Milk Page #5

Hi, guys.

Mr. Milk, Rick Stokes

isn't pulling out.

He's officially filed

to run against you.

My friend at The Advocate

says David Goodstein is backing him.

So, a gay candidate

against a gay candidate.

That's unfortunate.

Let's find out when they

are going to announce.

So you replaced

Scott with a lesbian?

Anne worked on a recycling

campaign up north.

She's very, very organized.

We need that.

How do you know she's

not a plant for Rick Stokes?

Are you guys

always this paranoid?

Yes. We take after Harvey.

Don't you have someone's

laundry to do?

Shouldn't you be at

a hairdressing convention?

Sir, my girlfriends say

you guys don't like women.

I'm just asking.

Is there a place for us in all

this or are you all scared of girls?

Okay, gentlemen,

we've already got a tinker

bell, a lotus blossom.

We've got Jim and Dick

in their three-piece suits.

We need someone to manage things.

A woman this time.

Plus,

she's the right price,

and she's got bigger balls

than anybody else in here.

Just give me whatever is in the

register at the end of the day.

So should I call The Chronicle about

getting us an actual endorsement this time?

No?

Yeah, call The Chronicle,

sweetheart. Tell them I said hi.

Please call. In fact,

don't drive down there.

You'll scare

the sh*t out of them.

Call.

All right.

Hi, I'm Cleve.

Anne. Good to meet you.

I was telling Harvey we needed

some tough dykes around here, so...

Well, you got one.

All right.

First ever newspaper

endorsement.

And we got

the Bay Guardian,

The Sentinel and

The Bay Area Reporter.

You are pulling your weight.

Oh, this is sensational!

They endorsed you for

being a good businessman?

Oh, my gosh, you really

are a miracle worker.

Scott has got to read this.

He's just gonna piss himself.

Yeah,

you should show him.

You know what you should do, Cleve,

you should get yourself a boy to

celebrate with, just in case we win.

Anybody want to

buy me a drink?

Oh, I will buy you

a drink.

How about a bottle

of champagne?

We are going to The Stud

right f***ing now.

Harvey, are you going to come?

You're gonna miss out?

Go, go, go, go.

I want to be with my newspaper.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, I'm buying.

You're not buying.

You don't have any money.

Gonna win this time, Milk?

You look more

handsome in the poster.

Oh, thank you.

You know, palominos

are my favorite horse.

They're smart.

But they're

compact and fast.

I like that.

You think I'm more

like a palomino,

or a stallion?

You know,

with big balls and...

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Here, let me help you.

You okay?

Yeah, it's...

- Come in.

Here, just lean on me.

Thank you.

- What happened?

I don't know, these

boots are too big for me.

Oh, well, let's get you

in and get those off your feet.

Where you going?

I have some things to do.

I got to go and meet

some friends. No, no, no.

My father beat

me when he found out.

So, that's

why I came here.

But, I'm living with this

guy that... I don't know.

I don't like him.

Nobody will

ever beat you again.

I love you.

I love you.

Do you even

remember my name?

No.

Harvey.

I'm Harvey.

Harvey, I love you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

For the first time,

it all came together.

The union boys, women, the

seniors, the gays and minorities.

All of the "us's"

showed up.

We can hear it,

we can't really see too much,

but it looks and sounds

to you and to me

like New Year's Eve

on Market Street.

We did it!

I love you all!

We are the movement. We are

the movement. Thank you so much.

Come on, we just want

to congratulate him.

No, I understand, but

right now we're all full.

Harvey!

Harvey!

- Harvey!

Hey, Harvey!

Hey.

Sorry, it's just so crowded.

Come in, sorry, sorry.

It's so crowded.

It's just so crowded.

Harvey, man!

Scotty!

Is this all for you, Harvey?

Are you this famous, baby?

No, we do this all the time.

You like it?

Yeah.

The new Mrs. Milk.

I give it a week.

Gordon Lau, Carol Ruth Silver. It's the

most liberal board in years. In history!

What about Dan White?

Did he win?

We'll deal with him tomorrow.

- Oh, God.

Does this mean, as many

straights are concerned,

maybe the gays are taking

over San Francisco?

Are you going to be a

supervisor for all the people?

Well, I have to be. That's

what I was elected for.

I have to be there to

open for the dialogue,

for the sensitivities of all

people and all their problems.

The problems that affect

this city, affect us all.

Okay, well,

congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you, San Francisco!

And that's Harvey Milk,

celebrating his election to the

San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

For Channel Five news,

I'm Mary Dilts.

I, Harvey Milk, do solemnly swear...

I, Harvey Milk, do solemnly swear...

That I will support and defend the

Constitution of the United States...

hat I will support and defend the

Constitution of the United States...

During such time as I

hold the office of supervisor,

City and County

of San Francisco.

During such time as I hold

the office of supervisor,

City and County

of San Francisco.

Congratulations, Harvey.

- Thank you, Mayor.

Anita Bryant said that it was gay people

that brought the drought to California.

Well, it looks to me as though

it's finally started raining.

This will be

the first time in many years

that we've seen so many new faces

on the Board of Supervisors.

Do you think such diversity

will cripple the board?

Well, the name of the game is

six votes to get anything passed.

So, whether you like it or not,

Dan and I are

in bed together.

Politically speaking.

You see, I've assured

Harvey here that, uh,

my brochure's comments

about social deviants

referred more to junkies

than to his people.

See, I'm about to

have my first child

and I had to make sure that this city

remains a decent place to raise him.

Well, thank you so much

for coming on the show, gentlemen,

and we'll see what happens.

That's it?

It's over? We're finished?

Yes.

That was quick.

- Thank you.

How long were

you a fireman, Dan?

A couple of years.

And you were a police

officer before that?

You got something

against cops, Harv?

No, no. They tend

to against me though.

But firefighters,

they're the true heroes.

They supported me on my last

campaign. I fully support them.

I appreciate that.

I meant what I said.

I'd like to work together.

Me, too.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

Oh. What do you think

of my new theater?

A bit over the top.

You're wearing a suit?

I got it

from a friend.

No, no, no, no.

Anytime you come here, I want you

to wear the tightest jeans possible.

Never blend in. And

never take the elevator.

Always use

the stairs.

You can make such a grand

entrance by taking these stairs.

Hello.

Carol, friend.

Dan White.

Hello, Dianne.

And then this is

Gordon Lau's office.

Anne, can you set Cleve up on mail?

Will do.

Okay,

first order of business

to come out of this office

is a citywide
