Full Description

When Butters Stotch shows his friends the paycheck he earned at his new ice cream parlor job, a jealous Eric Cartman is spurred to get a job at the same shop. After a few hours there, in which he displays a poor work ethic, he decides he does not want to work for a business owner to profit from his labor. He quits and convinces Butters to allocate a portion of his salary to him and Kenny McCormick so they can renovate the old hot dog stand that Cartman and his mother Liane Cartman were forced to move into when she quit her job for him in "City People".

Butters is angered, however, by the delays caused by Cartman and Kenny's laziness, as his decisions are restricted to things like giving the stand the gag name DikinBaus (as a play on the phrase "dick and balls") and ordering amusement rides built on site, which Liane disapproves of, and which drains Butter's bank account without his permission. Enraged at this, and at Cartman's excuses for his failure to hire a staff, Butters single-handedly opens the restaurant as its sole employee.

The hot dog stand is successful, and Butters gets his investment back from the bank. The banker suggests he expand, but Butters says all he wanted to do was to be an ice cream parlor employee, so he found overseas investors to buy the restaurant. Since the location is occupied by the Cartmans, the investors agree to buy back their old home. As Liane drags Eric out of the diner and back to their old house, he screams in protest, "I want DikinBaus! I want my DikinBaus!"
