Duck Dynasty (2012–2017): Season 10, Episode 3 - A Decent Proposal - full transcript
While touring New York City, Reed works on his marriage proposal plan to his girlfriend.
So, Reed, are you nervous?
Um, I'm a little bit nervous.
It's funny. I can
sing in front of people
and just not even care at all,
but my stomach is in knots.
I'm nervous. I just want it
to go off without problems.
- We put too much planning into this.
- Yeah.
The kids and I are here
with Reed in New York City
because he is about to
propose to his girlfriend, Brighton.
I liked Brighton
since eighth grade,
and I liked her ever since.
We were, like, "best friends."
I was friends and
it was so hard,
and I was, like, the best
friend that had a crush on,
- you know, like in the movies.
- That's true.
I can't wait for
this to be over.
Unless she says no.
Then the plane ride home
might not be too much fun.
She has no idea, none.
He's just praying that
he says yes. Right?
I just want it to be
good for her, you know,
because I could just do
it at the house, you know.
"Hey, let's get married."
You know? Like...
Yeah, no.
I mean, look. In the backyard
would be more romantic
than how Jase proposed to me.
- Yeah.
- No, no.
- No, it's gotta be better than that.
- But...
So it's Christmas Eve.
Jase brings me to the front
room of his grandparents' house
to give me my present,
and it's a potted plant.
And he says, "Dig
around in the dirt.
Your present's in the pot."
Brighton will have
this memory, and Reed,
- for the rest of their lives.
- Yeah.
Just like I have the memory
of my proposal
from Jase.
Okay, I'm a little annoyed,
but I start digging around,
and I feel something.
So I pull it out,
and it's a box.
So I open it up, and of
course it's an engagement ring.
And I'm stunned,
and he says,
"Well, you're gonna
marry me, aren't ya?"
And that's our proposal story.
It's funny how everything
is just kind of, like,
working to perfection almost.
It's almost too good to be
true. I don't wanna jinx it first.
Well, I think I can see
how God is working.
Jase and I got married so young.
I was still in high school.
Even though it was hard, I know
that God put him in my life at that time,
and so I feel the same way
about Reed and Brighton.
Thank you for always
supporting me in everything.
I love you.
Love you too, Mom.
Can't cry, because then Brighton
will be like, "What the heck?"
Too late.
I'm redoing my makeup.
Hmm.
Well, today is the day.
At any moment, Reed's
proposing to Brighton.
But I have the perfect
idea for what he should do.
- It ain't what you done, is it?
- No.
But it's kind of taking what
I did and making it better.
Oh, good grief. 'Cause I realize
where I could've made it better.
While my proposal had
many great qualities...
I took the ring. I buried
it in a little potted plant.
That's the stupidest
thing I've ever heard of.
It was not the most
romantic proposal possible.
Mine was not good either.
My engagement story was awesome.
We were at Mom and Dad's, and
we're sitting there, laying on the bed,
and I was just, like,
"Why don't we just get
married, like, tomorrow?"
- So she was... "All right."
- That's it?
Hey. There you go.
There's a man who
knows what to do.
- "You want to marry me?"
- You like that?
Short, sweet, and to the point.
But after hearing these guys and
their less-than-stellar proposals...
I took Paula squirrel hunting.
I have the greatest proposal
in this duck call room.
Me and the woman went
to the restaurant, and I said,
"Hey, we gonna
get hitched or not?"
You know? And she said, "No."
Eight hours later,
she finally said yes.
- Eight hours later?
- Yeah.
Was this a proposal, or
was this an interrogation?
It's a shock
that any of these
guys are married.
- There he is. Reed?
- Hi, Dad.
- Have you asked her yet?
- No, I haven't.
We're... We're going to in
probably about 45 minutes.
- Look, I got an idea.
- Oh, no.
I know this will work.
- I'd love to hear this.
- Go buy a metal detector.
- No.
- Nope.
- No.
- No!
Go to Central
Park and dig a hole.
Might find a body.
- That'd ruin everything.
- It would.
Put the ring in it.
What's your deal
with burying stuff?
No, I'd rather not
start a tradition
of digging in the dirt.
Jase has tried to convince
me for the last 25 years
that his proposal
was a work of art.
So it's still like a
flowerpot proposal.
Just the flowerpot got bigger.
This isn't flower pots.
This is Central Park!
Jase is either the Vincent Van
Gogh of marriage proposals...
- Dig a hole.
- Or he's just a stubborn redneck
who made his then
girlfriend dig in a pot of dirt.
But at least there
was a ring in it
and not an ear.
- Move on. Move on.
- All right, well,
I love you. Be strong
and courageous.
- Love you, too, Dad.
- All right, bye, babe.
- I hope it works out.
- Yes, sir.
- All right, bye.
- Bye.
Well, I tried.
Digging in the dirt? Really?
Who doesn't like
to dig in the dirt?
Um, adults.
Was there ever
pirates in New York?
Y'all are missing my point here.
You might find treasure before
you find a ring, and get rich.
I didn't even get
to the end of it.
- You lost me at digging in the dirt.
- That's right.
Women want an
innovator. They want a pi...
- Pirate?
- No.
- They want a pioneer.
- Hey, speaking about that,
you guys got an innovator
right here with y'all.
- What in the world?
- What is that?
I ain't quite got the band
worked out on it yet, boys.
Yeah.
Camouflage your beard.
- You snapped.
- I what?
- Done. You're done here.
- No. No, I ain't done with.
I got a meeting
at 3:00 with Willie.
- Willie's not going to like that.
- Sure he'll like it.
- No, he's not.
- Did you buy that T-shirt?
Look, to make an omelet,
you've got to crack an egg.
Dad, do you know
anything about bell curves?
Well, there's a certain
curve in business
that... will...
curve... Somehow it curves.
So, since you're
so good at business,
my teacher said that if we
get a local businessperson
to come speak in class,
then we get extra credit.
And that would be awesome,
because I really need it.
When do they want me to come?
- Tonight.
- Sadie,
why don't you give me
a little heads-up here?
- Yeah, but...
- Y'all need to take a class on scheduling.
Business 101...
Set up a schedule.
Willie, we still
good for our 3:30?
- Can we do it tomorrow?
- You had a meeting with me scheduled.
You just said scheduling
is, like, key to business.
- Yeah. Come on, bring it in.
- Si...
Why is Godwin in my office?
Why is he setting up an easel?
- That's part of the presentation.
- I don't have time to hear...
Have you ever wondered
why, when we're duck hunting,
I'm not killing much?
I think it's kind of
obvious. You can't shoot.
- No, it ain't that. Look, hey.
- You can't see. You can't hear.
Just to help the
sales pitch, okay,
it works better
when you say yes.
- Well, that's not a sales pitch.
- Look, the answer is yes.
If you're giving a sales pitch,
you can't tell me what to say.
Have you ever wondered why I'm not
killing any ducks when we're hunting?
- Si, I never think about that.
- I knew you was wondering.
- Si...
- The reason
- is they're seeing this white beard.
- I'm sure it is.
Look. Turn my sign around.
Dun, dun, dun dun!
- Beard-a-flage!
- Beard-a-flage!
Hey, like many geniuses, okay,
my brilliance is underappreciated.
Willie's never jumped on board
about any of my ideals in the past.
Help me help you
make some big money.
- Si...
- Every time I touch this, all I hear is
cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching.
Look, I've pitched plenty
of brilliant ideals, okay?
For example, Pitch Purr-fect.
He taped a
microphone to his cat.
- And who can forget Parmesan Wayne?
- Parme-John Wayne?
It was a cheese grater
shaped like a cowboy.
All right, actually that's
kind of a good idea.
The Hey-K-47.
The Hey-K-47 was
supposed to fire
anytime you said "Hey."
Hey!
I mean, if Fat
Albert came on TV,
everyone would
have to duck for cover.
- Hey, it's...
- Do you want my opinion?
Hit me with it.
It's the dumbest thing
I've ever seen in my life.
You're not thinking this through.
I didn't even tell you the best part.
You know what
this is made out of?
You better not have cut up
one of our shirts to do that.
One of them? No,
this was the prototype.
- It took me ten.
- Are you kidding?
Look. You got a warehouse
full of free T-shirts, okay?
They're not free
T-shirts! I buy them!
Look. We're gonna make
a bunch of money on this.
- It takes money to make money.
- Yeah.
- Godwin...
- It takes money to make money.
You should say that
tonight. Do not forget that.
What y'all got going on tonight?
- Nothing.
- It's a thing for my class. Like...
Sadie... We're supposed to
get a businessman to come in,
- so Dad's doing our business...
- Oh, he's doing the lecture?
- Yeah.
- Sadie!
- I'll be there.
- Never tell him
any future plans that you have.
Look. I'm trying to
start a business here,
so I might learn something
here from what you got to say.
- Never tell him where you're going.
- Yeah, I'll be there.
All right. Thank you.
I'm not interested.
Come on, Godwin. We gotta
go work on some more shirts.
Do not cut any
more of my T-shirts!
Hey, I'll see you tonight
at the business class.
I might actually
learn something.
Okay, Reed, we're going
to go change real quick.
We'll meet you downstairs. Okay?
- All right. Hurry.
- All right, I love you.
Love you too.
Dear Lord, thank You for
this day that You've given us,
and, Lord, I just pray for
mine and Brighton's marriage,
Lord, and I pray that we always...
We always make it through,
and we always rely on You
for everything we need, Lord.
And thank You for everything
that You've given us,
and in Jesus' name
we pray. Amen.
I'm ready.
The plan is, we're
going to pretend
to take family
photos in the park.
We're now walking
to Central Park
for the proposal.
- Stay tuned for more news.
- Stay tuned.
For more happy, exciting news.
My heart is pounding
out of my chest.
I've got a photographer set up
so she doesn't expect anything.
We just want to get
a few pictures, so...
- Yeah.
- A group one?
Yeah.
I'm going to ask
Brighton to turn around
and point at a building
to take a picture,
and when she turns back around,
I'll be on one knee.
I am so nervous.
Yeah, Reed, you should
get one with Brighton.
Yeah.
Oh, that's pretty.
- The lighting is awesome.
- Okay. Thanks.
- Okay.
- Wait, Brighton.
I want to take a picture of
you. Turn around and look.
Turn around and look,
like, point that way.
Okay, that's good.
You can turn back around.
- Reed!
- Brighton, will you marry me?
- Yes.
- Yay. I love y'all.
Yeah.
I think I'm going to cry.
Jase, you heard anything yet?
Nope.
- Hm.
- It takes a while to find buried treasure.
There he is.
All right, here we go.
- Reed.
- Hey, Dad.
- All right, go ahead and break it to me.
- Baa.
- All right, she said yes.
- Yes!
- Yes.
- Brighton, he could not have done better.
Hm. Thank you.
Yeah, no doubt about it.
All right, well,
I'm happy for y'all.
- Yes, sir, thank you.
- Thank you.
All right, love y'all.
- Love you, too.
- Love you.
- All right. Bye.
- Bye.
I noticed you said that Reed
couldn't have done any better.
Do you think
Brighton could have?
There you go. There you go.
A small part of me is
actually regretting the fact
that I'm missing what's
happening in New York City.
And even though Reed didn't go
with my idea about the metal detector,
his proposal was pretty awesome.
You thought you'd
got rid of a son. Nope.
All you've done is
gained a daughter-in-law.
- I gained a daughter-in-law.
- They're moving in your house.
Once they sign the dotted line,
my financial obligation is...
Just getting started.
That's right.
It's done.
I guess it is possible that
proposing on a bridge in Central Park
is better than digging
in a pot to find your ring.
Okay. When I proposed to Missy,
it could've been
a little better.
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna throw a party
when they get back.
- It'll be a surprise party.
- See, now you're thinking.
The last party I planned was
probably back in the early '80s.
Yeah.
I don't wanna make you feel old,
but I wasn't even
born in the early '80s.
All right.
The '80s was just a blur for me.
Beard-a-flage!
Hey, guys, I'm Willie Robertson,
and it's an honor to
be invited to come back
and share a little wisdom
with you about business.
One of the most important things about
business is actually selling a product.
So, uh, do I have any
volunteers to sell me something?
Sadie, thank you. Come on down.
Okay.
Sadie, I have here an eraser.
- Okay. Okay.
- Why do I need that eraser?
It's durable, it's affordable, and it's the
best eraser you will ever come across.
- I just don't think I need that eraser.
- Okay.
Nah, nah, nah, nah. Do
not take no for an answer.
- You're gonna refuse to hear "no."
- Okay.
Um, actually, new data suggests
that the time spent trying
to change a "no" to a "yes"
can actually, um, equate
to a sizable opportunity cost.
Look, it turns out old Willie's
wasting everybody's time, all right?
But, hey, yours truly...
I'm fixin' to fix that.
Somebody's been Googling stuff.
I don't think that I agree with that.
Si, what are you doing up here?
- Do you wanna buy this eraser?
- I don't know. Let me see.
- Yeah, I do. I need this eraser.
- Si...
Hey, I'm fixin' to
give these students
a real-life lesson in sales.
And I'm not gonna take no for
an answer. Unless the question is:
has there ever been a better
product than Beard-a-flage?
And the answer to that is no!
Si, I'm the teacher,
and I'm telling you...
Actually, I'm the teacher.
And let's hear him out.
What we need is Beard-a-flage.
I'm going to sit down.
Si, nobody wants to
hear this stupid idea.
Yeah, they do. Hello, students.
My name is Si Robertson.
- I'm an inventor.
- He's got the entrepreneurial spirit.
And look, I'm
looking for investors
to invest in my,
uh, Beard-a-flage.
And if anybody wants to
buy this one... Look, 39.95.
- Si.
- 'Cause, look,
I got a warehouse
full of T-shirts.
- I can make another prototype.
- Si.
- What?
- You do not have a warehouse
- full of T-shirts.
- Sure, I do.
Here. Here's 20
bucks. I just bought this.
- We're done. You can sit down.
- All right. All right.
Thank you.
All right. Are there
any more questions?
Si.
How do you manufacture
1,000 of just what
I just sold you?
Whoa! That's cold!
Willie, I'm gonna give you
one more chance to
come on board with me.
All right. I'll give you $100,
but I want 51% of the company.
You've lost your mind.
I can't give up
that much equity.
Sadie, you wanna buy in?
That doesn't really apply
to me, though. I can't...
Yeah, but, look, I'm gonna
make women, you know, hey.
You just said, "I'm
gonna make women, hey."
Okay, I'll do $101 for 51%.
Boy, the lemons don't fall
far from the tree. Deal's off!
I'll just keep my company,
and, hey, when I'm a millionaire,
y'all can borrow money from me.
So I get the text that Missy, Reed,
and Brighton are almost home.
Hey, guys, they're
pulling into the driveway.
All right. I'm gonna get 'em
and bring 'em out here, all right?
Usually, when I'm hiding and
waiting to surprise something,
I'm fixin' to put that
on the dinner table.
But this could
be pretty fun, too,
and a little nerve-racking.
- Hallelujah. We are home.
- Congratulations!
- Thank you.
- I got it, I got it,
- I got it.
- Reed. Hey. You did it.
- Brighton, welcome aboard.
- Thank you.
Mostly, they're probably
gonna be impressed
that I planned a party at all.
Come out here. I wanna
show you something. See, look.
Babe, I need to...
Surprise!
Good news! So excited!
- Another wedding. Congratulations.
- Thank you.
I'm legitimately shocked that my
dad threw us an engagement party.
He's really not the party
type, or the surprise type.
- Did y'all know? You didn't know?
- No, we didn't know.
Really? Aw, Daddy did good.
Just wait. He might have us dig
up the cake from the backyard.
Everybody gather up here.
I got a little presentation,
and what I need
everybody to do...
Everybody, including you, Si...
Is close their eyes.
Keep your eyes shut.
All right. You can
open your eyes.
Wait.
- Ahhh!
- What are you doing?
Reed taught me something
throughout this process,
and I realized that
my original proposal...
Don't cry, babe.
My original proposal
could've been better.
So, after 25 years...
I love you.
Will you give me another 25?
Yes.
- I can't believe you did this.
- She said yes!
Aww!
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Reed.
- You took me totally off guard.
- Well, that was the plan.
For you to plan all of that
for Reed and Brighton,
and then for me...
Babe, that's every
girl's dream...
To look down and see
their man on one knee.
I was baring my soul here.
So it wasn't easy.
So, now maybe we can quit
talking about my original proposal.
- I made that right.
- Deal. That's a deal.
It's a key thing in marriage.
You gotta make adjustments.
- So I made one.
- Thank you. Thank you.
I've been married to the
same woman for 25 years,
and I'm happier now than I
was at any time in the process.
Thanks for saying yes.
All right. Let's pray.
Father, we love You.
We're so grateful
for all the things
You do in our lives,
and all the blessings.
And right now, we're just
grateful for Reed and Brighton
and the relationship
that they have begun.
And, Father, we ask You to
bless 'em throughout their marriage.
- Through Jesus we pray. Amen.
- Amen.
- All right. Let's eat some ribs.
- Let's get on those ribs!
The great thing about
a family as big as ours
is you learn a lot from
multiple generations.
While it's a ridiculous
idea, I have to admit,
Si taught me you're never too old to
create something new and different.
And even though Reed is
just now getting engaged,
I think he taught Jase a
thing or two about romance.
Or at least that digging
through the dirt of a potted plant
to find your engagement
ring ain't exactly romantic.
I'm completely surprised.
How'd this happen?
The more I started thinking
about Reed's proposal,
I thought, "My proposal
was pretty weak."
I made you get your hands dirty.
I've never heard
you admit this before.
I know. It just kind of
hit me. I don't know.
Here. You got
barbecue in your beard.
Get it.
Mmm. Barbecue-flavored lips.
Um, I'm a little bit nervous.
It's funny. I can
sing in front of people
and just not even care at all,
but my stomach is in knots.
I'm nervous. I just want it
to go off without problems.
- We put too much planning into this.
- Yeah.
The kids and I are here
with Reed in New York City
because he is about to
propose to his girlfriend, Brighton.
I liked Brighton
since eighth grade,
and I liked her ever since.
We were, like, "best friends."
I was friends and
it was so hard,
and I was, like, the best
friend that had a crush on,
- you know, like in the movies.
- That's true.
I can't wait for
this to be over.
Unless she says no.
Then the plane ride home
might not be too much fun.
She has no idea, none.
He's just praying that
he says yes. Right?
I just want it to be
good for her, you know,
because I could just do
it at the house, you know.
"Hey, let's get married."
You know? Like...
Yeah, no.
I mean, look. In the backyard
would be more romantic
than how Jase proposed to me.
- Yeah.
- No, no.
- No, it's gotta be better than that.
- But...
So it's Christmas Eve.
Jase brings me to the front
room of his grandparents' house
to give me my present,
and it's a potted plant.
And he says, "Dig
around in the dirt.
Your present's in the pot."
Brighton will have
this memory, and Reed,
- for the rest of their lives.
- Yeah.
Just like I have the memory
of my proposal
from Jase.
Okay, I'm a little annoyed,
but I start digging around,
and I feel something.
So I pull it out,
and it's a box.
So I open it up, and of
course it's an engagement ring.
And I'm stunned,
and he says,
"Well, you're gonna
marry me, aren't ya?"
And that's our proposal story.
It's funny how everything
is just kind of, like,
working to perfection almost.
It's almost too good to be
true. I don't wanna jinx it first.
Well, I think I can see
how God is working.
Jase and I got married so young.
I was still in high school.
Even though it was hard, I know
that God put him in my life at that time,
and so I feel the same way
about Reed and Brighton.
Thank you for always
supporting me in everything.
I love you.
Love you too, Mom.
Can't cry, because then Brighton
will be like, "What the heck?"
Too late.
I'm redoing my makeup.
Hmm.
Well, today is the day.
At any moment, Reed's
proposing to Brighton.
But I have the perfect
idea for what he should do.
- It ain't what you done, is it?
- No.
But it's kind of taking what
I did and making it better.
Oh, good grief. 'Cause I realize
where I could've made it better.
While my proposal had
many great qualities...
I took the ring. I buried
it in a little potted plant.
That's the stupidest
thing I've ever heard of.
It was not the most
romantic proposal possible.
Mine was not good either.
My engagement story was awesome.
We were at Mom and Dad's, and
we're sitting there, laying on the bed,
and I was just, like,
"Why don't we just get
married, like, tomorrow?"
- So she was... "All right."
- That's it?
Hey. There you go.
There's a man who
knows what to do.
- "You want to marry me?"
- You like that?
Short, sweet, and to the point.
But after hearing these guys and
their less-than-stellar proposals...
I took Paula squirrel hunting.
I have the greatest proposal
in this duck call room.
Me and the woman went
to the restaurant, and I said,
"Hey, we gonna
get hitched or not?"
You know? And she said, "No."
Eight hours later,
she finally said yes.
- Eight hours later?
- Yeah.
Was this a proposal, or
was this an interrogation?
It's a shock
that any of these
guys are married.
- There he is. Reed?
- Hi, Dad.
- Have you asked her yet?
- No, I haven't.
We're... We're going to in
probably about 45 minutes.
- Look, I got an idea.
- Oh, no.
I know this will work.
- I'd love to hear this.
- Go buy a metal detector.
- No.
- Nope.
- No.
- No!
Go to Central
Park and dig a hole.
Might find a body.
- That'd ruin everything.
- It would.
Put the ring in it.
What's your deal
with burying stuff?
No, I'd rather not
start a tradition
of digging in the dirt.
Jase has tried to convince
me for the last 25 years
that his proposal
was a work of art.
So it's still like a
flowerpot proposal.
Just the flowerpot got bigger.
This isn't flower pots.
This is Central Park!
Jase is either the Vincent Van
Gogh of marriage proposals...
- Dig a hole.
- Or he's just a stubborn redneck
who made his then
girlfriend dig in a pot of dirt.
But at least there
was a ring in it
and not an ear.
- Move on. Move on.
- All right, well,
I love you. Be strong
and courageous.
- Love you, too, Dad.
- All right, bye, babe.
- I hope it works out.
- Yes, sir.
- All right, bye.
- Bye.
Well, I tried.
Digging in the dirt? Really?
Who doesn't like
to dig in the dirt?
Um, adults.
Was there ever
pirates in New York?
Y'all are missing my point here.
You might find treasure before
you find a ring, and get rich.
I didn't even get
to the end of it.
- You lost me at digging in the dirt.
- That's right.
Women want an
innovator. They want a pi...
- Pirate?
- No.
- They want a pioneer.
- Hey, speaking about that,
you guys got an innovator
right here with y'all.
- What in the world?
- What is that?
I ain't quite got the band
worked out on it yet, boys.
Yeah.
Camouflage your beard.
- You snapped.
- I what?
- Done. You're done here.
- No. No, I ain't done with.
I got a meeting
at 3:00 with Willie.
- Willie's not going to like that.
- Sure he'll like it.
- No, he's not.
- Did you buy that T-shirt?
Look, to make an omelet,
you've got to crack an egg.
Dad, do you know
anything about bell curves?
Well, there's a certain
curve in business
that... will...
curve... Somehow it curves.
So, since you're
so good at business,
my teacher said that if we
get a local businessperson
to come speak in class,
then we get extra credit.
And that would be awesome,
because I really need it.
When do they want me to come?
- Tonight.
- Sadie,
why don't you give me
a little heads-up here?
- Yeah, but...
- Y'all need to take a class on scheduling.
Business 101...
Set up a schedule.
Willie, we still
good for our 3:30?
- Can we do it tomorrow?
- You had a meeting with me scheduled.
You just said scheduling
is, like, key to business.
- Yeah. Come on, bring it in.
- Si...
Why is Godwin in my office?
Why is he setting up an easel?
- That's part of the presentation.
- I don't have time to hear...
Have you ever wondered
why, when we're duck hunting,
I'm not killing much?
I think it's kind of
obvious. You can't shoot.
- No, it ain't that. Look, hey.
- You can't see. You can't hear.
Just to help the
sales pitch, okay,
it works better
when you say yes.
- Well, that's not a sales pitch.
- Look, the answer is yes.
If you're giving a sales pitch,
you can't tell me what to say.
Have you ever wondered why I'm not
killing any ducks when we're hunting?
- Si, I never think about that.
- I knew you was wondering.
- Si...
- The reason
- is they're seeing this white beard.
- I'm sure it is.
Look. Turn my sign around.
Dun, dun, dun dun!
- Beard-a-flage!
- Beard-a-flage!
Hey, like many geniuses, okay,
my brilliance is underappreciated.
Willie's never jumped on board
about any of my ideals in the past.
Help me help you
make some big money.
- Si...
- Every time I touch this, all I hear is
cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching.
Look, I've pitched plenty
of brilliant ideals, okay?
For example, Pitch Purr-fect.
He taped a
microphone to his cat.
- And who can forget Parmesan Wayne?
- Parme-John Wayne?
It was a cheese grater
shaped like a cowboy.
All right, actually that's
kind of a good idea.
The Hey-K-47.
The Hey-K-47 was
supposed to fire
anytime you said "Hey."
Hey!
I mean, if Fat
Albert came on TV,
everyone would
have to duck for cover.
- Hey, it's...
- Do you want my opinion?
Hit me with it.
It's the dumbest thing
I've ever seen in my life.
You're not thinking this through.
I didn't even tell you the best part.
You know what
this is made out of?
You better not have cut up
one of our shirts to do that.
One of them? No,
this was the prototype.
- It took me ten.
- Are you kidding?
Look. You got a warehouse
full of free T-shirts, okay?
They're not free
T-shirts! I buy them!
Look. We're gonna make
a bunch of money on this.
- It takes money to make money.
- Yeah.
- Godwin...
- It takes money to make money.
You should say that
tonight. Do not forget that.
What y'all got going on tonight?
- Nothing.
- It's a thing for my class. Like...
Sadie... We're supposed to
get a businessman to come in,
- so Dad's doing our business...
- Oh, he's doing the lecture?
- Yeah.
- Sadie!
- I'll be there.
- Never tell him
any future plans that you have.
Look. I'm trying to
start a business here,
so I might learn something
here from what you got to say.
- Never tell him where you're going.
- Yeah, I'll be there.
All right. Thank you.
I'm not interested.
Come on, Godwin. We gotta
go work on some more shirts.
Do not cut any
more of my T-shirts!
Hey, I'll see you tonight
at the business class.
I might actually
learn something.
Okay, Reed, we're going
to go change real quick.
We'll meet you downstairs. Okay?
- All right. Hurry.
- All right, I love you.
Love you too.
Dear Lord, thank You for
this day that You've given us,
and, Lord, I just pray for
mine and Brighton's marriage,
Lord, and I pray that we always...
We always make it through,
and we always rely on You
for everything we need, Lord.
And thank You for everything
that You've given us,
and in Jesus' name
we pray. Amen.
I'm ready.
The plan is, we're
going to pretend
to take family
photos in the park.
We're now walking
to Central Park
for the proposal.
- Stay tuned for more news.
- Stay tuned.
For more happy, exciting news.
My heart is pounding
out of my chest.
I've got a photographer set up
so she doesn't expect anything.
We just want to get
a few pictures, so...
- Yeah.
- A group one?
Yeah.
I'm going to ask
Brighton to turn around
and point at a building
to take a picture,
and when she turns back around,
I'll be on one knee.
I am so nervous.
Yeah, Reed, you should
get one with Brighton.
Yeah.
Oh, that's pretty.
- The lighting is awesome.
- Okay. Thanks.
- Okay.
- Wait, Brighton.
I want to take a picture of
you. Turn around and look.
Turn around and look,
like, point that way.
Okay, that's good.
You can turn back around.
- Reed!
- Brighton, will you marry me?
- Yes.
- Yay. I love y'all.
Yeah.
I think I'm going to cry.
Jase, you heard anything yet?
Nope.
- Hm.
- It takes a while to find buried treasure.
There he is.
All right, here we go.
- Reed.
- Hey, Dad.
- All right, go ahead and break it to me.
- Baa.
- All right, she said yes.
- Yes!
- Yes.
- Brighton, he could not have done better.
Hm. Thank you.
Yeah, no doubt about it.
All right, well,
I'm happy for y'all.
- Yes, sir, thank you.
- Thank you.
All right, love y'all.
- Love you, too.
- Love you.
- All right. Bye.
- Bye.
I noticed you said that Reed
couldn't have done any better.
Do you think
Brighton could have?
There you go. There you go.
A small part of me is
actually regretting the fact
that I'm missing what's
happening in New York City.
And even though Reed didn't go
with my idea about the metal detector,
his proposal was pretty awesome.
You thought you'd
got rid of a son. Nope.
All you've done is
gained a daughter-in-law.
- I gained a daughter-in-law.
- They're moving in your house.
Once they sign the dotted line,
my financial obligation is...
Just getting started.
That's right.
It's done.
I guess it is possible that
proposing on a bridge in Central Park
is better than digging
in a pot to find your ring.
Okay. When I proposed to Missy,
it could've been
a little better.
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna throw a party
when they get back.
- It'll be a surprise party.
- See, now you're thinking.
The last party I planned was
probably back in the early '80s.
Yeah.
I don't wanna make you feel old,
but I wasn't even
born in the early '80s.
All right.
The '80s was just a blur for me.
Beard-a-flage!
Hey, guys, I'm Willie Robertson,
and it's an honor to
be invited to come back
and share a little wisdom
with you about business.
One of the most important things about
business is actually selling a product.
So, uh, do I have any
volunteers to sell me something?
Sadie, thank you. Come on down.
Okay.
Sadie, I have here an eraser.
- Okay. Okay.
- Why do I need that eraser?
It's durable, it's affordable, and it's the
best eraser you will ever come across.
- I just don't think I need that eraser.
- Okay.
Nah, nah, nah, nah. Do
not take no for an answer.
- You're gonna refuse to hear "no."
- Okay.
Um, actually, new data suggests
that the time spent trying
to change a "no" to a "yes"
can actually, um, equate
to a sizable opportunity cost.
Look, it turns out old Willie's
wasting everybody's time, all right?
But, hey, yours truly...
I'm fixin' to fix that.
Somebody's been Googling stuff.
I don't think that I agree with that.
Si, what are you doing up here?
- Do you wanna buy this eraser?
- I don't know. Let me see.
- Yeah, I do. I need this eraser.
- Si...
Hey, I'm fixin' to
give these students
a real-life lesson in sales.
And I'm not gonna take no for
an answer. Unless the question is:
has there ever been a better
product than Beard-a-flage?
And the answer to that is no!
Si, I'm the teacher,
and I'm telling you...
Actually, I'm the teacher.
And let's hear him out.
What we need is Beard-a-flage.
I'm going to sit down.
Si, nobody wants to
hear this stupid idea.
Yeah, they do. Hello, students.
My name is Si Robertson.
- I'm an inventor.
- He's got the entrepreneurial spirit.
And look, I'm
looking for investors
to invest in my,
uh, Beard-a-flage.
And if anybody wants to
buy this one... Look, 39.95.
- Si.
- 'Cause, look,
I got a warehouse
full of T-shirts.
- I can make another prototype.
- Si.
- What?
- You do not have a warehouse
- full of T-shirts.
- Sure, I do.
Here. Here's 20
bucks. I just bought this.
- We're done. You can sit down.
- All right. All right.
Thank you.
All right. Are there
any more questions?
Si.
How do you manufacture
1,000 of just what
I just sold you?
Whoa! That's cold!
Willie, I'm gonna give you
one more chance to
come on board with me.
All right. I'll give you $100,
but I want 51% of the company.
You've lost your mind.
I can't give up
that much equity.
Sadie, you wanna buy in?
That doesn't really apply
to me, though. I can't...
Yeah, but, look, I'm gonna
make women, you know, hey.
You just said, "I'm
gonna make women, hey."
Okay, I'll do $101 for 51%.
Boy, the lemons don't fall
far from the tree. Deal's off!
I'll just keep my company,
and, hey, when I'm a millionaire,
y'all can borrow money from me.
So I get the text that Missy, Reed,
and Brighton are almost home.
Hey, guys, they're
pulling into the driveway.
All right. I'm gonna get 'em
and bring 'em out here, all right?
Usually, when I'm hiding and
waiting to surprise something,
I'm fixin' to put that
on the dinner table.
But this could
be pretty fun, too,
and a little nerve-racking.
- Hallelujah. We are home.
- Congratulations!
- Thank you.
- I got it, I got it,
- I got it.
- Reed. Hey. You did it.
- Brighton, welcome aboard.
- Thank you.
Mostly, they're probably
gonna be impressed
that I planned a party at all.
Come out here. I wanna
show you something. See, look.
Babe, I need to...
Surprise!
Good news! So excited!
- Another wedding. Congratulations.
- Thank you.
I'm legitimately shocked that my
dad threw us an engagement party.
He's really not the party
type, or the surprise type.
- Did y'all know? You didn't know?
- No, we didn't know.
Really? Aw, Daddy did good.
Just wait. He might have us dig
up the cake from the backyard.
Everybody gather up here.
I got a little presentation,
and what I need
everybody to do...
Everybody, including you, Si...
Is close their eyes.
Keep your eyes shut.
All right. You can
open your eyes.
Wait.
- Ahhh!
- What are you doing?
Reed taught me something
throughout this process,
and I realized that
my original proposal...
Don't cry, babe.
My original proposal
could've been better.
So, after 25 years...
I love you.
Will you give me another 25?
Yes.
- I can't believe you did this.
- She said yes!
Aww!
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Reed.
- You took me totally off guard.
- Well, that was the plan.
For you to plan all of that
for Reed and Brighton,
and then for me...
Babe, that's every
girl's dream...
To look down and see
their man on one knee.
I was baring my soul here.
So it wasn't easy.
So, now maybe we can quit
talking about my original proposal.
- I made that right.
- Deal. That's a deal.
It's a key thing in marriage.
You gotta make adjustments.
- So I made one.
- Thank you. Thank you.
I've been married to the
same woman for 25 years,
and I'm happier now than I
was at any time in the process.
Thanks for saying yes.
All right. Let's pray.
Father, we love You.
We're so grateful
for all the things
You do in our lives,
and all the blessings.
And right now, we're just
grateful for Reed and Brighton
and the relationship
that they have begun.
And, Father, we ask You to
bless 'em throughout their marriage.
- Through Jesus we pray. Amen.
- Amen.
- All right. Let's eat some ribs.
- Let's get on those ribs!
The great thing about
a family as big as ours
is you learn a lot from
multiple generations.
While it's a ridiculous
idea, I have to admit,
Si taught me you're never too old to
create something new and different.
And even though Reed is
just now getting engaged,
I think he taught Jase a
thing or two about romance.
Or at least that digging
through the dirt of a potted plant
to find your engagement
ring ain't exactly romantic.
I'm completely surprised.
How'd this happen?
The more I started thinking
about Reed's proposal,
I thought, "My proposal
was pretty weak."
I made you get your hands dirty.
I've never heard
you admit this before.
I know. It just kind of
hit me. I don't know.
Here. You got
barbecue in your beard.
Get it.
Mmm. Barbecue-flavored lips.
