Butter Page #3
- Kaitlen.
Go back to the table right now.
Nobody? Nobody?! Bob!
Brooke! Can't we
do this over email?
Bob, I'm gonna sh*t
on the hood of your car.
I see. You are definitely
a passionate woman.
You have two minutes to get me
I'm sorry, Brooke, I can't.
I'm married.
You know what? F*** you!
You are just like my father.
- My wife controls the checkbook.
- Your wife, Bob?
I can't believe you're gonna
let your wife come between us.
- I thought you had morals.
- OK.
You tell your wife
to watch her back.
Will do. Thanks.
F*** you, Bob!
No, thank you.
We have plenty of steak knives.
You owe me, Bob.
You owe me big.
Can I come in?
Sure.
- So how was your first day?
- Good.
Ethan said you were interested in
doing that butter contest thing?
Yeah.
Are you sure?
It's kind of redneck-y.
I don't mind.
Looks like you've
been practicing.
Who's that?
That's my real dad.
And this is my mom.
And this must be you.
Don't you look all happy.
No. That's my sister.
So where are you?
Well, I'm here.
Don't worry. My real mom
will come get me soon.
OK.
Time for bed.
- Hey, is she good?
- She's fine.
Great.
The more you use
the power within you,
the more you will
draw it to you.
You will reach a point where you
won't need to practice anymore,
because you will be the power,
you will be the perfection,
- you will be the wisdom...
- Be the wisdom.
...you will be the intelligence,
you will be the love...
- ...you will be the joy.
- Be the joy.
Be the joy.
Oh, God what am I doing here?
I can't do this.
I'm not an artist.
I don't have any experience.
I just screwed up The Secret
by even thinking that.
Just shut up, Laura. Pull it
together, you stupid slut.
Don't call yourself a slut.
Oh, God.
OK.
I will win.
I will win.
Laura, I thought Bob was
judging State this year.
He is.
I'm signing up for myself.
Are you sure?
You have big shoes to fill,
following your husband like that.
Well, don't worry, I'm not a
feminist or anything like that.
I just worry about what would
happen if this title
and all the power that
goes with it ends up
in the hands of someone
other than a Pickler.
I mean, we all know what happened
with the Miss America Pageant
and Vanessa Williams.
Well, I guess I see your point.
I see I'm the only name here in Johnson County.
What time do we wrap this up?
Official rules state
we need to be here until noon.
I'll wait.
Good.
Do you want me to go in
with you?
Don't tell Jill,
because she always likes me
to think positive.
but what I like to do is this.
I imagine all the bad things
that could possibly happen
if you enter this contest.
Like you could die
of a tragic butter overdose.
There could be a rabid grizzly bear
hiding inside this very moose lodge,
waiting to tear your face off.
There could be a python inside.
What if this place is full
of monkeys with a deadly virus?
There could be
the ghost of Hitler.
What if there's no gravity in there?
And you float up
and bang your head on the ceiling.
And then all of a sudden,
gravity kicks in and then you
bang your head on the floor?
- There could be a black hole and it'd suck me all up.
- Yes.
What if this place is full of
good-looking British vampires?
- The worst of all of them.
- They're so pale.
- Or hungry cannibals.
- It could happen.
Or there could be a mass murderer who
only kills adorable little girls.
- Think about it.
- Or racist ninjas.
Or racist ninjas, yes.
High five.
That was a good one.
So think about all that
and ask yourself, really,
what's the worst thing
that could happen?
Yeah.
Yeah, could you live with that?
I guess so.
OK then. So it's not
such a big deal, is it?
Go make us proud.
Bring me back some butter.
Adorable.
What is this place?
Laura?
Oh, my God!
Are you entering, too?
Oh, my God!
We have to get coolers right
next to each other!
It'll be just like camp!
How fun.
I'm really nervous.
I mean, what am I doing, right?
But I just said to myself,
"Carol Ann, you've been sitting
in the audience for too long.
Now's your time to get up on
that stage and sing!"
I'm so glad you're here.
We're gonna be
just like sisters.
Oh, no offense.
I'd like to sign up, please.
Oh, isn't that just precious.
So, that's that.
Looks like it'll be the three of us.
Is someone smoking?
F*** this bullshit.
Hey.
Can I help you?
Yeah.
I want to... sign up.
For the Johnson County Mastery
in Butter Sculpture Competition?
Oh, man.
Yeah. That. I want
to sign up for that.
I'm gonna cut you.
Have you worked
with butter before?
Oh, I've worked with it all.
- I object.
- Uh...
You know, she is here on time
and the rules do state
that anyone can enter.
Look at what she's wearing.
This will go over very badly
with the Red Ribbon people.
Well, I don't see anything
in here about that. I really...
Ah!
Your husband still owes me
another $600.
Interesting. Did he buy
600 blowj*bs on credit?
Look, lady, you came
in between me and my man.
Sh! We're in a Moose Lodge.
Bob is my husband.
We have built a life together.
Once Kaitlen leaves, I plan on
proudly bearing his children.
So? You want a cookie 'cause
you're gonna get pregnant?
I get pregnant
like once a month.
Do you honestly think
you're anything more
than a cheap lay to him?
He'll get bored.
After that he'll come right back
where he belongs,
to my house.
Listen...
Would you prefer it
if I didn't enter
this whole
butter contest thing?
Absolutely.
Excellent.
It's on, c*nt.
I haven't heard that word
since my dad died.
Heavens! Look at that.
- Voila.
- Cool.
Jesus, Laura.
Hi!
Incredible.
This is weird.
Sh, sh, sh.
Honey.
This is great.
- What's that?
- I don't know.
- Hi, Carol Ann.
- I'm sorry to bother you.
I know you're busy
creating in here and...
Wow, Laura!
Talent does run
in the Pickler family. Wow.
- Well...
- Mine? I don't know.
I mean, you know, I thought
it would work out, but...
...golly, Laura,
this is really hard.
But my grandma used to say,
"You can't polish a..."
How's the girl's look?
- What?
- What's her name?
Destiny?
Amazing, isn't it?
Harriet Tubman.
Oh.
Well, she obviously decided
to play the race card.
I mean, it figures.
Whatever you lack in talent,
you gotta find some way to...
I gotta go.
