"'''Texas Tea'''" is the forty-fourth live-action segment of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' Its corresponding animated episode is "[[The Trojan Koopa]]." In it, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] strike oil and try to sell it to [[Ted Bull]], a wealthy oil tycoon.
==Plot synopsis==
In the kitchen area of [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]], both [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], wearing aprons, are in the midst of attempting to slice tomatoes, which is proving difficult, as the knife they are using is quite dull. As Mario complains to Luigi that the knife "couldn't cut jello", he proceeds to say that they need a new one, to which Luigi responds to by saying he should dream on, as they're both broke and can barely afford to keep their plumbing shop open, let alone buy new knives. Agreeing with Luigi, Mario laments that people just aren't having plumbing problems anymore, saying that they just don't make pipes as leaky as they used to. Mario goes on to say that if business keeps going the way it is, he and Luigi will have to cut down on their overeating. Hearing Mario say this, Luigi retaliates by saying what does he mean "we" and proceeds to call Mario "roly-poly
After a good chuckle, Mario gathers up the bits and pieces of the tomato he was trying to cut earlier and asks Luigi to get him another one from the tomato garden they have in a bathtub nearby. Obliging to Mario's request, Luigi heads over to the tomato garden, saying that the tomatoes look good this year, which causes Mario to yell over to Luigi to get him some really fresh ones, and grabs a tomato plant and yanks from the dirt. After Luigi removes the tomato plant from the dirt, a small geyser of oil suddenly shoots upward out of the soil. As Luigi excitedly alerts him to the "black gold" that is spouting from their tomato garden, Mario rushes over and, along with Luigi, gets sprayed by the so-called "Texas tea
As Luigi watches Mario clumsily fumble with a tomato plant near the oil, the apartment doorbell suddenly rings and a man dressed in a spotless white suit and cowboy hat enters, drawing both Mario and Luigi's attention. Asking who the man is, Luigi gets the response from him that he is [[Ted Bull]], president of [[List of Implied Organizations#Bull Oil Company|Bull Oil Company]]. Greeting Ted, Luigi tells him to come right in, which Ted does, descending the stairs into the workshop, where he proceeds to give Luigi his business card. Taking the card, Luigi introduces Ted to Mario, who greets Ted with a hearty handshake with his oil covered hand. Realizing his hand is covered in oil and that he has just coated Ted's hand with it as well, Mario apologizes, only to be told by Ted, who wipes his hand off on Mario's shirt, that its alright, as an oily handshake is the best kind of handshake. After introductions are done, Ted states to Mario and Luigi that he hears they struck oil, which causes a surprised Luigi that news travels fast. In response to Luigi's comment, Ted says he can smell a gusher a mile away and proceeds to tell him and Mario that he has a deal they can't refuse, one that will make them rich beyond their wildest dreams.
