- Mom, I gotta say,

you're such a good cook.

This Count Chocula's amazing.

- Aw, thanks, buddy.

- Really tasty.

The way you put

the milk in and--

- You gotta get that milk

in just right

at the right temperature

to get the water brown.

- Hey!

- Hey.

- Good morning, Uncle Bill.

- Listen, thanks

for letting me crash

in your attic.

I had a great time.

But I gotta get the f*ck

out of here.

Take care.

- Wait, Bill--

- Where are you going?

- I realized

that New Jersey--

uh, what's the word--

sucks, so I'm moving

back to Boston.

- Oh.

- Even this part,

talking to you, sucks.

I gotta get out of here.

- What?

- Wow.

- Anyway, my apartment,

it doesn't allow dogs.

So I wanna give you Bill Jr

as a parting gift.

Here you go.

- No, no, no.

- Yeah, no,

he already loves you.

Look at him.

- We can't have a dog, dude.

I lead a very hectic lifestyle.

- Hectic?

You're the only person

I know who's less busy than me.

- Yeah, it's not hectic.

- I'm an unemployed ball boy.

This is the most you've done

all week, talk to me.

Take the dog, come on.

- Come on,

he seems like a good boy.

[dog snarling]

- Nah. This is not gonna

go down like that.

That sounds like a lot of work.

- Oh, it's easy.

You walk him

about 12 times a day.

- 12?

- Never leave him alone.

Do not leave him alone.

He'll piss on your pillow.

- Oh.

- He gets very violent

when you make eye contact.

- Violent like he--

- And, uh,

he only eats leftovers

from Sizzler.

- That's too much--

too many Sizzler outings.

- That's not my problem.

He's your dog now, guys.

You already said yes.

Have fun, Billy.

- Bill, don't leave.

- Bill.

- I gotta go.

- Bill, stop.

- Oh, before I forget,

I didn't know

the bathroom situation

in the house,

so I've just been

sh1tting in the attic.

See ya later.

- Oh, my God.

- He wasn't a great

houseguest, was he?

- No, Tom, he wasn't.

[cheerful music]

[bell jingles]

- Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Sorry, hold up.

- What's wrong?

- You can't bring a dog

in here.

No dogs allowed.

- Oh, no, no.

This is Bill Jr.

He's a--he's a good boy.

[dog snarling]

- He's a good boy?

That's your comeback?

- Trust me,

he won't piss on anything.

He's not gonna chew the legs

off the tables or--

- Okay, the quickness

with which

you said those things

made me feel like

he's definitely gonna

piss on the table

and chew off the legs, so for

sure that dog can't come in.

- Oh, come on,

you gotta let me in.

I know everyone in there.

Oh, there--hey, Nelson.

- Tom, what's up, man?

What you doing?

- Oh, the hostess

is out of control.

- Really?

- She won't let Bill Jr in.

- When'd you get a dog?

- Today.

It was kind of

a spontaneous thing.

Why don't I just

get out of here.

- Nah, you could

just drop him off

and come back.

- Nah, actually, it's--

he can't be left alone.

Plus, I have to feed him

dinner.

Then I have to give him a bath,

and I have to clip his nails.

Then I have to give him

his medicine and--

- Man, you went from, like,

ten to 40 years old real fast.

You're basically

a single dad now.

- Nah, I'm still young

and loose

and fun, same as ever.

- Well, it was good

knowing you.

- What? Where are you going?

- It was nice meeting you,

Bill Jr.

- Can I say something?

For a host,

you have an off-putting

personality.

- Do I?

- Eh, it's just kind of mean.

- Yeah.

Call me in seven years

when you have your first job.

He's curr--he's--

- All right,

now he is, now he is.

- Yeah.

- Get that dog out of here.

- Hey, Tom.

- Oh, bad news, guys.

You can't go in.

No dogs allowed.

- Tom, I can do

whatever the f*ck I want

'cause she's a therapy dog.

- Therapy dog?

What does that mean?

- Uh, my mom has

a medical condition--

wink, wink, air quotes.

- You want me to wink or

you're saying the word "wink"?

I'm lost.

- You know what, you're such

a little nimrod,

you really are.

- Excuse me?

- Just get your dog

certified as a service animal,

and then you can

take him anywhere.

- No, I don't wanna lie.

I don't have

a medical disorder.

- Tom, I want you to take this

the right way.

- Okay.

- But you are

a walking medical disorder.

- That's--that's insulting.

- Why don't you call my guy,

and he'll totally hook you up.

- Thank you.

- Dakota, I'm heading in,

'cause, you know,

I can take about two seconds

of this drivel.

- Wait, did your mom just do

something nice for me?

- Oh, no.

Her therapist wants her

to start doing

one nice thing every day,

so I think she just

filled her quota.

- That makes more sense.

- Hey, there, little guy.

Welcome in.

- Thanks for seeing me.

I was referred to

by Dakota's mom.

- Who is that?

- Big--big lady, mean,

loud, tall,

off-putting personality.

- That could be

any number of people, so--

but what seems to be

the problem?

- Well, you know,

just general--general problems.

- Can you be a little bit

more specific?

- Just put down

"general medical ailments."

- Are--are you having

headaches, loss of sleep?

- I think I need a, uh--

some kind of--

I forget the phrase,

medical dog?

- Yeah, I see

what's going on here.

You think I'm dumb, huh?

- I don't--I don't think

anyone's dumb.

- You think I'm just a lab coat

with a pencil

- Nah.

- And a notepad

- Calm down.

- That can free you

from all sorts

of societal rules.

- Please.

- No, you know what?

Take off your gown

and get out of my office.

- Get out?

- I'm just kidding around.

[laughs] I'm kidding.

- Oh.

- I will absolutely

write you a note.

You should have said so

from the beginning.

- Oh, thank you so much.

- Done and done.

So can I get you anything else

while you're here?

- Nah, I'm good.

- Adderall?

- I'll pass.

- Percocet for the kids.

- What?

- Low-dose Viagra?

- What's that?

What does that do?

- You know what?

Forget I said that.

There is a line,

and I crossed it.

And as a foot doctor,

I shouldn't even be

commenting on stuff like that.

[school bell rings]

- Class, today we're going

to learn about Igor Stravinksy

and his impact on--

dear Lord, why is that beast

in my class?

- Beast? Me or the dog?

- Thomas, canines are not

allowed in school.

- Oh, no, he is.

He's a service dog.

- Tom, as a child,

I was nearly "serviced"

by a dog

because I was dry-humped

by the beast.

- Dry-humped by a beast?

- Now please, take that beast

out of the classroom.

- First of all,

stop calling him a beast.

You're getting him worked up.

[dog yelping]

Bill, sit down.

- The mongrel must

be restrained.

- Mr. B, sit.

[dog snarling]

- He terrifies me.

- Bill, sit.

- Bill Jr, down.

- Oh, my God.

- That dog is supposed

to keep you calm?

- In theory, yes.

- Seems like

he's an agent of chaos.

- Tom, he's screaming at me.

- Mr. B, you gotta

lower your voice.

- He's gonna k*ll Mr. B!

- Ah!

- Bill.

- Not again!

- Mr. B, sit.

- Oh, my God,

I'm being hounded!

- Bill, sit.

- Call animal control!

- Mr. B--

- And tell them Mr. B

- Oh, my God.

- Is being mauled to death!

Aah!

- He's not great.

He's not a great therapy dog.

- Okay, calm down, guys.

Your teacher ran home,

but the dog is okay.

The little guy just

felt cornered.

- Oh, thanks

for taking care of him.

He's a--he's a good boy.

- I'm sure he is.

You on the other hand

seem to have some issues.

- What does that--

what do you mean?

- This doctor's note

you gave me,

pretty troubling.

- What is--

- "Tom is a total nutjob."

- No.

- "And can freak out

at any moment."

- Is that what he wrote?

- Why don't we put you

on a leash just to be safe.

- What? All right, please--

- I think that's a great idea.

- What?

- I mean, your doctor said

you're a lunatic.

You can't be just roaming--

- Stop.

- Stop? You stop.

- You can't put a leash

on a little kid.

You can't--

obviously can't do that.

- Technically, you can put a

leash on anything with a neck.

- You're a licensed

animal control guy?

- Excu--do you wanna

see my credentials?

- I would like

to see something.

A résumé.

- A résumé?

I don't carry--

who carries a résumé?

- I feel like we're

splitting hairs here, okay?

At this point, strap him in.

- Nelson, don't--

- There we go.

- No.

- I'm on it.

- Stop.

- Tom.

- Nelson.

- Relax, Tom.

- Nelson.

- Tom--dog!

Down! Got him.

- Why is no one interjecting?

- Tom, until you can prove

you're of sound mind,

I can't have you roaming

these halls unrestrained

like a lunatic.

- Come on.

- He--he shouldn't

own a dog either.

I mean, we're hanging

onto this little guy

until he's sane again.

- Oh, please, no.

Don't take Bill Jr.

Bill! Bill, I'll come for you!

- [whistles]

Come on. Heel, Tom.

- All right, Nelson, enough.

- You gotta pee?

You gotta go do some business?

- Seriously, it's not funny.

- You gotta go

plop in the yard?

[insects chirring]

[cell phone ringing]

- What the hell? Tom's mom?

What kind of crazy b*tch calls

at 2:00 a.m.?

Hello?

- Hey, Dakota's mom?

It's me, Tom.

- Oh, my God,

why are you calling me,

you little maniac?

Did you k*ll Dakota?

- k*ll?

No, no, everything's fine.

Listen, I just need

another favor.

You mentioned you have

a therapist, right?

- Does a bear sh*t

in the woods?

Of course I have a therapist.

- You do?

- My life's a living hell.

You know, I'm in therapy

five days a week.

Have you seen my husband?

- He seems like a handful.

- There's

something really wrong.

Like, you know, I mean, if--

if I could perform a lobotomy

and get away with it, I would.

- I can hear you, honey.

- Shut up, Brad.

Now listen, Tom.

If it gets you off the phone,

I'm gonna call my little

therapist in the morning,

and I'm gonna tell her

to expect you.

- Oh, thank you so much.

You're the best.

I love ya.

- Please don't start thinking

that we're gonna be friendly.

I did one nice thing,

and I regret it already.

- Honey, I need to pee.

May I have permission to go

to the bathroom?

- No, Brad.

No, I'm trying to sleep.

Please, hold till the morning.

Jeez! My God!

- Tom, I understand

you're having some issues.

- Uh, I'm fine actually.

I just need a note

that says I'm normal.

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- I'm obviously

ridiculously normal, so

- Tom, normal people don't say

"I'm ridiculously normal."

- Yeah, they do.

- Mm, no. They don't.

- The other doctor

was much more cool.

The other guy was very loose

about this stuff.

- Did you go see

a vet or something?

What kind of doctor

did you go see?

- I just need to get

my dog back.

- I just wanna help you.

Have you had any

childhood trauma?

- No.

No, smooth sailing really.

- Smooth sailing? Been smooth

sailing your whole childhood?

- I--I mean, I once pooped

my pants at a baseball game,

and all the parents laughed

at me.

- That's terrible.

- I mean,

my gerbil was eaten alive

in front of my eyes by a hawk.

- Horrific.

- And I mean,

now that we're talking,

I mean, I was chased

out of Fenway

by a mob of drunks.

- Oh, my God.

- But they were drunk.

I mean, it doesn't count

if they're drunk, right?

- Tom, you have serious trauma

to deal with.

- Really?

- I'm not gonna sign off

on any of this

until you physically

revisit these traumatic

events

- Oh, no. Come on.

- And find,

with your mother,

some sort of peace.

- I'm not trying

to tell you your job,

but that just sounds like

overkill.

I'm--I'm fine.

- Tom, you came in

with a leash around your neck.

You are not fine.

Listen up, Tom.

Use some of the talking points

I gave you, okay?

You've got this.

- Attention, everyone.

I pooped my pants

on this field, but it does not

define me as a person.

I've moved on.

Thank you

for giving me closure.

- Wow.

That was emotional.

- Ready to drop a load

somewhere else?

- Security guard who tased me

while screaming,

"I will end you,

you little son of a b*tch,"

I've forgotten the whole thing.

I've moved on.

- Bingo. That's my boy.

- Crossing guard

who exposed himself

and said, "Say hello

to my little friend,"

I am not traumatized

by your actions.

I have closure. Thank you.

- That, my friend, is therapy.

- Red Sox fans, you chased me

out of your stadium

and urinated on my clothing

and backpack.

But I'm good with it.

I have closure. Thank you.

Ice cream truck

at the bottom of the river,

you are not a symbol

of my lost youth.

I'm at peace

with all ice cream vendors.

- Wow. Thanks for asking Tom

to do all that.

- Tom, for all your hard work,

I have a little surprise

for you.

- There you go, buddy.

- Bill Jr?

[dog barks]

Oh, he's back.

[swelling music]

Oh, get over here, buddy.



What a happy ending.

- Before we wrap this up,

there's one more place

I think Tom should go.

- One more? Where's that?

- You know where.

- Oh, no.

- Hold up,

where are we exactly?

- It's where

Tina the sl*t worked

before running off

with Tom's dad.

- Tom's dad ran off

with a masseuse?

- Yeah.

- You really should have

mentioned that

during our session.

- Nah, it's not a big thing.

We got the dog.

Let's pack it up.

I don't wanna do this.

- No, let's do this.

- I've got closure.

- No, you've suffered.

You're emotionally weird

because of this.

- Nah.

- Scoop up Bill Jr and take him

in there for moral support.

- Can I have your attention,

please?

Massage place

where my dad met Tina the sl*t,

I know she ran off with him

and they are nailing each other

in Myrtle Beach,

but I am at peace with it

and I have closure.

That felt good.

All right, come on, Billy.

- Wait, is that my f*cking dog?

- What's this? No.

This is Bill Jr.

- Bill Jr?

His name is Maurice.

- Maurice?

- Come, Maurice.

- No.

Bill Jr, sit.

- Maurice, come.

[dog whimpers]

- No, Bill Jr, sit.

- No, Maurice.

- Don't--Bill.

- Oh, what a relief.

Some maniac from Boston

came in last week

and stole him.

- Maniac from Boston?

- Play the tape.

- Oh, that massage sucked.

Tom's dad told me

this was a rub 'n' tug place.

I'm taking your dog.

- Oh, that explains a lot.

All right,

so wh--what happens now?

I just, like, go home and cry,

or what do I do?

- You nailed it. I'm glad

we got all this closure.

- So how'd it go?

- Not great.

They took the dog,

and I'm scarred for life,

so as far as therapy goes,

it's not a great session.

[cheerful music]

[jazzy music]

- Mom, why are we here?

Why are we at the nurse's

gender reveal party?

I thought

you hate these things.

- Tom, you should know this

about me by now.

I'm here for the free food.

Now stuff some jalapeño poppers

down your pants.

- That's why we came?

- What do you think

our dinner is tonight?

Get those jally poppies

down your pants.

- Hi, everyone, and welcome

to the reveal party.

On behalf of me

and my future son,

thank you for coming.

- That was the reveal?

She just said,

"I'm having a son."

- That can't be it.

You can't invite people

to a--a sentence

that you're gonna say.

- WTF?

- Oh, wait, didn't

you guys read the invite?

This isn't a gender reveal.

It's a father reveal.

- Wait, what?

- Oh, this is not happening.

- Based on my sexual activity

within the past few months,

there are three possible

contenders:

ice cream man

- Very unlikely.

- The plumber

- No.

Come on.

- And Rick the ad guy.

- Ow!

Honey, please,

it's a one in three chance.

- Congratulations, team.

Now let's hop

in that shuttle bus

and head down to the lake.

Whoo!

- Tom, steal literally

every meatball

so we got something

for the ride.

- Literally take

all the meatballs?

- Every meatball you see,

I want you to shove it

down your jeans.

- All right.

- Between the jean,

outside the underwear.

- Okay, guys, this is going

to be spectacular.

Remember Sharon's

gender reveal,

that pathetic little

piece of sh*t?

This is gonna blow that away.

I spared no expense.

I hired the Italian company

that does the New York

Fourth of July festivals, so--

[laughs] Okay?

A hot air balloon is gonna

rise into the sky,

create a plume

of colored smoke,

and then fireworks will

rain down on the town

for about an hour and a half.

- Sounds kind of dangerous, no?

- It's white for ice cream man,

brown for plumber,

and yellow for Rick.

- If it's not me,

let me just say this.

Free ice cream for everyone.

- Love you guys.

You're like family now.

- Now here's Federico

with the safety talk.

- [speaking Italian]

- Why's he pointing at me?

- All right, he needs

a very tiny volunteer,

so he's obviously chosen Tom.

- No, I have an unnatural fear

of balloons.

Plus, my mom won't allow it.

She's very strict.

- Honestly, I feel like

if you just do it,

we'll get out of here faster.

- Mom--

- Bellissimo.

- What?

- Okay.

- Why's he grabbing me?

- [speaking Italian]

- No.

I didn't ever agree.

- Dieci, nove

- Why's he counting?

Are we doing a safety talk

or something?

- He's counting down to safety.

- Quattro

- Wait, what does this do?

- Oi.

- What's happening here?

Wait, why am I going up?

- No, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no!

Not yet! Oh!

- Wh--I didn't do anything.

What's happening?

[fireworks popping]

- Holy f*ck-a!

- Tom, throw me

the jalapeño poppers.

- Someone help. What do I do?

- [speaking Italian]

- What--what's he saying?

- He's saying,

"Good God, run for your lives.

The chemicals are quite toxic."

- Wait, what's happening?

- Tom, get out of there.

Get out, Tom.

- Throw me the meatballs.

- Tom, jump! Jump into

the ice cream man's arms.

- This is a terrible

way to die.

I'm going down.

That doesn't look good at all.

[sirens wailing]

- Just to confirm,

she said yellow is Rick?

- Yep. Congrats, buddy.

- No way it's me.

Look at that plumber.

It's always the plumber.

[firetruck honking]

- Hey, kids,

today we have a special guest

to teach us

about the environment.

I hear she's a lot of fun,

so give it up for Lisa

from Greenpeace.

- Thank you. Hi, kids.

Are you guys ready

to get silly and laugh?

- Yes!

- Yeah!

- Uh, yeah.

- Um, well, I'm not,

because Tom k*lled

all the fish in the lake

and made the water un-swimmable

for generations.

- Me? No.

If we're blaming anyone,

blame the baby.

It was the b--the baby's fault.

- Wow.

Using a baby as a scapegoat.

That's some real class A stuff.

- It was a hot air balloon--

hot air balloon mishap.

- Just get up here.

- All right.

- They told me she was fun.

What the F is she doing?

- Okay, so Tom, you're being

called a lot of things.

- Really?

- You know, one of them

is the Fish Assassin.

- Nah.

- The--the Hot Air Balloon

as*h*le.

- People are calling me that?

- Uh, the Exxon Valdez

of Ten-Year-Olds.

- I haven't heard any of these.

- You know, you guys, I'm not--

I'm not here to shame Tom,

because I understand

this is just because he is

a truly ignorant,

stupid buttface.

- Of all the assemblies we've

had, this is the worst by far.

- Okay, well--

- The magician was great.

- Sure.

- That guy was good.

- So let's play a game.

I want you to pretend

that you're a fish

who just ingested

strontium chloride.

- That's the game?

- So get down.

- All right, I feel like

you don't know

what a game is, but I'll--

I'll do it.

- Okay, great.

Okay, okay, now flop.

- So I'm just gonna flop

on the floor?

- Yes.

- How's this?

- You guys have been

such a great audience.

I've really just--

I've so enjoyed your time.

- It's over?

- I love my job.

- The assembly is over?

- And I hope that you've

learned so much,

and I hope you've had so fun--

please don't tell me

when this is done.

I say when it's done.

Thank you.

- Oh, man,

what an assembly that was.

- Tom, just so you know,

I'm not gonna start calling you

the Hot Air Balloon as*h*le.

- Thank you.

It's not a good nickname.

- Listen, Tom,

I heard what you did,

and I have a solution.

- No.

Enough with the chiming in.

- What you need

are carbon offsets.

- Carbon offsets?

- It's where you do one thing

that's bad for the environment,

right, which you've done

- I did that.

- Then you offset it

by doing something good.

- No, this sounds sketchy.

This sounds like

classic bus driver stuff.

- No, no, no, no, no, no,

my dad, he actually does it.

- He does?

- Yeah, if he flies

in a private jet, he offsets it

by donating to wind farms.

- And that makes

the problem go away?

- Absolutely. Well, kind of.

- Well, let me put it--

let's say

you take a smelly dump, Tom

- Come on.

- Which we all know you do

- This is in poor taste.

- And then you spray

a little bit

of air freshener around.

- I don't even know what we're

talking about anymore.

- I'm just saying,

you offset the smell

with the smell

of something good.

- How does that work?

I don't--

- Just go plant

a bunch of trees,

and you're good to go.

- So you're saying

if I plant trees,

it's like I never

destroyed the lake?

- Exactly.

- That's amazing.

Thank you, bus driver.

I gotta say, you're, uh--

you're smarter than you look.

- It sounds like you're saying

I look visibly dumb,

but I'll take it

as a compliment.

- I mean, you don't look

like an intelligent man,

you realize that, right?

- Oh, yes, yeah.

I mean, that's why I'm not

getting that upset about it.

- Wow, look at this.

What a--what a spectacle.

- Tom, I'm so proud of you.

I mean, this was a great idea,

getting everyone

to plant trees.

- Hey, you know,

that's the kind of guy I am.

I'm a tree planter.

- You're not

a Hot Air Balloon as*h*le.

You're--you're actually

a really good kid.

- Thank you. That's nice.

So you'll give me

a nice little intro, and then,

uh, I'll take the stage?

- Uh, yeah, I think I know

how to give you a good intro.

I did open mic 12 times

when I was 24.

Uh, hi, everybody,

and thanks for coming.

Everyone, as you know,

one of our students

had a great idea

to help the environment.

The goal is to plant ten trees

all around the whole school.

Now the young man

behind it all is here to say--

- Actually, actually,

I'd like to say something.

- Wait, what's this?

- I'm a landscaper,

and I'd like to help.

- That's my dad.

- Why stop at ten trees?

Let's make it 100.

- Wow, a hundred.

That makes the whole ten idea

seem kind of lame.

- So generous.

- It's the same idea.

He's just multiplying it.

- And let's call it

Randy's Dad's 100 Tree Project.

- Whoo!

- No, we have a name.

No, we made the banner.

- And what the hell,

for every donation

to this project,

we will match it

dollar for dollar!

- My dad is dropping the mulch!

- [gasps] Oh, my God!

Amazing.

- No, why is he still talking?

Can you c--can we cut his mic?

- I'm Randy's dad, and I wanna

thank you for listening.

- Whoo!

- Let's hear it for that guy.

And thanks for coming

everybody, and--

- Oh, no, hold on.

- Now let's get out there

and plant some trees.

- Wait, uh, Principal,

you never introduced me.

- What do you want me to say?

- You gotta say my name.

You gotta say Tom at least.

- Okay.

Uh, one more thing, everybody.

Tom.

- That's literally

not even a sentence.

- It's what you asked for.

- Oh, Rick. Rick.

Hey, Rick.

- Hey, lil' Tom.

- Oh, hey, Rick.

- You wanna hang out

or bro out or--

- I don't wanna bro out.

But I actually need

some advice.

You mind if I come in?

- I would love it.

My wife's at her sister's,

so I got a lot of time

on my hands right now.

- Uh, she upset

about the whole baby thing?

- You know, when you have

a baby with somebody else,

it just creates a lot

of friction in the house.

- I could see that.

- Hop on in here.

- I don't know if you realize,

someone spray-painted

"c*cksucker" on your house.

- Oh, no, no, no.

I'm trying to match the paint.

It's a--it was a custom color.

It's a whole kerfuffle.

Trust me.

- Oh, wow, she, uh--

she spray-painted inside too.

- Inside too, inside too.

- "b*tch," "c*ck," "as*h*le,"

I'm not allowed to say

any of these words.

- No, I know,

it's a lot of stuff.

It's--I mean,

it's nice it's a theme.

It ties the room together,

but, uh--

what can I do for you, Tom?

- I came up with

a tree planting program,

and everyone else

is stealing credit.

- Okay, so you got infringed

on your idea,

and we gotta get the word out?

- Yes.

- Okay, we can do that.

Watch the master in action.

Here we go, okay.

- Oh, wow, whiteboard

in your house.

- Yeah, this is what I do.

- Oh, my God.

Watching the master in action.

- That's it. Metal plaques.

- Metal plaques?

- Like you see in the parks.

Engrave them with, "This tree

brought to you by Tom."

- That's genius, Rick.

- Thank you.

- It sounds expensive though.

How would I ever--

- Please, little tiny Tom,

my treat.

- You're gonna pay

for the plaques?

- Yep, because my wife's

gonna get all the money

in the divorce, so I need

to divest my assets ASAP.

- I feel like you've

got problems, Rick.

- [laughs]

I've clearly got issues, Tom.

Here's my credit card. Go nuts.

- So you're telling me

Rick gave you

his credit card

and said, "Go nuts"?

- He either said, "Go nuts,"

or "Try not to go nuts."

- Hm, that's a big

difference, Tom.

- It's possible he offered me

some mixed nuts.

I really wasn't listening.

- Well, either way,

we gonna figure out.

We got the card.

- We got the card, yeah,

so it's an exciting time

to be alive.

- Whoo!

- Hey, are you the trophy guy?

- I am.

- Listen, I'd like to buy,

uh, 100 metal plaques

that say,

"This tree was planted by Tom."

- 100?

Uh, I don't think

your allowance is gonna

cover that, bud.

- Uh, talk to Rick's

gold card, b*tch.

- I'm sorry, excuse me? What?

- He didn't mean to swear.

We're just a little excited

to have a credit card.

- Too excited.

We're too excited.

- Oh, your parents

are paying for this?

- Well, it's, uh--

it's my neighbor.

- So why are we stopping

at the plaques?

Can I interest you in a statue?

- Ooh.

- 'Cause I could easily make

a statue

of you holding a shovel.

- No, no, that's too much.

- Yes.

A Tom statue?

- That sounds expensive though.

I mean--

- Put it on the card.

We can go up to the max.

If it's able to do it

on the max,

then you get the statue of Tom.

- Can you put him on a horse?

- I can.

It's completely irrelevant

to planting trees, but--

- I do like the imagery.

- It could seem

as if you're in full gallop.

- You know what?

You guys talked me into it.

- Yes! Tom, my man!

- All right, you know what?

Give us 100 plaques,

best materials you got,

give us a huge statue,

me, horse, shovel.

- Ch-ch-ch-ch.

Eh, yeah, I can do that. Okay.

- This is amazing.

You're really a great trophy

and plaque and statue guy.

- I gotta say,

you two are literally

the best customers

I've ever had come in here.

- Randy, why are

they interviewing Tom?

- More importantly, why did

they make a statue of him?

- All right,

I'm bringing this thing down.

Watch your feet.

This thing weighs ten tons.

- Oh, wow. It came out great.

Shovel looks amazing.

- And, son, uh,

do you have a second

to comb through your hair

or straighten up your shirt?

- Uh, this is the general look.

This is as good as it gets.

- All right, you know what?

Let's just roll on this.

Let's roll.

Hi, folks.

I'm here with a feel-good story

about a local boy who,

it turns out,

is behind the whole

100 Trees program.

Tom, tell us,

what inspired you?

- Well, I just love, uh--

I love the Earth.

What can I say?

- Well, I'd love

for you to say more.

- You know,

I just love, uh, the soil.

I love trees and roots

and bark and whatnot.

- [chuckles] Fantastic.

"And whatnot."

Tom, what about the horse?

What does it signify?

- Uh, you know, the horse is

just really about the way

I gallop from town to town

planting trees.

- Okay, well,

that's fair enough.

A beautiful testament

to nature and its power.

- Um, what the hell

am I looking at?

- Greenpeace Lisa?

- What are these things

made of?

- Oh, don't worry about that.

We spared no expense.

Uh, I believe he said

they're made of pure lead.

- Wh--I'm--pure lead?

- Yeah, we wanted it to be here

for many generations

so they could see my name.

- Uh, these plaques are gonna

slowly k*ll every tree in town,

and eventually, it's gonna

seep into the water supply.

- Oh.

- So everyone in this town

is gonna die

from lead poisoning.

And, uh--and that's on you.

- Oh, that kind of

puts a damper

on the whole thing, doesn't it?

- I'm just curious,

what is it like

to be an ignorant, miniscule,

unimportant butthead?

- An ignorant butthead?

It's not a great feeling.
