:50:00
Let's make...
:50:02
...a mayor!
:50:09
You're right, we missed
the regular election...
:50:12
...but elected officials can be recalled,
impeached...
:50:15
...given the boot. Look at Nixon, Agnew.
:50:17
Then think of you...
:50:19
...Oswald Cobblepot, filling the void.
:50:22
I'd like to fill her void.
:50:26
We'll need signatures to overturn
the ballot. I can supply those.
:50:31
- Teach her my French flipper trick.
- We need one more thing.
:50:37
A platform?
:50:40
Stop global warming. Start global cooling.
Make the world an icebox.
:50:45
I like it. But to get the mayor recalled,
we must have a catalyst.
:50:49
"You're doing great, Mayor Cobblepot. "
:50:52
"Your table is ready, Mayor Cobblepot. "
:50:55
"I need you, Oswald. I need you now!"
:51:00
"That's the biggest parasol I've ever seen. "
:51:04
Soon an incident like the Gulf of Tonkin,
or the Reichstag fire...
:51:15
You want my old friends up there...
:51:18
...to drive the mayor into a foaming frenzy?
:51:21
- Exactly.
- Sounds fun.
:51:23
But...
:51:25
...I mustn't get sidetracked, Maxie.
:51:28
I have my own things to tend to.
:51:30
"Sidetracked?" This is your chance
to fulfill your destiny...
:51:34
...that your parents carelessly discarded.
:51:40
Reclaim my birthright, you mean?
:51:42
Imagine, as mayor,
you have the ear of the media...
:51:45
...access to the captains of industry...
:51:49
...unlimited poontang.
:51:54
You drive a hard bargain, Maxie.
:51:58
All right, I'll be mayor.
