You're not welcome here
in my home anymore.

Get out.

♪♪

My daughters and I run a
carpeting business together.

I find it fascinating,

especially that you
have a family business.

Let's take a look at this will,
shall we?

She left everything to me.

Have you ever made a sound financial
decision in your entire life?

I never had a chance
to make any decision,



but now I do.

♪♪

- Priyet.
- Oh, hey, privet.

Um, hi, I'm Cheryl.
Welcome to Bakersfield.

- Hi. Hello.
- Hi.

Is the sky always brown like this?

Oh, uh, well,
that's just... just the haze.

It burns off at sunset into
a really beautiful violet.

- How beautiful, very beautiful.
- Yeah,

it's really quite breathtaking.

- You have a cigarette?
- No, not on me.

I, um, I don't,
but I can work on that for you.

I can, uh, get you, uh, cigarettes.

- No problem.
- We're just so excited to have your circus here.

Okay, it looks like a
position has become available

in a traveling Russian circus. Okay?

You'd be filling in
for one of the clowns

while the show is in town.

The guy on the phone was a
little hard to understand,

but he was really impressed
with your training.

I could tell.

Well, French clowning is highly regarded

outside the United States.

Yeah, uh, so anyway,

it'd be two weeks in
the casino parking lot,

16 performances, $500 each.

Whoa, I can work with that.

- Yeah.
- In a parking lot?

This gig is legit, all right?

You've been paying your
dues for a long time.

This could be a big moment in your life.

[cheering, applause]

[beep]

Hi, Christine, this is Ken from Denver.

- Sorry I missed you, but, uh, I wanted to...
- Coming.

- just leave you... Hello?
- Hello. Hello.

Hi, Christine.
I was just leaving you a message.

Oh, I was listening to it.
What a great voice you have.

You could do one of those Pixar movies.

You could play a sad
lamp or a happy chair.


Well, I...

[high pitched voice] I guess I could.

[laughing] I always wanted
to play a mean crab.

So listen, I wanted to,
uh... to run something by you.

Oh. Okay.

Well, I'm thinking about
making a trip to Bakersfield.

Wow! That's terrific. Really?

Well, you know,
with the, uh, Darla trial thing,

and, uh, spending all the late
nights at the carpet store,

I just need a little
rest and relaxation.

Well, I will be your guide.

I'll show you all around the city,

or we'll just sit and talk, or we'll...

go out and eat.

After the gastric sleeve procedure,

your stomach reduces to
about 20 percent of its size.

We remove the portion of the
stomach that makes you hungry.

Well, I have a guest
coming in this week,

so could I get it done by Friday?

Oh, I'm... well, I'm afraid not.

Oh. Well, I heard about this pill

that if you took it,
you pee out your fat.

[chuckles] I, um... I'm not aware of it.

You're not? Oh.

I would like to also mention that

we don't accept any insurance,

but we do have financing options.

Well, money's no problem for me,

I've come into a little nest egg.

- My mother died.
- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

- Can you believe it?
- I'm sorry.

So, would you like to schedule an...
an appointment next month?

I would. The first Monday.

♪♪

Man: Be in this gig. Uh-huh.

Hello.

Hi.

Chip Baskets the clown.

Yes. Hi. Are you Mr., uh, Gasparov?

Gasparovs are long gone.

We're not family by blood, we...

family by trade.

Uh?

Nikolai.

I'll be the man who throws pies.

You'll be the man who
takes pies in face.

Oh, good, good.
That should be a good show, then.

[speaking Russian]

Anybody know where the carpet king is?

- Is that you, sir?
- [chuckles] That's me.

Welcome, I'm your driver.

[laughing]

- Hello.
- Hi, Ken.

- Hi, Christine.
- How are you?

I'm fine.

Ken, I wanted to let you know something.

I'm having a sleeve put on my stomach.

That's a big decision.

Well, this would be the before picture.

And then on the other side
would be the after picture.

Where I'd be more healthy and...

Yeah, my, uh...
my son-in-law did something like this.

This is a... a tricky procedure,
Christine.

This is a lot to think about.

Well... I have been
losing weight on my own.

I noticed.

Hi, Martha.

Oh, hi, Mrs. Baskets.

- How are you?
- Great.

Martha, this is Ken.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- That's the guy.
- Oh. Hi.

I told her about us.

Martha and I are very good friends.

We tell each other everything.

- Well...
- Well, sometimes, you know.

Anyway, Martha works here.

Yeah, I'm in auto insurance.

I started in returns,
but I refused to unionize.

Ken: Oh, that's nice.

- Yeah.
- Hey, Martha.

Have you talked to Chip?

You know, he's not charging
that phone I got him.

Um, you know what?

Lately, I've found it's easiest
to reach him in the flesh.

What is that, a riddle?

No, it just means in person.

Oh. Well, where would that be?

Ken: I think we can get
through here, Christine.

Watch your step.
I just stepped in some chicken shit.

- Oh, God.
- Oh, God.

This place is hideous.

- [chicken clucking]
- Christine: Well, there's the chicken.

Christine: Oh, it's true.

Chip Baskets. What are you doing here?

You weren't supposed to see any of this.

I'm doing fine, Mom.

Oh, my God. Are you living here?

Yes, it's kind of a sublet.

What are you, a Billy goat?

Everything's okay. I just... I just...

Um, I didn't expect you to...
see me like this.

It's okay.

Well, I didn't either.

I was just, uh...

inviting you to a dinner.

'Cause Ken was in town.
You remember Ken, don't you?

I do. Hi, Ken. How are you?

Hey, Chip. Stepped in chicken shit.

It's everywhere. It's everywhere.

Come on, Chip. Let's go back.

Come back to the house.

Mom, you cannot just come in
here and fix this just like this.

Look, I know I'm a burden.

But you just gotta butt out.

Leave.

Please leave, Mom.

I'll be in the car, Ken.

Son, do not use that tone
with your mother.

Try and get your act together.

Your mother loves you very much.

Chicken shit.

Sorry about the shoe smell.

Ken.

I just want my family to be a happy one.

I know what to do with
my mother's money now.

This is my son, Dale.

Your mother told me you
used to run a university.

Very impressive.

Well, thank you very much, yes.

I was in the education field.

I mean, the education industry is a...

is a dying industry.

- Is that so?
- Yeah.

Anyway, this is Crystal and Sarah.

Crystal just graduated from
middle school, whatever that is.

- Dale: Junior high.
- Oh.

- Junior high school.
- 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th.

- There it is.
- Well, 8th...

Junior high when we were growing up.

Oh, Martha and Chip are here.

Hi. Sit down. Join us.

Christine: Hi, everyone.

I hope you enjoyed your meat.

It was very good.

Um, I really am glad you're all here.

The family has had quite a year.

First of all, Meemaw.

Hm. So sorry. We miss you, Meemaw.

Um, Chip spent some time behind bars.

And Dale spent some time at my house.

It's not a jail.

But now, I think some things
have really become clear to me.

I have figured out what
to do with Meemaw's money.

And it has to do with a little building

on the corner of
Checkers and California.

It's an old Burger King restaurant.

And it'll make a lovely
new Arby's franchise,

run by the Baskets family.

- What?
- Yes.

- Dale: Are you serious?
- It's a surprise.

Ohh.

Am I the only one gonna clap?

- Thank you, thank you.
- That's great, Mom.

Dale, with your business acumen,

you'll be able to help us
with the business side of it.

And the girls will have a summer job.

And Chip will add the toppings.

And I'll come by every once in a while.

I'll not only cut and curl the fries,

- but I'll fry them.
- [laughter]

Curly fries for everyone.
Give us some curly fries.

- Yes!
- Oh, didn't that go well?

Was I... Move in a little,
Martha, move in.

Ooh. Well, what do you think?

We have our own Arby's.

- Um...
- Exciting.

Actually, I already have a job.

What is it?

Clowning again at...

the... the... a Russian clown.

- A Russian clown.
- Yes, ma'am.

Well, does it have health insurance?

Workman's comp?

No, but it's the best thing
I've had since the rodeo.

Oh, rodeo. See how that turned out.

Rodeo closed.

Oh, Ken, can you come here?

Chip's got a job.

Did you know anything about this?

Oh, well, what are you doing, Chip?

I'm a second lead clown
in a Russian, uh, circus.

I like a good circus. Are there tigers?

There's, um, poodles from Moscow.

- Communist poodles?
- Wow. That's wonderful.

How'd they get in the country?

We should go see that.
What do you think, Christie?

- We could bring the whole family.
- Yes, I like that idea.

- Will you go, Martha?
- Sure, I'll go.

I guess we're going to the show,
right, Ken?

Ken: Guess we're going to the show.

Again.

Again.

- [sighs]
- I like your spirit.

Looking very good, my friend.

It's gotta be better.

This has to go really well,

or I'm gonna end up
curling my mom's fries.

That's good for a day.

Hey, do you mind if I stick around,

and, you know, work out the kinks?

You work hard for an American.

But, yes. Take your time.

Vladimir is family. All right?

Thanks, you guys. Thank you.

That was great, Chip.

I really liked that part

where the guy pulled your pants off.

How about we should get out of here,

the... the Russians
are a little bit pissed.

Oh, the Russians are always pissed.

I thought it was terrific.

And the seats were really good.
We enjoyed it.

- Christine: Yeah.
- Thank you, Ken.

My favorite part was
when that guy, like,

did the thing with the chair,

and you fell on your dumb ass.

That was so funny.

It takes skill to fall on your ass.

Yeah. You played it perfectly,

like you didn't know what was going on.

Yeah, that was...
that was kind of funny.

- Yeah.

I don't think I've ever said that.
