Perhaps it is high time - *** gets famous again.

Whoa! You know what, Guy? I'm out of this motherfucker.
Holy shit! I killed it in there! You were so awesome! Your quips were sensational, Kenny.
Ha! Yo, Tinseltown, show-business better look out because I'm coming for ya.
You were so great, baby.
You had so much control.
Hey, April, did your pussy get wet in there? I know if I had a pussy it'd be wet as shit.
I'd be like squirting Dude, why you talking about my wife's private parts? Oh, well No, I'm sorry.
I apologize, Lady Powers.
Don't call her Lady Powers.
Just call her April, man.
Come on, don't ruin this celebratory moment with being shameful and vulgar.
No, no.
I don't mean to ruin it.
I'm just so excited.
I haven't felt this good in so long.
I just wanna I just wanna punch something.
- Yo, what the fuck?! - Oh, my God! - Oh, my God! - What the fuck?! - Kenny! - Stevie, are you OK? - Kenny, help me.

Ugh! Stevie, breath.
OK, I'm gonna see you at home.
- Bye, baby.
I love you.
- I love you.
See you later, pumpkin.
Children, raise your 5 Alives.
Because of my amazing television efforts and my newfound relationship with show-business, we never have to worry about money again.
Picture the future.
You're both entering high school.
While all the other dum-dums are there selling dime bags and trading Garbage Pail Kids cards, you'll be polishing your Porsches.
Riding your horses, hanging out with the preps with sweaters loosely tied around your necks.
Let the memories of this patriarch begin now.
- To Daddy.
- To Daddy.
- To Daddy.
- And now, the giving of the gifts.
- Gifts? - That's right.
I bought everyone a small token to commemorate this amazing moment for our family.
First up is Mama.
Look at that, huh.
Oh, this is nice.
That's a fair trade candle.
We now can afford to buy products - that are made the right way.
- Smells so good, babe.
Next up, Shayna Bear.
Lookie lookie lookie here.
Little shorty's got back.
A Louis V backpack, that is.
That's a mighty big gift for her.
Oh yes.
Several grand, in fact.
Where's my present? He is in the garage.
Meet Dakota.
I got him from a Craigslist Indian.
Is that a real wolf? Pure bred.
That's what the red man told me.
There's no paperwork or anything because of their goddamn oral traditions.
But seems legit to me.
You know, I'm not so sure that this is a good gift for a five year old.
What are you talking about, April? This is a perfect gift for Toby.
With my new high-paying television job I'm not gonna be around the house as much as I'd like to be.
So it's very important that Toby has a strong male role model so he doesn't turn out weird.
Dakota's gonna serve as a spirit guide.
Hey.
You watch yourself, motherfucker.
Because of this opportunity, our family's gonna be taken care of forever.
Who knows, next stop could be space camp.
- Who wants to go to space? - Me.
Who wants to pet this wolf? Hey.
I'm a television star and I own you.
Whoo! Goddamn.
Kenny Powers, series regular on TV.
Feels like the first day of school out here, huh? Oh yeah.
Everybody's inside the cafeteria wanted to know what I'm gonna wear.
What kind of crazy shit's gonna come out of my mouth.
They all know that I'm just the wild card this show needs to nab that elusive demographic.
That Hunger Games demo.
That John Carter from Mars demo.
Kenny, you skew extremely young.
Yeah, no shit.
Now where we at with them gift baskets? We locked and loaded? They're right here, dog.
Boom.
Whoo.
Looking good.
Moose Munch.
Coffee macadamia toffee.
- You know what the move is.
- What's the move? Put my motion picture personal autobiographical screenplays into Guy Young's gift basket.
That's how the Antwone Fisher story was made.
Autobiographical screenplay, Kenny? When do I get to read it? Well, when I get the N.
D.
forms filled out by my lawyer.
Until then, you ain't touching shit, dog.
A'ight.
I'll back off.
I'll back off.
But soon.
Hopefully.
Enough of your creative sensitivities.
Let's give people some baskets.
You smell like a horses ass.
I don't want to smell you.
It's a professional environment.
- I'll talk to her.
- Please, talk to her.
I will.
A tisket, a tasket.
I brought you a motherfucking gift basket.
Kenny P.
- Oh, shit, is that for me? - Yeah, that is for you.
- Well, this is for you.
- Ah, shit.
Great minds think alike.
What's up, my man? - Look at that, huh.
- All right.
- Whoo.
- Oh, Harry and David.
A top purveyor, I like that a lot.
Goddamn.
Yeah, I also included a copy of my new motion picture screenplay I recently finished, It's my life story, dude.
Whoa.
Kenny Powers is a writer too, huh? Screenplayist.
Who's this handsome pumpkin right here? Is this your fuck buddy? I wish.
What the fuck is this? That's a coupon book for activities in and around the Charlotte area.
You're gonna like that.
Grandfather Mountain, Carowinds.
A waterpark.
My kids are gonna shit their pants when they see this.
I'll tell you what, I'm gonna shit my pants looking at this expensive-ass squirt bottle of Morrocan hair oil.
That shit'll get you smelling like an Egyptian cab driver.
I'm sure it's very nice and thank you, Kenny.
Hey, you're welcome.
I think this is gonna be a wonderful union.
Kenny Powers is just the thing this show needs to get the ratings up.
Well, I wouldn't worry about that, Kenny.
- The ratings are just fine.
- Yeah, I know.
We'll just, you know, focus on the four quadrant - target market, Nielsens.
- Kenny, the ratings are fine.
Conrad, tell him, the ratings are fine.
- They're good.
- They'll be better, though.
That would be Don't worry about that.
You know what I mean? Keep your mind on the prize.
All right.
I'll leave the mathematics to you guys.
I'll focus on the "lights, camera, action.
" - Show-business.
- Show-business.
KP.
There's my smart boy.
Oh God, look at you.
So handsome.
Get on the ground! This is a fucking home invasion! Jesus.
- It's me.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, word.
Wayne, you're graduating? No.
He is getting his GED actually, Kenny.
You dumbass.
There's a ceremony for that? What's up, bro? What the hell are you doing here, Kenny? Relax, guys.
I'm not here to terrorize.
Just came by for a friendly family visit.
It's no mystery that over the years our families have drifted.
- Our families are strange.
- Estranged.
That's what I'm saying, Cassie, that we're str You didn't say that.
You said "strange".
- That's what I'm saying.
- No, you didn't.
- Shit's not No, I said - You said strange.
Look, you know what I'm getting at.
We're not friends.
- What do you want, Kenny? - I wanna squish our beef.
What I've done in the past is of no merits here.
The bottom line, I wanna buy back your family's love with these fucking dope passes to Congo Canyon Resort.
Congo Canyon? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not so fast, sticky fingers.
What do you say, Dustin? Let's put aside our differences.
Take leaks in the lazy river.
Take our shirts off and slide down water slides.
What do you say? Not interested.
Dustin, I think Kenny is trying to apologize You stay out of this, Cassie.
Guys, guys, guys, guys.
Don't fight, OK? Look, I got my fame back.
And I wanna share it with my kinfolk.
I'm ready to do it right this time.
All you do when you get famous is act like a bigger asshole.
- OK.
- Dustin, I'm a mature man.
I have a wife and kids.
I listen to fucking Terry Gross now.
Wait, wait.
Don't tell me.
Motherfucking This American Life.
No.
You're the same as you always were.
First chance you get, you're gonna burn all that to the ground.
You don't know what I'm trying to burn to the ground.
You're just being nasty and being a jerk.
None of you motherfuckers are gonna get tan and take your shirts off with me.
You're all gonna be dry.
The only people that get to get wet are people that are nice to me.
Goodbye, you.
- Let's dance, dog.
- Yeah, dog.
Check out Yul Brynner.
I just bought his fucking ass on Sky Mall.
OK.
It was a car last week and now it's a robot.
And this weekend you're taking everybody to the water park.
You know what? I think this is just getting out of hand.
I think we need to take it slow.
We took it slow for five years, April.
And it fucking sucked.
It was not that bad.
It was terrible, April.
Literally, I almost killed myself 20 different times.
I put a gun in my mouth and almost pulled the trigger.
I ain't going back to them days.
OK, I can't take you seriously right now because you're dancing with a robot.
- Aw.
- Oh, look.
Now you've insulted him.
How rude.
Go about your journeys, Yul.
See ya.
All I'm saying is that we've been given an opportunity and I just don't want it to change us.
Man, you're spitting the same shit Dustin was throwing at me.
Talking about burning this whole thing to the ground.
Why the hell doesn't anybody trust me? I just don't want us to rush into anything, that's all.
Rush into what? Buying our family exotic robotics? Fucking treating our loved ones and friends to a weekend at the water park? I mean, come on.
It's not that big of a deal.
I mean, unless of course you got some sort of weird issue with slides.
I don't got nothing against slides, Kenny.
Not even the ones with the inner tubes? No.
I love the ones with inner tubes.
What about the ones with the mats? Love the ones with mats.
Prove it.
Big tits go in there.
Fame for me has been a many headed Hydra.
You cut off one head and it sprouts another.
My baseball career was beheaded on a warm night in Texas many years ago.
So be it.
A new head is sure to grow in it's place.
Perhaps the head of a movie star.
Or a race car driver.
One head might be selfish and mean, but that doesn't mean the next head to replace it can't still be thoughtful and nice.
The Hydra has many heads.
Look at my family, so happy and joyous.
They love me so much.
I just hope I don't let them down.
Yeah.
In Mexico you just slide down the fucking garbage chute, huh? - Uh-huh.
- With a hose on it.
Hey, Kenny.
Thank you.
- Thanks, Ken.
- On behalf of all of us.
- Thank you.
- Hey, no worries.
I can't believe your fancy TV job gives you free passes to the water park.
That's so cute.
Is it cute? I wouldn't call it cute.
I mean, cute's kinda what I would use to describe like a cabbage patch kid.
I mean, I just figured they'd give you season tickets to Panther games or something a little more la-di-da.
I don't really know what the hell you're getting at but, uh, I do get those things too.
- We do.
- This is just all I'm sharing with you guys.
The fucking entry level junk.
- Ohh.
Well, thank you.
- You're welcome.
And also, don't try to poke holes in my shit.
It's time to celebrate, don't masturbate.
Just celebrate, don't masturbate.
Shots all around.
- Shots all around.
- Don't use limes.
- Don't use limes.
- No training wheels.
I would like to propose a toast - to old friends - Yes.
- and new friends.
- Yes.
Gene and Tel, you guys are awesome.
Awesome.
But there's someone even more awesome.
The man who made this all possible.
The most generous, selfless man.
- To TV's newest star, - Whoo! - the love of my life, - Oh yeah.
Mr.
Kenny Powers.
Down the hatch.
Let's remember to pace ourselves today, boys and girls, OK? - Nah, fuck that shit.
- Well, what about the kids? You know, I just think I'm getting a little wasted.
That's like goddamn ankle deep water.
Ain't nobody drowning in that shit.
If one of them kids can drown, then they don't deserve to be alive.
This is a goddamn Darwinism right here.
Waiter! Another round for me an my friends here.
I'm waiting to see Tel dip them balls in some whiskey.
Motherfucker came here in a Speedo.
Surprise! - Hey! - Jaws.
What the fuck, dude? You got a big old nasty boner in your pants.
I know, why you trying to play? Man, Kenny, I remember when I used to wait for the goddamn things to go down.
My dick is so fucked right now.
Well, have you tried using drugs, like Cialis or Viagra or some shit? I've used all the pills and penis pumps.
But it doesn't do anything.
It just makes my dick bright red, man.
You need to see a doctor, dude.
No, there's gotta be some way, man.
Do you know any other magic spells or dick tricks? I mean, I guess the only advice I could have is just maybe you should just appreciate what you got.
Even if what you got is a woman that's built like mashed potatoes.
- Mashed potatoes? - See to her needs, dog.
Tend to her.
Kiss, caress, attend.
Kiss, caress, attend.
You see where we're going here.
I'm trying to isolate your performance anxiety by focusing on her needs, homey.
You just gotta figure out how to put some gravy on them taters.
- Oh, some cum gravy.
- There you go.
All right, here's the deal.
I'm not paying for the queso or the enchiladas.
But we will pay for the guacamole.
Sweep the leg.
Sweep slumdog's leg.
- Ahh! - Hey, hey! Ah, this is so much fun.
Damn it, Brennan! You're supposed to hold on.
It's been like a little while since I've done this so you just like, need to be easy.
What is she doing? OK, go ahead.
Just be easy.
Pull it up.
April.
Honey, this is absolutely inappropriate.
- Dix! How you doin', Dix? - I'm not that great because our children are right over there.
Dix, I think you need to do this with me.
- I need you to grab a beer - No, no thank you.
and a boy and let's get hammered together.
No.
You know what I'm gonna grab? I'm gonna grab your husband.
Ah, come on! Oh yeah! There you go, get him.
Grab his Speedo.
Rip his swim cap off.
Kenny.
You better come get your wife right now.
- Why? - She's drunk.
Time out.
Time out.
Goddamn.
She is getting fucked up.
All right, you.
Get in here.
I got a trash can down here in case you get sick, all right? - I gotta wash my hair.
- No, no, no, no, no.
- No, no.
- I gotta wash You wash it in the morning, all right? I got puke in it.
No, no.
There's no puke in it.
I think it's just sun tan lotion.
Where the hell are your shoes at? You wanna get under the covers? I wanna get under the covers.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, goddamn it.
Get under these covers.
There you go.
- Daddy, is Mom OK? - Yeah, she's cool, man.
She's just pooped from riding all those rides.
- Y'all like movies? - Yeah! Yeah.
How about G.
I.
Joe: Retaliation? I didn't really appreciate it the first time I saw it but upon multiple viewings it holds up.
You guys watch it two, three times? That cool? - OK.
- Yeah.
Why don't you sing your mom your goodnight song.
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Whoo! Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Whoo! I was trying to get into my computer the other day and I couldn't get in.
I was typing in "WakeForest", which is my password.
"WakeForest", denied.
"WakeForest", denied.
For a moment there you were locked out of your own computer.
I didn't know It's a really bad feeling when you lock yourself out.
Finally, I realize, when I set up the password, I used a dollar sign instead of the "S".
- So, duh.
- Boom.
Jesus Christ, dude.
The women are sleeping upstairs, Gene's putting us to sleep down here.
My God.
- I like Gene's stories.
- You like Gene's stories.
Of course you do.

It's always nice to meet a fan, of course.
Oh shit.
This is uncle Hal.
He's fucking crazy, man.
He's just like you.
I don't really see the resemblance.
My eyes aren't all fucking vacant and hollow like his.
Why don't you hang out with us, Kenny? You wanna take this party upstairs? Actually, we were about to head out.
No, no.
Ignore this Taliban cleric over here.
Let's take the party upstairs.
