Hi. I'm the Mayor,
and my door is always open for you!
Jefferton alive
My name is Tom Peters,
and I'm full of ideas.
Community spirit!
Hi. How are you?

Jefferton alive
Hello, this is the Mayor.
Welcome to the Jefferton Airport.
I'm pretty sure
you picked up your bags
in the Baggage Claim Carousel
A through F.
I sure hope
you have a pleasant stay here
in beautiful Jefferton.
Dad!
There you are, Dad.
Hello.
It's good to see you.
Let me just get in here.
That's enough.
- That's enough hugging.
- OK.
All right. Well
I got a busy day planned for us,
so, we better get a move on.
You know, I don't
I don't think I have that kind of time.
Let's see. Flight 5--
Yeah, 512.
Looks like
I only have 11 minutes.
I know how long
your layover is.
That's why I made this itinerary here.
If I could just
direct your attention to it.
As you can see here,
we're gonna try to fit in a lot.
But I think we have time.
Of course, the highlight here will be meeting Joy and the boys at Gulliver's.
Up here, I even factored in
us talking about the itinerary.
- So, it's pretty detailed.
- Yeah, OK. OK. But
if I don't make
my connecting flight
I'm gonna miss the Seafood Convention,
and I'd probably lose
just about every one of my sales on the Eastern Seaboard.
- If you're all right with that.
- Don't worry.
I've got my trusty stopwatch here,
and I'll just sync that up for us.
Andhere we go!
I'll put a little music on here.
- No music, please.
- Fair enough.
What is that smell?
- Are there fumes in here?
- Sorry about that, Pop.
You know, my car only holds three gallons of gas at a time
so, I like to keep
these spares back here just in case
you know, I run out of gas.
So, this is the Jefferton through pike that leads pretty much right into town.
Put a little music on here.
Shoot. Sorry.
Force of habit there.
Well, I've actually been working with the Mayor of Jefferton
on quite a few projects here and there.
Really. You're working with the Mayor?
- That'sinteresting.
- Yeah.
You know,
we're real close.
I've played a pretty, you know,
a pretty big part in revitalizing Jefferton.
We're kind of like
good old bosom buddies.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, you know,
heck of a day.
Hotter than I thought it would be.
Speak of my devil,
there he is!
Mayor! Having some scooter trouble?
Yes.
Who are you, please?
You know, it's me.
Tom Peters.
OK.
This is my dad,
Walt Pickle.
Well, hi! Hi there!
I'm Walt Pickle.
Awfully nice to see you.
Right, listen. I need you
to tow me into town immediately.
I have a pretty serious
scooter emergency.
Mayor, any other day would be fine, but
I'm spending some time with my dad here
and we're on a very strict schedule.
I'm sorry, kid.
I got some bad news.
Looks like
no one cares about us.
What am I supposed to do now?
These are the men in your life
These are all the men in your life
When you wind up in trouble,
there's no need to struggle
Just reach out,
they're here by your side
Careful with my girl there, sir.
Hard to get good help
around here nowadays, isn't it?
All right. We're all tied up back there.
Don't worry, Pop.
The Mayor's office is on the way to Gulliver's where Joy and the kids are.
No, no. We need to take my scooter to Scooterton's.
Oh, boy. Mayor, that's kind of on the other side of town.
Sorry, we're
You know, we're on a time budget here.
Fish.
Well, you may be smelling some work-related residue.
You see, I sell industrial coolers to fish markets.
Fish!
No. You know
leave my head alone.
Tom, why don't you take my scooter
to Scooterton's?
Ask for Bernard, and I'll take your father to lunch at Fishanelli's.
That would be great.
I don't think that's
the best idea right now.
I brought along some of my pamphlets
regarding our coolers
and I just would love
to go over them with you.
That's gonna put a ding in my itinerary but
Well, it is your layover.
Fishanelli's ♪
Start by picking your own fish.
Now, pick your dip.
Finally, pick your waiter.
It's that easy at
Fishanelli's ♪
OK, let me see. I'm gonna start with the Nelli's Fishy Combo.
Salt water dip, please.
And the man to my left will have the creamed cod.
Put that in a bread boat, please.
- Thank you, that's
- He'll take that with the brackish dip.
No, that's fine.
Really, I'm just gonna have a decaf.
You know, considering
I'm in the fish business
just the thought of it
can turn my stomach.
Well, then he'll just have a trout burgy.
Yeah.
Just a decaf, please.
This is nice.
About those pamphlets
let me turn you on
to our 5200 series.
You know, lots of mayors who have fish districts
really get a kick out of
the warrantee package we offer.
It's, you know,
it's really something.
Well, I'm pretty impressed,
but I do have one issue.
Yeah, OK.
Let's say I have a fish this size
and this is your fish cooler.
I'm just not sure how my fish would fit into something this size.
OK.
And let's say, just for the sake of argument
that this particular fish
wears a top hat.
You know
I think this was a bad idea.
Soif you have
my son's phone number
I really have to get back
to the airport right now.
You're a stinky fisherman,
stinky, stinky, fishy fisherman ♪
Happy Father's Day, Dad.
Birthday fisher
You're a stinky fisherman,
stinky, stinky fishy ♪
Shoot. Two minutes.
Rumble.
And that's how I became the Mayor again.
Pop. Sorry for the delay.
Scooterton's gave me a real runaround.
- Oh, no.
- Had to actually do a little bit of haggling.
But don't worry.
I adjusted our itinerary just a touch
and I think if we move, you know,
pretty much if I can find a
Just shut up and get me
to the airport right now!
Excuse me, sir. Where the heck am I gonna stow my leftovers?
Well, let's see. I guess
you could make some room back there.
All right. Let me see.
I guess I can move this over here and nudge this to the side.
And well, I guess this works.
All right. Well, let's get going.
Shoot.
Yeah,
Tom Peters' phone.
Hey, idiot!
Where theare you,
you stupid piece of crap?
I'm so sorry.
I have a very good explanation.
I have been waiting here
for two damn hours!
And I'm real mad!
The boys are going ape!
I'm sorry, honey. We had an emergency scooter situation and
Fish!
Listen, my pop is right next to me here.
Would you like to speak to him?
No, please. I really don't feel comfortable.
I don't want to talk to her.
Would you just say hi to her?
I'm not talking
to your dad after that
Excuse me, driver.
I'll need to use the men's room soon.
- OK.
- Hello?
I'll try and keep my eyes peeled.
Hello? Hello?
Tom, this thing is cutting in and out.
I think your headset is broken.
You just have to jiggle the base a bit here.
- Let me help.
- Will you please get off my lap?
Stop! You're digging into my groin.
It's OK, Pop. You just gotta jiggle it.
Oh, my God!
- Can we turn this music off?
- Watch the road, please.
Excuse me, gentlemen, a little update.
I think I have an emergency.
It's number two.
Shoot.
I ran out of gas again.
Mayor, could you hand me up one of those spare gas cans?
Go deeper. Just a little deeper, boys.
Come on. You can get in there.
- Mayor, there's nobody left in the car.
- No, it's these tin foil swans.
They're my doggie bags.
My Sweet Nellies.
Best case scenario here is that you're nottoo hurt.
You know,
I could go ahead and
- Get me on that plane.
- Pardon?
You will get me on that plane.
What? What do you mean?
The, you know, the plane in the sky?
Thatthat plane!
That is my connecting plane.
That is flight 512.
You have to get me on the plane now.
I don't know
how I could possibly do that.
I don't care
how you do it
just get me
on the damn plane!
Welcome aboard Flight 512
en route to Springerton.
We'll be arriving
at our destination very shortly.
Abso-lutely.
