Brother Nature Page #3

Synopsis: Roger (Taran Killam), a strait-laced politician has big plans to propose to his dream girl (Gillian Jacobs) at her family's lake house. But everything goes awry when he meets his potential brother-in-law Todd (Bobby Moynihan): a full-time camp counselor with a heart of gold and a wild sense of fun, pining to be Roger's best friend, and ultimately catapulting him into a series of unfortunate events. As Roger tries to take a stand amidst outrageous fishing excursions, propulsive water jetpacks and American history-themed musicals, he realizes that being a part of a new family may be more difficult than he'd thought.

And if you need anything,

you know where to find us.

Thank you so much. Yeah.

Actually, uh, Cathy, sorry.

I would love to find that moment

alone with you and Jerry,

sometime tomorrow, maybe

just the three of us.

Oh! Absolutely. Jerry and I

always go for a morning hike.

Oh! That's great. Consider

me your co-hiker.

It's early.

7:
00 A.M. sharp.

That's okay. I am an early bird.

I will be there.

All right, I can't wait.

I'm gonna nut! Me too.

7:
00 A.M.!

7:
00 A.M.

Nutting.

Welcome to the free hostel.

It's Todd.

Yeah, I recognized you from

the denim pajama pants.

Mmm. Thank you,

they're pa-Jean-as! Ooh!

I see you brought the camping

essentials of wig and funny glasses.

Wrong-o. I brought

a bunch of them.

Behold the wig museum.

Seriously though, they're communal. So,

feel free to take whatever you want.

I highly suggest raptor head.

Oh! Thank goodness, because I

left my raptor head at home.

You have a raptor head at home?

Shut it down.

You got me, bro.

Gwen, I think we're

going to keep this one.

Let me get that for you,

clear a little space.

Sorry. It's my

white noise machine.

Need this bad boy to sleep.

My roommate had one of those.

She played forest sounds.

Oh, nice.

I use casino floor.

"Casino floor"?

Yeah. I grew up in Reno. My

mom was a Blackjack dealer,

so I spent a lot

of time at casinees.

The sounds are just

soothing to me I guess.

I hated it when he first

started staying over,

but now I can't

sleep without it.

Yeah.

Oh. Is this going to bother you?

I didn't even think of asking.

I'm a heavy sleeper, so I'm fine,

but did you bring earplugs?

I did not.

Rog-Mahal,

trust me.

This thing is going to

conk your butt right out!

Need I say more?

No more bets.

Mommy!

No!

...flying home, 'cause I

got a text on my pager...

...oh, this is not

my mess.

- It was so his mess!

- It was so his mess!

Hey, Roger!

- I slept in.

- Don't worry about it.

You're on vacation.

Not a problem.

I'm so sorry. I just... I had a hard

time falling asleep last night.

Oh, Rog, if you want to switch beds,

man, you just let me know. Okay?

Aw, beautiful.

Hey, Rog...

I got the squirrel bite

on my nuts to prove it.

Oh! Oh!

That's why the walks are fun.

I'm gonna go check on Margie.

I feel awful that

I missed this hike,

just because it would have been

a better setting than this.

I want to talk to you

about something important...

Good morning, Turleys!

Good morning!

Miesha! This is Gwen's

boyfriend, Roger.

Welcome.

Magic is real.

And it lives right here.

You know, Miesha lives

here all year long

and he takes care of the

place when we're gone.

And that's Laerke.

It's a pleasure

to meet both of you.

And that's a lovely

painting, Laerke.

Oh, Laerke speaks no English.

But I will relay your kindness.

Please believe me.

Have a good one!

What were you saying?

He interrupted.

Well, yeah, actually,

if you're free right now

I'd love to take

you out to breakfast.

You guys want waffles

or French toast?

Oh! You've got to try

his legendary French toast.

Jer, can I put you

on the crumble topping?

I've been summoned.

Hey, listen, don't worry about it.

We'll find some time. We have all day.

Sure, totally. No, I just would

love to find a moment...

Because it's important.

Whoa! Mel magic!

Good morning.

I made you breakfast in bed.

Oh! Oh!

Oh!

Roger? Oh!

Yeah.

I am so sorry.

I saw someone standing over us.

I didn't mean to throw

shogun at your face.

Oh. That's okay. It's paperback.

Come on. Are you okay, honey?

I didn't mean to scare you,

I just literally don't think

there will be another moment for

the three of us to be alone.

But I'll keep it brief.

Okay.

I love your daughter.

I think she is the most

extraordinary, strong, intelligent,

fun person I know,

and I live to make her happy.

So, I wanted to ask you two

for your blessing

to ask her to marry me.

Of course, yes.

Of course, honey.

That means a lot.

I would be misty right now, but I

really can't get my eyes open.

Okay, I'm going to get out of your hair.

You guys get back to sleep.

Oh, uh, and if you wouldn't

mind keeping it under wraps,

because I have a whole thing planned,

so maybe don't say anything.

Our lips are zipped, Rog.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Get some sleep.

Sweet dreams.

Oh.

I got your book...

Oh, my god!

Roger, you have to knock!

Yeah. God,

that was so fast.

That's how we do

it in this family.

Oh! Hubba Hubba!

Where you going?

I'm going swimming.

You want to come?

I do. Let me grab

my trunks.

Why are you in such a good mood?

I'm on vacation.

And when I'm on vacation, I, uh,

kind of turn into Dr. happy.

Do you also turn into an idiot?

Okay, well, that's your opinion.

Hey, what do you think about you

and me going on a date this week?

When was the last time

we went on a date?

Yeah. That's what

I'm saying.

So, how about Thursday

I take you out for

the night of your life?

All right.

I think I like Dr. happy.

I mean, he's kind of

the best, right?

And he's a doctor so

you've got to trust him.

You know what's the worst though?

What?

Whatever those are on your feet.

They're my aqua-toesies.

That's a deal-breaker

as hell!

They're sleek, what are

you talking about?

They're for balance and traction.

They're hideous.

I don't know what's at

the bottom of that lake.

They're useless.

Yeah, and you can't push me over

because I'm sturdy as heck.

Yes, I can.

Super grip!

Here, feel the super

grip on the bottom.

No, don't put those near me.

Feel the super grip.

That feels terrible. No. No.

Here, just try them on.

Kiss my toesies. No! I'm

not gonna kiss your...

Daddy, what're you

doing to mommy?

Ohh.

Hi, Todd.

Hey.

Sorry to interrupt. Roy Rogers,

you've got a phone call.

Whoa!

To be continued.

Okay.

I can smell it

through my mask, dude.

Get right down those edges.

Oh. This smells like

this inside of a butt.

Hello? Ah! You're a

hard man to reach.

Hey, yes, sorry.

Reception sucks up here.

What's going on?

Bit of a crisis.

It got out.

What got out?

Frank's retirement.

His daughter

freaking tweeted it.

And now I'm getting phone calls

asking if frank is dying.

Okay. I'll call frank

right now.

I just talked to him,

he's getting on a plane.

But he wants to call you

today or tomorrow.

Can I give him this phone number?

Yes. Yes, please.

Did he sound upset? No. He

was actually pretty chill.

You know, I like about-to-retire frank.

He doesn't give a...

Anwar!

Yes, mother?

That's gutter language!

You are an educated man.

Not a gangbanger.

"Gangbanger"?

What, are you listening to NPR?

Sounds like you're getting the haircut.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

It's her birthday.

Which is why none of the

birds are singing today.

How are things over there?

Great. Great. Yeah.

Gwen's family

is fantastic. Um...

Her sister's boyfriend

is a little...

A little what?

Well, right now he has a

face painted on his belly.
