1. You know the kind of guy who does nothing
Copy !req
2. but bad things and then wonders
why his life sucks?
Copy !req
3. Well, that was me.
Copy !req
4. Every time something good happened to me,
Copy !req
5. something bad was always
waiting around the corner.
Copy !req
6. Karma.
Copy !req
7. That's when I realized I had to change.
Copy !req
8. So, I made a list of everything
bad I've ever done,
Copy !req
9. and, one by one, I'm gonna
make up for all my mistakes.
Copy !req
10. I'm just trying to be a better person.
Copy !req
11. One of the perks of being
friends with a motel employee
Copy !req
12. is getting free stuff when
someone checks out for good.
Copy !req
13. Somebody die again?
Copy !req
14. Yep. Room 203. No next of kin.
Copy !req
15. Either of you guys wear a size 13?
Copy !req
16. I'm a 12, but an extra pair
of socks should bridge that gap.
Copy !req
17. Cool hat.
Copy !req
18. I'm keeping this one.
Copy !req
19. "Lice medicine."
Copy !req
20. Anybody want this
or should I throw it away?
Copy !req
21. Oh, check this out.
Copy !req
22. Hey, a porn machine.
Copy !req
23. My manager saw that already.
Copy !req
24. He called dibs.
Copy !req
25. Oh.
Copy !req
26. Dibs on the laptop.
Copy !req
27. Damn it.
Copy !req
28. Um, uh, uh... the TV.
Copy !req
29. That's the motel's.
Copy !req
30. Damn it.
Copy !req
31. Um, um, um...
Copy !req
32. Hey, Earl, remember we had one of these,
Copy !req
33. but it was gray and all the
alphabets were all mixed up?
Copy !req
34. Yeah, I do.
Copy !req
35. Maybe karma's trying to tell me
Copy !req
36. it's time to take it back.
Copy !req
37. About a year ago,
Copy !req
38. I brought home a laptop
I stole out of a car.
Copy !req
39. Make that fish thingy come back.
Copy !req
40. I don't know how to.
Copy !req
41. I don't know how to do anything on...
Copy !req
42. Oh, there it is.
Copy !req
43. I like that little blue one.
Copy !req
44. Let's call him Poncho.
Copy !req
45. I'm gonna type shark and
see if a shark comes out.
Copy !req
46. Damn it, it's gone again.
Copy !req
47. After we picked up
the stolen laptop from Joy's,
Copy !req
48. we tried to get it working again.
Copy !req
49. Does it say who it belongs to?
Copy !req
50. It says we need a password.
Copy !req
51. I'll try "carrot."
Copy !req
52. Why carrot?
Copy !req
53. 'Cause who would think of carrot?
Copy !req
54. You did.
Copy !req
55. You're right. I'll try "carrot88."
Copy !req
56. No, "89." Damn it.
Copy !req
57. I can only think of things I can think of.
Copy !req
58. Earl, the fish.
Copy !req
59. The fish are back.
Copy !req
60. Is the little blue one there?
Copy !req
61. There he is. He went behind
Copy !req
62. that treasure chest.
Copy !req
63. Hey, Poncho. Come on out, buddy.
Copy !req
64. You knocked down the bus stop.
Copy !req
65. Yeah, I know, ma'am.
Copy !req
66. I'm gonna fix it tomorrow.
Copy !req
67. But you knocked down the bus stop.
Copy !req
68. I promise, it'll be fixed tomorrow.
Copy !req
69. You're not allowed
Copy !req
70. to knock down the bus stop,
it's a bus stop.
Copy !req
71. Look, it's on my list.
Copy !req
72. "#263: Broke bus stop
Copy !req
73. while looking for Poncho the blue fish."
Copy !req
74. Earl, I found it.
Copy !req
75. The guy's name is on
a sticker on the back.
Copy !req
76. "Property of:
Copy !req
77. "Professor Alex Meyers,
Copy !req
78. Frostburg State University."
Copy !req
79. A college?
Copy !req
80. Oh, man.
Copy !req
81. I wasn't looking forward to
driving all night to a college
Copy !req
82. and having to talk to an actual professor.
Copy !req
83. You see, I've never
done well around smart people.
Copy !req
84. Earl Hickey, your word is "knee."
Copy !req
85. Knee.
Copy !req
86. Um...
Copy !req
87. N... E...
Copy !req
88. Knee.
Copy !req
89. K-N-E-E. Knee.
Copy !req
90. The "K" is silent.
Copy !req
91. This is cool.
Copy !req
92. Like when that Hobbit in Rudy
Copy !req
93. walked on campus for the first time.
Copy !req
94. Frostburg State University.
Copy !req
95. Isn't that where Bullwinkle
went to college?
Copy !req
96. Went to Wossamotta U.
Lived in Frostbite Falls.
Copy !req
97. Look, check that building out over there.
Copy !req
98. I bet that's where
they keep all the bottles
Copy !req
99. filled with bubbling potions.
Copy !req
100. They might even have
a Frankenstein in there.
Copy !req
101. Or a smart monkey who can
count and smoke cigarettes.
Copy !req
102. We're not gonna have time
to find out, Randy.
Copy !req
103. We're gonna return this
laptop and get out of here.
Copy !req
104. Keep your eyes open for
the psychology department.
Copy !req
105. It's called Dunkle Hall.
Copy !req
106. Wait, didn't we have an Uncle Dunkle?
Copy !req
107. Randy?
Copy !req
108. Randy?
Copy !req
109. Go! Go! Go! Go!
Copy !req
110. Randy?
Copy !req
111. Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
112. I never thought of drinking beer
upside down before.
Copy !req
113. It tastes the same.
Copy !req
114. Yeah, but it goes to your brain
before it gets to your livers.
Copy !req
115. I always thought a fraternity
Copy !req
116. was just a bunch of old guys
riding little bikes in parades,
Copy !req
117. but this is way cooler than that.
Copy !req
118. Can I stay? Can I please stay?
Copy !req
119. Fine.
Copy !req
120. But I'm coming right back to get
you after I return the laptop.
Copy !req
121. Who wants to do a keg stand?
Copy !req
122. While Randy was making
Copy !req
123. new upside down beer drinking buddies,
Copy !req
124. I managed to track down
Professor Meyers' office.
Copy !req
125. Oh, uh, Professor Meyers...
Copy !req
126. Tom, come on, you know you can
Copy !req
127. call me Alex.
Copy !req
128. As much trouble as I had
Copy !req
129. dealing with smart guys,
well, I never quite
Copy !req
130. figured out how to handle smart women.
Copy !req
131. Earl Hickey, your word is "knowledge."
Copy !req
132. Knowledge.
Copy !req
133. N... O...
Copy !req
134. Knowledge.
Copy !req
135. K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E.
Copy !req
136. Knowledge.
Copy !req
137. The "K" is silent.
Copy !req
138. Double knot. Knot has a "K."
Copy !req
139. Knot, knot has a "K."
Copy !req
140. The "K" is, uh, silent.
Copy !req
141. Yeah, thanks. I'll remember that
next time I'm in second grade.
Copy !req
142. What's your name?
Copy !req
143. There were a lot of things
making me nervous
Copy !req
144. about confronting Alex.
Copy !req
145. Not only was she smart and pretty,
Copy !req
146. but I knew from experience she was also
Copy !req
147. the type of woman who grabbed
her purse a little tighter
Copy !req
148. when she saw a guy like me.
Copy !req
149. Here we go.
Copy !req
150. It's a bad one. Both sides.
Copy !req
151. I'm just returning your laptop.
Copy !req
152. What? God.
Copy !req
153. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
Copy !req
154. No, no, no, no. Never mind.
Copy !req
155. No, sorry. No rape here.
Copy !req
156. Great response, though.
Copy !req
157. I feel very safe. Thank you.
Copy !req
158. And I promise, next time
I blow that whistle,
Copy !req
159. it will be for a real rape.
Copy !req
160. I promise. Real rape.
Copy !req
161. Again, I'm really sorry, Earl.
Copy !req
162. It's okay. It was probably
just karma giving me
Copy !req
163. a little payback for stealing
Copy !req
164. your computer in the first place.
Copy !req
165. So you really made that list
based on a fear of karma?
Copy !req
166. Yeah, karma's tossed me around a little.
Copy !req
167. Tried to kill me.
Copy !req
168. Hit me with a car.
Copy !req
169. Earl, karma is a very complex
Buddhist principle.
Copy !req
170. It's the totality of a person's actions
Copy !req
171. which determines the fate of the
next stage of their existence.
Copy !req
172. Do good things and good things happen.
Copy !req
173. Do bad things and bad things happen.
Copy !req
174. Yeah, I actually like
your definition better.
Copy !req
175. Is there anyway
you would speak at my class?
Copy !req
176. It would be amazing.
Copy !req
177. We could put a rat in a cage
Copy !req
178. and assume he found the
cheese 'cause he was hungry,
Copy !req
179. but what if we could actually
ask the rat why he found it?
Copy !req
180. Excuse me.
Copy !req
181. This wasn't the first time
Copy !req
182. a woman kicked me in the
cherries and called me a rat,
Copy !req
183. but it was the first time I didn't mind.
Copy !req
184. I'll be your rat.
Copy !req
185. Really? Oh, great.
Copy !req
186. How's tomorrow? Do you have plans?
Copy !req
187. Tomorrow? No. Free as a bird.
Copy !req
188. What I was forgetting at the time
Copy !req
189. was a promise I had made
to another little lady.
Copy !req
190. You knocked down the bus stop.
Copy !req
191. Yeah, I know, ma'am.
Copy !req
192. I'm gonna fix it tomorrow.
Copy !req
193. So I guess I'll see you in class.
Copy !req
194. Great.
Copy !req
195. Ooh, God.
Copy !req
196. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
197. I don't...
Copy !req
198. I don't who would have left gum in here.
Copy !req
199. It wasn't karma again, was it?
Copy !req
200. No, no. Some thing's are just accidents.
Copy !req
201. Blinded by a beautiful woman
Copy !req
202. wearing shoes that make her
calves pop out real nice,
Copy !req
203. well, I forgot that in my world,
Copy !req
204. things are never just accidents,
Copy !req
205. they happen for a reason.
Copy !req
206. I had promised to take care
of something on my list
Copy !req
207. and until I did it, karma
was gonna keep reminding me.
Copy !req
208. Randy.
Copy !req
209. These guys are so smart, Earl.
Copy !req
210. They figured out how to put booze in food.
Copy !req
211. Except you can't eat
too many or you pass out
Copy !req
212. and they write "balls" on your forehead
in permanent marker.
Copy !req
213. Listen, Professor Meyers is a woman.
Copy !req
214. Is she hot?
Copy !req
215. She's not just hot,
she's hot and she's smart.
Copy !req
216. Like a stewardess?
Copy !req
217. Way smarter.
Copy !req
218. And she called me interesting.
Copy !req
219. No woman like that's ever called me
interesting, Randy.
Copy !req
220. And I'm speaking at her class tomorrow.
Copy !req
221. We're staying another day?
Copy !req
222. Awesome! That means I'm in
Copy !req
223. for the bottle rocket fight tomorrow.
Copy !req
224. Hey everybody, Pledge Randy's
in for Lolla-Fallujah.
Copy !req
225. I'm pledging. That means
these guys are all going
to be my brothers.
Copy !req
226. But it's not like I have to get
Copy !req
227. them all Christmas presents or anything.
Copy !req
228. Maybe we'll have a Secret Santa.
Copy !req
229. If we do, I hope I get Steve.
Copy !req
230. He's got lots of interests
Copy !req
231. and we wear the same size.
Copy !req
232. I know you all have a lot of questions,
Copy !req
233. but let's keep them brief
so we all get a chance
Copy !req
234. to talk to this fascinating
resource— Mr. Earl Hickey.
Copy !req
235. Hello.
Copy !req
236. Did you guys type what I just said?
Copy !req
237. This is kind of freaking me out.
Copy !req
238. Okay, guys, how about
we don't take notes
Copy !req
239. and just listen to what
Mr. Hickey has to say.
Copy !req
240. I'm, uh, here to talk about psychology,
Copy !req
241. which, as you all know,
Copy !req
242. is "the science dealing with
Copy !req
243. "the mind and mental
Copy !req
244. "and emotional...
Copy !req
245. processes."
Copy !req
246. Okay, Earl, how about
Copy !req
247. you tell us about
Copy !req
248. you and your list
Copy !req
249. in your own words.
Copy !req
250. Okay, well, I've been bad.
Copy !req
251. Really, really bad.
Copy !req
252. And their reaction surprised me a little.
Copy !req
253. And usually the Air Force
would shoot you for doing that.
Copy !req
254. But they figured I was too drunk
to remember what I saw.
Copy !req
255. But as we all know now, they were wrong.
Copy !req
256. They were enjoying my stories.
Copy !req
257. So I kept on telling them.
Copy !req
258. Oh, and there was this other time
Copy !req
259. when I went to the amusement park...
Copy !req
260. That's when I realized Ginzu knives
Copy !req
261. would cut cans but not bones.
Copy !req
262. So now I'm stuck in a trap and bleeding.
Copy !req
263. I never had anyone clap for me before,
Copy !req
264. and I liked it
Copy !req
265. And the fact that Alex was clapping,
Copy !req
266. well, that felt better than anything.
Copy !req
267. You were amazing.
Copy !req
268. And... and funny,
Copy !req
269. and charming and...
Copy !req
270. so adorable.
Copy !req
271. An amazing thing happened after class.
Copy !req
272. We just kept walking and talking.
Copy !req
273. And we never ran out of stuff to say.
Copy !req
274. It was like one of those movies
Copy !req
275. where a guy meets a girl
Copy !req
276. and they talk and laugh
at each other's stories.
Copy !req
277. I usually don't watch movies like that,
Copy !req
278. but I was starting to
understand why people do.
Copy !req
279. You know, I have this lunch tomorrow
Copy !req
280. for the regents, and I hate going
to these things alone.
Copy !req
281. Yeah, me, too.
Copy !req
282. I mean, if I knew what regents were.
Copy !req
283. Right now I'm picturing them as dragons.
Copy !req
284. Pretty close.
Copy !req
285. You know, you'd be
my knight in shining armor
if you came with me.
Copy !req
286. You want me to go?
Copy !req
287. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
288. I could do that, yeah.
Copy !req
289. I could be your knight.
Copy !req
290. I'd have to bring my sword.
Copy !req
291. I didn't mean that dirty.
Copy !req
292. I'm just, uh...
Copy !req
293. So what time is this thing?
Copy !req
294. It's 2:00.
Copy !req
295. So... sure there's nothing
I'm taking you away from?
Copy !req
296. I'm sure.
Copy !req
297. So, should I meet you at your...?
Ooh, watch out!
Copy !req
298. Ow!
Copy !req
299. Are you okay?
Copy !req
300. Yeah.
Copy !req
301. I don't even know where this came from.
Copy !req
302. Randy?
Copy !req
303. Hey, Earl.
Copy !req
304. Randy, I think she likes me.
Copy !req
305. She asked me to go to a party.
Copy !req
306. And we talked and we joked around.
Copy !req
307. She even touched my arm.
Copy !req
308. Really? How'd she do that?
Copy !req
309. If feels like she likes you.
That's what I'm saying.
Copy !req
310. Does this mean we're going
to stay another night?
Copy !req
311. Would you walk away from that?
Copy !req
312. No way. I even like when you do it.
Copy !req
313. This means
Copy !req
314. I get to finish pledging.
Copy !req
315. I was worried you were going
to want to go home
Copy !req
316. and fix the bus stop.
Copy !req
317. The what? Watch out!
Copy !req
318. Check it out. I almost hit Magnum P.I.
Copy !req
319. That could have killed you.
Copy !req
320. And that's when it finally hit me.
Copy !req
321. What karma was trying to tell me.
Copy !req
322. The bus stop.
Copy !req
323. I forgot about the bus stop.
Copy !req
324. That's what's going on, Randy.
Copy !req
325. I told that lady I would
cross it off my list,
Copy !req
326. and I haven't.
Copy !req
327. That's why karma's punishing me,
Copy !req
328. 'cause I've been putting off
the list to be with Alex.
Copy !req
329. Maybe I'm supposed
Copy !req
330. to go and fix the bus stop.
Copy !req
331. Hey, sorry,
Copy !req
332. I forgot to give this back to you.
Copy !req
333. Thank you again for today.
Copy !req
334. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
335. We're staying. Yes!
Copy !req
336. Karma can do whatever it wants
to me. I can take it.
Copy !req
337. Alex is worth it.
Copy !req
338. Heads up!
Copy !req
339. Still worth it.
Copy !req
340. Although I've had a lot
of cocktails in my life,
Copy !req
341. I've never actually been
to a cocktail party.
Copy !req
342. I have to admit, I was a little nervous.
Copy !req
343. But the sounds of the fountains
were surprisingly calming.
Copy !req
344. Shrimp kabob?
Copy !req
345. How much for two?
Copy !req
346. They're free.
Copy !req
347. Free shrimp, huh?
Copy !req
348. College... nice.
Copy !req
349. Well, well, don't you look handsome.
Copy !req
350. Nice outfit.
Copy !req
351. Thanks. I borrowed it from a frat brother.
Copy !req
352. Which is why the pants
smell like bong water.
Copy !req
353. I also found Cheetos and a Ho Ho
Copy !req
354. in one of the pockets.
Copy !req
355. But they have free shrimp here
so we're good.
Copy !req
356. Thank you.
Copy !req
357. Damn!
Copy !req
358. Are you okay?
Copy !req
359. Yeah, I'm fine.
Copy !req
360. Nice try, karma.
Copy !req
361. Excuse me?
Copy !req
362. Oh, nothing. I just...
Copy !req
363. Karma was still mad at me.
Copy !req
364. But I was willing to take the punishment.
Copy !req
365. Although not everyone was as willing
Copy !req
366. as I was to take punishment.
Copy !req
367. Assume the positions.
Copy !req
368. You want me to bend over so you
can smack me with that paddle?
Copy !req
369. Yeah.
Copy !req
370. Look, I like drinking
and I love riding tricycles,
Copy !req
371. but if someone hits me with a paddle,
Copy !req
372. I'm gonna knock them on their ass.
Copy !req
373. I thought we were friends.
Copy !req
374. We are.
Copy !req
375. But the older brothers did it
to us when we were pledges,
Copy !req
376. so now it's our turn to torture somebody.
Copy !req
377. Well, if you want to get someone back,
Copy !req
378. why don't you paddle the guy
who paddled you?
Copy !req
379. Not some poor guys who didn't
do anything to anyone.
Copy !req
380. Um... Huh...
Copy !req
381. Randy never thought he'd be so satisfied
Copy !req
382. watching guys spank each other on the ass.
Copy !req
383. But as it turns out, he was.
Copy !req
384. And that's basically how you get
Copy !req
385. a ballpoint pen out of your neck.
Copy !req
386. Ew! Uh...
Copy !req
387. Oh, uh...
Copy !req
388. I think a... a bird just...
Copy !req
389. got ya.
Copy !req
390. Great.
Copy !req
391. You're pretty unlucky.
Copy !req
392. Yeah, I'm very unlucky.
Copy !req
393. Ow!
Copy !req
394. Son of a...!
Copy !req
395. What? What happened? What?
Copy !req
396. A bee just stung my lip.
Copy !req
397. Really? Bees? That's how
we're going to play, huh?
Copy !req
398. Okay, Earl, who are you talking to?
Copy !req
399. Karma. Karma's been after me
Copy !req
400. for putting off my list to be with you.
Copy !req
401. The champagne cork,
the bird crap, the bee.
Copy !req
402. Earl, that's crazy.
Copy !req
403. They're just accidents.
Copy !req
404. There's no way karma has anything to do
Copy !req
405. with any of this, okay?
Copy !req
406. Ow!
Copy !req
407. Karma's trying to kill me again.
Copy !req
408. I got to cross something off my list.
Copy !req
409. I'm sorry. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
410. How do you know if it's hitting you?
Copy !req
411. When it's hitting you, you'll know.
Copy !req
412. It's hitting me. Cool.
Copy !req
413. It is so not cool.
Copy !req
414. Wait, wait, wait.
Copy !req
415. I need you to punch me.
Copy !req
416. It wants me to punch it. Punch it.
Copy !req
417. Listen to your friend— punch it.
Copy !req
418. I will not die tonight!
Copy !req
419. Look out!
Copy !req
420. Ow!
Copy !req
421. Sorry.
Copy !req
422. Again?
Copy !req
423. Come on, I'm trying here.
Copy !req
424. You saw me trying.
Copy !req
425. That guy slammed the door in my face.
Copy !req
426. You know what, that's it.
Copy !req
427. I'm going back to the party.
Copy !req
428. So if you want to punish me,
give me your best shot.
Copy !req
429. Come on, give it to me once and for all.
Copy !req
430. 'Cause I'm going to be with her
whether you like it or not.
Copy !req
431. This is my list,
Copy !req
432. and I will cross things off
when I choose— not you.
Copy !req
433. I will not be karma's bitch.
Copy !req
434. That's what I thought.
Copy !req
435. When I got back to the party,
Alex wasn't there
Copy !req
436. so I'd hoped I would find her
in her office.
Copy !req
437. Good, you're here.
Copy !req
438. I did it.
Copy !req
439. I looked karma in the eye
and karma backed down.
Copy !req
440. Son of a bitch.
Copy !req
441. I think the bees were
looking for you, Earl.
Copy !req
442. How bad is it?
Copy !req
443. Uh, it's. Uh...
Copy !req
444. it-it's not too bad.
Copy !req
445. They just kept coming after me.
Copy !req
446. It was like they were
on some kind of mission.
Copy !req
447. It knows it can't get to me
so it's going after you.
Copy !req
448. What?
Copy !req
449. Karma.
Copy !req
450. It's like the bad guy in Spider-Man.
Copy !req
451. He can't beat Spider-Man,
so he goes after his girlfriend.
Copy !req
452. Karma can't get to me, so...
Copy !req
453. You think it's going after me?
Copy !req
454. I know you think I'm crazy, but I...
Copy !req
455. No, believe me, I don't.
Copy !req
456. I'm sorry, Alex.
Copy !req
457. We can't do this.
Copy !req
458. I have to get away from you
Copy !req
459. before you really get hurt.
Copy !req
460. More than this.
Copy !req
461. Yeah, it's just...
Copy !req
462. too bad, 'cause I was...
Copy !req
463. just starting to think that we...
Copy !req
464. Yeah, me, too.
Copy !req
465. But it's just not in the cards
for me right now.
Copy !req
466. I can't be anyone's boyfriend.
Copy !req
467. I'm karma's bitch.
Copy !req
468. It was a hard thing to do
Copy !req
469. walking away from Alex,
but it was the right thing.
Copy !req
470. Just because I met a pretty girl,
Copy !req
471. doesn't mean I deserve to be with her yet.
Copy !req
472. I've done a lot of bad things in my life
Copy !req
473. and I still need to make up for them.
Copy !req
474. And that's what karma
was trying to tell me.
Copy !req
475. But I realize I don't need bottle rockets,
Copy !req
476. darts or bee stings to see that.
Copy !req
477. It's the feeling I get
Copy !req
478. when I cross something off my list
Copy !req
479. that reminds me I'm going
in the right direction.
Copy !req
480. And each day
Copy !req
481. I'm getting a little closer to
the kind of man I want to be.
Copy !req
482. "Earl, remember what
you're working for.
Copy !req
483. Thinking of you, Alex."
Copy !req
484. And who knows—
Copy !req
485. if I keep doing what I'm doing,
Copy !req
486. one day I will deserve a girl like Alex.
Copy !req
487. 'Cause that's the way karma works.
