1. See, Dale, I'm a man of my word.
Copy !req
2. You didn't cry when
you got your tetanus shot,
Copy !req
3. so ice cream's on me.
Copy !req
4. How much will you guys give me
Copy !req
5. if I literally scream
for ice cream?
Copy !req
6. Dude, let's run back and forth!
Copy !req
7. Bobby! Never
run in a parking lot!
Copy !req
8. Those cars look parked,
Copy !req
9. but they could be driven
by slow-moving seniors.
Copy !req
10. Yes, sir. Sorry, Dad.
Copy !req
11. Joseph, stop that.
Copy !req
12. Yeah, in a minute.
Copy !req
13. Joseph, cut that
out! It's dangerous.
Copy !req
14. Okay. Sorry, Mr. Hill.
Copy !req
15. Don't make Hank
have to tell you again.
Copy !req
16. Okay, we're gonna take the hill.
Copy !req
17. But I'm scared, so...
Copy !req
18. We're all scared, Sarge.
Copy !req
19. Move up the hill right now!
Copy !req
20. Son, mind your table manners.
Copy !req
21. Okay. But what about Ma? I'll
write your mom when you get back.
Copy !req
22. Son, I think I asked you...
Copy !req
23. Oh, you gotta put that out.
Copy !req
24. No more smoking in
restaurants, remember?
Copy !req
25. Excuse me? Miss, this is Texas.
Copy !req
26. Arlen passed that no-smoking
ballot initiative, Dale.
Copy !req
27. Let me just finish this one.
Copy !req
28. Put it out.
Copy !req
29. But... But my rights...
Copy !req
30. I surrender!
Copy !req
31. Hut two three,
back in line, son...
Copy !req
32. Outrageous.
Copy !req
33. Sure, today it's us
smokers, but who tomorrow?
Copy !req
34. Pudgy white guys with
strange propane fixations?
Copy !req
35. Dale, that smoking
ban barely squeaked by.
Copy !req
36. But it did pass,
so it's the law.
Copy !req
37. That's awfully convenient.
Especially since I didn't vote.
Copy !req
38. I voted.
Copy !req
39. I guessed right
four out of five times.
Copy !req
40. All right, everyone,
settle. It's assignment time.
Copy !req
41. Okay, Peggy, you're all set
with your Waffle House beat.
Copy !req
42. Yeah, about that, Roddy Rae.
Copy !req
43. I was thinking this week,
Copy !req
44. instead of writing
something unimportant,
Copy !req
45. I could cover
something important.
Copy !req
46. Change of pace.
Copy !req
47. Sorry, Peg. Now, everyone else:
Copy !req
48. The crossing guards are about
to have a major contract dispute.
Copy !req
49. I call it! It's mine! Me!
Copy !req
50. Peggy, no. I need a
seasoned hand on this.
Copy !req
51. Jenkins, you've got the touch.
Copy !req
52. Wanna look into this
monkey business?
Copy !req
53. Monkey business is my business.
Copy !req
54. Uh, Joseph?
Copy !req
55. - Yeah?
- Don't you think
Copy !req
56. you've been in there
kind of a long time?
Copy !req
57. I 'unno.
Copy !req
58. It's been 40 minutes.
Copy !req
59. Maybe other people need
to use the bathroom, too.
Copy !req
60. Get out of the bathroom, sug.
Copy !req
61. Sure, Mom.
Copy !req
62. When you're done, come get me.
Copy !req
63. I don't know where I'll be.
Copy !req
64. Aren't you supposed to be
reporting on the Waffle House?
Copy !req
65. Why waste my time?
Copy !req
66. I can file my story now:
"Nothing Happened. Again."
Copy !req
67. Roddy Rae hits the "delete" key,
Copy !req
68. and we are done
for another week.
Copy !req
69. Oh, hey, Hank.
Copy !req
70. Listen, I just had sort
of a quick question.
Copy !req
71. How do I get my
son to respect me?
Copy !req
72. Well, boys need their dads
to be strong role models.
Copy !req
73. You just need to,
you know... be a man.
Copy !req
74. Dammit, Hank, I'm 42 years old.
Copy !req
75. It's kind of late for me to start
the whole "being a man" thing.
Copy !req
76. Is there a short-cut, or
at least a, a Web site?
Copy !req
77. No.
Copy !req
78. This is gonna be tough.
Copy !req
79. I can't even take
that like a man.
Copy !req
80. Son? Would you
reach me the toast?
Copy !req
81. Sure thing, Pop.
Copy !req
82. Bastards.
Copy !req
83. Sorry, honey, you
can't smoke in here.
Copy !req
84. Can you let it go, ma'am?
I've had kind of a bad day.
Copy !req
85. The lady told
you to put that out.
Copy !req
86. You got a problem?
Copy !req
87. Yes, I do!
Copy !req
88. I need my smoke!
Copy !req
89. So no, sir, I will
not put this out.
Copy !req
90. I am a powerful, functional
adult at the peak of his life,
Copy !req
91. who demands to be heard!
Copy !req
92. My voice is a flame that
cannot be extinguished!
Copy !req
93. Give me smoking,
or give me death!
Copy !req
94. Jenkins here.
Copy !req
95. At the Waffle House, eh?
Copy !req
96. Hmm. Let me see if
this pony has legs...
Copy !req
97. Oh! Damn that Bob Jenkins!
Copy !req
98. Listen to this: "Smoking
Bandit Lights Up Controversy."
Copy !req
99. "Smoking Bandit"?
What's that mean?
Copy !req
100. "A mysterious Man of Menthol
Copy !req
101. "has declared a
'Battle of the Butts, '
Copy !req
102. "standing up for the
smoking community
Copy !req
103. in a defiant yakkity-yakkity,
around 9:00 p.m. last ni..."
Copy !req
104. At the Waffle House!
Copy !req
105. That is my beat, the thief!
Copy !req
106. 9:00?
Copy !req
107. Hey, isn't that about the time
you were eating waffles here?
Copy !req
108. Get this, sugs:
Copy !req
109. "And the Sheriff vows
to prosecute this rogue,
Copy !req
110. to the fullest
extent of the law."
Copy !req
111. Wow.
Copy !req
112. The... the fullest
extent of the law?
Copy !req
113. Mm-hmm. That's
what the Sheriff vows.
Copy !req
114. But... our extent
is pretty full.
Copy !req
115. We have a death
penalty in this state.
Copy !req
116. And we're not afraid to use it.
Copy !req
117. Can you imagine, sug?
Copy !req
118. Whoever this cowboy is,
he's in a lot of hot water.
Copy !req
119. Well, not yet. I mean, no
one took his picture, right?
Copy !req
120. Or did they? Did they...
did they get a description?
Copy !req
121. Let's see... Only that he was
Copy !req
122. "as slim and white as the
cigarette he so boldly enjoyed..."
Copy !req
123. Gaah, what have I done?
Copy !req
124. I've really Gribbled
myself this time!
Copy !req
125. Don't you stare at me like that!
Copy !req
126. This is more heat
than I can handle.
Copy !req
127. Okay, stay calm.
Copy !req
128. Just burn the evidence.
Copy !req
129. You've done it before.
Copy !req
130. Ah, that's better.
Copy !req
131. No-no-no!
Copy !req
132. Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Copy !req
133. We'll just... destroy the
evidence another way.
Copy !req
134. No one will suspect
Dale Gribble,
Copy !req
135. if Dale Gribble isn't a smoker.
Copy !req
136. Genius.
Copy !req
137. See? That's why I'm out here,
and you're the ones in the tank.
Copy !req
138. Yep.
Copy !req
139. Morning, Bill.
Copy !req
140. Just taking out some garbage,
Copy !req
141. as per my usual routine...
Copy !req
142. Yup.
Copy !req
143. Morning, boys.
Copy !req
144. Morning, Mr. Gribble. Hey, Dad.
Copy !req
145. Nothing to see
here, boys. Carry on.
Copy !req
146. You wanna melt some Legos?
Copy !req
147. Eh, maybe.
Copy !req
148. There's a cool
thing in the paper
Copy !req
149. about this Smoking Bandit guy.
Copy !req
150. Yeah, I heard about that.
Copy !req
151. He sounded so cool.
Copy !req
152. He doesn't let the Waffle House
Copy !req
153. tell him how to live his life.
Copy !req
154. So, you really look up to him?
Copy !req
155. This Bandit fellow?
Copy !req
156. Oh, you're still here?
Copy !req
157. I just realized,
Copy !req
158. there's something
important in here
Copy !req
159. that's needed back at the house.
Copy !req
160. See you later, Joseph.
Copy !req
161. Your Dad can be kind
of weird sometimes.
Copy !req
162. Yeah. Let's go spit
into some ant holes.
Copy !req
163. Welcome to Attache. Do
you have a reservation?
Copy !req
164. Oh... I'll just be at the bar.
Copy !req
165. Evening. What can I get ya?
Copy !req
166. How about...
Copy !req
167. an ashtray, my good man?
Copy !req
168. Hey! You can't do that in here!
Copy !req
169. Can't do what?
Copy !req
170. Savor the fresh, smoky
air of sweet liberty?
Copy !req
171. Go ahead... sic your
storm-troopers on me.
Copy !req
172. Of course, average
police response time
Copy !req
173. is roughly 28 minutes, while
I am done in less than three.
Copy !req
174. I am the Smoking Bandit!
Copy !req
175. See you in the
history books, people.
Copy !req
176. This is strictly a
denim-and-leather bar.
Copy !req
177. You need to be wearing
both denim and leather.
Copy !req
178. Gentlemen, I truly regret
not meeting your dress code.
Copy !req
179. But I can't say I
am sorry about this.
Copy !req
180. Oh!
Copy !req
181. Wow. Yeah.
Copy !req
182. Yep.
Copy !req
183. Yup.
Copy !req
184. Bill, get that dang
cigarette out of your mouth.
Copy !req
185. I'm not smoking it.
I just like the look.
Copy !req
186. I'm told it's very "Bandit."
Copy !req
187. All I can say is, I wish I had
the Smoking Bandit's courage.
Copy !req
188. He's the Rosa Parks of nicotine.
Copy !req
189. He's a hero, just like the guy
Copy !req
190. who rides his bicycle
faster than French people.
Copy !req
191. I bet he smokes, too.
Copy !req
192. No, the Bandit's
just a jackass, Bill.
Copy !req
193. And he's breaking the law,
did you forget about that?
Copy !req
194. Why do people idolize
these bad-boy idiots?
Copy !req
195. Well, you know, man,
some of them talkin'
Copy !req
196. 'bout them dang ol',
mysterious charm...
Copy !req
197. You know, I-I have no idea, man.
Copy !req
198. People just got no
sense, man, dang ol' fact.
Copy !req
199. Exactly. You can't
pick and choose
Copy !req
200. what laws you want to obey.
Copy !req
201. Sure, I'd like to
tape a baseball game
Copy !req
202. without the express
written consent
Copy !req
203. of Major League Baseball, but
that's just not the way it works.
Copy !req
204. Hello, Joseph. How's it going?
Copy !req
205. Did you hear? The
Smoking Bandit struck again.
Copy !req
206. They say he stopped a
Shoney's from getting robbed,
Copy !req
207. then he smoked in it!
Copy !req
208. Hey, Joseph.
Copy !req
209. So, that Bandit's
pretty cool, huh?
Copy !req
210. I bet you'd like
a dad like that.
Copy !req
211. Yeah, but... uh...
Copy !req
212. So... what if I were to
tell you I was the Bandit?
Copy !req
213. Yeah, right.
Copy !req
214. What if I told you I
was an elephant?
Copy !req
215. No, really, I am.
Copy !req
216. See?
Copy !req
217. Wow...
Copy !req
218. You just made
smoking seem uncool.
Copy !req
219. Well, it's late.
Copy !req
220. You should start
getting ready for bed.
Copy !req
221. Nah, I'm gonna go watch TV.
Copy !req
222. I bet he'd listen to you.
Copy !req
223. Need to talk.
Copy !req
224. Are you serious?
Copy !req
225. In a minute.
Copy !req
226. Well, give me the details, man.
Copy !req
227. Manners!
Copy !req
228. The Waffle House
was my beat, Jenkins.
Copy !req
229. The Bandit is my
story, and I want it!
Copy !req
230. Ah, Peggy, I feel terrible.
Copy !req
231. I'll tell you where the
bandit will strike next...
Copy !req
232. Oh!
Copy !req
233. Channel 84.
Copy !req
234. He sent in a tape.
Copy !req
235. Some sort of video manifesto.
Copy !req
236. They always leave
us for television.
Copy !req
237. I am not giving up on this.
Copy !req
238. Well, I am.
Copy !req
239. We just received a tape
Copy !req
240. from Arlen's notorious
Smoking Bandit.
Copy !req
241. Your hero the bandit is on
TV with an important message.
Copy !req
242. Let's watch it together,
as father and son.
Copy !req
243. Dad. Hand.
Copy !req
244. The Bandit has apparently
Copy !req
245. scrambled his voice
to conceal his identity.
Copy !req
246. Oh, I don't understand him.
Copy !req
247. Uh, it's clear as day!
Copy !req
248. "It's cool to respect
your dad and like him."
Copy !req
249. Now he's saying, "Real
rebels are the rebels
Copy !req
250. who obey their fathers."
Copy !req
251. Yeah...
Copy !req
252. Look at me, I'm
the Celery Bandit.
Copy !req
253. Dude, you're
missing the message.
Copy !req
254. You're not like the
Bandit when you smoke.
Copy !req
255. You're like him when you
break the law and run away.
Copy !req
256. I'm listening.
Copy !req
257. He fights back.
Copy !req
258. He disobeys unfair
stuff, like, like homework,
Copy !req
259. a-and math tests,
Copy !req
260. and girls who tell other
girls that I'm a dork.
Copy !req
261. Math is so unfair!
Copy !req
262. How are kids like us supposed
to know all those answers?
Copy !req
263. Yeah. No one has the right
Copy !req
264. to teach us stuff we
don't wanna learn.
Copy !req
265. That's what our Bill of
Constitution's all about!
Copy !req
266. Okay, books away for the quiz.
Copy !req
267. Take one and hand the rest back.
Copy !req
268. Bobby? Joseph?
Copy !req
269. Did you two hear me?
Copy !req
270. We're not giving
out your stupid quiz.
Copy !req
271. Yeah! We're the
Math Quiz Bandits!
Copy !req
272. Uh, no.
Copy !req
273. How it works is, you take one,
Copy !req
274. and then pass the rest back.
Copy !req
275. Quizzes are unfair to
kids who don't like math!
Copy !req
276. Yeah! You take your stupid quiz!
Copy !req
277. Okay... now what?
Copy !req
278. Got dang it, mister,
Copy !req
279. you're gonna explain
yourself this minute!
Copy !req
280. Look at me when
I'm talking to you!
Copy !req
281. You see this, Hank?
Copy !req
282. I can't have them spreading
this "Bandit" nonsense
Copy !req
283. to the rest of the kids.
Copy !req
284. They're suspended.
Copy !req
285. It's that dang
Smoking Bandit idiot.
Copy !req
286. He's a bad influence!
Copy !req
287. Yeah.
Copy !req
288. The Bandit is making my
own son defy me even more.
Copy !req
289. It's pretty ironic.
Copy !req
290. How is that ironic?
Copy !req
291. Oh, well, uh...
Copy !req
292. I'm probably just
misusing the word ironic,
Copy !req
293. as people so often do.
Copy !req
294. You know what?
For our kids' sake,
Copy !req
295. the two of us have to
hunt this jackass down
Copy !req
296. and turn him over
to the authorities.
Copy !req
297. Yeah, this week is
a little busy for me.
Copy !req
298. You want Joseph to
look up to you, right?
Copy !req
299. Well, bringing in the Bandit
Copy !req
300. is how you're gonna
earn your son's respect.
Copy !req
301. Uh... of course.
Copy !req
302. I... I can't wait to see
the look on his face.
Copy !req
303. You know, I don't really see why
Copy !req
304. we have to go after the Bandit.
Copy !req
305. This is one of those things
Copy !req
306. that's funner to talk
about than actually do.
Copy !req
307. That is why we're
going after this guy.
Copy !req
308. Where are you boys off to?
Copy !req
309. To catch the Bandit.
Copy !req
310. Oh, I started some fresh ice,
Copy !req
311. so don't jostle the trays.
Copy !req
312. Roddy Rae?
Copy !req
313. Hold the front page!
Copy !req
314. "Peggy Hill
Captures Smoking Bandit!"
Copy !req
315. Well, no, not yet.
Copy !req
316. Well, I have to
capture him first.
Copy !req
317. I can't believe we'll
get to meet the bandit!
Copy !req
318. Do you think he's a match
man or a lighter man?
Copy !req
319. If he beats up our dads,
Copy !req
320. do you think he'll
let us live with him?
Copy !req
321. Sure, he's a hero to you now,
Copy !req
322. but when we rip that cigarette
out of that guy's mouth,
Copy !req
323. he'll probably
stick his thumb in it.
Copy !req
324. Right, Dale?
Copy !req
325. Okay,
Copy !req
326. here's Attaché.
Copy !req
327. Let's get started.
Copy !req
328. But that was one of
the Bandit's first strikes.
Copy !req
329. You think he's likely
to repeat himself?
Copy !req
330. Don't they say criminals
Copy !req
331. always return to the
scene of the crime?
Copy !req
332. Uh, not if they don't
want to get caught, Hank.
Copy !req
333. What do you think we should do?
Copy !req
334. Well, if you study
the Bandit's hits,
Copy !req
335. he strikes north to south
in a childish grid formation,
Copy !req
336. so we should try... there.
Copy !req
337. Yo. Can't let you in
wearing work boots.
Copy !req
338. That's why I wear
black patent leather
Copy !req
339. rubber soled watchmen's oxfords.
Copy !req
340. Classy, easy to run in,
Copy !req
341. and they satisfy all
Copy !req
342. but the most
discriminating of doormen.
Copy !req
343. Huh.
Copy !req
344. You know a lot
about bars and shoes.
Copy !req
345. Okay, now we move
deeper into the night.
Copy !req
346. Everyone put on your
leather work gloves,
Copy !req
347. in case he's a biter.
Copy !req
348. Hey, your dad hunts
people like animals.
Copy !req
349. Yeah. Cool.
Copy !req
350. Your name's not on the list.
Copy !req
351. Excuse me, you do
not know my name.
Copy !req
352. Okay, what's your name?
Copy !req
353. Peggy Hill, Arlen Bystander.
Copy !req
354. Not on the list.
Copy !req
355. So, it's like that?
Copy !req
356. All right, mister, I lied.
Copy !req
357. My name is Anna Beth Fitzwater.
Copy !req
358. Go on, check the list.
Copy !req
359. You're not on it.
Copy !req
360. Fine.
Copy !req
361. I'm really Professor
Helen Marriot Booth,
Copy !req
362. and I've got all night.
Copy !req
363. Okay, kids, let's assess.
Copy !req
364. The Bandit wants his
smoking to be noticed.
Copy !req
365. That club's dance floor
has a smoke machine.
Copy !req
366. Would the Bandit strike there?
Copy !req
367. No, sir.
Copy !req
368. He'd go somewhere more...
Copy !req
369. somewhere else.
Copy !req
370. Smart lad.
Copy !req
371. So, do we move down the
street in formation, or not?
Copy !req
372. Um... I, I, I think, uh... no?
Copy !req
373. Exactly!
Copy !req
374. Because we don't want to
look like we're searching for him.
Copy !req
375. What should we do?
Copy !req
376. You want me to
tell you what to do...
Copy !req
377. so you can do it?
Copy !req
378. Well, yeah, dude.
Copy !req
379. I mean, Dad.
Copy !req
380. Uh... give me a second.
Copy !req
381. I think I just got a
bottle cap in my eye.
Copy !req
382. All right, what do you
say we call it a night?
Copy !req
383. But I still want to
meet the Bandit!
Copy !req
384. Yeah, I want to see
him get his smoke on.
Copy !req
385. Look, Dale, I know Joseph
is acting right tonight,
Copy !req
386. but he still idolizes this guy.
Copy !req
387. If we don't finish this job,
Copy !req
388. you're going to be right back
to where you were last week.
Copy !req
389. Stuck outside my own bathroom.
Copy !req
390. But catching this
guy is gonna be hard.
Copy !req
391. Or maybe not.
Copy !req
392. Tell you what: I'm
gonna head in there,
Copy !req
393. on a scouting mission.
Copy !req
394. Son, hold these for me.
Copy !req
395. You guys meet me in the alley.
Copy !req
396. Hello? Anyone here?
Copy !req
397. No.
Copy !req
398. Perfect.
Copy !req
399. Hank, quick!
Copy !req
400. I found the Bandit!
Copy !req
401. He dropped this,
then fled into the john.
Copy !req
402. I'm going in.
Copy !req
403. Kids, guard the door.
Copy !req
404. Hank, make sure that
bartender doesn't butt in.
Copy !req
405. Be careful, Dad.
Copy !req
406. Okay, Bandit... freeze!
Copy !req
407. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
408. Take that!
Copy !req
409. I caught him wriggling
out the window.
Copy !req
410. He's kind of pitiful.
Copy !req
411. Maybe we should let him go.
Copy !req
412. No way! Hey, let's
give him a swirly!
Copy !req
413. Let's give him an atomic wedgie!
Copy !req
414. Or let him go.
Copy !req
415. Dang it, Dale, the whole
point of coming out here
Copy !req
416. was to show the boys this
guy's sniveling, frightened face.
Copy !req
417. Uh... uh, yeah.
Copy !req
418. Well, maybe we, uh, maybe
we should let the Bandit go.
Copy !req
419. But does the Bandit swear
Copy !req
420. that he will never, ever do
anything this asinine again
Copy !req
421. or I will kick his ass?
Copy !req
422. Hold on, I'll ask him.
Copy !req
423. Bandit, do you understand,
Copy !req
424. so on and so forth?
Copy !req
425. He's nodding in agreement.
Copy !req
426. Go on! Git!
Copy !req
427. Aw, quit your crying
and just scram.
Copy !req
428. The Bandit is gone. For good.
Copy !req
429. To make sure, I
confiscated his cigs.
Copy !req
430. I can't believe I thought
the Bandit was cool.
Copy !req
431. You know who's cool?
Copy !req
432. That rapper with the
bullet in his nose...
Copy !req
433. Bullet Nose.
Copy !req
434. Yeah, one wrong sneeze
and the whole joint goes up.
Copy !req
435. The bullets will still be
there tomorrow, kids.
Copy !req
436. But right now, it's bedtime.
Copy !req
437. After flossing
Copy !req
438. and eating your vegetables.
Copy !req
439. - Sure, Dad.
- Okay.
