1
00:00:01,521 --> 00:00:04,290
You know, if I wasn't me,
I would hate me.
2
00:00:05,825 --> 00:00:08,627
Well, I'm not you
and I can see your point.
3
00:00:10,730 --> 00:00:16,235
Oh, man! Who's stinking up
my refrigerator
with this octopus?
4
00:00:16,302 --> 00:00:18,938
That's monique.
She's my date for
the hockey game.
5
00:00:20,974 --> 00:00:25,845
Explain to me again why
red wing fans throw
octopi on the ice.
6
00:00:25,913 --> 00:00:29,881
Because sushi is way
too expensive, honey.
7
00:00:29,949 --> 00:00:32,084
All right, guys,
I'll be home by midnight.
What car should I take?
8
00:00:32,152 --> 00:00:34,553
Uh, better take the nomad.
I'm gonna use the mustang
for the hockey game.
9
00:00:34,620 --> 00:00:37,356
No, you can't take the nomad.
I'm going to the movies
with patty.
10
00:00:37,423 --> 00:00:39,591
What about the healey?
Is it running?
11
00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:41,660
(laughing)
12
00:00:41,728 --> 00:00:43,629
Guys,
what am I supposed to use
for transportation?
13
00:00:43,696 --> 00:00:45,031
Use your bike.
14
00:00:46,733 --> 00:00:48,568
Dad, I'm going on a date.
15
00:00:48,635 --> 00:00:49,969
You ride up to her house,
you ring the bell
a couple of times,
16
00:00:50,036 --> 00:00:51,537
Chicks dig that stuff.
17
00:00:53,072 --> 00:00:54,507
Guys, this is ridiculous.
18
00:00:54,574 --> 00:00:56,442
I mean, we have three cars
and I still don't have
anything to drive.
19
00:00:56,510 --> 00:00:58,177
I mean,
when am I going to get
my own car?
20
00:00:58,245 --> 00:00:59,979
We're not gonna
just give you a car, brad.
21
00:01:00,046 --> 00:01:01,414
Well, dad, that's why
I've been working so hard.
22
00:01:01,481 --> 00:01:03,015
I mean,
I've saved over $2,000.
23
00:01:03,082 --> 00:01:05,284
And on my last report card
I got all a's and b's.
24
00:01:05,352 --> 00:01:06,686
You saved $2,000?
25
00:01:06,753 --> 00:01:09,154
Hold on.
You got all a's and b's?
26
00:01:11,324 --> 00:01:12,858
Yes.
Really?
27
00:01:12,926 --> 00:01:16,061
I'm proud of you, man.
I'm telling you,
that's good work.
28
00:01:16,129 --> 00:01:17,996
But I think this is...
29
00:01:18,064 --> 00:01:20,499
The last thing your mom
wants around here
right now is another car.
30
00:01:20,567 --> 00:01:23,135
Actually,
I was just thinking that
he's worked very hard
31
00:01:23,203 --> 00:01:25,470
And deserves his own car.
32
00:01:25,538 --> 00:01:27,172
Really?
Really?
33
00:01:28,541 --> 00:01:29,941
Well, sure.
I mean, he's saved
a lot of money
34
00:01:30,009 --> 00:01:31,277
And we could match that,
couldn't we?
35
00:01:31,344 --> 00:01:32,611
Sure we could match that.
Brad: Yeah!
36
00:01:32,679 --> 00:01:34,179
And on top of that, I'll spend
every waking moment
37
00:01:34,247 --> 00:01:36,081
Getting you
the best car possible.
38
00:01:36,216 --> 00:01:37,449
Cool. Thanks.
Yeah!
39
00:01:37,518 --> 00:01:39,585
You know what I'm
thinking of doing?
What?
40
00:01:39,653 --> 00:01:41,521
I'll get an old mercury.
I'll chop it. I'll make
a custom out of it.
41
00:01:41,588 --> 00:01:43,322
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
An old camaro!
42
00:01:43,390 --> 00:01:45,123
Update it, put a vette
rear end in it. I got it!
43
00:01:45,191 --> 00:01:46,458
Dad...
No. Wait a minute. Stop. Stop.
44
00:01:46,526 --> 00:01:47,659
I'll go with it...
Dad.
45
00:01:47,794 --> 00:01:48,894
Maybe I'll get
an off-the-road thing.
Dad!
46
00:01:48,961 --> 00:01:49,961
Hold on! Let me...
Dad!
47
00:01:50,029 --> 00:01:51,930
What?
This is my car.
48
00:01:51,998 --> 00:01:52,998
Yes!
Yes.
49
00:01:53,066 --> 00:01:54,800
Your car.
50
00:01:54,868 --> 00:01:57,502
Well, I guess I'm gonna call
samantha and see if
she can drive. Thanks, guys.
51
00:01:57,570 --> 00:01:59,871
That's a great idea, matching
the funds for his car.
That's wonderful.
52
00:01:59,939 --> 00:02:02,174
Well,
I did it 'cause I want him
to have a really cool car,
53
00:02:02,242 --> 00:02:04,843
And money is no object
when it comes
to my oldest son
54
00:02:04,911 --> 00:02:07,679
Getting a really
bitching set of wheels.
55
00:02:09,583 --> 00:02:11,117
The money's coming out
of my car budget, isn't it?
56
00:02:11,184 --> 00:02:12,485
Oh, yeah.
57
00:03:02,102 --> 00:03:04,269
Welcome back to tool time
and our salute...
58
00:03:04,337 --> 00:03:06,938
Announcer: Come on down.
Everything must go.
Se habla espanol.
59
00:03:07,607 --> 00:03:09,341
...To used cars.
60
00:03:10,743 --> 00:03:12,077
For those of you
who just joined us,
61
00:03:12,145 --> 00:03:14,179
My son brad
is in the audience
right there.
62
00:03:14,247 --> 00:03:15,448
He's buying his first car.
63
00:03:15,515 --> 00:03:17,850
Hopefully,
this '88 mustang gt
right here.
64
00:03:17,918 --> 00:03:19,318
But before he buys it,
we're gonna help him out
65
00:03:19,385 --> 00:03:22,154
By giving the car
a complete
mechanical inspection.
66
00:03:22,221 --> 00:03:24,122
And assuming that checks out,
67
00:03:24,190 --> 00:03:27,092
Then we're gonna show you,
right here on the air,
how to negotiate a fair deal.
68
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,761
That's right.
We've already
test-driven it
69
00:03:28,829 --> 00:03:31,764
And inspected the frame
and suspension,
including the brakes.
70
00:03:31,832 --> 00:03:34,467
And I've checked the oil,
the fan belt
and the master cylinder.
71
00:03:34,534 --> 00:03:36,602
Everything checks out a-okay.
72
00:03:36,670 --> 00:03:38,971
And now we're under the hood
completing
a compression test.
73
00:03:39,038 --> 00:03:40,640
Compression test
is a great way to find out
74
00:03:40,707 --> 00:03:43,141
If your rings are
in good shape or if you've
had a crack in the block.
75
00:03:43,209 --> 00:03:47,146
Now, my gauge should read
between 120 and 130 pounds.
76
00:03:47,214 --> 00:03:50,615
The last time
your gauge read that,
you were six years old.
77
00:03:51,184 --> 00:03:53,219
(whirring)
78
00:03:53,286 --> 00:03:55,755
Okay, perfect. 130 pounds.
79
00:03:55,822 --> 00:03:59,959
That's just perfect. Now,
it's time to start dealing.
Right, brad? All right.
80
00:04:00,026 --> 00:04:01,760
Let's meet
the owner of this beauty.
81
00:04:01,828 --> 00:04:04,830
Let's have a warm
tool time welcome
for mr. Michael mccready.
82
00:04:14,340 --> 00:04:17,409
Well, mike, you did something
to your hair, huh?
83
00:04:17,477 --> 00:04:19,311
I'm thelma, michael's mother.
84
00:04:19,379 --> 00:04:21,380
I'm the actual
owner of the car.
85
00:04:21,447 --> 00:04:23,883
Mikey was just helping me out
showing it to you.
86
00:04:23,950 --> 00:04:27,086
Oh, here. I brought you kids
some homemade jelly donuts.
87
00:04:27,154 --> 00:04:28,154
Well, thank you.
88
00:04:28,221 --> 00:04:30,122
This is the oldest
trick in the book.
89
00:04:30,190 --> 00:04:33,558
Send an old lady to
soften up the buyer
with fresh donuts.
90
00:04:33,626 --> 00:04:36,428
I'm on to you, granny.
91
00:04:36,495 --> 00:04:40,265
I'm sorry, mrs. Mccready.
I apologize for
tim's behavior.
92
00:04:40,333 --> 00:04:43,035
That's okay.
I've seen tool time.
93
00:04:43,103 --> 00:04:46,038
I know that sometimes
he can be a real schmo.
94
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,573
Have a donut, al.
95
00:04:48,641 --> 00:04:51,143
Oh, no. I couldn't.
Not while I'm working.
96
00:04:51,210 --> 00:04:52,911
Oh, I made them with
my special
boysenberry filling.
97
00:04:52,979 --> 00:04:55,113
(sighs)
really?
98
00:04:55,181 --> 00:04:57,215
Well, maybe just one.
99
00:04:57,351 --> 00:04:58,684
Lesson number one.
100
00:04:58,751 --> 00:05:00,553
You want to make sure
that the seller is honest
and trustworthy.
101
00:05:00,620 --> 00:05:02,788
Which begs the question,
why would a woman
who voted for,
102
00:05:02,855 --> 00:05:05,057
I'm guessing, calvin coolidge
103
00:05:06,159 --> 00:05:08,860
Be selling a v-8 mustang?
104
00:05:08,928 --> 00:05:11,230
Well, actually,
it was my late husband's car.
105
00:05:11,298 --> 00:05:14,800
Oh, the old
late-husband routine,
you know.
106
00:05:14,867 --> 00:05:17,836
What we're going to hear now
is you only drive it
to church on Sunday?
107
00:05:17,904 --> 00:05:20,306
Oh, no.
We took the trans am.
108
00:05:22,909 --> 00:05:25,978
And now it's time for
the all-important negotiation.
109
00:05:26,045 --> 00:05:28,714
That's right.
Now, all used cars
have a blue book value.
110
00:05:28,781 --> 00:05:30,382
Low book is what a dealer
might pay for it.
111
00:05:30,450 --> 00:05:32,318
High book is what
he'd sell it for.
112
00:05:32,385 --> 00:05:35,521
Thelma's asking price
came right in
the middle, $4,000.
113
00:05:35,655 --> 00:05:38,290
All right.
I'll give you
$2,500 for it.
114
00:05:38,358 --> 00:05:41,993
$2,500?
After all the work
we put in this car?
115
00:05:42,062 --> 00:05:44,997
You take another
look under the hood.
It's as clean as a whistle.
116
00:05:45,065 --> 00:05:47,766
Well, tim, it does look
pretty clean to me.
117
00:05:47,834 --> 00:05:48,834
(sizzling)
118
00:05:53,540 --> 00:05:56,542
Well, it was until
you slobbered jelly
all over it.
119
00:05:56,610 --> 00:05:58,610
Geez, I'm sorry!
120
00:05:58,678 --> 00:06:03,048
Oh, now it's all dirty.
You'll have to knock off
a little. How about $2,450?
121
00:06:03,116 --> 00:06:04,382
Do we have a deal?
122
00:06:04,450 --> 00:06:05,851
No, we do not.
123
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:08,620
And I'm insulted by
your offer and your
disrespectful attitude.
124
00:06:08,688 --> 00:06:10,423
I'm not gonna
sell you this car.
125
00:06:10,490 --> 00:06:13,625
All right, $2,750
and I'll give you
a ride home.
126
00:06:14,394 --> 00:06:15,827
No deal, tool man.
127
00:06:15,895 --> 00:06:17,829
I'm taking my wheels
and leaving.
128
00:06:17,897 --> 00:06:21,266
All right.
All right. All right. $3,000.
And that's my final offer.
129
00:06:21,334 --> 00:06:24,036
And here's
my final offer.
Bite me!
130
00:06:26,706 --> 00:06:28,640
Dad, you're blowing the deal.
131
00:06:28,708 --> 00:06:32,911
All right.
I'm willing to go to $3,500.
$3,500, that's fair.
132
00:06:32,978 --> 00:06:36,015
Forget it!
Put the spark plug back
in and give me my key.
133
00:06:36,082 --> 00:06:39,084
Please, mrs. Mccready.
I really want that car.
134
00:06:38,819 --> 00:06:41,720
Oh, you seem like
a nice boy.
135
00:06:41,788 --> 00:06:44,189
You must take after
your mom.
136
00:06:46,593 --> 00:06:49,361
All right. I'll let
you have it for $2,500.
137
00:06:49,428 --> 00:06:52,364
All right!
See? $2,500 it is.
138
00:06:52,431 --> 00:06:53,799
Plus the cost of the donuts.
139
00:06:53,867 --> 00:06:55,200
Okay. What could they cost?
140
00:06:55,267 --> 00:06:56,635
$2,000.
141
00:06:59,539 --> 00:07:01,272
Hey, dad.
Hey, brad.
142
00:07:01,340 --> 00:07:04,009
I got all the pictures of me
and the mustang.
143
00:07:04,076 --> 00:07:05,143
Let me take a look at them.
144
00:07:05,211 --> 00:07:06,478
All right.
145
00:07:07,914 --> 00:07:09,581
Oh, here we are
at the gas station.
146
00:07:09,649 --> 00:07:11,550
Yeah.
147
00:07:11,618 --> 00:07:14,119
Here I am giving it
its first oil change.
148
00:07:14,187 --> 00:07:15,787
Nice.
149
00:07:15,855 --> 00:07:19,191
Oh, here I am putting on
five coats of wax.
150
00:07:19,259 --> 00:07:20,859
Carnauba?
Oh, yeah.
151
00:07:20,927 --> 00:07:22,027
(grunts)
152
00:07:22,095 --> 00:07:24,463
Oh, here we are
just being silly.
153
00:07:26,566 --> 00:07:28,033
Hey, that's
the one with me.
154
00:07:28,101 --> 00:07:29,301
Yeah.
155
00:07:29,369 --> 00:07:30,436
Too bad you didn't
get a reprint for me.
156
00:07:30,503 --> 00:07:32,804
Oh, dad, I am
way ahead of you, man.
157
00:07:32,872 --> 00:07:34,506
All right!
158
00:07:37,877 --> 00:07:39,411
How's the stew coming?
159
00:07:39,479 --> 00:07:41,680
I don't know.
I've never done this before.
160
00:07:41,748 --> 00:07:45,651
Oh, well, honey, it's your
first time, you know?
And that's always kind of...
161
00:07:48,722 --> 00:07:51,757
This is incredible.
What did you do?
162
00:07:51,825 --> 00:07:53,792
Well, you know,
I followed the recipe
163
00:07:53,860 --> 00:07:55,994
And made sure
you didn't touch it.
164
00:07:57,129 --> 00:07:59,298
Good going.
165
00:07:59,365 --> 00:08:01,599
Hey, tim!
Dinner's ready!
166
00:08:01,667 --> 00:08:03,068
Nah.
I'm not really that hungry.
167
00:08:03,136 --> 00:08:04,803
I didn't cook it.
168
00:08:04,871 --> 00:08:06,371
I am famished.
169
00:08:08,407 --> 00:08:09,842
Where's bradley?
170
00:08:09,909 --> 00:08:11,509
Same place he's been
for the last three weeks,
171
00:08:11,577 --> 00:08:13,011
Attached at the hip
to the mustang.
172
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:14,847
(grunting)
yeah, that's my boy.
173
00:08:16,216 --> 00:08:17,615
Well, my car got stolen.
174
00:08:17,683 --> 00:08:19,151
What?
175
00:08:19,219 --> 00:08:20,586
Yeah, right in front
of the high school.
176
00:08:20,653 --> 00:08:23,288
You know,
I always had a bad feeling
about that place.
177
00:08:23,356 --> 00:08:25,324
I can't believe it.
178
00:08:25,391 --> 00:08:26,558
Did you call the police?
179
00:08:26,626 --> 00:08:27,659
Yeah,
I called the police.
180
00:08:27,726 --> 00:08:30,628
Then I had to ride home
on that stupid yellow bus.
181
00:08:32,065 --> 00:08:33,498
Well, what did they say?
182
00:08:33,566 --> 00:08:36,301
"hey,
what's the cool guy
doing on the bus?"
183
00:08:39,505 --> 00:08:40,839
The police.
184
00:08:42,174 --> 00:08:45,611
Oh, they said
they hope I have a good
insurance policy.
185
00:08:45,678 --> 00:08:47,312
Well, I know the guys down
at the precinct.
186
00:08:47,380 --> 00:08:48,880
I'll give them a call and
make sure they're doing it
the right way.
187
00:08:48,948 --> 00:08:50,515
Oh, honey,
I'm so sorry.
188
00:08:50,583 --> 00:08:52,184
Yeah, I know.
I loved that car
more than anything.
189
00:08:52,251 --> 00:08:53,652
Well, maybe they'll find it.
190
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,120
Or if they don't,
you know, we got insurance.
191
00:08:55,188 --> 00:08:56,555
We can get you
another car.
192
00:08:56,622 --> 00:08:59,158
I know, mom. But I don't want
another one. I want my car.
193
00:08:59,225 --> 00:09:01,994
Well, look,
your dad's gonna do
everything he can do.
194
00:09:02,061 --> 00:09:04,062
Hello, officer.
Yeah. This is tim taylor.
195
00:09:04,130 --> 00:09:06,732
Well, apparently,
my son's car just got stolen
at the high school.
196
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:08,667
And I'm giving away
free tool time tickets
197
00:09:08,735 --> 00:09:11,436
To the first group
of guys that find it.
198
00:09:12,972 --> 00:09:13,972
(laughs sarcastically)
199
00:09:16,876 --> 00:09:19,878
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
200
00:09:19,945 --> 00:09:23,348
You know,
I fail to see the humor
in what I just said.
201
00:09:25,418 --> 00:09:27,886
Brad, come on.
You got to try
some of mark's stew.
202
00:09:27,953 --> 00:09:30,255
We usually
don't eat this well.
203
00:09:32,224 --> 00:09:34,293
I know, dad.
I just can't believe
my car is gone, you know?
204
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,161
I keep thinking
I'm gonna step out
that front door
205
00:09:36,228 --> 00:09:37,663
And she's gonna be there
waiting for me.
206
00:09:37,730 --> 00:09:39,731
It'll get back to you.
207
00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:41,266
Some kids probably
just took it for a joy ride.
Come on, sit down.
208
00:09:41,334 --> 00:09:43,168
I know. But, dad,
we put so much work
into that car.
209
00:09:43,235 --> 00:09:45,103
I mean, what?
Didn't we test-drive,
like, 15 cars
210
00:09:45,171 --> 00:09:47,205
Before we decided
which one was best for me?
211
00:09:47,273 --> 00:09:51,710
Well, 16 if you count
the ferrari we drove
just for the fun of it.
212
00:09:51,778 --> 00:09:53,912
So, dad, have you ever had
a car stolen before?
213
00:09:53,979 --> 00:09:57,115
No. But I've experienced
every car disaster
known to man.
214
00:09:57,183 --> 00:10:00,652
Floods, fires,
jockstrap caught
in the fan belt.
215
00:10:03,222 --> 00:10:05,957
It was a fraternity thing,
you know?
216
00:10:06,025 --> 00:10:07,959
(phone ringing)
217
00:10:09,762 --> 00:10:12,397
Yo. Yeah, it's tim taylor.
218
00:10:12,465 --> 00:10:13,898
They found it.
Yeah, leave it where it is.
219
00:10:13,966 --> 00:10:14,966
We'll come down
and pick it up.
220
00:10:15,034 --> 00:10:17,068
Don't take it
to impound, all right?
221
00:10:17,136 --> 00:10:21,306
456 franklin between adams
and walton. I got it.
222
00:10:21,374 --> 00:10:22,441
Okay, we'll be right there.
223
00:10:24,009 --> 00:10:26,044
It's completely stripped.
224
00:10:26,111 --> 00:10:29,781
Oh, man!
I can't believe
my car is gone.
225
00:10:29,849 --> 00:10:32,917
Officer, what's your
plan of attack now?
226
00:10:32,985 --> 00:10:35,854
Well,
I'll call the tow truck,
they'll haul it to impound,
227
00:10:35,921 --> 00:10:38,524
Then I'll take a break.
228
00:10:38,591 --> 00:10:42,727
Well, that ought to
put the fear of god
in those thugs.
229
00:10:42,795 --> 00:10:44,796
You're saying there's nothing
we can do?
230
00:10:44,864 --> 00:10:48,033
I'm sorry, mrs. Taylor.
But you have to catch these
guys red-handed.
231
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:50,835
You see, the vehicle parts
don't necessarily correspond
232
00:10:50,903 --> 00:10:52,571
With any individual cars.
233
00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:54,005
So, even if they find yours,
234
00:10:54,073 --> 00:10:56,808
You can't prove
they were stolen
from your vehicle.
235
00:10:56,876 --> 00:10:58,443
Thanks, anyway.
236
00:10:58,511 --> 00:11:01,213
I'll fill out the report,
and we'll get back
to you if we find anything.
237
00:11:01,281 --> 00:11:02,648
Sorry, kid.
238
00:11:04,450 --> 00:11:06,451
So, my car's gone forever.
239
00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:08,920
Oh, honey.
Look, let's just go home
and get some sleep,
240
00:11:08,988 --> 00:11:11,956
And tomorrow we can go out
and look for another car.
241
00:11:12,024 --> 00:11:15,460
You know, I can't believe
this. I mean, there's nothing
they can do about this?
242
00:11:15,528 --> 00:11:17,862
I'm with brad.
Somebody's got to be held
accountable for this.
243
00:11:17,930 --> 00:11:19,931
You heard the officer.
There's nothing they can do.
244
00:11:19,999 --> 00:11:21,699
Well, maybe there's nothing
they can do.
245
00:11:21,767 --> 00:11:23,535
There's something I can do.
246
00:11:23,602 --> 00:11:25,970
I'm the guy that delivered
a baby after being crowned
"car guy of the year."
247
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,440
The same night!
I'm the guy that
built a lawnmower
248
00:11:28,508 --> 00:11:30,208
That can do 12 seconds
in the quarter mile.
249
00:11:30,276 --> 00:11:33,345
I'm the guy that
put a barbecue grill
into geosynchronous orbit.
250
00:11:33,413 --> 00:11:35,613
So, don't you tell me
there's nothing we can do.
251
00:11:35,681 --> 00:11:38,250
I'm the tool man!
I can fix anything!
252
00:11:44,257 --> 00:11:47,225
Okay. Fine.
Then zip up your
fly and let's go.
253
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:57,969
Tim: No, listen, officer,
I got this tip from
a friend of mine named eddie.
254
00:11:58,037 --> 00:12:00,072
He owns eddie's body shop.
255
00:12:00,139 --> 00:12:03,108
He says it's
a place called a-1 salvage
that's selling stolen parts.
256
00:12:03,176 --> 00:12:05,810
So,
I figured you guys got to go
down there and check it out.
257
00:12:05,878 --> 00:12:09,981
What do you mean, you need
a warrant? This is america.
258
00:12:10,049 --> 00:12:12,684
Okay. All right.
Thank you.
259
00:12:14,019 --> 00:12:15,687
What was all that about?
260
00:12:15,754 --> 00:12:18,623
I got a lead on
an auto shop that might be
selling stolen ford parts.
261
00:12:18,691 --> 00:12:19,958
The police won't go down
to check it out,
262
00:12:20,025 --> 00:12:22,127
So I thought maybe I should.
263
00:12:22,195 --> 00:12:24,196
Are you insane?
264
00:12:24,264 --> 00:12:26,464
Those guys could be
dangerous criminals.
265
00:12:26,532 --> 00:12:29,735
Hello. Souffle
in the oven.
266
00:12:29,802 --> 00:12:32,070
Well, this might
have something to do
with brad's stolen car.
267
00:12:32,137 --> 00:12:33,671
You're not gonna
accomplish anything
by running around,
268
00:12:33,739 --> 00:12:35,473
Acting like
a vigilante lunatic.
269
00:12:35,541 --> 00:12:37,075
People, please.
270
00:12:38,711 --> 00:12:40,378
You're right, though.
271
00:12:40,446 --> 00:12:42,680
Just like the cop said,
even if I could go down
and find the parts,
272
00:12:42,749 --> 00:12:44,415
There's no way I could prove
they came from brad's car.
273
00:12:44,483 --> 00:12:46,584
Okay. Now you're
making some sense.
274
00:12:46,652 --> 00:12:49,654
What I need to do
is take a couple months off
of work, grow a beard,
275
00:12:49,722 --> 00:12:52,791
Get a job on the inside
and become one of them.
276
00:12:54,293 --> 00:12:57,095
Hey, wilson.
What are you doing?
277
00:12:57,163 --> 00:13:00,498
Well, I'm getting ready
to give my honey to a friend.
278
00:13:02,602 --> 00:13:06,004
She sounds like
a very understanding woman.
279
00:13:06,072 --> 00:13:07,539
No, no, no, no, no, tim.
280
00:13:07,606 --> 00:13:10,542
See,
I'm bottling honey to take
to a crespian festival.
281
00:13:10,609 --> 00:13:12,810
Did you realize
that in crespia
they pay homage to honey
282
00:13:12,878 --> 00:13:14,812
Because to them
it's symbolic of gold?
283
00:13:14,848 --> 00:13:16,447
How do they
celebrate that in detroit?
284
00:13:16,515 --> 00:13:18,850
Well, we have a little honey,
285
00:13:18,918 --> 00:13:20,952
And then we get
all liquored up
and put on funny hats.
286
00:13:21,020 --> 00:13:22,688
Do you want to come?
287
00:13:23,623 --> 00:13:26,057
I'm not in that
funny of a mood.
288
00:13:26,125 --> 00:13:28,493
So,
I take it you're still upset
about brad's car.
289
00:13:28,761 --> 00:13:32,030
You're darn right I am.
And I even got a tip of
who might have stolen it.
290
00:13:32,097 --> 00:13:33,799
But the police
aren't interested
291
00:13:33,866 --> 00:13:34,599
Because they don't
have any evidence,
you know?
292
00:13:34,667 --> 00:13:35,834
I feel so helpless.
293
00:13:35,901 --> 00:13:37,736
Mmm-hmm.
Mmm-hmm.
294
00:13:37,804 --> 00:13:40,105
You know,
I was robbed once
when I was 12.
295
00:13:40,173 --> 00:13:42,240
I was riding my
brother's unicycle.
296
00:13:42,308 --> 00:13:44,609
Did they steal
one of your tires?
297
00:13:46,512 --> 00:13:49,915
No, no. This big bully came,
pushed me off and took it.
298
00:13:49,982 --> 00:13:51,649
What did you do?
I didn't do anything.
299
00:13:51,718 --> 00:13:53,919
It was that hooligan
terry zavacas.
300
00:13:53,986 --> 00:13:56,321
Sold it.
I didn't have any evidence.
301
00:13:56,388 --> 00:13:57,455
So you never caught him?
302
00:13:57,523 --> 00:13:58,456
Her.
303
00:14:00,626 --> 00:14:03,094
It was one of the most
humiliating experiences
of my life.
304
00:14:03,162 --> 00:14:04,796
I mean, just talking
about it right now is
305
00:14:04,864 --> 00:14:07,032
Just bringing up
all these ugly memories.
306
00:14:07,099 --> 00:14:09,534
God, I hated
terry zavacas and...
307
00:14:09,601 --> 00:14:10,635
Wilson! Wilson!
...That sleazy band of...
308
00:14:10,703 --> 00:14:13,205
Hey, calm down, buddy.
309
00:14:13,272 --> 00:14:17,509
Just think about
all the fun you'll have
at that lesbian festival.
310
00:14:18,578 --> 00:14:20,345
It's a crespian festival.
311
00:14:20,413 --> 00:14:22,280
And you're right.
I do have to
collect myself.
312
00:14:22,348 --> 00:14:26,484
I must call my good friend
guillermo and remind him
to bring the donuts.
313
00:14:26,552 --> 00:14:27,986
Donuts! Donuts!
314
00:14:28,053 --> 00:14:29,388
That's the answer
to my question.
315
00:14:29,455 --> 00:14:31,189
What?
Yeah. Mrs. Mccready,
316
00:14:31,257 --> 00:14:34,593
The boysenberry filling,
the manifold,
al slobbering all over it.
317
00:14:34,661 --> 00:14:37,128
It's totally clear right now.
Thanks, wilson!
318
00:14:37,196 --> 00:14:40,699
I think somebody's
been doing a little
celebrating on their own.
319
00:14:44,404 --> 00:14:45,437
What are you doing?
320
00:14:45,505 --> 00:14:46,538
Nothing.
321
00:14:49,375 --> 00:14:51,743
Tim, you look like
juan valdez.
322
00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:54,279
(speaks spanish)
323
00:14:56,582 --> 00:14:58,983
Al and I are going down to
this chop shop, a-1 salvage,
324
00:14:59,051 --> 00:15:02,454
To look for stolen parts
and I don't want anyone
to recognize me.
325
00:15:02,522 --> 00:15:04,055
I assume this has something
to do with brad's car.
326
00:15:04,123 --> 00:15:05,256
Yes.
327
00:15:05,324 --> 00:15:07,191
We're looking for evidence
to give the cops.
328
00:15:07,259 --> 00:15:08,860
Tim, it sounds
a little dangerous.
329
00:15:08,927 --> 00:15:10,462
Are you sure you
should be doing this?
330
00:15:10,529 --> 00:15:12,563
We just got to
be careful, clever
and discreet.
331
00:15:12,631 --> 00:15:15,500
Wait till you see this. Al.
Look at the spy cam.
332
00:15:15,567 --> 00:15:16,634
Heidi: Oh.
333
00:15:19,405 --> 00:15:22,340
You don't think anyone
might notice that?
334
00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:27,578
Al: I don't think
these costumes are gonna work.
335
00:15:32,618 --> 00:15:34,519
Tim: I disagree.
I think they look great.
336
00:15:34,587 --> 00:15:36,721
Uh, I don't know.
337
00:15:40,493 --> 00:15:42,994
It's just I have
a very bad feeling
about this.
338
00:15:43,061 --> 00:15:45,196
Why did I ever agree
to come down here?
339
00:15:45,264 --> 00:15:46,998
Because you're the one
that ate the donut.
340
00:15:47,065 --> 00:15:49,000
You're the only one
that can identify
the boysenberry jelly
341
00:15:49,067 --> 00:15:50,067
That fell on the manifold.
342
00:15:50,135 --> 00:15:51,670
I am not a crime stopper.
343
00:15:51,737 --> 00:15:53,237
What if they frisk me?
344
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,609
These guys are criminals,
not masochists.
345
00:15:58,277 --> 00:16:00,378
Turn the camera on.
346
00:16:01,714 --> 00:16:05,183
All right. Friday.
347
00:16:05,251 --> 00:16:09,187
5:15. Tim taylor
and al borland go in
looking for stolen parts.
348
00:16:10,589 --> 00:16:13,291
Mother,
if something happens to me,
349
00:16:13,359 --> 00:16:15,894
You can have all
my john tesh albums.
350
00:16:18,131 --> 00:16:19,364
What can I do for you?
351
00:16:19,432 --> 00:16:21,333
We're looking
for some car parts.
352
00:16:21,401 --> 00:16:24,302
That's right. A part.
That's all we're looking for,
just a part. Just a part.
353
00:16:25,571 --> 00:16:27,104
What are you looking for?
354
00:16:27,172 --> 00:16:30,041
Maybe a manifold off
an '88 ford mustang.
355
00:16:30,109 --> 00:16:33,011
Manifolds are over there.
I think we got an '88 mustang
in there somewhere.
356
00:16:33,078 --> 00:16:34,745
Great.
Thank you!
357
00:16:41,420 --> 00:16:42,487
Can I help you?
358
00:16:42,555 --> 00:16:44,122
Uh, no, no.
We're just browsing.
359
00:16:44,189 --> 00:16:48,326
Well, if you need anything,
my name is george.
360
00:16:48,394 --> 00:16:53,064
Oh, my god, tim!
That's the guy
we met in prison.
361
00:16:53,132 --> 00:16:56,568
I know it! You know,
when we were
scalping tickets?
362
00:16:56,635 --> 00:16:59,004
He'll never recognize us
with these getups on.
363
00:16:59,071 --> 00:17:02,240
Hey, wait a minute.
Were you guys
ever in county jail?
364
00:17:03,442 --> 00:17:05,143
I think we showered together.
365
00:17:05,210 --> 00:17:09,213
I don't think so. You must
have me mistaken with
some other gentleman.
366
00:17:11,350 --> 00:17:15,287
Mustang manifold,
something purple and sticky.
Lick it.
367
00:17:19,125 --> 00:17:20,625
What?
368
00:17:20,693 --> 00:17:23,695
Well, you got to make sure
it's the right one. Lick it.
369
00:17:24,163 --> 00:17:25,296
Man!
370
00:17:28,367 --> 00:17:30,835
Why is he
licking the manifold?
371
00:17:30,903 --> 00:17:34,338
It doesn't make him
a bad person.
372
00:17:34,406 --> 00:17:38,176
That's boysenberry,
all right. I think
we have our evidence.
373
00:17:38,243 --> 00:17:41,479
You can stop
licking it now.
374
00:17:41,547 --> 00:17:47,552
All right.
I think that we found
what we were looking for.
375
00:17:48,721 --> 00:17:50,388
All right.
What do we owe you for that?
376
00:17:50,389 --> 00:17:51,922
Hundred bucks and it's yours.
377
00:17:51,990 --> 00:17:54,726
And I'm sure
you'll probably
want it in cash.
378
00:17:59,832 --> 00:18:01,633
Just pay the man, bobby.
379
00:18:01,701 --> 00:18:04,636
All right. I'll pay.
I'll pay them, all right.
And so will they.
380
00:18:04,704 --> 00:18:07,305
Hey, what is that?
Some kind of video recorder?
381
00:18:07,373 --> 00:18:09,807
No. That's his
artificial heart.
382
00:18:11,310 --> 00:18:14,446
He keeps an artificial heart
in his fanny pack?
383
00:18:14,513 --> 00:18:16,681
Hmos.
What are you gonna do?
384
00:18:19,818 --> 00:18:21,887
Hey, wait a minute.
I know you.
385
00:18:21,954 --> 00:18:24,388
No, you don't.
Yeah. You're the tool man.
386
00:18:24,456 --> 00:18:26,624
The guy who has
all those accidents.
387
00:18:26,692 --> 00:18:28,426
Well, you're about to have
an even bigger accident.
388
00:18:28,493 --> 00:18:29,527
Give me that video camera!
389
00:18:29,594 --> 00:18:30,862
No! Never! Never!
Tim, take it!
390
00:18:30,930 --> 00:18:32,063
Run! Run, tim!
391
00:18:32,131 --> 00:18:33,665
What's going on here?
392
00:18:33,733 --> 00:18:36,134
We got a call from someone
named heidi that
there's a problem.
393
00:18:36,201 --> 00:18:37,335
Oh, no.
There's no problem here.
394
00:18:37,403 --> 00:18:39,270
Thank god,
you guys are here.
395
00:18:39,338 --> 00:18:43,141
These are hardened criminals.
I know because
I met george in prison.
396
00:18:46,645 --> 00:18:49,547
We have evidence
that these gentlemen are
selling stolen car parts.
397
00:18:49,615 --> 00:18:50,949
Oh, they don't have squat.
398
00:18:51,016 --> 00:18:55,086
I got more than squat.
I got boysenberry jelly
on a manifold.
399
00:18:55,153 --> 00:18:56,788
You got
a manifold with jelly?
400
00:18:56,856 --> 00:18:59,757
That's right.
I ought to know.
I licked it.
401
00:19:01,694 --> 00:19:05,931
This manifold was stolen off
my son's car and I've got
a videotape to prove it.
402
00:19:05,998 --> 00:19:07,899
Here you go, officers.
403
00:19:07,967 --> 00:19:10,267
What do you think now, punks?
404
00:19:10,335 --> 00:19:13,137
I can't believe
I let you borrow my soap.
405
00:19:20,746 --> 00:19:23,547
Reporter: In local news,
a chop shop is busted
406
00:19:23,616 --> 00:19:26,351
Thanks to two
local tv personalities.
407
00:19:26,418 --> 00:19:28,853
Their evidence?
A jelly donut.
408
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,523
Tim taylor and
al borland used
this segment from tool time
409
00:19:32,591 --> 00:19:37,528
And a hidden camera
to identify a stolen car.
410
00:19:37,596 --> 00:19:39,897
A hundred bucks
and it's yours.
411
00:19:41,433 --> 00:19:42,867
Thanks to the jelly tape,
412
00:19:42,934 --> 00:19:45,803
Police uncovered a whole cache
of stolen property.
413
00:19:45,871 --> 00:19:49,073
For channel 8 news,
this is tiffany gutierrez.
414
00:19:51,911 --> 00:19:53,244
You know,
that just goes to show you,
415
00:19:53,311 --> 00:19:55,379
You don't have to sit idly by
and become a victim.
416
00:19:55,447 --> 00:19:56,848
You can act on
your principles.
417
00:19:56,916 --> 00:19:59,050
I still think it
was stupid for you
to go down there.
418
00:19:59,117 --> 00:20:00,852
In the future, I forbid
either one of you
419
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,087
To ever act on
your principles.
420
00:20:03,155 --> 00:20:06,724
Yeah, don't worry.
Our generation
doesn't have any principles.
421
00:20:06,792 --> 00:20:08,192
Good job, dad.
Thanks.
422
00:20:08,260 --> 00:20:09,593
Yeah.
Way to nail those punks.
423
00:20:09,661 --> 00:20:13,597
Now if you excuse me,
I've got a duckling to glaze.
424
00:20:13,666 --> 00:20:15,633
Yeah,
I think I'm gonna go check
the newspaper for a new car.
425
00:20:15,701 --> 00:20:17,835
Good. Uh,
I know you didn't want me
going down there,
426
00:20:17,903 --> 00:20:19,103
But I just couldn't
stand the thought of
427
00:20:19,171 --> 00:20:21,338
Letting those guys get away
with it, okay?
428
00:20:21,406 --> 00:20:24,275
Oh, I just... I hate that
our kids have to think about
this kind of stuff.
429
00:20:24,342 --> 00:20:26,744
I don't remember
worrying about it
when I was growing up.
430
00:20:26,812 --> 00:20:28,579
You grew up on
a military base.
431
00:20:28,681 --> 00:20:30,448
Someone steal a car,
they'd take a bazooka
and form the guy...
432
00:20:30,516 --> 00:20:31,916
Tim?
Well, you know. Right.
433
00:20:31,984 --> 00:20:33,518
Please.
434
00:20:33,585 --> 00:20:35,754
Now, you know what I mean?
It's just...
It's scary out there.
435
00:20:35,821 --> 00:20:37,789
Well,
it's a lot less scary now,
thanks to a crime buster
436
00:20:37,857 --> 00:20:40,058
And his partner, pop'n'fresh.
437
00:20:42,795 --> 00:20:45,463
Well,
I'll tell you one thing,
when brad gets his new car,
438
00:20:45,531 --> 00:20:47,799
He is going to have
some kind of security system,
439
00:20:47,867 --> 00:20:50,702
State-of-the-art,
no expense spared.
440
00:20:50,770 --> 00:20:52,203
Let me guess.
It's coming out
of my car budget?
441
00:20:52,271 --> 00:20:53,538
Oh, yeah.
442
00:20:56,641 --> 00:20:59,710
Well, we're just about
at the end of our segment
on car security.
443
00:20:59,779 --> 00:21:02,713
But before we go,
I'd like to show
you a super-secret,
444
00:21:02,782 --> 00:21:06,050
High-tech alarm system,
new from the boys
at binford r and d.
445
00:21:06,118 --> 00:21:07,718
See, my kid's car
was stolen recently.
446
00:21:07,787 --> 00:21:09,654
In order for that
not to happen again,
447
00:21:09,721 --> 00:21:11,622
We've installed that
on his brand-new car here.
448
00:21:11,690 --> 00:21:13,258
Al, try breaking in.
449
00:21:13,325 --> 00:21:15,927
Oh, no. I'm not falling
for one of your traps again.
450
00:21:15,994 --> 00:21:18,797
Oh, no?
Your paycheck's
in the glove box.
451
00:21:20,466 --> 00:21:21,700
Oh, man!
452
00:21:24,337 --> 00:21:26,137
Well, that wasn't so hard.
No?
453
00:21:26,205 --> 00:21:28,773
Once the perpetrator
enters the vehicle
without authorization,
454
00:21:28,841 --> 00:21:31,443
The car snaps into action,
locking the doors and
rolling up the windows.
455
00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:32,677
(alarm blaring)
456
00:21:32,745 --> 00:21:34,111
Tim!
457
00:21:35,548 --> 00:21:37,015
And, finally,
before the police arrive,
458
00:21:37,082 --> 00:21:40,718
You want to put your thief
under a little
bit of pressure.
459
00:21:40,786 --> 00:21:42,487
(yelling)
460
00:21:51,797 --> 00:21:54,032
I've checked the oil,
the fan belt
and the master cylinder.
461
00:21:54,099 --> 00:21:56,134
Everything checks out a-okay.
462
00:21:56,201 --> 00:21:59,871
And now we're under the hood
completing
a compression test.
463
00:22:03,375 --> 00:22:04,975
Way to nail those punks.
464
00:22:05,043 --> 00:22:08,779
Now if you excuse me,
I've got a duckling to glaze.
465
00:22:08,847 --> 00:22:10,381
(thud)
yeah, I think I... Wow!
466
00:22:10,449 --> 00:22:11,916
Get down!
467
00:22:15,721 --> 00:22:16,687
What was that?
What was that?
