All language subtitles for 7th Heaven s09e05 Vote

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America,

and to the republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, with invisible

liberty and justice for all.

How was that?

Terrific. Close to being perfect. Only
it's indivisible.

Not invisible with liberty and justice
for all.

Are you sure?

What is indivisible?

The country can't be divided.

Well, the country is divided.

How so?

Some guys want that stupid man to be
president.

And some guys want that other stupid man
to be president.

Did you learn that at school?

No, we learned it at home.

Martin. No, it's on TV instead of
cartoons.

The two men running for president are
not stupid.

And it's not nice to call anyone stupid.
And we certainly all should have

respect for the current president as
well as for the men who's running

him for president.

The president has the responsibility for
leading this great nation of ours.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Is Ruthie ready for school?

Yeah.

I'm sure she'll be down. Look, I was
wondering if I could talk to you again

about the election.

I know there have been a couple of
problems at school where maybe you were

little overly enthusiastic in stating
your opinion, and I'm wondering if it's

not now spilling.

into our home.

When you're with the twins, I'm
wondering if you could talk more

about the basic freedoms that we enjoy
in this country, one of the most basic

being freedom to vote.

Sure.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I still haven't finished my homework.

Let's go.

What homework haven't you finished? Why
didn't you tell somebody you needed some

help? Because it's my homework and I'm
responsible for not doing it. Don't you

think that should be I'm responsible for
doing it?

When I was in high school, I was too
afraid to go to school without my

And back then it was blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah.

Okay. What did your dad just say to you?

I don't know.

What was he saying to you when I came
down?

I don't know.

Well, then it probably doesn't matter.

It's like I just blank out sometimes
when he's talking to me.

Mocking with the family.

Hey, good morning.

I'll drive you, boy. Cool.

Thanks.

Have you registered yet?

You haven't told anyone that I didn't
register yet, did you? No, but did you

not? I will. As soon as I drop off the
boys at school.

Well, look, Lucy, there's only one week
left to register, and this is your first

presidential election.

It's real important, especially since
you're voting as a woman and a mother

a wife, that you get registered, you get
informed, you know, you get to the

polls on election day.

Seven heavens, when I see their happy
faces, by letting back at me.

Seven heavens, I know there's no greater
feeling than the love of family.

Where can you go?

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Oh, please, he's an idiot.

Obviously, but so is the other one. I
mean, I don't even know why we're in

Yeah, why even bother?

You know, it's a free country. You can
say what you want, unlike Iraq.

Come on, Martin, we all know you're a
hawk, but what about the people that are

dying? The innocent people?

What about the innocent people who were
dying before we had anything to do with

it? Right on, dude.

I just don't want to see any more Iraqis
lose their lives.

I have family in Iraq.

They're very grateful to America. They
say now they have hope for their

children's future, something they didn't
have before.

Yeah, well, I've got relatives in Iraq,
and they still don't have electricity

where they are. So my dad's supposed to
what? Protect people and put a power

line?

Why should we be concerned with getting
anyone electricity?

Do you know how many people in
Appalachia can't pay their electric

don't have electricity?

You don't hear them whining.

And you don't see us doing anything to
help our own country.

So what does that mean? We should only
help people who live in America?

Yeah, that's exactly what it means.

You think what goes on in one part of
the world doesn't affect what goes on in

every part of the world? Absolutely.

So why isn't the U .S. stepping in to
protect Africa?

Why isn't the Sudan in the news every
day?

Innocent people are dying by the
millions.

You know, maybe if we weren't fighting a
war in Iraq, we'd have resources to do

that. Why are you guys so concerned
about peace in Iraq?

There's not going to be peace anywhere
until there's peace throughout the

East. If you ask me, we should be paying
more attention to North Korea. I mean,

we ought to be putting some funds
towards that situation.

Why leave home to spend our money? You
think Native Americans have been treated

fairly? You think we won't benefit from
a few bucks from that war chest?

Of course. But historically, we always
helped out. Do we stop helping people

because people hate us?

And not everyone hates us.

I'm Italian, second generation.

My father says if America hadn't rescued
our families during World War II, we'd

still be hiding from Mussolini.

Mussolini would be 121 years old now.

Maybe if we weren't so busy policing the
world, we could police our own

neighborhood. Come on, my brother's a
cop. You know what he makes? You know

I make?

Let's go. This discussion's over.

Well? Well, what?

Don't you have an opinion about
anything?

A cause you'd be willing to speak up
for?

Yeah, of course I do.

I'll speak up when I'm ready to speak
up.

I filled up your car for you.

Oh, I could have done that, but thanks.

See you later.

What time will you be home?

Um, I'm not sure. I'm going to a
political debate.

They're going to talk about women's
issues in the election.

As opposed to men's issues or human
issues?

It's a class assignment. I have to go.

And I want to go.

Should be very informative.

What are you going to do with the
information?

What do you mean?

I know your little secret.

You're not registered to vote.

I registered this morning. When?

When?

On the way back home from dropping the
twins off at school.

Oh, great.

Where? Where?

Where they register people to vote.

What's the matter? You don't believe me?

Hey, you still have one week. I'll take
you if you want. I don't need you to

take me. I took me. I registered to
vote.

Which party? Why do you want to know
that?

Just curious. We've never really
discussed politics that much.

So let's not start now. See you later.
Thanks for filling up the car.

You're doing it all wrong.

You're stupid.

No, you're stupid.

Hey, hey. How was your day?

Fine. Good.

Your laundry's sitting in the basket in
the dryer. You want to bring it upstairs

before you settle into doing your
homework?

I'll get it later.

No, hold on.

You have certain responsibilities here
in addition to going to school and doing

your homework.

We all have to pitch in around here.

But you're obviously distracted. What's
going on?

Ruthie?

I'm sorry.

I'll get it.

No, I'm way past the laundry lecture. I
said what's going on.

Now, was your day really fine or did
something happen?

Okay. Okay.

My day was humiliating. How were you
humiliated?

Evidently, my interest in boys has
overshadowed my interest in just about

everything else in this world. I know
nothing.

Well, you are only in ninth grade, you
know. There's a lot to learn and a lot

consider before you form your own
opinion.

Maybe it was like that in the olden
days, but it's not like that now.

You know, Martin asked me if I had a
cause I'd speak up for. I had to lie.

I knew this had something to do with
Martin.

The closer it gets to election, the
closer he gets to exploding.

Didn't your father talk to him just this
morning about being careful, about

voicing his opinions?

I don't know.

But, I mean, it's not like it was just
him.

There was a whole bunch of people
voicing their opinions, and I have no

on anything.

I'm telling you, I'm giving up on boys
and getting on the Internet.

Oh, that's right.

We're still living in biblical times. We
don't have the Internet.

May I suggest NPR, National Public
Radio?

You get plenty of free information from
a variety of informed sources.

What's up?

Ruthie, she's giving up on boys because
she felt humiliated today at school by

Martin and a bunch of other kids who
made her feel that she knows nothing

anything. I don't care why she's giving
up on boys just as long as she's giving

up. That's great news.

Yes, you do care. Didn't you talk to
Martin this morning about this?

I'll get this one.

Hey, stop that. What's going on?

Why are you fighting? He called me
stupid.

I thought we weren't going to call
anyone stupid. Isn't that what we talked

about this morning, not calling anyone
stupid?

You said not to call the guy running for
president stupid. You didn't say not to

call Sam stupid.

Yes, I did.

No, I don't think you did.

Well, maybe you weren't listening.

I said not to call anyone stupid.

In this house, we don't call anyone
stupid.

What about in the White House?

Nope, not in the White House. What about
in the other guy's house?

No, name -calling is inappropriate in
anyone's house, or outside anyone's

for that matter.

We saw a lot of men doing that and
waving the flag at the same time. It's

all the time. Haven't you seen it? Yes,
those are political advertisements.

I'm sure it must all be very confusing,
especially when you see grown -ups

misbehaving. But here's the thing.

Name -calling is a last -ditch effort to
discredit the other person, and it's

wrong. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.

Think about that.

By any chance, did Simon take the other
children's ability to hear me when he

left? I don't seem to be getting through
to anyone.

I've been wondering the same thing.

I've been telling Lucy for weeks now to
register to vote, and as of today, she

still hasn't registered.

Lucy isn't registered to vote?

No. Neither is Kevin. He never
registered after he moved here.

I wasn't supposed to mention that. I
wasn't supposed to mention, you know,

Lucy either.

Simon. Is Simon registered?

I don't know.

Mary and Carlos?

I don't know.

Matt and Sarah?

Shouldn't we know?

By that, don't you mean shouldn't I
know? I didn't say that. That's what

thinking. I'm not. Then what are you
thinking?

I'm thinking that actions speak louder
than words.

What does that mean? It means that
voting speaks louder than not.

You still think I didn't vote in the
last election?

I know you didn't vote. I'm just hoping
you vote this time.

You know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking
that thou doth protest too much. Maybe

you didn't vote in the last election.

You're stupid.

No, you're stupid.

I didn't say anything.

I didn't say anything either.

Where are you going?

Nowhere. How was the political debate?

It was fine. I'm just hungry. I thought
I'd stop by and get some fries.

You can register to vote while you wait
for your fries.

Really?

You're not registered to vote, are you?

Registered? To vote?

Please. I told you before. I registered.

I'm a cop.

I can tell when someone's not being
completely honest with me.

There's no shame in registering late.

Then why are you acting so annoying?

So you didn't.

You're not.

All right.

Oh, right.

I'm not registered.

I'm going to register.

So am I.

So are you.

You haven't registered?

Nope. Then why are you smiling when you
lied to me and your daughter?

Lied? I didn't lie. You never really
asked me. And why would I?

All this time, you let me and your
daughter think you're a registered

I was. I just haven't changed my
registration since I moved here.

And yet you let me think that I'm a
traitor to my country because I haven't

registered to vote.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Why? Because you're ashamed of yourself?

No, I'm not ashamed of myself.

I'm going to school, I'm getting my
degree, I'm working, I'm having a baby,

I'm kind of proud of myself for
everything else I'm doing.

Maybe I haven't had time to register to
vote.

But you, what are you doing that you
couldn't register to vote?

Oh, let's see. Go into your doctor
appointment.

Picking up midnight snacks, filling up
your car, fetching things day and night.

Oh, and let me see, what else is there?
Oh, yeah, protecting the safety of

everyone in the city of Glen Oak. Maybe
I didn't have time to change my

registration to vote.

So I'm your excuse?

Me and your daughter and our needs are
keeping you from doing what any other

decent citizen should be doing? Since
when did it become the two of you

me? Since you acted like my not
registering to vote was stupid.

I didn't call you stupid.

Not so many words, bud.

Bud? but we think you are just as
stupid.

Hey.

You want some help with your homework?

What makes you think I can't do it on my
own?

Because it's supposed to be on the
presidential election.

So? So, if you don't have an opinion
about anything going on in the world,

did you have an opinion on the
presidential election?

What makes you think I don't have an
opinion on anything that's going on in

world? I was just listening to NPR.

And? And what?

And what have you learned?

What are you, my political advisor?

I could be. If only you could see both
sides of any issue. I can see both sides

of any issue, the right side and the
wrong side. Well, maybe there isn't a

side and a wrong side.

Well, maybe you're... Stupid?

I didn't say that. But you were going to
say that. Well, at least I read the

newspaper and watch the news every day.
And I don't, so I'm stupid.

Stupid is a stupid does.

Well, you must be stupid to call me
stupid.

Hello, you've reached Carlos and Mary
and Charles Miguel.

Please leave a message.

Hi, honey, it's your dad.

Hey, Dad.

Carlos, hey.

I was just calling to say hi.

Really? Really. Why, don't I usually
call just to say hello?

Rarely. That's okay. We love talking to
you. Don't we, Charlie?

Where's Mary?

Oh, she went to a political rally.

Oh, that's great. Who's it for?

Oh, Mary said if you called not to tell
you, so I...

I'm just following orders.

Yeah, but if she didn't want me to know,
then obviously it's not the person that

I would want her to be campaigning for.
But, of course, that's not important.

What's important is that you're both
registered to vote and you're both

in the upcoming presidential election.

That's what's important.

Ah, you see, I knew you called for a
reason. Well, it's just that so many

people haven't registered to vote, and
that's so important to this election.

If everyone who was eligible to vote...

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah. Blah, blah.

Oh, sorry, Dad. What were you saying?

Would you ask your mother if there's
something I can do to help get dinner

ready? My mother and I are going out for
dinner.

What, no dinner at this hour? What's
going on?

An election.

Ruthie's watching the boys.

Well, I have to go. Give my love to Mary
and Charlie, and don't forget to

register to vote, and don't forget to
vote. It's important.

Tell me, tell me, Charles.

What is it that makes us parents so
difficult to listen to?

Yeah, what is it?

I'm going to pick up something since
evidently you and Mrs. Camden aren't

speaking to each other.

You want to pick something up for the
rest of us? I could, but your daughter

just called me stupid, so I'd rather
just pick up something for myself.

Where's your brother?

I don't know.

There he is.

Did you guys eat? I ate. Mommy made me a
sandwich.

So David ate too? I don't know anything
about him.

So everyone ate, but Martin and me?

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

Or haven't you heard? No, I haven't
heard.

Well, maybe you should ask Martin,
because he thinks he knows everything.

Especially about the presidential
election.

I just talked to him this morning.

Well, I don't think he was listening.

Well, I'll talk to him again.

Please do. And make it one of your long
and serious sermons. Not just a

sermonette. You and Martin have been
fighting since school started. Or even

before that.

Yeah, I know.

Would you like a

sandwich? I'm not hungry.

You? You're not hungry?

Lucy and I had a fight, the first fight
we've had since she got pregnant.

Oh, well, that's not too unusual.

When Annie was pregnant with Matt, we
used to have a lot of fights.

About politics?

About politics, about laundry, about a
lot of things. It was a very stressful

time. But with each pregnancy, I started
to learn... Blah, blah, blah, blah,

blah.

I just felt so stupid not having
registered before that that I took it

Kevin. I think Kevin's dad does not know
that I'm not registered.

But you and Kevin ran into each other as
you were going to register. Didn't you

register? I was too upset to register.

But Kevin isn't registered either.

Well, I know. That's what got me so
upset.

Wait.

How do you know that?

Dad knew?

Did Dad tell you?

Did Dad tell you that Kevin's not
registered? Because that would mean that

told Dad before he told me. Oh, does it
really matter?

Did you tell Dad that I'm not
registered?

Oh, Lucy, I'm sorry. It just slipped
out. How could it just slip out?

I don't know. Politics makes people say
stupid things to each other.

I'll say.

I beg your pardon?

I don't care how old I get. Everyone
else in the family always knows

before I do. I'm sorry, Lucy. Let's not
make this little slip of the tongue, you

know, part of a lifelong syndrome.

I remember once when Annie was pregnant
with Matt and Reagan was running against

Carter.

I wrote this sermon, and let me see if I
can remember exactly.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Kevin?

Are you listening?

I'm sorry. I lost my train of thought.

By the way, you didn't mention that I
wasn't registered to vote to Annie, did

you?

I'm sure Lucy's told her.

I mean, you know women, especially
mothers and daughters, they talk.

Yeah, but did you tell her?

It just slipped out, kind of. I'm sorry.
I mean, I don't even have an excuse

other than maybe politics makes people
say stupid things to each other. Yeah,

stupid.

Politics makes people say stupid things
to each other.

Thanks for the sandwich.

What's with you?

Oh, it seems that election time causes
all sorts of trouble in all sorts of

relationships. Would you like to talk?

Not really. Would you like to say
something to me?

I thought we talked this morning, but
evidently I didn't get my point across.

Okay, I'm begging you. Just tell me what
it is you want me to do. I'll do it.

Just say what it is.

Hello?

Who's this?

Who is this?

This is Eric Camden. Oh, Simon's dad.

How you doing?

I'm doing fine. How are you doing?

Fine. Are you calling about something in
particular?

I'm just call returning.

I got back to the dorm before Simon.

Oh, so Simon's still out?

Yeah, but he's out at the library.

Is he really at the library, or are you
just saying it's the library to avoid

telling me where he really is?

He's not out with Georgia.

But he's not at the library?

You almost tricked me.

Simon warned me you might try to do
that.

If you want me to give him a message...
I would love it if you would tell him to

make sure that he's registered to vote.

He only has another week if he hasn't
registered.

No kidding?

Is that just for him or everybody?

It's everyone. Everyone in America has
another week to register to vote.

Good to know.

Are you registered to vote? If I'm not,
are you going to give me a lecture?

Of course not.

Tell you what, I'll have Simon call.

And you can lecture him if he's not
registered. But if he is, you could

him about being out.

Not that he's not at the library.

Bye, Monty.

I really wish you hadn't done that.

I really didn't want Mom to know. I
didn't want anyone to know. I was wrong.

shouldn't have said anything.

How would you like it if I told Lucy you
didn't vote in the last election?

What are you talking about? I'm talking
about how you were so busy driving other

people to the polls and helping Mr.
Wexler find where he was supposed to be

the polls closed before you got a chance
to vote.

Isn't that right?

Uh... How do you know about Mr. Wexler?

You told me.

I also vote first, and then I help
everyone else.

Not in the last election. You intended
to vote after dropping Mr. Wexler off,

but you didn't, did you?

I kind of feel like I'm being
interrogated, son.

Okay, it's the first time I ever missed
voting in a presidential election since

I was 18 years old.

Uh -huh.

Hello.

Hi, Dad.

Oh, hey, Matt. How are you? Tired. I
just came off an 18 -hour shift, and I

what you called about.

Well, I just wanted to know if you and
Sarah are... Registered, yes.

We're registered to vote.

We're voting.

So, uh... I'm not telling you.

That's okay. It's okay.

Voting's a very personal matter, and
this election has... Gotten personal.

personal.

Well, that's just what I was talking
about.

Look, you get some sleep, okay?

Okay.

They're registered.

Now all they have to do is vote.

And by the way, I heard Matt snoring.

So, where were we?

You didn't vote. I'm so ashamed of
myself.

And shame.

It's so underrated these days. It can be
quite useful at times.

Wait.

You said, how would I like it if... If,
being the operative word, you

told Lucy.

You told Lucy your little theory about
my not voting?

It's not a theory now. It's a fact.

How did you know?

Well... Dad told Kevin this long story
about driving this old guy around the

city all day, and he didn't specifically
say that he didn't vote, but Kevin's a

cop. He knows when people are covering.
He knows Dad didn't vote.

When did Dad have this conversation with
Kevin?

I don't know.

Let's get the check. I'm ready to go.

I want dessert.

If you knew, why didn't you tell me?
Because it didn't seem important at the

time. Well, that doesn't matter. You're
supposed to tell me everything. I'm your

mother. You don't tell me everything.

I tell you practically everything, even
things I'm not supposed to tell you,

remember?

And when you're a mother, we'll probably
be sharing more and more.

Did you vote in the last election? Not
sharing things about elections. Things

about husbands and children and life.

No. Does Dad know?

No, and I'm hoping you won't tell him. I
won't tell him. Then don't tell Kevin.

I tell Kevin everything because Kevin
tells me everything.

Okay, I'll try not to tell him.

Geez, I hate politics.

So? Who are you going to vote for? That
I don't tell anyone.

I'll tell you if you tell me.

No, because you'll just tell Kevin. Come
on. Just between mother and daughter?

Just between us?

Of course I'm voting for him.

Aren't you? Yeah.

Who's Lucy voting for? I don't know.

Who's Annie voting for?

She never tells me.

Yeah, I don't think Lucy will tell me
either.

Which means?

That they're not voting the way we're
voting.

I can't vote.

Why not?

Because you have to be 18 to vote.

Why? Because it's the law.

Well, because you don't know enough to
make a good decision until you're 18.

At least that's what people think.

I know lots of things.

Well, so do I. But I still can't vote.

Well, that's a stupid law.

Can't children vote on anything?

Not really. But if we could...

If we could, I bet things would be
different.

How?

Tell you what.

If you make up with your brother, I'll
read you a book all about voting.

My dad gave it to me when I was a kid.

I'll give you the idea.

I'm smart.

I'm smarter.

No, I'm smarter.

I can make you both smarter than a lot
of people.

Come on, I want to read you a story
about how the president gets elected.

I missed you.

And our daughter?

How was dinner?

It was interesting.

I missed you, too.

Good night.

So you didn't vote in the last election.

You didn't tell your mother that your
father didn't vote in the last election,

did you? It's okay. She didn't vote
either. You shouldn't have told her. It

just a theory.

No, it wasn't. You told me you were sure
he didn't vote.

Wait a minute. Your mother didn't vote
in the last election either?

Nope. It'd hate to be over at their
house right now.

I don't think we've had a night like
this since Carter defeated Ford.

Hello, what about the night the governor
was elected?

Oh, sorry,

how could I forget Terminator night? My
apologies.

I wonder how Kevin and Lucy are doing.

Poor Kevin and Lucy, their first
election.

Oh, I think they'll make it through.

How I've been feeling like no one's
listening to me.

I think we've been feeling that no one's
listening to either of us. I think I

know why.

Why? Because we're deaf?

Because all the candidates are talking
too much?

I think we've been talking too much.
Just talking and talking, and I'm

I'm not going to be doing as much
talking.

Really?

Something Martin said has just been...

running running through my head he he
practically begged me to just tell him

what to do instead of lecturing him

with so many people talking right now
it's hard it's hard to hear anything

not to mention that as parents we love
hearing ourselves talk a

lot more than our children love
listening

Let's go boys!

I'm not going to school.

Me neither.

We voted not to go. Yeah, we voted.

And we won.

We're not going.

Go upstairs and get dressed. You're
going to school.

What's with Sam and David?

They're just a little late getting
dressed for school.

Aren't you going to ask me if I have my
homework today?

No.

Well, I wrote my paper, and I like it.

Good for you. If you like it, I'll bet
I'd like it. You want to know what it's

about? If you want to tell me, I'd love
to hear.

Really? Of course.

Don't you want to tell me how much
better it is to do my homework than not

it?

Or about some paper you wrote?

Or anything?

Aren't you feeling well?

Is it your heart?

I feel fine.

I'll let you read my paper when I get my
grade on it. Well, I look forward to

it.

Morning. Morning.

I don't need a ride from you.

Dad will take me to school. I can't,
Martin. You drive Ruthie to school, and

two work out your differences.

Got it.

Heard him loud and clear that time.

So did I.

And before you came down here, he was
actually listening to me.

Good. Because I'm sure you have
something to say.

I know it's no excuse, but I'm really
excited about this election.

It seems like a really important one.
Not that they're not all important.

I just can't help voicing my opinion.
And it's not just because my dad's a

Marine. It's because I'm me.

I love politics.

I might even want to be a politician
someday.

I'm sorry if I made you feel stupid.

Well, I'm smart enough to forgive you
and learn my lesson.

From now on, I'm reading the paper, I'm
watching the news, and I'm getting

involved.

Four years from now, I'll be ready to
vote.

If I know you, four years from now,
you'll be ready to run for office.

Who knows?

Maybe I'll start this spring. We're
running for sophomore president.

Good. I'll be happy to help you, but
only if you need me.

The whole world's a mess.

You know that, don't you?

See? You do have something to say.

Hey, look who's here. Oh, hey.

Yeah, Dad called me.

Dad called me, too.

And then Mary came home, and we got into
a discussion. She found out that I

wasn't registered to vote, and now I'm
registered.

Yeah, we had the same argument at
breakfast.

I never changed my registration when we
moved here.

I got no excuse.

I just find the whole thing completely
intimidating.

It's an awesome responsibility, choosing
a president. So you're undecided.

Oh, no, I'm decided.

No, you're not.

No, you're voting like Mary's voting.

Well, she had the baby for both of us,
so... She'll never know if you vote the

other way.

You haven't had a baby yet. You'll see.

You like pudding?

Does pudding refer to one of the
candidates, or does that mean lunch at

hospital? Lunch at the hospital. Wait
for me.

Yes, I'm registered.

Hey, guess who I ran into?

Your brother. Yeah, we're gonna go have
lunch.

No, I guess he never changed his
registration when he moved here.

I don't know. He didn't say.

Mary wants to tell you how proud she is
that you're registered.

No, she doesn't. She just wants to tell
me how to vote. Nice try.

Come on.

So we're registered.

Yep. So now all we've got to do is vote.

Yep. You know, I would never ask you to
vote the way I'm voting just because I'm

having your baby, your daughter.

I know you wouldn't, because then you'd
have to tell me how you're voting.

Well, okay.

I'll tell you who I'm voting for and
tell you why, and then you tell me who

you're voting for and tell me why.

I don't want to.

Well, are you sure you know where your
candidate stands on the issues that are

important to you? I don't care. I just
think he's cute.

Wait! You're kidding!

Yes, I'm kidding. But we just barely
squeaked by voter registration.

Let's not test our relationship any
further.

But we are going to vote.

Yes, we are going to vote. Are you sure
you don't want to tell me?

I'm absolutely positive.

I'm glad you're issuing orders again.
Nice job.

Thanks.

Following the campaign?

Yes.

Undecided?

Not really, no.

He's for better schools, higher pay for
teachers, more police officers on the

street, greater national security, lower
taxes.

His opponent can't be trusted to do
anything other than raise taxes.

Don't you have anything you want to say
about the election today?

Yeah, but I was talking to Ruthie, and
she has a really interesting

Go ahead.

Well, it's just that if we had the right
to vote, if children had the right to

vote, I think the world would be a
different place, a better place.

If children voted, we would see to it
that every child was fed, that every

child... has a family, or at least a
safe place to grow up, we'd make sure

every child had the opportunity to go to
school and get an education.

No child would be sacrificed for peace.

No child would be discriminated against
because of their race, religion, or

belief. But we don't have the right to
vote.

So all we can do is ask that those who
do have the right value that

We all need to make sure that those who
love us are registered to vote and that

they do go to the polls on November 2nd
and cast their ballots.

Our future is at stake.

Vote for me.

Vote for me. Vote for me.

Vote for me.

Vote for me.

Vote for me.

Vote for me.

Vote for me. Vote for me. Vote for me.
Vote for me. Vote for me.

Vote for me.

Vote for me.

Vote for me. Vote for me.

Vote. Vote.

Vote. Vote.
