But I can lead by example.
And not the example
of somebody
who has survived
a werewolf attack
and now wheels back and forth
in front of you
like a God damn cripple
in a wheel chair!
That's right--
take a good look.
Cripple in a wheelchair!
Cripple in the wheelchair!
my entire life
hand and foot.
And there's nothing wrong
with that.
Except I wanted more--
I wanted to be the President
of the United States.
I wanted to lead
in its darkest hour.
And now I am going to lead
you into war.
I am going to fly
the first plane in
and lead our troops
onto the beach.
"Why would you do this?"
you might ask.
Not because I'm President
of the United States.
Not because it's
the heroic thing to do.
I am doing this to prove
to those werewolves,
that despite their attack,
I am not just
going to sit here
like some cripple
in a wheelchair!
Now look,
I know that you're scared.
Hell, I'm afraid too.
But I want you to remember...
we have nothing
to fear, but...
fear itself.
Now, let's go kick
some werewolf ass tomorrow!
Hito's been handled,
he won't bother us anymore.
Word.
Yep.
F***ing Einstein--
That project he was working on
in Manhattan is ready.
Way to go, Einstein.
Let me go with you.
No, Lou, The Delano's
got to do this on his own.
I'm a motorcycle of death.
I ain't got no sidecar.
I know.
Chair's all loaded
with silver Bs.
Rockets are loaded.
You're all set.
Thanks, man.
Oh, Lou, I just want you
to know,
take care of my mistress,
will you?
I have a spare key
for the Lincoln bedroom
underneath the mat,
but you might want to change
the sheets first, though.
Okay.
Word.
Word.
Give them hell, Frank!
Yeah!
Tower one, this is
Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
call sign-- Wheels of Steel.
Ready for take off.
[RADIO]
Roger that, Mr. President.
This is
Commander Winston Churchill,
call sign--
Big Fish and Chips.
You're clear for take off.
Winnie, you old son of a b*tch,
what are you doing in there?
Do you think I'd miss this?
If I wasn't drunk and blind,
I'd be up there with you,
right now.
I appreciate that, Churchie.
No retreat.
No f***ing surrender!
God damn right!
Now, go over there and blow
those f***ing werewolves
off the face of the planet!
Over and out.
May God be with you, Frank.
Oh, come on, George.
I'm fidgeting here
like a three-peckered puppy
in a wood chipper.
Hold on, hold on,
I'm almost there.
[RADIO]
Oh, ho-ho-ho!
I think that's him.
So, I said to Stalin,
"I don't care
if you are Russian,
you can't grab
another man's cock at dinner
and say, 'Sorry, I thought
that was my breadstick.'"
You know? [LAUGHS]
That's him all right.
[CHURCHILL] Commies, what are
you going to do with them?
They're all dick grabbers.
They love it.
All right, Frank,
you're approaching France.
Let's go silent on the radio
unless it's necessary-- over.
[FRANK]
Over and out.
Get a hold of him?
Yeah, I think Stalin
got a hold of him, personal.
That is enough, George.
Sorry, go back to standing
in the corner and being black.
How are you, Eleanor?
I'm hanging in there.
I'm just so worried.
Yeah.
Can't imagine what
you must be feeling.
Boss, boss, it's FDR.
Whoop, what the f***?
[CHURCHILL]
What is it, Frank?
I'm under attack.
Jesus Hightower Christ,
they're lighting me up like
before the first
Thanksgiving dinner!
God damnit, Frank,
get the hell out of there!
I can't, there's
too much fire power.
These f***ing werewolves
are relentless.
Ha ha, it's time to go
cripple-dick crazy
on these motherfuckers!
I was going to open
a chain of Italian
restaurants in America
with a staff that make
you feel like family.
I was going to call
the Olive...
Garden.
What kind of name
is Delano, anyway?
It sounds Jewish!
Oh, oh, sh*t.
Sh*t, I'm hit, I'm hit.
[CHURCHILL] Talk to me, Frank, Talk to me.
[FRANK]
I'm going down.
I'm going down.
I'm going down!
Frank!
Mayday! Mayday!
This is
Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
call sign-- Wheels of Steel,
I'm going down!
I'm going down!
I got to bail out--
too much firepower.
I don't know if I'm going--
[RADIO NOISE]
[SOBS]
No--
I am a President's wife.
I knew what I was getting into
when he took the job.
George,
Yes, mam.
could you get me the bottle
that Mr. Daniels sent over?
Yes, mam.
Thank you.
[WHISPERS]
Cheers.
I'm sure he's all right.
He's got to be all right--
it's Frank, right?
[ELEANOR BELCHES]
Come here, you son of a b*tch.
I got your back, Frank.
What the hell
are you doing here?
I stashed myself away in there
just in case you might
need some help.
Oh!
Plus, I wouldn't miss
a chance
to help you kill
some werewolves.
Hold on, I'm going to get
you out of here.
Underneath the arms.
Friends until the end, Frank.
Friends until the end!
Hang on, Frank, I'm going to get
you out of here.
You ready, Frank?
Red-eye!
Follow me!
Wow, we're really high up here,
aren't we, Frank?
We're going into war.
Yeah.
Oh, sh*t.
What?
Hey, Frank,
remember when I said,
"Friends until the end?"
Yeah.
well, this is the end.
I'm not wearing
a parachute.
I'm definitely
going to die.
You're a hero, Cleavon.
I'll make sure
people know that.
I appreciate that, Frank.
And Frank,
take care of my wife for me.
No doubt.
Oh.
Down with Americans.
You want The Delano, b*tch!
You got The Delano,
motherf***er!
F*** you, Roosevelt, f*** you!
Picture me rolling!
What's up, Hitler?
[RADIO] It's been 16 days since
President Roosevelt's plane
went down over Normandy
and there's still
no sign of the old stalwart.
At this point most have begun
to fear the worst--
that our beloved FDR
has been killed.
Turn that God damn thing off.
I can't bear it, anymore.
I'm back.
I have a nice crme brle
and a chocolate mousse.
I'll take the chocolate mousse if
you-- Get the f*** out of here.
Bet if I was white
I could have had
a chocolate mousse.
with the side of polio?
For God's sake, Frank.
What?
Somebody die?
Oh yeah, Mussolini and Hitler,
Oh, Frank, I knew it!
What the hell happened
out there?
Well, my plane was shot to sh*t,
so I had to go rogue --
I had to go with an old-school
ground attack.
There were werewolves
everywhere.
I just never took my finger
off the trigger.
It was a hell of a battle,
hell of a battle!
Were you captured? You've been
missing for 16 days.
No, I killed Hitler
and most of their soldiers.
I was cool until I had to wheel
myself out of there.
Do you know how hard it is
to maneuver a wheelchair
through sand?
[LAUGHS]
Eleanor, are you okay?
You haven't said anything.
Aren't you happy to see me?
Damn you, damn you,
don't you ever put me through
anything like that again!
