You sure about this, mum?

Don't worry!

I've been staying with you long enough,

it's time I had my own space.

Well, I know, it's just that

-is that my lamp? -Is it?

Maureen!

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Oh, Aiden, you are so sweet.

Well, thank you! [laughing]

What?

There's, there's nothing going on.

Well, he's the one who suggested I move in,

so I think he is a little bit smitten. [laughs]

Oh, I understand.

I'm moving out, TJ's in prison--

Rehab.

-He's in rehab, mum. -So you don't have

-anyone to fuss over. -[crunching footsteps]

Mal, what's going on?

Not quite sure yet.

[upbeat blues guitar music]

[Girl] You're so mean to me, Dan!

[students talking]

[footsteps clicking]

So exactly how long are you gonna be moping for?

Uncertain end date.

Maybe graduation.

-You could talk to her. -[scoffs] Bad idea.

Why?

What would I say?

"Hey, how have ya been since I tried to kiss you

"and you immediately legged it?

-"Wanna see a film?" -So what you gonna do?

Was thinkin' of writin' poetry.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

We are not going down that road.

You're not gonna let this ruin everything.

What about your music, who you gonna play with?

[shrugging]

So talk to her.

And?

No poetry.

-[school bell rings] -[hand slapping]

Much better.

Come on!

[pensive bluesy guitar]

[water rushing]

[Business Lady] Yeah, I think court's.

[phone ringing]

-[feet tapping] -[Secretary] Hi, thank you.

-[feet tapping] -Hey, Mal!

Herman, hi!

-[phone ringing] -How's the family?

Goin' good, goin' good!

Conan's makin' waves down there at Fort Joy.

Sergeant said he ain't never seen anybody

so willing to take a bullet.

-That's great. -How can I help?

I found a sign outside my park

saying something about a new development.

Kissimmee Grove Condos!

Beautiful design.

-You know about it? -Oh sure.

Developer's a buddy of mine.

So you know that they're planning on building on my land?

-[papers tapping] -[sighs] Mal,

this is America.

Land changes hands all the time.

You know, Louisiana used to be France.

Sorry, what has this got to do with--

Now the developers may have

jumped the gun just a little bit on this,

but I think they know the way the wind is blowin'.

After my reelection,

I intend to severely restrict zoning on RV parks.

No, no, no, no, no, wait a minute, you can't do that.

Well, actually, I can.

What am I supposed to do, huh?

I mean you're talkin' about my business,

this is my family's livelihood.

Oh, come on now, Mal.

You'll find somethin' else, you're a smart guy!

You're resourceful, you're adaptable,

that's what I like about you.

What about my residents, where are they meant to go?

Lookee-here:

my aim is to raise the profile of this area.

Now don't take this personal, but RV parks like yours

are a real embarrassment to this county.

[chair sliding]

-[bouncy bass guitar] -My advice to you:

sell up before the election

while that land's worth somethin'.

You know how much the French got for Louisiana:

[speaking bad French] "pas beaucoup".

Ooh, gotta run.

For reelection.

Now [stammers]

Herman, Herman!

Herman!

[shouting] Herman!

[Herman] Don't forget to vote!

[blues guitar]

I know that you don't mind but I'm so sorry

that I'm still in the RV and I swear that I'll be out soon.

Stacee, don't be silly,

it's yours for as long as you need it.

[birds twittering]

So, what's happening with you and your ex?

Nothing good. [sighs]

Is he still not paying his child support?

No, he's not that petty good-for-nothing piece of--

Stacee!

You can't keep letting him get away with this.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

You used to love him but you're letting that blind you.

You need to tell him to pay his dues

or the next time you speak to him will be in family court.

Yeah.

I needed that.

Thank you, Jen.

Thanks.

[light electric organ]

[quizzical music]

[laughing]

-[phone ringing] -[hands hitting table]

Well?

Well.

-[phone ringing] -It's a solid application

and I'm sure you're gonna make a fine candidate

-for State College. -No, no, no, no but

none of my choices are in state.

I'm goin' for Yale, Brown--

Tina, I like you

but half my job is expectation management.

And I like you.

But I'm on three different sports teams,

my grade point average is higher--

And those woulda been impressive.

In 1998.

Everyone at Yale has straight As, okay?

Everyone's on the track team and,

don't take this personally, but the kids at Yale

have got better people skills than you.

-Excuse me? -See what I mean?

A real Yale student wouldn't have taken that personally.

[hands sliding]

So, what do I need to do?

It just needs to be a little more

[voice whooshing]

You know?

[light funky music]

Hey!

Freddie.

-Hi. -You haven't been around.

No, I've had

some things and.

-Look, I just wanna say. -Wait, wait.

-[funky electronic music] -Watch this.

Hey yo, it's ya boy, Wyatt.

-[airhorn sounding] -[screaming]

Back to blow your little mind.

-[airhorn sounding] -[screaming]

Here in my brand new music studios,

everything is top of the line.

Listen, shout out to this new song I heard on SoundCloud.

♪ Call my name ♪

-That's us. -Yeah.

Don't know who the singer is but she sounds way hot.

[beeping]

As soon as I saw it, I thought,

"No way is he using our stuff for free."

So I sent him a message,

made up all this stuff about suing him.

And it totally worked.

What did?

He said we can use his recording studio for free.

-[students talking] -[light electric organ]

Oh. [sighs]

-Are you not excited? -No, I am, yeah.

It's just.

I know it's been a little,

but this could be great for us.

For our music.

Yeah, yeah,

I'm just really busy and--

Can you think about it at least?

Sure, yep, yeah.

Sure.

Ryan is drivin' me up the absolute wall.

Is he not taking his--

Oh no, he knows to take his pills.

But does that mean he'll go out and find a job?

Not uh.

He spends all his free time

trampin' around in the bushes by the park.

Okay.

Why?

He's convinced there's a business in it.

Tours of Kissimmee's wildlife, blah blah blah.

But I keep telling him,

the animals around here are butt ugly.

Well, if he wants to be a decent partner,

he needs a stable income.

Once he gets that sorted, he can start his swamp safari.

-Does that help? -It does, it really does.

I'm gonna get right to it.

Anyone else want a chat?

[footsteps tapping]

[Dorothy] Ryan, if you're in those woods again, I swear!

I don't quite know how to say this.

I've just found out that

as soon as Herman gets reelected as mayor,

he's gonna allow developers to buy up our land

and build luxury condors as far as the bloody eye can see.

Basically, he's on a mission

to wipe out every RV park in the area.

-Can he even do that? -Yeah he really can.

Jen, we're gonna have to seriously think about selling up.

But I thought we were finally getting somewhere.

I know.

-[dramatic music] -I know.

-[school bell ringing] -[students talking]

Everyone has a cause, why didn't you tell me?

I thought you knew,

it's like mandatory for college applications.

[sighs] So what's everyone doing?

Let's see.

Zane Harper is teaching Ultimate Frisbee in prisons.

Lisa Ripley is teaching coding to single moms.

Lisa Pratt and Sally Cho

are both running vegan soup kitchens.

Between us, that is causing drama!

All the good causes can't be taken.

-How bout, save the alligators? -Louie Turner.

-Cleaning oil spills. -Maria Vasquez

I don't believe this.

What are you doing?

I'm petitioning the school to cut down on plastics!

Why do you think I'm carrying her around?

Yeah, I did wonder.

It's Tilly the Thwarted Turtle.

She makes me sad.

"My name's Tilly the Thwarted Turtle, don't I make you sad?"

Nothing?

All right everybody calm down, just calm down.

You can't just kick us out.

I feel like I finally found a home here.

It's been two days.

Mr. and Mrs. Pemberton, surely there's some recourse.

Yeah, you can't close the park now.

No, the cafe's booming.

And you just got the ice machine workin' again.

That ain't right, why don't we

inform the media what's goin' on?

-[group agrees] -Oh yes, an exposé

in the Kissimmee Sentinel.

"Corrupt Mayor in Bed with Dodgy Developers".

There are more people sittin' around here

than read the Kissimmee Sentinel!

So we lawyer up.

We sue Herman.

We take our case all the way to the Supreme Court!

Do you think they'd actually care?

They dang well should, this land is home

to many precious flora and fauna.

Not again.

Including the red-throated scrub turkey,

the most endangered bird in the Kissimmee area.

We just need to get rid of Herman.

Sorry, what?

I think she means [cutting] get rid of him.

Stacee, we're not gonna kill him!

No, I didn't mean that.

But I do know a guy, who knows a guy.

Cross that one off, all right?

If we're not gonna sue him and we ain't gonna kill him,

why don't one of us run against him?

Who's gonna beat Bloch?

We don't need to beat him.

Kissimmee elections are notoriously volatile.

The last three mayoral races have been squeakers.

So?

Find a candidate that's just qualified enough

to steal a few votes so he loses.

That's it!

Mal, why don't you run?

[group laughing]

A British mayor?

[Woman] No.

No, no one's gonna vote for that.

Not in my lifetime. [laughing]

Hey Ryan, why don't you run?

Nah, I've been barred from public office.

Oh.

Dorothy?

I don't believe in representative democracy.

Brilliant.

Aiden, what about you?

Oh, I would run but I don't have the stature.

Aww, your height's got nothing to do with it!

[laughs] Thank you Maureen, but I mean

stature within the community, I'm a nobody in this town.

Whoever runs has to be known by folks.

He has to be fundamentally likable.

An everyman with no pretense.

He has to be relatable, non-threatening,

he has to be a public servant.

What we need is a man of the people!

[Man] Yeah, yeah!

[Jen] Mal?

Hey, why's everybody lookin' at me?

[bluesy guitar]

[hazy electronic beat]

[mumbling]

[laughing]

-Freddie. -Hi, yeah, you all right?

Oh, you're English.

Weird, I like it.

Meet the guys: this is Bongo, CJ and Mute Mike.

We call him that because he doesn't talk.

-Hey what's up! -What did I just say, man!

[exhaling]

So, this is the space.

So can we use the mixing desk?

I don't know about that, no.

I mean, if you could show me how to use it.

Oh sure, I know this stuff in and out.

I've got a new mixtape dropping soon.

Advance word is: game changer!

Wow, I would love to hear that.

Oh, for sure, yeah.

Okay, I've got a free slot for you guys next week.

-That's great. -No, uh,

could we have a chat first?

Oh yeah, do your thing.

Yeah.

What is wrong?

What was all that about with your,

"Oh, I'd love to hear it"?

Freddie, he's an idiot, okay?

We're getting a really good deal.

So you're not into him then?

What?

No, no, oh my god, no.

This was a bad idea.

You're freaking out over nothing.

-What happened last week was-- -It didn't just happen,

it's still.

It's not your fault, this just isn't gonna work out.

How is that fair?

We're a team, we're supposed to be doing this together.

How else am I gonna get back to New York?

-Oh, yeah, sounds, yeah. -Oh, come on.

Oh come on, Freddie, I didn't mean it like.

Hey, can you bounce?

We're about to shoot a prank video in here

and we need to fill the whole room with jello.

[hoots]

[pensive keyboard music]

Mute, Mike, mute!

You want me to be Mayor of Kissimmee?

No, I want you to run for mayor.

-But not win? -Exactly.

You just need enough votes to make Herman lose.

-But what about if I do win? -[iron sizzling]

What?

I was class president in middle school three years over.

Well then you got experience, haven't ya?

Oh, that's crazy.

I can't even remember the last time I voted.

Well that's fine because nobody votes.

-It makes you more relatable. -But I'm just a beat cop.

Yeah, yeah, and people will love that, you know?

You're the, the "Law & Order" candidate.

Perfect!

That's good.

I do have some great ideas

like gettin' free popcorn when you donate blood.

[material flaps]

Yeah, well that is something

but your main policy will be supporting RV parks.

Or gifting retired drug-sniffing dogs

-to delinquent teens. -[brush rubbing]

Yeah [stammering] and protecting RV parks.

Or one day a week goin' out in just your underwear.

We'll call it "Skivvy Sunday".

Mainly pro-RV park.

Mal, do you really think I can do this?

We need a populist.

If you're gonna beat an incumbent, you need somebody

who knows absolutely nothing about politics.

I don't even know what incumbent means.

But you're lookin' at the future Mayor Pepper.

-[downtempo blues] -[brush rubbing]

[knocking]

-Hi, Jen! -Hi, Dorothy, is Ryan around?

[shouting] Ryan!

-[laughing] -[birds tweeting]

-[leaves rustling] -[shouting turkey call]

-[birds singing] -[leaves rustling]

Mum!

Why are we here?

You said you need a cause for your college application.

So how about,

Ryan?

Red-throated scrub turkey. [speaking Latin]

The most endangered species native to Kissimmee.

-The scrub turkey is well-known -See?

-for its distinctive call. -Look, thanks for trying,

but it's not gonna make a difference.

-Why not? -Because.

[bird squawking]

You see, the scrub turkey

Because people at school

are curing malaria with gummi bears

and I'm followin' some turkey I don't even care about.

Wait a second.

Tina Pemberton, do you think that I actually want to be

out here in the middle of nowhere looking for a bird?

-Yes. -No, of course I don't.

Mum!

It's important to care about

politics and nature and other people,

and I am so proud about how conscientious you are.

But part of being an adult is doing things

because they need to be done.

And sometimes, if you're very lucky,

something good might come of it.

Jen, Tina, y'all come quick.

Come on!

[light keyboard music]

Behold, the red-throated scrub turkey.

[turkey squawking]

Ryan, that is the ugliest bird I've ever seen.

No.

[turkey squawking]

It's perfect.

Right, Marvin, when you're ready.

Hello, Marvin Pepper and I'm Kissimmee.

I'm Marvin Pepper, you might know me as the guy

You might know me as the guy who pulls you over

Can I interest you in saving the red-throated?

And that's why were to save the red-throated scrub turkey.

I am too.

Just dandy.

I'm sure you're tickled pink after your little prank.

I think you'll find we're just

exercising our democratic rights.

I'll have you know I have Ida and her gaggle of interns

doin' a deep dive on Dr. Pepper's past.

They've come up with, what is it Ida, three ex-wives?

Lord have mercy.

You just carry on with your dirty tricks, yeah?

You had your chance to back down with the development,

but hey, we'll see you at the ballot box.

You gonna see me at the debate first.

What?

Oh, didn't anybody tell you about that?

There's a debate the day before the election.

I was gonna suggest we hold it at your dingy little park.

Only fair to offer you home court advantage.

Herman, just wait a minute--

Good luck gettin' your man ready.

[phone slams]

Herman!

Jen, I do so appreciate

you listening to my boring old problems.

[laughing]

It's my pleasure.

Is there anything else you'd like to discuss?

Something romantic?

Yes. [sighs]

Though I don't want to be indiscreet.

-Is this about my mum? -Is it that obvious?

-Well, she's-- -So what if she has a crush.

What?

I told her she ought to move into the park.

But once she got here, I began to see there might be

[whispers] feelings.

-But you're not-- -Oh, oh, no.

Wonderful friends.

And I don't want anything more than that

but I don't want to hurt her.

-I see. -Jen, what am I to do?

[blues guitar]

We've gotta be on top of this,

we don't have long to get it right.

When you're ready!

Right.

The problem with RV parks is that they're overcrowded

and they pollute the area's natural beauty.

Furthermore, management is lazy

and forgets to wear deodorant.

Thank you, Mayor Bloch.

Candidate Pepper, how do you respond?

First, I'd like to talk about

my proposed "Skivvy Sunday" policy.

No, Jesus, Marvin,

-how many times? -Sorry, Mal.

Keep it brief, personal and about RV parks.

-Okay? -Okay, okay.

Marvin, I know you can do this, okay?

Candidate Pepper, what are your thoughts

on the proposed developments?

First, I would like to respond

with a personal story from my own life.

When I was a boy,

there was a little stream at the bottom of my garden.

And one day a family of ducks

came swimming along that stream.

But the smallest, weakest of the ducks somehow--

Marvin, Marvin, Marvin.

What does this gotta do with RV parks?

Sorry, can I get the question again?

-[sighs] -[mellow guitar music]

-Oh for the love of. -Come on, Mal,

I'll get it this time!

Mal!

[Woman] Did you hear that?

-Mayor Bloch? -Oh, come on.

Who keeps lettin' you people in here?

[feet tapping]

[phone ringing]

I reckon your gloatin' daddy sent you.

This isn't about the election.

Oh yeah?

What is it about?

[paper shuffling]

What is that?

Florida's red-throated scrub turkey.

And as we speak, it's teetering on the edge of extinction.

What do you want permission to kill the last one?

I'm here to demand that you set aside a bit of land

to create a conservations area

to protect these beautiful creatures.

Conservation isn't an electable issue

even with attractive animals.

But yeah, but, you can't just--

Oh, hold the phone.

This about college isn't it?

Why don't you speak to your daddy,

get him to retire his candidate before the debate and I'll

write a letter of recommendation for your application.

Letterhead from the mayor's office goes a long day.

No deal.

So be it.

Ida!

No more Pembertons during office hours.

[somber folk music]

Hey, red-throated scrub turkey, that's your campaign?

Well,

yeah.

We have had one of those flyers

on our kitchen table all week.

My daughters are obsessed with it,

they want to crack open their piggy banks to donate.

That better be on your application because

Sorry to interrupt, your dad and I need a bit of a chat.

-Okay. -Is that new?

It's lovely.

Yeah, it started out as a poem at first.

-Really like the tune. -I didn't write that bit.

Well, they go very well together.

We're in the kitchen, all right?

[somber folk music]

I've spoken to the developers.

Dad!

They made us a very good offer,

much better than we'll get after Herman's election.

Which is gonna happen unless Marvin

wakes up tomorrow as Obama.

Right.

But we're not going to decide anything

until we've all had a say.

We still haven't done everything we can to stay.

Well, no.

Can we take it as read, that as your loving parents,

we've got your best interests at heart?

-Yes. -[shrugs]

Well, this could be very good for us.

So what about everyone else, the people at the park?

Where would they go?

Unfortunately sometimes we have

to make decisions that are best for us, just us here.

So, what?

Whatever we decide, you won't go against it?

Even if you disagree?

-Suppose not. -Yeah, but,

think very carefully about what this means.

[birds tweeting]

-[Both] No. -What?

You obviously don't wanna do this.

You've both worked so hard to get us out here.

We like our lives.

We didn't leave Todmorden just so you could give up.

Blimey, we have brought you up well.

[bluesy guitar music]

Jen, Jen.

I need to talk to you.

I do not know how to handle this Aiden situation, I feel

as if I'm torturing the poor man with my very presence.

[birds chirping]

What, nothing?

-No pearls of wisdom? -I don't know what to say.

Oh, so you'll give advice to everyone else here

-but not your own mother? -Mum.

No, come on!

All right, mum.

If you want the truth, Aiden doesn't fancy you,

he actually thinks that you fancy him.

There is no situation here, you're both imagining one.

Oh please! [laughs]

Mr. Pemberton, what vicious malady

I just feel really nauseous and faint.

-Uh huh, sounds nasty. -[groaning]

I think it might be infectious.

All right then, just one moment.

-[siren wailing] -[metal scraping]

[Medic] Right, in you go.

-[metal grinding] -Just relax.

[fabric ripping]

You know, I'm actually feeling a lot better.

-[Medic] Okay. -I really am.

-[Medic] Breathe deeply now. -[siren wailing]

[crowd mumbling]

That's a lot of people.

Marvin, now you can do this, okay?

You are Kissimmee Sunshine Park.

It means a lot you believe in me.

[hand slapping]

Wait, can we go over my policies again?

[Announcer] Please welcome your next candidate,

Marvin Pepper!

Oh well.

-I'll wing it! -[crowd cheers]

[Tyler] I will serve each and every day

as your new Mayor of Kissimmee.

[crowd applauds]

Thank you Candidate Tyler.

And now, let's hear the opening statement

from our third candidate, Marvin Pepper.

[crowd cheering]

[Woman] Yeah, Marvin!

I'd like to say that a vote for Marvin Pepper is a vote

for freedom, self-determination and the American Way.

[crowd cheering]

[Man] That's got some pepper!

Is that it?

You don't wanna say somethin' about RV parks?

[birds tweeting]

[crowd mumbling]

-Oh, I see, well-- -Oh, no, no,

I think he's had his time!

If I may.

The reason why the honorable Mr. Pepper

hasn't prepared a stance on today's topic

is because he's a joke candidate.

Redevelopin' RV parks is solid and reasonable policy.

But I'm not surprised that he's

just a little too busy to read up on the topic,

given his troubled relationship history.

How do you know about that?

Has Irene been talkin' to you?

You tell her, I know she's usin' my Super Saver card

and those are my loyalty points!

[quizzical music]

[huffing]

[Medic] So the cop says to me, "You gotta sedate him".

-And I'm like, "No, you." -[siren wailing]

Come on, man, what's this baby doing?

[wires clicking]

-[siren wailing] -[upbeat electronic music]

Hey!

Hey, kid!

[car honking]

-Just rub it, rub it! -[hard electronic music]

Rub it!

Like you're tryin' to get the genie, go, go!

-[percussion shaking] -Harder.

[mouthing drums]

Love it, love it!

Soundin' great!

Oh, wait.

Stop, two seconds, two seconds.

-You missed her. -Oh.

She mad?

-Or. -No, not mad.

More like sad?

What's with the?

I jumped out the back of an ambulance.

Wow, did you film it?

-No. -Oh, shame.

Hey, can I say something?

Sure.

Madison clearly cares a lot about you, okay,

but not in the way you want.

-We feeling each other? -Yeah.

What I'm saying is,

you need to find a way to value that as it is.

You don't wanna be in the business

of makin' anyone love you,

you need to accept love in whatever form it comes.

Wow.

Thanks.

[English accent] Bruv, you're welcome.

-You know in Oxford-- -Don't you dare!

[somber guitar music]

Let me be perfectly clear: though my esteemed opponent

has never held anything vaguely resembling public office,

even he can see this.

RV parks as Kissimmee's past.

Development is the future!

And as your mayor, I intend to deliver that future!

-[Man] Yeah, Bloch! -[crowd applauds]

[whistling]

Candidate Pepper, how do you respond?

I'd like to respond with a little story from my own life.

-[Man] All right. -[Man 2] Okay.

[bird tweeting]

When I was a young boy, a family of wild ducks

was swimming along a stream by my house.

When the smallest and weakest of the ducks was left behind,

I knew I was faced with a terrible choice:

leave that little duckling in the stream

or take it home and face my mother's wrath.

[head banging]

So I took that duckling and put it under my arm

and took it home.

Put it under my bed and I nurtured that little duck

and I feel him foods from my favorite dinners.

And then one day I left the window open

and that duck flew into some power lines.

[crickets chirping]

Let's go to audience questions.

Who'd like to go first, anyone?

I have a question for Mayor Bloch.

[Announcer] Go ahead.

Mayor Bloch, I live in an RV park

and I'd like to know this one thing:

how do you live with yourself?

[clears throat] I beg your pardon?

I'm a recent divorcee and a single mom,

and my fraud of an ex won't pay his dues.

This park sheltered me when I most needed it.

I know I'm meant to be ashamed of it

but I am actually very proud to live here.

[Crowd] Yeah!

So I ask, again: how do you live with yourself?

[crowd applauds]

[Bloch] [clearing throat] Let me just address that.

[Aiden] Mayor Bloch.

-Mayor Bloch. -I.

How do you live with yourself?

This park has given me everything.

When I'm outside of these grounds, I'm just another nobody.

But when I'm here, surrounded by people that I love

and people that love me,

I actually matter.

-[Man] Yeah! -[crowd applauds]

-I appreciate that-- -Mayor Bloch!

I'm here on behalf of the red-throated scrub turkey

and all our native flora and fauna.

Woo woo!

And you ain't takin' our land!

-[Man] Yeah, yeah! -[crowd cheering]

[vigorous applauding]

[Bloch] If there are any concerns--

Please, some decorum, please, just.

Let me just--

Mayor Bloch, I'll field this one.

[Man] Don't drain the swamp!

Like these wonderful people, I too live in an RV park.

And yes, I may be three times divorced, and I may have

a few too many cold ones after a hard day's work.

But I found acceptance here.

I found my equals.

And a Kissimmee without that, a Kissimmee full of snobs,

country clubs and luxury condominiums

is not one I would ever want to live in.

Thank you.

-[wild guitar riff] -[audience cheering]

Oh my, that was wonderful!

[Crowd] Just add Pepper! Just add Pepper!

Just add Pepper! Just add Pepper!

Just add Pepper! Just add Pepper!

Just add Pepper! Just add Pepper!

Just add Pepper! Just add Pepper!

Just add Pepper!

Mal, a word?

I spoke to my team and they seem to feel

that this here Pepper fella

is gonna screw up my majority tomorrow.

So, I've decided to pull back on my redevelopment promises.

Well.

That's interesting.

I take it that will, uh, clear the field?

I'll see what I can do.

[hands clasping]

What?

Herman's agreed the park can stay.

But the people love me.

I'm the "Law & Order" candidate.

Marvin, do you have any idea

how much work is involved in being mayor?

Think of all the phone calls you'd have to make,

the amount of people you'd have to meet,

and imagine, you'd even have to turn up to work on time.

I mean, think about it, would you rather

take on a new and very, very stressful job

or continue living the high life here in my park, huh?

I tell you what, I'd even let you pay your rent a week late.

Let me have "Skivvy Sunday" and you've got a deal.

Candidate Pepper, it's been a pleasure.

-[door slamming] -[laughing]

[singing] I got "Skivvy Sunday", I got "Skivvy Sunday".

-[water rushing] -[seagull screeches]

[laughing]

[light pensive music]

What happened?

Well, I tried to get there on time

but I had a math test and there was an ambulance.

I almost went to hospital but I just out the back.

It's a long story.

Big day.

I know the recording was important to you, I'm sorry.

Yeah, you should be.

Wyatt made me game with Mute Mike.

[laughing]

I don't want you to think that me bailing today

was because of the other night.

I didn't think that.

Why not?

[laughing] Because that would make you a jerk

and you are mostly not one.

Oh.

Right.

-Well, I'm sorry. -Oh, stop apologizing, okay?

I don't care about that.

I just wanted you to stop blanking me

because you're my best friend here.

You're my only friend here.

Wow.

Loser.

[sentimental music]

Thank you good people of Kissimmee.

You ready?

Maybe I should check for typos again.

-Oh, for. [keyboard tapping] -[gasping]

And you've applied!

Hey! [kissing]

Tina, can't believe you'll be going so soon.

Yeah, you've only just got shut with Maureen.

Can I go now?

Going to meet you know who?

[Maureen] Can I give him the tour?

[Mal] No, no, wait 'til he really needs punishing.

I am proud to announce new conservation measures

for these most endangered and unique animals,

the red-throated scrub turkey.

Tina, I think your turkey's on TV.

-What? -Oh.

The dogged campaigning of a student at Kissimmee High

generated county-wide interest in the plot of this, um,

spirited creature.

To celebrate my reelection, I am redistributing

a portion of our budget to obtain land

to establish a wildlife reserve for this noble creature.

-Oh my god! -You did it!

Yale's gonna love that, eh?

-[cheering] -That's great!

The planned reserve will take this land right here.

Certain local businesses will be affected.

Isn't that where the RV park is?

Mal.

No, no, no, no.

[heavy punk rock music]

It's a new day here in Kissimmee.

A brand new day.

Thank y'all and may God bless America.

Herman you two-faced son of a--
