Bob's Burgers (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Spaghetti Western and Meatballs - full transcript

The "Burn Unit" is suspended when Bob sees "Banjo," a spaghetti western on TV. Bob asks Gene to join him and Louise; the youngest child is not amused. Tina is a member of Wagstaff School's Conflict Resolution Club, A.B.S. The club asks Bob's Burgers to provide spaghetti and meatballs for its upcoming fundraiser; and Linda is so proud. Gene can find neither a banjo nor a harmonica but Louise's pink guitar gives him confidence to thwart a bully at school. When the younger kids end up with detention and the Belchers are banned from the fund raiser, there may be no dinner for anyone in Sweetwater... unless Bob shows his A.B.S.

Okay. Burn Unit, commence.

You go first.

Oh, I play soccer,
'cause I forgot I have hands.

Burn! I'm on the news
because I have a huge head

Burn! I can't outrun a lawn
mower 'cause my dress is so tight.

- Oh! I'm dead.
- Burn!

- ♪♪ [WESTERN]
- Whoa. It's Banjo.

- Oh, I'm a cowboy, and I got-
- Wait, wait, wait.

Suspend Burn Unit.
This is a great movie.

It's a spaghetti western-
the best one-underappreciated.

- He plays a banjo.
- ♪♪ [STRUMS CHORD]



- Yeah, I can see that.
- They made a whole bunch of these.

Dad. Do we have anything
bigger than this?

- Oh, Gene. What did you do?
- Nothing yet.

Just planning ahead.
What are you guys watching?

[BULLET' RICOCHETING]

Nothing. Go back to bed.

The Burn Unit is
just me and Dad.

[GUNFIRE]

Whoa! Did he just shoot
bullets out of his banjo?

- Yes.
- Damn!

Oh, you like that, Gene? 'Cause
we're changing the channel.

No, no! Let's watch it. This is
pretty much the beginning.

- What?
- Gene, sit here.

[SHOUTS] What?
[GRUNTS]



It's like pushing a
couch off the couch! Yah!

Here. Hold my plunger.

- Yah!
- ' [THUGS]

[GENE]
Ow!

Ah! We are just so thrilled that
you chose us to cater the event.

Mom. Mom. Fill me up.

I just hope we can live
up to last year's event.

Mom.

- That Colleen Caviello-
- Mom!

She really outdid herself... and
never lets anyone forget about it.

Just fill up the little mug.

- Ouch.
- Right. Right, right. [LAUGHING]

Okay, Mr. Frond.
Good-bye. Good-bye.

So, What are we catering?
That sounded promising.

Oh, it's a real big deal, Bobby.

It's a fund-raiser for Tina's
Conflict Resolution Club.

Colleen Caviello made
the food last year.

This year she can
go... blow a balloon.

Yay! You're catering
our fund-raiser.

- That's great. How much does it pay?
- Nothin'.

- Nothing?
- It's a benefit, Bobby.

- It's a spaghetti dinner.
- But we don't make spaghetti.

This is school fund-raising, Bob.
It's a pasta game.

You make spaghetti,
or you go home.

Besides, it's for a good cause.

Oh, yeah-to one-up, uh, Colleen
Caviello. That's a-That's a great cause.

You weren't there, Bob! You
don't know how awful it was.

[VOICE SLOWED DOWN]
This is delicious.

Oh, my God, I love this ziti.

[LAUGHING]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

They love my ziti.

And that was the
worst day of my life.

Anyway, this isn't about Colleen
This is about 77?-;A.

We're raising money
to buy a bulletproof trash can...

so gang members can
finally throw out their guns.

Aw.

And we're teaching conflict resolution
skills you can use in your own lives.

That's right, Tina. And Mr.
Frond is runnin' the whole thing.

Ugh. Mr. Frond?
He's a tall drink of... annoying.

That may be true, but you're
gonna drink that drink, mister!

I don't want to.

I have worked too hard
to get us this event...

so you'll be nice to Frond, and
you'll make spaghetti and meatballs!

- No.
- Yes.

- No!
- ' Yes!

I'm gonna half-ass it.

- Yay.
- Dad, check it out.

- Little Princess Guitar.
- Gene, that's mine!

You never use it. I'm like Banjo.

- What's the bad guy's name?
- Ceviche.

Ceviche, yeah. He reminds me
of this kid at school-Choo-Choo.

- Choo-Choo?
- Yeah. He's kind of my nemesis.

If I'm telling a joke, he'll say
the punch line before I do.

Vampire walks into a bar
and says, "I'll have a-"

- I'll have a blood lite.
- Huh?

What do you calla Spanish guy
with a rubber toe?

- Ruberto!
- Ruber-[FRUSTRATED GRUNT]

- Boo-bees! [SCREAMS]

So, I'm gonna use this guitar...

That's, uh-That's great, Gene.

- But I think your face is wrong.
- My face is wrong?

Yeah, you should do
the Banjo icy stare.

Like this?

[LAUGHS]
N-No. Not like that.

- [GROWLING]
- No, no, no. Don't growl.

- Like this?
- Hmm. Maybe try that.

Why not? Some of these

Tina, get up. Let's hang out.

Okay. Maybe we can practice
conflict resolution.

Say something mean to me
so I can not react.

- Anything I want?
- Yeah.

Ha-ha! Well, your
room looks like...

it was decorated by
a perverted jockey.

When you say that, What I feel is
that you're trying to hurt my feelings.

Oh, my God. [SPEAKING SLOWLY]
Why do you talk so slow?

When you say that, What I feel is
that you're trying... Oh, man, Tina.

so will your parents

um, Becky, 'cause
your mom's in jail.

Tina, Jocelyn, Jimmy
Jr., let's rehearse.

Becky, you just Watch.

Tina here just found out that her
best friend Jocelyn told Jimmy Jr...

that Tina is "wack."

And... acting.

Tina, Jocelyn told
me you are wack.

Jocelyn, you skank. I hate you.

Whatever. It's true.
You are wack.

And... freeze!
Well, that resolved nothing.

Let's rewind, shall we?

[IMITATING VOICES
SPEAKING BACKWARDS]

Let's work out our ABS.

“A”! Access your feelings!

When you gossiped about me
to Jimmy Jr., it hurt my feelings.

Be apologetic!

Sorry.

Us-H slap it!

Well done. Do it just
like that at the dinner.

- [BELL RINGING]
- Oh, enjoy your lunch, everyone.

If you ever gossip about me
to Jimmy Jr...

outside of a conflict resolution
skit, I'll punch you in the face.

It was just a skit, Tina.

I will punch you
again and again...

and again and again and again-

- My God. What a psycho.
- And again and again...

and again and again and-

Well, the important thing is,
I shared this movie with Gene...

and it helped him
stand up for himself at school.

Eh, I beat up a lot of kids like
Gene when I was his age.

Not that I was a bully. Just kids like
Gene, you know, they get beat up.

Bob, how are the
meatballs comin'?

- 'Cause they need to be perfect.

Hey! It's just like your
burgers, only spherical!

Hey!

- “Hey” what?
- They're not for you!

They're for me to show off in front
of the other moms at the fund-raiser.

Bobby, make one extra big
for Colleen Caviello to choke on.

Okay.

All right. Looks like I'm
sitting with you today.

Here's the pecking order.
Me, then either of you.
