00:34
[ Hayley ] 'Dear Mom and Dad
00:35
I realized I'm still in love with Jeff Fischer...
00:38
which is why we've decided to elope."
00:41
[ Stan ] I'm offering $50,000 to anyone who can stop the wedding.
00:46
Let's go get that reward money, people!
00:49
[ Cheering ]
00:55
[ Klaus Chuckles ] Ouch,
00:57
After a few twists and turns...
00:59
Jeff and Hayley outsmarted Stan and eloped anyways—
01:02
with Stan's 50K.
01:04
Well, you're all up to speed.
01:06
So just sit back, put down your G.E.D. paperwork, and enjoy the show, stupid.

My daughter.
01:37

Duper? I thought you died in the bus crash.
01:53
I did. But it turns out...

01:56
this new cloning thing, and here I am.
01:58
You're a— a clone?
02:01
Exactly the same in every way.
02:03
Except this guy was married to some ugly bitch.
02:07
[ Cell Phone Rings ] - [ Gasps ] Maybe it's Hayley!
02:09
Hayley? - No, it's Roger.
02:10
Roger, can I call you back? - You don't have to. I'm right next to you.
02:13
You didn't see me setting all this stuff up?
02:16
Now we're in the same scene.
02:17
Thanks, Don. I'm done with this.
02:21
Still broken up about Hayley, huh?
02:23
Well, don't you worry. I'm gonna find her.
02:25
And bring her back to us? - No, I'm gonna find her...
02:27
and steal that $50,000 she took from you.
02:30
And I promise you, I'm gonna spend it all on myself...
02:32
at Burt Longhorn's Western Wear Depot.

That's a promise.

Observation deck, please. - [ Bell Dings ]
02:49
Honey, what are you doing in here? I thought we agreed not to go in this room.
02:53
Oh, Stan, I just miss Hayley so much.
02:55
Thought I'd come in and tidy up.
02:58
Throw away her expired condoms.
03:01
They're un-lubed.
03:03
she's good to go. [ Sobs ]
03:05
Just like her mother.
03:07
[ Sighs ] We raised a junior college dropout...
03:10
who stole 50 grand from us and eloped with a stoner hippie.
03:13
Face it, slick. We failed as parents, even by Appalachian standards.
03:17
Hi. I'm back from school.
03:19
I'm gonna watch TV and try to forget about the wedgie I suffered at lunch today.
03:23
Ah, my butt hole.
03:26
No TV. You've got homework to do.
03:28
Oh, Stan, he's been in class all day.
03:30
Let him relax and unwind.
03:32
You're too lenient, Francine. That's probably why Hayley left us.
03:35
Excuse me? - Homework, now.
03:37
If Hayley left because of anybody, it was You.
03:41
You're too strict, and it drove her away.
03:43
TV, now!
03:45
Whatever. I gotta get a Popsicle in the old starfish.
03:48
[ Groaning ]
03:52
Listen to me. Children need structure and discipline.
03:55
No. Kids need space to make their own mistakes and learn from them.
03:59
Well, there's only one way to settle this.
04:01
First one across the finish line decides how we raise Steve.

Stand up straight. Wipe your glasses. Tuck in your shirt.
06:24
stan! You agreed Steve would be raised my way.
06:28
You're not allowed to be strict with him.
06:30
I'm not being strict with Steve. Steve's out there.
06:35
You won the race, so you can raise Steve however you like.
06:39
This is a clone I had made at the C.I.A., for me to raise how I like.
06:44
I'm calling him Steve-arino. - Hi, Mom.
06:46
[ Gasps ] - Pretty great, huh?
06:48
I also cloned world famous comedian John Leguizamo.
06:51
'Zamo, do an impression.
06:53
Okay. Uh, this is my cousin Keisha from the block.
06:56
[ High-pitched Voice ] Hey, I'm Keisha from the block!
06:58
I don't Know, John. I don't know anyone like that.
07:07
Stan, how could you clone Steve?
07:09
I was in a pickle. You won the right to raise Steve your way...
07:12
but my way is far superior.
07:14
So this was your solution?
07:16
What was I supposed to do, welsh on a B.M.X. race?
07:19
Get the B.M.X. people involved? The Council of Twelve? I'm not going before them again.
07:23
Wow. I have a clone?
07:25
We should buy matching capes and invent our own creepy language.
07:28
And do jazz tap routines.
07:32
They're identical, right down to their memories and emotions.
07:36
So from here on, how they turn out is totally based on their upbringing.

07:41
Sheb wawa, sheb wawa
07:43
[ Laughing ]
07:46
Stan, this is insane.
07:48
No, it's perfect. You can raise Steve your way...
07:50
and I'll raise Steve-arino my way.
07:52
We'll see which one turns out better...
07:54
and the other one we'll just put down.
07:56
What? - [ Laughing ] We'll figure it out.
07:57
What? - [ Laughing ] We'll figure it out.
07:59
Boys, come over here.
08:01
Steve-arino, I'll be parenting you exclusively from now on.
08:04
There will be a lot of rules, homework and exercise.
08:08
But trust me, in time...
08:10
I'll mold you into a buff, athletic model student.
08:13
Every boy will want to be you. Every girl will want to be inside you.
08:17
That sounds great!
08:18
I'll just make a slight adjustment so we can tell you boys apart.
08:22
What about me, Dad? - Steve, your mother will be raising you...
08:25
which unfortunately means...
08:27
that your life will suck worse than Nicolas Cage in Ghost Rider.
08:30
All right. That's it.
08:32
If you think you're so much better at parenting than me, we'll do your stupid plan.
08:37
May the best Steve win.
08:39
Wait. So I don't have to follow any of Dad's rules?
08:42
That's right, honey. - Yeah!
08:44
I'm gonna go have a Gardenburger.
08:46
Maybe it'll turn me gay, maybe it won't.
08:48
I guess we'll just let fate decide.
08:55
Beer for the newlyweds. Let's cut to the chase.
08:57
I'm here to steal your 50 grand. - What?
09:00
Hand it over, or I will set in motion the most brilliant...
09:03
elegant plan I've ever come up with.
09:05
No. It's our money, and we're making it last.
09:08
Yeah, we're gonna use it to start our new life:
09:10

You think I'm gonna give you the money to get you to stop making that noise?
09:28

Yes, I'm Myeeeah. Did you want to try paragliding?
09:38
[ Groans ] I stayed up until 3:00 playing Night Manager...

09:43
Huh. Sounds productive. We went hiking at dawn this morning.
09:47
There we are. Egg whites and soy toast for my little achiever.
09:51
What do I get for breakfast? - Anything you want, honey.
09:55
Uh, okay.

How about chocolate chip pancakes?
09:59
And... wine?

Put this on, Steve-arino. You start your first day of military school in an hour.
10:11
Military school? - You want those dividends, don't ya?
10:14
The muscles? The brains? Then you have to trust me.
10:17
Uh, I trust you, Dad. - Attaboy!

[ Steve ] Big deal.
11:39
Like, you're so great with your stupid trophy. I have a trophy too.
11:45
It's the Spanky Award.
11:48
That's right. He got it for pulling it 11 times in one day.
11:52
Thirteen, if you count ghost loads.
11:54
Father, may I watch television with Steve?
11:57
No can do, Son. You got an A-minus in biology.
12:00
If you get that grade up, I'll let you watch a full hour of Fox News...
12:03
or city council meetings on Channel 36.
12:05
Great! I'll go hit the books!
12:08
Face it, Francine. My parenting is superior.
12:11
In three months, I've turned Steve-arino into an exceptional young man.
12:15
Meanwhile, you've turned your Steve into—
12:20
Oh, look at that. He's starting a nose-mining company.
12:23
Steve will find his way.

Shut... up, Mom!

13:52
Me? I haven't been off this couch in two weeks.
13:55
It's my bedroom, my bathroom and my lover.
13:59
[ Sniffs ]
14:01
Well, where's Steve-arino? - Took off this morning. Left a note.
14:05
"Father, I can no longer tolerate your oppressive treatment.
14:08
I'm leaving and never coming back.
14:11
All the best, Steve-arino.
14:13
P.S. I will be dropping the 'arino' from my name...
14:15
as I am not a character from Welcome Back Kotter."
14:18
Ha! You drove him off, just like you drove Hayley off.
14:22
I'm the better parent.
14:24
Oh, my God. It's true.
14:27
i've failed as a father.

Hi, Dad.
15:28
Why are you dressed as Steve? - It's simple really.
15:31
I hated all your rules and wanted Steve's easy life.
15:34
So I faked running away and took his place.
15:36
Check this out. Getting fancy!

Great, Stan.

Will you stop doing that!

What did you do with Steve?
15:53
