There's another L for you, see?

Hey, have you had

your breakfast today?

Most important meal of the day.

Thanks, Henry.

Is Kevin around?

Yup. He's out on the field.

Because I wanted to talk to him

about his yields.

You know, growing strong,

living long.

Maybe, uh, talk about some

purchases for next season.

That's not necessary.

I know it's not necessary,

but it's just something

that I like to do.

# I think I'll

make it Sooner or later #

# We all might make it

When I'm older ##"

I gotta break it to you, we're

going with Jim Johnson and Sons.

Right, but I thought maybe

if I could just talk to Kevin in person...

But he's out in the field.

Say hi to Irene.

And we read about Grant in the paper.

The mountain thing.

The mountain thing, that boy

is a real adventure seeker.

We're really proud of him.

So are we. Bye, now.

You have a good day.

You in the mood for a Butter-finger?

Give me one.

Well, I'm glad you're happy

because I wanted to come over here,

I wanted to check in with you.

It seems there's been

some sort of switcheroo

over here in Decatur.

Yeah. I switched.

People say you're losing it.

Actually, Henry's bringing bad

news, didn't know how to break it.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah?

You see, farms in this area have

had some switches in temperature

and Henry wanted to walk

the fields with you to make sure

everything was okay

with your crops.

Who's this?

I'm his intern. Cadence Farrow.

Jim Johnson and Sons aren't here

walking the crops with you?

Is that any way to treat

a customer?

No, Cadence. It isn't.

Well, sister, around here

we don't walk the crops,

we ride them. Troy,

get the mud hogs.

You were good today, Cadence.

Your job is like a game.

You know, I used to think like

that too when I was starting out.

Oh, can you actually drop me off

at 3rd Street? I'm meeting Dean.

I guess he's got a lot going on

right now with his racing.

What?

Aren't you gonna ask me

to help you save Decatur again?

Well, I thought

you already signed up.

Hee-hoo.

Cyclones star quarterback

Henry Whipple

up against head cheerleader

Meredith Crown.

He takes the ball.

Looks left, he fakes right,

and then he scores a touchdown

right up the middle. Ha-ha-ha.

Stoli O. That's my favorite.

Mm.

We need to go back in and celebrate

the demise of Jim Johnson.

I need two more customers

and then Decatur will be mine.

Oh, not so fast.

We have some negotiations.

Oh, yeah, fast.

Heh, heh.

Let's get some ice.

Okay.

Wide Parisian

boulevards lead to famous landmarks.

The Pantheon.

The Old Opera.

And the Arc de Triomphe.

Evening, honey.

Wouldn't it be nice to finally see Paris?

We could visit the wine vineyards.

Maybe we should take a

vacation, just you and me.

That would be nice.

We can't. Work calls.

We could go during

the slow part of the season.

Uh, something might happen.

It usually does.

I'm going to bed.

But you have time

to take off work for Meredith.

I know you've been

sleeping with her.

I don't know

who's been telling you what,

but that is an out-and-out lie.

And it's probably by people

who are jealous of us.

I love you, Henry.

And you make me feel

like an idiot for it every day.

# Come on #

# If you need a little rhythm

To shake away the blues #

# If you wanna knock the shine

Off your brand-new shoes #

I AH you gotta do

Is leave your troubles at the door a'

# One thing I can tell you

# Sing, hey

Hey O ##

Whoo!

Brian.

- Donna, how are you?

- Fine, how are you?

You got the whole family

out today?

You having a good time?

What are you eating, a dog?

We need you to come out

because it's that time of year:

Customer Appreciation Day

for being a great customer.

Bring the family.

Yeah.

All our family will be there.

- The more the merrier.

- It's good to see you.

- Thanks for being a great customer.

- Have fun. Root for number 25.

Good luck, man, I'll see you out there.

Thank you.

Sorry to bother you. Would you mind

getting a photo with my brother?

- No. Come here, buddy.

- He's a little shy.

What's your name?

Keith.

Keith, I'm Dean.

Hey.

Really, he's like obsessed

with you.

Um...

Um... Got it.

Thank you.

And good luck today.

- Yeah. Nice to meet you, buddy.

- Come on, Keith.

Henry.

Oh, hi, Jim.

I got a surprise call this morning

from Alex Murphy in Decatur.

Oh.

Told me that he wanted to switch

back to buying the seeds from you.

Well, "switch back"

is a strong word, Jim.

He just wanted to try a little

different strategy in his fields.

Have to get paperwork approved from

the manager for purchase switch.

Oh, worry not,

for approval I shall get.

Now, if you'll pardon me, fine sir.

Have a good day.

Dean, Kyle. Recruiter

for Elliott Racing.

Thanks for coming, man.

You're figure-eight champion,

two years running.

If I like what I see today, we'll

give you one and only one shot.

Interesting.

Race at the end of the month,

and it'll cost you $15,000.

- $15,000, huh?

- Oh, yeah, boy.

I'm talking 10-person pit crew,

trailers, tires, entrance fees

and a whole mess of p*ssy.

Good luck.

I'll be watching you.

Thanks.

Come on, let's

grab some beers.

You wanna indulge me as to

how you're gonna get $15,000?

I got that saved in prize money.

Dean, that is beer, beer and

abortion money, you know it.

Sorry, Cadence.

Ladies and

gentlemen, rise and remove your hats

for the singing

of the national anthem.

# O, say, can you see #

# By the dawn's early light #

# What so proudly we hailed #

# At the twilight's last gleaming #

# Whose broad stripes and bright stars #

# Through the perilous fight #

# O'er the ramparts we watched #

# Were so gallantly streaming #

# And the rocket's red glare #

# The bombs bursting in air #

# Gave proof through the night #

# That our flag was still there #

# O, say does that

Star-spangled banner #

# Yet wave #

# O'er the land of the free #

# And the home of the brave #

Whoo!

Let's get started.

Let's give our drivers

a round of applause.

Let's keep our eyes open for 25,

Dean Whipple, today.

He's been dominating

on this track all season.

Whoa, whoa!

Jeez, Dean! This is insanity, Irene.

Nobody would come watch

if there wasn't a crash.

Brad Johnson, number 12,

pulls ahead of number 25.

They've had a rivalry all season.

These boys are going

neck and neck.

Ooh! That's a rough one!

Did you see that? Did you see that?

I saw it.

The kid's a driver.

I know.

He really is a driver.

Brad Johnson is pulling up.

That's no love tap!

Brad Johnson gets an inside line.

You're going down, you f***ing sh*t!

Hey, f*** you!

Number 12 takes a

tumble as Whipple pulls ahead.

Hope that Johnson boy

is all right in there.

Ha-ha-ha. Did you see that?

What a move! Ha, ha!

Dean Whipple straightens

out and sails through the final lap.

It's no surprise here, fans.

The winner is Dean Whipple!

It's official.

Yeah!

Number one, baby!

Brad's up and walking. It
