Is That a Gun in Your Pocket? Page #8
I'm gonna sit down.
- So 10 million
dollars to the town
and everything goes
back the way it was,
is that about it mr lafontein?
- That's about it mr rockford.
- But something doesn't
seem quite right to me,
you come waltzing into our town,
waving all that money and
you act like you got a dog
in this fight.
- We all do.
It's called Liberty.
- Amen.
- No it's called lobbying.
You know what you are Dwayne?
You're a walking,
talking, breathing gun.
A hired gun.
You're job is to make sure
that the manufacturers
can make and sell as
many guns as possible.
You're no different from
a corner drug dealer
pushing crack for a cartel.
So I'm gonna offer this
town 10 million dollars
if the men of rockford
- Now hold on, hold on.
Mr rockford we had always heard
that you are an avid hunter,
that no animal in Africa
was safe from you.
- Yes I have done
my share of killing,
but now I don't believe in
harming any sentient being.
- Mr rockford you are the
name sake of this town,
would you rather have it turned
into the peoples Republic
of New York City?
- Better that, than
a monastery full
of angry blue-balled monks.
- Make it 11 million.
- There we go.
- 11 it is.
I feel like I'm on shark tank.
- 12.
- Oh come on.
- Yeah.
- No you are starting
to aggravate me son.
I am trying to reach.
Oh son of a b*tch,
it's gonna take me 10
lifetimes to get there.
Dwayne, I'm gonna see your
12 and raise you three.
That's 15 million dollars.
What say you now?
- I have to make a phone call.
- Yeah, I'll wait.
- Wally.
I would like to make
a statement if I may.
For the first time
in a long time
I remember why my marriage was,
is so important to me
and while I'm honored
that so many of you
want me to run for mayor,
I feel I can be more effective
continuing this fight
without having to run rockford.
Well the truth is I may not
be worthy of your trust.
- Glock 22.
- Jesus what the?
- It feels good,
but you know what some how
it doesn't feel as good
as it used to.
And no where near
as good as my wife.
And darling you wanna be mayor,
hell you be mayor.
You got my vote.
Mr rockford.
That's just one gun,
but it's a start.
with a single snowflake.
Right baby?
I'll be at home destroying
the rest of them.
See you later.
- Traitor.
- Wait a minute
where are you going?
- I miss my wife Jake,
we were trying to make a baby
before all this craziness.
I'd like to keep trying.
- Wait a minute guys
where where you going?
Come on don't wimp out now.
We're down to the home stretch.
If we cave in now they win.
Oh come on, Wally.
- Hey it's 15 million dollars
and jobs back Jake.
- You can have the jobs back,
but just so we're clear
you don't get the 15 until
all the guns are gone.
- Oh yeah that's clear.
- What about bb guns?
- And they say there's no such
thing as a stupid question.
- Is that a no.
- That's a no.
- I liked him better
when he was dead.
- Hello champ.
What you doing out here?
- Thinking.
- Listen I wanted to thank you,
for talking to me yesterday.
Telling me how you
felt about things.
I know that isn't always
an easy thing to do.
And I want you to
know it affected me.
A lot.
One of the reasons
i gave up my guns.
- But how about the
balance of power shifting
and all that?
power isn't as delicate
See having the guts
to be vulnerable
and admit that you're wrong,
that's a sign of strength,
not weakness.
You understand?
- I think so.
- Good.
- Is sex really the most
important thing to us men?
- Absolutely son.
- 44 days after the sex
strike of rockford began
be unofficially over.
All but 252 citizens have agreed
Towns people say they
are still working
on convincing those holdouts.
95 of whom are women
to join the converted.
In the meantime all
indications are that things
I rockford are returning
back to normal.
- Honey I'm home.
oh damn.
These are for you.
- And this is for the flowers.
- What about a vase?
- Are you a stallion or are
you a little b*tch mare?
Want me to whip you
in terms of shape?
You want me to whip
you into shape,
you little sh*t?
What the hell kind
of sound is that?
You sound like an old woman
coughing up a hair ball,
you little sh*t.
- bill
- god damn liberals,
what the f***.
