So how old are you?

Thirty-two, sir.

Thirty-two,
good for you.

Did you know
there are 365 steps

leading up
to the Capitol Building?

One for each day
of the year.

I didn't
know that, sir.

Hm.

Now, I understand you're good
at getting the job done.

This ain't
the kids' table.

So I'm sure
you'll understand

when I ask you
the question,

why, Noah McManus,

do you want this job?

When I was 8 years old,

my parents took me
to see the Liberty Bell.

On July 8, 1776,

people gathered to hear
the first reading

of the Declaration
of Independence,

spoke of the injuries,
the deprivations,

the neglect
people had suffered

under
a corrupt system.

And the men
who forged it,

they put everything on the line
to defend their fellow man.

They fought for
a better way of life.

Senator Hayden,

I've seen you fight too.

I've seen you fight
for the disenfranchised,

the forgotten,
the destitute.

I know that you strive
to make the difference.

And as the current chief
of staff to the mayor of Boston,

I strive too,
every single day.

But I know, senator,
that it is your office

that has the power to affect
lives throughout the country.

And I believe
that every person

has the right
to be served,

no matter
who they are.

And I believe that
you feel the same way.

And that--

That is why I want
to work for you, sir.

(Phone ringing)

Yeah?

We'll be right down.

Senator,

they're ready
for the vote.

Pleasure
to meet you, Noah.

And you, sir.

We appreciate
you coming in.

We'll be
in touch, okay?

Sure, thanks.

The senator had
one more question.

Can you start
next Thursday?

Of course.

All right.

(Mouthing words)

Yes!

(Ringing)

So?

NOAH:
Schedule the movers.

What?
You got it?

Wendy, it was crazy.

I was sitting there
and I don't know

what came over
me, you know?

but all of a sudden--
When do you start?

Next week.

I still can't
believe it.

Anyway, if we
leave Monday,

drive down and start looking
for a place we could--

We?

Noah, I thought you understood
the ramifications of this, Noah.

Ramifications?

And could you not say my
name twice in a sentence?

It kind
of freaks me out.

Noah, listen to me.

Live-in girlfriend is
not a prestigious title.

And by the way,
I already own it.

Moving requires more.

Fiancé, wife,
those are titles, Noah.

Wendy--
Noah, my parents are expecting

an announcement soon,
and quite frankly, so am I.

Can't I just enjoy this moment,
you know, without this moment?

Sweetie, enjoy it all you want,
but while you're in it,

celebrating all alone,

just know that if we
are not married,

that is what you're
entire life will be like.

Nice, Wendy.

I'll see you tonight.

Can't wait.

I got to go.

(Sighing)

No way.

You want to bet?

Congratulations!

I can't believe this!
What was it like?

Well--
What am I asking what it was like for?

You got the job.

It was amazing.

God, this is crazy.
Yeah, yeah.

And you know what else is crazy?
What's that?

I think I'm going
to propose to Wendy.

Now?

Yeah.

Now?
Now.

Noah, you're about to start
the job of a lifetime,

a job you've
wanted forever,

move to a city
you've never lived in,

and simultaneously you want
to start planning a wedding?

You're going
to ask her now?

This is not sounding
like a good idea.

I just want you to know that
as a friend, your best friend.

You're being negative.

No, I'm just stating
the facts and my opinion,

which is that
you're totally nuts.

Come on, just support me even
though you don't agree with me.

Best friends do that
for each other sometimes.

Yeah, I know, and I've
never understood that.

(Sighing)

You going to be able to survive
around here without me?

The Red Sox might
missy you, but I won't.

All right.

No, no, no, wait.
I was just joking.

I was just joking.

It was crazy, man.

"Mayor Grantt and District
Attorney Perkins in dead heat."

"Grantt's lead vanishes."

If everyone isn't aware by now,
I'm an incumbent mayor.

The election is in three weeks,
and I've lost my lead.

Mayor Grantt,
looking at the polls,

it seems that
the voters feel

that you're out of touch
with their daily lives.

Therefore?

You and Mr. Grantt enjoy

two lovely
multi-million-dollar homes,

one in Beacon Hill
and one in Nantucket.

Wave your salary
for the term,

and in exchange
for your services,

you will accept
a fee of $1.

I should work for nothing?

It's a buck.
Better be something else.

Small business
is at the heart

of this commonwealth's
economy.

And for over three weeks,

the Small Business
Owners' Association

has been trying to meet
with you to discuss their needs.

And consistently you've
denied their request.

They have a wide reach.

Call them. Just get
their endorsement, Noah.

Just do anything.

Just make them happy.

What they want
is to talk to you.

Does it look like
I have time for this?

I don't want to be
any later than what I am.

Now just make them happy,
Noah. Just do it.

Mayor!

Mayor, I won't.

Excuse me?

You asked me to make
them happy; I won't.

As in "will not"?

That's your job!

When I first ran
your campaign,

you listened
to the voters,

you looked for solutions
to their problems.

But somewhere, at some point,
you stopped caring.

You stopped listening.

You stopped being
the person that you were.

Mayor, it is with
deep regret that I--

Do you even know where
I had to go to get these?

So the ring will be
shipped overnight,

Great.
Okay, thank you.

I just bought
an engagement ring.

Over the phone,
that you found online?

That's romantic.

Hey, it will be.

Look, I'm going
to bring Wendy here.

It's in Cape Cod.

And we're going
to move to DC.

Wow, it sounds perfect.

Anyway, we only
got 20 minutes.

Grantt's on her way back,

so if you want me
to do anything, or--

I know you have a life here,
friends, a routine,

but it's going to be even
better where we're going.

You're going to love it.

I promise.

So what do you think?

You with me?

(Barking)

(Chuckling)

Wow, not going
to miss the golden door.

That's for sure.

Have you thought at all
about what we discussed?

Have you?

Yes.

Really?

Because I am left
with no other choice.

Noah, do you think I want
to give you an ultimatum?

Noah, do you?

No.

Because I follow
actions, not words.

Wendy--
And so far, I seen nothing.

Noah, you and I, we have
talked and talked and talked

and talked and talked,
and I haven't seen you--

Wendy!

I was going to do
this the right way, but...

(Sighing)

Marry me.

Will you marry

Marry me?

The ring is on
its way to Cape Cod,

as soon as you say yes.

Yes!

Yes, yes, yes!

Noah, yes!

Yes, yes, yes.

Wait, I have

They were thrilled.

Oh, they want to know

Where is my phone?

Uh... Oh, and I spoke

Explain?

I just read

It's pretty clear. Thanks.

We are getting married.
Trust me

MAN:
Good afternoon.

Hi.

Are you checking in?

Well, see,
I'm not supposed

to be here
today alone.

My friend Elliot,
he warned me.

He told me
I shouldn't do it.

Propose.

But of course I did.

I decided to be bold.

So I made the arrangements, the
reservations, the whole deal.

You know, I even bought a ring
and had it shipped here.

You know, and from the picture,
it was forever, right?

I spent a lot of my savings
on that ring, which was okay,

because, after all,
it was my future.

You know, my career
was going really well.

And I had this
amazing new job,

which I couldn't believe
that I actually got.

I was really going to make
a difference, but first,

I was just going to take
a few days, which I never do,

and one
of those romantic,

"you'll remember it for
the rest of your life" weekends

with my fiancée.

Girlfriend.

Ex-girlfriend.

Honey, the ring
hasn't arrived.

What? It was supposed
to be delivered today,

under my name,
Noah McManus.

Sorry,
but I'm sure of it.

And if it's not
here by now,

it's not coming today.

That old drawbridge
could be so finicky.

Finicky?
I was just on it.

Just got a call
on the radio.

Mm-hm, sometimes that bridge
goes up for those boats,

and it just doesn't feel
like coming back down.

But they'll
fix it tonight.

And I'm confident your package
will be here tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Mr. McManus,
you've already paid

for your reservation
for this weekend.

I'm happy
to refund your money,

but why don't
you just spend the night?

I can't.

If you don't
mind me saying so,

it looks like you
could use the rest.

My-- My dog,
he's outside.

Actually,
he's right there.

MAN:
Guess he found the backdoor.

We welcome

So what do you say?

Thank you.

Is there someplace
I can get something to eat?

There's not much open now

Right.

But I've got
a good idea.

Why don't you
join us tonight

It's right here.

Everyone's invited.

Even Sam's coming.

That's okay.

No, thanks.

It's the only

I'm sure it is.

Thanks again.

Dinner's at 5:30.

MAN:
Mm, this is good.

(Man laughing)

Hi, you made it.

(Speaking indistinctly)

Noah McManus.

Nice spread, huh?

Could I have
one more, please?

Why don't you finish that one
first, and then come on back?

Seriously?

You're going to make
me get back in line

for another half
of a baked potato?

Yes.

I didn't even have
the corn or the coleslaw,

although I know
it's good for me.

Come on, look, I've had, like,
the worst day you could imagine.

I've been
driving for hours.

All I've had
is chips and water all day.

Do you know who I am?

I was the chief of staff
to the mayor of Boston.

Now, I think that deserves
another baked potato.

Do you know who I am?

I am the person who
serves the potatoes,

and I believe that every person
has the right to be served,

no matter who they are.

Thank you.

Sam.

Hi, thanks,
sweetheart. Ooh.

(Chattering)

So you guys
do this often?

LILLIAN:
All year around.

Tonight we're supposed
to be here discussing

the new crosswalk
for Main Street.

This year we're voting
for new town manager,

so I think this dinner
is a chance for everybody

to be friendly before things
get, well, unfriendly.

(Sam clearing throat)

In a few days, there will
be a town-hall meeting

to hear the candidates'
platforms.

This year we got ourselves two
people running for town manager.

Ahem, Randall Richardson.

Randal's family has been
here as long as anyone's.

Randall managed to build
himself a small fortune

by buying up real
estate in different places

and turning it
into strip malls.

I think he wants to do
the same thing here.

Randall wants to build
an outlet shopping center

and a movie complex.

We're all in bed by 9:00.

Who's going to go
there, anyway?

You know, I just don't
get why Harpswell

has to try to be all
things to all people.

What's wrong with being
a small town in a big world?

Anyway, in a few weeks,

someone's going
to be elected.

So who's
the other candidate?

Me.

Wow.

I guess when you're old,
people think you really know,

plus nobody else wanted
to go up against him.

Well, look at that.

Cupcake?

Randall, is nothing
sacred to you?

This is our
Preservation dinner.

We are having some
community time here.

You agreed
not to campaign.

Lillian's right. We're just here
for a nice neighborly dinner.

You can't buy our
votes, Randall.

And no one wants your
shopping center either.

Well, I think some
people do, right?

And in a short time,
we'll know just how many.

Now, look, can
we just calm down?

He's right.

Randall's plan will open a lot
of doors for a town like this.

Now, lay off
of him.

Yeah.

Well, maybe some of us
don't want to calm down.

Am I right?
Yeah.

I mean, let's hear
from everyone.

Am I right?

Me?

Why not?

Um...

Okay.

Well, I hear you.

You know, I understand
your concerns.

Shopping center
would probably mean,

you know,
more attention, you know?

Which would mean
more traffic.

You know, crowded roads

and littering.

Littering could
be a concern.

But on the other
hand, you know,

this project could mean
more spending, you know?

Which could mean
more income,

which in turn could benefit
the housing sector

and the employment sector

and eventually increasing
teachers' salaries.

You know, thereby allowing you
to attract better teachers

and therefore,
more families.

You know,
before you know it, this--

This town could
really blossom.

Look, Arlo and I
have only been here

for 2 hours
and 14 minutes, you know?

And Harpswell seems like
a pretty incredible place.

I mean, you have a really
special hotel here,

Sam, Lillian.

And really great food.

I mean, this was
the first home-cooked meal

I've had in a long time,

and it was really,
really good.

(Patting stomach)
I'm-- I'm stuffed.

You know, and I
probably shouldn't be

you know, giving my
opinion or talking,

because I'm not
really sure

even what I'm talking
about anymore.

So, you know, I'm--
I'm exhausted.

So I'm going

England with his wife and kids.

They settled over there,

Old Harbor Road.

The whole town is filled

You know, have her serve the
people dinner at Faneuil Hall.

Yeah, and let her
go to the phone banks

and make the calls.

Tell her to stop
going negative.

Yeah, and make sure
she takes that meeting

with the small
business owners.

Let her convince the people
why they should vote for her.

A clam bake at Faneuil Hall?

GIRL:
Dad, come on, I need help!

Almost done, pookie!

Faith, no candies!
Candies off the wall!

God, what's with
you guys and food?

Look,
I got to get going

before the kids try
to give the cat a bath.

Listen, Noah, please,
will you do me a favor?

Will you think about
coming back, please?

She needs you.

It's not going
to happen, Elliot.

Besides,
she hates me.

She'd never
take me back.

She doesn't
hate you.

Elliot, I just quit in
the middle of her campaign.

Trust me, she hates me.

Who's the one that
got her elected

in the first place,
huh, huh?

Yeah, it was you.

If you can get her re-elected,
she'll actually love you.

Look, I know you could
put us over the top.

And the truth is

she knows it too.

(Door opening)

Yeah.
Dad, we have to go.

Guys, guys, I'm on--

All right, I got
to call you back.

Give the kids
a kiss for me.

Come on, Arlo!
Come on! Come on!

(Barking)

(Brakes screeching)

Are you out
of your mind?

I forgot they put
a crosswalk here.

Yeah, there is
a crosswalk here.

And I was in it.
Hah.

You see, Randall,

this is what's
going to happen

when more and more
people come here.

You know, they're going
to be speeding off

to get the new hot
handbag at 50% off.

Maybe even 70.

Randall,
what's your problem?

You know, why are you
trying to make this place

a whole other place?

It's great.

People love it
just the way it is.

And a lot of people
are ready for more.

This town can be
whatever it wants to be.

And I want it to grow.
A lot of people do.

Sam doesn't.

I don't.

Well, it doesn't
really matter

I mean, you,
Noah McManus, are a tourist.

Sam's going to lose, and, well,

♪

Hi.

Hm?

Wow.

♪

You see her?

She comes in here
every night.

She always orders
the same drink,

and she always tells
him the same stories.

I think it's kind
of fascinating.

In order for you
to know that,

that would mean that
you're here every night.

Me?
No, he's my cousin.

The bartender?

Bar owner.

Jesse, he's been telling me
about her for years.

Ah, well, then, yeah,
that is fascinating.

What she doesn't know
is that Jesse is the best

when you have a problem

but the worst
at keeping secrets.

I thought it was, like, an
unspoken rule among bartenders.

You know, someone comes up
to you, spills their guts,

tells you something
deeply personal,

and it's like this bond
that you have forever.

Yeah, well,
not Jesse.

So does all your family
live in Harpswell?

My mother, she is in--

She passed away
five years ago.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I miss her a lot.

Anyway, my father
is a fisherman.

He pretty much lives
every moment at sea.

He always has.

The thing is, I always
wanted to go with him.

For as long as I can remember,
I would go on Dad's boat,

and I would never
want to leave.

And when I finished school and I
was finally old enough to go,

my mom wasn't well.

And so I wanted
to stay here.

And then she passed away,

and I told my dad that I was
ready to go and work with him.

I thought that it was,
like, the only way

that I could really
get to know him better.

But he thought that
it was too dangerous.

So one day he surprised me
and bought me a present.

Captain Jack's.

That was a present?

Yeah.

Wait, so your dad is-- ?

Captain Jack.

That's so cool.

I know.

I love my home.

And I really
love the store.

I love my
life here.

Noah, if Randall
succeeds, this place will--

Well, it will
be different.

What happened between
you two, you and Randall?

I saw you talking
the other night.

Yeah, he wanted me
to go out with him again.

Again?

Yeah, we dated
for a while

until we just wanted
different things.

Hey, how's my
favorite cousin?

Hey.

How you doing?
I'm good.

This is Noah.

Hey, Noah.

How you doing?
Hey, Sam told me about you.

Said you were
a good kid.

Yeah, I am
a good kid.

Listen, anything you need while
you're here, you let me know.

Great, thanks.

Be nice.

Hailey here tells
me everything.

Everything, huh?

So that was it.

I just told her I
was leaving, and I did.

I mean, hours earlier I
thought I was going to spend

the rest of my life
with this person.

And I guess I was
just too busy to realize

we shouldn't even have been
together in the first place.

Let me give you
some pointers.

Okay.

First, you have
address the ball.

Oh.

All right, take aim.

Like this?

Yeah.
Okay.

Nice and steady.

Wow,
nice shot.

Wait a second here.

Any more pointers?

I think we're
good for today.

Okay.

You know
the amazing thing?

How little I've thought
about her since I've got here.

I mean, she probably hasn't
thought about me either.

You know, this just isn't how
I thought my life would end up.

And I planned out
everything so precisely.

Now I have no
idea what's next.

It's like sailing.

You never know what your
wake is going to look like.

The path that you leave
as you move through life.

You never know
what may happen.

Well, it's your shot.

Right, okay.

you a question, be direct.

When someone asks
me a question?

Yeah, you know,
about the town.

Like--

There's a big old pothole
in front of my shop.

Visit or call
the Public Works office,

and if there's any
concern for safety,

it will be addressed
immediately.

My grandmother needs
care that I can't give her.

Work with
the Council on Aging.

They're there to help
you and your family.

I can't afford
a fishing permit this year.

Can you help me out?

That's easy.

Go to the Coast Resources
Permit Department,

and they'll
give you a map

of where permits aren't
required for fishing.

Why should
I vote for you?

Because I am
going to make sure

that this town
retains its heart

and its soul.

But don't you think
there's an opportunity

for growth under
the Randall plan?

Excellent question
but I have an answer.

Look at all small towns that
have welcomed big business.

All the stores
look the same.

Nobody has time
to know your name

or ask you
how you're doing.

They're all too busy
restocking the shelves.

You know,
and then the highway

is going
to overflow with cars.

And you're not going to want
to go to Main Street

because you're not going to be
able to find a place to park.

You know, so, yeah, you know,
I see it as an opportunity,

an opportunity to change
everything for the worse.

How was that?

You're it!

What?

No.

You are it.
You should be town manager.

You're joking.

You're just a natural.

Yeah, I talked
to the reporter about that.

She didn't get
the story straight.

Yeah, well,
straight or not,

people believe
what they read.

And they're saying that
my campaign is suffering,

that voters are uncertain
about my effectiveness,

that I may not be
"of the people" enough

to represent them.

Noah had plans for my
campaign. What do you have?

We're doing
everything we can.

No, that's not
good enough.

but that's it.

What if I can get
Noah to come back?

What?

You don't have time
to bring in a new team.

Please, let me
just get Noah.

I can do that.

You and I both know
that's what you want.

You just won't say it.

Then do it.

that's not going to happen.

Yeah, right.

Of course her property is going

Aren't those good

What about Sole's
Hobby Shop?

If that scrapbook store,

that sports store
and that candle shop move in,

what is he left with?

Yeah.

These stores are going
to bring in more people,

more customers

It's a win-win.

When are you going to stop
telling everybody else

what to do

Great, well, to conclude,

I'd just like to reiterate--

NOAH:
I can't let you go on.

It's not true
and you know it.

Noah, sit down, okay?

Of course the stores
on Main Street

are going to be affected.

I mean, this mall is going
to affect every business.

But, Randall,

you're running for town
manager, not developer.

Does anyone
have a question

about how to acquire
fishing permits?

Or where to go if you need help
with an elderly family member?

Or what to do if you have a
pothole in front of your house?

And tell us, Randall,

what would you suggest
to your fellow neighbors

who are experiencing
these situations, huh?

Well, uh, since
you know so much,

why don't you run

What in the world?

make the knot, okay?

I tried. I did but I asked
Pete at the gas station.

Just get in.

Um, here, we should go.
Yeah.

Yeah, we should hurry.

I need
to get that book.

What book?

(Gavel banging)

I hereby call this
meeting to order.

We will caucus
in approximately 15 minutes

to select
the new town manager.

Please take your seats.

JESSE:
Thank you.

Your candidates
are Sam Putnam.

(Applause)

Thank you.

And Randall
Richardson.

(Applause)
MAN 1: Randall!

MAN 2:
Randall!

Now, if you'll be
voting for Sam,

you'll make your way
to the left of the podium.

If you'll be
voting for Randall,

you will make your way
to the right of the podium.

In accordance with
the laws of the commonwealth

and the Book of Ordinances
of Harpswell County,

we will now proceed
with the election

for new town manager.

Remember, for Sam,
to the left.

For Randall,
to the right.

You now have
10 minutes to proceed.

What?

I told you
I was coming back.

What's happening here?

How did this room
get so divided.

Noah, I think maybe we've
just been outnumbered.

It seems more people
than I thought

think Randall's ideas are,
well, better than mine.

But they're not.

I think he's winning.

No, he can't.

Noah, give it up.

You and I don't
get along so well.

Therefore, I don't think this
is the most appropriate time

to start talking to me.

Fine.
SAM: It's okay.

Everything's
going to be okay.

No, Sam,

it won't.

Hey, can you stop
the clock for me?

Yeah, for you
I can do anything.

Do you guys even know
what you have here?

Sam Putnam,
he's your best friend.

He loves this town

and the people that make
this town what it is.

He's got integrity.

He's been a pillar of this
community for over five decades.

And he's dedicated his life
to serving this community

and to welcoming people,

so that nobody feels
like a stranger here.

Like me.

Nobody knows what
visitors come to Harpswell for

better than Sam.

They don't come here
for another shopping mall.

You know, they come here
to visit Betty's Bakery.

Best banana nut bread
I've ever had.

You know, and to see
Hailey's bookstore.

She can actually suggest
the right book for you.

She's read them all.

And they come here to see
the harbor lighthouse.

Have you seen that thing
all lit up at night?

It's beautiful.

And they come here to see
the cottages and the gardens,

like yours,
Mrs. Potiker.

Oh!

And they come here to see where
a tribe of Native Americans

first settled this land

and where William Nickerson came
with his wife and children

to find freedom from
religious persecution.

Sam and Lillian care
about everybody in this room.

And Sam's as
forward-thinking as anybody.

You know, he wants
to shepherd this town

through
the times ahead,

but he can only do
that with your votes.

Look, I've been
in politics for a long time.

I've worked
for a mayor.

I've worked
for council people,

lawyers,
clerked for a judge

and I nearly
worked for a senator.

Now, I've seen
them all.

And not one of those people
is as trustworthy

as the man standing
right here before you.

Sam's one of the best
things about this town.

Too little,
too late for this.

We've already
heard the speeches.

I'm prepared
to vote for Randall.

Oh, my God.

MAN:
Who here is with me?

Hey, it's not a speech!
It's from his heart!

Let the kid talk!

(Mouthing words)

NOAH:
Thank you, Pete.

You need a town manager that
will ensure that your family,

your business,
your dreams are possible

here in Harpswell.

Yeah, Randall can bring
a few stores here.

But at what cost
to you and your families?

All of us,
as a community,

have got to tell him that
he can't use this land

as a foundation
for his own bank account!

What?

You've got to really
think about this.

Who do you want
to be your town manager.

Huh?

Who?

I vote for him!

Huh?

PETE: Yeah!
MAN 3: Yeah.

What?

Do it, Noah.

Stay here.

Work for these people.

These are the people
who need you.

Okay, personally,
I've had about enough of this.

Noah, you've got
what it takes.

You've got experience.

You've got drive.

You've got time.

Look at me.
I'm not spring chicken.

I only got
into this thing

because I wanted
to make sure

that the town
was in safe hands.

But with you,
I know it will be.

Sam, I don't know if I'm
prepared to do this.

You are.

You just didn't
expect it.

Noah, you love being
in the middle of things.

You like figuring out why
things work or why they don't.

You like helping people.

You like figuring out
what people need.

You're tireless
and you're dedicated

to things
that you believe.

And I think that you are
the perfect candidate.

Are you out
of your mind?

This guys doesn't
even live here.

He's not even
registered to vote.

I don't want
him to vote.

I want
him to win.

That he can do.

Okay, everybody,
there are two candidates here.

There's Sam
and there's me.

And that's it, okay?

Actually, Randall,

no person serving
in a council position--

I mean, you are on the
Preservation Council,

aren't you?

Yeah.

No person shall challenge

a run for office

of this town's
administration

without abdicating their former
officer position first,

which means, Randall,

you're not allowed
to run for town manager,

because you're already
holding another job here.

What?
That's bogus.

Oh, really?

Maybe.

Sir.

Chapter 53, section 83.
Read it.

Thanks.
Yeah.

Touching.

Look, even
if that's true,

and I'm not even
sure that it is--

It is.

don't you people want
a representative?

You know, someone
who actually lives here?

Come on.

Wait.

(Coins clinking)

Sam,

would you take this ring

as a deposit
on a room?

Well, now,
that depends.

How long are you
planning on staying?

Indefinitely.

I do.

Are you sure
you're up to this?

Yeah,
it's what I've--

It's what
I've always wanted.

♪

My name is Noah McManus,

and I want to run
for town manager!

(Cheering)

Thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Wait, wait.

I have a question.

How are you going
to assure these people

that you're not just

Hm?

Because--

Because I'm home.
