What the hell are you doing? The
immigration officer will be here any minute.

Oh, I was just using the bathroom.

Oh, my God. That's not
a toilet, you idiot.

Well, that's why
I couldn't flush it then.

Now, listen. We got to make it look like
we're really married...

- So let's get the story straight, all right?
- Okay.

- You are Anton.
- I'm Anton.

- And I am?
- You are, uh... [Snaps Fingers]

Damn, I'm not good
with names and faces.

Here. Let me see.
Turn around. Rita.

That's right, Rita. And we are happily
living here as man and wife.

Well, then, let's do the nasty, little girl
and "constipate" the marriage.

How many times I got to tell you?
Stay away from me. Your breath stink.

My breath stinks? [Exhales]
Damn, you're right.

Here, let me freshen it up
with a piece of gum.

- [Disgusted Sound]
- [Doorbell Rings]

That's her now.

Mrs. Jackson? I'm Miss Wilson from
the department of immigration.

- Yes, yes. Come right in.
- Thank you.

This, I assume, is Mr. Jackson?

- That's right. How you doin'?
It's a pleasure to meet you.
- Very well.

Oh. That's really not necessary.

I'm French.
That was a French kiss I just gave you.

- That's very nice.
- In case you wanna know.

Well, uh, Mr. And Mrs. Jackson,
as you know...

the reason that I'm here today
is because it has come to our attention...

that several people are getting married
just to get their green card.

Hey, I resent that remark.
I resent that totally.

- When we got married, it was
out of love and affection.
- Mm-hmm.

Ain't that right, uh, Rita?

Yes. Well, let's get started, shall we?

Now, first, why don't you tell me where
the two of you spent your honeymoon?

- Well, we started out on the Riviera...
- Mm-hmm.

But she kept sliding off the roof
of the car, so we ended up in traffic.

Actually, we spent a nice, romantic
honeymoon here at home.

Oh, well, that's very nice. And, uh,
Mrs. Jackson, have you met his parents?

No. They actually think I'm a bum.

Oh, do they?
Have you met her parents?

They think I'm a bum too.

But, he's not a bum. He's an actor.
Actually, a very talented performer.

Oh. Have I seen you in anything?

Possibly. Last week,
I performed in barefoot in the park.

- Oh, the play?
- No. Somebody stole my shoe.

But they left it. Yeah, I found it
in a pile of horse manure.

[Forced Laugh]

Well, you know, believe it or not, as
a young woman, I was a bit of a thespian.

I thought you was
looking at my wife kinda funny.

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.

I'm sorry, he's just a little
overly protective, you know?

Yes. Well, just a few more questions here.

Now, Mrs. Jackson, what was
the last movie your husband saw, please?

Uh, I think it was a love story.

That's right. I saw this love story
for cents down at the p*rn house.

And guess who... Pee-wee Herman
sat right next to me.

Mrs. Jackson, I really must ask you
what exactly about this man attracts you?

Well, uh, his sense of humor,
you know, and he's very sensitive.

Actually, he's just
a very warm person inside.

- Oh, God.
- Oh, I'm sorry. Some of my inside must've got out.

Get out. That's it.
I can't take you anymore.

- What, baby doll? What's the matter?
- You idiot! You imbecile.

Imbecile? We need to talk to
Dr. Ruth and she'll tell me...

I have heard enough.
Mrs. Jackson, rest assured...

- your green card will be approved.
- Really?

- That's wonderful.
- Yes. Only married people in
love could behave this way.

And if love is blind, I can only hope that
your sense of smell fails you as well.

- Well, thank you very much, Mrs., uh, Wilson.
- Congratulations.

Well, now that that's all taken care of,
you, out. We're getting a divorce.

A divorce? But I'm in love
with you, girl. I love you.

- This is $ .
- Twenty dollars?

You think that $ is gonna erase
the feeling? What about our dreams?

- Going to see our little son
down in county jail together?
- That's $ .

Forty dollars? What, you think
I'm some kind of ho? I ain't no ho.

- Here. That's a hundred.
- Well, I am a businessman.

So, I'll see you around, bitch.

Okay. This is station one.
The shake machine.

Oh, yeah. See, I got experience in this, 'cause
I used to work over at Thank God It's Yogurt.

- Good. So you know what to do, so do it.
- Right. Exactly.

'Cause I'm here, you know, to make
your job better. You see what I'm saying?

- Mm-hmm.
- It's about us. It's all about us.

My name is Chillin'? How you doin'?

Lot of my friends call me Charles,
but they call me Chillin' too, mostly...

- 'cause that what I do mostly is chill.
- Uh-huh.

Well, uh, that's cool and everything.
I'm sure your parents are proud.

But what I need right now is two
strawberries and one raspberry shake.

- Don't get the cups mixed up, okay?
- That ain't nothin', see?

- 'Cause I got this. This is about us.
- Mm-hmm.

Miss, I asked for a cheese dog,
not a chili cheeseburger.

- So?
- So, I want a cheese dog.

Uh, so you want me
to do something about that?

Here you go.

Thank you for coming to Bob's Big Weenie.
You will come again, all right?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, see, I was working
over at Meats-R-Us the other day.

But, you know, something had went down, right?
Friend of mine, Larry, came to visit me.

He always come to my job give me
encouragement, you know what I'm sayin'?

After he left, my supervisor come to me
talkin' about something.

Talkin' about something. "Let's go for a walk."
You know what I'm sayin'?

Then he gonna say Larry is in connection with
some T-bone steaks that came up missin'.

Okay, how you gonna blame Larry?

All right, so what his car was parked out back
and it was the only one with the trunk popped.

So, what? He gonna blame that on him?
That's wrong.

That was steppin' on my professionalism.
I got on out of there, man.

Uh-huh, that's cool and everything and I'm sure
they would do a miniseries about it...

but what I wanna know right now is
where are the shakes?

- Oh, that's done.
- I thought you said you knew what you was doing?

I thought you said you had experience.

Well, see, what I got experience in
is chocolate and vanilla.

You see what I'm sayin'? As you can see, you got
strawberry, raspberry and blueberry.

I ain't go no experience on berries.

You got to train me correctly
if you want me to do my job.

Just move. I'll do it.
Do you know how to flip burgers?

Oh, yeah, I can flip some burgers.
'Cause I used to work over at Chili Waffles?

- On Third and Wallabee?
- Uh-huh.

- So I know all about the burgers.
- Uh-huh. That's cool and everything.

I am sure that
your story is so moving...

that it will make me want to marry you,
have four ugly kids and name them all Larry...

but all you got to do right now, is flip the
burgers and make sure they don't burn, all right?

Don't worry. I'm here to make your job easy,
you know what I'm sayin'?

- It's about us, you know?
It's a cooperative thing.
- Mm-hmm.

You know, Chili Waffles,
boom. Look at this... ta da!

Boom, ta da.

See, this is experience. See how I flip that?
Look at that. Ta da!

That's experience, see?
I use to work over at Chili Waffles...

but I got fired over some old bull,
you know what I'm sayin'?

But then I was working at Lou's Used Cars
and something went down.

My friend Larry had showed up, right?
And, so, later on after Larry had left...

my supervisor come up to me,
"Let's take a walk."

You know what I'm saying? He gonna connect
Larry to a El Dorado that come up missing.

You know what I'm sayin'?
He gonna blame Larry for that.

That ain't right. That's steppin' on my
professionalism. Simple as that.

Look at this.
These hamburgers are ruined.

- Uh, yeah, well...
- You know what? I am sick of you.

What is your problem?
How come you can't do this?

Well, 'cause... see, you gotta look at
the dynamics of this grill.

You see what I'm sayin'?
This is a flat grill.

See, I'm used to charbroiled grill.

You see what I'm sayin'? I'm used to
putting black stripes on the hamburger.

- [Horn Honks]
- Hold on a minute. I will be with you.

- [Honks]
- Honk again here, see you don't
get these fries in your face.

Okay, come here,
'cause I am just getting mad at you.

- So far you have done nothing right. All right?
- I'm ready to do this.

All you have to do is wrap
the burgers, put them in a bag...

and give them to
the customers, okay?

See, that ain't nothing, see? 'Cause I got
experience in packaging...

'cause I used to work at
Derek's Devilish Hot Dogs.

Uh-huh. You-You got all
this experience, huh?

Well, Mr. Experience, if you were
so good at Derek's Devilish Dogs...

how come you ain't there now?

Well, 'cause... Well, something
had went down. Larry...

Uh-huh, uh-huh. With you
and your boy Larry, right?

Nah, nah. Actually, Larry was locked up.
His brother Sherman came over.

Uh-huh, well, just shut up and do this.
Damn, don't you ever stop talking?

- Ain't gonna be all of that.
- Yo, what's up, Chillin'?

What's up, Larry?

- What's up, boy? You hungry?
- Hey, bad. What's up, boy?

- You lookin' good, boy.
- Excuse me.

Only people in cars is supposed to
come to the drive-through window.

You straight-up wrong.
See, you don't even know what's up.

Larry caught the bus over here.

Larry supposed to ask the bus to come
through? You know the bus too big.

Look, my El Dorado's in the shop,
so why you sweating me, girl?

I'm sure this is all
a really moving story...

and I'm gonna have to make sure to
remember to tell my grandchildren.

But what I want to know is why come
you got all this food?

- Are you Bob's Big Weenie?
- Excuse me?

- He said, "Are you Bob's Big Weenie?"
- No.

- All right, then, this is "A" and "B."
- [Together] See ya.

- I don't have to take this.
- So, man, is this gonna work out for you, man?

- I think this is gonna work out fine.
- All right, then, cool.

That's what I'm sayin'. Yeah, 'cause see,
I want that one right over there.

What the hell is goin' on here?

You are stealing food.
I caught you red-handed. You're fired.

Man, what's up with him?

See, he don't even know how to fire nobody.
He didn't take me for no walk.

That's messin' with my professionalism.
You know what I'm sayin'?

That's all right, 'cause I got
an application over at Casa de Beans.

That's all right.
[Continues, Indistinct]

[Man] And now for the further
adventures of Handi Man.

- [Struggling]
- Tiny, we're trapped.

Now, crutched crusaders, prepare to die.

[Man] Last episode, Handi Man and the Tiny
Avenger were trapped by the evil Isadora.

Is it curtains for our two heros?

Okay, Handi Man. Let's see how
handy you are with a saw.

Oh, my gosh, Handi Man.
We're goners for sure.

Oh, ye of little faith
and even littler legs. Be patient.

They say it ain't over
until the fat lady sings.

- And I haven't heard you blow yet.
- Enough of your Handi crap.

Now that you two troublemakers are out of
my way, I can finally complete my master plan.

To transplant a healthy,
young dancer's legs onto my body.

Once again, I'll be
the world's greatest dancer.

I don't care whose legs you have,
you'll always look likeJane Pittman to me.

[Whirring]

Now, if you'll excuse me, Handi Man,
I have to cut out.

[Maniacal Laughter]

I hate her laugh.

Well, I guess this is
the end, isn't it, Handi Man?

No. You know what I always say.

- Never underestimate the handicapped?
- Uh-uh.

Help! That was just a little Handi joke.

Oh, stop kidding, Handi Man. We're both gonna
be sawed in half in a matter of seconds.

Not if I can help it.
[Grunting]

If I could just get my hand on my Handi Belt,
I could set us free.

- Oh, hurry, Handi Man.
- There it is.

My portable time reversing machine.

- What's that gonna do?
- Just watch.

No short jokes, please.

[Engine Shuts Off]

- You're free.
- And not a moment too soon.

I almost made a super stinky
in my Handi Suit.

Hey, Handi Man, that Handi Belt is amazing.
Does it do anything else?

Yes. It keeps my pants up.

Well, well, well.
If it isn't Manny, Moe and Jack.

- May I?
- Please take care of my light work.

Take that.

Great work,
Tiny Avenger.

Now, quick,
where's Isadora's laboratory?

- On the third floor.
- And I bet there's not a disabled ramp either.

Come on.

You go first.

♪ Dancing, dancing, dancing ♪

♪ I'm a dancing machine ♪

♪ Oh, baby ♪
[Vocalizing]

Look. She's about to take
that poor girl's legs.

Not if I can help it.

[Machine Shuts Off]

At last. The transference is complete.

Wrong, Isadora.
It seems you've had your last dance.

I'm afraid you're too late, Handi Man.

The little brat's legs are already mine.

Now I can dance
like a -year-old again.

My legs! My legs!
My glorious legs!

I got news for you, Isadora...

those are the same old withered
pool sticks that you always had.

What are you talking about?
They're long and...

Oh, my God. Then how is it I was able to
dance again, Handi Man?

You've always had the ability to dance,
you just never tried.

Oh, Handi Man, thank you for
giving me back my life.

That's exactly what you're
gonna get, Isadora: Life.

- At the state penitentiary.
- No!

- Yes.
- No!

- Yes.
- No!

Yes. See you later, dancing machine.

Thanks, Handi Man and Tiny Avenger.

Don't mention it, twinkle toes.
Plié and away. Plié.

Well, Handi Man,
I guess we better get going.

You mean wherever there's injustice
towards handicap?

- You got it.
- Okay.

Up, up and away.

Here, let me help you.

[Together]
Up, up and away.

Up, up and away.

[Man] Tune in next time for the
further adventures of Handi Man.

- Yo, Damon, kick it.
- Get out of here.

All right. Next week, y'all.
