- ATTACK ME.

- HASN'T LIFE ATTACKED YOU ENOUGH?

- I JUST STARTED MY KRAV MAGA DEFENSE CLASS.

ATTACK ME!

OW!

NOT LIKE THAT.

- IF YOU CAN'T DEFEND YOURSELF FROM A BANANA,

THEN YOU BETTER STAY OUT OF CHIMP TOWN.

- ALL RIGHT, COME HERE. GRAB MY ARM.

NO, NO, WRAP IT-- WRAP IT THAT--

WRAP IT AROUND, AND THEN GRAB THIS ONE.

NO, WRAP THIS--

- YOU'RE TAKING A LOT OF THE SPONTANEITY

OUT OF STREET FIGHTING!

- HEY, VINNIE,

LOOK WHAT JUST SPROUTED IN MY HERB GARDEN.

- I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT GOT IN THERE.

- IT'S OREGANO. I PLANTED IT.

SEE, I HAD THIS GREAT IDEA.

I WANT TO PUT IN A GARDEN

IN THE SCHOOL'S OLD TETHERBALL COURT,

BUT I NEED AN ADULT

TO PROPOSE MY IDEA TO THE PTA TONIGHT.

- BUMMER.

- NO, I MEAN YOU CAN DO IT.

- UGH!

PTA.

I DON'T KNOW, THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING

YOU GOT TO WEAR SHOES FOR, HUH?

[quirky brass music]

*

- * I NEVER FELT SO GOOD

- * NEVER FELT SO GOOD

- * I NEVER FELT SO GOOD

- * NEVER FELT SO GOOD

- * SO WAIT A MINUTE

* HEY

* I NEVER FELT SO GOOD

- WELL, HELLO. HERE'S A NEW FACE.

- ACTUALLY, I'VE HAD THIS FACE FOR A WHILE NOW.

I'M VINNIE.

- I'M SUZANNE, THE SCHOOL LIBRARIAN,

RECENTLY DIVORCED, JUST FINISHED A CLEANSE.

OH, WAIT.

NOT QUITE FINISHED.

WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME, PLEASE?

THANK YOU.

- HEY, NEWBIE, WATCH YOURSELF.

I'VE LAID A LOT OF GROUNDWORK WITH THESE LADIES.

I DON'T NEED YOU COMING IN HERE

WITH YOUR ROCK-AND-ROLL HAIR AND YOUR MOVES LIKE JAGGER.

- DON'T WORRY.

I'M JUST HERE TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL

FOR THE OLD TETHERBALL COURT.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHO I TALK TO ABOUT THAT?

- OH, YEAH, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE THAT UP WITH CAMMIE,

THE PTA PRESIDENT.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

EVEN I COULDN'T SHUCK THAT CORN.

- UH, EXCUSE ME, MADAM PRESIDENT?

- OH, HEY THERE. CALL ME CAMMIE.

- WELL, HI, CAMMIE. I'M VINNIE BASSETT.

- BASSETT.

OH, YOU MUST BE WENDELL'S UNCLE.

[chuckles]

HE'S THE ONLY STUDENT

WHO READS THE PTA NEWSLETTER.

- [chuckles]

- ALWAYS CRITICIZING ME

FOR USING TOO MANY SEMICOLONS.

[laughs]

HE IS SUCH A DELIGHT.

- 'CAUSE HE HAS A GREAT IDEA FOR THE OLD TETHERBALL COURT.

IS THERE A PROCESS TO INTRODUCE THIS, OR...

- I WILL JUST PUT IT RIGHT AT THE TOP

OF TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

- THANK YOU, CAMMIE. - YOU'RE QUITE WELCOME.

AND THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT.

IT IS SO TERRIFIC TO FINALLY SEE A MAN

GETTING INVOLVED IN THE PTA.

- WELL, AREN'T YOU THE BELLE OF THE BALL?

I'M WATCHING YOU, RINGO.

- THANKS FOR SAVING ME A SEAT.

- [bangs gavel]

PLEASE, EVERYBODY, BE SEATED

SO WE CAN GET STARTED.

ALL RIGHT.

FIRST, WE HAVE A NEW FACE IN THE CROWD TONIGHT,

A MALE FACE.

THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TOO OFTEN.

- OH, COME ON!

- ON THE AGENDA IS A PROPOSAL

FOR THE TETHERBALL SPACE.

- OH, THANK YOU, CAMMIE. - OH?

- I JUST WANT TO READ YOU ALL THE WORDS OF A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY

FILLED WITH IDEALISM AND HOPE.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, OUR PLANET IS DYING.

OUR ONCE-VERDANT ORB"--

OKAY, I'M JUST GONNA SUMMARIZE HERE.

BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH, DA-DA...

BIOLOGY, GENETICS...

DA-DA-DA-DA-DA...

POLAR BEARS.

DEATH?

RACE WAR?

OKAY, I THINK WE ALL GET THE POINT.

THE KID WANTS A GARDEN.

THANK YOU.

- THANK YOU, VINNIE,

FOR PAINTING SUCH A VIVID PICTURE.

HOWEVER, WE ARE ALREADY DOWN THE ROAD

ON ANOTHER OPTION FOR THAT SPACE.

SO NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA,

WE ARE GOING TO--

- WAIT, THAT'S IT? IT'S OVER?

- [chuckles]

WELL, YOUR PROPOSAL HAS BEEN HEARD,

AND NOW WE'RE MOVING ON.

[bangs gavel]

- CAN WE AT LEAST TAKE A VOTE?

- [chuckles] I'VE GAVELED.

- YEAH, BUT HE WORKED PRETTY HARD ON--

- MOVING ON!

- YOU HEARD HER, KEANU.

- YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD DO TONIGHT

TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER?

I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT.

YOU'LL NEVER GO BACK.

- TIJUANA?

[quirky brass music]

- STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE!

OH, MY GOD! IT WORKED!

- WHAT WORKED? WHY'D YOU DO THAT?

- IT'S KRAV MAGA.

WHENEVER I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE,

I'M SUPPOSED TO ASSERT MY BOUNDARIES

WITHOUT BEING POLITE

OR WORRYING ABOUT HURTING SOMEONE'S FEELINGS.

- OH, YOU'VE BEEN DOING KRAV MAGA SINCE BIRTH.

- HOW'D THE PTA GO?

- AH, I GOT PWNED.

PRESIDENT COMPLETELY SHUT ME DOWN.

SHE SEEMED REAL NICE AT FIRST.

THEN SHE TURNED OUT TO BE THIS RUTHLESS,

COLD-BLOODED SHARK WITH DEAD EYES.

YOU'D LIKE HER.

- WHAT ABOUT WENDELL'S GARDEN?

- IT LOOKS LIKE WENDELL'S NOT GONNA GET ONE.

APPARENTLY, COMMANDER CAMMIE

HAS OTHER PLANS FOR THE SPACE.

- WENDELL'S GONNA BE SO DISAPPOINTED.

- I'M SURE HE'S FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT IT.

- UNCLE VINNIE,

LOOK AT ALL THE PLANTS I HAVE FOR THE GARDEN!

- IT'S COMPLETELY SLIPPED HIS MIND.

- CHECK IT OUT.

I GOT SEED SELECTION, CROP ROTATIONS,

IRRIGATION AND COMPOST SCHEDULES.

OH, I EVEN GOT A RABBIT

AND A FENCE TO KEEP THE RABBIT OUT.

- LOOK HOW HE BROKE IT DOWN INTO DIFFERENT THEMES.

HE'S GOT A BUTTERFLY GARDEN, A RAIN FOREST GARDEN,

AND THE SWEETEST THING:

WENDELL TOLD ME HE AND HIS MOM DESIGNED THIS TOGETHER.

- YOUR MOM?

- YEAH.

MOM AND I WERE WORKING ON THIS FOR MY OTHER SCHOOL,

BUT WE NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO FINISH IT.

- OH, THAT'S--

THAT'S REALLY, UM... [choking up]

- I'M GONNA NEED TO TAKE A KNEE.

- SO, VINNIE, WHEN ARE WE BREAKING GROUND?

- SOON. REAL SOON.

THERE'S ANOTHER PTA MEETING NEXT WEEK.

I JUST GOT TO CROSS SOME "T"s, DOT SOME "I"s,

SHUCK SOME CORN, BUT IT'S HAPPENING.

- THIS CALLS FOR A TOAST. WENDELL, JUICE BOXES ALL AROUND.

- WHY WOULD YOU SAY IT'S GONNA HAPPEN?

- WHAT DID YOU WANT ME TO SAY?

- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

both: SHH!

- OH, MY GOD.

THEY SAID NO, DIDN'T THEY?

both: SHH!

- OH, MY GOD, BUT THIS WAS HIS MOTHER'S DREAM!

- YEAH! - I HEARD HIM!

- BUT WHEN HE FINDS OUT--

- BUT HE'S NOT GONNA FIND OUT,

BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA KEEP YOUR PRETTY MOUTH SHUT!

- [sobbing]

HIS LITTLE FACE!

[both shouting]

SUMMER SQUASH!

- I SWEAR TO GOD,

I HAVE 16 WAYS TO CHOKE YOU OUT!

- HEY, WENDELL!

- THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

- WINNER! JUICE BOX!

- YAY.

- BAD NEWS.

THERE'S ONLY THREE JUICE BOXES LEFT.

- [sobbing]

[quirky brass music]

- SO IS THAT THE QUEEN BEE?

- YEP, SHE'S A TOTAL "B."

- TURNS OUT I FIRED MY HOUSEKEEPER FOR NOTHING.

[laughter]

- THE ONLY REASON WHY SHE HAS ANY POWER

IS 'CAUSE SHE'S CONSOLIDATED HER SUPPORT.

BEFORE WE CONQUER, WE MUST FIRST DIVIDE.

- IT IS NOT GONNA BE EASY.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS WOMAN IS LIKE.

- I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THIS WOMAN IS LIKE.

SHE RATTLES AROUND IN HER SOULLESS MCMANSION.

HER NANNIES TAKE CARE OF HER KIDS.

HER HUSBAND'S JUST A PAYCHECK TO HER.

DAMN! SOME PEOPLE HAVE IT ALL.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS.

OH.

- HEY, TIGHT PANTS.

- HEY.

- I LIKE THE WAY YOU STOOD UP TO CAMMIE.

IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE PUT HER IN HER PLACE,

AND IT MIGHT AS WELL BE THE MAN THAT I'M DATING.

- WHAT? - NOTHING.

DON'T LISTEN TO ME.

[sniffing]

YEAH.

- DID-- DID SHE--

- THEY DON'T GET A LOT OF MEN HERE.

- OH, HI.

I'M A LONG-HAIRED DOOFUS WHO THINKS HE'S HOT SNOT.

WANT TO HEAR ME SAY DUMB STUFF ALL NIGHT?

HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?

- YOU BRING YOUR BROWNIES OVER TO THE WORKING MOMS.

I'M GONNA MAKE THE YOGA MOMS FEEL SUPERIOR

BY NOT EATING MINE.

AND REMEMBER, IF YOU RUN INTO ANY RESISTANCE...

- PLAY THE ORPHAN CARD.

- BINGO.

- [bangs gavel] OKAY, LET'S GET STARTED.

FIRST-- - EXCUSE ME. CAMMIE?

- OH, MR. BASSETT.

SO NICE TO HAVE YOU HERE AGAIN.

- DON'T PATRONIZE ME.

- OH, I WOULDN'T DO THAT.

[mockingly] YOU'RE TOO SMART TO BE PATRONIZED.

- THAT'S MORE LIKE IT.

NOW, I MOVE TO BRING THE GARDEN PROPOSAL

UP FOR A VOTE.

- SECOND.

- OH, I'M SORRY.

WE DISPENSED WITH THAT ISSUE LAST WEEK.

- WELL, I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH VOTES

TO OVERRIDE THAT VETO.

ALL IN FAVOR OF VOTING ON THIS ISSUE,

RAISE YOUR HANDS.

- OH, VERY WELL.

I WILL ACCEDE TO THE WISHES OF THE QUORUM.

[indistinct approving murmurs]

JUST BEFORE I DO, I HAVE ONE LITTLE ANNOUNCEMENT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY BE INVITED

TO MY ANNUAL PRESIDENT'S PARTY AND CHAMPAGNE HOEDOWN,

THE PARTY FAVORS THIS YEAR WILL BE MARC JACOBS BAGS,

EACH CONTAINING A GIFT CERTIFICATE

FOR TWO FOR A SPA RETREAT IN SEDONA.

YEAH, SO...

SO WHERE WERE WE? [chuckles]

THOSE OF YOU IN FAVOR OF MR. BASSETT'S GARDEN,

WHICH I AM AGAINST,

PLEASE RAISE YOUR HANDS.

OH, SO THAT'S FINAL. THERE WILL BE NO GARDEN.

- SORRY, BRO.

BUT THAT'S, LIKE, A $1,200 BAG.

- OKAY, WAIT A MINUTE.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS A DONE DEAL.

- I'M SORRY.

- LOOK AT THAT LITTLE ANGEL.

HE JUST WANTED SOME TURNIPS.

- YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST.

AND WILMA EVEN PROMISED THIS PATHETIC BALD MAN

SHE'D GO ON A DATE WITH HIM TO MEDIEVAL TIMES.

- [laughs]

OH, BETTER CALL ME, THAT SMELLY LITTLE FREAK.

- SO WHAT'S OUR NEXT MOVE?

- WELL, I'M SORRY, PAL. THERE IS NO NEXT MOVE.

- SO THAT'S IT? YOU'RE JUST GIVING UP?

- SOMETIMES THAT'S THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS.

YOU GOT TO KNOW WHEN YOU'RE BEAT.

- YOU SURPRISE ME, UNCLE VINNIE.

YOU'RE NOT USUALLY A QUITTER.

I MEAN, THINK OF HOW MANY TIMES

YOU'VE BEEN REJECTED BY TARYN.

- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'D CALL IT "REJECTED."

- NO, YOU SHOULD CALL IT "REJECTED."

- BUT DO YOU GIVE UP?

NO, YOU CONTINUE TO HUMILIATE YOURSELF

DAY AFTER DAY,

WEEK AFTER WEEK,

PROMISING ONE DAY TO GIVE THAT GIRL

WHAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW SHE NEEDS.

THAT ONE DAY, YOU'RE GONNA TAP--

- OKAY, ALL RIGHT! NOT ANY MORE!

- LOOK, YOU ALL CAN QUIT IF YOU WANT,

BUT I'M NOT GIVING UP.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA DO IT,

BUT I'M GONNA GET THAT GARDEN.

- [sighs]

MAYBE WENDELL'S RIGHT.

MAYBE YOU ARE GIVING UP TOO SOON.

- IF ONLY WE KNEW

WHAT CAMMIE WANTED THAT SPACE FOR.

MAYBE WE COULD FIGHT IT.

WE NEED SOMEBODY ON THE INSIDE.

- THE LIBRARIAN.

SOMEONE SHOULD GET FRIENDLY WITH HER.

- OH.

I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT,

BUT WE ALL GOT TO MAKE SACRIFICES.

GOOD LUCK, TARYN. WEAR TIGHT PANTS.

[quirky brass music]

OH!

[chuckles]

OOH.

ARE YOU SURE WE SHOULD BE DOING THIS HERE?

- PLEASE. IT'S A SCHOOL LIBRARY.

NOBODY COMES IN HERE.

- [chuckling nervously]

- BUT IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER,

WE CAN GO INTO THE MICROFICHE ROOM.

NOBODY'S BEEN THERE SINCE 1987.

- OH.

WELL, MAYBE BEFORE WE DO OUR RESEARCH.

[both laugh]

YOU KNOW, WHY IS CAMMIE SO DEAD SET

AGAINST WENDELL'S GARDEN?

- SHE WANTS TO TURN IT INTO PARKING SPACES

FOR THE PRINCIPAL, THE SUPERINTENDANT,

AND THE PTA PRESIDENT.

- WAIT A MINUTE.

CAMMIE WANTS HER OWN PARKING SPACE?

THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT?

- YEAH, SHE'S BEEN DYING FOR A SPOT FOR YEARS.

SHE'S FINALLY FAST-TRACKED IT.

THEY START PAVING TOMORROW MORNING.

- WAIT, TOMORROW? THERE IS--

- SHH!

WE ARE IN A LIBRARY!

- HERE WE GO.

- DID YOU HAVE BETTER LUCK

WITH THE GARDEN PETITION THAN I DID?

I GOT MORE PEOPLE TO SIGN UP FOR TRIPLE HOMEWORK THURSDAYS.

- I DIDN'T DO SO BAD.

I GOT AT LEAST 150.

- WHAT? THAT'S FANTASTIC.

THIS IS ALL YOUR HANDWRITING.

- NAMES ARE NAMES. WHO'S GONNA KNOW?

- "SUZIE FAKE NAME"?

- I GOT TIRED.

- WE'VE GOT TO DO THIS RIGHT

IF WE'RE GONNA MAKE A REAL CHANGE.

- SOMETIMES REAL CHANGE NEEDS FAKE SIGNATURES.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

- WHAT, UH, HAPPENED TO YOU?

- WELL, WENDELL,

THE BAD NEWS IS,

THEY'RE TURNING YOUR GARDEN SPACE

INTO A PARKING LOT TOMORROW.

THE GOOD NEWS--

THERE IS NO GOOD NEWS.

[quirky brass music]

- OH, OKAY, OKAY.

I JUST GOT OFF MY PHONE WITH MY FRIEND

WHO WORKS DOWN AT CITY HALL.

SHE'S NOW ENGAGED TO A GUY I USED TO DATE.

- AND?

- AND--AND, LEGALLY, WE'RE OUT OF OPTIONS.

- I'M TELLING YOU, I MAKE ONE PHONE CALL,

AND THAT PTA LADY HAS A LITTLE BOATING ACCIDENT.

- THAT'S IT.

I GIVE UP.

- REALLY?

- I'VE BEEN TOLD A LOT OVER THE PAST YEAR

THAT LIFE ISN'T FAIR.

GUESS THIS IS JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE TIMES.

- HEY, NO, NO, NO. WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

NO, NO. THIS ISN'T OVER.

- THE BULLDOZERS WILL BE HERE IN THE MORNING,

AND YOU HEARD AUNT WILMA.

WE'RE OUT OF OPTIONS.

- NO, WE'RE OUT OF LEGAL OPTIONS.

- FINALLY. GIVE ME THAT PHONE.

- WHAT?

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYBODY.

- COME DOWN TO THE MARINA AND SAY THAT.

- YOU WANT A GARDEN?

WE'RE GONNA BUILD THAT GARDEN RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.

- WE DON'T HAVE PERMISSION.

- WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR PERMISSION.

WE'RE GONNA GET SOME SHOVELS,

WE'RE GONNA GET SOME PLANTS,

AND WE'RE GONNA BUILD THAT GARDEN TONIGHT.

BY TOMORROW MORNING WHEN THE BULLDOZERS SHOW UP,

NO ONE WILL DARE DESTROY THAT GARDEN

OR THE BASEBALL PLAYERS WHO WILL COME OUT OF THE CORN.

- BUT WE COULD GET ARRESTED.

- YOU KNOW WHAT?

SOMETIMES, NO MATTER WHAT THE AUTHORITIES SAY,

YOU GOT TO STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS RIGHT.

IT'S LIKE THAT MOVIE

WHERE THE GUY STOOD UP TO THOSE GERMANS.

- SCHINDLER'S LIST?

- NO, DIE HARD.

- I DON'T KNOW.

I'M A LITTLE SCARED.

- WELL, IF YOU WANT THAT GARDEN,

YOU GOT TO BE BRAVE.

GOT TO FIGHT YOUR FEAR.

YOU WITH ME?

- YOU BET I'M WITH YOU. - YES.

- LET'S GIVE THIS SCHOOL WHAT IT DOESN'T KNOW IT NEEDS.

[quirky brass music]

[sighs]

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINED IT.

- ME TOO.

EXCEPT IT WAS PROTECTED BY A MONKEY ARMY

LOYAL ONLY TO ME.

- AND I GUESS THAT'S WHY

I WAS NEVER REALLY CLOSE WITH MY MOTHER.

I MEAN, GOD.

I DIDN'T PUT IT TOGETHER TILL JUST NOW.

- THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, TARYN, FOR HELPING ME THROUGH THIS.

- WAIT.

YOU'VE BEEN TALKING TO ME THIS WHOLE TIME?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE ON YOUR PHONE.

[siren wails]

- UNCLE VINNIE, IT'S THE POLICE!

- COULD BE A DJ.

- WHAT DO WE DO? WHAT DO WE DO?

- DON'T WORRY.

AS LONG AS WE STAND TOGETHER,

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.

- [grunting]

I WASN'T ESCAPING.

I WAS COMING TO GREET YOU GUYS.

WELCOME TO--

- OKAY, PARTY'S OVER.

WE GOT A CALL YOU WERE TRESPASSING.

- YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THEY WANT TO PUT IN A PARKING LOT.

BUT WE WANTED TO SHOW THE SCHOOL

HOW BEAUTIFUL A GARDEN WOULD BE INSTEAD.

- OFFICERS, SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

HERE IS OUR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FLAGRANTLY...

GARDENING.

- COME ON, CAMMIE.

YOU'RE REALLY GONNA TEAR UP A LITTLE BOY'S DREAM

JUST SO YOU CAN BE 20 FEET CLOSER TO THE SCHOOL?

- LOOK, LOOK, NO ONE WORKS HARDER

FOR THIS SCHOOL THAN I DO.

I DESERVE THIS PARKING SPOT.

- CAMMIE, COME HERE. OVER HERE.

LOOK, WE'RE NOT SO DIFFERENT, YOU AND I.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE BOTH VERY STRONG,

VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

WHO ARE NOT USED TO ANYONE CHALLENGING OUR AUTHORITY,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE LEARNED

IN MY EXPLORATION OF THE MARTIAL ARTS?

- OH.

- I'VE LEARNED THAT THE ULTIMATE USE OF POWER

IS CHOOSING NOT TO EXERCISE THAT POWER.

- DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF. YOU AND I ARE NOTHING ALIKE.

- OKAY, GRAB MY ARM.

- WELL, MA'AM, IT'S A NICE GARDEN.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

- I WANT YOU TO GET THEM OUT OF HERE

SO THAT THE BULLDOZERS CAN GET STARTED.

- BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THIS GARDEN AWAY FROM US.

- OH, YES, I CAN, SEMICOLON,

AND I WILL.

PERIOD.

- [sighs]

I WOULD HAVE USED TWO PERIODS, BUT WHATEVER.

WRITER'S CHOICE.

- I'M SORRY, BUT IF YOU DON'T LEAVE,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO ARREST YOU.

- WELL, I'M PROUD OF THIS GARDEN.

AND I'M PROUD OF WENDELL.

SO I'M NOT LEAVING.

- ME NEITHER.

- COUNT ME IN.

- OKAY, THIS IS A REALLY NICE OUTFIT,

AND I'M NOT GETTING IT DIRTY,

BUT I'M WITH THEM.

JUST IMAGINE ME SITTING.

- WELL, OFFICER, YOU'RE A PUBLIC SERVANT.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT.

AND I'LL BET YOU SOME FRESH PERSIMMONS

YOU'LL DO IT.

OW! OKAY!

- VINNIE! - DON'T WORRY, WENDELL.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA ARREST A KID.

- VINNIE!

- DAMN! AM I EVER RIGHT ABOUT ANYTHING?

HEY.

THANKS FOR BAILING US OUT, LACY.

- NO PROBLEM.

BUT IF YOU RUN, I WILL FIND YOU.

- [chuckles]

[whispering] I BELIEVE HER.

- HOW YOU DOING, KIDDO?

- [sighs]

NOT GREAT.

- WHY?

YOU SHOULD FEEL TERRIFIC.

YOU STOOD UP FOR SOMETHING YOU BELIEVE IN.

AND FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, YOU MADE SOMETHING REALLY NICE.

- I JUST-- I FEEL LIKE--

I FEEL LIKE I LET MY MOM DOWN.

- LET HER DOWN?

[scoffs] ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

COME HERE. SIT DOWN.

YOUR MOTHER WOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOU.

- THERE'S NO GARDEN.

- YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE IS A GARDEN.

AND I'M WATCHING IT GROW EVERY DAY.

AND IT'S BECOMING

SOMETHING AS WONDERFUL AS SHE WOULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED.

HEY.

TURNS OUT YOUR MOM WAS A PRETTY GOOD GARDENER.

- THANKS, UNCLE VINNIE.

- HEY, NO WORRIES, KID.

- AND, YOU KNOW, JAIL WASN'T AS SCARY

AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

- WASN'T AS SCARY AS THE LIBRARY.

[gentle acoustic guitar music]
