BB (My Name Is Earl)

"BB (My Name Is Earl)"

"BB" is an episode of the American sitcom My Name Is Earl.

Synopsis

Earl decides to make up for stealing coins from parking meters by feeding strangers' meters. An officer stops him and has to give him a ticket for doing so, and after finding out Earl has been driving without his license, issues a ticket for that as well.

We learn that Joy has been holding Earl's license hostage but, with the help of Darnell, he is able to retrieve it and procede to court to pay his fines. At court, he runs into courtroom sketch artist Gwen Waters, a childhood crush who Earl once shot with a BB gun and thus #147 on the List.

Talking to Gwen, Earl learns that the BB incident 20 years earlier was the last time she'd spoken to her father, so he vows, against Gwen's wishes, to reunite them.

Earl and Randy find Gwen's father, Paul, stumbling drunk outside of his trailer home, trying to plug a lamp into a tree. Earl and Randy try a number of ways to transport Paul back to his estranged daughter. Hijinks ensue.

They eventually manage to trap him in his trailer and tow it to the courthouse for the planned reunion. Seeing him drunk and pathetic, with his pants around his ankles, Gwen says that, though she doesn't want to talk to him, she has realized that she has no reason to stay mad at him. She cracks a smile and tells Earl that he can cross her off of his list.

Quotes

• Darnell: Do you really think these pictures will inspire the troops?
  Joy: When I go all spread-eagle Whitesnake-style on the hood it will! Hold on. I got an eye booger the size of a walnut.
• Joy: You cheatin’ son of a bitch! You’re supposed to say ‘Uno’ when you only got one card left!
  Earl: I said ‘One’.
  Joy: You’re supposed to say ‘Uno’! It’s a Mexican game!
  Earl: Joy, this is why the kids won’t play Candy Land with you anymore.
• Darnell: [referring to the hole in the wall behind a picture of the Last Supper] I can’t believe there’s a hole behind this picture. That’s a relief. Last week it was banging on the wall, and I thought Jesus was mad at me for putting that Darwin fish on the back of the car. Guess it was just windy.
• Darnell: Worms don't fight. They're peace-loving people. They have 5 hearts.
• Darnell: Listen, Earl. I’m gonna turn around and then I’m gonna bend over and tie my shoe. You might wanna thumb through my hair while I do it.
  Earl: Okay… [Darnell turns and ties his shoe, while Earl pulls his drivers license out of Darnell's hair] Thanks, Crabman!
  Darnell: No problem, Earl.
  Earl: [voiceover] That was by far the best thing I’d ever found in Darnell’s hair.
• Prosecutor: The prosecution will show that the defendant was taking money in exchange for sex at the Rainbow Burger drive-thru.
  Patty the Daytime Hooker: That's a lie! I wasn't taking money for sex, I was taking burgers for sex. And curly fries for a diddle and a pickle for a lookie. [to her lawyer] It's my Tuesday afternoon special.
• Randy: How was that cavity search? Got any, or do ya brush pretty good?
  Earl: Randy... Different cavity.
  Gwen: Idiot.
  Randy: Name caller!
• Randy: Why'd you ever have a crush on her? She's a bitch. And not the good kind like that "kiss my grits" lady from the diner show. "Kiss my grits." [laughs] We should go to Arizona.
• Randy: Earl, before when you said "different cavity," did you mean "butt cavity"?
  Earl: 'fraid so, Randy.
  Randy: [shakes head] Sometimes I don't like the world we live in.
• Randy: [to Earl, regarding Gwen's dad] He's not just drunk, Earl. He's "Uncle Roger" drunk. I miss Uncle Roger.
• Earl: He’s awake now so I put him in the bath and threw in a bar of soap.
  Randy: What’d he look like naked?
  Earl: Kinda like E.T. when they found him by the river.
  Randy: That poor little monkey. He just wanted to phone home.
• Randy: He threw my favourite food at me, Earl. What was I supposed to do?
  Earl: Randy, baloney isn’t your favourite food, animal crackers are.
  Randy: No, they’re my favourite food shaped like an animal. Do you even listen to me when we talk at night?
• Patty the Daytime Hooker: [to the judge after receiving a $500 fine] Any chance you want to take that $500 out in trade? I'll let you take a ride on the Patty wagon.
• Patty the Daytime Hooker: I ain't going to jail for a cheeseburger handy!
