HERE WE GO FOR ROADKILL,
HERE WE GO! Narrator:
WHEN IT COMES TO MONEY,
THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAVE... $2. Vickie: I DON'T THINK SO.
THAT'S TOO MUCH. ...THERE ARE THOSE
WHO ARE STINGY... Abdul: I'M GONNA GET
THIS CAKE FOR MY WIFE. WHAT IF YOU WERE
TO TAKE THAT FROSTING OFF? WHAT WOULD IT BE? JUST A BARE CAKE? ...AND THEN THERE ARE
CHEAPSKATES. WE DON'T HAVE A PHONE. I WALK OVER TO THE LIBRARY
WHEN I WANT TO CALL SOMEBODY. THEY SET
THEIR OWN GAS PRICES... Abdul: YOU CAN MAKE THAT
RIGHT THERE $3.43. Narrator:
...THEY REDESIGN ROADKILL... IT LOOKS PRETTY CUTE. ...AND THEY'RE NOT AFRAID
TO MAKE A SCENE TO SAVE A BUCK. $11.64, THEN. LET'S JUST TAKE
15 CENTS OFF, AND LET'S
JUST CALL IT $11.50. Narrator: WELCOME TO THE WORLD
OF "EXTREME CHEAPSKATES." MY NAME IS ABDUL,
AND I AM AN EXTREME CHEAPSKATE. I LOVE BEING CHEAP BECAUSE I LIKE THE ZEROS
IN MY BANK ACCOUNT. I BASICALLY RUN
A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS. I HAVE A MOBILE FOOD BUSINESS
WITH A HOT-DOG CART. THIS IS MY TRUSTY FRIEND HERE,
MR. WIENER. WHEN I PULL OUT MY WIENER,
THAT'S WHEN THE MAGIC HAPPENS. EVERYBODY WANTS
TO TAKE A PICTURE, EVERYONE'S GOING BANANAS
OVER THIS THING. SO IF I'M A LITTLE SLOW, I PULL MY WIENER OUT,
AND THERE IT GOES. Shauna: MY HUSBAND WOULD
HAGGLE ANYTHING, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING --
WHETHER IT'S A NECESSITY OR SOMETHING THAT I MAY WANT
OR HE JUST WANTS, HE HAGGLES ANYTHING. IF YOU CAN MAKE THAT RIGHT THERE
$3.43 IN THE TANK. OH, MAN, I DON'T KNOW
IF WE CAN DO THAT. I MEAN... $3.50. $3.50, OKAY.
WE GOT A DEAL. ALL RIGHT, MY MAN,
TAKE CARE. SO EMBARRASSING. Abdul: LET ME GET
TWO BIGGER BURGERS AND TWO CHOCOLATE SHAKES,
PLEASE. CASHIER: $11.64, hot and fresh
at the window, thank you. HI, THERE.
YOUR TOTAL IS $11.64. $11.64? CORRECT. LET'S JUST -- HOW ABOUT I JUST
GET RID OF THE $.64? LET'S JUST MAKE IT
$11 EVEN. DID YOU WANT TO TAKE OFF
A SHAKE OR A BURGER? NO, NO, NO.
LET'S KEEP EVERYTHING GOING. OKAY, WELL, UH, YEP,
IT WOULD BE $11.64, THEN. LET'S JUST TAKE
15 CENTS OFF, AND LET'S
JUST CALL IT $11.50. 15 CENTS? HOW ABOUT I THROW IN
SOME EXTRA KETCHUP AND SALT PACKETS
IN YOUR BAG? HOW ABOUT THAT? Shauna:
MY GOD. I AM NEVER TAKING YOU OUT
ANYWHERE EVER AGAIN. WHEN IT COMES TO HAGGLING, I WOULD SAY I HAVE
PROBABLY AN 85% SUCCESS RATE. [ BELL DINGS ] Shauna: WHEN ABDUL HAGGLES,
I THINK TO MYSELF, "THIS IS ONE MORE STORE THAT,
YET AGAIN, I CANNOT GO IN." YOU CAN'T
GO IN THOSE STORES AGAIN. RIGHT HERE. HOW MUCH IS IT? $25 IS A LOT FOR A BAG. LET ME JUST SEE
HOW MUCH WE HAVE SO FAR. $135. DON'T EMBARRASS ME. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. YOU READY TO BE RUNG UP? YEP, WE ARE. UM, EXCUSE ME. I JUST WANT
TO TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PRICES,
YOU KNOW? LET ME JUST
GO ONE BY ONE HERE. [ CLEARS THROAT ] DO WE HAVE ANY WIGGLE ROOM
WITH THIS JACKET HERE? YOU KNOW,
WE DO TRY TO PRICE OUR THINGS AT A REALLY GOOD PRICE, BUT WHAT I COULD DO IS
GIVE YOU $10 OFF. HOW ABOUT
ANOTHER $5 OFF OF EACH ITEM? UM, BECAUSE YOU ARE NEW,
I WILL DO 20% OFF. SO, THAT'S -- SO, WE'RE DOING
THE $10 OFF OF EACH ITEM -- NO. I'LL DO
A STRAIGHT 20%. THAT BRINGS IT DOWN
TO $327. SO, WE STARTED AT,
WHAT, $4-- $422. $422. $327. MM-HMM. OKAY. THANKS A LOT, KAT. [ BELL DINGS ] SO, IT'S NOT THAT
I DON'T HAVE MONEY. IT'S JUST THAT
I DON'T WANT TO SPEND IT ALL. IT'S MY 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY'S
COMING UP, AND I WANT TO DO
SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR MY WIFE, BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT
TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY, SO I GAVE MYSELF A BUDGET
OF $25. SO, I BRING
MY GOOD FRIEND RICK ALONG. HE WANTS TO PUT THIS ANNIVERSARY
TOGETHER FOR UNDER $25. I'M LIKE, "YOU'RE CRAZY. THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE
GONNA BE ABLE TO DO THIS." I KNOW WHAT STUFF COSTS.
IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN. I DON'T THINK
YOU CAN DO IT. I KNOW I CAN DO IT. $25. IT'S NOT GONNA BE
A VERY GOOD ONE. IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT PARTY
FOR $25. I GUARANTEE YOU
WE CAN PULL THIS OFF. RICK REALLY
HAS NEVER SHOPPED WITH ME, SO HE NEVER KNEW HOW I HAGGLE
OR KNEW THAT I HAGGLE AT ALL, SO I'M SURE RICK IS
GONNA BE SURPRISED TODAY. SO, ONE OF MY STOPS IS
THE PARTY STORE. I HAVE A STRATEGY
WHEN I GO IN A STORE. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GET SOME STUFF
THAT'S, LIKE, OUT OF SEASON, YOU PROBABLY GET
A BETTER DEAL. TO ME,
BALLOONS ARE BALLOONS. SO, THE GUY HAD
SOME DISCOUNTED BALLOONS. IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS. $10 TO $12. $10 TO $12? UH-HUH. [ SIGHS ] HMM. I-I CAN CHECK AND SEE IF
I'VE GOT ANY CLEARANCE BALLOONS. I'VE GOT
A COUPLE LAYING AROUND. I CAN SEE
IF I'VE GOT SOMETHING. CLEARANCE? OH, LOOKIT HERE.
"ANNIVERSARY SALE." HEY, THAT'S A GOOD ONE. YOU SURE YOUR WIFE'S
GONNA LIKE THAT, THOUGH? IT'S FINE. THEY'RE COLORFUL.
THEY DO THE JOB. THAT PRICE RIGHT THERE IS JUST
A LITTLE BIT TOO -- TOO -- TOO HIGH
FOR ME THERE. DO YOU HAVE
ANY OTHER OPTIONS THAT MAY NOT BE
AS COSTLY AS THAT ONE? Rick:
I'M JUST TOTALLY EMBARRASSED. WE'RE UP THERE AT THE COUNTER,
AND IT'S -- THIS BALLOON IS $2.99, AND HE KEEPS
HAGGLING THIS GUY DOWN. AND YOU FILL IT UP WITH HELIUM,
RIGHT? IS THAT WHAT YOU DO? UH-HUH, YEAH. WHAT IF WE DID, LIKE,
3/4 OF HELIUM? WELL, THEN IT'S
PROBABLY NOT GONNA FLOAT. UM... SO, AIR IS CHEAPER
THAN HELIUM. AIR IS CHEAPER
THAN HELIUM. OKAY, NOW, IF WE DID
ALL AIR IN THE BALLOONS, WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? YOU'D PROBABLY KNOCK
A COUPLE DOLLARS OFF, MAYBE MAKE IT $7 OR $8. YOU DO SOMETHING
A LITTLE SIMPLER. YEAH. SOMETHING WITH AIR. ISN'T OXYGEN FREE? WE BREATHE OXYGEN EVERY DAY, BUT I HAVE TO PAY THIS GUY
FOR HIS OXYGEN? NO. I'LL USE MY OWN OXYGEN. I'M GONNA TAKE THESE FLAT,
LIKE THIS. DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE
DISCONTINUED, OR IS THIS...? I HAD ONE MORE, BUT IT'S JUST A POLICE CAR,
IT LOOKS LIKE. OH, NOW, THAT'S COOL.
[ LAUGHS ] IT DOESN'T SAY
"ANNIVERSARY." YOU DON'T WANT NO POLICE CAR
ON THERE, DO YOU? IT'S ALL ABOUT LAUGHTER,
MAN. I'M SURE THIS RIGHT HERE
WILL STRIKE A FEW LAUGHS. LET'S THROW THAT IN THERE. $3.75,
WE GOT A DEAL ON THAT. I CAN'T DO THAT. I JUST GAVE YOU
A HECK OF A DEAL ON THOSE. $2.25,
WE GOT A DEAL, GARY. COME ON, GARY. HOW ABOUT $2.50? GARY, IF YOU GO $2.50,
WE CAN GO $2.25. WE CAN GO $2.70
IF WE CAN GO $2.50. [ LAUGHS ] $2.45.
LET'S MEET IN THE MIDDLE. $2.45.
LET'S DO $2.45. WE SEE ALL KINDS OF CUSTOMERS
COME INTO THE DOOR, BUT I CAN'T SAY
AS I'VE EVER SEEN ANYBODY THAT'S BEEN
THAT CHEAP. SO, I WALK INTO THIS STORE
VERY CONFIDENT, THINKING I'M GONNA GET
THIS CAKE FOR MY WIFE. I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY HOW I'M GONNA DO IT. I NEED A CAKE MADE TODAY. HAVING AN ANNIVERSARY PARTY
FOR MY WIFE -- ABOUT SIX PEOPLE. OKAY. WE HAVE OUR 10-INCH ROUND.
IT SERVES BETWEEN 10 AND 15. AND THAT'S $29.99. WELL, I'M KIND OF
ON A BUDGET HERE, YOU KNOW? AND I'M NOT TRYING TO INSULT
YOUR BUSINESS OR ANYTHING, BUT IS THERE ANYTHING I COULD
DO TO PROBABLY MAKE THAT A LITTLE BIT LESS
THAN AT $29.99? WHAT IF YOU WERE
TO TAKE THAT FROSTING OFF? WHAT WOULD THE CAKE --
WHAT WOULD IT BE? JUST A BARE CAKE? THE FROSTING IS
ALL INCLUDED IN THAT PRICE, SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE
BUYING A CAR WITHOUT THE WHEELS. YEAH. WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS
CUT THIS COST A LOT MORE. WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO SPEND? [ SIGH ] $25. $25. OKAY. UM, LET'S SEE.
WE DO HAVE -- BUT THAT'S
FOR THE WHOLE PARTY. THE WHOLE PARTY? Narrator: COMING UP... OOH! ALL THESE BALLOONS. THIS IS
A LOT OF LOVE RIGHT HERE. HOPEFULLY, SHAUNA'S HAPPY. All: SURPRISE! Abdul: MY 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY'S
COMING UP, AND I WANT TO DO
SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR MY WIFE. WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS
CUT THIS COST A LOT MORE. WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO SPEND? [ SIGHS ] $25. $25. OKAY. UM, LET'S SEE.
WE DO HAVE -- BUT THAT'S
FOR THE WHOLE PARTY. THE WHOLE PARTY? LIKE, LET'S SAY --
AND I KNOW THIS IS STRANGE -- WHAT IF I WERE TO BRING
SOME OF MY OWN INGREDIENTS? THERE'S HEALTH CODE AND THAT.
YOU CAN'T. WE HAVE
TO PURCHASE EVERYTHING. SO, I'M THROWING ALL KINDS
OF OPTIONS AT THIS LADY, AND JUST NOTHING'S WORKING. SOMEHOW, WE NEED
TO MAKE THIS CAKE $7. OKAY. UM... I DON'T KNOW
THAT WE CAN DO THAT. IT'S A 10-INCH ROUND CAKE.
CAN WE MAKE IT 7 INCHES? WE -- THAT'S REALLY A SIZE
WE DON'T DO. OKAY, SO,
HOW ABOUT THIS? AT THE END OF THE DAY,
I'M SURE YOU GUYS DON'T USE ALL YOUR MATERIALS WITH
YOUR FLOUR AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND I'M NOT PICKY,
SO WHAT IF YOU USE SOME OF THE LEFTOVER INGREDIENTS
AND PUT THAT IN THE CAKE? [ SIGHS ]
YOU'RE KILLING ME HERE. HEY. WE DO HAVE ANOTHER OPTION.
WE HAVE CAKE POPS. CAKE POPS. WHAT DOES THAT
LOOK LIKE? WHAT IS A CAKE POP? IT'S LAYERED CAKE,
FROSTING, CAKE. THOSE ARE $1.50 APIECE,
SO YOU COULD GET SIX OF THEM. FROSTING, SPRINKLES --
YOU'RE GONNA GET EVERYTHING THAT
A CAKE WOULD HAVE. IS THAT MADE
WITH LEFTOVER INGREDIENTS? YES. OKAY. COULD WE GET THAT
TO ABOUT 75 CENTS? BUT WE'RE TALKING
LEFTOVER INGREDIENTS HERE. NO, THEY'RE FRESH. YOU'RE GONNA
THROW THEM AWAY ANYWAY. 85 CENTS. $1.50. OKAY.
95 CENTS, WE GOT A DEAL. I-I HAVE TO STICK
WITH $1.00. 98 CENTS. HOW ABOUT 99 CENTS? 99 CENTS.
YOU GOT A DEAL. PERFECT.
I'LL GO GET THOSE FOR YOU. ALL RIGHT. Abdul: IT'S STILL CAKE.
I MEAN, IT'S UNIQUE. EVERYBODY CAN HAVE
THEIR OWN, INDIVIDUAL CAKE POP, SO I THINK I CAME OUT BETTER
THAN THE CAKE. SO, I LEFT THE STORE
WITH EIGHT CAKE POPS. I APPRECIATE MY WIFE. YOU KNOW, MOST HUSBANDS DON'T
EVEN REMEMBER THEIR ANNIVERSARY. ALL THESE BALLOONS. THIS IS A LOT OF LOVE
RIGHT HERE, I'LL TELL YOU. OH. GOT TO STAY UP
FOR AT LEAST TWO, THREE HOURS. WELL, THE NAPKINS SAY "16,"
BUT I'M SURE WE GONNA MAKE IT TO 16 YEARS
OF BLISSFUL MARRIAGE, SO, HEY. SO, MY GUESTS ARRIVE
AT THIS PARTY, AND THEY WALK IN, AND THEIR FIRST REACTION IS,
"OKAY." Woman: I WAS A LITTLE BIT
SURPRISED WHEN I CAME IN. IT WAS DEFINITELY DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT RICK WOULD HAVE DONE. YOU CAN'T DO
A PARTY LIKE THIS FOR $25. HOPEFULLY, SHAUNA'S HAPPY. All: SURPRISE! [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] HOW ARE YOU GUYS? LOOK WHAT
I'VE DONE FOR YOU. I AM LOOKING
AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR ME. WHY ARE THE BALLOONS
KIND OF HANGING FROM EVERYWHERE? THAT'S AN INTERESTING STORY.
HERE'S THE DEAL WITH THAT. THEY HAVE
A SHORTAGE ON HELIUM, SO EACH ONE OF THOSE BALLOONS
I BLEW. Rick: YOU KNOW, THIS MIGHT NOT
BE THE WAY I WOULD HAVE DID IT FOR MY WIFE,
BUT IT WORKED OUT. Abdul: MY WIFE WAS
A LITTLE SURPRISED AT FIRST, BUT SHE SETTLED IN,
AND I COULD TELL THAT SHE KNEW
THAT I REALLY LOVED HER, AND IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS
IN THE END. Shauna:
ABDUL IS A CHEAPSKATE, BUT, I MEAN, MOST HUSBANDS
FORGET ANNIVERSARIES. ABDUL DID -- HE REMEMBERED IT.
HE PLANNED A PARTY. HE WENT THROUGH
A LOT OF WORK TO GET EVERYTHING
ALL PUT TOGETHER. Woman: AW. OH. 10 YEARS. Woman #2: TO 10 YEARS. Shauna:
YES, TO 10 YEARS. Abdul: 10 YEARS. Narrator: COMING UP... HERE WE GO FOR ROADKILL,
HERE WE GO! All: EAT MEAT! IT LOOKS PRETTY FRESH. IT LOOKS PRETTY CUTE. MY PLAN
FOR THE RABBIT ROADKILL IS TO MAKE SOME NICE THINGS
FOR MY FAMILY. HI. MY NAME'S VICKIE SMITH,
AND I'M AN EXTREME CHEAPSKATE. HERE'S MY HUSBAND, JOHN.
HE'S A BUTCHER. WE HAVE 10 CHILDREN. FIVE STILL LIVE AT HOME. AND I'VE ALWAYS JUST BEEN
A CHEAPSKATE, AND THE MORE KIDS I HAVE,
THE CHEAPER I'VE GOTTEN. I LIKE THIS ONE. YOU LIKE THAT ONE?
YEAH, THAT'S A CUSTOM ONE. THIS IS THE LIVING ROOM,
AND IT'S PRETTY BARE. WE DON'T WANT
TO GO IN DEBT FOR FURNITURE, SO WHAT YOU SEE IS
WHAT WE GOT. IT'S DRIVING EVERYBODY CRAZY 'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE
A PHONE HERE. WE USED TO SPEND ABOUT
$120 A MONTH ON OUR PHONE BILL, AND THAT'S JUST WAY TOO MUCH. IF I NEED
TO GET AHOLD OF SOMEBODY, I JUST WALK
OVER TO THE LIBRARY. IT'S LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY. ALL OF MY CHILDREN HAVE
ALWAYS WORN HAND-ME-DOWNS, BUT EVERY LITTLE GIRL
WANTS NEW CLOTHES. SARIAH IS
NO EXCEPTION TO THE RULE. MOM! WHAT DO YOU NEED? I DON'T HAVE
ANY CLOTHES. THERE'S A DRESS. THAT'S HORRIBLE-LOOKING.
IT'S, LIKE, FOR A FOUR-YEAR-OLD. IT'S SO CUTE. NO, IT'S NOT. WILL YOU TRY IT ON? THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH USED CLOTHING. MOM. WELL, I THINK IT'S CUTE. DO YOU LIKE<i>
ANY</i> PART OF IT? WOULD YOU LIKE -- WE COULD MAKE
A SKIRT WITH THIS PART? NO. WHAT SHOULD WE DO? WE SHOULD, LIKE, BURN IT. I KNOW SARIAH'S 13. SHE'S VERY SELF-CONSCIOUS
ABOUT MAKING SURE SHE'S NOT DIFFERENT
FROM THE REST OF THE GIRLS. [ DOORBELL RINGS ] HEY. HEY. IF YOU HAD A PHONE,
I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WALK OVER HERE ALL THE TIME
LIKE A WEIRDO. [ LAUGHS ] SO... WHATCHA WEARING? [ Laughing ] A DRESS. OH. OKAY. SO,
DO YOU WANT TO GO SHOPPING? 'CAUSE I WANT
SOME NEW CLOTHES. SO I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU WANTED TO GO WITH ME. SURE.
LET ME ASK MY MOM. I VERY RARELY GIVE MY KIDS MONEY
TO GO SHOPPING. IF I WERE
TO JUST GIVE THEM $20, THAT TAKES ME
TOTALLY OUT OF THE PICTURE. UM, SO, CAN I GO SHOPPING
WITH ALLY? TELL YOU WHAT.
WHY DON'T I GO WITH YOU GUYS? AND THEN WE CAN FIGURE OUT
HOW MUCH YOU REALLY NEED WHEN WE GET THERE, OKAY? OKAY. I REFUSE TO SPEND BIG BUCKS
ON CLOTHES. I'M GONNA CHANGE FIRST. YEAH. Vickie: I DON'T MIND
TAKING SARIAH AND ALLY TO THE LOCAL FLEA MARKET
TO LOOK FOR CLOTHES. UH... THIS LOOKS LIKE STUFF
MY DEAD GRANDMA WOULD WEAR. [ LAUGHS ] THIS STILL HAS
THE TAG ON IT. THAT'S 'CAUSE IT'S SO UGLY.
NO ONE WORE IT. THAT'S SOMETHING
YOUR MOM WOULD GET YOU. NO. NO. LET'S PUT THOSE BACK. DO YOU LIKE YELLOW? YEAH. Vickie:
I AVOID BUYING ANYTHING NEW. IF I CAN GET IT USED, I'D MUCH RATHER PAY
75% OFF OR LESS. FIND ANYTHING? YEAH,
A COUPLE THINGS. SO, DISPLAY. OKAY, SO,
I NEED ALL THESE. I WANT THESE SHOES. HOW MUCH ARE SHOES?
[ GROANS ] THIS SHIRT.
IT'S ONLY $2. $2 IS A LOT. AT A GARAGE SALE,
IT WOULD BE LIKE 25 CENTS. SO, I WANT TO MAKE SURE
HOW MUCH YOU LIKE IT. I LIKE IT A LOT. WELL, LET'S SEE.
$2, $4, $6, $8, $10. I DON'T THINK SO.
THAT'S TOO MUCH. SO, WHICH IS
YOUR FAVORITE SHIRT? THE YELLOW ONE. OKAY. TELL YOU WHAT.
WHY DON'T WE GET THIS ONE? OKAY. I FEEL SO GOOD
WHEN I SAVE MONEY. HEY, YOU READY? I HOPE SO. I KICK MYSELF WHEN I COULD HAVE
SAVED MONEY AND I DON'T. YOU'RE WELCOME.
HAVE A GREAT AFTERNOON. [ BELL DINGS ] WHEN I HAVE TO COME UP WITH
BIRTHDAY OR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS, WE DO A LOT OF HOMEMADE. John: VICKIE CAN MAKE GLOVES
AND LITTLE HATS AND THINGS, AND WE CAN SAVE MONEY
BY USING THEM FOR GIFTS. OKAY, LET'S DO IT! IF I HAVE A PROJECT
THAT REQUIRES REAL FUR AND I WAS TO GO OUT
AND BUY THAT FUR FROM THE STORE, IT'S EXORBITANTLY PRICED. SO... HERE WE GO FOR ROADKILL,
HERE WE GO! All: EAT MEAT! HERE WE GO
FOR ROADKILL... FURS ARE EXPENSIVE, BUT IF YOU
CAN FIND IT ALONG THE ROAD, IT CAN BE A LOT CHEAPER. IT SAVES ME
HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. SOMETHING'S FLUFFY. IT'S A FOX. IT'S KIND OF WEIRD TO GO FIND
ANIMALS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT PROBABLY HAVE
BUGS IN THEM. THIS ONE'S NOT GONNA WORK.
I THINK WE'D BETTER GO. I DON'T NEED EVERY PIECE
OF ROADKILL ON THE ROAD. I NEED SOMETHING USABLE. John: MY MISSION IS TO FIND
GOOD ROADKILL ON THE ROAD, AND IF IT'S FRESH, FRESH, FRESH
AND GOOD, I'M A BUTCHER. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER EATING SOMETHING
THAT'S FRESH AND GOOD. WELL, OUR LAST FIND WAS
OFF ON A SIDE ROAD. WHAT DO YOU SEE? Joshua: WHAT IS IT? IT'S A PRETTY GOOD ONE,
YOU GUYS. Narrator: COMING UP... I'VE BEEN WAITING
ALL DAY FOR THIS. HOW ABOUT SOME BARBECUED RABBIT? Yoshi: THERE GOES EASTER. [ LAUGHTER ] SOMEBODY KILLED
THE EASTER BUNNY. Vickie:
WHEN I GO TO FIND ROADKILL,
IT'S TO LOOK FOR SOME HIGH-QUALITY FUR THAT I CAN
USE FOR SOME CRAFT PROJECTS. THE OTHER ROADKILL THAT WE FOUND
WAS A BUNNY. LOOKS PRETTY FRESH. IT LOOKS PRETTY CUTE. John: THE PELT WAS STILL GOOD. THE LEGS WERE STILL GOOD,
AND SO THAT WAS QUITE A FIND. SHE'LL MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF IT. MAYBE SHE'LL MAKE ME A WALLET
ONE OF THESE TIMES. MY PLAN FOR THE RABBIT ROADKILL
IS TO MAKE SOME NICE THINGS FOR MY FAMILY
AND FOR OUR NEIGHBORS. I'M GONNA MAKE
THESE CUTE LITTLE PURSES BECAUSE KIDS REALLY LIKE THEM. NICE. WE'RE GONNA SEW IT, AND THEN WE'LL FLIP IT
INSIDE OUT, AND YOU WON'T EVEN SEE
THE EDGES. IT'LL JUST BE
THIS CUTE LITTLE FUR BAG. I'M EXCITED TO HAVE MY NEIGHBORS
TAMMY AND YOSHI FOR DINNER. TONIGHT, WE'RE SERVING
BARBECUED RABBIT AND A TOSSED SALAD MADE WITH FLOWERS
THAT WE'VE GATHERED. WHY DO WE NEED THESE? Vickie:
WE'RE GONNA MAKE A REALLY PRETTY
SALAD FOR DINNER, OKAY? LET'S GO FIND
SOMETHING TASTY-LOOKING. Vickie: IT'S SO FUN
TO BE ABLE TO WALK OUTSIDE AND KNOW WHAT YOU CAN PICK
AND PUT IN YOUR SALAD, AND IT DOESN'T COST YOU
A CENT. SMELL THIS ONE.
THIS ONE DOESN'T SMELL TASTY. EW, HUH? GROSS. WHY DON'T WE JUST BUY SOMETHING
FROM THE STORE? 'CAUSE IT COSTS MONEY,
AND WE'RE CHEAP. I NEVER EAT THESE FLOWERS. BUT THEY TASTE GOOD. IT TASTES GROSS.
I JUST TRIED IT. WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T REALLY
BE EATING IT UNLESS IT'S WASHED 'CAUSE THE COWS
CAME THROUGH HERE. EW. EW. YEAH, EXACTLY. IT'S A GOURMET SALAD
AT A ROCK-BOTTOM PRICE -- FREE. John: WE'RE GONNA HAVE
OUR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS OVER FOR DINNER TONIGHT. DON'T YOU LOVE
HOW ALL OUR PLATES MATCH? WHY DON'T THEY MATCH? I'M NOT GONNA BUY
A WHOLE NEW SET. WE'VE GOT
PLENTY OF DISHES. YOU GOT IT. WHEN I INVITED
TAMMY AND YOSHI, I JUST ASKED THEM
TO BRING THEIR OWN CHAIRS. I GOT IT! YOSHI, LET'S PUT YOU
RIGHT NEXT TO SARIAH. THEN WE'LL PUT TAMMY,
AND THEN WHAT'S YOUR NAME? CODY. CODY, LET'S PUT YOU NEXT. I GUESS
WE MIGHT AS WELL DIG IN. I'VE BEEN WAITING
ALL DAY FOR THIS. HOW ABOUT SOME BARBECUED RABBIT
THERE, YOSHI? THERE GOES EASTER. [ LAUGHTER ] SOMEBODY KILLED
THE EASTER BUNNY. TERRIBLE.
I CAN'T EAT IT. I'M GONNA TRY
SOME OF YOUR SALAD. WHAT DO YOU HAVE
IN HERE? THERE'S CLOVER
AND SAGE BLOSSOMS. IS THIS A REGULAR THING FOR YOU,
TOO, IS TO PICK... OTHER PEOPLE'S
YARD TRIMMINGS. ...WEEDS? [ LAUGHTER ] THEY WERE
OUR YARD TRIMMINGS. IT WAS WEEDS, ALL WEEDS --
DANDELIONS, FLOWERS, CLOVERS, THINGS THAT YOU JUST
DON'T NORMALLY EAT, AT LEAST IN MY WORLD. OKAY. [ LAUGHTER ] OKAY, I HAVE
A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR YOU. CAN YOU TAKE -- THESE ARE ALL THINGS
WE MADE OUT OF ROADKILL. YOU TAKE ONE OF THOSE.
THAT'S FOR YOU. I WANT TO TAKE ONE. AND ONE FOR YOU. OH, CORBETT. CORBETT,
YOU DON'T NEED THAT. IT'S JUST NOT MY THING,
PICKING UP ROADKILL. Yoshi:
I THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF NEAT 'CAUSE RABBIT FOOTS
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING I HAD WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID. MADE IT AND THEN KEEP IT --
MAYBE IT'S BETTER LUCK. AND WOULD YOU LIKE ONE? AND, TAMMY,
WOULD YOU LIKE ONE? SURE. John: OH, THAT'S NICE. AFTER VICKIE BROUGHT OUT
THE GIFTS FROM THE RABBIT ROADKILL,
I WAS KIND OF SHOCKED. WE USE
ALL PARTS OF THE RABBIT. I CAN SEE THAT. IT'S PRETTY COOL. I DON'T THINK
YOU MISSED A THING. YEAH, WE'RE CHEAP. [ LAUGHTER ]
