Transcript:
Cook: Pickup! Girl: Look, Grandpa! Every time a bell rings, an Angel gets his wings! Circa 1995: Jimmy Stewart arrives for lunch with his granddaughter, when life suddenly imitates art.
then,even though it was a bad thing for his grandchild to see,Jimmy shot the cook who,as luck would have it,went by the name of Liberty….Liberty Valance.
At first my mind saw Jimmy Stewart all bent over and I thought he’d croaked and that was the punch line… then I saw the ball players’ uniforms… your’s is funnier… but mine will give me lots to talk about in therapy in the new year…

karensnext: Sorry for being persnickety, but Stewart played attorney (later Senator) Ransom Stoddard “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”.
Lee Marvin played Valance.
