Corner Gas: The Movie Page #4

---

Anybody like to volunteer

to mow public spaces?

Unbelievable, these people.

Davis, I don't know

if anyone explained to you

what "retired" means, but you get to not

be here anymore.

I just came by to pick up

a few of my things.

Besides, I'm not really retired with no

pension.

Now I've got to find

another job.

Like what?

I don't know.

I thought maybe we could, uh, put our

feet up and kick back,

and you can help me

think this through.

Sorry. I've got a family

to support now.

If Dog River shuts down,

I'm gonna have to get a cop job

somewhere else.

And no one is gonna hire me

if my ticket quotas are so low.

So no more games, naps,

or matinee movie days.

There it is.

But I brought ice cream.

I can't stand around here

eating ice cream.

Ugh.

What are they feeding you?

Man, people are losing their marbles

after that town meeting.

Well, people fear

what they don't understand.

You must be

perpetually terrified.

We entrepreneurs

always say that,

"When a door opens,

it's time to close a window...

of opportunity. "

I got a ton of ideas

on how to capitalize on this,

and with my brains

and your money, we can't miss.

Yeah, but you don't have

my money.

Or much of the other stuff.

Wheels are turning.

Like, we could

set up a pipeline,

you know, like for oil, but for water,

from a place with water,

and so then

we would have the water,

and we'd be the ones

charging for that water.

And that's just one idea.

That's not an idea.

That's just you saying

the word "water" 12 times.

Now I got to pee.

So, you're telling me you're not gonna

invest in my ideas?

You come up with an actual idea, I'm all

over it.

Hey, here's an idea.

Why don't you fix the leak

in your truck?

Then you won't have to

keep buying this oil.

Oh, uh... I'll get you.

Hey, I hope you don't mind

me taking these boxes.

I'm taking them anyways.

Just hope you don't mind.

- What do you need all these for?

- To pack for my move.

Move?

Don't tell me you're buying into this

"Dog River is dying" crap.

Oh, I didn't

make this decision lightly.

But I got to think about my kid

and scrounging up the deposit for his

tuition.

My cousin says I can

stay with her for a while,

so that'll help.

She'll even get me a job

at her dry-cleaning shop.

Well, look, I'll...

I'll give you a raise.

25... no, 30 cents an hour, every hour.

Ooh, that's a generous offer.

Actually, it's pathetic,

but it's heartfelt.

Well...

Well, you can't have these.

They have red licorice

in the city.

Maybe, maybe not.

Soup, sandwich, and a coffee?

Every day?

Oh, come on, Mike, you're hauling

garbage, not plutonium.

Lookit, we all have to do our...
