[Music] I wonder where he is. I don't know. I haven't seen him all day. [Music] Hurry up, Kevin. Come on, Kevin. Let's go. Hurry up. Let's go. [Music] Let's go, man. Let's go. I can't wait. [Music] Whoopy. Johnson fall. [Music] [Applause] Yippee! [Music] Heat. Heat. It sure is nice out here. Kevin, come on, man. We got to get back. 2:00, buddy. Got to hurry up. [Music] It was beautiful. All them trees and grass. It's so different than the city. I loved it. It was so quiet out there. It bothered me. Glad you enjoyed yourself. I liked it. I want to go again. Come on, Jimmy. Let us go again soon. Yeah. Can we go again soon? Maybe we can try it again next year. You guys take it easy here. Bye, Jimmy. What's the matter, buddy? What's on your mind? Oh, I was just thinking how different it was out there. Come on. People throw stuff around and nobody cares about anything. So what you going to do about it? Well, what can I do? Come here. I want to show you something. Look over here, Kevin. Nobody cares about this yard. You can tell by the way they throw trash around. Now you take this yard. Now it looks to me that somebody really cares. They have taken the time and trouble to make it look nice. Now they really care about the yard. But what can I do? There's a lot of things you can do, Kevin. You could take on any small project. Anything you think you can do, you can do it. You can take this one area, man, and make it really nice. You understand? Maybe you can find somebody else with the project. You might be able to help them. Okay. Well, look, I got to go. I'll talk to you later. Okay. All right. See you, Jimmy. Maybe Jimmy's right. Maybe I can do something to help. But I got to find a place that's not too big. Something that I can handle. It's going to be a lot of work. Don't worry, it'll be worth it. We got to get rid of all these glitches cuz I almost just cut my finger. Come on over here. Help me carry this stuff. Make sure you get all them big rocks. What are you going to do with this old car hood? This is going to be a nice car once we get all the stuff out. Get the head. Hey, Miranda. What you doing? We cleaning out this shop for Mrs. Barrett. Why you're crazy? No. You see it look bad in that place over there already. And plus, it's going to be a god. But people come in here and throw more stuff in here. We going to put up sign. It's going to be hard work. Kevin, could I help? I really want to help. Well, okay. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Woo! Oh no. [Music] What do you think you're doing? I want to plant these seeds. You don't plant seeds, Dad. Why? How do you know? You don't know how to plant a garden. Yes, I do. No, you don't. Yes, I do. No, you don't. Yes, I do. How do you know? Cuz Miss Bang gave me a [Music] book. You see, you make the rows and then you put the seeds a couple of inches away from each other. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] You know what? I hope everything turns out all right. I wouldn't want anything stupid to happen to this god. Don't worry. We did everything by the book. Now, you know, this just makes me mad. People throwing their trash and stuff over here. Why don't they put it in the trash can and throw it next door when nobody cares? Baby, they don't know it's a god. Baby, they don't know we grow and stuff. They know. They just don't care. Maybe we can throw some signs and tell people there's a god in here. [Music] Hi, Miranda. Hi, Jimmy. Where's Kevin? He's around back. Thank you. I'll see you later. Okay. I'm ready. I'm much better. Hey Kevin, what's happening buddy? Oh, nothing. Man, got a beautiful place here. Looks like a lot of hard work. Yep. Wow. Doing pretty good. Was it worth it? See? See, it's much nicer than that place over there. It's like a little bit of country right here in the city. I did it. I worked and I made this place a whole lot better than before. You did a good job, Kevin. Thanks, man. Real proud of you, buddy. Thanks, man. Come on. Let's go get a coat. Hey, throw the ball to me. Go out for a pass. Come on over here. [Music] down. [Music] Come on, you guy. Let's go. Let's go down a mile here. What happened? Somebody came in and wrecked the garden. Just tore it all up. Ruined everything. Why would they do that to our garden? I don't know. It's just rude. So, hey, what happened to the gun? Somebody wrecked the garden. Yeah. Like, wow. They just came and they just ripped it all up. Oh, wow. It's a shame. But it was fun to do. But it's no fun now. I know how you feel, Miranda. I mean, you really did a good job on this yard. You made it look really beautiful, man. Everybody was talking about how it looked. You had a lot of fun, didn't you? Don't you remember, Kevin? You had a lot of fun, right? Got to sell vegetables, made some extra spending money. Think you want to do it again? No, because people act like they don't want nothing good around. What about you, Kevin? You want to do it again next year?
