Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
'Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!'
Viper!
You know, I think
somewhere there's a zoo
with an empty cage.
Save it
for the paying customers.
Sorry, dude.
I love this song.
I know you do.
What happens
when he hates it?
Alright, you guys,
be honest.
What do you think
of the new band?
- You guys are so good.
- I like it..
No, you sound great.
You guys have a name yet?
Yes, we finally picked out
the perfect name.
Hot Daddy
and the Monkey Puppets.
It's weird, sick.
It's perfect.
- Uncle Jesse.
- Yes, shorty.
Didn't you like
my name for the band?
Uncle Jesse
and the Sunflowers.
Yeah, yeah.
I like the name.
It's just that the band didn't
wanna wear those big petal hats.
Good, good. Great rehearsal,
guys. Great rehearsal.
I think we're ready
for our big gig tomorrow.
Good job, Chucky.
Good job.
Holy bejeepers, Danny!
Whoa, that was a good one.
You got me there.
Okay, now I'll hide
and scare you, okay?
Joey, this is not a game.
I just saw D.J.
kissing that maniac Viper.
I think they've been sneaking
around doing that for weeks.
You know what, I'm gonna
put a stop to it right now.
Oh, Danny, I wouldn't
make a big deal about it.
Nothing makes a kid
wanna do something more
than if their parents
say they can't.
Yeah, you're right.
That makes a lot of sense.
[instrumental music]
[grunting]
Guys, I'm sorry.
The roadie I hired flaked out.
I'll try to find
another one.
Great, where
we gonna find a sucker
to haul all
this stuff for no money?
Hey, guys.
Joseph.
Joseph, my very,
very dear good friend.
Listen, the boys
and I were talking
and we-and we realized,
we need like a quality comedian
to open up
for us this weekend.
Uh, you interested?
Well, I gotta check
my datebook.
Wait a minute.
I don't have a datebook.
I'm your man!
Joe, Joe.
- We're gonna have so much fun.
- Alright, sure.
As long as you're coming
could you-could you
carry some of the stuff?
Sure-sure,
I got some new bits--
Okay, what you gonna do?
Do the Bob Hope this weekend.
Yeah, that'll be wild.
Yeah, great.
What else you've got?
I'll do, uh,
I'll do Joe Pesci as a potato.
"What you gonna do, scallop me?"
- That's funny.
- Yeah. That's funny.
"I'm baking now.
What, you gonna mash me, pal?"
That's gonna be funny.
'You're gonna be funny, Joe.'
Becky, It's just a weekend.
Why do you need
all this luggage?
Well, only this one's mine.
All the rest are Jesse's
hair care supplies.
Oh, Beck, I'm so glad, you
and the boys are coming along.
I can't wait to share the
thrill of the road with you.
You'll finally see
what I've been
talking about
all these years.
And every day is like.
is like an adventure.
You're gonna love it.
I'm so excited.
Let's hit the road.
You heard him.
Load 'em up!
Come on, guys.
Go follow daddy.
I'll help you guys out.
Deej, Viper says
hang in a second.
He wants to talk to you.
Psst! Viper!
- Hey, babe.
- Hey.
So you gonna come up
and see me play this weekend?
I want to
but I haven't figured out
what I'm gonna
tell my dad, yet.
How about,
"See you Monday?"
I wanna tell him,
not kill him.
Come on, D.J., I hate
sneaking around like this.
We care about each other.
I think, we ought to tell
your dad where we're at.
[instrumental music]
(Jesse)
'Oh, Beck, this is the best
part of the road.'
'The motel life.'
Number eight, my favorite room.
Check this out.
(Rebecca)
'Come on, guys.'
See. Look at this.
Isn't this, uh..
...nice?
It's charming.
Although I am guessing there
are no mints on the pillow.
No, but, uh, there's a life
saver stuck to the lampshade.
[chuckles]
I probably left it
there years ago.
Come on in, everybody.
Come on in.
Have some fun.
Alright, boys, very good.
It's, uh..
It seems a little-little
funkier than I remember
but the best part
is the view.
You guys are gonna
love the view.
There's this beautiful lake..
...right behind
that ugly wall...over.
Manny says not to leave
the equipment in the car.
Seems, uh, this
neighborhood's not as nice
as these lovely rooms
would suggest.
Why are you
putting it in here?
It's the only place
it'll fit.
We've got five guys sharing
a room half this size.
Can we watch TV, daddy?
- Please, please.
Please, please, please..
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- Please, please, please.
- Yes, yes, yes!
- Please, please.
[giggles]
I'll just grab the remote.
Oh, yeah.
That's good thinking.
Why would you-why would you
want a remote
that you could carry
around with you, or, uh..
...one that even works,
for that matter?
Well look. You need-you need
a quarter to work the TV.
[whirring]
[bed squeaking]
Earthquake.
No, no, no, honey.
It's not an earthquake.
It's a vibrating bed.
Seems the wires
are crossed.
Well, now, wait a second.
If a quarter in the TV
turns the bed on, then..
[toilet flushing]
That's a good thing to know.
[vacuum cleaner whirring]
- Hey, dad.
- Yeah.
Okay if Kimmy and I drive up
to see Uncle Jesse play?
We'll get a room tonight
and be back tomorrow.
- Thanks, see ya.
- 'Hold it.'
Oh, don't worry.
We'll pay for gas.
D.J., you must think
I'm completely clueless.
I-I know that you're driving up
to see Viper right now.
I know all about you two.
You do?
I saw you both kissing
the other day.
Why were you
spying on me?
Why were you
sneaking around?
Because I know
how you feel about Viper.
You're always
putting him down.
You-you called him an animal.
Deej, look at him.
He's the reason they
invented restraining orders.
See, you're doing it again.
I just don't think
he's the kind of guy
that you should
be going out with.
Dad, I'm almost 18.
A senior in high school.
You can't exactly
tell me who to date.
I'm not tellin you
who to date.
I'm-I'm telling you
who not to date.
See, I knew
you'd flip out.
I'm not flipping out,
and I'll tell you
another thing I'm not doing.
I'm not giving
you my car keys.
So you can drive up
and see this guy.
Fine.
I'll go in Kimmy's.
Now I'm flipping out.
[instrumental music]
Earthquake is fun, mommy.
Yeah.
Wish I'd brought more quarters.
Alright.
Dinner is served.
Cheesy puffs,
cupcakes, and candy?
What happened
to eats and gas?
Well, there's plenty of gas,
but eats was closed..
...in 1989.
Candy for dinner?
No, son.
You know the rules.
No candy until you eat
your cheesy puffs.
Here you go.
Oh, I knew I smelled
cheesy puff goodness.
- Yeah.
- Hoo, hoo, hoo.
- Right here, Joe.
- There you go.
Where are the rest
of the monkey puppets?
Back in the room
playing earthquake.
Jess, you were right, man.
I mean, life on the road
is totally cool.
Hey, Viper, wake up
and smell the mildew.
This is nothing
like it used to be.
You know, everything is changed.
Except for the sheets.
Honey, maybe you're
the one that's changed.
I mean, let's face it, this
place was never Caesar's palace.
Well, it used
to be fun, you know?
Now it's-it's-it's gross.
I don't know.
What's happened to me?
You got old, man.
You're right.
You're right. I did get old.
I mean, driving up here, I had
my left blinker on for 62 miles.
I mean, what's next,
I'll be wearing my pants
up around my chest?
Running around asking kids
to pull my finger?
[telephone ringing]
I got this ringing
in my ear now.
That's the telephone.
Talk to me.
Jess, D.J. is on her way
up there right now.
Steph, Michelle,
get down here.
So D.J.'s coming up to see
the show. What's the big deal?
Well, she's not just coming
up to see the show, Jess.
She's coming up
to see Viper.
They've been dating.
Dad, what's going on?
Girls, get in the car
right away, okay?
Can I get some juice
before we go?
No, no, no beverages at all.
We're not stopping for anything.
Get in the car.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
'Look, Jesse, I'm coming
up there right now.'
Danny, Danny, Danny, please.
Now-now calm down,
take a deep breath.
[Danny exhales]
Very good.
Now listen,
the most important thing
is don't do
anything rash, okay?
'Okay.'
Viper, you're fired.
Sorry, dude. I didn't know
it was your cupcake.
It ain't nothing to do
with a cupcake, dude!
You know the rule,
no dating my family.
There's no rule about that.
Oh, oh, yeah.
You're right.
Okay, all in favor.
You're out!
And stay away from my niece.
Look, you can throw me
out of the band.
You can't tell me
how to live my life, okay?
[scoffs]
I'll see you, pops.
Pops!
And give me back my cupcake.
Thank you.
[instrumental music]
Testing.
One, two.

[coughing]
Oh!
Whoa! Phew!
I hope you're not planning on
singing crud like that tonight?
Actually,
I'm the comic/roadie.
I'll be opening for Hot Daddy
and The Monkey Puppets tonight.
What is this monkey garbage?
Tonight is polka night.
I booked Big Papa
and the Polka Puppies.
There's been
a horrible mix up.
Oh, it's gonna be
horrible, alright.
I got bus loads of
polka fans coming here tonight
and they're gonna be real angry
if they're not dancing
to a fat guy in shorts
playing oompah.
- And who could blame 'em?
- Ah!
- Excuse me for just a second.
- Alright.
Jess.
What?
Did you ever take
tuba lessons?
What are you
talking about?
Oh, we got a situation here.
Uncle Jesse.
I'll get back to you
on the tuba talk.
Listen, Deej,
I'm glad you're here.
I gotta talk
to you about Viper.
What? Did my dad call?
Was he flipping out?
Uh, yeah, he was, but, uh
don't worry,
your Uncle J calmed him down.
Oh, thanks, Uncle Jesse.
At least somebody
in this family is cool.
(Jesse)
'Yeah.'
- Where's Viper?
- I fired him.
You fired him?
Well, just 'cause
I'm dating him?
Come on, D.J., I did it
for your own protection.
I know guys like this.
He's a musician, you know?
He's young, he's wild,
he's-he's got an earring, he..
Oh, my God, I'm starting
to sound like my father.
Actually,
you're more like my mother.
Oh, yeah, right.
Like I make dry pot roast
and talk back to Matlock.
What I mean is,
do you think my mother
was happy when
I started dating you?
- Mmm-hmm.
- No!
I had to show her that
there was more to you
than long hair,
rock and roll and a Harley.
Yeah, there's more
to Viper, too.
Yeah, have you
seen him in tight jeans?
Hey, Kimmy.
Free pickled
pig feet at the bar.
I'm there.
Hey, hey, hey!
Uh, speaking of polkas..
- Nobody was speaking of polkas.
- Perhaps we should.
Why aren't you
in your polka costume?
Why aren't you
in Brooklyn?
Come on. Come on.
The buses are here.
Huh?
Look, they're here.
Is there a dress code
we're not aware of?
You're the band, and you're
gonna to be playing polkas.
Listen, Jocko,
I may be getting old
but I'm still
young enough to rock and roll.
And there's no way that
I'm getting up on that stage
playing any silly stinking
polkas, alright?
And another thing, anybody
caught dead in these outfits
oughta be taken
out in the back and..
And-and-and
given an-an award
for their fine-fine
sense of fashion.
My, you look
handsome today.
[chuckles]
Listen I-I would love
to play a-a rousing rendition
of a-of a
hopping polka for you
but gosh darn it,
my tuba's out getting detailed.
Oh!
No problem. I have a room
full of polka supplies.
You're out of excuses, pal.
Well, uh, I-I can
help you out here, Jess.
- Viper.
- Hey, babe.
I was hoping
you'd be here.
Hey, how are you gonna
help, Goldilocks?
- Well, I-I play a little polka.
- Yeah?
Yeah, my dad
used to have a band
um, Big Heinz
and The Polka Dots.
Wait a minute. Where you the kid
with the little accordion?
Yeah, that-that was me.
Tiny Heinz.
Really?
You'd help me out
even though
I kicked you
out of the band?
Yeah.
You're alright, Tiny.
Uh, let's just
stick with Viper.
Right.
Listen, guys,
I'm, uh, I'm sorry
I lost my head over this whole
thing between you two.
So preoccupied
about getting old
I forgot what
it's like to be young.
And...I'd love to have
you back in the band.
You got it.
Well, well, well,
I'm glad we're all happy now.
But if we don't start to hear
some oompah-pah soon
this crowd's
gonna turn ugly.
I think
it's already turning.
Alright, I'm about
to say somethin'
I'm sure Elvis never said.
Let's polka, baby.
See, Deej?
Everything worked out just fine.
Uh...you might wanna
hold that thought.
Dad, we need to talk
about me and Viper.
Okay, you wanna talk
to me about you and Viper?
Let's talk.
I'm listening.
[sighs]
Dad, I'm sorry
I ran out like that.
I can't tell you
how much that hurt me, Deej.
Well, I didn't
do it to hurt you.
I was frustrated.
You weren't listening
to anything I was saying.
You just made your mind up
about Viper and that was it.
Look, I'm your father.
Don't I have any say
over who you go out with?
No.
It's not too late
to change your answer.
Dad, I love you,
and I respect your opinion.
But you have to respect the fact
that who I date is up to me.
I know that.
And-and I do.
I know I flip out sometimes.
Truth is I-I do trust
your judgment, D.J.
Thanks, dad.
That means a lot to me.
But Viper?
Dad, there's a lot of things
you don't know about him.
Yeah, like what?
Like, he's
a really decent guy.
I mean, he wanted
to tell you about us.
He's sweet and caring.
And looks really good
in leather shorts.
