It combines drama, pathos, suspense.

Listen to my story about a man named Jed, a poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.

And then one day he was shooting at some food, and up threw the ground from a bubble and crewed.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well, the first thing you know, old Jed's a millionaire.

The kinfolk said, Jed, move away from there.

Said, California's the place you ought to be.

So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly Hills, that is.

Swimming poos, movie stars.

The Beverly Hillbilly.

Granny, just wait till you see how pretty Cousin Bessie looks.

It'll cheer you right up.

Come on, Skip.

That's in Cousin Bessie.

Oh, Granny, ain't Cousin Bessie cute?

Stop calling that monkey cousin.

Well, she's Skipper's cousin.

Get him out of here.

Well, Granny, I thought you was lonesome for company.

Not that kind of company.
