 Hello there. This is the family doctor. Well, Mary, how's the folks? Oh, they're fine. Thanks, Mr. May. Except that Moe has a kind of a misery in her left shoulder again. She thinks it's just new writers, but Pa thinks it's just nerve. Yeah, I understand. There's a heap of difference, especially when two folks thinks the same thing. Yes. Well, what do you have? I think I'll have a strawberry perfection parfait with cherries and nuts. Okay, that's what it'll be. I ain't seen you and Faith Windsor running around much elate. Oh, no? No. What's trouble? You two gals used to be regular pals, didn't you? Well, we still speak to each other, but as people grow older, they get farther apart. That's what Mama always says. Oh, she does, does she? Yes. Oh, hello, Dr. Adams. Hello, Pete. How do you do, Ella Mary? Hello, Dr. Adams. Well, Ella Mary, there's your strawberry perfection parfait. I hope it don't treat you as bad as it looks as though it might. Pete, are you still in the drug business? Huh? Oh, yeah, sure thing, you know, Doc, what do you have? Well, you might fill this prescription for Ella Mary's mother. How is she this morning, Ella Mary? Oh, all right, I guess. She still kind of aches, though. Oh, well, that's too bad. Fix that up right away, will you, Pete? Sure thing, you know. Well, I guess I might as well. Oh, hello, Faith. Hello, Dr. Adams. I haven't seen you, nor your dad, and your mother for a long time. How's all the family? How's that nuisance of a brother yours, too? Oh, we're all well, thank you. Oh. Miss Faith Windsor, may I have the extreme pleasure of presenting you? Oh, we know each other, thank you. How do you do, Miss Bliss? Well, how do you do, Miss Windsor? Somebody come in? Oh, hello, Faith. Hello, Mr. May. I'll have a strawberry perfection parfait with nuts and cherries and marshmallow, please. Oh, you will, huh? Wow, quite a run on that there, Commodity this morning, ain't there? Hmm. Well, Pete, when you get time off messing around with strawberries and cherries and prescription and have Johnny take it over to Blisses when he comes in. Oh. Oh, no, he's out showing chick around to the town, introducing him to folks and etc. Oh, I see. You see. Yes, Miss Windsor, I see well. Pete, you'll have to come up to the office pretty soon. Yeah, Doc, there you are, Faith. Thank you, Mr. May. Well, you got up to the office, Doc, something new? Yes, siry, Bob. I've got a new Venus chart. Venus chart? Oh, what's the use? I mean a chart showing the veins of the human system. Yeah, not a statue with no arms. Oh, honey. Now, you hush up, Pete May. Well, when you get time off from selling balloon tires and perfection pyre fades and caterpillar tractors in your drugstore, you might send that prescription over to... Oh, here comes Johnny now. Hello, folks. Hello, honey. Well, Mary, hello, Faith. Say, folks, I want you to meet a friend of mine, Chick Harper. Oh, yes, I think I've met Chick Harper before. Sort of unofficially, you might say. Well, yes, I remember you, Dr. Adams. You were with Chief Benson yesterday. Chick's going to take my place, folks. Yes, as I know. So Pete told me. Take your place? What do you mean, Johnny? I mean, well, I'm going to leave Cederton tomorrow night, and Chick's going to be working here in Mr. May's drugstore instead of me. Why? What's the matter, Ella Mary? Nothing. Nothing's the matter with me. Well, I'm all right. I just don't want any more of this perfection pyre fade. You don't feel so good again. Well, I think I'll be going home. Well, hey, wait a sec, Ella Mary. You can take this prescription up to your maw if you wait a sec. No, you can send it up. I'll be plowed for a furrow. Wait. Where are you going, Johnny? Why, I'm going back home. Home? Yeah, off to Denver. I've got a job waiting for me. Yeah, Austin, I've took Chick on in Johnny's place. Any friend of Johnny's is good enough for me. I'll listen. Why, uh, what's the trouble, Faith? Trouble? Yeah, you look kind of hailing. Maybe you better take care of her, Doc. No, I'm all right. Thanks. I've just had enough of that perfection pyre fade. That's all. Well, I'll see you all again. Goodbye. Well, I'll be plowed for a furrow. Not again, Pete. What's the matter with them two gals? Eh, Johnny, why don't you take Chick down to the bank and introduce him to Judge Windsor? You'll have to be taking the deposits down every day, won't you? That's right, Johnny. You'd better do that. Okay. That's a good idea. Come on, Chick. I'll see you where the bank is. Okay, swell. Say, what's this all about, Doc? Things are happening here. Just like a true-to-the-death mystery tale. Don't you know, Pete? Well, I know that Ella Mary Bliss and Faith Windsor have been kind of sweet on Johnny Camp ever since he came to town, but that don't mean that they're... It means, Pete, that you and I have watched those two young girls grow up from babyhood through the doll stage, through playing house, through grammar school, and now they're in high school. It means that they're young women now, Pete, with all the emotions and all the tenderness and all the tremendous power of their sex. They're no longer girls, Pete. They're young ladies. Hmm. Hmm. What do you know? I hadn't never thought of it that way, but you're a key wreck, Doc. Yep. They're young ladies. Well, I guess we'll all be down to the depot tomorrow evening to see Johnny off, won't we? Yes, I reckon we will, including the young ladies. Well, Johnny, so you're going to leave us? Yes, sir, Dr. Adams. I... Well, every man for himself is the same goes. Yes, that's right. Yes, we've all got to make our own decisions. But I'm sure the chick here is going to take care of all my work at the bar, and I'm sure he's going to leave us. Yes, sir, Dr. Adams, I... Well, every man for himself is the same goes. Yes, that's right. Yes, we've all got to make our own decisions. Well, the chick here is going to take care of all my work at May's drugstore. Well, even better than I did. I'm sure he's going to try it, Johnny. Oh, sure you are, kid. Oh, say, look who's coming out of the station. Huh? Oh, Bill Benson. Well, Johnny, you must be quite an important personage to have the chief of police of Cederton come down to bid you goodbye. Yeah. Well, Johnny, I understand you're leaving our ferocity. Yes, that's right, chief. We'd all be sorry to see you leave, my boy. Well, folks. But I'm sure the young friend of yours is going to take care of things all right. Yes, sir. I can always tell when I see an honest man. No matter what a man's past life has been, I always say, a man's a man for all that and all that, as the fellow says. What fellow? Well, Shakespeare reckoned the word, but chick, I hope you don't mind me checking up on your night yesterday. Of course not, chief Benson. And if there's anything I can ever do for you, just you let Bill Benson know about it, and it shall be done, yes, sir. If your new boss, Pete May, ever gets enough money in that drug store isn't for you to need a guard to escort you to the bank, just call on your friend Bill Benson. Oh, well, thanks. Well, goodbye, Johnny. And we'll miss you in Cederton, but our best wishes go with you for good health and a long life. Thank you, chief. The box has been unloaded off in that mail car. I've got to go and check up on it, sir. See you all again. Goodbye, chief. Goodbye. Say, look. What's the matter? Here comes Pete, and look who he's got with him. Gee, that's funny. Well, a very bliss and faith-winder. Yes, it is funny, isn't it? It's very peculiar that those two girls should want to come down to the depot. Say, goodbye, dear. Isn't it, Johnny? Uh, yeah, well, sort of. Hello, Mr. May. Nice of you to come down to see me off. Say, uh, Johnny. Yeah? These two girls, uh, young ladies, have a question they'd like to ask you before you get on that train there. Okay. What is it? Well, they just like to kind of know why it is you're a leaving Cederton. Don't you like it here? Sure I like it here, but my wife has a job waiting for me out in Denver. What? My wife. Didn't I ever mention her before? Gee, she does swell go. I'm going to bring her back here to Cederton sometime, so all you folks can meet her. Your wife? Yes. She's been working out West for quite a while. Well, I guess I better be getting on the train. So long, everybody. I'll write to you, Pete, and you too, Dr. Adams, and I'll be seeing you sometime. Goodbye. Goodbye, Chick. So on, Johnny. I guess Johnny's gone all right, hasn't he? Yes, Chick. He's gone. Oh, what the... Hey, young ladies, you mustn't do that. You can't act like that over a married man. Pete, hush up. Oh, yeah, sure. Of course. Oh, well, a married. Faith. Yes. Hey, I just realized... Oh, what is, Doc? What do you mean? Well, there's no one up to the drugstore, Pete. Hey, that's right. You'd best be getting on up there, Chick. That's your job from now on, you know? Yes, sir. Give Chick your keys, Pete. Oh, and I think you two young ladies are the married and faith, and you'd better take Mr. Harper up to the drugstore and sort of show him the way through town. He hasn't been here very long, you know. All right. That's right. Well, come on, Mr. Harper. Let's go up Holgate Street. No, no. I think Maple Street is prettier. Yeah, but it's longer there. Oh, it is not, and it's the whole... Pete May, what are you laughing at? That was just a thinking, Doc. What? Your name should not be Dr. Grant Adams. Oh, no. What do you mean? Your name should be Cupid. What are you talking about? This is the family doctor. I'll be in to see you again right soon. Goodbye.
