Here's What We're Gonna Do.

You're Gonna

Be The Chicken

Full-Time.

All Right.

What-- What Are You--

What Do You Mean,

Full-Time?

What About That Allergy-Proof

Chicken Head Or Whatever?

( Stammers )

The Financing

You Know, The Pta Shot Down

Principal Daly's Request

Something About

Fire Extinguishers

I Don't Know.

It's Politics, Man.

Say, Poole,

Does This...

Custom-Built

Hypoallergenic Head

Really Even Exist?

Yea-- No.

( Laughing )

No, Pete.

No, It Doesn't.

Why Do I Ever

Believe Anything You

Ever Say Anymore?

Because We're Best Friends.

Now, Pete, Are You In

Or Are You Out?

Well...

I Don't Know.

I'm Just Not Sure About

Being The Chicken Full-Time.

Well, I Mean,

If People Were To Find Out

That It Was

Just Boring Old

Pete Ivey In The Suit,

They'd Expect Me

To Be This...

Hey-Check-Me-Out-

I'm-Crazy

Kinda Guy

All The Time.

And It's Not Me.

That's You.

Okay, Pete, I Don't

Ever Recall Saying

That We Could

Let People In On Our

Little Secret Here.

Oh. Oh, So I Keep

Being The Chicken,

- You Keep Getting

The Credit?

- Yeah.

- What?!

A Win-Win, Dude.

Wait. Wait, Wait, Wait.

How Is It A Win-Win?

Uh, Simple. I Get

The Benefit Of Fame,

The Poole Family

Tradition Lives On.

Let's Not

Forget About Jamie.

And You-- You Get To Have

Fun In A Chicken Suit.

Pete, It Doesn't Get

Better Than That.

- Yeah, It Is.

I Mean, I'm Kinda

Good At It.

Good? Pete.

Dude, You're Amazing.

I Mean, No Poole Has

Ever Been This Good.

I Want Him Gone, Fred!

I Can't Keep My Mind

In The Game!

The-- The Crowd Isn't Even

Looking At The Court Anymore.

Excuse Me, Coach-- Something

I Remembered I Had To Do.

Let's See Here.

Roosters Have Scored

24 Points All Season.

Their Opponents...

Hmm.

( Door Opens, Closes )

Okay, So After This,

We Need 14' Of Chicken Wire.

- Ah, Chicken Wire.

- Mm-Hmm.

That Would Be

In The Wire Department

Under "Chicken."

Or Would It Be

In The Chicken Department...

Both:

Under "Wire"?

( Laughing )

So What Did You

Hear From Houston?

Well, He Made Captain

Oh, Sounds Like

A Fun Guy.

Yeah.

Yeah, He, Uh...

So, Pete, Um...

Cleatus Poole--

He, Uh-- He's A Friend

Of Yours, Isn't He?

I Mean, Only Since

Kindergarten.

- Oh, No Reason.

Just-- He, Um, Seems

Like An Interesting Person.

He's Complex, Isn't He?

( Laughs )

Poole?

- Yeah.

- I Just Never Really

Considered The Concept.

Well, I Mean,

It's Like By Day,

He's Just This,

Kind Of Ordinary--

- Really, Really Ordinary...

- Yeah, Ordinary.

- ...Guy.

- You Know, When He's

The Chicken...

He's Just So...

Different.

Well, How Different?

- What Do You Mean?

- I Dunno, He's--

He's Brash

And Bold And Daring

And He's So Funny.

Angela, Are You

Saying You're Like,

Interested In Poole

Because He's The Chicken?

- Oh--

- Susie:
I Found The Putty.

It's A Little Pricey,

But Good Putty

Is Worth Every Cent.

Where's The Twine?

I Didn't See Twine
