Bulworth Page #6

Just get out of the car.

- You afraid of somebody?

- Yeah.

Kill 'em live

Thou our father

Christ our brother

All who live in love are thine

Teach us how to love each other

Lift us to the joy divine

If you're so afraid,

why don't you tell me why?

I can't.

I just need a guy to call a guy.

Call the guy yourself.

I don't know how.

Let's go back to the hotel.

- You liked that hotel.

- I gotta stay out of sight.

Kill 'em live

It is worse than arrogance.

It is contempt.

Contempt for the press

and for the people.

Have you heard a rumor that

Gephardt's looking for someone?

I'm staying out of sight

until he gets back.

We can wait in the car.

Hi, Mimi.

We lost our ride to the debate.

Can we catch a ride

with you guys?

- He split with the limo?

- Yeah.

So who walks in? Huey Newton.

You know who Huey Newton was?

A lot of people I talk to...

black, your age... don't know.

Huey.

Why do you think

there are no more black leaders?

Some think it's because

they all got killed...

but I think

it's from the decimation...

of urban manufacturing bases.

Senator, an optimistic,

energized population...

throws up optimistic,

energized leaders.

When you shift manufacturing

to the Third World...

you destroy

the blue-collar core...

of the black activist

population.

Some people would say

the problem is cultural.

But the media is controlled

by fewer and fewer people.

Add to that a consumer culture

based on self-gratification...

and it means nobody

wants leaders...

calling for self-sacrifice.

Fact is, I'm a materialist.

If I look at the economy...

high employment means

jobs for African-Americans.

World War II meant

lots of jobs for black folks.

That's what energized people

for the civil rights movement.

An energized,

hopeful community...

not only produces leaders,

but leaders they'll respond to.

What do you think, Senator?

What do you think my age is?

Your age?

You said black people my age.

Oh. 23?

Twenty-six.

How old do you think I am?

How old?

Hmm?

Sixty.

My mother was a Panther.

Huey Newton

fed kids on my block.

Huh.

Senator,

aren't you late for the debate?

Davers, Davers, Davers.

I've been looking for you

everywhere.

I'm here.

We have to call Vinnie.

You know what I get

out of this place? Bupkus.

Talk to you later.

- Yeah?

- Vinnie, it's Nina.

You a f***ing bimbo?

I couldn't get him

up to the room.

You're incompetent.

You didn't

have to push him off.

You just had

to get him upstairs.

I've had it with you!

Vinnie, wait.

You move on to plan B.

What the f*** is plan B?

You know plan B.

And you better get it done.

You said if I got him up

to the room, I'd get 10 Gs.

- F***ing bimbo!

- Vinnie.

Vinnie! Davers.

The Senator

wants to speak with you.

Hey, Vinnie. Vinnie, my friend,

how are you?

Vinnie, I'm very relieved

to get in touch with you...

because we're gonna have

to call off...

the weekend research project.

Call it off?

- That's not a problem, is it?

- Not a problem?

My plans have changed.

But you keep the fee.

That's not a problem, is it?

No.

Oh, good!

Good, good, Vinnie.

Let me ask you a favor.

Can we keep this

just between the two of us?

You and me

and whoever's doing the thing?

We're gonna need a surcharge.

- Fine.

- Cancellation fee.

OK. Just keep the check.

No. An additional 50,000.

That's good.

I'll send Davers over right away

with another check.

Shall we consider it done?

Yeah.

Wonderful. Wonderful.

Good. Thanks, Vinnie, thanks.

You're welcome.

F***in' crazy motherf***er.

Senator, what is

a weekend research project?

No, it's a... It's nothing.

It's all off.

That guy's nuts.

I don't feel too good.

Want something?

Vinnie.

You want something?

Vinnie!

I gotta go. I'm out.

All right!

We're late,

we're late, we're late!

For a very important debate!

And I'm feeling so great

while I'm feeling my fate

when I get to the gate...

Senator!

'Cause I got a new slate

on my plate and it's great

If you want to hide,

I know a place.

You think after all this crap

is over Tuesday...

that maybe you could

actually, like, hang?

- Hang?

- Hang out with me?

Oh, hang out with you.

What do you think?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

I got the plan.

Want to meet my family tonight?

Oh, that would... That's great.

That's great, that's great

I got a whole new slate

I get to meet the family,

I can hardly wait

I think he's finally

recognizing the situation...

and getting some sleep.

There's...

OK, listen to me.

I'm not letting him

on television...

until he explains himself.

Say he got a disease

or stuck in traffic.

We'll stand here

and block him...

arms akimbo if necessary.

Prevent him from doing further

damage to his and our careers.

I'm explicitly authorizing

the use of force at this point.

Murphy, Feldman, Macavoy.

Hey, boss.

Didn't work.

I think he's OK now.

Got the electric razor?

- I got the razor.

- Get him to shave.

They're ready.

How about a quick shave?

The format agreed to

is as follows...

there will be

no opening statements.

Questions will be addressed

to each of the candidates...

in alternating order.

The candidate to whom

the question is addressed...

will have two and a half minutes

to answer.

The other candidate will then

have one minute to reply.

And the first candidate will

then have another 30 seconds...

for a final comment

on that question.

After the allotted time

for questions...

each candidate

will make a final statement...

of three minutes.

Mr. Weldie

won the drawing of lots.

He's elected to make

his closing statement.

I was supposed

to set him up, not do the sh*t.

Now I can't even get Vinnie

on the damn phone.

The first question

will be from Jann Carl...

and is for Senator Bulworth.

Senator, the news today

requires us to ask you...

about this sudden change

in your campaign style.

Could you explain it?

Why are you here?

Admit it.

It's 'cause you make a bundle.

I beg your pardon?

You're not here 'cause you're

getting paid a bundle of money.

Come on, come on.

We got three

pretty rich guys here...

getting paid

by some really rich guys...

to ask a couple

of other rich guys...

questions about their campaign.

But our campaigns are financed

by the same guys...

that pay you guys your money...

so what are we talking about?

I'm bringing the man

down there.

If they don't like it,

they can kiss my ass.

I could tell you stories...

about getting money from them

that would pin your ears back.

Stories about me.

I don't know about Hugh.

Do you have that, uh...

Well...

But, uh, I tell you...

He's got something hot here.

Republicans, Democrats,

what's the difference?

Your guys, my guys,

our guys, us guys.

It's a club...

so why don't we just,

uh, have a drink? Hugh?

No?

You know, Hugh,

if you win this thing...

you really gotta think about

where your kids go to school.

We put our daughter in

Sidwell-Friends with Clinton's.
