:59:00
- Out of order.
- All right.

:59:03
I move that the broken parking meter
in front of Caldwell's store...

:59:07
which has never worked,
so that anyone who wants to park there...

:59:10
and maybe spend some money
in Caldwell's store...

:59:12
can do so without paying the parking fee,
be repaired.

:59:15
- Second.
- You went too fast.

:59:17
I'll repeat the motion.
:59:19
I move that the broken meter
in front of Caldwell's store...

:59:22
be made to operate by money
instead of a swift kick.

:59:25
- Yeah, second.
- Point of discussion.

:59:27
Chair recognises Matilda Runyon.
:59:29
You've kept that parking meter busted
on purpose ever since it was installed.

:59:33
We know it, and you know it.
:59:35
But before we vote on this motion,
I think we ought to remember one thing.

:59:38
Just about everybody in Cape Anne goes
to Caldwell's store just about everyday.

:59:42
He's got canned goods, dry goods,
fruit, vegetables, and he's got beer.

:59:46
Now wait a minute.
:59:48
If we vote
to have that parking meter repaired...

:59:50
we'll just be taking money
out of our own pockets.

:59:54
Any more discussion on the motion?
:59:57
- All in favour?
- Aye.

:59:59
- Opposed?
- No.

1:00:01
Motion defeated.
1:00:15
All right.
1:00:17
A little order, everybody.
1:00:24
I'd like to have it part of the record
that last night when Janey got old 97...

1:00:28
she put Cape Anne on the map
for the whole country to see.

1:00:39
- That's your opinion?
- It sure is.

1:00:41
Well, Otis, I'm glad you brought that up...
1:00:43
because I intended
saying something about that.

1:00:45
You see, I don't think that Janey Osgood
put Cape Anne on the map last night.

1:00:50
I think she wiped it off the map.
1:00:52
She just cast Cape Anne adrift, voters.
That's all she did.

1:00:57
- What are you getting at, Aaron?
- I'm coming to that, too.
