Understanding Through Unusual Hobbies
Kent:
Mr. Destry, before we start drinking, I think you and me oughta come to an understanding.
Destry:
Well, I'm all for folks understandin each other. That's a mighty fine idea, Mr. Kent.
Kent:
I'm glad you agree with me. So I'll start by telling you that I have a very peculiar hobby.
Destry:
So have I. Mine's carvin napkin rings. What's yours?
Kent: [The saloon empties out]
Mine's collectin deputy sheriff's guns. Whenever I meet a new deputy, I always ask him for his gun. And I ask em real nice.
Destry:
Well, I'm sorry Mr. Kent, I'm afraid this here's one gun your collection's gonna be minus.
Kent:
You mean I'm gonna have to take it?
Destry: [Kent laughs]
If you can. Now hold on, hold on. Don't get excited here. I was just tryin to tell ya that I ain't got any guns. You see, if I would have had a gun there, why, one of us might have got hurt - and it might have been me. I wouldn't like that, would I?
Bugs:
Tweet, tweet. I'm a canary. Where's my cage?
Gyp:
It's gettin sunny. Where's my parasol?
Kent:
Folks - seems like we got a deputy that knows what's good for him. If he don't carry a gun, he can't get into any trouble. And if anybody comes to you, you come to Uncle.
Destry:
I'll remember that, Mr. Kent.
Kent: [They turn and face the bar]
What'll you have, deputy?
Loupgerou:
Milk?
Destry:
Yeah, I think I will.
Frenchy: [hands Destry a broom and a wooden bucket full of water]
I can see now how you cleaned up Tombstone. You can start right here - and don't forget the corners.
