1. Okay, settle down, boosters.
Copy !req
2. Boys, we could go all
the way this year.
Copy !req
3. Texas High School Coaches Poll
Copy !req
4. has voted us
preseason number one.
Copy !req
5. Yep, this is the year,
I'll tell you what,
Copy !req
6. but as boosters, we've
got to do our part.
Copy !req
7. I've got it!
A pancake sale,
Copy !req
8. where we get our wives
to serve pancakes topless.
Copy !req
9. Not yours, Hank.
Copy !req
10. Well, here's something
that'll help.
Copy !req
11. Finish what
you're chewing, boys.
Copy !req
12. I got big news.
Copy !req
13. Jimmy Willis is available.
Copy !req
14. The groundskeeper at SMU?
Copy !req
15. A skilled groundskeeper
Copy !req
16. can give us a home
field advantage.
Copy !req
17. We're going to state!
Copy !req
18. ( cheering )
Yeah, we're going
to state!
Copy !req
19. State! State! State!
Copy !req
20. Wait just a second.
What about Smitty?
Copy !req
21. He's been our groundskeeper
as long as I can remember.
Copy !req
22. Oh, Hank, Smitty's getting
up there in years.
Copy !req
23. Heck, a lot of
folks think he's
Copy !req
24. just coasting till
he gets his pension.
Copy !req
25. Yeah. You seen the horns
on the end zone Longhorn lately?
Copy !req
26. They ain't as pointy
as they used to be.
Copy !req
27. Thing looks like
a got-danged cow!
Copy !req
28. ( murmurs of agreement )
It does have
a cow-like quality.
Copy !req
29. A thought: just supposing
we fire this Smitty.
Copy !req
30. What would happen
to his pension money?
Copy !req
31. Could it be diverted into,
say, a new Nautilus machine?
Copy !req
32. And if not, why not?
Copy !req
33. Yeah, I agree
with that...
Now hold on.
Copy !req
34. You can't cheat Smitty
out of his pension.
Copy !req
35. It's not right—
he's been taking good care
Copy !req
36. of that field for 28 years.
Copy !req
37. He lost two wives to that grass,
Copy !req
38. and now you want
to take it away from him?
Copy !req
39. Smitty can do the job.
Copy !req
40. I guarantee it.
Copy !req
41. Hank says
championship's a lock!
Copy !req
42. State! State!
State! State!
Copy !req
43. Looking
for someone, bud?
Copy !req
44. Well, I was looking for you,
Smitty.
Copy !req
45. I'm Hank Hill.
I used to play here.
Copy !req
46. Oh, sure, Hank Hill.
Copy !req
47. You hold Arlen High's
Copy !req
48. single-season
rushing record, don't ya?
Copy !req
49. Yep. I ran nearly every foot
of it on your turf.
Copy !req
50. ( chuckles ):
Sure. Sure.
Copy !req
51. You can't run on dirt, you know?
Copy !req
52. True enough.
Copy !req
53. But you can sleep on it.
Copy !req
54. Huh. Uh...
Copy !req
55. you do know what
you're doing, Smitty, right?
Copy !req
56. You bet.
Copy !req
57. That's exactly what
I was hoping to hear, sir.
Copy !req
58. It's gonna be
a heck of a season.
Copy !req
59. Up next:
Copy !req
60. History's Mysteries
with "Nazi Hidden Gold,"
Copy !req
61. followed by
"Building the Nazi War Machine"
Copy !req
62. and "Nazis of the Desert,
Nazis of the Sea."
Copy !req
63. Wow, the Nazis
did a lot.
Copy !req
64. Come on, Kahn.
Copy !req
65. Ain't we still
your boys?
Copy !req
66. Get on out here
Copy !req
67. and rally with us.
Copy !req
68. ( scoffs ):
I thought Kahn
Copy !req
69. got rid of those
damn rednecks.
Copy !req
70. Show him your
high beams, Lucky.
Copy !req
71. Those rednecks!
Copy !req
72. Yeah!
Copy !req
73. That redneck thing
was really more of a phase!
Copy !req
74. Please go away now!
Copy !req
75. You had to send him
a Christmas card.
Copy !req
76. Thanks for leaving!
Copy !req
77. We ain't going nowhere
Copy !req
78. till you check out
Lucky's new truck.
Copy !req
79. Yeah, Kahn.
Got me new rims and everything
Copy !req
80. out of my settlement money.
Copy !req
81. We gon' go muddin',
then skiddin'.
Copy !req
82. Stupid rednecks!
Copy !req
83. We can't hear ourselves
watch TV.
Copy !req
84. Aw, look at you, baby girl.
You like my rims.
Copy !req
85. They're very nice rims. I...
Copy !req
86. Yes.
Copy !req
87. You think they look good
standing still,
Copy !req
88. wait till you see 'em doing 90.
Copy !req
89. There are some boys
race trucks
Copy !req
90. up at the Devil's Bowl,
Copy !req
91. and I'm gonna
take it to 'em.
Copy !req
92. You race trucks?
Copy !req
93. Isn't that dangerous?
Copy !req
94. Can be,
but being a self-made man,
Copy !req
95. I don't need to work no more.
Copy !req
96. I got to do something
with my time.
Copy !req
97. You're a
self-made man?
Copy !req
98. Yep. Slipped on pee-pee
at the Costco.
Copy !req
99. Got me a $53,000 settlement.
Copy !req
100. I like the way your Skoal
can fits in your pocket.
Copy !req
101. And your teeth look
like fresh corn.
Copy !req
102. Damn. That Lucky
is chick stink bait.
Copy !req
103. ( quietly ):
Walk away from
the redneck.
Copy !req
104. Walk away from
the redneck.
Copy !req
105. Oh, no.
Copy !req
106. Friday night, the big test.
Copy !req
107. Season opener
against Rushford.
Copy !req
108. Crush Rushford!
Copy !req
109. That's the spirit, Bobby.
Copy !req
110. I can't take sole credit.
Copy !req
111. They taught it to us
all week at school.
Copy !req
112. ( engine revving )
Copy !req
113. Will the pretty lady
in the house
Copy !req
114. please come outside
and make my day?
Copy !req
115. That's Lucky!
He's taking me
Copy !req
116. to watch him race his truck!
Copy !req
117. I get to wave a flag
and wear tiny pants!
Copy !req
118. Uh-uh. I'm sorry, Luanne,
Copy !req
119. but I cannot allow you
to go out there.
Copy !req
120. Why not?
Is my makeup smeary?
Copy !req
121. No. Luanne,
you have a weakness
Copy !req
122. for a certain type of man.
Copy !req
123. You are drawn magnetically
back to the trailer,
Copy !req
124. back to the sticky ooze
you escaped from.
Copy !req
125. You have come too far
to give in now.
Copy !req
126. You cannot
date this man!
Copy !req
127. ( sighs ):
I'll get it.
Copy !req
128. Name's Lucky.
Copy !req
129. Looking for Luanne.
Copy !req
130. Hey, beautiful.
Copy !req
131. Hi.
Copy !req
132. Want to know why
they call me Lucky?
Copy !req
133. No.
Copy !req
134. We'll see you later.
Copy !req
135. Don't wait up.
Copy !req
136. Oh, God.
Copy !req
137. Crush Rushford.
Copy !req
138. Thank you, Bobby.
You're a good son.
Copy !req
139. Let the championship season
begin!
Copy !req
140. Here we go.
Copy !req
141. What the...?
Copy !req
142. Good Lord, what the heck
happened to the field?
Copy !req
143. Hank, what did your boy Smitty
do to the field?
Copy !req
144. Oh, no. Smitty.
Copy !req
145. On inspection,
this field is unfit for play.
Copy !req
146. According
to the athletic charter,
Copy !req
147. the home team is responsible
Copy !req
148. for the maintenance
of the field,
Copy !req
149. therefore Arlen forfeits
the game.
Copy !req
150. Peggy, get the boy and
let's head for the truck
Copy !req
151. before everyone sees us.
Copy !req
152. There he is!
Copy !req
153. No root system at all.
Copy !req
154. Oh, hi, Hank.
Copy !req
155. Sir, with all
due respect,
Copy !req
156. what happened?
Copy !req
157. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
158. It's a lot to do.
Copy !req
159. You got the
hash marks
Copy !req
160. and the center
field marks—
Copy !req
161. what is it, the
thing with the tube?
Copy !req
162. My kid's in rehab again.
Copy !req
163. Tommy— you met him.
Copy !req
164. Yeah. Uh, look, Smitty,
this is the kind of thing
Copy !req
165. that could cost us
our whole season.
Copy !req
166. Not to mention
costing a guy his job,
Copy !req
167. his pension...
Copy !req
168. You bet.
Copy !req
169. Hey, Hank, that reminds me
Copy !req
170. of a thing from
a long time ago.
Copy !req
171. I forget.
Copy !req
172. ( chuckles ):
You'll get a kick...
Copy !req
173. So, he likes to sleep,
does he?
Copy !req
174. I can give him sleep
in so many ways.
Copy !req
175. Look, Smitty
may have screwed up,
Copy !req
176. but he's a good man,
and he's done a good job
Copy !req
177. for 28
of the last 29 years.
Copy !req
178. We can't let him
lose his pension.
Copy !req
179. But we can't let him lose
any more games for us either.
Copy !req
180. Well, we've got an away game
coming up.
Copy !req
181. That gives us some time.
Copy !req
182. There's got to be some way
to save this field
Copy !req
183. and still save Smitty's job.
Copy !req
184. Yeah, man, just dang
ol'... how, man?
Copy !req
185. Well, we're all
pretty experienced
Copy !req
186. when it comes
to maintaining our own lawns.
Copy !req
187. We just need
to treat this field
Copy !req
188. like it's
a really big lawn.
Copy !req
189. All right!
Copy !req
190. We'll need
really big lawnmowers
Copy !req
191. and really
big beers.
Copy !req
192. Okay, two teams.
Copy !req
193. Lead man de-compacts the roots,
follow-man fertigates.
Copy !req
194. Now, let's roll out.
Copy !req
195. I feel like I'm cheating
on my lawn.
Copy !req
196. It's been a hard week,
Copy !req
197. but the grass is healthy,
the horns are pointy.
Copy !req
198. Good work,
gentlemen.
Copy !req
199. If this field could talk,
I bet it would say
Copy !req
200. "Thanks for watering me, Bill.
Copy !req
201. "I was very thirsty.
Copy !req
202. So, handsome,
got any plans Friday night?"
Copy !req
203. Evenin', boys.
Copy !req
204. Anybody interested
in a race?
Copy !req
205. In what?
Copy !req
206. You hauling a real truck
behind that little candy truck?
Copy !req
207. What you sayin'
about my truck?
Copy !req
208. Well, that shiny bumper
Copy !req
209. looks like it belongs
on Barbie's Dream Truck.
Copy !req
210. Y'all shut up!
Copy !req
211. This truck is beautiful.
Copy !req
212. I call it
Pretty-Pretty Truck-Truck!
Copy !req
213. I can't race,
and I don't have to work.
Copy !req
214. What am I gonna do
with myself?
Copy !req
215. We could go buy
some more chrome.
Copy !req
216. Thanks, baby.
Copy !req
217. But chrome is the reason
I'm sitting here and not racing.
Copy !req
218. Sometimes the world is cruel
to shiny things.
Copy !req
219. What have we got here?
Copy !req
220. Hmm...
Copy !req
221. I was all set
Copy !req
222. to hand you
your head today, Smitty,
Copy !req
223. but it looks like this turf
is back on track.
Copy !req
224. Yeah? Track?
Copy !req
225. Oh, sure, sure.
Copy !req
226. Yeah, great
job, Smitty.
Copy !req
227. Who the heck but you
Copy !req
228. would have thought
of tweaking the pH balance
Copy !req
229. to give it
a healthy shine?
Copy !req
230. Hooray for Smitty.
Copy !req
231. Or should I say
"The Wizard of Sod"?
Copy !req
232. Way to go!
Dang ol'
Wiz, man!
Copy !req
233. Yeah, nice work,
Smitty.
Copy !req
234. But we've got a big game
against Killeen,
Copy !req
235. so you better
keep it up.
Copy !req
236. Well, Coach, we'll let
you get down to business.
Copy !req
237. "Kill Killeen."
Copy !req
238. Kill Killeen!
Kill Killeen!
Copy !req
239. Kill Killeen!
Copy !req
240. Yep.
Copy !req
241. Yup.
Copy !req
242. Yup.
Copy !req
243. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
244. Who's gonna dare me
to kill that bird?
Copy !req
245. Yeah. Well, it's gonna be
a long season,
Copy !req
246. and Smitty
still needs our help.
Copy !req
247. Yeah, plus Killeen's
got that running back
Copy !req
248. who's pretty
much unstoppable.
Copy !req
249. Unless...
Copy !req
250. Wait, can you give
someone polio?
Copy !req
251. No, but
what we could do
Copy !req
252. is fine-tune the field
a little bit to our advantage.
Copy !req
253. Within regulation.
Copy !req
254. You mean
to slow him down a bit.
Copy !req
255. Yes, exactly.
Copy !req
256. Guess it's just you and me,
bird.
Copy !req
257. That's the ball game.
Copy !req
258. Final score, Arlen, 27,
Killeen, 10.
Copy !req
259. Great game, Coach.
Copy !req
260. Sure looked like
Killeen's running back
Copy !req
261. had trouble getting
around the end, eh, Smitty?
Copy !req
262. Eh? Ah, you bet.
Copy !req
263. Kind of looked to me
Copy !req
264. like the grass
was a little thicker
Copy !req
265. near the sidelines.
Copy !req
266. Well, got dang
it, Smitty, that
was brilliant.
Copy !req
267. Yeah?
Copy !req
268. The Wizard of Sod!
Copy !req
269. Well, Wizard, I hope you got
a trick up your sleeve
Copy !req
270. to stop Duncanville's
hotshot kicker next week.
Copy !req
271. See you tonight,
guys.
Copy !req
272. We got a kicker
to stop.
Copy !req
273. - ( blowing whistle )
- Arlen wins.
Copy !req
274. Next stop, division play-offs.
Copy !req
275. Smitty, I've never seen
a kicker
Copy !req
276. shank so many field goals.
Copy !req
277. How do you do it?
Copy !req
278. So, I think to myself,
"Grass'll do the trick."
Copy !req
279. So, that's what I did.
Copy !req
280. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
281. Wizard,
words don't describe.
Copy !req
282. Smitty, you
and your enchanted lawnmower
Copy !req
283. must help us in our critical
game against Denton.
Copy !req
284. Your thoughts?
Copy !req
285. I don't think
the Wizard's
Copy !req
286. gonna want to give up
his secrets that easy.
Copy !req
287. Butt out, blockhead.
Copy !req
288. The Wizard's
talking here.
Copy !req
289. People think dandelions
are pretty.
Copy !req
290. But they're a weed, you know.
Copy !req
291. Ma'am. Luanne home?
Copy !req
292. Luanne works, Lucky,
as do I on many days.
Copy !req
293. Now, I am warning you,
you stay away from Luanne.
Copy !req
294. Lucky!
Copy !req
295. I took off work early today!
Copy !req
296. Aren't you gonna honk me
a kiss?
Copy !req
297. Let me out.
Copy !req
298. No. Not until you listen
to some sense.
Copy !req
299. Lucky is not the kind of man...
Copy !req
300. Aunt Peggy, Lucky says
if we were both in lockup,
Copy !req
301. I could probably take you.
Copy !req
302. But I don't want to do that,
because we're family.
Copy !req
303. ( Chad on radio ):
So, Sports Jock, we've got
a very special guest today:
Copy !req
304. Arlen High's secret ticket
to State,
Copy !req
305. the Wizard of Sod, Smitty.
Copy !req
306. State is in sight, but, Wizard,
Copy !req
307. Denton leads the division
in rushing and sacks.
Copy !req
308. You see any way to, uh, "even
the playing field," so to speak?
Copy !req
309. Don't ask
Copy !req
310. stupid questions.
Copy !req
311. Look who you're
talking to here.
Copy !req
312. For Denton,
I'm thinking water.
Copy !req
313. And sticky paint.
Copy !req
314. They ain't gonna see
that comin'.
Copy !req
315. The Wizard has spoken.
Copy !req
316. Is it just because
I've been up all night
Copy !req
317. doing Smitty's job
that I'm starting
to dislike him?
Copy !req
318. Smitty's one interview away
from a pencil to the ear drum.
Copy !req
319. Hank, can we tell
everybody we did it?
Copy !req
320. No. Look, Smitty's ego
may be getting a little too big,
Copy !req
321. but he still deserves
to retire with dignity.
Copy !req
322. Now we need
to knuckle down
Copy !req
323. and find a way
to stop Denton.
Copy !req
324. Hank, this is hard!
Copy !req
325. And Bill's not carrying
my share of the load!
Copy !req
326. Hang in there, guys, and we'll
have championship seat cushions
Copy !req
327. to cherish for the rest
of our lives.
Copy !req
328. Thanks for
the lift, fellas.
Copy !req
329. It was on our way,
Wizard.
Copy !req
330. Anything to help you
take us to State.
Copy !req
331. Hey, they're on my field!
Copy !req
332. Hank Hill— why you wrecking
my field, boy?
Copy !req
333. Sir, with all due respect,
Copy !req
334. we've only been helping out
with some basic...
Copy !req
335. "Basic"?
Copy !req
336. I've done this
for 30 years, son!
Copy !req
337. I'm the Wizard,
the ticket to State!
Copy !req
338. You don't tell me,
I tell you!
Copy !req
339. Now get off
my got-dang grass!
Copy !req
340. Yeah,
Copy !req
341. I see it now.
Copy !req
342. What we need this week
is longer grass.
Copy !req
343. And I'm gonna
Copy !req
344. triple-pump her
with ammonium nitrate,
Copy !req
345. make it grow fast.
Copy !req
346. Show you boys how it's done.
Copy !req
347. No! Too much nitrate'll fry
the root system.
Copy !req
348. The whole field'll die.
Copy !req
349. And with it
the championship!
Copy !req
350. My self-esteem is tied
to this season!
Copy !req
351. You must be stopped!
Copy !req
352. Sam, get these crooks off
of my grass.
Copy !req
353. You can't do this!
Copy !req
354. Let's not have
this escalate.
Copy !req
355. Move along, sir.
Copy !req
356. Now, what else does the Wizard
have up his sleeve?
Copy !req
357. I've got it— rock salt!
Copy !req
358. Rock salt?
Copy !req
359. And plenty of it!
Copy !req
360. Noooo!
Copy !req
361. Looks like fine weather
Friday night
Copy !req
362. for Arlen's big victory,
and then it's off to State.
Copy !req
363. Here's hoping.
Death to Denton, sugs!
Copy !req
364. Death to Denton.
I'll get her.
Copy !req
365. My people do not
wish death to the
people of Denton,
Copy !req
366. but a crushing defeat
would be just swell.
Copy !req
367. Oh, God,
I can just imagine
Copy !req
368. what Smitty is doing
to that field right now.
Copy !req
369. It's not fair we're going
to have to forfeit.
Copy !req
370. How come McMaynerbury
didn't have to forfeit last year
Copy !req
371. when their field
was flooded?
Copy !req
372. That was because of rain.
Copy !req
373. Article 14 says acts of God
and vandalism are deemed
Copy !req
374. to be outside the control
of the home team.
Copy !req
375. No.
Copy !req
376. We can't let this happen.
Copy !req
377. The team's come this far,
Copy !req
378. and we're not going
to let 'em down.
Copy !req
379. ( sighs ):
We're too late.
Copy !req
380. This is even worse
than the first game.
Copy !req
381. There goes our season.
Copy !req
382. Look at this.
Copy !req
383. I think he actually
nailed the sod down.
Copy !req
384. Uh, Bobby, looks like
I'm free this Friday
Copy !req
385. if you want to see
Copy !req
386. that Hilary Duff movie.
Copy !req
387. The Princess and the Poor Girl?
All right!
Copy !req
388. Hank, I can't stand it
any longer.
Copy !req
389. We have to do something
about Lucky and Luanne.
Copy !req
390. Tonight, they are out
on a date... in our driveway.
Copy !req
391. He's been in twice already
to use our bathroom,
Copy !req
392. and both times, he challenged me
to race his truck.
Copy !req
393. Peggy, there's
nothing I can do...
Copy !req
394. This is your problem too, Hank.
Copy !req
395. On my way in, I saw a very large
truck tire mark on your lawn.
Copy !req
396. What?
Copy !req
397. Got-dang it, Lucky!
Copy !req
398. Yeah, tell me 'bout it.
Copy !req
399. These treads are
hell on grass.
Copy !req
400. ( laughs ):
So, Lucky,
Copy !req
401. looks like you've got
a pretty fast truck there.
Copy !req
402. It is fast,
not that anyone would know it.
Copy !req
403. Well, I know it.
Copy !req
404. And what good does that do me?
Copy !req
405. The boys
down at the Devil's Bowl
Copy !req
406. won't let Lucky race
his shiny truck at their track.
Copy !req
407. No, sirree.
Copy !req
408. Well, maybe you should race 'em
someplace else.
Copy !req
409. I know a good place.
Copy !req
410. But how am I supposed
to get 'em to come?
Copy !req
411. They think I ain't got jack
under the hood.
Copy !req
412. And, uh, you're just going
to sit here and take that?
Copy !req
413. You ever think that maybe
Copy !req
414. they're the ones who ain't
got jack under the hood?
Copy !req
415. What'd you say, boy?
Copy !req
416. I'm just sayin' none of y'all
got jack under the hood.
Copy !req
417. Well, y'all have
a pleasant evening.
Copy !req
418. Got-dang that
sumbitch!
Copy !req
419. I'll show him
who ain't got jack!
Copy !req
420. Get him!
Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
421. Hmm. You hear
something, Phil?
Copy !req
422. Whoo! You show
'em, Lucky!
Copy !req
423. You go! Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
424. Lucky's just
earned himself
Copy !req
425. a booster jacket,
Copy !req
426. even if he does cut
the sleeves off.
Copy !req
427. Oh, great.
Now he's a freaking hero.
Copy !req
428. I mean, I-I just
couldn't believe it.
Copy !req
429. The whole thing
was so crazy.
Copy !req
430. All these rednecks
just kept chasing
this one redneck around.
Copy !req
431. It was like something
out of a video game.
Copy !req
432. Well, it's vandalism,
all right.
Copy !req
433. No question.
The home team is not liable.
Copy !req
434. The game can proceed,
Copy !req
435. but at a neutral site
to be determined.
Copy !req
436. Boy, I just think
it's a shame
Copy !req
437. someone would do this
to Smitty's masterwork
Copy !req
438. after all he's given
this town.
Copy !req
439. Huh?
Copy !req
440. Yeah, well, there's going
to be a big bonus
Copy !req
441. to your pension, Smitty.
Copy !req
442. I'll see to it.
Copy !req
443. That's great.
Copy !req
444. Now I can finally go
to that place.
Copy !req
445. Wh-Wh-What's it called?
Copy !req
446. The flat one.
Oh, I can't wait.
Copy !req
447. There goes
the greatest groundskeeper
Copy !req
448. this team will ever see.
Copy !req
449. Yep.
Copy !req
450. Yep.
Copy !req
451. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
452. Oh, let's get him back.
Copy !req
453. So, man, what'd you get?
Copy !req
454. I got me 400 hours
of damn community service
Copy !req
455. is what I got, and a fine.
Copy !req
456. But I still got me
a $18,000 settlement, by God.
Copy !req
457. Won't have to work
another day in my life.
Copy !req
458. Damn.
( horn honks )
Copy !req
459. Lucky, Arlen beat Denton!
Copy !req
460. We're going to State!
Copy !req
461. I love you!
Copy !req
462. And plus I got
me some of that.
Copy !req
463. Damn.
Copy !req
464. Sometimes the world
is cruel to shiny things.
