01:00We might starve, too. The friggin' fridge is on the fritz again.
01:04And then, unfortunately, went right back to thinking of themselves.
01:08There's nothing wrong with that fridge. That fridge is gonna outlive us all.
01:13It's real, because throw a solid.
01:15Which just means the fridge is working so good.
01:18All right.
01:19Oh, enough of those bloody chocolate almonds.
01:25You've been eating that junk all week.
01:27I'm just supporting the boys' fundraiser.
01:29The whole scene was inspired by Bob Geldof's live-aid concert for famine relief.
01:34While Bob held a super concert, at school we sold chocolate-covered almonds.
01:39I'll take one.
01:41Being a salesman came easy to me, especially given a certain someone's sweet tooth.
01:45Pop was hooked. A junk food junkie.
01:51Ah!
01:52Too old.
01:53I was killing it. And probably killing Pop as well.
01:57Jeez, did you make all that selling almonds?
02:00Uh-huh.
02:01Good for you.
02:02Biggin' pack and icebox.
02:05Have you got any more almonds?
02:07I'm all out, Pop.
02:08What?
02:09Oh, jeez.
02:10No more almonds.
02:11Stop your sucking and eat your breakfast.
02:14Probably don't eat that part anyway.
02:17I sold them all just in time, too.
02:19We have to hand in our collection sheet for the 24-hour famine.
02:22I wanted to be just like Bob Geldof.
02:25Famous.
02:26If helping others help me look good, then why not?
02:30Right, people.
02:32I'm here to announce that I've solved world hunger.
02:34Yes, I said hunger.
02:36Eh, not having it.
02:37Yes, people want food, I'll sell them chocolate-covered almonds.
02:40That way I made $800 billion.
02:42You're welcome.
02:43Oh, yes, that's lunch. Thank you.
02:45And like Bob, I wanted nothing in return.
02:47Well, almost nothing.
02:49Whoever sells the most gets a free bike.
02:52And I've already sold more than last year's winner,
02:54so it's a formality at this point.
02:56You don't know how to ride a bike.
02:58Falafel, maybe.
02:59But then I'll sell it.
03:00I have my eyes set on the new Casio.
03:03Digital.
03:04Melodic alarm.
03:05Liquid crystal display.
03:06It shows the month and the day.
03:08This isn't just a watch.
03:11This is a timepiece.
03:13Falafel.
03:14Packity packer.
03:15Call that repair guy that works at the station.
03:20Yeah, I'm early on it.
03:21And that's what you want.
03:23We won't be wasting good money on a repairman, besides.
03:27Six, now.
03:27Come on.
03:34What, sir?
03:36How did...
03:37I was just...
03:38I can't leave a spot.
03:40Mr. Chief.
03:53Thank you, sister.
03:55All right, students.
03:57Welcome to this year's slumber for hunger.
04:02I'm sure we're all going to have a lot of fun.
04:05While solemnly reflecting on famine.
04:13If you haven't done so already, turn in your collection sheets.
04:18Later tonight, we will announce the top seller and present them with a gift certificate for a new bike from Bill's Cycle Shop.
04:27We also sharpen skates.
04:29We put the act in act of kindness.
04:32It's as good as mine.
04:34Well, I mean, it's so amazing we're helping out like this.
04:40There were three big sales and two flea markets on my street last week, so people were tapped out.
04:45How did you do?
04:46My idiot brothers kept eating my almonds.
04:48Way behind.
04:49I hate this crap.
04:51Maybe I could take a few boxes off your hands, you know, help you out.
04:54I don't need your pity, dork.
04:56And before it lights out, there will be games of bingo with prizes.
05:01But there will be no food for 24 hours.
05:07This is a fast.
05:08When Moses fasted, he received the Ten Commandments.
05:14What shall you receive?
05:16A new bike.
05:17The Holy Spirit.
05:19You were way off.
05:21For when we feed the hungry, we feed our Lord.
05:25For I was hungry, and you gave me food.
05:29Matthew 25, 35.
05:32Imagine if a beggar came to your door asking for food and you shooed him away.
05:37Well, what if it turned out that the beggar was Jesus in disguise?
05:42How would you feel then?
05:44I somehow doubted Jesus would use the Second Coming to go trick-or-treating on Ken Mount Road.
05:49So remember, be charitable.
05:51For when someone asks something of you, they might just be Jesus in disguise, testing you.
05:59May I use the washroom?
06:01No.
06:02Ms. Fowler, start the clock.
06:04Oh, nice timepiece.
06:10Okay, students.
06:12You can start laying out your mats in an orderly fashion.
06:17We showed solidarity with starving children by sleeping on gym mats.
06:22One inch of bone protection that was almost as soft as the linoleum floor protected us from.
06:27They offered little comfort, but it was worth it to sleep mere inches from box.
06:33What?
06:34So what if it's pink?
06:37It's my younger cousin's.
06:39I don't camp, bum face.
06:42Maybe I should take the middle.
06:52Give it up.
06:53There's no more of those GD chocolate almonds in the house.
06:56Oh, the floor's soaked.
07:05It's dead.
07:06Everything's defrosted.
07:07Oh, no, no, no, no.
07:10The bulb is gone, is all.
07:12Then why am I standing in a pool of fridge piss?
07:14What do you eat, crab?
07:14What's been shagging around with it?
07:16We need a new fridge, Mike.
07:17A new fridge?
07:18I'll be ruined.
07:20I wonder if it's gone for weather and all.
07:21We could store the turkeys and frozen vegetables out in the snowbank.
07:24Mike!
07:24Fine, I'll call Freddy at Simpson-Sears.
07:28Bucket rolls me.
07:29Mmm, mmm.
07:31Mmm, mmm.
07:32No sugar tonight in my coffee.
07:38No sugar tonight in my tea.
07:40No sugar to stand beside me.
07:43No sugar to run with me.
07:46Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.
07:48Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.
07:50Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.
07:53Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.
07:54At least I can't hear my stomach anymore, Grant.
07:56Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.
08:03That was a little ditty by a band called the Guess Who that says, guess what?
08:08No sugar or other food groups tonight.
08:11I'd kill for a flaky right now.
08:14And a bag of hickory steaks.
08:15How about you, Fox?
08:16Any cravings?
08:19Is she going home?
08:21Your sleeping bag's still here.
08:23Maybe she doesn't like the music.
08:25Or maybe she doesn't like me.
08:29Mark Rich through the office for a phone call.
08:31Mark Rich through the office.
08:34A phone call?
08:35At school?
08:36An absolute first.
08:38Either someone was dead or the house had burned down.
08:40That can't be good.
08:43I know you're all filled up on the Holy Ghost,
08:48but I hope you left some room for a little pie.
08:51American pie, that is.
09:02Hello?
09:03Is it Pop?
09:04Is he okay?
09:05Yes, it's me.
09:06You're okay.
09:07No, I'm starving.
09:09Who else has almonds?
09:12What?
09:13Uh, I don't know.
09:14Dad bought some?
09:15I ate those.
09:16Mom bought three.
09:17Yeah, I ate those too.
09:18Uh, Dick Dumpy bought ten bucks worth.
09:22Why?
09:23Dumpy.
09:25Yes.
09:26He'll do nicely.
09:33Would you like an almond, Miss Fowler?
09:36Oh, no, thank you, Mr. Chafe.
09:37I'm watching my weight.
09:39I've been watching your weight, too,
09:40and it's looking pretty good to me.
09:43I mean, you don't look sick or anything.
09:46Well, you look very healthy yourself.
09:48Strapping.
09:49That's from all the strappings.
09:51Oh.
09:52What the hell was I seeing?
09:54The only emotions I'd ever witnessed teachers exhibit
09:56were anger and regret.
10:00Oh.
10:02Oh, God.
10:04Freddy says he'll give me a deal on a floor model,
10:06but he can't deliver it until next week.
10:08Well, what about all this food?
10:09We don't want it to go to waste.
10:11We're gonna have to cook it all.
10:13What?
10:14Grab a pot.
10:14Oh, jeez.
10:17We're gonna have to eat enough to last our weekend.
10:22My teachers weren't the only ones breaking the rules.
10:24Everywhere I looked, kids were sucking on contraband candy.
10:28Was I the only one not cheating?
10:33Where were they getting it?
10:35I couldn't believe it.
10:38Box was pushing candy like a dealer.
10:40Like she was me with Pop.
10:41What would Bob Geldof do?
10:43Get out of here!
10:44Make it about himself.
10:45What are you doing, dork?
10:47What am I doing?
10:48Bullies are supposed to take candy from babies,
10:50not sell it to them.
10:51And out of markup?
10:52We are fasting for the needy,
10:54not the greedy.
10:56Chill out, Gandhi.
10:57Besides,
10:58not eating if you just suck the chocolate off of them.
11:00Come on.
11:05Everyone's doing it.
11:18No.
11:19No.
11:20Why are you selling food at a famine fundraiser, Fox?
11:23I told you.
11:24I was behind.
11:25This is the only way I can catch up and win that new bike.
11:28You're cheating.
11:29And some of us worked really hard to have a chance to win.
11:32Don't you judge me.
11:33It's pretty hard not to.
11:35My stomach was empty,
11:36but like Bob Geldof,
11:37I was full of myself.
11:49Oh, God.
11:50I feel like Perriot's pole.
11:54Rainbow trouse.
11:56How long have they been in there?
11:57Pop caught those in a little pond up behind the station
12:00back before they filled it in with gravel.
12:03Oh, Mike.
12:04I remember when we used to sit up there and splash our feet.
12:08Lies were big enough to eat you.
12:12Percy's frozen cod tongues.
12:14I remember when you brought those home.
12:16They were one of your very first clients at the station.
12:18I was so proud of you.
12:20Let's fry the feet of tongues.
12:22No, no, no, no.
12:22I don't like to eat tongues.
12:24I don't like to taste anything that can taste me back.
12:26The pink poodle.
12:33That place closed years ago.
12:34When were we there?
12:35Oh, that was just before Mark was born.
12:39Miss Feist did the trick.
12:40Yeah, he shot out of you like Evel Knievel out of a cannon.
12:45Oh, Mike.
12:46Remember when they were small?
12:48Where did the time go at all?
12:50Oh, it wasn't that long ago.
12:52It was just 1974.
12:56Yeah, that might be pushing it a bit.
12:57Evel Knievel.
13:09Eureka.
13:13Hey, Pop.
13:14Hey.
13:15Woo-hoo.
13:16Good.
13:16Good to see you.
13:17What are you doing here?
13:18No, I was just, uh, I was just looking for a pencil.
13:24I was going to leave you a message.
13:25What's the message?
13:30Your mother wants to invite Dick here for supper.
13:35Really?
13:36Is Mike gone?
13:38Calm yourself.
13:40No, we're all going to be there.
13:41Well, you could have just called.
13:44Yeah, I could have done.
13:45But, you know, I wanted to see my grandson in action.
13:51Well, okay.
13:53I can show you around if you want.
13:54We got some time.
13:55Nah, it's okay.
13:56Ah, I've seen enough.
13:57Yeah.
13:58No, it's really fabulous.
14:02It's a way bigger office than Mike's.
14:05Great.
14:06All right.
14:07Keep up the good work.
14:09Ah, yeah.
14:10Hey, gang.
14:12Time for bingo, which we play every Saturday night at the Parish Hall.
14:17I noticed a lot of you have not been going.
14:22Been going.
14:25Tough room.
14:26Must be the hunger.
14:28Under the B, we have four.
14:31B4.
14:33As in before Christ.
14:35B.C.
14:37Dinosaurs.
14:38Very cool.
14:39Next, we have...
14:42I can't believe he's doing this.
14:44G.
14:45He's making a first out of it.
14:47And these kids are no better.
14:49This is supposed to be a fast, not Halloween party.
14:53We have I-19.
14:57Why aren't you saying anything?
15:00I-19.
15:02Open your mouth.
15:04Next.
15:04B-1.
15:08I just sucked the chocolate off.
15:09I swear.
15:11Judas.
15:12No, I don't see what the big deal is.
15:14The money still goes to charity.
15:16My hunger mixed with my anger, twisting my stomach like a sponge being strained.
15:20I had had enough.
15:21B-1 as in Obi-Wan.
15:24Can we talk?
15:24Kenobi.
15:25Not here.
15:26I love Star Wars.
15:27Anybody else?
15:28I wish I had a lightsaber right now.
15:34All right, Edo.
15:35This is going to have to do us until Monday.
15:37You too.
15:38I'm not really very hungry.
15:40Not for this mishmash, anyway.
15:42Well, there are no more chocolates, so it's this or nothing.
15:44Well, nothing sounds perfect.
15:47I'll just have that, then.
15:50I love his wieners and fish sticks.
15:53My favorite.
15:54Dick gorged himself like a stray dog in a bologna factory dumpster.
15:58Pilot high indeed.
16:01Cool.
16:02Jeez, Dick, how can you eat all that?
16:04Well, just a bit of wieners, peas, chocolate cake, eggs, fish sticks, and mystery meat.
16:11It's rainbow trout.
16:12Mmm.
16:14Where's the gravy?
16:17There we go.
16:19Get some on the cake.
16:20Oh, jeez.
16:21Yeah.
16:31Why do you even need a bike?
16:33You already have one.
16:34You wouldn't understand.
16:35Try me.
16:36I just need a new one, okay?
16:38You mean you want a new one?
16:40No.
16:41I need one.
16:43My dumb brothers wrecked mine doing wheelies.
16:47My house isn't like yours.
16:49Sometimes it's just better not to be there.
16:53So I just ride it not to think about stuff.
16:56You know?
16:56To me, the bike was a prize I didn't even want.
17:00But to Fox, it was everything.
17:02Besides, all I've ever had has been hand-me-downs.
17:05Boys' bikes.
17:06It's gross.
17:07I'm sorry.
17:09I'm sorry.
17:09I didn't know.
17:10I don't matter now, anyways.
17:12I'm out of time.
17:14No cheating, right?
17:15Well, you make some money, though.
17:17You know, that's what counts.
17:18Look, uh, give me your sheet.
17:20I'll turn it into mine.
17:21Whatever.
17:22I should have known.
17:23I mean, when do I ever win, right?
17:25Okay.
17:28Here.
17:29On the house.
17:34Our lord had gone 40 days and nights.
17:37I had gone 4 hours and 14 minutes.
17:39Surely that was close enough.
17:42After all, did anyone even care about the rules anymore?
17:45If you find honey, eat just enough.
17:50Too much of it, and you will vomit.
17:54Proverbs 25.16
17:55Where did you get those almonds?
18:06Can't talk with your mouth full?
18:09Oh, you just ate up any chance of winning that bike.
18:11You're disqualified.
18:13Now, go say seven Hail Marys and think about what you've done.
18:18I'm sorry.
18:19Sorry.
18:19Sorry.
18:39Thank you, Tina.
18:43Last call for collection sheets.
18:47Thank you, Mark.
18:52Thanks for not ratting me out.
18:54Snitches get stitches, right?
18:56Students.
18:56It appears we have a winner.
19:01Mr. Chase.
19:02Thank you, Miss Fowler.
19:03So the winner of the new bike is...
19:07Fox!
19:09Fox!
19:11Ow.
19:17Come get your coupon.
19:18I copy off you enough to know your handwriting when I see it.
19:39Impossible.
19:40It says your name right there.
19:42Besides, I'm disqualified.
19:43I don't need your charity.
19:48I don't even know how to ride a bike.
19:51But maybe you could teach me.
19:55That and another box of almonds should cover it.
19:58Yeah, maybe I should sleep in the middle tonight.
20:20Oh, I shouldn't have had thirds.
20:22I shouldn't have had firsts.
20:27Disgusting pinkies.
20:28The fridge is best kind now.
20:30Really?
20:31Oh, Dick.
20:33How'd you get her fixed?
20:36The condenser coils were dusty.
20:38I knew that.
20:39Jesus, boy, Mary.
20:41When was the last time you cleaned back there?
20:43There was enough dust bunnies for a dozen Easters.
20:46Oh, you frig-off back to the hole you crawled out of.
20:50Oh.
20:53Oh.
20:58Must have been the card tongs.
21:01Oh, yeah.
21:02Selling almonds, staying up all night, even putting on a concert won't change the world.
21:10For all our good intentions, we didn't end world hunger.
21:13We might not have changed the world that night, but I'm pretty sure I felt it move.
21:26We often go through life not knowing how hard other people have it.
21:30We might set out to change the world and realize it's a little too big for us to do that.
21:40But maybe, if we try, we can change our little piece of it.
21:44Because giving is good, but sharing is great.
21:51Sure.
21:51Okay, okay.
21:52Pedal, pedal, pedal.
21:53You got this.
21:54You've done it before.
21:55Come on.
21:55Okay.
21:55There we go.
21:56Yeah.
21:57Yeah.
21:58Okay.
21:58Yeah, I got it.
21:59Turn.
22:00Turn.
22:00That, that.
22:01Yep, yep, yep.
22:01Careful, careful, careful.
22:02Okay.
22:03Okay.
22:03Yes!
22:03You did it!
22:04Yeah!
22:04Yeah!
22:04Got it!
22:05Woo!
22:07Okay.
22:08Keep going.
22:09Yeah.
22:09You're a little faster.
22:10Are you sure?
22:11Yeah.
22:11Come on.
22:12Okay.
22:14You're a little faster.
