Head of State Page #3

You'll make a brief statement at 11:00.

Let's go.

Hi, how are you doing? All right.

You all right.

- I wish you luck, sir.

- Arigatou.

It's like Timberland,

and I got a bit of Missy moving up there...

but I'm trying to go through

that Neptune feel-

Excuse me, the Teamsters are here.

What are you doing talking to the help?

Gentlemen, Mr. Mays Gilliam.

Guys, I'm all for labor, I'm all for unions.

But you know and I know

that you will endorse Lewis.

It's business.

We'll do what's best for the union.

- Have you decided on a running mate?

- We're thinking about it.

- You should consider Sanders.

- We're considering several options.

Excuse me.

Well, that depends.

What's up with this guy?

Track four. Check out track four.

What do you have there?

We got shrimp puffs and cheese snacks...

- just some finger foods.

- Thought that was you.

So what's up with the two jobs? Bad credit?

Why do I have to have bad credit?

Can't I be saving up for a car or for school?

Maybe I like to work? Excuse me.

I'm sorry. You know what?

I never got your name.

Hey, Lisa Clark. Mays.

Why you being so rude, Lisa Clark?

I am not being rude, I am working.

We can't mingle with the guests.

Plus, I don't know you.

- You know me.

- No, I don't know you.

But you know me.

You've come to the gas station

a couple of times...

and I see you, but I don't know you.

Let's get to know each other.

- Let's dance.

- I have to work.

I know you're working. I'm working, too.

So let's keep working. Want to dance?

Okay, you'll get me in trouble.

I cannot believe

you got me out here like this.

- Yeah, but you like it, right?

- A little.

I'm feeling it.

Go ahead, girl, work it!

Oh, my God. I'm having too much fun.

I got to get back to work.

No, come on, stay!

Come on!

Come on, brother,

I know you know how to do this dance.

No, sorry, I don't.

I know you know

how to do the Electric Slide.

No, I can't say that I do.

Get your ass in there!

- What the hell is this?

- Where's Mays?

Over there.

- Oh, my God!

- We've got to stop him.

Excuse us, please.

I am getting so hot

I am gonna take my clothes off

- What do you think you're doing?

- Stop it.

I'm just trying to get the party started.

Throw your hands in the air

And wave them like you just don't care

And if I got your vote for President

Let me hear you say, "Oh, yeah"

Shake that ass, Grandma!

Let me see you bounce!

Bounce!

We got a couple of freaks over there.

Let me see you shake!

Crip walk!

The roof is on fire!

No, it's a saying!

It's just a saying. Come back!

You turned the party out.

I have never seen anything like that.

Great party. Too bad about the fire.

- So, where are you off to now?

- I'm not even sure.

We start campaigning tomorrow.

We'll be all over the country.

Need a ride home?

I still have to clean up.

I don't know how long that will take me.

I could wait.

Are you sure?

I could send a car to pick you up.

No, thanks, but I got to go.

It was good seeing you again.

You too, buddy, old pal.

- Can I get a good-night kiss?

- No.

- I'm coming!

- She's coming!

I got to go. Good luck,

and call me if you get a chance.

Didn't you see me talking?

What kind of display was that?

I was getting the party started.

If the party needs to get started,

I'll handle it.

Just do what we say.

I don't think everybody appreciated

what you did in there.

We really had a great time.

It was off the hizzle for shizzle.

- They liked it.

- I don't care what they liked.

Mays, darling!

Darling, are you done yet?

No? If not, it's okay. I can wait.

But if we hurry,

we'll be able to get a table at Jezebel's.

Good evening. We're getting married.

I'm exhausted.

Know what I can't decide?

I can't decide whether we should have

a DJ or a band.

Security!

Thank you for inviting me

to the land of milk and honey.

It's you people, the dairy people...

people that make eggs, milk, cheese...

butter, bacon, that make the country great.

Milk makes the body good,

and you make the country good.

Thank you for inviting me

to Memphis, Tennessee.

It's people like you, the church people...

who are the backbone

and the spirit of this great land of ours.

I love the Lord,

and I love the King, Elvis Presley.

I want to thank you for inviting me

to the Lone Star State.

Home of the cowboys!

How about them Cowboys?

It's people like you, the ranchers...

who are the backbone of this country.

Now, before I go,

I got one more thing to say:

The stars at night are big and bright

Deep in the heart of Texas

It's not bad.

Will I get another speech anytime soon?

What's the matter with this speech?

I should be talking about something

a little more relevant.

Relevant?

People would be cheering

if I read the recipe for corn bread.

It's not working.

I'm only one point up in the polls.

Don't worry about the polls.

They're just a sampling. Polls change.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

We're here to help.

The people really like you.

Cheer up, we'll be in Chicago in a few days.

You got a brother there.

Then the people will find out

what you're all about.

Yeah, but I don't even know

what I'm all about.

In the latest polls, Mays Gilliam is up

just one point, to 10 percent.

Vice President Brian Lewis

still holds a commanding 84 percent.

Six percent are undecided, saying...

they don't know who they're voting for,

they just know it's not Gilliam.

When you get out there, listen to the crowd.

Talk to them, make it look like

you believe in what you're saying.

I know we haven't exactly

always seen eye to eye...

but this is very important.

- I can't stress that enough.

- Alderman Gilliam?

There's a Mitch Gilliam outside.

He says he's your brother.

Send him in.

Tonight, America will get

its first impressions of Mays Gilliam.

You know what they say

about first impressions.

Look at my little brother!

You said you'd call when you got here.

I was trying to call you,

but I've been doing press all day.

My little brother, running for President.

Let me introduce you to Martin Geller,

Debra Lassiter.

What's happening, baby? Thanks for what

you're doing for my brother. Appreciate it.

How about you, thriller? What's going-

Nice to meet you.

What do you do for a living?

I'm a bail bondsman.

I got an office on the Southside.

- Bail bondsman.

- Yes, sir.

How's business?

I tell you how business is.

Business is great.

Thank God for crime.

Thank God for crime.

Could you give us a minute?

Five.

Nice. Real nice.

Look at you, man!

I see you all on the shows, politicking.

You like the way your campaign is going?

Look at this.

Let me ask you something, brother.

When they gonna let you speak?

I've been talking all day.

I was talking to the press.

You been talking, but when they gonna

let you speak your mind?

This ain't you. You gonna say this sh*t?

This sh*t is booty.

Say this if you want to, watch that man

come sweep your butt off stage.
