As POTUS makes his way toward the podium and is announced, everyone claps. Jed: "Good morning. We haven't met. I'm your Commander-in Chief." A wave of polite laughter as they all sit down. He tells them, "This is the greatest fighting force in the history of the world, and I wanna tell you why...."
Josh, Toby, and a guy who must be Cap are in the back of a pickup, barrelling down the road. Cap says it's a regular diesel engine, no retrofitting. Cool! That means Frink and I can use soy fuel in our car, since it's a VW that takes diesel. Cap says, "The glow plugs heat up the fuel, but from there the soy diesel just keeps exploding on itself like any engine." Cathy and Donna are in the cab. Josh asks, "You did it yourself?" Cap says it's easy. Toby's antsy about the fact that Jed's speech will have started by now. Josh tells Cap that they have to get Toby to Unionville, because he's going to wig. Josh tells Toby to take his mind off it, maybe by thinking about the lovely Cathy: "Farmer's daughter with a Master's degree? Wholesome, but...maybe not too wholesome?" Oh my Lord, what a jackass. He grins at Toby: "I think she liked you, too." Toby's unmoved. Josh asks Cap: "How do you know Cathy?" Cap: "She's my girlfriend." Well, that wipes the smirk off Josh's face. Let me just add for the benefit of those who didn't see the show, that Cap is about the size and shape of a junior sumo wrestler. He could probably tie Toby and Josh into a granny knot without working up a sweat. Josh tries to recover: "That's great! She's really nice." Desperate to change the subject, he looks over Cap's shoulder and asks, "Is that corn out there?" Cap says no. Josh: "What is it?" Cap: "Trees." Bwah! Josh: "'Kay."
