It is my pleasure to personally...

...to personally announce to you on behalf of the NFG...

...on behalf of the NFG Canada

that you and your brother Peter

are recipients of The Explore and Create Grant

for your animation proposal called, um,

Endless Cookie Caca Nada.

Caca Nada? Caca Nada.

What's that supposed to mean?

...on behalf of NFG Canada

that you and your brother Peter are recipients

of the Explore and Create Grant

for the animation proposal called, um,

Endless Cookie Caca Nada.

Caca Nada?

Wow. This is great. Look at the size of this cheque.

Hey, Koko. Koko.

- What? - Seth: Koko, come here.

- Why? - I wanted to introduce you

to this, um... this is the NFG officer,

and this is Koko, my wife.

Nice to meet you, Officer.

Seth: And our little baby Racco.

Racco, look at the size of this cheque.

It's huge!

Now, I can fly up to Shamattawa to visit your cousins

and your Uncle Pete,

one of the greatest storytellers in the world.

Well, have fun driving to visit your brother.

Oh, can we drive out there?

Oh, actually, we can't drive there,

'cause there's no roads. Uh, no roads go there.

- We have to-- I have to fly. - Oh.

Oh. No roads go there.

Isn't that something?

Well, nice to meet you,

and see you in seven months when this movie's all done.

Nice to meet you, Officer.

- Bye-bye. - Damn.

I should have said seven years.

I better call Pete and tell him we got this dough.

Woman: Teepee's on fire! Teepee's on fire!

Teepee's on fire!

Child: Teepee's on fire! The teepee's on fire!

The teepee's on fire!

Teepee on fire!

Is someone going to answer that phone ringing?

Hey, anybody got a light?

- What? - What the hell?

- Hello. - Hey, Pete.

It's your brother Seth.

Hey. I knew it was going to be you.

- Um, uh-- - So, how's it going?

Uh, it's going good, man. Oh, yeah. Okay.

- So, I, uh, I got good news. - Pete: Yeah?

- So, we got that grant. - Wow. That's fricking great.

So, yeah. We're going to make a movie, I guess, but, uh--

- Yeah. - Seth: Yeah. What did I write?

I wrote, "I want to make a documentary animation,

record seven stories."

Uh, basically, it's like,

you're one of the best storytellers I know, and...

...and, uh, I made you director on it, too.

- Pete: Oh, okay. - Because, obviously,

like, you know, they're your stories, so...

- Yeah. - It'll also allow you to,

like, veto anything you don't like in the movie.

- Woman: Wah! - Seth: Veto it all!

Anyhow, um, the goal is to make something, uh, funny,

beautiful, spiritual, political, complex, simple, and true.

- Pete: Oh, okay. - Seth: And that should be easy,

right?

Anyhow, uh, I know there's no room in the house,

and, um, I could help rebuild the teepee that burned down

and, uh, and then stay there

if that seems like a all right idea.

Yeah. I was-- Uh, it's not going to take long to-- to build

once we get going.

Well, that'd be fun. I could help you--

Pete: I was trying--

Yeah. I was trying to--

I was trying to get it up before you got here.

Seth: Oh, me? Well, I could always sleep

on the porch in a tent for a couple days. Uh--

Problem's going to be the dogs.

Going crazy in the tent?

They're going to want to move in.

Seth: Well, geez.

That's all right. Whatever.

We'll play it by ear. Um...

Okay. That's cool. You want to come up?

Yeah. Uh, awesome. Okay.

Well, I'll, uh--

I guess I'll be seeing you soon, then.

Oh, okay. All right. Take care.

Hey, get out of there.

Thanks. All right. See you soon.

Okay. Hey, get out of there.

Get out of there.

Pete: So, it's set to go?

Okay.

I went out trapping one time with those, um--

I was using those, um, body-hold, um, Conibear traps.

And, um, they're square steel traps,

and I had set it up.

And I set it up pretty good, I thought, if, um--

So an animal wouldn't be able to drag it away.

And then... and...

um.... and then I saw

the bait fell off,

so I thought, "Okay. I'll just stick the bait back on."

And--

And I was just holding on to the top part of the trap,

and I went to stick the bait on.

Wait a sec. Uh, sorry...

- Hmm? - ...to stop you,

but there's a toilet flush in the middle of the story.

We'll just wait till, uh, Antonio comes out.

What?

Machine: What? What? What? What?

What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?

What? What? What? What?

What? What? What? What?

♪ Endless Cookie... ♪

Machine: Endless... Cookie.

Hey, Cookie. Can you, uh, turn that thing--

Can you turn that thing down? I'm recording in here.

Yeah. Sure. No problem.

Machine: Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Sure...

No problem. No problem....

Antonio, I can-- I can hear the volume

on your, uh, video games.

Can you, um-- Can you maybe turn that down?

Oh, you can hear that?

Oh, sorry. Let me turn that down.

Uh, Dez. Dez!

Hey, Dez! Dez!

Oh, bitch, shut the fuck up, please.

I'm trying to sleep. I'm trying to sleep!

I just fucking got off work, five in the morning.

Can you just let me sleep, please?

Oh. Whoops. Sorry.

Um, Simone?

Dez: Banging, banging, banging...

- Uh, yeah? - Dez: Let me sleep...

Seth: Never mind. Just keep being quiet. Thanks.

Uh, Ada.

- Ada. - Oh, shit. Okay.

Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Hold on. Yeah. Boom.

Fucking turns off.

Uh, don't forget about Aylen, Naz, and Chris.

Oh, yeah. I'll tell--

I'll tell them to be quiet when I get back to Toronto.

Good idea.

Sylvester, I can hear you chewing

and squeaking or something.

What the fuck is that noise?

It's not me. That's the noise of the puppies under the stairs.

Machine: What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?

- Okay. - Machine: What? What? What?

Cookie. Cookie,

can you turn that thing, uh, down?

- Thanks. - Machine: Turn that down.

Thanks...

Seth: Sterling, you're going to have to turn the volume down

on the TV, uh, when, uh, I start recording in a minute,

- okay, man? - Oh, okay.

Seth: Oh, hey. This looks like it was filmed in Toronto.

I thought everything was filmed in Toronto.

No!

Yeah. Well, I guess lots of things are filmed there,

but not everything.

When I first went to Toronto, I was surprised, uh,

when I really thought about it.

Everybody has a toilet in their house.

And it just-- I thought,

"What a... what a thing to have."

Yeah. You can shit in your own house.

Yeah.

When did, uh... When did Pete move to Toronto?

Uh, he was 11,

and, uh, he was on a school trip.

And we met up, and, uh, he told his teacher:

I'm staying with my dad now.

So, I called his, uh, his-- his grandmother Eliza,

and, uh, we talked,

and she said it was okay if, uh, Pete stayed with me,

but I had to bring him back before she died.

- And he did make it back. - Seth: That's sweet.

Yeah. That's right. That's right.

- Can you grab that? - Okay.

Pete: Keep it there.

Just wait. Sh, sh. Wait. Wait.

You hear that?

Just wait.

You hear that?

Wait, wait.

Voice on TV: Tracker. Tracker.

Woman on radio: More than 30 percent

of incarcerated people in Canadian prisons

are First Nations, despite First Nations making up

just five percent of the country's population,

according to new statistics released by a federal watchdog.

In a damning report published on Wednesday,

the Correctional Investigator of Canada, Dr. Ivan Zinger,

described First Nations' overrepresentation

in the country's jails and prisons

as nothing short of a national travesty.

Multiple factors that include poverty

and racism in policing

contribute to the imbalance in convictions.

The figure is highest

in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and--

Man on TV: This behemoth-ic beast...

Pete: Someone's at the door.

Answer the door.

Man on TV: ...and astronomical appetite.

Hi. Pete home?

Hey, Pete.

Got any, uh-- you got any green paint I can borrow?

Okay. Let me see if I got that here.

- Oh, hi. - Hey.

You RCMP?

No, uh, I'm not RCMP.

Oh, no. That's my brother.

Oh, yeah. You didn't know I had a white brother?

I guess you never met our dad

when he lived and worked here.

Yeah. Last time our dad visited,

he was at the store.

Seth: And?

Pete: And somebody thought he was the priest.

Oh. Hello.

Oh, Father. Oh, Father, for I have sinned.

I've had impure thoughts.

Hey, that's not the priest. That's my dad.

Okay. We need to stack those like that.

Oh, hey. That looks good.

Frickin' frick. Frickin' frick.

See that little trophy walking over there?

He's upset because his dad died.

Frickin'. Frickin' frick.

Frickin'.

Frickin' frick.

Frickin' frick.

Frickin' frick!

Frickin' frick!

Frickin' frick!

Frickin' frick!

Frickin' frick!

Frickin' frick!

What?

What?

What was that?

Hello. We got shots fired down here...

Doo-doo two. We got shots fired down here.

I repeat, shots fired.

Calling for backup.

I repeat, calling for backup.

Shots fired.

Shots fired at officer.

Listen here, you pecker weasel.

This is the RCMP.

Drop your gun.

Drop it.

Lie down.

Face down now.

Slowly. Slowly.

Too slow. Come on now.

Put your hands out,

away from your body where I can--

Keep them-- Keep them where I can see them now.

Woman on radio: Delta one five.

Put your hands behind your back.

Not so smart now, are you?

Shooting at a cop. What were you thinking?

- That fucking hurts, man. - Who do you think you are,

- shooting at police officers? - Really fucking hurts.

I didn't do anything.

Just taking a walk, bro.

- Fuck you, man. - Fuck you, man.

What the fuck is your problem?

I didn't do nothing.

Urn: I didn't do nothing.

So, you can go to jail for 15 years

or plead guilty and only go for three.

So, you can go to jail for 15 years...

...or plead guilty...

...and only go for three.

If you want to plead innocent,

you'll have to wait in jail until your trail date,

which would be at least one year from now,

and then you still may go to jail for 15 years

if you're found guilty.

What if I didn't do anything?

Can I just go home, then? I'd like to go home.

Listen. You want to go to jail for 15 years or three years?

Your Honour, the accused wants to plead guilty

towards a lesser charge.

The court has found you guilty.

And you are sentenced to three years

at Stony Mountain Penitentiary.

You will be eligible for parole

in 1.5 years.

May God have mercy upon your soul.

Do you know what BS stands for?

Beaver shit.

So, that kid pleaded guilty.

He went right off to Stony Mountain, three years,

and that kid never been in jail in his life.

And then since then, it's been...

like, the last 20 years,

been going back and forth,

back and forth, jail, back to jail,

out again, back to jail.

Damn. That fucking sucks.

Man on TV: Welcome back to Canada's

favourite show,

Who Doesn't Want To Be Poor?

Well, time's up.

What's it going to be?

Um...

Maybe I'll just use my credit card?

Woman on radio: Drinking water advisories

persist in First Nations throughout Canada.

Currently, more than 56 communities

go without clean drinking water.

What's this? They talking about American--

What is this, American news?

Uh, no, no, no.

This is, uh, uh, Canadian.

The guy said it was, uh, Canadian.

Oh.

It's still worse down there, though.

Still worse down there.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Way worse down there.

Way worse down there.

Oh, there goes my little sis.

Check out this, uh, little vid I made for, uh, Jess

after she, uh-- after she, uh, took her life and passed on.

Ah, rest in peace, my late sweet daughter Jessica.

RIP, my little sis. That's what you've been up to.

That's what you wanted.

Riding the clouds with her motorbike.

I, uh, heard she was saving up for a motorcycle

before she, uh, passed on.

Yeah. Jessica always talked

about getting a bike of her-- of her own.

I wonder if Jessica would have been

one of those crazy 401 motorcycle drivers,

you know, weaving in and out of traffic.

I think-- I think-- I think they totally would.

Uh, they definitely--

they definitely seemed like the type to get--

get kind of lost in the moment and kind of enjoy the...

enjoy the ride.

Yeah. That's so sweet.

Okay. Someone nail those boards around the outside.

Okay.

You gonna be in trouble if you don't fix that toilet?

Well, it's impossible to fix it today,

'cause, um, the dentist has patients.

Yeah. Well, then...

How am I going to do it?

Probably have to go on the weekend

or, uh, go in the evening.

Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah.

That makes sense.

It would have made more sense if they would have sent me

the toilet I requested.

- Yeah. What the hell? - Like, I wrote a--

Well, it's like that thing, trying to get a picture

with my, uh-- for my ID,

like I explained to the people

in Miramichi, New Brunswick, where it comes from.

Holy cripe.

If I want to get-- if I want to get photo ID,

I have to fly to Thompson,

go to a place where you get photo-- photo ID,

pay for a room to stay.

- Yeah. - Come back next day.

Holy. It's like a--

Really? They just don't do it here?

Well, there was nothing, uh, available for printing.

- That's crazy. - Everybody's got cameras.

- Millions of pictures. - Yeah.

But nobody can print out, uh,

like, a, you know, wallet-sized, uh, photo ID.

There's a guy in Toronto that-- that Photoshops the pictures.

Like, he just can't help himself.

You're supposed to take a picture

and then not-- not alter it in any way

for the-- for the passport photos.

There's this one guy on Spadina that's just, like--

He just can't help himself.

He always has to, like, Photoshop it a little bit,

like, make your cheeks a little rosy.

- Pete: Yeah. - Seth: Like, get rid of a zit

or something.

Pete: Well, like, with identification photos,

um, you can't wear a hat. You can't wear glasses.

- Seth: And no smiling. - Pete: No makeup.

No smiling.

I went to get my student ID one time when I was going

to high school, like, for,

- a, like, the TTC pass. - Yeah.

- Well, I-- I had you with me. - Seth: Oh, really?

Pete: And I said, uh,

"I want my little brother in the picture."

- And they said no. - Seth: Oh.

I said, "Well, what do you want me to do,

put him down over there, like, on the floor?"

There was only one guy there, and I said, "Look.

I'm just going to hold him.

They're going to know who the picture is for."

- I said, "It's-- it's me." - Seth: Yeah.

Pete: I said, "He's not old enough to go to school yet."

Then they wouldn't, uh, let you have--

- Seth: Oh, too bad. - Pete: They wouldn't let you

in on the picture.

Actually, I took you to school one time.

I was pushing you to school,

and, uh, all the girls come running.

- Ah! - So cute!

Pete: They said, uh, "Whose baby?"

And I said, "I found him in the subway,

so I just brought him with me.

Um, I'm going to keep him."

And they tackled me, and they tackled you.

There was, like, three girls.

Like, one of-- one of them had you already,

and the other one started pulling, saying, "No!

I want him! I want him! I'm going to look after him."

And finally, I had to shove them all out of there saying,

"I'm just--" I said, "I was just kidding.

That's my little brother."

And they said, "Yeah, but you're-- you're an Indian.

How come he's blond hair and blue eyes and white skin?

You're lying."

That's good.

Well, another time, there was two young guys got sent in.

They got a call at the other end of town,

like, in what they call Little Russia.

And they get to the call they were supposed to go on,

and they see this blood all over the snow.

Oh-ho. Hey. Hey, now.

What do we got here?

Okay. What do we got? Hmm.

Blood!

Stay calm, now. Stay calm.

It's just blood. It's just blood.

It's just a little blood.

What the--

What the...

What the what?

Oh, no! Oh, Bill!

I'm cool. I'm cool. I'm cool.

I'm a cool guy. I'm a cool guy.

I'm cool. It's cool. It's cool. It's cool. It's cool.

It's cool. It's cool.

You keep cool? You keep cool? You all right? You got it?

Okay, guy.

You with me? You ready?

You remember? We got to...

We go on four, on three.

You with me now?

Just get the door.

I'm going to get the doorknob.

Doorknob.

Freeze, motherf...

And there's a little old lady sitting in there,

cutting up a caribou.

Fuck!

After, uh, they die, all of a sudden,

they-- there's a tremendous amount of, like,

fast gas buildup in their stomach.

- Yeah. - It's just gets really taut,

you know.

And you have to be careful when you cut it,

so you don't cut into the... the stomach.

So, it's just the outside fur and then the body lining,

like, the stomach lining on the outside of the stomach.

But anyway.

And when I was a little kid,

my granny used to, um, take the stomach out

and um, empty half the contents out

and get a cup,

pour the blood in there.

Then she... she would throw sugar in it.

And then they would shake it back and forth,

mix up the blood and the... the green stuff

that's in the stomach.

And my granny would hang it, hang it up--

hang it above the woodstove and just let it dry

until it all went, you know, basically dehydrated.

They used to call it seewatte,

which means, uh, sweet stomach.

And that was the candy.

That was our candy.

So, my first candy was green and kind of smelly

and kind of tasted awful.

I wonder what those dogs are barking at.

Hey, shut up, stupid!

Didn't you have a dog named Stupid?

Uh, think one of the wolves--

I think a wolf grabbed it.

The only thing I found was his pelvis bone

and the very tip of his tail.

It was about four inches long.

Whoa.

We lost six dogs in one week

at that time when that wolf was around.

Wow.

Yeah. They don't bother people, though. They--

Hey, look.

Peanut butter.

Crunchy or smooth?

Yeah. You ever-- you ever hear about, uh, pure collectors

from old England? They had these, uh--

Like, in Victorian times, I guess they--

these guys would go around collecting, uh, dog shit,

which they called, uh, pure.

I guess it had some kind of purifying quality

for, uh, tanning hides.

They're collecting it, and the valuable stuff, like,

the prize-- the prize turds

were, um, those like kind of dried-out white ones

that you see around.

So, uh, when they would find wet, darker turds,

there was a trick that they had where they would, uh,

you know, find loose mortar in an old building

and kind of, like, scrape it into their bucket

and kind of make them dry and white-looking

so that they could get a better dollar

for their-- their bucket of turds at the tanner.

Simone: Uh, seven months later...

- Pure collection? - Yeah. Uh, yeah.

Pure collection is an actual historical job,

believe it or not.

Is this what you were working on with the money we gave you?

Oh, yeah. About that, I might need to ask you

for a deadline extension.

Go out.

- What's this? - Uh, it's a map

of the story arc for the movie.

Whoa! Is this your guide for making the movie?

Yeah. Actually, sometimes,

I'm not sure if it's following me

or if I'm following it.

It's true.

Um, how's drawing going? You getting any drawing done?

I wanted to talk to you about that, yeah,

but it's this-- this one thing.

- What one thing? - I feel like--

Feels like I can't draw anymore.

Seth: Well, don't

psych yourself out. Everyone has that happen.

Even, like, you know, Leonardo da Vinci

- probably had that happen. - Cookie: Yeah.

Seth: You work your way through it,

and then you come out the other side.

Oh, my dad's home.

Seth: Oh, sweet. I want to talk to him.

Well, don't psych yourself out. Just keep drawing.

That's the trick. All right. You're awesome, Cookie.

- Hello? - Seth: Hey, Pete.

Hey. How's it going?

It's going good, man.

I was-- I was going to phone you this morning.

Oh, nice. Oh, hey, I got to come back up

and record more audio for the animation.

Yeah.

The stuff I recorded last time is all messed up,

and everyone keeps interrupting each other.

Anyhow--

Okay. Okay. That's cool. You want to come up?

Seth: Yeah.

Uh, awesome. Okay. Well, I'll, uh--

I guess I'll be seeing you soon, then.

Sure is nice to see you kids

learning how to build stuff.

You know, I spent a lot of time being a carpenter.

Uh, can you not take pictures

inside the sacred teepee zone?

Oh, fuck. I should have asked first, man.

Oh, fuck. I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry. I should have asked your permission first

before taking any pictures,

and I'm really sorry.

I'm-- I'm fucking stupid.

Just joking.

You can take pictures in here.

I was just kidding.

Oh.

But it is always a good idea to ask first

before you take any pictures.

Oh, my head. What the--

Something's stuck on my hat here.

Oh, come on off.

Come on off!

Just ignore him and go back to sleep, Boris...

my son.

Oh, hey. It's that show.

What most people don't realize...

is that this animal...

...doesn't only have...

...big feet.

You got to make sure...

the plaster mixture...

isn't too runny...

and it isn't too firm.

Like I said, they don't only have big feet.

Whoa-ho-ho! Hey!

Those are some big buns.

My brother-in-law, uh, Loren,

uh, built a cabin about 10 miles downriver.

So, when he was done, uh, this couple,

this elderly couple, uh, heard about it.

So, they went and told him that, uh--

to be careful in that area

because at one time there were some trappers that went missing,

some people that were, uh, trapping beaver.

And other people had been trapping in the area

kept on talking about, uh, finding beaver dams

that were, like, ripped up

like something came and ripped them apart.

There was a couple guys that were trapping over there,

uh, went missing,

so people went looking for them.

They-- they found them,

and they were hanging out with this, uh, female sasquatch.

And they couldn't figure out why those two guys

were just hanging around with her.

They weren't-- They looked like they weren't trying

to get away.

And once in a while, that-- that thing

would grab them and tickle them.

So, when they found them,

they realized that-- that their eyes were missing.

Fuck.

Pete: That thing had plucked out their eyes.

So, that was the reason why they couldn't, uh...

they couldn't go anywhere, because they were blind.

- They had no eyeballs. - Jesus.

Years ago, when I was chief,

I-- I was at a meeting in Winnipeg,

and I see the newspaper.

And I'm reading it, there's, like, this land rush.

And I said, "How come nobody ever told us?"

- Fuck. - We're out in Shamattawa,

and the supposed leadership

didn't even know anything about it.

Yeah, well, that doesn't surprise me.

Ah, those assholes.

Uh, what's that? What's that, man?

Oh, just, uh, just a second.

I'm just talking to my son right now.

If you need anything, though, then just let me know,

and, uh, we have those penis piercings

in different sizes.

Oh, great. Yeah. Thanks, man.

So, all the area's, like, staked out.

Like, all of Gods River right to Gods Lake

is all somebody's, uh, mineral exploration area.

Like, there was, like, a big, uh, diamond rush, and then, uh--

Diamonds may be pretty,

but I'm hot.

They found some other-- They found some other stuff,

but, uh, some places were--

weren't feasible to try to extract.

Oh, yeah.

And I think we still have

a lot of, uh, unclaimed, uh, like, land settlement.

We never finished with it.

We never-- we never, um--

But the government gave us a choice. They're saying,

"This week, you got to sign.

We have to get it over and done with.

After-- after this week, you're on your own.

You can pay for your own lawyers if you want to--

trying to have land claims over here,

like, having a big, uh, like, a reserve."

Right now, it's only two miles by one mile.

- What? - Yep.

That's how big Shamattawa Reserve is.

Oh, those assholes. Man, it's just normal.

They're just trying to stampede you into signing.

It's so typical.

They just drew a line around your houses

in the middle of your land.

Your land goes a long way in every direction,

and they know it.

Yeah, and back then,

whoever, um, uh, decided that,

to claim only one mile by two mile--

And they were still told, saying,

"No. You can't have it any bigger.

This is, like, as much as you can have."

Yeah. Unfortunately, uh, that doesn't surprise me.

I'm saying, "Hey, uh, your family used to trap where?"

Like, they'd say, "Oh, yeah, way out there by Hudson Bay."

I said, "How many miles is that?"

They're like, "Sixty miles."

I said, "Well, why are we going to be stuck

in a little two-mile-by-one mile?"

That's so rude.

I said, "After that, we've lost, uh--

we lost any rights outside the reserve."

We have to do something, or something happens,

trying to, um--

Like, now, they're trying to flood the--

This is the largest undammed river left in Manitoba,

Gods River.

Every other large river's been dammed up,

and Hydro's trying to involve Shamattawa.

And we'll never benefit from it.

Whoa. Good one.

If they built a dam, would that affect the fishing?

Uh, yep. It'll screw up the fishing.

Damn. Is it Monday already?

Oh, God.

But they came up with, uh, um...

Hydro was trying to involve everybody to come to meetings,

and they were paying people.

Some people got as much as, like, 80 bucks

to go to a meeting, and there were door prizes.

What was the door prize?

Oh, a freezer pack, like, a box of-- a box of frozen meat

that they-- they got, like, at the Northern Store,

something like that.

Yeah, and then all of a sudden, I-- I found out

I was in, uh, the sturgeon-- sturgeon committee,

sturgeon preservation committee.

I had no idea I was in the committee,

and I was getting paid for it.

Well, Pete, if you're on the sturgeon committee,

if they build a dam,

there won't be any more sturgeon.

Well, like I said before,

you can pick your nose,

but you can't eat diamonds.

Hey, do you need any sound effects for this movie?

I can do some sound effects for you if you want.

It could be like-- like--

All right. Uh...

Pete: Next time the cops chase you,

don't jump in the water.

Pete: "Fuck that. I'm never going swimming again,

after I seen that in the water. I'm never going back."

Yeah. Maybe we could use some of those somewhere.

Pete: I don't think she's gone back in the water

- ever since then. - Oh, that's crazy.

Well, I wonder what the hell that was.

Hey, Stew. Is that Pete on the phone?

Is he telling you about Antonio's dream?

One second, Pat. Pete's talking in my other ear.

Holy doodle. He told me about this dream,

and this plane had antlers.

It was totally made of antlers,

and it crashed.

Yeah? Amazing.

Well, I wonder what that was.

Well, that sort of reminds me of something that happened

back, uh, a few years ago on Wunnummin Lake.

So, um, I was going fishing

and, uh, drove out onto the lake,

and I was heading west.

Uh, sorry. Heading east,

and, uh, then...

- Oh, hey! - What the-- What? Hey!

Watch it, man.

Whoops. Sorry.

Yeah. So, um, driving the boat in the lake,

and, uh, I felt this something

on my cheek, on my cheek.

And it was the same as when I was in the air force

and there was a plane breaking the sound barrier.

It's that pressure you feel just before you hear the noise,

and I whipped my head around.

Hmm? Whoa!

Stewart: There was this hole traveling through the air

with scenery on the other side of it

that was-- looked like a scenery from a desert.

It was these angular, sort of cactus-like trees,

and the thing just whipped by and just kept going east.

- Very odd. - Pete: Huh.

Uh, sorry, Pete. I got to hang up.

Uh, somebody's staring at me.

I got to sell somebody something. Bye now.

- Hey, man. - Stewart: Oh, sorry. Yeah.

I was just talking to my, uh, my son, my older son.

My younger son Seth's visiting him. He's, uh--

Wait. You saw a porthole to another dimension?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, and it wasn't the only time.

Yeah. According to a lot of people,

they said that Stewart was the first person to, uh--

first white person to come back and visit his kid.

Damn. That's kind of fucked.

Machine: Damn. That's kind of fucked.

Damn. That's-- Damn.

That's fucked. Damn. That's fucked.

What the what? Damn. What the what?

You know that, uh, trap we set upriver, that square one?

Yeah?

Okay. That's the kind I was using,

and um, I had that all set up.

And...

Um, I was getting ready to go back towards my Ski-Doo,

and I saw that the bait wasn't on properly

and had fallen off.

So I went to put bait on, and the thing slipped.

Simone: Hey. That's my balloon.

Pete: And then it just slowly sunk into my hand,

and you couldn't even see the steel.

It went down here, and it was squishing it like this.

And then I'm trying to break the stick,

and every time I made a move,

that trap just got tighter and tighter.

It was just sinking in deeper and deeper.

And all of a sudden,

I'm getting, like, really cold,

'cause the wind's blowing and I didn't have my parka on.

Then I hear a Ski-Doo coming.

Oh, shit. I wonder if that's Rusty.

Hey, Seth. Take a picture of this.

I got a puppy on my head.

Okay. Hold it there.

Hold it there, Simone.

All right. Hold it. Hold it.

Okay. Yeah.

Okay. Got it.

Hello?

Uh-huh.

Garbage bags.

Garbage bags?

Ah.

Boy, she thinks I have all the time in the world.

She wants me to go get oranges and garbage bags for her

at the store.

Oh, you're going to the store?

Hey, little buddy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

You little cutie. Hey.

Whoa, Simone.

How many dogs you guys got?

Uh, wait.

Boris, Cheech, Chong, Milk Jug,

Chappy, Sheldon, Langfur,

Ugly, and Nutty.

And... am I missing one?

Boris, Chappy, Cheech,

Chong, Nutty, Langfur,

Sheldon, Ugly, and...

I forgot two dogs.

Coconut and Dooney.

And what about the puppies under the steps?

Yeah. Like, uh, yeah. Shit.

Or, like, when I go in the washroom,

and all the women look at me,

and then these women look at me as I enter like I--

like I'm a guy, like they're thinking--

I don't know. I just gotta take a fucking shit, bitch.

Hey, look. There's my dad.

That's our dad. Okay, Ada, settle down.

That's not your only dad.

Hey, look, there's Ada and Dez!

Dad! Dad!

Hey, Dad. Who's your favourite kid?

So, what should we get? Some Bepsi, Depsi, Poopsie,

Toki, Jokie, Diet Croke? Which one?

Bepsi?

Hey, mayochap,

that's what my mother-in-law used to call me.

What is mayochap mean?

Shitty face.

Oh.

It's like, shit on your face sort of, but...

Mayochap.

Means shitty face, like, yeah.

You didn't know?

No.

Now you know.

Oh, we need one of those big boxes there. Can you grab that?

Yeah, I can grab this.

Whoops.

Pwêkitostaw.

What's that?

"Pwêkitow" means fart.

Pwêkitow.

"Pwêkitow" means fart.

And "Pwêkitostaw" means, you know,

"farting while you're doing something," you know?

Like when you're lifting something that's heavy and you--

Pwêkitostaw. Pwêkitostaw.

Pwêkitostaw.

"Six pack. Toronto tap water."

What do you, uh...

Do you ever miss anything about Toronto?

Uh, goat rotis.

What's that-- What was the name of that--

Patty King.

Patty King, yeah. Yeah.

Goat rotis from Patty King and George.

Always a big smile.

All the whole family was like that.

They were all very nice.

Yeah, they're cool.

Yeah, it's funny, it was just one year.

It was a whole bunch of us that just left.

We just all went in different directions.

So, everybody that left did good,

they went on doing things that they wanted to do.

Once or twice a year I'd get a call

from my family saying that, uh, "Remember so-and-so,

one of your drinking buddies,

they found him dead this morning."

Yeah.

And that would probably would have been me

if I never left.

I remember one time I went through, uh, my tequila phase,

and then all of a sudden one day I realized

that it was making me more unstable,

then I started to realize, um,

all the trouble I got into

or the grief I caused to something like that,

it was if I was drinking something really strong.

And if there was something about you I didn't like

or it was almost like a snap.

Sometimes even, like, over nothing.

Seth: Uh-huh.

Pete: I would, like, just start turning red

and steam coming out of my ears just, uh...

It was just weird.

It was just-- Like there was--

there was a guarantee I was going to try to kill you

when I got really smashed.

Oh, yeah. I kind of remember you telling me

about some of those misadventures.

You went back to our old house that

we weren't living in anymore and broke in.

I don't remember.

Pete: Apparently, I uh... I think I used my bus pass

to open the door or something.

Like, put it in, jiggle it in where the deadbolt was,

and then it opened.

Seth: And then the dog ate the little kid that

lived there's birthday cake.

Pete: Oh, yeah. All his birthday cake.

I have no memory of it at all.

Seth: What-- Didn't you grab, like, a guy out of--

that was in your old bed or something?

Pete: There was some guy sleeping in my bed.

Apparently I dragged him out of there.

"Get off my bed."

And my dog was with me

and my dog was keeping everybody away.

Keeping everybody out of the room.

Seth: While you were sleeping.

You know what was one of the nice things about that,

uh, that story where you went back to our old house?

Was that they didn't call the police.

That they just called Stewart, which is, like, nice.

Pete: Yeah, that was embarrassing.

Holy shit! He did what?

Son of a... I'll be right over.

But it's like, better than, you know, the police like,

arresting you or something, you know?

You kidding? I'd rather the police.

Ah, you'd be surprised. There's still a couple

stragglers kicking around Toronto that remember you.

♪ talk is cheap, and so are you... ♪

♪ Go get screwed! ♪

Seth: Also, I remember another thing,

every time you'd get really,

really drunk, you'd go, you know,

"I really love you, man,

but I fucking hate white people."

You remember Peter from Courage?

Yeah, I just-- Which Peter?

Peter East from Courage, My Love.

Uh...

He's been gone for fucking, like, 20 years.

Yeah, but I thought the other Peter just went by.

Peter from, uh, Peterborough. What a freak that guy is.

Yeah, Peter from Peterborough.

Yeah, Pizza Pizza Pizza used to have this special where say

if it's not delivered to your house in 30 minutes it's free,

so every payday we used to order pizza from there.

Like, a large pizza with everything on it.

Yeah, one of my roommates, that's what he--

he worked at a pizza place, and he says,

"No way it's gonna cook in half an hour,"

but we always waited till payday

so in case it came we had the money.

Oh, hello. Um, I'd like to order an extra large pizza.

Yeah, with everything on it.

Hey, Tony...

Extra sauce and anchovies.

Okay, what's the address?

That's-- So, uh, that's 30 minutes or it's free?

Yeah, always.

Okay, my clock says it's-- it's 20 after 9:00.

Looks like free o'clock.

You're seven minutes late.

Free pizza. Thank you.

Too long.

Tell me, Seth, why is this pizza scene going on so long?

Uh, well, you know, it's strange because Pizza Pizza Pizza's

kind of like a cultural thing for people that lived

in Toronto during the '80s and '90s.

Oh, cultural. Interesting.

Yeah, terrible pizza, but kind of thrilling to gamble

to see if you get it for free or not.

Pete: What?

It was a pizza crust with a pile of hamburger on it.

Well, 30 minutes or free, you got a free one.

I love that story.

I remember thinking that was the coolest thing I ever heard

when you told me that when I was a little kid.

I was like, "That's the coolest thing I ever heard."

Hey, guys. I'm gonna get these chicken burgers.

You guys are talking so long. Can we go now? I'm starving.

Back in the day we used to trade hash for chickens

from the chicken truck driver.

Rats? Fucking' A, man.

Hey, Sal.

Hey, Pete. How's it going, man?

Hey, c'est lui! C'est lui!

Hey.

Hey, habibi!

Help yourself to chicken. This is a good trade.

Hey, what're you doing with those chickens?

I hope it's not what I would do with those chickens.

Pete: I didn't really know what to do with them at first,

so then we, uh, we processed them ourselves,

and we had 'em hanging in the bathtub.

The neighbour upstairs, we forgot to tell her

that we had chickens in the bathtub.

And she came down to shower and...

There was blood all over the bathtub.

Speaking of chickens, uh, can I get these chicken burgers

and also can we go soon? You guys are taking forever.

Years ago I saw one of Cece's friends, uh,

climbed up onto the top of one of those live chicken trucks.

Good morning, beautiful ladies.

And that's how I discovered the chicken of the woods.

What's this guy up to?

Hey, tabarnak!

You might ask yourself what the 'morel' of this story is,

and I'd say his nose was less of a morel

and more of an amanita, and don't forget to

count your chickens before they're snatched.

Hey, so how's Cece doing?

How's Cece doing? She's doing good.

She's basically just running the shop and picking clothes.

Still finding some pretty good stuff actually.

Driving lots, fighting clowns,

and helping put out the odd neighbourhood fire.

The firemen weren't there, so she got a fire extinguisher

and ran in the house and started like...

And then she had this thing where she was like...

I never realized it till right now

that I've always wanted to be a fireman.

Ah.

Out of the way, fuckers.

Yo, Cece! Speak of the devil.

Hey, Cec. Wow, it's been a long time.

Been a long time no see, holy.

Long time no Cece.

Long time no see Cece.

I gotta go to the store. What're you guys doing?

Uh, yeah, we're just time travelling back to

the '80s and '90s and telling chicken stories.

Oh, yeah, back in the '90s when I used to look like this?

And Seth was a sideways sandwich?

You were a sideways sandwich?

Yes. Well, people used to think I was.

It's probably actually why I grew a mustache.

- What? Sideways sandwich? - Cece: Idiot.

- I don't remember that. - Too late now.

Man: Hey, lady! Move your van! Move your van!

All right, I'm going. Fuck off already!

You fuck off already, lady!

Okay, see you later, freaks!

- Okay, Cece. See you later. - All right. See you later, Cec.

Um, what do you think of the future?

What do I think of the future?

Like, what do you mean?

I don't know, like, what do you think the future holds?

Mm, I'm not quite sure about that.

I don't know, in the future,

I hope that Shamattawa gets a little...

a little better, a little healthier.

Yeah. Basically what I wish.

What I wish the future holds.

What about your future? What do you want to do?

Like...

Mm, like, I wanna-- wanna, like, accomplish these little things

in life that people are supposed to do.

Like, I want to get a job, and I want to get a house,

or at least somewhere to live.

But I don't want it to be here.

Yeah, I just want to work and be happy.

Just, like, a little, tiny, normal life.

When are those guys getting back from the store?

They're taking forever.

Okay, I'm going for lunch, pick a winner, Cece.

You beautiful, sweet, little nail.

Please go in smoothly.

Not like that other stupid nail.

Oh, my God, I found a Pucci!

Oh, my God, I love it!

Oh, my God, the Pucci fits you perfectly.

I can't believe you found that so quick.

I know, I found it so quick. Yeah!

I'm going to take it.

- Oh. - What's this?

Oh, that's the caribou hide that my brother Pete mailed us.

It's beautiful.

Yeah, isn't it nice?

Ah, see, let's see. Which button is it?

Uh, let's try this one.

Thank you so much. Bye, Cece.

All right, see you later. Thanks.

Finally we're leaving.

Hey, look, it's Ada and Dez!

Dad!

Oh, hey. There's Mom. Hi, Mom.

Hi, my babies. Ada, my baby.

Mom, how about me?

Oh, Dez baby. My old baby.

You ate yesterday already!

All right, Mom. I'll see you later.

Bye-bye, my babies. I love you.

All right, see you later, Mom. Love you.

Uh, I nailed a bunch of boards at the bottom

so that they don't fall over.

Oh, hey. That looks good.

Yeah, it looks great, Simone.

Well, Pete found this huge tarp at the dump.

Uh, yeah?

Yeah, that was, like, just leftover stuff that

they had used to, uh, uh...

it was for the, uh, soil remediation,

so that was the underlay.

Sweet score.

Hey, where are those guys going?

Kids: Let's smoke this motherfucking weed!

I think I know where they're going.

Yeah, I don't want to encourage them to smoke weed,

but it's better than sniffing lacquer or...

Yeah, that's not good for you.

...and other more dangerous habits.

Yeah.

Yeah, those small toothpicks

are really expensive here.

It's just crazy.

It's, like, $20 to buy them.

Fucking Ada, move your fucking cheek, man.

Fucking move! Fuck sakes.

Shut the fuck up bannock ass!

Aw, Ada, you dumb bitch.

Now we get to smoke my motherfucking weed.

Oh, finally some weed.

- Let's go, bitch. - I want to smoke this shit.

The fuck is that?

Sounds like somebody's dragging a bunch of cans.

Jesus fuck.

Hey, did you see this? Did you see this video?

Who? Who? Who?

- This-- - Fuck. Oh, my God. Okay.

Oh, yeah. Like, um--

- Caribou. - Um...

Machine: Caribou. Caribou.

It's almost like they know us.

Like, we wait for them here.

And it's-- And it's we miss them when they're not around.

We expect them to be around, and, uh, they're really--

they're really nice to watch, they're really neat to watch.

Like, they don't know people, so, when you-- when you hang

around with them for a while, like, if you--

if a whole bunch of them go by and you stand still

and you don't move and you stand there for, like, about a minute,

then all of a sudden they just go,

"Okay, he's, like, one of us," or something like that,

and they just go about their business, and--

Until they hear that loud bang.

Your gun.

Yeah, and they taste pretty good.

This time of year they taste-- the flavour starts to change.

It's not so gamey.

Like, when all the green stuff goes away in the fall,

the flavour becomes lighter, more tastier.

I remember you just reminded me of being here

and you were cooking moose

and your mom was here, and she was like...

Game: A.D. 2121.

What were you saying?

I used to-- I used to hear, um,

elders talking about it when I first came back to Shamattawa.

They couldn't wait to go out in the bush,

like, go in their boat.

They were really looking forward to it,

just, uh, clearing their minds,

clearing their mind out.

Just... it does something to you when you go out in the bush.

And whatever stresses or worries you have,

there's no use doing that when you're up there,

'cause there's nothing you can do about it.

So, you learn to relax

and uh, get the stress out of your mind.

Which is great, and it's, you know,

you're energized all over. Just...

You come back more positive. Yeah.

Yeah.

And that's what I like about being here.

You don't have-- There's no use worrying about--

What do you worry about? 'Cause there's nothing you can

do about it from out there.

Seth: Is that a bear sitting on a couch?

Pete: We set up the couch.

Like, I threw a couch out, and next day when I drove by

there's a bear sitting there.

And it looked like he was just, you know,

taking a-- taking a break, putting his feet up,

'cause it's--

Seth: Uh, yeah, this photo should win

the National Geographic award.

Pete: It was just a neat shot.

It was very--

- Seth: It's so nice. - Pete:

Oh, yeah, there's that-- that mud cake Simone made

for Sterling's birthday.

Simone: Oh, yeah. I made it for Sterling.

Pete: Decorated with flowers. And it looks--

Cookie: I had a slice of that. Just kidding.

Aw, there's Chong.

Seth: And there's Antonio with a whole bunch of puppies.

Cookie: Oh, there's my dog Nutty!

Pete: Oh, there's Simone. Pete: There's her missing tooth.

Simone: Oh, yeah, that's me. Seth: Hey, there's Sylvester,

buck naked in the dark with a knife in his hand.

Cookie: Oh, my God.

Seth: Aw, there's Pete and Lillian

and then Jeep and Antonio and Dez there.

Ah, there's your neighbour, Wayne.

- Seth: Oh, there's Chris. - Pete: There's Chris' tipi.

Cookie: Oh, that's Chris.

- Cookie: Oh, I remember that. - Seth: It was the first time

Cookie went on an escalator.

Cookie: Oh, my gosh. I remember that.

Seth: Simone recording a little puppy.

Cookie: Oh, my God.

Seth: There's Stewart.

Seth: There's our dad wearing three watches.

Hey, there's Stewart and Pat and, uh,

and you, Pete, at the old shop there.

There's Cece.

- There's Granny and Chris. - Cookie: My Granny!

Seth: Chopping up some fish.

Hey, there's little Ada and Naz there.

Hey, this one's nice. Almost everyone's in this pic.

Christian, Simone, Cookie.

Little Sterling, Dez, Pete,

Antonio and then me in the front there.

There's a dog biting me.

Cookie: Oh my God.

Seth: Heck? Hey.

- Cookie: His face is... - Seth: What? There's a little--

Cookie: Oh my God. Is that me? - Seth: That's you.

Oh, my God. That's li'l me. Seth: That's Cookie.

Cookie: Oh, my God. I remember that kid.

Seth: There's me as a teenager with baby Antonio.

Anyway, that looks good.

There's Koko eating daifuku with a little Racco.

There's Ada and Dez at their 420 apartment.

Simone: Oh, yeah.

Seth: There's little Simone pumping iron.

Cookie: Look, here's Pierrston Facetiming Racco.

Simone: Aww, that's cute.

Cookie: Here's Pierrston all smushed in his chair.

Simone: Aww. Oh, yeah.

Cookie: We, um-- we saw this big-ass crack

and I thought I could fit.

- Simone: Peace. - Pete: Peace.

Seth: Oh, there's Pete setting a trap.

Oh, yeah, okay. Back to that trap story.

All of a sudden I'm getting, like, really cold

because the wind's blowing and I didn't have my knife with me.

I couldn't-- I couldn't cut that stick to, um--

to release myself.

Then, I hear a Ski-Doo coming.

Hey, what's up?

I just had the craziest fucking dream.

Look.

Hey, there's Rusty.

Cookie: Oh, Rusty.

Seth: Showing off his tattoo he gave himself in jail.

Pete: Oh, there's Rusty with his owl friend.

Cookie: Oh, there's that owl.

Pete: Because of encephalitis,

he couldn't pronounce a lot of his words,

so he ended up sounding like Marlon Brando

when he was recovering.

So, he sounded like the Godfather for a while.

There's what's her name...

I forgot what year it was.

I was driving this old, old lady to her son's house.

And, uh...

We look up, this owl was circling.

And then I stuck my hand, put it out so he could land on it.

Soon as it landed...

So, it's, it's a surprising thing.

I tell the thing to leave, it won't leave.

So, I said, pull my skidoo, start it up.

I went to the Northern Store.

He's still on my arm,

I'm using, one, one hand on the steering wheel.

We stop at the store and he's still on there.

Walk through the aisles.

There's a whole bunch of people taking pictures of it.

That's right, we went to the manager's office there.

He took pictures of it too.

Then... I thought he was gonna flew off,

he never flew off and then I started my skidoo,

went to my late-brother's.

...and showed my mom. She's seen it too.

Cookie: Kohkum!

Number one Kohkum!

Pete: Then I drove which is about two miles

from my late brother's house.

It's still on my arm,

I'm using one hand on the steering wheel,

all the way home.

Who-- who...?

What the what?!

Who's that?

Pete: When I found them I said, let's go.

I said he won't leave me.

Hey, Racco, this part of the story is by

your Uncle Pete's brother Rusty Redhead.

He's not blood-related to you,

but we still call him 'uncle' or 'brother'.

And he was abducted when he was a kid.

And I heard he was at a store buying smokes for his grandma,

and the RCMP and a nurse

just put him on a plane and took him away

and brought him to a residential school,

where he stayed there and stayed away from his mom and grandma,

who had no idea where he went,

and he didn't return until he was 19.

And the Canadian government...

...did this all over Canada.

What's the matter?

I'll tell you--

I'll tell you about that--

I'll tell you about that another time.

Pete: And then my father and I said, let's go.

So, I gave him a little peck on the, on the beak.

And then, it wasn't listening, tap my arm.

Then it flew off.

And people say I have special, I have a special gift for that,

I don't know what they mean by that.

Holy moly, that's wild.

All right, Rusty, we heard you were

illegally keeping a wild animal as a pet in here.

No.

Do you have an owl inside the house?

Are you keeping an owl as a pet in here?

Are you illegally harbouring an owl

as a pet in your house right now?

I said no.

Rusty!

- Go fuck yourself. - Sorry. What'd you say?

- Oh. - Go fuck yourself.

All right, Rusty.

Simone: Hey, Cookie. That's my balloon.

Hey!

Hey, Cookie. That's my balloon.

Yeah, Cookie, give Simone her balloon back.

Holy moly.

Hey, let me tell you my dream before I forget.

Oh, yeah.

Antonio: I was looking around, it was like all foggy.

I can't see anything.

I could hear, like, these chanting,

like these Native people came outta nowhere.

Like the fog was started-- like, disappearing.

All of a sudden they're standing around me,

and they're, like, looking at me.

And they're all, like, real, real old.

I saw this old lady looking at me,

standing next to a-- it was like a tall guy.

And that's when I woke up

and I was like, "What the f...? What the fuck was that?

Wow.

Wow, it sounds like our ancestors

are trying to stay in touch with you.

We just turned the fridge off because we're recording,

just so you know, Antonio.

Antonio: All right.

Okay, so, what happened next in that trap story?

Pete: It was hurting, like really hurting a lot.

And I'm getting, like, really cold, 'cause the wind's blowing,

and I didn't have my parka on.

And I hear a Ski-Doo coming.

And I'm really-- I'm sitting there,

really embarrassed that I'm--

I caught myself in my own trap.

And I sat there fooling around with these twigs

and I was sticking them in the snow,

trying to look like I'm trapping.

I'm kind of covering the trap where my hand is.

I'm like, I don't want them to see me,

that I've trapped myself.

And whoever it was slowed down and, I guess, looked at me

and then kept going.

And then I was sitting there

for about half an hour and I'm starting to get really cold.

So, I couldn't press the one side and get the latch on,

the safety latch, to keep it closed.

And I didn't know what to do, so I thought, "Okay,"

so I pulled the string off my, uh, my sweatpants.

So, I tied it on the spring part

and I pulled it tight,

then I held it with my teeth, pulled it tight again.

And then, I leaned on it, like, with my knee

and pulled it even tighter,

then I held the string with my teeth,

and just kept pulling it.

And finally, I leaned on it

and I managed to wrap it around and tie it.

Then, on the other side, I just managed to--

I got a hold of the spring and I just squeezed it enough

to get my hand out of the trap.

And when I got my hand out of it,

you could see these indents right here

where it just, like, sunk into my skin till...

like, the skin on the sides were touching. It was like--

So, it was like that.

So...

I was really glad after I got that out.

Holy moly.

Uh, you know what, Seth?

I've been learning Russian for no reason.

What's this?

It's the Russian alphabet.

Seth: Oh, wow.

It's so neatly written.

Privet.

That means "hello" in Russian.

Seth: You ever think about learning Cree?

Simone: Oh, yeah.

Whoa. What's this drawing?

Simone: Oh, that's a drawing I made.

I called it a Mawler.

Seth: Oh, so cool.

What kind of noise would a thing like this make?

Oh, that's very nice.

Nice work, Simone.

What are you working on, little Cookie?

So, I'm not a little Cookie anymore.

I know, I always forget.

Yeah, this movie's taking you so long,

my voice has changed.

Oh, yeah, and Antonio and Avanis have a baby now,

little Pierrston.

It took you so long to make this movie.

You started this movie when I was ten, but now I'm 19.

So, anyway, I've been working on my own animation.

Check it out.

So, my friend decided to sleep over one night,

and it was just a normal night like anything else.

But I went into sleep paralysis

and every time I let him know that I was in sleep paralysis--

because, obviously, in sleep paralysis you can't move

or you can't speak, but you can only see.

Every time I'm in sleep paralysis,

it feels like-- like-- like someone's holding me down

or pushing my face.

So, I let him know that I was in sleep paralysis

by breathing harshly, like...

Or like, just making any kind of weird sounds with my throat.

And he kept waking me up.

I didn't know that he saw something

standing over my bed, looking down at us.

And he realized that, as it got bigger,

it was a smile and it was looking at us.

It was probably seven feet tall, just all black,

a black silhouette, and it had white eyes staring at us,

and it had a huge white smile looking down at us.

And I didn't know that until this morning

and he told me that because he didn't want to freak me out.

Simone: Well, that's a scary story, Cookie.

That's totally scary.

Pretty cool, too, though.

Ain't that the truth.

I didn't know you could speak Russian.

Da.

Why would I ever do that?

Oh.

Yeah, I--

I do not trust myself in front of a wheel in real life,

but in video games, I'm the best.

I can handle the wheel no problem.

The driving wheel?

The driving, yeah. Any vehicle.

So, you can drive...

I can drive the Ghost from Halo,

the Wraith, the Scorpion, any...

The Warthog from Halo Reach is my specialty.

- You never crashed? - Never crashed.

Really?

- Never. - That's surprising.

Never.

I can drive no problem in a video game,

but in real life, that's a different story.

Seth: Uh...

Thank you, juicy fat rat, for giving me your life.

I'm gonna use every part of you.

Seth: Sweet.

Thank you for giving us your life, you juicy, juicy fat rat.

Well, bon, bon appetit.

Yeah, I mean...

Yeah, not bad.

Mmm. Yeah, not bad at all.

I was hoping I could record, um,

you sing a song, or I was hoping I could record you

do a little drumming for that animation I've been working on.

- You're still working on that? - Yeah.

Even though it's after the end of the world?

Yeah, I got a deadline extension.

Cool.

Yeah, man, totally.

I know the perfect song for it, too.

I can sing the "Ancestor's Song"

Fand you know, this looks like a perfect spot for it, too,

because this river looks like it needs some healing.

Seth: Yeah.

And what is that thing in there?

Kringle: A shopping cart with a...

death-claw egg?

Does it usually glow and smell like that?

Not naturally. But you know what?

That smell reminds me

of that one time I threw a stink bomb

inside of my grandmother's room when I was little.

So, I hope she forgives me for that.

Oh, yeah, she'd totally forgive you for that.

She loved you.

Kringle: Yeah, I heard she would look for visions

in her cigarette smoke.

Supposedly, she visited me in the dream world

and told me to look after you while you were in Toronto.

And Pete was telling me that she was super proud

of her English in the dream.

Oh, not bad, not bad.

Okay, guys, dinner's ready. Astam.

Oh, I think they're all out of the teepee.

Pete: Hey, wow. Looks great.

Hey, wow. Looks like-- it looks like it's done.

We're finished. Now, we can hang out in it.

Yeah, we're done.

This guy said that our great-grandpa

built one exactly like this.

I found out my grandfather was one of those people

who ran the shaking tent.

They called it the...

It means like where you went

and sat and concentrated to have a vision.

They were able to pass messages on to another person

that was operating a shaking tent. It was, um...

It's like the way the internet works now.

You can turn it on, dial up somebody and talk to them.

But they used smoke to sort of look into it.

It's like a screen to see where all the animals would be,

you know, where they would go to go hunt.

And my grandfather mainly used it for hunting,

for providing food for his community, his family.

Dinner's ready, guys. Come on in.

Astam. It's caribou.

Perfect timing. I'm starving.

Eat this. It's good for you.

My kids never believe me when I say that.

"Eat this, it's good for you," and it's like...

they're really like backing away.

Like, come on, eat this. It's good for you.

It's caribou.

Caribou? Oh, yeah. I love caribou.

Ooh, caribou soup.

Ooh, this tastes so good. I missed this.

Yum. Caribou.

Mmm. Yum.

Yum. Caribou.

Mum-mum. Delicious.

Mmm... mum-mum.

Mmm... Caribou soup!

I'm trying to say something yummy...

...in Cree.

You say...

Yeah.

It means, "Meat tastes good."

Wait. Can you say it again?

Seth: Oh.

I don't think your sound's on.

I don't think your sound--

I don't think my sound was on.

Yeah, we noticed.

Oh!

Um, so what do you think of the future?

I like the idea of looking after family and friends

and sticking together and taking care of each other.

What Stuart said is very personal.

What I think of is looking in the past.

You can look in the past. You can look in the past,

even 10,000 years ago, and it can still help you.

The past is an endless...

An endless cookie?

Yeah, the past is an endless cookie.

Just like you, little Cookie.

Except for you're finite. What do you think, Pete?

Well, it's just like what Pat said.

This is something my late mom said

about Native people.

She was talking about her late father, who was,

I guess what you'd call a medicine man,

but they called those people...

That sort of means like 'medicine man'.

But one day, they stopped all that stuff.

And like, a lot of people said, like, that stuff died.

And then, my mom had said

that those things have just been put away for the time being.

But they'll rise up again,

at the very end, before it's too late.

So, then, they don't-- and then, there was a lot of people

who don't talk about stuff like that because,

if you don't talk about it, nobody will know about it.

So, that's sort of my only idea

for everywhere, I guess,

and everyone that, yeah,

you look to the past, uh,

trying to make it easier for the future.

Yum. Mum-mum.
