(phone ringing)

That ringtone is played out.

Why can't land lines have funky ringtones?

I kind of like the ring.

(phone ringing)

(imitates): Ring...

It's classic.

Bob's Burgers. Yes, this is Bob.

Hey, Warren Fitzgerald?

How's it going? Long time no talk!

Warren Fitzgerald?

Dad's childhood friend who got rich?

Uh, Dad's childhood friend who got super rich.

He's actually real?

I thought that was Dad's alter ego, like in Fight Club.

Kids, shush. Uh, what were you saying?

Oh, Warren Fitzgerald is real.

He's, like, ten feet tall, or maybe I was just really young when I met him.

No, he might be that tall.

He can afford extra leg.

And all the toes he wants!

Great, talk to you soon.

So, how's the richest man you know?

Wait, are you the poorest man he knows?

Probably. But he's great.

And he's gonna be in town, and he wants to come stay with us this weekend.

Is that okay?

Of course. He's your only friend. I mean, your oldest friend.

Good, because I kind of already told him he could.

This is gonna be fun.

Dad, you are positively giddy.

Yeah, you're glowing. Are you pregnant?

It's just that, you know, Warren was, like, the guy in high school.

He was... he was, like, the leader of our little group.

Oh, that must have been a tough job to get.

Was he the Fonz?

He made the Fonz look like Potsie. ‭Whoa.

That's great. But he wants to stay with us?

Why not stay at a nice hotel?

Or buy a nice hotel?

‭Yeah.

I, you know, I think he really wants to reconnect.

And... and get to know you guys, right?

Get the full Belcher experience.

Ew.

‭Right, we are disgusting.

So let's not make Warren sleep on the couch.

I need one of you kids to give up your room.

Not it! ‭Not it! ‭Ah! Darn.

That's how you guys settle things? "Not it"?

Yeah.

You want to get involved, help us sort stuff out?

No, you're good.

Yeah.

‭Mm...

You sure you don't want to sleep in my room, Gene?

Uh, this window by the street will be a little quieter than your room.

I guess I've been talking in my sleep a little lately.

More like yelling.

It's like a poetry slam in there.

Mm... I can make this work.

I hereby declare this nook New Geneland!

Our primary export is natural gas!

And Fiats.

(doorbell rings)

Oh, Warren's here.

Hey, we should dump a cup of water out the window on him.

We used to do that to each other all the time.

On it! (panting)

So that's life before the Internet, huh?

What the... My watch!

It's ruined!

Oh, no!

My grandfather gave me this watch!

Uh-oh. ‭Oh, crap! I'm sorry!

Oh, my God. Sorry!

(laughing): Bob! Gotcha!

I don't even have a watch.

Or a grandfather.

(laughing)

So now that I've sold my company, I'm just taking some time to reconnect with friends and family.

And you guys are like friends and family.

So... k*ll two birds with one stone.

Not that I'm trying to k*ll you.

Oh, phew.

Warren, a man of your means is gonna need some executive protection.

I can offer my services starting at five percent of your net worth.

'Kay, show me what you got.

Well, I can do this move.

It's called "Give the rich guy some space!"

(strained): But I want to touch the rich guy!

You got skills, Louise, but I had all of my blood and organs replaced with steel... a lot of rich people are doing it now... so I'm immortal and I can't be hurt, so I don't need security.

Of course.

Warren, did you have dinner?

Uh, I had a salad, so... no.

Well, you want to go downstairs and I can whip up a couple burgers?

Yeah, I do.

I finally get to try one of those famous burgers.

And later, Dad can give you one of his famous backrubs!

♪ ♪

Man, this is a great burger.

I mean, I was ready to like it...

I had a fake compliment locked and loaded... but I really love it.

‭Thanks.

What was the fake compliment you had?

"Man, this is a great burger!"

That's what you said.

Yeah, but I meant it.

(phone rings)

Oh, hold on. Hello?

Are you and Warren gonna come up and say good night or are we just going to do it over the phone, like animals?

Good night, Gene.

Good night, Father.

Now put Warren on, please.

He deserves to be good night-ed.

My son wants to say good night.

Oh! Good night, Gene.

Good night, Warren.

(whispers): Can you bring up some fries?

Is he asking you to bring him fries?

No...

(whispers): He's onto us, I gotta go.

Go to bed, Gene.

I'm in bed, I'm just hungry!

So, this place must do pretty well, huh?

Yeah, I mean, pretty well.

Business is up and down, you know.

Okay, mostly downs. Never really an up.

That doesn't make sense to me, Bob.

I mean, that was the best burger I've ever had and I've had a burger in Japan that cost $1,700.

What? H-How was it $1,700?

Well, they put all sorts of fancy stuff on it... foie gras, an edible gold leaf.

You get to eat it inside a hologram.

You are really rich.

I am. And I'll tell you something: I want to invest in you.

What? This place has untapped potential.

I mean, it's crazy that it hasn't taken off yet.

You love what you do, and you have an amazing product.

I want to tap that potential.

I want to tap that!

I don't think you mean to say it like that.

Oh, yes, I do!

‭I... (laughs)

Okay, so, invest in me?

What are we talking about, here?

Well, for starters, I write you a check for a $100,000.

(coughing)

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

Are you... crying?

(falsetto): No. No. No.

Is your voice getting higher?

‭(falsetto): Yep!

Okay, anyway, we can talk about all sorts of things... branding, marketing, some sizzle.

Throw out some ideas.

You know, just business-partner stuff.

For you to take or leave.

Okay, yes!

I didn't really hear anything you said after "write you a check for $100,000," but yes!

Great!

‭I can't believe this!

(phone rings) ‭Hello?

Gene (deep voice): Hello, this is the fire department.

There's a ketchup fire upstairs and we need all the fries you got!

$100,000.

$100,000!

I mean, how much is that?

Show me the check again. Show me, show me, show me, show me.

I want to kiss it! Come here!

Mwah, mwah, mwah.

Can I see it?

Wow, I never knew checks could have commas.

I even put an exclamation point in there.

I'm as excited as you guys are!

Okay, everybody stop touching the check.

I'm going to take it to the bank right now.

I bet he's gonna drop it in the gutter.

Don't drop it in the gutter, Bobby!

Don't you drop it!

Tape it to your chest!

Bob: I'm not going to drop it.

Oh, crap.

Never mind, I got it!

Where are your pants, Gene?

I just came from New Geneland, where you don't need pants.

Well, this is Linda-braska, so put 'em on.

So, New Geneland's pretty great, huh?

"Pretty great." It's amazing!

I got the TV right there, and the pee plant is just a few steps away.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You watched TV after we went to bed?

No fair.

Yes, and if last night is any indication, we are living in the golden age of late-night talk shows.

Did you say "pee plant"?

And you are welcome to use it, sir.

Oh, thanks, but I'm-I'm covered.

I've got a pee shoe in your closet.

Oh, right.

My rain boots.

I was kidding.

Do you really pee in your rain boots?

No...

♪ ♪

I would like to make a deposit, please.

Oh, Bob. Has it gotten this bad?

What? What-what do you mean?

Nothing. Just a moment, I have to make a quick phone call.

Are you having your security guard stand over me?

No, no, no, no, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Hello, Mr. Warren Fitzgerald?

Yes, I'm the manager at the First Oceanside Savings Bank, and I have a Bob Belcher here trying to deposit a check with your name on it for $100,000.

Oh, wow. Thank you for alerting me to this.

I have no idea who that...

What did... what did you say his name is? Bob Belcher?

Yeah, I-I have no idea who he is.

So it is fraud.

Wait, wh-what?

He's saying you committed fraud.

I-I didn't, that's my friend.

W-what... wait...

‭Thank you for confirming this, and we'll have the proper authorities...

Oh, wait, wait.

Bob Belcher. Yes, yes, yes.

I thought you said Boab Belcher.

It just sounded weird when you said it.

I did write him that check.

You did.

‭Warren: Mm-hmm.

And it wasn't a terrible mistake you made by accident?

No. ‭Or a lapse in judgment.

Nope.

‭Serious head injury?

(chuckles) No.

Are you sure?

I'm quite sure.

Okay, then, very well.

Ha!

‭What, Bob?

Ha! Put that down in the comments section on my account.

Bob... says... "ha."

Good one, Warren. You got me.

That guy was so ready to have you arrested, Bob.

Yep, that's my banker.

That should be their slogan: "We're ready to have you arrested!"

What are you guys doing?

Uh, measuring the window for an awning.

I take it you've met, then.

Yup. I heard all about it from Linda.

Congrats, Bob.

I always knew you'd make it big time if one of your old friends ever made a bunch of money.

Thanks, Teddy.

I already made a list of repairs that we can get started on.

It's funny, it came out to exactly $100,000 worth of work.

(laughs) It adds up.

It adds up, Bobby.

All right, take it easy, Teddy.

‭Yeah.

(bell jingles)

I'm riding this one out as far as she'll go, Bob!

This is my big break, too!

Quit smudging!

An awning could be a good idea. ‭Sure.

But I'm surprised you went for the tiki thing.

(bell jingles)

The tiki thing?

Yeah. You didn't know?

It's gonna be a palm-frond awning.

We're gonna tiki-fy the place.

"Tiki-fy"?

Oh, you're pranking me.

I-I get it. Good one.

No, no, I'm serious, Bob.

It's business 101.

You need an entry point, a hook.

I-I figured we would use the money to maybe upgrade some equipment, or do some advertising, but...

This is advertising!

You lure people in with something flashy and fun, something that distinguishes you, and once they're in, you wow them with your product.

Makes sense to me.

Thank you, Teddy.

My entry point is my bangs.

Then I wow them with my winning personality.

You wow me with your breath.

‭Thank you.

Hey! I just realized it's called an awning because it's "on" the window.

Oh, yeah!

It's just, tiki, I mean... should we talk about this?

Hey, if you don't like it, we can do something else, but I think you're gonna like it.

It goes with the whole beach town thing.

You walk in here, see the tiki, and you say, "Yeah.

It makes sense. Perfect."

We do live by the beach.

I... I don't know.

Don't-don't worry, Bob.

The destination is still your burger, but the restaurant is the journey there.

Wow, I just got chills.

From me.

‭Okay...

Plus, I found a bunch of tiki stuff for sale at a place that went out of business in Bog Harbor.

But they went out of business so that doesn't seem like...

They didn't have your superior product, Bob.

Tell you what, I'll go check that stuff out and you keep Tik-ing about it.

See? All these fun jokes we can make?

Yup, that's... great.

(door opens, bell jingles)

I mean, we'll think of better ones, but you get the idea.

See you in a bit!

A theme? Lin, we already have a theme.

It's a restaurant.

Restaurant theme.

It'll probably be just a couple things to spruce up the place, you know?

Nothing crazy.

So, this is a lot of stuff.

Yeah, great stuff.

We got the tiki water pitchers, the tiki salt and pepper shakers.

Tiki straws for tiki spitballs.

(door opens, bell jingles) Ow.

Umbrellas for the drinks.

In case it rains, keep the ice dry.

Couple of tiki statues... ooh, scary!

Where do these guys go?

Wherever there's space... tables, countertops, everywhere!

What's this?

That's to wrap around the bottom of the counter.

Ooh, our counter's gonna look like a sexy hula dancer!

Should I start wearing a coconut bra?

No. ‭Yes.

Everybody's thinking it.

And here's the crown jewel of it all...

Pineapple: Aloha!

(gasps) You can talk!

(chuckles) It's on a motion detector.

You put it near the door, and when people walk by, it says, "Aloha."

I wanted that job.

Wow, I, uh, usually don't like sunglasses indoors, but that pineapple really pulls it off.

That is one cool fruit.

People are gonna go crazy for that pineapple.

Yeah. ‭What a time to be alive.

You're gonna love the giant volcano it sits on.

Will you give me a hand with it, Teddy?

Sure, sure.

Moving mountains.

This is what God must feel like.

(bell jingles) (hesitantly): Well, this is very exciting.

And now we don't need to go to Hawaii.

(laughs)

Pineapple: Aloha!

Aloha to you.

Hey, pineapple, if I'm supposed to marry a cute boy and live on a horse farm, say "aloha."

Pineapple: Aloha!

Yes.

And if you're kidding, say "aloha" again.

Pineapple: Aloha!

Damn.

Kids, enough. Leave the pineapple alone.

(Teddy and Warren grunting)

God, that is really giant.

Warren: Yeah, I got the biggest one.

So what do you think, partner?

Great. Really great.

(grunts)

And this is all just the tip of the iceberg.

I have two words for you, Bob: Mai-tai fries.

What?

They're like daiquiri fries but Mai tai.

It's the next big thing.

We'll talk about it later.

And here you go.

Aloha! ‭Aloha!

Aloha! ‭Aloha!

Eh, I will not get tired of this.

Nobody's gonna get tired of any of this stuff.

Pineapple: Aloha!

I'm freaky for tiki!

Pineapple: Aloha!

Bob: Oh, my God.

Back to the Future.

Mein Back.

Back to the Future II.

Men in Back II.

Guess Who's Back?

‭Yes!

Yes to which one?

Well, hers, 'cause it's a real movie, and it's the one I was thinking of.

Oh, that's how you play.

Our team wins.

‭And we lose.

Thanks for phoning it in, Dad.

Wow, that was great.

So this is what a real family does for fun, huh?

That was the first time we ever played charades.

We thought you wanted to do it.

Yeah, because you said, "Should we play charades now?"

Either way, good game, everyone, but I am b*at. I got to hit the sack.

Good night, Bob's wonderful family.

Louise: Sweet dreams.

Tina: Sleep tight.

Bob and Linda: Good night.

Adios.

So, Bob, you've been a little quiet tonight.

Is everything okay?

Okay? Everything's great.
