Scenes with Peggy Hill 73

[The Hill family on the way to Bobby's baseball game]

So, are you ready to kick some Wildcat butt, Bobby?

Okay.

Peggy Hill

Nah, don't you worry, son. You just do your best.

Don't listen to her, Bobby. If you wanna win, you're gonna have to do better than your best.

How do I do that?

You gotta give a hundred and ten percent. That's what'll give you that winnin' edge.

But what if the Wildcats give a hundred and ten percent, too?

Well, then you gotta try even harder.

Peggy Hill

How about if Bobby gave a hundred and twelve percent?

Ahm ... sure, that'd work.

Or maybe a hundred and thirteen?

[Annoyed] Yeah, yeah, that's even better.

Peggy Hill

No, uh, I don't know. Thirteen is a very unlucky number.

Look, we're not talking about thirteen. We're talking about a hundred and thirteen, and even ... uh ... okay, give a hundred and twelve, what's the difference? Look, Bobby. Just do your best, okay?

Please, Mr. Hill? Loud is not allowed.

What the- "Loud is not allowed"? Now you listen to me, mister. (patriotic music starts to play as hank gets increasingly angrier) I work for a livin', and I mean real work, not writin' down gobbledegook! I provide the people of this community with propane and propane accessories. Oh, when I think of all my hard earned tax dollars goin' ta pay a bunch of little twig-boy bureaucrats like you, it just makes me wanna ... oh ... oh God ... it just ... (record scratch)

Peggy Hill

Hank?

Honey, bring me my BC headache powder and a glass of water.

Peggy Hill

Alright, Hank.

Now you listen here. You see that boy? (music resumes) That's my boy! And if you ever try to take him away, so help me God, I'll tear ya a new one bigger'n the Grand Canyon! Now I want you to get out of my house. You're not welcome here! I mean NOW, before I give YOU a black eye! GIT!

(Hank is lying on the bed) It's hard, Peggy. I don't wanna lose my little boy. My only son. But, oh, it's hard.

Peggy

Well, you can relax. The investigation has been off for a week, only Bobby didn't tell us.

[Yelling furiously] I'LL KILL HIM!!!!!

Peggy

Alright, calm down, honey. Now, let me explain. He didn't do it to be mean, Bobby honestly doesn't think you love him all the time.

That's crazy, 'Course I love him.

Peggy

Very good. Now, say it to Bobby.

What are you talkin' about?

Peggy

I want you to tell Bobby that your love for him is unconditional.

Well, I can't say that. I can't! You know how I was raised! What my father's like!

(shown in a flashback to Hank's youth) I got my shins blowed off by a Japanman's machine gun, so don't come cryin' to me with your problems!

Peggy

Honey, I'm begging you. For the sake of this family, you have got to do it. He's waiting for you out on the porch.

Ah, jeez. Twig-boy coming over here... (Hank goes outside and talks to Bobby) Uh, you, uh, you're my son, uh, well, you know with everything uh, that entails, uh...

Uh-huh.

Uh, huh, you know, uh, feelings of, uh, fondness, and more, uh, heh, uh, you know what I mean, don't you, boy?

No.

Uhh, well uh, (Hank makes a weird sound) Huh, that's a hell of a weird sound, I've never made that before. Uh, I, you, uh, family. You're not making this easy on me, boy. (sighs) Okay, I love you no matter what you do. There, phew, let's go get something to eat.

I'm not, just a big disappointment to you?

Disappointment? No, you make me proud. I've been disappointed by just about everything else in this town, but you? Not once. Dammit, you're my boy. Heh, you know better than that. (Bobby laughing)

He punched him! I, I knew it! I told them! Did-did you see that?

BPBus Passenger

See what, twig-boy?

(sighs) Never mind.

Peggy Hill

Now, Bobby, you may have noticed that there is a difference between a man and a woman.

Peggy

...a rather obvious difference.

You mean the penis?

Hank walks into the kitchen, Peggy is finishing up a phone call:

Hey there Peg-Leg!

Peggy

That was Bobby's principal. Some right-wing maniac just called the health teacher with a death threat and she quit.

Oh well. I'm sure it was just some harmless nutcase.

Hey, on the bright side, since there's no one to teach that sex-ed course, we can put all this ugliness back in the closet.

Peggy

Oh, no, Hank. They found someone. They found the Substitute Teacher of the Year.

Uh, 1995?

Peggy

[No, me, the winner of] 1996.

(Hank grimaces. Cut to commercial)

The phone is ringing at the Hill residence. Hank picks it up:

Hello?

TCThreatening caller

(hoarse voice) You don't know who I am, but I know where you live, and if you teach that sex-ed class, so help me, I-

Dale? Is that you?

(normal voice) Oh. Hank. Uh, can I speak with Peggy?

Uh, Peggy, it's for you. It's Dale.

Peggy

Y'ello, Dale.

(hoarse voice) You don't know where I am, but I know where you live...

Peggy is attempting to say the names of reproductive organs for a sexual education class.:

Peggy

Happiness. Happ-i-ness. Ha-penis. Penis. I did it! Ovaries. Uvula. Uterus. VAAAGINA!

[Hank does a spit-take with his beer.]:

Peggy

Hey Hank, I just said...

I heard ya! The whole neighborhood can hear you cussing!

Peggy

It's not cussing Hank, to say the name of a god-given body part.

Well it is if it's the part of a body that was meant to be concealed by an undergarment. You're dealing with organs that people just don't want to know about.

Peggy

Well, Bobby ought to know about 'em. We don't want him growing up as repressed as we did.

Sure we do. I'm drawing the line here, Peggy. My son is not gonna learn this crazy crap! It says right here that he can't take the class without permission from both his parents!

Peggy

Now, just hold on. Are you saying I'm not good enough to teach my own son?!

If you do not approve, you do not have to sign, and I do not approve. Permission denied!

Peggy

Now, Minh, the game of Boggle is really quite simple. The goal is to make words out of these 25 letter cubes. [shakes the tray and slams it on the table] Ho yeah!

[Peggy lifts the cover and the game begins]

Ba mee tom yum.

It's gotta be a real word, honey.

Minh Yes! Ba mee tom yum, Thai spicy noodle soup! Tasty and delicious.

You know, the Elks are having a Boggle tournament in order to raise bail money for their treasurer. Maybe you should enter.

Peggy

Me? Oh, fish, I just play for fun! Minh, you owe me $13.

[gives Peggy her money] Thank you for Boggle lesson, Peggy Hill! Maybe next week I teach you mahjong. Bring your checkbook!

Peggy

Hey, you wanna be my coach?

A Boggle coach? What would I do?

Peggy

Well, Hank, you don't have to do anything, you just have to be there. Unless you want me to go up to Dallas by myself.

Dallas? I don't want you going to Dallas at all! That place is crawling with crack heads and debutantes. And half of them play for the Cowboys.

Peggy

[crying] I am so stupid!

Aw, you're not stupid. Heck, you're smarter than me.

Peggy

Oh, big deal!

Well, you're smarter than anyone else in Arlen.

Peggy

Well, whoop-dee-do! I am the smartest hillbilly in Hillbillytown!

I-I'm trying Peggy. I just… hey, you know Coach used to say something that would fire us up when we were behind?

Peggy

Yeah? What?

[furiously]] LOSER! YOU'RE A LOSER! ARE YOU FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF?! WELL, YOU SHOULD BE CAUSE YOU ARE DIRT! YOU MAKE ME SICK, YOU BIG BABY! BABY WANT A BOTTLE?! A BIG DIRT BOTTLE?!

Peggy

[crying harder] WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?!

Uh, well, I'm trying to be your coach. I… It's… It's inspiring!

Peggy Hill

Well, thank you, cause I feel worse than ever!

Well, it worked for the team.

Peggy

No it didn't! You went to State and lost!

Ah, jeez! I think I need one of those $8 beers.
