Duck Dynasty (2012) s09e07 Episode Script

All right, listen up guys, I've got a really big announcement to make.
Are you pregnant? No, I'm not pregnant.
You got a big belly so you know.
You getting us tickets to see Steely D? - No, I'm, no.
- Oh, that ain't it? - We're getting raises.
- We're going to the Bahamas.
- They're getting royalties.
- This is not a game.
You got a new goat for my petting zoo.
I'm just going to announce what it is, you're not trying to guess what it is.
- I thought we were trying to - Here's the deal.
Last year Cory and I, Jep and Jessica went to Walter Reed Medical Center; remember? Yep.
And we met a ton of wounded vets there and we thought it'd be cool just to bring a couple of them down here and just honor them and their service.
- Awesome.
- Love it.
- Cool.
- Great idea.
You got it, I'm all in.
During our trip to Walter Reed Hospital we me two marines in recovery.
Lance Corporal Christian Brown and Lance Corporal Mark Fiddler.
When we found out they were big hunters and fans of Duck Commander, we knew we had to bring them down to West Monroe.
When are they coming down? This week.
The plan is to surprise Christian and Mark and luckily we're getting some help.
I've been in contact with this organization called Luke's Wings, it's a nonprofit that provides free travel for wounded warriors and their families.
Once they're here we want to take them fishing and also find a way to honor them.
I mean it's the least we can do to show how much their sacrifice means to us.
You could never repay them for what they went through.
- That's right.
- Nope.
And I think anything we do to honor them is a good idea.
- We could do a color run.
- What's that? You wear white and people throw color on you.
- Like a powder.
- Like a powder, like paint.
I have never done one but I saw y'all's pictures and they were really cute and it's just like bright pink, greens, yellows and they just like throw it on you as you run.
So then you wear like tutus and you get all You run, at the end there they turn you into clowns.
- Kind of.
- I got the gist of it here? No the gist is to raise awareness.
Yeah, you do it for a cause, so it raises awareness.
- Color run.
- Let's do it.
You're basically saying thank you.
We need to get it organized and start moving.
I ain't wearing a tutu, William might wear one.
- Feather boa.
- But in his case it maybe a four-four, or a six-six.
Two-two probably won't do it.
All right guys I got the plan worked out.
Willie's got a couple of Vets coming over.
We're gonna give them a big surprise.
Jep, there's a telephone pole outside the office.
You need to shimmy up it right quick.
Explain to us why someone needs to be on a telephone pole.
He's gonna be a lookout.
I'm not sure that's legal to go up a telephone pole.
- I don't think so.
- It's a grey area, but hey, look, if you got the hard hat and the vest on, no problem.
But wouldn't it be kind of weird if he didn't have a truck or anything? And the code word is car-duh-saw-duh.
Who? Can you use that word in a sentence? The car-duh-saw-duh has arrived.
Are you trying to say carne asada? That's what I said.
No it's not you said casada or something like that.
Look, it's just a code word, okay.
Where they don't know what's happening.
Well we don't know what's happening.
It's a code word, boys! Hey, look, these guys think they can actually surprise two military veterans, okay, without some kind of plan.
They got a better chance to get struck by lightening during a shark attack.
Are you going to get up the pole or not? That is a negative.
Go up the pole.
Breaker-breaker one-nine that is a negative, once again a negative.
If we're gonna surprise these guys, okay, we got fight fire with fire.
I'm talking about using military grade tactics.
I'm right across the street from the warehouse.
Here they come.
Carne asada.
Carne asada.
This is just weird.
This ain't my first rodeo.
And look I understand I'm working with green cadets here, that's why I've got contingencies in place.
Go to plan B, boys.
- Oh boy, there he goes.
- Oh - Hey! - And now you have to have hip surgery.
That's the way you come down a telephone pole.
That's about typical.
If you want to do it right, you got to do it yourself.
Hey, look, you be a crossing guard, put that on.
I'm a be a foreman, I'll be over here.
What are we The Village People? Guys you all ready? Carne asada, carne asada.
Ten-four! All right, I don't know what you're all doing but we've got like one minute, they're fixing to pull up outside the house.
Oh, no, we're all ready, hold up, we got an elaborate plan here.
No we don't, forget that plan, come on they're gonna be - right outside my office.
- New plan.
What are you all; The Village People? That's what I said.
All right Jennifer just texted you ready? Let's do it.
- Carne asada.
- On one two three.
Three and then go? - Carne asada.
- One - One - Wait we go on three right? - Two - Three.
Three, go.
We're not singing? - Can we get in here with you guys? - What's up, come here.
What's up, brother? Good to see you again, man.
- None of us be here? - Mark how you doing, buddy? Doing good, good to see you.
Well, the surprise was a success.
Christian and Mark had no idea that we would be here to surprise them.
Y'all don't want us to ruin your picture do you? - We need to move.
- No, we need to get in the picture.
I can only imagine how the surprise would have went had I let the guys plan it.
Who we lookin' at? - I'm just looking - Who's taking pictures? Luckily, I did the planning.
Along with Jennifer from Luke's Wings.
I won't say who was in on it but they've got on blue shirts, so All right, she did most of the planning, but I was there for moral support.
We appreciate y'all guys coming.
We do.
You're going fishing in Arkansas? - Yes.
- Yeah, well, I thought we were.
You thought you were? You're not going fishing in Arkansas, that's the bad news.
The good news is we got a couple of fishing spots we're gonna take you to, so uh You know you just put me in a big debt to this girl right here.
I'm never gonna be able to come out of this hole.
This is Christian and Mark, both veterans from the Marine Corps, who sacrificed a lot, so thank you guys for showing up and thank these guys.
I'm never gonna hear the end of this.
So you all wanna go see the Duck Call Room? That's cool, yeah, I'd love to see that.
So were y'all surprised? Heck, yeah.
They said we were gonna stop here quick and take a picture by some sign.
That sign's become like Mount Rushmore out there.
They're like, "I don't know if we have time to stop at the store, nope.
" So we're here at Duck Commander and we're not gonna stop at the store.
That ain't gonna happen, guarantee you.
Si, why are you still wearing that hat? I'm just trying to work the plan here, boys.
- The plan is over, they made it.
- No, no.
The plan was, I was gonna have Jep up on a telephone pole as the look out.
Why does your look out have an orange vest? You're not supposed to see the look out.
He was posing as a telephone man That's right, and you've got to have a utility vest on.
But he had the hat on.
That's what I was saying.
That's because the knuckle head wouldn't wear it.
Is this what you guys do all day? - Yeah, pretty much.
- Pretty much.
No this is what I do all day, they work a little bit.
Yeah.
I've been working on this call for about 35 years.
Since you were like, 10? Look this is I think, the greatest duck call ever.
As coincidence would have it, I just received the prototypes of what I believe is the ultimate duck call.
Thus I've labeled it accordingly.
The Jase Robertson Pro Series.
That's the reason he's saying it's the greatest duck call ever.
This is the culmination of a lot of blood, sweat and tears over the years.
And I can not think of two better individuals to get the first ones.
So I want to give you all the first two.
- Thanks.
I appreciate that.
- It's like we're being knighted.
- Yeah you're being knighted.
- We're being knighted.
Well, look, it's guys like y'all - I appreciate it.
that we have the freedom to be able to sit around and make duck calls.
- True.
- Amen.
I say we join in a duck call salute to you.
- Duck call salute.
- Everybody get a call.
On three, three.
There you go, slower on the end.
- You having fun? - Yeah, check this out.
- What is that? - The new duck calls.
Remember I was telling you about the new duck calls? - Have we sold them yet? - I haven't sold any.
I just gave two away.
It was supposed to be a surprise.
- Surprise.
- Surprise.
- Surprise.
- I'm very surprised.
Well, Jase is up to his usual antics, but I ain't gonna let this get to me while Christian and Mark are here.
You all are getting the first two.
I'd hang on to that 'cause it may be a collector's item.
As much as I want to reprimand Jase for his business moves these next few days are about way more than business.
And I need the guys to keep Mark and Christian busy while I plan one final surprise for the color run.
My buddy, Marcus Luttrell.
All right I got to go put the finishing touches on the color run.
- You all lined up for tomorrow? - Yep, I'm going fishing.
- Cool, you all go fishing.
- All right.
We're gonna discuss that duck call there too.
- Yeah, you got to get you one.
- Yeah, I got to get one, all right.
He ought to be glad that I didn't ask for a percentage just to put my name on there.
Royalties.
You know what, I'm asking for royalties.
For royalties them things may end up in a burn pile.
I talked to Mark today in the Hospital, he's ready for a duck hunt.
Oh, yeah, well let's take him, he and Christian both.
Before we headed out to the lake, we found out that Mark had to be admitted to the hospital.
The doctors told us that he's gonna be just fine and he gave us his blessing to go on without him and to take Christian.
And to try to catch a few for him.
Just having complications, when you have these type of injuries, we're just having a battle every day.
Mark said, he was more concerned about Christian being able to go, than he was being in a hospital.
These guys never cease to amaze me.
They're unselfish and they got their brothers back.
All right, let's pick the teams and let's get the wager.
Oh, I think we should make the loser or representative of the losing team, wear a tutu to the color run.
I don't even know what a tutu is.
There's a guy around town, remember tutu man, he used to be in Wal-Mart walking around.
No wonder I don't know what it is.
All right well since I ain't gonna lose I'll agree to that.
And I'll let you pick first, that way you can't say I cheated or some other lame excuse.
Super squatter.
All right, you got Phil.
- I've got Martin.
- I will take, Godwin.
- All right I've got Christian.
- Don't get me involved in this.
I'm the judge.
Oh, oh, oh.
- We have not officially started.
- Hey, that's my teammate.
What are you talking about we hadn't started? We hadn't started, I hadn't finish picking the team.
That's my teammate.
Anytime you're picking teams, the last person picked is always the weakest link.
All right I guess I'll pick Si.
What do you mean you guess you'll pick me? Well, you're the only guy left.
You boys are something else, I'm telling you what.
Lucky for us this is a numbers game.
Loch Ness Monster boys! Two to one.
I finally caught you, you big heifer! Doesn't matter how big they are: Who caught the most.
Look it here.
Get him Martin.
Little old blue gill.
- What about that Jep? - I'm not impressed.
- Sic 'em boy! - We adding to the tally now.
Jep you every worn a tattoo before? - Tutu! - No.
You're fixing to-to.
Competition makes everything better.
Fishing happens to be one of my specialties.
So of course I like to compete, because I ultimately like to win.
Si, what are you doing? - He gone.
- Shocker.
So Christian how long were you in the Marine Corps? For about five and a half, six years.
Just Afghanistan? Yeah.
Multiple times to Afghanistan, that was the theater I operated in.
Did they let you off during duck season? No.
But I try to make it up on the back end now anytime I can get out and do it.
- Are you a Godly man? - I started out, you know, a strong believer, I got hurt and you knew it was the real challenge to keep that faith and try to understand why and try to rationalize, you know, what happened and that there's a reason for it.
When you get hit with a bomb or an ID like that it takes some years away.
Sometimes when I get up just to get out of bed it takes that extra motivation.
And for me that's hunting and fishing.
I win a couple times and I stop worrying about my injuries but I was excited about another day of getting to be able to be out in creation.
I tell you one thing, you marines, you all are a tough bunch.
Most people be singing the blues, but, hey, got to roll with it.
You're still alive, dude.
You got to admire these old marines, once a marine, I guess always a marine, but few people that you run up on will give their life for you.
Well these two, they proved they'd do it.
What's the verdict, Jay? The final tally is, team Jase, 14.
Team Jep, 11.
- Well, we made a run at it.
- All right Jep you lost.
Wear the tutu.
Tutu sounds vulgar for some reason.
You all ready to fish my style, I did bring a case of dynamite.
- Did you? - Yeah.
Throw it in there.
I hope they have fish at the color run.
Christian you like fish? - Oh, yeah.
- I like to eat fish.
Do you? I'd a never guessed that.
All right, hello everybody, I just wanted to welcome you all to the first ever Duck and Color Run.
We have Christian here, I'm gonna get him to say a few words before we start.
I just want to thank everybody that came out today.
It's awesome to get people to support our wounded veterans.
I never knew that I would get this welcome home like this and a lot of guys didn't get that, a lot of guys didn't make it back, you know.
Our prayers are with Mark, he's at the hospital and I know he wants to be here, he's here with us in spirit and we're gonna have a good time, how about it? So we've had a few surprises, but the surprises aren't stopping Since this day is all about honoring Christian and Mark, I decided to go all out to make it a special day for them.
I figured I would bring someone in to help inspire, a good friend of mine, Christian, this is Marcus Luttrell.
Oh! No way dude, come here.
What's up, bro? Marcus is a retired Navy Seal with his own inspirational story, and I know he's a big hero for Christian.
That's awesome.
I was pretty fired up about it myself.
So I have a feeling that his being here will mean a whole lot to Christian.
It's good to see you man.
I'm glad you're here and when they told me what was going down, I was all over it.
That's awesome.
Appreciate you all coming out here and being a part of it, it's probably one of the only events that you can actually get grown men into florescent tutus - and run around in them.
- Thank you.
No, it's gonna be a lot of fun and thanks so much for everything you do man, keeping it going, cause it's guys like you and Mark, you get hit like that and then the other guys come and get hit, you guys motivate them more than you even know.
It's remarkable.
You know this is an amazing experience, we're gonna run, we're gonna keep Mark in our prayers and our thoughts.
We're gonna have good times put big smiles on our faces, and thank you for God's graces and this great world that we live in, and keep in mind kids that if you run for too long your legs will fall off, that's what happened to me.
All right, thanks for warming the crowd up Christian.
You all ready to roll? Get ready to duck and color.
All right ladies and gentlemen, children and infants, start your engines.
Now it makes sense, color run.
Y'all are fast, you're doing good.
He's pulling me! Dr.
Jelly Fingers here, what's up.
How you doing? - How you doing? - Looking good.
Bro, you missed out, what are you doing in here? You look like an Easter egg.
We brought all the bottles of color but the nurses, nah.
We also brought something else.
We have somebody else wants to say hello.
- Who's that? - Wakey wakey.
Even though Mark had to miss out on the color run, that doesn't mean he had to miss out on all the fun.
- Doing all right? - It's a pleasure, yeah.
It's an honor man, thank you so much for coming.
After being stuck in a hospital bed all day, who better to cheer you up than Marcus Luttrell.
You didn't get as dirty as they did.
He's faster than we are.
We didn't want to make him angry, so, we didn't want to get taken out.
I'm just happy I could do anything for Mark, no matter how small, after everything he's given for our country.
You know, people look up to us as heroes sometimes but we look at the ones that went before us, so we read about stuff about you, your boys, and see in our transition he was already out, he was telling the world what it was like over there, and then the guys that were actually good, the Afghani's that were good and painted the story for what it really was, it wasn't about what politicians told you to say, it wasn't about you can talk about this, you can't talk about that, you up and told them how it was, so we could continue that legacy.
That's exactly right, Uncle Si went before us.
- Yeah, he did.
- So it's about identifying with your brother.
People that haven't served in the military, okay, you don't have any idea of combat.
It's a hard thing to to actually talk about.
You know, I lost a marine three, four days prior, before I got hit.
And you see that and that stays with you for the rest of your life.
Yeah.
I can't even imagine having to deal with what they've had to deal with.
It's a tough go.
It really is.
That's one of them things that you hope never happens.
But it happens too often.
All the hardest I ever training, working out and everything, I didn't do that so I would make it back, it's all about that other guy and that's why he trains so hard to make sure I'll make it back, so when they don't come back it's, I mean We need to learn to get along and then there might not be a need for war.
Okay But if we do send them off to war, we should back them going and coming.
Father, I am honored to be standing in front of these guys looking at the sacrifice they made for us all.
I love these guys and I honor them for the sacrifice they've made along with your son Jesus, and it's in his name I pray, amen.
Amen.
- I love you, dude.
- Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Yes, sir.
You guys don't forget that.
The people that put their lives on the line to protect the citizens of this country are true heroes.
But it wasn't till these last few days with Mark and Christian that we discovered just how strong our wounded warriors are.
Not only did they sacrifice themselves for our freedom, but they both managed to stay strong despite their injuries.
It ain't to say they don't need our support because for many of our vets the fight continues even after they return home from battle.
If there's one thing I hope everyone will remember from this day, it's how important caring for wounded vets is.
It's the least we can do to show them how much their sacrifice means to us.
