You're perspiring, sir. The machine can't read your fingerprints.

Sir, we've got a lot of paperwork still to get through.

We're going to have to come back to this.

Can you start by explaining to me why we should grant you a visa, Mr. Pemberton?

The company I ran here provided very successful maintenance services across

Western Europe. If it was so successful, why sell it?

I want to bring my family to America because I want to live in a country

you know, if you work hard and you're honest, then that counts and you can

something of yourself. And to prove it, we've invested our total sale price

in the Kismet.

Sunshine Park?

What's that doing? Why isn't he wrong?

Mum!

Mum! She's saying goodbye to the weather.

She's losing her mind.

The thought of leaving me that's doing it. I don't know we're going yet. We've

got to go. We've sold the house.

You are aware that the visa states that your business has to benefit the

American economy and that should you at any time fail to make a sufficient

profit, the visa's cancelled and you have 90 days.

To sell up and leave the country?

Yes, sir.

But we have plans to grow this business, you know. We've got to expand.

I feel really confident that we're... Yes, your plans may not be our plans.

Mom, come here. Dad, take it.

Well, why can't you get it? Or give it to Graham?

What did they say?

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

Okay, well, you'd better tell Tina that.

What?

Dad?

Dad? Are we really moving to America?

Anthony? Yeah? Anthony, hi.

To America.

Yeah, we just left now.

Yeah, we're going.

It's about to be finished, okay?

Honestly, we talked about this. Get a grip.

You'll hate us out there. I know you will. Look at me, OK?

I love you, and I'm going to call you as soon as we get there, all right? Bye.

Bye.

Oi, Laurie!

Laurie! No, no, you get away. This is all your fault. Laurie, come on. No,

listen, you take care of my daughter and my grandchildren.

I'm going to give them the best life ever, OK?

Coming.

What's he doing? Where's he gone?

Mum, where's Dad?

Get

in,

kid. You're pulled.

Freddie.

Freddie! Yeah, yeah, all right, Mum. I'm not deaf.

No time to wait.

Oh, yeah.

Don't need a reason. Oh, yeah. To leave this place.

Okay, so this is the neighborhood.

What do you think?

It's all right, isn't it? It's all right.

This is us on the left.

And that's yours, by the way.

It's right!

Oh, hey.

Nice pool.

Nice everything.

It's flipping huge.

Dad, it's amazing.

Well, it's America.

Get anything you could try out.

Let's go find our rooms.

Uncle, you're my friend!

Oh,

uh, what do you think?

It's fantastic. It's better than fantastic.

Is that car outside really mine? It's really yours. It's all real. And we're

on holiday?

No, this is it. And we can really afford all this?

Paid six months in advance. If we like it, we stay.

If we like it?

And the first one in the pool is a ruddy bloody genius.

Dad!

What are you doing?

Dad!

Put some trunks on, Dad.

Hey there.

Sorry. Oh, no, uh -uh. My pleasure entirely.

Don't mind me.

Florida also has puff caterpillars whose bristles break off into your skin and

cause vomiting. Yeah, Mum, I'm not sure that I need all this information.

by them, oh, their jaws snap tight at 143 miles per hour. I'm just a puppet to

the part with Freddie, OK?

Why don't you wait till the morning when you've got the keys?

Because I just, you know, want to show my face and it's open, so... Yeah.

Right, Freddie, come on, we're going.

Bring one of your new mixes.

Lightning strikes than anywhere else in America and brain -eating amoeba go in

the water.

If a needlefish doesn't...

I'm Rhoda from next door.

Welcome to Shingle Creek.

Oh, hi, I'm Jen.

Hi, Jen.

Hello. Oh, hello.

So nice to meet you. So listen, now we know that you folks have just arrived,

okay? But Casper and I were thinking, oh, Casper, that's my husband. And we

thinking, what if we host a little BBQ for you and hubby, huh, this weekend,

right? We'll invite all the neighbors so they can say hello.

That'll be fun, right?

Okay, I think it's just up here on the right.

Don't you know?

Yes.

Yeah, this is it.

What the heck is that?

Hi, good evening. Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

How old is that kid?

He's way too young.

What? 21 and over.

Adults only park.

Someone come on in here. Someone come on. Oh, hey.

What can I do you for?

Oh, hell no. This is a 21 up park. There's a whole lot of drinking going on

around here. Let me just explain.

I'm Mel Pemberton.

Mal Pemberton, I'm the new owner.

New owner of what?

Of this, of the park.

All right, we got enough Looney Tunes around here, so why don't you go ahead

get... No, no, no, no. I'm serious. I am the new owner. You are not the owner of

this park. Mr.

Strauss is the owner of this park. No, no, no, Mr. Strauss. No, I know. I'm the

park manager, so I know. You are not Mr.

Strauss. If you just let me explain, okay? Get back in the wagon. Let's go.

is the only time. Freddy, get in the car. Bob, amigo, thank you so much for

coming by.

Peace.

It was obviously a misunderstanding.

It's probably best not to mention it to your mum.

Is there anything you want to tell me?

Hmm? I think there is.

I think when I asked my son how was it down the park last night, and he can't

actually find any words, I think that there is probably something up.

Yeah, um, simply that they didn't know there was a new owner. They didn't know

there was a new owner? It's fine, it's sorted.

I've had a word with the lawyer, and while you have breakfast, I'm going to

down there and collect the keys off you. Shall I come?

No, no, no, no, stay and have breakfast. You know, it's waffles, ham, eggs,

maple syrup, pancakes.

Think I'll come.

Now, I've never been to England myself.

I've been on the Peter Pan ride at Disney World. That flies over London.

But otherwise, I've never really felt the need.

Well, anyhow, how are we doing? How's the house? It's perfect.

It's beyond the park. Can we talk about the misunderstanding that happened at

the RV park last night? Now, Mrs. Pemberton, don't look so trepidatious.

previous owner, Mr.

Strauss, now, he decided very wisely, I think, not to announce the sale of the

park until you arrived.

Because the people find out that no one's around, no one's in charge. Things

happen. People take liberty, if you understand.

Yeah, no, sure. I mean, that's very kind of Mr. Strauss.

Everybody's been told now, yeah? The park manager's been told. Mr.

Strauss called him this morning.

Everything's been settled. Here.

Kissimmee Sunshine RV Park is yours.

And all of the residents have received a letter stating that you are the

majority owner.

Here you go.

Majority owner?

What's a majority owner?

A technical term. Technical term for what?

It's like buying a house with a mortgage, that's all. No, wait, wait,

wait, wait. What are you talking about?

When people say they've bought a house, they haven't bought all of it, have

they? Yeah, but this isn't a house, it's a park, it's a business, and you told

me that we'd bought it.

Like I say. Yeah, but how much of it do we actually own?

Most of it.

Mal!

51%. 51 %?

Yeah. Look, we pay the rest off after five years, and that allows us to invest

in the park and hire American workers, which we have to for the visa, because

we don't, you know, they send us home.

What do you mean they send us home? No, no, they won't. They won't. We'll earn

enough money. It's fine.

Okay? I'm going to go to the park now.

Yes, good.

I'll drop you home. No.

Jen. Jen, yes.

Have a day by the pool, you know. Come on. Get in the car. I'm coming to the

park.

Like many Americans, you slapped my interest credit card game, making your

miserable. My moment started at 20%. One card went up to 30%. It

was like I was drowning in debt.

You want to cut your credit card debt?

You can receive your payment by up to 75%. Act now and call 800 -CUT -MY

We're here to help.

That'll come down.

Hey, baby.

Where are these photos taken here?

Um... Where's the... Where's the swimming pool, Mal? I,

uh... Where's the swimming pool, Mal? I think... Have you actually been here

before?

No. Um... Well, last night, but it was dark, so... You bought it unseen.

Yeah. Yeah.

But... Well, you know, the other parts I'd looked at we couldn't really afford,

so I was on my way to the airport when that lawyer Dean Booty phoned, told me

about this place, and basically said if I didn't act quickly, this was going to

get snapped up. So, you know, I mean, it's a great investment, Jen. You

that lawyer? Well, yes, he's local, he's good.

Mal, I've never met a dodgier lawyer, and I... What?

Look at it.

You brought us all the way out here for this? Whoa, whoa, whoa, Jen.

Wait a minute, come on. I mean, you know, this is the same guy, OK, that

recommended the house we all love, so let's just check it out, yeah?

Have a look around before you start trashing it.

Come on, I mean, it's... It's a great opportunity.

Come on.

I take it Mr. Strauss has been in touch. Son of a bitch is trying to play me

like a fish.

But you always check to see what's at the end of your line.

Guess it might just be me.

What? I treat you right, you treat me right, okay?

Now, pay that, I'm gone.

You want $2 ,000 for what?

I worked hard. That's my due. Yeah, but you didn't work for us.

I ain't working for no goddamn Australians.

No. Now, pay me what I'm owed, and I'll get out of here.

Um, sorry, Mr... Jerry. Tom Jerry.

Really? Yeah.

Right, okay. Well, um, Mr. Jerry, if you have an issue with Mr.

Strauss, then I suggest you take it out with Mr.

Strauss and not me.

You ain't gonna pay me. No, I'm not. But I tell you what I am gonna do. I'm

gonna give you this, which is Mr. Strauss' lawyer.

I suggest you go pay him a visit.

And he's gonna pay me. If you're owed money, Mr. Booty's your man.

If I ain't satisfied with this Mr. Booty, come back for your booty.

Howdy. I'm Aiden.

Aiden Lever.

Site number seven.

Hi. I'm Mel Pemberton.

Yes, yes. We got letters. I know. Oh, good. It's my wife, Jen.

Delighted. How do you do? I'm just charmed. Hi.

If you need anybody to show you around so you can see what's what, I'm your

Well, thank you. I'd love to take you up on that.

At your service.

Okay.

So, where's the swimming pool?

Oh, it's over by the shuffleboard court.

Miss Apter!

Our new owners, Mal and Jen, did you get a letter?

Oh, yes, yes.

Sweetheart, might I have a word?

Yes, yes, of course.

So,

Aidan, tell me, do you have a maintenance store on site? Oh, yes, yes,

this way.

Tell me something, um... Has the park kind of deteriorated lately?

No. Uh -uh. No, sir, it's always been like this.

Right, so, uh... One of these, then.

No, Locke hadn't worked in ages.

We'll get that fixed.

Oh, wow.

There's some serious stuff in here.

Mm.

Just needs you, then.

That's great, Aiden. Thank you. It's all good.

Who's in that, uh, stockade?

Well, that's Troy.

Troy Marshall.

That's gonna have to come down.

Troy.

Well, yes, but look, uh, Troy doesn't take visitors, and he's sort of used to

doing things his way. A bit like a hornet's nest. Best just left alone.

We're out of beer. I'm going for beer.

I'm going for beer.

That's Ryan.

Don't be long.

That's Ryan's wife, Dorothy.

And that is Troy.

You do not want to interrupt Troy when he's making

a social call.

You're not telling me stuff as good as lying to me. I know, I know.

And I'm sorry.

You know, for this, completely.

Except... I think we can make something of this.

I really do.

So do I.

I think you're right.

I think it's neglected, that's all.

Really? Yeah.

But from now on, you share everything with me.

Because... I love you, Mal Pemberton.

Okay?

Promise.

Mrs. Apter, that lady that I was talking to, her great -granddaughters are

coming to stay. They're six and eight, and I said we'd put up a swing for them.

Yeah, okay.

Oh, uh, no, right, hang on. Um,

well, it's been adults only staying.

Nobody under 21.

I mean, we'll change it, of course. Look, it's changed already. This is a

park now, so let's put up a swing for them.

OK.

Kissimmee Sunshine Park, good morning.

Oh, yeah.

Day after tomorrow?

Yeah, that should be fine.

OK.

Thanks. Bye. See you then. OK. Bye.

County Office Annual Inspection. What?

When? The day after tomorrow?

Don't worry. It's good. How can that be good? It makes us tidy up. OK.

Let's make a list.

Painting and decorating our tops.

Right. So what do we need? We need... Paint.

Casper, honey, our guests of honor are here.

This is Mal, and this is Jen. Hello.

Hi. Nice to meet you. How do you do?

Can I just say... Tuscan leather.

Yes, yes it is.

Yes, Casper.

Drinks, baby.

Sure.

Jen? For a second?

Oh, that would be lovely. Thanks ever so.

And you come with me.

So may I just say, by the by, that I, too, enjoy and adore skinny

dipping. Do it right there in our pool every morning, 6 a .m. I find it so

freeing. Oh, swimsuits, they just take all the fun out of it.

It's great to have neighbors that laugh. You don't mind people walking around

naked.

By the by, if we're ever too noisy in the bedroom department, just sing.

Aw, thank you, baby. Thank you.

Isn't he gorgeous?

Lost his wife about a year ago.

She was crossing the road and... Oh, that's awful. Oh, yeah.

She was a Brit. Mm -hmm. Got caught looking the wrong way when she was

Oh, that's dreadful.

He was so heartbroken and then inundated with lasagna from every woman within a

10 -mile radius.

Get there if you can.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Come on, I'll introduce you. I've been planning

this all day. Mal, Mal.

Paul. Hey.

Mal, Jen, this is Paul.

Oh, nice to meet you. That was wonderful singing.

Thanks. Glad you liked it. Nice to meet you. How's it going? You're British?

Bang to rights.

Yeah, been here two, three years. Yeah, yeah. And not only is he British, but he

also owns an RV park.

Oh. Oh.

You're kidding.

Mm -hmm. So people talk.

Yeah. We had a look at the park at Kissimmee when we were buying.

Bit of work to do there, eh?

Yeah, we're discovering that.

Have a look at this.

This is my park.

Wow.

And I mean wow.

Yeah, but hang on, that's now.

But this is what it was like when we bought it.

Right shambles, eh? But we threw money at it and... It's fantastic.

Paul, can I ask you about handling tenants?

Oh, okay.

Here's a bit of free advice for you.

Americans are going to be trying to get one over on you all the time.

Don't let that happen. Stand up to them.

Then start improving the park.

For starters, it attracts our market customers who pay more.

But the residents also go, hey, if we behave, we'll get some of that. It works

wonders.

We put our spare cash into doing up our place.

And, well, you've seen the pics.

Speculate to accumulate.

Shall we? After you.

Oh, you're all looking at me.

Anyway, thank you so much for coming. And let's give it up for Mal and Jen,

Come here, come here, come here.

Now, welcome to Shingle Creek, and we already love you.

You do it, I can't. No, no, no, I can't do it. You brought this.

I, uh... I can't begin to tell you, um... You're all so kind, and we are

so... Yeah.

God bless Americans.

Yeah.

Yeah. Beautiful.

God bless Americans.

We've only been here two days.

A hurricane warning or a swarm of killer bees. Go away, Mum.

Jen. Jen.

Yeah? We've moved to America.

The thing about the park is you've got to look for its potential.

Might need to use binoculars, though.

Adults only.

I'll fill that at the meeting.

Pemberton! Oh, Mr.

Pemberton! Oh, hi, Jan.

Sorry. Mr.

Pemberton, come and see.

Can't believe it, huh?

Oh, God.

He came and he took everything.

Even the weed whacker. Aiden, what do you mean?

Aiden, he did this. The park manager, Tom Jerry.

Dear Lord, bless this meeting.

And bless the new owners of our park.

Guide them so that they may run our park with wisdom.

And we pray that they may install a satellite system that works.

That would be good. All right, pastor, sit down.

Come in.

Come in.

Hello. Hi.

My name is Mal Pemberton, and this is my family, my wife, Jen, my daughter,

Tina, my son, Freddie, and, well, we're Brits.

Yay.

English. Anyway, well, it's been a tricky handover, and your last manager,

obviously feeling aggrieved, has this morning taken a considerable amount of

property.

Yeah, that's right.

Does anybody have Tom Jerry's number?

You can try asking Deputy Dole.

Yeah. He, uh, he pretty much lived in the office.

He's gone. It don't matter.

We met the other night. I thought I made it clear this was an adults -only park.

Yeah. Don't die.

No kids. As in, no children?

Right, yeah, but you see, the thing is, I own this park now, and those kids

are staying because, as of now, this is a family park.

So whoever put up those adult -only signs...

That'd be me.

I did it. I put them up.

I appreciate if you keep your hands off him.

If you in any way threaten me, I shall call the police.

The thing about calling the police is you got to do it at the proper time.

Otherwise, the party might be over before the invites go out.

You know what I mean?

Somehow.

I don't want to embarrass you in front of your family.

Meeting's over.

Thank you, Troy.

Return from Havana. Havana?

Havana? What point? Cuba?

No, Havana, Wales.

Hello, Mr Booty, this is Jen. The mailbox is full and cannot accept any

at this time. Goodbye.

Right, the police. Come on.

Yes, Jen?

No, don't argue. It's for the insurance.

Yeah. We'll go there.

Jen? Just get in!

Jen, yeah, um... We're not insured.

Um, the lock was broken.

So, insurance null and void.

Well, at least we won't have the police coming out through the park.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Anyway, we'll get our own stuff.

Stuff there's stuff.

The old regime.

This is our part now.

And get ourselves a new weed wagon.

And a lock.

And a lock. And a lock.

Hey, no signs.

Hey, hey, hey.

Wow, fantastic.

Mr. Pemberton.

Hi. Can I show you something?

Think of that as a little inducement.

I made a call.

Right, can I have that number, please?

Just be happy, right?

Those kids are gone at the end of the day.

I think what else might reappear? Kids are staying.

It's not safe.

It's perfectly safe.

Okay.

There he goes.

Paint, colour chart, scrapers, paint stripper, ten gallons of undercoat,

strips. You said sanding strips.

Oh, I've said sanding strips, have I?

Okay.

Have I said I love you?

I love you.

And if you take out the words sunshine and park,

what have you got?

Kissing me.

Double S, double M, double E.

Kissing me.

Hi, Mr. Pemberton.

Where's Jen?

She'll be in later.

Aidan, in a year's time, you won't recognize this place.

It's going to be great.

Everyone is going to enjoy this park.

If people could get a decent TV picture, they'd be happier.

Would you mind if I ran a test?

I'd like to run cable from the switch box beneath the dish.

To my RV. That way we'd find out if it's the dish that's the problem or the

underground cable leading to the hookups.

Well, I mean, Aidan, if you know what you're doing, then that's fine. Yeah, go

ahead. Oh, good.

What are you doing with that weed whacker?

I am going to clear that ground over there.

Twelve new plots at least.

Ooh, big plans.

Yeah.

First, Mr.

Marshall. You don't come in here unless you're invited, which should be never.

Hell yeah. Why don't you just turn around? This stockade comes down within

hours when you're off the site for breach of contract.

You also owe four weeks rent, and open fires are only allowed in designated

areas.

There you go.

That's what I'm talking about right there.

Fire goes out immediately, please.

Let's see what we got.

Ah! Ah, the clearest picture!

Oh, boy.

Tina, Freddy!

They got constant drizzle back home, Mum.

Yes, we're taking a selfie and sending it to Gran.

No, don't.

Hey, listen, how about we go and pick Dad up and head to the beach?

What, now?

Yeah, come on, let's go and see what Florida's got to offer. OK.

Right, can I have my phone back now? No, I'm looking at them.

Tina.

Oi!

Yay!

Bloody hell!

Bloody, bloody, bloody, bloody hell!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa!

I'm sure you can technically call these jumbo shrimp.

No, they're jumbo shrimp. They're just shrimp when you cook them.

You son of a bitch!

Hey there!

Are you sure you wanted to do that?

You're gonna find out what's in my stomach.

Call a bloody hole in the face of that alligator head!

Mr. Pemberton! Mr. Pemberton! Mr. Pemberton!

Fire!

Just leave it. Let it burn.

Oh, no, Mr. Pemberton. What?

The man from the county is here, and he wants to start his inspection.

What? Mr. Pemberton. Mr. Pemberton. Yeah, I heard. The man from the county,

whatever, is here. No, no, no, no, I'm sorry. It's satellite cable.

It worked.

I've got the most beautiful pictures, crystal clear, but now everybody wants

and we're running out of cable, and we're running out of outputs, and I

chaos.

Where did you go, Scott?

Wait a minute.

We've got alligators in the park. Where did she go, Scott?

Mr.

Pemberton.

He's here.

Mr. Pemberton, I am the county officer.

You have a girl on each arm.

Yeah, we, uh...

We got alligators in the park.

Hey!

Hey!

We got alligators!

Over there!

We got fire here!

Alligators! We got mush! Mush!

Mush!
