00:09:00,823 --> 00:09:03,023
Rally around for Wright, girls!
Boom, chicka...
177
00:09:04,594 --> 00:09:07,595
That isn't funny, Mother.
178
00:09:07,597 --> 00:09:10,198
On the contrary,
it's hysterical.
179
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,735
What was that incantation
you were gyrating through?
180
00:09:14,737 --> 00:09:16,904
That isn't an incantation.
It's a cheer.
181
00:09:16,906 --> 00:09:19,007
What does it do?
It doesn't do anything.
182
00:09:19,009 --> 00:09:20,375
Then why were you doing it?
183
00:09:20,377 --> 00:09:22,676
Because you see, Mother, in...
184
00:09:22,678 --> 00:09:23,844
[SIGHS]
185
00:09:23,846 --> 00:09:25,513
Never mind.
You wouldn't understand.
186
00:09:25,515 --> 00:09:27,748
Oh, please, Samantha.
187
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:29,150
Every time I see you,
188
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:31,652
you seem to be getting
more and more confused.
189
00:09:31,654 --> 00:09:33,388
I'm going to a political
rally tonight.
190
00:09:33,390 --> 00:09:34,889
What's so confusing about that?
191
00:09:34,891 --> 00:09:36,590
Politics?
Mm-hmm.
192
00:09:36,592 --> 00:09:37,691
[LAUGHS]
193
00:09:37,693 --> 00:09:39,227
You, in politics?
194
00:09:39,229 --> 00:09:40,928
Well, you needn't laugh.
195
00:09:40,930 --> 00:09:43,097
Politics is a very
serious business.
196
00:09:43,099 --> 00:09:45,400
Only to politicians,
my dear child.
197
00:09:45,402 --> 00:09:47,968
My husband happens to be
very proud of me.
198
00:09:47,970 --> 00:09:49,303
For what?
199
00:09:49,305 --> 00:09:50,738
For taking a position.
200
00:09:50,740 --> 00:09:54,042
I don't know what you're talking
about, and neither do you.
201
00:09:55,645 --> 00:09:57,445
You know,
it surprises me sometimes
202
00:09:57,447 --> 00:09:58,979
how unaware you can be
203
00:09:58,981 --> 00:10:01,615
for having lived
as long as you have.
204
00:10:01,617 --> 00:10:04,452
Oh, don't be vulgar, Samantha.
205
00:10:04,454 --> 00:10:05,753
Well, it's true.
206
00:10:05,755 --> 00:10:07,988
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to go get ready.
207
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:11,526
I suppose all this
was Darwin's idea.
208
00:10:11,528 --> 00:10:16,564
Mother, Darwin's idea was that
man was descended from apes.
209
00:10:16,566 --> 00:10:18,566
This was my idea.
210
00:10:18,568 --> 00:10:20,968
Descended from the ape?
211
00:10:20,970 --> 00:10:22,203
Man?
212
00:10:22,205 --> 00:10:23,304
Mm-hmm.
213
00:10:23,306 --> 00:10:26,174
It's called
the theory of evolution.
214
00:10:29,345 --> 00:10:32,080
Pity to disillusion him.
215
00:10:32,082 --> 00:10:35,516
Other way around, actually.
216
00:10:38,188 --> 00:10:41,922
And it is no longer a secret,
my friends and fellow citizens,
217
00:10:41,924 --> 00:10:45,025
that John C. Cavanaugh
and his whole corrupt machine
218
00:10:45,027 --> 00:10:47,095
are on their way out.
219
00:10:47,097 --> 00:10:49,897
I know it and you know it,
220
00:10:49,899 --> 00:10:53,968
and what's more,
John C. Cavanaugh knows it!
221

[CHEERING]
222
00:11:00,443 --> 00:11:02,810
The people will be fooled
for just so long,
223
00:11:02,812 --> 00:11:05,179
and then they demand
a reckoning.
224
00:11:05,181 --> 00:11:07,014
Too many important issues
225
00:11:07,016 --> 00:11:09,650
have been pushed aside
unanswered.
226
00:11:09,652 --> 00:11:11,519
Too many real
and challenging problems
227
00:11:11,521 --> 00:11:14,155
have gone unheeded and unsolved.
228
00:11:14,157 --> 00:11:16,324
Too many private interests
have been served,
229
00:11:16,326 --> 00:11:19,627
and too many public interests
have gone unsatisfied.
230
00:11:19,629 --> 00:11:21,162
[CHEERING]
231
00:11:25,067 --> 00:11:27,535
I say to John C. Cavanaugh,
232
00:11:27,537 --> 00:11:31,572
we want answers,
and we want them now.
233
00:11:31,574 --> 00:11:33,807
Stand up with me
before the people,
234
00:11:33,809 --> 00:11:36,144
before all the people...
235
00:11:36,146 --> 00:11:39,413
and give me the answers
I want to ask in your behalf.

[CHEERING]
237
00:11:42,818 --> 00:11:45,153
Any time between now
and election day,
238
00:11:45,155 --> 00:11:46,887
I have offered to meet
with Mr. Cavanaugh
239
00:11:46,889 --> 00:11:48,322
in a television debate
240
00:11:48,324 --> 00:11:51,559
to discuss every issue
in the open,
241
00:11:51,561 --> 00:11:53,494
no punches pulled.
242
00:11:53,496 --> 00:11:55,963
And I mean every issue,
243
00:11:55,965 --> 00:11:57,698
including
the Morning Glory Circle
244
00:11:57,700 --> 00:11:59,580
water and storm drain project.
245
00:12:22,625 --> 00:12:25,859
Whoever delivered
Mr. Cavanaugh's message,
246
00:12:25,861 --> 00:12:28,362
you can tell him it'll
take more than an omelet
247
00:12:28,364 --> 00:12:31,165
to keep me off his back!
248
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:32,766
[CHEERING]
249
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,742
Abner, did you ever hear
such a wonderful speechmaker?
250
00:12:41,744 --> 00:12:43,744
Abner, did you ever?
251
00:12:43,746 --> 00:12:45,613
Abner! Abner!
252
00:12:47,450 --> 00:12:51,151
I can't hear a thing, Gladys.
I'm wearing earmuffs.
253
00:12:51,153 --> 00:12:53,887
You ready to go home?
My hands are freezing.
254
00:13:09,572 --> 00:13:12,139
I have just been handed
the late edition of The Gazette.
255
00:13:12,141 --> 00:13:14,775
The governor has ordered
a complete investigation
256
00:13:14,777 --> 00:13:17,612
of the water main
and storm drain project.
257
00:13:17,614 --> 00:13:19,580
What do you say to that,
Cavanaugh?
258
00:13:47,377 --> 00:13:49,277
It's only 10 seconds
to air time,
259
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:51,111
and Cavanaugh
hasn't shown up yet.
260
00:13:51,113 --> 00:13:52,813
You don't think he will, do you?
261
00:13:52,815 --> 00:13:55,149
I doubt it. I think
Ed's as good as elected.
262
00:13:58,187 --> 00:13:59,520
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.
263
00:13:59,522 --> 00:14:01,088
For the past two weeks,
264
00:14:01,090 --> 00:14:03,457
Councilman Cavanaugh
has ignored my invitation
265
00:14:03,459 --> 00:14:05,493
to appear with me
on tonight's program.
266
00:14:05,495 --> 00:14:07,795
The debate,
under these circumstances,
267
00:14:07,797 --> 00:14:09,664
would seem impossible,
268
00:14:09,666 --> 00:14:11,666
but, present or not,
269
00:14:11,668 --> 00:14:12,866
one day Mr. Cavanaugh
270
00:14:12,868 --> 00:14:15,469
will be forced to answer
these questions.
271
00:14:15,471 --> 00:14:16,704
One.
272
00:14:16,706 --> 00:14:20,274
Now that an investigation
is already underway,
273
00:14:20,276 --> 00:14:22,075
what excuse can he offer
274
00:14:22,077 --> 00:14:25,613
for an administration
corrupt with nepotism,
275
00:14:25,615 --> 00:14:27,881
graft and private interests?
276
00:14:27,883 --> 00:14:31,251
If we can take those allegations
one at a time, Mr. Wright,
277
00:14:31,253 --> 00:14:33,654
perhaps I can deal with them
to your satisfaction.
278
00:14:36,492 --> 00:14:39,327
Now, shall we go from
the beginning, Mr. Wright?
279
00:14:39,329 --> 00:14:41,595
You have, uh, accused me
280
00:14:41,597 --> 00:14:44,932
of nepotism, graft,
corruption and, uh...
281
00:14:44,934 --> 00:14:46,967
How did you put it...
Double talk.
282
00:14:46,969 --> 00:14:48,969
I've also been accused
283
00:14:48,971 --> 00:14:52,773
of blocking investigations
and obstructing justice.
284
00:14:52,775 --> 00:14:54,375
Perhaps we can clarify
285
00:14:54,377 --> 00:14:57,578
what seems to be the main issue
in this campaign.
286
00:14:57,580 --> 00:15:00,180
We would all appreciate that,
Mr. Cavanaugh.
287
00:15:00,182 --> 00:15:04,051
Fine. Now, let me not waste
any more of our viewers' time.
288
00:15:04,053 --> 00:15:05,553
Ladies and gentlemen,
289
00:15:05,555 --> 00:15:07,855
it is my pleasure to present
Mr. Merrill Sedgwick,
290
00:15:07,857 --> 00:15:09,490
who ironically enough
is here tonight
291
00:15:09,492 --> 00:15:11,158
at my opponent's instigation.
292
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,060
Mr. Sedgwick is from
the state capital,
293
00:15:13,062 --> 00:15:15,830
a member of the governor's
investigatory staff.
294
00:15:15,832 --> 00:15:19,266
Mr. Sedgwick,
Mr. Wright.
295
00:15:19,268 --> 00:15:22,169
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Sedgwick.
296
00:15:22,171 --> 00:15:23,838
We are honored
to welcome a member,
297
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,606
a distinguished member,
of the governor's committee
298
00:15:25,608 --> 00:15:27,941
to Morning Glory Circle.
299
00:15:27,943 --> 00:15:30,745
I've spent the past two weeks
300
00:15:30,747 --> 00:15:32,346
quietly investigating
301
00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:34,882
Morning Glory Circle's
new water system
302
00:15:34,884 --> 00:15:36,384
from stem to stern,
303
00:15:36,386 --> 00:15:38,719
and I have nothing but praise
304
00:15:38,721 --> 00:15:42,122
for its planning,
construction and materials.
305
00:15:42,124 --> 00:15:43,391
Moreover,
306
00:15:43,393 --> 00:15:46,727
I'm astonished
at the conservative low cost.
307
00:15:46,729 --> 00:15:50,731
This fine water system should
last for many, many years.
308
00:15:50,733 --> 00:15:53,734
It has my unqualified
endorsement.
309
00:15:53,736 --> 00:15:55,603
Thank you.
310
00:15:58,207 --> 00:15:59,740
My appreciation,
Mr. Wright,
311
00:15:59,742 --> 00:16:02,209
for this opportunity afforded me
312
00:16:02,211 --> 00:16:05,846
to, uh, set the record straight.
313
00:16:05,848 --> 00:16:08,516
Good night, my fellow citizens.

315
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:17,725
If I've said it once,
I've said it a thousand times.
316
00:16:17,727 --> 00:16:19,860
Women should not get
mixed up in politics.
317
00:16:19,862 --> 00:16:21,194
You never said it to me.
318
00:16:21,196 --> 00:16:22,396
Don't split hairs, Sam.
319
00:16:22,398 --> 00:16:24,231
The least you could've done
is found out
320
00:16:24,233 --> 00:16:26,033
if Ed Wright knew
what he was talking about
321
00:16:26,035 --> 00:16:27,835
before you dragged me
into this mess.
322
00:16:27,837 --> 00:16:30,070
I didn't drag you in, Darrin.
323
00:16:30,072 --> 00:16:32,072
Did I not come home a couple
of weeks ago
324
00:16:32,074 --> 00:16:33,674
and find my
living room full of people
325
00:16:33,676 --> 00:16:35,342
with women screaming,
"We are the bright girls!
326
00:16:35,344 --> 00:16:36,577
"Rally around for Wright, girls!
327
00:16:36,579 --> 00:16:38,278
Boom, chicka, chicka,
chicka, boom!"
328
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,649
I was only trying to be
part of the community.
329
00:16:41,651 --> 00:16:42,883
You said you were proud
330
00:16:42,885 --> 00:16:44,819
when I took an interest
in civic affairs.
331
00:16:44,821 --> 00:16:46,320
So I was wrong.
332
00:16:46,322 --> 00:16:49,323
I'm not so perfect that I can't
be wrong once in a while.
333
00:16:49,325 --> 00:16:50,524
The truth of the matter is,
334
00:16:50,526 --> 00:16:52,726
Cavanaugh trapped everybody
into making...
335
00:16:52,728 --> 00:16:54,361
Go ahead and say it.
336
00:16:54,363 --> 00:16:56,464
Making fools of themselves.
337
00:16:56,466 --> 00:16:58,966
And wait till they find out
about this downtown.
338
00:16:58,968 --> 00:17:01,702
I could be finished in the
advertising business like that!
339
00:17:01,704 --> 00:17:03,303
I don't see why.
340
00:17:03,305 --> 00:17:05,539
What if Cavanaugh should
decide to sue us for slander?
341
00:17:05,541 --> 00:17:07,641
What then?
He wouldn't do that!
342
00:17:07,643 --> 00:17:09,176
Why wouldn't he?
343
00:17:09,178 --> 00:17:11,445
We called him a thief,
didn't we? On television?
344
00:17:11,447 --> 00:17:12,646
And the state investigator
345
00:17:12,648 --> 00:17:14,715
proved that he was right
and Wright was wrong.
346
00:17:14,717 --> 00:17:17,852
Wright is not wrong.
Cavanaugh is just shrewd.
347
00:17:17,854 --> 00:17:19,119
You bet your life he's shrewd.
348
00:17:19,121 --> 00:17:20,621
He let us hinge
our entire campaign
349
00:17:20,623 --> 00:17:21,956
on that water project,
350
00:17:21,958 --> 00:17:24,992
knowing all the while it would
stand up under investigation.
351
00:17:24,994 --> 00:17:28,128
Everything else he's done
