In ten years,

these Americans will inherit

the problems

we don't solve today.

It's suggested that, in

the next several decades,

that people are gonna start

having to wear gas masks

in New York City because, uh,

the air's becoming so polluted.

you breathe every year.

And the same thing is true,

to a lesser degree, in cities

all across the United States.

That will spread

to the rural areas, as well,

unless we stop it.

There are things

we can do about automobiles;

there are laws that we can pass

about, uh, dumping

and, uh, throwing refuse

in lakes and streams,

and into the air.

Industry must do something,

and then individual citizens.

And then the demand,

the interest that all of you

might take in it.

And I think that's

what's going to make

the difference in this country.

Mm. I look fat.

You're not fat, I'm fat.

Well, I feel fat.

Maybe it's your swimsuit.

So you do think I look fat.

I didn't say that.

You're being

passive-aggressive.

Please don't do that.

- Don't do what?

- I mean it.

All that headshrinker gibberish.

I never thought you needed to be

fixed in the first place.

It was your idea for me to go.

Because you were sad.

It's called depression, Sam.

Would you keep

your voice down, please.

It's called depression.

I don't understand what you

have to be depressed about.

What do you talk about

in there, anyway?

Well, most of the

time, my depression.

Is it me?

Samantha, sweetheart, no.

It's me.

How's your personal relationship

with God comin' along?

It's beautiful.

You?

Me and the Big G

are solid, my brother.

We have to get more

of this stuff.

I know.

Planet of the Apes.

Planet of the Apes

on acid would be cool.

Look...

I'm having trouble with...

I'm not sure about this.

About what we're doing.

William.

No, I-I can't help feeling

that I'm taking

something away from you.

Something sacred.

I mean, you should only get

married once, like our parents.

It's not frivolous.

It's not disposable.

Look, I'm okay with this.

I'm okay with it

in my heart and in my head.

And you're not taking

anything away from me.

This is my choice, William.

Christ, Diane,

I- I created a rift

between you and your father.

My father has a problem

with you, not with me.

Well, that makes me feel better.

He's a stubborn man.

Well, look on the bright side...

be getting 135 bucks a month

until the annulment.

What if I

don't want an annulment?

What?

D Tuesday d

d Afternoon d

d I'm just beginning to see d

d Now I'm on my way d

d I doesn't matter to me d

d Chasing the clouds away d

d Something d

Excuse me, miss.

D Calls to me d

We do have 24-hour room service.

D The trees are

drawing me near d

d I've got to find out why d

So where are you from?

Czechoslovakia.

D Those gentle voices

I hear... d

That's near

the Soviet Union, right?

Have you got a map?

This is a kitchen,

not a library.

Man, when was the last time

you had something to eat?

I don't remember.

Slow down.

You're making me nervous.

Czechoslovakia, that's a, um...

Communist country, right?

Socialist.

Socialist, Communist.

I really don't know too

much about that stuff.

Maybe you should pick up

a newspaper sometime,

you wouldn't need a map

to find Czechoslovakia.

Well, wherever it is...

I don't understand why you kill

so many of your own people.

Really?

So, what do you think

you are doing in Vietnam?

So, you want the same

as last night,

or something a little special

for the senator?

Ah, you know, I don't care, as

long as it stays out of my face.

Okay.

I have something in mind.

I suppose you're past

getting nervous for a show.

You know, the only thing

that I get nervous about...

is whether anybody's

gonna show up or not.

You're Virginia Fallon.

Of course they'll show.

Yeah, but, you know,

I'm getting older...

and...

people don't care about you

as much when you get older.

Look at you.

You look terrific.

Yeah.

But you know how they call women

"tootsie" or...

"cupcake"?

Anyone ever call you "Twinkie"?

No.

That's right.

And I guarantee you

no one will ever

call you Twinkie.

You know why?

Because we don't have

the same shelf life

as a Twinkie.

We're like melting...

ice cream cones.

You know what?

I was wondering, like, exactly,

I was thinking,

"When did I grow

that flat spot on my ass?"

Very nice, fellas.

Hey, you want to sit in,

Mr. Fallon?

No, no, no.

I don't play anymore.

Come on, once a drummer...

Come play some music with us.

- Come on up, Tim.

- Come on, man. Go with it, man.

- Come on. Let's hear it.

- Get up here.

What do the guys got up?

I think we have, uh,

"Don't Jive Me Now. "

I know that one.

All right!

A- one, two, three, four.

D d

So you can listen

to the game tonight.

Oh-ho...

Miguel.

Eh, just don't let Timmons

catch you with it, all right?

Thank you.

Thank you, man.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey.

You know, I never could sing.

- Couldn't carry a tune.

- Ah...

Not even a Christmas carol.

That's fantastic.

My husband was always

trying to get me to sing.

Make a little joke.

Mm-hmm.

At my expense, I suppose.

You know, we're all whores.

All of us.

Just some of us get paid.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

No, that wasn't very nice.

That's fine.

Yeah.

I'm a drunk.

I'm an awful drunk.

I really am.

And I'm an awful person

sometimes.

And you seem like a really...

You seem like

a really nice lady.

You know, you've been

really nice to me, too.

You have, you've been

really nice with me.

And I'm sorry.

You don't deserve that.

Hey.

I try to do better.

I do.

I try to do better, and...

somehow I just don't do better.

Tonight's a big night.

I'm introducing the senator.

Tim's very excited about that.

That I'm introducing

the senator.

D Magic d

- d Moments... d

- I can't decide.

Those shoes are beautiful,

sir, and they fit her well.

Fine. I'll take those.

Do you want to put 'em on first,

walk around a little bit?

You don't need to

know how they feel?

It's not about how they feel,

Jack, it's about how they look.

And they look fabulous.

Okay.

I'll ring 'em up, sir.

D Feel I'm going back d

d To Massachusetts d

What have we done?

What do you mean?

What if Dwayne

is right and Kennedy loses?

We can all forget it, man.

I'm 19, Jimmy.

I don't want to go to Vietnam.

Do you?

No.

I mean, 'cause we f***ed off

today, Jim.

You know, we f***ed off.

We should've done

what we were supposed to do.

Coop, it's okay.

It's just two guys

knocking on doors.

No, it isn't.

McCarthy in New Hampshire

came within 230 votes

of Johnson.

We could've knocked

on 230 doors today.

I've knocked on well over

a hundred by myself!

Okay. You know what,

if it makes you feel better,

we can go out, and the polls

will be open for...

It's too late now.

It's too goddamn late.

Yes, it is. Yes, it is.

We can't do anything

anymore. It's too late!

I feel like we should personally

apologize to the man.
