Soon, Peter gets drunk and runs to the bathroom , cleverly knocking everyone in his path; Brady is delighted with this run and invites Peter forwards to the New England Patriots football team.

However, Peter was soon expelled from the club for excessive self-conceit: in particular, after a single touchdown he put on the field an entire orchestra performing a song in his honor; Peter is being sold to London Silly Nannies by Stupid London Sisters. Peter decides to prove that he is not so bad, and challenges the Patriots to a duel with the Sisters.

The challenge has been accepted, the game has begun, but after the very first strike, Peter's team scatters, leaving him face to face with the Patriots racing at full strength. Peter, of course, was crushed, but Tom Brady respected Peter that he did not flinch before them.
