:43:02
We don't have to ask those kinds
of questions, do we, Mom?
:43:05
- No, honey.
- What happened to the cat, Albert?
:43:07
H-How'd you know
about my cat?
:43:10
- The cat was killed by curiosity.
- Right. That cat.
:43:13
- What do you do?
- I'm the director of the Open Spaces Coalition.
:43:16
- We fight suburban sprawl.
- What's suburban sprawl?
:43:19
Ask Steven. He could have used a little
suburban sprawl in Sudan.
:43:21
Excuse me, Dad?
:43:24
Industry, houses,jobs,
restaurants, medicine--
:43:26
You can preserve a lot of open spaces
and have jobs for people with--
:43:29
- I beg your pardon, Albert. I wasn't finished.
- Sorry, sir.
:43:32
Clothes, videos, toys, cheeseburgers, cars,
a functioning economy.
:43:35
You can still have a functioning economy and
preserve open spaces with a little planning.
:43:39
- Yeah.
- Socialism. Complete disaster.
:43:42
- Theodore Roosevelt was a socialist? And Yeats?
- Theodore Roosevelt--
:43:45
Henry David Thoreau, Robinson Jeffers,
the National Geographic Society, all socialists?
:43:49
-You're talking about socialism.
-No, I'm not. I'm talking about...
:43:52
not covering every square inch
with houses and strip malls...
:43:55
until you can't remember what happens
when you stand in a meadow at dusk.
:43:58
- What happens in the meadow at dusk?
- Everything.
:44:01
- Nothing!
- Everything!
:44:03
- It's beautiful.
- It's beautiful.
:44:05
I work for an electrical
engineering firm, son.
:44:07
We do a lot of commercial
and residential contracts.
:44:09
If development stops,
so does my paycheck.
:44:12
Then Steven couldn't be here as our guest,
could he? So your ideas hurt Steven.
:44:15
I'm not hurting Steven.
That's an outrageous accusation.
:44:17
- Don't use that tone of voice in my house.
- I think you started that tone.
:44:21
And I think it's entirely possible for your
engineering firm to have jobs for people...
:44:24
preserve open spaces,
have contracts, do the--
:44:29
[ Boy Laughs ]
Whoa.
:44:30
[ Boy Laughs ]
Whoa.
:44:32
- What's he doing?
- Why's he closing his eyes?
:44:35
[ Whispering ]
Cricket, I don't know.
:44:38
- Do you have a job, Tom?
- I'm a firefighter.
:44:41
Oh, God bless you. A hero.
:44:43
I'm not a hero. We'd all be heroes if we
quit using petroleum though.
:44:48
- Excuse me?
- Say you're Christians living
byJesus' principles. Are you?
:44:51
Jesus is never mad at us if we
live with him in our hearts.
:44:54
I hate to break it to you, but he is.
He most definitely is.
:44:57
All right. That's enough. Steven, I don't know
what this is about. Why they're here--
