[Two kindergarten kids want to give Harold a poster of him as he is walking with Joey]
They wanted to give you this. [Hands Harold and Joey a poster]
It's a picture of you!
That's me, huh? [Looks at the sketch of him] Well, I hope not! Look at the size of my head!
I'm surprised you can stand up! [They laugh together. Harold notices a bridge]
And what is that?
The Golden Gate Bridge.
Really? What's keeping it up? Magic? Because I don't see any suspension cables! Joey, you got a pen? [To the kids] What's the matter with you? [Takes a Sharpie and draws a few suspension cables onto the kids' drawing of the Golden Gate Bridge] NOW it's a bridge.
It's basic physics.
They're only six years old.
They're not gonna learn any younger. That's what my Uncle Ronnie always says.
[Notices an unusual looking black object in the upper left corner] What's this? A bird? My God, it must be 20 feet long!
Yeah! It looks like Mothra! Remember that old movie? [Harold and Joey scream and snarl like the birds in the movie in question. The kids recoil, terrified]
[Nervously] You're on the school board?
Yeah. [Joey's cell phone rings]
Hello?
Mr. Krenshaw?
' That's right.
This is Dr. Levine calling from Reno. You wanted me to call if there was a change in your uncle's condition. I'm afraid it doesn't look good. You might want to think about coming home to say goodbye.
How long does he have?
Five days, maybe a week. I'm sorry, sir.
Thank you, doctor. [He walks back over to Harold, who in this time has written all sorts of comments over the kids' poster] All right, kids, you've got your notes. Why don't you go back to school and try again? [Hands the poster over to them]
That was nice. Who was that? (on the phone)
Cousin, that was money calling, endorsement money. You ever heard of Neptune Energy Bars?
No.
Well, they've heard of you. They want to pay you $10,000 to be in their next commercial.
Really?
Yeah, they're on a tight schedule. They need to shoot tomorrow morning. You think you're up for it?
