The Dolly Show No. 117
Opening of The Dolly Show #117 with special guest Bobby Goldsboro. To the strains of Dolly's record "Love Is Like A Butterfly" we fade up on plastic prop butterfly lit with pulsating pastel blue and violet lights. Camera pulls out to reveal butterfly as part of giant sparkly sign reading simply "Dolly." The sign rises into the rafters as lights come up on the set and Dolly Parton is lowered from the ceiling on a swing. To canned applause as voice-over announces her, Dolly steps off the red velvet swing in a two-piece outfit with sparkly trim and sings "The Door Is Always Open."

A door mysteriously descends from the rafters, but as hard as Dolly tries, she can't get it open, despite a hand reaching in holding signs saying things like "Try Harder." Turns out the hand is Bobby Goldsboro's, who punches a hole through the door and lets himself in. Bobby and Dolly sing a reprise of "The Door Is Always Open."

Dolly and Bobby Goldsboro trade banter and bad jokes about Bobby's Kung Fu abilities and how he's accident prone as a sandbag falls to the stage directly behind him. Bobby Goldsboro performs "Watching Scotty Grow."

On a location shoot at an expensive mansion, Dolly has a picnic by herself and sings "A Little At A Time" as servants drive her Rolls-Royce and cart around expensive possessions.

Dolly and Bobby Goldsboro chat for a bit before Bobby sings "Butterflies For Bucky" for her, because Dolly loves butterflies so much.

On a smoke-covered set strewn with automobile wreckage, Dolly Parton sings Porter Wagoner's gothic hit "The Carroll County Accident."

Amidst more pointless jokes about Goldsboro's alleged propensity for accidents, another sandbag falls to the stage before him. Goldsboro threatens the bag with Kung Fu and it escapes back to the rafters. Then as more bags fall from the air, Bobby and Dolly duet on "Proud Mary."

Dolly and Bobby sing another duet, this time sharing the mic on the Everly Brothers' hit "Let It Be Me" accompanied only by Bobby's guitar. Nicely low-key clip for a change.

Bobby's door returns, and this it time it opens only by Dolly's own karate threat. As Bobby departs, Dolly wraps the program by singing the standard closer "I Will Always Love You" as end credits roll.
