A Christmas Proposal Page #3

You don't know her.

She's new.

Oh.

We won't have any more outbursts

like that, please. Okay?

Uh, where is Mr. Malone?

Is he here?

Actually, we have a DVD.

Well, I-I was

under the impression

he was going to be

speaking for himself.

What does a DVD

have to do with this?

Well, I'll just turn it

over to you, Rick.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'd like to present

Mr. Alexander Malone.

Malone.

Progress.

Good evening,

ladies and gentlemen.

I just want to say

it's an honor

to be with you tonight.

I want to share

a vision that I have,

a vision for Fillmore...

Fillmore's past,

Fillmore's present,

and Fillmore's future.

Now I love

the intrinsic small-town

values that you have.

I really do.

And that's why I decided

to make it the site

of my newest development.

Now, I was looking around,

and I noticed that

there's something

really important missing.

Maybe you've seen it, too.

Snow.

Now you can't

call yourself a ski town

if you don't have snow.

No snow, no skiing.

No skiing, no customers.

No customers, no cash.

And why should we rely on Mother

Nature for our prosperity?

I mean, what has Mother

Nature done for us lately?

Earthquakes,

hurricanes, tsunami,

not to mention

global warming,

and it's real, folks.

Now here's my vision.

of the future of Fillmore.

A beautiful 5-star

resort and spa

open 12 months a year,

snow or shine,

packed full of people.

Busloads of senior citizens

driving up there.

Can't wait to spend

their Social Security checks,

great cell phone service,

free wi-fi, plenty of jobs...

I know what you're thinking.

We don't want to lose

our small-town charm.

We don't want

to become too rich.

Folks, that's what

I love about this place.

We're not going

to lose the charm.

And you can never

be too rich, believe me.

We're going to make it better.

That's right, together,

we're going to have

more small-town charm.

When you hear

the name Malone,

I want you

to think progress.

It has truly been my honor

to be with you this evening.

Thank you very much,

and I hope to see you all

in the future.

That was quite impressive.

Lisa, would you like

to make a rebuttal?

Yes, Mr. Mayor.

Please, Lisa.

Lisa.

Oh. I'm kind of nervous.

Hi, guys.

Um, so are we talking

about our town of Fillmore?

Or are we talking about

some new theme park?

But, Lisa, come on.

I mean, our schools

are overcrowded.

Our fire and police

department,

we really need equipment

that we can't afford.

I second that.

Right. And you know, so do I.

But there are ways

of finding funding,

without all of us

having to sell our homes.

We have always been a town

about helping each other,

a community,
