Dante's Peak Page #5

Because this town's

in trouble.

I'm the best man

you've got.

Whiskey.

You are the best man

I've got.

Until you can understand that there

are delicate politics involved,

not to mention economics

you're only going to do these

people more harm than good.

I understand.

There you are.

Same again.

Tomorrow I'll hire a helicopter,

fly around the mountain,

take some COSPEC readings, see

how much sulfur dioxide is there.

Okay.

From now on,

everything comes from me.

Any more town meetings

to be called,

I'll be the one

to call them. Okay?

Okay.

Good morning.

Coffee?

Yes, please.

Cappuccino, espresso,

caffe latte?

Could I just have

a regular coffee?

Sure.

I heard you left town

last night.

Yes. Well,

I've decided to stay.

See what new trouble

I can get myself into.

So, what's good here?

Everything's good here.

Oh, my God!

I am so sorry.

It's okay.

It's all right.

I suppose I had that coming for

screwing up your re-election chances?

I didn't do it

on purpose.

I've always been better at figuring

out volcanoes than people and politics.

Anyway. I just

wanted to say I'm sorry

if I caused you any trouble.

I just wanted to help.

You like

eggplant Parmesan?

For breakfast?

For dinner.

I'm inviting you

over for dinner

to say thank you.

Thanking me for what?

For saving Graham's life,

and for caring.

It's a date.

Let's go down lower and head for

that rock formation over there.

If I fly during my lunch

break, I get overtime.

Just do it.

All right,

let's just hover here.

Okay, what you got back

there? How's it looking?

Minimal sulfur dioxide

emissions. Nothing to worry about.

We're green

across the board.

Harry, there's nothing to indicate

there's any kind of activity down here.

She's quiet.

Yeah

she's quiet.

Okay.

Which hand is

the domino in?

That one.

You've got it.

Here?

Yes.

Looks like a squished heart.

More like an appendix.

Neat.

Cool.

Can you do

any other tricks?

Maybe Harry's tired.

Just one more.

Here you go.

All right.

Look at that. No boogers.

But right down in here we have

a little sewing needle.

You see it?

It's magic.

And it needs a magic hair.

This won't hurt.

Yummy.

Okay, hold this, please.

Thank you.

Let me put my glasses on.

And we go

like this.

Thread it through.

Fine. You hold that.

Okay?

Look at that.

And there.

Much better.

And we go like this.

All right.

And go like that.

It really works.

It's magic.

I know it's just

a little town,

but I couldn't imagine

living anywhere else.

I grew up here.

I went to school here.

Got married here?

Yeah.

Brian.

We were just kids.

I haven't heard from him

in quite a while.

Quite a while.
