1. That year, we
almost had it.
Copy !req
2. I had just learned
how to button.
Copy !req
3. You should've
checked my work.
Copy !req
4. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
5. Look at Dad!
Copy !req
6. Ugh, I should just destroy
those back-up glasses.
Copy !req
7. I wonder where
that necklace went?
Copy !req
8. Hank!
Guess what?
Copy !req
9. You know how we always
wait until the last minute
Copy !req
10. to get our Christmas card
photo taken and always end up
Copy !req
11. getting Mega-Lo portraits,
which are always terrible?
Copy !req
12. Uh... am I supposed to be
guessing something here?
Copy !req
13. Mom got us
an appointment with Ron!
Copy !req
14. As in "Portraits by Ron" Ron!
Copy !req
15. I called and got the last
available appointment
Copy !req
16. before Christmas.
Copy !req
17. Wow!
Copy !req
18. This guy's even taken photos
of the Stricklands!
Copy !req
19. This is gonna be great!
Copy !req
20. It's all because I did
your favorite thing, Hank—
Copy !req
21. I planned ahead.
Copy !req
22. Well, you know
what I always say:
Copy !req
23. "If you plan ahead,
Copy !req
24. then, when things happen,
you're prepared."
Copy !req
25. Yep.
Copy !req
26. Yup.
Copy !req
27. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
28. Talkin' 'bout like
a dang ol' Rick Wakeman, man,
Copy !req
29. 'stead of "yes" man, you gonna
dang 'ol say "no," man.
Copy !req
30. I took it upon myself to upgrade
Copy !req
31. the entertainment value
of the alley,
Copy !req
32. and provide a soundtrack,
if you will.
Copy !req
33. Uh, I don't know, Dale.
Copy !req
34. Conversation's already
pretty good.
Copy !req
35. But it could
be better!
Copy !req
36. I'll show you!
Copy !req
37. So, I was just
opening this beer,
Copy !req
38. and the tab didn't
go all the way in.
Copy !req
39. So I had to push it open
with my Swiss Army knife
Copy !req
40. and now, my beer tastes
like my back pocket.
Copy !req
41. Wow... you really
made that come to life.
Copy !req
42. Sssst! Good luck following
that, Boomhauer.
Copy !req
43. Dad, Dooley ran away
from home!
Copy !req
44. He left a note with
only two words: I'm gone.
Copy !req
45. So Dooley ran away.
Copy !req
46. Mm-mm-mm.
Copy !req
47. I am not
the least bit surprised.
Copy !req
48. There is no way you can keep
a lid on that powder keg
Copy !req
49. they call a family.
Copy !req
50. I thought you and Melinda Dooley
were friends.
Copy !req
51. Yeah...
Copy !req
52. Melinda and I
took different paths.
Copy !req
53. Let's just say her clothes
weren't the only thing
Copy !req
54. that got casual on Fridays.
Copy !req
55. I will leave it at that.
Copy !req
56. Her values.
Copy !req
57. I wonder where
that boy is.
Copy !req
58. If I were him, I'd find myself
a nice culvert to crawl into.
Copy !req
59. Somewhere in Oklahoma,
Copy !req
60. where the police treat
you like a human being.
Copy !req
61. Uh... Okay.
Copy !req
62. Poor Melinda.
Copy !req
63. It all went downhill for her
Copy !req
64. after she married
that Tim Dooley.
Copy !req
65. Well, because
she had to.
Copy !req
66. Poor thing.
Copy !req
67. First, everything else in
her life, and now this.
Copy !req
68. Welcome, parents.
Copy !req
69. We're confronting a serious
and difficult issue.
Copy !req
70. Thank God we've got a speaker
to tell us what to do.
Copy !req
71. "Here he is, fresh from
The Montel Williams Show—
Copy !req
72. author Stephens Davies."
Copy !req
73. Good evening.
Copy !req
74. First, let me extend
my condolences
Copy !req
75. to the Dooley family
and the Arlen community.
Copy !req
76. We must ask ourselves
why this happened.
Copy !req
77. Allow me to quote
from my book.
Copy !req
78. "The nuclear family
has suffered a meltdown."
Copy !req
79. If you don't have a
close-knit family,
Copy !req
80. then every member
of your family is at risk.
Copy !req
81. I'm back.
Copy !req
82. Show's over.
Copy !req
83. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Copy !req
84. Dooley is the exception
who proves the rule.
Copy !req
85. Yes, every second
in this country,
Copy !req
86. a poorly parented child
runs away.
Copy !req
87. Excuse me!
Copy !req
88. Your child could
run away!
Copy !req
89. My son will not run away.
Copy !req
90. My family is fine.
Copy !req
91. Don't you think Mrs. Dooley
Copy !req
92. thought her family
was fine, too?
Copy !req
93. Well, probably.
Copy !req
94. But, really, I don't think
this relates to me.
Copy !req
95. Of course you don't.
Your family's great.
Copy !req
96. So, tell me:
where's your son right now?
Copy !req
97. He is... at home.
Copy !req
98. Then let's call him.
Copy !req
99. Get on up here!
Copy !req
100. Okay.
Copy !req
101. Whoa!
Look out for the books.
Copy !req
102. On sale.
Copy !req
103. With a forward
by Marilu Henner.
Copy !req
104. Are you sure you don't want
to talk to Melinda Dooley?
Copy !req
105. She's right there.
Copy !req
106. Sorry, we're not home right now.
Copy !req
107. Unless this is Alex Trebek,
in which case, come right over.
Copy !req
108. Well, that's just...
Copy !req
109. Interesting. What's your son's
cell phone number?
Copy !req
110. He doesn't have
a cell phone.
Copy !req
111. You have no idea
where your son is
Copy !req
112. or how to get
ahold of him.
Copy !req
113. So if he's gone,
he's gone.
Copy !req
114. Well, uh...
Copy !req
115. This is the real problem
with American families.
Copy !req
116. Complacency!
Copy !req
117. Self-satisfaction!
Copy !req
118. Igno-rationalization!
Copy !req
119. It's a word I coined—
it's in my book—
Copy !req
120. and she's guilty of it.
Copy !req
121. I am so sorry.
Copy !req
122. You're ashamed.
Copy !req
123. Peggy, I think
you may be overreacting.
Copy !req
124. Have you ever wondered
Copy !req
125. why we can never get
our Christmas card photo right?
Copy !req
126. It's because, as a family,
we are all over the place:
Copy !req
127. scattered, disheveled,
eyes closed.
Copy !req
128. The '77 Cowboys
never took a good photo,
Copy !req
129. but they won the Super Bowl.
Copy !req
130. Your logic doesn't hold up.
Copy !req
131. Hank, when an expert on families
calls you up on stage
Copy !req
132. and tells you
you are failing as a parent,
Copy !req
133. it would be foolish of you
to ignore it.
Copy !req
134. Which is why I got this.
Copy !req
135. Now, when you go out, simply
slide your magnet to "out,"
Copy !req
136. and indicate your destination
and estimated time spent,
Copy !req
137. using these symbols here.
Copy !req
138. I also bought each of you
a cell phone.
Copy !req
139. Cool!
Copy !req
140. Yeah, it is cool.
Copy !req
141. It only calls me.
Copy !req
142. Oh.
Copy !req
143. Can I receive calls?
Copy !req
144. From me.
Copy !req
145. Peggy, this is unnecessary.
Copy !req
146. We communicate as needed.
Copy !req
147. Uh, well, I do like
dry-erase boards.
Copy !req
148. Thank you.
Copy !req
149. What's that you're playing?
Copy !req
150. It's your theme song.
Copy !req
151. What?
Copy !req
152. I'm kidding.
Copy !req
153. This is your theme song.
Copy !req
154. No, no, it's this.
Copy !req
155. It really is that.
Copy !req
156. Listen to my theme song!
Copy !req
157. Oh, that is so me.
Copy !req
158. Aw, dang it.
Copy !req
159. I lost the drawstring
to my sweatpants again.
Copy !req
160. What's that trick
with the, uh...
Copy !req
161. Peggy!
Copy !req
162. What are you doing
in your underwear
Copy !req
163. outside the master bathroom?
Copy !req
164. I want us to be a closer,
more open family.
Copy !req
165. What?
Copy !req
166. Why would you want that?
Copy !req
167. Baaah!
Copy !req
168. Because of what
I just read in Davies's book—
Copy !req
169. Chapter 12: Get Comfortable.
Copy !req
170. "Clothes may keep
your body warm,
Copy !req
171. but they make your heart cold."
Copy !req
172. We need more intimacy
as a family, Hank.
Copy !req
173. I thought that's what
the dry-erase board was for.
Copy !req
174. Now, for God sakes,
put on some clothes!
Copy !req
175. Hank, the dry-erase board
Copy !req
176. is only the physical part
of the solution.
Copy !req
177. This hanging out in our
underwear is the emotional part.
Copy !req
178. Mmm! This is the way food
was meant to be eaten!
Copy !req
179. No stains.
Copy !req
180. I can just
hose down afterwards.
Copy !req
181. I don't think
this is sanitary.
Copy !req
182. Hank, you might feel
better about this
Copy !req
183. if you took your pants off.
Copy !req
184. No.
Copy !req
185. All right.
Copy !req
186. Look— if wearing your pants
makes you comfortable, do it.
Copy !req
187. Anything goes.
Copy !req
188. Do whatever you feel like doing.
Copy !req
189. Ah. Good.
Boomhauer's home.
Copy !req
190. Uh... I feel like
going out to the alley.
Copy !req
191. Hey, Bobby!
Copy !req
192. I got these for the three of us
for the Christmas photo.
Copy !req
193. Okay.
Copy !req
194. So, tell me— what happened
in school today, huh?
Copy !req
195. How are you feeling?
Copy !req
196. Uh, okay.
Copy !req
197. Oh!
It was classic.
Copy !req
198. In gym class,
Copy !req
199. I made a fart noise
with a deflated volleyball
Copy !req
200. and people thought
it was Coach Kleehammer!
Copy !req
201. No, no, no, Bobby,
that's good,
Copy !req
202. but what I want to know about,
honey, are your feelings.
Copy !req
203. Huh?
Copy !req
204. You know,
Copy !req
205. do you feel misunderstood,
isolated?
Copy !req
206. Do you feel like
people don't like you?
Copy !req
207. What do you mean
people don't like me?
Copy !req
208. I was the one who
made the fart noise!
Copy !req
209. Bobby...
Copy !req
210. I would like to share
an excerpt from my diary,
Copy !req
211. as I no longer want us
to have any secrets.
Copy !req
212. No, no, that's okay.
Copy !req
213. "Dear Diary,
Copy !req
214. "Bobby's eyebrows
have still not grown in.
Copy !req
215. It is disturbing."
Copy !req
216. Mom!
Copy !req
217. I want my sideburns
to be even for Ron's picture.
Copy !req
218. I'm gonna need you to hold
the laser level as I shave.
Copy !req
219. Is there anything on you
you'd like level?
Copy !req
220. No, thank you.
Copy !req
221. Bwaaah!
Copy !req
222. Close the doorl
Copy !req
223. Hank,
there are no doors.
Copy !req
224. What? No!
Copy !req
225. Only when we take down
our inner doors
Copy !req
226. can we put them back up
and then not use them.
Copy !req
227. So, let me get this straight:
Copy !req
228. To keep Bobby from running away,
Copy !req
229. you have to do your business
in front of me?
Copy !req
230. It's the only way.
Copy !req
231. How did you even do that?
Copy !req
232. I'm trying to take a shower
and there's no curtain!
Copy !req
233. Come on!
Copy !req
234. First one to breakfast
gets to sit on my lap!
Copy !req
235. Oh, no.
Copy !req
236. Why are you wearing
your pajamas?
Copy !req
237. I had to get dressed
in a hurry.
Copy !req
238. There's no doors
in my house!
Copy !req
239. Yello.
Copy !req
240. This is
a recording of Ron.
Copy !req
241. We're calling to confirm your
photo shoot with Ron at:
Copy !req
242. Today at 5:00 p. m.
Copy !req
243. What? Today?
Copy !req
244. No, I thought it was tomorrow.
Copy !req
245. Hello? Help!
Copy !req
246. Somebody, please... hello?
Copy !req
247. Hank,
Copy !req
248. I need you to go on
Copy !req
249. a propane run for us now.
Copy !req
250. I'd love to, sir.
Copy !req
251. Can I hang out with
you for awhile?
Copy !req
252. You can if you want,
Copy !req
253. but my dad's been
testing Tasers,
Copy !req
254. so you really have
to watch out.
Copy !req
255. I'll take my chances.
Copy !req
256. You have 30 seconds
Copy !req
257. until this appointment is over.
Copy !req
258. At 5:30, I'm taking a picture.
Copy !req
259. 20 seconds.
Copy !req
260. I'm so sorry, I do not know
how this could've happened.
Copy !req
261. They should be here.
Copy !req
262. That is your picture.
Copy !req
263. Good-bye.
Copy !req
264. Next!
Copy !req
265. Well, here it is.
Copy !req
266. We didn't know about the mix-up
until it was too late.
Copy !req
267. We'll just reschedule.
Copy !req
268. Ron is booked up;
we can't reschedule.
Copy !req
269. Didn't you see the board?
Copy !req
270. I even used those freaking
High School Musicalmagnets
Copy !req
271. you love so much.
Copy !req
272. Neither of us came home in time.
Copy !req
273. I don't understand.
Copy !req
274. I called, I left messages...
Copy !req
275. Hank, where is your cell phone?
Copy !req
276. Uh... it's in my desk at work.
Copy !req
277. But how are you going
to get my calls?
Copy !req
278. Bobby, where's your phone?
Copy !req
279. Uh, it's in my desk at work?
Copy !req
280. Oh, my gosh, you did not
want to get my calls.
Copy !req
281. You were both avoiding me.
Copy !req
282. It's all the extra attention
and sharing and whatnot.
Copy !req
283. We felt a little...
Copy !req
284. claustrophobic.
Copy !req
285. Yeah! I've even had dreams
that I was a little bunny,
Copy !req
286. and you petted me and petted me
and petted me
Copy !req
287. until you broke my neck.
Copy !req
288. Oh, I see.
Copy !req
289. I just wanted us to be closer.
Copy !req
290. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
291. Well, I have errands to run.
Copy !req
292. I will not bother
to tell you where am going,
Copy !req
293. since it does not matter.
Copy !req
294. I sure hate to see
Peggy so upset.
Copy !req
295. Dang it, somebody should
invent a pill
Copy !req
296. that just
makes you happy.
Copy !req
297. It's not a pill,
Copy !req
298. but I make something
in my bathtub
Copy !req
299. that'll make you happy.
Copy !req
300. You know, none
of this would've happened
Copy !req
301. if it wasn't for that
family expert jackass.
Copy !req
302. You mean, Stephens Davies?
Copy !req
303. That guy's amazing!
Copy !req
304. His theories, his sense
of style, the whole thing.
Copy !req
305. I wish I could go
to his book signing today.
Copy !req
306. A book signing?
Copy !req
307. Yeah, at the Arlen Mall.
Copy !req
308. I'd go, but I'm pretty busy
writing this musical.
Copy !req
309. Huh.
Copy !req
310. I think I'll go down there,
Copy !req
311. get that guy to call Peggy,
Copy !req
312. and fix all the problems
he caused.
Copy !req
313. Sorry I was such
a lame lab partner today.
Copy !req
314. It's okay.
Copy !req
315. I just feel so bad about
hurting my mom's feelings.
Copy !req
316. Ah... I've got it.
Copy !req
317. I'll just go down and beg
for a new appointment.
Copy !req
318. I'm adorable when I beg.
Copy !req
319. If that doesn't work,
start crying.
Copy !req
320. It works for my dad.
Copy !req
321. I need to return these.
Copy !req
322. I am no longer in
the Christmas spirit.
Copy !req
323. Sir, Mr. Davies isn't signing
any personal items.
Copy !req
324. You have to buy his
book and wait in line.
Copy !req
325. All right, fine.
Copy !req
326. There you are!
Copy !req
327. Mr. Ron?
Copy !req
328. Speaking.
Copy !req
329. My family missed our
appointment yesterday
Copy !req
330. and my mom's really upset.
Copy !req
331. Is there any way you
can squeeze us in?
Copy !req
332. This photo means a lot to her
and she means a lot to me.
Copy !req
333. Please.
Copy !req
334. You know, I shoot
families all the time
Copy !req
335. who I know hate each other.
Copy !req
336. It's nice to see there
are some out there
Copy !req
337. who have real love and
devotion between them.
Copy !req
338. Reminds me of I got into
this business.
Copy !req
339. So, you'll give us
a new appointment?
Copy !req
340. No, no, no— there's nothing
I can do. Sorry.
Copy !req
341. Oh, please!
No.
Copy !req
342. Oh!
Copy !req
343. And the name is?
Copy !req
344. Hank Hill.
Copy !req
345. I'm the husband
of Peggy Hill.
Copy !req
346. I can't do two names
on one book.
Copy !req
347. You need to buy another.
Copy !req
348. Look, you and your
gotdang book
Copy !req
349. have upset my family,
and now you're gonna fix it.
Copy !req
350. Oh!
Copy !req
351. Security!
Copy !req
352. You are gonna call my wife
and tell her that she is
Copy !req
353. a good mother and
we have a good family.
Copy !req
354. Use this—
it's like a Bat Phone—
Copy !req
355. it'll go right to her.
Copy !req
356. Grip it!
Why don't you grip it?
Copy !req
357. I'm not going
to tell you again!
Copy !req
358. Now take the phone,
Copy !req
359. and make the dang call!
Copy !req
360. Hank?
What are you doing?
Copy !req
361. Peggy?
Copy !req
362. Aw, dang it!
Copy !req
363. There he goes.
Copy !req
364. I was trying to
get your expert
Copy !req
365. to tell you that
everything was okay.
Copy !req
366. Mom!
Copy !req
367. Bobby, what are
you doing here?
Copy !req
368. I tried to get Ron
to reschedule.
Copy !req
369. I even cried!
Copy !req
370. I was faking it at first,
Copy !req
371. and then
I started crying real tears,
Copy !req
372. thinking about how important
this was to you...
Copy !req
373. I'm doing it again!
Copy !req
374. You are a wonderful husband
and a wonderful son—
Copy !req
375. and we are a wonderful family.
Copy !req
376. And I don't need
a picture to prove it.
Copy !req
377. But it would've been nice.
Copy !req
378. The Dooleys?
Copy !req
379. Dang it, we're a better
family than they are!
Copy !req
380. We deserve to have our
picture taken with Ron!
Copy !req
381. In fact,
Ron will take our picture.
Copy !req
382. We just have to work together.
Copy !req
383. Well, hello, Melinda.
Copy !req
384. Peggy.
Copy !req
385. I see you
found your son.
Copy !req
386. We were all worried.
Copy !req
387. Sarcasm.
Copy !req
388. Well, two can
play at that game.
Copy !req
389. Cute baby.
Copy !req
390. Sorry we can't stay and chat.
Copy !req
391. We have an appointment with Ron.
Copy !req
392. I have three months'
allowance saved up.
Copy !req
393. It's all yours, if you just
run away for a little while.
Copy !req
394. You have an hour.
Copy !req
395. Hey, Tim.
Copy !req
396. How's, uh...
how's your boy?
Copy !req
397. Dooley!
Copy !req
398. The Dooleys, please?
Copy !req
