9. Well, the free ride is over.

10. Hey, Hank.

11. Interested in lap dance?

12. No, Kahn.

13. I'm interested in you putting a privacy hedge in front of your bathroom window.

14. We all have them.

15. Hank made me plant two hedges.

16. I agree.

17. The ugly and the working class should have privacy hedges.

18. But you don't keep a Ferrari in the garage.

19. Mm.

20. Can Daletech do anything about getting me a privacy hedge?

21. To be honest, we're more into the invasion-of-privacy business

22. than the creation-of-privacy business.

23. Peggy, could you hurry up with that toast?

24. I want to get out of here before Kahn takes his shower.

25. - Bobby, did you drink my grapefruit juice? - Yeah. Sure, Dad.

26. I drank your grapefruit juice.

27. I had it with a big bowl of broccoli.

28. No, I didn't.

29. Fine. Call your lawyer.

30. Steak and eggs, bloody but not raw.

31. Grandpa?

32. Where's Grandma Dee-Dee and GH?

33. Going to visit her folks.

34. I'm flopping here.

47. Died six months ago.

48. Damn him.

49. Hank, your wife let the salt run out.

50. Which one's the salt?

51. Flour, sugar, dog food…

52. Soda pop?

53. Look, Hank, I realize Cotton is your father,

54. and you can't throw him out on the street, but the man drives me nuts.

55. We should send him to senior daycare.

56. They have daycare for seniors?

57. It's the newest craze.

58. Since life expectancy has spiraled out of control,

59. many nursery schools are being converted to accommodate seniors.

60. I'll pack him a sack lunch.

61. I couldn't do that to my dad.

62. He's just at loose ends.

63. You just missed the criminals who did this, Hank.

64. Sure am glad I'm protected by Daletech.

65. Were they about five-foot ten, wearing a baseball cap

66. and about to get their arse kicked by me?

67. Um… It all happened so fast, I, uh…

68. Hey, Hank, look. Propane.

69. D It's a dead man's party Who could ask for more? d.

70. Look at this, Hank's wife.

71. I've never seen a far easterner spend so much time primping.

72. Mm-mmm. Not now, Cotton. I'm busy.

73. He's got a half a bottle of pomade in his hair.

74. That man gets near a flame, he's gonna look like Chinese New Year.

75. What're you doing?

76. Some kind of woman's work?

77. Baking? Sewing?

78. Which one is it?

79. I am trying to make a crossword puzzle for my Es-pan-ol class.

80. - I need a four-letter word for… - Tent, food, ammo, guns, Tojo, horse…

81. - No, that's five. - Cotton.

82. This is a Spanish crossword.

83. Oh. Taco, bean, Cuba, peso, agua.

84. Hey, Hank. You forgot this.

85. Lucho. Lucho.

86. Grande. Enchilada!

87. What're you doing? Some kind of woman's work?

88. Now, all I need you to do is staple the Char King warranty cards

89. to the front of the owner's manuals.

90. Think you can handle that, Dad?

91. I made you, didn't I?

92. Mm-hmm?

93. So I sees you're in the market for a grill?

94. Yes, sir.

95. Uh, do you know if this model is self-cleaning?

96. Like a cat.

97. All you gots to do is, uh, push this red button.

98. So, uh, Dad, I thought you might enjoy this, uh, well, social club.

99. You brought me to a brothel.

100. Sorry about the murals but we're still in transition.

101. Don't matter to me, madam.

102. Where can I transition into my underpants?

103. Aw, did you have an accident?

104. You accept Blue Cross?

105. What kind of brothel is this?

106. It's an activities center.

107. It'll be fun, Dad. Just give it a chance.

108. Bye.

109. - Get him. - I'm not sleepy.

110. Come on. You think I'm used up?

111. I can outfight, out-drink, and outdo anyone I know.

112. Aaaah!

113. - Oof! - Easy now, sir.

114. Hmm, double murder in Detroit last night.

115. Wasn't protected by Daletech.

116. Oh, God. What now?

117. Hello, officers. Uh, what kind of trouble is my father in?

118. Sir, he's not in any trouble now that we got him out of that nursery school.

119. A war hero like your dad still has a lot to give to society.

120. I'm an auxiliary policeman now, sworn to serve and to protect.

121. What? Really?

122. With all the budget cuts, our manpower's been stretched to its limits.

123. That's why we started a senior division of citizens on patrol.

124. Officer Hill.

125. Well, this is great, Dad.

126. So what do you actually do?

127. You hang out at the station? Get the officers coffee?

128. - Answer phones? - No.

129. I gots myself a real beat.

130. The cops said I'm the eyes and ears of Rainey Street.

131. But Daletech's the eyes and ears of Rainey Street.

132. Not anymore.

133. Well, I think that's… that's…

134. - You sassing me? - No.

135. Too tight. Too tight!

136. All right. I'm in charge of keeping the peace now.

137. So if anyone thinks I'm not worth the spit to shine his shoe,

138. they'd better be ready to talk to me and my partner, Sergeant Whippy.

139. Well, that's great, Dad.

140. But, remember, you're supposed to be the eyes and ears of the neighborhood.

141. Not the… whippy.

142. Darn that Cotton.

143. They'll never pay for my Daletech service now that he's working for free.

144. Nope. Cotton's got to go.

145. But he's got Hank behind him, and Hank's the alpha neighbor.

146. I'm gamma or delta at best.

147. Well, I didn't get to be president of Daletech by playing by the rules.

148. So Operation Turn Everyone Against Cotton is in motion

149. now.

150. Sound's good, Shug.

151. Could you add the softener when the washer dings?

152. Oh, I'll add the softener on the ding.

153. I don't know, Hank.

154. Cotton working as a cop?

155. He has a terrible human-rights record.

156. Don't worry. I checked with the police department

157. and he doesn't have any actual police authority.

158. Well, I'm off to chop down that birdhouse.

159. - Too much chirping disturbs the peace. - Uh…

160. Dad, I don't think that's such a…

161. Dang it. Who moved this coffee table?

162. First, my grapefruit juice disappears.

163. Now someone's moving the coffee table.

164. Ah…

165. So you think someone's breaking in and messing with your stuff, do you?

166. No, Dad. I'm sure it's nothing.

167. Oh, well. I got some shopping to do.

168. Hank's wife, we'll be having sparrow eggs for breakfast tomorrow.

169. But, uh, you know, I'm not the police officer; You are.

170. Would you be willing to take on the case of who's drinking my juice

171. and moving my coffee table?

172. Hot berk. I had better get on it.

173. Cotton, that is an outdoor toy.

174. Ten-four, Manimal.

175. Hank, you can't really believe that someone's breaking in our house

176. just to drink your grapefruit juice?

177. No. But it'll keep him busy awhile.

178. You know, out of everyone's hair.

179. Hello, boys.

180. You off to play a little marbles, mumblety-peg, or

181. king of the coffee table?

182. We're gonna go shout swear words into a sewer pipe.

183. Not anymore.

184. This street's on lockdown

185. till I find out who's been messing with your daddy's stuff.

186. Now, move it.

187. Good work, Officer.

188. Those two look like some bad eggs, all right.

189. Can it, Gribble.

190. Someone's been tapping into my boy's grapefruit juice

191. and I means to find out who.

192. Put your finger down your throat.

193. Let me see what's in your gullet.

194. Okay. But I'm allergic to citrus.

195. I wish I wasn't because all Bill talks about is how good grapefruit juice is.

196. It's like he's rubbing it in my face.

197. Well, how do you like that?

198. A man who doesn't like juice has a juicer.

199. Maybe I ought to squeeze some truth out of you.

200. It was a wedding gift.

201. Dang it, wolfman.

202. Your belly beard done burned out the motor.

203. I'm gonna get the Dirt Devil.

204. Dale, you have to believe me. I didn't drink Hank's juice.

205. I know you didn't, Bill.

206. That power hungry rent-a-cop is just out to make a name for himself.

207. I'm just as scared as you are.

208. You've got to help me.

209. Well, you're not a member of Daletech

210. but I guess I could try to intervene just this once.

211. Thank you, Daletech.

212. Sir, you did it.

213. Bill broke down and implicated Boomhauer as the possible culprit.

214. Ah, you don't say.

215. Well, I guess I had better go pay Boomhauer a little visit.

216. I'm not gonna ask you again.

217. Did you drink my boy's grapefruit juice?

218. Goddang it, man. I don't drink nothing, man.

219. I'm talking about just trying to change my little oil here, man.

220. I like mangoes, man.

221. I believe you.

222. The weight of a jalopy always crushes the truth out of a man.

223. He called your car a jalopy.

224. That is literally adding insult to injury.

225. Dang it.

226. I don't know what kind of game is being played around here.

227. But everybody in this house knows the toilet paper goes over front.

228. Not…

229. Don't look at me like that.

230. You know what I'm talking about.

231. You are as crazy as your father.

232. You know what that old coot did to Luanne?

233. He cracked my driver's license in half with a big snaky thing

234. because I didn't blinker.

235. And he made me go to bed at 3:30 in the afternoon.

236. Look, I know dad can be a pain

237. but I haven't seen this kind of spark in him in a long time.

238. Besides, Luanne never uses her turn signal and Bobby gets cranky around four.

239. Look, Hank Hill. I'm wearing a bikini made of suds.

240. Dang butterfly.

241. Now I understand why lion tamers get mauled every so often.

242. Boy. I got to tell you, Hank,

243. things sure have gone to hell ever since Cotton got that badge.

244. Yeah, maybe that's partly my fault.

245. I guess I had better have a sit down with him.

246. Hmm. That might not be a good idea.

247. Cotton's self-esteem is as fragile as his elderly hips.

248. Hey, maybe we should have a neighborhood meeting

249. to let people blow off some steam in private.

250. You know, a bull session.

251. That's not a bad idea, Dale.

252. You're right. It's not a bad idea.

253. Not a bad idea at all.

254. It's the beer.

255. I just want to start this meeting off

256. by acknowledging that my dad can be a handful sometimes.

257. A handful of crap.

258. Well, I thought we were supposed to vent.

259. Go ahead. It's a safe environment.

260. What's said here stays here.

261. He pulled my belly hairs with a juicer.

262. It took me 16 years to get my first driver's license.

263. I'm too old to start over.

264. He keeps on pressing me to name Connie as a Communist.

265. I had to.

266. All right, everyone. Let's bring it down a couple notches.

267. You were right, Gribble.

268. They are all plotting against me.

269. We should rub grapefruit juice in his eye.

270. And slap him on a bus with a sack lunch.

271. All right.

272. I'm arresting everybody here

273. for conspiring to slander a police officer.

274. What? Dad, that's crazy.

275. And you.

276. All that stuff you claim's been messed with,

277. how do I know it ain't an inside job?

278. Maybe you done it for the insurance money.

279. You think I insure my juice against being drunk?

280. Tie him up.

281. Shush it. You're all suspects.

282. Now, if you cuff yourselves, it'll save you a beating.

283. Start cuffing.

284. No, don't hurt me.

285. Give me my whip, boy.

286. No. Dang it, Dad. You're out of control.

287. There is no mystery. I just gave you that as busywork.

288. But you even managed to screw that up.

289. But I'm a cop.

290. I keeps the peace.

291. I'm protecting the… juice.

292. Someone moves the table, I…

293. Dad, you're not a cop.

294. Now, give me your badge.

295. I don't want to have to call the real police.

296. Daletech, for all your home-security needs.

297. Daletech, for all your home-security needs.

298. So, who wants the new introductory surveillance package?

299. For an extra 30 bucks a month,

300. you'll get a closed-circuit feed of Bill's house.

301. Puts it all in perspective, believe me.

302. Oh, I believe you.

303. So where is Cotton? Let me guess.

304. Did he get busted down to doing cross guard duty?

305. No. He's making macaroni art down at the Sunset Day Center.

306. Really?

307. He's back in gray care?

308. I thought he had more fight in him than that.

309. No. Losing that badge seemed to really take it out of him.

310. Well, I'd better go pick him up.

311. Well, maybe I'll come along and bring the colonel a balloon.

312. Not as a potential client, just as a guy, you know,

313. who's down and could use a balloon.

314. Hey, peeping Tom.

315. After speed-walk, I take shower.

316. See you in half an hour.

317. No hedge.

318. Ah. I see you painted a picture.

319. This must be a symbolic painting of how he feels inside.

320. Is this how you feel inside?

321. - Sort of. - Yep.

322. See, that's you, Hank, yelling and embarrassing him in front of everyone.

323. Oo. There's me.

324. Come on, Dad. You can finish that tomorrow.

325. Hey, Dad, want to grab a beer in the alley?

326. Nah, I'm just gonna go to bed.

327. I need to get up early and find three aerosol-can tops for my craft project.

328. Boy, I hate to see your dad like this.

329. Why don't I just look after him

330. so he doesn't have to go back to that place tomorrow?

331. - You'd do that? - Sure.

332. Daletech's a bust.

333. Guess it's the wrong economic climate to be an expensive,

334. poorly trained visionary.

335. You really shouldn't feel so worthless.

336. I'm much more of a burden on my family and I feel great.

337. The show's over.

338. I can't stand to see you like this, sir.

339. I'm the one who broke you. So I'm gonna fix this.

340. Hey, did you ever see One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

341. You're Jack Nicholson.

342. Are you crazy?

343. This might be easier if you lie down.

344. Now you're showing some life.

345. Jeez. This kind of complicates things.

346. Hey. Hey, wait. Wait.

347. I know that smell.

348. Someone has been monkeying around in my boy's house.

349. And I know who it is.

350. Good for you, sir.

351. Hot berk. I'm not some old screw-up.

352. Now all I needs is some proof.

353. Gribble, I'm hiring Daletech.

354. Oh, no.

355. I've soiled myself.

356. It's okay, sir.

357. They'll change you at the Sunset Day Center

358. where we will be all day.

359. The trap has been set.

360. Now the waiting begins.

361. God, the waiting is interminable, isn't it?

362. Hello, Mr. Kahn.

363. I don't know what you're talking about.

364. You think I drink juice and move hillbilly furniture around?

365. I know you did.

366. Nobody in my boy's house or even in this neighborhood uses pomade.

367. I can smell it on you.

368. And I can smell it on this pillow.

369. Now confess.

370. You have no proof.

371. Who gonna believe you?

372. You just some crazy old man.

373. Oh, yeah?

374. Hello?

375. Coast clear.

376. Hey, slow down.

377. That juice expensive for poor hillbillies like us.

378. Oh, you right. I shouldn't have done that.

379. I'm a very bad redneck, Peggy Hill.

380. Okay, you caught me.

381. I drink Hank's juice. Let's call it a day.

382. Hey, you…

383. Mm, maybe I teach you a lesson.

384. After all, I'm always blabbing about being a substitute teacher.

385. Does Hank Hill know about this?

386. If he did, you wouldn't be alive.

387. You look as sexy to me as propane tank, I tell you what.

388. I promise never to do it again.

389. We go back to library reading room if we need cheap thrill.

390. Please don't tell Hank Hill.

391. I'll give you anything you want.

392. I don't need anything from you but my boy does.

393. I want you to give him his privacy hedge.

394. You're gonna pay for it.

395. You're gonna build it.

396. And you're gonna thank him for the privilege.

397. And you have to subscribe to a year of Daletech Services.

398. Okay.

399. Hey, this tape pretty good. Can I keep it?

400. Huh. I didn't even know there was a case. And you solved it.

401. Who would have guessed it was Kahn?

402. I didn't guess, boy.

403. I did some old fashioned police work.

404. Well, however you did it, good job.

405. Officer Hill, Rainey Street thanks you.

406. You impersonating an officer, boy? Put that hand down.

407. I still don't see what's so funny about you sneaking in my house

408. just to move stuff around.

409. Oh, yeah. Real funny in Laos.

410. Number-one reality show.

411. I'm not sleepy.
