(THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
PLAYING)

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Can I help you?

Hi, I'm John Logue
with the Kerry Campaign,

and we just wanna make sure
we get all the voters
out there.

We have you listed
as a strong-leaning
Kerry household.

I'm voting for Bush.

You are?

Sorry, no matter how many
times people say that to me,

I just can't get over it.
It's like I don't have
the enzyme

to metabolize someone
actually saying that to me.

Sir, would you
at least take this brochure

which helps explain
why it is so important

to vote for John Kerry
this year?

And why Bush is evil!

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Hi, I'm John Logue
with the Kerry campaign.

Couldn't help but notice
you have a Bush...

But the war in Iraq
makes us less safe at home.

And he sold it to
the American people
on a boatload of lies.

Why don't you just let
your president do his job?

It's a democratic election,
ma'am.

This president
has made, I regret to say,
a colossal error of judgment,

and judgment is
what we look for

in the president of
the United States of America.

(WHOOPING)

(WHISTLES)

Okay, I wanna
make a solemn promise

with all of you here
as my witnesses.

Now, he's not gonna win,
'cause we've done our job.

We know who's gonna win,
right?

(ALL CHEERING)

But if...

If George Dubya Bush
gets elected President
for another four years,

I swear, I promise on my life,

that I will move to Canada!

(ALL CHEERING)

No more Bush!
No more Bush!
No more Bush!

(PEOPLE APPLAUDING ON TV)

I would not
give up this fight

if there was a chance
that we would prevail.

But it is now clear that even
when all the provisional
ballots are counted,

there won't be enough
outstanding votes for
us to be able to win Ohio.

And therefore,
we cannot win this election.

Oh, I hate you.
Oh, I hate you. I hate you.

My friends, it was here that
we began our campaign for
the presidency,

and all we had was hope
and a vision for a better
America.

WOMAN ON TV: Meanwhile,
a jubilant President Bush
celebrated his victory.

The President spoke
of healing the divide
in this country.

These words
will go a long way.

And, Jeff, I think with
this kind of support,
the President...

JOHN: What were we thinking,
collectively as a nation?

I mean,
the second it happened,
I said to myself, "Of course.

"There's no way
Kerry was gonna win."

'Cause half this
country's so stupid

they voted for this evil,
warmongering, corrupt moron

with Dick Cheney's hand up
his ass. And the other half

has such a self-defeating
inferiority complex

that we nominated this
wooden, unelectable
opportunist.

Man, it was close.

Sort of. Not really.

I was just so excited to see
what would happen to that look

on Bush's face when
he realized he was finished.

You know,
he's got that look,
that... That kind of...

Curious George
getting a bad hand job.

Now, what about your promise?

What promise?

Don't fucking play dumb.

They knew I wasn't serious.

You swore on your life,
John.

You were on the news.

It was local.

You swore on your life.

I'm not moving to
fucking Canada, Hal.
I'll see you later.

(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPING)

Hey, John, it's Matt.
Pretty bummed.

I know how much this
election meant to you,
man. I'm really sorry.

I mean, for all of us.
For me. For all of us.

Thinking about hanging
myself or something.
But, I don't know.

Oh, I'm thinking about going
to the movies around eightish.

If you wanna go,
give me a call before then.

(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPING)

John, it's David.

I just spoke to Hal,
and I heard what
you're gonna do.

A bunch of us were gonna
do something, but you're
really gonna do it.

Man, you're moving to Canada.
Wow!

(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPING)

JOHN'S FRIENDS:
* Oh, Canada!

* John Logue
is going to Canada *

Hey, Craig, is she in?

Hey.

Hey.

Oh.

Bad day, huh?

It just feels like
a different country.

Like, you can feel
the depression in the air.

Oh, I know how hard
you worked. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for all of us.

I've got bad news.

If you're here for your
old job back, it's gone.

What?

DigiHouse cancelled
their account yesterday.

They what?

Yeah, they decided to go with
a more conservative approach.

They're moving their
operations to Nashville.

Oh, this is unbelievable.

Hey, I thought
that blogging thing was
really taking off for you,

you know, with
the election and all.

Have you been reading it?

Yeah...

Angry Donkey.

thedonkeyrevolution.com.

Right.
Well, I checked it
a couple of weeks ago.

I'm sorry.

Look,
I will let you know
if I hear of anything.

Maybe we can grab
a drink this week.

I thought...

Did you give any more
thought to, you know, us?

John, I...

What is that?

I know.

I've been meaning
to talk to you.

I thought we were
just taking some time off.

Well, you didn't even want
to talk while you were away.

I was focused on the campaign.

I thought now was the time
we were gonna discuss us.

Well, how long was I
supposed to wait, John?

Apparently, not that long.

Who is it?

Don't do this.

Do I know him?

Craig?

(SHOUTS) Craig?

Craig?

I'm sorry. Okay,
I should've told you sooner.

You think?

(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPING)

You've reached John Logue.

I'm off campaigning for
the future of America
right now,

so leave a message
and I'll get back to
you on November 3rd.

And don't forget to vote.

(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPING)

GLORIA: Hello, John, I'm
calling from MarryACanadian.ca

up here in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
That's in Canada.

And we're an organization
set up to help Americans
establish roots here

after last week's
tragic election.

We heard about
what you're doing,
and we'd love to help.

So, give us a dingle
at 204-555-7328,

and ask for Gloria.
Thanks so much, then.

JOHN: "Liberal ladies
and gentlemen of the US,

"now that George W. Bush
will be with us, tragically,
for another four years,

"single American liberals
will be desperate to escape."

HAL: Dude, I swear
I didn't sign you up.

Then how'd they find me?

They didn't
read it on your blog.

How do you know?
Maybe they did.

Dude, nobody reads your
stupid blog. And besides...

Oh, screw you.

So, what's her name?

Oh...

(PHONE RINGING)

GLORIA: Hello?

Hi, is this
MarryACanadian.com?

You mean dot C-A.

This is John Logue.
Somebody from your
organization called me.

Oh, that was me.
I'm so glad you called.

And you found my number how?

A friend of mine heard
from another friend of mine

who saw on TV that you were
planning on moving to Canada

if Bush won the election.
So, we thought we'd give
you a ring.

What are you, the CIA?

No. Canada doesn't have any
invasive organizations
like that.

We let people
enjoy their privacy.

So, we've got
people coming up
as soon as tomorrow.

Well, I haven't
even decided if...

I haven't even
decided if I'm going.

If you wanna come up here,
we'd be more than happy

to help you get accustomed
to living here in Winnipeg,

including finding a Canadian
to marry for your citizenship.

Did you get a chance to
look at the profiles
on our website?

Yeah, I...

I thought it was a joke.

We've had some American news
organizations treating it
like a joke.

And these women
are willing to marry me?

Well, it's a little
more involved than that.
I mean, they gotta like you.

Look, this is really...

This is really nice of you,
Gloria.

Well, we're nice
up here sometimes
for no good reason.

Thank you, I'll be in touch.

LARRY: I wanna get out
of corporate America, man.

You know,
you've got a computer,
they'll read your files.

Track everything you do.

I got my FBI file once under
the Freedom of Information
Act.

This fucking thick, man.

My girlfriend
lives in Vancouver,

and I've got
a week's vacation.

Tall latte,
no fat, extra foam.

So I saw your post, and I
thought a road trip would
be neat.

Last road trip I took,

I listened to Neil Diamond,
like, 70% of the trip.

Something about it just
clicked with the landscape.

Right.

You got those multinationals
just pouring propaganda
into your brain.

And what are
your political views?

(LAUGHING) Yeah,
I saw that on the flier.
Does it really matter?

You voted for Bush,
didn't you?

So, it's cool
if I bring my pet snake?

Well, you know...

Marry a Canadian, huh?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah, man,
I'll have to look into that.

All righty.
Looking forward
to hearing from you.

Okay.
Thanks a lot, Jack.

Okay. It's John.

Are you John?

Yeah.

Hi. Chloe.

Hi.

Sorry.
I'm like an hour late.

Hi, you want
a coffee or tea or...

No, I'm okay.

Oh, okay. Have a seat.

Thanks.
Yeah.

Sorry...

Chloe.
Chloe Haymon or Hamon?

Hamon.

You know,
that's Spanish for ham,
you know. Or it's jamon.

I think it's an English name.

No one's ever pointed that
out to you? Hamon, jamon?

You're the first. Congrats.

Well.

So what do you do, John?

I was a graphic designer.

I mean, I am still
a graphic designer,

but I gave up my job
to work on the campaign.

So, you're gonna be looking
for work up in Canada?

Well, my moving to
Canada is a protest

against the recently
re-elected administration.

Why? Are you somebody
I should know or something?

What do you mean?

I mean, who's gonna care
if you move to Canada?

Well, you don't have to
be a somebody to make
a political statement.

But, yeah, actually,
the local news did
a piece on me

and I write a blog
called the Donkey Revolution.

Cool. So are you gonna have,
like, cameras following you
or something?

No, but I'll be
documenting it on the blog.

Pen's mightier
than the sword.

What about you?
Why do you want to go?

Oh, I'm with you.
I just wanna get out of here
as fast as fucking possible.

Were you working
on the campaign?

Yeah.

Which group?

The main one. For Kerry.

The D.N.C.?

Yeah.

I heard you guys were more
on the ball than the 527s.

Yeah, yeah, they were
pretty good to work for.

Not good enough, though.

Yeah,
I'm just so sick of it all.
I mean, the dude lied to us.

And there's people dying
over there for no reason.

And then he gets re-elected?

Exactly.

So, are you gonna be
making a decision soon?

Well, I have a couple
of more people to...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, very soon.

'Cause I could leave tomorrow.

Great.

HAL:
I can't believe she's hot.

You could come, too.

Are you two gonna
share a hotel room?

We didn't discuss that.

Are you gonna share a bed?

It's only a few days' drive.

Gonna share your fluids?
Oh, shut the fuck up, Hal.

I'm going up there
to make a political statement.

Please. Did Gandhi go
on a sex-fueled road trip

with some little
communist hottie to
protest British occupation?

No.
No.

He fasted for weeks.

Martin Luther King,
did he desegregate the
South by boning white women?

I don't think so. He marched,
he got spit on, he got
attacked by dogs

and honky policemen,
and then he got shot.

You're going on what
I believe will be described
by historians as a sex romp.

You were practically
forcing me into this
a week ago.

He'll be gone in four years.

And then we get
to get ready for Jeb.

JOHN: This country
is too conservative.

And it's not gonna
change any time soon.

HAL: And you're really
gonna give up your
American citizenship?

That's my plan.

Good morning.
Good morning.

Here, let me
help you with that.

Nah, I got it.

Ready to hit the road?
Yep.

I was thinking maybe
we'll stop and pick up
some groceries and a cooler.

I don't know your
financial situation, but...

No, no, that's good.
That's great.

Okay.

'Cause it can
get kind of tense,
two people traveling together,

if they're on totally
separate budgets, you know.

One person wants to go to
the finest restaurants
in town...

No, no, no,
I totally agree.

Good, I'm really glad
to hear you say that.

If you open
the glove compartment there...

What is this?

JOHN: That is
a budget I put together.

It's got meals,
gas, hotel rates,
tolls along the route.

And also,
I mapped out the best
route to take. There it is.

Thanks. Thanks for doing this.

You're welcome.

CHLOE: Good to know you've
got everything under control.

Yeah, well, I think
it's best to do that
before each trip.

You know, before each
adventure, so to speak.

CHLOE: Should we stop for gas?

Yeah, but we gotta wait
for a Coorco station.

Why?

Coorco is
a Venezuelan company.

No support for
Middle East oil, right?

I know, Chavez is no saint,
but at least he cares about
his people.

What if we don't pass one?

No, we will. I mapped out
all the locations along
the route.

If you go to the tab
marked "gas." There it is.

This is really detailed.

It's a program
on the computer. It's
just a spreadsheet, but...

It's more for fun,
I do it. But I enjoy it.

Are you a vegetarian?

Me?
Yeah.

No.

Huh.

Are you?

Yeah.

CASHIER:
That'll be $7.55, please.

CUSTOMER:
All right, there you go.

CASHIER:
All right, here's your change.

You wanna drive for a while?

Isn't it stick?

Yeah.

I can't drive stick.

What?

I don't know how.

But the flier said you needed
to know how to drive stick.

Didn't it say standard?

Standard is stick.

Oh, I thought
standard was regular.

No, there's automatic
and there's stan...
You know, forget it.

It's my fault,
I forgot to ask you
about it when we met.

I've been meaning to learn.
People are always ragging
on me.

Yeah, it's okay.

You know,
we never actually talked
about the rooming situation.

Oh, right. Yeah.

You know, if we were
gonna get one room or two.

I mean,
I don't care either way.

Me neither.

Okay. Good.

How about,
if they have single rooms
with two beds, we take that,

but if they only have rooms
with one bed, then we spring
for two rooms?

Sure, or whatever...
I could sleep on the floor.

If we wanna save money.

I could sleep
on the floor, too.

Right. We could switch off.
Sure.

We only have rooms available
with one king-sized bed.

A king's pretty big.

Let's get two rooms.

Sure. Yeah.
There's probably more
stuff once we get north.

This will be easier.
Yeah.

Two rooms?
Two rooms. Yeah.

That's better.
Yeah.

Do you have Internet access
anywhere?

Yes, there's wireless
in all the rooms.

Oh, great.

Well, they have a...
This way. They have
a coffee shop downstairs.

Or I saw a diner when
we got off the freeway.

Sure. I'll eat anything.

Okay.

So, just knock on my door
in a few minutes, okay?

Okay.

When you win,
there is a feeling

that the people have spoken
and embraced your point
of view.

And that's what I intend
to tell the Congress.

I made it clear
what I intend to
do as the President.

It's one of the wonderful...

It's like earning capital.

You asked, "Do I feel free?"
Let me put it to you this way.

I earned capital
in the campaign,
political capital,

and now I intend to spend it.

It is my style.
That's what happened
after the 2000 election.

I earned some capital.
I've earned capital in
this election.

And I'm gonna
spend it for what...

...I've told the people
I'd spend it on.

Come on.

BUSH: Been
a fantastic experience,
campaigning the country.

Come on.

You've seen it
from one perspective,
I've seen it from another.

Saw you standing there
at the last, final rally in
Texas, to my right over there.

I was observing you observe,
and you saw the energy.
There was just something...

What are you doing?

I was just...
I'll figure this out later.

BUSH ON TV: Now that I've
got the will of the people
at my back,

I'm going to start enforcing
the one-question rule.

That was three questions.

Our president,
ladies and gentleman.

As far as Tony Blair's
comments, I agree with him.

Middle East peace
is a very important part of...

JOHN: I always hate
when people tell me
what to do, you know,

tie my shoes, or shave,
or get a haircut,
anything like that.

Anything else you don't like?

Sorry.

So what did you do before
you worked on the campaign?

I was a teacher.

Really? What'd you teach?

Phys ed.

How'd you get into that?

CHLOE: I...

WAITRESS: And there's yours.

CHLOE: Thanks.

WAITRESS: And your salad.

Thank you.

And your biscuit.

So, tell me about that
organization thing up
in Canada.

Well, it's a group that
helps people like us,
who are moving up there,

find jobs and, you know,
meet Canadians.

Sounds perfect.

Yeah, and the lady
who runs it, Gloria,

seemed really
nice on the phone.

Aren't you worried about
looking for work up there?

Well, graphic design's
pretty portable,

and I can always
do some freelance.

Plus, I'd really
like to focus on
the Donkey Revolution.

What's that?

My website. The blog.

It's like the Daily Kos
or Wonkette.

Remember? I told you
about it when we met.

So, 7:00 tomorrow?

7:00's a little early.

What time, then?

8:00, 8:30?

8:30.

Good night.

Good night.

COMEDIAN ON TV: Let me
transfer you to somebody
who can help you. Hello, FBI?

ANNOUNCER: Who's coming home
for dinner, in the feel-good
comedy...

In today's top story,
Secretary of State
Colin Powell

and three other
Cabinet members

have apparently
submitted their resignations,

though Powell has told
reporters that he will
remain in the post

until a successor is named.

Letters of resignation were
also delivered by Energy
Secretary Spencer Abraham,

Agriculture Secretary
Anne Veneman,

and Education Secretary
Rod Paige.

Concerns over the health
of Vice President Dick Cheney

continue despite...

CHLOE: Okay, I'll...
JOHN: That was good.

Now, let's... Okay,
let's put it in neutral.

(CAR ENGINE STARTING)

Put your foot on the clutch.

Now, you're in first.
Now, you ease...

Okay, yeah, you can turn
that thing any way you want.

And then... Okay,
now, those are cars,
so we're gonna want...

Okay, you wanna go left.

Good. This is lovely.
What you're doing is right.

Okay, you know, maybe
I should keep driving
for now.

ANNOUNCER ON RADIO: The Left
just got a little bit louder
on

The Majority Report.

WOMAN: The Republican Party,
it is my contention,
over these next four years,

are going to implode,
between the paleocons,

the neocons, the Evangelicals,
and the moderates.

And they will be...

Hello, Mom?

Hi.

It's John.

Yeah. I...

I got a little surprise
for you.

I'm in Oregon
and I'm driving north.

Yeah. Exactly.

I guess around 4:00.

Mom, look, I'm in Oregon.
It's hard to predict exactly
when I'm going to arrive

in Eastern Washington State,
eight hours away.

I will call you
when I'm closer, okay?

Just me and a friend.

Yes, and she has blue hair,
and she might be a lesbian.

I'm just gonna
tell you this now,

so you don't faint
when you see her.

Would you just tell Dad,
so he doesn't...

Okay, me, too. Bye.

You ready?

There's something I kind of
neglected to mention to you.

What's that?

My parents live in
a small town in Washington,

which, unfortunately, we're
gonna pass through tonight.

Why didn't you say anything?

I don't know.

I wasn't sure
whether we should stop.

I don't mind parents,
as long as they're not mine.

I can't do this.

Come on, give me the keys.

I'll drive.

Really?
Come on.

(GHOSTS PLAYING ON CAR STEREO)

Let's put something else on.

Wow, you got a lot of CDs.

They're alphabetized. Aw.

Look,
maybe you should
just drive, huh?

CHLOE: Bushisms?
What are these? I got it.

Yeah, here, I'll show you.
Put one in.

Here,
it's a little
project of mine.

BUSH ON STEREO: You're free
and freedom is beautiful.

And, you know,
it'll take time
to restore chaos.

So? He messes up sometimes.

I don't see why people
make such a big deal
about it.

...hauling in a lot
of the key operators.

It's a huge deal.
You have to listen.

The real story
of his presidency
is in the fuck-ups.

It's like Freudian slips.

...vast majority
of Iraqis want to live
in a peaceful, free world.

And we will
find these people,

and we will bring them to
justice. I know the human...

It's like he tells everyone
the truth in plain sight,

but people just pass it off
as him saying stupid things.

See, it's the mistakes
we should be listening to.

...the joy of Hanukkah.

CHLOE: I'm sorry,
but you've got way
too much time on your hands.

BUSH ON STEREO: If this were
a dictatorship, it'd be
a heck of a lot easier.

CHLOE: Anything I should know
before we get there?

JOHN: About my parents?
Honestly, they're gonna
take one look at you and

slam the door in your face.
Probably call Homeland
Security.

CHLOE: I'm not that bad.

I don't know
if I can handle this.

Come on, John, grow up.
You're what, like,
30 years old?

Twenty-eight.

And you still
haven't gotten over
the whole thing of

bringing home someone
your parents might not
approve of?

It's a little more than that.

If I brought home
a vegetarian,

Luna Bar-eating
tight-ass like you,

my dad would probably
be forcing you to

shotgun beers and
bare-knuckle box him

before dinner was over.

But I'd bring you home
anyway, if I liked you.

Thanks.

Besides,
we're not even dating.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

MRS. LOGUE: Door's open.

JOHN: Hello?

MRS. LOGUE: In here.

(ROTISSERIE DINGS)

Could you give me a hand,
please?

Hi, Mom.

MRS. LOGUE:
Close the rotisserie, please.

Now.

How are you, John?

Mom, you know
I don't eat meat.

Are you still doing that?

Last time I checked,

the agro-business-industrial
complex hasn't changed any.

What have we here?

Mom, this is Chloe Hamon.

Oh, dear.
Did you just pull
yourself off a leash?

It's a necklace, Mom.

Actually, it's kind
of a new look for me.

See?

That was you?

Dear, could you
help me set the table?

I hear
his father pulling up.

Of course.

Okay, if we leave right now,
we can be gone before
she's back.

She's fine.

You had some style
in high school.

MRS. LOGUE: John-John,
your father's home.

Go ahead, John-John.
I'll set the table.

(MR. LOGUE EXCLAIMS)

Come back to America-Town with
your tail between your legs,
eh, Comrade Lenin?

I thought maybe we'd cover
hello before we get into
politics.

Yeah, well, our man
wiped his ass with your boy.

You heard
the Vice President,
said it was a mandate.

Well, if Cheney said it,
then it must be true.

You are the poster child for
what's wrong with America
today.

You cynical, sarcastic,
energy-sucking liberals.

All you ever do is whine,
whine, whine, complain.

Complain, complain, whine,
complain, complain, whine.

Bitch, whine, and complain.
Whine, bitch, complain,

and criticize, and whine,
and bitch.

Well,
I'd rather sit back
and listen to all that

than let your boys into
the White House to ruin
the country.

(CLEARS THROAT)

If that's the way you feel.

You see where we flushed out
a bunch of ragheads in
Baghdad yesterday?

Fourteen more
US troops were killed.
And the world hates us.

You probably think we need to
pass some global test to do
good in the world.

See, that's the problem,
you just repeat whatever
you hear

without even thinking
about it. Some kind of
flag-waving monkey.

You come on my program
and you call me a monkey!

Dad.
We're going to
commercial break here!

Cut off his mic!

So tell me,
why would an otherwise
intelligent young man

like yourself wanna
vote for the other side?

Mom.

I asked you a question, sir.

I'd rather not
talk about this.

Well,
it's unpatriotic,
it's anti-American.

Being critical of
your government's actions

is one of
the most patriotic
acts a person can make.

Especially if
the government's wrong.

(SCOFFS) Come on.

Didn't Vietnam show that?

The Civil Rights movement?
Abolishing slavery?

No,
you're living in the past.

People are dying every day.

Not just American soldiers,
but Iraqis and Afghanis

who never did a damn thing.

Never did a thing!
What about 9/11?

They had nothing
to do with 9/11.

This is all just
the White House

pushing its arrogant,
idealistic agenda.

It's the Cold War
all over again.

That's right,
and we won the Cold War!

Deposing dictators
who were not a threat
to our country in any way!

You are so out of line!

Of course,
Bush wouldn't know that,

because he hasn't read
a book since My Pet Goat.

Do you know that Kennedy
read The Guns of August
during

the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Our president
listens to the people
around him who know.

Who know what?
All they're doing
is turning the people

of the Middle East
against us even more.

That's because they're getting
the wrong information,
it's the media.

We've got brave boys
over there.

JOHN: Yeah, who are giving
their lives for a huge
mistake.

Next caller. Young lady,
where are you calling from?

Uh, San Diego.

San Diego, California,
you're on the line.

Dad.
Don't call me Dad.

Next caller. Honey,
open the phone lines, please.

MRS. LOGUE: John...
Open the phone lines.

Yes, John.

I'll go get some
more orange juice.

Is everything okay?

He wasn't always like this.

Our other son is in Iraq,
you know.

I didn't know.

Of course,
John didn't tell you.

Look.

We can believe
different things, Dad.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What about Perry?

He knows how I feel.

(STUTTERING) But,
what if he were...

If he were to...

It's not about that.

Dad...

I cannot have you saying
these things in my house.

Go on.

Get out.

We're leaving.

Mom.

Why do you provoke him
like that?

I'm going.

Thanks for stopping by,
John-John.

How come you never told me?

We've only known each other
two fucking days.

Okay,
don't fucking snap at me.

You know, it must be hard
for them to listen to you,

with their other son
over there.

I am doing the best thing for
my brother and everyone else.

I'm trying to end this thing.

Still, they might
not wanna hear it.

We're all so fucking
brainwashed into thinking

political opposition
is unpatriotic.

That somehow
it's against the troops.

Okay, John,
I don't wanna hear
a tirade right now.

I'm just trying to talk
to you about your brother.

'Cause you can go back
there and stay with them,
instead of sitting there

trying to lecture me about
something that you don't
know the first thing about.

I know that this
is a pointless war,

and I'm sorry that
your brother has to be
over there fighting it.

But just because
I don't feel like

running my mouth
off every chance I get,

doesn't mean I don't have
thoughts about this stuff.

RECEPTIONIST:
Hi, can I help you?

Two rooms.

Just fill these out.

I'm sorry I went off
on you last night.

Hey, it's a road trip,
right?

We've gotta get on each
other's nerves at some point.

Anyway, I'm sorry.
Go ahead.

But I am in
a good mood today.

Why is that?

It's border day.

Wow.
Cross into Canada today.

Already?
Yeah.

Don't worry.

I'm okay.

Look, I just wanted
to tell you I'm okay.

Okay?

Bye.

I gotta go to the bathroom.

Okay, well,
we'll stop on
the other side.

I gotta go really bad.

(SIGHS) Well,
there's nowhere
to pull over, okay?

Stop the car!

We're already here, okay?

Relax, we'll talk about it
when we get to the other side.

No, I can't talk about it
when we get to the other side,

because I can't
go to the other side.

Now, what is
so goddamn important?

What?

I'm in the Army.

Excuse me?

I already did
one tour in Iraq,

and I'm supposed to be
shipping out again tomorrow.

You were in Iraq?

You were in Iraq.

Holy shit!

They let you look
like that in the Army?

No, the hair,
the whole thing
was just for this trip,

and I was
never a gym teacher.
That's what my dad does.

Just drive me back to Spokane,
and I'll take the bus home
or something.

This was a stupid idea,
anyway.

You're gonna give up now?
We're, like, a mile from
the border.

No, I can't.
They'll run my passport.

You came on this trip
for a reason, right?

Yeah, but I changed my mind.

So what are you gonna do?
You're gonna go back to
Iraq and get killed?

I'm sorry.

I wish I could take my brother
to the other side with me,
but I can't.

Come on, please. This is
what we came for, right?

You can do this.

(CHATTERING ON RADIO)

Good day.
Hi.

Passports, please.

Yep. Here you go.

What is the purpose
of your visit to Canada?

We're visiting my aunt.

Where does she live?

Winnipeg.

What's her name?

O'Neill. Gloria O'Neill.

Are you carrying
anything I should know about?

No.

Any reefer?

No.

American beer?

Beer?
Is American beer illegal?

No, but it tastes like piss.

(CHUCKLING)

Welcome to Canada.

Thank you.

(WHOOPING)

(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)

JOHN: Whoa. Whoa.

CHLOE: Yeah, yeah, okay, okay.

My father was in the Army,
his brother, my grandpa,
my great-grandpa.

My mom was an Army brat.
I mean, she lived in all
these places.

Germany, the Philippines,
you know, when she was a kid.

I don't have any brothers,
so it fell on me.
All the hope.

That's why you enlisted?

No, I didn't go
right into the service.

But college
just wasn't for me.

I mean, I went for
like a year and a half,
and then I dropped out.

So, I'm going from
job to job, making dick.

I'm living with this guy who
I shouldn't be living with,

basically because I can't
afford to live on my own.

Suddenly, following
in the old family tradition

didn't seem like
such a bad idea.

And it didn't bother you
there was a war going on?

The recruiter promised that,
since I was a woman,
I'd never see combat.

You believed a recruiter?
Everyone knows recruiters lie.

Maybe all your
Fahrenheit 9/11 -watching
buddies in San Francisco know,

but this is a representative
of the US Army.

I asked him three times,
"Are you sure I'll never
see combat?"

He looked me in the eye
and said, "Yes."
Three times.

Jesus.

And then I get to basic
training, and there are
all these fuck-ups

who are just looking
for a way out of life.

People like me.

Do any of them like it?

Some do.

How come you never told me
about your brother?

I don't know.
It never came up.

Yeah, but you talk
about the war and all
that stuff all the time.

I mean, I was thinking,
"What is this guy worrying
about?"

It still matters, you know.

I gotta tell you the truth.
I thought you were kind of
full of it.

Maybe I am.

Seriously, is it really
such a big deal for you,
every day of your life,

that you have to move out
of the country because of
who's president?

Yeah.
Yeah, people don't
live what they believe.

How is this living
what you believe?

Take September 11th.
Okay, everyone gets all
impassioned about it,

but after a while,
time passes, life goes on.

But that's the way life is.
It goes on.

Not for the families
who lost someone.

Did you know someone?

My point is,
a couple of years go by,
and everyone gets all angry

about the war in Iraq,
and Bush, and the election.

'Cause it's like,
"Oh, my God,
politics does matter."

But then Bush wins,
and do we do anything?

Do we sacrifice anything?
No, we just throw up
our hands.

No need to save
more, or use less gas,
or volunteer, or do anything.

My vote didn't matter.

The work I did didn't matter.

That's not a place
I wanna live in.

It sounds to me
like you're running away.

Yeah, I'm running.
I'm running from
George W. Bush.

Oh, Canada.

Oh, Canada.

(LAUGHING)
Well, one of them
slips and gets his foot

in the actual,
like, toilet water.

Shut up.
No, no, seriously.

And they have that, like,
"one billion flushes" blue
shit in there.

(SHUSHING)

CHLOE: Okay, we got two left.

Oh, good.

We need to drink.
Two for me.

(LAUGHING) Cheers.

I'll catch up with you.

How did I get so tired?

You know what you need?
Music.

Why, will you dance for me?

I might.
I could be persuaded to dance.

MAN ON TV: Let me know
what you think about
the fact that we're thinking

of making the sasquatch
the national animal of Canada.

MAN 2: I think
that's pretty cool.

CHLOE: So is this
place we're going to
some kind of office?

JOHN: I'm not sure.
It's not like I've ever
been to Winnipeg before.

Well, me neither.
It's just, I didn't
bring my resume.

Well, you can just tell them
that you look really good
in camouflage.

Shut up.

Yes, sir.

Oh, John Logue!

Oh, my God,
you're even cuter in person.

Hi. This is Chloe.

Hi, I'm Gloria O'Neill,
president of Marry-A-Canadian.

Oh!

Oh, I love your hair.
Thanks.

Come on in.
You just missed
the ceremony.

Ceremony?

Howdy, folks.
Somebody here
order the 40-incher?

That's us. Thanks.

John?

Oh, okay.

GLORIA: Here you go,
keep the change.

Okay, this way.

Okay.

Sorry about the cold.
It was 27 last week.

That's about
80 degrees Fahrenheit.

I was sunbathing nude
in the back, and now...

(SHIVERING)

You might have to turn it
diagonal there to get it
inside.

JOHN: I got it.

Come on in.
I'll be right back.

(FUNK MUSIC PLAYING)

Did those two
just get married?

He's American. She's Canadian.
We officially rescued our
first liberal

from four more years of Dubya.

How long have they
known each other?

Met two days ago.
But you have to get
along pretty well

if you're gonna get hitched.
Because to get citizenship,

you have to live together
for about six months.

That's a lot to figure out
in two days.

Oh, John,
some of the girls
you flagged are here.

So I want you to settle in,
get your bearings,

by which I mean
have a few drinks,

and I'll introduce
the two of you around.

But you! You're
just as cute as an otter.

I won't worry about you.

Here, let me
take your coats.

Thank you.

GLORIA: Here,
and put these on.

And beer's out front,
wine's in the kitchen,
and mingle.

MAN: And there she is,
the woman...

This is like a mixer.

No, it's more like
a NAFTA summit meeting.

You didn't tell me it was
called Marry-A-Canadian.

Oh, I just thought it was
the name of the group.
Not literal.

Yeah, when you
were flagging girls?

Do you want beer or wine?

Both.

(SIGHS)

Hi. Scott.
First time in Canada?

Yeah.

We got this thing here called
the Tall Poppy Syndrome.
You know it?

No.

Well, see,
in a field of poppies,

they'll cut down the ones
that stand above the rest.

So, no one wants to
stand out too much.

You're welcome.

We've got everything
you need.

All the artsy stuff,
if you're into that.

Sure.
All the sports stuff, too.

I'm surprised you haven't
heard of that. Really famous.

Well, I arrived at
about 3:00 yesterday or so.

"About"?
About.

I'm sorry, "Aboot."

"Aboot"? No, I mean...
What do you mean, "Aboot"?

Well, you're saying it funny.
You're going, "Aboot."

People who used
to vote Democrat
for economic reasons,

well, they're now voting
Republican because they
think it's more in line

with their moral values.

Well, when we were working
in Ohio,

all they had us doing was
going to supporters' houses...

Why don't you pass me
one of them cold ones,
little lady?

So, do you wanna get married?

No. And, anyway,
I'm an American, too.

So? How about get laid?

No.

You wanna know a secret?

I don't even hate Bush.

I mean, that's what I
came here for, the bush!

Oh, jeez, sorry. I've got...
I'll be right back.

Hey! We're putting
you in the penalty box.

Sorry, I'll be right back.

Are you having fun?

Yeah. You?

This is like a bad
seventh-grade dance.

Excuse me. John?

Yeah. That's me.

I saw your profile on
the website. I'm Rebecca.

JOHN: Hi.

So, you're a blogger?
I'm a bloggee.
I've read your blogs.

Oh, we should totally blog.

Fuck him! Fuck it!
I don't wanna hear
what he says.

In fact, I wish that
motherfucker was dead.

I'm running from my
own country like a refugee.

(HIP HOP MUSIC PLAYING)

GLORIA: Night.
MAN: Night.

I assume you two aren't...
I don't mean to put you
on the spot.

No.

No, we just met
a few days ago.

(CHUCKLES) Around here,
that means you could be
married.

Okay, Chloe, I'll give
you the last free bedroom.

You look like you need it.
And feel free to use
the computer.

This way, John.

I've got this
foldout for you.

Okay.

So did you meet
anyone you like?

Did you notice
that the people here
are not very political?

I know. I know.

When you start
something like this,
you take what comes.

Sex and politics.
What do you think
the '60s were like?

I don't know.
I wasn't born.

I'm gonna
get my stuff for the...

For that.
You're there. Okay.

Gloria offered to show us
around Winnipeg tomorrow.

Great, that should
take about 10 minutes.

I thought
it was nice of her.

Yeah,
everyone here's real nice.

What's your problem?

It's freezing.

It's not always this cold.
It was 27 degrees...

27 degrees last weekend.

Yeah, I heard that
about a billion times already.

That, and the tall poppies,
and the universal health care.

You know what? My health care
was covered just fine by
the US Army.

Yeah, I hear Baghdad Medical
has really great treatment
for car bomb accidents.

Yeah, real funny, John.

What are you so mad about?

You lied to me.

I lied? I never lie.

Lying by not saying
something is still lying.

You didn't tell me this thing
was about getting people to
marry each other!

I didn't know.

You didn't know?
The goddamn thing is
called Marry-A-Canadian.

What about a certain lie by
omission about you being in
the Army?

That's different.

Yeah, it's much worse.

Who the fuck are you, John?

You know, you're not making
some big statement by
coming up here!

You're just some big,
hypocritical, liberal pussy.

All talk and no action!

I was on the news!
Big deal!

You don't think
the Donkey Revolution
affects people?

Six people have
read your blog, John!

More people
have read my diary!

What about the fact
that I went to Ohio
for the election?

Yeah, for like a week.

Oh, I bet you didn't
even vote for Kerry.

I didn't vote at all!

You know, I was gonna ask
if I could sleep in your
room tonight.

After you ignored me
all night?

What are you doing?

You think I'm all talk?

I'm gonna do
something right now.

You're drunk.

I was gonna do
this last night,
but...

Ow!

You would've
been a lot better off
trying that last night.

Ow!

CHLOE: Pussy!

Must've been a nasty slip.
Here put this on it.

Yeah, it was.

Yeah, stairs can
be tricky sometimes.

Be right back.

(GROANING)

I don't bite, John.

You don't have to
wear those jeans to bed.

You certainly don't have
to sleep on that sorry
little death trap

when I've got this great,
big, comfortable bed
right over here.

Come on.

Come on.

(WIND CHIMES TINKLING)

GLORIA: Hot scrambled eggs
coming right up.

John, more O.J.?

No, no, I'm good. Thank you.

JOHN: It's like everything is
just a little different here.

GLORIA: A little?
It's way different.

Reminds me
of what America was
like when I was a kid.

Fewer chain stores.
A little...

It's a little grayer,
but...

It's like the '80s
without Reagan.

CHLOE: Bullshitter. You don't
even remember Reagan.

You probably don't know
who Reagan is.

Now, children,
it's not about how
everything compares

with what you have
in the States.

We have plenty of our
own stuff going on here.

Like what?

CURLER: All right.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

All right, sweep that!
Go! Looking good!

Good shot.

What is that?

This is my curling sweater.
You've never been curling?

I'm from San Diego.
I went to the beach.

I was kidding.
Come on, it'll be fun.

Oh, my jaw is fine,
by the way. Thanks for asking.

GLORIA:
Okay, push the rock.
You can do it. Good. Good.

Great, now what?

Okay,
let go of the rock.

Go!

Sweep!
Sweep!

Sweep! Take my broom!

CURLER: What am I supposed
to be doing here?

Okay, I'm like the stone.
Sweep!

You know, I've been meaning
to tell you. I respect what
you're doing there.

You mean eating
these nasty fries?

I'm from a poor-ass
neighborhood in Detroit.

Half my friends
are over there, so
I know one when I see one.

What gave it away?

Why else does a cat
like you move to Canada?

Are you in the service?

Me? Hell no.

Thanks.
Yeah.

(GROANS)

Let me get that for you.

Oh, no, I can do it.

I thought after lunch
we could go down to City Hall
and get our marriage license.

I don't know.

Well, don't worry.
It just means that

we have up to three months
to actually do the deed.

Oh, okay, great...
Good, so no rush.

'Cause, you know,
I've only been here a day.

No, I don't wanna force you
into anything, sweetheart.

It's just that you wanna
be able to do what you
came here for

and, like,
really make a difference.

Yeah.

So you need
to start the process to
become a Canadian citizen.

Well, I can
apply for asylum.

I wanna tell you something,
John.

Okay.

You're the one I've
had my eye on ever since
we first talked on the phone.

Really?

Yeah.

I read your blog.
You're an amazing writer.

You've got brilliant ideas.

I think you're a genius.

No, I'm not. Well...

You need to keep writing.
Keep experiencing.

True.

Wasn't last night incredible?

Mmm-hmm.

We're not in love
with each other, John.

Oh, I...

I know,
we're political activists.

I wanna do this for you.
I wanna make you whole.

Can I talk to you
for a second?

About what?

I think you know.

Isn't this
what you came for?

I don't know
if I'm ready to do this.

Hey, if the fact
that she's a freaking cult
leader doesn't bother you,

neither should the fact
that she's almost 50.

No, it's not Gloria.
I like Gloria.

Good for you.

Listen, I know
you punched me in
the face last night, but...

And I'll do it again.

I just wanna talk to you
before I go in there and
do this.

I'm not your girlfriend.
I'm not your babysitter.

You tried
to kiss me last night,
and now you're marrying her?

No,
but I'm making a statement.

Yes, you are.

Gloria, how are you?

Been showing my friends here
around the Peg this morning.

SECRETARY: Oh, jeez, with
the traffic downtown
these days, eh?

Oh, it wasn't bad.

So, what can we
do you for today?

We're getting married.

People are just less selfish
around here, you know?

Not always
trying to get ahead.
Just seems in the States,

people don't realize that
they're living in a society.

And you'll have health care
once you're married,

which is pretty
darn important.

Is it true that 45 million
Americans are not insured?

How do Canadians know
all these facts about us?

It's like a one-way mirror
across the border, right?

We look across and see you,
and your movies,

and your politicians,
and your Paris Hiltons.

Then you
look across the border,
and you just see yourselves.

Like I said, selfish.

You know what I said
to a friend of mine

when he told me
he was moving to the States?

I said, "Finally,
you can tell me how
300 million fat, stupid people

"manage to run the world."

Badly.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Well, it's not that
everyone's stupid.

Right, fat and stupid.

I thought Canadians
were supposed to be nice.

We try to be, but you guys
have been pushing it lately.

It's not us.
It's our leaders.

Who elects the leaders?
The people.

Technically, in the States
it's the Electoral College.

See, that.
How do you know that fact?

Because we have to take
a whole year of stupid
US history.

Could you imagine if you
had to take a whole year
of Canadian history?

No. No, I couldn't.

Now, let me get your witnesses
in here, and we'll have you
ready to go.

He doesn't like us very much.

Oh, he likes you.

No, I mean Americans.
The US.

Oh, don't worry, you're
one of the good guys now.

Now, sign here.

And you're one step closer
to being a Canadian.

There.

Oh, fucking Canada!

GUESTS: Mazel tov!

GLORIA:
You may kiss the bride.

(GUESTS CHEERING)

And I have an announcement
to make. John, get up here.
Come on.

I did my own piece
of salvation today.

John and I went down
to City Hall to get
our marriage license.

(GUESTS CHEERING)

Cake and drinks for everyone.
Let's party!

(WHOOPS)

We're leaving.

Shouldn't you
ask your wife first?

I'm serious. Look,
go upstairs, get the bags.

I'll meet you outside
with the car, okay?

You're just gonna
sneak out like that?

You can't go.

What do you think
the mother hen over there

is gonna do
when she finds out?

We'll be gone
before it matters.

This is how John
takes a stand.
He runs away.

Fine.

That's how John makes a stand.

I can't let you go, Chlo.

We just met.

You can handle a piece, right?

What?

We cross at Niagara Falls,
and then we head south.

When we get to D.C.,
we go straight to
the White House.

We track them for a while.
And then when we get a chance,

I take out Bush
and you hit Cheney.

I been
planning this for a while.

I just needed a partner.

You know,
Bonnie-and-Clyde style.

I can't let her
go with you, man.

Don't you think
that's her choice?

She's made her choice.

Don't fucking threaten me!

GLORIA:
What's going on over there?

No idea.

Look, Gloria...

Thank you for your help
and your hospitality, but...

You're leaving?

Yeah, I know
we said some things,

and, well, we did
some things that maybe
gave you the wrong impression,

but Chloe and I
have to be going.

Yeah, thanks for everything.
JOHN: Yeah.

I'm just not ready, you know.
Maybe if we'd given it more
time, but...

This is just
so American of you.
What?

Everyone has to
do what you want,
on your schedule.

And you bring a gun!

Okay,
now, I'm getting
a little pissed off

at everyone shitting on
Americans all the time.

Just go invade Iran,
or whatever it is you
were going to do.

I'm sure we will, eventually.

I mean, it's the way
things are going...
Just leave.

Thank you, Gloria,
for the giant pizza.

RANDALL: Hey! Hey!
Don't move!

Just give me the gun, Chlo.
Chlo, I need the gun.

Come on, I was joking
about the Bush thing.
Chlo! Chlo!

Don't do this, Chlo!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

What about the gun?
Shit.

Oh. Okay, what was that
move you did back there?

(LAUGHING) That was amazing.

Whoo!

We're going to Vancouver,
okay. That's a real city.

You got it.
Find some normal
people to hang out with.

People our age.

And, I don't know,
open up a health food
store or something.

How are we doing for gas?

Good.

We should stop.

Just gotta wait for
a Petro-Canada station.

Not this again.

I read somewhere they use
only Canadian-produced oil.

Look, I'm not running out of
gas because of your stupid
Middle East oil theory.

There are a thousand of them.
And we're not gonna run out
of gas,

we still have a quarter
of a tank.

And it's not a theory,
it's a fact.

I'm sorry.

Sit anywhere you like.

Actually, we had
some car trouble.

What's wrong with it?

This is the man
you wanna talk to.

We ran out of gas.

Gas station's closed
this time of night.

Great.
But I could siphon
you some if you want.

That would be great.

Here, let me finish my food.

Why don't you sit down
and order something?

So what brings you to this
sparsely-populated neck of
the woods?

We came up from San Francisco.

No shit!
That's where I'm from.

CHLOE: You're American?

Yeah,
but I been living here
more than 35 years, now.

I'm afraid that won't
take you very far.

Listen, I only live
a few minutes away.

Why don't you crash
at my place tonight and fill
your tank up in the morning?

You sure?

Yeah, no problem.
Company's a rare commodity
up here. It's always welcome.

Follow my truck.

JOHN:
How'd you find this place?

I built it.

Old school,
just like the trappers
and settlers used to do it.

It's kind of like a...

Lincoln Log house.

Yeah, it's got
everything you need.

Heat, water, comfort.
Excuse me.

Here you go.

What is this?
Charlie's Best.

Yeah, I make beer.
That's a lager. I also
make a Manitoba Pale Ale

and a Strawberry Statement
Stout. That's a fruity kind
of darker brew.

Strawberry Statement,
wasn't that, that thing
at Columbia University?

(BEER CAP POPPING)

You know about that?
That's me.

(CHARLIE LAUGHING)

You wrote
The Strawberry Statement?

No, no, I was
just involved in all that.

CHLOE: I'm sorry for sounding
ignorant, but what is
The Strawberry Statement?

Oh, when I was in college,
a bunch of us took over
the university buildings

to protest the war in Vietnam.
Then I got drafted,

and when they
refused to accept me

as a conscientious objector,
I moved here

and I've been here ever since.

So you were a draft dodger?

Yeah, I don't particularly
like to use that word, but...

I think it's great.
We're actually moving up
here to protest the war.

You don't say?

Make a change in
the current administration.

What a bunch of assholes, huh?

So, in a way,
it's like we're
carrying on your work.

You know, I always say that
people my age don't have the
dedication to their beliefs

that people from
your generation had.

They say they believe in
something, but they don't
do anything about it.

Do you like it here?

Well, it's my life.

Would I do anything different?
Probably.

But what you did
stood for something. You took
a stand against an unjust war.

Yeah, and you think anybody
gave a shit? I mean, that's
what I thought at the time.

But in reality,
I was just saving my ass.

You know, nowadays, hell,
they don't even have
the draft.

These soldiers
that come up here,
what are they running from?

So, what do you think?

It's good.

JOHN: Can I try
the Strawberry Statement?

It's not available right now.
It's a seasonal brew.

Well, I gotta get some sleep.

Have as much
of the brew as you want.
The bathroom is the outhouse.

And there's buffalo skins
in that chest over there
if you get cold.

Thanks.
Thanks.

Wow.

It's good.

It is.

Oh, come on, drink it.

I am, I just
wanna let it breathe.

(GIGGLING) Yeah, right.

It's true.
We really didn't do anything.

I was too drunk.

You mean
you couldn't get it up.

I was too drunk.

That's perfect.

I thought
something was going on
between you and Randall.

He was a terrorist.

But at least
he was talking to me.

I'm sorry I was an asshole.

Yeah, you're
pretty insensitive
for a liberal pussy.

You want another beer?

Sure.
Allow the liberal pussy
to go get them.

So where to now?

I thought we'd live here.

I'm gonna go back.

If I don't face it all now,

I'm gonna end up living in
a log cabin in 30 years
in the middle of nowhere.

That won't happen
unless you let it.

Or I'll end up marrying

some crazy
Canadian hockey player
just for the citizenship.

No, there's people
we can talk to.

They have lawyers
that deal with this.

What would your brother think?
Honestly.

Because I know what the rest
of the troops in my squad
are thinking right now.

My brother's dead.

You serious?

It happened about three months
after "mission accomplished"
and all that.

His Chinook went down
near Basra.

It was totally pointless.

And your parents?
They don't know?

Denial.

I'm so sorry.

We couldn't go five minutes
without getting into
an argument,

so I didn't talk to him for
about four months before
it happened.

He was just doing his job.

I'm sorry I was such a jerk.

Listen,

just drop me
a mile from the border or
something, and I'll walk over.

You know, the election,
my stupid blog,
this whole trip,

you're the only good thing
that's happened in quite
a while.

So, I can take you.

If you're with me,
you might end up
getting involved.

Getting detained
or something.

Just drop me off,
and then you can
head on to Vancouver.

If I kiss you now,
are you gonna punch me?

No.

Are you sure? 'Cause...

Yeah.

'Cause it hurt.

Hey, you gotta get up.

Hi.

We have to go.

Wait, did you kill
a bear last night?

(CHUCKLING)

I can walk from here.

I'm gonna take you.

Seriously, you don't have to.

John, stop the car.

You gonna be okay?

Sure.

When do think
your trial's gonna be?

Can't say.

And what then?

If I'm lucky,
I get some kind of
dishonorable discharge.

What about you and me?

Seriously?

Yeah.

"Politics makes
strange bedfellows."

I read that on
thedonkeyrevolution.com.

You read that?

You're pretty good.
More people should
be reading.

Hi, there.
What's your citizenship?

JOHN: US.

How long have you been
outside the country?

Just a few days.

OFFICER: Have you been to
any farms while visiting
Canada?

JOHN: Does a log cabin count?

OFFICER: No.

(GATE BUZZING)

Hi.
Hey, there.

I got something to show you.

I can't believe
you're really doing this.

Well, if I don't, who will?

Missed you.

Let's go.
Okay.

* It's all here

* Today is the only day

* The old times
make way for the new

* Some fruit punch
spills on a tablecloth

* But there ain't
no mess to clean up

* Garbage in a can
sticks together

* The tiniest of things
are forever

* Drop a couple coins
and a feather

* And watch them
float away at the same time

* Song is made
with sugar and lemonade

* Sing on the porch,
swing along

* Me and you
having a barbecue

* Sticking our thumbs
in the air

* Meeting of some notes
on a pocket

* Sitting in the sun
with some chocolate

* Drop a couple pens
and some pencils

* And watch it all fall
right into place *
