Raising Hope s04e04 Episode Script

Hi-Def

Work gave us these stupid smartphones, and I don't know how to use it.
How can I help you? I told you, stop calling me.
You have the wrong number.
Leave my wife alone.
You'd like to leave your wife? Searching for divorce attorneys in your area.
That's not what I said, home wrecker! Guys, guys, guys, that's not a person.
It's an automated personal assistant.
When you figure out all the cool stuff that phone does, you're gonna love it.
Yeah, that's what our manager at work said.
And then she hit us with a ton of new corporate policies.
They want us to take pictures of the houses we clean.
Which means they don't trust us.
Which sucks 'cause now we have to really clean the houses.
Well, at least you got a cool new phone out of it.
I hate it.
It's too complicated.
I butt-dialed Burt three times on the way to work.
Your butt makes up for in appearance what it lacks in communication skills.
That's pretty impressive.
My butt has only two tricks.
One is, uh, disgusting, and the other is looking amazing in jeans.
Mmm.
Now that you have a new phone, you can follow me on WikiVids.
What's WikiVids? It's a site where I post videos of the eggs I make and my funny little comments about them.
I kind of interpret what they look like.
I call this one "Yolko Ono.
" See how the egg broke up the hash browns? - Oh, look at that.
- Now, that is art.
You should open up a museum where you bring these out to people, and then they get to eat it.
- Isn't that just a restaurant? - Everything's been done! You know, if you hate your phone so much, we could switch phones.
My flip phone takes lousy pictures, so you don't have to clean that good.
- Yeah, I guess we could do - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
He wants something from us.
We should get something in return.
You thinking "Pick-a-Pocket, Pick-a-Pocket, We Want Everything in Your Pockets"? It's a good day for it.
Jimmy's wearing cargo pants.
Ooh, can we make him jump? No, no, no, no, no, you know the rules.
One turn, one pocket, no touching, no whining.
I-I'm gonna go Right left - Right left - Right front! Oh, damn, we were getting that anyway.
What was in the other pockets? Keys! Wallet! Fruit pie! Oh, man, we could have had a fruit pie! Season 4, Episode 4 "Hi-Def" Synced by ibelouis & Reef I want another roll.
Sorry, Maw Maw, I didn't make enough for both of you to have two.
You're gonna have to split it with Hope.
You know, there's a lot of really great stuff in these new corporate policies.
- I mean, a week's paid vacation - Oh! No, thanks.
I ran a 5K once and almost puked.
Oh, hey, you get health care.
Actually, it says spouses are covered, too.
- You guys could finally go to the doctor.
- We're not sick.
You don't have to be sick to go to the doctor.
Why would you go to a doctor if you're not sick? Like, to say hello? - Hello, Doctor.
- Hello, Burt.
How are you? - Not sick.
- Wonderful.
Thanks for stopping by.
Fine.
Enjoy the carbs, fatso.
Guys, you have to get checkups.
Otherwise little things, they turn into big things.
It only takes one spark to burn down the whole forest.
The only doctor I go to is Dr.
Vajajay.
He's Indian.
That's his name.
He looks after my hoo-hah.
- Gross.
- I assure you, it is not.
Okay, this is LeBron James and the Giant Peach.
What are you doing? I'm gonna make videos of fruits and vegetables made to look like famous athletes.
I've got Wayne Grapesky, Pear Bryant.
Uh, I'm trying to think of a baseball player I could use for strawberries, but Nothing's coming to me.
Don't you think it's a little derivative? No, it's a big peach.
I mean it's not very original.
I do food.
You're just copying my idea.
So? It's just a silly video thing.
A silly video thing? I think the 28 people who follow "Sabrina's Yolk of the Day" might disagree with you.
Wait a minute.
Strawberry Bonds.
Oh, how dumb am I? - What's going on with your toe freckle? - I'm not sure.
- I'm worried it's getting bigger.
- Maybe your toe is getting smaller.
Well, that worries me, too.
Either one of those things could be the spark that starts the fire.
That's what Sabrina said about the doctor.
I've been thinking about that, too.
Listen.
I think my neck crack's getting worse.
Sounds like someone's making popcorn under my head.
Sometimes my ear just starts hurting.
Like, I'll just be standing somewhere, and then, suddenly, ow! - Did it just happen? - No, I was just dramatizing.
It only happens a couple times a week.
You know what else? Sometimes when I pee, it comes out in two different directions.
I'm dramatizing, too.
My after-breakfast eye twitch is now sometimes lasting all the way till lunch.
No matter how much coffee I drink to relax myself, it just doesn't stop! My jaw hurts like crazy when I go like this.
- Ooh, that looks painful.
- It is! I hate to say it, but maybe Sabrina was right.
We need to see a doctor.
Maybe she was right about other things.
Do you really think there's a country called Chad? Yeah, and everyone there carries a tennis racket and wears a sweater tied around their shoulders.
I'm starting to get worried.
I think I have everything.
Muscle weakness? Check.
Fatigue? Check.
Form of payment? Check.
- I know.
Do I get dizzy? - When you spin around a lot.
Damn it! Virginia Chance? Nice to meet you.
Gotcha! I love that one.
Do it to all my new patients.
My philosophy is, laughter is the best medicine.
Unless you have insurance.
In that case, medicine is the best medicine.
Okay.
Let's go look under your hood.
Stay strong.
Hey, guys, I don't usually post spill videos, but You don't see a crocodile with Abe Lincoln's head every day.
Guys? All right, well, that was an amusing diversion, but we should Oh, you know what? We can bleach the chicken tomorrow.
Let's watch it again.
You guys watching my daily "Yolk of the Day" video? No.
Jimmy posted this hilarious new WikiVid.
And you should probably get your cholesterol checked.
Let me see this.
This better not be food-related.
I was never a fan of the Three Stooges.
I found them sweaty and clumsy and not very entertaining.
To be clear, the Three Stooges is what I called Wilfrid's genitals.
Unless you are one, old people are funny.
Yeah.
I guess it's funny.
It's a little simple.
Simple? Yeah.
I mean, when you have as many as 27 followers, they want you to challenge them artistically and intellectually.
- Oh, I thought you had 28.
- I did.
I'm sorry, Sabrina, but between the nun that does the chicken dance, the cat that plays the piano and James' hysterical new videos, I don't have the time to stare at eggs until they look like Steve Buscemi.
All done.
Oh, you've gone blind.
- We should have come sooner.
- I'm not blind.
When they give you an eye exam, they delete your pupils.
But the good news is, the only thing wrong with me is my eyes.
- Nothing glasses can't fix.
- It's just a slight prescription.
It it'd be like going from standard definition to high-def.
And I'm sorry you have to make such a spectacle of yourself.
He's a lot more funny once you find out you're not dying.
You'll see.
Well, it took 87 years, but now, officially, my neck looks like my vagina.
Her neck does look like a vagina.
Where's Sabrina? She took her, uh, break a half hour ago.
No fair, all right? You said that my video was deflippititive, and now you're being defibrilitive.
I think the word you're looking for is derivative.
Whatever.
All right, if I can't film food, then you can't take advantage of my crazy great-grandmother to amuse strangers.
- That's my thing.
- Come on.
You and I should both be able to record whatever we want Sounds like someone with 27 followers talking.
Oh, 35.
I remember when I had 35 followers.
That was four followers ago.
Oh, yeah? Well, your phone is pink.
Yep.
Whatever, 35.
Well, everything checks out your eyes, your heart, blood pressure.
You're in great shape.
Well, that wasn't so bad.
I might think about getting a regular checkup every six or seven years.
Some of those tests were actually kind of fun.
Do that little hammer again.
Wow! That is wild! Does that work on other parts of the body, too? 'Cause I could really use that magic hammer in the bedroom.
Just, uh, one more thing.
Just turn around, bend over and - Promise you can keep a secret.
- All right.
And that feels like your finger in my doggy door.
Oh, it's just a routine test, Burt.
Well, if you're trying to get my knee to move again, it's twitching pretty good, so you can stop now.
Your prostate feels a little boggy.
And your finger feels a little biggy.
Oh! - How of how often do you have sex? - Like this? Never.
No, like, with your wife.
Sex can be good for your prostate.
I'll keep that in mind.
In the meantime, I want to do a colonoscopy just to make sure this isn't a sign of a larger problem.
Fine.
Can't be any worse than what we're doing now.
Well, we pass a fiber-optic camera through your anus, and we have a little look-see.
I stand corrected.
I can't believe it.
Everything's so clear.
The birds, the clouds I can even see that bus bench all the way across the street.
"50% off glasses at Glasses Land.
" That would've been nice to know an hour ago.
Come on, the doctor said I have to have more sex to un-bog my colon.
You got your prescription filled; now it's my turn.
He didn't actually write it down, but I'm thinking twice daily after meals.
Here we go.
I can't believe how clear everything is.
This is probably what Helen Keller felt like when she got her glasses.
This is the first test I'm actually excited to study for.
I wonder if this is how they came up with the term "cramming.
" We really need to paint out here.
- Virginia - I'm sorry.
This carpet is really stained.
Focus.
Oh.
Yeah Oh, that's a banana peel.
I thought it was my bracelet.
No.
I can't have sex in here, Burt.
- This house is disgusting.
- Take the glasses off.
Oh, good idea.
No, I can't do this.
I just keep imagining everything I'm not seeing.
Well, maybe you should start focusing on what you are seeing.
Oh, my God is that the face you make when you do your sexy dance? Ah, these glasses are ruining everything! Oh, hey, Dad.
How's it going? I got to drink a gallon of laxative in an hour.
On the plus side, I'm pretty sure that buffalo nickel I swallowed in third grade is finally gonna resurface.
Okay, well Time to go see if crazy Maw Maw can help me break 50 followers.
Hey, uh, Maw Maw, you, uh, got anything stuck in your craw today? No, I just cleaned my craw.
Keep talking.
Why does your bedroom smell like my mother's breath? I found some wine stains on the carpet, and I couldn't get them out, so I'm gonna make it look like one of those Jackson Polack paintings.
Sure, that's one way of doing it.
With these damn glasses, I notice every little imperfection around the house.
Hand me that green magic marker.
I saw a plant outside that needs a touch-up.
That sounds very sensible.
Virginia obsessively cleaning, take one.
That's a little better.
That could work.
Ready! Shut the door.
It looks like it's snowing in here There's so much dust floating in the air.
I'd say take the glasses off, but the whole Sarah Palin thing is really working for me.
Can you tell me about a moose you shot? - Ooh.
Someone's in the mood.
- No, that's my stomach.
I think the pre-colonoscopy beverage is doing something crazy to my Uh-oh.
Hot soup! It's like I ate a waterfall! Look at this.
First thing this morning, and I've already got three new followers.
Thank God you're here.
I need a ride to the hospital.
- I did not want to use this sign.
- Where's Virginia? Please tell me she's obsessively cleaning something.
- She's locked herself in our bedroom.
- Jackpot.
- Last chance, Virginia! - Just need another minute! I can't go out in public looking like this.
Hey, Virginia.
Open up! Saw some brown leaves outside that could use a fresh coat of paint.
Oh, dang.
Hey, I-I just want to stick my arm in.
Hey, Maw Maw.
Obama's a genius.
And go.
You're not filming me anymore.
I know what you're up to.
Yesterday, I was at Howdy's.
Maw Maw, tell me what happened next.
So I told Rosa Parks I couldn't move over because I had all these shopping bags.
Who knew she was gonna turn it into such a big to-do? Hey.
Hey, that crazy, wrinkled old bitty is stealing all my stories.
In my bathtub, wearing my shower cap! Wait a minute.
I know what's going on.
Somebo Oh, crap.
Lost it.
Tell me what's going on.
They told me everything.
I'm cutting you off.
Come on, Maw Maw.
I've got nothing else to film.
All right, Jimmy, let's go.
I don't want to miss my appointment and go through that prep again.
At the end there, I was pooping out cereals they haven't made since the '70s.
I do not like the idea of this one bit.
The smallest camera I've ever seen was on a watch, and that would still scrape going in.
Yeah, well, just think of it as a medical device, not as a camera.
It's just a little tube that's five feet long.
"In the unlikely event of death" Oh, my God.
Doc! This says I could die.
You didn't tell me that.
That's just the disclaimer for anyone going under general anesthetic.
Don't worry, Burt.
Only one out of every 10,000 people dies while they're under.
- How many of these have you done? - About 10,000.
Never had a problem.
Jimmy He's overdue for a death.
It's gonna be me.
I can feel it.
Get me the hell out of here.
I don't want to die with a camera up my poop chute.
Dad, it says "unlikely.
" "Unlikely"? Unlikely things happen all the time.
Michael Jordan grew a Hitler mustache.
That came out of nowhere.
Nowhere! Jimmy Chance has done it again.
It can't be that bad.
Ooh.
That's not good.
- Can I pop it? Just - No! Ever since I got these glasses, they've just made my life worse.
First, I saw how worn-out this house was, and then when I started cleaning the mirrors, I saw the house wasn't the only thing looking a little worn.
Well, not everyone can afford new clothes.
What's the matter with my clothes? - Oh.
Nothing.
- I was talking about my face.
I tried wearing more makeup and fixing my hair, but underneath all that, I still got these little lines and dark circles under my eyes.
- Virginia, you still look great.
- Yeah, I know.
But I don't look 25.
I could pass for 28, tops.
But these damn glasses make Burt look even better, and I just know that eventually he's gonna realize I'm not the hot piece of ass I was one or two months ago.
Don't some people say that it's what's on the inside that counts? Yeah.
Ugly people.
Burt and I used to make fun of people who said things like that.
Now he's gonna be making fun of me.
Pretty sure he's got other things on his mind.
I don't wanna die! It's every father's dream to outlive his son.
We all lie and say it's the opposite, but it's time you knew the truth, Jimmy! - No! - I'm coming, Burt! No! No! - Burt! - Whoa! Not the best time to startle me.
- How'd you get in here? - Same as you.
Through the back door.
That's a good one.
Write that down, nurse.
- What the hell is that? - That's your husband's colon.
At that moment, my mom saw the most disgusting part of my dad.
But it didn't change how she felt about him.
And even though she almost lost her lunch, she gained some perspective on her relationship with my dad.
If she could still love him after seeing how gross he was on the inside, then, of course, he would love her no matter what she thought about her outsides.
Well, that's one in a row for you, Wild Bill.
Hey.
I'm alive.
Yeah, and they said everything looks great.
Well, actually, it looks disgusting, but that's how it's supposed to look, so you're gonna be fine.
Wow, that is some zit.
No, it's cute.
Look like you did back in high school.
I don't know about the glasses, though.
Every time I come in to kiss you, I see my own reflection, and let's face it, I'm not as young as I used to be.
I'll get contacts.
They're having a 50% off sale at Glasses Land.
Hey, Burt.
Think this belongs to you.
Hey! My buffalo nickel.
Thanks, Aquaman.
I think he's still feeling the anesthesia.
Hey, what are you doing? I thought we agreed not to put Hope in any videos that we post.
Oh, no, Jimmy, I'm not gonna post this.
I-I'm done with that.
It's dumb to compete over these silly little videos.
And, look, we already inadvertently compete over Hope's affection and whose hair looks better, who finishes first in the bedroom.
- Undefeated.
- Yes, you are.
Hey, you, come here.
- Has Jimmy posted anything? - No.
- What about Sabrina? - No.
- What do we do now? - I guess we could live our lives.
What lives? Oh, look.
