Hello?

Barry, my bud,
we just wanted to check-in

before our jet blasts off.

We're trusting you with
the house while we're gone,

- honey.
- Just use your best judgment.

I judge these canapes to be delicious.

And easy to say.

Canapes.

Easy on the tongue,
in two different ways.

Check it out! For our quiet night in,

I made "kuh-nap-plops"... dammit!

Barry, baby, "quiet night-in"?

"Kuhnapplops"?

What are you talking about?

We got your parents'
house to ourselves...

Your parents' party house.

And Steve and Toshi
leave tomorrow to pitch

their bowties for babies idea
on "Shark t*nk."

We gotta party.

It's true, Barry. We must party.

- This mini fridge is stocked with energy drinks.
- No way.

Those are my parents'
"freak fuels" for sex time.

- They're off limits.
- And...

your dad's hifi stereo
is begging to be played.

Absolutely off limits!

My dad loves his stereo
more than poonani!

His words!

Barry, nothing's off limits.

Nothing? But why?

Because you're Barry.

You're a pushover, dude.

It's like what we love most about you.

Steve, show Barry what I mean.

You guuuuys.

You can do it,
let me show you how to do it


You can do it,
let me show you how to do it


You can do it,

My dad's speakers!

Barry, chill, it's not that bad...

Nope, these are ruined forever.

Snot, I need you to run
damage control on this one.

"Shark t*nk Junior" has a strict
"no bad boys" policy,

so Tosh and I gotta distance ourselves

from this cluster[BLEEP].

Is that true, Toshi?

N-n-n-n-no,
Toshi doesn't really talk anymore.

Look, I searched Craigslist

Just text the guy.

And I'll need it if I'm

a standing backflip.

Since when have you wanted to flip?

Oh [BLEEP] you, Francine!

You know I've always
wanted to do a backflip!

Pfft, 'kay. Whatever. Do a flip.

A backflip.

Today it's stretching, flexibility,

and strength training.

So, which boy
is interested in my speakers?

That'd be me. Boy Barry.

Watch where you're walkin'.
I got speaker parts all over the place.

Last thing I need is one of you

Dammit, now I'm stepping on woofers.

I guess as long as you buy my speakers,
no harm no foul.

You are a serious buyer, aren't you?

Yes?

Well, here they are.

My JCL s.

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears

went into restoring these babies.

They look great.

Thank you.

Thank you for saying that.

Now for the demo.

Sit, sit.

So what did you bring to listen to?

Uh, I didn't bring anything.

In minutes.

Yeah.

[WHISPERS] Let's go.

When we get to Starbucks, just run in.

We only got minutes.

Pull the car over.

Barry, you're not buying
speakers from that lunatic

because I just found new in-box
JCL s cheaper on eBay.

- But I said I was a serious buyer.
- Who cares?

You're a pushover.
You're gonna do whatever you're told.

Oh, Wrobel's facetiming me.

Get your fat ass back

[ZIPPER UNZIPS]

♪♪

Hmm. Looks like somebody had a long,
nasty, dank-ass slip.

It was me, Doc.

Nasty as they come.

Do you mind? I'm talking to the slipper.

Says here an oddly-shaped piece of ice

was responsible for this incredible,
incredible slip.

Would you say it looked
something like this?

Yeah.

Except a little bit up on this side,

and a little bit down on that side.

Of course.
That would lead to infinite slip!

Not that I care,
it's just that would be very interesting

to someone who devoted their whole life

to the science of slipping.

Dr. Slippy? Get away from my patient!

No problem.

I think I got everything I needed.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Anyway.

Stan, I have horrible news.

You will never walk again.

- Oh, God...
- Do you mind?

Because of the nature of your fall,

you will only be able
to backflip from now on.

I'm so confused.

Why was Dr. Slippy here?

Oh, ugh, he's always
sniffing around the slip ward

looking for slippery things to patent.

But, Stan, did you hear me?

You'll never walk again.

Oh, God.

Is he gonna patent the ice shape?

- Is that worth money?
- Totally.

If he cracks the slip barrier,

then it would be worth billions.

I need to get to the patent office
before Dr. Slippy!

But you can't walk!

Then I'll backflip!

Yeah, I'm gonna stay here.

He didn't finish his pills.

Doctor, a truck full of banana peels

tipped over on the highway.

We've got slip
victims headed this way!

Call my wife.
