- It's crab night, babyyyy!

[CRACKING]

Mmm! Mmm. Mmm.

KLAUS: Boy, do I love crab season.

- Anyone get any meat?
- ALL: No.

That fish monger at Whole
Foods made a fool of you again!

Godangit!

[WHIRRING]

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]

[WHIRRING STOPS]

Anyone wanna go in on soup dumplings?
I have a code.

Can't. I have a troop meeting.

Since when are you
involved with girl scouts?

I've been working with
this down-and-out troop

for a couple weeks now.

It's been so fulfilling to give back

because girls really do
face so many obstacles.

Never run into that myself.

Plus, I get to give
the support I never got

when I was a girl scout.

You were in girl scouts?

[HARP TWINKLES]

I just got my archery badge!

Uh-huh. I'm busy.

We just won the big jamboree!

Can't you see I'm trying to
enjoy this night with my jar?

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

I'm quitting girl scouts.

You don't care about it,
and neither do I.

- You're quitting what, now?
- Girl scouts!

[HARP TWINKLES]

You were in girl scouts?

Yes! I was!

But you completely missed it

because you never pay attention to me.

It's true, Stan.

You don't pay attention
to either of your kids.

If I pay too close attention,
I notice all their faults.

Like, look at Steve.

I'm looking at him, and all I see

is that scrawny body and little chin.

He has glasses.
His eyes don't work right.

And I hate the frames he chose.
They don't work for his face...

STEVE: [THINKING] Oof.
This is pretty rough stuff.


Thankfully I can retreat
into my rich fantasy life.


I wonder what it would be like
to be the wizard Merlin...


Ziz secretary...

[TWINKLING]

Running low on quills.

I know he likes the gray quills.
Says they write more smoothly.

And if Merlin says they're smooth,
then smooth they are.

Oh, Merl.

MERLIN: [SINGSONG VOICE] Steve!

Ah! I just want to make sure my robe

is back from the launderer, hm?

Got that big soiree with
Lancelot and Arthur tonight.

The robe? Of course!

The robe's handled.

Magical.

[TWINKLING]

STAN: ...he's constantly daydreaming...

I forgot the robe!

And now he's forgotten the robe.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

You can't leave, sir.

- Sir, that's a cat.

I'm writing you a ticket.

I'm allowed to crash into the flagpole!

Tell him, Dimitri!

What?! First,

and now a judge?!

Your assignment

is to clean the outhouses at the rodeo.

Noooooo!

You don't have to freak out,

I'm not married to

What you got?

Umm...

There's a girl scout
troop I could help with.

Mmmm! Mama likey!

Dad, I'm so excited you're finally

doing girl scouts with me!

Okay, let me introduce you to our troop.

- This is Lissy.
- Whatever.

- Dana.
- Not gonna remember that.

I'm not here to make friends.

I'm here to not clean outhouses.

I'll be napping for a week
while you do dumb girly stuff.

Dad, girl scouts isn't all
what you call "girly stuff."

We do empowering things
like camping, archery...

People or targets?

Well, targets of course.

- Snooze!
- Plus robotics and engineering.

Lissy, why don't you show new

Coors light?

Here's an opportunity for
you to support the girls,

and you are just sleeping
through it again!

[SIGHS] I'm glad this is your last day.

I was waiting and waiting,
and I hear a knock...

A knock, a knock on the door!

But it was my mom.

[CHUCKLES]

I was washing the dishes
and reading the newspaper

when I hear a knock, a knock,
a knock on the door.

But it was... the mailman.

[LAUGHING]

I opened the door, it was...

Cecelia and Tanya!

[APPLAUSE]

[LAUGHS] What? Oh, my God!

It was four girls the whole time!

I thought it was just two girls,
but it was four!

Did you know?! How are you sitting?!

Rise!

Congratulations on participating.

What?! They didn't take first?!

Oh, I get it.
You're saying girls can't be funny.

- Dad, be quiet!
- Now you're telling me what to do?!

I-I'm making a... connection.

[GRUNTING]

- [APPLAUSE]
- I got it!

Girls are told by society
what they can and can't do!

Just like I was told I couldn't
crash into the flagpole!

Hayley, have you ever
stopped to consider

what it would be like
to live as a woman?

The challenges they face?

Dad, that's what I...

Not now! The stars are coming.

Even though I completed
my hours of service,

I'm going to stick around

and do everything I
can to help my girls.

Your girls?

Yes.

- GIRLS: Mmm!
- Yes.

♪♪

I know that being a man
and leading this troop

of future SHE-EOs is
intrinsically problematic.

So I'm not here to talk.
I'm here to listen.

- Hayley?
- Today we're going to finish up

- our keepsake pillows, take...
- One second.

I don't want to interrupt
because I know men

tend to interrupt, but eww!

Ugh! Making pillows?!

These girls shouldn't be
sewing pillows like homemakers.

They should be making pills,
like scientists!

The biggest pills the
world has ever seen,

pills the size of pillows that
k*ll the craziest diseases.

Girls, if you didn't have
Hayley's glass ceiling

in your way, what would you do?

Mmmm! Pony camp?

Pony camp!

- Wow!
- That sounds fun!

No! Ponies are still small horses!

You need to think big!

I would go to the national girl scouts

robotics convention
in Baraboo, Wisconsin,

and compete for the golden beret!

Holy [BLEEP]! That's it!

I don't know what it is, but it's it!

Whoa, whoa! I think
we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Hayley, are you mansplaining to me?

- Women can't mansplain.
- Wow.

You got a whole long list
of things women can't do.

Girls, we are going to go
to that convention,

we are going to win that beret,

and I'm gonna look great in it!

[GIRLS CHEER]

I get it.

But we don't even have enough
money to make dues right now.

Maybe if we bring in
enough from cookie sales?

- Cookies?
- Girl scout cookies.

Your big idea is cookies?

Oh, like little Susie
Homemaker baking for the boys.

Why don't we just put them
in skirts, Hayley?

That's what we do.

Oh, my God!

If we're going to make money,
we need to saturate the market

with something that
shatters gender norms.

That sketch proved your
strong suit is legs.

What other legs are there?

Crab legs, spider legs,
piano legs, turkey legs.

Turkey legs?!

[LAUGHTER]

Yes! That's it!

Turkey legs!
Great big ones you get at the fair!

That idea gets my approving laughter,
as well!

That was a disaster!

We didn't even sell a single leg!

You just kept handing money back

Yeah, I'm afraid what happened there

was a classic quick-change scam.

He took me for , dollars.

No. The legs are disgusting.

But the boys down on the docks

I want to buy the patent.

spend a lot of money on it.

Can't lose.

These were iron-ons?!

Wow, I expected more
from a robe made by...

H&M?!

Ugh!

You want me to hack into the troop's

lazercoin account and drain the funds.

- Why?
- So that Dad will look like a failure

and leave the troop in shame.

- But won't that hurt the girls?
- Only at first.

It'll be way worse if Dad takes them

all the way to Nationals
and humiliates them.

May I articulate a theme here?

Are you sure you're not
jealous of the girls?

Stan has been showing
them the love and support

you never received when
you were a girl scout.

Perhaps this is why you feel
the need to sabotage them.

That's ridiculous!
I'm doing this for those little b*tches!

Well, let's get Jurgen to hack them.

I don't know anything about computers.
