- [Mister Ed is totting through the arid desert of Death Valley]
- Mister Ed: [painting] Whew! This is the hottest prairie I've ever seen. Wish I could get into the shade. But the only shade is under me!
- [Mister Ed looks up and sees shrieking vultures circling him]
- Mister Ed: Oh, shut up! They'll be no free lunches on Ed! I'd better keep moving, show them I'm still alive.
- [Mister Ed continues walking through the desert and after a minute he looks up and sees the vultures gone from sight]
- Mister Ed: There, that got rid of them. Or, did they go home to bring back ketchup?
- [Mister Ed looks up and sees a park ranger helicopter hovering above him]
- Mister Ed: Gee, look at the size of that vulture. He's got two men in him and he's still hungry!
