[the crowd cheers]
Tom Neal - Announcer at Rodeo : is offering a cash prize of five hundred dollars to anyone who is able to ride his steer, Kokomo, once around the arena.
Mary : Kokomo? That explains everything.
Sally : Gee, if we could ride him and get that five hundred dollars, we could go back to Kokomo in a private car.

[last lines]
Sally : See what we brought for you, Kokomo? Nice fresh flowers.
Mary : You ride him, Sally.
Sally : Oh-ho-ho, no; you're the one he's crazy about.
Mary : Well alright, I'll get on, but you turn him around and be headin' for the prize money.
Sally : Ok.
Tom Neal - Announcer at Rodeo : Just a couple of Kokomo campfire girls out to bring home the bacon.
[focusing on Mary as she nervously mounts Kokomo]
Tom Neal - Announcer at Rodeo : One for the money,
[focusing on Sally as she happily holds Kokomo's tail]
Tom Neal - Announcer at Rodeo : two for the show,
[the crowd eagerly awaits their riding attempt]
Tom Neal - Announcer at Rodeo : three to make ready,
[they begin their wildly haphazard and humorous attempt]
Tom Neal - Announcer at Rodeo : and there they go! With Kokomo taking the lead, it looks like a homerun. Ride 'em, cowboy; or I-I mean cowgirl. At the quarter mile it's one down and one to go, with the odds against Kokomo. Yahoo! Stick with him, sister!
[Tom and Johnny laugh with surprisement at Mary's oddly successful riding attempt]
Tom Neal - Announcer at Rodeo : And she did it! They did it, and how! The winner, and champion! Weissmuller pays off! Yippee!
[running over to Mary and Sally as they dust themselves off]
Tom Neal - Announcer at Rodeo : Congratulations, girls, here's the five hundred dollars.
Johnny Weissmuller : Now you go Kokomo.
Sally , Mary : You mean Hollywood!
[Kokomo bellows and rushes toward them as they run out of the way - 'The End']
