1. How's it going, Joe Jack?
Copy !req
2. I lost my bathroom key again, honey.
Copy !req
3. Mr. Strickland?
Copy !req
4. Yeah. Hank, I just lost a pile of money
and a pair of Eye-talian loafers
Copy !req
5. to that sleaze bag Lane Pratley.
Copy !req
6. Oh, and you can cancel the morning run
to Strickland North.
Copy !req
7. I lost that, too.
Copy !req
8. I got to take my mind off my boo-hoos.
Copy !req
9. Donna. Find me that website
Copy !req
10. where the elephant does his business
on the man's head.
Copy !req
11. Sir, I… I don't like
to ask personal questions,
Copy !req
12. but… are you okay?
Copy !req
13. - My wife threw me out.
- What?
Copy !req
14. Yeah. I had Donna over at the house.
Copy !req
15. The old crow found us
in flagrante on the credenza.
Copy !req
16. It's all over.
Copy !req
17. She said she could handle
my drinking binges
Copy !req
18. and my gambling
Copy !req
19. and even turn a blind eye
to my extramarital escapades
Copy !req
20. but not when they happen all at once,
and on her birthday.
Copy !req
21. Ah! I don't know what to do anymore, Hank.
Copy !req
22. Uh…
Copy !req
23. There, there, sir.
Copy !req
24. Today we start cross-country.
Copy !req
25. Every day for the next two weeks,
Copy !req
26. you kids are gonna be running.
Copy !req
27. For those of you a little overweight
Copy !req
28. or not athletic, this will be difficult,
Copy !req
29. but so will life. Now go.
Copy !req
30. Uh, Coach.
Copy !req
31. If you don't mind,
I prefer to play to my strengths.
Copy !req
32. Why don't I just hang back
and hold the clipboard?
Copy !req
33. Oh, move it, Hill.
Copy !req
34. Hey, Maggie,
Copy !req
35. if we stay together,
neither one of us will be last.
Copy !req
36. I let you hide behind me in dodgeball.
Copy !req
37. I'm through with you.
Copy !req
38. Huh?
Copy !req
39. Oh… Oh…
Copy !req
40. Mm…
Copy !req
41. My running days are over.
Copy !req
42. I'm home.
Copy !req
43. Table for one near the air conditioner.
Copy !req
44. Sorry, kid, this is high tea.
Copy !req
45. We require a jacket and tie
Copy !req
46. and long pants and no sneakers.
Copy !req
47. Doesn't passion count for anything?
Copy !req
48. My Bible study teacher
is going on vacation,
Copy !req
49. and he won't let me be
the substitute teacher while he's gone.
Copy !req
50. I think he's just jealous
of my close relationship with Jesus.
Copy !req
51. Oh, Luanne, give him more credit.
Copy !req
52. Maybe he genuinely thinks
you won't be good at it.
Copy !req
53. Nobody has any faith in me.
Copy !req
54. I'm telling Jesus that
you weren't any help.
Copy !req
55. You are not gonna believe
what's happened at work.
Copy !req
56. Buck gambled away Strickland North.
Copy !req
57. It's gone. Gone.
Copy !req
58. And you are surprised by this behavior?
Copy !req
59. Hank, the man is a lying, cheating,
Copy !req
60. drunken, gambling,
Copy !req
61. philandering adulterer.
Copy !req
62. I know he has his demons,
Copy !req
63. but he's also the guy
who took me under his wing
Copy !req
64. and brought me into the world of propane
and propane accessories.
Copy !req
65. There's a money-back guarantee on those.
Copy !req
66. It's not the store's policy.
It's just mine.
Copy !req
67. You do a damn fine job
of selling dungarees there,
Copy !req
68. uh… Hank,
Copy !req
69. but let me tell you what I'm selling.
Copy !req
70. Propane.
Copy !req
71. Huh.
Copy !req
72. Propane.
Copy !req
73. He was a window
into the exciting world
Copy !req
74. of clean-burning heat.
Copy !req
75. Yeah. You keep these tanks shiny and clean
Copy !req
76. they reflect more sunlight
and stay cooler.
Copy !req
77. That means less gas escapes
through this here valve, see?
Copy !req
78. I can't turn my back on him.
Copy !req
79. Without Buck, I'd be selling pants.
Copy !req
80. I'd never tell him this, but…
Copy !req
81. I think of him as a… a mentor.
Copy !req
82. Really? I thought I was your mentor.
Copy !req
83. I'm worried, fellows.
Copy !req
84. Buck's never been this bad,
Copy !req
85. and this time, I'm afraid he's gonna take
the business down with him.
Copy !req
86. You know what a friend would do?
Copy !req
87. He'd get me to burn down
Copy !req
88. said other friend's failing business
for the insurance money.
Copy !req
89. Just say the word
Copy !req
90. or don't.
Copy !req
91. I'll get the signal.
Copy !req
92. Just nod your head.
Copy !req
93. Or don't.
Copy !req
94. Shut up, Dale.
Copy !req
95. So, we're on.
Copy !req
96. Buck's back on the floor.
Copy !req
97. You got to buy this grill.
Copy !req
98. I need the money.
Copy !req
99. There's a horse
that can make all this right.
Copy !req
100. You got cash?
Copy !req
101. Huh? Huh?
Copy !req
102. Uh… sir, why don't I take you home?
Copy !req
103. Good idea.
Copy !req
104. No, wait a second.
Copy !req
105. Okay.
Copy !req
106. I'm so got dang lonely.
Copy !req
107. Hey, you know, before I drop you off,
Copy !req
108. there's someone I'd like
to introduce you to.
Copy !req
109. I think you two might hit it off.
Copy !req
110. Can we go yet?
Copy !req
111. No, not until you hear me out.
Copy !req
112. Sir, the flame in you has grown dim,
Copy !req
113. but if you'll just take your hands
off the valve,
Copy !req
114. and let Him in, the Lord
will fill you with His gas.
Copy !req
115. So I'll just
Copy !req
116. leave you two by yourselves here.
Copy !req
117. You probably have a lot
of catching up to do.
Copy !req
118. You cannot fix Buck Strickland.
Copy !req
119. He is drowning in a sea
of his own addictions,
Copy !req
120. and if there is one thing
that I learned at YWCA camp,
Copy !req
121. you cannot save a drowning man.
Copy !req
122. Ah…
Copy !req
123. I used to like that song.
Copy !req
124. Now it scares me.
Copy !req
125. Greetings, fellow Christians.
Copy !req
126. Ah, there's the shepherd
Copy !req
127. that brought this lost sheep
back into the fold.
Copy !req
128. I did?
Copy !req
129. Huh. So it worked.
Copy !req
130. Bless you, Hank.
Copy !req
131. Well, in fairness,
I didn't really do anything.
Copy !req
132. I just alley-ooped you to the Lord.
Copy !req
133. Well, you brought me to church
Copy !req
134. where I met an angel
who showed me the light.
Copy !req
135. This woman is gonna keep me
on the straight and narrow path
Copy !req
136. to the promised land.
Copy !req
137. Praise be.
Copy !req
138. Nothing but net, Lord.
Copy !req
139. I understand why God loves Buck,
he has to,
Copy !req
140. but what kind of pathetic doormat
of a woman would fall for him?
Copy !req
141. Come on, Peggy.
Copy !req
142. I bet she's just some nice old lady
who used to be a nurse or something.
Copy !req
143. You know how those churchy types are.
Copy !req
144. They like a fixer-upper.
Copy !req
145. Hey, Uncle Hank, Aunt Peggy.
Copy !req
146. Look who I saved.
Copy !req
147. Hallelujah.
Copy !req
148. Good Lord.
Copy !req
149. What the hell is going on here?
Copy !req
150. A private Bible study class.
Copy !req
151. Praise the Lord.
Copy !req
152. Luanne, Platter family conference
on the patio, ahora.
Copy !req
153. Is he hitting on you?
Is he coming on to you?
Copy !req
154. Has he put his hands on you?
What has he done to you?
Copy !req
155. Nothing, Aunt Peggy.
Copy !req
156. I found him at the church,
and he was so sad and lost.
Copy !req
157. I told him about the word of God,
Copy !req
158. and he volunteered me
to be his private Bible tutor.
Copy !req
159. Me. A Bible tutor.
Copy !req
160. Luanne, you're on the naive side.
Copy !req
161. But even you cannot be
buying this horse manure.
Copy !req
162. Buck is my student.
Copy !req
163. I am his teacher.
Copy !req
164. And the Lord is our principal.
Copy !req
165. And until He rings the bell,
class will not be dismissed.
Copy !req
166. Uh… are you trying
to date my niece, sir?
Copy !req
167. Now, Ol' Top, I don't blame you
for thinking the worst of me,
Copy !req
168. but I'm a changed man.
Copy !req
169. Now, if you'll excuse us,
Copy !req
170. we have to get back to class.
Copy !req
171. You know, Luanne, it's awful hot out here.
Copy !req
172. Uh, maybe next week
we could study in the pool.
Copy !req
173. Bible class in the pool?
Copy !req
174. Like a baptism.
Copy !req
175. Yeah, I'll bring my swimsuit.
Copy !req
176. Are these English cucumbers
in the cucumber sandwiches?
Copy !req
177. The regular ones come back on me.
Copy !req
178. I don't know.
Copy !req
179. Well, would you find out for me, please?
Copy !req
180. It's so nice to see
such a refined young man.
Copy !req
181. My grandson steals from me.
Copy !req
182. Would you care to join us?
Copy !req
183. That depends. Would you care
to share your lemon curd?
Copy !req
184. Oh, hmm.
Copy !req
185. Hank, you've been very unclear
on this whole thing.
Copy !req
186. Do you or do you not want me
to burn down your workplace?
Copy !req
187. Dang it, Dale, I don't want you
going anywhere near Strickland.
Copy !req
188. Things have been great
since Buck found religion.
Copy !req
189. Again, your words say "no,"
Copy !req
190. but your body language says,
"torch that sucker."
Copy !req
191. Un-be-freakin-lievable.
Copy !req
192. Peggy, will you knock it off?
Copy !req
193. Why can't you just accept
the man's been saved?
Copy !req
194. It doesn't cost you anything.
Copy !req
195. They are in the pool, Hank.
Copy !req
196. Luanne is in her bikini.
Copy !req
197. Her hair is wet. Sopping wet.
Copy !req
198. Well, she's supposed to be
giving him a Bible lesson.
Copy !req
199. I'm gonna make sure
it stays a Bible lesson.
Copy !req
200. So, that's why it's better
to be a little bird sitting in heaven
Copy !req
201. than to be the biggest,
toughest grizzly bear in hell.
Copy !req
202. Do you know what I mean?
Copy !req
203. Yes?
Copy !req
204. Yay.
Copy !req
205. - Fellowship hug.
- Whoo.
Copy !req
206. Amen to that.
Copy !req
207. Dude, what are you doing with her?
Copy !req
208. This is a Bible study class, Joseph.
Copy !req
209. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
210. Um… I like the Bible. A bunch.
Copy !req
211. Well, come on in.
Copy !req
212. I thought this was
a private Bible tutorial.
Copy !req
213. There's enough God to go around.
Copy !req
214. Need another student?
Copy !req
215. Uncle Hank, you're joining the class?
Copy !req
216. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
217. Bible-ing up, dude.
Copy !req
218. Joseph, go home.
Copy !req
219. Nuh-uh, hold on.
This is my Bible study class.
Copy !req
220. And all of God's creatures are welcome.
Even Joseph.
Copy !req
221. Oh, Bobby, you are a delight.
Copy !req
222. Pearl, we should fix him up
with your niece.
Copy !req
223. - How old is she?
- Thirty-seven.
Copy !req
224. Okay, the thing about camels
going through the eye of a needle,
Copy !req
225. it's not good for the camels,
Copy !req
226. so you can understand
why it's not good to be rich.
Copy !req
227. - Totally.
- I'm as good as broke.
Copy !req
228. I'm losing everything in the divorce.
Copy !req
229. Hey, is this the Bible study
in the pool class?
Copy !req
230. Principal Moss?
Copy !req
231. Pratley.
Copy !req
232. Aw, rooster poop.
Copy !req
233. You got my flyer.
Copy !req
234. We sure did, Teach.
Copy !req
235. And that picture does not do you justice.
Copy !req
236. Oh, dang, I forgot my Bible.
Copy !req
237. I'll just kind of look off yours here,
Miss Luanne.
Copy !req
238. Okay, but next time,
you'd better remember.
Copy !req
239. Remember-iness is next to holiness.
Copy !req
240. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on here.
Copy !req
241. Uh, we don't want to distract the teacher.
Copy !req
242. Principal Moss, you can look on with me.
Copy !req
243. Okay, then.
Copy !req
244. Now, Luanne,
weren't you and Buck discussing
Copy !req
245. the importance of the commandments
Copy !req
246. and why you shouldn't
covet things and such?
Copy !req
247. Yeah, as a matter of fact, Luanne…
Copy !req
248. Hey, can I get in on this?
Copy !req
249. Well, who the heck are you?
Copy !req
250. Octavio, dude.
Copy !req
251. We're trying to talk about the Bible here.
Copy !req
252. Oh, sure, ese. I'm way into it.
Copy !req
253. Hey, look what I got. Jesus.
Copy !req
254. Oh, that's beautiful.
Copy !req
255. Hey, that's Rob Zombie.
Copy !req
256. Shut up, kid.
Copy !req
257. He got my Bible wet.
Copy !req
258. Okay, Joseph, Octavio,
no more fellowship hugs.
Copy !req
259. Not until you show me
you're here to learn the Bible,
Copy !req
260. not get it wet.
Copy !req
261. Pearl, I talked to my doctor
about you yesterday,
Copy !req
262. and he agrees with me,
Copy !req
263. you've got to cut down on the salt.
Copy !req
264. He's coming in.
Copy !req
265. Just act natural and pass me the scones.
Copy !req
266. I, uh, I thought I saw someone I know.
Copy !req
267. Mind if I take a look around?
Copy !req
268. Sorry, sir, we have a dress code.
Copy !req
269. Ties for men, no tube tops for the ladies.
Copy !req
270. Ah… Uh-huh.
Copy !req
271. So, Paul was named Saul
Copy !req
272. until he saw Jesus on the road to Damascus
and changed his ways.
Copy !req
273. That's right. Fellowship hug. Ooh.
Copy !req
274. Oh, boy.
Copy !req
275. So, when the Bible says,
Copy !req
276. "He is without sin
should cast the first stone"
Copy !req
277. what it's saying is…
Copy !req
278. - It's saying…
- What it's saying is,
Copy !req
279. is we should look at our own sins.
Copy !req
280. Try to be better people.
Copy !req
281. Yes. But if you…
Copy !req
282. Sure, but you can't be a better person
just by acting all righteous and stuff.
Copy !req
283. It says right here
in the Book of Acts that…
Copy !req
284. Wait, uh, the red letters
are the Jesus words, right?
Copy !req
285. Uh, Luanne, if Buck could just…
Copy !req
286. I've got a testimony.
Copy !req
287. Now you all may have read
the story of the prodigal son,
Copy !req
288. but fellow Christians, I have lived it.
Copy !req
289. I have strayed far and long
from the path of the righteous.
Copy !req
290. I have sinned, I have lied,
Copy !req
291. I have fornicated
on stolen antique furniture.
Copy !req
292. But I will tell you this.
Copy !req
293. The good Lord sets
the most beautiful table
Copy !req
294. for the son who's eaten
from the most dumpsters.
Copy !req
295. As someone who has eaten from dumpsters…
Copy !req
296. - Oh.
- That's someone you'd normally want…
Copy !req
297. - Wow.
- To follow.
Copy !req
298. You know, I have to admit,
Buck is a changed man.
Copy !req
299. Luanne must be one heck
of a Bible teacher.
Copy !req
300. Yep, I guess she really
got through to him.
Copy !req
301. And all that time in the water's
been good for his phlebitis.
Copy !req
302. Sorry to interrupt,
Copy !req
303. but I had something very important
to tell you two.
Copy !req
304. I'm an old-fashioned man,
Copy !req
305. and as Luanne's nearest
unincarcerated kin,
Copy !req
306. I wanted you to be the first to know,
Copy !req
307. I'm going to ask Luanne to marry me.
Copy !req
308. Wow, Buck and Luanne.
Copy !req
309. - Wow.
- Well, uh
Copy !req
310. uh, I guess it was inevitable. I…
Copy !req
311. Women from broken homes
always look for a father figure.
Copy !req
312. I guess technically,
Buck is more of a grandfather figure,
Copy !req
313. but I guess that might even be healthier.
Copy !req
314. Well, there,
I've made it palatable for myself.
Copy !req
315. And Luanne's been a pretty good
influence on Buck.
Copy !req
316. Did you see him? He was clean-cut, polite,
Copy !req
317. he wasn't even sweating vodka.
Copy !req
318. And when Buck's in good shape,
so is Strickland Propane.
Copy !req
319. Hank, do you realize if they marry,
Copy !req
320. - Buck will be our nephew.
- Huh.
Copy !req
321. You know, Buck will probably lose
his house in the divorce,
Copy !req
322. and move in with Luanne.
Copy !req
323. He and I could drive to work together.
Copy !req
324. Luanne, you've changed
this ornery old jackass
Copy !req
325. into a noble pack mule.
Copy !req
326. But this mule don't want to walk
life's treacherous mountain path alone.
Copy !req
327. Luanne Platter,
will you have me as your husband?
Copy !req
328. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
329. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
330. - Of course not.
- Jibbit?
Copy !req
331. Mr. Strickland, that's so crazy.
Copy !req
332. You're very nice,
Copy !req
333. but you're totally old.
Copy !req
334. I like young guys
Copy !req
335. who love Jesus, but have fitness,
Copy !req
336. and hair.
Copy !req
337. Yeah, but…
No, no, you see… I… I got…
Copy !req
338. She, she… spurned me.
Copy !req
339. I've been spurned!
Copy !req
340. She what?
Copy !req
341. She toyed with my affections.
Copy !req
342. She was only doing it
to get me to the Lord.
Copy !req
343. How sick is that?
Copy !req
344. Sir, wait.
Copy !req
345. Luanne, what happened?
Copy !req
346. Buck just wanted to marry me,
and I said no.
Copy !req
347. Well, he looked pretty upset.
Copy !req
348. And when Buck's upset,
he dives straight into his addictions.
Copy !req
349. Oh, that's okay.
Copy !req
350. He's totally addicted to Jesus now.
Copy !req
351. Earl Grey. Come on, give me a tough one.
Copy !req
352. Bobby Hill.
Copy !req
353. You just ate your last
Copy !req
354. thingie.
Copy !req
355. Muffin? Pastry? What… whatever!
Copy !req
356. Move it!
Copy !req
357. Congratulations, Mr. Fybel.
Copy !req
358. I'll be out there tomorrow
to personally hook up your new tanks.
Copy !req
359. Well, what are you all looking at,
Copy !req
360. you heathens?
Copy !req
361. No, sir.
Copy !req
362. Not on the premises, and certainly
not during business hours.
Copy !req
363. Fine, then.
Copy !req
364. Hank, let's you and me
go bet on the ponies.
Copy !req
365. I'll just get some cash from the safe.
Copy !req
366. Don't bother, sir.
Copy !req
367. I changed the combination.
Copy !req
368. But it's always been my birthday.
Copy !req
369. Well, now it's my birthday.
Copy !req
370. You've been here 20 years.
Copy !req
371. I… I know your birthday. I know it.
It's, uh… Sept… Sepover…
Copy !req
372. Septober, uh, 22, 20… 29… uh…
Copy !req
373. Mm. Mm.
Copy !req
374. Hank, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
375. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
376. Don't we have a boy
who comes and does this?
Copy !req
377. Yeah, but the better
these tanks are polished,
Copy !req
378. the more sunlight they reflect,
the cooler they stay
Copy !req
379. and the less propane escapes
through that valve.
Copy !req
380. That valve… yeah.
Copy !req
381. I taught you that.
Copy !req
382. You know, Buck, maybe Luanne
and her Bible class in the pool
Copy !req
383. was His way of getting your attention.
Copy !req
384. So you could see what's really important.
