1. I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't nervous
Copy !req
2. about doing #86 on my list:
Copy !req
3. "Stole a car from a one-legged girl."
Copy !req
4. You said you loved me!
Copy !req
5. I understand why she was so upset.
Copy !req
6. That car was like a leg to her.
Copy !req
7. If you'll just let me explain.
Copy !req
8. You son of a bitch!
Copy !req
9. Wow, you move pretty good
with that leg, Didi.
Copy !req
10. And as handi-capable
as one-legged Didi was,
Copy !req
11. her no-legged boyfriend was handicapabler.
Copy !req
12. Damn!
Copy !req
13. I was starting to think
that today wasn't the day
Copy !req
14. to do #86 on the list.
Copy !req
15. Maybe karma wanted me somewhere else.
Copy !req
16. And then I got a sign.
Copy !req
17. You know the kind of guy who does nothing
Copy !req
18. but bad things and then wonders
Copy !req
19. why his life sucks?
Copy !req
20. Well, that was me.
Copy !req
21. Every time something good happened to me,
Copy !req
22. something bad was always
waiting around the corner.
Copy !req
23. Karma.
Copy !req
24. That when I realized I had to change.
Copy !req
25. So, I made a list of everything
bad I've ever done,
Copy !req
26. and, one by one, I'm gonna
make up for all my mistakes.
Copy !req
27. I'm just trying to be a better person.
Copy !req
28. So how many times
that sign? obot man hit you with
Copy !req
29. I don't know;
I blacked out after about seven.
Copy !req
30. I still can't figure out
why he took my boots.
Copy !req
31. Seems like a pointless crime.
Copy !req
32. Man, I wish I had robot legs...
Copy !req
33. or robot hands.
Copy !req
34. Robot hands would be cool.
Copy !req
35. With, like, a knife finger,
and a spoon finger
Copy !req
36. and a fork finger,
Copy !req
37. and a toothbrush finger,
Copy !req
38. and a comb finger,
and a bottle opener finger,
Copy !req
39. and a flashlight finger
Copy !req
40. and a screwdriver finger.
Copy !req
41. But regular thumbs.
Copy !req
42. You got to have regular thumbs.
Copy !req
43. True.
Copy !req
44. So you're gonna ask your father
to run for this mayor thing?
Copy !req
45. If he'll talk to me.
Copy !req
46. We don't exactly have
the best relationship.
Copy !req
47. That's me, baby Earl.
Copy !req
48. And that's my dad, Carl Hickey.
Copy !req
49. Typical dirty politicians.
Copy !req
50. It's corrupt all the way to the top...
Copy !req
51. Dagnab it, Kay.
Copy !req
52. Point his dingle
Copy !req
53. the other way!
Copy !req
54. He ruined my blueberry crumble.
Copy !req
55. My father was the kind of guy
Copy !req
56. that was always frustrated with the world.
Copy !req
57. And as I grew older, he became
more and more frustrated
Copy !req
58. with me as well.
Copy !req
59. Well, Earl, what are you doing up
Copy !req
60. so late, little fella?
Copy !req
61. Sorry, Rick, we're having him tested.
Copy !req
62. Whether it was getting
behind Ford, McGovern,
Copy !req
63. Carter, or the metric system,
on the losing side of things.
Copy !req
64. Hell, even in his own castle,
he wasn't king.
Copy !req
65. His own sons
Copy !req
66. gave him less respect than the world did.
Copy !req
67. Carl, get up!
Copy !req
68. The Goldbergs are here for dinner!
Copy !req
69. As I grew older,
my pranks got the attention
Copy !req
70. of the authorities.
Copy !req
71. Police! Freeze!
Copy !req
72. It ate my card.
Copy !req
73. But, as frustrated as he was with us,
Copy !req
74. Dad came to bail us out.
Copy !req
75. Of course, bailing us out just
gave us another opportunity
Copy !req
76. to get into more trouble.
Copy !req
77. Drop it, or I'll
shoot you in the face!
Copy !req
78. Uh, I locked my keys in my car.
Copy !req
79. But, as frustrated as he was,
Dad bailed us out again.
Copy !req
80. And again.
Copy !req
81. And again.
Copy !req
82. But, eventually, Dad gave up on us.
Copy !req
83. Looks like you're in for the night.
Copy !req
84. Was it my fault we got caught?
Copy !req
85. Of course, it was your fault!
Copy !req
86. I was halfway down the block
with the basket of money,
Copy !req
87. and you tripped over your damn dress.
Copy !req
88. I told you to go as a priest, but no,
Copy !req
89. you thought it would be funny
to dress as a nun.
Copy !req
90. If you had just listened to me
Copy !req
91. instead of worrying so much
about trying to ma...
Copy !req
92. It's funny, isn't it?
Copy !req
93. Is it funny?
Copy !req
94. Yeah, it's funny.
Copy !req
95. I told you.
Copy !req
96. It's because I'm a man,
Copy !req
97. but I'm dressed like a woman.
Copy !req
98. I did a lot of things
to disappoint my Dad,
Copy !req
99. but it was something I did
Copy !req
100. four years ago that hurt him the most.
Copy !req
101. If you are like me,
you are always asking yourself,
Copy !req
102. "How can our children learn to putt
Copy !req
103. when DC-10s strafe the fairway?"
Copy !req
104. Let's send those planes
away from our fairways,
Copy !req
105. away from the nearby homes
Copy !req
106. and over this blank spot here.
Copy !req
107. Vote Marty Park for mayor.
Copy !req
108. Golf scores come down...
Copy !req
109. Home values go up!
Copy !req
110. for Mayor.y Marty Park
Copy !req
111. The blank spot is us!
Copy !req
112. He's got planes
flying over the blank spot, Kay!
Copy !req
113. The blank spot is us!
Copy !req
114. My father was mad as hell.
Copy !req
115. And, for the first time in his life,
Copy !req
116. he wasn't going to leave it up
to the politicians
Copy !req
117. to change the world.
Copy !req
118. He was gonna change it himself.
Copy !req
119. All right, Carl!
He decided to run for mayor.
Copy !req
120. Back when I was married to Joy,
Copy !req
121. she often filled the role
of designated driver.
Copy !req
122. Of course, that didn't mean
we stayed out of trouble.
Copy !req
123. What kind of idiot
throws a beer can at a cop car?
Copy !req
124. Ma'am, I need you to get
back in your vehicle.
Copy !req
125. If I lose my license
Copy !req
126. because of you, I swear to God, Earl!
Copy !req
127. I need you to get back in your vehicle.
Copy !req
128. I don't want to use my taser.
Copy !req
129. Oh, please, put your little ray gun away.
Copy !req
130. Shoot her. No, no, don't shoot her.
Copy !req
131. Shoot her!
Copy !req
132. Get back in your vehicle, miss.
Copy !req
133. I will tase you.
Copy !req
134. I wish you would tase me.
Copy !req
135. I'll sue your ass
Copy !req
136. so fast you...
Copy !req
137. For years, Carl Hickey's son
has been a menace
Copy !req
138. to the good people of Camden County.
Copy !req
139. And now he's assaulting the police.
Copy !req
140. How can Carl Hickey
Copy !req
141. raise our standard of living,
Copy !req
142. when he can't even raise his own son?
Copy !req
143. Paid for by Marty Park for Mayor.
Copy !req
144. It was my dad's one chance in life
Copy !req
145. to make a difference in the
world, and... I ruined it.
Copy !req
146. He's not gonna be able to sleep tonight.
Copy !req
147. I'm gonna have to crush up
a little sleep aid
Copy !req
148. in his pudding snack.
Copy !req
149. He lost in a landslide.
Copy !req
150. Not only did I take away
his chance of winning,
Copy !req
151. I took away his will to fight.
Copy !req
152. I wasn't excited
about going to see my folks.
Copy !req
153. I tried to get Randy to go with
me, but just talking about it
Copy !req
154. made him nervous.
Copy !req
155. So, after a few days,
I decided to brave it alone.
Copy !req
156. and then I said...
Copy !req
157. Doris, I'm gonna call you back later.
Copy !req
158. Hey, Mom.
Copy !req
159. You need money, son? Is that it?
Copy !req
160. No, I just want to...
Kay, who is it?
Copy !req
161. Uh, just some Mormons, Carl!
Copy !req
162. Look, he's down
Copy !req
163. on the Mormons, so you better scoot.
Copy !req
164. I'll put $20 under the lawn goose.
Copy !req
165. No, I don't need money, Mom, I...
Copy !req
166. For the last time, boys,
Copy !req
167. we already have a Lord!
Copy !req
168. Dad, wait.
Copy !req
169. Look, I've changed. We need to talk.
Copy !req
170. Okay, we're starting supper.
Copy !req
171. I'll leave $30 under the
goose and some Powerbars.
Copy !req
172. Look, I made a list
of all the bad things I did,
Copy !req
173. and I'm making up for them.
Copy !req
174. Ruining your election is #4.
Copy !req
175. What election?
Copy !req
176. To be mayor.
Copy !req
177. Idiot, that was four years ago!
Copy !req
178. Why in purple heck would I want
anything to do...
Copy !req
179. with politics now?
Copy !req
180. I should have sold your worthless behind
Copy !req
181. to the traveling circus!
Copy !req
182. But you could win. I'll help.
Copy !req
183. You'll see I've changed.
Copy !req
184. Dad?
Copy !req
185. So this is it?
Copy !req
186. You never want to see your sons again?
Copy !req
187. You've just completely
written me and Randy
Copy !req
188. right out of your life?
Copy !req
189. Randy?
Copy !req
190. No.
Copy !req
191. What's he doing here?
Copy !req
192. He's here every Sunday.
Copy !req
193. He told me he was in a regular poker game.
He is.
Copy !req
194. We play for those little marshmallows.
Copy !req
195. Then when we're done, we divide them up,
Copy !req
196. and we put them in our cocoa.
Copy !req
197. That way everybody wins.
Copy !req
198. How come you hate me,
Copy !req
199. but you'll gamble
for marshmallows with Randy?
Copy !req
200. Well, there's a difference
between you two.
Copy !req
201. See, one of you is bad,
and one of you is simple.
Copy !req
202. Earl, you're bad.
Copy !req
203. What am I?
Copy !req
204. Randy!
Copy !req
205. No. Kay!
Copy !req
206. Um, check under the goose in 20 minutes.
Copy !req
207. No, Mom, I don't need any money.
Copy !req
208. I'm sure your parents
Copy !req
209. will forgive you eventually.
Copy !req
210. Your mom is sweet
Copy !req
211. and Carl...
Copy !req
212. has a very good heart.
Copy !req
213. Have you been there, too?
Copy !req
214. No.
Copy !req
215. Are you mad at me?
Copy !req
216. I'm fine.
Copy !req
217. Are you sure?
Copy !req
218. Just come in. I'm not mad at you.
Copy !req
219. What are you doing?
Copy !req
220. I'm entering Dad in the election,
Copy !req
221. whether he says he wants me to or not.
Copy !req
222. So you can cross him off your list?
Copy !req
223. It's about more than the list, Randy.
Copy !req
224. I want him to see I've changed.
Copy !req
225. I want us to be a family again.
Copy !req
226. That would be cool.
Copy !req
227. Plus, if Dad was mayor,
Copy !req
228. we'd get to wear top hats and sashes,
Copy !req
229. and judge beauty contests.
Copy !req
230. That's Monopoly, Randy.
Copy !req
231. No, that's not Monopoly.
Copy !req
232. Welcome to the candidates' debate
Copy !req
233. for Camden city mayor!
Copy !req
234. Hi, I'm Ronda Gibbs.
Copy !req
235. In this live broadcast...
Copy !req
236. incumbent Marty Park will be
debating challenger Carl Hickey.
Copy !req
237. What the heck?
Copy !req
238. Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
239. Put a tape in. You're gonna be on TV.
Copy !req
240. I'm not running for mayor.
How the heck do they think
Copy !req
241. I'm gonna debate if
I'm sitting right here?
Copy !req
242. Filling in for Carl Hickey
Copy !req
243. will be his son, Earl Hickey.
Copy !req
244. No, no, no, no, no.
Copy !req
245. My father is feeling
a little under the weather.
Copy !req
246. No, don't embarrass me.
Copy !req
247. Don't embarrass me.
Copy !req
248. Nothing serious, I hope.
Copy !req
249. Uh... diarrhea.
Copy !req
250. I'm gonna get you a little ginger ale.
Copy !req
251. That always helps your tummy.
Copy !req
252. And my administration's
careful budget reallocation
Copy !req
253. targeting our
transportation infrastructure
Copy !req
254. has already made
Camden's streets and bridges
Copy !req
255. the envy of this great state.
Copy !req
256. Mr. Hickey, your views on
transportation infrastructure?
Copy !req
257. One time, my dad made
his own driveway sealer
Copy !req
258. out of maple syrup and ground-up glass.
Copy !req
259. Randy tried it on pancakes.
Copy !req
260. That's another story.
Copy !req
261. But, if you've got a minute, I'd like...
Copy !req
262. Would you get off stage,
Copy !req
263. you idiot?
Copy !req
264. Are you talking to me or him?
Copy !req
265. I'm talking to you, Earl!
Copy !req
266. You're embarrassing us all!
Copy !req
267. Your mo.. Hey! Hey!
Copy !req
268. That's enough of that!
Copy !req
269. Stop it.
Copy !req
270. Stop! Stop it!
Copy !req
271. I told Carl those pants
make his legs look stubby.
Copy !req
272. Okay, fine.
Copy !req
273. Put this on TV.
Copy !req
274. Don't vote for me.
Copy !req
275. I don't want to be mayor!
Copy !req
276. I ran four years ago to stop
the jet planes from flying over,
Copy !req
277. but until he brought it up,
Copy !req
278. I hadn't thought about
the planes for ages.
Copy !req
279. I've gotten used to them!
Copy !req
280. Everybody's gotten used to them.
Copy !req
281. It's fine!
Copy !req
282. He was right: people had
gotten used to them.
Copy !req
283. Until now.
Copy !req
284. Did you hear that, Doris?
Copy !req
285. Hold on.
Copy !req
286. Once Dad mentioned the jet noise on TV,
Copy !req
287. people started to notice again.
Copy !req
288. A lot of people.
Copy !req
289. All of a sudden,
Copy !req
290. people started to notice
Copy !req
291. the noise they had gotten used to.
Copy !req
292. I'm going to kick somebody's ass!
Copy !req
293. My dad's words had reminded people
Copy !req
294. of how much they hated the airplanes.
Copy !req
295. So many people called my dad the next day,
Copy !req
296. that he decided to enter the election.
Copy !req
297. Thanks to me, he was once again
Copy !req
298. fighting for what he believed in.
Copy !req
299. I'm Carl Hickey,
Copy !req
300. and I need your vote.
Copy !req
301. But I shouldn't have to shout
over airplanes to get it!
Copy !req
302. Yeah!
Copy !req
303. Thank you.
Copy !req
304. Now, don't misunderstand the cookie.
Copy !req
305. We like air travel.
Copy !req
306. We just don't want planes
flying over our heads.
Copy !req
307. It's all on the back of the cookie.
Copy !req
308. Good morning.
Copy !req
309. Vote Hickey!
Copy !req
310. All right, way to go, Dad!
Copy !req
311. We're going to win this thing!
Copy !req
312. No, you get the heck out of here.
Copy !req
313. What? Why?
Copy !req
314. I-I'm the reason you're running again.
Copy !req
315. I want to help.
Copy !req
316. I'm running because
the people asked me to,
Copy !req
317. not because of your foolish behind.
Copy !req
318. Scram.
Copy !req
319. Dad, it's on my list. I need to help.
Copy !req
320. What list?
Copy !req
321. Dad, the photographer
from the newspaper's here.
Copy !req
322. We've got to hurry; a chicken truck
Copy !req
323. tipped over on the interstate.
Copy !req
324. Put some more spit on my cowlick
Copy !req
325. so I look more mayor-like.
Copy !req
326. "Mayoral."
Copy !req
327. Kay, please.
Copy !req
328. That's three corrections today!
Copy !req
329. You're doing interviews.
Copy !req
330. No, but this is not your time to shine.
Copy !req
331. This is my time to shine.
Copy !req
332. I know you're very sensitive.
Copy !req
333. This is my time to shine.
Copy !req
334. Dad, Dad, look. What?
Copy !req
335. I've changed, all right?
Copy !req
336. Just let me stay.
Copy !req
337. I won't embarrass you.
Copy !req
338. What do you think you're doing right now?
Copy !req
339. MAN:
Keep up the good work!
Copy !req
340. Here you go, fella!
Copy !req
341. I always like to help the homeless!
Copy !req
342. Don't spend it on booze!
Copy !req
343. Dad?
Copy !req
344. Move along, hobo!
Copy !req
345. Unfortunately, things were still bad
Copy !req
346. between my dad and I,
Copy !req
347. and they were about to get worse.
Copy !req
348. Dad's going to lose.
Copy !req
349. What?
Copy !req
350. "Poll shows Carl Hickey
is down by 2,000 votes
Copy !req
351. among all registered voters."
Copy !req
352. See, he's going to lose again
Copy !req
353. and blame me for getting him into it.
Copy !req
354. What are "registered voters"?
Copy !req
355. People who sign up to vote, I guess.
Copy !req
356. Maybe you and me should sign up.
Copy !req
357. He's down by more than two votes, Randy.
Copy !req
358. Can I register to vote?
Copy !req
359. He's down by more than
three votes, Catalina.
Copy !req
360. Wait a second.
Copy !req
361. And then it hit me:
Copy !req
362. there must be a ton of people
who could vote for my dad,
Copy !req
363. but just aren't registered.
Copy !req
364. A whole untapped market
of uncaring, unregistered,
Copy !req
365. and even unconscious voters out there.
Copy !req
366. And I, Earl Hickey, could reach them.
Copy !req
367. Poor people.
Copy !req
368. Uneducated people.
Copy !req
369. Undesirable people.
Copy !req
370. People like me.
Copy !req
371. After almost no training,
Copy !req
372. I became an official voter registrar.
Copy !req
373. Registering new voters was fun.
Copy !req
374. Jasmine? Savannah?
Copy !req
375. I'd like to talk to you
about another kind of "poll."
Copy !req
376. Felony or misdemeanor?
Copy !req
377. Misdemeanor.
Copy !req
378. Great.
Copy !req
379. Can we talk?
Copy !req
380. If you register to vote,
you'll finally have a voice.
Copy !req
381. Sign me up.
Copy !req
382. Fine, I'll sign up to vote
Copy !req
383. if you take me to pick up the Subaru.
Copy !req
384. Squirrels moved in and chewed up
the wires again.
Copy !req
385. No problem.
Copy !req
386. All right.
Copy !req
387. Come on, Darnell. You can sign up, too.
Copy !req
388. I'm already registered to vote.
Copy !req
389. What?
Copy !req
390. Not that it matters.
Copy !req
391. Because until we reform
the Electoral College,
Copy !req
392. the popular votes will be ignored
Copy !req
393. and we'll keep electing presidents
Copy !req
394. that only get a minority of the vote.
Copy !req
395. That must be some black stuff.
Copy !req
396. I don't know what he's talking about.
Copy !req
397. Hey, how many of these things
Copy !req
398. did you fill out?
Copy !req
399. Hopefully enough for my dad
to win the election.
Copy !req
400. Hey, Randy?
Copy !req
401. Take these, will you?
Copy !req
402. Hold on to those, Randy!
Copy !req
403. Sir?
Copy !req
404. I need you to get back in your vehicle.
Copy !req
405. No, no, I have to pick up
these sign-up slips.
Copy !req
406. My dad's running for... I need you to get
Copy !req
407. back in your vehicle, now!
Copy !req
408. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
409. How can Carl Hickey
raise our standard of living
Copy !req
410. when he can't even raise his own son?
Copy !req
411. Paid for by Marty Park for Mayor.
Copy !req
412. Once again, thanks to me,
Dad lost in a landslide.
Copy !req
413. I crushed some allergy medicine
in his lemonade,
Copy !req
414. but he's still all fired up.
Copy !req
415. Oh, I'm sorry!
Copy !req
416. I forgot who I was calling.
Copy !req
417. We'll take a large pepperoni,
Copy !req
418. and throw in some garlic knots.
Copy !req
419. That might cheer him up.
Copy !req
420. Oh...
Copy !req
421. Dad?
Copy !req
422. Randy had all the papers
in the back of the El Camino.
Copy !req
423. They just blew out everywhere.
Copy !req
424. It's not my fault.
Copy !req
425. And I was just trying to pick them all up,
Copy !req
426. so you could win the election.
Copy !req
427. If you'll just sit down
with me and look at my list,
Copy !req
428. see what I've done so far.
Copy !req
429. Please?
Copy !req
430. Dad, I'm trying to be a good person.
Copy !req
431. I know I've messed up in the past,
Copy !req
432. but I've changed, I promise!
Copy !req
433. I expect you to pay me
back that bail money.
Copy !req
434. He bailed me out.
Copy !req
435. What?
Copy !req
436. He hasn't bailed me out in over six years.
Copy !req
437. He's coming around, Randy.
Copy !req
438. He's coming around.
Copy !req
439. I was foolish to think I could
win back my father's respect
Copy !req
440. by simply winning him the election.
Copy !req
441. I've spent my whole life
causing him nothing but grief,
Copy !req
442. and it's gonna take some time
Copy !req
443. before he believes
that I've really changed.
Copy !req
444. I just have to keep doing what
I'm doing and, maybe one day,
Copy !req
445. I cross enough things off my
list, Dad will be proud of me.
Copy !req
446. You know, I ran into John
Sheppard down the street.
Copy !req
447. He said Earl came by
Copy !req
448. and paid for a window
he broke 15 years ago.
Copy !req
449. Really?
Copy !req
450. Yep.
Copy !req
451. I got it.
Copy !req
452. Hey, Earl.
Copy !req
453. Yeah, Randy?
Copy !req
454. If you could be any kind of
animal in the whole world,
Copy !req
455. what animal would you be?
Copy !req
456. A dog. I think I'd be a dog.
Copy !req
457. How come?
Copy !req
458. 'Cause I like living inside
and sitting on couches.
Copy !req
459. Most people let their dogs
live inside and sit on couches.
Copy !req
460. How 'bout a cat?
Copy !req
461. People let their cats
live inside and sit on couches.
Copy !req
462. I'm allergic to cats.
Copy !req
463. I wouldn't want to go around
making myself sneeze.
Copy !req
464. Yeah.
Copy !req
465. Why? What kind of animal would you be
Copy !req
466. if you could be any animal
in the whole world?
Copy !req
467. I was gonna say monkey,
Copy !req
468. but you make a good point about the couch.
Copy !req
469. Good night.
Copy !req
470. Good night.
