Yeah, it's really good.

Yeah, good.

Do you want some sun tea?

No, no, no, I really cannot.

Oh, okay.

So, all good?

- Yeah.

- Oh, yeah.

Oh, you need to get that?

No, no, it's fine.

It's fine.

Good, how's the box thing

you wanted to do?

Oh, you know, it's good.

I'm really, like,

mentally, like, fit,

but, like, I think

just distressing

that people don't care

about homemade,

hand-crafted cardboard boxes,

you know?

It's a beautiful process.

Oh, you need money.

Yeah.

Great, oh, yeah.

- There you go.

- Thank you.

Sweet,

so this is the Devastator.

I'm all out

of Crimson Nightshade,

but this is really similar.

Oh... um...

It is really similar.

It's, like, maybe

a bit more of an up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, no.

Sure, sure, sure.

It's just that

Crimson Nightshade

is, like, my special weed.

Well, you know, this is

pretty much the same thing.

I mean, I got

President's Choice.

I got Queen Latina,

Young Philosopher.

Corduroy Pillows,

They're Making Headlines,

Black History Month.

It's all, like, you know,

pretty mellow body-high stuff.

Yeah, well, see,

the thing is, like,

Crim Shade gets me these ideas,

like, I never otherwise

would have thought of.

Yeah.

Oh, Bennie, I'm so sorry.

- No, it's cool.

- Yeah, no.

It's cool.

I should have some by tomorrow.

Totally sorry.

I'll swing by then, yeah.

You can get that.

No, I'm gonna take off.

And I'll see you tomorrow.

Are you sure we can't

get you something?

No, I'm all good, thanks.

Yeah, thanks, Maddy.

No, I'll just see y'all

tomorrow, okay?

Yeah, yeah, tomorrow, sure.

Yeah, Crimson Nightshade.

Oh, sh*t, okay.

I got to run.

Yeah, you want me

to help you out?

Please.

The steps are uneven.

Yeah, I know.

Sometimes they catch

on bike wheels.

Bye.

Okay, bye.

You know what,

I got to talk to the city.

We need to, like, have

really much safer,

like, bike-friendly steps.

Baby...

Sweetie-pie...

Honey-bear...

I know, I know.

No, I know, it's just...

What?

I just really want...

Shh.

You know we can't.

Not us; We can't.

Hey, smart-ass.

I know you hit "ignore,"

because it's going

straight to voicemail.

Look, I have

a town council tonight,

but I need to talk to you

about your brother,

so call me back.

Okay, Hon, love you, bye.

Hey, Ms. Casserta.

You got another message from

that guy Dave Stuben again.

Oh, for Chrissakes,

that pain in the ass.

What should I do?

Ignore it.

How many times do I have to

tell that guy

the same thing

over and over again?

Should I respond to him?

What?

I just said ignore it.

I got to go to Wal-Mart,

pick up that crap

for the meeting.

Did you watch last night?

Teen Mom?

Yeah.

Can you believe Brooklyn?

She called the cops

on her f***ing mom.

Like, who does that?

Yeah, that, but...

she's giving out an award

at the MTV Movie Awards.

Her?

I mean, I guess

she's famous now, so...

Speaking of famous,

I forgot to tell you...

my dad gave me the money.

Awesome.

I'll tell Julian

you're ready for the recording.

What are you talking about?

What recording?

Oh, didn't I tell you

about getting on The Voice?

- Huh?

- Yep.

Gonna make my audition,

send it in,

and then I will be

on The Voice this season.

Ha-ha, yeah, right.

What are you gonna sing?

Brave by the artist

Sara Bareilles.

Ha-ha!

Ah-ha-ha!

Oh!

- F*** you, Christian.

- Enough.

Christian, go clean out

the walk-in.

Julie, keep restocking.

Katelyn, I want

to talk to you outside.

Oh, it's bright.

So... you got an audition

for The Voice.

Yeah.

What, they said

they'd just audition you?

'Cause that's usually

not how it works.

Yeah.

I'm sending in a recording,

and I will get an audition.

They told me that my last demo

was so good

but that it was too low-quality

'cause I did it on my iPhone,

so I get to do

a professional recording.

Okay, well, you know,

they probably get

a lot of submissions,

so I don't want you to get

your hopes up too high.

Yeah, thank you, Crystal.

They told me that as well.

Who?

Who said?

Who?

The person I spoke to.

The receptionist?

That's funny.

No, not the receptionist.

I don't know her exact

president title, or whatever.

The person that works there.

Okay, well,

I just want you to know

it's not that easy, Katelyn.

Crystal...

No, I mean, they don't

care about you at all.

These shows just use you

and drop you

the second they don't

have any use for you.

Sweetie,

that was Star Search Junior,

and that was a long time ago.

This is The Voice.

It's totally different.

Wash your hands.

Hey, girl.

Hi, Cory.

Dude, do you want something?

Like...

Yeah, I was wondering...

Gotcha, b*tch!

And I was like, "Hello!"

Cars are fishtailing everywhere.

I don't care

if it's not your department.

I'm gonna keep calling

until somebody does something

about this.

So anyway,

I made another phone call

to the other department

and said that it's time for

something to be done about this.

And I called

the police department,

and they said

it wasn't an emergency.

And I said...

Time.

"What do I have to do,

wait until I kill somebody?"

Time, Mrs. Torelli.

Thank you.

Dave Stuben.

Dave Stuben, 16 Boylston Street.

Good evening,

President Casserta,

trustees, citizens.

Dave, I want to remind you...

Thank you for the right to

speak without interruption!

I would appreciate it

if you didn't yell at me, Dave.

Reset the timer.

Dave.

Upon my behalf,

I want it noted in the record

that this is

an official complaint.

We're not gonna do that, Dave.

Okay, then I want it noted

in the record that, once again,

I was denied

my unalienable right

from the Constitution

and Declaration of Independence.

Terrific, noted.

Okay.

So... February 6th, last year,

for the record,

I said to Mr. Hurlickson,

I said, "Go get

geothermal desalinization."

And you did not bring this up to

the water department, did you?

And now I notice,

driving through town,

that there is garbage

everywhere, everywhere.

Just like Mr. Hernandez said,

yeah.

And it's a disgrace,

because anybody driving

through our town

would assume that it's

just a great big slum.

And Liberty has gotten

really ugly since the snow melt

after the St. Patrick's Day

snowstorm.

Have you noticed?

Have you noticed?

And there's potholes.

Potholes everywhere,

Ms. Casserta.

There are potholes

on my street, Boylston Street,

and there are potholes on...

Chandler Street

and Benton Avenue...

and...

Willow Street.

Potholes on Willow Street.

And Railroad Avenue.

And the list goes on and on.

There are potholes everywhere.

And I think it's a disgrace

that the DPW

did not go out to where I live

and manage the overflow

on my street, Boylston Street.

And they never plowed my street,

Ms. Casserta.

They never plowed it.

And there was a veterinarian

who was on our street

to save Ms. Capelli's dog,

who was stuck on the road.

And the people had

to push her car.

And guess what.
