1
00:00:24,235 --> 00:00:27,780
SWING VOTE
2
00:00:50,218 --> 00:00:53,450
After a hotly contested race,
Americans go to the polls today...
3
00:00:53,450 --> 00:00:56,199
in what promises to be
a very close election.
4
00:00:56,298 --> 00:00:59,978
The Republican Andrew Boone,
hoping to hold on to the Oval Office...
5
00:00:59,978 --> 00:01:02,218
by edging out...
6
00:01:02,218 --> 00:01:04,422
the Democratic challenger
Donald Greenleaf.
7
00:01:24,810 --> 00:01:27,080
Bud... Bud.
8
00:01:28,426 --> 00:01:29,058
Bud!
9
00:01:33,515 --> 00:01:34,725
I'll call... I'll call him back.
10
00:01:35,019 --> 00:01:37,768
If we had a phone, you could.
Come on!
11
00:01:40,362 --> 00:01:42,850
Goddamnit! It's cold.
12
00:01:42,922 --> 00:01:45,704
We're gonna be late again.
You need a shower.
13
00:01:46,634 --> 00:01:48,576
Can't believe
you slept in your clothes!
14
00:01:59,594 --> 00:02:01,023
Leave me any hot water?
15
00:02:01,930 --> 00:02:04,418
I don't know.
Water heater fix itself?
16
00:02:06,282 --> 00:02:09,578
Christ, Molly! Why don't you
just take the day off, okay?
17
00:02:09,578 --> 00:02:11,171
I'll write you a note.
18
00:02:13,675 --> 00:02:16,009
Now!
I'm not going to tell you again!
19
00:02:17,130 --> 00:02:17,893
Get up!
20
00:02:27,210 --> 00:02:27,876
Bud!
21
00:02:28,683 --> 00:02:30,308
Alright, I'm coming!
22
00:03:03,978 --> 00:03:06,400
- What?
- Egg salad.
23
00:03:07,402 --> 00:03:08,067
Again?
24
00:03:08,842 --> 00:03:10,151
You like egg salad.
25
00:03:10,219 --> 00:03:14,561
Well, not every damn day I don't.
You could mix it up a little.
26
00:03:14,794 --> 00:03:15,809
We're on a budget.
27
00:03:16,202 --> 00:03:18,569
You wanna eat better?
Drink less beer.
28
00:03:21,098 --> 00:03:22,756
- Fine.
- Fine.
29
00:03:24,202 --> 00:03:27,847
- And don't forget today.
- What's... what's today?
30
00:03:28,394 --> 00:03:29,671
Election day, dummy!
31
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:32,799
I'm supposed to do a report
on you voting, remember?
32
00:03:32,874 --> 00:03:35,557
I already told you before
I'm not even registered.
33
00:03:35,818 --> 00:03:37,930
I registered for you
in the mail.
34
00:03:37,930 --> 00:03:40,777
That's great,
I could get jury duty now.
35
00:03:40,970 --> 00:03:44,069
- It's your civic responsibility.
- It's my civic, my what?
36
00:03:44,234 --> 00:03:45,866
It's your civic responsibility.
37
00:03:45,866 --> 00:03:48,419
My civic responsibility?
Where you learning this crap?
38
00:03:49,642 --> 00:03:50,886
Mrs. Abernathy.
39
00:03:51,050 --> 00:03:53,155
Well, stay away from her.
40
00:03:54,666 --> 00:03:55,811
She's my teacher.
41
00:04:20,522 --> 00:04:21,285
Sign this.
42
00:04:24,170 --> 00:04:24,802
What is it?
43
00:04:25,386 --> 00:04:28,420
A questionnaire. I'm supposed
to ask you about your politics.
44
00:04:29,290 --> 00:04:31,396
Well, go ahead.
45
00:04:31,498 --> 00:04:32,513
I already filled it in.
46
00:04:33,866 --> 00:04:35,143
I wanted you to sound smart.
47
00:04:37,962 --> 00:04:39,336
Give me
the first question anyway.
48
00:04:42,922 --> 00:04:44,515
What's your political affiliation?
49
00:04:47,146 --> 00:04:50,495
Alright,
I'm a conscious objector.
50
00:04:50,986 --> 00:04:55,115
It's not a war, Bud. It's an election.
And you are an independent.
51
00:04:55,115 --> 00:04:58,497
Independent? Why in the hell
would I be an independent?
52
00:04:59,018 --> 00:05:00,394
Because the two party system...
53
00:05:00,394 --> 00:05:03,296
has neglected the needs
of the working poor.
54
00:05:03,690 --> 00:05:05,119
- Let me tell you something, baby...
- Here we go again.
55
00:05:07,595 --> 00:05:10,464
The voting doesn't count
for a goddamn thing.
56
00:05:10,730 --> 00:05:13,348
Just a way to make you feel
like you're in control of something.
57
00:05:13,898 --> 00:05:17,803
It doesn't matter who you vote for,
we can't afford insurance and...
58
00:05:17,803 --> 00:05:21,697
if you get sick, I'm gonna have
to start selling my blood again.
59
00:05:21,834 --> 00:05:25,514
Mrs. Abernathy said every vote counts.
It's a social contract.
60
00:05:25,514 --> 00:05:29,955
It's a social contract.
This Mrs. Abernathy is full of shit.
61
00:05:48,970 --> 00:05:50,793
Meet me at the polling place
after work.
62
00:05:51,466 --> 00:05:52,098
Fine.
63
00:05:57,098 --> 00:05:58,243
You forgetting something?
64
00:06:01,706 --> 00:06:04,968
Bud, screw this up
and I'm leaving you.
65
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:11,366
Do good!
66
00:06:40,266 --> 00:06:40,800
Where...
67
00:06:43,114 --> 00:06:44,194
Where the hell is Dewey?
68
00:06:45,258 --> 00:06:46,371
He got laid off.
69
00:06:46,442 --> 00:06:48,831
Bullshit! He got insourced.
70
00:06:49,738 --> 00:06:50,665
Insourced?
71
00:06:50,858 --> 00:06:54,503
Insourced. Instead of exporting
our jobs to Mexico...
72
00:06:54,634 --> 00:06:57,154
they're importing Mexicans
to take our jobs.
73
00:06:57,642 --> 00:06:59,137
You're paranoid,
you know that?
74
00:06:59,914 --> 00:07:03,908
Attention! The opening
this morning is officially cancelled.
75
00:07:07,242 --> 00:07:09,544
I can't even read
the damn signs no more!
76
00:07:10,794 --> 00:07:13,281
Our days are numbered, fellas.
You mark my words!
77
00:07:13,674 --> 00:07:15,845
These hombres work twice
as hard for half the money.
78
00:07:16,106 --> 00:07:19,106
I just figure they need this job
twice as bad as us!
79
00:07:19,978 --> 00:07:22,050
Whose side are you on?
80
00:07:22,282 --> 00:07:26,112
I don't take sides, Lowell.
Just stating the obvious.
81
00:07:27,978 --> 00:07:30,312
Next thing, they'll be taking
away our right to vote.
82
00:07:31,306 --> 00:07:32,167
You voting, Bud?
83
00:07:32,778 --> 00:07:34,785
It's a social contract,
isn't it?
84
00:07:35,914 --> 00:07:37,408
Who are you voting for?
85
00:07:39,274 --> 00:07:40,616
Shit if I know!
86
00:07:44,234 --> 00:07:49,187
I think I picked up a couple shades.
Looks like an eight.
87
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,400
What do you think, Marty?
88
00:07:51,786 --> 00:07:53,509
I don't like
the margin in Florida.
89
00:07:53,674 --> 00:07:57,187
Bus some young Republicans down
to the polling stations in Palm Beach.
90
00:07:57,417 --> 00:08:01,640
Make sure they're tall,
they're blonde and they're men.
91
00:08:02,506 --> 00:08:06,663
Because old Jews see a pack
of angry young white males...
92
00:08:06,794 --> 00:08:09,380
and they're gonna think twice
about getting out of their car!
93
00:08:10,570 --> 00:08:14,399
Kennedy was a nine.
And he put a man on the moon.
94
00:08:17,034 --> 00:08:20,105
That's what we need.
Something to shoot for.
95
00:08:20,105 --> 00:08:23,269
A defining moment.
Like... I don't know.
96
00:08:26,314 --> 00:08:27,394
Cure for cancer.
97
00:08:31,274 --> 00:08:33,930
Ohio run the gay marriage
ad every twenty minutes.
98
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:36,234
Let's see if we can't get those God
fearing bastards off the fence.
99
00:08:36,234 --> 00:08:38,689
We take a bunch of scientists,
put them in the desert somewhere.
100
00:08:39,049 --> 00:08:42,154
Like the Manhattan project. Are you
listening to me? I'm serious about this.
101
00:08:42,154 --> 00:08:44,842
I think that cancer is going to be
a tough nut to crack in one term, sir.
102
00:08:44,842 --> 00:08:46,151
So, we make it a ten year plan.
103
00:08:46,442 --> 00:08:48,646
- Lincoln got to see the end of slavery?
- No.
104
00:08:49,098 --> 00:08:51,008
- Did Kennedy get to see the moon shot?
- Nope.
105
00:08:51,177 --> 00:08:55,106
No! But they got the credit!
It's the idea that counts.
106
00:08:55,242 --> 00:08:58,177
The guy that sets the goal
gets in the history books!
107
00:08:58,634 --> 00:09:02,378
Hope and positivity! Marty,
the American people want a bright...
108
00:09:02,378 --> 00:09:05,694
shining smile to represent
the promise of this country.
109
00:09:06,282 --> 00:09:07,559
Take old Georgie there.
110
00:09:09,450 --> 00:09:12,865
Boy, he was off the charts.
111
00:09:14,186 --> 00:09:15,430
They wanted to make him King.
112
00:09:16,874 --> 00:09:17,768
Son of a gun!
113
00:09:31,306 --> 00:09:33,509
Thank you,
thank you for coming.
114
00:09:35,018 --> 00:09:39,142
Galena and I would like
to thank America...
115
00:09:39,529 --> 00:09:41,634
for this glorious opportunity.
116
00:09:41,770 --> 00:09:45,567
I have met people of every race,
color and creed...
117
00:09:45,642 --> 00:09:47,366
during this long campaign.
118
00:09:47,530 --> 00:09:51,359
I pledge to you that my White House
will be a rainbow house.
119
00:09:51,434 --> 00:09:54,434
It'll be open to people
of all colors and creeds.
120
00:09:54,922 --> 00:09:58,151
Now, please, go and vote.
We need your support.
121
00:10:04,522 --> 00:10:06,016
That was great.
I'm gonna go do press.
122
00:10:06,154 --> 00:10:06,623
Great.
123
00:10:10,954 --> 00:10:15,013
Greenleaf! Greenleaf!
124
00:10:16,042 --> 00:10:17,667
Gallup has you down by a point.
125
00:10:17,737 --> 00:10:21,666
CNN, USA Today, has us up by two.
News has us down by sixty.
126
00:10:21,738 --> 00:10:23,942
What message are you trying
to get out to the undecideds today?
127
00:10:24,010 --> 00:10:27,210
The same message we put out yesterday,
last week and last year...
128
00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:29,665
when we started this campaign
and that's why we're going to win.
129
00:10:29,898 --> 00:10:33,313
Because we have the answers.
Not platitudes and jingoistic rhetoric.
130
00:10:33,482 --> 00:10:35,937
This is the truth
train operation real deal.
131
00:10:36,042 --> 00:10:39,466
In recent days, the president
has aired ads claiming Greenleaf...
132
00:10:39,466 --> 00:10:41,290
has vacationed
at a nudist colony.
133
00:10:41,290 --> 00:10:43,875
Come on, now, that's a tired
accusation. It's pure fiction.
134
00:10:44,042 --> 00:10:47,497
- Then, how do you answer for the photos?
- Right wing blogo-smear, that's how.
135
00:10:47,497 --> 00:10:51,274
I could stand here and perpetuate
the rumor that as a young man...
136
00:10:51,274 --> 00:10:54,722
the president had a gambling addiction,
but I'm got going to sink to their level.
137
00:10:55,146 --> 00:10:58,026
Despite eye witness
accounts and documentation.
138
00:10:58,026 --> 00:10:59,619
They sling mud,
we sling ideas.
139
00:10:59,690 --> 00:11:03,432
Still, if Greenleaf loses,
you'll be 0 for 7 on the national scene.
140
00:11:05,002 --> 00:11:08,297
Thank you, Betty. Sorry, folks,
that's all I have time for.
141
00:11:08,906 --> 00:11:09,833
Leeches!
142
00:11:11,658 --> 00:11:13,697
Why it's important to vote.
143
00:11:13,769 --> 00:11:16,420
Many brave soldiers
sacrificed themselves.
144
00:11:16,586 --> 00:11:18,277
A right we take for granted.
145
00:11:18,858 --> 00:11:20,768
- For the people.
- By the people.
146
00:11:21,066 --> 00:11:22,854
We the people!
147
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:25,279
I can't read my writing.
148
00:11:25,962 --> 00:11:28,995
All the world's great civilizations
have followed the same path.
149
00:11:29,354 --> 00:11:32,802
From bondage, to liberty,
from liberty to abundance...
150
00:11:33,002 --> 00:11:36,930
from abundance to complacency.
From complacency to apathy...
151
00:11:37,257 --> 00:11:39,232
from apathy back to bondage.
152
00:11:39,306 --> 00:11:43,048
If we're to be the exception to history,
then we must break the cycle.
153
00:11:43,754 --> 00:11:47,103
For those who do not remember
the past are condemned to repeat it.
154
00:11:51,049 --> 00:11:53,024
Very good, everybody.
Very good.
155
00:11:54,793 --> 00:11:55,589
Hold this.
156
00:11:55,818 --> 00:11:59,265
Okay, remember, no running
till you get out to the playground.
157
00:11:59,689 --> 00:12:02,314
Your last one was great.
I'd like to use it on the news.
158
00:12:02,314 --> 00:12:03,143
- Molly?
- Yes.
159
00:12:03,370 --> 00:12:04,482
Molly, come here.
160
00:12:05,482 --> 00:12:08,585
This is Ms. Madison.
She's the reporter from the news.
161
00:12:08,585 --> 00:12:09,930
- Hi, Molly.
- Hi.
162
00:12:09,930 --> 00:12:11,107
- How you doing?
- Good.
163
00:12:11,177 --> 00:12:13,512
Your essay was very thoughtful.
164
00:12:13,834 --> 00:12:14,565
Thanks.
165
00:12:14,922 --> 00:12:17,354
Ms. Madison is going
to show your essay tonight.
166
00:12:17,354 --> 00:12:19,263
- Isn't that exciting?
- Yes, madam.
167
00:12:19,338 --> 00:12:22,633
Tell me something. What do you
want to be when you grow up?
168
00:12:25,673 --> 00:12:29,797
I go back and forth. Either
a veterinarian or chairman of the Fed.
169
00:12:34,313 --> 00:12:35,077
Where's Bud?
170
00:12:35,465 --> 00:12:39,775
Went to take a leak half an hour ago.
I heard his name over the loudspeaker.
171
00:12:41,002 --> 00:12:42,179
What'd you have for lunch?
172
00:12:42,537 --> 00:12:45,504
- Egg salad. You?
- Hard boiled.
173
00:12:50,762 --> 00:12:51,493
Hey, Bud.
174
00:12:54,282 --> 00:12:55,710
Just giving you a heads up.
175
00:12:58,409 --> 00:13:00,581
Management wants us
to cut another ten percent.
176
00:13:01,066 --> 00:13:05,092
Well,
you are management, Carl.
177
00:13:05,418 --> 00:13:08,582
Look, you haven't punched
in on time in six months.
178
00:13:08,809 --> 00:13:14,308
So, I'm five minutes late every once
in a while. What is the big whoop?
179
00:13:14,377 --> 00:13:17,923
You took thirty-one
sick days this year, Bud.
180
00:13:19,722 --> 00:13:23,552
Well, I gotta kid, Carl.
She brings it home from school.
181
00:13:41,769 --> 00:13:43,362
Shit! Goddamnit!
182
00:14:03,370 --> 00:14:05,475
Well, hell, Carl!
183
00:14:06,313 --> 00:14:09,095
You could have showed me
your footage when you walked in.
184
00:14:10,249 --> 00:14:14,406
I know we went to school together, Bud.
I've always liked you.
185
00:14:15,530 --> 00:14:18,213
You gotta give me one good
reason why I should keep you.
186
00:14:21,162 --> 00:14:22,372
Why I can keep you.
187
00:14:53,194 --> 00:14:54,241
All hellsabelle!
188
00:14:58,890 --> 00:15:00,351
Sorry you lost your job.
189
00:15:00,489 --> 00:15:03,304
That's alright, Henry. Just...
190
00:15:05,418 --> 00:15:10,655
As soon as take your money,
I'm going from fired to retired.
191
00:15:11,241 --> 00:15:12,899
- Hey, Bud!
- Yes?
192
00:15:13,321 --> 00:15:14,696
Molly is on TV!
193
00:15:16,522 --> 00:15:18,245
- Apathy back to bondage.
- Geez!
194
00:15:18,537 --> 00:15:22,149
If we are to be the exception to history,
then we must break the cycle.
195
00:15:22,954 --> 00:15:25,093
- Curly, what time you got?
- Nine past seven.
196
00:15:25,866 --> 00:15:26,465
God!
197
00:15:28,169 --> 00:15:30,722
God, man! Shit!
198
00:15:48,714 --> 00:15:49,990
Goddamnit!
199
00:18:24,777 --> 00:18:26,345
PLEASE,
INSERT YOUR BALLOT
200
00:18:26,345 --> 00:18:29,858
ERROR CODE - RESTART
201
00:19:29,929 --> 00:19:31,390
I hurt the top of my head.
202
00:19:32,265 --> 00:19:33,213
Come on, lay down.
203
00:19:44,521 --> 00:19:46,180
I'm so sorry, baby.
204
00:19:56,906 --> 00:19:58,335
I want to live with Mom.
205
00:20:03,945 --> 00:20:04,577
Me too.
206
00:20:19,177 --> 00:20:22,313
New Mexico
is a classic swing state.
207
00:20:22,313 --> 00:20:23,874
- Mrs. Madison?
- Speaking.
208
00:20:24,105 --> 00:20:26,756
I'm calling
from the New Mexico election board.
209
00:20:26,825 --> 00:20:29,481
- The what?
- The New Mexico election board.
210
00:20:29,481 --> 00:20:33,158
Madam, did you cast your vote
at a Texico polling station last night?
211
00:20:33,449 --> 00:20:35,391
I voted in the morning.
212
00:20:35,529 --> 00:20:37,353
In the morning. Alright.
213
00:20:37,353 --> 00:20:38,214
Is there something the matter?
214
00:20:38,505 --> 00:20:40,905
No, no, sorry to bother you.
215
00:20:40,905 --> 00:20:43,458
It is amazing. With every state
but New Mexico reporting...
216
00:20:43,657 --> 00:20:46,112
we're now in a dead heat
for the American presidency.
217
00:20:46,249 --> 00:20:49,119
Each candidate with virtually
the same amount of electoral votes.
218
00:20:49,193 --> 00:20:52,969
270, the magic number to win.
This is a real photo finish!
219
00:20:52,969 --> 00:20:55,140
And it goes to whoever wins
the popular vote in the state.
220
00:20:55,209 --> 00:20:57,828
All five electoral college votes
then swing to that party.
221
00:20:57,897 --> 00:21:00,041
Well, they don't call it the land
of enchantment for nothing.
222
00:21:00,041 --> 00:21:02,529
Whoever takes New Mexico,
takes the White House.
223
00:21:02,601 --> 00:21:07,619
It's d�ja vu again. 2000 presidential
election came down to Dade County.
224
00:21:07,689 --> 00:21:12,553
400 votes in the state of Florida,
out of a total of 105 million cast.
225
00:21:12,553 --> 00:21:17,124
If this is a certified tie, neither the
candidate would receive the majority.
226
00:21:17,353 --> 00:21:20,833
Do we even have a president
to deal with this?
227
00:21:20,969 --> 00:21:23,977
Pursuant to the 12th amendment, the
House of Representatives would decide.
228
00:21:23,977 --> 00:21:25,833
That hasn't happened since...
229
00:21:25,833 --> 00:21:30,405
John Quincy Adams defeated
Andrew Jackson back in 1824.
230
00:21:30,537 --> 00:21:32,031
We're talking rare.
231
00:21:32,297 --> 00:21:35,331
No, this isn't a great civics lesson
to the people of this country?
232
00:21:35,561 --> 00:21:40,329
If anyone in New Mexico didn't vote,
he be kicking themselves right now.
233
00:21:40,329 --> 00:21:44,770
The latest reports coming in,
Curry County still too close to call.
234
00:21:44,873 --> 00:21:48,670
This election is down to a single
county. Is this even possible?
235
00:21:49,801 --> 00:21:53,413
Listen, John, there's only 653
registered voters in Texico.
236
00:21:53,481 --> 00:21:55,041
And they've already
recounted those votes.
237
00:21:55,113 --> 00:21:58,659
I know. With that information
and a dollar, I could buy a chalupa!
238
00:21:58,793 --> 00:22:01,160
Everyone I know who voted
has been personally called.
239
00:22:02,025 --> 00:22:03,040
So what?
240
00:22:03,337 --> 00:22:05,726
So, the election. The fact
that it's down to Curry County...
241
00:22:06,057 --> 00:22:07,911
it has something
to do with Texico.
242
00:22:08,905 --> 00:22:10,727
Oh my God. Call you back!
243
00:22:29,545 --> 00:22:29,861
Bud!
244
00:22:31,817 --> 00:22:32,319
Come on!
245
00:22:33,801 --> 00:22:36,168
God, my head!
246
00:22:40,457 --> 00:22:42,465
What? What time is it?
247
00:22:42,729 --> 00:22:44,071
There's some people
here to see you.
248
00:22:45,065 --> 00:22:45,763
Some people?
249
00:22:46,537 --> 00:22:47,682
They look official.
250
00:22:50,857 --> 00:22:53,639
- Child services?
- That's what I'm thinking.
251
00:23:05,065 --> 00:23:06,953
- Okay.
- Here we go.
252
00:23:12,169 --> 00:23:15,203
Mr. Johnson, we would have called first,
but you don't have a telephone.
253
00:23:15,625 --> 00:23:19,487
No, no, no, we got a phone.
254
00:23:20,041 --> 00:23:22,793
It's just not connected right now.
But I'm on it, you know.
255
00:23:22,793 --> 00:23:25,663
I'm not gonna say it's been easy
since the wife left, but...
256
00:23:25,833 --> 00:23:27,938
- we're getting on fine.
- Sure are.
257
00:23:28,137 --> 00:23:33,222
And I'm gonna pay these off, I swear.
Just as soon as I find a new job.
258
00:23:33,385 --> 00:23:35,359
- A new job?
- Yes.
259
00:23:35,593 --> 00:23:40,457
I used to be in this Willy Nelson
tribute band. I was thinking about...
260
00:23:40,457 --> 00:23:45,061
getting the guys back together again,
soon as our bass player gets paroled.
261
00:23:45,353 --> 00:23:48,036
And the drinking, I know it,
I know it looks bad.
262
00:23:48,521 --> 00:23:51,783
And licking that sucker
is at the top of my list.
263
00:23:52,265 --> 00:23:54,720
Please don't take away from me.
264
00:23:55,977 --> 00:23:57,668
I'll do anything you say,
I swear.
265
00:23:59,849 --> 00:24:01,255
She's just my only good thing.
266
00:24:01,897 --> 00:24:04,385
Mr. Johnson,
we're not from Social Services.
267
00:24:06,089 --> 00:24:06,623
No?
268
00:24:07,465 --> 00:24:08,992
We're from the State
Election Bureau.
269
00:24:09,673 --> 00:24:12,837
Fuck! Thank you, Jesus!
270
00:24:15,721 --> 00:24:18,917
I'm Secretary of State Brower.
And this is Attorney General Wyatt.
271
00:24:18,985 --> 00:24:21,669
Mr. Johnson,
did you cast your vote last night?
272
00:24:22,825 --> 00:24:23,938
Last night, did you vote?
273
00:24:24,841 --> 00:24:30,373
That's right,
it's my civic duty, isn't it?
274
00:24:30,601 --> 00:24:31,681
Indeed it is.
275
00:24:32,489 --> 00:24:35,336
Mr. Johnson,
is this your signature?
276
00:24:40,073 --> 00:24:40,967
I guess.
277
00:24:41,224 --> 00:24:42,505
You guess it's your signature?
278
00:24:42,505 --> 00:24:46,880
No, no. That's right.
That's my signature.
279
00:24:47,433 --> 00:24:48,644
Did you retain your stub?
280
00:24:49,961 --> 00:24:50,757
What stub?
281
00:24:51,177 --> 00:24:53,348
The perforated stub
on top of your ballot.
282
00:24:59,913 --> 00:25:05,380
Where's that perforated stub
that I gave you for your school project?
283
00:25:05,993 --> 00:25:06,723
I've got it.
284
00:25:18,664 --> 00:25:19,330
It's him.
285
00:25:19,817 --> 00:25:21,890
Yeah, it's him. What do you mean,
"him?" Me, him?
286
00:25:23,945 --> 00:25:25,189
Sir, your vote didn't count.
287
00:25:25,929 --> 00:25:28,329
Mr. Johnson,
it's our duty to inform you...
288
00:25:28,329 --> 00:25:32,038
that you are entitled to recast
your ballot in a timely manner.
289
00:25:32,649 --> 00:25:34,591
What if I don't want to?
290
00:25:36,009 --> 00:25:36,608
Bud!
291
00:25:38,729 --> 00:25:43,113
Alright then, how about if I, how
about if I just whisper it to you then?
292
00:25:43,113 --> 00:25:45,480
Right here we'd get it over with,
right now and you can listen too!
293
00:25:45,544 --> 00:25:47,781
No, sir, there are strict rules
and legal procedures.
294
00:25:47,849 --> 00:25:51,646
Legal shit. Shit, fellas,
I can't afford a lawyer.
295
00:25:51,945 --> 00:25:54,563
You're not in trouble.
You don't need a lawyer.
296
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:57,156
However,
I will have to administer an oath.
297
00:25:57,385 --> 00:25:58,246
An oath?
298
00:25:58,313 --> 00:26:00,004
An oath. Please,
place your hand on the Bible.
299
00:26:02,537 --> 00:26:04,424
Do you, Earnest Johnson...
300
00:26:04,744 --> 00:26:07,744
swear to recast your ballot
in the spirit of the law?
301
00:26:08,297 --> 00:26:09,988
Yeah, yes, sure. Okay.
302
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:11,267
So noted.
303
00:26:11,337 --> 00:26:14,785
A petition will be filed on your behalf
and a date will be set for your revote.
304
00:26:14,953 --> 00:26:19,393
Does this put me
on some sort of fast track list?
305
00:26:20,712 --> 00:26:22,884
You know, for like jury duty?
306
00:26:23,881 --> 00:26:27,776
Considering the gravity of this
situation, keep all of this a secret.
307
00:26:29,193 --> 00:26:29,989
Have a good night.
308
00:26:45,672 --> 00:26:46,338
Sorry.
309
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:51,070
You should be! I could get into
all kinds of trouble because of you!
310
00:26:52,648 --> 00:26:53,769
Gosh, Molly!
311
00:26:53,769 --> 00:26:57,663
Why can't you
learn just to let things be?
312
00:26:57,993 --> 00:27:02,303
I told you this was important to me,
but you never listen!
313
00:27:11,817 --> 00:27:15,401
Another astonishing development:
New Mexico Elections Bureau is reporting...
314
00:27:15,401 --> 00:27:19,329
a single irregular ballot is holding
up a final decision in the state.
315
00:27:19,433 --> 00:27:22,946
As I said, a single ballot.
That's one vote, folks!
316
00:27:23,112 --> 00:27:26,281
This really couldn't get any stranger,
MSNBC has learned that the voter...
317
00:27:26,281 --> 00:27:28,703
has been identified and has
agreed to recast the ballot.
318
00:27:29,193 --> 00:27:33,022
One voter will decide the fate
of the state's five electoral votes.
319
00:27:33,161 --> 00:27:37,864
On this bizarre day, no one
will soon forget, one American citizen...
320
00:27:37,864 --> 00:27:41,661
will effectively choose the next
President of the United States.
321
00:27:42,857 --> 00:27:45,574
Apparently the electronic
voting machine malfunctioned.
322
00:27:45,641 --> 00:27:48,265
The ballot was scanned, but the machine
died before the vote was counted.
323
00:27:48,265 --> 00:27:49,128
It's an anomaly.
324
00:27:49,128 --> 00:27:51,430
No shit, Larry! What polling
station was the machine in?
325
00:27:51,497 --> 00:27:53,385
Texico, New Mexico, sir.
326
00:27:54,153 --> 00:27:55,233
Is that a place?
327
00:27:56,041 --> 00:27:58,016
Where the hell is Texico?
328
00:27:58,088 --> 00:27:59,779
New Mexico, sir, Curry County.
329
00:27:59,848 --> 00:28:02,980
New Mexico election law dictates
if a voter's right is violated...
330
00:28:03,049 --> 00:28:06,016
The voter shall be-entitled
to recast the ballot. I know.
331
00:28:07,176 --> 00:28:10,493
Alright, kids,
we're going to war.
332
00:28:10,601 --> 00:28:12,674
A map!
Somebody get me a map!
333
00:28:12,905 --> 00:28:16,833
There's one schmuck standing between us
and the White House. Find out who it is.
334
00:28:17,128 --> 00:28:18,503
We can't do that legally.
335
00:28:19,912 --> 00:28:20,774
Just find him.
336
00:28:26,345 --> 00:28:29,160
We were supposed
to my cytoplasm out of Jell-O today.
337
00:28:30,793 --> 00:28:33,448
What kinda kid would rather
sit in a crummy classroom...
338
00:28:33,448 --> 00:28:34,757
than be out here?
339
00:28:35,241 --> 00:28:38,557
What kind of father goes fishing
when he should be looking for a new job?
340
00:28:38,889 --> 00:28:41,353
The kind who would just like...
341
00:28:41,353 --> 00:28:45,128
to spend a little more time
with his daughter.
342
00:28:46,184 --> 00:28:46,915
That's who.
343
00:28:47,913 --> 00:28:49,571
- Fine.
- Fine.
344
00:28:52,744 --> 00:28:53,791
Anyway, I've been thinking.
345
00:28:54,281 --> 00:28:55,491
How refreshing!
346
00:28:57,417 --> 00:29:01,410
Jesus! You gotta quit being
such a smart ass all the time?
347
00:29:01,481 --> 00:29:04,328
And you've got to stop using Jesus
as a cuss word all the time!
348
00:29:04,745 --> 00:29:06,505
He's a billion people's Savior.
349
00:29:06,505 --> 00:29:08,512
Alright, fine, okay?
I get it.
350
00:29:09,545 --> 00:29:10,919
- Fine.
- Fine.
351
00:29:17,897 --> 00:29:21,065
I wish...
your mom could be here...
352
00:29:21,065 --> 00:29:23,520
to talk to you about
everything that's going on.
353
00:29:26,281 --> 00:29:27,590
I really do.
354
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,066
No, she... no, she can't.
355
00:29:34,184 --> 00:29:35,133
She's just, she can't, baby.
356
00:29:39,688 --> 00:29:40,135
Bud.
357
00:29:44,296 --> 00:29:46,752
Next Tuesday, is bring
your father to school day.
358
00:29:48,936 --> 00:29:51,358
- So?
- I want you to come.
359
00:29:54,633 --> 00:29:57,218
It's not gonna embarrass
you that I don't have a job?
360
00:29:57,672 --> 00:29:58,785
I don't care.
361
00:29:59,625 --> 00:30:00,802
I want you to come anyway.
362
00:30:06,376 --> 00:30:08,319
- Think you can remember?
- Of course.
363
00:30:10,089 --> 00:30:10,688
How?
364
00:30:11,432 --> 00:30:12,360
Well...
365
00:30:14,248 --> 00:30:15,742
I'll write it on my forehead.
366
00:30:25,129 --> 00:30:26,470
Can I go to school, now?
367
00:30:30,281 --> 00:30:33,063
Yes. Just one more cast.
368
00:30:43,593 --> 00:30:44,738
Why don't you go
start the truck.
369
00:30:59,528 --> 00:31:03,718
Try to get a two shot, alright?
Okay, come on!
370
00:31:04,008 --> 00:31:04,956
Earnest Johnson!
371
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,396
- Yes?
- Kate Madison.
372
00:31:08,168 --> 00:31:09,216
- Hi, there.
- Hi.
373
00:31:11,817 --> 00:31:14,151
Shit! You're the lady
from the news.
374
00:31:14,216 --> 00:31:16,420
I am, and I'd like
to ask you a few questions.
375
00:31:16,488 --> 00:31:18,757
You know, you're much prettier
than you are on the TV.
376
00:31:19,176 --> 00:31:20,040
Thanks. I would...
377
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,521
Don't get me wrong,
you're pretty on the TV too.
378
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,917
Just, we got an old set
that kinda "squirshes" you.
379
00:31:27,081 --> 00:31:27,844
Squishes everybody.
380
00:31:28,361 --> 00:31:30,313
I believe, Mr. Johnson.
I believe...
381
00:31:30,313 --> 00:31:31,873
You can call me Bud.
382
00:31:32,297 --> 00:31:35,625
Bud. I was hoping you
could tell me why those men...
383
00:31:35,625 --> 00:31:38,014
flew from Santa Fe,
to see you in the middle of the night.
384
00:31:45,256 --> 00:31:49,118
Well, actually, I kinda promised
to keep that a secret.
385
00:31:50,152 --> 00:31:52,574
You mean,
you're going to recast your vote.
386
00:31:54,408 --> 00:31:57,704
Well, shit, I guess that I guess
it ain't that much of a secret then.
387
00:31:58,505 --> 00:32:01,920
Now, listen, Bud,
you need to watch your language.
388
00:32:02,088 --> 00:32:03,168
- We're taping this for TV, okay?
- The language?
389
00:32:03,817 --> 00:32:06,664
Goddamnit, yes of course!
390
00:32:06,793 --> 00:32:11,975
The question now is, who you voted for
and are you going to vote the same way?
391
00:32:14,152 --> 00:32:15,908
Remind me again who's running?
392
00:32:16,809 --> 00:32:19,678
What you're saying is,
you're keeping an open mind?
393
00:32:20,649 --> 00:32:22,437
Yeah, that's...
394
00:32:22,921 --> 00:32:24,165
That's the kinda guy I am.
395
00:32:25,033 --> 00:32:25,981
You gotta be kidding me!
396
00:32:26,632 --> 00:32:28,574
This is OJ big. Bigger!
397
00:32:30,345 --> 00:32:31,327
I gotta call network!
398
00:32:32,648 --> 00:32:36,105
John,
let me break the story.
399
00:32:36,105 --> 00:32:37,763
I thought I was gonna die
in this shithole.
400
00:32:37,896 --> 00:32:40,384
You said that when the time was right,
you'd give me a chance. That's the time!
401
00:32:40,457 --> 00:32:41,569
We'll be back to a real market.
402
00:32:41,704 --> 00:32:45,384
The city! With elevators and Chinese
restaurants and crime and traffic.
403
00:32:45,384 --> 00:32:48,168
I got the tape
of Mrs. Zachary's prize winning sow.
404
00:32:48,168 --> 00:32:50,023
Screw Mrs. Zachary.
And screw the sow!
405
00:32:50,153 --> 00:32:51,135
You promised me.
406
00:32:51,944 --> 00:32:54,333
Get network on the phone.
Don't screw it up.
407
00:32:55,976 --> 00:32:57,983
- You won't regret it!
- Better not! Darlene!
408
00:33:08,968 --> 00:33:12,797
So... is your dad coming
to talk to our class?
409
00:33:14,472 --> 00:33:19,261
I don't know. Doesn't really leave
the house much since my mom left.
410
00:33:20,808 --> 00:33:21,823
Mine left too.
411
00:33:22,664 --> 00:33:25,512
She's pursuing
a singing career in Albuquerque.
412
00:33:27,145 --> 00:33:29,381
I'm going to move there
when she becomes a big star.
413
00:33:29,448 --> 00:33:31,172
And she's gonna take me
on tour and everything.
414
00:33:32,936 --> 00:33:34,660
She'll probably do
a concert in Austin.
415
00:33:36,137 --> 00:33:37,598
I could get you free tickets.
416
00:33:38,153 --> 00:33:40,608
Maybe.
Guess I could borrow my dad's car.
417
00:33:41,737 --> 00:33:45,217
I'll wait till he gets drunk.
Sometimes he passes out.
418
00:33:50,632 --> 00:33:52,127
Do you think
I could try your skateboard?
419
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:56,192
Okay.
420
00:34:03,017 --> 00:34:07,239
I'm the king of Curry County, John,
and I've been 15 years at this desk.
421
00:34:07,304 --> 00:34:10,371
I feel for you, Ted.
Don't make me call security.
422
00:34:19,208 --> 00:34:20,997
Holy crap!
423
00:34:21,928 --> 00:34:24,132
You, desk! Sit!
424
00:34:24,776 --> 00:34:26,664
People,
we go live in 30 seconds!
425
00:34:26,792 --> 00:34:28,614
From this point on,
the news counts!
426
00:34:28,681 --> 00:34:32,871
So excited,
I got my accent back. My god!
427
00:34:34,856 --> 00:34:35,783
And cue graphics!
428
00:34:36,713 --> 00:34:37,541
And cue music!
429
00:34:38,568 --> 00:34:40,772
And cue!
430
00:34:41,192 --> 00:34:46,342
Good evening. This is Madison, coming
to you from Curry County, New Mexico.
431
00:34:46,504 --> 00:34:49,800
Over the last 24 hours,
the American political process...
432
00:34:49,864 --> 00:34:53,508
has ground to a virtual standstill
as the world watches...
433
00:34:53,736 --> 00:34:58,373
waiting for the outcome of an election.
Today, I uncovered the identity...
434
00:34:58,472 --> 00:35:01,156
of the person the entire
world has been looking for.
435
00:35:01,384 --> 00:35:04,645
The one swing voter
who will decide the election.
436
00:35:04,905 --> 00:35:08,253
Those of you hoping to hear that
decision will be sorely disappointed.
437
00:35:08,456 --> 00:35:11,554
Because you are about to meet
a registered independent...
438
00:35:11,688 --> 00:35:14,371
who claims to be
keeping an open mind.
439
00:35:15,113 --> 00:35:17,698
Imagine,
on this man's shoulders...
440
00:35:17,928 --> 00:35:20,710
stands the future
of the free world.
441
00:35:21,064 --> 00:35:22,438
Just the kind of guy I am.
442
00:35:24,265 --> 00:35:28,389
Let it never again be said,
that a single vote counts for nothing.
443
00:35:37,992 --> 00:35:38,494
Bud!
444
00:35:39,304 --> 00:35:39,773
Bud!
445
00:35:40,872 --> 00:35:41,472
What?
446
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:43,902
There's some people outside.
447
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,289
Geez, you gotta stop
waking me up like this, okay?
448
00:35:48,776 --> 00:35:49,953
You're gonna kill me.
449
00:35:50,025 --> 00:35:52,228
There are some people outside!
450
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:54,338
People?
451
00:35:55,464 --> 00:35:56,293
God!
452
00:35:58,888 --> 00:36:00,775
No, not there! Out front!
453
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,895
Oh, God... What now?
454
00:36:07,016 --> 00:36:09,121
- Dad, hurry up!
- Yeah, I'm going, honey.
455
00:36:12,009 --> 00:36:13,437
There's a lot of people
out there.
456
00:36:13,736 --> 00:36:17,151
Okay, honey, let's see
what the fuss is all about.
457
00:36:21,608 --> 00:36:22,307
Is that him?
458
00:36:23,368 --> 00:36:24,034
Bud!
459
00:36:25,064 --> 00:36:26,493
Mr. Johnson,
any decisions yet?
460
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,342
- Holy shit!
- What do they want?
461
00:36:42,985 --> 00:36:43,878
I don't know.
462
00:36:47,816 --> 00:36:48,863
Go turn the TV on, baby.
463
00:36:57,448 --> 00:37:00,481
We are in the midst
of a historic moment.
464
00:37:00,616 --> 00:37:02,983
The swing voter
has finally been identified.
465
00:37:03,145 --> 00:37:06,243
We go live now to a trailer
in Texico, New Mexico.
466
00:37:06,633 --> 00:37:09,251
Earnest Johnson made
an appearance just moments ago.
467
00:37:09,544 --> 00:37:11,999
Apparently, overwhelmed
by the media presence.
468
00:37:12,648 --> 00:37:16,030
And Mr. Landry, exactly how long
have you known Earnest Johnson?
469
00:37:16,648 --> 00:37:19,430
Earnest Johnson?
Hey, Earnest!
470
00:37:20,425 --> 00:37:23,720
- You mean Bud?
- We all grew up together.
471
00:37:24,136 --> 00:37:26,120
How do you think he's
shouldering the responsibility...
472
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,487
of picking the next President
of the United States?
473
00:37:30,536 --> 00:37:33,318
Well, I'm sure that...
474
00:37:34,152 --> 00:37:37,764
Earnest is...
crapping his pants.
475
00:37:40,552 --> 00:37:43,176
He's a good guy.
He likes to treat them good.
476
00:37:43,176 --> 00:37:45,118
We used to light
the mesa back here on fire!
477
00:37:51,784 --> 00:37:53,028
It's all my fault, isn't it?
478
00:37:53,096 --> 00:37:55,235
No! No, no, no, baby, no.
479
00:37:55,784 --> 00:37:59,527
None of this would have happened
if I hadn't let you down.
480
00:38:00,745 --> 00:38:01,857
What are we gonna do?
481
00:38:02,728 --> 00:38:03,360
Well...
482
00:38:06,568 --> 00:38:07,844
I'm gonna back these people up.
483
00:38:14,056 --> 00:38:15,998
Holy shit!
484
00:38:17,544 --> 00:38:18,526
There's so many!
485
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,327
Ok, I'm just gonna go out there,
right? I'm gonna...
486
00:38:25,096 --> 00:38:29,090
I'm gonna walk out there and tell
those people it wasn't me who voted.
487
00:38:29,672 --> 00:38:30,882
No, you can't!
488
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:32,167
Why not?
489
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,625
You swore to that judge,
on a Bible and everything.
490
00:38:34,696 --> 00:38:36,835
What? That was the middle
of the night. That can't count!
491
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,444
You were under oath, Bud.
Voter fraud is a felony.
492
00:38:41,544 --> 00:38:43,878
And one more felony
and they take me away from you.
493
00:38:44,008 --> 00:38:45,917
You're right. Shit!
I am down to one!
494
00:38:57,384 --> 00:38:58,312
What do we do?
495
00:39:03,592 --> 00:39:06,789
We lie. We have to.
496
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:14,914
Okay, that's a good plan.
Just a little white lie is all this is.
497
00:39:14,984 --> 00:39:17,122
- Between us.
- Just between us.
498
00:39:17,704 --> 00:39:20,704
Who knows,
maybe this thing, all these...
499
00:39:21,864 --> 00:39:25,661
Maybe all these people,
they just go away.
500
00:40:01,224 --> 00:40:02,533
Stop! Stop!
501
00:40:42,952 --> 00:40:44,162
What the hell is this?
502
00:40:44,616 --> 00:40:45,990
The biggest space we could find.
503
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,112
How we gonna do this?
Build a campaign around one man?
504
00:40:51,112 --> 00:40:53,414
- I don't know how to do this.
- You're gonna leave it to me.
505
00:40:53,576 --> 00:40:56,227
We're gonna win him, Don!
We're gonna win this guy.
506
00:40:56,488 --> 00:40:58,600
We got the issues on our side!
507
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,296
- There you go!
- He's gonna love me!
508
00:41:00,296 --> 00:41:01,441
What's not to love?
509
00:41:05,352 --> 00:41:09,313
We're in trouble. I need you to dig up
everything you can on Earnest Johnson.
510
00:41:09,384 --> 00:41:10,791
Talk to his family, his friends.
511
00:41:10,791 --> 00:41:12,996
I want to know what he reads,
what television show he watches.
512
00:41:13,064 --> 00:41:17,341
His hobbies, his favorite foods,
his hopes, his dreams, everything.
513
00:41:17,864 --> 00:41:22,020
All we have to do is win
over one American mind!
514
00:41:22,696 --> 00:41:23,744
You know, I was just thinking,
Marty.
515
00:41:24,488 --> 00:41:26,528
I'd like to get to know
this Bud Johnson. Personally.
516
00:41:26,792 --> 00:41:27,720
Okay. Good.
517
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:29,927
Maybe take him out
for some ice cream.
518
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:34,272
Ice cream?
519
00:41:35,176 --> 00:41:36,769
What grown man
doesn't like ice cream?
520
00:41:40,424 --> 00:41:43,621
No higher education,
not much lower education.
521
00:41:43,912 --> 00:41:45,985
Divorced single father,
recently laid off.
522
00:41:46,055 --> 00:41:47,103
What's our first step?
523
00:41:47,272 --> 00:41:50,271
Put you in a room together. See if you
persuade him to come over to our side.
524
00:41:50,472 --> 00:41:56,069
I like it. Him and me in a room. Yes,
talking ideas, seeing what comes up.
525
00:41:56,168 --> 00:41:58,023
Great plan.
I'll get you some talking points.
526
00:41:58,023 --> 00:41:59,518
I'm good off the cuff already.
527
00:41:59,687 --> 00:42:04,328
Of course! We're just gonna get
an itty bitty think tank together.
528
00:42:04,328 --> 00:42:07,940
We'll run the data, see what you two
could possibly have in common.
529
00:42:08,712 --> 00:42:10,086
Your petition has been processed.
530
00:42:10,312 --> 00:42:14,600
And in accordance with New Mexico state
law, Chapter 1, Article 13, Section 11.
531
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,728
Could you do us a favor and back
these news people up a little bit?
532
00:42:18,728 --> 00:42:21,598
We could barely
sleep last night.
533
00:42:25,511 --> 00:42:28,424
Said voter Earnest Johnson,
is hereby authorized...
534
00:42:28,424 --> 00:42:30,333
to recast his vote 10 days
from today along official.
535
00:42:31,271 --> 00:42:33,799
And there's a fat guy there,
he keeps leaning on my truck...
536
00:42:33,799 --> 00:42:35,774
fixing his hair
in my side mirror.
537
00:42:40,967 --> 00:42:44,584
Said voter, Earnest Johnson,
is hereby authorized to recast his vote...
538
00:42:44,584 --> 00:42:47,912
10 days from today. Along official
documentary notification...
539
00:42:47,912 --> 00:42:49,919
to both state,
federal regulatory authorities.
540
00:42:50,408 --> 00:42:52,994
Bud, life's gonna be
a little different from now on.
541
00:42:53,416 --> 00:42:55,204
You'll need security
around the clock.
542
00:42:55,783 --> 00:42:56,383
For what?
543
00:42:56,808 --> 00:42:58,531
You're a household name.
544
00:42:58,855 --> 00:43:01,757
Every political nut job in the country
is gonna make their way down here.
545
00:43:01,895 --> 00:43:06,173
In 10 days, you gonna make the most
important decision in the free world.
546
00:43:06,248 --> 00:43:09,032
And it is our job to make sure
this thing comes off fair and square.
547
00:43:09,032 --> 00:43:11,879
So, if there's anything
that you think we need to know...
548
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:16,770
Like what?
549
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,429
Something
we may find out later.
550
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,080
Better now, than later.
551
00:43:26,024 --> 00:43:28,959
No, sir,
there's nothing to know.
552
00:43:32,936 --> 00:43:35,391
Molly! Molly! Molly!
553
00:43:35,816 --> 00:43:38,533
- I don't believe it. She's his daughter!
- Who's his daughter?
554
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,128
The Chairman of the Fed,
the girl that won the essay contest.
555
00:43:41,128 --> 00:43:43,168
Remember, I ran the story on her,
election day?
556
00:43:43,623 --> 00:43:46,438
This is perfect! The network wants
to do an interview with her daddy.
557
00:43:46,663 --> 00:43:48,520
I'm not going
to use this little girl!
558
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,942
I've told you this before.
I have integrity, like Paula Zahn.
559
00:43:51,016 --> 00:43:52,712
I met Paula Zahn.
560
00:43:52,712 --> 00:43:55,298
Paula Zahn eats
where my friend is a waiter, alright?
561
00:43:55,368 --> 00:43:57,823
I don't want to hurt
your feelings, you're no Paula Zahn.
562
00:43:57,896 --> 00:43:58,910
No Paula Zahn?
563
00:43:59,016 --> 00:44:01,416
I booked this story.
It was me.
564
00:44:01,416 --> 00:44:05,376
Yes, that's why everybody here
is trying to rip it out from under you.
565
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,989
You want a desk in New York,
you want a desk in Los Angeles?
566
00:44:09,095 --> 00:44:11,430
Forget everything you learned
in journalism school.
567
00:44:11,592 --> 00:44:16,294
This isn't new anymore. This isn't life.
This is bigger. This is television!
568
00:44:46,631 --> 00:44:49,384
The Johnsons have been virtually
besieged inside their trailer.
569
00:44:49,384 --> 00:44:52,166
But we're lucky to be joined
by their pizza delivery man.
570
00:44:52,328 --> 00:44:55,077
How would you characterize
Earnest Johnson's state of mind?
571
00:44:55,944 --> 00:44:58,115
Mostly I'd say, he was hungry.
572
00:44:58,216 --> 00:44:59,295
He was hungry.
573
00:45:00,231 --> 00:45:01,352
Well, there you have it.
574
00:45:01,352 --> 00:45:02,661
I ain't tipping him anymore.
575
00:45:02,919 --> 00:45:05,473
I ought to trim
Mrs. Hardy's elm.
576
00:45:06,152 --> 00:45:09,948
Looks like it's moving in our roof.
What do you think?
577
00:45:10,791 --> 00:45:13,247
Hard to tell.
What do you think?
578
00:45:14,664 --> 00:45:15,395
Definitely.
579
00:45:17,032 --> 00:45:19,585
Since has become the most Googled
town in the world...
580
00:45:19,816 --> 00:45:22,304
narrowly edging out in Jihad.
581
00:45:51,911 --> 00:45:53,089
Holy crap!
582
00:45:53,512 --> 00:45:54,722
- You Bud?
- Yeah!
583
00:45:54,855 --> 00:45:56,678
You're Richard Petty.
584
00:45:56,967 --> 00:45:57,731
You got it, man.
585
00:45:58,152 --> 00:46:00,356
Hold on. Honey!
It's the king!
586
00:46:00,647 --> 00:46:04,160
I got a friend down the road I want
you to meet. You wanna go for a ride?
587
00:46:07,335 --> 00:46:10,816
Yes!
Could my daughter come?
588
00:46:10,984 --> 00:46:14,180
In that case, maybe you'd better
drive. Precious cargo and all!
589
00:46:19,528 --> 00:46:22,113
Just a minute, Mr. Petty.
Hey, Chubby!
590
00:46:22,696 --> 00:46:26,241
Just because it ain't rolling, don't
make it furniture! Back out of here!
591
00:46:27,495 --> 00:46:28,772
Come on, baby! We gotta go!
592
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,010
You're Richard Petty!
593
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:41,280
Molly! Get a picture, honey.
594
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,371
If you told me two days ago
that I'd be driving your Dodge...
595
00:46:46,631 --> 00:46:47,809
- Did you get it?
- Yes.
596
00:46:48,072 --> 00:46:51,333
Get one more. Get it with my chin
out a little bit. Like that.
597
00:46:52,264 --> 00:46:53,125
Like a hero.
598
00:46:54,471 --> 00:46:55,748
I told you, you crazy!
599
00:46:56,039 --> 00:46:57,665
You ain't seen nothing yet.
600
00:47:24,775 --> 00:47:25,375
Bud!
601
00:47:26,503 --> 00:47:28,096
This is the President's plane.
602
00:47:30,568 --> 00:47:34,496
Hello, you be Molly. I'm Mr. Fox,
I work with the President.
603
00:47:34,887 --> 00:47:36,742
Hi.
Hi. Bud, Martin Fox.
604
00:47:37,511 --> 00:47:39,486
- Hello.
- How are you? Come in.
605
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,218
Take your hat off please.
Your hat.
606
00:47:41,576 --> 00:47:43,845
So, this is the Johnson family.
607
00:47:44,391 --> 00:47:45,984
Welcome to Air Force One.
Hi, Molly.
608
00:47:46,184 --> 00:47:47,645
- Thanks for having us, sir.
- It's a pleasure.
609
00:47:47,848 --> 00:47:49,473
- Mr. President.
- Huh?
610
00:47:50,247 --> 00:47:51,262
Call him Mr. President.
611
00:47:53,223 --> 00:47:54,946
It's an honor, Mr. President.
612
00:47:55,112 --> 00:47:57,086
It's an honor to meet you, Bud.
May I call you Bud?
613
00:47:57,192 --> 00:47:59,166
Yes, Mr. President.
614
00:47:59,591 --> 00:48:00,452
Come on in, come on.
615
00:48:02,696 --> 00:48:03,394
God, this...
616
00:48:04,551 --> 00:48:07,235
This place
is it's really something!
617
00:48:09,032 --> 00:48:10,657
It's my little home in the sky.
618
00:48:11,335 --> 00:48:14,947
It's kinda,
like a trailer with wings.
619
00:48:15,815 --> 00:48:16,960
Fine analogy, Bud.
620
00:48:17,416 --> 00:48:20,263
Molly, I saw your speech
on TV the other night.
621
00:48:20,455 --> 00:48:21,404
Very impressive!
622
00:48:22,983 --> 00:48:25,927
- Say thank you, baby.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
623
00:48:25,927 --> 00:48:27,683
- You must be a very proud father.
- Yes, sir.
624
00:48:29,351 --> 00:48:33,126
God, I'm sorry.
Mr. President.
625
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,832
You can see why she's definitely
the brains of our operation.
626
00:48:37,832 --> 00:48:40,166
I know what you mean.
We all need a Molly.
627
00:48:40,583 --> 00:48:42,339
Marty here, is my Molly.
628
00:48:42,599 --> 00:48:46,791
That's right. Molly,
I bet a smart kid like you...
629
00:48:46,791 --> 00:48:48,417
would love to see the war room.
630
00:48:49,319 --> 00:48:50,343
No, thanks.
631
00:48:50,343 --> 00:48:53,889
Why don't we have a peek and then your
dad and the President can have a talk.
632
00:48:53,959 --> 00:48:56,807
Go on, Honey.
Daddy has to talk to the President.
633
00:49:00,071 --> 00:49:01,380
She's a firecracker!
634
00:49:01,447 --> 00:49:04,229
Yes, sir, she's the whole deal!
635
00:49:05,608 --> 00:49:07,974
I wouldn't mind seeing
the war room, Mr. President.
636
00:49:08,648 --> 00:49:12,226
I'll show it to you later.
And please, call me Andy.
637
00:49:13,544 --> 00:49:14,437
- Andy?
- Yeah.
638
00:49:16,743 --> 00:49:19,271
Are you sure,
that-that other guy...
639
00:49:19,271 --> 00:49:21,726
I know, things can get
a little formal around here.
640
00:49:21,992 --> 00:49:24,359
Commander in Chief, running
the country and all that. Please.
641
00:49:24,839 --> 00:49:27,327
I am just an ordinary man,
like you...
642
00:49:27,688 --> 00:49:29,378
The kinda guy you can sit down
and have a beer with.
643
00:49:30,407 --> 00:49:31,684
Would you like a beer, Bud?
644
00:49:35,335 --> 00:49:35,902
A beer?
645
00:49:39,175 --> 00:49:39,841
No shit?
646
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:41,250
No shit.
647
00:49:42,983 --> 00:49:43,932
Well, then...
648
00:49:45,224 --> 00:49:47,842
- Yes. Hell, yeah, Andy.
- Okay!
649
00:49:48,231 --> 00:49:50,086
David, would you get us
a couple of beers, please?
650
00:49:50,247 --> 00:49:52,287
- Thank you very much.
- So...
651
00:49:52,839 --> 00:49:55,556
you're gonna have some
story to tell your friends.
652
00:49:58,151 --> 00:50:02,177
I read about you in the paper.
They say you've never lost an election.
653
00:50:02,695 --> 00:50:06,078
That's right. You can learn
a lot from reading the newspaper.
654
00:50:06,856 --> 00:50:10,750
They also said that you don't
believe in anything anymore.
655
00:50:11,592 --> 00:50:13,347
Even if it meant
selling your mother's soul.
656
00:50:13,416 --> 00:50:16,863
No, see, no, see that's libelous,
Because my mother is a wonderful...
657
00:50:17,031 --> 00:50:20,031
wonderful, wonderful woman.
658
00:50:33,063 --> 00:50:34,754
If you met my mother,
you'd understand.
659
00:50:36,775 --> 00:50:37,920
You a football fan, Bud?
660
00:50:39,079 --> 00:50:42,462
Well, I'm an American, aren't I?
661
00:50:44,263 --> 00:50:46,205
I played a little in high school.
662
00:50:46,695 --> 00:50:47,972
Did you now? What position?
663
00:50:48,103 --> 00:50:49,052
I was quarterback.
664
00:50:49,479 --> 00:50:53,986
I always thought football was
a strategic game. A lot like diplomacy.
665
00:50:54,055 --> 00:50:57,576
You got your offense, your defense,
the President is like your quarterback...
666
00:50:57,576 --> 00:50:58,982
and the American voters...
667
00:50:59,751 --> 00:51:02,534
Well... they're like the coach.
668
00:51:04,391 --> 00:51:05,733
Never thought of it that way.
669
00:51:05,799 --> 00:51:07,336
Now the coach's job
is to make sure...
670
00:51:07,336 --> 00:51:11,230
that the right man has
the football at the critical time.
671
00:51:11,751 --> 00:51:13,638
I know exactly what you mean,
Andy.
672
00:51:14,503 --> 00:51:15,202
Do you?
673
00:51:17,927 --> 00:51:18,789
Maybe not.
674
00:51:22,439 --> 00:51:23,552
Bring in the football, please.
675
00:51:26,792 --> 00:51:27,239
Bud.
676
00:51:29,864 --> 00:51:30,878
You wanna hold the football?
677
00:51:32,519 --> 00:51:33,599
There's a football in there?
678
00:51:38,695 --> 00:51:40,637
That case holds
the launch codes...
679
00:51:41,159 --> 00:51:42,915
to America's nuclear arsenal.
680
00:51:44,327 --> 00:51:45,701
That's what
this election's all about.
681
00:51:46,919 --> 00:51:51,741
Launch codes like...
missiles and shit?
682
00:51:51,815 --> 00:51:55,110
I want you to pretend
that America is a team...
683
00:51:56,007 --> 00:51:58,243
- and you're the coach.
- Okay.
684
00:51:58,312 --> 00:52:01,863
Let's say it's the 4th quarter. We've
got possession, but we're down by five.
685
00:52:01,863 --> 00:52:04,199
North Korea has us pinned
in our own fifteenth line...
686
00:52:04,199 --> 00:52:08,934
with one second on the dooms day clock.
What are you doing to do?
687
00:52:09,095 --> 00:52:13,951
Okay, you go long. The only thing
standing between victory and defeat...
688
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,545
is a successful Hail Mary.
One play.
689
00:52:17,287 --> 00:52:18,781
Who are you
gonna give the ball to, Bud?
690
00:52:18,855 --> 00:52:22,055
Do you pin your hopes on some
liberal second string quarterback...
691
00:52:22,055 --> 00:52:25,154
who hasn't had five minutes
in the big show? Of course you don't.
692
00:52:27,143 --> 00:52:28,420
You do the smart thing.
693
00:52:29,031 --> 00:52:32,487
The only thing. You go
with your strongest arm, the man...
694
00:52:32,487 --> 00:52:34,342
who's carried you through the season,
who's never let you down.
695
00:52:40,263 --> 00:52:42,630
Bud, America's counting on you.
696
00:52:43,175 --> 00:52:46,656
Yes, sir.
I'm not gonna let them down.
697
00:52:47,176 --> 00:52:48,004
But, here.
698
00:52:50,791 --> 00:52:53,158
Wouldn't want to drop
the old football.
699
00:52:53,991 --> 00:52:55,301
Blow up France or something.
700
00:52:56,647 --> 00:52:57,351
You couldn't.
701
00:52:57,351 --> 00:53:01,791
There's a whole bunch of secret
codes and these special little keys.
702
00:53:02,311 --> 00:53:02,943
Here's to you!
703
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,418
Look at all... Look at all
this stuff they give us, Molly.
704
00:53:09,031 --> 00:53:12,326
They give us the same shampoo
that the President uses.
705
00:53:12,711 --> 00:53:13,638
Great.
706
00:53:19,047 --> 00:53:21,087
So, what did you guys talk about?
707
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,432
- Stuff.
- What stuff?
708
00:53:26,695 --> 00:53:27,677
You know...
709
00:53:29,383 --> 00:53:30,430
grown up stuff.
710
00:53:30,759 --> 00:53:31,708
Like?
711
00:53:32,839 --> 00:53:33,952
Like...
712
00:53:38,343 --> 00:53:38,943
Bud!
713
00:53:40,679 --> 00:53:41,824
What stuff?
714
00:53:41,895 --> 00:53:44,895
Like grown up stuff.
You know, coaching. Football.
715
00:53:45,447 --> 00:53:47,138
Geothermal nuclear war.
716
00:53:49,607 --> 00:53:51,909
Andy's, a great... great guy.
717
00:53:51,975 --> 00:53:55,358
He's not Andy.
He's the President of the United States.
718
00:53:55,495 --> 00:53:56,607
And he just wants your vote.
719
00:53:57,351 --> 00:53:59,773
And gee, guess what?
He's gonna get it.
720
00:53:59,879 --> 00:54:01,440
It's not even yours to give!
721
00:54:03,015 --> 00:54:03,647
You're gonna...
722
00:54:06,439 --> 00:54:07,781
ruin everything.
723
00:54:08,967 --> 00:54:11,651
Andy, the President,
invited me to watch the game...
724
00:54:11,815 --> 00:54:13,383
- with him on Monday night.
- That's a bribe!
725
00:54:13,383 --> 00:54:15,325
That's not a bribe.
726
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:16,479
- Is too.
- It is not.
727
00:54:16,551 --> 00:54:17,729
- Is too.
- It is not.
728
00:54:17,799 --> 00:54:20,068
- Is too!
- Is not! What it is, "too"?
729
00:54:21,383 --> 00:54:23,335
- What the hell do you know?
- More than you.
730
00:54:23,335 --> 00:54:24,392
- You do not.
- Do too.
731
00:54:24,392 --> 00:54:26,082
- You do not.
- Do too.
732
00:54:29,831 --> 00:54:31,358
- Fine.
- Fine.
733
00:54:37,255 --> 00:54:39,491
Did you smell
all the leather on that plane?
734
00:54:45,447 --> 00:54:47,935
If I made you feel second best
735
00:54:49,767 --> 00:54:51,970
I'm sorry I was blind
736
00:54:52,839 --> 00:54:54,662
No, baby, leave it, leave it.
That's Willie.
737
00:54:56,839 --> 00:54:59,260
You were always on my mind
738
00:55:02,887 --> 00:55:03,975
Hi, I'm Willie Nelson.
739
00:55:03,975 --> 00:55:06,975
And when I'm not performing,
I'm usually getting involved.
740
00:55:07,367 --> 00:55:10,334
Hey, Bud, if you're out there
and you're watching...
741
00:55:10,727 --> 00:55:12,101
He's talking to us!
742
00:55:12,167 --> 00:55:15,880
There's a special dinner,
especially for you in your honor...
743
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:21,313
hosted by my good friend and
Presidential candidate Donald Greenleaf.
744
00:55:21,543 --> 00:55:23,844
- I'll see you here tonight.
- I'll do it, Willie!
745
00:55:26,727 --> 00:55:28,516
This is really getting weird.
746
00:55:55,399 --> 00:55:56,871
Democrat or a Republican?
747
00:55:56,871 --> 00:56:00,166
I'm Art Crumb,
Donald Greenleaf's campaign manager.
748
00:56:00,423 --> 00:56:02,146
- Nice to meet you.
- Same here.
749
00:56:02,503 --> 00:56:07,238
You must be Molly. Quite an essay.
You have a future in politics one day.
750
00:56:07,559 --> 00:56:09,315
You might too. One day.
751
00:56:12,199 --> 00:56:12,897
Shall we go in?
752
00:56:15,687 --> 00:56:17,574
Not too hard to be nice,
come on.
753
00:56:18,343 --> 00:56:20,066
Party. Party!
754
00:56:20,935 --> 00:56:23,586
Right this way...
make yourselves at home.
755
00:56:26,151 --> 00:56:26,598
Hello.
756
00:56:27,047 --> 00:56:29,186
As you can see,
we've got a lovely buffet.
757
00:56:29,351 --> 00:56:30,627
Would you like a bud, Bud?
758
00:56:32,423 --> 00:56:33,023
Sure.
759
00:56:34,215 --> 00:56:38,143
Look at that.
You got chipped meat on toast.
760
00:56:38,950 --> 00:56:40,292
My momma used
to make that for me.
761
00:56:40,967 --> 00:56:42,631
- No kidding?
- Yes.
762
00:56:42,631 --> 00:56:44,257
There's all you can eat.
763
00:56:44,775 --> 00:56:45,757
It's all in your honor.
764
00:56:46,119 --> 00:56:48,607
And there's all the Willie Nelson
you can listen to.
765
00:56:48,871 --> 00:56:50,594
I understand
you're an aficionado.
766
00:56:50,791 --> 00:56:54,435
Yes, sir, I was in an all Willie
tribute band for about five years.
767
00:56:54,727 --> 00:56:56,188
Called ourselves
The Half Nelsons.
768
00:56:57,063 --> 00:56:58,078
Only his songs?
769
00:56:58,375 --> 00:57:01,092
No other request.
But you know, I got my own stuff.
770
00:57:02,279 --> 00:57:04,418
So, why don't you guys
do one of your songs tonight?
771
00:57:06,759 --> 00:57:10,982
I would but my rhythm
section's incarcerated.
772
00:57:11,783 --> 00:57:13,212
We've pulled a few strings.
773
00:57:13,415 --> 00:57:16,167
- Hey, Bud! Bud!
- Hey, boys!
774
00:57:16,167 --> 00:57:16,963
Come on up!
775
00:57:17,958 --> 00:57:18,941
They paying us?
776
00:57:19,015 --> 00:57:22,462
You really did, you got them out.
Thank you. Pull strings.
777
00:57:22,695 --> 00:57:27,485
Bud! Buddy, Buddy!
Buddy, look at me!
778
00:57:28,071 --> 00:57:32,293
Damn, Hank, you look good.
Just like prom.
779
00:57:33,766 --> 00:57:39,396
Thank you. Thank you, amigo.
This is the best day of my life.
780
00:57:43,270 --> 00:57:45,823
There's someone very
special I'd like you to meet.
781
00:57:47,271 --> 00:57:48,961
Mr. Johnson!
782
00:57:54,151 --> 00:57:55,580
Donald Greenleaf.
783
00:57:55,783 --> 00:57:56,547
Too tight.
784
00:58:04,199 --> 00:58:06,403
Hell of a party you got here,
Mr. Greenleaf.
785
00:58:06,471 --> 00:58:10,148
Yes, sir. We democrats
are one hell of a party.
786
00:58:11,431 --> 00:58:12,478
Call me Don.
787
00:58:15,335 --> 00:58:16,262
Okay, Don.
788
00:58:17,799 --> 00:58:18,747
The stage awaits.
789
00:58:22,919 --> 00:58:24,196
Well, he said so, right?
790
00:58:50,407 --> 00:58:52,895
Pontiac, Pontiac
791
00:58:53,094 --> 00:58:55,877
Out there in my backyard.
792
00:58:55,974 --> 00:59:00,252
I'm gonna fix it up, paint it red
gonna make that engine go
793
00:59:04,839 --> 00:59:07,228
Chevrolet, Chevrolet
794
00:59:07,431 --> 00:59:09,919
Chevy year that running
Past fly, this and that
795
00:59:10,311 --> 00:59:15,396
Gonna make that engine go
You ready?
796
00:59:17,702 --> 00:59:21,979
They're all in my backyard
Them old cars
797
00:59:22,983 --> 00:59:25,095
I love everyone of them
798
00:59:25,095 --> 00:59:27,484
Molly?
You remember me?
799
00:59:28,679 --> 00:59:29,856
Hi, Ms. Madison.
800
00:59:31,303 --> 00:59:33,125
Don't worry,
I didn't bring a camera.
801
00:59:35,111 --> 00:59:38,111
I'm gonna get one running yet.
802
00:59:40,038 --> 00:59:44,064
All this craziness.
I don't know how you're doing it.
803
00:59:48,615 --> 00:59:51,964
If you ever want to talk,
you call me anytime, okay?
804
00:59:52,614 --> 00:59:55,364
I'm gonna give you my card.
There you go.
805
00:59:58,599 --> 01:00:00,508
You want an interview
with Bud, right?
806
01:00:01,927 --> 01:00:03,171
I'd like him to think about it.
807
01:00:07,207 --> 01:00:07,873
Okay.
808
01:00:08,423 --> 01:00:11,140
I'll get one running yet
809
01:00:14,375 --> 01:00:16,317
I'll get one running yet
810
01:00:19,559 --> 01:00:21,795
I'll get one running yet
811
01:00:29,127 --> 01:00:31,974
I'll get one running yet
812
01:00:35,143 --> 01:00:37,347
I'll get one running yet
813
01:00:47,942 --> 01:00:49,502
Bud! You're the man!
814
01:00:53,766 --> 01:00:56,549
Well... I like you, Bud.
815
01:00:56,967 --> 01:01:00,196
You seem to be a real
genuine sort of guy.
816
01:01:00,263 --> 01:01:01,059
Thanks, Don.
817
01:01:01,319 --> 01:01:03,708
Tell me about yourself.
You got any hobbies?
818
01:01:04,455 --> 01:01:05,349
Just...
819
01:01:06,823 --> 01:01:08,132
just fishing.
820
01:01:11,398 --> 01:01:12,708
You're a fellow angler!
821
01:01:14,022 --> 01:01:15,364
What kind of rod do you use?
822
01:01:15,591 --> 01:01:20,063
Well, I use a six and a half foot
graphite Johnny Morris signature series.
823
01:01:21,063 --> 01:01:21,532
Heavy?
824
01:01:22,758 --> 01:01:23,587
Medium heavy.
825
01:01:24,422 --> 01:01:27,008
Bait catching reel,
twelve pound test.
826
01:01:28,807 --> 01:01:29,538
Don't tell me.
827
01:01:30,215 --> 01:01:33,695
Seven inch power grub,
purple shaky worm.
828
01:01:35,463 --> 01:01:39,260
Yes, sir! Damn, he, he,
you know your equipment!
829
01:01:39,463 --> 01:01:41,186
I figured you for a bass man.
830
01:01:41,415 --> 01:01:42,396
Well, I...
831
01:01:42,566 --> 01:01:44,868
try to take Molly out
as much as I can.
832
01:01:45,031 --> 01:01:47,682
We caught a two dinner stripe
on the Pecos just the other day.
833
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:50,175
I'm sorry to hear that, Bud.
834
01:01:51,239 --> 01:01:51,871
Why?
835
01:01:52,166 --> 01:01:56,422
There's a bill in the House
targeting the Pecos River for...
836
01:01:57,383 --> 01:01:58,397
reallocation.
837
01:02:01,543 --> 01:02:02,721
You lost me there.
838
01:02:03,303 --> 01:02:05,604
That's where a big
corporation builds a dam.
839
01:02:06,022 --> 01:02:09,251
Limits the flow of water, the fish
can't get to their spawning grounds...
840
01:02:09,702 --> 01:02:11,971
eventually the whole
population dies off.
841
01:02:14,054 --> 01:02:18,430
That sucks, because I've been
fishing there my whole life.
842
01:02:18,759 --> 01:02:21,926
You'd better look for another river,
because President Boone has received...
843
01:02:21,926 --> 01:02:25,058
ten million dollars in contributions
from the energy company...
844
01:02:25,222 --> 01:02:27,459
and he's got to pay
them back somehow.
845
01:02:28,327 --> 01:02:32,637
Come on, now. Come on,
Andy wouldn't do that.
846
01:02:33,063 --> 01:02:35,877
He already did, Bud.
He already did.
847
01:02:38,055 --> 01:02:39,745
Okay. Can't you do something?
848
01:02:40,103 --> 01:02:41,510
If I'm elected President.
849
01:02:51,590 --> 01:02:52,059
What?
850
01:02:52,583 --> 01:02:54,917
No, tell me
exactly what was said.
851
01:02:56,711 --> 01:03:00,901
It's my commitment to protect
the wild places in this country...
852
01:03:01,255 --> 01:03:02,596
for future generations.
853
01:03:03,206 --> 01:03:04,930
And I'm not going
to stop there, Bud.
854
01:03:05,863 --> 01:03:08,351
With your help,
my administration...
855
01:03:08,551 --> 01:03:10,973
will be a leader
in environmental protections.
856
01:03:28,039 --> 01:03:29,216
My fellow Americans...
857
01:03:29,734 --> 01:03:34,655
I give you, the Pecos River
National Wildlife Preserve!
858
01:03:48,326 --> 01:03:51,872
And what can only be characterized
as a complete policy reversal...
859
01:03:51,974 --> 01:03:55,455
the President has surely
alienated his corporate donors...
860
01:03:55,527 --> 01:03:58,177
by adopting
a pro-environment stance.
861
01:03:58,567 --> 01:04:00,391
Bud and Molly Johnson
were on hand today...
862
01:04:00,391 --> 01:04:01,984
We are the environmental party!
863
01:04:03,271 --> 01:04:05,158
Those bastards
stole our platform.
864
01:04:05,927 --> 01:04:08,998
Put the PR people on standby.
865
01:04:08,998 --> 01:04:11,846
- You want Spiegelman Fischer?
- Too high brow.
866
01:04:12,134 --> 01:04:14,556
- What about those iPod guys?
- No, Larry, too urban.
867
01:04:16,647 --> 01:04:18,654
Get the guys
who do those Miller Lite spots.
868
01:04:18,727 --> 01:04:20,832
The ones with those girls
wrestling in the fountain.
869
01:04:21,190 --> 01:04:22,401
I don't know, Mr. Crumb.
870
01:04:22,471 --> 01:04:24,893
I like the narrator's voice.
His cadence.
871
01:04:26,278 --> 01:04:27,042
Just call them.
872
01:04:27,367 --> 01:04:30,726
Galena hates those ads, Artie,
she says they send the wrong message.
873
01:04:30,726 --> 01:04:33,574
Your wife's not our target demographic,
that son of a bitch is.
874
01:04:36,166 --> 01:04:36,994
Great.
875
01:04:38,791 --> 01:04:40,798
He's got the Secret Service
running flight patterns!
876
01:04:46,982 --> 01:04:51,325
All we need is an issue
that matters to this guy.
877
01:04:51,559 --> 01:04:53,347
One issue, one man...
878
01:04:55,815 --> 01:04:56,513
one vote.
879
01:05:00,646 --> 01:05:01,694
Boy.
880
01:05:06,534 --> 01:05:07,330
I already own it.
881
01:05:08,102 --> 01:05:10,404
Alright, I'm gonna buy a hotel.
882
01:05:17,318 --> 01:05:20,515
Hi, there.
I've got a delivery for Bud Johnson.
883
01:05:21,190 --> 01:05:21,789
From who?
884
01:05:23,430 --> 01:05:24,291
From everyone.
885
01:05:46,566 --> 01:05:48,955
Tell me,
what drives Bud Johnson?
886
01:05:52,006 --> 01:05:55,355
Right now,
an '89 Chevy Silverado.
887
01:05:56,839 --> 01:06:00,100
You don't have to lift that up.
If you leave it, it's probably better.
888
01:06:00,166 --> 01:06:02,982
- This thing is getting away from you.
- I'm doing the best I can.
889
01:06:02,982 --> 01:06:06,151
Do better! I thought you wanted
to get out of this shithole town!
890
01:06:06,151 --> 01:06:07,558
I want to get out the facts!
891
01:06:10,087 --> 01:06:12,258
You hear that? The clicking.
892
01:06:12,806 --> 01:06:14,116
Click, click.
893
01:06:14,854 --> 01:06:18,629
The sound of a million remote controls
changing the channel on your ass.
894
01:06:18,822 --> 01:06:20,677
Click equals death!
895
01:06:21,062 --> 01:06:24,166
You got to get people a reason to watch.
This is the prime time news.
896
01:06:24,166 --> 01:06:26,174
The key word, being new!
897
01:06:27,015 --> 01:06:30,014
Find me something.
You just got taken down by Mary Hart!
898
01:06:30,854 --> 01:06:35,750
Bud, in looking at it, is there
any issue in particular that...
899
01:06:35,750 --> 01:06:37,245
has touched you personally?
900
01:06:38,566 --> 01:06:42,047
Yeah, yeah, insourcing.
901
01:06:42,534 --> 01:06:44,127
You mean, outsourcing.
902
01:06:44,295 --> 01:06:46,237
No, I mean in.
903
01:06:46,694 --> 01:06:48,646
- Can you elaborate?
- Yeah, well...
904
01:06:48,646 --> 01:06:52,541
where I used to work, there's a bunch
of guys I know, they got laid off.
905
01:06:53,446 --> 01:06:57,510
Instead of sending our jobs,
losing our jobs to Mexico...
906
01:06:57,510 --> 01:06:59,932
they're bringing
in Mexicans to take our jobs.
907
01:07:02,118 --> 01:07:03,263
And we're out.
908
01:07:03,910 --> 01:07:07,078
Wait a minute, could I say that again?
I don't think that came out right.
909
01:07:07,078 --> 01:07:08,289
That came out great.
910
01:07:09,318 --> 01:07:10,812
That came out very well,
Mr. Johnson.
911
01:07:12,039 --> 01:07:14,144
Very authentic.
Central casting?
912
01:07:14,566 --> 01:07:15,613
Border patrol?
913
01:07:17,446 --> 01:07:19,780
So, they're actual
undocumented workers?
914
01:07:20,454 --> 01:07:22,494
We prefer undocumented actors.
915
01:07:24,551 --> 01:07:26,885
Alright, rehearsal's up,
back it into one please!
916
01:07:32,551 --> 01:07:35,071
But we courted
the Pro-Immigrant movement.
917
01:07:35,206 --> 01:07:39,101
Inclusiveness is the foundation
of our party. It's our base!
918
01:07:39,174 --> 01:07:42,490
We no longer have a base.
Bud Johnson's our base.
919
01:07:42,695 --> 01:07:44,898
I don't even recognize
myself anymore.
920
01:07:45,702 --> 01:07:47,611
And what about...
Rainbow House?
921
01:07:47,814 --> 01:07:50,945
Screw!
This guy cares about immigration.
922
01:07:51,302 --> 01:07:54,335
You wanna win? Go out there and rip
the Statue of Liberty a new one!
923
01:07:55,110 --> 01:07:56,386
And action!
924
01:07:56,999 --> 01:08:00,550
Bud, in the last four years,
President Boone...
925
01:08:00,550 --> 01:08:04,478
has allowed millions of illegal
aliens to cross the border...
926
01:08:04,550 --> 01:08:08,412
Flooding cities like Los Angeles,
New York and Texico.
927
01:08:08,550 --> 01:08:12,774
With your help, Bud, my administration
will mend our broken borders...
928
01:08:12,774 --> 01:08:14,628
and stop insourcing.
929
01:08:14,982 --> 01:08:17,830
A vote for Greenleaf
is a vote for America...
930
01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:21,278
An America
where Americans come first.
931
01:08:21,414 --> 01:08:25,309
This land is our land, Bud.
Help me keep it that way.
932
01:08:27,654 --> 01:08:31,299
Dear Tommy, I was very moved
by the letter from your 6th grade class.
933
01:08:31,719 --> 01:08:34,053
Global warming
is a serious issue...
934
01:08:34,246 --> 01:08:37,734
and I promise to make it a top priority
in my discussions with the candidates.
935
01:08:37,734 --> 01:08:40,384
"Dear Mrs. Anderson,
thank you for your letter.
936
01:08:40,646 --> 01:08:44,903
I am doing everything I can to press
the candidates about health insurance."
937
01:08:44,903 --> 01:08:48,219
"Dear Mr. Olsen, I sympathize
with your fears about job security.
938
01:08:48,293 --> 01:08:50,814
I promise you,
I will not ignore the issues...
939
01:08:50,886 --> 01:08:54,147
Education, veterans,
the economy...
940
01:08:54,535 --> 01:08:56,771
health care, the environment.
941
01:08:57,798 --> 01:09:01,573
I am working tirelessly.
I'm doing everything I can.
942
01:09:01,927 --> 01:09:05,636
Sincerely,
Earnest Bud Johnson."
943
01:09:34,886 --> 01:09:35,387
Now!
944
01:09:37,510 --> 01:09:37,979
Now!
945
01:09:38,982 --> 01:09:40,226
Oh, my God! Don!
946
01:09:40,583 --> 01:09:41,957
The goose is down!
947
01:09:43,622 --> 01:09:44,549
How many fingers?
948
01:09:46,150 --> 01:09:48,833
America wants to know
what it's like to be Bud Johnson.
949
01:09:50,214 --> 01:09:51,294
It doesn't suck.
950
01:09:51,718 --> 01:09:52,514
Come on!
951
01:09:52,678 --> 01:09:55,645
I've heard you've received
marriage proposals in the mail, true?
952
01:09:55,878 --> 01:10:00,156
Yeah, you can tell
that Miss September...
953
01:10:00,966 --> 01:10:04,446
that
I'm weighing my options.
954
01:10:04,646 --> 01:10:05,890
Hurry up, Bud!
955
01:10:06,086 --> 01:10:08,835
People Magazine named you
the Sexiest Man of the Year.
956
01:10:09,158 --> 01:10:12,125
Yeah? Well, what can I say?
957
01:10:13,382 --> 01:10:14,658
Guilty as charged!
958
01:10:16,518 --> 01:10:17,216
These people!
959
01:10:17,286 --> 01:10:20,384
Molly, what do you think of your Dad?
What do you think?
960
01:10:31,046 --> 01:10:36,033
Go ahead, go on. Stick your head up
with that little camera. You turd!
961
01:10:39,014 --> 01:10:41,119
Bud... Bud!
962
01:10:41,510 --> 01:10:43,397
- Freeze!
- Stop.
963
01:10:44,294 --> 01:10:44,894
Stop.
964
01:10:46,566 --> 01:10:47,068
Stop!
965
01:10:48,454 --> 01:10:52,731
Come on, Molly? It's just chocolate.
From the gun people.
966
01:10:53,286 --> 01:10:55,229
- I fixed you bacon and eggs.
- You did?
967
01:10:55,910 --> 01:10:56,614
That's nice!
968
01:10:56,614 --> 01:10:59,517
- I want you to look nice.
- What's the occasion?
969
01:11:00,038 --> 01:11:01,696
There's someone
I think you should talk to.
970
01:11:02,214 --> 01:11:02,683
Sit.
971
01:11:04,166 --> 01:11:07,711
She's different than all the others.
I think her heart's in the right place.
972
01:11:08,006 --> 01:11:10,723
I want you to try not to say
anything embarrassing, okay?
973
01:11:11,814 --> 01:11:13,472
- To who?
- Ms. Madison.
974
01:11:15,238 --> 01:11:17,343
- The TV woman?
- She's outside.
975
01:11:18,214 --> 01:11:20,353
- She's outside?
- Yes. In the kitchen.
976
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,267
- She's in our kitchen?
- Yes.
977
01:11:24,678 --> 01:11:26,532
Just try and be normal.
978
01:11:28,070 --> 01:11:29,019
Do I smell?
979
01:11:29,767 --> 01:11:34,622
Then, give me the Old Spice.
God darn it! I was just having some fun!
980
01:11:41,094 --> 01:11:42,752
Molly, these eggs are amazing.
981
01:11:43,654 --> 01:11:45,694
Yes, they sure are.
982
01:11:46,598 --> 01:11:47,230
Thanks.
983
01:11:52,294 --> 01:11:53,090
Well...
984
01:11:54,534 --> 01:11:56,639
I like this new look on you.
985
01:11:56,902 --> 01:11:59,553
It's good, isn't it?
Professional.
986
01:11:59,878 --> 01:12:02,628
Yeah, its damn good.
987
01:12:04,006 --> 01:12:08,261
Anyway, Bud, I was thinking about
interviewing you over the next days.
988
01:12:08,710 --> 01:12:10,565
Get to know you
and your thoughts.
989
01:12:11,622 --> 01:12:14,786
Think people really care
about my thoughts?
990
01:12:14,886 --> 01:12:17,308
I really do considering
the choice you're about to make.
991
01:12:20,614 --> 01:12:22,021
Did you say
you went to Texico High?
992
01:12:22,021 --> 01:12:24,891
She did.
Only her name was Morales.
993
01:12:25,574 --> 01:12:26,337
Morales?
994
01:12:29,030 --> 01:12:34,627
You're kidding.
One of Bobby Morales little sisters?
995
01:12:34,694 --> 01:12:36,385
Yeah, that's me.
996
01:12:37,158 --> 01:12:38,369
Small world!
997
01:12:38,566 --> 01:12:41,861
Small town.
Then, Bud, are you ready?
998
01:12:42,727 --> 01:12:43,425
It's a good time?
999
01:12:44,709 --> 01:12:46,171
Yeah, go ahead, shoot.
1000
01:12:59,942 --> 01:13:00,640
Thanks, Bud.
1001
01:13:02,854 --> 01:13:05,604
Why don't we get started
with your opinion of gay marriage.
1002
01:13:05,670 --> 01:13:08,704
Shit! Do we have to?
1003
01:13:08,774 --> 01:13:12,003
- So, you're against it.
- I... no, I didn't say that.
1004
01:13:12,326 --> 01:13:13,886
Then, what is your position?
1005
01:13:14,246 --> 01:13:18,501
I don't have a position on it. Actually,
I don't give a rat's ass about it.
1006
01:13:19,174 --> 01:13:22,786
My daddy always said whatever a king
does in his castle is his business.
1007
01:13:22,950 --> 01:13:26,845
I guess the same can go
for two queens.
1008
01:13:32,294 --> 01:13:36,189
I'm President Boone, and I'd like
you to meet a few friends of mine.
1009
01:13:36,806 --> 01:13:39,261
They're our doctors,
and our peace officers.
1010
01:13:39,686 --> 01:13:42,850
They teach our children,
they serve nobly in our armed forces.
1011
01:13:43,014 --> 01:13:45,126
For two long,
homosexual Americans...
1012
01:13:45,126 --> 01:13:47,068
have been persecuted
by the country they love.
1013
01:13:47,622 --> 01:13:52,641
This President, if re-elected,
will implement the open door initiative.
1014
01:13:53,125 --> 01:13:57,763
Gay Americans alike will be able
to proudly step out of the closet...
1015
01:13:57,894 --> 01:14:02,782
and on to the alter, to exchange the
sacred vows enjoyed by the rest of us.
1016
01:14:03,366 --> 01:14:07,590
Bud, With your help,
this Republican administration...
1017
01:14:07,590 --> 01:14:10,753
will say, I do.
To gay marriage.
1018
01:14:11,718 --> 01:14:12,546
I do.
1019
01:14:15,334 --> 01:14:16,000
I do.
1020
01:14:16,614 --> 01:14:17,507
I do!
1021
01:14:18,085 --> 01:14:19,133
I do.
1022
01:14:19,270 --> 01:14:20,164
I do!
1023
01:14:21,702 --> 01:14:22,847
I do!
1024
01:14:27,878 --> 01:14:30,115
- I did it!
- That 'a way, baby!
1025
01:14:31,654 --> 01:14:34,818
When we were kids, this was the only
thing to do on the weekends.
1026
01:14:36,678 --> 01:14:37,539
Still is.
1027
01:14:48,966 --> 01:14:50,111
Well done, Bud.
1028
01:14:50,981 --> 01:14:51,516
See?
1029
01:14:52,358 --> 01:14:53,852
Let's get to some real issues.
1030
01:14:55,558 --> 01:14:56,158
Okay.
1031
01:14:56,742 --> 01:15:00,254
Pro-life or pro-choice?
Where do you stand?
1032
01:15:02,278 --> 01:15:03,456
Well...
1033
01:15:05,446 --> 01:15:09,090
Life's pretty good.
Right about now.
1034
01:15:09,478 --> 01:15:10,722
So, you're pro-life then?
1035
01:15:14,118 --> 01:15:14,881
Who isn't?
1036
01:15:17,574 --> 01:15:18,076
Artie.
1037
01:15:21,094 --> 01:15:22,555
- Artie.
- What?
1038
01:15:23,366 --> 01:15:27,557
I don't feel comfortable with this.
We're headed in the wrong direction.
1039
01:15:27,557 --> 01:15:28,834
No, it's gonna be great.
1040
01:15:29,029 --> 01:15:30,753
- Artie.
- And action! Action!
1041
01:15:30,918 --> 01:15:32,227
And action, Donald!
1042
01:15:36,901 --> 01:15:38,046
What is our future?
1043
01:15:38,502 --> 01:15:40,509
I'll tell you what our future is.
1044
01:15:41,030 --> 01:15:44,133
Children like these,
like your daughter, Bud.
1045
01:15:44,133 --> 01:15:47,101
Happy, free, full of promise.
1046
01:15:48,133 --> 01:15:52,225
But imagine a world
without all this joyous laughter.
1047
01:15:52,965 --> 01:15:54,559
I'm talking about abortion.
1048
01:15:55,109 --> 01:15:58,021
President Boone,
he claims he's pro-life.
1049
01:15:58,021 --> 01:15:59,462
But yet under his leadership...
1050
01:15:59,462 --> 01:16:03,488
no significant challenge has been
leveled against Roe versus Wade.
1051
01:16:03,622 --> 01:16:06,374
With your help, Bud,
the Greenleaf administration...
1052
01:16:06,374 --> 01:16:11,076
will lead a genuine effort to reverse
this inhumane court decision.
1053
01:16:11,302 --> 01:16:15,709
So, join me and the Democrats
as we preserve all life...
1054
01:16:16,773 --> 01:16:20,156
That's for filling
God's intelligent design.
1055
01:16:20,614 --> 01:16:23,395
I'm Donald Greenleaf
and I approve this message.
1056
01:16:23,654 --> 01:16:25,345
That don't seem right.
1057
01:16:26,213 --> 01:16:28,896
He's only saying that because
you said you didn't like abortion.
1058
01:16:29,062 --> 01:16:30,850
Yeah, but I didn't say that.
1059
01:16:31,078 --> 01:16:32,900
You told that you were pro-life.
1060
01:16:34,405 --> 01:16:35,005
So what?
1061
01:16:35,078 --> 01:16:38,907
Pro-life means anti-abortion.
Roe versus Wade? Hello!
1062
01:16:39,590 --> 01:16:40,702
This isn't working.
1063
01:16:41,190 --> 01:16:43,873
I thought would help,
but it's just worse.
1064
01:16:43,942 --> 01:16:45,797
You're the one
that wanted me to talk to her.
1065
01:16:45,862 --> 01:16:48,862
I thought you might like her.
She's smart, and nice...
1066
01:16:48,999 --> 01:16:51,005
not like the other women
you spend time with.
1067
01:16:54,534 --> 01:16:56,159
Which women would those be, Molly?
1068
01:16:56,614 --> 01:16:58,239
The ones that dance, Bud.
1069
01:16:59,942 --> 01:17:01,698
Well, at least they got jobs.
1070
01:17:04,166 --> 01:17:05,988
It's all getting
turned upside down now.
1071
01:17:06,502 --> 01:17:09,022
What's all getting
turned upside down?
1072
01:17:10,054 --> 01:17:11,712
You're ruining America!
1073
01:17:12,422 --> 01:17:14,909
- I'm what?
- You're ruining EUA!
1074
01:17:14,981 --> 01:17:16,934
- I'm ruining EUA?
- Yes!
1075
01:17:16,934 --> 01:17:17,436
What?
1076
01:17:18,821 --> 01:17:22,470
What I finally am
is having a little good luck...
1077
01:17:22,470 --> 01:17:24,160
and you're giving me
shit about it!
1078
01:17:27,974 --> 01:17:29,981
You know what all this means
for someone like me?
1079
01:17:31,334 --> 01:17:33,894
I had dreams once.
Maybe it weren't this...
1080
01:17:33,894 --> 01:17:36,828
but I was in the fifth grade,
so I had them.
1081
01:17:38,150 --> 01:17:38,815
And now...
1082
01:17:41,030 --> 01:17:44,227
I pretty much been headed on a road
for being a nobody and now that...
1083
01:17:44,293 --> 01:17:48,352
I am a somebody, you can't stand
that I'm getting a little attention.
1084
01:17:49,798 --> 01:17:51,521
- A little?
- Yeah, a little.
1085
01:17:52,742 --> 01:17:54,302
Maybe I'll tell the truth, Bud.
1086
01:17:55,109 --> 01:17:56,222
- The truth?
- Yes.
1087
01:17:57,925 --> 01:17:59,387
The truth about what?
1088
01:18:00,005 --> 01:18:03,617
Maybe I'll tell everybody it was me
who tried to vote while you got drunk!
1089
01:18:03,974 --> 01:18:06,145
I don't care if they
take me away from you.
1090
01:18:06,213 --> 01:18:07,740
Molly... Hey, Molly!
1091
01:18:09,926 --> 01:18:11,039
Leave me alone.
1092
01:18:17,221 --> 01:18:19,043
- Fine.
- Fine.
1093
01:18:21,478 --> 01:18:22,077
Fine.
1094
01:19:12,357 --> 01:19:13,219
Could you sign it?
1095
01:19:15,173 --> 01:19:16,286
Sure thing, Curly.
1096
01:19:19,270 --> 01:19:23,547
Hey, Bud... did you give
the President's butt a kiss from us?
1097
01:19:28,517 --> 01:19:29,695
You got something to say,
Walt?
1098
01:19:32,069 --> 01:19:35,746
It's not just me, Bud. No one
likes what you done to this town.
1099
01:19:36,134 --> 01:19:37,956
What's gonna happen
after you vote?
1100
01:19:38,277 --> 01:19:42,020
Everyone's gonna pack up and leave us
in the same shape as they found us.
1101
01:19:42,182 --> 01:19:44,386
Bud, you're on TVagain!
1102
01:19:46,982 --> 01:19:49,958
Hey, Bud, you're on TV again.
1103
01:19:49,958 --> 01:19:51,998
People have to stop saying
Bud Johnson is good for democracy.
1104
01:19:52,358 --> 01:19:55,227
He's made us the laughing
stock of the entire world.
1105
01:19:55,365 --> 01:19:58,885
The news media follows him around
like a bunch of paparazzi, because...
1106
01:19:58,885 --> 01:20:01,122
we're more concerned
with his fifteen minutes of fame...
1107
01:20:01,286 --> 01:20:03,457
than we are with the choice
he's about to make.
1108
01:20:04,037 --> 01:20:05,947
Is anybody really
listening to this guy?
1109
01:20:06,790 --> 01:20:10,564
Wake up, America!
Bud Johnson, is a dumbass!
1110
01:20:28,102 --> 01:20:30,207
Your wife has just arrived,
Mr. Greenleaf.
1111
01:20:30,278 --> 01:20:31,936
Thank God! Good.
1112
01:20:32,901 --> 01:20:34,495
Please, don't upset him.
1113
01:20:35,013 --> 01:20:37,631
When did you get in?
I missed you so much!
1114
01:20:39,781 --> 01:20:41,986
You are letting this two
bit hack destroy you.
1115
01:20:42,630 --> 01:20:45,797
You are everything that
the Republicans accused you of being.
1116
01:20:45,797 --> 01:20:48,645
A spineless amateur.
Afraid to take a position.
1117
01:20:48,709 --> 01:20:50,684
I am not afraid
to take a position.
1118
01:20:52,070 --> 01:20:54,208
Okay, sometimes
I have second thoughts.
1119
01:20:54,469 --> 01:20:56,379
But what thinking person doesn't?
1120
01:20:56,485 --> 01:21:00,195
You used to stand for something.
Both of you.
1121
01:21:00,901 --> 01:21:01,665
Let her go.
1122
01:21:02,501 --> 01:21:04,127
What's happened to you, Art?
1123
01:21:04,613 --> 01:21:05,857
I'm gonna win this time.
1124
01:21:06,149 --> 01:21:08,613
You used to run campaigns
that meant something.
1125
01:21:08,613 --> 01:21:13,469
They would have meant something
if the candidates I backed had won!
1126
01:21:14,694 --> 01:21:18,850
You know what's like to be on the right
side of every issue on the theory stage?
1127
01:21:19,237 --> 01:21:21,409
The hope that rocks
with every loss?
1128
01:21:22,726 --> 01:21:25,475
Not this time. Never again.
1129
01:21:38,021 --> 01:21:39,712
Back to work! Everybody!
1130
01:21:45,349 --> 01:21:47,073
Look at that!
1131
01:21:47,494 --> 01:21:50,243
You burnt the hot dog,
just a little bit.
1132
01:21:50,726 --> 01:21:51,936
Just the way I like them!
1133
01:21:54,374 --> 01:21:55,748
- Bud?
- Yes?
1134
01:21:57,030 --> 01:22:00,804
I think we should ask
for a Presidential debate.
1135
01:22:02,981 --> 01:22:06,598
Come on! Can't we just talk
about something else for one night?
1136
01:22:06,598 --> 01:22:08,540
Just for a minute? Maybe?
1137
01:22:10,533 --> 01:22:13,021
What did you just say to me?
1138
01:22:14,149 --> 01:22:17,465
A Presidential debate.
Where you get to ask questions.
1139
01:22:17,637 --> 01:22:19,907
Please. Just stop.
1140
01:22:20,038 --> 01:22:22,307
It's important!
It could help you decide.
1141
01:22:22,373 --> 01:22:23,867
Help me decide.
1142
01:22:24,742 --> 01:22:26,149
Think about
what you're saying to me.
1143
01:22:26,149 --> 01:22:29,248
I have! You should read
all this mail you've been getting.
1144
01:22:29,701 --> 01:22:31,523
People are writing
to you for help.
1145
01:22:31,973 --> 01:22:33,980
People are writing me letters.
So what?
1146
01:22:34,469 --> 01:22:36,542
I can't help these people.
1147
01:22:38,405 --> 01:22:39,583
You can speak for them.
1148
01:22:43,781 --> 01:22:44,730
Will you do it for me?
1149
01:22:50,693 --> 01:22:53,377
I'm doing this all
because of you!
1150
01:22:58,182 --> 01:23:01,597
Confirmed, one Presidential debate
will occur this Wednesday night...
1151
01:23:02,053 --> 01:23:05,053
at which Mr. Johnson will ask both
candidates a set of questions.
1152
01:23:05,670 --> 01:23:07,906
The following day,
he'll cast his vote.
1153
01:23:12,101 --> 01:23:14,010
Bud,
what will you ask at the debate?
1154
01:23:15,045 --> 01:23:18,340
Truth is, I don't know yet,
but I'm...
1155
01:23:19,814 --> 01:23:20,958
I'll figure it out.
1156
01:23:26,949 --> 01:23:29,534
I hate debates.
Where they try-to trick you.
1157
01:23:29,893 --> 01:23:31,781
I know, but you'll be fine.
1158
01:23:32,582 --> 01:23:34,523
We have two days
to sew this thing up.
1159
01:23:35,365 --> 01:23:37,023
I'm gonna need you
to meet with Bud again.
1160
01:23:38,405 --> 01:23:41,188
And, offer him a little incentive.
1161
01:23:42,854 --> 01:23:44,829
You want I give him
a bag of cash?
1162
01:23:44,966 --> 01:23:46,754
No, he's got too much
attention on him for that.
1163
01:23:47,269 --> 01:23:49,658
I was thinking
that maybe you'd offer him a job.
1164
01:23:50,182 --> 01:23:53,083
Something with benefits.
If you know what I mean.
1165
01:23:53,861 --> 01:23:55,487
Marty,
I've been meaning to talk to you.
1166
01:23:57,541 --> 01:24:00,029
I'm not sure about our strategy
on this whole Bud thing.
1167
01:24:00,453 --> 01:24:03,519
You've never questioned me before.
On anything.
1168
01:24:04,197 --> 01:24:04,699
Ever.
1169
01:24:05,253 --> 01:24:09,050
I know and I'm not saying
I won't do it. I just...
1170
01:24:10,629 --> 01:24:12,037
I can't shake this feeling...
1171
01:24:13,637 --> 01:24:16,386
The way we've been switching positions,
and now offering Bud...
1172
01:24:18,278 --> 01:24:20,165
We're just doing
what we always do.
1173
01:24:22,214 --> 01:24:22,780
That's all.
1174
01:24:23,526 --> 01:24:26,625
Dancing the dance,
Courting the voters.
1175
01:24:28,102 --> 01:24:30,883
Except this time,
it's only one voter.
1176
01:24:32,645 --> 01:24:33,506
It's one guy.
1177
01:24:34,629 --> 01:24:36,385
This is history,
Mr. President.
1178
01:24:37,670 --> 01:24:39,196
It's never happened before.
1179
01:24:39,717 --> 01:24:43,678
This is a moment the whole
world will remember. Forever.
1180
01:24:46,085 --> 01:24:47,034
I understand.
1181
01:24:53,605 --> 01:24:54,979
What are we about?
1182
01:24:55,845 --> 01:24:56,379
Winning.
1183
01:24:58,085 --> 01:25:01,381
Because if we don't win,
you can't do what you set out to do.
1184
01:25:02,309 --> 01:25:04,164
And what you've done,
won't matter.
1185
01:25:04,869 --> 01:25:07,804
If we don't win,
it's all over.
1186
01:25:08,933 --> 01:25:09,948
And you're over.
1187
01:25:11,430 --> 01:25:12,029
Bud!
1188
01:25:15,333 --> 01:25:16,063
Bud!
1189
01:25:19,941 --> 01:25:20,923
What time is it?
1190
01:25:20,997 --> 01:25:23,964
Late. It's late.
You promised to take me in today.
1191
01:25:24,037 --> 01:25:27,649
Okay!
Just give me a few minutes.
1192
01:25:28,933 --> 01:25:31,355
What's today?
1193
01:25:33,317 --> 01:25:34,210
Forget it.
1194
01:25:37,381 --> 01:25:39,104
Can you take me, please?
1195
01:25:41,573 --> 01:25:43,460
Yeah Ye. Let's go.
1196
01:25:48,518 --> 01:25:49,500
Oh, God!
1197
01:25:51,750 --> 01:25:54,171
Hey, wait a minute, Molly.
1198
01:26:01,829 --> 01:26:03,869
Molly! Molly!
1199
01:26:03,941 --> 01:26:06,755
Mr. Johnson... Mr. Johnson!
1200
01:26:07,781 --> 01:26:09,341
The President
would like a word with you.
1201
01:26:09,957 --> 01:26:11,583
- The President?
- Yes, sir.
1202
01:26:14,309 --> 01:26:15,553
Hey, get a life!
1203
01:26:17,670 --> 01:26:20,669
I used to work at Gilmore
before I got laid off.
1204
01:26:21,381 --> 01:26:23,770
Now, I find work wherever I can.
1205
01:26:24,965 --> 01:26:27,169
Mow people's lawns,
fixing stuff.
1206
01:26:28,293 --> 01:26:29,340
Hasn't been easy.
1207
01:26:32,614 --> 01:26:33,180
Molly.
1208
01:26:35,877 --> 01:26:40,034
I'd sure appreciate it if your Dad could
put in a good word for me at the plant.
1209
01:26:41,349 --> 01:26:44,284
Thank you,
Michael and Mr. Everett for that...
1210
01:26:45,541 --> 01:26:46,490
presentation.
1211
01:26:47,749 --> 01:26:48,993
Who's next?
1212
01:26:49,669 --> 01:26:50,236
Molly.
1213
01:27:06,374 --> 01:27:08,610
I guess you all
probably know my dad.
1214
01:27:11,333 --> 01:27:13,242
He really wanted
to be here today, but...
1215
01:27:14,821 --> 01:27:16,828
he had so many
important things to do.
1216
01:27:18,854 --> 01:27:20,380
He's doing his best, but...
1217
01:27:21,638 --> 01:27:23,394
he can't be everywhere at once.
1218
01:27:26,085 --> 01:27:28,092
Ever since
all this stuff happened...
1219
01:27:30,757 --> 01:27:32,862
he's really been
under a lot of pressure.
1220
01:27:36,197 --> 01:27:37,887
I just want you to know that...
1221
01:27:38,821 --> 01:27:41,570
he takes
his responsibilities seriously...
1222
01:27:43,237 --> 01:27:46,532
and that he really cares
about helping poor people...
1223
01:27:47,142 --> 01:27:48,483
and sick people.
1224
01:27:50,149 --> 01:27:52,538
And people
that can't help themselves.
1225
01:27:57,701 --> 01:27:58,301
My...
1226
01:28:02,212 --> 01:28:05,147
my dad wants to make
this country a better place.
1227
01:28:19,813 --> 01:28:21,406
Do you think much
about your future?
1228
01:28:23,557 --> 01:28:24,572
What future?
1229
01:28:26,085 --> 01:28:26,946
I know what you mean.
1230
01:28:27,622 --> 01:28:29,596
We all worry
about the sun down years.
1231
01:28:30,405 --> 01:28:32,641
Sooner or later,
all this hoopla is gonna die down.
1232
01:28:32,901 --> 01:28:34,277
They're gonna build me a library.
1233
01:28:34,277 --> 01:28:35,903
And you're gonna be
just another face in the crowd.
1234
01:28:38,437 --> 01:28:39,266
Can't wait.
1235
01:28:41,093 --> 01:28:42,718
What you need
to think about is security.
1236
01:28:43,845 --> 01:28:44,957
Now I've got a friend...
1237
01:28:46,822 --> 01:28:50,815
who might have a job for you.
In the lobby business.
1238
01:28:52,292 --> 01:28:54,813
Like opening doors for people?
1239
01:28:55,845 --> 01:28:56,706
Very astute!
1240
01:28:57,221 --> 01:29:00,069
Open doors to politicians.
And their checkbooks.
1241
01:29:00,069 --> 01:29:03,167
People really like you, Bud.
They feel like you're one of them.
1242
01:29:04,677 --> 01:29:06,433
I'm not quite following you,
Andy.
1243
01:29:12,581 --> 01:29:14,850
Sometimes you gotta figure
out what you want in this life.
1244
01:29:16,293 --> 01:29:18,398
Then you have to decide
how much it's worth to you.
1245
01:29:19,557 --> 01:29:21,280
Because they're gonna
put it on your tombstone.
1246
01:29:23,173 --> 01:29:24,100
It's your legacy.
1247
01:29:25,636 --> 01:29:27,491
A measure
of what you left behind.
1248
01:29:29,349 --> 01:29:30,080
Are we...
1249
01:29:32,261 --> 01:29:33,951
are we still talking
about the job?
1250
01:29:36,581 --> 01:29:37,923
The lobby business?
1251
01:29:40,645 --> 01:29:43,492
Right. Forget that.
1252
01:29:47,781 --> 01:29:48,861
It's not worth it.
1253
01:29:57,861 --> 01:29:58,690
And thank you.
1254
01:30:31,877 --> 01:30:32,542
Molly!
1255
01:30:33,765 --> 01:30:35,707
You said that
if I ever wanted to talk, right?
1256
01:30:39,044 --> 01:30:40,255
Here's some hot cocoa.
1257
01:30:41,957 --> 01:30:43,867
Sorry.
All I had was skim milk.
1258
01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:44,962
It's okay.
1259
01:30:47,909 --> 01:30:48,836
What's going on?
1260
01:30:50,405 --> 01:30:52,772
- It's all my fault.
- What's your fault?
1261
01:30:53,093 --> 01:30:55,067
Bud was supposed
to meet me after school.
1262
01:30:55,268 --> 01:30:58,051
He knew how important it was to me.
But he got drunk.
1263
01:30:58,789 --> 01:31:02,117
He never even showed up.
I didn't know what else to do!
1264
01:31:02,117 --> 01:31:04,222
Wait, Molly,
what are you saying?
1265
01:31:06,084 --> 01:31:06,651
Molly?
1266
01:31:08,165 --> 01:31:09,212
Aren't you gonna get that?
1267
01:31:10,597 --> 01:31:14,721
Yeah, give me two seconds. Stay here.
I'm gonna get them off the phone.
1268
01:31:24,549 --> 01:31:29,284
Can call you back?
This isn't a good time. Yeah, I know.
1269
01:31:30,565 --> 01:31:32,059
I know.
You already told me that.
1270
01:31:39,780 --> 01:31:41,668
Look, can I call you back?
1271
01:31:42,341 --> 01:31:42,973
Molly?
1272
01:31:44,549 --> 01:31:45,214
Molly!
1273
01:32:00,869 --> 01:32:01,468
Are you okay?
1274
01:32:02,980 --> 01:32:04,890
You think your dad
might be passed out tonight?
1275
01:32:08,645 --> 01:32:10,620
Then,
you're going to recast your vote.
1276
01:32:10,725 --> 01:32:13,245
I guess it ain't
that much of a secret then, is it?
1277
01:32:16,837 --> 01:32:20,546
If we are to be the exception to history,
then we must break the cycle.
1278
01:32:21,125 --> 01:32:22,880
For those
who do not remember the past...
1279
01:32:24,805 --> 01:32:26,660
Remind me again who's running?
1280
01:32:26,853 --> 01:32:29,122
So, what you're saying is,
you're keeping...
1281
01:32:29,573 --> 01:32:32,671
It's all my fault. Bud was supposed
to meet me after school.
1282
01:32:32,805 --> 01:32:35,903
He knew how important this
was to me. But he got drunk.
1283
01:32:36,293 --> 01:32:39,489
He didn't even show up.
I didn't know what else to do!
1284
01:32:39,750 --> 01:32:40,997
Molly, what are you saying?
1285
01:32:40,997 --> 01:32:41,946
He didn't vote!
1286
01:32:44,772 --> 01:32:46,309
What do you mean,
she's missing?
1287
01:32:46,309 --> 01:32:47,717
I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson.
It's all my fault.
1288
01:32:47,717 --> 01:32:48,998
For crying out loud, Lewis!
1289
01:32:48,998 --> 01:32:52,794
You guys guard Presidents.
1290
01:32:54,468 --> 01:32:55,362
She's smarter!
1291
01:32:57,893 --> 01:32:58,753
Tell me about it!
1292
01:33:10,181 --> 01:33:11,391
What is all this?
1293
01:33:12,389 --> 01:33:13,818
She's been answering your mail.
1294
01:33:14,724 --> 01:33:15,324
For what?
1295
01:33:17,957 --> 01:33:21,339
She wanted people
to think that you cared.
1296
01:33:22,852 --> 01:33:23,746
She told you that?
1297
01:33:37,381 --> 01:33:40,380
Does have any friends
we should contact?
1298
01:33:40,453 --> 01:33:41,249
I don't know.
1299
01:33:46,277 --> 01:33:49,244
No, she's not the friend type.
1300
01:33:50,405 --> 01:33:50,939
Jed.
1301
01:33:52,101 --> 01:33:54,788
- Jed? Who's Jed?
- It's a boy she likes.
1302
01:33:54,788 --> 01:33:56,894
She likes a boy?
1303
01:33:57,189 --> 01:33:59,098
Jed Barkley.
He's in her class.
1304
01:33:59,269 --> 01:34:01,571
He's a little shy,
but they're friends.
1305
01:34:02,276 --> 01:34:06,073
- Is she told you that?
- Yes, sir.
1306
01:34:11,493 --> 01:34:13,053
Do you have any idea
where she might be going?
1307
01:34:19,333 --> 01:34:22,148
Yeah, I'm can guess
where she's going.
1308
01:34:22,661 --> 01:34:24,384
Just tell us where,
we'll go pick her up, sir.
1309
01:34:27,141 --> 01:34:30,653
She's my daughter.
I'll get her myself.
1310
01:34:56,228 --> 01:34:57,057
This is it.
1311
01:34:58,820 --> 01:34:59,998
Sure you wanna go in?
1312
01:35:01,700 --> 01:35:03,228
Came this far, didn't we?
1313
01:35:05,061 --> 01:35:07,996
I'll wait here awhile.
Just in case you want to go home.
1314
01:35:13,125 --> 01:35:14,532
I never want to go home.
1315
01:35:48,613 --> 01:35:49,082
Yes?
1316
01:35:50,244 --> 01:35:51,805
I'm looking for Larissa Star.
1317
01:35:53,541 --> 01:35:57,796
Well, she's gone.
She's moved out a long time ago.
1318
01:36:03,685 --> 01:36:04,764
I think you're her.
1319
01:36:13,221 --> 01:36:13,952
You Jed?
1320
01:36:16,037 --> 01:36:18,492
- It's okay, is she in there?
- Yes, sir.
1321
01:36:20,612 --> 01:36:21,506
Wait here.
1322
01:36:29,924 --> 01:36:31,037
You're all grown up!
1323
01:36:32,388 --> 01:36:33,534
You look like your dad.
1324
01:36:35,141 --> 01:36:36,635
He says I look like you.
1325
01:36:37,573 --> 01:36:41,217
Does he?
So, why did you come here?
1326
01:36:42,469 --> 01:36:46,178
You wrote me a letter.
You said I could come live with you.
1327
01:36:47,301 --> 01:36:49,634
That was a long time ago,
honey.
1328
01:36:51,365 --> 01:36:53,056
Things have changed.
1329
01:36:54,181 --> 01:36:57,247
I'm close to getting
a record deal.
1330
01:36:58,277 --> 01:37:00,065
I did a gig
a couple of months ago.
1331
01:37:00,357 --> 01:37:05,541
This guy wants to put me in touch
with this big time Nashville producer.
1332
01:37:05,541 --> 01:37:07,101
So he's gonna call me.
I'm not gonna be ready.
1333
01:37:07,972 --> 01:37:11,769
I gotta get ready. There's a lot
I gotta do, so I can't do this.
1334
01:37:13,413 --> 01:37:16,478
I'm not well.
Can't you see that?
1335
01:37:18,373 --> 01:37:20,128
I can take care of you, Mom.
1336
01:37:20,356 --> 01:37:23,324
I don't want anybody to take care
of me. I don't want you here.
1337
01:37:24,453 --> 01:37:25,347
Dad!
1338
01:37:28,868 --> 01:37:30,461
Jesus Christ, Larissa!
1339
01:37:31,237 --> 01:37:32,901
I don't want her
to see me like this.
1340
01:37:32,901 --> 01:37:36,479
Molly, you gotta go outside, okay?
For me. You got out there and wait.
1341
01:37:36,933 --> 01:37:39,616
- Dad!
- Just outside. Now!
1342
01:37:48,388 --> 01:37:51,356
I heard you'd finally
gotten cleaned up.
1343
01:37:51,716 --> 01:37:55,197
Who told you that? My God,
what is going on out there?
1344
01:37:55,269 --> 01:37:56,004
I can't explain.
1345
01:37:56,004 --> 01:38:00,062
What are you, famous now? You think
you can just come? I can't do this!
1346
01:38:00,164 --> 01:38:03,198
- Wait...
- No! No! Come here.
1347
01:38:03,460 --> 01:38:04,708
I'm not mad Larissa.
1348
01:38:04,708 --> 01:38:05,854
I'm trying to tell you...
1349
01:38:06,245 --> 01:38:09,892
I can't be a mom right now.
I can't. Stay back! I can't...
1350
01:38:09,892 --> 01:38:13,721
be a mom right now.
I can't do it. I can't do it.
1351
01:39:23,428 --> 01:39:24,803
Said no reporters, Lewis.
1352
01:39:24,996 --> 01:39:26,308
I just want to talk to you.
1353
01:39:26,308 --> 01:39:27,683
I don't have time, Kate.
1354
01:39:28,164 --> 01:39:32,356
I'm moderating a Presidential debate
tomorrow night in front of a zillion.
1355
01:39:32,356 --> 01:39:35,869
So as much as I'd love for you
to make an ass out of me again on TV...
1356
01:39:36,037 --> 01:39:37,563
I kinda have
some preparing to do.
1357
01:39:41,764 --> 01:39:44,098
I have to catch up
on the issues.
1358
01:39:45,125 --> 01:39:46,434
Like all of them!
1359
01:39:46,980 --> 01:39:47,482
Bud.
1360
01:39:51,012 --> 01:39:52,834
I know what happened
election night.
1361
01:39:53,988 --> 01:39:57,021
I'm running the story. I just want
to make sure I've got my facts right.
1362
01:39:57,476 --> 01:40:01,186
The bartender claims you
left the Starline about 7:30.
1363
01:40:01,796 --> 01:40:02,462
Is that correct?
1364
01:40:03,205 --> 01:40:03,935
Yes, madam.
1365
01:40:04,356 --> 01:40:07,422
Giving you plenty of time
to meet at the polling station...
1366
01:40:08,261 --> 01:40:09,275
and cast your vote...
1367
01:40:09,892 --> 01:40:10,426
right?
1368
01:40:13,413 --> 01:40:16,130
I... guess so.
1369
01:40:17,509 --> 01:40:18,523
Just making sure.
1370
01:40:21,285 --> 01:40:24,187
I'm sorry.
I got something for you.
1371
01:40:27,524 --> 01:40:29,411
Kinda forgot who I was
for a moment.
1372
01:40:30,245 --> 01:40:31,193
Forgive me?
1373
01:40:32,324 --> 01:40:33,087
That depends.
1374
01:40:34,756 --> 01:40:37,211
Can you help me,
help him tonight?
1375
01:40:40,324 --> 01:40:41,218
I'd love to.
1376
01:40:42,020 --> 01:40:44,671
I work two jobs
just trying to make ends meet.
1377
01:40:45,252 --> 01:40:46,756
Last year my son
was diagnosed with...
1378
01:40:46,756 --> 01:40:51,939
Law makers renewed the primary programs
for low income HIV and AIDS patients.
1379
01:40:52,260 --> 01:40:55,075
Named for Ryan White,
a young AIDS activist...
1380
01:42:12,356 --> 01:42:13,469
Good evening everyone.
1381
01:42:13,668 --> 01:42:16,865
We come to you live
from a small American town...
1382
01:42:17,349 --> 01:42:20,545
a town most of us had never
heard of just a few weeks ago.
1383
01:42:20,740 --> 01:42:22,788
A town you couldn't find
on the map...
1384
01:42:22,788 --> 01:42:26,104
because Texico, New Mexico,
wasn't on the map.
1385
01:42:26,788 --> 01:42:28,098
But it's on the map now.
1386
01:42:28,165 --> 01:42:31,809
The whole world has descended
on this town for an historic event.
1387
01:42:31,940 --> 01:42:34,722
A political debate
unlike any other.
1388
01:42:34,852 --> 01:42:37,339
Tomorrow morning,
Earnest Bud Johnson...
1389
01:42:37,413 --> 01:42:39,965
will walk into a voting booth
and make a choice.
1390
01:42:40,484 --> 01:42:45,405
And his choice will affect
our lives for generations to come.
1391
01:42:45,956 --> 01:42:49,469
The stakes could not be higher.
What do you expect?
1392
01:42:49,541 --> 01:42:53,250
I wonder, Aaron, what the founding
fathers would make of all this.
1393
01:42:53,444 --> 01:42:56,989
Would they be mortified,
or would they be jumping for joy?
1394
01:42:57,125 --> 01:43:00,223
Something tells me
that somewhere right now...
1395
01:43:00,388 --> 01:43:04,666
Franklin and Jefferson
are looking down and smiling.
1396
01:43:05,061 --> 01:43:06,522
Smiling or laughing?
1397
01:43:06,692 --> 01:43:08,612
I don't know if they're smiling.
1398
01:43:08,612 --> 01:43:11,808
That's not exactly who they had in mind
for picking the President of the USA.
1399
01:43:11,972 --> 01:43:16,282
We're sending someone out there who
really is, as far as, we can tell lost.
1400
01:43:16,420 --> 01:43:19,454
Can he find himself suddenly,
tonight on this stage...
1401
01:43:19,588 --> 01:43:21,857
Or is he going to look
like a rodeo clown down there?
1402
01:43:21,989 --> 01:43:25,982
Tonight, the whole country is
watching and we watch with you.
1403
01:43:26,948 --> 01:43:28,224
I'm gonna puke.
1404
01:43:28,292 --> 01:43:30,267
Bud, look at me. Look at me.
1405
01:43:30,884 --> 01:43:33,502
Just be yourself.
You're gonna be great.
1406
01:43:37,284 --> 01:43:40,187
Hey, remember dad.
No cussing! Okay?
1407
01:43:40,644 --> 01:43:42,105
- Fine.
- Fine.
1408
01:43:43,044 --> 01:43:44,899
Mr. Johnson,
one minute, please.
1409
01:43:48,068 --> 01:43:48,929
Good luck!
1410
01:43:53,380 --> 01:43:54,493
And so we begin.
1411
01:43:54,916 --> 01:43:57,666
The crowd has settled down
and we go to the stage...
1412
01:43:57,732 --> 01:43:59,139
for what promises to be...
1413
01:43:59,652 --> 01:44:03,678
one of the most unique moments
in American political history.
1414
01:44:45,315 --> 01:44:47,770
Mr. President, Mr. Greenleaf...
1415
01:44:48,900 --> 01:44:52,161
I'd like to thank you for your
hospitality. It's been real interesting.
1416
01:44:52,996 --> 01:44:55,483
I've said a lot of thing
I didn't mean.
1417
01:44:56,260 --> 01:44:57,700
And you both
made a lot of promises...
1418
01:44:57,700 --> 01:44:59,260
you probably
won't be able to keep.
1419
01:45:08,260 --> 01:45:11,162
To be honest, the last 10 days
have felt like a weird dream.
1420
01:45:11,972 --> 01:45:14,044
What was once kinda funny,
isn't anymore.
1421
01:45:15,844 --> 01:45:16,989
From what I've read, I've...
1422
01:45:19,076 --> 01:45:21,377
well, I've scared
the hell out of America.
1423
01:45:22,308 --> 01:45:25,569
I know that the world is watching,
maybe even laughing.
1424
01:45:26,020 --> 01:45:28,027
People on my own TV,
are saying...
1425
01:45:28,292 --> 01:45:31,391
that America, somehow,
deserves this moment.
1426
01:45:33,284 --> 01:45:34,528
Guess that means me.
1427
01:45:37,284 --> 01:45:41,081
I can't say that I've been much
of anything most of my life.
1428
01:45:41,156 --> 01:45:43,774
It's sorta like somewhere
along the way...
1429
01:45:44,739 --> 01:45:48,420
I checked out and it's not like
I had big dreams to begin with.
1430
01:45:48,420 --> 01:45:51,322
But I had something once.
1431
01:45:52,484 --> 01:45:57,156
I had something close
to faith or hope or whatever...
1432
01:45:57,156 --> 01:45:59,491
whatever word you want
to use for how good life could be.
1433
01:46:01,251 --> 01:46:05,541
But then, the years start moving
quicker and all of a sudden...
1434
01:46:05,541 --> 01:46:07,395
what's going good
out there for every else...
1435
01:46:09,028 --> 01:46:10,458
isn't going so good for you.
1436
01:46:11,748 --> 01:46:14,498
But, tonight I feel...
1437
01:46:16,259 --> 01:46:17,121
embarrassed.
1438
01:46:20,420 --> 01:46:22,689
I've had my chances,
more than most.
1439
01:46:23,939 --> 01:46:25,466
I've grown up
in a country where...
1440
01:46:25,796 --> 01:46:29,822
if I decided to do more with my life
than just drift and drink...
1441
01:46:30,308 --> 01:46:31,834
that I could be standing where...
1442
01:46:33,380 --> 01:46:34,974
where maybe you stand tonight.
1443
01:46:35,716 --> 01:46:39,458
Instead, I've taken freely
and I've given nothing.
1444
01:46:40,645 --> 01:46:42,051
I'm ashamed in front of my...
1445
01:46:43,876 --> 01:46:44,475
daughter.
1446
01:46:47,652 --> 01:46:48,666
And my country.
1447
01:46:50,692 --> 01:46:52,804
I've never served or sacrificed.
1448
01:46:52,804 --> 01:46:57,059
The only heavy lifting
I've been asked is simple stuff, like...
1449
01:46:57,380 --> 01:47:00,479
pay attention. Vote...
1450
01:47:03,076 --> 01:47:04,505
For America has a...
1451
01:47:06,404 --> 01:47:09,219
if America has a true enemy tonight,
I guess it's me.
1452
01:47:11,684 --> 01:47:15,513
Tonight a below average man is going
to choose between two exceptional men.
1453
01:47:16,452 --> 01:47:18,841
Tomorrow, one man's vote
is going to make a difference...
1454
01:47:20,164 --> 01:47:21,920
'Cause tomorrow
we're gonna have a President.
1455
01:47:22,212 --> 01:47:24,699
And not just someone
to fill a chair in Washington.
1456
01:47:26,340 --> 01:47:28,761
We need someone
who's bigger than their speeches.
1457
01:47:29,700 --> 01:47:33,213
The kind of President
we learned about in school.
1458
01:47:35,268 --> 01:47:36,861
America needs a big thinker.
1459
01:47:39,140 --> 01:47:41,114
You know, like a giant, really.
1460
01:47:41,443 --> 01:47:44,477
Someone who has the good sense
to get in front of our problems.
1461
01:47:44,931 --> 01:47:47,972
Somebody who has the wisdom
to lead to us a place...
1462
01:47:47,972 --> 01:47:50,241
where we're at peace
with ourselves and the world.
1463
01:47:52,132 --> 01:47:55,263
And just for the record,
I want you both...
1464
01:47:56,452 --> 01:47:59,135
I want you both to know
that I think a hella lot of you.
1465
01:48:09,540 --> 01:48:13,795
Tonight, I am going to speak
for people I have never met...
1466
01:48:16,804 --> 01:48:19,586
whose letters touched me
in a way I didn't think was possible.
1467
01:48:22,692 --> 01:48:24,579
My first question comes from...
1468
01:48:24,868 --> 01:48:26,908
Peter Manthis,
in Henderson, Kentucky.
1469
01:48:27,300 --> 01:48:28,445
"Dear Mr. Johnson...
1470
01:48:28,644 --> 01:48:31,197
my wife and I
have three little girls.
1471
01:48:31,267 --> 01:48:34,683
We both work two jobs
just trying to make ends meet.
1472
01:48:36,260 --> 01:48:38,748
And some weeks,
we don't make it."
1473
01:48:39,428 --> 01:48:42,179
"When you work hard and you still
can't take care of your family...
1474
01:48:42,179 --> 01:48:45,660
you start to question yourself
as a provider, as a man.
1475
01:48:46,756 --> 01:48:49,822
I know I am one. I fought
for my country and I'm proud of it.
1476
01:48:51,460 --> 01:48:55,650
But it scares me to think about what
would happen if one of my kids got sick.
1477
01:48:57,220 --> 01:49:01,475
"Can you ask the candidates,
if we are richest country in the world...
1478
01:49:02,916 --> 01:49:05,785
how come some many of us can
barely afford to live here?"
1479
01:49:08,771 --> 01:49:11,161
I'd like to take that one first,
if I might, Mr. Greenleaf.
1480
01:49:12,196 --> 01:49:13,439
Answer, Mr. President.
1481
01:49:15,587 --> 01:49:19,330
Bud, I'd first like to say, how much
I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
