1
00:00:04,286 --> 00:00:05,286
[man panting]
2
00:00:05,330 --> 00:00:06,550
Hey, Calvin.
3
00:00:06,592 --> 00:00:08,152
Hey, how was your run?
4
00:00:08,203 --> 00:00:10,503
Oh, it was great; I did five
miles but I could really use...
5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,130
...some new shoes.
6
00:00:17,168 --> 00:00:18,518
Oh, my bad.
7
00:00:18,561 --> 00:00:20,561
I thought you were
gonna say "cool down."
8
00:00:20,606 --> 00:00:22,396
Hey, did you see the ambulance
9
00:00:22,434 --> 00:00:23,564
in front of Mr. Benson's
last night?
10
00:00:23,609 --> 00:00:25,009
Yeah.
11
00:00:25,046 --> 00:00:27,006
Any idea what happened?
I want to get some intel
12
00:00:27,048 --> 00:00:28,618
so I can update our
neighborhood Facebook page.
13
00:00:28,658 --> 00:00:30,788
We have a neighborhood
Facebook page?
14
00:00:30,834 --> 00:00:32,094
How many people are on it?
15
00:00:32,140 --> 00:00:33,800
[chuckles] Well,
as soon as you accept
16
00:00:33,837 --> 00:00:35,317
my friend request, two.
17
00:00:37,145 --> 00:00:38,755
So do you know what happened
to Mr. Benson?
18
00:00:38,798 --> 00:00:40,148
Yeah.
19
00:00:40,191 --> 00:00:41,531
He dead.
20
00:00:41,584 --> 00:00:44,154
Whoa, wha-what? Calvin.
21
00:00:44,195 --> 00:00:45,845
That-- that's terrible.
22
00:00:45,892 --> 00:00:47,632
You wouldn't say that
if you knew him.
23
00:00:47,677 --> 00:00:49,157
I mean...
24
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,030
there's a reason that people
in this neighborhood
25
00:00:51,072 --> 00:00:52,812
called him
"Mean Mr. Benson."
26
00:00:52,856 --> 00:00:55,116
I didn't know they
called him that.
27
00:00:55,163 --> 00:00:56,593
Yeah, probably like
you don't know
28
00:00:56,642 --> 00:00:58,292
they call you "Bobblehead Dave."
29
00:01:00,124 --> 00:01:02,124
Oh, I know it
and I love it.
30
00:01:03,388 --> 00:01:05,738
So what was so mean
about Mr. Benson?
31
00:01:05,782 --> 00:01:07,952
Oh, everything.
The man has terrorized
32
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:09,481
this neighborhood
since I was a kid.
33
00:01:09,525 --> 00:01:12,355
Always yelling at people
to cut their grass
34
00:01:12,397 --> 00:01:14,447
or pull their trash cans up.
35
00:01:14,486 --> 00:01:17,486
And if ever I had a ball
or a Frisbee go into his yard,
36
00:01:17,533 --> 00:01:19,313
never saw it again.
37
00:01:19,361 --> 00:01:21,311
[chuckles] You know,
that actually reminds me.
38
00:01:21,363 --> 00:01:23,273
I accidentally
threw our Frisbee
39
00:01:23,321 --> 00:01:24,581
into your backyard
the other day.
40
00:01:24,627 --> 00:01:26,367
Green one?Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
41
00:01:26,411 --> 00:01:27,711
Haven't seen it.
42
00:01:28,761 --> 00:01:30,761
Well, you know--
43
00:01:30,807 --> 00:01:32,937
I'm sure Mr. Benson
wasn't all bad.
44
00:01:32,983 --> 00:01:34,373
I mean, take my
Aunt Phyllis.
45
00:01:34,419 --> 00:01:37,029
Nobody liked her,
but once you got over the fact
46
00:01:37,074 --> 00:01:38,814
that she treated her pets
better than people
47
00:01:38,858 --> 00:01:41,038
and pretty much despised
all of humanity,
48
00:01:41,078 --> 00:01:43,648
she made the most delicious
rhubarb pie.
49
00:01:45,213 --> 00:01:47,913
Well, Mr. Benson was so mean,
50
00:01:47,954 --> 00:01:50,344
not even the Jehovah's Witnesses
would knock on his door.
51
00:01:50,392 --> 00:01:51,782
And they talk to anybody.
52
00:01:51,828 --> 00:01:54,748
I know, aren't
they the best?
53
00:01:54,787 --> 00:01:57,617
But then they're always like,
"We got to go now, Dave."
54
00:01:59,401 --> 00:02:01,401
So, do you know when
they're having his funeral?
55
00:02:01,446 --> 00:02:03,366
I don't know.
He was such a loner.
56
00:02:03,405 --> 00:02:05,145
There probably
won't be one.
57
00:02:05,189 --> 00:02:07,589
And even if there was,
no one would go.
58
00:02:07,626 --> 00:02:09,936
Man, that's so sad, Calvin.
59
00:02:09,976 --> 00:02:11,236
Yeah...
We should
do something
60
00:02:11,282 --> 00:02:13,152
to remember him.
61
00:02:13,197 --> 00:02:16,417
We should put his death on
the neighborhood Facebook page.
62
00:02:16,461 --> 00:02:19,111
What-- So you'll accept
my friend request?
63
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,380
Sure. Just as soon
as he does.
64
00:02:23,338 --> 00:02:25,258
♪ Welcome to the block,
welcome to the neighborhood ♪
65
00:02:25,296 --> 00:02:26,256
♪ Welcome to the hood.
66
00:02:33,739 --> 00:02:35,179
Mm.
67
00:02:35,219 --> 00:02:36,489
Oh.
68
00:02:36,525 --> 00:02:38,175
Okay.
69
00:02:38,222 --> 00:02:40,482
"Ten Ways to Please Your Man."
70
00:02:43,358 --> 00:02:44,928
All right, well, let's see
71
00:02:44,968 --> 00:02:47,278
what's on the menu
for this weekend.
72
00:02:47,318 --> 00:02:49,498
Okay, okay, I ain't mad at that.
73
00:02:49,538 --> 00:02:51,588
I see you, number seven.
74
00:02:51,627 --> 00:02:53,327
[chuckling]:
Okay.
75
00:02:53,368 --> 00:02:55,458
Oh, number nine, you just
a little ol' freak.
76
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:57,590
[laughs]
77
00:02:57,633 --> 00:03:01,373
Let's see what number ten is--
Oh, hell no.
78
00:03:01,419 --> 00:03:02,559
No, nuh-uh, oh.
79
00:03:02,594 --> 00:03:04,554
No, uh-uh.
80
00:03:04,596 --> 00:03:05,856
[grunts]
81
00:03:05,902 --> 00:03:07,252
Oh.
82
00:03:07,295 --> 00:03:08,595
[Tina grunting]
83
00:03:08,644 --> 00:03:10,474
Hey, babe.Oh, hey, Calvin.
84
00:03:10,515 --> 00:03:12,215
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's all this?
85
00:03:12,256 --> 00:03:14,256
Well, we just came
from the church meeting
86
00:03:14,302 --> 00:03:15,692
about Mr. Benson passing.
87
00:03:15,738 --> 00:03:17,438
And since he didn't
have any people,
88
00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:19,439
I offered to throw
the repass here.
89
00:03:19,481 --> 00:03:21,391
What?
And then I discovered
90
00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:23,579
that a repass was kind of like
a funeral after-party
91
00:03:23,615 --> 00:03:25,525
and we were off to the races.
92
00:03:27,097 --> 00:03:28,667
Uh, hold on, Tina.
93
00:03:28,707 --> 00:03:32,017
We're not hosting a repass
for somebody I hated.
94
00:03:32,058 --> 00:03:34,798
I wouldn't host one for
myself and I love me.
95
00:03:34,844 --> 00:03:36,804
[chuckles]
96
00:03:36,846 --> 00:03:38,716
Look, I didn't like him
any more than you
97
00:03:38,761 --> 00:03:40,501
but it's the Christian thing
to do and besides,
98
00:03:40,545 --> 00:03:42,935
I've thrown plenty of stuff
for you that I didn't want to.
99
00:03:42,982 --> 00:03:44,632
Like what?Like that end of the year
banquet
100
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,640
for your bowling team
where you all just
101
00:03:46,682 --> 00:03:48,592
sat around and complained
about being robbed.
102
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,040
They overwaxed the lanes, Tina.
103
00:03:51,077 --> 00:03:52,467
[groans]
104
00:03:53,515 --> 00:03:56,515
You know, this repass
has your name
105
00:03:56,561 --> 00:03:57,951
written all over it.
106
00:03:57,997 --> 00:03:59,307
Oh, you mean like my Frisbee?
107
00:03:59,347 --> 00:04:01,527
Hey--
108
00:04:01,566 --> 00:04:03,526
Calvin, don't worry, okay?
109
00:04:03,568 --> 00:04:05,788
I'm pitching in, too:
I'm picking up flowers
110
00:04:05,831 --> 00:04:08,261
and I volunteered
to say a few words on
111
00:04:08,312 --> 00:04:10,442
on Mr. Benson's behalf.But you didn't
even know the man.
112
00:04:10,488 --> 00:04:11,748
And I'm about to change that.
113
00:04:11,794 --> 00:04:13,224
I'm gonna ask people
in the neighborhood
114
00:04:13,274 --> 00:04:14,574
for their fond
memories of him.
115
00:04:14,623 --> 00:04:16,713
Oh, okay.
Here's one.
116
00:04:16,755 --> 00:04:18,405
For Halloween,
he threw rocks at me
117
00:04:18,453 --> 00:04:21,453
and yelled at me,
"Get off my lawn, Wack Ninja!"
118
00:04:22,805 --> 00:04:24,635
I wasn't even a ninja, Dave.
119
00:04:24,676 --> 00:04:26,196
I was a black ghost.
120
00:04:26,243 --> 00:04:28,463
[laughs] Okay.
121
00:04:28,506 --> 00:04:30,376
Calvin, I've never seen
a black ghost.
122
00:04:30,421 --> 00:04:32,071
Well, trust me.
In this neighborhood,
123
00:04:32,118 --> 00:04:34,338
you don't want to walk around
with a white sheet
124
00:04:34,382 --> 00:04:36,382
over your head.
Okay.
125
00:04:36,427 --> 00:04:39,517
Fine, you know what?
Maybe Mr. Benson was
126
00:04:39,561 --> 00:04:41,341
a little bit grumpy.
127
00:04:41,389 --> 00:04:43,569
But I believe that if
you look hard enough,
128
00:04:43,608 --> 00:04:45,658
there's something nice
to say about everybody.
129
00:04:45,697 --> 00:04:48,177
Oh, see? This is about
your bitter old aunt
130
00:04:48,221 --> 00:04:49,741
and her bitter rhubarb pie.
131
00:04:49,788 --> 00:04:50,878
Oh, no, no, no.
132
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,230
My aunt was bitter.
133
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:55,450
The rhubarb pie was
incredible, Calvin.
134
00:04:58,928 --> 00:05:02,588
It's so nice of you guys
to host Mr. Benson's repass.
135
00:05:02,627 --> 00:05:04,287
Well, it's the
right thing to do.
136
00:05:04,325 --> 00:05:05,455
Get the neighborhood
together,
137
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:07,640
everybody brings
food and bam!
138
00:05:07,676 --> 00:05:09,506
There's enough leftovers
that Mama doesn't
139
00:05:09,547 --> 00:05:12,077
have to cook for a week.[laughs]
140
00:05:12,115 --> 00:05:13,855
Hey, Mom.
141
00:05:13,899 --> 00:05:15,599
Hi, sweetie.
142
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,340
I've been thinking
about Mr. Benson.
143
00:05:17,381 --> 00:05:19,121
Where do people go
when they die?
144
00:05:19,165 --> 00:05:20,775
Oh, um...
145
00:05:20,819 --> 00:05:22,519
uh, well...
146
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,870
that's a good question.
147
00:05:24,910 --> 00:05:27,740
And the answer
is very complicated.
148
00:05:27,783 --> 00:05:29,653
You see, existence
is a complex thing...
149
00:05:29,698 --> 00:05:32,618
Do you know, Miss Tina?
150
00:05:32,657 --> 00:05:35,137
Well, of course I do.
151
00:05:35,181 --> 00:05:38,571
If you're good, you go
to this glorious place
152
00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:41,630
in the sky called Heaven,
filled with angels
153
00:05:41,666 --> 00:05:43,666
and toys and all the
candy you can eat.
154
00:05:43,712 --> 00:05:45,322
Cool.
155
00:05:45,366 --> 00:05:47,236
See, Mom? Simple.
156
00:05:50,022 --> 00:05:52,582
Well, that wasn't exactly
the answer I was gonna give.
157
00:05:52,634 --> 00:05:54,934
I know, girl, but I
got a repass to plan.
158
00:05:54,984 --> 00:05:57,554
We would have
been here all day.
[chuckles]
159
00:05:57,595 --> 00:05:59,555
I didn't even think about
all the questions
160
00:05:59,597 --> 00:06:01,427
this was gonna raise for Grover.
161
00:06:01,469 --> 00:06:03,869
Well, why don't you just
tell him what you think?
162
00:06:03,906 --> 00:06:06,696
Because that's exactly
what my parents did to me.
163
00:06:06,735 --> 00:06:08,305
They told me what to believe.
164
00:06:08,345 --> 00:06:10,605
I-I'd rather have Grover
figure it out for himself.
165
00:06:10,652 --> 00:06:12,262
I respect that.
166
00:06:12,305 --> 00:06:14,695
I mean, it's blasphemous,
but I respect it.
167
00:06:14,743 --> 00:06:16,133
[laughs]
168
00:06:18,747 --> 00:06:20,487
Hmm.
169
00:06:21,489 --> 00:06:23,099
And what's this?
170
00:06:28,104 --> 00:06:31,454
Looks like somebody wants
an early birthday present.
171
00:06:34,415 --> 00:06:36,025
CALVIN:
Hey, babe.Hey.
172
00:06:36,068 --> 00:06:37,508
Got the food for the repass.
173
00:06:42,074 --> 00:06:44,904
Calvin, what is this?
I told you to get finger foods.
174
00:06:44,947 --> 00:06:46,467
Oh, I did.
175
00:06:46,514 --> 00:06:48,554
You can eat these day-old
bagels with your fingers.
176
00:06:50,082 --> 00:06:52,342
Oh, he's just
being cheap because
177
00:06:52,389 --> 00:06:53,869
Mean Mr. Benson
never paid him
178
00:06:53,912 --> 00:06:56,042
for mowing the lawn
in the summer of '79.
179
00:06:56,088 --> 00:06:57,958
Oh, I'm sorry.
180
00:06:58,003 --> 00:06:59,833
Is there a statute
of limitations
181
00:06:59,875 --> 00:07:01,745
on making a black ghost cry?
182
00:07:02,791 --> 00:07:04,441
Calvin, don't you think
183
00:07:04,488 --> 00:07:05,708
you're being
a little ridiculous?
184
00:07:05,750 --> 00:07:07,060
Just let it go.
185
00:07:07,099 --> 00:07:08,499
Oh.
186
00:07:08,536 --> 00:07:09,576
This from the lady
who had to switch
187
00:07:09,624 --> 00:07:11,714
grocery stores for
being called out
188
00:07:11,756 --> 00:07:15,626
for having more than 12
items in the express lane.
189
00:07:15,673 --> 00:07:18,023
If they're gonna
count gum as an item,
190
00:07:18,067 --> 00:07:19,727
it shouldn't be at the register.
191
00:07:21,984 --> 00:07:23,634
Hey, hey.
192
00:07:23,681 --> 00:07:25,551
Turns out half
my childhood
193
00:07:25,596 --> 00:07:27,686
was in Mean Mr. Benson's
backyard. [chuckles]
194
00:07:28,686 --> 00:07:30,516
Oh, lookee here.
195
00:07:30,558 --> 00:07:32,648
It's Marty's little army doll.
196
00:07:32,690 --> 00:07:34,740
Hey, man. He was
a prisoner of war
197
00:07:34,779 --> 00:07:36,659
for 15 years.
198
00:07:38,653 --> 00:07:41,303
Welcome home, soldier.
199
00:07:42,308 --> 00:07:44,658
So much has changed.
[groans]
200
00:07:44,702 --> 00:07:46,182
Oh, what's that?
201
00:07:46,225 --> 00:07:47,665
Oh, no, Malcolm
still lives here.
202
00:07:51,579 --> 00:07:53,319
Mom, what's a massage parlor?
203
00:07:53,363 --> 00:07:55,583
What? What--
204
00:07:55,626 --> 00:07:57,496
Why would you ask that?
205
00:07:57,541 --> 00:07:59,761
I'm looking for
Heaven on Google Maps
206
00:07:59,804 --> 00:08:02,194
and it says it's
a massage parlor in Koreatown.
207
00:08:02,241 --> 00:08:03,981
Oh, okay, I-I, uh...
208
00:08:04,026 --> 00:08:07,116
I think that's enough
screen time for today.
209
00:08:07,159 --> 00:08:08,949
Hey.
210
00:08:08,987 --> 00:08:10,777
I've been meaning
to talk to you about
211
00:08:10,815 --> 00:08:12,725
what Miss Tina said
about Heaven.
212
00:08:12,774 --> 00:08:14,774
Okay.
It's just that
213
00:08:14,819 --> 00:08:18,569
not everyone sees "heaven"
the same way Miss Tina does.
214
00:08:18,606 --> 00:08:20,566
They don't?
No.
215
00:08:20,608 --> 00:08:23,568
For example, some people
believe that heaven
216
00:08:23,611 --> 00:08:25,221
exists inside your heart.
217
00:08:25,264 --> 00:08:28,524
And others believe that
heaven is here on Earth
218
00:08:28,572 --> 00:08:30,312
and that our souls
just keep coming back
219
00:08:30,356 --> 00:08:33,186
as a new being,
like a turtle or a horse.
220
00:08:33,229 --> 00:08:36,539
Cool. I want to come
back as a dung beetle.
221
00:08:36,580 --> 00:08:38,330
What?
222
00:08:38,364 --> 00:08:40,194
Why would you want that?
223
00:08:40,236 --> 00:08:42,456
It's the world's
strongest insect.
224
00:08:42,499 --> 00:08:45,589
It can carry a thousand
times its body weight.
225
00:08:45,633 --> 00:08:48,333
Yes. Of dung.
226
00:08:48,374 --> 00:08:50,154
I know!
227
00:08:50,202 --> 00:08:53,772
Hey, Dad, I'm gonna be
a dung beetle.
228
00:08:53,815 --> 00:08:56,125
Oh, awesome, buddy.
World's strongest insect.
229
00:08:56,165 --> 00:08:57,555
[sighs]
230
00:08:57,601 --> 00:08:59,601
Hey, babe.
Hey.
231
00:08:59,647 --> 00:09:01,607
Did you have any luck
finding out about Mr. Benson?
232
00:09:01,649 --> 00:09:05,049
No. I went door-to-door
through the entire neighborhood
233
00:09:05,087 --> 00:09:06,697
and the only thing
I heard about him
234
00:09:06,741 --> 00:09:09,221
was that he was from New Orleans
235
00:09:09,265 --> 00:09:12,485
and they wish he had died there.
236
00:09:12,529 --> 00:09:14,839
Geez, he sounds like
a real Aunt Phyllis.
237
00:09:14,879 --> 00:09:17,229
I know, but you--
238
00:09:17,273 --> 00:09:19,533
I'm not giving up until
I find his rhubarb pie.
239
00:09:19,580 --> 00:09:21,370
And you will.
240
00:09:21,407 --> 00:09:23,327
Because you can find
the good in anybody.
241
00:09:23,366 --> 00:09:24,586
Thank you.
242
00:09:24,628 --> 00:09:26,368
But you really got
to stop inviting
243
00:09:26,412 --> 00:09:27,842
the Jehovah's Witnesses
to stay for dinner.
244
00:09:32,941 --> 00:09:35,331
Hey, Miss Kim.
Uh, I knocked on your door
245
00:09:35,378 --> 00:09:36,908
earlier, but I guess
you weren't home.
246
00:09:36,945 --> 00:09:38,905
Oh, no, I was there.
247
00:09:38,947 --> 00:09:40,297
I saw you, Bobblehead Dave.
248
00:09:42,341 --> 00:09:43,731
I, well, you know,
I was just wondering
249
00:09:43,778 --> 00:09:45,698
if you had any positive memories
about Mr. Benson
250
00:09:45,736 --> 00:09:48,086
from before he died.No.
251
00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:49,700
That old bastard.
252
00:09:52,134 --> 00:09:55,484
Tina, how much did we
pay for all this food?
253
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:57,358
About a half
a bowling party,
254
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,930
not including the trophies
you bought yourselves.
255
00:10:01,186 --> 00:10:02,976
Well, I think it's a
waste of our money
256
00:10:03,014 --> 00:10:04,844
and a waste of
our hospitality.
257
00:10:04,886 --> 00:10:06,716
And why nobody
eating these bagels?
Oh, no.
258
00:10:06,757 --> 00:10:08,327
[pained grunt]
259
00:10:11,936 --> 00:10:13,986
They're delicious.
260
00:10:15,157 --> 00:10:17,947
Oh, shoot, here comes
Miss Kim. Hide me.
261
00:10:17,986 --> 00:10:20,946
Oop-- [laughs]
Too late.
No, no, no.
262
00:10:20,989 --> 00:10:22,949
Oh, Marty.
263
00:10:22,991 --> 00:10:25,201
Aren't you looking
like a whole snack?
264
00:10:26,777 --> 00:10:28,567
Uh, don't you mean
Malcolm?
265
00:10:28,605 --> 00:10:30,915
Ah, Malcolm
got too old.
266
00:10:30,955 --> 00:10:32,735
[laughs]
267
00:10:32,783 --> 00:10:35,083
Well, little brother,
do not break her heart.
268
00:10:35,133 --> 00:10:36,743
Or her hip.
269
00:10:36,787 --> 00:10:38,227
[clears throat]
270
00:10:38,267 --> 00:10:40,667
Marty, you know, I
need someone young
271
00:10:40,704 --> 00:10:42,534
to keep up
with me and...
272
00:10:42,575 --> 00:10:44,275
you look like you've
been working out.
273
00:10:46,362 --> 00:10:49,012
Well, you know, I have been
taking the stairs at work.
274
00:10:50,671 --> 00:10:52,411
[both shouting]
275
00:10:52,455 --> 00:10:54,025
CALVIN:
Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
276
00:10:54,065 --> 00:10:57,115
You want to run, go outside.
277
00:10:57,155 --> 00:10:59,635
And who left my door open?
278
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:02,560
I'm not trying to air condition
the whole neighborhood.
279
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:04,855
You don't have the A/C on.
280
00:11:04,902 --> 00:11:07,292
Well, they don't know that.
281
00:11:07,339 --> 00:11:09,429
Hey, little boy, come on,
get out of my chair.
282
00:11:09,472 --> 00:11:10,772
You don't have a job,
283
00:11:10,821 --> 00:11:12,471
you haven't earned
the right to recline.
284
00:11:14,912 --> 00:11:18,002
Fine. Mean Mr. Butler.
285
00:11:18,046 --> 00:11:20,096
W-What'd you call me?
286
00:11:20,135 --> 00:11:22,525
He called you Mean Mr. Butler,
you old bastard.
287
00:11:30,885 --> 00:11:32,755
Hey, guys, I really
need your help.
288
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,280
It's down to the wire and no one
has said a single nice thing
289
00:11:35,324 --> 00:11:36,624
about Mr. Benson.
290
00:11:36,673 --> 00:11:38,503
Do you have anything
I can work with?
291
00:11:38,544 --> 00:11:39,804
Well, there was
that one summer he hired us
292
00:11:39,850 --> 00:11:41,290
to plant a vegetable garden.
293
00:11:41,330 --> 00:11:43,950
Oh, right, we grew all those
beautiful tomato plants.
294
00:11:43,985 --> 00:11:46,375
That's exactly
what I'm looking for.
295
00:11:46,422 --> 00:11:47,902
Yeah, then he pelted us
with them
296
00:11:47,945 --> 00:11:51,075
when we rode our bikes
on the sidewalk.
297
00:11:51,122 --> 00:11:52,382
Okay, well, uh,
298
00:11:52,428 --> 00:11:53,998
so far, that's the one to beat.
299
00:11:56,998 --> 00:12:00,828
Hey, I just got called
Mean Mr. Butler.
300
00:12:00,871 --> 00:12:01,871
What? By who?
301
00:12:01,916 --> 00:12:03,916
That little punk,
Apple Head Fred.
302
00:12:03,961 --> 00:12:05,351
Oh.
Oh.
303
00:12:05,397 --> 00:12:07,357
What is he talking about?
I'm not mean.
304
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:10,969
Well, Dad, just last week,
you called the city
305
00:12:11,012 --> 00:12:12,792
on Kayla Watkins's
lemonade stand
306
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,580
because she didn't have
a "permit."
307
00:12:14,624 --> 00:12:16,584
I was looking out
for the neighborhood.
308
00:12:16,626 --> 00:12:19,756
That little hustler was cutting
the sugar with Sweet'N Low.
309
00:12:21,196 --> 00:12:24,286
Yeah, you're a real pillar
of the community, Pop.
310
00:12:24,329 --> 00:12:25,809
That's what I keep saying.
311
00:12:25,853 --> 00:12:28,333
Look, everybody around
here loves me.
312
00:12:28,377 --> 00:12:30,207
Especially the kids.
You know what?
313
00:12:30,248 --> 00:12:31,378
I'll prove it.Oh, no, no.
No.
314
00:12:31,423 --> 00:12:32,513
No, no, no.No, don't. No.
315
00:12:32,555 --> 00:12:34,515
No...
316
00:12:34,557 --> 00:12:36,997
Hey, little rascals.
317
00:12:37,038 --> 00:12:39,218
Who wants cake?
318
00:12:41,259 --> 00:12:42,829
M-Mom...
319
00:12:44,654 --> 00:12:46,654
Berlene, you better toughen
that little boy up,
320
00:12:46,699 --> 00:12:48,269
'cause he's gonna get
beat up in high school.
321
00:12:50,225 --> 00:12:53,355
So has Grover figured out
the afterlife for himself yet?
322
00:12:53,402 --> 00:12:55,142
Yep,
323
00:12:55,186 --> 00:12:58,446
and he wants to come back as
the world's most disgusting bug.
324
00:12:58,494 --> 00:13:00,404
[laughs]
325
00:13:00,452 --> 00:13:02,232
You must be proud.
326
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,030
You know what? I am.
327
00:13:04,065 --> 00:13:06,545
He's a smart kid.
He'll figure it out.
328
00:13:06,589 --> 00:13:09,069
Can I ask you a question?
329
00:13:09,113 --> 00:13:10,243
Sure.
330
00:13:10,288 --> 00:13:11,418
Do you believe in heaven?
331
00:13:11,463 --> 00:13:13,333
Yeah, I do.
332
00:13:13,378 --> 00:13:17,558
But I mean, how can any of us
be sure what it's really like?
333
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,560
It's called faith, Gemma.
334
00:13:19,602 --> 00:13:22,032
It's like driving around
with an expired license.
335
00:13:22,083 --> 00:13:24,693
You got to trust and believe
that you won't get caught.
336
00:13:26,087 --> 00:13:28,747
And so far, I haven't.
That's Jesus.
337
00:13:28,785 --> 00:13:32,265
[laughs] Well, I guess the good
thing is we all get to paint
338
00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:34,270
our own picture of
what heaven is.
339
00:13:34,312 --> 00:13:36,312
Well, all I know is,
in my heaven,
340
00:13:36,358 --> 00:13:38,318
everybody that I love is there.
341
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,890
Ooh, and they're waiting for me
at a Prince concert.
342
00:13:40,928 --> 00:13:42,368
[both laugh]
343
00:13:42,407 --> 00:13:44,887
In my heaven, it's
the Backstreet Boys.
344
00:13:44,932 --> 00:13:47,102
Ooh, and I can eat
all the cheesecake I want
345
00:13:47,151 --> 00:13:49,151
and never gain a single pound.
346
00:13:49,197 --> 00:13:52,897
Well, Gemma Johnson,
I hope to see you in my heaven.
347
00:13:52,940 --> 00:13:54,680
Aw, I hope I see you in mine.
348
00:13:54,724 --> 00:13:56,684
And if you go first,
will you save me a seat
349
00:13:56,726 --> 00:13:59,296
at your Prince concert?Oh, most definitely.
350
00:13:59,337 --> 00:14:01,997
And if I go first, I'll save you
a spot at the Backstreet Boys.
351
00:14:03,037 --> 00:14:04,387
I'm good.
352
00:14:04,429 --> 00:14:06,569
[chuckles]
353
00:14:06,605 --> 00:14:08,565
Hey, Kayla.
354
00:14:08,607 --> 00:14:11,087
Nice seeing you...Don't even.
355
00:14:11,132 --> 00:14:13,302
You shut down
my lemonade stand.
356
00:14:15,614 --> 00:14:17,054
Snitch.
357
00:14:19,531 --> 00:14:21,011
Well, it's people like you
that make it hard
358
00:14:21,055 --> 00:14:23,315
to support black businesses.
359
00:14:25,929 --> 00:14:28,499
Well, okay, to answer
your question, Grover,
360
00:14:28,540 --> 00:14:31,240
as scientists, we learn about
the law of conservation,
361
00:14:31,282 --> 00:14:33,102
which states that
energy can neither be
362
00:14:33,154 --> 00:14:34,804
created nor destroyed.
363
00:14:34,851 --> 00:14:37,201
But if my mama asks, it's what?
364
00:14:37,245 --> 00:14:39,205
All Jesus all the time.
365
00:14:39,247 --> 00:14:41,207
Yeah.
366
00:14:41,249 --> 00:14:43,039
What do you think, Malcolm?
367
00:14:43,077 --> 00:14:44,817
Well, there's actually
this great book...
368
00:14:44,861 --> 00:14:46,341
I'm out.Yeah, me, too.
369
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,130
So, so, what I'm saying is
370
00:14:51,172 --> 00:14:55,042
that Mean Mr. Benson might
just be the most repulsive,
371
00:14:55,089 --> 00:14:58,919
vile, despicable human
I've ever come across.
372
00:14:58,962 --> 00:15:02,612
And I hope he rots in hell.
373
00:15:02,661 --> 00:15:05,621
Okay. Well...
374
00:15:05,664 --> 00:15:07,974
Thanks, Reverend.
375
00:15:08,015 --> 00:15:09,795
CALVIN:
Hey, Dave.
376
00:15:09,842 --> 00:15:12,802
Thank God, man, look,
377
00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:14,585
I need to hear this.
Please tell me,
378
00:15:14,630 --> 00:15:16,770
there's something good
in everyone, right?
379
00:15:16,806 --> 00:15:19,376
I wish I could, but it's a lie.
380
00:15:19,417 --> 00:15:22,027
It is a damn, dirty lie.
381
00:15:22,072 --> 00:15:25,112
No, no. Come on,
that's not true.
382
00:15:25,162 --> 00:15:27,382
It-- no, some people
will only be remembered
383
00:15:27,425 --> 00:15:30,165
for yelling at children
and bossing people around
384
00:15:30,211 --> 00:15:34,171
and spewing negativity
up and down the streets.
385
00:15:34,215 --> 00:15:36,525
Well, when you say it like that,
it sounds bad.
386
00:15:36,565 --> 00:15:40,005
Dave, if you're gonna say
something, say it now.
387
00:15:40,047 --> 00:15:42,707
These vultures got me down
to one day of leftovers.
388
00:15:44,616 --> 00:15:46,356
You know what, Tina?
389
00:15:46,401 --> 00:15:47,871
I don't think I'm going to,
390
00:15:47,924 --> 00:15:49,354
because for the first
time in my life,
391
00:15:49,404 --> 00:15:51,054
I don't have
anything good to say.
392
00:15:51,101 --> 00:15:53,271
No, Dave, do not talk like that.
393
00:15:53,321 --> 00:15:55,191
Come on, man.
394
00:15:55,236 --> 00:15:57,196
It's like I tell everyone,
395
00:15:57,238 --> 00:15:59,028
if you look hard enough,
396
00:15:59,066 --> 00:16:01,286
you can find the good
in everybody.
397
00:16:01,329 --> 00:16:05,989
Dad, you have
100% never said that.
398
00:16:07,552 --> 00:16:09,332
Uh, but you have said,
399
00:16:09,380 --> 00:16:11,390
"I wish The Purge
was a real thing."
Yes.
400
00:16:12,905 --> 00:16:15,085
Well, obviously,
you just don't know me.
401
00:16:15,125 --> 00:16:17,385
Just like you didn't know
Mr. Benson.
402
00:16:17,432 --> 00:16:19,252
Yo, can I have
everyone's attention?
403
00:16:19,303 --> 00:16:23,043
Come on. Everybody just gather
around here. Come on, now.
404
00:16:23,090 --> 00:16:26,450
We are here to celebrate
the life of a great man.
405
00:16:26,484 --> 00:16:30,314
Oh, wait. Someone else die?
406
00:16:30,358 --> 00:16:33,278
No. I'm talking
about Mr. Benson,
407
00:16:33,317 --> 00:16:37,537
who some of you refer to
as "Mean Mr. Benson."
408
00:16:37,582 --> 00:16:40,062
Shame on you.
409
00:16:40,107 --> 00:16:45,417
Because more than anything,
Mr. Benson was misunderstood.
410
00:16:45,460 --> 00:16:47,030
Yeah, now,
411
00:16:47,070 --> 00:16:50,600
I know a lot of you know him
as the mean old grouch
412
00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:54,559
who stole your toys or insulted
your Halloween costumes
413
00:16:54,599 --> 00:16:58,349
or yelled at you
about cutting your grass.
414
00:16:58,386 --> 00:17:01,826
Uh, yeah, because he did
all those things.
415
00:17:01,867 --> 00:17:03,347
Yes, he did.
416
00:17:03,391 --> 00:17:05,261
But what you don't know
417
00:17:05,306 --> 00:17:07,786
is the reason why
he did those things
418
00:17:07,830 --> 00:17:10,400
is because he cared
about this neighborhood.
419
00:17:12,748 --> 00:17:18,278
Maybe he kept the toys
that went into his yard
420
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,539
to teach you the value
of your belongings.
421
00:17:24,151 --> 00:17:27,451
And maybe he yelled at you
422
00:17:27,502 --> 00:17:31,892
about mowing your lawn so you
could take pride in your homes.
423
00:17:33,551 --> 00:17:38,591
And just maybe he shut down
a lemonade stand
424
00:17:38,643 --> 00:17:41,343
to teach a young entrepreneur
that some people
425
00:17:41,385 --> 00:17:44,345
know the difference between
taste of sugar and Sweet'N Low.
426
00:17:47,174 --> 00:17:49,304
Hey, yo, do you think Dad
is talking about Mr. Benson
427
00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:51,750
or himself?
I think both.
428
00:17:51,787 --> 00:17:53,747
He may have eaten one too
many dumpster bagels.
429
00:17:53,789 --> 00:17:55,659
Yeah.
430
00:17:55,704 --> 00:17:58,094
So basically...
431
00:18:01,579 --> 00:18:03,539
...what I'm saying
is that before
432
00:18:03,581 --> 00:18:07,361
you call someone mean,
433
00:18:07,411 --> 00:18:12,411
ask yourself is the more
appropriate word
434
00:18:12,460 --> 00:18:14,680
"hero"?
435
00:18:20,207 --> 00:18:23,777
He did it.
He found the rhubarb pie.
436
00:18:31,392 --> 00:18:35,262
Dave, black people
don't slow clap.
437
00:18:45,145 --> 00:18:47,495
Hey, what are you doing
out here, little man?
438
00:18:47,538 --> 00:18:50,978
Not much. Just thinking
about life and death.
439
00:18:53,370 --> 00:18:56,380
And how much cake I can eat
before my parents catch me.
440
00:18:59,768 --> 00:19:02,078
You know,
441
00:19:02,118 --> 00:19:03,428
you're the only little kid
around here
442
00:19:03,467 --> 00:19:04,947
that doesn't run away from me.
443
00:19:04,990 --> 00:19:06,780
Why would I run away?
444
00:19:06,818 --> 00:19:08,738
I don't know.
445
00:19:08,777 --> 00:19:11,647
Maybe because I'm
Mean Mr. Butler.
446
00:19:11,693 --> 00:19:13,783
I don't think you're mean.
447
00:19:13,825 --> 00:19:17,005
You just always
think you're right.
448
00:19:17,046 --> 00:19:20,916
Mm, for the record,
that's because I am.
449
00:19:22,356 --> 00:19:24,316
Can I ask you a question?
450
00:19:24,358 --> 00:19:26,058
Yeah, shoot.
451
00:19:26,098 --> 00:19:28,318
Where do people go
when they die?
452
00:19:28,362 --> 00:19:31,142
I've asked everyone, and
they all say different stuff.
453
00:19:31,191 --> 00:19:33,361
Hmm. You know,
454
00:19:33,410 --> 00:19:36,240
I've been thinking about that
a lot today, Grover.
455
00:19:36,283 --> 00:19:39,063
You know what I've decided?What?
456
00:19:39,111 --> 00:19:41,671
That maybe we shouldn't
worry so much about
457
00:19:41,723 --> 00:19:43,463
where we go after we die,
458
00:19:43,507 --> 00:19:46,077
as long as we're good to each
other when we're here.
459
00:19:48,643 --> 00:19:50,123
Want a piece of my cake?
460
00:19:50,166 --> 00:19:51,386
[chuckles]
Thanks, buddy,
461
00:19:51,428 --> 00:19:54,648
but I'm kind of
filled up on bagels.

Go Marching In"]

Ooh! Ooh, the band's here!Oh.
464
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:04,620
You got a band?
465
00:20:04,659 --> 00:20:05,969
Yes. Mr. Benson was
from New Orleans,
466
00:20:06,008 --> 00:20:09,058
so I thought we'd
send him out in style.
467
00:20:18,847 --> 00:20:22,897
Well, Calvin Butler, that was a
beautiful speech that you gave.
468
00:20:22,938 --> 00:20:25,028
Oh, thank you, baby.
469
00:20:25,070 --> 00:20:28,600
Well, I found that, uh, page
from the magazine in your chair.Oh...
470
00:20:28,639 --> 00:20:31,119
So how about we keep this
celebration going later
471
00:20:31,163 --> 00:20:33,123
with a number 12?
472
00:20:33,165 --> 00:20:34,815
What's a number 12?
473
00:20:34,863 --> 00:20:39,603
It's a number eight and
a number four at the same time.
474
00:20:39,650 --> 00:20:40,920
[laughs]
475
00:20:40,956 --> 00:20:43,046
Well, all right!
