It's nice your dad's trusting usto handle shipment day alone.
My dad's trying to finda new business venture,
so gonna be moreresponsibility coming our way.
A promotion, a parking spot,
control over the bathroom code --
69-69.
Both: Yeahhh.
Your uncle's birthday --June 9, 1969.
Ooh, shipment day!
What bounty has Lady Cattleman'sbeen blessed with?
What are all these? Walnuts?
Brazil nuts?
Deez nuts?
Delivery man: They're chestnuts.
And how would you know what a chestnut looks like?
Because I am one.
Matthew Chestnut.
Eddie, who the "H" is this guy?
He used to be Dad'sright-hand man until he bailed
to go manage somerestaurant vendors at Dollywood.
Dollywood? There should be a Rebawood.
Louis, I made a mistake when I left.
You're gol-dang rightyou did.
I know how bad it must've hurt.
It hurt me, too.
But I want to come back... if you'll let me.
Matthew,after that selfish, foul,
disrespectful move you pulled,
there's no way I can even thinkof taking you back.
...until we catch upover some cold ones, partner.
Oh, man!
Ah!
Ah.Best shipment day ever!
Oh, uh, speaking of, I had to move
some crates of onions to the parking lot
to do my clever nut bit.
Oh. You heard your new manager, boys.
Go get those onions outta the sun.
Yeah. Wouldn't want them to turn into sun-ions.
Oh, God,it's good to have you back.
Great to be back.
Goodbye, promotion.

Well, Chestnut's back, and it sucks.
Please sit down.
I would love to hear about your problems.
Wait. What's happening?
I'm LIEing. Nice.
Hey, everyone, I have a funny mom.
No. It's a technique from my Teacher Administration book.
Listen, Identify, Encourage -- LIE.
I'm not surehow any of that's gonna help
with Chestnut coming back to Cattleman's.
Listening -- you have a problem.
He's back one dayand already bossing us around.
Identifying -- you're upset.
And he's makingall these new rules,
like "Delivery personnel cannoteat ketchup or mayo packets."
How am I supposed to makeThousand Island in my mouth?
Encouraging --
Chestnut's not a problem. Suck it up.
Well, Chestnut's back,and it's awesome.
I always liked his wife -- skinny, angry, thrifty.
He divorced her.Of course he did.
One woman's trash,another man's treasure.
With him running the show, I can finally focus
on finding the next chapterof my life.
Now, I know I've trieda lot of stuff,
and this is going toseem silly,
but I think I've foundmy next thing --
gardening.
Oh, I think that's a great idea.
Really?
I thought you were going to say "Oh, hell no,"
or "A gardeneris a hobo wearing gloves,"
or "Cucumbersattract pedophiles."
I am fun, but no, I'm actually glad
you found something to be passionate about,
and I want to support you.
Wait. Is this another oneof your schoolbook techniques?
Are you LIEing again? No.
I just know how much you've struggled
to commit to your next big thing.
If you want to garden, then garden.
I 100% support whatever you choose to do,
as long as you 100% support yourself.
Wow. I really appreciateyou having my back on this.
But if you're gonna do it, do it the Louis way.
I have a way?
I didn't know I had a way.
Well, you like helping people.
So instead of vegetables in the backyard,
maybe you start a community garden.
That's actually... a great idea.
One small request.
No cucumbers?
Pedophile candy.
Can you believe that women's pants
don't havelength measurements?
What are they,all the same height?
Sexism!
Uh-huh.
And why are you readingthis book about V-word speeches?
So I can identify with women
to be more believablein the school play
as Lady Macbeth.
You got a problem with that, Mr. Man?
Boys, I'm glad you're home.
I have a small babysitting favorto ask you.
We'd love to watch your girls,
get all thatprecious baby time in
before their breath turns.
No, not them. Marvin.
Sure, but if you want us to takehim on walks, that's extra.
I love him, but now that he's retired,
he is home all the time,
and it can be a little much.
Well, I think it's great
you're not conformingto the traditional maternal role
that society thrustsupon women
and are actively choosingto vacation
from the domestic sphere.
Uh, okay.
W-- So, you'll watch him for the day?
He wants to take you out for a ride on his new boat.
A boat ride with Uncle Marvin?
Heck to the yes.
I'm gonna slip-test my new docksiders.
Louis: So, while we all laughed
when rubber snakes came out of the fire extinguisher,
don't do it again.
I know I'm scolding myself.
Owning his own mistakes -- sign of a good leader.
We're gonnahave to send a rescue team
to get this guyoutta your dad's ass.
Don't worry. We got this.
Hey, boss, quick pitch.
What about a suggestion box?
That way, employees can safely share their ideas
on how to run the restaurant,
like a bulletin board for swapping shifts
or take-home mints at the host stand.
Or well-defined department boundaries,
with particular focus on newly rehired managers
who may not realize things have been working
just fine for the past year and a half!
Reel it in, dude.
Hmm. Suggestion box. That's a good idea.
You know, back at D-wood,
Dolly used to say she didn't need a suggestion box
'cause she walked around with two big ones.
Her left ear and her right ear.
Oh. Ears.
Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Matty's right.
We don't need a suggestion box.
Alright, team, great meeting.
If anything comes up, take it to The Nut.
I gotta get home and crank on my garden.
Whoa! Garden?
Yeah. Gonna need to hear all about that.
I do have a great manure mixture, if you need one.Hmm.
Well, looks like we're stuck with this doofus.
He's gotthat divorced-man energy.
We can't compete.
Marvin: So,then the Italian says,
"I didn't reportmy credit card stolen
because the thief spends less than my wife."
You got your sea legsthere yet, Emery?
It's not the boat.
It's these jokes that are promoting
grotesque and insensitive --
I'm also a little seasick.
What'd he say?
I just want to catch a big, tasty one,
have Honey whip up some fish tacos.
I tell you, that woman is a savant
when it comes to cabrilla and cabbage.
My girlfriend, Sicily,microwaves a mean fish stick.
They should meet.
Wait a minute.
Are you both implying
it's the man's job to bring home the bacon
and the woman's role to cook it?
Huh? Bacon?
What?
No. Honey handles allthe groceries in our household.
I just want to catch a fish big enough
that can eat a license plate.
Mm.
Oh, come on, Emery.
You gotta man up.
Yeah, Emery, grow a pair!
Honey wrote a biography?
What could be in there? She does nothing.
No. It's Dolly Parton.
I've accepted the factthat Chestnut's here to stay,
so I'm getting aheadof all the sweet sayings
I'll be hearing from now on.
Yee-haw.
There was a stretch of time where I was saying
"rootin' tootin'" a lot.
But I wasn't using it the right way.
Morning.
Oh. Gardening in a suit, like a rich man.
I like it.
No. I'm off the garden.What?
After all that searching,
I thought you finally found what you wanted to do.
Yeah, and I appreciate you supporting me,
but I talked to Chestnut, and he made me realize
I should just concentrate on the restaurant.
But I thought you were excited
by the idea of the community garden.
Oh, I was, but then Chestnut convinced me
I'm better off at Cattleman's.
He left to chase his next big thing at Dollywood,
only to learn that the grass wasn't greener.
It was blue.
Bluegrass.
Music.
Well, you know where the grass is greener?
A well-tended garden.
Anyway, he's back to supporting me 100%, just like you.
I rootin' tootin' do.
Looks like Chestnut'san el problemo.
What do you know?
Spanish I is taking.
We all have a common goal, so I suggest we join forces.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Wait. I'm your enemy?
My new friend.
What is this room?
It used to be Grandma's room,
but now it's our War Room,
where we'll strategize on how to get rid of Chestnut.
Mom hates Chestnut
because Dad didn't listen to herabout gardening.
It's bigger than that.
It took him so long to find his new path.
I don't want him to give up
on something he was so excited about.
Can't you just tell himChestnut's dumb?
That's something you'd say.
No.
I said I would support him 100%.
But he'll never refocus with that idiot in his ear.
Good luck, because Dad and Chestnut
are like a couple of cottontails drunk on sweet tea.
Dern it, why's everything Dolly says so cute?
That's it.
Chestnut once left Cattleman's for Dollywood.
Maybe he'll leave again
if the right offer comes his way.
Who is this old couplesleeping?
His parents.
If things get hairy, he needs to know
the elder Nuts are within our reach.
Jane Austensure can spin a yarn.Emery: Right?
And as a female author,
she had to fight the double standard.
And look at thosebeautiful blue peepers.
What a dish.
Rowr.
What's gotten into you?
You've been speaking likea 1945 radio show all afternoon.
What are you talking about, baby doll?
"Baby doll"? "Man up"?
Earlier today, you commented on the weather lady's "gams."
Oh, please.
You read one bookwith the V-word in the title,
and you're gonna lecture me on feminism?
I support women.
I literally decorated my roomwith one --
Brandi Chastain.
You only have that because you got the tingles
when she ripped her shirt off.
Objectifier!
Everything'sa daytime drama with you.
Oh, yeah?
If you really don't think it's a problem,
why don't we call Sicily, comment on her "gams"?
No, no, no, no, no, no!God, no!
Maybe you're right.
I guess when I'm around Marvin,
all that stuffjust comes out of me.
But I don't wanna stophanging out with him.
Then we just have to change him.Tall order.
We're talking about a guy whostill calls Germany "Prussia."
Hmm.
Hey, Lou, where do you think this little guy's paddling to?
I like to thinkhe's headed upriver to Canada
to avoid the war.
Ah, the Great Squirrel War.
I love the way you think.
Louis.
Nut Man.
M'Cattlelady.
Uh, no. Okay.
Jessica, what are you doing here?
I'm here to support you
since you're fully committed
to staying exactly where you are.
That's so sweet.
If Matthew doesn't mind,
I would love to see this new griddle
you've been talking about.
Oh, yeah, I could show you --
No. You stay here.
If you're looking for something to do,
you should keep an eye
on those suspicious-looking boysin the corner.
Curtains up. We're on.
Oh, no. He's coming. Hide the papers.
What do you got there, boys?
God, you're so good.You got us.
If we tell you, you promiseto keep it a secret?
I am a chestnut
that doesn't crack.
It's an application for a manager position
at a new Tony Roma's.
We want to apply,
but we're not sure if weshould leave Cattleman's.
It's located at Seaside and 4th.
That is aquarium-adjacent.
Lotta happy, hungry families.
Twice the pay, too. Full dental.
Certainly interesting.
Um, who is the regional manager?
Uh...Donny Worthington.
Big believer in upward mobility.
Great golfer.
They arefranchising quickly.
Fun suspenders, great ribs --St. Louis andMemphis style.
It's an ambitious menu.
Uh, Donny Worthington,you say?
Thank you, boys.
He totally bought it.
Tell me everything,
because I was so in character, I remember nothing.
You were playing yourself.
I thought I was playing you.
I appreciate your concern,
but I treat galswith class and respect.
I'm just froma different generation.
That's all. We know you are.
We just want to make sure you don't offend anybody.
Hey, guys, I was an outdoorboot model for five years,
so I think I've earned the rightto say "Grow some balls"
if I want.
Balls!
Bikini?
Training her early to be focusedon having a hot summer bod?
Wow, a real digital clock for the stove. Mnh.
Someone won't be burning the roast when husband comes home.
Dirty dog.
You guys are right.
I have to learn some of this new stuff
so I can be a more sensitive father.
Teach me.
A father and son are in a car accident
and are sent to separate hospitals. Mm.
When the boy is taken in for operation,
the doctor says...
"I can't operatebecause he's my son."
How's that possible?
It's the boy's mother.
The doctor's a woman.
But then who's the nurse?
What's an appropriate comment for the man to make?
Trick question. He shouldn't say anything.
And he should keep his eyes above the deck guns.
-Come on, man.
Oh.
Oh, thank you.
Uh, I know.
Give me a construction hat and teach me to whistle.
I failed.
No. Open the door for any woman you want,
as long as you don't treat her like she's helpless.
The fact that you're thinkingabout this is a win.
Hey, back to that doctor joke --
are you sure it's not two gay dads?
I'd like to raise a glass of powdered lemonade
to new friends and bonds that can never be broken.
That's enough.
Chestnut was droolingover that fake job.
I bet he's telling Dadhe's quitting right now.
Then Louis will see him as the opportunistic weed
in his garden of dreams.
Whoa. Next time, you're toasting.
Louis: I had an interesting conversation
with Chestnut today.
Just when you think you can trust people...
Oh, don't be upset.
How could you knowhe'd abandon you again?
He didn't do anything wrong.
The boys tried to trick him into quitting.
A new steakhouse?
Managed by...
Donny Worthington?
I'm sorry, Ma. I panicked.
I almost said "Dolly Parton"
because that's the bookI'm reading.
In rehearsals, you never askedfor a manager's name.
Wait.
You're involved in this?
I should've known once you showed up
suddenly interested in Cattleman's.
Hey, don't confuse yourmild frustration with the boys
with my enthusiasmover your new griddle.
All those knobs -- very cool.
Oh, thanks. Your support is greatly appreciated.
That's how ILIE.
Hey, Trent, you wanna go play in my room?
Go with it. I'm you.
Let's get out of here.
Go.
Well, I know you havea lot going on,
so I'll go punish the boys.
You said you'd support me 100%,
and now you're going behind my back?
Well, I thought with Chestnut gone,
you would focuson your passion again.
You were so upsetwhen you didn't have one.
I didn't want you to go back to that.
And you thought giving him a fake application to Tony Roma's
would solve that?He bailed on you once.
I thought he would do it again.
He's a name chaser, Louis --
Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton...
Donny Worthington.
The only name Chestnut cares about is Louis Huang.
He didn't come to me to quit.
He came with a bunch of ideas
to respond to the new competition.
So those arereal glasses.
They're not "dumb personplaying smart person" glasses.
Yeah.
He even took my garden idea and improved it --
a beer garden.
Now we're gonna spend every waking minute
making it the best Asian-owned
Western steakhouse German beer hall
run by an Irishman in Orlando.
You know, it's nice having a partner
who actually supports you 100%.
Hey, boys.
Thanks for returning my jar opener in one piece.
Honey, you are a strong,independent woman,
and you don't need meto help you open up that jar.
Aww, sweet pea. I'm glad you feel that way.
Yes!
But the jar is stuck,
so I'm gonna need you to reach into your purse,
find your testicles, and open it.
-Whoa. -Whoa.
All this sexist languagedidn't come from Marvin.
It was coming from Honey all along?
Come on!
Hike up your prom dress!
What, are you on your period?!
Come on!
This beer garden's a nightmare.
Chestnut made us bring steins home
to get used to the weight.
This thing is bottomless.
Like Porky Pig.All he wears is a blazer.
Did Donny put anything in there
about when the teacher makes a mistake?
No.That would've been helpful.
Instead, the wimp diedbefore he got to that chapter.
If it helps, I'm blaming Trent.
It does help.
Mmm.
They taste better when you grow them yourself.
Whoa, Grandma. Those still have stems.
You're growing vegetables now,Jenny? Where?
In Louis' garden.
Louis gave up his garden, thanks to Chestnut.
He left me in charge.
I am a boss now.
So he didn'tgive up his garden.
Mmm!
I know nothing about women.
Don't beat yourself up.
A lot of great men never understood women --
Harvey Milk, Elton John, Freddie Mercury.
Turns out I'mthe one who's biased.
I need to take a long lookin the mirror.
That's what you always do --
20 minutes fixing your hair, one air kiss,
and two finger guns.
I made an assumption
that all that sexist stuffcame from Marvin
just because he's an older guy.
Oppressor. And a narcissist.
What if I can't turn this off?
What if I'm just someone
that always judges a bookby its cover?
Sometimes you gotta judge a book by its cover.
Or else you never would've bought "The Vagina Monologues"
in the first place.
You're right.
And I never would have learnedsuch valuable lessons.
As long as you're thinking about it, it's a win.
Sound familiar?
Wow.
All this time we thoughtwe were babysitting Marvin,
he was babysitting us.
And your feminism's spreading through the house.
I saw a V-word book in Eddie's room, too.
But it was a magazine and sealed in plastic.
Hmm.
Oh, hey, Jessica.
Knife to stab you back,
as in my back...
here at the restaurant, with a knife.
Are you here to stab me in the back again?
No. There's somethingI have to say to you,
and it's not going to be easy.
Well, thank you. I appreciate you --
Chestnut wasn't the problem.It was you.
That just turned so fast.
Chestnut didn't make you quityour garden.
You did that on your own,
just like you abandoned beinga barber and a tour guide
and a horse photographer.
Well, the last one was an allergy thing,
but thanks for bringing up all my failures.
You're welcome.
Failures are what you're good at.
Oh, I love you, too.
And Cattleman's is not a failure.
I wasn't talking about Cattleman's.
Cattleman's is great.
Louis, think about it.
You come upwith something great,
and then, when you get bored,
you hand it off
and then you come upwith your next new thing,
like when you gave the gardento Grandma.
Well, her wheelchair is perfect for aerating the soil.
Mm-hmm.I was right to support you.
You are a gardener.
You like to plant seeds --
idea seeds, business seeds.
So I'm a business farmer.
A business consultant.
You get new ideas off the ground,
and then you move on tothe next thing that excites you.
It's perfect for you.
Well, if I'm going for it,
this is the kind of support I'll need.
Well, then that's what you'll get.
And I promise
that Trent will nevergo behind your back again.
Uh, apology accepted.
Maybe you're right.
If I can turn a condemned strip club
into a salmonella-free family restaurant,
then maybe I canconsult.
You already did it once this week.
I sure did.
What was it?
With your mom.
I thought it was smartto put her in the garden,
start her getting usedto all that dirt.
You know, I hate to admit it.
Chestnut's kinda growing on me.
Eddie: Besides a couple of blips,
Germany hada pretty fun culture.
Guten Tag, mein fraus.
Whoa. How are you carrying that many?
Oh, I built up my hand strength
crawling out of your father's ass.
You're on, boys.
Well, we did wantmore responsibility.
I hate this.
I've never felt prettier.
