1. Ripped By mstoll
Copy !req
2. Remember our old percolator?
Copy !req
3. Now, that made a cup of coffee.
Copy !req
4. If you want to open up
that can of worms,
Copy !req
5. let's talk about
the old can opener.
Copy !req
6. No, not the lawn!
Copy !req
7. The lawn, boy, no!
Copy !req
8. How many times have I told you,
Copy !req
9. there are no dinosaur
bones under our yard!
Copy !req
10. I'm doing extra credit
for my earth science class.
Copy !req
11. We're learning about
all that these trees can do,
Copy !req
12. like turning carbon dioxide
into oxygen.
Copy !req
13. Yeah, and, uh, other stuff.
Copy !req
14. Huh.
Copy !req
15. Well, I wish
you'd asked permission,
Copy !req
16. but it is a pretty good spot
for a tree.
Copy !req
17. And the pecan tree
is the state tree of Texas.
Copy !req
18. I limited myself to trees
that could be used to make pies.
Copy !req
19. Well, let me
give you boys a hand.
Copy !req
20. There's a new recipe
for backfill
Copy !req
21. I've been meaning to try out.
Copy !req
22. It's, uh, two parts compost.
Copy !req
23. Okay, gather around, everybody!
Copy !req
24. We're gonna play us
a little game!
Copy !req
25. Highest card
wins Strickland Propane,
Copy !req
26. all its assets and liabilities.
Copy !req
27. A jack!
Copy !req
28. All right, I'm in the mix!
Copy !req
29. What's going on, sir?
Copy !req
30. The last time
we played this game,
Copy !req
31. Joe Jack got hit
with a paternity suit.
Copy !req
32. It's fixing to get ugly
around here.
Copy !req
33. The Bystander's about
to print a story claiming
Copy !req
34. we've been illegally dumping
our old propane tanks
Copy !req
35. in the Cottonwood River!
Copy !req
36. What?
Copy !req
37. Why would they say that?
Copy !req
38. Because they're jackals!
Copy !req
39. They're trying to fill
their news holes.
Copy !req
40. And because they got proof.
Copy !req
41. Dang it, Mr. Strickland,
I don't understand
Copy !req
42. how you can be
Strickland's greatest asset
Copy !req
43. and its greatest liability.
Copy !req
44. Calm down.
Copy !req
45. I didn't know it was illegal.
Copy !req
46. I was trying to create
a coral reef,
Copy !req
47. for all the dolphins
and whatnot.
Copy !req
48. In a river?
Copy !req
49. Everyone's gonna hate us.
Copy !req
50. People hate people
who hate the environment.
Copy !req
51. If we don't have an environment,
where will we do stuff?
Copy !req
52. Think about it.
Copy !req
53. Now, wait a minute.
Copy !req
54. Mr. Strickland made
a bad decision that, for now,
Copy !req
55. I am willing to believe
was an accident.
Copy !req
56. We just need to show people
Copy !req
57. that Strickland Propane
doesn't hate the environment.
Copy !req
58. Hank,
Copy !req
59. are you suggesting we go green?
Copy !req
60. Well, I'd rather not
put it that way, but yes.
Copy !req
61. Stop digging if you hit metal.
Copy !req
62. My dad says there are a lot of
unexploded ordnances back here.
Copy !req
63. Nice-looking tree, boys.
Copy !req
64. Thanks.
Copy !req
65. At first, it was all about
the extra credit.
Copy !req
66. But now, I'm kind of glad
we're helping the planet.
Copy !req
67. About that science teacher
of yours,
Copy !req
68. does he ever talk about,
uh, going green?
Copy !req
69. I don't know.
Copy !req
70. Do you ever talk about propane?
Copy !req
71. My point is, he talks
about it all the time.
Copy !req
72. I don't suppose you remember any
of the things he said, do you?
Copy !req
73. Dad, I have a bookbag full
of handouts you're gonna love.
Copy !req
74. Hit the deck!
Copy !req
75. My teacher says global warming
is serious business.
Copy !req
76. Look at all the pictures
of the Statue of Liberty
Copy !req
77. at the bottom of the ocean.
Copy !req
78. Okay, Bobby, let's skip
to the nuts and bolts.
Copy !req
79. Right.
Copy !req
80. It says here
a healthy planet starts
Copy !req
81. with turning off
your screen saver
Copy !req
82. when you leave your workstation.
Copy !req
83. But my flying toasters
keep me happy!
Copy !req
84. Huh.
Copy !req
85. This is not all
California nonsense.
Copy !req
86. Some of it's common sense stuff,
Copy !req
87. like recycling and using
more efficient light bulbs.
Copy !req
88. And, Mr.
Strickland,
Copy !req
89. about that little fridge
you keep in your office...
Copy !req
90. I am not drinking
a warm longneck!
Copy !req
91. Well, at least put
the door back on.
Copy !req
92. Fine.
Copy !req
93. Thanks for carpooling, you guys.
Copy !req
94. I know it's not
everybody's first choice,
Copy !req
95. but it's important
for the company.
Copy !req
96. Hey, I'm psyched, man!
Copy !req
97. Now we finally have
a chance to talk,
Copy !req
98. I mean, really talk,
about our hopes and our fears.
Copy !req
99. Uh, who wants to go first?
Copy !req
100. Hang in there, Mr. Strickland.
Copy !req
101. We'll be there soon.
Copy !req
102. Now, if you're not
gonna let me have
Copy !req
103. my own little bottles of water,
then we're all drinking
Copy !req
104. raspberry ice!
Copy !req
105. We better turn that dang air on,
or I'm going pant-less.
Copy !req
106. I'm sorry, Buck.
Copy !req
107. I don't know how to say
this diplomatically,
Copy !req
108. but you made a mistake,
Copy !req
109. and, well, fixing it
is not gonna be fun.
Copy !req
110. Buck needs to be more vigilant.
Copy !req
111. He put up a banner
saying we went green.
Copy !req
112. That's like a contract
with everyone who drives by.
Copy !req
113. Buck could always
take the easy way out
Copy !req
114. and just buy carbon offsets.
Copy !req
115. They're all the rage
in Hollywood.
Copy !req
116. That's the dream factory, Hank.
Copy !req
117. What the heck
is a carbon offset?
Copy !req
118. It's like
a "get out of jail free" card
Copy !req
119. for people concerned
about the environment,
Copy !req
120. but not concerned enough
to actually do anything.
Copy !req
121. You simply pay someone to
plant trees or build windmills
Copy !req
122. to offset all the carbon
you've dumped on the Earth.
Copy !req
123. That's ridiculous.
Copy !req
124. You can't cause a problem
and ask someone else to fix it.
Copy !req
125. You have to do the work
yourself,
Copy !req
126. like Bobby and Joseph
over there.
Copy !req
127. What?
Copy !req
128. Joseph doesn't work.
Copy !req
129. Well, normally Bobby
doesn't either,
Copy !req
130. but look at them,
working for free.
Copy !req
131. You really got to admire that.
Copy !req
132. Huh.
Copy !req
133. You most certainly do.
Copy !req
134. Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
135. Hello, Dale.
Copy !req
136. I assume you're just here
for a quick visit
Copy !req
137. since you're taking up
two parking spaces.
Copy !req
138. Your friend here just sold me
a mess of carbon offsets.
Copy !req
139. You did what?
Copy !req
140. Good news, Hank.
Copy !req
141. I'm in the carbon offset
business.
Copy !req
142. No, this isn't the way
to show customers we've changed.
Copy !req
143. We have a plan.
Copy !req
144. Sure, it's tedious and
unpleasant, but it will work.
Copy !req
145. Yeah, yeah, we gave your plan
a fair shot, ol' top.
Copy !req
146. It was time to cut our losses.
Copy !req
147. It was one clay.
Copy !req
148. Hank, this is a dream come true.
Copy !req
149. All the sanctimony
without all the effort.
Copy !req
150. Ah.
Copy !req
151. Smells like money.
Copy !req
152. Say, ol' top,
Copy !req
153. that truck of yours
is quite the gas guzzler.
Copy !req
154. How many offsets
can I put you down for?
Copy !req
155. You can put me down
for kicking your ass!
Copy !req
156. What kind of stupid
got-dang idea is this?
Copy !req
157. This is the perfect plan.
Copy !req
158. Strickland agreed
to let me plant the trees
Copy !req
159. on some land he isn't using;
Copy !req
160. Bobby and Joseph agreed
to do the planting;
Copy !req
161. and I agreed to take the money.
Copy !req
162. Buying carbon offsets isn't
gonna fix Strickland's image.
Copy !req
163. It's just cheating.
Copy !req
164. Who's to say what's cheating?
Copy !req
165. Is Leonardo DiCaprio cheating
when he offsets
Copy !req
166. riding around in a private jet?
Copy !req
167. Yes.
Copy !req
168. Oh, Hank, you just don't get it.
Copy !req
169. Planting carbon offsets
is great!
Copy !req
170. I feel like I can
already breathe better.
Copy !req
171. Whew!
Copy !req
172. I guess this is what happens
when God gets lazy
Copy !req
173. and humans have to pick up
the slack.
Copy !req
174. What else do you need
me to do for you?
Copy !req
175. Look, I know
we're tired and irritable...
Copy !req
176. Shut up, kid!
Copy !req
177. This is important.
Copy !req
178. I think we should buckle down
and keep working.
Copy !req
179. Who's with me?
Copy !req
180. You're talking so loud,
of course I'm in!
Copy !req
181. Octavio, I have a job for you.
Copy !req
182. Bring your shovel.
Copy !req
183. Oh, sorry, Mrs. Octavio.
Copy !req
184. You sound just like him.
Copy !req
185. Welcome to Strickland Propane.
Copy !req
186. The banner outside
says you're green.
Copy !req
187. What exactly are you doing
for the environment?
Copy !req
188. Well, quite a bit.
Copy !req
189. We have an employee carpool,
Copy !req
190. all our invoices are printed
on recycled paper,
Copy !req
191. and as you can tell,
Copy !req
192. the temperature in here
is slightly uncomfortable.
Copy !req
193. You're burying
the lead, ol' top.
Copy !req
194. Tell her about
the carbon offsets.
Copy !req
195. I don't think
Copy !req
196. she really wants
to hear about, uh...
Copy !req
197. Trees! Beautiful trees.
Copy !req
198. I'm planting a forest
of majestic oaks
Copy !req
199. and pines and whatnot.
Copy !req
200. And those trees are eating up
all that nasty carbon.
Copy !req
201. I respect that.
Copy !req
202. It's the next best thing
to us never having existed.
Copy !req
203. It's money out of my pocket, but
I'm doing it for the children.
Copy !req
204. You see, I got a kid somewhere.
Copy !req
205. So do I!
Copy !req
206. Well, I find
that hard to believe.
Copy !req
207. You take
the next customer, Hank.
Copy !req
208. I'm gonna handle
this one... personally.
Copy !req
209. I'm so excited to
start planting today!
Copy !req
210. I can't wait to see if
this blister's gonna hold on.
Copy !req
211. Kids, I've decided
that instead of planting,
Copy !req
212. you should focus
on selling carbon offsets.
Copy !req
213. Wouldn't we be doing
more good for the planet
Copy !req
214. if we were planting trees?
Copy !req
215. Octavio and I have
the planting covered.
Copy !req
216. Okay-
Copy !req
217. We're gonna run
out of trees soon, esé.
Copy !req
218. Should we go buy some more?
Copy !req
219. We got all the trees
we need, Octavio.
Copy !req
220. I mean, who knows
how many carbons
Copy !req
221. are soaked up by a single tree.
Copy !req
222. 17? 30 billion?
Copy !req
223. This one's pretty leafy,
but, you know,
Copy !req
224. I don't know, dude.
Copy !req
225. Nobody does!
Copy !req
226. So go get some lunch.
Copy !req
227. I don't care where
your school is going.
Copy !req
228. I'm not buying any more candy.
Copy !req
229. We're selling carbon offsets,
Mr. Souphanousinphone.
Copy !req
230. Now, I can pretty this up
for you
Copy !req
231. and tell you there's
plenty of air to go around,
Copy !req
232. but I see
that you're a smart man,
Copy !req
233. and you'd see
right through that.
Copy !req
234. You can keep ruining the world
and stuff,
Copy !req
235. and these offset thingies
make it okay.
Copy !req
236. This make me feel better
about taking 40-minute showers.
Copy !req
237. It's my "me" time.
Copy !req
238. Look at all these trees I sold.
Copy !req
239. Everyone in the neighborhood
bought offsets.
Copy !req
240. Oh, Bobby, it is so nice
to see you thinking
Copy !req
241. you're making a difference.
Copy !req
242. You know who bought
the most offsets of anyone?
Copy !req
243. Mr. Strickland.
Copy !req
244. The way to win
back our customers
Copy !req
245. is by making minor adjustments
to our daily regimen
Copy !req
246. that, over time, can make
a quantifiable difference.
Copy !req
247. Wow, Dad, between
all the dull stuff you're doing
Copy !req
248. and the exciting stuff
I'm doing,
Copy !req
249. we're going to save the world!
Copy !req
250. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
251. This is so random;
I buy offsets, too.
Copy !req
252. They are so important.
Copy !req
253. I just saw a documentary
about Antarctica.
Copy !req
254. If all the ice melts,
where will the penguins dance?
Copy !req
255. So true.
Copy !req
256. We have to go.
Copy !req
257. We're in a band,
and we're on our way
Copy !req
258. to Nashville
for the Earth Benefit Concert.
Copy !req
259. Wait, wait, wait!
Copy !req
260. You shouldn't be burning
all that awful carbon
Copy !req
261. by driving up to Nashville.
Copy !req
262. No, not when I'm organizing
Copy !req
263. one of them earthy benefit
concerts right here in Arlen.
Copy !req
264. Wow, you really get it.
Copy !req
265. Yeah, it'll be like Woodstock.
Copy !req
266. Y'all like mud, don't you?
Copy !req
267. Channel 84? Oh, God,
Copy !req
268. what else did they find
in the river?
Copy !req
269. They can't look in my locker
unless they're cops,
Copy !req
270. right, honey?
Copy !req
271. This earthy concert's going
to put us over the top, ol' top.
Copy !req
272. We'll never have to worry
about our reputation again.
Copy !req
273. We got to hurry
and wrap this up, suge.
Copy !req
274. There's a dog nursing
baby kittens across town.
Copy !req
275. Mr. Strickland,
you used to pollute,
Copy !req
276. but now you give a hoot.
Copy !req
277. Tell us how that happened.
Copy !req
278. I have sinned,
but I am a changed man.
Copy !req
279. I fell hard for a lovely lady
named Mother Earth.
Copy !req
280. And like any man in love,
I want the whole world to see
Copy !req
281. my beautiful woman
and her trees.
Copy !req
282. That's why I'm sponsoring
a benefit concert
Copy !req
283. two weeks from Saturday,
in majestic Strickland Woods!
Copy !req
284. A benefit concert.
Copy !req
285. That is one smart way
to pull Strickland's huevos
Copy !req
286. out of the frying pan.
Copy !req
287. I have found that live music
will make people
Copy !req
288. overlook anything.
Copy !req
289. Sting must do horrible things
Copy !req
290. for all the special concerts
that man puts on.
Copy !req
291. Well, I can't believe the kinds
of people I had to deal with
Copy !req
292. all week
getting this concert going.
Copy !req
293. Apparently,
right when you get out of jail,
Copy !req
294. you start renting port-a-johns.
Copy !req
295. I sold so many trees,
Copy !req
296. they should call Strickland
Woods "Strickland Forest."
Copy !req
297. Well, congratulations, Bobby.
Copy !req
298. You just put out your
first Mr. Strickland fire.
Copy !req
299. A couple hundred more
and you'll be tied with me.
Copy !req
300. Where are all the trees?
Copy !req
301. I don't know.
Copy !req
302. Mr. Gribble said he'd take care
of the planting
Copy !req
303. and for me to just worry
about the selling.
Copy !req
304. Well, on the bright side,
Copy !req
305. this is the scandal that will
finally take Buck down.
Copy !req
306. Dale, we were just at Strickland
Woods and there's nothing there.
Copy !req
307. How could you do this?
Copy !req
308. Well, I liked the money, but
didn't care for the digging.
Copy !req
309. After that the plan
sort of formed itself.
Copy !req
310. Buck's been telling everybody
he's planted a forest out there.
Copy !req
311. This was supposed to save
Strickland's image.
Copy !req
312. In my defense, things
get awfully muddy
Copy !req
313. when it comes
to the environment.
Copy !req
314. Hybrid cars get worse mileage
than older regular cars.
Copy !req
315. Ethanol causes food prices
to go up
Copy !req
316. and leads to riots
in other countries.
Copy !req
317. We were supposed to have
an ice age
Copy !req
318. unless people stopped
using pesticides.
Copy !req
319. Well, looky here.
It's still hot!
Copy !req
320. I'm not letting you
destroy the company
Copy !req
321. I've dedicated my life to.
Copy !req
322. You're going to go
and tell everyone
Copy !req
323. that you lied
and stole their money.
Copy !req
324. I'm kind of in the middle
of a beer, Hank.
Copy !req
325. Aah!
Copy !req
326. And this is where
I'll be hobnobbing
Copy !req
327. with all the celebrities.
Copy !req
328. I call it the Green Green Room.
Copy !req
329. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
330. Then I get lowered
onto the stage
Copy !req
331. by a helicopter powered
by vegetable oil.
Copy !req
332. Go on, Dale. Tell them
about the trees.
Copy !req
333. Yeah, about them,
Copy !req
334. some of those trees
might have to, you know,
Copy !req
335. quietly disappear to
make room for a stage.
Copy !req
336. Well, that's not going
to be a problem, sir.
Copy !req
337. There are no trees.
Copy !req
338. Dale took your money
and didn't plant anything.
Copy !req
339. Excuses, Hank...
Tell him the excuses.
Copy !req
340. I got thousands of people...
Copy !req
341. Including some very
attractive females...
Copy !req
342. Expecting music and trees!
Copy !req
343. We're in trouble.
Copy !req
344. We need a brainstorming
session, pronto.
Copy !req
345. Well, how about we tell everyone
the truth?
Copy !req
346. How about we simulate
a forest with one tree
Copy !req
347. and a thousand mirrors?
Copy !req
348. Well, now there's someone
using his noodle.
Copy !req
349. Hank, you're out.
Gribble, what else you got?
Copy !req
350. So this fellow's
going to save us, huh?
Copy !req
351. How do you know him, again?
Copy !req
352. He used to be in the gun club
until we kicked him out.
Copy !req
353. He kind of scared us;
he's way into guns.
Copy !req
354. Hey, Gribble.
Copy !req
355. How's your gun club?
Copy !req
356. Geez, let it go already.
Copy !req
357. Eh, nice piece of property
you got here.
Copy !req
358. What is she, a hundred acres?
Copy !req
359. She's not for sale.
Copy !req
360. Oh, we don't want to buy it.
Copy !req
361. We want to buy the carbon offset
rights to your trees.
Copy !req
362. You can't cut down my trees.
Copy !req
363. No, no, you don't understand.
Copy !req
364. We want these trees
to keep doing
Copy !req
365. exactly what they're doing...
Copy !req
366. Inhaling carbon
Copy !req
367. and exhaling oxygen.
Copy !req
368. And we want to pay you for it,
for the environment.
Copy !req
369. How is paying me going to help
the environment?
Copy !req
370. Well, hell if I know.
Copy !req
371. The important thing is
Copy !req
372. nothing's going to change
and you get paid.
Copy !req
373. I think we can work
something out.
Copy !req
374. Fantastic.
Copy !req
375. Oh, yeah,
Copy !req
376. and there's going to be
a concert here this weekend.
Copy !req
377. Should be a few thousand people,
not a big deal.
Copy !req
378. Buck and Dale
are just making things worse.
Copy !req
379. Now they've bought offset rights
to a forest that already exists.
Copy !req
380. It doesn't matter anyway.
Copy !req
381. People just want to make money.
Copy !req
382. Caring is for suckers.
Copy !req
383. Bobby is too young
to know that, Hank.
Copy !req
384. We have to do something.
Copy !req
385. Hey, it looks like your pecan
tree could use a little water.
Copy !req
386. What's the point?
Copy !req
387. I told you it'd work, ol' top.
Copy !req
388. Nobody knows where the real
Strickland Woods is.
Copy !req
389. Yep, it certainly looks like
Copy !req
390. you're going to get
away with this, sir.
Copy !req
391. Uh, how you all doing out there?
Copy !req
392. We're all here to have
a good time,
Copy !req
393. but let's not forget
the real reason we're here:
Copy !req
394. me!
Copy !req
395. I'm just like the Indian
Copy !req
396. who saw pollution
in that old commercial;
Copy !req
397. except instead of crying,
Copy !req
398. I got off my ass
and did something about it.
Copy !req
399. That's why I planted
all these trees.
Copy !req
400. Aw, I'm not a hero,
Copy !req
401. no, not at all.
Copy !req
402. I'm just one man who's trying
Copy !req
403. to single-handedly save
the planet.
Copy !req
404. Uh, sir, one of the
girls in the band
Copy !req
405. needs help with her costume.
Copy !req
406. Excuse me, folks.
I got some hobnobbing to do.
Copy !req
407. Hello, I'm Hank Hill.
Copy !req
408. Now, you're all here because
you care about the environment.
Copy !req
409. - The environment!
- That's right.
Copy !req
410. And that's why you deserve
the truth.
Copy !req
411. And, uh, the truth is,
Copy !req
412. these trees have been here
a long time.
Copy !req
413. No, no. You see, Strickland
Propane didn't plant them.
Copy !req
414. We just bought the offset rights
to them, whatever that means.
Copy !req
415. What I'm trying to say is,
we did nothing.
Copy !req
416. Leave only footprints!
Copy !req
417. Strickland! Strickland!
Strickland!
Copy !req
418. Ladies and gentlemen,
Big Mountain Fudge Cake.
Copy !req
419. And these stakes should support
the tree in any strong winds.
Copy !req
420. It'll be turning out oxygen
and pecans for years to come.
Copy !req
421. Thanks, Dad, but I don't see
how one tree is going to matter.
Copy !req
422. Well, I'm not going to lie
to you, Bobby.
Copy !req
423. One tree probably won't matter.
Copy !req
424. Oh, okay.
Copy !req
425. But if you care about something,
you can make a difference.
Copy !req
426. Don't let people
who take shortcuts
Copy !req
427. or only do something because
it's fashionable discourage you.
Copy !req
428. I won't.
Copy !req
429. So what's the ETA on
that first pecan pie?
Copy !req
430. Uh, it's going to be
a little while, Bobby.
Copy !req
431. Trees! Beautiful trees.
