Could you just... just pick up the...

Pick up the phone!

One-night stand?

Barret, where do you get off

changing the police scanner codes?

Okay, A, you're checking up on me?

And, B, I just used the actual codes,

not the ones you made up, so...

Mine were easier to remember.

- - was young kids
about to start trouble,

- - were old people
bitchin' about sh*t,

and - - were dogs banging
in the ballpark.

Kadow!

Stan, I'm not in the mood.

My ex is late bringing back Grace,

and I am this close to losing it.

Well, just slap a
transponder on his vehicle,

you'll know exactly where he is.

Well, that would be an abuse of power.

Mommy! Mommy!

There she is!

Hey, baby doll!

Come here. Let me see you.

Oh, I missed you.

You can all relax.

Kenny is here.

Mom, you have to come out
and meet Daffodil!

Ooh! Daffodil?

Oh.

You might want to start stocking up

on some of that
"World's Greatest Dad" merch.

What are you going to do?

You're going to keep a pony
at your apartment in Boston?

I believe you're the one
that lives in the country.

You unbelievable jackass.

You bought her a pony
without checking with me first?

She said I was the greatest dad ever.

Oh!

[Chuckling] Right, I forgot.

It's all about you!

It's never about her,
it's always about you!

Every time, everything... you.

Okay, honey, it's just, you
know, sometimes parents fight.

And it doesn't mean
they don't love each other.

You know, you two
are gonna get along great.

- Terrific car, Camaro.
- Yeah.

Used to call them "Detroit Diamonds."

Tamin' the pavement
with an eight-cylinder backhand?

Oh, it's the motorcycle of cars.

You wanna grab a beer?

[Chuckles]

Yeehaw!

- [Horn honks]
- Out of my way!

Her fault.

[Horse snorts]

All right. Well, I think we have
ourselves a... post.

And yet, this remains,
which will haunt me forever.

[Horse snorts]

Okay. You got me. [Chuckles]

Denise! Are you okay?

Did you really think
a pony was just gonna

gallop into this town
without me knowing?

What did I miss?

Well, uh... he ate a magazine.

Oh, no, no, no.

This back yard is
way too big for a pony.

We don't want him to feel small.

[Gasps] We should build

a whole pony-sized town
to boost his self-confidence!

Hey, little guy.

You're gonna be the mayor of Ponytown!

I'm gonna get the tools.

I got a bad feeling about this.

Oh, no, I won't hear of it.
Hell, why don't you

What about your daughter?

Oh, no, she never sleeps in her own bed.

She's always in that old

She didn't even notice it.

Good kid, though.

I did not mean to spook you.

Then I would recommend less
sneaking up on me.

Can I help you, here in my private yard?

Well, I believe you can.

Now, seems you're minus a pony,

and I barely missed one
with my truck about a mile back.

Seemed I swerved
and ended up in a ditch,

so I was wondering
if you'd call a tow truck?

Oh, God. Absolutely. I'm so sorry.

Ah, ponywise, did you happen to see
which direction it was headed?

Oh, you don't have to
go lookin' for him.

Well, he'll come back
on his own. [Chuckles]

It's Leon.

There's been a m*rder.

Okay. Be right there.

I'm gonna call you
that truck from the car.

[Chuckles]

Calling the truck from a car.

Modern women. [Laughs]

Doh!

Well, now, Leon, this...
this isn't a m*rder.

Look at those bite marks.
This is an animal att*ck.

Maybe that's what the k*ller
wants you to think?

Here, look at this.

What am I looking at?

That's my rendering of the suspect.

Why does he have big, bushy sideburns?

Why does any man, Evie?

It's a sign of power.

All right, listen...
We got to call the meat wagon

and, uh... all of these got to go
back through the wash.

Hey. Stan.

I tried calling, but,

Why is he here?

Kenny? He's just crashing
out here for a few days.

Great guy.

Big mistake lettin' that one go.

Okay, you really need to stay
out of my personal life.

What makes you think
this is all about you?

Maybe I'm just fed up
with all the women in this dump.

Kenny's a guy. I'm a guy. We're guys.

We went shopping
for cargo shorts yesterday.

We were in and out in seconds.

No tryin' 'em on, no pricin' 'em.

We just grabbed 'em, paid,
and got lost like men.

Aah!

Well, you mean like men

I want to put the Barret

Did you forget you're engaged?

She's not the one.

So she dumped you?

I prefer to think
that I let her dump me,

but it did come as a big surprise.

Well, Kenny...
this is never going to happen.

I've never been afraid of a challenge.

Except when there are stakes.

Kenny, the toothpaste is
out of the tube, okay?

And the reason the toothpaste
is out of the tube

is because the toothpaste
had sex with our neighbor.

Everybody needs toothpaste.

What are you...
That was not an invitation!

The answer is no!

No! What... What is it?!
