Brother Nature Page #7

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.

What's your name?

I'm Riggleman. I said

how much do you bench?

I don't work out, so I wouldn't...

Me neither.

Great. Glad that's

out of the way.

Whoa!

I don't know what

you're going for,

but there doesn't seem to

be much definition there.

I'm not a dictionary

so I don't need definition.

That word means a few things.

So does "thesaurus".

Thesaurus means different things?

I think it just means one thing.

Prove it.

I'm in town for a few days

and Roger said you're the

man to show me around.

Roger said I was the man?

To show me around.

I am the man.

To show me around.

I feel like there's a part of the

sentence you're not listening to.

I am the man.

To show me around.

Let's do it!

Just let me bust

a piss right quick.

Oh. You're...

Going right now.

What's up?

Um. It's just the un-breaking eye

contact is a little off-putting.

That's also

off-putting.

Let me just go

get my wrist-cuffs.

Oh, boy.

Poor Roger.

Ripped his head right off.

- Murderer.

- What a bastard.

Who murders a fish?

Roger does.

Hey, Roger?

Hey, Cathy.

Hey. We're making

beer-garitas.

They're margaritas with beer in them.

You want one?

No, I'm all right,

but thank you, Cathy.

Okay. Hey, how are

you holding up?

Not bad.

No, I think pretty good.

You know, just going

over the speech.

Making sure I say everything

I want to say. Oh.

Well, yeah, you know, I know

that that's going to be fine.

But I meant, how are you holding

up with the whole Todd thing?

What do you mean?

It's pretty clear

that he took your proposal

or maybe you gave it to him?

But dessert and port

aren't exactly Todd's style.

A ball-pit, maybe.

But not port.

You know, when I first met him

I thought, "this guy has got to

take it down all the notches."

But then I realized, you know, that

the reason he's got that much energy

is because he's

got such a big heart.

And I guess

a guy with a big heart

isn't the worst thing

you could wish

for your daughter.

Yeah, sure. Of course.

This is probably

none of my business,

but can I give you

some friendly advice?

Certainly.

Okay.

As someone who has known

Gwen her entire life,

she really loves you.

You could ask her to marry you

in a parking lot and she'd nut.

So, try not to put too much

pressure on the "how" of it.

Thank you, Cathy.

Oh!

Well, excuse you!

I'm a little buzzed.

That burp smelled delicious.

Can I get a beer-garita?

You sold me.

The burp sold me.

You're going to be good

in this family. Come on.

Hey, honey, look. I got

a giant donut! Whoa!

That's amazing.

Aw!

My ice cream! She

dropped her ice cream.

How do we clean it?

It's okay.

Problem solved.

Wash it away.

It's okay.

Todd cleaned the ice cream with

soda and his shoe. It's all better.

I'll get you more ice cream.

Good as new.

Hello, "Giggleman."

Oh. Yeah. Todd gave it to me.

The nickname and the shirt.

I assumed.

That guy is pure

good times, man.

We met up with Gwen and Margie.

We went go-kart racing.

Except he called it

"go-fart racing".

'Cause it's powered by gas.

Do you get it?

It really was

just go-kart racing.

Oh! We did a Chinese fire

drill, check this out.

He did, like, a Chinese

accent the whole time.

But it didn't feel racist.

It felt more like a tribute

to an ancient culture.

He got to you, too.

You really got to give him

another chance, man.

It feels good

to do this. Try it.

All right. Well, I'm

going to go inside.

Apparently, I'm

staying here tonight.

Todd would not let me

stay at a motel.

Classic Todd.

So, you and Gwen are back rooming

with Todd and Margie, okay?

Todd, do you want to

teach me how to swim?

Cool.

Roger? Roger, wake up!

You're covered in ants!

They're biting!

They're biting!

Ew! I can see his butt.

That's what they want.

That's my ice cream.

Oh. Look, he's skinny-dipping!

Good for him.

Dad, the news Van is here.

Shut up!

Hi there. Dana Curlman. Hi.

I feel like I might be

wearing too much makeup.

No, Margie did a great job. You

can't see any of the bites, honey.

I look like a peach mime.

I think it's going to read

differently on camera, okay?

God, they really got in here.

I know.

Thank you for doing this.

It's not my first time.

Remember when I got

attacked by all those mites

when we were building

that library in Peru?

Yeah. Hey.

I'm really gonna miss you

when you leave.

I'm going to miss you, too.

And I'm very sorry for how

this week has panned out.

I wanted things to

go very differently.

And I actually was

planning to ask you to...

Hey, Roger. Oh.

Was I interrupting?

Um. No? No. We should

get you mic'd up.

All right. Um.

Wish me luck?

Good luck!

Wait, where's Todd?

I don't know. He said he

knew this was big for you,

so he had to get out of here.

Good.

Kind of miss him.

Hi. Dana Curlman.

Cascade news 3.

Let's hit it. I'm jazzed and we're

going to be live very, very soon.

Can I ask you, is the

makeup intentional?

Do you think it's too much?

Yes, it is.

But it is too late. Here we go, guys.

Let's do this dang thing.

We're live. Go.

Welcome, Roger.

Hi, tom. Hi, Jules.

Ooh! Look at Roger. He looks good.

Well, thanks for having me.

Does he look too orange?

His face looks like it's

covered in Cheetos dust.

There's an ant coming out of his nose!

What? Oh, my god...

There's an ant...

Uh.

Do you need a tissue?

Sorry.

No. Just an ant.

No. He's done.

With the ant thing, it's over.

I grew up in Seattle.

It's a city I love.

It's a city I know. I've been

working with congressman McClaren

these last five years and in that

time unemployment has dropped 2%.

High school graduation rates

are at an all-time high.

Wait, is that Todd?

Is that Todd?

Yeah. That's Todd.

Wow! He's got some height.

Roger Fellner for congress!

America loves this man!

America needs this man!

I can't even dream this stuff,

get the freak in the back.

Roger! It's me, Todd!

Roger Fellner for congress!

Just having fun up here

on vacation with the fam.

Leave! Leave!

I can't hear you

over the jet shoes.

I said turn it off!

Turn that off!

You're ruining it!

Do you hate this?

Yes!

The innovation of the

people of Washington.

If you don't leave I'm going to kill you!

I'm gonna kill you!

Leave!

Makev! Let's go!

Okay, he is going to hit him.

Roger, I'm sorry!

Watch out!

Roger, I'm sorry!

Roger!

Whoa!

Roger!

Roger Fellner

is now unconscious.

He's like iron man.

This is amazing!

All right!

Now that's news!

Roger Fellner.

Guy worth saving.

Guy worth voting for.

Hell of a tagline.

I felt like a superhero!

God, Todd!

It was the best, it was...

I don't even know where it came from.

I don't know how I did it.

I mean, that was awesome.

And I gotta tell you,

seeing your face now.

It is busted. Honestly,

that makeup was not that bad.

Well, thank you for today

and we will catch you later.

Todd, you my dude!

Roger, are you okay?

All things considered,

that went okay.
