1. Okay, I was going to do this
after you got home from school
Copy !req
2. but I'm too excited.
Copy !req
3. The turkey knife!
Copy !req
4. That's right.
Copy !req
5. I've been waiting for the right year
Copy !req
6. and if you feel ready
Copy !req
7. this Thanksgiving,
Copy !req
8. you will be carving
one of the three Tom Turkeys.
Copy !req
9. I'm ready, Dad.
Copy !req
10. I wasn't ready last year.
Copy !req
11. I realize that now.
Copy !req
12. Okay, pretend it's Thanksgiving
Copy !req
13. and this bread is a turkey.
Copy !req
14. Oh, my God, it's so juicy!
Copy !req
15. You see, Bobby, on Thanksgiving,
Copy !req
16. people will be so jazzed
by the moistness of the turkey
Copy !req
17. you'll have to tune them out.
Copy !req
18. Now, try again.
Copy !req
19. The kids' table needs dark meat!
Copy !req
20. Dale, I read that the government
returned 84,000 acres to the Utes
Copy !req
21. near the Ouray Reservation.
Copy !req
22. It's a good precedent
for our tribe's lawsuit,
Copy !req
23. don't you think?
Copy !req
24. Well, with me acting
as your legal advisor,
Copy !req
25. I am confident you have an airtight case.
Copy !req
26. Although I am not sure
what you mean by "precedent."
Copy !req
27. - Hey, Dad.
- Son.
Copy !req
28. Joseph, hello.
Copy !req
29. Hey...
Copy !req
30. so, um... is that a new backpack?
Copy !req
31. Looks good on you.
Copy !req
32. You know,
I'm speaking to your class today.
Copy !req
33. We'll be going over
the Native American role
Copy !req
34. in Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
35. Hey, why don't I give you
a ride to school?
Copy !req
36. No, I'll ride my bike.
Copy !req
37. Oh, uh, Dad...
Copy !req
38. my bike chain is busted.
Copy !req
39. No problem, Son.
Copy !req
40. I'm pretty sure I keep
a chain tool in Hank's garage.
Copy !req
41. Morning, John Redcorn.
Copy !req
42. Nancy, you just missed Joseph.
Copy !req
43. Well, I guess you see him every day.
Copy !req
44. He's just grown so much.
Copy !req
45. Too much time goes by
without me seeing him.
Copy !req
46. Thank God for the holidays.
Copy !req
47. Yeah, about that...
Copy !req
48. I just don't think it's a good idea
Copy !req
49. you coming by this Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
50. But I've barely seen my son
since we broke up.
Copy !req
51. Sug, he's Dale's son, remember?
Copy !req
52. Say that now,
Copy !req
53. but when it comes time
to get him into college,
Copy !req
54. let's see what box you check.
Copy !req
55. My people once owned
what is now central and southern Texas.
Copy !req
56. Our land was taken from us
by the White men.
Copy !req
57. Mr. Redcorn?
- Yes?
Copy !req
58. Are you sure it's the White men
who did all that stuff?
Copy !req
59. Because I come from White people
Copy !req
60. and this is the first I'm hearing of it.
Copy !req
61. Yes, I am sure.
Copy !req
62. Wow.
Copy !req
63. Yes, wow.
Copy !req
64. You know, Bobby,
if you were interested in learning more
Copy !req
65. I could give you...
and Joseph a ride home.
Copy !req
66. Ride? Really?
Copy !req
67. Oh, I've been dreading
the walk home all day.
Copy !req
68. These legs get dog-tired by 3:10.
Copy !req
69. Luanne, are you ready for another
Thanksgiving Boggle tournament?
Copy !req
70. Aunt Peggy, everybody hates
your Boggle tournament.
Copy !req
71. - What?
- What?
Copy !req
72. You just said that everybody hates
my Boggle tournament?
Copy !req
73. I didn't say that.
Copy !req
74. I thought it.
Copy !req
75. Well, now that you know,
Copy !req
76. everybody does hate
your Boggle tournament.
Copy !req
77. But it's because you give grades
instead of prizes.
Copy !req
78. Yes, Boggle is a harsh mistress.
Copy !req
79. Maybe I should come up with a game
Copy !req
80. that other people have a chance at.
Copy !req
81. It's going to be tough to find one
Copy !req
82. that doesn't give me an advantage.
Copy !req
83. Okay, Johnny, stay cool.
Copy !req
84. Don't bore him.
Copy !req
85. Where's Joseph going?
Copy !req
86. Who knows?
Copy !req
87. That kid's a freakin' mystery.
Copy !req
88. I waited two and a half hours.
Copy !req
89. And I really appreciate that
Copy !req
90. especially after all you say
the White man did to the Indians.
Copy !req
91. You don't know the half of it.
Copy !req
92. The White man is still doing it.
Copy !req
93. Hundreds of years
of the systematic rape of my people
Copy !req
94. is not enough, is it?
Copy !req
95. I'm sorry, I just have to ask again.
Copy !req
96. This is the White man?
Copy !req
97. I've researched all the very best games
in the world,
Copy !req
98. and what I learned was
Copy !req
99. people like to spin,
and people like to choose.
Copy !req
100. The trick was getting rid
of all the boring stuff in between.
Copy !req
101. Spinning and choosing... I like those.
Copy !req
102. Oh, wait... what do I get to choose?
Copy !req
103. Well, some game shows
have you choose a letter... who cares?
Copy !req
104. Some shows have you choose a category.
Copy !req
105. My God, wake me up when it's over.
Copy !req
106. In my game,
Copy !req
107. you take that choice and you spin it.
Copy !req
108. The name of the game is "Spin the Choice."
Copy !req
109. Luanne, do you want to spin the choice?
Copy !req
110. See you, Mr. Redcorn.
Copy !req
111. Bobby, in honor of your first carving
Copy !req
112. we're going to fry up
one of the turkeys this year.
Copy !req
113. Dad, that is no way to celebrate
Copy !req
114. the rape of the Native Americans
for 350 years.
Copy !req
115. Bobby, don't use the word "rape."
Copy !req
116. It's not polite.
Copy !req
117. I don't know how else
to describe this idiotic ritual.
Copy !req
118. Dad... you and your White people
Copy !req
119. stole hundreds of thousands
of acres from John Redcorn,
Copy !req
120. and now you celebrate by frying a turkey?
Copy !req
121. When does the killing end?
Copy !req
122. What the...
Copy !req
123. Hank, you're terrible.
Copy !req
124. - I am not.
- Just give him his land back, Hank.
Copy !req
125. You can't just barge in here.
Copy !req
126. This room is my property and...
Copy !req
127. Eh, what's the use?
Copy !req
128. Look who I'm talking to.
Copy !req
129. You are talking to your father
Copy !req
130. and you will not use
that Frenchman's wave with me.
Copy !req
131. Wait. This is about
the turkey carving, isn't it?
Copy !req
132. It's all right to have
some pre-carving jitters.
Copy !req
133. The good ones always do.
Copy !req
134. Oh, yes, what could be more
important than turkey?
Copy !req
135. This makes me sick!
Copy !req
136. Thanks-taking isn't a time
for celebration.
Copy !req
137. I refuse to carve your turkey.
Copy !req
138. It is basted in the blood
of the innocents.
Copy !req
139. I'm out!
Copy !req
140. This was going to be
the perfect Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
141. Bobby carving his first turkey,
Copy !req
142. my dad going out of town,
Copy !req
143. pie...
Copy !req
144. Do not blame Bobby.
Copy !req
145. I taught him to keep an open mind.
Copy !req
146. Maybe I taught him too well.
Copy !req
147. Come on, come on!
Copy !req
148. The naked photography books
are downstairs.
Copy !req
149. Somebody's going to buy them all
before we get a chance to even look.
Copy !req
150. Is that all you think about? Photography?
Copy !req
151. I only have a day to plan
Copy !req
152. an authentic Native American
protest feast,
Copy !req
153. and if anything has to thaw or ripen,
Copy !req
154. I got to know now.
Copy !req
155. Hey, hey...
Copy !req
156. Joseph, how about this...
Copy !req
157. running into each other?
Copy !req
158. Hey, Mr. Redcorn.
Copy !req
159. I had this old headdress lying around
Copy !req
160. and I thought, well, you might like it.
Copy !req
161. Horns and a feather. Thanks.
Copy !req
162. John Redcorn...
Copy !req
163. What in the hell
have you been telling my son?
Copy !req
164. If I stole all that land,
Copy !req
165. would I be living on a dang
eighth of an acre?
Copy !req
166. He will rise up and reclaim
all of what was once ours.
Copy !req
167. He is the spirit of our people.
Copy !req
168. Bobby is?
Copy !req
169. Joseph.
Copy !req
170. Oh.
Copy !req
171. Hank...
Copy !req
172. Oh, boy.
Copy !req
173. I want my son back.
Copy !req
174. I don't know.
Copy !req
175. Bobby, not in front of the Boomhauers.
Copy !req
176. I'm sorry, Dr. Boomhauer.
Copy !req
177. What are you doing?
Copy !req
178. What better way to educate
Copy !req
179. than to have my own Thanks-taking meal?
Copy !req
180. It's going to be very in-your-face.
Copy !req
181. I refuse to eat
the White man's white meat!
Copy !req
182. That's it.
Copy !req
183. You're going to your room.
Copy !req
184. And stay off the guests' coats.
Copy !req
185. Oh, Hank, come on, let him be.
Copy !req
186. This is normal teenage rebellion.
Copy !req
187. When I was his age,
I wrecked my parents' bicycle.
Copy !req
188. All right, fine.
Copy !req
189. But this whole anti-Thanksgiving thing
Copy !req
190. couldn't have come at a worse time.
Copy !req
191. Well, the game is pretty straightforward.
Copy !req
192. You can choose to spin,
or you can choose to choose.
Copy !req
193. If you choose to spin,
you can land on "spin"
Copy !req
194. or "choice" or "lose a spin"
Copy !req
195. or "lose a choice" or "free spin"
Copy !req
196. or "free choice" or "spin again."
Copy !req
197. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
198. She loves the game
Copy !req
199. but her ex-lover just showed up.
Copy !req
200. Most players won't face such distractions.
Copy !req
201. Hank, what's John Redcorn doing here?
Copy !req
202. I thought he was here for you.
Copy !req
203. Not in a while, Sug.
Copy !req
204. I'm scared he might do something stupid.
Copy !req
205. Would you mind kicking him out?
Copy !req
206. Uh... Hey, John Redcorn.
Copy !req
207. Hank.
Copy !req
208. Are you here for something in particular?
Copy !req
209. 'Cause this is kind of a family
and neighbor kind of...
Copy !req
210. Bobby invited me.
Copy !req
211. Bobby? Well, he's just a minor.
Copy !req
212. He doesn't have the authority to...
Copy !req
213. Is this because of what happened
in the car the other day?
Copy !req
214. I don't know what you're talking about.
Copy !req
215. I was crying
Copy !req
216. and you felt a little uncomfortable...
Copy !req
217. Well, I know you're here to see Bobby,
so I won't keep you.
Copy !req
218. Hello, Bobby.
Copy !req
219. How's the good fight?
Copy !req
220. Well, Mr. Redcorn, I finally...
Copy !req
221. Hey, there's Joseph.
Copy !req
222. John Redcorn, what a pleasant surprise.
Copy !req
223. Have a beer.
Copy !req
224. What the hell do you think
you're doing here?
Copy !req
225. I'm going to talk to my son.
Copy !req
226. I bought him a skateboard.
Copy !req
227. He's already got a skateboard,
Copy !req
228. and a helmet, and a father, so leave.
Copy !req
229. John Redcorn, hey.
Copy !req
230. Here's something to be thankful for.
Copy !req
231. You got a settlement offer
from the government.
Copy !req
232. Twelve delicious acres
of unincorporated Arlen.
Copy !req
233. Twelve? I was seeking 130,000.
Copy !req
234. There's no way I'm accepting this... insult.
Copy !req
235. Come on, 12's a lot.
Copy !req
236. Eleven of them are connected.
Copy !req
237. The other one's across the highway.
Copy !req
238. If you don't want them I'll take them.
Copy !req
239. You're right...
this is something to drink to.
Copy !req
240. May I have your attention, everyone?
Copy !req
241. I would just like to make a toast
to our friend, John Redcorn III
Copy !req
242. celebrating the return
of 12 acres of land.
Copy !req
243. Almost one one-thousandth percent
Copy !req
244. of what he was seeking.
Copy !req
245. Kudos.
Copy !req
246. All right, then.
Copy !req
247. - Oh.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
248. Joseph hates me.
Copy !req
249. Why would Joseph hate you?
Copy !req
250. He barely knows you.
Copy !req
251. I would also like to make a toast...
Copy !req
252. to the white man
Copy !req
253. who steals our land and steals our sons.
Copy !req
254. To the White man!
Copy !req
255. To the White man?
Copy !req
256. Oh, what the hell.
Copy !req
257. Bobby, if you have anything nice to say
Copy !req
258. about the American Indians
Copy !req
259. now would be a good time.
Copy !req
260. Thank you for finally hearing our voice.
Copy !req
261. My friend John Redcorn has taught me
Copy !req
262. about how important
the history of his people is
Copy !req
263. especially on this day.
Copy !req
264. And I am the only one
who saw fit to prepare a feast
Copy !req
265. that honors the Native American culture
Copy !req
266. not my land-grabbing ancestors.
Copy !req
267. According to many expensive books
I studied at the bookstore,
Copy !req
268. the Anasazi tribe from this region
Copy !req
269. celebrated their most festive occasions
Copy !req
270. by eating the body of their enemies.
Copy !req
271. Anthropologists have found
the leftovers of these sacred meals,
Copy !req
272. human bones with shiny patches
Copy !req
273. as if rubbed smooth
against the walls of cooking pots.
Copy !req
274. So today we salute
the Native American cannibal
Copy !req
275. or... people eater.
Copy !req
276. It is in this spirit
Copy !req
277. that I invite you to enjoy
Copy !req
278. a Native American cannibal feast.
Copy !req
279. Mr. Redcorn, this head's for you.
Copy !req
280. Oh, man. You eat people?
Copy !req
281. Joseph, don't listen to him.
Copy !req
282. That was over 700 years ago.
Copy !req
283. Get your hands off me, you cannibal freak.
Copy !req
284. John Redcorn, it's me.
Copy !req
285. I brought you a to-go plate.
Copy !req
286. It's the neck and gibs.
Copy !req
287. They were this close
to giving them to the dog.
Copy !req
288. Look, I feel terrible
for what Joseph said.
Copy !req
289. My son has all the Gribble passion
with none of the Gribble charm.
Copy !req
290. Your son?
Copy !req
291. Yes, I've been meaning to talk to you
about your son.
Copy !req
292. Sit down.
Copy !req
293. Fourteen years ago,
Copy !req
294. I was gassing up my Jeep and I met...
Copy !req
295. Do I still need to use an ashtray?
Copy !req
296. You want me to consult the rule book,
Dr. Boomhauer?
Copy !req
297. Fine.
Copy !req
298. You lose.
Copy !req
299. Sorry, I thought you were Mr. Redcorn.
Copy !req
300. Oh. That guy creeps me out.
Copy !req
301. John Redcorn is a good man
Copy !req
302. who's lost everything important to him.
Copy !req
303. Yeah, his stupid land.
Copy !req
304. Get over it already.
Copy !req
305. Joseph John Gribble,
you should be ashamed of yourself.
Copy !req
306. What if your father lost the places
he hunted
Copy !req
307. and fished and lived and loved.
Copy !req
308. Maybe it's my fault you don't understand
anything about his heritage.
Copy !req
309. It's time we had a talk.
Copy !req
310. Okay, how about this?
Copy !req
311. Some things in life just happen.
Copy !req
312. You don't want to hurt anyone but...
Copy !req
313. Oh, come on,
so Joseph called you a cannibal.
Copy !req
314. It's not like it's true.
Copy !req
315. Is it?
Copy !req
316. Oh, of course not.
Copy !req
317. Any cultural anthropologist will tell you
Copy !req
318. that the Anasazi tribe
last practiced cannibalism
Copy !req
319. over 700 years ago.
Copy !req
320. And you are affiliated with what tribe?
Copy !req
321. Dale, I don't eat people.
Copy !req
322. For God's sake,
Copy !req
323. it would be like me
accusing you of cannibalism
Copy !req
324. just because that nut in Michigan
who boiled body parts
Copy !req
325. in his stove was White.
Copy !req
326. And that disk jockey in Philadelphia
Copy !req
327. who ate people in his basement,
also White.
Copy !req
328. Uh... boy, you're really up
on your cannibalism, John Redcorn.
Copy !req
329. Well, look at the time.
Copy !req
330. It just makes me so angry.
Copy !req
331. Heh-heh-heh.
Copy !req
332. You should know I'm highly carcinogenic.
Copy !req
333. Okay,
Copy !req
334. that bell means you get a chance
to spin the prize wheel.
Copy !req
335. I came up with the prize wheel
late last night,
Copy !req
336. so picture this as a 30-foot wheel
that spins.
Copy !req
337. Bill, spin my arm.
Copy !req
338. Doo-doo-doo-doo...
Copy !req
339. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Copy !req
340. Doo, doo, doo, doo...
Copy !req
341. Come on. Come on.
Copy !req
342. Doo.
- I win a Winnebago.
Copy !req
343. I win a Winnebago!
Copy !req
344. Doo.
- No!
Copy !req
345. So close.
Copy !req
346. I spun it a little too hard.
Copy !req
347. Hello.
Copy !req
348. John Redcorn's kidnapped me
Copy !req
349. - and he's going to eat me.
- You're with John Redcorn?
Copy !req
350. Uh, has he told you anything?
Copy !req
351. He's playing it very coy.
Copy !req
352. You have to save me, Hank.
Copy !req
353. Now, here's the plan.
Copy !req
354. Pss-pss-pss.
Copy !req
355. Dale, you're just going "pss-pss-pss."
Copy !req
356. Well, I've got nothing.
Copy !req
357. Uh, Peggy,
Copy !req
358. I got to go for a spin to pick up Dale.
Copy !req
359. He's over at Redcorn's,
scared out of his pants.
Copy !req
360. I want to go.
Copy !req
361. I want to go, too.
Copy !req
362. For Mr. Redcorn.
Copy !req
363. Bobby, haven't you done enough to him?
Copy !req
364. It's my choice.
Copy !req
365. Then give me your choice card.
Copy !req
366. I'm glad the Cowboys lost today...
Copy !req
367. after all they did to the Indians.
Copy !req
368. Damn it, don't go dragging them into this.
Copy !req
369. You're already in enough trouble.
Copy !req
370. You called John Redcorn a cannibal.
Copy !req
371. That's one of the worst things
you can call a person.
Copy !req
372. No, it's not.
Copy !req
373. The New York Times says cannibalism
is part of his cultural heritage
Copy !req
374. and you have to respect
other people's culture.
Copy !req
375. Who are we to judge, hmm?
Copy !req
376. I am not judging.
Copy !req
377. I am stating a simple fact...
Copy !req
378. it is wrong to eat human beings.
Copy !req
379. Says you.
Copy !req
380. Yes, and I'll say it again.
Copy !req
381. It is wrong to eat another human being.
Copy !req
382. Oh, but it was right for the White man
Copy !req
383. to throw blankets with smallpox
onto the Indian reservations?
Copy !req
384. No, that was wrong, too,
Copy !req
385. but so is eating human beings.
Copy !req
386. Bobby, I agree that stealing Indians' land
was wrong.
Copy !req
387. Can't you agree
that eating people is wrong?
Copy !req
388. I guess.
Copy !req
389. There you go.
Copy !req
390. You know, I left one turkey uncarved.
Copy !req
391. Can I have the knife back?
Copy !req
392. You sure can, Bobby,
but you barely need a knife
Copy !req
393. 'cause that bad boy
is so god-danged succulent...
Copy !req
394. So, uh... what did you say to Dale?
Copy !req
395. Nothing... yet.
Copy !req
396. I can't believe she left me.
Copy !req
397. For that.
Copy !req
398. She didn't leave you for that.
Copy !req
399. She married that
two years before she met you.
Copy !req
400. Shh-shh-shha!
Copy !req
401. Dad!
Copy !req
402. Joseph's here? Good.
Copy !req
403. I can tell both of them at the same time.
Copy !req
404. Get back in the truck
behind Bobby where you're safe!
Copy !req
405. It's okay. He's not going to eat anyone.
Copy !req
406. Mr. Redcorn,
I know you're not really a cannibal.
Copy !req
407. My mom told me.
Copy !req
408. She told me a lot of things.
Copy !req
409. Really? Like what?
Copy !req
410. How the White men stole your land
and your heritage,
Copy !req
411. and that it's time you got it back,
Copy !req
412. and how we're all children of the earth,
Copy !req
413. so, in a weird way, we're related.
Copy !req
414. So what did you want to tell us,
Kemo Sabe?
Copy !req
415. I think I will take
those 12 acres after all,
Copy !req
416. and then,
Copy !req
417. upon my death, I would like to pass
the land on to you, Dale,
Copy !req
418. for all the help you've given me.
Copy !req
419. Score!
Copy !req
420. Then Joseph will live
on my forefathers' land
Copy !req
421. after you die.
Copy !req
422. Thanks, Captain Bringdown.
Copy !req
423. This is nice land, John Redcorn.
Copy !req
424. With a little TLC...
Copy !req
425. I think you can turn this
into a real nice place
Copy !req
426. and maybe put up
a garden and a fence and...
Copy !req
427. I am thinking about suing
the Highway Department
Copy !req
428. to put in a sound-dampening fence.
Copy !req
429. Oh, my God! It's so juicy!
