- BO:
Ya-hoo!
- VIRGE:
Go get him, Bo!
Make time, Bo! Get on him, Bo!
Turn him over, Bo!
Get him over! Get him over!
Good time! Good!
What was my time?
- Five-eight.
- Five...
That's good enough to win just about
every prize they got at that rodeo!
I'll give to you a paper of pins
And that's the way our love begins
If you will marry me, me, me
If you will marry me
I'll give to you a feathery bed
With downypillows for your head
If you will marry me, me, me
If you will marry me
But you don't want my paper or pins
And you don't want my feathery bed
You want my house and money instead
That is plain to see
Well, here they are
Take everything
My house, my money
My wedding ring
And in the bargain I'll throw in me
If you will marry me
Bo, when you was five,
I just throwed you on a horse, smack!
And there you was ridin'.
- Remember?
- Yup.
When you was eight,
I throwed you in the creek, splash!
And there you was swimmin'.
- Ain't that right?
- Sure, Virge.
Splash!
Bo, you're 21 years old
and we're on our way to
a big city, Phoenix, Arizona.
It's time you met up with a gal.
A gal?
Oh, it ain't nothin' to be scared of.
In a way, women and swimmin'
is pretty much the same.
You got good reflexes, Bo.
You'll make out just fine.
(HORN HONKS)
So long, Bo.
Bring back some prize money.
Take it easy, Orville!
Two for Phoenix, Arizona.
We goin' down for the rodeo.
I figure I'm gonna win me just about
every prize they got down there.
Well, that's nice.
Now sit down someplace.
You got a long ride ahead of you.
VIRGE:
Bo, the lady's hat!
- Oh, sorry, ma'am.
- Why don't you look where you're goin'?
It was an accident, sir.
He ain't used to travelin'.
- This is his first time off the ranch.
- Virge, that's a lie!
That's a lie and you know it!
I been all the way to Helena.
That was when he was 12 years old
to have his tonsils out.
Well, that still counts!
Here, give me that.
(ALL SINGING)
If you will marry me, me, me
If you will marry me
I'll give to you a petticoat red
All stitched around
with golden thread...
Virge?
I've been thinkin'.
You know, about what you said.
What was that?
You know. About me findin' a gal.
Oh, what... What about it, Bo?
I don't know anythingabout gals, Virge.
Nothin' at all.
Well, that's what I mean.
It's about time you learned.
It ain't nothin' to be scared of, Bo.
You know how much you like swimmin'
when you got used to it.
Besides, I know the idea
crossed your mind once or twice.
I seen you lookin' at them
pictures in Orville's magazines.
I'll give to you a feathery bed
With downypillows for your head...
Maybe I glanced at them pictures
a couple of times.
But if I do find me a gal,
it ain't gonna be one of them gals
from all those magazines.
I already decided.
I'm gonna get me a
angel.
- An angel?
- That's right.
I wouldn't set my sights
too high if I were you, Bo.
You just figure on pickin' out
some plain-lookin' little ol' gal,
with a cooperatin' nature
and a good personality.
I mean, we gotta be realistic.
What's some angelgonna want
with a cowhand like you?
What's that got to do with it?
That steer this mornin',
he didn't wanna get throwed, did he?
Well, I throwed him.
Some wild horse you're breakin',
he don't wanna get broke, do he?
But you don't let what he wants stop you.
What makes you think
a girl's any different?
This trip is gonna be mighty educational.
Kiss me quick and go, my honey
Kiss me quick and go to cheat sur...
Listen, Virge.
I'm gonna find me an angel.
- Are you ready, Virge?
- Anytime.
Turn him out!
- BO:
Ya-hoo!
- VIRGE:
Go get him, Bo!
Make time, Bo! Get on him, Bo!

Get him over! Get him over!
