1
00:00:03,737 --> 00:00:05,237
Still peeling potatoes?
2
00:00:05,339 --> 00:00:07,339
Potato.
3
00:00:07,441 --> 00:00:11,410
Takes longer to peel these
things than it does to grow them.
4
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:14,946
Wow. I'm surprised you haven't
developed the Power Peeler.
5
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:18,517
Hey.
6
00:00:20,387 --> 00:00:21,453
Hi.
7
00:00:21,555 --> 00:00:23,622
- Hi.
- Great news.
8
00:00:23,724 --> 00:00:28,293
I got accepted in a
special program at school.
9
00:00:28,395 --> 00:00:30,373
I'm gonna be
counseling families.
10
00:00:30,397 --> 00:00:32,664
Well, congratulations, Jill.
11
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:34,233
I am so excited.
12
00:00:34,335 --> 00:00:37,602
I get to implement some of these
techniques I've been studying.
13
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:40,572
If you get stuck, try my
counseling technique.
14
00:00:40,674 --> 00:00:44,442
"People, people, get over it!"
15
00:00:48,682 --> 00:00:50,660
Tim, as helpful as that is,
16
00:00:50,684 --> 00:00:53,719
I think kindness is a
more effective approach.
17
00:00:53,821 --> 00:00:56,688
- Mom, there's no food.
- I use compassion
and sensitivity
18
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:59,658
- to nurture people,
like a flower.
- Mom, Mom!
19
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:03,428
- What?
- When are you gonna
go to the store?
20
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:05,742
I'll go when I'm
good and ready to go!
21
00:01:05,766 --> 00:01:10,068
If you don't like the food in the
house, go to the store yourself or starve!
22
00:01:11,438 --> 00:01:14,339
Now, that flower you
were talking about...
23
00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:18,010
Did you say
"nurture" or "torture"?
24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,074
Use the free code JOINNOW at

25
00:02:09,163 --> 00:02:11,283
We're having
potatoes again tonight?
26
00:02:11,331 --> 00:02:13,297
Yes.
27
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,003
This electric potato peeler will take
all the hassle out of peeling potatoes.
28
00:02:18,705 --> 00:02:21,072
[engine whirring]
29
00:02:25,012 --> 00:02:26,477
[doorbell ringing]
30
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:28,180
I got it.
31
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:33,518
Hey, what's up, Ronny?
32
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:37,522
Hey, Mark, wait. Why don't
you introduce us to your friend?
33
00:02:37,624 --> 00:02:41,126
Fine. Ronny, that's my
mom. That's my dad.
34
00:02:41,228 --> 00:02:42,948
- [Jill] Hi.
- Hey, Ronny.
35
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:45,130
'Sup?
36
00:02:54,141 --> 00:02:55,706
Was that a...?
37
00:02:55,809 --> 00:02:59,144
Was that a boy wearing a dog
collar or a dog with a boy's head?
38
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:05,283
Well, I finally got my next
topic for the school paper.
39
00:03:05,385 --> 00:03:09,054
I'm gonna write about what local
companies are doing for the environment.
40
00:03:09,156 --> 00:03:12,824
- That's a fantastic idea.
- Why don't you write
about Binford?
41
00:03:12,926 --> 00:03:16,060
They've got programs.
Recycling, water conservation...
42
00:03:16,162 --> 00:03:19,564
They even tried to get
your dad to carpool with Al.
43
00:03:19,667 --> 00:03:23,435
You can only love your
planet so much, honey.
44
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:25,848
Writing about Binford
sounds like a good idea.
45
00:03:25,872 --> 00:03:29,708
I'll get you some pamphlets. They've
got a bunch on their environmental policy.
46
00:03:29,810 --> 00:03:32,243
Probably cleared a rain
forest just to print them.
47
00:03:32,346 --> 00:03:34,946
You know, Randy, I was a
social activist in high school.
48
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:37,349
I was involved in the
feminist movement.
49
00:03:37,451 --> 00:03:40,819
Went to rallies where hundreds
of women burned their bras.
50
00:03:40,921 --> 00:03:42,987
I cheered those women on.
51
00:03:47,961 --> 00:03:52,464
Well, Dad, you always have been
known for your great social conscience.
52
00:03:52,566 --> 00:03:57,001
In high school I spent eight months
trying to save an endangered species.
53
00:03:57,103 --> 00:04:00,205
- Really? Which one?
- The muscle car.
54
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:07,678
Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Hansen. I'm
Jill Taylor, your counseling intern.
55
00:04:07,781 --> 00:04:09,947
Nice to meet you.
56
00:04:10,049 --> 00:04:11,883
Well.
57
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:14,051
Before we begin,
58
00:04:14,154 --> 00:04:18,523
I'd like to talk a little bit
about my methodology.
59
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:23,628
I am an avid proponent of
emotionally-focused couples therapy,
60
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:27,999
which is founded on the belief that
couples hide their primary emotions
61
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:30,335
and instead exhibit
secondary emotions,
62
00:04:30,437 --> 00:04:33,004
which result in
negative interactions,
63
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,207
such as pursue-slash-distance,
64
00:04:35,309 --> 00:04:37,242
or blame-slash-withdraw.
65
00:04:37,344 --> 00:04:42,714
Serving as a defense against the
more vulnerable primary emotions.
66
00:04:48,588 --> 00:04:50,488
Any questions?
67
00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:53,992
Are you the only therapist
or can we get someone else?
68
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:02,140
- Hi.
- Hi.
69
00:05:08,608 --> 00:05:10,208
Potatoes again.
70
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:12,944
- You bet.
- What have you done
to my peeler?
71
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:15,580
What was once electric
is now pneumatic.
72
00:05:15,682 --> 00:05:17,582
[engine whirring]
73
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:20,685
I can shear 50 pounds
of potatoes in six seconds.
74
00:05:20,788 --> 00:05:22,353
[engine whirring]
75
00:05:27,727 --> 00:05:29,728
You must be so proud.
76
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:35,700
I have my days. How did
your first day of counseling go?
77
00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:37,368
Don't ask.
78
00:05:37,471 --> 00:05:40,505
This couple did not get that
secondary reactive emotions
79
00:05:40,607 --> 00:05:43,007
lead to negative interaction.
80
00:05:45,178 --> 00:05:47,311
Wow.
81
00:05:47,413 --> 00:05:50,949
Some people are so thick.
82
00:05:51,051 --> 00:05:55,353
Dad, I was just doing some
research on Binford for my article.
83
00:05:55,455 --> 00:05:58,615
- Did you read the pamphlets
I gave you?
- Then I got on the Internet
84
00:05:58,658 --> 00:06:02,527
and got Pollution Watcher's top
ten list for Detroit. Binford's on here.
85
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:05,062
Binford made the
top ten? All right!
86
00:06:07,133 --> 00:06:10,602
No, Dad, it's a list of the
top ten biggest polluters.
87
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:12,504
Binford?
88
00:06:12,606 --> 00:06:15,240
I didn't know Binford had
a problem with pollution.
89
00:06:15,342 --> 00:06:16,741
They don't have a problem!
90
00:06:16,843 --> 00:06:19,510
These environmentalists
tend to overreact.
91
00:06:21,248 --> 00:06:24,482
You know, just like the dentist.
92
00:06:24,584 --> 00:06:28,820
Those wussy dentists that scurry out
of the room when the X-ray goes on.
93
00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:35,260
Dad, it's right on the printout.
94
00:06:35,362 --> 00:06:39,030
You know, just because you read it
on the Internet does not make it true.
95
00:06:39,132 --> 00:06:42,634
You want to find the facts? I'll set
up an interview with Bud Harper.
96
00:06:42,736 --> 00:06:46,571
You think the president of Binford's
gonna want to meet with a kid?
97
00:06:46,673 --> 00:06:51,743
Maybe I'll remind him the kid's
father is Binford's biggest TV star.
98
00:06:51,845 --> 00:06:56,180
Who just spent a whole week inventing
the world's stupidest potato peeler.
99
00:06:59,052 --> 00:07:02,253
Get back to me with those
third quarter projections, OK?
100
00:07:02,355 --> 00:07:03,988
Yeah. OK, bye.
101
00:07:05,358 --> 00:07:07,759
- Hey, Bud.
- Hey, Tim, how's it going?
102
00:07:07,861 --> 00:07:09,461
- Pretty good. Yourself?
- Great.
103
00:07:09,563 --> 00:07:11,896
- You know my son, Randy.
- Of course, I do.
104
00:07:11,998 --> 00:07:14,299
How could I
forget the little guy?
105
00:07:14,401 --> 00:07:16,311
You still on the
soccer team, huh?
106
00:07:16,335 --> 00:07:19,103
Uh, no, that's my
older brother, Brad.
107
00:07:19,205 --> 00:07:22,473
Oh, oh, oh, you're
the karate kid.
108
00:07:22,575 --> 00:07:24,843
No, that's Mark.
109
00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:29,146
Oh. Well, what do you do?
110
00:07:29,249 --> 00:07:32,250
I'm a journalist and I have
some tough questions for you.
111
00:07:32,352 --> 00:07:35,353
You better come clean,
Bud, or your name will be mud
112
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:39,690
- in the Lakeside High Reporter.
- Oooh. We can't have that, huh?
113
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:44,529
- Can we start now?
- Well, sure.
114
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:49,034
Sure, I'll be happy to answer any
questions, young man. Have a seat.
115
00:07:50,504 --> 00:07:53,138
Well, Mr. Harper,
according to my sources...
116
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,707
According to his sources!
117
00:07:58,511 --> 00:08:00,111
[clears throat]
118
00:08:00,213 --> 00:08:03,381
According to my sources, your
company has a poor pollution record.
119
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:04,816
How do you respond?
120
00:08:04,918 --> 00:08:09,620
Son, Binford is a
responsible corporate citizen.
121
00:08:09,722 --> 00:08:14,058
We are committed to
protecting our environment.
122
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,061
Then why does Pollution
Watch call Binford, and I quote,
123
00:08:17,163 --> 00:08:19,196
"an egregious
environmental offender"?
124
00:08:19,298 --> 00:08:22,900
Why aren't you doing anything to
reduce emissions from your plants?
125
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:25,703
He's quite the little
Dickens, isn't he?
126
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:28,606
Yes, he is.
127
00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:30,775
But what the little
Dickens doesn't know is,
128
00:08:30,877 --> 00:08:34,278
we're in the planning stages of a
new emission reduction system.
129
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:36,092
But even at our present rate,
130
00:08:36,116 --> 00:08:40,885
all Binford plants fully comply
with government regulations.
131
00:08:40,987 --> 00:08:43,921
There you have it, from the
horse's mouth. No offense.
132
00:08:44,024 --> 00:08:46,324
None taken. Tim,
how's your golf game?
133
00:08:46,426 --> 00:08:47,792
Pretty good. Broke 90.
134
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:49,894
- Yeah?
- I got two golf carts.
135
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:57,501
Well, isn't it true that Binford buys
pollution credits from other companies?
136
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:00,939
- Yes, it is.
- What are pollution credits?
137
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:05,076
Each company in an industrial zone is
allotted a certain amount of emissions.
138
00:09:05,178 --> 00:09:07,846
If one company doesn't
use their entire share,
139
00:09:07,948 --> 00:09:10,614
they can sell pollution
credits to another company.
140
00:09:10,717 --> 00:09:14,052
- A good example
of corporate teamwork.
- It's corporate bull.
141
00:09:14,154 --> 00:09:17,088
Binford's found a loophole
to pollute more than it should.
142
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:19,124
- Don't you think that's sleazy?
- Wait.
143
00:09:19,226 --> 00:09:21,859
What we're doing is legal.
We won't need the credits
144
00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:24,362
once our emission
control system is in place.
145
00:09:24,464 --> 00:09:27,331
- How long's that gonna take?
- Roughly ten years.
146
00:09:27,433 --> 00:09:30,635
- Ten years? That's a joke.
- Hey, let's not be rude here.
147
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:34,005
Wait, Tim. He doesn't
understand how business works.
148
00:09:34,107 --> 00:09:37,275
You see, rushing a plan
like this could affect jobs,
149
00:09:37,377 --> 00:09:39,844
and Binford's
financial well-being.
150
00:09:39,947 --> 00:09:42,280
What about the well-being
of the environment?
151
00:09:42,382 --> 00:09:45,884
Without clean air to breathe, you
don't have customers to buy tools.
152
00:09:45,986 --> 00:09:48,753
Besides, do people really
need 14 types of hacksaws?
153
00:09:48,855 --> 00:09:50,354
People do!
154
00:09:51,891 --> 00:09:54,125
Mr. Harper, I was
always taught to believe
155
00:09:54,227 --> 00:09:56,127
that Binford was a
company that cared.
156
00:09:56,229 --> 00:09:59,731
It seems all you care about is
making money no matter who you hurt.
157
00:09:59,833 --> 00:10:01,799
I think this interview's over.
158
00:10:01,901 --> 00:10:04,135
Thank you very much
for your time, Bud.
159
00:10:04,237 --> 00:10:07,138
- Come on, come on!
- Dad!
160
00:10:09,375 --> 00:10:11,186
You were completely out of line!
161
00:10:11,210 --> 00:10:14,746
Binford's out of line, sweeping
their pollution problem under the rug,
162
00:10:14,848 --> 00:10:17,515
- so they can maximize profits.
- Quiet down, all right?
163
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:22,020
When you get older you'll understand
not everything is so cut and dry.
164
00:10:22,822 --> 00:10:24,289
I understand right now, Dad.
165
00:10:24,391 --> 00:10:26,891
You're taking the company
line. You're a sell-out.
166
00:10:26,993 --> 00:10:29,861
- You called me a sell-out?
- I called you a sell-out.
167
00:10:29,962 --> 00:10:34,132
Then again, to be a sell-out, you'd
have to have principles to begin with.
168
00:10:35,268 --> 00:10:38,136
Hey! I not only have
principles, I'm your ride home.
169
00:10:42,109 --> 00:10:44,208
I'll take public transportation.
170
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:46,978
Hey, don't use your
fancy words with me.
171
00:10:48,715 --> 00:10:50,649
It's called a bus!
172
00:10:58,859 --> 00:11:00,391
I'm going out.
173
00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:01,993
OK, have fun.
174
00:11:03,796 --> 00:11:05,730
- [whispering]
- I'll get it.
175
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,267
Ronny left his
dog collar upstairs.
176
00:11:09,368 --> 00:11:10,668
Oh.
177
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:16,607
Wouldn't want to go anywhere
without that dog collar.
178
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:20,445
They could throw
you in the pound.
179
00:11:29,556 --> 00:11:32,323
So, Ronny, what's been going on?
180
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:34,291
Stuff.
181
00:11:35,128 --> 00:11:36,660
You know, Ronny,
182
00:11:36,762 --> 00:11:40,198
I know it's difficult for
adolescents to be forthcoming
183
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:42,611
with unfamiliar
authority figures.
184
00:11:42,635 --> 00:11:46,403
It's understandable. Teenage
years are a particularly alienating time,
185
00:11:46,505 --> 00:11:48,706
you know,
developmentally speaking.
186
00:11:48,808 --> 00:11:52,310
I am the kind of person who's
interested in young people
187
00:11:52,411 --> 00:11:54,879
and willing to listen,
188
00:11:54,981 --> 00:11:59,117
in a non-judgmental,
unthreatening manner.
189
00:12:00,419 --> 00:12:01,720
Later.
190
00:12:05,892 --> 00:12:07,392
What did I say?
191
00:12:08,294 --> 00:12:10,127
Stuff.
192
00:12:12,432 --> 00:12:14,031
Later.
193
00:12:17,838 --> 00:12:19,670
- What's wrong?
- Stuff.
194
00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:24,442
Randy completely
embarrassed me in Bud's office.
195
00:12:24,544 --> 00:12:26,210
He called me a sell-out.
196
00:12:26,312 --> 00:12:29,680
That doesn't sound like Randy.
He's always so sweet and polite.
197
00:12:29,783 --> 00:12:33,083
That's over. We'd be
better off with Dog-boy.
198
00:12:35,288 --> 00:12:37,121
Hey, how was your bus ride?
199
00:12:37,223 --> 00:12:39,123
Mom, I'm going
to write my article.
200
00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:41,503
Not until you get
the facts straight!
201
00:12:41,527 --> 00:12:44,295
So, now you're telling me
what I can and can't write?
202
00:12:44,397 --> 00:12:47,198
You're acting like
some tyrannical fascist.
203
00:12:48,235 --> 00:12:50,475
Did he just call me a dinosaur?
204
00:12:55,575 --> 00:12:58,276
Where does he get off,
writing about Binford?
205
00:12:58,378 --> 00:13:01,779
- It was your idea.
- Oh, throw that in my face.
206
00:13:03,049 --> 00:13:04,849
Randy is young and idealistic.
207
00:13:04,884 --> 00:13:08,386
He's gonna get carried away
with things that are important to him.
208
00:13:08,488 --> 00:13:11,388
What if this is
just the beginning?
209
00:13:11,490 --> 00:13:14,592
What if he tells us we can't
wear leather or eat meat?
210
00:13:14,694 --> 00:13:17,494
Or he starts falling
in love with dolphins
211
00:13:17,597 --> 00:13:20,131
and he says we've got
to throw out all our tuna?
212
00:13:20,233 --> 00:13:22,499
I'll only say this
once. I love my kids.
213
00:13:22,602 --> 00:13:25,169
But I will never,
ever give up my tuna.
214
00:13:29,576 --> 00:13:30,975
Later.
215
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:38,149
[Tim muffled] Welcome
back to Tool Time
216
00:13:38,251 --> 00:13:41,752
and our entertaining look
at fiberglass and its resin.
217
00:13:41,854 --> 00:13:44,254
While we're waiting
for our resin to dry,
218
00:13:44,291 --> 00:13:47,358
why don't we go to our
question and answer section?
219
00:13:56,403 --> 00:13:58,136
All right, who has a question?
220
00:13:58,237 --> 00:14:01,238
- Yes, sir?
- Has your swimsuit
calendar come out?
221
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:05,009
It just went on sale in
the Tool Time gift shop.
222
00:14:05,111 --> 00:14:07,111
Can we wait till
after the show, fellas?
223
00:14:07,213 --> 00:14:09,213
- [men] Aw!
- Yes?
224
00:14:09,315 --> 00:14:14,551
I just put up a fence. What's the best
way to keep the wood from rotting?
225
00:14:14,653 --> 00:14:18,990
Well, you want to use a sealant
that contains copper-8-quinolinolate.
226
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:21,959
Easy to use, fun to say.
227
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:24,928
- Next question.
- I do.
228
00:14:25,031 --> 00:14:27,365
- Yes?
- I'm re-doing
my kitchen countertops.
229
00:14:27,467 --> 00:14:29,901
Can I lay the new
laminate right over the old?
230
00:14:30,003 --> 00:14:33,938
You can, as long as you prepare
the surface and the countertop is flat.
231
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,409
Or if it has a square
backsplash, just like Al.
232
00:14:38,511 --> 00:14:40,978
- Anyone else?
- I have another question.
233
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,916
What do you say about Binford being
one of the worst polluters in Detroit?
234
00:14:46,018 --> 00:14:48,987
- Where did you hear that?
- My kid brought home an article
235
00:14:49,089 --> 00:14:52,390
- from the school paper.
- I can assure you
that Binford Tools
236
00:14:52,492 --> 00:14:55,259
is an environmentally
responsible corporation.
237
00:14:55,362 --> 00:14:58,963
- Next question.
- Come clean, you bearded phony.
238
00:14:59,065 --> 00:15:00,731
Bearded phony?
239
00:15:00,833 --> 00:15:04,568
Wexlo Industries, which is
located just downriver from Binford,
240
00:15:04,671 --> 00:15:06,771
didn't have to buy
pollution credits.
241
00:15:06,873 --> 00:15:10,808
They reduced their emissions
and didn't cut one single job.
242
00:15:12,478 --> 00:15:15,780
- I just don't have the facts.
- Then, read the article.
243
00:15:15,882 --> 00:15:19,383
The facts are all right here,
in the Lakeside High Reporter.
244
00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:23,487
This is where you're getting your
information, a high school newspaper?
245
00:15:23,589 --> 00:15:25,467
It's time to get
back to our project.
246
00:15:25,491 --> 00:15:28,892
- How about answering the man?
- [all] Yeah! Yeah!
247
00:15:28,995 --> 00:15:31,062
How come every
time I drive by the plant
248
00:15:31,164 --> 00:15:33,631
all that smoke is
coming out of the stacks?
249
00:15:33,733 --> 00:15:36,133
[angry shouting]
250
00:15:36,236 --> 00:15:38,069
They're smokestacks!
251
00:15:40,373 --> 00:15:43,274
What do you expect coming
out of there? Whipped cream?
252
00:15:43,376 --> 00:15:45,376
What do you want, huh?
253
00:15:45,478 --> 00:15:48,913
- I think they're both in on it.
- [all] Absolutely! Yeah!
254
00:15:49,015 --> 00:15:51,182
- This is a witch hunt.
- We want the truth!
255
00:15:51,284 --> 00:15:53,718
- And we want it now!
- [all] Yeah!
256
00:15:53,819 --> 00:15:55,653
You are out of order.
257
00:15:55,755 --> 00:15:59,256
And you are out of order! This
whole audience is out of order!
258
00:15:59,358 --> 00:16:01,559
You're nothin' but
a big flannel fraud!
259
00:16:01,661 --> 00:16:04,362
[all] Yeah!
260
00:16:04,464 --> 00:16:07,798
We'll be right back after these
messages from Binford Tools.
261
00:16:09,836 --> 00:16:12,970
All right, that's it! Show's
over! Everybody get out!
262
00:16:14,207 --> 00:16:18,942
[Wilson chanting
in foreign language]
263
00:16:22,615 --> 00:16:25,016
[chanting] Wilson.
264
00:16:26,652 --> 00:16:29,086
Wilson...
265
00:16:30,023 --> 00:16:33,257
Wilson! What are you doing?
266
00:16:33,359 --> 00:16:36,893
Well, I was in a state
of transcendental bliss.
267
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:39,896
I'd like you to return to the
state of Michigan, if you could.
268
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:43,667
I want to talk about this article
in the Lakeside High Reporter.
269
00:16:43,769 --> 00:16:48,172
I haven't read it yet. I'm still working on
the New York Times and Calcutta Courier.
270
00:16:48,274 --> 00:16:50,975
I don't get to the high
school papers until midnight.
271
00:16:51,077 --> 00:16:55,545
Randy wrote an article in there exposing
Binford's poor environmental record.
272
00:16:55,648 --> 00:16:57,982
I'm real angry about it.
273
00:16:58,084 --> 00:17:00,351
Are you angry because
Randy wrote the article
274
00:17:00,453 --> 00:17:02,719
or because of
Binford's poor record?
275
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:05,022
Both.
276
00:17:05,125 --> 00:17:07,825
Not to mention the fact
that he called me a sell-out.
277
00:17:07,927 --> 00:17:10,494
The information caused
a riot on Tool Time.
278
00:17:12,132 --> 00:17:15,366
- I don't know what to believe.
- Mm-hmm.
279
00:17:15,468 --> 00:17:19,503
I'm reminded of something the Polish
linguist Alfred Korzybski once said.
280
00:17:19,605 --> 00:17:22,006
"Why can't my name be Johnson?"
281
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:24,375
[Wilson chuckling]
282
00:17:24,477 --> 00:17:28,779
Korzybski said, "There are two
ways to slide easily through life:
283
00:17:28,882 --> 00:17:31,482
To believe everything
or to doubt everything".
284
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:33,618
Both ways save
you from thinking.
285
00:17:34,987 --> 00:17:37,255
Randy was thinking,
I'll give him that.
286
00:17:37,357 --> 00:17:39,157
He sure was passionate.
287
00:17:39,259 --> 00:17:42,326
But the way he presented
it was... obnoxious.
288
00:17:42,428 --> 00:17:46,163
Tim, when you were Randy's age
didn't you have some burning cause
289
00:17:46,265 --> 00:17:48,585
that you were passionate about?
290
00:17:49,836 --> 00:17:52,136
Auto shop.
291
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:55,973
They tried to eliminate it from my
school and I fought to keep it there.
292
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:57,809
Everybody thought I was crazy.
293
00:17:57,911 --> 00:17:59,309
I just fought harder.
294
00:17:59,411 --> 00:18:01,690
Did it cause you to act
in an obnoxious way?
295
00:18:01,714 --> 00:18:03,447
Uh-uh.
296
00:18:03,549 --> 00:18:08,085
Not unless you consider hot gluing
the principal's door shut obnoxious.
297
00:18:08,187 --> 00:18:11,121
Especially if the principal
was inside the office.
298
00:18:11,224 --> 00:18:15,025
- And he was.
- [both chuckling]
299
00:18:15,127 --> 00:18:17,662
See, now, Randy would
love to hear that story.
300
00:18:17,764 --> 00:18:21,932
No, I don't talk to him about shop.
He doesn't get into that sort of thing.
301
00:18:22,035 --> 00:18:24,268
But he does get into
passionate things.
302
00:18:24,370 --> 00:18:26,103
Oh, yeah, he does.
303
00:18:27,173 --> 00:18:29,273
Gets that from his old man.
304
00:18:31,577 --> 00:18:33,310
Maybe he would like that story.
305
00:18:33,412 --> 00:18:35,312
Maybe he would.
306
00:18:35,948 --> 00:18:37,247
Thanks, Wilson.
307
00:18:37,349 --> 00:18:40,785
You can go back to your
"transcen-dental floss" thing.
308
00:18:40,887 --> 00:18:42,887
[chuckling]
309
00:18:42,989 --> 00:18:44,421
Hi, Randy.
310
00:18:44,523 --> 00:18:45,622
Hi, Dad.
311
00:18:45,725 --> 00:18:47,692
Wait a minute. I want
to tell you a story.
312
00:18:47,794 --> 00:18:51,261
- About what?
- A young boy and his goat.
313
00:18:54,267 --> 00:18:56,033
That's more than I want to know.
314
00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:57,601
No, wait.
315
00:18:59,638 --> 00:19:01,973
The goat I'm talking
about is a Pontiac GTO
316
00:19:02,075 --> 00:19:03,785
that I rebuilt in high school.
317
00:19:03,809 --> 00:19:06,510
I couldn't have rebuilt
it without a shop class.
318
00:19:06,612 --> 00:19:10,214
I wouldn't have had a shop class
unless I was willing to fight for it.
319
00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:12,549
That was the endangered
species you saved?
320
00:19:12,651 --> 00:19:14,451
Well, it was almost extinct.
321
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,923
But I felt passionately that kids should
have a place to work with their hands.
322
00:19:19,025 --> 00:19:20,858
The school didn't want that?
323
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,762
It was a budget thing. But they weren't
gonna touch the music department.
324
00:19:24,864 --> 00:19:27,131
I didn't relate to bass
bassoons and oboes.
325
00:19:27,233 --> 00:19:30,667
I went to the principal and said,
"This will be handy. Get a flat tire,
326
00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:34,939
can't use a jack, maybe you can
pump the car with a glockenspiel".
327
00:19:38,978 --> 00:19:41,478
- Bit over the top, Dad.
- Exactly, it was over the top.
328
00:19:41,581 --> 00:19:43,347
The way I put it,
329
00:19:43,449 --> 00:19:46,918
a lot of people thought I just wanted
to destroy the music department.
330
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:50,655
All I really wanted to do
was save the shop class.
331
00:19:50,757 --> 00:19:53,157
My passion got in
the way of my vision.
332
00:19:54,427 --> 00:19:57,295
Dad, I never wanted
to destroy Binford.
333
00:19:57,397 --> 00:19:59,863
I know, but it
came off like that.
334
00:19:59,965 --> 00:20:02,666
I just got a little too intense.
335
00:20:02,768 --> 00:20:05,269
You were like Jimmy
Olsen's evil twin.
336
00:20:08,074 --> 00:20:11,775
And I definitely crossed a
line calling you a sell-out.
337
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:13,244
Thanks.
338
00:20:13,345 --> 00:20:16,714
Maybe next time you meet
with Binford, it'll go better.
339
00:20:16,816 --> 00:20:18,515
Next time?
340
00:20:18,618 --> 00:20:22,052
Look, if Binford's acted
irresponsibly, Bud is the one to talk to.
341
00:20:22,154 --> 00:20:25,634
And no matter, you're a
reporter. You've got to tell the truth.
342
00:20:25,658 --> 00:20:28,793
Right. So, you're totally cool
with me writing a new article?
343
00:20:28,895 --> 00:20:32,463
Yes. I'm not getting in the way
of your Fourth Amendment rights.
344
00:20:35,834 --> 00:20:40,571
That's good, 'cause nothing sticks in
my craw like illegal search and seizure.
345
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,113
Hello. I'm Jill Taylor.
346
00:20:49,214 --> 00:20:50,781
I'm your counseling intern.
347
00:20:50,883 --> 00:20:53,884
Would you like to sit down?
348
00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:55,920
I've been looking
over your case file
349
00:20:56,022 --> 00:20:59,623
and I see that you're having
trouble communicating with your son?
350
00:20:59,725 --> 00:21:02,193
Where is he?
351
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:12,770
You know, I think I'll be referring
your case to another counselor.
352
00:21:12,872 --> 00:21:14,438
'Sup?
353
00:21:16,141 --> 00:21:17,708
Later.
354
00:21:24,483 --> 00:21:28,052
I am an avid proponent
355
00:21:28,154 --> 00:21:30,054
of emotionally focused
356
00:21:30,156 --> 00:21:33,357
[gibberish]
357
00:21:33,459 --> 00:21:36,594
You've got to say,"Binford
has an environmental problem?"
358
00:21:36,696 --> 00:21:39,216
I thought you said
that after. Oh, OK.
359
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:41,365
Get Pat some cheese!
360
00:21:42,568 --> 00:21:43,867
OK!
361
00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:49,773
That'll help. This helps.
362
00:21:51,944 --> 00:21:53,155
Hold on a minute.
363
00:21:53,179 --> 00:21:56,246
The goat I'm talking
to is a Pontiac GT...
364
00:21:56,348 --> 00:21:58,049
[laughing]
364
00:21:59,305 --> 00:22:59,481
