New In Town Page #2

Where's the switch?

She seems nice enough.

I doubt she'll last a week.

Poor thing.

There you are.

I was starting to wonder.

I got lost.

You said it was around

the other side of the lake.

Every direction I went,

there was a lake.

That's not even a lake.

That's Luden Pond.

I turned around.

I found another lake.

Oh, I bet you went

to Van Meyer Slough.

And then I went left.

- That's actually a stone quarry.

But you made it.

Yeah.

Oh, Harve, company.

I didn't know whether

to get red or white.

But all they had

was Zinfandel anyway, so...

Oh, hell, anything you can uncork,

uncap or unscrew, I'll drink it.

This is my husband, Harve.

You'd think he's joking, but he's not.

Take your coat?

- Yes. Please.

That would be great.

Thank you.

You okay like that?

You're not too cold?

No. I'm fine.

Oh, okay,

because you look a little cold.

I'm fine.

Anyhow, there's someone

that I want you to meet.

I'm hoping that you hit it off.

If you do, it's gonna make your stay

here in Minnesota a lot more pleasant.

So, Lucy Hill, this is Ted Mitchell.

Damn.

Damn.

Oh, so it's a whole dinner party.

- Oh, yeah.

Lovely. Thank you.

How you doing?

You've got beer dripping

from your chin.

Awesome.

- Can I use your powder room?

You betcha. It's right through

the kitchen to the right.

Yeah?

- Lucy, we thought we'd open...

...that wine with dinner.

Would you like a glass?

Yeah, that would be great.

You know,

I actually am feeling a little chilly.

Would you mind

bringing my jacket?

Oh, you betcha.

God.

Blanche, this meatloaf is good.

- Oh, thank you, Ted.

So, Ted, do you live around here?

Yeah.

Yeah, I moved up here.

Little over 10 years ago.

Why?

I mean, not that it's not nice.

I'm sure.

But why?

Why not, you know?

What's so great about a city?

Well, I mean,

the cultural advantages alone.

Museums, opera, ballet, theater.

Not to mention nightlife.

Oh, yeah.

Do you know I was in a restaurant,

and Justin Timberlake walked in?

For real?

- Is he one of your MP3 fellas?

Oh, that's nice.

I thought all they had

was skinny supermodels...

...and Colombian drug lords.

Ted, that's terrible.

You know who else was there,

Bobbie?

Fergie.

I bet you like her music, huh?

My dad won't let me like that stuff.

Well, you seem old enough

to decide for yourself what you like.

Excuse me?

Women like that just selling

themselves as sex objects?

What kind of a role model is that

for young girls?

I think that any examples of strong

successful young women are vital.

And that's how you measure success?

By how provocative a woman can be?

We'll pass on that.

We'll listen to country.

Oh, the twangy drivel
