1. Here you go, shug.
Copy !req
2. - Two sugs, right?
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
3. They asked me to be the celebrity judge
Copy !req
4. at the Mrs. Heimlich County
beauty pageant next week.
Copy !req
5. "Mrs."? Wait. Do any women
mature enough to have a family
Copy !req
6. really go in for that nonsense?
Copy !req
7. That nonsense, shug, changed my life.
Copy !req
8. It's what got me into television
Copy !req
9. and into hundreds of homes every night
as a weather analyst.
Copy !req
10. And you'd be surprised at the top-notch
prizes at the Mrs. Heimlich.
Copy !req
11. Bath beads?
Copy !req
12. Try a year's lease
on a brand-new Chevy Silverado.
Copy !req
13. LT-K-1500 pickup truck
Copy !req
14. with a super cab and 270 horsepower,
Copy !req
15. 5.3 liter Vortec V-8.
Copy !req
16. I want that truck.
Copy !req
17. Hank… Do you think I could win
the Mrs. Heimlich pageant if I entered?
Copy !req
18. You see, Peggy,
that's what you call a loaded question.
Copy !req
19. No matter how I answer,
there's a bullet in every chamber
Copy !req
20. designed to blow my brains out.
Copy !req
21. Hank, do you think I can win?
Copy !req
22. Well, uh… I… think
you're beautiful and smart,
Copy !req
23. and you don't need to enter
some pageant to prove it.
Copy !req
24. Hm. You don't think I can win, do you?
Copy !req
25. I didn't say… I…
Copy !req
26. I just don't think
you're the pageant type.
Copy !req
27. Really. Well, let's see.
Copy !req
28. All you have to be is married and over 23.
Copy !req
29. Well, I've got that covered.
Copy !req
30. So, how would we rate me?
Copy !req
31. Uh… I would say, face… A-minus,
Copy !req
32. body… B-plus,
Copy !req
33. personality… A-plus,
Copy !req
34. and brains… A-plus.
Copy !req
35. So with my smarts and looks
and muchos talentos,
Copy !req
36. well, I think I have a huge edge
over these bimbos, huh, Hank?
Copy !req
37. I'm going to enter.
Copy !req
38. The grand prize is a truck.
Copy !req
39. I have a truck.
Copy !req
40. But I don't.
Copy !req
41. You have a car.
Copy !req
42. Hank, a car is fine,
but a truck is a force.
Copy !req
43. True.
Copy !req
44. I can't believe I'm going to be
an actual beauty pageant stylist.
Copy !req
45. Oh, I already have some ideas
for styling you.
Copy !req
46. I've always wondered what would happen
if you let your hair dry naturally.
Copy !req
47. Okay, let's not go crazy, Luanne.
Copy !req
48. Remember, we're working together
to make the best Peggy Hill possible.
Copy !req
49. Personally, I think a little lipstick
and a pair of nice earrings
Copy !req
50. will win that truck.
Copy !req
51. That's a good-looking truck, Hank.
Copy !req
52. Yeah, man,
we're talkin' about 'em dang ol'
Copy !req
53. 270 horsepower, man.
Skid plate package Z-71
Copy !req
54. off-road suspension, man,
Copy !req
55. that dang ol' K-1-5, man. Dang.
Copy !req
56. Yeah. All Peggy's got to do
to get that truck
Copy !req
57. is to win the Mrs. Heimlich
County Pageant.
Copy !req
58. Uh, y-yep.
Copy !req
59. Yep.
Copy !req
60. That's right. "Yep."
Copy !req
61. Peggy's going to win.
Copy !req
62. She's every man's fantasy.
Copy !req
63. Okay, Bill, I'll take over from here.
Copy !req
64. I mean, she's got an A-plus brain
and an A-minus body,
Copy !req
65. but if she wears one
of them push-up brassieres…
Copy !req
66. Bill!
Copy !req
67. She'll have a body
that just won't quit.
Copy !req
68. You like that truck, don't you?
Copy !req
69. Would you like to take it
for a test drive?
Copy !req
70. Well, I would not say no.
Copy !req
71. Now, here's something
a pretty lady like yourself
Copy !req
72. will appreciate
Copy !req
73. a driver's side vanity mirror.
Copy !req
74. Mmm, I do look good in this truck.
Copy !req
75. So, what's it going to take for you
to buy this truck
Copy !req
76. today?
Copy !req
77. Oh, I'm not planning on buying it.
Copy !req
78. I'm planning on winning it
in a beauty contest.
Copy !req
79. Test drive's over.
Copy !req
80. Excuse me, uh, y'all.
Copy !req
81. Before we get started,
Copy !req
82. if there is anybody here
not connected to the pageant,
Copy !req
83. could you please leave now?
Copy !req
84. Mm.
Copy !req
85. Um, I'd like to welcome you all
Copy !req
86. to the Mrs. Heimlich County
beauty pageant.
Copy !req
87. In a couple of minutes,
you'll get the chance to meet
Copy !req
88. your fellow contestants.
But before you do,
Copy !req
89. the reigning Mrs. Heimlich, Cathy Shears
Copy !req
90. would like to say a few words.
Copy !req
91. What a long, strange,
beautiful trip it's been.
Copy !req
92. And next week,
I will add the word "sad" to that list
Copy !req
93. because I will be handing over this crown
to the new Mrs. Heimlich County.
Copy !req
94. Peggy Hill.
Copy !req
95. Well, hello. I'm Peggy Hill.
Copy !req
96. Oh, hi. I'm Helen Pell.
Copy !req
97. So, what does Peggy Hill do
Copy !req
98. when she's not competing
in a beauty pageant?
Copy !req
99. Well, I'm a substitute teacher
at Tom Landry Middle School.
Copy !req
100. Oh, really.
Copy !req
101. I teach sciences full time
over at the high school.
Copy !req
102. What do you teach?
Copy !req
103. Espanol.
Copy !req
104. I had my second honeymoon in Spain.
Copy !req
105. Have you ever gone?
Copy !req
106. No. But it's because I choose not to.
Copy !req
107. You should go. You'll love it.
Copy !req
108. I practically lived there for a couple
of months after I graduated from college.
Copy !req
109. That's where I met my husband,
the engineer.
Copy !req
110. The kind that drives a train?
Copy !req
111. Oh, I'm going to have to look out for you.
Copy !req
112. You're very congenial.
Copy !req
113. Oh, really?
Copy !req
114. You know that there are three
other contestants who teach as well.
Copy !req
115. Yes, yes, I know. I met them already.
Copy !req
116. And I suppose you're what,
a biochemist or something?
Copy !req
117. Oh, no, no, no. I'm a stay-at-home mother.
Copy !req
118. But I have seven kids
Copy !req
119. so that's a full-time job
in and of itself.
Copy !req
120. - Do you have any children?
- Eight.
Copy !req
121. No, I only have one.
Copy !req
122. Well, right now I'm majoring
in philosophy and classical music.
Copy !req
123. Oh, how nice for you.
Copy !req
124. Well, that'll get you a job in a factory
when you get out of college.
Copy !req
125. That's what my mom says, too.
Copy !req
126. No!
Copy !req
127. You do know you have to be
23 years or older
Copy !req
128. to be in this pageant?
Copy !req
129. I am 23.
Copy !req
130. Do you have any children?
Copy !req
131. - No. I'm concentrating on my s…
- Oh, oh, well. I have one.
Copy !req
132. Anyway, nice meeting you.
Copy !req
133. Good luck in the pageant.
Copy !req
134. Isn't this exciting, Aunt Peggy?
Copy !req
135. Everyone's so nice.
Copy !req
136. Mrs. Heimlich County let me
try on her crown and sash.
Copy !req
137. Did you know she could play
the lap steel guitar,
Copy !req
138. and she only has nine percent body fat,
Copy !req
139. and it's all in her breasts?
Copy !req
140. Little Bobby Hill, you rascal you.
Copy !req
141. Mmm.
Copy !req
142. That's when you used to put your food
everywhere but in your mouth.
Copy !req
143. I was young. I didn't know any better.
Copy !req
144. Oh, I haven't seen this photo
in such a long time.
Copy !req
145. Who's that kissing dad?
Copy !req
146. Well, that's me, honey.
Copy !req
147. Really? You were beautiful.
Copy !req
148. Were?
Copy !req
149. Oh, Bobby, I still am.
Copy !req
150. Okay.
Copy !req
151. Bobby, don't you see?
Copy !req
152. When you look at me now,
you can't see somebody who's beautiful.
Copy !req
153. You just see a mother.
Copy !req
154. I don't know.
I think Connie's mom is beautiful.
Copy !req
155. - And Mrs. Gribble…
- All right. All right.
Copy !req
156. Hey, there's me standing
Copy !req
157. next to the world's largest roadrunner!
Copy !req
158. Are you still having those nightmares
where he pecks out your eyes?
Copy !req
159. - I forgot about those.
- Good.
Copy !req
160. Oh.
Copy !req
161. Peggy, are you all right?
Copy !req
162. Oh, Hank, I can't sleep.
Copy !req
163. Boy, Cagney and Lacey
certainly have aged horribly.
Copy !req
164. Hank
Copy !req
165. do you think I'll turn into one of those
women you see at the Mega Lo Mart
Copy !req
166. who wears white stretch pants
and doesn't tuck in her shirt anymore?
Copy !req
167. Not for many, many years.
Copy !req
168. Oh, so you've thought about this.
Copy !req
169. No, not my eyes!
Copy !req
170. I thought he stopped
having those nightmares.
Copy !req
171. - Come on in, ladies, take a load off.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
172. Well, I don't believe
I've had the pleasure
Copy !req
173. of meeting this little filly before.
Copy !req
174. Well, yes, yes, you have.
Copy !req
175. Mm-hmm. Your daughter?
Copy !req
176. No. She's my niece, Luanne.
Copy !req
177. Oh. Well, there you go, darlin'.
Copy !req
178. Oh.
Copy !req
179. Thank you.
Copy !req
180. Now, what can old Buck Strickland
do for you?
Copy !req
181. You said you had some kind
of business proposition, did you?
Copy !req
182. Mr. Strickland
Copy !req
183. a beauty pageant can be
a good promotional opportunity
Copy !req
184. for both the beauty contestant
and for the business who sponsors…
Copy !req
185. Ah, say no more. I'll do it.
Copy !req
186. How much do you need?
Copy !req
187. Well, there's, uh, the new tennis outfit,
Copy !req
188. makeup, new dress, hair…
Copy !req
189. Uh… we figured around 2,000 dollars.
Copy !req
190. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
191. Debbie, write me up
a company check for 2,000 dollars.
Copy !req
192. Right away, Buck.
Copy !req
193. Oh, thank you, Mr. Strickland.
Copy !req
194. I guarantee you that I will win
that Mrs. Heimlich pageant.
Copy !req
195. I will not let you down
as my sponsor.
Copy !req
196. Well… "Mrs."?
Copy !req
197. What the hell is she doing here?
Copy !req
198. She's my stylist, and like yourself
Copy !req
199. a big part of team Peggy Hill.
Copy !req
200. Debbie, did you finish
writing up that check?
Copy !req
201. Yes, Buck.
Copy !req
202. Oh, sh… Oh.
Copy !req
203. Terrific, girls.
Copy !req
204. Mrs. Hill, that was awful.
Copy !req
205. We're going to go again,
Copy !req
206. and this time, I want Mrs. Hill
to sit this one out and watch me.
Copy !req
207. Raymond, hold my cane.
Copy !req
208. Why, Nancy, in the words of Billy Crystal,
Copy !req
209. you look wonderful.
Copy !req
210. Thanks, shug.
Copy !req
211. Oh, by the way I was so excited
to hear that you entered the pageant.
Copy !req
212. Really? Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
213. Well, maybe this year, you and I can
shake things up a little bit at the "Mrs."
Copy !req
214. Shake things up how?
Copy !req
215. You know, every year they pick
the same type of woman to win
Copy !req
216. skinny, big hair, bleached blonde…
Copy !req
217. You mean, women like me?
Copy !req
218. Oh, your hair is not bleached, is it?
Copy !req
219. What type of woman do you think
should win the pageant, Peggy?
Copy !req
220. Well, I'm not a judge but
Copy !req
221. a married woman, of course.
Copy !req
222. Not just a wife, but a partner.
Copy !req
223. Definitely a mother.
Copy !req
224. Someone who is distinguished
by her brain size not her bra size.
Copy !req
225. Women like you.
Copy !req
226. Well, you said it, I didn't, but, yes.
Copy !req
227. I think women like you
shouldn't be in a pageant
Copy !req
228. if you're not prepared
to be judged by women like me.
Copy !req
229. We could have shook things up, you and me.
Copy !req
230. Oh, don't you look… smart.
Copy !req
231. Luanne, I think I want to put
some highlights in my hair.
Copy !req
232. - Oh.
- You don't think that's a good idea?
Copy !req
233. No, it's a good idea.
Copy !req
234. It's just that highlights
was a two-part class,
Copy !req
235. and I missed both parts.
Copy !req
236. Hey, bozo.
Copy !req
237. Where your clown car, Peggy Hill?
Copy !req
238. Hey, you look like the Ronald McDonald
you bozo, Peggy Hill.
Copy !req
239. Gee, she so stuck up.
Copy !req
240. Not even say hello.
Copy !req
241. You think your missus will like it?
Copy !req
242. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
243. Well, I hope so.
Copy !req
244. This is the most I've spent on a woman
without getting anything in return.
Copy !req
245. You know what I mean?
Copy !req
246. Uh, don't worry about it, Buck.
You've backed a winner.
Copy !req
247. She could have smiled, at least.
Copy !req
248. She is smiling.
Copy !req
249. If I order by 8:00 tonight,
Copy !req
250. I can have my stretch pants
by tomorrow at noon.
Copy !req
251. I could be in them by 1:00.
Copy !req
252. Uh, Peggy, why don't you just wait a week,
and we can drive over to the Mega Lo Mart
Copy !req
253. and get them in your new truck, huh?
Copy !req
254. Yeah, right, my new truck.
Copy !req
255. Stop worrying. You've got
those fancy stripes in your hair,
Copy !req
256. plus your best friend Nancy is a judge.
Copy !req
257. Well, Nancy and I
are not talking right now.
Copy !req
258. Oh.
Copy !req
259. Well, then, we just won't let her ride
in our new truck, will we?
Copy !req
260. Oh, okay.
Copy !req
261. Uh, hey, Dale.
Copy !req
262. Peggy baked some extra brownies,
Copy !req
263. and we thought,
you know who might enjoy these?
Copy !req
264. The Gribbles.
Copy !req
265. - So here you go.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
266. Okay.
Copy !req
267. Oh, and, uh, I'm done using my ratchet set
if you want to borrow it.
Copy !req
268. You mean if I wanna keep it?
Copy !req
269. Borrow it, Dale.
Copy !req
270. Just a little reminder, Hank.
Copy !req
271. My wife is the judge
of your wife's beauty pageant.
Copy !req
272. Keep it?
Copy !req
273. Borrow it or I'll step over this hedge
and kick your ass.
Copy !req
274. Keep it…
Copy !req
275. Oh, hi.
Copy !req
276. Hello.
Copy !req
277. Excuse me, but I think
you've made a mistake.
Copy !req
278. You're teasing
the wrong contestant's hair.
Copy !req
279. It's okay. It happened to me yesterday.
Copy !req
280. Luanne. Honey, sit down
for a second, please.
Copy !req
281. Now, you are an excellent,
excellent amateur stylist,
Copy !req
282. but this is a professional beauty pageant.
Copy !req
283. No, it's an amateur beauty pageant,
Aunt Peggy.
Copy !req
284. See, Luanne, amateur attitude,
amateur performance.
Copy !req
285. That's why I've hired a professional.
Copy !req
286. This is Marci Shuette,
Copy !req
287. stylist to three pageant winners.
Copy !req
288. Oh, my God.
You're firing me as your stylist.
Copy !req
289. No, you will still be a very important
part of team Peggy Hill,
Copy !req
290. but in a much, much smaller capacity.
Copy !req
291. Luanne.
Copy !req
292. See, that's the amateur attitude
I was talking about earlier.
Copy !req
293. All right, all right, hmm…
Copy !req
294. Let me get a look at you.
Copy !req
295. Okay, now turn around.
Copy !req
296. Can you save this?
Copy !req
297. Hmm, this will be
my greatest challenge yet.
Copy !req
298. And the winner
Copy !req
299. of the Mrs. Heimlich County
beauty pageant…
Copy !req
300. Peggy Hill.
Copy !req
301. So what do you think?
Copy !req
302. Whoa, Mom
Copy !req
303. you look like you could star
in a headache commercial.
Copy !req
304. Ladybird, Ladybird, stop barking.
Copy !req
305. It's me, it's Peggy.
Copy !req
306. Hank, you haven't said anything.
Copy !req
307. Uh, you look…
Copy !req
308. Bobby, will you please
take Ladybird outside?
Copy !req
309. Gee, look at you.
Copy !req
310. Yeah, I'd kiss you,
Copy !req
311. but it'd feel like I was cheating on you
with another woman if I did.
Copy !req
312. Well
Copy !req
313. now's your chance to cheat on me, Hank.
Copy !req
314. I promise I won't tell Peggy.
Copy !req
315. Ah… there.
Copy !req
316. Boy, look at me.
Copy !req
317. I'm having an affair.
Copy !req
318. You were so right about the eyeliner.
Copy !req
319. Oh, God, what was I thinking?
Copy !req
320. Dang, I wish we had a picture
of you looking this good for the flyer.
Copy !req
321. - Spilt milk, spilt milk.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
322. Did you get the brownies
I baked for you as a friend, Nancy?
Copy !req
323. Yes, I did, Mrs. Hill.
Copy !req
324. Shall we proceed?
Copy !req
325. We're running a little behind schedule.
Copy !req
326. It says here in your application
that you speak Spanish.
Copy !req
327. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
328. Peggy Hill…
Copy !req
329. Luanne, I just spent two hours
picking one of Peggy's shoes
Copy !req
330. out of that disposal.
Copy !req
331. I'm beginning to think
it wasn't an accident.
Copy !req
332. Uh, why aren't you at the pageant?
Copy !req
333. Peggy went with Buck Strickland.
Copy !req
334. I'm going a little later.
Copy !req
335. Did she fire you, too?
Copy !req
336. 'Cause you know, she fired me.
Copy !req
337. Now I heard you were still
an important part of team Peggy Hill.
Copy !req
338. I know you're feeling a little… miffed.
Copy !req
339. But you have to understand, your aunt
has always had a lot of confidence
Copy !req
340. about her looks which is good,
Copy !req
341. but now she's got herself
in kind of a bind.
Copy !req
342. She's either got to admit to herself
she can't win the truck and quit
Copy !req
343. or stay in the pageant and,
well, probably lose.
Copy !req
344. Either way, it's going to hurt.
Copy !req
345. Well, I guess I should feel bad for her,
Copy !req
346. but I don't.
Copy !req
347. Well, this won't work.
Copy !req
348. I cannot go out there like this.
Copy !req
349. - Is there something wrong?
- Yes.
Copy !req
350. All of a sudden my butt looks like
it's dragging on the floor.
Copy !req
351. Will you fix it? Fix it!
Copy !req
352. Hmm, do you have any duct tape, Mrs. Hill?
Copy !req
353. I used it all on my feet.
Copy !req
354. - Mr. Strickland.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
355. We need duct tape.
Copy !req
356. - Silver or gray?
- Silver.
Copy !req
357. All-purpose or premium grade?
Copy !req
358. Oh, what the hell,
I'm already in this for two grand.
Copy !req
359. What's another 90 cents?
Copy !req
360. - Tighter.
- Come on.
Copy !req
361. Ladies to the stage.
Copy !req
362. Come on, now, let's go, y'all.
Copy !req
363. Well, where's my half-jacket?
Copy !req
364. I need my half-jacket.
Copy !req
365. That's what makes this an ensemble
Copy !req
366. the half-jacket.
Copy !req
367. Oh.
Copy !req
368. Oh, come on, Peggy.
Copy !req
369. You know how to put on a jacket.
Copy !req
370. Pageant contestants across the street.
Copy !req
371. Come on, girls, hurry.
Watch your step.
Copy !req
372. Okay.
Copy !req
373. No!
Copy !req
374. Well, I guess this wasn't premium,
