Torture device.

Hey Judy.

Oh hi Amanda.

Hi.

What's this?

This is awesome.

I think you'll

make a great Mayor.

Thank you.

Hold on.

Are you doing what I

think you're doing?

Why, what do you

think I'm doing?

What are you doing?

Oh, she's gonna do it again

so I can get it

for the front page.

Here you go Judy.

And for the headline

it needs to read,

"No more blowj*bs with

your tax dollars."

Perfect!

I am so proud of you.

Maybe you can accomplish

what I never could.

Actually Ruthie,

I would love it if you would

be my campaign manager.

Eh, you don't want

an old lady like me.

Get someone young and fresh.

Stop it.

Listen, seriously, I'm

not gonna run without you.

Okay, on one condition.

Okay.

Don't just beat Bret,

annihilate that sh*t head.

Ruth, I love it.

Language.

That felt good.

Now go get 'em.

Oh my gosh.

There's no going back now.

Yeah.

I would never ever

have the guts to do this.

Stop it, you could do it.

No I couldn't.

Oh, it's Dex.

Oh, how's that going?

Well, actually I am making.

I was, I was making

him dinner tonight.

Mayor.

Mayor!

As Mayor of Louisburg,

I promise that I

will make this town

more business

friendly for shops,

restaurants, hell

gentleman's clubs.

I'm gonna bring it all in.

I'm gonna make this town...

Hi, welcome to Honkers.

Are you here for the fundraiser?

No.

Are you

here for Bret Johnson?

No.

Are you a supporter?

No I'm not, I'm just

picking up a friend.

I look

forward to speaking

with all of you one on one.

Especially Miss Maxwell.

Someone whose support

I did not expect.

Not supporting,

not supporting.

Not supporting.

You are supporting.

No I'm not.

You are, you're here.

Heads up.

I just saw something

coming at me.

What the hell?!

Hey, move with me, come on.

Oh I've got the moves baby.

Okay, alright okay.

Oh yes.

Hey Dex, Dex

what are you doing?

Way to go fellas!

Bret, hey man this

fundraiser was awesome!

City Council, thanks for

all the free food and sh*t.

You guys are gonna

make the best team.

You guys voting for Bret?

You guys are voting for him.

You want Bret for Mayor?

Dex I'm running.

You're running.

Kinda changes things doesn't it?

Don't worry, I'll

totally vote for you.

Dex are you okay?

Yeah yeah,

just one minute.

Cool, I'm just gonna

let you rest there.

Hey thank you.

What?

Excuse me gentlemen.

I need you, come here.

What's going on?

Is the council backing you?

Well it's a fundraiser.

Oh my god, if I

were Mayor I would

actually make this town better!

I'd be able to

protect my grandma!

What are you gonna do?!

You're gonna put in strip clubs.

Maybe.

Face it, if you win

it's only gonna be

because you have a penis.

Oh, I don't need a penis.

You're not gonna get

the votes because

you're in your 30's,

you're unmarried,

and you have a lousy haircut.

You know what?

You have a terrible

haircut, check it out,

right there, 30's,

unmarried, awful haircut.

What's the difference?

The difference is I'm a dude.

So it doesn't really matter.

My haircut is standard.

Let go!

No!

I wish that men would

behave like women.

The world would be

a lot better place.

I wish women

would act like men,

it'd be more action less talk.

Let go!

No!

Are you okay?

What

just happened, sh*t?

My watch is broken.

I gotta go.

Good talk.

You

alright in there?

I'm fine.

Oh my god.

Dex, what are you...

Dex, what's going on?

I was gonna make you eggs.

Ew.

But waffles it is.

That's so sweet of you.

What's going on with you?

Shouldn't I be

asking you that?

I didn't think I drank

that much last night.

Hey, do you know who put

that ugly couch there?

You did.

Okay.

Are you wearing makeup?

Don't forget, I'm

cooking you dinner tonight.

Gotta go to pilates.

God, what is this?

Delicious.

Good

morning sunshine.

Why are you dressed like that?

I got an early meeting.

F***!

Coffee.

- Hey.

- Good to see ya.

- Ugh, hungover.

Yeah yeah.

Oh, alright.

Sorry, excuse me, thanks.

After you,

chivalry is dead.

Oh, careful there hot stuff.

Oh my god, sorry.

I like the vests ladies.

You like women in uniform.

Yeah, potentially

out of uniform too huh?

I'm gonna get you guys

raises when I'm Mayor,

so don't forget to vote alright?

Alright.

Okay.

I like the way he walks.

Morning Amanda.

Hey.

Nice purse.

Thank you.

Hey, could you get me a cup

of coffee when you go out?

Alright.

What's up boys.

Bring it in.

I actually really wanna talk

to you guys about something.

Listen, I know

it's a little weird

with Amanda and I both

running for Mayor,

but I really need to know

that you guys have my back.

Of course.

Speaking of, I think

for this campaign,

you should probably

stick to wearing makeup.

Huh?

No, no, he's got

great skin, great skin.

But Bret, you have to shave.

What the hell are

you talking about?

I respect a man

who goes natural.

But you need to win.

Wait, are you guys wearing?

You guys wearing makeup?

Hey, just know that

we're here for ya.

Okay.

You're here for me.

You're here for me.

Perfect, good, got it!

You guys are good.

This is a good prank.

Let's see how long

you keep it up huh?

My door's locked.

What's going on there?

And?

Mmm, it's really good.

I'm really impressed.

I thought you could

use a nice quiet dinner.

Thank you.

God, today was so weird.

You know I'm

here for you right?

Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, yeah.

Hey are you okay?

I'm fine.

Okay.

No, I'm not fine.

I'm scared.

I feel like we're

just starting at this

and now you're gonna be Mayor.

It's just a lot.

Hey, that's not

gonna change anything.

Amanda, you're gonna

have guys all over you.

I will?

Are you jealous?

No.

Yes.

Maybe, I don't know, I just,

I have this feeling...

Hey listen,

I'm not like that okay?

I like you.

There are no other guys.

Amanda why is

Bret calling you?

Terrible timing?

Why is he calling you?

I don't know, it

could be anything.

Then answer it.

Okay.

No, answer it now.

You know what Dex, back off.

Sorry.

Geez, I'm not gonna hit you.

Bret.

Hey you really

stepped up your game.

I see a sh*t ton of

your yard signs around.

What?

I don't have any

yard signs up yet.

Hey, I have a question.

Have you noticed

people acting weird?

No.

Yet, you're the only one

who seems remotely normal.

Alright, I gotta go.

Have a good night.

Oh I will, I have a date.

And she is picking me up.

Which is good 'cause

I can't find my truck.

Later.

Hey there.

You shouldn't be

walking all alone.

Have you

always been a cop?

Have you always been a hottie?

Question.

Got a

1031 at 4th and Main.

Copy that, enroute.
