KEEF: Hey, yo. Check this out.
‐ When'd you draw that? CLOVIS: Let me see that.
KEEF: I didn't. ‐ Nah, we looking at it.
So they did a new Toast‐N‐Butter,
and somebody else drew it?
‐ Yes. Exactly.
I thought I had 60 days to pay the advance back.
You know, I figured they would just, you know,
put 'em away in a vault, and then when‐‐
that magical moment when I had some money,
I would get 'em back.
‐ So never?
‐ You're the least helpful person I've ever met.
‐ What? I told you I'd sign a contract.
‐ Uh, no, no, no, no.
I do believe your words were: "♪ We getting that money ♪
♪ We getting that money, nigga ♪"
‐ With, like, the finger guns and all that?
‐ Very little finger guns, yes.
‐ Oh, yeah, that sound like me.
‐ Gosh, black people are the worst at
holding onto their shit.
‐ Hmm?
‐ Am I allowed to say that?
CLOVIS: Mm, yeah. ‐ Yeah, sure. Who cares?
‐ Whatever, man. So what'd you do
with the advance, bro?
I mean, you got no clothes and you got no car
and your bed ain't shit.
‐ Uh, can we not bring my sidewalk sofa bed into this?
And, look, I didn't spend my money on frivolous things.
I used it to pay back student loans.
‐ But education's supposed to make you smart, not broke.
[Gunther scoffs] KEEF: Remember that time where
I said that you're the least helpful person
I've ever met? CLOVIS: Mm‐hmm.

I contacted Lawyers for the Arts.
Yeah, they hooked me up with a guy in Noe Valley.
He's gonna squeeze me in. ‐ Noe Valley?

KEEF: Okay, if you're coming, I'm gonna have

‐ Udders and Teats.
‐ Just 'cause you repeated it doesn't mean
I know what the fuck you're saying.
‐ Udders and Teats, the ice cream shop.
Yeah, I hear they have a secret stash
of breast milk ice cream.
Oh, I gotta try it.
‐ Oh, shit, I'm down. Let's do this.
‐ Wait, you, Clovatius Jackson,
you're gonna eat breast milk ice cream?

CLOVIS: So? ‐ What, is the last time
you had breast milk when you were a baby?
[Gunther laughs] BOTH: What?
‐ What? My...
I mean, that's when I had it as well.
It's just I had a really strong infant memory,

You are officially obsessed. ‐ Shut up.
I'm not obsessed. I'm just‐‐I don't get it.
Okay? It doesn't make sense.
It's not funny.
And it lacks the spirit of the original.
And even if it did, this is just nonsense and hijinks, you know.

Yeah, he escaped.

Yeah, and we might get to see him.
Keep a lookout. ‐ Okay, that would be cool,
but I'm a little worried about the guy.
‐ You mean to tell me all this traffic
is because of a bear?
‐ Not just any bear, a koala.
‐ Still a bear, though‐‐ koala bear.
So... ‐ No, it's a marsupial, actually.
‐ Oh, no. What was I thinking?
‐ They say he's very smart.
MAN: Yeah. ‐ He is. He is.
MAN: No, he can do sign language
with his little paws.
‐ Yeah, he can paint. KEEF: Really?
GUNTHER: Yeah. KEEF: Yeah, I'm sure that's
not even a little bit true.
‐ You didn't even know about him
until, like, three minutes ago.
‐ Yeah, but I know he can't do
sign language. I'm just saying.
CLOVIS: Yeah, Keef.
Why you hating on Kubby like that, bro?
‐ You're hurting his feelings.
‐ The mayor's office is posting live updates.
KEEF: Are you serious? MAN: Yeah.
‐ They got nothing better to do?
‐ There's nothing better or more important than this.
‐ Oh, no, I can look out the window and point to
two or three things they could be doing.
‐ See, look, look. These are all the Kubby sightings.
KEEF: These are the Kubby sightings?
‐ Yeah, yeah. ‐ Oh, my God.
So right now, Kubby is in, uh, Bernal Heights,
also in, um, Outer Sunset,
but Kubby's also at the Mission.
Man, that's exciting and also impossible.

MAN: Hey.
How‐‐how far would you run for freedom?
CLOVIS: Yeah, Keef. How far, bro?
‐ Look, guys.
It's not that I don't care about the bear.
I just don't have time to care about the bear, okay?
I got places to be. ‐ Kubby's just not any bear.
‐ You know what? You're absolutely right.
You know, I heard that Kubby can code.
‐ Really? ‐ Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
I wasn't gonna say anything, but you're right.
He's not just any bear.
Legend has it Bill Gates tried to hire him
for an entry‐level position, but the zoo said, "No.
"That's too inhumane.
He should be locked in a cage, not an office."
SKATE KID: Did you hear that? Kubby can code.
