I am announcing today my candidacy
for the presidency of the United States.
I do not run for the presidency merely to oppose any man,
but to propose new policies.
I run because I am convinced
that this country is on a perilous course
and because I have such strong feelings
about what must be done,
and I feel that Im obliged
to do all that I can.
CROWD Hell, no, we wont go! Hell, no, we won´tt go!
Theres a time when
the operation of the machine becomes so odious...
I shall not see
and I will not accept
the nomination of my party for another term
as your president.
... some very sad news for all of you,
and, I think, uh, sad news for all of our fellow citizens
and people who love peace
all over the world, and that is that, uh,
Martin Luther King was shot
and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.
Were gonna say to the whole
damn government: ´SStick ´eem up, mother. ´´´<
Bobby Kennedys the only white man in America I trust.
If I have reason to believe
that theres gonna be a riot started, and somebody tells me
that theres gonna be trouble if you don´tt stop them,
then its my duty to stop them.
Then you go out and arrest them?
Oh, absolutely.
How can you go arrest somebody
if they havent violated the law?
Theyre ready to violate the law.
In other words...
Could I suggest in the luncheon period of time
that the sheriff and the district attorney
read the Constitution of the United States?
I dont want to be part of the United States,
I dont want to be part of the American people,
and have them write of us
as they wrote of Rome: ´TThey made a desert,
and they called it peace. ´<
Your generation, this generation,
cannot afford to waste its substance and its hope
in the struggles of the past.
For beyond these walls
is a world to be helped and improved
and made safe for the welfare of mankind.
Do we know anything yet?
We got men on the sixth floor
going from room to room. You the manager?
PauI Ebbers. And the bungalows?
Were checking them now.
WOMAN 5574.
Roger that.
- Its a false alarm. - False alarm.
I wouldnt want to be you today.
OccupationaI hazard. WeII open the cafe.
You or your men want coffee, a hot breakfast,
- its on the house. - Thanks.
ItII take us a little while to wrap this up,
but III let the boys know.
Were gonna need to open a lane here for traffic.
False alarm.
Yeah. I didnt know you were in this early.
Are you kidding?
Have you seen my schedule for today?
Hey, PauI.
What the hecks going on here?
Theres a hook and ladder keeping me
from my first cup of coffee and crosswords.
Dont you have a home, John?
Well, this is my home, you know that.
Retirement doesnt suit you, does it?
No, sir.
This is not the muscle tone of a retired man.
If it were up to me, John, youd still be
in uniform, still at that door.
Oh, thats great. Hold it.
Okay, one more.
Everybody smile.
Thank you.
You guys can put out my fire anytime.
And how are you, my baby?
Were gonna go back up to bed, aren´tt we?
Ladies and gentlemen,
if I may have your attention, please, ladies and gentlemen.
We are very sorry.
This has been a false alarm.
Yes. Uh...
you are free to return to your rooms at this time
or join us in one of our cafes for a complimentary breakfast.
And once again, on behalf of the...
Jack?
Welcome to Los Angeles.
Sir.
The polls are open in South Dakota, fellas.
Lets go.
How long has it been since youve slept?
We bring home California,
weII all sleep a hell of a lot better.
Timmons.
Damn it. Damn it.
- Good morning, my brown brother. - Hey.
You know youre working a double, right?
How come everybody knows but me?
And thats the third time this week.
For once, Id like to be asked, ´´´HHey, Jose,
would you mind working a double shift today?´
- ThatII never happen. - Why not?
Because youre Mexican, that´ss why.
Im Latino.
Latino?
Jose, youre a fuckin´ Mexican, okay?
Call yourself what you will;
youre no different than the rest of us.
If you dont like the double shift,
theres a hundred guys
out there on the other side of that door
thatII take your place like this.
And if it makes you feeI any better...
Im working a double shift, too, so...
weII both be here untiI midnight.
I got tickets to see Drysdale pitch
against Pittsburgh tonight.
- Is that right? - Hes on a streak.
You know?
Field leveI.
These are good tickets.
I was gonna take my dad.
Hes never been to a game.
Well, he aint going to one tonight.
So, if I were you, Id sell those tickets.
I can help you with that.
Son of a bitch.
Timmons, he doesnt show me the decency of the respect.
- Yeah, you know why? - Why?
Because youre Mexican.
And a busboy.
Hey, were the new niggers, brother.
Get used to it.
Shit.
´LLatino. ´´´
Well...
I missed all the excitement, I see.
Oh, its not much to speak of.
Well, its the Ambassador HoteI.
People coming, people going.
Nothing ever happens.
Grand Hotel.
What about it?
Its a line from the old Greta Garbo movie, Grand Hotel.
Okay, John.
Ever seen Grand Hotel, Henry?
- No, I havent, Mr. Casey. - No, of course you didn´tt.
I have seen Bonnie and Clyde, though.
Ah, thats a good film.
Have you seen Bonnie and Clyde, Nelson?
I saw it with you.
Thank you, Henry. Have a good day.
Thank you, Mr. Casey.
You know, I stood at that door from the first day
the Ambassador opened back in 1921,
and I greeted everyone: FDR, Truman, Eisenhower,
Jack Kennedy, Johnson, Premier Khrushchev,
the Shah of Iran, King of Sweden, all of them.
Madame Chiang Kai-Shek- she rented the entire fifth floor.
I personally delivered the OrientaI furniture to her suite.
It was antiques, mostly.
Oh, yes, and one night, I, uh,
I caught Will Rogers having a pee.
He was taking a piss in the greenhouse.
He tried to convince me it was good for the plants.
He said, ´GGood for the shrubbery, boy. ´´´
I said, ´DDon´tt do it again, sir. ´´´
And I also danced at the Grove when I was off duty
with, uh, Barbara Stanwyck, believe it or not,
and Dolores deI Rio and Rita Hayworth.
I was quite a dancer.
She was a beautifuI woman, mind you.
And I heard Bing Crosby sing at the Grove, too.
Yeah, and Sinatra, too, of course, and Rudy Vallee.
Sophie Tucker, Ruby Keeler.
Yeah, and Cab Calloway, I think.
Yes, sir. All good things in this hoteI.
Yeah.
Can I see the sports section?
People say Im the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two...
Her boobs. I read about it somewhere.
Anne Bancroft is not
gonna show her breasts in a film.
Shes a good-looking lady, Coop.
Im not saying she´ss not a good-looking lady.
Oh, like you wouldnt, if you had the chance?
Anne Bancroft has too much class to show her breasts in a film.
Thats it. That´ss the facts.
Its not just a film, Coop.
Its The Graduate.
Mm, I love that movie.
- More coffee? - Yes, please.
Okay, so I have a question for you.
What do you think, Bancroft or body double?
- The nude scenes? - Mm-hmm.
Flashes. Theyre not even scenes.
Body double. For sure.
Wait. You know this for a fact?
Well, no, but its what I would do.
That is, if I ever actually got hired
- for a movie I auditioned for. - You will. You will.
Plus, youre my favorite ingenue.
And you got a great smile, and youre nice to us,
and you know how to pour coffee so well.
You know what? He actually thinks
he knows what hes doing with that thing.
I do know what Im doing with this thing.
- No, you dont. - You look like a movie star.
Really? Who put it on 13 frames?
- There you go. - Well, say a prayer for me,
cause tomorrow I´mm interviewing for Schwab´ss.
Oh, wow, good for you.
Schwabs, is that a director or producer or something?
No, moron, Schwabs on Sunset.
Lana Turner was discovered there.
Oh, Schwabs.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, every
out-of-work actress in Hollywood is trying
to get a gig there waiting the lunch counter.
- Well, good luck. - Thank you.
Hey, I guarantee you, if Hitchcock asked her
to show her tits in a film, shed do it in a heartbeat.
DaryI.
III call you back.
I do everything I can to make sure that
the employees of this hoteI are treated equally and fairly.
Im getting complaints that you´rre not allowing
the kitchen staff off work to vote today.
Were understaffed this week.
Ive got six workers with the flu.
Ive had to deny sick leave, too.
Did you tell them they couldnt leave?
This is no small thing were doing tonight.
I need every staffer with a pulse on duty.
Did you tell them that they couldnt leave to vote?
Theyre not gonna vote.
Half of them are illegaI; they cant vote.
Why give them the time off
for something they cant do anyway?
YouII post a memo informing all employees of their right
to vote.
They cant put two words of English together.
Put up a memo in English and in Spanish
informing all employees of their right to vote
and allowing them the privilege to do so.
Additionally, you will inform them that they will be paid
for their time off for this privilege.
And...
because Im an equaI-opportunity kind of guy,
youve got till the end of the week
to clear out your desk and leave.
Youre fired, DaryI.
Good morning. Ambassador HoteI. How may I direct your call?
Please hold.
Good morning. Ambassador HoteI.
How may I connect your call?
Please hold.
One moment, please.
Good morning. Ambassador HoteI.
How may I direct your call?
Im sorry, but I can´tt give out that information.
Please hold for the reservation desk.
Its the policy of the hoteI.
Yes, it is.
Well, if you are his wife, then you should have
his room number, now, shouldnt you?
What a bitch.
Husbands playing around,
and she wants to take it out on me.
No, no, no. Not today.
No, thank you.
- Speaking of... - Dont start.
Ambassador HoteI. How may I direct your call?
Its gonna bring you nothing but trouble,
Angela, you dont end that.
Hey, do you have plans tonight?
Yeah. I got a hot date with my Magnavox.
Do you want to go to the party with me?
For Kennedy?
I didnt think employees were allowed at hoteI functions.
Well, screwing the boss does have its advantages.
Oh, God.
Look, I know it aint easy.
I know its damn near impossible to find a good man out there.
Seems like all the good ones are taken.
But a married one?
Im not good at being alone.
You stay with a married man who aint gonna leave his wife,
and youre looking at a lifetime of being alone.
Honey, dont kid yourself.
Ambassador HoteI. How may I connect you?
KENNEDY America was a great force in the world
with immense prestige
long before we became a great military power.
And that power has come to us, and we cannot renounce it.
But neither can we afford to forget
that the reaI constructive force in this world
comes not from tanks or not from bombs
but from the imaginative ideas, the warm sympathies
and the generous spirit of a people.
One thing is clear in this year of 1968,
I believe, in this country as Ive traveled across,
and that is that the American people want no more Vietnam.
California can make the difference.
Test one, two. Test one, two.
Miss, uh, Jan... Jana...
Janacek.
Yes. Perhaps I need to remind you, Miss, uh...?
- Janacek. - Exactly.
That there is a law against loitering.
Ive been in this lobby for the past two days
waiting for my interview with Senator Kennedy.
Miss...
there are no rooms available at the hoteI,
and no records of your credentials
with regards to the senators press corps.
What does this look like?
I write for an internationaI publication.
Rude Pravo.
Well, its not exactly the Washington Post, now, is it?
I was born in Little Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand
I wore high-top shoes and shirttails
- Suzy was in pigtails... Excuse me.
Hi, um, I have an appointment for a manicure-pedicure.
Oh.
Yup. And you are...
our lovely bride-to-be.
Yes, maam.
Well, let me see em.
Excuse me?
Oh.
Oh...
You know hes gonna break it tonight, man.
What?
Drysdale, consecutive shutouts, its gonna happen tonight.
Yeah, maybe.
You dont know how important this is, MigueI.
Jose, its one baseball game.
You can buy tickets to another night.
What?!
No, no, no, no. Its not just a game, okay?
Don Drysdale has pitched five consecutive shutouts.
Thats a record that has stood since 1904
by Doc White of the Chicago White Sox.
Hes gonna break it tonight, man.
I know he is.
Who, Drysdale?
Yeah.
You got money on the game, Jose?
No, Im-I´mm just a fan.
Well, then, go Dodgers.
Yeah.
I need to see you in my office.
Im supposed to tell the staff
to go to their polling place today and vote.
Im not old enough to vote.
Im a felon.
Youre a felon?
Nah, Im just kidding, brother.
Course I´mm gonna vote today.
A- one, a-two, a-one, two...
Now, listen, a lot of people,
a lot of people are gonna be intimidated
by this thing because its new, all right?
So Im counting on all of you
to reassure them that its perfectly legitimate,
its easy...
Just-just for one minute, please.
Its easy, and it makes voting simpler and quicker, all right?
All you have to do is turn the plastic pages.
Names and offices appear on the left.
Simply make your choice and push down firmly in the proper place
with the steeI stylus attached to the vote recorder.
All right? Now, when youre finished with that,
take out the paper ballot.
And I want you all to check, check the back of it,
all right, to make sure that there are no stray bits
of punched-out paper called ´ccard-hole-aggregate debris. ´´´
Or what the, uh, what the folks
down at IBM like to call ´cchads. ´´´
If Id have worked this hard in schooI,
Id be on the honor roll.
Hey, you think your brother will loan us his car again?
Ah, I dont know.
He was cooI with it the first couple times,
but now, I dont know.
I cant do another day on this awfuI bus, Coop.
- Me neither. - I hate it.
Maybe if I was stoned.
Well, yeah, stoned would be good whether were on the bus or not.
- Fellas. - Wade. -Wade.
You guys are on the Glendale-Pasadena bus today.
Well, no, uh, we were actually
gonna come over here to tell you,
we got a car today, Wade.
Uh, Coops brother comes through again.
Really?
Um, just think of the number of elderly
we can help get to the polls with a car.
I think were much more valuable on our own.
Yeah.
Well, thats great.
Maybe you can persuade them to go along with you.
Every little bit counts, right?
Uh, what precincts are you guys covering?
Actually, Dwayne and I wont be in the field today.
Were gonna stay here at campaign headquarters.
That way, we can take care of any problems that come up.
Yeah, we already received a call
about stolen voting machines down in Precinct 180.
Im not familiar with that area.
Its a black neighborhood.
Oh, is it?
Yeah, I guess busing
doesnt really agree with you fellas, huh?
I guess we got more in common than you think.
Good luck.
Ladies and gentlemen, if we could get...
Now all we have to do is actually get a car.
Well, first things first.
First things first.
Mr. Buckley.
Please, Mr. Buckley.
Mr. Buckley, please.
Yes, Miss...?
- Janacek. - Yes, Miss Janacek.
You told me on Sunday that I would have my interview
with Senator Kennedy, but no interview.
Then you said Monday. Monday, no interview.
Five minutes, Mr. Buckley, thats all I´mm asking...
Miss Janacek, I believe I also told you
that you have to call his press secretary.
I left 20 messages for Mr. Mankiewicz.
Well, perhaps youd like to join the volunteers today,
hop on one of the buses.
The only thing I want is five minutes
with Senator Kennedy.
Does he have any idea whats happening
in Czechoslovakia right now?
The censorship law has been repealed.
The people are energized.
Bobby Kennedy is an inspiration to the Czech people.
Miss Janacek, you are a Communist writer
for a Communist paper in a country
that is an ally of the Soviet Union.
I mean... do you have any idea
how that would look for the senator?
´BBe informed. ´´´
´llnformados importante. ´´´<
´llnformados...
importante. ´<
´llmportante. ´´´<
Its almost like you just add an ´´´EE´´´
to the end of every English word. Huh.
Almost.
All right, lets keep going here.
´EEmployees must be informed of their right to vote. ´´´
´LLos empleados deben estar
informados de derecho de votar. ´<
I might need some help spelling that.
L- O-S...
Love or money?
Pardon me?
The reason youre getting married.
Love or money?
Im saving a life,
marrying a boy from my schooI.
Theres a lot of that going on these days.
The government sends a check to the spouse for $135 a month.
Mm.
Its definitely not for money.
Well, I married for love.
He was
the most handsome man I had ever seen.
He looked like a movie star.
He could have had any woman he wanted, and he picked me.
You picked him, too.
Yeah.
Suppose I did.
What color is your dress?
Lavender.
Maybe a bit lighter.
We have polish to match that, if you like.
Sure.
Yeah?
Big wedding?
No.
No, my father refuses to go.
He calls the shots.
My fathers a veteran.
Uh, he thinks William, my groom,
should take whatever tour they give him.
You see, if hes married, he goes to Germany.
If not, then, um,
hes more likely to go straight to the front lines.
My father thinks hes a coward.
What do you think?
You know, more and more
young men keep coming back in body bags.
Two last week from my graduating class.
And if I couldve married them
and kept them from getting killed, then I wouldve.
So, untiI someone in charge tells me
why it is that were over there,
then...
I dont know.
You are gonna be the prettiest
June bride in this hoteI today, dear.
English and Spanish.
Great.
Ive given six years of my life to this place.
It means everything to me.
III give you a fine recommendation.
Youre not gonna have any problems finding another job.
I dont want another goddamn job, PauI.
Hello.
I dont know if I have
that portfolio with me.
You know, were three hours behind you.
Say again.
No, Im saying
were three hours in time behind New York.
I cant say for sure.
Oh, damn.
What is it?
Its nothing.
- What is...? - Its stupid.
No, no, Im listening.
You know those black shoes?
What?
I told you it was stupid.
Let me call you back.
I bought this dress to go with
the black shoes I forgot to pack.
I did pack six other pair, none of them black.
And I have two pair of tennis shoes,
so if youre up for a little game later...
You see, women have to pack for every occasion,
making it virtually impossible to traveI light.
Like tonight, its a formaI event,
so I brought formalwear.
But... God has a sense of humor.
So I... I bring backup.
However, Im doubly screwed.
Two dresses, both black, and no black shoes.
I know youre probably thinking,
´WWho the hell cares what color shoes she´ss wearing?´´´
Believe me, Jack, women notice.
So, basically, youre saying you need to go shopping.
For shoes.
Black shoes.
At least I dont have to get up
three times a night to go have a pee.
Well, at least I get out of bed to have one.
Checkmate.
See, when you make a move out of frustration or anger,
it always ends in catastrophe.
Ah, to beat you just once, Casey.
Id like to die knowing that I´vve beaten you just once.
Its all I pray for, Lord.
Keep praying.
Hey, PauI.
Gentlemen.
Would you like to replace an elderly gentleman
while he goes off to take his afternoon nap?
Nelson, if I may-
you could have held your rook in reserve,
given up one of your pawns
and turned this game back around in your favor.
Now you tell me.
Hey, Mr. Fallon.
Hey, puppy, come here.
BeautifuI girI.
Come here.
Shes a beautifuI little thing. Oh, yeah.
Hows your wife?
Shes perfect.
- Were a sold-out show tonight. - Yeah?
You and Mrs. Fallon getting
everything you need from my staff?
We are, PauI, thank you.
Jefferson once said about the United States
that we were the last best hope for mankind.
Thats what I want the United States to be.
This is a generous and compassionate country.
Thats what I want this country to stand for.
Not violence, not lawlessness, not disorder,
but compassion and love and peace.
Thats what this country should stand for.
And thats what I intend to do, if I´mm elected president.
´AAnd that´ss what I intend to do if I´mm elected president. ´´´
Could fill spoons full of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love...
- Hey. - Hey.
Will satisfy my souI
Yes?
We were here yesterday.
Some of them cries about it
Some of them cries...
Yes?
We...
We purchased some, uh...
Goods.
...goods from you yesterday.
A- fightin about the spoonfuI.
Floor?
Um... four.
Mm. Thats where I´mm going.
I know you, right?
You, uh, you work here, dont you?
Uh, switchboard.
And you?
Kitchen. Food and beverage.
Huh. Thats got to beat the pants off
of sitting at the switchboard all day.
Not that Im complaining.
Its just got to be more stimulating than:
´GGood morning. Ambassador HoteI.
How may I direct your call?´
Grass is always greener.
Your job certainly sounds more exciting than mine.
Well, be my guest.
Today, our brilliant generaI manager wants me to let
all the wetbacks know they can have time off to go vote.
After you.
See you around.
Sure.
Mm...
Anybody see you?
No.
What are you fellas looking for?
We just wanted to get another joint from you. Um...
Well, what are you... looking for?
Uh...
Oh, thats my camera.
Uh...
Just what I said, just another joint.
No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
- Oh, okay. - No.
- Maybe we should split, man...
We could come back tomorr...
What are you looking for?
Um...
I dont...
I dont understand.
You dont understand
because youre not listening to the words.
Youre not listening to the words
in the question, my friend.
Well... if we could just get our, uh, the joint...
- Okay, why, why? - then we could I...
Why?
Why...?
Why do you want a joint?
Why do I want a joint?
- To-to get stoned, man. - To get stoned.
Whats with all your questions?
- Um... - Okay, okay, okay.
Now...
why do you want to get stoned?
We want to get stoned because it feels good, man.
Because it feels good?
Bingo! Because it feels good.
Right.
You want to get stoned because it feels good!
- Right?! Right! - Right.
- Wrong!
W- What?
Wh... Wr... Why is that wrong?
Because its a cop-out, man.
Okay, then can you explain to us why, for what other reason
than the fact that it feels good do we want to get stoned, man?
Because...
its our way...
of getting closer...
to God.
And that is what youre looking for.
Except for you didnt know it...
Yeah.
...untiI this moment.
I had no idea.
Well, I knew.
Thank God for me, huh?
Absolutely.
So, if we could just get the joint and...
Are you fellas familiar with Iysergic acid diethylamide?
Every stitch
Youve got to pick up
Every stitch, yeah
Beatniks are out to make it rich...
Hey.
William.
I couldnt sleep last night
and I had to get out of the house.
My folks are driving me nuts.
You gonna invite me in?
Of course.
That dress looks great on you.
You know its bad luck.
What is?
Well, for the groom to see the bride in her dress
before the wedding.
Oh. Is that better?
You silly.
Any chance of getting this in earlier?
9:00.
Seems late for a wedding.
ChapeI sure is busy for a Tuesday.
Its summertime- June brides.
You didnt have to get me this room, by the way.
My brother...
my family really appreciates what youre doing, Diane.
It means a lot to all of us.
To me.
You know, I always thought my wedding would be
the most exciting day of my life.
Every little girIs fantasy.
A white dress, cake taller than me,
hundreds of guests.
Its just a certificate, Diane.
You can still have all of that.
Yeah.
If marrying you tonight keeps you from going to Vietnam,
then its worth it.
Yeah.
Chefs SpeciaI, Edward?
MigueI, you know if I could, I would.
Bullshit, man.
I see you serving the brothers the good stuff.
White folks, too.
You dont see them eating this dog food.
Lord, today.
Do we have to do this every day, MigueI?
Every day you keep putting the brown man down, Edward.
Keeping the brown man down.
Im putting the brown man down.
Thats right. Let´ss keep the brown man down.
Lets send the brown man back across the border
to his sweet senoritas and his refried beans.
First of all, we didnt cross the border.
The border crossed us.
And our senoritas are better than
your fried-chicken-eating mama with the big backyard.
Hey, you smell that?
Look at that- my very own
speciaI berry cobbler, fresh out of the oven.
But since you had to put my mama in it, excuse me.
Here you go, Jose, enjoy.
Come on, man.
´CCome on, man. ´´´
You Mexican boys cant play the dozens.
I dont know why you keep on, MigueI.
Yeah, man.
Man, what do you know about the dozens?
I know that I got some cobbler and you dont.
Youre a sellout, man.
- You know. - Hey.
Its good, ain´tt it, Jose?
Mm-hmm.
That recipe was handed down by my great-grandmother.
Mm...
Hey, let me have some of that. Come on, brother.
We aint brothers, amigo.
And we aint amigos, ´´´bbruh-thuh. ´´´
Go ahead.
- You, um... - Mm...
You working a double shift like the rest of us?
I most certainly am not.
You must be the only one.
Yeah, and you know why.
Why?
Too good-looking for that mess.
You aint working a double
cause whitey´ss afraid of your black ass, man.
Theyre afraid you´rre gonna go
all Huey Newton on them, all violent.
See, they aint afraid of us yet, Jose.
Not yet, man, but one day, one day they will be, man.
Were gonna get the respect that we deserve.
Were gonna take back California,
take back our land, man.
I want you to park that anger in my kitchen, young man.
I want you to get your hand off my shoulder, Negro.
All right, keep it up.
See, the first few times, I tried to make this dessert,
couldnt get it right.
Too much sugar one time, not enough sugar the next time,
couldnt find the balance.
I realized I was forcing it.
You know, trying to make it taste
like my mamas or her mama´ss.
Mine didnt have any poetry, didn´tt have any light.
And then I realized I was trying to force it
to taste like my mothers, taste like her mother´ss.
Mm-hmm.
See, it had to be Edwards creation.
Mm-hmm.
It had to come from me.
Now, you, MigueI, youve got... shit to offer.
Youve got no poetry. You´vve got no light.
Youve got no one looking at you and saying,
´DDamn.
´LLook at that MigueI.
I want some of what hes got. ´´´
All you got is your anger.
I aint angry.
Im sorry, I didn´tt hear you.
- Come on. Speak up... - I said Im not angry!
All right.
You know, I used to be just like you.
I had anger.
And then, after Dr. King was killed...
...well, anger like you cant even imagine.
White folks aint trying to keep you down, MigueI.
White folks just dont like to be pushed into a corner.
TheyII come around.
You just got to make it look like it was their idea,
like theyre the ones that thought of it.
They need to feeI like theyre the great emancipators.
Like it was theirs to give in the first place.
Let em have it.
I mean, if thats all it takes, let them have it.
Can you dig it?
I know my man Jose can dig it, cant you?
Yeah.
Hmm.
Edward.
Is that your famous cobbler Im smelling down in my office?
Yes, sir, Mr. Timmons.
I just pulled a fresh batch out of the oven.
III make sure some gets to your office
directly, sir.
´II´III get some sent to your office directly, sir. ´´´
Step-and-fetch-it motherfucker.
Hey.
Im not working a double shift today, though, am I... amigo?
Histories of ages past
LSD was first discovered in 1938.
Down through all eternity
She can be beautifuI.
She can be terrifying.
Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
The difference between a good trip and a bad trip
is completely contingent upon your willingness to let go.
Comes singing songs
Turn yourself over to her completely.
Of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy, he sang
Are you ready to have
a personaI relationship with God?
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy
Very well. Open.
Under the tongue.
Gurdy, gurdy he sang
You figure out what to do with those Dodger tickets?
I know a few guys might like to buy them.
Im not selling them, MigueI.
How many times I got to tell you that?
Hey, whats the face value?
I dont know... $4.50 apiece.
$4.50? I can get you ten bucks easy.
Im not selling them.
I want this whole place filled with balloons.
I want people having to fight their way through the balloons
just to get in here.
Balloons dont translate into more votes, Wade.
But they look better on TV.
McCarthys not going to want to give
a concession speech after the big win in Oregon.
Theyre gonna turn those cameras on
before the polls close, so we got to look
like we got the thing already won.
It sends a stronger message.
Why are we still standing here? Lets go!
Dwayne, we need you upstairs right away.
Come on, boy, see about me
Socialist.
Whats that?
You said I write
for a Communist paper in a Communist country.
Its a Socialist paper
in a Socialist country.
Red is red, Miss Janacek.
The reforms in my country
are working to put a human face on Socialism.
See the room were standing in right now?
In a few hours, its going to be filled
with hundreds of people who are here
either to celebrate a victory or lament a defeat
because of something that we have in America
called the democratic process.
Now, if you can tell me the last time that happened
in your country, III give you your five minutes
with the senator.
Im gonna keep sighing, baby, for you
Damn right Im threatening you!
Were not just talking about a few stolen
voting machines this time!
Do we understand each other?!
Damn it.
What is it?
Theres a police checkpoint
outside of a polling place in Watts.
The systems not working for us... again.
I was watching the locaI news yesterday...
...and what-what I saw happen on that motorcade
just gave me hope.
I mean, its Negroes and Mexicans
by the tens of thousands just leaping in front of his car,
tearing at his clothes, ripping at his shoes.
They loved him.
Now that Dr. King is gone... no one left but Bobby.
No one.
And how did it seem to you
when the senator came through Prestonsburg?
Oh, it, uh, its one
of the greatest days weve ever had in this town...
especially the young people.
Theyre all crazy about him.
Do you feel any differently after seeing him?
I feel a little prouder being an American.
Did you get to see the senator?.
Yes, sir, I did.
How did you feeI about it?
Whew. I was very pleased.
Id just loved to have got to laid my hand on him.
Senator, youve just about completed
the second day now.
Is there anything significant
that youve learned on this trip?
Well, people, uh, are still having
a very, very difficult time.
There is hunger, considerable hunger
in this part of the country.
Theres no reaI hope for the future
amongst many of these people who, uh, worked hard
in the coaI mines, and now that the coaI mines shut down,
uh, they have no place to go.
Theres no hope for the future.
Theres no industry moving in.
The men are trained in government programs
and theres no jobs at the end of the training program
because of the cutback,
because of the demands on our federal budget
in Washington and the war in Vietnam there...
even these training programs are being cut back,
and so people are being cut off and they have no place to turn,
and so theyre, uh, desperate and...
and filled with despair.
It seems to me that, uh, this country,
as wealthy as we are, that this is an intolerable condition
that reflects on all of us.
We can do things all over the rest of the world,
but I think we should do something for our people here
in our own country.
Its over.
You okay?
You want to talk about it?
Not really.
Sometimes it helps.
Not right now, not this time.
Good afternoon. Ambassador HoteI.
How may I direct your call?
Connecting to his room, sir.
Have a nice day.
Good afternoon. Ambassador HoteI.
How may I direct your call?
Please hold.
Come on, girI. Come on.
Its our summer clearance sale.
Everything must go! Everything!
That shit, this shit for... this shit, for sure.
Hey, man, its okay.
I want you to look at me.
I am.
Through my eyes.
No.
This is painfuI.
Shut up.
You shut up.
No, you shut up.
See, it comes and it goes.
I cant see.
Okay.
What were you saying?
L- B-J took the I-R-T
Down to 4th Street U-S-A
When he got there
What did he see?
The youth of America
On L-S-D
L- B-J
I- R-T
U- S-A
L- S-D, L-S-D
L- B-J
F- B-I
C- I-A
F- B-I, C-I-A
L- S-D
L- B-J.
Hi.
I realized I hadnt prayed in a long time.
Thought it might be a good idea, you know?
Well, what are we praying for?
I suppose, whatever you like:
world peace, sick grandparent, better job.
Do you really believe that our prayers get answered?
Some do.
I prayed for my brother to come back from Vietnam in one piece,
and he did.
I guess when a prayer is answered,
its called a miracle.
Well, in that case, Im going to pray
that my mother and father show up tonight.
Now, that would be a miracle.
Mm-hmm.
I remember you saying something
something about a friendly game, John.
Yeah, well, I think that, uh, chess is a little bit like life.
It scares people, intimidates them,
and thats why they invented checkers.
Hm.
Youre still in check.
Story of my life.
What exactly is that story, sir?
Well, its not what you read in the gossip mags,
thats for sure.
Mm. Well, Im glad of that, then.
I mean, we have our moments,
like any married couple, but, you know...
Mm-hmm.
But you stay, huh?
ReaI men stay.
They-they fight the good fight. They dont leave.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Your wife?
Oh, shes gone.
She died last year.
Any regrets?
Well, I suppose I couldve spent more time with my kids.
Ive got three of them and eight grandchildren,
and, um...
I suppose I missed out quite a bit,
being here all the time, working here,
I mean.
You know, it has to be said,
in those days, your job was your life
because your-your life depended on it.
I remember my wife said to me once,
she said, ´YYou know, John, I think you-you love that hoteI
more than you love me. ´
Perhaps she was right.
And youre still in check.
Forever and ever
Theres a kind of hush
Oh, hi.
All over the world
- Tonight - I think, after five years,
the entire staff knows were married, PauI.
- Of lovers in love - I guess.
So it would probably be safe to steaI a little kiss
now and then.
And you have to eat lunch more than once every two weeks.
Salad?
Is that all I get?
Yes.
Well, you had a heck of a morning.
Which you slept through.
Hey! My name tag does not say ´mmanager´´´ on it.
Hey, III switch with you.
III be the stylist of the stars.
Oh!
And you can start with Virginia Fallon.
- It isnt a dream - Okay.
- So sad... - The only sound
- That woman. - That you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
- Tonights her last show. - I love you...
Shes not booked here at the Grove untiI next fall.
Can we go on vacation that week?
Hey, did you vote?
I tried, but the line was too long.
Ive got some, um...
its ´´´yyes´´´ on Proposition 1.
Thats the Veterans´ Bond Act.
´NNo´´´ on 2.
Mills for supervisor, not Hahn.
Cranston, Sheinbaum.
Of course Bobby.
Also, on the, um...
What?
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la...
What? What is it?
Your hair, your suit...
you know, it might say 1968,
but your attitude is pure 1920.
Well, look, if they dont close the deaI
by the end of the day, then were out...
Uh, he just came in.
Aw, youre the best.
Thank you.
Good afternoon, Mr. Fallon.
Afternoon, Mario.
Tim, did you know
that Marios family´ss from Portofino?
We spent two weeks there last summer.
Tim simply adores it.
He adores...
I had to drag him off the beaches
to go to work.
Can I get you anything else, Mrs. Fallon?
No, were fine, Mario. Thank you.
Oh, Tim, can you give Mario...?
Very well. Have a nice night
and a wonderfuI show, Mrs. Fallon.
Thank you, Mario.
Hello, Tim.
PhiI.
Virginia woke up, couldnt find you.
We were nervous.
We were, huh?
PhiI has lots to tell you about Vegas next month, baby.
- Thats right. - Oh, yeah?
Has it changed since the last time we were there?
Lots of hotels and casinos
in the middle of the desert, as I remember it.
What, they get rid of gambling?
We booked the Flamingo, Tim.
Four weeks in July!
I booked the Flamingo.
Guys, four weeks in Vegas in the middle of summer?
Thats not a booking. That´ss a sentence, PhiI.
Tim, come on.
No, no, no, you come on.
Who the hell wants to spend four weeks in Vegas in July?
III tell you who: nobody.
What happened to that picture that you promised us?
Things are slow at the studios, Tim.
The Vegas deaI is a good deaI.
Good for who?
Tim, give it a rest.
Its not like you have to perform.
What the hell is this, Virginia?
Well, from the looks of it,
a very fine single malt Scotch, Tim.
Thought we had an agreement.
I havent had a drink all day.
Youve been sleeping all day.
Tim, there is a time and a place...
Hey, you know, believe it or not, Virginia,
people do eat food every now and again.
Take your fucking judgment and check it at the door.
I dont need you to babysit.
You dont want to go to Vegas?
Its too hot?
Well, then, get out.
Im the reason we have all this, not you.
- Nobodys saying that you... - PhiI, shut the fuck up!
People come to see me.
People love me.
They love me.
So if I want to have one fucking drink,
Im going to have one fucking drink,
because I deserve it.
Thats the new agreement, sweetheart.
You have a 5:00 hair appointment.
Youre on stage at 9:00 sharp.
YouII have a 45-minute break,
then youre introducing Senator Kennedy in the Embassy Ballroom.
Try and stay sober enough
to not embarrass us in front of the next president.
Ive heard a rumor that someone´ss trying to unload
tickets for tonights Dodgers game.
Its Drysdale´ss night.
Tell me about it.
Six consecutive.
Hes gonna do it tonight.
Not since 1904- 64 years.
Yeah, I know.
Theyre yours, man.
But we havent discussed a price.
There is no price.
Enjoy the game.
You couldve just gone, Jose.
And tomorrow... then what?
I wouldve been out on the street looking for another job.
Thats you.
Little man...
thats you.
The story of King Arthur.
Knights of the Round Table, Merlin the magician.
You have heard of it, of course.
Yeah.
We read the stories in schooI.
Then you know that Arthur wasnt always a king.
He was a young man once, like you.
You, Jose, are a young king.
Kind, caring, humble.
Eager for adventure.
And so... I thank you, humbly,
for these tickets, my young brother, my young king.
A chivalrous act.
Chivalrous act, indeed.
Hey, Edward.
Hey, save a... save a ticket stub for me, okay?
You bet I will.
Go, Dodgers.
Yeah.
Go, Dodgers.
Ah...
Nice shot.
Its 40-love.
All right.
How come we only play tennis when we come to Los Angeles?
That was... that was...
Im s... Bring it in. We-We gotta discuss.
- Lets talk. Okay. - We gotta talk.
How long does this stuff last?
I dont know, man.
I am freakin out right now.
Me, too.
- Lets go. - Okay.
Play-Play tennis.
14-love.
Whats wrong?
Good.
Whats the matter, Nelson?
I dont know if it´ss because of my age
or that I simply cant remember.
I, uh... I keep losing track of things-
my keys, my cane, my socks.
I dont even know in what drawer I put my underwear.
I got lost on the way home today.
Thats never happened to me before.
No.
Well...
You know, perhaps its just a phase.
No.
This is no phase, Casey.
Its about growing old.
Old bones, old face, old man.
I hate it.
I hate retirement.
Yeah.
Makes me... feeI useless.
Yeah.
Hey, how bout a nice cup of tea?
Tea?
Yeah.
Tea is a drink for old white folks.
How bout a Scotch?
Well, a Scotch.
I dont know; could be arranged.
Make it a double.
On the rocks.
30% of the precincts in South Dakota
have McCarthy and Senator Kennedy in a dead heat.
...large gallery, including severaI FBI agents...
How long has it been since youve slept?
Im tellin´ you, man,
there better be some Cabinet positions in this for us.
I got dibs on Secretary of State.
Hey, you can have it.
I want something with a little lower profile.
Like Secretary of Transportation.
Sounds a little boring,
but if thats what you want, you can ask the man yourself.
Okay, I will.
He specifically asked to meet you.
He wants to thank you for all your help on the campaign.
Youre... kidding, right?
He sent word with the advance team.
He asked to meet you.
Yeah, youre okay.
Robert Kennedy and some people
who arent registered this year.
In ten years, these Americans will inherit
the problems we dont solve today.
Its suggested that, in the next severaI decades,
that people are gonna start having to wear gas masks
in New York City because, uh, the airs becoming so polluted.
750 pounds of refuse, uh, you breathe every year.
And the same thing is true, to a lesser degree, in cities
all across the United States.
That will spread to the ruraI areas, as well,
unless we stop it.
There are things we can do about automobiles;
there are laws that we can pass about, uh, dumping
and, uh, throwing refuse in lakes and streams,
and into the air.
Industry must do something, and then individuaI citizens.
And then the demand,
the interest that all of you might take in it.
And I think thats what´ss going to make
the difference in this country.
Mm. I look fat.
Youre not fat, I´mm fat.
Well, I feeI fat.
Maybe its your swimsuit.
So you do think I look fat.
I didnt say that.
Youre being passive-aggressive.
Please dont do that.
- Dont do what? - I mean it.
All that headshrinker gibberish.
I never thought you needed to be fixed in the first place.
It was your idea for me to go.
Because you were sad.
Its called depression, Sam.
Would you keep your voice down, please.
Its called depression.
I dont understand what you have to be depressed about.
What do you talk about in there, anyway?
Well, most of the time, my depression.
Is it me?
Samantha, sweetheart, no.
Its me.
Hows your personaI relationship with God comin´ along?
Its beautifuI.
You?
Me and the Big G are solid, my brother.
We have to get more of this stuff.
I know.
Planet of the Apes.
Planet of the Apes on acid would be cooI.
Look...
Im having trouble with...
Im not sure about this.
About what were doing.
William.
No, I-I cant help feeling
that Im taking something away from you.
Something sacred.
I mean, you should only get married once, like our parents.
Its not frivolous.
Its not disposable.
Look, Im okay with this.
Im okay with it in my heart and in my head.
And youre not taking anything away from me.
This is my choice, William.
Christ, Diane, I- I created a rift
between you and your father.
My father has a problem with you, not with me.
Well, that makes me feeI better.
Hes a stubborn man.
Well, look on the bright side...
be getting 135 bucks a month untiI the annulment.
What if I dont want an annulment?
What?
Tuesday
Afternoon
Im just beginning to see
Now Im on my way
I doesnt matter to me
Chasing the clouds away
Something
Excuse me, miss.
Calls to me
We do have 24-hour room service.
The trees are drawing me near
Ive got to find out why
So where are you from?
Czechoslovakia.
Those gentle voices I hear...
Thats near the Soviet Union, right?
Have you got a map?
This is a kitchen, not a library.
Man, when was the last time you had something to eat?
I dont remember.
Slow down.
Youre making me nervous.
Czechoslovakia, thats a, um...
Communist country, right?
Socialist.
Socialist, Communist.
I really dont know too much about that stuff.
Maybe you should pick up a newspaper sometime,
you wouldnt need a map to find Czechoslovakia.
Well, wherever it is...
I dont understand why you kill so many of your own people.
Really?
So, what do you think you are doing in Vietnam?
So, you want the same as last night,
or something a little speciaI for the senator?
Ah, you know, I dont care, as long as it stays out of my face.
Okay.
I have something in mind.
I suppose youre past getting nervous for a show.
You know, the only thing that I get nervous about...
is whether anybodys gonna show up or not.
Youre Virginia Fallon.
Of course theyII show.
Yeah, but, you know, Im getting older...
and...
people dont care about you as much when you get older.
Look at you. You look terrific.
Yeah.
But you know how they call women
´ttootsie´´´ or...
´ccupcake´´´??
Anyone ever call you ´TTwinkie´´´??
No.
Thats right.
And I guarantee you
no one will ever call you Twinkie.
You know why?
Because we dont have
the same shelf life as a Twinkie.
Were like melting...
ice cream cones.
You know what?
I was wondering, like, exactly, I was thinking,
´WWhen did I grow that flat spot on my ass?´´´
Very nice, fellas.
Hey, you want to sit in, Mr. Fallon?
No, no, no. I dont play anymore.
Come on, once a drummer... Come play some music with us.
- Come on up, Tim. - Come on, man. Go with it, man.
- Come on. Lets hear it. - Get up here.
What do the guys got up?
I think we have, uh, ´DDon´tt Jive Me Now. ´´´
I know that one.
All right!
A- one, two, three, four.
So you can listen to the game tonight.
Oh-ho...
MigueI.
Eh, just dont let Timmons catch you with it, all right?
Thank you.
Thank you, man.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
You know, I never could sing.
- Couldnt carry a tune. - Ah...
Not even a Christmas caroI.
Thats fantastic.
My husband was always trying to get me to sing.
Make a little joke.
Mm-hmm.
At my expense, I suppose.
You know, were all whores.
All of us.
Just some of us get paid.
Im sorry.
Its okay.
No, that wasnt very nice.
Thats fine.
Yeah.
Im a drunk.
Im an awfuI drunk.
I really am.
And Im an awfuI person sometimes.
And you seem like a really...
You seem like a really nice lady.
You know, youve been really nice to me, too.
You have, youve been really nice with me.
And Im sorry.
You dont deserve that.
Hey.
I try to do better.
I do. I try to do better, and...
somehow I just dont do better.
Tonights a big night. I´mm introducing the senator.
Tims very excited about that.
That Im introducing the senator.
Magic
- Moments... - I cant decide.
Those shoes are beautifuI, sir, and they fit her well.
Fine. III take those.
Do you want to put em on first, walk around a little bit?
You dont need to know how they feeI?
Its not about how they feeI, Jack, it´ss about how they look.
And they look fabulous.
Okay.
III ring ´eem up, sir.
FeeI Im going back
To Massachusetts
What have we done?
What do you mean?
What if Dwayne is right and Kennedy loses?
We can all forget it, man.
Im 19, Jimmy. I don´tt want to go to Vietnam.
Do you?
No.
I mean, cause we fucked off today, Jim.
You know, we fucked off.
We shouldve done what we were supposed to do.
Coop, its okay.
Its just two guys knocking on doors.
No, it isnt. McCarthy in New Hampshire
came within 230 votes of Johnson.
230 votes.
We couldve knocked on 230 doors today.
Ive knocked on well over a hundred by myself!
Okay. You know what, if it makes you feeI better,
we can go out, and the polls will be open for...
Its too late now. It´ss too goddamn late.
Yes, it is. Yes, it is.
We cant do anything anymore. It´ss too late!
I feeI like we should personally apologize to the man.
We should apologize for not doing our part.
What if we cost him the election, man?!
Calm down, man. Youre freakin´ me out.
- Hes fine. - I´mm sorry.
Im sorry.
Are you still high from the acid?
No.
Maybe a little.
We didnt order this.
You guys got to eat something.
Whys that?
...Place I have seen...
Is this the first time you two have turned on?
Oh, come on, fellas, your pupils are like saucers.
Wh-What do you know? Youre from Iowa.
Ohio.
What, you think Californias the only place people drop acid?
Was I that obvious?
Got to break her in.
Okay.
DaryI.
What can I do for you?
Kennedy says if he doesnt win California,
he will drop out of the race for president.
Oregon voters have given...
Jack?
What?
Do you think Im more Jackie or more EtheI?
What do you mean?
If you had to pick one,
who would I be more like, style-wise:
Jackie Bouvier or EtheI?
Are you serious?
Play along. And you have to pick one.
Samantha.
What?
When do you feeI like Samantha?
Oh, I dont know.
Oh, Jack, it was just a little game.
Come on, it was a game.
What?
Cant keep track.
Of what?
I cant keep track of you.
Im right here.
You are now.
Samantha.
Youre more than the shoes on your feet
or the designer dress on your back.
Youre more than the purse you carry
or the money inside.
You and I are more
than the stuff, more than the things in our lives.
Somewhere between our things and our stuff is us.
I dont want to lose us.
I dont want to lose us either.
Knock, knock, knock.
Hello.
So do you work here, young lady?
Well, somebody has to bring home the bacon.
Aha! You finally admit it.
I am underpaid and undervalued.
ANNOUNCER Gilliam even with the bag at third.
Parker doing a little housecleaning
down there at first base.
And Drysdale looks in to Haller.
Don into his windup, the pitch to Pena.
Bunt attempt is missed.
Oh and one.
Shit.
Larry Jackson on deck.
No balls and one strike, the count to Roberto Pena.
Don working quickly.
What inning?
...and the strike one pitch.
Breaking ball over the outside...
Bottom of the fourth.
No hits for Pittsburgh so far.
It took so long to come to this moment.
May 14: a rather uneventfuI one-to-nothing score.
May 18: a one-to-nothing score.
May 22: people started to talk; a two-to-nothing score.
May 26: they began to think about it seriously.
And theres a ground ball up along the first-base line, fouI.
Still oh and...
Did you fire DaryI Timmons today?
Yep. Hes a racist, among other things.
Whats she like, PauI?
Pardon me?
The woman that youre sleeping with.
Whats she like?
I dont know what you´rre talking about.
We dont do this.
Other people do this, PauI, but we dont do this.
You know, people tell me all the time
how... lucky I am to be married to you.
How wonderfuI you are.
And I agree.
I say, ´YYes...
´hhe´ss wonderfuI.
´YYes...
I am lucky. ´
Not because I have to.
Because I want to.
Cause you are wonderfuI.
And...
And so much more.
Youre...
Youre strong.
Youre a wonderfuI father to those kids.
Oh, God.
- Oh, whoa! - Whoa, whoa!
- Ebbers, you son of a bitch! - Come on.
- Put em up! - Calm down!
Stop it.
You dont have to wait till the end of the week!
I wasnt planning on it!
- All right. - All right.
Easy. Easy!
Calm down.
All right, back to work.
I wish I could stay.
No, you cherish the fact theres still someone at home
who worries about you and, uh, cares about you.
- Cheers for the Scotch. - Oh, good.
WeII do that more often.
Yeah.
Makes me feeI like I still have a pair.
Of course, our game is another matter.
Yeah, well, you know, perhaps tomorrow will be
more forgiving.
Youve always...
always beat me at chess, John,
- Yeah. - and you always will.
Thats why you play me.
Perhaps youre right.
And tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
Good night.
Sleep well.
Say hello to Dorothy.
Yes, I will.
Good night.
Evening, Mr. Casey.
Hey, Morris, how bout a coffee and a bite to eat in the cafe?
Ah, Ive-I´vve got cats to feed.
Dont you have a home to go to, John?
- See you tomorrow. - Good night.
- He stepped out. - Get a picture right there.
- I got it. I got it. - Hes there?
- Senator Kennedy? - Senator! Senator!
- Senator Kennedy, this way. - Please, stand back.
- Oh, thats him! - Hello, sir.
Nice to meet you.
Senator Kennedy.
Welcome to the Ambassador HoteI, sir.
Thank you very much.
- Senator, this way! - Please, right this way, sir!
Follow us, sir.
Right this way.
- Sir... - Senator, this way.
This is a CBS News speciaI report
on the California primary.
Here is Walter Cronkite.
Well, as we said a moment ago,
the count may be rather slow from California tonight.
The voting out there offers unusuaI complexities,
not only in the manner of counting this year
for the first time, but in the very process of balloting.
CBS News correspondent Mike Wallace, at our studios here,
can perhaps give us a little explanation
of that voting and the way its being tallied. Mike?
The actuaI, uh, vote tabulation, Walter,
is going to be extremely slow, tonight, in California.
A large part of the state,
including the 7,000 precincts in Los Angeles County
are using new automated voting equipment,
where the ballots are counted by computers.
Now, although on the face of it,
that would seem to indicate a faster count,
the fact is that the new voting system is going to be slower
in the count.

...who pitched his, uh, sixth straight shutout tonight.
And I hope that we have his good fortune in our campaign.
Hello darkness, my old friend
Ive come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
´FFools,´´´ said I, ´´´yyou do not know´´´
´SSilence, like a cancer, grows´´´
´HHear my words that I might teach you´´´
´TTake my arms that I might reach you´´´
But my words, like silent raindrops, fell...
What I think is quite clear
is that we can work together, in the last analysis,
and that what has been going on within the United States
over the period of the last three years-
the divisions, the violence, the disenchantment with our society,
the divisions, whether its between blacks and whites,
between the poor and the more affluent or between age groups
or on the war in Vietnam- that we can start to work together.
We are a great country, and a selfIess country,
and a compassionate country.
And I intend to make that my basis for running,
then, over the period of the next few months.
´TThe words of the prophets are written on the subway walls´´´
´AAnd tenement halls´´´
Bobby! Yeah!
So, uh, my thanks to all of you.
And now its on to Chicago and let´ss win there.
Thank you very much.
Whoo!
Its impossible to hear tonight.
Robert Kennedys victory is setting up a possible showdown
in the generaI election with Richard Nixon,
who his brother defeated eight years ago.
We want Bobby! We want Bobby! We want Bobby!
- Bobby! - Bobby!
Bobby!
We want Bobby. We want Bobby. We want Bobby.
- Hey, Bobby! - Bobby!
- Bobby! Bobby! - Where you going?
I wanna shake his hand.
You dont wanna shake his hand?
Bobby!
Senator, this way, through the kitchen.
Senator, follow me.
No, no, wait, Senator.
- Bobby! - Hey!
William! William! - Hey!
We want Bobby. We want Bobby. We want Bobby.
Please, right this way, sir.
Follow us, sir.
This way.
This way, through the kitchen.
Bobby! Bobby!
Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!
Bobby!
Bobby! Bobby!
Bobby!
- Bobby! - Bobby!
Kennedy, you son of a bitch.
Get the gun. Get the gun. Get the gun.
Stay away from the gun.
- Stay away from the gun. - Get a doctor!
Keep them out! Keep them out!
His hand is frozen.
Take ahold of his thumb and break it if you have to!
Get his thumb!
Excuse me. Excuse me!
Hold him! Hold him! Hold him!
Get a doctor for the senator!
We dont want another Oswald!
Senator!
Wade! Wade! Excuse me, Wade!
Excuse me! Sir, move!
Hes been shot! - What?! What?!
Excuse me.
Wade! What happened?
- Someone shot him! What?
Excuse me!
Excuse me! Im with...
Ladies and gentlemen, could I have your attention please?
Ladies and gentlemen, can I ask you please to be calm?
We need a doctor to come to the podium right now.
- Please, everybody... - Bobbys shot?
- Please, just be calm.
And if you can, please leave the ballroom.
We need a doctor to the podium right now!
Please. Is there a doctor in the house? We need you...
It is not a day for politics.
I have saved this one opportunity...
Ive been shot!
... my only event of today...
Ive been shot!
... to speak briefly to you
about the mindless menace of violence in America,
- which again stains our land - Can you help me?!
- and every one of our lives. - Can you help me? Please.
It is not the concern of any one race.
- Doctor! Anyone! - The victims of the violence
are black and white, rich and poor,
young and old, famous and unknown.
They are, most important of all, human beings
whom other human beings loved and needed.
- What happened, do you know? - Somebody said hes been shot.
No one, no matter where he lives
- or what he does... - Get a doctor, please!
... can be certain who next will suffer
from some senseless act of bloodshed.
And yet it goes on and on and on in this country of ours.
SUSAN Its okay. It´ss okay. Plea...!
Why? - YouII be okay.
What has violence ever accomplished?
What has it ever created?
Oh! Oh. Oh, my God!
Dear.
Help!
Whenever any Americans life
is taken by another American unnecessarily...
William, come on!
... whether it is done in the name of the law
or in defiance of the law, by one man or by a gang,
in cold blood or in passion...
Ive been shot.
... in an attack of violence
or in response to violence,
whenever we tear at the fabric of our lives
which another man has painfully and clumsily
woven for himself and his children,
whenever we do this, then the whole nation is degraded.
Yet we seemingly tolerate a rising level of violence
that ignores our common humanity
and our claims to civilization alike.
Hey, Donny, what the hecks going on?
Senator Kennedys been shot.
Too often, we honor swagger
and bluster and the wielders of force.
Too often, we excuse those
who are willing to build their own lives
on the shattered dreams of other human beings.
But this much is clear:
Violence breeds violence,
repression breeds retaliation,
and only a cleansing of our whole society
can remove this sickness from our souls.
For when you teach a man to hate and to fear his brother,
when you teach that he is a lesser man
because of his color or his beliefs
or the policies that he pursues...
... when you teach that those who differ from you
threaten your freedom or your job
or your home or your family,
then you also learn to confront others,
- All right, Captain... - not as fellow citizens,
but as enemies.
To be met not with cooperation, but with conquest.
To be subjugated and to be mastered.
We learn, at the last, to look at our brothers as aliens.
Alien men with whom we share a city, but not a community.
Men bound to us in common dwelling,
but not in a common effort.
...is impossible to believe...
We learn to share only a common fear,
only a common desire to retreat from each other.
Only a common impulse to meet disagreement with force.
JACK Im so sorry. I´mm so sorry, baby.
Youre gonna be okay. Do you hear me?
Youre gonna be okay, sweetie.
Our lives on this planet
- are too short. - Jimmy! Look at me.
- The work to be done - Cooper!
is too great to let this spirit flourish
any longer in this land of ours.
Of course, we cannot banish it with a program
nor with a resolution...
... but we can perhaps remember, if only for a time,
that those who live with us are our brothers,
that they share with us the same short moment of life,
that they seek, as do we,
nothing but the chance to live out their lives
in purpose and in happiness,
winning what satisfaction and fulfillment that they can.
Surely, this bond of common fate,
surely, this bond of common goals
can begin to teach us something.
Surely, we can learn, at the least,
to look around at those of us, of our fellow men,
and surely, we can begin to work a little harder
to bind up the wounds among us and to become, in our hearts,
brothers and countrymen once again.
My Lord
I have read this book
So many times
But nowhere can
Can I find
The page that says
What I experienced today
Has any grace
Now I know that life
Is meant to be hard
Thats how I learned
To appreciate my God
Though my courage
May be tried
I can tell you I wont hide
Because the footprints show
You are by my side
You can lie to a child with a smiling face
Tell me that color aint about race
You can cast the first stone
You can break my bones!
But youre never gonna break
Youre never gonna break my faith
And hope aint yours to give
Truth and liberty are mine to live
SteaI a crown from a king
Break an angeIs wings
But youre never gonna break
Youre never gonna break my faith
Mm-hmm.
My Lord...
Wont you help them, help them,
Help them to understand
That when someone takes the life of an innocent man
Whoo!
Well, they never really won
Because all theyve really done
Is set the souI free where its supposed to be
You can lie to a child
With a smiling face
Tell me that color aint about race
You can cast the first stone
You can break my bones, but you never ever
Never
Youre never gonna break my faith
And hope aint yours to give
No, no, no
Truth and liberty are mine to live
SteaI a crown from a king, break an angeIs wings
- But youre never ever ever - You´rre never gonna break
Youre never gonna break my faith
For those we lose before their time
I pray their souls will find the light
I know that the day will surely come
Whoa
Oh, when His will, His will will be done
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
- Oh, yeah - Yeah, yeah
Hey, ooh-oh
Oh, yeah, His will will be...
Youre never gonna break my faith
- Oh - Oh, yeah
- Ooh, yeah
His will, His will, His will, His will
Oh!
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah
Never gonna break my faith
Youre never gonna break my faith, never, never
III keep holding on, I´III keep holding on
Never, never, never, never
- Oh, hey - Never, never
Never, never, never, never never, never, never
Youre never gonna break my faith
Oh, oh, you aint gonna break my faith
Never, never.
