is lovely in the spring.

Lithuania wow.

Along walk from her to Lithuania.

Oswald?

Would like you to come

to dinner on Monday?

Mondays not good for Bernard.

I thought maybe it could

just be the two of us.

I think we're old enough

not to need a chaperone.

Did I miss anything?

Why are we doing this?

It's months away from

anyone's birthday.

You shouldn't need a special

occasion to see people

that you love.

Hello Grandmother.

Hello Mother. Hello Father.

Hi ya'll.

I brought you some sunflowers today.

And to borrow from

the Jewish tradition,

I have brought rocks

to place on your graves

to signify my enduring

love and memory of you.

I come bearing some exciting news

I'm now an official

candidate for the Livingston

Board of Education.

You know what he also has?

He also has a girl.

Who comes by the house.

And they go to his bedroom.

Her name is Veronica Krauss.

She's my campaign manager.

Grandpa also has new friend.

I got a new pair of shoes last...

Ah... What was it?

98 when you bought

me that pair of shoes

look kinda of like this.

Well, these are new.

They don't fit as good as your's

darling but they're

I like them.

Why didn't you tell everybody

about the Editor-Ln-Chief?

There's nothing to tell.

Everything is on pace for the Jr.

Prom.

We put a down payment

for the caterer and

DJ has agreed to...

I'm sure everything will

be perfect, Veronica.

My only question is,

who's gonna be your luck date?

Hello Jr. Class.

I'd like to thank Principal

Greely for allowing us to hold

this pep rally today.

For the first time in

my three years at LHS

we're gathered here not to

cheer on a sport or an athlete

but rather to show our

support for a selfless

member of our student body.

Yeah.

Please put your hands

together for the next member

of the Livingston Board of Education.

Bernie Flannigan.

Thank you, Livingston High School.

Next month I will be

representing us, the students,

in the board of education elections.

I ask that all of you who can,

not only vote

but also encourage your

parents or guardians

to do the same.

Next week I will be engaging

in a political debate with

the other candidates at

the Spring PTA meeting.

I hope that you come

and show your support.

If your parents see your

fervor for your education

we can only hope it will inspire them

to cast a ballot for change.

Since I declared my candidacy,

I have heard from so many

of you.

Your ideas and concerns

resonate with me.

For example, there is David

Shankles, a freshman,

who would like for all

students to have iPads

or Kindles or some

form of a PDF reader.

David is tired of

carrying around his books

as I'm sure most of you are.

This is 2016 and we have

an opportunity to save

our backs but also thousands of trees.

Then there's Sally Stephenson,

a sophomore.

Who ask me to look

into more field trips.

Livingston is throwing

distance from New York City.

And some of the best

museums in the world.

Yet how many of you have ever been to

'The Natural History Museum'?

Please, raise your hand if you have.

Please lower your hands if

you went with your family.

As I suspected.

I, for one, think the

township should be ashamed.

Finally, there's Russel Wachtler,

a senior,

who suggested to me that

in the nurse's office

there should be a

basket of free condoms.

Students are mature enough

to vote and to fight in wars,

so surely they should be mature

enough to have protected sex.

Am I right?

So please go home

and tell your parents

to vote for me.

Bernie Flannigan to be your

to be your voice on the

Livingston Board of Education.

Shall we begin the debate prep?

Yes. What's your opinion

on school vouchers?

I think they're a good thing

in a free market economy.

Public education could use

the competition especially

in lower-income areas.

Name three things you would

cut from the school budget.

French, all processed

foods from the cafeteria,

the gifted and talented

program in elementary school.

You would cut gifted and talented?

Yeah I was in gifted and talented.

As was I.

However, I'm confident telling

90% of elementary school

children that they do

not qualify for G& is not a very good thing

for childhood development.

That's great.

Can we stop for one second?

One second. I gotta catch my breath.

Why did we have to prep while jogging?

Studies show that the brain

is at its sharpest while

physically active.

Are you ready for some sit-ups?

Are you serious?

Urgh!

Can I tell you something?

Of course.

I got an A-in gym last year.

There's nothing wrong with an A-.

Yes there is.

That A-screwed up my GPA

and because of it I'm

# 2 in our class.

It's okay to not to be #1.

Not if you want to go to Yale.

Ok.

Oh no.

You owe 4 sets of 20.

PDA, anyone?

They need to get a room.

When is your turn?

After your 4 sets of 20.

Hello, you've reached

the Flannigans be brief.

Hello Oswald. It's Barbara.

I was wondering if you'd like

to come over later for dinner.

I'm making fajitas.

Also next week there's a

lecture at the library

on Russian Oligarchs.

I thought you might be interested.

I thought you might be interested.

In any case, give it. Give me a call.

One way or the other.

Well okay, bye.

What's your stance on teacher tenure?

I don't like it.

I respect teachers and think they

should be paid a better wage.

However, I also think they should be

judged on their annual performance.

Just like ever other profession.

I love that dress.

It's quite lovely.

Hypothetically speaking,

if you were to take anyone

to Junior Prom, who would you take?

Of course, I would take Tai-Yu.

Right.

I meant someone local.

Well, hypothetically speaking

if I didn't have a girlfriend who

lives ten thousand miles away,

I would probably take... you.

And who would you take to the prom?

Hypothetically speaking.

I guess I would take you too.

We should probably get going.

I have a number of errands

to run before the debate.

Yeah. No me too.

You shouldn't smoke marijuana, Mike.

Next.

Hi, Wesley.

I have some letters to mail.

What are all these?

Just some campaign

literature about Bernie.

I'm sending fliers to every

registered independent

in Livingston.

Oh man, Bernie is lucky

to have you on his side.

Thank you.

How's he holding up?

He hasn't been here in a while

and his P.O. box is over flowing.

Oh yeah. That reminds me. Here.

He gave me his key and

a signed authorization

to pick it up.

He's been super busy lately.

Is that okay?

Should be fine.

This checks out.

Let me go grab it for you.

I'll be right back.

Great thank you.

Hey Evelyne, you want lunch?

Hell yeah.

Catfish, Tuna fish...

all kinds of fish.

Alright here we go.

Thank you so much.

Good luck. Have a good one.

See you.

E-wo, hello Ber-yard. Lope you nice.

Tis is har to say but I tink

we ould see otter pee-pol.

She's breaking up with him.

Be far away har.

Very har. An now you no

Stu-Dy a-broa-d.
