We really need to get an elevator.
That's why we have fire poles.
Yeah, but you know Cap....
...last time I checked, that was more of a one way only deal.
You know, kind of directional.
Is there any thing you need, Kayden?
Right, we need your...digital camera.
Does it have anything to do with...
....for a silly girl named...
J C?
It's not that silly.
No...
Well, like she says, who says you can't be sexy and save lives?
Hey Cap! You mind?
?
Wooo!
No, no, no. I'm the best friend, I'll take the pictures. Thank you.
Make sure you get my good side, OK?
Does she have a bad side?
No.
Hey, did you guys see last year's winner?
Oh, yeah. Right.
Here, here, give me the damn thing. Let me take the picture.
Stop it! Stop!
Go! Go!
OK. Hold on.
You looking good, girl!
You're gonna win this year, for sure.
Thanks for the support.
Your welcome.
So, do you think he's gonna pop the question tonight?
I dunno. I hope so.
Well, if he doesn't do it soon...I'm gonna marry you.
Give me a hug.
Ohhhh, thanks girl, I'll see you.
I'll see you at work. Bye.
I wanna drive you to work.
Did you catch that fight last night?
No man, I had to...
It's a good thing because your boy got knocked out!
Please!
About time. Did you get my coffee?
Yeah, right.
So what's the deal?
Has he asked you yet?
Not yet. But I think he's about to.
You are so lucky. Manuel is such a great catch!
You think?
So this isn't a fire call. What is it?
So there's the 411.
Seems some people downtown are not happy with his plans to buy this property from the city.
To turn downtown into uptown.
Turns out, they got the groundbreaking ceremony this Saturday.
Here on this very lot.
Piece of cake.
Got your ears on buddy?
What?
Very funny.
Looking good. Hey.
With all the chicks watching, make us look good, huh?
Your now in the kill zone.
What do you see?
I can't see shit!
Oh shit!
What do you got?
We got to talk. Really.
There are 2.
Hal, we got a nice set here.
Ply or block? Block.
Piece of cake.
Wait. Hold on.
Hold one sec. What do you got coach?
We got a secondary.
Primaries were a decoy.
These are the real bad boys.
[Dramatic music]
Think it's time we got a new TV set.
Right there, right there!
Announcer on TV: An unfortunate industrial explosion took the life of a lone firefighter earlier this week.
Cash Gates says that this will not be a setback in his development projects.
Fuck that guy!
Next time he can defuse the bomb himself.
What? What did I say?
Oh, Kayden.
The psychological examiner is here for you.
For me, huh?
For all of us. It's routine after a tragedy like this.
What to be harassed?
Why can't they just leave us alone? Let us do our jobs?
Because they can't. They have to do their jobs.
That means evaluate. She's in my office waiting for you.
Mr. Gates.
Is there something I can help you with?
Hello Captain. You remember my assistant Becky?
I can remember lots of things Mr. Gates.
Cash. Please. My friends call me Cash.
So what is it you need, Mr.....Gates?
I was just taking this opportunity to familiarize Becky with some of the changes needed to this property.
Once my firm acquires it.
I see.
And, are your certain that your firm is acquiring the firehouse property?
Captain, your property and one other...
...are the only 2 left to complete the monopoly of property needed for my project.
I see. But the city owns this property.
The city, Captain, wants money.
And they have accepted my proposal for purchase.
Everything has its price, Captain.
You of all people should understand that.
So this is about money, huh?
This is about progress.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you standing there.
Maybe you'll be in it this year.
It's gonna be me. It's gonna be my year. She only beat me by 2 votes.
I know. I voted for her.
So guess what I just overheard in the engine room?
I'm listening.
That's it. We just gonna sell the property?
Shut us down?
Well, maybe the city opens a new fire station.
Or worse, maybe they shut us down for good and we get reassigned to new locations.
You mean we won't all be together?
Not usually, Riley.
What if I get reassigned to Antarctica?
Oh, goody! You can go see your mom and dad!
I'm from Austria! Not Antarctica.
Oh. I keep forgetting. Good day mate!
This is serious you guys. I for one don't want to be looking for a new job.
Listen Kayden. I'm here for you.
But if you don't open, up I can't help you.
You don't even know me.
And here you are...trying to evaluate me.
I'm not trying to evaluate you Kayden.
Are we done here?
Of course. This is strictly voluntary, and not required.
When you wanna talk, I'm here.
How you holding up, girl?
Psychobabble bitch says to be positive and stay strong.
She's right, Kay.
You need to be strong not only for yourself...but for the team....
...Manuel.
It's easy for you to say.
You've always been a leader.
Everyone looks up to you.
I'm here for you.
You know...you guys and this firehouse are all I have left now.
Kay!
There's something I gotta tell you.
Captain. Not now!
You have 45 seconds!
Go! Go! Go!
3...2...1...[whistle blows]
Not even close!
No where near good enough.
OK. Everyone again!
[Whistle blows]
Ughh!
We can't just sit on our butts and let them take our building!
Our jobs. We gotta raise the money ourselves to save our building.
Tommy! I have some time for you now if you're still interested.
Yeah! Fun time!
OK sure. But what can we do? How can we raise that kind of money?
Last time I checked, saving lives was free of charge.
We're firefighters!
If we can save lives, we can certainly save this building.
I have an idea!
[Rap song]
So I...pretty much feel that I've been this way...
...or I mean the way that I am for as long as I can remember.
I see. Well...
...please, go on, as long as you feel comfortable.
OK.
I can remember as far back as my first sexual crush that I had...
...on my Mom's friend.
Boy, she was something to look at!
She had really big boobs. I mean...
...I mean...Can I say that? I mean boobs.
Go on. Go on, Tom. I'm listening.
Yeah, her name was Jill.
I fact she was around so much, that my mom had me calling her Aunty Jill.
Boy! Aunty Jill!
And then there was this babysitter.
She was older too.
I was like, fifteen at the time.
This was right around the time that I discovered that I loved masturbating.
In fact, I would try to get caught by the babysitter.
Hoping she would catch me with my pants around my ankles, pulling on my dick.
I can't believe I'm telling you this!
I see. So what you're saying is...
...or what you're trying to tell me is...
...you have an infatuation with authority figures.
OK. Is that what I'm saying?
Yes.
So this is normal. I'm not like any freak or anything?
A freak? Hardly Tom.
You've seen this before?
Quite often, Tom.
See many men in the...well, in your position...
...see me as a bit of an authority figure.
Maybe even as a motherly figure.
Huh. I guess I can see that.
Oh, you can?
Yeah, I can.
You're such a bad, bad boy Tommy.
Now come to Momma!
Wow! There must be like 2 million dollars in here!
We can't buy a fire station with this you guys.
Hell! We can't even buy our own beer and hot wings!
Well, anybody else got any bright ideas?
I'm working on it. Give me a minute.
Oh, Oh, Oh! I have another idea.
No! I have an idea.
Why don't you guys quit while you're ahead? Give it up.
Over.
This is a really, really good idea! I swear!
Mr. Jamison, this is Cash Gates you're speaking to.
Sir, you've not found it necessary to show up for the last 3 appointments we've made for you.
Our firm is still very interested in acquiring your property.
Yes, and we're now ready to make an even larger offer than we did before.
Mr. Jamison! Mr. Jamison.
I told you so.
Yes. You did.
Cadet Riley.
And to what do I owe the pleasure of this glorious visit?
Well, I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by to say hi.
So...hi.
Hi!
Unfortunately Riley, I've very busy.
I have a lot of work to do. So...
So I could maybe...
...spend the day staring at your youthful good looks.
She is rather good looking isn't she?
Very.
Oh, thanks guys. But...
...I'm here to talk about the fire station.
My home.
Well, it is a shame to see it go.
But, it stands in the way of progress.
There's got to be something we can do to stop you from buying the fire house and shutting us down.
Well, there might be something you can do.
What's that?
You could offer to buy the property from the city with a larger offer than I've made.
Really?
Riley
Do you have that kind of money?
Well...No...But...
That's why I got this idea.
I was thinking....
...maybe you could loan us the money...
...and then we could pay you back.
Riley...
...Are you serious?
No Mr. Gates.
Are you serious Mr. Gates?
Very serious.
Hungry Becky?
Starving!
Liking that, huh? Yeah.
You like Mr. Gates touching you like that?
Gonna be a...good girl for us?
Yeah.
I think Mr. Gates has something for us.
Gonna show me how you can do this?
Mitch!
Did you talk to the psychiatrist for an evaluation yet?
Not yet, Captain.
Well done. I'll guess you'll be heading to my office.
Right now. Won't you?
Yep. Right away, Captain.
Anything you say.
So.
You're telling me that you also have a fetish for women with authority?
Not women. Just one woman in particular.
He would've been good to you.
It was just too much to handle.
All I want is a willing hand.
...the fire house.
Don't say that. We haven't lost the fire house yet.
You know what you need?
You need a night out.
Yes you do! You need to get drunk.
No. I really don't.
Oh, yes. Yes you do. You need to get drunk.
And I know exactly who to call.
No, no, no, no.
yeah.
Easy.
Easy. You're gonna break it.
Here, let me show you.
I like....mmm...
...that one the best. What do you think?
I think you're real serious about winning this thing.
I'm serious about saving this place.
And keeping the team together.
Oh, I think you're the kind of girl that puts her mind to it, she can do anything.
Oh, yeah? Anything?
Anything.
Hey, you know, I make a mean pasta sauce?
A what? I make a mean pasta sauce.
If you know, you will have dinner.
A pasta sauce.
Yeah, a mean pasta sauce.
Give me that.
A mean pasta sauce? Yeah, a mean pasta sauce.
Hope I'm not disturbing you, Captain?
How can I help you, Mr. Gates?
I came to get your signature on these documents.
I believe, that one there...
...is the deed to the property.
I don't understand.
It's quite simple, Captain.
You're going to sign the deed to the property...
And that in turn will grant title to you and your battalion.
So the fire house is ...
It's all bought and paid for by my firm.
In your name of course.
So if you'd care to make it official, and sign the deed.
And Becky here will notarize it for you.
What a minute. We're staying?
We're staying.
We get to keep the fire station?
Cash has decided the best way to keep his downtown investment...
...would be to have a battle-tested fire house in the neighborhood.
Ohhhh!
Well, did ya'll here the news?
Cash bought the property and gave it to us.
For keeps? For keeps! Ahhhh!
See, I knew my idea would work.
What did you say?
Will you wash the fire truck?
But we just washed it!
Oh...oohh, Captain!
