Bobby Page #9

there will be a private press

conference in the Colonial Room.

I will see to it that you

have the proper credentials.

You have your five

minutes, Miss Janacek.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Buckley!

Thank you so much!

Please slow down.

I can barely walk

in these silly shoes.

But they look fabulous.

I don't know your birthday.

August 3.

I don't know a lot

about you, Diane.

Your favorite food,

your favorite color.

I don't know

your favorite book or movie.

I don't even know

if your belly button

is an innie or an outie.

An innie.

But I'm surprised

you didn't know that.

- Whew!

- Apurate! Apurate!

- Man!

- Chingale, man, you think

they could use the same

glasses more than once?

It is packed in there.

There's got to be over

a thousand people.

Rapido, rapido!

Gentlemen.

How was it out there?

It was fantastic.

Yeah, we dropped acid

and went to the movies.

Planet of the Apes

on acid?

You got to try it, it's...

Tidings of great joy.

Test one, two. Test one, two.

Ladies and gentlemen, could

I have your attention, please?

Please, ladies and gentlemen,

could I have your attention?

We have an announcement

that we would like to make.

With 16/ of precincts

now reporting...

Why don't you go ahead

and read this?

Future Secretary

of Transportation,

Dwayne Clark,

ladies and gentlemen.

With over 16/ of the precincts

now reporting...

I recognize his voice.

He's cute.

Hey... my love life is the one

that needs some attention.

...of the United States,

Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

You look wonderful.

Thank you.

Let's see 'em.

- Good girl.

- Thanks.

This must be the...

the lucky man.

Miriam, meet my husband,

William.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me...

Excuse me.

Aren't you a little young to be

Secretary of Transportation?

I'm gonna strangle him.

I recognize your voice.

Really.

Do you work for the FBI?

You're the young brother

from 506 that's always

yelling and always angry.

I'd recognize it anywhere.

So you do work for the FBI.

I'm a switchboard operator

for the hotel.

Patricia.

What's your name,

angry young brother?

Dwayne.

I'm not always angry.

I need another box.

Jose, come on with the box.

I'm-I'm coming.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

I'm coming.

How in the hell

are we supposed to work

with all these people here?

I don't know,

but I ain't never seen

so many white people

in the kitchen before.

- Hey, Susan.

- Hey.

How are my little drug addicts?

I don't think I have ever

seen you out of your uniform.

But we've both fantasized

about it before.

He's still high.

- He's still high.

- No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

You're the one

who's still high.

I'm a stockbroker.

I'm an artist.

As well as a patron

of the arts.

She bought a painting

of a can of soup last month.

A can of soup.

Mm-hmm. I think it

was Campbell's tomato.

- Yes.

- No, onion.

Tomato.

She says tomato, I say onion.

It's an original Warhol.

Do you know he was

shot yesterday?

And probably by someone

who sobered up and realized

they paid a fortune for

a picture of a can of soup.

You're terrible.

May I ask you

a personal question?

How personal you want to get?

I'm not asking to embarrass you

or anything, but...

...how much do you make a week?

These folks ain't interested

in eating.

Besides, they gonna

throw it away anyway.

Yeah.

I'm not proud, Dwayne.

I'm just another sister

trying to survive in the world.

No, you're much more than that.

This one looks pretty good.

The board behind me shows

the story from

the California primary tonight.

There's still just

a scattering of votes in,

but our vote-profile

analysis of, uh,

key precincts through the state,

representative "key-cincts"...

precincts... indicate

that Senator Kennedy

is going to come out

with a wide lead,

probably 52 to 38 percent

over Senator McCarthy.

CROWD:

RFK! RFK!

RFK! RFK! RFK! RFK!

MAN:

Ladies and gentlemen...

RFK! RFK!

MAN:

Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

CROWD:

RFK! RFK! RFK! RFK! RFK!

We want Kennedy!

We want Kennedy!

We want Kennedy!

We want Kennedy!

We want Kennedy!

We want Kennedy!

We want Kennedy!

I want to, uh, first, uh,

express my, uh, high regard

to, uh, Don Drysdale...

...who pitched his, uh,

sixth straight shutout tonight.

And I hope that we have his

good fortune in our campaign.

D Hello darkness,

my old friend d

d I've come to talk

with you again d

d Because a vision

softly creeping d

d Left its seeds

while I was sleeping d

d And the vision

that was planted in my brain d

d Still remains d

d Within the sound of silence d

d In restless dreams

I walked alone d

d Narrow streets

of cobblestone d

d 'Neath the halo

of a street lamp d

d I turned my collar

to the cold and damp d

d When my eyes were stabbed

by the flash of a neon light d

d That split the night d

d And touched

the sound of silence d

d And in the naked light I saw d

d Ten thousand people,

maybe more d

d People talking

without speaking d

d People hearing

without listening d

d People writing songs

that voices never share d

d And no one dared d

d Disturb the sound of silence d

d "Fools," said I,

"you do not know" d

d "Silence,

like a cancer, grows" d

d "Hear my words

that I might teach you" d

d "Take my arms

that I might reach you" d

d But my words,

like silent raindrops, fell... d

What I think is quite clear

is that we can work together,

in the last analysis,

and that what has been going on

within the United States

over the period

of the last three years...

the divisions, the violence, the

disenchantment with our society,

the divisions, whether it's

between blacks and whites,

between the poor and the more

affluent or between age groups

or on the war in Vietnam... that

we can start to work together.

We are a great country,

and a selfless country,

and a compassionate country.

And I intend to make that

my basis for running,

then, over the period

of the next few months.

D "The words of the prophets are

written on the subway walls" d

d "And tenement halls" d

Bobby! Yeah!

So, uh, my thanks to all of you.

And now it's on to Chicago

and let's win there.

Thank you very much.

Whoo!

It's impossible to hear tonight.

Robert Kennedy's victory is

setting up a possible showdown

in the general election

with Richard Nixon,

who his brother defeated

eight years ago.

We want Bobby!

We want Bobby! We want Bobby!

- Bobby!

- Bobby!

Bobby!

We want Bobby.

We want Bobby. We want Bobby.

- Hey, Bobby!

- Bobby!

- Bobby! Bobby!

- Where you going?

I wanna shake his hand.

You don't wanna shake his hand?

Bobby!

Senator, this way,

through the kitchen.

Senator, follow me.

No, no, wait, Senator.

- Bobby!

- Hey!

William! William!

- Hey!

We want Bobby.

We want Bobby. We want Bobby.

Please, right this way, sir.

Follow us, sir.

This way.

This way, through the kitchen.

Bobby! Bobby!

Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!
