City Council meeting. It's super-boring. Celia deals with a motion that a Walter Stringer has raised, to build a family room on his house, and Celia recites the zoning law for which he's seeking a variance. Or whatever. But Doug enters just then, Sun Chips in hand, and corrects Celia on which law they're talking about. He also announces that Walter isn't building a family room; it'll be "a giant garage for his boat," and will "cut off all the light to his neighbour's dining room." Doug advises Celia to read the plans, noting that family rooms don't have concrete floors, nor doors that are operated by remote control. And it's why so many families break up, I fear. Walter bitterly reminds Doug that he isn't in charge anymore, and Doug says Walter should be glad he isn't, because Doug would have thrown him out, and calls him a "cheap-ass" for not paying for a marine slip. Celia tells Doug he's out of order, and then votes for Walter to spite Doug. However, Celia's the only one, and Walter's motion is denied. "FUCK YOU, WILSON!" screams Walter as he stomps out. Doug tells him to go play with his dinghy. Heh. Celia starts bitching about the lights, and Doug tells her they need them for the public-access feeds, ruefully adding that "no one looks good in hi-def." Celia starts to scold Doug about the rules of the meeting, but as a tech starts messing with the lights, sweeping the spotlight back and forth in her face, she loses it and tells him to cool it with "the fucking lights!" Doug reminds her that she has to watch her language. Celia says that she knows what he and everyone else is doing, but that she doesn't need them to like her. Doug suggests that they put it to a vote: "All those who don't like Celia, say 'aye.'" Everyone "aye"s, and Doug says that the public has spoken. Heh, ouch. But then, loathsome people shouldn't run for public office. I learned that last night at Frost/Nixon.
