1:11:01
- Yeah, and throw his cellular
phone at the police

1:11:03
as they come through the door,
1:11:05
try to jump out that window,
then we'd have a show.

1:11:08
- You watch violence on TV
in a place like Canada

1:11:11
and you know it's not happening
next door.

1:11:13
You watch it here, and you know
it is happening next door.

1:11:17
- Right.
- I think that's...

1:11:19
I don't know what
the difference is,

1:11:21
but there's a big difference.
- Yeah, but why isn't...

1:11:23
Why isn't it happening
in Canada?

1:11:25
Why aren't there, you know,
10,000 murders a year?

1:11:28
- I don't know, but I want
to go to Canada to retire,

1:11:31
or something, 'cause it sounds
like where we want to be.

1:11:34
I'd like to find out what that
difference is. Wouldn't you?

1:11:37
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying
to find out.

1:11:45
Where are you supposed
to be right now?

1:11:48
- School.
- School.

1:11:50
- School.
1:11:52
- Aren't you worried about
what you're not learning?

1:11:54
- Nah, I'm mostly helping
everybody else in the class.

1:11:56
Then I barely get to do my work.
- How about you? You're not

1:11:59
worried about your education?
- Well, I've got the textbook.

1:12:02
- Why do you think
we have so many, uh...

1:12:05
gun murders in America?
- Uh...

1:12:07
I have no idea. People must hate
each other or something.

1:12:11
- Oh, you mean Canadians don't
hate each other?

1:12:13
- Well, we do but we don't go to
the point of shooting somebody

1:12:16
just to get revenge.
- What do you do?

1:12:19
- I don't know.
Tease them, maybe.

1:12:21
Make fun of them, ridicule them.
- Throw eggs at them.

1:12:25
- How many gun murders
in Sarnia this year?

1:12:28
- None.
- Last year?

1:12:30
- I believe we had one,
at the time.

1:12:32
- The year before that?
1:12:34
- I can't recall what we had
in the way of--

1:12:36
- Maybe one in the last
three years?

1:12:38
- Probably, yes.
- Mm-hm.

1:12:40
- Very low. Very low
for this city.

1:12:44
- Well, of course,
there's no murders here

1:12:46
because there's only
70,000 people

1:12:48
and it's the kissing
capital of the world.

1:12:50
So I went down the river
to another Canadian city

1:12:53
that was five times
as large as Sarnia:

1:12:55
Windsor, Ontario, just across
the river from Detroit.

1:12:58
I was sure there'd be
more murders in Windsor.
