All language subtitles for Knight Rider - S1E06 - Just My Bill

But you know what
I'd really like to do?

No, but I got a feeling
you're gonna tell me.

- Get ready for him.
- How are we gonna get past them?

May I suggest we continue
down the road?

[Woman]
Michael!

I really believe that Maggie's life
may be in danger.

It talks. Is there anything
this car cannot do?

- Can we take a direct hit?
- [KITT]
I prefer not to find out.

Here. Take over, buddy.
You're on your own.

[Man]
Knight Rider, a shadowy flight
into the dangerous world of a man...

who does not exist.

Michael Knight, a young loner...

on a crusade to champion
the cause of the innocent,

the helpless,
the powerless,

in a world of criminals
who operate above the law.

[Jackhammers Drilling]

[Woman]
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yes.

That's good. I see.
Now, what about the weldings?

They all exceed
the state safety regulations.

Okay. Then everything
looks okay to me.

Keep up the good work, Charlie.
You too, Senator.

[Machines Clattering,
jackhammers Drilling]

My committee will be very happy
with the results of my inspection.

[Elevator Motor Rumbling]

Are you all right, Devon?
You don't look so good.

Maggie, isn't there
somewhere we could go...

a little more conducive
to quiet conversation?

I'm sorry, Devon.
I don't have time...

for one of your famous
five-course lunches.

If you want to talk, let's talk.

If not, write a memo.

Thank you.
[Chuckles]

Hi, fellas.
Hi, Maggie.!
How are ya'?

Hi, Maggie.

Hey, Maggie, when you gonna get
out of politics and get an honest job?

I'll tell you when...
just as soon as you lose
that beer belly.

I'll take that.
[Laughing]

Hey, that's not bad.

Hey, Senator.

I meant to ask you up top,
what's gonna go on
with that power bill?

If it passes, you guys are
gonna get ripped off again.

- What are you talkin' about?
- I'm talking about a bill that was
designed to destroy the environment,

cheat the people and line the pockets
of the private power companies.

[Man]
Well, so what are you
doing about it?

Well, I'm trying like hell
to defeat it.

All right. Maggie Flynn
speaks for the people.

[Cheering]
Okay, okay. But remember,
somebody's gotta do it.

Yeah. Right.
Oh, and thanks
for the sandwich.

Big spender.
[Laughing]

Maggie, don't you think
it's rather unwise...

for you to be visiting
a construction site?

It's very dangerous, you know.
I'm not visiting.
I'm inspecting.

And since when
do I need a bodyguard?

Perhaps since you've been
receiving threatening
phone calls at home,

had your office broken into,
found bugs in your telephones.

My, aren't you well informed.

Maggie, my feeling is that
these incidents may have
something to do...

with a bill
you're currently opposing.

Devon, I'm currently opposing
a lot of bills.

You'll have to be more specific.
[Sighs]

All I'm asking is that you allow me
to provide some protection.

Not a chance.
Maggie, won't you
listen to reason?

Devon, you're a very good friend.

I appreciate your concern,
but I'm perfectly capable
of taking care of myself.

[Gasps, Out Of Breath]

- Is that so?
- [Gasps]

[Door Opens, Closes]

Hi, Bonnie.
What are you doing now?

I'm about to make
a very delicate adjustment
to KITT's laser ducts.

[KITT]
Bonnie, with those hands,
you should've been a surgeon.

That's what my dad always said.
[Tool Ratcheting]

I had to practically
slash my wrists to convince him...

I couldn't stand
the sight of blood.

Medicine's loss.
Our gain.

There. How does that feel?

Perfect. I don't know
what I'd do without you, Bonnie.

You'd break down.
That's what you'd do, buddy.

That's for sure,
the way you abuse him.

- Hello, you two.
- Hi, Devon.

- Bonnie, is KITT fully prepared?
- Yes, sir.

Prepared for what?
For your next assignment,
of course.

My next assignment?
Wait a minute here.
I got a date tonight.

Oh, that's already
been taken care of.

What do you mean
it's been taken care of?
That poor girl.

Um, Sabrina?
She was quite heartbroken.

But I assured her that you
always honor your rain checks.

We have to have a little talk
about this here.
Yes, indeed we must.

But there's precious little time.
What do you know
about Maggie Flynn?

Maggie Flynn... a state senator,
highly controversial.

Steps on a lot of toes,
got the best voting record
in the state legislature.

- Hmm. Not bad.
- Thank you very much.

- She's also a friend of yours, isn't she?
- That's correct.

She's also a member of the Foundation's
board of trustees.

Aha! I thought the Foundation
didn't get involved in politics.

- Oh, as a rule, it doesn't.
- But we're gonna bend that rule
a little bit, right?

Well, that'd be nothing new
to you, would it?

No. No, Devon, it wouldn't.
So, what do you want me to do?

Well, this assignment
is perfectly simple.

I have reason to believe
that Maggie's life
may be in danger.

Until further notice, I would like you
to be her constant companion.

- All right, you got it.
- Good.

She's expecting you
at her office.

Oh, by the way,
if you have any further questions,

feel free to ask KITT.

Yeah, as a matter of fact, I, uh,
have a few further questions.

Who gave Devon Sabrina's number?

[Whirring]

Oh, no.
Any suggestions?

Back up.
There's a space behind you.

This is ridiculous.

I don't care.
This is where we park.

Okay, KITT, you're on your own.

Now try not to look
too conspicuous, okay?

[People Chattering]

[Engine Starts]

Lester, it's Ben. Yeah,
can you send a tow truck?

Yeah, we've got an illegally
parked car down here.

Uh, Lester, forget it.

Look, I need
those environmental impact reports
no later than this afternoon, Roger.

This is important.

[Sighs] Listen to me, Roger.
I don't have time
to listen to your troubles.

I have enough of my own, all right?
Now, the point is, is that
Maggie needs your help.

Right. Tomorrow.
Well, talk to you later.
Bye-bye.

And what can I do for you?
Hi. I'm here to see Maggie Flynn.

For starters, who are you?
Michael Knight.

- Oh, of course. You're from
the Foundation, right?
- Right.

- Is she in?
- No, but she's due back
at any moment.

Would you mind shutting the door?
Thank you very much.

[Man] I don't understand you, Maggie.
Your opposition to my bill is a complete
waste of your time and mine.

Oh, really? And what about
the taxpayers' dollars?

That's the waste
I'm worried about.

The state needs
that power plant.

Oh, come off it, Forbes.

The only reason
you're pushing that bill...

is because the company that wants
to build that worthless plant...

just happens to be the chief source
of your campaign funds.

I wish you'd reconsider
your position, Maggie.

- I don't wanna fight you
on the senate floor.
- Oh, I'll just bet you don't.

Well, you're in for one
whether you like it or not.

The people of this state
will not be swindled out
of their natural resources,

not if I can help it.

Oh, yes. Good day, Senator.

Hello, Senator.

Who are you?
Michael Knight.

- Devon Miles asked me to...
- I know, I know. I was hoping
he'd forget about me.

On the contrary, I'd say
he's very concerned
about your well-being.

Well, of course he is. Devon's
more of an old lady than I am.

He's blowing this whole thing
out of proportion.

Well, Senator, I'm here
just in case he isn't.

Oh, yes. And, by the way,
call me Maggie.

Nobody calls me Senator...
except my enemies.

Here are your messages, Maggie.

Mm. Now, what's the latest head count
on that power bill?

No change.
It's still too close to call.

Uh, what's next
on my agenda?

Okay. You have a TV interview
over at KTSM.

- Oh, can you push it back an hour?
- Sorry. It's live from the studio.

Oh! Can you get me across town
in 20 minutes?

Are blueberries blue?
[Mock Laugh]
Now, that's funny.

- [Maggie]
Come on. Let's go.
- [Door Closes]

[Engine Starts]

Lester, it's Ben.

Okay, where are you parked?

I'm not sure.

Wait, wait, wait.
If you wait here,

I'll try and find it, then come back
and pick you up, okay?

Michael, I'm not a princess.
I'm a politician.

Yeah, well, for a politician,
you are a princess.

From what I've read, you've received
practically every award...

from practically
every civic group in the state.

Those awards are easier come by
than campaign contributions.

KITT, where are ya?
I'll be right there, Michael.

- [Engine Revs]
- [Tires Screeching]

Watch out, Maggie!

Hurry up, Maggie. Come on.
Jump on in.

[Michael]
Come on, KITT!
Let's go get 'im!

I can't believe I'm living through this.
What do you call this car?

- It's called KITT.
- Kit? It's a kit car?

No, it's not a kit car.
It's called KITT.

It's called KITT.
I'll remember that.

I can't believe this.

Can't we catch them?
I don't wanna go
any faster.

I might hit a pedestrian.

[Horn Honking]

Oh!
You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine, I think.

Did you get a good look
at that driver?

No, I didn't,
but maybe KITT did.

[Beep]
What are you doing?

Punching in "Instant Replay."

Wait. Hold it. Hold it right there.
Zoom in on that, will you?

What is it?
License plate..."USA 256."

Can you run a check on that
with the D.M.V.?

I've already made the inquiry.

Unfortunately,
the response has been delayed.

You know how difficult it is
to deal with bureaucratic computers.

Well, it-it talks.

Is there anything
this car cannot do?

- Well, it can't cook.
- I wasn't programmed to cook.

Oh, touch�.

Maggie, I think I ought to
take you back to the office.

I beg your pardon?
We were on our way to a television studio.

I think you should keep a lower profile
while I'm doin' some investigating.

Oh, really?
And what are you going to discover,
that I have powerful enemies?

- We already knew that.
- We also know the guy in the garage
is playing for keeps.

I don't care who wants me out of the way.
I am not going to be intimidated.

Maggie, if you stay visible, you're
making yourself a very, very easy target.

[Laughs]
Maybe.

But isn't that why
I have a bodyguard?

Devon, I got a problem.
Somebodyjust tried
to kill Maggie again.

Now, I can't investigate her properly
as long as I have to protect her.

Very good point, Michael.

I think I may have an idea
that'll help solve your problem.

Well, whatever the solution is, buddy,
it's gotta be fast.

I assure you. I'll take care of it,
personally.

[Maggie On Broadcast]
Well, I'll put it as simply as I can.

The Portage River Power Bill
is an attempt by a handful
of greedy profiteers...

to exploit both the people
and the resources of this state.

Now, if this bill
were to become law,

not only would a lush,
unspoiled valley
be turned into a desert,

but the people living there
would be forced to buy back
both the water and the power...

that rightfully belongs to them
in the first place.

Now, who makes out
on a deal like that?

Not you or me.

That woman is a menace.
Oh, that's putting it mildly.

Has she got the votes
to stop us?
I don't think so.

But if she can create
enough public outcry
to sway the undecided,

the bill could be in trouble.

Well, then I suggest you get
back to the Capitol and start
twisting some arms.

Look, I want a victory, Forbes.
And if you can't assure me that,

then, come election time,
I'm gonna find somebody
from your district who can.

I'm doing the best I can.

But you saw for yourself...
Maggie Flynn isn't giving an inch.

Don't you worry about her.

I can handle Maggie Flynn.

Do I still have that awful
television makeup on?

No. You look fine.
Well, what'd you think?

How did I come across?
Like gangbusters.

I wasn't too pushy?
Of course you were. I thought
that's all part of your image.

My image? Huh. Listen, with me,
what you see is what you get.

[Laughs]
Maggie, I gotta hand it to you.

You are one very gutsy lady.

When you spend your life in political
hand-to-hand combat,

it toughens you up.
[Beeping]

What are you doing?
I'm taking KITT
out of surveillance mode.

Surveillance mode?
Yeah. You see, he has
a sensory device...

that can detect any movement
within a 200-yard radius.

Hmm.
Anything to report, buddy?

All clear, Michael.
It's safe to proceed.

[Engine Starts]

[Tires Screeching]

I remember Devon telling me
about this special car they had
developed at the Foundation.

I had no idea
it was so sophisticated.

Don't flatter him.
He has a tendency to show off.
[KITT] Not true, Michael.

Flattery implies that I'm capable of
responding to my own unique capabilities.

The truth, Senator,
is that I deal solely in empirical data.

See what I mean?

- Well, in any case, I'm impressed.
- Thank you, Senator.
The feeling is mutual.

- Thank you.
- All right. Where to now, Senator?

Back to the office. I have a climbing date
with a mountain of paperwork.

[Chuckles]

Uh, Jane?

Jane?
I believe
she's out to lunch.

Hello, Devon.
What are you doing here?
I'm trying to solve a problem.

What kind of a problem?
You're familiar with the Foundation's
international conference...

on democracy in the emerging nations?

Well, of course I'm familiar with it.
I organized it with Professor LeClair.

He should be up
at the Blue Lake retreat right now.

That's my problem.
Professor LeClair
has had to cancel.

There's nobody to moderate
the discussion groups.

I fear a fiasco for the Foundation.

Mm-hmm. Devon, is this a setup?
What on earth are you suggesting?

I am suggesting that, in order
to get me out of town,

you would stoop to something
underhanded.

- "Stoop"?
- Like a subtle form ofblackmail.

It can't be blackmail
if you care.
Well, of course I care.

I have spent six months putting
that conference together.

That suggests a vested interest.
I also have a vested interest
in defeating that power bill.

- Maggie, the vote on the bill's
not till next week.
- You'll be back long before then.

- It'll give me some time
to check out who's harassing you.
- [Sighs]

Okay, Devon. You win.

Excellent. Come. Come with me.
We have a car waiting.

Hey. Be careful, okay?
Yes, of course.

And you too.
Okay. See you
when you get back.

[No Audible Dialogue]

[Engine Starts]

- KITT?
- Yes, Michael.

You turn up anything
on that license plate yet?
It just came through.

The car was registered
to the Interstate Auto Rental Company.
Oh, a rented car, huh?

Great. That's another dead end.

Will you permit me
to complete my report?

Oh. Sorry. Very sorry.
Go on.
I checked their computers.

The name on the credit card
used in the transaction
was Brian Owendorf.

- Brian Owendorf?
That's impossible.
- Why is that so impossible?

Because it doesn't make any sense.
That's why.

He's one of Maggie's oldest
and most loyal supporters.

Besides, why would
an environmental activist try to kill her?

We've been working together
on ecology issues for years.

Jane, it's not unheard of for supporters
to manifest their support in radical ways.

[Sighs] What's that supposed to mean?
Maybe he's staging this whole thing
to win political support.

Nobody would expect
a friend of Maggie's
to run her down in a parking lot.

No. They'd point the finger
at the conglomerates behind the power bill.

Maybe that's exactly
what Brian Owendorf hopes will happen.

I don't know, Michael.
How can you be so sure?

Actually, I'm not.

That's why I wanna go talk
to Brian Owendorf.
Yeah.

Michael, what are all those lights
on your dashboard?

Oh, that's a little computer gadget
the Foundation installed.

Cuts down on my speeding tickets.
Oh. Clever.

Uh, slow down.
It's right over there...
the building across the street.

All right. I want you to stay in the car
just in case things get nasty.

I don't wanna stay in the car
by myself.

It's okay.
KITT'll keep you company.
Who's KITT?

[KITT]
The "little computer gadget."
I'm sorry.

You're not the easiest
thing in the world to explain.

Next time you have trouble,
just ask me.

I know exactly who I am.
I'll remember that.

Hang in here.

Jane, according to my information,
you went to Stanford University.

Mm, uh, that's right.

Part of my circuitry was developed there.
Excellent school.

[Whimpers]

I don't suppose you know anyone
in the Engineering Department?

[Knocking]

- Uh, can I help you?
- Oh. Hi there.

Yeah. Well, that depends
on whether or not
Brian Owendorf is here or not.

Uh, yes, he's here.
Do you have an appointment?
No, but Brian and I are old buddies.

I thought I'd drop by
and say hello.
I see.

You know, we marched together
to save the redwoods.

[Laughs]
Wow. Those were the days.

Yeah. Why don't you have a seat.

Okay. Thanks.

What is it, Katie?
There's a man out there.
Says he's an old friend of yours.

Do you know him?

I've never seen him
before in my life.
Well, what should I do?

Just stall him.

All right.
Okay?

He'll be with you in a minute.
Can I get you something to drink?
We have lots of juices.

Yeah. I'll take an orange juice.
Thanks.

[Loud Clatter]

KITT, a man took off.

[Engine Starts]
He's headed down an alley
behind the building.

- I'm picking him up on the scanner.
- Yeah, go for it!

- KITT! What are you doing?
- Employing my self-propelled
guidance system.

You can follow on the screen.

I don't believe this.

Brian!

I give up!

Michael, will you kindly
tell your car to back off.

It's okay, KITT.
Back up.
[Tapping]

Jane, can you tell me
what's going on?

It's okay, Brian.
They're with me.
[Powering Down]

[Out Of Breath]
Why'd you take off
like that?

- I thought you were
one of the goons.
- What goons?

We've been getting phone calls, telling us
if we don't stop protesting the Forbes bill,
we'll all be dead.

- You too?
- Yeah. They broke in
and ransacked the office,

destroyed the files...
the whole bit.

When I saw you going through
the filing cabinets,

I got scared.

I'm sorry.
It's all right.

- I'm just glad we established
we're on the same side.
- Brian, did they take anything from the office?

Not much.
A few bucks from petty cash.

Just to make it look
like a burglary, I suppose.

That's all they took?

Oh, yeah. My credit cards.
They got those too.

You know, there's somebody out there
that wants that power bill to pass real bad.

I hope that the conference enables you
to take home a few more new ideas.

I'm certain it will.

[French Accent]
Maggie.

It is a delight to see you.

- Miriam.
- [Gasps]
Professor LeClair.

I was under the impression
you were unable to attend.

- It's a pleasant surprise.
- Oh, for me as well.

And I was under the impression
you wouldn't be here.

Good heavens. Where did you get
such erroneous information?

[Man]
Hello. Mr. Dixon.

Yeah, everything's under control.

She's up at the retreat,
nice and isolated.

Ah, splendid. What about
that hotshot driver
that she had?

[Laughs]
You won't have to worry none
about that boy.

I got him
goin' around in circles.

Have you assembled
the necessary support personnel?
All set.

Luger, I want you to use
whatever methods are called for.

Now you make sure
that Maggie Flynn stays put.

- I'll handle the rest of the operation.
- You got it.

[Jane]
What are you doing here?

Thought you might like
some breakfast.

Thank you. That was
very thoughtful of you.

How'd you sleep?
I didn't.

I spent the whole night
worrying about Maggie.

Yeah, well, here you go.
This will make you feel
a lot better.

[Sighs]
Oh, thank you.

Mmm! That's good.
You may act like
a crazy person sometimes,

but you sure know how to make
a cup of coffee.

- I'm taking that as a compliment.
- That's the way it was intended.

Now, tell me, how's a girl like you
get to be a girl like you anyway?

[Both Laughing]

I don't know.
Uh, four years of college,

then grad school,
an internship in Washington...

and then a major stroke of luck...
I met Maggie Flynn.

- You really admire her, don't you?
- Yeah.

I'll tell you... she has more integrity
and plain old guts...

than anybody I've ever known.

- To Maggie.
- You bet.

[Phone Rings]
Mm. Excuse me.

[Ringing]

Hello. Yes, this is Jane.

Hold on, hold on.
Just take it slow.

Yes. What?

No.! How could he?

Don't you worry.
She'll be there.

[Sighs]
Yeah. I'll see you later.

- [Phone Clatters]
- Mm!
- What?

That creep Forbes
did a number on us.

He got his cronies to push the bill
through committee last night,

and he's bringing it up for a vote
before the full Senate
this afternoon.

He knew Maggie was out of town.

Russell Forbes is as slick as they come.

He knows that if Maggie isn't there,
the opposition will fall apart.

That's okay.
I'll go up and get her.
[Sighs]

I'll call the retreat and tell her
I'm on my way.

[Punching Phone Numbers]

What's wrong?

[Engine Starts]

And yet I maintain that only by
standing up for our ideals,

by striking out against injustice,

- and acting to improve
the lot of others...
- [No Audible Dialogue]

Can we advance the cause
of freedom...

and enrich this world.
[Applause]

[Applause Continues]

Position yourselves
straight up the road a ways.

Anybody try to get through,
stop 'em.

[Vehicle Departs]

We got this place sealed off
tighter than a drum.

Ain't no way that lady's
getting out of here now.

[Jane]
Michael, do you really think
they're in trouble?

One thing I learned
in the Special Forces...

when you cut off an enemy's
line of communication,
you cut 'em off from help.

But why would somebody
do something like that?

My guess is someone doesn't
want Maggie to find out
about the vote today.

Yeah, well, unfortunately,
that's my guess too.

It's up to us to make sure
that she not only finds out
about the vote...

but has a chance
to do something about it.

What is going on here?
I've tried to reach my office,
and the phones are dead.

Yes. I know.
Well, don't give me that British
"stiff upper lip" routine.

Now, what's going on
out there?
We're under siege.

We're what?
A unidentified group of armed men
have set up a roadblock.

We're cut off.

Well, I knew Forbes
was desperate to stop me,

but I never thought
he'd go this far.

- Do you think he's responsible?
- Well, maybe not directly,

but who else except
the men he works for...

would be ruthless enough
to try a stunt like this?

None of this would have happened
if I'd left well enough alone.

I should never
have brought you here.

Will you knock off the hindsight
and try to figure out a way
to get me out of here?

[Footsteps Departing]

Hey! Hey! Stop!

Sounds like our first visitor's
arriving sooner than expected.

Get ready for him.

[KITT]
Michael, there's a roadblock up ahead.

I'm almost afraid to ask this,
but how are we gonna get past them?

May I suggest
we continue down the road?

- You got it, KITT.
My sentiments exactly.
- But it's blocked!

Well, then I guess we'll just
have to go over 'em.

Oh, no.

What the hell's goin' through
that boy's head? Watch out!

Michael!
[Screaming]

[Gunshots]

What's that?

[Engine Roaring]
Sounds like KITT.

Michael.

Maggie, hop in the car.
We gotta get you back into town.

What?
They're taking a vote on the power bill
in less than two hours.

Oh, I thought as much.
Devon, are you gonna be all right?

Yes, yes. They don't care about us.
Get in the car, Maggie.

Maggie, will you just get going?
You're gonna be late.
All right, come on. Let's go.

I hope you're as good getting out
of here as you were getting in.
So do I.

- Good luck!
- [Maggie]
Michael.! This isn't the way out.

[Michael]
It is now.

I'd like to see him
try to get past us now.

[Michael]
We're gonna bypass the roadblock.

[KITTApproaching]

- Holy Toledo!
- How does he do it?

It's okay. It's okay, Maggie.
KITT's got a pretty thick skin.

Please be precise, Michael.
It's not thick.

It's simply a bulletproof alloy.

I can't tell you
how I'm counting on that.

What do you mean she got away?

All I know is this guy's not gonna
get caught from behind.
I need all the help I can get.

All right. I'll arrange all that.
You just try to stay on his tail.

Right.

[Luger]
We'll take the shortcut
and cut 'em off further down.

KITT, get ahold of the state police yet?

Yes, Michael. Go ahead.
All right. Listen to me.

There's been a terrorist assault
on the Foundation retreat
at Blue Lake.

A group of international dignitaries
are there, and their lives
may be in danger.

[Man On Radio]
This is National Guard Unit 13.

We're en route to the terrorist attack.
Over.

[Luger]
There they are.
We've got 'em.

Michael, I advise you to use
the rocket thrusters,
or they'll cut us off.

We lost 'em.
What's that car got in it?

Michael, I detect a dangerous
obstruction in the road
200 yards ahead.

Take the next left fork
up a hill.

Where'd they go?

[Screaming]

Good work, KITT.

Thank you, Michael.
It was all quite elementary.

- I'm afraid we're not
out of the woods yet.
- What do you mean?

[Maggie]
That's what he means.

- Can we take a direct hit?
- I prefer not to find out.

But the real problem
is the bridge at Twin Forks.

They can take it out with two rockets,
and even I can't jump that far.

[Man] Can't you hit it?
[Man # 2]
It just seems to dodge the hits.

[Man #1]
Let's see if we can knock it over.

[Thudding]

KITT, open up the sunroof.

Here. Take over, buddy.
You're on your own.

Take it up. We're so close,
I think I can hit 'em.

[Screams]

[Screams]

[Sighs]

- Nice to have you back.
- Nice to be back.

[Maggie]
Michael, you're a very brave man.
[Michael] Yeah.

I just hope the next time you go
for a ride like this, you take me along.

It's fun.
Yeah, it's a real blast.

Outta sight.

Ah. You're just in time.
The session convenes
in a few minutes.

I got the champagne on ice.
Well, let's hope
we're able to celebrate.

What's gonna stop us?
Maggie Flynn is on her way
to the Capitol.

What? I thought you told me...
Just get out there on the floor
and see if you can move things.

Now come on.
We don't have enough time.

When does the afternoon
session begin?
I think it already has.

Hang on. It shouldn't
take us much longer.
Perfect.

You're saying that Maggie Flynn has
withdrawn her opposition to your bill?

Don't believe it.
It was a shock to me
as well, Mr. Speaker.

But that's what she told me.
I just got off the phone with her.

And she said she wasn't even
gonna show up for the vote?

I think that's more
a face-saving gesture.

It'd be really embarrassing for her
to throw in her towel in public.

She's a proud woman.

[Tires Screeching]

Give 'em hell, Maggie!

If no senator wishes to speak
in opposition to the bill,

we'll proceed with the vote.

All in favor of the Portage River
Power Act,

- signify by saying...
- Point of order, Mr. Speaker!

I wish to speak
in opposition to the bill.

You may have the floor, Senator.

Ah, Mr. Dixon.
Your friend Luger here...

had some very interesting things
to say about you while we
were flying back to town.

Would you come with us, please?

All right! All right!
All right, all right.

[Handcuffs Ratcheting]

[Maggie On Car Phone]
It's not fair, you know.

A fancy dinner to celebrate our victory,
and I don't even get to be there.

Maggie, my love, we'd be delighted
to bring the party to you.

I love Palm Beach at this time of year.
By the way, is the fishing good?

All I've seen is the airport,
the hotel and the convention hall.

How is the response, Maggie?

Have you ever tried to talk
to a roomful of diamond-studded
country-clubbers about world hunger?

After what you've just been through,
that should be easy,

unless you want me and KITT
to come down and help you out.

Not this time, thanks.
You've already done your bit
for democracy.

[KITT]
"Democracy." The absence of hereditary
or arbitrary class distinctions.

A system of government based on
rule of the majority...

somewhat idealistic, but functional.

[Maggie]
I never said it was perfect, KITT.

But with a little nudge every now and then
to keep it on the right track,
we may get lucky.

Perhaps you'd find it stimulating, Senator,
to participate in a dialogue with me...

on democracy versus imperialism,
socialism...

KITT, can it, will ya?
We're almost at the restaurant.

We'll miss you, Maggie.
Yes, Maggie.

We'll have a drink
to your continued success.

- [Maggie]
I'll be thinking of you too.
- And I'll be waiting in the parking lot.

Bye, Maggie. Take care.
Good-bye.

Oh, boy. I'm starved.
Good.

Order anything you want,
and don't look at the prices.

The Foundation's
picking up the tab.
Mmm.

I am?
[Door Closes]

Uh, that's not necessary.

I prefer to find my own place.

[Tires Screeching]

[All Chuckling]

[Wilton]
One man can make a difference, Michael.

[Man]
Michael Knight, a lone crusader
in a dangerous world,

the world of the Knight Rider.
