She was living in Sulfur Falls.

- My cousin Slinky at the, uh...

- Slinky?

Dude, he tried

everything on her.

No dice. Her knees are glued

together extra-virgin style.

Slinky'd say

that nobody's hit it.

Ever.

I'm gonna ask her out.

- No, no, no, no, no, no. What?

- Yeah.

- No, dude. Don't bother.

- Why?

Dude, just 'cause she looks like a

slut, doesn't mean that she is a slut.

And right now, you and I...

we need sluts.

That's my opinion.

Oh, hey. I got some

other news for you. What?

Dude, we're gettin' a casino.

Here?

Yeah.

This dipshit town's

about to win the lottery.

Everything's gonna change.

No way.

No way.

All right, dude. You don't have to believe

me, but my dad heard it from the mayor, so...

Okay. This is like the time the

Olympics were gonna come here.

The Winter Olympics.

Or what about...

when they were gonna move the Eiffel

Tower from Paris to Patriotville?

- That was true.

- Or Disneyland was gonna move in?

- Disneyland... they're still working on

the plans. - I don't believe a word of it.

- Are you kidding me?

- You don't have to believe me,

but my dad said

it's a done deal.

They don't... They don't get it. They don't

understand that our point of difference...

for the vacationing public is...

i-is our place in history.

They move some casino in here... some crap-ass

casino... it's gonna change the whole thing.

It's gonna ruin it all. We're gonna be like every

other sleazy casino town. They can't do that.

Maybe the town

would rather be rich...

than have a rich history.

I'll pretend like

you didn't even say that.

Dude, I heard one more thing. What?

One of the places that they were

talking about building the casino...

Yeah? Where?

At the...

At the battlefield,

where you work.

Come on.

Chief!

Here.

Christ.

You almost scared me.

I have an office, you know.

Corn comforts me.

Yeah.

Look, uh, I'm a bottom line guy.

Okay? Like yourself...

what makes us leaders.

Yeah. We're gonna, uh,

expand the acreage offer...

and enhance

all the financial terms.

And...

We're gonna make the lease

a dollar a year. Okay?

We're basically

gonna give it to ya.

These are the same wind-filled

promises of your rival.

Surely you can think of offerings

that would prove your worthiness.

There is a river

in our legend history.

The mighty Alguanqua.

There is no stronger

river anywhere,

because, in this river,

the water flows both ways.

The both ways river.

Yeah, can I get

back to you on that?

- Hello?

- Hey. Uh, it's Chase.

Hey. I have

a question for you.

Okay.

If you answer correctly,

you can ask me out.

If you want.

Do you want to ask me out?

Is that... Is that the question?
