[Chad Remington]

Frontier Town the Saga the Roaring West.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Frontier Town.

[Chad Remington]

El Paso, Cheyenne, Powder River, Tombstone.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Frontier Town.

[Chad Remington]

Here is the adventurous story of the early west, the tamed and the untamed.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

From the Pecos to Powder River, Dodge.

[Chad Remington]

City to Poker Flat, these are the towns they fought to live in. And live to fight for. Teeming crucibles of pioneer freedom.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Frontier town.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Sam.

[Chad Remington]

You folks ever hear of a town called Dos Rios? Like as not, you haven't. Being that I'm a town's lawyer, I'd like to tell you about those Rios. A sprawling, lusty and raw boned frontier town. All kinds of folks here. Although some of them aren't all bad. There are some of them who aren't all good. Take my last case. Cherokee o', Bannon, ex medicine man and now owner of the town livery stable, was with me, just jogging along the west bank of El Toro Creek, flapping his jaws like he most always, always does.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Listen to me, my Junior Blackstone. In court, you're dull and unromantic. But outside of a courtroom with your back hump for trouble and your fist flying, then, my boy, there isn't a woman of the opposite sex who doesn't sigh her heart out to be crushed in those two, mainly ours.

[Chad Remington]

Doggone you, Cherokee. Don't let me hear you saying anything that even sounds like that where Libby Fillmore can hear you.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Of course not, Ted. I'm as close mouthed as a sphag Famous statue, you know.

[Chad Remington]

Good enough.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

But if Libby has agreed to become Mrs. Remington, will you kindly explain just why you're riding along with your roving eye riveted on that bit of feminine fluff and poltergen driving that one or Shay on the other side of the creek?

[Chad Remington]

Well, say you noticed her too, huh? And at your age. You know, you're really a good advertisement for your Cherokee Indian rattlesnake oil.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Certainly guaranteed to build red blood.

[Chad Remington]

Well, the young lady yonder has nothing to do with.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Platitude.

[Chad Remington]

Chad.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Someone shooting at that girl?

[Chad Remington]

No. Shots have spooked the girl's horse. He's running away.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

My goodness. That damsel's not merely in distress.

[Chad Remington]

Chad.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

He's in trouble. Come on, Cherokee.

[Chad Remington]

I'll take care of the damsel. You light it out after that sneak and dry goats. And now go on, pound up that dust. I'm taking out after that runaway rig.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Oh. Oh, now, slow down. Please slow down. Hey.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Hey, watch out. You're heading that buggy straight for the creek.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

What? Oh, slow there. What did you say?

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Oh, don't try and jump. I'll get alongside and back a bridle.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Hurry. He'll drown me.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Yeah, slow. Easy there.

[Chad Remington]

Stand by.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Stand by. Here we are.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

My goodness, this is awful. Oh, I don't know what I should have done if you hadn't come along.

[Chad Remington]

Been going swimming, I guess. You any idea, miss, who fired those shots at you?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

None. None at all.

[Chad Remington]

Have anything with you that a road agent might want? I mean, money, valuables, anything like that?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

No. You sound as if he might be a martial art sheriff or something, with all those questions.

[Chad Remington]

Pretty close. I'm a lawyer. Dos Rios. Only lawyer.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Lawyer. You must be the man I was driving over to see. You're Chad Remington.

[Chad Remington]

Guess there's nothing to say but guilty as charged, you, Honor. Chad Remington, access services.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Mr. Remington, I'm Marie Hockson. Ms. Marie Hockson. When can I see you?

[Chad Remington]

Seems to me you're seeing me right now. Although I don't usually conduct my law business standing in a creek next to a rig with three bullet holes through the dashboard.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Never having talked to a lawyer before, I really wouldn't know. But if you wouldn't mind lifting me out of you, carrying me back to the bank.

[Chad Remington]

Oh, really, Ms. Hoxina, ease up a little, will you?

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Your arms are choking me.

[Chad Remington]

Go on my neck.

[Andrew Rines (Podcast Host)]

Oh.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Oh, I'm.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

I'm so sorry.

[Chad Remington]

Thanks. Look, I tell you what. I sent Cherokee up in those rocks to see.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Cherokee?

[Chad Remington]

Yeah, Cherokee o'. Bannon. He owns a livery stable in town. If you don't mind, you can take his horse and he can patch his carriage together and bring it back to his stable.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Certainly. Anything he said.

[Chad Remington]

Good. Since you're soaked from the splashing you've had. When we get back to Dos Rios, you better get a hotel room and change your clothes.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

You're the most thoughtful man.

[Chad Remington]

Thanks, Ms. Hudson.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Are lawyers all so formal? My friends call me Marie.

[Chad Remington]

Well, what would you have done? I lifted Marie out of that battered rig and carried her back up to the road. Whatever scent she was wearing smelled like. Well, I guess it had a French name and cost $25 an ounce. Effective. Very effective. With Marie. Wet and the air cold. I didn't do much talking. On the way to Dos Rios, she took a room in the hotel and said she'd meet me at my office within an hour. That hour gave me a chance to.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Do a little great Jupiter's ghost and sun receptacles. Chad, if you refuse, help. Marie Hoxie, you're just cutting off your nose. Despite her face. Her pretty little face.

[Chad Remington]

I don't know, Cherokee, something about this sounds a little fishy. Did you notice the dash of that buggy? The holes the slugs made?

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Oh, I can't say that I did, my bucolic barrister.

[Chad Remington]

Why, those splinters are all outside.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Outside? My boy, why waste time looking at the outside of a splinter when you can be regaling your optics on the outside of Miss Hoxie? What grease, what time, what curves.

[Chad Remington]

What?

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

What curves?

[Chad Remington]

And besides, those holes look mighty small.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Those aren't holes, Chad. Those things are called pores.

[Chad Remington]

Look, you old reprobate, I'm talking about the dashboard of that bug room. You're talking about something entirely different.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Indeed I am. Indeed I am.

[Chad Remington]

And something else. It's almost two hours since she said she'd be here in one hour. Well, no, sir, Cherokee. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna walk down to that hotel and tell Marie Huxie I'm not interested in her or her case. Believe me, Ms. Marie, I'm not at all put out about your being a little late. I just came down to the hotel to see if. Well, if there was anything I could.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Do to help you lot. You can do here. He's so tall. He's so strong looking. Here, sit down.

[Chad Remington]

No.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Oh, no. Over here. Because what I have to tell you is in complete confidence. And I don't want anybody outside to hear me.

[Chad Remington]

Outside?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

You saw that man shooting at the day with the shots? Did give shots, Chad, believe me, I won't be safe until I get back the map to the Lost Continent Mine mapped to the.

[Chad Remington]

Look, Marie, if I'm going to be of any help to you at all, you better start from the beginning.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

You will forgive me, but I just seem to be all at loose ends. Well, my father, Dan Hox, he's a mining engineer.

[Chad Remington]

I see.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

After three years of looking, finally relocated. The Lost Cartnik mine went back to Leadville, where I was waiting for him.

[Chad Remington]

How did he lose the map?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

He was stolen. And we know who stole it.

[Chad Remington]

You know who stole the map? Why did you come here to Dos Rios to see me?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

We had the man arrested and he's in jail now, but we never did find him there.

[Chad Remington]

And you want me to go back to Leadville and play detective?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Oh, no, Chad, of course not. But the man who stole it has a brother living here in Descher. There sure. Sure can be. We sent that map down here to him.

[Chad Remington]

Who's this brother?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

What we heard he's a professional gambler.

[Chad Remington]

Name of Folsom Pharaoh Jack.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Why do you look surprised? Don't you believe me?

[Chad Remington]

Maria, I hate to disappoint you, but as much as I sympathize with your problem, yours is scarcely a case for a cow. Tom. Moira. I'm sorry.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Damned. Don't go in. Bill, don't you see? Don't you understand? You know I intend to make things a little difficult. Chad, please. Please don't walk out on me now. You've got to help me. You can have everything you need for me.

[Chad Remington]

You bet. Sit down.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

I suppose I had.

[Chad Remington]

Do you have any ideas how I can get that paper for you?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

It's worth $5,000 to us if you did.

[Chad Remington]

Marie, I've got to admit, I can't do any thinking at all that close to your perfume. So you take off that neglig. Whatever you call it, and put on a dress. And by the time you're through, I'll be back here with my answer. No. No. I'll be seeing you, Marie. Later. As I asked before, what would you have done? I headed for the street where Cherokee was waiting anxiously to get that perfume out of my head. Or blood, some fresh air into my lungs. We were walking along, just leaving the hotel, and Cherokee was voicing his disgust with me loud and volubly.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

I'm starting to believe that you're a fair prospect for the booby hat, should you consider turning her down. $5,000 in that. That radiant rat. Chad, that trap just missed me.

[Chad Remington]

Didn't miss me.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

I don't notice any punctures in your epidermis.

[Chad Remington]

No, I mean that one little shot just made me decide to try and locate the map of the lost continent.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Mine.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Well, I never believed in looking to get forced in the teeth. Would you mind explaining to me why you've undergone this change of mind? Or could it be change of heart?

[Chad Remington]

That little lead slug convinced me that there's more to this than is expected. Exposed to the eye. And now if you look who just came out of the hotel, you'll have the rest of your answer out of the.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

That's. That's Pharaoh Jack the gambler. Say is neither one.

[Chad Remington]

You said he's the one, all right. And believe me, Mr. O', Banner, we're finding that map if we have to tear those three of us apart plank by flank and doby brick by dobie brick. We'll return to the exciting second act of our frontier town adventure in just about one minute. And now, frontier town. Well, with that shot from the general direction of the hotel going past my ear, a little too close for comfort. And then seeing Pharaoh Jack Folsom leaving the hotel, I decided the better part of valor would be to get off the street before the sheriff and a crowd collected. So I went back to the hotel, leaving Cherokee to wait for me down the corridor a few feet. Once again, I knocked on the lovely Maria door.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Oh, you.

[Chad Remington]

Why? Were you expecting someone else? I thought you were a stranger in Dos Rios. Marie. I am.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Expression. I didn't expect you to have to see him.

[Chad Remington]

May I come in?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Thank you.

[Chad Remington]

Young lady. I've decided to take your case.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Oh, that's wonderful, Chad. Wonderful.

[Chad Remington]

$5,000 is a lot of money. So I also decided I'd take part of that. Now, take it at your own word. You said anything and everything. I'm asking for some money down.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

You didn't expect me to have the $5,000 with me.

[Chad Remington]

I'll take what I can get.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Well, the way it is, that's the way it has to be, I suppose.

[Chad Remington]

And you suppose correctly.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Money is how you're interested.

[Chad Remington]

The way this case may turn out, I need to put a little aside to assure myself a proper funeral. Now, you better go open that purse of yours and wait for. I've changed my mind again. Although Ms. Hoxie's pocketbook was fat and bulging, she only managed to produce $100 while the bag was open. I did manage to peek inside, and what I saw in there satisfied me that this is my kind of case. As soon as I left Marie's room, I beckoned to Cherokee. And we took advantage of being in the hotel by easing ourselves into Folsom's room. I don't mind saying that I was more than a bit surprised when tucked inside one of his, I found the map to the lost Continent. Mine. Careless of him. What?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

You?

[Chad Remington]

But I guess gamblers always do take chances. Then, instead of turning the map over to my client and demanding the rest of the fee, I grabbed Cherokee and hurried back to my office.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Mr. Remington, I am by nature a very patient man. With that gorgeous creature waiting to hand you the best part of $5,000. Why, in the name of Gilhooly Goat, don't You give her the map and collect the long green folding wherewithal?

[Chad Remington]

I don't know yet exactly. All I know for sure is that in the bottom of her little pocketbook I spotted a.25 caliber handgun.25 caliber?25 caliber. A little gun. A gun which shoots small slugs and make little holes. Holes that I think will match those in the dashboard of the buggy she was driving.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

You mean to stand there with your mouth hanging out trying to say that you shot it herself?

[Chad Remington]

I'm just meaning to say that for the time being, I'm gonna make what seems to be an exact copy of this map and put it back where we found the original one. Before sneaking back upstairs to Folsom's room. I left Cherokee downstairs in the dinky little lobby under strict orders to stall Folsom should he return, by every legal means. Then, just as I had the altered copy of the map safely stowed away in Folsom's shirt, I heard a commotion starting down in the lobby. I closed Folsom's door and raced down the steps two at a time.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Don't you forget it. Oh, Bannon, I've given you three to.

[Chad Remington]

Get your hands off of me. Do you understand?

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Pop. Pharaoh, I'm positively guaranteeing the two bottles of my Gentlemen Cherokee Indian round snake oil will not only change, but we'll absolutely, positively. All right, I warn you. Now, just a minute, Folsom. Why don't you pick on someone your.

[Chad Remington]

Own size and age? Better keep out of this Remington. I should. Why? Because if you don't, I'm gonna knock your teeth back down your throat. What was that again about wanting to perform a little dental work on me? You heard me. Told you to keep out of this. Well, I'm in it. I'm staying in. Unless you think you can knock me out of it. Are you loud mouth there? Are you? You rattled my teeth, that's all. What you meant was something more like this.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Sad. My boy, I'm as proud of you as a new head of hair. He won't wake up for a week.

[Chad Remington]

Oh, won't I? So to see about.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

You, Pharaoh. You're a cluck.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

You think so?

[Chad Remington]

Come on, Cherokee, let me straighten up this lobby and then we'll Tyler the card.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

He's got his gun. Are you Double D?

[Chad Remington]

Just for that, Folsom, I'm taking your gun with me. You ever want it again, you know where to find me. Up at my office. If you're only listening in the Cherokee, I'll explain. As much as I Can you mean.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

If you're able to actually precipitating a fight? Fight? In a public hotel?

[Chad Remington]

You use the right word when you said precipitate. Because now I'm sure that Marie Hoxie knows I'm working on her case. Didn't you see her watching from up at the head of the stairs?

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

You mean he did that to impress her?

[Chad Remington]

No. Oh, I did it in the hope that now she'll have to make her next move. Which she just did just then. She just did. Who hadn't been so busy talking. You might have seen her go over into the Western Union office. And unless I miss my guest Cherokee, we'll be having visitors. Some mighty interesting visitors before very long.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Ted, whether you like it or not, I've got to have a libation. Practically locked up in this office with you for six hours. Just waiting has taxed my nerves beyond.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

The bounds of even quietly going up the stairs. Come by the elevator. Both of his.

[Chad Remington]

Come in.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

I do hope you don't mind my coming here this time of night.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

My dear young lady, you not alone deprecate our perspicacity. But you do yourself a great injustice.

[Chad Remington]

There.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Let me get you a chair.

[Chad Remington]

You were. You were right about Folsom having that matter.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Is that so?

[Chad Remington]

I thought you'd be more surprised.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

You've got the map, I wonder.

[Chad Remington]

I just told you that Folsom had it.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

I'm telling you I don't believe it.

[Chad Remington]

You're smarter than I thought you were. Marie. You happen to notice the map you found in this room isn't complete.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

I. I don't know what you're talking about.

[Chad Remington]

I know what you were talking about when you said anything and everything.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Perhaps you've done too much thinking, Mr. Remington.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Say now, P. Don't leave so soon. Why, this barren little barrister's office hadn't smelled so good since it's open. Every stable, you know.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Oh, I'm not leaving. But fortunately, my father arrived in town. And perhaps he'd better talk to you. Father. Come on in.

[Chad Remington]

Hoping we wouldn't have any trouble. But now you gentlemen had better sit down. Just arrived in town, Mr. Hoxie? Never mind. You got that Lost Continent map, and we want it. I rather expected you after I saw your beautiful daughter slip into the Western Union office. If you happen to think it's strange that a lawyer should have his office over a livery stable. That's the reason. Wonderful view of the entire school. If you're a smart lawyer, Remington, you'll.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Dig up the map quick.

[Chad Remington]

So many people Seem to want this map. Should be worth a great deal more than $5,000. Oh, so that's your play, huh? Think you're going to hold us up and gouge a bankroll out of it? Since I didn't take the other things Marie offered me, it seems I'm entitled to a higher fee after all. This was riskier than I thought. Someone shot at me. The future Marie.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

And you mean to sit there and.

[Chad Remington]

Say you think that flannel mouth Remington. I'm not planning on being here in town very long. Maybe two more minutes. You've got one to hand over that map. Oh, it's too bad you're leaving so soon. But I can't say I blame you. If your partner, Pharaoh Jack Folsom happens to see you in Dos Rios, there's apt to be a little shooting affair. Maybe you are smart. Folsom was my partner. But that map belongs to me. To me. Not to us. You and your enchanting daughter. You're pretty smart yourself, Hoxie, if that is your name. Hiring Marie to pose as your daughter and come down here to get that map. Because Folsom had never seen her. He's not his daughter.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Why, of old cheap chicanery.

[Chad Remington]

All right, now, look. Now that you know that I know where you stand. And since this is just a business deal, why don't you let your money do the talking for you? Any talk. From now on, this.45's gonna do well. Too bad Marie didn't have a.45. That little handgun you let her carry gave me my first tip. Right from the time I saw those holes. She shot through the dashboard just to make me think she was in trouble. Then when she threw that shot at me from the Hotel Lincoln, I mean it. And then I'll kill you to get back that map. You see, Marie, he'll kill me just to double cross Jack Folsom. Then I wouldn't be surprised if he killed you. Are you turning over that map?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Yes.

[Chad Remington]

I don't have to. Won't I?

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Pharaoh, drop that gun.

[Chad Remington]

What is it?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

And drop it.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

You folks, kind folks don't mind. This office is getting so crowded, I think I'll leave.

[Chad Remington]

You take one more step. Sheriff Junior will leave later. I. Shut up.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

That's what I said. I'm staying.

[Chad Remington]

You know, Pharaoh, I just had a hunch. If this double deal and falsehood partners would ever arrive in Dos Rios, you'd pick up his scent faster than a bird dog. Never mind him. Want my map back. Oh, this is getting more confusing than Ever. It's a matter of pure and simple justice. I don't know who to give the map to now.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Well, maybe this will make your mind up for you. Here, I got the money I promised.

[Chad Remington]

You in my bag. Nobody's buying that map, you understand me?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Why not? Chad can use this money just as well as. All right, Folsom, drop that gun. Sorry.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

The little fell. He turned into a ferocious firebrand.

[Chad Remington]

Doggone it, Marie, don't you know that little pop gun is going to get you into trouble sooner or later?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Awesome. Drop that gun.

[Chad Remington]

Why, sure. I guess I know when I.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

You dirty dumb buzzer. Let go of my wrist. Chad.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Foxy's gone to him. You're dead. That's enough, Folsom.

[Chad Remington]

I've given you a better chance than you gave her. I didn't have to, Ms. Cherokee, get his gun and cover them both.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

My pleasure, Chad. Here, give me that.

[Chad Remington]

Marie, don't you know you should always take your attorney's advice?

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Okay.

[Chad Remington]

Told you that gun was gonna get.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

You into trouble, Jet. It hurts. I'm gonna take you to the doctor's.

[Chad Remington]

Down here. Let me get you.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Remember what I told you. What was that, Mr. Blank? God. Looks, I knew I'd end up with you holding me in your arms.

[Chad Remington]

What's wrong with you today, Cherokee? The air is wonderful, the birds are singing, the fish are all jumping in El Toro Creek, and you just haven't opened your mouth for a half hour.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

My cold blooded counselor. You grieve me and fill me with bitter disappointment.

[Chad Remington]

How's that again?

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Here we are, perched on the backs of these high priced equines, riding along El Toro Creek Road in the very same place where just a week ago your roving eye spotted Marie Hoxie. You sat there finally in the saddle, making casual comments about the climate and the flora of the fauna. Have you no heart? No red blood in your veins? Never mind. I'll tell you what you probably need is a double dose of Dr. O' Bannon's famous Cherokee Indian rattlesnake oil.

[Chad Remington]

At least you don't need it. The memory of Ms. Hoxie's perfume seems to act on you like a tonic.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

That reminds me, Chad. You ever find out if Pharaoh Jack Folsom ever did have a brother in prison over in Leadville?

[Chad Remington]

Well, Judge Fillmore found out for me he hadn't even got a brother. Dan Peacock, alias Dan Hoxie, gave that lost continent map to Pharaoh Jack after he'd won it in a stud game in lieu of cash.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

You mean he didn't realize how valuable it was.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

The fool.

[Chad Remington]

He didn't even know it was a lost continent mine until later. Then when he found out, he tried to get it back from Farrow and couldn't. Then's when he decided to double cross him and hire Marie to pose as his daughter.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

What do you think's gonna happen to.

[Chad Remington]

The curvaceous charmer Marie? Well, from what the judge tells me, whenever they release her from the hospital, she's due for about five years at the state's expense.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Five years? Ah, by that time she will have reached the full bloom of beautiful maturity.

[Chad Remington]

No doubt. And if you lay off the libations of that rattlesnake oil, you may still be around the greeters, you old fake.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Well, my boy, even in me. Hope Springs Etern.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Ram.

Sam. Every now and then I rinse it out and I need downy rinse tonight and I need it more. My kid wet the bed and the smell never leaves. I don't know what to do. I'm always in the dark. The sweat and dick sure smells like a dark.

[Grainger Maintenance Supervisor]

Downy rinse. Fight stubborn odors in just one wash when impossible odors get stuck in.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

That's the sound of James adding long lasting gain scent boosters to his laundry this morning. Several hours later, James sniffs the irresistible scent of gain on his shirt. Ah gain. Several hours later, James has even caught the attention of his mother in law and she never gives him attention.

[Narrator/Marie Hoxie]

Oh, you smell amazing, James.

[Cherokee O'Bannon]

Oh, thanks mom. I love you too. I never said that. Add gain scent boosters to your laundry. Add joy to your day.
