Blue State Page #4

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.

- He'll be gone in four years.

- And then we get to get ready for Jeb.

This country is too conservative.

And it's not gonna change any time soon.

And you're really gonna give up

your American citizenship?

That's my plan.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Here, let me help you with that.

Nah, I got it.

- Ready to hit the road?

- Yep.

I was thinking maybe we'll stop

and pick up some groceries and a cooler.

I don't know your financial situation, but...

No, no, that's good. That's great.

Okay.

'Cause it can get kind of tense,

two people traveling together,

if they're on totally separate budgets,

you know.

One person wants to go

to the finest restaurants in town...

No, no, no, I totally agree.

Good, I'm really glad to hear you say that.

If you open the glove compartment there...

What is this?

That is a budget I put together.

It's got meals, gas, hotel rates,

tolls along the route.

And also, I mapped out the best route

to take. There it is.

Thanks. Thanks for doing this.

You're welcome.

Good to know

you've got everything under control.

Yeah, well, I think it's best to do that

before each trip.

You know, before each adventure,

so to speak.

Should we stop for gas?

Yeah, but we gotta wait

for a Coorco station.

Why?

Coorco is a Venezuelan company.

No support for Middle East oil, right?

I know, Chavez is no saint,

but at least he cares about his people.

What if we don't pass one?

No, we will. I mapped out

all the locations along the route.

If you go to the tab marked "gas. "

There it is.

This is really detailed.

It's a program on the computer.

It's just a spreadsheet, but...

It's more for fun, I do it. But I enjoy it.

Are you a vegetarian?

- Me?

- Yeah.

No.

Huh.

Are you?

Yeah.

That'll be $7.55, please.

All right, there you go.

All right, here's your change.

You wanna drive for a while?

Isn't it stick?

Yeah.

I can't drive stick.

What?

I don't know how.

But the flier said you needed to know

how to drive stick.

Didn't it say standard?

Standard is stick.

Oh, I thought standard was regular.

No, there's automatic and there's stan...

You know, forget it.

It's my fault,

I forgot to ask you about it when we met.

I've been meaning to learn.

People are always ragging on me.

Yeah, it's okay.

You know, we never actually talked

about the rooming situation.

Oh, right. Yeah.

You know, if we were gonna get

one room or two.

I mean, I don't care either way.

Me neither.

Okay. Good.

How about, if they have single rooms

with two beds, we take that,

but if they only have rooms with one bed,

then we spring for two rooms?

Sure, or whatever... I could sleep

on the floor. If we wanna save money.
