1. Hey, dad, you gonna eat
your last piece of bacon?
Copy !req
2. Nice.
Copy !req
3. Oh, dad, by the way I'm having
career day at my school,
Copy !req
4. And I was wondering if you could come.
Copy !req
5. Really? You want me to come
in and talk about my job?
Copy !req
6. - That's fantastic.
- Easy, big guy.
Copy !req
7. You're a time filler.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Copy !req
8. That's a little less fantastic.
Copy !req
9. Hey, how come I never came in and
spoke to one of your classes?
Copy !req
10. We didn't have career day back then.
Copy !req
11. It's a whole new idea.
Copy !req
12. Really? They had career day
when I was a kid.
Copy !req
13. Must have skipped a generation.
Copy !req
14. Hey, Gabe.
Copy !req
15. Why aren't you asking me
to career day this year?
Copy !req
16. Because of what happened last year.
Copy !req
17. We see a lot of interesting
things in the emergency room.
Copy !req
18. This is what can happen when you
don't follow the directions.
Copy !req
19. On the chainsaw.
Copy !req
20. Kids, kids, hold your
reactions till the end.
Copy !req
21. We've got a lot of pictures here.
Copy !req
22. So now severed limbs
are off-limits to 11-year-olds?
Copy !req
23. What?
Copy !req
24. 'I just feel so plain.'
Copy !req
25. And pepe, his friend
the pepperoni pizza said,
Copy !req
26. 'but, cheesy,
that's why kids love you.'
Copy !req
27. And cheesy felt
all better.
Copy !req
28. "The end."
Copy !req
29. Mom.
Copy !req
30. Candace, thank you we really enjoyed it..
Copy !req
31. I heard you snoring.
Copy !req
32. The important thing
right, Charlie? D it.
Copy !req
33. No, mommy.
Copy !req
34. She's right.
It was not a good book.
Copy !req
35. I could write a better story than that.
Copy !req
36. I wish you would.
Publishing, hildren's.
Copy !req
37. And I am always for new talent.
Copy !req
38. Anyway, we'll see you guys next week.
Copy !req
39. - Bye, Candace.
- See ya.
Copy !req
40. - That gives me an idea.
- Me too.
Copy !req
41. A children's book!
Copy !req
42. What do you know about writing?
Copy !req
43. What do you know about children?
Copy !req
44. Maybe we could write a book together.
Copy !req
45. And then we could read it
at next week's story time.
Copy !req
46. And the kids will go crazy.
Candace will publish it,
Copy !req
47. And I'll be on
"good morning Denver."
Copy !req
48. Right now let's just focus on
writing a good story for the kids.
Copy !req
49. You're right. You're right.
It's all about the kids.
Copy !req
50. Oh, great.
I guess dinner's here.
Copy !req
51. And a happy kwikki chikki hello to you.
Copy !req
52. - I heard that, Scott.
- I'm sure that you heard, but when I ask.
Copy !req
53. For a home-cooked meal,
you suddenly go deaf.
Copy !req
54. I'm not a housewife.
I work too.
Copy !req
55. Do you want me to come back later?
Copy !req
56. No, then the food will be cold.
Copy !req
57. Don't worry.
It's already cold.
Copy !req
58. Let's ask this guy.
What do you think?
Copy !req
59. Come on, we want your opinion.
Copy !req
60. Who is responsible for dinner?
Copy !req
61. That is a tough question.
I've seen mz parents have the very same argument
Copy !req
62. 'cause they both have jobs too.
Copy !req
63. - How do they work it out?
- Very loudly.
Copy !req
64. But at least they're communicating,
Copy !req
65. Which is maybe what you guys need to do.
Copy !req
66. But we are communicating.
Copy !req
67. Are you?
Are you really?
Copy !req
68. No, we're not.
Copy !req
69. Maybe it's time to start.
Copy !req
70. I just want things to go back to the way
they were when we first got married.
Copy !req
71. I want that too.
I'm sorry, honey.
Copy !req
72. I'm sorry too.
Copy !req
73. Well, I guess there's only
one thing left to say.
Copy !req
74. That'll be $14.95.
Copy !req
75. Okay, tell me what you think of this.
Copy !req
76. "actress, singer, dancer,
comedian, entertainer, nurse,"
Copy !req
77. Wife, mother of four,
Amy Duncan now adds author.
Copy !req
78. "To her long list
of credits."
Copy !req
79. What is that?
Copy !req
80. It's my bio for the book jacket.
Copy !req
81. Too long?
Copy !req
82. 'cause I could lose
"wife and mother of four."
Copy !req
83. Hey, I have an idea.
Copy !req
84. Instead of a book jacket,
let's write a book.
Copy !req
85. Okay, seems kind of backwards
to me, but okay, sure.
Copy !req
86. Let's just brainstorm and
see what we come up with.
Copy !req
87. Excellent idea.
Copy !req
88. Brainstorming.
Copy !req
89. Stormy brain.
Copy !req
90. Thinking, thoughts, ideas, words...
Copy !req
91. Mom, brainstorms are usually quiet.
Copy !req
92. Sorry.
Copy !req
93. And remember, an idea
can come from anywhere.
Copy !req
94. - Got it!
- What?
Copy !req
95. Trashy.
Copy !req
96. Trashy?
Copy !req
97. Trashy the trash can.
Copy !req
98. I was staring at the trash
can and it just came to me.
Copy !req
99. Okay, trashy.
Copy !req
100. So what's his story?
Copy !req
101. Teddy, I can't do all the work.
I came up with trashy.
Copy !req
102. Yeah, but what's he trying
to teach the kids?
Copy !req
103. Oh, okay.
Copy !req
104. Um, well, when trashy.
Copy !req
105. Sees someone litter,
Copy !req
106. He says,
"enh-enh-enh-enh."
Copy !req
107. I do that really well.
I should do hjs voice for the movie.
Copy !req
108. Hey, mom, let's think of some other ideas.
Copy !req
109. Really?
Copy !req
110. 'cause I'm loving me some trashy.
Copy !req
111. Okay okay, well, maybe
we should work separately,
Copy !req
112. Then get together tomorrow
with some new ideas.
Copy !req
113. That aren't based off of the
first thing you looked at.
Copy !req
114. - Fine.
- Good.
Copy !req
115. - Whatever.
- Great.
Copy !req
116. Enh-enh-enh.
Copy !req
117. I can see it
on a t-shirt.
Copy !req
118. Okay, dad, career day is tomorrow.
Copy !req
119. What's your plan?
Copy !req
120. - My plan?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
121. To wing it.
Copy !req
122. Dad, this isn't a toast
to mom on your anniversary.
Copy !req
123. This is important.
Copy !req
124. Now you can't just get up
there and talk aboutour job.
Copy !req
125. You gotta put on a show.
Copy !req
126. This is all about
the sizzle, not the steak.
Copy !req
127. I get it.
Copy !req
128. You want me to bring in a couple
of critters that I caught,
Copy !req
129. Like a rat or a possum.
Copy !req
130. Is there any chance you could
catch something exciting,
Copy !req
131. Like an alligator or a lion.
Copy !req
132. Or a polar bear?
Yeah.
Copy !req
133. Well, those might be tough
since career day is tomorrow.
Copy !req
134. And we live in Denver.
Copy !req
135. All right, dad, whatever you do,
Copy !req
136. Just don't embarrass me.
Copy !req
137. That means shirt tucked in
and your most dependable belt.
Copy !req
138. Hey, that's not gonna happen again.
Copy !req
139. Man, you ruin one little league game...
Copy !req
140. Hi again.
Copy !req
141. Ooh, something smells good.
Copy !req
142. - I'm making pork chops.
- Then why'd you order chicken?
Copy !req
143. Actually, we were hoping you could
help us with another problem.
Copy !req
144. Oh, well, come on out.
Copy !req
145. Have a seat, make yourselves at home.
Copy !req
146. Talk to me.
Copy !req
147. The thing is Christine's mother
wants to come and stay with us.
Copy !req
148. For two weeks.
Copy !req
149. I wanted to ask her to come for less time,
Copy !req
150. But...
Copy !req
151. But what?
Copy !req
152. Come on, tell the chicken guy.
Copy !req
153. - But I'm afraid of her. There, I said it.
- Yeah, but just because...
Copy !req
154. Hold on.
We're working with Christine now.
Copy !req
155. Now, Christine, how did that make you feel?
Copy !req
156. Well, it makes me feel
sad, and I want Scott...
Copy !req
157. - Scott, feedback.
- I feel that I'd like to help Christine,
Copy !req
158. - So she wouldn't be so sad.
- How can you help?
Copy !req
159. Well...
but you asked me.
Copy !req
160. Don't question my process.
Copy !req
161. I'll tell you how you can help.
Date night.
Copy !req
162. - Date night. - Yeah, make sure you
guys schedule some alone time.
Copy !req
163. While your mother's here.
Copy !req
164. Your needs are important too.
Copy !req
165. - Date night. That's a great idea.
- Yeah. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
166. Hey, it's what I do.
Copy !req
167. Now let's take a look at those pork chops.
Copy !req
168. Now before we share our book ideas,
Copy !req
169. Let's remember to be kind.
Copy !req
170. That's right.
There are no bad ideas.
Copy !req
171. I'll go first.
Copy !req
172. Ba-bam!
Copy !req
173. Hey, trashy's back.
Copy !req
174. I know.
Copy !req
175. Try as I might, I could not top him.
Copy !req
176. Can I share one of my ideas now?
Copy !req
177. Y-yeah, of course.
Go ahead.
Copy !req
178. Okay.
Copy !req
179. So my idea is a story.
Copy !req
180. About a little tin can and his name is...
Copy !req
181. "Tim can."
Copy !req
182. So the story begins with Tim
on the shelf at the store.
Copy !req
183. Then he goes on some amazing adventures.
Copy !req
184. That teach kids all about recycling.
What do you think?
Copy !req
185. I think I was wrong.
Copy !req
186. There are bad ideas.
Copy !req
187. Honey, don't get too down on yourself.
Copy !req
188. I set the bar pretty high with trashy.
Copy !req
189. Are you kidding?
You just... you pointed at a trash can.
Copy !req
190. And gave it a stupid name.
I could do that.
Copy !req
191. Let's write a story
about tabley or blendery.
Copy !req
192. Blendery?
Okay, that's just silly.
Copy !req
193. What would a blender say?
"chop chop chop"?
Copy !req
194. Even I can't make that work.
Copy !req
195. You know what
doesn't work? This.
Copy !req
196. You know what you are...
jealous.
Copy !req
197. Yes, I am,
Copy !req
198. Of people that don't have to work with you.
Copy !req
199. Then fine.
Don't work with me.
Copy !req
200. I'll write "trashy" by myself.
Copy !req
201. Okay, well, I'll write "tim can" by myself,
Copy !req
202. Then next week at story time, we'll
let the kids decide which one's best.
Copy !req
203. Oh yeah yeah. They'll decide...
To feed your book to trashy!
Copy !req
204. When mommy finishes reading
her book at story time,
Copy !req
205. I want you to jump up
and yell, "yay, trashy!"
Copy !req
206. - Can you do that for me?
- Yay, trashy!
Copy !req
207. Yay!
Copy !req
208. - What are you doing?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
209. You're coaching Charlie.
Mom, that's cheating.
Copy !req
210. I am her mother.
Copy !req
211. It is my job to tell her
what stuff to like.
Copy !req
212. Okay, so trashy's the right stuff?
Copy !req
213. Enh-enh-enh.
Copy !req
214. Even though you're mocking me,
Copy !req
215. It still works.
Copy !req
216. Okay, Charlie, now repeat after me,
Copy !req
217. "Tim can,
I love Tim can."
Copy !req
218. Yay, trashy!
Copy !req
219. Gahhh!
Copy !req
220. Guys, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
221. - This is my mother Elaine.
- We need you.
Copy !req
222. We tried ordering chicken,
Copy !req
223. But they said you weren't working today.
Copy !req
224. Well, I guess I could fit you in.
Copy !req
225. Have a seat.
Copy !req
226. Okay, talk to me.
Copy !req
227. I didn't come halfway across this country.
Copy !req
228. So these two could go out on a date night.
Copy !req
229. Then feel free to go back.
Copy !req
230. Scott, that is my mother.
Copy !req
231. Okay okay, I see what's going on here.
Copy !req
232. You guys are talking at each
other, not with each other.
Copy !req
233. Now you talk to me, and I'll talk to him.
Copy !req
234. And he'll talk to me and I'll talk to her.
Copy !req
235. She'll talk to me, and I'll talk to you.
Copy !req
236. That's you to me, me to him, him to me,
Copy !req
237. Me to her, her to me, me to you.
Copy !req
238. It's just that simple.
Copy !req
239. It's kind of hard to take you
seriously without the hat.
Copy !req
240. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
241. Let's get to work.
Copy !req
242. I was just afraid of losing you.
Copy !req
243. You'll never lose me.
Copy !req
244. And you can stay here
as long as you like, mom.
Copy !req
245. What's going on in here?
Copy !req
246. Healing. What's going
on in here is healing.
Copy !req
247. Thank you,
Mr. Turtlebaum. Oh.
Copy !req
248. Of "turtlebaum & turtlebaum accounting:
Copy !req
249. A professional corporation."
Copy !req
250. Right. Now let's give a
warm room six welcome.
Copy !req
251. To my dad, Bob Duncan.
Copy !req
252. - Hey.
- Dazzle me.
Copy !req
253. Hey, everybody, I am Bob
Duncan of Bob's bugs be gone.
Copy !req
254. And I am here today.
Copy !req
255. To talk to you.
Copy !req
256. About the fine art of pest control.
Copy !req
257. Yes.
Now in my typical day,
Copy !req
258. I come across all sorts of insects...
Copy !req
259. Ants, roaches, mice.
Copy !req
260. "wait, Mr. Duncan,"
you say,
Copy !req
261. "mice aren't insects.
They are..."
Copy !req
262. Anybody?
Copy !req
263. That's right.
They are rodents.
Copy !req
264. Not here to learn.
Copy !req
265. Anyway, I've brought along some animals.
Copy !req
266. That, although I've never
seen them on the job,
Copy !req
267. I could quite possibly catch.
Copy !req
268. If we were living in a different climate.
Copy !req
269. On a different continent.
Copy !req
270. For example...
Copy !req
271. Look at that guy
Ooh!
Copy !req
272. That is an emperor scorpion.
Copy !req
273. Now some people say that its
sting is no worse than a bee's,
Copy !req
274. And others, well, they're
not around to say anything.
Copy !req
275. Ow!
Copy !req
276. I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
Copy !req
277. Hey, you thought that was cool, huh?
Copy !req
278. Wait until you check out this guy.
Copy !req
279. Whoa.
Copy !req
280. Look at him, huh?
Copy !req
281. This is a corn snake.
Copy !req
282. Pretty cool, huh?
That's my dad.
Copy !req
283. Hello, everybody, welcome to story time.
Copy !req
284. My name is Teddy, and today
we have a special treat.
Copy !req
285. You're gonna hear two stories.
Copy !req
286. The first one is written
by me, and it's called.
Copy !req
287. "Tim can and his
amazing journey."
Copy !req
288. Tin can?
Copy !req
289. Tim. Tim can.
Copy !req
290. All right, now before we begin,
Copy !req
291. Just a reminder, as of today,
Copy !req
292. This story has not been published.
Copy !req
293. Okay. "Once upon a time,
there was a little can of soup.
Copy !req
294. And his name was Tim.
Copy !req
295. Tim lived at the grocery store hoping
someday someone would buy him.
Copy !req
296. One day a nice woman did.
Copy !req
297. "Her name was Candace."
Copy !req
298. Oh! Hey!
That's your name.
Copy !req
299. That's funny.
Okay.
Copy !req
300. "Candace took Tim home,"
Copy !req
301. Poured his soup in a pot,
Copy !req
302. Then tossed him in the recycling bin.
Copy !req
303. "Tim was sad. 'Is that all there is?
' he wondered."
Copy !req
304. That's what I'm wondering.
Copy !req
305. Poor plumber, having to follow me.
Copy !req
306. I guess somebody had to go on
after Elvis, right?
Copy !req
307. You did great, dad, and more importantly,
Copy !req
308. - So did your belt.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
309. Gabe, your old man
wasn't gonna let you down.
Copy !req
310. Have you seen the scorpion?
Copy !req
311. - What? You lost a scorp...
- Wait wait wait wait.
Copy !req
312. Let's just find it quietly by ourselves.
Copy !req
313. All right.
Scorpions aren't poisonous, right?
Copy !req
314. How should I know?
I just rented it this morning.
Copy !req
315. I thought I saw something on tv that
said a scorpion can paralyze you.
Copy !req
316. That might have been
a nice thing to mention.
Copy !req
317. Before I let it walk on me.
Copy !req
318. I think they found it.
Copy !req
319. "and after Tim had been
recycled into Tim pie plate."
Copy !req
320. And Tim aluminum foil,
Copy !req
321. He went back to being Tim can.
Copy !req
322. "And lived happily ever after.
The end."
Copy !req
323. Yay!
Copy !req
324. Well, kids, wasn't that better
than "cheesy and pepe pizza"?
Copy !req
325. Yeah!
Copy !req
326. Hey, kids,
here comes trashy!
Copy !req
327. Hey, everybody,
Copy !req
328. I'm trashy the trash can.
Copy !req
329. But I'm not just any trash can.
Copy !req
330. No, I'm a trash can that gives out candy.
Copy !req
331. Whoo!
Copy !req
332. And the best part about trashy.
Copy !req
333. Is that he has magical powers.
Copy !req
334. So that he never runs out of candy.
Copy !req
335. Yeah, eat it up.
Yeah, eat it up.
Copy !req
336. And that's the story of trashy
the trash can. The end.
Copy !req
337. That's not a story.
Copy !req
338. You're just throwing candy at the kids
so they'll like your book better.
Copy !req
339. Well, let's see if it works.
Who likes trashy better than Tim can?
Copy !req
340. - Me! - Ooh ooh ooh!
Yeah yeah!
Copy !req
341. Mm-hmm.
- Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
342. Well, I forgot to tell you
one thing about Tim can.
Copy !req
343. He is gonna take all
of you kids in the library.
Copy !req
344. Out for ice cream.
Copy !req
345. Okay, everybody repeat after me.
Copy !req
346. Trashy! Trashy! Trashy!
Copy !req
347. - Tim can! Tim can! Tim can!
- Trashy! Trashy! Trashy!
Copy !req
348. Oh, Candace, do you wanna buy my story?
Copy !req
349. Or do you wanna buy story?
Copy !req
350. What I want is to find
a new library for story time.
Copy !req
351. Great. What am I supposed
to do with 500 of these?
Copy !req
352. And what seems to be the problem tonight?
Copy !req
353. There's no problem.
Everything's great.
Copy !req
354. Aren't we past this?
Let's dive in.
Copy !req
355. No, seriously, we're fine.
Copy !req
356. We worked out all our issues.
Copy !req
357. Then why'd you order chicken?
Copy !req
358. Because we're hungry.
Copy !req
359. But if you guys are fine,
Copy !req
360. Then I'm just the chicken guy.
Copy !req
361. Pretty much.
Copy !req
362. Thanks.
Copy !req
363. Keep the change.
Copy !req
364. I'll be back!
Copy !req
365. I forgot your sides.
Copy !req
366. Gabe.
Copy !req
367. Can I talk to you for a minute?
Copy !req
368. Kinda busy with my string cheese.
Copy !req
369. Buddy, I'm really sorry about today.
Copy !req
370. All you asked me to do
was not embarrass you.
Copy !req
371. And that's exactly what I did.
Copy !req
372. Dad, you didn't embarrass me.
Copy !req
373. Thanks to you, everybody loves me.
Copy !req
374. What?
Copy !req
375. Yeah, after the scorpion stung
you, and then you passed out,
Copy !req
376. And then Mr. Turtlebaum tried
to suck the poison out of you.
Copy !req
377. And then he passed out.
Copy !req
378. What?
Copy !req
379. In all the confusion, the snake got loose.
Copy !req
380. Yeah, backup.
Turtlebaum did what?
Copy !req
381. And then while you were at the hospital,
Copy !req
382. The fire department came and the whole
school was evacuated for the day.
Copy !req
383. I am a hero because of you.
Copy !req
384. Thanks, dad.
Copy !req
385. Now I'm gonna need an answer
on that turtlebaum question.
Copy !req
386. Well, Charlie, needless to say,
Copy !req
387. I'm still unpublished,
Copy !req
388. But the good news is so is mom.
Copy !req
389. I think we learned a very important lesson.
Copy !req
390. I look good even in a trash can.
Copy !req
391. Well, that's one of the lessons.
Copy !req
392. - So...
- I just feel so empty,
Copy !req
393. So abandoned.
Copy !req
394. I guess it'd be safe to say I feel used.
Copy !req
395. You know what I'm saying?
Copy !req
396. Been here for 10 minutes.
Copy !req
397. Pay him already.
Copy !req
398. Hey, see you tomorrow?
Copy !req
399. Sometimes there's nothing left to say but good luck, Charlie.
Copy !req
400. Poor me.
Copy !req
401. I don't have any toppings,
Copy !req
402. Just cheese.
Copy !req
403. You're a loser, cheesy.
Copy !req
404. Look at me, all covered in pepperoni.
Copy !req
405. There must be something good
about being so plain.
Copy !req
406. Oh yeah, when you think of it, let me know.
Copy !req
407. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
408. Plain old cheese or delicious pepperoni?
Copy !req
409. No!
Copy !req
410. Huh, I guess there is something good.
Copy !req
411. About being plain.
Copy !req
412. It'd be a shame to leave just one.
Copy !req
413. I was afraid of that.
