Scenes with Dan 205

[at the end, Dan is at a room with a doctor at the hospital]

DDoctor

Okay, let's get those pants off.

Dan

Um, I'm here about my face being all scratched.

DDoctor

[chuckles] Oh, don't worry. I'm not a doctor.

Dan

[goes on a walk with comic books on his hand] Grab bags, what a scam. They lure you in with something you like. Hmm. Something with an uplifting message. What is this? Nothing but a hockey almanac, "The Maple Pals," "Sgt. Saskatchewan"! This is the worst comic book ever. No dark side, no inner rage. He doesn't even have any enemies, and politeness is not a superpower. So many maple leaves.

MMan

Can I talk to you for a minute, sir?

Dan

It's "may I," and no.

MMan

We need your help to save the Canadian geese.

Dan

I don't even like American geese. One time, a goose bit me and stole my sandwich.

MMan

I'm sure that's not true.

Dan

Don't you impugn me, you goose smoocher. I say it bit me! like this! Ohh! Ooh! And this. [the man leaves and falls on syrup] Ugh. Sticky. Maple syrup? [picks up the maple syrup jar] Who's responsible for this? CANADA!

[Dan is at home and makes a phone call to Chris while he's at the park with Elise]

Hello.

Dan

I'M COVERED IN SYRUP!

Who is this?

Dan

Get over here right now. We're going to war with Canada. [falls to the floor sticky as a split screen closes]

What's going on with Dan? Did he say something about syrup?

Yes. He's covered in it. Now he wants revenge on Canada.

Oh, that Dan.

Always covered in something.

So do we have a plan?

Dan

Of course. We go to Canada and make them pay for what they did to me.

That's not really a plan so much as a goal.

Dan

Fine. You want a plan? Here you go. Step 1, we go to Canada. Step 2, we make them pay for what they did to me!

Now it's a checklist.

Dan

Would you focus? Here's what I know about Canada. England and France had a baby out of wedlock, and that baby was Canada. Now, as for Canadians. [tells a story of a bear drinking a bottle] First, they drink maple syrup directly out of the bottle. Second, most Canadians are at least half bear.

I don't think they're actually half bear, Dan.

Dan

What do you know about it?

A little bit, actually.

Dan

Okay, Prime Minister. You tell me.

Canadians thrive in cold climates. They live in the shadow of a massive glacier, blissfully unaware of the horrific fate that would befall them should the glacier ever collapse.

Dan

Good. That's good. Maybe we can use that.

What else? You could put a Canadian in a lineup with a bunch of normal people, and you wouldn't be able to tell. You have to wait until they drop "eh" or an "aboot" or- This is a good one. They say, "Sory."

Dan

You're right. Normal people never apologize.

No, it's not that. They say, "Sory," to rhyme with "story." We say, "Sorry."

Dan

What does that rhyme with?

Mata Hari?

Dan

Wait. How do you know so much about Canadians, anyway?

Nothing. I just, you know- no reason.

Dan

What are you hiding from me?

I'm 1/16 Canadian.

Dan

And you never told me?

It's not my fault. My great-great-grandfather came from Ottawa.

Dan

Are you trying to sabotage my mission?

No! I'm as disgusted by Canada as the next person, honest.

Dan

Prove it.

I can't prove it. You're going to have to trust me.

Dan

And if I don't?

Then you can get to Canada on your own.

Dan

I don't even know where Canada is.

It's north. You can't miss it.

Dan

Figures you'd know that. I suppose if you're you're still if you're 1/16th Canadian, you're still 10/16ths normal person.

You're being ridiculous, and your math doesn't even add up. I mean, what do you think the other 5/16 are?

Dan

Goo.

[Dan and Chris arrive at Quebec as they read the stop sign]

Wait a minute.

Dan

Look. They spelled stop wrong. Canadians.

It's French. I think we're in Quebec.

Dan

What? I hate Quebec. I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! [hits the stop sign] I hate it! Whoa. What's this? Hmm. I'm beginning to like their style.

[Dan and Chris were thrown out by the French organization]

Dan

Would you get up? We're on a mission.

You landed on my kidneys.

Dan

You, you, you. What about me? What about my kidneys? Stay focused. We need to find that map.

All right. Where to now?

Dan

The Geological Society of Canada.

Where's that?

Dan

No idea.

Is there such a thing?

Dan

No idea.

[Dan and Chris are at a hospital after getting hurt by the security guards]

Dan

Don't you find it weird that the bristles hurt more than the stick?

At least they were nice enough to drop us off at the hospital after they beat us. Canadians are polite. Violent, but polite.

Dan

We should get out of here before they bring us a bill for millions of dollars.

They have socialized medicine up here, Dan. They're not gonna charge us.

Dan

Oh! I can't believe what I'm hearing. Don't take their side.

Sorry.

Dan

Did you just say, "Sory"?

Huh? No. No. You're hearing things.

Dan

You did. You said, "Sory."

I did not.

Dan

I've had my doubts about you from the beginning. You've been sabotaging me this whole time, you big, dumb caribou!

I've been helping you, you ungrateful hoser.

Dan

Hoser? I knew it. You are half bear. And I don't need you. Get out.

Fine.

Dan

Fine.

Good luck getting home.

Dan

Good luck being stupid.

Well, good luck. You're stupid. [he opens the door while he and Dan give themselves serious looks, then Dan finds a map while he hears an announcement] You're holding it upside down.

Dan

I know that! [turns the map normal]

Wait a minute. What's this?

Dan

[yelling] I don't know! I can't read maps! [crumbles the map]

I've got it. What? You want to destroy Canada, follow me.

Dan

I'm taking this stethoscope.

[at the end, Dan and Chris end up getting sick after they came home from Canada during an avalanche]

[checks Chris' temp] Oh, 102.

Dan

[on the phone, sick] Chris, get over here. Make me some soup.

Who's that? [hangs up]

Telemarketer. I'm going to get you some more tea.

Dan

[after Chris hung up on him] Chicken noodle. Maybe some beef broth. Hello?

[when the parking lot had a massive explosion]

Real nice, Dan. You almost killed us. Way to go.

Dan

Almost only counts in horseshoes and- [another explosion is heard]

Dan

[finds Hal] Helicopter Hal, we meet at last. Nice jacket.

HHHelicopter Hal

I don't sign autographs, thanks.

Dan

Oh, I'm no fan. [punches Hal]

HHHelicopter Hal

Why?

Dan

That's for making me pee!

HHHelicopter Hal

What?

Dan

You love traffic!

HHHelicopter Hal

Well, it is my bread and butter!

Dan

[punches him again] That's 'cause I can't digest butter!

HHHelicopter Hal

Well, how is that my fault? You can't just punch a celebrity!

Dan

I didn't! Now get in there and fly this thing.

[the helicopter flies off]

[Dan, Elise, and Chris are at the Dinner theatre watching a particularly bad performance of Romeo and Juliet]

Dan

Oh, this is terrible, come on! [everyone tells him to be quiet] Why are they shushing me? It's those Apple Johns onstage who are butchering the material.

MMan

[walks up to Dan] Please be quiet. You're disturbing the other patrons. [spills the soup on Dan's lap] Oops.

Dan

OW! You scalded me, you jackanape!

MMan

Sir, I've already asked you to keep it down.

TMTheater Main Actor

What clodpole disturbs the traffic of our stage?

NANervous Actor

[walks up to Dan] Alright, sir, it is time for you to make haste.

Dan

You don't tell me what to make. Unhand me! [gets thrown out of the dinner theatre] Throw me out? I'll throw you out, stupid hacks, misinterpreting the material. [the police officer walks up to him] It's the Bard, for crying out loud. No respect.

PPolice Officer

Sir, there's no loitering here.

Dan

I'm not loitering. I was thrown out of the theater for having taste, and now I'm waiting for my friends. Well, my friend and his wife.

PPolice Officer

Sure, you are. Listen, sir, although I'm concerned with the plight of the homeless--

Dan

[yelling] I'M NOT HOMELESS!

PPolice Officer

[gives Dan a ticket] Then here's your ticket for loitering.

Dan

Loitering?

PPolice Officer

Move along, sir. Don't make me arrest you.

Dan

It's never-ending with this place. Got the cops on the take. [walks off]

[Dan is at home and makes a phone call to Chris while he is with Elise at Ninja Dave's Cookies]

Hello.

Dan

We have to make them pay. They bruised my face with frozen produce. They are going down. Come over right now.

Nope. I'm on a date.

Dan

With Elise?

Yes, Dan.

Dan

You'd rather spend time with some girl than help me get revenge? When are you going to grow up? [hangs up]

Dan

Baseball is a contemptible sport.

It's not contemptible.

Dan

It needs to pay. It ruined my TV time, and it broke the side mirror on my car.

How exactly?

Dan

It preempted my stories.

I meant the mirror thing.

Dan

Don't get bogged down with minutiae. Drive me to Washington. I am going to yell at the president of baseball.

He's called a commissioner.

Dan

Oh, commissioner. La-dee-da. I'll have him reimburse me for my mirror and promise never to preempt my show again.

How do you plan to do that?

Dan

Step 1, you drive me to Washington. Step 2, shut up.

Okay, I'll go.

Dan

I don't want to hear your excuses, you miserable— wait, did you say "okay?"

Yeah, do you think we could try and get into the World Series? I mean, the last game's being played there in 3 days.

Dan

Wait. You like baseball?

I really do. Plus I'm on my own this weekend. Elise is--

Dan

Irrelevant. We go to see the Commissioner. If he won't meet my demands, then you have to break his legs, okay?

Uh, no.

Dan

Fine. 1 leg. Come and pick me up.

Dan

[after seeing the photos on TV] Oh, look at that! Those pictures don't even look like us!

Actually, Dan, it's probably a really good thing if the police sketches don't look like us. Don't be so sensitive.

[the Salvation Armed Forces truck comes to pick up the chair from the house]

SASalvation Armed Forces Guy

Sir! Thank you for your generous donation, sir. [opens the back of the truck]

No problem.

SASalvation Armed Forces Guy

This old thing was just sitting around.

Dan

[inside the chair] Ow!

Shhh! -hould I, uh, help you move it? It's deceptively heavy. And misanthropic.

SASalvation Armed Forces Guy

That would be great. [he and Chris lift the chair and put it in the truck] What was that sir?

Nothing. Enjoy the Dan. Chair. The chair's name... is "Dan". Goodbye chair.

[the Salvation Armed Forces Guy closes the truck]
