[Boone has come up with yet another idea to cut down Slappy's tree by crudely disguising himself as a woodpecker]
[singing offscreen] Daniel Boone was a big dang bird. Yes, a really big bird. But he didn't know that his disguise was pretty absurd.
QUIET, you dadgum idiots! This is a dang good disguise. [laughs] That old squirrel will think I'm just a big woodpecker. I'll chop down this tree right in front of her. [using a fake beak to peck at the tree]
[Slappy is serving Skippy when she and the tree get shaken by Boone's pecking]
There's no rest for the elderly. [ppens door] Hey, are you Daniel Boone?
Shoot, no! I'm a big woodpecker.
Get out of here with that woodpecker thing there. You're Boone.
No, I ain't. My daddy was a big woodpecker, and his daddy before him. Can't you see how I'm a-peckin' at your tree for bugs and such? [looks innocent]
I guess you really are a big woodpecker.
Dang straight!
Then, here, I made you some woodpecker lunch. [offers Boone a plate full of live bugs, including a dungbeetle]
[nervously disgusted] That's...right neighbourly of you, ma'am. [forced to keep up his charade, eats the bugs, his face turning green as his chews]
Yeah, there's nothing like dead bugs mixed with manure, dirt, and rotten bark, eh, Woody?
[Boone finally retches, covers his mouth and runs off into the distance]
[singing offscreen] Daniel Boone was a great big guy. Yes, a big sick guy. He lost his lunch all over the trees and sky.
That's nice singing. They remind me of Up with People.
