yes? you're a lawyer? well it oughta be, with all the work i put into it. i added air conditioning, put in the pool, made all those pillows by hand . thank you. i think so too. that's why i'm being such a stickler on this house price thing. i don't mean to be a pain in pg&e's backside, especially after all they've done for hinkley, but i look around here and i think, if they want this place, they're gonna have to pay for it. and i don't just mean pay for the house; i'd like them to pay me for the trouble of starting over. cause first you gotta move, then there's decorating, and if the windows aren't the same size, you know -- you're making all new curtains. honest to god, i don't know if i have the energy. you know, i've been sick. me and peter both have. i know. they're more than a bit unusual. see, two years ago, pete got hodgkin's disease. that's a kind of cancer -- thank you. it's in remission now, thank the lord, but you never know. and then while that's going on, i end up having to have a hysterectomy. plus a whole mess of lumps removed from my breasts. all benign so far, but still, no matter how positive you stay, an operation can still take it out of you. so the whole idea of selling the house -- don't get me wrong, i'd be glad to move to some better place, but if they aren't gonna pay us properly, i just don't see the point. are you kidding? with how our lives are, if i start subdividing files, i'll be sunk. i just kept all pg&e correspondence in one place. well, they paid for the doctor's visit. you bet. paid for a check-up for the whole family. and not like with insurance where you pay, then wait a year to be reimbursed, either. they just took care of it. just like that. we never even saw a bill. cause of the chromium. the chromium. well, that's what kicked this whole thing off. pg&e came around a few years ago, told us they put chromium in our well by mistake. and since we shouldn't have to drink it if we don't want to, they gave us free spring water and offered to buy our house. it's a chemical they used over at that compressor station up the road there. i thought the same thing, right off the bat. that's why we went to see the doctor. but hunh-uh. turns out one's got nothing to do with the other. this is the info they gave us. you'll see if you look through it, chromium's good for you. when i saw what they charged for it at the health-food stores, i about fainted. not around here. this is a rough part of the world. hard times, not a lot of money, not a lot of luck. it's a challenge, staying healthy in a town like this. heck, even our dogs up and die. an on-site monitoring well? that means -- and you say this stuff, this hexavalent chromium -- it's poisonous? well -- then it's gotta be a different than what's in our water, cause ours is okay. the guys from pg&e told me. they sat right in the kitchen and said it was fine. no. hunh-uh, see, that's not what the doctor said. he said one's got absolutely nothing to do with the other. ashley! shanna! out of the pool! both of you, out of the pool, right now! cause i said so, that's why, now get out! out! now!!! but it was more than a year ago that they told us -- erin, this here's frank melendez. he works over at the compressor station -- i'd got so used to having 'em come up benign, i guess i just didn't expect it. sure wish i had longer to get used to the idea. you think if you got no uterus, and no breasts, you're still technically a woman? we're gonna get them, aren't we, erin? you gotta promise me we're gonna get them. i don't know, erin -- the way he was talking to us, telling us everything was gonna be fine -- i just didn't trust him. for what? it's a good day. i feel good. a number for the whole group, or for us? oh, my god. five million dollars? i don't even know how much money that is. i can put them in a good school. and get someone to help around the house. oh my god. oh my god. oh, my god.
