2
00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:57,054
You know, I've seen him
do it a million times now,

3
00:00:57,122 --> 00:00:59,818
but I can't tell you
how he does it, Henry.

4
00:01:00,092 --> 00:01:01,559
The right-handed part.

5
00:01:01,793 --> 00:01:04,660
I can tell you a whole lot about what
he does with his left hand though.

6
00:01:04,763 --> 00:01:06,060
He's a genius with it.

7
00:01:07,099 --> 00:01:09,761
He might put that left hand
on your elbow

8
00:01:09,835 --> 00:01:12,463
or on your bicep,
like he's doing now.

9
00:01:12,571 --> 00:01:14,596
Very basic move.
He's interested in you.

10
00:01:14,906 --> 00:01:16,237
He's honored to meet you.

11
00:01:17,276 --> 00:01:20,973
If he gets any higher, if he gets
on your shoulder, like that,

12
00:01:21,613 --> 00:01:23,012
it's not as intimate.

13
00:01:23,448 --> 00:01:26,110
It means he'll share a laugh with you
or a secret, a light secret.

14
00:01:26,184 --> 00:01:27,913
Not a real one,
but very flattering.

15
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,987
If he doesn't know you that well and wants to
share something emotional with you,

16
00:01:31,323 --> 00:01:32,813
he'll lock you
in a two-hander.

17
00:01:32,924 --> 00:01:35,290
Well, you'll see when he
shakes hands with you, Henry.

18
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,588
Governor.

19
00:01:40,265 --> 00:01:43,132
- Governor Stanton, this is Henry Burton.
- Governor.

20
00:01:43,302 --> 00:01:45,463
I met your grandfather
when I was a boy.

21
00:01:45,804 --> 00:01:48,432
I hitchhiked to Washington
to hear him speak.

22
00:01:48,507 --> 00:01:50,975
- He was a great man.
- Thank you, sir.

23
00:01:51,943 --> 00:01:53,672
How are you?
Good to see you.

24
00:01:53,779 --> 00:01:56,009
He's really glad you're
coming on board. I can tell.

25
00:01:56,114 --> 00:01:58,173
I didn't say
I was coming on board.

26
00:01:58,283 --> 00:01:59,682
Did you tell him
I was coming on board?

27
00:01:59,818 --> 00:02:01,513
No, take it easy.

28
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:04,180
What is he doing here anyway?
He's a Southern governor nobody's heard of.

29
00:02:04,356 --> 00:02:06,847
Already you're sounding
like a campaign manager.

30
00:02:06,958 --> 00:02:10,121
- Howard. I said...
- I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

31
00:02:10,195 --> 00:02:14,495
If I told you Jack Stanton's here
'cause he's interested in adult literacy,

32
00:02:14,566 --> 00:02:15,999
you'd tell me
I was full of shit.

33
00:02:16,068 --> 00:02:17,057
Yes.

34
00:02:17,169 --> 00:02:19,967
Howard Ferguson, Henry Burton,
this is Marianne Walsh,

35
00:02:20,038 --> 00:02:22,666
the very special librarian
who's running these classes.

36
00:02:22,841 --> 00:02:25,867
Thank you, Governor Walsh...
Oh, Governor Stanton. I'm sorry.

37
00:02:27,579 --> 00:02:30,514
I'm a little nervous.
I'm sorry.

38
00:02:30,682 --> 00:02:35,642
If you'll walk with me,
I'll take you up to the library.

39
00:02:36,722 --> 00:02:38,713
The walls
are pretty bad,

40
00:02:38,890 --> 00:02:41,859
but the...
the library is much...

41
00:02:42,027 --> 00:02:43,892
- Better?
- Yes, yes.

42
00:02:44,062 --> 00:02:46,530
We're very proud
of the library.

43
00:02:46,698 --> 00:02:49,895
- How long ago did you start up this reading program?
- About three years ago.

44
00:02:50,068 --> 00:02:52,696
We have no money.
Very little money.

45
00:02:52,871 --> 00:02:56,034
It's the only reading program
like it in New York, that I know of.

46
00:02:56,108 --> 00:02:58,906
- Of course, there may be others, but I don't...
- Know of them.

47
00:03:00,512 --> 00:03:03,447
- Are you all right?
- Yes, I'm fine. Thank you.

48
00:03:03,615 --> 00:03:05,242
Yes.

49
00:03:05,517 --> 00:03:09,453
My name is Ruby. I'm a domestic.
I've been in this class two months.

50
00:03:09,621 --> 00:03:12,784
- Jack Mandela Washington. I'm a handyman.
- How are you, Jack?

51
00:03:12,958 --> 00:03:15,552
- Tawana Carter. I'm a waitress.
- Good to meet you, Tawana.

52
00:03:15,627 --> 00:03:17,925
Anthony Ramirez,
freelance carpenter.

53
00:03:18,029 --> 00:03:20,691
- Nice to meet you.
- Raymond Dominguez. I'm a truck driver.

54
00:03:20,866 --> 00:03:24,063
- I just wanted to say, welcome aboard.
- What? I'm not on board.

55
00:03:24,236 --> 00:03:26,067
- I just ca...
- Maria Lopez, waitress.

56
00:03:26,238 --> 00:03:28,263
- You're kidding too, right?
- Yeah.

57
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,568
Why don't you tell the governor
a little bit about yourself, Dewayne.

58
00:03:33,412 --> 00:03:36,108
I'm a...
I'm a short order chef.

59
00:03:36,281 --> 00:03:39,546
And until I come here,
I couldn't read a lick.

60
00:03:39,618 --> 00:03:41,085
Dewayne's dyslexic.

61
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,782
And they just kept
a-passin' me up...

62
00:03:44,956 --> 00:03:47,481
third grade, fourth grade.

63
00:03:48,727 --> 00:03:53,061
I just sit in the back
and stickin' to my own self.

64
00:03:53,231 --> 00:03:56,291
And it was like no one noticed.

65
00:03:56,468 --> 00:04:01,098
I go on all the ways through
and I graduated elementary school.

66
00:04:01,273 --> 00:04:04,265
And they sent me
to Ben Franklin.

67
00:04:04,443 --> 00:04:06,843
That's general studies.

68
00:04:07,012 --> 00:04:09,913
They could've sent me
to the Bronx Zoo.

69
00:04:10,081 --> 00:04:13,778
I mean, no one ever say,
Dewayne, you can't read.

70
00:04:13,952 --> 00:04:17,854
What you gonna do with your sorry ass?
Excuse me.

71
00:04:18,023 --> 00:04:21,584
Anyway, graduation come,
and my mama come.

72
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,752
She take the day off from the laundry
where she work at.

73
00:04:24,930 --> 00:04:27,091
So we're there, and...

74
00:04:27,265 --> 00:04:31,099
Dr. Dalembretti is calling out
the names on the diplomas,

75
00:04:31,269 --> 00:04:33,863
and, and...
and what each kid done.

76
00:04:34,039 --> 00:04:36,940
You know, like,
Sharonna Harris, honors.

77
00:04:37,108 --> 00:04:40,339
Tyrone Kirby,
Regents diploma.

78
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,541
And then...

79
00:04:44,282 --> 00:04:46,773
Then he come to my name,

80
00:04:46,952 --> 00:04:50,888
and he say
so everyone hear it...

81
00:04:53,058 --> 00:04:55,288
He said,
Dewayne Smith...

82
00:04:55,460 --> 00:04:58,020
receives certificate...

83
00:04:59,631 --> 00:05:01,360
of attendance.

84
00:05:03,635 --> 00:05:05,660
You could hear people buzzin'.

85
00:05:05,837 --> 00:05:07,964
I mean, a couple
of folks was laughin'.

86
00:05:08,139 --> 00:05:10,630
I gotta go up there
and get this.

87
00:05:10,809 --> 00:05:12,743
I gotta stand up there,

88
00:05:12,911 --> 00:05:15,402
just dyin',

89
00:05:15,580 --> 00:05:19,175
trying not to look
at anyone.

90
00:05:21,753 --> 00:05:24,051
Trying not to look
too stupid, you know?

91
00:05:26,358 --> 00:05:28,986
And Mama's sittin' out front.

92
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,152
She got her hat on.
She got her purse on her lap.

93
00:05:32,330 --> 00:05:37,495
And tears coming down
from behind her glasses...

94
00:05:37,669 --> 00:05:41,400
like someone...
like someone died.

95
00:05:55,587 --> 00:05:57,282
I wanna thank you...

96
00:05:57,455 --> 00:06:00,720
for sharing that
with us, Dewayne.

97
00:06:00,892 --> 00:06:03,884
I want to thank all of you
for having real courage.

98
00:06:04,763 --> 00:06:06,355
My Uncle Charlie...

99
00:06:07,899 --> 00:06:10,197
was a war hero,
World War II.

100
00:06:10,936 --> 00:06:14,531
He was sent to Iwo Jima,
where they raised the flag.

101
00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:18,234
He took out four machine-gun nests of Japs,
Japanese soldiers...

102
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:20,403
who had a squad
of his buddies pinned down.

103
00:06:20,712 --> 00:06:23,806
He had one grenade, his rifle,
his bayonet and his bare hands.

104
00:06:23,982 --> 00:06:26,041
- And he took 'em out.
- Shit.

105
00:06:27,085 --> 00:06:29,713
They gave him the Medal of Honor.
President Truman did.

106
00:06:29,888 --> 00:06:33,153
When he came home to Grace Junction,
they had a parade for him.

107
00:06:33,258 --> 00:06:35,818
The town fathers came to my parents'
house and said to him,

108
00:06:35,927 --> 00:06:38,760
Charlie, what you got in mind
for yourself now?

109
00:06:38,930 --> 00:06:40,727
Charlie said
he didn't know.

110
00:06:40,899 --> 00:06:44,562
The mayor said, maybe you'd like a full
scholarship to the state university.

111
00:06:44,636 --> 00:06:46,103
The banker said
maybe Charlie didn't want

112
00:06:46,171 --> 00:06:48,332
to go back to school
after all he'd been through.

113
00:06:48,740 --> 00:06:51,732
Maybe he'd like a management job,
a big future at the bank.

114
00:06:51,910 --> 00:06:56,904
The sawmill owner said, you may not want
to be cooped up in a school or a bank.

115
00:06:57,082 --> 00:07:00,108
Come manage my crew.
You know what?

116
00:07:00,285 --> 00:07:02,310
Damned if Charlie
didn't turn 'em all down.

117
00:07:02,754 --> 00:07:05,314
- What'd he do?
- Nothin'.

118
00:07:05,690 --> 00:07:08,488
He just laid down on his couch
and smoked his Luckies.

119
00:07:08,660 --> 00:07:10,184
You couldn't get him
off that couch.

120
00:07:10,362 --> 00:07:14,492
- Was he messed up in the head from the war?
- No.

121
00:07:14,666 --> 00:07:17,100
It was just
that he couldn't read.

122
00:07:17,335 --> 00:07:20,702
He was embarrassed and
didn't want to tell anyone.

123
00:07:20,872 --> 00:07:23,807
He had the courage to win
the Congressional Medal of Honor,

124
00:07:23,975 --> 00:07:27,968
but he didn't have the courage to do
what each and every one of you is doing here.

125
00:07:28,146 --> 00:07:31,343
He didn't have the courage to admit
he needed help and get it.

126
00:07:31,516 --> 00:07:35,111
I understand what you're doing,
appreciate it, and honor your commitment.

127
00:07:35,286 --> 00:07:40,349
People say, Jack, why do you spend
so much time and effort on adult literacy?

128
00:07:40,525 --> 00:07:42,618
And I say to them...

129
00:07:43,862 --> 00:07:46,524
I say to them, because...

130
00:07:46,698 --> 00:07:49,166
it gives me a chance
to see courage.

131
00:07:51,136 --> 00:07:52,831
I want to thank you.

132
00:07:52,904 --> 00:07:56,704
I want to thank you for allowing me
to visit here today.

133
00:08:00,578 --> 00:08:03,843
Thank you, Governor.

134
00:08:09,554 --> 00:08:11,419
Let's get him out of here.

135
00:08:12,490 --> 00:08:16,221
- He likes it.
- Governor Stanton.

136
00:08:16,394 --> 00:08:18,521
I want to thank you personally
for coming.

137
00:08:19,064 --> 00:08:20,497
I will be damned.

138
00:08:20,565 --> 00:08:22,692
Because I'm...
Sorry.

139
00:08:22,867 --> 00:08:25,893
Can I help you?
You should have those shoes checked.

140
00:08:26,071 --> 00:08:28,039
If there's anything...

141
00:08:32,243 --> 00:08:35,440
- You're gonna go work for him, aren't you?
- No, I am not.

142
00:08:35,547 --> 00:08:36,912
I'm gonna meet him
at his suite

143
00:08:37,015 --> 00:08:38,448
in the Sherry-Netherland
so we can talk.

144
00:08:38,616 --> 00:08:42,552
- About what?
- Probably about going to work for him.

145
00:08:42,721 --> 00:08:46,418
How can you walk out on Adam Larkin
and get into bed with some cracker...

146
00:08:46,524 --> 00:08:49,186
- I'm not getting into bed...
- Who hasn't done piss for blacks in his state?

147
00:08:49,260 --> 00:08:51,592
- I could say the same about Adam Larkin.
- But he will.

148
00:08:51,696 --> 00:08:54,563
He has to bide his time.
He's a black congressman.

149
00:08:54,733 --> 00:08:57,566
I don't like Larkin.
I didn't like working for him.

150
00:08:57,736 --> 00:08:59,431
I don't know what
Stanton wants, but...

151
00:08:59,537 --> 00:09:00,526
Well, I do.

152
00:09:00,605 --> 00:09:02,800
Stanton wants to use the grandson
of a civil rights leader,

153
00:09:02,907 --> 00:09:05,740
a black man in politics,
as a vote getter.

154
00:09:05,810 --> 00:09:08,643
That's hilarious. And you tell me
you have no sense of humor.

155
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,075
Put a black man on the team,
really roll in those votes.

156
00:09:11,149 --> 00:09:13,777
That's why there are so many black men
running the country.

157
00:09:13,885 --> 00:09:17,377
If you're so upset about politics,
come work at The Black Advocate.

158
00:09:17,555 --> 00:09:19,250
We're never disillusioned.

159
00:09:19,424 --> 00:09:21,221
Would you hand me
that tie on the headboard?

160
00:09:21,292 --> 00:09:22,884
Get your own damn tie.

161
00:09:23,795 --> 00:09:26,559
No tie. No suit.

162
00:09:26,731 --> 00:09:29,564
Just leather jacket cool.
All right.

163
00:09:29,667 --> 00:09:32,932
I'll be back in two hours, and then
we can talk about The Black Advocate.

164
00:09:33,104 --> 00:09:37,063
Okay? Come on, don't be mad.
Co...

165
00:09:37,242 --> 00:09:40,973
Okay, be mad, but only for two hours,
and wait up for me.

166
00:09:43,681 --> 00:09:46,912
Oh, my God. My boy.

167
00:09:47,085 --> 00:09:49,679
Henry Burton,
I am mighty honored.

168
00:09:49,854 --> 00:09:52,618
I'm Arlen Sporken,
the governor's media consultant.

169
00:09:52,791 --> 00:09:54,952
- Hey, Henry.
- Hi.

170
00:09:55,126 --> 00:09:57,185
- Nonfat caffeine?
- No, thank you.

171
00:09:57,362 --> 00:10:00,456
- I am just delighted that you're on board.
- No.

172
00:10:00,532 --> 00:10:02,432
Get me one of
those sandwiches.

173
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:05,196
- Only if you pinch my cheek and call me sugar.
- I'll get it.

174
00:10:05,370 --> 00:10:08,703
- We're gonna win this thing. Isn't that right, Arlen?
- Absolutely.

175
00:10:08,873 --> 00:10:10,636
The big question is Ozio.

176
00:10:10,809 --> 00:10:14,540
- You think he's got the "cagones" to run?
- Cojones.

177
00:10:14,712 --> 00:10:18,546
And I don't know Ozio well enough
to judge his cojones.

178
00:10:18,716 --> 00:10:22,379
They're big but they're glass.
Hey, there, Henry.

179
00:10:22,554 --> 00:10:24,647
Governor Stanton,
it's nice to...

180
00:10:24,722 --> 00:10:27,816
- You remember Miss Walsh?
- I... Oh, I'm sorry.

181
00:10:27,892 --> 00:10:30,326
- You all right, darlin'?
- Thank you.

182
00:10:30,395 --> 00:10:32,556
- Thank you.
- For this...

183
00:10:32,664 --> 00:10:35,292
- opportunity to discuss the...
- The program.

184
00:10:35,466 --> 00:10:37,525
That's a great program.
Don't you think?

185
00:10:37,635 --> 00:10:40,035
- Yes, excellent program.
- Excuse me. If I could just...

186
00:10:42,073 --> 00:10:45,236
- Thank you very much.
- You take up what we talked about to the board.

187
00:10:45,343 --> 00:10:48,870
Oh, yes, I will.
I'll just see my way out.

188
00:10:48,980 --> 00:10:52,074
- Thank you. Good-bye.
- Bye-bye, now.

189
00:10:52,517 --> 00:10:55,247
Miss Walsh is on the regional
board of the Teachers Union.

190
00:10:55,420 --> 00:10:57,752
Ah, a teacher and a librarian.

191
00:10:57,922 --> 00:10:59,355
It's the missus.

192
00:11:02,427 --> 00:11:03,758
Hi, darlin'.

193
00:11:04,395 --> 00:11:06,761
Oh, oh, listen, honey,
I'm sorry.

194
00:11:06,931 --> 00:11:08,762
I'm...
Well, we got stuck here.

195
00:11:08,933 --> 00:11:11,731
But great news, honey. We had
real progress with the teachers.

196
00:11:12,937 --> 00:11:16,270
Tonight? Are you sure?
I'm so sorry, honey.

197
00:11:16,374 --> 00:11:18,865
Charlie, did you know we were supposed
to meet with that guy

198
00:11:18,943 --> 00:11:21,605
from the Portsmouth
Democratic Committee?

199
00:11:21,779 --> 00:11:23,610
Well, goddamn it, Charlie.

200
00:11:23,781 --> 00:11:24,770
Now, honey.

201
00:11:24,883 --> 00:11:27,374
Are you Uncle Charlie,
the Medal of Honor winner?

202
00:11:27,452 --> 00:11:31,218
Well, I'm Uncle Charlie and whatever
else he says. He's the master.

203
00:11:32,090 --> 00:11:34,786
If you just stop popping my eardrum,
I'll leave right now.

204
00:11:35,260 --> 00:11:37,956
No, please, don't...
Susan, don't go.

205
00:11:38,129 --> 00:11:41,121
Susan, just stay...

206
00:11:43,301 --> 00:11:45,360
We'd better go.

207
00:11:45,536 --> 00:11:47,868
- All right. Where's the plane?
- Teterboro.

208
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:50,769
Shit. All the way out there?
All right. Let's go.

209
00:11:50,942 --> 00:11:53,934
Arlen, see you in DC.
Daisy, come with Howard tomorrow.

210
00:11:54,045 --> 00:11:56,809
Henry, Mitch, Charlie,
let's go, let's go.

211
00:11:56,915 --> 00:12:00,282
- Go? I just came here to talk to you about...
- Talk on the plane.

212
00:12:00,451 --> 00:12:02,646
- It's just New Hampshire.
- I teach... Sorry.

213
00:12:02,820 --> 00:12:04,811
I teach classes
in the morning.

214
00:12:04,989 --> 00:12:06,820
Call in sick.
The kids won't mind.

215
00:12:06,991 --> 00:12:09,050
I... Do I have time
for a phone call?

216
00:12:09,227 --> 00:12:12,162
Well, when we get there.
Now, if we're gonna talk, let's talk.

217
00:12:22,006 --> 00:12:23,564
Governor?

218
00:12:32,684 --> 00:12:34,117
Hi, hon.

219
00:12:37,021 --> 00:12:39,581
- This is Henry Burton. This is my wife Susan.
- Hello.

220
00:12:39,757 --> 00:12:42,954
I met you 25 years ago
at your grandfather's in Oak Bluffs.

221
00:12:43,127 --> 00:12:45,857
You were running under the sprinkler
in little wet underpants.

222
00:12:46,030 --> 00:12:48,464
- Your grandfather was a great man.
- Oh, thank you.

223
00:12:48,633 --> 00:12:50,498
Jack Stanton could also
be a great man,

224
00:12:50,668 --> 00:12:54,104
if he wasn't such a faithless, thoughtless,
disorganized, undisciplined shit.

225
00:12:54,272 --> 00:12:57,002
- Honey, why are you making such a big deal of this?
- Because it is big.

226
00:12:57,175 --> 00:13:00,440
First impressions count, asshole.
Oh, hello, this is New Hampshire.

227
00:13:00,611 --> 00:13:03,978
These people don't know you.
They probably don't even remember your state.

228
00:13:04,148 --> 00:13:06,616
They're waiting to be swept off
their feet by Orlando Ozio,

229
00:13:06,684 --> 00:13:07,844
who's governor
of a real state.

230
00:13:07,952 --> 00:13:09,943
They came to meet you,
and you didn't show.

231
00:13:10,021 --> 00:13:14,048
I talked to the head of the Portsmouth
Democratic Party about fly-fishing...

232
00:13:14,225 --> 00:13:16,284
for an hour and 45 minutes.

233
00:13:16,461 --> 00:13:19,055
Do you realize how...

234
00:13:19,230 --> 00:13:22,688
indescribably boring
fly-fishing is?

235
00:13:22,867 --> 00:13:27,236
- Do you realize I'm now committed to doing this...
- I'm sorry.

236
00:13:27,405 --> 00:13:32,001
This thing with him. I'm going fly-fishing
because of you, asshole!

237
00:13:32,176 --> 00:13:35,839
You can't... It's not funny.
You can't do this to me, Jack.

238
00:13:35,913 --> 00:13:37,346
We've only been
at this a month,

239
00:13:37,415 --> 00:13:40,145
and already you're fucking up
in your old fucked-up way.

240
00:13:40,251 --> 00:13:42,412
The only shot
we have here...

241
00:13:42,587 --> 00:13:44,919
The only shot
is to be perfect.

242
00:13:45,089 --> 00:13:47,580
Barely adequate
won't swing it.

243
00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:50,387
No, Jack,
you can't blow off...

244
00:13:50,561 --> 00:13:52,722
- <i>Primrose Lane</i>
- Jack.

245
00:13:52,897 --> 00:13:56,560
<i>Life's a holiday
on Primrose Lane</i>

246
00:13:56,734 --> 00:14:00,363
<i>When I'm walking down
that Primrose Lane</i>

247
00:14:00,538 --> 00:14:03,405
- <i>With you</i>
- You're not funny.

248
00:14:04,275 --> 00:14:06,573
I have
got to find a phone.

249
00:14:06,744 --> 00:14:08,336
When we get back
to the apartment.

250
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:12,615
Honey, this was
so great today,

251
00:14:12,784 --> 00:14:14,547
this readin' program.

252
00:14:14,619 --> 00:14:16,177
You should have seen
the people,

253
00:14:16,254 --> 00:14:17,619
and the teacher was...

254
00:14:17,722 --> 00:14:19,553
Well, she was
just inspirational.

255
00:14:19,624 --> 00:14:20,613
Gimme a break.

256
00:14:20,725 --> 00:14:22,886
Tell me how good the curriculum was,
not the teacher.

257
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,518
We can replicate
a curriculum.

258
00:14:24,595 --> 00:14:27,086
You can't sell a program
without a good teacher.

259
00:14:27,198 --> 00:14:29,098
This is an argument
I always win, Henry.

260
00:14:29,267 --> 00:14:31,235
Was the teacher
that inspirational?

261
00:14:32,537 --> 00:14:34,266
Well, she...

262
00:14:39,377 --> 00:14:43,313
She was a pretty typical school board
bureaucrat, I thought.

263
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,618
We got it
on a six-month sublet.

264
00:14:51,789 --> 00:14:54,223
It's better than a hotel.
Cheaper too.

265
00:14:54,392 --> 00:14:56,587
We can keep clothes
and store stuff.

266
00:14:56,761 --> 00:14:59,594
- We have privacy.
- I don't give a shit about privacy.

267
00:14:59,764 --> 00:15:02,562
I'm here to get known,
and you can't get known in private.

268
00:15:02,733 --> 00:15:05,327
This is more like the end of a campaign
than the beginning.

269
00:15:05,503 --> 00:15:08,495
Goddamn it, Charlie!
No cable?

270
00:15:08,673 --> 00:15:10,265
You gotta be kiddin', man.

271
00:15:10,341 --> 00:15:11,467
You can't run
for the president

272
00:15:11,576 --> 00:15:13,441
of the United-fucking-States
without CNN!

273
00:15:13,511 --> 00:15:14,500
Do you have any bags?

274
00:15:14,612 --> 00:15:16,603
I didn't expect to come.
I'm leaving in the morning.

275
00:15:16,781 --> 00:15:18,442
- How about something to eat?
- That'd be great.

276
00:15:18,516 --> 00:15:21,349
This is the worst two-bit, candy-assed,
goddamn place I've ever seen!

277
00:15:21,452 --> 00:15:22,942
Hey! Darling.

278
00:15:24,155 --> 00:15:28,319
It's 4:00 in the morning. This is not
how you want to be introduced to the neighbors.

279
00:15:28,826 --> 00:15:30,919
Come on, Henry.
I'll make you some tea.

280
00:15:31,095 --> 00:15:34,428
Yeah, well, I'm out
of here tomorrow morning.

281
00:15:34,599 --> 00:15:36,999
I know we gotta go cheap,
but not this cheap.

282
00:15:37,335 --> 00:15:38,597
Not loser cheap.

283
00:15:48,045 --> 00:15:50,843
- So why did you quit Larkin?
- What?

284
00:15:51,782 --> 00:15:54,808
Why did you stop working for Adam Larkin?
Careful, it's hot.

285
00:15:55,153 --> 00:15:58,213
Thank you.
Well, I just...

286
00:15:58,956 --> 00:16:02,392
It's all right. I know you can't talk
about your old boss to your new boss.

287
00:16:02,860 --> 00:16:04,725
I haven't got
a new boss yet.

288
00:16:08,065 --> 00:16:11,501
Larkin's very different
from Jack. Very cool.

289
00:16:12,570 --> 00:16:14,731
Never blinks.

290
00:16:14,906 --> 00:16:16,806
A pro.

291
00:16:18,409 --> 00:16:20,843
He would never swallow tea
without testing it.

292
00:16:24,015 --> 00:16:28,475
That's the real thing experience
teaches you. Isn't it?

293
00:16:29,654 --> 00:16:31,144
How not to get burned.

294
00:16:31,222 --> 00:16:33,315
Do you think people
ever learn that?

295
00:16:33,391 --> 00:16:34,483
Not the best people.

296
00:16:52,276 --> 00:16:56,337
He...
Adam taught me a lot, but...

297
00:16:57,215 --> 00:16:58,773
it was all the same.

298
00:16:58,883 --> 00:17:00,248
He never surprised me.

299
00:17:00,751 --> 00:17:04,016
Almost no one stepped up and voted
with us because it was right.

300
00:17:04,188 --> 00:17:05,450
They always asked for a lulu.

301
00:17:06,224 --> 00:17:07,213
Lulu?

302
00:17:08,459 --> 00:17:11,189
Yeah. It's New York
for artificial sweeteners.

303
00:17:13,097 --> 00:17:16,965
Anyway, we'd win,
and then we'd be gutted in the Senate.

304
00:17:17,134 --> 00:17:18,465
We'd settle
for their version,

305
00:17:18,569 --> 00:17:20,230
then the White House
would veto,

306
00:17:20,304 --> 00:17:22,397
which we knew
from the start.

307
00:17:22,573 --> 00:17:26,304
Then what? We'd celebrate
our great moral victory.

308
00:17:26,477 --> 00:17:27,944
We forced a veto.

309
00:17:29,814 --> 00:17:31,145
So you dropped out?

310
00:17:33,150 --> 00:17:34,242
Yeah.

311
00:17:36,487 --> 00:17:37,954
So why are you here?

312
00:17:41,592 --> 00:17:43,082
- I...
- Tell me.

313
00:17:44,428 --> 00:17:46,055
Tell me.

314
00:17:47,498 --> 00:17:49,056
It's 4:00 in the morning.

315
00:17:50,101 --> 00:17:51,762
Let's just tell the truth.

316
00:17:56,474 --> 00:17:57,736
Okay. Well...

317
00:17:58,809 --> 00:18:01,403
I was always curious
about how it would be...

318
00:18:01,479 --> 00:18:05,472
to work with someone
who actually cared about...

319
00:18:06,517 --> 00:18:08,417
I mean,

320
00:18:08,586 --> 00:18:11,180
it couldn't always have been
the way it is now.

321
00:18:11,289 --> 00:18:13,689
It must have been different
when my grandfather was alive.

322
00:18:13,791 --> 00:18:14,985
Hey, you were there.

323
00:18:15,092 --> 00:18:17,253
You had Kennedy. I didn't.

324
00:18:17,428 --> 00:18:21,194
I've never heard a president use words
like destiny and sacrifice

325
00:18:21,365 --> 00:18:23,526
without thinking, bullshit.

326
00:18:24,802 --> 00:18:27,862
And okay, maybe it was
bullshit with Kennedy too,

327
00:18:28,039 --> 00:18:30,132
but...

328
00:18:30,207 --> 00:18:32,801
but people believed it.

329
00:18:34,011 --> 00:18:36,309
And I guess...

330
00:18:37,014 --> 00:18:38,038
that's what I want.

331
00:18:38,149 --> 00:18:39,878
I want to believe it.

332
00:18:40,484 --> 00:18:44,011
I want to be a part
of something that's history.

333
00:18:47,058 --> 00:18:48,958
I bet this is
the longest answer

334
00:18:49,026 --> 00:18:51,324
to a five-word question
you have ever gotten.

335
00:18:52,563 --> 00:18:54,394
No, it isn't.

336
00:18:54,565 --> 00:18:57,398
The longest answer to a five-word question
I've ever gotten...

337
00:18:57,568 --> 00:19:00,059
is the answer to,
do you do much fly-fishing?

338
00:19:02,239 --> 00:19:04,070
It's a good answer,
Henry.

339
00:19:05,910 --> 00:19:07,969
History's what
we're about too.

340
00:19:09,580 --> 00:19:11,138
What else is there?

341
00:19:14,085 --> 00:19:17,714
March, some guy about an automobile
insurance scam on line three.

342
00:19:17,888 --> 00:19:19,584
Thanks.

343
00:19:20,758 --> 00:19:22,589
Yes?

344
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,557
It's me.
Please don't hang up again.

345
00:19:24,729 --> 00:19:27,220
- Fuck you.
- March, I'm in New Hampshire in a coffee shop.

346
00:19:27,331 --> 00:19:30,323
I don't know when I'll get to the next phone.
Could you just listen for two minutes?

347
00:19:30,835 --> 00:19:34,168
Listen, I think this guy
could be the real thing.

348
00:19:34,338 --> 00:19:36,738
This guy could be so incredible,
you'd end up working for him.

349
00:19:36,907 --> 00:19:40,070
This son of a bitch
actually likes these people.

350
00:19:40,211 --> 00:19:41,610
He's worth the risk.
This guy could really do...

351
00:19:41,712 --> 00:19:42,701
Henry, hey.

352
00:19:42,780 --> 00:19:45,578
Help me get him outta here.
We have a fund-raiser in 20 minutes.

353
00:19:45,683 --> 00:19:48,447
You bastard.
I waited for you all night.

354
00:19:48,552 --> 00:19:50,019
I can explain about that.

355
00:19:52,957 --> 00:19:56,393
- I bought you some stuff at the drug store.
- No, I can't.

356
00:19:56,460 --> 00:19:58,291
I can't go to Mammoth Falls
without clothes.

357
00:19:58,929 --> 00:20:02,194
Give me your keys. I'll have Daisy pack
things, bring them on Wednesday.

358
00:20:02,633 --> 00:20:05,625
Why can't I pack things
and bring 'em on Wednesday?

359
00:20:05,803 --> 00:20:07,862
Because by Wednesday
you'll be in Mississippi.

360
00:20:07,938 --> 00:20:11,237
We have to set up the campaign headquarters
before we leave. So keys, please.

361
00:20:11,308 --> 00:20:12,297
Hey.

362
00:20:13,144 --> 00:20:15,544
I thought you were supposed
to be telling us to hurry.

363
00:20:15,613 --> 00:20:17,046
I...

364
00:20:18,816 --> 00:20:21,216
Susan...
Mrs. Stanton, I'm not sure.

365
00:20:21,385 --> 00:20:23,376
I mean, I don't know.

366
00:20:23,554 --> 00:20:26,990
I've never helped run
a presidential campaign before.

367
00:20:27,158 --> 00:20:29,490
Well, neither have we,

368
00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:31,992
but that's how history
is made, Henry...

369
00:20:32,897 --> 00:20:34,159
by the first-timers.

370
00:20:34,265 --> 00:20:38,133
We are beginning our
pre-boarding procedure.

371
00:20:41,806 --> 00:20:44,331
Are you...

372
00:20:44,508 --> 00:20:46,840
Is this...

373
00:20:46,944 --> 00:20:49,674
Where are
the state party people?

374
00:20:49,847 --> 00:20:53,806
They're tied up with
the congressional races. We're it.

375
00:20:55,453 --> 00:20:57,921
All right. All right.

376
00:20:58,088 --> 00:21:00,955
Okay, get me the national
committee mailing lists...

377
00:21:01,125 --> 00:21:03,457
of every donor
since the beginning of time.

378
00:21:03,527 --> 00:21:05,518
Also, I need
a complete database

379
00:21:05,629 --> 00:21:08,154
of voting records
on every possible candidate,

380
00:21:08,332 --> 00:21:11,028
so we can set up a rapid response
negative operation.

381
00:21:11,202 --> 00:21:13,432
How do we do that, honey?

382
00:21:14,104 --> 00:21:15,935
Don't you...

383
00:21:16,106 --> 00:21:19,371
Don't any of you have
any special skills?

384
00:21:20,177 --> 00:21:21,974
I speak Hebrew.

385
00:21:25,182 --> 00:21:26,171
Great.

386
00:21:26,350 --> 00:21:29,547
Now double-click on Pro-Choice,
Ella Louise.

387
00:21:29,653 --> 00:21:30,847
All right.

388
00:21:30,955 --> 00:21:32,889
Now call up
the Harris Vote.

389
00:21:32,990 --> 00:21:34,548
- Like this?
- No! No!

390
00:21:37,127 --> 00:21:39,027
Why can't I learn this?

391
00:21:39,330 --> 00:21:42,788
This announcement is for the candidate
briefing on the 23rd.

392
00:21:42,967 --> 00:21:45,629
Put it on 500 leaflets.

393
00:21:45,836 --> 00:21:47,030
And then what?

394
00:21:48,305 --> 00:21:51,172
Hand them out.

395
00:21:51,475 --> 00:21:54,069
<i>Goin' places
that I've never been</i>

396
00:21:56,413 --> 00:22:00,144
Call only the Orthodox
and conservative synagogues.

397
00:22:00,317 --> 00:22:03,184
Speak only to the rabbis
and start off in Hebrew.

398
00:22:03,254 --> 00:22:04,846
- Check.
- <i>On the road again</i>

399
00:22:04,922 --> 00:22:06,253
- How's that?
- Fantastic.

400
00:22:06,357 --> 00:22:07,824
Okay, we need
to file that with...

401
00:22:10,227 --> 00:22:11,558
Excuse me.

402
00:22:12,830 --> 00:22:14,821
- We need your vote.
- Terry.

403
00:22:14,899 --> 00:22:17,231
- Will you give them to your friends?
- Terry!

404
00:22:17,401 --> 00:22:18,663
- Terry.
- Thank you. Bye!

405
00:22:20,571 --> 00:22:23,438
Look, just hold out the leaflets
for people. Don't stalk them.

406
00:22:23,607 --> 00:22:25,199
Okay.

407
00:22:25,276 --> 00:22:26,808
Hey, Henry.

408
00:22:29,613 --> 00:22:32,343
- How y'all doing?
- We're coming along.

409
00:22:32,516 --> 00:22:35,110
We don't have
much staff yet, do we?

410
00:22:35,286 --> 00:22:37,083
No. But what we have
is choice.

411
00:22:37,187 --> 00:22:40,588
I want you to meet the most brilliant
political strategist in the party.

412
00:22:40,758 --> 00:22:43,226
This is Richard Jemmons.
This is my right arm, Henry Burton.

413
00:22:43,294 --> 00:22:44,727
Hi.

414
00:22:44,795 --> 00:22:46,695
I sure admired
your granddaddy.

415
00:22:46,864 --> 00:22:48,923
- Great.
- Henry.

416
00:22:49,099 --> 00:22:51,431
I'll pick you up for dinner around 7:00 p.m.
We can talk a little policy.

417
00:22:51,535 --> 00:22:52,524
Right.

418
00:22:52,603 --> 00:22:54,696
Nice meetin' you, Henry.
Say hi to Winona for me.

419
00:22:54,772 --> 00:22:57,297
- Who?
- He means Jennifer Rogers.

420
00:22:57,408 --> 00:22:59,308
Every girl Richard falls for
is Winona Ryder to him.

421
00:23:00,144 --> 00:23:02,374
Oh, that's...

422
00:23:02,813 --> 00:23:04,144
Psychotic.

423
00:23:04,281 --> 00:23:06,112
<i>On the road again</i>

424
00:23:06,283 --> 00:23:10,151
<i>Like a band of gypsies
we go down the highway</i>

425
00:23:10,287 --> 00:23:12,812
<i>We're the best of friends</i>

426
00:23:12,990 --> 00:23:14,651
Does that smell good,
or what?

427
00:23:14,825 --> 00:23:17,555
- Hey, Gov!
- Hey! How y'all doin'?

428
00:23:17,628 --> 00:23:18,993
Come on over here.

429
00:23:20,998 --> 00:23:22,431
How's the food?

430
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,295
- Willie.
- Hi, honey.

431
00:23:24,401 --> 00:23:26,096
I'm glad you made it.
Hi.

432
00:23:26,971 --> 00:23:29,269
- It smells so good.
- Hey, good.

433
00:23:29,340 --> 00:23:31,331
We got it
all set up for you.

434
00:23:31,575 --> 00:23:33,805
- Yeah!
- He got chicken.

435
00:23:33,978 --> 00:23:36,970
- Hey, Will! How's business?
- Hey, Gov.

436
00:23:37,147 --> 00:23:40,082
- Hey, Amalee, the gov's here.
- It's hot.

437
00:23:40,250 --> 00:23:43,777
- You got your mojo workin' tonight?
- Ain't no end to it.

438
00:23:43,954 --> 00:23:45,683
- My friend!
- Loretta!

439
00:23:45,856 --> 00:23:48,324
- Hi, Governor. How're you doin'?
- Hey, Lo!

440
00:23:48,425 --> 00:23:50,188
Good to see you.

441
00:23:50,361 --> 00:23:52,989
The gov's here!
How're you doin', now?

442
00:23:53,097 --> 00:23:55,327
- Hi. Henry Burton. Pleased to meet you.
- Good to meet you.

443
00:23:55,432 --> 00:23:57,161
Honey,
how's it goin'?

444
00:23:57,267 --> 00:24:00,361
I had to tell Jackie you were too busy
working for the folks to baby-sit.

445
00:24:00,537 --> 00:24:02,368
- He was not happy.
- Yes'm.

446
00:24:02,539 --> 00:24:05,201
- How're you doin'?
- Welcome.

447
00:24:05,376 --> 00:24:07,367
How're you doin', Will?

448
00:24:07,544 --> 00:24:10,513
Hey, not so good
since my mama died.

449
00:24:10,614 --> 00:24:14,641
- I miss her like a pain.
- You gotta let that happen.

450
00:24:14,818 --> 00:24:16,649
Your mama deserves it.

451
00:24:16,820 --> 00:24:19,721
Your pain will heal with time,
but you gotta give your mama her due.

452
00:24:19,890 --> 00:24:22,859
We gotta miss our mamas.
Ain't nobody gonna love us like our mamas.

453
00:24:23,027 --> 00:24:25,188
You still got your mama
with you, Henry?

454
00:24:25,295 --> 00:24:27,525
No, she's in Beverly Hills
with her second husband.

455
00:24:27,631 --> 00:24:30,532
- You're a lucky man.
- Thank you.

456
00:24:30,701 --> 00:24:33,363
The next time I see
my mama, she's blind.

457
00:24:34,405 --> 00:24:38,068
A year later, she's just got
one leg from diabetes.

458
00:24:38,242 --> 00:24:41,678
She could've done anything.
She could've been anything.

459
00:24:41,845 --> 00:24:43,574
God bless the mamas.

460
00:24:43,747 --> 00:24:46,238
My mama worked her whole life
and never asked for nothin'.

461
00:24:46,417 --> 00:24:48,317
Shit, my mama
raised seven children.

462
00:24:48,419 --> 00:24:50,649
If Ozio doesn't run,
we concentrate on New Hampshire.

463
00:24:50,721 --> 00:24:52,348
If he does,
we concentrate on the South.

464
00:24:52,423 --> 00:24:54,687
Ozio might wait
until New Hampshire.

465
00:24:54,758 --> 00:24:56,191
Shouldn't we wait
for the governor?

466
00:24:56,260 --> 00:24:58,922
This pertains to
how he's running the campaign.

467
00:24:59,596 --> 00:25:02,565
He's on a mama-thon.
That can go on all night in the South.

468
00:25:02,666 --> 00:25:03,758
We have to figure...

469
00:25:03,867 --> 00:25:06,335
My mama worked her
whole life for her family...

470
00:25:06,737 --> 00:25:09,228
and never did anything
for herself!

471
00:25:09,673 --> 00:25:13,734
Now they're cuttin' her up!
Cuttin' pieces out of her!

472
00:25:14,445 --> 00:25:16,276
Why'd that happen
to my mama?

473
00:25:16,380 --> 00:25:20,214
<i>I looked over Jordan
and what did I see</i>

474
00:25:20,284 --> 00:25:23,253
<i>Comin' for
to carry me home</i>

475
00:25:23,420 --> 00:25:26,287
You know what Richard's
favorite song is?

476
00:25:26,457 --> 00:25:30,723
I tell you that it is the most
American goddamn song that I can think of.

477
00:25:30,894 --> 00:25:32,418
A Southern governor wrote it.

478
00:25:32,529 --> 00:25:34,463
You know which one
I'm thinking of?

479
00:25:34,565 --> 00:25:37,033
<i>You are my sunshine</i>

480
00:25:37,101 --> 00:25:39,467
<i>My only sunshine</i>

481
00:25:39,636 --> 00:25:42,901
<i>You make me happy
when skies are gray</i>

482
00:25:42,973 --> 00:25:45,533
I'll be damned. I didn't know
a Southern governor wrote that.

483
00:25:45,609 --> 00:25:49,773
<i>You'll never know, dear,
how much I love you</i>

484
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:55,149
<i>Please don't take
my sunshine away</i>

485
00:25:55,319 --> 00:26:00,222
- <i>The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping</i>
- Come on, darlin'.

486
00:26:00,390 --> 00:26:05,487
<i>I dreamt I held you
in my arms</i>

487
00:26:05,662 --> 00:26:07,994
<i>When I awoke, dear</i>

488
00:26:08,165 --> 00:26:10,827
<i>I was mistaken</i>

489
00:26:11,001 --> 00:26:15,802
<i>And I hung my head
and cried</i>

490
00:26:15,973 --> 00:26:20,808
<i>You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine</i>

491
00:26:20,978 --> 00:26:25,972
<i>You make me happy
when skies are gray</i>

492
00:26:26,316 --> 00:26:31,344
<i>You'll never know, dear,
how much I love you</i>

493
00:26:31,522 --> 00:26:32,682
Henry, I have a printout

494
00:26:32,790 --> 00:26:34,621
of every grassroots
organization in New Hampshire.

495
00:26:34,691 --> 00:26:35,953
Great. Put it on my desk.

496
00:26:38,028 --> 00:26:40,428
These rabbis
are putty in my hands.

497
00:26:40,497 --> 00:26:41,589
Fantastic.

498
00:26:44,168 --> 00:26:46,261
I started out with 200.
I have one left.

499
00:26:46,336 --> 00:26:47,701
- You know how I did it?
- No.

500
00:26:47,805 --> 00:26:48,965
Look.

501
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:51,166
Terry, I am speechless.

502
00:26:51,708 --> 00:26:54,939
Well, I think my grandfather
would endorse the governor, Jesse.

503
00:26:55,445 --> 00:26:58,141
Even if you ran.
Okay. Yeah.

504
00:26:58,215 --> 00:27:00,206
You too, my friend.
All right.

505
00:27:00,384 --> 00:27:02,477
- Where the fuck are my clothes?
- Take it easy.

506
00:27:02,653 --> 00:27:05,645
Daisy got sidetracked. She's not a muffin.
She works for Sporken.

507
00:27:05,722 --> 00:27:08,782
What am I doing here?
Does this guy even have a chance in hell?

508
00:27:08,859 --> 00:27:10,156
I haven't canvassed
hell lately.

509
00:27:10,227 --> 00:27:13,219
If we only worked for guys who had a chance
in hell, we wouldn't have Richard.

510
00:27:14,198 --> 00:27:15,460
Oh, shit, he's bird-dogging.

511
00:27:15,532 --> 00:27:17,193
Sweetheart,
I got a hotel room.

512
00:27:17,301 --> 00:27:19,235
Why don't you go
with me for a little bit?

513
00:27:19,336 --> 00:27:20,826
You're crushing
my originals.

514
00:27:20,904 --> 00:27:23,464
I didn't mean to do that.
You don't know what you're missing.

515
00:27:23,540 --> 00:27:27,135
- It's got room service, a vibrating bed.
- Wait. Don't embarrass him.

516
00:27:27,211 --> 00:27:29,736
Cable movies.
You wanna walk the snake?

517
00:27:31,014 --> 00:27:33,141
What's that look?
You don't believe me?

518
00:27:33,217 --> 00:27:35,913
Baby, I'm tellin' you,
I got a python in here.

519
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:37,709
Hey!

520
00:27:42,259 --> 00:27:46,195
Gee, I've never seen one
that old before.

521
00:27:52,936 --> 00:27:53,925
Come on, bud.

522
00:27:54,037 --> 00:27:56,528
Let's park that Mustang
back in the garage.

523
00:27:57,207 --> 00:27:58,868
She's not married, is she?

524
00:27:59,910 --> 00:28:01,775
- Hey, fuck you!
- Fuck me?

525
00:28:01,945 --> 00:28:05,244
Fuck you, you redneck son of a bitch.
Ever hear of Anita Hill?

526
00:28:05,349 --> 00:28:06,839
You are so lucky
she's cool.

527
00:28:06,917 --> 00:28:08,714
I wouldn't have done it
if she wasn't cool.

528
00:28:08,785 --> 00:28:10,514
You know when
the muffin is cool.

529
00:28:10,587 --> 00:28:13,055
Your sensitive mind tells you
when to show her your cock.

530
00:28:13,123 --> 00:28:14,681
Where'd you go to school?

531
00:28:14,758 --> 00:28:16,783
Hotchkiss, right?
I read up on you.

532
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,054
- You're a tight-ass preppy elitist from Hotchkiss.
- Bullshit!

533
00:28:20,130 --> 00:28:24,965
Bullshit, it's bullshit! You called me
a redneck, which I'm proud to say I am.

534
00:28:25,135 --> 00:28:26,602
You, Hotchkiss, are a honky.

535
00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:29,566
You just look black.
It's the best part of you.

536
00:28:29,806 --> 00:28:32,741
It lets you intimidate the pale faces,
especially lib-labs,

537
00:28:32,910 --> 00:28:35,140
and work that voodoo
sexual shit on white girls.

538
00:28:35,279 --> 00:28:38,942
I'm blacker than you are.
I got some slave in me. I can feel it.

539
00:28:39,049 --> 00:28:41,540
You're crazy! What?

540
00:28:41,618 --> 00:28:45,054
- You got a visitor.
- It's not a visitor. It's me.

541
00:28:45,122 --> 00:28:46,146
Where the fuck have you been?

542
00:28:46,256 --> 00:28:48,281
- Where is my suitcase?
- I got it.

543
00:28:49,326 --> 00:28:51,988
Can't let a lady carry
a suitcase, not in the South.

544
00:28:52,329 --> 00:28:54,957
Henry, I am so glad that you
finally got a wardrobe.

545
00:28:55,065 --> 00:28:58,831
- We got a very important dinner with a very important person.
- Who?

546
00:28:58,936 --> 00:29:00,631
Governor Ozio's son.

547
00:29:00,737 --> 00:29:03,001
What the fuck does
Ozio's son want?

548
00:29:03,173 --> 00:29:05,437
A scouting expedition
for Pop, I guess.

549
00:29:05,842 --> 00:29:08,310
But it could be Ozio is looking
for someone to endorse.

550
00:29:08,679 --> 00:29:10,408
Jesus.

551
00:29:10,580 --> 00:29:12,138
Wouldn't that be something?

552
00:29:14,685 --> 00:29:16,175
This has to be handled
just right.

553
00:29:16,987 --> 00:29:18,454
Just right.

554
00:29:18,622 --> 00:29:20,613
Red Skelton.
That's what I remember.

555
00:29:20,691 --> 00:29:22,522
Red Buttons.

556
00:29:22,693 --> 00:29:25,287
- All right.
- I hope you don't mind eatin' pig with your hands.

557
00:29:25,362 --> 00:29:27,626
- Is there any other way?
- Not in the South.

558
00:29:30,367 --> 00:29:31,629
There we go.

559
00:29:31,702 --> 00:29:34,136
The governor's been watching
you move around the country.

560
00:29:34,204 --> 00:29:36,866
He was hoping the next time
you pass our way, you'd stop in.

561
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,033
- Spend a little time, get to know us better.
- We will absolutely do that.

562
00:29:41,211 --> 00:29:45,011
In fact, you got the book. When can we meet
with Jimmy's dad, Governor Ozio?

563
00:29:46,550 --> 00:29:49,212
- You don't mind us talking business, do you?
- No.

564
00:29:49,886 --> 00:29:51,547
How else will I learn?

565
00:29:51,888 --> 00:29:54,618
Let's see.
We're pretty booked.

566
00:29:54,791 --> 00:29:56,952
Next Tuesday we're in Albany
on the way to New Hampshire.

567
00:29:57,027 --> 00:29:59,393
- How's Tuesday?
- Let's look.

568
00:30:01,665 --> 00:30:03,292
Tuesday.

569
00:30:04,468 --> 00:30:06,561
Let me just
scroll down here.

570
00:30:06,670 --> 00:30:09,161
Tuesday's pretty full.

571
00:30:09,239 --> 00:30:11,537
Maybe I can
slot you in somewhere.

572
00:30:12,642 --> 00:30:14,667
Yeah.

573
00:30:15,712 --> 00:30:18,078
We land at 4:00,
then there's a drop-by

574
00:30:18,181 --> 00:30:19,808
at the Teachers Union
cocktail party...

575
00:30:19,983 --> 00:30:22,076
before their annual dinner
at the Sheraton.

576
00:30:22,586 --> 00:30:24,554
I'd like to skip that,
but they'd notice.

577
00:30:24,855 --> 00:30:27,187
I'm the only candidate
invited to the cocktail party.

578
00:30:28,759 --> 00:30:29,748
I know.

579
00:30:29,860 --> 00:30:33,489
The governor turned it down because
he's the keynote speaker at the dinner.

580
00:30:35,065 --> 00:30:37,556
You'll both be at the Sheraton
at the same time.

581
00:30:37,667 --> 00:30:40,192
You can meet after the cocktail party,
just before dinner,

582
00:30:40,604 --> 00:30:41,935
in his suite.

583
00:30:43,407 --> 00:30:44,840
Perfect.

584
00:30:46,076 --> 00:30:48,237
- I'll see him then.
- Excellent.

585
00:30:56,953 --> 00:30:59,285
Fuck all, Henry.
Fuck all.

586
00:30:59,456 --> 00:31:01,754
You don't know fuck all
about briefing me!

587
00:31:02,225 --> 00:31:04,386
You make me look like
a fuckin' amateur!

588
00:31:04,561 --> 00:31:08,429
Like a rube-ass, barefoot,
dipshit, third-rate,

589
00:31:08,598 --> 00:31:11,226
southern-fried
piece-of-shit alderman!

590
00:31:11,401 --> 00:31:13,596
You didn't know that Ozio
was speaking at that dinner.

591
00:31:13,703 --> 00:31:17,571
You couldn't tell me, so I don't go
shootin' my mouth off about that party.

592
00:31:18,075 --> 00:31:19,406
Hello, Richard.

593
00:31:19,476 --> 00:31:20,966
If you'd like to make a call...

594
00:31:21,078 --> 00:31:23,137
Shit!

595
00:31:23,246 --> 00:31:25,771
What the fuck kind
of operation we got here?

596
00:31:25,882 --> 00:31:30,046
How did we get scheduled for a drop-in
when he is the main speaker?

597
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,485
Get me Howard!

598
00:31:32,089 --> 00:31:34,421
- You threw the phone out the window.
- Stop the car.

599
00:31:35,625 --> 00:31:37,718
Don't kill us. Just stop it.

600
00:31:37,894 --> 00:31:40,226
- The phone landed in the brush.
- You're wrong.

601
00:31:40,330 --> 00:31:41,922
It landed in the trees.

602
00:31:42,466 --> 00:31:44,957
I look like shit if I go
to that cocktail party.

603
00:31:45,135 --> 00:31:47,797
I'm Ozio's warm-up act.
Don't think he didn't know it.

604
00:31:47,971 --> 00:31:49,632
But somehow,
we didn't know it.

605
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,331
Get out of the goddamn brush.
It landed in the trees.

606
00:31:52,509 --> 00:31:55,444
Jimmy Ozio is probably tellin' his father
he's got nothin' to worry about.

607
00:31:55,512 --> 00:31:58,504
That would be the case
even if Henry hadn't screwed up.

608
00:31:58,615 --> 00:32:01,982
Here's the phone.
It was in the brush.

609
00:32:02,819 --> 00:32:04,480
Well, shit.

610
00:32:05,188 --> 00:32:07,315
You wouldn't have found it
if I hadn't thrown it out the car.

611
00:32:16,099 --> 00:32:17,361
Hello.

612
00:32:17,467 --> 00:32:18,991
No.

613
00:32:19,102 --> 00:32:20,694
No, sorry,
he's not here.

614
00:32:21,671 --> 00:32:23,536
Henry Burton.
Can I take a message?

615
00:32:28,178 --> 00:32:29,543
Oh, God. I see.

616
00:32:31,348 --> 00:32:33,612
No, no, no.
I got it. I got it.

617
00:32:35,819 --> 00:32:37,286
How reliable is Daisy?

618
00:32:37,354 --> 00:32:40,221
- A hundred percent.
- Then we just got really bad news.

619
00:32:40,323 --> 00:32:42,382
In the next issue of
Manhattan magazine,

620
00:32:42,492 --> 00:32:44,483
there's an interview with Ozio
in which he blasts you.

621
00:32:45,162 --> 00:32:47,528
What's he done? His state's
last in everything.

622
00:32:47,631 --> 00:32:49,997
He doesn't know shit
about education.

623
00:32:51,334 --> 00:32:52,858
Well, you were right
about the meeting.

624
00:32:54,471 --> 00:32:56,166
This is bad.

625
00:32:56,806 --> 00:32:59,570
- You have to hit back.
- But not too hard.

626
00:32:59,676 --> 00:33:01,837
- You don't want to lose the liberals.
- You're gonna lose 'em anyway.

627
00:33:01,912 --> 00:33:03,402
Richard,
are you with us?

628
00:33:03,513 --> 00:33:06,380
I'd give him a little poke. It'll make us
look better when he drops out.

629
00:33:06,483 --> 00:33:07,677
When who drops out?

630
00:33:07,751 --> 00:33:11,152
- Ozio's 24 points ahead of us.
- That's the giveaway.

631
00:33:11,221 --> 00:33:13,849
If he's willing to acknowledge
our presence,

632
00:33:13,924 --> 00:33:16,222
he's the stupidest Italian
since Nero.

633
00:33:16,393 --> 00:33:20,261
Or he's not gonna race.
He'll sit on his throne and snipe.

634
00:33:20,497 --> 00:33:22,055
It doesn't matter.
I'm not gonna do it.

635
00:33:22,432 --> 00:33:23,421
Jack!

636
00:33:23,533 --> 00:33:25,160
I'm not gonna go negative.

637
00:33:25,235 --> 00:33:27,396
Any jackass can
burn down a barn.

638
00:33:27,504 --> 00:33:30,268
- It's self-defense.
- I'm not gonna do it!

639
00:33:42,385 --> 00:33:45,286
Shane!

640
00:33:46,289 --> 00:33:48,348
Come back!

641
00:33:49,593 --> 00:33:51,925
Come back, Shane!

642
00:33:52,696 --> 00:33:54,630
Run for president.

643
00:34:00,604 --> 00:34:01,593
Hello?

644
00:34:01,705 --> 00:34:04,640
- How're you doin', Henry?
- Fine.

645
00:34:04,774 --> 00:34:07,208
Look, there's been
a bender on the interstate.

646
00:34:07,377 --> 00:34:09,436
I'm on my way to meet with the family,
so cancel Howard.

647
00:34:09,913 --> 00:34:11,972
Yeah. Okay.

648
00:34:12,082 --> 00:34:14,642
And, Governor, look.

649
00:34:15,118 --> 00:34:17,609
About the Teachers Union
dinner...

650
00:34:17,721 --> 00:34:20,713
Listen, my man.
I know how much I lay on you.

651
00:34:20,790 --> 00:34:23,884
I know how hard you work for me.
And I'm honored by it.

652
00:34:24,060 --> 00:34:26,585
- I'm honored.
- Yeah, but I should have thought...

653
00:34:26,663 --> 00:34:28,460
- It didn't occur to me...
- Forget it.

654
00:34:28,632 --> 00:34:31,465
Get out of that office
for a while and rest.

655
00:34:31,635 --> 00:34:34,160
Stay home, crack open
a bottle of Chablis.

656
00:34:34,337 --> 00:34:37,329
- What you doing this weekend, Henry?
- This weekend.

657
00:34:37,507 --> 00:34:39,498
I'm setting up
a list of meetings...

658
00:34:39,609 --> 00:34:42,077
You think it's possible
to get yourself laid?

659
00:34:43,647 --> 00:34:45,171
- Sir?
- I'm serious.

660
00:34:45,348 --> 00:34:48,613
I don't want you too horny to think straight
or too burned out to kick ass

661
00:34:48,685 --> 00:34:50,846
when we really need
to start rolling.

662
00:34:50,954 --> 00:34:53,445
- What you doin' Thanksgiving?
- What?

663
00:34:53,523 --> 00:34:56,583
You said your mama's in Beverly Hills,
so if you're free,

664
00:34:56,860 --> 00:34:59,590
maybe you'd like to spend it
with Susan, Jackie and me.

665
00:34:59,763 --> 00:35:03,199
It's not the same as being with your mama,
but we're family too.

666
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,829
Thank you.
Yes, I would like that.

667
00:35:07,937 --> 00:35:09,029
Well, good.

668
00:35:09,272 --> 00:35:12,139
And, Henry, the reason
I won't take on Ozio

669
00:35:12,309 --> 00:35:16,040
is that I don't want to give that son of a bitch
the power to make me the son of a bitch.

670
00:35:16,212 --> 00:35:18,806
All right?
See you, Henry.

671
00:35:21,384 --> 00:35:22,715
Right.

672
00:35:24,387 --> 00:35:27,652
Dear Lord, thank you
for what we're about to receive.

673
00:35:27,824 --> 00:35:29,121
Amen.

674
00:35:30,226 --> 00:35:32,990
All right, son.
Here we go.

675
00:35:33,163 --> 00:35:35,723
Happy Thanksgiving,
everybody!

676
00:35:38,802 --> 00:35:41,703
- Who the hell are all these people?
- Most are from shelters.

677
00:35:41,871 --> 00:35:44,237
- You're kidding.
- No, he invites them every year.

678
00:35:44,407 --> 00:35:48,571
That's the good news. The bad news is
he also invites his friends.

679
00:35:48,745 --> 00:35:50,576
People he's been collecting
since kindergarten

680
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,046
so he can take them
aboard when he sails.

681
00:35:53,149 --> 00:35:55,014
Some of them really suck.

682
00:35:55,185 --> 00:35:57,983
Henry. Daisy.

683
00:35:58,154 --> 00:36:00,588
- She has the same problem.
- Right.

684
00:36:00,757 --> 00:36:03,851
I want you to meet Lucille Kaufman,
an old friend from New York.

685
00:36:04,027 --> 00:36:06,188
- Hi.
- I marched with your grandfather.

686
00:36:06,262 --> 00:36:07,320
Hello, Lucille.

687
00:36:07,397 --> 00:36:08,921
Lucille and I went
to law school together.

688
00:36:09,032 --> 00:36:11,330
- Let's get a drink.
- You're Jack's coordinator?

689
00:36:11,501 --> 00:36:15,096
Can't you do something about his clothes
and the color of the campaign posters?

690
00:36:15,271 --> 00:36:17,262
And Arlen Sporken,
while you're at it.

691
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,204
If I wasn't swamped,
I'd join the campaign full-time.

692
00:36:20,410 --> 00:36:22,901
Henry, I want you
to meet my son Jackie.

693
00:36:23,046 --> 00:36:26,709
- Hi, Jackie.
- This is our family doctor, Dr. Beauregard.

694
00:36:26,883 --> 00:36:32,082
Henry, you and Jack are gonna have to find
yourselves a way to educate them Yankees.

695
00:36:32,255 --> 00:36:34,052
Maybe if they both
wear capes.

696
00:36:34,224 --> 00:36:38,183
This is Randy Culligan.
I gave him his first job as a law clerk.

697
00:37:14,764 --> 00:37:17,824
Hey, folks.
May I have your attention here?

698
00:37:18,001 --> 00:37:22,938
Folks, you all know me.
I'm Jackie Stanton's mama.

699
00:37:26,976 --> 00:37:29,103
How 'bout if we sing us
a chorus of...

700
00:37:29,179 --> 00:37:31,477
- You Are My Sunshine...
- Yeah!

701
00:37:31,648 --> 00:37:35,641
In honor of the great
Southern governors of America.

702
00:37:35,819 --> 00:37:40,688
<i>You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine</i>

703
00:37:40,957 --> 00:37:45,985
<i>You make me happy
when skies are gray</i>

704
00:37:46,162 --> 00:37:51,532
- <i>You'll never know, dear, how much I love you</i>
- Hello. Huh?

705
00:37:51,701 --> 00:37:55,432
- <i>Please don't take my sunshine away</i>
- You're kidding?

706
00:37:55,605 --> 00:37:57,368
Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey!

707
00:37:57,540 --> 00:38:01,101
- Wait. Hold up.
- Ozio just dropped out.

708
00:38:07,150 --> 00:38:09,778
That's fantastic!
Yes!

709
00:38:09,953 --> 00:38:12,683
Gentlemen, welcome
to the first debate...

710
00:38:12,856 --> 00:38:15,051
of the Democratic
presidential primary.

711
00:38:15,225 --> 00:38:18,353
- I remind you to keep your responses to one minute.
- Okay.

712
00:38:18,528 --> 00:38:21,122
- Senator Martin.
- Oh, God. I'm so nervous I'm sick.

713
00:38:21,297 --> 00:38:24,061
It's three weeks
to the primary.

714
00:38:24,234 --> 00:38:25,997
What I want to say
about health care

715
00:38:26,169 --> 00:38:30,367
is that although it's vital that every man,
woman and child be covered,

716
00:38:30,540 --> 00:38:34,670
it's also vital that we conserve
as well as expend.

717
00:38:34,844 --> 00:38:39,008
We're providing a safety net
for folks on welfare

718
00:38:39,082 --> 00:38:41,915
- who otherwise would be unable to get off welfare.
- Oh, shit.

719
00:38:42,085 --> 00:38:44,315
- Oh, man.
- What did you just see?

720
00:38:44,487 --> 00:38:46,182
Nothing. No one.

721
00:38:46,256 --> 00:38:47,245
Y'all are missing

722
00:38:47,357 --> 00:38:49,655
one of the great assholes
of our time back there.

723
00:38:50,326 --> 00:38:53,523
I can't help feeling sad
as I listen to Senator Martin.

724
00:38:53,596 --> 00:38:55,029
Lookin' sad.

725
00:38:55,098 --> 00:38:58,499
I remember a time when
being a Democrat meant more...

726
00:38:58,568 --> 00:39:01,366
than just giving welfare
recipients a safety net.

727
00:39:01,504 --> 00:39:03,267
It meant giving them
a ladder.

728
00:39:03,373 --> 00:39:06,274
It meant giving them a way
to climb back to an equal height.

729
00:39:06,442 --> 00:39:10,003
- It meant dignity.
- I say if we don't control spending,

730
00:39:10,179 --> 00:39:12,739
we don't shore up the economy
of this great country of ours,

731
00:39:12,916 --> 00:39:14,713
our economy will go under.

732
00:39:14,884 --> 00:39:16,579
This is a new economic era.

733
00:39:16,753 --> 00:39:18,948
Who are we shoring
the economy up for?

734
00:39:19,122 --> 00:39:21,682
Your bond-holding fat cats?
I'd like to know.

735
00:39:21,858 --> 00:39:26,295
It's not just bondholders.
Ordinary men and women will benefit as well.

736
00:39:26,462 --> 00:39:29,693
- Goddamn it.
- Why is he doing this?

737
00:39:29,866 --> 00:39:33,962
Because he's just gotta get on
the good side of Lawrence Harris.

738
00:39:34,137 --> 00:39:36,469
A lower deficit means,
among other things,

739
00:39:36,639 --> 00:39:38,766
that working families will
have lower mortgage rates.

740
00:39:38,942 --> 00:39:42,139
- Okay, not bad, but shut up.
- We're okay.

741
00:39:42,312 --> 00:39:44,746
Governor Nilson's idea
has got merit.

742
00:39:44,914 --> 00:39:48,406
We do need to provide jobs for those
who need work. That is true.

743
00:39:48,484 --> 00:39:50,042
Jack, excuse me.

744
00:39:50,219 --> 00:39:53,313
What, if anything,
are you against?

745
00:39:58,761 --> 00:40:02,720
I'm against doing nothing
while people are suffering.

746
00:40:02,899 --> 00:40:06,062
I'm against dismissing
any idea that might help

747
00:40:06,235 --> 00:40:08,226
because it isn't my idea.

748
00:40:08,404 --> 00:40:11,396
Senator, you have met these people,
looked into their eyes.

749
00:40:11,574 --> 00:40:14,407
Are you saying we should do nothin'
to help unless we come up with it?

750
00:40:14,577 --> 00:40:16,977
- Nailed him!
- He's toast!

751
00:40:17,113 --> 00:40:19,274
- Hell, yes!
- What I meant was...

752
00:40:19,449 --> 00:40:21,508
Kickin' ass
and takin' names!

753
00:40:22,518 --> 00:40:24,986
Grand slam.
As good as it gets.

754
00:40:25,088 --> 00:40:26,851
Hi. How was I?

755
00:40:27,023 --> 00:40:29,184
You took it, honey.
It was yours. Sure.

756
00:40:29,359 --> 00:40:31,350
Governor, March Cunningham,
The Black Advocate.

757
00:40:32,829 --> 00:40:35,093
Were you ever arrested
during the Vietnam War?

758
00:40:35,164 --> 00:40:36,153
No.

759
00:40:36,666 --> 00:40:38,657
You were never
arrested in Chicago?

760
00:40:39,268 --> 00:40:41,361
I was accidentally detained.

761
00:40:41,537 --> 00:40:44,665
Then released.
The record was expunged.

762
00:40:44,841 --> 00:40:46,775
You remember how
you were released?

763
00:40:46,843 --> 00:40:50,438
They realized it was a mistake.
It was a long time ago.

764
00:40:50,613 --> 00:40:53,480
- Check your records.
- Honey, we're gonna be late.

765
00:40:53,549 --> 00:40:57,041
- Henry?
- You guys go ahead. I'll meet you. Go on.

766
00:41:06,896 --> 00:41:08,887
What are you doing here?

767
00:41:09,065 --> 00:41:12,398
Why is The Black Advocate
suddenly interested in Stanton?

768
00:41:12,568 --> 00:41:14,365
They're not. I am.

769
00:41:14,537 --> 00:41:17,062
I'm trying to find out who he is
because a friend of mine works for him.

770
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:19,231
Oh, March. Come on.
Don't do this.

771
00:41:19,342 --> 00:41:21,503
I thought you might
be interested too.

772
00:41:21,678 --> 00:41:23,373
Do you know why
he was released?

773
00:41:23,479 --> 00:41:25,913
He called a senator
to get him out of jail

774
00:41:26,082 --> 00:41:29,313
and then persuaded the mayor of Chicago
to have his record expunged.

775
00:41:29,485 --> 00:41:31,385
- So?
- So?

776
00:41:31,554 --> 00:41:34,489
You don't care that this guy was already
so manipulative in the '60s...

777
00:41:34,657 --> 00:41:36,750
that he got into bed
with the mayor of Chicago,

778
00:41:36,926 --> 00:41:39,690
the same mayor that busted the protestors
at the Democratic Convention?

779
00:41:39,862 --> 00:41:44,026
No, I don't care. Stanton was never a radical.
He's a politician.

780
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,725
He couldn't get elected with a record,
so he had that expunged.

781
00:41:46,903 --> 00:41:50,066
That's the kind of man you want to work for,
somebody who just wants to get elected?

782
00:41:50,206 --> 00:41:52,936
No, I want to work for a man
who fights the good fight,

783
00:41:53,042 --> 00:41:54,600
then watch a Republican
get elected.

784
00:41:54,744 --> 00:41:57,406
- What's the difference? Can you tell?
- I can tell the difference

785
00:41:57,513 --> 00:42:01,074
between a man who believes what I believe
and lies to get elected

786
00:42:01,250 --> 00:42:03,946
and a man who... who just
doesn't give a fuck.

787
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,556
- I'll take the liar.
- How did he do this to you?

788
00:42:07,724 --> 00:42:10,693
Do what? What?
What are you...

789
00:42:12,061 --> 00:42:13,961
Why are you making this guy
into the devil?

790
00:42:14,130 --> 00:42:18,123
Why don't you at least get to know him,
maybe spend a few days with us?

791
00:42:20,236 --> 00:42:22,431
Honey, I miss you,
and we could be together.

792
00:42:23,606 --> 00:42:25,301
God.

793
00:42:25,475 --> 00:42:28,535
I think you'd fuck me to get
some good press for Stanton.

794
00:42:39,956 --> 00:42:41,321
We're in trouble.

795
00:42:42,925 --> 00:42:44,756
What does she have?

796
00:42:47,230 --> 00:42:49,664
What the fuck is The Black Advocate
doing covering Stanton?

797
00:42:49,766 --> 00:42:51,427
They're not. It's...
She's...

798
00:42:52,101 --> 00:42:53,295
It's personal.

799
00:42:56,472 --> 00:42:58,667
Well, it don't matter.
We're fucked.

800
00:42:58,841 --> 00:43:01,401
If some little shitty paper
like The Black Advocate's

801
00:43:01,477 --> 00:43:03,274
got a reporter
who can dig this up,

802
00:43:03,346 --> 00:43:05,837
then we're fuckin'
flying blind in the wind.

803
00:43:06,015 --> 00:43:07,983
Now they're all
gonna come after us.

804
00:43:08,084 --> 00:43:10,314
Did you see any other president up there
on the stage tonight?

805
00:43:10,419 --> 00:43:12,979
We're the fucking
ball game.

806
00:43:13,756 --> 00:43:18,125
Now every flea that ever nipped his ass
is gonna want a piece of us.

807
00:43:18,294 --> 00:43:21,286
It's gonna be the war thing,
the drug thing, the woman thing.

808
00:43:21,364 --> 00:43:24,026
That's the killer right there.
You're gonna have to talk to him about that.

809
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,668
Me? No.
Hey, you're the strategy guy.

810
00:43:27,003 --> 00:43:28,766
But you're the body man.

811
00:43:28,938 --> 00:43:30,769
Maybe we can talk
to Susan.

812
00:43:30,940 --> 00:43:32,931
Are you out
of your fuckin' mind?

813
00:43:33,609 --> 00:43:37,636
Mrs. Stanton, we need to know who the governor's
plugging so we can have spin control.

814
00:43:37,814 --> 00:43:39,543
All right then, let's just quit.

815
00:43:39,715 --> 00:43:41,979
If everyone's gonna take a bite out of him,
we're not gonna say anything,

816
00:43:42,051 --> 00:43:44,815
let's go work for someone
we're not too chickenshit to protect.

817
00:43:50,726 --> 00:43:53,718
- All right. We'll set up a meeting.
- Him or her?

818
00:43:53,896 --> 00:43:55,727
- Shit, her!
- Her!

819
00:43:56,532 --> 00:43:58,466
Goddamn,
this is gonna be rough.

820
00:43:59,202 --> 00:44:03,036
So, I have to be in Concord
in an hour to meet Jack.

821
00:44:03,206 --> 00:44:04,798
What's the crisis?

822
00:44:11,247 --> 00:44:14,239
It's campaign business.
It's private.

823
00:44:14,417 --> 00:44:16,715
Please, if it's not
too private for you...

824
00:44:16,819 --> 00:44:19,879
Lucille is one of my closest friends
and part of this campaign.

825
00:44:21,490 --> 00:44:23,253
What's the crisis?

826
00:44:45,915 --> 00:44:47,780
Say you're out in the woods
taking a shit...

827
00:44:48,784 --> 00:44:51,446
and a wild boar
comes charging at ya.

828
00:44:52,388 --> 00:44:55,619
Now, do you pull
your britches up and run?

829
00:44:57,193 --> 00:45:01,926
Or do you try to pull your britches up
and grab the doves you just shot,

830
00:45:02,765 --> 00:45:05,791
and then try to run,
all at the same time?

831
00:45:07,637 --> 00:45:11,539
Or do you just forget about the fuckin' doves,
pull your britches up and run,

832
00:45:11,607 --> 00:45:14,269
'cause you ain't got time
to aim and button your fly?

833
00:45:18,314 --> 00:45:20,145
And if you miss,

834
00:45:20,983 --> 00:45:26,285
well, you don't want to die
with your dick hanging out.

835
00:45:26,389 --> 00:45:27,754
You see what I'm sayin'?

836
00:45:28,491 --> 00:45:31,483
I think I speak for everyone
in the room when I say no.

837
00:45:32,094 --> 00:45:34,324
Well, I mean,

838
00:45:34,964 --> 00:45:37,228
what if you're not
prepared for the boar,

839
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,961
and you get caught with your britches down
and lose the doves?

840
00:45:41,070 --> 00:45:43,903
All right, what Richard
is saying is...

841
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,571
If you get caught
in the forest...

842
00:45:48,644 --> 00:45:51,112
Don't give us a taking a shit in the woods
metaphor again.

843
00:45:51,180 --> 00:45:52,807
Tell us what you
are talking about.

844
00:45:53,816 --> 00:45:55,078
Okay.

845
00:45:55,785 --> 00:45:58,151
- Say that this boar is part...
- I don't believe this.

846
00:45:58,254 --> 00:46:01,018
Who do the boars represent,
the Republicans?

847
00:46:01,123 --> 00:46:03,182
- No, the press.
- The press?

848
00:46:03,292 --> 00:46:06,022
Yes. Don't they?

849
00:46:06,195 --> 00:46:08,686
Yeah, the press.

850
00:46:08,864 --> 00:46:11,355
Now, you're dealing
with these wild boars.

851
00:46:11,534 --> 00:46:15,470
- Oh, God.
- Suddenly they start saying things like marijuana.

852
00:46:15,871 --> 00:46:18,704
Chicago. Maybe a woman
comes forward and says...

853
00:46:18,808 --> 00:46:21,470
Bullshit.
That's not gonna happen.

854
00:46:21,544 --> 00:46:24,479
- Absolutely not.
- I don't think so either.

855
00:46:24,547 --> 00:46:26,014
But...

856
00:46:28,150 --> 00:46:30,015
I'm just trying
to figure this out.

857
00:46:30,953 --> 00:46:32,284
If it did happen,

858
00:46:33,389 --> 00:46:36,984
then he's not gonna get trapped like Hart,
'cause we know the rules.

859
00:46:37,159 --> 00:46:40,617
If some bimbo from a former life comes forward,
we just say, bullshit.

860
00:46:40,696 --> 00:46:43,790
- Bullshit is right.
- What are you suggesting we do?

861
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,192
- How would you deal with it?
- By knowing more than they do.

862
00:46:47,303 --> 00:46:51,831
By being prepared, so when a story like Chicago
comes up, we fight back with the truth.

863
00:46:51,907 --> 00:46:55,138
How are we supposed to know what kind of garbage
they're gonna come up with?

864
00:46:55,211 --> 00:46:58,908
That's the point, Lucille.
That's the whole ever-fuckin' point.

865
00:46:59,715 --> 00:47:02,548
We need to hire an operative
to do research, you see?

866
00:47:02,651 --> 00:47:05,518
- We need somebody that can get at...
- Investigate our lives.

867
00:47:05,588 --> 00:47:09,354
Investigate everything
anybody can make an allegation about.

868
00:47:09,692 --> 00:47:11,660
That's ridiculous.
We don't play that game.

869
00:47:11,827 --> 00:47:14,227
That's the media's game.
We play the people's game.

870
00:47:14,330 --> 00:47:16,093
We say, the Republicans
and the media

871
00:47:16,198 --> 00:47:17,563
want the election
to be about trash.

872
00:47:17,733 --> 00:47:19,530
We want it to be
about your future.

873
00:47:19,702 --> 00:47:23,103
We don't shoot doves in this campaign.
We protect them.

874
00:47:23,939 --> 00:47:25,201
What do you mean?

875
00:47:28,277 --> 00:47:31,872
Well, don't the doves
represent the people?

876
00:47:32,515 --> 00:47:35,416
- No.
- Then I don't understand who the doves are.

877
00:47:35,584 --> 00:47:38,553
Forget the doves.
Henry, you agree with this?

878
00:47:39,355 --> 00:47:41,516
- Yes.
- Okay.

879
00:47:42,191 --> 00:47:44,125
We'll do it.
I'll tell the governor.

880
00:47:44,260 --> 00:47:46,057
- I want Libby Holden.
- Oh, my God!

881
00:47:46,228 --> 00:47:49,561
If we're gonna get someone to find the dirt,
we have to have someone who knows us,

882
00:47:49,632 --> 00:47:51,691
someone we trust completely.

883
00:47:51,767 --> 00:47:53,928
But I mean,
is she out of the hospital?

884
00:47:54,036 --> 00:47:55,060
Yes.

885
00:47:55,237 --> 00:47:57,364
- She's okay now?
- Who is she?

886
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,307
She was Jack's chief of staff 20 years ago.
She had a breakdown.

887
00:48:00,409 --> 00:48:02,570
She just suddenly
became incoherent

888
00:48:02,645 --> 00:48:03,976
in the middle
of a press conference.

889
00:48:04,146 --> 00:48:06,944
It was awful. She's been in and out
of mental hospitals for years.

890
00:48:07,049 --> 00:48:09,609
She seems very stable now.
She's been home for 18 months.

891
00:48:09,718 --> 00:48:11,618
You and Henry can fly back
tomorrow and brief her.

892
00:48:12,588 --> 00:48:16,115
Well, that's good...
that she's stable,

893
00:48:16,292 --> 00:48:19,557
because you're kind of putting
the whole campaign in her hands now.

894
00:48:19,628 --> 00:48:21,619
Yes, I know.

895
00:48:22,598 --> 00:48:24,828
Well, that's good.

896
00:48:29,972 --> 00:48:34,602
- Are we the doves?
- Lucille, I think we can forget the metaphor.

897
00:48:35,778 --> 00:48:38,838
Actually, I think we're the ones
taking the shit in the woods.

898
00:48:43,018 --> 00:48:44,747
- Hey, Ella.
- Henry.

899
00:48:44,820 --> 00:48:48,688
Oh, I'm just thrilled
y'all came back.

900
00:48:48,791 --> 00:48:51,021
I got a million messages
for you.

901
00:48:51,127 --> 00:48:53,618
He looks like a band leader.
I'm getting rid of it.

902
00:48:57,166 --> 00:48:58,963
Hey, Henry,
how're you doin'?

903
00:48:59,135 --> 00:49:01,865
On behalf of Jack Stanton,
we'd like to thank you for your support.

904
00:49:02,037 --> 00:49:05,939
- Never call 'em secretaries. Always call 'em assistants.
- Jennifer, look who's back!

905
00:49:06,108 --> 00:49:08,508
Henry!

906
00:49:08,677 --> 00:49:10,542
Shalom.

907
00:49:10,713 --> 00:49:13,113
You're working on Friday
and wearing a yarmulke.

908
00:49:13,182 --> 00:49:15,878
I'm dressed for work.
How you doin', H.B.?

909
00:49:16,051 --> 00:49:18,952
I'm here!
Who's talkin' to me?

910
00:49:19,288 --> 00:49:21,188
Miss Holden?

911
00:49:21,524 --> 00:49:23,958
Henry Burton.

912
00:49:24,126 --> 00:49:26,890
Hi, I'm Terry Hicks.

913
00:49:27,062 --> 00:49:29,462
Jennifer.

914
00:49:29,632 --> 00:49:32,226
- Hello, Lib.
- Hello, shit-for-brains.

915
00:49:32,401 --> 00:49:34,528
You learned how
to watch your mouth yet?

916
00:49:34,637 --> 00:49:38,073
I will not let you fuck up this campaign too.
I will not let it happen!

917
00:49:38,240 --> 00:49:41,073
That was 20 years ago.

918
00:49:41,243 --> 00:49:43,643
Yes, I was thinner then.
I had a waist.

919
00:49:43,812 --> 00:49:46,906
- Peter Goldsmith.
- Ella Louise Harriman.

920
00:49:47,082 --> 00:49:48,982
- Where is this happening?
- What?

921
00:49:49,151 --> 00:49:50,311
The fucking meeting!

922
00:49:53,989 --> 00:49:55,479
I will need a safe house.

923
00:49:55,658 --> 00:49:58,752
I know the house.
Little, nice rose garden.

924
00:49:58,928 --> 00:50:02,022
Call Becky Raymond.
673-4982.

925
00:50:02,097 --> 00:50:03,997
Tell her it's for the governor.
She'll know what you mean.

926
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:05,992
Now, staff.

927
00:50:07,436 --> 00:50:10,496
I want that one,
the one who looks like Winona Ryder.

928
00:50:10,673 --> 00:50:12,698
Gorgeous.
Is she smart?

929
00:50:12,875 --> 00:50:14,604
Oh, she's smart.

930
00:50:14,777 --> 00:50:17,541
I want her as soon as the meeting's over.
Start.

931
00:50:18,881 --> 00:50:21,247
Well, a reporter
for The Black Advocate

932
00:50:21,350 --> 00:50:23,375
dug up the governor's
Chicago arrest.

933
00:50:23,452 --> 00:50:26,046
- We know we can't stop that.
- Why stop it? It's a paper trail.

934
00:50:26,121 --> 00:50:27,588
Chicago's not
that important.

935
00:50:27,723 --> 00:50:30,624
But we're concerned
there may be other things.

936
00:50:30,793 --> 00:50:32,761
- Like Cashmere McLeod.
- Who?

937
00:50:32,861 --> 00:50:35,625
Boy, you really
don't know shit, do you?

938
00:50:35,731 --> 00:50:37,130
You mean Susan's hairdresser?

939
00:50:37,233 --> 00:50:38,700
And Jack's porkpie.

940
00:50:38,767 --> 00:50:42,430
- What?
- For Christ's sake, act your age.

941
00:50:42,605 --> 00:50:45,438
Jack Stanton fucks around,
and he's got enemies.

942
00:50:45,641 --> 00:50:49,304
But what, Susan's hairdresser?
What can she do to us?

943
00:50:49,712 --> 00:50:52,943
She can sell her story
to the Flash for 150,000,

944
00:50:53,115 --> 00:50:58,280
minus the ten percent she's giving to
the slime-suckin', down-on-his-luck attorney...

945
00:50:58,387 --> 00:51:00,378
who's agenting
the deal for her.

946
00:51:00,456 --> 00:51:04,256
- You know this?
- No, I imagined it in the booby hatch!

947
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:05,749
It's bullshit.

948
00:51:05,828 --> 00:51:07,318
In your dreams, sweetheart.

949
00:51:07,463 --> 00:51:10,330
She can't hurt us.
She has no proof.

950
00:51:10,432 --> 00:51:12,627
She has no credibility.
It's bullshit.

951
00:51:12,735 --> 00:51:14,600
She's the tip of the iceberg.

952
00:51:14,770 --> 00:51:17,238
Our Jackie's done some
pretty stupid things in his life.

953
00:51:17,439 --> 00:51:20,135
He's poked his pecker
in some sorry trash bins.

954
00:51:20,576 --> 00:51:23,238
We gotta stop 'em
before they stop us.

955
00:51:23,779 --> 00:51:26,441
We gotta crush 'em
and sweep 'em up.

956
00:51:26,615 --> 00:51:30,016
From now on, you can
call me the Dustbuster.

957
00:51:30,185 --> 00:51:33,450
You know, honey child?
I'm stronger than dirt.

958
00:51:33,622 --> 00:51:35,317
I believe you.

959
00:51:36,292 --> 00:51:39,955
- We could offer her 200,000 not to print it.
- Then kill her to make sure?

960
00:51:40,095 --> 00:51:42,154
The important thing is
he didn't do anything wrong,

961
00:51:42,264 --> 00:51:43,595
he has nothing
to be defensive about.

962
00:51:43,666 --> 00:51:46,294
- He should act pissed off.
- But not too pissed off. He's running for president.

963
00:51:46,368 --> 00:51:49,360
It should be like, well, it's too bad,
but we don't take it seriously.

964
00:51:49,638 --> 00:51:52,698
This ain't as frightening as
things that happen to people,

965
00:51:52,841 --> 00:51:54,468
like losing your job
or getting foreclosed.

966
00:51:54,543 --> 00:51:56,374
- Where the fuck's the light?
- I'm looking for it.

967
00:51:56,512 --> 00:51:59,140
Like, shit happens,
but we're calm in a shit storm.

968
00:51:59,648 --> 00:52:02,446
Or maybe it's, we expected
this crap to happen.

969
00:52:02,618 --> 00:52:05,109
Right.
The usual media trash bash.

970
00:52:05,287 --> 00:52:06,777
Why did he do it?

971
00:52:06,855 --> 00:52:10,154
Did he figure Cashmere McLeod would be
so honored she'd never betray the secret?

972
00:52:10,492 --> 00:52:13,620
- Wait a minute. Maybe it isn't true.
- What difference does it make?

973
00:52:13,696 --> 00:52:15,391
It'd be better
if it wasn't true.

974
00:52:15,698 --> 00:52:19,657
Why? They say Hitler never looked at
another woman after Eva Braun.

975
00:52:19,735 --> 00:52:21,327
Does that make him
better than Stanton?

976
00:52:21,403 --> 00:52:25,499
Or Jefferson, Kennedy, or any of the guys
we wish we worked for who fucked around?

977
00:52:25,974 --> 00:52:28,374
But that's not the official
line for interviews.

978
00:52:29,044 --> 00:52:32,207
No, of course not.

979
00:52:33,148 --> 00:52:37,744
Today a potentially explosive development
for Governor Jack Stanton

980
00:52:37,853 --> 00:52:41,186
in his quest for the Democratic
presidential nomination.

981
00:52:41,256 --> 00:52:42,985
A hairdresser has come
forward alleging

982
00:52:43,092 --> 00:52:45,253
a long-term affair
with the married candidate.

983
00:52:45,494 --> 00:52:48,588
The story, as yet unconfirmed,
appeared today in the Flash.

984
00:52:48,764 --> 00:52:50,755
There has been no statement yet
from the governor...

985
00:52:50,933 --> 00:52:52,901
regarding the young woman,
Cashmere McLeod...

986
00:52:53,001 --> 00:52:55,834
- Unbelievable.
- But the accusation comes right on the heels...

987
00:52:55,904 --> 00:53:00,898
of the disclosure that Governor Stanton was
arrested in 1968 in Chicago.

988
00:53:01,076 --> 00:53:03,271
Fuckin' Eye Witness News.
Goddamn it.

989
00:53:03,379 --> 00:53:07,247
- Ted Koppel wants someone from the team for his show.
- 60 Minutes wants a Sunday...

990
00:53:07,349 --> 00:53:10,614
Do we have to take this?
They're gonna dignify this garbage.

991
00:53:10,786 --> 00:53:13,755
- We have to go along with that?
- Well, we can't ignore it.

992
00:53:14,022 --> 00:53:16,684
They might have given him Chicago
'cause that was 30 years ago,

993
00:53:16,759 --> 00:53:19,284
and they might have given him Cashmere
because she was paid.

994
00:53:19,461 --> 00:53:22,430
But the two right on top of one another...
You see what I'm saying?

995
00:53:22,598 --> 00:53:24,293
How many people are going
to be saying...

996
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,392
Do we want a former radical hippie
that messes with hairdressers?

997
00:53:27,636 --> 00:53:30,036
He did not fuck
Cashmere McLeod.

998
00:53:30,539 --> 00:53:33,269
If you can't handle that simple fact,
you can leave right now.

999
00:53:37,413 --> 00:53:40,280
All right.
Let's think this through.

1000
00:53:42,151 --> 00:53:44,619
Who has thoughts about
60 Minutes?

1001
00:53:44,787 --> 00:53:48,154
Well, I think you do it.
I think you say yes to all these interviews,

1002
00:53:48,323 --> 00:53:50,314
and show 'em
we ain't got a thing to hide.

1003
00:53:50,426 --> 00:53:53,293
And the sooner the better.
We have two weeks left to the primary.

1004
00:53:53,395 --> 00:53:56,887
Right. And I think
we should take the attitude

1005
00:53:56,965 --> 00:53:58,330
that we expected this
to happen, you know?

1006
00:53:58,434 --> 00:54:00,800
It's just the usual
bullshit media trash bash.

1007
00:54:00,903 --> 00:54:04,134
Shit happens, but we're calm
in a shit storm, you know?

1008
00:54:05,407 --> 00:54:08,342
This is not near as bad
as things that happen to real people.

1009
00:54:14,516 --> 00:54:16,245
Do you agree, Henry?

1010
00:54:42,010 --> 00:54:44,501
My problem is I go out
and I run and I work out,

1011
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,616
and then I come in here
and eat donuts.

1012
00:54:48,684 --> 00:54:51,619
- Well, you know, you got to eat something.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.

1013
00:54:51,787 --> 00:54:55,883
I mean, the thing is,
is just not to eat too many of 'em.

1014
00:54:56,058 --> 00:54:59,027
I believe you're right.
If you could just have a little bit.

1015
00:54:59,161 --> 00:55:02,722
- Hey, Governor.
- Henry, my man. Sit down. Have some coffee.

1016
00:55:02,831 --> 00:55:05,026
No, I'm okay.
You gonna get some sleep tonight?

1017
00:55:05,133 --> 00:55:07,966
Absolutely.
Don't you worry about me.

1018
00:55:08,203 --> 00:55:10,000
I was just going over
some ideas with Danny here.

1019
00:55:10,072 --> 00:55:13,735
- Danny Scanlon, this is my friend Henry Burton.
- Hi.

1020
00:55:13,842 --> 00:55:17,209
- Can I get you something, Mr. Burton? Apple fritter?
- No, thanks.

1021
00:55:17,579 --> 00:55:20,514
You know that Danny here
works here every night,

1022
00:55:20,582 --> 00:55:22,914
twelve-hour shift,
$5.25 an hour?

1023
00:55:23,252 --> 00:55:26,050
But like I was telling the governor,
I don't mind.

1024
00:55:26,154 --> 00:55:29,317
I would mind if I couldn't work.
How about an apple fritter?

1025
00:55:29,491 --> 00:55:30,924
Not for me.

1026
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,887
What was the best game you saw
all year, Danny? College, not pro.

1027
00:55:35,197 --> 00:55:38,189
Utah State versus
San Diego State.

1028
00:55:38,333 --> 00:55:41,200
Oh, yes, that was
a great game, wasn't it?

1029
00:55:41,503 --> 00:55:43,835
Yeah, I saw that.
It was a great ground game.

1030
00:55:44,072 --> 00:55:49,009
- Yep. You gotta have a good ground game.
- Yeah, you do.

1031
00:55:49,278 --> 00:55:51,769
- Apple fritter?
- No, I just said...

1032
00:55:52,014 --> 00:55:54,380
- I'll have one, Dan, but just one.
- Okay.

1033
00:55:54,449 --> 00:55:59,386
I will make some fresh coffee,
and if you want some, you call me.

1034
00:55:59,454 --> 00:56:00,944
All right, Danny.
Thank you.

1035
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:09,456
You look tired, Governor.
Maybe it's time to go home.

1036
00:56:09,865 --> 00:56:13,232
- They're gonna kill me with trash.
- Not if you don't let them.

1037
00:56:13,302 --> 00:56:16,635
It's my own fault. It's my own goddamned fault.
I didn't keep it together.

1038
00:56:18,373 --> 00:56:21,865
We can still win this thing.
We're going to win it.

1039
00:56:22,377 --> 00:56:25,039
But the hits you're taking are
nothing compared to

1040
00:56:25,113 --> 00:56:26,273
what average folks
are going through.

1041
00:56:27,449 --> 00:56:29,610
Losing their jobs,
losing their homes.

1042
00:56:29,718 --> 00:56:31,618
- Keep that in your mind.
- Yes.

1043
00:56:31,720 --> 00:56:33,711
Keep the folks in your mind.

1044
00:56:33,789 --> 00:56:35,313
It's about them, isn't it?

1045
00:56:35,424 --> 00:56:37,654
Yeah, it's about them.
It's about history.

1046
00:56:37,826 --> 00:56:42,160
Well, that's truer for Susan than it is for me.
It's always been about them.

1047
00:56:42,264 --> 00:56:44,255
Like this fella,
Danny Scanlon.

1048
00:56:44,933 --> 00:56:47,060
Worked every day
since he was 14.

1049
00:56:47,603 --> 00:56:50,504
Couldn't get insurance,
couldn't get his leg fixed right.

1050
00:56:51,173 --> 00:56:52,731
Doesn't complain.

1051
00:56:53,642 --> 00:56:56,509
Doesn't do anyone any harm.
Achin' to do good.

1052
00:56:58,580 --> 00:57:00,445
God, if you...

1053
00:57:01,416 --> 00:57:02,974
If you let a man
like that go down,

1054
00:57:03,085 --> 00:57:05,519
you don't deserve to take up space
on this planet, do you?

1055
00:57:05,687 --> 00:57:07,848
- We won't let him go down.
- No.

1056
00:57:24,306 --> 00:57:28,003
- Yeah.
- Bummer, Henry, bummer.

1057
00:57:28,377 --> 00:57:31,608
- Libby?
- Yeah. She's got tapes.

1058
00:57:31,780 --> 00:57:33,213
Who?
Who's got tapes?

1059
00:57:33,482 --> 00:57:35,609
Cashmere, the hair slut,
you moron.

1060
00:57:35,717 --> 00:57:37,446
She's gonna play 'em
at her press conference tomorrow.

1061
00:57:37,519 --> 00:57:39,680
I do not have time
for ineptitude.

1062
00:57:39,988 --> 00:57:42,149
Now go tell Jack and Susan
the cunt's got tapes,

1063
00:57:42,224 --> 00:57:44,624
and get your ass
back to Mammoth Falls.

1064
00:58:02,310 --> 00:58:04,244
- Hey, Henry.
- Morning.

1065
00:58:04,346 --> 00:58:06,814
Honey, I have to run.
I will. Hold on.

1066
00:58:07,516 --> 00:58:10,007
The new member of the swimming team
wants to talk to you.

1067
00:58:10,185 --> 00:58:14,246
Hey, Jackie boy.
That's great. You made it.

1068
00:58:14,423 --> 00:58:17,085
Well, that's great.
We're proud of you.

1069
00:58:17,893 --> 00:58:21,158
Yeah. No, no, just a bunch of
campaign garbage, that's all.

1070
00:58:21,229 --> 00:58:23,094
Governor, this... this can't wait.

1071
00:58:24,232 --> 00:58:27,326
All right. Well, we'll call you tonight.
I love you too. Bye-bye.

1072
00:58:27,502 --> 00:58:30,232
- What is it?
- I was just talking to Libby.

1073
00:58:30,405 --> 00:58:33,169
She says Cashmere McLeod
has tape recordings of you and her

1074
00:58:33,275 --> 00:58:34,902
talking on
the phone together,

1075
00:58:35,010 --> 00:58:37,570
and she's gonna play them
at a press conference tomorrow.

1076
00:58:41,683 --> 00:58:44,117
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- How bad?

1077
00:58:44,286 --> 00:58:47,915
- I don't know.
- Did you tell her... Henry, could you excuse us, please?

1078
00:58:48,090 --> 00:58:49,421
Sure.

1079
00:58:57,065 --> 00:59:00,193
Well, it is cold here, Sam,
but these are friendly people.

1080
00:59:00,268 --> 00:59:01,394
It reminds me a lot of home.

1081
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:03,199
I like her hair that way.

1082
00:59:03,305 --> 00:59:07,207
- It softens her face.
- Yes. Could be longer though.

1083
00:59:07,576 --> 00:59:09,373
If you hung out
with us for a day,

1084
00:59:09,544 --> 00:59:13,036
you'd see what the folks
are really interested in is the future.

1085
00:59:13,115 --> 00:59:14,446
He's gotten fat.

1086
00:59:14,549 --> 00:59:16,881
And he jogs.
Can you imagine how much he eats?

1087
00:59:16,952 --> 00:59:18,647
Can you imagine
what he eats?

1088
00:59:18,754 --> 00:59:20,244
What's he governor of again?

1089
00:59:20,322 --> 00:59:23,223
- Let me see. It's not Georgia.
- Governor, just to set the record straight.

1090
00:59:23,291 --> 00:59:25,919
- Did you have an affair with Cashmere McLeod?
- Not Florida.

1091
00:59:25,994 --> 00:59:29,452
Now, Sam, I am not gonna
dignify that trash.

1092
00:59:29,631 --> 00:59:32,293
And I am disappointed,
at a time when the American people...

1093
00:59:32,467 --> 00:59:34,230
have an awful lot
they're concerned about.

1094
00:59:34,402 --> 00:59:37,735
I saw a picture of the hairdresser.
Not bad.

1095
00:59:37,906 --> 00:59:40,067
We've had tough times in our marriage,
but we've worked them out.

1096
00:59:40,142 --> 00:59:41,803
I don't think this is fair.

1097
00:59:43,345 --> 00:59:47,111
People suffer and struggle
and go through all sorts of crazy things.

1098
00:59:47,415 --> 00:59:49,315
The important thing is
we're still here.

1099
00:59:49,785 --> 00:59:54,154
If you want to draw a political lesson
from that about Jack's character,

1100
00:59:54,322 --> 00:59:56,290
here it is, he will stick.

1101
00:59:56,458 --> 00:59:58,858
He will work
through the tough times.

1102
00:59:59,027 --> 01:00:02,827
He will wake up every morning and bust
his butt for the American people.

1103
01:00:02,998 --> 01:00:05,159
Bust his butt.
The mouth on her.

1104
01:00:05,267 --> 01:00:07,132
He should just take
her in hand.

1105
01:00:07,602 --> 01:00:10,662
- Yeah, right.
- Yeah, but she's honest. They had some tough times.

1106
01:00:10,806 --> 01:00:13,366
Maybe that's when
he screwed the hairdresser.

1107
01:00:14,509 --> 01:00:18,309
And with that we come to the end
of The Week In Washington.

1108
01:00:18,380 --> 01:00:20,439
- Governor and Mrs. Stanton, thank you for joining us.
- Yeah?

1109
01:00:20,515 --> 01:00:22,210
- Hi.
- Thank you.

1110
01:00:22,317 --> 01:00:23,511
Are you watching?

1111
01:00:23,618 --> 01:00:25,176
Yeah, it's just going off now.

1112
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,517
We're out.
Thanks, everybody.

1113
01:00:29,291 --> 01:00:32,021
And it's over.
How'd it play where you are?

1114
01:00:32,194 --> 01:00:33,957
Wasn't she fantastic?

1115
01:00:34,129 --> 01:00:37,997
Yeah, great. But they'd like to see
her hair a little longer.

1116
01:00:40,001 --> 01:00:42,526
- Watch your step, sir.
- Thank you.

1117
01:00:48,243 --> 01:00:49,676
Hey.

1118
01:00:49,744 --> 01:00:51,712
Hey! Henry!

1119
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,371
- Oh, it's good to see you.
- How ya doin'?

1120
01:00:54,482 --> 01:00:55,915
- How long you in town for?
- Not long.

1121
01:00:56,017 --> 01:01:00,044
No time to talk. We gotta get to Sailor's
and watch old Cashmere with an expert.

1122
01:01:00,655 --> 01:01:02,589
You take care
of yourself now, dear.

1123
01:01:03,558 --> 01:01:05,890
I'll be home for dinner.
We'll take my truck.

1124
01:01:07,229 --> 01:01:08,719
I...

1125
01:01:12,934 --> 01:01:16,392
<i>And my friends around
to help me</i>

1126
01:01:16,504 --> 01:01:19,234
So you met Jack and Susan in Florida
working for McGovern?

1127
01:01:19,341 --> 01:01:22,037
- Yep.
- What were they like?

1128
01:01:23,612 --> 01:01:26,740
Glorious.
Golden. Golden.

1129
01:01:27,249 --> 01:01:32,448
- <i>And here I am just missing you again</i>
- Did they have any...

1130
01:01:32,621 --> 01:01:35,385
<i>Please, mister, please</i>

1131
01:01:36,057 --> 01:01:39,049
<i>Don't play B-17</i>

1132
01:01:39,461 --> 01:01:43,022
<i>It was our song, it was her song</i>

1133
01:01:43,265 --> 01:01:45,733
- Sing with me, Henry.
- <i>But it's over</i>

1134
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:49,133
<i>Please, mister, please</i>

1135
01:01:49,304 --> 01:01:52,899
- <i>If you know what I mean</i>
- All right!

1136
01:01:52,974 --> 01:01:57,434
<i>I don't ever want to play
that song again</i>

1137
01:02:02,584 --> 01:02:03,812
Sailorman!

1138
01:02:04,719 --> 01:02:06,482
Libby. Good to see ya, girl.

1139
01:02:06,588 --> 01:02:07,885
How was the booby hatch?

1140
01:02:07,956 --> 01:02:10,754
Well, a better class of drugs
than the old days.

1141
01:02:10,926 --> 01:02:12,655
- Where's the beer?
- Hey.

1142
01:02:15,096 --> 01:02:18,395
- Welcome to the world of electronics. Brewski.
- Thanks.

1143
01:02:18,466 --> 01:02:20,957
Cashmere McLeod and her attorney
are about to make...

1144
01:02:21,069 --> 01:02:23,765
- Here she comes.
- Public the tapes which she says prove her allegations...

1145
01:02:23,838 --> 01:02:27,274
- Recording.
- Against Governor Jack Stanton.

1146
01:02:29,644 --> 01:02:32,169
I know just what she looked
like in high school.

1147
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,646
I'm Sherman Presley,
Ms. McLeod's attorney.

1148
01:02:34,816 --> 01:02:36,647
I want to make
one thing clear.

1149
01:02:36,818 --> 01:02:39,685
We'll take no questions
until after the playing of the tapes.

1150
01:02:40,322 --> 01:02:42,290
And this will not be
an inquisition.

1151
01:02:42,357 --> 01:02:44,655
Yeah, right.
We get the inquisition.

1152
01:02:44,759 --> 01:02:48,820
The tapes were recorded
on Miss McLeod's phone machine.

1153
01:02:49,331 --> 01:02:52,494
Portions you're about to hear were recorded
just before Thanksgiving.

1154
01:02:53,435 --> 01:02:56,268
Governor Jack Stanton
seduced me.

1155
01:02:56,338 --> 01:02:58,499
Can you back that up?

1156
01:02:58,673 --> 01:03:01,972
And I have tapes
to prove it.

1157
01:03:04,679 --> 01:03:06,271
I'm on my way
to meet with the family.

1158
01:03:06,348 --> 01:03:07,940
But you said you loved me.

1159
01:03:08,316 --> 01:03:12,013
You said no one could do
the things I did to you.

1160
01:03:12,620 --> 01:03:16,056
- I could come up there.
- God, what a whiny bitch!

1161
01:03:16,324 --> 01:03:18,815
Remember that time
I met you in Dallas?

1162
01:03:18,893 --> 01:03:22,158
I get hot
just thinkin' about it.

1163
01:03:22,230 --> 01:03:24,130
- Oh, my God.
- What you doin' this weekend?

1164
01:03:24,199 --> 01:03:27,191
Mmm, nothing,
now that you're leaving.

1165
01:03:27,369 --> 01:03:29,701
Stay home, crack open
a bottle of Chablis.

1166
01:03:29,871 --> 01:03:32,203
Do you think it's at all
possible to get laid?

1167
01:03:32,374 --> 01:03:36,674
I'd say it's entirely possible,
if you postpone that trip.

1168
01:03:36,845 --> 01:03:38,369
I'm too horny
to think straight.

1169
01:03:38,980 --> 01:03:43,917
As you can see, these tapes were recorded
on Miss McLeod's phone machine...

1170
01:03:44,019 --> 01:03:46,317
All right, I'm recording the rest of this bullshit.
Let's get to work.

1171
01:03:46,388 --> 01:03:49,755
I'm gonna kill him.
How could he be so fuckin' dumb?

1172
01:03:49,858 --> 01:03:52,190
There's a couple of abrupt cutouts in here.
Let's replay it.

1173
01:03:52,327 --> 01:03:54,420
I'm on my way to meet
with the family.

1174
01:03:54,529 --> 01:03:56,588
That's a pretty abrupt
cutout right there.

1175
01:03:57,065 --> 01:03:58,828
What you doin' this weekend?

1176
01:03:58,900 --> 01:04:00,834
That's picked up
In mid sentence, I think.

1177
01:04:00,902 --> 01:04:02,028
I mean, it could be.

1178
01:04:02,737 --> 01:04:04,932
Stay home, crack open
a bottle of Chablis.

1179
01:04:05,507 --> 01:04:07,532
Do you think it's at all
possible to get laid?

1180
01:04:08,009 --> 01:04:09,840
Now, that breakup
in the middle,

1181
01:04:09,911 --> 01:04:12,709
that could be cellular static,
or they might have used it to cover.

1182
01:04:12,781 --> 01:04:16,114
Wait a second.
Wait a goddamned second.

1183
01:04:17,118 --> 01:04:18,107
Play that line again.

1184
01:04:19,921 --> 01:04:22,048
Do you think it's at all
possible to get laid?

1185
01:04:22,223 --> 01:04:26,683
At all possible to get laid.
Again.

1186
01:04:26,761 --> 01:04:28,592
- What?
- Just again, damn it.

1187
01:04:28,763 --> 01:04:31,197
Do you think it's at all
possible to get laid?

1188
01:04:34,936 --> 01:04:37,928
Yourself. Yourself!

1189
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:42,542
Hello? You're not crackin' up, are you?
'Cause two of us would be one too many.

1190
01:04:42,710 --> 01:04:45,873
Un-fucking-believable!
Yourself...

1191
01:04:45,947 --> 01:04:49,280
He said, do you think it's at all
possible to get yourself laid?

1192
01:04:49,384 --> 01:04:52,649
He was talking to me. He said he didn't
want me too horny to think straight.

1193
01:04:52,787 --> 01:04:54,550
It was just before
Thanksgiving.

1194
01:04:54,722 --> 01:04:58,590
Okay, look. Play it again from the top.
Just his lines. One at a time.

1195
01:04:58,893 --> 01:05:01,885
- Shit!
- I'm on my way to meet with the family.

1196
01:05:01,963 --> 01:05:03,760
Meet with the family.

1197
01:05:03,832 --> 01:05:06,130
There was an accident,
a bender on the interstate.

1198
01:05:06,301 --> 01:05:08,826
That's the family he was gonna meet.
Okay, next line, his.

1199
01:05:09,337 --> 01:05:10,964
What you doin' this weekend?

1200
01:05:12,107 --> 01:05:13,574
An abrupt cutout, right?

1201
01:05:13,641 --> 01:05:15,233
Yep.

1202
01:05:15,310 --> 01:05:17,278
He said, what are you doin'
this weekend, Henry?

1203
01:05:17,946 --> 01:05:21,939
I remember he called me Henry. I remember
the whole call, it meant so much to me.

1204
01:05:22,016 --> 01:05:24,314
Jesus Christ!
We got her!

1205
01:05:25,019 --> 01:05:28,011
You got her. We don't.
How do we prove it?

1206
01:05:30,358 --> 01:05:33,350
Ah, no, no.
No. Libby, they...

1207
01:05:33,795 --> 01:05:35,660
We can't let 'em get away
with this.

1208
01:05:36,197 --> 01:05:38,825
Come on. This cannot be a world
that lets them get away with it!

1209
01:05:38,933 --> 01:05:43,097
Oh, my. Imagine a black boy sayin' that.
What a privileged fuckin' life you've had.

1210
01:05:43,433 --> 01:05:45,097
But nevermind
about the world, baby.

1211
01:05:45,206 --> 01:05:47,868
I won't let 'em get away with it.
I will find a way.

1212
01:05:48,343 --> 01:05:51,506
I'm gonna get a lead on where Ted Koppel
and Larry King are this weekend.

1213
01:05:51,613 --> 01:05:53,672
Can you nail the conversations
on their cellulars?

1214
01:05:53,781 --> 01:05:56,272
- Have to rent a van, track 'em. Sure.
- Do it.

1215
01:05:56,351 --> 01:05:59,514
Then we'll pick the best one.
Let's go, Henry.

1216
01:06:00,321 --> 01:06:02,016
We gotta change
the world now.

1217
01:06:04,192 --> 01:06:05,955
You asshole!

1218
01:06:06,027 --> 01:06:10,521
Yes, it was off a cellular telephone,
but don't pull that outraged-puppy shit with me.

1219
01:06:10,698 --> 01:06:13,724
It's not like you've suddenly become
an innocent because the tape is phony.

1220
01:06:13,902 --> 01:06:16,996
God! I wish we'd castrated you
when we had the chance.

1221
01:06:17,138 --> 01:06:20,198
- Libby, you're talking on a cellular phone!
- Oh, shit!

1222
01:06:22,343 --> 01:06:25,312
Yes, I...
Goddamned sure I know who did it.

1223
01:06:26,147 --> 01:06:27,205
Yes.

1224
01:06:27,849 --> 01:06:31,376
I'll get it done.
Okay. Bye.

1225
01:06:31,553 --> 01:06:33,680
Wait a minute.
You know who did it?

1226
01:06:33,755 --> 01:06:36,383
Yes. Oh, yes, indeedy.

1227
01:06:37,725 --> 01:06:40,023
- What the...
- Triumphant day, huh, Randy?

1228
01:06:40,094 --> 01:06:41,721
Perhaps your best day.

1229
01:06:41,829 --> 01:06:45,094
- Is that Cashmere on the line? Let me say hi.
- No, it's not.

1230
01:06:45,233 --> 01:06:47,758
Say good-bye to Sherman Presley then.
We've got business.

1231
01:06:47,869 --> 01:06:49,700
It's not Sherman Presley,
whoever he is.

1232
01:06:49,771 --> 01:06:52,433
You've branched out, Randy.
Electronics now, huh?

1233
01:06:52,540 --> 01:06:53,871
I don't know
what you're talking about.

1234
01:06:53,942 --> 01:06:57,241
You've been recording your friend the governor's
private conversations, haven't you?

1235
01:06:57,345 --> 01:07:00,109
What? Are you...
Come on, why would I do that?

1236
01:07:00,448 --> 01:07:03,008
I'm a big Stanton supporter.
I always have been.

1237
01:07:03,084 --> 01:07:05,075
Why, he's puttin' this state
right on the map.

1238
01:07:05,186 --> 01:07:08,678
I've only been here 20 seconds
and you've already exhausted my patience.

1239
01:07:08,856 --> 01:07:10,380
I'm gonna want
a signed confession.

1240
01:07:10,525 --> 01:07:13,961
Libby, put that thing away before you do
something stupid and get yourself into trouble!

1241
01:07:14,128 --> 01:07:16,562
Randy, you wet fart
of a human turd,

1242
01:07:16,731 --> 01:07:20,064
you ambushed Jack Stanton, and you're gonna
admit it or you're gonna die.

1243
01:07:20,134 --> 01:07:23,900
- Libby, you're crazy!
- Certi-fuckin'-fiably! At last, a fact.

1244
01:07:23,972 --> 01:07:25,439
Buddy, you'll go to jail too!

1245
01:07:25,540 --> 01:07:27,303
I don't know
anything about this.

1246
01:07:27,475 --> 01:07:29,443
He's shocked.
He had no idea.

1247
01:07:29,611 --> 01:07:32,546
Now, Randy, you gonna
write this out in longhand?

1248
01:07:32,714 --> 01:07:35,774
- I don't know what you're talkin' about.
- Enough.

1249
01:07:35,950 --> 01:07:39,579
- You know what? I'm gonna blow your nuts off.
- Oh, shit!

1250
01:07:39,654 --> 01:07:41,747
Yes, I'm a gay lesbian woman.

1251
01:07:41,823 --> 01:07:44,155
I do not mythologize
the male sexual organ.

1252
01:07:44,292 --> 01:07:47,955
- God!
- Now, now, you tiny scumbag.

1253
01:07:48,062 --> 01:07:49,290
I know you did it.

1254
01:07:49,397 --> 01:07:51,922
You're on retainer to the Flash.
I know that.

1255
01:07:52,100 --> 01:07:53,829
And you stupid little shit!

1256
01:07:54,002 --> 01:07:57,961
You couldn't just make do with the crap
Jack actually did. You had to embellish it.

1257
01:07:58,139 --> 01:08:00,164
Mister, you're about
to become missus.

1258
01:08:00,341 --> 01:08:04,402
- Libby, come on. Don't!
- You have a choice to make, and very quickly.

1259
01:08:04,579 --> 01:08:08,310
Just how crazy is Libby?
And you're gonna have to do it now.

1260
01:08:08,483 --> 01:08:10,576
One... two...

1261
01:08:11,819 --> 01:08:14,287
Oh, this is gonna be fun.

1262
01:08:14,355 --> 01:08:16,255
Okay! Okay! Okay!

1263
01:08:16,324 --> 01:08:19,020
Very good. Very wise.

1264
01:08:19,193 --> 01:08:24,290
Now, I want you to be eloquent in this letter
you're about to write...

1265
01:08:25,199 --> 01:08:27,929
and guilt-ridden
about your jealousy and greed.

1266
01:08:28,102 --> 01:08:29,865
You could not
live with yourself

1267
01:08:29,971 --> 01:08:32,633
if you deprived the American people
of this man.

1268
01:08:32,940 --> 01:08:35,431
Tonight an aide
of Governor Jack Stanton

1269
01:08:35,510 --> 01:08:37,501
has asked to join us
in order to play a tape.

1270
01:08:38,346 --> 01:08:41,110
I haven't heard this tape yet,
but my producer has.

1271
01:08:41,182 --> 01:08:44,845
We'd like to thank her for letting us go on
with such short notice.

1272
01:08:45,353 --> 01:08:46,547
Okay, here we go.

1273
01:08:47,055 --> 01:08:49,546
I can be there
in 15 minutes.

1274
01:08:49,724 --> 01:08:51,658
I could come up there, sugar.

1275
01:08:51,726 --> 01:08:54,388
No, no, no. I can't wait.
I have to have it now, okay?

1276
01:08:54,562 --> 01:08:58,555
Oh, entirely.
I get hot just thinkin' about it.

1277
01:08:58,733 --> 01:09:01,566
- Look at King. Look at his face.
- Oh, my God.

1278
01:09:02,870 --> 01:09:05,464
- Now, that sounded like me.
- It was you, Larry,

1279
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,007
asking the headwaiter at Cafe des Artistes
could he seat you right away...

1280
01:09:09,077 --> 01:09:11,307
because you hadn't had anything to eat
since morning.

1281
01:09:11,379 --> 01:09:14,837
- Well, how'd... How did you...
- We recorded it off your cell phone.

1282
01:09:15,983 --> 01:09:18,144
Now I would like to read
a letter from the man

1283
01:09:18,219 --> 01:09:20,483
who did the same thing
to Governor Stanton.

1284
01:09:20,855 --> 01:09:23,255
To whom it may concern,

1285
01:09:23,424 --> 01:09:25,858
I am an employee of the Flash.

1286
01:09:26,027 --> 01:09:28,825
I admit taking innocent statements
of Governor Jack Stanton...

1287
01:09:28,896 --> 01:09:31,524
off his cellular phone,
editing them...

1288
01:09:31,599 --> 01:09:35,763
and paying Cashmere McLeod to pretend
she was having a conversation with him.

1289
01:09:35,937 --> 01:09:38,929
I did this for my own gain
and advancement.

1290
01:09:39,273 --> 01:09:42,709
I confess it now because I can no longer
live with the fear

1291
01:09:42,777 --> 01:09:45,211
that I may deprive
the American people

1292
01:09:45,380 --> 01:09:47,575
of a great man.

1293
01:09:49,350 --> 01:09:51,750
And it's signed, Randy Culligan,
Attorney at Law.

1294
01:09:51,853 --> 01:09:54,879
Don't you think the media owes
Governor Stanton an apology?

1295
01:09:55,056 --> 01:09:59,789
- I mean, spreading this kind of unsubstantiated garbage...
- Good, very good.

1296
01:09:59,894 --> 01:10:02,385
It should be harder than this
to smear an innocent man.

1297
01:10:02,563 --> 01:10:04,724
There you go, Daisy.

1298
01:10:04,799 --> 01:10:07,734
We'll be right back with your
phone calls. Don't go away.

1299
01:10:07,802 --> 01:10:09,269
How'd you get my cellular?

1300
01:10:10,605 --> 01:10:14,097
Henry, well done.
She was...

1301
01:10:15,042 --> 01:10:16,202
She was so great!

1302
01:10:23,949 --> 01:10:26,716
There's people out there.

1303
01:10:47,108 --> 01:10:49,167
I want to thank you all
for stickin' with us

1304
01:10:49,277 --> 01:10:51,006
and workin' so hard
through all this.

1305
01:10:51,179 --> 01:10:55,275
We don't have much time,
but with your help and the grace of God,

1306
01:10:55,349 --> 01:10:58,443
we will get done
what needs to get done.

1307
01:10:58,519 --> 01:11:00,680
You know, it's been pretty awful,
but...

1308
01:11:00,855 --> 01:11:03,949
we're still here!

1309
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,034
Well, I know it would be easy to get
a lot of laughs tonight

1310
01:11:15,203 --> 01:11:19,003
by doing some cheap blow-dry jokes,
so I'll just get started.

1311
01:11:20,775 --> 01:11:23,835
It all started innocently enough
for Governor Stanton.

1312
01:11:23,945 --> 01:11:28,006
He walked in one day and
he asked for a little trim.

1313
01:11:28,182 --> 01:11:31,015
And some longer bangs.

1314
01:11:32,487 --> 01:11:34,512
They don't care
about the fine points.

1315
01:11:35,389 --> 01:11:37,619
No. It would ruin
the punchline.

1316
01:11:38,125 --> 01:11:41,117
Does anyone ever survive
one of these feeding frenzies?

1317
01:11:41,195 --> 01:11:43,527
Well, if they've been
around a while, maybe.

1318
01:11:43,631 --> 01:11:45,064
But this is the first thing

1319
01:11:45,166 --> 01:11:46,724
most people will hear
about Jack Stanton,

1320
01:11:46,834 --> 01:11:48,631
and you've got to figure
he's history.

1321
01:11:49,370 --> 01:11:53,067
Fuckin' idiot!
God... damn... her!

1322
01:11:53,241 --> 01:11:59,510
<i>O'er the land of the free</i>

1323
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,410
<i>And the home</i>

1324
01:12:02,583 --> 01:12:08,021
<i>Of the brave</i>

1325
01:12:13,761 --> 01:12:15,058
Thank you, Phil.

1326
01:12:16,998 --> 01:12:20,263
Folks, as the head of the
Portsmouth Democratic Party,

1327
01:12:21,002 --> 01:12:23,527
it's my pleasure
to introduce to you

1328
01:12:23,704 --> 01:12:26,605
one of the South's
most progressive governors,

1329
01:12:26,774 --> 01:12:28,435
and the husband
of one of the best little

1330
01:12:28,543 --> 01:12:30,443
fly-fishermen
to ever put on waders.

1331
01:12:30,611 --> 01:12:33,079
Please welcome
Governor Jack Stanton!

1332
01:12:44,125 --> 01:12:46,855
Thank you for that
kind introduction, Tommy,

1333
01:12:47,028 --> 01:12:50,623
and thank you
for the fish.

1334
01:12:50,798 --> 01:12:54,393
Yeah, he gave me a big slab-sided,
white-bellied fella.

1335
01:12:54,468 --> 01:12:56,368
Looked a lot like me.

1336
01:12:56,537 --> 01:12:58,300
Put it right on the grill
and gave it some heat,

1337
01:12:58,472 --> 01:13:01,134
kinda like they're doing
to me now too.

1338
01:13:01,309 --> 01:13:03,937
I want... I want to thank you
for comin' out tonight.

1339
01:13:04,111 --> 01:13:06,944
I know how hard you work
and how little time you have to rest.

1340
01:13:07,548 --> 01:13:09,812
Some of us got
more time than we'd like.

1341
01:13:09,917 --> 01:13:12,317
Right. Right.
I understand.

1342
01:13:12,486 --> 01:13:15,978
In fact, since this factory closed,
how many of you have found work?

1343
01:13:16,457 --> 01:13:17,981
Let me see a show of hands.

1344
01:13:19,093 --> 01:13:20,651
Right. Right.

1345
01:13:20,828 --> 01:13:23,058
And how many of you work jobs
that just pay the rent

1346
01:13:23,130 --> 01:13:24,654
no matter how many hours
you put in?

1347
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,731
I see. My mama worked jobs
like that after my daddy died.

1348
01:13:29,904 --> 01:13:34,500
I remember her comin' home from work
just bone-weary. You know what I mean.

1349
01:13:34,675 --> 01:13:38,167
And I know she wanted to play with me
and ask me about school.

1350
01:13:38,346 --> 01:13:40,280
But sometimes you're just
too tired to do anything...

1351
01:13:40,348 --> 01:13:42,646
but heat up a TV dinner and
blob out in front of the tube.

1352
01:13:42,817 --> 01:13:45,843
- You got that one right.
- There you go.

1353
01:13:46,020 --> 01:13:49,012
And I don't have to tell you how hard
it is to be lookin' for work.

1354
01:13:49,190 --> 01:13:52,159
Hey, I don't have to tell you
anything about hard times.

1355
01:13:52,326 --> 01:13:53,953
So you know
what I'm gonna do?

1356
01:13:54,128 --> 01:13:57,655
I'm gonna do something really outrageous.
I'm gonna tell the truth.

1357
01:14:00,935 --> 01:14:02,698
I know what you're thinkin'.

1358
01:14:02,870 --> 01:14:05,168
You're thinkin' he must really
be desperate to do that,

1359
01:14:05,306 --> 01:14:08,673
but if you had to swallow
enough sh... garbage...

1360
01:14:08,776 --> 01:14:11,142
You can say shit.
We're X-rated.

1361
01:14:12,546 --> 01:14:15,174
Yeah, me too, if you believe
what you read in the paper.

1362
01:14:23,024 --> 01:14:25,185
Okay. All right.

1363
01:14:25,559 --> 01:14:27,220
Here's the truth.

1364
01:14:27,328 --> 01:14:29,455
No politician can
reopen this factory,

1365
01:14:29,630 --> 01:14:33,191
or bring back the shipyard jobs
or make your union strong again.

1366
01:14:33,367 --> 01:14:36,302
No politician can make it be
the way it used to be,

1367
01:14:36,470 --> 01:14:40,065
because we're living in a new world now,
a world without economic borders.

1368
01:14:40,241 --> 01:14:43,836
A guy can push a button in New York
and move a billion dollars to Tokyo.

1369
01:14:44,345 --> 01:14:47,678
And in that world, muscle jobs go
where muscle labor is cheap,

1370
01:14:47,748 --> 01:14:49,238
and that is not here.

1371
01:14:50,651 --> 01:14:54,018
So if you want to compete, you're gonna
have to exercise a different set of muscles.

1372
01:14:54,088 --> 01:14:55,385
The one between your ears.

1373
01:14:55,923 --> 01:14:59,017
- He's lost 'em.
- Fuck 'em. He's got me.

1374
01:14:59,093 --> 01:15:01,425
Now, this whole country's gonna have to
go back to school.

1375
01:15:01,595 --> 01:15:04,086
We're gonna have to get smarter,
learn new skills.

1376
01:15:04,265 --> 01:15:06,733
And I will make you this deal,
I will work hard for you.

1377
01:15:06,834 --> 01:15:08,665
I will wake up every morning
thinkin' about you.

1378
01:15:08,736 --> 01:15:11,534
I will fight, sweat and bleed
to get the money to make education

1379
01:15:11,706 --> 01:15:13,765
a lifetime thing
in this country,

1380
01:15:13,874 --> 01:15:16,104
to give you the support
you need to move up.

1381
01:15:17,111 --> 01:15:20,945
But you have got to do
the heavy lifting your own selves.

1382
01:15:22,016 --> 01:15:24,507
Now, you know I've taken a lot of hits
in this campaign.

1383
01:15:25,052 --> 01:15:26,383
But you know
what that means?

1384
01:15:26,454 --> 01:15:28,888
It means someone thinks
that you're only interested

1385
01:15:28,956 --> 01:15:31,754
in the kind of garbage
that they've been throwin' at me.

1386
01:15:32,026 --> 01:15:35,792
So Tuesday, when you go to cast your vote,
you think about that.

1387
01:15:35,963 --> 01:15:38,090
You think about what
you're really interested in,

1388
01:15:38,199 --> 01:15:40,793
and then pick your candidate.

1389
01:15:40,968 --> 01:15:43,232
Yeah!

1390
01:15:56,617 --> 01:15:58,244
Thank you.

1391
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,289
I don't think I'll be able
to take it if he loses.

1392
01:16:04,792 --> 01:16:07,886
If he does lose, maybe we want to
go away for a while.

1393
01:16:08,062 --> 01:16:10,997
Try some non-campaign sex,
see if it holds up?

1394
01:16:17,004 --> 01:16:19,495
Goddamn it, Richard.
Why are you always in my room?

1395
01:16:20,307 --> 01:16:22,332
'Cause it's neater.

1396
01:16:23,077 --> 01:16:25,409
Henry, when this is all over,
you and me ought to work together.

1397
01:16:25,579 --> 01:16:28,412
Set up a consulting firm.
Tap that black Hotchkiss vote.

1398
01:16:28,482 --> 01:16:31,679
Both of you, stop with the when this is over,
we are pros crap.

1399
01:16:31,852 --> 01:16:34,343
Maybe you're pros, but I've
gotten emotionally involved.

1400
01:16:35,189 --> 01:16:37,020
- Can I sleep here?
- No!

1401
01:16:37,491 --> 01:16:39,083
All right. Shit.

1402
01:16:42,963 --> 01:16:45,591
See, a pro knows
how to say good-bye.

1403
01:16:50,805 --> 01:16:53,433
It's primary day in New Hampshire
where the polls are still open.

1404
01:16:53,507 --> 01:16:55,873
Harris is a serious man and
has serious things to say

1405
01:16:55,976 --> 01:16:57,603
about America's
economic future.

1406
01:16:57,678 --> 01:16:59,339
People of this country
recognize that,

1407
01:16:59,446 --> 01:17:01,676
and that's why we're
going to see upsets today.

1408
01:17:01,849 --> 01:17:03,874
But the biggest upset has got to be
for Jack Stanton.

1409
01:17:03,984 --> 01:17:07,715
Stanton, like George Romney,
Ed Muskie, Gary Hart before him,

1410
01:17:07,822 --> 01:17:09,881
flamed for an instant
then burned out.

1411
01:17:10,057 --> 01:17:11,649
He's just stirring
the ashes now.

1412
01:17:12,459 --> 01:17:14,893
I can't understand
why we don't just quit.

1413
01:17:16,564 --> 01:17:18,555
I mean, don't we know
we're over?

1414
01:17:19,233 --> 01:17:21,827
An entire industry
of political experts

1415
01:17:22,002 --> 01:17:24,368
has explained
why we're dead.

1416
01:17:24,538 --> 01:17:26,699
Why are we still
walking around?

1417
01:17:26,874 --> 01:17:30,366
- The fact is Jack...
- If it rains across the upper Midwest.

1418
01:17:31,045 --> 01:17:33,570
And with 15% of the vote in,

1419
01:17:33,747 --> 01:17:37,706
we are predicting Lawrence Harris to win
in New Hampshire.

1420
01:17:37,885 --> 01:17:41,685
Shit, that ain't nothin'.
It's his own state. He's gotta win here.

1421
01:17:42,590 --> 01:17:45,582
Governor Jack Stanton, who is
still campaigning, by the way,

1422
01:17:45,726 --> 01:17:47,318
has obviously decided to fight

1423
01:17:47,394 --> 01:17:48,418
right down to the wire,

1424
01:17:48,562 --> 01:17:52,191
and is in downtown Manchester
on this cold and rainy night,

1425
01:17:52,266 --> 01:17:54,200
fighting to pick up
any last-minute votes.

1426
01:17:54,368 --> 01:17:57,269
This has been his technique all along,
and many are surprised

1427
01:17:57,438 --> 01:17:59,599
just how effective
it has been.

1428
01:17:59,707 --> 01:18:03,541
According to exit polls,
an overwhelming number of Stanton voters say...

1429
01:18:03,611 --> 01:18:07,012
the deciding factor for them was
that they actually met the governor.

1430
01:18:07,181 --> 01:18:09,741
So we predict Governor Jack Stanton
a close second

1431
01:18:09,917 --> 01:18:13,250
to Lawrence Harris, with Nilson and Martin
a distant third and fourth.

1432
01:18:13,420 --> 01:18:17,117
- I'll be a son of a bitch!
- Don't be discouraged. We could still win!

1433
01:18:17,291 --> 01:18:19,782
Are you crazy?
Didn't you hear?

1434
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:23,123
We're second. We're alive.
We're a fuckin' miracle, man.

1435
01:18:35,876 --> 01:18:38,071
We have a chance now,
a real chance.

1436
01:18:38,145 --> 01:18:40,045
If we could just
get rid of Harris.

1437
01:18:40,114 --> 01:18:42,082
Harris'll probably
take Colorado.

1438
01:18:42,249 --> 01:18:45,047
He could take Florida too,
unless you start hitting him.

1439
01:18:45,219 --> 01:18:48,450
- I'll get Florida. It's the South.
- But it's Jewish.

1440
01:18:48,622 --> 01:18:50,988
You got to fire off a silver
bullet in Florida, Jack.

1441
01:18:51,158 --> 01:18:53,217
Without Harris
we have the field.

1442
01:18:53,394 --> 01:18:55,760
No. Negative'll boomerang.
I know it.

1443
01:18:55,829 --> 01:18:58,593
I'm not goin' negative.

1444
01:18:58,766 --> 01:19:01,758
For president, Jack Stanton
or Lawrence Harris?

1445
01:19:02,102 --> 01:19:04,297
I served my country in Korea,

1446
01:19:04,471 --> 01:19:06,439
and my boy Jeff fought
in the Gulf War.

1447
01:19:06,941 --> 01:19:07,930
Jack Stanton dodged

1448
01:19:08,008 --> 01:19:09,270
the Vietnam draft,

1449
01:19:09,343 --> 01:19:12,835
and used political connections
to cover up his antiwar arrest record.

1450
01:19:13,614 --> 01:19:15,980
I believe in real solutions
and telling the truth.

1451
01:19:16,517 --> 01:19:19,611
Jack Stanton believes in glib answers
to tough questions,

1452
01:19:19,787 --> 01:19:21,948
about his country
and himself

1453
01:19:22,323 --> 01:19:23,813
I'm Lawrence Harris.

1454
01:19:23,924 --> 01:19:26,757
I'll fight the tough fights.
I won't run away.

1455
01:19:27,361 --> 01:19:29,022
It's a question of character.

1456
01:19:29,863 --> 01:19:33,128
Paid for by the Harris
for President Committee.

1457
01:19:44,378 --> 01:19:46,209
Okay, I'm gonna kill
the son of a bitch.

1458
01:19:46,380 --> 01:19:48,507
- Yes!
- Yes!

1459
01:19:48,849 --> 01:19:51,044
But though I think
he is a fine man,

1460
01:19:51,218 --> 01:19:53,948
and I agree with him
about lowerin' the deficit,

1461
01:19:54,121 --> 01:19:58,057
I do not agree with Senator Harris's
proposal to study a reduction,

1462
01:19:58,158 --> 01:20:01,992
even a freeze, in cost-of-living adjustments
for Social Security.

1463
01:20:02,863 --> 01:20:06,321
And I also disagree with Senator Harris
about Medicare.

1464
01:20:08,702 --> 01:20:12,365
There's one other area where Senator Harris
and I disagree, and that is the Middle East.

1465
01:20:13,874 --> 01:20:16,365
When he was a member of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee,

1466
01:20:16,477 --> 01:20:21,505
my opponent cast many votes regarding
the security and future of the state of Israel.

1467
01:20:21,682 --> 01:20:26,051
- No!
- Wait, I agree with many of his votes, but some...

1468
01:20:26,420 --> 01:20:28,581
Well, I think it's important
to stand with our friends.

1469
01:20:28,756 --> 01:20:32,248
And America has no better friend
than the state of Israel.

1470
01:20:32,426 --> 01:20:35,827
Thank you.

1471
01:20:41,435 --> 01:20:44,233
Well, we're up three points
and climbing. Thanks, God...

1472
01:20:44,338 --> 01:20:46,704
so a meeting with the Rainbow
Coalition might just be...

1473
01:20:46,774 --> 01:20:50,733
- One second. Who is it?
- William McCollister.

1474
01:20:51,512 --> 01:20:54,504
Can I call you back?
Yeah, I'll just be five minutes.

1475
01:20:58,919 --> 01:21:00,944
Ain't you rememberin' me,
Mr. Burton?

1476
01:21:01,121 --> 01:21:04,557
Willie. The barbecue place.
Come on in.

1477
01:21:05,626 --> 01:21:08,959
So, what are you
doing here?

1478
01:21:09,129 --> 01:21:13,793
Well, I figured it'd be easier
to talk face-to-face with a brother

1479
01:21:13,967 --> 01:21:17,198
than to the gov, even though
he's like a brother.

1480
01:21:18,472 --> 01:21:19,803
I...

1481
01:21:20,607 --> 01:21:23,371
I flew here 'cause my daughter
Loretta is with child,

1482
01:21:23,544 --> 01:21:26,809
and she says Governor
Jack Stanton's the daddy.

1483
01:21:31,718 --> 01:21:32,810
Right.

1484
01:21:36,156 --> 01:21:39,648
- Has he landed yet?
- Yeah. He's in the men's room.

1485
01:21:39,827 --> 01:21:43,388
- Okay. Is he alone?
- What do you mean?

1486
01:21:43,931 --> 01:21:45,159
Doesn't matter.

1487
01:21:49,503 --> 01:21:52,165
- Governor.
- Hey. Well, we're in the lead.

1488
01:21:52,806 --> 01:21:55,070
- Good, good.
- Senator Harris is second.

1489
01:21:55,142 --> 01:21:57,269
The undecided's
killin' everyone.

1490
01:21:57,344 --> 01:22:00,313
Governor, Willie McCollister
came to see me last night.

1491
01:22:00,481 --> 01:22:03,143
His daughter is pregnant and
she says you're the father.

1492
01:22:11,992 --> 01:22:14,654
- Who else knows?
- Well, he says no one.

1493
01:22:14,828 --> 01:22:17,160
- What's he want?
- I don't know.

1494
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:21,961
I just can't catch
a break, can I?

1495
01:22:23,804 --> 01:22:27,205
All right. All right.
Is Willie still here?

1496
01:22:27,374 --> 01:22:29,205
No, he went back
early this morning.

1497
01:22:29,376 --> 01:22:31,970
Well, I can't leave
before the primary.

1498
01:22:32,146 --> 01:22:33,773
If this gets out,
it'll kill us.

1499
01:22:34,681 --> 01:22:37,172
You and Howard'll have to fly back to
Mammoth Falls tomorrow.

1500
01:22:38,018 --> 01:22:39,144
We gotta talk to him.

1501
01:22:39,219 --> 01:22:42,188
We gotta make sure he understands
there's been some kind of mistake.

1502
01:22:43,323 --> 01:22:46,520
They're good people but not sophisticated.
But I want 'em to know.

1503
01:22:46,894 --> 01:22:48,293
Why pick me?

1504
01:22:48,962 --> 01:22:51,522
- Is it because I'm black?
- No.

1505
01:22:52,199 --> 01:22:53,894
It's because
Willie picked you.

1506
01:22:55,302 --> 01:22:57,827
You don't have to say anything.
Howard knows exactly what to say.

1507
01:22:57,905 --> 01:23:01,534
- But you should be there because he came to you.
- All right.

1508
01:23:01,708 --> 01:23:03,676
Governor,
if I'm gonna do this,

1509
01:23:03,844 --> 01:23:05,744
then there's something
I need to know.

1510
01:23:06,246 --> 01:23:08,737
I am not the father
of that child.

1511
01:23:09,216 --> 01:23:14,313
Henry, you will never have to be ashamed
to be part of this campaign.

1512
01:23:14,388 --> 01:23:18,222
You understand that? You never have to swallow it,
duck it or apologize for it.

1513
01:23:18,892 --> 01:23:20,587
I'll make sure
that doesn't happen.

1514
01:23:21,728 --> 01:23:24,891
Guys?

1515
01:23:40,881 --> 01:23:43,111
- Hey, Mr. Burton.
- Hi, Willie.

1516
01:23:43,884 --> 01:23:44,873
Hey, Gov.

1517
01:23:48,188 --> 01:23:49,746
You remember
Howard Ferguson.

1518
01:23:50,023 --> 01:23:51,581
He works
with the governor too.

1519
01:23:55,295 --> 01:23:57,354
- Hello.
- Mornin'.

1520
01:23:58,932 --> 01:24:01,696
Well, what can I do for ya?

1521
01:24:03,904 --> 01:24:05,804
The governor
is very concerned

1522
01:24:05,973 --> 01:24:08,533
about this situation
with your daughter.

1523
01:24:09,409 --> 01:24:10,933
He'd like
to see it resolved.

1524
01:24:13,447 --> 01:24:14,812
As I'm sure you would.

1525
01:24:16,083 --> 01:24:19,416
He would like her to have
an amniocentesis as soon as possible

1526
01:24:19,486 --> 01:24:22,080
so that paternity can be
positively established.

1527
01:24:22,256 --> 01:24:26,818
- A what?
- It's a medical procedure performed in a hospital.

1528
01:24:28,161 --> 01:24:30,322
A needle is inserted
into the abdomen.

1529
01:24:30,497 --> 01:24:33,432
Amniotic fluid is drawn
from your daughter's womb.

1530
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:35,966
Genetic material is analyzed.
It can then be compared

1531
01:24:36,103 --> 01:24:38,594
with the governor's blood
to determine whether he is the father.

1532
01:24:38,672 --> 01:24:40,572
- I don't understand.
- It's normally used to determine

1533
01:24:40,674 --> 01:24:44,804
the health of the fetus, and that's
what you'll tell them at Mercy Hospital.

1534
01:24:45,012 --> 01:24:48,573
That you want to make sure
that the baby's healthy.

1535
01:24:49,349 --> 01:24:50,680
It's a common
procedure, Willie.

1536
01:24:50,784 --> 01:24:52,149
They put a needle
in her belly?

1537
01:24:52,252 --> 01:24:53,981
Look, look, look.
Mr. McCollister.

1538
01:24:54,655 --> 01:24:57,123
There are people who would like to
destroy Governor Stanton.

1539
01:24:57,991 --> 01:25:00,459
He doesn't believe you're one of them,
but he can't allow this.

1540
01:25:00,927 --> 01:25:01,985
You can't allow this.

1541
01:25:02,763 --> 01:25:05,425
I'm sure your daughter's a fine young person,
but she's a child.

1542
01:25:05,932 --> 01:25:08,833
Children are impressionable, and there's been
a lot of news about the governor...

1543
01:25:09,002 --> 01:25:10,469
She ain't said a word
to anybody.

1544
01:25:10,537 --> 01:25:12,596
I told her not to.
She's a good girl.

1545
01:25:12,773 --> 01:25:15,105
Oh, I'm sure she is.

1546
01:25:16,209 --> 01:25:17,801
And the governor wants to do
everything possible

1547
01:25:17,878 --> 01:25:20,472
to help her, and you,
through this time.

1548
01:25:20,614 --> 01:25:22,673
He is prepared to be
very generous.

1549
01:25:23,617 --> 01:25:26,211
He will help her
provide for the baby.

1550
01:25:27,654 --> 01:25:31,181
Now, he'll do this because he believes
that you are his friend.

1551
01:25:35,028 --> 01:25:37,121
But we must resolve this.

1552
01:25:37,197 --> 01:25:39,358
We must determine
to everyone's satisfaction

1553
01:25:39,466 --> 01:25:41,627
that he is not
the father of that child.

1554
01:25:44,738 --> 01:25:46,365
I'm sure that you...

1555
01:25:48,575 --> 01:25:50,236
you know,
you understand...

1556
01:25:52,245 --> 01:25:53,576
our position.

1557
01:26:01,188 --> 01:26:02,382
Pull over.

1558
01:26:04,024 --> 01:26:05,082
Pull over.

1559
01:26:24,044 --> 01:26:25,841
Hello, folks.
I'm Izzy Rosenblatt,

1560
01:26:25,912 --> 01:26:27,846
and I'm here
with Schmooze for Jews.

1561
01:26:28,415 --> 01:26:31,213
And my guest today is
presidential nominee...

1562
01:26:31,351 --> 01:26:33,911
and J.F.K. look-alike,
Governor Jack Stanton.

1563
01:26:34,187 --> 01:26:35,745
- Hi, Izzy.
- Hi, Jack.

1564
01:26:35,856 --> 01:26:40,190
Jack, when we were talking before,
you were telling me that your mama liked Vegas.

1565
01:26:40,394 --> 01:26:43,386
As a tip to our listeners,
when she goes there, where does she stay?

1566
01:26:43,463 --> 01:26:46,193
- Which hotel?
- Well, she's pretty loyal to the MGM Grand.

1567
01:26:46,433 --> 01:26:49,095
MGM Grand. Listen up,
you Vegas fans.

1568
01:26:49,436 --> 01:26:52,064
And, and who is her favorite act there?
Is it Wayne Newton?

1569
01:26:52,372 --> 01:26:56,103
- Absolutely.
- Everybody loves Wayne Newton. He's marvelous.

1570
01:26:56,209 --> 01:26:59,645
He was once a guest on this show.
That was many, many years ago.

1571
01:27:00,447 --> 01:27:03,883
Now, to satisfy the curiosity
of our Vegas fans,

1572
01:27:04,584 --> 01:27:07,553
when your mother plays blackjack,
where does she stand pat?

1573
01:27:07,621 --> 01:27:10,590
- Is it 16?
- Well, she is a bit of a gambler.

1574
01:27:10,924 --> 01:27:13,757
- But sometimes she'll go up to 17.
- Oh, my.

1575
01:27:14,161 --> 01:27:18,757
Excuse me, Governor, but I'm told we have
Senator Harris on the phone.

1576
01:27:19,232 --> 01:27:22,497
- Hello. This is indeed an honor.
- Thank you.

1577
01:27:23,103 --> 01:27:24,934
We were just talking
with Governor Stanton

1578
01:27:25,005 --> 01:27:26,836
about how his mother
loves Las Vegas.

1579
01:27:27,007 --> 01:27:30,773
I was wondering, Senator, does your mother
have a favorite vacation spot?

1580
01:27:30,944 --> 01:27:35,643
- My mother's dead.
- I'm sorry.

1581
01:27:35,749 --> 01:27:40,152
Jack Stanton should be ashamed of the way
he's scaring other elderly people down here.

1582
01:27:40,253 --> 01:27:42,983
- You mean about going up to 17?
- What?

1583
01:27:43,523 --> 01:27:44,854
I'm not following you.

1584
01:27:44,958 --> 01:27:47,756
He's telling people I'm going to cut
their Social Security and...

1585
01:27:48,462 --> 01:27:50,589
It's... Come on, Larry.
It's part of your book.

1586
01:27:50,664 --> 01:27:53,360
Everyone knows what you're doing down here,
the sleazy politics you're playing!

1587
01:27:53,467 --> 01:27:56,664
- Is it okay if I get a word in here?
- Go ahead. Be my guest.

1588
01:27:56,837 --> 01:27:59,203
What am I saying?
You are my guest!

1589
01:27:59,806 --> 01:28:04,334
Larry, I'm lookin' at your campaign book here.
Page 18, paragraph 3.

1590
01:28:04,778 --> 01:28:09,442
What does it mean when you say you want
to study a freeze of cost-of-living adjustments?

1591
01:28:09,683 --> 01:28:11,810
That's only
one possibility.

1592
01:28:11,985 --> 01:28:15,045
We might want to rework
how they're calculated.

1593
01:28:15,155 --> 01:28:17,146
I can tell you,
cost-of-living adjustments

1594
01:28:17,224 --> 01:28:19,192
are calculated
to keep up with inflation.

1595
01:28:19,459 --> 01:28:21,393
But I guess you don't think
that's such a good idea.

1596
01:28:21,561 --> 01:28:24,655
- Now, wait a minute! I didn't say that.
- It's right here in your book.

1597
01:28:24,831 --> 01:28:27,163
I said it has to be studied.
Who knows?

1598
01:28:27,334 --> 01:28:30,826
We might even want to spend more
on cost-of-living adjustments.

1599
01:28:30,971 --> 01:28:34,668
Tell me, Senator, who is
your favorite comedian?

1600
01:28:34,741 --> 01:28:37,301
- What?
- I'm tellin' the folks what my positions are.

1601
01:28:37,410 --> 01:28:38,399
You're the one here that...

1602
01:28:38,512 --> 01:28:40,241
No, no, no. You're
distorting my positions.

1603
01:28:40,347 --> 01:28:42,542
This is the reason no one
trusts the political process!

1604
01:28:42,649 --> 01:28:44,048
You just can't defend
your positions.

1605
01:28:44,150 --> 01:28:45,310
Not when you play these games.

1606
01:28:45,385 --> 01:28:48,320
Ladies and gentlemen, we just can't afford
to keep spending money like this.

1607
01:28:48,388 --> 01:28:50,413
You just said
you might want to spend more

1608
01:28:50,524 --> 01:28:51,718
on cost-of-living adjustments.

1609
01:28:51,825 --> 01:28:53,383
Larry,
I think you're confused.

1610
01:28:53,493 --> 01:28:56,360
No, no, no, no.

1611
01:28:56,429 --> 01:28:59,398
Excuse me.
But, now, listen.

1612
01:29:01,234 --> 01:29:04,203
Excuse me.

1613
01:29:04,271 --> 01:29:06,535
What happened?
Did he hang up or what?

1614
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:08,769
Yes. Yes, yes.

1615
01:29:08,942 --> 01:29:13,106
Well, so, tell me, Governor,
who's your favorite comedian?

1616
01:29:13,513 --> 01:29:16,949
- The phones haven't stopped ringing!
- It was fantastic, a rout.

1617
01:29:17,117 --> 01:29:19,915
We couldn't believe it when we heard
Harris on the phone, could we?

1618
01:29:20,020 --> 01:29:23,080
- No, no. We couldn't.
- He's fucked now. We're gonna walk away with Florida.

1619
01:29:23,423 --> 01:29:27,382
Quick! Turn on CNN.
It's on.

1620
01:29:27,561 --> 01:29:30,553
According to sources, Senator Harris
suffered two heart attacks,

1621
01:29:30,931 --> 01:29:34,924
the first one immediately after a phone call
with Governor Jack Stanton

1622
01:29:35,035 --> 01:29:36,730
during a Florida
radio talk show.

1623
01:29:37,737 --> 01:29:41,104
- Jesus.
- Oh, shit. We heard him having it.

1624
01:29:41,308 --> 01:29:44,937
He remains in a coma.
His condition is listed as critical.

1625
01:29:45,111 --> 01:29:49,775
Hospital sources in Florida will not confirm
the senator's condition at this point.

1626
01:29:50,317 --> 01:29:54,219
It's difficult to say exactly what effect
this will have on the campaign.

1627
01:29:54,888 --> 01:29:58,255
We don't know the damage to
Senator Harris's heart muscle yet.

1628
01:29:58,425 --> 01:30:02,828
His doctors have only issued general
bulletins regarding his condition.

1629
01:30:02,929 --> 01:30:04,954
Because after such a massive
heart attack...

1630
01:30:05,332 --> 01:30:07,266
The vote's in two days.
What do we do?

1631
01:30:08,902 --> 01:30:12,269
We go back to Mammoth Falls,
and Daisy stays and pulls the negative ads.

1632
01:30:12,839 --> 01:30:14,807
Jack, I understand how you feel.
But couldn't we respect...

1633
01:30:15,108 --> 01:30:17,076
We go back to Mammoth Falls.

1634
01:30:17,344 --> 01:30:19,972
There's a long history of plaque
buildup in the arteries.

1635
01:30:21,114 --> 01:30:22,411
In the case of
Senator Harris...

1636
01:30:26,953 --> 01:30:30,354
I was so prideful,
so fuckin' smug.

1637
01:30:30,824 --> 01:30:32,689
There was no way
you could know this.

1638
01:30:32,859 --> 01:30:34,451
We were gonna whip his butt.

1639
01:30:34,527 --> 01:30:36,358
I could have been gracious.
It would have been smarter.

1640
01:30:36,463 --> 01:30:39,591
Well, I'm sorry. The man cuts
a vicious negative ad,

1641
01:30:39,766 --> 01:30:41,358
then he ambushes you
in a talk show

1642
01:30:41,468 --> 01:30:43,026
and he accuses you
of sleazy politics.

1643
01:30:43,169 --> 01:30:46,263
You're supposed to be gracious? Wha...
Am I missing something here?

1644
01:30:46,339 --> 01:30:48,364
- Is Jackie okay?
- Yeah, he's fine. Go ahead.

1645
01:30:48,508 --> 01:30:50,499
This is no time to stop
the meeting.

1646
01:30:50,677 --> 01:30:54,204
Harris is a smart man, and he's right
about the damn issues. He's right.

1647
01:30:54,481 --> 01:30:56,506
He's a pompous son of a bitch.
He rubbed your nose in it.

1648
01:30:56,683 --> 01:30:59,652
And I rubbed his nose right back in it,
but that's not how you win the big ones.

1649
01:31:01,388 --> 01:31:04,619
All right. I don't know
what I'm gonna do now.

1650
01:31:05,692 --> 01:31:08,957
I guess I have to fly back tonight,
address the victory party,

1651
01:31:09,529 --> 01:31:12,965
try to get Mrs. Harris on the phone
at the hospital again.

1652
01:31:13,133 --> 01:31:17,126
She hasn't been returning my phone calls,
but can't blame her, can ya?

1653
01:31:18,371 --> 01:31:19,838
What do you think?

1654
01:31:24,044 --> 01:31:25,341
Henry.

1655
01:31:27,147 --> 01:31:29,911
What the fuck was that in there?
Who were you and Howard starin' at?

1656
01:31:30,083 --> 01:31:32,847
- Nothing. No one.
- Bullshit. That wasn't nothin'.

1657
01:31:32,919 --> 01:31:34,409
Who was
that woman with Susan?

1658
01:31:34,721 --> 01:31:36,746
It looked like what's-her-name,
Fat Willie's wife.

1659
01:31:37,090 --> 01:31:38,887
Why is she worth
starin' at?

1660
01:31:41,361 --> 01:31:44,592
- Henry, what the fuck is goin' on here?
- Nothing.

1661
01:31:54,741 --> 01:31:56,368
Party atmosphere...

1662
01:31:56,443 --> 01:31:58,206
after this win
here in Florida.

1663
01:31:58,378 --> 01:32:01,939
Yeah. All right.
All right.

1664
01:32:06,019 --> 01:32:07,452
You son of a bitch!

1665
01:32:07,554 --> 01:32:10,614
Amniocentesis...
You motherfucker!

1666
01:32:12,425 --> 01:32:16,259
- Susan, I'm sorry...
- When were you gonna tell me?

1667
01:32:21,968 --> 01:32:24,061
My wife could not be
with me at this time.

1668
01:32:24,237 --> 01:32:26,967
- She's with our son Jackie at Mammoth Falls...
- Susan, I'm...

1669
01:32:27,073 --> 01:32:28,700
I want to extend
my sympathy...

1670
01:32:28,775 --> 01:32:31,107
Come on, come on.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1671
01:32:31,277 --> 01:32:33,245
A terrible thing has happened
to a good man.

1672
01:32:33,313 --> 01:32:36,805
- But Larry Harris is a fighter...
- I'm sorry.

1673
01:32:36,950 --> 01:32:40,943
With God's help he will rise to fight again,
a worthy and honorable opponent.

1674
01:32:41,488 --> 01:32:43,752
And I know every one of us
throughout this great country...

1675
01:32:43,823 --> 01:32:45,381
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1676
01:32:46,426 --> 01:32:49,623
Wishes Senator Harris
a full and speedy recovery.

1677
01:32:50,663 --> 01:32:52,654
I think the people
of Florida...

1678
01:32:52,832 --> 01:32:56,768
will understand if I forego any talk
of victory or defeat

1679
01:32:56,936 --> 01:32:59,427
and ask them to join me
in a prayer.

1680
01:32:59,939 --> 01:33:01,634
We'll need a consultant
in New York, Jack.

1681
01:33:01,741 --> 01:33:02,901
Norman Asher's good.

1682
01:33:02,976 --> 01:33:04,637
Where the fuck is Henry?
Daisy?

1683
01:33:04,744 --> 01:33:06,837
I don't know.
I just flew in with you, remember?

1684
01:33:06,946 --> 01:33:09,744
- Brad, do we have the New York numbers?
- You're at 22.

1685
01:33:09,816 --> 01:33:13,081
And Harris is running
at 18%, comatose.

1686
01:33:14,754 --> 01:33:16,119
Shit, Henry.

1687
01:33:16,256 --> 01:33:19,419
- I'm really sorry.
- The governor would like your input on New York.

1688
01:33:19,492 --> 01:33:21,016
How do you think they'll take
the thing with Harris?

1689
01:33:21,327 --> 01:33:25,957
Well, obviously, Susan,
first we have to see if Harris is still in.

1690
01:33:26,132 --> 01:33:28,828
That's not very helpful.
Lucille?

1691
01:33:29,002 --> 01:33:32,369
If Harris is out and Ozio doesn't
change his mind and jump in,

1692
01:33:32,772 --> 01:33:34,797
I say the race is ours
by default.

1693
01:33:34,974 --> 01:33:36,498
My God, this poor woman.

1694
01:33:36,609 --> 01:33:39,134
I want to thank all of you...

1695
01:33:39,846 --> 01:33:42,838
for your remarkable
outpouring of affection.

1696
01:33:43,349 --> 01:33:46,147
It's obvious that my husband
will not be able

1697
01:33:46,319 --> 01:33:48,651
to continue his campaign
for the presidency.

1698
01:33:48,822 --> 01:33:51,848
Fantastic! I mean...
Well, you know what I mean.

1699
01:33:51,958 --> 01:33:53,118
We have asked
our good friend

1700
01:33:53,193 --> 01:33:58,563
former governor Fred Picker
of Florida to carry on for us.

1701
01:33:58,665 --> 01:34:03,568
To continue to raise the questions
in a meaningful,

1702
01:34:04,370 --> 01:34:05,667
honorable way.

1703
01:34:05,738 --> 01:34:09,071
- She's not too upset to give us a poke.
- Give her a break.

1704
01:34:09,242 --> 01:34:11,904
Her husband may be dying
and she thinks Jack did it.

1705
01:34:12,045 --> 01:34:15,537
Now let me turn this campaign
over to Governor Picker.

1706
01:34:15,715 --> 01:34:17,205
Thank you, darlin'.

1707
01:34:20,019 --> 01:34:22,249
I hope you'll excuse me.
This is a rather emotional time.

1708
01:34:22,422 --> 01:34:25,550
Mr... Governor Picker,
do you think you can win the nomination?

1709
01:34:25,825 --> 01:34:28,726
Well, I'm... I'm not...

1710
01:34:28,828 --> 01:34:30,989
out to win the nomination.

1711
01:34:31,064 --> 01:34:32,929
I'm out to

1712
01:34:33,032 --> 01:34:34,897
continue
what Senator Harris began.

1713
01:34:35,001 --> 01:34:39,028
I'm trying to give the American people
an honest choice on the issues.

1714
01:34:39,105 --> 01:34:40,697
But if you won
the nomination...

1715
01:34:40,874 --> 01:34:43,741
It's really premature
to talk about that right now.

1716
01:34:44,544 --> 01:34:46,774
I really haven't had
the time to think about it.

1717
01:34:47,714 --> 01:34:51,013
Now, what I have thought about
is the best way I can help

1718
01:34:51,184 --> 01:34:53,675
Senator Harris
in this campaign.

1719
01:34:55,054 --> 01:34:58,353
And as I know him as a man
of action rather than words,

1720
01:34:59,259 --> 01:35:02,854
the best action is
for me to go down

1721
01:35:03,229 --> 01:35:04,696
and donate a pint of blood,

1722
01:35:05,431 --> 01:35:07,422
because that's what
he really needs now.

1723
01:35:08,234 --> 01:35:10,930
If you folks would like to
come down and donate a pint,

1724
01:35:11,037 --> 01:35:13,062
I know Mrs. Harris
would certainly appreciate it.

1725
01:35:14,274 --> 01:35:17,300
Jesus Christ, we should have
thought of that blood thing.

1726
01:35:18,144 --> 01:35:20,635
- Great.
- Great goddamn move.

1727
01:35:21,147 --> 01:35:25,083
How do we treat this guy? How do we run
against him if he's not gonna run?

1728
01:35:25,451 --> 01:35:27,146
Oh, shit, he'll run.

1729
01:35:27,253 --> 01:35:28,447
But till he announces it,

1730
01:35:28,554 --> 01:35:30,385
he'll be the flavor of the week.

1731
01:35:30,556 --> 01:35:32,751
We'll just be patient
and wait till he comes out.

1732
01:35:34,794 --> 01:35:36,921
What kind of changes
can we expect in the campaign?

1733
01:35:37,096 --> 01:35:40,554
Lawrence Harris has made
several negative 30-second spots,

1734
01:35:40,733 --> 01:35:43,566
and his pollsters
have advised even more.

1735
01:35:44,070 --> 01:35:46,664
- Will you keep going in that direction?
- No.

1736
01:35:46,839 --> 01:35:48,773
I won't be doing
any spots,

1737
01:35:48,942 --> 01:35:52,434
and I won't be having any polls because
I'm not gonna be paying any pollsters.

1738
01:35:52,612 --> 01:35:54,307
I'm not gonna hire folks

1739
01:35:54,414 --> 01:35:56,974
to tell me what you're thinkin'
and how I can get at you.

1740
01:35:57,083 --> 01:36:00,985
- Then what exactly are you gonna do?
- I'm gonna talk straight.

1741
01:36:01,354 --> 01:36:03,618
Jesus Christ!
Who is this guy?

1742
01:36:03,790 --> 01:36:05,485
Well, let's not panic.

1743
01:36:05,591 --> 01:36:06,956
He's as much as
admitted he's runnin',

1744
01:36:07,026 --> 01:36:09,756
so now we're gonna see some
tarnish on the golden image.

1745
01:36:10,797 --> 01:36:14,528
The media giveth and...
go fuck yourself.

1746
01:36:15,501 --> 01:36:18,959
Governor, why did you quit
politics in 1978?

1747
01:36:20,006 --> 01:36:21,769
There were a lot
of reasons, Charlie.

1748
01:36:21,941 --> 01:36:23,966
I had personal problems.

1749
01:36:24,610 --> 01:36:27,374
I know this can't be
easy for you to talk about.

1750
01:36:27,547 --> 01:36:30,846
No, no, it's not,
but I guess...

1751
01:36:30,950 --> 01:36:32,941
it's part of the game now,
so I'll be candid.

1752
01:36:33,486 --> 01:36:36,284
You see, what happened was
I got too wrapped up

1753
01:36:36,356 --> 01:36:38,324
in the business
of being governor,

1754
01:36:38,491 --> 01:36:40,823
and I began
to neglect my family,

1755
01:36:40,994 --> 01:36:43,224
and my wife fell in love
with another man.

1756
01:36:44,330 --> 01:36:48,630
I quit in part to see if I could salvage
my marriage, but I couldn't.

1757
01:36:49,202 --> 01:36:51,136
So I just wanted to make sure
that my boys...

1758
01:36:51,304 --> 01:36:54,137
knew that they had two parents
that loved them very much.

1759
01:36:54,307 --> 01:36:57,834
And I think if you ask them they'll tell you
that we made it through okay.

1760
01:36:58,678 --> 01:37:02,637
They're in college now,
and when Mrs. Harris asked me to do this,

1761
01:37:02,815 --> 01:37:04,874
they were very, very enthusiastic.

1762
01:37:05,051 --> 01:37:07,986
So I guess you could say
that I'm doing this for them too.

1763
01:37:08,154 --> 01:37:10,679
Awesome.
Best I've ever seen.

1764
01:37:12,025 --> 01:37:14,994
- What do we do?
- Well, now we panic.

1765
01:37:16,195 --> 01:37:18,425
As I said earlier,
it must be very difficult...

1766
01:37:20,598 --> 01:37:22,090
Hello.

1767
01:37:22,268 --> 01:37:24,532
Hey, Amnio Man!

1768
01:37:24,704 --> 01:37:27,195
God! How in the hell
did you find out?

1769
01:37:27,373 --> 01:37:29,603
It wasn't hard.
Loretta talked to a schoolmate.

1770
01:37:29,709 --> 01:37:32,906
A Current Affair just offered
the McCollisters 250,000,

1771
01:37:33,012 --> 01:37:35,503
and Fat Willie threw 'em off the property
and threatened to call the cops.

1772
01:37:35,915 --> 01:37:39,112
I had to stash 'em in another county.
I could fuckin' kill Jack.

1773
01:37:39,218 --> 01:37:42,551
- He says he's not the father.
- Well, he's probably not.

1774
01:37:42,722 --> 01:37:46,783
It doesn't matter. Shit begets shit.
Cashmere made anything possible.

1775
01:37:46,959 --> 01:37:48,620
Yeah, didn't she?

1776
01:37:48,795 --> 01:37:51,696
Listen, I'm a good consultant
and I know New York.

1777
01:37:51,864 --> 01:37:55,766
But I'm not a magician.
Those rumors about you and the black girl...

1778
01:37:55,935 --> 01:37:59,632
Norman, can't I tell 'em
I gave blood to disprove the charge,

1779
01:37:59,739 --> 01:38:01,036
and we're just waitin'
for the results?

1780
01:38:01,107 --> 01:38:02,574
That's too defensive.

1781
01:38:02,642 --> 01:38:03,973
I don't like the contrast

1782
01:38:04,110 --> 01:38:05,975
between why you gave blood
and why Picker gave blood.

1783
01:38:06,079 --> 01:38:09,071
I agree. But it might be
a good idea to get on some TV shows

1784
01:38:09,148 --> 01:38:11,139
like Montel and Geraldo.

1785
01:38:11,484 --> 01:38:14,248
You mean strip away those last annoying
little shreds of dignity

1786
01:38:14,387 --> 01:38:16,287
and just wallow in trash?

1787
01:38:16,456 --> 01:38:18,651
Why campaign in New York at all?
What is the use?

1788
01:38:18,758 --> 01:38:21,158
You have to.
You can't skip New York.

1789
01:38:21,260 --> 01:38:22,625
Well, they'll kill me.

1790
01:38:23,329 --> 01:38:25,490
No. It'll just feel
like they have.

1791
01:38:27,100 --> 01:38:29,898
But you'll survive.
We all find a way to survive.

1792
01:38:32,004 --> 01:38:36,998
That's why I'm so, so happy
to be in New York,

1793
01:38:37,176 --> 01:38:39,804
to have the opportunity to...

1794
01:38:39,979 --> 01:38:42,914
If you just
give me a chance...

1795
01:38:43,082 --> 01:38:45,949
Please give me a chance...

1796
01:38:46,119 --> 01:38:48,451
to answer your,
your questions...

1797
01:38:51,691 --> 01:38:52,953
I love New York!

1798
01:39:01,100 --> 01:39:02,431
I hope you rot in hell!

1799
01:39:02,502 --> 01:39:03,992
Bugger, bugger, bugger!

1800
01:39:05,004 --> 01:39:06,198
Son of a bitch!

1801
01:39:06,305 --> 01:39:11,766
You're a phony! A pederast!
You're a sick hetero fuck!

1802
01:39:19,485 --> 01:39:21,180
I'm in. I'm in.

1803
01:39:29,462 --> 01:39:33,296
I don't know how much
more of this I can take.

1804
01:39:33,366 --> 01:39:35,527
Okay, tomorrow we start
working Connecticut.

1805
01:39:35,635 --> 01:39:38,900
Picker's speaking at a rally,
and we ought to hit it at the same time.

1806
01:39:39,005 --> 01:39:42,839
He can't tomorrow. He's got to go to Brooklyn
and meet with the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

1807
01:39:43,009 --> 01:39:45,409
What? Who the fuck
decided that?

1808
01:39:45,511 --> 01:39:48,071
The Lubavitcher Rebbe.
Can't win New York without him.

1809
01:39:48,247 --> 01:39:51,512
- Hey, listen, Governor...
- Norman knows New York. It's his call.

1810
01:39:51,684 --> 01:39:55,347
Susan's right. You go to the rally.
I better keep the appointment.

1811
01:40:32,091 --> 01:40:33,388
Thank you.

1812
01:40:39,265 --> 01:40:42,393
Thank you. Well, this is
kind of overwhelming.

1813
01:40:44,704 --> 01:40:47,138
He's nervous now.
He's the man now.

1814
01:40:51,978 --> 01:40:53,878
I didn't expect this.

1815
01:40:56,482 --> 01:41:00,782
To all the folks giving their blood
in the back out there in the tents,

1816
01:41:00,953 --> 01:41:03,251
I want to thank them.
I really do.

1817
01:41:08,427 --> 01:41:10,224
Would you all do me...
Would you all do me a favor?

1818
01:41:10,296 --> 01:41:12,321
Just don't shout
quite so loud.

1819
01:41:12,431 --> 01:41:15,730
Thank you.

1820
01:41:15,901 --> 01:41:19,735
- Thanks. Now, I really mean it.
- We love you!

1821
01:41:19,905 --> 01:41:23,432
I wish everyone would
just calm down a little.

1822
01:41:23,509 --> 01:41:26,342
And when I say everyone,
I mean the press,

1823
01:41:26,445 --> 01:41:29,812
and the TV crews
and all my colleagues...

1824
01:41:30,483 --> 01:41:34,010
and all the folks who make a living
advising my colleagues.

1825
01:41:34,186 --> 01:41:36,245
I think we need
to calm down some.

1826
01:41:38,624 --> 01:41:43,425
You know, this is
a terrific country.

1827
01:41:43,596 --> 01:41:46,190
But sometimes we go
a little crazy.

1828
01:41:46,365 --> 01:41:51,029
And maybe that's part of our greatness,
part of our freedom.

1829
01:41:52,104 --> 01:41:54,664
But if we don't watch out
and calm down,

1830
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:56,967
it all may just
spin out of control.

1831
01:41:59,145 --> 01:42:03,047
You know, the world is getting
more and more complicated.

1832
01:42:03,449 --> 01:42:08,477
And politicians have to explain things
to you in simpler terms

1833
01:42:09,221 --> 01:42:13,521
so that they can get
their little oversimplified explanations

1834
01:42:14,627 --> 01:42:15,855
on the evening news.

1835
01:42:17,229 --> 01:42:19,823
And eventually, instead of even trying
to explain things,

1836
01:42:19,899 --> 01:42:23,335
they just give up and start
slingin' mud at each other.

1837
01:42:23,636 --> 01:42:26,867
And it's all to keep you excited,
keep you watchin',

1838
01:42:27,039 --> 01:42:29,200
like you watch a car wreck...

1839
01:42:29,375 --> 01:42:32,469
or a wrestlin' match.

1840
01:42:32,645 --> 01:42:36,376
As a matter of fact, that's exactly
what it's like, professional wrestlin'.

1841
01:42:37,149 --> 01:42:40,050
It's... It's staged and it's fake,

1842
01:42:40,219 --> 01:42:41,846
and it doesn't mean anything.

1843
01:42:42,822 --> 01:42:44,722
And that goes
for the debates.

1844
01:42:44,890 --> 01:42:46,983
We don't... We don't
hate our opponents.

1845
01:42:47,159 --> 01:42:48,922
Hell, half the time
we don't even know them.

1846
01:42:50,329 --> 01:42:54,561
But it seems it's the only way we know
how to keep you all riled up.

1847
01:42:56,168 --> 01:42:58,193
So what I want to do
with this campaign

1848
01:42:58,270 --> 01:43:00,898
is kind of
quiet things down...

1849
01:43:01,073 --> 01:43:03,541
and start having
a conversation...

1850
01:43:04,910 --> 01:43:09,244
about what sort of country
we want this to be in the next century.

1851
01:43:11,217 --> 01:43:15,586
And I want Governor Stanton to know
that I welcome him to this conversation.

1852
01:43:15,755 --> 01:43:16,744
Well, okay.

1853
01:43:16,856 --> 01:43:19,552
This show is all yours.
You gentlemen know the rules.

1854
01:43:19,625 --> 01:43:22,219
No eye-gouging,
no chair-tossing.

1855
01:43:22,294 --> 01:43:24,387
Three knockdowns,
I come in to stop the bout.

1856
01:43:24,764 --> 01:43:28,461
I hope he don't lose it. Geraldo's gonna
go after him, and Picker's very smooth.

1857
01:43:28,634 --> 01:43:31,432
- He won't lose it.
- Frankly, folks, he doesn't have anything to lose.

1858
01:43:31,604 --> 01:43:34,539
Overshadows your entire campaign.

1859
01:43:34,707 --> 01:43:37,267
Is there any truth,
any truth whatsoever, sir,

1860
01:43:37,443 --> 01:43:42,039
to the awful allegation that you are
the father of a child by a teenage girl?

1861
01:43:42,381 --> 01:43:45,248
- Oh, shit!
- No, it's good. It's out there.

1862
01:43:45,418 --> 01:43:47,648
Now, if Jack just keeps
the answer short...

1863
01:43:47,820 --> 01:43:49,947
That she's been influenced
by all the publicity...

1864
01:43:50,055 --> 01:43:51,886
surrounding the phony
Cashmere McLeod tapes.

1865
01:43:52,057 --> 01:43:54,787
Now, the family involved are good people.
They're friends of mine.

1866
01:43:54,994 --> 01:43:58,259
I spoke with the father just before
they went to an undisclosed location,

1867
01:43:58,764 --> 01:44:00,891
and he apologized for causing me
so much trouble.

1868
01:44:00,966 --> 01:44:04,163
I think that's all we need to know, Jack.
Don't you, folks?

1869
01:44:04,804 --> 01:44:06,795
Jesus Christ.

1870
01:44:06,906 --> 01:44:09,101
Picker actually saved him.
I've never seen that before.

1871
01:44:09,241 --> 01:44:12,142
- That's incredible.
- Maybe this is the first time.

1872
01:44:12,278 --> 01:44:14,178
Maybe Picker's an original,
the real thing.

1873
01:44:14,847 --> 01:44:18,647
You know your problem, Hotchkiss?
It's you got gallopin' T.B.

1874
01:44:19,118 --> 01:44:22,519
- You don't mean tuberculosis, right?
- I mean true-believer-ism.

1875
01:44:22,922 --> 01:44:24,913
You talk like a pro,
you act like a pro,

1876
01:44:25,090 --> 01:44:27,149
but inside,
you're just like Libby,

1877
01:44:27,326 --> 01:44:30,159
who actually goes crazy
when her candidate turns out not to be

1878
01:44:30,262 --> 01:44:32,457
the rock her church
was built on.

1879
01:44:32,965 --> 01:44:35,024
Do you know in '78
she actually wore a button that said,

1880
01:44:35,134 --> 01:44:36,362
I'm a Picker Person...

1881
01:44:36,702 --> 01:44:39,000
and nose-dived when
he quit the race?

1882
01:44:39,371 --> 01:44:42,499
- Didn't even try to get the goods on why he was...
- Well, he told us why.

1883
01:44:43,776 --> 01:44:46,939
What? He wanted
to stay home with his kids?

1884
01:44:47,046 --> 01:44:50,174
I'd rather be dad than president?
Gimme a fuckin' break.

1885
01:44:51,550 --> 01:44:55,042
The race among Democratic
contenders might be a toss-up.

1886
01:44:55,221 --> 01:44:59,317
Polls taken after the two men appeared
on the Geraldo show indicate

1887
01:44:59,458 --> 01:45:02,325
that Governor Picker still has
a substantial lead,

1888
01:45:02,528 --> 01:45:06,555
but there has been a remarkable five-percent
increase for Governor Stanton.

1889
01:45:07,166 --> 01:45:08,360
Fuckin' Norman Asher.

1890
01:45:08,501 --> 01:45:11,026
Stanton's appearance
is attributed by many...

1891
01:45:11,337 --> 01:45:12,565
Thank you.

1892
01:45:13,539 --> 01:45:17,031
Hey, I'm just takin'
a leave of absence.

1893
01:45:17,142 --> 01:45:19,667
I can't stick around and take orders
from Norman Asher.

1894
01:45:20,346 --> 01:45:22,075
We're from different parts
of the jungle.

1895
01:45:22,515 --> 01:45:25,006
Let him have his day.
This thing's about gone anyway.

1896
01:45:25,084 --> 01:45:27,575
- I can't believe this.
- Why?

1897
01:45:28,354 --> 01:45:30,720
Henry, I've been through this shit
a hundred times.

1898
01:45:31,090 --> 01:45:34,184
That's what these guys do.
They love you, and they stop lovin' ya.

1899
01:45:34,527 --> 01:45:36,358
But Stanton's different.

1900
01:45:37,396 --> 01:45:39,887
Yeah, he is different.
He was worth it.

1901
01:45:41,500 --> 01:45:43,593
You take care
of your ass, Hotchkiss.

1902
01:45:49,208 --> 01:45:50,539
I'll see you next time.

1903
01:46:00,719 --> 01:46:03,620
I'm very sorry about
losing Daisy and Richard.

1904
01:46:03,789 --> 01:46:05,950
But we're all pros.
We know these things happen.

1905
01:46:06,592 --> 01:46:08,287
I wanna talk about Picker,

1906
01:46:09,194 --> 01:46:11,628
something Richard said
about Picker.

1907
01:46:12,364 --> 01:46:13,797
I wanna find out...

1908
01:46:14,900 --> 01:46:17,630
why did Picker quit in '78?

1909
01:46:23,042 --> 01:46:25,101
The only dirt I ever heard
about Picker...

1910
01:46:25,277 --> 01:46:28,075
was a condo development
named Clearwater Estates

1911
01:46:28,147 --> 01:46:31,878
where the state matched money
for the county to build a connecting road.

1912
01:46:32,885 --> 01:46:33,874
And?

1913
01:46:34,887 --> 01:46:36,320
Nothing specific.

1914
01:46:36,922 --> 01:46:40,255
The project was being developed by a guy
named Edgardo Reyes.

1915
01:46:40,426 --> 01:46:44,419
Edgardo Reyes is the brother
of Antonia Reyes, who is...

1916
01:46:44,563 --> 01:46:47,657
Picker's former wife.
Who else knows about this?

1917
01:46:47,933 --> 01:46:50,424
- Anyone follow it up?
- Nope.

1918
01:46:51,170 --> 01:46:54,105
Well, Lib, let's go.

1919
01:46:56,575 --> 01:46:57,564
What?

1920
01:47:01,580 --> 01:47:03,673
- What?
- I'm tryin' to decide.

1921
01:47:03,849 --> 01:47:08,013
- Decide what?
- Whether I wanna do this for ya, you stupid shit.

1922
01:47:08,921 --> 01:47:11,515
I bust dust. I protect ya.
I don't do in the opponent.

1923
01:47:11,991 --> 01:47:13,959
What the fuck
is the difference?

1924
01:47:14,193 --> 01:47:16,286
All the difference
in the world.

1925
01:47:16,362 --> 01:47:18,091
All the moral difference
in the world.

1926
01:47:18,631 --> 01:47:21,691
I'm not too interested in tearin'
ol' Freddy Picker down.

1927
01:47:21,934 --> 01:47:25,301
- And if he's bent, if he's a crook?
- It'll out.

1928
01:47:25,471 --> 01:47:29,339
But when? Say he wins the nomination,
and then it comes out.

1929
01:47:29,475 --> 01:47:32,035
Look at this.
Look at this.

1930
01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:37,314
The results of the blood test
Dr. Beauregard gave me.

1931
01:47:38,183 --> 01:47:39,616
Congratulations.

1932
01:47:40,019 --> 01:47:42,954
- I'm sure this'll help.
- But it won't.

1933
01:47:43,155 --> 01:47:47,489
Libby, honey, you know it. It won't matter
that my blood doesn't match Loretta's baby.

1934
01:47:47,693 --> 01:47:50,025
It won't matter
that I can't be the father.

1935
01:47:50,562 --> 01:47:52,962
The only way it would matter
is if I were the father,

1936
01:47:53,165 --> 01:47:55,190
because guilty is
what's interesting.

1937
01:47:55,334 --> 01:47:58,633
Am I supposed to live by these rules
and let Picker slide in on a special pass

1938
01:47:58,737 --> 01:48:01,069
because you were a Picker
person in the '70s?

1939
01:48:01,206 --> 01:48:04,403
You mean and justice for all?
That's a stupid fuckin' argument.

1940
01:48:04,543 --> 01:48:08,741
Okay, but this isn't. Picker could be guilty
of fraud or a tax swindle.

1941
01:48:08,847 --> 01:48:12,374
If he used influence to help his brother-in-law,
he's not fit to be president.

1942
01:48:13,352 --> 01:48:15,217
He could be a real shit.

1943
01:48:16,422 --> 01:48:20,188
Forget who you thought he was.
Find out who he really is.

1944
01:48:29,768 --> 01:48:30,860
Get packed.

1945
01:48:35,174 --> 01:48:37,233
We're in limbo now, Henry.

1946
01:48:39,244 --> 01:48:42,577
We are outside
the mainstream.

1947
01:48:44,283 --> 01:48:48,413
We are in purgatory.
We are lost.

1948
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:51,011
Libby,
if you don't shut up,

1949
01:48:51,256 --> 01:48:53,622
I'm gonna kill myself.

1950
01:48:53,892 --> 01:48:58,852
We are testing our limits.
We are in the pits.

1951
01:48:59,131 --> 01:49:01,531
Remember Limbo Rock?
Remember the words?

1952
01:49:02,067 --> 01:49:04,695
How low can you go?

1953
01:49:10,409 --> 01:49:14,368
Is there a reason we're meeting him
in neo-Bwana Land instead of his office?

1954
01:49:14,546 --> 01:49:16,878
Two reasons.
No recordin' devices.

1955
01:49:17,049 --> 01:49:20,576
- And I've always wanted to see this hotel.
- Yeah.

1956
01:49:21,153 --> 01:49:22,620
Yes, I had this business.

1957
01:49:22,721 --> 01:49:25,212
Yes, I hoped having the governor
as brother-in-law...

1958
01:49:25,290 --> 01:49:26,450
would be an advantage.

1959
01:49:27,426 --> 01:49:30,725
But Mr. Righteous
wouldn't cut me any slack.

1960
01:49:31,130 --> 01:49:33,394
We did Clearwater
straight up.

1961
01:49:35,801 --> 01:49:39,134
It would be God's little joke
if they nailed him for it anyway, wouldn't it?

1962
01:49:39,605 --> 01:49:43,405
Freddy didn't know you hired his wife
and brother to get to him?

1963
01:49:43,809 --> 01:49:46,471
Know? Absolutely not.

1964
01:49:47,746 --> 01:49:49,680
Thank you, Mr. Reyes.

1965
01:49:49,848 --> 01:49:52,840
My friend and I are very grateful,
more than we can say.

1966
01:49:53,018 --> 01:49:56,010
Know? What the fuck
did he know?

1967
01:49:56,121 --> 01:49:58,112
He was half-stoned
most of the time.

1968
01:49:59,358 --> 01:50:00,620
Stoned?

1969
01:50:02,761 --> 01:50:06,253
Oh, dear. I really said something
I shouldn't, didn't I?

1970
01:50:06,532 --> 01:50:08,523
Saint Freddy's staffers
don't like to hear that.

1971
01:50:10,002 --> 01:50:11,526
Stoned how?

1972
01:50:12,538 --> 01:50:15,132
Toot, toot, tootsie good-bye.

1973
01:50:16,608 --> 01:50:20,772
You two look disappointed. You didn't know
he was a fucking maricon cokehead?

1974
01:50:20,846 --> 01:50:24,543
- Wait a minute. Coc...
- Cocaine. He loved the shit.

1975
01:50:24,783 --> 01:50:28,651
Hell, we all loved the shit, but he's the only
one who's a candidate for sainthood.

1976
01:50:28,787 --> 01:50:31,620
I'm afraid that's
a little hard to buy.

1977
01:50:31,690 --> 01:50:35,683
- I mean, it just doesn't fit.
- Maybe not now.

1978
01:50:35,861 --> 01:50:40,298
Twenty years ago, almost everyone was doing
everything. Right, Libby?

1979
01:50:40,365 --> 01:50:43,994
But where would Freddy score? How could he keep
it quiet in the governor's mansion?

1980
01:50:44,169 --> 01:50:45,898
There was a guy.

1981
01:50:46,705 --> 01:50:50,698
There was a young guy.
Lorenzo Delgado.

1982
01:50:51,476 --> 01:50:53,410
Upper-class Cuban. A lawyer.

1983
01:50:53,645 --> 01:50:57,809
He and the governor knew each other socially,
so it was perfectly all right.

1984
01:50:59,418 --> 01:51:03,718
The joke is, Delgado just got
out of prison,

1985
01:51:03,822 --> 01:51:06,552
and now lives in a halfway house
in Hialeah.

1986
01:51:06,658 --> 01:51:09,183
And Saint Freddy is about
to be president.

1987
01:51:10,362 --> 01:51:11,989
Yeah, that is a joke.

1988
01:51:12,231 --> 01:51:14,893
Must get a lot of laughs
when you tell it at dinner parties.

1989
01:51:15,567 --> 01:51:17,364
I don't talk about Freddy.

1990
01:51:17,669 --> 01:51:20,866
I'm talking to you
'cause you're from his campaign.

1991
01:51:21,874 --> 01:51:23,171
It's just...

1992
01:51:24,676 --> 01:51:27,167
I'm not the only guy
in town knows this.

1993
01:51:28,347 --> 01:51:31,839
Ah, he should have never
gotten back into the game.

1994
01:51:32,351 --> 01:51:34,046
Now he'll go down.

1995
01:51:35,354 --> 01:51:38,949
This is America.
You can bank on it.

1996
01:51:48,066 --> 01:51:49,260
Lorenzo Delgado.

1997
01:51:50,102 --> 01:51:53,230
On the porch.
Through there.

1998
01:51:53,906 --> 01:51:55,305
Thank you.

1999
01:52:01,713 --> 01:52:04,739
- Lorenzo?
- Right in there.

2000
01:52:04,950 --> 01:52:05,939
Thanks.

2001
01:52:10,722 --> 01:52:15,250
Mr. Delgado, we're here
about Freddy Picker.

2002
01:52:17,763 --> 01:52:19,663
Sit down. Sit down.

2003
01:52:23,669 --> 01:52:25,398
Are you from the campaign?

2004
01:52:26,071 --> 01:52:27,470
I've been expecting you.

2005
01:52:28,907 --> 01:52:31,569
You can tell Freddy
he has nothing to fear from me.

2006
01:52:31,843 --> 01:52:33,572
Nothing. Understand?

2007
01:52:36,682 --> 01:52:38,673
This happened after him.

2008
01:52:41,253 --> 01:52:43,244
I fucked my brains out
in jail.

2009
01:52:43,355 --> 01:52:45,255
Not much else to do there.

2010
01:52:46,525 --> 01:52:51,485
There were so many boys who spent all day
in the gym working on their bodies.

2011
01:53:01,273 --> 01:53:03,264
I like this porch.

2012
01:53:04,176 --> 01:53:07,111
I can't do it all the time.
It depends on the weather.

2013
01:53:08,814 --> 01:53:10,543
It's strange.

2014
01:53:11,016 --> 01:53:13,780
My body temperature
is always off one way or the other.

2015
01:53:13,885 --> 01:53:15,682
Too hot or too cold.

2016
01:53:16,655 --> 01:53:18,623
It's never just right.

2017
01:53:19,124 --> 01:53:22,821
Sometimes the tiniest breeze
can set me off, shivering.

2018
01:53:25,063 --> 01:53:28,464
There's nothing I can do about it.
I can't turn it off.

2019
01:53:29,801 --> 01:53:31,792
I just gotta let it ride.

2020
01:53:36,541 --> 01:53:39,999
So, are you
Freddy's friend now?

2021
01:53:48,653 --> 01:53:50,883
You just knew
it was gonna be good.

2022
01:53:51,523 --> 01:53:53,684
You just knew
it was gonna be irresistible.

2023
01:53:53,759 --> 01:53:56,489
But this has every
fucking thing.

2024
01:53:56,661 --> 01:53:59,323
Sex. Drugs. Corruption.

2025
01:53:59,664 --> 01:54:01,723
And none of it, none of it,

2026
01:54:01,833 --> 01:54:04,427
Henry, my man,
is clear-cut venality.

2027
01:54:04,569 --> 01:54:09,029
It's all kind of human
and awful and sad.

2028
01:54:11,043 --> 01:54:13,341
Now we'll find out.

2029
01:54:13,845 --> 01:54:16,507
Find out what, Libby?
We just found out.

2030
01:54:16,681 --> 01:54:20,242
Oh, don't play dumb with me, Henry.
This is a test.

2031
01:54:21,019 --> 01:54:23,010
Of us and them.

2032
01:54:23,221 --> 01:54:25,621
Actually, of us and them
and us again.

2033
01:54:25,757 --> 01:54:28,055
We passed the entrance exam.
We got the dirt.

2034
01:54:28,193 --> 01:54:30,718
Now it's about them,
Jack and Susan.

2035
01:54:30,796 --> 01:54:32,593
What are they
gonna do with it?

2036
01:54:32,697 --> 01:54:35,461
Little buddy, isn't that
what we're both after here?

2037
01:54:36,268 --> 01:54:39,795
I mean, after 25 years,
I get to see what they're about.

2038
01:54:40,705 --> 01:54:43,265
Not just hypothesize.
Not just hope.

2039
01:54:43,775 --> 01:54:46,107
This is it.
Graduation day.

2040
01:54:46,611 --> 01:54:48,704
They graduate or I do.

2041
01:54:49,548 --> 01:54:52,779
Tell the truth, Henry.
Isn't that what you're really after too?

2042
01:54:53,718 --> 01:54:55,913
Watch the road, Libby,
goddamn it.

2043
01:54:55,987 --> 01:54:57,420
Isn't it?

2044
01:55:15,740 --> 01:55:18,231
Here, Governor, feast your eyes.
You too, my lady.

2045
01:55:18,410 --> 01:55:20,571
Henry, a transcript
of our tour.

2046
01:55:34,926 --> 01:55:37,622
This is...
This is remarkable.

2047
01:55:41,600 --> 01:55:44,433
How on earth did he think
he was gonna get away with this?

2048
01:55:49,708 --> 01:55:50,868
Now, now, what do we do
with this?

2049
01:55:52,477 --> 01:55:56,106
The Times? No, the Wall Street Journal.
More authoritative in a way.

2050
01:55:56,848 --> 01:56:00,682
Through an intermediary,
someone not associated with the campaign.

2051
01:56:04,022 --> 01:56:05,546
I don't think so.

2052
01:56:06,525 --> 01:56:09,961
- What do you mean?
- I don't think there's anything of use here.

2053
01:56:13,031 --> 01:56:14,623
You gotta be kiddin'.

2054
01:56:14,966 --> 01:56:17,059
It doesn't meet
my standards.

2055
01:56:17,636 --> 01:56:18,864
What on earth do you mean?

2056
01:56:19,471 --> 01:56:22,838
I mean, madame, Henry and I don't think
the use of this material is proper.

2057
01:56:23,475 --> 01:56:27,502
We have a moral objection.
And I have a historical beef.

2058
01:56:28,013 --> 01:56:29,002
Aw, come on, Libby.

2059
01:56:29,080 --> 01:56:31,014
Why did you go out and get it
if you weren't gonna use it?

2060
01:56:31,516 --> 01:56:33,677
'Cause Susan was right.
He could've been a real shit.

2061
01:56:33,885 --> 01:56:36,046
I didn't think he would be, and he isn't.
But he could've been.

2062
01:56:36,154 --> 01:56:38,520
But, Jackie, my dearest,
you're Off the fuckin' point.

2063
01:56:38,690 --> 01:56:41,158
The point is we don't do
this sort of thing.

2064
01:56:41,259 --> 01:56:44,660
Oh, I'll be relentless bustin' dust
and guardin' your ass.

2065
01:56:44,763 --> 01:56:47,664
I'd have even blown
Randy Culligan's weenie off for ya.

2066
01:56:47,933 --> 01:56:51,027
Well, maybe I wouldn't have.
But this is something else.

2067
01:56:51,169 --> 01:56:53,831
This is hurting someone else.
This sucks.

2068
01:56:54,206 --> 01:56:56,367
You wanna know
why this sucks?

2069
01:56:56,675 --> 01:56:58,336
Because you told me so.

2070
01:56:59,611 --> 01:57:01,579
Remember when, Jackie?

2071
01:57:02,047 --> 01:57:03,708
Let me refresh your memory.

2072
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:17,460
Weren't they gorgeous, Henry?

2073
01:57:17,560 --> 01:57:19,860
- Yeah, but look at you.
- You little shit.

2074
01:57:20,098 --> 01:57:21,793
I told you
I used to have a waist.

2075
01:57:21,900 --> 01:57:24,232
- Libby...
- Hush up. Don't ruin it.

2076
01:57:24,536 --> 01:57:28,370
Do you remember when this was?
You don't, do you?

2077
01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:31,404
- The Miami headquarters in '72.
- Yeah.

2078
01:57:31,610 --> 01:57:33,578
It was taken just
after the convention.

2079
01:57:34,479 --> 01:57:36,037
I'll never forget
that convention.

2080
01:57:36,248 --> 01:57:39,706
Libby, for chrissake, what are you doing?
What's the point?

2081
01:57:39,884 --> 01:57:43,320
The point is Eagleton.
Remember, Jack?

2082
01:57:43,788 --> 01:57:46,313
I must've known you,
what, two days then?

2083
01:57:46,558 --> 01:57:49,755
We hear that McGovern
has chosen a vice president

2084
01:57:49,928 --> 01:57:51,589
who had electric shock
treatments.

2085
01:57:52,163 --> 01:57:54,495
For the first time
I considered the possibility

2086
01:57:54,599 --> 01:57:57,090
we might lose
to that fuckbrain Nixon.

2087
01:57:57,435 --> 01:58:01,462
I mean, before that, I was absolutely
convinced we would win.

2088
01:58:01,773 --> 01:58:06,005
Can you imagine, Henry?
We were so fuckin' young.

2089
01:58:06,811 --> 01:58:10,247
And this one...
He takes me out.

2090
01:58:10,749 --> 01:58:14,185
We go to this little open-air Cuban joint.
Remember, Jack?

2091
01:58:14,319 --> 01:58:17,254
I got my head in my hands.
Life has ended.

2092
01:58:17,355 --> 01:58:21,155
I say, they did it.
The C.I.A. It had to be the C.I.A.

2093
01:58:21,359 --> 01:58:23,827
I couldn't believe that
Tom Eagleton would really be a nutcase.

2094
01:58:23,995 --> 01:58:26,930
They had to have dragged him off
and drugged him and made him crazy.

2095
01:58:27,165 --> 01:58:30,362
It couldn't have been
that McGovern was a complete fucking amateur.

2096
01:58:30,502 --> 01:58:35,496
No, they did dirty tricks. I said,
we gotta get the same capability as the C.I.A.

2097
01:58:35,774 --> 01:58:38,470
Remember, Jack?
We gotta be able to do dirt too.

2098
01:58:38,943 --> 01:58:42,606
You said, no.
Our job is to end all that.

2099
01:58:43,048 --> 01:58:45,039
Our job is to make it clean.

2100
01:58:45,383 --> 01:58:48,216
Because if it's clean, we win.

2101
01:58:49,854 --> 01:58:52,288
Because our ideas are better.

2102
01:58:53,958 --> 01:58:55,823
You remember that, Jack?

2103
01:58:57,295 --> 01:58:59,058
That was a long time ago.

2104
01:58:59,731 --> 01:59:03,497
Libby, you said it yourself.
We were young.

2105
01:59:04,369 --> 01:59:06,496
We didn't know
how the world worked.

2106
01:59:07,906 --> 01:59:09,498
Now we know.

2107
01:59:10,408 --> 01:59:14,139
We know that if we don't move on this Picker
situation, two things will happen.

2108
01:59:14,346 --> 01:59:16,871
The first is, we're dead.
Everything we've worked for

2109
01:59:16,981 --> 01:59:20,382
since Miami 25 years ago
dies, and fast.

2110
01:59:21,353 --> 01:59:24,550
The second thing that happens
is someday very soon, when the romance dies,

2111
01:59:24,656 --> 01:59:27,181
when they've gotten sick of Freddie Picker's
quiet, righteous act,

2112
01:59:27,325 --> 01:59:30,692
some enterprising journalist
will stumble onto this.

2113
01:59:32,197 --> 01:59:35,098
If he doesn't, the Republicans
will lead him to it on their timetable.

2114
01:59:35,200 --> 01:59:37,259
Next fall, it'll be
another Eagleton.

2115
01:59:38,103 --> 01:59:41,231
It'll be our fault this time
for letting it happen.

2116
01:59:41,906 --> 01:59:43,567
Your fault, Libby.

2117
01:59:44,943 --> 01:59:46,740
Honey, you may be right.

2118
01:59:46,845 --> 01:59:49,177
All of it may be right.

2119
01:59:49,414 --> 01:59:53,043
But we can't do it because it just ain't
who we're supposed to be.

2120
01:59:53,284 --> 01:59:56,185
Maybe we could leak part of it,
the Clearwater stuff.

2121
01:59:56,454 --> 01:59:58,183
We know the Republicans
have that.

2122
01:59:58,456 --> 02:00:01,016
You don't think they're gonna
have the rest any day now?

2123
02:00:01,192 --> 02:00:03,183
You think Reyes is only
gonna tell this story once?

2124
02:00:03,762 --> 02:00:06,196
I'm sorry, Libby.
There's just no discussion.

2125
02:00:06,431 --> 02:00:08,797
You're right. None.

2126
02:00:09,734 --> 02:00:12,430
Henry and me have decided
this dies here.

2127
02:00:12,904 --> 02:00:14,269
I don't think so.

2128
02:00:19,144 --> 02:00:21,874
I'm sorry, sweetheart,
but it does.

2129
02:00:22,714 --> 02:00:24,272
And here's why.

2130
02:00:26,251 --> 02:00:27,878
You know what this is?

2131
02:00:28,286 --> 02:00:32,586
Test results on Jack's blood,
Uncle Charlie's blood taken over the years.

2132
02:00:32,757 --> 02:00:36,989
This is the blood test report
Jack gave me that proves he's not the father

2133
02:00:37,095 --> 02:00:38,392
of Loretta McCollister's baby.

2134
02:00:38,463 --> 02:00:41,057
You know what, Jack?
It's not your blood.

2135
02:00:42,100 --> 02:00:43,124
Isn't that a riot?

2136
02:00:44,569 --> 02:00:47,800
The blood sample Dr. Beauregard took
was not from you.

2137
02:00:48,106 --> 02:00:49,937
It was from Uncle Charlie.

2138
02:00:50,508 --> 02:00:52,442
You sent him to have his blood
tested in your place,

2139
02:00:52,510 --> 02:00:55,070
because you know good old Dr. Beauregard
loves you and

2140
02:00:55,180 --> 02:00:57,307
wants to teach
those Yankees a lesson.

2141
02:00:57,582 --> 02:01:00,176
He's not gonna love you enough
to lose his license, Jack.

2142
02:01:00,452 --> 02:01:03,444
Once he knows I have proof,
he'll fold like a cheap accordion.

2143
02:01:03,922 --> 02:01:06,948
I know that won't prove
you are the father of Loretta's baby.

2144
02:01:07,325 --> 02:01:09,020
In fact,
I think you're not.

2145
02:01:09,260 --> 02:01:11,490
But it proves you thought
you might be.

2146
02:01:12,263 --> 02:01:16,097
That proves you fucked her.
That will kill your chances.

2147
02:01:16,835 --> 02:01:18,302
You would do that.

2148
02:01:19,103 --> 02:01:21,162
You would end
his political career.

2149
02:01:23,007 --> 02:01:26,204
You see, Jack,
she hasn't even heard.

2150
02:01:27,278 --> 02:01:31,112
She isn't even upset that you fucked
your 17-year-old baby-sitter.

2151
02:01:31,716 --> 02:01:35,618
You know why?
It's never the cheat who goes to hell.

2152
02:01:35,820 --> 02:01:37,981
It's always the one
who he cheated on.

2153
02:01:38,456 --> 02:01:41,118
That's why you can still talk
in that tenderhearted voice

2154
02:01:41,226 --> 02:01:42,853
about bein' in it for the folks.

2155
02:01:43,161 --> 02:01:47,393
And Susie here can only talk in that voice
from hell about your political career.

2156
02:01:47,999 --> 02:01:52,732
What kind of shit is that?
Excuse me, I forgot.

2157
02:01:52,904 --> 02:01:57,466
It's the same old shit.
It's the shit no one ever calls you on ever.

2158
02:01:57,575 --> 02:02:00,976
Because you're so completely
fucking special.

2159
02:02:01,546 --> 02:02:04,572
Because everyone was always
so proud of you.

2160
02:02:05,383 --> 02:02:07,977
Me too.
Me the worst.

2161
02:02:10,722 --> 02:02:12,986
It just makes it
a whole lot easier for me.

2162
02:02:14,826 --> 02:02:17,556
It's totally depressing.

2163
02:02:17,829 --> 02:02:21,663
What have I been doing this for my whole
pathetic fucking life?

2164
02:02:24,602 --> 02:02:26,331
So here's the deal.

2165
02:02:26,838 --> 02:02:31,366
If you move on Freddy Picker, who I think
we all agree is a flawed but decent man,

2166
02:02:32,110 --> 02:02:33,907
I move on you.

2167
02:02:35,747 --> 02:02:37,442
Yes.

2168
02:02:38,616 --> 02:02:42,382
I will destroy this village
in order to save it.

2169
02:02:51,296 --> 02:02:53,423
Henry, tomorrow we...

2170
02:03:08,246 --> 02:03:10,111
Is that for me?

2171
02:03:10,248 --> 02:03:11,875
No, darlin'.

2172
02:03:12,917 --> 02:03:14,544
Where are we?

2173
02:03:14,986 --> 02:03:17,784
We're just coming up to my beautiful
condo by the river.

2174
02:03:18,790 --> 02:03:22,055
Hey, do you wanna come in
for some coffee, booze, Diet Coke?

2175
02:03:22,627 --> 02:03:24,720
Not tonight.

2176
02:03:26,397 --> 02:03:28,592
Deliver this for me, will ya?

2177
02:03:29,133 --> 02:03:30,725
I'm not gonna use it.

2178
02:03:31,402 --> 02:03:34,769
You're giving them the blood test info,
letting them off the hook?

2179
02:03:34,973 --> 02:03:39,342
Why not? Picker will go down anyway.
We can't save him.

2180
02:03:41,079 --> 02:03:44,571
The whole point of this was to see
if they'd turn him in, and they will.

2181
02:03:44,749 --> 02:03:47,309
They didn't even fuckin' hesitate.

2182
02:03:49,621 --> 02:03:52,181
So that's that.

2183
02:03:53,791 --> 02:03:56,919
Let 'em swing, Libby.
Let 'em sweat a little.

2184
02:03:57,128 --> 02:03:58,755
Oh, honey.

2185
02:04:01,499 --> 02:04:03,433
You see that moon?

2186
02:04:04,535 --> 02:04:07,800
That's me.
It's beautiful, huh?

2187
02:04:09,040 --> 02:04:10,598
But, Henry,

2188
02:04:12,477 --> 02:04:14,377
it's only reflected light.

2189
02:04:14,545 --> 02:04:16,342
It needs the sun.

2190
02:04:17,615 --> 02:04:19,606
The Stantons are my sun.

2191
02:04:21,119 --> 02:04:24,987
I lived my life drawing light
and warmth from them.

2192
02:04:26,290 --> 02:04:29,054
Without them,
I'm bleak and cold

2193
02:04:29,293 --> 02:04:31,454
and airless for eternity.

2194
02:04:36,534 --> 02:04:38,229
You be careful, Henry.

2195
02:04:39,237 --> 02:04:41,330
You still have something
of an atmosphere.

2196
02:04:42,340 --> 02:04:44,968
Find yourself a life, okay?

2197
02:04:45,810 --> 02:04:47,209
Okay.

2198
02:04:47,979 --> 02:04:49,640
Come here.

2199
02:04:55,086 --> 02:04:57,247
Go on now.

2200
02:05:07,331 --> 02:05:11,358
- Try and get some sleep.
- You can find your way from here?

2201
02:05:11,903 --> 02:05:14,497
Oh, sure.

2202
02:05:14,839 --> 02:05:18,673
From here? There's only two ways
you can go from here.

2203
02:05:19,711 --> 02:05:21,838
- Bye, sweetie.
- Good night.

2204
02:05:41,432 --> 02:05:43,423
No! No. No.

2205
02:05:44,268 --> 02:05:46,361
Oh, God, no.

2206
02:05:55,646 --> 02:05:58,809
- Hey, hey!
- No, she's a friend of mine.

2207
02:05:58,983 --> 02:06:00,951
She's a close friend of mine.
Come on. Let me through.

2208
02:06:01,119 --> 02:06:02,552
It's okay.

2209
02:06:02,720 --> 02:06:05,814
It's all right.

2210
02:06:27,411 --> 02:06:29,606
A lot of us here today grew up
with Libby Holden.

2211
02:06:30,414 --> 02:06:31,938
She was our friend.

2212
02:06:32,116 --> 02:06:33,276
She was our big sister.

2213
02:06:34,685 --> 02:06:38,451
She bullied us.
She drove us crazy.

2214
02:06:40,091 --> 02:06:42,116
Worst of all, she remembered
everything about us.

2215
02:06:43,261 --> 02:06:45,252
Everything we hoped to be.

2216
02:06:45,696 --> 02:06:47,994
Everything we wanted
the world to be.

2217
02:06:48,699 --> 02:06:50,758
All those young promises made,

2218
02:06:50,835 --> 02:06:52,928
Libby remembered
in the original wording.

2219
02:06:55,139 --> 02:06:57,607
Before she died,
she wrote me a note.

2220
02:06:58,609 --> 02:07:00,167
It said,

2221
02:07:01,946 --> 02:07:03,811
I am so fucking
disappointed in you.

2222
02:07:04,182 --> 02:07:06,173
Shape up.

2223
02:07:08,019 --> 02:07:10,453
I am so sorry
that I disappointed her.

2224
02:07:10,688 --> 02:07:14,954
Lam so sorry I can't look
at her and say

2225
02:07:15,893 --> 02:07:17,861
that I will promise
to do better.

2226
02:07:18,963 --> 02:07:22,524
She lent us her courage
and her warmth...

2227
02:07:23,467 --> 02:07:25,128
and her madness.

2228
02:07:25,703 --> 02:07:27,170
She...

2229
02:07:29,073 --> 02:07:31,633
She had
the most amazing heart.

2230
02:07:36,747 --> 02:07:38,305
Long trip.

2231
02:07:40,685 --> 02:07:42,550
No press that I can see.

2232
02:07:43,254 --> 02:07:44,983
Not yet.

2233
02:07:56,601 --> 02:07:58,330
Follow me, Governor.

2234
02:08:00,271 --> 02:08:03,502
This is the only copy left.
I want you to have it

2235
02:08:03,574 --> 02:08:06,338
because it might help to know
what someone else may find.

2236
02:08:06,677 --> 02:08:09,510
I shouldn't have looked for it.
I'm really sorry.

2237
02:08:12,750 --> 02:08:14,377
Fucking cocaine.

2238
02:08:15,553 --> 02:08:19,353
You know, I was so successful
at everything I did.

2239
02:08:19,857 --> 02:08:23,349
In business, politics.
Hell, I could handle anything.

2240
02:08:24,195 --> 02:08:25,685
Except cocaine.

2241
02:08:27,064 --> 02:08:29,532
Only, I didn't know that
because of cocaine.

2242
02:08:30,401 --> 02:08:33,768
That's really what fucked up my marriage.
It wasn't anything else.

2243
02:08:35,406 --> 02:08:36,873
And...

2244
02:08:39,043 --> 02:08:41,944
I did go to bed
with 'Renzo once or twice.

2245
02:08:44,315 --> 02:08:45,873
Hell, it was
just a coke thing.

2246
02:08:45,950 --> 02:08:47,542
I could do anything,
so I did that too.

2247
02:08:51,222 --> 02:08:53,383
I'm seeing
a really nice woman now.

2248
02:08:54,492 --> 02:08:57,222
I suppose I have to tell her.

2249
02:08:59,096 --> 02:09:00,893
Hell of a price to pay,
isn't it?

2250
02:09:01,966 --> 02:09:04,093
Maybe no one will find out.

2251
02:09:05,002 --> 02:09:07,562
You did in a day.

2252
02:09:09,607 --> 02:09:11,598
I should never have said yes
to Mrs. Harris,

2253
02:09:11,742 --> 02:09:14,734
but I liked what Harris was doing,
and I thought I'd give it a week.

2254
02:09:15,146 --> 02:09:16,977
Then it...
It just took off.

2255
02:09:17,081 --> 02:09:20,847
- Once I did that blood thing...
- That was great politics.

2256
02:09:21,285 --> 02:09:23,845
Yeah. Amazing, wasn't it?

2257
02:09:25,256 --> 02:09:27,520
Jack, I'd like to thank you
for coming here

2258
02:09:27,925 --> 02:09:30,086
the honorable way you have.

2259
02:09:31,295 --> 02:09:32,762
I was wrong to stay in.

2260
02:09:32,830 --> 02:09:34,593
I just hope when I quit

2261
02:09:34,665 --> 02:09:36,633
maybe they won't hit it as hard.

2262
02:09:39,370 --> 02:09:40,837
My boys...

2263
02:09:43,174 --> 02:09:45,642
I really don't want them
to know about 'Renzo.

2264
02:09:47,311 --> 02:09:49,370
But probably
the bottom line is...

2265
02:09:50,648 --> 02:09:53,776
I'm gonna be a national joke.

2266
02:09:55,886 --> 02:09:57,353
And I'm gonna have to
explain it all

2267
02:09:57,455 --> 02:09:59,150
to my boys, either way.

2268
02:10:00,691 --> 02:10:02,886
Because no matter what I do...

2269
02:10:03,461 --> 02:10:05,361
the press is still
gonna find out

2270
02:10:05,463 --> 02:10:06,521
the rest of it, aren't they?

2271
02:10:08,466 --> 02:10:11,128
If they think it'll sell
one newspaper, yes.

2272
02:10:13,804 --> 02:10:15,362
Oh, my God.

2273
02:10:24,348 --> 02:10:28,842
If there's anything I can do,
anything that can make it a little better...

2274
02:10:40,664 --> 02:10:43,997
<i>I can still hear
the soft summer wind</i>

2275
02:10:44,502 --> 02:10:46,697
<i>In the live oak trees</i>

2276
02:10:47,905 --> 02:10:50,703
<i>And those Williams boys</i>

2277
02:10:50,841 --> 02:10:53,241
<i>They still mean a lot to me</i>

2278
02:10:53,677 --> 02:10:55,577
<i>Hank and Tennessee</i>

2279
02:10:56,180 --> 02:11:01,675
<i>I guess we're all gonna be
what we're gonna be</i>

2280
02:11:02,620 --> 02:11:04,451
<i>So what do you do</i>

2281
02:11:04,588 --> 02:11:07,216
<i>With good ol' boys like me</i>

2282
02:11:07,291 --> 02:11:08,724
You know,
I love that song.

2283
02:11:08,793 --> 02:11:10,522
The line about
the Williams boys.

2284
02:11:10,694 --> 02:11:12,184
It's never just Hank.

2285
02:11:12,263 --> 02:11:15,096
The picture ain't complete
without ol' Tennessee.

2286
02:11:18,202 --> 02:11:21,365
Governor, I'm resigning
from the campaign.

2287
02:11:26,110 --> 02:11:28,101
I don't accept
your resignation.

2288
02:11:28,479 --> 02:11:32,245
Look, I just don't feel comfortable
about this anymore.

2289
02:11:32,450 --> 02:11:34,577
- About what?
- This...

2290
02:11:35,286 --> 02:11:36,913
This line of work.

2291
02:11:37,154 --> 02:11:39,452
I spoke to Richard.
He's back on board.

2292
02:11:39,790 --> 02:11:41,655
I'm puttin' him in charge.
Campaign manager.

2293
02:11:41,959 --> 02:11:43,654
Probably in the office now.

2294
02:11:43,828 --> 02:11:45,955
I'm bringing Daisy back too,
if she'll come.

2295
02:11:46,063 --> 02:11:49,157
- That's not what this is about.
- Then what is it?

2296
02:11:49,600 --> 02:11:51,397
Libby.

2297
02:11:51,569 --> 02:11:53,230
Libby's test.
You flunked it.

2298
02:11:53,404 --> 02:11:55,338
But just now
I passed it,

2299
02:11:55,439 --> 02:11:57,600
so which grade do I get,
the high or the low?

2300
02:11:57,741 --> 02:11:59,003
If she hadn't died...

2301
02:11:59,110 --> 02:12:00,941
If she hadn't died,
I'd have leaked the file

2302
02:12:01,011 --> 02:12:02,569
to someone, and I'd have
felt bad about it.

2303
02:12:02,646 --> 02:12:05,240
But you know what?
I would have been wrong not to do it.

2304
02:12:05,349 --> 02:12:08,409
What I did now, I did for Libby,
but it wasn't right.

2305
02:12:08,486 --> 02:12:10,181
If Picker hadn't quit,
he'd have won the nomination,

2306
02:12:10,287 --> 02:12:11,982
gone down and
taken the party with him.

2307
02:12:12,089 --> 02:12:14,080
- It was only a question of when.
- And how.

2308
02:12:14,258 --> 02:12:16,192
And who pushed him off
the cliff when he was falling.

2309
02:12:16,293 --> 02:12:17,692
Those are fine points,

2310
02:12:17,795 --> 02:12:21,663
how many angels can you fit
on the head of a pin points.

2311
02:12:21,765 --> 02:12:23,255
This is hardball.

2312
02:12:23,367 --> 02:12:25,927
You tellin' me you just discovered
that you don't have the stomach for it?

2313
02:12:26,670 --> 02:12:29,434
I know you better than that.
We spent too much time together.

2314
02:12:30,174 --> 02:12:33,632
This is it, Henry.
This is the price you pay to lead.

2315
02:12:33,978 --> 02:12:37,345
You don't think Abraham Lincoln was a whore
before he was a president?

2316
02:12:37,615 --> 02:12:38,980
He had to tell his stories

2317
02:12:39,049 --> 02:12:41,847
and smile his shit-eating,
back-country grin.

2318
02:12:41,986 --> 02:12:44,819
He did it so he would one day
have the opportunity

2319
02:12:44,955 --> 02:12:46,217
to stand in front
of the nation

2320
02:12:46,323 --> 02:12:48,553
and appeal to
the better angels of our nature.

2321
02:12:49,160 --> 02:12:50,889
That's where
the bullshit stops.

2322
02:12:51,862 --> 02:12:52,988
That's what it's all about.

2323
02:12:53,063 --> 02:12:56,624
So we have the opportunity to make
the most of it, to do it the right way.

2324
02:12:56,800 --> 02:12:59,530
You know as well as I do
there are plenty

2325
02:12:59,637 --> 02:13:02,197
of people playing this game
that don't think that way.

2326
02:13:02,306 --> 02:13:05,070
They're willing to sell their souls,
crawl through sewers,

2327
02:13:05,209 --> 02:13:07,643
lie to people, divide them,
play on their worst fears,

2328
02:13:07,711 --> 02:13:10,544
for nothing,
just for the prize.

2329
02:13:10,981 --> 02:13:12,505
I don't care.

2330
02:13:14,552 --> 02:13:18,215
I'm sorry, but I'm not
comparing the players.

2331
02:13:18,989 --> 02:13:20,650
I don't like the game.

2332
02:13:22,259 --> 02:13:25,592
I wanna work for something small.
Voter registration.

2333
02:13:26,096 --> 02:13:28,724
After everyone's registered,
who will they vote for?

2334
02:13:29,033 --> 02:13:31,365
In the end, Henry,
who can do this better than me?

2335
02:13:31,435 --> 02:13:33,266
Think about it.
Is there anyone out there

2336
02:13:33,404 --> 02:13:35,372
with a chance
to actually win this election

2337
02:13:35,439 --> 02:13:37,202
who'd do more for the people
than I would?

2338
02:13:37,541 --> 02:13:39,839
Who'd even think about the folks
I care about?

2339
02:13:41,679 --> 02:13:43,203
Oh, shit.

2340
02:13:43,280 --> 02:13:45,077
Aw, is that them?
So quick?

2341
02:13:45,182 --> 02:13:48,777
- That damn driver. I knew it.
- All right.

2342
02:13:48,886 --> 02:13:51,377
We'll go talk to them together.
Come on.

2343
02:13:51,722 --> 02:13:53,690
Ah, don't shake your head.

2344
02:13:54,291 --> 02:13:56,555
We worked so hard together
to get here.

2345
02:13:56,961 --> 02:13:59,555
It's there for us now.
Right there.

2346
02:14:00,297 --> 02:14:02,288
We can do incredible things.

2347
02:14:03,133 --> 02:14:05,397
We can change
this whole country.

2348
02:14:07,638 --> 02:14:09,037
I'm gonna win this thing,

2349
02:14:09,106 --> 02:14:12,473
and when I do,
we're gonna make history.

2350
02:14:12,576 --> 02:14:15,773
Look me in the eye and tell me
it's not gonna happen.

2351
02:14:15,946 --> 02:14:18,540
Look me in the eye
and tell me

2352
02:14:18,616 --> 02:14:19,640
you don't wanna be part of it.

2353
02:14:21,819 --> 02:14:23,980
Jeez... Jesus, Henry.

2354
02:14:24,121 --> 02:14:25,748
You want me to get down
on my knees?

2355
02:14:26,090 --> 02:14:29,582
I can't do without you.
Don't leave me now.

2356
02:14:31,790 --> 02:14:33,782
You're still with me,
aren't you?

2357
02:14:34,331 --> 02:14:36,663
Say you are. Say it. Say it.

2358
02:14:39,403 --> 02:14:41,166
Come on. Henry!

2359
02:14:41,505 --> 02:14:44,269
This is ridiculous!
You gotta be with me!

2360
02:15:47,004 --> 02:15:49,063
Mr. President.

2361
02:15:59,883 --> 02:16:01,680
Now, don't break our hearts.

2362
02:16:04,521 --> 02:16:07,319
Mazel tov, Mr. President.

2363
02:16:08,305 --> 02:17:08,788
