Jefferton alive
This darn bounce house
is really busting my bank here.
Let's see what
this debt wheel can do.
Consolidate?
That's what it gave me last time.
What the heck is this?
- Gibbons, I'm working here.
- That sword is so awesome.
Pretty good bargain
for 800 bucks, don't you think?
Aren't you supposed to be looking for work?
Nah.
They only made 1,000 of these beauties
and it's signed by the Dojo where it was forged.
And, I'm pretty sure it comes with an emerald sheath.
- Fine, right.
- What was I going to say?
You do know
my birthday is next week, right?
Yes, I know,
it's my birthday too, remember?
You know,
surprise parties are great
because you have fun
in the beginning of the party
you know, when people
get to hide and yell "Surprise!"
and then, you have more fun,
like later
like when it's a normal party.
So it's like
two parties in one party.
Yeah, I know.
Surprise parties are cool.
Now listen, Gibbons,
I have to get back to work.
It'd be really cool
to have a surprise party.
Yeah, loud and clear,
Gibbons.
Tom Peters here.
Mayor's office.
Who's there, please?
- It's Tom Peters.
- Great, Tom, come on in.
OK, I just wanted to try to get to the head of the class here
drop off
my party grant application.
OK, let me see here.
Looks like we have
a Category C: small child.
Party Type: Surprise.
Great, I love those!
Accessories No.
Gibbons?
Gibbons!
Hold on, are you planning
a surprise party for Gibbons?
- Yeah, in so many
- No, no can do, buddy.
I've got my own surprise party
in the works for little Gibbs.
OK.
Tom, this is going to be the party of the year.
We've got
the Small Business leaders
the Entrepreneurial Society
City Council's going to be there
Let me see,
Chamber of Commerce
the Direct Marketing Committee.
This is one networking event you don't want to miss.
- I can't wait!
- What?
Let me check
if you're on the guest list first.
No Tom Peters here.
Let's see. It
It might have ended up going under my maiden name
Tom Pickle.
No Tom Pickles here.
- Sorry, Mr. Pickle.
- No, it's Tom Peters now.
- You can just call me Tom, though.
- Hilarious, Tom.
All right, I'll put you on standby,
but I'll have to run it by Gibbons first.
All right.
Gibbons was right.
She sure is a beaut.
How the heck am I going to afford that?
- Hey, Tom.
- What?
It's me, Tom Pickle.
- You.
- What are you doing here?
I heard we're not invited
to Gibbons' party.
It was sort of a bummer.
I was hoping to get some
of my business cards out there.
Tom, you have to show
Gibbons that you care about him.
The only way you're getting into that party is if you get Gibbons that sword.
But I can't afford that sword!
60% of my income's going to the darn bounce house!
Tom, look behind me.
Pennies?
You want me to steal?
It's not stealing.
You're just robbing Peter to pay Paul.
That's a heck of a point.
Go for it.
Who are you talking to?
Gibbons, what are you doing here?
Who, me?
The Mayor got me a job as a security guard.
- Isn't it so cute, Tom?
- Yeah, I guess.
So, Tom
I was gonna ask you something.
I can't wait to hear
what it's going to say.
Did you have a chance to check out
that sword I was telling you about?
Yeah, it's nice
Pricey.
Totally.
I bet it could slice
through anything.
What do you think, Mayor?
Probably anything.
When do you think you'll get it for me, Tom?
- Soon, Gibbons.
- That's good news.
Well, I gotta make my rounds.
I'll probably stop by the food court and get me a Mixed Greens Combo.
Thanks for the info.
Hold on a second.
There's something else.
What else was I going to tell you?
Oh yeah, yeah.
Check you later, Tom.
Tom, you just gotta get Gibbons that sword, it's all it talks about.
And it comes down to this ♪
Look at yourself
in the mirror ♪
You're stealing
from yourself ♪
And you try to stop ♪
But you find your heart was right down by your shoes
And you find yourself
with nothing else ♪
Nothing left to lose
And you look back
on the dreams you've had ♪
They've all gone
down the tubes ♪
And it comes down to this ♪
Look at yourself
in the mirror ♪
You're stealing
from yourself ♪
All right.
950 bucks, good to go.
Hey, Tom.
Can I see you in my office?
We have a little problem.
So
How'd your arm get so wet?
Well, funny story, actually.
I was
And where'd you get all that change from?
As you know,
I have a piggy bank
Tom, I was wondering
from your perspective,
like, where you're standing
when you look at me,
do you see an idiot?
Gibbons!
What are you talking about?
I've been watching you
steal from that fountain for days now
and I'm pretty disappointed in you.
Don't worry.
I won't turn you in,
but I want half.
- Gibbons, you don't understand.
- Half!
You know I have financial problems,
and it's for a friend!
Dag-gummit, Gibbons!
It's for you!
- Half!
- Gibbons, I steal from children!
Do you think
I'm proud of that?
- Half!
- Half?!
- Half!
- Half.
- Half!
- Fine!!
You're still getting me that sword, right?
Yeah.
Do you think you can get me into your surprise party now?
I'll see what I can do.
Honey, hold my calls.
I'm going to go check the mail.
Darn it, darn it!
"Celebrating your birth"
That's thoughtful.
"May you experience
the happiest of birthdays!"
"Carlson Realty".
Guess I gotta send them a thank you postcard now.
What do we have here?
- What the hell is it?
- It's something from Gulliver's!
It's probably just some coupons!
Hon, break out
my business cards!
We just got invited
to Gibbons' surprise party!
Hey, fellas!
Great party!
So cool.
Hey, everybody.
The Pickle's here.
Hi, Tom.
It's Tom Peters, not "Petres."
Mind the typo.
Tom Peters here. Yes
Here, take a business card.
The number on there's not current.
Good to meet you,
Tom Peters.
Help yourself
to one of my free business cards.
Hey, everyone.
Thanks for coming
to my surprise party.
I want to take this time to introduce you all
to my best friend, Tom Peters.
Well, Gibbons,
I got you your sword here.
Oh, really?
- Yep, right here.
- Great.
Now I have
two stupid swords.
Nice try, Tom.
Mine's the executive model.
So, you bought that with your own money?
- Gibbons, come on.
- No, seriously.
That's an expensive sword.
You must have worked
real hard for that.
- What are you doing to me?
- Isn't it true
that you stole for that sword?
- No, of course not!
- Great.
Some little girl
can't get her wish pony
because I needed
a second stupid sword.
Gibbons, I think this should be a private conversation.
What was I going to tell everybody?
Oh, yeah!
Check this out.
I steal from children!
- You framed me?!
- Sorry, buddy.
I would have gotten suspended
if I didn't turn you in.
Don't worry, buddy.
It's probably just a slap on the wrist.
- Hey, Tom.
- Hey.
- What are you up to?
- Me?
I'm on community service here
for about 6,000 consecutive hours.
Community service?
What for?
My stealing?
You know?
Tom, you shouldn't steal, buddy.
Well, I'll make a mental note of that for next time, but
I guess I'm killing two birds
with one stone here.
Highway litter is a little bit of a pet peeve of mine.
Let's go, Gibbs.
We got an appointment at the sword range.
Check you later, Tom.
Abso-lutely.
