Steve is mocking Dr. Weird to their Mexican janitor, telling him to "fill him with barbecue sauce, because he's dumb as hell." He then gets eaten by Dr. Weird's giant floating head.
[edit] Plot
It's Labor Day, and the Aqua Teens are barbecuing. Frylock is trying to make it a healthy holiday by barbecuing tofu T-bones, but Master Shake has other ideas, bringing in a whole cow which he slaughtered on a farm. How does he plan on cooking it? With an industrial size deep fryer, which he keeps on the Aqua Teens' property in their driveway.
After flash frying the cow, which is filled with pork and cheese as well, Frylock wants to know what Shake plans to do with the oil in the fryer. After learning that Shake will just tip the fryer over and let the oil run off into the street, Frylock tells Shake there's oil recycling facilities in the town, with one being within easy walking distance. Shake ignores Frylock, telling him to do his nails while the men eat.
A week has gone by, and the rats have found their way to the fryer, with some drowning in the oil. Frylock orders Shake to get rid of the fryer...which he tries to do by pushing the fryer into Carl's yard. Carl tries to stop Shake, but after Shake reminds him that he had eaten the cow too, they head to the forest and dump the oil there. It is then that the trees come to life and apprehend Carl, while Shake runs away.
The next day, Shake receives a summons from the Wood Court for dumping the oil in the woods. To penalize him, the Trees plant a huge tree directly in front of the Aqua Teens' house, which Shake knocks down and sets on fire, earning him another summons and an arrest by the Trees.
Shake then stands trial, originally represented by a shrub that tries to plead guilty on Shake's behalf, before Frylock takes the position as his lawyer. We then learn what's happened to Carl...the Trees are punishing him by using his skin as a pad of Post-it notes!
After a scene where the trial is proven to be a farce, and which Shake rips the arms off his shrub lawyer, Frylock finally reveals in the Tree Law book the page that proves Shake is innocent. However, since the book is made from paper (historically made from trees), the Trees immediately go after Frylock, who blows up the forest and hauls Shake and the rest out of there...to the chagrin of Shake, who wants to know why Frylock didn't do it before. After Frylock says Shake was lucky he got off because he was guilty, Shake declares he will find the real criminals.
