| Garth and Gord and Fiona and Alice
Garth and Gord (surgeon and lawyer) drive to Toronto from the Maritimes in search of lawyering and doctoring jobs. They pick up Fiona, a nuclear physicist, in Quebec, and run over a woodchuck being filmed for Hinterland Who's Who. They arrive in Toronto full of hope, but Garth's pal says things are slow and there are no jobs after all. They go to Yonge Street, where they meet Alice. Fiona finds a job setting up pins in a bowling alley. Gord gets Alice pregnant. They go to Yonge Street to think. Alice leaves Gord. They decide to head out to Alberta.
Music by Stompin' Tom Conners ('To It and At It'), Gordon Lightfoot ('Alberta Bound') and Paul Flaherty does a hard-rockin' cover version of 'To It and At It' (apparently as a parody of David Clayton Thomas).
Garth - Candy; Gord - Flaherty; Fiona Cournoyer - Martin; Alice - Jayne Eastwood; Hinterland director - Levy; irate hospital patient, staff - extra; CBC crew - extras; citizens of Toronto - themselves, eh?
