:36:04
Thank you, Mr. Boyd.
:36:07
- How about the town hall? Like to see it?
- All right.
:36:10
It's right over here.
:36:16
Hi, Mr. Lowe.
:36:18
She was here, George. Nice-looking fellow.
:36:28
- Wanna see where you are right now?
- Yeah.
:36:33
That's Cape Anne, and that's the town hall,
right there.
:36:38
Did you know Cape Anne
is one of the few places left in America...
:36:41
or in the whole world, for that matter...
:36:43
where every person still votes
on every single thing? Did you know that?
:36:46
- No, I didn't know that.
- Well, it is.
:36:48
Once a year,
we all come here to the town meeting.
:36:51
By the way, next Thursday at 4:00...
:36:54
the whole place will be filled with every
man, woman and child in Cape Anne.
:36:57
Of course, the kids don't vote,
but boy, they listen and they learn.
:37:02
Town meeting will now come to order.
:37:06
Billy Osgood, you know the rules
about animals. Remove that lobster.
:37:10
- Who's that, Sam?
- That is.
:37:13
And who are you?
:37:14
Me? I'm Aaron Caldwell, first selectman.
:37:17
- Aaron Caldwell.
- Yeah.
:37:19
He also runs the grocery store in town.
:37:23
He's been first selectman
as long as I can remember.
:37:26
And George Denham's
always the defeated candidate?
:37:28
Not always. It used to be my dad.
:37:31
Of course, he came pretty close
a couple times to being elected...
:37:34
but never quite made it.
:37:36
Well, I guess he was just too idealistic.
:37:39
Fighting for lost causes. You better watch
your head when you come down.
:37:42
I've a feeling you're a lot like your dad.
:37:48
- I hope so.
- I know so.
:37:51
Why, you've declared war on Goliath.
You and your slingshot.
:37:57
- What?
- You fight for what you believe in.
:37:59
I like that. I'd like to believe I'm like that.
