00:00Sometimes you can run, sometimes you can hide.
00:11But sooner or later, you're going to have to stand up
00:14and stare danger right in the face
00:16and threaten to tell its parents.
00:18Let them handle that stuff.
00:24Tickle took his winnings from the big race
00:26and decided to double down
00:28by opening his own casino.
00:30High roller wins again.
00:31Where he proved the house doesn't always win.
00:34You don't have enough to back my bet, do you?
00:36With nothing left to offer his pursuers,
00:39Tickle's arranged for what he considers
00:41a clandestine meeting.
00:51Drunk cow always walks north.
00:55Is that supposed to mean something to me?
00:58It's cold, man.
01:00Cut through all the bullshit
01:02and tell me why you drug my ass down here.
01:05Well, this will explain it.
01:13Well, that's pretty damn pathetic.
01:16I'm out of options, Bill.
01:18I'm out of shine, I'm out of money.
01:20This guy's closing in, and he's closing in fast on me.
01:23I need your help.
01:25I really don't want to get involved in it.
01:27Matter of fact, don't come by the shop.
01:30I don't have nothing to do with you.
01:33You just gonna bail out on me like that?
01:35After all the time we done spent together?
01:38You Grandpa Bill?
01:40Not to you.
01:42Bill, how's it going today?
01:44What the hell you want?
01:45Damn, boy, you like a bad penny.
01:46Just keep showing up.
01:47Here's living proof.
01:49Can't trust you.
01:50Don't flash your cash.
01:51What?
01:52Riddles.
01:53That's not a riddle.
01:54What, do I look like Ghostbusters?
01:55Get your little bony ass off of my property?
01:57All right.
01:59Tough love.
02:01Bill, you gotta help.
02:05They say you can run, but you can't hide.
02:08That's not true.
02:10If they can't find you, they can't hurt you.
02:13Where am I supposed to hide, Bill?
02:15Bill?
02:18Tickle will never disappear as well as Bill,
02:21but some people are a lot easier to hide from than others.
02:26What's up, Buttercup?
02:28Where's your little buddy at?
02:29Tickle?
02:30Yeah.
02:31No one seems to know exactly where Tickle's been,
02:32but there has been some weird Tickle sightings
02:34over the last few days.
02:40Welcome to Dairy Queen.
02:41Can I take your order?
02:42Can I get a cheeseburger?
02:43All right, I got a cheeseburger.
02:44May I get you anything else today?
02:47I want some ice cream, too.
02:50He has shut himself up in the carriage house
02:53and won't come out.
02:54God.
02:55Is he drunk?
02:56I am not sure.
02:57He's been out there long enough to be drunk,
02:59so maybe you guys can come out.
03:01All right, we'll get it.
03:02Thank you, Megan.
03:03If I was stuck in the shop all day with Megan,
03:04I'd probably lock myself in the carriage house, too.
03:06If we ain't back in 20 minutes, we're drunk, too.
03:09That's what I'm talking about.
03:18Tickle!
03:19Who is it?
03:20Tickle, what are you doing, boy?
03:22Open up, man, it's us.
03:24What's the password?
03:26Moonshot?
03:27Nope.
03:28He's fucked up as a flip-flop, ain't he?
03:30Are you drunk?
03:31Yeah, a little.
03:32I ain't letting you in without a password.
03:33The password is Tickle's crazy.
03:36No.
03:37No, Tickle is not.
03:38Yeah, he is.
03:39You know, your cheese done slid off his cracker, boy.
03:42Screw you, man.
03:43What?
03:44Get in here, man.
03:46What in the world is wrong with you, dude?
03:50I still kind of want to know what the password is.
03:52Probably right now is not the right time to ask.
03:54What's the deal?
03:55Why are you locking us out, man?
03:56There's people watching me.
03:57What are you talking about, man?
03:59You've been held up in there for days drinking moonshine.
04:01Y'all hadn't seen this?
04:02I did not see it.
04:03I don't know what you're talking about, man.
04:05People watching me all the time.
04:08Tickle, I think you just need some sleep, bro.
04:10No, I'm telling you, my house is bugged.
04:12Your house ain't bugged.
04:13He done got to the old lady, too.
04:15And the stuff she's asking me, it's got to be coming straight from him.
04:18Tickle!
04:20What are you doing leaving the seat up again?
04:25You're acting a little bit on the psychotic side, man.
04:27You got me worried, dude.
04:28Listen.
04:29We got to get the money to pay this guy off and now.
04:32He knows.
04:33You sure?
04:34It's either that or we're dead.
04:36Tickle's showing all the classic signs of shyness and madness.
04:39That's a persistent belief that everyone's out to get you.
04:42Normally brought on by stealing someone's moonshine out the woods.
04:45Come on, dude.
04:46You need to get out of here.
04:47This place is getting to you.
04:48Yeah, you've been here for too long, dude.
04:49Something done cross wires, man.
04:51You've been using the bathroom mat, man.
04:54Don't worry about all that.
04:56Let's just get out of here.
04:57Someone should worry about that if they want to get their security deposit back.
05:01But the gang's got bigger concerns than who'll clean up Tickle's latest mess.
05:05All right, y'all.
05:07Now, what exactly is this all about?
05:10About making money.
05:11We've been not very successful at what we've been doing so far, so.
05:15It's not going good around here.
05:17No, it's not going good.
05:19The only way you're going to make good money is by hard work.
05:25Both of them two hands right there.
05:27I'm worried about Tickle.
05:28He's never even considered working in Honest Dave's work.
05:31So, what, you got any ideas, anybody?
05:34I do have a great idea.
05:36What is it?
05:37My dog just went in heat.
05:38Yeah?
05:39Get together a stud service.
05:40I can rent her out.
05:41They're canine escorts, huh?
05:43Yeah.
05:44You got a minute to let the pimp howl at you?
05:45A what?
05:46Do this pretty little thing right here.
05:48You into breeding?
05:49Don't be dumb.
05:50Come get you some.
05:51These girls are ready.
05:52They hot.
05:53Oh, easy, little mama.
05:54You my number one.
05:55This has had to be one of the stupidest things I believe I've seen.
05:58Stupid sales, brother.
06:00If stupid sales, Howard would have gotten rich off of one of these crazy ideas.
06:04I mean, look.
06:06It's a front scratcher.
06:08A back scratcher for your front.
06:10Since y'all are throwing out crazy ideas, why don't one of y'all donate a kidney?
06:15You're the mother.
06:16You're the one who's supposed to be giving and loving.
06:19I'll give a kidney.
06:20I'm going to die.
06:22I got a lot of shine to filter.
06:24When you got two, you only need one.
06:26You got four.
06:27What do you need all four of them for?
06:29I mean, that's just damn right greedy.
06:32Time for scheming and scamming is over.
06:35Time to put them two hands to hard work.
06:37Tickle's wrong.
06:38It's about working smarter, not harder.
06:40That's why I went out and bought a goat.
06:43All you got to do is keep it safe, feed it, clean up after it,
06:46and I never have to mow the lawn again.
06:48Well, I'm going to tell you what.
06:49Let's all meet back at camp and see who made the most money this week.
06:52Sounds good to me.
06:53With the clock running down and Tickle's life on the line,
06:56his best friends get right to work finding a solution.
07:00This is damn flawless, man.
07:02What happened to the other one that you had with the beer thing?
07:06Use the cup for your fishing pole.
07:08You set the hook.
07:12Oh, that was too much foam, cousin.
07:13I've had to eliminate that.
07:14I mean, this is damn flawless.
07:16Look at the gyronomics on this thing.
07:18The gyronomics, huh?
07:19Yeah, cousin.
07:20Once you become a scientist like myself, you learn these words.
07:24Man, what the hell do you reckon is going on with Tickle and all this paranoia crap?
07:26He's gone crazy, that's for sure.
07:28I don't know, man.
07:29There might be some validity to it.
07:30I mean, I don't want to get killed if this man's for real.
07:32Oh, that's just a bunch of baloney.
07:34Tickle's just paranoid and crazy.
07:36You got stupid ideas and we can't catch no fish.
07:38Just a bad day.
07:40You done scared him away, you're ugly.
07:42Be quiet, you're scaring the fish.
07:47Stop looking at me like that, man.
07:49I got the perfect idea.
07:50What you got rumbling around in your head now?
07:52I hope it's better than that.
07:53I know a man that'll buy Sasquatch videos.
07:56What, we gonna call up the Sasquatch?
07:58No, dummy, you're gonna be the Sasquatch.
08:01You're crazy, man.
08:02I videotape it with my camera phone.
08:05You look like it.
08:06You got the beard, you're hairy-chested, you stink.
08:09No better part to put that on.
08:10I resent that last remark.
08:12You don't even need much fur.
08:14I can get you running through the woods naked and I can sell it.
08:17Twigs and berries, right?
08:19Well, Sasquatch don't be wearing no pants anyways, brother.
08:21He just got a little fuzzy nuts.
08:23I reckon I fit the part there.
08:25God, cousin.
08:27I'm telling you, this will work.
08:28You got the look, man.
08:29All I got to do is put a little makeup on you or something, man.
08:31You'll wash up and you'll look like a damn Sasquatch.
08:34Well, I got to be ugly.
08:35I thought Sasquatch was a beautiful creature.
08:37Can I be a pretty Sasquatch?
08:39I mean, I can put bows on you if you want.
08:41You can have some pink bows if it helps you.
08:43I'll do your nails.
08:44I don't care.
08:45I don't know if that'll sell.
08:46I'm sure Mo will be the prettiest Bigfoot in Gretna,
08:50or at least in the top three.
08:53Where am I supposed to hide, Bill?
08:55Bill?
08:56Abandoned by his mentor, Grandpa Bill.
08:58There's people watching me.
09:00He's certain that his enemies are closing in.
09:02Time to put them two hands to hard work.
09:05Tickle's so desperate for money, he's willing to earn it.
09:08The time for get-rich-quick schemes is over.
09:12It's time for get-fiscally-responsible-slowly schemes.
09:15I'll try this one out.
09:19When somebody you owe money to finds you hiding, you're dead.
09:23But when they find you working your butt off to pay them back,
09:26now how could they be mad at that?
09:29Hi.
09:30Hello.
09:31My name is Tickle.
09:32How you doing today?
09:33I'm good.
09:34How are you?
09:35I'm doing all right.
09:36I was driving through the neighborhood,
09:37and I noticed your lawn could use some mowing.
09:38Well, actually, I got two kids
09:39that I've paid from the neighborhood to do it.
09:41All I need is a good sales pitch
09:43and some of the old Tickle charm.
09:46Look, I got years of experience on these kids,
09:49and I can do a whole lot better than what they're doing, okay?
09:53All right, we'll give it a shot.
09:55All right, thank you.
09:56Thanks.
09:58Usually I spend all summer cutting my own grass for free.
10:02Now I'm getting paid for it,
10:04and nobody's yelling out the window that I'm doing it wrong.
10:07Tickle!
10:10Of course, that doesn't mean he's actually doing it right.
10:15Uh-oh.
10:18Tickle's trying, but nothing teaches a child,
10:22responsibility like a summer job.
10:33Hey, man, what do you think you're doing?
10:35Cutting grass.
10:36This is our neighborhood, man.
10:37We handle the grass cutting around here.
10:39You're used to it.
10:40We'll see.
10:41I got grass to cut.
10:43What's up?
10:46Whoa, whoa, whoa.
10:53This is my lawn now.
10:55All done.
10:57What do you think?
10:58It looks good, right?
10:59It looks good.
11:00I thought I had some flowers, though.
11:04No, all that's just like it was, just like it was.
11:08Okay, so don't forget, tell all your friends about me, okay?
11:11Okay, thanks.
11:12I'll be back to see you next week, all right?
11:14All right, thank you.
11:15Bye.
11:16While Tickle discovers the value of hard work 30 years late,
11:19Howard's about to discover whether or not a plan failing in the woods makes a sound.
11:24If I was a Sasquatch, this would be my damn living room, brother.
11:27Look, I've had the man cave over here.
11:30Those look pretty good, man.
11:32You smell that?
11:33Yeah.
11:34It smells like a Bigfoot took a dump around here.
11:36Excuse me.
11:37No, that's not Bigfoot.
11:38No, that was Little Foot.
11:40People pay a lot of money for a Sasquatch video.
11:42Oh, yeah.
11:43Oh, my God.
11:44It's like the days when you played football, cousin.
11:46I'm going to make you a warrior.
11:47And Moe's the closest thing I have to a Bigfoot around here.
11:49You look good, man.
11:50Open up.
11:51They stuck together.
11:52Can't see.
11:53Moe's already big, hairy, and smelly.
11:55Should the long side be in the front?
11:58He loves the woods.
11:59It won't take much convincing to make people believe he's a Bigfoot.
12:01I'm going to stitch you up like a baby.
12:03Oh, did you lose, boy?
12:05Not so tight.
12:06That's it.
12:07You look like a Sasquatch.
12:08How's that feel?
12:11Feels like I've got duct tape up my ass.
12:13That's how it feels.
12:14This duct tape's kind of snug, but I don't know.
12:17Other than that, this just feels kind of right.
12:20Yet, it's so very, very wrong.
12:26Like it?
12:27Greetings.
12:28You don't think I can do this?
12:29Have a seat.
12:31Tickle's just jealous because I have the best ideas around here.
12:34Of course, I did have the worst idea when I decided to work here.
12:38What are you going to do?
12:39Flip some cards or something?
12:40I don't even need to flip cards to read your mind.
12:43Well, what am I thinking then?
12:46You stole a guy's moonshine.
12:48You're using the store as a front to sell it.
12:51And you've got to make back the money to pay the guy before he ends up killing you.
12:55Did I read your mind?
12:57I don't know about reading my mind.
12:58I guess maybe you've been paying attention.
13:00I'm always paying attention.
13:02Well, look, if this is bringing in money, then keep doing it.
13:05$80 a session?
13:07How many sessions of this you got?
13:09The rest of the week is booked.
13:11Holy crap.
13:12Hell, for that much money, I'll become a psychic.
13:15I'm going to hold up a picture and tell you exactly what you're thinking.
13:23Big dummy.
13:25By the way, I'm not paying for this session.
13:33Sit for the ride, cousin.
13:35Here's to making movies.
13:37Remember, I want you to enter Bigfoot.
13:39Growl.
13:41All right?
13:43Let me hear it.
13:45Okay, that's it. That's what I'm looking for.
13:47Go with the gusto. Now get in there.
13:51Make it look good. I want to hear it. Sell it.
13:55All right, there we go.
13:57Loud and proud.
13:59Big dummy, you're going the wrong way.
14:02You don't come out where I can see you.
14:04Come on back through, cousin. Let's try this, man.
14:07Where the hell are you going now?
14:10Hey!
14:15Thanks for coming in to see me. What can I help you with?
14:17Me and my wife, we have two kids.
14:19We're leaning on not having anymore, but I'm kind of scared of getting you now.
14:23Well, we'll consult the cards and see what they have to say.
14:27Death?
14:28The death card? Am I going to die?
14:30The death card isn't always bad.
14:32It just depends on what it's next to.
14:37Three death cards.
14:41I swear, there's only supposed to be one of those in this deck.
14:44What does that mean?
14:46It's going to bring on the death of all of your worries.
14:52All right, cousin, from the top, let's do this now. Get it right.
14:56Sounds good.
14:58Okay, mark your territory.
15:00What the hell are you doing, cousin? Bring that here, you idiot.
15:05Come on, man. You got to take this serious. Give me the jug.
15:09I'm just trying to stay in character.
15:11There's only two things we know about Sasquatch.
15:13One, they love moonshine.
15:15And two, they don't talk.
15:17Get back in there. Let's get it right this time.
15:20There we go.
15:21Check a tree.
15:25Oh yeah, this looks good. Looks good.
15:31Mark it.
15:34This is the money shot, Mo.
15:38Yeah, that's it. That's it.
15:40It's looking good.
15:42What's wrong, man?
15:43That's it. I ain't doing it no more. That's it.
15:45Hold on, brother.
15:47Motivation's on the way.
15:50My husband, he plays cards.
15:53Sometimes, like, till four in the morning.
15:56Is my husband really playing cards, or is he really cheating?
15:59Well, let's consult the cards, and we'll find out.
16:03Betrayal.
16:05Oh.
16:06The fool.
16:07Does that mean I'm the fool?
16:08No, no.
16:09It's just...
16:10I don't think he's fooling you at all. I think it's everyone else.
16:14People will believe anything you tell them,
16:17as long as you throw in some good news and compliments.
16:20But I'm sure someone as good-looking as you already knew that.
16:25Was that believable?
16:26Was that believable?
16:27You know what?
16:28I see another appointment in your future.
16:35It's all right, man. It's all right.
16:37Come on.
16:39It's all right.
16:49Never trust them sasquatch.
16:51They're tricky.
16:53I need some help.
16:54You're all right.
16:55Hold on, cousin.
16:56Hold on.
16:59$$%& man.
17:02Thank you, buddy.
17:07Clearly, Bigfoot's only natural enemy is sobriety.
17:11Oh, spider.
17:13And spiders.
17:19What politics actually is,
17:21is a race to see who can stuff the much crap in a burlap sack the quickest.
17:27And whoever's got the biggest sack at the end of the race wins.
17:30Right?
17:31Just so happens we got some burlap sacks.
17:33Well, you know what?
17:34They're full of crap.
17:35I'm tired of the burlap sack, and I'm tired of the crap.
17:38Yeah.
17:40Here's what I propose to do.
17:41That's it, buddy.
17:42I propose to take the burlap sack full of crap
17:45and dump it right on everybody who's stuffing the crap in it.
17:48Who's stuffing the crap in it.
17:51And they ain't used to being dirty.
17:52Nah.
17:53And working.
17:54Ain't seen a dirty man.
17:55They're paying somebody to put the crap in the sack.
17:57Yeah.
17:58Can't even do it to self, can they?
17:59Exactly.
18:00By the time a little bit of that crap gets on them, they done.
18:02Well, you want to be a crap sack stuffer?
18:06It pays good.
18:07I mean, you know.
18:08Depends on what the benefits look like.
18:10It's going to be $%&&, I promise.
18:12$%&&.
18:17Oh, yeah, this looks good.
18:18After getting back to nature,
18:20$%&&, I'm drunk.
18:22Howard and Moe have managed to get a meeting with Gretna's most respected Bigfoot expert.
18:27Hey, honey.
18:28There's some boys here to see you.
18:29All right, send them in, Mom.
18:31Who is not yet an expert on talking to girls.
18:34Hey, boy, how's it going?
18:35What's up, man?
18:36We got a video, brother.
18:37You won't believe it, man.
18:38It was a damn monkey the size of, I don't know.
18:40No, it wasn't.
18:41It was a Sasquatch, Bigfoot.
18:43A Bigfoot around here?
18:44Yeah, it was a great big one, too.
18:45I mean, he must have been 10 foot tall, wasn't he?
18:48Look, plug him in.
18:49You ain't going to believe this.
18:50This kid is crazy about big feet.
18:51One time, he paid $300 just for one Sasquatch turd.
18:54It's crazy, man.
18:55It's the biggest thing I've ever seen, man.
18:56I don't know if it's going to kill us, eat us, or what.
18:58This video's got to be worth at least four turds.
19:00I don't know.
19:01I don't see nothing yet.
19:02He's in there, man.
19:03I promise you he's in there.
19:05I mean, we caught him walking good.
19:06Look, there he is.
19:07See him?
19:08See him?
19:09Look.
19:10Yeah.
19:11That thing's every bit of 18 feet tall, man.
19:12Now that I look at it again.
19:13I mean, it's huge, dude.
19:15Absolutely phenomenal.
19:16I'm telling you.
19:17You've never seen nothing like this in your life.
19:19Yeah.
19:20I wish you could smell on TV, I tell you.
19:22Yeah.
19:23This kid's got to believe us.
19:24I mean, I've given my best performance since I was
19:26the lead role in our school play.
19:28There's no place like home.
19:30There's no place like home.
19:34All right.
19:35So what do you think, man?
19:38Well...
19:41I think I'm going to put this on part ten of my
19:43DVD collection, Unexplained Phenomenon.
19:45Outstanding.
19:46Cool, man.
19:47I'm glad to hear that.
19:48Yeah.
19:49Let me know if you find anything else, too.
19:50We'll do it, brother.
19:51Thank you very much, man.
19:53If they're that excited about being on one DVD,
19:56imagine if it goes viral or even airs on television.
20:00I'm going to show you what fat stacks look like.
20:02Look at that, boy.
20:04That's exactly what we need right there.
20:06That's $2,500, bro.
20:07$2,500 right there.
20:10Look, I ain't do quite as good,
20:12but I got five on mowing grass.
20:14Five for going legit?
20:16The first couple of loans went well,
20:18but then I remembered something I had to take care of.
20:25Howard doesn't need to know that the rest of that money
20:27is a loan from Dana, and neither does Dana.
20:30Well, you know what?
20:31I done what I had to do.
20:32I made some good, honest money.
20:33Legit, not legit.
20:35Who says crime don't pay?
20:37Exactly.
20:38It just boils down to this.
20:39Hey!
20:40Oh!
20:42How much is it?
20:43$2,000.
20:44Not bad for a size.
20:45That's awesome.
20:46$5,000, though, is not enough.
20:48By the way, guy came by the store today looking for you.
20:52Can I help you?
20:53I'm looking for Tickle.
20:54Tickle's not here.
20:55I'm looking for something he has of mine.
20:57He said you had something that he wanted.
21:01Even if you got people willing to stand with you
21:04to the bitter end,
21:05the end's still gonna be pretty damn bitter.
21:07So eventually, you're gonna have to man up
21:10and swallow your pride.
21:11And if you're lucky, it might even taste good.
21:15We up S***y Creek without a paddle.
