1
00:00:27,227 --> 00:00:30,924
SWING VOTE
2
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,690
After a hotly contested race,
Americans go to the polls today...
3
00:00:57,690 --> 00:01:00,557
in what promises to be
a very close election.
4
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:04,497
The Republican Andrew Boone,
hoping to hold on to the Oval Office...
5
00:01:04,497 --> 00:01:06,833
by edging out...
6
00:01:06,833 --> 00:01:09,131
the Democratic challenger
Donald Greenleaf.
7
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:32,756
Bud... Bud.
8
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,819
Bud!
9
00:01:39,466 --> 00:01:40,728
I'll call... I'll call him back.
10
00:01:41,034 --> 00:01:43,901
If we had a phone, you could.
Come on!
11
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:49,200
Goddamnit! It's cold.
12
00:01:49,275 --> 00:01:52,176
We're gonna be late again.
You need a shower.
13
00:01:53,146 --> 00:01:55,171
Can't believe
you slept in your clothes!
14
00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:08,149
Leave me any hot water?
15
00:02:09,095 --> 00:02:11,689
I don't know.
Water heater fix itself?
16
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:17,070
Christ, Molly! Why don't you
just take the day off, okay?
17
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:18,731
I'll write you a note.
18
00:02:21,341 --> 00:02:23,775
Now!
I'm not going to tell you again!
19
00:02:24,944 --> 00:02:25,740
Get up!
20
00:02:35,455 --> 00:02:36,149
Bud!
21
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:38,685
Alright, I'm coming!
22
00:03:13,793 --> 00:03:16,318
- What?
- Egg salad.
23
00:03:17,363 --> 00:03:18,057
Again?
24
00:03:18,865 --> 00:03:20,230
You like egg salad.
25
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:24,828
Well, not every damn day I don't.
You could mix it up a little.
26
00:03:25,071 --> 00:03:26,129
We're on a budget.
27
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:29,007
You wanna eat better?
Drink less beer.
28
00:03:31,644 --> 00:03:33,373
- Fine.
- Fine.
29
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:38,681
- And don't forget today.
- What's... what's today?
30
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:40,583
Election day, dummy!
31
00:03:40,853 --> 00:03:43,845
I'm supposed to do a report
on you voting, remember?
32
00:03:43,923 --> 00:03:46,721
I already told you before
I'm not even registered.
33
00:03:46,993 --> 00:03:49,195
I registered for you
in the mail.
34
00:03:49,195 --> 00:03:52,164
That's great,
I could get jury duty now.
35
00:03:52,365 --> 00:03:55,596
- It's your civic responsibility.
- It's my civic, my what?
36
00:03:55,768 --> 00:03:57,470
It's your civic responsibility.
37
00:03:57,470 --> 00:04:00,132
My civic responsibility?
Where you learning this crap?
38
00:04:01,407 --> 00:04:02,704
Mrs. Abernathy.
39
00:04:02,875 --> 00:04:05,070
Well, stay away from her.
40
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:07,840
She's my teacher.
41
00:04:33,606 --> 00:04:34,402
Sign this.
42
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:38,069
What is it?
43
00:04:38,678 --> 00:04:41,841
A questionnaire. I'm supposed
to ask you about your politics.
44
00:04:42,749 --> 00:04:44,944
Well, go ahead.
45
00:04:45,051 --> 00:04:46,109
I already filled it in.
46
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,851
I wanted you to sound smart.
47
00:04:51,791 --> 00:04:53,224
Give me
the first question anyway.
48
00:04:56,963 --> 00:04:58,624
What's your political affiliation?
49
00:05:01,367 --> 00:05:04,859
Alright,
I'm a conscious objector.
50
00:05:05,371 --> 00:05:09,676
It's not a war, Bud. It's an election.
And you are an independent.
51
00:05:09,676 --> 00:05:13,203
Independent? Why in the hell
would I be an independent?
52
00:05:13,746 --> 00:05:15,181
Because the two party system...
53
00:05:15,181 --> 00:05:18,207
has neglected the needs
of the working poor.
54
00:05:18,618 --> 00:05:20,108
- Let me tell you something, baby...
- Here we go again.
55
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:25,681
The voting doesn't count
for a goddamn thing.
56
00:05:25,958 --> 00:05:28,688
Just a way to make you feel
like you're in control of something.
57
00:05:29,262 --> 00:05:33,333
It doesn't matter who you vote for,
we can't afford insurance and...
58
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:37,394
if you get sick, I'm gonna have
to start selling my blood again.
59
00:05:37,537 --> 00:05:41,374
Mrs. Abernathy said every vote counts.
It's a social contract.
60
00:05:41,374 --> 00:05:46,004
It's a social contract.
This Mrs. Abernathy is full of shit.
61
00:06:05,832 --> 00:06:07,732
Meet me at the polling place
after work.
62
00:06:08,434 --> 00:06:09,093
Fine.
63
00:06:14,307 --> 00:06:15,501
You forgetting something?
64
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:22,513
Bud, screw this up
and I'm leaving you.
65
00:06:28,354 --> 00:06:29,184
Do good!
66
00:06:59,318 --> 00:06:59,875
Where...
67
00:07:02,288 --> 00:07:03,414
Where the hell is Dewey?
68
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:05,684
He got laid off.
69
00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:08,249
Bullshit! He got insourced.
70
00:07:09,195 --> 00:07:10,162
Insourced?
71
00:07:10,363 --> 00:07:14,163
Insourced. Instead of exporting
our jobs to Mexico...
72
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:16,928
they're importing Mexicans
to take our jobs.
73
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:18,995
You're paranoid,
you know that?
74
00:07:19,806 --> 00:07:23,970
Attention! The opening
this morning is officially cancelled.
75
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:29,847
I can't even read
the damn signs no more!
76
00:07:31,150 --> 00:07:33,744
Our days are numbered, fellas.
You mark my words!
77
00:07:34,153 --> 00:07:36,417
These hombres work twice
as hard for half the money.
78
00:07:36,689 --> 00:07:39,817
I just figure they need this job
twice as bad as us!
79
00:07:40,726 --> 00:07:42,887
Whose side are you on?
80
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:47,122
I don't take sides, Lowell.
Just stating the obvious.
81
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:51,502
Next thing, they'll be taking
away our right to vote.
82
00:07:52,538 --> 00:07:53,436
You voting, Bud?
83
00:07:54,073 --> 00:07:56,166
It's a social contract,
isn't it?
84
00:07:57,343 --> 00:07:58,901
Who are you voting for?
85
00:08:00,847 --> 00:08:02,246
Shit if I know!
86
00:08:06,018 --> 00:08:11,183
I think I picked up a couple shades.
Looks like an eight.
87
00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:12,448
What do you think, Marty?
88
00:08:13,893 --> 00:08:15,690
I don't like
the margin in Florida.
89
00:08:15,862 --> 00:08:19,525
Bus some young Republicans down
to the polling stations in Palm Beach.
90
00:08:19,765 --> 00:08:24,168
Make sure they're tall,
they're blonde and they're men.
91
00:08:25,071 --> 00:08:29,405
Because old Jews see a pack
of angry young white males...
92
00:08:29,542 --> 00:08:32,238
and they're gonna think twice
about getting out of their car!
93
00:08:33,479 --> 00:08:37,472
Kennedy was a nine.
And he put a man on the moon.
94
00:08:40,219 --> 00:08:43,422
That's what we need.
Something to shoot for.
95
00:08:43,422 --> 00:08:46,721
A defining moment.
Like... I don't know.
96
00:08:49,896 --> 00:08:51,022
Cure for cancer.
97
00:08:55,067 --> 00:08:57,837
Ohio run the gay marriage
ad every twenty minutes.
98
00:08:57,837 --> 00:09:00,239
Let's see if we can't get those God
fearing bastards off the fence.
99
00:09:00,239 --> 00:09:02,799
We take a bunch of scientists,
put them in the desert somewhere.
100
00:09:03,175 --> 00:09:06,412
Like the Manhattan project. Are you
listening to me? I'm serious about this.
101
00:09:06,412 --> 00:09:09,215
I think that cancer is going to be
a tough nut to crack in one term, sir.
102
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:10,580
So, we make it a ten year plan.
103
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:13,181
- Lincoln got to see the end of slavery?
- No.
104
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:15,644
- Did Kennedy get to see the moon shot?
- Nope.
105
00:09:15,821 --> 00:09:19,917
No! But they got the credit!
It's the idea that counts.
106
00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:23,119
The guy that sets the goal
gets in the history books!
107
00:09:23,596 --> 00:09:27,500
Hope and positivity! Marty,
the American people want a bright...
108
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:30,958
shining smile to represent
the promise of this country.
109
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:32,902
Take old Georgie there.
110
00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:38,435
Boy, he was off the charts.
111
00:09:39,812 --> 00:09:41,109
They wanted to make him King.
112
00:09:42,615 --> 00:09:43,547
Son of a gun!
113
00:09:57,663 --> 00:09:59,961
Thank you,
thank you for coming.
114
00:10:01,534 --> 00:10:05,834
Galena and I would like
to thank America...
115
00:10:06,238 --> 00:10:08,433
for this glorious opportunity.
116
00:10:08,574 --> 00:10:12,533
I have met people of every race,
color and creed...
117
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:14,409
during this long campaign.
118
00:10:14,580 --> 00:10:18,573
I pledge to you that my White House
will be a rainbow house.
119
00:10:18,651 --> 00:10:21,779
It'll be open to people
of all colors and creeds.
120
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:25,655
Now, please, go and vote.
We need your support.
121
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:33,856
That was great.
I'm gonna go do press.
122
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:34,489
Great.
123
00:10:39,005 --> 00:10:43,237
Greenleaf! Greenleaf!
124
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:46,005
Gallup has you down by a point.
125
00:10:46,078 --> 00:10:50,174
CNN, USA Today, has us up by two.
News has us down by sixty.
126
00:10:50,249 --> 00:10:52,547
What message are you trying
to get out to the undecideds today?
127
00:10:52,618 --> 00:10:55,955
The same message we put out yesterday,
last week and last year...
128
00:10:55,955 --> 00:10:58,515
when we started this campaign
and that's why we're going to win.
129
00:10:58,758 --> 00:11:02,319
Because we have the answers.
Not platitudes and jingoistic rhetoric.
130
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:05,055
This is the truth
train operation real deal.
131
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:08,734
In recent days, the president
has aired ads claiming Greenleaf...
132
00:11:08,734 --> 00:11:10,636
has vacationed
at a nudist colony.
133
00:11:10,636 --> 00:11:13,332
Come on, now, that's a tired
accusation. It's pure fiction.
134
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:17,109
- Then, how do you answer for the photos?
- Right wing blogo-smear, that's how.
135
00:11:17,109 --> 00:11:21,047
I could stand here and perpetuate
the rumor that as a young man...
136
00:11:21,047 --> 00:11:24,642
the president had a gambling addiction,
but I'm got going to sink to their level.
137
00:11:25,084 --> 00:11:28,087
Despite eye witness
accounts and documentation.
138
00:11:28,087 --> 00:11:29,748
They sling mud,
we sling ideas.
139
00:11:29,822 --> 00:11:33,724
Still, if Greenleaf loses,
you'll be 0 for 7 on the national scene.
140
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:38,797
Thank you, Betty. Sorry, folks,
that's all I have time for.
141
00:11:39,432 --> 00:11:40,399
Leeches!
142
00:11:42,301 --> 00:11:44,428
Why it's important to vote.
143
00:11:44,503 --> 00:11:47,267
Many brave soldiers
sacrificed themselves.
144
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,203
A right we take for granted.
145
00:11:49,809 --> 00:11:51,800
- For the people.
- By the people.
146
00:11:52,111 --> 00:11:53,976
We the people!
147
00:11:55,014 --> 00:11:56,504
I can't read my writing.
148
00:11:57,216 --> 00:12:00,379
All the world's great civilizations
have followed the same path.
149
00:12:00,753 --> 00:12:04,348
From bondage, to liberty,
from liberty to abundance...
150
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:08,653
from abundance to complacency.
From complacency to apathy...
151
00:12:08,994 --> 00:12:11,053
from apathy back to bondage.
152
00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:15,032
If we're to be the exception to history,
then we must break the cycle.
153
00:12:15,768 --> 00:12:19,260
For those who do not remember
the past are condemned to repeat it.
154
00:12:23,375 --> 00:12:25,434
Very good, everybody.
Very good.
155
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:28,109
Hold this.
156
00:12:28,347 --> 00:12:31,942
Okay, remember, no running
till you get out to the playground.
157
00:12:32,384 --> 00:12:35,121
Your last one was great.
I'd like to use it on the news.
158
00:12:35,121 --> 00:12:35,985
- Molly?
- Yes.
159
00:12:36,222 --> 00:12:37,382
Molly, come here.
160
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:41,660
This is Ms. Madison.
She's the reporter from the news.
161
00:12:41,660 --> 00:12:43,062
- Hi, Molly.
- Hi.
162
00:12:43,062 --> 00:12:44,290
- How you doing?
- Good.
163
00:12:44,363 --> 00:12:46,797
Your essay was very thoughtful.
164
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:47,895
Thanks.
165
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:50,803
Ms. Madison is going
to show your essay tonight.
166
00:12:50,803 --> 00:12:52,794
- Isn't that exciting?
- Yes, madam.
167
00:12:52,872 --> 00:12:56,308
Tell me something. What do you
want to be when you grow up?
168
00:12:59,478 --> 00:13:03,778
I go back and forth. Either
a veterinarian or chairman of the Fed.
169
00:13:08,487 --> 00:13:09,283
Where's Bud?
170
00:13:09,688 --> 00:13:14,182
Went to take a leak half an hour ago.
I heard his name over the loudspeaker.
171
00:13:15,461 --> 00:13:16,689
What'd you have for lunch?
172
00:13:17,062 --> 00:13:20,156
- Egg salad. You?
- Hard boiled.
173
00:13:25,638 --> 00:13:26,400
Hey, Bud.
174
00:13:29,308 --> 00:13:30,798
Just giving you a heads up.
175
00:13:33,612 --> 00:13:35,876
Management wants us
to cut another ten percent.
176
00:13:36,382 --> 00:13:40,580
Well,
you are management, Carl.
177
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,219
Look, you haven't punched
in on time in six months.
178
00:13:44,456 --> 00:13:50,190
So, I'm five minutes late every once
in a while. What is the big whoop?
179
00:13:50,262 --> 00:13:53,959
You took thirty-one
sick days this year, Bud.
180
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:59,828
Well, I gotta kid, Carl.
She brings it home from school.
181
00:14:18,824 --> 00:14:20,485
Shit! Goddamnit!
182
00:14:41,347 --> 00:14:43,542
Well, hell, Carl!
183
00:14:44,416 --> 00:14:47,317
You could have showed me
your footage when you walked in.
184
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,854
I know we went to school together, Bud.
I've always liked you.
185
00:14:54,026 --> 00:14:56,824
You gotta give me one good
reason why I should keep you.
186
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:01,161
Why I can keep you.
187
00:15:33,299 --> 00:15:34,391
All hellsabelle!
188
00:15:39,238 --> 00:15:40,762
Sorry you lost your job.
189
00:15:40,906 --> 00:15:43,841
That's alright, Henry. Just...
190
00:15:46,045 --> 00:15:51,506
As soon as take your money,
I'm going from fired to retired.
191
00:15:52,117 --> 00:15:53,846
- Hey, Bud!
- Yes?
192
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:55,719
Molly is on TV!
193
00:15:57,623 --> 00:15:59,420
- Apathy back to bondage.
- Geez!
194
00:15:59,725 --> 00:16:03,491
If we are to be the exception to history,
then we must break the cycle.
195
00:16:04,330 --> 00:16:06,560
- Curly, what time you got?
- Nine past seven.
196
00:16:07,366 --> 00:16:07,991
God!
197
00:16:09,768 --> 00:16:12,430
God, man! Shit!
198
00:16:31,190 --> 00:16:32,521
Goddamnit!
199
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:15,554
PLEASE,
INSERT YOUR BALLOT
200
00:19:15,554 --> 00:19:19,217
ERROR CODE - RESTART
201
00:20:21,853 --> 00:20:23,377
I hurt the top of my head.
202
00:20:24,289 --> 00:20:25,278
Come on, lay down.
203
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:38,798
I'm so sorry, baby.
204
00:20:49,982 --> 00:20:51,472
I want to live with Mom.
205
00:20:57,322 --> 00:20:57,981
Me too.
206
00:21:13,205 --> 00:21:16,475
New Mexico
is a classic swing state.
207
00:21:16,475 --> 00:21:18,102
- Mrs. Madison?
- Speaking.
208
00:21:18,343 --> 00:21:21,107
I'm calling
from the New Mexico election board.
209
00:21:21,179 --> 00:21:23,949
- The what?
- The New Mexico election board.
210
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:27,783
Madam, did you cast your vote
at a Texico polling station last night?
211
00:21:28,086 --> 00:21:30,111
I voted in the morning.
212
00:21:30,255 --> 00:21:32,157
In the morning. Alright.
213
00:21:32,157 --> 00:21:33,055
Is there something the matter?
214
00:21:33,358 --> 00:21:35,861
No, no, sorry to bother you.
215
00:21:35,861 --> 00:21:38,523
It is amazing. With every state
but New Mexico reporting...
216
00:21:38,730 --> 00:21:41,290
we're now in a dead heat
for the American presidency.
217
00:21:41,433 --> 00:21:44,425
Each candidate with virtually
the same amount of electoral votes.
218
00:21:44,503 --> 00:21:48,440
270, the magic number to win.
This is a real photo finish!
219
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,704
And it goes to whoever wins
the popular vote in the state.
220
00:21:50,776 --> 00:21:53,506
All five electoral college votes
then swing to that party.
221
00:21:53,578 --> 00:21:55,814
Well, they don't call it the land
of enchantment for nothing.
222
00:21:55,814 --> 00:21:58,408
Whoever takes New Mexico,
takes the White House.
223
00:21:58,483 --> 00:22:03,716
It's d�ja vu again. 2000 presidential
election came down to Dade County.
224
00:22:03,789 --> 00:22:08,860
400 votes in the state of Florida,
out of a total of 105 million cast.
225
00:22:08,860 --> 00:22:13,627
If this is a certified tie, neither the
candidate would receive the majority.
226
00:22:13,865 --> 00:22:17,494
Do we even have a president
to deal with this?
227
00:22:17,636 --> 00:22:20,772
Pursuant to the 12th amendment, the
House of Representatives would decide.
228
00:22:20,772 --> 00:22:22,708
That hasn't happened since...
229
00:22:22,708 --> 00:22:27,475
John Quincy Adams defeated
Andrew Jackson back in 1824.
230
00:22:27,612 --> 00:22:29,170
We're talking rare.
231
00:22:29,448 --> 00:22:32,611
No, this isn't a great civics lesson
to the people of this country?
232
00:22:32,851 --> 00:22:37,823
If anyone in New Mexico didn't vote,
he be kicking themselves right now.
233
00:22:37,823 --> 00:22:42,453
The latest reports coming in,
Curry County still too close to call.
234
00:22:42,561 --> 00:22:46,520
This election is down to a single
county. Is this even possible?
235
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:51,465
Listen, John, there's only 653
registered voters in Texico.
236
00:22:51,536 --> 00:22:53,163
And they've already
recounted those votes.
237
00:22:53,238 --> 00:22:56,935
I know. With that information
and a dollar, I could buy a chalupa!
238
00:22:57,075 --> 00:22:59,543
Everyone I know who voted
has been personally called.
239
00:23:00,445 --> 00:23:01,503
So what?
240
00:23:01,813 --> 00:23:04,304
So, the election. The fact
that it's down to Curry County...
241
00:23:04,649 --> 00:23:06,583
it has something
to do with Texico.
242
00:23:07,619 --> 00:23:09,519
Oh my God. Call you back!
243
00:23:29,141 --> 00:23:29,470
Bud!
244
00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:32,033
Come on!
245
00:23:33,578 --> 00:23:36,046
God, my head!
246
00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:42,612
What? What time is it?
247
00:23:42,888 --> 00:23:44,287
There's some people
here to see you.
248
00:23:45,323 --> 00:23:46,051
Some people?
249
00:23:46,858 --> 00:23:48,052
They look official.
250
00:23:51,363 --> 00:23:54,264
- Child services?
- That's what I'm thinking.
251
00:24:06,178 --> 00:24:08,146
- Okay.
- Here we go.
252
00:24:13,585 --> 00:24:16,748
Mr. Johnson, we would have called first,
but you don't have a telephone.
253
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:21,216
No, no, no, we got a phone.
254
00:24:21,793 --> 00:24:24,663
It's just not connected right now.
But I'm on it, you know.
255
00:24:24,663 --> 00:24:27,655
I'm not gonna say it's been easy
since the wife left, but...
256
00:24:27,833 --> 00:24:30,028
- we're getting on fine.
- Sure are.
257
00:24:30,235 --> 00:24:35,537
And I'm gonna pay these off, I swear.
Just as soon as I find a new job.
258
00:24:35,707 --> 00:24:37,766
- A new job?
- Yes.
259
00:24:38,009 --> 00:24:43,081
I used to be in this Willy Nelson
tribute band. I was thinking about...
260
00:24:43,081 --> 00:24:47,882
getting the guys back together again,
soon as our bass player gets paroled.
261
00:24:48,186 --> 00:24:50,984
And the drinking, I know it,
I know it looks bad.
262
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:54,891
And licking that sucker
is at the top of my list.
263
00:24:55,393 --> 00:24:57,953
Please don't take away from me.
264
00:24:59,264 --> 00:25:01,027
I'll do anything you say,
I swear.
265
00:25:03,301 --> 00:25:04,768
She's just my only good thing.
266
00:25:05,437 --> 00:25:08,031
Mr. Johnson,
we're not from Social Services.
267
00:25:09,808 --> 00:25:10,365
No?
268
00:25:11,243 --> 00:25:12,835
We're from the State
Election Bureau.
269
00:25:13,545 --> 00:25:16,844
Fuck! Thank you, Jesus!
270
00:25:19,851 --> 00:25:23,184
I'm Secretary of State Brower.
And this is Attorney General Wyatt.
271
00:25:23,255 --> 00:25:26,053
Mr. Johnson,
did you cast your vote last night?
272
00:25:27,259 --> 00:25:28,419
Last night, did you vote?
273
00:25:29,361 --> 00:25:35,129
That's right,
it's my civic duty, isn't it?
274
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:36,493
Indeed it is.
275
00:25:37,335 --> 00:25:40,304
Mr. Johnson,
is this your signature?
276
00:25:45,243 --> 00:25:46,175
I guess.
277
00:25:46,444 --> 00:25:47,779
You guess it's your signature?
278
00:25:47,779 --> 00:25:52,341
No, no. That's right.
That's my signature.
279
00:25:52,918 --> 00:25:54,180
Did you retain your stub?
280
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:56,384
What stub?
281
00:25:56,821 --> 00:25:59,085
The perforated stub
on top of your ballot.
282
00:26:05,931 --> 00:26:11,631
Where's that perforated stub
that I gave you for your school project?
283
00:26:12,270 --> 00:26:13,032
I've got it.
284
00:26:25,483 --> 00:26:26,177
It's him.
285
00:26:26,685 --> 00:26:28,846
Yeah, it's him. What do you mean,
"him?" Me, him?
286
00:26:30,989 --> 00:26:32,286
Sir, your vote didn't count.
287
00:26:33,058 --> 00:26:35,560
Mr. Johnson,
it's our duty to inform you...
288
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,428
that you are entitled to recast
your ballot in a timely manner.
289
00:26:40,065 --> 00:26:42,090
What if I don't want to?
290
00:26:43,568 --> 00:26:44,193
Bud!
291
00:26:46,404 --> 00:26:50,976
Alright then, how about if I, how
about if I just whisper it to you then?
292
00:26:50,976 --> 00:26:53,444
Right here we'd get it over with,
right now and you can listen too!
293
00:26:53,511 --> 00:26:55,843
No, sir, there are strict rules
and legal procedures.
294
00:26:55,914 --> 00:26:59,873
Legal shit. Shit, fellas,
I can't afford a lawyer.
295
00:27:00,185 --> 00:27:02,915
You're not in trouble.
You don't need a lawyer.
296
00:27:03,321 --> 00:27:05,619
However,
I will have to administer an oath.
297
00:27:05,857 --> 00:27:06,755
An oath?
298
00:27:06,825 --> 00:27:08,588
An oath. Please,
place your hand on the Bible.
299
00:27:11,229 --> 00:27:13,197
Do you, Earnest Johnson...
300
00:27:13,531 --> 00:27:16,659
swear to recast your ballot
in the spirit of the law?
301
00:27:17,235 --> 00:27:18,998
Yeah, yes, sure. Okay.
302
00:27:19,604 --> 00:27:20,332
So noted.
303
00:27:20,405 --> 00:27:24,000
A petition will be filed on your behalf
and a date will be set for your revote.
304
00:27:24,175 --> 00:27:28,805
Does this put me
on some sort of fast track list?
305
00:27:30,181 --> 00:27:32,445
You know, for like jury duty?
306
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:37,546
Considering the gravity of this
situation, keep all of this a secret.
307
00:27:39,024 --> 00:27:39,854
Have a good night.
308
00:27:56,207 --> 00:27:56,901
Sorry.
309
00:27:57,876 --> 00:28:01,835
You should be! I could get into
all kinds of trouble because of you!
310
00:28:03,481 --> 00:28:04,649
Gosh, Molly!
311
00:28:04,649 --> 00:28:08,710
Why can't you
learn just to let things be?
312
00:28:09,054 --> 00:28:13,548
I told you this was important to me,
but you never listen!
313
00:28:23,468 --> 00:28:27,205
Another astonishing development:
New Mexico Elections Bureau is reporting...
314
00:28:27,205 --> 00:28:31,301
a single irregular ballot is holding
up a final decision in the state.
315
00:28:31,409 --> 00:28:35,072
As I said, a single ballot.
That's one vote, folks!
316
00:28:35,246 --> 00:28:38,550
This really couldn't get any stranger,
MSNBC has learned that the voter...
317
00:28:38,550 --> 00:28:41,075
has been identified and has
agreed to recast the ballot.
318
00:28:41,586 --> 00:28:45,579
One voter will decide the fate
of the state's five electoral votes.
319
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:50,628
On this bizarre day, no one
will soon forget, one American citizen...
320
00:28:50,628 --> 00:28:54,587
will effectively choose the next
President of the United States.
321
00:28:55,834 --> 00:28:58,667
Apparently the electronic
voting machine malfunctioned.
322
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:01,473
The ballot was scanned, but the machine
died before the vote was counted.
323
00:29:01,473 --> 00:29:02,373
It's an anomaly.
324
00:29:02,373 --> 00:29:04,773
No shit, Larry! What polling
station was the machine in?
325
00:29:04,843 --> 00:29:06,811
Texico, New Mexico, sir.
326
00:29:07,612 --> 00:29:08,738
Is that a place?
327
00:29:09,581 --> 00:29:11,640
Where the hell is Texico?
328
00:29:11,716 --> 00:29:13,479
New Mexico, sir, Curry County.
329
00:29:13,551 --> 00:29:16,816
New Mexico election law dictates
if a voter's right is violated...
330
00:29:16,888 --> 00:29:19,982
The voter shall be-entitled
to recast the ballot. I know.
331
00:29:21,192 --> 00:29:24,650
Alright, kids,
we're going to war.
332
00:29:24,763 --> 00:29:26,924
A map!
Somebody get me a map!
333
00:29:27,165 --> 00:29:31,261
There's one schmuck standing between us
and the White House. Find out who it is.
334
00:29:31,569 --> 00:29:33,002
We can't do that legally.
335
00:29:34,472 --> 00:29:35,370
Just find him.
336
00:29:41,179 --> 00:29:44,114
We were supposed
to my cytoplasm out of Jell-O today.
337
00:29:45,817 --> 00:29:48,586
What kinda kid would rather
sit in a crummy classroom...
338
00:29:48,586 --> 00:29:49,951
than be out here?
339
00:29:50,455 --> 00:29:53,913
What kind of father goes fishing
when he should be looking for a new job?
340
00:29:54,259 --> 00:29:56,828
The kind who would just like...
341
00:29:56,828 --> 00:30:00,764
to spend a little more time
with his daughter.
342
00:30:01,866 --> 00:30:02,628
That's who.
343
00:30:03,668 --> 00:30:05,397
- Fine.
- Fine.
344
00:30:08,706 --> 00:30:09,798
Anyway, I've been thinking.
345
00:30:10,308 --> 00:30:11,570
How refreshing!
346
00:30:13,578 --> 00:30:17,742
Jesus! You gotta quit being
such a smart ass all the time?
347
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:20,785
And you've got to stop using Jesus
as a cuss word all the time!
348
00:30:21,219 --> 00:30:23,054
He's a billion people's Savior.
349
00:30:23,054 --> 00:30:25,147
Alright, fine, okay?
I get it.
350
00:30:26,224 --> 00:30:27,657
- Fine.
- Fine.
351
00:30:34,933 --> 00:30:38,236
I wish...
your mom could be here...
352
00:30:38,236 --> 00:30:40,796
to talk to you about
everything that's going on.
353
00:30:43,675 --> 00:30:45,040
I really do.
354
00:30:46,010 --> 00:30:49,707
No, she... no, she can't.
355
00:30:51,916 --> 00:30:52,905
She's just, she can't, baby.
356
00:30:57,655 --> 00:30:58,121
Bud.
357
00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:05,020
Next Tuesday, is bring
your father to school day.
358
00:31:07,298 --> 00:31:09,823
- So?
- I want you to come.
359
00:31:13,238 --> 00:31:15,934
It's not gonna embarrass
you that I don't have a job?
360
00:31:16,407 --> 00:31:17,567
I don't care.
361
00:31:18,443 --> 00:31:19,671
I want you to come anyway.
362
00:31:25,483 --> 00:31:27,508
- Think you can remember?
- Of course.
363
00:31:29,354 --> 00:31:29,979
How?
364
00:31:30,755 --> 00:31:31,722
Well...
365
00:31:33,691 --> 00:31:35,249
I'll write it on my forehead.
366
00:31:45,036 --> 00:31:46,435
Can I go to school, now?
367
00:31:50,408 --> 00:31:53,309
Yes. Just one more cast.
368
00:32:04,289 --> 00:32:05,483
Why don't you go
start the truck.
369
00:32:20,905 --> 00:32:25,274
Try to get a two shot, alright?
Okay, come on!
370
00:32:25,576 --> 00:32:26,565
Earnest Johnson!
371
00:32:27,278 --> 00:32:29,109
- Yes?
- Kate Madison.
372
00:32:29,914 --> 00:32:31,006
- Hi, there.
- Hi.
373
00:32:33,718 --> 00:32:36,152
Shit! You're the lady
from the news.
374
00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:38,518
I am, and I'd like
to ask you a few questions.
375
00:32:38,589 --> 00:32:40,955
You know, you're much prettier
than you are on the TV.
376
00:32:41,392 --> 00:32:42,293
Thanks. I would...
377
00:32:42,293 --> 00:32:45,922
Don't get me wrong,
you're pretty on the TV too.
378
00:32:47,131 --> 00:32:49,463
Just, we got an old set
that kinda "squirshes" you.
379
00:32:49,634 --> 00:32:50,430
Squishes everybody.
380
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:53,004
I believe, Mr. Johnson.
I believe...
381
00:32:53,004 --> 00:32:54,631
You can call me Bud.
382
00:32:55,073 --> 00:32:58,543
Bud. I was hoping you
could tell me why those men...
383
00:32:58,543 --> 00:33:01,034
flew from Santa Fe,
to see you in the middle of the night.
384
00:33:08,586 --> 00:33:12,613
Well, actually, I kinda promised
to keep that a secret.
385
00:33:13,691 --> 00:33:16,216
You mean,
you're going to recast your vote.
386
00:33:18,129 --> 00:33:21,565
Well, shit, I guess that I guess
it ain't that much of a secret then.
387
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,961
Now, listen, Bud,
you need to watch your language.
388
00:33:26,137 --> 00:33:27,263
- We're taping this for TV, okay?
- The language?
389
00:33:27,939 --> 00:33:30,908
Goddamnit, yes of course!
390
00:33:31,042 --> 00:33:36,446
The question now is, who you voted for
and are you going to vote the same way?
391
00:33:38,716 --> 00:33:40,547
Remind me again who's running?
392
00:33:41,486 --> 00:33:44,478
What you're saying is,
you're keeping an open mind?
393
00:33:45,490 --> 00:33:47,355
Yeah, that's...
394
00:33:47,859 --> 00:33:49,156
That's the kinda guy I am.
395
00:33:50,061 --> 00:33:51,050
You gotta be kidding me!
396
00:33:51,729 --> 00:33:53,754
This is OJ big. Bigger!
397
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,624
I gotta call network!
398
00:33:58,002 --> 00:34:01,606
John,
let me break the story.
399
00:34:01,606 --> 00:34:03,335
I thought I was gonna die
in this shithole.
400
00:34:03,474 --> 00:34:06,068
You said that when the time was right,
you'd give me a chance. That's the time!
401
00:34:06,144 --> 00:34:07,304
We'll be back to a real market.
402
00:34:07,445 --> 00:34:11,282
The city! With elevators and Chinese
restaurants and crime and traffic.
403
00:34:11,282 --> 00:34:14,185
I got the tape
of Mrs. Zachary's prize winning sow.
404
00:34:14,185 --> 00:34:16,119
Screw Mrs. Zachary.
And screw the sow!
405
00:34:16,254 --> 00:34:17,278
You promised me.
406
00:34:18,122 --> 00:34:20,613
Get network on the phone.
Don't screw it up.
407
00:34:22,326 --> 00:34:24,419
- You won't regret it!
- Better not! Darlene!
408
00:34:35,873 --> 00:34:39,866
So... is your dad coming
to talk to our class?
409
00:34:41,612 --> 00:34:46,606
I don't know. Doesn't really leave
the house much since my mom left.
410
00:34:48,219 --> 00:34:49,277
Mine left too.
411
00:34:50,154 --> 00:34:53,123
She's pursuing
a singing career in Albuquerque.
412
00:34:54,826 --> 00:34:57,158
I'm going to move there
when she becomes a big star.
413
00:34:57,228 --> 00:34:59,025
And she's gonna take me
on tour and everything.
414
00:35:00,865 --> 00:35:02,662
She'll probably do
a concert in Austin.
415
00:35:04,202 --> 00:35:05,726
I could get you free tickets.
416
00:35:06,304 --> 00:35:08,864
Maybe.
Guess I could borrow my dad's car.
417
00:35:10,041 --> 00:35:13,670
I'll wait till he gets drunk.
Sometimes he passes out.
418
00:35:19,317 --> 00:35:20,875
Do you think
I could try your skateboard?
419
00:35:24,455 --> 00:35:25,114
Okay.
420
00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:36,633
I'm the king of Curry County, John,
and I've been 15 years at this desk.
421
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:39,898
I feel for you, Ted.
Don't make me call security.
422
00:35:49,113 --> 00:35:50,978
Holy crap!
423
00:35:51,949 --> 00:35:54,247
You, desk! Sit!
424
00:35:54,919 --> 00:35:56,887
People,
we go live in 30 seconds!
425
00:35:57,021 --> 00:35:58,921
From this point on,
the news counts!
426
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:03,359
So excited,
I got my accent back. My god!
427
00:36:05,429 --> 00:36:06,396
And cue graphics!
428
00:36:07,365 --> 00:36:08,229
And cue music!
429
00:36:09,300 --> 00:36:11,598
And cue!
430
00:36:12,036 --> 00:36:17,406
Good evening. This is Madison, coming
to you from Curry County, New Mexico.
431
00:36:17,575 --> 00:36:21,011
Over the last 24 hours,
the American political process...
432
00:36:21,078 --> 00:36:24,878
has ground to a virtual standstill
as the world watches...
433
00:36:25,116 --> 00:36:29,951
waiting for the outcome of an election.
Today, I uncovered the identity...
434
00:36:30,054 --> 00:36:32,852
of the person the entire
world has been looking for.
435
00:36:33,090 --> 00:36:36,491
The one swing voter
who will decide the election.
436
00:36:36,761 --> 00:36:40,253
Those of you hoping to hear that
decision will be sorely disappointed.
437
00:36:40,464 --> 00:36:43,695
Because you are about to meet
a registered independent...
438
00:36:43,834 --> 00:36:46,632
who claims to be
keeping an open mind.
439
00:36:47,405 --> 00:36:50,101
Imagine,
on this man's shoulders...
440
00:36:50,341 --> 00:36:53,242
stands the future
of the free world.
441
00:36:53,611 --> 00:36:55,044
Just the kind of guy I am.
442
00:36:56,948 --> 00:37:01,248
Let it never again be said,
that a single vote counts for nothing.
443
00:37:11,262 --> 00:37:11,785
Bud!
444
00:37:12,630 --> 00:37:13,119
Bud!
445
00:37:14,265 --> 00:37:14,890
What?
446
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:17,424
There's some people outside.
447
00:37:17,902 --> 00:37:21,998
Geez, you gotta stop
waking me up like this, okay?
448
00:37:22,506 --> 00:37:23,734
You're gonna kill me.
449
00:37:23,808 --> 00:37:26,106
There are some people outside!
450
00:37:27,578 --> 00:37:28,306
People?
451
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:30,344
God!
452
00:37:33,050 --> 00:37:35,018
No, not there! Out front!
453
00:37:35,753 --> 00:37:39,314
Oh, God... What now?
454
00:37:41,525 --> 00:37:43,720
- Dad, hurry up!
- Yeah, I'm going, honey.
455
00:37:46,731 --> 00:37:48,221
There's a lot of people
out there.
456
00:37:48,532 --> 00:37:52,093
Okay, honey, let's see
what the fuss is all about.
457
00:37:56,741 --> 00:37:57,469
Is that him?
458
00:37:58,576 --> 00:37:59,270
Bud!
459
00:38:00,344 --> 00:38:01,834
Mr. Johnson,
any decisions yet?
460
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:17,317
- Holy shit!
- What do they want?
461
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:19,962
I don't know.
462
00:38:24,068 --> 00:38:25,160
Go turn the TV on, baby.
463
00:38:34,111 --> 00:38:37,274
We are in the midst
of a historic moment.
464
00:38:37,415 --> 00:38:39,883
The swing voter
has finally been identified.
465
00:38:40,051 --> 00:38:43,282
We go live now to a trailer
in Texico, New Mexico.
466
00:38:43,688 --> 00:38:46,418
Earnest Johnson made
an appearance just moments ago.
467
00:38:46,724 --> 00:38:49,284
Apparently, overwhelmed
by the media presence.
468
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,487
And Mr. Landry, exactly how long
have you known Earnest Johnson?
469
00:38:54,131 --> 00:38:57,032
Earnest Johnson?
Hey, Earnest!
470
00:38:58,069 --> 00:39:01,505
- You mean Bud?
- We all grew up together.
471
00:39:01,939 --> 00:39:04,008
How do you think he's
shouldering the responsibility...
472
00:39:04,008 --> 00:39:06,476
of picking the next President
of the United States?
473
00:39:08,612 --> 00:39:11,513
Well, I'm sure that...
474
00:39:12,383 --> 00:39:16,149
Earnest is...
crapping his pants.
475
00:39:19,056 --> 00:39:21,792
He's a good guy.
He likes to treat them good.
476
00:39:21,792 --> 00:39:23,817
We used to light
the mesa back here on fire!
477
00:39:30,768 --> 00:39:32,065
It's all my fault, isn't it?
478
00:39:32,136 --> 00:39:34,366
No! No, no, no, baby, no.
479
00:39:34,939 --> 00:39:38,841
None of this would have happened
if I hadn't let you down.
480
00:39:40,111 --> 00:39:41,271
What are we gonna do?
481
00:39:42,179 --> 00:39:42,838
Well...
482
00:39:46,183 --> 00:39:47,514
I'm gonna back these people up.
483
00:39:53,991 --> 00:39:56,016
Holy shit!
484
00:39:57,628 --> 00:39:58,652
There's so many!
485
00:40:00,564 --> 00:40:03,658
Ok, I'm just gonna go out there,
right? I'm gonna...
486
00:40:05,503 --> 00:40:09,667
I'm gonna walk out there and tell
those people it wasn't me who voted.
487
00:40:10,274 --> 00:40:11,536
No, you can't!
488
00:40:11,909 --> 00:40:12,876
Why not?
489
00:40:13,244 --> 00:40:15,439
You swore to that judge,
on a Bible and everything.
490
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:17,743
What? That was the middle
of the night. That can't count!
491
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:22,549
You were under oath, Bud.
Voter fraud is a felony.
492
00:40:22,653 --> 00:40:25,087
And one more felony
and they take me away from you.
493
00:40:25,222 --> 00:40:27,213
You're right. Shit!
I am down to one!
494
00:40:39,170 --> 00:40:40,137
What do we do?
495
00:40:45,643 --> 00:40:48,976
We lie. We have to.
496
00:40:51,782 --> 00:40:57,448
Okay, that's a good plan.
Just a little white lie is all this is.
497
00:40:57,521 --> 00:40:59,751
- Between us.
- Just between us.
498
00:41:00,357 --> 00:41:03,485
Who knows,
maybe this thing, all these...
499
00:41:04,695 --> 00:41:08,654
Maybe all these people,
they just go away.
500
00:41:45,736 --> 00:41:47,101
Stop! Stop!
501
00:42:29,246 --> 00:42:30,508
What the hell is this?
502
00:42:30,981 --> 00:42:32,414
The biggest space we could find.
503
00:42:34,718 --> 00:42:37,755
How we gonna do this?
Build a campaign around one man?
504
00:42:37,755 --> 00:42:40,155
- I don't know how to do this.
- You're gonna leave it to me.
505
00:42:40,324 --> 00:42:43,088
We're gonna win him, Don!
We're gonna win this guy.
506
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,563
We got the issues on our side!
507
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:47,331
- There you go!
- He's gonna love me!
508
00:42:47,331 --> 00:42:48,525
What's not to love?
509
00:42:52,603 --> 00:42:56,733
We're in trouble. I need you to dig up
everything you can on Earnest Johnson.
510
00:42:56,807 --> 00:42:58,275
Talk to his family, his friends.
511
00:42:58,275 --> 00:43:00,573
I want to know what he reads,
what television show he watches.
512
00:43:00,644 --> 00:43:05,104
His hobbies, his favorite foods,
his hopes, his dreams, everything.
513
00:43:05,649 --> 00:43:09,983
All we have to do is win
over one American mind!
514
00:43:10,688 --> 00:43:11,780
You know, I was just thinking,
Marty.
515
00:43:12,556 --> 00:43:14,683
I'd like to get to know
this Bud Johnson. Personally.
516
00:43:14,959 --> 00:43:15,926
Okay. Good.
517
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,227
Maybe take him out
for some ice cream.
518
00:43:22,099 --> 00:43:22,758
Ice cream?
519
00:43:23,701 --> 00:43:25,362
What grown man
doesn't like ice cream?
520
00:43:29,173 --> 00:43:32,506
No higher education,
not much lower education.
521
00:43:32,810 --> 00:43:34,971
Divorced single father,
recently laid off.
522
00:43:35,045 --> 00:43:36,137
What's our first step?
523
00:43:36,313 --> 00:43:39,441
Put you in a room together. See if you
persuade him to come over to our side.
524
00:43:39,650 --> 00:43:45,486
I like it. Him and me in a room. Yes,
talking ideas, seeing what comes up.
525
00:43:45,589 --> 00:43:47,524
Great plan.
I'll get you some talking points.
526
00:43:47,524 --> 00:43:49,082
I'm good off the cuff already.
527
00:43:49,259 --> 00:43:54,098
Of course! We're just gonna get
an itty bitty think tank together.
528
00:43:54,098 --> 00:43:57,864
We'll run the data, see what you two
could possibly have in common.
529
00:43:58,669 --> 00:44:00,102
Your petition has been processed.
530
00:44:00,337 --> 00:44:04,808
And in accordance with New Mexico state
law, Chapter 1, Article 13, Section 11.
531
00:44:04,808 --> 00:44:09,113
Could you do us a favor and back
these news people up a little bit?
532
00:44:09,113 --> 00:44:12,105
We could barely
sleep last night.
533
00:44:16,186 --> 00:44:19,223
Said voter Earnest Johnson,
is hereby authorized...
534
00:44:19,223 --> 00:44:21,214
to recast his vote 10 days
from today along official.
535
00:44:22,192 --> 00:44:24,828
And there's a fat guy there,
he keeps leaning on my truck...
536
00:44:24,828 --> 00:44:26,887
fixing his hair
in my side mirror.
537
00:44:32,302 --> 00:44:36,073
Said voter, Earnest Johnson,
is hereby authorized to recast his vote...
538
00:44:36,073 --> 00:44:39,543
10 days from today. Along official
documentary notification...
539
00:44:39,543 --> 00:44:41,636
to both state,
federal regulatory authorities.
540
00:44:42,146 --> 00:44:44,842
Bud, life's gonna be
a little different from now on.
541
00:44:45,282 --> 00:44:47,147
You'll need security
around the clock.
542
00:44:47,751 --> 00:44:48,376
For what?
543
00:44:48,819 --> 00:44:50,616
You're a household name.
544
00:44:50,954 --> 00:44:53,980
Every political nut job in the country
is gonna make their way down here.
545
00:44:54,124 --> 00:44:58,584
In 10 days, you gonna make the most
important decision in the free world.
546
00:44:58,662 --> 00:45:01,565
And it is our job to make sure
this thing comes off fair and square.
547
00:45:01,565 --> 00:45:04,534
So, if there's anything
that you think we need to know...
548
00:45:08,872 --> 00:45:09,634
Like what?
549
00:45:10,541 --> 00:45:12,406
Something
we may find out later.
550
00:45:13,544 --> 00:45:15,171
Better now, than later.
551
00:45:19,283 --> 00:45:22,343
No, sir,
there's nothing to know.
552
00:45:26,490 --> 00:45:29,050
Molly! Molly! Molly!
553
00:45:29,493 --> 00:45:32,326
- I don't believe it. She's his daughter!
- Who's his daughter?
554
00:45:32,396 --> 00:45:35,032
The Chairman of the Fed,
the girl that won the essay contest.
555
00:45:35,032 --> 00:45:37,159
Remember, I ran the story on her,
election day?
556
00:45:37,634 --> 00:45:40,569
This is perfect! The network wants
to do an interview with her daddy.
557
00:45:40,804 --> 00:45:42,740
I'm not going
to use this little girl!
558
00:45:42,740 --> 00:45:45,265
I've told you this before.
I have integrity, like Paula Zahn.
559
00:45:45,342 --> 00:45:47,111
I met Paula Zahn.
560
00:45:47,111 --> 00:45:49,807
Paula Zahn eats
where my friend is a waiter, alright?
561
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,440
I don't want to hurt
your feelings, you're no Paula Zahn.
562
00:45:52,516 --> 00:45:53,574
No Paula Zahn?
563
00:45:53,684 --> 00:45:56,186
I booked this story.
It was me.
564
00:45:56,186 --> 00:46:00,316
Yes, that's why everybody here
is trying to rip it out from under you.
565
00:46:00,591 --> 00:46:04,083
You want a desk in New York,
you want a desk in Los Angeles?
566
00:46:04,194 --> 00:46:06,628
Forget everything you learned
in journalism school.
567
00:46:06,797 --> 00:46:11,700
This isn't new anymore. This isn't life.
This is bigger. This is television!
568
00:46:43,333 --> 00:46:46,203
The Johnsons have been virtually
besieged inside their trailer.
569
00:46:46,203 --> 00:46:49,104
But we're lucky to be joined
by their pizza delivery man.
570
00:46:49,273 --> 00:46:52,140
How would you characterize
Earnest Johnson's state of mind?
571
00:46:53,043 --> 00:46:55,307
Mostly I'd say, he was hungry.
572
00:46:55,412 --> 00:46:56,538
He was hungry.
573
00:46:57,514 --> 00:46:58,682
Well, there you have it.
574
00:46:58,682 --> 00:47:00,047
I ain't tipping him anymore.
575
00:47:00,317 --> 00:47:02,979
I ought to trim
Mrs. Hardy's elm.
576
00:47:03,687 --> 00:47:07,646
Looks like it's moving in our roof.
What do you think?
577
00:47:08,525 --> 00:47:11,085
Hard to tell.
What do you think?
578
00:47:12,563 --> 00:47:13,325
Definitely.
579
00:47:15,032 --> 00:47:17,694
Since has become the most Googled
town in the world...
580
00:47:17,935 --> 00:47:20,529
narrowly edging out in Jihad.
581
00:47:51,401 --> 00:47:52,629
Holy crap!
582
00:47:53,070 --> 00:47:54,332
- You Bud?
- Yeah!
583
00:47:54,471 --> 00:47:56,371
You're Richard Petty.
584
00:47:56,673 --> 00:47:57,469
You got it, man.
585
00:47:57,908 --> 00:48:00,206
Hold on. Honey!
It's the king!
586
00:48:00,510 --> 00:48:04,173
I got a friend down the road I want
you to meet. You wanna go for a ride?
587
00:48:07,484 --> 00:48:11,113
Yes!
Could my daughter come?
588
00:48:11,288 --> 00:48:14,621
In that case, maybe you'd better
drive. Precious cargo and all!
589
00:48:20,197 --> 00:48:22,893
Just a minute, Mr. Petty.
Hey, Chubby!
590
00:48:23,500 --> 00:48:27,197
Just because it ain't rolling, don't
make it furniture! Back out of here!
591
00:48:28,505 --> 00:48:29,836
Come on, baby! We gotta go!
592
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:32,170
You're Richard Petty!
593
00:48:40,751 --> 00:48:42,878
Molly! Get a picture, honey.
594
00:48:43,420 --> 00:48:48,187
If you told me two days ago
that I'd be driving your Dodge...
595
00:48:48,458 --> 00:48:49,686
- Did you get it?
- Yes.
596
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,361
Get one more. Get it with my chin
out a little bit. Like that.
597
00:48:54,331 --> 00:48:55,229
Like a hero.
598
00:48:56,633 --> 00:48:57,964
I told you, you crazy!
599
00:48:58,268 --> 00:48:59,963
You ain't seen nothing yet.
600
00:49:28,231 --> 00:49:28,856
Bud!
601
00:49:30,033 --> 00:49:31,694
This is the President's plane.
602
00:49:34,271 --> 00:49:38,367
Hello, you be Molly. I'm Mr. Fox,
I work with the President.
603
00:49:38,775 --> 00:49:40,709
Hi.
Hi. Bud, Martin Fox.
604
00:49:41,511 --> 00:49:43,570
- Hello.
- How are you? Come in.
605
00:49:43,647 --> 00:49:45,376
Take your hat off please.
Your hat.
606
00:49:45,749 --> 00:49:48,115
So, this is the Johnson family.
607
00:49:48,685 --> 00:49:50,346
Welcome to Air Force One.
Hi, Molly.
608
00:49:50,554 --> 00:49:52,078
- Thanks for having us, sir.
- It's a pleasure.
609
00:49:52,289 --> 00:49:53,984
- Mr. President.
- Huh?
610
00:49:54,791 --> 00:49:55,849
Call him Mr. President.
611
00:49:57,894 --> 00:49:59,691
It's an honor, Mr. President.
612
00:49:59,863 --> 00:50:01,922
It's an honor to meet you, Bud.
May I call you Bud?
613
00:50:02,032 --> 00:50:04,091
Yes, Mr. President.
614
00:50:04,534 --> 00:50:05,432
Come on in, come on.
615
00:50:07,771 --> 00:50:08,499
God, this...
616
00:50:09,706 --> 00:50:12,504
This place
is it's really something!
617
00:50:14,378 --> 00:50:16,073
It's my little home in the sky.
618
00:50:16,780 --> 00:50:20,546
It's kinda,
like a trailer with wings.
619
00:50:21,451 --> 00:50:22,645
Fine analogy, Bud.
620
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,089
Molly, I saw your speech
on TV the other night.
621
00:50:26,289 --> 00:50:27,278
Very impressive!
622
00:50:28,925 --> 00:50:31,995
- Say thank you, baby.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
623
00:50:31,995 --> 00:50:33,826
- You must be a very proud father.
- Yes, sir.
624
00:50:35,565 --> 00:50:39,501
God, I'm sorry.
Mr. President.
625
00:50:41,038 --> 00:50:44,408
You can see why she's definitely
the brains of our operation.
626
00:50:44,408 --> 00:50:46,842
I know what you mean.
We all need a Molly.
627
00:50:47,277 --> 00:50:49,108
Marty here, is my Molly.
628
00:50:49,379 --> 00:50:53,750
That's right. Molly,
I bet a smart kid like you...
629
00:50:53,750 --> 00:50:55,445
would love to see the war room.
630
00:50:56,386 --> 00:50:57,454
No, thanks.
631
00:50:57,454 --> 00:51:01,151
Why don't we have a peek and then your
dad and the President can have a talk.
632
00:51:01,224 --> 00:51:04,193
Go on, Honey.
Daddy has to talk to the President.
633
00:51:07,597 --> 00:51:08,962
She's a firecracker!
634
00:51:09,032 --> 00:51:11,933
Yes, sir, she's the whole deal!
635
00:51:13,370 --> 00:51:15,838
I wouldn't mind seeing
the war room, Mr. President.
636
00:51:16,540 --> 00:51:20,271
I'll show it to you later.
And please, call me Andy.
637
00:51:21,645 --> 00:51:22,577
- Andy?
- Yeah.
638
00:51:24,981 --> 00:51:27,617
Are you sure,
that-that other guy...
639
00:51:27,617 --> 00:51:30,177
I know, things can get
a little formal around here.
640
00:51:30,454 --> 00:51:32,922
Commander in Chief, running
the country and all that. Please.
641
00:51:33,423 --> 00:51:36,017
I am just an ordinary man,
like you...
642
00:51:36,393 --> 00:51:38,156
The kinda guy you can sit down
and have a beer with.
643
00:51:39,229 --> 00:51:40,560
Would you like a beer, Bud?
644
00:51:44,367 --> 00:51:44,958
A beer?
645
00:51:48,371 --> 00:51:49,065
No shit?
646
00:51:49,773 --> 00:51:50,535
No shit.
647
00:51:52,342 --> 00:51:53,331
Well, then...
648
00:51:54,678 --> 00:51:57,408
- Yes. Hell, yeah, Andy.
- Okay!
649
00:51:57,814 --> 00:51:59,748
David, would you get us
a couple of beers, please?
650
00:51:59,916 --> 00:52:02,043
- Thank you very much.
- So...
651
00:52:02,619 --> 00:52:05,452
you're gonna have some
story to tell your friends.
652
00:52:08,158 --> 00:52:12,356
I read about you in the paper.
They say you've never lost an election.
653
00:52:12,896 --> 00:52:16,423
That's right. You can learn
a lot from reading the newspaper.
654
00:52:17,234 --> 00:52:21,295
They also said that you don't
believe in anything anymore.
655
00:52:22,172 --> 00:52:24,003
Even if it meant
selling your mother's soul.
656
00:52:24,074 --> 00:52:27,669
No, see, no, see that's libelous,
Because my mother is a wonderful...
657
00:52:27,844 --> 00:52:30,972
wonderful, wonderful woman.
658
00:52:44,561 --> 00:52:46,324
If you met my mother,
you'd understand.
659
00:52:48,431 --> 00:52:49,625
You a football fan, Bud?
660
00:52:50,834 --> 00:52:54,361
Well, I'm an American, aren't I?
661
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,264
I played a little in high school.
662
00:52:58,775 --> 00:53:00,106
Did you now? What position?
663
00:53:00,243 --> 00:53:01,232
I was quarterback.
664
00:53:01,678 --> 00:53:06,377
I always thought football was
a strategic game. A lot like diplomacy.
665
00:53:06,449 --> 00:53:10,120
You got your offense, your defense,
the President is like your quarterback...
666
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,587
and the American voters...
667
00:53:12,389 --> 00:53:15,290
Well... they're like the coach.
668
00:53:17,227 --> 00:53:18,626
Never thought of it that way.
669
00:53:18,695 --> 00:53:20,297
Now the coach's job
is to make sure...
670
00:53:20,297 --> 00:53:24,358
that the right man has
the football at the critical time.
671
00:53:24,901 --> 00:53:26,869
I know exactly what you mean,
Andy.
672
00:53:27,771 --> 00:53:28,499
Do you?
673
00:53:31,341 --> 00:53:32,239
Maybe not.
674
00:53:36,046 --> 00:53:37,206
Bring in the football, please.
675
00:53:40,584 --> 00:53:41,050
Bud.
676
00:53:43,787 --> 00:53:44,845
You wanna hold the football?
677
00:53:46,556 --> 00:53:47,682
There's a football in there?
678
00:53:52,996 --> 00:53:55,021
That case holds
the launch codes...
679
00:53:55,565 --> 00:53:57,396
to America's nuclear arsenal.
680
00:53:58,868 --> 00:54:00,301
That's what
this election's all about.
681
00:54:01,571 --> 00:54:06,599
Launch codes like...
missiles and shit?
682
00:54:06,676 --> 00:54:10,112
I want you to pretend
that America is a team...
683
00:54:11,047 --> 00:54:13,379
- and you're the coach.
- Okay.
684
00:54:13,450 --> 00:54:17,153
Let's say it's the 4th quarter. We've
got possession, but we're down by five.
685
00:54:17,153 --> 00:54:19,589
North Korea has us pinned
in our own fifteenth line...
686
00:54:19,589 --> 00:54:24,526
with one second on the dooms day clock.
What are you doing to do?
687
00:54:24,694 --> 00:54:29,757
Okay, you go long. The only thing
standing between victory and defeat...
688
00:54:30,267 --> 00:54:32,462
is a successful Hail Mary.
One play.
689
00:54:33,236 --> 00:54:34,794
Who are you
gonna give the ball to, Bud?
690
00:54:34,871 --> 00:54:38,208
Do you pin your hopes on some
liberal second string quarterback...
691
00:54:38,208 --> 00:54:41,439
who hasn't had five minutes
in the big show? Of course you don't.
692
00:54:43,513 --> 00:54:44,844
You do the smart thing.
693
00:54:45,482 --> 00:54:49,085
The only thing. You go
with your strongest arm, the man...
694
00:54:49,085 --> 00:54:51,019
who's carried you through the season,
who's never let you down.
695
00:54:57,193 --> 00:54:59,661
Bud, America's counting on you.
696
00:55:00,230 --> 00:55:03,859
Yes, sir.
I'm not gonna let them down.
697
00:55:04,401 --> 00:55:05,265
But, here.
698
00:55:08,171 --> 00:55:10,639
Wouldn't want to drop
the old football.
699
00:55:11,508 --> 00:55:12,873
Blow up France or something.
700
00:55:14,277 --> 00:55:15,011
You couldn't.
701
00:55:15,011 --> 00:55:19,641
There's a whole bunch of secret
codes and these special little keys.
702
00:55:20,183 --> 00:55:20,842
Here's to you!
703
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,551
Look at all... Look at all
this stuff they give us, Molly.
704
00:55:27,190 --> 00:55:30,626
They give us the same shampoo
that the President uses.
705
00:55:31,027 --> 00:55:31,994
Great.
706
00:55:37,634 --> 00:55:39,761
So, what did you guys talk about?
707
00:55:43,173 --> 00:55:45,334
- Stuff.
- What stuff?
708
00:55:45,608 --> 00:55:46,632
You know...
709
00:55:48,411 --> 00:55:49,503
grown up stuff.
710
00:55:49,846 --> 00:55:50,835
Like?
711
00:55:52,015 --> 00:55:53,175
Like...
712
00:55:57,754 --> 00:55:58,379
Bud!
713
00:56:00,190 --> 00:56:01,384
What stuff?
714
00:56:01,458 --> 00:56:04,586
Like grown up stuff.
You know, coaching. Football.
715
00:56:05,161 --> 00:56:06,924
Geothermal nuclear war.
716
00:56:09,499 --> 00:56:11,899
Andy's, a great... great guy.
717
00:56:11,968 --> 00:56:15,495
He's not Andy.
He's the President of the United States.
718
00:56:15,638 --> 00:56:16,798
And he just wants your vote.
719
00:56:17,574 --> 00:56:20,099
And gee, guess what?
He's gonna get it.
720
00:56:20,210 --> 00:56:21,837
It's not even yours to give!
721
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:24,139
You're gonna...
722
00:56:27,050 --> 00:56:28,449
ruin everything.
723
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,484
Andy, the President,
invited me to watch the game...
724
00:56:32,655 --> 00:56:34,290
- with him on Monday night.
- That's a bribe!
725
00:56:34,290 --> 00:56:36,315
That's not a bribe.
726
00:56:36,393 --> 00:56:37,519
- Is too.
- It is not.
727
00:56:37,594 --> 00:56:38,822
- Is too.
- It is not.
728
00:56:38,895 --> 00:56:41,261
- Is too!
- Is not! What it is, "too"?
729
00:56:42,632 --> 00:56:44,667
- What the hell do you know?
- More than you.
730
00:56:44,667 --> 00:56:45,769
- You do not.
- Do too.
731
00:56:45,769 --> 00:56:47,532
- You do not.
- Do too.
732
00:56:51,441 --> 00:56:53,033
- Fine.
- Fine.
733
00:56:59,182 --> 00:57:01,514
Did you smell
all the leather on that plane?
734
00:57:07,724 --> 00:57:10,318
If I made you feel second best
735
00:57:12,228 --> 00:57:14,526
I'm sorry I was blind
736
00:57:15,432 --> 00:57:17,332
No, baby, leave it, leave it.
That's Willie.
737
00:57:19,602 --> 00:57:22,127
You were always on my mind
738
00:57:25,909 --> 00:57:27,043
Hi, I'm Willie Nelson.
739
00:57:27,043 --> 00:57:30,171
And when I'm not performing,
I'm usually getting involved.
740
00:57:30,580 --> 00:57:33,674
Hey, Bud, if you're out there
and you're watching...
741
00:57:34,083 --> 00:57:35,516
He's talking to us!
742
00:57:35,585 --> 00:57:39,456
There's a special dinner,
especially for you in your honor...
743
00:57:39,456 --> 00:57:45,122
hosted by my good friend and
Presidential candidate Donald Greenleaf.
744
00:57:45,361 --> 00:57:47,761
- I'll see you here tonight.
- I'll do it, Willie!
745
00:57:50,767 --> 00:57:52,632
This is really getting weird.
746
00:58:20,663 --> 00:58:22,198
Democrat or a Republican?
747
00:58:22,198 --> 00:58:25,634
I'm Art Crumb,
Donald Greenleaf's campaign manager.
748
00:58:25,902 --> 00:58:27,699
- Nice to meet you.
- Same here.
749
00:58:28,071 --> 00:58:33,008
You must be Molly. Quite an essay.
You have a future in politics one day.
750
00:58:33,343 --> 00:58:35,174
You might too. One day.
751
00:58:38,181 --> 00:58:38,909
Shall we go in?
752
00:58:41,818 --> 00:58:43,786
Not too hard to be nice,
come on.
753
00:58:44,587 --> 00:58:46,384
Party. Party!
754
00:58:47,290 --> 00:58:50,054
Right this way...
make yourselves at home.
755
00:58:52,729 --> 00:58:53,195
Hello.
756
00:58:53,663 --> 00:58:55,893
As you can see,
we've got a lovely buffet.
757
00:58:56,065 --> 00:58:57,396
Would you like a bud, Bud?
758
00:58:59,269 --> 00:58:59,894
Sure.
759
00:59:01,137 --> 00:59:05,233
Look at that.
You got chipped meat on toast.
760
00:59:06,075 --> 00:59:07,474
My momma used
to make that for me.
761
00:59:08,177 --> 00:59:09,913
- No kidding?
- Yes.
762
00:59:09,913 --> 00:59:11,608
There's all you can eat.
763
00:59:12,148 --> 00:59:13,172
It's all in your honor.
764
00:59:13,550 --> 00:59:16,144
And there's all the Willie Nelson
you can listen to.
765
00:59:16,419 --> 00:59:18,216
I understand
you're an aficionado.
766
00:59:18,421 --> 00:59:22,221
Yes, sir, I was in an all Willie
tribute band for about five years.
767
00:59:22,525 --> 00:59:24,049
Called ourselves
The Half Nelsons.
768
00:59:24,961 --> 00:59:26,019
Only his songs?
769
00:59:26,329 --> 00:59:29,162
No other request.
But you know, I got my own stuff.
770
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,630
So, why don't you guys
do one of your songs tonight?
771
00:59:35,071 --> 00:59:39,474
I would but my rhythm
section's incarcerated.
772
00:59:40,310 --> 00:59:41,800
We've pulled a few strings.
773
00:59:42,011 --> 00:59:44,881
- Hey, Bud! Bud!
- Hey, boys!
774
00:59:44,881 --> 00:59:45,711
Come on up!
775
00:59:46,749 --> 00:59:47,773
They paying us?
776
00:59:47,850 --> 00:59:51,445
You really did, you got them out.
Thank you. Pull strings.
777
00:59:51,688 --> 00:59:56,682
Bud! Buddy, Buddy!
Buddy, look at me!
778
00:59:57,293 --> 01:00:01,696
Damn, Hank, you look good.
Just like prom.
779
01:00:03,232 --> 01:00:09,102
Thank you. Thank you, amigo.
This is the best day of my life.
780
01:00:13,142 --> 01:00:15,804
There's someone very
special I'd like you to meet.
781
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:19,076
Mr. Johnson!
782
01:00:24,487 --> 01:00:25,977
Donald Greenleaf.
783
01:00:26,189 --> 01:00:26,985
Too tight.
784
01:00:34,964 --> 01:00:37,262
Hell of a party you got here,
Mr. Greenleaf.
785
01:00:37,333 --> 01:00:41,167
Yes, sir. We democrats
are one hell of a party.
786
01:00:42,505 --> 01:00:43,597
Call me Don.
787
01:00:46,576 --> 01:00:47,543
Okay, Don.
788
01:00:49,145 --> 01:00:50,134
The stage awaits.
789
01:00:54,484 --> 01:00:55,815
Well, he said so, right?
790
01:01:23,146 --> 01:01:25,740
Pontiac, Pontiac
791
01:01:25,948 --> 01:01:28,849
Out there in my backyard.
792
01:01:28,951 --> 01:01:33,411
I'm gonna fix it up, paint it red
gonna make that engine go
793
01:01:38,194 --> 01:01:40,685
Chevrolet, Chevrolet
794
01:01:40,897 --> 01:01:43,491
Chevy year that running
Past fly, this and that
795
01:01:43,900 --> 01:01:49,202
Gonna make that engine go
You ready?
796
01:01:51,607 --> 01:01:56,067
They're all in my backyard
Them old cars
797
01:01:57,113 --> 01:01:59,315
I love everyone of them
798
01:01:59,315 --> 01:02:01,806
Molly?
You remember me?
799
01:02:03,052 --> 01:02:04,280
Hi, Ms. Madison.
800
01:02:05,788 --> 01:02:07,688
Don't worry,
I didn't bring a camera.
801
01:02:09,759 --> 01:02:12,887
I'm gonna get one running yet.
802
01:02:14,897 --> 01:02:19,095
All this craziness.
I don't know how you're doing it.
803
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,332
If you ever want to talk,
you call me anytime, okay?
804
01:02:28,010 --> 01:02:30,877
I'm gonna give you my card.
There you go.
805
01:02:34,250 --> 01:02:36,241
You want an interview
with Bud, right?
806
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:39,017
I'd like him to think about it.
807
01:02:43,226 --> 01:02:43,920
Okay.
808
01:02:44,494 --> 01:02:47,327
I'll get one running yet
809
01:02:50,700 --> 01:02:52,725
I'll get one running yet
810
01:02:56,105 --> 01:02:58,437
I'll get one running yet
811
01:03:06,082 --> 01:03:09,051
I'll get one running yet
812
01:03:12,355 --> 01:03:14,653
I'll get one running yet
813
01:03:25,701 --> 01:03:27,328
Bud! You're the man!
814
01:03:31,774 --> 01:03:34,675
Well... I like you, Bud.
815
01:03:35,111 --> 01:03:38,478
You seem to be a real
genuine sort of guy.
816
01:03:38,548 --> 01:03:39,378
Thanks, Don.
817
01:03:39,649 --> 01:03:42,140
Tell me about yourself.
You got any hobbies?
818
01:03:42,919 --> 01:03:43,851
Just...
819
01:03:45,388 --> 01:03:46,753
just fishing.
820
01:03:50,159 --> 01:03:51,524
You're a fellow angler!
821
01:03:52,895 --> 01:03:54,294
What kind of rod do you use?
822
01:03:54,530 --> 01:03:59,194
Well, I use a six and a half foot
graphite Johnny Morris signature series.
823
01:04:00,236 --> 01:04:00,725
Heavy?
824
01:04:02,004 --> 01:04:02,868
Medium heavy.
825
01:04:03,739 --> 01:04:06,435
Bait catching reel,
twelve pound test.
826
01:04:08,311 --> 01:04:09,073
Don't tell me.
827
01:04:09,779 --> 01:04:13,408
Seven inch power grub,
purple shaky worm.
828
01:04:15,251 --> 01:04:19,210
Yes, sir! Damn, he, he,
you know your equipment!
829
01:04:19,422 --> 01:04:21,219
I figured you for a bass man.
830
01:04:21,457 --> 01:04:22,481
Well, I...
831
01:04:22,658 --> 01:04:25,058
try to take Molly out
as much as I can.
832
01:04:25,228 --> 01:04:27,992
We caught a two dinner stripe
on the Pecos just the other day.
833
01:04:28,931 --> 01:04:30,592
I'm sorry to hear that, Bud.
834
01:04:31,701 --> 01:04:32,360
Why?
835
01:04:32,668 --> 01:04:37,105
There's a bill in the House
targeting the Pecos River for...
836
01:04:38,107 --> 01:04:39,165
reallocation.
837
01:04:42,445 --> 01:04:43,673
You lost me there.
838
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,680
That's where a big
corporation builds a dam.
839
01:04:47,116 --> 01:04:50,483
Limits the flow of water, the fish
can't get to their spawning grounds...
840
01:04:50,953 --> 01:04:53,319
eventually the whole
population dies off.
841
01:04:55,491 --> 01:05:00,053
That sucks, because I've been
fishing there my whole life.
842
01:05:00,396 --> 01:05:03,699
You'd better look for another river,
because President Boone has received...
843
01:05:03,699 --> 01:05:06,964
ten million dollars in contributions
from the energy company...
844
01:05:07,136 --> 01:05:09,468
and he's got to pay
them back somehow.
845
01:05:10,373 --> 01:05:14,867
Come on, now. Come on,
Andy wouldn't do that.
846
01:05:15,311 --> 01:05:18,246
He already did, Bud.
He already did.
847
01:05:20,516 --> 01:05:22,279
Okay. Can't you do something?
848
01:05:22,652 --> 01:05:24,119
If I'm elected President.
849
01:05:34,630 --> 01:05:35,119
What?
850
01:05:35,665 --> 01:05:38,099
No, tell me
exactly what was said.
851
01:05:39,969 --> 01:05:44,338
It's my commitment to protect
the wild places in this country...
852
01:05:44,707 --> 01:05:46,106
for future generations.
853
01:05:46,742 --> 01:05:48,539
And I'm not going
to stop there, Bud.
854
01:05:49,512 --> 01:05:52,106
With your help,
my administration...
855
01:05:52,315 --> 01:05:54,840
will be a leader
in environmental protections.
856
01:06:12,635 --> 01:06:13,863
My fellow Americans...
857
01:06:14,403 --> 01:06:19,534
I give you, the Pecos River
National Wildlife Preserve!
858
01:06:33,789 --> 01:06:37,486
And what can only be characterized
as a complete policy reversal...
859
01:06:37,593 --> 01:06:41,222
the President has surely
alienated his corporate donors...
860
01:06:41,297 --> 01:06:44,061
by adopting
a pro-environment stance.
861
01:06:44,467 --> 01:06:46,369
Bud and Molly Johnson
were on hand today...
862
01:06:46,369 --> 01:06:48,030
We are the environmental party!
863
01:06:49,372 --> 01:06:51,340
Those bastards
stole our platform.
864
01:06:52,141 --> 01:06:55,344
Put the PR people on standby.
865
01:06:55,344 --> 01:06:58,313
- You want Spiegelman Fischer?
- Too high brow.
866
01:06:58,614 --> 01:07:01,139
- What about those iPod guys?
- No, Larry, too urban.
867
01:07:03,319 --> 01:07:05,412
Get the guys
who do those Miller Lite spots.
868
01:07:05,488 --> 01:07:07,683
The ones with those girls
wrestling in the fountain.
869
01:07:08,057 --> 01:07:09,319
I don't know, Mr. Crumb.
870
01:07:09,392 --> 01:07:11,917
I like the narrator's voice.
His cadence.
871
01:07:13,362 --> 01:07:14,158
Just call them.
872
01:07:14,497 --> 01:07:18,000
Galena hates those ads, Artie,
she says they send the wrong message.
873
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,969
Your wife's not our target demographic,
that son of a bitch is.
874
01:07:23,672 --> 01:07:24,536
Great.
875
01:07:26,409 --> 01:07:28,502
He's got the Secret Service
running flight patterns!
876
01:07:34,950 --> 01:07:39,478
All we need is an issue
that matters to this guy.
877
01:07:39,722 --> 01:07:41,587
One issue, one man...
878
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:44,888
one vote.
879
01:07:49,198 --> 01:07:50,290
Boy.
880
01:07:55,337 --> 01:07:56,167
I already own it.
881
01:07:56,972 --> 01:07:59,372
Alright, I'm gonna buy a hotel.
882
01:08:06,582 --> 01:08:09,915
Hi, there.
I've got a delivery for Bud Johnson.
883
01:08:10,619 --> 01:08:11,244
From who?
884
01:08:12,955 --> 01:08:13,853
From everyone.
885
01:08:37,079 --> 01:08:39,570
Tell me,
what drives Bud Johnson?
886
01:08:42,751 --> 01:08:46,243
Right now,
an '89 Chevy Silverado.
887
01:08:47,790 --> 01:08:51,191
You don't have to lift that up.
If you leave it, it's probably better.
888
01:08:51,260 --> 01:08:54,196
- This thing is getting away from you.
- I'm doing the best I can.
889
01:08:54,196 --> 01:08:57,500
Do better! I thought you wanted
to get out of this shithole town!
890
01:08:57,500 --> 01:08:58,967
I want to get out the facts!
891
01:09:01,604 --> 01:09:03,868
You hear that? The clicking.
892
01:09:04,440 --> 01:09:05,805
Click, click.
893
01:09:06,575 --> 01:09:10,511
The sound of a million remote controls
changing the channel on your ass.
894
01:09:10,713 --> 01:09:12,647
Click equals death!
895
01:09:13,048 --> 01:09:16,285
You got to get people a reason to watch.
This is the prime time news.
896
01:09:16,285 --> 01:09:18,378
The key word, being new!
897
01:09:19,255 --> 01:09:22,383
Find me something.
You just got taken down by Mary Hart!
898
01:09:23,259 --> 01:09:28,364
Bud, in looking at it, is there
any issue in particular that...
899
01:09:28,364 --> 01:09:29,922
has touched you personally?
900
01:09:31,300 --> 01:09:34,929
Yeah, yeah, insourcing.
901
01:09:35,437 --> 01:09:37,098
You mean, outsourcing.
902
01:09:37,273 --> 01:09:39,298
No, I mean in.
903
01:09:39,775 --> 01:09:41,810
- Can you elaborate?
- Yeah, well...
904
01:09:41,810 --> 01:09:45,871
where I used to work, there's a bunch
of guys I know, they got laid off.
905
01:09:46,815 --> 01:09:51,053
Instead of sending our jobs,
losing our jobs to Mexico...
906
01:09:51,053 --> 01:09:53,578
they're bringing
in Mexicans to take our jobs.
907
01:09:55,858 --> 01:09:57,052
And we're out.
908
01:09:57,726 --> 01:10:01,030
Wait a minute, could I say that again?
I don't think that came out right.
909
01:10:01,030 --> 01:10:02,292
That came out great.
910
01:10:03,365 --> 01:10:04,923
That came out very well,
Mr. Johnson.
911
01:10:06,202 --> 01:10:08,397
Very authentic.
Central casting?
912
01:10:08,837 --> 01:10:09,929
Border patrol?
913
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,274
So, they're actual
undocumented workers?
914
01:10:14,977 --> 01:10:17,104
We prefer undocumented actors.
915
01:10:19,248 --> 01:10:21,682
Alright, rehearsal's up,
back it into one please!
916
01:10:27,590 --> 01:10:30,218
But we courted
the Pro-Immigrant movement.
917
01:10:30,359 --> 01:10:34,420
Inclusiveness is the foundation
of our party. It's our base!
918
01:10:34,496 --> 01:10:37,954
We no longer have a base.
Bud Johnson's our base.
919
01:10:38,167 --> 01:10:40,465
I don't even recognize
myself anymore.
920
01:10:41,303 --> 01:10:43,294
And what about...
Rainbow House?
921
01:10:43,505 --> 01:10:46,770
Screw!
This guy cares about immigration.
922
01:10:47,142 --> 01:10:50,305
You wanna win? Go out there and rip
the Statue of Liberty a new one!
923
01:10:51,113 --> 01:10:52,444
And action!
924
01:10:53,082 --> 01:10:56,785
Bud, in the last four years,
President Boone...
925
01:10:56,785 --> 01:11:00,881
has allowed millions of illegal
aliens to cross the border...
926
01:11:00,956 --> 01:11:04,983
Flooding cities like Los Angeles,
New York and Texico.
927
01:11:05,127 --> 01:11:09,531
With your help, Bud, my administration
will mend our broken borders...
928
01:11:09,531 --> 01:11:11,465
and stop insourcing.
929
01:11:11,834 --> 01:11:14,803
A vote for Greenleaf
is a vote for America...
930
01:11:15,271 --> 01:11:18,399
An America
where Americans come first.
931
01:11:18,540 --> 01:11:22,601
This land is our land, Bud.
Help me keep it that way.
932
01:11:25,047 --> 01:11:28,847
Dear Tommy, I was very moved
by the letter from your 6th grade class.
933
01:11:29,285 --> 01:11:31,719
Global warming
is a serious issue...
934
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:35,557
and I promise to make it a top priority
in my discussions with the candidates.
935
01:11:35,557 --> 01:11:38,321
"Dear Mrs. Anderson,
thank you for your letter.
936
01:11:38,594 --> 01:11:43,032
I am doing everything I can to press
the candidates about health insurance."
937
01:11:43,032 --> 01:11:46,490
"Dear Mr. Olsen, I sympathize
with your fears about job security.
938
01:11:46,568 --> 01:11:49,196
I promise you,
I will not ignore the issues...
939
01:11:49,271 --> 01:11:52,672
Education, veterans,
the economy...
940
01:11:53,075 --> 01:11:55,407
health care, the environment.
941
01:11:56,478 --> 01:12:00,414
I am working tirelessly.
I'm doing everything I can.
942
01:12:00,783 --> 01:12:04,651
Sincerely,
Earnest Bud Johnson."
943
01:12:35,150 --> 01:12:35,673
Now!
944
01:12:37,886 --> 01:12:38,375
Now!
945
01:12:39,421 --> 01:12:40,718
Oh, my God! Don!
946
01:12:41,090 --> 01:12:42,523
The goose is down!
947
01:12:44,259 --> 01:12:45,226
How many fingers?
948
01:12:46,895 --> 01:12:49,693
America wants to know
what it's like to be Bud Johnson.
949
01:12:51,133 --> 01:12:52,259
It doesn't suck.
950
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:53,531
Come on!
951
01:12:53,702 --> 01:12:56,796
I've heard you've received
marriage proposals in the mail, true?
952
01:12:57,039 --> 01:13:01,499
Yeah, you can tell
that Miss September...
953
01:13:02,344 --> 01:13:05,973
that
I'm weighing my options.
954
01:13:06,181 --> 01:13:07,478
Hurry up, Bud!
955
01:13:07,683 --> 01:13:10,550
People Magazine named you
the Sexiest Man of the Year.
956
01:13:10,886 --> 01:13:13,980
Yeah? Well, what can I say?
957
01:13:15,290 --> 01:13:16,621
Guilty as charged!
958
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:19,288
These people!
959
01:13:19,361 --> 01:13:22,592
Molly, what do you think of your Dad?
What do you think?
960
01:13:33,709 --> 01:13:38,908
Go ahead, go on. Stick your head up
with that little camera. You turd!
961
01:13:42,017 --> 01:13:44,212
Bud... Bud!
962
01:13:44,620 --> 01:13:46,588
- Freeze!
- Stop.
963
01:13:47,523 --> 01:13:48,148
Stop.
964
01:13:49,892 --> 01:13:50,415
Stop!
965
01:13:51,860 --> 01:13:56,320
Come on, Molly? It's just chocolate.
From the gun people.
966
01:13:56,899 --> 01:13:58,924
- I fixed you bacon and eggs.
- You did?
967
01:13:59,635 --> 01:14:00,369
That's nice!
968
01:14:00,369 --> 01:14:03,395
- I want you to look nice.
- What's the occasion?
969
01:14:03,939 --> 01:14:05,668
There's someone
I think you should talk to.
970
01:14:06,208 --> 01:14:06,697
Sit.
971
01:14:08,243 --> 01:14:11,940
She's different than all the others.
I think her heart's in the right place.
972
01:14:12,247 --> 01:14:15,080
I want you to try not to say
anything embarrassing, okay?
973
01:14:16,218 --> 01:14:17,947
- To who?
- Ms. Madison.
974
01:14:19,788 --> 01:14:21,983
- The TV woman?
- She's outside.
975
01:14:22,891 --> 01:14:25,121
- She's outside?
- Yes. In the kitchen.
976
01:14:26,295 --> 01:14:28,160
- She's in our kitchen?
- Yes.
977
01:14:29,631 --> 01:14:31,565
Just try and be normal.
978
01:14:33,168 --> 01:14:34,157
Do I smell?
979
01:14:34,937 --> 01:14:40,000
Then, give me the Old Spice.
God darn it! I was just having some fun!
980
01:14:46,748 --> 01:14:48,477
Molly, these eggs are amazing.
981
01:14:49,418 --> 01:14:51,545
Yes, they sure are.
982
01:14:52,488 --> 01:14:53,147
Thanks.
983
01:14:58,427 --> 01:14:59,257
Well...
984
01:15:00,762 --> 01:15:02,957
I like this new look on you.
985
01:15:03,232 --> 01:15:05,996
It's good, isn't it?
Professional.
986
01:15:06,335 --> 01:15:09,202
Yeah, its damn good.
987
01:15:10,639 --> 01:15:15,076
Anyway, Bud, I was thinking about
interviewing you over the next days.
988
01:15:15,544 --> 01:15:17,478
Get to know you
and your thoughts.
989
01:15:18,580 --> 01:15:21,879
Think people really care
about my thoughts?
990
01:15:21,984 --> 01:15:24,509
I really do considering
the choice you're about to make.
991
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:29,424
Did you say
you went to Texico High?
992
01:15:29,424 --> 01:15:32,416
She did.
Only her name was Morales.
993
01:15:33,128 --> 01:15:33,924
Morales?
994
01:15:36,732 --> 01:15:42,568
You're kidding.
One of Bobby Morales little sisters?
995
01:15:42,638 --> 01:15:44,401
Yeah, that's me.
996
01:15:45,207 --> 01:15:46,469
Small world!
997
01:15:46,675 --> 01:15:50,111
Small town.
Then, Bud, are you ready?
998
01:15:51,013 --> 01:15:51,741
It's a good time?
999
01:15:53,081 --> 01:15:54,605
Yeah, go ahead, shoot.
1000
01:16:08,964 --> 01:16:09,692
Thanks, Bud.
1001
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,867
Why don't we get started
with your opinion of gay marriage.
1002
01:16:14,937 --> 01:16:18,100
Shit! Do we have to?
1003
01:16:18,173 --> 01:16:21,540
- So, you're against it.
- I... no, I didn't say that.
1004
01:16:21,877 --> 01:16:23,504
Then, what is your position?
1005
01:16:23,879 --> 01:16:28,316
I don't have a position on it. Actually,
I don't give a rat's ass about it.
1006
01:16:29,017 --> 01:16:32,783
My daddy always said whatever a king
does in his castle is his business.
1007
01:16:32,955 --> 01:16:37,016
I guess the same can go
for two queens.
1008
01:16:42,698 --> 01:16:46,759
I'm President Boone, and I'd like
you to meet a few friends of mine.
1009
01:16:47,402 --> 01:16:49,962
They're our doctors,
and our peace officers.
1010
01:16:50,405 --> 01:16:53,704
They teach our children,
they serve nobly in our armed forces.
1011
01:16:53,875 --> 01:16:56,078
For two long,
homosexual Americans...
1012
01:16:56,078 --> 01:16:58,103
have been persecuted
by the country they love.
1013
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:03,913
This President, if re-elected,
will implement the open door initiative.
1014
01:17:04,419 --> 01:17:09,254
Gay Americans alike will be able
to proudly step out of the closet...
1015
01:17:09,391 --> 01:17:14,488
and on to the alter, to exchange the
sacred vows enjoyed by the rest of us.
1016
01:17:15,097 --> 01:17:19,501
Bud, With your help,
this Republican administration...
1017
01:17:19,501 --> 01:17:22,800
will say, I do.
To gay marriage.
1018
01:17:23,805 --> 01:17:24,669
I do.
1019
01:17:27,576 --> 01:17:28,270
I do.
1020
01:17:28,910 --> 01:17:29,842
I do!
1021
01:17:30,445 --> 01:17:31,537
I do.
1022
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:32,612
I do!
1023
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:35,410
I do!
1024
01:17:40,656 --> 01:17:42,988
- I did it!
- That 'a way, baby!
1025
01:17:44,593 --> 01:17:47,892
When we were kids, this was the only
thing to do on the weekends.
1026
01:17:49,831 --> 01:17:50,729
Still is.
1027
01:18:02,644 --> 01:18:03,838
Well done, Bud.
1028
01:18:04,746 --> 01:18:05,303
See?
1029
01:18:06,181 --> 01:18:07,739
Let's get to some real issues.
1030
01:18:09,518 --> 01:18:10,143
Okay.
1031
01:18:10,752 --> 01:18:14,415
Pro-life or pro-choice?
Where do you stand?
1032
01:18:16,525 --> 01:18:17,753
Well...
1033
01:18:19,828 --> 01:18:23,628
Life's pretty good.
Right about now.
1034
01:18:24,032 --> 01:18:25,329
So, you're pro-life then?
1035
01:18:28,870 --> 01:18:29,666
Who isn't?
1036
01:18:32,474 --> 01:18:32,997
Artie.
1037
01:18:36,144 --> 01:18:37,668
- Artie.
- What?
1038
01:18:38,513 --> 01:18:42,884
I don't feel comfortable with this.
We're headed in the wrong direction.
1039
01:18:42,884 --> 01:18:44,215
No, it's gonna be great.
1040
01:18:44,419 --> 01:18:46,216
- Artie.
- And action! Action!
1041
01:18:46,388 --> 01:18:47,753
And action, Donald!
1042
01:18:52,627 --> 01:18:53,821
What is our future?
1043
01:18:54,296 --> 01:18:56,389
I'll tell you what our future is.
1044
01:18:56,932 --> 01:19:00,168
Children like these,
like your daughter, Bud.
1045
01:19:00,168 --> 01:19:03,262
Happy, free, full of promise.
1046
01:19:04,339 --> 01:19:08,605
But imagine a world
without all this joyous laughter.
1047
01:19:09,377 --> 01:19:11,038
I'm talking about abortion.
1048
01:19:11,613 --> 01:19:14,649
President Boone,
he claims he's pro-life.
1049
01:19:14,649 --> 01:19:16,151
But yet under his leadership...
1050
01:19:16,151 --> 01:19:20,349
no significant challenge has been
leveled against Roe versus Wade.
1051
01:19:20,489 --> 01:19:23,358
With your help, Bud,
the Greenleaf administration...
1052
01:19:23,358 --> 01:19:28,261
will lead a genuine effort to reverse
this inhumane court decision.
1053
01:19:28,497 --> 01:19:33,093
So, join me and the Democrats
as we preserve all life...
1054
01:19:34,202 --> 01:19:37,729
That's for filling
God's intelligent design.
1055
01:19:38,206 --> 01:19:41,107
I'm Donald Greenleaf
and I approve this message.
1056
01:19:41,376 --> 01:19:43,139
That don't seem right.
1057
01:19:44,045 --> 01:19:46,843
He's only saying that because
you said you didn't like abortion.
1058
01:19:47,015 --> 01:19:48,880
Yeah, but I didn't say that.
1059
01:19:49,117 --> 01:19:51,017
You told that you were pro-life.
1060
01:19:52,587 --> 01:19:53,212
So what?
1061
01:19:53,288 --> 01:19:57,281
Pro-life means anti-abortion.
Roe versus Wade? Hello!
1062
01:19:57,993 --> 01:19:59,153
This isn't working.
1063
01:19:59,661 --> 01:20:02,459
I thought would help,
but it's just worse.
1064
01:20:02,531 --> 01:20:04,465
You're the one
that wanted me to talk to her.
1065
01:20:04,533 --> 01:20:07,661
I thought you might like her.
She's smart, and nice...
1066
01:20:07,803 --> 01:20:09,896
not like the other women
you spend time with.
1067
01:20:13,575 --> 01:20:15,270
Which women would those be, Molly?
1068
01:20:15,744 --> 01:20:17,439
The ones that dance, Bud.
1069
01:20:19,214 --> 01:20:21,045
Well, at least they got jobs.
1070
01:20:23,618 --> 01:20:25,518
It's all getting
turned upside down now.
1071
01:20:26,054 --> 01:20:28,682
What's all getting
turned upside down?
1072
01:20:29,758 --> 01:20:31,487
You're ruining America!
1073
01:20:32,227 --> 01:20:34,821
- I'm what?
- You're ruining EUA!
1074
01:20:34,896 --> 01:20:36,932
- I'm ruining EUA?
- Yes!
1075
01:20:36,932 --> 01:20:37,455
What?
1076
01:20:38,900 --> 01:20:42,704
What I finally am
is having a little good luck...
1077
01:20:42,704 --> 01:20:44,467
and you're giving me
shit about it!
1078
01:20:48,443 --> 01:20:50,536
You know what all this means
for someone like me?
1079
01:20:51,947 --> 01:20:54,616
I had dreams once.
Maybe it weren't this...
1080
01:20:54,616 --> 01:20:57,676
but I was in the fifth grade,
so I had them.
1081
01:20:59,054 --> 01:20:59,748
And now...
1082
01:21:02,057 --> 01:21:05,390
I pretty much been headed on a road
for being a nobody and now that...
1083
01:21:05,460 --> 01:21:09,692
I am a somebody, you can't stand
that I'm getting a little attention.
1084
01:21:11,199 --> 01:21:12,996
- A little?
- Yeah, a little.
1085
01:21:14,269 --> 01:21:15,896
Maybe I'll tell the truth, Bud.
1086
01:21:16,738 --> 01:21:17,898
- The truth?
- Yes.
1087
01:21:19,674 --> 01:21:21,198
The truth about what?
1088
01:21:21,843 --> 01:21:25,609
Maybe I'll tell everybody it was me
who tried to vote while you got drunk!
1089
01:21:25,981 --> 01:21:28,245
I don't care if they
take me away from you.
1090
01:21:28,316 --> 01:21:29,908
Molly... Hey, Molly!
1091
01:21:32,187 --> 01:21:33,347
Leave me alone.
1092
01:21:39,794 --> 01:21:41,694
- Fine.
- Fine.
1093
01:21:44,232 --> 01:21:44,857
Fine.
1094
01:22:37,285 --> 01:22:38,183
Could you sign it?
1095
01:22:40,221 --> 01:22:41,381
Sure thing, Curly.
1096
01:22:44,492 --> 01:22:48,952
Hey, Bud... did you give
the President's butt a kiss from us?
1097
01:22:54,135 --> 01:22:55,363
You got something to say,
Walt?
1098
01:22:57,839 --> 01:23:01,673
It's not just me, Bud. No one
likes what you done to this town.
1099
01:23:02,077 --> 01:23:03,977
What's gonna happen
after you vote?
1100
01:23:04,312 --> 01:23:08,214
Everyone's gonna pack up and leave us
in the same shape as they found us.
1101
01:23:08,383 --> 01:23:10,681
Bud, you're on TVagain!
1102
01:23:13,388 --> 01:23:16,491
Hey, Bud, you're on TV again.
1103
01:23:16,491 --> 01:23:18,618
People have to stop saying
Bud Johnson is good for democracy.
1104
01:23:18,994 --> 01:23:21,986
He's made us the laughing
stock of the entire world.
1105
01:23:22,130 --> 01:23:25,800
The news media follows him around
like a bunch of paparazzi, because...
1106
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:28,132
we're more concerned
with his fifteen minutes of fame...
1107
01:23:28,303 --> 01:23:30,567
than we are with the choice
he's about to make.
1108
01:23:31,172 --> 01:23:33,163
Is anybody really
listening to this guy?
1109
01:23:34,042 --> 01:23:37,978
Wake up, America!
Bud Johnson, is a dumbass!
1110
01:23:56,264 --> 01:23:58,459
Your wife has just arrived,
Mr. Greenleaf.
1111
01:23:58,533 --> 01:24:00,262
Thank God! Good.
1112
01:24:01,269 --> 01:24:02,930
Please, don't upset him.
1113
01:24:03,471 --> 01:24:06,201
When did you get in?
I missed you so much!
1114
01:24:08,443 --> 01:24:10,741
You are letting this two
bit hack destroy you.
1115
01:24:11,413 --> 01:24:14,716
You are everything that
the Republicans accused you of being.
1116
01:24:14,716 --> 01:24:17,685
A spineless amateur.
Afraid to take a position.
1117
01:24:17,752 --> 01:24:19,811
I am not afraid
to take a position.
1118
01:24:21,256 --> 01:24:23,486
Okay, sometimes
I have second thoughts.
1119
01:24:23,758 --> 01:24:25,749
But what thinking person doesn't?
1120
01:24:25,860 --> 01:24:29,728
You used to stand for something.
Both of you.
1121
01:24:30,465 --> 01:24:31,261
Let her go.
1122
01:24:32,133 --> 01:24:33,828
What's happened to you, Art?
1123
01:24:34,335 --> 01:24:35,632
I'm gonna win this time.
1124
01:24:35,937 --> 01:24:38,506
You used to run campaigns
that meant something.
1125
01:24:38,506 --> 01:24:43,569
They would have meant something
if the candidates I backed had won!
1126
01:24:44,846 --> 01:24:49,180
You know what's like to be on the right
side of every issue on the theory stage?
1127
01:24:49,584 --> 01:24:51,848
The hope that rocks
with every loss?
1128
01:24:53,221 --> 01:24:56,088
Not this time. Never again.
1129
01:25:09,170 --> 01:25:10,933
Back to work! Everybody!
1130
01:25:16,811 --> 01:25:18,608
Look at that!
1131
01:25:19,047 --> 01:25:21,914
You burnt the hot dog,
just a little bit.
1132
01:25:22,417 --> 01:25:23,679
Just the way I like them!
1133
01:25:26,221 --> 01:25:27,654
- Bud?
- Yes?
1134
01:25:28,990 --> 01:25:32,926
I think we should ask
for a Presidential debate.
1135
01:25:35,196 --> 01:25:38,967
Come on! Can't we just talk
about something else for one night?
1136
01:25:38,967 --> 01:25:40,992
Just for a minute? Maybe?
1137
01:25:43,071 --> 01:25:45,665
What did you just say to me?
1138
01:25:46,841 --> 01:25:50,299
A Presidential debate.
Where you get to ask questions.
1139
01:25:50,478 --> 01:25:52,844
Please. Just stop.
1140
01:25:52,981 --> 01:25:55,347
It's important!
It could help you decide.
1141
01:25:55,416 --> 01:25:56,974
Help me decide.
1142
01:25:57,886 --> 01:25:59,354
Think about
what you're saying to me.
1143
01:25:59,354 --> 01:26:02,585
I have! You should read
all this mail you've been getting.
1144
01:26:03,057 --> 01:26:04,957
People are writing
to you for help.
1145
01:26:05,426 --> 01:26:07,519
People are writing me letters.
So what?
1146
01:26:08,029 --> 01:26:10,190
I can't help these people.
1147
01:26:12,133 --> 01:26:13,361
You can speak for them.
1148
01:26:17,739 --> 01:26:18,728
Will you do it for me?
1149
01:26:24,946 --> 01:26:27,744
I'm doing this all
because of you!
1150
01:26:32,754 --> 01:26:36,315
Confirmed, one Presidential debate
will occur this Wednesday night...
1151
01:26:36,791 --> 01:26:39,919
at which Mr. Johnson will ask both
candidates a set of questions.
1152
01:26:40,562 --> 01:26:42,894
The following day,
he'll cast his vote.
1153
01:26:47,268 --> 01:26:49,259
Bud,
what will you ask at the debate?
1154
01:26:50,338 --> 01:26:53,774
Truth is, I don't know yet,
but I'm...
1155
01:26:55,310 --> 01:26:56,504
I'll figure it out.
1156
01:27:02,750 --> 01:27:05,446
I hate debates.
Where they try-to trick you.
1157
01:27:05,820 --> 01:27:07,788
I know, but you'll be fine.
1158
01:27:08,623 --> 01:27:10,648
We have two days
to sew this thing up.
1159
01:27:11,526 --> 01:27:13,255
I'm gonna need you
to meet with Bud again.
1160
01:27:14,696 --> 01:27:17,597
And, offer him a little incentive.
1161
01:27:19,334 --> 01:27:21,393
You want I give him
a bag of cash?
1162
01:27:21,536 --> 01:27:23,401
No, he's got too much
attention on him for that.
1163
01:27:23,938 --> 01:27:26,429
I was thinking
that maybe you'd offer him a job.
1164
01:27:26,975 --> 01:27:30,001
Something with benefits.
If you know what I mean.
1165
01:27:30,812 --> 01:27:32,507
Marty,
I've been meaning to talk to you.
1166
01:27:34,649 --> 01:27:37,243
I'm not sure about our strategy
on this whole Bud thing.
1167
01:27:37,685 --> 01:27:40,882
You've never questioned me before.
On anything.
1168
01:27:41,589 --> 01:27:42,112
Ever.
1169
01:27:42,690 --> 01:27:46,649
I know and I'm not saying
I won't do it. I just...
1170
01:27:48,296 --> 01:27:49,763
I can't shake this feeling...
1171
01:27:51,432 --> 01:27:54,299
The way we've been switching positions,
and now offering Bud...
1172
01:27:56,271 --> 01:27:58,239
We're just doing
what we always do.
1173
01:28:00,375 --> 01:28:00,966
That's all.
1174
01:28:01,743 --> 01:28:04,974
Dancing the dance,
Courting the voters.
1175
01:28:06,514 --> 01:28:09,415
Except this time,
it's only one voter.
1176
01:28:11,252 --> 01:28:12,150
It's one guy.
1177
01:28:13,321 --> 01:28:15,152
This is history,
Mr. President.
1178
01:28:16,491 --> 01:28:18,083
It's never happened before.
1179
01:28:18,626 --> 01:28:22,756
This is a moment the whole
world will remember. Forever.
1180
01:28:25,266 --> 01:28:26,255
I understand.
1181
01:28:33,107 --> 01:28:34,540
What are we about?
1182
01:28:35,443 --> 01:28:36,000
Winning.
1183
01:28:37,779 --> 01:28:41,215
Because if we don't win,
you can't do what you set out to do.
1184
01:28:42,183 --> 01:28:44,117
And what you've done,
won't matter.
1185
01:28:44,852 --> 01:28:47,912
If we don't win,
it's all over.
1186
01:28:49,090 --> 01:28:50,148
And you're over.
1187
01:28:51,693 --> 01:28:52,318
Bud!
1188
01:28:55,763 --> 01:28:56,525
Bud!
1189
01:29:00,568 --> 01:29:01,592
What time is it?
1190
01:29:01,669 --> 01:29:04,763
Late. It's late.
You promised to take me in today.
1191
01:29:04,839 --> 01:29:08,605
Okay!
Just give me a few minutes.
1192
01:29:09,944 --> 01:29:12,469
What's today?
1193
01:29:14,515 --> 01:29:15,447
Forget it.
1194
01:29:18,753 --> 01:29:20,550
Can you take me, please?
1195
01:29:23,124 --> 01:29:25,092
Yeah Ye. Let's go.
1196
01:29:30,365 --> 01:29:31,389
Oh, God!
1197
01:29:33,735 --> 01:29:36,260
Hey, wait a minute, Molly.
1198
01:29:44,245 --> 01:29:46,372
Molly! Molly!
1199
01:29:46,447 --> 01:29:49,382
Mr. Johnson... Mr. Johnson!
1200
01:29:50,451 --> 01:29:52,078
The President
would like a word with you.
1201
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:54,415
- The President?
- Yes, sir.
1202
01:29:57,258 --> 01:29:58,555
Hey, get a life!
1203
01:30:00,762 --> 01:30:03,890
I used to work at Gilmore
before I got laid off.
1204
01:30:04,632 --> 01:30:07,123
Now, I find work wherever I can.
1205
01:30:08,369 --> 01:30:10,667
Mow people's lawns,
fixing stuff.
1206
01:30:11,839 --> 01:30:12,931
Hasn't been easy.
1207
01:30:16,344 --> 01:30:16,935
Molly.
1208
01:30:19,747 --> 01:30:24,081
I'd sure appreciate it if your Dad could
put in a good word for me at the plant.
1209
01:30:25,453 --> 01:30:28,513
Thank you,
Michael and Mr. Everett for that...
1210
01:30:29,824 --> 01:30:30,813
presentation.
1211
01:30:32,126 --> 01:30:33,423
Who's next?
1212
01:30:34,128 --> 01:30:34,719
Molly.
1213
01:30:51,546 --> 01:30:53,878
I guess you all
probably know my dad.
1214
01:30:56,717 --> 01:30:58,708
He really wanted
to be here today, but...
1215
01:31:00,354 --> 01:31:02,447
he had so many
important things to do.
1216
01:31:04,559 --> 01:31:06,151
He's doing his best, but...
1217
01:31:07,462 --> 01:31:09,293
he can't be everywhere at once.
1218
01:31:12,099 --> 01:31:14,192
Ever since
all this stuff happened...
1219
01:31:16,971 --> 01:31:19,166
he's really been
under a lot of pressure.
1220
01:31:22,643 --> 01:31:24,406
I just want you to know that...
1221
01:31:25,379 --> 01:31:28,246
he takes
his responsibilities seriously...
1222
01:31:29,984 --> 01:31:33,420
and that he really cares
about helping poor people...
1223
01:31:34,055 --> 01:31:35,454
and sick people.
1224
01:31:37,191 --> 01:31:39,682
And people
that can't help themselves.
1225
01:31:45,066 --> 01:31:45,691
My...
1226
01:31:49,770 --> 01:31:52,830
my dad wants to make
this country a better place.
1227
01:32:08,122 --> 01:32:09,783
Do you think much
about your future?
1228
01:32:12,026 --> 01:32:13,084
What future?
1229
01:32:14,662 --> 01:32:15,560
I know what you mean.
1230
01:32:16,264 --> 01:32:18,323
We all worry
about the sun down years.
1231
01:32:19,166 --> 01:32:21,498
Sooner or later,
all this hoopla is gonna die down.
1232
01:32:21,769 --> 01:32:23,204
They're gonna build me a library.
1233
01:32:23,204 --> 01:32:24,899
And you're gonna be
just another face in the crowd.
1234
01:32:27,542 --> 01:32:28,406
Can't wait.
1235
01:32:30,311 --> 01:32:32,006
What you need
to think about is security.
1236
01:32:33,180 --> 01:32:34,340
Now I've got a friend...
1237
01:32:36,284 --> 01:32:40,448
who might have a job for you.
In the lobby business.
1238
01:32:41,989 --> 01:32:44,617
Like opening doors for people?
1239
01:32:45,693 --> 01:32:46,591
Very astute!
1240
01:32:47,128 --> 01:32:50,097
Open doors to politicians.
And their checkbooks.
1241
01:32:50,097 --> 01:32:53,328
People really like you, Bud.
They feel like you're one of them.
1242
01:32:54,902 --> 01:32:56,733
I'm not quite following you,
Andy.
1243
01:33:03,144 --> 01:33:05,510
Sometimes you gotta figure
out what you want in this life.
1244
01:33:07,014 --> 01:33:09,209
Then you have to decide
how much it's worth to you.
1245
01:33:10,418 --> 01:33:12,215
Because they're gonna
put it on your tombstone.
1246
01:33:14,188 --> 01:33:15,155
It's your legacy.
1247
01:33:16,757 --> 01:33:18,691
A measure
of what you left behind.
1248
01:33:20,628 --> 01:33:21,390
Are we...
1249
01:33:23,664 --> 01:33:25,427
are we still talking
about the job?
1250
01:33:28,169 --> 01:33:29,568
The lobby business?
1251
01:33:32,406 --> 01:33:35,375
Right. Forget that.
1252
01:33:39,847 --> 01:33:40,973
It's not worth it.
1253
01:33:50,358 --> 01:33:51,222
And thank you.
1254
01:34:25,826 --> 01:34:26,520
Molly!
1255
01:34:27,795 --> 01:34:29,820
You said that
if I ever wanted to talk, right?
1256
01:34:33,300 --> 01:34:34,562
Here's some hot cocoa.
1257
01:34:36,337 --> 01:34:38,328
Sorry.
All I had was skim milk.
1258
01:34:38,572 --> 01:34:39,470
It's okay.
1259
01:34:42,543 --> 01:34:43,510
What's going on?
1260
01:34:45,146 --> 01:34:47,614
- It's all my fault.
- What's your fault?
1261
01:34:47,948 --> 01:34:50,007
Bud was supposed
to meet me after school.
1262
01:34:50,217 --> 01:34:53,118
He knew how important it was to me.
But he got drunk.
1263
01:34:53,888 --> 01:34:57,358
He never even showed up.
I didn't know what else to do!
1264
01:34:57,358 --> 01:34:59,553
Wait, Molly,
what are you saying?
1265
01:35:01,495 --> 01:35:02,086
Molly?
1266
01:35:03,664 --> 01:35:04,756
Aren't you gonna get that?
1267
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:10,500
Yeah, give me two seconds. Stay here.
I'm gonna get them off the phone.
1268
01:35:20,748 --> 01:35:25,685
Can call you back?
This isn't a good time. Yeah, I know.
1269
01:35:27,021 --> 01:35:28,579
I know.
You already told me that.
1270
01:35:36,630 --> 01:35:38,598
Look, can I call you back?
1271
01:35:39,300 --> 01:35:39,959
Molly?
1272
01:35:41,602 --> 01:35:42,296
Molly!
1273
01:35:58,619 --> 01:35:59,244
Are you okay?
1274
01:36:00,821 --> 01:36:02,812
You think your dad
might be passed out tonight?
1275
01:36:06,727 --> 01:36:08,786
Then,
you're going to recast your vote.
1276
01:36:08,896 --> 01:36:11,524
I guess it ain't
that much of a secret then, is it?
1277
01:36:15,269 --> 01:36:19,137
If we are to be the exception to history,
then we must break the cycle.
1278
01:36:19,740 --> 01:36:21,571
For those
who do not remember the past...
1279
01:36:23,577 --> 01:36:25,511
Remind me again who's running?
1280
01:36:25,713 --> 01:36:28,079
So, what you're saying is,
you're keeping...
1281
01:36:28,549 --> 01:36:31,780
It's all my fault. Bud was supposed
to meet me after school.
1282
01:36:31,919 --> 01:36:35,150
He knew how important this
was to me. But he got drunk.
1283
01:36:35,556 --> 01:36:38,889
He didn't even show up.
I didn't know what else to do!
1284
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:40,461
Molly, what are you saying?
1285
01:36:40,461 --> 01:36:41,450
He didn't vote!
1286
01:36:44,398 --> 01:36:46,000
What do you mean,
she's missing?
1287
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:47,468
I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson.
It's all my fault.
1288
01:36:47,468 --> 01:36:48,803
For crying out loud, Lewis!
1289
01:36:48,803 --> 01:36:52,762
You guys guard Presidents.
1290
01:36:54,508 --> 01:36:55,440
She's smarter!
1291
01:36:58,078 --> 01:36:58,976
Tell me about it!
1292
01:37:10,891 --> 01:37:12,153
What is all this?
1293
01:37:13,194 --> 01:37:14,684
She's been answering your mail.
1294
01:37:15,629 --> 01:37:16,254
For what?
1295
01:37:18,999 --> 01:37:22,526
She wanted people
to think that you cared.
1296
01:37:24,104 --> 01:37:25,036
She told you that?
1297
01:37:39,253 --> 01:37:42,381
Does have any friends
we should contact?
1298
01:37:42,456 --> 01:37:43,286
I don't know.
1299
01:37:48,529 --> 01:37:51,623
No, she's not the friend type.
1300
01:37:52,833 --> 01:37:53,390
Jed.
1301
01:37:54,602 --> 01:37:57,404
- Jed? Who's Jed?
- It's a boy she likes.
1302
01:37:57,404 --> 01:37:59,599
She likes a boy?
1303
01:37:59,907 --> 01:38:01,898
Jed Barkley.
He's in her class.
1304
01:38:02,076 --> 01:38:04,476
He's a little shy,
but they're friends.
1305
01:38:05,212 --> 01:38:09,171
- Is she told you that?
- Yes, sir.
1306
01:38:14,822 --> 01:38:16,449
Do you have any idea
where she might be going?
1307
01:38:22,997 --> 01:38:25,932
Yeah, I'm can guess
where she's going.
1308
01:38:26,467 --> 01:38:28,264
Just tell us where,
we'll go pick her up, sir.
1309
01:38:31,138 --> 01:38:34,801
She's my daughter.
I'll get her myself.
1310
01:39:01,468 --> 01:39:02,332
This is it.
1311
01:39:04,171 --> 01:39:05,399
Sure you wanna go in?
1312
01:39:07,174 --> 01:39:08,766
Came this far, didn't we?
1313
01:39:10,678 --> 01:39:13,738
I'll wait here awhile.
Just in case you want to go home.
1314
01:39:19,086 --> 01:39:20,553
I never want to go home.
1315
01:39:56,090 --> 01:39:56,579
Yes?
1316
01:39:57,791 --> 01:39:59,418
I'm looking for Larissa Star.
1317
01:40:01,228 --> 01:40:05,665
Well, she's gone.
She's moved out a long time ago.
1318
01:40:11,805 --> 01:40:12,931
I think you're her.
1319
01:40:21,749 --> 01:40:22,511
You Jed?
1320
01:40:24,685 --> 01:40:27,245
- It's okay, is she in there?
- Yes, sir.
1321
01:40:29,456 --> 01:40:30,388
Wait here.
1322
01:40:39,166 --> 01:40:40,326
You're all grown up!
1323
01:40:41,735 --> 01:40:42,929
You look like your dad.
1324
01:40:44,605 --> 01:40:46,163
He says I look like you.
1325
01:40:47,141 --> 01:40:50,941
Does he?
So, why did you come here?
1326
01:40:52,246 --> 01:40:56,114
You wrote me a letter.
You said I could come live with you.
1327
01:40:57,284 --> 01:40:59,718
That was a long time ago,
honey.
1328
01:41:01,522 --> 01:41:03,285
Things have changed.
1329
01:41:04,458 --> 01:41:07,655
I'm close to getting
a record deal.
1330
01:41:08,729 --> 01:41:10,594
I did a gig
a couple of months ago.
1331
01:41:10,898 --> 01:41:16,303
This guy wants to put me in touch
with this big time Nashville producer.
1332
01:41:16,303 --> 01:41:17,930
So he's gonna call me.
I'm not gonna be ready.
1333
01:41:18,839 --> 01:41:22,798
I gotta get ready. There's a lot
I gotta do, so I can't do this.
1334
01:41:24,511 --> 01:41:27,708
I'm not well.
Can't you see that?
1335
01:41:29,683 --> 01:41:31,514
I can take care of you, Mom.
1336
01:41:31,752 --> 01:41:34,846
I don't want anybody to take care
of me. I don't want you here.
1337
01:41:36,023 --> 01:41:36,955
Dad!
1338
01:41:40,627 --> 01:41:42,288
Jesus Christ, Larissa!
1339
01:41:43,097 --> 01:41:44,832
I don't want her
to see me like this.
1340
01:41:44,832 --> 01:41:48,563
Molly, you gotta go outside, okay?
For me. You got out there and wait.
1341
01:41:49,036 --> 01:41:51,834
- Dad!
- Just outside. Now!
1342
01:42:00,981 --> 01:42:04,075
I heard you'd finally
gotten cleaned up.
1343
01:42:04,451 --> 01:42:08,080
Who told you that? My God,
what is going on out there?
1344
01:42:08,155 --> 01:42:08,922
I can't explain.
1345
01:42:08,922 --> 01:42:13,154
What are you, famous now? You think
you can just come? I can't do this!
1346
01:42:13,260 --> 01:42:16,423
- Wait...
- No! No! Come here.
1347
01:42:16,697 --> 01:42:17,998
I'm not mad Larissa.
1348
01:42:17,998 --> 01:42:19,192
I'm trying to tell you...
1349
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:23,403
I can't be a mom right now.
I can't. Stay back! I can't...
1350
01:42:23,403 --> 01:42:27,396
be a mom right now.
I can't do it. I can't do it.
1351
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:41,513
Said no reporters, Lewis.
1352
01:43:41,715 --> 01:43:43,083
I just want to talk to you.
1353
01:43:43,083 --> 01:43:44,516
I don't have time, Kate.
1354
01:43:45,018 --> 01:43:49,389
I'm moderating a Presidential debate
tomorrow night in front of a zillion.
1355
01:43:49,389 --> 01:43:53,052
So as much as I'd love for you
to make an ass out of me again on TV...
1356
01:43:53,227 --> 01:43:54,819
I kinda have
some preparing to do.
1357
01:43:59,199 --> 01:44:01,633
I have to catch up
on the issues.
1358
01:44:02,703 --> 01:44:04,068
Like all of them!
1359
01:44:04,638 --> 01:44:05,161
Bud.
1360
01:44:08,842 --> 01:44:10,742
I know what happened
election night.
1361
01:44:11,945 --> 01:44:15,108
I'm running the story. I just want
to make sure I've got my facts right.
1362
01:44:15,582 --> 01:44:19,450
The bartender claims you
left the Starline about 7:30.
1363
01:44:20,087 --> 01:44:20,781
Is that correct?
1364
01:44:21,555 --> 01:44:22,317
Yes, madam.
1365
01:44:22,756 --> 01:44:25,953
Giving you plenty of time
to meet at the polling station...
1366
01:44:26,827 --> 01:44:27,885
and cast your vote...
1367
01:44:28,528 --> 01:44:29,085
right?
1368
01:44:32,199 --> 01:44:35,032
I... guess so.
1369
01:44:36,470 --> 01:44:37,528
Just making sure.
1370
01:44:40,407 --> 01:44:43,433
I'm sorry.
I got something for you.
1371
01:44:46,913 --> 01:44:48,881
Kinda forgot who I was
for a moment.
1372
01:44:49,750 --> 01:44:50,739
Forgive me?
1373
01:44:51,918 --> 01:44:52,714
That depends.
1374
01:44:54,454 --> 01:44:57,014
Can you help me,
help him tonight?
1375
01:45:00,260 --> 01:45:01,192
I'd love to.
1376
01:45:02,029 --> 01:45:04,793
I work two jobs
just trying to make ends meet.
1377
01:45:05,399 --> 01:45:06,967
Last year my son
was diagnosed with...
1378
01:45:06,967 --> 01:45:12,371
Law makers renewed the primary programs
for low income HIV and AIDS patients.
1379
01:45:12,706 --> 01:45:15,641
Named for Ryan White,
a young AIDS activist...
1380
01:46:36,223 --> 01:46:37,383
Good evening everyone.
1381
01:46:37,591 --> 01:46:40,924
We come to you live
from a small American town...
1382
01:46:41,428 --> 01:46:44,761
a town most of us had never
heard of just a few weeks ago.
1383
01:46:44,965 --> 01:46:47,100
A town you couldn't find
on the map...
1384
01:46:47,100 --> 01:46:50,558
because Texico, New Mexico,
wasn't on the map.
1385
01:46:51,271 --> 01:46:52,636
But it's on the map now.
1386
01:46:52,706 --> 01:46:56,506
The whole world has descended
on this town for an historic event.
1387
01:46:56,643 --> 01:46:59,544
A political debate
unlike any other.
1388
01:46:59,679 --> 01:47:02,273
Tomorrow morning,
Earnest Bud Johnson...
1389
01:47:02,349 --> 01:47:05,011
will walk into a voting booth
and make a choice.
1390
01:47:05,552 --> 01:47:10,683
And his choice will affect
our lives for generations to come.
1391
01:47:11,258 --> 01:47:14,921
The stakes could not be higher.
What do you expect?
1392
01:47:14,995 --> 01:47:18,863
I wonder, Aaron, what the founding
fathers would make of all this.
1393
01:47:19,065 --> 01:47:22,762
Would they be mortified,
or would they be jumping for joy?
1394
01:47:22,903 --> 01:47:26,134
Something tells me
that somewhere right now...
1395
01:47:26,306 --> 01:47:30,766
Franklin and Jefferson
are looking down and smiling.
1396
01:47:31,178 --> 01:47:32,702
Smiling or laughing?
1397
01:47:32,879 --> 01:47:34,881
I don't know if they're smiling.
1398
01:47:34,881 --> 01:47:38,214
That's not exactly who they had in mind
for picking the President of the USA.
1399
01:47:38,385 --> 01:47:42,879
We're sending someone out there who
really is, as far as, we can tell lost.
1400
01:47:43,023 --> 01:47:46,186
Can he find himself suddenly,
tonight on this stage...
1401
01:47:46,326 --> 01:47:48,692
Or is he going to look
like a rodeo clown down there?
1402
01:47:48,829 --> 01:47:52,993
Tonight, the whole country is
watching and we watch with you.
1403
01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:55,331
I'm gonna puke.
1404
01:47:55,402 --> 01:47:57,461
Bud, look at me. Look at me.
1405
01:47:58,104 --> 01:48:00,834
Just be yourself.
You're gonna be great.
1406
01:48:04,778 --> 01:48:07,804
Hey, remember dad.
No cussing! Okay?
1407
01:48:08,281 --> 01:48:09,805
- Fine.
- Fine.
1408
01:48:10,784 --> 01:48:12,718
Mr. Johnson,
one minute, please.
1409
01:48:16,022 --> 01:48:16,920
Good luck!
1410
01:48:21,561 --> 01:48:22,721
And so we begin.
1411
01:48:23,163 --> 01:48:26,030
The crowd has settled down
and we go to the stage...
1412
01:48:26,099 --> 01:48:27,566
for what promises to be...
1413
01:48:28,101 --> 01:48:32,299
one of the most unique moments
in American political history.
1414
01:49:15,715 --> 01:49:18,275
Mr. President, Mr. Greenleaf...
1415
01:49:19,452 --> 01:49:22,853
I'd like to thank you for your
hospitality. It's been real interesting.
1416
01:49:23,723 --> 01:49:26,317
I've said a lot of thing
I didn't mean.
1417
01:49:27,127 --> 01:49:28,628
And you both
made a lot of promises...
1418
01:49:28,628 --> 01:49:30,255
you probably
won't be able to keep.
1419
01:49:39,639 --> 01:49:42,665
To be honest, the last 10 days
have felt like a weird dream.
1420
01:49:43,510 --> 01:49:45,671
What was once kinda funny,
isn't anymore.
1421
01:49:47,547 --> 01:49:48,741
From what I've read, I've...
1422
01:49:50,917 --> 01:49:53,317
well, I've scared
the hell out of America.
1423
01:49:54,287 --> 01:49:57,688
I know that the world is watching,
maybe even laughing.
1424
01:49:58,158 --> 01:50:00,251
People on my own TV,
are saying...
1425
01:50:00,527 --> 01:50:03,758
that America, somehow,
deserves this moment.
1426
01:50:05,732 --> 01:50:07,029
Guess that means me.
1427
01:50:09,903 --> 01:50:13,862
I can't say that I've been much
of anything most of my life.
1428
01:50:13,940 --> 01:50:16,670
It's sorta like somewhere
along the way...
1429
01:50:17,677 --> 01:50:21,514
I checked out and it's not like
I had big dreams to begin with.
1430
01:50:21,514 --> 01:50:24,540
But I had something once.
1431
01:50:25,752 --> 01:50:30,624
I had something close
to faith or hope or whatever...
1432
01:50:30,624 --> 01:50:33,058
whatever word you want
to use for how good life could be.
1433
01:50:34,894 --> 01:50:39,366
But then, the years start moving
quicker and all of a sudden...
1434
01:50:39,366 --> 01:50:41,300
what's going good
out there for every else...
1435
01:50:43,003 --> 01:50:44,493
isn't going so good for you.
1436
01:50:45,839 --> 01:50:48,706
But, tonight I feel...
1437
01:50:50,543 --> 01:50:51,441
embarrassed.
1438
01:50:54,881 --> 01:50:57,247
I've had my chances,
more than most.
1439
01:50:58,551 --> 01:51:00,143
I've grown up
in a country where...
1440
01:51:00,487 --> 01:51:04,685
if I decided to do more with my life
than just drift and drink...
1441
01:51:05,191 --> 01:51:06,783
that I could be standing where...
1442
01:51:08,395 --> 01:51:10,056
where maybe you stand tonight.
1443
01:51:10,830 --> 01:51:14,732
Instead, I've taken freely
and I've given nothing.
1444
01:51:15,969 --> 01:51:17,436
I'm ashamed in front of my...
1445
01:51:19,339 --> 01:51:19,964
daughter.
1446
01:51:23,276 --> 01:51:24,334
And my country.
1447
01:51:26,446 --> 01:51:28,648
I've never served or sacrificed.
1448
01:51:28,648 --> 01:51:33,085
The only heavy lifting
I've been asked is simple stuff, like...
1449
01:51:33,420 --> 01:51:36,651
pay attention. Vote...
1450
01:51:39,359 --> 01:51:40,849
For America has a...
1451
01:51:42,829 --> 01:51:45,764
if America has a true enemy tonight,
I guess it's me.
1452
01:51:48,334 --> 01:51:52,327
Tonight a below average man is going
to choose between two exceptional men.
1453
01:51:53,306 --> 01:51:55,797
Tomorrow, one man's vote
is going to make a difference...
1454
01:51:57,177 --> 01:51:59,008
'Cause tomorrow
we're gonna have a President.
1455
01:51:59,312 --> 01:52:01,906
And not just someone
to fill a chair in Washington.
1456
01:52:03,616 --> 01:52:06,141
We need someone
who's bigger than their speeches.
1457
01:52:07,120 --> 01:52:10,783
The kind of President
we learned about in school.
1458
01:52:12,926 --> 01:52:14,587
America needs a big thinker.
1459
01:52:16,963 --> 01:52:19,022
You know, like a giant, really.
1460
01:52:19,365 --> 01:52:22,528
Someone who has the good sense
to get in front of our problems.
1461
01:52:23,002 --> 01:52:26,172
Somebody who has the wisdom
to lead to us a place...
1462
01:52:26,172 --> 01:52:28,538
where we're at peace
with ourselves and the world.
1463
01:52:30,510 --> 01:52:33,775
And just for the record,
I want you both...
1464
01:52:35,014 --> 01:52:37,812
I want you both to know
that I think a hella lot of you.
1465
01:52:48,661 --> 01:52:53,098
Tonight, I am going to speak
for people I have never met...
1466
01:52:56,236 --> 01:52:59,137
whose letters touched me
in a way I didn't think was possible.
1467
01:53:02,375 --> 01:53:04,343
My first question comes from...
1468
01:53:04,644 --> 01:53:06,771
Peter Manthis,
in Henderson, Kentucky.
1469
01:53:07,180 --> 01:53:08,374
"Dear Mr. Johnson...
1470
01:53:08,581 --> 01:53:11,243
my wife and I
have three little girls.
1471
01:53:11,317 --> 01:53:14,878
We both work two jobs
just trying to make ends meet.
1472
01:53:16,523 --> 01:53:19,117
And some weeks,
we don't make it."
1473
01:53:19,826 --> 01:53:22,695
"When you work hard and you still
can't take care of your family...
1474
01:53:22,695 --> 01:53:26,324
you start to question yourself
as a provider, as a man.
1475
01:53:27,467 --> 01:53:30,664
I know I am one. I fought
for my country and I'm proud of it.
1476
01:53:32,372 --> 01:53:36,741
But it scares me to think about what
would happen if one of my kids got sick.
1477
01:53:38,378 --> 01:53:42,815
"Can you ask the candidates,
if we are richest country in the world...
1478
01:53:44,317 --> 01:53:47,309
how come some many of us can
barely afford to live here?"
1479
01:53:50,423 --> 01:53:52,914
I'd like to take that one first,
if I might, Mr. Greenleaf.
1480
01:53:53,993 --> 01:53:55,290
Answer, Mr. President.
1481
01:53:57,530 --> 01:54:01,432
Bud, I'd first like to say, how much
I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
