No? Well...

why don't we just see

what our little man

is bringing to the fourth grade

Thanksgiving feast, huh?

If he can make a sandwich,

I think you can every once in a while.

- No, I can't.

- I'm sorry.

- What'd you make, Jack?

- Oh!

Hey, boy.

On this episode of "Clare Poe:

Turkey Proctologist Extraordinaire,"

we... ooh, "Rectum?

Damn near killed 'em!"

Huh? Huh?

Jack! Emily!

I'll get 'em.

Come on, guys,

it's time to eat.

Your mom's been working

on this turkey all day.

Some apples?

Looks really good,

doesn't it?

Dear Lord...

Thank you.

Thank you for providing us

this most bountiful feast.

Most importantly, we thank you

for providing us with each other,

with love,

for this Thanksgiving

we owe to You,

our most trusted

and holy God.

Thank you for my wife,

my beautiful wife,

thank you for my children

and thank you for this life,

which is indeed blessed.

So let us pray.

Dear blessed Lord,

we thank you for the gifts that you...

What was that?

That was your children

being disrespectful.

Well, we're not gonna eat

this turkey until they pray.

- Okay.

- All right.

Dear blessed Lord, thank you for the

gifts that you have provided for us...

What are you guys doing?

- Let's just eat, okay?

- I'm serious.

We are not gonna eat

until you pray.

David, come on.

Dear blessed Lord,

please give us Your...

...that you have provided for us...

What are you guys doing?

Hi, I'm Boy Scout leader

David Poe

and you're gonna learn

about an ancient art today

called lock picking.

You won't find it in the manual,

but you will

find it here. Come on.

All right? Bobby pin?

Got it. Okay now, Jack,

first thing you wanna do:

Open up said bobby pin,

peel off the little rubber bit...

put it into the lock like so.

All right, make three circles

counterclockwise

until you feel it...

- Go like that.

There you go.

And lock picked.

Slide it to the left.

Okay, this is

the one-handed bowline.

It's a very important knot,

maybe the most essential knot.

It's un-get-out-of-able,

un-undoable

unless of course you wanna undo it

and you have two hands.

I'm gonna show you how

to do it with one hand. Ready?

Go like this...

go around the tree.

And that right there

is a bowline, all right?

I want you to do one.

Give me one second.

Emily, you watching?

Look at that. There he is.

There's old Nikolai.

Perfect.

Dad's,

Jack's.

Perfect!

Did you see that?

Emily, you're next.

Are you ready?

I scream, you scream.

We all scream for... ow!

A little help.

I thought you were

going jogging.

I did. I was.

For about three miles.

So I'm out there

in the middle of the woods

and I took a left where I usually...
