Brother Nature

Wow.

The inset is perfect.

All right, it's ready.

And you're positive?

Yes, thank you for your Patience.

I know I've sent it back a few times for adjustments...

Five.

Five times. Yeah.

Well, I hope you and your future bride will live happily ever after.

I hope you live happily ever after yourself.

Nothing's gonna happen for me until I get these bangs figured out.

- Roger! - Hey.

Congressman McClaren should be here at 11:41.

Is this the rewrite on his speech? Yeah.

Good. Good.

Let's cut this section. Start with "born in Seattle"

and go into the dedication of troops.

Okay so, wait...

Actually no, I'll do that. Okay.

Do you want me to run a sound check?

Already did that. Are there too many red balloons on this side?

Um. Maybe. Do you want me to do something?

Yeah. Grab the raw veggies out of my car and put them on ice?

Okay.

Roger. Hey, Riggleman,

are these balloons symmetrical?

We have a situation.

This is the a Cappella group, the founding fathers.

They're the opening act for frank.

Ah. Gentlemen, I'm Roger Fellner,

congressman McClaren's chief of staff.

What seems to be the problem?

Well, our bass is drunk.

If it's talk about me, I'm right here.

You have a problem, Gabe!

Don't provoke him, please.

Uh, if I may suggest something?

If you three switch your baritone to a bassitone

and then you transpose it up half a step,

you'll still have a nice, clean three-part Harmony.

It's not going to be perfect, but they won't know the difference.

I see why one of them had to drink.

I've been coming to this festival

for longer than I can remember,

but somehow the funnel cake keeps getting tastier.

I was born and raised here in Seattle...

Whoo!

No, no, no.

Guess what? I'm the best!

Cowabunga!

Oh!

Is he okay?

Might be time to check the prescription on those bifocals, Ben.

Frank, I take full responsibility.

I don't think any clips will end up on YouTube...

Roger, lighten up.

I recovered. That bifocal line destroyed.

And just off the top of your head I was like,

"am I watching whose line is it anyway?"

Oh. Thank you. That's my favorite show.

I've decided not to run for re-election.

Oh, my... are you okay? Is it your health or...

I'm fine. My wife left me...

Oh! That bitch! ...A note, Roger.

She left me a note saying that she missed me.

You know, it made me realize I miss her, too.

Now, I know it doesn't give you much time...

You've given me more than time, you've given me...

You need to let me complete my sentences, Roger.

Time to campaign.

I think that you should run for my seat.

There's no one more qualified...

Yes. I will do it.

You don't need to give me an answer now.

You can discuss it with your family. I'll do it. I want it.

I'm definitely prepared. I think education reform should be my...

Roger, take a deep breath.

I want you to really think about this.

This job consumes every part of you.

Now, I'm telling you now so you have the vacation to consider.

And when we get back, if you still want it,

you have my full endorsement.

Sir, I cannot thank you enough.

This is my dream... My whole life... since fifth-grade student council

I knew that...

I'm sorry if I seem a little distracted but drunk Ben Franklin is back,

and I just want to make sure that baby he's holding is his baby.

Yes, you should do that. Okay!

See you in a week. So grateful. Thank you!

Hey, is that your baby? Yes, it is.

Is that your baby? This is my baby.

I am speechless. Come on. I couldn't do it without you.

That's not true. No, that's not entirely true.

I could probably do a fair amount, but...

Riggleman, will you be my campaign manager?

Of course, Roger! Yes. A hundred times, yes!

Sure, sure. I'll get started right away.

I'll get a scout, get headquarters...

Well don't break your back, you know, enjoy your vacation.

Uh, all I have planned is mother's birthday.

Well, that's nice. No, it's not nice.

All she wanted this year was to take me to get a haircut.

Which means we will go to a salon, of her choosing,

and she will watch me receive a haircut, of her choosing.

Moms, gotta love them, right?

I don't love my mom. I fear her.

Uh-huh. Well, I gotta go. I'm late.

...and because of your generous donations,

the read the world foundation

can continue its work traveling the globe,

and building libraries in under-developed countries.

This year, we're asking for your help to raise money

for our trip to Bangladesh,

where we'll spend three months establishing literacy programs

in the sundarbans.

Thank you for the $5. Great to see you!

Okay, take care. Bye.

So great, start to finish...

I saw you come in late.

I know. I'm sorry. Drunk Ben Franklin stole a baby.

That old excuse? I know.

But I would like to make a very generous donation as an apology.

Ooh! Accepted. Now we only mostly didn't reach our goal.

Oh, no, is it bad?

Well, we have a big fundraiser next month,

but we are so far behind.

Well, I guess maybe

you just don't leave your boyfriend for three months?

Maybe you come with me?

Will you settle for a week with your folks at the lake?

I can't wait for you to see it, it's so wonderful there.

And we deserve a break.

Absolutely. Yes.

Is now a bad time to tell you I'm running for congress?

Hi, Gwennie!

Hi, guys! Hi, kiddo, how are you?

Ew! Dad, what are you chewing on? Back away from the camera!

Melon.

What are you packing for? Come on, get here!

Did you get my email about packing your own towels?

Because for some reason the only ones that aren't being used

have these weird stains on them.

- I packed towels. - Oh! Hi, Roger!

Hey, guys. Hi!

Guys, Roger is running for congress! Oh...

Congratulations!

Oh, my god!

Mr. president in the making! You're the man!

Oh!

I gotta go get the stuff out of the dryer. I love you guys, I'll see you tomorrow!

No, don't, uh, hang up. I just got to ask them...

Just about, um... Because the weather was, uh...

Hey, guys. Um, actually, when we get up there,

I would love to find a moment alone with the two of you

to discuss something.

You're going down!

Oh, my god, we're under attack!

Gotta go. Under attack! Ow! Ow! Ow!

That one hit my boob, Todd!

Oh, man, it's a war zone over there

uh...

Hello.

Who is this?

Tomorrow, you're mine.

Hey, Gwen... Mmm-hmm.

Your sister's boyfriend Todd

sent me a friend request on Facebook. Oh. That's nice.

I mean, we haven't met before, right?

No, because they live in Colorado

and he wasn't at Thanksgiving because he had something at the camp.

"The camp"? Yeah, he's a counselor. You knew that.

I just didn't realize it was like a year-round thing.

I mean, he seems like a fun guy.

Are you ready for your first political scandal, Mr. future-congressman?

I love you so much.

No, don't get romantic because then I'm going to get self-conscious.

Sorry. Keep the fantasy. Get over here.

Mmm. Scandal me!

Mom! Mom!

What now? Mom, I got a splinter.

Oh! Jesus, Spencer, that looks awful.

Probably going to scar.

I'm going to get some disinfectant. Mel, watch them.

Love you too, babe.

Oh! It's so cute!

Are you in love already or what?

I am. I am.

They're here!

Hey, Roger! How are you?

Good. Good. So good to see you!

Tell me everything. What's going on?

Okay. Well, aunt Pam is going through menopause...

Roger! Hi, Roger.

How are you? Very good. Very happy to be here.

So are we, hon. And dinner's almost ready.

Oh! You're not a vegetarian, are you?

Oh! No. Okay, good.

Because look at this beast.

It looks so good I could nut!

Right.
