to the town council, so...
Sorry, son. You know, some
other town business come up.
- We need the chairs.
- Uh, sir. I got it.
- Got what?
- The answer to our town's financial woes.
What, in there?
Historical tourism.
Take a look at that.
Ah.
And listen to this.
Oh, you got some tunes? No. No.
It's a multimedia presentation.
Here in Patriotville,
we have an abundance of history,
more than most places, in
fact. Well... Yeah, that's...
That's fine.
People love to learn about...
where they come from,
I've found.
- It's the feather.
- Huh?
Just my two cents.
Sorry about the chairs.
It's a grand
ambition. That's for sure.
But history is a grand subject.
And so, in conclusion,
Patriotville is a town
built for business...
your casino business.
Great job, Stove.
Have a sit.
Stove.
So, uh... We think we took
the standard deal on these things...
and, uh, really
upped it a notch.
Yeah. And, uh, then we...
took it up...
another notch.
- So, where did you say you chaps were from?
- Uh, here, originally.
Judge here's
a magician with the law.
Gonna grease this sucker
every inch of the way.
Gonna grease it like a watermelon
in a public pool, huh, Judge?
That's just a saying.
So, uh,
we ready to ink this?
Forty generations ago,
our tribe called
these lands home.
Our ancestors did not know that
promises could scatter like dust.
Now we know better.
When the vision of this casino rose
from the flames of our council fire,
I dreamed of an eagle.
What this eagle told me...
was that our future lies here...
Ah.
With your village.
Or your neighbor... the
village you call Sulfur Falls,
across the mountain.
The eagle is cautious.
Uh, we don't understand.
What don't you understand?
Bureau of Indian Affairs,
recognition of the Alguanqua Tribe,
Federal Indian
Gaming Commission license...
and a $20 million
equity agreement.
Our casino will save
your dying town.
So don't talk to us
of the standard deal.
The standard deal blows.
You have 24 hours
to make an honorable offer,
or we go across the mountain
to Sulfur Falls.
I have chosen my gift.
- What just happened here?
- Well, we got ambushed.
So you're telling me now we're in competition
with those hicks over in Sulfur Falls?
"F" that sh*t.
We weren't prepared.
We're gonna be.
I don't think he saw
an eagle in this area.
Yeah, I thought
they were into hawks.
This Indian sh*t...
that got really
"Indiany" in here.
He might have seen
an osprey.
They were talkin' about
a dream, you F-holes.
Oh, hey. Hello.
