WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT'S GOOD, ISN'T IT?

ISN'T IT GOOD?

YES. MM.

YES, MEL, PLEASE DO TELL US

WHAT YOU THINK.

UH... ACTUALLY,

IT'S... INTERESTING.

THERE'S DEFINITELY

A MARKET FOR IT.

I'M JUST A LITTLE CURIOUS,

THOUGH.

HOW DO YOU...

BURN ANY CALORIES?

THE WHOLE POINT OF BIKRAM

IS TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS,

TO EXPEDITE.

EXCUSE ME. THE WHOLE POIN OF YOGA IS TO SLOW DOWN

AND STRETCH AND BREATHE.

YEAH, IF YOU HAVE TIME TO

SLOW DOWN, STRETCH, AND BREATHE.

GIVE ME THAT THING.

MOM.

IS THERE AN APP FOR STOPPING

TO SMELL THE ROSES?

THAT'S WHAT I WANNA KNOW.

MM, YES. AND MOM TELLS ME THA YOU'RE STAYING FOR THANKSGIVING.

I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE

GOING TO THE BAHAMAS

WITH YOUR FRIEN--

(thud)

THE BAHAMAS?

I-I ASSUMED THAT YOU WERE

STAYING HERE WITH US.

(sighs) I DIDN'T REALIZE

THE DATES WHEN I BOOKED IT,

AND NOW, UH, YOU KNOW,

THE TICKETS ARE PAID FOR.

SO...

WELL, I GET IT.

I MEAN, THAT--THAT'LL BE FUN

WITH YOUR GIRLFRIENDS.

I JUST WISH:

IT WASN'T THANKSGIVING.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA JUS BE DOING THE SAME OLD STUFF

WE DO EVERY YEAR ANYWAY, SO...

IT'LL BE FUN.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

I KNEW:

SHE WAS GONNA CRY.

YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST TOLD HER

YOU WERE GOING WITH A BOYFRIEND.

SHE WOULD'VE... DRIVEN YOU

TO THE AIRPORT HERSELF.

MM. UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU DON' WANT CARTER TO KNOW.

I DID HEAR:

THAT HE STOPPED BY.

OH, REALLY?

MM-HMM.

GOOD OLD CARTER.

STILL SINGLE.

(thud)

OW.

(indistinct conversations)

(gavel bangs)

(woman) AT THIS TIME,

WE'D LIKE TO MOTION FOR A VOTE.

SAVE NOW HAS MADE

A NEW GENEROUS OFFER

FOR THE PROPOSED SITE,

AND I THINK WE ALL AGREE THAT--

MAYOR GORDON,

WE HAVEN'T AGREED ON

ANYTHING EXCEPT THA MOST OF US DON'T WAN THAT STORE

IN OUR BACKYARD.

(crowd cheers and murmurs)

(applause)

LET'S LET MEL SPEAK.

(conversations fade)

(sighs) IT'S EASY TO FORGE THAT THIS IS NOT JUS AN ECONOMIC ISSUE.

IT'S EMOTIONAL.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT JOBS.

IT'S ABOUT IDENTITY.

THIS IS MY HOME, TOO.

I LOVE STREETSVILLE,

JUST LIKE THE REST OF YOU.

IT'S THE VERY DEFINITION

OF HOMEGROWN--

THE SHOPS, THE FOOD...

THE WAY OF LIFE.

IT'S REALLY SOMETHING

TO BE PROUD OF.

BUT BUILDING:

A SAVE NOW MEGA STORE

IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE THAT.

OUR PHILOSOPHY IS TO EMBRACE

THE IDENTITY OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

THEN WHY DID BOTH

NEIGHBORING COUNTIES

REJECT YOUR PROPOSAL?

(crowd clamors)

I'LL TELL YOU WHY.

BECAUSE A NEW SAVE NOW

IS GONNA BRING IN

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

FROM SURROUNDING TOWNS.

(crowd clamors)

NEXT THING YOU KNOW,

THE STATE IS GONNA APPROVE

A HIGHWAY COMING THROUGH HERE,

AND THEN:

OUR TIGHT-KNIT COMMUNITY

IS GONNA BECOME JUS ANOTHER ANONYMOUS SUBURB.

THESE BULK STORES--

THEY SELL EVERYTHING.
