Brother Nature Page #4

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.

He's laughing hysterically

and he's all by himself.

Wow. You really

hate this guy.

Yeah, but, uh, keep me updated.

And tell your

mother I say hello.

I will not do that.

Thank you.

In the back, do you want

it straight across or a v?

Let's go with a v.

Straight across!

Straight across...

No. It's my head.

V? No... I guess... Let's

go straight across.

That's fine.

Do it! Do it!

Hi, Roger!

Come on in!

Isn't this the life?

You get a chance to accept

my friend request yet?

No. Not yet. I'm actually just

doing a little work here.

Understood.

Hey, can I talk to

you about something?

I thought you weren't

gonna propose before me.

And I heard that you were thinking

about asking Gwen, and I just...

Got confused, I guess.

Where did you hear that?

On the roof.

I was up there

watching the sunrise

and I heard something

through the window.

I'm a curious little monkey.

Listen, Todd, I've had this proposal

planned since before I even met you.

So, I am gonna do it.

Yeah. I get it.

Yeah.

I just have a really fun idea

that I think you'd like.

Hear me out. What about

a dual proposal?

We could even like, make a

suit with two heads in it...

We could be like one

person but with two heads.

Uh...

No.

Just because it's

kind of a whole thing.

I planned for us to

go horseback riding,

a sunset picnic with champagne

on her favorite bluff

where she used

to hike to as a kid.

What's a bluff? It's

kind of like a cliff.

You can kind of

see it from there.

You could just call it a cliff.

You know...

I even hired a caterer to have a

dessert reception for the family.

There's going to be

vintage port, so... Mmm.

Sounds classy as fug.

I could go halvsies?

That's not going to work,

because it's very, very specifically

designed to Gwen and I.

You know, she's leaving soon,

so I would really like it

to go as planned.

I get it.

You just want to get married

to her before she gets away.

I got it.

I just figured since we were gonna

spend the rest of our lives together,

that we could propose

to our girls together.

What do you mean, we're spending

the rest of our lives together?

Look at them, man,

they're inseparable.

And when we move

next to each other

they're going to be

even more inseparable.

We're gonna to be doing

everything together.

We're gonna be

brother-in-laws.

Brothers-in-law.

"Brothers" is plural.

It's one "law".

Exactly.

We are brothers now.

Technically,

we're not even that yet.

Tell that to my heart.

Oh, my god.

I can't wait.

Ooh!

My lady, I lick you very much.

Stop, you're getting it

on the goatee.

Belly Bob Thornton!

When did you get here?

Can I get some French fry potatoes?

Mmm-hmm.

Give me a kiss, Roger.

Give me a kiss.

No, thank you.

I'm spoken for.

Give me a kiss, Roger.

I'll blow you one.

You'll blow me?

Belly Bob Thornton

want a kiss from you.

You kissed

my belly! Ew!

You know, I'm glad we can all laugh

about this because as we all know

this lake was the site

of a horrific tragedy.

Todd, if you talk

about scary stuff

I'm going to have

nightmares and I'm leaving.

Fraidy cat!

Meow.

What was it,

13, 14 years ago now?

What happened?

A whole family was murdered

right here on this lake.

By a crazy person

with a chainsaw.

One by one in the dark.

That is not true.

Stop.

It is true, Pam.

Bing it.

I'm not going to Bing it.

And the scary thing is,

they never found the guy.

Last thing I heard, they

found him hiding under a...

Did you hear that?

Hibby, you heard that, right?

I'm going to go check this out.

Spencer, maybe you

should go with him?

No way!

Go on. Go.

No! Please!

Help me.

I loved you.

Todd, that is even better

than last year!

He got blood on my sweater.

Roger! Roger,

stop! It's me!

It's me. Margie.

Dude. We got you!

He screamed so high.

Oh. Spencer.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

You broke a table with my son.

So, how's little Spencer doing?

He's got a really bad sprain.

Pam's putting a bandage

on him right now.

What a putz!

Now, your entire family

hates me.

Spencer does hate you, but

he has a pretty good reason.

I'm pretty sure

Cody hates me, too.

Wow, he's giving you the double.

Todd did that to make

me look like an idiot.

But that wasn't just for you.

That was for everybody.

No, he said... remember,

he said, "we got you."

Because he did. Because you

screamed like a little girl.

No, he's trying

to get back at me.

For what?

I don't know what.

He's been combative with me

since we got here.

Todd is a lot of things, but

combative is not one of them.

You got to relax.

Remember, that's why

we came up here.

That, and so you could bond with

my family, but you've tanked that.

I'm trying to be... It's a joke, Roger.

It's a joke.

Hey,

why don't you come with me?

Where are we going?

I'm going to take you

to a pet cemetery.

Come on, you big puss.

Can you see where

you're stepping?

Shh. Why don't you

just relax?

You might actually have

a really good time.

What does that mean?

I think you'll

find out soon enough.

Oh! There's mud here.

Be careful.

What am I gonna... Oh. This mud?

Yeah, found it.

It's the sticky kind.

Gwen?

Gwen?

Where did you go?

Gwen?

What are you doing?

What do you think I'm doing?

Come on in, you creep.

Roger.

Come out and play.

Faster.

Here I come.

Stop it. Stop it.

Stop it!

Stop fighting!

This is why we don't have

candy for breakfast.

Maybe today we give each other

a little breathing room.

What do you think?

Let's go. Let's go.

Hey there, early bird. Hey, you.

Hey. Morning.

Hey, dad. You going to

go catch us some dinner?

No. I'm just going to throw a

couple of lines out from the dock.

Catch and release, you know.

Roger, you want to join me?

Um...

Yeah. I've never

done it before.

Oh! It's a blast.

I'll show you the ropes.

Great. Let me

get changed.

Come on, Gill.

Where are you?

Hey, gentlemen.

Hey.

Is this seat taken?

No. Just for you.

No, Rog. Join us.

Grab that pole.

Thank you, Jer.

Thanks so much, Jerry.

This is the life.

I'm glad you guys could make it.

Both of you.

It's kind of a tricky thing, a father

meets his daughter's boyfriends.

You know, after all, you're

sexing up my little girls.

What? No, me and Margie

just hold hands.

Nice try. Roger?

Oh, I...

I promise, I'm the

most respectful, um...

Hey, godspeed.

Because at a certain moment

you got to just trust that you've

raised your kids to have good taste.

And I think mine do.

I really appreciate that, Jerry.

It means a lot.

Choosing who to

share your life with,

that's the most important decision

you'll ever make in your whole lives.

I remember me, it was

after the '84 Olympics,

I flipped this super-charged golf cart

and completely destroyed my shoulder.

Cath came down to the hospital.

I said, "what now?"

She said,

"we'll figure it out."

And then, right there,

in the hospital...

She tugged it.

Yeah.

That's beautiful.

Your father is probably telling
