This was just a delightful episode (aren't they all?) and I always love it when Bob and Louise bond over something weird and wonderful, and Louise shows a little of her scared, vulnerable self.
As someone who looks at accountant stuff all day long (or at least spreadsheets), I can tell you that Chick is NOT HAPPY.
One of the best episodes EVAR.

Yeah, I really don't have anything to say other than the fact that this episode was pretty much peak Bob's Burgers greatness. So funny and touching and lovely.

The family huddle, where Louise says she has an idea that everyone is going to hate but they all love the idea, really made me laugh.

Yeah, this was a really great episode. It started off good with Bob talking to/with that jicama, and it just got better from there.

The names on the movie posters were good too:

• My life as a person
• A dirty place
• Song of the fishwife
• Tuesday in Tuscany
• The messenger who got killed
• A beautiful robot
• TOTAL URGENCY

Behind Bob's Burgers for this episode, with the usual host as well as the writer, the director and the guy who did Koji's voice.

This was especially touching to see Louise freak out about growing up and growing distant from her father.
