1
00:01:04,531 --> 00:01:07,901
After a hotly contested race,
Americans go to the polls today...
2
00:01:07,901 --> 00:01:10,768
in what promises to be
a very close election.
3
00:01:10,871 --> 00:01:14,708
The Republican Andrew Boone,
hoping to hold on to the Oval Office...
4
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:17,044
by edging out...
5
00:01:17,044 --> 00:01:19,342
the Democratic challenger
Donald Greenleaf.
6
00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:42,967
Bud... Bud.
7
00:01:44,371 --> 00:01:45,030
Bud!
8
00:01:49,677 --> 00:01:50,939
I'll call... I'll call him back.
9
00:01:51,245 --> 00:01:54,112
If we had a phone, you could.
Come on!
10
00:01:56,817 --> 00:01:59,411
Goddamnit! It's cold.
11
00:01:59,486 --> 00:02:02,387
We're gonna be late again.
You need a shower.
12
00:02:03,357 --> 00:02:05,382
Can't believe
you slept in your clothes!
13
00:02:16,870 --> 00:02:18,360
Leave me any hot water?
14
00:02:19,306 --> 00:02:21,900
I don't know.
Water heater fix itself?
15
00:02:23,844 --> 00:02:27,281
Christ, Molly! Why don't you
just take the day off, okay?
16
00:02:27,281 --> 00:02:28,942
I'll write you a note.
17
00:02:31,552 --> 00:02:33,986
Now!
I'm not going to tell you again!
18
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:35,951
Get up!
19
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:46,360
Bud!
20
00:02:47,201 --> 00:02:48,896
Alright, I'm coming!
21
00:03:24,004 --> 00:03:26,529
- What?
- Egg salad.
22
00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:28,268
Again?
23
00:03:29,076 --> 00:03:30,441
You like egg salad.
24
00:03:30,511 --> 00:03:35,039
Well, not every damn day I don't.
You could mix it up a little.
25
00:03:35,282 --> 00:03:36,340
We're on a budget.
26
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:39,218
You wanna eat better?
Drink less beer.
27
00:03:41,855 --> 00:03:43,584
- Fine.
- Fine.
28
00:03:45,092 --> 00:03:48,892
- And don't forget today.
- What's... what's today?
29
00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:50,794
Election day, dummy!
30
00:03:51,064 --> 00:03:54,056
I'm supposed to do a report
on you voting, remember?
31
00:03:54,134 --> 00:03:56,932
I already told you before
I'm not even registered.
32
00:03:57,204 --> 00:03:59,406
I registered for you
in the mail.
33
00:03:59,406 --> 00:04:02,375
That's great,
I could get jury duty now.
34
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:05,807
- It's your civic responsibility.
- It's my civic, my what?
35
00:04:05,979 --> 00:04:07,681
It's your civic responsibility.
36
00:04:07,681 --> 00:04:10,343
My civic responsibility?
Where you learning this crap?
37
00:04:11,618 --> 00:04:12,915
Mrs. Abernathy.
38
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:15,281
Well, stay away from her.
39
00:04:16,857 --> 00:04:18,051
She's my teacher.
40
00:04:43,817 --> 00:04:44,613
Sign this.
41
00:04:47,621 --> 00:04:48,280
What is it?
42
00:04:48,889 --> 00:04:52,052
A questionnaire. I'm supposed
to ask you about your politics.
43
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,155
Well, go ahead.
44
00:04:55,262 --> 00:04:56,320
I already filled it in.
45
00:04:57,731 --> 00:04:59,062
I wanted you to sound smart.
46
00:05:02,002 --> 00:05:03,435
Give me
the first question anyway.
47
00:05:07,174 --> 00:05:08,835
What's your political affiliation?
48
00:05:11,578 --> 00:05:15,070
Alright,
I'm a conscious objector.
49
00:05:15,582 --> 00:05:19,887
It's not a war, Bud. It's an election.
And you are an independent.
50
00:05:19,887 --> 00:05:23,414
Independent? Why in the hell
would I be an independent?
51
00:05:23,957 --> 00:05:25,392
Because the two party system...
52
00:05:25,392 --> 00:05:28,418
has neglected the needs
of the working poor.
53
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:30,319
- Let me tell you something, baby...
- Here we go again.
54
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:35,892
The voting doesn't count
for a goddamn thing.
55
00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:38,899
Just a way to make you feel
like you're in control of something.
56
00:05:39,473 --> 00:05:43,544
It doesn't matter who you vote for,
we can't afford insurance and...
57
00:05:43,544 --> 00:05:47,605
if you get sick, I'm gonna have
to start selling my blood again.
58
00:05:47,748 --> 00:05:51,585
Mrs. Abernathy said every vote counts.
It's a social contract.
59
00:05:51,585 --> 00:05:56,215
It's a social contract.
This Mrs. Abernathy is full of shit.
60
00:06:16,043 --> 00:06:17,943
Meet me at the polling place
after work.
61
00:06:18,645 --> 00:06:19,304
Fine.
62
00:06:24,518 --> 00:06:25,712
You forgetting something?
63
00:06:29,323 --> 00:06:32,724
Bud, screw this up
and I'm leaving you.
64
00:06:38,565 --> 00:06:39,395
Do good!
65
00:07:09,529 --> 00:07:10,086
Where...
66
00:07:12,499 --> 00:07:13,625
Where the hell is Dewey?
67
00:07:14,735 --> 00:07:15,895
He got laid off.
68
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:18,460
Bullshit! He got insourced.
69
00:07:19,406 --> 00:07:20,373
Insourced?
70
00:07:20,574 --> 00:07:24,374
Insourced. Instead of exporting
our jobs to Mexico...
71
00:07:24,511 --> 00:07:27,139
they're importing Mexicans
to take our jobs.
72
00:07:27,648 --> 00:07:29,206
You're paranoid,
you know that?
73
00:07:30,017 --> 00:07:34,181
Attention! The opening
this morning is officially cancelled.
74
00:07:37,658 --> 00:07:40,058
I can't even read
the damn signs no more!
75
00:07:41,361 --> 00:07:43,955
Our days are numbered, fellas.
You mark my words!
76
00:07:44,364 --> 00:07:46,628
These hombres work twice
as hard for half the money.
77
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:50,028
I just figure they need this job
twice as bad as us!
78
00:07:50,937 --> 00:07:53,098
Whose side are you on?
79
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:57,333
I don't take sides, Lowell.
Just stating the obvious.
80
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:01,713
Next thing, they'll be taking
away our right to vote.
81
00:08:02,749 --> 00:08:03,647
You voting, Bud?
82
00:08:04,284 --> 00:08:06,377
It's a social contract,
isn't it?
83
00:08:07,554 --> 00:08:09,112
Who are you voting for?
84
00:08:11,058 --> 00:08:12,457
Shit if I know!
85
00:08:16,229 --> 00:08:21,394
I think I picked up a couple shades.
Looks like an eight.
86
00:08:21,635 --> 00:08:22,659
What do you think, Marty?
87
00:08:24,104 --> 00:08:25,901
I don't like
the margin in Florida.
88
00:08:26,073 --> 00:08:29,736
Bus some young Republicans down
to the polling stations in Palm Beach.
89
00:08:29,976 --> 00:08:34,379
Make sure they're tall,
they're blonde and they're men.
90
00:08:35,282 --> 00:08:39,616
Because old Jews see a pack
of angry young white males...
91
00:08:39,753 --> 00:08:42,449
and they're gonna think twice
about getting out of their car!
92
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:47,683
Kennedy was a nine.
And he put a man on the moon.
93
00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:53,633
That's what we need.
Something to shoot for.
94
00:08:53,633 --> 00:08:56,932
A defining moment.
Like... I don't know.
95
00:09:00,107 --> 00:09:01,233
Cure for cancer.
96
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:08,048
Ohio run the gay marriage
ad every twenty minutes.
97
00:09:08,048 --> 00:09:10,450
Let's see if we can't get those God
fearing bastards off the fence.
98
00:09:10,450 --> 00:09:13,010
We take a bunch of scientists,
put them in the desert somewhere.
99
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:16,623
Like the Manhattan project. Are you
listening to me? I'm serious about this.
100
00:09:16,623 --> 00:09:19,426
I think that cancer is going to be
a tough nut to crack in one term, sir.
101
00:09:19,426 --> 00:09:20,791
So, we make it a ten year plan.
102
00:09:21,094 --> 00:09:23,392
- Lincoln got to see the end of slavery?
- No.
103
00:09:23,864 --> 00:09:25,855
- Did Kennedy get to see the moon shot?
- Nope.
104
00:09:26,032 --> 00:09:30,128
No! But they got the credit!
It's the idea that counts.
105
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:33,330
The guy that sets the goal
gets in the history books!
106
00:09:33,807 --> 00:09:37,711
Hope and positivity! Marty,
the American people want a bright...
107
00:09:37,711 --> 00:09:41,169
shining smile to represent
the promise of this country.
108
00:09:41,782 --> 00:09:43,113
Take old Georgie there.
109
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:48,646
Boy, he was off the charts.
110
00:09:50,023 --> 00:09:51,320
They wanted to make him King.
111
00:09:52,826 --> 00:09:53,758
Son of a gun!
112
00:10:07,874 --> 00:10:10,172
Thank you,
thank you for coming.
113
00:10:11,745 --> 00:10:16,045
Galena and I would like
to thank America...
114
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:18,644
for this glorious opportunity.
115
00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:22,744
I have met people of every race,
color and creed...
116
00:10:22,823 --> 00:10:24,620
during this long campaign.
117
00:10:24,791 --> 00:10:28,784
I pledge to you that my White House
will be a rainbow house.
118
00:10:28,862 --> 00:10:31,990
It'll be open to people
of all colors and creeds.
119
00:10:32,499 --> 00:10:35,866
Now, please, go and vote.
We need your support.
120
00:10:42,509 --> 00:10:44,067
That was great.
I'm gonna go do press.
121
00:10:44,211 --> 00:10:44,700
Great.
122
00:10:49,216 --> 00:10:53,448
Greenleaf! Greenleaf!
123
00:10:54,521 --> 00:10:56,216
Gallup has you down by a point.
124
00:10:56,289 --> 00:11:00,385
CNN, USA Today, has us up by two.
News has us down by sixty.
125
00:11:00,460 --> 00:11:02,758
What message are you trying
to get out to the undecideds today?
126
00:11:02,829 --> 00:11:06,166
The same message we put out yesterday,
last week and last year...
127
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:08,726
when we started this campaign
and that's why we're going to win.
128
00:11:08,969 --> 00:11:12,530
Because we have the answers.
Not platitudes and jingoistic rhetoric.
129
00:11:12,706 --> 00:11:15,266
This is the truth
train operation real deal.
130
00:11:15,375 --> 00:11:18,945
In recent days, the president
has aired ads claiming Greenleaf...
131
00:11:18,945 --> 00:11:20,847
has vacationed
at a nudist colony.
132
00:11:20,847 --> 00:11:23,543
Come on, now, that's a tired
accusation. It's pure fiction.
133
00:11:23,717 --> 00:11:27,320
- Then, how do you answer for the photos?
- Right wing blogo-smear, that's how.
134
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,258
I could stand here and perpetuate
the rumor that as a young man...
135
00:11:31,258 --> 00:11:34,853
the president had a gambling addiction,
but I'm got going to sink to their level.
136
00:11:35,295 --> 00:11:38,298
Despite eye witness
accounts and documentation.
137
00:11:38,298 --> 00:11:39,959
They sling mud,
we sling ideas.
138
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:43,935
Still, if Greenleaf loses,
you'll be 0 for 7 on the national scene.
139
00:11:45,572 --> 00:11:49,008
Thank you, Betty. Sorry, folks,
that's all I have time for.
140
00:11:49,643 --> 00:11:50,610
Leeches!
141
00:11:52,512 --> 00:11:54,639
Why it's important to vote.
142
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:57,478
Many brave soldiers
sacrificed themselves.
143
00:11:57,651 --> 00:11:59,414
A right we take for granted.
144
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:02,011
- For the people.
- By the people.
145
00:12:02,322 --> 00:12:04,187
We the people!
146
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:06,715
I can't read my writing.
147
00:12:07,427 --> 00:12:10,590
All the world's great civilizations
have followed the same path.
148
00:12:10,964 --> 00:12:14,559
From bondage, to liberty,
from liberty to abundance...
149
00:12:14,768 --> 00:12:18,864
from abundance to complacency.
From complacency to apathy...
150
00:12:19,205 --> 00:12:21,264
from apathy back to bondage.
151
00:12:21,341 --> 00:12:25,243
If we're to be the exception to history,
then we must break the cycle.
152
00:12:25,979 --> 00:12:29,471
For those who do not remember
the past are condemned to repeat it.
153
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:35,645
Very good, everybody.
Very good.
154
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:38,320
Hold this.
155
00:12:38,558 --> 00:12:42,153
Okay, remember, no running
till you get out to the playground.
156
00:12:42,595 --> 00:12:45,332
Your last one was great.
I'd like to use it on the news.
157
00:12:45,332 --> 00:12:46,196
- Molly?
- Yes.
158
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:47,593
Molly, come here.
159
00:12:48,635 --> 00:12:51,871
This is Ms. Madison.
She's the reporter from the news.
160
00:12:51,871 --> 00:12:53,273
- Hi, Molly.
- Hi.
161
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:54,501
- How you doing?
- Good.
162
00:12:54,574 --> 00:12:57,008
Your essay was very thoughtful.
163
00:12:57,344 --> 00:12:58,106
Thanks.
164
00:12:58,478 --> 00:13:01,014
Ms. Madison is going
to show your essay tonight.
165
00:13:01,014 --> 00:13:03,005
- Isn't that exciting?
- Yes, madam.
166
00:13:03,083 --> 00:13:06,519
Tell me something. What do you
want to be when you grow up?
167
00:13:09,689 --> 00:13:13,989
I go back and forth. Either
a veterinarian or chairman of the Fed.
168
00:13:18,698 --> 00:13:19,494
Where's Bud?
169
00:13:19,899 --> 00:13:24,393
Went to take a leak half an hour ago.
I heard his name over the loudspeaker.
170
00:13:25,672 --> 00:13:26,900
What'd you have for lunch?
171
00:13:27,273 --> 00:13:30,367
- Egg salad. You?
- Hard boiled.
172
00:13:35,849 --> 00:13:36,611
Hey, Bud.
173
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:41,009
Just giving you a heads up.
174
00:13:43,823 --> 00:13:46,087
Management wants us
to cut another ten percent.
175
00:13:46,593 --> 00:13:50,791
Well,
you are management, Carl.
176
00:13:51,131 --> 00:13:54,430
Look, you haven't punched
in on time in six months.
177
00:13:54,667 --> 00:14:00,401
So, I'm five minutes late every once
in a while. What is the big whoop?
178
00:14:00,473 --> 00:14:04,170
You took thirty-one
sick days this year, Bud.
179
00:14:06,046 --> 00:14:10,039
Well, I gotta kid, Carl.
She brings it home from school.
180
00:14:29,035 --> 00:14:30,696
Shit! Goddamnit!
181
00:14:51,558 --> 00:14:53,753
Well, hell, Carl!
182
00:14:54,627 --> 00:14:57,528
You could have showed me
your footage when you walked in.
183
00:14:58,731 --> 00:15:03,065
I know we went to school together, Bud.
I've always liked you.
184
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:07,035
You gotta give me one good
reason why I should keep you.
185
00:15:10,110 --> 00:15:11,372
Why I can keep you.
186
00:15:43,510 --> 00:15:44,602
All hellsabelle!
187
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:50,973
Sorry you lost your job.
188
00:15:51,117 --> 00:15:54,052
That's alright, Henry. Just...
189
00:15:56,256 --> 00:16:01,717
As soon as take your money,
I'm going from fired to retired.
190
00:16:02,328 --> 00:16:04,057
- Hey, Bud!
- Yes?
191
00:16:04,497 --> 00:16:05,930
Molly is on TV!
192
00:16:07,834 --> 00:16:09,631
- Apathy back to bondage.
- Geez!
193
00:16:09,936 --> 00:16:13,702
If we are to be the exception to history,
then we must break the cycle.
194
00:16:14,541 --> 00:16:16,771
- Curly, what time you got?
- Nine past seven.
195
00:16:17,577 --> 00:16:18,202
God!
196
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:22,641
God, man! Shit!
197
00:16:41,401 --> 00:16:42,732
Goddamnit!
198
00:19:24,130 --> 00:19:25,765
PLEASE,
INSERT YOUR BALLOT
199
00:19:25,765 --> 00:19:29,428
ERROR CODE - RESTART
200
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:33,588
I hurt the top of my head.
201
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:35,489
Come on, lay down.
202
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,009
I'm so sorry, baby.
203
00:21:00,193 --> 00:21:01,683
I want to live with Mom.
204
00:21:07,533 --> 00:21:08,192
Me too.
205
00:21:23,416 --> 00:21:26,686
New Mexico
is a classic swing state.
206
00:21:26,686 --> 00:21:28,313
- Mrs. Madison?
- Speaking.
207
00:21:28,554 --> 00:21:31,318
I'm calling
from the New Mexico election board.
208
00:21:31,390 --> 00:21:34,160
- The what?
- The New Mexico election board.
209
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,994
Madam, did you cast your vote
at a Texico polling station last night?
210
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:40,322
I voted in the morning.
211
00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:42,368
In the morning. Alright.
212
00:21:42,368 --> 00:21:43,266
Is there something the matter?
213
00:21:43,569 --> 00:21:46,072
No, no, sorry to bother you.
214
00:21:46,072 --> 00:21:48,734
It is amazing. With every state
but New Mexico reporting...
215
00:21:48,941 --> 00:21:51,501
we're now in a dead heat
for the American presidency.
216
00:21:51,644 --> 00:21:54,636
Each candidate with virtually
the same amount of electoral votes.
217
00:21:54,714 --> 00:21:58,651
270, the magic number to win.
This is a real photo finish!
218
00:21:58,651 --> 00:22:00,915
And it goes to whoever wins
the popular vote in the state.
219
00:22:00,987 --> 00:22:03,717
All five electoral college votes
then swing to that party.
220
00:22:03,789 --> 00:22:06,025
Well, they don't call it the land
of enchantment for nothing.
221
00:22:06,025 --> 00:22:08,619
Whoever takes New Mexico,
takes the White House.
222
00:22:08,694 --> 00:22:13,927
It's déja vu again. 2000 presidential
election came down to Dade County.
223
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,071
400 votes in the state of Florida,
out of a total of 105 million cast.
224
00:22:19,071 --> 00:22:23,838
If this is a certified tie, neither the
candidate would receive the majority.
225
00:22:24,076 --> 00:22:27,705
Do we even have a president
to deal with this?
226
00:22:27,847 --> 00:22:30,983
Pursuant to the 12th amendment, the
House of Representatives would decide.
227
00:22:30,983 --> 00:22:32,919
That hasn't happened since...
228
00:22:32,919 --> 00:22:37,686
John Quincy Adams defeated
Andrew Jackson back in 1824.
229
00:22:37,823 --> 00:22:39,381
We're talking rare.
230
00:22:39,659 --> 00:22:42,822
No, this isn't a great civics lesson
to the people of this country?
231
00:22:43,062 --> 00:22:48,034
If anyone in New Mexico didn't vote,
he be kicking themselves right now.
232
00:22:48,034 --> 00:22:52,664
The latest reports coming in,
Curry County still too close to call.
233
00:22:52,772 --> 00:22:56,731
This election is down to a single
county. Is this even possible?
234
00:22:57,910 --> 00:23:01,676
Listen, John, there's only 653
registered voters in Texico.
235
00:23:01,747 --> 00:23:03,374
And they've already
recounted those votes.
236
00:23:03,449 --> 00:23:07,146
I know. With that information
and a dollar, I could buy a chalupa!
237
00:23:07,286 --> 00:23:09,754
Everyone I know who voted
has been personally called.
238
00:23:10,656 --> 00:23:11,714
So what?
239
00:23:12,024 --> 00:23:14,515
So, the election. The fact
that it's down to Curry County...
240
00:23:14,860 --> 00:23:16,794
it has something
to do with Texico.
241
00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:19,730
Oh my God. Call you back!
242
00:23:39,352 --> 00:23:39,681
Bud!
243
00:23:41,721 --> 00:23:42,244
Come on!
244
00:23:43,789 --> 00:23:46,257
God, my head!
245
00:23:50,730 --> 00:23:52,823
What? What time is it?
246
00:23:53,099 --> 00:23:54,498
There's some people
here to see you.
247
00:23:55,534 --> 00:23:56,262
Some people?
248
00:23:57,069 --> 00:23:58,263
They look official.
249
00:24:01,574 --> 00:24:04,475
- Child services?
- That's what I'm thinking.
250
00:24:16,389 --> 00:24:18,357
- Okay.
- Here we go.
251
00:24:23,796 --> 00:24:26,959
Mr. Johnson, we would have called first,
but you don't have a telephone.
252
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,427
No, no, no, we got a phone.
253
00:24:32,004 --> 00:24:34,874
It's just not connected right now.
But I'm on it, you know.
254
00:24:34,874 --> 00:24:37,866
I'm not gonna say it's been easy
since the wife left, but...
255
00:24:38,044 --> 00:24:40,239
- we're getting on fine.
- Sure are.
256
00:24:40,446 --> 00:24:45,748
And I'm gonna pay these off, I swear.
Just as soon as I find a new job.
257
00:24:45,918 --> 00:24:47,977
- A new job?
- Yes.
258
00:24:48,220 --> 00:24:53,292
I used to be in this Willy Nelson
tribute band. I was thinking about...
259
00:24:53,292 --> 00:24:58,093
getting the guys back together again,
soon as our bass player gets paroled.
260
00:24:58,397 --> 00:25:01,195
And the drinking, I know it,
I know it looks bad.
261
00:25:01,701 --> 00:25:05,102
And licking that sucker
is at the top of my list.
262
00:25:05,604 --> 00:25:08,164
Please don't take away from me.
263
00:25:09,475 --> 00:25:11,238
I'll do anything you say,
I swear.
264
00:25:13,512 --> 00:25:14,979
She's just my only good thing.
265
00:25:15,648 --> 00:25:18,242
Mr. Johnson,
we're not from Social Services.
266
00:25:20,019 --> 00:25:20,576
No?
267
00:25:21,454 --> 00:25:23,046
We're from the State
Election Bureau.
268
00:25:23,756 --> 00:25:27,055
Fuck! Thank you, Jesus!
269
00:25:30,062 --> 00:25:33,395
I'm Secretary of State Brower.
And this is Attorney General Wyatt.
270
00:25:33,466 --> 00:25:36,264
Mr. Johnson,
did you cast your vote last night?
271
00:25:37,470 --> 00:25:38,630
Last night, did you vote?
272
00:25:39,572 --> 00:25:45,340
That's right,
it's my civic duty, isn't it?
273
00:25:45,578 --> 00:25:46,704
Indeed it is.
274
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:50,515
Mr. Johnson,
is this your signature?
275
00:25:55,454 --> 00:25:56,386
I guess.
276
00:25:56,655 --> 00:25:57,990
You guess it's your signature?
277
00:25:57,990 --> 00:26:02,552
No, no. That's right.
That's my signature.
278
00:26:03,129 --> 00:26:04,391
Did you retain your stub?
279
00:26:05,765 --> 00:26:06,595
What stub?
280
00:26:07,032 --> 00:26:09,296
The perforated stub
on top of your ballot.
281
00:26:16,142 --> 00:26:21,842
Where's that perforated stub
that I gave you for your school project?
282
00:26:22,481 --> 00:26:23,243
I've got it.
283
00:26:35,694 --> 00:26:36,388
It's him.
284
00:26:36,896 --> 00:26:39,057
Yeah, it's him. What do you mean,
"him?" Me, him?
285
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,497
Sir, your vote didn't count.
286
00:26:43,269 --> 00:26:45,771
Mr. Johnson,
it's our duty to inform you...
287
00:26:45,771 --> 00:26:49,639
that you are entitled to recast
your ballot in a timely manner.
288
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:52,301
What if I don't want to?
289
00:26:53,779 --> 00:26:54,404
Bud!
290
00:26:56,615 --> 00:27:01,187
Alright then, how about if I, how
about if I just whisper it to you then?
291
00:27:01,187 --> 00:27:03,655
Right here we'd get it over with,
right now and you can listen too!
292
00:27:03,722 --> 00:27:06,054
No, sir, there are strict rules
and legal procedures.
293
00:27:06,125 --> 00:27:10,084
Legal shit. Shit, fellas,
I can't afford a lawyer.
294
00:27:10,396 --> 00:27:13,126
You're not in trouble.
You don't need a lawyer.
295
00:27:13,532 --> 00:27:15,830
However,
I will have to administer an oath.
296
00:27:16,068 --> 00:27:16,966
An oath?
297
00:27:17,036 --> 00:27:18,799
An oath. Please,
place your hand on the Bible.
298
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,408
Do you, Earnest Johnson...
299
00:27:23,742 --> 00:27:26,870
swear to recast your ballot
in the spirit of the law?
300
00:27:27,446 --> 00:27:29,209
Yeah, yes, sure. Okay.
301
00:27:29,815 --> 00:27:30,543
So noted.
302
00:27:30,616 --> 00:27:34,211
A petition will be filed on your behalf
and a date will be set for your revote.
303
00:27:34,386 --> 00:27:39,016
Does this put me
on some sort of fast track list?
304
00:27:40,392 --> 00:27:42,656
You know, for like jury duty?
305
00:27:43,696 --> 00:27:47,757
Considering the gravity of this
situation, keep all of this a secret.
306
00:27:49,235 --> 00:27:50,065
Have a good night.
307
00:28:06,418 --> 00:28:07,112
Sorry.
308
00:28:08,087 --> 00:28:12,046
You should be! I could get into
all kinds of trouble because of you!
309
00:28:13,692 --> 00:28:14,860
Gosh, Molly!
310
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:18,921
Why can't you
learn just to let things be?
311
00:28:19,265 --> 00:28:23,759
I told you this was important to me,
but you never listen!
312
00:28:33,679 --> 00:28:37,416
Another astonishing development:
New Mexico Elections Bureau is reporting...
313
00:28:37,416 --> 00:28:41,512
a single irregular ballot is holding
up a final decision in the state.
314
00:28:41,620 --> 00:28:45,283
As I said, a single ballot.
That's one vote, folks!
315
00:28:45,457 --> 00:28:48,761
This really couldn't get any stranger,
MSNBC has learned that the voter...
316
00:28:48,761 --> 00:28:51,286
has been identified and has
agreed to recast the ballot.
317
00:28:51,797 --> 00:28:55,790
One voter will decide the fate
of the state's five electoral votes.
318
00:28:55,935 --> 00:29:00,839
On this bizarre day, no one
will soon forget, one American citizen...
319
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:04,798
will effectively choose the next
President of the United States.
320
00:29:06,045 --> 00:29:08,878
Apparently the electronic
voting machine malfunctioned.
321
00:29:08,948 --> 00:29:11,684
The ballot was scanned, but the machine
died before the vote was counted.
322
00:29:11,684 --> 00:29:12,584
It's an anomaly.
323
00:29:12,584 --> 00:29:14,984
No shit, Larry! What polling
station was the machine in?
324
00:29:15,054 --> 00:29:17,022
Texico, New Mexico, sir.
325
00:29:17,823 --> 00:29:18,949
Is that a place?
326
00:29:19,792 --> 00:29:21,851
Where the hell is Texico?
327
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:23,690
New Mexico, sir, Curry County.
328
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:27,027
New Mexico election law dictates
if a voter's right is violated...
329
00:29:27,099 --> 00:29:30,193
The voter shall be-entitled
to recast the ballot. I know.
330
00:29:31,403 --> 00:29:34,861
Alright, kids,
we're going to war.
331
00:29:34,974 --> 00:29:37,135
A map!
Somebody get me a map!
332
00:29:37,376 --> 00:29:41,472
There's one schmuck standing between us
and the White House. Find out who it is.
333
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:43,213
We can't do that legally.
334
00:29:44,683 --> 00:29:45,581
Just find him.
335
00:29:51,390 --> 00:29:54,325
We were supposed
to my cytoplasm out of Jell-O today.
336
00:29:56,028 --> 00:29:58,797
What kinda kid would rather
sit in a crummy classroom...
337
00:29:58,797 --> 00:30:00,162
than be out here?
338
00:30:00,666 --> 00:30:04,124
What kind of father goes fishing
when he should be looking for a new job?
339
00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:07,039
The kind who would just like...
340
00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:10,975
to spend a little more time
with his daughter.
341
00:30:12,077 --> 00:30:12,839
That's who.
342
00:30:13,879 --> 00:30:15,608
- Fine.
- Fine.
343
00:30:18,917 --> 00:30:20,009
Anyway, I've been thinking.
344
00:30:20,519 --> 00:30:21,781
How refreshing!
345
00:30:23,789 --> 00:30:27,953
Jesus! You gotta quit being
such a smart ass all the time?
346
00:30:28,027 --> 00:30:30,996
And you've got to stop using Jesus
as a cuss word all the time!
347
00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:33,265
He's a billion people's Savior.
348
00:30:33,265 --> 00:30:35,358
Alright, fine, okay?
I get it.
349
00:30:36,435 --> 00:30:37,868
- Fine.
- Fine.
350
00:30:45,144 --> 00:30:48,447
I wish...
your mom could be here...
351
00:30:48,447 --> 00:30:51,007
to talk to you about
everything that's going on.
352
00:30:53,886 --> 00:30:55,251
I really do.
353
00:30:56,221 --> 00:30:59,918
No, she... no, she can't.
354
00:31:02,127 --> 00:31:03,116
She's just, she can't, baby.
355
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:08,332
Bud.
356
00:31:12,671 --> 00:31:15,231
Next Tuesday, is bring
your father to school day.
357
00:31:17,509 --> 00:31:20,034
- So?
- I want you to come.
358
00:31:23,449 --> 00:31:26,145
It's not gonna embarrass
you that I don't have a job?
359
00:31:26,618 --> 00:31:27,778
I don't care.
360
00:31:28,654 --> 00:31:29,882
I want you to come anyway.
361
00:31:35,694 --> 00:31:37,719
- Think you can remember?
- Of course.
362
00:31:39,565 --> 00:31:40,190
How?
363
00:31:40,966 --> 00:31:41,933
Well...
364
00:31:43,902 --> 00:31:45,460
I'll write it on my forehead.
365
00:31:55,247 --> 00:31:56,646
Can I go to school, now?
366
00:32:00,619 --> 00:32:03,520
Yes. Just one more cast.
367
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:15,694
Why don't you go
start the truck.
368
00:32:31,116 --> 00:32:35,485
Try to get a two shot, alright?
Okay, come on!
369
00:32:35,787 --> 00:32:36,776
Earnest Johnson!
370
00:32:37,489 --> 00:32:39,320
- Yes?
- Kate Madison.
371
00:32:40,125 --> 00:32:41,217
- Hi, there.
- Hi.
372
00:32:43,929 --> 00:32:46,363
Shit! You're the lady
from the news.
373
00:32:46,431 --> 00:32:48,729
I am, and I'd like
to ask you a few questions.
374
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,166
You know, you're much prettier
than you are on the TV.
375
00:32:51,603 --> 00:32:52,504
Thanks. I would...
376
00:32:52,504 --> 00:32:56,133
Don't get me wrong,
you're pretty on the TV too.
377
00:32:57,342 --> 00:32:59,674
Just, we got an old set
that kinda "squirshes" you.
378
00:32:59,845 --> 00:33:00,641
Squishes everybody.
379
00:33:01,180 --> 00:33:03,215
I believe, Mr. Johnson.
I believe...
380
00:33:03,215 --> 00:33:04,842
You can call me Bud.
381
00:33:05,284 --> 00:33:08,754
Bud. I was hoping you
could tell me why those men...
382
00:33:08,754 --> 00:33:11,245
flew from Santa Fe,
to see you in the middle of the night.
383
00:33:18,797 --> 00:33:22,824
Well, actually, I kinda promised
to keep that a secret.
384
00:33:23,902 --> 00:33:26,427
You mean,
you're going to recast your vote.
385
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:31,776
Well, shit, I guess that I guess
it ain't that much of a secret then.
386
00:33:32,611 --> 00:33:36,172
Now, listen, Bud,
you need to watch your language.
387
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:37,474
- We're taping this for TV, okay?
- The language?
388
00:33:38,150 --> 00:33:41,119
Goddamnit, yes of course!
389
00:33:41,253 --> 00:33:46,657
The question now is, who you voted for
and are you going to vote the same way?
390
00:33:48,927 --> 00:33:50,758
Remind me again who's running?
391
00:33:51,697 --> 00:33:54,689
What you're saying is,
you're keeping an open mind?
392
00:33:55,701 --> 00:33:57,566
Yeah, that's...
393
00:33:58,070 --> 00:33:59,367
That's the kinda guy I am.
394
00:34:00,272 --> 00:34:01,261
You gotta be kidding me!
395
00:34:01,940 --> 00:34:03,965
This is OJ big. Bigger!
396
00:34:05,811 --> 00:34:06,835
I gotta call network!
397
00:34:08,213 --> 00:34:11,817
John,
let me break the story.
398
00:34:11,817 --> 00:34:13,546
I thought I was gonna die
in this shithole.
399
00:34:13,685 --> 00:34:16,279
You said that when the time was right,
you'd give me a chance. That's the time!
400
00:34:16,355 --> 00:34:17,515
We'll be back to a real market.
401
00:34:17,656 --> 00:34:21,493
The city! With elevators and Chinese
restaurants and crime and traffic.
402
00:34:21,493 --> 00:34:24,396
I got the tape
of Mrs. Zachary's prize winning sow.
403
00:34:24,396 --> 00:34:26,330
Screw Mrs. Zachary.
And screw the sow!
404
00:34:26,465 --> 00:34:27,489
You promised me.
405
00:34:28,333 --> 00:34:30,824
Get network on the phone.
Don't screw it up.
406
00:34:32,537 --> 00:34:34,630
- You won't regret it!
- Better not! Darlene!
407
00:34:46,084 --> 00:34:50,077
So... is your dad coming
to talk to our class?
408
00:34:51,823 --> 00:34:56,817
I don't know. Doesn't really leave
the house much since my mom left.
409
00:34:58,430 --> 00:34:59,488
Mine left too.
410
00:35:00,365 --> 00:35:03,334
She's pursuing
a singing career in Albuquerque.
411
00:35:05,037 --> 00:35:07,369
I'm going to move there
when she becomes a big star.
412
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:09,236
And she's gonna take me
on tour and everything.
413
00:35:11,076 --> 00:35:12,873
She'll probably do
a concert in Austin.
414
00:35:14,413 --> 00:35:15,937
I could get you free tickets.
415
00:35:16,515 --> 00:35:19,075
Maybe.
Guess I could borrow my dad's car.
416
00:35:20,252 --> 00:35:23,881
I'll wait till he gets drunk.
Sometimes he passes out.
417
00:35:29,528 --> 00:35:31,086
Do you think
I could try your skateboard?
418
00:35:34,666 --> 00:35:35,325
Okay.
419
00:35:42,441 --> 00:35:46,844
I'm the king of Curry County, John,
and I've been 15 years at this desk.
420
00:35:46,912 --> 00:35:50,109
I feel for you, Ted.
Don't make me call security.
421
00:35:59,324 --> 00:36:01,189
Holy crap!
422
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,458
You, desk! Sit!
423
00:36:05,130 --> 00:36:07,098
People,
we go live in 30 seconds!
424
00:36:07,232 --> 00:36:09,132
From this point on,
the news counts!
425
00:36:09,201 --> 00:36:13,570
So excited,
I got my accent back. My god!
426
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:16,607
And cue graphics!
427
00:36:17,576 --> 00:36:18,440
And cue music!
428
00:36:19,511 --> 00:36:21,809
And cue!
429
00:36:22,247 --> 00:36:27,617
Good evening. This is Madison, coming
to you from Curry County, New Mexico.
430
00:36:27,786 --> 00:36:31,222
Over the last 24 hours,
the American political process...
431
00:36:31,289 --> 00:36:35,089
has ground to a virtual standstill
as the world watches...
432
00:36:35,327 --> 00:36:40,162
waiting for the outcome of an election.
Today, I uncovered the identity...
433
00:36:40,265 --> 00:36:43,063
of the person the entire
world has been looking for.
434
00:36:43,301 --> 00:36:46,702
The one swing voter
who will decide the election.
435
00:36:46,972 --> 00:36:50,464
Those of you hoping to hear that
decision will be sorely disappointed.
436
00:36:50,675 --> 00:36:53,906
Because you are about to meet
a registered independent...
437
00:36:54,045 --> 00:36:56,843
who claims to be
keeping an open mind.
438
00:36:57,616 --> 00:37:00,312
Imagine,
on this man's shoulders...
439
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:03,453
stands the future
of the free world.
440
00:37:03,822 --> 00:37:05,255
Just the kind of guy I am.
441
00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:11,459
Let it never again be said,
that a single vote counts for nothing.
442
00:37:21,473 --> 00:37:21,996
Bud!
443
00:37:22,841 --> 00:37:23,330
Bud!
444
00:37:24,476 --> 00:37:25,101
What?
445
00:37:26,111 --> 00:37:27,635
There's some people outside.
446
00:37:28,113 --> 00:37:32,209
Geez, you gotta stop
waking me up like this, okay?
447
00:37:32,717 --> 00:37:33,945
You're gonna kill me.
448
00:37:34,019 --> 00:37:36,317
There are some people outside!
449
00:37:37,789 --> 00:37:38,517
People?
450
00:37:39,691 --> 00:37:40,555
God!
451
00:37:43,261 --> 00:37:45,229
No, not there! Out front!
452
00:37:45,964 --> 00:37:49,525
Oh, God... What now?
453
00:37:51,736 --> 00:37:53,931
- Dad, hurry up!
- Yeah, I'm going, honey.
454
00:37:56,942 --> 00:37:58,432
There's a lot of people
out there.
455
00:37:58,743 --> 00:38:02,304
Okay, honey, let's see
what the fuss is all about.
456
00:38:06,952 --> 00:38:07,680
Is that him?
457
00:38:08,787 --> 00:38:09,481
Bud!
458
00:38:10,555 --> 00:38:12,045
Mr. Johnson,
any decisions yet?
459
00:38:25,003 --> 00:38:27,528
- Holy shit!
- What do they want?
460
00:38:29,241 --> 00:38:30,173
I don't know.
461
00:38:34,279 --> 00:38:35,371
Go turn the TV on, baby.
462
00:38:44,322 --> 00:38:47,485
We are in the midst
of a historic moment.
463
00:38:47,626 --> 00:38:50,094
The swing voter
has finally been identified.
464
00:38:50,262 --> 00:38:53,493
We go live now to a trailer
in Texico, New Mexico.
465
00:38:53,899 --> 00:38:56,629
Earnest Johnson made
an appearance just moments ago.
466
00:38:56,935 --> 00:38:59,495
Apparently, overwhelmed
by the media presence.
467
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:03,698
And Mr. Landry, exactly how long
have you known Earnest Johnson?
468
00:39:04,342 --> 00:39:07,243
Earnest Johnson?
Hey, Earnest!
469
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,716
- You mean Bud?
- We all grew up together.
470
00:39:12,150 --> 00:39:14,219
How do you think he's
shouldering the responsibility...
471
00:39:14,219 --> 00:39:16,687
of picking the next President
of the United States?
472
00:39:18,823 --> 00:39:21,724
Well, I'm sure that...
473
00:39:22,594 --> 00:39:26,360
Earnest is...
crapping his pants.
474
00:39:29,267 --> 00:39:32,003
He's a good guy.
He likes to treat them good.
475
00:39:32,003 --> 00:39:34,028
We used to light
the mesa back here on fire!
476
00:39:40,979 --> 00:39:42,276
It's all my fault, isn't it?
477
00:39:42,347 --> 00:39:44,577
No! No, no, no, baby, no.
478
00:39:45,150 --> 00:39:49,052
None of this would have happened
if I hadn't let you down.
479
00:39:50,322 --> 00:39:51,482
What are we gonna do?
480
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:53,049
Well...
481
00:39:56,394 --> 00:39:57,725
I'm gonna back these people up.
482
00:40:04,202 --> 00:40:06,227
Holy shit!
483
00:40:07,839 --> 00:40:08,863
There's so many!
484
00:40:10,775 --> 00:40:13,869
Ok, I'm just gonna go out there,
right? I'm gonna...
485
00:40:15,714 --> 00:40:19,878
I'm gonna walk out there and tell
those people it wasn't me who voted.
486
00:40:20,485 --> 00:40:21,747
No, you can't!
487
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,087
Why not?
488
00:40:23,455 --> 00:40:25,650
You swore to that judge,
on a Bible and everything.
489
00:40:25,724 --> 00:40:27,954
What? That was the middle
of the night. That can't count!
490
00:40:29,461 --> 00:40:32,760
You were under oath, Bud.
Voter fraud is a felony.
491
00:40:32,864 --> 00:40:35,298
And one more felony
and they take me away from you.
492
00:40:35,433 --> 00:40:37,424
You're right. Shit!
I am down to one!
493
00:40:49,381 --> 00:40:50,348
What do we do?
494
00:40:55,854 --> 00:40:59,187
We lie. We have to.
495
00:41:01,993 --> 00:41:07,659
Okay, that's a good plan.
Just a little white lie is all this is.
496
00:41:07,732 --> 00:41:09,962
- Between us.
- Just between us.
497
00:41:10,568 --> 00:41:13,696
Who knows,
maybe this thing, all these...
498
00:41:14,906 --> 00:41:18,865
Maybe all these people,
they just go away.
499
00:41:55,947 --> 00:41:57,312
Stop! Stop!
500
00:42:39,457 --> 00:42:40,719
What the hell is this?
501
00:42:41,192 --> 00:42:42,625
The biggest space we could find.
502
00:42:44,929 --> 00:42:47,966
How we gonna do this?
Build a campaign around one man?
503
00:42:47,966 --> 00:42:50,366
- I don't know how to do this.
- You're gonna leave it to me.
504
00:42:50,535 --> 00:42:53,299
We're gonna win him, Don!
We're gonna win this guy.
505
00:42:53,571 --> 00:42:55,774
We got the issues on our side!
506
00:42:55,774 --> 00:42:57,542
- There you go!
- He's gonna love me!
507
00:42:57,542 --> 00:42:58,736
What's not to love?
508
00:43:02,814 --> 00:43:06,944
We're in trouble. I need you to dig up
everything you can on Earnest Johnson.
509
00:43:07,018 --> 00:43:08,486
Talk to his family, his friends.
510
00:43:08,486 --> 00:43:10,784
I want to know what he reads,
what television show he watches.
511
00:43:10,855 --> 00:43:15,315
His hobbies, his favorite foods,
his hopes, his dreams, everything.
512
00:43:15,860 --> 00:43:20,194
All we have to do is win
over one American mind!
513
00:43:20,899 --> 00:43:21,991
You know, I was just thinking,
Marty.
514
00:43:22,767 --> 00:43:24,894
I'd like to get to know
this Bud Johnson. Personally.
515
00:43:25,170 --> 00:43:26,137
Okay. Good.
516
00:43:26,971 --> 00:43:28,438
Maybe take him out
for some ice cream.
517
00:43:32,310 --> 00:43:32,969
Ice cream?
518
00:43:33,912 --> 00:43:35,573
What grown man
doesn't like ice cream?
519
00:43:39,384 --> 00:43:42,717
No higher education,
not much lower education.
520
00:43:43,021 --> 00:43:45,182
Divorced single father,
recently laid off.
521
00:43:45,256 --> 00:43:46,348
What's our first step?
522
00:43:46,524 --> 00:43:49,652
Put you in a room together. See if you
persuade him to come over to our side.
523
00:43:49,861 --> 00:43:55,697
I like it. Him and me in a room. Yes,
talking ideas, seeing what comes up.
524
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,735
Great plan.
I'll get you some talking points.
525
00:43:57,735 --> 00:43:59,293
I'm good off the cuff already.
526
00:43:59,470 --> 00:44:04,309
Of course! We're just gonna get
an itty bitty think tank together.
527
00:44:04,309 --> 00:44:08,075
We'll run the data, see what you two
could possibly have in common.
528
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,313
Your petition has been processed.
529
00:44:10,548 --> 00:44:15,019
And in accordance with New Mexico state
law, Chapter 1, Article 13, Section 11.
530
00:44:15,019 --> 00:44:19,324
Could you do us a favor and back
these news people up a little bit?
531
00:44:19,324 --> 00:44:22,316
We could barely
sleep last night.
532
00:44:26,397 --> 00:44:29,434
Said voter Earnest Johnson,
is hereby authorized...
533
00:44:29,434 --> 00:44:31,425
to recast his vote 10 days
from today along official.
534
00:44:32,403 --> 00:44:35,039
And there's a fat guy there,
he keeps leaning on my truck...
535
00:44:35,039 --> 00:44:37,098
fixing his hair
in my side mirror.
536
00:44:42,513 --> 00:44:46,284
Said voter, Earnest Johnson,
is hereby authorized to recast his vote...
537
00:44:46,284 --> 00:44:49,754
10 days from today. Along official
documentary notification...
538
00:44:49,754 --> 00:44:51,847
to both state,
federal regulatory authorities.
539
00:44:52,357 --> 00:44:55,053
Bud, life's gonna be
a little different from now on.
540
00:44:55,493 --> 00:44:57,358
You'll need security
around the clock.
541
00:44:57,962 --> 00:44:58,587
For what?
542
00:44:59,030 --> 00:45:00,827
You're a household name.
543
00:45:01,165 --> 00:45:04,191
Every political nut job in the country
is gonna make their way down here.
544
00:45:04,335 --> 00:45:08,795
In 10 days, you gonna make the most
important decision in the free world.
545
00:45:08,873 --> 00:45:11,776
And it is our job to make sure
this thing comes off fair and square.
546
00:45:11,776 --> 00:45:14,745
So, if there's anything
that you think we need to know...
547
00:45:19,083 --> 00:45:19,845
Like what?
548
00:45:20,752 --> 00:45:22,617
Something
we may find out later.
549
00:45:23,755 --> 00:45:25,382
Better now, than later.
550
00:45:29,494 --> 00:45:32,554
No, sir,
there's nothing to know.
551
00:45:36,701 --> 00:45:39,261
Molly! Molly! Molly!
552
00:45:39,704 --> 00:45:42,537
- I don't believe it. She's his daughter!
- Who's his daughter?
553
00:45:42,607 --> 00:45:45,243
The Chairman of the Fed,
the girl that won the essay contest.
554
00:45:45,243 --> 00:45:47,370
Remember, I ran the story on her,
election day?
555
00:45:47,845 --> 00:45:50,780
This is perfect! The network wants
to do an interview with her daddy.
556
00:45:51,015 --> 00:45:52,951
I'm not going
to use this little girl!
557
00:45:52,951 --> 00:45:55,476
I've told you this before.
I have integrity, like Paula Zahn.
558
00:45:55,553 --> 00:45:57,322
I met Paula Zahn.
559
00:45:57,322 --> 00:46:00,018
Paula Zahn eats
where my friend is a waiter, alright?
560
00:46:00,091 --> 00:46:02,651
I don't want to hurt
your feelings, you're no Paula Zahn.
561
00:46:02,727 --> 00:46:03,785
No Paula Zahn?
562
00:46:03,895 --> 00:46:06,397
I booked this story.
It was me.
563
00:46:06,397 --> 00:46:10,527
Yes, that's why everybody here
is trying to rip it out from under you.
564
00:46:10,802 --> 00:46:14,294
You want a desk in New York,
you want a desk in Los Angeles?
565
00:46:14,405 --> 00:46:16,839
Forget everything you learned
in journalism school.
566
00:46:17,008 --> 00:46:21,911
This isn't new anymore. This isn't life.
This is bigger. This is television!
567
00:46:53,544 --> 00:46:56,414
The Johnsons have been virtually
besieged inside their trailer.
568
00:46:56,414 --> 00:46:59,315
But we're lucky to be joined
by their pizza delivery man.
569
00:46:59,484 --> 00:47:02,351
How would you characterize
Earnest Johnson's state of mind?
570
00:47:03,254 --> 00:47:05,518
Mostly I'd say, he was hungry.
571
00:47:05,623 --> 00:47:06,749
He was hungry.
572
00:47:07,725 --> 00:47:08,893
Well, there you have it.
573
00:47:08,893 --> 00:47:10,258
I ain't tipping him anymore.
574
00:47:10,528 --> 00:47:13,190
I ought to trim
Mrs. Hardy's elm.
575
00:47:13,898 --> 00:47:17,857
Looks like it's moving in our roof.
What do you think?
576
00:47:18,736 --> 00:47:21,296
Hard to tell.
What do you think?
577
00:47:22,774 --> 00:47:23,536
Definitely.
578
00:47:25,243 --> 00:47:27,905
Since has become the most Googled
town in the world...
579
00:47:28,146 --> 00:47:30,740
narrowly edging out in Jihad.
580
00:48:01,612 --> 00:48:02,840
Holy crap!
581
00:48:03,281 --> 00:48:04,543
- You Bud?
- Yeah!
582
00:48:04,682 --> 00:48:06,582
You're Richard Petty.
583
00:48:06,884 --> 00:48:07,680
You got it, man.
584
00:48:08,119 --> 00:48:10,417
Hold on. Honey!
It's the king!
585
00:48:10,721 --> 00:48:14,384
I got a friend down the road I want
you to meet. You wanna go for a ride?
586
00:48:17,695 --> 00:48:21,324
Yes!
Could my daughter come?
587
00:48:21,499 --> 00:48:24,832
In that case, maybe you'd better
drive. Precious cargo and all!
588
00:48:30,408 --> 00:48:33,104
Just a minute, Mr. Petty.
Hey, Chubby!
589
00:48:33,711 --> 00:48:37,408
Just because it ain't rolling, don't
make it furniture! Back out of here!
590
00:48:38,716 --> 00:48:40,047
Come on, baby! We gotta go!
591
00:48:41,119 --> 00:48:42,381
You're Richard Petty!
592
00:48:50,962 --> 00:48:53,089
Molly! Get a picture, honey.
593
00:48:53,631 --> 00:48:58,398
If you told me two days ago
that I'd be driving your Dodge...
594
00:48:58,669 --> 00:48:59,897
- Did you get it?
- Yes.
595
00:49:00,171 --> 00:49:03,572
Get one more. Get it with my chin
out a little bit. Like that.
596
00:49:04,542 --> 00:49:05,440
Like a hero.
597
00:49:06,844 --> 00:49:08,175
I told you, you crazy!
598
00:49:08,479 --> 00:49:10,174
You ain't seen nothing yet.
599
00:49:38,442 --> 00:49:39,067
Bud!
600
00:49:40,244 --> 00:49:41,905
This is the President's plane.
601
00:49:44,482 --> 00:49:48,578
Hello, you be Molly. I'm Mr. Fox,
I work with the President.
602
00:49:48,986 --> 00:49:50,920
Hi.
Hi. Bud, Martin Fox.
603
00:49:51,722 --> 00:49:53,781
- Hello.
- How are you? Come in.
604
00:49:53,858 --> 00:49:55,587
Take your hat off please.
Your hat.
605
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,326
So, this is the Johnson family.
606
00:49:58,896 --> 00:50:00,557
Welcome to Air Force One.
Hi, Molly.
607
00:50:00,765 --> 00:50:02,289
- Thanks for having us, sir.
- It's a pleasure.
608
00:50:02,500 --> 00:50:04,195
- Mr. President.
- Huh?
609
00:50:05,002 --> 00:50:06,060
Call him Mr. President.
610
00:50:08,105 --> 00:50:09,902
It's an honor, Mr. President.
611
00:50:10,074 --> 00:50:12,133
It's an honor to meet you, Bud.
May I call you Bud?
612
00:50:12,243 --> 00:50:14,302
Yes, Mr. President.
613
00:50:14,745 --> 00:50:15,643
Come on in, come on.
614
00:50:17,982 --> 00:50:18,710
God, this...
615
00:50:19,917 --> 00:50:22,715
This place
is it's really something!
616
00:50:24,589 --> 00:50:26,284
It's my little home in the sky.
617
00:50:26,991 --> 00:50:30,757
It's kinda,
like a trailer with wings.
618
00:50:31,662 --> 00:50:32,856
Fine analogy, Bud.
619
00:50:33,331 --> 00:50:36,300
Molly, I saw your speech
on TV the other night.
620
00:50:36,500 --> 00:50:37,489
Very impressive!
621
00:50:39,136 --> 00:50:42,206
- Say thank you, baby.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
622
00:50:42,206 --> 00:50:44,037
- You must be a very proud father.
- Yes, sir.
623
00:50:45,776 --> 00:50:49,712
God, I'm sorry.
Mr. President.
624
00:50:51,249 --> 00:50:54,619
You can see why she's definitely
the brains of our operation.
625
00:50:54,619 --> 00:50:57,053
I know what you mean.
We all need a Molly.
626
00:50:57,488 --> 00:50:59,319
Marty here, is my Molly.
627
00:50:59,590 --> 00:51:03,961
That's right. Molly,
I bet a smart kid like you...
628
00:51:03,961 --> 00:51:05,656
would love to see the war room.
629
00:51:06,597 --> 00:51:07,665
No, thanks.
630
00:51:07,665 --> 00:51:11,362
Why don't we have a peek and then your
dad and the President can have a talk.
631
00:51:11,435 --> 00:51:14,404
Go on, Honey.
Daddy has to talk to the President.
632
00:51:17,808 --> 00:51:19,173
She's a firecracker!
633
00:51:19,243 --> 00:51:22,144
Yes, sir, she's the whole deal!
634
00:51:23,581 --> 00:51:26,049
I wouldn't mind seeing
the war room, Mr. President.
635
00:51:26,751 --> 00:51:30,482
I'll show it to you later.
And please, call me Andy.
636
00:51:31,856 --> 00:51:32,788
- Andy?
- Yeah.
637
00:51:35,192 --> 00:51:37,828
Are you sure,
that-that other guy...
638
00:51:37,828 --> 00:51:40,388
I know, things can get
a little formal around here.
639
00:51:40,665 --> 00:51:43,133
Commander in Chief, running
the country and all that. Please.
640
00:51:43,634 --> 00:51:46,228
I am just an ordinary man,
like you...
641
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,367
The kinda guy you can sit down
and have a beer with.
642
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:50,771
Would you like a beer, Bud?
643
00:51:54,578 --> 00:51:55,169
A beer?
644
00:51:58,582 --> 00:51:59,276
No shit?
645
00:51:59,984 --> 00:52:00,746
No shit.
646
00:52:02,553 --> 00:52:03,542
Well, then...
647
00:52:04,889 --> 00:52:07,619
- Yes. Hell, yeah, Andy.
- Okay!
648
00:52:08,025 --> 00:52:09,959
David, would you get us
a couple of beers, please?
649
00:52:10,127 --> 00:52:12,254
- Thank you very much.
- So...
650
00:52:12,830 --> 00:52:15,663
you're gonna have some
story to tell your friends.
651
00:52:18,369 --> 00:52:22,567
I read about you in the paper.
They say you've never lost an election.
652
00:52:23,107 --> 00:52:26,634
That's right. You can learn
a lot from reading the newspaper.
653
00:52:27,445 --> 00:52:31,506
They also said that you don't
believe in anything anymore.
654
00:52:32,383 --> 00:52:34,214
Even if it meant
selling your mother's soul.
655
00:52:34,285 --> 00:52:37,880
No, see, no, see that's libelous,
Because my mother is a wonderful...
656
00:52:38,055 --> 00:52:41,183
wonderful, wonderful woman.
657
00:52:54,772 --> 00:52:56,535
If you met my mother,
you'd understand.
658
00:52:58,642 --> 00:52:59,836
You a football fan, Bud?
659
00:53:01,045 --> 00:53:04,572
Well, I'm an American, aren't I?
660
00:53:06,450 --> 00:53:08,475
I played a little in high school.
661
00:53:08,986 --> 00:53:10,317
Did you now? What position?
662
00:53:10,454 --> 00:53:11,443
I was quarterback.
663
00:53:11,889 --> 00:53:16,588
I always thought football was
a strategic game. A lot like diplomacy.
664
00:53:16,660 --> 00:53:20,331
You got your offense, your defense,
the President is like your quarterback...
665
00:53:20,331 --> 00:53:21,798
and the American voters...
666
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,501
Well... they're like the coach.
667
00:53:27,438 --> 00:53:28,837
Never thought of it that way.
668
00:53:28,906 --> 00:53:30,508
Now the coach's job
is to make sure...
669
00:53:30,508 --> 00:53:34,569
that the right man has
the football at the critical time.
670
00:53:35,112 --> 00:53:37,080
I know exactly what you mean,
Andy.
671
00:53:37,982 --> 00:53:38,710
Do you?
672
00:53:41,552 --> 00:53:42,450
Maybe not.
673
00:53:46,257 --> 00:53:47,417
Bring in the football, please.
674
00:53:50,795 --> 00:53:51,261
Bud.
675
00:53:53,998 --> 00:53:55,056
You wanna hold the football?
676
00:53:56,767 --> 00:53:57,893
There's a football in there?
677
00:54:03,207 --> 00:54:05,232
That case holds
the launch codes...
678
00:54:05,776 --> 00:54:07,607
to America's nuclear arsenal.
679
00:54:09,079 --> 00:54:10,512
That's what
this election's all about.
680
00:54:11,782 --> 00:54:16,810
Launch codes like...
missiles and shit?
681
00:54:16,887 --> 00:54:20,323
I want you to pretend
that America is a team...
682
00:54:21,258 --> 00:54:23,590
- and you're the coach.
- Okay.
683
00:54:23,661 --> 00:54:27,364
Let's say it's the 4th quarter. We've
got possession, but we're down by five.
684
00:54:27,364 --> 00:54:29,800
North Korea has us pinned
in our own fifteenth line...
685
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:34,737
with one second on the dooms day clock.
What are you doing to do?
686
00:54:34,905 --> 00:54:39,968
Okay, you go long. The only thing
standing between victory and defeat...
687
00:54:40,478 --> 00:54:42,673
is a successful Hail Mary.
One play.
688
00:54:43,447 --> 00:54:45,005
Who are you
gonna give the ball to, Bud?
689
00:54:45,082 --> 00:54:48,419
Do you pin your hopes on some
liberal second string quarterback...
690
00:54:48,419 --> 00:54:51,650
who hasn't had five minutes
in the big show? Of course you don't.
691
00:54:53,724 --> 00:54:55,055
You do the smart thing.
692
00:54:55,693 --> 00:54:59,296
The only thing. You go
with your strongest arm, the man...
693
00:54:59,296 --> 00:55:01,230
who's carried you through the season,
who's never let you down.
694
00:55:07,404 --> 00:55:09,872
Bud, America's counting on you.
695
00:55:10,441 --> 00:55:14,070
Yes, sir.
I'm not gonna let them down.
696
00:55:14,612 --> 00:55:15,476
But, here.
697
00:55:18,382 --> 00:55:20,850
Wouldn't want to drop
the old football.
698
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:23,084
Blow up France or something.
699
00:55:24,488 --> 00:55:25,222
You couldn't.
700
00:55:25,222 --> 00:55:29,852
There's a whole bunch of secret
codes and these special little keys.
701
00:55:30,394 --> 00:55:31,053
Here's to you!
702
00:55:33,531 --> 00:55:36,762
Look at all... Look at all
this stuff they give us, Molly.
703
00:55:37,401 --> 00:55:40,837
They give us the same shampoo
that the President uses.
704
00:55:41,238 --> 00:55:42,205
Great.
705
00:55:47,845 --> 00:55:49,972
So, what did you guys talk about?
706
00:55:53,384 --> 00:55:55,545
- Stuff.
- What stuff?
707
00:55:55,819 --> 00:55:56,843
You know...
708
00:55:58,622 --> 00:55:59,714
grown up stuff.
709
00:56:00,057 --> 00:56:01,046
Like?
710
00:56:02,226 --> 00:56:03,386
Like...
711
00:56:07,965 --> 00:56:08,590
Bud!
712
00:56:10,401 --> 00:56:11,595
What stuff?
713
00:56:11,669 --> 00:56:14,797
Like grown up stuff.
You know, coaching. Football.
714
00:56:15,372 --> 00:56:17,135
Geothermal nuclear war.
715
00:56:19,710 --> 00:56:22,110
Andy's, a great... great guy.
716
00:56:22,179 --> 00:56:25,706
He's not Andy.
He's the President of the United States.
717
00:56:25,849 --> 00:56:27,009
And he just wants your vote.
718
00:56:27,785 --> 00:56:30,310
And gee, guess what?
He's gonna get it.
719
00:56:30,421 --> 00:56:32,048
It's not even yours to give!
720
00:56:33,691 --> 00:56:34,350
You're gonna...
721
00:56:37,261 --> 00:56:38,660
ruin everything.
722
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,695
Andy, the President,
invited me to watch the game...
723
00:56:42,866 --> 00:56:44,501
- with him on Monday night.
- That's a bribe!
724
00:56:44,501 --> 00:56:46,526
That's not a bribe.
725
00:56:46,604 --> 00:56:47,730
- Is too.
- It is not.
726
00:56:47,805 --> 00:56:49,033
- Is too.
- It is not.
727
00:56:49,106 --> 00:56:51,472
- Is too!
- Is not! What it is, "too"?
728
00:56:52,843 --> 00:56:54,878
- What the hell do you know?
- More than you.
729
00:56:54,878 --> 00:56:55,980
- You do not.
- Do too.
730
00:56:55,980 --> 00:56:57,743
- You do not.
- Do too.
731
00:57:01,652 --> 00:57:03,244
- Fine.
- Fine.
732
00:57:09,393 --> 00:57:11,725
Did you smell
all the leather on that plane?
733
00:57:17,935 --> 00:57:20,529
If I made you feel second best
734
00:57:22,439 --> 00:57:24,737
I'm sorry I was blind
735
00:57:25,643 --> 00:57:27,543
No, baby, leave it, leave it.
That's Willie.
736
00:57:29,813 --> 00:57:32,338
You were always on my mind
737
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:37,254
Hi, I'm Willie Nelson.
738
00:57:37,254 --> 00:57:40,382
And when I'm not performing,
I'm usually getting involved.
739
00:57:40,791 --> 00:57:43,885
Hey, Bud, if you're out there
and you're watching...
740
00:57:44,294 --> 00:57:45,727
He's talking to us!
741
00:57:45,796 --> 00:57:49,667
There's a special dinner,
especially for you in your honor...
742
00:57:49,667 --> 00:57:55,333
hosted by my good friend and
Presidential candidate Donald Greenleaf.
743
00:57:55,572 --> 00:57:57,972
- I'll see you here tonight.
- I'll do it, Willie!
744
00:58:00,978 --> 00:58:02,843
This is really getting weird.
745
00:58:30,874 --> 00:58:32,409
Democrat or a Republican?
746
00:58:32,409 --> 00:58:35,845
I'm Art Crumb,
Donald Greenleaf's campaign manager.
747
00:58:36,113 --> 00:58:37,910
- Nice to meet you.
- Same here.
748
00:58:38,282 --> 00:58:43,219
You must be Molly. Quite an essay.
You have a future in politics one day.
749
00:58:43,554 --> 00:58:45,385
You might too. One day.
750
00:58:48,392 --> 00:58:49,120
Shall we go in?
751
00:58:52,029 --> 00:58:53,997
Not too hard to be nice,
come on.
752
00:58:54,798 --> 00:58:56,595
Party. Party!
753
00:58:57,501 --> 00:59:00,265
Right this way...
make yourselves at home.
754
00:59:02,940 --> 00:59:03,406
Hello.
755
00:59:03,874 --> 00:59:06,104
As you can see,
we've got a lovely buffet.
756
00:59:06,276 --> 00:59:07,607
Would you like a bud, Bud?
757
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:10,105
Sure.
758
00:59:11,348 --> 00:59:15,444
Look at that.
You got chipped meat on toast.
759
00:59:16,286 --> 00:59:17,685
My momma used
to make that for me.
760
00:59:18,388 --> 00:59:20,124
- No kidding?
- Yes.
761
00:59:20,124 --> 00:59:21,819
There's all you can eat.
762
00:59:22,359 --> 00:59:23,383
It's all in your honor.
763
00:59:23,761 --> 00:59:26,355
And there's all the Willie Nelson
you can listen to.
764
00:59:26,630 --> 00:59:28,427
I understand
you're an aficionado.
765
00:59:28,632 --> 00:59:32,432
Yes, sir, I was in an all Willie
tribute band for about five years.
766
00:59:32,736 --> 00:59:34,260
Called ourselves
The Half Nelsons.
767
00:59:35,172 --> 00:59:36,230
Only his songs?
768
00:59:36,540 --> 00:59:39,373
No other request.
But you know, I got my own stuff.
769
00:59:40,611 --> 00:59:42,841
So, why don't you guys
do one of your songs tonight?
770
00:59:45,282 --> 00:59:49,685
I would but my rhythm
section's incarcerated.
771
00:59:50,521 --> 00:59:52,011
We've pulled a few strings.
772
00:59:52,222 --> 00:59:55,092
- Hey, Bud! Bud!
- Hey, boys!
773
00:59:55,092 --> 00:59:55,922
Come on up!
774
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:57,984
They paying us?
775
00:59:58,061 --> 01:00:01,656
You really did, you got them out.
Thank you. Pull strings.
776
01:00:01,899 --> 01:00:06,893
Bud! Buddy, Buddy!
Buddy, look at me!
777
01:00:07,504 --> 01:00:11,907
Damn, Hank, you look good.
Just like prom.
778
01:00:13,443 --> 01:00:19,313
Thank you. Thank you, amigo.
This is the best day of my life.
779
01:00:23,353 --> 01:00:26,015
There's someone very
special I'd like you to meet.
780
01:00:27,524 --> 01:00:29,287
Mr. Johnson!
781
01:00:34,698 --> 01:00:36,188
Donald Greenleaf.
782
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:37,196
Too tight.
783
01:00:45,175 --> 01:00:47,473
Hell of a party you got here,
Mr. Greenleaf.
784
01:00:47,544 --> 01:00:51,378
Yes, sir. We democrats
are one hell of a party.
785
01:00:52,716 --> 01:00:53,808
Call me Don.
786
01:00:56,787 --> 01:00:57,754
Okay, Don.
787
01:00:59,356 --> 01:01:00,345
The stage awaits.
788
01:01:04,695 --> 01:01:06,026
Well, he said so, right?
789
01:01:33,357 --> 01:01:35,951
Pontiac, Pontiac
790
01:01:36,159 --> 01:01:39,060
Out there in my backyard.
791
01:01:39,162 --> 01:01:43,622
I'm gonna fix it up, paint it red
gonna make that engine go
792
01:01:48,405 --> 01:01:50,896
Chevrolet, Chevrolet
793
01:01:51,108 --> 01:01:53,702
Chevy year that running
Past fly, this and that
794
01:01:54,111 --> 01:01:59,413
Gonna make that engine go
You ready?
795
01:02:01,818 --> 01:02:06,278
They're all in my backyard
Them old cars
796
01:02:07,324 --> 01:02:09,526
I love everyone of them
797
01:02:09,526 --> 01:02:12,017
Molly?
You remember me?
798
01:02:13,263 --> 01:02:14,491
Hi, Ms. Madison.
799
01:02:15,999 --> 01:02:17,899
Don't worry,
I didn't bring a camera.
800
01:02:19,970 --> 01:02:23,098
I'm gonna get one running yet.
801
01:02:25,108 --> 01:02:29,306
All this craziness.
I don't know how you're doing it.
802
01:02:34,051 --> 01:02:37,543
If you ever want to talk,
you call me anytime, okay?
803
01:02:38,221 --> 01:02:41,088
I'm gonna give you my card.
There you go.
804
01:02:44,461 --> 01:02:46,452
You want an interview
with Bud, right?
805
01:02:47,931 --> 01:02:49,228
I'd like him to think about it.
806
01:02:53,437 --> 01:02:54,131
Okay.
807
01:02:54,705 --> 01:02:57,538
I'll get one running yet
808
01:03:00,911 --> 01:03:02,936
I'll get one running yet
809
01:03:06,316 --> 01:03:08,648
I'll get one running yet
810
01:03:16,293 --> 01:03:19,262
I'll get one running yet
811
01:03:22,566 --> 01:03:24,864
I'll get one running yet
812
01:03:35,912 --> 01:03:37,539
Bud! You're the man!
813
01:03:41,985 --> 01:03:44,886
Well... I like you, Bud.
814
01:03:45,322 --> 01:03:48,689
You seem to be a real
genuine sort of guy.
815
01:03:48,759 --> 01:03:49,589
Thanks, Don.
816
01:03:49,860 --> 01:03:52,351
Tell me about yourself.
You got any hobbies?
817
01:03:53,130 --> 01:03:54,062
Just...
818
01:03:55,599 --> 01:03:56,964
just fishing.
819
01:04:00,370 --> 01:04:01,735
You're a fellow angler!
820
01:04:03,106 --> 01:04:04,505
What kind of rod do you use?
821
01:04:04,741 --> 01:04:09,405
Well, I use a six and a half foot
graphite Johnny Morris signature series.
822
01:04:10,447 --> 01:04:10,936
Heavy?
823
01:04:12,215 --> 01:04:13,079
Medium heavy.
824
01:04:13,950 --> 01:04:16,646
Bait catching reel,
twelve pound test.
825
01:04:18,522 --> 01:04:19,284
Don't tell me.
826
01:04:19,990 --> 01:04:23,619
Seven inch power grub,
purple shaky worm.
827
01:04:25,462 --> 01:04:29,421
Yes, sir! Damn, he, he,
you know your equipment!
828
01:04:29,633 --> 01:04:31,430
I figured you for a bass man.
829
01:04:31,668 --> 01:04:32,692
Well, I...
830
01:04:32,869 --> 01:04:35,269
try to take Molly out
as much as I can.
831
01:04:35,439 --> 01:04:38,203
We caught a two dinner stripe
on the Pecos just the other day.
832
01:04:39,142 --> 01:04:40,803
I'm sorry to hear that, Bud.
833
01:04:41,912 --> 01:04:42,571
Why?
834
01:04:42,879 --> 01:04:47,316
There's a bill in the House
targeting the Pecos River for...
835
01:04:48,318 --> 01:04:49,376
reallocation.
836
01:04:52,656 --> 01:04:53,884
You lost me there.
837
01:04:54,491 --> 01:04:56,891
That's where a big
corporation builds a dam.
838
01:04:57,327 --> 01:05:00,694
Limits the flow of water, the fish
can't get to their spawning grounds...
839
01:05:01,164 --> 01:05:03,530
eventually the whole
population dies off.
840
01:05:05,702 --> 01:05:10,264
That sucks, because I've been
fishing there my whole life.
841
01:05:10,607 --> 01:05:13,910
You'd better look for another river,
because President Boone has received...
842
01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:17,175
ten million dollars in contributions
from the energy company...
843
01:05:17,347 --> 01:05:19,679
and he's got to pay
them back somehow.
844
01:05:20,584 --> 01:05:25,078
Come on, now. Come on,
Andy wouldn't do that.
845
01:05:25,522 --> 01:05:28,457
He already did, Bud.
He already did.
846
01:05:30,727 --> 01:05:32,490
Okay. Can't you do something?
847
01:05:32,863 --> 01:05:34,330
If I'm elected President.
848
01:05:44,841 --> 01:05:45,330
What?
849
01:05:45,876 --> 01:05:48,310
No, tell me
exactly what was said.
850
01:05:50,180 --> 01:05:54,549
It's my commitment to protect
the wild places in this country...
851
01:05:54,918 --> 01:05:56,317
for future generations.
852
01:05:56,953 --> 01:05:58,750
And I'm not going
to stop there, Bud.
853
01:05:59,723 --> 01:06:02,317
With your help,
my administration...
854
01:06:02,526 --> 01:06:05,051
will be a leader
in environmental protections.
855
01:06:22,846 --> 01:06:24,074
My fellow Americans...
856
01:06:24,614 --> 01:06:29,745
I give you, the Pecos River
National Wildlife Preserve!
857
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:47,697
And what can only be characterized
as a complete policy reversal...
858
01:06:47,804 --> 01:06:51,433
the President has surely
alienated his corporate donors...
859
01:06:51,508 --> 01:06:54,272
by adopting
a pro-environment stance.
860
01:06:54,678 --> 01:06:56,580
Bud and Molly Johnson
were on hand today...
861
01:06:56,580 --> 01:06:58,241
We are the environmental party!
862
01:06:59,583 --> 01:07:01,551
Those bastards
stole our platform.
863
01:07:02,352 --> 01:07:05,555
Put the PR people on standby.
864
01:07:05,555 --> 01:07:08,524
- You want Spiegelman Fischer?
- Too high brow.
865
01:07:08,825 --> 01:07:11,350
- What about those iPod guys?
- No, Larry, too urban.
866
01:07:13,530 --> 01:07:15,623
Get the guys
who do those Miller Lite spots.
867
01:07:15,699 --> 01:07:17,894
The ones with those girls
wrestling in the fountain.
868
01:07:18,268 --> 01:07:19,530
I don't know, Mr. Crumb.
869
01:07:19,603 --> 01:07:22,128
I like the narrator's voice.
His cadence.
870
01:07:23,573 --> 01:07:24,369
Just call them.
871
01:07:24,708 --> 01:07:28,211
Galena hates those ads, Artie,
she says they send the wrong message.
872
01:07:28,211 --> 01:07:31,180
Your wife's not our target demographic,
that son of a bitch is.
873
01:07:33,883 --> 01:07:34,747
Great.
874
01:07:36,620 --> 01:07:38,713
He's got the Secret Service
running flight patterns!
875
01:07:45,161 --> 01:07:49,689
All we need is an issue
that matters to this guy.
876
01:07:49,933 --> 01:07:51,798
One issue, one man...
877
01:07:54,371 --> 01:07:55,099
one vote.
878
01:07:59,409 --> 01:08:00,501
Boy.
879
01:08:05,548 --> 01:08:06,378
I already own it.
880
01:08:07,183 --> 01:08:09,583
Alright, I'm gonna buy a hotel.
881
01:08:16,793 --> 01:08:20,126
Hi, there.
I've got a delivery for Bud Johnson.
882
01:08:20,830 --> 01:08:21,455
From who?
883
01:08:23,166 --> 01:08:24,064
From everyone.
884
01:08:47,290 --> 01:08:49,781
Tell me,
what drives Bud Johnson?
885
01:08:52,962 --> 01:08:56,454
Right now,
an '89 Chevy Silverado.
886
01:08:58,001 --> 01:09:01,402
You don't have to lift that up.
If you leave it, it's probably better.
887
01:09:01,471 --> 01:09:04,407
- This thing is getting away from you.
- I'm doing the best I can.
888
01:09:04,407 --> 01:09:07,711
Do better! I thought you wanted
to get out of this shithole town!
889
01:09:07,711 --> 01:09:09,178
I want to get out the facts!
890
01:09:11,815 --> 01:09:14,079
You hear that? The clicking.
891
01:09:14,651 --> 01:09:16,016
Click, click.
892
01:09:16,786 --> 01:09:20,722
The sound of a million remote controls
changing the channel on your ass.
893
01:09:20,924 --> 01:09:22,858
Click equals death!
894
01:09:23,259 --> 01:09:26,496
You got to get people a reason to watch.
This is the prime time news.
895
01:09:26,496 --> 01:09:28,589
The key word, being new!
896
01:09:29,466 --> 01:09:32,594
Find me something.
You just got taken down by Mary Hart!
897
01:09:33,470 --> 01:09:38,575
Bud, in looking at it, is there
any issue in particular that...
898
01:09:38,575 --> 01:09:40,133
has touched you personally?
899
01:09:41,511 --> 01:09:45,140
Yeah, yeah, insourcing.
900
01:09:45,648 --> 01:09:47,309
You mean, outsourcing.
901
01:09:47,484 --> 01:09:49,509
No, I mean in.
902
01:09:49,986 --> 01:09:52,021
- Can you elaborate?
- Yeah, well...
903
01:09:52,021 --> 01:09:56,082
where I used to work, there's a bunch
of guys I know, they got laid off.
904
01:09:57,026 --> 01:10:01,264
Instead of sending our jobs,
losing our jobs to Mexico...
905
01:10:01,264 --> 01:10:03,789
they're bringing
in Mexicans to take our jobs.
906
01:10:06,069 --> 01:10:07,263
And we're out.
907
01:10:07,937 --> 01:10:11,241
Wait a minute, could I say that again?
I don't think that came out right.
908
01:10:11,241 --> 01:10:12,503
That came out great.
909
01:10:13,576 --> 01:10:15,134
That came out very well,
Mr. Johnson.
910
01:10:16,413 --> 01:10:18,608
Very authentic.
Central casting?
911
01:10:19,048 --> 01:10:20,140
Border patrol?
912
01:10:22,051 --> 01:10:24,485
So, they're actual
undocumented workers?
913
01:10:25,188 --> 01:10:27,315
We prefer undocumented actors.
914
01:10:29,459 --> 01:10:31,893
Alright, rehearsal's up,
back it into one please!
915
01:10:37,801 --> 01:10:40,429
But we courted
the Pro-Immigrant movement.
916
01:10:40,570 --> 01:10:44,631
Inclusiveness is the foundation
of our party. It's our base!
917
01:10:44,707 --> 01:10:48,165
We no longer have a base.
Bud Johnson's our base.
918
01:10:48,378 --> 01:10:50,676
I don't even recognize
myself anymore.
919
01:10:51,514 --> 01:10:53,505
And what about...
Rainbow House?
920
01:10:53,716 --> 01:10:56,981
Screw!
This guy cares about immigration.
921
01:10:57,353 --> 01:11:00,516
You wanna win? Go out there and rip
the Statue of Liberty a new one!
922
01:11:01,324 --> 01:11:02,655
And action!
923
01:11:03,293 --> 01:11:06,996
Bud, in the last four years,
President Boone...
924
01:11:06,996 --> 01:11:11,092
has allowed millions of illegal
aliens to cross the border...
925
01:11:11,167 --> 01:11:15,194
Flooding cities like Los Angeles,
New York and Texico.
926
01:11:15,338 --> 01:11:19,742
With your help, Bud, my administration
will mend our broken borders...
927
01:11:19,742 --> 01:11:21,676
and stop insourcing.
928
01:11:22,045 --> 01:11:25,014
A vote for Greenleaf
is a vote for America...
929
01:11:25,482 --> 01:11:28,610
An America
where Americans come first.
930
01:11:28,751 --> 01:11:32,812
This land is our land, Bud.
Help me keep it that way.
931
01:11:35,258 --> 01:11:39,058
Dear Tommy, I was very moved
by the letter from your 6th grade class.
932
01:11:39,496 --> 01:11:41,930
Global warming
is a serious issue...
933
01:11:42,131 --> 01:11:45,768
and I promise to make it a top priority
in my discussions with the candidates.
934
01:11:45,768 --> 01:11:48,532
"Dear Mrs. Anderson,
thank you for your letter.
935
01:11:48,805 --> 01:11:53,243
I am doing everything I can to press
the candidates about health insurance."
936
01:11:53,243 --> 01:11:56,701
"Dear Mr. Olsen, I sympathize
with your fears about job security.
937
01:11:56,779 --> 01:11:59,407
I promise you,
I will not ignore the issues...
938
01:11:59,482 --> 01:12:02,883
Education, veterans,
the economy...
939
01:12:03,286 --> 01:12:05,618
health care, the environment.
940
01:12:06,689 --> 01:12:10,625
I am working tirelessly.
I'm doing everything I can.
941
01:12:10,994 --> 01:12:14,862
Sincerely,
Earnest Bud Johnson."
942
01:12:45,361 --> 01:12:45,884
Now!
943
01:12:48,097 --> 01:12:48,586
Now!
944
01:12:49,632 --> 01:12:50,929
Oh, my God! Don!
945
01:12:51,301 --> 01:12:52,734
The goose is down!
946
01:12:54,470 --> 01:12:55,437
How many fingers?
947
01:12:57,106 --> 01:12:59,904
America wants to know
what it's like to be Bud Johnson.
948
01:13:01,344 --> 01:13:02,470
It doesn't suck.
949
01:13:02,912 --> 01:13:03,742
Come on!
950
01:13:03,913 --> 01:13:07,007
I've heard you've received
marriage proposals in the mail, true?
951
01:13:07,250 --> 01:13:11,710
Yeah, you can tell
that Miss September...
952
01:13:12,555 --> 01:13:16,184
that
I'm weighing my options.
953
01:13:16,392 --> 01:13:17,689
Hurry up, Bud!
954
01:13:17,894 --> 01:13:20,761
People Magazine named you
the Sexiest Man of the Year.
955
01:13:21,097 --> 01:13:24,191
Yeah? Well, what can I say?
956
01:13:25,501 --> 01:13:26,832
Guilty as charged!
957
01:13:28,771 --> 01:13:29,499
These people!
958
01:13:29,572 --> 01:13:32,803
Molly, what do you think of your Dad?
What do you think?
959
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:49,119
Go ahead, go on. Stick your head up
with that little camera. You turd!
960
01:13:52,228 --> 01:13:54,423
Bud... Bud!
961
01:13:54,831 --> 01:13:56,799
- Freeze!
- Stop.
962
01:13:57,734 --> 01:13:58,359
Stop.
963
01:14:00,103 --> 01:14:00,626
Stop!
964
01:14:02,071 --> 01:14:06,531
Come on, Molly? It's just chocolate.
From the gun people.
965
01:14:07,110 --> 01:14:09,135
- I fixed you bacon and eggs.
- You did?
966
01:14:09,846 --> 01:14:10,580
That's nice!
967
01:14:10,580 --> 01:14:13,606
- I want you to look nice.
- What's the occasion?
968
01:14:14,150 --> 01:14:15,879
There's someone
I think you should talk to.
969
01:14:16,419 --> 01:14:16,908
Sit.
970
01:14:18,454 --> 01:14:22,151
She's different than all the others.
I think her heart's in the right place.
971
01:14:22,458 --> 01:14:25,291
I want you to try not to say
anything embarrassing, okay?
972
01:14:26,429 --> 01:14:28,158
- To who?
- Ms. Madison.
973
01:14:29,999 --> 01:14:32,194
- The TV woman?
- She's outside.
974
01:14:33,102 --> 01:14:35,332
- She's outside?
- Yes. In the kitchen.
975
01:14:36,506 --> 01:14:38,371
- She's in our kitchen?
- Yes.
976
01:14:39,842 --> 01:14:41,776
Just try and be normal.
977
01:14:43,379 --> 01:14:44,368
Do I smell?
978
01:14:45,148 --> 01:14:50,211
Then, give me the Old Spice.
God darn it! I was just having some fun!
979
01:14:56,959 --> 01:14:58,688
Molly, these eggs are amazing.
980
01:14:59,629 --> 01:15:01,756
Yes, they sure are.
981
01:15:02,699 --> 01:15:03,358
Thanks.
982
01:15:08,638 --> 01:15:09,468
Well...
983
01:15:10,973 --> 01:15:13,168
I like this new look on you.
984
01:15:13,443 --> 01:15:16,207
It's good, isn't it?
Professional.
985
01:15:16,546 --> 01:15:19,413
Yeah, its damn good.
986
01:15:20,850 --> 01:15:25,287
Anyway, Bud, I was thinking about
interviewing you over the next days.
987
01:15:25,755 --> 01:15:27,689
Get to know you
and your thoughts.
988
01:15:28,791 --> 01:15:32,090
Think people really care
about my thoughts?
989
01:15:32,195 --> 01:15:34,720
I really do considering
the choice you're about to make.
990
01:15:38,167 --> 01:15:39,635
Did you say
you went to Texico High?
991
01:15:39,635 --> 01:15:42,627
She did.
Only her name was Morales.
992
01:15:43,339 --> 01:15:44,135
Morales?
993
01:15:46,943 --> 01:15:52,779
You're kidding.
One of Bobby Morales little sisters?
994
01:15:52,849 --> 01:15:54,612
Yeah, that's me.
995
01:15:55,418 --> 01:15:56,680
Small world!
996
01:15:56,886 --> 01:16:00,322
Small town.
Then, Bud, are you ready?
997
01:16:01,224 --> 01:16:01,952
It's a good time?
998
01:16:03,292 --> 01:16:04,816
Yeah, go ahead, shoot.
999
01:16:19,175 --> 01:16:19,903
Thanks, Bud.
1000
01:16:22,211 --> 01:16:25,078
Why don't we get started
with your opinion of gay marriage.
1001
01:16:25,148 --> 01:16:28,311
Shit! Do we have to?
1002
01:16:28,384 --> 01:16:31,751
- So, you're against it.
- I... no, I didn't say that.
1003
01:16:32,088 --> 01:16:33,715
Then, what is your position?
1004
01:16:34,090 --> 01:16:38,527
I don't have a position on it. Actually,
I don't give a rat's ass about it.
1005
01:16:39,228 --> 01:16:42,994
My daddy always said whatever a king
does in his castle is his business.
1006
01:16:43,166 --> 01:16:47,227
I guess the same can go
for two queens.
1007
01:16:52,909 --> 01:16:56,970
I'm President Boone, and I'd like
you to meet a few friends of mine.
1008
01:16:57,613 --> 01:17:00,173
They're our doctors,
and our peace officers.
1009
01:17:00,616 --> 01:17:03,915
They teach our children,
they serve nobly in our armed forces.
1010
01:17:04,086 --> 01:17:06,289
For two long,
homosexual Americans...
1011
01:17:06,289 --> 01:17:08,314
have been persecuted
by the country they love.
1012
01:17:08,891 --> 01:17:14,124
This President, if re-elected,
will implement the open door initiative.
1013
01:17:14,630 --> 01:17:19,465
Gay Americans alike will be able
to proudly step out of the closet...
1014
01:17:19,602 --> 01:17:24,699
and on to the alter, to exchange the
sacred vows enjoyed by the rest of us.
1015
01:17:25,308 --> 01:17:29,712
Bud, With your help,
this Republican administration...
1016
01:17:29,712 --> 01:17:33,011
will say, I do.
To gay marriage.
1017
01:17:34,016 --> 01:17:34,880
I do.
1018
01:17:37,787 --> 01:17:38,481
I do.
1019
01:17:39,121 --> 01:17:40,053
I do!
1020
01:17:40,656 --> 01:17:41,748
I do.
1021
01:17:41,891 --> 01:17:42,823
I do!
1022
01:17:44,427 --> 01:17:45,621
I do!
1023
01:17:50,867 --> 01:17:53,199
- I did it!
- That 'a way, baby!
1024
01:17:54,804 --> 01:17:58,103
When we were kids, this was the only
thing to do on the weekends.
1025
01:18:00,042 --> 01:18:00,940
Still is.
1026
01:18:12,855 --> 01:18:14,049
Well done, Bud.
1027
01:18:14,957 --> 01:18:15,514
See?
1028
01:18:16,392 --> 01:18:17,950
Let's get to some real issues.
1029
01:18:19,729 --> 01:18:20,354
Okay.
1030
01:18:20,963 --> 01:18:24,626
Pro-life or pro-choice?
Where do you stand?
1031
01:18:26,736 --> 01:18:27,964
Well...
1032
01:18:30,039 --> 01:18:33,839
Life's pretty good.
Right about now.
1033
01:18:34,243 --> 01:18:35,540
So, you're pro-life then?
1034
01:18:39,081 --> 01:18:39,877
Who isn't?
1035
01:18:42,685 --> 01:18:43,208
Artie.
1036
01:18:46,355 --> 01:18:47,879
- Artie.
- What?
1037
01:18:48,724 --> 01:18:53,095
I don't feel comfortable with this.
We're headed in the wrong direction.
1038
01:18:53,095 --> 01:18:54,426
No, it's gonna be great.
1039
01:18:54,630 --> 01:18:56,427
- Artie.
- And action! Action!
1040
01:18:56,599 --> 01:18:57,964
And action, Donald!
1041
01:19:02,838 --> 01:19:04,032
What is our future?
1042
01:19:04,507 --> 01:19:06,600
I'll tell you what our future is.
1043
01:19:07,143 --> 01:19:10,379
Children like these,
like your daughter, Bud.
1044
01:19:10,379 --> 01:19:13,473
Happy, free, full of promise.
1045
01:19:14,550 --> 01:19:18,816
But imagine a world
without all this joyous laughter.
1046
01:19:19,588 --> 01:19:21,249
I'm talking about abortion.
1047
01:19:21,824 --> 01:19:24,860
President Boone,
he claims he's pro-life.
1048
01:19:24,860 --> 01:19:26,362
But yet under his leadership...
1049
01:19:26,362 --> 01:19:30,560
no significant challenge has been
leveled against Roe versus Wade.
1050
01:19:30,700 --> 01:19:33,569
With your help, Bud,
the Greenleaf administration...
1051
01:19:33,569 --> 01:19:38,472
will lead a genuine effort to reverse
this inhumane court decision.
1052
01:19:38,708 --> 01:19:43,304
So, join me and the Democrats
as we preserve all life...
1053
01:19:44,413 --> 01:19:47,940
That's for filling
God's intelligent design.
1054
01:19:48,417 --> 01:19:51,318
I'm Donald Greenleaf
and I approve this message.
1055
01:19:51,587 --> 01:19:53,350
That don't seem right.
1056
01:19:54,256 --> 01:19:57,054
He's only saying that because
you said you didn't like abortion.
1057
01:19:57,226 --> 01:19:59,091
Yeah, but I didn't say that.
1058
01:19:59,328 --> 01:20:01,228
You told that you were pro-life.
1059
01:20:02,798 --> 01:20:03,423
So what?
1060
01:20:03,499 --> 01:20:07,492
Pro-life means anti-abortion.
Roe versus Wade? Hello!
1061
01:20:08,204 --> 01:20:09,364
This isn't working.
1062
01:20:09,872 --> 01:20:12,670
I thought would help,
but it's just worse.
1063
01:20:12,742 --> 01:20:14,676
You're the one
that wanted me to talk to her.
1064
01:20:14,744 --> 01:20:17,872
I thought you might like her.
She's smart, and nice...
1065
01:20:18,014 --> 01:20:20,107
not like the other women
you spend time with.
1066
01:20:23,786 --> 01:20:25,481
Which women would those be, Molly?
1067
01:20:25,955 --> 01:20:27,650
The ones that dance, Bud.
1068
01:20:29,425 --> 01:20:31,256
Well, at least they got jobs.
1069
01:20:33,829 --> 01:20:35,729
It's all getting
turned upside down now.
1070
01:20:36,265 --> 01:20:38,893
What's all getting
turned upside down?
1071
01:20:39,969 --> 01:20:41,698
You're ruining America!
1072
01:20:42,438 --> 01:20:45,032
- I'm what?
- You're ruining EUA!
1073
01:20:45,107 --> 01:20:47,143
- I'm ruining EUA?
- Yes!
1074
01:20:47,143 --> 01:20:47,666
What?
1075
01:20:49,111 --> 01:20:52,915
What I finally am
is having a little good luck...
1076
01:20:52,915 --> 01:20:54,678
and you're giving me
shit about it!
1077
01:20:58,654 --> 01:21:00,747
You know what all this means
for someone like me?
1078
01:21:02,158 --> 01:21:04,827
I had dreams once.
Maybe it weren't this...
1079
01:21:04,827 --> 01:21:07,887
but I was in the fifth grade,
so I had them.
1080
01:21:09,265 --> 01:21:09,959
And now...
1081
01:21:12,268 --> 01:21:15,601
I pretty much been headed on a road
for being a nobody and now that...
1082
01:21:15,671 --> 01:21:19,903
I am a somebody, you can't stand
that I'm getting a little attention.
1083
01:21:21,410 --> 01:21:23,207
- A little?
- Yeah, a little.
1084
01:21:24,480 --> 01:21:26,107
Maybe I'll tell the truth, Bud.
1085
01:21:26,949 --> 01:21:28,109
- The truth?
- Yes.
1086
01:21:29,885 --> 01:21:31,409
The truth about what?
1087
01:21:32,054 --> 01:21:35,820
Maybe I'll tell everybody it was me
who tried to vote while you got drunk!
1088
01:21:36,192 --> 01:21:38,456
I don't care if they
take me away from you.
1089
01:21:38,527 --> 01:21:40,119
Molly... Hey, Molly!
1090
01:21:42,398 --> 01:21:43,558
Leave me alone.
1091
01:21:50,005 --> 01:21:51,905
- Fine.
- Fine.
1092
01:21:54,443 --> 01:21:55,068
Fine.
1093
01:22:47,496 --> 01:22:48,394
Could you sign it?
1094
01:22:50,432 --> 01:22:51,592
Sure thing, Curly.
1095
01:22:54,703 --> 01:22:59,163
Hey, Bud... did you give
the President's butt a kiss from us?
1096
01:23:04,346 --> 01:23:05,574
You got something to say,
Walt?
1097
01:23:08,050 --> 01:23:11,884
It's not just me, Bud. No one
likes what you done to this town.
1098
01:23:12,288 --> 01:23:14,188
What's gonna happen
after you vote?
1099
01:23:14,523 --> 01:23:18,425
Everyone's gonna pack up and leave us
in the same shape as they found us.
1100
01:23:18,594 --> 01:23:20,892
Bud, you're on TVagain!
1101
01:23:23,599 --> 01:23:26,702
Hey, Bud, you're on TV again.
1102
01:23:26,702 --> 01:23:28,829
People have to stop saying
Bud Johnson is good for democracy.
1103
01:23:29,205 --> 01:23:32,197
He's made us the laughing
stock of the entire world.
1104
01:23:32,341 --> 01:23:36,011
The news media follows him around
like a bunch of paparazzi, because...
1105
01:23:36,011 --> 01:23:38,343
we're more concerned
with his fifteen minutes of fame...
1106
01:23:38,514 --> 01:23:40,778
than we are with the choice
he's about to make.
1107
01:23:41,383 --> 01:23:43,374
Is anybody really
listening to this guy?
1108
01:23:44,253 --> 01:23:48,189
Wake up, America!
Bud Johnson, is a dumbass!
1109
01:24:06,475 --> 01:24:08,670
Your wife has just arrived,
Mr. Greenleaf.
1110
01:24:08,744 --> 01:24:10,473
Thank God! Good.
1111
01:24:11,480 --> 01:24:13,141
Please, don't upset him.
1112
01:24:13,682 --> 01:24:16,412
When did you get in?
I missed you so much!
1113
01:24:18,654 --> 01:24:20,952
You are letting this two
bit hack destroy you.
1114
01:24:21,624 --> 01:24:24,927
You are everything that
the Republicans accused you of being.
1115
01:24:24,927 --> 01:24:27,896
A spineless amateur.
Afraid to take a position.
1116
01:24:27,963 --> 01:24:30,022
I am not afraid
to take a position.
1117
01:24:31,467 --> 01:24:33,697
Okay, sometimes
I have second thoughts.
1118
01:24:33,969 --> 01:24:35,960
But what thinking person doesn't?
1119
01:24:36,071 --> 01:24:39,939
You used to stand for something.
Both of you.
1120
01:24:40,676 --> 01:24:41,472
Let her go.
1121
01:24:42,344 --> 01:24:44,039
What's happened to you, Art?
1122
01:24:44,546 --> 01:24:45,843
I'm gonna win this time.
1123
01:24:46,148 --> 01:24:48,717
You used to run campaigns
that meant something.
1124
01:24:48,717 --> 01:24:53,780
They would have meant something
if the candidates I backed had won!
1125
01:24:55,057 --> 01:24:59,391
You know what's like to be on the right
side of every issue on the theory stage?
1126
01:24:59,795 --> 01:25:02,059
The hope that rocks
with every loss?
1127
01:25:03,432 --> 01:25:06,299
Not this time. Never again.
1128
01:25:19,381 --> 01:25:21,144
Back to work! Everybody!
1129
01:25:27,022 --> 01:25:28,819
Look at that!
1130
01:25:29,258 --> 01:25:32,125
You burnt the hot dog,
just a little bit.
1131
01:25:32,628 --> 01:25:33,890
Just the way I like them!
1132
01:25:36,432 --> 01:25:37,865
- Bud?
- Yes?
1133
01:25:39,201 --> 01:25:43,137
I think we should ask
for a Presidential debate.
1134
01:25:45,407 --> 01:25:49,178
Come on! Can't we just talk
about something else for one night?
1135
01:25:49,178 --> 01:25:51,203
Just for a minute? Maybe?
1136
01:25:53,282 --> 01:25:55,876
What did you just say to me?
1137
01:25:57,052 --> 01:26:00,510
A Presidential debate.
Where you get to ask questions.
1138
01:26:00,689 --> 01:26:03,055
Please. Just stop.
1139
01:26:03,192 --> 01:26:05,558
It's important!
It could help you decide.
1140
01:26:05,627 --> 01:26:07,185
Help me decide.
1141
01:26:08,097 --> 01:26:09,565
Think about
what you're saying to me.
1142
01:26:09,565 --> 01:26:12,796
I have! You should read
all this mail you've been getting.
1143
01:26:13,268 --> 01:26:15,168
People are writing
to you for help.
1144
01:26:15,637 --> 01:26:17,730
People are writing me letters.
So what?
1145
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,401
I can't help these people.
1146
01:26:22,344 --> 01:26:23,572
You can speak for them.
1147
01:26:27,950 --> 01:26:28,939
Will you do it for me?
1148
01:26:35,157 --> 01:26:37,955
I'm doing this all
because of you!
1149
01:26:42,965 --> 01:26:46,526
Confirmed, one Presidential debate
will occur this Wednesday night...
1150
01:26:47,002 --> 01:26:50,130
at which Mr. Johnson will ask both
candidates a set of questions.
1151
01:26:50,773 --> 01:26:53,105
The following day,
he'll cast his vote.
1152
01:26:57,479 --> 01:26:59,470
Bud,
what will you ask at the debate?
1153
01:27:00,549 --> 01:27:03,985
Truth is, I don't know yet,
but I'm...
1154
01:27:05,521 --> 01:27:06,715
I'll figure it out.
1155
01:27:12,961 --> 01:27:15,657
I hate debates.
Where they try-to trick you.
1156
01:27:16,031 --> 01:27:17,999
I know, but you'll be fine.
1157
01:27:18,834 --> 01:27:20,859
We have two days
to sew this thing up.
1158
01:27:21,737 --> 01:27:23,466
I'm gonna need you
to meet with Bud again.
1159
01:27:24,907 --> 01:27:27,808
And, offer him a little incentive.
1160
01:27:29,545 --> 01:27:31,604
You want I give him
a bag of cash?
1161
01:27:31,747 --> 01:27:33,612
No, he's got too much
attention on him for that.
1162
01:27:34,149 --> 01:27:36,640
I was thinking
that maybe you'd offer him a job.
1163
01:27:37,186 --> 01:27:40,212
Something with benefits.
If you know what I mean.
1164
01:27:41,023 --> 01:27:42,718
Marty,
I've been meaning to talk to you.
1165
01:27:44,860 --> 01:27:47,454
I'm not sure about our strategy
on this whole Bud thing.
1166
01:27:47,896 --> 01:27:51,093
You've never questioned me before.
On anything.
1167
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:52,323
Ever.
1168
01:27:52,901 --> 01:27:56,860
I know and I'm not saying
I won't do it. I just...
1169
01:27:58,507 --> 01:27:59,974
I can't shake this feeling...
1170
01:28:01,643 --> 01:28:04,510
The way we've been switching positions,
and now offering Bud...
1171
01:28:06,482 --> 01:28:08,450
We're just doing
what we always do.
1172
01:28:10,586 --> 01:28:11,177
That's all.
1173
01:28:11,954 --> 01:28:15,185
Dancing the dance,
Courting the voters.
1174
01:28:16,725 --> 01:28:19,626
Except this time,
it's only one voter.
1175
01:28:21,463 --> 01:28:22,361
It's one guy.
1176
01:28:23,532 --> 01:28:25,363
This is history,
Mr. President.
1177
01:28:26,702 --> 01:28:28,294
It's never happened before.
1178
01:28:28,837 --> 01:28:32,967
This is a moment the whole
world will remember. Forever.
1179
01:28:35,477 --> 01:28:36,466
I understand.
1180
01:28:43,318 --> 01:28:44,751
What are we about?
1181
01:28:45,654 --> 01:28:46,211
Winning.
1182
01:28:47,990 --> 01:28:51,426
Because if we don't win,
you can't do what you set out to do.
1183
01:28:52,394 --> 01:28:54,328
And what you've done,
won't matter.
1184
01:28:55,063 --> 01:28:58,123
If we don't win,
it's all over.
1185
01:28:59,301 --> 01:29:00,359
And you're over.
1186
01:29:01,904 --> 01:29:02,529
Bud!
1187
01:29:05,974 --> 01:29:06,736
Bud!
1188
01:29:10,779 --> 01:29:11,803
What time is it?
1189
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:14,974
Late. It's late.
You promised to take me in today.
1190
01:29:15,050 --> 01:29:18,816
Okay!
Just give me a few minutes.
1191
01:29:20,155 --> 01:29:22,680
What's today?
1192
01:29:24,726 --> 01:29:25,658
Forget it.
1193
01:29:28,964 --> 01:29:30,761
Can you take me, please?
1194
01:29:33,335 --> 01:29:35,303
Yeah Ye. Let's go.
1195
01:29:40,576 --> 01:29:41,600
Oh, God!
1196
01:29:43,946 --> 01:29:46,471
Hey, wait a minute, Molly.
1197
01:29:54,456 --> 01:29:56,583
Molly! Molly!
1198
01:29:56,658 --> 01:29:59,593
Mr. Johnson... Mr. Johnson!
1199
01:30:00,662 --> 01:30:02,289
The President
would like a word with you.
1200
01:30:02,931 --> 01:30:04,626
- The President?
- Yes, sir.
1201
01:30:07,469 --> 01:30:08,766
Hey, get a life!
1202
01:30:10,973 --> 01:30:14,101
I used to work at Gilmore
before I got laid off.
1203
01:30:14,843 --> 01:30:17,334
Now, I find work wherever I can.
1204
01:30:18,580 --> 01:30:20,878
Mow people's lawns,
fixing stuff.
1205
01:30:22,050 --> 01:30:23,142
Hasn't been easy.
1206
01:30:26,555 --> 01:30:27,146
Molly.
1207
01:30:29,958 --> 01:30:34,292
I'd sure appreciate it if your Dad could
put in a good word for me at the plant.
1208
01:30:35,664 --> 01:30:38,724
Thank you,
Michael and Mr. Everett for that...
1209
01:30:40,035 --> 01:30:41,024
presentation.
1210
01:30:42,337 --> 01:30:43,634
Who's next?
1211
01:30:44,339 --> 01:30:44,930
Molly.
1212
01:31:01,757 --> 01:31:04,089
I guess you all
probably know my dad.
1213
01:31:06,928 --> 01:31:08,919
He really wanted
to be here today, but...
1214
01:31:10,565 --> 01:31:12,658
he had so many
important things to do.
1215
01:31:14,770 --> 01:31:16,362
He's doing his best, but...
1216
01:31:17,673 --> 01:31:19,504
he can't be everywhere at once.
1217
01:31:22,310 --> 01:31:24,403
Ever since
all this stuff happened...
1218
01:31:27,182 --> 01:31:29,377
he's really been
under a lot of pressure.
1219
01:31:32,854 --> 01:31:34,617
I just want you to know that...
1220
01:31:35,590 --> 01:31:38,457
he takes
his responsibilities seriously...
1221
01:31:40,195 --> 01:31:43,631
and that he really cares
about helping poor people...
1222
01:31:44,266 --> 01:31:45,665
and sick people.
1223
01:31:47,402 --> 01:31:49,893
And people
that can't help themselves.
1224
01:31:55,277 --> 01:31:55,902
My...
1225
01:31:59,981 --> 01:32:03,041
my dad wants to make
this country a better place.
1226
01:32:18,333 --> 01:32:19,994
Do you think much
about your future?
1227
01:32:22,237 --> 01:32:23,295
What future?
1228
01:32:24,873 --> 01:32:25,771
I know what you mean.
1229
01:32:26,475 --> 01:32:28,534
We all worry
about the sun down years.
1230
01:32:29,377 --> 01:32:31,709
Sooner or later,
all this hoopla is gonna die down.
1231
01:32:31,980 --> 01:32:33,415
They're gonna build me a library.
1232
01:32:33,415 --> 01:32:35,110
And you're gonna be
just another face in the crowd.
1233
01:32:37,753 --> 01:32:38,617
Can't wait.
1234
01:32:40,522 --> 01:32:42,217
What you need
to think about is security.
1235
01:32:43,391 --> 01:32:44,551
Now I've got a friend...
1236
01:32:46,495 --> 01:32:50,659
who might have a job for you.
In the lobby business.
1237
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:54,828
Like opening doors for people?
1238
01:32:55,904 --> 01:32:56,802
Very astute!
1239
01:32:57,339 --> 01:33:00,308
Open doors to politicians.
And their checkbooks.
1240
01:33:00,308 --> 01:33:03,539
People really like you, Bud.
They feel like you're one of them.
1241
01:33:05,113 --> 01:33:06,944
I'm not quite following you,
Andy.
1242
01:33:13,355 --> 01:33:15,721
Sometimes you gotta figure
out what you want in this life.
1243
01:33:17,225 --> 01:33:19,420
Then you have to decide
how much it's worth to you.
1244
01:33:20,629 --> 01:33:22,426
Because they're gonna
put it on your tombstone.
1245
01:33:24,399 --> 01:33:25,366
It's your legacy.
1246
01:33:26,968 --> 01:33:28,902
A measure
of what you left behind.
1247
01:33:30,839 --> 01:33:31,601
Are we...
1248
01:33:33,875 --> 01:33:35,638
are we still talking
about the job?
1249
01:33:38,380 --> 01:33:39,779
The lobby business?
1250
01:33:42,617 --> 01:33:45,586
Right. Forget that.
1251
01:33:50,058 --> 01:33:51,184
It's not worth it.
1252
01:34:00,569 --> 01:34:01,433
And thank you.
1253
01:34:36,037 --> 01:34:36,731
Molly!
1254
01:34:38,006 --> 01:34:40,031
You said that
if I ever wanted to talk, right?
1255
01:34:43,511 --> 01:34:44,773
Here's some hot cocoa.
1256
01:34:46,548 --> 01:34:48,539
Sorry.
All I had was skim milk.
1257
01:34:48,783 --> 01:34:49,681
It's okay.
1258
01:34:52,754 --> 01:34:53,721
What's going on?
1259
01:34:55,357 --> 01:34:57,825
- It's all my fault.
- What's your fault?
1260
01:34:58,159 --> 01:35:00,218
Bud was supposed
to meet me after school.
1261
01:35:00,428 --> 01:35:03,329
He knew how important it was to me.
But he got drunk.
1262
01:35:04,099 --> 01:35:07,569
He never even showed up.
I didn't know what else to do!
1263
01:35:07,569 --> 01:35:09,764
Wait, Molly,
what are you saying?
1264
01:35:11,706 --> 01:35:12,297
Molly?
1265
01:35:13,875 --> 01:35:14,967
Aren't you gonna get that?
1266
01:35:16,411 --> 01:35:20,711
Yeah, give me two seconds. Stay here.
I'm gonna get them off the phone.
1267
01:35:30,959 --> 01:35:35,896
Can call you back?
This isn't a good time. Yeah, I know.
1268
01:35:37,232 --> 01:35:38,790
I know.
You already told me that.
1269
01:35:46,841 --> 01:35:48,809
Look, can I call you back?
1270
01:35:49,511 --> 01:35:50,170
Molly?
1271
01:35:51,813 --> 01:35:52,507
Molly!
1272
01:36:08,830 --> 01:36:09,455
Are you okay?
1273
01:36:11,032 --> 01:36:13,023
You think your dad
might be passed out tonight?
1274
01:36:16,938 --> 01:36:18,997
Then,
you're going to recast your vote.
1275
01:36:19,107 --> 01:36:21,735
I guess it ain't
that much of a secret then, is it?
1276
01:36:25,480 --> 01:36:29,348
If we are to be the exception to history,
then we must break the cycle.
1277
01:36:29,951 --> 01:36:31,782
For those
who do not remember the past...
1278
01:36:33,788 --> 01:36:35,722
Remind me again who's running?
1279
01:36:35,924 --> 01:36:38,290
So, what you're saying is,
you're keeping...
1280
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:41,991
It's all my fault. Bud was supposed
to meet me after school.
1281
01:36:42,130 --> 01:36:45,361
He knew how important this
was to me. But he got drunk.
1282
01:36:45,767 --> 01:36:49,100
He didn't even show up.
I didn't know what else to do!
1283
01:36:49,371 --> 01:36:50,672
Molly, what are you saying?
1284
01:36:50,672 --> 01:36:51,661
He didn't vote!
1285
01:36:54,609 --> 01:36:56,211
What do you mean,
she's missing?
1286
01:36:56,211 --> 01:36:57,679
I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson.
It's all my fault.
1287
01:36:57,679 --> 01:36:59,014
For crying out loud, Lewis!
1288
01:36:59,014 --> 01:37:02,973
You guys guard Presidents.
1289
01:37:04,719 --> 01:37:05,651
She's smarter!
1290
01:37:08,289 --> 01:37:09,187
Tell me about it!
1291
01:37:21,102 --> 01:37:22,364
What is all this?
1292
01:37:23,405 --> 01:37:24,895
She's been answering your mail.
1293
01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:26,465
For what?
1294
01:37:29,210 --> 01:37:32,737
She wanted people
to think that you cared.
1295
01:37:34,315 --> 01:37:35,247
She told you that?
1296
01:37:49,464 --> 01:37:52,592
Does have any friends
we should contact?
1297
01:37:52,667 --> 01:37:53,497
I don't know.
1298
01:37:58,740 --> 01:38:01,834
No, she's not the friend type.
1299
01:38:03,044 --> 01:38:03,601
Jed.
1300
01:38:04,813 --> 01:38:07,615
- Jed? Who's Jed?
- It's a boy she likes.
1301
01:38:07,615 --> 01:38:09,810
She likes a boy?
1302
01:38:10,118 --> 01:38:12,109
Jed Barkley.
He's in her class.
1303
01:38:12,287 --> 01:38:14,687
He's a little shy,
but they're friends.
1304
01:38:15,423 --> 01:38:19,382
- Is she told you that?
- Yes, sir.
1305
01:38:25,033 --> 01:38:26,660
Do you have any idea
where she might be going?
1306
01:38:33,208 --> 01:38:36,143
Yeah, I'm can guess
where she's going.
1307
01:38:36,678 --> 01:38:38,475
Just tell us where,
we'll go pick her up, sir.
1308
01:38:41,349 --> 01:38:45,012
She's my daughter.
I'll get her myself.
1309
01:39:11,679 --> 01:39:12,543
This is it.
1310
01:39:14,382 --> 01:39:15,610
Sure you wanna go in?
1311
01:39:17,385 --> 01:39:18,977
Came this far, didn't we?
1312
01:39:20,889 --> 01:39:23,949
I'll wait here awhile.
Just in case you want to go home.
1313
01:39:29,297 --> 01:39:30,764
I never want to go home.
1314
01:40:06,301 --> 01:40:06,790
Yes?
1315
01:40:08,002 --> 01:40:09,629
I'm looking for Larissa Star.
1316
01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:15,876
Well, she's gone.
She's moved out a long time ago.
1317
01:40:22,016 --> 01:40:23,142
I think you're her.
1318
01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:32,722
You Jed?
1319
01:40:34,896 --> 01:40:37,456
- It's okay, is she in there?
- Yes, sir.
1320
01:40:39,667 --> 01:40:40,599
Wait here.
1321
01:40:49,377 --> 01:40:50,537
You're all grown up!
1322
01:40:51,946 --> 01:40:53,140
You look like your dad.
1323
01:40:54,816 --> 01:40:56,374
He says I look like you.
1324
01:40:57,352 --> 01:41:01,152
Does he?
So, why did you come here?
1325
01:41:02,457 --> 01:41:06,325
You wrote me a letter.
You said I could come live with you.
1326
01:41:07,495 --> 01:41:09,929
That was a long time ago,
honey.
1327
01:41:11,733 --> 01:41:13,496
Things have changed.
1328
01:41:14,669 --> 01:41:17,866
I'm close to getting
a record deal.
1329
01:41:18,940 --> 01:41:20,805
I did a gig
a couple of months ago.
1330
01:41:21,109 --> 01:41:26,514
This guy wants to put me in touch
with this big time Nashville producer.
1331
01:41:26,514 --> 01:41:28,141
So he's gonna call me.
I'm not gonna be ready.
1332
01:41:29,050 --> 01:41:33,009
I gotta get ready. There's a lot
I gotta do, so I can't do this.
1333
01:41:34,722 --> 01:41:37,919
I'm not well.
Can't you see that?
1334
01:41:39,894 --> 01:41:41,725
I can take care of you, Mom.
1335
01:41:41,963 --> 01:41:45,057
I don't want anybody to take care
of me. I don't want you here.
1336
01:41:46,234 --> 01:41:47,166
Dad!
1337
01:41:50,838 --> 01:41:52,499
Jesus Christ, Larissa!
1338
01:41:53,308 --> 01:41:55,043
I don't want her
to see me like this.
1339
01:41:55,043 --> 01:41:58,774
Molly, you gotta go outside, okay?
For me. You got out there and wait.
1340
01:41:59,247 --> 01:42:02,045
- Dad!
- Just outside. Now!
1341
01:42:11,192 --> 01:42:14,286
I heard you'd finally
gotten cleaned up.
1342
01:42:14,662 --> 01:42:18,291
Who told you that? My God,
what is going on out there?
1343
01:42:18,366 --> 01:42:19,133
I can't explain.
1344
01:42:19,133 --> 01:42:23,365
What are you, famous now? You think
you can just come? I can't do this!
1345
01:42:23,471 --> 01:42:26,634
- Wait...
- No! No! Come here.
1346
01:42:26,908 --> 01:42:28,209
I'm not mad Larissa.
1347
01:42:28,209 --> 01:42:29,403
I'm trying to tell you...
1348
01:42:29,811 --> 01:42:33,614
I can't be a mom right now.
I can't. Stay back! I can't...
1349
01:42:33,614 --> 01:42:37,607
be a mom right now.
I can't do it. I can't do it.
1350
01:43:50,291 --> 01:43:51,724
Said no reporters, Lewis.
1351
01:43:51,926 --> 01:43:53,294
I just want to talk to you.
1352
01:43:53,294 --> 01:43:54,727
I don't have time, Kate.
1353
01:43:55,229 --> 01:43:59,600
I'm moderating a Presidential debate
tomorrow night in front of a zillion.
1354
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:03,263
So as much as I'd love for you
to make an ass out of me again on TV...
1355
01:44:03,438 --> 01:44:05,030
I kinda have
some preparing to do.
1356
01:44:09,410 --> 01:44:11,844
I have to catch up
on the issues.
1357
01:44:12,914 --> 01:44:14,279
Like all of them!
1358
01:44:14,849 --> 01:44:15,372
Bud.
1359
01:44:19,053 --> 01:44:20,953
I know what happened
election night.
1360
01:44:22,156 --> 01:44:25,319
I'm running the story. I just want
to make sure I've got my facts right.
1361
01:44:25,793 --> 01:44:29,661
The bartender claims you
left the Starline about 7:30.
1362
01:44:30,298 --> 01:44:30,992
Is that correct?
1363
01:44:31,766 --> 01:44:32,528
Yes, madam.
1364
01:44:32,967 --> 01:44:36,164
Giving you plenty of time
to meet at the polling station...
1365
01:44:37,038 --> 01:44:38,096
and cast your vote...
1366
01:44:38,739 --> 01:44:39,296
right?
1367
01:44:42,410 --> 01:44:45,243
I... guess so.
1368
01:44:46,681 --> 01:44:47,739
Just making sure.
1369
01:44:50,618 --> 01:44:53,644
I'm sorry.
I got something for you.
1370
01:44:57,124 --> 01:44:59,092
Kinda forgot who I was
for a moment.
1371
01:44:59,961 --> 01:45:00,950
Forgive me?
1372
01:45:02,129 --> 01:45:02,925
That depends.
1373
01:45:04,665 --> 01:45:07,225
Can you help me,
help him tonight?
1374
01:45:10,471 --> 01:45:11,403
I'd love to.
1375
01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:15,004
I work two jobs
just trying to make ends meet.
1376
01:45:15,610 --> 01:45:17,178
Last year my son
was diagnosed with...
1377
01:45:17,178 --> 01:45:22,582
Law makers renewed the primary programs
for low income HIV and AIDS patients.
1378
01:45:22,917 --> 01:45:25,852
Named for Ryan White,
a young AIDS activist...
1379
01:46:46,434 --> 01:46:47,594
Good evening everyone.
1380
01:46:47,802 --> 01:46:51,135
We come to you live
from a small American town...
1381
01:46:51,639 --> 01:46:54,972
a town most of us had never
heard of just a few weeks ago.
1382
01:46:55,176 --> 01:46:57,311
A town you couldn't find
on the map...
1383
01:46:57,311 --> 01:47:00,769
because Texico, New Mexico,
wasn't on the map.
1384
01:47:01,482 --> 01:47:02,847
But it's on the map now.
1385
01:47:02,917 --> 01:47:06,717
The whole world has descended
on this town for an historic event.
1386
01:47:06,854 --> 01:47:09,755
A political debate
unlike any other.
1387
01:47:09,890 --> 01:47:12,484
Tomorrow morning,
Earnest Bud Johnson...
1388
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:15,222
will walk into a voting booth
and make a choice.
1389
01:47:15,763 --> 01:47:20,894
And his choice will affect
our lives for generations to come.
1390
01:47:21,469 --> 01:47:25,132
The stakes could not be higher.
What do you expect?
1391
01:47:25,206 --> 01:47:29,074
I wonder, Aaron, what the founding
fathers would make of all this.
1392
01:47:29,276 --> 01:47:32,973
Would they be mortified,
or would they be jumping for joy?
1393
01:47:33,114 --> 01:47:36,345
Something tells me
that somewhere right now...
1394
01:47:36,517 --> 01:47:40,977
Franklin and Jefferson
are looking down and smiling.
1395
01:47:41,389 --> 01:47:42,913
Smiling or laughing?
1396
01:47:43,090 --> 01:47:45,092
I don't know if they're smiling.
1397
01:47:45,092 --> 01:47:48,425
That's not exactly who they had in mind
for picking the President of the USA.
1398
01:47:48,596 --> 01:47:53,090
We're sending someone out there who
really is, as far as, we can tell lost.
1399
01:47:53,234 --> 01:47:56,397
Can he find himself suddenly,
tonight on this stage...
1400
01:47:56,537 --> 01:47:58,903
Or is he going to look
like a rodeo clown down there?
1401
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:03,204
Tonight, the whole country is
watching and we watch with you.
1402
01:48:04,211 --> 01:48:05,542
I'm gonna puke.
1403
01:48:05,613 --> 01:48:07,672
Bud, look at me. Look at me.
1404
01:48:08,315 --> 01:48:11,045
Just be yourself.
You're gonna be great.
1405
01:48:14,989 --> 01:48:18,015
Hey, remember dad.
No cussing! Okay?
1406
01:48:18,492 --> 01:48:20,016
- Fine.
- Fine.
1407
01:48:20,995 --> 01:48:22,929
Mr. Johnson,
one minute, please.
1408
01:48:26,233 --> 01:48:27,131
Good luck!
1409
01:48:31,772 --> 01:48:32,932
And so we begin.
1410
01:48:33,374 --> 01:48:36,241
The crowd has settled down
and we go to the stage...
1411
01:48:36,310 --> 01:48:37,777
for what promises to be...
1412
01:48:38,312 --> 01:48:42,510
one of the most unique moments
in American political history.
1413
01:49:25,926 --> 01:49:28,486
Mr. President, Mr. Greenleaf...
1414
01:49:29,663 --> 01:49:33,064
I'd like to thank you for your
hospitality. It's been real interesting.
1415
01:49:33,934 --> 01:49:36,528
I've said a lot of thing
I didn't mean.
1416
01:49:37,338 --> 01:49:38,839
And you both
made a lot of promises...
1417
01:49:38,839 --> 01:49:40,466
you probably
won't be able to keep.
1418
01:49:49,850 --> 01:49:52,876
To be honest, the last 10 days
have felt like a weird dream.
1419
01:49:53,721 --> 01:49:55,882
What was once kinda funny,
isn't anymore.
1420
01:49:57,758 --> 01:49:58,952
From what I've read, I've...
1421
01:50:01,128 --> 01:50:03,528
well, I've scared
the hell out of America.
1422
01:50:04,498 --> 01:50:07,899
I know that the world is watching,
maybe even laughing.
1423
01:50:08,369 --> 01:50:10,462
People on my own TV,
are saying...
1424
01:50:10,738 --> 01:50:13,969
that America, somehow,
deserves this moment.
1425
01:50:15,943 --> 01:50:17,240
Guess that means me.
1426
01:50:20,114 --> 01:50:24,073
I can't say that I've been much
of anything most of my life.
1427
01:50:24,151 --> 01:50:26,881
It's sorta like somewhere
along the way...
1428
01:50:27,888 --> 01:50:31,725
I checked out and it's not like
I had big dreams to begin with.
1429
01:50:31,725 --> 01:50:34,751
But I had something once.
1430
01:50:35,963 --> 01:50:40,835
I had something close
to faith or hope or whatever...
1431
01:50:40,835 --> 01:50:43,269
whatever word you want
to use for how good life could be.
1432
01:50:45,105 --> 01:50:49,577
But then, the years start moving
quicker and all of a sudden...
1433
01:50:49,577 --> 01:50:51,511
what's going good
out there for every else...
1434
01:50:53,214 --> 01:50:54,704
isn't going so good for you.
1435
01:50:56,050 --> 01:50:58,917
But, tonight I feel...
1436
01:51:00,754 --> 01:51:01,652
embarrassed.
1437
01:51:05,092 --> 01:51:07,458
I've had my chances,
more than most.
1438
01:51:08,762 --> 01:51:10,354
I've grown up
in a country where...
1439
01:51:10,698 --> 01:51:14,896
if I decided to do more with my life
than just drift and drink...
1440
01:51:15,402 --> 01:51:16,994
that I could be standing where...
1441
01:51:18,606 --> 01:51:20,267
where maybe you stand tonight.
1442
01:51:21,041 --> 01:51:24,943
Instead, I've taken freely
and I've given nothing.
1443
01:51:26,180 --> 01:51:27,647
I'm ashamed in front of my...
1444
01:51:29,550 --> 01:51:30,175
daughter.
1445
01:51:33,487 --> 01:51:34,545
And my country.
1446
01:51:36,657 --> 01:51:38,859
I've never served or sacrificed.
1447
01:51:38,859 --> 01:51:43,296
The only heavy lifting
I've been asked is simple stuff, like...
1448
01:51:43,631 --> 01:51:46,862
pay attention. Vote...
1449
01:51:49,570 --> 01:51:51,060
For America has a...
1450
01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:55,975
if America has a true enemy tonight,
I guess it's me.
1451
01:51:58,545 --> 01:52:02,538
Tonight a below average man is going
to choose between two exceptional men.
1452
01:52:03,517 --> 01:52:06,008
Tomorrow, one man's vote
is going to make a difference...
1453
01:52:07,388 --> 01:52:09,219
'Cause tomorrow
we're gonna have a President.
1454
01:52:09,523 --> 01:52:12,117
And not just someone
to fill a chair in Washington.
1455
01:52:13,827 --> 01:52:16,352
We need someone
who's bigger than their speeches.
1456
01:52:17,331 --> 01:52:20,994
The kind of President
we learned about in school.
1457
01:52:23,137 --> 01:52:24,798
America needs a big thinker.
1458
01:52:27,174 --> 01:52:29,233
You know, like a giant, really.
1459
01:52:29,576 --> 01:52:32,739
Someone who has the good sense
to get in front of our problems.
1460
01:52:33,213 --> 01:52:36,383
Somebody who has the wisdom
to lead to us a place...
1461
01:52:36,383 --> 01:52:38,749
where we're at peace
with ourselves and the world.
1462
01:52:40,721 --> 01:52:43,986
And just for the record,
I want you both...
1463
01:52:45,225 --> 01:52:48,023
I want you both to know
that I think a hella lot of you.
1464
01:52:58,872 --> 01:53:03,309
Tonight, I am going to speak
for people I have never met...
1465
01:53:06,447 --> 01:53:09,348
whose letters touched me
in a way I didn't think was possible.
1466
01:53:12,586 --> 01:53:14,554
My first question comes from...
1467
01:53:14,855 --> 01:53:16,982
Peter Manthis,
in Henderson, Kentucky.
1468
01:53:17,391 --> 01:53:18,585
"Dear Mr. Johnson...
1469
01:53:18,792 --> 01:53:21,454
my wife and I
have three little girls.
1470
01:53:21,528 --> 01:53:25,089
We both work two jobs
just trying to make ends meet.
1471
01:53:26,734 --> 01:53:29,328
And some weeks,
we don't make it."
1472
01:53:30,037 --> 01:53:32,906
"When you work hard and you still
can't take care of your family...
1473
01:53:32,906 --> 01:53:36,535
you start to question yourself
as a provider, as a man.
1474
01:53:37,678 --> 01:53:40,875
I know I am one. I fought
for my country and I'm proud of it.
1475
01:53:42,583 --> 01:53:46,952
But it scares me to think about what
would happen if one of my kids got sick.
1476
01:53:48,589 --> 01:53:53,026
"Can you ask the candidates,
if we are richest country in the world...
1477
01:53:54,528 --> 01:53:57,520
how come some many of us can
barely afford to live here?"
1478
01:54:00,634 --> 01:54:03,125
I'd like to take that one first,
if I might, Mr. Greenleaf.
1479
01:54:04,204 --> 01:54:05,501
Answer, Mr. President.
1480
01:54:07,741 --> 01:54:11,643
Bud, I'd first like to say, how much
I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
