short for Republican.
No, sir.
I saved the form, sir.
It is inside a folder
marked official on it.
So, I know that it is real.
Yes, but-- You're probably good then.
Let this one go, Frank.
Nice meeting you folks.
Oh, no stay for dinner.
We've got fried chicken
and fresh biscuits and okra.
I'll go down on you all.
It'll be a nice time.
Excuse me?
My cousin-- wife is excellent
at entertaining guests.
And even though I am a Repube,
the next President
of the United States
over to our house for dinner,
possibly share our bed,
even if he is a Democrat.
No, we have a long campaign
ahead of us.
I don't think it's the--
Sir, I can assure you
that this is
a house where wolves
will not attack us.
Plus, I got some moonshine
which does not taste
like a**hole grease.
Sold!
So I said to her
keep your back straight,
knees bent,
feet shoulder-width apart,
and keep your strokes
to a minimum.
Well, she can't golf
worth a sh*t
but she can give
a hell of a blow job.
It's true.
I'm looking at a big handicap
right now.
Ahhh, Cleavon,
so why do they call
this town Warm Springs?
Oh, Legend has it
that whenever a young Injun girl
becomes a woman,
you know, down there,
she will race toward the springs
and jump inside the water
and begin her menstruation
process.
It is said that the blood
collectively joining together
creates a natural warmth
that gives a man a feeling
as if he is back inside
a womb again.
It will invigorate him
and cause him to do things
that he could only do
when he was a fetus.
Is that true?
Is what true, sir?
The story you just told.
I am sorry,
I am quite inebriated
and I was unaware that I was
speaking out loud just now.
I am shamed.
Who want dessert?
We got peach cobbler,
rhubarb pie,
some southern
strawberry jam cake, and--
Excuse me, this doesn't
seem appropriate.
What is that, sir?
with a chalkboard
around his neck
with dessert choices on it.
It seems a little... racist.
These kind people
have taken me in,
given me an education,
shared their bed with me,
given me food,
and you have the nerve
to call them racist.
How dare you, sir?
I have merely been falling
behind on my writing,
so I asked if I may use
the chalkboard
to further my spelling,
and I have to deal with this?
I'm sorry, I--
I shall leave two incongruent
pieces of Georgia pine
next to your bed
in case you want to transfix
them together with twine
and light them ablaze
to make you feel at home, sir!
I didn't mean anything.
May I be excused, sir?
Yes, sure, Curtis.
I shall be in the garden
playing basketball,
should anyone need me.
So, Mr. Roosevelt,
may I escort you out
to the springs?
I think that you will find them
quite delightful.
I know that I do.
[CHUCKLES]
quite pleasant.
Mmm, Mrs. Buford,
will you show our esteemed
guest, Louis,
where our extra bathing
suits are?
Oh, that won't be necessary.
I like to be choked.
Mmm, indeed, sir.
Ah, this is remarkable,
I feel so invigorated.
It's like I have full movement
in my extremities again.
Kick your little old
legs, Frank.
Kick your little old legs.
Oh, yeah.
Legend has it
that the Injuns used to come
here to hide from werewolves.
Seems the wolves hate
warm water.
Is that real?
Because earlier you told me
another story about this place.
Mm?
I'm sorry, was I speaking
out loud again?
Yes.
God, sh*t, sometimes I think
that I am silent
when these thoughts
just flow between my lips.
I'm seeing a specialist
about it.
Anywho, my doctor recommended
that I come here
to relieve my polio
after my attack.
What?
Well, you were attacked too?
Mm-hmm, yes, sir--
up in the Appalachian Mountains.
I had taken my nephew, Jimmy,
Jimmy Carter,
on a camping trip.
Well, in the middle of the night
I had awoken
to relieve myself with my hands.
When, all of a sudden,
out of the corner of my eye
I noticed this werewolf
running through the trees
over to the tent,
trying to kill him.
[GROWL]
Uncle Cleavon, Uncle Cleavon.
[FDR]
And what did he do?
Well, instincts kick in
at that point.
And I do the only thing that Cleavon
Baybridge Buford knows how to do,
which is to sprint
over to the tent,
pull out a small sterling
silver cheese knife
at all times,
and kill that son of a b*tch
dead on the spot.
That, sir, was unnecessary.
And you are dead, sir.
Damn.
Well, I got a mild case
of the polio--
enough that I can walk
with a cane
as long as I have plenty
of Georgia peaches. Ah.
Peaches?
Mm-hmm.
Peaches, meet the next President
of the United States,
Mr. Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Much obliged, sir.
Mam.
I didn't touch your wife.
Oh, that's okay.
Our votes are swing,
if you know what I mean.
Let's enjoy the springs,
shall we?
Here, here.
Enjoy the springs.
This, sir,
was a pleasure.
Well, the pleasure
was all mine.
And mine-- twice.
Thanks, Mrs. Buford.
You're mighty welcome, boys.
You all come back soon,
now, you hear.
And good luck on the rest
of the campaign.
Just know that this Repube
will be voting for you.
Cleavon, if I win,
how would you like
to come down to Washington
and serve
as my vice president...
of the hot tub committee.
Are you serious, sir?
Yes, we can always use
a good Repube
like you on the other side
of the aisle.
Sir, you have no idea
how much this would mean to me.
When I was a little boy,
I put a magic hat on a snowman.
And he came to life.
I blacked out, I got all dizzy
and fell over on the ground.
And when I came to,
I looked up
and the sky was filled
with different colors.
We were flying
through the air together,
kicking our little legs.
We were free.
We were free.
I have that same feeling
right now, sir.
Just say, "yes."
Yes-- yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
And sir, don't worry--
we will get you
the great State of Georgia.
I can promise you that, sir.
Even though this is a State
filled with Repubes,
I will take my wife
to every single town.
She and I will suck
as many d*cks as it takes
to get these votes, sir.
That's how much you mean to me.
The experiences we had together,
I will never forget.
Just being friends, you know?
Not in a gay way,
just another politician,
you know?
Just shared
a warm bath together.
I will go door-to-door
and ask each and every person
to have a heart
and vote for FDR.
I will do that, sir.
I will do that.
Love the guy--
crazier than sh*t,
but I love him.
Thank you, sir.
[RADIO] And the results
Here is what we know, so far--
Hoover has won Pennsylvania,
New Hampshire, Vermont,
Delaware, and Connecticut.
Ooh.
Roosevelt has managed to secure
New York, New Jersey, Virginia,
Tennessee, and Georgia.
Hah, hah!
Good old Cleavon Buford,
that son of a b*tch did it!
I'll bet Mrs. Buford
