An American Carol Page #9
We're the kind of people
that get things done
No doubt about it, folks
We got the nerve
We got the nerve
We got the will
We got the will
We are all together
And you know
that we are still America
Yeah, I know the sun
is risin' on a better day
America, America
[music fades to fifes playing]
America, America
Yeah, I believe in you
New York City!
Whoo!
There is mosh pit?
Not in country music.
Aah! Oh!
Oh!
America, America
Ooh, ooh...
Josh.
Josh! Josh!
Huh?
Josh, Josh!
Josh, Josh!
Carry on.
[Timmy] Daddy, look who's here.
- Uncle A**hole!
- Josh!
Josh!
Can you forgive your stupid uncle
what's been right in front of him
this whole time?
Oh, nice! Blind jokes!
Uncle Michael, it's OK.
Well, I just want you to know
that I care about you, and...
...l'm proud of what you're doin'.
I always knew that, Uncle Michael.
I always knew it.
Well, now you take care of yourself,
'cause there's a lot
of bad people out there.
It's OK. As long as there's
a lot of good people here.
If there's anything I can do...
Maybe I can send
some DVDs of my movies.
That's all right.
We captured a lot of them
when we took Saddam's palace.
Besides, I think most
of the guys prefer features.
But I'd really appreciate it
if you could check in on Lily
and the kids while I'm gone.
Yeah, I will. No problem.
You've made Josh so happy.
- Thanks, Jilly.
- Lily.
Welcome to the fight, Uncle Michael.
This time I know our side will win.
- Ow!
- Ow!
Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
[Muffled screams]
Ow!
- [Boy] Help!
- [Gasps]
Aah!
Aah!
Don't worry, Josh!
- [Screams]
- I'll take care of the family!
Thought I'd find you here.
He's a good kid.
Persian Gulf, volunteered.
I feel so useless.
What can I do?
Well, you could start by being
as big a pain in the ass to
the terrorists as you've been to us.
Like makin' a movie
of the good things about America.
In Hollywood? Fat chance.
Sorry for bein' such a jerk.
Sorry I made you listen
to country music.
Ah, forget it.
Hey, you want to grab a sandwich?
I'd love to. Used to get
a good pastrami in Manhattan.
Before you got t-boned by that car.
It was a spinal injury, right?
[Patton] Tough day.
Didn't see that comin'.
[Malone] What do you think
about stem cell research?
[Patton] Let's not go there.
A broken neck is a broken neck...
[Grandpa] From then on,
he always remembered to celebrate
the Fourth of July,
and he did what he could
to help out the soldiers.
But most important, he devoted himself
to spreading a message of his hero.
My fellow Americans,
My fellow Americans,
ask not what your country
can do for you,
but rather, ask, uh...
Uh... line!
You know, I don't think JFK
would say this like that.
- It's become such a...
- "What you can do for your country!"
Oh, cut!
What are we gonna do?
Fire his ass.
That's my boy.
God bless us, everyone.
[Malone and Timmy]
And God bless America!
[Grandpa] And it turned out
people actually wanted to see movies
that showed good things about America.
- [girl] Grandpa!
- Oh, Grandpa, come on.
Hey. It's just a story.
[Kennedy] My fellow Americans,
ask not what your country
can do for you,
but rather ask what you can do
for your country.
[Malone] Cut! Print!
[ Trace Adkins:
America I Believe In You]
[ Whiskey Falls:
Hellbilly]
