1. Bored.
Copy !req
2. Bored-er.
Copy !req
3. Hey, dudes, pass me
your frog lungs.
Copy !req
4. Aunt Peggy,
Copy !req
5. I just ate a watermelon seed!
Copy !req
6. Oh, my God, what if it grows
in the baby?
Copy !req
7. I don't want a watermelon baby!
Copy !req
8. Luanne, we had this
discussion.
Copy !req
9. We're gonna love
that baby
Copy !req
10. no matter
how it comes out.
Copy !req
11. So Bobby,
Copy !req
12. what's new
at school?
Copy !req
13. Nothing.
Copy !req
14. School is so boring.
Copy !req
15. We need a fire alarm
Copy !req
16. or a good class vomiting
to mix things up.
Copy !req
17. Too bad I'm not subbing
there anymore.
Copy !req
18. I was the fun teacher.
Copy !req
19. Do the kids still talk
Copy !req
20. about the day I brought in
microwave popcorn?
Copy !req
21. You guys should
have a carnival
Copy !req
22. like we did in
middle school.
Copy !req
23. I met Nancy at the
kissing booth.
Copy !req
24. Even with the taste of
200 boys on her lips,
Copy !req
25. that kiss was magical.
Copy !req
26. A carnival sounds great!
Copy !req
27. Someone should propose that
to the student council.
Copy !req
28. Hey, I'm a someone!
Copy !req
29. So,
Copy !req
30. unless you want me
to change my T-shirt
Copy !req
31. to "Tom Landry Middle
Does Not Rule,"
Copy !req
32. you will give us a carnival.
Copy !req
33. What did you think?
Copy !req
34. Hmm.
Copy !req
35. I don't feel that you
looked me in the eye.
Copy !req
36. And that makes me
distrust you.
Copy !req
37. I liked it.
Copy !req
38. At first I wasn't gonna
give you a carnival.
Copy !req
39. Now I totally want
to give you a carnival.
Copy !req
40. But I don't have
a carnival.
Copy !req
41. Dad?
Copy !req
42. The student council is full
of number crunchers.
Copy !req
43. You need to show them that the
carnival will be equal parts fun
Copy !req
44. and fiscal responsibility.
Copy !req
45. I hear ya.
Copy !req
46. Less sizzle, more steak.
Copy !req
47. That's right.
Copy !req
48. Now let's run it again.
Copy !req
49. This time slower
and with less passion.
Copy !req
50. All those Baldwin boys
must be jealous of Alec.
Copy !req
51. He's clearly the winner.
Copy !req
52. Uncle Hank,
Copy !req
53. come quick!
Copy !req
54. Mud Dabber made a Frisbee
out of barbed wire
Copy !req
55. and threw it to Lucky
and now his hands are all cut up
Copy !req
56. and he won't go to the hospital!
Copy !req
57. Sorry, but I don't
do hospitals.
Copy !req
58. Everyone I know
that's died
Copy !req
59. has been shot
in the woods
Copy !req
60. and then taken
to a hospital,
Copy !req
61. where they died.
Copy !req
62. No hospital.
Copy !req
63. Don't worry,
I'll get him there.
Copy !req
64. Principal Moss,
Copy !req
65. there's a Terrence Pope
Copy !req
66. from the superintendent's office
here to see you.
Copy !req
67. I ran his school district I. D.--
Copy !req
68. he checks out.
Copy !req
69. All right, send him in.
Copy !req
70. What can I do for you,
Mr. Pope?
Copy !req
71. It's Dr. Pope,
but I'm not hung up
on formalities.
Copy !req
72. According to our most recent
survey,
Copy !req
73. Tom Landry has reached 42%
diversity.
Copy !req
74. Diverse is good, right?
Copy !req
75. Mm, all those cultures mixing
together is wonderful.
Copy !req
76. Wonderful, that is,
Copy !req
77. if they don't start tearing
each other to shreds.
Copy !req
78. What?
Copy !req
79. We don't have any problems
like that here.
Copy !req
80. Sure, every once in a while
a nerd gets tossed around,
Copy !req
81. but no one means
nothing by it.
Copy !req
82. Look, the superintendent sent me
in to perform a series
Copy !req
83. of tolerance exercises to try
and keep a lid on things.
Copy !req
84. If you don't do it,
you'll lose your funding.
Copy !req
85. 'Course we'll do it!
Copy !req
86. As you can see,
there is absolutely no reason
not to have a carnival.
Copy !req
87. I mean, there's gotta be
some extra money lying around.
Copy !req
88. But I don't want to touch
my discretionary fund.
Copy !req
89. I've built up the largest
discretionary fund
Copy !req
90. in the history
of the student council.
Copy !req
91. And that, my friend,
is my legacy!
Copy !req
92. I say we put it
to a vote.
Copy !req
93. Who wants a carnival?
Copy !req
94. Fine, have your carnival.
Copy !req
95. But it'd better be great, or
I will not take credit for it.
Copy !req
96. Did you really
do it, Bobby?
Copy !req
97. I heard a rumor you
got us a carnival,
Copy !req
98. and that the new girl is
really 22 and a cop.
Copy !req
99. That's right,
the carnival's on!
Copy !req
100. I guess I'm gonna need
a committee
Copy !req
101. to get this thing
off the ground.
Copy !req
102. Who's in?
Copy !req
103. Yeah.
All right.
Copy !req
104. Got here just in time.
Copy !req
105. Is it really
that bad?
Worse.
Copy !req
106. I want to be in charge
of bumper cars.
Copy !req
107. No, dude,
Copy !req
108. bumper cars
are my thing!
Copy !req
109. Look at those children—
Copy !req
110. a powder keg of diversity.
Copy !req
111. I'll start with them.
Copy !req
112. Oh, look
at my two boss men.
Copy !req
113. I'm gonna make more bacon.
Copy !req
114. Well, Bobby,
you got your first
Copy !req
115. carnival committee
meeting today.
Copy !req
116. How you feeling?
Copy !req
117. Big day, big day.
Copy !req
118. I decided to wear
my extra long shortpants.
Copy !req
119. I think
they command more respect.
Copy !req
120. Good call.
So have you thought about
Copy !req
121. what kind of boss
you're gonna be?
Copy !req
122. There's different kinds?
Copy !req
123. Well, sure.
Copy !req
124. There's the cool boss
who wants to be everybody's pal.
Copy !req
125. He ends up with lots of friends,
Copy !req
126. which is nice
for when he gets fired
Copy !req
127. for not getting the job done.
Copy !req
128. Ugh, I hate working
for buddy bosses.
Copy !req
129. People walk all over them.
Copy !req
130. And I am the worst.
Copy !req
131. And there's also the tough,
no-nonsense boss.
Copy !req
132. The name pretty much
says it all.
Copy !req
133. Which kind do you think
I should be?
Copy !req
134. Well, it's kind of obvious.
Copy !req
135. Gotcha.
Copy !req
136. Welcome, carnival committee.
Copy !req
137. You know, there's two kinds
of bosses.
Copy !req
138. And lucky for you,
I'm gonna be the fun kind.
Copy !req
139. So, if it's totally
right-on with everyone,
Copy !req
140. let's talk about theme.
Copy !req
141. Let's talk about
decorations instead.
Copy !req
142. Okay, that's cool.
Copy !req
143. No bad ideas.
Copy !req
144. The theme informs
the decorations, dude.
Copy !req
145. Yeah, but decorations
are way sexier.
Copy !req
146. That is mad
stupid!
Copy !req
147. Ugh!
Copy !req
148. You're so
inside the box.
Copy !req
149. Kids, listen up.
Copy !req
150. This here's Dr.
Terrence Pope.
Copy !req
151. District sent him to help
us get along better.
Copy !req
152. I couldn't help but overhear
your little disagreement.
Copy !req
153. I've got a great
Copy !req
154. technique for problem-solving.
Copy !req
155. Who's up for it?
Copy !req
156. Perfect.
Copy !req
157. Those of you who want
to discuss themes—
Copy !req
158. what if I said you could either
work with the others
Copy !req
159. to find a compromise
Copy !req
160. or send them on a vacation?
Copy !req
161. I say we send them
on vacation.
Copy !req
162. Yeah, that way, they get
to have a nice trip,
Copy !req
163. and we can go back
to working on the carnival.
Copy !req
164. Classic win-win.
Copy !req
165. Well done.
Copy !req
166. You worked together
to reach a decision.
Copy !req
167. Sadly,
Copy !req
168. it's the same decision
all too many people reach
Copy !req
169. when one group disagrees
with another.
Copy !req
170. This "vacation" you sent
these students on
Copy !req
171. goes by many names—
Copy !req
172. exile, internment,
gulag, death camp.
Copy !req
173. Congratulations.
Copy !req
174. You've just ethnically cleansed
half your class.
Copy !req
175. Lucky,
Copy !req
176. I am taking you
to the hospital!
Copy !req
177. Come on, Lucky.
Copy !req
178. We're doing this
for your own good.
Copy !req
179. What's going on?
Copy !req
180. I... I can't get a grip.
Copy !req
181. He keeps slipping away.
Copy !req
182. He's like happiness!
Copy !req
183. Aah! This is Vaseline.
Copy !req
184. No hospital!
Copy !req
185. Aah, dang it!
Copy !req
186. We'll never
catch him.
Copy !req
187. And he'll
never rash.
Copy !req
188. Genius.
Copy !req
189. I didn't appreciate
getting ethnically
cleansed, Connie.
Copy !req
190. I didn't mean
to kill you.
Copy !req
191. I really thought
I was sending you on vacation.
Copy !req
192. Oh, listen to you.
I don't get it.
Copy !req
193. Come on, everybody.
Copy !req
194. Bobby, why isn't
anybody working?
Copy !req
195. Uh...
Copy !req
196. I went out on a limb
for you, Hill.
Copy !req
197. You'd better not screw this up.
Copy !req
198. I also control the yearbook.
Copy !req
199. And when you control the
yearbook, you control history.
Copy !req
200. Come on, guys, let's focus!
Copy !req
201. And so it begins.
Copy !req
202. Everybody pull up a chair.
Copy !req
203. I think we need some dialoging.
Copy !req
204. Now pull up.
Copy !req
205. We're gonna do a little exercise
Copy !req
206. to help you put things
in perspective.
Copy !req
207. Some of you will have
to wear stars
Copy !req
208. on your person at all times.
Copy !req
209. I'm a policeman.
Copy !req
210. Ugh, I'm getting too old
for this crap.
Copy !req
211. Look at me, I'm
a Star-Belly Sneetch!
Copy !req
212. No, you shouldn't be happy
to have a star.
Copy !req
213. A star means you've been
singled out, labeled,
Copy !req
214. like the Jews in Nazi Germany.
Copy !req
215. So, if we have stars,
we're Jews?
Copy !req
216. Exactly.
Copy !req
217. And we should be sad to be Jews?
Copy !req
218. Yes...
Copy !req
219. well, no, it's complicated.
Copy !req
220. I mean, my point is,
during the Holocaust,
Copy !req
221. Jews weren't allowed
to go to school,
Copy !req
222. their property was taken away,
they had to live in prisons.
Copy !req
223. I don't want to be a Jew!
Copy !req
224. All right, forget the stars.
Copy !req
225. Get rid of the stars.
Copy !req
226. We're moving on. New exercise.
Copy !req
227. This side of the room
will be circles,
Copy !req
228. and this side will
be squares.
Copy !req
229. Circles have absolute freedom—
Copy !req
230. they can do
Copy !req
231. whatever they want—
Copy !req
232. but squares have no freedom,
Copy !req
233. no rights
Copy !req
234. and must do whatever
the circles tell them.
Copy !req
235. Begin.
Copy !req
236. I said begin.
Copy !req
237. Uh, square dude,
Copy !req
238. I command you to bark
like a donkey.
Copy !req
239. But donkeys don't...
Copy !req
240. Do it, Square!
Copy !req
241. And you,
Copy !req
242. you stupid square,
Copy !req
243. sing beautiful songs about me.
Copy !req
244. I do.
Copy !req
245. Okay, people,
Copy !req
246. I tried being the cool boss
and that didn't work,
Copy !req
247. so here comes that tough boss.
Copy !req
248. I'm a circle, and I order you
to go back to work.
Copy !req
249. That was an impressive
display of leadership.
Copy !req
250. I bet you enjoyed ordering
people around like that.
Copy !req
251. Well, I had to.
Copy !req
252. I've got a carnival to organize.
Copy !req
253. And my dad says, "The boss has
to be tough sometimes
Copy !req
254. to get the job done."
Copy !req
255. Your dad gets the job done,
Copy !req
256. and his dad probably
got the job done.
Copy !req
257. Throughout history,
getting the job done
Copy !req
258. has meant everything
from persecution to genocide.
Copy !req
259. What? My dad hasn't
done any of those things.
Copy !req
260. I mean, my Grandpa Cotton
maybe a little, but...
Copy !req
261. You enjoyed the power
of being a boss,
Copy !req
262. of being a privileged circle
Copy !req
263. that could
order around a square.
Copy !req
264. You see,
Copy !req
265. circles and squares
are just symbols.
Copy !req
266. A circle could be anything.
Copy !req
267. You, Circle,
what is your heritage?
Copy !req
268. Dutch.
Copy !req
269. The Dutch!
Copy !req
270. Windmills, wooden shoes,
apartheid.
Copy !req
271. There are no clean hands
in history.
Copy !req
272. Homework, I want each of you
to research your heritage.
Copy !req
273. See what you have done.
Copy !req
274. You'll be able to fill a book.
Copy !req
275. Mom, I'm doing some homework
on my ancestors.
Copy !req
276. What is our heritage?
Copy !req
277. I forget.
Copy !req
278. Well, let's see.
Copy !req
279. We're English and Irish.
Copy !req
280. And I think your
great-grandfather was German...
Copy !req
281. Stop. Just stop.
Copy !req
282. Hey there, Bobby.
Copy !req
283. I'd ask you how
your day was,
Copy !req
284. but since you're the boss,
I already know:
Copy !req
285. difficult and rewarding.
Copy !req
286. Things are not good, Dad.
Copy !req
287. I tried to be the cool boss
and it didn't work.
Copy !req
288. Of course it didn't.
Copy !req
289. So I switched to being
the tough boss.
Copy !req
290. I yelled
and everybody got to work.
Copy !req
291. But then I was called
a horrible oppressor.
Copy !req
292. Look, Bobby, you're the boss.
Copy !req
293. You have to do whatever it takes
to get the job done.
Copy !req
294. Ugh, that's what Dr. Pope
said you would say.
Copy !req
295. This should be the most
exciting day of my life,
Copy !req
296. but I can't be happy.
Copy !req
297. The weight of my ancestors
Copy !req
298. is pushing down right here.
Copy !req
299. How do you think I feel?
As a white man,
Copy !req
300. I've killed a little
bit of everybody.
Copy !req
301. That's all your stuff
except for the goat.
Copy !req
302. She fell off the truck,
but I saw her walking this way.
Copy !req
303. She'll get here.
Copy !req
304. Look at that snow cone machine.
Copy !req
305. First we take the Eskimos' land,
Copy !req
306. and now we're gonna eat it.
Copy !req
307. Bobby, at your age, you
shouldn't be feeling
Copy !req
308. this level of guilt,
doubt and self-loathing.
Copy !req
309. And yet you are.
Copy !req
310. I'm proud of you.
Copy !req
311. Really?
Copy !req
312. I'm proud of all of you.
Copy !req
313. Wouldn't it be great
if every student
Copy !req
314. felt the same way you all do?
Copy !req
315. Yeah, I wish we could
tape their eyes open
Copy !req
316. and shove their faces
into the truth.
Copy !req
317. Wait, why can't we?
Copy !req
318. I can get through to them.
Copy !req
319. Kids love me.
Copy !req
320. Though they don't know
everything I'm guilty of.
Copy !req
321. You've got something there,
Bobby.
Copy !req
322. Tomorrow you'll have
everyone at your disposal.
Copy !req
323. Instead of your carnival,
Copy !req
324. we can gather the students
for an assembly of learning.
Copy !req
325. The carnival is off, people.
Copy !req
326. Let the healing begin!
Copy !req
327. Well, tomorrow is Bobby's
big day at the carnival.
Copy !req
328. I'm gonna be busy with that,
Copy !req
329. so you guys are in charge
of finding Lucky
Copy !req
330. and getting him to the hospital.
Copy !req
331. Yup.
Yup.
Copy !req
332. Dang ol' the hunt is on.
Copy !req
333. Hey, Dad, do we have
any 3x5 cards?
Copy !req
334. I'm delivering
a speech tomorrow,
Copy !req
335. and I don't want
to leave anything out.
Copy !req
336. You know, I find that
writing in all caps
Copy !req
337. puts me more at ease.
Copy !req
338. The 4x6s are on my desk.
Copy !req
339. Great.
Copy !req
340. Have a socially
relevant day!
Copy !req
341. Thanks. I will!
Copy !req
342. I remember when I was like them.
Copy !req
343. So misguidedly happy.
Copy !req
344. Ooh, the superintendent
just got here.
Copy !req
345. If this goes well,
Copy !req
346. I'll be running
programs like this
Copy !req
347. all over the state.
Copy !req
348. Full-time gig with health
coverage and benefits.
Copy !req
349. Well, it looks as if
Copy !req
350. all of Arlen is here
for the carnival.
Copy !req
351. You know, we're not as
handsome a group as I thought.
Copy !req
352. Oh, here comes Bobby.
Copy !req
353. Welcome, everyone.
Copy !req
354. Before I begin, I want you
to know I will not kill you,
Copy !req
355. or bring you famine
or give you smallpox.
Copy !req
356. Oh, he's serious.
Copy !req
357. I know you were all
expecting a carnival,
Copy !req
358. but millions of people were
expecting to not be genocided
Copy !req
359. by our forefathers.
Copy !req
360. So, instead of a carnival,
Copy !req
361. we're gonna take
some responsibility!
Copy !req
362. What in the heck
is he talking about?
Copy !req
363. No carnival?
How could Bobby do this?
Copy !req
364. You thought your son
not popular before?
Copy !req
365. Peggy Hill, get ready
to be his prom date.
Copy !req
366. I can't believe
Bobby did this to us!
Copy !req
367. I haven't done this
since elementary school,
Copy !req
368. but as God is my witness,
I swear I'm going to bite him!
Copy !req
369. My substitute sense
is tingling.
Copy !req
370. This crowd is about to attack.
Copy !req
371. Bobby and Connie gonna
get ass kicked.
Copy !req
372. We need a diversion.
Copy !req
373. Tell kids SpongeBob
in front of school.
Copy !req
374. a violent act...
Copy !req
375. I don't know what kids like.
Copy !req
376. has been passed down from
generation to generation.
Copy !req
377. First, my ancestors made...
Copy !req
378. I have a different
idea. Let's go.
Copy !req
379. our railroad, and now I'm...
Copy !req
380. Okay, man, come on, let's
go dang ol' do it, man.
Copy !req
381. No hospital.
Copy !req
382. Now you can come quietly or
we'll wait until you pass out.
Copy !req
383. Your call.
Copy !req
384. Guilty.
Copy !req
385. Guilty.
Copy !req
386. Boo!
Copy !req
387. You're guilty of sucking!
Copy !req
388. Dr. Pope, is it normal for
self-loathing to be so loud?
Copy !req
389. I don't think
they're getting it.
Copy !req
390. Well, we picked the scab
and opened the wound.
Copy !req
391. That's usually as
far as I get.
Copy !req
392. I'm sure they'll start
reflecting any minute now.
Copy !req
393. All right, Pope, what
the hell is going on here?
Copy !req
394. Oh, Superintendent,
I can explain.
Copy !req
395. See, Bobby Hill, right here,
Copy !req
396. wanted to try and bring
the students together.
Copy !req
397. How? By causing a riot?
Copy !req
398. I just set up
the House of Mirrors.
Copy !req
399. Hank Hill, you are
a lucky man.
Copy !req
400. Great, let's keep
it moving.
Copy !req
401. Here they come.
Copy !req
402. Dad, what are you doing?
Copy !req
403. Trying to give these kids the
carnival that you promised them.
Copy !req
404. I also promised to make
the kids see all the misery
Copy !req
405. we're responsible
for, you know—
Copy !req
406. the slave trade,
potato famine...
Copy !req
407. I'm supposed to be opening
the wound so that it can heal.
Copy !req
408. That is ridiculous.
Copy !req
409. If a wound is closed,
it's already healing.
Copy !req
410. Yeah,
Copy !req
411. well, I... I guess.
Copy !req
412. Bobby, you're 13 years old.
Copy !req
413. You didn't have anything to do
with any of that stuff.
Copy !req
414. Oh, thank God.
Copy !req
415. The only thing
you're responsible for
Copy !req
416. is not delivering this carnival.
Copy !req
417. But what about the hate, Dad?
The simmering hate?
Copy !req
418. If you want to learn about
hate, just look over there.
Copy !req
419. What do I do?
Copy !req
420. Well, you're the boss.
You tell me.
Copy !req
421. Bobby, what should we do?
Copy !req
422. There's nobody in there.
Copy !req
423. Do we keep talking?
Copy !req
424. No.
Copy !req
425. Enough talking!
Copy !req
426. The carnival's back on,
everybody!
Copy !req
427. But we've got a lot
of work to do.
Copy !req
428. Joseph, fill up the dunk tank.
Copy !req
429. With water?
Copy !req
430. Yes.
Copy !req
431. Clark, you get on
the helium balloons.
Copy !req
432. The rest of you, come with me.
Copy !req
433. We've got hot dogs to reheat
and a goat to wrangle.
Copy !req
434. Let's go!
Copy !req
435. Look at all these diverse kids
working together.
Copy !req
436. I don't know what the hell
was going on in there,
Copy !req
437. but this is great.
Copy !req
438. Uh, most exercises
need some adjustments.
Copy !req
439. Well, next time
just do the carnival.
Copy !req
440. I feel the same way.
Copy !req
441. Hi. Dawn Thistle,
Copy !req
442. student council president
and carnival chairman.
Copy !req
443. So what do you think?
Pretty great, right?
Copy !req
444. Everyone did such a fantastic
job implementing my ideas.
Copy !req
445. Uh, this was your carnival?
Copy !req
446. It's one of my many projects.
Copy !req
447. Listen, while I have your ear,
Copy !req
448. I think I'd make
a great addition
Copy !req
449. to the Peers Against Pressure
Teen Task Force.
Copy !req
450. Let's walk and talk.
Copy !req
451. It-it's hard to say whose
idea the carnival really was.
Copy !req
452. Ideas were ping-ponging
all over the room!
Copy !req
453. Bobby, this is
your carnival.
Copy !req
454. Don't you want
credit for it?
Copy !req
455. I don't need
credit, Dad.
Copy !req
456. I'm the boss.
Copy !req
457. It's all about results.
Copy !req
458. It sure is.
Copy !req
459. Yup.
Copy !req
460. Yep.
Copy !req
461. Have a socially relevant day!
