For Cultural Appreciation Day,

I'm honoring 4,000 years
of Jewish tradition

by circumcising this
unrealistically long

Hebrew National.

You can see why the ladies
think it looks... better.

(GIRL SHRIEKS)



(SHOES CLACKING)

Wooden click-clack
shoes are the best part

of being Dutch!

But the wooden underwear

gives me splinters in my nether lands.

You guys are so lucky.

My dad won't tell me
anything about our heritage.

He says being American is enough.

Really? I thought that outfit

was some kind of religious get-up

because you wear it every day.

And it's really unflattering.

(SIGHS)

Everyone has cool cultural
traditions except me.



I don't even know what I am.

Guys! My arms are from Uzbekistan,

and my legs are from Thailand.

My right eye is from India,

and my left eye is from a dairy cow.

Even this monster has a better sense

of his cultural identity than I do.

Steve, having friends who are monsters

doesn't mean you can use the "M" word.

Spaghetti and meatballs.

Gotta love my peeps!

Wait, Principal Lewis,

Italian food is part of your culture?

What should I be eating, Steve?

What should a man with my
physical attributes be eating?

Something from a different
part of the world, perhaps?

A certain continent?

Should I be wearing a
different kind of clothing

while eating it?

Enlighten me, Steve.

What should I be eating?!

Uh...

Deez nuts?

Your silver tongue has gotten you

out of yet another scrape, Smith.

Dad, check out my new project.

This isn't another lame
science fair experiment, is it?

No, I-I'm making a family tree...

No. I'm talking about this.

All of this.

The simulation.

Uh... no.

I'm making a family tree

so I can find our family's roots.

So far, all I have is you and mom,
Jack, and your mother.

Oh, a-a-and you have
a brother, too, right?

When it's convenient, yes.

Well, since Mom and Hayley
are out of town,

I was hoping you'd help me
fill in the empty branches.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

(FLAME WHOOSHES)

Dad, what the hell?!

It doesn't matter where we came from.

We're Americans,
the badass super-people all of humanity

has been evolving to become!

But everyone in school has neat
cultural traditions and stuff!

Cultural traditions?

Amber waves of grain, man.

Purple mountains majesty, man.

America made Bud, Bud Light, Bud Select,

and don't forget the
mistake at the factory

that graced us with Budweiser:
Oops, All Hops!

You realize you set my project on fire

and then gave me a speech that
was ultimately about beer, yes?

'Merica.

♪♪

Thanks for agreeing to meet
out here on my new balcony.

I thought it would be nice
to enjoy the fresh air,

be surrounded by my plants.

Did you know "balcony"
might be Latin for "air terrace"?

I actually have a problem
I need to talk out, and...

Let's put a pin in that.

I gotta turn the sausages
on the grill behind you,

but I feel like I won't be
able to fit past the table.

Come on, Roger.

Actually, I'm gonna put you in charge

of the sausages since you're closer.

Sausage Steve.

That's how I'll remember it.

- Mnemonic device.
- Roger!

I want to find my cultural roots,

and Dad's refusing to help!

(SAUSAGES SIZZLING)

Fine, I'll turn the damn sausages.

That's only one sausage, Sausage Steve.

Honestly, I'm starting to wonder
how you even got that name.

I looked into taking a DNA test,

but I'm not old enough.

_

Who says you have to use your DNA?

♪♪

(SNORING)

The door's not locked.
We can walk right in.

Oh, come on. I thought we agreed

we were doing a whole
stylized heist thing.

Let's just get my dad's
DNA before we wake him up.

(SNORING)

Are you crazy?!

The best DNA is in the fluids...

saliva, blood, semen.

And I know a way to
get all three at once.

It's called...

We're not doing whatever it's called.

Okay, then. Plan "B."

I whisper some really
dirty stuff in Stan's ear.

Like, filthy.

You're down there with a ziplock baggie,

waiting for nature to take its course.

Look!

(SNORING)

Well, I can still do
my part of Plan "B."

It was a dark and horny night.

The hospital furnace was broken,

and the nurses were huddling
together to keep warm.

Did I mention this was
the sex pervert hospital,

Geyser Permanente?

Ohh, God!

♪♪

Mom, thank you so much
for traveling the country

with me to all these Sub Hubs
to narc out bad employees.

And thank you for the free
trip to the Wichita, Kansas!

I haven't seen many witches yet,
but I'll be ready when I do!

Being a secret shopper
is a lot of pressure.

If I don't bust someone,
corporate will assume

that I'm on the take,
and I'll get fired!

Welcome to Sub Hub,
home of the Sub Hub Hub Sub.

Are you a member of the Sub
Hub Hub Sub Grub Club, bub?

Shit, I've never heard
anyone say that right.

(LOWERED VOICE) Stick to your guns.

Ahem. I hope my order's not too...

complicated, but...

one six-inch on wheat,
two slices of dry turkey,

one slice of wet ham,
half a slice of roast beef,

shredded, four pickles, two olives,

and exactly the amount of spicy mustard

you can make from 14 mustard seeds.

Here you go. Anything else?

Maybe a little help
with closing your mouth?

She touched you!

That has to be against the rules.

Actually, at Sub Hub,
touching the customer is encouraged.

Everybody living their best life?

Mwah! Mwah!

Huh. An e-mail from Farmville

saying I'm the last one playing.

your ancestors came from."

Steve! Downstairs, now!

- Yes, Papa?
- Does this have something to do

with that powerful wet dream

I had about that
hospital the other night?

Uh...

Stealing my DNA? That's fraud!

Do you still want me to delete it?

Of course! What was that?

You got footprints all over the couch!

I can't, Dad! I gotta know!

(GASPS)

I am...

100% Canadian?!

Isn't that cool, Dad?!

No! It's terrible!

Canada's the cheap knock-off of America.

America is Oreos, and Canada is Hydrox!

Steve, when you realize how bad
this news is, come comfort me.

I'll be crying feeble
Canadian tears in my study.

(SOBS)

I like Canada.

STAN: No, you don't!

♪♪

A real live human being!

I haven't spoken out loud in days!

Hello, Tuttle.

I'm going door to door
admitting my secret shame...

I'm... Canadian.

Neat! I'm Tuttle!

That's my secret shame.

- Oh, you got a new flag!
- What the hell?

Hey, Dad! Wanna hear a Canuck-nuck joke?

That's a Canadian knock-knock joke.

Canuck-nuck!

(DEEPER VOICE) Who's there?

(NORMAL VOICE) This just in.

(DEEPER VOICE) "This just in" who?

(NORMAL VOICE) This Justin Trudeau guy

won't stop doing blackface, eh?

What's with all this Canada crap?

I've been studying the traditions

of our Canadian ancestors.

Instead of Dunkin' Donuts,
they have Tim Horton's Donuts.

Instead of milk cartons,
they have milk bags.

And instead of Game of Thrones,
they have Drake,

who sits upon the throne
as king of the rap game.

(TIRES SCREECH)

Right on time!

Thanks a lot, Steve!

Look, I made Klaus a moose,
the noble Canadian beast.

Ugh! Look at these antlers!

I'll never wear a turtleneck again!

(LOUD CRASH)

I've been Canadian for like one day,

and my life is in shambles.

(SIGHS) Okay, I give up.

Let's go do American stuff.

How about I make us some
pancakes with maple syrup?

We eat it while watching
Mike Myers movies,

then discuss our favorite
Michael Bublé songs.

Okay, these sound like things
I can get on board with.

Aha!

All those things are Canadian!

What a dirty trick!

How dare you use pancakes against me!

- (HORSE WHINNIES)
- Excuse me.

I'm looking for Stan Smith.

A DNA test company sent
me to take him on a tour

of his ancestral village,
Smithville, Canada.

Dad! Get out here!

STAN: Screw you, Steve!
You ruined my life!

- I'm Stan Smith.
- Great, sir!

Hop on up!

This is exciting!

But I hope not too exciting,
or it wouldn't be Canadian.

♪♪

Wow! Here we are in Sin City!

- It's pronounced "Cincinnati."
- Huh.

Well, either way, this place

has a whole lot more
witches than Wichita.

Mom, focus. I got a new plan.

Sub Hub wants their
cashiers to push people

to order more stuff than they want.

It's called "upselling."

But if I can get out of here
with just a bag of chips

and a cup of water,
we'll have someone to write up.

Damn it, they're good!

Meat thief. Meat thief.

This is my big chance to make a bust.

- We gotta tail him!
- To the meat mobile!

♪♪

Goddamn witches, man.

Thanks for agreeing to
have this conversation

on my new balcony, Stan.

Fine, whatever.

Unfortunately, the new bird feeder

I put up seems to be attracting crows,

but that's balcony life.

(CROW CAWS)

(CROW SHRIEKS, NECK SNAPS)

Did you know "crow"
might be Latin for "air steak"?

Roger! You said you had
important news about Steve!

Oh, yeah, Steve.

I-I saw him ride off on horseback

with a Canadian Mountie.

Those Canadian bastards!

How am I going to get him back?

I really started to drag
right around Vermont.

But now that we crossed
the border and I had that

Kind bar, I feel totally re-energized.

Welcome to Smithville, Canada!

I refuse to be welcomed.

Too late!

'Cause here come your
long-lost relatives.

I'm your cousin Jeffrey, eh!

Uh, don't worry, that bulge in my jeans

is just a can of Molson.

And I'm your Uncle Carl, ya hoser!

And this ain't no Molson in my pocket.

I get it now.

Canada's not a knock-off of America.

It's our minor leagues!

They test out a bunch of stuff,

and whenever something's good enough,

we call it up to the big leagues
of the USA, like Jim Carrey!

- And hockey!
- And lentils!

For real, look it up.

I'm glad you're coming around, Dad,

but something feels a
little off about this place.

Hey, there. Can I top you off, yeah?

Wait, milk from a carton? Not a bag?

A-And this bacon is
crispy American strips,

not floppy Canadian circles.

I'm sure it's nothing.

But what self-respecting
Canadian would serve

Krispy Kreme doughnuts
instead of Tim Horton's!

First you bug me about
embracing our heritage,

and now that I do,
you're trying to take it away from me?

We Canadians have a word
for that, Steve... beaver-shit.
