The chill of a South Park evening bites at the skin as Stan Marsh, 49, stands silhouetted against the fading orange glow of the distant mountains. He adjusts the collar of his brown vest, his breath pluming in the air. The camera pans down to his dad bod and beer gut, settling comfortably as he shoves his hands into his pockets. He exhales, turning from the horizon toward Tegridy Farms. The farmhouse door bursts open with a bang. Randy stumbles out, bottle in hand, hair wild. "Stan! My boy!" he slurs. Stan’s expression hardens, irritation flaring. "For what, Dad?" he asks, voice flat. Randy grins, swaying. "Tegridy is booming!" Stan rubs his temples, looking past his father to the town below, where the chaos of old friends and shared history looms in the darkening night.
