Not your parents.Copy !req
34. It's bad enough you and

35. Well, I'm sorry, Stan.Copy !req
36. But growing up
in a Chinese household,Copy !req
37. we never had Thanksgiving.Copy !req
38. I wanted to introduce 'em to it.Copy !req
39. Francine, I'm not running
a master class in Thanksgiving.Copy !req
40. Well, I invited 'em and
they're coming and that's that.Copy !req
41. Okay, but they eat alone in
the garage, out of trash bags,Copy !req
42. and use the neighbor's bathroom.Copy !req
43. Can we at least agree to that?Copy !req
44. No!
How about they have
full yard privileges,Copy !req
45. two unrefrigerated sodas apiece,Copy !req
46. and at the end of the night
I'll say a chilly good-byeCopy !req
47. to the parent of your choosing?Copy !req

and stuffing,Copy !req
91. not a medley of
longevity-inducing vegetables.Copy !req
92. Stan, this is my
mom's famous stir-fry.Copy !req
93. I thought we could have it
instead of sweet potatoes.Copy !req
94. But that's not Thanksgiving!Copy !req
95. I don't want
to see this tiny corn!Copy !req
96. I don't want to see
your tiny corn!Copy !req

are the Indians.Copy !req
137. If we want to save
this Thanksgiving,Copy !req
138. we've got to get them
out of this house.Copy !req
139. Okay, first, you're calling
yourself a Pilgrim,Copy !req
140. but you're dressed
like an Indian.Copy !req
141. It's very confusing.Copy !req
142. Second, didn't the Pilgrims
invite the Indians to dinner?Copy !req
143. Klaus, you're missing the point.Copy !req
144. It might not have even happened.Copy !req
145. It's just a story that teaches
us to treat each other nicely.Copy !req
146. Now, we got to get these
stupid idiots out of our house!Copy !req
147. I see. And how do you plan
to do that?Copy !req

your Great Wall,Copy !req
155. and I'm going to
plunder your culture!Copy !req
156. Actually, not all Chinese people
think of Genghis Khan as scary.Copy !req
157. Many Chinese view him
as great military leaderCopy !req
158. who laid down groundwork
for the third new dynasty.Copy !req
159. Francine, I
bought a horse.Copy !req
160. Ferocious panda

171. No, keep trying.Copy !req
172. Stan, I'm completely immersed
in water.Copy !req
173. Maybe I am not the one
to be futzing with the TV.Copy !req
174. Oh, don't be
such a baby.Copy !req
175. Ooh, ooh!
You almost had it!Copy !req
176. Wh-Whatever you did,

spend Thanksgiving with,Copy !req
185. so if you can just
show me your TV.Copy !req
186. It's right here.Copy !req
187. Oh, wow, it usually takes me
a half hour to find those.Copy !req
188. Perfect, Stan!Copy !req
189. If Roger fixes the TV,Copy !req
190. then maybe Francine's parents
can stay after all.Copy !req
191. Francine, where do you
recycle your chicken heads?Copy !req
192. No. No, if I don't put
a stop to this now,Copy !req
193. they're just gonna
come back every year.Copy !req
194. Oh, I just realized
this thing is tubeless.Copy !req
195. That might
be a problem.Copy !req
196. Jeremy, it's Trev.Copy !req
197. We're gonna have
to open up a new ticket.Copy !req
198. Stan, why you pay
good money?Copy !req
199. I could fix.Copy !req
200. You don't need to call
Nerd Brigade.Copy !req
201. Sir, I'm sorry, I'm gonna
have to step in here.Copy !req
202. I am from the
Nerd Squad, okay?Copy !req
203. The Nerd Brigade wishes
they were the Nerd Squad.Copy !req
204. Trust me, all right?
Trust me on that.Copy !req
205. Ask anyone who does audiovisual
in the Langley Falls areaCopy !req
206. and they will tell you
that they prefer the Nerd SquadCopy !req
207. all... day... long.Copy !req
208. Okay? Y-You want me to wait?Copy !req

to the salon.Copy !req
355. And while I smell beer
on your breath,Copy !req
356. it has a whiff of the...
Dutch lowlands,Copy !req
