1
00:00:52,928 --> 00:00:55,347
MAN: You know, I've seen him
do it a million times now,
2
00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:58,141
but I can't tell you
how he does it, Henry.
3
00:00:58,392 --> 00:00:59,851
The right-handed part.
4
00:01:00,102 --> 00:01:02,980
I can tell you a whole lot about what
he does with his left hand, though.
5
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:04,356
He's a genius with it.
6
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:08,068
He might put that left hand
on your elbow
7
00:01:08,151 --> 00:01:10,779
or on your bicep,
like he's doing now.
8
00:01:10,862 --> 00:01:12,906
Very basic move.
He's interested in you.
9
00:01:13,198 --> 00:01:14,533
He's honored to meet you.
10
00:01:15,576 --> 00:01:19,288
If he gets any higher,
if he gets on your shoulder, like that,
11
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:21,331
it's not as intimate.
12
00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:24,418
It means he'll share a laugh with
you or a secret, a light secret,
13
00:01:24,501 --> 00:01:26,211
not a real one,
but very flattering.
14
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:29,298
If he doesn't know you that well and wants
to share something emotional with you,
15
00:01:29,631 --> 00:01:31,133
he'll lock you
in a two-hander.
16
00:01:31,216 --> 00:01:33,594
Well, you'll see when he
shakes hands with you, Henry.
17
00:01:33,677 --> 00:01:34,886
Governor.
18
00:01:38,557 --> 00:01:41,435
Governor Stanton, this is Henry Burton.
Governor.
19
00:01:41,602 --> 00:01:43,770
I met your grandfather
when I was a boy.
20
00:01:44,104 --> 00:01:46,732
I hitchhiked to Washington
to hear him speak.
21
00:01:46,815 --> 00:01:49,276
He was a great man.
Thank you, sir.
22
00:01:50,235 --> 00:01:51,987
How are you?
Good to see you.
23
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:54,323
He's really glad you're
coming on board. I can tell.
24
00:01:54,406 --> 00:01:56,491
I didn't say
I was coming on board.
25
00:01:56,575 --> 00:01:57,993
Did you tell him
I was coming on board?
26
00:01:58,118 --> 00:01:59,828
No, take it easy.
27
00:01:59,911 --> 00:02:02,497
What is he doing here anyway? He's a
Southern governor nobody's heard of.
28
00:02:02,664 --> 00:02:05,167
Already you're sounding
like a campaign manager.
29
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:08,420
Howard, I said. . .
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
30
00:02:08,503 --> 00:02:12,799
If I told you Jack Stanton's here 'cause
he's interested in adult literacy,
31
00:02:12,883 --> 00:02:14,301
you'd tell me
I was full of shit.
32
00:02:14,384 --> 00:02:15,385
Yes.
33
00:02:15,469 --> 00:02:18,263
Howard Ferguson, Henry Burton,
this is Marianne Walsh,
34
00:02:18,347 --> 00:02:20,974
the very special librarian
who's running these classes.
35
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:24,186
Thank you, Governor Walsh. . .
Oh, Governor Stanton. I'm sorry.
36
00:02:24,269 --> 00:02:25,812
(ALL LAUGHING)
37
00:02:25,896 --> 00:02:28,815
I'm a little nervous.
I'm sorry. Um.
38
00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:33,945
If you'll walk with me,
I'll take you up to the, uh, library.
39
00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:37,032
The walls
are pretty bad,
40
00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:40,160
but the, uh, the library
is much, um...
41
00:02:40,327 --> 00:02:42,204
Better?
Uh, yes, yes.
42
00:02:42,371 --> 00:02:44,831
We're very proud
of the library.
43
00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:48,210
How long ago did you start up this
reading program? About three years ago.
44
00:02:48,377 --> 00:02:51,004
We have no money.
Uh, very little money.
45
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:54,341
It's the only reading program like
it in New York, that I know of.
46
00:02:54,424 --> 00:02:57,219
Of course, there may be others,
but I don't. . . . . .know of them.
47
00:02:57,386 --> 00:02:58,720
Ooh !
(CHUCKLING)
48
00:02:58,804 --> 00:03:01,765
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine. Thank you.
49
00:03:01,932 --> 00:03:03,558
Yes. Um...
50
00:03:03,809 --> 00:03:07,771
My name is Ruby. I'm a domestic.
I've been in this class two months.
51
00:03:07,938 --> 00:03:11,108
Jack Mandela Washington.
I'm a handyman. How are you, Jack?
52
00:03:11,274 --> 00:03:13,860
Tawana Carter. I'm a waitress.
Good to meet you, Tawana.
53
00:03:13,944 --> 00:03:16,238
Anthony Ramirez,
freelance carpenter.
54
00:03:16,321 --> 00:03:18,990
JACK: Nice to meet you.
Raymond Dominguez. I'm a truck driver.
55
00:03:19,157 --> 00:03:22,369
I just wanted to say,
"Welcome aboard." What? I'm not on board.
56
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:24,371
I just ca. . .
Maria Lopez, waitress.
57
00:03:24,538 --> 00:03:26,581
You're kidding too, right? Yeah.
58
00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:29,876
Why don't you tell the governor a
little bit about yourself, Dewayne.
59
00:03:31,712 --> 00:03:34,423
DEWAYNE: I'm a. . .
I'm a short order chef.
60
00:03:34,589 --> 00:03:37,843
And, uh, until I come here,
I couldn't read a lick.
61
00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:39,386
Dewayne's dyslexic.
62
00:03:40,429 --> 00:03:43,098
And, uh, they just kept
a-passin' me up...
63
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:45,809
third grade,
fourth grade.
64
00:03:47,018 --> 00:03:51,356
Uh, I just sit in the back
and stickin' to my own self.
65
00:03:51,523 --> 00:03:54,609
And, uh, it was like
no one noticed.
66
00:03:54,776 --> 00:03:59,406
I go on all the ways through and,
uh, I graduated elementary school.
67
00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:02,576
And, uh, they sent me
to Ben Franklin.
68
00:04:02,743 --> 00:04:05,162
That's general studies.
69
00:04:05,328 --> 00:04:08,206
They could've sent me
to the Bronx Zoo.
70
00:04:08,373 --> 00:04:12,085
I mean, no one ever say,
"Dewayne, you can't read.
71
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:16,173
"What you gonna do with
your sorry ass?" Excuse me.
72
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:19,885
(CLEARS THROAT) Anyway,
graduation come, and my mama come.
73
00:04:20,051 --> 00:04:23,054
She take the day off from the
laundry where she work at.
74
00:04:23,221 --> 00:04:25,390
So we're there, and, um,
75
00:04:25,557 --> 00:04:29,394
Dr. Dalembretti is calling out
the names on the diplomas,
76
00:04:29,561 --> 00:04:32,189
and, uh, and. . . and
what each kid done.
77
00:04:32,355 --> 00:04:35,233
You know, like,
"Sharonna Harris, honors.
78
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,653
"Tyrone Kirby,
Regents diploma."
79
00:04:39,571 --> 00:04:40,864
And then...
80
00:04:42,574 --> 00:04:45,076
Then he come
to my name,
81
00:04:45,243 --> 00:04:49,206
and, uh, he say
so everyone hear it...
82
00:04:51,374 --> 00:04:53,585
He said,
"Dewayne Smith...
83
00:04:53,752 --> 00:04:56,338

00:04:57,923 --> 00:04:59,674
"of attendance."
85
00:05:01,927 --> 00:05:03,970
You could hear people buzzin'.
86
00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:06,264
I mean, a couple
of folks was laughin'.
87
00:05:06,431 --> 00:05:08,934
I got to go up there
and get this.
88
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:11,061
I got to stand up there,
89
00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:13,730
just dyin',
90
00:05:13,897 --> 00:05:17,484
trying not
to look at anyone.
91
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:22,364
Trying not to look
too stupid, you know?

93
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:27,285
And Mama's sittin' out front.
94
00:05:27,452 --> 00:05:30,455
She got her hat on.
She got her purse on her lap.

00:05:30,622 --> 00:05:35,794
And tears coming down
from behind her glasses...

00:05:35,961 --> 00:05:39,714

00:05:53,895 --> 00:05:55,605
JACK: I wanna thank you...
101
00:05:55,772 --> 00:05:59,025
for sharing that
with us, Dewayne.
102
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:02,195
I want to thank all of you
for having real courage.
103
00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:04,656
My Uncle Charlie...
104
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,493
was a. . . a war hero,
World War II.
105
00:06:09,244 --> 00:06:12,831
He was sent to Iwo Jima,
where they raised the flag.
106
00:06:13,456 --> 00:06:16,543
He took out four machine-gun nests of Japs.
. . Japanese soldiers...
107
00:06:16,626 --> 00:06:18,712
who had a squad
of his buddies pinned down.
108
00:06:19,004 --> 00:06:22,132
He had one grenade, his rifle,
his bayonet and his bare hands.
109
00:06:22,299 --> 00:06:24,342
And he took 'em out.
DEWAYNE: Shit.
110
00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:28,013
They gave him the Medal of Honor.
President Truman did.
111
00:06:28,179 --> 00:06:31,474
When he came home to Grace
Junction, they had a parade for him.
112
00:06:31,558 --> 00:06:34,144
The town fathers came to my
parents' house and said to him,
113
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:37,063
"Charlie, what you got
in mind for yourself now?"
114
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:39,024
Charlie said
he didn't know.
115
00:06:39,190 --> 00:06:42,861
The mayor said, "Maybe you'd like a full
scholarship to the state university."
116
00:06:42,944 --> 00:06:44,404
The banker said
maybe Charlie didn't want
117
00:06:44,487 --> 00:06:46,656
to go back to school
after all he'd been through.
118
00:06:47,032 --> 00:06:50,035
Maybe he'd like a management
job, a big future at the bank.
119
00:06:50,201 --> 00:06:55,206
The sawmill owner said, "You may not want
to be cooped up in a school or a bank.
120
00:06:55,373 --> 00:06:58,418
"Come manage my crew."
You know what?
121
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:00,629
Damned if Charlie
didn't turn 'em all down.
122
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:03,632
What'd he do?
JACK: Nothin'.
123
00:07:04,007 --> 00:07:06,801
He just laid down on his couch
and smoked his Luckies.
124
00:07:06,968 --> 00:07:08,511
You couldn't get him
off that couch.
125
00:07:08,678 --> 00:07:12,807
Was he messed up in the
head from the war? No.
126
00:07:12,974 --> 00:07:15,393
It was just
that he couldn't read.
127
00:07:15,644 --> 00:07:19,022
He was embarrassed and
didn't want to tell anyone.
128
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:22,108
He had the courage to win the
Congressional Medal of Honor,
129
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:26,279
but he didn't have the courage to do what
each and every one of you is doing here.
130
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:29,658
He didn't have the courage to
admit he needed help and get it.
131
00:07:29,824 --> 00:07:33,411
I understand what you're doing,
appreciate it, and honor your commitment.
132
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:38,667
People say, "Jack, why do you spend so
much time and effort on adult literacy?"
133
00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:40,919
And I say to them...
134
00:07:42,170 --> 00:07:44,839
I say to them, "Because...
135
00:07:45,006 --> 00:07:47,467
"it gives me a chance
to see courage."
136
00:07:49,427 --> 00:07:51,137
I want to thank you.
137
00:07:51,221 --> 00:07:55,016

allowing me to visit here today.

Let's get him
out of here.
141
00:08:10,782 --> 00:08:14,536
He likes it.
MARIANNE: Governor Stanton.
142
00:08:14,703 --> 00:08:16,830
I want to thank you
personally for coming.
143
00:08:17,372 --> 00:08:18,790
I will be damned.
144
00:08:18,873 --> 00:08:21,001
MARIANNE: Because I'm. . .
Ooh ! Sorry.
145
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:24,212
JACK: Can I help you?
You should have those shoes checked.
146
00:08:24,379 --> 00:08:26,339
MARIANNE:
If there's anything...
147
00:08:30,552 --> 00:08:33,763
You're gonna go work for him, aren't you?
No, I am not.
148
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:35,223
I'm gonna meet him
at his suite
149
00:08:35,306 --> 00:08:36,766
in the Sherry-Netherland
so we can talk.
150
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:40,854
About what?
Probably about going to work for him.
151
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:44,733
How can you walk out on Adam Larkin
and get into bed with some cracker...
152
00:08:44,816 --> 00:08:47,485
I'm not getting into bed. . . . . .who
hasn't done piss for blacks in his state?
153
00:08:47,569 --> 00:08:49,904
I could say the same about Adam Larkin.
But he will.
154
00:08:49,988 --> 00:08:52,866
He has to bide his time.
He's a black congressman.
155
00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:55,869
I don't like Larkin.
I didn't like working for him.
156
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:57,746
I don't know what
Stanton wants, but...
157
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:58,830
Well, I do.
158
00:08:58,913 --> 00:09:01,124
Stanton wants to use the grandson
of a civil rights leader,
159
00:09:01,207 --> 00:09:04,044
a black man in politics,
as a vote getter.
160
00:09:04,127 --> 00:09:06,963
That's hilarious. And you tell
me you have no sense of humor.
161
00:09:07,172 --> 00:09:09,382
Put a black man on the team,
really roll in those votes.
162
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:12,093
That's why there are so many
black men running the country.
163
00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:15,680
If you're so upset about politics,
come work at The Black Advocate.
164
00:09:15,847 --> 00:09:17,557
We're never disillusioned.
165
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:19,517
Would you hand me
that tie on the headboard?
166
00:09:19,601 --> 00:09:21,186
Get your
own damn tie.
167
00:09:22,103 --> 00:09:24,856
No tie. No suit.
168
00:09:25,023 --> 00:09:27,859
Just leather jacket cool.
All right.
169
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:31,237
I'll be back in two hours, and then
we can talk about The Black Advocate.
170
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:35,366
Okay? Aw, come on,
don't be mad. Co...
171
00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:39,287
Okay, be mad, but only for two
hours, and wait up for me.
172
00:09:39,454 --> 00:09:41,331
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
173
00:09:41,998 --> 00:09:45,210
Oh, my God.
My boy.
174
00:09:45,376 --> 00:09:48,004
Henry Burton,
I am mighty honored.
175
00:09:48,171 --> 00:09:50,924
I'm Arlen Sporken,
the governor's media consultant.
176
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:53,259
Hey, Henry.
HENRY: Hi.
177
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:55,512
Nonfat caffeine?
No, thank you.
178
00:09:55,678 --> 00:09:58,765
I am just delighted that
you're on board. No.
179
00:09:58,848 --> 00:10:00,725
Get me one of
those sandwiches.
180
00:10:00,809 --> 00:10:03,520
Only if you pinch my cheek and
call me "sugar." I'll get it.
181
00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:07,023
We're gonna win this thing.
Isn't that right, Arlen? Absolutely.
182
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:08,942
The big question
is Ozio.
183
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:12,862
You think he's got the "cagones" to run?
Uh, cojones.
184
00:10:13,029 --> 00:10:16,866
And I don't know Ozio well
enough to judge his cojones.
185
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:20,703
They're big but they're glass.
(CHUCKLES) Hey, there, Henry.
186
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:22,956
Governor Stanton,
it's nice to, uh...
187
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:26,126
You remember Miss Walsh?
I. . . Oh, I'm sorry.
188
00:10:26,209 --> 00:10:28,628
You all right, darlin'?
MARIANNE: Uh, thank you.
189
00:10:28,711 --> 00:10:30,880
Thank you.
For this, um,
190
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:33,591
opportunity to discuss the, um.
. . The program.
191
00:10:33,758 --> 00:10:35,844
That's a great program.
Don't you think?
192
00:10:35,927 --> 00:10:38,346
Yes, excellent program.
MARIANNE: Excuse me. If I could just...
193
00:10:38,429 --> 00:10:40,306
(GRUNTS)
194
00:10:40,390 --> 00:10:43,560
Uh, thank you very much. You take up
what we talked about to the board.
195
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:47,188
Oh, yes, I will.
I'll just see my way out.
196
00:10:47,272 --> 00:10:50,400
Thank you. Uh, good-bye.
Bye-bye, now.
197
00:10:50,817 --> 00:10:53,570
Miss Walsh is on the regional
board of the Teachers Union.
198
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:56,072
Ah, a teacher
and a librarian.
199
00:10:56,239 --> 00:10:57,657
MAN: It's the missus.
200
00:11:00,743 --> 00:11:02,078
Hi, darlin'.
201
00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:05,081
Oh, oh, listen, honey,
I'm sorry.
202
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,083
I'm. . . Well,
we got stuck here.
203
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:10,044
But great news, honey.
We had real progress with the teachers.
204
00:11:11,254 --> 00:11:14,591
Tonight? Are you sure?
I'm so sorry, honey.
205
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:17,177
Charlie, did you know we were
supposed to meet with that guy
206
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:19,929
from the Portsmouth
Democratic Committee?
207
00:11:20,096 --> 00:11:21,931
Well, goddamn it,
Charlie.
208
00:11:22,098 --> 00:11:23,099
Now, honey.
209
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:25,685
Are you Uncle Charlie,
the Medal of Honor winner?
210
00:11:25,768 --> 00:11:29,522
Well, I'm Uncle Charlie and whatever
else he says. He's the master.
211
00:11:30,398 --> 00:11:33,109
If you just stop popping my
eardrum, I'll leave right now.
212
00:11:33,568 --> 00:11:36,279
No, please, don't. . .
Susan, don't go.
213
00:11:36,446 --> 00:11:39,449
Susan, just stay. . .
(DIAL TONE)
214
00:11:41,618 --> 00:11:43,661
We'd better go.
215
00:11:43,828 --> 00:11:46,164
All right. Where's the plane?
Teterboro.
216
00:11:46,331 --> 00:11:49,083
Shit. All the way out there?
All right. Let's go.
217
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:52,253
Arlen, see you in D.C.
Daisy, come with Howard tomorrow.
218
00:11:52,337 --> 00:11:55,131
Henry, Mitch, Charlie,
let's go, let's go.
219
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:58,593
Go? I just came here to talk to you about.
. . Talk on the plane.
220
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,970
It's just New Hampshire.
I teach. . . Sorry.
221
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:03,139
I teach classes
in the morning.
222
00:12:03,306 --> 00:12:05,141
Call in sick.
The kids won't mind.
223
00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:07,352
I. . . Do I have time
for a phone call?
224
00:12:07,518 --> 00:12:10,480
Well, when we get there.
Now, if we're gonna talk, let's talk.
225
00:12:10,688 --> 00:12:12,857
(ENGINE HUMMING)
226
00:12:20,323 --> 00:12:21,866
Governor?
227
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,418
Hi, hon.
228
00:12:33,378 --> 00:12:35,171
Mmm.
(KISSES)
229
00:12:35,338 --> 00:12:37,882
This is Henry Burton.
This is my wife Susan. Hello.
230
00:12:38,049 --> 00:12:41,261
I met you 25 years ago at your
grandfather's in Oak Bluffs.
231
00:12:41,427 --> 00:12:44,180
You were running under the
sprinkler in little wet underpants.
232
00:12:44,347 --> 00:12:46,766
Your grandfather was a great man.
Oh, thank you.
233
00:12:46,933 --> 00:12:48,810
Jack Stanton could also
be a great man,
234
00:12:48,977 --> 00:12:52,397
if he wasn't such a faithless, thoughtless,
disorganized, undisciplined shit.
235
00:12:52,563 --> 00:12:55,316
Honey, why are you making such a
big deal of this? Because it is big.
236
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:58,736
First impressions count, asshole.
Oh, hello, this is New Hampshire.
237
00:12:58,903 --> 00:13:02,282
These people don't know you. They
probably don't even remember your state.
238
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:04,909
They're waiting to be swept
off their feet by Orlando Ozio,
239
00:13:04,993 --> 00:13:06,160
who's governor
of a real state.
240
00:13:06,244 --> 00:13:08,246
They came to meet you,
and you didn't show.
241
00:13:08,329 --> 00:13:12,375
I talked to the head of the Portsmouth
Democratic Party about fly-fishing...
242
00:13:12,542 --> 00:13:14,585
for an hour
and 45 minutes.
243
00:13:14,752 --> 00:13:17,380
Do you realize how...
244
00:13:17,547 --> 00:13:21,009
indescribably boring
fly-fishing is?
245
00:13:21,175 --> 00:13:25,555
Do you realize I'm now committed
to doing this. . . I'm sorry.
246
00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:30,310
This thing with him. I'm going
fly-fishing because of you, asshole!
247
00:13:30,476 --> 00:13:34,147
You can't. . . It's not funny.
You can't do this to me, Jack.
248
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:35,648
We've only been
at this a month,
249
00:13:35,732 --> 00:13:38,443
and already you're fucking up
in your old fucked-up way.
250
00:13:38,568 --> 00:13:40,737
The only shot
we have here...
251
00:13:40,903 --> 00:13:43,239
The only shot
is to be perfect.
252
00:13:43,406 --> 00:13:45,908
Barely adequate won't swing it.
(WHISTLING)
253
00:13:46,075 --> 00:13:48,703
No, Jack,
you can't blow off...
254
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:51,039
(SINGING) Primrose Lane
Jack.
255
00:13:51,205 --> 00:13:54,876
Life's a holiday
on Primrose Lane
256
00:13:55,043 --> 00:13:58,671
When I'm walking down
that Primrose Lane
257
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:01,716
With you
You're not funny.
258
00:14:02,592 --> 00:14:04,886
(SIGHS) I have
got to find a phone.
259
00:14:05,053 --> 00:14:06,637
When we get back
to the apartment.
260
00:14:07,972 --> 00:14:10,933
Honey, this was
so great today,
261
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:12,852
this readin' program.
262
00:14:12,935 --> 00:14:14,479
You should have seen
the people,
263
00:14:14,562 --> 00:14:15,938
and the teacher was...
264
00:14:16,022 --> 00:14:17,857
Well, she was
just inspirational.
265
00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:18,941
SUSAN: Gimme a break.
266
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:21,194
Tell me how good the curriculum
was, not the teacher.
267
00:14:21,277 --> 00:14:22,820
We can replicate
a curriculum.
268
00:14:22,904 --> 00:14:25,406
You can't sell a program
without a good teacher.
269
00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:27,408
This is an argument
I always win, Henry.
270
00:14:27,575 --> 00:14:29,535
Was the teacher
that inspirational?
271
00:14:30,828 --> 00:14:32,580
Well, she...
272
00:14:37,668 --> 00:14:41,631
She was a pretty typical school
board bureaucrat, I thought.
273
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:42,882
Ha.
274
00:14:47,637 --> 00:14:49,931
CHARLIE: We got it
on a six-month sublet.
275
00:14:50,098 --> 00:14:52,517
It's better than a hotel.
Cheaper too.
276
00:14:52,683 --> 00:14:54,894
We can keep clothes
and store stuff.
277
00:14:55,061 --> 00:14:57,897
We have privacy.
I don't give a shit about privacy.
278
00:14:58,064 --> 00:15:00,858
I'm here to get known,
and you can't get known in private.
279
00:15:01,025 --> 00:15:03,653
This is more like the end of
a campaign than the beginning.
280
00:15:03,820 --> 00:15:06,823
(TV PLAYING) Goddamn it, Charlie!
No cable?
281
00:15:06,989 --> 00:15:08,574
You got to be kiddin', man.
282
00:15:08,658 --> 00:15:09,784
You can't run
for the president
283
00:15:09,867 --> 00:15:11,744
of the United-fucking-States
without CNN !
284
00:15:11,828 --> 00:15:12,829
SUSAN:
Do you have any bags?
285
00:15:12,912 --> 00:15:14,914
I didn't expect to come.
I'm leaving in the morning.
286
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:16,749
How about something to eat?
That'd be great.
287
00:15:16,833 --> 00:15:19,669
JACK: This is the worst two-bit,
candy-assed, goddamn place I've ever seen !
288
00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:21,254
Hey! Darling.
289
00:15:22,463 --> 00:15:26,634
It's 4:00 in the morning. This is not how
you want to be introduced to the neighbors.
290
00:15:27,135 --> 00:15:29,220
Come on, Henry.
I'll make you some tea.
291
00:15:29,387 --> 00:15:32,723
JACK: Yeah, well, I'm out
of here tomorrow morning.
292
00:15:32,890 --> 00:15:35,309
I know we got to go cheap,
but not this cheap.
293
00:15:35,643 --> 00:15:36,894
Not loser cheap.

(BEEPS)
296
00:15:46,362 --> 00:15:49,157
So why did you quit Larkin?
HENRY: What?
297
00:15:50,074 --> 00:15:53,119
Why did you stop working for Adam Larkin?
Careful, it's hot.
298
00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:56,539
Thank you.
Well, I just, um...
299
00:15:57,248 --> 00:16:00,710
It's all right. I know you can't talk
about your old boss to your new boss.
300
00:16:01,169 --> 00:16:03,045
I haven't got
a new boss yet.
301
00:16:06,382 --> 00:16:09,802
Larkin's very different
from Jack. Very cool.
302
00:16:10,887 --> 00:16:13,055
Never blinks.
Hmm.
303
00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:15,099

(SIPS, GRUNTS)
304
00:16:15,183 --> 00:16:16,642
Oh.
305
00:16:16,726 --> 00:16:19,145
He would never swallow tea
without testing it.
306
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:22,148
(CHUCKLES)
Aah.
307
00:16:22,315 --> 00:16:26,777
(CHUCKLES) That's the real thing
experience teaches you. Isn't it?
308
00:16:27,945 --> 00:16:29,447
How not to get burned.
309
00:16:29,530 --> 00:16:31,616
Do you think people
ever learn that?
310
00:16:31,699 --> 00:16:32,783
Not the best people.
311
00:16:37,455 --> 00:16:39,999
(PEOPLE CHATTERING QUIETLY)
312
00:16:50,593 --> 00:16:54,639
He, uh. . . Adam taught me
a lot, but...
313
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:57,099
it was all the same.
314
00:16:57,183 --> 00:16:58,559
He never surprised me.
315
00:16:59,060 --> 00:17:02,313
Almost no one stepped up and voted
with us because it was right.
316
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,773
They always asked for a lulu.
317
00:17:04,524 --> 00:17:05,525
Lulu?
318
00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:09,487
Uh, yeah. It's New York
for artificial sweeteners.
319
00:17:09,737 --> 00:17:10,863
(CHUCKLES)
320
00:17:11,405 --> 00:17:15,284
Anyway, we'd win,
and then we'd be gutted in the Senate.
321
00:17:15,451 --> 00:17:16,786
We'd settle
for their version,
322
00:17:16,869 --> 00:17:18,538
then the White House
would veto,
323
00:17:18,621 --> 00:17:20,706
which we knew
from the start.
324
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:24,627
Then what? We'd celebrate
our great moral victory.
325
00:17:24,794 --> 00:17:26,254
We forced a veto.
326
00:17:28,130 --> 00:17:29,465
So you dropped out?
327
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:32,552
Yeah.
328
00:17:34,804 --> 00:17:36,264
So why are you here?

It's 4:00 in the morning.
332
00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:50,069
Let's just tell the truth.
333
00:17:54,782 --> 00:17:56,033
Okay. Well,
334
00:17:57,118 --> 00:17:59,704
I was always curious
about how it would be...
335
00:17:59,787 --> 00:18:03,791
to work with someone
who actually cared about...
336
00:18:04,834 --> 00:18:06,711
I mean,
337
00:18:06,877 --> 00:18:09,505
it couldn't always have been
the way it is now.
338
00:18:09,589 --> 00:18:12,008
It must have been different
when my grandfather was alive.
339
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:13,301
Hey, you were there.
340
00:18:13,384 --> 00:18:15,553
You had Kennedy. I didn't.
341
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,515
I've never heard a president use
words like "destiny" and "sacrifice"
342
00:18:19,682 --> 00:18:21,851
without thinking,
"Bullshit."
343
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:26,188
And okay, maybe it was
bullshit with Kennedy too,
344
00:18:26,355 --> 00:18:28,441
but. . . (SIGHS)
345
00:18:28,524 --> 00:18:31,110
but. . . people believed it.
346
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,614
And. . . I guess...
347
00:18:35,323 --> 00:18:36,365
that's what I want.
348
00:18:36,449 --> 00:18:38,200
I want to believe it.
349
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:42,330
I want to be a part
of something that's history.
350
00:18:45,374 --> 00:18:47,251
I bet this is
the longest answer
351
00:18:47,335 --> 00:18:49,629
to a five-word question
you have ever gotten.
352
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,715
No, it isn't.
353
00:18:52,882 --> 00:18:55,718
The longest answer to a five-word
question I've ever gotten...
354
00:18:55,885 --> 00:18:58,387
is the answer to:
"Do you do much fly-fishing?"

356
00:19:00,556 --> 00:19:02,391
It's a good answer,
Henry.

History's what
we're about too.
358

What else is there?

Listen, I think this guy
could be the real thing.

This guy could be so incredible,
you'd end up working for him.

This son of a bitch
actually likes these people.

He's worth the risk.
This guy could really do...

We have a fund-raiser in 20 minutes.

until New Hampshire.

for the governor?

how he's running the campaign.

whole life for her family...
491
00:25:05,045 --> 00:25:07,548
and never did anything
for herself!

00:25:07,965 --> 00:25:12,052
Now they're cuttin' her up!
Cuttin' pieces out of her!

It didn't occur to me. . .

with Susan, Jackie and me.

And, Henry, the reason
I won't take on Ozio
701

is that I don't want to give that son of a
bitch the power to make me the son of a bitch.

is he also invites his friends.

It's three weeks
to the primary.
757
00:38:22,550 --> 00:38:24,302
What I want to say
about health care
758
00:38:24,469 --> 00:38:28,681
is that although it's vital that every
man, woman and child be covered,
759
00:38:28,848 --> 00:38:32,977
it's also vital that we
conserve as well as expend.

00:38:33,144 --> 00:38:37,315
We're providing a safety net
for folks on welfare

who otherwise would be unable
to get off welfare. Oh, shit.

(LAUGHTER)
MAN: Lookin' sad.
768
00:38:53,414 --> 00:38:56,793
I remember a time when
being a Democrat meant more...
769
00:38:56,876 --> 00:38:59,671
than just giving welfare
recipients a safety net.
770
00:38:59,796 --> 00:39:01,589
It meant giving them
a ladder.
771
00:39:01,673 --> 00:39:04,592
It meant giving them a way to
climb back to an equal height.
772
00:39:04,759 --> 00:39:08,304
It meant dignity.
I say if we don't control spending,
773
00:39:08,471 --> 00:39:11,057
we don't shore up the economy
of this great country of ours,
774
00:39:11,224 --> 00:39:13,017
our economy will go under.

the economy up for?

Your bond-holding fat cats?
I'd like to know.
778
00:39:20,149 --> 00:39:24,612
It's not just bondholders. Ordinary
men and women will benefit as well.

Why is he doing this?

Because he's just got to get on
the good side of Lawrence Harris.
781
00:39:32,453 --> 00:39:34,789
A lower deficit means,
among other things,
782
00:39:34,956 --> 00:39:37,083
that working families will
have lower mortgage rates.

Then released.
The record was expunged.
806
00:40:43,149 --> 00:40:45,068
You remember how
you were released?

be interested too.

Do you know why
he was released?
818
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:24,232
He called a senator
to get him out of jail
819
00:41:24,399 --> 00:41:27,610
and then persuaded the mayor of
Chicago to have his record expunged.
820
00:41:27,777 --> 00:41:29,696
So?
"So"?
821
00:41:29,862 --> 00:41:32,782
You don't care that this guy was
already so manipulative in the '60s...
822
00:41:32,949 --> 00:41:35,076
that he got into bed
with the mayor of Chicago,
823
00:41:35,243 --> 00:41:37,996
the same mayor that busted the
protestors at the Democratic Convention?
824
00:41:38,162 --> 00:41:42,333
No, I don't care. Stanton was
never a radical. He's a politician.
825
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:45,044
He couldn't get elected with a
record, so he had that expunged.
826
00:41:45,211 --> 00:41:48,381
That's the kind of man you want to work for,
somebody who just wants to get elected?

00:41:48,506 --> 00:41:51,259
No, I want to work for a man
who fights the good fight,
828
00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:52,927
then watch a Republican
get elected.
829
00:41:53,052 --> 00:41:55,722
What's the difference? Can you tell?
I can tell the difference
830
00:41:55,805 --> 00:41:59,392
between a man who believes what
I believe and lies to get elected
831
00:41:59,559 --> 00:42:02,270
and a man who. . . who just
doesn't give a fuck.
832
00:42:02,437 --> 00:42:05,857
I'll take the liar.
How did he do this to you?
833
00:42:06,024 --> 00:42:08,985
Do what? What?
What are you...
834
00:42:10,361 --> 00:42:12,280
Why are you making this guy
into the devil?
835
00:42:12,447 --> 00:42:16,451
Why don't you at least get to know
him, maybe spend a few days with us?
836
00:42:18,536 --> 00:42:20,747
Honey, I miss you,
and we could be together.
837
00:42:21,914 --> 00:42:23,624
(SCOFFS) God.
838
00:42:23,791 --> 00:42:26,836
I think you'd fuck me to get
some good press for Stanton.
839
00:42:38,264 --> 00:42:39,640
We're in trouble.
840
00:42:41,225 --> 00:42:43,061
What does she have?
841
00:42:45,521 --> 00:42:47,982
What the fuck is The Black
Advocate doing covering Stanton?
842
00:42:48,066 --> 00:42:49,734
They're not.
It's. . . She's...
843
00:42:50,401 --> 00:42:51,611
It's personal.
844
00:42:54,781 --> 00:42:56,991
Well, it don't matter.
We're fucked.
845
00:42:57,158 --> 00:42:59,702
If some little shitty paper
like The Black Advocate's
846
00:42:59,786 --> 00:43:01,579
got a reporter
who can dig this up,
847
00:43:01,662 --> 00:43:04,165
then we're fuckin'
flying blind in the wind.
848
00:43:04,332 --> 00:43:06,292
Now they're all
gonna come after us.
849
00:43:06,375 --> 00:43:08,628
Did you see any other president
up there on the stage tonight?
850
00:43:08,711 --> 00:43:11,297
We're the fucking
ball game.
851
00:43:12,048 --> 00:43:16,427
Now every flea that ever nipped his
ass is gonna want a piece of us.
852
00:43:16,594 --> 00:43:19,597
It's gonna be the war thing,
the drug thing, the woman thing.
853
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,350
That's the killer right there. You're
gonna have to talk to him about that.
854
00:43:22,517 --> 00:43:24,977
Me? No. Hey,
you're the strategy guy.
855
00:43:25,311 --> 00:43:27,063
But you're the body man.
856
00:43:27,230 --> 00:43:29,065
Maybe we can talk
to Susan.
857
00:43:29,232 --> 00:43:31,234
Are you out
of your fuckin' mind?
858
00:43:31,901 --> 00:43:35,947
"Mrs. Stanton, we need to know who the governor's
plugging so we can have spin control."
859
00:43:36,114 --> 00:43:37,865
All right, then,
let's just quit.
860
00:43:38,032 --> 00:43:40,284
If everyone's gonna take a bite out of
him, we're not gonna say anything,
861
00:43:40,368 --> 00:43:43,121
let's go work for someone we're
not too chickenshit to protect.
862
00:43:49,043 --> 00:43:52,046
All right. We'll set up a meeting.
Him or her?
863
00:43:52,213 --> 00:43:54,048
Shit, her!
Her!
864
00:43:54,841 --> 00:43:56,759
Goddamn,
this is gonna be rough.
865
00:43:57,510 --> 00:44:01,347
So, I have to be in Concord
in an hour to meet Jack.
866
00:44:01,514 --> 00:44:03,099
What's the crisis?
867
00:44:09,564 --> 00:44:12,567
It's campaign business.
It's, uh, private.
868
00:44:12,733 --> 00:44:15,027
Please, if it's not
too private for you...
869
00:44:15,111 --> 00:44:18,197
Lucille is one of my closest
friends and part of this campaign.
870
00:44:19,782 --> 00:44:21,576
What's the crisis?
871
00:44:37,049 --> 00:44:38,509
(EXHALES)
872
00:44:44,223 --> 00:44:46,100
Say you're out in the woods
taking a shit...
873
00:44:47,101 --> 00:44:49,770
and a wild boar
comes charging at ya.
874
00:44:50,688 --> 00:44:53,941
Now, do you pull
your britches up and run?
875
00:44:55,484 --> 00:45:00,239
Or do you try to pull your britches
up and grab the doves you just shot,
876
00:45:01,073 --> 00:45:04,118
and then try to run,
all at the same time?
877
00:45:05,953 --> 00:45:09,832
Or do you just forget about the fuckin'
doves, pull your britches up and run,
878
00:45:09,916 --> 00:45:12,585
'cause you ain't got time
to aim and button your fly?
879
00:45:16,631 --> 00:45:18,466
And if you miss,
880
00:45:19,300 --> 00:45:24,597
well. . . you don't want to die
with your dick hanging out.
881
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,057
You see what
I'm sayin'?
882
00:45:26,807 --> 00:45:29,810
I think I speak for everyone
in the room when I say no.
883
00:45:30,394 --> 00:45:32,647
Well, I mean, uh,
884
00:45:33,272 --> 00:45:35,524
what if you're not
prepared for the boar,
885
00:45:35,691 --> 00:45:39,278
and you get caught with your
britches down and lose the doves?
886
00:45:39,362 --> 00:45:42,198
All right, what Richard
is saying is...
887
00:45:43,157 --> 00:45:46,869
(SIGHS) If you get caught
in the forest...
888
00:45:46,953 --> 00:45:49,413
Don't give us a "taking a shit
in the woods" metaphor again.
889
00:45:49,497 --> 00:45:51,123
Tell us what you
are talking about.
890
00:45:52,124 --> 00:45:53,376
Okay.
891
00:45:54,085 --> 00:45:56,462
Say that this boar is part. . .
I don't believe this.
892
00:45:56,545 --> 00:45:59,340
Who do the boars represent,
the Republicans?
893
00:45:59,423 --> 00:46:01,509
HENRY: No, the press. The press?
894
00:46:01,592 --> 00:46:04,345
Yes. Don't they?
895
00:46:04,512 --> 00:46:07,014
Yeah, the press.
(SNIFFS)
896
00:46:07,181 --> 00:46:09,684
Now, you're dealing
with these wild boars.
897
00:46:09,850 --> 00:46:13,771
Oh, God. Suddenly they start
saying things like "marijuana."
898
00:46:14,188 --> 00:46:17,024
"Chicago." Maybe a woman
comes forward and says...
899
00:46:17,108 --> 00:46:19,777
LUCILLE: Bullshit.
That's not gonna happen.
900
00:46:19,860 --> 00:46:22,780
Absolutely not.
I don't think so either.
901
00:46:22,863 --> 00:46:24,323
But...
902
00:46:26,450 --> 00:46:28,327
I'm just trying
to figure this out.
903
00:46:29,245 --> 00:46:30,579
If it did happen,
904
00:46:31,706 --> 00:46:35,293
then he's not gonna get trapped like
Hart, 'cause we know the rules.
905
00:46:35,459 --> 00:46:38,921
If some bimbo from a former life comes
forward, we just say, "Bullshit."
906
00:46:39,005 --> 00:46:42,091
LUCILLE: Bullshit is right.
What are you suggesting we do?
907
00:46:42,508 --> 00:46:45,511
How would you deal with it?
By knowing more than they do.
908
00:46:45,594 --> 00:46:50,141
By being prepared, so when a story like Chicago
comes up, we fight back with the truth.
909
00:46:50,224 --> 00:46:53,436
How are we supposed to know what kind
of garbage they're gonna come up with?
910
00:46:53,519 --> 00:46:57,231
That's the point, Lucille.
That's the whole ever-fuckin' point.
911
00:46:58,024 --> 00:47:00,860
We need to hire an operative
to do research, you see?
912
00:47:00,943 --> 00:47:03,821
We need somebody that can get at.
. . Investigate our lives.
913
00:47:03,904 --> 00:47:07,658
Investigate everything anybody
can make an allegation about.
914
00:47:07,992 --> 00:47:09,952
That's ridiculous.
We don't play that game.
915
00:47:10,119 --> 00:47:12,538
That's the media's game.
We play the people's game.
916
00:47:12,621 --> 00:47:14,415
We say, "The Republicans
and the media
917
00:47:14,498 --> 00:47:15,875
"want the election
to be about trash.
918
00:47:16,042 --> 00:47:17,835
"We want it to be
about your future."
919
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,422
We don't shoot doves in this campaign.
We protect them.
920
00:47:22,256 --> 00:47:23,507
What do you mean?
921
00:47:26,594 --> 00:47:30,181
Well, don't the doves
represent the people?
922
00:47:30,806 --> 00:47:33,726
RICHARD: No. Then I don't
understand who the doves are.
923
00:47:33,893 --> 00:47:36,854
Forget the doves.
Henry, you agree with this?
924
00:47:37,646 --> 00:47:39,815
Yes.
SUSAN: Okay.
925
00:47:40,483 --> 00:47:42,443
We'll do it.
I'll tell the governor.
926
00:47:42,568 --> 00:47:44,362
I want Libby Holden.
Oh, my God !
927
00:47:44,528 --> 00:47:47,865
If we're gonna get someone to find the
dirt, we have to have someone who knows us,
928
00:47:47,948 --> 00:47:49,992
someone we trust
completely.
929
00:47:50,076 --> 00:47:52,244
But I mean,
is she out of the hospital?
930
00:47:52,328 --> 00:47:53,371
Yes.
931
00:47:53,537 --> 00:47:55,664
LUCILLE: She's okay now?
Who is she?
932
00:47:55,748 --> 00:47:58,626
She was Jack's chief of staff 20 years ago.
She had a breakdown.
933
00:47:58,709 --> 00:48:00,878
She just suddenly
became incoherent
934
00:48:00,961 --> 00:48:02,296
in the middle
of a press conference.
935
00:48:02,463 --> 00:48:05,257
It was awful. She's been in and
out of mental hospitals for years.
936
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:07,927
She seems very stable now.
She's been home for 18 months.
937
00:48:08,010 --> 00:48:09,929
You and Henry can fly back
tomorrow and brief her.
938
00:48:10,888 --> 00:48:14,433
Well, that's good. . .
that she's stable,
939
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,853
because you're kind of putting the
whole campaign in her hands now.
940
00:48:17,937 --> 00:48:19,939
Yes, I know.
941
00:48:20,898 --> 00:48:23,150
RICHARD: Well, that's good.
942
00:48:24,318 --> 00:48:25,861
(CLEARS THROAT)
943
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,910
LUCILLE: Are we the doves? SUSAN: Lucille,
I think we can forget the metaphor.
944
00:48:32,993 --> 00:48:33,994
(DOOR CLOSES)
945
00:48:34,078 --> 00:48:37,164
Actually, I think we're the ones
taking the shit in the woods.

Hey, Ella.
Henry.
947
00:48:43,129 --> 00:48:47,007
Oh, I'm just thrilled
y'all came back.

00:48:47,091 --> 00:48:49,343
I got a million messages
for you.

Hey, Henry,
how're you doin'?
952
00:48:57,435 --> 00:49:00,187
On behalf of Jack Stanton,
we'd like to thank you for your support.
953

'em assistants. Jennifer, look who's back!

and wearing a yarmulke.

You learned how
to watch your mouth yet?

00:49:32,928 --> 00:49:36,390
I will not let you fuck up this
campaign too. I will not let it happen !
966
00:49:36,557 --> 00:49:39,393
Uh. . .
That was 20 years ago.
967
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,937
Yes, I was thinner then.
I had a waist.

a safe house.
972
00:49:53,949 --> 00:49:57,077
I know the house.
Little, nice rose garden.
973
00:49:57,244 --> 00:50:00,331
Call Becky Raymond.
673-4982.
974
00:50:00,414 --> 00:50:02,291
Tell her it's for the governor.
She'll know what you mean.
975
00:50:02,708 --> 00:50:04,293
Now, staff.
976
00:50:05,753 --> 00:50:08,797
I want that one,
the one who looks like Winona Ryder.
977
00:50:08,964 --> 00:50:11,008
Gorgeous.
Is she smart?
978
00:50:11,175 --> 00:50:12,927
Oh, she's smart.
979
00:50:13,093 --> 00:50:15,846
I want her as soon as the
meeting's over. Start.

00:50:17,181 --> 00:50:19,558
Well, um, a reporter
for The Black Advocate
981
00:50:19,642 --> 00:50:21,685
dug up the governor's
Chicago arrest.
982
00:50:21,769 --> 00:50:24,355
We know we can't stop that.
Why stop it? It's a paper trail.
983
00:50:24,438 --> 00:50:25,898
Chicago's not
that important.
984
00:50:26,023 --> 00:50:28,943
But we're concerned
there may be other things.
985
00:50:29,109 --> 00:50:31,070
Like Cashmere McLeod.
Uh, who?
986

(SCOFFS) Boy, you really
don't know shit, do you?
987
00:50:34,031 --> 00:50:35,449
You mean Susan's hairdresser?

00:50:35,533 --> 00:50:36,992
And Jack's porkpie.

What? For Christ's
sake, act your age.

00:50:40,913 --> 00:50:43,749
Jack Stanton fucks around,
and he's got enemies.
991
00:50:43,958 --> 00:50:47,628
But what, Susan's hairdresser?
What can she do to us?
992
00:50:48,003 --> 00:50:51,257
She can sell her story
to the Flash for 150,000,
993
00:50:51,423 --> 00:50:56,595
minus the ten percent she's giving to the
slime-suckin', down-on-his-luck attorney...
994
00:50:56,679 --> 00:50:58,681
who's agenting
the deal for her.
995
00:50:58,764 --> 00:51:02,560
You know this?
No, I imagined it in the booby hatch !
996
00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:04,061
It's bullshit.
997
00:51:04,144 --> 00:51:05,646
In your dreams, sweetheart.
998
00:51:05,771 --> 00:51:08,649
She can't hurt us.
She has no proof.
999
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:10,943
She has no credibility.
It's bullshit.
1000
00:51:11,026 --> 00:51:12,903
She's the tip
of the iceberg.
1001
00:51:13,070 --> 00:51:15,531
Our Jackie's done some pretty
stupid things in his life.
1002
00:51:15,739 --> 00:51:18,450
He's poked his pecker
in some sorry trash bins.
1003
00:51:18,867 --> 00:51:21,537
We got to stop 'em
before they stop us.
1004
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:24,748
We got to crush 'em
and sweep 'em up.
1005
00:51:24,915 --> 00:51:28,335
From now on, you can
call me the Dustbuster.
1006
00:51:28,502 --> 00:51:31,755
You know, honey child?
I'm stronger than dirt.
1007
00:51:31,922 --> 00:51:33,632
(MUFFLED)
I believe you.
1008
00:51:34,592 --> 00:51:38,262
We could offer her 200,000 not to print it.
Then kill her to make sure?
1009
00:51:38,387 --> 00:51:40,472
The important thing is
he didn't do anything wrong,
1010
00:51:40,556 --> 00:51:41,890
he has nothing
to be defensive about.
1011
00:51:41,974 --> 00:51:44,602
He should act pissed off. But not too
pissed off. He's running for president.
1012
00:51:44,685 --> 00:51:47,688
It should be like, "Well, it's too
bad, but we don't take it seriously."
1013
00:51:47,938 --> 00:51:51,025
RICHARD: This ain't as frightening
as things that happen to people,
1014
00:51:51,150 --> 00:51:52,776
like losing your job
or getting foreclosed.
1015
00:51:52,860 --> 00:51:54,695
DAISY: Where the fuck's the light?
HENRY: I'm looking for it.
1016
00:51:54,820 --> 00:51:57,448
Like, "Shit happens, but
we're calm in a shit storm."
1017
00:51:57,948 --> 00:52:00,743
Or maybe it's, "We expected
this crap to happen."
1018
00:52:00,909 --> 00:52:03,412
DAISY: Right.
The usual media trash bash.
1019
00:52:03,579 --> 00:52:05,080
Why did he do it?
1020
00:52:05,164 --> 00:52:08,459
Did he figure Cashmere McLeod would be
so honored she'd never betray the secret?
1021
00:52:08,792 --> 00:52:11,920
Wait a minute. Maybe it isn't true.
What difference does it make?
1022
00:52:12,004 --> 00:52:13,714
It'd be better
if it wasn't true.
1023
00:52:14,006 --> 00:52:17,968
Why? They say Hitler never looked
at another woman after Eva Braun.
1024
00:52:18,052 --> 00:52:19,637
Does that make him
better than Stanton?
1025
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:23,807
Or Jefferson, Kennedy, or any of the guys
we wish we worked for who fucked around?
1026
00:52:24,266 --> 00:52:26,685
But that's not the official
line for interviews.
1027
00:52:27,353 --> 00:52:30,522
(SIGHS)
No, of course not.
1028
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:36,070
Today a potentially explosive
development for Governor Jack Stanton
1029
00:52:36,153 --> 00:52:39,490
in his quest for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
1030
00:52:39,573 --> 00:52:41,283
A hairdresser has come
forward alleging
1031
00:52:41,408 --> 00:52:43,577
a long-term affair
with the married candidate.
1032
00:52:43,786 --> 00:52:46,914
The story, as yet unconfirmed,
appeared today in the Flash.
1033
00:52:47,081 --> 00:52:49,083
There has been no statement
yet from the governor...
1034
00:52:49,249 --> 00:52:51,210
regarding the young woman,
Cashmere McLeod...
1035
00:52:51,293 --> 00:52:54,129
LUCILLE: Unbelievable. ...but the
accusation comes right on the heels...
1036
00:52:54,213 --> 00:52:59,218
of the disclosure that Governor Stanton
was arrested in 1968 in Chicago.
1037
00:52:59,385 --> 00:53:01,595
RICHARD: Fuckin' Eye Witness News.
Goddamn it.
1038
00:53:01,679 --> 00:53:05,557
Ted Koppel wants someone from the team
for his show. 60 Minutes wants a Sunday...
1039
00:53:05,641 --> 00:53:08,936
Do we have to take this?
They're gonna dignify this garbage.
1040
00:53:09,103 --> 00:53:12,064
We have to go along with that?
Well, we can't ignore it.
1041
00:53:12,314 --> 00:53:14,983
They might have given him Chicago
'cause that was 30 years ago,
1042
00:53:15,067 --> 00:53:17,611
and they might have given him
Cashmere because she was paid.
1043
00:53:17,778 --> 00:53:20,739
But the two right on top of one another.
. . You see what I'm saying?
1044
00:53:20,906 --> 00:53:22,616
How many people are going
to be saying,
1045
00:53:22,700 --> 00:53:25,703
"Do we want a former radical hippie
that messes with hairdressers?"
1046
00:53:25,953 --> 00:53:28,330
He did not fuck
Cashmere McLeod.
1047
00:53:28,831 --> 00:53:31,583
If you can't handle that simple
fact, you can leave right now.
1048
00:53:35,713 --> 00:53:38,590
All right.
Let's think this through.
1049
00:53:40,467 --> 00:53:42,928
Who has thoughts about
60 Minutes?
1050
00:53:43,095 --> 00:53:46,473
Well, I think you do it. I think
you say yes to all these interviews,
1051
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,642
and show 'em we ain't
got a thing to hide.
1052
00:53:48,726 --> 00:53:51,603
HOWARD: And the sooner the better.
We have two weeks left to the primary.
1053
00:53:51,687 --> 00:53:55,190
DAISY: Right.
And I think we should take the attitude
1054
00:53:55,274 --> 00:53:56,650
that we expected this
to happen, you know?
1055
00:53:56,734 --> 00:53:59,111
It's just the usual
bullshit media trash bash.
1056
00:53:59,194 --> 00:54:02,448
RICHARD: Shit happens,
but we're calm in a shit storm, you know?
1057
00:54:03,699 --> 00:54:06,660
This is not near as bad as things
that happen to real people.
1058
00:54:06,827 --> 00:54:09,163
(VOICES CONTINUE, FAINT)
1059
00:54:12,833 --> 00:54:14,543
SUSAN: Do you agree, Henry?
1060
00:54:40,319 --> 00:54:42,821
JACK: My problem is I go out
and I run and I work out,
1061
00:54:42,988 --> 00:54:46,909
and then I come in here and eat donuts.
(CHUCKLING)
1062
00:54:46,992 --> 00:54:49,912
Well, you know, you got to eat something.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
1063
00:54:50,078 --> 00:54:54,208
I mean, the thing is,
is just not to eat too many of 'em.
1064
00:54:54,374 --> 00:54:57,336
I believe you're right.
If you could just have a little bit.
1065
00:54:57,461 --> 00:55:01,048
Hey, Governor. Henry, my man.
Sit down. Have some coffee.
1066
00:55:01,131 --> 00:55:03,342
No, I'm okay.
You gonna get some sleep tonight?
1067
00:55:03,425 --> 00:55:06,261
Hmm. Absolutely.
Don't you worry about me.
1068
00:55:06,512 --> 00:55:08,305
I was just going over
some ideas with Danny here.
1069
00:55:08,388 --> 00:55:12,059
Danny Scanlon,
this is my friend Henry Burton. Hi.
1070
00:55:12,142 --> 00:55:15,521
Can I get you something, Mr. Burton?
Apple fritter? No, thanks.
1071
00:55:15,896 --> 00:55:18,816
You know that Danny here
works here every night,
1072
00:55:18,899 --> 00:55:21,235
twelve-hour shift,
$5.25 an hour?
1073
00:55:21,568 --> 00:55:24,363
But like I was telling
the governor, I don't mind.
1074
00:55:24,446 --> 00:55:27,616
I would mind if I couldn't work.
How about an apple fritter?
1075
00:55:27,783 --> 00:55:29,243
Uh, not for me.
1076
00:55:29,660 --> 00:55:33,205
What was the best game you saw all
year, Danny? College, not pro.
1077
00:55:33,497 --> 00:55:36,500
(SIGHS) Utah State
versus San Diego State.
1078
00:55:36,625 --> 00:55:39,503
Oh, yes, that was
a great game, wasn't it?
1079
00:55:39,795 --> 00:55:42,130
Yeah, I saw that.
It was a great ground game.
1080
00:55:42,381 --> 00:55:47,302
Yep. You got to have a good ground game.
Yeah, you do. (CHUCKLING)
1081
00:55:47,594 --> 00:55:50,097
Apple fritter?
No, I, I just said...
1082
00:55:50,305 --> 00:55:52,683
I. . . I'll have one,
Dan, but just one. Okay.
1083
00:55:52,766 --> 00:55:57,688
I will make some fresh coffee,
and if you want some, you call me.
1084
00:55:57,771 --> 00:55:59,273
All right, Danny.
Thank you.
1085
00:56:03,652 --> 00:56:07,781
You look tired, Governor.
Maybe it's time to go home.
1086
00:56:08,156 --> 00:56:11,535
They're gonna kill me with trash.
Not if you don't let them.
1087
00:56:11,618 --> 00:56:14,955
It's my own fault. It's my own goddamned
fault. I didn't keep it together.
1088
00:56:16,665 --> 00:56:20,168
We can still win this thing.
We're going to win it.
1089
00:56:20,669 --> 00:56:23,338
But the hits you're taking are
nothing compared to
1090
00:56:23,422 --> 00:56:24,590
what average folks
are going through.
1091
00:56:24,673 --> 00:56:25,674
Hmm.
1092
00:56:25,757 --> 00:56:27,926
Losing their jobs,
losing their homes.
1093
00:56:28,010 --> 00:56:29,928
Keep that in your mind.
Yes.
1094
00:56:30,012 --> 00:56:32,014
Keep the folks in your mind.
1095
00:56:32,097 --> 00:56:33,640
It's about them,
isn't it?
1096
00:56:33,724 --> 00:56:35,976
Yeah, it's about them.
It's about history.
1097
00:56:36,143 --> 00:56:40,480
Well, that's truer for Susan than it
is for me. It's always been about them.
1098
00:56:40,564 --> 00:56:42,566
Like this fella,
Danny Scanlon.
1099
00:56:43,233 --> 00:56:45,360
Worked every day
since he was 14.
1100
00:56:45,903 --> 00:56:48,822
Couldn't get insurance,
couldn't get his leg fixed right.
1101
00:56:49,489 --> 00:56:51,033
Doesn't complain.
1102
00:56:51,950 --> 00:56:54,828
Doesn't do anyone any harm.
Achin' to do good.
1103
00:56:56,872 --> 00:56:58,749
(SIGHING)
God, if you...
1104
00:56:59,708 --> 00:57:01,293
If you let a man
like that go down,
1105
00:57:01,376 --> 00:57:03,837
you don't deserve to take up
space on this planet, do you?
1106
00:57:04,004 --> 00:57:06,173
We won't let him go down. No.
1107
00:57:17,809 --> 00:57:21,480
(RINGING)
HENRY: (GASPS) Sh...
1108
00:57:22,606 --> 00:57:26,318
Yeah.
LIBBY: Bummer, Henry, bummer.
1109
00:57:26,693 --> 00:57:29,905
Libby?
Yeah. She's got tapes.
1110
00:57:30,072 --> 00:57:31,531
Who?
Who's got tapes?
1111
00:57:31,782 --> 00:57:33,909
Cashmere, the hair slut,
you moron.
1112
00:57:34,034 --> 00:57:35,744
She's gonna play 'em at her
press conference tomorrow.
1113
00:57:35,827 --> 00:57:37,996
I do not have time
for ineptitude.
1114
00:57:38,288 --> 00:57:40,457
Now go tell Jack and Susan
the cunt's got tapes,
1115
00:57:40,540 --> 00:57:42,918
and get your ass
back to Mammoth Falls.
1116
00:57:44,086 --> 00:57:45,462
(DIAL TONE)
1117
00:57:45,545 --> 00:57:47,214
(SIGHING)
1118
00:58:00,602 --> 00:58:02,562
Hey, Henry.
Morning.
1119
00:58:02,646 --> 00:58:05,107
Honey, I have to run.
I will. Hold on.
1120
00:58:05,816 --> 00:58:08,318
The new member of the swimming
team wants to talk to you.
1121
00:58:08,485 --> 00:58:12,572
Hey, Jackie boy.
That's great. You made it.
1122
00:58:12,739 --> 00:58:15,409
Well, that's great.
We're proud of you.
1123
00:58:16,201 --> 00:58:19,454
Yeah. No, no, just a bunch of
campaign garbage, that's all.
1124
00:58:19,538 --> 00:58:21,415
Governor, this. . .
this can't wait.
1125
00:58:22,541 --> 00:58:25,627
All right. Well, we'll call you tonight.
I love you too. Bye-bye.
1126
00:58:25,794 --> 00:58:28,547
What is it?
I was just talking to Libby.
1127
00:58:28,714 --> 00:58:31,466
She says Cashmere McLeod has
tape recordings of you and her
1128
00:58:31,591 --> 00:58:33,218
talking on
the phone together,
1129
00:58:33,301 --> 00:58:35,887
and she's gonna play them at
a press conference tomorrow.
1130
00:58:39,975 --> 00:58:42,436
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
SUSAN: How bad?
1131
00:58:42,602 --> 00:58:46,231
I don't know. Did you tell her. . .
Henry, could you excuse us, please?
1132
00:58:46,398 --> 00:58:47,733
Sure.
1133
00:58:55,365 --> 00:58:58,493
Well, it is cold here, Sam,
but these are friendly people.
1134
00:58:58,577 --> 00:58:59,703
It reminds me a lot of home.
1135
00:58:59,786 --> 00:59:01,496
I like her hair
that way.
1136
00:59:01,621 --> 00:59:05,500
It softens her face. Yes.
Could be longer, though.
1137
00:59:05,876 --> 00:59:07,669
If you hung out
with us for a day,
1138
00:59:07,836 --> 00:59:11,339
you'd see what the folks are
really interested in is the future.
1139
00:59:11,423 --> 00:59:12,758
He's gotten fat.
1140
00:59:12,841 --> 00:59:15,177
MAN: And he jogs. Can you
imagine how much he eats?
1141
00:59:15,260 --> 00:59:16,970
Can you imagine
what he eats?
1142
00:59:17,054 --> 00:59:18,555
What's he
governor of again?
1143
00:59:18,638 --> 00:59:21,516
Let me see. It's not Georgia. ANNOUNCER:
Governor, just to set the record straight,
1144
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,227
did you have an affair with
Cashmere McLeod? Not Florida.
1145
00:59:24,311 --> 00:59:27,773
Now, Sam, I am not gonna
dignify that trash.
1146
00:59:27,939 --> 00:59:30,609
And I am disappointed,
at a time when the American people...
1147
00:59:30,776 --> 00:59:32,527
have an awful lot
they're concerned about,
1148
00:59:32,694 --> 00:59:36,031
I saw a picture of the hairdresser.
Not bad.
1149
00:59:36,198 --> 00:59:38,366
We've had tough times in our
marriage, but we've worked them out.
1150
00:59:38,450 --> 00:59:40,118
I don't think
this is fair.
1151
00:59:41,661 --> 00:59:45,415
People suffer and struggle and go
through all sorts of crazy things.
1152
00:59:45,707 --> 00:59:47,626
The important thing is
we're still here.
1153
00:59:48,085 --> 00:59:52,464
If you want to draw a political lesson
from that about Jack's character,
1154
00:59:52,631 --> 00:59:54,591
here it is:
He will stick.
1155
00:59:54,758 --> 00:59:57,177
He will work
through the tough times.
1156
00:59:57,344 --> 01:00:01,139
He will wake up every morning and
bust his butt for the American people.
1157
01:00:01,306 --> 01:00:03,475
"Bust his butt."
The mouth on her.
1158
01:00:03,558 --> 01:00:05,435
He should just take
her in hand.
1159
01:00:05,894 --> 01:00:08,980
Yeah, right. Yeah, but she's honest.
They had some tough times.
1160
01:00:09,106 --> 01:00:11,691
Maybe that's when he screwed
the hairdresser. (PHONE RINGING)

No time to talk. We got to get to Sailor's
and watch old Cashmere with an expert.

one thing clear.

We'll take no questions until
after the playing of the tapes.

be an inquisition.

01:07:23,831 --> 01:07:25,625
I-I don't know
anything about this.
1302
01:07:25,792 --> 01:07:27,752
He's shocked.
He had no idea.
1303
01:07:27,919 --> 01:07:30,838
Now, Randy, you gonna
write this out in longhand?
1304
01:07:31,005 --> 01:07:34,092
I don't know what you're
talkin' about. Enough.
1305
01:07:34,259 --> 01:07:37,887
You know what?
I'm gonna blow your nuts off. Oh, shit!
1306
01:07:37,971 --> 01:07:40,056
Yes, I'm a gay
lesbian woman.
1307
01:07:40,139 --> 01:07:42,475
I do not mythologize
the male sexual organ.
1308
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,271
RANDY: God !
Now, now, you tiny scumbag,
1309
01:07:46,354 --> 01:07:47,605
I know you did it.
1310
01:07:47,689 --> 01:07:50,233
You're on retainer
to the Flash. I know that.
1311
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,151
And you stupid
little shit!
1312
01:07:52,318 --> 01:07:56,281
You couldn't just make do with the crap
Jack actually did. You had to embellish it.
1313
01:07:56,447 --> 01:07:58,491
Mister, you're about
to become missus.
1314
01:07:58,658 --> 01:08:02,704
Libby, come on. Don't! You have a
choice to make, and very quickly.
1315
01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:06,624
Just how crazy is Libby?
And you're gonna have to do it now.
1316
01:08:06,791 --> 01:08:08,876
One. . . two...
1317
01:08:10,128 --> 01:08:12,589
Oh, this is gonna be fun.
(CLICKING)
1318
01:08:12,672 --> 01:08:14,549
Okay! Okay! Okay!
1319
01:08:14,632 --> 01:08:17,343
LIBBY: Very good. Very wise.
1320
01:08:17,510 --> 01:08:22,599
Now, I want you to be eloquent in
this letter you're about to write...
1321
01:08:23,516 --> 01:08:26,227
and guilt-ridden
about your jealousy and greed.
1322
01:08:26,394 --> 01:08:28,187
You could not
live with yourself
1323
01:08:28,271 --> 01:08:30,940
if you deprived the
American people of this man.
1324
01:08:31,232 --> 01:08:33,735
Tonight an aide
of Governor Jack Stanton
1325
01:08:33,818 --> 01:08:35,820
has asked to join us
in order to play a tape.
1326
01:08:36,654 --> 01:08:39,407
I haven't heard this tape yet,
but my producer has.
1327
01:08:39,490 --> 01:08:43,161
We'd like to thank her for letting
us go on with such short notice.
1328
01:08:43,661 --> 01:08:44,871
Okay, here we go.
1329
01:08:45,371 --> 01:08:47,874
KING ON TAPE: Uh,
I can be there in 15 minutes.
1330
01:08:48,041 --> 01:08:49,959
WOMAN ON TAPE RECORDER:
I could come up there, sugar.
1331
01:08:50,043 --> 01:08:52,712
KING: No, no, no. I can't wait.
I have to have it now, okay?
1332
01:08:52,879 --> 01:08:56,883
WOMAN: Oh, entirely. I get hot
just thinkin' about it.
1333
01:08:57,050 --> 01:08:59,886
RICHARD: Look at King.
Look at his face. Oh, my God.
1334
01:09:01,179 --> 01:09:03,765
Now, that sounded like me.It was you, Larry,
1335
01:09:03,931 --> 01:09:07,310
asking the headwaiter at Cafe des
Artistes could he seat you right away...
1336
01:09:07,393 --> 01:09:09,604
because you hadn't had
anything to eat since morning.
1337
01:09:09,687 --> 01:09:13,149
Well, how'd... How did you...
We recorded it off your cell phone.
1338
01:09:14,275 --> 01:09:16,444
Now I would like to read
a letter from the man
1339
01:09:16,527 --> 01:09:18,780
who did the same thing
to Governor Stanton.
1340
01:09:19,155 --> 01:09:21,574
"To whom it may concern,
1341
01:09:21,741 --> 01:09:24,160
"I am an employee
of the Flash.
1342
01:09:24,327 --> 01:09:27,121
"I admit taking innocent statements
of Governor Jack Stanton...
1343
01:09:27,205 --> 01:09:29,832
"off his cellular phone,
editing them...
1344
01:09:29,916 --> 01:09:34,087
"and paying Cashmere McLeod to pretend
she was having a conversation with him.
1345
01:09:34,253 --> 01:09:37,256
"I did this for my own gain
and advancement.
1346
01:09:37,590 --> 01:09:41,010
"I confess it now because I can
no longer live with the fear
1347
01:09:41,094 --> 01:09:43,513
"that I may deprive
the American people
1348
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:45,890
"of a great man."
1349
01:09:47,642 --> 01:09:50,061
And it's signed: "Randy
Culligan, Attorney at Law."
1350
01:09:50,144 --> 01:09:53,189
Don't you think the media owes
Governor Stanton an apology?
1351
01:09:53,356 --> 01:09:58,111
I mean, spreading this kind of
unsubstantiated garbage... Good, very good.
1352
01:09:58,194 --> 01:10:00,697
It should be harder than this
to smear an innocent man.
1353
01:10:00,863 --> 01:10:03,032
RICHARD: There you go, Daisy.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
1354
01:10:03,116 --> 01:10:06,035
We'll be right back with your phone calls.
Don't go away. (CHEERING, APPLAUDING)
1355
01:10:06,119 --> 01:10:07,578
How'd you get my cellular?
1356
01:10:08,913 --> 01:10:12,417
Henry, well done. She was.
. . (PHONE RINGING)
1357
01:10:13,334 --> 01:10:14,502
She was so great!
1358
01:10:14,585 --> 01:10:16,921
(SONG PLAYING) Still the one
that I wouldn't switch
1359
01:10:17,004 --> 01:10:20,174
(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING) Still
the one that I wouldn't switch
1360
01:10:20,258 --> 01:10:25,012
We're still having fun and you're
still the one There's people out there.
1361
01:10:25,096 --> 01:10:30,059
(SHOUTING, HOLLERING) You are
still the one that makes me shout
1362
01:10:30,143 --> 01:10:33,312
Still the one
that I dream about
1363
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:37,817
We're still having fun
and you're still the one
1364
01:10:39,068 --> 01:10:42,029
Whoo, whoo
Still the one
1365
01:10:43,030 --> 01:10:45,324
Yeah, still the one
1366
01:10:45,408 --> 01:10:47,493
I want to thank you all
for stickin' with us
1367
01:10:47,577 --> 01:10:49,328
and workin' so hard
through all this.
1368
01:10:49,495 --> 01:10:53,583
W-We don't have much time,
but with your help and the grace of God,
1369
01:10:53,666 --> 01:10:56,753
we will get done what
needs to get done. Yes.
1370
01:10:56,836 --> 01:10:59,005
You know, it's been
pretty awful, but...
1371
01:10:59,172 --> 01:11:02,258
we're still here!
(CHEERING, HOLLERING)
1372
01:11:10,892 --> 01:11:13,352
Well, I know it would be easy
to get a lot of laughs tonight
1373
01:11:13,519 --> 01:11:17,315
by doing some cheap blow-dry
jokes, so I'll just get started.
1374
01:11:17,523 --> 01:11:18,941
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
1375
01:11:19,066 --> 01:11:22,153
It all started innocently
enough for Governor Stanton.
1376
01:11:22,236 --> 01:11:26,324
He walked in one day and he asked
for a little trim. (LAUGHTER)
1377
01:11:26,491 --> 01:11:29,327
And some longer bangs.
SUSAN: Hmm.
1378
01:11:30,787 --> 01:11:32,830
They don't care
about the fine points.
1379
01:11:33,706 --> 01:11:35,917
No. It would ruin
the punch line.
1380
01:11:36,417 --> 01:11:39,420
Does anyone ever survive
one of these feeding frenzies?
1381
01:11:39,504 --> 01:11:41,839
Well, if they've been
around a while, maybe.
1382
01:11:41,923 --> 01:11:43,382
But this is the first thing
1383
01:11:43,466 --> 01:11:45,051
most people will hear
about Jack Stanton,
1384
01:11:45,134 --> 01:11:46,928
and you've got to figure
he's history.
1385
01:11:47,678 --> 01:11:51,390
Fuckin' idiot! God. . . damn.
. . her! (SUSAN CHUCKLING)

Folks, as the head of the
Portsmouth Democratic Party,
1392
01:12:19,293 --> 01:12:21,838
it's my pleasure
to introduce to you
1393
01:12:22,004 --> 01:12:24,924
one of the South's
most progressive governors,
1394
01:12:25,091 --> 01:12:26,759
and the husband
of one of the best little

to ever put on waders.
1396
01:12:28,928 --> 01:12:31,389
Please welcome
Governor Jack Stanton !

(CROWD CHEERING, WHISTLING)

kind introduction, Tommy,

and, uh, thank you
for the fish. CHUCKLING)
1400
01:12:49,115 --> 01:12:52,702
Yeah, he gave me a big
slab-sided, white-bellied fella.
1401
01:12:52,785 --> 01:12:54,662
Looked a lot like me.
(LAUGHING)
1402
01:12:54,829 --> 01:12:56,622
Put it right on the grill
and gave it some heat,

01:12:56,789 --> 01:12:59,458
kinda like they're doing to me now too.
(APPLAUDING, MURMURING)

I want. . . I want to thank you
for comin' out tonight.
1405
01:13:02,420 --> 01:13:05,256
I know how hard you work and how
little time you have to rest.
1406
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,134
Some of us got more time than we'd like.
(AUDIENCE MURMURING)
1407
01:13:08,217 --> 01:13:10,636
JACK: Right. Right.
I understand.
1408
01:13:10,803 --> 01:13:14,307
In fact, since this factory closed,
how many of you have found work?
1409
01:13:14,765 --> 01:13:16,309
Let me see a show of hands.
1410
01:13:17,393 --> 01:13:18,978
Right. Right.
1411
01:13:19,145 --> 01:13:21,355
And how many of you work jobs
that just pay the rent
1412
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:22,982
no matter how many hours
you put in?
1413
01:13:24,317 --> 01:13:28,029
I see. My mama worked jobs
like that after my daddy died.
1414
01:13:28,195 --> 01:13:32,825
I remember her comin' home from work
just bone-weary. You know what I mean.
1415
01:13:32,992 --> 01:13:36,495
And I-I know she wanted to play
with me and ask me about school.
1416
01:13:36,662 --> 01:13:38,581
But sometimes you're just
too tired to do anything...
1417
01:13:38,664 --> 01:13:40,958
but heat up a TV dinner and
blob out in front of the tube.
1418
01:13:41,125 --> 01:13:44,170
You got that one right.
JACK: There you go.
1419
01:13:44,337 --> 01:13:47,340
And I don't have to tell you how
hard it is to be lookin' for work.
1420
01:13:47,506 --> 01:13:50,468
Hey, I don't have to tell you
anything about hard times.
1421
01:13:50,635 --> 01:13:52,261
So you know
what I'm gonna do?
1422
01:13:52,428 --> 01:13:55,973
I'm gonna do something really outrageous.
I'm gonna tell the truth.
1423
01:13:56,223 --> 01:13:59,060
(LAUGHING, APPLAUDING)
1424
01:13:59,226 --> 01:14:01,020
I know what you're thinkin'.
1425
01:14:01,187 --> 01:14:03,481
You're thinkin' he must really
be desperate to do that,
1426
01:14:03,606 --> 01:14:06,984
but if you had to swallow
enough sh. . . garbage...
1427
01:14:07,068 --> 01:14:09,445
You can say shit.
We're X-rated.
1428
01:14:10,863 --> 01:14:13,491
Yeah, me too, if you believe
what you read in the paper.
1429
01:14:21,332 --> 01:14:23,501
Okay. All right.
1430
01:14:23,876 --> 01:14:25,544
Here's the truth.
1431
01:14:25,628 --> 01:14:27,755
No politician can
reopen this factory,
1432
01:14:27,922 --> 01:14:31,509
or bring back the shipyard jobs
or make your union strong again.
1433
01:14:31,676 --> 01:14:34,595
No politician can make it be
the way it used to be,
1434
01:14:34,762 --> 01:14:38,391
because we're living in a new world
now, a world without economic borders.
1435
01:14:38,557 --> 01:14:42,144
A guy can push a button in New York
and move a billion dollars to Tokyo.
1436
01:14:42,645 --> 01:14:45,982
And in that world, muscle jobs
go where muscle labor is cheap,
1437
01:14:46,065 --> 01:14:47,566
and that is not here.
1438
01:14:48,943 --> 01:14:52,321
So if you want to compete, you're gonna
have to exercise a different set of muscles
1439
01:14:52,405 --> 01:14:53,698
the one between your ears.
1440
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:57,326
He's lost 'em. Fuck 'em.
He's got me.
1441
01:14:57,410 --> 01:14:59,745
Now, this whole country's gonna
have to go back to school.
1442
01:14:59,912 --> 01:15:02,415
We're gonna have to get
smarter, learn new skills.
1443
01:15:02,581 --> 01:15:05,042
And I will make you this deal:
I will work hard for you.
1444
01:15:05,126 --> 01:15:06,961
I will wake up every morning
thinkin' about you.
1445
01:15:07,044 --> 01:15:09,839
I will fight, sweat and bleed to
get the money to make education
1446
01:15:10,006 --> 01:15:12,091
a lifetime thing
in this country,
1447
01:15:12,174 --> 01:15:14,427
to give you the support
you need to move up.
1448
01:15:15,428 --> 01:15:19,265
But you have got to do the
heavy lifting your own selves.
1449
01:15:20,307 --> 01:15:22,810
Now, you know I've taken a
lot of hits in this campaign.
1450
01:15:23,352 --> 01:15:24,687
But you know
what that means?
1451
01:15:24,770 --> 01:15:27,189
It means someone thinks
that you're only interested
1452
01:15:27,273 --> 01:15:30,067
in the kind of garbage that
they've been throwin' at me.
1453
01:15:30,317 --> 01:15:34,113
So Tuesday, when you go to cast your
vote, you think about that.
1454
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,407
You think about what
you're really interested in,
1455
01:15:36,490 --> 01:15:39,118
and then pick your candidate.
1456
01:15:39,285 --> 01:15:41,537
Yeah !

I don't think I'll be able
to take it if he loses.
1459
01:16:03,100 --> 01:16:06,187
If he does lose,
maybe we want to go away for a while.

gotten emotionally involved.

MAN: It's primary day in New Hampshire
where the polls are still open.
1471
01:16:51,816 --> 01:16:54,193
Harris is a serious man and
has serious things to say
1472
01:16:54,276 --> 01:16:55,903
about America's
economic future.
1473
01:16:55,986 --> 01:16:57,655
People of this country
recognize that,
1474
01:16:57,738 --> 01:16:59,990
and that's why we're
going to see upsets today.
1475
01:17:00,157 --> 01:17:02,201
But the biggest upset has
got to be for Jack Stanton.
1476
01:17:02,284 --> 01:17:06,038
Stanton, like George Romney,
Ed Muskie, Gary Hart before him,
1477
01:17:06,122 --> 01:17:08,207
flamed for an instant
then burned out.

He's just stirring
the ashes now.
1479
01:17:10,751 --> 01:17:13,212
I can't understand
why we don't just quit.

I mean, don't we know
we're over?
1482
01:17:17,550 --> 01:17:20,136
An entire industry
of political experts
1483
01:17:20,302 --> 01:17:22,680
has explained
why we're dead.

walking around?

MAN : The fact is Jack... WOMAN : if
it rains across the upper Midwest.
1486
01:17:29,353 --> 01:17:31,897
And with 15%
of the vote in,
1487
01:17:32,064 --> 01:17:36,026
we are predicting Lawrence
Harris to win in New Hampshire.
1488
01:17:36,193 --> 01:17:39,989
Shit, that ain't nothin'.
It's his own state. He's got to win here.
1489
01:17:40,906 --> 01:17:43,909
MAN 2: Governor Jack Stanton,
who is still campaigning, by the way,
1490
01:17:44,034 --> 01:17:45,619
has obviously decided to fight
1491
01:17:45,703 --> 01:17:46,745
right down to the wire,
1492
01:17:46,871 --> 01:17:50,499
and is in downtown Manchester
on this cold and rainy night,
1493
01:17:50,583 --> 01:17:52,501
fighting to pick up
any last-minute votes.
1494
01:17:52,668 --> 01:17:55,588
This has been his technique all
along, and many are surprised
1495
01:17:55,754 --> 01:17:57,923
just how effective
it has been.
1496
01:17:58,007 --> 01:18:01,844
According to exit polls, an overwhelming
number of Stanton voters say...
1497
01:18:01,927 --> 01:18:05,306
the deciding factor for them was
that they actually met the governor.
1498
01:18:05,472 --> 01:18:08,058
So we predict Governor
Jack Stanton a close second
1499
01:18:08,225 --> 01:18:11,562
to Lawrence Harris, with Nilson and
Martin a distant third and fourth.
1500

I'll be a son of a bitch !
Don't be discouraged. We could still win !

Are you crazy?
Didn't you hear?
1502
01:18:18,277 --> 01:18:21,447

If we could just
get rid of Harris.
1507
01:18:38,422 --> 01:18:40,382
Harris'll probably
take Colorado.
1508
01:18:40,549 --> 01:18:43,344
He could take Florida, too,
unless you start hitting him.
1509
01:18:43,510 --> 01:18:46,764
I'll get Florida. It's the South.
But it's Jewish.

You got to fire off a silver
bullet in Florida, Jack.
1511

Without Harris
we have the field.
1512
01:18:51,685 --> 01:18:54,063
No. Negative'll boomerang.
I know it. Huh?
1513

I'm not goin' negative.

and used political connections to
cover up his antiwar arrest record.

I believe in real solutions
and telling the truth.

and himself.

doing here?

talk face-to-face with a brother

he's like a brother.

Well, what can I
do for ya?

The governor
is very concerned

about this situation
with your daughter.
1596
01:24:07,709 --> 01:24:09,253
He'd like
to see it resolved.
1597
01:24:11,755 --> 01:24:13,131
As I'm sure you would.
1598
01:24:14,383 --> 01:24:17,719
He would like her to have an
amniocentesis as soon as possible
1599
01:24:17,803 --> 01:24:20,389
so that paternity can be
positively established.
1600

A what? It's a medical procedure
performed in a hospital.
1601
01:24:26,478 --> 01:24:28,647
A needle is inserted
into the abdomen.
1602
01:24:28,814 --> 01:24:31,733
Amniotic fluid is drawn
from your daughter's womb.
1603
01:24:31,900 --> 01:24:34,278
Genetic material is analyzed.
It can then be compared
1604
01:24:34,403 --> 01:24:36,905
with the governor's blood to
determine whether he is the father.
1605
01:24:36,989 --> 01:24:38,865
I don't understand.
It's normally used to determine
1606
01:24:38,991 --> 01:24:43,120
the health of the fetus, and that's
what you'll tell them at Mercy Hospital.
1607
01:24:43,328 --> 01:24:46,873
That you want to make sure
that the baby's healthy.
1608
01:24:47,666 --> 01:24:49,001

procedure, Willie.

in her belly?

to destroy Governor Stanton.

He doesn't believe you're one of
them, but he can't allow this.
1613

You can't allow this.

She's a good girl.
1618
01:25:11,064 --> 01:25:13,400
HOWARD: Oh, I'm sure she is.
1619
01:25:14,526 --> 01:25:16,111
And the governor wants to do
everything possible
1620
01:25:16,194 --> 01:25:18,780
to help her, and you,
through this time.
1621
01:25:18,905 --> 01:25:20,991
He is prepared to be
very generous.
1622
01:25:21,908 --> 01:25:24,536
He will help her
provide for the baby.
1623
01:25:25,954 --> 01:25:29,499
Now, he'll do this because he
believes that you are his friend.
1624
01:25:33,337 --> 01:25:35,422
But we must resolve this.
1625
01:25:35,505 --> 01:25:37,674
We must determine
to everyone's satisfaction
1626
01:25:37,758 --> 01:25:39,926
that he is not
the father of that child.
1627
01:25:43,055 --> 01:25:44,681
I'm sure that
you, uh...
1628
01:25:46,892 --> 01:25:48,560
you know,
you understand...
1629
01:25:50,562 --> 01:25:51,897
our position.
1630
01:25:59,488 --> 01:26:00,697
Pull over.
1631
01:26:02,324 --> 01:26:03,408
Pull over.
1632
01:26:22,344 --> 01:26:24,137
Hello, folks.
I'm Izzy Rosenblatt,
1633
01:26:24,221 --> 01:26:26,139
and I'm here
with Schmooze for Jews.
1634
01:26:26,723 --> 01:26:29,518
And my guest today is
presidential nominee...
1635
01:26:29,643 --> 01:26:32,229
and J. F. K. look-alike,
Governor Jack Stanton.
1636
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:34,064
Hi, Izzy.
Hi, Jack.
1637
01:26:34,147 --> 01:26:38,485
Jack, when we were talking before, you
were telling me that your mama liked Vegas.
1638
01:26:38,694 --> 01:26:41,697
As a tip to our listeners,
when she goes there, where does she stay?
1639
01:26:41,780 --> 01:26:44,491
Which hotel?
Well, she's pretty loyal to the MGM Grand.
1640
01:26:44,741 --> 01:26:47,411
MGM Grand. Listen up,
you Vegas fans.
1641
01:26:47,744 --> 01:26:50,372
And, and who is her favorite act there?
Is it Wayne Newton?
1642
01:26:50,664 --> 01:26:54,418
Absolutely. Everybody loves Wayne Newton.
He's marvelous.
1643
01:26:54,501 --> 01:26:57,963
He was once a guest on this show.
That was many, many years ago.
1644
01:26:58,755 --> 01:27:02,175
Now, to satisfy the
curiosity of our Vegas fans,
1645
01:27:02,884 --> 01:27:05,846
when your mother plays blackjack,
where does she stand pat?
1646
01:27:05,929 --> 01:27:08,890
Is it 16?
Well, she is a bit of a gambler.
1647
01:27:09,224 --> 01:27:12,060
Uh, but sometimes she'll go up to 17.
Oh, my.
1648
01:27:12,477 --> 01:27:17,065
Uh, excuse me, Governor, but I'm told
we have Senator Harris on the phone.
1649
01:27:17,524 --> 01:27:20,819
Uh, hello. This is indeed an honor.
HARRIS: Thank you.
1650
01:27:21,403 --> 01:27:23,238
We were just talking
with Governor Stanton
1651
01:27:23,321 --> 01:27:25,157
about how his mother
loves Las Vegas.
1652
01:27:25,323 --> 01:27:29,077
I was wondering, Senator, does your
mother have a favorite vacation spot?
1653
01:27:29,244 --> 01:27:33,957
My mother's dead. Oh. I'm sorry.
1654
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:38,462
Jack Stanton should be ashamed of the way
he's scaring other elderly people down here.
1655
01:27:38,545 --> 01:27:41,298
You mean about going up to 17?
What?
1656
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:43,175
I'm not following you.
1657
01:27:43,258 --> 01:27:46,052
He's telling people I'm going to
cut their Social Security and...
1658
01:27:46,762 --> 01:27:48,889
It's, uh. . . Come on, Larry.
It's part of your book.
1659
01:27:48,972 --> 01:27:51,683
Everyone knows what you're doing down
here, the sleazy politics you're playing!
1660
01:27:51,767 --> 01:27:54,978
Is it okay if I get a word in here?
Go ahead. Be my guest.
1661
01:27:55,145 --> 01:27:57,522
What am I saying?
You are my guest! (CHUCKLING)
1662
01:27:58,106 --> 01:28:02,652
Larry, I'm lookin' at your campaign
book here. Page 18, paragraph 3.
1663
01:28:03,069 --> 01:28:07,741
What does it mean when you say you want to
study a freeze of cost-of-living adjustments?
1664
01:28:07,991 --> 01:28:10,118
Ah. That's only
one possibility.
1665
01:28:10,285 --> 01:28:13,371
Uh, we might want to rework
how they're calculated.
1666
01:28:13,455 --> 01:28:15,457
I can tell you,
cost-of-living adjustments
1667
01:28:15,540 --> 01:28:17,501
are calculated
to keep up with inflation.
1668
01:28:17,751 --> 01:28:19,711
But I guess you don't think
that's such a good idea.
1669
01:28:19,878 --> 01:28:22,964
Now, wait a minute! I didn't say that.
It's right here in your book.
1670
01:28:23,131 --> 01:28:25,467
L-I said it has to be studied.
Who knows?
1671
01:28:25,634 --> 01:28:29,137
We might even want to spend more
on cost-of-living adjustments.
1672
01:28:29,262 --> 01:28:32,974
Tell me, Senator, who is
your favorite comedian?
1673
01:28:33,058 --> 01:28:35,602
What? I'm tellin' the folks
what my positions are.
1674
01:28:35,727 --> 01:28:36,728
You're the one here that...
1675
01:28:36,812 --> 01:28:38,563
No, no, no. You're
distorting my positions.
1676
01:28:38,647 --> 01:28:40,857
This is the reason no one
trusts the political process!
1677
01:28:40,941 --> 01:28:42,359
You just can't defend
your positions.
1678
01:28:42,442 --> 01:28:43,610
Not when you play these games.
1679
01:28:43,693 --> 01:28:46,613
Ladies and gentlemen, we just can't
afford to keep spending money like this.
1680
01:28:46,696 --> 01:28:48,740
You just said
you might want to spend more
1681
01:28:48,824 --> 01:28:50,033
on cost-of-living adjustments.
1682
01:28:50,116 --> 01:28:51,701
Larry,
I think you're confused.
1683
01:28:51,785 --> 01:28:54,663
No, no, no, no. (COUGHING)

Excuse me.

1686
01:29:02,587 --> 01:29:04,840
What happened?
Did he hang up or. . . or what?
1687
01:29:05,340 --> 01:29:07,092
Uh, yes. Yes, yes.
1688
01:29:07,259 --> 01:29:11,429
Well, uh, so, tell me, Governor,
who's your favorite comedian?
1689
01:29:11,805 --> 01:29:15,267
The phones haven't stopped ringing !
It was fantastic, a rout.
1690
01:29:15,433 --> 01:29:18,228
We couldn't believe it when we
heard Harris on the phone, could we?
1691
01:29:18,311 --> 01:29:21,398
No, no. We couldn't. He's fucked now.
We're gonna walk away with Florida.
1692
01:29:21,731 --> 01:29:25,694
Quick! Turn on CNN.
Whoa, whoa. It's on. Shh.
1693
01:29:25,861 --> 01:29:28,864
ANNOUNCER ON TV: According to sources,
Senator Harris suffered two heart attacks,
1694
01:29:29,239 --> 01:29:33,243
the first one immediately after a
phone call with Governor Jack Stanton
1695
01:29:33,326 --> 01:29:35,036
during a Florida
radio talk show.
1696
01:29:36,037 --> 01:29:39,416
Jesus. Oh, shit.
We heard him having it.
1697
01:29:39,624 --> 01:29:43,253
...he remains in a coma.
His condition is listed as critical.
1698
01:29:43,420 --> 01:29:48,091
Hospital sources in Florida will not confirm
the senator's condition at this point.
1699
01:29:48,633 --> 01:29:52,512
It's difficult to say exactly what
effect this will have on the campaign.
1700

MAN 2: We don't know the damage to
Senator Harris's heart muscle yet.
1701
01:29:56,725 --> 01:30:01,146
His doctors have only issued general
bulletins regarding his condition.
1702
01:30:01,229 --> 01:30:03,273
Because after such a massive
heart attack...
1703
01:30:03,648 --> 01:30:05,567
The vote's in two days.
What do we do?
1704
01:30:07,193 --> 01:30:10,572
We go back to Mammoth Falls, and Daisy
stays and pulls the negative ads.
1705
01:30:11,156 --> 01:30:13,116
Jack, I understand how you feel.
But couldn't we respect...
1706
01:30:13,408 --> 01:30:15,368
We go back to Mammoth Falls.

I could have been gracious.
It would have been smarter.
1714
01:30:34,763 --> 01:30:37,891
Well, I'm sorry. The man cuts
a vicious negative ad,
1715
01:30:38,058 --> 01:30:39,684
then he ambushes you
in a talk show
1716
01:30:39,768 --> 01:30:41,353
and he accuses you
of sleazy politics.
1717
01:30:41,478 --> 01:30:44,564
You're supposed to be gracious? Wha.

for the presidency.

Well, you know what I mean.

our good friend
1776

former governor Fred Picker of
Florida to carry on for us. (GROANING)

questions in a meaningful,
1778

Give her a break.

and she thinks Jack did it.
1781
01:34:10,353 --> 01:34:13,857
Now let me turn this campaign
over to Governor Picker.
1782
01:34:14,023 --> 01:34:15,525

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)
1784
01:34:18,319 --> 01:34:20,572
I hope you'll excuse me.
This is a rather emotional time.
1785
01:34:20,738 --> 01:34:23,867
Mr... Governor Picker,
do you think you can win the nomination?
1786
01:34:24,117 --> 01:34:27,036
Well, I'm, uh, I'm not...
1787
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:29,289
out to win the nomination.
1788
01:34:29,372 --> 01:34:31,249
I-I'm out to
1789
01:34:31,332 --> 01:34:33,209
continue
what Senator Harris began.
1790
01:34:33,293 --> 01:34:37,338
I'm trying to give the American
people an honest choice on the issues.
1791
01:34:37,422 --> 01:34:39,007
REPORTER: But if you won
the nomination...
1792
01:34:39,174 --> 01:34:42,051
Uh, it's really premature
to talk about that right now.
1793
01:34:42,844 --> 01:34:45,096
I really haven't had
the time to think about it.
1794
01:34:46,014 --> 01:34:49,309
Now, what I have thought about
is the best way I can help
1795
01:34:49,475 --> 01:34:51,978
Senator Harris
in this campaign.
1796
01:34:53,354 --> 01:34:56,649
And as I know him as a man
of action rather than words,
1797
01:34:57,567 --> 01:35:01,154
the best action is
for me to go down
1798
01:35:01,529 --> 01:35:02,989
and donate a pint of blood,
1799
01:35:03,740 --> 01:35:05,742
because that's what
he really needs now.
1800
01:35:06,534 --> 01:35:09,245
If you folks would like to
come down and donate a pint,
1801
01:35:09,329 --> 01:35:11,372
I know Mrs. Harris
would certainly appreciate it.
1802

(GROANING)
1803
01:35:12,582 --> 01:35:15,627

thought of that blood thing.
1804
01:35:16,461 --> 01:35:18,963
Great.
Great goddamn move.
1805
01:35:19,464 --> 01:35:23,384
How do we treat this guy? How do we
run against him if he's not gonna run?
1806
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:25,470
Oh, shit, he'll run.
1807
01:35:25,553 --> 01:35:26,763
But till he announces it,
1808
01:35:26,846 --> 01:35:28,681
he'll be
the flavor of the week.
1809
01:35:28,848 --> 01:35:31,059
We'll just be patient
and wait till he comes out.

MAN: What kind of changes
can we expect in the campaign?
1811
01:35:35,396 --> 01:35:38,858
Lawrence Harris has made several
negative 30-second spots,
1812
01:35:39,025 --> 01:35:41,861
and his pollsters
have advised even more.
1813
01:35:42,362 --> 01:35:44,989
Will you keep going
in that direction? No.
1814
01:35:45,156 --> 01:35:47,075
I won't be doing
any spots,
1815
01:35:47,242 --> 01:35:50,745
and I won't be having any polls because
I'm not gonna be paying any pollsters.
1816
01:35:50,912 --> 01:35:52,622
I'm not gonna hire folks
1817
01:35:52,705 --> 01:35:55,291
to tell me what you're thinkin'
and how I can get at you.
1818
01:35:55,375 --> 01:35:59,295
Then what exactly are you gonna do?
I'm gonna talk straight.
1819
01:35:59,671 --> 01:36:01,923
Jesus Christ!
Who is this guy?
1820
01:36:02,090 --> 01:36:03,800
Well,
let's not panic.
1821
01:36:03,883 --> 01:36:05,260
He's as much as
admitted he's runnin',
1822
01:36:05,343 --> 01:36:08,054
so now we're gonna see some
tarnish on the golden image.

The media giveth and. . .
go fuck yourself.
1824
01:36:13,810 --> 01:36:17,272
Governor, why did you
quit politics in 1978?
1825
01:36:18,314 --> 01:36:20,066
Uh, there were a lot
of reasons, Charlie.
1826
01:36:20,233 --> 01:36:22,277
Uh, I had personal problems.
1827
01:36:22,902 --> 01:36:25,697
CHARLIE: I know this can't be
easy for you to talk about.
1828
01:36:25,863 --> 01:36:29,158
No, no, it's not,
but I guess...
1829
01:36:29,242 --> 01:36:31,244
it's part of the game now,
so I'll be candid.
1830
01:36:31,786 --> 01:36:34,580
You see, what happened was
I got too wrapped up
1831
01:36:34,664 --> 01:36:36,624
in the business
of being governor,
1832
01:36:36,791 --> 01:36:39,127
and I began
to neglect my family,
1833
01:36:39,294 --> 01:36:41,546
and my wife fell in love
with another man.
1834
01:36:42,630 --> 01:36:46,926
I quit in part to see if I could
salvage my marriage, but I couldn't.
1835
01:36:47,510 --> 01:36:49,429
So I just wanted to make sure
that my boys...
1836
01:36:49,595 --> 01:36:52,432
knew that they had two parents
that loved them very much.
1837
01:36:52,598 --> 01:36:56,144
And I think if you ask them they'll
tell you that we made it through okay.
1838
01:36:56,978 --> 01:37:00,940
They're in college now, and when Mrs.
Harris asked me to do this,
1839
01:37:01,107 --> 01:37:03,192
they were very, very
enthusiastic.
1840
01:37:03,359 --> 01:37:06,279
So I guess you could say that
I'm doing this for them too.
1841
01:37:06,446 --> 01:37:08,990
RICHARD: Awesome.
Best I've ever seen.
1842
01:37:10,325 --> 01:37:13,286
What do we do?
Well, now we panic.

it must be very difficult...

did you find out?

It wasn't hard.
Loretta talked to a schoolmate.
1848
01:37:28,009 --> 01:37:31,220
A Current Affair just offered
the McCollisters 250,000,
1849
01:37:31,304 --> 01:37:33,806
and Fat Willie threw 'em off the
property and threatened to call the cops.
1850
01:37:34,223 --> 01:37:37,435
I had to stash 'em in another county.
I could fuckin' kill Jack.
1851
01:37:37,518 --> 01:37:40,855
He says he's not the father.
Well, he's probably not.

about you and the black girl...

blood to disprove the charge,

and we're just waitin'
for the results?
1858
01:37:59,415 --> 01:38:00,875
That's too defensive.
1859
01:38:00,958 --> 01:38:02,293
RICHARD:
I don't like the contrast
1860
01:38:02,418 --> 01:38:04,295
between why you gave blood
and why Picker gave blood.
1861
01:38:04,379 --> 01:38:07,382
I agree. But it might be a good
idea to get on some TV shows
1862
01:38:07,465 --> 01:38:09,467
like Montel and Geraldo.
1863

annoying little shreds of dignity

at all? What is the use?

a little crazy.

And maybe that's part of our
greatness, part of our freedom.

and calm down,

You know, the world is getting
more and more complicated.
1917

And politicians have to explain
things to you in simpler terms
1918

oversimplified explanations

what it's like: professional wrestlin'.

and it's fake,

mean anything.

But it seems it's the only way we
know how to keep you all riled up.
1932
01:42:54,460 --> 01:42:56,504
So what I want to do
with this campaign
1933
01:42:56,587 --> 01:42:59,215
is kind of
quiet things down...
1934
01:42:59,382 --> 01:43:01,842
and start having
a conversation...
1935
01:43:03,219 --> 01:43:07,556
about what sort of country we want
this to be in the next century.
1936
01:43:09,517 --> 01:43:13,896
And I want Governor Stanton to know
that I welcome him to this conversation.
1937
01:43:14,063 --> 01:43:15,064
Well, okay.
1938
01:43:15,147 --> 01:43:17,858
This show is all yours.
You gentlemen know the rules.
1939
01:43:17,942 --> 01:43:20,528
No eye-gouging,
no chair-tossing.
1940
01:43:20,611 --> 01:43:22,697
Three knockdowns,
I come in to stop the bout.
1941
01:43:23,072 --> 01:43:26,784
I hope he don't lose it. Geraldo's gonna
go after him, and Picker's very smooth.
1942
01:43:26,951 --> 01:43:29,745
He won't lose it. Frankly, folks,
he doesn't have anything to lose.
1943
01:43:29,912 --> 01:43:32,832
GERALDO: ...overshadows
your entire campaign.
1944
01:43:32,998 --> 01:43:35,584
ls there any truth,
any truth whatsoever, sir,
1945
01:43:35,751 --> 01:43:40,339
to the awful allegation that you are
the father of a child by a teenage girl?
1946
01:43:40,673 --> 01:43:43,551
Oh, shit! No, it's good.
It's out there.
1947
01:43:43,718 --> 01:43:45,970
Now, if Jack just keeps
the answer short...
1948
01:43:46,137 --> 01:43:48,264
JACK: ...that she's been
influenced by all the publicity...
1949
01:43:48,347 --> 01:43:50,182
surrounding the phony
Cashmere McLeod tapes.
1950
01:43:50,349 --> 01:43:53,102
Now, the family involved are good people.
They're friends of mine.
1951
01:43:53,310 --> 01:43:56,564
I spoke with the father just before
they went to an undisclosed location,
1952
01:43:57,064 --> 01:43:59,191
and he apologized for
causing me so much trouble.
1953
01:43:59,275 --> 01:44:02,486
I think that's all we need to know, Jack.
Don't you, folks?
1954
01:44:03,112 --> 01:44:05,114
(APPLAUSE)
Jesus Christ.
1955
01:44:05,197 --> 01:44:07,408
Picker actually saved him.
I've never seen that before.
1956
01:44:07,533 --> 01:44:10,453
That's incredible.
Maybe this is the first time.
1957
01:44:10,578 --> 01:44:12,496
Maybe Picker's an original,
the real thing.
1958
01:44:13,164 --> 01:44:16,959
You know your problem, Hotchkiss?
It's you got gallopin' T. B.
1959
01:44:17,418 --> 01:44:20,838
You don't mean tuberculosis, right?
I mean true-believer-ism.
1960
01:44:21,213 --> 01:44:23,215
You talk like a pro,
you act like a pro,
1961
01:44:23,382 --> 01:44:25,468
but inside,
you're just like Libby,
1962
01:44:25,634 --> 01:44:28,471
who actually goes crazy when her
candidate turns out not to be
1963
01:44:28,554 --> 01:44:30,765
the rock her church
was built on.
1964
01:44:31,265 --> 01:44:33,350
Do you know in '78 she actually
wore a button that said,
1965
01:44:33,434 --> 01:44:34,685
"I'm a Picker Person"...
1966
01:44:35,019 --> 01:44:37,313
and nose-dived when
he quit the race?
1967
01:44:37,688 --> 01:44:40,816
Didn't even try to get the goods on
why he was. . . Well, he told us why.
1968
01:44:42,067 --> 01:44:45,237
What? He wanted
to stay home with his kids?
1969
01:44:45,362 --> 01:44:48,491
"I'd rather be dad than
president?" Gimme a fuckin' break.
1970
01:44:49,867 --> 01:44:53,370
The race among Democratic
contenders might be a toss-up.
1971
01:44:53,537 --> 01:44:57,625
Polls taken after the two men
appeared on the Geraldo show indicate
1972
01:44:57,750 --> 01:45:00,628
that Governor Picker still has
a substantial lead,
1973
01:45:00,836 --> 01:45:04,882
but there has been a remarkable
five-percent increase for Governor Stanton.
1974
01:45:05,466 --> 01:45:06,675
Fuckin' Norman Asher.
1975
01:45:06,801 --> 01:45:09,345
NEWSREADER: (ON TV) ... Stanton's
appearance is attributed by many...
1976
01:45:09,637 --> 01:45:10,888
Thank you.
1977
01:45:11,847 --> 01:45:15,351
(SIGHS) Hey,
I'm just takin' a leave of absence.
1978
01:45:15,434 --> 01:45:17,978
I can't stick around and take
orders from Norman Asher.
1979
01:45:18,646 --> 01:45:20,397
We're from different parts
of the jungle.
1980
01:45:20,815 --> 01:45:23,317
Let him have his day.
This thing's about gone anyway.
1981
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:25,903
I can't believe this.
Why?
1982
01:45:26,654 --> 01:45:29,031
Henry, I've been through
this shit a hundred times.
1983
01:45:29,406 --> 01:45:32,493
That's what these guys do.
They love you, and they stop lovin' ya.
1984
01:45:32,827 --> 01:45:34,662
But Stanton's different.
1985
01:45:35,704 --> 01:45:38,207
Yeah, he is different.
He was worth it.
1986
01:45:39,792 --> 01:45:41,919
You take care
of your ass, Hotchkiss.
1987
01:45:47,508 --> 01:45:48,843
I'll see you
next time.
1988
01:45:59,019 --> 01:46:01,939
NORMAN: I'm very sorry about
losing Daisy and Richard.
1989
01:46:02,106 --> 01:46:04,275
But we're all pros.
We know these things happen.
1990
01:46:04,900 --> 01:46:06,610
I wanna talk
about Picker,
1991
01:46:07,486 --> 01:46:09,947
something Richard said
about Picker.
1992
01:46:10,656 --> 01:46:12,116
I wanna find out...
1993
01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:15,953
why did Picker quit
in '78?
1994
01:46:21,333 --> 01:46:23,419
LIBBY: The only dirt I
ever heard about Picker...
1995
01:46:23,586 --> 01:46:26,380
was a condo development
named Clearwater Estates
1996
01:46:26,463 --> 01:46:30,175
where the state matched money for the
county to build a connecting road.
1997
01:46:31,176 --> 01:46:32,177
JACK: And?
1998
01:46:33,178 --> 01:46:34,638
Nothing specific.
1999
01:46:35,222 --> 01:46:38,559
The project was being developed
by a guy named Edgardo Reyes.
2000
01:46:38,726 --> 01:46:42,730
Edgardo Reyes is the brother
of Antonia Reyes, who is...
2001
01:46:42,855 --> 01:46:45,983
Picker's former wife.
Who else knows about this?
2002
01:46:46,233 --> 01:46:48,736
Anyone follow it up?
Nope.
2003
01:46:49,486 --> 01:46:52,406
JACK: Well, Lib, let's go.
2004
01:46:54,867 --> 01:46:55,868
What?
2005
01:46:59,872 --> 01:47:01,999
(CHUCKLES) What?
LIBBY: I'm tryin' to decide.
2006
01:47:02,166 --> 01:47:06,337
Decide what? Whether I wanna do
this for ya, you stupid shit.
2007
01:47:07,212 --> 01:47:09,840
I bust dust. I protect ya.
I don't do in the opponent.
2008
01:47:10,299 --> 01:47:12,259
What the fuck
is the difference?
2009
01:47:12,509 --> 01:47:14,595
All the difference
in the world.
2010
01:47:14,678 --> 01:47:16,388
All the moral difference
in the world.
2011
01:47:16,931 --> 01:47:20,017
I'm not too interested in
tearin' ol' Freddy Picker down.
2012
01:47:20,225 --> 01:47:23,604
And if he's bent, if he's a crook?
It'll out.
2013
01:47:23,771 --> 01:47:27,650
But when? Say he wins the
nomination, and then it comes out.
2014
01:47:27,775 --> 01:47:30,361
Look at this.
Look at this.
2015
01:47:33,197 --> 01:47:35,616
The results of the blood test
Dr. Beauregard gave me.
2016
01:47:36,492 --> 01:47:37,910
Congratulations.
2017
01:47:38,327 --> 01:47:41,246
I'm sure this'll help.
JACK: But it won't.
2018
01:47:41,455 --> 01:47:45,793
Libby, honey, you know it. It won't matter
that my blood doesn't match Loretta's baby.
2019
01:47:46,001 --> 01:47:48,337
It won't matter
that I can't be the father.
2020
01:47:48,879 --> 01:47:51,256
The only way it would matter
is if I were the father,
2021
01:47:51,465 --> 01:47:53,509
because guilty is
what's interesting.
2022
01:47:53,634 --> 01:47:56,929
Am I supposed to live by these rules and
let Picker slide in on a special pass
2023
01:47:57,054 --> 01:47:59,390
because you were a Picker
person in the '70s?
2024
01:47:59,515 --> 01:48:02,726
You mean "and justice for all"?
That's a stupid fuckin' argument.
2025
01:48:02,851 --> 01:48:07,064
Okay, but this isn't. Picker could
be guilty of fraud or a tax swindle.
2026
01:48:07,147 --> 01:48:10,693
If he used influence to help his
brother-in-law, he's not fit to be president.
2027
01:48:11,652 --> 01:48:13,529
He could be a real shit.
2028
01:48:14,738 --> 01:48:18,492
Forget who you thought he was.
Find out who he really is.
2029
01:48:28,085 --> 01:48:29,169
Get packed.
2030
01:48:33,465 --> 01:48:35,551
We're in limbo now, Henry.
2031
01:48:37,553 --> 01:48:40,889
We are outside
the mainstream.
2032
01:48:42,599 --> 01:48:46,729
We are in purgatory.
We are lost.
2033
01:48:46,812 --> 01:48:49,314
HENRY: Libby,
if you don't shut up,
2034
01:48:49,565 --> 01:48:51,942
I'm gonna kill myself.
2035
01:48:52,192 --> 01:48:57,156
LIBBY: We are testing our
limits. We are in the pits.
2036
01:48:57,448 --> 01:48:59,825
'Member Limbo Rock?
'Member the words?
2037
01:49:00,367 --> 01:49:02,995
"How low can you go?"
2038
01:49:05,330 --> 01:49:07,332
(CHATTERING, LAUGHTER)
2039
01:49:08,709 --> 01:49:12,671
HENRY: Is there a reason we're meeting him
in neo-Bwana Land instead of his office?
2040
01:49:12,838 --> 01:49:15,174
Two reasons.
No recordin' devices.
2041
01:49:15,340 --> 01:49:18,886
And I've always wanted to see this hotel.
Hmm. Yeah.
2042
01:49:19,470 --> 01:49:20,929
Yes, I had this business.
2043
01:49:21,013 --> 01:49:23,515
Yes, I hoped having the
governor as brother-in-law...
2044
01:49:23,599 --> 01:49:24,767
would be an advantage.
2045
01:49:25,726 --> 01:49:29,021
But Mr. Righteous
wouldn't cut me any slack.
2046
01:49:29,438 --> 01:49:31,690
We did Clearwater
straight up.
2047
01:49:34,109 --> 01:49:37,446
It would be God's little joke if they
nailed him for it anyway, wouldn't it?
2048
01:49:37,905 --> 01:49:41,700
Freddy didn't know you hired his
wife and brother to get to him?
2049
01:49:42,117 --> 01:49:44,787
Know? Absolutely not.
2050
01:49:46,038 --> 01:49:47,998
(SIGHS)
Thank you, Mr. Reyes.
2051
01:49:48,165 --> 01:49:51,168
My friend and I are very
grateful, more than we can say.
2052
01:49:51,335 --> 01:49:54,338
Know? What the fuck
did he know?
2053
01:49:54,421 --> 01:49:56,423
He was half-stoned
most of the time.
2054
01:49:57,674 --> 01:49:58,926
Stoned?
2055
01:50:01,053 --> 01:50:04,556
Oh, dear. I really said
something I shouldn't, didn't I?
2056
01:50:04,848 --> 01:50:06,850
Saint Freddy's staffers
don't like to hear that.
2057
01:50:08,310 --> 01:50:09,853
Stoned how?
2058
01:50:10,854 --> 01:50:13,440
(SINGING) Toot, toot,
tootsie good-bye
2059
01:50:14,900 --> 01:50:19,071
You two look disappointed. You didn't
know he was a fucking maricon cokehead?
2060
01:50:19,154 --> 01:50:22,866
Wait a minute. Coc. . .
Cocaine. He loved the shit.
2061
01:50:23,075 --> 01:50:26,954
Hell, we all loved the shit, but he's the
only one who's a candidate for sainthood.
2062
01:50:27,079 --> 01:50:29,915
I-I'm afraid that's
a little hard to buy.
2063
01:50:29,998 --> 01:50:34,002
I mean, it just doesn't fit.
REYES: Maybe not now.
2064
01:50:34,169 --> 01:50:38,590
Twenty years ago, almost everyone
was doing everything. Right, Libby?
2065
01:50:38,674 --> 01:50:42,302
But where would Freddy score? How could he
keep it quiet in the governor's mansion?
2066
01:50:42,469 --> 01:50:44,221
There was a guy.
2067
01:50:45,013 --> 01:50:49,017
There was a young guy.
Lorenzo Delgado.
2068
01:50:49,768 --> 01:50:51,728
Upper-class Cuban.
A lawyer.
2069
01:50:51,937 --> 01:50:56,108
He and the governor knew each other
socially, so it was perfectly all right.
2070
01:50:57,734 --> 01:51:02,030
The joke is, Delgado just got
out of prison,
2071
01:51:02,114 --> 01:51:04,867
and now lives in a
halfway house in Hialeah.
2072
01:51:04,950 --> 01:51:07,494
And Saint Freddy is about
to be president.
2073
01:51:08,662 --> 01:51:10,289
Yeah, that is a joke.
2074
01:51:10,539 --> 01:51:13,208
Must get a lot of laughs when
you tell it at dinner parties.
2075
01:51:13,876 --> 01:51:15,669
I don't talk about Freddy.
2076
01:51:15,961 --> 01:51:19,173
I'm talking to you 'cause
you're from his campaign.
2077
01:51:20,174 --> 01:51:21,466
It's just...
2078
01:51:22,968 --> 01:51:25,470
I'm not the only guy
in town knows this.
2079
01:51:26,638 --> 01:51:30,142
Ah, he should have never
gotten back into the game.
2080
01:51:30,642 --> 01:51:32,352
Now he'll go down.
2081
01:51:33,645 --> 01:51:37,274
This is America.
You can bank on it.
2082
01:51:46,366 --> 01:51:47,576
Lorenzo Delgado.
2083
01:51:48,410 --> 01:51:51,538
On the porch.
Through there.
2084
01:51:52,206 --> 01:51:53,624

Sit down.

01:52:21,985 --> 01:52:23,695
Are you
from the campaign?
2091
01:52:24,363 --> 01:52:25,781
I've been expecting you.
2092
01:52:27,199 --> 01:52:29,868
You can tell Freddy he has
nothing to fear from me.
2093
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:31,870
Nothing.
Understand?
2094
01:52:34,998 --> 01:52:37,000
This happened after him.
2095
01:52:39,544 --> 01:52:41,546
I fucked my brains out
in jail.
2096
01:52:41,672 --> 01:52:43,548
Not much else to do there.
2097
01:52:44,841 --> 01:52:49,805
There were so many boys who spent all
day in the gym working on their bodies.

(INHALES DEEPLY, EXHALES)
2100
01:52:59,564 --> 01:53:01,566
I like this porch.
2101
01:53:02,484 --> 01:53:05,404
I can't do it all the time.
It depends on the weather.
2102
01:53:07,114 --> 01:53:08,865
It's strange.
2103
01:53:09,324 --> 01:53:12,077
My body temperature is always
off one way or the other.
2104
01:53:12,202 --> 01:53:13,996
Too hot or too cold.
2105
01:53:14,955 --> 01:53:16,915
It's never just right.
2106
01:53:17,416 --> 01:53:21,128
Sometimes the tiniest breeze
can set me off, shivering.
2107
01:53:23,380 --> 01:53:26,758
There's nothing I can do about it.
I can't turn it off.
2108
01:53:28,093 --> 01:53:30,095
I just got to let it ride.
2109
01:53:34,850 --> 01:53:38,312
So, are you
Freddy's friend now?
2110
01:53:43,025 --> 01:53:44,401
(COUGHS)
2111
01:53:46,945 --> 01:53:49,197
You just knew
it was gonna be good.

You just knew
it was gonna be irresistible.

But this has every
fucking thing.

none of it,

is clear-cut venality.

01:54:02,878 --> 01:54:07,341
It's all kind of human
and awful and. . . sad.
2118
01:54:09,343 --> 01:54:11,636
Now we'll find out.
2119
01:54:12,137 --> 01:54:14,806
Find out what, Libby?
We just found out.
2120
01:54:14,973 --> 01:54:18,560
Oh, don't play dumb with me, Henry.
This is a test.
2121
01:54:19,311 --> 01:54:21,313
Of us and them.
2122
01:54:21,521 --> 01:54:23,940
Actually, of us and them
and us again.
2123

We got the dirt.

Now it's about them,
Jack and Susan.
2125

What are they
gonna do with it?

Little buddy, isn't that
what we're both after here?
2127
01:54:34,576 --> 01:54:38,121
I mean, after 25 years,
I get to see what they're about.

Not just hope.

This is it.
Graduation day.
2130
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:47,005
They graduate or I do.
2131
01:54:47,839 --> 01:54:51,093
Tell the truth, Henry.
Isn't that what you're really after too?

with this?

More authoritative in a way.

Through an intermediary,
someone not associated with the campaign.
2144
01:56:02,330 --> 01:56:03,874
I don't think so.

there's anything of use here.

the use of this material is proper.

Aw, come on, Libby.

Why did you go out and get it
if you weren't gonna use it?
2153

'Cause Susan was right.
He could've been a real shit.

I didn't think he would be, and he isn't.
But he could've been.

But, Jackie, my dearest,
you're off the fuckin' point.
2156

this sort of thing.

why this sucks?

after the convention.

has chosen a vice president

who had electric shock
treatments.
2178

I considered the possibility
2179
01:57:52,899 --> 01:57:55,402
we might lose
to that fuckbrain Nixon.

I was absolutely convinced we would win.

We were so fuckin' young.
2182
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:08,540
And this one. . .
He takes me out.
2183
01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:12,502
We go to this little open-air Cuban joint.
'Member, Jack?
2184
01:58:12,627 --> 01:58:15,547
I got my head in my hands.
Life has ended.
2185
01:58:15,672 --> 01:58:19,467
I say, "They did it. The C. I.A.
It had to be the C. I.A."
2186
01:58:19,676 --> 01:58:22,137
I couldn't believe that Tom
Eagleton would really be a nutcase.
2187
01:58:22,304 --> 01:58:25,223
They had to have dragged him off
and drugged him and made him crazy.
2188
01:58:25,473 --> 01:58:28,685
It couldn't have been that McGovern
was a complete fucking amateur.
2189
01:58:28,810 --> 01:58:33,815
No, they did dirty tricks. I said, "We got
to get the same capability as the C. I.A."
2190
01:58:34,065 --> 01:58:36,776
'Member, Jack?
"We got to be able to do dirt too."

to end all that.

to make it clean.

we win.

are better."

You remember that,
Jack?
2196
01:58:55,587 --> 01:58:57,380
That was a long time ago.
2197
01:58:58,048 --> 01:59:01,801
Libby, you said it yourself.
We were young.
2198
01:59:02,677 --> 01:59:04,804
We didn't know
how the world worked.
2199
01:59:06,222 --> 01:59:07,807
Now we know.
2200
01:59:08,725 --> 01:59:12,437
We know that if we don't move on this
Picker situation, two things will happen:
2201
01:59:12,646 --> 01:59:15,190
The first is, we're dead.
Everything we've worked for
2202
01:59:15,273 --> 01:59:18,693
since Miami 25 years ago
dies, and fast.
2203
01:59:19,653 --> 01:59:22,864
The second thing that happens is someday
very soon, when the romance dies,
2204
01:59:22,947 --> 01:59:25,492
when they've gotten sick of Freddie
Picker's quiet, righteous act,
2205
01:59:25,617 --> 01:59:28,995
some enterprising journalist
will stumble onto this.
2206
01:59:30,497 --> 01:59:33,416
If he doesn't, the Republicans will
lead him to it on their timetable.
2207
01:59:33,500 --> 01:59:35,585
Next fall, it'll be
another Eagleton.
2208
01:59:36,419 --> 01:59:39,547
It'll be our fault this time
for letting it happen.
2209
01:59:40,215 --> 01:59:41,883
Your fault, Libby.
2210
01:59:43,259 --> 01:59:45,053
Honey, you may be right.
2211
01:59:45,136 --> 01:59:47,472
All of it may be right.
2212
01:59:47,722 --> 01:59:51,351
But we can't do it because it just
ain't who we're supposed to be.
2213
01:59:51,601 --> 01:59:54,479
JACK: Maybe we could leak part of
it, the Clearwater stuff.
2214
01:59:54,771 --> 01:59:56,481
We know the Republicans
have that.
2215
01:59:56,773 --> 01:59:59,317
You don't think they're gonna
have the rest any day now?
2216
01:59:59,484 --> 02:00:01,486
You think Reyes is only
gonna tell this story once?
2217
02:00:02,070 --> 02:00:04,489
I'm sorry, Libby.
There's just no discussion.
2218
02:00:04,739 --> 02:00:07,117
You're right.
None.
2219
02:00:08,034 --> 02:00:10,745
Henry and me have decided
this dies here.
2220
02:00:11,204 --> 02:00:12,580
I don't think so.
2221
02:00:17,460 --> 02:00:20,171
I'm sorry, sweetheart,
but it does.
2222
02:00:21,005 --> 02:00:22,590
And here's why.
2223
02:00:24,551 --> 02:00:26,177
You know what this is?
2224
02:00:26,594 --> 02:00:30,890
Test results on Jack's blood,
Uncle Charlie's blood taken over the years.
2225
02:00:31,057 --> 02:00:35,311
This is the blood test report Jack
gave me that proves he's not the father
2226
02:00:35,395 --> 02:00:36,688
of Loretta McCollister's baby.
2227
02:00:36,771 --> 02:00:39,357
You know what, Jack?
It's not your blood.
2228
02:00:40,400 --> 02:00:41,443
Isn't that a riot?
2229
02:00:42,861 --> 02:00:46,114
The blood sample Dr. Beauregard
took was not from you.
2230
02:00:46,406 --> 02:00:48,241
It was
from Uncle Charlie.
2231
02:00:48,825 --> 02:00:50,744
You sent him to have his blood
tested in your place,
2232
02:00:50,827 --> 02:00:53,371
because you know good old
Dr. Beauregard loves you and
2233
02:00:53,496 --> 02:00:55,623
(IMITATING BEAUREGARD) "wants to
teach those Yankees a lesson."
2234
02:00:55,874 --> 02:00:58,501
He's not gonna love you enough
to lose his license, Jack.
2235
02:00:58,752 --> 02:01:01,755
Once he knows I have proof,
he'll fold like a cheap accordion.
2236
02:01:02,213 --> 02:01:05,258
I know that won't prove you are
the father of Loretta's baby.
2237
02:01:05,633 --> 02:01:07,343
In fact,
I think you're not.
2238
02:01:07,552 --> 02:01:09,804
But it proves you thought
you might be.
2239
02:01:10,555 --> 02:01:14,392
That proves you fucked her.
That will kill your chances.
2240
02:01:15,143 --> 02:01:16,603
You would do that.
2241
02:01:17,395 --> 02:01:19,481
You would end
his political career.
2242
02:01:21,316 --> 02:01:24,527
You see, Jack,
she hasn't even heard.
2243
02:01:25,570 --> 02:01:29,407
She isn't even upset that you
fucked your 17-year-old baby-sitter.
2244
02:01:30,033 --> 02:01:33,912
You know why?
It's never the cheat who goes to hell.
2245
02:01:34,120 --> 02:01:36,289
It's always the one
who he cheated on.
2246
02:01:36,748 --> 02:01:39,417
That's why you can still talk
in that tenderhearted voice
2247
02:01:39,542 --> 02:01:41,169
about bein' in it
for the folks.
2248
02:01:41,461 --> 02:01:45,715
And Susie here can only talk in that voice
from hell about your political career.
2249
02:01:46,299 --> 02:01:51,054
What kind of shit is that?

You don't think Abraham Lincoln was
a whore before he was a president?
2418
02:12:35,906 --> 02:12:37,283
He had to tell his stories
2419
02:12:37,366 --> 02:12:40,161
and smile his shit-eating,
back-country grin.
2420
02:12:40,286 --> 02:12:43,122
He did it so he would one day
have the opportunity
2421
02:12:43,247 --> 02:12:44,540
to stand in front
of the nation
2422
02:12:44,623 --> 02:12:46,876
and appeal to "the better
angels of our nature."
2423
02:12:47,460 --> 02:12:49,211
That's where
the bullshit stops.
2424
02:12:50,171 --> 02:12:51,297
That's what it's all about.
2425
02:12:51,380 --> 02:12:54,925
So we have the opportunity to make the
most of it, to do it the right way.
2426
02:12:55,092 --> 02:12:57,845
You know as well as I do
there are plenty
2427
02:12:57,928 --> 02:13:00,514
of people playing this game
that don't think that way.
2428
02:13:00,598 --> 02:13:03,392
They're willing to sell their
souls, crawl through sewers,
2429
02:13:03,517 --> 02:13:05,936
lie to people, divide them,
play on their worst fears,
2430
02:13:06,020 --> 02:13:08,856
for nothing,
just for the prize.
2431
02:13:09,273 --> 02:13:10,816
I don't care.
2432
02:13:12,860 --> 02:13:16,530
I'm sorry, but I'm not
comparing the players.
2433
02:13:17,281 --> 02:13:18,949
I don't like the game.
2434
02:13:20,576 --> 02:13:23,913
I wanna work for something small.
Voter registration.
2435
02:13:24,413 --> 02:13:27,041
After everyone's registered,
who will they vote for?
2436
02:13:27,333 --> 02:13:29,668
In the end, Henry,
who can do this better than me?
2437
02:13:29,752 --> 02:13:31,587
Think about it.
Is there anyone out there
2438
02:13:31,712 --> 02:13:33,672
with a chance to actually
win this election
2439
02:13:33,756 --> 02:13:35,508
who'd do more for the
people than I would?
2440
02:13:35,841 --> 02:13:38,135
Who'd even think about
the folks I care about?
2441
02:13:39,970 --> 02:13:41,514
HENRY: Oh, shit.
2442
02:13:41,597 --> 02:13:43,390
JACK: Aw, is that them?
So quick?
2443
02:13:43,474 --> 02:13:47,102
That damn driver. I knew it.
All right.
2444
02:13:47,186 --> 02:13:49,688
We'll go talk
to them together. Come on.
2445
02:13:50,022 --> 02:13:51,982
Ah, don't shake your head.
2446
02:13:52,608 --> 02:13:54,860
We worked so hard together
to get here.
2447
02:13:55,277 --> 02:13:57,863
It's there for us now.
Right there.
2448
02:13:58,614 --> 02:14:00,616
We can do incredible things.
2449
02:14:01,450 --> 02:14:03,702
We can change
this whole country.
2450
02:14:05,955 --> 02:14:07,331
I'm gonna win this thing,
2451
02:14:07,414 --> 02:14:10,793
and when I do,
we're gonna make history.
2452
02:14:10,876 --> 02:14:14,088
Look me in the eye and tell
me it's not gonna happen.
2453
02:14:14,255 --> 02:14:16,840
Look me in the eye
and tell me
2454
02:14:16,924 --> 02:14:17,967
you don't
wanna be part of it.
2455
02:14:20,135 --> 02:14:22,304
Jeez. . . Jesus, Henry.
2456
02:14:22,429 --> 02:14:24,056
You want me to get down
on my knees?
2457
02:14:24,390 --> 02:14:27,893
I can't do without you.
Don't leave me now.
2458
02:14:30,479 --> 02:14:31,939
You're still with me,
aren't you?
2459
02:14:32,648 --> 02:14:34,984
Say you are.
Say it. Say it.
2460
02:14:37,695 --> 02:14:39,488
(LAUGHING) Come on. Henry!
2461
02:14:39,822 --> 02:14:42,575
This is ridiculous!
You got to be with me!
2462
02:14:56,672 --> 02:14:59,508
(TENNESSEE WALTZ PLAYING)
2463
02:15:04,179 --> 02:15:07,349
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
2464
02:15:22,239 --> 02:15:25,326

Mr. President.
2467
02:15:58,192 --> 02:15:59,985
Now, don't break our hearts.
2468
02:16:02,821 --> 02:16:05,616
MAN: Mazel tov,
Mr. President.
