Acting Good (2022) s01e03 Episode Script
Three Nobodies
1
This better be the premium shit.
Come on, you know better.
How long have our families
done business?
It's all good?
Fuck yeah.
You got your two-cuts,
your nine-to-elevens,
your opaques, your greasies,
your A-Bs, and your flats.
But, I gotta warn ya:
The flats,
not that flat.
- It's all there.
- And remember
I wasn't here.
Agnes: As far back
as I can remember,
I always wanted to be
a beader.
For me, being a beader
is better than being Chief.
I can go anywhere,
I can bead anything.
I know everybody,
and everyone knows
my medallions.
People look at me differently
when they see my beadwork.
I don't have to wait in line
for food at feasts anymore.
And when I leave the store,
rez dogs carry
my groceries home.
You know why?
Out of respect.
'Cause I can
love you Baby
All night long
That was Johnny Toboggan
from Pukatawagan
with their "No Shoes Blues."
And you're listening to
Laughingstick in the morning.
Ahh.
Woke up with an itchy hand,
so I either need to get
to the nursing station,
or get me a lottery ticket.
While I'm out,
here's The Ever Sick Band
with Jard Jard Bannock
and Lard.
You ready?
Yeah, man.
Ha!
Ohhh-poooo-git!
(exhaling deeply)
(inhaling sharply)
Huah!
Oh, your water karate's
gettin' so much better.
Just like Van Damme,
eh bro?
Huah, ha!
You're hittin' the water,
you moo'jeet!
Funny thing about
the water is, ah
It don't hit back.
Easy there, swim shirt.
This, ha!
You thought I was
swimmin' in this?
Joke's on you, bruh.
- Jarr'd!
- Dean: That's crazy, bro.
You gotta wait at least
Thirty minutes
till after you eat,
otherwise, you're gonna cramp.
(laughing)
Only pregnant women
get cramps, bro!
It's the golden rule
of swimming.
That's how
Orville Redenbacher died.
Oh yeah?
Well, watch me pop off!
Bro, you're gonna cramp!
I'm not gonna cramp!
(splash)
Ah, I'm fuckin' cramping!
Help!
(splash)
(heroic music playing)
(Paul yelling and sputtering)
PAUL: You guys
shoulda warned me!
Where's my sandwich?!
Is my sub okay?
- Gimme back my sub!
- Dean: You finished it, bro.
(Paul gasping loudly)
I got the whole thing!
Dean, you're a hero!
It's the karate, bro.
(Paul panting weakly)
- You're okay.
- Where's my mom?!
Ohh!
Hey!
You're here
for your Kitty Scratch?
Oh yeah.
This cat's gotta scratch.
(Agnes laughing)
Come meow!
- Mm?
- I'm feeling
that one!
Right there!
From my lucky spot!
I said that one, Agnes!
I have a feeling
about this one.
I had a vision of you
in a swimming pool
full of soniyaw.
Really?
I too had that vision!
It's calling your name.
Reel it in, Kookum.
- Don't fuck us.
- Scratch me!
You know what?
What the heck!
(laughing)
Papa needs a new van!
Mm!
- Kitty paws.
- Mm hmm.
- Two kitty paws!
- (chuckles)
Ho'leh!
Agnes: Ooh!
Ho'leh!
I won!
Five hundred thousand!
Hot dog!
Agnes: Sign it,
and I'll call it in.
Just leave it here,
and the money will come.
Whoooo!
Laughingstick!
(laughing)
The fake ticket worked!
(cackling)
Can you believe
that nut sack?!
That'll teach him
to cancel bingo.
(laughing)
Kiss me, Creator.
I just won 500,000 big ones
from a Kitty Scratch
at the North Store!
What am I gonna do with it?
It's too early to tell.
Why don't you call in,
and tell me how
you'd blow it all?
(phone ringing)
Hello, you're on the air.
Rita: I'd get butt implants.
I want the biggest cheeks
money can buy!
A real two-seater.
(sighing)
Oh, Chickadee.
Roger: You do you, Rita.
Rose?
Chickadee left her bag behind,
I'm gonna go drop it off.
Rose?
(RC truck humming)
The 'fok'?!
Out of the way,
(speaking Anishanaabemowin).
- What do ya want, Beanpole?
- It's Mavis.
I wanna rent the gym out
to race my RC car.
Get lost!
The gym is for
community events.
Well, I have
a form right here.
(RC truck humming)
I'm not approving that!
(RC truck humming,
Jo sighing angrily)
Jo: Seriously?!
(sighing angrily)
What?
Kitty Scratch?
(growling)
That little shit!
(RC truck humming)
A beautiful thing
Hey, Dean.
Tell me again,
how'd you find the strength
to carry such a large man?
Paul: Pssh!
You don't even weigh
anything in the water!
How do you think
boats do it, ya dumbass?
Like I said. Something just came
over me, and I became
- Van Damme.
- Paul: Pfft, Van Damme?!
More like
Canned ham!
Hey, I'm telling you, bro.
If someone shot a rocket at me,
I'd do the splits
right over it.
Do the splits, then!
Come on, let's see you
do the splits, then!
Hey, Dean, let's watch
the video on the big screen.
Yeah!
Oh, huh!
All talk about
them splits, eh?
- Thought so, huh!
- Dean: Man!
- You look cool, dude.
- Thanks, bro.
(screaming and splashing
from TV)
Paul: I can't move my legs!
(screaming and splashing
Whatcha doin'?
I thought, we haven't been
camping in a while,
and I really missed that.
- Get in.
- But you hate camping.
Last time,
you set your bra on fire
trying to kill
a tick off your back.
No, no, I don't
remember that.
I have a picture.
I told you to delete that!
We're going camping!
Get your little arse
in the truck!
Come on, we'll have fun.
(engine starting)
(screaming from TV)
Agnes: Dean!
I saw the video!
Ma!
You saved my boy!
- And you, the video.
- (Brady chuckling)
It has 300 watchings
on the internet.
Paul: Pfft, as if.
Nobody even uses
the internet anymore!
Brady: Dean, Dean
the save'n machine!
Check out these comments.
- "Best rescue ever!"
- Paul: Pssh.
I've seen way better
rescues.
Dean: "This guy's water
karate sucks?!"
- Agnes: Mm.
- What?!
Oh, wait till that hater
sees we made
The Walking Eagle.
(Agnes gasps)
The Walking Eagle News, what?!
(laughing mockingly)
Nobody reads
newspapers anymore!
Brady: Hey, hero discount
at the store.
- Mm hmm.
- Everything's on me!
All right!
Why is Dean getting
all the credit
when I'm the one
that almost drowned?!
That's the water in
your brain talking.
Ma!
And don't try and use
that chair for sympathy.
It was the nurse
that gave me this chair.
I guess she's my new mom!
(yelling and splashing
from phone)
- Ah, look at Paul.
- (all laughing)
Paul (echoing):
Is my sub okay?
Ma, this isn't the way.
Ma.
This isn't the way.
Badlands?
The fuck?
You think I'm at risk?!
Show you at risk.
Don't you dare,
little Miss Kitty Scratch!
Shit.
Paul: You wanted
to see us, Chief?
What's with the sling?
Dean was just real rough
with me in the water.
This guy
is a real drag, right?
Drowner, more like a downer?
- (laughing)
- Totally.
So, Dean, I don't know
if you know this,
but this award has only
been given to two people
in the history of Grouse Lake.
The first
fought in World War II.
The second was me!
Because as you know,
becoming chief
saved this community
from a real bad vibe.
For your act of heroism,
this medallion
now belongs to you.
- (Dean gasps softly)
- For saving
- Captain Bums-Me-Out over here.
- Dean: Deadly!
You gotta be kidding me.
And Brady,
for keeping calm
while filming the rescue,
you put Grouse Lake
on the map
by getting us in
the illustrious
Walking Eagle News.
For that,
you get a Witness Award.
- Oh, cool!
- Chief DeeDee: Yeah!
Dean: Just think of it:
Before, we were three nobodies.
Now, we're two heroes.
This is some bullshit!
I actually have something
for you, Paul.
This just came to me.
Y'all are gettin'
a world premiere!
Ahh!
Dean
is a real hero
It's true
He saved a real buzz kill.
But was it
the right thing to do?
Oooooh
ooo-ooo-oo
Well I got a new
favourite song.
(guitar wailing)
(guitar echoing)
Oh great.
The skinny bunch is here.
Well, well, well.
Look who it is.
Jo: Beanpole?
Is that you with
a dreamcatcher
cascading on the back
of your head?
Where's Gramps McKay,
I thought he was running this?
Well you thought stupid.
He's away getting
his colon flushed.
Ew.
Welcome to Badlands.
I am your leader,
but think of me merely
as a conduit
to the Creator.
I will be giving you
your daily dose of vitamin C.
FYI, the C
stands for "Creator."
(Jo grunting)
Real sacred, this one.
Why you talking like that, Ma?
You did this to us.
(coins rattling,
classical music playing)
(in posh voice): You're
listening to
Moneybags in the muskeg.
I'm not saying I'm special
or anything,
but most folks would
have quit their jobs
after winning 500 Gs,
but not this ol' neech'.
I coulda bought 17 ATVs,
but I just got one van.
(phone ringing)
Oh!
We have a caller.
Go ahead.
You're on the
air with Moneybags.
Rita: You get that money,
or what?
I heard you don't even
have it yet.
Not yet Rita.
But don't you worry.
It's comin', baby.
Rita: Well, if you're
taking requests,
play Dean's
rescue video, then.
I can't play a video,
Rita.
Rita: Mn'ehh!
Aho!
We are all here today
as one,
for the same reason:
To connect to the land.
- Right sister, Jo?
- Don't you have some
dinky cars to play with?
Take me, for example:
I got my nickname Beanpole
in cruelty many moons ago,
when I was but a skinny teen,
like all of you,
sitting before me.
Who gave me that nickname?
She is with us here, today.
Real long time ago
that was, Beanpole!
That nickname was meant
to inflict pain.
But I embraced it,
for the beanpole
supports the plant
as it grows,
just like I support
all of you beansprouts.
(flies buzzing)
Speaking of growth,
our sister Jo gave me
a sacred wedgie
from the four directions
at recess one time.
(Jo and teens laughing)
We mustn't laugh.
We must support Sister Jo
in her growth.
Our ancestors will be
proud of you too one day,
just as they are of me.
(celestial music plays,
birds screech)
(sighing heavily)
(bird screeches)
(breathing raggedly)
Paul needs the medallion.
Paul
Loves the medallion.
(eerie music playing)
Paul
Wants the medallion.
(Indigenous music playing)
(Paul growling softly)
(Indigenous music intensifying)
(growling)
(Indigenous music
intensifying, stops)
Paul: Sweet dreams
My sweet hero.
For now.
(eerie music playing)
(birds screeching)
Lean-tos will protect you
from the elements
out in the bush.
Our white brothers
like to think
they came up with them,
but our people
have been using them
since "time and memorial."
Now Jo,
get up here and show
our future leaders
how you would make one,
as an alleged leader.
Jo: What?
Just do it.
What?!
You're gonna use
that branch?
Yeah?
That's fine if you want
the wind blowing on you
all night.
Ahh, is this a joke?
You wouldn't survive one night
out here on your own!
Chickadee: Yo, is this what
it's supposed to look like?
Sick!
That's the best, Chickadee.
You're a natural.
You could teach your dead weight
mum a few things.
Oh, fuck off.
How long I gotta be
doin' this for?
'Til you get tired!
Fok, boy, I'm tired.
- What is this movie?
- Paul: Don't worry about it!
How's that sub
sitting with you, heh?
Starting to feel it now, man.
Good.
Mavis: You know, beansprouts.
Just like me, the grouse is an
underestimated opponent.
To hunt it,
you need to be stealth-like.
Aho.
(elastic twanging)
It's also the dumbest bird
in the bush.
It'll walk
right up to you,
and you can kick it
in the face.
(boys chuckling)
I actually like this shit,
and you two old bags
are ruining it.
I get it, but can you
at least admit
how much she sucks?
Can you two just get along
so we can kick some birds
in the face?
I'm sorry, Beanpole!
Sorry Jo, can you
apologize louder?
Hey, you kids wanna hear
a funny story about Beanpole?
Just let it go.
No, I'm good.
Once upon a time,
there was a little grouse
who ate
too many bush berries
when she was a kid,
and shit her pants,
right in front of everybody.
Funny thing is,
she kept the nickname Beanpole
when "Drippy Gitch"
was just as popular.
At least I didn't get caught
kissing my cousin.
He was my second cousin!
Not the first time.
Kids, this is actually
a good time to learn--
Kids?
(Ed splashing,
gasping for air)
I'm starting to cramp!
Real good!
Help, I'm crampin' up!
I'm comin' to save you Ed!
Don't worry about it!
(straining)
Help!
- Don't drown yet!
- Help!
Paul: I'm coming!
- Paul: I can't--
- Dean: I got you, Ed!
- Van Damme's got this.
- No!
Nooo!
No, don't save him!
Anybody but you!
No, let him drown!
Just let him drown!
Ahh, I was
supposed to save him!
(straining)
I can't get
out of my chair!
I need help!
(crackling)
Ah.
God job, you kids!
Yes, I'm hungry!
Beat it,
both of youse.
This entire trip, you two
have acted like little shits.
You said Badlands
was to work on leadership.
Well, we're telling you
to lead yourselves
outta here.
Get your own food.
And good luck hunting
with your shit bush skills.
Mavis: But--
- Out.
- Paul: Don't drown yet!
- Ed: Help!
- Paul: Stop it!
- Dean: I've got you, Ed!
(splashing)
Paul: No!
Don't save him!
Let him drown,
just let him drown!
Ahh, I was supposed to save him!
So, uh
Do I get an award,
or what?
Ooh.
I feel that you
maybe should be charged
with attempted murder!
Wait, what, no!
Uh
You know what,
I'm gonna get outta your hair.
You look super busy.
(chuckling)
I'm gonna, I'm gonna
skedaddle, you know?
I'm gonna go outside,
jump on my skidoo,
and ske-de-de-daddle
right on out of here.
That's what the kids
are saying.
I'm pretty good with the youth
in this community.
Is it hot in here?!
Whoo!
That's not,
not your fault, though.
I'm not blaming chief
and council for that,
you guys don't control
the weather.
It's nice, perfect weather.
I loooove chief and council,
I voted for you guys two times.
I'm not even allowed to vote!
I don't know--
Could you just
get the hell out of here?
Yup.
I'm starving.
Here.
Last of the berries.
Look, uh
I'm sorry, Beanpole.
Mavis.
Whatever, Jo.
If anything, we owe
an apology to the youth.
(flies buzzing)
Yeah.
You're right.
Let's go.
Chickadee: Sterling, yesterday I
thought you were a skinny shit
who can't do nothin'.
But now you're a skinny shit
who can cook the shit
out of a grouse,
and build a deadly lean-to.
Thanks.
And that goes for
the whole skinny bunch.
Y'all did good.
I'm proud of you dipshits.
(imitating Beanpole): Aho!
Look at that.
I taught them
everything they know.
(stomach gurgling)
Ha!
Looks like Drippy Gitch
is back in action!
You ate the berries, too!
(stomach gurgling)
Oh shit.
(stomachs gurgling)
- Mavis: Ha!
- Jo: Oh shit.
Both: Oh shit!
That's what you get!
(farting squeakily)
(hip-hop playing)
Now we on top
(in posh voice): That was
"Count my Shoon-ia"
by Mc Moon-ia.
(phone ringing)
And we have another fan
waiting,
so go ahead.
You're on with Moneybags,
bruh.
Chickadee: Hey Roger,
it's Chickadee.
You didn't win the lottery,
okay?
The Kitty Scratch ticket
was a fake.
I made it.
Is that good, Mom?
Jo: Say sorry, then.
Chickadee: I amsorry.
Fok!
The van!
Damn!
Unrelated,
why don't we open
the phones here,
and you can tell me how to get
out of a lease
on a brand new van
you can't afford.
(phone ringing)
Go ahead.
- You're on.
- Dean: Hey man.
Why don't you just
torch it, bro?
We came up
from the bottom
Now we on top
(We on top now!)
The hustle never stop
(It never stop!)
I been grindin'
I been workin'
Money
yeah I got a lot
(Got a lotta that, lotta that)
Yeah we got a lot of that
We came up from the bottom
Now we on top
(We on top now!)
The hustle never stop
(It never stop!)
I been grindin'
I been workin'
Money

(I got a lotta that,
lotta that)
Yeah we got a lotta that
I am ahead of you lames
None of you'll
ever get paid
Count on it
every day
Can't get enough
of the hate
Can't get enough
of that love
And they show me respect
When I roll on the rez
Yeah smokin' the best uh
So high that
I'm over your head. Whoa!
Homie you ready for smoke?
This better be the premium shit.
Come on, you know better.
How long have our families
done business?
It's all good?

- Ah, look at Paul.
- (all laughing)
Paul (echoing):
Is my sub okay?
Ma, this isn't the way.
Ma.
This isn't the way.
Badlands?
The fuck?
You think I'm at risk?!
Show you at risk.
Don't you dare,
little Miss Kitty Scratch!
Shit.
Paul: You wanted
to see us, Chief?
What's with the sling?
Dean was just real rough
with me in the water.
This guy
is a real drag, right?
Drowner, more like a downer?
- (laughing)
- Totally.
So, Dean, I don't know
if you know this,
but this award has only
been given to two people
in the history of Grouse Lake.
The first
fought in World War II.
The second was me!
Because as you know,
becoming chief
saved this community
from a real bad vibe.
For your act of heroism,
this medallion
now belongs to you.
- (Dean gasps softly)
- For saving
- Captain Bums-Me-Out over here.
- Dean: Deadly!
You gotta be kidding me.
And Brady,
for keeping calm
while filming the rescue,
you put Grouse Lake
on the map
by getting us in
the illustrious
Walking Eagle News.
For that,
you get a Witness Award.
- Oh, cool!
- Chief DeeDee: Yeah!
Dean: Just think of it:
Before, we were three nobodies.
Now, we're two heroes.
This is some bullshit!
I actually have something
for you, Paul.
This just came to me.
Y'all are gettin'
a world premiere!
Ahh!
Dean
is a real hero
It's true
He saved a real buzz kill.
But was it
the right thing to do?
Oooooh
ooo-ooo-oo
Well I got a new
favourite song.
(guitar wailing)
(guitar echoing)
Oh great.
The skinny bunch is here.
Well, well, well.
Look who it is.
Jo: Beanpole?
Is that you with
a dreamcatcher
cascading on the back
of your head?
Where's Gramps McKay,
I thought he was running this?
Well you thought stupid.
He's away getting
his colon flushed.
Ew.
Welcome to Badlands.
I am your leader,
but think of me merely
as a conduit
to the Creator.
I will be giving you
your daily dose of vitamin C.
FYI, the C
stands for "Creator."
(Jo grunting)
Real sacred, this one.
Why you talking like that, Ma?
You did this to us.
(coins rattling,
classical music playing)
(in posh voice): You're
listening to
Moneybags in the muskeg.
I'm not saying I'm special
or anything,
but most folks would
have quit their jobs
after winning 500 Gs,
but not this ol' neech'.
I coulda bought 17 ATVs,
but I just got one van.
(phone ringing)
Oh!
We have a caller.
Go ahead.
You're on the
air with Moneybags.
Rita: You get that money,
or what?
I heard you don't even
have it yet.
Not yet Rita.
But don't you worry.
It's comin', baby.
Rita: Well, if you're
taking requests,
play Dean's
rescue video, then.
I can't play a video,
Rita.
Rita: Mn'ehh!
Aho!
We are all here today
as one,
for the same reason:
To connect to the land.
- Right sister, Jo?
- Don't you have some
dinky cars to play with?
Take me, for example:
I got my nickname Beanpole
in cruelty many moons ago,
when I was but a skinny teen,
like all of you,
sitting before me.
Who gave me that nickname?
She is with us here, today.
Real long time ago
that was, Beanpole!
That nickname was meant
to inflict pain.
But I embraced it,
for the beanpole
supports the plant
as it grows,
just like I support
all of you beansprouts.
(flies buzzing)
Speaking of growth,
our sister Jo gave me
a sacred wedgie
from the four directions
at recess one time.
(Jo and teens laughing)
We mustn't laugh.
We must support Sister Jo
in her growth.
Our ancestors will be
proud of you too one day,
just as they are of me.
(celestial music plays,
birds screech)
(sighing heavily)
(bird screeches)
(breathing raggedly)
Paul needs the medallion.
Paul
Loves the medallion.
(eerie music playing)
Paul
Wants the medallion.
(Indigenous music playing)
(Paul growling softly)
(Indigenous music intensifying)
(growling)
(Indigenous music
intensifying, stops)
Paul: Sweet dreams
My sweet hero.
For now.
(eerie music playing)
(birds screeching)
Lean-tos will protect you
from the elements
out in the bush.
Our white brothers
like to think
they came up with them,
but our people
have been using them
since "time and memorial."
Now Jo,
get up here and show
our future leaders
how you would make one,
as an alleged leader.
Jo: What?
Just do it.
What?!
You're gonna use
that branch?
Yeah?
That's fine if you want
the wind blowing on you
all night.
Ahh, is this a joke?
You wouldn't survive one night
out here on your own!
Chickadee: Yo, is this what
it's supposed to look like?
Sick!
That's the best, Chickadee.
You're a natural.
You could teach your dead weight
mum a few things.
Oh, fuck off.
How long I gotta be
doin' this for?
'Til you get tired!
Fok, boy, I'm tired.
- What is this movie?
- Paul: Don't worry about it!
How's that sub
sitting with you, heh?
Starting to feel it now, man.
Good.
Mavis: You know, beansprouts.
Just like me, the grouse is an
underestimated opponent.
To hunt it,
you need to be stealth-like.
Aho.
(elastic twanging)
It's also the dumbest bird
in the bush.
It'll walk
right up to you,
and you can kick it
in the face.
(boys chuckling)
I actually like this shit,
and you two old bags
are ruining it.
I get it, but can you
at least admit
how much she sucks?
Can you two just get along
so we can kick some birds
in the face?
I'm sorry, Beanpole!
Sorry Jo, can you
apologize louder?
Hey, you kids wanna hear
a funny story about Beanpole?
Just let it go.
No, I'm good.
Once upon a time,
there was a little grouse
who ate
too many bush berries
when she was a kid,
and shit her pants,
right in front of everybody.
Funny thing is,
she kept the nickname Beanpole
when "Drippy Gitch"
was just as popular.
At least I didn't get caught
kissing my cousin.
He was my second cousin!
Not the first time.
Kids, this is actually
a good time to learn--
Kids?
(Ed splashing,
gasping for air)
I'm starting to cramp!
Real good!
Help, I'm crampin' up!
I'm comin' to save you Ed!
Don't worry about it!
(straining)
Help!
- Don't drown yet!
- Help!
Paul: I'm coming!
- Paul: I can't--
- Dean: I got you, Ed!
- Van Damme's got this.
- No!
Nooo!
No, don't save him!
Anybody but you!
No, let him drown!
Just let him drown!
Ahh, I was
supposed to save him!
(straining)
I can't get
out of my chair!
I need help!
(crackling)
Ah.
God job, you kids!
Yes, I'm hungry!
Beat it,
both of youse.
This entire trip, you two
have acted like little shits.
You said Badlands
was to work on leadership.
Well, we're telling you
to lead yourselves
outta here.
Get your own food.
And good luck hunting
with your shit bush skills.
Mavis: But--
- Out.
- Paul: Don't drown yet!
- Ed: Help!
- Paul: Stop it!
- Dean: I've got you, Ed!
(splashing)
Paul: No!
Don't save him!
Let him drown,
just let him drown!
Ahh, I was supposed to save him!
So, uh
Do I get an award,
or what?
Ooh.
I feel that you
maybe should be charged
with attempted murder!
Wait, what, no!
Uh
You know what,
I'm gonna get outta your hair.
You look super busy.
(chuckling)
I'm gonna, I'm gonna
skedaddle, you know?
I'm gonna go outside,
jump on my skidoo,
and ske-de-de-daddle
right on out of here.
That's what the kids
are saying.
I'm pretty good with the youth
in this community.
Is it hot in here?!
Whoo!
That's not,
not your fault, though.
I'm not blaming chief
and council for that,
you guys don't control
the weather.
It's nice, perfect weather.
I loooove chief and council,
I voted for you guys two times.
I'm not even allowed to vote!
I don't know--
Could you just
get the hell out of here?
Yup.
I'm starving.
Here.
Last of the berries.
Look, uh
I'm sorry, Beanpole.
Mavis.
Whatever, Jo.
If anything, we owe
an apology to the youth.
(flies buzzing)
Yeah.
You're right.
Let's go.
Chickadee: Sterling, yesterday I
thought you were a skinny shit
who can't do nothin'.
But now you're a skinny shit
who can cook the shit
out of a grouse,
and build a deadly lean-to.
Thanks.
And that goes for
the whole skinny bunch.
Y'all did good.
I'm proud of you dipshits.
(imitating Beanpole): Aho!
Look at that.
I taught them
everything they know.
(stomach gurgling)
Ha!
Looks like Drippy Gitch
is back in action!
You ate the berries, too!
(stomach gurgling)
Oh shit.
(stomachs gurgling)
- Mavis: Ha!
- Jo: Oh shit.
Both: Oh shit!
That's what you get!
(farting squeakily)
(hip-hop playing)
Now we on top
(in posh voice): That was
"Count my Shoon-ia"
by Mc Moon-ia.
(phone ringing)
And we have another fan
waiting,
so go ahead.
You're on with Moneybags,
bruh.
Chickadee: Hey Roger,
it's Chickadee.
You didn't win the lottery,
okay?
The Kitty Scratch ticket
was a fake.
I made it.
Is that good, Mom?
Jo: Say sorry, then.
Chickadee: I amsorry.
Fok!
The van!
Damn!
Unrelated,
why don't we open
the phones here,
and you can tell me how to get
out of a lease
on a brand new van
you can't afford.
(phone ringing)
Go ahead.
- You're on.
- Dean: Hey man.
Why don't you just
torch it, bro?
We came up
from the bottom
Now we on top
(We on top now!)
The hustle never stop

We came up from the bottom
