1. You know the kind of guy who does nothing
Copy !req
2. but bad things
Copy !req
3. and then wonders why his life sucks?
Copy !req
4. Well, that was me.
Copy !req
5. Every time something good happened to me,
Copy !req
6. something bad was always
waiting around the corner.
Copy !req
7. Karma.
Copy !req
8. That's when I realized I had to change.
Copy !req
9. So I made a list of everything
bad I've ever done,
Copy !req
10. and, one by one, I'm going
to make up for all my mistakes.
Copy !req
11. I'm just trying to be a better person.
Copy !req
12. You may wonder why me and Randy
Copy !req
13. are hiding in the bushes
watching a little kid.
Copy !req
14. Well, it all started about six years ago,
Copy !req
15. and I don't mean our watching little kids.
Copy !req
16. Joy had recently given birth
to my first illegitimate child,
Copy !req
17. and we didn't have a fancy nanny,
Copy !req
18. so every day was
"Take Your Baby to Work Day."
Copy !req
19. Albie, hurry up.
Copy !req
20. Would you two dummies relax?
Copy !req
21. "Aunt Edna's birthday party.
Copy !req
22. 5:00 to 8:00."
Copy !req
23. We got all night.
Copy !req
24. Now, who wants rich-people food?
Copy !req
25. Ooh, y'all, they got real cheese.
Copy !req
26. Unfortunately, the family only left
Copy !req
27. to pick up the guest of honor.
Copy !req
28. Aunt Edna's birthday party was here,
Copy !req
29. and that changed our plans
Copy !req
30. from robbing to getting the hell out.
Copy !req
31. We tried to escape, but...
Copy !req
32. unfortunately our crime scene
became a party scene,
Copy !req
33. and we were trapped.
Copy !req
34. Isn't this just horrific?
Copy !req
35. George's last wife had dreadful taste.
Copy !req
36. It was every man, woman
and baby for himself.
Copy !req
37. Who's that Boo Radley
guy behind the plant?
Copy !req
38. That's Rose's son—
Copy !req
39. the one she was pregnant with
for nearly a year.
Copy !req
40. It's really sad.
Copy !req
41. I think he's only 11.
Copy !req
42. Everyone got out.
Copy !req
43. Everyone but me.
Copy !req
44. Come on, it's time for bed.
Copy !req
45. Can I sleep in your bedroom?
Copy !req
46. You're too old for that, Albie.
Copy !req
47. Tell me a story, Daddy.
Copy !req
48. Okay.
Copy !req
49. Once upon a time,
there was a giant armadillo...
Copy !req
50. George, are you still up there?
Copy !req
51. You know, I should
be getting back to the guests.
Copy !req
52. Sleep tight, sport.
Copy !req
53. At least leave the lights on
to keep the boogeyman away.
Copy !req
54. We've been through this, Albie.
Copy !req
55. You know there's no such thing
Copy !req
56. as the boogeyman.
Copy !req
57. Okay?
Copy !req
58. Good night.
Copy !req
59. There's no such thing as the boogeyman.
Copy !req
60. There's no such thing as the boogeyman.
Copy !req
61. There's no such thing as the boogeyman.
Copy !req
62. There's no such thing as the boogeyman.
Copy !req
63. There's no such thing as the boogeyman.
Copy !req
64. There's no such thing as the boogeyman.
Copy !req
65. There is a boogeyman!
Copy !req
66. There is a boogeyman!
Copy !req
67. And there you have it, #239:
Copy !req
68. Made a kid scared of the boogeyman.
Copy !req
69. Look, Earl, he's got a trampoline.
Copy !req
70. We should steal it, put it
in the motel parking lot.
Copy !req
71. Then we could use it to go up and down
Copy !req
72. from our room without ever
having to use the stairs.
Copy !req
73. Randy, we're here for the kid,
Copy !req
74. not his trampoline.
Copy !req
75. Hey, there, little guy.
Copy !req
76. It's you!
Copy !req
77. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Copy !req
78. take it easy with that fancy hammer, kid.
Copy !req
79. J-Just put it down.
Copy !req
80. I'm just here to talk to you.
Copy !req
81. I explained my list
Copy !req
82. and the whole boogeyman
misunderstanding to Albie,
Copy !req
83. and I realized, if you talk
to kids like they're adults,
Copy !req
84. they'll treat you with the same respect.
Copy !req
85. You're a buttwad, and I hate you.
Copy !req
86. Look, I was a buttwad,
but now I'm trying not to be.
Copy !req
87. I know I can't unscare you,
but maybe there is
Copy !req
88. some other way I can make it up to you.
How?
Copy !req
89. Sometimes, the people on my list,
Copy !req
90. they choose how I'm going
to make things up to them.
Copy !req
91. So whatever I say,
you have to do, buttwad?
Copy !req
92. Yeah, that's kinda how it works.
Copy !req
93. Be my slave all day.
Copy !req
94. You should do it, Earl.
Copy !req
95. Being his slave could be cool.
Copy !req
96. You get to sing while you work.
Copy !req
97. Whoo!
Copy !req
98. Fine, I'll do it.
Copy !req
99. Albie's suggestion was a little childish,
Copy !req
100. but he was just a kid.
Copy !req
101. Unfortunately, he handled
firearms like an adult.
Copy !req
102. Okay. Edward, smile like your brother.
Copy !req
103. Smile.
Copy !req
104. Edmond, get your hands off your wee-wee.
Copy !req
105. Albie, we're gonna be back late.
Copy !req
106. Now, there's sandwich stuff in the fridge
Copy !req
107. if you get hungry, okay?
Copy !req
108. Excuse me.
Copy !req
109. Uh, if you're going
to keep aiming for my crotch,
Copy !req
110. do you think you could give me, like, a...
Copy !req
111. an ashtray or something I could
put down the front of my pants?
Copy !req
112. I'm bored!
Copy !req
113. Let's play Boat.
Copy !req
114. Starboard. Starboard.
Copy !req
115. That's port. I said starboard.
Copy !req
116. I told you, Albie, I don't know
fancy sailing terms.
Copy !req
117. The engine does not talk to the captain.
Copy !req
118. It makes engine sounds.
Copy !req
119. Wrong.
Copy !req
120. Can you at least tell me what I did wrong?
Copy !req
121. Nope. Figure it out.
Copy !req
122. All right, I'll try, uh,
turkey and mayo, no pickles.
Copy !req
123. Good luck with that.
Copy !req
124. Once it got dark, I figured
I'd be able to go home,
Copy !req
125. but Albie decided I needed
to sleep underneath his window
Copy !req
126. in case he needed something.
Copy !req
127. I'm gonna go to sleep.
Copy !req
128. Try to keep the crickets down, will you?
Copy !req
129. How?
Copy !req
130. Scare 'em. You're good at that.
Copy !req
131. Earl.
Copy !req
132. Earl.
Copy !req
133. How's being a slave?
Copy !req
134. Is it fun?
Copy !req
135. No, it isn't fun, Randy.
Copy !req
136. I got shot with paintballs,
was used as a motorboat
Copy !req
137. and was forced
to race his dog on all fours.
Copy !req
138. That's not fair, Earl.
Copy !req
139. Dogs are used to racing on all fours.
Copy !req
140. I bet he won. Did he win?
Copy !req
141. Yeah, he won.
Copy !req
142. Still, great day— paintball,
Copy !req
143. and you got to race an animal.
Copy !req
144. You'll beat him next time.
Copy !req
145. You just have to practice.
Copy !req
146. Oh.
Copy !req
147. Unless the dog practices, too,
Copy !req
148. which he probably will.
Copy !req
149. Earl! Earl! Where are you?
Copy !req
150. Great. I wonder
what his highness wants now.
Copy !req
151. Bye, Earl.
Copy !req
152. Where were you?
Copy !req
153. I had to explain to my friends
Copy !req
154. that I couldn't come home
'cause you might want
Copy !req
155. a Hot Pocket at 2:00 in the morning.
Copy !req
156. I was here all alone, and you
weren't here to protect me.
Copy !req
157. That's when I started to realize
Copy !req
158. there was more to Albie
than just being spoiled.
Copy !req
159. And when his light stayed
on all night, I knew for sure.
Copy !req
160. Albie was scared of the dark
Copy !req
161. because some idiot hid under his bed,
Copy !req
162. and since I was that idiot,
I had to help him.
Copy !req
163. I had no idea how to cure kid problems,
Copy !req
164. but I did know someone who had
caused a lot of kid problems,
Copy !req
165. so I went to her for help.
Copy !req
166. This feels weird.
Copy !req
167. It's not weird; it's metrosexual.
Copy !req
168. Pretty soon metrosexuality's
going to hit Camden County,
Copy !req
169. and when all the men start
turning into half-fruits,
Copy !req
170. Joy's Nails is gonna be ready.
Copy !req
171. Joy, do you remember a few months ago,
Copy !req
172. when Dodge was scared of the dark?
Copy !req
173. Yeah. Unfortunately,
Copy !req
174. that was my fault, 'cause
when he heard us having sex,
Copy !req
175. I told him it was me
fighting off the wolf man.
Copy !req
176. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Copy !req
177. Mommy?
Copy !req
178. Are you okay?
Copy !req
179. Go to bed, honey.
Copy !req
180. Mommy's just fighting
off the wolf man again.
Copy !req
181. So how did you cure him?
Copy !req
182. Unfortunately, he got brave one time
Copy !req
183. and walked in trying to save me
Copy !req
184. and saw there was no wolf man,
Copy !req
185. just Darnell plowing me.
Copy !req
186. He still won't look me in the eye.
Copy !req
187. Okay, well, thanks for the advice.
Copy !req
188. Leave the pinkie finger long.
Copy !req
189. I use it to get between my sock and shoe
Copy !req
190. to scratch my foot.
Copy !req
191. I realized the first thing
I had to do to help Albie
Copy !req
192. was to get him to admit his fear.
Copy !req
193. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
194. You only had to be my slave for a day.
Copy !req
195. It's okay to be scared of the dark, Albie.
Copy !req
196. I'm not scared of the dark.
Copy !req
197. All right,
but even if you were, it's okay.
Copy !req
198. I'm scared of stuff.
Copy !req
199. Like what?
Copy !req
200. Well, like sewer gators.
Copy !req
201. You know, they might come up and bite me
Copy !req
202. when I sit on the toilet, so most times,
Copy !req
203. I just kind of hover.
Copy !req
204. I am scared of the dark, Earl.
Copy !req
205. I'm gonna help you get over that.
Copy !req
206. Albie agreed to dim the lights
a little each night
Copy !req
207. as long as I was there to protect him.
Copy !req
208. Earl?
Copy !req
209. I'm here, Albie.
Copy !req
210. I know.
Copy !req
211. I was wondering...
Copy !req
212. what's it like having a mustache?
Copy !req
213. Let me give you
one piece of advice, Albie.
Copy !req
214. The second your body's ready, grow one.
Copy !req
215. Turning down the lights that night
Copy !req
216. helped Albie a little bit,
Copy !req
217. but what really helped was just talking.
Copy !req
218. The next night, we dimmed
the lights a little more
Copy !req
219. and talked about relationships.
Copy !req
220. Why don't you ask her out?
Copy !req
221. I don't know.
Copy !req
222. What you said really scared me.
Copy !req
223. Oh, well, Joy's a bad example.
Copy !req
224. Not all women are like that.
Copy !req
225. The next night, we dimmed
the lights even more
Copy !req
226. and talked about some of life's
biggest questions.
Copy !req
227. Well, no one really knows for sure,
Copy !req
228. but I like to think the first
thing that happens in heaven
Copy !req
229. is that you get to watch
your whole life on TV.
Copy !req
230. That's cool.
Copy !req
231. So one day we might both
be watching this on TV?
Copy !req
232. Yeah, maybe.
Copy !req
233. Hey, dead Earl.
Copy !req
234. Hey, dead Albie.
Copy !req
235. And before you knew it,
Copy !req
236. the little guy didn't need
the light at all.
Copy !req
237. Good night, Earl.
Copy !req
238. Good night, Albie.
Copy !req
239. Earl, wake up!
Copy !req
240. I did it. I slept with the
lights off and I wasn't scared.
Copy !req
241. That's great, Albie.
Copy !req
242. What's that on your face?
Copy !req
243. Snails.
Copy !req
244. I stopped swatting them off
around midnight.
Copy !req
245. And after a week of sleeping
on a tree full of bugs,
Copy !req
246. I was looking forward to taking a nap
Copy !req
247. on real furniture full of bugs.
Copy !req
248. I still can't believe
you didn't call me
Copy !req
249. when you were playing paintball.
Copy !req
250. It combines two of my favorite things:
Copy !req
251. toy guns and paint.
Copy !req
252. Not going to be any more
paintball for me, Randy.
Copy !req
253. I'm crossing him off the list.
Copy !req
254. I want to live with you.
Copy !req
255. Wait, three things; I also like balls.
Copy !req
256. Balls of paint. I-I like balls of paint.
Copy !req
257. What do you mean,
you want to live with me?
Copy !req
258. You care about me, Earl.
Copy !req
259. My dad doesn't.
Copy !req
260. I was scared of the dark for ages,
Copy !req
261. and he didn't do one thing about it.
Copy !req
262. Albie went on to paint
a picture of his home life.
Copy !req
263. Ever since his dad remarried
and had twins,
Copy !req
264. Albie was completely ignored.
Copy !req
265. I felt bad for him.
Copy !req
266. Check it out, Earl. It's a superhero mask.
Copy !req
267. The eyes are kind of far apart.
Copy !req
268. Oh.
Copy !req
269. Look, Albie,
Copy !req
270. you can't just leave home
and come live here.
Copy !req
271. The number for George Tollhurst, please.
Copy !req
272. He can live here, Earl.
Copy !req
273. We'll make him sleep sideways
at the foot of our bed—
Copy !req
274. you know, to keep our toes warm.
Copy !req
275. Do you have fuzzy pajamas?
Copy !req
276. Hello, Mr. Tollhurst?
Copy !req
277. Yeah, I just wanted you to know
that I've got your son.
Copy !req
278. No, the other son.
Copy !req
279. No, the other son.
Copy !req
280. Yeah, that's him.
He's right here, and I...
Copy !req
281. Hello? Hello?
Copy !req
282. Why'd you do that?
Copy !req
283. I'm the last one he thought of,
Copy !req
284. and I don't want him to know where I am.
Copy !req
285. Yeah, it's me again.
Copy !req
286. Listen, I don't know who you are
or what you want from me,
Copy !req
287. but I want you to know that
you have my full cooperation.
Copy !req
288. Just don't hurt Albie.
Copy !req
289. What?
Copy !req
290. No, no, no, no!
Copy !req
291. You don't understand what's going on here.
Copy !req
292. Albie's sitting
right next to me, and he's...
Copy !req
293. I'm not going home.
Copy !req
294. Albie, yes, you are.
Copy !req
295. Get back here.
Copy !req
296. Albie. Albie, open up.
Copy !req
297. Is he going to be in there awhile, Earl?
Copy !req
298. I didn't have to use the bathroom,
Copy !req
299. but now that I can't,
I'm getting kind of antsy.
Copy !req
300. Come on, Albie, it's been a half an hour.
Copy !req
301. Enough, okay?
Copy !req
302. Come on out now.
Copy !req
303. How come there's two of you,
Copy !req
304. but only one deodorant in here?
Copy !req
305. Oh, we're brothers, so we share.
Copy !req
306. We do?
Copy !req
307. Earl, the motel's on TV.
Copy !req
308. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
309. They think we're...
Copy !req
310. I'm going to go out
and explain everything to them.
Copy !req
311. I don't want to go home.
Copy !req
312. If you go out, I'll tell
them you kidnapped me.
Copy !req
313. And I'll tell them I didn't.
Copy !req
314. Then I'll tell them you did.
Copy !req
315. And I'll tell them he didn't.
Copy !req
316. Then I'll tell them you put
my underwear on your head.
Copy !req
317. Uh-oh.
Copy !req
318. I'm sorry, Earl.
Copy !req
319. I really did think it was a mask.
Copy !req
320. Hit.
Copy !req
321. We're in hour two of the
Camden kidnappers standoff.
Copy !req
322. Usually the Palm Tree Motel
isn't known for its views,
Copy !req
323. but today, there may be a view to a kill.
Copy !req
324. All right, we got to do something.
Copy !req
325. We can't just stay locked up
in here forever.
Copy !req
326. Why not? It's fun.
Copy !req
327. Albie, you're not
thinking this thing through.
Copy !req
328. I mean, how long do you think
we can stay locked up in here?
Copy !req
329. We don't even have any food.
Copy !req
330. Just give up.
Copy !req
331. They said they're going
Copy !req
332. to kill me if you don't give us pizza.
Copy !req
333. Albie, what are you doing?
Copy !req
334. Hey, tell them we'll still kill
you if it's not pepperoni.
Copy !req
335. Randy!
Copy !req
336. Okay, there's got to be a way.
Copy !req
337. Maybe Catalina's outside
Copy !req
338. explaining that we're not kidnappers.
Copy !req
339. She knows about Albie and my list.
Copy !req
340. Unfortunately, Catalina's
an illegal immigrant
Copy !req
341. and thought all the SWAT teams
were out there for her.
Copy !req
342. No. That's my son up there.
Copy !req
343. Don't worry, Albie.
Copy !req
344. We're not going to let
anything happen to you.
Copy !req
345. We're not... When we want to use
Copy !req
346. the bullhorn, we ask to use the bullhorn.
Copy !req
347. We do not snatch the bullhorn.
Copy !req
348. See? Your dad cares about you.
Copy !req
349. He's just saying that
'cause the cameras are here
Copy !req
350. and he doesn't want to look
like a bad dad on TV.
Copy !req
351. Earl, it's almost 2:00.
Copy !req
352. Can we switch the TV over
Copy !req
353. and watch Win, Lose or Draw?
Copy !req
354. A simple misunderstanding
gets a lot less simple
Copy !req
355. once you add choppers and a SWAT team.
Copy !req
356. Those guys have bazookas.
Copy !req
357. I can't take it anymore.
Copy !req
358. I'm going out there.
Copy !req
359. I'll tell them you kidnapped me.
Copy !req
360. Fine. You say whatever you want, Albie.
Copy !req
361. I'm going to tell the truth
and take my chances.
Copy !req
362. The Camden Police Department
Copy !req
363. has identified the kidnapper
as Earl Hickey.
Copy !req
364. With me is the alleged kidnapper's
Copy !req
365. former wife Joy Turner.
Copy !req
366. Joy, what was it like
being married to a monster?
Copy !req
367. Frankly, I didn't know he was capable
Copy !req
368. of something like this,
Copy !req
369. but I know earlier in the week,
Copy !req
370. he was asking me about spending
nights with the boy.
Copy !req
371. So this was planned?
Copy !req
372. But it was okay, because
the boy was on his list.
Copy !req
373. He has a list of boys?
Copy !req
374. Look, before this goes
any further— excuse me—
Copy !req
375. I just want to say one thing:
Copy !req
376. If you're looking for a
reasonably priced manicure
Copy !req
377. that's gentle enough for a woman
Copy !req
378. but man enough for a half-fruit,
call Joy's Nails.
Copy !req
379. We're in the book.
Copy !req
380. You know the suspect.
Copy !req
381. Do you have anything to add?
Copy !req
382. Well, I don't know if he's watching,
Copy !req
383. but if he is, hey, Earl.
Copy !req
384. Hey, Crab Man.
Copy !req
385. See, what I'd do is push
these cuticles back.
Copy !req
386. They'd look a lot more clean...
Copy !req
387. Is this really what you need
to be doing right now?
Copy !req
388. Sir, it's a waiting game.
Copy !req
389. Look, I'm tired of waiting!
Copy !req
390. That's not cool, man.
Copy !req
391. He's leaving.
Copy !req
392. He's not even pretending to care anymore.
Copy !req
393. Albie, pretending that you're kidnapped
Copy !req
394. isn't helping your relationship
with your dad.
Copy !req
395. And to be honest, it's straining
Copy !req
396. our relationship a little bit.
Copy !req
397. Will you stop poking me?
Copy !req
398. I'm just trying to catch
that cool little dot
Copy !req
399. that's on your back.
Copy !req
400. Now it's on your belly.
Copy !req
401. It went away.
Copy !req
402. There it is.
Copy !req
403. There's been a new development
Copy !req
404. in the child kidnapping case.
Copy !req
405. The victim's father
Copy !req
406. has climbed the fire escape
to the motel roof.
Copy !req
407. What is that jackass doing?
Copy !req
408. Well, I'll be damned.
Copy !req
409. Hey, look, I see
your dad's legs on TV
Copy !req
410. and out there in real life, too.
Copy !req
411. Shoot that idiot with a beanbag.
Copy !req
412. Albie...
Copy !req
413. Dad!
Copy !req
414. Dad?
Copy !req
415. Are you okay?
Copy !req
416. Albie.
Copy !req
417. I love you, son.
Copy !req
418. Let's go home, Albie.
Copy !req
419. It was hard to be upset with Albie.
Copy !req
420. He was just a kid who wanted
to know that his dad loved him.
Copy !req
421. Even though he could be a pain sometimes,
Copy !req
422. seeing Albie happy made me happy, too.
Copy !req
423. I just wish he was a little quicker
Copy !req
424. to explain our situation to the police.
Copy !req
425. Hey, look, Earl, fancy smoke.
Copy !req
426. Oh, it's making me sad.
Copy !req
427. Randy, put it down. But it's so pretty.
Copy !req
428. Randy, put that thing...
Randy, put it down!
Copy !req
429. I really like it, Earl.
Copy !req
430. Put it down, Randy!
Copy !req
431. It's really pretty.
Copy !req
432. Randy, put it down.
Copy !req
433. It's so pretty, Earl.
Copy !req
434. Do you see how pretty it is?
Copy !req
435. Hey, Earl.
Copy !req
436. Yeah, Randy?
Copy !req
437. Did you hear about me and the Cheeto?
Copy !req
438. No. What happened?
Copy !req
439. Well, it was pretty amazing.
Copy !req
440. I was eating some Cheetos,
Copy !req
441. and I missed my mouth with one,
Copy !req
442. and it bounced off my
chin and onto my shoulder,
Copy !req
443. and then it rolled all the way down my arm
Copy !req
444. and right back into the bag.
Copy !req
445. Sounds pretty amazing.
Copy !req
446. Yeah. Everyone at the Crab Shack's
Copy !req
447. talking about it.
Copy !req
448. Cool.
Copy !req
449. Good night, Randy.
Copy !req
450. Good night, Earl.
Copy !req
451. I made it up, Earl.
Copy !req
452. I know you did.
Copy !req
453. Last year you told me the same story
Copy !req
454. about a Good & Plenty.
Copy !req
455. That would be pretty cool
if it happened, though.
Copy !req
456. Yeah, it'd be cool.
