Part 19: The Sheriff's car, parked before Ozzie's house. Doris calls.
Sheriff: Whattaya got, beautiful?
Doris: Thank God. I was afraid somethin' happened to you.
Sheriff: I'm fine. What's up?
Ozzie exits the house, puffing on a pipe, shotgun in one hand, thermos in the other. He
kisses Harriet and approaches the Sheriff's car. His old badge is pinned to his jacket.
Doris: Where's the FBI, for heaven's sake?
Sheriff: Maybe they can't find the town. Did Angel check in yet?
Doris: You just missed her.
Sheriff: Ring me the minute she calls. Did you lock yourself in?
Doris: Angel asked the same thing. You two sure think alike.
Sheriff: Don't start in on me now. Hey, everything's gonna be all right. Ray Oswald's back on the job.
Ozzie: Hello, beautiful.
Doris: Hallelujah, we're saved.
The Sheriff puts down the microphone and hands Ozzie a cellular phone.
Sheriff: Know how to use one of these?
Ozzie: I'm old, not senile.
Sheriff: "Beautiful" says a complaint just came in from the north side, near the old highway. Some drunk on a motorcycle.
Ozzie: I'm on it.
Sheriff: Don't be a hero now.
Ozzie: Don't you worry 'bout me. I plan to be at your wake.
The Sheriff chuckles. Ozzie turns away. As he approaches his pickup, he has a flashback of himself boarding an Army truck in Korea. The Sheriff watches as Harriet,
obviously worried, goes inside.
Sheriff: Damn.
RIP Harvey Korman, 81, who passed away on May 29th. His work with Carol Burnett and Mel Brooks kept Americans laughing through good and bad times. Here's a link to the famous dentist sketch he did with Tim Conway. It is a classic, three minutes of LOL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9T8i4FkNVo
