I think he's dead.

You think we were the poor relations instead of them two upstairs?

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

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

Have you?

Well, Granny, you and me don't go to a whole heap of pictures, neither.

Well, I've seen enough to know who stars and who ain't.

That's more than he does.

Neither is he, which makes it all work out very nicely.

How do you know he's your cousin?

Because he says so, and a word of a clampet is good enough for me.

His being a clampet don't make him your cousin?

No, but his saying so does.

How come?

Because he's a clampet, and a word of a clampet is good enough for me.

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

Marlon Brando, yes.

Yeah, yeah, that's the fella.

Well now, Jethro here has got a right powerful hankering to be a movie star.

And I figured since you're using an actor nobody ever heard of, couldn't you just as well use Jethro?
