I recently watched (for, I dunno, the 5,000,000,000,000th time) a favorite Beverly Hillbillies episode, Brewster’s Honeymoon. This episode originally aired in the third season of The Beverly Hillbillies. Mr. Brewster and his fiance’, Edith, are about to be married and Jed and Granny devise a perfect honeymoon… in their cabin outback.
Perfect for Hillbillies isn’t perfect for millionaires, and it makes for a ridiculously funny episode.
Mr. Brewster: Edith is giving up a very successful career to become my wife. She’s a famous New York Decorator.
Jed: Well, I ain’t never seen New York but if you decorate it, I betcha it’s mighty pretty.
Jethro and Jed surprise Mr. and Mrs. Brewster by picking them up at the honeymoon. Instead of the limousine they were expecting to take them to their swanky hotel, they get the Clampett’s car – destination, cabin.
Jed: They’re surprised alright. Just look at their faces.
Jethro: They’s cuddling again, hee heee…
Granny: Well, you like pigs, dontcha?
Edith (stammering): Well, yes… yes… of course. They’re charming.
Granny: Well. Some is… and some ain’t.
Amid all of the honeymoon and wedding festivities, all Mr. Drysdale is worried about is the lea$e and getting it $igned.
Jed: You’re just in time to congratulate Mr. Brewster.
Mr. Drysdale: Ooh! You got the leases signed! Congratulations!
Jed: No, I mean on getting married. I ain’t signed no lease.
Mr. Drysdale: You ain’t?
Mr. Brewster: Well, Mr. Clampett, if we could get that little matter over with…
Jed: Now, Mr. Brewster, we ain’t going to talk business on your wedding night.
Mr. Brewster: We ain’t?
Mrs. Brewster comes running in at this point, thinking she and her honeymoon are saved.
Mrs. Brewster: John, Mr. Drysdale has his limousine out front. He can take us to our hotel!
Jed: Mrs. Brewster, you ain’t spending your honeymoon in no hotel.
Mrs. Brewster: I ain’t?
Mr. Drysdale, Mr. Brewster, and Jed: No, you ain’t.
