and let them out?

Let them run free.

I mean, that-

That might get some attention.

See? That's the kind of sh*t I'm talking about.

What's your name?

- Amber.

- Beautiful, Amber.

Well, think about it.

I mean, if you suddenly had thousands

and thousands of cows...

you know, wandering free...

wandering back to the prairie

where they belong...

causing traffic jams,

blocking the highway...

you're reminding people that cows aren't

supposed to be penned up and treated that way.

You know, that's a really good idea.

Because then we could issue

a press release with our demands...

showing what a disaster that company is

and what we're gonna do next.

We-We can do all this.

I'm just- I'm warning you guys

that right now in this country...

any destruction of private property

along these lines...

can be considered

in violation of the Patriot Act.

It can be considered

an act of terrorism.

You can go to prison

for, like, 10 years.

- Yeah, it's a bunch of bullshit.

- I know.

I know. We have entered

a whole new era...

where they can search your house

without a warrant.

They can put you in jail

without a trial.

Eco-activists that have

never harmed another human being...

are considered by our government to be

more of a threat to national security...

than all these right-wing,

Timothy McVeigh, militia types.

Well, right now I can't think

of anything more patriotic...

than violating the Patriot Act.

Hmm?

This industry's f***ed.

There's rumors U.M.P.'s plannin'

to sell the plant or shut us down.

They got plants all over the U.S.,

f***in' Canada.

Cody plant don't start pulling its weight,

yeah, they'll shut us down.

Don't matter we've been here

Don't give a f*** about Cody, and they

sure as sh*t don't give a f*** about me.

Jesus, f***.

This is taking forever, man.

Always cut fences.

It's the golden rule.

- Let's go.

- Let's go.

- Come on, buddies.

- Come on, babies. Run for it.

- Let's go!

- Watch you don't step in the sh*t.

- Come on, babies. Run for it!

- Let's spread out.

- Guys, come on.

- Let's get a move on! Come on!

Come on. Here you go.

Come on. Here you go!

- Come on. This way! This way!

- They're not doing anything.

- Come on. This way!

- Come on, baby. Let's go.

Go out that way. Go out that way.

- Why won't they go?

- What the f*** is wrong with them?

- Hey, get your asses in gear!

- How stupid are they?

Show them there's a hole in the fence.

I don't think they can see it.

Come on. Lookit! Lookit!

There's no fence. Run!

Come on! No fence!

- Come on!

- Come on! Come on! Come on!

- No fence, you f***ing morons!

- Over here. This way!

Whoa! That motherf***er

almost just gored me, man.

Don't you wanna be free?

It's wide open. Go!

They're gonna kill you!

They're gonna kill

every single one of you!

- Car!

- Oh, sh*t!

Time to go! Time to go!

- Come on! Let's get outta here!

- Don't you wanna be free?

Don't you wanna be free?

- Come on.

- Amber!

Come on, Amber!

Car's that way, Andrew!

Come on, Amber!

We're gonna hit the road! Let's go!

Let's move!

Come on, come on!

Let's go!

What a f***in' fiasco.

Look, nobody got arrested.

Nobody got hurt.

Yeah, and we learned something.

- Yeah?

- Don't try something unless

you know what you're doing.

Next time, we bring cattle prods.

That was our only mistake.

Oh, yeah. That's a good one.

Paco, ace cattle rustler from New Jersey.

F*** you.

At least we tried, man.

Better than sitting on our asses.

I just don't understand.

Why would they wanna stay in there?

Well, let's face it.

Cows aren't the brightest animals.

Who knows?

Maybe it's easier in there.

They get all the food they want.

I bet that genetically engineered sh*t

tastes better than grass.

I think they're just scared.

So was Andrew.

Did you see how f***in' fast he ran?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

And you were right behind me, f***er.

I don't know.

How come, in real life,

the bad guys always win?

Well, you know, they do until they don't.

Last night, hombre.

Okay, Mike.

Which all adds up

to us believing that next quarter...

will be the best time

to introduce a major new product.

And along those lines, um-

Don, you wanna take it from here?

Yeah. Um-

Well, as you all know,

the Barbecue Big One...

has been testing off the charts

for months.

And, uh, I really feel like...

the marketing department's

nailed the campaign, Jack.

So, it's obviously time

for the big launch. And...

we couldn't be more ready to go.
