Oh, hey, Jennifer.
19
00:01:07,768 --> 00:01:09,112
What are you doing?
20
00:01:09,136 --> 00:01:11,981
I have to do an oral report
for Social Studies class.
21
00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:12,982
What about?
22
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:15,151
How a bill becomes a law.
23
00:01:15,175 --> 00:01:16,753
Oh, all right. Uh,
24
00:01:16,777 --> 00:01:18,355
why don't you read me
what you have so far.
25
00:01:18,379 --> 00:01:19,355
Okay.
26
00:01:19,379 --> 00:01:21,814
"How a bill becomes a law."
27
00:01:24,117 --> 00:01:25,362
I like it a lot.
28
00:01:25,386 --> 00:01:27,030
It's peppy and interesting.
29
00:01:27,054 --> 00:01:29,899
It's zippy, yet informative.
30
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,756
Let me hear it again.
31
00:01:32,660 --> 00:01:33,903
Oh, hey, Skippy.
32
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:35,072
How's the report going, Jen?
33
00:01:35,096 --> 00:01:36,339
Oh, she's good, Mr. Keaton.
34
00:01:36,363 --> 00:01:37,340
Go ahead.
35
00:01:37,364 --> 00:01:41,111
Read him what you just read me.
36
00:01:41,135 --> 00:01:43,045
Dad, I need some help.
Do you have a minute?
37
00:01:43,069 --> 00:01:44,947
I can't now, Jen. Your mom
and I have to take Andrew
38
00:01:44,971 --> 00:01:46,716
to his play group. Maybe later?
39
00:01:47,741 --> 00:01:50,353
Oh, Elyse. The
Boswells are here.
40
00:01:50,377 --> 00:01:52,655
All set.
41
00:01:52,679 --> 00:01:55,959
Oh, Steven, try not
to get into an argument
42
00:01:55,983 --> 00:01:57,894
with these people again, okay?
43
00:01:57,918 --> 00:01:59,929
Look, I don't start these
arguments. They do.
44
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:03,166
They're so competitive about
their son's accomplishments.
45
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:04,900
"Our Timmy can stand up."
46
00:02:04,924 --> 00:02:06,336
"Our Timmy can talk."
47
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,837
"Our Timmy can read."
48
00:02:07,861 --> 00:02:11,240
I can do most of those things.
49
00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:14,077
You guys ready? We're waiting.
50
00:02:14,101 --> 00:02:15,111
Oh, hi, Ralph.
51
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:17,068
Yeah. We're all set.
52
00:02:19,773 --> 00:02:21,317
You see Timmy, there in the car?
53
00:02:21,341 --> 00:02:23,853
Oh, yeah. Isn't he cute.
54
00:02:23,877 --> 00:02:25,443
He drove us here.
55
00:02:29,216 --> 00:02:31,461
Goodbye, honey. Be
back in a couple of hours.
56
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:32,485
Bye, Skip.
57
00:02:34,254 --> 00:02:35,232
Hi, Jen.
58
00:02:35,256 --> 00:02:37,667
Hi... Oh.
59
00:02:37,691 --> 00:02:39,936
Mallory, Alex isn't
home right now.
60
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,372
Can you help me with
my social studies project?
61
00:02:42,396 --> 00:02:44,507
Oh, I can't, Jen. I'm
late as it is for work.
62
00:02:44,531 --> 00:02:47,076
I gotta go upstairs
and change my clothes.
63
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:48,244
Uh, Mallory,
64
00:02:48,268 --> 00:02:50,269
do you need any help?
65
00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:55,050
Okay, yes, Skippy.
66
00:02:55,074 --> 00:02:59,177
I'd like you to come upstairs
and help me change my clothes.
67
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:11,256
He'll be back.
68
00:03:14,328 --> 00:03:15,488
Alex. You're home.
69
00:03:16,497 --> 00:03:17,729
Thanks, Jen.
70
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:22,545
For a second there I
didn't know where I was.
71
00:03:22,569 --> 00:03:24,814
Alex, I have to
do an oral report
72
00:03:24,838 --> 00:03:26,849
for Social Studies
class on Wednesday.
73
00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:29,452
I really, really need your help.
74
00:03:29,476 --> 00:03:31,554
I appeal to you, as my brother,
75
00:03:31,578 --> 00:03:34,324
to act out of
compassion and love,
76
00:03:34,348 --> 00:03:36,058
to reach out to
your younger sister
77
00:03:36,082 --> 00:03:38,322
and help her in
her hour of need.
78
00:03:41,989 --> 00:03:43,522
What's in it for me?
79
00:03:45,993 --> 00:03:49,072
Alex, please. I'm desperate.
80
00:03:49,096 --> 00:03:50,106
Jennifer, I don't get it.
81
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:52,041
I mean, you... You
get good grades.
82
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:53,409
You're good in school.
83
00:03:53,433 --> 00:03:55,845
How come you're so desperate
for my help all of a sudden?
84
00:03:55,869 --> 00:03:59,348
I saw some projects the
other kids were working on.
85
00:03:59,372 --> 00:04:01,051
They were really good.
86
00:04:01,075 --> 00:04:03,352
I want mine to be just as good.
87
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:05,055
I want mine to be better.
88
00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:06,989
I want mine to be the best.
89
00:04:07,013 --> 00:04:09,426
Well, Jennifer.
90
00:04:09,450 --> 00:04:14,063
I respect your goals of
conquest and domination.
91
00:04:14,087 --> 00:04:16,633
I'd like to think
I inspired them.
92
00:04:16,657 --> 00:04:18,501
But if I help you with this,
93
00:04:18,525 --> 00:04:20,036
we're gonna do it my way
94
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:21,070
start to finish,
95
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:22,639
every step, my way.
96
00:04:22,663 --> 00:04:23,639
You got it?
97
00:04:23,663 --> 00:04:24,841
Got it.
98
00:04:24,865 --> 00:04:26,076
All right. What's your topic?
99
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:27,777
How a bill becomes a law.
100
00:04:27,801 --> 00:04:29,745
And what are you using
for your resource material?
101
00:04:29,769 --> 00:04:31,202
This.
102
00:04:35,242 --> 00:04:37,620
What is this, a
seventh-grade textbook?
103
00:04:37,644 --> 00:04:41,090
Yes. I'm in seventh grade
and that's my textbook.
104
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:43,659
Well, if you want me
to be involved with this,
105
00:04:43,683 --> 00:04:46,162
you're gonna have to
abandon this childish,
106
00:04:46,186 --> 00:04:49,365
simplistic approach
to the subject.
107
00:04:49,389 --> 00:04:51,200
But that's the book we use.
108
00:04:51,224 --> 00:04:53,136
That's the book they use.
109
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,872
And they'll do their
little oral reports
110
00:04:55,896 --> 00:04:57,674
and they'll get
their little grades
111
00:04:57,698 --> 00:05:01,745
and they'll live
their little lives.
112
00:05:01,769 --> 00:05:03,813
But you want to know
something, Keaton?
113
00:05:03,837 --> 00:05:05,048
You're better than they are.
114
00:05:05,072 --> 00:05:06,549
And we're going to the library
115
00:05:06,573 --> 00:05:08,217
and we're gonna prove it.
116
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:10,186
Now, you want to
prove it, don't you?
117
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:12,277
I do... I can't hear you.
118
00:05:14,681 --> 00:05:16,526
I do.
119
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:19,295
Alex, how much more of
this stuff do I have to read?
120
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:20,663
Let's see.
121
00:05:20,687 --> 00:05:22,665
You still have, uh...
122
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:24,467
Ah, Martin Carruthers'
123
00:05:24,491 --> 00:05:26,023
Inside the U.S. Legislature,
124
00:05:27,894 --> 00:05:30,340
uh, Beatrice P. DuVall's
125
00:05:30,364 --> 00:05:32,608
Lawmaking in Western Society,
126
00:05:32,632 --> 00:05:34,977
and, ooh, ooh,
127
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:36,212
Bunson and Sheitz's
128
00:05:36,236 --> 00:05:38,714
Jurisprudence in the Common Law.
129
00:05:38,738 --> 00:05:39,715
Tonight?
130
00:05:39,739 --> 00:05:40,917
Want to know something, Jen?
131
00:05:40,941 --> 00:05:42,752
I like the way
this is shaping up.
132
00:05:42,776 --> 00:05:44,019
You play your cards right,
133
00:05:44,043 --> 00:05:45,087
I think you've got a shot
134
00:05:45,111 --> 00:05:47,223
at the Thomas
Dewey Award this year.
135
00:05:47,247 --> 00:05:48,591
Are you crazy, Alex?
136
00:05:48,615 --> 00:05:50,326
I don't have a
chance to win that.
137
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:51,727
The Dewey Award goes out
138
00:05:51,751 --> 00:05:54,230
to the best academic
presentation of the year.
139
00:05:54,254 --> 00:05:58,390
They always give it to some
pesky, dorky, genius type.
140
00:05:59,993 --> 00:06:01,693
I won it three years in a row.
141
00:06:06,633 --> 00:06:07,977
Jen, are you still up?
142
00:06:08,001 --> 00:06:09,979
Honey, it's after 10.
143
00:06:10,003 --> 00:06:12,314
You're working
awfully hard, honey.
144
00:06:12,338 --> 00:06:13,883
Hey, Jen, I got some time now.
145
00:06:13,907 --> 00:06:16,353
If you want I can... I can help
you with that thing of yours.
146
00:06:16,377 --> 00:06:17,520
Um...
147
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:19,510
How a Bill Grows Up?
148
00:06:20,847 --> 00:06:22,859
Mallory, I'm helping her.
149
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:25,895
For Jennifer to go from
my help to your help,
150
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:28,453
would require a
decompression chamber.
151
00:06:29,757 --> 00:06:31,368
Jennifer, it's great
152
00:06:31,392 --> 00:06:33,869
that you're motivated
to work this hard.
153
00:06:33,893 --> 00:06:35,105
Oh, well, you know me, Dad.
154
00:06:35,129 --> 00:06:36,673
I can't get enough
of this stuff.
155
00:06:36,697 --> 00:06:39,609
You know, Elyse, I'm
beginning to wonder
156
00:06:39,633 --> 00:06:41,844
if we've been too
easy on Andrew.
157
00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:42,912
What do you mean?
158
00:06:42,936 --> 00:06:44,680
Well, you know,
little Timmy Boswell
159
00:06:44,704 --> 00:06:46,348
is the same age as Andrew,
160
00:06:46,372 --> 00:06:47,683
and he does seem more advanced.
161
00:06:47,707 --> 00:06:49,552
Did you see him at
that play group today?
162
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:51,453
Yeah, I did. If you
want my opinion,
163
00:06:51,477 --> 00:06:53,489
his parents are
pushing him too hard.
164
00:06:53,513 --> 00:06:55,158
Yeah, he should have
been playing with Andy
165
00:06:55,182 --> 00:06:56,760
and the other
1-year-olds, at blocks.
166
00:06:56,784 --> 00:06:58,394
Why? What? What
was little Timmy doing?
167
00:06:58,418 --> 00:06:59,951
Playing backgammon.
168
00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:04,067
He wasn't really
playing, Steven.
169
00:07:04,091 --> 00:07:07,103
He beat me two
out of three games.
170
00:07:07,127 --> 00:07:09,105
Good night, sweetheart.
Try not to stay up too late.
171
00:07:09,129 --> 00:07:11,607
Don't worry, Mom. I'll make sure
she gets to bed nice and early.
172
00:07:11,631 --> 00:07:13,543
All right. Okay? Nighty-night.
173
00:07:13,567 --> 00:07:14,544
Good night.
174
00:07:14,568 --> 00:07:15,568
Hey.
175
00:07:17,504 --> 00:07:20,249
And so the electoral
college meets in December
176
00:07:20,273 --> 00:07:23,819
and casts its 538 votes.
177
00:07:23,843 --> 00:07:27,556
And that's how our
president is elected.
178
00:07:28,715 --> 00:07:30,727
Thank you, Brenda. Very nice.
179
00:07:30,751 --> 00:07:32,962
Uh, we have time for one
more report this morning.
180
00:07:32,986 --> 00:07:34,364
Jennifer, are you ready?
181
00:07:34,388 --> 00:07:35,931
Uh, yes, ma'am.
182
00:07:35,955 --> 00:07:38,034
But it'll take me a
couple minutes to set up.
183
00:07:38,058 --> 00:07:39,802
Very well. We'll
take a short break.
184
00:07:39,826 --> 00:07:43,305
Class, you may talk
quietly among yourselves.
185
00:07:43,329 --> 00:07:45,541
It's about time that
Brenda finished.
186
00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:48,645
I thought she'd babble forever.
187
00:07:48,669 --> 00:07:50,412
She's a good
friend of mine, Alex.
188
00:07:50,436 --> 00:07:51,513
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
189
00:07:51,537 --> 00:07:53,657
You'll blow her
out of the water.
190
00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:55,150
Mrs. Pedroza,
191
00:07:55,174 --> 00:07:57,187
I'd like you to meet
my brother Alex.
192
00:07:57,211 --> 00:07:58,320
He gave me a ride today.
193
00:07:58,344 --> 00:07:59,722
Oh, how nice.
194
00:07:59,746 --> 00:08:02,291
Uh, Alex, did you help
Jennifer with her presentation?
195
00:08:02,315 --> 00:08:03,759
Uh, me?
196
00:08:03,783 --> 00:08:06,262
Uh... uh, n-no. No.
197
00:08:06,286 --> 00:08:08,231
Uh, no I don't... I
don't know nothing
198
00:08:08,255 --> 00:08:10,655
about this government
mumbo-jumbo.
199
00:08:12,792 --> 00:08:14,770
I just, uh, you know,
I just carry the stuff
200
00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:17,628
Jennifer tells me to.
201
00:08:20,767 --> 00:08:22,145
Alex, I'm nervous.
202
00:08:22,169 --> 00:08:23,446
Listen, you'll be all right.
203
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:25,548
Just speak clearly and
don't rush your presentation.
204
00:08:25,572 --> 00:08:29,252
These simpletons are
lucky to be here for it.
205
00:08:29,276 --> 00:08:30,954
Great.
206
00:08:30,978 --> 00:08:33,189
Can you stay and watch, Alex?
207
00:08:33,213 --> 00:08:34,490
Oh, gee, I guess so.
208
00:08:34,514 --> 00:08:36,847
I don't have to be back
at the quarry for an hour.
209
00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:45,935
Class, we're ready
to begin again.
210
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:49,571
Jennifer will enlighten us
on how a bill becomes a law.
211
00:08:49,595 --> 00:08:51,173
Jennifer.
212
00:08:51,197 --> 00:08:55,011
Uh, friends,
classmates, citizens,
213
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:57,435
lend me your ears.
214
00:09:08,181 --> 00:09:10,326
If the revised bill is approved
215
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:12,428
by both the House
and the Senate,
216
00:09:12,452 --> 00:09:14,263
it is sent to the
enrolling clerk
217
00:09:14,287 --> 00:09:16,732
to be printed on parchment.
218
00:09:16,756 --> 00:09:18,501
It is this enrolled bill
219
00:09:18,525 --> 00:09:20,870
that is signed by the
Speaker of the House
220
00:09:20,894 --> 00:09:25,408
and the President of the Senate.
221
00:09:25,432 --> 00:09:30,413
Then the document is transported
up Pennsylvania Avenue
222
00:09:30,437 --> 00:09:32,248
to the White House,
223
00:09:32,272 --> 00:09:35,551
home of the President
of the United States.
224
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:36,735
The president has ten days...
225
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:39,188
not counting Sundays,
226
00:09:39,212 --> 00:09:42,759
to sign or veto the bill.
227
00:09:42,783 --> 00:09:45,361
If he signs it, the
bill becomes a law.
228
00:09:45,385 --> 00:09:49,298
If he vetoes it, it
takes a two-thirds vote
229
00:09:49,322 --> 00:09:53,603
of both houses of Congress
to override his veto.
230
00:09:53,627 --> 00:09:56,728
Let me assure you,
this rarely happens.
231
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,413
We have reached the
end of our long journey.
232
00:10:03,437 --> 00:10:06,048
Once the president
signs our bill,
233
00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:08,651
it becomes law of the land,
234
00:10:08,675 --> 00:10:11,253
a shining example of democracy,
235
00:10:11,277 --> 00:10:15,325
a beacon to freedom-loving
people everywhere.
236
00:10:15,349 --> 00:10:16,659
Thank you.
237
00:10:26,192 --> 00:10:27,670
And the music
built to a crescendo,
238
00:10:27,694 --> 00:10:30,106
and there she was, draped
in the Stars and Stripes,
239
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:31,440
radiant in the spotlight.
240
00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:33,309
I'm telling you, it
was spectacular.
241
00:10:33,333 --> 00:10:36,712
Kids were crying
in their lunchboxes.
242
00:10:36,736 --> 00:10:38,947
Alex is exaggerating a little.
243
00:10:38,971 --> 00:10:42,451
Ah, Jen, you're just a
chip off the old block.
244
00:10:42,475 --> 00:10:43,552
You know, you're right.
245
00:10:43,576 --> 00:10:44,787
When I was about 12,
246
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:46,756
I... I had to do this
cookie-bake demonstration
247
00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:48,257
for the Girl Scouts jamboree,
248
00:10:48,281 --> 00:10:50,360
and there were about 20
people there and I had to make...
249
00:10:50,384 --> 00:10:52,294
Uh, dear,
250
00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:54,330
when I said she was
a chip off the old block,
251
00:10:54,354 --> 00:10:56,834
that's not exactly
what I was referring to.
252
00:10:57,557 --> 00:10:58,934
Actually, I was
thinking of the time
253
00:10:58,958 --> 00:11:01,837
when I was 12 and, uh,
254
00:11:01,861 --> 00:11:04,306
I gave a speech at the
annual potluck dinner
255
00:11:04,330 --> 00:11:07,710
of the Young Bowlers of America.
256
00:11:07,734 --> 00:11:11,513
Oh, please, go on.
257
00:11:11,537 --> 00:11:16,207
Allow me to say, I
bowled them over.
258
00:11:18,845 --> 00:11:20,690
That's a wonderful story, dear.
259
00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:23,381
I'll get it.
260
00:11:25,652 --> 00:11:28,865
Jen, that is great that you
impressed Mrs. Pedroza.
261
00:11:28,889 --> 00:11:31,167
She's tough. I had
her in seventh grade.
262
00:11:31,191 --> 00:11:33,369
She didn't like my
history presentation at all.
263
00:11:33,393 --> 00:11:34,503
What was it?
264
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:36,872
It was a revolutionary war.
265
00:11:36,896 --> 00:11:38,707
They wore red coats,
266
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:42,167
we dressed casually.
267
00:11:47,774 --> 00:11:51,208
See what happens when
people don't come to me for help?
268
00:11:53,612 --> 00:11:55,725
Well, I knew you
could pull it off, kiddo.
269
00:11:55,749 --> 00:11:57,059
You were fabulous.
270
00:11:57,083 --> 00:11:58,861
I'm glad it's over.
271
00:11:58,885 --> 00:12:00,730
I was really scared.
272
00:12:00,754 --> 00:12:02,899
I was up there saying
a bunch of words.
273
00:12:02,923 --> 00:12:05,067
I had no idea what they meant.
274
00:12:05,091 --> 00:12:07,036
So?
275
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:12,174
Mallory does that
every day of her life.
276
00:12:12,198 --> 00:12:15,044
Someone here to see you, Jen.
277
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:16,646
Mrs. Pedroza.
278
00:12:16,670 --> 00:12:17,646
Hello, Jennifer.
279
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:20,349
Hi, uh, you remember
my brother, Alex.
280
00:12:20,373 --> 00:12:21,650
Of course.
281
00:12:21,674 --> 00:12:23,641
How are things at the quarry?
282
00:12:27,347 --> 00:12:29,591
Uh, busy, busy.
283
00:12:29,615 --> 00:12:31,415
We're having a sale.
284
00:12:33,619 --> 00:12:35,597
You wanna buy a
couple tons of granite?
285
00:12:41,193 --> 00:12:44,673
Mrs. Pedroza has something
very exciting to tell you.
286
00:12:44,697 --> 00:12:46,942
Jennifer, I was so impressed
with your presentation,
287
00:12:46,966 --> 00:12:49,278
that I would like for you to
be one of the contestants
288
00:12:49,302 --> 00:12:51,583
for the Thomas Dewey
Award this Friday.
289
00:12:53,807 --> 00:12:55,251
Me?
290
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:57,152
And you deserve
it. Will you be there?
291
00:12:57,176 --> 00:13:00,322
Well, uh, my parents
don't like me to stay up late.
292
00:13:00,346 --> 00:13:02,458
We'd be happy to make
an exception in this case.
293
00:13:02,482 --> 00:13:03,525
Swell.
294
00:13:03,549 --> 00:13:04,894
Well, that's wonderful.
295
00:13:04,918 --> 00:13:05,961
It should be quite a night.
296
00:13:05,985 --> 00:13:07,430
Well, please sit
down, Mrs. Pedroza.
297
00:13:07,454 --> 00:13:09,197
No, No, I've got to run.
I just wanted to come by
298
00:13:09,221 --> 00:13:11,400
and congratulate Jennifer
in person, give her the news.
299
00:13:11,424 --> 00:13:13,190
Oh, it's nice of you to come.
300
00:13:15,362 --> 00:13:17,595
Did you understand
301
00:13:20,433 --> 00:13:22,767
what I told your sister?
302
00:13:23,936 --> 00:13:27,338
She is doing very well.
303
00:13:35,882 --> 00:13:37,293
Come on, Mrs. Pedroza,
304
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:38,750
we'll walk you to your car.
305
00:13:41,888 --> 00:13:43,265
Way to go, Jen.
306
00:13:43,289 --> 00:13:45,168
You're up for the Dewey.
307
00:13:45,192 --> 00:13:47,537
It's about time another Keaton's
name was engraved in gold.
308
00:13:47,561 --> 00:13:50,361
We had a long dry spell
there during the Mallory years.
309
00:13:52,232 --> 00:13:54,710
I don't think I can go
through with it, Alex.
310
00:13:54,734 --> 00:13:57,013
I'm gonna go tell Mrs.
Pedroza that you helped me
311
00:13:57,037 --> 00:13:59,481
and I don't deserve to
get this Dewey Award.
312
00:13:59,505 --> 00:14:00,616
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
313
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,785
That's not a Keaton
talking, Jennifer.
314
00:14:02,809 --> 00:14:05,354
A Keaton never backs
down from a challenge.
315
00:14:05,378 --> 00:14:07,222
Now, I know you're
afraid, but don't worry.
316
00:14:07,246 --> 00:14:09,992
I'm gonna be by your
side every step of the way.
317
00:14:10,016 --> 00:14:12,150
That's what I'm afraid of, Alex.
318
00:14:13,653 --> 00:14:15,097
In 1982,
319
00:14:15,121 --> 00:14:16,598
a group of British scientists
320
00:14:16,622 --> 00:14:18,968
fabricated a piece
of genetic material
321
00:14:18,992 --> 00:14:22,638
that was 514 paired
nucleotides in length.
322
00:14:22,662 --> 00:14:24,506
Can you believe that guy, Alex?
323
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:26,342
I can't do that. Hey.
324
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:28,644
You're never gonna win
with that attitude, Jennifer.
325
00:14:28,668 --> 00:14:31,247
Alex, you've loaded me
down with so much information
326
00:14:31,271 --> 00:14:33,515
I don't even know what
I'm thinking anymore.
327
00:14:33,539 --> 00:14:36,585
All right, look, just,
uh, relax, okay?
328
00:14:36,609 --> 00:14:40,156
When you get up there,
it'll all come back to you.
329
00:14:40,180 --> 00:14:43,759
Now, immune organa
interferon completes this list.
330
00:14:48,588 --> 00:14:49,765
That was excellent, Walter.
331
00:14:49,789 --> 00:14:50,800
Thank you.
332
00:14:50,824 --> 00:14:52,134
Our next contestant
333
00:14:52,158 --> 00:14:54,136
for this year's
Thomas Dewey Award
334
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,338
is Jennifer Keaton,
335
00:14:55,362 --> 00:14:58,774
who will discuss how
a bill becomes a law.
336
00:14:58,798 --> 00:15:00,531
Jennifer.
337
00:15:04,037 --> 00:15:06,214
Smile, honey, here
come the Boswells.
338
00:15:06,238 --> 00:15:07,616
Oh, Ralph.
339
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,051
Betty.
340
00:15:09,075 --> 00:15:10,219
Excuse me.
341
00:15:10,243 --> 00:15:11,821
So glad you could
make it. Uh-huh.
342
00:15:11,845 --> 00:15:12,821
Sorry we're late.
343
00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:13,989
Have trouble getting a sitter?
344
00:15:14,013 --> 00:15:15,424
No.
345
00:15:15,448 --> 00:15:17,526
Truth is, sitters
flock to our door.
346
00:15:17,550 --> 00:15:20,429
They all love taking
care of Timmy.
347
00:15:20,453 --> 00:15:22,465
Who wouldn't?
348
00:15:22,489 --> 00:15:26,836
Tonight, Timmy
sang for the first time.
349
00:15:26,860 --> 00:15:29,359
Aida.
350
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:33,898
Ladies and gentlemen.
351
00:15:37,737 --> 00:15:41,750
Friends, parents, citizens,
352
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:43,540
lend me your ears.
353
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:52,795
My subject tonight:
354
00:15:52,819 --> 00:15:55,920
How a bill, uh, grows up.
355
00:15:57,456 --> 00:15:59,734
I mean, how a
bill becomes a law.
356
00:15:59,758 --> 00:16:02,471
I guess I'm just a
little nervous right now.
357
00:16:02,495 --> 00:16:05,474
Anyway, um, it's a
very interesting process,
358
00:16:05,498 --> 00:16:07,742
and I wish I could tell
you about it, but I can't.
359
00:16:07,766 --> 00:16:09,045
I've got to go right now.
360
00:16:09,069 --> 00:16:10,946
Thank you. You've been
a great audience. Bye.
361
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:12,447
Wait, wait, hey.
362
00:16:12,471 --> 00:16:14,649
What are you doing? What
are you doing? Get back there.
363
00:16:14,673 --> 00:16:17,086
I can't, Alex. I don't
know what I'm saying.
364
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:18,921
Show... Show... Show
them the Capitol Building.
365
00:16:18,945 --> 00:16:20,945
I worked for 18 hours
painting that thing.
366
00:16:22,716 --> 00:16:26,094
Excuse me... Ladies and
gentlemen, before I go,
367
00:16:26,118 --> 00:16:28,753
I thought you'd like to
see the Capitol Building.
368
00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:38,729
Pass it around, but please,
no smoking inside of it.
369
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,878
Jennifer, that's not what
we planned for you to say.
370
00:16:42,902 --> 00:16:44,547
I don't know what
I'm supposed to say.
371
00:16:44,571 --> 00:16:46,748
Have... Have them
ask you some questions.
372
00:16:46,772 --> 00:16:47,883
You can handle that.
373
00:16:47,907 --> 00:16:49,684
Questions.
374
00:16:49,708 --> 00:16:52,822
Are there any questions
on how a bill becomes a law?
375
00:16:52,846 --> 00:16:54,389
Any questions at all?
376
00:16:54,413 --> 00:16:55,390
Miss Keaton.
377
00:16:55,414 --> 00:16:57,092
Yes, sir.
378
00:16:57,116 --> 00:16:59,383
Ralph Boswell, attorney at law.
379
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:05,000
I'd like to ask a
two-part question
380
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:06,702
concerning the
Supreme Court ruling
381
00:17:06,726 --> 00:17:09,404
in Marbury v. Madison in 1803.
382
00:17:09,428 --> 00:17:10,405
Objection.
383
00:17:10,429 --> 00:17:12,389
Overruled. Good.
384
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:16,578
Did you agree with Chief
Justice Marshall's assertion
385
00:17:16,602 --> 00:17:19,381
of judicial review
over acts of Congress?
386
00:17:19,405 --> 00:17:23,852
And secondly, do you think
this ruling had a chilling effect
387
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:27,256
on legislative process
during the Jeffersonian era?
388
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,379
Uh...
389
00:17:29,482 --> 00:17:31,926
I... I, uh, I don't...
390
00:17:31,950 --> 00:17:33,790
I'd like to field that question.
391
00:17:34,787 --> 00:17:36,031
If I might.
392
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:39,168
Uh, I think at that
point in... In U.S. history,
393
00:17:39,192 --> 00:17:41,736
it was important for the
high court to assert its parody
394
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,505
with the other
branches of government,
395
00:17:43,529 --> 00:17:46,964
vis-à-vis the process
of judicial review.
396
00:17:52,338 --> 00:17:56,585
Uh, or at least, uh, I think
that's what I thought I heard
397
00:17:56,609 --> 00:18:00,255
Jennifer saying around
the house the other day.
398
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:02,791
Excuse me, but you didn't really
answer my husband's question
399
00:18:02,815 --> 00:18:04,627
about Marbury v. Madison.
400
00:18:04,651 --> 00:18:07,129
Will you sit down.
401
00:18:08,354 --> 00:18:10,298
Jennifer, are you okay?
402
00:18:10,322 --> 00:18:11,500
No, I'm not okay.
403
00:18:11,524 --> 00:18:14,169
I don't know what
I'm doing here.
404
00:18:14,193 --> 00:18:16,126
I'm sorry, Alex. I let you down.
405
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:24,313
What were you
thinking about, Alex?
406
00:18:24,337 --> 00:18:26,481
How did you expect
Jennifer to learn all this?
407
00:18:26,505 --> 00:18:29,184
I just wanted her presentation
to be the best that it could be.
408
00:18:29,208 --> 00:18:31,287
What could possibly
be wrong with that?
409
00:18:31,311 --> 00:18:34,789
Alex, this isn't material
for a 13-year-old.
410
00:18:34,813 --> 00:18:37,326
This is something only
an adult could understand.
411
00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:39,450
What does this mean?
412
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,555
Naturally, I'm assuming a
working knowledge of Latin.
413
00:18:46,793 --> 00:18:49,938
Jennifer, wh-why'd
you let him do so much?
414
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:52,140
I mean, you're awfully
good in social studies.
415
00:18:52,164 --> 00:18:56,211
You guys are always helping
Jennifer with her homework.
416
00:18:56,235 --> 00:18:58,147
I thought this was
the same thing.
417
00:18:58,171 --> 00:18:59,581
It's not the same thing.
418
00:18:59,605 --> 00:19:01,839
We're not that much help.
419
00:19:05,812 --> 00:19:09,124
Look, Jennifer, next time you
need help, just come to me.
420
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:11,794
I won't make you read any books.
421
00:19:11,818 --> 00:19:14,930
We'll just go to a movie.
422
00:19:14,954 --> 00:19:16,598
Look, Jen...
423
00:19:16,622 --> 00:19:19,022
Alex, I don't wanna
talk to you ever again.
424
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:22,638
Can I just talk to Jennifer
alone for a second?
425
00:19:22,662 --> 00:19:24,640
I mean... I just
need ten minutes
426
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:26,704
and I think we can
straighten this thing out.
427
00:19:28,034 --> 00:19:30,646
Well, that... That
sounds reasonable.
428
00:19:30,670 --> 00:19:36,050
Okay, now, ten minutes to
work it all out, but no hitting.
429
00:19:36,074 --> 00:19:37,786
I'd never do that, Mom.
430
00:19:37,810 --> 00:19:39,944
I was talking to Jennifer.
431
00:19:44,383 --> 00:19:47,596
Look, I'm sorry, Jen.
432
00:19:47,620 --> 00:19:51,800
I... I didn't mean to... To
push you as hard as I did.
433
00:19:51,824 --> 00:19:53,302
But you knew what
you were getting into
434
00:19:53,326 --> 00:19:54,658
when you came to me for help.
435
00:19:55,794 --> 00:19:57,039
You know that I can only
436
00:19:57,063 --> 00:19:59,474
do things one way:
437
00:19:59,498 --> 00:20:01,065
out of control.
438
00:20:04,303 --> 00:20:06,615
I just don't understand why...
Why you didn't try and stop me.
439
00:20:06,639 --> 00:20:09,151
I mean, i-if you were
so uncomfortable,
440
00:20:09,175 --> 00:20:10,619
w-why did you let me do it?
441
00:20:10,643 --> 00:20:14,122
Because it was just so easy
to let you point the way, Alex.
442
00:20:14,146 --> 00:20:16,925
You had so much energy,
it was like you were glowing.
443
00:20:16,949 --> 00:20:19,194
I... I was.
444
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:22,131
I get really fired up when
it comes to you, Jennifer.
445
00:20:22,155 --> 00:20:24,733
You're my sister. I
want you to do well.
446
00:20:24,757 --> 00:20:25,834
I want you to excel.
447
00:20:25,858 --> 00:20:28,203
I want you to be all you can be.
448
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:29,738
To... To go the extra mile.
449
00:20:29,762 --> 00:20:31,206
Alex, you're starting
to glow again.
450
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:32,230
Get away from me.
451
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,978
Sorry.
452
00:20:36,002 --> 00:20:39,837
I have to admit, there is
a part of me that liked it.
453
00:20:41,374 --> 00:20:45,420
The attention, the
applause, being the best.
454
00:20:45,444 --> 00:20:47,556
You and I are a lot alike.
455
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:48,857
You know that, Jennifer.
456
00:20:48,881 --> 00:20:51,248
Alex, please, I'm
depressed enough.
457
00:20:53,051 --> 00:20:54,829
What you have is special.
458
00:20:54,853 --> 00:20:57,332
What I have is special.
459
00:20:57,356 --> 00:20:59,156
What Mallory has is scary.
460
00:21:02,562 --> 00:21:05,073
Alex, I'm not like you.
461
00:21:05,097 --> 00:21:06,408
Y-yeah you are, Jen.
462
00:21:06,432 --> 00:21:09,878
I mean, don't...
Don't try and deny it.
463
00:21:09,902 --> 00:21:11,713
I'll... I'll never forget
the first time that...
464
00:21:11,737 --> 00:21:13,281
That I noticed it.
465
00:21:13,305 --> 00:21:17,052
You know, you were
about, uh, 4 years old,
466
00:21:17,076 --> 00:21:20,055
and, uh, you were
playing in the sandbox
467
00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:22,024
with little Brucey Dugan.
468
00:21:22,048 --> 00:21:23,225
And you were trying to see
469
00:21:23,249 --> 00:21:25,160
who could build the
biggest sandcastle.
470
00:21:25,184 --> 00:21:27,395
And, uh, Brucey
built one that was, uh,
471
00:21:27,419 --> 00:21:29,597
6 feet high and 5 feet wide,
472
00:21:29,621 --> 00:21:33,168
and yours looked like
servants' quarters to his castle.
473
00:21:33,192 --> 00:21:36,638
And, uh... And you
knew you were beat.
474
00:21:36,662 --> 00:21:38,807
And you got this
look on your face,
475
00:21:38,831 --> 00:21:42,177
and you walked up to
Brucey and you said,
476
00:21:42,201 --> 00:21:46,014
"Hey, Brucey, look,
the ice cream man."
477
00:21:46,038 --> 00:21:48,450
Brucey turned around and
478
00:21:48,474 --> 00:21:50,707
you crushed his
castle into the dust.
479
00:21:53,445 --> 00:21:55,424
And I remember
thinking to myself,
480
00:21:55,448 --> 00:21:57,014
"She is good.
481
00:21:59,418 --> 00:22:01,763
She is real good."
482
00:22:01,787 --> 00:22:04,399
Alex, I apologized
to Brucey later.
483
00:22:04,423 --> 00:22:06,457
All right, so you
weren't perfect.
484
00:22:07,893 --> 00:22:11,072
Look, Jennifer, we are
different than other people.
485
00:22:11,096 --> 00:22:12,408
We...
486
00:22:12,432 --> 00:22:16,011
You know, it's not easy for
us, living with Mom and Dad.
487
00:22:16,035 --> 00:22:19,703
You know, there's this blanket
of... Of niceness and decency
488
00:22:23,776 --> 00:22:27,411
that hangs over this
house like a black cloud.
489
00:22:29,882 --> 00:22:33,295
And it's up to us to stick
together and rise above it.
490
00:22:33,319 --> 00:22:35,764
Alex, I'm really not like that.
491
00:22:35,788 --> 00:22:38,100
And you want to know something?
You're not like that either.
492
00:22:38,124 --> 00:22:39,568
What do you mean?
493
00:22:39,592 --> 00:22:42,904
I saw you go back later and
buy Brucey some ice cream.
494
00:22:42,928 --> 00:22:44,795
Small cone.
495
00:22:46,065 --> 00:22:48,577
Don't try to kid me, Alex.
496
00:22:48,601 --> 00:22:50,545
Underneath that
huffing and puffing,
497
00:22:50,569 --> 00:22:52,915
you've got a big
heart, and you know it.
498
00:22:52,939 --> 00:22:55,851
Jennifer, will you...?
Will you keep quiet?
499
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:57,515
I don't want that
stuff getting out.
500
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,315
Look, all I'm asking is that
you never sell yourself short.
501
00:23:06,985 --> 00:23:11,165
You know, you have the potential
to be anything you wanna be.
502
00:23:11,189 --> 00:23:13,256
Promise me you'll try.
503
00:23:15,127 --> 00:23:16,827
I promise.
504
00:23:22,267 --> 00:23:25,102
Come on, I'll buy
you an ice cream.
