Yes, sir.
How can I help you?
- It's Tom Peters.
- Hello, Tom. Come on in.
That's OK. I'm just
dropping by to say good-bye.
- OK.
- You know
me and the family are moving
out of Jefferton today.
Right.
I just don't think this is
the right town for an entrepreneur.
Things just didn't work out.
I want to thank you for all the wonderful
experiences we had together.
Tom, what great memories!
Me, me me ♪
- Yes, sir. How can I help you?
- It's Tom Peters.
Tom, I'll miss you.
Wait a second!
I think I may have a job for you.
- Really?
- Vice Mayor!
Vice Mayor?! Like, the second in command?
Vice Mayor
Mayor, you are not
gonna regret this!
I'll tell you what. I'll pick you up tomorrow
and take you to your new office.
Joy, it's Tom Peters.
Listen
I just got appointed Vice Mayor of Jefferton, so don't sign any leases yet.
Call me back
when you get this, OK?
I love you very much
and I love the boys, too.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm looking for a Tom Peters.
That's me.
I'm Tom Peters.
I'm sorry,
I'm a little confused here.
It must be
my gentleman's perm.
I was thinking about getting a new hairstyle
and considering
the factor of me getting into politics
Now, I'd prefer a rather tight curl
you know, more of a dense knit.
You know what I mean?
Well, Tom,
it looks magnificent.
Oh, gracias.
This is Hobotown.
It's vice central.
Real dangerous, Tom.
Lots of hobos. Vice!
Get it? Vice Mayor.
Double meaning.
I see, I guess.
We try to give these hobos everything they want here.
You know,
we have train cars, boxes
and hot dogs.
Tom, you just have to keep them in line.
It's just that easy.
Good luck!
What a dump!
I gotta clean this place up.
Now that's better.
And now for the rest of the town.
Crickets!
You darn hoodlums!
It's Mayor's Night ♪
And the world
rim, dim, dim, do ♪
- Tom! Welcome to Mayor's Night!
- Thanks for inviting me.
Grab a booth, you Mayor.
Now, this is the life.
Excuse me, sir.
These cheese-flavored fries are from that man over there.
Thank you very much.
Lord, these are delicious.
I knew you'd enjoy those.
Garry Friendly.
I'm in real estate.
I'm Tom Peters,
Vice Mayor ofHoboton.
Damn it, Tom, I knew it!
It used to be called Hobotown,
you know?
One of the aspects of my
new administration is changing the name.
I thought I'd give it a new feel,
sort of take out the negative.
Damn it, Tom!
Pardon?
I saw you from across
the room and said to myself
"Here's a man with good taste
"a guy who knows
right from wrong.
"Probably a born leader."
Thank you very much.
Another round of fries
for my new best friend here!
I want to show you something.
Maybe it means something,
maybe it means nothing.
Take a look-a-lou.
Revitalize your town!
Get ready for the city of tomorrow.
Revitalize your town!
Out with the old,
in with the new.
Revitalize your town!
I shouldn't be showing you this.
Tom, this thing is a cash cow.
It's guaranteed to improve Hoboton 500%.
I'm not sure about that, Garry.
Don't worry, Tom. It's just some minor cosmetic work.
Move a couple of buildings to make room for the new.
- You won't even know we're there.
- These fries are so good.
It sounds good,
but can I sleep on it?
Buddy, that's not the Tom Peters
I've grown to love.
The Tom Peters I know is a man that can take a chance.
Tom Peters is a risk-taker
a man in charge.
Yeah, I guess.
Can I have your attention, please?
Right here stands a true visionary,
a leader, a shepherd
guiding his lost sheep
to a 21st-century paradise.
Tom, repeat after me.
I am a Mayor
that will make a difference,
and do what's right for my town.
Don't worry, just sign here,
and we'll start Phase One in the morning.
What was Phase One again?
You have a nice signature.
I'm sorry, I'm not feeling very well.
I think I ate too many of these fries.
And here. That does it.
And now to wrap this up,
I'll just What do I need?
A check for the entire project.
Can't figure out if this is
the right thing to do.
That's Garry with two Rs.
You know, tax purposes.
Don't worry, buddy.
Leave everything to Uncle Poppa Garry.
Come on, Garry, pick up.
They smashed up
my home, boss.
They hauled off
my cardboard box!
People, quiet down!
Just let's get some order!
Come on,
I'm doing my best here.
- I'm trying to make this a nicer place.
- Who is it?
Hold on, it's him.
Garry, it's Tom Peters.
Thank goodness.
I've been trying to reach you all day.
Listen, I've been having some second thoughts.
Peters, Peters, Peters.
That's not ringing a bell.
Tom Peters from last night!
It's a war zone over here
Tom, relax, relax!
Excuse me. What's that, Grace?
I said first class!
First class, Grace!
I really need
to jump off this call.
Take down the number for my private jet,
you can reach me there any time.
What is that?
5 550-132.
Bye for now, Tom!
Shoes.
Where are we supposed to live?!
Let me think.
Well, for now, I guess everybody can bunk at my place.
I can get some cots set up and
cook up some hot dogs.
- Hot dogs?!
- All right! Hot dogs!
Sounds good, boss!
There's hot dogs in the cooler,
where the fridge should be, so stay put.
And try not to fiddle with anything.
I gotta tell
the Mayor about this.
Hey, it's me,
Wizard from Kandlekrush.
Grab a dog
It's got what a hobo needs ♪
You're only minutes away from checking out my new hit single.
Premiering tonight
on Ted Goes To The Mayor.
Peace.
And that's how
I became Mayor again.
But enough about me, Tom.
How's Hobotown coming?
Good! Me, too. Thanks.
I'm sorry,
I mean, things are good.
Hoboton's good.
No worries there.
Great, I'd love
to come by your office some--
No, no, no.
I'm very busy. I've got lots to do.
I've got some advice
I'd love to ask you
in regards to the whole real estate arena.
Excuse me, sir.
This
man insisted on seeing you.
- 'Scuse me, boss.
- What are you doing here?
Well, we ran out of hot dogs.
- How'd you get out?
- Bunch of us picked the lock.
Well, everyone got out.
We're all pretty much running amok.
Stink wave!
That's right, Jan.
A growing number of filthy hobos have taken to the Jefferton streets.
And it's causing quite a mess.
I saw one the other day.
They're so dirty.
I don't understand
why they just can't take a bath.
I'll be right back.
Let's look at our
Doppler Hobo-Watch here
which shows a lot
of the increased hobo activity
emanating from this one man's house.
OK, Mr. Peters,
do you want to go ahead
and explain
what happened here exactly?
Does this have anything to do
with your Vice Mayor position
over at Hobotown?
Well, I think
I may be partly to blame
for the "bum rush",
metaphorically speaking.
See, wellthe thing is,
I actually tore Hoboton down.
Hoboton?
Hobotown. You're right.
I changed the name
for psychological factors.
Mr. Peters, don't you realize that the reason we have Hobotown
is to keep these people
out of Jefferton.
We need Hobotown!
I understand that now.
I assumed Phase One was going to occur a little differently.
- Garry Friendly had said
- No! One got in!
Their smell
is getting up my nose!
No, settle down, people.
- It's just me, your Mayor.
- Mayor!
Listen, I've infiltrated those filthy hobos.
I've been deep undercover
for the past 15 minutes
and I think I've found
their weakness.
You don't need
to talk about love ♪
Standing there with your fingerless glove ♪
With a bib and a hobo hat ♪
All you need is a warm bun,
what do you think about that?
Grab a dog
It's got what a hobo needs ♪
Grab a dog
I don't get it.
How does this solve anything?
- You'll see.
- No, what?
- Seriously, I don't get it.
- Well
I poisoned the hot dogs.
You can't do that! You can't just kill people to solve problems.
Crickets!
I ate three of those hot dogs.
- My life is flashing before my eyes.
- Hey, Rufus!
I see Joy,
and my first wife Pat
- Hey, Bobo.
-and her husband Cal.
Tom, relax.
It's not gonna kill them.
Just gonna put them
to sleep for a while.
Wait a minute! Time out!
What happens when they
when we all wake up?
I have two words for you:
Hobo Zoo.
Welcome to Hobo Zoo ♪
We've got hot dogs
and trash fires ♪
You can feed them
if you choose ♪
Welcome to Hobo, Hobo Zoo
Was that OK?
I couldmaybe do
a take two on that.
Fair enough.
