Kitty is just opening the Longbranch, when Festus comes in,all smiles, and spurs a'jagglin'. "OH BURY ME NOT ON THE LONE PRAIRIE, THE OLD CHISHOLM TRAIL will be just fine with me♫"
Kitty: "Festus, you have a beautiful voice,you know that?"
Festus: "Why thank you, Miss Kitty. Old Matthew doesn't think so, I'll tell ya that.He jes kicked me out of his office ..'pears I was breakin' up his thinking."
Just then, himself, walks in....
Matt: "Hello Kitty. 'lo Festus. Sorry about my grumpiness....I had to write a letter to the REVEREND MR.BLACK. I finally finished. How about a beer, as my way of apologizing?"
Festus:" Oh, fiddle, Matthew, you don't need to do that."
Matt: "Well, if you don't want one," he says, smiling.
Festus: "Well, now, I didn't say that, ...I , well,...
Meanwhile, Doc has joined the group.
Doc:" For heaven's sake, hush up and take the drink." He rubs his face, as he always does when talking with anyone that has a lower IQ than a tumbling tumbleweed.
Festus: "You old, scudder! I'm a fixin' to....smart aleck."
They all sit down at the table for a little early afternoon chat.
Doc: " Matt. Did you soak that arm last night, like I suggested?"
Matt: "No, Doc...I DID IT MY WAY. I got a good night's sleep. It's fine,now."
Kitty: "Surprise, surprise! He did it HIS way!"
Doc and Festus could see that there was a storm a brewin'.
Doc: "Festus. Finish up that beer and come take a walk with me."
Festus: "Take a WALK with you?! Why would I wanna do that?"
Doc: "Because I said so. We'll see you two later."
Festus leaves with Doc, grumbling the whole time.
Festus: "Why in the tarnation are we going to take a walk?" Just then a pack of dogs come ambling over."GET ALONG LITTLE DOGGIES."
Doc: "OH, hush up, would ya! Matt and Kitty needed some time alone...that's why!" He rubs his face again.
Festus: "Doc, why is it you're always a rubbin' that face of yers?"
Doc looks at him, rubs his face again,shakes his head and walks away.
Festus: "He's gettin' a scarier and a scarier all the time." Meanwhile, back with Matt and Kitty...
Matt: " Kitty...you mad at me or something?"
Kitty: "Matt, THERE'S A CHURCH IN THE VALLEY, over by Hayes City. YOu meet me there Saturday, 11am, or ELSE!"
Matt: "Why do you want to meet there?What are you talking about??"
Kitty: " Listen...we've been doing whatEVER it is we've been doing, LONG enough! Either we get married, or you get your free beer at another bar!!"
Matt's knee involuntarily pops up and almost knocks the table over.
Matt: "Get married?! Now hold on, here, Kitty. We've discussed this time and time again. You know that...
Kitty: " We have not disCUSSED it!! You keep talking about your damn job and before I can get a word in edge wise, you're out the door,riding off to get shot somewhere...living me here, left to worry to death!!"
Matt sees one of those dogs that was outside. It has come over to his side.
Matt: " OH! SHENANDOAH, how you doin', boy?"
Kitty: "That's it, I'm out of here!"
As she starts to leave, Matt gets up and grabs her arm.
Kitty: "Let go! I'm through talking!"
Matt: "Me,too." He picks her up in his arms and carries her upstairs to her room. In a few minutes the walls begin to shake as Matt lets out a high pitched, "Yippee Ky AAAAAAAAAA."
