1. Buon giorno, what can I get you?
Copy !req
2. Well, what do you recommend
to a couple of real big spenders?
Copy !req
3. My boyfriend likes the surf n' turf.
Copy !req
4. Medium cheese pizza, two waters. Tap.
Copy !req
5. Thanks for inviting me out, sir.
Copy !req
6. Yeah, yeah, well,
this ain't a social call, son.
Copy !req
7. You know the Strickland
Propane Family Fun Day?
Copy !req
8. The Strickland Propane Family Fun Day?
Copy !req
9. We haven't done that in five years.
Copy !req
10. Well, glad you liked it
Copy !req
11. 'cause this party
is what I'm giving everyone
Copy !req
12. instead of health insurance
Copy !req
13. so we can't mess it up.
Copy !req
14. That's why I'm putting you in charge.
Copy !req
15. I will treat this picnic
with all the gravity
Copy !req
16. and seriousness it requires.
Copy !req
17. Good evening and buon giorno.
Copy !req
18. The live entertainment portion
of our evening is about to begin,
Copy !req
19. so would you please
Copy !req
20. give a warm welcome to John Redcorn
Copy !req
21. and Big Mountain Fudgecake.
Copy !req
22. John Redcorn?
Copy !req
23. Maria's Pasta and Pizza,
are you ready to rock?
Copy !req
24. Let's get the hell out of here!
Copy !req
25. So, sir?
Copy !req
26. What specifically did you have in mind
for this picnic?
Copy !req
27. Uh-uh! I delegated.
Copy !req
28. You're the lead monkey
on the back of this ostrich.
Copy !req
29. So go make me a picnic!
Copy !req
30. Hank.
Copy !req
31. Oh, uh, hey, John Redcorn.
Copy !req
32. You finished already?
Copy !req
33. We are finished forever.
Copy !req
34. Got fired from playing for free.
Copy !req
35. It don't get any lower than that.
Copy !req
36. That dang manager never got
what Fudgecake is all about.
Copy !req
37. No one ever does.
Copy !req
38. We're either ahead of our times
Copy !req
39. or possibly way behind,
Copy !req
40. stuck in some more classical time.
Copy !req
41. But either way, us and our times
Copy !req
42. aren't seeing eye to eye.
Copy !req
43. Yeah, well, uh, I'm sure you
and your times will work it out.
Copy !req
44. I couldn't help overhearing
you have a big event coming up.
Copy !req
45. Yeah…
Copy !req
46. And we sure could use a break, Hank.
Copy !req
47. Well, uh…
Copy !req
48. Don't you like to rock?
Copy !req
49. Wow, you're sure giving me
Copy !req
50. a lot to think about here,
Copy !req
51. uh, but I got the family waiting at home.
Copy !req
52. I'll get to work on him.
Copy !req
53. Dangit!
Copy !req
54. That is the third piece
of toast you've broken.
Copy !req
55. And you're always
so careful with your toast.
Copy !req
56. What's wrong?
Copy !req
57. Strickland Family Fun Day.
Copy !req
58. Do you think if I got good enough meats
Copy !req
59. it would count as entertainment?
Copy !req
60. You got to have live entertainment, Dad!
Copy !req
61. Music, magic…
Copy !req
62. Some people even do both.
Copy !req
63. Entertainment is the only thing
that distracts people
Copy !req
64. from realizing how much
they don't like each other.
Copy !req
65. So what am I gonna be
listening to while I eat this?
Copy !req
66. I don't know.
Copy !req
67. Finding a band for under a hundred dollars
Copy !req
68. is harder than you think.
Copy !req
69. Hey, Hank!
Copy !req
70. Uh, the picnic's going great, sir.
Copy !req
71. Good, good.
Copy !req
72. 'Cause I just got back
from Strickland West,
Copy !req
73. and they've had a tough year
Copy !req
74. in terms of general disgruntlement.
Copy !req
75. Really need this picnic to be fun.
Copy !req
76. You see what kind of pressure I'm under?
Copy !req
77. You're like one of them astronauts, honey.
Copy !req
78. - Hank?
- Uh…
Copy !req
79. Hey, John Redcorn.
Copy !req
80. Did you find a band for your picnic?
Copy !req
81. No, he didn't.
Copy !req
82. And the poor bastard's
all twisted up over it.
Copy !req
83. In the animal kingdom,
Copy !req
84. many animals work together in symbiosis.
Copy !req
85. The oxpecker bird will eat
the ticks and parasites off a zebra.
Copy !req
86. You and I can be zebra and oxpecker, too.
Copy !req
87. But why don't I let
our demo tape do the talking?
Copy !req
88. Okay, I'm sorry, John Redcorn.
Copy !req
89. I'm not hiring you. No way.
Copy !req
90. I… I see…
Copy !req
91. You know, you start doing massage
to pay the bills
Copy !req
92. and you tell yourself,
Copy !req
93. "Just a few more years of this, Johnny."
Copy !req
94. And one day you look up, and you're 40.
Copy !req
95. You're 40, Hank!
Copy !req
96. Okay, there, John Redcorn,
Copy !req
97. you, uh, you make some good points.
Copy !req
98. Look, maybe you should stop
waiting for other people
Copy !req
99. to make things happen for you.
Copy !req
100. What does that mean?
Copy !req
101. Uh, well… maybe what you need to do
Copy !req
102. is to, uh, bet on yourself.
Copy !req
103. A lot of really successful people
did that.
Copy !req
104. Bet on myself?
Copy !req
105. Sure…
Copy !req
106. It's your dream, you make it happen.
Copy !req
107. Bet on yourself.
Copy !req
108. Wow, Hank.
Copy !req
109. You are very wise.
Copy !req
110. Thank you. Thank you.
Copy !req
111. Dangit, Joe Jack,
that helium is for the picnic.
Copy !req
112. Sorry, buddy.
Copy !req
113. The guy asked me
if I wanted honey mustard,
Copy !req
114. and I almost took a swing at him.
Copy !req
115. Long story short, I got
a good deal on classic yellow.
Copy !req
116. The pony guy said what?
Copy !req
117. What the hell is pony season?
Copy !req
118. What in the…
Copy !req
119. Joe Jack, I'm gonna have to call you back.
Copy !req
120. Hey, John Redcorn, what's going on?
Copy !req
121. Doing a little improvement on your land?
Copy !req
122. I'm doing an improvement on my life.
Copy !req
123. On all of our lives.
Copy !req
124. You said it.
Copy !req
125. Isn't it exciting?
Copy !req
126. I'm following your advice, Hank.
Copy !req
127. No more relying on other people
Copy !req
128. to wake up and "get" us.
Copy !req
129. Now, I'm gonna have a permanent place
to play with my band.
Copy !req
130. I'm betting on myself
and opening a casino.
Copy !req
131. But that's crazy.
Copy !req
132. No, it's brilliant.
Copy !req
133. Now we have a permanent venue
for Fudgecake to play.
Copy !req
134. Like Wayne Newton and the Stardust.
Copy !req
135. You're a genius, Uncle Hank.
Copy !req
136. Oh, God!
Copy !req
137. So John Redcorn is opening a casino.
Copy !req
138. I always wanted to see
a white tiger before I died.
Copy !req
139. I feel like it's my fault.
Copy !req
140. I'm the one who told him
to bet on himself.
Copy !req
141. If I wasn't so dang busy
finding entertainment for this picnic,
Copy !req
142. maybe I could've done something
to stop him.
Copy !req
143. Relax, Hank.
Copy !req
144. You know what loosens
the caboose of any party?
Copy !req
145. Big Mountain Fudgecake!
Copy !req
146. - Want me to see if they're available?
- No.
Copy !req
147. They've got a super boffo
Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Copy !req
148. meets Deep Purple
versus ELO kind of sound.
Copy !req
149. What are you, their manager?
Copy !req
150. Yes!
Copy !req
151. Can you believe the slot was open?
Copy !req
152. I guess you were wrong, Hank.
Copy !req
153. Dreams do come true.
Copy !req
154. Evening, gentlemen.
Copy !req
155. Where can I find John Redcorn?
Copy !req
156. Oh, he's the visionary right over there,
Copy !req
157. the one dripping with sex appeal
and turquoise jewelry.
Copy !req
158. Hello, brother Indian.
Copy !req
159. I am Henry Mankiller
with the Tribal Gaming Corporation.
Copy !req
160. You got my e-mail!
Copy !req
161. Cool website.
Copy !req
162. Yes, and I hope you are
enjoying your subscription
Copy !req
163. to Gaming Nation.
Copy !req
164. Exactly what kind of Indian are you?
Copy !req
165. I am 1/64th Creek on my mother's side.
Copy !req
166. So about your casino.
Copy !req
167. Actually, it's just temporary.
Copy !req
168. To get our band going. Let's show him.
Copy !req
169. This is where the drum solo usually goes.
Copy !req
170. Hm. With a sound like that,
Copy !req
171. you're not gonna need gaming for long.
Copy !req
172. I completely get that.
Copy !req
173. But we can accelerate the process.
Copy !req
174. We are, after all,
in the dream building business.
Copy !req
175. We got a dream that needs building.
Copy !req
176. You see, we are one-stop shopping
for everything casino.
Copy !req
177. We can save you the hassles of dealing
Copy !req
178. with the white man's loan officers
by financing everything
Copy !req
179. through our tribal development division.
Copy !req
180. That means your band
Copy !req
181. is making gold records that much faster.
Copy !req
182. This pen has been used
by many of our people
Copy !req
183. to apply for financing.
Copy !req
184. Do I look like I know what a JPEG is?
Copy !req
185. I just want a picture
of a goddang hot dog!
Copy !req
186. Dad, the news is not good.
Copy !req
187. Swing band, no.
Copy !req
188. Fifties tribute band, no.
Copy !req
189. Even the polka band, no.
Copy !req
190. Well, there was this one guy.
Copy !req
191. I think he felt sorry for us.
Copy !req
192. His name is Bloomers.
Copy !req
193. He does "imagitainment."
Copy !req
194. Well, I have a band.
Copy !req
195. Call Bloomers.
Copy !req
196. All right. You're almost there.
A little bit more. That's it.
Copy !req
197. Let's open with I Need Money.
Copy !req
198. We can transition to Gotta Get Money
Copy !req
199. and do a whole money medley.
Copy !req
200. I love that song!
Copy !req
201. We are gonna do some serious rocking.
Copy !req
202. And then people
are gonna hear us and love us,
Copy !req
203. and we're gonna be huge.
Copy !req
204. This is so exciting!
Copy !req
205. Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Copy !req
206. I bought a whole bunch
of make-ups for y'all to wear.
Copy !req
207. Uh, Luanne?
Copy !req
208. Can I speak to you, outside?
Copy !req
209. Listen, Yoko.
Copy !req
210. I'm the manager of this act,
Copy !req
211. and I'm sick of you trying
to split them apart.
Copy !req
212. What's a Yoko?
Copy !req
213. Okay, missy, that's it!
Copy !req
214. If you ever come within
100 feet of Fudgecake again,
Copy !req
215. I will spend the rest of my life
making you miserable.
Copy !req
216. I'm gonna… my purse is inside…
Copy !req
217. - Get!
- Oh!
Copy !req
218. Is this fun?
Copy !req
219. I suggest you book Fudgecake now
Copy !req
220. because after the casino opens,
Copy !req
221. they might be too big for you.
Copy !req
222. They're gonna be helping
kings and dignitaries
Copy !req
223. get their groove on.
Copy !req
224. They're not right for us, Dale.
Copy !req
225. There are gonna be
little kids at this picnic.
Copy !req
226. And we already hired someone.
Copy !req
227. Bloomers.
Copy !req
228. Fine, but can I at least count on you all
Copy !req
229. to be there tonight for the Fudgecake
Copy !req
230. when they open the casino?
Copy !req
231. Well, I do have to be there
to keep an eye on Buck.
Copy !req
232. He wants to "parlay" the picnic money
Copy !req
233. on the gaming tables.
Copy !req
234. Don't be surprised
if Buck forgets all about that
Copy !req
235. because the power of rockin'
does things to a man.
Copy !req
236. It's true.
Copy !req
237. I made a lot of my life decisions
at a Foghat concert.
Copy !req
238. I stand by them.
Copy !req
239. This night is full of magic.
Copy !req
240. Which one of these tables
looks lucky to you, ol' top?
Copy !req
241. Well, I'm not sure,
Copy !req
242. but why don't I hold on
to the picnic funds
Copy !req
243. so you have more room for your winnings?
Copy !req
244. Ooh, what about that one? What about…
Copy !req
245. Hold on, I gotta rub
that waiter's head for luck.
Copy !req
246. Hank, thank you.
Copy !req
247. None of this would have been possible
without your advice.
Copy !req
248. Yeah, that's okay.
Copy !req
249. I don't really want
to take credit for any of this,
Copy !req
250. but, uh, you're welcome, I guess.
Copy !req
251. Hugged by an Indian!
Copy !req
252. We're winning big tonight!
Copy !req
253. Everybody, put your hands together
Copy !req
254. for Big… Mountain… Fudgecake!
Copy !req
255. - Whoo!
- Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
256. - Yeah!
- Thank you, Arlen!
Copy !req
257. And now, here's a song about a band.
Copy !req
258. A band that no one gave much
of a chance to
Copy !req
259. until one day that band showed everyone
Copy !req
260. that they could rock!
Copy !req
261. A one
Copy !req
262. and a two and a…
Copy !req
263. Freeze. Police.
Copy !req
264. All right, folks, it's over.
Copy !req
265. Okay, everyone, let's have
a nice orderly egress.
Copy !req
266. Is this some kind of joke?
Copy !req
267. We're shutting you down, sir.
Copy !req
268. This is an illegal gaming establishment.
Copy !req
269. But we're on Indian land.
Copy !req
270. Look at me. Look at all the headdresses.
Copy !req
271. Yes, sir, and that land is in Texas
Copy !req
272. where there is no Indian gaming.
Copy !req
273. No Indian gaming?
Copy !req
274. Didn't you wonder why there weren't
any other Indian casinos in Texas?
Copy !req
275. I thought it would work to our advantage.
Copy !req
276. They're wheeling away our shot at glory,
Copy !req
277. just like they're wheeling
away them shiny machines.
Copy !req
278. Fudgecake's in a bad, bad way.
Copy !req
279. But this is my land.
Copy !req
280. My one chance to be heard.
Copy !req
281. I've already spent
all the money I borrowed.
Copy !req
282. How can this be happening?
Copy !req
283. Texas tribes traded their
federal gaming rights
Copy !req
284. for state recognition of their tribes.
Copy !req
285. Now, you can let the folks
play for trinkets
Copy !req
286. and combs and whatnot, but not for money.
Copy !req
287. But that's incredibly lame.
Copy !req
288. Well, yes… but legal.
Copy !req
289. Hot damn. That's blackjack!
Copy !req
290. Congratulations, sir.
Copy !req
291. Very lucky.
Copy !req
292. Blackjack pays… a stuffed lion.
Copy !req
293. How am I gonna stick this in a G-string?
Copy !req
294. Where's everyone going?
Copy !req
295. They're gonna miss our show!
Copy !req
296. This is a sad, sad day.
Copy !req
297. The white man never stops
putting you down.
Copy !req
298. "The white man"?
Copy !req
299. How could you not know
there was no gaming in Texas?
Copy !req
300. Look, the dream business
is not extremely detail-oriented.
Copy !req
301. Anyway,
Copy !req
302. just stopped by
to give you a friendly reminder.
Copy !req
303. You still owe us $23,000.
Copy !req
304. I could sue you.
Copy !req
305. Possibly, but you'd spend years
in the white man's courts
Copy !req
306. fighting the white man's lawyers,
Copy !req
307. which we have a lot of.
Copy !req
308. Instead, I have a solution
that's good for all of us.
Copy !req
309. Permit to allow toxic dumping?
Copy !req
310. Unless you have another way
to come up with the money.
Copy !req
311. Oh, and, uh, keep in mind
Copy !req
312. your topsoil will become very flammable.
Copy !req
313. Oh, not only have I failed as a musician,
Copy !req
314. I'm gonna have to destroy my own land.
Copy !req
315. My people's land.
Copy !req
316. Come on, guys.
Copy !req
317. Did we give up when I left the "E"
Copy !req
318. off of all of our merchandise? No.
Copy !req
319. And we wore those "Fudgecak" T-shirts
Copy !req
320. with pride.
Copy !req
321. Now, you guys keep focusing
on being stars,
Copy !req
322. and I'll focus on a way to fix this.
Copy !req
323. You look like I feel
whenever I run over one of my dogs.
Copy !req
324. Everybody seems pretty happy.
Copy !req
325. Bloomers has good buzz.
Copy !req
326. Yep. We sure pulled it off.
Copy !req
327. No, Hank. We all did.
Copy !req
328. Oh. I mean, we did!
Copy !req
329. Psst. Bloomers!
Copy !req
330. - Get in the car!
- Why? I just got here.
Copy !req
331. Hey, I'm driving you
to the green room, ese.
Copy !req
332. I got all kinds of cheeses back there.
Copy !req
333. Gribble?
Copy !req
334. - Got him.
- Good.
Copy !req
335. Make him disappear.
Copy !req
336. You want me to kill him?
Copy !req
337. What? No!
Copy !req
338. Although…
Copy !req
339. No, just drive him around,
Copy !req
340. but I'm happy you're being pro-active.
Copy !req
341. There are no bad ideas.
Copy !req
342. I wanna go! I'm bored.
Copy !req
343. You said this would be fun!
Copy !req
344. I thought
there was gonna be Bloomers.
Copy !req
345. Make Bloomers be here.
Copy !req
346. Where the heck is Bloomers?
Copy !req
347. Dad, things are not good.
Copy !req
348. I've been circulating among the kids
Copy !req
349. as "Roberto Hillenbrand,"
Copy !req
350. and they're bored.
Copy !req
351. If Bloomers doesn't show up,
Copy !req
352. there's talk of a possible egging.
Copy !req
353. Hank, what the heck is going on?
Copy !req
354. I just got a back full of raw hamburger.
Copy !req
355. I don't know what happened, sir.
Copy !req
356. Now they're tipping over port-a-johns.
Copy !req
357. If you got a plan "B,"
Copy !req
358. you better put it into action pronto.
Copy !req
359. Mr. Strickland makes a good point.
Copy !req
360. All hell does appear to be breaking loose.
Copy !req
361. At least if you book Fudgecake,
you tried something.
Copy !req
362. Oh, let's tip this one over!
Copy !req
363. Occupied, honey!
Copy !req
364. Dale, get me Fudgecake.
Copy !req
365. We got a gig! We got a gig!
Copy !req
366. Oh, wow!
Copy !req
367. The Strickland Family Days Picnic.
Copy !req
368. Family Days?
Copy !req
369. That ain't rock and roll.
Copy !req
370. What does it matter?
Copy !req
371. An audience is an audience.
Copy !req
372. Fudgecake don't play family picnics.
Copy !req
373. It'd send the wrong message.
Copy !req
374. I ain't going.
Copy !req
375. And I double ain't going.
Copy !req
376. Are you crazy?
Copy !req
377. This is a paying gig
with hundreds of people!
Copy !req
378. Yeah, well, the 'cake don't sell out.
Copy !req
379. Hank.
Copy !req
380. What in the heck is going on?
Copy !req
381. Where's the rest of the band?
Copy !req
382. I thought I owed it to you
to tell you in person.
Copy !req
383. We broke up.
Copy !req
384. Fudgecake is dead.
Copy !req
385. Well, I guess
I'll go break it to the crowd
Copy !req
386. that we don't have any entertainment.
Copy !req
387. They'll probably yell
and throw stuff at me.
Copy !req
388. Then Buck will yell and throw stuff at me
Copy !req
389. and fire me.
Copy !req
390. Well, maybe
that'll be entertaining for folks.
Copy !req
391. Hold on a second, Hank.
Copy !req
392. John Redcorn, you're the heart
and soul of the 'cake, man!
Copy !req
393. You can play this gig yourself!
Copy !req
394. Alone? Me?
Copy !req
395. Besides, kids aren't gonna want
to listen to me.
Copy !req
396. The BMF sound is universal.
Copy !req
397. You can adapt.
