Butter Page #2
I will call the governor.
That's what I'll do.
I'll call the governor.
Or Jesus. I mean, don't you
have his direct line?
My constitutional rights are being
violated and I will call the governor.
The governor
doesn't care, Laura.
What did you say?
The governor doesn't care.
Whose side are you on, Bob?
It's time to pass
the baton, Laura.
I need to start giving back.
Like Oprah.
How dare you
bring Oprah into this?
Kaitlen, sweetie.
Could you please provide your
father and me with some privacy?
She can stay.
Cover your balls, Dad.
I see what happened here, Bob.
You didn't stand up
for yourself, did you?
That's what happened here.
I think it'd show a real touch
of class if we stepped down now.
warned me against marrying someone
whose biggest dream was to be
- What's that supposed to mean?
- It just means maybe I should've taken his advice
- and married Boyd Bolton.
- Boyd Bolton?
successful car dealership.
I am done.
I doubt Boyd would just give up Bolton
Supercenter at the drop of a hat, Bob.
Laura, please.
You get back here, Bob.
If you won't stand up to them,
then I will!
F***ing freaks.
I gotta ask you, you just turned
down over a half a million dollars.
I told her not to pick 22.
Oh, sh*t! Tell her I'm not here.
What? Who? What's going on?
- Laura. Laura Pickler.
- Oh, God. Here?
- Tell her I'm fishing.
- At night?
Oh, God! Why is she here?
- Orval!
- What if she gets inside?
- Orval!
- Can you hear me?
I hear you!
- One is worth $200,000.
- Yeah.
One case is worth one million.
Laura.
How nice to see you.
Where's Orval?
He's in the shower.
Maybe I can have him
call you later.
I'll wait.
If you ask me,
number 24 is too thin.
Oh, I see how it is.
He wants to play a game, does he?
Well, you tell
Orval this isn't over.
That's what I'm
talking about, baby!

How are they gonna
do it without me?
Who's gonna throw
the Butter Brunch, Helen?
Please.
And Camp Butter. It doesn't
just organize itself.
And to think, I was just about to donate all
my past gala gowns to the state fair museum.
Ohh.
I give so much.
You're the only man
who cares about me.
That's not true. I'm sure there
is plenty of men who like you.
Your father cares
about you, right?
Oh, my God!
I just... I need
someone to take care of me.
Someone who understands me,
someone to love me.
Not just someone to pay my rent
which, by the way, comes out
to $560 a month plus utilities.
That's actually
a really good deal.
But listen, Tokyo Rose...
- What? What?
- Oh, my.
- What?
- Tokyo Rose...
Brooke.
My real name's Brooke.
Brooke.
I think I love you.
- Too soon?
- No.
Here we go, um...
Here, I wanna give you...
- Oh, no.
- Yes.
Oh, I couldn't
possibly accept this.
No.
Oh, that's a hundy.
You are such a good person.
Mmm.
You just give and give
and give, and others
just take and take and take...
Oh, f***!
But my strongest belief in life is
that you should always take the high road.
What the f***?!
She had tattoos, Bob.
How long has this been going on?
It's just the one time. Look.
Oh! Sweet Jesus!
You're not innocent
in this whole thing, OK?
You're sleeping
on the couch tonight.
I sleep on
the couch every night.
If I were you...
I'd get a good night's sleep.
Because County is in a month
and we got a lot of work to do.
Laura, it's over. I'm not entering County.
Orval and I agreed.
We gotta get the butter,
We gotta check the cooling unit because the
temperature thing's been all f***ed up for ages.
- We gotta...
- Listen to me. I'm not competing this year.
I know.
- I am.
- What?
I'm competing.
I'll win County.
And after that I will bring back
what is rightfully ours.
And you're gonna help me.
Good night.
There's Advil in the kitchen
for your penis.
So I checked your schedule.
You got Mr. Evans for History.
He's very, very old,
so be patient.
I actually think he was around for most
of the historical events that he covers.
Here we are.
You'll be fine.
I'll be in room 412
if you need me.
Just a short walk away.
- OK.
- OK.
Go get 'em.
When you draw your tree,
I want you to rid
your conscious mind
of any notion of what you think
a tree should look like.
Here.
You can use mine.
- I have two.
- Thanks.
You know black people?
Yeah.
Well, I wanted you to know
I think they're real cool.
Thanks.
Destiny. I wanted to tell you how
thrilled I am to have you in my class.
You're a very talented artist.
I'm not really that good.
We expect big things from you.
My new foster parents and
everyone at my new school were so nice,
that I couldn't help but think,
You know how you guys asked if
I needed anything a while back?
Mm-hmm. Shoot.
You don't have butter.
Thank you. I know. It's Jill.
Believe me, she means well.
You know, she used to be worse.
She used to buy this
fake meat called seitan.
- Like the devil?
- Exactly like the devil.
- I'll get you some. Yeah.
- Really?
OK. I'm gonna need
like 200 pounds.
# It feels good to be home #
Honey.
Honey, just...
She's coming.
Here it comes.
Thank you.
- Beautiful chicken.
- Thank you.
Well, Kaitlen, your father
and I have some great news.
As you know the Mastery in Butter
Committee has turned on your father
The good news is that,
instead of your father
I will be competing this year.
- I think we should be proud of your mother.
- Stepmother.
And have you ever made a butter
sculpture before?
You don't even eat dairy.
Oh, man, you are
gonna suck so hard.
- Kaitlen.
- I guess I expected outsiders to be skeptical,
but my own family?
I have stood by your father
for the past 15 years.
Watching, learning, absorbing.
I was there when he turned 867 sticks
of butter into First Lady Laura Bush.
I was there when,
two days before State,
the cooler broke and his Iwo Jima
just turned into a river of yellow.
And I am here now
in his darkest hour of need
to lift him up
and preserve our legacy.
Bird or door, Bob.
Pick one. Let's go.
- Hey, boo!
- You can't be here.
Oh, but you still owe
me money, remember?
I never got the rest
of the money.
That sh*t ain't free.
This isn't happening.
But you said you loved me, Bob.
That was a little early for me.
But we did it. I never do it
with guys from the club, Bob.
Dad? Who's that?
Nobody.
Nobody?!
- Is she a hooker?
- No, no.
- I like her boots.
- Those are Army boots.
She's a recruiter.
Wait a minute.
Is she your hooker?
- Because I totally understand if she is.
