Chocolate ice cream, coming right up.
There you go.
But I said a double scoop.
Well done!
Wonderful! Wow!
You're good, mister.
EDDYMister?
(Laughing)
Just call me Eddy.
Fastest scoop in the west.
(Man laughing)
Thanks! BOYSee you later.
WOMANBye.
Have a great day at the carnival.
Hi, Marvin.
Your ice cream razzle-dazzle sure is a crowd pleaser, Eddy.
Yeah. Makes my job kind of fun.
And the customers like it.
(Jack laughing)
And speaking of customers,
there's Jack giving a young customer the guided tour.
I wonder who she is.
Marvin, Eddy, meet my niece Lucy.
She'll be visiting the carnival for the next few days.
Hi, Marvin.
Pleased to meet you.
Hi, Eddy.
Uh, hi.
So, how about some ice cream?
Eddy, do your stuff.
Uh, sure, no problem.
Oops.
Uh, sorry.
MARVINA cone, Eddy. A cone.
(Gasping)
Got it.
Here you go.
Thanks.
(Eddy laughing nervously)
You're welcome.
Come on, Lucy, let me show you the rest of the operation.
Maybe you need to practice that scooping technique
a little more, Eddy.
(Groaning)
That was totally embarrassing.
You certainly made a memorable first impression, Eddy.
I can do that trick with my eyes closed.
I can't believe I messed up.
That happens when you're nervous.
But I never get like that in front of customers.
That wasn't just any customer.
It wasn't?
I think someone's taken a shine to Lucy.
Who, me?
I don't see anyone else dropping ice cream around here.
Well, she is pretty, I guess.
Then why don't you make friends with her, Eddy?
That'd be nice, but I wouldn't even know where to start.
Eddy, I'm here to help.
Eight-and-a-nine and-a ten-cent shine.
And this is going to get Lucy's attention?
That's step one.
Then you get a little a conversation going.
A conversation?
Relax, there's nothing to it.
Here, you dance and I'll pretend to be Lucy.
(In falsetto voice)Why, hello, Eddy.
What you doing?
I'm trying to get your attention.
No, no, no-- Ahem.
(In normal voice)No.
Tell her you're working on an act.
But I'm not working on an act.
Don't worry about the details.
Just get a conversation going.
(Gasping)Eddy, there she is.
Okay, start dancing.
(Loud whistle)
Oh. Hi.
Hello, Eddy.
Did you want us to see you dance?
We heard you whistle.
Psst. Eddy. Move over.
She can't see you.
Okay.
Look out. Oh dear.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
(Grunting)
(Gasping) Are you all right, Eddy?
(Spitting)
Yes.
Let me help you up.
Is Lucy still watching?
MARVINNope, the coast is clear.
You can get up now, Eddy.
What has Lucy got to do with this?
Well, Eddy wants to get to know her so, I thought I'd help out.
I taught him my "like to get to know you" dance step.
But all I got to know is how straw tastes.
Pfft.
(Laughing)
DIAMONDSWith all due respect, Marvin,
I think Eddy needs a lady's advice.
Two ladies' advice.
DIAMONDSWhen presenting oneself to a lady,
a gentleman should display good poise and manners.
Let's start with this book.
"One hundred peanut recipes"?
It's not for reading.
It's for the top of your head.
What?
Over here, Eddy.
Whoa! Whoa!
Back straight.
Chest out.
Knees together.
That's good, Eddy.
Now walk this way
with poise and confidence.
Uh, this doesn't feel very natural.
It will with practice.
Elizabeth, could you be Lucy?
Of course.
(Humming)
Hello, Eddy.
My, how straight and tall you stand.
Uh, thanks.
Is there something you'd like to talk about?
Whoa!
Oh, dear. Are you all right Eddy?
Yeah. I'm fine.
I think we need to work on your conversational skills now.
And I have the perfect novel that we can borrow from.
Just listen to this.
(Clearing throat)
"Your eyes flicker like two lonely candles.
"Candles floating on a sea of my affection
and blown by a wind that whispers your name."
Or in your case, Eddy, Lucy's name.
Isn't that just so romantic?
(Sighing)
It's also so not going to work.
Come over here, Eddy. I've got just what you need.
Where is it?
Ah, here we go.
Have a whiff of this.
What is it?
Jungle Madness cologne.
Splash on some of this and you're suddenly irresistible.
Are you sure?
Sure I'm sure.
Now go get 'em, tiger.
Remember Eddy, smile.
He's going to do just fine.
(Sniffing)
Eww.
Hi, Eddy.
(Clearing throat)
Lucy, your eyes, um, float in a puddle of glitter
I beg your pardon?
I mean, there's a wind that, uh,
whispers your name,
and it blows around candles and eyes and stuff.
(Sniffing)
Do you smell something really weird?
Uh, yeah. I think I left something in the toaster oven.
Got to go.
(Inhaling)
(Blowing)
How long can he stay under there?
(Gasping)
Smell me now, Marvin.
(Sniffing) Any hint of Jungle Madness?
I think you finally got it off, Eddy.
Good. I'm getting so wrinkly I feel like a raisin.
Now we just have to wait for your clothes to dry.
You don't want Lucy to meet you in that outfit.
No, I've given up on that.
Lucy must think I'm really strange by now.
EDNANot necessarily.
She might think you're a sweet young lad
who's just trying too hard.
Well, I'm not trying anymore, Edna.
EDNA (Sighing)What a shame.
You know, I was just looking in my crystal ball this morning,
and I saw the two of you having so much fun together.
We were?
Not you.
Eddy and Lucy.
Really? So it's for sure?
It's not for sure yet.
But it can be with a little help from...
this.
Wow! Very nice.
It's an ancient charm with mysterious powers.
Mysterious powers?
What does it do?
It will allow Lucy to see you at your best.
How does it work?
Keep this with you the next time you go to meet Lucy,
and just be yourself.
The charm will take care of the rest.
Okay, charm, this is it.
Do your stuff.
(Gasping)
(Inhaling and exhaling deeply)
Hi, Lucy.
Oh, Eddy.
I noticed you walking around by yourself
and I was wondering if you'd like someone to join you.
I'd like that. Great!
I'll give you the famous Eddy Largo carnival tour.
♪
And to top it off, a scoop of vanilla.
Thanks, Eddy.
And thanks for a great afternoon.
I had a lot of fun too.
But you know what would make today even better?
What?
If you could come to my grandmother's house for supper.
I'd love to. I'll go and ask my Uncle Jack.
Great!
See you later.
It looks like things are going well with Lucy.
Things are going great. And all thanks to...
The charm!
I've lost the charm!
Now just calm down.
Do you remember where you had it last?
EDDYAround my neck.
But it must have fallen off.
What am I going to do?
Lucy's going to be coming back soon.
Oh! Well, I'll help you look.
Ow.
What are you doing, Eddy,
besides getting grass stains on your knees?
I lost the charm you gave me.
And just when everything was going so well.
Do you have another one, Edna?
EDNAI think I do.
If you still think you really need one.
Here are some more charms, Eddy.
Just take your pick.
The charm was off an old lamp?
Yup.
That's all it was.
No magic. No mystery.
It was all you.
And I was just being myself.
Looks like you had a certain charm
you didn't even know about, Eddy.
Yeah, and I owe it all to you, Edna.
Oh, give me hug.
(Laughing)
LUCYEddy! There's Lucy.
Here I am, Lucy.
Guess what? Uncle Jack said I can go.
Great!
You're going to like my grandmother.
She's really good at croquet.
I love croquet.
Well, you couldn't ask for a happier ending than that,
could you, Edna?
Almost.
What could make it better?
If you could find that glass bauble that Eddy lost.
My lampshade just doesn't look right with that gap in it.
I'll organize a search party.
Thank you, Marvin.
♪
Whew! Boy it's hot.
Hi, Marvin.
Hi, Eddy.
Did she say yes?
Yup, grandma says I can stay overnight.
And she gave me my very own sleeping bag.
Good. We can stay up telling ghost stories.
And reading comics. I got a new one.
And look what I brought for my best friend.
Ooh, what is it?
Lemonade.
Thanks, Eddy. I sure need it.
Say, could you take off my tie? It gets awful itchy in the heat.
Sure thing, Marvin.
Oh, I haven't been this hot
since we took the Barnyard Follies to Hawaii.
Ah, that's better.
Thanks, Eddy.
Eddy?

Yeah!
(Laughing)Not bad.
Wow.

It's a cowboy.

Maybe he's a desperado.
Howdy, friends.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Frisco.
Just call me Frisco, son.
None of that "mister" stuff.
Sure thing, Frisco.
My name's Eddy.
And I'm Marvin...

A pleasure to meet you both.
Whoo! It sure is a hot one.
Where can a fella get a drink around here?
(Gasping)
Would you like some lemonade?
I sure would.
(Gasping)Hmph!
Well, thanks, little cowpoke.
There you go, Ricochet.
So, travel far today?
Yup.
You like working for a cowboy?
Yup.
You two been together long?
Yup.
Don't talk much, do you?
Nope.
(Frisco Frank laughing)
(Laughing)
Would y'all mind if I camped out here tonight?
You're going to stay here?
Oh, boy!
You'll have to ask Jack, but I bet he'll say yes.
Come on, I'll take you to him.
(Both laughing)
(Sighing)
EDDYJack! Jack!
Jack!
What's up, Eddy?
What's the ruckus?
Is the place on fire?
Everyone, this is Frisco Frank,
the singing cowboy.
And his horse, Ricochet.
Howdy y'all.
Morning, ladies.
Ooh!
Hello.
So, you're a singing cowboy?
(Yodeling)
Oh, bravo. Just lovely.
MARVINIt's too bad that we already have a singing act.
Namely me.
Ah, but that ain't all I can do.
Giddyup!
Whoo-wee! (Ricochet whinnying)
Wow! Oh, my!
Well, that's nothing.
Wait till you see this.
Whoa!
(Crashing) (Marvin grunting)
You're right, Marvin. That's a great trick.
Are you all right? That was quite a tumble.
Yeah, are you okay, Marvin?
I'm fine.
Say, Frisco, would you be interested in doing your act
in our show?
Well, sure.
Only, I can't stay long.
Got to mosey on to Santa Fe.
Got me a job as a singing ranch hand.
I only stopped because I was looking for a place
to camp out under the stars.
Well, if you perform in my show,
you can camp out anywhere you want.
(Eddy clearing throat)
Is it okay if we camp out under the stars with you?
There's plenty of stars.
Enough for everyone.
Oh, boy!
But I thought we were going to sleep in my tent
and tell ghost stories and read comics.
EDDYPlease, Marvin?
Can we sleep outside like real cowboys?
Please?
Oh, I suppose we can.
Yippee!
When did you decide to become a cowboy, Frisco?
(Laughing)I never had to decide.
I've always been a cowboy.
Ever since I was knee-high to a grasshopper.
Oh, I remember when I decided I wanted to dance.
I was just a little colt. (Frisco Frank yawning)
Sorry, Marv, I'm just plumb tuckered out.
I think it's time to hit the hay.
Hmph!
Good night all.
(Snoring)
Hmph!
(Sniffing)
Mmm. What's cooking?
We're cooking up a mess of flapjacks and hen fruit.
Flapjacks are pancakes, and hen fruit's eggs.
And I've got the moo juice.
Charming.
Let me guessmilk?
You got that right, little lady.
FRISCO FRANKThey're about done.
And about time too.
I'm hungry as 'hoppers.
Come and get it!
Was it fun sleeping outside, Eddy?
It sure was.
I wish I could do it every night.
Eddy'd make a mighty fine cowboy.
So, Frisco, you said you can't stay long.
When exactly will you be leaving?
DIAMONDSHush, Marvin.
Don't be so rude.
(Laughing)You're sure ornery today.
You got a burr under you saddle blanket?
(All laughing)
Hey, Eddy. So, what do you want to do this afternoon?
I'm done rehearsing.
Oh, sorry, Marvin.
But Frisco said he'd show me some rope tricks.
Oh. Okay.
Why don't you come along too?
Maybe Frisco can teach you some cowboy songs.
No, thanks.
I'm not much of a yodeler.
I bet Frisco can teach you. Come on.
No, you go on. I'll catch up with you later.
Okay. See you later.
ELIZABETHHello, Marvin.
What do you think?
Oh, good. More cowboys.
We decided to give our acts a Western theme.
I'm going to juggle cactuses.
It's "cacti," and I don't think you want to be juggling them.
(Gasping)
Oh!
I almost forgot about the pricklies.
Have you seen Frisco?
He said he'd help us out.
He's in there, showing Eddy lasso tricks.
Isn't that nice.
Yes, isn't it.
Come on, Elizabeth.
(In Southern drawl)I mean, Lizzie-Belle.
(In Southern drawl)Sure thing, Diamond Lil.
(Both laughing)
Hey, Stripes, everyone's going cowboy on me.
Reach for the sky, hombre.
Oh, not you too.
What's wrong with you?
Got a burr under your saddle blanket?
(Laughing)
Yeah, yeah, very funny.
Listen, Stripes, I don't think this cowboy stuff
is right for the carnival.
I mean, we're not a wild west show.
And what kind of cowboy name is Frank anyway?
It's Frisco.
He likes to be called Frisco.
And he's asked me to be in his act.
I'm the bad guy.
A low-down bank robber from Bengal.
Hey, Stripes. Come on, we've got to practice.
How about you, Marvin?
Come on and join our big wild west act.
MARVINNo, thanks.
I'm a tap-dancing horse, not a bucking bronco.
Suit yourself.
(Upbeat marching music playing)
(Sparse applause)
Great show, Marvin.
Thanks, Eddy.
I added a couple of new steps, and--
EDDYSorry, Marvin, can't talk.
I've got to go and help Frisco with his act.
I'm the deputy sheriff, and I've got spurs too.
See?
JACKAnd now,
ladies and gentlemen,
children of all ages,
I am proud to present Frisco Frank the singing cowboy,
and his horse Ricochet!
(Ricochet whinnying)
(All cheering)
Got to go. See y'all later.
(Ricochet whinnying)
Wow. I can't compete with that.
EDDYAnd look at this.
Whoo-wee!
Well done, partner.
Like I keep saying, you'd make a great cowboy, Eddy.
Really? Well, sure.
Thanks.
Eddy and Frisco sure get along, don't they?
Yeah.
Marvin, you're jealous.
Me? Jealous of that show-off?
No way.
Well, you don't have to be jealous much longer.
Frisco's leaving tonight.
Really? Tonight?
Right now.
Well I'd better go and say goodbye.
(Gasping)Oh, my gosh!
I bet he's talked Eddy into going with him
and becoming a cowboy.
Wait! Wait!
Marvin, what's wrong?
Don't go to Santa Fe, Eddy.
You can't leave the carnival. We need you here.
Besides, your grandma won't let you.
I won't let you.
EDDYWhoa, slow down.
I'm not going anywhere.
Frisco was just giving me a last ride before he leaves.
Besides, why would I leave the carnival,
and my very best friend?
I'm still your best friend?
Of course you are.
I'm sorry I was acting so rude.
I was just jealous, I guess.
No harm done, Marv.
It was a pleasure meeting both of you.
Yup.
Come back soon.
Bye, partner.
Happy trails.
Sorry, Eddy.
I'm sorry too.
I was so caught up in this cowboy stuff
I didn't notice you were feeling bad.
Maybe I could work up a Western tap act.
Yeah.
You could be the sheriff,
and I could be the tap-dancing outlaw of the wild west.
And I bet I can learn that yodeling too.
(Yodeling)
You bet, partner.
