Our Brand Is Crisis Page #7

and it was over. Finished.

Oh... That's awful.

At one point in my life,

I spent time, six months,

in a psychiatric hospital.

Uh, they gave me ECT.

And I have an ongoing battle

with depression.

Hypomanic episodes.

Thought it was obvious.

Only a lunatic would take this job, right?

- You are a liability.

- Yeah.

If you want me to go, I'll go.

But I think it would be a mistake.

I have what you need now.

It's personal.

And I am pissed.

Thank you, my beloved Bolivian family.

Thank you for receiving me here today.

A president must be sensitive.

A president must travel the whole country,

listening to his people.

That's why I'm starting this journey

today:
to listen to those in need,

to those who hope for a better future.

I spoke to a boy the other day,

seven years old...

Jane.

Pat.

I see you're still here.

Just come to see you off.

Hey, I liked that, uh,

leaflet thing you pulled.

La Paz Grassroots Organization.

So simple, so bad.

- Pretty good.

- I meant to ask.

How'd you manage to run over our llama?

Hmm?

I promise you

that when I am president of Bolivia,

this will not happen.

I want this boy to go to school

and have a future.

Did you ever tap for maple syrup, Jane?

Mmm-mmm.

You gotta pick the right tree,

pick the right time.

And then, if you get that

spile in real good

and real deep,

that syrup comes running out so sweet.

I'm gonna strip the bark off you, Bodine.

I'll see ya out there.

I want to dedicate this song

to my beloved Bolivian people.

Some say love,

It is a river

Hey! Hey!

We're done.

Let's go, thank you.

Some say love,

It is a hunger

What the f***?

Pablo! Give me that!

Stop the train.

Where are you? I said, where are you?

You were supposed to

wait till after the song.

What's going on?

What the f*** are you doing there?

I was just about to cry!

Well, I told you to

stay with the f***ing driver.

Yes!

Good afternoon, ladies.

I came to tell you that

we have a crisis in Bolivia.

A big crisis:
social,

economic, and political.

This is a socioeconomic crisis.

We need action

and not empty words!

What do you think?

This is a crisis of corruption,

corruption that's becoming

hyper-corruption.

I'm here

to fight against the corruption.

Pedro Ignacio Castillo,

he's been our president before,

and today he's a new man.

We need action

and not empty words.

But fighting together side by side,

we can save Bolivia from this crisis.

No, no, no.

You don't understand.

In this part of Bolivia,

people are uneducated.

They are not political.

You have to hammer the same thing

- over and over and over again!

- Yes and no.

- It's how the message...

- I can't take this anymore.

What, you gonna walk away

like a 6-year-old?

- Yes, I am going to walk away.

- That's fine. Fine with me.

What is with her hat?

She got it from

a feisty cholita in the clink.

- I don't believe this.

- What?

I don't believe it! That's Candy's bus.

You see that bus? You see la busa?

Overtake that bus. Overtake that bus.

- Wait, Jane.

- No.

How do you say "overtake"?

How do you say "overtake"?

P selo

a la izquierda!

Yes. P selo a la izquierda!

Jane, this isn't safe, all right?

No, come on now.

Jane, what're you gonna do

when you catch him?

Come on. Come on, come on.

No, no, no, don't be safe.

You can do this. You'll be fine.

Yes, yes, yes!

Come on!

- Yes! Yes!

- Jane!

Jane, this is not a game.

Hey! Hey!

Hey, fuckface! How you doin'?

Six points. Six points, you went down.

I'm so sorry!

But good job, everyone.

Keep up the good work!

No, no, no! Go, go, go!

Please slow the bus down, or let me out!

Yes! Very dangerous. Yes.

Watch the bridge! Watch the bridge!

Watch the bridge!

Everybody, hold on!

- Yes!

- What're you doing?

Oh, God.

Let me out of this bus!

Don't let him do that. You see him?

You cannot let him get ahead!

Hey, how much would it cost

for you to pass that bus?

F*** them. Now overtake that bus!

- P selo.

- Here. Here! Go, go, go!

- V monos!

- Go! Go! Go!

No, no! He's saying "a cliff."

No cliff! No, no, no! No cliff!

Go, go, go! Yes. Go, go, go!

Take it. Yes!

Holy sh*t!

You want something?

Put your foot down! Come on!

Candy Can!

Jesus Christ.

- All right!

- I give you Calamity Jane!

I'm gonna vomit.

Jane's got a great ass!

Hey.

Hey.

What's with the, uh, Chinese breakfast?

- Japanese.

- Oh.

I lived in Japan for a little while,

and I got used to it.

And what were you doing in Japan?

- You'll laugh.

- No, I won't.

I lived in a Buddhist monastery.

See? Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

I was doing some work with Free Tibet.

I got interested in Buddhism,

so I was thinkin' about becoming a monk.

Oh. What happened?

After carryin' sh*t for three months

and sittin' on my knees five hours a day,

I was persuaded to come back

to the world and, uh, do some good.

Let me know how that goes. Okay?

Right. I will.

What about you?

How'd you get wrapped up in all this?

I was helping my father.

That's right.

Nell told me you ran a mayoral

against Candy, right?

Mmm-hmm. Joe Shore. Decent guy.

He, uh... He looked like Robert Redford.

We were gonna save America.

Until Pat Candy arrived

for the opposition.

First thing he did was have

this shady local developer

make a $2,000 donation to us.

Dirty money.

Dirty money. Dirty money. Yep.

Then Candy leaked the story

about his own candidate's daughter

being a coke addict, right?

Mmm.

It was the last time

it was about politics for me.

What's it about now?

Stayin' away from the crowds,

and tryin' not to get my hands dirty.

Know what I mean?

It's understandable.

Sh*t.

We gotta go.

Hey, Nell. How's it goin'?

Uh, we have a matter of some concern here

- regarding Castillo.

- Okay.

Apparently some flyers

are being circulated

from the Church of the Cosmic Sun.

- Wind.

- Cosmic Wind.

They believe that the leader,

Bruce Loomis,

can cure them or protect them from...

What is it?

Basically the fliers implying

that Castillo is a member of a cult.

- Really?

- And it says that the leader of the cult

can teach his followers how to fly,

that he can predict the future,

that he can read minds, and it says,

"This is what Castillo believes in.

How can we believe in him?"

But the best part is that they're

in white robes and he's standing there...

- There's a picture.

- What?

...next to this,

you know, hippie guru,

kinda Willie Nelson lookin' guy.

And there's pyramids all over

and hieroglyphic... Hieroglyphics.

- How do you say that?

- Hieroglyphic.

He says there's a flyer

going around of Castillo

with some cult, wearing white robes.

- What? Who's it from?

- Who's it from?

It's the La Paz Grassroots Organization.

The La Paz Grassroots Organization?

- What?

- The same as the last one,

the La Paz Grassroots Organization.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

He's so good. He's so good.

- And also, Ben, the Wi-Fi is down.

- What?

Well, we need it.

What're you talking about?
