After Nick, Dale and Kurt decide to launch their own business, Bert and his son, Rex, meet them at a golf course. Bert orders 100,000 Shower Buddies from them, only to cancel the order, leaving them with a half-million-dollar debt as the trio stupidly didn't make him signed any contract to bind him legally to the production. Later on, after Rex's kidnapping was staged, Bert called the police after they told him not to, proving that money is his main priority. In a bottom floor of a hotel parking garage, Nick, Kurt and Dale wearing homemade ghost masks ordered him to give up the money and his jacket and suit so that Kurt can impersonate Bert.

Bert scoffs they would shoot him and insults "Big mouth! Nothing behind it!" before getting shot in the chest. Nick, Kurt and Dale panic over this and Kurt and Dale immediately blame Nick for this, thinking he has just killed the man. But Rex cackles in laughter behind them while holding a Colt Python, revealing that he was the one who shot Burt in the chest. Rex complains he got fed up with his dad's shallowness for having called the police instead of just simply sending in the money, then shoots Bert again in the head. Rex reasons his dad wanted his own son to die rather than give up $5 million.
