[00:06.46]On the North-East tip of North America,
[00:09.05]On an island called Newfoundland,
[00:10.90]There's an airport.
[00:11.86]It used to be one of the biggest airports in the world,
[00:14.75]And next to it is a town called Gander.
[00:17.75]Welcome to the Rock if you come from away (Huh!)
[00:20.30]You probably understand about a half of what we say (Huh!)
[00:23.22]They say no man's an island, but an island makes a man
[00:26.03]

[00:31.01]BEULAH
[00:31.02]That mornin' I'm in the classroom
[00:33.42]It's our first day back and the school buses are on strike!
[00:36.72]So, I'm covering for Annette who's running late.
[00:39.02]
[00:39.03]ANNETTE
[00:39.04]Sorry, Beulah! How's the kids?
[00:40.70]
[00:40.71]BEULAH
[00:40.72]Not exactly thrilled to be inside on such a gorgeous day.
[00:44.79]So, I told 'em we'd only have a half day this mornin'
[00:47.49]And they were quite pleased
[00:49.10]Until I told 'em we'd have the other half in the afternoon!

[01:17.92]That mornin' I'm in my car.
[01:20.13]The kids cross airport boulevard to get to school,
[01:22.88]And that time of day people are in a little bit of a rush
[01:25.92]To get to work and stuff,
[01:27.14]So, normally I sit there and run my radar (Whoop! Whoop!)
[01:30.80]And if they're speeding I'll stop 'em
[01:33.41]And write out a warning ticket
[01:35.00]I'll write S-T-F-D
[01:37.18]Slow the **** down!

[02:02.40]That mornin' I drop my kids off at school and head to the SPCA
[02:05.27]Where I'm greeted by my other kids
[02:07.80]All barkin' and meowin' for breakfast and a belly rub
[02:11.11]Not that I'm complaining, I loves them
[02:13.13]But by the time feeding's done
[02:14.63]I got to get back to pick up my human kids
[02:16.80]So I take just one second for myself and I'm sitting in my car
