Key Discussion & Story Points

1. The Plot to Take Over the Hargis Ranch (03:33–05:48)

• Background: After the death of Jason Hargis, his young son Bobby inherits a vast cattle ranch. Arthur Dobson, Bobby's uncle and guardian, schemes to take control of these holdings.
• Conspiracy Begins: Dobson hires Kirby Lawson, the ranch foreman, for a deadly job:
  • Dobson: "As Bobby's guardian and uncle, I stand to take over every bit of Jason's property if Bobby dies." (03:52)
  • Lawson: "You bring the boy out to the ranch. I'll see to it that he never leaves." (04:41)

2. Cisco and Pancho Enter the Scene (05:48–07:39)

• Cisco and Pancho, old friends of the ranch managers (the Robertsons), are riding in for a peaceful visit but quickly stumble into trouble—a stagecoach ambush with gunfire.
• Cisco displays suspicion about Lawson, foreshadowing future conflict.

3. Stagecoach Ambush & Heroics (06:27–08:44)

• Ambush: Cisco and Pancho witness an attack on a stagecoach carrying Bobby and Dobson. The driver is killed; Cisco and Pancho chase off the bandits and stop the runaway horses.
• Meet Bobby: Bobby is exhilarated by the adventure, while Dobson feigns concern.
  • Bobby: "Wow. Bandits and shooting. Everything just like in books, Uncle Arthur!" (07:42)

4. The Suspicious Sombrero & Quick-Draw Showdown (09:09–11:52)

• Clue: Cisco notices Lawson’s hat has a bullet hole—the same kind inflicted on the escaping bandit. Lawson tries to bluff, claiming it was a trick shot bet.
• Show-off: Lawson attempts to impress with gunplay, but Cisco shows him up:
  • Pancho: "Hit that sombrero three times!" (11:50)
  • Narrator: "Six bullet holes with three bullets." (11:52)

5. Attempts on Bobby’s Life – The River Incident (13:28–19:33)

• Dobson and Lawson’s next plan—spook the horses pulling the buckboard with shots as they cross a perilous, flood-swollen river, hoping to kill Bobby (and anyone with him).
• Dramatic Rescue: Bobby is thrown into the river; Cisco dives in after him. The loyal horse Diablo jumps into the torrent to help, making for a heart-pounding, cinematic rescue:
  • Bobby (scared): "That waterfall Mrs. Robertson talked about just up ahead. I'm scared, Cisco." (18:42)
  • Cisco: "Don't lose your head, Bobby. We still have a chance. Diablo, he has followed us downstream!" (18:48)

6. The Villains Get Exposed (22:04–24:07)

• Cisco presents evidence: matching bullet holes, suspicious behavior, and physical clues tied the attempted murders to Dobson and Lawson.
• Confrontation: Lawson tries to draw on Cisco but is instantly disarmed:
  • Narrator: "Cisco shot the gun clean out of Kirby's hand." (23:24)
• The plot unravels. The Robertsons and Pancho defend Cisco’s integrity. Dobson and Lawson are ultimately arrested.

7. Justice and New Beginnings (26:21–29:12)

• With the danger passed, Bobby enjoys a warm meal, safe at last and surrounded by friends.
• Humorous End: Pancho is cajoled into teaching Bobby cowboy skills, leading to one of the episode’s signature light-hearted moments:
  • Bobby: "Hey Pancho, you teach me how to shoot a gun?" (27:00)
  • Pancho: "Well…maybe better if Pancho learned you how to use the bullwhip!" (27:15)
• The Robertsons become Bobby's de facto family, as Cisco and Pancho wrap up another adventure.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Uncle Dobson’s Greed:
  • "There are many things on a ranch that might happen to a young boy. Accidental, of course." (04:06)
• Cisco’s Calm Heroism:
  • "Now put your hands on my shoulders and relax. I will swim to shore like this." (18:27)
• Lawson’s Threat:
  • "Remember it. Next time they cross me, I'll ventilate you just like I did that hat." (11:40)
• Pancho’s Wit and Light Touch:
  • "Pancho shows you how to snap the whip. And how to knock a fly off a rock. And how to make the bandidos jump when you hit the seat of their pantalones!" (27:15)
• Resolving the Mystery:
  • Cisco: "Anyone with half an eye can see these two plotted to kill Bobby before he even set foot on the rancho." (23:59)
  • "If Lawson had fired at the sombrero, we would have heard the gunshot. That's right. We did not hear one. The first bullet holes…were made by my guns when Pancho and I surprised him dry gulching the stage coach." (24:13)

Now. The Cisco Kid and our exciting story, Heritage of Death. One of the strangest stories to come out of the west in the early days of the frontier actually began in a large eastern city. When Jason Hargis died and his will was read it was discovered that Jason owned a huge cattle ranch in the territory of Arizona. This ranch, together with his other vast holdings was left to Jason's young son, Bobby. Our story opens in the eastern city as Bobby's uncle and guardian, Arthur Dobson, is talking to a hulk of a man in western garb named Kirby Lawson. I had you make this trip all the way from Arizona for a very good reason, Kirby. I figured you had something important in mind to pay my expenses all the way east and back. Mr. Dobson. You'll be worth it if you're the kind of a man I think you are. You got some kind of job you want done? I have. I think you're the man to do it. I'm listening to anything you got to say, Mr. Dobson. As Bobby's guardian and uncle, I stand to take over every bit of Jason's property if Bobby dies. Like I said, I'm listening to you, Mr. Dobson. There are many things on a ranch that might happen to a young boy. Accidental, of course. Of course. But I ain't the only one on that ranch. I'm only the foreman of the place. Robertson's manager. All the more reason for you to see that my plan is carried out. Once the boy is out of the way, you get a big share at the ranch and we won't need the Robertsons. You got yourself a deal, Mr. Dobson. When's the boy going out there? I'll bring him west in two weeks. Meanwhile, you'll return to the ranch and tell Mr. And Mrs. Robertson to expect us. We picked out a good time for the trip. Spring roundup season's coming. I'll take care of my part of the bargain. You bring the boy out to the ranch. I'll see to it that he never leaves. Cisco. This the poor town we go through. The fourth time we do not let Pancho stop to eat. There'll be plenty of time and plenty to eat, Pancho, when we arrive at the Hargus rancho. Cisco, why Senor and Senor Robinson not get their own rancho? Because they have a lifetime job of.

[E]

Managing the Hargus rancho for young Bobby.

[B]

He did a good job. Possum mine worked on that rancho. They're not got that poor man.

[E]

You mean Kirby Lawson?

[B]

Well, I do not care for him very much either. Pancho Parcel like that curvy Lawson hombre. I do not like the way he.

[E]

Handles horses and cattle.

[B]

I think he has a mean streak in him. Better he not show that mean streak when Cisco around. Pancho, we are not looking for trouble. You have been invited for a quiet visit. We are going to do everything in our power to see it stays that way. The shots seem to come from the.

[E]

Other side of this hill, Pancho. Let us go take a look.

[B]

Up.

[E]

Over the top of the hill, Pancho. Not much of a climb. Faster the up. Wonder what those gunshots could be.

[C]

Ho, ho.

[D]

This Kalu.

[B]

Go to Umry street and change the stage code.

[E]

After them, Pancho. Hump ya. Help ya.

[D]

Go. It look like that driver hurts his soul.

[E]

The horse is running away. Hey, Pancho, try to draw the gunfire. Those bandidos shoot at them, Pancho. Shoot Cisco. Bueno, I know. We are after them. They turn and run away.

[D]

Cisco.

[E]

Now, Pancho, you must try to stop the stagecoach. I think I shot a bullet through the sombrero of the big ombre, Pancho. Pancho think so too.

[D]

So his belt getting close to the stagecoach.

[E]

See, those horses are tiring up. Yo, Hop.

[D]

He's going to the back of the lead team.

[E]

I do not think it'll be necessary, Pancho. Go right on the offside of the leaders.

[D]

Hey, just go right on the near side.

[E]

Now, Pancho. Grab them.

[B]

Pancho.

[E]

Let him just go.

[B]

Oh, no.

[E]

Ho, ho, ho, ho.

[D]

Wow. Band and children. Everything just like in books, Uncle Arthur.

[B]

Calm down, both. We nearly lost our lives.

[E]

Are you all right, senor?

[B]

Thanks to you, sir. We are private Dead Sea School.

[D]

Gee, I'm sorry. I wanted to see a Hoda. I didn't want anybody to get hurt.

[B]

I wish Pancho and I had met with you sooner, young senor. Perhaps you could have prevented it. The incident is regrettable. We certainly appreciate what you did, sir. I am Arthur Dobson, and this is my nephew, Bobby Hargis.

[E]

Bobby Hargis?

[B]

That the young Nino Cisco and Pancho talk about.

[D]

You were talking about me? How'd you know me?

[B]

We only know of you, young Sayor. We are good friends of Senor and Senora Robertson. We go to visit them now. Oh, then you're headed for the ranch. See Senor Dobson. Pancho can drive the stagecoach from here. Did you see the faces of the hombres who shouted the coach? No, mister. Your pardon, senor. I am the Cisco Kid. And Ms. Monteiro is called Pancho. Buenos dias, Senor Thompson. Buenos dias, Pancho. Yo, Senor Bobby.

[D]

Hi, Pancho. One of these. I'm glad to know you.

[B]

I'm glad to know you, Pancho. And you, Cisco. Gracias. Do you know why those homies tried to stop your stay? The sea is not carry no gold, Sisko. Oh, I can't think of any reason why they should attack us since you two are the only passengers. Those bandidos must have been after one of you. Why, that's ridiculous. No one knew we were coming out here except The Robertsons and Mr. Lawson.

[D]

Uncle Arthur.

[B]

Oh, yes, yes, Mr. Lawson. He probably heard about it from the Robertsons.

[D]

No, he didn't hear it from the Robertsons when he was back east. You told him.

[B]

Oh, yes, yes, yes, of course. I'd forgotten about that, Bobby. Those two bandits were probably after my money. No, senor. In this part of the country, bandidos do not attack a stagecoach for money unless they are sure it's carrying a good sized shipment of gold.

[D]

What were they after, Sisica?

[B]

I do not know, young senor. But I think I can identify the man who murdered the driver of this stage. And when I do, he will pay for it. You botched your job like a rank amateur, Kirby. Now look here, Dobson. I had no idea Cisco and his partner show up. I couldn't chance letting them recognize me. Well, how did they happen to be invited here at this time? Don't know. Methodless had a roundup. I've heard of this Cisco Kid. The report is that he's very fast with the six gun. He's fast all right. I'm thinking. There's someone I know who's faster. Meaning you? Meaning me. Well, don't do anything foolhardy. It's the Kid we want, not Cisco. I'll get the kid all right. In the meantime, if Cisco gets in my way, I'll get him too. You better be able to back your words because here comes Cisco and his partner right now. Senor Larsen, I would like to have a word with you. I was just telling Kirby about the dead driver of our coach. That was histo when to talk that Lawson hombre about. What's he jawing about? Cisco? Your sombrero hombre. There's a bullet hole in it. What about it? I shot a bullet to the sombrero of the hombre that killed that driver. That don't mean nothing. Mine ain't the only hat with a Carl's bad crease in it in this part of the country. Yours got the bullet hole in it. Why? Why don't you explain that bullet hole, Kirby? I would like to hear your explanation, Senor Lawson. Well, I. Sure, sure. I bet Mr. Dobson a new hat plus $20 I could put two holes through this sombrero with a single shot. That's correct. I'll pay you as soon as you return to the ranch house. Kirby. Maybe you'd like a personal demonstration, Cisco. Aren't you like to see you do this, Hombe. And what? I'll throw this sombrero over there. How's this? Now we see if it got two bullet holes and one bullet. They got good luck, gents. Puncture twice clean through. You are accurate with a 6 tons of your Lawson. Remember it. Next time they cross me, I'll ventilate you just like I did that hat before you try it, senor. Remember this. Pancho. Throw that sombrero into the air.

[D]

Bueno.

[B]

It's easy to go.

[E]

Hit that sombrero three times.

[B]

That is excellent marksmanship. Here is your sombrero, Senor Larson. As you can see, there are six more holes in it. Six bullet holes with three bullets. Who told you you could shoot up my hat? You have already won a new one from Senor Dobson. Why of course. Kirby. You'll get your new hat. There's no need for you and Cisco to have any misunderstanding. We will have none, senor. You see, I do not like to be crossed either. I am sure we will both remember this Sombre. If my plan works, Captain, I'm gonna get rid of Cisco, Pancho, Robertson and Bobby all at the same time. What do you propose to do, Kirby? You saw them all leaving the Buckboard, didn't you? They were on their way to church. Did you see the team? Harry was driving them horses seemed a bit skittish. Skittish and gun shy. How does that particular team enter into your plan? They net across the river to get to church. The river swollen from a spring flood. Yes, I notice it's a raging torrent. A bullet over those horses heads just before they're crossing the bridge will make runaways of them. Yeah. And you think this will cause the Buckboard and his passengers to be thrown into the river? I know it will. Just to make sure they don't come out alive. I'm gonna be there with my rif. You see. I told you there'd be plenty of room for all of us, Miss Buckboard. Madge tell you that?

[D]

I still say it's too proud of Harry. But since we're all going to church, it's all right. What do my uncle Arthur Jin goes.

[B]

Glad to hear the uncle say. He go to inspect the new cops with that Kirby Umbre Bobby. Does Senor Doves know anything about gravel, Senora Mon?

[D]

No more than I know about driving an eight horse hitch.

[B]

I don't know why he's got to inspect calves on Sunday anyhow.

[E]

Slow down now.

[B]

Oh boy. That is what I have wondered about also, Senor Harry.

[D]

Why are we slowing down, Mr. Robertson?

[B]

I cause the bridge up ahead. One of these horses is pretty skitty. That river is swollen from the spring flood. There is a powerful current to the river. And that river strong enough to drown anyone but swall in it.

[D]

It ain't the worst of it, Contra. There's a 50 foot fall about a.

[B]

Quarter mile down river. This critter on the offside is gun shy. I wouldn't have hitched him but all the other horses were turned out to plaster. Calm down now.

[D]

Sit in now you drive careful, Harry. Bobby, I'd feel a lot better if you'd climb up off that luggage rack and sit in the back seat with Cisco and Poncho. What's fun sitting back here, Mrs. Robertson? I can let my feet dangle. They almost touch the ground.

[B]

Senora. Mad little Nino has got to have some fun.

[D]

All right, Bobby, but you hang on.

[B]

Cisco look like he's thinking about trouble. I was just thinking about that curbio hombre and Senor Dobson. What do you think about him, Crispo, Huh? There was something peculiar about those bullet holes in that sombrero business.

[D]

Hey Cisco, look. There's your horse following you.

[E]

Mighty me at Diablo, Cisco.

[B]

Well, I'll be dead blamed on that critter get loose.

[D]

Harry, you stop turning around and tend to your driving.

[E]

Diablo must have jumped the corral fence.

[B]

In front of us.

[D]

Boy, I wouldn't give to have a horse like that. Careful now, Harry, we're getting to the bridge.

[B]

Either stop telling me how to drive mad. You take the reins yourself.

[E]

What detonation. Whoa. Whoa there.

[D]

Running away?

[E]

Head across the bridge, Cisco. Move over and find you so I can reach Bobby. Bobby fell into the river. I must try to save him. Cisco.

[D]

Bobby.

[E]

They both be drowned in the river.

[B]

And it seems that the flood swollen waters of the turbulent river will carry Cisco and Bobby to certain death. In just a moment we'll return to the Cisco Kid.

[B]

And now back to the Cisco Kid and our gripping story Heritage of Death. Arthur Dobson, the evil guardian of Bobby Hargis, is in collusion with Kirby Lawson to do away with young Bobby on the way to church in a buckboard. Cisco, Pancho, Bobby and the managers of the Hargis ranch, Harry and Madge Robertson, must cross a bridge over a flood swollen river. As they do, the horses are frightened by bullets from the rifle of Kirby Lawson and run away. Bobby is thrown into the raging river and Cisco dives in to save him now. Help. Help.

[D]

I'm crowding.

[E]

Keep firing Bobby. I'm coming after you.

[D]

I'll try Cisco.

[E]

Now put your hands on my shoulders and relax. I will swim to shore like this is.

[B]

See? See?

[E]

Do not put your hands around my neck or you will choke me. See? I cannot swim against it. Pulling us downstream.

[D]

That waterfall Mrs. Robertson talked about just up ahead. I'm scared, sister.

[E]

Don't lose your head Bobby. We still have a chance. What are you gonna do there on the shore? Diablo. He has followed us downstream.

[D]

We have those whips.

[E]

Hey Bobby.

[B]

He can.

[E]

Yeah. Diablo.

[D]

Diablo. He's coming in. Fisko. He's coming in right after us.

[B]

Oh, he would.

[E]

Bobby. Diablo can swim Strongly enough to buck this current here, Diablo.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[E]

There now, Bobby, you hold up my shoulders. I will hold on to Diablo's tail.

[D]

Why don't we climb on his back?

[E]

The horse cannot swim with anyone on his back, Bobby. He will get us out of here.

[B]

This way. All right.

[E]

Up there. Come on. Make for sure. Give Duck.

[D]

Just doing it, Cisco. The Apple's the best horse in the whole world.

[E]

Here's to me. Bobby.

[D]

Bobby. Bobby, are you all right? Sure, Mrs. Robertson. Diappol's saving us. You all right?

[E]

Safe, aren't you? We can wait out now. Come on.

[B]

I never saw anything like that in my life.

[E]

Sisco chasing you. Harry. Diablo has saved my life more than once.

[D]

Ah, good, Diablo. Good boy.

[E]

Where did that gunshot that made the horse's bolt come from?

[B]

The move behind that heel, Cisco.

[E]

Let me have your guns, Pancho.

[B]

Mine are wet.

[D]

Are you going after him, Cisco?

[E]

Here I am, Bobby.

[D]

Have to go home and get Bobby some dry clothes. He'll take his cool all right.

[B]

Hold.

[E]

Diablo ho.

[D]

Now.

[E]

Huh?

[B]

You can't ride Diablo without a bridle, Cisco.

[E]

I have done it before. I can guide Diablo by his mane and the tone of my voice. Gracias, Pancho. Ah, bueno. Your guns are in good order. Punch you and ready for action. Humpty up.

[B]

Ya.

[E]

Gah.

[B]

Hey, Santo. Punch.

[E]

You never see Cisco from Mad.

[D]

Cisco, be careful.

[B]

By thunder. It's the killer who shot that rifle at us that ought to be careful. Cisco's after him with blood in his eye. I can't figure that buckboard not going over into the river, Dobson. I certainly thought it would when Cisco jumped in after the boy. Kirby. That Sisko's got luck. Lots of it. But it ain't gonna last forever. Well, you never can tell, lady. Fortune smiles upon those who live dangerously. What's that? I was merely thinking aloud. Well, Kirby, Sisko has spoiled your plans twice. This time I'll get him. So you're ready to try against him a third time, eh? We'll have to eliminate Cisco if we're ever going to get Bobby out of the way. I'm right handed with a six gun, Dobson. So is Cisco. Remember that sombrero. I am. That was only a test for a sure shot, not a fast draw. No, Kirby. This time it'll have to be more subtle. You're going to have to use brains, not brawn. Figuring instead of fisticuffs. Whatever you figure out, I can handle. What is it? We're going to dig a pit, Mr. Cisco. Kid's going to Fall into it? You mean with a shovel? No, my friend, with a pot. The plot spelled death for Cisco and Bobby. Auntie Natino, San Francisco Jet. I ain't worried about Cisco. I'm worried about Dal hombre Winner. Hope he gets him. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[D]

Hey, look. Here comes uncle Arthur and Mr. Lawson. Never mind about them, Bobby. To the house you go and to change those wet clothes. Oh, I want to tell them what happened to him.

[B]

You better go along, Bobby. You can tell them later.

[C]

Come on, Bobby.

[D]

We'll have a glass of milk at some gooseberry pie. Can I have the pint too?

[B]

Gooseberry pie, Pancho? With Pancho. For the river too. Poncho, Is Cisco here now? You got your wish, Poncho. Here comes Kirby and Arthur. And here comes Cisco. Looks like he's trailing a man. Well, how'd the calf inspection go, Arthur?

[D]

Very interesting.

[B]

Very interesting indeed. Yeah, we covered a lot of ground. Cisco covered a lot of ground, too.

[E]

Now, hombres, everything is out in the open.

[B]

What do you mean, Cisco? Both of you know what I mean. I trailed you. I found empty rifle shells near your boot tracks near the river. So what? I was shooting at jackrabbits just like you shot at this umbrero hombre. You're looking for trouble, Cisco. You come to the right place. Gentlemen, gentlemen, control yourself, please. I am controlling myself, Dobson, or I would be wiping the ground with you for trying to kill little Bobby. Why, a tin on Maverick over the holy bubbly Bethesda. Cisco shot the gun clean out of Kirby's head. You know, this always happened when the other hombre pulled the gun on Cisco.

[D]

What's going on out there? What's all the shooting about? Hey, who got shot? Anybody here?

[B]

No, no, Bobby. No. Nothing's happened that's of any concern to a young boy. To my way of thinking, it sure does concern Bobby.

[D]

The only concern I got is that you're not going to be shooting off guns in my front.

[B]

John, I could help this Senora. Madge. That Kirby hombre to a quiz. Please, senora, take Bobby and go back into the house.

[D]

Sir, I want to stay. I don't want to miss anything.

[E]

Do as I say, Senora.

[B]

Just a moment, Cisco. You've caused enough trouble here. I'm ordering you off this ranch. Well, now, Arthur, Cisco's only doing what he thinks is right. If there's some mistake.

[E]

There is no mistake.

[B]

Anyone with half an eye can see these two plotted to kill Bobby before.

[E]

He even set foot on the rancho.

[B]

Anyone with half the eye? You better Be able to prove that, Cisco?

[E]

I can prove it.

[B]

When you both spoke of the bed of the sombrero. I knew there was something wrong at the time, but I could not place my finger on it.

[D]

What was wrong, sister? It sounded all right to me.

[B]

If Lawson had fired at the sombrero, we would have heard the gunshot. That's right. We did not hear one. The first bullet holes in Lawson's sombrero were made by my guns when Pancho and I surprised him dry gulching the stagecoach. That gotta be Ms. Dobson, hombre.

[E]

Tell the big lie.

[B]

Madge. You and Bobby get in the house and I mean right now.

[D]

Come on, Bobby.

[E]

Not so fast, Bobby. Look out. Now let that Kobe can. You only grab Bobby, Cisco.

[D]

I bet him.

[E]

I'll let you go right into Cisco. Ellie, Matt, get out of my way. I'll get you to my Dito. For pushing you to Bobby and Cisco, you'll get a smack on the Jew fat one day.

[D]

Five to another diamond, Kirby to get it away.

[E]

I told you and Bobby to get in the house. Watch Dobson. I will go after that coyote, Kirby. Diablo.

[B]

Get up, Sisco. Get him.

[E]

Pass the Diablo. Faster, Gar. Pull up your horse, Lawson. You do not have a chance of getting away. Faster, Diablo. Now, Larson, and get down. So I don't have a chance. We'll see about as we will see only as soon as we get to our feet. If you get to your feet with your wound, get your fingers off my throat. I'll choke the life out of your Cisco. I can do it.

[B]

My mist.

[E]

I'm still now you'll see upon your paint. Your mauric rock'll smash your head. Drop it. Only drop it.

[B]

I will.

[E]

On your head. Not while I kill it.

[D]

My arm.

[E]

You'll break it. Drop it, I say. Now. And this. And this for choking me. Come on, Aubrey, get up on your feet. I'm not finished with you yet.

[B]

No more, Cisco. I've had enough. Up on your feet.

[E]

Kirby will not be enough until you and that Dobbs nobody are behind bars.

[D]

Harry, you tell Cisco and Poncho and Bobby, dinner's all ready. Hurry and get washed.

[B]

We're all washed, Myge. We're coming right in. This is part of the day to.

[D]

Pancho's dinner and breakfast and lunch. And anytime you can eat.

[B]

Senora Mach knows you too well, Pancho.

[D]

Well, this is my favorite part of the day too.

[B]

Bueno, Bobby. As you eat a lot, you grow big like. Like Cisco. You gonna stay out here on the ranch with us, Bobby?

[D]

Oh, you bet I am. I want to learn all there is to being a cowboy. The first thing to learn is not to keep the cook waiting. Sit down, all of you. I'm gonna like it out here. Hey, Pancho. You teach me how to shoot a gun?

[B]

Hey, little ninja. Pancho learned you how to make a fast throw with the holster. And how to twirl the gun. And how to be the sure shot.

[D]

Like.

[B]

Like. Well, Pancho.

[D]

Well, maybe better.

[B]

If Pancho learned you how to use the bullwhip. Pancho shows you how to snap the whip. And how to knock a fly off a rock.

[E]

And how to make the bandidos jump.

[B]

Would you hit the seat of their pantalones?

[D]

It's better for little Bobby to get.

[B]

Singer Harry and Senora Madge for the guardians. She, she.

[E]

They will be like a father and.

[B]

Mother to Bobby now that his uncle is in jail. Uncle Arthur and Kirby Lawson. Bad homage to try to kill little Bobby. But they are paying for their kindness. Kirby, you're funny names weird.

[E]

Well, it is probably a family name. He must have been named after someone in his family.

[D]

Oh, Pancho.

[B]

Understand. Just like Pancho named after Rodriguez.

[E]

You are named after Rodriguez, Pancho?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Pancho named after Rodriguez.

[E]

Well, now tell me, how could that be? How could your family name you Pancho after Rodriguez? The family named Pancho's brother Rodriguez.

[D]

And when Pancho was born, the family named Pancho after Rodriguez. Oh, Poncho.

[B]
