You don't have to come
if you don't want to.
I want to, but I have
Mom, what's this?
- Peanut butter.
Peanut butter and jelly.
What kind of jelly?
Zucchini jelly.
Five, six, seven!
How we doing?
We're doing fine, Walter.
I wish we could afford
to keep you full time.
So do I, especially now.
Hmm. ls the divorce final yet?
- Yes, today. Thank you.
- Hmm.
Let's put our heads together and
maybe we can work something out.
All right.
Uh, horns up.
One, two, three, four...
five, six, seven.
O beautiful for spacious skies
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Well, wonderful.
Thank you very much, Felicia.
We appreciate your taking the time
to be here with us today.
Ladies and gentlemen, a big hand
for our most prominent selectman...
or selectwoman or selectperson,
Felicia Alden.
Thank you, children and Mrs. Spofford.
I can see we have our work
cut out for us.
In these days of
disintegrating values...
and lost mores...
when our children
are exposed daily...
to the hazards of divorce, separation
and families torn asunder...
it's comforting to think back
to the days...
when a family like the Lenoxes
strove together.
Those values, embodied
in a man like Major Lenox...
They were men who labored
all their lives...
well-fed and clothed and educated.
The families endured great hardship...
Yet kept their honor...
their dignity and their faith in God.
We are the same people;
the same body, the soul...
the hands and the feet
of our fathers...
fighting the wars of modern vice.
What was it that tied
these people together?
What was it that made them...
not a loose gathering of individuals,
but a single bond?
That bond that held them together,
as it holds us together today.
That bond that has stood every test...
is found deep in our consciousness.
An abiding love of liberty.
For love of liberty, our forbearers...
colonies few in number and
with little to defend themselves...
fought the war for independence...
what was then the world's
most powerful empire.
For love of liberty...
those who came before us
tamed a vast wilderness...
and braved hardships...
Tamed a vast wilderness
and braved hardships...
which at times were
beyond the limit...
Braved hardships, which at times were
beyond the limit of human endurance.
Come on. Go with your morn. Go on.
Liberty must not be taken for granted.
We thank God for our blessings...
Oh, hi, come on in.
Janey, come on!
Do you believe it's raining?
Duh, no.
I mean, since this morning.
The same boring, sanctimonious speech.
I thought he'd go on forever.
I was praying for something to happen.
- I was thinking the same thing.
- You were?
I was thinking we're all wet and
how nice it would be to just leave.
- Were you really?
- Yeah.
And then it rained.
He's a liar and a lech
and he deserved it.
No, I'm not talking about Walter.
Don't you think it's strange
that we were...
We were thinking the same thing
at the same time? So what?
It won't get us on David Letterman.
- I know, I...
- Let's just have a drink.
Good idea, Janey, party-baby!
You know, he made
a pass at me last week too.
- Walter? Oh, please.
- I can't even stand to think about it.
Be prepared.
He does not give up easily.
It was broad daylight and his wife
was standing ten feet away!
