1. And now, it's time once
again for Ask Mister Lizard.
Copy !req
2. Hey, Timmy, how'd you like
to learn about geothermal energy?
Copy !req
3. - Geo what?
Copy !req
4. Geothermal. That's the energy
from deep inside the Earth.
Copy !req
5. - Wow.
- It's not easy to see.
Copy !req
6. So it's lucky for us we have
an active volcano right here in the lab.
Copy !req
7. - Wow. I wanna take a closer look.
Copy !req
8. We're gonna need another Timmy.
Copy !req
9. Whoa there, Timmy.
Safety first.
Copy !req
10. Here in the lab we always use
our protective safety goggles.
Copy !req
11. Oh.
Copy !req
12. Aw, Jeez.
Copy !req
13. One of those cranky parent
groups must have gotten to them.
Copy !req
14. And not a moment too soon.
I've never liked this program.
Copy !req
15. Yeah, yeah.
Go answer the door.
Copy !req
16. Wow! I don't see any
geothermal energy.
Copy !req
17. - When's it gonna start?
- Well, Timmy,
Copy !req
18. - nature has her own schedule.
- Oh.
Copy !req
19. But let's see if we can't
give her a little nudge.
Copy !req
20. We're gonna need another Timmy.
Copy !req
21. Earl, there's someone
at the door.
Copy !req
22. Tell 'em I'm busy. I'm sharing
a quality moment with my TV.
Copy !req
23. - Hey.
- And the kid.
Copy !req
24. It's Pearl.
Copy !req
25. - Your sister.
- Pearl?
Copy !req
26. Your sister.
Copy !req
27. No, it can't be. Go check again.
Copy !req
28. I think I know your sister
when I see her.
Copy !req
29. Do you? Oh, well, you got
a better memory than I do
Copy !req
30. because I'd completely
forgotten I had a sister.
Copy !req
31. I'm not even sure
I'd recognize her.
Copy !req
32. Why, Earl Sinclair.
Copy !req
33. Lordy, brother,
have you gotten fat.
Copy !req
34. Honey, I'm home.
Copy !req
35. Aaah!
Copy !req
36. - Ohh!
- Ow!
Copy !req
37. - Ow!
- Ooh!
Copy !req
38. Aah!
Copy !req
39. Earl, aren't you going
to say hello to your sister?
Copy !req
40. - Hi.
- What makes you so sure she is my sister?
Copy !req
41. We haven't seen her in 15 years.
She could be an imposter.
Copy !req
42. I wanna see some ID, lady.
Copy !req
43. And I wanna see my new nephew.
Copy !req
44. Hello, pumpkin.
Copy !req
45. Who are you?
Copy !req
46. I'm your auntie, Pearl.
Copy !req
47. - And look what I got
just for you. - Ooh!
Copy !req
48. Think some cheap toy
you bought from an airport
Copy !req
49. can make up for
the years of neglect?
Copy !req
50. You can't just walk in here
and buy a child's love.
Copy !req
51. - I love you, Auntie Pearl.
- Oh.
Copy !req
52. Well,
it's been a swell reunion.
Copy !req
53. Let's do it again in 15 years.
See ya.
Copy !req
54. - Earl, can I talk
to you for a moment? - There's nothing to talk about.
Copy !req
55. - Get in here, Earl.
- Uh... Yes, puddin'.
Copy !req
56. - Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom...
- I sure wish he wasn't so mad at me.
Copy !req
57. Give him a toy.
Copy !req
58. Oh, I think it's gonna take
a lot more than that, sugar.
Copy !req
59. More than a toy? Wow.
Copy !req
60. I can't believe you like her.
Copy !req
61. - Check out
how she dresses. - Well, bless my soul.
Copy !req
62. I bet these two wholesome
young'uns must be Robbie and Charlene.
Copy !req
63. Oh, give me a hug.
Copy !req
64. - Who are you?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
65. They told us at school
not to hug strangers.
Copy !req
66. Yeah, there was
a special assembly.
Copy !req
67. Heck, I'm no stranger.
I'm your aunt Pearl.
Copy !req
68. Your dad's sister.
Copy !req
69. He did tell you about me,
didn't he?
Copy !req
70. - Aunt Pearl... Aunt Pearl...
- Um, I don't... Uh...
Copy !req
71. Oh! Oh, yeah.
When did you get out of prison?
Copy !req
72. He told you I was in jail?
Copy !req
73. He said you were either
dead or in prison, so I...
Copy !req
74. Oh, your dad has got
some imagination.
Copy !req
75. Not really.
Copy !req
76. Hey... Is that your guitar?
Copy !req
77. - Why, sure.
That's why I'm here. - Oh.
Copy !req
78. Gonna be serenading the barflies
all week down at the Buckin' Bronto.
Copy !req
79. - You're a singer? Wow!
- Yep.
Copy !req
80. Are you sure you're
related to Dad?
Copy !req
81. Oh, come on. Don't tell me
you can't see the family resemblance.
Copy !req
82. Yeah, I guess you look
like him a little. Oh, no offense.
Copy !req
83. - Pearl.
Copy !req
84. Your brother has something
he'd like to say.
Copy !req
85. - Get out of my house.
Copy !req
86. Oh! Uh...
Copy !req
87. Oh, I just remembered that
we've always taught our kids
Copy !req
88. to treat every member of the
family with love and respect.
Copy !req
89. - Actually, what you said was...
- Shut up, I'm talking.
Copy !req
90. So, since I don't want to set
a bad example for my kids...
Copy !req
91. or give up
certain activities...
Copy !req
92. I've decided
you don't have to leave.
Copy !req
93. And I'd like to extend a very
warm and heartfelt welcome.
Copy !req
94. Well, thank you for that
gracious country greeting.
Copy !req
95. I'd like to reciprocate
by invitin' y'all
Copy !req
96. to come see me
at the Bronto tonight.
Copy !req
97. - Oh.
Copy !req
98. - Oh, yeah.
- Can we go?
Copy !req
99. To a sleazy honky-tonk,
full of barflies and floozies,
Copy !req
100. where liquor is cheap
and life is cheaper?
Copy !req
101. - So that's a "yes"?
- Oh, sorry. It's a school night.
Copy !req
102. - Cut 'em some slack, Earl.
Copy !req
103. - Yeah.
- You can bend the rules just this once.
Copy !req
104. - Yeah.
- Well, there it is, Fran.
Copy !req
105. Pearl's philosophy on life:
Copy !req
106. Rules are made to be broken.
If it feels good, do it.
Copy !req
107. Follow your dreams.
Live life to the fullest.
Copy !req
108. - What's wrong with that?
- What's wrong with that is...
Copy !req
109. - ... is... You're not
going out tonight! -
Copy !req
110. - That's unreasonable.
- Life's unreasonable.
Copy !req
111. And as long as I'm your father
and Pearl isn't,
Copy !req
112. it's going to stay unreasonable.
Copy !req
113. Now, go and do your homework.
Copy !req
114. Aw, jeez.
Copy !req
115. I suppose Dad's right.
It's a school night. Homework comes first.
Copy !req
116. - Yeah.
- Huh.
Copy !req
117. - Who had the root beer?
- Oh. Over here.
Copy !req
118. - And here you go.
- Oh, uh, thanks.
Copy !req
119. - Thanks.
- And put away those books. You're in an unsavory dive.
Copy !req
120. - Act like it.
- Oh, yeah. Right.
Copy !req
121. Yech.
Copy !req
122. - I just love your new hat!
Copy !req
123. Hey, you made it!
Copy !req
124. I can't believe his highness
changed his mind.
Copy !req
125. - Well...
- Uh, yeah.
Copy !req
126. Well, I guess Dad realized
he was being selfish and unfair.
Copy !req
127. - Oh. You snuck out, didn't you?
Copy !req
128. Yeah.
Copy !req
129. Well, don't fret on it.
I won't snitch.
Copy !req
130. Heck, I'm just flattered
you took such a big chance to come see me sing.
Copy !req
131. - Aw.
- Well...
Copy !req
132. Robbie? Charlene?
Copy !req
133. Hey, you kids better have
a darn good reason for being here on a school night.
Copy !req
134. - Uh...
- Uh, we do.
Copy !req
135. Oh, good. I'm sorry
to come down on you so hard.
Copy !req
136. Hey, tiger. Have we met?
Copy !req
137. Dah... Duh... Bah...
Copy !req
138. I reckon not, 'cause I'm sure
I'd remember a cute rascal like you.
Copy !req
139. - Oh, uh, this is Dad's sister.
Copy !req
140. I'm Pearl.
Copy !req
141. And I'm, uh...
Copy !req
142. Um, Aunt Pearl,
I've seen this before.
Copy !req
143. It's gonna be a while
before he gets to his name.
Copy !req
144. Well, uh, I gotta get on stage.
Copy !req
145. But, I tell you what, darling,
Copy !req
146. you save some of that sparkling
conversation for after the show, OK.
Copy !req
147. Yi, yi,
yi, me, no, nay, nay, neh...
Copy !req
148. - Good luck. Break a leg.
Copy !req
149. And now,
the Buckin' Bronto is proud to present
Copy !req
150. the very first lady of country
music, Pearl Sinclair.
Copy !req
151. - Howdy!
Copy !req
152. - ... Roy. Dah! Roy Hess.
Copy !req
153. - Uh, where'd she go?
Copy !req
154. - Up there.
- Duh... Huh?
Copy !req
155. Hey. This is a little tune
I wrote that sort of tells my story.
Copy !req
156. - Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
157. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
158. Gosh, it was like
she was singin' just to me.
Copy !req
159. Ooh.
Copy !req
160. Now do you see
what I mean?
Copy !req
161. Where Pearl Sinclair goes,
trouble follows.
Copy !req
162. You want trouble, call Pearl.
Pearl equals trouble.
Copy !req
163. - Look up trouble
in the dictionary... - I get it, Earl!
Copy !req
164. But, let's not be hasty.
Copy !req
165. We don't know for a fact she
told the kids to disobey you.
Copy !req
166. It doesn't matter,
she provided the temptation.
Copy !req
167. This wouldn't have happened
if she wasn't here in the first place.
Copy !req
168. That's not fair, Earl.
By your reasoning,
Copy !req
169. if I cheat on my diet because
there's cake in the fridge,
Copy !req
170. you'd blame the cake.
Copy !req
171. There's cake?
Copy !req
172. - Oh.
- Thanks a lot for comin', guys.
Copy !req
173. It meant a lot to me
havin' you there.
Copy !req
174. Never thought I'd say this,
but the cake'll have to wait.
Copy !req
175. Let's be quiet.
We don't want to wake up Dad.
Copy !req
176. - He's awake.
- Busted.
Copy !req
177. So, you two minors
have a nice time bar-hopping?
Copy !req
178. Now, tiny, if you gotta be mad
at somebody, it might as well be me.
Copy !req
179. That's pretty much what I had in
mind. And don't call me tiny.
Copy !req
180. Earl, all they were doing
was listening to a little music.
Copy !req
181. Tonight.
Copy !req
182. But next, they'll wanna
join a band
Copy !req
183. and travel from town
to town like gypsies.
Copy !req
184. Living on the road,
one step ahead of the law,
Copy !req
185. meeting colorful rogues and
scalawags and getting into all kinds of scrapes.
Copy !req
186. Gee, I was thinking about
college but this sounds better.
Copy !req
187. Would any of these scalawags
be, like... cute boys?
Copy !req
188. - You hear that?
Copy !req
189. You've corrupted them. Now
I want you out of my house and out of our lives.
Copy !req
190. Oh, why don't you lighten up?
Copy !req
191. - Yeah.
- Lighten up?
Copy !req
192. Oh... You kids would like that,
wouldn't you?
Copy !req
193. You'd like it
if I acted like Pearl.
Copy !req
194. Sashay into town,
sing a few songs, give everybody a good time.
Copy !req
195. You'd all just love that.
Copy !req
196. - It'd be a big improvement.
- Yeah. We'd like you better.
Copy !req
197. - Sounds exciting.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
198. Well, Pearl.
I hope you're satisfied.
Copy !req
199. You've successfully turned
my family against me.
Copy !req
200. - Huh?
- Your work here is done.
Copy !req
201. I'm not turning anybody
against you, Earl.
Copy !req
202. You've done that
all by yourself.
Copy !req
203. Huh.
Copy !req
204. Uh...
Copy !req
205. - You can't be in love
with Pearl. - But I am in love with her.
Copy !req
206. No, you can't be.
You just met her.
Copy !req
207. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
208. But somehow, when I look
at her, I feel like I'm with an old friend.
Copy !req
209. She's exotic,
yet somehow strangely familiar.
Copy !req
210. - You're just caught
in a romantic haze, Roy. - Yeah.
Copy !req
211. - But don't be fooled.
- Huh?
Copy !req
212. When Pearl's finished with you,
she'll drop you like a two-foot putt.
Copy !req
213. You're wrong, Earl.
Pearl wants to settle down.
Copy !req
214. She told me so
last night, in song.
Copy !req
215. Believe me,
she'll run out on you.
Copy !req
216. How do you know?
Copy !req
217. Because she ran out on me.
Copy !req
218. Well, I guess you had it coming.
Copy !req
219. You should never have been
dating your own sister.
Copy !req
220. - Will you
shut up and listen? - Huh?
Copy !req
221. She didn't just run out on me.
Copy !req
222. She ran out on the whole family.
Copy !req
223. She's selfish and irresponsible.
Copy !req
224. You know, when you talk,
Copy !req
225. your nose crinkles
just like Pearl's.
Copy !req
226. Fine. Fine, go ahead.
Copy !req
227. Fall in love with my sister.
Make the biggest mistake of your life.
Copy !req
228. Oh, thanks, Earl. I didn't wanna
proceed without your blessing.
Copy !req
229. - Woo!
- ♪ Or his big, long teeth go chomp
Copy !req
230. - Yeah!
- Yeah.
Copy !req
231. - All right.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
232. You know, Aunt Pearl, Roy Hess
happens to be a big T-Rex.
Copy !req
233. Yeah, that's true,
but somehow, I figure a sweet fellow like that
Copy !req
234. wouldn't have the heart
to throw me out.
Copy !req
235. Or the arms.
Copy !req
236. Hey, now, wouldn't that
be a hoot
Copy !req
237. if I got married
and settled down here.
Copy !req
238. Now wouldn't that put a knot
in Earl's britches.
Copy !req
239. Yeah, all the more reason
to do it.
Copy !req
240. Yeah, Dad's been
a real jerk lately.
Copy !req
241. He's no fun. I want you
to be my daddy.
Copy !req
242. Oh. Now, I know you mean
that in a sweet way.
Copy !req
243. No I don't.
Copy !req
244. Your dad's got his reasons
for being the way he is.
Copy !req
245. - Yeah?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
246. You see, when our daddy,
your grandpa, died,
Copy !req
247. Earl dropped out of school
and worked as a tree pusher to support Mama.
Copy !req
248. Oh. Well, where were you?
Copy !req
249. I wanted to be a singer
more than anything.
Copy !req
250. So I left home
to pursue my dreams
Copy !req
251. and a rodeo clown named Buttons.
Copy !req
252. But that's a story
for another time.
Copy !req
253. Anyway, your father's
never forgiven me
Copy !req
254. for leaving him at home to care
for Mama all by his self.
Copy !req
255. Hearing you tell it
makes me want to know more.
Copy !req
256. Oh, yeah, your daddy's
a fascinating fella all right.
Copy !req
257. Not Dad. He's dull as dirt.
Copy !req
258. - Tell us more about Buttons.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
259. Well, OK. Once...
Copy !req
260. Yeah.
Copy !req
261. You cuddly carnivore, you.
Copy !req
262. - You come sit by me.
Copy !req
263. Oh, yeah! You were great! Great!
Copy !req
264. - Yeah, great.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
265. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
266. That was wonderful, Pearl.
Copy !req
267. Well, I have someone
wonderful to inspire me.
Copy !req
268. - Really? Who?
Copy !req
269. Who? Like you really don't know.
Copy !req
270. - Lordy, you make me laugh.
Copy !req
271. Pearl, I just want you to know,
this has been the greatest week of my life,
Copy !req
272. with the exception
of Space Camp.
Copy !req
273. I have a feeling that tonight
I'm gonna give Space Camp a run for its money.
Copy !req
274. Ah-hah. That's the most
romantic thing I ever heard.
Copy !req
275. Now, kiss me like you've never
kissed a girl before.
Copy !req
276. Oh, well,
funny you should say that. Um...
Copy !req
277. Uh...
Copy !req
278. Come on, sugar.
Copy !req
279. Mmm.
Copy !req
280. Aaah!

Don't you wanna kiss me?

Copy !req
283. Roy, what's wrong?
Copy !req
284. Uh... I gotta go.
I'm... I'm sorry.
Copy !req
285. You're very nice
but something a little...
Copy !req
286. too familiar
about this and, uh...
Copy !req
287. my stomach hurts.
Copy !req
288. - Oh, boy. Roy, don't go.
Copy !req
289. I'm sorry if I came on
too strong.
Copy !req
290. Oh.

294. Jeez.
Copy !req
295. Look, I just came
to say goodbye.
Copy !req
296. Yeah, right on schedule.
Copy !req
297. The minute Roy told me
he was falling for you
Copy !req
298. I knew you'd be
packing your bags.
Copy !req
299. Instead of settling down
and doing the responsible thing for once in your life
Copy !req
300. you dumped him, like you dumped
Buttons, the rodeo clown
Copy !req
301. and all the other poor saps
who followed in his big, floppy footsteps.
Copy !req
302. I didn't dump Roy.
Copy !req
303. He dumped me.

had some bad years, Earl. -

You've got three beautiful kids.
Copy !req
312. You've ended up
with a pretty good life.
Copy !req
313. Yeah, you're darn right I did.
Copy !req
314. Because I didn't have
to be onstage somewhere,
Copy !req
315. chasing some stupid dream.
Copy !req
316. Feeling the warmth
of the spotlight on my face,
Copy !req
317. my hands flying
over the strings of my guitar,
Copy !req
318. my heart racing with the music,
Copy !req
319. driving the audience
into a frenzy,

throes of passion!

get hot in here?
Copy !req
322. Well, my Lord,
you're jealous.

so sore at me.

something.

down to the club tomorrow night.

why you're so boring and bitter

I was on my way to a compliment.

338. Oh, what Robbie

you, but now we just pity you.

I realized I'd written a duet.
Copy !req
348. So I'm gonna need a little help.
Copy !req
349. - And she calls herself
a professional. - Shh.
Copy !req
350. So I'd like to ask
my brother, Earl,
Copy !req
351. if he'd come up here
and help me.

in the shower every morning.
Copy !req
354. Mom, don't encourage him!
Copy !req
355. Remember, you're the boring,
responsible one.
Copy !req
356. You don't sing in public.
Copy !req
357. - No.
- Please.
Copy !req
358. Thanks for speaking up, son.

Copy !req
365. Well, this song is my way
of saying thank you, big brother.
Copy !req
366. I know it's a little late,
but it's from the heart.
Copy !req

Copy !req

370. Yay!
Copy !req
371. Thank you. Thanks.
Copy !req
372. Daddy!
