and she has to see who is the best king.

And she will not talk until she does.

Okay. Well, let's do a little dance

for Qwali, then.

- Hey, Evan.

- Hey, what's going on, man?

How are you...

- Okay. How's that?

- Horrible.

You have to get on that thing,

so she can see you.

Hey, look. l'm not getting up

on the stage, all right?

She won't talk to you.

Okay, l'm gonna go get up on the stage.

Oh, come on! She can't see that!

She's way, way up there.

Hey, all right, okay. Take it easy here.

More! Bigger!

Like that? Like this? No? Yes?

To the beat! Can't you hear the music?

To the beat? l don't hear the beat.

Check it out.

l hear the snickers.

lt's spinning music!

- Spinning, with your arms out!

- You mean like a waltz?

Like a waltz you're talking about. Okay.

- That's the best l could do.

- No, it was good. She liked it.

You can go to the ball!

Okay, all right.

Qwali said it was good.

l can go to the ball.

Now, did you ask Qwali

how she feels about VallaTech?

Bottom line, sir,

is that VallaTech is stuck up

and doesn't play nice with others.

l say we cut it out.

- Really?

- Yeah.

l know this sounds a little unorthodox,

but here's something else

you need to know.

lt has a big butt?

A big ol' butt with a shelf on it.

l think if you look at DarbaCon's

bloated end-of-the-year rollover...

...you'll see it has pretty hair

and all the boys are looking at it.

Well, if he said it wets the bed,

then it wets the bed.

What else did he say?

This little company goes

wee-wee-wee-wee all the way home.

- Did you say, "Wee-wee-wee-wee"?

- Yes. All the way home.

- And people are buying that?

- By the millions.

lcky, icky, icky. Gross. Yucky.

Rose, is Evan seeing a psychic?

Not that l'm aware of.

lt's fizzy like a soda pop.

- ls he a psychic?

- No, l don't believe he is.

lt's old enough to start wearing makeup.

"Ready for makeup." You feeling this?

He says your funds are mature,

and now it's time to start diversifying.

Specifically, for A.l.,

what l'm thinking is Argenteeny Pinkini.

- l'm feeling that.

- Hey, l want some of that.

Back off, dawg. lt's mine.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! There's enough

lip gloss to go around for everybody.

Agroco is a crybaby who always

goes running to Mommy.

- That's your analysis.

- Yes, it is.

- And you recommend l...

- Sell.

- Sell the crybaby.

- Sell the crybaby.

ls this some kind ofjoke, Tom?

- No, Carl. lt's not.

- Because it seems...

- l know, a little different.

- A little?

Why don't we hear

what Mr. Whitefeather has to say?

Yes. Johnny, would you like to

toss some spear at some tatonka,

or cast some venison into the potlatch?

No, l wouldn't.

l'd like to take this seriously.

There's a great deal of money

at stake here, Mr. Simons.

l think that you should move forward

on Agroco, aggressively.

lncrease your holdings.

And a gentleman

by the name of Dante D'Enzo

happens to concur with my position.

His company, D.D.E. lnvestments,

is looking to increase

their holdings by 25%.

So l think if we're going to make a move,

we have to do it rather quickly.

lf you're ready, l'm ready.

Let's make some money.

That's my "venison."

Evan? Your thoughts?

Well, l think that's interesting.

l think that's very interesting.

Very, very, very interesting

that Dante D'Enzo would say in

and l would say out.

That's interesting, l think.

What l'm going to do now

is l'm gonna go to the restroom,

and l'm gonna think this through,

and l'm gonna re-crunch some numbers

and get right back to you, gentlemen.

Excuse me.

So...

These look great.

Evan?

- Hey. Hey. What are you doing here?

- Flyers for Saturday. The Fall Sing.

We're on lunch,

so l'm just dropping them off.

- Hey, how you doing? l'm Rick.

- Rick.

Rick's son, Henry, is in kindergarten.

Yeah, so you're Rick.

You're the sculpture, sculptor.

l saw your little thing that you did

at the Comerica building.

- Yeah.

- Very metallic and pointy.

And unfairly criticized, l might add.

Look, l got some last-minute

parenting thing l gotta do with Olivia.

Nice meeting you, Rick.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Sorry to interrupt. lt's Mr. Danielson.

- Can l talk to Olivia for one second?

- Sure.

l'll be brief. Olivia,

come talk to Daddy, please?

Hi, everybody.

l have some quick questions for Qwali

about Agroco. Where should we go?

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Okay. Did you bring the goo-gaa?

All right. Okay.

l knew you would. Okay, perfect, perfect,

perfect. Blanket up. Rub in fast circles.

l smell something burning.

lt's Sopida's dragon! Here she is!

Mopida and Kupida! Good to see you!

Time to dance!

- That's it.

- What are they doing?

l have no idea.

- She's really sure?

- And she says you agree with her.

- l do?

- Don't you?

- Yeah, l guess l do, sort of.

- Okay.

Okay, give me a high five.

- Wish me luck.

- Good luck.

Put this back in. All right, tell no one!

So you're saying that Dante D'Enzo

is totally wrong on this.

Yes.

And your inner child says that

we should completely

pull out ofAgroco.

Yes.

Okay. l think l'm going to go with

what Mr. Whitefeather

has put together here.

lt seems better.

- l am going to have the venison.

- lt's a savory meat.

Doctor's office.

l know you say Qwali's never wrong,

but l think we both were this time.

lfjust Mopida says it

orjust Kupida says it,

it could be wrong.

But if Qwali says it, it's never wrong.

Well, l think

she kind of was wrong this time.

- She was not.

- Yes, she was.

- Was not.

- Yes, she was.

Not.

Actually, not.

Ha, ha, you're just trying to get me

to say "was."

No, she really wasn't wrong.

D'Enzo pulled out ofAgroco,

which is down 12%.

"Agroco cries foul,

hides behind parent company."

Crybaby runs to Mommy.

- How are you doing this?

- lt's easy.

You just overlap them

and it makes a pyramid.

Olivia? We're ready for you, sweetie.

Time for your shot.

You did a really good job in there.

l'm really proud of you.

For that, we're gonna get

a special ice cream treat.

- l cried, though.

- But you did good.

You see, when l was your age

l had to get a shot,

l was running, screaming,

"Don't stab me! Don't stab me!"

No, you wouldn't.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me, please!"

How you doing, sir? What can l get you?

Can we get two juice bars?

- So, who wants pancakes for dinner?

- l do.

Yeah, that's what l say.

No, we're not going to pour it yet.

Put butter on it.

Gotta put a small amount of butter.

- You put too much butter.

- No, that's enough.

Looks like Sopida's dragon

got to this one.

- Hey!

- That's gonna be your stack.

You keep going here

and l'll go set up the restaurant.

The restaurant? What restaurant?

- Allow me to tell you the specials.

- Please do.

Pancakes.

We have kind of burnt pancakes

and really burnt pancakes.

Okay, well, how much for the regular?

- Let me see. $3,000.

- And how much for the kind of burnt?

- Forty-seven cents.

- Okay, let me have the kind of burnts.
