can dig it, can't you?

Yeah.

Hmm.

Edward.

Is that your famous cobbler

I'm smelling down in my office?

Yes, sir, Mr. Timmons.

I just pulled a fresh batch

out of the oven.

I'll make sure some gets

to your office

directly, sir.

"I'll get some sent

to your office directly, sir. "

Step-and-fetch-it motherf***er.

Hey.

I'm not working a double shift

today, though, am I... amigo?

You figure out what to do

with those Dodger tickets?

I know a few guys

might like to buy them.

I'm not selling them, Miguel.

How many times I got

to tell you that?

Hey, what's the face value?

I don't know...

$4.50 apiece.

$4.50? I can get you

ten bucks easy.

I'm not selling them.

I want this whole place

filled with balloons.

I want people having to fight

their way through the balloons

just to get in here.

Balloons don't translate

into more votes, Wade.

But they look better on TV.

McCarthy's not going

to want to give

a concession speech after

the big win in Oregon.

They're gonna turn

those cameras on

before the polls close,

so we got to look

like we got the

thing already won.

It sends a stronger message.

Why are we still standing here?

Let's go!

Dwayne, we need you

upstairs right away.

D Come on, boy, see about me d

Socialist.

What's that?

You said I write

for a Communist paper

in a Communist country.

It's a Socialist paper

in a Socialist country.

Red is red, Miss Janacek.

The reforms in my country

are working to put a human face

on Socialism.

See the room we're

standing in right now?

In a few hours,

it's going to be filled

with hundreds of people

who are here

either to celebrate a victory

or lament a defeat

because of something

that we have in America

called the democratic process.

Now, if you can tell me

the last time that happened

in your country, I'll give

you your five minutes

with the senator.

D I'm gonna keep sighing,

baby, for you d

Damn right I'm threatening you!

We're not just talking

about a few stolen

voting machines this time!

Do we understand each other?!

Damn it.

What is it?

There's a police checkpoint

outside of a polling

place in Watts.

The system's not working

for us... again.

I was watching

the local news yesterday...

...and what-what I saw happen

on that motorcade

just gave me hope.

I mean, it's Negroes

and Mexicans

by the tens of thousands just

leaping in front of his car,

tearing at his clothes,

ripping at his shoes.

They loved him.

Now that Dr. King is gone...

no one left but Bobby.

No one.

And how did it seem to you

when the senator came

through Prestonsburg?

Oh, it, uh, it's one

of the greatest days

we've ever had in this town...

especially the young people.

They're all crazy about him.

Do you feel any

differently after seeing him?

I feel a little prouder

being an American.

Did you get to see the senator?

Yes, sir, I did.

How did you feel about it?

Whew. I was very pleased.

I'd just loved to have got

to laid my hand on him.

Senator,

you've just about completed

the second day now.

Is there anything significant

that you've learned

on this trip?

Well, people, uh,

are still having

a very, very difficult time.

There is hunger,

considerable hunger

in this part of the country.

There's no real hope

for the future

amongst many of these people

who, uh, worked hard

in the coal mines, and now

that the coal mines shut down,

uh, they have no place to go.

There's no hope for the future.

There's no industry moving in.

The men are trained

in government programs

and there's no jobs at the end

of the training program

because of the cutback,

because of the demands

on our federal budget

in Washington and the war

in Vietnam there...

even these training programs

are being cut back,

and so people are being cut off

and they have no place to turn,

and so they're, uh,

desperate and...

and filled with despair.

It seems to me that, uh,

this country,

as wealthy as we are, that

this is an intolerable condition

that reflects on all of us.

We can do things

all over the rest of the world,

but I think we should do

something for our people here

in our own country.

It's over.

You okay?

You want to talk about it?

Not really.

Sometimes it helps.

Not right now, not this time.

Good afternoon.

Ambassador Hotel.

How may I direct your call?

Connecting to his room, sir.

Have a nice day.

Good afternoon.

Ambassador Hotel.

How may I direct your call?

Please hold.

Come on, girl.

Come on.

It's our summer clearance sale.

Everything must go!

Everything!

That sh*t, this sh*t for...

this sh*t, for sure.

Hey, man, it's okay.

I want you to look at me.

I am.

Through my eyes.

No.

This is painful.

Shut up.

You shut up.

No, you shut up.

See, it comes and it goes.

I can't see.

Okay.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

I realized I hadn't prayed

in a long time.

Thought it might be

a good idea, you know?

Well, what are we praying for?

I suppose, whatever you like:

World peace, sick grandparent,

better job.

Do you really believe that

our prayers get answered?

Some do.

I prayed for my brother to come

back from Vietnam in one piece,

and he did.

I guess when a prayer

is answered,

it's called a miracle.

Well, in that case,

I'm going to pray

that my mother and father

show up tonight.

Now, that would be a miracle.

Mm-hmm.

I remember you saying something

something about

a friendly game, John.

Yeah, well, I think that, uh,

chess is a little bit like life.

It scares people,

intimidates them,

and that's why

they invented checkers.

Hm.

You're still in check.

Story of my life.

What exactly is that story, sir?

Well, it's not what you read

in the gossip mags,

that's for sure.

Mm. Well,

I'm glad of that, then.

I mean, we have our moments,

like any married couple,

but, you know...

Mm-hmm.

But you stay, huh?

Real men stay.

They-they fight the good fight.

They don't leave.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Your wife?

Oh, she's gone.

She died last year.

Any regrets?

Well, I suppose I could've

spent more time with my kids.

I've got three of them
