Bobby Page #3

down at IBM

like to call "chads. "

If I'd have worked

this hard in school,

I'd be on the honor roll.

Hey, you think your brother

will loan us his car again?

Ah, I don't know.

He was cool with it

the first couple times,

but now, I don't know.

I can't do another day

on this awful bus, Coop.

- Me neither.

- I hate it.

Maybe if I was stoned.

Well, yeah, stoned would be good

whether we're on the bus or not.

- Fellas.

- Wade. - Wade.

You guys are on

the Glendale-Pasadena bus today.

Well, no, uh, we were actually

gonna come over here

to tell you,

we got a car today, Wade.

Uh, Coop's brother

comes through again.

Really?

Um, just think of

the number of elderly

we can help get

to the polls with a car.

I think we're much more

valuable on our own.

Yeah.

Well, that's great.

Maybe you can persuade them

to go along with you.

Every little bit counts, right?

Uh, what precincts

are you guys covering?

Actually, Dwayne and I

won't be in the field today.

We're gonna stay here

at campaign headquarters.

That way, we can take care

of any problems that come up.

Yeah, we already

received a call

about stolen voting machines

down in Precinct 180.

I'm not familiar

with that area.

It's a black neighborhood.

Oh, is it?

Yeah, I guess busing

doesn't really agree

with you fellas, huh?

I guess we got more in

common than you think.

Good luck.

Ladies and gentlemen,

if we could get...

Now all we have to do

is actually get a car.

Well, first things first.

First things first.

Mr. Buckley.

Please, Mr. Buckley.

Mr. Buckley, please.

Yes, Miss?

- Janacek.

- Yes, Miss Janacek.

You told me on Sunday

that I would have my interview

with Senator Kennedy,

but no interview.

Then you said Monday.

Monday, no interview.

Five minutes, Mr. Buckley,

that's all I'm asking...

Miss Janacek, I believe

I also told you

that you have to call

his press secretary.

I left 20 messages

for Mr. Mankiewicz.

Well, perhaps you'd like to

join the volunteers today,

hop on one of the buses.

The only thing I want

is five minutes

with Senator Kennedy.

Does he have any idea

what's happening

in Czechoslovakia right now?

The censorship law

has been repealed.

The people are energized.

Bobby Kennedy is an inspiration

to the Czech people.

Miss Janacek, you are

a Communist writer

for a Communist paper

in a country

that is an ally

of the Soviet Union.

I mean... do you have any idea

how that would look

for the senator?

"Be informed. "

"Informados importante. "

"Informados...

importante. "

"Importante. "

It's almost like

you just add an "E"

to the end of every

English word. Huh.

Almost.

All right,

let's keep going here.

"Employees must be informed

of their right to vote. "

"Los empleados deben estar

informados

de derecho de votar. "

I might need some help

spelling that.

L- O-S...

Love or money?

Pardon me?

The reason you're

getting married.

Love or money?

I'm saving a life,

marrying a boy from my school.

There's a lot of that

going on these days.

The government sends a check

to the spouse for $135 a month.

Mm.

It's definitely not for money.

Well, I married for love.

He was

the most handsome man

I had ever seen.

He looked like a movie star.

He could have had any woman

he wanted, and he picked me.

You picked him, too.

Yeah.

Suppose I did.

What color is your dress?

Lavender.

Maybe a bit lighter.

We have polish to match

that, if you like.

Sure.

Yeah?

Big wedding?

No.

No, my father refuses to go.

He calls the shots.

My father's a veteran.

Uh, he thinks William, my groom,

should take whatever tour

they give him.

You see, if he's married,

he goes to Germany.

If not, then, um,

he's more likely to go

straight to the front lines.

My father thinks he's a coward.

What do you think?

You know, more and more

young men keep coming back

in body bags.

Two last week

from my graduating class.

And if I could've married them

and kept them from getting

killed, then I would've.

So, until someone

in charge tells me

why it is that we're over there,

then...

I don't know.

You are gonna be the prettiest

June bride in this hotel

today, dear.

English and Spanish.

Great.

I've given six years

of my life to this place.

It means everything to me.

I'll give you

a fine recommendation.

You're not gonna have any

problems finding another job.

I don't want

another goddamn job, Paul.

Hello.

I don't know if I have

that portfolio with me.

You know, we're three hours

behind you.

Say again.

No, I'm saying

we're three hours in time

behind New York.

I can't say for sure.

Oh, damn.

What is it?

It's nothing.

- What is?

- It's stupid.

No, no, I'm listening.

You know those black shoes?

What?

I told you it was stupid.

Let me call you back.

I bought this dress to go with

the black shoes

I forgot to pack.

I did pack six other pair,

none of them black.

And I have two pair

of tennis shoes,

so if you're up

for a little game later...

You see, women have to pack

for every occasion,

making it virtually impossible

to travel light.

Like tonight,

it's a formal event,

so I brought formalwear.

But... God has a sense of humor.

So I... I bring backup.

However, I'm doubly screwed.

Two dresses, both black,

and no black shoes.

I know you're probably thinking,

"Who the hell cares what

color shoes she's wearing?"

Believe me, Jack, women notice.

So, basically, you're saying

you need to go shopping.

For shoes.

Black shoes.

At least I don't have to get up

three times a night

to go have a pee.

Well, at least I get

out of bed to have one.

Checkmate.

See, when you make a move

out of frustration or anger,

it always ends in catastrophe.

Ah, to beat you

just once, Casey.

I'd like to die knowing

that I've beaten you just once.

It's all I pray for, Lord.

Keep praying.

Hey, Paul.

Gentlemen.

Would you like to replace

an elderly gentleman

while he goes off to

take his afternoon nap?

Nelson, if I may...

you could have held

your rook in reserve,

given up one of your pawns

and turned this game

back around in your favor.

Now you tell me.

Hey, Mr. Fallon.

Hey, puppy, come here.

Beautiful girl.

Come here.

She's a beautiful

little thing. Oh, yeah.

How's your wife?

She's perfect.

- We're a sold-out show tonight.

- Yeah?

You and Mrs. Fallon getting

everything you need

from my staff?

We are, Paul, thank you.

Jefferson once said

about the United States

that we were the last best hope

for mankind.

That's what I want

the United States to be.

This is a generous

and compassionate country.

That's what I want

this country to stand for.

Not violence, not lawlessness,

not disorder,

but compassion and love

and peace.

That's what this country

should stand for.

And that's what I intend to do,

if I'm elected president.

"And that's what I intend to do

if I'm elected president. "

of your precious love... d
