:07:19
Well, here's hoping.
:07:21
With luck, Gotham will have its first
merry Christmas in years.
:07:24
I feel almost vulgar at Yuletide...
:07:27
...mentioning the new power plant.
:07:29
But if we're to break ground
when we must, I'll need permits...
:07:33
...variances, tax incentives.
That sort of pesky nonsense.
:07:38
Power plant?
:07:40
Studies show we've enough power to get
us into the middle of the next century.
:07:44
Your analysts foresee growth
at 1% per annum. That's a mild swelling.
:07:50
Imagine...
:07:52
...a Gotham City...
:07:54
...of the future, lit up like a blanket
of stars...
:07:58
...but blinking on and off...
:08:00
...embarrassingly low on juice.
:08:02
Frankly...
:08:04
...I cringe, Mr. Mayor.
:08:07
Sorry, any plans must go
to the usual committees...
:08:10
...through the usual channels.
:08:12
I have a suggestion.
:08:22
Well...
:08:24
...actually, really, just more like a question.
:08:28
I'm afraid we haven't
properly housebroken Ms. Kyle.
:08:33
In the plus column, though...
:08:35
...she makes great coffee.
:08:45
Dad.
:08:46
Mr. Mayor. Time to go down
and bring joy to the masses.
