Hatching Pete Page #6

---

It's Your Dad.

Hey, You Want

To Go Bowling?

It's The Old Man.

He Wants To Spend

Some More Face Time

With His Favorite Kid.

I Can't Blame Him.

My Stock Is Pretty

High These Days.

Makes Him Feel Good

Being Seen With Me In Public.

Whatever You Say.

Yeah.

We've Been Hanging

Out A Lot Lately.

He's Really

Proud Of The Chicken.

Or-- I Mean Me.

He's Carrying

A Picture Of Us

In His Wallet Right Now.

I Mean, Obviously

He Thinks It's Me,

But It's Really You--

Pete, I Cannot

Take It Anymore!

- What's The Matter?

- Dude, I'm A Fraud.

Okay, My Dad's

Walking Around

Talking About How Proud

He Is Of The Chicken.

But It's Really You, Pete.

You Know,

He's Proud Of You

Because You're The Chicken!

You Know, If He Knew How Bad

Of A Chicken I Really Was,

He Would Never

Talk To Me Again.

Poole, Your Dad

Doesn't Care

If You're A Good

Chicken Or Even If

You Are The Chicken.

Your Family Loves You

No Matter What.

- You See, Pete,

I Understand That In Theory.

- ( Pats )

Trust Me, It's True.

You're A Really

Good Friend, Pete.

I'm Really Sorry

That This Whole Thing

Has Been Really Hard On You.

You Were Right, Though.

You Know?

We Should Just--

We Should Call It Quits

And Let The Cat

Out Of The Bag.

Whoa, Whoa.

What If I'm Not

Funny Without The Suit?

Come On, Pete.

You're A Funny Guy.

You Just Have To Let

Everybody See That

Without Wearing

Your Chicken Suit.

Come On.

- Hey, Everybody!

- No!

Look, You Know What?

Let's Just Keep

The Cat In The Bag

At Least Until After

The Parade. I Mean,

What's The Rush, Really?

- Right? Your Guilt's

Not Going Anywhere.

- Yeah, I Guess.

Look, I'm Sorry, Poole.

I Can't Switch Right Now.

Look, I Did You A Favor.

Do Me One.

- Pete!

- What?

- What Do We Do With The Twine?

- Twine? Who Needs Twine?

Have You Seen Angela?

I Don't Know Where She Is.

No, I Think She

Might Have Gone

Home Or Something.

Well...

Angela Organized

This Whole Thing.

Poole, Take Over.

For Real Though,

I Have Like A Mile

And A Half Of Twine Here.

Any Idea?

Come On.

You Could...

Build Something.

( Sputtering )

Angela!

- Hi.

- Hey.

Why Aren't You

Building The Float?

The Better Question Is

How Come You're Not

Building The Float?

Angela, What's Wrong?

- ( Sniffles )

- What Happened?

I Got A Text Message Today

From Houston.

I Got Dumped

In A Stupid Text Message,

Can You Believe It?

Coward.

Did You Know

That 86% Of All Long-

Distance Relationships

Are Doomed To Failure?

That Sounds High.

Yeah, Well,

He Attached A Link.

I Checked It Out.

It's Pretty Accurate.

Stupid Debaters.

That Must've Been

A Pretty Annoying

Habit To Deal With.

Must Be Lots Of Other

Lame Stuff About Him.

Uh, I Don't Know.

I Don't Want To

Rip On The Guy.

He Broke Up

With You With A Text.

- Dude Sleeps

With His Rabbit!

- Weak.

And He Refuses

To Eat Anything

That's Not Orange.

- What A Loser.

- And He Dry Heaves A Lot.

Well, That's--

That's Kind Of

A Clinical Condition.

There's Really Not

Anything He Can Do About--

Pete?

( Chuckles )

Um...

Angela, Have I Ever

Dry Heaved Around You?

No. And Believe Me,

I Would Have Remembered.

Yeah, Cool.

Well, We Can Talk

About Dry Heaving Some More

Or We Can Go Build A Float.

I Think I'll Go

With Building A Float.

Me Too.

Come On.

Car's Right Up Here.

I Think I'll Take You Up

On That Ride.

I Don't Think

I Can Make You Walk.

( Marching Band Playing )

- Go Roosters!

- ( Parents Chattering )

Can You

Believe It, Deputy?

All These People

Voted For Me.

They Didn't All Vote

For You, Uncle Lou.

It Wasn't Exactly

A Landslide.

Don't Call Me

Uncle Lou.

( Crowd Cheering, Chanting )

( Whistle Blows )

Cock-A-Doodle-Do It!

Whoo!

Whoo-Hoo!

- ( Pop Music Playing )

- Go, Roosters!

Whoo! Go, Roosters!

Uh-Oh, Why You

Holding Back Now?

Don't You Know,

It's Time To Let Your

Inner Freak Out?

- Uh-Oh

- Uh-Oh

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us

Not When The Beat Is Kicki'

Like This Does

Why Should I Care About

The Opinion Of Others?

I Don't Want To Spend My Tie

Hiding Under The Covers

Scared To Let It Loose,

Let Myself Go And

Just Be Free

So I'ma Do What I Do Best,

That Means I'ma Do Me

Okay, Now, Don't Stop

With Me And No Doubt,

They Are My Friends

Don't Gotta Act

Like Someone Else

I Don't Have To Pretend

Used To Be A Little Shy,

Can You Believe It's True?

But Then I Learned

To Shed My Skin

And You Can Do It Too

- Man:
What?!

- Girl:
Who's The Chicken?

- Cleatus?

Huh?

Who's Uh-- Who Is

This Cleatus You Speak Of?

I'm Pecos Bill.

- What?

- But, Cleatus,

You're The Chicken.

( Stammering )

But-- But My Son

Is The Chicken.

Why Isn't He

In The Chicken Suit?

Jamie:

Great.

Now I Totally Made Out

With Poole For No Reason.

Uh--

So Who's The Chicken?

Man... Bawk!

( Squawking )

We've Been Bamboozled!

Get Him!

Man:

Get That Chicken!

( Car Horn Blaring )

( All Shouting )

I Was Hoping

It Wasn't Poole.

You Went And Dropped

Your Hat, Uncle Lou.

( Laughing )

That Was Crazy!

Oh, No, No, No, No!

Okay! Okay! Jamie!

Baby, Listen,

This Doesn't Mean

We Have To Break Up.

Oh-Ho-Ho!

We're Breaking Up!

- Expect A Visit From

The Wrestling Team.

- Okay, Will Do.

- Let's Get Him Out Of Here.

- ( Poole Protesting )

Law Enforcement

At Work Here, Folks.

( Siren Wailing )

Poole:

Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Rock, Paper, Sci--

You Know, It's A Lot

More Fun When We Both Play.

Hi, Uncle Lou.

The Boys Found Your Car,

But That Chicken

Was Long Gone.

- Don't Call Me Uncle Lou.

- Why Not?

Because People Will

Think I Hired You

Because We're Related.

Let Me Get This Straight.

You're The Chicken?

- Officially.

- Yeah, But Somebody Else

Was In The Suit, Right?

Oh, You're Both Smart.

So Everyone Thought

You Were In The Suit,

But You Really Weren't.
