1
00:00:57,683 --> 00:01:00,482
Oh, God.
2
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,196
Mr. Morrison, you are here
because you are in contempt of court.
3
00:01:49,067 --> 00:01:52,196
The Building Commission has documented
4
00:01:52,362 --> 00:01:57,084
repeated efforts to give you an opportunity
to bring your house to code.
5
00:01:57,242 --> 00:02:00,166
There are 26 violations
6
00:02:00,329 --> 00:02:01,751
against the structure
7
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,629
and they're requesting that
your house be bulldozed.
8
00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:07,715
It has also come to my
attention that you have
9
00:02:07,878 --> 00:02:11,849
violated a court order expressly
prohibiting building on the site
10
00:02:12,049 --> 00:02:14,427
until those matters have been resolved.
11
00:02:14,593 --> 00:02:19,019
Do you understand the
gravity of these charges?
12
00:02:19,348 --> 00:02:20,816
That you could go to jail?
13
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:22,522
Yes, I do.
14
00:02:26,104 --> 00:02:28,072
Are you a baseball fan, Your Honour?
15
00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:31,234
Excuse me?
16
00:02:40,035 --> 00:02:41,378
When I was 11
17
00:02:41,536 --> 00:02:44,460
my father took me to Boston to see a game.
18
00:02:44,623 --> 00:02:45,875
It was a doubleheader
19
00:02:46,041 --> 00:02:49,090
between the Boston Red Sox and the Yankees.
20
00:02:49,252 --> 00:02:54,099
Dad pulled a baseball
out of his pocket and he said to me,
21
00:02:54,257 --> 00:02:59,013
"You go down there to that dugout
and get Babe Ruth to sign that ball."
22
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:02,353
I'm going to tell you right out of the bush
I was scared to death.
23
00:03:02,516 --> 00:03:04,564
Anyhow, so down I go.
24
00:03:04,726 --> 00:03:09,027
Babe Ruth said to me,
"Why sure, Sonny, I'll sign your ball."
25
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:11,112
Then, at the other end of the dugout,
26
00:03:11,274 --> 00:03:15,120
Lou Gehrig was looking at some bats.
He signed her, too.
27
00:03:15,946 --> 00:03:20,622
Well, sir, that ball is famous even today.
28
00:03:20,784 --> 00:03:23,788
Lelands wanted to put it
in their auction down in New York.
29
00:03:24,621 --> 00:03:27,670
They wrote about me and that ball
in the St. John paper.
30
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,507
I still have the article.
31
00:03:30,669 --> 00:03:33,263
Who's Babe Ruth, Grampy?
32
00:03:36,591 --> 00:03:39,686
Just the greatest sportsman
that ever lived.
33
00:03:39,845 --> 00:03:42,189
Hey, how old are you, anyway?
34
00:03:42,347 --> 00:03:43,473
Nine.
35
00:03:43,765 --> 00:03:47,770
You mean to tell me you're nine years old
and no one's told you who Babe Ruth is yet?
36
00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:49,646
No. How old are you?
37
00:03:50,021 --> 00:03:51,068
Eighty-seven.
38
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:53,233
Do you know who Drake is?
39
00:03:54,985 --> 00:03:56,328
Who?
40
00:03:56,486 --> 00:03:57,829
Then we're even.
41
00:04:00,282 --> 00:04:02,009
The little bugger reminds me of his father.
42
00:04:02,033 --> 00:04:03,956
He reminds me of someone else I know.
43
00:04:26,475 --> 00:04:29,149
Doesn't seem like a day
for a funeral, does it?
44
00:04:29,311 --> 00:04:30,938
No.
45
00:04:31,104 --> 00:04:33,903
Then again, I don't
imagine too many days do.
46
00:04:35,984 --> 00:04:38,078
Do you think much about dying?
47
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:42,457
Probably not as much as I should.
48
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:49,131
When I was young, I looked at old people
49
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:51,917
and thought, "if you live long enough,
50
00:04:52,083 --> 00:04:54,962
you probably had time
to figure out dying."
51
00:04:58,507 --> 00:05:02,137
But I'm no closer now to the great mystery
52
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:05,021
than when I was ten.
53
00:05:07,516 --> 00:05:09,143
See that as a problem, do you?
54
00:05:11,895 --> 00:05:14,398
We'll find out soon enough.
55
00:05:16,566 --> 00:05:18,568
Speak for yourself.
56
00:05:18,735 --> 00:05:21,079
I plan on beating the odds.
57
00:05:25,534 --> 00:05:28,378
Shall we bow in a moment
of prayer together?
58
00:05:58,567 --> 00:06:02,913
The TSX hit a record again
yesterday reaching 14,660
59
00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:06,701
and shattering last year's high of 14,625.
60
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:08,164
That represents a...
61
00:06:26,177 --> 00:06:28,179
Good morning, ladies.
62
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,773
Oh...
63
00:06:58,001 --> 00:07:00,424
We should have put the
beds in these years ago.
64
00:07:00,587 --> 00:07:04,182
Your oldest daughter thinks
we look like trailer trash.
65
00:07:04,341 --> 00:07:05,968
It's installation art.
66
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:04,029
Do you see the cows?
67
00:08:07,112 --> 00:08:09,035
Yes, dear, I see the cows.
68
00:08:09,197 --> 00:08:10,870
I wonder who they belong to.
69
00:08:12,075 --> 00:08:14,669
They're ours.
You know that.
70
00:08:18,915 --> 00:08:19,962
Ho! Ho!
71
00:08:23,461 --> 00:08:26,214
Come on now, come on.
Ha! Ha!
72
00:08:32,262 --> 00:08:34,356
Hey, Dad.
Ruthie.
73
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:38,439
How'd the checkup go?
74
00:08:38,601 --> 00:08:41,195
Clean bill of health for both of us.
75
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:42,526
Really?
Mm...
76
00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:45,859
Doctor didn't say anything
about her memory?
77
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:47,653
I forgot to ask him.
78
00:08:47,819 --> 00:08:50,789
You're kidding, right?
79
00:08:51,281 --> 00:08:53,909
No, really, I forgot.
80
00:08:54,075 --> 00:08:56,498
Maybe I should be asking about my memory.
81
00:08:56,661 --> 00:08:57,661
Huh...
82
00:08:57,787 --> 00:09:01,007
Where's Mom?
She's out in the truck.
83
00:09:01,166 --> 00:09:03,168
She didn't want to come in?
84
00:09:03,334 --> 00:09:05,007
No, she was content to stay put.
85
00:09:13,261 --> 00:09:16,231
Maybe we should buy our milk at the store.
86
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:18,232
How's Ruth?
87
00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:33,699
Hey, Dad.
John.
88
00:09:33,865 --> 00:09:35,037
Need anything in Sussex?
89
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,373
I'm going over to pick up some fencing.
90
00:09:37,535 --> 00:09:39,128
Not right now.
91
00:09:40,747 --> 00:09:41,839
I heard about the cows.
92
00:09:44,501 --> 00:09:46,299
Everybody's heard about the cows.
93
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:50,090
Well, I'm done with them.
94
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:52,133
What, really?
95
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:54,974
Unless, of course, if you want them.
96
00:09:55,136 --> 00:09:57,685
Well, you know, with the
beef market the way it is,
97
00:09:57,847 --> 00:09:59,567
it's not really a hobby I can afford, so...
98
00:09:59,724 --> 00:10:01,192
Fair enough.
99
00:10:11,528 --> 00:10:12,654
Really?
100
00:10:12,821 --> 00:10:15,040
Now?
101
00:10:40,765 --> 00:10:43,484
How many miles you got
on them tires, Craig?
102
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:47,443
You know, this is what happens
when you're too cheap to buy new ones.
103
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:51,447
I heard the boys bought
themselves a new tractor.
104
00:10:51,609 --> 00:10:54,829
Sure surprised they gave the
old man the keys, though.
105
00:10:55,530 --> 00:10:57,908
No wonder those cows escaped.
106
00:10:58,074 --> 00:11:01,203
I would have replaced
some of those fence posts years ago.
107
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:04,748
How's that strawberry crop of
yours doing there, Chester?
108
00:11:05,623 --> 00:11:08,547
Oh, goddamn global warming.
109
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:11,463
I haven't seen a spring
with this much rain ever.
110
00:11:11,629 --> 00:11:15,304
That's funny, I got more
berries than I can handle.
111
00:11:15,466 --> 00:11:17,639
So you know anybody who's
looking for work picking...
112
00:11:17,802 --> 00:11:19,896
you send them my way.
113
00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:23,479
Well, aren't you a smug bastard.
114
00:11:46,456 --> 00:11:48,800
What if I was ten minutes later?
115
00:11:52,128 --> 00:11:54,551
Goodness, Craig, what did
you do to our kitchen?
116
00:11:56,299 --> 00:11:59,769
I didn't do anything to the kitchen.
You left an oven mitt on the stove.
117
00:11:59,928 --> 00:12:01,726
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
118
00:12:04,682 --> 00:12:07,481
I didn't.
Yes, you did!
119
00:12:37,090 --> 00:12:38,558
Well...
120
00:12:38,716 --> 00:12:40,218
we've been talking about it.
121
00:12:42,762 --> 00:12:44,389
Who's "we"?
122
00:12:46,849 --> 00:12:49,352
Well, your first mistake was
having seven children, so...
123
00:12:50,311 --> 00:12:53,110
She has her good days and
her bad days, that's all.
124
00:12:55,066 --> 00:12:56,192
She's fine.
125
00:13:28,224 --> 00:13:29,771
Do you smell smoke?
126
00:13:31,602 --> 00:13:34,572
I was burning some brush out back today.
127
00:13:35,982 --> 00:13:37,825
Some of it must have blown into the house.
128
00:13:51,289 --> 00:13:52,836
I want to see you.
129
00:13:55,501 --> 00:13:59,005
It's been a while.
Has it?
130
00:14:00,006 --> 00:14:02,054
Take off your clothes, old man.
131
00:14:37,293 --> 00:14:38,715
I'm sorry.
132
00:14:40,213 --> 00:14:41,305
What for?
133
00:14:45,093 --> 00:14:46,185
Nothing.
134
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:49,560
I'm just sorry.
135
00:14:53,935 --> 00:14:57,690
It never gets old, does it?
136
00:14:57,855 --> 00:14:59,323
No, it doesn't.
137
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:04,324
We always did the passion part well.
138
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:10,910
Remember that hotel in St. John...
139
00:15:12,370 --> 00:15:13,917
when we were first married?
140
00:15:15,331 --> 00:15:18,335
Remember the drive to St. John
before the hotel?
141
00:15:21,712 --> 00:15:26,388
Jeez, you always seemed so prim and proper.
142
00:15:26,551 --> 00:15:27,848
I was...
143
00:15:30,096 --> 00:15:31,769
until I met you.
144
00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:36,357
Who would have guessed it?
145
00:15:43,568 --> 00:15:47,368
Oh, strawberries are A-1 this year, boss.
Yes, they are, Gus.
146
00:15:48,906 --> 00:15:51,785
We'll take off another load this afternoon
once it cools down.
147
00:15:52,577 --> 00:15:53,577
Roger that.
148
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:07,055
Mr. Morrison,
didn't expect to see you again this year.
149
00:16:07,216 --> 00:16:08,513
Oh? Why's that?
150
00:16:08,676 --> 00:16:10,553
Didn't you get my letter?
Hmm...
151
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,222
Not that I recall, no.
152
00:16:12,388 --> 00:16:15,642
We sent it back in February
on account of new regulations.
153
00:16:15,808 --> 00:16:19,187
We only buy from growers who ship
their products in refrigerated trucks.
154
00:16:21,230 --> 00:16:23,824
These were on the plants not two hours ago.
155
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:26,994
There's no heat of the day in them at all.
156
00:16:27,153 --> 00:16:29,622
Well, it's a head-office decision.
157
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:35,415
Any wiggle room on this?
Afraid not.
158
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,794
Well, that just means I'm shit out of luck.
159
00:16:39,832 --> 00:16:43,086
I can't afford a refrigerated truck
for less than an acre.
160
00:16:43,252 --> 00:16:44,720
Yeah, I know.
161
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:47,177
I'm sorry, I wish there was
something I could do about it.
162
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,843
Yeah. Me too.
163
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:54,480
It seems like there's some kind of
regulation for everything nowadays.
164
00:17:00,811 --> 00:17:03,485
Never understood why you can't
just double the recipe.
165
00:17:03,648 --> 00:17:06,868
We could make a whole lot more.
It doesn't work that way.
166
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:09,996
No. Old wives' tale.
167
00:17:11,405 --> 00:17:12,873
Craig...
Hm?
168
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:15,876
Just because you have a
field of strawberries,
169
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:19,414
I'm not going to make 10,000 jars of jam.
170
00:17:21,832 --> 00:17:23,049
Give them away.
171
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:40,484
Goddammit.
172
00:17:57,076 --> 00:17:58,623
Here we go.
173
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:13,017
This reminds me of my milk delivering days.
174
00:18:13,175 --> 00:18:16,304
Back before I knew you, I
had a horse and a wagon.
175
00:18:16,929 --> 00:18:19,557
Took over the route from old man Lefebvre.
176
00:18:19,724 --> 00:18:20,941
I know.
177
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:42,190
The water in the toilet froze last night.
178
00:19:44,809 --> 00:19:47,187
My bet is it's going to
freeze again tonight.
179
00:19:49,605 --> 00:19:53,075
We've already been through
three cords of wood this winter.
180
00:19:53,234 --> 00:19:55,657
Barely keeping this place warm.
181
00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:58,414
Truth is, may not be much longer
182
00:19:58,572 --> 00:20:01,041
before this place doesn't
work for us anymore.
183
00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:06,206
The view's not all that great either.
184
00:20:06,372 --> 00:20:09,296
You sound like Ruth.
Oh?
185
00:20:09,458 --> 00:20:11,631
No, I'm not moving into town.
186
00:20:11,794 --> 00:20:14,673
And you'll have to shoot me
before you find me in a retirement home.
187
00:20:15,715 --> 00:20:17,467
The only view there
188
00:20:17,633 --> 00:20:20,352
is of the slow shuffle into the ground.
189
00:20:21,387 --> 00:20:22,639
That's not what I meant.
190
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,110
I was thinking of building
us something smaller,
191
00:20:28,269 --> 00:20:30,317
more manageable,
192
00:20:30,479 --> 00:20:32,732
on that plot of ours across the road.
193
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:34,241
One level.
194
00:20:34,942 --> 00:20:36,239
We don't have the money.
195
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:39,663
This place isn't worth a thing.
Mm.
196
00:20:39,822 --> 00:20:41,870
And we're not taking a mortgage.
197
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:45,078
If I did the work myself,
we could afford it.
198
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:49,499
With the strawberries and the cattle gone,
199
00:20:49,665 --> 00:20:51,838
I seem to have a lot more free time.
200
00:20:59,467 --> 00:21:00,935
Promise me one thing.
201
00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:03,267
Mm-hmm.
202
00:21:03,888 --> 00:21:07,643
We won't move until we have to.
203
00:21:09,643 --> 00:21:11,645
Fair enough.
204
00:21:34,627 --> 00:21:35,844
' Dad!
205
00:21:43,511 --> 00:21:45,934
Well, it looks like you got
another project in mind.
206
00:21:46,514 --> 00:21:49,688
Are you the official spokesman
for all your brothers and sisters,
207
00:21:49,850 --> 00:21:51,318
or just here by yourself?
208
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,692
A bit of both.
209
00:21:55,147 --> 00:21:56,524
Well, that's nice.
210
00:21:57,316 --> 00:21:59,739
No, we just felt awful
if it wasn't mentioned
211
00:21:59,902 --> 00:22:02,405
that you could get someone
else to build it for you.
212
00:22:02,571 --> 00:22:04,164
No. Don't have the money.
213
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:05,996
Dad, you're sitting on 2,000 acres.
214
00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:08,752
Sell off a piece.
You know as well as I do,
215
00:22:08,911 --> 00:22:10,754
if you're going to live here
you need a big land base.
216
00:22:10,913 --> 00:22:12,881
Big land base, yeah.
217
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,384
Besides, nothing's stopping
me from doing the work.
218
00:22:15,543 --> 00:22:17,841
Except that you're in your eighties.
219
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:20,927
Well, Son, way I look at it,
220
00:22:21,090 --> 00:22:23,684
age is just an abstraction,
not a straightjacket.
221
00:22:23,843 --> 00:22:26,187
The truth is...
222
00:22:26,846 --> 00:22:29,019
I'm sort of looking forward to it.
223
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:32,401
I haven't had a big project
like this in quite a while.
224
00:22:34,144 --> 00:22:35,191
Fair enough.
225
00:22:36,355 --> 00:22:38,608
Is there anything any of
us can do to help here?
226
00:22:38,774 --> 00:22:41,618
Sure.
Need a bit of work with the backhoe
227
00:22:41,777 --> 00:22:44,280
if you've got the time.
Yeah, no problem.
228
00:22:47,908 --> 00:22:49,956
Um...
229
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,588
Can you at least promise
me that you'll be careful?
230
00:22:52,746 --> 00:22:54,214
What?
231
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,965
You know, if you... cut your hand off
with the circular saw
232
00:22:59,128 --> 00:23:01,847
in a fit of geriatric stupidity,
233
00:23:02,006 --> 00:23:05,636
my sisters, my wife, they're not going
to let me forget about that, so, uh...
234
00:23:05,801 --> 00:23:07,223
Wow!
235
00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:11,061
Must be tough waking up every morning
afraid of tripping over your own shadow.
236
00:23:11,223 --> 00:23:13,191
Aw...
237
00:23:19,607 --> 00:23:22,702
So the living room will go right here.
238
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:26,243
Don't want to make it too big.
239
00:23:27,823 --> 00:23:30,667
I figure if the house
faces in this direction,
240
00:23:30,826 --> 00:23:32,624
that should give us the best view.
241
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:37,837
I bet on a clear day you
can see half the county.
242
00:23:41,754 --> 00:23:42,846
Irene?
243
00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:46,767
What do you think?
244
00:23:47,551 --> 00:23:49,474
What are we doing, Craig?
245
00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:52,560
Irene, we've been over this before.
246
00:23:57,853 --> 00:23:59,855
We won't move in until we're ready.
247
00:24:01,148 --> 00:24:04,322
That's a promise, okay?
248
00:24:08,781 --> 00:24:09,873
. Okay-
249
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,077
Thank you.
250
00:24:14,078 --> 00:24:17,127
So it's true.
251
00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:20,133
You know, I didn't believe
it when I heard it.
252
00:24:21,085 --> 00:24:23,929
I figured they'd have to carry you
out of here in a pine box
253
00:24:24,088 --> 00:24:26,887
before you'd spend money on a new house.
254
00:24:27,049 --> 00:24:28,471
Who you getting to build it?
255
00:24:30,094 --> 00:24:32,893
Chester, why do you ask questions
you already know the answer to?
256
00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:37,852
You got a permit?
A permit?
257
00:24:38,018 --> 00:24:40,942
Why would I need a permit?
258
00:24:41,105 --> 00:24:43,324
This is my land.
259
00:24:43,482 --> 00:24:45,826
Ever since they did the Royal
Commission two years ago,
260
00:24:45,985 --> 00:24:50,115
you got to have an official stamp
if you want to take a crap.
261
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,329
Trust me.
You definitely need a permit.
262
00:24:53,492 --> 00:24:54,493
Yep-
263
00:24:58,914 --> 00:25:01,963
It just seems funny to me that
I should have to pay $400
264
00:25:02,126 --> 00:25:05,756
to build the house on a piece of property
I already own and pay taxes on.
265
00:25:05,921 --> 00:25:08,344
Yeah, we get that quite a bit.
266
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:11,351
It's an administrative fee.
As you're building the house,
267
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:14,730
we come out and check on you
and make sure it complies to code.
268
00:25:14,888 --> 00:25:17,311
Well, I suppose someone needs a job,
269
00:25:17,474 --> 00:25:19,397
but it's completely unnecessary.
270
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,360
In case you haven't noticed,
there are a lot of houses in Saint Martins
271
00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:24,364
that are well over 200 years old.
272
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:25,945
They're still standing.
273
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:29,115
Where was your code then?
Yes sir.
274
00:25:29,278 --> 00:25:32,532
I think you're missing the point, but yeah.
I sure am.
275
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:35,918
But if that's the way it's going to go,
276
00:25:36,076 --> 00:25:38,795
I guess I'll just have
to hand over the $400.
277
00:25:38,954 --> 00:25:40,797
There you go.
Thanks.
278
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:43,796
And I'll just need to see your plans.
279
00:25:43,959 --> 00:25:45,211
Plans for what?
280
00:25:45,961 --> 00:25:47,178
For the house.
281
00:25:48,213 --> 00:25:49,715
I don't have any plans.
282
00:25:49,882 --> 00:25:52,681
Well, how are you going to build a house
without any plans?
283
00:25:53,469 --> 00:25:55,392
The way I've been doing it all my life.
284
00:25:56,096 --> 00:25:57,268
I know what I want.
285
00:25:57,973 --> 00:25:59,691
Well, how do you know?
286
00:26:02,144 --> 00:26:03,942
Because it's in my head, that's how.
287
00:26:04,104 --> 00:26:06,357
Well, that doesn't solve our problem.
288
00:26:06,523 --> 00:26:07,991
We need stamped blueprints.
289
00:26:09,651 --> 00:26:11,824
But... I'm not an architect.
290
00:26:11,987 --> 00:26:13,955
I don't know how to draw out plans.
291
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:16,833
This is just going to cost
me a whole lot more money.
292
00:26:16,992 --> 00:26:18,414
Sir, we have to have them.
293
00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:26,840
Well... okay, I'll see what I can do.
294
00:26:27,002 --> 00:26:28,845
We'd appreciate that.
Hmm...
295
00:26:29,004 --> 00:26:32,429
Hmm. You have yourself a nice day.
296
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:34,389
You too.
Hmm.
297
00:26:40,557 --> 00:26:41,774
Jeffrey?
Yeah.
298
00:26:42,935 --> 00:26:45,438
I'm going to put a big window right here.
Yeah.
299
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:49,199
And, um, there'll be another
one against that wall.
300
00:26:49,358 --> 00:26:52,658
And one or two more small
ones along the back.
301
00:26:52,820 --> 00:26:53,820
All right.
302
00:26:54,655 --> 00:26:57,776
You don't happen to have the dimensions
of any of these windows, do you, Gramp?
303
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:00,543
Not for the big one, no.
No'?
304
00:27:00,702 --> 00:27:03,205
I'm not sure whether I'm going
to go with a bay or not.
305
00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:07,092
I suppose I could commit
to where they're going right now,
306
00:27:07,251 --> 00:27:10,346
I mean, if we really need to.
Yeah, we really do.
307
00:27:11,713 --> 00:27:13,386
Uh, any idea about doors?
308
00:27:14,341 --> 00:27:16,093
Yep. We're going to have
some of those too.
309
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:18,971
There's decency to be considered.
310
00:27:19,138 --> 00:27:21,857
Yeah, that's hilarious, Gramp.
311
00:27:22,558 --> 00:27:24,310
Two of them are already built.
312
00:27:24,476 --> 00:27:26,649
I'll have the measurements
for you in the morning.
313
00:27:28,105 --> 00:27:32,326
You do realize I'm an engineer,
not an architect, right?
314
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:33,656
Oh, come on, Jeffrey.
315
00:27:34,361 --> 00:27:36,864
How hard could it be?
316
00:27:39,908 --> 00:27:41,034
. Okay-
317
00:27:43,078 --> 00:27:44,671
Jeffrey?
Yeah?
318
00:27:45,289 --> 00:27:49,135
I really appreciate the help.
I know how busy you are.
319
00:27:50,919 --> 00:27:54,014
Gramp, you gave me the land for my house.
320
00:27:54,173 --> 00:27:57,302
In comparison, this is no big deal.
321
00:27:59,344 --> 00:28:03,099
The pitch is delivered and...
322
00:28:05,893 --> 00:28:08,362
Aw, jeez, they stink.
323
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,397
Yeah, they need a new manager.
324
00:28:12,107 --> 00:28:15,327
It's not a management problem,
it's a hitting problem.
325
00:28:16,570 --> 00:28:19,289
Oh well, there's always next year.
326
00:28:19,448 --> 00:28:22,873
We're just into May.
The season has barely begun.
327
00:28:23,035 --> 00:28:25,504
Why would you say that?
328
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,758
Where are you going?
Upstairs to bed.
329
00:28:33,921 --> 00:28:36,424
We start on the foundation tomorrow.
What foundation?
330
00:28:38,967 --> 00:28:40,469
For the house, Irene.
331
00:28:40,636 --> 00:28:42,138
Goddammit.
332
00:29:30,978 --> 00:29:33,948
You're absolutely certain you
want to do this, old man?
333
00:29:35,691 --> 00:29:37,068
I sure am.
334
00:29:37,734 --> 00:29:39,486
Say, how's that chest cold of yours?
335
00:29:39,653 --> 00:29:42,076
Sure you don't need me to work the backhoe?
336
00:29:42,239 --> 00:29:44,162
Walking pneumonia, Dad.
337
00:29:44,324 --> 00:29:46,873
Where I come from, if you can
walk, it's not pneumonia.
338
00:29:47,536 --> 00:29:49,656
If the rest of us could rely
on strength of character
339
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:53,213
instead of universal healthcare,
the world would be a better place.
340
00:29:56,628 --> 00:30:00,132
So now, how do you want to do this?
341
00:30:00,299 --> 00:30:02,659
I think we should just start in the east,
work our way back.
342
00:30:03,218 --> 00:30:05,391
Well, sounds like a plan.
343
00:30:05,554 --> 00:30:07,272
All right then.
344
00:30:19,484 --> 00:30:22,704
Here we go.
345
00:31:18,543 --> 00:31:20,136
'Morning, Grampy.
346
00:31:20,295 --> 00:31:22,172
Well, 'morning there, Gavin.
347
00:31:22,339 --> 00:31:24,057
Aren't you supposed to be in school?
348
00:31:24,216 --> 00:31:26,059
Summer vacation.
349
00:31:26,218 --> 00:31:28,721
On. on, right.
350
00:31:29,763 --> 00:31:33,313
So, uh, what are your plans for today?
351
00:31:33,475 --> 00:31:35,523
Don't have any.
Ah.
352
00:31:35,685 --> 00:31:38,188
I hear you're pretty handy with numbers.
353
00:31:38,355 --> 00:31:40,073
I guess so.
354
00:31:40,232 --> 00:31:43,156
Well, I could use a good
man with a tape measure,
355
00:31:43,318 --> 00:31:46,572
if you think you're up to it.
It depends.
356
00:31:47,656 --> 00:31:48,999
On what?
357
00:31:49,157 --> 00:31:51,125
Is this a paying job?
358
00:31:53,203 --> 00:31:55,501
Depends.
On what?
359
00:31:55,664 --> 00:31:57,962
If you're any good or not.
360
00:32:11,304 --> 00:32:14,023
You sure this is the right length?
I'm sure.
361
00:32:14,182 --> 00:32:15,684
Good. That's what I like.
362
00:32:15,851 --> 00:32:20,527
A man with the confidence to measure once
and stick with it, regardless.
363
00:32:32,075 --> 00:32:34,043
Everything all right?
364
00:32:35,787 --> 00:32:38,040
Just a little sore, that's all.
365
00:32:51,344 --> 00:32:52,391
Oh!
366
00:32:54,181 --> 00:32:56,650
Dad, are you all right?
Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
367
00:32:57,767 --> 00:32:59,861
Should have braced it better.
368
00:33:01,771 --> 00:33:03,318
Why don't you let me call Darryl?
369
00:33:03,482 --> 00:33:05,280
He can come and he can help you.
No.
370
00:33:05,442 --> 00:33:07,820
I can manage.
Your husband has enough
371
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:09,283
to keep him busy on the farm.
372
00:33:09,446 --> 00:33:11,699
He doesn't need to be out here with me.
373
00:33:12,866 --> 00:33:15,369
Farm's not going anywhere.
Well, that makes two of us.
374
00:33:17,204 --> 00:33:20,378
All of us working together,
we could finish this in two or three weeks.
375
00:33:23,126 --> 00:33:24,548
What?
376
00:33:27,297 --> 00:33:29,675
I'm enjoying myself.
377
00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:32,685
I wasn't sure when I started
I still had it in me.
378
00:33:32,844 --> 00:33:36,098
But I don't need this to be finished
in two or three weeks.
379
00:33:37,682 --> 00:33:40,526
And more importantly,
neither does your mother.
380
00:33:56,785 --> 00:33:59,129
Oh, damn it!
381
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:01,085
Don't you ever get bad cards?
382
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:04,884
Well played, Irene.
383
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:07,045
Come on, she got lucky, again.
384
00:34:07,963 --> 00:34:10,386
Have you seen that place
they're putting up on 17?
385
00:34:10,549 --> 00:34:13,052
At first I thought it was a hotel,
386
00:34:13,218 --> 00:34:15,516
but I hear it's just for one family.
387
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:17,602
Well, how many kids do they have?
388
00:34:17,764 --> 00:34:19,617
Oh hell, if that damn
place were an orphanage,
389
00:34:19,641 --> 00:34:21,842
they still wouldn't know what
to do with all that room.
390
00:34:28,984 --> 00:34:31,282
Who's for another hand, hmm?
391
00:34:31,444 --> 00:34:32,912
Yeah.
Last one.
392
00:34:33,071 --> 00:34:35,165
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
393
00:35:32,589 --> 00:35:35,809
I suppose it's too much to hope
you're here on a social visit.
394
00:35:35,967 --> 00:35:38,641
I don't tend to do much socializing
in St. Martins.
395
00:35:39,554 --> 00:35:41,932
Now, why doesn't that surprise me?
396
00:35:42,098 --> 00:35:45,853
I suspect you saw that Stop Work order
I left here yesterday.
397
00:35:46,019 --> 00:35:47,396
Oh yeah.
398
00:35:48,146 --> 00:35:50,319
I thought that was your handiwork.
399
00:35:51,566 --> 00:35:53,239
Did you understand it?
400
00:35:53,401 --> 00:35:55,995
Yeah, seemed pretty straightforward to me.
401
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:59,124
Then why are you still building
without a set of approved plans?
402
00:36:00,450 --> 00:36:02,999
Uh... well, that's the thing.
403
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:05,505
See, the plans aren't quite ready yet.
404
00:36:05,664 --> 00:36:08,042
And, well, the weather
is just about perfect.
405
00:36:08,208 --> 00:36:11,178
Jeffrey that's my grandson -
406
00:36:11,336 --> 00:36:13,509
he's been kind of buried
over at the refinery.
407
00:36:13,672 --> 00:36:16,016
One of the distilleries went down.
408
00:36:16,174 --> 00:36:18,768
Otherwise, he'd have had them done by now.
409
00:36:18,927 --> 00:36:21,047
But you weren't supposed to
start in the first place.
410
00:36:21,429 --> 00:36:23,682
I thought that was very clear.
411
00:36:23,848 --> 00:36:26,852
Well, you said you needed plans.
You didn't say anything
412
00:36:27,018 --> 00:36:29,362
about not starting to build
before you had them.
413
00:36:29,521 --> 00:36:32,195
Well, if that were the case,
what would be the point of them?
414
00:36:32,357 --> 00:36:34,735
Now you're talking.
415
00:36:34,901 --> 00:36:37,074
Those are my sentiments exactly.
416
00:36:37,237 --> 00:36:40,241
Mr. Morrison, no matter what you may think,
no matter what you may believe,
417
00:36:40,407 --> 00:36:42,125
a building permit is not optional.
418
00:36:43,284 --> 00:36:46,333
And just so you and I are perfectly clear,
that Stop Work order,
419
00:36:46,496 --> 00:36:48,376
that's a legally binding document.
Yeah, yeah.
420
00:36:51,459 --> 00:36:53,507
Ignore it at your peril.
421
00:37:04,556 --> 00:37:07,184
"This notice shall not be removed."
422
00:37:08,059 --> 00:37:09,857
Well?
423
00:37:10,895 --> 00:37:13,193
Well, you want me to tell
you what you want to hear
424
00:37:13,356 --> 00:37:15,779
or what I think you should do?
425
00:37:20,029 --> 00:37:23,078
When did we become a
country of bureaucrats?
426
00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:25,460
Look, save yourself the trouble.
It's not worth it.
427
00:37:25,618 --> 00:37:27,996
Just don't build until
Jeff finishes the plans.
428
00:37:28,163 --> 00:37:30,558
The whole thing will blow over.
You know they're asking me
429
00:37:30,582 --> 00:37:33,927
to pay another $300 just to
get the damn things approved.
430
00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:35,928
I imagine you won't go bankrupt.
431
00:37:37,213 --> 00:37:39,181
Open up your wallet,
432
00:37:39,340 --> 00:37:42,014
welcome the moths to the 21st century.
433
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,523
Well, okay.
434
00:37:47,682 --> 00:37:51,607
If you're telling me
that's the way the world works, I'll do it.
435
00:37:52,687 --> 00:37:56,032
But I still feel I'm being asked to pay
for other people's mistakes.
436
00:37:56,900 --> 00:37:58,277
You better put this back up.
437
00:38:18,838 --> 00:38:21,136
Craig!
438
00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:36,314
Irene? What's wrong?
439
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:39,113
Where were you?
440
00:38:39,275 --> 00:38:42,370
I called you, but you didn't answer.
I didn't know where you'd gone.
441
00:38:42,529 --> 00:38:44,782
Easy, easy.
I told you I was in the shop.
442
00:38:44,948 --> 00:38:47,997
How could I have forgotten that?
I'm sorry.
443
00:38:48,910 --> 00:38:50,503
I wasn't gone that long.
444
00:38:52,247 --> 00:38:53,749
Don't do that again.
445
00:38:55,166 --> 00:38:58,670
_ Okay. Okay.
446
00:39:28,283 --> 00:39:30,377
Well, you better be careful up there.
447
00:39:30,535 --> 00:39:34,210
You know, it's my feeling
that a man over 70
448
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:37,216
should never be up on a
ladder in the first place.
449
00:39:38,167 --> 00:39:40,761
It's tempting fate.
450
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,675
Chester, don't you have someplace else
you're supposed to be?
451
00:39:47,468 --> 00:39:50,893
Aw, looks like you got company.
452
00:39:51,681 --> 00:39:54,480
Oh, Jesus, what now?
453
00:40:02,901 --> 00:40:04,949
Just stay out of it.
454
00:40:06,154 --> 00:40:07,154
Mr. Daigle.
455
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,078
I thought you and I were square.
456
00:40:10,241 --> 00:40:11,242
We were...
457
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:13,787
until I did the framing inspection.
458
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:24,553
It says here that the wood I'm using
to frame my house is not stamped?
459
00:40:25,214 --> 00:40:29,344
As noted in my report, there are a number
of building code violations.
460
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:33,185
Most of them can be fixed, but I'm not sure
how you're going to remedy the fact
461
00:40:33,348 --> 00:40:36,101
that none of your wood was stamped
by a certified inspector.
462
00:40:36,267 --> 00:40:39,612
And your joists and trusses
were not engineer-approved.
463
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:47,988
I realize you're probably
a very busy man, Mr. Daigle.
464
00:40:49,405 --> 00:40:51,999
Would you mind humoring me for a moment?
465
00:41:05,838 --> 00:41:07,215
In order to qualify for your job,
466
00:41:07,382 --> 00:41:11,933
did you have to have any
kind of expertise in lumber?
467
00:41:12,095 --> 00:41:14,939
Or at least a working
knowledge of the subject?
468
00:41:15,098 --> 00:41:18,318
Yes, of course.
Well then, in that case,
469
00:41:18,476 --> 00:41:21,605
huh... forgive me for stating the obvious
to a man of your training,
470
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:25,821
but I'd hate to think
there was any kind of misunderstanding.
471
00:41:27,485 --> 00:41:30,455
All of the wood in this house
is old-growth spruce...
472
00:41:31,781 --> 00:41:35,251
that's been air-dried
for at least two years.
473
00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:38,630
I'd also like to point out
that there's not a single stud
474
00:41:38,788 --> 00:41:41,041
or sill plate that's warped or twisted.
475
00:41:42,667 --> 00:41:44,761
Go ahead, see for yourself.
476
00:41:44,919 --> 00:41:46,762
I believe you,
I looked at them myself...
477
00:41:46,921 --> 00:41:49,470
Okay, okay, so then we have
no argument there, then?
478
00:41:50,008 --> 00:41:53,137
Now as for the floor joists
and the roof trusses...
479
00:41:54,095 --> 00:41:56,518
I built them the way my father
taught me to build them.
480
00:41:58,766 --> 00:42:00,860
Do you have any idea what
he did for a living?
481
00:42:01,769 --> 00:42:04,192
No, I don't.
He was a shipwright.
482
00:42:05,148 --> 00:42:07,367
St. Martins was the third largest
shipbuilding centre
483
00:42:07,525 --> 00:42:09,448
on the Eastern Seaboard at that time.
484
00:42:10,111 --> 00:42:12,990
Over 500 sailing vessels
came out of those yards.
485
00:42:13,156 --> 00:42:16,660
So, like most of the men
who worked around here,
486
00:42:16,826 --> 00:42:19,079
he knew a thing or two about joinery.
487
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:23,174
I'm sure he did.
But that's not the point, sir.
488
00:42:23,332 --> 00:42:28,213
Well, then, what exactly is the point, sir?
489
00:42:29,172 --> 00:42:33,177
To maintain safety standards,
we need to have wood that is stamped.
490
00:42:33,718 --> 00:42:36,392
And I'm sorry, but you
are not an exception.
491
00:42:36,554 --> 00:42:39,182
Have you not listened to a word I said?!
492
00:42:39,348 --> 00:42:40,725
Look around!
493
00:42:40,892 --> 00:42:44,317
Take all the time you
need to evaluate my work,
494
00:42:44,479 --> 00:42:47,904
and then you tell me whether or not
I'm building a sound house!
495
00:42:48,733 --> 00:42:51,202
I paid $400 for your permit,
496
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,579
I went to the trouble of
having plans drawn up,
497
00:42:53,738 --> 00:42:57,663
and now you're telling me
that my material is sub-standard?! Ha!
498
00:42:59,410 --> 00:43:02,835
I may not be the most sophisticated man
in the world, Mr. Daigle,
499
00:43:02,997 --> 00:43:04,795
but there is one thing I do know,
500
00:43:04,957 --> 00:43:06,584
and that's lumber.
501
00:43:07,710 --> 00:43:11,135
Look, I don't have the time or patience
to argue with you,
502
00:43:11,297 --> 00:43:13,049
because there is zero leeway on this!
503
00:43:13,216 --> 00:43:16,015
Deal with the violations
or I will pull the permit
504
00:43:16,177 --> 00:43:18,020
and bulldoze this place.
505
00:43:25,103 --> 00:43:26,320
Is that a threat?
506
00:43:28,606 --> 00:43:31,405
No. It's the law.
507
00:43:42,036 --> 00:43:43,333
Not a word.
508
00:44:20,408 --> 00:44:21,500
Irene.
509
00:44:35,298 --> 00:44:36,515
Irene...
510
00:44:49,061 --> 00:44:50,108
Irene...
511
00:44:55,109 --> 00:44:56,361
Craig...
512
00:44:56,527 --> 00:44:59,531
Don't move. Don't move.
513
00:45:40,988 --> 00:45:42,786
I fell down the stairs.
514
00:45:44,575 --> 00:45:45,576
Yeah, you did.
515
00:45:47,954 --> 00:45:49,001
How are you feeling?
516
00:45:50,373 --> 00:45:51,590
Not so bad.
517
00:45:55,169 --> 00:45:56,386
Did I break anything?
518
00:45:58,881 --> 00:46:00,975
No.
519
00:46:05,596 --> 00:46:07,473
What's wrong?
520
00:46:08,933 --> 00:46:10,185
Nothing.
521
00:46:11,894 --> 00:46:13,567
Are you going to tell me?
522
00:46:19,527 --> 00:46:22,622
I'm just worried that our
luck's beginning to run out.
523
00:46:24,282 --> 00:46:27,957
No, I don't think so.
524
00:46:28,119 --> 00:46:31,498
Oh really?
How do you figure that?
525
00:46:32,498 --> 00:46:35,798
By all rights, I should have broken my hip.
526
00:46:36,877 --> 00:46:39,596
It's got to count for
something, doesn't it?
527
00:46:50,683 --> 00:46:51,809
What are you doing?
528
00:46:53,144 --> 00:46:56,239
Oh... Just in case you forget,
I put these gates up.
529
00:46:56,397 --> 00:47:00,118
Oh... I won't forget.
530
00:47:01,235 --> 00:47:02,657
Of course you won't.
531
00:47:02,820 --> 00:47:04,663
But... just in case.
532
00:47:04,822 --> 00:47:08,452
I don't think it's a good idea
for you to be on the stairs right now.
533
00:47:09,660 --> 00:47:13,961
Oh, and the bathroom is
outside, just for now.
534
00:47:20,046 --> 00:47:21,298
Where's the bathroom?
535
00:47:22,965 --> 00:47:24,342
On the porch.
536
00:47:24,508 --> 00:47:26,181
I love you.
537
00:47:29,805 --> 00:47:31,523
My handsome man...
538
00:47:31,682 --> 00:47:33,025
Where are you going?
539
00:47:33,184 --> 00:47:35,778
In town, for some groceries.
540
00:47:36,687 --> 00:47:38,127
I'm going to make us dinner tonight.
541
00:47:39,982 --> 00:47:42,906
Did I bump my head or lose my mind?
You're cooking?
542
00:47:43,694 --> 00:47:45,412
Well, if you can read, you can cook.
543
00:47:45,571 --> 00:47:48,120
That's what my father always used to say.
544
00:47:48,282 --> 00:47:52,583
Well, it's certainly taken you long enough
to test his theory out.
545
00:48:16,352 --> 00:48:17,353
Hey, Dad.
546
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,898
Hi, Ruthie.
Where's Mom?
547
00:48:21,190 --> 00:48:22,282
She's taking a nap.
548
00:48:26,237 --> 00:48:29,912
Is that the, uh...
porta-potty from Linda's wedding?
549
00:48:32,118 --> 00:48:33,119
Yeah.
550
00:48:34,995 --> 00:48:36,463
It sets the porch off nicely.
551
00:48:38,332 --> 00:48:40,334
It, uh... goes well with the freezers.
552
00:48:41,419 --> 00:48:44,218
Well, that's one of the
advantages of growing old.
553
00:48:45,172 --> 00:48:48,517
You don't care so much about
keeping up appearances.
554
00:48:52,263 --> 00:48:53,731
Dad, I know what happened.
555
00:48:55,474 --> 00:48:57,522
My friend Jeannie's a
nurse at the hospital.
556
00:48:58,644 --> 00:49:00,066
You should have called.
557
00:49:00,855 --> 00:49:02,323
You know, I never did like Jeannie.
558
00:49:03,274 --> 00:49:06,869
As I remember, she was always sticking
her nose in other people's business.
559
00:49:08,612 --> 00:49:10,410
Would you have told us?
560
00:49:15,911 --> 00:49:17,163
No.
561
00:49:19,331 --> 00:49:20,332
Why not?!
562
00:49:20,499 --> 00:49:23,878
Well now, Ruthie, don't
take this personally,
563
00:49:24,587 --> 00:49:27,636
but I imagine that you and
your brothers and your sisters
564
00:49:27,798 --> 00:49:30,802
would have come to a different conclusion
about what to do next.
565
00:49:33,762 --> 00:49:38,188
Well, it's been obvious for a while now
that Mom is getting worse.
566
00:49:38,350 --> 00:49:39,727
You think I'm not aware of that?
567
00:49:40,978 --> 00:49:44,232
That's why I'm building the house.
But a house isn't going to fix it.
568
00:49:44,398 --> 00:49:46,821
No, but it will make everything
a lot more manageable.
569
00:49:46,984 --> 00:49:49,838
I've been looking into some programs
that I think would be good for her.
570
00:49:49,862 --> 00:49:51,034
No!
571
00:49:55,117 --> 00:49:56,597
It's not what your mother would want.
572
00:49:56,702 --> 00:49:58,420
You haven't even heard what I have to say!
573
00:50:00,456 --> 00:50:02,959
Besides, I'm not so sure she even knows
what she wants anymore.
574
00:50:07,213 --> 00:50:08,260
Yes, she does.
575
00:50:19,725 --> 00:50:22,478
Okay, then, if you're good
here I'll go up and see Morn.
576
00:50:26,732 --> 00:50:28,780
Bed's been moved to the living room.
577
00:50:52,424 --> 00:50:53,721
'Afternoon, Craig.
578
00:50:54,468 --> 00:50:57,813
Hello, Margaret.
Didn't expect to see you around here today.
579
00:50:57,972 --> 00:50:59,252
Well, I brought you some dinner.
580
00:51:00,641 --> 00:51:01,641
Who died?
581
00:51:02,977 --> 00:51:04,650
I heard about Irene.
582
00:51:07,898 --> 00:51:09,098
Yeah.
I'm going to say something.
583
00:51:09,149 --> 00:51:10,571
I want you to hear me out.
584
00:51:11,610 --> 00:51:15,331
Whether you like it or not, once a week,
I'm going to be dropping off a casserole.
585
00:51:15,489 --> 00:51:18,117
I want my dish back.
Do you understand?
586
00:51:18,284 --> 00:51:21,288
We're fine, Margaret.
Honestly.
587
00:51:22,496 --> 00:51:25,045
Matter of fact, I made us
a stew just last night.
588
00:51:26,041 --> 00:51:28,715
Julia Child must be rolling
over in her grave.
589
00:51:28,877 --> 00:51:31,380
You're getting a casserole!
590
00:51:31,547 --> 00:51:33,424
We don't need it.
591
00:51:33,591 --> 00:51:36,936
Uh-huh. Just like we didn't need
a winter's worth of beef
592
00:51:37,094 --> 00:51:39,472
and all the fuel tanks filled up in '73.
593
00:51:40,222 --> 00:51:42,065
I'm pretty sure we'd have lost the farm
594
00:51:42,224 --> 00:51:44,693
and ended up in St. John
if it weren't for you.
595
00:51:44,852 --> 00:51:47,212
Yeah, and Chester's been mad at me
because of it ever since.
596
00:51:48,105 --> 00:51:49,527
That's Chester's problem.
597
00:51:50,524 --> 00:51:52,151
Look, if the roles were reversed,
598
00:51:52,318 --> 00:51:54,992
Irene would do the same and you know it!
599
00:51:55,154 --> 00:51:58,784
Besides, I never liked you.
It's your wife I'd walk over hot coals for.
600
00:51:58,949 --> 00:52:01,577
Fair enough.
601
00:52:01,744 --> 00:52:05,169
Craig?
Craig, are you upstairs?
602
00:52:05,331 --> 00:52:09,962
Um, it's easier for me to keep track of her
when I'm out here.
603
00:52:11,420 --> 00:52:13,263
We all do what we have to do.
604
00:52:13,422 --> 00:52:15,925
I'll go in and see her, hmm?
605
00:52:25,643 --> 00:52:27,691
What if Dad has it under control?
606
00:52:27,853 --> 00:52:31,608
Are you completely delusional?
Ruth, Ruth, Ruth, I'm not the enemy here.
607
00:52:31,774 --> 00:52:34,197
Seriously, they're sleeping
in the living room
608
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,579
and they're shitting on the front porch.
609
00:52:37,738 --> 00:52:40,662
Part of me just wants to go ahead
and hire a nurse without even asking.
610
00:52:40,824 --> 00:52:42,952
Yeah, and how long do you
think that would last?
611
00:52:43,118 --> 00:52:44,916
Then talk to him.
Will you just try and make him see
612
00:52:45,079 --> 00:52:49,129
that it's not working anymore?
I have. He's not budging.
613
00:52:54,463 --> 00:52:56,591
Why aren't we allowed to be a part of it?
614
00:52:58,175 --> 00:52:59,722
She's our mother.
615
00:52:59,885 --> 00:53:01,307
He's her husband.
616
00:53:03,263 --> 00:53:06,688
And what if, in spite of what you or I
think, he's making the right decisions?
617
00:53:06,850 --> 00:53:09,273
He's not.
You can't know that!
618
00:53:09,728 --> 00:53:13,858
You can't be certain that you or I
have a better alternative!
619
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,328
You know, there is another
way of looking at this.
620
00:53:22,491 --> 00:53:24,914
Mm-hmm.
What's that?
621
00:53:25,077 --> 00:53:27,671
If he was asking us to
tuck him in at night,
622
00:53:27,830 --> 00:53:30,674
we'd be phoning Brock Reid
and telling him to warm up the hearse.
623
00:53:42,344 --> 00:53:44,722
And until then?
624
00:53:47,933 --> 00:53:50,903
Guess we hope he doesn't give
them both food poisoning.
625
00:54:02,865 --> 00:54:05,414
Are you awake?
626
00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:08,666
I am.
627
00:54:11,248 --> 00:54:13,501
Why is our bed in the living room?
628
00:54:17,713 --> 00:54:20,933
Because you fell down the stairs last week.
629
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,724
Did I hurt myself?
630
00:54:24,887 --> 00:54:28,266
No, mm-mm.
Nothing serious.
631
00:54:30,267 --> 00:54:32,986
It's funny, I can't remember it at all.
632
00:54:38,859 --> 00:54:41,988
Well, you bumped your head.
633
00:54:43,030 --> 00:54:45,203
Probably has something to do with it.
634
00:54:45,365 --> 00:54:47,709
Still, I should remember, shouldn't I?
635
00:54:51,371 --> 00:54:52,497
I wouldn't worry about it.
636
00:54:54,082 --> 00:54:57,131
But I am worried.
637
00:55:06,136 --> 00:55:10,061
So you can't remember a
couple of things, so what?
638
00:55:11,475 --> 00:55:13,102
We're still here.
639
00:55:14,937 --> 00:55:16,689
We have each other.
640
00:55:17,731 --> 00:55:19,904
And isn't everything else a bonus?
641
00:55:21,193 --> 00:55:23,070
I hope so.
642
00:55:26,406 --> 00:55:28,875
You know what scares me?
643
00:55:29,910 --> 00:55:31,503
No, what?
644
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:36,000
What if I forget everything?
645
00:55:40,838 --> 00:55:42,431
You'll still be my Irene.
646
00:55:49,221 --> 00:55:50,438
Promise?
647
00:55:52,933 --> 00:55:55,482
I've never broken a promise to you yet.
648
00:55:59,940 --> 00:56:01,783
But you almost did.
649
00:56:04,945 --> 00:56:07,539
With Bernice... what's-her-name?
650
00:56:08,740 --> 00:56:11,209
Punchard.
651
00:56:12,202 --> 00:56:14,375
Bernice Punchard.
652
00:56:14,538 --> 00:56:18,543
But my darling heart, she
was an extraordinary woman.
653
00:56:22,546 --> 00:56:24,594
How close did you two come?
654
00:56:26,383 --> 00:56:30,229
You know, jealousy has never been
one of your more endearing qualities.
655
00:56:30,387 --> 00:56:32,515
Jealousy has nothing to do with it.
Uh-huh.
656
00:56:33,390 --> 00:56:36,894
I would have left you so fast
if I ever caught you with another woman.
657
00:56:37,060 --> 00:56:38,903
So I've been told...
658
00:56:40,898 --> 00:56:43,697
So I've been told.
659
00:56:43,859 --> 00:56:46,328
Can we go to sleep now?
660
00:56:46,486 --> 00:56:47,612
I still will.
661
00:56:50,198 --> 00:56:51,245
What?
662
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,453
Leave you if you cheat on me.
663
00:56:54,620 --> 00:56:56,839
Oh, Jesus.
664
00:56:58,415 --> 00:57:02,136
Okay, okay.
Now let it go.
665
00:57:04,129 --> 00:57:09,101
So whatever happened to...
lovely Bernice what's-her-name?
666
00:57:10,010 --> 00:57:11,432
Punchard.
667
00:57:12,721 --> 00:57:16,396
She died 30 years ago.
668
00:57:19,144 --> 00:57:20,236
That's terrible.
669
00:57:22,064 --> 00:57:23,987
Now I feel awful.
670
00:57:25,525 --> 00:57:26,868
So you should.
671
00:57:29,279 --> 00:57:31,373
You're a mean woman.
672
00:57:44,294 --> 00:57:46,968
And, in fact, Mr. Morrison's done
673
00:57:47,130 --> 00:57:49,224
exactly the opposite of what
the Commission is suggesting.
674
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:52,478
He's tried to address every
single one of their concerns.
675
00:57:54,054 --> 00:57:57,228
He hired Mr. Folkin,
an accredited wood inspector.
676
00:57:57,391 --> 00:57:59,860
Found absolutely no fault with the lumber
677
00:58:00,018 --> 00:58:02,612
and stamped it as such on 30 June.
678
00:58:02,771 --> 00:58:06,821
He enlisted Jeff LeBlanc,
a certified engineer,
679
00:58:06,984 --> 00:58:09,783
to redraw the joists and truss specs.
680
00:58:09,945 --> 00:58:12,539
And Mr. Morrison's already added
the reinforcements
681
00:58:12,698 --> 00:58:14,917
to comply with the
Commission's recommendations.
682
00:58:15,075 --> 00:58:17,248
These are the photos of those improvements.
683
00:58:17,411 --> 00:58:20,961
Additionally,
Mr. Raymond Debley -
684
00:58:21,123 --> 00:58:22,643
you'll recognize that name, Mr. Daigle
685
00:58:22,708 --> 00:58:25,382
one of the most successful
and respected builders
686
00:58:25,544 --> 00:58:29,139
in New Brunswick inspected
the house on 10 July
687
00:58:29,297 --> 00:58:31,846
and those are his findings.
688
00:58:32,009 --> 00:58:35,604
As you'll read, it's quite a glowing report
of Mr. Morrison's construction.
689
00:58:39,057 --> 00:58:40,434
Is that all, Mr. Fulton?
690
00:58:41,393 --> 00:58:42,393
Yeah...
691
00:58:44,271 --> 00:58:46,148
Except, sorry, uh...
692
00:58:46,314 --> 00:58:48,834
You know, it's worth remembering
that the National Building code
693
00:58:48,942 --> 00:58:53,539
is not a set of rules,
it's a set of standards.
694
00:58:53,697 --> 00:58:57,543
And it's our belief that Mr. Morrison's
not only met those standards, but...
695
00:58:58,535 --> 00:59:00,537
in most cases, he's exceeded them.
696
00:59:09,921 --> 00:59:12,424
It is the opinion of the
Building Department
697
00:59:12,591 --> 00:59:14,810
that Mr. Morrison
has still not satisfied
698
00:59:14,968 --> 00:59:17,391
the concerns raised by the
inspection of his house.
699
00:59:20,098 --> 00:59:22,726
Therefore, until such time
that a workable solution
700
00:59:22,893 --> 00:59:26,193
to all 26 violations has been accepted,
701
00:59:26,354 --> 00:59:29,073
the Stop Work order is still in effect.
702
00:59:31,902 --> 00:59:34,200
Make no mistake, Mr. Morrison,
703
00:59:34,362 --> 00:59:37,161
violating a Stop Work order
is a serious of fence
704
00:59:37,324 --> 00:59:39,998
and will force us to take
further legal action.
705
00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:44,589
Do you understand?
706
00:59:47,375 --> 00:59:49,878
Jesus, what a mess.
707
00:59:51,463 --> 00:59:53,261
You ever wonder if their
minds are already made up?
708
00:59:53,423 --> 00:59:56,893
That no matter what we propose,
the answer will still be the same?
709
00:59:57,052 --> 01:00:01,523
Well... they just have to come around,
that's all.
710
01:00:03,308 --> 01:00:05,276
Nothing else makes any sense.
711
01:00:07,479 --> 01:00:11,859
I got enough work in the shop
what with the doors and the trim and all.
712
01:00:12,776 --> 01:00:15,450
I suppose I could keep going
for at least a couple of weeks.
713
01:00:15,612 --> 01:00:16,738
Sure.
714
01:00:17,823 --> 01:00:22,294
Hopefully, by then,
the wind will have shifted in our favour.
715
01:00:33,922 --> 01:00:39,019
At 11,542.58,
a fourteen-month low.
716
01:00:39,177 --> 01:00:42,431
In the energy sector, crude is down 13%
717
01:00:42,597 --> 01:00:44,395
from just six weeks ago.
You hear that?
718
01:00:46,393 --> 01:00:48,316
I sure hope the refinery doesn't shut down.
719
01:00:49,896 --> 01:00:52,319
Jeff's carrying far too much
debt for that to happen.
720
01:00:52,482 --> 01:00:54,860
And the third month in a row
that auto sales
721
01:00:55,026 --> 01:00:56,573
are below last year's levels
722
01:00:56,736 --> 01:00:59,785
all point to the possibility
of a double-dip recession
723
01:00:59,948 --> 01:01:01,388
triggered largely by the subprime...
724
01:01:16,590 --> 01:01:18,263
Irene?
725
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:29,686
Irene?
726
01:01:31,938 --> 01:01:32,938
Irene?!
727
01:01:33,815 --> 01:01:36,113
Irene?
728
01:01:39,154 --> 01:01:40,246
Irene?
729
01:01:53,543 --> 01:01:56,763
Hey, Dana, did you happen to see Irene
out and about today?
730
01:01:56,922 --> 01:02:00,142
No, I can't say that I have.
Huh...
731
01:02:38,755 --> 01:02:41,224
I don't think I've seen
you smoke in 50 years.
732
01:02:43,093 --> 01:02:44,345
You haven't?
733
01:02:45,470 --> 01:02:46,767
No.
734
01:02:49,057 --> 01:02:50,775
Where'd you get the cigarettes?
735
01:02:54,479 --> 01:02:55,526
I don't know.
736
01:02:57,065 --> 01:02:58,066
Isn't that funny?
737
01:03:02,445 --> 01:03:03,617
I was worried about you.
738
01:03:05,198 --> 01:03:07,951
I went back to the house
and you weren't there.
739
01:03:09,286 --> 01:03:11,004
I've been looking for you for hours.
740
01:03:11,621 --> 01:03:12,793
I'm sorry.
741
01:03:14,082 --> 01:03:16,505
Didn't I tell you I was
going out for a walk?
742
01:03:20,463 --> 01:03:22,591
We should come down to
the beach more often.
743
01:03:24,509 --> 01:03:25,806
C'est beau.
744
01:03:28,596 --> 01:03:31,065
Yeah, maybe we should.
745
01:03:37,814 --> 01:03:38,815
Craig, look.
746
01:03:42,736 --> 01:03:44,659
Someone's building a new house.
747
01:03:44,821 --> 01:03:47,495
Oh, they picked a nice spot for it.
748
01:03:47,657 --> 01:03:50,831
Oh, they'll have a
beautiful view of the bay.
749
01:03:52,579 --> 01:03:54,673
Something I wish we'd have had.
750
01:04:32,869 --> 01:04:33,870
Irene.
751
01:04:35,580 --> 01:04:37,708
Irene.
Mm?
752
01:04:37,874 --> 01:04:40,923
I'm sorry, honey, I can't
let you stay out here.
753
01:04:42,253 --> 01:04:45,006
It's... it's too cold.
My legs hurt.
754
01:05:03,066 --> 01:05:04,739
Come on, come on.
755
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:12,541
Oh!
I gotcha.
756
01:05:24,129 --> 01:05:27,599
No. No. I'm staying.
I'm staying out here.
757
01:05:27,757 --> 01:05:29,100
Irene, come on.
758
01:05:29,259 --> 01:05:31,978
Those same legs got you
into town just fine today.
759
01:05:32,137 --> 01:05:36,608
No! No! No! No!
760
01:05:36,766 --> 01:05:40,361
No! No! No!
761
01:05:42,063 --> 01:05:44,737
I'm sleeping... right here.
762
01:05:44,899 --> 01:05:48,278
Oh, Jesus, really?! Now?!
763
01:05:51,739 --> 01:05:55,664
You can't do that and you know it.
Now come on. Come on, let's go.
764
01:05:55,827 --> 01:05:58,296
Get your damn hands off me!
765
01:05:59,122 --> 01:06:01,671
Irene, please.
766
01:06:01,833 --> 01:06:05,258
Ow! Goddammit!
That hurt!
767
01:06:05,420 --> 01:06:07,138
Come on! Now, come on!
768
01:06:08,798 --> 01:06:11,642
Hey! Let me go!
No. Come on.
769
01:06:12,886 --> 01:06:15,355
Come on. No.
Let me go!
770
01:06:15,513 --> 01:06:17,811
No! No!
771
01:06:44,417 --> 01:06:45,669
Oh!
772
01:07:01,476 --> 01:07:03,353
Every night I would make sure
773
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,022
there was nothing on the floor.
774
01:07:07,690 --> 01:07:09,192
I forget once.
775
01:07:11,611 --> 01:07:14,080
She trips over her damn shoe.
776
01:07:14,239 --> 01:07:16,458
Hey, Dad, could have been anything.
777
01:07:18,409 --> 01:07:19,877
I was mad at her.
778
01:07:22,038 --> 01:07:23,290
We had a fight.
779
01:07:23,790 --> 01:07:26,839
She wanted to sleep out on the front lawn,
I wouldn't let her.
780
01:07:31,631 --> 01:07:33,474
I dragged her into the house.
781
01:07:37,095 --> 01:07:39,974
I mean, you had to get her inside.
No, I didn't.
782
01:07:40,974 --> 01:07:42,066
Not like that.
783
01:07:43,393 --> 01:07:47,569
You don't... drag someone.
784
01:08:05,498 --> 01:08:07,091
Roses?
785
01:08:10,461 --> 01:08:12,429
They're from an admirer.
786
01:08:19,721 --> 01:08:24,818
You never bought me roses, never before.
787
01:08:25,727 --> 01:08:27,855
You never broke your hip before.
788
01:08:29,939 --> 01:08:31,236
I broke my hip?
789
01:08:33,109 --> 01:08:34,110
How?
790
01:08:36,821 --> 01:08:38,869
Because your husband is a fool.
791
01:08:57,133 --> 01:08:58,976
The surgery went very well.
792
01:08:59,135 --> 01:09:00,728
So when can she come home?
793
01:09:00,887 --> 01:09:02,981
We'll keep her here for a few more days,
794
01:09:03,139 --> 01:09:07,610
then she'll be moved to the rehab wing
for four to six weeks of therapy.
795
01:09:08,561 --> 01:09:10,404
Four to six weeks?
796
01:09:12,607 --> 01:09:17,864
Your son and daughter have told me
a bit about your situation.
797
01:09:19,113 --> 01:09:23,789
Mr. Morrison, your wife
will require some follow-up therapy.
798
01:09:24,327 --> 01:09:25,624
And some home care.
799
01:09:26,329 --> 01:09:29,299
Now, given her physical
and mental health, I...
800
01:09:30,625 --> 01:09:33,003
I don't foresee a time when
it would stop altogether.
801
01:09:43,012 --> 01:09:44,138
. Okay-
802
01:09:47,350 --> 01:09:48,852
You comfortable with that, Dad?
803
01:09:50,019 --> 01:09:52,397
Your mother and I have
been together 61 years.
804
01:09:54,565 --> 01:09:57,819
Never spent more than a
handful of nights apart.
805
01:09:59,904 --> 01:10:01,030
But...
806
01:10:02,824 --> 01:10:04,371
if that's the way it's got to be...
807
01:10:06,953 --> 01:10:08,421
then that's the way it is.
808
01:10:39,235 --> 01:10:42,660
I realize you and I son' of
got off on the wrong foot...
809
01:10:45,241 --> 01:10:46,413
but, uh...
810
01:10:48,077 --> 01:10:50,079
this doesn't have to get personal.
811
01:10:55,251 --> 01:10:56,298
I apologize.
812
01:10:57,462 --> 01:10:59,760
I... I didn't mean any disrespect.
813
01:10:59,922 --> 01:11:04,302
You have certain... violations
against your house.
814
01:11:06,596 --> 01:11:10,476
Could you please tell me
what to do and I'll do it.
815
01:11:10,641 --> 01:11:14,612
Mr. Morrison, this office
does not have the resources to spend
816
01:11:14,771 --> 01:11:17,866
to teach people the
fundamentals of how to build.
817
01:11:18,024 --> 01:11:22,495
They either know how to do it
or they hire someone who does.
818
01:11:27,867 --> 01:11:30,245
You've seen my report.
You know what needs to be done.
819
01:11:32,705 --> 01:11:34,298
Yes, I do.
820
01:12:15,331 --> 01:12:17,584
Are you sleeping, okay?
821
01:12:17,750 --> 01:12:19,752
No. You?
822
01:12:20,586 --> 01:12:22,634
No. Not really.
823
01:12:24,465 --> 01:12:28,220
Remember when we met?
824
01:12:28,970 --> 01:12:30,347
Yes, of course.
825
01:12:31,764 --> 01:12:33,391
You were drunk.
826
01:12:33,558 --> 01:12:37,529
No, not drunk, tipsy.
827
01:12:37,687 --> 01:12:40,156
You threw up on my sister, Pierrette.
828
01:12:40,314 --> 01:12:43,067
I ate something that didn't agree with me.
829
01:12:44,193 --> 01:12:45,740
Flask of whiskey is what you ate.
830
01:12:46,863 --> 01:12:48,206
Oh...
831
01:12:48,364 --> 01:12:49,365
Yeah.
832
01:12:49,949 --> 01:12:53,328
She and I never did get back
on solid ground after that.
833
01:12:53,494 --> 01:12:56,168
My sister, Pierrette, was an elephant
834
01:12:56,330 --> 01:12:59,379
when it came to remembering
slights against her.
835
01:13:01,669 --> 01:13:04,639
I don't blame her.
It's a beautiful dress you ruined.
836
01:13:04,797 --> 01:13:07,641
She missed the rest of the dance...
837
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:09,802
and her best friend ended up
838
01:13:09,969 --> 01:13:13,644
marrying the boy she was
hoping to enchant that night.
839
01:13:13,806 --> 01:13:17,686
Is that why she was a spinster?
Mm-hmm. 'Cause you threw up on her.
840
01:13:19,395 --> 01:13:23,070
Gee... I'd hate me too.
841
01:13:26,027 --> 01:13:29,076
What do you think would have happened to us
if we'd never met?
842
01:13:30,615 --> 01:13:33,539
Or if I'd thrown up on you instead?
843
01:13:34,493 --> 01:13:37,212
Oh, we probably would
have found someone else.
844
01:13:38,831 --> 01:13:40,754
You think?
845
01:13:41,542 --> 01:13:43,135
* No!
846
01:13:44,921 --> 01:13:47,845
But the law's the law, am I right?
I mean, that's...
847
01:13:49,634 --> 01:13:51,261
Oh, here he is now.
848
01:13:57,683 --> 01:14:00,152
You're treading in dangerous
waters, my friend.
849
01:14:02,063 --> 01:14:05,112
'Morning, Owen, Marty.
850
01:14:05,274 --> 01:14:06,651
What are you on about, Chester?
851
01:14:07,610 --> 01:14:10,705
I couldn't help noticing you
started building again.
852
01:14:10,863 --> 01:14:14,367
Seems pretty clear
you're asking for a whole heap of trouble.
853
01:14:15,284 --> 01:14:18,083
Well, thanks for the legal advice, Chester.
854
01:14:18,245 --> 01:14:20,498
You charge by the hour?
855
01:14:20,665 --> 01:14:23,418
The Building Department
bulldozed a house in Upperton
856
01:14:23,584 --> 01:14:26,178
last month for pretty
much the same damn thing!
857
01:14:26,337 --> 01:14:31,639
Owning 2,000 acres doesn't put
you above the law, Craig.
858
01:14:31,801 --> 01:14:33,678
Goddammit, Chester,
859
01:14:33,844 --> 01:14:36,222
that's got nothing to do with it.
860
01:14:37,682 --> 01:14:39,184
For once in your life,
861
01:14:39,350 --> 01:14:41,478
why don't you mind your
own goddamn business?
862
01:15:07,128 --> 01:15:08,596
Anybody in there?
863
01:15:08,754 --> 01:15:10,506
Hold on, I'll be with you in a second.
864
01:15:16,512 --> 01:15:18,435
Are you Mr. G. Craig Morrison?
865
01:15:18,597 --> 01:15:20,599
I am.
You've been served.
866
01:15:53,299 --> 01:15:55,973
Do you remember when I built
our dining room table?
867
01:15:58,179 --> 01:16:00,932
We'd been using a sawhorse
and planks for so many years, I...
868
01:16:02,016 --> 01:16:06,271
I had all but given up on
ever getting a proper one.
869
01:16:06,437 --> 01:16:08,155
My father helped me mill the boards.
870
01:16:09,523 --> 01:16:12,902
I put 12 coats of finish on that table.
871
01:16:13,486 --> 01:16:16,990
Which still didn't help
when Ruth spilt ink on it.
872
01:16:18,866 --> 01:16:20,960
Oh, I wasn't that upset.
873
01:16:21,118 --> 01:16:25,464
Ha! You were very table-proud back then.
874
01:16:25,623 --> 01:16:29,548
No.
It's a very nice piece of carpentry.
875
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:33,844
Do you know how much a harvest table
would have cost you in a store?
876
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:39,433
The first few years...
877
01:16:40,096 --> 01:16:42,019
every nick that table absorbed...
878
01:16:43,390 --> 01:16:45,267
I took it personally.
879
01:16:45,434 --> 01:16:46,606
It's all I could see.
880
01:16:47,978 --> 01:16:51,232
The dent from a fork, scratch
from a skate blade...
881
01:16:53,025 --> 01:16:57,701
the ghost of someone's handwriting
pressed through a single piece of paper.
882
01:16:58,239 --> 01:17:00,367
I forgot about that.
883
01:17:01,367 --> 01:17:03,745
I mean, how hard can it
be for a kid to remember
884
01:17:03,911 --> 01:17:06,630
to put a few extra sheets
under their homework?
885
01:17:10,334 --> 01:17:15,511
Well, there were a lot of times I regretted
not making that table out of oak.
886
01:17:17,633 --> 01:17:21,103
But... as the years went by
887
01:17:21,262 --> 01:17:24,641
and... the scars added up...
888
01:17:26,642 --> 01:17:29,395
the imperfections turned that
table into something else.
889
01:17:35,276 --> 01:17:37,074
That's the thing about pine...
890
01:17:42,658 --> 01:17:44,581
holds a lot of memories.
891
01:18:09,602 --> 01:18:11,525
'Morning, Craig.
Gary...
892
01:18:12,938 --> 01:18:16,238
Seems like you've been busy.
That I have.
893
01:18:16,775 --> 01:18:21,030
Tried to call,
but there was... no answer.
894
01:18:21,197 --> 01:18:23,541
Did they serve you yesterday?
Oh yeah.
895
01:18:24,700 --> 01:18:26,794
Seems like there's a first
time for everything.
896
01:18:27,411 --> 01:18:30,961
You understand you're going to have
to appear in court on Tuesday?
897
01:18:31,707 --> 01:18:32,924
I certainly do.
898
01:18:34,877 --> 01:18:36,754
Craig, they're remarkably mad at you.
899
01:18:38,714 --> 01:18:42,594
If we're going to have a chance of winning,
you've got to stop building.
900
01:18:48,599 --> 01:18:50,442
Irene broke her hip, Gary.
901
01:18:50,935 --> 01:18:54,189
What?
She'll have to get around with a walker.
902
01:18:56,482 --> 01:18:59,110
Our old house doesn't work anymore.
903
01:18:59,735 --> 01:19:01,203
I'm sorry.
904
01:19:02,947 --> 01:19:05,120
Why didn't you tell me you started again?
905
01:19:06,992 --> 01:19:08,369
Well, I...
906
01:19:09,328 --> 01:19:12,377
I just didn't want to risk
you talking me out of it,
907
01:19:12,539 --> 01:19:14,633
convincing me there was a better way.
908
01:19:14,792 --> 01:19:16,544
No, I couldn't convince you.
909
01:19:16,710 --> 01:19:19,964
Oh, at that point, yeah,
maybe you could have.
910
01:19:20,881 --> 01:19:24,431
At least now, whatever happens,
911
01:19:24,593 --> 01:19:27,312
it'll be finished by the time
lrene's ready to come home.
912
01:19:31,809 --> 01:19:33,311
Not hungry?
913
01:19:34,561 --> 01:19:35,778
No.
914
01:19:36,772 --> 01:19:39,116
Don't seem to have much of
an appetite these days.
915
01:19:44,321 --> 01:19:46,619
I should get going.
916
01:19:46,782 --> 01:19:49,911
I've got to get to the hospital
before visiting hours are over.
917
01:19:52,538 --> 01:19:54,699
You look beat, Dad.
Why don't you take the night off?
918
01:19:57,418 --> 01:19:59,796
No, she's expecting me.
919
01:20:08,595 --> 01:20:09,596
I'll get it.
920
01:20:17,062 --> 01:20:18,234
Hello.
921
01:20:20,774 --> 01:20:23,152
Uh, just a second.
922
01:20:34,663 --> 01:20:36,256
Hello?
923
01:20:39,460 --> 01:20:41,053
Speaking.
924
01:20:41,211 --> 01:20:44,681
My name is Marty Klinkenberg,
with the Telegraph Journal.
925
01:20:50,804 --> 01:20:53,683
I already have a subscription
to your newspaper.
926
01:20:53,849 --> 01:20:55,817
Uh, no, it's not about that.
927
01:20:55,976 --> 01:20:59,697
I'm a reporter and I heard
you might be having a few problems
928
01:20:59,855 --> 01:21:01,607
with the Building Department.
929
01:21:01,774 --> 01:21:05,028
Well, that would be a gross understatement.
930
01:21:06,236 --> 01:21:09,035
Say, how did you ever hear
about a case like mine, anyway?
931
01:21:09,990 --> 01:21:12,869
Must seem like small
potatoes to most people.
932
01:21:13,035 --> 01:21:14,035
It's funny.
933
01:21:14,161 --> 01:21:17,540
One of your neighbours, Chester Jones,
started phoning me about two weeks ago.
934
01:21:17,706 --> 01:21:20,004
He kept calling till I had no choice
935
01:21:20,167 --> 01:21:22,886
but to look into the matter
just to get him off my back.
936
01:21:24,630 --> 01:21:26,632
Chester?
Chester Jones?
937
01:21:26,799 --> 01:21:28,972
Are you sure?
Yeah.
938
01:21:29,134 --> 01:21:31,432
Do you have time for a few questions?
939
01:21:35,307 --> 01:21:36,354
Yeah.
940
01:21:37,851 --> 01:21:39,023
Yeah, sure.
941
01:22:10,926 --> 01:22:13,224
" Dad?
" Huh?
942
01:22:14,388 --> 01:22:15,560
Are you all right?
943
01:22:40,914 --> 01:22:42,632
How are you feeling?
Oh...
944
01:22:43,500 --> 01:22:44,797
everything aches.
945
01:22:47,463 --> 01:22:50,512
This may be the start of my slow decline.
946
01:22:51,383 --> 01:22:52,509
Well, it's about time.
947
01:22:52,676 --> 01:22:55,350
Can I get you anything?
948
01:22:58,390 --> 01:22:59,983
I need to tell you something.
949
01:23:05,397 --> 01:23:06,740
All right.
950
01:23:09,902 --> 01:23:14,453
The Babe Ruth baseball is in the
kitchen cupboard in an old flour tin.
951
01:23:18,535 --> 01:23:19,627
Uh...
952
01:23:20,704 --> 01:23:22,752
Yeah, I already knew that.
953
01:23:24,875 --> 01:23:26,377
Mom told us.
954
01:23:28,670 --> 01:23:29,842
Jesus.
955
01:23:31,006 --> 01:23:33,225
Your mother never could keep a secret.
956
01:23:34,635 --> 01:23:37,980
I got a call last year.
957
01:23:39,681 --> 01:23:42,730
A guy offered me $40,000 for that ball.
958
01:23:43,727 --> 01:23:44,853
Can you imagine?
959
01:23:46,146 --> 01:23:48,945
$40,000 for a baseball.
960
01:23:51,401 --> 01:23:54,075
All these years, were you
ever tempted to sell it?
961
01:23:55,489 --> 01:23:56,490
Mm, sure.
962
01:23:58,158 --> 01:24:01,002
The thought crossed my mind once or twice.
963
01:24:02,287 --> 01:24:04,085
So why didn't you?
964
01:24:05,624 --> 01:24:08,343
I sleep better knowing it's still there...
965
01:24:09,461 --> 01:24:12,556
in case I ever get myself
in a really tight squeeze.
966
01:24:23,850 --> 01:24:28,230
Well, I tried to get them to postpone,
but... they're not budging.
967
01:24:29,690 --> 01:24:31,658
Have you seen the Telegraph-Journal
yet today?
968
01:24:32,568 --> 01:24:34,912
Uh, no, no. Why?
969
01:24:35,070 --> 01:24:37,414
Well, your father made the front page.
970
01:24:47,291 --> 01:24:48,759
Hi.
971
01:24:50,961 --> 01:24:52,508
I've been looking for you.
972
01:24:52,671 --> 01:24:54,218
Have you?
973
01:24:56,216 --> 01:24:57,638
Where were you?
974
01:24:58,468 --> 01:25:00,345
I came this morning.
975
01:25:00,512 --> 01:25:02,731
Wasn't supposed to be back till tonight.
976
01:25:02,889 --> 01:25:05,017
Came from where?
977
01:25:05,183 --> 01:25:06,651
The house.
978
01:25:08,228 --> 01:25:10,481
What house?
979
01:25:15,110 --> 01:25:16,327
Hmm...
980
01:25:17,904 --> 01:25:18,905
It doesn't matter.
981
01:25:23,243 --> 01:25:24,870
How was your day?
982
01:25:28,123 --> 01:25:29,841
Fine.
983
01:25:44,348 --> 01:25:45,349
Hello?
984
01:25:46,808 --> 01:25:48,151
Chester died.
985
01:25:50,771 --> 01:25:52,023
Oh...
986
01:25:58,153 --> 01:25:59,200
Oh, Margaret...
987
01:26:01,156 --> 01:26:02,408
I'm so sorry.
988
01:26:12,376 --> 01:26:13,923
Are you praying?
989
01:26:16,546 --> 01:26:18,173
I Trying to.
990
01:26:19,174 --> 01:26:22,178
Since when did you get religion?
991
01:26:24,429 --> 01:26:25,976
I'm not sure I have yet,
992
01:26:27,599 --> 01:26:30,193
but I figure this might be a
good time to hedge my bets.
993
01:26:32,187 --> 01:26:33,530
For what?
994
01:26:37,609 --> 01:26:38,861
I don't know.
995
01:26:40,028 --> 01:26:42,122
A miracle, I suppose.
996
01:26:45,617 --> 01:26:47,665
I've... I've missed you.
997
01:26:51,039 --> 01:26:52,211
I miss you too.
998
01:26:56,878 --> 01:26:58,050
How you doing?
999
01:27:01,425 --> 01:27:02,642
I've been better.
1000
01:27:09,599 --> 01:27:13,649
Yeah... me too.
1001
01:27:55,270 --> 01:27:56,396
Hey, Dad.
1002
01:27:56,563 --> 01:27:58,361
Ruthie.
1003
01:28:02,068 --> 01:28:05,242
I, uh... stopped by
the new house last night.
1004
01:28:12,871 --> 01:28:14,794
You and Morn are going to like it there.
1005
01:28:17,709 --> 01:28:18,926
You think?
1006
01:28:20,796 --> 01:28:23,925
Yeah. Definitely.
1007
01:28:24,716 --> 01:28:26,138
Hmm.
1008
01:28:29,095 --> 01:28:30,768
You planned it out well.
1009
01:28:31,932 --> 01:28:32,933
Thanks.
1010
01:28:35,685 --> 01:28:38,234
I sure hope so.
1011
01:28:59,626 --> 01:29:01,674
Gary, I want to ask you something.
1012
01:29:02,337 --> 01:29:05,181
How long have you been my lawyer?
1013
01:29:06,716 --> 01:29:08,593
Twenty-six and one half years.
1014
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:12,014
And would it be fair to say
that you've done as much work for me
1015
01:29:12,180 --> 01:29:14,558
on this case as you have in
all those years combined?
1016
01:29:14,724 --> 01:29:17,068
Probably, yeah. More, maybe.
1017
01:29:17,227 --> 01:29:20,356
So, uh... why haven't I gotten a bill yet?
1018
01:29:21,064 --> 01:29:22,611
Well, that's a good question.
1019
01:29:22,774 --> 01:29:25,277
Since you know, I make it a practice
never to work for free,
1020
01:29:25,443 --> 01:29:30,825
but... Craig, I've misread
this situation consistently,
1021
01:29:30,991 --> 01:29:34,040
given you the wrong advice throughout.
1022
01:29:34,202 --> 01:29:37,206
This whole mess may be
just as much my fault as it is yours.
1023
01:29:37,914 --> 01:29:40,034
It doesn't sit right to have
you pay for my mistakes.
1024
01:29:41,126 --> 01:29:43,049
Do you really think, if you
hadn't made those mistakes,
1025
01:29:43,211 --> 01:29:45,305
things would have turned out differently?
1026
01:29:46,965 --> 01:29:48,888
No.
Me neither.
1027
01:29:51,761 --> 01:29:54,264
Look, if it's all the same to you,
1028
01:29:54,431 --> 01:30:00,234
once you finish your arguments,
do you think I could say a few words?
1029
01:30:00,395 --> 01:30:01,897
Losing faith in me?
1030
01:30:02,063 --> 01:30:03,906
It's too late now.
1031
01:30:04,065 --> 01:30:08,411
No, there's just some things
I'd like to get off my chest, win or lose.
1032
01:30:09,404 --> 01:30:10,747
What's this?
1033
01:30:11,448 --> 01:30:15,328
It's a deed to five acres of land.
1034
01:30:16,369 --> 01:30:20,374
Just about the nicest that I have,
not counting my own, of course.
1035
01:30:20,540 --> 01:30:22,292
It's got my name on it. Why?
1036
01:30:23,335 --> 01:30:25,212
" Why not?
1037
01:30:27,756 --> 01:30:29,850
Are you a baseball fan, Your Honour?
1038
01:30:34,054 --> 01:30:35,271
Excuse me?
1039
01:30:36,181 --> 01:30:38,275
I've been one all my life.
1040
01:30:38,391 --> 01:30:41,190
I've always appreciated how
you could compare a player
1041
01:30:41,353 --> 01:30:44,857
in one era to a player from another,
1042
01:30:46,024 --> 01:30:48,994
how what Babe Ruth was able to accomplish
1043
01:30:49,152 --> 01:30:54,124
is just as understandable
and awesome right now
1044
01:30:54,282 --> 01:30:56,284
as it was back in the day.
1045
01:30:57,619 --> 01:31:01,294
How the traditions of the game
have been maintained through the years.
1046
01:31:02,374 --> 01:31:06,629
There's a... kind of religion of the rules.
1047
01:31:08,421 --> 01:31:11,891
And, just like in baseball,
1048
01:31:12,050 --> 01:31:14,894
I've always believed in the
tradition of building...
1049
01:31:16,471 --> 01:31:18,314
and the religion of rules.
1050
01:31:22,477 --> 01:31:25,697
My father taught me how to
see lumber in a living tree.
1051
01:31:27,107 --> 01:31:31,829
Truth in a wall that was plumb
or a corner that was square.
1052
01:31:37,117 --> 01:31:39,336
I don't mean to put myself above the law,
1053
01:31:41,204 --> 01:31:43,502
and I never have...
1054
01:31:45,125 --> 01:31:46,502
until now.
1055
01:31:49,587 --> 01:31:51,510
I'm too old for this nonsense.
1056
01:31:53,466 --> 01:31:55,139
My house is sound.
1057
01:31:57,303 --> 01:32:00,523
My wife is due to get out of the hospital
next week, and, uh...
1058
01:32:01,975 --> 01:32:03,352
options are limited.
1059
01:32:05,603 --> 01:32:07,276
We're going to move into our house.
1060
01:32:09,566 --> 01:32:10,567
So...
1061
01:32:12,485 --> 01:32:16,160
it looks like... either
I'm going to jail...
1062
01:32:18,324 --> 01:32:19,951
or I'm going home.
1063
01:32:22,912 --> 01:32:27,167
Either way, I can sleep
with a clear conscience.
1064
01:32:39,554 --> 01:32:42,307
And after the storm
1065
01:32:45,268 --> 01:32:48,397
I run and run as the rains come
1066
01:32:48,563 --> 01:32:50,986
And I look up
1067
01:32:52,192 --> 01:32:54,411
I look up
1068
01:32:55,737 --> 01:33:00,584
On my knees and out of luck I look up
1069
01:33:03,203 --> 01:33:07,003
Night has always pushed up day
1070
01:33:09,375 --> 01:33:12,720
You must know life to see decay
1071
01:33:12,879 --> 01:33:15,428
But I won't rot
1072
01:33:16,883 --> 01:33:18,601
I won't rot
1073
01:33:19,886 --> 01:33:22,890
Not this mind and not this heart
1074
01:33:23,056 --> 01:33:25,229
I won't rot
1075
01:33:27,769 --> 01:33:31,023
And I took you by the hand
1076
01:33:32,440 --> 01:33:34,317
And we stood tall
1077
01:33:35,944 --> 01:33:39,039
And remembered our own land
1078
01:33:40,281 --> 01:33:42,409
What we lived for
1079
01:33:47,747 --> 01:33:51,047
And there will come a time you'll see
1080
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:53,382
With no more tears
1081
01:33:53,545 --> 01:33:57,846
And love will not break your heart
1082
01:33:58,007 --> 01:33:59,930
And dismiss your fears
1083
01:34:00,093 --> 01:34:02,471
Get over your hill
1084
01:34:02,637 --> 01:34:05,811
And see what you find there
1085
01:34:05,974 --> 01:34:08,818
With grace in your heart
1086
01:34:08,977 --> 01:34:12,823
And flowers in your hair
1087
01:34:26,703 --> 01:34:29,297
And I won't die alone
1088
01:34:30,582 --> 01:34:32,505
And be left there
1089
01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:37,009
Well I guess I'll just go home
1090
01:34:38,548 --> 01:34:40,425
Oh God knows where
1091
01:34:42,010 --> 01:34:44,980
Because death is just so full
1092
01:34:46,389 --> 01:34:48,312
And man so small
1093
01:34:49,767 --> 01:34:52,691
Well I'm scared of what's behind
1094
01:34:54,147 --> 01:34:55,945
And what's before
1095
01:35:01,321 --> 01:35:04,871
There will come a time you'll see
1096
01:35:05,992 --> 01:35:07,539
With no more tears
1097
01:35:07,702 --> 01:35:11,707
And love will not break your heart
1098
01:35:11,873 --> 01:35:13,625
And dismiss your fears
1099
01:35:13,791 --> 01:35:16,294
Get over your hill
1100
01:35:16,461 --> 01:35:19,806
And see what you find there
1101
01:35:19,964 --> 01:35:22,717
With grace in your heart
1102
01:35:22,884 --> 01:35:26,809
And flowers in your hair
1103
01:35:49,619 --> 01:35:53,499
You know, I'd have been way ahead
of the game if I'd just gone ahead
1104
01:35:53,665 --> 01:35:56,134
and built that house without
ever asking for a permit.
1105
01:35:56,292 --> 01:35:59,387
Yeah, and I would have been much happier
1106
01:35:59,545 --> 01:36:01,513
if I'd just stuck you in an old folks home.
1107
01:36:02,507 --> 01:36:06,512
That's funny, I was just about to propose
the same thing to you.
1108
01:36:06,678 --> 01:36:08,851
I could check into some
options, if you don't mind.
1109
01:36:09,013 --> 01:36:11,107
Yeah, we should go in together
and get a group rate.
1110
01:36:11,266 --> 01:36:13,644
Now you're talking.
1111
01:36:14,978 --> 01:36:16,070
So...
1112
01:36:18,356 --> 01:36:20,233
you got another project in mind?
1113
01:36:22,902 --> 01:36:24,620
Maybe.
1114
01:36:25,697 --> 01:36:27,040
Do you want to talk about it?
1115
01:36:27,198 --> 01:36:28,825
No.
1116
01:36:30,451 --> 01:36:31,919
Is it big?
1117
01:36:33,288 --> 01:36:34,631
Might be.
1118
01:36:35,373 --> 01:36:38,718
Jesus, Dad.
1119
01:36:42,297 --> 01:36:44,971
What else do you want me
to do, sit around all day?
1120
01:36:45,133 --> 01:36:47,101
Time enough for that when I'm dead.
1121
01:37:14,662 --> 01:37:15,709
Oh...
1122
01:37:16,414 --> 01:37:18,792
look at this hair.
1123
01:37:21,753 --> 01:37:23,847
How long since your last haircut?
1124
01:37:25,048 --> 01:37:27,050
Oh, it's... it's been a while.
1125
01:37:40,688 --> 01:37:42,611
The usual?
Yes, ma'am.
1126
01:38:01,501 --> 01:38:02,878
Irene?
1127
01:38:05,755 --> 01:38:09,305
Yes?
Are you cutting my hair?
1128
01:38:11,719 --> 01:38:12,891
Of course.
1129
01:38:15,556 --> 01:38:16,899
Look at this hair.
1130
01:38:19,435 --> 01:38:21,733
How long since your last haircut?
1131
01:38:24,065 --> 01:38:25,362
It's been a while.
1132
01:38:27,902 --> 01:38:29,279
It's been a while.
1133
01:42:45,159 --> 01:42:47,161
