    Instant-runoff voting

    Instant-runoff voting (IRV), also known as the alternative vote (AV), transferable vote, ranked choice voting, or preferential voting is an electoral system used to elect a single winner from a field of more than two candidates. It is a preferential voting system in which voters rank the candidates in order of preference rather than voting for a single candidate.

    Ballots are initially distributed based on each elector's first preference. If a candidate secures more than half of votes cast, that candidate wins. Otherwise, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Ballots assigned to the eliminated candidate are recounted and added to the totals of the remaining candidates based on who is ranked next on each ballot. This process continues until one candidate wins by obtaining more than half the votes.

    IRV has the effect of avoiding split votes when multiple candidates earn support from like-minded voters. For example, suppose there are two similar candidates A & B, and a third opposing candidate C, with raw popularity of 35%, 25% and 40% respectively. In a plurality voting system, candidate C may win with 40% of the votes, even though 60% of electors prefer either A or B. Alternatively, voters are pressured to choose the seemingly stronger candidate of either A or B, despite personal preference for the other, in order to help ensure the defeat of C. It is often the resulting situation that candidate A or B would never get to ballot, whereas voters would be presented a two candidate choice. With IRV, the electors backing B as their first choice can allocate their preferences as #1 for B and #2 for A, which means A will win despite the split vote in first choices.

    Plot: New York based jazz pianist Willie Conway heads back to his small hometown of Knights Ridge, Massachusetts for a high school reunion. The trip is as much to go to the reunion and see his old friends - none of whom left Knights Ridge after graduation - as it is to get away from his current life, at which he is at a crossroads both personally and professionally. He is just eking out a living with his piano playing gigs, and as such he is thinking about taking a sales job. He's also not sure if he's ready to marry his long time girlfriend, lawyer Tracy Stover. Most of Willie's Knights Ridge blue collar friends' best days were in high school, they still having that "trophy" mentality of girlfriends and wives. Only Michael "Mo" Morris is happily married with a family. Paul Kirkwood, whose room is plastered with magazine pictures of models, wants his waitress ex-girlfriend Jan back only because he knows now that he can't have her. And Tommy "Birdman" Rowland, who was the big man in high school, is trying to end his affair with his now married high school girlfriend, Darian Smalls. Despite knowing about Darian, Tommy's current girlfriend, Sharon Cassidy, stands by her man through bad and worse. A cousin of their bar owning friend Stanley "Stinky" Womack, the beautiful Andera who is visiting from Chicago, may provide the voice of reason for this group of friends in dealing with their women problems. Some reason is what Willie may need in trying to figure out why he is attracted to Marty, his father's thirteen year old neighbor, especially as Willie learns that Tracy has decided to join him for the reunion.

    Quotes:

    Willie Conway: You know in five years you won't even remember me.

    Paul: Supermodels are beautiful girls, Will. A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels.

    Marty: I might just grow to be five-ten. I'll be hot.

    Marty: What we've been doing lately is smoking massive amounts of drugs, binging on Entemmann's and listening to old Pink Floyd CD's.

    Marty: I like to mash snow. It gives me a tremendous feeling of self satisfaction.

    Willie Conway: I can't play Pooh to your Christopher Robin.

    Marty: If I'm not mistaken, you've come back here to the house of loneliness and tears, to Daddy Downer and Brother Bummer, to come to some sort of decision about life, a life decision if you will.

    Willie Conway: How old are you?::Marty: Thirteen. But I have an old soul.

    Gina: I'm finished speaking to both of you okay? You're both fucking insane. You want to know what your problem is? MTV, Playboy, and Madison fucking Avenue. Yes. Let me explain something to you, ok? Girls with big tits have big asses. Girls with little tits have little asses. That's the way it goes. God doesn't fuck around; he's a fair guy. He gave the fatties big, beautiful tits and the skinnies little tiny niddlers. It's not my rule. If you don't like it, call him. Hey Mitch. Thank you. [Looking at a porn magazine] Oh, guys, look what we have here. Look at this, your favorite. Oh, you like that?::Tommy: I could go along with that.::Gina: Yeah, that's nice right? Well, it doesn't exist ok. Look at the hair. The hair is long, it's flowing, it's like a river. Well, it's a fucking weave ok? And the tits, please! I could hang my overcoat on them. Tits by design were invented to be suckled by babies. Yes, they're purely functional. These are silicon city. And look, my favorite, the shaved pubis. Pubic hair being too unruly and all. Very key. This is a mockery, this is a sham, this is bullshit. Implants, collagen, plastic, capped teeth, the fat sucked out, the hair extended, the nose fixed, the bush shaved... These are not real women, all right? They're beauty freaks. And they make all us normal women with our wrinkles, our puckered boobs, hi bob, and our cellulite feel somehow inadequate. Well I don't buy it, all right? But you fucking mooks, if you think that if there's a chance in hell that you'll end up with one of these women, you don't give us real women anything approaching a commitment. It's pathetic. I don't know what you think you're going to do. You're going to end up eighty-years old, drooling in some nursing home, then you're going to decide, it's time to settle down, get married, have kids? What, are you going to find a cheerleader? Charge it Mitch.::Tommy: I think you're over simplifying.::Gina: Oh eat me. Look at Paul. With his models on the wall, his dog named Elle McPherson. He's insane. He's obsessed. You're all obsessed. If you had an once of self-esteem, of self-worth, of self-confidence, you would realize that as trite as it may sound, beauty is truly skin-deep. And you know what, if you ever did hook one of those girls, I guarantee you'd be sick of her.::Tommy: Yeah, I suppose I'd get sick of her after about, what, twenty or thirty years?::Gina: Get over yourself. Thank you Mitch. Say hello to Gertrude.::Tommy: What?::Gina: No mater how perfect the nipple, how supple the thigh, unless there is some other shit going on in the relationship, besides the physical, it's going to get old, ok? And you guys, as a gender, have got to get a grip. Otherwise, the future of the human race is in jeopardy.::Willie Conway: What was that?::Tommy: I don't know, but a great ass.::Willie Conway: Nice tits. Come on let's go.

    Willie Conway: I just want something beautiful, Mo.::Michael 'Mo' Morris: We all want something beautiful, Willie.

However, a small time crime boss, Dorian Tyrel, comes across this character dubbed "The Mask" by the media. After Ipkiss's alter ego indirectly kills his friend in crime, Tyrel now wants this green-faced goon destroyed.

[the Mask un-freezes and falls to the ground] You're under arrest. [pulls out his cuffs]::The Mask: No! It wasn't me! It was the One-Armed Man! [regular voice] All right, I confess! I did it, ya hear? And I'm glad! GLAD, I TELL YA! [gets down on his knees and puts his hands up together] What are they gonna do to me, Sarg.? WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO?::Lieutenant Mitch Kellaway: [puts the cuffs on The Mask's wrists] Sorry, son. That's not my department. Search him.::The Mask: [the cops bring The Mask to his feet] Ow! Where's a cam-corder when you need one? [snorts in laughter]

    Charlie Schumacher: [after Stanley snaps at Dickey] Genius. That was genius. Buddy, I have chills! What side of whose bed did you wake up on, man?

    Peggy Brandt: Do you know how hard it is to find a decent man in this town? Most of them think monogamy is some kind of wood.

    Plot: Irving Blitzer disgraced himself when putting extra weights into his team's bob in the Olympics, resulting in his gold medal being taken away from him. Years later, Derice Bannock, son to a former friend of Irv, fails to qualify for the 100-yard sprint for the Olympics due to a stupid accident. But when he hears of Irving Blitzer living also on Jamaica, Derice decides to go to the Games anyway, if not as a sprinter, then as a bobsledder. After some starting problems, the first Jamaican bobsledding team is formed and heads for Calgary. In the freezing weather Derice, Sanka, Junior and Yul are only laughed at, since nobody can take a Jamaican bobsledding team led by a disgraced trainer seriously. But team spirit and a healthy self confidence may lead to a few surprises in the upcoming Winter Games.

    Sanka Coffie: What I am saying to you, is that you are the kind of club-toting, raw-meat-eating, Me-Tarzan-You-Jane-ing, big, bald bubblehead that can only count to ten if he's barefoot or wearing sandals.

    [Sanka reveals a hot water bottle nestled under his shirt]::Derice Bannock: I can't believe you're still cold, mon.::Sanka Coffie: Cold? I'm freezing my royal Rastafarian nay-nays off!

    Yul Brenner: How about I beat your butt right now?::Sanka Coffie: How about I draw a line down the middle of your head so it looks like a butt?

    [repeated lines]::Derice Bannock: Sanka you dead?::Sanka Coffie: Ya, mon.

    [Pre-race cheer]::Kids: Who's the captain of our crew? Who's a friend to me and you? Kinda nice, good-looking too! Sanka, Sanka, yay, Sanka!::Sanka Coffie: Ha ha ha! Get back to work!::Derice Bannock: Who's the big hot bag of air, who doesn't have to comb his hair? Who doesn't bathe and doesn't care, Sanka, Sanka, yay, Sanka!

    Sanka Coffie: The key elements to a successful sled team are a steady driver, and three strong runners to push off down the ice. Ice? Ice!::Derice Bannock: Well, it's kind of a winter sport, you know.::Sanka Coffie: You mean winter, as in ice?::Derice Bannock: Possibly.::Sanka Coffie: You mean winter, as in igloos and Eskimos and penguins and ice?::Derice Bannock: Maybe.::Sanka Coffie: See ya!

    Irv: All right, Derice. Let me lay out some difficulties for you. Snow: you don't have any. It's nine hundred degrees out there. Time: you don't have any. The Olympics are in three months. And me: you don't have me. As far as I'm concerned, the sport of bobsledding no longer exists. I don't want to do it, I don't want to coach it, and most of all, and I mean most of all, I don't want to be within two thousand miles of anybody who does. Now did you follow all that?

    Sanka Coffie: Greetings, sled god.

    Irv: Oh, yeah, just one little drawback to this delightful winter sport. The high-speed crash. Ooh! That hurt. Always remember, your bones will not break in a bobsled. No, no, no. They shatter.

    Try To Say Goodbye
    Jory Eve
    (I Still Know What You Did Last Summer)
    I'm holding a letter that I wrote last night
    Tryin' to remember what it says inside
    The words are written but never been said
    Your voice keeps calling in my head
    I don't believe it's time
    But I try to say goodbye
    But I feel so lost inside
    I don't know my name
    And I can't erase what's weighing on my mind
    It says I'd be leavin' on a redeye plane
    But I know I'm coming back again
    You've heard the story a thousand times
    The song is playing in your mind
    I'm asking myself why
    Then I try to say goodbye...
    But I feel so lost inside
    I don't know my name
    I can't erase what's weighing on my mind
    I try to stay awake, trying to write the words
    And I'm trying to write the word goodbye
    ... to say goodbye
    But I feel so lost inside
    I don't know my name
    And I can't erase what's weighing on my mind
    And I try to say goodbye
    But I feel so lost inside
    And I try to say goodbye
    And I try...
    And I try... to say goodbye
    And I try to say goodbye
    I try...
