I done decided I want to be a movie star.

I had you scared there for a minute, didn't I?

Can I be a movie star like Jethro?

It won't be a masquerade once I make a picture with Marlon Brando.

I ain't never seen him in a movie picture.

I give that up to be a brain surgeon.

Well, I want to be a movie star, too.

I declare early, your pa's acting like a dumb fool.

Well, I know you're figuring on making a picture with this fella, Brando?

I bet you you're gonna be a bigger movie star than Pearl White.

Cousin Jed, I think that you have come up with a great new discovery.

I tried hinting at it, but it just don't seem to take a hold.

If I could just figure a way to get around Granny, I'd have it made.

I know you're powerful busy being a movie star, learning your parts and all, but if you could spare me a minute, I'd like to ask you a few... Quite all right, Cousin Jed.

Now Jethro, before I speak to Cousin Jake, you sure it is what you want to do for a living?

Well, I reckon movie picture actors like Cousin Jake are used to living a different kind of life from us, Granny.

Now, Granny, I don't hardly think it's fitting for you to be calling a big movie star like Cousin Jake poor relations.

Of course, I could anger myself up and put a stop to the whole thing, but I'd much rather they'd see for themselves.

Folks, the next number is a special from my cousin Jake here, because it was him who made me what I am right now.
