1. Ripped By mstoll
Copy !req
2. Yeah.
Copy !req
3. Nancy got me a new DVD:
Copy !req
4. Reach For Your Life with
Master Stretcher John Brandy.
Copy !req
5. Six weeks, and I'll have
a spine like a Slinky.
Copy !req
6. Man, I talkin' 'bout...
Copy !req
7. man, tight on my back, man.
Copy !req
8. Okay, new alley protocol.
Copy !req
9. All future stretching
should be done alone
Copy !req
10. and out of public view.
Copy !req
11. Good afternoon.
Copy !req
12. Uh, buenos días.
Copy !req
13. I need four to fix up a house.
Copy !req
14. Cuatro.
Copy !req
15. Hey, this
is Mrs. Dwyer's house.
Copy !req
16. Old Mrs. Dwyer sure did
like concrete amphibians.
Copy !req
17. It's a shame one
ended up killing her.
Copy !req
18. You the buyer?
Copy !req
19. Oh, you speak English.
Copy !req
20. No, I'm her nephew, Eric,
from Minneapolis.
Copy !req
21. My condolences.
Copy !req
22. I lived next door to your aunt.
Copy !req
23. What a nice lady.
Copy !req
24. We used to chat about puppies
Copy !req
25. and serial killers
through the fence.
Copy !req
26. Wait a... hold...
Copy !req
27. I thought you were day laborers.
Copy !req
28. I just need to get the house
Copy !req
29. on the market
as soon as possible.
Copy !req
30. You know any day laborers?
Copy !req
31. Well, I know four day craftsmen,
Copy !req
32. and they're standing
right in front of you.
Copy !req
33. Eric...
Copy !req
34. here's the situation so far.
Copy !req
35. Given the roof area,
your downspouts
Copy !req
36. simply don't match your
drainage needs, and I'm...
Copy !req
37. Look, all I care about
is curb appeal.
Copy !req
38. I mean, seriously, do people
really look at downspouts?
Copy !req
39. You had us there for a second,
Copy !req
40. I tell you what.
Copy !req
41. Good.
Copy !req
42. Now, stare at your belly
Copy !req
43. and pretend it's not a baby,
Copy !req
44. but something cute like a puppy.
Copy !req
45. Uncle Hank,
Copy !req
46. you're being
in my pregnancy photos!
Copy !req
47. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
48. We're getting
Dotty's place fixed up.
Copy !req
49. It's gonna look pretty good
Copy !req
50. once we strip away the layer
of old lady.
Copy !req
51. Leg!
Copy !req
52. Kahn, that is fresh sod.
Copy !req
53. You worry about grass,
Copy !req
54. I worry who move
into this house.
Copy !req
55. Last thing we need
is more rednecks.
Copy !req
56. I just hope it's not
another Army guy.
Copy !req
57. That's kind of my thing.
Copy !req
58. Yeah, well,
I put up flyer for house
Copy !req
59. at Nine Rivers Country Club.
Copy !req
60. Not to make light
of old lady's death,
Copy !req
61. but one redneck neighbor
down, four to go.
Copy !req
62. This sweet little house
all spiffed up
Copy !req
63. reminds me why I love
this neighborhood.
Copy !req
64. It's the people.
Copy !req
65. People with a pride of ownership
Copy !req
66. and a sense of community
and respect for one another.
Copy !req
67. It's got-dang beautiful,
I tell you what.
Copy !req
68. So true.
Copy !req
69. We should do this
to Bill's house
Copy !req
70. when he dies.
Copy !req
71. Well, how about that?
Copy !req
72. Sold in one day.
Copy !req
73. Lucky, looks like you officially
Copy !req
74. have the worst house
in the neighborhood.
Copy !req
75. Well, from an investment
standpoint,
Copy !req
76. there's no better place to be.
Copy !req
77. I hope these new neighbors
Copy !req
78. aren't sourpusses
about loud music.
Copy !req
79. I just got a new whammy bar.
Copy !req
80. Well, I imagine any person
Copy !req
81. who appreciates
fine craftsmanship
Copy !req
82. will probably be
a fine neighbor, too.
Copy !req
83. Morning, Baron.
Copy !req
84. Count... Captain.
Copy !req
85. Mr. Turtlebee.
Copy !req
86. Hey, you, shut it down.
Copy !req
87. I have a work order
to demo the premises.
Copy !req
88. Oh, don't tell me
I got the wrong address again.
Copy !req
89. Ted!
Copy !req
90. Wonderful to see you.
Copy !req
91. Wait, can it be true?
Copy !req
92. You bought this house?
Copy !req
93. Indeed, Kahn.
Copy !req
94. I did acquire this property.
Copy !req
95. And today I'm breaking ground
Copy !req
96. on what some people
refer to as a "dream home."
Copy !req
97. Proceed.
Copy !req
98. Incredible!
Copy !req
99. When I put up flyer
at Nine Rivers,
Copy !req
100. I thought maybe we'd be lucky
Copy !req
101. to get somebody's
broke uncle to move here.
Copy !req
102. Maybe, but I never
dreamed we'd snag
Copy !req
103. the big kahuna himself,
Ted Wassonasong.
Copy !req
104. Whoo.
Copy !req
105. They don't build them
like that anymore.
Copy !req
106. This is ridiculous.
Copy !req
107. I think I've actually breathed
cleaner air in Houston.
Copy !req
108. What's the matter, rednecks?
Copy !req
109. Progress got you down?
Copy !req
110. Just think, one day soon,
I will be able
Copy !req
111. to say two words
I've longed to say to Ted...
Copy !req
112. "Hey, neighbor."
Copy !req
113. What is so got-dang great
Copy !req
114. about living next
to Ted Wassonasong?
Copy !req
115. Looking at him is like listening
to smooth jazz.
Copy !req
116. Well, gotta go make
fresh pot of green tea.
Copy !req
117. Ted's using my bathroom
Copy !req
118. and Internet
during construction.
Copy !req
119. It's like a fantasy.
Copy !req
120. Bobby, look at those guys.
Copy !req
121. They're not working.
Copy !req
122. They're littering
Copy !req
123. and peeing everywhere and...
and scarfing junk food.
Copy !req
124. Construction is a dream job.
Copy !req
125. This is why they tell us
to stay in school...
Copy !req
126. So we don't find out
how great working is.
Copy !req
127. Man, that dude
had a lot to drink.
Copy !req
128. This can't be good.
Copy !req
129. Maybe we should move
down the alley.
Copy !req
130. Nope, this is our spot,
Copy !req
131. and we are holding our ground.
Copy !req
132. Hit it.
Copy !req
133. It's man's most disgusting act
in reverse.
Copy !req
134. Stand your ground.
Copy !req
135. Yeah, but...
Hold!
Copy !req
136. Look at the size
of that foundation.
Copy !req
137. I don't think they left room
for a lawn.
Copy !req
138. No lawn.
Copy !req
139. How are you holding up, Bill?
Copy !req
140. Not so good.
Copy !req
141. The constant loud noises
Copy !req
142. have made me realize
how much I miss my wife.
Copy !req
143. Pardon my dust.
Copy !req
144. Here, I got you all something
I thought you'd like.
Copy !req
145. Peach chardonnay?
Copy !req
146. You're welcome.
Copy !req
147. Care to see
what all the fuss is about?
Copy !req
148. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
149. It's a McMansion.
Copy !req
150. Looks like a bank.
Copy !req
151. No, a church.
Copy !req
152. Wait, a casino?
Copy !req
153. I don't know what the hell
I'm looking at.
Copy !req
154. This?
Copy !req
155. This is your dream home?
Copy !req
156. No, not for me.
Copy !req
157. I am creating
someone else's dream.
Copy !req
158. It's what's called
a speculation house.
Copy !req
159. You didn't think I
was moving here.
Copy !req
160. Of course, we didn't, Ted.
Copy !req
161. You're like a movie star,
and we're... we're...
Copy !req
162. Oh, God, I'm gonna miss us!
Copy !req
163. Uh... okay.
Copy !req
164. Can I still use
your facsimile machine?
Copy !req
165. We can't just sit here
Copy !req
166. and let this happen
to our neighborhood.
Copy !req
167. We've got to stop this thing.
Copy !req
168. I need that chardonnay, please.
Copy !req
169. And as you can see,
Copy !req
170. our homes are of modest size.
Copy !req
171. Nobody has more room
than they need.
Copy !req
172. Some have less, but they're
better people for it.
Copy !req
173. And then, there's this.
Copy !req
174. Five bedrooms,
five and a half baths
Copy !req
175. in over 4,600 square feet
of obnoxiousness.
Copy !req
176. Mr. Hill,
are you telling me
Copy !req
177. there are five bathrooms
in this house?
Copy !req
178. Yep, as asinine as it sounds.
Copy !req
179. And are they en suite?
Copy !req
180. Uh, I don't know
what that means.
Copy !req
181. Mr. Hill, I play golf twice
a week with Ted Wassonasong.
Copy !req
182. I am sure he's done
everything by the book.
Copy !req
183. Affirmative.
Copy !req
184. Yeah, but there
is one pending matter.
Copy !req
185. Do you know which agent
has the listing?
Copy !req
186. We've tried
the gentlemanly route,
Copy !req
187. now we get tough.
Copy !req
188. May I please
have the requisite forms
Copy !req
189. for a legal petition?
Copy !req
190. I've been here
for, like, forever,
Copy !req
191. and I've only seen
a petition work once.
Copy !req
192. And it was for, like, a drinking
fountain or something.
Copy !req
193. You know who you should talk to
Copy !req
194. is Edgar Hornsby.
Copy !req
195. He was the master
at finding legal loopholes.
Copy !req
196. Now we're talkin'.
Copy !req
197. Where can I find him?
Copy !req
198. They say he's been dead
for, like, 11 years.
Copy !req
199. I heard he's been
dead for 18 years,
Copy !req
200. but he still got his full
paycheck until last month.
Copy !req
201. Benefits and everything.
Copy !req
202. Well, according to this,
Copy !req
203. he's up on the third floor.
Copy !req
204. Mr. Hornsby?
Copy !req
205. Who wants to know?
Copy !req
206. Well, I'm Hank Hill
and we need your help.
Copy !req
207. Someone is building
a jackass McMansion
Copy !req
208. that's gonna destroy
our neighborhood.
Copy !req
209. Cursed McMansions.
Copy !req
210. It would be my pleasure
to aid in your fight.
Copy !req
211. Let's try railroad
right-of-ways.
Copy !req
212. Any abandoned tracks
on the property?
Copy !req
213. No.
Copy !req
214. Native Americans lived there?
Visited?
Copy !req
215. No.
Copy !req
216. Ah, the Grushaw Act.
Copy !req
217. Was anyone
violently murdered there?
Copy !req
218. Okay, have two former presidents
ever shook hands there?
Copy !req
219. Uh, no.
Copy !req
220. Gentlemen, you could
spend hours, even days,
Copy !req
221. watching me scoot around
in my chair
Copy !req
222. looking for a loophole.
Copy !req
223. And I might take pleasure
in that, but there's no point.
Copy !req
224. You're screwed.
Copy !req
225. Hey, man, how about you let me
take that dang ol',
Copy !req
226. try that chair, man?
Copy !req
227. Two breakfast burritos.
Copy !req
228. Right here, Manny...
And hey,
Copy !req
229. good coffee today.
Copy !req
230. Uh-oh, babe alert!
Copy !req
231. Come and get it!
Lookin' good sugar!
Copy !req
232. Hey, mama!
Copy !req
233. Last time I shaved my legs,
Copy !req
234. this house didn't even have
a second floor.
Copy !req
235. Still smooth.
Copy !req
236. Really smooth.
Copy !req
237. Ted's using cheap
building materials, too.
Copy !req
238. It's all spackle
and chicken wire.
Copy !req
239. I don't remember ever
hearing them pound in a nail.
Copy !req
240. And I practically
live inside that house.
Copy !req
241. Maybe they hot glued
it together.
Copy !req
242. I'm not sure how much
more I can take.
Copy !req
243. I miss the sun.
Copy !req
244. I'm tired a lot because my body
Copy !req
245. thinks it's always night.
Copy !req
246. Well, I like it.
Copy !req
247. I feel like we fell down a hole
into a fairy tale,
Copy !req
248. and now we live
next to a beautiful castle.
Copy !req
249. I can't tell
if the burgers are done,
Copy !req
250. because there's a got-dang
turret shadow across my grill.
Copy !req
251. Hey, Luanne.
Copy !req
252. I've decided
Copy !req
253. I want the baby's first smell
Copy !req
254. to be a cinnamon roll.
Copy !req
255. Oh, that's a great idea.
Copy !req
256. Egress!
Copy !req
257. Let go of my house!
Copy !req
258. Devil house!
Copy !req
259. First you take my daylight,
now you want my blood?
Copy !req
260. Everyone step back!
Copy !req
261. This thing's falling apart!
Copy !req
262. It's the end of days!
Copy !req
263. I'm going to get my camera.
Copy !req
264. This story just might be tragic
enough to be on the news.
Copy !req
265. My house!
Copy !req
266. We're gonna die!
Copy !req
267. Okay, we have no choice.
Copy !req
268. We've got to take
this house down
Copy !req
269. before it takes us down.
Copy !req
270. Heck of a storm last night.
Copy !req
271. Your homeowner's
should cover it.
Copy !req
272. It was an act of God,
an angry, vengeful God.
Copy !req
273. This was no act of God.
Copy !req
274. Look at those
sledgehammer marks.
Copy !req
275. It was the act of rednecks
on a drunken rampage.
Copy !req
276. We don't have anything to hide.
Copy !req
277. The only one who did something
wrong here was you.
Copy !req
278. Your shoddy McMansion
was gonna destroy our homes.
Copy !req
279. We only took it down
in self-defense.
Copy !req
280. And for the record,
nobody was drunk.
Copy !req
281. There's a chance
Copy !req
282. I may not have been
within the legal limits.
Copy !req
283. I'll see you in court.
Copy !req
284. Or more likely in the office
of a retired judge,
Copy !req
285. as these issues
tend to go to arbitration.
Copy !req
286. This next exhibit, Exhibit 42,
Copy !req
287. will demonstrate the inferior
Copy !req
288. tensile strength
of Mr. Wassonasong's fiberboard
Copy !req
289. to that of construction-grade
plywood.
Copy !req
290. Here, go ahead and pass
these around.
Copy !req
291. Now, for those unfamiliar
with tensile strength ratings,
Copy !req
292. I have put together
a stress versus strain graph.
Copy !req
293. Mr. Hill, when is this
Copy !req
294. trip the hardware store
going to end?
Copy !req
295. Hank is stinking up the place
Copy !req
296. with all his boring
facts and figures.
Copy !req
297. People want damning evidence
Copy !req
298. and courtroom drama.
Copy !req
299. He needs to throw
a briefcase like Mr. Brady.
Copy !req
300. Something.
Copy !req
301. Now is the time the late, great,
Copy !req
302. gay Perry Mason would
spring a surprise witness.
Copy !req
303. Yes, a surprise witness.
Copy !req
304. In my opinion, this
was a justifiable act,
Copy !req
305. as was set forth in
the 1921 landmark case,
Copy !req
306. Addison Petroleum
v. McConnaughy.
Copy !req
307. Whereby homeowners
were allowed to tear down
Copy !req
308. tilting oil derricks
Copy !req
309. which posed an immediate threat
to their property.
Copy !req
310. Your Honor, it's all
right there in the book.
Copy !req
311. Which I need back
when you're done pawing at it.
Copy !req
312. I have no bias
toward house size.
Copy !req
313. I, myself,
have a very big house.
Copy !req
314. A judge should have
a very big house.
Copy !req
315. That said,
Copy !req
316. this court rules in favor
of the defendants,
Copy !req
317. and does not hold them liable
for any damages.
Copy !req
318. Court is adjourned.
Copy !req
319. All right! Way to go!
Yay! We won!
Copy !req
320. Hey there, Ted.
Copy !req
321. I hope you're not planning
Copy !req
322. on going higher
than one-story this time.
Copy !req
323. Actually, it is not I
Copy !req
324. who will be
engaging in new construction,
Copy !req
325. but rather, the city.
Copy !req
326. Are you aware
of the term "eminent domain"?
Copy !req
327. Yeah, that's where
the government
Copy !req
328. buys your property
for public use,
Copy !req
329. but really they're
doing it for kickbacks
Copy !req
330. from companies who sign lucrative
development contracts.
Copy !req
331. Correct.
Copy !req
332. You see, I found out
Copy !req
333. two can play
the Edgar Hornsby game.
Copy !req
334. He dug up an ancient
Copy !req
335. eminent domain statute
that allowed me
Copy !req
336. to sell the lot to the city.
Copy !req
337. Gentlemen, enjoy your
new power substation.
Copy !req
338. This is terrible!
Copy !req
339. I thought I was gonna live next
to a powerful man.
Copy !req
340. Now I just live next to power.
Copy !req
341. It's not all bad.
Copy !req
342. At least we'll get
fresh electricity.
Copy !req
343. I know it's ugly,
Copy !req
344. but living next door
to a power station
Copy !req
345. means our baby will probably
Copy !req
346. grow up to have super powers.
Copy !req
347. And that will come in handy.
Copy !req
348. Lucky's always getting
pinned under cars.
Copy !req
349. Ah, there she is, my substation.
Copy !req
350. God, I love saying
"my substation."
Copy !req
351. That thing is
a got-dang eyesore.
Copy !req
352. I mean, I don't want
Ted's monstrosity back,
Copy !req
353. but this is a residential
neighborhood, after all.
Copy !req
354. Well, I do know
of a legal precedent
Copy !req
355. involving a public utility
and a dairy farm.
Copy !req
356. I'll tell you on one condition:
Copy !req
357. nobody messes with my plaque.
Copy !req
358. I swear, if it wasn't
for the possibility
Copy !req
359. of being electrocuted,
I'd buy this house.
Copy !req
360. Well, I'll take a fake house
Copy !req
361. over a big, ugly one any day.
Copy !req
362. My head feels funny.
Copy !req
363. Does it look swollen to you?
Copy !req
364. Probably just the stress
of this whole ordeal.
Copy !req
365. Ripped By mstoll
