♪ ♪

[Linda] He's at the board.

He's holding the little six up over the five,

checking out that cool new price.

Now, all he's got to do is switch 'em out.

And... switch 'em out.

-Switch 'em out. -I don't know

if the play-by-play is helping.

-No, it is. -Mm.

Come on, Bob.

I thought you were finally okay with this.

You said yes last night.

Well, I was drinking wine then.

I was wine brave.

I also said we should start stretching,

but I didn't mean it.

Bob, raising our prices once a decade

is not a big deal.

Also, it's how we're gonna do stuff

like pay our bills and stay in business.

It's just, it is a big deal, Lin.

And I'm very nervous about it.

You guys talking sex stuff? You should be nervous.

It could change the dynamic of your relationship forever.

Your dad is moments away from raising the price of a burger.

-Mm... -Or he isn't. [sighs]

What you got there, Gene-- some sort of doohickey?

It's Peter Pescadero's older brother's MiniDisc four track.

You can hit a button and it makes an mp3 of your song.

We have to return it to Peter tomorrow

'cause that's when his brother gets back

from his hacky sack retreat.

So we have one day to come up with

a Grammy-award-winning album.

Hey, who knows, it might win a Grampy award too.

All right. The Itty Bitty Ditty Committee

at the top of the charts.

Actually, this is a new project.

This band is known as

Bus Boy and the Cuss Girls.

It's a little more edgy,

little more autobiographical.

These would be less "itty bitty ditties"

and more "big ol' ditties."

-[Bob] Mm. -It's gonna be all about

how two generations of a family

were destroyed by a burger restaurant.

-Oh. -Oh. -But, hey,

you guys'll be mentioned in the lyrics,

so that's pretty cool for you.

-All right. -Okay.

Anyway, we'll be in the basement if you need us.

But also, please don't bother us

'cause we'll be making history.

Oh, and we need to borrow some metal mixing bowls.

-Why? -Instruments.

-The sound of despair. -Got it.

[Gene] And try to keep it quiet up here.

Thank you.

[Tina] ♪ What was the plan? ♪

-[humming a tune] -♪ Person want ♪

-♪ To open a restaurant? ♪ -Wow.

Hi.

Sorry. So tired.

I don't want to be a line cook

anymore. I can't make any more surf and turf.

I don't want to make food

for people ever again.

That's too bad, because I found it.

Found what?

Where your restaurant's gonna be.

-What? -I was driving home from work,

and you know how you can see

that amusement park from the highway?

Yeah?

Well, I got off at that exit

and I went and I rode the Ferris wheel.

You did? Why?

'Cause I hate that office, Bob.

I smile at everyone and no one smiles back,

and they just want to talk about insurance.

I mean, it's an insurance company.

Listen. I rode the Ferris wheel

and then I walked around a little bit,

and that's when I saw it.

Wait, wasn't that amusement park just in a lawsuit?

I-I don't know if someone died on the Ferris wheel

or if their foot got chopped off--

Bob, shh, shh, shh, shh. Let's go

look at the space tomorrow, okay?

-Okay. -Great. All right, you can

go to sleep now. There you go.

Thank you.

Well, it's next to

-a funeral home. -Yeah.

But only on one side.

We-we won't look over there.

"Who Framed Roger's Rabbit Pet Photography."

That place probably does well, right?

Oh, crap.

-You hate it? -No, I love it.

I knew it. I'm smart.

Mm. My stomach's feeling weird.

That's how you know it's right.

My stomach feels weird, too, but maybe

that's just 'cause I'm not cut out to be a trial lawyer.

And that guy got himself a perfectly good fake foot.

-Oh. -Sorry, I don't know

why I even brought it up.

Let's talk about your "restaurant."

I'm not sure why it's in quotations.

Hard to qualify for a commercial lease.

You have credit references? Collateral?

-Um... -Could be a problem, that you said "um."

-Mm. -And what country have you

recently emigrated from?

-Uh, here? -Oh. With that accent?

-Accent? -Pronounce your name again?

-Bob? -Oh, yeah.

I'm hearing an accent now.

Bob...

does it have to be a restaurant?

-Uh-- -I'm just saying

because of how often they fail.

-They fail a lot. -[Linda laughs nervously]

And there are

several parties interested in that property.

-Oh. -Oh.

But my father briefly sported

a mustache like yours.

And it had a similar smell.

You can smell my mustache?

I seem to be downwind of it, yes.

So, if you can line up your financing,

then you can have the space.

-Oh. -[laughs]

Now, if you'll excuse me,

-I've got to go fire a carnie. -Oh.

-From a cannon. -Oh. -Oh.

It's Friday, after all.

-Yeah, makes sense. -Sure.

[woman] So, Mr. Belcher,

after reviewing your credit score,

we have determined that you do not qualify

for the local business incentive loan.

-Oh. -Damn it.

Sorry. Sorry. Uh, who are you again?

This is Mr. Dowling. He's shadowing me today.

Well, uh, will you give us a loan?

That's not how banks work.

I was just seeing if he was nicer.

I definitely wouldn't give you a loan. Denied.

-Oh, he's meaner. -Mr. Dowling,

I get to say "denied." Denied.

-Yup. -Well, I'm still takin'

-a butterscotch. -You may have one.

-Mr. Dowling. -Sorry.

You may have one each.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

[Bob] Well, that's it.

That was our last chance.

Well, that butterscotch tasted terrible.

It did? Mine was good.

-No, it wasn't. -All right.

Hey, you know, we could get that loan

if we use my money as a down payment.

Your condo money? No, no, no, no, no.

You've been working and saving since you were 15.

You were gonna put it into owning a condo,

which is a great idea. I-I hope you let me live there.

I mean, we are married, so you're high on the list.

Your parents would kill me. I mean, I can probably fight Al,

but I can't fight Gloria.

And if they both come at me at the same time,

from different sides, I-- There's no way I could--

Bob, it's my condo money.

And I "con-doh" anything I want with it.

What if I'm your investor,

your own private Warren "Buff-ay"?

-Buffet. -Ha! Right. Imagine.

Linda, we've talked about this.

We can't use your money to open the restaurant.

I-I couldn't handle it if it didn't work out.

It'd be like asking you to put up

one of your kidneys as collateral,

-or-or your spleen. -Bob.

You have to keep your spleen, Linda.

-It's your spleen. -Okay, okay, okay.

I don't know what a spleen does, but they're good!

Easy. Easy.

Bob.

Linda. Is everything okay?

I know you don't want to use my money

to start your own place 'cause you're worried

that you'll fail and you'll take me down with you.

But you don't get to tell me what I do with my money, buddy.

My parents don't get to either.

You know what my dream is?

I want to help build something,

something that makes people happy,

something that makes the world better in some little way.

You really want to be careful about where you put your money.

Safest place is probably real estate.

Buy a condo, or a--

Bup, bup, bup, bup. You're gonna make great food, Bob.

You're gonna make people happy,

and I want in. So if you don't let us

use this money to do that, I'm gonna... kick your ass.

She'll do it. She's got the crazy eyes.

-Okay. -Yeah?

Yeah. You know, I'd rather

fight your mom than fight you.

Oh, Bob!

-Ooh. So wet. -Also,

um, remember how I thought that butterscotch

-was weird? From the bank? -Yeah?

Well, I had another butterscotch today,

and that one tasted weird, too.

Okay, a lot of butterscotch talk.

Listen, I told my friend Ginger about the butterscotch,

and she said maybe I should take a pee test.

-For drugs? -Obviously. The eyes.

No, a pregnancy test.

Stuff tasting weird is a thing.

And I did. Do the test.

And I am. Pregnant.

-What?! -Right?!

That-that's great. Wait. Then we definitely

-shouldn't start the rest-- -Shh, shh, shh, shh, shush.

-Yeah, you definitely shouldn't-- -Shh, shh, shh, shh, shush.

This baby is part of my dream, too.

-It's just nice to be touched. -Oh.

I mean, I'm very happy for you two.

-Nah. -"Blessed Are the Meat?"

-[gasps] -Wait, you like that one?

-"Bob's Burgers." -Oh. No, no.

We should call it "Bob's Burgers."

No. No, no, no.

I couldn't do this without you, Lin.

The name shouldn't be just me.

People are gonna know you couldn't do this without me.

It's gonna be obvious. I mean, look at you.

Yeah. [sniffles] you're a mess.

So, what kind of food are you gonna make?

-What? -Burgers?

Ha! No way. What are the odds?

We have to hire someone.

You're gonna be too pregnant to work.

We can't afford to hire anyone.

I can work for a few weeks until the baby comes.

In the employee bathroom.

and a burger of the day for table two.

-Okay? -Okay.

What's happening? Why are you walking like that?

This is how I walk now, to keep stuff inside in my body.

-And I got 'em. -Oh, my God.

Bob, just go outside

and get some fresh air. I'll make some more fries.

Maybe if I say the fries are free, people will think

everything's great and no one's throwing up.

Uh-huh. Yup.

Yeah, you know, I just wanted to see the booths in action,

I'm not saying I was concerned

the counter wasn't gonna hold up.

I'm not suggesting that at all.

-Okay. -Holy crap,

is that the mortician?

-Yep. -No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We-we don't do that anymore.

[high-pitched voice] Yeah, seriously.

This is your grand opening, man.

[regular voice] I know, I know.

in there, you're letting everybody down.

[regular voice] It's just, I'm just so nervous.

[high-pitched voice] Oh, really? I hadn't noticed.

Hey, You're blowing it, pal! You're blowing it!

Sorry, sorry. I get a little raw sometimes.

[laughs]

[regular voice] All right, I'm gonna go back in.

[high-pitched voice] "Raw," like "raw patty?"

[regular voice] No, I get it, Burger. I'm gonna go in now.

[high-pitched voice] Okay, I just feel like

[regular voice] I-I did. Uh, you're very funny.

[high-pitched voice] Don't patronize me!

There he is. How you doing?

-[regular voice] Better. -Okay, great, now cook. Fast.

But also, really good. Teddy the crying handyman came.

And Mort the mortician is here, too,

and he's wearing a toupee. Not a need-to-know,

but I just didn't want you to see it and get scared.

Thank you.

-It's never gonna work. -I think it's gonna work.

-Not a chance. -I'm feeling good about it.

Wait a second. You know what? It's backwards.

-Oof. -Huh?

Ah, jeez. Just flopping stuff around

like you're Mr. Potato Head?

[Bob] Order up.

Linda, order up.

See? There's these two.

And now I'll make more.

Yay, Bob. But take it easy on the bell, huh?

Also, you got to pick up the pace, here.

We're full.

W-w-we are?

-Oh, God. -Yeah.

-They're all gonna eat your food. -Oh, boy.

-This is what we want. -Oh, no.

-You sound great, got to go. -[Bob whimpers]

Okay. Oh, it's coming back up.

Oh, and... and here it comes.

[retches]

[moans]

Didn't make it that time.

Okay, washing vomit off my apron.

And we are done

throwing up. Wait, maybe not.

[retches]

And what can I get-- Yow!

Oh, wow. Okay.

That was a lot of liquid. In my pants.

Sorry. I think my water just broke.

Oof. You folks good on water?

Just kidding. Will you excuse me for a moment?

[straining]

-Bob! -[Bob] It happened again.

On my apron and then on my shirt and pants.

I'm just giving it a quick rinse.

Everything's fine.

We're gonna have to wash my pants, too,

-'cause my water just broke. -What?

I'm having my own grand opening,

-and it's a little early. -What?!

And contractions are happening. Very much.

Oh, my God!

Hi, everyone.

Um, unfortunately, we need to leave the restaurant

and, um, go to the hospital

because my wife is currently having a baby.

[strained] It's true, I'm having a baby.

Everyone's meal is on us.

I mean, the two burgers that we made.

-The fries are free. -Uh-huh.

Teddy, uh, would you mind locking up?

-Okay? -The keys to the restaurant

are in my pants, which are in the sink...

'cause that's where I keep them.

-Okay, thank you... -Thank you.

everybody, for coming. Sorry.

Thank you. So sorry.

-Thank you. -She's having baby

-and I had to take my clothes off. -Thanks.

-Thanks a lot. -So sorry.

And that's how you produce an album, people.

Yup, we totally made sounds

with instruments and our mouths.

Uh-huh. And hearing it all together,

it's definitely sort of music?

Was that music?

Oh God, I'm forgetting what music sounds like.

You kids done with the album already?

Yes! Why are you asking it like that?

Everything went perfectly and we're super confident.

Okay, sorry.

Anyway, how's it going up here?

Prices still the amount where we're poor?

Yes, for the moment. He said, "I'm gonna chop onions

-till all this goes away." -Smart.

Well, we're gonna go upstairs and upload this puppy

to every possible corner of the Internet

and wait for the record label people to come calling.

Definitely do not tie up the phone lines,

and make sure there's paper in the fax machine.

Um, guys, are we sure the album's ready?

I mean, it's done. Doesn't that make it ready?

It's just, what if we're the only ones

that think it's good?

-What if no one else likes it? -Not possible.

What if the world listens to our edgy

autobiographical food-industry-related

musical expression and says "We hate it, this stinks"?

They all have a meeting and decide that?

-Yes! -Aah!

Guys. Guys! [shouts]

-Okay. -Good point.

Now come on, let's go upload it.

Don't take too long.

Do you think The Rolling Stones' mom

said that to them when they were uploading Steel Wheels?

No, she did not.

[Linda] I love epidurals.

I'm gonna get pregnant again just for these.

You should get one, Bob.

I don't think they'll let me.

Doesn't hurt to ask.

They gave you that gown. Are you okay?

What if it keeps happening?

What if I'm never not always throwing up?

If it all fails, it's everything.

All your money. Your life. Her life.

Aw, Bobby. I really wish I could get you an epidural.

Don't worry. People'll pay more for your food.

Will they? We don't know that.

We do. I do. 'Cause I'm wise.

Like a wise, gorgeous owl.

Could be wrong.

-Ready? -Ready. -Ready.

Do they love it yet?

It's still uploading.

It's at one percent.

Remember when Tina was born?

Remember what you said?

[Belcher kids vocalizing]

I didn't know you get pudding after.

Lin, that was incredible.

I'm so glad I never have to do that.

Oh, yeah. I've heard you in the bathroom.

Sometimes, you barely get through that.

Yeah. But hey, am I weirdly good at holding babies?

I feel like I am, right?

Wait. She's not upside down, is she?

-What? -No, no, that's a head.

So, when should we open up again?

Oh. Uh...

We should do another grand opening, right?

With less fluids flying around.

Hmm. Could try it that way.

Are you gonna be up for it?

Yeah. I-I feel... good.

I thought I'd be more scared when she got here,

but actually, I feel less, somehow.

I don't have to be in my head anymore.

I just have to be

what she needs, and she needs me to be not scared,

so I won't be.

Oh, yeah.

-I said a smart thing. -You did.

I mean, I'll still be scared. But not, like scared-scared.

In the big scheme of things, I'll be normal scared.

Sometimes. I'll-I'll feel it out. You get it.

-I did it. -Yes, you did.

-It'll be okay. -Better than okay.

-[door opens] -[entry bells jingle]

Good news, our album demo

is 14% uploaded.

-Yay, it's a hit! -Whoa-ho-ho!

Look at mister businessman, raising his prices.

-Right? -Uh-huh.

[Gene] I'm still not seeing shrimp tempura up there.

Anyone else concerned about that?

-Mm, no. -Can we add takoyaki?

Y-You two sure about this?

-Yes. Why? -Tina, shush.

I'm just saying, it's a big change.

Maybe we should all process it more.

-Tina, you're grounded. -Sorry.

Not really. But shush.

Order up.

Hi, Tina.

Oh, my God. Is that blood?

What? No, that's ketchup.

-Here you go, Teddy. -Thank you.

Had to have one more burger in here, you know?

Probably won't see me much more after this, though.

No offense. I'm more of a burrito guy.

Hey, is that Mort?

Holy crap. It worked.

By the grace of God,

he made it work.

You need change, hon?

Keep it. Best burger of my life.

I feel like a different person.

Thank you.

Huh.

Oh, we should open up.

[sighs] Another day in this dive.

I guess at least we'll have stories

to tell our kids about how miserable we were before

-we clawed our way out of here. -Yeah.

-[Bob] Yup. -Aw.
