1. The dinosaurs...
Copy !req
2. So much is yet unknown about
these ferocious and magnificent beasts
Copy !req
3. that ruled the planet more
than 60 million years ago.
Copy !req
4. Here at the prestigious Royal
Museum of Natural History,
Copy !req
5. artifacts unearthed the world over
provide clues to the dinosaur mystery.
Copy !req
6. Hey.
Copy !req
7. Why is our numerical
system based on ten,
Copy !req
8. when we only have eight fingers?
Copy !req
9. Whoa!
Copy !req
10. And it is up to a select
group of dedicated scientists,
Copy !req
11. called paleontologists,
Copy !req
12. or dinosaur
detectives, if you will,
Copy !req
13. to take these bits of bone,
these fragments of fossil
Copy !req
14. and shape our
understanding of history,
Copy !req
15. indeed, link us to
our primeval past.
Copy !req
16. What qualifies these men and
women to hold such lofty positions?
Copy !req
17. Certainly years of arduous
study and advanced degrees,
Copy !req
18. grueling apprenticeships
and endless field training.
Copy !req
19. That is, until now.
Copy !req
20. Because now, with the Famous
Paleontologists' Home Study Course,
Copy !req
21. you can be working
in this prestigious field,
Copy !req
22. alongside noted scholars
and Nobel prize winners,
Copy !req
23. in as little as eight weeks.
Copy !req
24. This course is a veritable
treasure-trove of valuable information.
Copy !req
25. You'll have everything
you need to get started
Copy !req
26. in the high-paid, glamorous
world of paleontology.
Copy !req
27. Designed so you can
work at your own pace,
Copy !req
28. the home study course
teaches you everything you need
Copy !req
29. to get your
paleontology license.
Copy !req
30. And oddly enough, your
contractors license, as well.
Copy !req
31. These lavishly illustrated
volumes will transport you back
Copy !req
32. tens of millions of
years to the dawn of time.
Copy !req
33. In your mind's eye, you will
see these gigantic reptiles
Copy !req
34. towering against the sky.
Copy !req
35. And in your mind's ear, you
will hear their terrifying roar
Copy !req
36. rumble once again across
the primeval landscape.
Copy !req
37. OK.
Copy !req
38. Here you go.
Copy !req
39. All right, son, you can do it.
Come on, junior, do it for Daddy.
Copy !req
40. Way to go, son!
Copy !req
41. Fascinating.
Copy !req
42. And that's only a
fraction of what you'll learn
Copy !req
43. with the Famous Paleontologists'
Home Study Course.
Copy !req
44. But perhaps you're asking yourselves,
"Is this simple correspondence course
Copy !req
45. really all I need to become
a working paleontologist?"
Copy !req
46. Of course not...
You need this hat.
Copy !req
47. And you can get this totally
authentic hat absolutely free.
Copy !req
48. Stay tuned to Dinosaurs for full
details about this amazing offer!
Copy !req
49. Honey, I'm home.
Copy !req
50. Aaah!
Copy !req
51. - Ohh!
- Ow!
Copy !req
52. - Ow!
- Ooh!
Copy !req
53. Aah!
Copy !req
54. We're back. Clearly, the promise of
a free hat has piqued your interest.
Copy !req
55. I'll be telling you about this
delightful headgear later.
Copy !req
56. - Hey!
- But first, this hard pitch.
Copy !req
57. How many times have
you said to yourself,
Copy !req
58. "Gosh, I'd sure like a career
in one of the natural sciences"?
Copy !req
59. That's where the
real opportunities are,
Copy !req
60. if you have the training.
Copy !req
61. I'd love to help shape
man's perception of history.
Copy !req
62. But I never
finished high school.
Copy !req
63. Not a problem... with the Famous
Paleontologists' Home Study Course.
Copy !req
64. Besides these easy to read workbooks,
you'll also receive reference guides,
Copy !req
65. audio tapes, video tapes, charts,
graphs, models, flash cards,
Copy !req
66. photos, a journal, stickers,
Copy !req
67. and the patented
Wheel O' Dinosaur Facts.
Copy !req
68. Let's say you're at a symposium,
Copy !req
69. exploring family structure
among the dinosaurs.
Copy !req
70. Simply turn the wheel to family
Copy !req
71. and you'll discover that the
dinosaur was actually a devoted
Copy !req
72. and nurturing parent.
Copy !req
73. Nobody's gonna tell me
when and where I can parent.
Copy !req
74. This is my house, these
are my kids and I love 'em.
Copy !req
75. - Hey, Dad...
- Shut up, I'm talking.
Copy !req
76. You know, I was just thinking.
Copy !req
77. When was the last time I sat down
and listened to my son play his guitar?
Copy !req
78. It's called parenting, Earl.
Copy !req
79. Oh, please. I've been
parenting for 15 years.
Copy !req
80. No one has to tell me
how to be a good dad.
Copy !req
81. You get one crumb on that seat
and you're crawling home, buster.
Copy !req
82. Very nurturing.
Copy !req
83. - Daddy!
- What?
Copy !req
84. Play a game.
Copy !req
85. - OK.
- Goody.
Copy !req
86. Let's play... um...
where's Daddy?
Copy !req
87. Hmm.
Copy !req
88. Where's Daddy?
Copy !req
89. This game stinks.
Copy !req
90. Found me yet?
Copy !req
91. Found you.
Copy !req
92. Hey, there's a
hole in this chair.
Copy !req
93. Of course there's a hole
in it. That's the whole point.
Copy !req
94. Now, go.
Copy !req
95. Don't wanna go.
Copy !req
96. Oh, come on!
Copy !req
97. - Mr. Toilet's a friend.
- No.
Copy !req
98. And the best way to
treat a new friend is...
Copy !req
99. to sit in them and give
them a big present.
Copy !req
100. That's disgusting!
Copy !req
101. You guys never
throw parties for me.
Copy !req
102. Charlene, you know we love
you every bit as much as Robbie.
Copy !req
103. He's here.
Copy !req
104. Oh, Robbie!
Copy !req
105. Earl, did you hear that?
Copy !req
106. Charlene's coat just
said we're bad parents.
Copy !req
107. Charlene who?
Copy !req
108. How about that.
Copy !req
109. There's all this
cooperation, all this caring.
Copy !req
110. We're like a cooperating,
caring unit of some kind.
Copy !req
111. - Like a family?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
112. Like on TV.
Copy !req
113. We're so confident
that you'll be thrilled
Copy !req
114. with the Famous Paleontologists'
Home Study Course,
Copy !req
115. we'll make you this
remarkable offer.
Copy !req
116. Order now and you'll
receive, as a special bonus,
Copy !req
117. this authentic and sporty
pith helmet, absolutely free.
Copy !req
118. Yes, it's the very
same pith helmet
Copy !req
119. worn by professional
paleontologists the world over.
Copy !req
120. Just put it on and you can pull
down the same fat salary they do.
Copy !req
121. Another hefty check from a
prestigious European museum.
Copy !req
122. I learned so much
from the course.
Copy !req
123. The volumes on dinosaurs'
sex roles really opened my eyes.
Copy !req
124. I would never have imagined
Copy !req
125. that dinosaur females
contributed so much to their society,
Copy !req
126. and were so respected by males.
Copy !req
127. On your wedding day,
Fran wore something
Copy !req
128. that held great
sentimental value to her.
Copy !req
129. What was it?
Copy !req
130. Deodorant, Bob.
Copy !req
131. I'm sorry. Fran said...
Copy !req
132. My mother's wedding dress.
Copy !req
133. I was so close.
Copy !req
134. Earl, the reason we decided
that I should pay the bills
Copy !req
135. is that when you pay the bills
you always overreact. Oh, my!
Copy !req
136. "Oh, my"? What, "Oh, my"?
You never, say "Oh, my".
Copy !req
137. We'll worry about
this one later.
Copy !req
138. No! We'll fly off the handle about
it right now, thank you very much.
Copy !req
139. It's the phone bill and it's just
a little more than I expected.
Copy !req
140. $4,563,000?
Copy !req
141. That's our phone number.
Copy !req
142. Oh.
Copy !req
143. OK, next question, Earl.
Copy !req
144. Earl, since you've been married,
Copy !req
145. Fran has asked you to remember
only one matter of a romantic nature.
Copy !req
146. What is it?
Copy !req
147. Put the toilet seat down, Bob.
Copy !req
148. Close, but Fran said she
wanted you to remember...
Copy !req
149. Our anniversary.
Copy !req
150. So, you're husband's
in real estate?
Copy !req
151. No, I'm in real estate.
Copy !req
152. It's nice that your husband lets
you help him around the office.
Copy !req
153. So, what do you
do? Make him coffee?
Copy !req
154. No, I don't make
coffee for my husband,
Copy !req
155. because I don't have a husband.
Copy !req
156. Hmm, a big gal like you?
Copy !req
157. Learn to make a good cup of
coffee, you'll snag a male in no time.
Copy !req
158. Robbie, you have
feelings for this girl,
Copy !req
159. but you're breaking up with her
just because of a lot of rumors.
Copy !req
160. Does that make sense?
Copy !req
161. When I first met your father,
a lot of my friends told me
Copy !req
162. he had no ambition, he was lazy,
Copy !req
163. and he would stay a tree pusher
all his life. Now, were they right?
Copy !req
164. That may not be
the best example.
Copy !req
165. - It's over between
Wendy and me.
- Why didn't I listen to them?
Copy !req
166. Fran, have you been drinking?
Copy !req
167. You bet. I've got my beer goggles
on and you are looking mighty fine.
Copy !req
168. Now! Now, now,
now! Just hold on!
Copy !req
169. You can't just turn me on
and off like a light switch.
Copy !req
170. I'm coming from a
vulnerable place right now.
Copy !req
171. Take off your shirt.
Copy !req
172. Earl, you said "pudding
snacks," and Fran said,
Copy !req
173. "The birth of our first child".
Copy !req
174. But it was the male
dinosaur who ruled the roost,
Copy !req
175. strutting, swaggering,
aggressively masculine.
Copy !req
176. It was incredible! I drew
on my primitive instincts,
Copy !req
177. and stalked it, just
like our ancestors did.
Copy !req
178. And then, when
there was no escape,
Copy !req
179. I plunged my pointy stick
savagely into its heart.
Copy !req
180. And at that moment,
I knew I was a hunter!
Copy !req
181. Do you know
what that feels like?
Copy !req
182. Well... uh...
Copy !req
183. I hit something
driving to work once.
Copy !req
184. I think it was a cat.
Copy !req
185. Well, it was either him or me.
Copy !req
186. You know, guys, it doesn't
get any better than this.
Copy !req
187. Out here with my best buds in the
bosom of nature, I feel totally at home.
Copy !req
188. I'm with you there.
Copy !req
189. Out here, I feel
comfortable enough
Copy !req
190. to express my true
aggressive nature.
Copy !req
191. - Spi... spi... spi...
- What?
Copy !req
192. Spi... spi... spi... spi...
spi... spi... spi... spi...
Copy !req
193. Spider!
Copy !req
194. Get it off! Get it off! Get
it off! Get it off! Get it off!
Copy !req
195. "But the warriors were not afraid.
They bravely stood their ground."
Copy !req
196. Gee, I don't know, son.
Copy !req
197. We are dinosaurs. There's a
primitive, brutal beast inside each of us.
Copy !req
198. And yet, we're also civilized
Copy !req
199. and so we've all turned
into a big bunch of wussies.
Copy !req
200. Is he really doing
what I think he's doing?
Copy !req
201. Maybe you're still not sure
Copy !req
202. whether the Famous
Paleontologists' School is right for you.
Copy !req
203. Well, stay tuned.
And I'll show you how,
Copy !req
204. simply by ordering
this remarkable course,
Copy !req
205. you can make a
guaranteed $100,000.
Copy !req
206. Get out of here!
Copy !req
207. How can we guarantee
$100,000 in your pocket
Copy !req
208. by simply ordering the Famous
Paleontologists' Home Study Course?
Copy !req
209. Simple.
Copy !req
210. Cost of a traditional
education in paleontology
Copy !req
211. at a big impressive
university in Europe: $110,000.
Copy !req
212. Cost of the Famous Paleontologists'
$89.95. Save $100,000.
Copy !req
213. And you'll learn everything those
high-priced paleontologists learn,
Copy !req
214. including the latest
theories, which pose
Copy !req
215. that the dinosaurs
did not necessarily
Copy !req
216. spend every waking moment
Copy !req
217. in the brutal
struggle for survival.
Copy !req
218. Kids, drop
everything. It's TV time.
Copy !req
219. Welcome back to
Totally Hidden Predator.
Copy !req
220. We hid our predator in
this peaceful suburban park.
Copy !req
221. Let's watch as the
unsuspecting Ida Schmertzler
Copy !req
222. comes home from the market now.
Copy !req
223. What's for dinner, Ida?
Copy !req
224. You are!
Copy !req
225. The evil Dr. Bad is
up to no good again.
Copy !req
226. Is there no one who can save us?
Copy !req
227. Look! It's Captain
Action Figure!
Copy !req
228. Yay!
Copy !req
229. Stand back, kids! This calls
for my Captain Action Figure
Copy !req
230. Laser-Sighted Bazooka
Blaster! Mm-hmm!
Copy !req
231. Want that!
Copy !req
232. Is this available in
stores everywhere?
Copy !req
233. It sure is, Jeffy.
Copy !req
234. Does it come Utility Belt and
limited supply of Action Ammo?
Copy !req
235. Sold separately.
Copy !req
236. Want that!
Copy !req
237. How long is this commercial?
Copy !req
238. Not a commercial.
Children's programming.
Copy !req
239. TV shows don't cause stupidness.
Copy !req
240. They merely reflect the
stupidness inherent in society.
Copy !req
241. ABC, watch us.
Copy !req
242. Wednesday night is just for
Copy !req
243. laughs with the fresh
new House Full of Dads.
Copy !req
244. Daddy, will you please
read me a bedtime story?
Copy !req
245. - Sure thing.
- OK, sweetheart.
Copy !req
246. I don't get it.
Copy !req
247. This fall, it's Info 411,
Copy !req
248. actual calls for help, real
incidents that really happen.
Copy !req
249. - What city please?
— Yeah, in Lower Pangaea,
Copy !req
250. I need the number
for Don Tarnofsky...
Copy !req
251. I have two D. Tarnofskys,
do you know the street?
Copy !req
252. No, I don't!
Copy !req
253. Info 411, from the producers
of Interesting Car Wrecks.
Copy !req
254. I don't get it.
Copy !req
255. Mother, there must
be more for you to do
Copy !req
256. than sit around and
watch the grass grow.
Copy !req
257. We're back with more
grass-growing action.
Copy !req
258. What an exciting lawn
this has turned out to be.
Copy !req
259. You've got that right, Howard.
Copy !req
260. We've been watching
this dichondra for four days
Copy !req
261. and have seen nearly
a quarter inch of growth.
Copy !req
262. Oh, and... I understand we're going
back down to the lawn right now.
Copy !req
263. Let's watch.
Copy !req
264. And now, back to
Totally ineffectual Dad!
Copy !req
265. Honey, I'm concerned about
Eddie. He seems to be on fire.
Copy !req
266. Tonight, we wondered
what would happen
Copy !req
267. if we put our totally hidden
predator in a personnel office.
Copy !req
268. Hello? Uh, huh?
Copy !req
269. Hello? I'm here for
the job interview.
Copy !req
270. Um... hmm?
Copy !req
271. Hey, it's a predator!
Am I on TV?
Copy !req
272. At the Famous Paleontology
School, we're selective.
Copy !req
273. It's not everyone who can
compete in the challenging
Copy !req
274. and competitive world of
professional paleontology.
Copy !req
275. To see if you qualify, take
this simple test of your aptitude.
Copy !req
276. Draw Rex.
Copy !req
277. Send it in to us and our renowned
faculty will evaluate your drawing
Copy !req
278. to see if you have what it takes
to be a professional paleontologist.
Copy !req
279. If you do, we'll send
you Dinosaurs At Work,
Copy !req
280. in which you'll study the subtle
dynamic between management and labor.
Copy !req
281. You're all fired!
Fired! Fired! Fired!
Copy !req
282. Now, get outta here before I split your
bellies and make tarpaulins out of ya!
Copy !req
283. Sinclair, office!
Copy !req
284. Hey, there's a couple of words you
hate to hear next to each other, huh?
Copy !req
285. Dance!
Copy !req
286. Huh?
Copy !req
287. Now!
Copy !req
288. Oh, yeah, OK.
Copy !req
289. Enough!
Copy !req
290. I just wanted to
see if you'd do it.
Copy !req
291. What's your son doing
dating my daughter?
Copy !req
292. Oh, sir, they barely know each
other. They're practically strangers.
Copy !req
293. I'm not even sure he's my son.
Copy !req
294. They're sitting together
in math class right now!
Copy !req
295. You must have some
kind of parental radar.
Copy !req
296. That's right.
Copy !req
297. The latest in overprotective
parenting technology.
Copy !req
298. That little blip is
the apple of my eye.
Copy !req
299. Yes, I can certainly see
the family resemblance.
Copy !req
300. Oh, some may say I'm an overzealous
control freak with paranoid delusions.
Copy !req
301. No.
Copy !req
302. But I like to think of
myself as a loving papa.
Copy !req
303. Sinclair, you big
dope, get in here!
Copy !req
304. Sinclair, I saw you push down
a tree without getting its roots.
Copy !req
305. Do you know what that means?
Copy !req
306. Um... I get cake?
Copy !req
307. No, you thundering boob!
Copy !req
308. Sinclair, in here now!
Copy !req
309. - He heard us laughing.
- He thinks we're happy.
Copy !req
310. Yeah, he hates that.
Copy !req
311. Uh... do you know why
he called us in here?
Copy !req
312. Guess he wants us to
watch him read the paper.
Copy !req
313. Ah. Uh... no one reads
the paper like you, sir. Uh...
Copy !req
314. Huh.
Copy !req
315. Oh, oh, yeah, the way you turn
those pages, such style, such panache.
Copy !req
316. Shut up!
Copy !req
317. We feel confident that you will be
delighted with our home study course.
Copy !req
318. But don't take our word for it.
Copy !req
319. Listen to these home
study graduates.
Copy !req
320. I wanted something to do in my
spare time while the kids are at school.
Copy !req
321. Now, I'm carbon dating at home and
competing with prestigious universities.
Copy !req
322. I've purchased home
study courses before,
Copy !req
323. but none as satisfying
as paleontology.
Copy !req
324. Now I'm making big bucks
writing scholarly articles
Copy !req
325. for scientific journals.
Copy !req
326. And I can't keep
the chicks off me.
Copy !req
327. We can't guarantee that
you'll be a babe magnet,
Copy !req
328. but we're sure you'll be
riveted by volume nine:
Copy !req
329. The Dinosaur Infant.
Copy !req
330. Not the mama!
Copy !req
331. Look who's home.
Copy !req
332. Not the mama.
Copy !req
333. And what would you be doing?
Copy !req
334. Nothing.
Copy !req
335. You're gonna make
a poop, aren't ya?
Copy !req
336. Maybe.
Copy !req
337. - He's goin'.
- Definitely.
Copy !req
338. Are you going or not?
Copy !req
339. Ahh. Not anymore.
Copy !req
340. Sure you know what you're doing?
Copy !req
341. Haven't a clue.
Copy !req
342. Mommy!
Copy !req
343. Hey, don't you
worry, little guy.
Copy !req
344. You're in capable hands.
Copy !req
345. See, your dad and Uncle Roy
have everything under control.
Copy !req
346. Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
347. Hey, hey, watch it, watch it!
Copy !req
348. - OK, let's open her up.
- Easy. Oh, no.
Copy !req
349. It's OK. It's OK. We can...
We can get through this.
Copy !req
350. Let's just breath through our
mouths and think of daisies.
Copy !req
351. Roy? Roy! Roy, don't leave
me alone here with this!
Copy !req
352. Don't you point
that thing at me.
Copy !req
353. Gotcha.
Copy !req
354. You sure you don't want this?
Copy !req
355. Do you mind?
I'm trying to study.
Copy !req
356. Now, if I can make
a viewing suggestion,
Copy !req
357. there's a game of
football coming up.
Copy !req
358. I wanna see The
Little Underwater Girl.
Copy !req
359. But, sweetheart, we've watched
that tape a hundred times.
Copy !req
360. I wanna see The
Little Underwater Girl!
Copy !req
361. Again!
Copy !req
362. Bloop! Bloop!
