Gariton: [ sheepishly ] Well, heh heh, he was dancing, and we were playing around.
Bartender: That’s not what happened, you shot him in the foot.
Cowboy #2: Yeah, you were making him dance, and then you just shot him!
Doctor: Well why would you do a thing like that?
Gariton: I, I don’t know. I don’t know. I guess, I, I didn’t think I was —
Cowgirl: [ hands on hips, in his face ] That’s it — yeah, yeah, yeah, you just didn’t think, did you?
Gariton: Oh, no, I’m so sorry, I mean, I didn’t mean for it to happen! If I could go back in time and change everything, I would … [ Cowgirl blows him off, walks over to Patron John ] … oh please, I’m so sorry, believe me, it was an accident! Oh, I did — why would anyone do that on purpose? I’m so sorry, oh my god, I’m so sorry …

Gariton: [ holds his head in anguish ] Oh no … oh God …
Patron John’s Wife: How’s your foot today, dear?
Patron John: Uh, it feels a little better, I guess.
Patron John’s Wife: Do you feel like seeing a visitor?
Patron John: Who is it?
[ She opens the door, and Gariton enters with a gift box wrapped in red paper. ]Gariton: Hello! … Hello!
Patron John: You?!
Gariton: I, I just stopped by to see you, and see how you were …
Patron John: Get outta here!
[ His wife exits the room ]Gariton: I, I, I have this for you, I hope you like it. [ lifts the box open ] It, it is a new boot. [ holds it up ]
Patron John: Well this, this is ni —
Gariton: You like it?
Patron John: [ throws the boot ] No! Get outta here! I don’t want that! You SHOT me!
Gariton: Well, well, seor, I have been doing some thinking. You know, that um, normally when, when people do the jig, like you were doing, they dance like this — [ demonstrates ] — see, but, but you, when you were dancing, you were dancing kind of like this — [ demonstrates ] — kicking feet like that — you see, so I’m thinking that maybe, we both are at fault, seor.
Patron John: No! No! It’s all your fault! You made me dance and then you SHOT ME! In the FOOT! YA SHOT ME!
Gariton: All right.
Patron John: Yeah.
Gariton: [ Danny tries not to crack up ] Well, then listen, listen, seor, all right, then, well, I am sorry, okay?
Patron John: No! No, it’s not okay! Ya SHOT ME!
Gariton: Do you — do you not accept my apology, seor?
Patron John: No, I don’t accept your apology!
Gariton: But you must accept my apology —
Patron John: YA SHOT ME, YA SHOT ME! No!
Gariton: [ whips out his pistol ] You must accept the apology, [ says something in Spanish ] — I say, accept it! Accept it! [ starts firing shots into the ceiling ]
Patron John: [ throws his hands up in fear ] I accept! I accept! I accept! I accept!
Gariton: Bark like a dog!
Patron John: [ barks like a dog ]
Gariton: Now get out of bed! [ John does so, still barking ] And dance! Come on! Get up and dance! [ John hops on one foot ] Now act like a chicken! [ etc. etc. ] [ Fade to SNL band ]
