04x15 - Super Bowl Fever

[bunniefuu]

Everybody knows Super Bowl Sunday
is the holiest day of the year.

Come on, Al. Three steps back, go wide.
Come on, buddy!

Nice catch.

How many times do l have to tell you
that is not funny?

Couple more, maybe.

Super Bowl Sunday's not about throwing a
ball at Al's chest, although l love doing that.

lt's about stuffing your face
in front of a TV.

Right. Here to tell us about that
are three players from the Detroit Lions,

with their favorite Super Bowl recipes.

At linebacker,
six foot one, pounds,

sporting a tuna noodle casserole,

let's give a big hand
for Chris Spielman!

- Hey, Chris.
- Al.

At quarterback,
six one, pounds,

carrying a south-of-the-border
seven-layer bean dip,

- Dave Krieg!
- Ol‚, Dave!

And certainly last,
but not the smallest,

defensive end,
pounds, six-foot four,

with a secret Super Bowl stew,
Kelvin Pritchett. Come on out, Kelvin!

And wearing a nice throw rug,
l might add.

You guys, it's nice you took time out
to bring some recipes in.

And maybe one of these years,
you'll get the recipe for the Super Bowl!

What's that supposed to mean?

l... l don't know.
Al made me say it.

l... l did not.
l did not!

OK. Kelvin, can you give the audience
just an example of some of the ingredients

in your supersecret
Super Bowl stew?

The two main ingredients
are oysters and Spam.

Well, l guess the secret is why
anybody'd want to taste that combination.

Sorry, Pritch.

- How many does that serve, Kelvin?
- One.

So, Chris, why don't you tell us some
of the ingredients in your tuna casserole?

Well, Tim, l only use the finest white-chunk
albacore packed in fresh spring water.

Well, perhaps you complement it with
maybe a special type of gourmet cheese?

Uh, yes, l do.
The cheese in a spray can.

OK.

Dave, how spicy
is that bean dip of yours, buddy?

lt's not too spicy at all.

lt's got a little...

Uh, sorry, l lied.
Think of it as a quarterback sneak.

Well, joking aside, guys...
who's gonna come out on top this Sunday?

- No contest. My stew, by three helpings.
- Your stew can't handle my tuna.

- My beans'll blow you out of the water.
- (they all talk at once)

lt's teamwork like this that guarantees
the Lions'll never be in the Super Bowl.

We'll be right back
after these words from Binford Tools.

- Hey, Dad.
- Brad.

(Brad) Uh-oh.

A ladder, exposed wires, and Dad.

No good can come from this.

l'm just hooking up my surround sound
speakers for my Super Bowl party.

We're gonna go to Jeremy's and watch it
on his new -inch big screen.

Big deal.
You're missing some great food.

Larry's bringing a three-cheese pizza,
Harry's bringing big sausages,

and Pete's bringing nachos with
extra cream cheese. (grunts)

Who's bringing the cardiologist?

Dad, Dad, you better come see Mom.
She doesn't look so good.

Well, then why would l
want to go see her?

Because she's moaning real loud
and calling your name.

That's always been a dream of mine.

Honey?

(muled) Tim, l think l'm dying.

(mimics Jill) Jill,
l can't understand a thing you said.

- Oh, my God, it's .
- Ooh.

Just threw up last night's lasagna.

Boy, it tasted bad coming up.

Didn't taste all that good going down.

Thanks a lot.

Honey, l know how important
this Super Bowl party thing is to you,

but l'm really gonna need you
to take care of me today.

OK.

Um...

Just use the intercom to call me,
and l'll come up during commercials.

Let me rephrase that.

l don't want you
to have the party today.

l've been planning this for a long time.
lt's a tradition.

- You never had one before.
- Well, traditions start someplace.

Tim, l have a temperature of .

According to a thermometer!

Look, l'm burning up,
l feel horrible,

l don't want a bunch of guys
over here making noise.

Look, l'll take care of you. Um...

You won't take care of me. You'll be down
there the whole time. l'll never see you.

l'll show you. l'll keep those guys so quiet
you won't know they're here.

Please, please, please?

Oh, have your stupid party.

Thanks.

Whew!

You are hot.

(doorbell rings)

(blows horn)

Tim, it's gonna be a great game.
Those Niners are gonna kick butt!

- Hello, Tim.
- Hi, Tim! Hello, Tim!

- We gotta keep it down, guys.
- Good idea. Save our tooting for the game.

- Maybe we keep our tooting to ourselves.
- What are you talking about?

Well, maybe when there's a big play,
we all act like mimes.

What?

You know, l love mimes. Especially
when they get caught in that box.

Al, stay in the box, will you?

(Jill) Tim? I think I'm gonna throw up

- ls Jill sick?
- No, she just doesn't like mimes.

You're having us over for a party when
Jill's sick? That's not very considerate.

Yeah. How are we supposed to have
a good time if we can't make any noise?

- We could've all gone over to Harry's.
- No, we couldn't. She wouldn't let me go.

So because of you, we all have
to mime our way through the Super Bowl?

lt's not that bad a deal.
Come on.

We got lots of good food, we're all together.
lt'll be a great game. We'll have lots of fun.

Yeah, but Tim, what about
the surround sound you promised us?

You want surround sound? Sit between
these two guys after a couple of sausages.

(horns blo)

(Super Bowl plays on TV/all yell)

- Yeah!
- All right!

(shouting)

(Jill) Tim! Hey. Tim.
it's getting really noisy down there

Yeah, yeah. All right, yeah. Guys,
l told you, you got to keep it down. Please?

Well, Tim, he just broke three tackles.
We're very excited.

OK! When you get
excited now, do this.

(silence)

l am uncomfortable about having a party
while Jill's upstairs with the stomach flu.

Yeah, l'm sick about it myself.
Toss me another sausage, will you?

With your heart condition, wouldn't you
rather have some raw vegetable medley?

lt's very good with this nonfat dip.
Go on.

Yeah, that's all l want -
a little dip from a big dip!

Now, come on. Larry, would you talk
some sense into him? You're a doctor.

l'm a neurosurgeon. As long as he doesn't
put the sausage on his head, l don't care.

(# ''Lara's Theme'' from ''Doctor hivago''
plays on TV)

What are you watching?
Oh, it's Doctor Winnebago. isn't it?

lt's ''Zhivago.''

Look what l made for you.
Jell-O with extra wobble.

l'm too woozy for wobbling.

You just womited, didn't you?

- This'll help settle your stomach.
- Honey, l can't. l can't eat.

You gotta eat something. Well, l get credit
for trying. lf you need anything else, holler.

- Would you give me a backrub?
- A what rub?

l always have time to give my wife
a backrub. Hold on a minute.

- Yo, anybody?
- (Pete) Yo. Tim

Yeah, how much time l got?

- (Pete) I figure ten seconds
- Got ya.

You said even though the guys are over
you'd still take care of me.

l am taking care of you.

Oh, that's good.
You have such great hands.

- (Larry) Oh, no!
- (Benny) He coughed it up!

Tim! Where are you going?

- Somebody coughed something up.
- Tim! Tim...

lt could be Harry.
He might be having another heart att*ck.

(Al) All right! Hey!
He recovered.

lt's OK. Thank God, Harry's all right.
Talk to you later.

- Get him, get him, get him!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah!

(cheering)

- Every time.
- What did l miss?

Oh, a fumble.
But then only the catch of the year, Tim!

- Aw, man.
- They're on the -yard line.

Hey, hey, Tim, come on.
Can we put on the surround sound?

No, no. l talked to you about my wife.
Come on, guys.

(Jill) Tim? Tim.
can you bring me some more tissues?

Why can't she blow her nose
on the top sheet like everybody else does?

- He's going all the way!
- Get it! Get it!

Oh!

Hey, Benny, turn on the surround sound
just for the touchdown.

Not too loud.

ls this the one?

Hey, Benny!

Let me guess.
You hooked it up yourself?

- There's nothing on the TV.
- Tim, we need a TV.

- (Tim) Yeah...
- There's gotta be one upstairs.

- Let's go!
- (Tim) Wait, wait, wait.

l can fix this.

Right!

Jill, sorry to inconvenience you.

We're at a critical juncture in the game.
Could we just use your remote?

Come on, you guys, listen.
Jill, we're... Would you...?

Wait a minute.
This is where Omar Sharif proposes.

- Give me that!
- Just change the channel.

- Come on, my wife... Turn it off.
- They're about to score!

Tim? May l please
speak to you under here?

Guys, after this,
we're getting out of here.

- Hi, honey.
- Why are these men in my bedroom?

- lt's a touchdown.
- Why don't they watch it downstairs?

- Now, that's a funny story...
- l don't want to hear a funny story.

You told me that if they came over here,
l wouldn't have to see them.

Can you see them?

Touchdown!

l missed it.
l missed everything.

After the replay
we're getting out of here, Jill.

Hey, Jill.
Would you like some hot sausage?

lt'll sweat the fever right out of you.

Jill, stay there. We're gonna
get everybody out of here. Honey? Honey?

Honey?

(whistle blows)

Why didn't you just cancel this party?

Why couldn't you just take care of me?
Why do you always do things like this?

You ask interesting questions, honey.
What are your theories?

That you are an idiot. And l am a bigger
idiot for letting you talk me into this stuff.

Those guys only went upstairs
because our TV exploded.

What are the chances
of that happening?

ln this house?

- l had everything under control.
- You are just so selfish!

You only take care of me when it doesn't
interfere with your schedule. Oh, God!

- That's not true.
- Yes, it is true.

Well, how about when you went to that
hardware convention, and l had laryngitis?

You never said anything.

Well, what about
when l had my wisdom teeth out?

Brad emptied my spit bucket.
Randy changed the gauze.

Mark mashed my food.
What exactly did you do?

Someone had to get the TV Guide

You're so pathetic! You know, you take
better care of your car than you do of me.

Taking care of the car is like taking care
of you. What if you were so sick l...?

l am sick!

And you know what?
l think that you resent me for that. You do.

l don't resent you for that. l just wonder
why you get sick on Super Bowl Sunday.

- Go, go, go!
- Get it! Get it!

All right, let's go. We told Jill
we'd leave after the first touchdown.

- We can't go now, it's just getting exciting.
- No, you gotta go now. Come on.

Jill's gotta get back in bed, guys.

All right, she can have the bed.
But we get the TV.

This is not a hostage situation.
Come on, guys.

l know. We'll take the TV
and set it up downstairs.

No, you won't, come on. She wants
to watch the rest of Doctor Lumbago

''Zhivago.''
''Doctor Zhivago.''

l got another TV.
We'll watch this down in the den.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Are you nuts?

You expect us to watch the biggest game
of the year on the world's smallest TV?

l'll have you know the reception
on here is great. Look at this. Huh? Huh?

- Look at the pass. Look.
- Unbelievable.

He must have thrown the ball
a quarter of an inch.

That's the end of the half. What say we
go over to Big Mike's, watch the rest there?

- Yeah, that's a great idea.
- You can't go over there. Hey...

Pete, Larry, Harry. You're not
gonna leave me here alone, are you?

Listen, l'll stay.

Nah, go ahead.

Go! Go! Go!

Touchdown!

Who needs a big screen TV, huh?

Three, fifty. l got...
l just need some batteries.

Oh, come on, not now!

Come on, please, please, please.

- Yo, Wilson. You got any batteries?
- Yo!

Why, l certainly do, Tim. l got Cs, Ds. l got
nine volts. l have one made out of a potato.

Regular or alkaline?

ldaho.

- l need some AAs, four of 'em.
- Tim, l'm so sorry. l'm all out of those.

Great! Perfect day.

All l wanted to do today was do what every
other guy's doing, watch the Super Bowl.

Oh, is that today?

Yeah, it's today. Jill's all bent out of shape.
Kicked my friends out.

l had some guys over,
she didn't like it 'cause she got flu.

Mm. l've got a touch of that myself, Tim.
That's why l'm boiling up some bees.

Yeah. Boy, l'd swear l just heard you say
''boiling up some bees.''

(chuckles)

Well, you know, l did. See, you steep
the bees for minutes in boiling water.

Then you drink the liquid.
lt's an ancient Chinese remedy for nausea.

Sounds like an ancient Chinese
cause of nausea.

No, no, no, no, no, Tim.
lt makes a very delightful bee tea.

The best part is,
you don't have to add honey. (chuckles)

Maybe l should whip some up for Jill.

She doesn't think
l take care of her very well.

Well, Tim, it's not uncommon
for men to have difficulty being nurturers.

Yeah, tell me about it.

When l was seven years old, a little
sparrow fell out of a tree in our backyard.

l tried to make it feel better. l stroked
its little head for four hours, you know.

- Oh. What happened?
- l think l pet it too hard.

One of the eyes popped right out.

- But l buried it in a nice shoebox.
- At least you made the effort, Tim.

Do you have any extra bees?

Well, l surely do.
See, l always buy them in bulk.

- l'll pay you for any l use.
- Don't worry about that, Tim.

Just consider these ''free bees.''

Feeling better?

No.

You'll feel better
when you see what l got you.

- What did you get me?
- Going with your doctor theme, l got...

Dr No

Let's see, uh, Doctor Dolittle

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Doctor Naughty and the Night Nurses
Oops!

But l also spent an hour making this
special tea. lt's supposed to cure nausea.

l think you'll love it.
lt's real hot, be careful.

- Does it have caffeine in it?
- No.

Good, 'cause l don't
want to get a buzz.

You might get a buzz.
You might even get hives.

That tea's made out of boiled bees.

Oh, come on. lt's an ancient Chinese
remedy for nausea. Wilson gave it to me.

lt's not easy working with bees,
let me tell you. Look at that.

Some of those bees were still alive.

Oh, Tim.

ls this your idea of taking care of me?

lt's better than rubbing your head for four
hours, and ending up dead in a shoebox.

Tim...

All l want is for you to be attentive and
comfort me. Why is that so hard for you?

l don't know.
l feel so useless when you're sick.

When something's broken, l like to take it
apart and fix it. But l can't do that with you.

You'd probably
put me back together wrong.

Maybe. Probably end up
with an eye down there by your knee.

A nose in your eye. Then you could
smell what you're looking at.

l can work on being more attentive.

How's that back?

lt's aching.

- You got a lot of knots back there.
- Yeah. That feels good.

(phone rings)

Hello?

l can barely hear you.
Hi, Benny.

They won? l didn't even see it.
That's great.

Yeah?

Big Mike's Super Bowl party, huh?

Best one you've ever been to, huh?

No, l'm staying here.
l'm nurturing my wife.

l'm real happy.

Thanks. Bye.

- Thank you, honey.
- Yeah.

Best party ever.

l'm real happy.

Honey, that's too hard!

- Hey, Mom.
- Hi.

Uh-oh.

Food, a pot, and Mom.

No good can come from this.

- ln that case, get your own breakfast.
- All right! Cookies and ice cream.

- ln your dreams.
- Mom, Mom!

You better come and see Dad.
He doesn't look so good.

Then why would l want to see him?

(muled) Jill, l think l'm dying.

(mimics Tim) Tim,
l can't understand a word you said.

Oh, my God! . ?

We're gonna have to ice you down!

l like fixing things, taking things apart, and
l can't do that with you, and fix you, and...

- l want you to be attentive...
- (audience giggling)

Shut up!
l'm trying to work here!

Tim, all l want
is for you to be attentive and comfort me.

Why is that so...?
