Why is no one is eating at our food truck?
I don't get it. We've got plenty of fish,
which felt like it was gonna be the biggest hurdle.
It's the name!
But your idea is so gross!
[ Sighs ] Fine. What have we got to lose?
Klaus: You won't regret this.
I need seven sticks -- five battered,
two double-dipped -- on the fly!
Look at all this cash! We're rich!
Hey, I saw the name of your truck, and I laughed so hard
I just had to try your fish sticks!
[ Gasps ] Daniel! You gotta get down here!
The food is just okay, but the name? Oh, man!
It's kind of funny.
Wear something nice.

So, how can we get people back in the mall?
My daughter saved her rec center
by having a dance competition.
I don't wanna copy her exactly, so maybe...
ski race?
I think Erastus the caretaker is breeding wild dogs
in the old Miller's Outpost location.
That's, uh... not really an idea.
No. No, it's not.
"I wish there was something to eat besides oatmeal."
You sell this card in your store?
But that's it!
Roger, I've got it!
What is the beating heart of any mall?
Mr. Javitz's indomitable spirit?
No! The food court! The key is the food court!
I don't know, Steve. Unless you mean a food
with, like, a big food judge!
"I sentence you to free hay!"
No, Roger!
We're gonna have a food festival
and fill the food court with food trucks.
Dad just texted me that they have a whole fleet of them.
They're doing really well, apparently.
Well, I guess we could tack that onto the hay idea.
Yes!
We're gonna save the mall!
Also, Tuttle says you're breeding wild dogs here?
If wild dogs are gonna be having sex, which they are, a lot,
I would rather it be under my supervision, Steve.
Don't bust my balls on this.

Gotta hand it to ya, Steve.
You were dead wrong about the hay.
People showed up for it. We have saved the mall!
For now. But how long can we really keep this going?
We only have to hold on until Mr. Javitz
comes back with a tenant for the anchor store!
But, Roger, people don't go to malls anymore.
And, honestly, I don't think Mr. Javitz is coming back.
Steve, there are things we don't joke about --
Mr. Javitz not coming back
and the time I shit my pants
playing racquetball with Judd Apatow.
You need to face it, Roger!
Mr. Javitz abandoned the mall, and he abandoned you!
You don't know that! You don't know him!
How could I?! He's been gone for 25 years!
Please stop saying "25 years"!
[ Sobs wildly ]
Roger?
[ Roger sniffling ]
Roger?
[ Whimpering ]
Roger, I'm sorry. I know I was a little harsh.
Here.
I just worry that with the mall you're hanging on too tight.
Maybe it's time to let go and admit
that Mr. Javitz isn't gonna walk through that door.
You're right, Steve. He isn't.
Because he's gonna
And here he comes now!
[ Haunting organ music plays ]

Floats like a butterfly, floats like a bee.
It's...the J Man! Mr. Javitz!
And this is Steve.
Steve, you're blowing it.
Jesus. Call some girls or something.
