1. Okay, I'm at my
turnaround point.
Copy !req
2. My 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 go
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. My 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 scrubbing
the Teakettle,
Copy !req
125. but you'd also be listening
to the radio
Copy !req
126. and taking short breaks.
Copy !req
127. Let me tell you
what I like
Copy !req
128. and don't like
about that idea.
Copy !req
129. Hill residence.
Copy !req
130. Meet me at the Bystander.
Now!
Copy !req
131. What's going on, Peggy?
Copy !req
132. Did someone put a possum
in your desk again?
Copy !req
133. Hank, dignitaries
and Notre Dame athletes
Copy !req
134. never came to Arlen
to see the Teakettle.
Copy !req
135. Well, of course
they did.
Copy !req
136. You showed me
the pictures!
Copy !req
137. That was a convenient
cover story.
Copy !req
138. The real attraction
was something far different.
Copy !req
139. Hank, before Arlen was
Harlen, it was called...
Copy !req
140. "Harlottown?"
Copy !req
141. What does that mean?
Copy !req
142. Harlot town.
Town of harlots.
Copy !req
143. Call girls, molls, pink
pants— prostitutes.
Copy !req
144. Our beloved Arlen
began life
Copy !req
145. as the most notorious
brothel in Texas.
Copy !req
146. What?
Copy !req
147. "Harlottown"
became "Harlen"
Copy !req
148. because people were in
such a rush to get here,
Copy !req
149. they didn't have time
to say "Harlottown."
Copy !req
150. But the Texas Rangers...
Copy !req
151. They were johns, Hank.
Copy !req
152. I know this is hard.
Copy !req
153. Maybe this Katzenjammer Kids
comic will give you a chuckle.
Copy !req
154. I can't believe they're...
Copy !req
155. How could they even find
11 women who would do that?
Copy !req
156. My research shows
that Arlen started off
Copy !req
157. as a watering hole
on the Chisholm Trail.
Copy !req
158. Some enterprising women
invested in a tent and a cot
Copy !req
159. and Harlottown was born.
Copy !req
160. Great reporting, Peggy.
Copy !req
161. Let's get all your
notes in one place
Copy !req
162. and I'll fire up the grill.
Copy !req
163. Hank, you are not burning
my story on the patio.
Copy !req
164. I am a journalist,
and I will not kill a story
Copy !req
165. because it's unpleasant.
Copy !req
166. Sooner or later,
the sun is gonna
crash into the Earth.
Copy !req
167. And if I survive,
it will be my duty
to report it.
Copy !req
168. You can't tell the town
it was conceived in sin.
Copy !req
169. I have to.
Copy !req
170. Now if you will excuse me,
I am on deadline.
Copy !req
171. "Even with a thousand
head of cattle to
keep them company,
Copy !req
172. cowboys would
get lonely..."
Copy !req
173. "During the 19th century,
the Teakettle was so popular
Copy !req
174. "that when a gentleman went
to sample a harlot's wares,
Copy !req
175. it was said that he had
gone 'teakettling.'"
Copy !req
176. If I'd been
around back then,
Copy !req
177. maybe I would have rescued
one of those teakettling ladies,
Copy !req
178. and she would have been grateful
Copy !req
179. and lived on a farm with me
for a few years
Copy !req
180. till she ran away
with a traveling preacher.
Copy !req
181. Dad, the City Manager
is on the phone.
Copy !req
182. He wants you and Mom
in his office ASAP.
Copy !req
183. I want to apologize
Copy !req
184. for my wife—
she made a mistake.
Copy !req
185. How about she publishes
a retraction,
Copy !req
186. does a couple of jury duties
Copy !req
187. and we forget
this ever happened?
Copy !req
188. There was no mistake.
Copy !req
189. I don't care
if you throw me in jail,
Copy !req
190. I am not revealing
my sources.
Copy !req
191. Aren't your sources
just old newspaper clippings?
Copy !req
192. I will neither confirm
nor deny.
Copy !req
193. No, you don't understand,
I loved your article.
Copy !req
194. It got me thinking,
Copy !req
195. we should clean up
the Teakettle,
Copy !req
196. share our town's colorful
history with the world.
Copy !req
197. What?
Copy !req
198. Maybe I'm missing
something here,
Copy !req
199. but if we tell people
we were founded
by prostitutes,
Copy !req
200. they'll know.
Copy !req
201. That was over
a hundred years ago.
Copy !req
202. When people look back on—
Copy !req
203. Wait, I have an equation
to explain this.
Copy !req
204. Scandal plus time
Copy !req
205. equals tourist dollars.
Copy !req
206. Look at Salem, Massachusetts.
Copy !req
207. Almost everyone thinks
burning witches is bad now,
Copy !req
208. but Salem is using
their unique past
Copy !req
209. to bring in tourist dollars.
Copy !req
210. I've been there, Hank.
Copy !req
211. They have a sewer system
par excellence.
Copy !req
212. Plus it's educational.
Copy !req
213. Hank, if we do not learn
from the past
Copy !req
214. what's the point
of even having one?
Copy !req
215. That's going in
the brochure.
Copy !req
216. Hank, it is really no big deal.
Copy !req
217. I mean, you never objected
to Miss Kitty on Gunsmoke.
Copy !req
218. What about her?
Copy !req
219. Come on, they had
all those rooms upstairs,
Copy !req
220. she didn't charge
enough for drinks.
Copy !req
221. Not Miss Kitty...
Copy !req
222. Dad, what did
the men do all day
Copy !req
223. when the women were
out prostituting?
Copy !req
224. Aah!
Copy !req
225. Did your mother
write another article?
Copy !req
226. No, it's my history homework.
Copy !req
227. Hank Hill! Kahn Jr.
just ask me
Copy !req
228. how much hugs cost
in 1870.
Copy !req
229. This your wife
Peggy Hill's fault.
Copy !req
230. The kind of thing
we should cover up,
Copy !req
231. not teach our kids.
Copy !req
232. You don't have to tell me.
Copy !req
233. Peggy.
Copy !req
234. She's not home, Dad.
Copy !req
235. She's at some committee
meeting for the Teakettle.
Copy !req
236. Oh, God, now's there's
a committee?
Copy !req
237. That's the last step
before a task force.
Copy !req
238. I got to get down there.
Copy !req
239. I go with you.
Copy !req
240. We really tear into Peggy Hill
and those other pervs.
Copy !req
241. This is fantastic.
Copy !req
242. Look at all these treasures.
Copy !req
243. Oh, it would be a crime
Copy !req
244. if we didn't put them
on display somewhere.
Copy !req
245. Are you talking the main glass
case at the central library?
Copy !req
246. Bigger.
I'm talking about a museum.
Copy !req
247. Our very own
historical museum.
Copy !req
248. The Arlen Heritage Museum.
Copy !req
249. What could be more
educational than that?
Copy !req
250. Yeah. Museum
sounds classy.
Copy !req
251. You haven't voted
yet, have you?
Copy !req
252. Because we vote "nay."
Copy !req
253. Careful, Hank.
Copy !req
254. That is an important artifact
Copy !req
255. for the Arlen Heritage Museum.
Copy !req
256. " 25 cents,
deluxe shave: four dollars"?
Copy !req
257. Oh, God.
Copy !req
258. What you people doing?
Copy !req
259. I didn't move out of
cesspool of Anaheim
Copy !req
260. to let you wreck
this little town.
Copy !req
261. Kahn, you surprise me.
Copy !req
262. I thought you were
the more sophisticated type.
Copy !req
263. Huh? Uh, oh...
Copy !req
264. Oh, Ted, I not
see you there.
Copy !req
265. I... uh...
Copy !req
266. Oh, this the kind of stuff
you talking about for museum.
Copy !req
267. Oh... very progressive.
Copy !req
268. I'm in.
Copy !req
269. Instead of teaching
this stuff to our kids
Copy !req
270. and building a museum
of shame,
Copy !req
271. why don't we celebrate
Copy !req
272. the things our town
is proud of—
Copy !req
273. the Arlen Soldier
and Sailor's Home,
Copy !req
274. the petrified wood collection...
Copy !req
275. That will all
be there, too, Hank,
Copy !req
276. but the founding mothers
are the money.
Copy !req
277. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
278. Okay, then,
Copy !req
279. it seems like
just about everybody
Copy !req
280. wants to move forward on this.
Copy !req
281. The question is, "What's the
best way to tell the world
Copy !req
282. about Arlen's rebirth?"
Copy !req
283. What if we renamed
the upcoming Arlen Days Festival
Copy !req
284. "Harlottown Days?"
Copy !req
285. I would be willing
to dress up like a sheriff.
Copy !req
286. I'll be your deputy.
Copy !req
287. Sign a petition and get
a free gift: a clean town.
Copy !req
288. You know what I like
about you, Hank?
Copy !req
289. You don't care how
unpopular your ideas are.
Copy !req
290. Unpopular, huh?
Copy !req
291. Well, Mr. Coyle here
happens to agree with me
Copy !req
292. that we don't need this museum.
Copy !req
293. Oh. I thought this petition
was in favor of the museum.
Copy !req
294. I can't wait
for Harlottown Days.
Copy !req
295. Save Arlen's virtue!
Copy !req
296. Hey, Sheriff Ted,
Copy !req
297. maybe we should arrest Hank
for disorderly fuddy-duddiness.
Copy !req
298. Hey, Hank, look.
Copy !req
299. I'm proposing
Copy !req
300. this is what all
the tour guides will wear.
Copy !req
301. Is everyone having fun?
Copy !req
302. Harlottown Days has been
a smashing success.
Copy !req
303. Everything is on track
to make Arlen
Copy !req
304. not just a tourist stop,
but a destination.
Copy !req
305. That means lower taxes,
new street signs,
Copy !req
306. fire trucks and police cars.
Copy !req
307. And it's all going to begin
right here in the center of town
Copy !req
308. where we're going to convert
the musty old
Copy !req
309. Soldier and Sailor's Home
Copy !req
310. into the new Arlen Museum
of Prostitution!
Copy !req
311. "Why don't you come up
and see us sometime?"
Copy !req
312. Arlen Museum of...
Well, I don't...
Copy !req
313. An erotic bakery?
Copy !req
314. A gentlemen's reading Room?
Copy !req
315. Where's the crafts wing?
Copy !req
316. Where's the empowerment
exhibit?
Copy !req
317. And now
Copy !req
318. the big news:
Copy !req
319. Apparently the "secret" of our
little town has gotten out,
Copy !req
320. and Arlen is the new home
of the Texas Adult Video Awards.
Copy !req
321. Adult video?
Copy !req
322. Oh, God.
Copy !req
323. As we speak, they are rolling
out the red carpet
Copy !req
324. at the Arlen Junior College
Auditorium
Copy !req
325. for the Adult World's
shiniest stars.
Copy !req
326. I should have just
let history stay buried.
Copy !req
327. I should have stuck
to my old beat
Copy !req
328. of reviewing pancake houses.
Copy !req
329. Yeah, well, you
were good at that.
Copy !req
330. Let's get going.
Copy !req
331. The porn people
Copy !req
332. will be hitting
town any moment.
Copy !req
333. Why are we going
to Durndle?
Copy !req
334. No offense, Dad,
but you're not
Copy !req
335. a let's-just-go-to-Durndle
kind of guy.
Copy !req
336. Uh, I just thought it'd be
nice to get out of town.
Copy !req
337. Looks like a breakdown...
Copy !req
338. It's some of...
Copy !req
339. them.
Copy !req
340. Now, we shouldn't jump to...
Copy !req
341. Oh, God,
Copy !req
342. a sport jacket with no shirt.
Copy !req
343. Well, maybe they
are... that way,
Copy !req
344. but they're also
disabled motorists.
Copy !req
345. We have a duty.
Copy !req
346. Peggy, watch the boy.
Copy !req
347. What's the problem, Randy?
Copy !req
348. We did a whole movie
about a flat tire!
Copy !req
349. I'm trying, okay?
Copy !req
350. Uh, you folks need a hand?
Copy !req
351. Hey, this part happened
in the movie, too.
Copy !req
352. Thank you.
Copy !req
353. I cannot be late tonight.
Copy !req
354. I'm getting a lifetime
achievement award.
Copy !req
355. Well, congratulations,
I suppose.
Copy !req
356. You do know your transmission
is shot, right?
Copy !req
357. Uh, can we borrow
your transmission?
Copy !req
358. I mean, just for tonight?
Copy !req
359. Just get in the truck.
Copy !req
360. I guess we can drop you off
at your awards show.
Copy !req
361. Hank, what are
you doing?
Copy !req
362. Peggy, they tried to fix their
engine by changing the tire.
Copy !req
363. They'll die out here.
Copy !req
364. Wow! A real limo.
Copy !req
365. I wish I could have
ridden in that.
Copy !req
366. You ever been
in one, Mom?
Copy !req
367. Have I! If I had attended
my prom, certainly.
Copy !req
368. So how did you folks
get into the movies?
Copy !req
369. Hank? Bobby?
Copy !req
370. Hi, John Redcorn.
Copy !req
371. Were you heading
someplace?
Copy !req
372. I have a gala.
Copy !req
373. Well, I was hoping you could
look after Bobby for a bit.
Copy !req
374. It's kind of important.
Copy !req
375. Would you like
an organic Pop-tart?
Copy !req
376. You've sure got a lot less
pawn shops
Copy !req
377. than where we usually have
these things.
Copy !req
378. What's that?
Copy !req
379. That's the old Arlen
water tower.
Copy !req
380. It sure is beautiful.
Copy !req
381. Beautiful and it has more rivets
Copy !req
382. than any structure
in Central Texas.
Copy !req
383. You know, I grew up
in a small town just like Arlen.
Copy !req
384. Of course, I can
never go back.
Copy !req
385. Well, you still have your...
career?
Copy !req
386. Hobby?
Copy !req
387. Career?
Copy !req
388. Actually the lifetime
achievement award
Copy !req
389. is more of a kiss-off.
Copy !req
390. It's like
the industry's saying,
Copy !req
391. "Thanks for the 400 movies,
Copy !req
392. we're real tired
of seeing you do it."
Copy !req
393. Uh... right.
Copy !req
394. So, you're out
of the business.
Copy !req
395. What's next for Candee?
Copy !req
396. Well, I used to dream of
having my own little shop
Copy !req
397. selling baby jewelry
or sparkly tennis shoes.
Copy !req
398. But who would want
to buy that stuff
Copy !req
399. from someone with my past?
Copy !req
400. You know, Candee,
the women who started this town
Copy !req
401. were of, uh, similar repute.
Copy !req
402. But the moment they had
a chance to quit, they did.
Copy !req
403. Look, that granary was built
Copy !req
404. by our founding mothers.
Copy !req
405. And that pork
processing plant.
Copy !req
406. I thought places like this
only existed in the movies.
Copy !req
407. Not my movies.
Copy !req
408. Yeah, well, thanks
to our new city manager,
Copy !req
409. and your awards show,
and the Museum of Prostitution,
Copy !req
410. it's pretty much never
going to be the same.
Copy !req
411. This is wrong, Hank.
Copy !req
412. And believe me,
I know wrong.
Copy !req
413. There has to be
something we can do.
Copy !req
414. Candee, where were you?
Copy !req
415. We almost gave the lifetime
achievement award
Copy !req
416. to someone else.
Copy !req
417. Do you know
your lines, Hank?
Copy !req
418. Yep.
Copy !req
419. These decorations look
tacky and inappropriate.
Copy !req
420. Yeah, when I played
this out in my head,
Copy !req
421. things looked a lot better.
Copy !req
422. Especially the people.
Copy !req
423. Good evening, everyone.
Copy !req
424. Today marks the beginning
of a special relationship
Copy !req
425. between Arlen and the
adult film industry.
Copy !req
426. So, welcome,
Texas Adult Video Awards,
Copy !req
427. to Arlen.
Copy !req
428. "Come up and see us sometime!"
Copy !req
429. And now,
Copy !req
430. the stars come out.
Copy !req
431. The recipient of the
Lifetime Achievement Award,
Copy !req
432. Candee Lace.
Copy !req
433. Thank you, everyone.
Copy !req
434. I want you all to meet the man
who made it possible
Copy !req
435. for me to be here tonight,
Hank Hill.
Copy !req
436. Hank?
Copy !req
437. Who's he?
Copy !req
438. Is that her first director?
Copy !req
439. No, that would be
Nicholas Ruggles.
Copy !req
440. You all know I've played
a lot of love scenes
Copy !req
441. in the movies,
Copy !req
442. but today I fell
head over heels for real.
Copy !req
443. I'm announcing my retirement
from the adult film business
Copy !req
444. so I can be
Copy !req
445. with my true love— Arlen.
Copy !req
446. No offense, guys,
Copy !req
447. but I don't want this kind
of smut in my town.
Copy !req
448. We have a choice to make.
Copy !req
449. Which version
of Arlen do we want?
Copy !req
450. The uncut, X-rated one
with shocking footage,
Copy !req
451. or the PG one that's grown-up
but still appropriate for kids?
Copy !req
452. Now, who here wants
to sign my petition
Copy !req
453. to turn Harlottown
Copy !req
454. back to Arlen?
Copy !req
455. I do, Hank!
Copy !req
456. Now, who else?
Copy !req
457. Petitions, I've got petitions!
Copy !req
458. Share the pens, people.
Copy !req
459. Let's take
a deep breath, everyone.
Copy !req
460. In my Arlen, there won't
be any parking meters.
Copy !req
461. Property taxes slashed!
Copy !req
462. Free garbage pickup!
Copy !req
463. I'm the candyman.
Copy !req
464. "Arlen, come up
and see us sometime."
Copy !req
465. "Arlen, come up and
see us sometime!"
Copy !req
466. Huh, kind of puts a new
complexion on things
Copy !req
467. when sleazy people think
we're too sleazy.
Copy !req
468. You know, I was
Copy !req
469. the first person to come
to Hank Hill's side on this.
Copy !req
470. Thank you, Mayor.
Copy !req
471. Looks like decency isn't so
unpopular after all, eh, Vance?
Copy !req
472. Wow. She really
Copy !req
473. cleaned up nice.
Copy !req
474. "In 1902 Mark Twain stood
on this very spot
Copy !req
475. and remarked on Arlen's
natural beauty."
Copy !req
476. Dad, this was
almost worth the hike.
Copy !req
477. I don't want to take
my eyes off of it.
Copy !req
478. I don't know how to thank
you for everything, Hank.
Copy !req
479. Can I get you another
pair of shoes?
Copy !req
480. No, no. These are fine.
Copy !req
481. Fine? They're great!
Copy !req
482. I have a gala.
Copy !req
