04x22 - Birds Gotta Fly

Post by bunniefuu »

'Yee-haw!'

Ain't nothing surer than sunrise

lest it's Bo and Luke
mashing pedal to metal

in a cross-country
challenge from another driver.

And when that other
driver is cousin Daisy

you can bet there's
gonna be some firewallin'.

Y'all ready to quit before
I b*at the tar outta you?

We're still gonna b*at you
to the other side of the gully.

- The race ain't over yet.
- Alright. But I warned you.

There's some kinda country
race we got goin' on over there.

And will you look at the way
that girl's handlin' that jeep.

'You know, somethin' tells me'

'drivin' through
this cow country'

might been the luckiest
shortcut we ever took.

That girl's good alright.

'A little training
and who knows.'

'She might be able to
cut it on the pro circuit.'

I don't know about that.

Might be worth
a try to sign her.

I can always give
her a crash course.

That's what it might turn out to
be if you rush, a crash course.

Crashes ain't the
worst thing 'bout racin'

long as you make sure
they happen to the other guy.

Somethin' tells
me that little lady

might just make us a
real good meal ticket.

Dang.

Real dang funny.

Now who was gonna b*at
who to the far side of the gully.

Oh, wait a minute,
nobody b*at nobody.

Besides, nobody said nothin'
about takin' a shortcut neither.

Nobody said nothin'
about not takin' 'em either.

Now, friends and
neighbors, that kind of logic

is why women live
longer than men.

I saw it, boys. I
saw the whole thing.

She was just too smart for you.

Now, hold on a second,
lady, this is just aprivate..

Ain't I seen you
somewhere before?

You might've seen my
picture in the newspapers.

I'm Molly Hargrove.

Molly Hargrove,
the NASCAR driver?

How do you do? Nice to meet you.

I'm Bo Duke, this is Luke Duke,
my cousin and-and Daisy Duke.

- 'How you doing?'
- Hi.

Imagine meeting
a real celebrity.

Well, make that ex-celebrity.

My eyesight isn't good enough
for stock car racin' anymore.

You could've fooled us by
the looks of what you're towin'.

Actually, I'm-I'm lookin'
for somebody to train

to take my place on the circuit.

And from what I just saw
you do, I think I have found her.

You interested?

Of course, she is.

Yeah, anybody'd
give their eye teeth

to get an opportunity like that.

Hold on, fellas, I ain't nowhere
near good enough to turn pro.

Supposin' I was to show
you how wrong you are

would you consider it then?

Well..

Honey, let me tell
you a little secret now.

A good river can always
make a bundle on the circuit

but a good lady driver,
well, that's double box office.

And, uh, that's real
money. What d'ya say?

- She'll do it.
- Bo!

What exactly you got in mind
to prove Daisy how good she is?

Say, a little cross-country
race to build up her confidence.

Daisy against three or four
of the best drivers inHazzard.

'Would you boys
be willin' to enter?'

Well, uh, sure!

Provided that Daisy doesn't
use anymore of her shortcuts.

Good. I'm gonna go find
me the local bank in town

and I'll meet you
back here in an hour

provided you can come up
with a couple more drivers.

- Okay.
- Okay. I'm goin'.

Bye-bye. Nice to meet you.

Yeah.

Hey, what about
Rosco and Cletus?

We've been teachin'
'em. They're pretty good.

We can't ask 'em.
They're on duty.

All they're doin' is speed
trappin' unsuspectin' motorists

over on Old Mill Road.

Well, that's their
favorite pastime.

How're you gonna get 'em
to come out and race us?

Let's say I don't plan to give
'em much choice. Let's hit it.

Now, Molly'd been scouting
for a girl driver so long

that she'd run
plum out of money.

A situation landin' her right
into Boss Hogg's bread basket

which was hard to miss.

So what brings you to
this neck of the woods

our little town of Hazzard?

Let's just say I have somethin'
real big on the backburner.

On the backburner.

I need about $
to tide me over

till it comes up to a boil.

Well, honey, I sure can
let you have the money

uh, but seein' that you're
a stranger around here

I'm gonna have to add
a little bitty extra interest

of, say, uh, %.

I must've come
to the wrong place.

Thanks anyway, Mr. Hogg.

Now, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

I said that was
a stranger's rate

but seein' that we've
introduced ourselves

I could make that
interest of, say, %.

- Still not interested.
- Hold on! Hold on!

Well, now that we've
introduced ourselves

and talked everything over,
uh, how about a special rate

for old friends?
Eighteen percent.

That's my last offer.

- You've got yourself a deal.
- Alright.

Of course, that is old
friends with the right collateral.

You, uh, do have
collateral, don't you?

How about the
pink slip on my car?

Oh. That'll do just fine.

- The money.
- Oh. The money.

Here we go. One
thousand simoleans.

Been nice doing business
with you, Mr. Hogg.

Likewise I'm sure.

I'll be back later to
sign the loan papers.

Oh, well, no hurry. As
long as I got your pink slip.

Now, what we're looking at is
the beginnin' of a country race

to see if Daisy can cut
it on the pro racin' circuit.

Luke, this is Molly.

If this is your idea of a
joke, it ain't very funny.

'When does the race begin?'

Just don't worry, Molly.
We're almost at the startin' line.

What about the other two cars?

They'll be waitin'.
That there is a promise.

Luke, I just ran smack dab
up against Rosco's detour sign.

Alright. That means Rosco
and Cletus can't be far away.

'Keep on rollin'.'

'It's working! It's working!'

That's a $ fine from
each one of them Dukes

and at least from
whoever's in that motor home.

- 'Oh. Let's move.'
- 'Yes, sir.'

Alright, you
Dukes, just freeze it

'cause you're under arrest for
trespassin' on private property.

Sorry, Rosco, but seein'
as how you snookered us

into breakin' the law, we
ain't gonna be hangin' around

long enough to trespass.

Bye-bye.

Molly, I think we
got ourselves a race.

Keep goin'.

Ooh!

She's huggin' the inside
lane as if she owned it.

With that kind of drivin',
she'll own every track

on the circuit,
and we'll own her!

Sure, for as long as
she stays in one piece.

Ease off, sheriff, we'll
never catch her this way.

Are you kiddin' me? Cletus,
you just keep followin' her.

I'll try to cut her off.

- Back off, Rosco.
- Don't tell me to back off.

I'm about to get
myself a female Duke.

Ooh!

Looks like Rosco
and Cletus are okay.

I don't think Boss' gonna be
when he hears about this one.

That should've
convinced the little lady

she can drive with
the best of 'em.

Now, it'll be up to me to make
sure she does it on our terms.

You call this drivin'?

I can walk home
faster than this.

'Get a move on or I'm
gonna give you a ticket'

'for obstructing traffic.'

'That does it, Rosco.'

You don't cool it with
that backseat drivin'

I'm gonna leave you smack
dab in the middle of the highway

and you can arrest
yourself for obstructing traffic.

Do you read me? I'm gone.

What? Argh! Listen.

It's bad enough you
done me outta them

$ no trespassin' fines

but you also let the
Dukes make fools outta you

and that's the same as
makin' a fool outta me.

We didn't mean to, Cousin Boss.

I would've caught that
Daisy Duke in a split second

if she hadn't been driving
that Molly Hargrove's racin' car.

If she hadn't been drivin' what?

That racing car. It's yellow.

It's got numbers on
it. Boy, that thing..

I know what it looks
like, knucklehead.

I'm holdin' the pink slip on it.

Well, then how come
Daisy Duke's drivin' it?

That's what I aim to find out.

Cletus, how'd you like to get
yourself over to the Duke farm

'and do a little detectivin'?'

You mean, undercover?

On the Q.T?

- Sub roses?
- I don't care what you call it.

Just find out what them
two females is up to.

Wait. Just stop for a
pea-pickin' minute, Boss.

I'm the commanding
officer of this department.

How come I don't
get to do the spyin'?

Because you're
gonna be too busy.

Yeah, I w... I
will? See, I will.

- Doin' what?
- Doin' what?

Well, while Cletus is
spyin', you're gonna be hidin'.

- Ooh, I love that.
- Yeah.

Until you can spot and
arrest 'em Duke boys

on the charge of
destroyin' county property.

Namely, your patrol car.

- Ooh, yeah!
- And that's a $ fine.

- And a year in the pokey.
- Ooh, that's brilliant!

Yeah. You take this
bottle right to the bartender

and tell him to
sell this one first.

Okay. Sell this one first.

Uh, Boss, what
if he can't sell it?

- Use it to clean the windows.
- No!

Jump!

Aahh!

Ooh!

In case, y'all lost track,
Cletus' the one with the hat.

Window!

You'd make a sensational
stock car racer, Daisy.

You drive like you was
born behind the wheel.

Oh, my! That's so flatterin'.

But tearin' around
Hazzard County's

nowhere near NASCAR racin'.

That's where I come in.

As your manager, I could
show you all the shortcuts.

Teach you everythin' I
ever learnt on the circuit.

Oh, Molly, you make
it sound so temptin'!

Well, then give me
one good reason

why you can't accept my offer.

I'll give you three
good reasons.

My Uncle Jesse and the boys.

They're more than just family.

They're my best friends.

Just the thought of leavin'
them makes me feel awful.

It wouldn't be forever.

And the tracks we're startin'
on ain't too far from here.

You could come home
and they could visit you.

I got a job at the Boar's Nest.

It ain't much of a job

but every bit of
money that I can make

we can use it around here
and Boss Hogg depends on me

'and I just can't quit on him.'

'I mean I ain't the
quitting type, Molly.'

- None of us Dukes are.
- Okay.

Them weasel's are
gettin' sneakier every time.

We were fine till
we got to the creek.

Lucky he didn't double back
and clean out while we were there.

Maybe we..

Rosco and varmint. We've
got ourselves another..

Aah! Don't sh**t.

I surrender!

I'm okay.

You've got some
tall explainin' to do.

Just drop your
hands. Start talkin'.

Alright. Freeze.

Cletus, don't you
say a mumblin' word.

Alright, you Dukes!

You're under arrest.

This time you're not
gonna get off the hook.

Now put your hands up.

Put 'em up high. Not you, Jesse.

Rosco, what kinda trumped-up
charge you got for us this time?

I'll tell you what kinda
trumped-up charge.

It's $ or a year in prison.

Well, since the Dukes
got more time than money

it looks bad, don't it?

'I'll tell you what
trumped-up charge.'

It's-it's $
or a year in jail.

That's for destroying
my patrol car.

- You did that on your own.
- That don't make no difference.

You still scuffed
county property.

Cletus, just cuff
'em and stuff 'em.

Sorry, guys.

We're sorry, Cletus.

'Get off of me.'

Just get on there.

'Get up. There
they go. Get those..'

Alright. Come back here. Freeze!

Cletus, will you stop that?

Alright! You might
as well give up

'cause I'll track you to
the ends of the Earth.

- Or even farther.
- Or even far..

Rosco, I do hope you're
gettin' paid by the month.

It's gonna take you an awful
long time to catch up with us.

Oh, no. O-o-h!

Oh, no!

'Get out of my way!'

Yeah, they're alright.

At least we got
us a little time.

Let's go over to Jensen's Cave
and raise Uncle Jesse on CB.

- You got it.
- We need all the help.

'Hey, y'all I really
appreciate the business.'

Let me tell you between this
and that job y'all got me while ago

I gathered the down payment
for a brand new grease rag.

'Listen, I'm down and gone.
Y'all holler if you need me.'

So far Boss was batting .

The boys got away from
Rosco for the time bein'.

But ol' Cletus' spyin'
was just about to pay off.

I mean a girl that pretty who
drives as good as she looks.

Oh, she'll make a fortune!

It ain't gonna work, Cousin
Boss, Daisy's t... achoo!

Oh! Won't you watch it?

- And bless you.
- Daisy turned her down.

She ain't gonna quit
her job at the Boar's Nest.

Why that dear sweet child.

Passin' up fame and
fortune outta loyalty to me.

Oh, I'm touched.

I think I'm going to give
her a big nice reward.

Before I cut myself in.

A reward? I think you
have been touched.

You know, givin' a
reward to a Duke.

'What kinda reward?'

I'm going to give her the sack.

And while you're
chasing Bo and Luke Duke

I'm gonna fire
their cousin, Daisy.

- Ooh, that's cold.
- Ooh!

- A-achoo!
- A-ah! Watch it, watch it!

- I got some wood.
- Alright!

Tell me, Daisy, why exactly
did Boss fire you anyways?

Close as I can tell, for puttin'
too much beer in the glasses

or not enough salt
on the free peanuts.

In other words, 'cause
you're too honest. Right?

'Oh! It doesn't
make any difference.'

Girl can't spend her whole
life waitin' tables at Boar's Nest.

What she's trying
to tell us is that

that Molly person wants to
sign her to a racin' contract.

- Hey, that's great!
- Now, just a minute.

That NASCAR racin'
could be dangerous.

Uncle Jesse, ain't you ever read

about all the farmers
who get hurt every year?

It doesn't make any difference.

I'm not going with
you boys on the run.

Daisy, you'd be doin'
a favor by leavin' town.

Bo!

Well, I mean that say if
Rosco catches us, puts us in jail

we could use your
prize money to make bail.

- That' a fact.
- I don't know what to think.

Sounds like y'all will
be glad to get rid of me.

Uncle Jesse, you sound
like you don't want me to go.

No, no. That ain't true at all.

Listen, baby,
every bird's gotta fly.

And if you think that right
now is the time for you to

spread your wings and take off..

That's your choice and
none of us will say nay.

'So whether you go
or whether you stay'

you do it with our blessing
'cause we love you.

With Daisy all set
to sign the contract

and leave Hazzard
the next mornin'

Boss was makin' sure that
she wouldn't get very far.

When this situation
come up, well

I just naturally thought
of you two boys.

Figures. The last situation
we took care of for you

is still runnin'.

Who do we come
down hard on this time?

It ain't a who. No, I don't
want nobody hurt. No, sir.

The what I'm hiring you
to come down hard on

is Molly Hargrove's racin' car.

Yeah. It's yellow with
numbers on the doors.

You'll find it at the Duke farm.

Why you want us to wreck it?

Because racin' cars cost
money, which is somethin'

that Molly Hargrove
ain't got much of.

So she'll have to come
to me for another loan.

Which he ain't gonna give her.

Not unless she cuts me in
on Daisy Duke's racin' contract.

Oh, yeah.

- You boys want that job?
- How much are you payin'?

How much?

This much.

Ooh!

Uh-uh, uh-uh.

Half now and the rest
when you finish the job.

Think we can trust him?

Considerin' he knows
what'll happen to him..

If he pulls something
funny on us.

Hey, thanks for breakin' them.

Listen, you don't have to
worry about those gorillas.

Listen, Boss, you have
plenty of money to pay 'em

'cause we got Daisy Duke
contract right in the bag.

Yeah, well, it ain't in the bag.

- It ain't?
- Sure ain't.

Not while Bo and Luke
Duke are on the loose.

Listen, don't you worry
about Bo and Luke Duke

'cause I'm gonna
cuff 'em and stuff 'em.

'Look, I'm not even
askin' you to do that.'

'Keep 'em on the run.'

Because if they're
too busy duckin' you

then they'll be too
busy to stop me

from takin' over Daisy
Duke's racin' career.

Oh, would you please put
them down right over here?

That's it. I'll show
you how it's done.

Rosco figured Bo and Luke
would have to come sooner or later

so he had Cletus
waitin' to head 'em off

in case they tried
to reach the farm.

Now, the boys kinda figured
that's what ol' Boss would do.

You see, "Know your enemy
like the land you fight on"

is an ol' Confederate sayin'
amongst ol' Confederates

and there was a
bunch of 'em in Hazzard.

Ah-ha!

Hey! My car's movin'!
Come back here!

Ye-e-oww!

My car!

Oh, no!

Oh, no. Are you alright?

Alright. I've got a customer.

You make lot of money
in Hazzard County

with a wrecker if you
follow the Duke boys around.

Oh, come on, just get
me out of here, will you?

There you are, boss lady.

Daisy, you ain't never gonna
regret signin' this contract.

I sure hope you're right.

'Course, she is. You can't miss.

Sure. We taught her
to drive ourselves.

- We did.
- That's right.

This is Rosco P. Coltrane
calling his little fat buddy.

'Good news! Good news!'

Them sneaky
polecats that you hired

done done what you
told them to done.

Good, good. Now, you
let me know the minute

that Daisy starts
to fly the coop.

'That's a big ten-four.'

If there ain't no objections,
we best be startin' off.

Well, I can't yet.

I haven't had enough
time to say goodbye.

Well, there never is
enough time for that, so let's..

- Yeah, let us go.
- I'll get your bags.

You'll be alright?

Oh, listen, Boss, it's DDD Day.

Daisy Duke Departin' Day!

'The Duke boys just showed
up to give her a bon bon voyage.'

- You want me to catch 'em?
- No, don't you grab nothin'.

Listen, you just keep your
eyes peeled for that racin' car

until our little plan
pays off. Then, grab 'em.

It's just that I still don't
know if I should be going.

What if Rosco was
to catch you y'all?

Oh, don't even think about it.

He's been tryin' to make loose
charges stick on us for forever.

We're not gonna start
makin' them stick now.

Speed it up, Daisy. We gotta
make Capitol City by noon.

Uncle Jesse, I
don't know if I...

Now-now-now, baby

there's no use
wastin' time on tears.

You just remember that for
every road leadin' away from home

there's always two leadin' back.

You, uh..

Take care of yourself, hear?

It's a promise to y'all.

You bet.

Don't forget this.
Take care of yourself.

Take care of our
girl now, alright?

Bein' Dukes, Bo and
Luke wanted to give Daisy

a little moral support
by escortin' her

to the county line.

'For a girl who's about to take
the NASCAR circuit by storm'

you sure ain't very cheerful.

Oh, I can't help it.

We've only been gone minutes

and, Molly, it already
feels like hundred years.

'Molly!'

Morgan, turn this thing
around. We lost the car!'

The car's broke loose.
It's comin' right at us.

- 'Come on, Luke' -
Bo, go steady now.

'When I get there, you
just watch your step, alright.'

- 'Watch your step.'
- I got it!

Now, friends, that's love!

Oh, good. Come on!

Alright!

You alright?

Yeah, I guess so.

'Who's made that
thing go off like that?'

- I got no idea.
- I haven't got either, huh.

Hey, what were you
thinkin' leapin' onto this car?

I was just tryin' to save
you somethin' to race in.

Luke, you could've been hurt!

What if somethin'
would've happened to you?

Boy, Daisy, he's alright.

We both appreciate what you did.

- No problem.
- Hey, I'm sorry, Luke.

It's just that if anythin'
happened to you..

It's alright. It's okay.

- Somebody loosened the ratchet.
- Yeah, no kiddin'.

Didn't just jump out all
on it's own now, did it?

You mean sabotage?
I don't believe it.

Who'd want to wreck my car?

Don't know, but it
will bear lookin' into.

We'll look into it later.
Let's shake Rosco.

Excuse me, sweetheart.

'Boss, this is here
Rosco P. Coltrane.'

'Are you standin'
by, little fat buddy?'

Rosco, I'm not only standin'
by, I'm sittin' on pins and needles.

Now, what happened
to Molly's car?

- Uh, nothin'.
- Nothin'?

What do you mean
not.. Do you hear that?

'Nothin' happened
to Molly's car.'

Listen, I paid good money
to make sure plenty would.

Well, Boss, it would
have except the Duke boys

caught up with it
before it could crash.

Duke boys! Why
didn't you stop 'em?

Well, because you told me
not to, don't you remember?

- You said...
- I know what I said.

That was then and
this is now, so grab 'em.

Uh, they are headed down
truck road toward Capitol City.

Now, you know that goes
across the county line.

Oh, well, well, well.

That's the first good
news I had today.

Crossin'the county line
violates their probation.

Ooh!

'Em Dukes' probably headed over

to meet Daisy again at
the Capitol City Speedway.

Uh, Boss, uh, then
what do you need me for?

Rosco, I've been asking
myself that same question

ever since I was stupid
enough to marry your fat sister.

And you get there and wait there
for me, you hear? Over and out.

Boys, you got yourselves
a job to do you hear me?

Meanwhile I'm gonna hitch
myself a ride with Cletus

just to make sure that
you do the job right.

Rosco's slowin' down. You don't
suppose he's givin' up, do you?

That's pretty unlikely.

I mean he knows we cross the
county line, bust our probation.

What're we gonna do now?

- Pray.
- Alright.

Maybe we could fill Uncle
Jesse on what's happened.

Maybe he has few ideas
about who sabotaged that car.

Alright.

When the boys raised
Uncle Jesse on the CB

as usual Jesse had some
thoughts on the subject.

Now, first was to
head for Capital City

in case Daisy needed him.

Second, Uncle Jesse
figured the best way

to find out who was
sabotagin' the car

was to look into Molly's past.

Now, I could've told him that.

And the fella to help 'em
do that was Luke's old friend.

Charlie Cooper Junior
of the Tri-States Press.

Here's one that ties in.

"Hargrove skirts six car
pileup to win at Chattanooga."

What it doesn't say is that
Molly caused that pileup.

'Don't seem to have
bothered her none.'

'"Driver in fiery
crash Molly Hargrove'

'"rapidly becoming
known as the lethal lady'

'of stock car racin'."'

A lady like that would've
made lot of enemies.

It's probably one of them.

That's a car Daisy's
gonna be driving too.

'I gotta level with you.'

I sure am glad my cousin isn't
being managed by somebody

who got kicked out
for reckless drivin'.

She told us it was because
she failed the eye test.

You sure it was because
of reckless drivin'?

I'm positive, Luke. I
covered that story myself.

Won't that make you feel
lower than a snake's belly.

The only reason Daisy
is under contract to Molly

is because we
pushed her into it.

We can still pull her
out of it. Thanks a lot.

By now Boss had joined up with
Rosco and was makin' his moves

to latch on to a hunk
of Daisy's contract

which was a purdy hunk.

Boss Hogg, what
are you doin' here?

Well, honey, I've just
come on a mission of mercy.

And listen I can tell you
that doesn't happen often.

'In fact, this would
be his very first.'

When I think of all
your livin' expenses

I mean the gas you gotta buy,
the entry fees you gotta pony up

and all that comin' outta
that piddly $ I lent you

why, my heart just bleeds.

So what I was thinkin'
is I could let you have

a little itty-bitty advance

to tide you over
till things get better.

- They are already better.
- They are?

Daisy's entered in the
novice race tomorrow

- She is?
- 'She'll win in a breeze.'

She will?

Then, I won't need
help from anybody.

Now... I got work to do.

Well, in case you
change your mind

I'll be staying at the
Beauregard Hotel.

Oh, Boss, isn't-isn't that
good news, good news.

You see, somebody from Hazzard's
gonna win that NASCAR race.

Even though it's a Duke,
which is good news, isn't it?

Rosco, if brains
were watermelons

you wouldn't have enough
seeds to fill a thimble.

Oh, I appreciate..

How am I gonna cut
myself in on Daisy's contract

if Molly Hargrove wins enough
prize money to tide her over.

Well..

I'd, uh, listen, how,
how we gonna stop her?

Alright, alright, I got a way.

Why do you think I brung 'em
Porter boys along with me for?

- Ah, let's see, you...
- Alright.

While you're thinkin' of
it, you just go get Cletus.

And keep your eyes
peeled for the Duke boys.

They're bound to show up here.

When they do, I want them
thrown right into the hoosegow.

I don't want nothin' to stop me

from getting control
of Daisy's contract.

Yeah, you got it.

By now the boys was a lot
closer than Boss realized.

And since they could be
arrested for breakin' parole

Bo and Luke stashed
General Lee out of sight.

Close enough to use if
they had to retreat in a hurry

which for them was the norm.

And they were just in time
to see Daisy's final practice.

Ain't that Molly's car?

Yeah.

Drivin' like she's
been doin' it all her life.

She's gettin' set to cut
inside, just like I told her.

Hope you know what you're doing.

I've seen plenty of experienced
drivers get hurt tryin' that.

Quiet Morgan. Just so long
as Daisy didn't know about it.

If she keeps drivin' like that

she is gonna get as bad
a reputation as Molly's got.

If she lives long enough.

Alright. Freeze.

Alright, you Duke
boys, I got you this time.

I'll tell you, Rosco P.
Coltrane always gets his man.

- Alright, Cletus, do your duty.
- Not so fast, Cletus.

Now, look, Rosco
we'll make you a deal.

We won't escape if
you let us talk to Daisy.

You can do all the talkin' to
Daisy you want on visitors' day

at pen state.

Daisy going to college?

- Hush. I meant state pen.
- Oh.

Just go head and
cuff 'em and stuff 'em.

Sorry, fellas.. Yeow! Aahh!

'Come back here.'

What happened to 'em? Shh!

- Where did they go?
- I don't know.

I'm gonna go back and tell
Boss that you let 'em escape.

- You look for 'em.
- Me?

Second time this week I lost
my raise and wasn't even my fault.

Bo. Luke. Come on, guys.

Very nice.

Watch your step.

Well, what now?

We best head
back to the General.

Wait for Daisy to show up at
Molly's motor home back there.

- Whoo!
- How do you feel?

I feel so good.

Molly, this is really exciting..

Just keep it nice and quiet now.

Look like we are just fixin'
this heap and not tearing it.

- Hey, Bo.
- What?

- Look over at Molly's car.
- Let's go get 'em.

That's it boys
just jump right in.

Them ol' boys are
leavin' just in time.

Y'all ain't never seen
Jesse when he is really riled.

Bo, look behind you.

And do you realize
their day ain't half over.

Let's go get 'em, they
cannot outrun the General.

Hi, there..

Now, where the
heck are they goin'?

Them boys just can't
get enough drivin'.

Daisy, what's happenin'?

I don't know. There
was a terrible fight.

- The boys almost got ran over.
- 'Molly, Daisy, over here.'

How bad is it?

They got everything
that could be ripped out

cut or smashed to pieces.

You're looking at better
than $ worth of parts.

Order 'em. I want this car
back in shape for the race.

- Sure you got the money, Molly?
- Not now.

But I will have by
the time they get here.

Meanwhile, the boys were
stickin' to 'em car wreckers

like sorghum to biscuits.

What do I do? I can't shake 'em.

Slow down. Make 'em
think you're pullin' over.

The General ain't
gonna take anymore.

He ain't gonna have
to. Hang on, cousin.

Come on.

Come on, Bo. Give me a hand.

- Now your turn.
- Ready? Go.

Alright, who hired you?

Boss Hogg.

Boss Hogg. Now, get..

I never thought I'd
be signing away %

of Daisy's contract..

For $ .

Oh, yeah, yeah. That's right.

$ and there it is. Mm-hmm.

'Thank you, very kindly. Hmm.'

You know, not that I
relish taking advantage

of that unspeakable
act of malicious mischief

that destroyed your car.

I can see it's
breakin' your heart.

Well, honey, I was tryin'
not to let my tears interfere

with doin' business.

Now, me and the sheriff are
gonna get ourselves to Atlanta

right away and personally
deposit this here document

with the racin' commission.

- We do?
- Yeah, we do.

- What for?
- What for?

So that nobody else get their
hands on it, namely them Dukes.

On account of, once this
here document is registered

Daisy ain't gonna be
able to race for nobody

'except me and Molly.'

Yeah, mostly you.

'Hey, hey, hey.'

'Am I glad to see y'all. We
were startin' to get worried.'

'What happened
to them two fellas?'

Ah, they was just small fry.

We let 'em loose after they told
who paid to tear this car apart.

- Boss Hogg.
- He said it was malicious..

I should've known better than
trust that two-faced swindler.

You talked to him? What about?

Well, you're bound to
find out sooner or later.

I just sold him %
of Daisy's contract.

What?

I thought you're tryin' to help.

I didn't have any choice.

We needed the car
ready for the race.

Otherwise we'd
have lost everything.

Well, what makes you
think you haven't lost

everything already, lady?

Where's Boss Hogg now?

On his way to Atlanta
to register the contract

with the racing association.

That's what he thinks.

Boss Hogg ain't never
owned a controlling interest

in a Duke before and we
ain't about to set precedent.

- Let's go.
- Yeah.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm sorry.

Now, seeing as how there was
only one direct road to Atlanta

the boys didn't have much
trouble findin' Boss and Rosco.

- Rosco, this is my lucky day.
- Your lucky day. Why's that?

With this here contract, I got
Daisy Duke and her racin' career

hog-tied to me for
the next seven years.

Ooh, seven years! Oh!

'Boss, it's not the next
seven years that worries me'

it's the next seven minutes.

Why?

Ah! It's them. It's Bo
and Luke. Get movin'.

- They've spotted us. Put it on.
- Alright.

For y'all with long memories

the first time you
ever saw General Lee

it was chasin' a police car.

Boss, I don't think I'm
gonna be able to outrun 'em.

I'll have to outthink 'em.

- Outthink them?
- Yeah.

You got as much chance of that

as your big fat sister
has of slippin' into a bikini.

Come on, will you?

'Come on, faster, faster.'

'This thing is
chock full of rocks.'

What're you tryin' to do?
Shake the fillings outta my teeth?

Well, this is not intentional.

'Get out of my way.'

Oh, you pea brain. You
tryin' to skin me alive.

Listen, Boss, don't you
worry about a thing, Boss.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

I'm seein' it, but
I ain't believin' it.

'Get me outta here.'

You alright in
there, Boss, Rosco?

Well, listen, I'll let you know
when everythin' stops spinnin'.

'Help me outta here!'

You just hand over
Daisy's contract first.

- What? I ain't thatdizzy.
- What?

You can't make me give it up.

Luke, this car looked a lot
better when it was spinnin'..

'No, no. No, no,
no. Wait a minute.'

No, no, no. Give me that.

- 'No, Rosco.'
- 'Oh, give me that.'

Alright.

Don't worry about it,
Boss. We'll help you out.

You wouldn't have liked the
stock car business anyway.

You sure now? Boss Hogg
doesn't have no more hold on me?

That's provided Molly
pays back that $

she borrowed for spare parts.

No problems. Daisy will win
twice that in her next race.

And that's just for openers.

From now on, you're gonna
eat and drink and dream racin'.

Twenty four hours a
day, seven days a week.

I'm gonna teach you
every trick in the books.

And probably a few
that ain't in that book.

Well, now, that's my business.

If I take her
straight to the top

I'm gonna make the decisions.

I can't have any interference.
Even from her own family.

Then, I guess I won't
be going to the top.

It just ain't worth it, Molly.

Daisy, you don't know
what you're sayin'.

Listen to me.

I'm not gonna sit here
and watch you throw away

the dreams of a lifetime.

Your lifetime. Your dreams.

Not mine.

All I wanted here was a chance

to prove I could
make it on my own.

'And not by trying to run
down anybody in my way.'

'That's just wrong.'

So my uncle Jesse's been
teachin' me the right way.

All my life. I ain't
about to change.

How about that, huh?

Our little cousin Daisy
made up her mind about Molly

without even us
telling her about her.

I ain't a bit surprised.

- She's our cousin, ain't she?
- Yeah, she's a Duke too.

And that's the story of
how a once-famous driver

lost her last chance to
get into professional racin'.

And how Daisy Duke didn't
get to be the first woman

to win the NASCAR Grand
National Championship... yet.

Boss gave Daisy her job
back 'cause she still drew

more customers
than the beer did flies.

Besides, somebody had
to train the new bus boy

who was workin' off
one mashed patrol car.

All of which put everything
back to what passes

for norm in Hazzard County.
