1. I bought this whetstone
the day Bobby was born.
Copy !req
2. I can't believe he's ready to sharpen
his first mower blade.
Copy !req
3. Son
Copy !req
4. you're a teenager now,
on your way to becoming a man.
Copy !req
5. This will help you on the journey.
Copy !req
6. Wow. I've always wanted one of these.
Copy !req
7. No, no. Stop that.
Copy !req
8. This is for sharpening mower blades.
Copy !req
9. You'll sharpen every Saturday,
Copy !req
10. and when you've shown me
you can handle the responsibility,
Copy !req
11. you'll get to use those blades
to mow the lawn.
Copy !req
12. Okay.
Copy !req
13. Hey, don't put that down there.
Copy !req
14. - Oops. Sorry.
- Dang it, Bobby.
Copy !req
15. You're gonna rake leaves
Copy !req
16. until that whetstone is paid off.
Copy !req
17. And every Thursday, you're gonna bag them
Copy !req
18. and drag them to the curb,
Copy !req
19. so they can be picked up
by garbageman Morehouse.
Copy !req
20. How about he grabs the bags himself?
Copy !req
21. He seems to like it, Dad.
He's made a career of it.
Copy !req
22. Start raking.
Copy !req
23. What the…
Copy !req
24. Bobby.
Copy !req
25. Coming.
Copy !req
26. Ow!
Copy !req
27. Huh? I've been practicing all morning.
Copy !req
28. That's it.
Copy !req
29. You're grounded until you're ready
to pick up those leaves.
Copy !req
30. - Okay.
- I mean it, mister.
Copy !req
31. - Can I take the rake with me?
- No.
Copy !req
32. Dinner's ready.
Copy !req
33. In a minute.
Copy !req
34. Son, I'm sorry I had to come
down hard on you, but you're…
Copy !req
35. What are you doing?
Copy !req
36. Just smelling stuff.
Copy !req
37. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
38. The clock radio smells like my Game Boy,
but it tastes like my library card.
Copy !req
39. I wonder if it smells different
when it's on?
Copy !req
40. So, where's Bobby?
Copy !req
41. I want to talk to someone while you work.
Copy !req
42. He's grounded.
Copy !req
43. Not that he cares.
Copy !req
44. He's just sitting there, uh…
smelling things in his room.
Copy !req
45. That boy ain't right.
Copy !req
46. Don't blame Bobby.
Copy !req
47. You've been babying him
ever since he was a baby.
Copy !req
48. I don't baby him.
Copy !req
49. I've explained responsibility to him
a hundred times.
Copy !req
50. Explain? You don't explain responsibility
to a child.
Copy !req
51. You pound it into them
with steel-toed boots.
Copy !req
52. Uh, well, I, I don't really know if…
Copy !req
53. I know. And I'll tell you.
Copy !req
54. We got to chisel the man
out of the baby fat
Copy !req
55. via the Fort Berk Academy.
Copy !req
56. That's what worked for me.
Copy !req
57. I always wanted to go to the Academy.
Copy !req
58. And I wish I could've sent you.
Copy !req
59. Unfortunately, you were such
a bumbling moron
Copy !req
60. I couldn't vouch for you.
Copy !req
61. I think I would've made a great cadet.
Copy !req
62. Nah, you wouldn't have been no good.
Copy !req
63. But if you'd gone,
you'd know how to handle Bobby.
Copy !req
64. Yep, even the Academy's two-week boot camp
Copy !req
65. does more than most parents can do
to their kids in a lifetime.
Copy !req
66. Now Bobby… he'd make a fine cadet.
Copy !req
67. Huh.
Copy !req
68. I do not know
how Bobby gets this cape so wrinkled.
Copy !req
69. Yeah, I don't know what to do
about him, either.
Copy !req
70. What would you think about
letting the instructors at Fort Berk
Copy !req
71. take a crack at him?
Copy !req
72. Cotton's old school?
Copy !req
73. Sure. And then maybe this summer
Copy !req
74. we can send him to Cotton's old POW camp.
Copy !req
75. Peggy, I talked to the principal,
Copy !req
76. and he assured me
that they are tough, but not rough.
Copy !req
77. He spent a long time on the phone
explaining the distinction.
Copy !req
78. Come on. Today, you're ironing his cape.
Copy !req
79. If we don't take drastic action,
Copy !req
80. tomorrow, there'll be a top hat
in the picture.
Copy !req
81. Bobby? It's your Gampy.
Copy !req
82. We got a little present for ya.
Copy !req
83. Hi, Ging-ging. What'd you bring me?
Copy !req
84. Wow, a costume.
Copy !req
85. "You want the truth?
You can't handle the truth."
Copy !req
86. It's perfect.
Copy !req
87. This ain't no costume, boy.
It's a uniform.
Copy !req
88. Standard issue for all cadets
at Fort Berk Academy.
Copy !req
89. - Huh?
- Yep.
Copy !req
90. We're giving you the privilege
Copy !req
91. of attending the Academy's
two-week boot camp program.
Copy !req
92. Enjoy your spring break, son.
Copy !req
93. Boot camp?
Copy !req
94. Can't we work something out?
Copy !req
95. What if I agreed to a spanking?
Copy !req
96. You can have both.
Copy !req
97. I'm not sure what this means,
but I once heard
Copy !req
98. that when you're stuck
in an unpleasant situation,
Copy !req
99. it helps to just lie back
and think of England.
Copy !req
100. That's enough, Hank's wife.
Copy !req
101. If you got more feelings to express,
Copy !req
102. get in the kitchen
and put them in a bundt cake.
Copy !req
103. Pi-diddle.
Copy !req
104. Come on, Bobby.
Copy !req
105. Whenever you see a cripple plate
yell "pi-diddle" and punch your dad.
Copy !req
106. I'm not much in the mood
to play games, Grandpa.
Copy !req
107. Come on, boy.
Take your tee-hees while you can.
Copy !req
108. Soon enough, all the silly is gonna get
beaten out of you. For good.
Copy !req
109. You'll be fine, Bobby.
Copy !req
110. But if you start crying,
Copy !req
111. just try to push the tears
onto your forehead
Copy !req
112. so it'll look like sweat.
Copy !req
113. In my day, the principal
was the meanest son of a bitch.
Copy !req
114. God ever put on one leg.
Copy !req
115. He'd lean on a desk with both hands
and swing his leg at you.
Copy !req
116. Then, when you were standing there shocked
Copy !req
117. that a one-legged man had kicked you,
he'd bite you.
Copy !req
118. Oops. Well.
Copy !req
119. Huh.
Copy !req
120. How you like that?
Copy !req
121. Must've over-reminisced
and brought up my pain water.
Copy !req
122. Pi-diddle.
Copy !req
123. There it is, boys.
Copy !req
124. God. Ain't it beautiful?
Copy !req
125. That, my friend, is "the hole."
Copy !req
126. If I had a nickel for every boy
that went loco in there,
Copy !req
127. I'd be eating nickel soup.
Copy !req
128. They can put a boy in a hole?
Copy !req
129. - No, they…
- They gots to.
Copy !req
130. It's hard to be willful
if your will's been broken.
Copy !req
131. What are you doing?
Copy !req
132. Well, I was planning
on coming in with you guys.
Copy !req
133. I thought I explained this to you
30 years ago.
Copy !req
134. You ain't good enough!
Copy !req
135. I was just gonna help Bobby get…
Copy !req
136. You've helped enough.
Copy !req
137. Starting now, Fort Berk takes over.
Copy !req
138. So keep yourself
and your hippie style of parenting
Copy !req
139. outside the gate.
Copy !req
140. Dad?
Copy !req
141. Good Lord, they're gonna have
to get bigger sticks
Copy !req
142. to beat the frosting out of these fatties.
Copy !req
143. But they'll do it.
Copy !req
144. Colonel Hill,
Copy !req
145. it's an honor to finally meet
our most decorated alumnus.
Copy !req
146. You're darn skippy it is
Copy !req
147. but I don't wants my boy
getting no special handling.
Copy !req
148. I assure you, Colonel,
he'll get the standard treatment.
Copy !req
149. Well, boy, may God bless you.
Copy !req
150. Not that it would help you in here.
Copy !req
151. I can hardly wait
to see my grandson all toughened up.
Copy !req
152. You think you folks could mail me copies
of his daily beating logs?
Copy !req
153. Colonel Hill,
Copy !req
154. you do realize things have changed
since your time here?
Copy !req
155. All right, you can e-mail them to me.
Copy !req
156. Lights out.
Copy !req
157. I suggest you get as much sleep as you can
Copy !req
158. before the senior cadets come by
to… welcome you.
Copy !req
159. Oh, no, I made code yellow.
Copy !req
160. Oh, God, my grandpa told me
they come in and beat you
Copy !req
161. with sacks full of frozen oranges.
Copy !req
162. Oh, dang. Someone's coming.
Copy !req
163. Lie back and think of England.
Copy !req
164. Hugh Grant, Spice Girls… Paddington.
Copy !req
165. Yeah, get them. Get them.
Copy !req
166. Come on, get up.
Copy !req
167. I don't get it.
Copy !req
168. Why was that supposed to be scary?
Copy !req
169. Well, five more minutes like that,
Copy !req
170. and I guess it might have caused
some hearing damage.
Copy !req
171. Just think, when Bobby
comes home from Fort Berk,
Copy !req
172. he's gonna be respectful,
obedient and easy to manage.
Copy !req
173. That's right, Hank.
Just like a… a show dog.
Copy !req
174. My grandpa says
that all you get for breakfast
Copy !req
175. is a spoonful of salt
and some stale bread.
Copy !req
176. Oh, man.
Copy !req
177. That's how they brainwash you.
Copy !req
178. - They starve you first.
- Okay, please, move it.
Copy !req
179. Crepe station closes in five minutes.
Copy !req
180. Uh, these sure are some good peas, Peggy.
Copy !req
181. What's your secret?
Copy !req
182. Microwave.
Copy !req
183. I wonder if Bobby's being forced to sleep
in mud or dung right now?
Copy !req
184. Wait, what's today, Tuesday?
Copy !req
185. Dung.
Copy !req
186. No one is answering, Hank.
Copy !req
187. Oh, they're probably all bound and gagged.
Copy !req
188. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
189. What if the wires from this doorbell
are connected to his nipples?
Copy !req
190. It is worse than I could have imagined.
Copy !req
191. Will you let us in? Let us in!
Copy !req
192. We demand to see Bobby Hill.
Copy !req
193. Peggy, protocol.
Copy !req
194. Sir, permission to see Cadet Hill
Copy !req
195. while keeping a respectful distance
from the grounds.
Copy !req
196. Oh, you're his father.
We talked on the phone.
Copy !req
197. You're welcome to come in.
Copy !req
198. I am?
Copy !req
199. Of course, and so is your lawyer.
Copy !req
200. We have nothing to hide.
Copy !req
201. Your concern for your son
is perfectly normal,
Copy !req
202. but I can assure you
Cadet Hill is excelling here.
Copy !req
203. Mom. Dad.
Copy !req
204. Bobby. Honey, are you okay?
Copy !req
205. Blink if you're not.
Copy !req
206. I'm great, ma'am.
Copy !req
207. Cadet Hill, why don't you
take your parents
Copy !req
208. to Survival Crafts class?
Copy !req
209. I can attend a class at Fort Berk?
Copy !req
210. Well, I won't let you down, Bobby.
Copy !req
211. I mean, Cadet Hill.
Copy !req
212. On the battlefield,
you may find yourself stranded
Copy !req
213. without enough water to survive
Copy !req
214. but with a sufficient quantity of mud,
Copy !req
215. you will have the ability to create
your own bowl, pot, urn, decanter
Copy !req
216. or beaker to collect rainwater.
Copy !req
217. Very nice work, Mr. Hill.
Copy !req
218. We'll make sure to have that glazed
before you go.
Copy !req
219. Did you hear that, Peggy? I'm doing it.
I'm Fort Berk material.
Copy !req
220. Where's dinner?
Copy !req
221. It's three o'clock, Dad.
Copy !req
222. I can't eat excuses.
Copy !req
223. You heard from Bobby?
Copy !req
224. Yeah, he's, uh, surviving.
Copy !req
225. Surviving?
Copy !req
226. He's got too much of you and that one
to be surviving at Fort Berk.
Copy !req
227. Even I barely survived
Copy !req
228. and I didn't have Gas Monkey
and Sasquatch for parents.
Copy !req
229. I will have you know, Cotton,
that Bobby is thriving.
Copy !req
230. We went to Fort Berk yesterday
and saw him.
Copy !req
231. What in the name of Ned?
Copy !req
232. They ain't supposed to let you two
on campus.
Copy !req
233. They are required to by law
and we sat in on one of his classes.
Copy !req
234. Hank, show him the bowl you made.
Copy !req
235. What the…
Copy !req
236. You made a bowl?
Copy !req
237. Well, yeah. It's a combat bowl.
Copy !req
238. Bobby made one, too.
Copy !req
239. Combat bowl?
Copy !req
240. The only bowl he's supposed to make
is from a hollowed-out skull.
Copy !req
241. - Move it!
- Whoa!
Copy !req
242. How you doing in there, you poor saps?
Copy !req
243. What the…
Copy !req
244. - Ooh.
- Is that all the respect you got for me?
Copy !req
245. You go and turn my childhood home
into a giant sissy factory.
Copy !req
246. How's my grandson supposed to toughen up
with you candying his ass?
Copy !req
247. Sir, when I got here
from Antioch College…
Copy !req
248. You're fired. Get out.
Copy !req
249. - You can't just fire me.
- Is that a fact?
Copy !req
250. Okay, Powderpuff,
Copy !req
251. I would like you to speak
to Clean Latrine Gene
Copy !req
252. who happens to be the chairman
of your board of trustees.
Copy !req
253. General Gene Jefford?
Copy !req
254. That's right.
Copy !req
255. Uh, h-hello. Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Copy !req
256. Very well, I…
Copy !req
257. Can I keep the Aeron desk chair?
Copy !req
258. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
259. Hey, after this
Copy !req
260. let's go to the mess and get a smoothie.
Copy !req
261. Grandpa?
Copy !req
262. Fall in!
Copy !req
263. The previous commander was just as soft
and ineffective as your parents,
Copy !req
264. and your parents are not paying
good money for that.
Copy !req
265. Now, I'm here to make sure
they get their money's worth.
Copy !req
266. With interest.
Copy !req
267. There's gonna be changes around here
and ain't none of you gonna like it.
Copy !req
268. Day is night, joy is pain, love is hate.
Copy !req
269. Good thinking, Private McFainty. Sleep up.
Copy !req
270. 'Cause starting at 0400 hours,
you don't gets no more.
Copy !req
271. See you at sunrise, weakies.
Copy !req
272. State your business.
Copy !req
273. Grandpa. Gampy. Ging-ging.
Copy !req
274. It's Bobby here. Your Bing-Bing.
Copy !req
275. I ain't your Ging-ging,
and you ain'ts my Bing-bing.
Copy !req
276. And if you think I'm giving you
special treatment, well
Copy !req
277. you're right on target.
Copy !req
278. Good, because I told the fellows…
Copy !req
279. Hush, boy. I will special treat you
to a double dose of pain.
Copy !req
280. Why?
Copy !req
281. I want you to come out
of this cauldron of burning hell
Copy !req
282. the best damn cadet you can be.
Copy !req
283. Thanks, but you don't have
to worry about that.
Copy !req
284. All we really want
is the phone service back
Copy !req
285. and the mattresses for our beds.
Copy !req
286. Quiet!
Copy !req
287. Now, your daddy tells me
you have a problem raking leaves.
Copy !req
288. Well, I guarantee
you won't have a problem raking leaves
Copy !req
289. after you've picked up every leaf
on this campus with
Copy !req
290. a fork.
Copy !req
291. Yeah. Ah…
Copy !req
292. What the hell are you doing, boy?
Copy !req
293. You gave me a fork,
so I figured I'd eat the leaves.
Copy !req
294. Boy, am I stuffed.
Copy !req
295. Just kidding, Grandpa. Ooh.
Copy !req
296. Maybe this is my fault
for not properly motivating you.
Copy !req
297. - If it's food you want…
- I could eat.
Copy !req
298. You don't want to rake
then maybe you need more energy.
Copy !req
299. This rotten pile of backwash
is all for you, boy.
Copy !req
300. And you're gonna keep shoveling it down
until it starts coming up.
Copy !req
301. Okay.
Copy !req
302. Ahh…
Copy !req
303. Dinner's over.
Copy !req
304. Now I'm gonna give you
something cold for dessert.
Copy !req
305. Okay.
Copy !req
306. Anything cracks if you freeze it
long enough.
Copy !req
307. How you doing, boy?
Copy !req
308. I'm okay.
Copy !req
309. Mom says I'm naturally built
for winter climates.
Copy !req
310. Goddang it.
Copy !req
311. You're going into the hole.
Copy !req
312. The hole's what broke me
and that's what's gonna break you, too.
Copy !req
313. Time to say goodbye, soldier.
Copy !req
314. Go and get in your grow-up box.
Copy !req
315. Ging-ging?
Copy !req
316. Quit your still-standing.
Copy !req
317. Start running till you hit the horizon.
Copy !req
318. Hyah!
Copy !req
319. See, Forky?
Copy !req
320. I just knew there was a better world
outside the cutlery drawer.
Copy !req
321. I wonder what Bobby's doing now?
Copy !req
322. Probably having a bull session
in the barracks with his new pals.
Copy !req
323. Bobby? Bobby, are you okay?
Copy !req
324. Tap once if you're okay.
Copy !req
325. Oh, hey, Didi.
Copy !req
326. I've got the new TV Guide here
Copy !req
327. with all the judge shows
circled like my dad likes.
Copy !req
328. Is he around?
Copy !req
329. - No. Cotton's at Fort Berk.
- What?
Copy !req
330. He has temporarily taken over the Academy.
Copy !req
331. Oh, my God, no.
Copy !req
332. Yes. He is ruling with an iron fist.
Copy !req
333. He threw Bobby in the hole
about three days ago.
Copy !req
334. He ain't gonna be a pretty sight, boys.
Copy !req
335. Humpty Dumpty's done cracked
Copy !req
336. but now we can put him back together
and rebuild him as a super-cadet.
Copy !req
337. Dad, are you crazy? Let him out.
Copy !req
338. I was just fixing to.
Copy !req
339. Bobby? Bobby?
Copy !req
340. Give him some air. Bobby?
Copy !req
341. Mm. Hmm?
Copy !req
342. Uh… oh.
Copy !req
343. Hey, Dad.
Copy !req
344. Ooh.
Copy !req
345. Well, I've tried a mattress,
I've tried cement…
Copy !req
346. I'm a mattress guy.
Copy !req
347. Bobby, you're okay?
Copy !req
348. Same 'ol, same 'ol.
Copy !req
349. I was merciless.
Copy !req
350. I dropped down on him
like a steam trunk full of concrete.
Copy !req
351. You didn't budge him, did you?
Copy !req
352. I… I don't get it. What's so funny?
Copy !req
353. I told you it wasn't easy.
You didn't believe me, did you, Dad?
Copy !req
354. I guess he was just born a pile of mush.
Copy !req
355. Well, I guess you could say that.
Copy !req
356. But maybe mush isn't all bad.
Copy !req
357. You can keep stomping on it,
but it's all give, it just stays mush.
Copy !req
358. You can't build it up
but you can't break it down, either.
Copy !req
359. In a funny way, mush kind of has the edge.
Copy !req
360. Can you imagine that pile of mush
in the POW camps?
Copy !req
361. He would've driven them Tojos crazy.
Copy !req
362. Three days with Bobby
and they would've quit the war.
Copy !req
363. I wish you could've seen
the old Fort Berk, Hank.
Copy !req
364. But I guess those days is gone.
Copy !req
365. You know, Colonel, all this time
I've been talking to you,
Copy !req
366. you didn't grant me permission to speak.
Copy !req
367. That's right.
Copy !req
368. That's practically insubordination.
Copy !req
369. You better drop and give me 20, boy.
Copy !req
370. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
371. Two, three, four.
Copy !req
372. No, no, you're doing it wrong, Cadet.
Start over.
Copy !req
373. How'd you do it, Bobby?
Copy !req
374. How'd you survive the hole?
Copy !req
375. Well, I admit, I started
getting a little worried.
Copy !req
376. But then I found some
inspirational graffiti on the wall
