02x13 - A Short Story and a Tall Tale

Post by bunniefuu »

Whoa!
What's going on here?

Oh, hey, Rallo.

We're just going to watch
a tiger fight a Komodo dragon.

Roberta, light the ring!

All right!

But why is this happening
in our living room?

We do stuff like this
every night

after you go to sleep.

Wait a minute, what time is it?

8:12?!
It's past your bedtime.

Who wants a sno cone?

Rallo, why are you still awake?!
You get up to bed right now.

But I wanna watch...
Baby, you're little,

and you need sleep.

I'm tired of being treated

like I'm a second-class citizen
because I'm little!

Drinking out of sippy cups,

painting with my fingers,

Cleveland putting me in a cage

when you're not around...

Not a cage. It's a crate.

Rallo, the reason
little people have no rights

is because your brains
are small,

so you're not very smart yet.

Do we at least
have time for a story?

Fine...

The Giving Tree
by Shel Silverstein.

Release the beasts!

Ooh!

There was a needy man,
and a h*m* tree

that never had the guts
to make its move.

The end.

Aw, man...

Look!
The dragon's sprouting wings!

So's the tiger!

Hop on, Junior,

we're flying
to the moon!

You wanted to see me?

Please, Cleveland,

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Cleveland, you're black,
aren't you?

Yes, uh-huh...

Well, I don't want
to sound r*cist,

but the company got two
court-side tickets

to the NBA All-Star Game
in Los Angeles

and I'd like to
give them to you.

Is there saddamy involved?

No...

I just thought
someone of your hue

would enjoy watching
some basketball.

Well, hue've
got that right!

Thanks, you

Flawrence, send in Jose.

I want to give him a Datsun
pickup truck

filled with alley furniture.

Hop up.
No way!

I'm not getting in here.

I'm a growing-ass man!

Come on. Just get in the cart.
You get in the cart.

These people don't know me.
Can't, 'cause you're too fat.

I will hit you. Get in!
Stranger danger! AMBER Alert!

Child abuse!
Fine.

I'm gonna do
my own shopping.

Get some name brands.

How bad you want it?

Tough guy, huh?

Keep it.
Typical!

They only got one
small cart left.

Why?
Because nobody

gives a crap
about us little people.

I hear you, man.

Just take mine.
I don't got no money, anyway.

Thanks, slick.
The name's Marty.

Marty Barty.

Montclair Tubbs.

But everybody calls me Rallo.

Walk with me, Rallo.

You're allowed to drink?

Of course.
Why wouldn't I be?

'Cause you're little.

sh**t, my old lady
won't let me do anything.

What a disgrace!

No one should tell
one of us guys

what we can or can't do.

Okay Marty,
I got the menthols,

pudding, and condoms.

Let's go.

Damn, Marty,
you got it going on!

You can too, Rallo.

Call me sometime.

There you are!

How many times have I told you
not to go wandering off?!

You're not the boss of me!

The hell I'm not!

Don't you make me spill my wine.

I wonder if I can smoke in here.

Ugh!
Nightgown?

Like I'm sleeping
with Gargamel.

What are you doing?

Not you, Dumbledore.

Check this out!

Got a little
competition going.

I had each of the guys
make a video

about why I should pick them
to come with me

to the NBA All-Star Game.

Why should you take me
to the NBA All-Star Game?

Because some white men can jump!

And now...

from Stoolbend Junior College,

at 5' 3 1/2",

Hol...

Screw this. Next!

Hey, Cleveland.

You should take me to the game.

But don't take it from me.

Take it from number one
Laker fan, Jack Nicholson.

You can't handle, uh, the truth!

Here's... Johnny!

I'm an aging icon who,

at this point,
is more tolerated than admired.

Hold up!

You got two free tickets

to the All-Star Game
in Los Angeles?!

I've decided on my own
to take Donna.

Aw, Cleveland,

you're worse than one of Ben
Franklin's non-famous sayings.

If you put your penis on
something, it's yours.

No one else can eat it.

Go on, write it down.

And because he was a rat,
he's sleeping with the fishes.

"Rat sleeping
with the fishes."

That's crazy. Ain't got
no cheese underwater.

So what do you wanna do?

You ever play the ponies?

I used to play the ponies.

I'm more into dinosaurs now.

You're a real screwball,
you know that, Rallo?

You wanna drive?

I didn't think people like us
could drive.

Rallo, people like us...
can do anything we want.

Here, you drive.

All right!

Yeah!

Whoo!

All right! All right, Rallo!

Rallo's driving?

That's just crazy.

Arise, Cameron!

You guys are going to
Hollywood?!

Can I...?
No.

I made you this locket,
so you don't forget me.

When you close it,
our faces touch.

And kiss each
other on the cheek.

I'll write you every day.

Junior, we're back
the day after tomorrow.

Reminds me of you
at that age.

When are you coming back?

What day is it?
Tuesday.

Never.

Go, six! Go, six! Go!
Go! Go! Come on, six!

Do it, six!
Daddy needs

a new pair of Crocs!
Poop on the track, six!

Should we go back and check on

His sign said
he was in Vietnam.

I'm pretty sure he can handle it.

Oh, man. For a little person,
you sure live large.

I still live with my mother.

You know what?

You and your mom
sound way too close.

You need another lady

How's about you go on a date

What's she look like?

You'd be doing me

I'll pay for it.

Marty usually hangs out

Anybody else tired of always
having to dribble the ball

whenever you want to move?

Man, I hate
dribbling.

And it can't be good
for the floor.

Shaq's right.
Hey, if we all get together

and say we're not gonna dribble
anymore, what are they gonna do?

And why can't we
play in the morning,

and then just get on
with our day?

I have a garden.

Flowers, tomatoes,
nectarines...

I like dribbling.

I love NBA games!

It's the only place where you
can get drunk on light beer

and yell at millionaire giants.

Watch.

What is this "dork"?

Hey, Kevin Garnett!

Smooth move going straight

Good luck getting

Oh, no!

You do not talk

Well, your son is sh**ting
three for 15.

What percentage is that, Kevin?!

He doesn't know,
'cause he didn't go to college!

Do you know
what percentage that is?!

I was a ceramics major.

Sit down and keep

Hey, Mom!

Why is Stanley from The Office

I hate this show now.

Hi, Rallo.

How was your little date
at Cheese E. Charlie's?

You have fun
with your girlfriend?

Yeah. We're getting married.

Don't.

Oh, that is the cutest thing
I've ever heard.

You are quite
the little gentleman!

Well, she kept saying all her
friends are getting married,

something about
her eggs drying up.

Plus, she's got pretty big boobs
for a five-year-old,

so I said, "Whatever,
I'll marry you tomorrow."

What's her ass like?

It's important!

You're all terrible!

Ever hear of something called
"defense"?

Cleveland Brown
representin' the 555!

Stoolbend, Virginia, y'all!
I'm out!

The 555, y'all!

I know we won,
but it's hard to enjoy it

after that guy called me
"Steve Trash."

He called me
"Dwight Coward."

I know because I thought
he said my name,

but when I waved to him--

as I do whenever anyone says
my name--

he enunciated it more clearly,

and this time I realized
I'd been insulted.

You know what?

I'm gonna banish that guy
to Jerk Island.

Jerk Island?
What's that?

It's just a place
in my mind

where I send
unkind people.

Don't you understand,
LeBron?

He insulted my mother.

Before I was a seven-foot
millionaire NBA star,

I was just a scared
six-foot-tall first-grader

who could barely dunk.

But that didn't matter to Mom.

She believed in me.

I just wish
I could get through

one All-Star Game
without crying.

Come on, now, LeBron.

We wouldn't be All-Stars

if we couldn't access
our emotions.

Come here, give me a hug.

We're going to Virginia.

We're gonna set Cleveland
Brown straight.

Hey, let's hope the refs
don't call us for traveling.

Oh, my God, Shaq!

Traveling!

"Traveling," he says!

What's up, Rallo?
What you doing today?

What's up, Bernard?
What's it look like?

I'm getting married.

Married?!

Is she black?

No.

All right!
Of course.

Well, that's too bad
you're busy,

'cause we just found ourselves
a breast augmentation pamphlet.

We thought we'd drive our
Matchboxes over some boobs.

Well, why didn't
you say so?

Come in, gentlemen.
