the proud owners of this a tow truck and

a Mexican guy the sweet sweet ride he's

towing what did you do I got us a muscle

car baby I've always wanted to fix up

one of these and now I'm gonna really

name one thing that you wanted to fix

and actually fixed name one thing i said

i was going to fix and didn't lam this

drill this table and that's just what i

can see do you want me to turn around

and continued no these patrols this is

my dream oh you drive this car in your

dream that claims all the backfiring i

hear every night Oh sister of my lover

very right we'll see you later honey

have fun working on your video Oh your

Foghat cover bands make it a video Oh

actually Perry's decided to make a video

of one of his original song yeah it's

going to rock it starts with me on a

great wall of china yeah I'm singing

into this mirror and then my mirror

image steps out of the mirror starts

singing backup vocals then the mirror

shatters tiny versions of me come flying

out hello hello

a message all peoples of the world can

coexist in peace it gives you chills

done it makes me shudder I'll see you

later DK ha music video sounds expensive

I know but Perry through the pressure of

having some of our money on the line

will force him to write a really great

song which he hasn't even written the

song yet uh it's his process Judy he

says he does his best work when it backs

against the wall that'd be a padded wall

duty this is his dream I understand but

should he be thrown away your money when

you're trying to say for a wedding I

don't know maybe it right of course I am

I mean if this guy is going to be your

husband you have to set him straight I

mean guys are not that bright Judy I

think you stripped the socket righty

tighty bill oh it changed it but the guy

who was going to rebuild a car that

reminds me Linda builds cars in the shop

can you give him a ride to work this

week depends I mean does he have to ride

in the car with me are kind of strapped

into the hood like a dead deer he's

right not even a dead deer of 10 ride

with her fine you two don't want to

carpool you can go back to doing your

laundry to laundromat and you can walk

to work fine maybe we will yeah you're

not the boss of us Judy thinks she's the

boss of us

I think she's so smart I could walk to

work if I wanted him you want her stupid

Judy yeah she's kind of a pain but you

know she'd give me some pretty good

advice the other day what's that well

carrie wants to do this music video but

Judy says I should just tell him no I

know it's his dream well hold on your

talent Perry not to follow his dreams

because of something Judy said let me

tell you something about Julie she's a

dream Squasher check the bottoms of her

shoes covered in my dreams do you think

I should let them do it there's some

guys need encouragement you think mrs.

Columbus ever said to Christopher don't

discover the new world we're fine with

the spices we have they know to this and

Terry might hold it against you forever

you know what I think you're right i'm

going to just tell him to go for it

thank you Bill you're welcome you know I

know we have our differences and we give

each other a lot of guff but the truth

is I'm proud to have you as oka somebody

I know try that

Oh

hey wait where's bill you didn't

remember to bring him home right yes

he'll be right in he just got distracted

by something on the way from the car

we're beer nope no I can't stay Perry

wants me to look at the storyboards for

his video oh I thought you were gonna

tell him that was a bad idea actually um

i decided i would tell Perry i'm behind

him one hundred percent what why well i

got a second opinion what kind of idiot

would tell you to do that i just traded

scarves with a neighbor's snowman I

think it's cashmere you gotta be kiddin

look his advice worked as soon as I told

Perry I supported his dreams he stayed

up all night and wrote a song he's even

got to manage or interested in him

really that's right Judy despite your

best efforts to squash his dreams the

man rose to the occasion turns out

you're not always right how does it feel

so that's what this is all about you're

still sore at me for not letting you buy

that's to because you're giving my

sister bad advice okay Judy probably

shouldn't be so tough on Bill he's

rather insightful when it comes to the

male psyche hear that Judy insightful

fully insight and you're gonna listen to

him why shouldn't you know you've had 38

years to fix this poor woman's life and

look at her she's a mess no offense none

taken you're right oh so now I'm the

cause of everything that's gone wrong in

Linda's life all I'm saying is maybe you

should have a little more faith in me

that I can fix an old rusted-out shell

of a thing be in a muscle car or a

system once again no offense no but

getting closer you know what you want to

listen to him you want to give her

advice go ahead knock yourselves out I'm

sure to work out great well I just want

to say thank you though for me and this

poor pathetic barely functioning

[Music]

okay I think I cleaned your sideburns up

pretty good have a look oh great yeah do

my eyebrows a little uneven to you I

don't know maybe a little but you know a

girl would have to be really close to

notice that's the goal here you get her

clothes I won't take it from there

you're gonna have to hold really still

okay oh wait wait come on he's coming up

okay past okay okay good very delicate

you just can't go snapping right on the

middle of it kind of funny I got out

complacency can you see what everything

where's Judy why ah because we need to

talk to her thanks to you my life is

falling apart and screwed up everything

possibly happened it's so bad you

consider crawling back to Judy Terry

wants to postpone the wedding and risk

our entire savings on pursuing some

stupid pipe dream of becoming a rock

star okay okay I can handle it just just

let me think maybe I should get some

coffee I'm gonna need some cream

[Laughter]

need some more okay I'm gonna talk to

make you eat those words I hardly think

fix your life that's p*rn stupid gas on

crazy fire I think words helpless as you

here on your big fat zero hold on hold

make him a star then old Billy's advice

looking pretty good awful slim regaining

your head on Pancho did it a lot of

people said Mozart was no good when he

started out nobody said daddy was a

prodigy when he's like three yeah well

I'm talking about when he was like two I

got a good feeling about Terry song I'm

going with the old bill instinct you say

people did you keep gonna have a long

night repairing every day all night very

every day hairy ass this is your new

original song ya might add doesn't it

yeah yeah I should caught that

yeah well managers say something I will

little busy got some vacancies in the

that so when you said you had a manager

team I mean my agent heard it he loved

it now let me get somebody who told you

insurance no legitimate agent since

people on vacations all over the world

this whole video thing in what way like

maybe not doing it what you know you can

have a video if you don't have a song

is a pipe dream oh yeah I said that so

you do think it sucks I don't chill

everything under control dude you gotta

help us out here she can't help you

Linda there's only one reason that I

haven't fixed this situation and it's

this it can't be fixed unfixable Perry

it slow you know wait for inspiration

place small clubs try stuff out in front

of people yeah I can live with that i

mean the great balls not going anywhere

to speak your mind I know I was just

thinking not right now not right now if

Carrie does something that you don't

agree with you need to tell them that's

what marriage is all about guys give and

take yes you're right whoa whoa whoa

whoa whoa whoa hang on you're just

telling our disk washes dreams but it's

not that simple duty if you don't let a

guy follow his dreams he'll always

regret what might have been oh really

like the time you wanted to build that

treehouse casino because you didn't

think it was subject to the laws of the

ground that's the stupidest thing I've

ever heard bill a little advice stay out

of the advice business and I got some

advice for you ok I love you 601 love it
