How about you buy

a round of beer?

That'd make me happy.

How about that?

Colt. Colt!

- What are you doing?

- Stay out of this, Katie.

- You need my help, bro?

- No, man, I think I got it.

Hey!

Hey, where do you think

you're going?

What are you doing, Colt?

Stay out of this, Katie.

It's got nothing to do with you.

Listen, man, I told you

to keep your mouth shut.

I got fired today 'cause of you.

- You did something bad.

- What?

What exactly did I do to you?

Nothing!

I did absolutely nothing to you.

I came to give

Mr. Campbell a melon.

This melon?

You came to give

Mr. Campbell this melon?

Yes.

Don't break Mr. Campbell's melon!

Colt!

Leave him alone, Colt!

Can't you see he's different?!

All right, man, you know what?

Take your melon.

Come on, guys,

let's get out of here.

Produce.

What are you doing here?

Where's Katie?

She left.

I brought you a melon.

I see that.

Um... that was

nice of you.

Does your mama know

where you are?

You don't like my melon?

Aw...

That's not it at all, Produce.

- Thank you for the melon.

- You're welcome.

So... why are you

all dirty?

Did you fall off your bike?

- Yes.

- Are you hurt?

- No.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Well...

um...

do you want a ride home?

- You smell funny.

- Yeah, it's...

that's what the French

call eau de Bourbon.

Not funny?

Okay.

Well, I'm gonna go, to sleep

'cause it's real, real late

and, um, I'll see ya

tomorrow or whenever.

- Good-bye.

- Hey, Produce?

Hey.

Thank you for my melon.

You're welcome.

And away he goes.

He... Produ...

Produce, you forgot your...

hey...

Hey, Katie bear?

Which,

which tie do you think I should wear?

This one or this one?

- Neither.

- No?

No, you're not much

of a tie guy.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Why are you so dressed up?

I got that meeting tonight.

The owners of the Bats,

you remember?

- Yeah, that's right.

- Yeah.

- That's awesome, Dad.

- Thanks.

So just call me after and we

can grab dinner to celebrate.

Yeah, okay.

- I'd like that.

- Me, too.

- Well, all right, then, it's a date.

- Okay.

All right.

Mr. Campbell!

You should tell your

mentally challenged friend

not to come around here anymore.

Produce?

Why?

Colt says he's a troublemaker.

He's not a troublemaker.

Colt on the other hand...

Can you open the door for him, please?

Dad, Colt is gonna

be here any minute.

Yeah, I don't care about Colt.

Okay, well, just make it quick.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Is that for me?

- Yes, it is.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

I got them from

the flowers department

and they've got

plants there, too.

I'm gonna go put them in water.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Yeah, he's a real troublemaker.
