JIM GOT SINCE HE'S BEEN HERE?

NARY A ONE.

LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET AHOLD OF BOBBY FLEET.

WHO? WHO?

DON'T ASK SO MANY STUPID QUESTIONS, BOYS.

THIS IS LAWMAN'S WORK.

Andy: APPRECIATE YOUR COMIN' HERE, MR. FLEET.

IT'S A LONG WAYS.

NOT IF YOU GET A GOOD GUITARIST OUT OF IT.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK LINDSEY WANTS BACK WITH MY BAND?

JUST A NOTION. WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU-ALL?

WE HEARD HE WAS DOING FINE WITH YOU.

HE WAS. HE WAS DOING JUST GREAT

TILL HIS HEAD BLEW UP.

YOU WANT TO HEAR THE PAYOFF?

HE WANTED ME TO TAKE HIM IN AS A PARTNER,

CHANGE THE NAME OF THE BAND TO FLEET AND LINDSEY.

WHAT'D YOU DO?

WHAT COULD I DO?

GOT OURSELVES INTO A SLIGHT LITTLE HASSLE

AND I CALLED HIM A NO-TALENT BUM.

MM.

I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT,

BUT HONESTLY, HE JUST KEPT BUGGING ME.

AND THAT'S WHY HE WENT OUT ON HIS OWN?

YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF A COCKY KID HE IS.

HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO GO OUT AND MAKE IT AS A SINGLE.

NATURALLY, HE BOMBED OUT.

ALONE, HE'S FROM NOWHERESVILLE.

THAT'S PROBABLY WHY HE CAME BACK HERE--

THIS IS THE ONLY TOWN LEFT THAT'D GIVE HIM A FREE MEAL.

HE DON'T HAVE TO STAY BROKE.

HE COULD START MAKING IT AGAIN.

YOU'D TAKE HIM BACK?

SURE, I'D TAKE HIM BACK IF THE CRAZY CHARACTER

WOULD FORGET HIS PRIDE LONG ENOUGH TO SAY YES

AND STOP TRYIN' TO CROWD ME.

YOU JUST STAY RIGHT HERE

AND I'LL SEE IF I CAN'T FETCH YOU ONE GUITAR PLAYER.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ] COME IN.

HOWDY, JIM.

OH, HELLO, ANDY.

LEAVIN' US?

WELL, UH...

I'M USED TO THOSE ONE-NIGHT STANDS, YOU KNOW.

I STAY IN ONE PLACE TOO LONG, I GET ITCHY FEET.

WELL, WHERE YOU HEADED?

WELL, I GOT OFFERS FROM ALL OVER--

CHICAGO, NEW ORLEANS... COULD BE ANYPLACE.

JIM, I JUST SAW BOBBY FLEET.

YOU SAW BOBBY?

HERE IN MAYBERRY?

WONDER WHAT HE'S DOING HERE?

OH, I KNOW. HE...

HE KNOWS I'M ON MY OWN NOW AND DOIN' GREAT.

HE... PROBABLY WANTS ME TO COME BACK WITH HIS BAND.

THAT'LL BE THE DAY WHEN I JOIN THAT TWO-BIT OUTFIT.

JIM, I NOT ONLY SAW BOBBY FLEET.

I HAD A TALK WITH HIM.

YOU TALKED WITH HIM?

YEAH.

THEN YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, THEN, DON'T YOU?

WELL, WHAT'D YOU...

WHAT'D YOU PUT ON SUCH A BIG ACT FOR?

WHAT'D YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?

COME BACK TO MY OWN HOMETOWN AND SAY

"COME ON, FOLKS.

COME LOOK AT YOUR HOMETOWN FAILURE."

I THINK YOU'RE

KIND OF UNDERESTIMATING YOUR FRIENDS A LITTLE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WASN'T YOU TREATED PRETTY GOOD BEFORE YOU LEFT?

AND YOU WASN'T A BIG STAR OR NOTHIN'.

WHY SHOULD FOLKS THINK ANY LESS OF YOU NOW?

WHAT'S IT MATTER WHAT THEY THINK?

I'M LEAVIN' ANYWAY.

JIM, BOBBY FLEET WANTS YOU BACK WITH THE BAND.

YOU MEAN HE WANTS ME TO COME BACK AND EAT CROW, DON'T YA?

WELL, NOT ME, NOT JIM LINDSEY. NO, SIR.

WON'T YOU EVEN TALK TO HIM?

NO. IN FACT, I'M CUTTIN' OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW.

YOU SURE ARE BULLHEADED, AIN'T YA?

WELL, I'LL HAVE TO TAKE MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS.

JIM, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

ARREST? FOR WHAT?

LEAVIN' TOWN WITHOUT PAYIN' YOUR BILLS.

WELL... I LEFT THIS WATCH, ANDY.

IT'LL... IT'LL COVER ALL MY BILLS, MORE THAN COVER THEM.

WELL, THEN YOU'RE UNDER ARREST

FOR NOT LEAVIN' TOWN FAST ENOUGH.

LET'S GO.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

I-I WOULD'VE BEEN GONE

IF YOU HADN'T KEPT ME HERE YAPPIN'.

NO FLIMSY EXCUSES. LET'S GO.

ANDY, THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

YEAH, THESE BABIES COME IN MIGHTY HANDY.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

ANDY, WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE?

HE'S A VAGRANT, GOT A LOT OF UNPAID BILLS--

I'M LOCKIN' HIM UP.

I'LL SQUARE IT. HOW MUCH DOES HE OWE?

DON'T BOTHER.

I'M NOT TAKIN' ANY HANDOUTS FROM YOU.

WHO SAYS THIS IS A HANDOUT?

IT'S COMIN' OUT OF YOUR FIRST WEEK'S CHECK.

WHO SAYS I'M WORKIN' FOR YOU?

AW, COME ON. HOW MUCH DOES HE OWE YOU?

YOU CALLED ME A NO-TALENT BUM.

I APOLOGIZE, OKAY?

NOW, HOW MUCH DOES HE OWE YOU?

WELL, I'D SAY $75 WOULD COVER IT NICE.

OKAY. THERE YOU ARE.

NOW, YOU SEE? YOU GOTTA WORK FOR ME.

YOU'RE INTO ME FOR TOO MUCH LOOT.

IN FACT, I FIGURE

YOU MISSED ABOUT 30 HOURS OF REHEARSAL

SO I MAY HAVE TO FINE YOU ANOTHER 50 BUCKS.

50 BUCKS?!

BUT I MAY HAVE TO GIVE YOU A RAISE

SO YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY ME BACK ALL THE LOOT YOU OWE ME.

A RAISE?

ARE YOU KIDDIN', BOBBY?

WELL, DON'T JUST STAND THERE LIKE A NINNY.

COME ON OUT AND SHAKE ON IT BEFORE HE CHANGES HIS MIND.

THANK YOU.

A-ANDY, I'VE BEEN A REAL...

JIM, YOU BETTER GET TO WORK.

YOU GOT A SET OF THREADS, AND A LITTLE RED CAR

AND THREE GUITARS TO FEED.

YEAH.

ACT LIKE YOU GOT SOME SMART, NOW.

[ UP-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS ]

OH, THAT WAS SOME KIND OF EXTRA GOOD.

HOW ABOUT IT?

AIN'T IT GOOD TO SEE BOBBY AND JIMMY TOGETHER AGAIN?

IT SURE IS.

SAY, WHY DON'T I JOIN YOU IN THE NEXT NUMBER, HUH?

WHAT'LL IT BE, "I'M JUST A VAGABOND LOVER"?

"ROLL OUT THE BARREL"? "MAIRZY DOATS"?

"TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS"?
