denying my civil rights.

Maybe you should, like,

chill out on these meetings

for a little bit, Dad.

Well, why would I do that,

Katelyn?

Because they get you super

upset and you turn into a...

I only get upset

when my common decent rights

are trying to be taken away

by a bunch of goddamn Nazis.

Oh, my god, do you see?

What?

Are you kidding me?

Look at these potholes!

They never plowed our street

for a whole winter, not once.

Ask Mrs. Capelli.

Ask anybody on our block!

I'm paying taxes for that.

It's wrong!

Okay.

It's wrong.

Do you want to get pizza

tonight?

I can't; I have dinner plans.

Maybe tomorrow?

I'm going to Kanoga Lake.

But...

love you.

Love you too.

Bye, Dad.

Bye, honey.

Watch the pothole.

"Yada, yada, yada.

Ms. Casserta

is an incompetent b*tch."

"Incompetent"

is misspelled, of course.

No, that's not the half of it.

He calls me a... let's see...

a "dumb whore."

There's "fat," "ugly."

There's the "C" word.

No.

How many "C" words are there?

No, "c*nt."

You know, I have had it

with this guy.

I really have.

Ellen, that's a great question.

Not, it really is.

I like that question a lot,

because I get asked it a lot.

Let's see, it all began

when I was 8 years old

and I was grounded for sticking

a Barbie purse up my nose,

and I was doing that a lot,

so I think my parents

were a little worried

that I might have had a problem.

So it was a weird time.

Anyway, we were all home.

My parents were in the next room

watching the Yankees game,

and I was in my room.

And all of a sudden,

somebody started singing

God Bless America,

and I started singing along.

And my parents got quiet.

They were, like, silent.

And my mom goes,

"Is that Katelyn?"

My dad was like,

"Is that Katelyn?"

I mean, they were just

shocked and floored.

And I was excited.

I think they were excited.

It was just a really...

You f***ing douchebag!

That's f***ing dangerous,

you piece of sh*t!

Wow, f*** you, douchebag.

That was really dangerous.

Damn, girl, take it easy.

Yo, so I heard you be doing a

demo with Julian for The Voice.

Yeah.

And?

That's dope.

Maybe I can be

on the same episode, you know?

That's really funny, Cory.

What do you want to do on it?

Like, I don't know,

be in charge of the recycling?

Spittin'.

Seriously, I'm the best rapper

out there right now.

Yeah, like you'll ever be on TV.

I can make it on TV, easy.

Whatever.

Um, hey...

Um... you want to go

to Kanoga Lake with me tomorrow?

It's gonna be a blowout.

Like, maybe.

You know, I asked Shawna to go,

but she can't

'cause she's got to babysit.

Wow.

F*** you, Cory.

F*** you too, b*tch!

Ellen, I'm so sorry.

That was rude.

Where were we?

Oh, right.

Was I always talented?

Yeah, well, I don't really know

how talented I was

when I was just born, right?

I mean, did you?

But I always knew that I wanted

to get out of Liberty

and that I wanted to be famous.

And, well...

it was kind of hard early on,

because my mom just

wasn't really around much.

But my dad was so supportive...

and... encouraging and...

just a really...

good dad.

My dad is a really good dad.

It's very frustrating to have

to talk about this again.

But I had a great idea to help

the unemployment problem.

This is a depressed county

we live in,

and I suggested many times

that we should get a...

I would like to register

a complaint

against Minelli's,

a restaurant that...

Let's not start on that again.

Everyone in this town

is driving too fast,

and there are no posted signs

that encourage people

to slow down.

Time, Mr. Stuben.

There are a few stop signs...

I would like to talk about

the snowstorm from last week.

I'm having problems

on my street,

Boylston Street,

because of

the St. Patrick's Day snowstorm,

which my street

was never plowed.

And I think that's farcical.

And...

I would like...

Time, Mr. Stuben.

My question is,

why wasn't my street...

There is a reason

why we have these time limits.

And you can see here,

he's calm and non-threatening.

He's just a simple man.

And what's happening

is that they're shining him on.

They're agitating him,

trying to make him out

to be the bad guy.

But it's not the case.

And this continues.

There's other videos,

and I will show them to you.

All he's doing

is seeking redress

from his so-called

"elected government."

Yes, the floor

recognizes Larson.

Thank you.

I was just wondering

if I could get some more hummus.

Yeah, it's in the mini cooler,

under the table.

Anyway, what I want

you guys to understand

is that the town

of Liberty, New York,

has become Berlin under Hitler.

What do we do?

I think this

is the perfect project

for Think Tank

to sort of take on.

We've been looking

for a project in the region,

and I think Dave Stuben

is this project.

Yes, yes, the floor

recognizes Babatunde.

What are you proposing exactly?

And for the record,

I think he's a fascinating case.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sure, sure, sure, sure,

sure, sure, sure.

I think, at this stage,

what I'd like to do

is just start gathering,

you know,

the pertinent information.

Then we'll start sort of the,

like, the online,

you know, social media effort.

And when you combine that

with boots on the ground,

that's when the movement

starts to come together.

Think Tank will be famous.

I can see this thing going viral

within, like, days, I guess.

So it looks like

we're all out of hummus.

Then bring more next time,

for yourself, I guess.

Anyway...

Do you want me to ask Kusha

to make some more galatke?

Sure, yes, whatever.

Anyway...

this is our time.

Yeah.

History will be forced

to move out of the way.

What happens when that happens?

Someone steps in

to fill the vacuum.

History steps out of the way.

We move in...

to replace history.

This is our time, gentlemen...

and ladies...

and, I mean, any other genders

that are in attendance.

This is the moment.

And I, for one, am ready

to pack up right now

and be ready to leave

as early as Friday.

And what I want to know is...

They're out of galatke.

Should I just call another

friend that I have who's Polish?

For the love of the devil,

Larson!

Figure out the snacks

on your own time!

I am talking about history!

And those who will make it!

Banks got bailed out!

We got sold out!

Today I would like

to register a complaint

about the oak tree

that was cut down...

at the corner of Boylston...

Time.

And there are no posted signs

that encourage people

to slow down.

Get up off the ground.

That's all I ask.

Speedbumps or flashing yellows

or...

Get up there with that lady,

that lady that stands

for liberty.

If you guys

responded to emails...

Take a look at this country

through her eyes

if you really want

to see something.

Time.

Let's get involved

and get active.

Dave, we will have you arrested.

Why aren't citizens

in the neighborhood

asked about their concerns?

This is our city, our town,
