Taking Chances Page #8

What's that mean?

It means we think

you will go far.

Not in this town, it seems.

Everybody's gotta be

from somewhere.

It's up to

you where you end up.

Hmm.

Thank you.

I was hitchhiking

to the rally.

Cleveland drove by.

Somehow he knew

about the tape.

He said he'd tell me where my

father was if I gave it to him.

I don't know

what to do now.

That's a scary envelope

to open.

I was staring at those plastic

toys floatin' in the water...

after the rally,

and something

kind of dawned on me.

This is all

my dad ever wanted.

You know, the new toys

in the pool, the...

sharp-lookin' Lodge,

plenty of customers.

This is his dream.

Lots of people like this

in this town.

Everyone's getting

exactly what they wanted.

I don't know. Maybe things were

just supposed to turn out this way.

How about you?

Maybe I don't

belong here anymore,

guarding some small town's

very minor-league history.

I've never met

anyone like you.

I never met anybody

like you either.

Not even close.

So, uh, when's construction

gonna begin, do you think?

Watch for our smoke signal.

Attaboy. I knew you guys had

a sense of humor somewhere.

Buffalo who runs against the herd

arrives only at his own demise.

You do yoga,

Chase from the Lodge?

Everybody's gotta be

from somewhere.

Yeah, I figured.

Hey! It's the people's army.

What are you

doin' here, Son?

Please tell me you didn't.

Didn't do what, Son?

You're not really getting

what you think you're getting.

Oh. And what would you know

about what we're gettin'?

I'm sorry, Dad.

What do you mean?

A.P.B.

Blue Cadillac convertible.

License unknown.

Full of Indians...

I think.

Guess what

we're doin' right now.

Sittin' on a Caddy.

Sittin' on my Caddy.

Isn't that crazy?

You bastard.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

Man, you are gonna get

so much ass with this ride.

Yeah.

You're leavin', aren't ya?

How'd you guess?

I'm your best friend.

# Well, it makes no sense #

# To me #

# What I am supposed to be #

# We could be dancin'

in the dark #

# Free-fall #

# You take kindness to

the hole and it's gone #

# Sometimes #

# It's just like sayin' that

you want to get a sunburn #

# It's my turn #

# Good-bye, sir till you

meet me in the next life #

# It's high time #

# It's all mine Can't shake the

feeling I'll be back this time #

# If I return at all #

# I know you'll be there

just waitin' for me to fall #

Here are the keys

to the station wagon.

Oh, stop it.

You can maybe, uh, sell it.

Pay for the pool.

What do you want me to say?

Nothin'.

Well, I'm not gonna say it.

It's not in my character.

I'll see you later.

# Sometimes #

# It's just like sayin' that

you want to get a sunburn #

# It's my turn #

# Good-bye, sir till you

meet me in the next life #

# It's high time #

All right. You

might think this is where Chase...

is supposed to explain the

lessons he learned in the story.

But that would make this kind

of a fairy tale or something,

when maybe it was just about the summer

my buddy fell for an unusual girl...

and our town got taken

by some really fake Indians...

and some guy who wasn't as

official as everyone thought.

My lesson from all that?

Summer's awesome.

Chase used to say that...

"History is the cornerstone

of our nation's past."

I still don't quite understand

what he meant by that.

But maybe he was saying...

life is history

in the making.

And maybe we learn,

and maybe we don't.

But nothing ever

stays the same.

We just keep moving forward...

the best we know how.

Would you like perhaps to take

this opportunity to apologize...

to the citizens

of Patriotville?

Apologize to the citizens

of Patriotville? Mm-hmm.

No. I'd like to say, uh, Citizens

of Patriotville, you're welcome.

You're welcome for all

the hard work that we did.

And... And I'm sorry

for loving you so much.

I'm sorry for loving you

so damn much.

- There.

- Have you met any new friends?

Yeah. Made a lot of friends.

Uh, we got a lot of... a cast of

characters in here, I'll tell you what.

Uh, Pooh Bear. Um, Jellyfish. Ooh.

Um...

The Ombudsman.

The Ombudsman. Uh-huh.

What kind of activities do you two do?

Do you get to listen

to any music here?

Yes. I have discovered

the wonders of hip-hop.

Wonderful.

And, uh, it has... I don't know...

opened my mind a little bit.

One would say. Have you learned any...

any songs that I maybe would know?

Uh, mostly in here

it's just, uh, freestylin'.

The gentlemen inside will, uh...

Well, one will lay down a funky beat,

or, uh, something.

I feel it first.

Then I spit a side. But you start by

going, "Yo. Yo, yo." #

# My name is Cleve

I'm in jail #

# I wanna leave #

That's about it. Word up.

That's wonderful.

I really do

wanna leave.

# Thank you.

The time for change is here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I would just like to say...

# We could be

livin' in another time #

# The older state

was a state of mind #

# Look around

It's a brand-new day #

# Brand-new day

Brand-new day #

# They say that now is the future

and change has finally come #

# The new revolution

American dream #

# That's right #

# The next generation #

# They say that now is the future

and change has finally come #

# The new revolution

American dream Sweet dreams #

# The next generation #

Thank you.

Thank you.

Again, I... I sincerely

thank you. Please sit.

Now, some have

called me a hero.

But I am just a man.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it bears repeating.

# We could be livin'

What the "F"

are you talking about?

Love nuggets.

Mouth full

of nut sack, Cleveland.

I know... I know physically

what you're talking about.

Basically what we're describing

is it's a terrible situation.

I don't either.

What?

I don't either. Are you

answering a question?

Or are you referring to

something we just said? Yeah.

You said, "I don't either." Well, I

don't know what he's talking about.

Oh. Okay, so it was only

two questions ago.

Right.

Gotcha.

I think I know.

Well, why not, Stover?

What? What do you know?

I wouldn't like it.

If I could...

bottle you up...

all five of you...

Cut! Cut.
