1:24:00
Everything getting worse?
1:24:01
Yeah.
1:24:04
Everything's getting worse.
1:24:06
But it's also getting better.
1:24:10
- Yeah.
- Hm.
1:24:13
The Countess
has come to our aid.
1:24:15
The Rubber Rose Ranch has been
officially deeded over to the cowgirls.
1:24:20
I've been asked
to oversee the ranch
1:24:23
- For $300 a week.
- All right, huh?
1:24:26
And the Countess... he's not going to be
the vegetable doctors thought he was.
1:24:30
Here's a picture.
1:24:36
There he is.
1:24:42
Hmm...
I'm splitting the ranch.
1:24:46
Help me up.
1:24:54
Look, the westbound choo-choo's
out of here at 1:40. I'm on it.
1:25:01
Will you drive me
to the station, hmm?
1:25:08
Agh, don't ever bet
against paradox, ladies!
1:25:13
If complexity doesn't get you,
paradox will!
1:25:16
Ha-ha!
1:25:18
Ho-ho!
1:25:20
Hee-hee!
1:25:26
The brown paper bag
1:25:28
is the only thing
civilized man has produced
1:25:31
that does not seem
out of place in nature.
1:25:34
Crumpled into a wad
of wrinkles
1:25:37
like the fossilized brain
of a dryad,
1:25:40
blending with rock
and vegetation
1:25:42
as if it were
a burrowing owl's doormat
1:25:45
or a jackrabbit's
underwear,
1:25:47
a number eight
kraft paper bag
1:25:49
lay discarded
in the Oregon hills
1:25:52
and appeared to live
where it lay.
1:25:55
Once long ago,
it had borne a package of buns
1:25:59
and a jar of mustard
