Come to think of it, I recollect her saying something about an engagement, Granny.

Double hogwash.

If she shows up here, I'll woodshed the both of them.

Look, I'm telling you the truth.

That big kid Jethro was sitting right here.

And when I came out of your office, he jumped up, grabbed me, put me on his truck, and drove me out to his Uncle Jed's mansion, where I was promised an engagement.

Jethro is a headstrong, impetuous lad given to irresponsible behavior at times.

But I assure you, Mr. Clampett would never engage the likes of you.

How come you never spoke up about this before?

Well, I knew Granny was a ginner.

I was afraid you might be too.

So I thought I'd run off and marry her and live happy ever after.

Jethro, it takes two people to make a happy ever after marriage.

What makes you think that Miss Chickadee is in love with you?

Well, she loves me enough to get engaged.

Well, you owe her how happy she was about that.

Get yourself another raccoon, but not for the banker's convention.

I don't think the act is suitable.

Oh, so you're backing out on me too, just like the Clampetts did.

The Clampetts?
