This is the place.

Where the simple, average American family lives.

There's Clarence, my boy.

Just like any other male.

The only difference is he wants to be God.

And that's coming right out of the horse's mouth.

There's Edna, his loving wife, and her brood following Clarence

She has no choice.

astute in the art of picking weeds.

That's right, ma'am.

Thank you.

[sighs] Don't be alarmed.

They didn't really want insurance, anyway.

As head of this department here, I am going to do something that

has never been done before in insurance history.

I'm giving every one of you the day off!

-[woman] Are you serious, Mr. Hilliard?

-[Clarence] I certainly am! -You're kidding!

-Anchorage Insurance, Mr. Hilliard's office.

A call for you, Mr. Hilliard! Are you in?

-What's the question, dear?

-What's the question, ma'am?

A policy concerning funeral expenses.

-All right.

Yes, I wouldn't even bother taking out insurance policies on

a funeral, dear.

Because when you die, your body starts to stink.

That's right. They'll give you a free burial.

I wouldn't worry about nothing.

No, no, you don't need insurance policies that cover

your burial funeral.

-Get them! -Yes, sir.

-[Charlie] You, Clarence, come into my office.

-Yes, Mr. Knotakov.

-[Charlie] Sit down, Clarence.

What's happening to you, Clarence?

[city sounds]

I have also heard that you have been informing people not to

take out insurance policies with this company!

-As simple there is with it, Charlie,

I'm bored with the insurance profession.

Because I'm fed up with everybody with their "scrape and

screw" and their "pay-to-save" for their insurance policies.

You know, if life was eternal, Charlie,

then one could stay in an insurance office and work with

it, but...

time is short, and I'm gonna make use of it.

But then you wouldn't understand that, would you?

The only thing you care about is insurance policies.

Any place where there's people, we'll get our message to them!

-When do we start?

-You've already started!

♪dramatic music♪

We don't spend money for outer space!

And we don't spend money to other countries!

We've never lost a war once!

And yet the same countries that we've conquered,

have actually conquered us!

Today, they're on a better economical level than we are!

And why is that?

How about our own people?

How about our own suffering people here?

What is it for them?

Nothing!

And I say to you, regardless of race,

creed, or color -- reach forth!

There will be only one party!

Man's party!

-Alonzo.

You got everything set for God's speech tonight?

-Have you alerted the press? -Yes.

-Have you got the guards to take care of 'em?

-Everything is ready.

It's going to be a tremendous turnout for God.

-Tonight, Alonzo, is one of the most important

speeches of his life.

-Don't worry, it will.

Pretty soon, the whole world will know who God Hilliard is!

-That's what we've been working so hard for.

-He won't fail us!

[cheering]

-[man on PA] And now, ladies and gentlemen,

I give you the next President of the United States,

God Hilliard!

[cheers and applause]

♪dramatic music♪

-[Clarance on PA] The politicians tell you that

we're satisfied!

The modern science of life,

and the luxuries fill a simple plane!

Average people could have been extended,

but because...

of a selfish government...

who has a monopoly, I've seen to it that only two parties have

ever existed!

The Democrats on one side, and the Republicans on the

other side!

[cheering]

I tell you, that if I'm voted the next

President of the United States, I'll see to it that millions are

given to medical research!

I'll do away with all the charitable housing,

and set up real establishments for the people!

And I'll see to it, above all, that the simple,

plain people of this country, the flesh and blood of mankind,

is the true God!

Not in God we trust!

But in super human being we trust!

So, I implore you now!

Go out to the streets!

Go to the corners!

Go to the hills!

Go tell my associates!

Wherever they are!

Tell them of my plan!

That I want to raise them up and let them up,

and let them live forever!

[cheering]

-[crowd] [chanting] We want God! We want God!

We want God! We want God!

[whistle blows]

We've come a long way, Alonzo.

-You'll be elected, God!

-How you doin,' boys? You working very hard?

-Yes, God. -Can't miss, God.

-How you doing, Teddy?

-Don't worry! We'll win, God, by a landslide!

-Yeah, we'll win, all right.

They'll know that God Hilliard is around after this!

How we doing, Clem?

-Just great, God! -You eating good these days?

-Yes, sir! I certainly am!

-[chuckling] Carry on, Clem.

Work hard for the cause!

-She's been gone a whole year.

She wants to see you.

Do you want her to wait in the front house,

or shall I bring her here?

-[Clarence] No, I'm too busy.

-Do you really mean that?

She wants to see you so badly!

I'll bring her in, all right?

-[Clarence] I'm too busy, that's all!

-All right, God.

I'll tell Mrs. Hilliard you'll see her later.

-Religion holds a very sacred place

with the American people, God.

Not that you condemn it, but you don't advocate it, either.

-The papers are calling you an atheist.

I know that's ridiculous.

Your platform, every man can be a god in his own right.

-[man] You must understand, God.

You have to convince the people that you're not an

atheist, otherwise, all is lost.

Even your wife has made some derogatory remarks about your

stand on religion, and these statements have been published.

-I'll take care of my wife.

Is everything ready for my speech tonight?

-[man on intercom] It's the reporters again, that's all.

-How about answering some questions for us?

-You print out only lies, anyway.

-If you tell us the truth, we'll print the truth!

-That's right! -All right, gentlemen.

What do you want to know?

-Is your God going to win on Wednesday?

-Of course he's going to win.

-Ah, you know he hasn't got a ghost of a chance!

-He will win.

-[man] He's an atheist, isn't he?

-An atheist? Do you see this?

I'm the follower. He's a god himself.

I believe in him.

-[chuckling]

-He's the only living creature that you can call a god!

History has never known a man like this before.

You can print your false lies and your papers,

but the people know what he stands for.

-[man] Is it true that he's going to make you the next

President of Mexico?

[indistinct chatter]

-[yelling] Shut up!

What a pity!

The knowledge brought to people is in the destiny of

fools like you.

Write the truth, man!

Write the truth!

God Hilliard is the people.

He will put the people -- you and I -- on a level where

we should be!

-What's the difference between him and a Communist?

[indistinct yelling]

-I told you in the past to give up this nonsensical,

ridiculous idea about religion.

I don't want you ever to take the children to church again.

-[Betty] We've received Communion today, Daddy.

-You see what you're doing to the children?

You're making them the same way you are.

-You're just going to destroy yourself, and...

everybody who believes in you.

Come out of the darkness into the light, Clarence.

-[Clarence] I won't listen to this foolish talk.

-But it's true, Daddy.

Just turn to Him.

It's so easy.

Please Daddy, just for me.

Just for me.

Please.

Darling!

Why did you do that?

Are you all right?
