King of the Hill

Season-01 Episode-01 How to fire a rifle without really trying.

Hello there partners.

Yeah, out over here out over here,

ring toss ring toss. Ring it by now, hey.

Hank: Now kick up your leg Bobby,

Arch your back, whip your forearm and snap your wrist.

Bobby: Ugh, look out.

Hey, man.

Bobby you better let me throw the last one.

This man here's trying to run a business.

Hank: Now ping pong balls are tricky,

don't grip it hard it requires fineness.

Bobby, what's in your mouth.

Look dad, I'm the khamish.

Owh!

It's okay to line up the sights, Bobby. It's not cheating.

I got it.

Wew! Lucky shot Bobby, that's great.

Now this time you might wanna..

Bobby way to kill ducks.

Then another duck came up, and he killed that one.

And then I killed another one too. Hank: Yep, that's right.

He must have killed a thousand ducks.

Peggy: Now a thousand ducks,

well that is wonderful. Did you kill any bunnies?

Hank: The boy shows a real..

Talent for shooting Peggy, this could be his sport.

Hank: We should get him a rifle.. - Mmhm! Bobby is too young to own a rifle

it is too dangerous.

He's twelve, he hasn't been too young for five years.

No it is just not age appropriate.

It would be like..like giving boggle to an eight year old,

even though the box says that's okay.

But I never get to bond with Bobby, on account of he's not good at much.

Shooting stuff is something a father and son can do together.

I don't wanna wait till the cat's in cradle and Bobby's...

too busy with the propane business of his own.

Peggy: Now Hank, you're making me tear up.

Hank: Uh! Where's the children's gun section? - Aisle 47.

- Can I keep my new gun in my room. - Sure.

Can I keep the bullets in my pocket.

Hank: If you want. Bobby: Can I put a gun rack on my bike.

Do you know how long I've been waiting for you to ask me that.

I have a good feeling about this one.

Ooh! I love this rifle.

You know Bobby that marlin is lot like the first .22 my dad gave me,

that's also like the one he started with himself as a boy.

Kind of a Hill tradition,

Bobby: Wow!

I always thought this was a Crack house.

Dale: So then Ray walks in

with the same snow camouflaged bib overalls that he knew I plan to wear that same hunting.

Well well well, Hank Hill you finally decided to join our club.

I'm not joining, I just want to know if I can use the range, Dale.

There's a $2 charge for non members to shot here.

What's membership cost?

Life-time membership is free.

Ah! I'll just pay the two bucks.

Hank's jacket is so Desert Storm.

The safety is underneath by the firing pin.

I hope you're listening, because I'm not repeating this.

Now, Bobby you gotta take it slow and oh my God!

Stranger: Boy can shoot. Hank: Hell yeah! He's my boy.

What you've done here is very good.

I'm a little upset with the grouping.

You fellas entering the tournament at the county club, 'cause if you are..

- Maybe I'll save myself the entry fee. - What tournament?

Father-son fun shoot.

Save your money mister, we're in.

Alright! All this being father and son is finally gonna pay off.

Hey, Bobby! Go inside and get a couple of bags of bullets.

I forget the last time I shot a .22, but I'll bet you, there was a Texan in the White House.

And I ain't talking about, Herbert Walker Bush either.

Aah! Ooh!

Grandpa: What are you waiting for boy? Pull the trigger make some noise.

You're never gonna be a war hero like me if you shoot like that.

No wonder that kid from the play ground stole your pale, he knows you can't shoot.

I want my binky back.

You want your binky back, you gotta come in firing.

Now try again.

Hmmm.

- That's a nice gun. - Yep!

That's a cool gun.

Uh ha!

Well, it is so nice to see the two of you really talking.

This gun's very nice.

They are all nice gun's and all gun's are nice.

So, how'd shootin' go yesterday.

Great! I hit the center every time.

Well, that's terrific honey, in no time at all you'll be better that your father.

Now what's that supposed to mean,

Let's see him hold down a job and be so good.

Hey! Look at these father and son Poncho's, they zip together.

Dad, can we get 'em for the tournament.

Look, Bobby before we start buying a lot of paraphernalia and accessories and what not,

let's make sure we're not getting into another tap lesson situation here.

Why don't we get in to one of those safety courses

and if you're still interested after they've taken all the fun out of it,

then we'll see about the Poncho's and the...

Aaah! Tournament.

I didn't know it was loaded,

is not an acceptable excuse.

I wasn't there or I've never meet those people or better excuses.

When I was your age, I used to get so excited about hitting the target,

I'd run, right out on to the range.

That's how I lost this thumb, and later this eye.

If it weren't for the N.R A safety guidelines I eventually accepted

I'd be a stub standing here before you.

Okay, so I discharge the magazine first, no..first I put the safety.

You just put six shot dead center,

I know, so do I lay the magazine...

Hey, look at here. Look at this everybody.

Hank: You see its just..

I'm too busy for a competition.

We're coming up on the new propane season,

plus next week I was going to cheque in to buy a Hek Dorlan's motor cycle.

But you said if I was still interested and I am still interested.

Peggy: Hank you love guns,

Bobby loves guns, curve the time.

Bobby: Why do we have to practice so early.

Hank: I want you to get used to the pressure of shooting when no one's watching.

Hank: Ah..hah!

What's wrong with you? Why don't you steady yourself?

Uh! This is a training exercise.

Close one eye, how can you hit anything the way you're holding it.

Don't grip the barrel so hard,

it requires fineness. Grandpa: Someday..

Soon, all of you will be drafted in the war some of you like Hank, will be killed.

Others can shoot and they become war heroes.

Now commence to firing.

Uh! Something's wrong with my rifle, I can't shoot to-day.

- Let me see it. - No.

Come on! I bet, I can fix it.

You can't fix it, It's in the shaft.

There's no shaft on a gun.

It's tough shootin' out there today.

Yeah! I mean keeping the gun steady can take a lot out of the man.

Aah! Do you mind I'm trying to sit here.

Maybe I can help you. I'm a sports psychologist.

- I worked with the Cowboy's. - When?

- Last season. - Goodbye.

Okay, but consider this..

Researches show that athletic performance is 10% physical and a 100% mental.

That adds up to a 110%.

Break through!

Do you just hang out here all day waiting for someone to mess a lot.

Oh, just in the mornings when the lousy shoots arrive.

In the afternoons I go to the bowling alley.

Losers are very predictable.

Here's my card.

You're going to tear it up.

Bobby: Well what about practicing for the tournament after school.

Hank: Nah, I'd have to come here to get you then...

go back across town to the range.

- That could eat up ten minutes. - What about shoot in after dinner?

No no you don't want to exercise on a full stomach.

Well, maybe I can take the gun's to school and we could squeeze off a few rounds between classes.

You shouldn't take guns to school with you, they're dangerous.

Guns are dangerous?

Dale: What?

Oh! Brother.

Bobby go on and clean the guns I'll be in there, in a minute.

Bill: Well..what da..what's this about guns being dangerous.

Well, that right they kill people.
