Corner Gas: The Movie Page #3

Lacey's right.

Where's Fitzy?

Yeah!

Where's Fitzy?!

There he is.

Hey! Fitzy!

Let me get this straight.

You invested the town's money

in real estate...

in Detroit?

It was really cheap.

I didn't think

it could get any cheaper.

It can, by the way.

How much did we lose?

Somewhere in the neighborhood of... all

of it.

- What?

- Everything?!

That explains the water

and the power, then.

I've been using the contingency fund to

keep the power on.

But that's all gone.

And the water pump

is on its last legs.

So how much debt

are we talking about?

Ballpark?

A hell of a lot.

It shouldn't be that much

for a stupid ballpark!

Oh, sit down

and play with your stick.

This is insane. We didn't even have the

money to begin with.

Whoa, whoa! Wait, wait.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

So what happens now?

Well, we really only have

two choices here.

One, we unincorporate the town,

and Dog River

basically disappears.

Or...

three dusty boots in a row,

and we're back in business.

I got a couple of dusty boots for ya!

Aah.

And you wonder

why I don't like town meetings.

This isn't good.

That's what you get for ordering clam

chowder in the prairies.

Not the soup.

The situation.

If we have to leave, it'll be far away

from our only son

and his future wife

and our beautiful grandchildren.

What grandchildren?

We're not going anywhere.

We're staying here

and living off the land,

like our ancestors.

Your grandfather died

in a go-kart accident.

Oh, Brent, talk some sense

into your father.

I don't think

there's enough words.

We might have to move

and sell the house

while there's still value in it.

He wants to stay, do nothing.

Not do nothing.

Fish with a spear.

Well, for what it's worth...

- Aargh!

- What's the matter?

It's just a shock to the system whenever

I agree with Dad.

Okay, listen, everyone!

I just got off the phone

with Brian Rainville.

He's a plumber in the city.

He gave me a quote

to fix the water pump.

Now, it isn't cheap, but if

we all pitched in, then...

A few hundred dollars each

to have clean running water

is too much to ask?

Listen, people, this town

is gonna be nonexistent

if we don't do something.

No, I think

we'll probably be okay.

The key is not to panic

and overreact.

Ah, screw hiring someone.

We have to learn

to fend for ourselves.

I'm pretty handy with a wrench.

Unless he tries to use it

as a wrench.

Are you questioning

my abilities?

No, Dad, when it comes

to your abilities,

none of us has any question.

Sure, laugh it up.

You won't be so smart when the Four

Norsemen of the Apocalypse

come riding down Main Street.

Oh, come on!

We all have to pull together, people!
