1. Okay, I'm at my
turnaround point.
Copy !req
2. M y breathing has
just turned labored.
Copy !req
3. Just a little further, Bobby.
Copy !req
4. Flora, unexceptional.
Copy !req
5. Fauna, one box turtle.
Copy !req
6. I'm sorry, Hank.
Copy !req
7. This will not make my article
Copy !req
8. of "Arlen's Unforgettable Hikes
You Can Not Afford To Miss."
Copy !req
9. But we haven't gotten
to the best part yet.
Copy !req
10. Wait till you see the
Teakettle of the Mount.
Copy !req
11. For years, this
miracle of erosion
Copy !req
12. has been a symbol of Arlen.
Copy !req
13. Now, I know what
you'll be thinking.
Copy !req
14. Could Mother Nature carve a
hill to look just like a teakettle,
Copy !req
15. or did early man help her out?
Copy !req
16. Well, that's part
of the fun of...
Copy !req
17. Hey, look!
Copy !req
18. We're passing a dump!
Copy !req
19. The Teakettle!
Copy !req
20. And the graffiti!
Copy !req
21. You know, if the Class
of '02 really "ruled,"
Copy !req
22. they wouldn't need
to write it on a rock.
Copy !req
23. You know what we need to do!
Copy !req
24. We need to march right up
there and clean up the Teakettle
Copy !req
25. and then march right back
down and clean my bathroom!
Copy !req
26. I say, since alien explorers
constructed the Teakettle,
Copy !req
27. it's their job to maintain it.
Copy !req
28. We can't wait
for alien explorers
Copy !req
29. to solve all our problems, Dale.
Copy !req
30. I'm going to the Mayor
and demand action.
Copy !req
31. Bah.
Copy !req
32. That Mayor is a shell,
Copy !req
33. a mere husk of a man.
Copy !req
34. The real power is with
that new City Manager.
Copy !req
35. He tells the Mayor when
to jump and how high
Copy !req
36. and often where to land.
Copy !req
37. Is that the guy
Copy !req
38. who turned the hoses
on the street musicians?
Copy !req
39. Good man.
Copy !req
40. That's my dad and me
Copy !req
41. in front of the Teakettle.
Copy !req
42. I'm, uh, pretending
I'm a teakettle.
Copy !req
43. So how quickly you think
Copy !req
44. you can get a crew up there?
Copy !req
45. It's about 3:30 right now.
Copy !req
46. Hank, I wish I had the
money to clean your rock.
Copy !req
47. Heck, I wish I had the money
Copy !req
48. to pipe hot fudge into
every house in Arlen.
Copy !req
49. Who's talking about that?
Copy !req
50. But I was hired away
from Henrietta, Oklahoma,
Copy !req
51. to get Arlen's financial
house in order.
Copy !req
52. Now, should I spend
the town's limited funds
Copy !req
53. on fire engines and police cars
Copy !req
54. or on helping you
recapture your childhood?
Copy !req
55. Well, I never said I...
Copy !req
56. Excuse me.
Copy !req
57. Mr. Gilbert, I am a member
Copy !req
58. of either the fourth
or fifth estate,
Copy !req
59. the journalistic community.
Copy !req
60. How would you like
Copy !req
61. the Arlen Bystander's
endorsement next election?
Copy !req
62. I'm appointed, not elected.
Copy !req
63. Oh.
Copy !req
64. How would you like to
get a recipe published?
Copy !req
65. Folks, if you'll excuse me,
Copy !req
66. Henrietta, Oklahoma,
didn't turn itself around,
Copy !req
67. and neither will Arlen.
Copy !req
68. Mister, you are just
asking for a letter.
Copy !req
69. I am not gonna let this go!
Copy !req
70. If the city won't help me
clean up the Teakettle,
Copy !req
71. I'll clean it up myself!
Copy !req
72. And I will cover your
story in the Bystander!
Copy !req
73. I'll rally hundreds
of affluent, active,
Copy !req
74. slightly elderly readers.
Copy !req
75. Hey, maybe you can write
Copy !req
76. something about the
Teakettle's history...
Copy !req
77. Show everyone
why it's so important.
Copy !req
78. You fight the impossible fight.
Copy !req
79. I will make it important.
Copy !req
80. Teakettle, eh?
Copy !req
81. Someone jump from it?
Copy !req
82. No.
Copy !req
83. Hmm... Helicopter smash into it?
Copy !req
84. No.
Copy !req
85. Well, a word of advice
from one scribe to another:
Copy !req
86. Our readers like
stories they like to read.
Copy !req
87. The Teakettle's a loser.
Copy !req
88. Abandon ship.
Copy !req
89. I worked all day
Copy !req
90. and barely
scratched the surface.
Copy !req
91. Oh, don't give up hope.
Copy !req
92. It turns out that the kettle
Copy !req
93. was a big name draw in its day.
Copy !req
94. President Garfield was
here before his assassination.
Copy !req
95. And look... the Texas
Rangers built a fort next to it!
Copy !req
96. There is the 1884 Notre
Dame football team...
Copy !req
97. and Mark Twain...
Copy !req
98. Wow, the Texas
Rangers and Mark Twain!
Copy !req
99. Our little Teakettle, huh?
Copy !req
100. And there's more!
Copy !req
101. Arlen used to be
called "Harlen,"
Copy !req
102. but over the years
the "H" was dropped.
Copy !req
103. Maybe someday Houston
will become Ouston.
Copy !req
104. Who are these ladies?
Copy !req
105. You are not gonna believe this,
Copy !req
106. but Arlen was founded by women!
Copy !req
107. This one lady here
Copy !req
108. owned the largest
pork ranchero in town,
Copy !req
109. and this one was one of the
Governor's closest advisors.
Copy !req
110. Well, keep digging, Peggy.
Copy !req
111. This is the kind
of gold we need.
Copy !req
112. Oh, I'll dig all right, Hank.
Copy !req
113. M y brain is a shovel.
Copy !req
114. Bob, these archives
only go back to 1870.
Copy !req
115. Where are the earliest
issues of the Bystander kept?
Copy !req
116. Couldn't say.
Copy !req
117. There is an old closet
in the break room.
Copy !req
118. But it's sealed off
Copy !req
119. by the fridge.
Copy !req
120. Too bad.
Copy !req
121. Looks like your
story ends there.
Copy !req
122. It wouldn't be work, Bobby.
Copy !req
123. It would be a "work party."
Copy !req
124. You and your friends would be
Copy !req
125. scrubbing the Teakettle,
Copy !req
126. but you'd also be
listening to the radio
Copy !req
127. and taking short breaks.
Copy !req
128. Let me tell you what I like
Copy !req
129. and don't like about that idea.
Copy !req
130. Hill residence.
Copy !req
131. Meet me at the Bystander. Now!
Copy !req
132. What's going on, Peggy?
Copy !req
133. Did someone put a
possum in your desk again?
Copy !req
134. Hank, dignitaries and
Notre Dame athletes
Copy !req
135. never came to Arlen
to see the Teakettle.
Copy !req
136. Well, of course they did.
Copy !req
137. You showed me the pictures!
Copy !req
138. That was a
convenient cover story.
Copy !req
139. The real attraction was
something far different.
Copy !req
140. Hank, before Arlen was
Harlen, it was called...
Copy !req
141. "Harlottown?"
Copy !req
142. What does that mean?
Copy !req
143. Harlot town. Town of harlots.
Copy !req
144. Call girls, molls, pink
pants... prostitutes.
Copy !req
145. Our beloved Arlen began life
Copy !req
146. as the most notorious
brothel in Texas.
Copy !req
147. What?
Copy !req
148. "Harlottown" became "Harlen"
Copy !req
149. because people were in
such a rush to get here,
Copy !req
150. they didn't have time
to say "Harlottown."
Copy !req
151. But the Texas Rangers...
Copy !req
152. They were johns, Hank.
Copy !req
153. I know this is hard.
Copy !req
154. Maybe this Katzenjammer Kids
comic will give you a chuckle.
Copy !req
155. I can't believe they're...
Copy !req
156. How could they even find
11 women who would do that?
Copy !req
157. My research shows
that Arlen started off
Copy !req
158. as a watering hole
on the Chisholm Trail.
Copy !req
159. Some enterprising women
invested in a tent and a cot
Copy !req
160. and Harlottown was born.
Copy !req
161. Great reporting, Peggy.
Copy !req
162. Let's get all your
notes in one place
Copy !req
163. and I'll fire up the grill.
Copy !req
164. Hank, you are not burning
my story on the patio.
Copy !req
165. I am a journalist, and
I will not kill a story
Copy !req
166. because it's unpleasant.
Copy !req
167. Sooner or later, the sun is
gonna crash into the Earth.
Copy !req
168. And if I survive it will
be m y duty to report it.
Copy !req
169. You can't tell the town
it was conceived in sin.
Copy !req
170. I have to.
Copy !req
171. Now if you will excuse
me, I am on deadline.
Copy !req
172. "Even with a thousand head
of cattle to keep them company,
Copy !req
173. cowboys would get lonely..."
Copy !req
174. "During the 19th century,
the Teakettle was so popular
Copy !req
175. "that when a gentleman went
to sample a harlot's wares,
Copy !req
176. it was said that he
had gone 'teakettling."'
Copy !req
177. If I'd been around back then,
Copy !req
178. maybe I would have rescued
one of those teakettling ladies,
Copy !req
179. and she would have been grateful
Copy !req
180. and lived on a farm
with me for a few years
Copy !req
181. till she ran away with
a traveling preacher.
Copy !req
182. Dad, the City Manager
is on the phone.
Copy !req
183. He wants you and
Mom in his office ASAP.
Copy !req
184. I want to apologize
Copy !req
185. for my wife... She
made a mistake.
Copy !req
186. How about she
publishes a retraction,
Copy !req
187. does a couple of jury duties
Copy !req
188. and we forget this
ever happened?
Copy !req
189. There was no mistake.
Copy !req
190. I don't care if you
throw me in jail,
Copy !req
191. I am not revealing my sources.
Copy !req
192. Aren't your sources just
old newspaper clippings?
Copy !req
193. I will neither confirm nor deny.
Copy !req
194. No, you don't understand,
I loved your article.
Copy !req
195. It got me thinking,
Copy !req
196. we should clean
up the Teakettle,
Copy !req
197. share our town's colorful
history with the world.
Copy !req
198. What?
Copy !req
199. Maybe I'm missing
something here,
Copy !req
200. but if we tell people we
were founded by prostitutes,
Copy !req
201. they'll know.
Copy !req
202. That was over a
hundred years ago.
Copy !req
203. When people look back on...
Copy !req
204. Wait, I have an
equation to explain this.
Copy !req
205. Scandal plus time
Copy !req
206. equals tourist dollars.
Copy !req
207. Look at Salem, Massachusetts.
Copy !req
208. Almost everyone thinks
burning witches is bad now,
Copy !req
209. but Salem is using
their unique past
Copy !req
210. to bring in tourist dollars.
Copy !req
211. I've been there, Hank.
Copy !req
212. They have a sewer
system par excellence.
Copy !req
213. Plus it's educational.
Copy !req
214. Hank, if we do not
learn from the past
Copy !req
215. what's the point of
even having one?
Copy !req
216. That's going in the brochure.
Copy !req
217. Hank, it is really no big deal.
Copy !req
218. I mean, you never objected
to Miss Kitty on Gunsmoke.
Copy !req
219. What about her?
Copy !req
220. Come on, they had all
those rooms upstairs,
Copy !req
221. she didn't charge
enough for drinks.
Copy !req
222. Not Miss Kitty...
Copy !req
223. Dad, what did the men do all day
Copy !req
224. when the women
were out prostituting?
Copy !req
225. Aah!
Copy !req
226. Did your mother
write another article?
Copy !req
227. No, it's my history homework.
Copy !req
228. Hank Hill! Kahn Jr. Just ask me
Copy !req
229. how much hugs cost in 1870.
Copy !req
230. This your wife
Peggy Hill's fault.
Copy !req
231. The kind of thing
we should cover up,
Copy !req
232. not teach our kids.
Copy !req
233. You don't have to tell me.
Copy !req
234. Peggy.
Copy !req
235. She's not home, Dad.
Copy !req
236. She's at some committee
meeting for the Teakettle.
Copy !req
237. Oh, God, now's
there's a committee?
Copy !req
238. That's the last step
before a task force.
Copy !req
239. I got to get down there.
Copy !req
240. I go with you.
Copy !req
241. We really tear into Peggy
Hill and those other pervs.
Copy !req
242. I'm going to Harlottown
Copy !req
243. Where the gals treat a gent
with two dimes like a king
Copy !req
244. Yes, Harlottown
Copy !req
245. Where you only have to
ask to get most everything.
Copy !req
246. This is fantastic.
Copy !req
247. Look at all these treasures.
Copy !req
248. Oh, it would be a crime
Copy !req
249. if we didn't put them
on display somewhere.
Copy !req
250. Are you talking the main
glass case at the central library?
Copy !req
251. Bigger. I'm talking
about a museum.
Copy !req
252. Our very own historical museum.
Copy !req
253. The Arlen Heritage Museum.
Copy !req
254. What could be more
educational than that?
Copy !req
255. Yeah. Museum sounds classy.
Copy !req
256. You haven't voted yet, have you?
Copy !req
257. Because we vote "nay."
Copy !req
258. Careful, Hank.
Copy !req
259. That is an important artifact
Copy !req
260. for the Arlen Heritage Museum.
Copy !req
261. " 25 cents, deluxe
four dollars"?
Copy !req
262. Oh, God.
Copy !req
263. What you people doing?
Copy !req
264. I didn't move out of
cesspool of Anaheim
Copy !req
265. to let you wreck
this little town.
Copy !req
266. Kahn, you surprise me.
Copy !req
267. I thought you were the
more sophisticated type.
Copy !req
268. Huh? Uh, oh...
Copy !req
269. Oh, Ted, I not see you there.
Copy !req
270. I... uh...
Copy !req
271. Oh, this the kind of stuff
you talking about for museum.
Copy !req
272. Oh... very progressive.
Copy !req
273. I'm in.
Copy !req
274. Instead of teaching
this stuff to our kids
Copy !req
275. and building a museum of shame,
Copy !req
276. why don't we celebrate
Copy !req
277. the things our
town is proud of...
Copy !req
278. The Arlen Soldier
and Sailor's Home,
Copy !req
279. the petrified wood collection...
Copy !req
280. That will all be
there, too, Hank,
Copy !req
281. but the founding
mothers are the money.
Copy !req
282. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
283. Okay, then,
Copy !req
284. it seems like just
about everybody
Copy !req
285. wants to move forward on this.
Copy !req
286. The question is, "What's
the best way to tell the world
Copy !req
287. about Arlen's rebirth?"
Copy !req
288. What if we renamed the
upcoming Arlen Days Festival
Copy !req
289. "Harlottown Days?"
Copy !req
290. I would be willing to
dress up like a sheriff.
Copy !req
291. I'll be your deputy.
Copy !req
292. Sign a petition and get
a free gift: a clean town.
Copy !req
293. You know what I
like about you, Hank?
Copy !req
294. You don't care how
unpopular your ideas are.
Copy !req
295. Unpopular, huh?
Copy !req
296. Well, Mr. Coyle here
happens to agree with me
Copy !req
297. that we don't need this museum.
Copy !req
298. Oh. I thought this petition
was in favor of the museum.
Copy !req
299. I can't wait for
Harlottown Days.
Copy !req
300. Save Arlen's virtue!
Copy !req
301. Hey, Sheriff Ted,
Copy !req
302. maybe we should arrest Hank
for disorderly fuddy-duddiness.
Copy !req
303. Hey, Hank, look.
Copy !req
304. I'm proposing
Copy !req
305. this is what all the
tour guides will wear.
Copy !req
306. Is everyone having fun?
Copy !req
307. Harlottown Days has
been a smashing success.
Copy !req
308. Everything is on
track to make Arlen
Copy !req
309. not just a tourist
stop, but a destination.
Copy !req
310. That means lower
taxes, new street signs,
Copy !req
311. fire trucks and police cars.
Copy !req
312. And it's all going to begin
right here in the center of town
Copy !req
313. where we're going to
convert the musty old
Copy !req
314. Soldier and Sailor's Home
Copy !req
315. into the new Arlen
Museum of Prostitution!
Copy !req
316. "Why don't you come
up and see us sometime?"
Copy !req
317. Arlen Museum
of... Well, I don't...
Copy !req
318. An erotic bakery?
Copy !req
319. A gentlemen's reading Room?
Copy !req
320. Where's the crafts wing?
Copy !req
321. Where's the empowerment exhibit?
Copy !req
322. And now
Copy !req
323. the big news:
Copy !req
324. Apparently the "secret" of
our little town has gotten out,
Copy !req
325. and Arlen is the new home of
the Texas Adult Video Awards.
Copy !req
326. Adult video?
Copy !req
327. Oh, God.
Copy !req
328. As we speak, they are
rolling out the red carpet
Copy !req
329. at the Arlen Junior
College Auditorium
Copy !req
330. for the Adult
World's shiniest stars.
Copy !req
331. I should have just
let history stay buried.
Copy !req
332. I should have
stuck to my old beat
Copy !req
333. of reviewing pancake houses.
Copy !req
334. Yeah, well, you
were good at that.
Copy !req
335. Let's get going.
Copy !req
336. The porn people
Copy !req
337. will be hitting town any moment.
Copy !req
338. Why are we going to Durndle?
Copy !req
339. No offense, Dad, but you're not
Copy !req
340. a let's-just-go-to-Durndle
kind of guy.
Copy !req
341. Uh, I just thought it'd
be nice to get out of town.
Copy !req
342. Looks like a breakdown...
Copy !req
343. It's some of...
Copy !req
344. them.
Copy !req
345. Now, we shouldn't jump to...
Copy !req
346. Oh, God,
Copy !req
347. a sport jacket with no shirt.
Copy !req
348. Well, maybe they
are... that way,
Copy !req
349. but they're also
disabled motorists.
Copy !req
350. We have a duty.
Copy !req
351. Peggy, watch the boy.
Copy !req
352. What's the problem, Randy?
Copy !req
353. We did a whole
movie about a flat tire!
Copy !req
354. I'm trying, okay?
Copy !req
355. Uh, you folks need a hand?
Copy !req
356. Hey, this part happened
in the movie, too.
Copy !req
357. Thank you.
Copy !req
358. I cannot be late tonight.
Copy !req
359. I'm getting a lifetime
achievement award.
Copy !req
360. Well, congratulations,
I suppose.
Copy !req
361. You do know your
transmission is shot, right?
Copy !req
362. Uh, can we borrow
your transmission?
Copy !req
363. I mean, just for tonight?
Copy !req
364. Just get in the truck.
Copy !req
365. I guess we can drop you
off at your awards show.
Copy !req
366. Hank, what are you doing?
Copy !req
367. Peggy, they tried to fix their
engine by changing the tire.
Copy !req
368. They'll die out here.
Copy !req
369. Wow! A real limo.
Copy !req
370. I wish I could
have ridden in that.
Copy !req
371. You ever been in one, Mom?
Copy !req
372. Have I! If I had attended
my prom, certainly.
Copy !req
373. So how did you folks
get into the movies?
Copy !req
374. Hank? Bobby?
Copy !req
375. Hi, John Redcorn.
Copy !req
376. Were you heading someplace?
Copy !req
377. I have a gala.
Copy !req
378. Well, I was hoping you
could look after Bobby for a bit.
Copy !req
379. It's kind of important.
Copy !req
380. Would you like an
organic Pop-tart?
Copy !req
381. You've sure got a
lot less pawn shops
Copy !req
382. than where we usually
have these things.
Copy !req
383. What's that?
Copy !req
384. That's the old
Arlen water tower.
Copy !req
385. It sure is beautiful.
Copy !req
386. Beautiful and it has more rivets
Copy !req
387. than any structure
in Central Texas.
Copy !req
388. You know, I grew up in a
small town just like Arlen.
Copy !req
389. Of course, I can never go back.
Copy !req
390. Well, you still
have your... career?
Copy !req
391. Hobby?
Copy !req
392. Career?
Copy !req
393. Actually the lifetime
achievement award
Copy !req
394. is more of a kiss-off.
Copy !req
395. It's like the industry's saying,
Copy !req
396. "Thanks for the 400 movies,
Copy !req
397. we're real tired of
seeing you do it."
Copy !req
398. Uh... right.
Copy !req
399. So, you're out of the business.
Copy !req
400. What's next for Candee?
Copy !req
401. Well, I used to dream of
having my own little shop
Copy !req
402. selling baby jewelry
or sparkly tennis shoes.
Copy !req
403. But who would
want to buy that stuff
Copy !req
404. from someone with my past?
Copy !req
405. You know, Candee, the
women who started this town
Copy !req
406. were of, uh, similar repute.
Copy !req
407. But the moment they had
a chance to quit, they did.
Copy !req
408. Look, that granary was built
Copy !req
409. by our founding mothers.
Copy !req
410. And that pork processing plant.
Copy !req
411. I thought places like this
only existed in the movies.
Copy !req
412. Not my movies.
Copy !req
413. Yeah, well, thanks to
our new city manager,
Copy !req
414. and your awards show, and
the Museum of Prostitution,
Copy !req
415. it's pretty much never
going to be the same.
Copy !req
416. This is wrong, Hank.
Copy !req
417. And believe me, I know wrong.
Copy !req
418. There has to be
something we can do.
Copy !req
419. Candee, where were you?
Copy !req
420. We almost gave the
lifetime achievement award
Copy !req
421. to someone else.
Copy !req
422. Do you know your lines, Hank?
Copy !req
423. Yep.
Copy !req
424. These decorations look
tacky and inappropriate.
Copy !req
425. Yeah, when I played
this out in my head,
Copy !req
426. things looked a lot better.
Copy !req
427. Especially the people.
Copy !req
428. Good evening, everyone.
Copy !req
429. Today marks the beginning
of a special relationship
Copy !req
430. between Arlen and
the adult film industry.
Copy !req
431. So, welcome, Texas
Adult Video Awards,
Copy !req
432. to Arlen.
Copy !req
433. "Come up and see us sometime!"
Copy !req
434. And now,
Copy !req
435. the stars come out.
Copy !req
436. The recipient of the
Lifetime Achievement Award,
Copy !req
437. Candee Lace.
Copy !req
438. Thank you, everyone.
Copy !req
439. I want you all to meet the
man who made it possible
Copy !req
440. for me to be here
tonight, Hank Hill.
Copy !req
441. Hank?
Copy !req
442. Who's he?
Copy !req
443. Is that her first director?
Copy !req
444. No, that would be
Nicholas Ruggles.
Copy !req
445. You all know I've played
a lot of love scenes
Copy !req
446. in the movies,
Copy !req
447. but today I fell head
over heels for real.
Copy !req
448. I'm announcing my retirement
from the adult film business
Copy !req
449. so I can be
Copy !req
450. with my true love... Arlen.
Copy !req
451. No offense, guys,
Copy !req
452. but I don't want this
kind of smut in my town.
Copy !req
453. We have a choice to make.
Copy !req
454. Which version of
Arlen do we want?
Copy !req
455. The uncut, X-rated one
with shocking footage,
Copy !req
456. or the PG one that's grown-up
but still appropriate for kids?
Copy !req
457. Now, who here wants
to sign my petition
Copy !req
458. to turn Harlottown
Copy !req
459. back to Arlen?
Copy !req
460. I do, Hank!
Copy !req
461. Now, who else?
Copy !req
462. Petitions, I've got petitions!
Copy !req
463. Share the pens, people.
Copy !req
464. Let's take a deep
breath, everyone.
Copy !req
465. In my Arlen, there won't
be any parking meters.
Copy !req
466. Property taxes slashed!
Copy !req
467. Free garbage pickup!
Copy !req
468. I'm the candyman.
Copy !req
469. "Arlen, come up and
see us sometime."
Copy !req
470. "Arlen, come up and
see us sometime!"
Copy !req
471. Huh, kind of puts a new
complexion on things
Copy !req
472. when sleazy people
think we're too sleazy.
Copy !req
473. You know, I was
Copy !req
474. the first person to come
to Hank Hill's side on this.
Copy !req
475. Thank you, Mayor.
Copy !req
476. Looks like decency isn't so
unpopular after all, eh, Vance?
Copy !req
477. Wow. She really cleaned up nice.
Copy !req
478. "In 1902 Mark Twain
stood on this very spot
Copy !req
479. and remarked on
Arlen's natural beauty."
Copy !req
480. Dad, this was
almost worth the hike.
Copy !req
481. I don't want to take
my eyes off of it.
Copy !req
482. I don't know how to thank
you for everything, Hank.
Copy !req
483. Can I get you
another pair of shoes?
Copy !req
484. No, no. These are fine.
Copy !req
485. Fine? They're great!
Copy !req
486. I have a gala.
Copy !req
