- Making a living.

IDA:
Well, the good news is

we're outta that monkey hut.

GLADYS:
Oh, yeah.

Mrs. Krumble.

Mrs. Krumble, wait.

- Oh, God, not another one.

- No, no, it's not like that.

Mrs. Krumble, guys,

we just want you to know...

What, that you're

gonna give him a dryer

if he comes back on your show

and makes a monkey

out of himself?

That's not a bad comeback.

Look, if there's

anything we can do.

No. No, there isn't,

You've done enough, thank you.

Eddie, come on.

Hey, you know, I guess

TV's pretty cool, right?

As long as the whole world's

not laughing at you.

Yeah, hey. You know?

CHRIS:
Goodbye, Mr. Stinkman.

JAYME:
Bye, Chris.

Hey, big thing

at the supermarket, guys.

Happy National Nut Day!

- Happy National Nut Day?

- I'm emotional.

[MAN TALKING INDISTINCTLY

ON THE RADIO]

[CAMERA CLICKS]

I'm gonna get

something to drink.

You want anything?

It's a little doggie.

"Saw you guys on TV last night."

[PIG SQUEALING]

What the...

[GRUNTING]

Okay, it's, uh...

There's a pig.

In the parking lot.

How's that work, huh?

- I've seen it all.

- Hey, man, what's going on?

- Hey!

- Pretty dog.

Hey, Judy.

CHRIS:
Judy!

Hi, Chris.

Hey, uh...

Before you say anything,

I just want to tell you that...

I love you, also.

Come on.

What?

I love you, Eddie.

For real?

I love you.

All right, okay.

Um, I don't know

what to say.

Okay.

I love you too.

I love you too.

You know that, right?

Do you know

that I'm nuts about you?

No.

I'm crazy about you,

are you kidding me?

Yeah. I'm National Nut Day

nuts about you.

[GOAT BLEATS]

Hi, Grady.

He's got one horn.

- He's very excited to meet you.

- Apparently.

[BLEATS]

I'm so sorry about everything,

I just, I got out of my head.

Things got out of control,

and I didn't know how to,

I didn't know how to handle it,

and I did the wrong thing,

right?

I'm so sorry.

But you're here.

You came back.

I don't know where you went,

but you're back.

- I came from around the corner.

- That's unbelievable.

What are the odds?

What are the odds?

I love you, you love me.

[LAUGHS]

You know what?

Let's get married.

What?

Let's get married.

Yeah, come on.

I mean, we love each other.

Don't think about it too much

because if you give me time,

I will screw it up,

I promise you.

- Okay.

- Okay. Wait. Okay?

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Huh? Wait, what?

- I mean, will you?

- Yes.

- Yes?

- Yes.

All right! Yes?

- Yes!

- Yes!

We're getting married!

Chris, we're getting married!

Come on! Oh, my God!

We're getting married!

Are you kidding me?

Oh, my God,

you're the best.

I missed you, Eddie.

["THE YEAR I WAS BORN"

BY JESSE MALIN PLAYS]

MAN:
Okay, let's get

some smiles in here.

Come on, look at the pig.

He'll make you smile.

Remember, it's a wedding,

not a funeral.

One, two, three!

Got you!

Get on, get on, get on

They say

It's all about the chase

Get on, get on, get on

Some things you

Just can't escape

Bye, bye, bye

When all your life goes by

Bye, bye, bye, and bye

I tell you

I won't let you down

But I think

I might've spoke too soon

I never said

I could be friends

With everybody in the room

Get on, get on, get on

See the lines on my face

Come on, come on, come on

You know the night

Is getting late

Bye, bye, bye

When all your life goes by

Bye, bye, bye, and bye

Monday

Another whistle blows

Tuesday

I'm going to a show

Friday

I'm a working stiff

You don't know how I live

Your favorite film

Opened up

The year that I was born

I didn't know

What to say to you

But I knew we'd get along...

Hi, I'm Billy Blanks.

- Nice to meet you.

- How can I help you?

I would like to become fit.

Your left shoulder.

Left, right, just like that.

One.

- Two, three...

- Okay, now hold that squat now.

What I want you to do is not

move your body

so much like this.

Just a little chuckle.

That's a joke.

When all

Your life goes by...

So it's a spoon and a fork

on a collapsible plate,

all in one, and you don't have

to wait for anything ever?

That's the best invention ever.

And it folds!

- And it's three-dimensional.

- Yeah.

Let me get this straight.

I can eat

anything I want all day,

take one of these pills,

and I'm good?

It is so simple.

It delivers a little grip

without slip.

Grip with no slip!

- Go one, count it.

- Two.

- Go, go.

- Three, four.

- Go.

- [EDDIE GRUNTING]
