1. Feeling a little tired
Copy !req
2. of America's number-one sport,
football?
Copy !req
3. God, they're pathetic!
Copy !req
4. There's got to be a better way.
Copy !req
5. And there already is.
Copy !req
6. Arena football!
Copy !req
7. Unforgiving sideline barriers!
Copy !req
8. Water cannons!
Copy !req
9. And you better
watch out for...
Copy !req
10. the Black Knight!
Copy !req
11. It's arena football.
Copy !req
12. And the indoor thrills
are coming your way
Copy !req
13. as the league welcomes
its newest expansion team —
Copy !req
14. the Langley Falls
Bazooka Sharks!
Copy !req
15. Finally! Yeah!
Copy !req
16. Yeah! Ah! Yeah!
Copy !req
17. Yeah!
Copy !req
18. Yeah! Yeah!
Copy !req
19. Yeah!
Copy !req
20. Yeah!
Copy !req
21. Aah!
Copy !req
22. Old Man Hansen, do you sell
Bazooka Sharks merchandise?
Copy !req
23. I'm looking for one of those
Snuggies with a built-in diaper
Copy !req
24. and a place I can put
my driver's license.
Copy !req
25. That blasted
arena football team!
Copy !req
26. We've been here
three generations,
Copy !req
27. and now they're tearing us down
to put in the new stadium.
Copy !req
28. You poor old man.
Copy !req
29. This lamp sucks.
I'll give you 2 bucks for it.
Copy !req
30. Mom!
That is disgusting.
Copy !req
31. Taking advantage of — Wait.
Half off this bird cage?
Copy !req
32. Please,
I could really use this.
Copy !req
33. I foster abused birds.
Copy !req
34. I'd like to
put a candle in it.
Copy !req
35. I still have one shot
to save the store.
Copy !req
36. There's a town council meeting
about the stadium tonight.
Copy !req
37. Tonight, eh?
Oh, I'll be there.
Copy !req
38. Please don't come if you're
gonna support the stadium.
Copy !req
39. It's too late.
Copy !req
40. What's to become of you with
the store closing, Petruchio?
Copy !req
41. It could-a be time to find
the guy who killed my brother.
Copy !req
42. Mm, now,
what is this lining?
Copy !req
43. Is a fine Bemberg lining,
Mr. Steve.
Copy !req
44. Bemberg, not silk.
Copy !req
45. Well, you've been right about
this kind of thing before.
Copy !req
46. Snot went nuts for me
in paisley.
Copy !req
47. Inseam always-a 20 inches.
Copy !req
48. I-Is that unusual?
Copy !req
49. You see, all the other boys —
bum, bum, bum,
Copy !req
50. they are growing.
Copy !req
51. You — bum, bum, bum.
You hear the difference?
Copy !req
52. They go on
to men's-a department.
Copy !req
53. But you stay
with Petruchio.
Copy !req
54. Y-You're telling me
I'm not growing at all?
Copy !req
55. Not in two years.
Copy !req
56. And it says it's been-a
three days since-a you poop.
Copy !req
57. Let me see that book.
Copy !req
58. A-never.
Copy !req
59. I am not growing!
Look!
Copy !req
60. Nothing's happening!
Copy !req
61. Yeah, when we flew to Hawaii
last summer,
Copy !req
62. you sat on Dad's lap
for free.
Copy !req
63. I haven't grown in years.
Copy !req
64. And it's actually
quite liberating.
Copy !req
65. Gives me time to focus
on all my other shit.
Copy !req
66. B-B-But what if I
never grow again?
Copy !req
67. Look, if you really
want to do something,
Copy !req
68. I know a doctor who specializes
in growth treatments.
Copy !req
69. A specialist —
that's where the money is.
Copy !req
70. I should probably talk
to my dad about this.
Copy !req
71. Steve,
you want to talk?
Copy !req
72. Oh, yeah.
I wanted to ask you —
There's no time.
Copy !req
73. Your mother and I
have to hurry
Copy !req
74. down to the town
council meeting.
Copy !req
75. I hope
they let me speak.
Copy !req
76. I didn't put my name on a list
or anything.
Copy !req
77. Of course they'll let you,
honey. You're tall.
Copy !req
78. You're right.
I'm to be taken seriously.
Copy !req
79. Oh, Steve,
that really ties into
Copy !req
80. what you were talking about
earlier.
Copy !req
81. The sign outside
needs to be updated.
Copy !req
82. And I say
we just break the glass
Copy !req
83. instead of continuing
this preposterous 30-year search
Copy !req
84. for the key.
Copy !req
85. And I say the key
is still out there.
Copy !req
86. Agreed.
Copy !req
87. We'll now hear the last
of the community objections
Copy !req
88. to the arena football stadium.
Copy !req
89. First up is Old Man Hansen.
Copy !req
90. Good people of Langley Falls,
Copy !req
91. I ask you to join me
Copy !req
92. in standing up to the no-good
crooks on our city council.
Copy !req
93. These bums are lining their
pockets with their dirty deals,
Copy !req
94. and they need to be hogtied
and thrown down a well!
Copy !req
95. Sorry.
I'm a little nervous.
Copy !req
96. You're doing great.
Copy !req
97. It's important
for Langley Falls
Copy !req
98. to protect
our historic places.
Copy !req
99. Also, while I'm up here,
my name isn't Old Man Hansen.
Copy !req
100. It's Olmen — Olmen Hansen.
Copy !req
101. It's Swedish. I'm 43.
Copy !req
102. I think we've all heard just
about enough from Old Man H.
Copy !req
103. He doesn't know
what he's talking about.
Copy !req
104. If you don't count
our two hockey teams
Copy !req
105. and our championship
basketball squad —
Copy !req
106. Go, Lizards — we have no
indoor sports in this town.
Copy !req
107. We need indoor sports
for the times when it's raining!
Copy !req
108. Look at this beautiful vision
of the future.
Copy !req
109. It's time for us to join the
ranks of the other great cities
Copy !req
110. in the Arena League
Mid-Atlantic Conference.
Copy !req
111. I'm talking Wilkes-Barre,
Harrisburg, Wilmington.
Copy !req
112. Wilmington!
Copy !req
113. Great cities
have to move forward.
Copy !req
114. And you know what else
has to move forward?
Copy !req
115. Uh, parades?
Copy !req
116. Sharks.
Bazooka sharks.
Copy !req
117. Wow.
Parades isn't wrong.
Copy !req
118. We can't go back to the past.
Copy !req
119. We can't go back to
a time before arena football.
Copy !req
120. No go back!
Copy !req
121. Wait, what is this?
Copy !req
122. COUNCILMAN #2: Oh, just some
tree that's gonna be cut down
Copy !req
123. to make way
for the arena.
Copy !req
124. I'd like to go back on
my previous statement.
Copy !req
125. But no go back.
Copy !req
126. This stadium cannot happen.
Copy !req
127. Mr. Smith,
Copy !req
128. you've made a passionate case
in favor of progress,
Copy !req
129. and now, before us and God
and the Langley charter,
Copy !req
130. you mysteriously
reverse your position?
Copy !req
131. You are, simply put, the most
electric speaker I've ever seen.
Copy !req
132. I-I just think
we're, uh, rushing into things.
Copy !req
133. That's what I'm saying.
Copy !req
134. Can someone put Grandpa to bed?
I'm trying to talk here.
Copy !req
135. We went to high school
together!
Copy !req
136. Let's get real, you guys.
Do we even want this stadium?
Copy !req
137. Arena football
is kind of lame.
Copy !req
138. Mr. Smith,
Copy !req
139. what is really going on here?
Copy !req
140. It obviously has something to do
with that tree.
Copy !req
141. Now, come on.
You can talk to us.
Copy !req
142. We're your town council.
We love you.
Copy !req
143. All right.
Copy !req
144. If you must know, that tree...
Copy !req
145. that tree is my father.
Copy !req
146. What does that
even mean?
Copy !req
147. It means he's half tree.
Copy !req
148. Question is,
what's the other half?
Copy !req
149. Order, order.
Copy !req
150. Stenographer, can you read
those last parts back?
Copy !req
151. And then Mr. Smith said,
"That tree is my father,"
Copy !req
152. at which point, the stenographer
blacked out from excitement
Copy !req
153. and the record stops.
Copy !req
154. I apologize to the council.
Copy !req
155. I ate some almonds.
I'm good now.
Copy !req
156. Mr. Smith, I think we're ready
to hear what you mean
Copy !req
157. when you say
this tree is your father.
Copy !req
158. Okay.
I'll tell you.
Copy !req
159. I was just a little —
Copy !req
160. I was just —
Copy !req
161. Is everyone comfortable?
Copy !req
162. I was just a little kid.
Copy !req
163. The father-son picnic.
Copy !req
164. And, as usual, my dad, Jack, was
the only one who didn't show up.
Copy !req
165. I felt so alone.
Copy !req
166. But then — then I wasn't.
Copy !req
167. After that, I came back
every day after school.
Copy !req
168. I know this sounds crazy,
but the tree raised me.
Copy !req
169. He taught me how to play catch.
Copy !req
170. He watched me grow.
Copy !req
171. He helped me start
my first business,
Copy !req
172. even gave me my product.
Copy !req
173. Turns out magnolia juice is
as poisonous as it is delicious.
Copy !req
174. And no matter what,
he kept me safe.
Copy !req
175. His mighty roots connected me
to something constant,
Copy !req
176. something I could depend on,
Copy !req
177. when so often life is cruel
and unreliable.
Copy !req
178. He has been and always will be
there for me.
Copy !req
179. Please don't kill
my tree daddy.
Copy !req
180. My God, Stan.
Copy !req
181. How come I've never heard of
this tree father before?
Copy !req
182. I've brought you there
tons of time.
Copy !req
183. I made us have our wedding
there.
Copy !req
184. Oh. I just thought
you were a cheap asshole.
Copy !req
185. In light of new facts
and emotions,
Copy !req
186. I move to cancel
the stadium construction.
Copy !req
187. All in favor?
Copy !req
188. Aye.
Copy !req
189. All opposed?
Copy !req
190. It's Dom Fikowski,
the asphalt king.
Copy !req
191. He runs asphalt
in this town.
Copy !req
192. Don't you think
I know that?
Copy !req
193. Y'all know me.
Y'all know what I do.
Copy !req
194. I sling the hot stuff, the flat
makings, the stone carpet.
Copy !req
195. I'm sure you folks are hearing a
lot of objections to the arena.
Copy !req
196. Taxes, traffic, crime —
so much crime.
Copy !req
197. Crime is a problem.
Copy !req
198. Think of the advantages
Copy !req
199. from an asphalt-pouring
standpoint.
Copy !req
200. With the new parking lots alone,
Copy !req
201. we're looking at two square
miles of sizzling-hot tarmac.
Copy !req
202. When the sun starts beating
on it,
Copy !req
203. the average temperature around
town is gonna go up 10 degrees.
Copy !req
204. With all the balmy,
roasting breezes,
Copy !req
205. it's gonna feel like
we're on permanent vacation.
Copy !req
206. Ooh.
Copy !req
207. And if you're still
on the fence,
Copy !req
208. allow me to get you off...
the fence
Copy !req
209. with some free asphalt.
Copy !req
210. Aw!
Copy !req
211. It burns.
Copy !req
212. The stadium is back on.
Copy !req
213. Roger,
you can't build the stadium.
Copy !req
214. You're standing here
in a parking lot I poured,
Copy !req
215. asking me
not to pour asphalt?
Copy !req
216. Pouring asphalt is what I do,
Stan.
Copy !req
217. If you do this, it would mean
the death of my dad tree.
Copy !req
218. Ugh.
I really wanted this pour.
Copy !req
219. But out of respect
for our friendship,
Copy !req
220. I'll withdraw my bid, kill the
project, and save your tree.
Copy !req
221. We did it, Tree Dad.
They're not gonna cut you down.
Copy !req
222. And it's all thanks
to Roger.
Copy !req
223. That paper boy
always finds me.
Copy !req
224. It's 'cause
I'm in love with you.
Copy !req
225. "Stadium off...
Copy !req
226. to the races."
Copy !req
227. What?
Copy !req
228. "Carconi Brothers
pick up construction bid
Copy !req
229. after Fikowski drops out."
Copy !req
230. Carconi Brothers.
Copy !req
231. I knew it would be you.
Copy !req
232. You have to cancel this project.
You promised.
Copy !req
233. But I don't control anything
around here.
Copy !req
234. I'm just
dumb old Frankie.
Copy !req
235. My twin brother, Freddie's,
the boss, and what he says goes.
Copy !req
236. I screw up a lot.
Stupid Frankie.
Copy !req
237. So, your twin brother
is who I have to talk to?
Copy !req
238. So tedious.
Copy !req
239. Damn it, Frankie!
Copy !req
240. You just let some nut come in
and open my plywood door?
Copy !req
241. He was so fast, Freddie.
Copy !req
242. You have a human brother?
Copy !req
243. Oh, yeah.
And Mama just loves Freddie.
Copy !req
244. She lets him have sex
with girls
Copy !req
245. but puts my ear to the stove
for playing with the chickens.
Copy !req
246. How's that figure,
you stupid mama?
Copy !req
247. I'm sorry, Mama.
Copy !req
248. I-I-I can't get into this
right now.
Copy !req
249. You can't tear down
my tree father.
Copy !req
250. I can't stop it.
Copy !req
251. I'm drowning
in bulldozer invoices.
Copy !req
252. I'm supposed to
keep the yellow copy,
Copy !req
253. but the purple one's prettier.
Copy !req
254. What can I do for you today,
little buddy?
Copy !req
255. You want to do something
about that skin?
Copy !req
256. I'm here because it's come to my
attention that I am not growing.
Copy !req
257. You want to know
the secret to growing?
Copy !req
258. Get lots of sleep,
eat lots of veggies,
Copy !req
259. and always remember
your inner worth,
Copy !req
260. 'cause that'll make you feel
10 feet tall.
Copy !req
261. Oh.
Copy !req
262. Klaus made it sound like
Copy !req
263. you might have more
immediate solutions.
Copy !req
264. You know Klaus?
Copy !req
265. That changes everything.
Copy !req
266. Much can be done
about your height.
Copy !req
267. Are you familiar with
the abominable sciences?
Copy !req
268. There's bone splicing,
giraffe marrow transplant.
Copy !req
269. I could boil your brain
in gorilla hormones.
Copy !req
270. I also have
unorthodox options.
Copy !req
271. For instance,
I could have your soul
Copy !req
272. put into the body
of something taller.
Copy !req
273. How comfortable are you
with the serpent god Oxumaré?
Copy !req
274. Not super comfortable.
Copy !req
275. We'll stick to surgery,
then!
Copy !req
276. I'd like to think on it.
Copy !req
277. What's there
to think about?
Copy !req
278. If B.B. King had come to me,
he would have never died...
Copy !req
279. at the height he was.
Copy !req
280. The Carconi Brothers are
coming to tear you down.
Copy !req
281. They're coming,
Copy !req
282. and — and I don't have any
ideas about how to stop them.
Copy !req
283. Get out of the way,
you tree-hugging fruit.
Copy !req
284. So,
you think I'm a fruit, huh?
Copy !req
285. Well, then a fruit
I shall become.
Copy !req
286. Oh, my God, Freddie,
we can't chop down a tree
Copy !req
287. with a homosexual man
in it.
Copy !req
288. Ugh, no.
Copy !req
289. I made a gay slur,
then he threw it back in my face
Copy !req
290. by acting like the kind of fruit
that grows on trees.
Copy !req
291. Everybody thinks so fast.
Copy !req
292. Stan Smith, remove yourself
from the tree immediately.
Copy !req
293. Not until you promise
you won't cut it down.
Copy !req
294. That's a great idea.
Copy !req
295. I'll go and get on the roof
of my store right —
Copy !req
296. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
297. Can I offer you
a temporary tattoo?
Copy !req
298. I'll get him down,
Freddie.
Copy !req
299. I know just how
to play this guy.
Copy !req
300. Please get down.
Copy !req
301. Freddie says
the budget's so tight
Copy !req
302. that if you delay us
just seven days,
Copy !req
303. the whole thing'll be canceled,
saving your stupid tree.
Copy !req
304. Seven days?
Copy !req
305. I can do that
for my tree dad.
Copy !req
306. Dumb Frankie.
Copy !req
307. Dumb. Dumb.
Copy !req
308. W-What are you, uh —
Copy !req
309. W-What do you get
out of this Frankie thing?
Copy !req
310. Actually, I get some great intel
for Fikowski Asphalt.
Copy !req
311. It's me, Dom Fikowski.
Copy !req
312. You'll never make it
a week.
Copy !req
313. Dr. Kalgary, I've decided I —
Oh, you're with a patient.
Copy !req
314. It's just Billy.
He's part of the program.
Copy !req
315. One of my success stories.
Copy !req
316. I used to be
six inches tall.
Copy !req
317. Now
I'm Daddy's favorite.
Copy !req
318. Look at me walk.
Copy !req
319. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
320. W-Well, despite... this,
I still want the operation.
Copy !req
321. I need to grow.
Copy !req
322. Wonderful!
Copy !req
323. You'll be able to look over
any stall in the men's room
Copy !req
324. and see what's happening.
Copy !req
325. Hooray.
Copy !req
326. It's coming to the end of day 7
in —
Copy !req
327. Oop, that weird Carconi brother
Copy !req
328. who's always telling everyone
he's an honorary firefighter
Copy !req
329. is approaching the tree now.
Copy !req
330. Well, Freddie says
once the sun sets,
Copy !req
331. we got to send
the crew home.
Copy !req
332. That means
the stadium's dead
Copy !req
333. and he's not gonna take me
to Mountain Mike's Pizza.
Copy !req
334. And it's the sauciest pizza.
Copy !req
335. Oh,
my sweet flesh family.
Copy !req
336. Come, be with me
in my hour of triumph.
Copy !req
337. Honey,
you've blown me away
Copy !req
338. with your commitment
to this hunger strike.
Copy !req
339. It wasn't supposed to be
a hunger strike.
Copy !req
340. I kept asking you
to bring me food.
Copy !req
341. But I stood strong.
Copy !req
342. Hayley, who would have thought
that between the two of us,
Copy !req
343. I'd be the first one
to save a tree?
Copy !req
344. I've saved lots of trees.
Copy !req
345. I'm sorry.
You're right, sweetie.
Copy !req
346. Not ever buying or reading books
is also a way of saving trees.
Copy !req
347. Where's Steve?
Copy !req
348. Yeah, where is Steve?
Copy !req
349. Oh, you guys don't know?
Copy !req
350. Steve's with my associate,
Dr. Kalgary,
Copy !req
351. about to undergo
an irreversible,
Copy !req
352. fabulously risky,
height-boosting procedure.
Copy !req
353. What?
What?
Copy !req
354. Steve will be sliced
into pieces,
Copy !req
355. and when he's reassembled,
Copy !req
356. he'll be exactly like the boy
you remember,
Copy !req
357. only taller
and with a lot more bones...
Copy !req
358. if he lives.
Copy !req
359. Oh, God.
Copy !req
360. Why would Steve do something
like this?
Copy !req
361. Wait, does he think
he stopped growing?
Copy !req
362. Yeah, that's right.
I know
what this is about.
Copy !req
363. You do?
Yep.
Copy !req
364. Well?
Copy !req
365. It's sounds like he could
use some guidance, Stan.
Copy !req
366. I agree.
But for whatever reason,
Copy !req
367. he never developed
a relationship with a tree.
Copy !req
368. Poor kid.
Copy !req
369. I think
you can be his tree.
Copy !req
370. A human tree father.
Copy !req
371. It sounds so stupid.
Copy !req
372. But to hell with how it sounds.
Steve needs me.
Copy !req
373. But if I leave to save him,
they're gonna cut you down.
Copy !req
374. You're right.
Steve's my responsibility now.
Copy !req
375. You're still teaching me.
Copy !req
376. I guess... this is goodbye.
Copy !req
377. I love you, Tree Daddy.
Copy !req
378. He's gone!
Copy !req
379. Frankie gets the pizza.
Copy !req
380. Actually, uh, you know,
I think I've changed my mi—
Copy !req
381. Oh.
Copy !req
382. They always get cold feet.
Copy !req
383. And I always
cut them off.
Copy !req
384. Aah!
Copy !req
385. Oh, my God.
I'm so tall.
Copy !req
386. It's gonna take
some getting used to.
Copy !req
387. Aaaaah!
Copy !req
388. Aaaaaah!
Copy !req
389. Look out, Steve.
I made things worse for you.
Copy !req
390. Hold on, son.
I can climb up.
Copy !req
391. Someone taught me how.
Copy !req
392. Dad, get it together!
Copy !req
393. Coming.
Copy !req
394. Aaaah!
Copy !req
395. You're here.
Copy !req
396. Of course I am.
Copy !req
397. It's what dads do.
Copy !req
398. Even when their kid's
a stupid shorty?
Copy !req
399. Steve, there's something
I have to show you.
Copy !req
400. The fuzz!
Copy !req
401. Time to see if your wings work,
Billy!
Copy !req
402. Run, Billy!
Copy !req
403. When I was a boy,
Copy !req
404. I used to carve my height
here on the bark.
Copy !req
405. This extra-deep one
is from a few years
Copy !req
406. where I didn't grow at all.
Copy !req
407. It's called
the Smith Stall.
Copy !req
408. But eventually,
I shot up six inches.
Copy !req
409. So I will get tall.
Copy !req
410. But even if I didn't,
it doesn't matter
Copy !req
411. because I have a dad
who loves me.
Copy !req
412. You're gonna get tall.
Copy !req
413. So, this tree w-was like a dad
to you or something?
Copy !req
414. I know.
We'll both miss him.
Copy !req
415. But he goes on now
to a greater purpose.
Copy !req
416. May his timber bring shelter
to a deserving soul.
Copy !req
417. Please don't cut down this tree.
It's like a father to me.
Copy !req
418. The world... needs
ax handles.
Copy !req
419. Bye! Have a beautiful time!
Copy !req
