Bob the Butler Page #7

Synopsis: Goofy Canadian screwup Bob Tree goes trough the yellow pages alphabetically to pick jobs, applies and messes them up every time. In the B's, he arrived at butler and takes a wacky crash-course with the somewhat odd Mr. Butler. Bob gets hired, but really more as babysitter cum housekeeper for Jacques, his fuzzy lover Anne Jamieson and, most of all, her spoiled-rotten kids Bates and Tess, terrible handfuls which his unorthodox methods may at least take by surprise.

are going out for something to eat.

Would you and your date

like to, uh, go with us?

- Well, she's not a date.

- Uh, we'd love to.

- Fantastic.

- We'd love to...

- I... I saw them go back there.

- Who?

- Oh, Bob. Bob.

Are you... are you deaf?

- Huh!

- Hey! Hey, hey, hey!

- Whoo!!! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

[Screaming]

[Excited screaming]

Oh!

[Giggling]

Oh!

- Whoa.

- You seem like you know

everyone in the whole city.

- Yeah. Well, I've been fired a lot.

[Anne laughing]

- It was a wonderful evening.

- Oh, Anne, your dress.

- Oh!

- Your dress.

Oh, your dress.

- Ah!! Oh!

Aha...

- Oh, jeez.

- Did you and Tess plan this?

- Yeah, I...

I did teach her to sew.

- Laugh! But not for long.

If I weren't a gentleman,

I would kill you right now.

- Oh, Jacques!

This isn't any of your business!

- It is my business.

Put some clothes on!

- Don't you tell me what to do.

I'll... run around stark naked

if I want to.

- Anne, you have been fooled.

He is not a proper butler.

- Maybe I should just go.

- Oh, you think you can just sneak away?

Afterwhat you did?

You cannot take advantage

of a middle-aged woman!

- Oh! I am not middle-aged!

Am I?

- You're beautiful.

- And I'm going to hire Bob.

- To do what?!

He trained for five days! Five!

Cinq!

- You were gonna hire me?

- I... I... I...

Well, you really care

for my children

and they adore you.

- Ah, Anne!

This situation is intolerable!

- No, this situation is fine.

You are intolerable.

- C'est fini?

Au revoir!!!

- Au revoir!

Good riddance!

- Talk to my hand!

- So would you...

come back to work?

The... children miss you

and... well, we all miss you.

- I can't.

- I don't understand.

- It wouldn't be appropriate.

- Aren't you going after him?

- He's leaving

first thing in the morning.

- Get up, Mom.

[Groaning]

- Tess, what are you doing?

- Why did you work this hard, Mom?

You're all alone.

- Mom,

he's part of our family.

- Stay here.

- Go, Mom!

[Bates]:
Go, Mom!

- Go, Mom! Go, Mom!

[Both]:
Go, Mom! Go, Mom!

Go, Mom! Go, Mom!

Go, Mom! Go, Mom!

Go, Mom!

Go, Mom! Go, Mom!

- What happened?

[Anne sighing]

- That happened.

That's the butler cruise.

- You mean Bob left?

- What a mess!

A real mess!

It's a real mess.

- Maybe he'll come back.

- Get tidy, Anne.

Get tidy.

I'm sorry, kids. We lost Bob

and it's all my fault.

But I wanna thank you -

both.

I love you so much.

Both of you.

Please don't look at me like that.

They say kids bounce back,

but...

Bob!

Bob!

- Hi.

- What about the butler cruise?

- I couldn't leave.

Thought I'd stay.

- Car-washing?

- Well, it's early on

in the Cs.

Hey!

This is a song

About my desire to find work

My desire to find a family

- For the food

we are about to receive

and for my new dad, Bob,

we thank you, God.

- Amen.

[All]:
Amen.

- Oh, honey, why don't I carve?

- Ahem-hem.

That's a gentleman's job. Ma'am.

Check it

[flatulence]

- Not again!

Oh. Nooooo!

[BOOM!]

- Dinner is served.

I got another occupation

under my belt

Keeping a job for two weeks

He bled a lot

He never said a lot

He just screamed and got blood

on my brand new blue jeans

When to the school

They made me balance

plates on my head yeah

They made me make a naked dude

get dressed

He dressed me up in a suit

and a vest

Took me to the rooftop

for a test

Made me climb to the edge

real slow

Looked at the ground

and I got vertigo

I thought about a woman

that I met the other day

And the vertigo stopped

spinning it went away

It felt real good

Take the dust to dust

I attack this

Brought the kids

to basketball practice

I make dinner

some kind of luau

I want to make the lady

say wow

But the lady comes home

and the pig explodes

Messed up again

Pretty soon

Looking for a job
