Amy.
It's Dad.
Dad?
Why are you here?
I came down from Canada.
I've come to take you home.
What do you mean?
- Well, I mean...
- Where's Mum?
Tell me.
Mum died, didn't she?
There was a foot of snow here
when I left.
I apologise for the mess.
I haven't had a...
I haven't had a chance to clean up.
I've been really busy with, you know,
this, that, the other thing.
I haven't done any work to speak of
on the house in nine years.
It'll be really nice
once it's all finished.
Trunk. I'll get the trunk.
Well, the bed looks nice.
I ran out of storage space
in the workshop.
I'll clear the junk out
in the morning.
- Make it just like you remember it.
- I don't.
You don't what?
Remember it.
I'm really tired.
Yeah.
Good night.
You didn't think I could fly, did you?
What did you think?
I wouldn't go and brag about it.
Oh, well, that's actually
He's headed to a museum in Montreal.
I was thinking:
A goatee or clean-shaven?
Give him a beard.
Then he'll look like you.
I'm gonna be real busy.
I'm behind.
I gotta deliver him and...
I'm gonna be in the shop a lot.
Okay?
I'm not a baby.
You don't have to hold my hand.
- What's that?
- I won an award for that.
From the Canadian Society
of Inventors. Not bad, eh?
- What is it?
- It's a refrigerator.
Very original.
Moo goo gai in a pan.
It's real easy to make.
It says so right here.
You like peanut butter? Remember,
it had a real peanutty taste?
- I'm not eating that.
- The peanut butter makes it good.
The peanuts, there's
an oil thing that happens.
Why is a spaceship in the barn?
That's the Lunar Lander.
Remember when I built that?
It was the winter...
...you and your mom...
You and your mom left.
Remember, she thought
I was too.
I had no money and a busted ankle.
Colder than hell.
But I just couldn't get over
that whole moon trip.
Why did you build it?
The Lunar Lander, think about it.
The original one.
They left it there. It's parked.
So we needed another one.
So I made an exact replica.
Yeah. Every home should have one.
I've been offered a lot for that.
Hi.
You must be Amy.
Hey, how you doing?
This is Susan, a friend of mine.
This is for you.
It's a welcome...
...gift. Welcome.
Do you live here too?
Well...
Yes, I do.
Sometimes I do.
Excuse me.
So, what's cooking?
So! That went well.
- Clearing the corner,
fixing the bed, the flowers...
...and everything.
I mean, it's just great.
- No problem.
- We were really beat when we got back.
She's different
than I thought she'd be.
More complicated.
She used to travel all over
and tour with her mother.
Singing in a club in Tokyo.
A week later, recording in London.
They were on the move a lot.
Get out of here!
What do you think you're doing?
Hey! What do you think you're doing?
We haven't had the meeting yet!
We haven't voted!
You're totally illegal!
I'm gonna get a lawyer
and sue your ass!
Amy.
Amy, look.
but these people...
They want to build this development.
We've been fighting them because
it's going to ruin the community.
I don't care.
Yeah, well, okay. I just wanted
to explain it you. That's all.
I don't care about any of it.
I'm not going back to school anymore.
- I'd rather die than go back there.
- Amy.
Why did all this have to happen?
Who are you?
They were coming at me
through the frozen food section.
It was just truly awful.
Their lips were so blue.
- Oh, wow! You gotta be Amy.
- Yeah.
I gave you Silly Putty
for Christmas once. You ate it.
You remember, Tom?
She took a bite of a slipper once.
Swallowed it.
What's he doing here?
He's your uncle.
Tom uses me as his beast of burden.
I lug pig iron for Michelangelo.
- That's the bus.
- Dad, no.
- Books, shoes, hat, bag.
- No, no, Dad.
- Where's your bag?
- Wait, listen...
David's got the bag.
- Homework!
- Dad, I've got...
- We're coming. We're coming!
- Dad!
- Okay, go.
- Just wait a minute.
You're going to school. You belong
in school, every day. Period. Go!
- Go, go, go, go.
- Oh, Dad!
Today, I want to move on
to another important figure:
Sir Allan was elected...
...to the Upper Canada
Legislative Assembly...
...in 1830.
He was its speaker...
...from 1837 to 1840...
...while the Tories
were in the majority.
And he was the Prime Minister...
... of the United Colony...
... from 1854 until 1856...
Amy!
Hi.
Hey. How'd it go today?
- Sorry to hear that.
It'll be better tomorrow, I'm sure.
Susan and I are going to a meeting.
Uncle Dave is gonna stay
and feed you...
...help you with your homework.
Math tonight, right?
- We'll be home by 10.
- Don't worry.
Be in bed by 8:
30!What, decimals? Fractions?
Math can be really fun.
It really can.
Call him on that!
By destroying the marsh, they've
accomplished their objective...
...which is, there's
nothing left to save.
It's a done deal.
And it's an outrage!
There are laws against this.
I want to know who amongst you
The Chair recognises Sam Tufts.
Sir...
...I'm proud to be one
of the "they" you speak of.
As a farmer, I don't have
the luxury of an outside income.
My land is part of the package
because I can't make a living off it.
If I don't sell, how will I
send my kids to college?
The Chair recognises Glenn Seiferts.
I'd like to say it's not
this project that worries me...
...as much as the ones
that'll follow in its wake.
I don't believe many of you
want this to happen.
I wish you'd consider the fields
and streams your children play in.
The clean air, the clean water...
And let's not forget the animals.
They're on the brink of leaving here
forever if this permit is passed...
... so think about it.
- But you tried!
- I have enough to deal with.
- I've got enough on my...
- Shh!
Hey. How you doing?
What time did she go to sleep?
What time did she go to sleep?
Amy!
Amy!
I don't even remember falling asleep.
Well, now we know why
she was going to the marsh.
- Is it okay for her to sleep here?
- Oh, yeah. She'll be okay.
Can I keep them? Please?
Hi, guys.
Good morning.
You've got to feed them
every two hours.
Okay.
And they need a lot of attention.
What they need is to learn
where to poop.
Come on, they're just babies.
Look, they're not going to be able
to stay in the house.
If you put them outside, owls and cats
will get them. And they'll die!
- There's your bus. You've gotta go.
- Are you sure you can handle this?
Yes, I'm sure. Okay?
Go to school. Go. Now!
I hear they postponed
building for a year.
Who knows? I don't believe it.
My daughter found some goose eggs
in that mess.
They wiped out some birds
when they went through there.
They hatched, now I've got fuzzballs
in my house. I don't know what to do.
