Tis foul, aye, what have these bastards done to the wee fragile planet. (cab drives by spewing terrible amounts of carbon dioxide. The driver smoking big Cuban cigar) DRIVER Hey asshole, you want a drive? ANGUS What the hell is your problem ye bastard?

SCENE #4: (In the park, later on that day, Angus sees someone vandalizing a Scottish memorial with Aerosol spray cans) ANGUS What are you doing there?, eh?

(Mike flicks away his cig into the lake) MIKE See ya later cig. ANGUS Eh? So you think its okay to pollute the water and yuir lungs, eh? MIKE Yeah. Shutup.

If we want to be ready for the twenty-first century, we must use all of this in a responsible manner... ANGUS Eh? Pardon? This is nae responsible.

SCENE #8 (Mike Harris' favourite golf course, in Toronto) MIKE HARRIS (laughs) What a wonderful day. Now that I've shipped away all those burdens to the welfare system, killed off the sick by closing the hospitals, merged every municipality together as one, and improved the education system so as it's so challenging no one graduates, all while giving a 75% tax cut. I am feeling fine, even if I must occasionally use the OPP to stop massive riots and assassination attempts, I'm certain they only represent a small portion of the population. AIDE Hey Harris! You'd better get out of here, I've heard there's some mad scotsman gunning for you.. MIKE HARRIS I have a mandate here, and I'm not listening. No body tells Mike Harris what to do, no matter how many there are or how correct they might be. I don't bow down to special interests. AIDE (sigh) ANGUS If ye had any common sense ye bastard, ye'd have stayed out of politics!! I've got yer cutbacks right here!! (Angus shoots the Premier, aide and passersby) SCENE #9: (The factory) (Angus is busily highland dancing) ANGUS (sings Rod Stewart) ... if you think I'm sexy and you want my body, c'mon baby let me know... (two unknown individuals run up and strike him in the back.) ASSASSIN #1 We got him!! ASSASSIN #2 We've been chasing him for days. ASSASSIN #1 He will never threaten anyone again. END (roll credits)
