- Citizens of Middleton,

my many, many supporters...

...friends and well-wishers,

today, I commence my first

term

as your newly elected mayor.

I shall bring the same

dedication to this office

as our previous mayor,

Ms. Cassie Nightingale...

with perhaps

a tad less mystery. Ha, ha,

ha!

But before we begin

a new era for Middleton,

let us welcome

to the podium

a woman who has

given us all

so very,

very much...

Our former mayor...

Cassie?! Oh!

Why must you always pop up

like that? My heart!

Mine too, Martha.

It's so full at

this special time.

What? Oh, yes!

Um... Let's start again

from the beginning.

It is a new beginning.

For both of us.

I thought that

rehearsal went well.

And thank you for the lovely tribute,

Martha, and for all the things you did for me

when I was mayor.

- Well, it is a big job, Cassie. Too much for most women.

If you need anything at

all, I will be there for you.

Now that the kids

are growing up...

Yes, yes, I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

- Madame Mayor.

We have a problem.

Well, that's why

I was elected!

Your Middleton Botanical

Gardens project...

It's going to cost

more than you thought.

Oh. Well, a thousand dollars

more here and there is...

$177.000.

What? Are you sure they didn't

misplace the decimal point?

Perhaps it's that waterfall you wanted.

- It's mostly the waterfall,

because the park

is totally flat.

I will raise that money

at our fundraiser

next week.

- Spoken in the spirit of a true leader.

In honor of your leadership,

Martha,

I'd like you

to have this.

It's from my shop.

How very... cute.

- It's a Kachina Doll.

Made by the Hopi Indians. It's a

carving of one of their old great chiefs.

"Old"?

The Chief will inspire you to

great leadership and good will.

Well,

where am I going to put

this lovely little...?

Oh, I know! Maybe right in

here,

just for safekeeping.

- I'll let you get back to work.

There is one other official

I'd like to thank before I go.

She was a great mayor.

I'm gonna miss her.

Cass! What are you doing

here?

I just dropped by

to say thank you

for all the great things you

did for me when I was mayor.

What kind of thank you

did you have in mind?

Hmm...

It's great to be appreciated.

Appreciate me more.

I would love to but I've

got to get back to my shop.

Did you find anybody to hire yet?

- Not yet,

but I'm sure the right

person will come along soon.

I hope so, because

you're going to be busy

with Brandon and Tara and

the...

Oh... Martha.

- Oh.

Hello, Martha.

Okay. Yeah.

I'll be there

in a minute.

Her first day as mayor, and

she's already driving me crazy.

What was I saying?

- About Brandon?

It seems like yesterday

he was our little boy.

I know. I know. And now he's

getting married in four months?

It'll be here

sooner than we think.

how fast she's growing, already off to school.

- Do you remember her first day,

how excited she was to go?

- And how misty-eyed I was.

I didn't want to let her go. I just

wanted to hold her and hug her forever.

She just walked in there, head

up, little Miss Independent.

She never even looked back!

- Yeah.

And we were a wreck.

With everyone

doing their own thing,

there are times lately when

the house feels so lonely.

This family will

always be close.

And you know why?

It's because of you, Cassie.

I shouldn't be

so melancholy.

After all,

things change.

For the better.

Like your new haircut.

Not a chance,

no way! It's not

happening, Martha.

This is the new look

for our police department.

New? No cop

has worn that in 100 years.

- Perfectly in keeping

with my new town slogan:

"Moving Forward,

Looking Back".

- Martha,

a police uniform

has to command respect.

Not laughter.

- Well, maybe you could...

Ah, ah, ah! This is

strictly

between me and

my Chief of Police.

I don't understand. Our uniforms

were fine for every other mayor.

Chief Russell, I am not

"every other mayor".

You can say that again.

- I'm sorry, what did you say?

I said... nothing,

Madame Mayor.

Grace?

Grace?

Come out, come out,

wherever you are.

Hi, Ms. Bryson!

There you go again.

Always popping up out of

nowhere. Just like your mother.

Come in.

Grandpa!

Ha, ha, ha!

Sorry I'm late.

- That's all right,

Mr. O'Hanrahan.

I had some paperwork.

And apparently Grace wanted

to play hide and seek.

Grace, you can play

when you're at home.

When you're at school, you

have to learn your lessons.

Why?

Because that's

what you do at school.

Actually, I do

encourage the children

to play as much as possible.

- You do?

Yes. Kindergarten is a place

where learning should be fun.

But they are learning...

reading? Writing?

And arithmetic. But the way we

teach it now is very different.

I see.

Actually, Grace has been very

interested in numbers lately.

Ask me a numbers question.

All right.

Pretend you have two

cookies.

The teacher takes

one cookie.

I take one cookie.

What's left?

Tears.

Well, she is correct,

in a creative kid's

kind of way.

But 2 minus 2

is still zero.

I know teaching methods

have changed...

And I need to change

with the times.

What I need is the best possible

education for my granddaughter.

And that's exactly

what I'm here for.

Grace, honey, I'll see you

in a few days, okay?

How come?

- We're closed for our Professional Development Days.

I see.
