Следи за яйцом!
Миссис Гаррисон объясняет своим ученикам как важно стать хорошими родителями. Для этого она разбивает их на пары и дает им всем задание — заботиться о розданных ею куриных яйцах в течение недели. Между тем она вспоминает свою бывшую любовь — Мистера Мазохиста — и решает вернуться к нему. Однако Мистер Мазохист не собирается возвращаться, а, напротив, будучи счастливым с Элом-гомосеком, собирается жениться на последнем. Гаррисон в ярости зарекается, что запретит однополые браки. Тем временем Стэн испытывает ужасную ревность, так как для выполнения задания Миссис Гаррисон объединила в пару Кайла и Венди — любимую девочку Стэна — тогда как мальчику приходится заботиться о яйце с Биби. Дженет Гаррисон агитирует собранную ею толпу на «отметеливание дрюликов», но толпа предлагает ей более рациональный выход — обращение к губернатору. Губернатор отказывает им, ссылаясь на то, что исследования пригодности однополых пар на роль родителей не проводились. Дженет обещает ему провести такие исследования. Для этого она реорганизует пары, меняя Кайла и Биби местами. Эксперимент оканчивается провалом, и Миссис Гаррисон приходится обращаться за помощью к профессиональному киллеру. Прямо в руках Стэна, который забрал яйцо у Кайла несколькими днями ранее, желая показать, что он тоже умеет проявлять заботу, яйцо взрывается от пули, выпущенной киллером. Выясняется, что Кайл подменил яйцо. Мальчики спешат показать его своей учительнице, которая представляет результаты исследований демонстрантам в присутствии губернатора. Узнав об этом, Гаррисон поручает киллеру устранить угрозу, но тот терпит неудачу. Мистер Мазохист и Большой Эл-гомосек женятся, Венди исповедуется Стэну, но тот отвечает: «Да плевать мне, что ты думаешь».

«Follow That Egg!» is the tenth episode of Season Nine, and the 135th overall episode of South Park. It aired on November 2, 2005. [1]
Synopsis
In an effort to thwart her ex-lovers plans to get married, Mrs. Garrison leads the charge against gay marriage. [1]
Mrs. Garrison pairs off the kids in her class and assigns them to care for eggs as if they were babies as part of a lesson in parenting responsibility. Everyone gets a white egg from Mr. Garrison except for Tolkien who receives a brown one and makes a shocked facial expression. Stan is worried that he will get paired with his ex-girlfriend, Wendy Testaburger, who he has not spoken to since their breakup (a reference to Wendy’s smaller part since their breakup) and he still has feelings for. To his horror, however, Wendy is assigned to Kyle Broflovski (Stan, meanwhile, is paired with Bebe Stevens).
The assignments cause tension, as Stan starts to suspect Kyle of having feelings for Wendy. Meanwhile, Bebe confesses to Wendy that she is angry at Stan’s indifference to their egg, causing her to speak negatively about him. Stan calls Kyle and asks him sarcastically if he is alright. Kyle comments that the project is stupid. Stan retorts, «yeah, well so is your hat», greatly offending Kyle.
The governor demands a study demonstrating that gay families are unstable before agreeing to veto the marriage bill. Mrs. Garrison thus reorganizes Stan, Kyle, Wendy and Bebe into same-sex couples, hoping that Stan’s poor «parenting» skills will destroy the egg and provide the results the governor needs.
In a parody of child custody battles, Wendy becomes upset because Stan and Kyle now have the egg that originally belonged to her and Kyle, which she has become emotionally attached to. The boys remain on bad terms; Stan is still suspicious about Kyle’s motives with Wendy and frequently snaps at him, while Kyle is a little confused as to what has made Stan so aggressive. Eric Cartman breaks his egg and tries to ask Mrs. Garrison to give him an F and his partner an A, (resulting in a C-) arguing that, since he was the sole person responsible for the breaking of the egg his partner is blameless. However, Mrs. Garrison is so bent on getting the gay marriage law vetoed, she gives him a new one with a threat to break his legs and burn down his house if he breaks it again while strangling him. She makes plans for the final egg check in front of the governor’s office, and hires an assassin, who destroys Stan’s egg.
However, it is then revealed that Kyle, fearing Stan’s ability as a parent, gave him a fake egg and saved the real egg. He tells Stan that he had no interest in Wendy. Later, Kyle asks Stan if he really thinks his hat is stupid; Stan responds that he does not. The two boys reconcile and rush to the governor’s office, narrowly escaping the assassin’s gunfire, and even bombs (somehow already planted in the ground). They reach the podium weary and hurt. Stan presents the egg to Mrs. Garrison in a hoarse voice before losing consciousness and fainting. The bill passes and same-sex marriage is legalized in South Park, which confuses Kyle.
The episode concludes with Mr. Slave and Big Gay Al marrying with Father Maxi officiating. Randy Marsh congratulates Stan and Kyle for what they have done for gay marriage rights, apparently ignorant of the fact that Stan and Kyle have no idea what they actually did. Wendy apologizes to Stan for doubting his ability to be a parent. To her surprise, Stan simply dismisses her, which upsets her and causes her to leave.

Script
Bebe, you’re paired up with Stan. Lola and Tolkien, Red and Craig, and Esther and Bradley. [the kids begin to pair up. Mrs. Garrison begins to distribute the eggs] Now, I’m going to sign each of your eggs myself, so that we’ll know it’s the same one at the end of the week. That way if anybody cheats and tries to replace their eggs, we’ll know, Eric. [gives him a stern look] All you have to do is make it to Friday with your egg unharmed to prove what great little parents you are. [Tolkien is somewhat shocked that he got a brown egg. Mrs. Garrison returns to the front of the class] Okay children, you can now take the rest of the school period to decorate your egg however you wish. Good luck, and remember, a dead baby means an F for the parents. [the kids begin decorating their eggs, and music begins to play]
[seated at his desk gazing at the students, daydreaming]
Just look at all these little families
Newfound couples in a happy home.
It takes me back to another time
When I had a love of my own. [holds in her hands a signed portrait of Mr. Slave]
[bolts up and starts singing aloud]
Love, love lost long ago, it was special then, it’s over now.
[picking flowers in a meadow]
Love, so darn frail, you know? It shriveled and died. I don’t know how.
[Stan wanders through the neighborhood with hands in his pockets and reaches Wendy’s place. He looks through a window and sees Kyle and Wendy working on their assignment in the kitchen. Mr. Garrison appears next to him]
Love, love lost long ago, it was special then, it’s over now.
[prances through town and stops at a bridal shop. She imagines himself as the bride]
Guess that I’ll never know how it all went wrong. How how how?
[sits on her bed holding the portrait, then decides to drive to Mr. Slave’s house.]
Well perhaps I should try and boldly go and rekindle that love lost long ago.
[steps out of his car, goes up to the doorbell, and rings it. Mr. Slave opens there, then expresses a muted surprise] Hello, Mr. Slave. [bats her eyes at him]
Love, love lost long ago, it was special then, it’s over now.
Guess that I’ll never know how it all went wrong. How how how?
Well perhaps I should try and boldly go and rekindle that love lost long ago.
