:34:03
Oh, come on, Grace. All that means
is he's never run for public office.
:34:07
[ Chuckling ]
:34:09
- What do you got, Bert?
- F.B.l., C.l.A.-- nothing.
:34:13
But this turned up in the local paper.
:34:16
And, uh, that's it?
:34:18
That's it. We're running
against the pie-eating champ.
:34:22
- Huh.
- And think about this.
:34:26
He runs for mayor, but only
when he thinks he's unopposed.
:34:29
He dates the same woman
for six years...
:34:31
but he never pops the question.
:34:34
What's wrong with this picture?
:34:36
He won't take risks.!
He won't make a commitment.
:34:40
And any man who won't make a commitment
shouldn't be mayor of anything.
:34:44
- That's good. How do we get that out?
- Whisper campaign, at first.
:34:48
Then radio, and eventually,
we'll have to have some TVspots.
:34:52
Shouldn't get too expensive, but--
:34:53
Mr. President, l'm sure
you don't want to hear this...
:34:56
but would the easiest thing be--
:34:59
Should we discuss a withdrawal?
:35:02
Withdrawal? Grace!
:35:04
He's the Eagle!
:35:06
Eagle Cole has never run away
from anything in his life!
:35:11
- Not to mention what it
would do to his finances.
- Finances?
:35:13
Book deals, corporate boards,
library fund-raising.
:35:17
You quit or, God help us,
lose to a plumber...
:35:20
we can kiss those deals good-bye
faster than you can say Roto-Rooter.
:35:23
This is not about Mooseport.
lt's about winning.
:35:25
lt's about spending three million dollars
to protect 20.
:35:28
Maybe l should commit
to that speaking tour.
:35:31
l-- l, uh--
l had to cancel that, sir.
:35:35
You-- You what?
:35:37
lt-lt seemed obvious. lt was right
in the middle of the campaign.
:35:41
That was millions of dollars!
:35:43
Sir, there is still that offer...
:35:45
from the Soova Motors people.
:35:47
- The ex-president cannot do car commercials.
- But have you seen the car?
:35:51
Look at this.
lt's snappy styling, snappy president.
:35:54
- Bullard.!
- lt's smooth handling.
:35:56
- Leather interior!
- Bullard! Get out, get out.
