Baskets

Ladies and gentlemen,

B-B-B-B-Baskets The Clown!

I'm a diabetic.

I gotta face facts.

It's time to grow up, okay?

You need a real j-o-b, and that spells job.

I am so proud of you for getting that job.

And you look happier, too.

Martha told me that you found out about

our little, uh, sex romp in the van.

Dale, are you, um, putting out a sex vibe?

Maybe a little bit. Sure.

- Yes, that's good, Dale. - Yeah!

She was my friend first. You stay away from her.

You know what? I'm movin' in with you and mama.

It's gonna be so good to have you home, Dale.

Gonna have to close up shop, shut the rodeo down.

I'm a clown, I need this place. What am I gonna do?

Oh, hell, you'll be a clown

whether this place is here or not.

I did not see the box of socks,

but I'll take your word for it.

- If you could just sign right here. - I gotta go.

Oh. We could have your wife sign.

That is not my wife. That is my mother.

Sorry about that.

Why does that always happen to me?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- That's me, by the way. - Thank you.

- Hello. - Oh, hey, um, is Mrs. Baskets home?

I wanted to drop something off for her.

Martha, I'm here.

- Oh. - We haven't seen Chip, sweetie.

- Come on in. - Okay. Well...

You just missed Dale, though.

Oh, well, that's okay.

Martha, get in here.

I'm doing a family wall.

- Hi, Mrs. Baskets. - Hi.

- Hi. - Look at these. Look at this.

Look at this. Do you see me?

Wow, that's a great sweater set that you're wearing.

Well, it's right in the garage if you ever want it.

- Well... - You know, I saved all my clothes.

- Oh, really? - Is that a crazy thing?

I don't know. I thought, well, what if I have twin girls?

And that's my brother, Jim. He's a nice kid.

And that's my mom. How about her?

- Wasn't she something? - She looks great.

Look at her, what a looker she was.

Here's my father.

- Oh. - I'm just kidding.

No, but I thought I'd put this up. What do you think?

- Yeah, that would go... - Oh.

- Look at Cody and Logan. - Wow.

- I got it off their Facebook. - Is that like an ad?

I don't know what it is. It's so pretty, though, isn't it?

Listen, Mrs. Baskets, I know it's only been a couple of weeks...

Yes.

But I made a missing flier for Chip at work.

- A missing flier? - Yeah, I'm worried.

Lost! God, where'd you get that picture?

I got it off the Internet.

Yeah, what, most wanted? I can't believe you did this.

I'm really worried about him,

and I thought if I put these up...

Martha, don't worry about this.

This is what kids do.

They try to get your attention.

And Chip is a master at that.

When he was a kid, he would go down to the Parsons.

He would hide in their boat, of all things.

He's okay.

Have you checked their boat?

No, and I'm not gonna check their boat. He'll show up.

I'm sure right now Chip is having the time of his life.

Hot. It's hot.

Okay, that will be $15.87.

Wow. For this?

Yes.

- Nothing's on sale? - No.

Okay.

Sometimes they get in the crevices.

That's it.

Okay, uh...

One more time with the price.

$15.87.

Still. Okay. I think I'll just take this.

How much is just this?

Ow!

Ow!

What are you doing here?

I'm trying to get some sleep.

Could you turn that off, please?

No, Pal, you're trespassing.

This train is private property.

You can't be here.

It's okay, I'm a hobo.

Enough games. Boys.

- Oh, God! - Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey... Uh-oh. Whoa!

Hey, man, relax. Hey! Hey, hey, dude, relax.

Morpheus.

Look, this dude, Morpheus,

he stitched you up, man.

Uh, you want some water?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

We boiled it, it's clean.

- It's clean? - Yeah, go ahead.

It's potable.

It tastes like a foot.

- Hello. - Hey.

You know, I used dental floss on your stitches.

Peppermint.

I was wondering what that smell was.

Thank you.

Morpheus. This dude is, like, on another level, man.

He'll show you these YouTube videos that'll just...

They'll change your life.

Um, you know, we found this guy last week in Portland,

and they really beat the shit out of him.

You gotta be careful.

Who beat the shit... they beat the shit out of him?

Oh, no, these guys are my friends.

This is Tank, Mouse, Cipher.

Mouse, what you cookin' tonight?

- Burrito bowls. - Oh, my man is a sick chef.

This dude, like, used to work at Chipotle,

so his... oh, his burrito bowls are dank.

Oh, cool. I'm an Arby's man.

- Oh. - Yeah, I worked at Arby's.

- Good for you. - Yeah.

Arby's, not corporate but one of their stores.

We've got the meats.

Yeah, so we all come from, like, pretty weird situations, but...

- Really. - We got rain.

Better sit tight.

Hey.

How are those Noodles?

So good.

This stuff's good 'til 2021.

Yo, noodles, I, uh, made you a burrito bowl.

Thank you very much.

All right, come on. Let's go.

Good luck on your journeys there, Noodles.

Yeah, if you find an Aloe Vera plant,

rub it on your shoulder.

Take care.

Where are you guys going?

South. Rain's coming.

It sucks out here without a tarp.

Well, maybe I can go with you, maybe I can join your troupe.

Hey, Morpheus.

Noodles wants to come with us.

What's that, Noodles?

I just... maybe I could join you guys, you know.

This family survives because we each contribute.

There's no freeloading.

Well, I don't have any practical skills.

None. That's why I'm out here.

My IQ is iffy. At best.

I went to France to study to become a clown.

But I don't think clowns are needed as much,

since the world has become so clownish.

This is it. This is all I got. Just me.

Hey, hey. Come here.

Welcome home.

He's a clown!

Yeah.

Maybe there was a reason we found you.

Everybody has such nice teeth.

Now, up the hill. Let's go.

Ladies and gentlemen,

All donations are appreciated at the freak show.

Let's hear it for the lovely Cipher, and Tank.

So get that garbage out of your pocket,

and put it in the garbage box.

We'll decide just how much it's worth.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

Mouse is going to do something
