Come on, you gotta be kidding me.

What the heck is going on?

Look at all those cars.

They're at a standstill.

Sigh.

We're gonna be late.

Darn construction.

Thank goodness for the Bottoms Up Cafe.

Hey kid, do you want to see if you can get Mrs. Turner on the line?

What should I tell her?

Look, I don't even think we're gonna get reception.

It's kind of wonky this far out of town.

Oh hey, I heard this good joke about the four seasons in Canada.

Winter?

More winter?

Longer winter?

Hang on, hang on.

It's my old lady.

I gotta take this.

Hello sweetheart?

Construction.

Hey Nick.

Hey, how's the big new job?

Electrocuted yet?

Kill me now.

You've got her.

Is this Roshan?

Oh no, sorry.

It's Gilles Doucette here.

We spoke the other day, Mrs. Turner, regarding the festival.

Right.

Sorry, Gilles.

I thought you were someone else calling back.

I definitely remember you.

Please call me Claire.

Okay.

Claire it is, then.
