Little Pink House Page #4

Synopsis: A small-town nurse named Susette Kelo emerges as the reluctant leader of her working-class neighbors in their struggle to save their homes from political and corporate interests bent on seizing the land and handing it over to Pfizer Corporation. Susette's battle goes all the way to the US Supreme Court and the controversial 5-4 decision in Kelo vs. City of New London gave government officials the power to bulldoze a neighborhood for the benefit of a multibillion-dollar corporation. The decision outraged Americans across the political spectrum, and that passion fueled reforms that helped curb eminent domain abuse.

some important business

to discuss.

- C'est tellement vrai.

- I'm sorry?

So very true.

F*** you.

[TIM] I found the problem.

There's a tampon

- in your faucet.

- Really?

[TIM]

Yeah. Okay, well, I'm gonna go

to the hardware store

and pick you up a toilet kit

'cause your chain's

all f***ed up.

Oh, great. I'll just...

I'll pay you back whatever.

- Oh, man.

- This thing.

[HAMMERING]

How much is that thing?

I wanna pay you for that.

Fifty bucks.

[SUSETTE] Are you kidding?

That was in the junk pile

in the back.

That's not worth 50 bucks.

All right, it's got

a bit of rot. Maybe...

minus pizza,

beer...

- Twenty bucks.

- [SUSETTE] Okay.

And then if you go

to the hardware store,

I'll pay you back.

Here. Move.

We should probably stain that

before we start

hammering on it.

You know?

[SUSETTE]

I'm tired.

[CHARLOTTE]

New London Mills is ripe

for development.

All we need is

the right partner.

The city is hungry, Howard.

A project like this

would bring so much good

to so many people.

- There.

- [HOWARD] [CHUCKLES]

- It's funny.

- What's funny?

I don't know how much

David has told you

about what's going on over here.

Not a thing.

Well, I'll tell you,

since it's about to go

public very soon.

We've hit on something big.

So big that we're

gonna need to expand.

Oh, do tell.

What is it?

[MUSIC PLAYS]

[WOMAN]

Don't let erectile dysfunction

get in the way

of your golden years.

Millions of men struggle

with erectile dysfunction.

Get your prescription today.

Results may vary.

Talk to your doctor

about possible side effects.

- Side effects may...

- [SUSETTE] Tim?

Yeah?

- Voila. What do you think?

- Beautiful.

Yeah.

- I'm gonna kill them.

- Yeah.

Are you my permanent gardener?

All part of the master plan.

[SUSETTE]

[LAUGHS]

Here.

- Oh.

- Hmm.

- Lunch is ready.

- [TIM] Yeah?

Turkey, cigarette.

Do you have beer?

[SUSETTE]

I got two!

- [TIM] Yeah?

- [SUSETTE] Yeah.

[HOWARD]

Judging by the smell of things,

this is going to be

quite the cleanup job.

- Sorry.

- [CHUCKLES]

Well, I cringe to think

how much it would cost.

We're talking tens of millions

at least.

All right.

Well, hold on a moment.

Let's just look at the positive.

I mean,

you're right across the river.

Everything.

Everything is accessible.

Research facilities.

Hotel for guests.

I don't know, Charlotte.

I don't think this is the spot.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Do you realize Pfizer

could be New London's savior?

Pfizer is in the pharmaceutical

business, Charlotte,

not the savior business.

Besides, we need

far more space than this.

Thank you, Howard.

For what?

For telling me what you need.

[LAUGHS]
