Future Weather Page #3
Anyplace is warmer
than the Himalayas, Ed.
The Himalayan glaciers
are actually melting faster than
any glacier in the world,
and over a billion people
depend on them for water.
- A billion.
- Hmm.
Your grandma hates
the cold, don't you, hon?
I live through it.
Every year, Ed.
Ree, did you know
is in Florida, and they have got
every kind of research facility
that you can think of.
As a matter of fact,
right next door to my condo
is the school for meteorology,
Which is global warming,
Right?
Weather patterns.
I'm more interested in
wilderness preservation.
Florida is a wilderness paradise.
Ree...
One of the sharpest kids
that I have ever met.
- What do you want to do?
- You just asked her that, Ed.
Well, no, Greta, I did not.
Whatever it is that
you are after,
you need to promise yourself,
make a promise to yourself
that you will try to get there.
In case you haven't
noticed, Ed,
we are not in the mood for one
of your motivational speeches
because we are
sucking lemons.
'Course, if we were Himalayan,
we'd be making lemonade,
and we'd be grateful.
What do you think, Ree?
underwater in 30 years, Ed.
Yeah, that book?!
That book now?!
Yeah, well, I thought the book
would be a good idea.
Just lookit.
She's interested.
- Death and Mayhem.
- I know, I know!
What do you wanna do?
There's so much
tension in this house.
I know.
You're smoking again!
I don't even want to know
what kind of a wreck
you would be
if you had to look after
little Caleb and Courtney
all by yourself.
called the police.
Right! Because if Mandy
or Tina disappeared,
that would mean that
they had been kidnaped.
Mine, on the other,
disappeared her own goddamn self!
She ran away, Greta!
Ed, she's a 30-year-old
woman, she's not a runaway.
is out of the question.
I didn't say that.
Well, Lauduree certainly
wasn't warm
to the idea of
moving to Florida.
Well... maybe it's better
if she just stays put.
What, so she can get
knocked up her junior year?
Ed, I'm just talking till
the end of the school year.
You could move in here.
My mom's coming back.
Whatever floats your boat.
...Weather will spell
economic disaster
for many local farmers,
as extreme draught continues to
plague the tri-state area.
Mustard or mayo?
Dry.
...Temperatures
in the upper 90s.
That the prices of corn
and soy could soar.
How 'bout plants?
Very good.
Local plant or flower?
I'm ready to help.
Awesome.
We're just getting ready
to do interviews.
Let's go.
Grab your backpack.
Okay.
Hi, I'm a member of the Central
School Science Club.
Would you have a minute
to tell us about
your favorite local
animal or insect?
I always loved
butterflies,
the yellow kind
that look like tissue.
Oh, and of course,
cicadas.
There's someone,
Lauduree. Go for it.
We're talking to people
in the community
- about how environmental
disruption... - Sorry.
I love horses.
I love horses.
It's a passion of mine.
I love to ride,
and, you know,
I used to ride, like,
english, western,
you know,
and then I went
into bareback.
I like snapping turtles.
this beautiful,
snowy-white egret,
and... but, you know,
you don't see them
around here anymore.
You know, I haven't
seen any in... 14 years.
They used to come around
every summer.
I used to be able to
catch lake sturgeon
this big across't.
I haven't caught any
like that in 20 years.
What are you laughing at?
Pigtoes!
All right, so...
looks like the...
Pleurobema Serlus.
Let me see.
"Habitats include
streams and creeks
Nature Preserve."
That's right by my house.
"They ingest algae, bacteria,
and other detritus
in the water."
They're natural filters.
They keep the water clean.
It says here that
they're in danger.
Maybe we've found the hero
to our food web, guys.
They're primary consumers.
Their ecosystem is fragile.
Their habitat is endangered.
Endangered doesn't mean they're
past the point of no return, right?
lived over a hundred years.
If you find one
in this draught,
you have a chance
at restoration.
Save the pigtoe!
Why not?
Hey, where did you buy
this lovely...?
They were on sale
at J.C. Penney!
Oh, he's taking advice
from strangers!
I can't believe you
bought this for me!
You should have
seen the girl!
What did you say?
I said, "Oh, she's
about this big, and..."
"and she's..."
well... just...
I think they thought
it was for me!
Wait a minute. I am going to go over
to meet the boys at the VFW.
Would you like
to buy a vowel?
- Oh. Hi, hon!
- What?
Hey! Hey...
She's a beauty,
ain't she?
Darling, would you like to
join us on the veranda?
Come on, Ree, come on!
Come on out!
Smells like a skunk.
Honey, stay out here
and celebrate with us.
I got an offer on
the house today.
I have homework.
Lauduree?
Hi.
Hi.
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm...
it's just allergies.
Global warming's increasing
pollen count.
- What have you got there?
- It's my oak.
I'm staying with my grandma
'cause my mom's out of town,
so I had to move it.
The experiment's dead.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Do you need someplace
to plant it?
I guess we were thirsty.
Yeah, I guess so.
The mint's from my garden.
I can give you a bunch
to take home.
Also, I thought
you could use this.
Sometimes it helps to have
a camera in the field.
It's just a point-and-shoot.
Hey, if there's anything you want
from your mom's room,
take it, 'cause the rest,
goin' to Goodwill.
Ms. Markovi...
says that if Science Club goes
well next year,
she's taking a group
of us to Guatemala
to do a community
outreach program there.
Is Miss Markovi
paying for this?
Miz. I don't know.
Well, why don't you ask
before she goes booking
trips to other countries.
Why don't you
have a carwash?
I'd pay a buck for
a good carwash.
everything that inhabits them.
Well, lucky for you,
you're gonna be in Florida.
Aren't you going to
eat your broccoli?
- You're a crank.
- Hmm?
Nothing.
I-I thought you said that you
wanted to be a vegetarian!
No. I said...
that confined animal
feeding operations
are the largest cause
of greenhouse gases,
and that we should only buy
I swear, you have
selective hearing.
Do not talk to me
that way, Lauduree!
"miss know-it-all attitude."
Now, if you're gonna be
living in this house...
I didn't ask to live here!
You're right.
Where are you going?
It's none of your business.
Shot of maker's.
Hey, you seen a girl named
Tanya in here lately?
She's about this tall,
blonde hair, blue eyes,
real cute figure.
Crystal's friend.
That's the one.
Nah, I ain't seen
here in a while.
