ROY ROGERS: Hey, what's going on here?

ED: Running wild horses, if it's any of your business.

ROY ROGERS: Get up.

ED: Well, well, I might have known. Roy Rogers, the movie cowboy.

ROY ROGERS: Yeah, get up.

ED: Pretty brave with all your friends backing you up.

COOKIE: Hold it. Stay on your horses. I'll see that this is on the up-and-up.

Come on, Roy.

ROY ROGERS: Not the way you're doing it.

COOKIE: Go on, now, get on. I got some work to do.

ROY ROGERS: Take it easy, fella. You're not hurt so bad. Come on now, on your feet. Lead the rest of your pals back out on the range. Come on, fella.

COOKIE: Ho! Ho! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
