Green Acres1965
Gilbert Henshaw:
Why did you move out there? Were you disbarred?
Oliver Wendell Douglas:
No. I came out here to get away from the rat race of the city. Out here where I could breathe the pure air [background fife begins playing "Yankee Doodle"] work the fertile soil. Where a man can plant his seeds and watch 'em shoot upwards toward the sun and the sky, like our forefathers did. The farmer's the backbone of America. It's his gnarled hands, aching back that gives America its great strength. Without the farmer...
Gilbert Henshaw:
How do you do that?
Oliver Wendell Douglas:
How do I do what?
Gilbert Henshaw:
Talk and play the fife at the same time?
