Hockey Tonk

1 [CROWD CHEERING.]
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Hey, did you drink some of this? Well, I didn't want it to spill.
- That's my little Debbie.
- [LAUGHS.]
Get in there, Laciter! Debbie! That's Palmavere.
Laciter's the winger.
Kick his ass, Palmavere! [LAUGHS.]
That's my little Debbie.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
Now that is what I call romantic.
I hope someone proposes to me on the Kiss-Cam one day.
I'm sure they will, honey.
I'm sure they will.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
Still the King Here you go.
Ooh! Bacon, ham, sausage.
You hit all the meat all-stars.
What'd I do to deserve this? Please, do you know how long it's been since I've been to a hockey game? And right up on the glass.
Vernon, I do not know what or who you had to do to get these, but thank you.
Well, it's my pleasure.
I just thought you and Charlotte would really enjoy seeing me rock out with my band in an arena like old times.
Except now it's during intermissions while a hockey game is the main draw.
And you know what? Charlotte is with Mabel making a homecoming float, so I'm gonna bring Ronnie.
I hope that's okay.
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
No problemo.
You are a handsome and powerful man who's uniquely skilled in the nautical and martial arts.
And any woman would be lucky to have you.
[SIGHS.]
Deb will you marry me? Uh! Ah! Come on, you ever heard of knocking? Is that an engagement ring? Maybe, maybe not.
You'll just have to find out at the game later when I propose to Deb.
You're not using my ticket to propose to her.
Not your ticket.
My soon-to-be fiancée gave it to me.
'Cause tonight is gonna be perfect.
We'll see about that.
Welcome to Tapits, a temperature conscious dining experience.
Here are your meat thermometers.
Remember, if it's above 98, we pay for your date.
Oh, I actually don't need one.
I don't eat meat.
Okay.
[CHUCKLES.]
So you have to go home after this? I was asking for a friend of mine.
Well, you can tell your friend that I was actually thinking of staying at your place tonight.
Mm.
So, I have a few specials to tell you about.
Gazpacho, tuna tartar, steak tartar, a cheese plate.
And for dessert, lukewarm lava cake.
Please tell me you brought me here as a joke.
[LAUGHING.]
Food temperature-related injuries are not a joke.
Sorry.
MALE ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, seating in 15 minutes.
DEBBIE: [LAUGHING.]
Come on, let's find our seats.
Yeah, let's hey, Vern.
Have a great show, bud.
Oh, Val, you can put that over there, sir.
Oh, Mo, it's so heavy.
Well, it's made with real cast iron.
Mm, it's a good thing Val's so strong.
I would appreciate not being objectified while I'm trying to work, Carmen.
[LAUGHS.]
Is this sexy or what? Now remember, this is just an exposure gig.
So play covers, no originals.
What do you mean no originals? You can play some classic Burnin' Vernon originals.
But nothing after '92.
Only songs off your first record.
I was thinking my new love song I wrote for Debbie might knock their socks off.
Oh, no, no, Vernon, you don't want any of these people's socks to be coming off.
Trust me.
Besides, you don't want to debut that new song here.
When do you recommend I debut it? Oh, soon.
Very soon.
But these things have to be finessed, man.
I think Vernon's trying to do some finessing of his own.
His baby mama's here, and he wrote it for her.
Oh, that's beautiful, man.
Now, remember, just play the old (bleep), okay? Alright, okay.
Good show.
Good show, everybody! Nothing like the smell of beer, sweat, and ice.
It's gonna be a special night, Ronnie, I can feel it.
Yeah, it is.
Oh, 118, that's us.
How 'bout you go ahead and get our seats, I'll get us some hotdogs, some beer, and maybe make a deposit at the pee bank.
Yeah, but not in that order.
Well, you know.
- Hey.
- Ah! Oh.
Ronnie? How did you what are you doing here? We thought you blew up.
Yeah, I get that a lot.
What are you doing here? Well, you know, we got real jobs now.
Oh.
I see how it is.
I get blown to bits, you just abandon the arts.
It was cool working for free in your girlfriend's basement, but they pay us here.
And it's helped my self-esteem, so Yeah, and my mom's medical bills, which Ssh, sellouts.
Listen, I'm gonna propose to Debbie, and I need it to be on the Jumbotron.
You do this, I'll get you back on the show.
Waaah.
[LAUGHS.]
Hey, buddy, take it easy! Walt, hey.
[LAUGHING.]
What? Did you think I was a real dog? Idiot! You're Daredevil Dachshund? I can neither confirm nor deny.
He won a sweepstakes.
He gets to be the special guest mascot.
Babe, come on.
We mascots make a solemn vow to protect our civilian identities.
But you just revealed your identity to me.
And to those people.
Daddy, why is that man wearing Daredevil Dachshund's skin? Ah, that's horrible.
Come on.
What are you even doing here, Walt? Well, we're the featured house band tonight.
- Really? - Yeah.
That's awesome.
Oh, yeah.
If you think playing in a band is more awesome than dressing up like a sausage-shaped dog and swinging from ropes at a sporting event.
Yah! Well, I guess if you put it that way.
Whatever forever, Walt! Double D.
Come on, man, photo-op time.
St.
Agatha's Orphanage, let's go.
Uh, they're such losers.
No wonder their parents don't want 'em.

Do you see him, honey? Yeah, yeah, that's great.
I want my money back My old Camaro and my 8-tracks Fuzzy dice hanging loose and proud ZZ Top, they're playing loud - What the hell was that? - Sorry, Mr.
Ronnie.
The only way to guarantee to be on the Jumbotron is if you're a hockey player or in the band or a mascot.
Or if you're famous, which, let's be honest, I don't thinkenough people have actually - seen your show to recognize - Sshh.

BOTH: [LAUGHING.]

Oh, I'm counting on it.
In fact, we should probably take this off.
That's better.
