and promise never to come back.
Which is okey-dokey with me.
Don't work that way, Junior.
Not to me, not to this family.
Now, I'm getting you out of this,
this time.
I don't wanna get
any more phone calls like this again.
Ever.
- You hear me?
- Yes, sir.
- It's up there.
Quit messing with me.
- Manuel.
- Get your butt back in here.
to go up there just now.
Sh*t.
- What happened?
- I think the bearing stopped.
- Hey, watch this for me, will you?
- Okay.
- Watch it.
- Okay.
Hey, Miguel.
- Is that too hot?
- Yeah.
Damn.
I need some help out here.
Bush, what you doing off the floor?
Shift's not over till 1800.
I'm having a drink, sir.
Get back there.
The motor's overheating.
I need every swinging dick I got.
Yeah, I know that.
But, sir, you see, I'm about parched.
You know, I just need
You already had your break. This ain't
some fancy-ass lvy League school.
Now, haul that butt of yours
back out to your motor...
...before something else happens.
All right. You know, sir...
...I think this butt of mine just quit.
- That the way you want it?
That's fine with me.
Get your ass off my rig.
I'll just get the next coach out.
Thank you.
Look, how many times
do I gotta tell you? You are my gal.
I mean, I'm as happy as a rabbit
But you never say the words.
What words?
The L word.
The L word? What, lesbian?
You're no lesbian.
if you're always joking?
Come on, Fran, I'm crazy about you.
Okay?
We're gonna go back to Houston.
We're gonna have a big church
wedding. All the trimmings. All of it.
What kind of church?
I grew up Episcopalian.
I grew up Presbyterian...
...and then
I turned into Episcopalian.
Well, I'm a Baptist.
Episcopalian, Baptist,
what the hell does it matter?
You're gonna be one of us, a Bush.
How does that sound, sweetheart?
You mean it? You swear it?
Look, then we're gonna move
to New York. You ever been there?
Bright lights, big city.
It's even bigger than Dallas.
I'm gonna work on Wall Street.
I got an uncle who's gonna set me up.
Told me, "Just say the word."
You gotta picture
a boatload of money.
We're gonna be on a big boat
with lots of money.
- New York?
- Yup.
Start dreaming now.
- George.
- Yeah?
Are you proposing to me?
If I had a rock big enough,
I'd give it to you right now.
Freddie Mac, here we go,
two more shots.
Oh, I love this song. Come on, honey.
- Come on. Get on up here, girl.
- What are you doing? You're crazy.
Come on, baby.
Yeah.
Come on, my boy.
Damn right, brother.
- See you later, George. Tell Barbara hi.
- Junior.
- Thanks for coming.
- W.
Hey, guys.
Tell him... Tell him that I won't be able
to do that till 3.
No, that's the soonest I can do it.
And hold my phone calls.
Let's see now. Sit down.
If I remember correctly, you didn't like
the sporting-goods job...
...or the oil-rig job.
Working in the investment firm
wasn't for you either.
That ranch-hand thing, Arizona.
That sure didn't last long.
...with flying colors
in the Air National Guard, Junior.
We're still not out of that one.
Now this gal, Suzie. Shooting off
her mouth about you knocking her up.
- Wait. How did you know about that?
- Word gets around, boy.
That's a danged lie, Poppy.
I used a condom. I'm not dumb.
What are you cut out for?
Partying, chasing tail, driving drunk?
What do you think you are?
A Kennedy?
You're a Bush. Act like one.
You can't even hold a job.
We always worked for our living.
It's time you joined the rest of us...
...and decided what it is
you're gonna do with your life.
I know, Poppy.
I'm just having a devil of a time
trying to figure it out.
Well, then figure it out soon, Junior.
Your brother Jeb
graduates Phi Beta Kappa.
What did you get? Cs?
You only get one bite at the apple.
Well, Jeb's not me
and I don't wanna be Jeb, Poppy.
Look, what I'd really love...
I mean, what I'd really love to do
is to find something in baseball.
What? You can't play.
Coach? You're fishing
for the moon in the water.
Something real.
I started out in the oil fields.
I was hoping that...
No, I'll try harder, Poppy, I promise.
No, I can do it.
Can you? Can you really?
You agreed to work
for a period of time...
...and you haven't
kept your word once. Not once.
In our family, the Bush family...
...we honor our commitments.
I'll take care of this...
...young woman.
You disappoint me, Junior.
Deeply disappoint me.
Is that it?
Yeah.
Almost three minutes behind, Rafael.
Pick up the pace.
My running times are better than ever
since the Afghan invasion.
I'm back down from 7-minute miles
to the 6:
45s.I mean, honestly, I'm probably
the fastest president in history.
I heard your father
Yeah, second fastest, maybe.
He had endurance,
but not my kind of speed.
What about Clinton?
than that lardass.
And my pulse is only 35I 40.
You need to get in shape, Vice.
We need you around.
Three heart attacks is three too many.
Thank you.
Mr. President...
...if there was an E. coli breakout
in a produce farm in Maryland...
...would you take the chance of eating
the lettuce in that sandwich?
Why are you bringing this up?
I mean, you know I got tasters
in the kitchen.
If there was a 1 percent chance
of you dying, sir...
...would you eat the lettuce
in that sandwich?
One percent?
No. Probably not.
Most people wouldn't, sir.
And that's the dark side.
The 1 percent chance of a nuclear
attack, or an anthrax epidemic...
...or God help us,
a smallpox outbreak.
We'd have 200 million Americans
dead on our hands.
Why are you
bringing this up at lunch?
Vice, I mean, you know
I agree with you on this.
Because I'm more worried now
than I was on 9l11.
And you know
how disorganized we were.
I just wanna know
where you're going with this.
Mr. President...
...this is a fulcrum point in history.
Your presidency.
The Middle East, 9l11,
homeland security.
Everything is coming together
like a perfect storm.
Now, with all due respect, sir...
...I don't think this executive branch
is ready for that.
- Didn't we get the Patriot Act through?
- Doesn't go far enough, sir.
All right, Vice, so, what do you want
me to do that I haven't already done?
I mean, look, we're on top of the
banks, the telecoms, the databases...
...these Internet carriers.
We're tracking, what,
- We got this Guantanemera open.
- Guantanamo.
Nobody's gonna be hearing
from those people for a long time.
Sir, I served your father.
And he was an able
and honorable man.
And he won the Iraq war.
But he, myself and Powell...
...we let that momentum slip away.
And if we hadn't...
...we wouldn't be looking down
