Repent, oh, ye sinners!
Oh, ye children of darkness...
behold...
the New Moses.
Fight down the demon rum!
Brother...
I was once a sinner like you.
I was a hog.
I was a slave of the demon rum.
A child of hell!
Yes, sir.
But I was saved by this ribbon.
It raised me from a hog to a man.
It can do the same for you.
Raise your right hand and
take the pledge.
Brother, what do I see in
your hand?
Don't be a hog!
Cast the enemy away!
Bury demon rum in the waters of
the mighty Mississippi!
Fling it away, I say!
I swear that henceforth...
liquor shall never touch my lips.
-Me too.
-Bless you, brother.
Bless you.
Look at that. You see that? See
that picture on there?
Yeah, that's Pocahontas, the
wonderful little...
Indian woman.
You know, you all know the
story of Pocahontas.
You know? That saved John
Smith's life, you know?
Well, John Smith wanted to get
this remedy from...
Pocahontas, you know?
Course, it's just made out of pure
roots and herbs...
that she picked up on the hillside.
But she wouldn't give him this
remedy. He couldn't get it.
He had to marry her to get it.
Oh, yes, he did. He had to marry
her to get the remedy.
And that's how it got into
the Smith family.
And that's been handed down from
generation to generation...
on down...
and that's how it come clear
down to me.
-My great-grandmother was a Smith.
-Mine too, Doc!
Lookee here, my friend. You don't
look good. Now, you are ill.
You are sick, and you
don't know it.
Well, l-I do feel kind
of bad, Doc.
I knew it.
I could just look at you- Would
you mind stepping up here?
Just get up here on the platform,
will ya?
Now, you folks know that this man
is no confederate of mine.
I never saw him before.
Now, along in the spring, just
about the time...
you should go to plowin'...
why, you feel kind of tired,
don't you?
You're right, Doc.
And you know that I'm right,
don't you?
You know what that is? That's
spring sickness,...
that's what it is.
It's spring sickness, and the only
thing that'll cure...
that is Pocahontas.
Pocahontas. You know, the main
thing about Pocahontas is...
that you can't do a tap of work...
you're not allowed to turn a hand
until the whole bottle is empty.
You mean, I can't even sharpen the
ax for the old woman to cut wood?
Why, you can't even hitch up
the mules for her.
I'll take a bottle, Doc.
Its 50 cents a bottle. l-I haven't
got change for...
that dollar here.
You don't mind just takin' another
bottle, do you?
Because, you know, you're gonna
and that'll carry you over
till I get back.
Now, who else wants a bottle?
You don't have to work.
You can lay off anytime.
I've got a few.
Complete relaxation while you're
taking it. Here you are.
Who'll have another bottle here?
Hey, Doc, let me have one
of them two bits.
Im awful sorry, lady. I haven't
got any more of...
the 10-cent ones.
They're all 25 cents, ma'am.
I didn't have enough.
There you are.
Who'll have another?
-Morning, Captain Eli.
-Hello, Doc.
Make yourself at home.
Say, what in thunder are you doin'?
Im just teaching you how to
salute my boat.
The Claremore Queen. Look at
her layin' over there.
Yeah.
Give her two more toots.
Say, that's four.
-That's a-That's a double salute.
-No.
Just honoring the unburied dead,
that's all.
Yeah, don't-don't try to poke
any fun at that.
