"Mayor, I'm afraid that I cannot see this going over well. Sure, one or two cities seceeded for their own good but they were small anyways, nobody would mind one or two more border stops. But this... This is big. Really big. The people would never accept-"
"The people are the ones who thought of this! Do you know how many nights of sleep I've lost over this issue? I've been thinking of this since I was twelve years old, dammit, and the people thought of it right along with me!"
"Mayor, what if Council Member Sims was right? Seceeding now would bring chaos to the region, we can't-"
"Murray, how many years have we known eachother? I'll tell you how many, twenty-one years and three months. Now for twenty-one years we've all been dreaming of this day. Now that it's here, we can't just bail out now! This city is worth it. These people are worth it. Not just the rich guys, not just the ones living in their two-million dollar homes up overlooking the bay, no! I'm talking about everyone! The homeless guys downtown! The people on the east side who can't pay the rent for their apartments! These people deserve better than a corrupt government that's too caught up in the fact that they're loosing power to actually do anything to prevent its people from suffering. We either do this now or we'll just let the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and I for one am not going to just let that happen! Are you? Who's with me?"

"..."
"...I'm with you"
"... I'm... *sigh* I'm with you."
"..."
"I'm with you."
"I'm with you."
"Count me in."
"*sigh* Worth a shot."
"......You're insane, you know that? This'll never work. It's perfect, count me in."
"Then it's agreed. Gentlemen, welcome to a brand new age. A brand new life. A brand new country."
