All your guests. And I liked it when you played Connie Smith records." Ralph: "Aw, I wonder why." Marty: "Little partial." Ralph: "Well, I was partial to Connie Smith as well. And Connie Smith was partial to Dallas Frazier. Turns out that Dallas Frazier has written 68 hit songs for Connie Smith." Marty: "That's right." Ralph: "My friends, I thought it would be very appropriate since Dallas is here for him to watch Connie do one of his songs." Marty: "Great idea." Ralph: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Connie Smith." Marty: "Yeah." Ralph: "Come on out here Connie." Marty: "Thank you, Ralph." Connie sang "Run Away Little Tears."

Have a seat. Brought you a chair. You know Dallas and Ralph. Whatcha got in mind to play for us?" Leroy: "Grandfather's Clock." Marty: "One of the precious songs of all time." Leroy: "And I sure hate to do it." Marty: "What? Well get it over with." Leroy: "I am." Marty: "All right." Leroy: "Right now. Here we go." Marty: "All right." Leroy: "Take one." Marty: "All right. He's off to a good start." Leroy: "Yeah, I about forgot about this." Marty: "Uh ha. Yeah." Leroy: "Hickory, dickory dock. Two mice ran up the clock. The clock struck one. The other got away.
