FADE IN:
EXT. FIREHOUSE - DAY
Ann is walking down the street. The firedog runs out of the
firehouse, she gives the dog a biscuit, and pats him on the
head.
The fireman is out front with a cup of coffee. Ann hands him
a poster.
EXT. STATE AND MAIN - INTERSECTION - DAY
Morris and Spud, two codgers, are about to cross the street
when they hear a beeping and stop.
As they cross, we see the tail end of a van, and the group
nods in that direction.
MORRIS:
You hear that?
SPUD:
Yes, I hear it.
MORRIS:
Drive a man to drink. Took me near
half an hour, get across the street
yesterday.
SPUD:
I saw Budgie Gagnon, leaning on the
bank of the building. Said, "What
are you doin'?" He said, "I'm waitin'
for the 'leven o'clock crossing..."
As Morris and Spud speak a car is coming down the street,
and bounces in the pothole.
MORRIS:
Ywanna fix something, you should fix
the pothole. Yessir, they should be
trussed up, thrown off some high
building.
DOUG MACKENZIE, a young Republican type, walks up to join
them.
DOUG:
Who's that?
MORRIS:
Whoever spent ten, f'teen thousand
dollars, a new traffic light, you
could grow old, paint your house
before it lets you cross the street,
and then, not fix the pothole.
SPUD:
What was wrong with the old traffic
light?
INT. COFFEECORNER - DAY
They enter the Coffeecorner. Carla is serving the folk, and
Jack the owner is behind the counter.
DOUG:
I'm glad you asked... I'll tell you
what was wrong with it. And what was
wrong with it was it was behind the
times. Now:
You want to bring businessinto this town? You have to plan for
a Waterford that does not exist. Not
at the moment, no...
ANN:
Morning, darling.
DOUG:
Morning.
CARLA:
Hi, Annie.
ANN:
Morning, Carla.
Doug and the two codgers move to a table by the window where
Carla, the nubile waitress, brings them coffee. Ann talks to
a woman at the counter.
MORRIS:
...the damn thing...
