Description

There is a DVD sale, and Peter picks up Road House. After a conversation with Brian, Peter decides to take the lessons learned from the movie, and start kicking people to solve his problems. After getting in an accident due to steering his car by kicking the steering wheel, Peter rear-ends a pretty young girl. Brian ends up asking her our, but when he goes to pick her up, she is already out on a date with someone else. Instead, Brian ends up going out with her mom, Rita. They end up getting engaged, but everyone (eventually including Brian) thinks she is too old for him. They end up breaking up because Brian cheats on her with some random girl from a bar.
