1. You guys are in big, big trouble.
Copy !req
2. This is the worst offense I've seen
Copy !req
3. in my 14 years as
"C" fire investigator.
Copy !req
4. Dauterive, comma,
William Fontaine Delatur, comma,
Copy !req
5. sergeant barber, comma,
United States--
Copy !req
6. Comma, numbskull,
comma, shut up.
Copy !req
7. - Well, gotta go.
- Sit down!
Copy !req
8. Nobody's going anywhere
until I find out how this happened.
Copy !req
9. Now, according
to Heck Dorland's statement,
Copy !req
10. you were standing out behind your houses
doing some light yard work.
Copy !req
11. Bill called. He's gonna be late.
Copy !req
12. New batch of recruits started at the base
this morning. He's busy bagging hair.
Copy !req
13. There's old Heck Dorland
taking the fire truck out for a spin.
Copy !req
14. Lucky bunny.
Copy !req
15. I'm a fireman! I'm a--
Copy !req
16. The professional firefighters
got the red flu this morning,
Copy !req
17. leaving just us volunteers.
They're holding out for a raise.
Copy !req
18. They're striking?
Copy !req
19. Well, sir, fires don't go on strike,
I tell you what.
Copy !req
20. Heck came by the base
looking for volunteers,
Copy !req
21. I was the only one
the base commander let go.
Copy !req
22. What about the rest of you guys?
You interested?
Copy !req
23. You talking about firemen, man?
Dang old talking about, "Rampart 51."
Copy !req
24. Dang old Emergency. That dang old show's
on tape, man. I love that.
Copy !req
25. Fact: Volunteer firemen receive sirens
for their personal vehicles.
Copy !req
26. Fact: And we can use them
whenever we want.
Copy !req
27. Fact!
Copy !req
28. Dale, sirens are only
for fire emergencies.
Copy !req
29. Now, Heck, assuming I pass
the required courses,
Copy !req
30. and notify my insurance company
in writing,
Copy !req
31. will I get to drive the fire truck?
Copy !req
32. - You got any speeding tickets?
- No, sir.
Copy !req
33. I do!
Copy !req
34. Wow, look at that.
Copy !req
35. Spoons. Can I assume the potatoes
will be mashed tonight?
Copy !req
36. Bobby, your dad is a real fireman.
What do you think about that?
Copy !req
37. I'm a little surprised.
Copy !req
38. You know, you always seemed
to make such a big deal
Copy !req
39. about being a propane salesman.
Copy !req
40. I've got nights and weekends free.
I could be a fireman, too.
Copy !req
41. She's right, Hank. Deputize her.
Copy !req
42. No, Luanne can't be a fireman.
Copy !req
43. What if a very large man
was trapped in a burning building,
Copy !req
44. and she had to carry him out?
Copy !req
45. Then she would do
a fireperson's carry,
Copy !req
46. formerly known as a
"fireman's carry."
Copy !req
47. What's that?
Copy !req
48. It allows a woman
to lift a man's weight
Copy !req
49. through a scientific principle
that I like to call "leverage."
Copy !req
50. Come over here. I'll show you.
Copy !req
51. Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
52. Oh, no.
Copy !req
53. Peggy, are you okay?
Copy !req
54. Yes, of course I am.
Okay, let's eat.
Copy !req
55. I'll start the water flow.
Copy !req
56. Gribble, you're nozzle man,
so aim at the base of the flame.
Copy !req
57. - Come on, Dale! Straighten it out!
- I can't!
Copy !req
58. Watch where you're aiming.
Copy !req
59. - Handle the hose!
- What're you doing?
Copy !req
60. Pick it up!
Copy !req
61. Help!
Copy !req
62. Wasn't my fault.
My mask fogged up.
Copy !req
63. Damn it, Dale. The safety and welfare
of Arlen is at stake. Get serious.
Copy !req
64. Good idea, Beef. All right,
it's time you boys met the Jaws.
Copy !req
65. Jaws of Life a.k.a. the Jaws.
Copy !req
66. Victim's trapped in a car,
this baby will peel it like an orange.
Copy !req
67. Yeah? Let's see what it does
with a real orange.
Copy !req
68. Heck, I thought I'd go ahead
and sharpen all the axes.
Copy !req
69. ♪ Hank's a lumberjack
And he's okay ♪
Copy !req
70. Relax, Hank. We're off the clock.
Copy !req
71. Say hello to Chet Elderson,
one of Arlen's first volunteer firemen.
Copy !req
72. What an honor, sir. Hank Hill,
propane and propane accessories.
Copy !req
73. Ain't you the idiot
what blew up the Mega Lo Mart?
Copy !req
74. I was supposed
to take my vacation that week. Idiot.
Copy !req
75. Actually, sir, the idiot you're thinking of
was named Buckley.
Copy !req
76. Yeah, yeah. I'm retired now.
Copy !req
77. Who unplugged my sign?
Copy !req
78. Chet, you know you can't plug it in.
It don't work right.
Copy !req
79. I'll get it for you.
Copy !req
80. - How did I do, Bobby?
- Okay, go!
Copy !req
81. Oh, God.
Copy !req
82. That's good, boys.
You keep playing firemen.
Copy !req
83. - Peggy. let me help you.
- I'm fine. I've got it.
Copy !req
84. Did you hurt your leg?
Because you seem to be limping.
Copy !req
85. I have not noticed a limp.
Copy !req
86. Maybe it's because
I'm carrying a heavy bag.
Copy !req
87. Or maybe it has
something to do with
Copy !req
88. when you pulled your
groin picking me up.
Copy !req
89. Honey, I don't think
that could be true,
Copy !req
90. since ladies do not have groins.
Copy !req
91. All right,
let's talk about oxygen tanks.
Copy !req
92. The cylinder gauge should be within
how many p.s.i. of the regulator gauge?
Copy !req
93. Anyone?
Copy !req
94. I am protesting the results
of last night's Ping-Pong tournament.
Copy !req
95. Boomhauer cannot play the ball
off of Bill's head.
Copy !req
96. No, we all agreed my head's in play.
Copy !req
97. In the first round,
Copy !req
98. the Dallas Cowboys
select Bobby Hill, left tackle.
Copy !req
99. Hey, Dad.
Copy !req
100. I told you my dad was a fireman.
Copy !req
101. He's a volunteer.
Copy !req
102. Dad, we're muddy.
Could you hose us off?
Copy !req
103. Sure, I'll open up the hydrant.
Copy !req
104. Dale, the hydrants are
for fire emergencies.
Copy !req
105. They don't know how
to open the hydrant.
Copy !req
106. Because they're volunteers.
Copy !req
107. Son, you're about
to get very, very wet.
Copy !req
108. Fireman Gribble, drill time.
Get me the hydrant wrench.
Copy !req
109. Mr. Boomhauer, I need you to run
a 3-inch hose. Bill, hook it up.
Copy !req
110. It's stuck.
Copy !req
111. That's because you're turning it
the wrong way. Give me the wrench.
Copy !req
112. No, wait.
Copy !req
113. Shut it off!
Copy !req
114. - Damn it, Dale, you stripped the bolt.
- It wasn't me.
Copy !req
115. Get out of the dang old way, man.
Copy !req
116. Quit it, knucklehead.
The Jaws ain't for that.
Copy !req
117. So you were the ones
who busted that hydrant?
Copy !req
118. We got an anonymous call
it was a bunch of kids.
Copy !req
119. Bunch of kids? I gave you names:
Hill, Bobby, Gribble, Joseph.
Copy !req
120. - It was Dale's fault.
- It was Dale who took the Jaws of Life.
Copy !req
121. Oh, God!
Copy !req
122. The hydrant's the least of our problems.
He doesn't care about that.
Copy !req
123. He's right, I don't. You half-wits
could be looking at jail time.
Copy !req
124. My name is Shackelford,
Rusty Shackelford.
Copy !req
125. I refuse to speak
without my attorney present.
Copy !req
126. I am Mr. Shackelford's attorney,
Rusty Shackelford.
Copy !req
127. My client pleads insanity.
Copy !req
128. My name is Dauterive, comma, Bill,
and I am also insane.
Copy !req
129. Gribble, you've had your phone call.
Copy !req
130. I know, but now I'm making one
as Shackelford.
Copy !req
131. You see what I have to deal with?
Copy !req
132. Let's just get back
to the matter at hand.
Copy !req
133. After you broke the fire hydrant...
Copy !req
134. Please, guys, we've been given
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here.
Copy !req
135. Now let's not do anything more
to screw this up.
Copy !req
136. Now, how about running
some ladder-carry drills?
Copy !req
137. Not interested. You pushed me aside,
Copy !req
138. made me look like a fool
in front of my own flesh and blood.
Copy !req
139. Hey, Sage,
plug in my Alamo sign, will you?
Copy !req
140. Better not, Dale.
Remember, it doesn't work right.
Copy !req
141. I said not to.
Copy !req
142. I found a cupboard
with all kinds of jerky in it.
Copy !req
143. You know, I'll bet
we could use this lid as a Frisbee.
Copy !req
144. Catch, Hank.
Copy !req
145. What? That dang old ear, man.
What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
146. I mean, dang old
Fatty Belt-buckle, man.
Copy !req
147. What the...
Copy !req
148. What's going on in here?
Copy !req
149. I'll take care of it.
Boomhauer, put some ice on that ear.
Copy !req
150. Bill, you fix the window.
Copy !req
151. - Dale--
- No, no more orders.
Copy !req
152. Heck, I cannot work with this man here.
I want a transfer.
Copy !req
153. Dale, shut up.
You're acting like an idiot.
Copy !req
154. That's enough!
Copy !req
155. Now, either you guys get along,
or I'll find four others who can.
Copy !req
156. Health care for striking firefighters!
Copy !req
157. Aunt Peggy, it looks like
your groins are still hurting you.
Copy !req
158. I just need to spend the night icing it.
Copy !req
159. Thank God Hank's sleeping
at the fire station tonight.
Copy !req
160. Why don't you just admit to him
that you hurt yourself picking up Bobby?
Copy !req
161. Honey, you've never been married.
Copy !req
162. Now, who left the... What?
Copy !req
163. What the hell...
Copy !req
164. You can't use the fire hose like this.
You'll damage the elasticity.
Copy !req
165. What you got under the foil,
Mr. Party Pooper? Some party poop?
Copy !req
166. Peggy made some
Frito pie for us.
Copy !req
167. Hey, yo.
Copy !req
168. Hey, Dale, I was ahead
when Hank ruined our game.
Copy !req
169. - So I win, right?
- Wrong. You automatically lose,
Copy !req
170. but I'll go double or nothing
on the Ping-Pong court.
Copy !req
171. - All right.
- Okay.
Copy !req
172. Okay, fellas, time to hit the hay.
Knock it off.
Copy !req
173. - Game's not over yet.
- Pick it up tomorrow.
Copy !req
174. Hey, man, heads up.
I got old hot Frito pie, man.
Copy !req
175. Give me the ball, damn it.
Copy !req
176. There.
Copy !req
177. There.
Copy !req
178. Dang it, Bill,
that was my only pair of glasses.
Copy !req
179. Dang it, Hank, that was our only ball.
Copy !req
180. Hey, man,
I was dang old scarfing on that, man.
Copy !req
181. My face hurts.
Copy !req
182. And it'll match your ass
when I'm done kicking it.
Copy !req
183. Get down here. I'm gonna...
Copy !req
184. No fair, Hank. I'm stuck.
Copy !req
185. Hey!
Copy !req
186. Good night.
Copy !req
187. Are you guys playing
with that busted ball now?
Copy !req
188. I got bad news, men.
Copy !req
189. Chet Elderson died.
Natural causes.
Copy !req
190. - What a shame.
- Bummer, man.
Copy !req
191. Very sad.
Copy !req
192. For crying out loud!
Copy !req
193. Come on, Hank.
Pick up the pace.
Copy !req
194. I can't see where I'm going.
Damn you, Bill.
Copy !req
195. Dang old disrespectful, man.
Lift, Bill, man.
Copy !req
196. I am! It's Dale, he's faking it.
Copy !req
197. Am not.
Copy !req
198. Dale, no wonder my end
feels so heavy.
Copy !req
199. - Get your hands on the casket.
- It's bad luck.
Copy !req
200. Told you it was bad luck.
Copy !req
201. - Hank, I want to offer--
- Don't.
Copy !req
202. I mean, I just wanted to--
Copy !req
203. No, you cannot speak
to me ever again.
Copy !req
204. That goes for me, too, faker.
Copy !req
205. Why don't you eat some more pizza?
That's all you ever do is eat pizza.
Copy !req
206. No wonder you're bald
and your wife left you.
Copy !req
207. That old dang old amen, man.
Copy !req
208. Hey, I'm burned.
Copy !req
209. All of you, go to bed.
Copy !req
210. It's 4:00 in the afternoon.
Copy !req
211. What did I tell you
about talking to me?
Copy !req
212. Stop the fighting!
Copy !req
213. This is no way to honor the
memory of Chet Elderson.
Copy !req
214. I think I shall honor Chet's memory
Copy !req
215. by plugging in his
beloved Alamo Beer sign.
Copy !req
216. Code 44:
Goobersmooches Restaurant,
Copy !req
217. Engine 91, respond.
Copy !req
218. Code 44. Our first fire.
Let's go. Move it out!
Copy !req
219. Fire's out, men.
Copy !req
220. Well...
Copy !req
221. That's good, I guess.
Copy !req
222. I was down the street
having a plaque made.
Copy !req
223. I thought we'd rename the station
"Chet Elderson Firehouse,"
Copy !req
224. since he didn't get a decent burial.
Copy !req
225. - They're calling all units.
- Where is it?
Copy !req
226. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
227. Where do you want us, chief?
Copy !req
228. Back in the grave
with Chet Elderson.
Copy !req
229. I hereby dedicate you
the Chet Elderson Firehouse.
Copy !req
230. Sir, I've kept a journal
of all the violations
Copy !req
231. these three nincompoops
have committed,
Copy !req
232. and I'll be glad to turn it over--
Copy !req
233. I've read that journal. It's all lies.
Copy !req
234. Hank did it. Bill did it, too.
I begged them not to.
Copy !req
235. God, you chicken-necked ass!
I'll kill you!
Copy !req
236. For heaven's sake!
Copy !req
237. I thought you guys
had reached your peak
Copy !req
238. when you pantsed Chet Elderson
at his funeral.
Copy !req
239. But then you outdid yourself
by burning down your own firehouse!
Copy !req
240. Not me. It was these screw-ups.
Copy !req
241. Maybe this is the wrong time
to bring this up,
Copy !req
242. but we are only volunteers.
Copy !req
243. We're going to go over
every minute of what happened
Copy !req
244. before you lamebrains
left for Goobersmooches.
Copy !req
245. Then I'll know which one of you
to bring up on charges.
Copy !req
246. Gribble, you first.
Copy !req
247. Well, as usual, I was performing
Copy !req
248. rigorous fire-safety checks
on the station house.
Copy !req
249. Bill had his face
buried in a French bread pizza.
Copy !req
250. Hank was giving orders for a change.
Copy !req
251. ...70 seconds to get yourselves
squared away before I take...
Copy !req
252. And Boomhauer
thought being a fireman
Copy !req
253. meant a chance to work on his tan.
Copy !req
254. Of course, he didn't realize
his tanning lotion had been replaced
Copy !req
255. with some Icy Hot Hank bought...
Copy !req
256. for Peggy's humiliating groin pull.
Copy !req
257. But then the fire alarm went off.
Copy !req
258. And Boomhauer knocked over
his tanning lamp...
Copy !req
259. as he bolted upright.
Copy !req
260. I raced for the fire truck
with lightning speed.
Copy !req
261. That's all I remember.
Copy !req
262. No way, man.
No Gribble old crazy crap, man.
Copy !req
263. I'll tell you what happened.
The dang old truth.
Copy !req
264. Bill, man, threw the lid,
boom, right on my ear, man.
Copy !req
265. Any day you want
a dang old detector, man.
Copy !req
266. Gall-darn government take away
freedom of smoke, man.
Copy !req
267. I'll tell you what,
the dang old yo, man.
Copy !req
268. I'll tell you what,
the dang old boy ain't right, man.
Copy !req
269. Talking about kicking some dang old ass,
man, that old dang...
Copy !req
270. For God's sake, Hank,
act like an adult, man.
Copy !req
271. And keep it down, guys, will you?
Copy !req
272. I'm trying to get through an article
on vintage Camaros,
Copy !req
273. and I've been on the same dang page
for 20 minutes.
Copy !req
274. Dang old pretty, pretty pizza.
I would, I tell you what.
Copy !req
275. So you're saying that
Bill left the oven on?
Copy !req
276. Not true.
Copy !req
277. Okay. I have a
weakness for pizza.
Copy !req
278. I have a lot of weaknesses, actually.
Copy !req
279. But I distinctly remember
turning off the toaster oven.
Copy !req
280. Let's see.
Then I had myself a little dessert.
Copy !req
281. Oh, my.
Copy !req
282. Okay, so I turned off the toaster oven,
just like I said.
Copy !req
283. What happened
after the fire alarm went off?
Copy !req
284. I was in the garage
getting bunkered out.
Copy !req
285. Dale was on the tailboard
switching the oxygen tanks...
Copy !req
286. What do you mean
switching the tanks?
Copy !req
287. Why would you switch
the oxygen tanks?
Copy !req
288. Let's face it.
Copy !req
289. Me, Bill, and Boomhauer
had no idea what we were doing.
Copy !req
290. You're the only real fireman among us.
Copy !req
291. I saw your tank was running low,
Copy !req
292. mine was full, and I knew
you'd need every molecule of oxygen
Copy !req
293. to carry our charred bodies
out of that raging inferno.
Copy !req
294. So the fire could
have been caused
Copy !req
295. by Gribble's smoking,
Boomhauer's tanning,
Copy !req
296. or Dauterive's incessant cooking.
Copy !req
297. It could have been, but it wasn't.
And I'll tell you why it wasn't.
Copy !req
298. We had finally realized
our boyhood dreams.
Copy !req
299. We had become firefighters.
Copy !req
300. Except instead of fighting fires,
we were busy fighting each other.
Copy !req
301. Anyway, the fire alarm went off...
Copy !req
302. and I sprung into action.
I switched off the lamp,
Copy !req
303. turned off the stove,
and put out the cigarette.
Copy !req
304. I ran toward the fire truck
and I saw Dale fiddling in the back.
Copy !req
305. I didn't know that he was busy
switching the oxygen tanks.
Copy !req
306. Awfully nice thing of him to do since
we weren't even on speaking terms.
Copy !req
307. Still aren't.
Copy !req
308. Then I put my blinker on
to pull out.
Copy !req
309. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
310. I remember seeing
some kind of yellow light in the mirror.
Copy !req
311. I know what caused the fires.
Copy !req
312. Somebody plugged in
that stupid Alamo Beer sign.
Copy !req
313. And I'll tell you
who that somebody had to be.
Copy !req
314. That somebody had to be...
Copy !req
315. - Chet Elderson.
- I did not...
Copy !req
316. Chet Elderson!
Copy !req
317. Yup, Chet was always trying to plug it in.
He loved that sign.
Copy !req
318. Burt the dang thing didn't work right.
It threw off sparks and...
Copy !req
319. It was just a real fire hazard.
Copy !req
320. Isn't that right, Dale?
Copy !req
321. Yes, Chet Elderson must have plugged
that sign in
Copy !req
322. the last time he was at the station.
Copy !req
323. What a moron!
May he rest in peace.
Copy !req
324. - Right, Bill?
- Right. Yeah, that sounds like Chet.
Copy !req
325. Tell you what, don't go dragging
old Chet's name through the mud.
Copy !req
326. Old Dale's the one who did it, man.
You ought to leave old Chet alone, man.
Copy !req
327. So, each and every one of you believes
that Chet Elderson started that fire?
Copy !req
328. Well, it doesn't surprise me.
Copy !req
329. I told him a half a dozen times
not to plug in that sign.
Copy !req
330. I don't know.
Chet was one heck of a fireman.
Copy !req
331. I hate to soil his good name.
Copy !req
332. Guess we could just
call it an electrical fire.
Copy !req
333. - Accidents do happen.
- Good idea. That's what we'll do.
Copy !req
334. You're free to go.
Copy !req
335. I heard Mrs. Throckmorton's
looking to hire four plumbers.
Copy !req
336. No!
Copy !req
337. It's all the beer we can drink.
Copy !req
338. - Okay, I could use a beer.
- Yup.
Copy !req
339. Yup.
Copy !req
340. Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
