Hey, cool camera, muscle man. Is that new?

Uh, it's vintage, so no.

Anyway, there's only one exposure left in the cartridge, so I'm waiting for the

perfect shot.

Why not take a picture of us? I need something inspiring.

I'm sure he'll know it when he sees it, guys.

Now, Skips, I need you to fix the cracked porch banister. And Mordecai and

Rigby, take down the old Christmas decorations.

Aw, what? Why are you being such a scrooge? Christmas just happened.

It is the middle of April.

Oh, let's get this over with. I'll grab a ladder from Skips. Wait, give me a

sec. I want to try something.

Yeah! Wait, Rigby, I really need that lumber.

Okay, okay.

Whoa!

Dude, that was, like, impressive.

Hey, when inspiration calls, you have to answer. Speaking of inspiration, Muscle

Man, look!

Looks like sushi!

And my stilts are like chopsticks!

It's the perfect last photo for your camera.

I'm not seeing it, bro.

Come on, it's funny.

I'm like a big giant eating sushi.

I said no, bro.

That idea stinks.

What did you just say?

I said your idea stinks.

No, it's straight.

You're just not understanding.

Mordecai, back me up here. I don't know, dude.

It might be a little weird.

This sushi idea is genius.

I'll find someone else to take my picture and you'll see.

Someone in this park's gotta have a camera.

Aha! That looks like a picture-perfect moment.

Will you make me the happiest man in the world, baby?

Oh, baby.

We're gonna remember this moment forever.

Unless something weirder happens immediately after this.

That's how memories work, baby.

Hey, nice camera you got there.

You know, I actually have a pretty cool idea for a photo.

Uh, we're kind of... Okay, so you see how these old Christmas decorations look

just like sushi?

And my stilts look like chopsticks.

Listen, we gotta go, so... Also, that idea really stinks.

I happen to think that's a swell idea for a picture.

The name's Uncle Sam, and I'd be happy to take that picture for a fellow

stilt's having friend.

Uncle Sam?

Like the guy from the poster?

How can I be on a poster when I'm right here?

Uncle Sam, there you are.

This is my young apprentice and ward, Jefferson.

Oh, I... I know this one, like Thomas Jefferson.

I don't even know who that is. And what are you doing talking to this groundy?

Groundy? I've seen this guy around the park, never seen him on stilts till

today. No, no, Jefferson.

He's not taking the stilts off, are you, son?

Nah, I'm stilting for life. I like your pluck.

Whatever, stupid groundy.

Hey, Uncle Sam, I don't have my camera on me, but if I go stilts and get it,

will you keep an eye on my sushi?

Of course.

I'll be waiting right here, young patriot.

Pops, move a little to the right. Can we just take the picture? I've been holding

this for an hour.

Muscle Man, I met Uncle Sam. Give me the camera.

Uncle Sam?

As in the mythological amalgam of the American spirit, Uncle Sam?

Yeah, he's gonna take my sushi picture.

I'm not about to give up the coolest picture of all time for that bag of

stink. My idea doesn't stink, right, Mordecai? Listen, dude, maybe you just

need to chill out a little bit with the sushi thing.

You guys are a bunch of jerks.

Come on, Rigby.

Can't keep the... Great.

Now we gotta come up with a whole new idea.

Ah! The prodigal stilt returns!

Hey, Uncle Sam.

I couldn't get the camera.

Any chance you have one? Where I come from, we have everything you need and

more, my boy.

Gee, I always thought you lived at the White House.

Wow!

It's a paradise!

On stilts!

You guys have everything here, and everyone seems so supportive of each

other. You're all lucky because some people don't support their friends at

all. Is that so?

Yeah, like Mordecai and the rest of the guys and my dad.

Uh, forget I said that. No, there's no room for that kind of unsupportive

behavior in the U.S. of A.

Now, let me show you something really special.

Ah!

Beautiful. Stilts really give you a new perspective, don't they, son?

Son?

Wow, this has been the best day ever, Uncle Sam.

Quite healing, actually. But I better get back to my friends.

Friends? You mean those groundies that wouldn't even take your sushi picture

with you?

I think you should come live with us.

Stilton for life?

And that's why they call him the Window Creeper. Because he creeps into people's

windows. Uh, what's that sound?

Oh,

it's just Rigby.

Yeah, just me.

Dude, why don't you just go through the door like a normal person?

I'm moving in with the stilt walkers now, Mordecai.

And they're gonna take that sushi picture with me.

Your sushi picture?

Rigby, the sushi picture is one thing, but moving to the woods with a bunch of

stilt freaks? That idea actually stinks.

My ideas don't stink!

Rigby, come on.

Can we help you?

Yeah, why don't you watch some movies with us? No!

I don't need your movies or your help! I'm gonna go live with people who

actually understand shit!

Rigby, you dropped your tape!

He must be really upset if he left his Prize Carter and Briggs tape behind.

Ooh la la!

First dibs watching that now that Rigby's gone.

Dude. It's totally uncool to be watching Rigby's tape without him. Whatever.

If old Woodlegs cared so much about his tape, why'd he leave it behind?

Huh? Aw, it's a kid Rigby.

Dad, come wrap me up in this blanket like a burrito. A blanc-rito.

Nah, that idea stinks.

He must have recorded the show over an old videotape.

Hey, Dad, come build a can fort with me. It's gonna be a can-opolis.

Look, son.

That idea's a real stinkeroonie. Oh, man.

Dad, let's do chin puppets.

It's fun.

You know what sounds like fun to me?

What? You taking your stinky ideas somewhere. They don't block my TV show.

Jeez, that was horrible.

I didn't know Rigby's dad was such a jerkwad. No wonder he started freaking

out when we said his ideas stink.

There's stilts time to go find him.

Uncle Sam!

Ah, Rigby, my boy!

I thought about what you said before, and I'm in. Those groundies I used to

call my friends don't understand me like you do.

I'm glad you came to your senses.

Me too.

Hey, to celebrate, let's take that sushi picture.

That's a great idea.

But before we do, I just need one thing from you. Hey, name it. I'm just happy

to be here. Rigby, I want you to give me $12,000.

Uh... Good one, man!

So where can I set my stuff?

There's no joke, son.

Forming a new country isn't cheap. The U.S. of A needs funding. New country?

United Stilts of...

Huh?

Show some respect, son.

In this country, we salute the stars and stilts. This is insane!

Is this some kind of scam?

Scam? Is it a scam to love freedom? Where we can touch the animals wherever

we want?

Is it a scam to make everyone give me $12,000?

Then I guess you can just call me...

Uncle Scam!

What?

So we're not going to take that sushi picture?

There was never going to be a sushi picture.

That idea stinks.

It does not stink.

That idea smells awesome.

Mordecai! We never should have said your ideas stink.

I mean, we were right to rag on you, but we should have taken your picture

anyway. You don't need these guys. Let's get out of here.

You're not going anywhere.

If my dad, and he is my dad, needs $12,000, he's gonna get it. Stilt

walkers to battle!

It's the end of the stilt for you!

Forget the money!

I'm gonna take your heads instead!

Rigby, it's time to use those chopsticks.

A giant eating sushi.

Looks great, dude.

Also, you probably should, like, go talk to your dad.

Hmm.

Oh yeah.
