1. Good old mason 1500.
Copy !req
2. Handles like
the day I bought her.
Copy !req
3. I tell you what,
Copy !req
4. this is the only mower
I'd want with me
Copy !req
5. if I were ever stranded on a desert island.
Copy !req
6. You are gonna kill
Copy !req
7. at that lawn mower
focus group tomorrow, hank.
Copy !req
8. Now, dale, a focus group
is not a competition.
Copy !req
9. It's a chance for the informed
lawn mower consumer
Copy !req
10. to give valuable input
to the mason corporation
Copy !req
11. in a comfortable
mall setting.
Copy !req
12. Well, I think it's just an honor
to be invited.
Copy !req
13. You know, I'll tell you why
we've gotta go tomorrow.
Copy !req
14. Look at your average
pickup truck.
Copy !req
15. With air bags
and vanity mirrors,
Copy !req
16. it's one focus group away from turning
into a powder room.
Copy !req
17. We can't let that happen
to the mason 1500.
Copy !req
18. We sure can't, can we?
Copy !req
19. bill, the only reason
Copy !req
20. I invited dale and boomhauer
and not you
Copy !req
21. is 'cause you're coming over
for thanksgiving dinner,
Copy !req
22. and I didn't want
you to get sick of me.
Copy !req
23. oh, hank, I will
never be sick of you.
Copy !req
24. Not even when we're sharing a cloud in heaven.
Copy !req
25. all right, you can come.
Copy !req
26. But when I make a point,
just nod.
Copy !req
27. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
28. hank, you asked me
to tell you
Copy !req
29. when celine dion
is off the field. She's off.
Copy !req
30. thanks, mom.
Copy !req
31. aren't moms great?
Copy !req
32. yeah, they are.
Uh-huh
Copy !req
33. I tell you what
I'm thankful for
Copy !req
34. that it's my mom's turn to spend thanksgiving
with us.
Copy !req
35. She eats the dark meat
and doesn't complain.
Copy !req
36. Boy, I tell you, she..
Copy !req
37. What the...
Copy !req
38. You lawn jockeys
were standing here
Copy !req
39. when I left 2 months ago.
Pathetic!
Copy !req
40. Dad, you came
last thanksgiving.
Copy !req
41. This year it's
mom's turn, remember?
Copy !req
42. Well, I don't want
to cause any fuss.
Copy !req
43. Your mother can
eat in the yard!
Copy !req
44. Now, in addition
to all the things
Copy !req
45. we normally don't talk about
in front of my dad,
Copy !req
46. let me add my mason compan
y focus group.
Copy !req
47. How could you be worried
about this focus group?
Copy !req
48. Your father is gonna ruin
this thanksgiving
Copy !req
49. as surely as squanto and his band of indians
ruined the first one.
Copy !req
50. oh, will you
look at the time.
Copy !req
51. We've got to get
this dinner on the table
Copy !req
52. because we are getting up
at 4:00 tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
53. huh?
Copy !req
54. It is a 2-hour
drive to the mall,
Copy !req
55. and I want us there right
when the doors open.
Copy !req
56. I have never gotten up
that early in my life
Copy !req
57. unless fish were involved.
Copy !req
58. Hank, the day after thanksgiving is,
in my opinion,
Copy !req
59. the biggest shopping day
of the year.
Copy !req
60. And I will not spend another year
giving dallas mavericks crap
Copy !req
61. because the cowboys stuff
was all sold out.
Copy !req
62. So I want us
in bed by 7:30.
Copy !req
63. I won't be able
to fall asleep that early.
Copy !req
64. You are not
even trying.
Copy !req
65. Have another beer.
Copy !req
66. Oh, well,
it's worth a shot.
Copy !req
67. dear lord, we are grateful
that cotton has forgotten
Copy !req
68. our carefully worked-out
holiday parent-rotation schedule,
Copy !req
69. so that we may all be together
on this day. Amen.
Copy !req
70. (all)
amen.
Copy !req
71. tilly, did you
make this stuffing?
Copy !req
72. 'cause it tastes
like garbage!
Copy !req
73. Uh, dad.
Copy !req
74. Did I ever tell you
about the time
Copy !req
75. she tried to poison me
with her baked chicken?
Copy !req
76. Oh, it was
chicken almondine.
Copy !req
77. It was cyanide, woman!
Copy !req
78. Uh, dad,
could you please
Copy !req
79. show mom some respect
while bobby's in the room?
Copy !req
80. You heard him, bobby.
Leave the room.
Copy !req
81. no, sit down, bobby.
Copy !req
82. Could you at least
respect grandmom
Copy !req
83. until we get to dessert?
Copy !req
84. Didi's your grandmom,
too, bobby.
Copy !req
85. Your pretty grandmom.dad.
Copy !req
86. 'course, bad as tilly
was in the kitchen,
Copy !req
87. she was even
worse in the bedroom!
Copy !req
88. I said, the woman was lousy
in the sack.
Copy !req
89. to the stuffing.
Copy !req
90. Might taste like garbage,
but it sure fills you up.
Copy !req
91. Come on, peggy. Turn off
your itty-bitty headlamp,
Copy !req
92. and let's get some sleep.
Copy !req
93. This is 6 malls
over texas, hank.
Copy !req
94. If you go unprepared,
it will eat you alive.
Copy !req
95. goodnight, peggy.
Copy !req
96. That was a lovely dinner.
Copy !req
97. Goodnight, son.
Copy !req
98. hmm.
Copy !req
99. Well, mom seemed
to enjoy herself tonight.
Copy !req
100. You defended troy aikman
more than you defended your mother.
Copy !req
101. Mom knows
how it is with dad.
Copy !req
102. And there were
6 dropped passes.
Copy !req
103. All troy can do
is get it there.
Copy !req
104. ok, everyone,
follow my beam.
Copy !req
105. Hurry carefully.
Copy !req
106. good morning.
Copy !req
107. I hopes we wasn't
too loud last night.
Copy !req
108. Just so you know,
you kids are on your own today.
Copy !req
109. I'm taking bobby
ice-skating at the mall.
Copy !req
110. We're gonna
go meet guys.
Copy !req
111. I'm the bait.
Copy !req
112. What?
Guys love single moms.
Copy !req
113. I forgot how much
old ladies stink.
Copy !req
114. Good god, you've got
a fat neck, hank!
Copy !req
115. So, dad, I thought
we'd split up at the mall.
Copy !req
116. Oh, are you gonna
talk the whole way?
Copy !req
117. I'm gonna head down
to the corn dog shack
Copy !req
118. and watch the girlies
make lemonade.
Copy !req
119. goodbye, peggy
Copy !req
120. no time.
Copy !req
121. Oh, fire truck!
Copy !req
122. Hi, how long
would it take
Copy !req
123. to glue a rubber sole
back on a lady's loafer?
Copy !req
124. 5 minutes.
Copy !req
125. Lady's loafer?
That's a men's loafer.
Copy !req
126. It is a uni-loafer.
Copy !req
127. Uh, have it your way.
Copy !req
128. This is gonna
take a while.
Copy !req
129. hmm.
Copy !req
130. hey, here come
leftover turkeys.
Copy !req
131. oh, hell, you're here?
Copy !req
132. I am everywhere
you want to be, hank hill.
Copy !req
133. I'm jonathan burrows,
your moderator.
Copy !req
134. My research associates and I
at research associates
Copy !req
135. have only one client:
the american consumer.
Copy !req
136. Yes, we're being paid
by the mason corporation.
Copy !req
137. But we are paid
to be independent.
Copy !req
138. I'll do all the talkin'.
Copy !req
139. all right.
What's the matter?
Copy !req
140. We may or may not have run into your dad
in the men's room,
Copy !req
141. and we may or may not
have told him
Copy !req
142. that we were being paid $50 to participate
in a focus group.
Copy !req
143. Mostly, may.
Copy !req
144. dad, that was a close one.
Copy !req
145. now what you're
gonna want to do
Copy !req
146. is turn around,
head out the door,
Copy !req
147. and well, once
you're out the door
Copy !req
148. there really
is no wrong turn.
Copy !req
149. Out of my way.
Copy !req
150. damn.
Copy !req
151. Why don't we start
by introducing ourselves?
Copy !req
152. Kahn souphanousinphone
Copy !req
153. I am system analyst.
Copy !req
154. So that's what you do.
Copy !req
155. What kind of systems?
Copy !req
156. Oh, why bother explain?
Copy !req
157. you're already
in over your head.
Copy !req
158. You, sir.
Copy !req
159. Uh, lane pretly.I own pretly ford,
pretly hyundai,
Copy !req
160. and I got my eye
on pretly cadillac.
Copy !req
161. My daddy ain't
doing so good.
Copy !req
162. Hey, you sold me
an escort once.
Copy !req
163. boyce hubert, minister,
Copy !req
164. although I've lost my faith.
Copy !req
165. 'course,
I did find a pretty great
parking space on my way in.
Copy !req
166. But the lord works
in such mysterious ways,
Copy !req
167. who the hell knows?
Copy !req
168. Uh, my name's hank hill
and I—
Copy !req
169. He runs a gas station. Next.
Copy !req
170. I'm cotton hill.
I killed 50 men.
Copy !req
171. Is that a real computer?
Copy !req
172. yes.
Copy !req
173. Oh, in that case,
Copy !req
174. my name is
rusty shackelford.
Copy !req
175. Shackelford.
Copy !req
176. You can just go ahead
and call me boomhauer, man.
Copy !req
177. You know, that dang old last name,
you know, meathead.
Copy !req
178. Did a lot of
different things.
Copy !req
179. Had a job back
there in that company.
Copy !req
180. Settlement, man.
Old workers' comp, too, man.
Copy !req
181. It's tax-free, man.
Copy !req
182. Ok. Uh, you, sir.
Copy !req
183. I'm bill dauterive
Copy !req
184. I'm a sergeant barber
in the united states army.
Copy !req
185. I'm 5'8.75" tall.
Copy !req
186. My wife, lenore,
divorced me
Copy !req
187. in the year of our lord 1991.
Copy !req
188. That's about it.
Copy !req
189. Super. What a fine lot you are.
Copy !req
190. And now I'd like
to direct your attention
Copy !req
191. to the best that the mason corporation
has to offer.
Copy !req
192. That's my mower,
the mason 1500.
Copy !req
193. the mason 2500!
Copy !req
194. Lord have mercy.
Copy !req
195. that's not my mower!
Copy !req
196. They call this progress?
Copy !req
197. They've pushed out
all the mower
Copy !req
198. to make room for cruise control,
zero turning radius,
Copy !req
199. featherweight
space-age polymers,
Copy !req
200. optional rear bag
attachment,
Copy !req
201. tommy hilfinger sports package
Copy !req
202. I love this mower so much
Copy !req
203. my—my heart hurts
Copy !req
204. why? Why do you
love it so much?
Copy !req
205. Because hank hill
will never be able
Copy !req
206. to afford one
on his meager salary.
Copy !req
207. My boy's a pump jockey.
Works for tips.
Copy !req
208. Dad, I do not
work for tips.
Copy !req
209. Pump jockey!
Copy !req
210. Dad, I am not a pump—
Copy !req
211. Works for tips
Copy !req
212. I like the mower.
It's got a lot of nice curves,
Copy !req
213. like a purty young woman.
Copy !req
214. Hank's mower's
like a dumpy fishwife.
Copy !req
215. what are we
waiting for, luanne?
Copy !req
216. um,
Copy !req
217. Maybe it's too soon since...
Copy !req
218. Buckley's not getting any deader, luanne.
Copy !req
219. It's time to move on.
Copy !req
220. Yeah.
Copy !req
221. Let's go!
Copy !req
222. are you all right?
Copy !req
223. it's just that they're playing
buckley and my song.
Copy !req
224. hey.
Copy !req
225. huh?
Copy !req
226. come on, betsy.
Copy !req
227. Well, you gotta
love a product
Copy !req
228. with this many options
and add-ons.
Copy !req
229. See, that's where
you make your money.
Copy !req
230. You take
your optional rear bag.
Copy !req
231. Now, if I had
a mason dealership,
Copy !req
232. I'd guaran-damn-tee you
Copy !req
233. if you walked
into my showroom,
Copy !req
234. you'd ride out
with that bag behind your ass.
Copy !req
235. Yeah, you sold me
pinstripes for my escort.
Copy !req
236. No, no, no.
Let me explain it to you.
Copy !req
237. I financed you pinstripes
for your escort.
Copy !req
238. So, if I'm hearing
you people,
Copy !req
239. this mower has surpassed
your expectations
Copy !req
240. and quite possibly
, your dreams?
Copy !req
241. Now hold on.
Copy !req
242. Boomhauer, bill, and, uh,
rusty and me don't like it.
Copy !req
243. 'course you don't like it.
Anything I like, you don't like.
Copy !req
244. Then when I say
I don't like somethin',
Copy !req
245. for example your mother,
Copy !req
246. you've gotta say
how much you like her even more!
Copy !req
247. Please keep my mother
out of this.
Copy !req
248. How about you, rusty?
Copy !req
249. Rusty?
Copy !req
250. Rusty.
Copy !req
251. Oh, shackelford.
Yes, I am pro-mower.
Copy !req
252. What?
Copy !req
253. I like the ashtray
Copy !req
254. don't be an idiot, dale.
That's the gas cap.
Copy !req
255. He's an idiot. He can use it
however he wants.
Copy !req
256. Thank you, colonel.
Copy !req
257. well, it looks like we're pretty close
to a consensus.
Copy !req
258. Now if we could discuss
the electric seat warmer?
Copy !req
259. Why would we need
our seat warmed?
Copy !req
260. That's what pants are for.
Copy !req
261. Right, boomhauer?
Copy !req
262. I don't know, hank, man.
Copy !req
263. Maybe dang old get naked
on that dang old thing, man.
Copy !req
264. Heat my little, that little old vibrate
might feel good, man.
Copy !req
265. So you're in favor
of the mower, Mr. Boomhauer?
Copy !req
266. Man, dang old listen, man.
Copy !req
267. boomhauer—
Copy !req
268. Uh, I'd like
to make a point.
Copy !req
269. I already made
your point, bill.
Copy !req
270. We don't like it.
Copy !req
271. We liked the old model,
thank you.
Copy !req
272. Is that the point you wanted to make,
mr. Dauterive?
Copy !req
273. yes.
Copy !req
274. No! Hank, you have been
speaking for me for...
Copy !req
275. I don't know how long.
Copy !req
276. Years and years.
Copy !req
277. Well, that sounds
about right.
Copy !req
278. Well, starting today,
Copy !req
279. william fontaine delatur dauterive
speaks for himself.
Copy !req
280. Attaboy, phil!
Copy !req
281. And what I have to say
will rock your world.
Copy !req
282. I like the cup holder.
Copy !req
283. Bill, we can order
you a cup holder,
Copy !req
284. and I'll attach
it to your 1500.
Copy !req
285. No, I'm sorry, Mr. Hill.
Copy !req
286. Mason doesn't
make parts for models
that are being discontinued.
Copy !req
287. Your mower is, uh...
Copy !req
288. Oh, what's a nice word
for "obsolete"?
Copy !req
289. Collectible?
Copy !req
290. Perfect.
Copy !req
291. Bill's on fire today!
Copy !req
292. way to go, hondo.
Copy !req
293. Way to go, bill.
Copy !req
294. Your mower's obsolete,
hank.
Copy !req
295. When something gets old and tired,
you gotta trade up.
Copy !req
296. You mean like you traded in
mother for didi?
Copy !req
297. I didn't trade your mama in.
Copy !req
298. A trade-in has some value.
Copy !req
299. I scrapped her.
Copy !req
300. Listen to all of you.
Copy !req
301. You're hypnotized
by a slick mower
Copy !req
302. with all sorts
of bells and whistles.
Copy !req
303. And you're gonna fall for it.
Copy !req
304. Well, I'm not.
Copy !req
305. My mower is reliable,
low-maintenance,
Copy !req
306. and has held up damn well
over the years.
Copy !req
307. I've got a good mower.
Copy !req
308. And I have got
a good mother.
Copy !req
309. Well, so let's see
a show of hands.
Copy !req
310. All those in favor
of the new model?
Copy !req
311. Wait. Are we voting
for hank's mom or the mower?
Copy !req
312. The mower. oh!
Copy !req
313. Gentlemen, you've made it clear
Copy !req
314. that this new mower is what
today's consumer wants.
Copy !req
315. When do we get
our $50?
Copy !req
316. We haven't
earned it yet.
Copy !req
317. This invitation
specifically states
Copy !req
318. that we are to discuss
this new lawn mower
Copy !req
319. for 3 hours,
from 9:00 to noon.
Copy !req
320. We still have
an hour-and-a-half.
Copy !req
321. give us a break, hank.
Copy !req
322. When you little redneck boy,
Copy !req
323. you couldn't defend
your mother.
Copy !req
324. Now you compensate
by defending your mower.
Copy !req
325. You confuse personal issue
s with technological.
Copy !req
326. I have father issues, too,
but this is a good mower!
Copy !req
327. no, it's not.
And you know what?
Copy !req
328. I'm willing to put my mone
y where my mouth is.
Copy !req
329. I'll put up my $50,
less my expenses
Copy !req
330. if you still
like the new mower
Copy !req
331. after I've had my say.
Copy !req
332. That works out
to over $7 apiece.
Copy !req
333. Put on your tap shoes,
shirley.
Copy !req
334. wait till dad sees this!
Copy !req
335. I'm sorry about
all those things
Copy !req
336. cotton said about you.
It doesn't mean anything.
Copy !req
337. He just doesn't like you.
Copy !req
338. Oh, I wouldn't min
d cotton's rantings
Copy !req
339. if hank would
just stick up for me.
Copy !req
340. Well, if it makes you
feel any better,
Copy !req
341. hank doesn't
stick up for me either,
Copy !req
342. his own stepmother.
Copy !req
343. k
Now you folks thin
Copy !req
344. that just because
this mower is new,
it's improved.
Copy !req
345. So we should just get rid
of the old one, right?
Copy !req
346. That's about
the size of it there.
Copy !req
347. well, hold on
for a second.
Copy !req
348. A lot of great things
in life are old.
Copy !req
349. Like old glory,
old faithful, old testament.
Copy !req
350. "thou shalt not kill."
Copy !req
351. Just because a baptism
turns into a little drowning.
Copy !req
352. Everybody's
gotta blame somebody.
Copy !req
353. Reverend,
that's an awful thing.
Copy !req
354. Can I—
Can I ask you a question?
Copy !req
355. What kind of car
do you drive?
Copy !req
356. Mitsubishi diamante.
Copy !req
357. Hank, if you're
just about through here,
Copy !req
358. I'd like to take
the good reverend
over to the lot,
Copy !req
359. put him behind the wheel
of a brand-new pre-owned sonata.
Copy !req
360. I'm not through
here yet, lane.
Copy !req
361. Let me ask you this:
Copy !req
362. you'd buy this mower, right,
Copy !req
363. with all the bells
and whistles?
Copy !req
364. Well, hell, yeah.
Copy !req
365. So you'd be the one
payin' all that dealer mark-up, right?
Copy !req
366. You'd be just like me.
Copy !req
367. Whoa-ho! Hey now, hondo.
Just a second here.
Copy !req
368. Those god-dang
mason sons of bitches.
Copy !req
369. I'm changin' my vote.
Copy !req
370. All right, then. We're making
some progress here.
Copy !req
371. Now, boomhauer, you like that fancy
electronic seat warmer,
Copy !req
372. don't you? yo.
Copy !req
373. It sounds like a good thing,
I'll give you that.
Copy !req
374. But when you ride your mower,
where do you keep your beer?
Copy !req
375. man,I plant that dang old beer
right between the legs, man.
Copy !req
376. Between his legs.
Copy !req
377. In other words,
this electronic seat warmer
Copy !req
378. is heating up more
than just boomhauer's can.
Copy !req
379. It's also heating up
his can of beer.
Copy !req
380. Man, I don't want warm beer
Copy !req
381. like that dang old
euro trash, man,
Copy !req
382. drinking that
old warm crap.
Copy !req
383. All right, boomhauer's on board.
Copy !req
384. That makes 3 of us
Copy !req
385. you'll never sway me.
Copy !req
386. I am unswayable.
Copy !req
387. I'd be a little more
impressed with you, dale
Copy !req
388. if you didn't have chocolate chip crumbs
all over your eyebrows
Copy !req
389. no way.
Copy !req
390. See for yourself.
Copy !req
391. Hey, you're right.
Copy !req
392. who—who—
Who are those people?
Copy !req
393. Oh, those are just people
sent here to monitor your thoughts and opinions
Copy !req
394. to learn how you think
Copy !req
395. you know, get inside your head.
Copy !req
396. that's 4.
Copy !req
397. all right. I—I think
I've got enough
Copy !req
398. positive and negative comments
Copy !req
399. to put together
a very positive report.
Copy !req
400. Not so fast.
Copy !req
401. I've still got 30 minutes.
Copy !req
402. and taiwan
won't be far behind.
Copy !req
403. and 2nd—
Copy !req
404. Rock the casbah,
rock the casbah?
Copy !req
405. Shareef don't like it?
Copy !req
406. that's it.
Copy !req
407. This is a zero-turning-radius
mower, is it not?
Copy !req
408. It has a rear bag option,
Copy !req
409. and it's made of ultra-light
space-age materials.
Copy !req
410. Now, taken alone, each of those things
might be good.
Copy !req
411. But combined, they're
a prescription for terror.
Copy !req
412. I don't see or like
where this is going.
Copy !req
413. Reverend hubert—
Copy !req
414. I didn't drown that boy.
Copy !req
415. Would you do me the honor
of getting on the mower?
Copy !req
416. Now drive to the wall
Copy !req
417. and execute
a 180-degree turn.
Copy !req
418. Now engage
the zero turning radius.
Copy !req
419. that could have been me.
I hate this mower!
Copy !req
420. there's your
space-age polymers.
Copy !req
421. There's your
zero turning radius.
Copy !req
422. There's your rear bag option.
Copy !req
423. My cup holder!
Copy !req
424. Oh, now I know
Copy !req
425. why you're always
speaking for me, hank.
Copy !req
426. 'cause I'm never right
and you always are.
Copy !req
427. You know, bill, if I'm
always speaking for you,
Copy !req
428. and I'm always right,
Copy !req
429. that means you're always right,
too, doesn't it?
Copy !req
430. Well, uh...
Copy !req
431. it does.
Copy !req
432. I-it does. It does!
Copy !req
433. How do you like that?
I'm always right!
Copy !req
434. That's everybody
but one.
Copy !req
435. Preacher, if you're still
in the baptizing business,
Copy !req
436. I'd like you
to drown my boy hank.
Copy !req
437. They said the ladies' room
was the 2nd door on the right,
Copy !req
438. so this must be it.
Copy !req
439. I'll tell you
who gets my vote.
Copy !req
440. The guy who figures out a way
Copy !req
441. to strap an old woman
on an old mower
Copy !req
442. and run 'em both
off a cliff.
Copy !req
443. Oh, he's doing it again,
and in public.
Copy !req
444. Don't get me wrong,
mr. Kahn.
Copy !req
445. I like a woman
with a big butt.
Copy !req
446. But tilly was taking advantage
of the situation.
Copy !req
447. All right,I've had enough, dad.
Copy !req
448. Don't you talk to me
like that, boy.
Copy !req
449. I'll tell you
when you've had enough
Copy !req
450. no, dad.
My mower is not too old,
Copy !req
451. and my mom
was not too old.
Copy !req
452. But this isn't
about my mom,
Copy !req
453. and it's certainly
not about my mower.
Copy !req
454. It's about
a bitter old man
Copy !req
455. who blames everybody
but himself
Copy !req
456. for all his own problems.
Copy !req
457. And if you ever
talk about my mom
Copy !req
458. or my mower
like that again,
Copy !req
459. you're not welcome
in my house.
Copy !req
460. Amen.
Copy !req
461. you've got
a fat neck, boy.
Copy !req
462. Well, I'm not sure
if there is a god
Copy !req
463. or a heaven,
Copy !req
464. but one thing
I can tell you
Copy !req
465. is your daddy's
going to hell.
Copy !req
466. Hello, son.
How was the focus group?
Copy !req
467. Oh, not so great.
Copy !req
468. And now I've gotta
do all my shopping
Copy !req
469. have you thought about what
you want for christmas, mom
Copy !req
470. I don't need anything
from you, hank.
Copy !req
471. You've given me enough already
Copy !req
472. I guess peggy got
a ride home with cotton.
Copy !req
473. Humph. I'll be dipped!
Copy !req
474. pump jockey!
Copy !req
475. I am not—
Copy !req
476. Works for tips.
