All language subtitles for 7x14 Hal Grieves

We are not stopping until we find that smell.

Check out that black thing.

Was that even food?

I believe it was cheese at one time.

No, that's not it.

- Nope.
- No.

Hey, what about that?

Oh, God!

Isn't that the school rat

that Dewey was taking care of last summer?

- No, that's not it.
- Keep looking.

No, no, no, don't hang up. We've almost made our decision.

I get three meat toppings for the price of one.

No, no. Buy two pizzas, get one free.

That's two free cheese pizzas.

I'd rather eat vomit.

The prospect of a deal sends this family into a frenzy.

When you throw in pizza

they need me to keep from totally losing perspective.

Shut up, everyone! Just shut up! If we're not having deep-dish

then I swear I will tear up these free cheesy bread coupons

right now!

Damn your cheesy bread. I need toppings.

Why don't we just get the stuffed crust special?

And lose my free bucket of soda? Are you insane?

Now, listen, Dennis, I'm a reasonable man

but I can't go back to my family

with a lot of lawyer talk about coupon expiration dates.

So why don't we just reduce the two three-fers to two-fers?

Five toppings on each and we'll just

grandfather in the wacky wings, okay?

No, no, hold on, hold on.

This call-waiting guy will not take a hint! Hello.

I can't talk right now, I..

Yes.

What?

Dad, come on, you're gonna lose those wings.

What?

My father died.

It was weird going to Grandpa's funeral.

We hardly even knew we had a grandpa, and now we don't.

Reese is taking it really hard.

Why? Why?

Why couldn't he die before he lost all his money?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Are you sure?

It seems a little weird that the second you come home

from your father's funeral, you turn on 'Sports Bloopers.'

- Hey.
- Hal.

It is not healthy to keep all this bottled up.

I agree. I just don't have anything to un-bottle.

I mean, I thought I'd cry when I saw him in the box.

I thought I'd cry when they closed it.

I thought I'd cry when they put it in the ground

and I threw dirt on him, but nothing.

Actually, I did get a little misty listening to the funeral

we passed on the way out.

Do you know that man was the shoeshine guy

on the same corner for 40 years?

Hal, you don't have to be brave.

I'm not. You know me.

I cried at that movie about the boxing wallaby.

I remember.

I think I'm not feeling anything

because I never really had a relationship with him.

I mean, I suppose he knew my name, but he'd always

- just called me, "buddy."
- Oh, Hal.

So, now a relationship that was totally meaningless

and trivial is over.

It's hard to get too upset.

Hey, Lois. I'm returning the 'Newsweek' you lent me on Y2K.

It's okay, Abe. Hal's asleep.

Good. How's he doing?

Well, he seems to be doing fine, but he can't be.

His father just died. He got more upset

when his transmission gave out.

Well, he did just have it rebuilt.

But I know what you're saying.

Sounds like he needs to talk to someone.

Abe, thank you! I know he respects you.

Not me. I don't wanna see him cry.

He needs to talk to a professional.

- A therapist?
- No, a professional actor.

I suggest William Shatner, TV's Captain Kirk.

- What?
- That's who I turn to

in a time of need.

Lois

there's this wonderful service

where they hook up ordinary people with celebrities.

You pay a fee

and you get a phone call from your choice of participating

TV or movie stars.

Well, mostly TV stars.

And you think this is something Hal would want?

Absolutely! He's a huge fan of classic Trek.

It's not something you share with your wife.

Lois, believe me.

I don't think I would've gotten
through my social anxiety disorder

without a few late night discussions with Agent Mulder.

It turns out the truth was right in here.

Apparently, Shatner's not available.

He's being knighted.

Well, thanks for trying, Abe.

Oh, it's not over yet.

I am not going to rest until a classic TV star

puts Hal's spirit at ease.

'I know you didn't love him.'

'But this is a funeral. Don't you care?'

- 'You kidding?
- About this guy?'

'We weren't even close.'

'Check it out.'

'Now I'm happy.'

'Now I'm sad.'

'Oh, now I'm happy.'

'Boo-hoo, now I'm sad.'

'Hey, dead guy, why are you hitting yourself?'

'Who knew we could have fun with Dad?'

'That's who that is?'

'I thought it was, like, a math teacher or something.'

'Why aren't you sad?'

'Why aren't you throwing yourselves on my coffin'

'and begging to be buried instead of me?'

'Are you guys feeling as little as I am?'

'I felt sadder when my wart fell off.'

'I guess he just didn't make much of an impression on us'

'when he was alive.'

'Boys. Boys, don't go.'

'Dewey, you always loved me.'

'No, boys.'

'Don't you miss me?'

'I miss me.'

Wake up, boys. You don't want breakfast to melt.

- Ice-cream?
- Well, last time I checked

you can't have a sundae bar without it.

Wake up, Malcolm.

Dad, it's 5:00 in the morning.

Well, I couldn't sleep until my sons are as happy

as I can make them.

Today's special, every scoop comes with a hug.

And it doesn't stop here.

We've got a full day of pick-up basketball in the park

a barbecue, more ice-cream

then I thought we'd take a nap underneath a tree

and then catch fireflies.

- What about school?
- I've got that covered.

Please excuse my son. He has the flu.

Explosive diarrhea

a rare bone disease.

We may have to get you a cane.

- Cool.
- Does Mom know?

Please, will you let me worry about your mom, okay?

Seriously, though, don't tell her. Now

who wants a ride on top of the car?

Abe, I appreciate what you're trying to do

- but I'm not sure..
- Lois, do you know

what it cost me to get Leonard Nimoy's private number?

Ferengi noses don't grow on trees.

- Let's just..
- It's ringing.

- 'Hello?'
- Mr. Nimoy?

'This is he.'

We apologize for disturbing an important man like yourself.

But my friend's father just died

and he could use some sage advice from a learned actor

Director-Poet- Photographer-Vocalist.

I'm sorry, but in 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'

was Ricardo Montalban the gentlemen he seems to be?

- Because a little birdy told me..
- Abe!

'I'd be happy to help your friend.'

'It's very sad when a man loses his father.'

'I've been through loss myself.'

Oh, that's very kind of you, Mr. Nimoy.

I'm his wife.

'So will this be charged to your credit card?'

- What?
- 'Well, that's $8'

'a minute for the Nimoy.'

'And for another five, I'll leave an outgoing message'

'on your answering machine as Mr. Bob Hope.'

'How about that Brooke Shields?'

'She's got legs that go all the way down to the ground.'

- 'I gotta tell you..'
- Wow!

Nimoy's Bob Hope is great.

Is there nothing the man can't do?

- Hey.
- You doing okay?

Oh, yeah, you know, I'll drop the kids off at school.

Maybe look through a photo album.

Well, that's what bereavement days are for.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

Okay!

Clear shot to the refrigerator. Who's gonna stop me?

Nice.

Pudding!

It's your mother.

Hurry! come on.

Oh, hi, honey.

God, I hate school.

What's to eat in this dump?

Good night, boys.

- Good night, Dad.
- What a day. Memorable, huh?

And if you thought today was fun

tomorrow's gonna make it look like garbage.

Quick question.

If I died in my sleep tonight, who'd be sad?

- I would!
- Me! Me!

Sure. Of course we'd be sad.

You boys have just earned some s'mores. Back in a jiff.

Wait, Dad.

You don't have to do this.

I think I know what's going on.

- If you want to talk about stuff..
- Malcolm

all I'm interested in right now

is filling your bellies with marshmallow-y goodness.

- But, Dad..
- Don't worry.

I'll make yours double thick.

This is so awesome.

Yeah. I don't know what alien worm burrowed into Dad's brain.

but I'd like to shake its hand.

Don't you guys see what's going on?

This is all because of grandpa.

Ever since he died, Dad's been feeling bad

because he doesn't miss him enough.

So now he's trying to compensate by bonding with us.

That's just a lot of fancy language for all you can eat s'mores.

This isn't fun and games, Reese.

He's got a real emotional problem.

You think Dad could really be doing this to buy our love?

I guess.

I say we squeeze him for all he's got.

It's the least we could do for him.

Where's Dad?

It was weird.

I got up early this morning and found him

sitting at the kitchen table

looking at a picture of him and grandpa

with this peaceful smile on his face.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Then he said he really worked some things out last night.

And then he just took off for work.

Wow.

Hey, get your greedy mitts off my lunch!

I was just moving it to get to my lunch.

What lunch?

Later.

God.

Get off me!

Found you!

Hey! Well, you have to admit it was pretty good hiding place.

- I was in there for over an hour.
- I helped.

And you should share the prize.

Hey, where's Malcolm?

He had to go to school.

Yeah, he said this was stupid.

Too bad. I guess he misses out on Motocross!

Sweet!

I mean, I guess it's okay.

Come on. It'll be better than yesterday.

What was yesterday?

I can't quite remember. Can you, Dewey?

I knocked you into pudding.

I guess the problem with memories is they fade.

Especially in the minds of young people

that are scrambled with video games and death metal.

I can barely remember my own name.

Hey, you know what doesn't fade?

Things.

Like these pants.

I can still remember the crisp September day

when Mom gave them to us.

She had a little lipstick on her upper tooth.

- Her eyes crinkled.
- She smelled like lilacs.

Hey, you know what?

I can get you things.

I don't know.

You'd have to drive us to some kind of mall or something.

You boys go get in the car.

I'm gonna call the credit card
company and have them up my limit.

Taken care of.

Nice.

It's just a shame I'll have to catch it with a dirty mitt.

I wanna remember how great you are in spring

summer, fall and winter, too.

Wow, Dad! You bought the whole store.

Nobody's got a better dad than us.

Except Joe Garoogian.

Dewey! You don't deserve to remember how good Dad is.

You only deserve to remember me whacking the crap out of you.

Not so fast, Reese.

The boy's just being honest. And now tell me

what is it about this Joe's father that's so great?

His dad's vice president of an electronics company.

He can get any type of TV, video game or stereo he wants.

Is there an electronics store near here?

Tech Boys on Willow.

Price Town's closer, but they have crap for high-def.

I've got something for Hal that I think may do the trick.

Abe, I thought we were done with this.

I thought we were, too, Lois.

Until 3 o'clock this morning.

When I found myself in a collectibles auction site

and saw this baby.

Yes, it's a Vulcan lyre.

With 10 preprogrammed Christmas carols.

Abe, I'm sorry. I know you're trying to help

but this is not what Hal needs.

You're right.

I guess I got carried away and lost sight

of what got us started in the first place.

to hook Hal up with a member of
the original cast of 'Star Trek.'

That's not what got this started.

Abe, Hal's father died.

And I will not let him die in vain.

I will call Sulu.

I will call Chekhov.

And if they say no, so help me.

I will call the Gordon.

Abe, stop, just stop.

I appreciate you trying to help, but I don't need any of this.

I'm gonna take Hal to a bed and breakfast

for a nice weekend, and that's it.

He just needs some emotional comfort.

So you think a weekend of nurturing and sex

is going to get him through this?

Do you even know this man?

What the hell's all this?

It turns out Dad still had some grieving left to do.

I can't believe you.

You lied to me and you totally took advantage of him.

I don't see it that way.

They say money can't buy love.

But they're wrong. I'm actually starting to love Dad.

Now I'm not saying somebody couldn't come along and outbid him.

But right now, he's the front-runner.

You can't do this.

This is wrong.

You're giving all this back.

Who are you to question his process?

Reese, he's crazy.

Mom's crazy.

But she's the kind of crazy

where all she does is yell at us and punish.

Now Dad's crazy in a way where he buys us an Xbox 360.

And you want to mess with that?

You're just afraid of happiness, Malcolm.

You can delude yourself all you want.

All this is going back to the store.

Hey, give that back.

- You had your chance.
- Reese, this is over.

This is the only good thing that's ever happened around here

- and you're ruining it!
- Boys! What are you doing?

Today's a happy day.

You're supposed to remember this the rest of your lives.

I need to talk to you, Dad.

Dad, if you love us, don't listen to him.

Look at what you're doing.

Look at the money you're spending.

Look at the reason why you're spending it.

Something is very wrong.

I hear you, Malcolm.

I mean, I understand that things have gotten a little

unbalanced and, and I know what I need to do.

Thank God.

I'm going to buy you a car.

It's moments like this that really define character.

I love you, Daddy!

No, it's not our honeymoon

but I would like the honeymoon suite.

What?

No, that must be a mistake.

My credit card can't be maxed out. I just paid the bill.

Reese!

Get me out of this.

Malcolm's getting a car.

We only did this so Dad wouldn't
buy us something more expensive.

I miss grandpa.

I know this is wrong.

But somehow my body's just not doing anything to stop it.

Maybe that means at some level, I don't even know it's wrong.

And if I don't know if it's wrong

then I can't get blamed for doing it. Right?

Now, the high-tech package

comes with a CG rearview imaging system

a GPS and a DVD.

I don't absolutely need a DVD player.

Sure you do, Malcolm.

Every time you stop at a red light

I want you watching movies, thinking of your dad.

- What else have we got?
- Want the sports package?

It's like asking if we want doors.

There it is.

Every option we offer, including some I didn't even know about.

Floor mats have undercoating.

Comes with a 14 year warranty. We don't sell many of those.

All it needs

- is your signature.
- All right.

What?

My dad had the same pen.

He must've been a great guy. This is a great pen.

We don't really need to get into that right now.

- See, I just lost my dad.
- I'm sorry.

Bet he would've loved to have seen his grandson

driving that sports pack.

You know

I-I don't know if he would have.

He was pretty emotionally distant.

He had a lot of trouble showing love.

Yeah.

Old-timers, eh?

But I didn't care.

I didn't care if he had trouble.

I loved him.

He was my dad.

You know, I see that you're in a lot of pain right now.

I'm gonna need some grief counseling, too

if I let you take me up on this offer I'm giving you.

I remember coming downstairs in the morning

and he would be at the table and he would say, "Hey, buddy

I'm doing four things at once.

I'm watching TV, I'm reading the newspaper

I'm drinking coffee, and I'm talking to you.

Isn't that amazing?

You know, I got a guy whose wife died

who's looking at this car, so..

He didn't have to do anything for me.

He was my dad.

Dad.

You don't have to do anything for me, either.

But if you want to, that'd be great.

I lost my dad.

I know.

Hello?

I'm George Takei.

I played Sulu on 'Star Trek.'

Did your grandfather die recently?

- Yes.
- Allow me to extend

my deepest condolences.

I got a call from a neighbor

that your father might like to talk to me.

And when I called back, the line was busy.

So I decided to come over.

It was a six-hour bus ride with a lot of stops.

May I have some water, please?

Sorry, my parents aren't home.

But you can use the hose out front.

Delightful.

If you don't mind, I'll make camp on your front lawn

in anticipation of their return.

my stock and trade.

In episode 18, 'The Squire of Gothos.'

the script read

the crew ad-libs, hello.

Well, I was off to the races.

Well, I've got a lot of homework.

Mushrooms.

May I help myself?
