That’s okay, because the cop has a wife in Nebraska who he wants JTT to help him reconcile with. JTT agrees, because not only will he get to go to Nebraska, but the cop will buy him a bus ticket to New York if his wife will get back with him.
A scene with Dad and Sis polishing the Porsche. Sis pretends there’s a scratch on the car and then rudely tells her father to “get a life” when he becomes upset. Damn you, Disney, and your insistence upon making movies with a younger sibling who is precocious and therefore rude!
JTT and the cop arrive at the restaurant where the cop's wife is working. There’s a fat joke slid in there because the cop thinks his wife is beautiful, but since she’s fat, she can’t be! JTT manages to get the cop reunited with his wife, and also resolves some of his own personal issues with his Dad’s new wife. Fantastic. There are shots of cows while the cop sings a Christmas song -- with JTT-written lyrics -- to his wife. What are cows doing in the restaurant? Can you imagine eating beef while looking at cows? Restaurants in Nebraska are so weird!
JTT boards the bus with the ticket the cop promised him; meanwhile, the cop and his wife do some make-up making out on the hood of his car because they have no shame.
In the SUV, Mary wonders about why Earth has intelligent life while other planets don’t. Then she makes a joke about how Robbie is not intelligent life. She doesn’t mention that she is also not intelligent life, so I guess it’s smart these days to pose almost naked for a men’s magazine while underage. Mary gets all excited because she sees a sign advertising a fake Bavarian village hotel and demands that they stay there, because she has no class.
JTT enters a bathroom. It’s not a bathroom on the bus, so I’m not exactly sure where he is or what’s going on.
Apparently, this Bavarian village hotel has a mall inside it, because that’s where Robbie and Mary appear to be. Mary pegs Robbie with a snowball made from fake Bavarian snow, and he chases after her with his own snowball.
JTT is spinning a postcard rack around in some store, which is also not on a bus, when a television set above the cashier’s counter comes on with a news report about Christmas preparations in the Bavarian mall. Oops! There’s Robbie and Mary, and the reporter caught them underneath a mistletoe. They mack, and JTT is angry.
