[Music]

you've set him up you listen to me and

you listen good

I don't care what my

what my oceanography is baloney farming

the ocean is baloney and you're not

taking one red Penny out of this bank

for any such nonsense is that clear Mr

Clampett

I thought you were being a tiger all of

a sudden I am a tiger and I'm going to

stay a tiger I've decided there's only

one way to handle a simple man like Jed

clabbett as with Force Power Authority

well bully for you but you happen to be

wrong about oceanography says who says

every thinking scientist an ecologist in

the world well we must save our oceans

from pollution our environment is in

terrible Danger The Very existence of

our planet is at stake is it going to

cost money

foreign

is going to hear right from the Tiger's

mouth

Miss Gene uh Mr Drysdale I know you're

busy and I won't take a minute I just

want to say that I've made up my mind to

put a heap of money into the study of

oceanography is that your final decision

yes sir it is

beautiful

100

baloney

have to contend with went right here in

my own bank

Miss Hathaway can't you understand we

must save the ocean from pollution our

environment is in terrible Danger The

Very existence of this planet is at

stake if you are not to be believed

Mr Clampett please me right sir that's

right I do and I'm kind of surprised at

you Miss Jean generally you're real

smart well not with this when it comes

to oceanography she has a blind spot

which if you are the lowest the most go

ahead revile me call me names

but I stand with Mr Clampett and so does

every thinking scientist and ecologist

in the world how can you be so

completely not another word Mr Clapton

and I have taken enough abuse from you

now get out of my office

Chief oh no you'll be fired

I don't know how much fun

humiliation I can stand I tried to

remind me I'm just in the face of it all

again I'm I'm sorry that I had to turn

into a tiger like that

but I decided the only way to handle a

simple woman like Miss Hathaway is with

Force Power Authority yeah but you got

her balling oh not me Mr Clampett

fear the fear that you'll withdraw your

money from this bank and she'll be able

to work well I don't aim to draw it all

out maybe you're just half

well even half would upset her

[Music]

uh Miss Jamie

I I'm sorry but I think it's only fair

for me to haul off and tell you that I'm

going to draw half of my money out of

this bank and spend it on oceanography

and ecology and such

that seemed to make her real happy that

was hysteria well damage is done so

let's go on down to the cashier and get

the money no wait

that might push her over the edge

emotionally let me bring it to you later

well whatever you think is best I'll

leave it to me

well she won't duplicity did not work

despite all your devious conniving

honesty and virtue have triumphed

cashier
