Aunt Lou is brushing down some boots in her room at the hotel when Richardson comes in wearing his Sunday best needing help with his tie. She puts it around her own neck to tie it, and hands over his boots so that he can complete his fancy voting ensemble. "You gon' vote for Mr. Bullock, now," she reminds him. Richardson: "Even though he beat Mr. Farnum 'cause he took you-know-who by his ear?" Aunt Lou says that there aren't many brave enough to have done it. "Anyways," Richardson says, changing the subject, "Harry Manning gives me splinters." Aunt Lou looks at him in confusion and asks how he does that. "Raising the windows after he's et," he says. Heeee! Can this show not go one episode without a fart joke? Damn. I love it. Lou agrees. "South had that man's gas to load in their cannons," she says, "wouldn't be no free n*ggers nowhere." Richardson tacks on his own punchline: "Noah hisself would have throwed him out the boat." They laugh it up like it's Showtime at the Apollo, and somewhere in Hollywood, Cedric the Entertainer is furiously copying down these lines. She proudly sends him off to vote, admiring him in his suit and saying he looks fine. Richardson tips his hat and says "thank yeewww." I'll miss him terribly.
