Blue State Page #3

Synopsis: On the eve of John Kerry's 2004 defeat, campaign volunteer John Logue, canvasing in Ohio, says he'll move to Canada if Bush wins. His pledge gets televised, so when John returns to San Francisco - where his old job and girl-friend evaporate - his friends expect him to deliver on the promise. He gets a call from marryacanadian.ca, accepts their invitation to come to Winnipeg, interviews traveling companions, picks Chloe (she with a nose ring), and sets out. Both John and Chloe have secrets, revealed one at a time, and Winnipeg in 2004, with men and women willing to help US ex-pats gain citizenship, may not be what either needs. Echoes of the Vietnam war help them decide.

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 jamn.

I think it's an English name.

No one's ever pointed that out to you?

Hamon, jamn?

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 f***ing 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.

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 f*** 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
