- Thank you, Tom.

Honey, you know what I mean.

- Of course, I'm ugly.

- Sheryl!

- At least she doesn't have your ears.

- Don't start with my ears!

What about the factory, Mr. Mayor?

Enjoy your holiday, buddy.

You leavin' me?

I'm not leavin' you, Murray.

I'm goin' to work.

We're this close to

gettin' a doctor.

I don't like what

we've become, Murray.

These are tough times.

It's not the times.

It's us. I don't recognize us.

Barb!

This is it, Simon.

This is it. I'm leavin'.

Will you come visit me in town?

Nope.

Simon.

- I'm afraid of flyin'.

- Yeah, well, drive down.

I don't drive.

I'm serious. I'm gonna need you to

come visit me from time to time.

I won't.

Take the bus.

I do not know how to take the bus.

Well, then how do you go to town?

I've never been to town.

- Never?

- No.

You've never been to town?

Nope!

Lucky dog.

Lucky dog.

Welcome to St. John's

International Airport.

For passengers making

a connecting flight...

No, no...

Okay, no, I'm not still drunk.

No, I'm not.

Babe, honestly, I don't know

what else to say. I said I'm sorry.

I'll say it again, I'm sorry.

I unfortunately missed my flight.

I just paid an astronomical

amount of money

to get on the next, which I will.

I have 35 minutes to

make my connection.

Bye, Paul.

- Hey, boss.

- Hey.

Hold on one sec.

- Can I get you to go this way, please?

- What?

- Just over this way.

- No, no, no, sir.

- This way, sir.

- I got a connection.

Just over here, sir.

Right. That's awesome. This is good.

Shorts.

That's a shirt.

Those are, uh, cricket balls.

- Cricket?

- Yeah, I play cricket.

Just won a tournament. Hence the

trophy and the hangover, sir.

I'm kind of in a rush, you know?

- I got a flight to catch...

- Sir, please.

Sir, I'm a doctor, okay?

I'm due for surgery,

and while you're itemizing my toiletries,

there's a young child named Jimmy

that's pondering his

future as an amputee.

He might lose his leg, sir.

Jimmy might lose his leg,

and I need to leave

immediately for Jimmy's sake.

Right now, sir.

Now, now! Right... Okay...

Okay, that's cocaine.

That's cocaine. Okay?

And I just finished my residency

as a plastic surgeon,

and I am damn good and I can

fix anything you want for free.

Free of charge, pro bono.

Maybe on your wife perhaps?

Maybe she needs a fresh bosom,

maybe a tuck to her rear,

make it sing again.

I can work miracles, sir.

Maybe I could fix...

I could fix your ears.

Don't start with my ears.

- So you're a doctor.

- Yes, sir.

Where is everyone?

It's that bloody traffic again.

Sweet Jesus!

Hear ye, hear ye!

Hear ye, hear ye!

Hear ye, goddammit, hear ye!

Okay, I'm gonna tell you one
