Guido, Gui, Gui… Guiteau?

11
00:01:20,958 --> 00:01:22,083
Guiteau.

12
00:01:22,708 --> 00:01:25,625
-That's French, isn't it?
-Only by name, sir.

13
00:01:25,708 --> 00:01:27,666
I'm as American as any man.

14
00:01:27,750 --> 00:01:31,750
Born in Illinois, er,
Michigan, Wisconsin, New York.

15
00:01:31,833 --> 00:01:35,125
Hmm, so you've uprooted often then.

16
00:01:35,208 --> 00:01:37,666
I go where the opportunity leads.

17
00:01:38,416 --> 00:01:40,208
You sit before us today

18
00:01:40,291 --> 00:01:43,041
having been found guilty
of false pretenses.

19
00:01:43,125 --> 00:01:45,166
It was a misunderstanding.

20
00:01:45,250 --> 00:01:49,500
Um, an honest mix-up
between tenant and landlord.

21
00:01:49,583 --> 00:01:51,500
And evading your arrest as well.

22
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,750
That's not how I recollect it.

23
00:02:03,125 --> 00:02:04,875
We have a letter from your father.

24
00:02:07,291 --> 00:02:08,291
From my father?

25
00:02:08,375 --> 00:02:11,416
He says
you've long been estranged.

26
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:13,666
That you were occupied upstate

27
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:19,083
with the Oneida free love colony.

28
00:02:19,666 --> 00:02:21,083
Well, he'd be mistaken.

29
00:02:24,833 --> 00:02:27,291
The suggestion alone is ludicrous.

30
00:02:27,375 --> 00:02:31,125
To speak candidly
on behalf of the panel, Mr. Guiteau,

31
00:02:31,208 --> 00:02:34,708
you seem to us a liar and a fraud.

32
00:02:34,791 --> 00:02:36,875
We fail to see how you've served

33
00:02:36,958 --> 00:02:40,333
as anything more
than a drain on good society.

34
00:02:41,583 --> 00:02:42,750
A drain?

35
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,958
A drain on good society?

36
00:02:47,041 --> 00:02:48,458
That's, well…

37
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:50,916
No, that's not right.

38
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,583
That's not how this is...
this is supposed to go.

39
00:02:53,666 --> 00:02:59,083
No, sir, uh, you, you sit there
and you ask me to prove my worth.

40
00:02:59,166 --> 00:03:00,416
Well, let me tell you.

41
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:05,833
I sit now in the same position
as any one of our forbearers.

42
00:03:05,916 --> 00:03:08,458
Are we not a nation built wholly

43
00:03:08,541 --> 00:03:13,416
from rogues and migrants and freethinkers?

44
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:15,583
Isn't that the whole point of this thing?

45
00:03:15,666 --> 00:03:18,500
Here and only here, a man can be anyone.

46
00:03:20,250 --> 00:03:24,333
He can amass a fortune.
He can influence millions through...

47
00:03:24,416 --> 00:03:28,708
through words or action, his...
his name ringing down through the ages.

48
00:03:28,791 --> 00:03:31,500
Not a drain, no.

49
00:03:33,083 --> 00:03:34,958
Not a drain but a credit.

50
00:03:38,083 --> 00:03:41,625
Hell… under the right conditions,

51
00:03:42,541 --> 00:03:44,708
he might even be made president.

Mom says it's breakfast.

62
00:05:06,541 --> 00:05:08,041
Just a couple more.

63
00:05:14,291 --> 00:05:15,750
Hey, Mollie.

64
00:05:15,833 --> 00:05:17,666
What would you say to a new bedroom?

65
00:05:17,750 --> 00:05:20,458
One you didn't have to share
with two younger brothers?

66
00:05:20,541 --> 00:05:22,208
I'd be overjoyed, in theory.

67
00:05:22,875 --> 00:05:26,291
But seeing as it's taking you
nearly a month to build a picnic table…

68
00:05:26,375 --> 00:05:28,541
Hey, now, that's not just any table.

69
00:05:28,625 --> 00:05:31,208
That's a feat of modern engineering.

70
00:05:31,291 --> 00:05:36,083
Right. Like your, uh, irrigation dam
that flooded Mom's garden with sewage.

71
00:05:36,166 --> 00:05:39,541
I might have flown
too close to the sun on that one.

72
00:05:41,291 --> 00:05:42,125
Oh.

73
00:05:42,208 --> 00:05:44,916
I didn't hear you come in last night.

74
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,416
He was where we left him.
Working away on his table like a madman.

75
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:51,625
No great wisdom has been
without a touch of madness.

76
00:05:54,458 --> 00:05:56,375
-Well, good morning!
-Hey!

77
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,750
Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.

78
00:05:59,833 --> 00:06:02,333
Show of hands,
who would like their eggs poached?

79
00:06:02,416 --> 00:06:05,833
-I'll take our soft-boiled, Dad.
-Uh, I'll take mine poached, actually.

80
00:06:05,916 --> 00:06:07,458
-Pancakes.
-Pancakes.

81
00:06:11,541 --> 00:06:12,541
Oh.

82
00:06:12,916 --> 00:06:15,041
-Mollie.
-Good morning, Joe.

83
00:06:15,125 --> 00:06:17,750
I hope I'm not interrupting a family meal.

84
00:06:17,833 --> 00:06:20,708
I'm just here to drop off mail.
Letter for the congressman.

85
00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:25,916
-From John Sherman.
-General Sherman's little brother?

86
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,291
And the treasury secretary.

87
00:06:28,375 --> 00:06:30,500
Says he's gonna run for president.

88
00:06:30,583 --> 00:06:34,583
He wants me to nominate him
at the convention next week.

89
00:06:35,916 --> 00:06:37,791
The party refuses to reelect Hayes.

90
00:06:37,875 --> 00:06:40,208
They want their weight
behind a different candidate.

91
00:06:40,291 --> 00:06:41,833
Not Grant again.

92
00:06:41,916 --> 00:06:43,166
Grant's very popular.

93
00:06:43,250 --> 00:06:45,500
The public still sees
the man who won the war.

94
00:06:45,583 --> 00:06:47,625
They turn a blind eye to the scandals.

95
00:06:47,708 --> 00:06:50,291
And New York has its claws in him.

96
00:06:50,375 --> 00:06:53,833
They parade him around their banquets
like some puffed-up old totem.

97
00:06:54,666 --> 00:06:57,250
That's no way to talk about a war hero.

98
00:06:57,333 --> 00:07:00,291
And you would be there to…
to give a speech?

99
00:07:00,375 --> 00:07:02,458
I'm sure I'm not the first he's asked.

100
00:07:02,541 --> 00:07:06,333
Any politician with aspirations
would be crazy to go up against New York.

101
00:07:06,416 --> 00:07:07,791
Mm-hmm.

102
00:07:09,958 --> 00:07:14,250
But he knows my ambitions
are more earthbound.

103
00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:19,583
-A perfect man to throw to the wolves.
-Mm-hmm.

104
00:07:20,416 --> 00:07:22,375
So what's that twinkle in your eye?

105
00:07:34,041 --> 00:07:36,458
-Oh.
-It's a few light reads from your pile.

106
00:07:37,041 --> 00:07:39,208
I can't have you falling behind.

107
00:07:39,291 --> 00:07:40,666
Very considerate.

108
00:07:45,416 --> 00:07:48,083
Whatever you do out there,
don't forget this.

109
00:07:48,166 --> 00:07:50,583
You have my word, darling, I swear.

110
00:07:52,375 --> 00:07:53,375
Mm.

111
00:07:57,791 --> 00:07:58,833
All right.

112
00:08:31,041 --> 00:08:32,041
Franny?

113
00:08:32,708 --> 00:08:33,708
Franny?

114
00:08:33,791 --> 00:08:34,958
Charlie!

115
00:08:35,041 --> 00:08:36,041
Franny!

116
00:08:44,958 --> 00:08:48,833
You have no idea how glad I was
to know that you were safe.

117
00:08:50,041 --> 00:08:53,125
This business is bad for my health,
and I ought to settle down

118
00:08:53,208 --> 00:08:56,625
and put in the work
and earn my way rightly.

119
00:08:56,708 --> 00:08:58,208
And no more habits.

120
00:08:58,291 --> 00:09:02,625
Well, you have a room at our house
for as long as you need it. You know that.

121
00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:04,541
And perhaps George could see

122
00:09:04,625 --> 00:09:08,000
if there's a clerkship open
in the patent office for you.

123
00:09:08,083 --> 00:09:12,125
Patent law is a business
for those who lack their own ideas.

124
00:09:12,750 --> 00:09:15,291
I'm sure I can never be fulfilled there.

125
00:09:15,375 --> 00:09:18,833
But look, I have a new concept.

126
00:09:18,916 --> 00:09:21,000
It's a newspaper format.

127
00:09:21,083 --> 00:09:24,166
And it's something good, something honest.

128
00:09:24,250 --> 00:09:27,000
Something that will give voice
to the common man.

129
00:09:27,083 --> 00:09:28,250
The Daily Theocrat.

130
00:09:28,916 --> 00:09:31,833
-That's a nice name, Charlie.
-I know what you're thinking.

131
00:09:31,916 --> 00:09:34,375
But I still have
a few friends left in Chicago.

132
00:09:34,458 --> 00:09:38,166
Men who maybe see value in such a thing,
and if I can amass the seed funds…

133
00:09:38,250 --> 00:09:42,416
And of course, I would need
my sister to run the arts page.

134
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,833
But that's… I mean, that's ridiculous.

135
00:09:45,916 --> 00:09:48,708
I haven't picked up a brush
since I was a teenage girl.

136
00:09:48,791 --> 00:09:50,791
And it was your dream, wasn't it?

137
00:10:13,333 --> 00:10:15,708
-Welcome to Chicago, Congressman.
-Thank you.

138
00:10:23,208 --> 00:10:25,916
-What is that stench that hurts so bad?
-Uncle Charlie!

139
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,625
-Oh! What's that disgusting stench?
-Uncle Charlie!

140
00:10:29,708 --> 00:10:31,333
I'm coming to get ya!

141
00:10:34,208 --> 00:10:35,833
I can smell…

142
00:10:39,666 --> 00:10:40,666
Charles.

143
00:10:41,333 --> 00:10:42,541
Hello, darling.

144
00:10:43,125 --> 00:10:44,875
How's the patent game, George?

145
00:10:45,541 --> 00:10:46,541
Good.

146
00:11:02,583 --> 00:11:05,541
I'm sure you're curious
why I'd ask you to speak on my behalf.

147
00:11:05,625 --> 00:11:07,916
Well, I saw you once
on the floor of the House

148
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,666
before you left for Ohio.

149
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:12,250
How you talked, how they listened to you.

150
00:11:13,666 --> 00:11:16,708
Mr. Sherman, I can assure you
I'm no different than any other man.

151
00:11:16,791 --> 00:11:18,708
Oh, don't be modest. You're a fighter.

152
00:11:19,708 --> 00:11:21,416
You survived the river of death.

153
00:11:26,833 --> 00:11:30,250
My brother talks about how
you boldly shirked your general's orders,

154
00:11:30,333 --> 00:11:32,875
how you rode headlong into rebel fire.

155
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:35,166
You helped save Tennessee for the Union.

156
00:11:35,250 --> 00:11:37,250
Oh, that's too generous.

157
00:11:38,375 --> 00:11:39,916
There was no heroism in it.

158
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,958
-I was moving on impulse.
-But for a greater good.

159
00:11:43,041 --> 00:11:45,041
You're not afraid to do what's right.

160
00:11:46,166 --> 00:11:47,875
Hm.

161
00:11:47,958 --> 00:11:49,666
Listen.

162
00:11:50,333 --> 00:11:53,208
I'm under no illusions about my prospects.
I'm gonna lose.

163
00:11:53,291 --> 00:11:58,000
But we might at least be able
to push the party toward reform,

164
00:11:58,083 --> 00:11:59,916
lest we yield to the majority view

165
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,416
that two terms' worth of Grant's grift
and corruption merit another.

166
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:04,333
Hmm.

167
00:12:04,416 --> 00:12:07,958
Two-thirds of all federal revenue
flows through the port of New York.

168
00:12:08,041 --> 00:12:10,458
Roscoe Conkling, he controls New York.

169
00:12:10,541 --> 00:12:12,416
He's got the party by the balls.

170
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:14,458
And I guarantee you that within a week,

171
00:12:14,541 --> 00:12:17,458
he will have Grant
selling offices to the highest bidder.

172
00:12:17,541 --> 00:12:19,625
But if his is the popular will…

173
00:12:19,708 --> 00:12:20,708
Is it?

174
00:12:51,166 --> 00:12:52,166
Thank you.

175
00:12:59,541 --> 00:13:00,916
Hello, sir.

176
00:13:01,541 --> 00:13:05,791
My name is Charles Guiteau,
and I'd like to apply for a credit loan.

177
00:13:06,541 --> 00:13:07,625
Oh, no.

178
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,708
I remember you, sir.

179
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:16,541
It may have been four or five years past,
but I remember you clear as day.

180
00:13:16,625 --> 00:13:19,083
You must have me confused
with some other patron.

181
00:13:19,166 --> 00:13:21,166
I have never been to this establishment.

182
00:13:21,250 --> 00:13:23,166
Yes, you certainly have.

183
00:13:23,250 --> 00:13:25,791
You're the gentleman
that threw the paperweight.

184
00:13:25,875 --> 00:13:29,416
That doesn't sound quite right.
I'm sure I'd recall...

185
00:13:32,958 --> 00:13:37,708
Well, that was clearly a throw
performed by a right-handed man,

186
00:13:37,791 --> 00:13:39,458
and I am a lefty.

187
00:13:42,625 --> 00:13:45,791
This bank wouldn't know
a sound investment from a copper penny!

188
00:13:46,875 --> 00:13:48,875
And I feel sorry for you, most of all.

189
00:13:48,958 --> 00:13:49,958
Oh!

190
00:13:52,375 --> 00:13:53,666
Get to walking.

191
00:14:03,916 --> 00:14:07,750
Mr. President!

192
00:14:07,833 --> 00:14:09,291
President Grant!

193
00:14:09,375 --> 00:14:11,041
President Grant!

194
00:14:12,291 --> 00:14:14,375
Mr. President! President Grant!

195
00:14:14,458 --> 00:14:16,791
President Grant! Mr. President!

196
00:14:16,875 --> 00:14:17,916
Oh, forgive me!

197
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,958
I'm one of your biggest boosters, sir.

198
00:14:20,041 --> 00:14:22,542
All my life, I've been following
your career with great interest,

199
00:14:22,625 --> 00:14:24,250
and I would like to… Sir!

200
00:14:28,375 --> 00:14:29,833
Oh, Senator Conkling, sir!

201
00:14:29,916 --> 00:14:32,208
I'm a great admirer
of your work in New York.

202
00:14:32,291 --> 00:14:34,208
Oh, you don't say. That's kind.

203
00:14:34,291 --> 00:14:38,083
Yes, and I'm eager to, uh, punch my ballot
for your ticket come November.

204
00:14:38,166 --> 00:14:41,833
I'm designing a newspaper, see,
and we plan to endorse your whole slate.

205
00:14:41,916 --> 00:14:43,167
-Senator.
-Nice to see you.

206
00:14:43,250 --> 00:14:46,875
Oh, hey! Please, uh, be respectful
and give the senator his space.

207
00:14:46,958 --> 00:14:49,375
-I'm serious! It's an awful pain.
-Senator…

208
00:14:49,458 --> 00:14:53,166
Um, sir, I was hoping you might find time
to have a chat with a party faithful.

209
00:14:53,250 --> 00:14:55,291
I know a handsome pub nearby with malts.

210
00:14:55,375 --> 00:14:58,000
I would love to have a malt,
but I fear I'm all booked up, Mr…

211
00:14:58,083 --> 00:14:59,333
Guiteau. Charles Guiteau.

212
00:14:59,416 --> 00:15:01,333
All I ask for, sir, is an opportunity.

213
00:15:01,416 --> 00:15:03,666
I've had some good ideas
I worked out in my spare time

214
00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:07,000
on how the president
can expand his message to the common man.

215
00:15:07,083 --> 00:15:08,458
That happens to be a topic

216
00:15:08,541 --> 00:15:11,791
my friend Chester here
is very passionate about.

217
00:15:11,875 --> 00:15:13,583
Oh, so…

218
00:15:14,291 --> 00:15:16,333
Hit the road, chief. We ain't buying.

219
00:15:16,416 --> 00:15:19,166
You're a very well-covered fellow.

220
00:15:19,250 --> 00:15:20,250
Oh!

221
00:15:47,750 --> 00:15:50,833
Oh, so you deny he made off
with those $60 from our drawer

222
00:15:50,916 --> 00:15:52,416
the last time he blew through town?

223
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:56,291
That could have been a burglar.
The police report was inconclusive.

224
00:15:56,375 --> 00:15:59,583
How is it you're the smartest woman
I know, but when it comes to him, you're...

225
00:15:59,666 --> 00:16:02,208
Charlie has never
had it easy, George.

226
00:16:02,291 --> 00:16:04,541
Father was especially hard on him.

227
00:16:05,625 --> 00:16:08,916
Blamed him for our mother's illness,
and he had that awful stutter.

228
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,916
He joined a sex cult, Frances.

229
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,791
That was purely anthropological.

230
00:16:12,875 --> 00:16:16,958
-Oh, come on!
-It was research for an aborted book.

231
00:16:17,041 --> 00:16:20,916
George, you cannot ask me
to cast my own brother out on the street.

232
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,375
I won't do it.

233
00:16:22,458 --> 00:16:26,125
I don't plan to just sit idly by
as he breaks your heart again.

234
00:16:26,208 --> 00:16:29,791
-Is that what you're afraid of?
-I have some very good news.

235
00:16:29,875 --> 00:16:31,958
The bank has approved me for a loan.

236
00:16:32,041 --> 00:16:36,333
Oh, Charlie!
Is this for your newspaper idea?

237
00:16:36,416 --> 00:16:39,250
The bank manager himself came in,
and he shook my hand.

238
00:16:39,333 --> 00:16:40,833
Which bank was it, exactly?

239
00:16:40,916 --> 00:16:43,291
George, please.

240
00:16:44,291 --> 00:16:46,041
I'm joking. I'm joking.

241
00:16:46,125 --> 00:16:49,625
We're all very proud of you, Charlie.

242
00:16:49,708 --> 00:16:53,000
How about a toast? To The Daily Theocrat.

243
00:16:53,083 --> 00:16:55,416
May mention of its name

244
00:16:55,500 --> 00:17:00,708
strike fear into the heart
of every Tribune editor.

245
00:17:02,833 --> 00:17:03,958
The Daily Theocrat.

246
00:17:04,041 --> 00:17:07,291
-The Daily Theocrat.
-We always knew you had it in you.

247
00:17:31,916 --> 00:17:33,458
I, uh…

248
00:17:33,541 --> 00:17:37,208
I appreciate you
hosting me in your home, George.

249
00:17:37,291 --> 00:17:39,458
And I've been thinking, um…

250
00:17:39,958 --> 00:17:42,083
About how I might be of use here.

251
00:17:42,583 --> 00:17:43,583
Longer term?

252
00:17:44,875 --> 00:17:47,833
And we've had our differences,
that... that's clear.

253
00:17:47,916 --> 00:17:52,250
But it would mean a lot to her,
I know, if we could be friends.

254
00:17:53,833 --> 00:17:56,416
There's only one way
this story ever ends for men like you.

255
00:17:58,541 --> 00:18:01,916
And we both know there's only one thing
you can do for your sister.

256
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:48,000
You were in the war,
Mr. Stockton?

257
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:50,708
Aye. Michigan.

258
00:18:50,791 --> 00:18:52,666
Seventh Volunteer.

259
00:18:54,083 --> 00:18:55,166
The Seventh.

260
00:18:57,083 --> 00:18:59,750
That would've put you at Antietam.

261
00:19:00,416 --> 00:19:02,916
Antietam, Chantilly.

262
00:19:03,416 --> 00:19:07,208
Lost my two boys at Cold Harbor.

263
00:19:07,791 --> 00:19:09,166
I'm so sorry.

264
00:19:13,291 --> 00:19:15,708
War is an awful business.

265
00:19:17,416 --> 00:19:19,083
Would you do it again…

266
00:19:21,583 --> 00:19:24,166
If you knew everything you stood to lose?

267
00:19:25,875 --> 00:19:29,250
My boys stood on the front line.

268
00:19:29,833 --> 00:19:32,916
They saw what was coming,
and they held their ground.

269
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,250
They died for an idea.

270
00:19:36,458 --> 00:19:39,125
An idea bigger than them.

271
00:19:39,958 --> 00:19:41,708
Bigger than any man.

272
00:19:46,958 --> 00:19:49,041
-Hmm.
-Well, I'd best be going.

273
00:19:50,291 --> 00:19:52,291
You ought to use this bed.

274
00:19:53,166 --> 00:19:54,166
Just till sun up.

275
00:19:54,250 --> 00:19:56,750
I wouldn't deny a man his berth.

276
00:19:56,833 --> 00:19:59,375
I insist. I have no use for it.

277
00:19:59,458 --> 00:20:05,791
I have a task
that requires my renewed attention.

278
00:20:47,333 --> 00:20:48,333
Thank you.

279
00:21:30,750 --> 00:21:35,000
First up, Representative Joy
speaking for Senator Blaine.

280
00:21:46,583 --> 00:21:49,708
Christ, Blainsy,
when's your man due back at the morgue?

281
00:21:59,958 --> 00:22:02,458
Does anyone else perceive a draft?

282
00:22:06,541 --> 00:22:07,875
Christ.

283
00:22:08,791 --> 00:22:11,916
I shall propose as candidate

284
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:18,916
he who's commonly called James S. Blaine.

285
00:22:19,625 --> 00:22:23,958
And my middle name is Gillespie,
you insipid twat.

286
00:22:29,291 --> 00:22:31,958
I think Blaine would be
a very good president.

287
00:22:33,125 --> 00:22:34,500
Indeed.

288
00:22:35,125 --> 00:22:36,125
Mm.

289
00:22:51,208 --> 00:22:54,500
Senator Conkling
speaking for President Grant.

290
00:22:56,666 --> 00:22:58,708
I'll see you again in four years.

291
00:23:25,666 --> 00:23:28,083
When asked
whence comes our candidate,

292
00:23:31,375 --> 00:23:34,666
we say from Appomattox!

293
00:23:46,833 --> 00:23:48,958
Show me a better man!

294
00:23:49,541 --> 00:23:51,000
I dare you!

295
00:23:52,875 --> 00:23:58,958
Name one and I am answered!

296
00:24:03,625 --> 00:24:07,375
Grant, Grant, Grant, Grant!

297
00:24:07,458 --> 00:24:11,208
Grant, Grant, Grant, Grant, Grant!

298
00:24:11,291 --> 00:24:13,083
Grant, Grant!

299
00:24:13,166 --> 00:24:16,625
Grant, Grant, Grant, Grant, Grant!

300
00:24:16,708 --> 00:24:21,333
Grant, Grant, Grant,
Grant, Grant, Grant, Grant!

301
00:24:28,750 --> 00:24:30,541
Appomattox.

302
00:24:33,583 --> 00:24:35,833
Appomattox.

303
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:38,666
-It's got a certain ring to it.
-Yeah.

304
00:24:38,750 --> 00:24:41,583
Thank God
Lee didn't surrender at Foggy Bottom.

305
00:24:42,208 --> 00:24:43,208
Heh.

306
00:24:43,916 --> 00:24:46,458
Haven't seen you on the floor
in some time, Jim.

307
00:24:47,083 --> 00:24:48,791
Farm keeping you busy?

308
00:24:49,291 --> 00:24:51,875
Well, a touch of the earth
every now and again

309
00:24:51,958 --> 00:24:53,916
can prove a kind remedy, Senator.

310
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Oh, I manage
to get my hands dirty from time to time.

311
00:24:58,708 --> 00:25:00,416
Good to have you back in the fold, Jim.

312
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:02,583
You had lots of promise once. We like you.

313
00:25:02,666 --> 00:25:04,708
Not just me, the president too.

314
00:25:04,791 --> 00:25:07,208
He says he can see you
making a real impact.

315
00:25:07,958 --> 00:25:10,750
Interior, maybe?
Land Bureau? That sort of thing?

316
00:25:12,250 --> 00:25:14,458
I'm hardly qualified for that job.

317
00:25:14,541 --> 00:25:17,875
You own a fucking farm,
don't you?

318
00:25:21,083 --> 00:25:23,458
If you'll excuse me,
I'll be late for my speech.

319
00:25:25,250 --> 00:25:26,958
You shouldn't have come back, Jim.

320
00:25:27,041 --> 00:25:28,416
Pardon me?

321
00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:30,916
Take it from someone
who's been at it a while.

322
00:25:31,666 --> 00:25:34,875
Go back to Ohio. Enjoy your quiet farm.

323
00:25:34,958 --> 00:25:37,583
You've got too much heart
for a business this filthy.

324
00:25:38,083 --> 00:25:39,708
Tears you apart.

325
00:25:40,875 --> 00:25:42,750
Hell, it's got to.

326
00:25:43,541 --> 00:25:45,000
A man like you?

327
00:25:46,291 --> 00:25:48,625
You'd be dead before you hit the ground.

328
00:25:59,708 --> 00:26:03,250
Congressman Garfield
speaking for Secretary Sherman.

329
00:26:24,833 --> 00:26:26,291
This should wrap it up.

330
00:26:33,833 --> 00:26:35,458
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

331
00:26:39,708 --> 00:26:41,125
Mr. President.

332
00:26:44,791 --> 00:26:46,000
Friends.

333
00:26:49,333 --> 00:26:53,458
Today I have sat by and borne witness

334
00:26:53,541 --> 00:26:57,458
to the shows of many big men.

335
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,375
I've bore them with a deep…

336
00:27:03,708 --> 00:27:05,041
Disquiet.

337
00:27:07,958 --> 00:27:10,666
This assembly seems…

338
00:27:12,541 --> 00:27:17,333
It struck me as a human ocean in tempest.

339
00:27:18,791 --> 00:27:23,166
I've seen the sea
lashed in a fury, flung into spray,

340
00:27:23,791 --> 00:27:26,250
but it is not the billows,

341
00:27:26,916 --> 00:27:32,833
rather, the calm level of the tide
from which we draw its depths.

342
00:27:32,916 --> 00:27:34,958
Are we in oceanography by mistake?

343
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,708
That is to say,

344
00:27:43,208 --> 00:27:45,333
it is not your present temper

345
00:27:46,125 --> 00:27:48,625
that marks the pulse of the people.

346
00:27:49,833 --> 00:27:53,250
Not here, in this turbulent hall,

347
00:27:53,333 --> 00:27:55,916
do we stake the destiny of our republic.

348
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,916
Where else would you have it be?

349
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,333
Not here!

350
00:28:00,500 --> 00:28:05,583
But by the millions of firesides
that have endowed us on their behalf.

351
00:28:09,666 --> 00:28:14,750
Those citizens guided
by a love of home and country,

352
00:28:16,708 --> 00:28:19,083
weariness for the past,

353
00:28:19,166 --> 00:28:21,208
but hope for the future.

354
00:28:21,291 --> 00:28:25,666
It is with them
that God prepares his verdict.

355
00:28:29,583 --> 00:28:32,583
Lest we forget ourselves
that not two decades ago,

356
00:28:32,666 --> 00:28:37,291
this same republic
bore with it chains of bondage!

357
00:28:38,541 --> 00:28:40,958
Men's souls paralyzed,

358
00:28:41,041 --> 00:28:45,250
the demon of slavery
preying upon the virgin West,

359
00:28:45,333 --> 00:28:47,375
and it was our party,

360
00:28:47,958 --> 00:28:51,583
and a great man who stood here
before many of you today,

361
00:28:51,666 --> 00:28:57,000
he stood in this very spot,
and he kindled a light.

362
00:28:57,583 --> 00:28:59,750
A light stoked from embers

363
00:29:00,416 --> 00:29:04,958
that would come to consume
every shackle and slave pen

364
00:29:05,041 --> 00:29:07,791
in a fire of freedom.

365
00:29:08,375 --> 00:29:14,166
We should join together in lifting
into the firmament of the Constitution

366
00:29:14,250 --> 00:29:19,250
those immortal pillars
of justice and truth.

367
00:29:19,333 --> 00:29:23,416
That every man is equal and free…

368
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:24,916
Come on!

369
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,041
…no matter what he is…

370
00:29:27,208 --> 00:29:28,625
…or how he got here.

371
00:29:30,291 --> 00:29:31,500
It falls upon us

372
00:29:31,583 --> 00:29:34,416
to hold ground as a party,

373
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,875
to show those millions of firesides.

374
00:29:37,958 --> 00:29:41,500
We want a man whose life and opinions

375
00:29:41,583 --> 00:29:44,333
embody all that is right and good
about this place.

376
00:29:45,625 --> 00:29:48,083
A man who, from a mountain's height,

377
00:29:48,166 --> 00:29:49,666
looks forward,

378
00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:53,458
prepared to meet the dangers to come

379
00:29:53,541 --> 00:29:56,791
with dignity and courage.

380
00:29:56,875 --> 00:29:58,000
God damn it!

381
00:29:58,083 --> 00:30:01,250
A man who has stood
the blaze of that fierce light

382
00:30:01,333 --> 00:30:02,791
which browbeats us all,

383
00:30:02,875 --> 00:30:08,291
but whose fiercest ray
finds no flaw in his armor,

384
00:30:08,375 --> 00:30:11,208
no stain upon his shield.

385
00:30:11,291 --> 00:30:13,125
We want a man!

386
00:30:14,375 --> 00:30:15,833
We want a man!

387
00:30:15,916 --> 00:30:17,541
We want Garfield!

388
00:30:29,625 --> 00:30:31,500
Charlie.

389
00:30:43,416 --> 00:30:49,208
I speak, of course,
of your servant, John Sherman, from Ohio.

390
00:30:50,041 --> 00:30:52,458
His record of honor speaks for itself,

391
00:30:52,541 --> 00:30:57,166
and I gladly offer him now
for your consideration.

392
00:30:58,291 --> 00:31:00,583
Thank you, and good night to you.

393
00:31:32,875 --> 00:31:34,250
Thank you.

394
00:31:48,833 --> 00:31:49,833
Fran?

395
00:31:50,458 --> 00:31:51,625
Frances.

396
00:31:56,875 --> 00:31:58,000
Wait.

397
00:32:28,708 --> 00:32:31,041
379. That's our majority.

398
00:32:31,125 --> 00:32:32,333
The crystal number.

399
00:32:32,416 --> 00:32:34,458
We can count on New York and the rest.

400
00:32:34,541 --> 00:32:36,541
Illinois will be solid.

401
00:32:37,875 --> 00:32:40,541
I have no faith
in the wisdom of delegates, Chester.

402
00:32:41,041 --> 00:32:43,458
They seem to derive
a unique kind of communal joy

403
00:32:43,541 --> 00:32:45,125
in falling prey to human error.

404
00:32:45,208 --> 00:32:48,750
Well, when we're in need
of extra chuckles,

405
00:32:49,375 --> 00:32:50,458
brass knuckles.

406
00:33:04,458 --> 00:33:05,500
Gentlemen!

407
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,625
We'll now move to a vote
with peace, dignity, and decorum.

408
00:33:12,833 --> 00:33:19,333
Alabama is 16 for Grant,
three for Sherman, and one for Blaine.

409
00:33:19,416 --> 00:33:22,458
The state of Arkansas
bestows all its 12 for Ulysses Grant.

410
00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:26,666
It's not over yet, sir. Just in the A's.

411
00:33:26,750 --> 00:33:29,916
We from Illinois
have resolved 24 votes for Grant…

412
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,625
Forty-two. We're owed 42.

413
00:33:31,708 --> 00:33:33,291
…and ten for Blaine.

414
00:33:33,375 --> 00:33:36,041
Indiana goes two for Grant,

415
00:33:36,125 --> 00:33:39,083
twenty-five for Senator James Blaine,

416
00:33:39,166 --> 00:33:40,833
two for John Sherman.

417
00:33:41,791 --> 00:33:43,583
We don't have it. It won't work.

418
00:33:43,666 --> 00:33:49,125
Ohio pledges its 44 votes
for the Secretary, John Sherman.

419
00:33:49,208 --> 00:33:51,375
Pennsylvania will go 33 for Grant,

420
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,666
twenty-two for Blaine,

421
00:33:53,750 --> 00:33:54,958
two for Sherman,

422
00:33:55,041 --> 00:33:59,083
and one for Congressman James Garfield.

423
00:34:05,333 --> 00:34:07,875
Well, someone's having a bit of fun, Jim.

424
00:34:09,708 --> 00:34:11,666
Rhode Island pledges its eight...

425
00:34:15,125 --> 00:34:18,041
The final count stands at 305 for Grant,

426
00:34:18,125 --> 00:34:19,375
282 for Blaine,

427
00:34:19,458 --> 00:34:24,083
94 Sherman, 32 Edmunds,
31 Washburne, ten for Windham,

428
00:34:24,166 --> 00:34:26,000
and one for James Garfield.

429
00:34:26,083 --> 00:34:28,458
-Has Grant won it?
-He's got a plurality, but not a majority.

430
00:34:28,541 --> 00:34:30,791
No. They go again.

431
00:34:39,666 --> 00:34:42,458
You don't want Grant on this ticket
any more than I do.

432
00:34:42,541 --> 00:34:45,208
John, the two of us,
we can put an end to this.

433
00:34:45,291 --> 00:34:47,041
My men will not support you.

434
00:34:47,125 --> 00:34:48,375
And even if they did,

435
00:34:48,458 --> 00:34:50,875
you would still need the votes
of Washburne and Edmunds.

436
00:34:50,958 --> 00:34:52,875
And I will fight for everyone

437
00:34:52,958 --> 00:34:57,500
if the end result is I get
to wipe that smile off Conkling's face.

438
00:34:57,583 --> 00:34:59,125
You should listen to yourself.

439
00:34:59,208 --> 00:35:01,291
Do you honestly think
you'd be any better than Grant?

440
00:35:01,375 --> 00:35:05,000
I do. John,
I think you'd be better than Grant.

441
00:35:05,083 --> 00:35:06,500
But you have no path.

442
00:35:09,333 --> 00:35:10,625
No path.

443
00:35:19,333 --> 00:35:22,083
-We'll talk after this.
-Thank you, sir.

444
00:35:22,166 --> 00:35:24,000
Hello, sir.
It's a great honor to meet you.

445
00:35:24,083 --> 00:35:25,708
It was you, wasn't it?

446
00:35:25,791 --> 00:35:27,833
It was me, sir.
I was very impressed by your speech.

447
00:35:27,916 --> 00:35:29,041
Oh, very kind.

448
00:35:29,125 --> 00:35:31,125
You do realize I'm not running.

449
00:35:31,208 --> 00:35:32,208
I do.

450
00:35:33,166 --> 00:35:36,833
My task, as I understood it,
was to vote for the man most capable.

451
00:35:37,416 --> 00:35:39,958
I believe that to be you, sir.

452
00:35:40,625 --> 00:35:42,083
You mistake me.

453
00:35:42,166 --> 00:35:43,583
My support is for Sherman.

454
00:35:44,250 --> 00:35:48,458
You can vote for him or anyone else,
but you will dare not use my name again.

455
00:35:49,458 --> 00:35:51,583
We're the party of Lincoln.

456
00:35:51,666 --> 00:35:53,833
We ought to live up to it for once.

457
00:36:02,333 --> 00:36:04,000
Fran, it was a silly mistake.

458
00:36:04,083 --> 00:36:08,166
It was a silly mistake. I was...
I was only trying to be of help.

459
00:36:15,333 --> 00:36:18,291
Do you remember
how restless you were as a boy?

460
00:36:18,375 --> 00:36:20,833
All those little wagers we'd make?

461
00:36:21,625 --> 00:36:22,791
Ten cents, was it,

462
00:36:22,875 --> 00:36:26,208
if you could just keep
your arms and legs still for five minutes?

463
00:36:27,583 --> 00:36:29,875
I always lost that bet.

464
00:36:29,958 --> 00:36:33,541
And you would sneak me a dime anyway
when Father's back was turned.

465
00:36:41,750 --> 00:36:43,583
I will never forgive myself

466
00:36:43,666 --> 00:36:45,916
for running off to school
and leaving you alone with him.

467
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,041
No, no.

468
00:36:47,625 --> 00:36:50,166
You're not to blame for any of that. No.

469
00:36:57,291 --> 00:36:59,916
George spoke
with a physician this morning.

470
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,541
The man knew of a place.

471
00:37:04,333 --> 00:37:05,458
A place?

472
00:37:09,708 --> 00:37:10,708
Oh.

473
00:37:14,208 --> 00:37:16,208
It'd only be for a short while.

474
00:37:16,958 --> 00:37:19,916
And you could come back
to your newspaper afterwards.

475
00:37:25,833 --> 00:37:27,625
This is what you want from me?

476
00:37:29,583 --> 00:37:30,916
It's right, isn't it?

477
00:37:33,416 --> 00:37:34,708
It's healthy.

478
00:37:42,125 --> 00:37:43,500
I trust you.

479
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,666
If that's what you think is best.

480
00:37:51,750 --> 00:37:52,875
My…

481
00:37:54,333 --> 00:37:57,125
Passion can get the better of me.

482
00:38:00,416 --> 00:38:04,208
But it's your passion that sets you apart.

483
00:38:04,291 --> 00:38:06,208
It's what makes you remarkable.

484
00:38:20,625 --> 00:38:21,625
The 12th vote's in.

485
00:38:22,625 --> 00:38:24,375
Grant holds and gains one.

486
00:38:24,458 --> 00:38:27,458
Blaine drops to 279.

487
00:38:27,541 --> 00:38:30,083
Sherman's up two to 97.

488
00:38:30,583 --> 00:38:31,666
It's a deadlock.

489
00:38:33,583 --> 00:38:36,208
Roscoe!

490
00:38:37,166 --> 00:38:39,958
Recast our republic!
This is a racket!

491
00:38:41,291 --> 00:38:44,333
Gentlemen! Please!

492
00:38:44,416 --> 00:38:49,958
Be not fooled by the guru
with the turkey gobbler's strut!

493
00:38:50,458 --> 00:38:51,541
Gentlemen!

494
00:38:52,541 --> 00:38:56,708
We must hold fast as a party.
Gentlemen, I beseech you.

495
00:38:56,791 --> 00:38:58,625
Chairman, I beg of you…

496
00:39:21,250 --> 00:39:24,416
Mister, please?
I haven't eaten at all today.

497
00:39:25,333 --> 00:39:26,833
Please, mister.

498
00:39:27,875 --> 00:39:28,875
Not now.

499
00:39:55,458 --> 00:39:59,000
South Carolina is 11 for Grant.

500
00:39:59,083 --> 00:40:00,625
One for Blaine!

501
00:40:01,333 --> 00:40:02,958
Two for Sherman!

502
00:40:03,041 --> 00:40:04,625
Christ, he won't quit.

503
00:40:04,708 --> 00:40:08,500
By now he's promised more ambassadorships
than there are nations on Earth.

504
00:40:09,250 --> 00:40:12,291
What number vote are we at? 20? 21?

505
00:40:12,375 --> 00:40:13,958
Thirty-four, Senator.

506
00:40:16,166 --> 00:40:17,125
Senator?

507
00:40:17,208 --> 00:40:21,708
Don't mind me, Jenkins.
I'm just… staking out my rafter.

508
00:40:23,208 --> 00:40:25,416
Wisconsin will give two votes for Grant.

509
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:27,750
-Shit.
-One vote for Blaine.

510
00:40:27,833 --> 00:40:28,666
Shit.

511
00:40:28,750 --> 00:40:33,625
And 16 votes for the man from Ohio,
James Garfield.

512
00:40:39,500 --> 00:40:41,625
Uh, Mr. Chairman, sir.

513
00:40:41,708 --> 00:40:44,416
Ohio rises to submit a question of order.

514
00:40:44,500 --> 00:40:46,166
Yes, I imagined you might.

515
00:40:46,250 --> 00:40:48,333
I challenge
the correctness here.

516
00:40:48,416 --> 00:40:52,708
Surely no man has the right to announce
a person's name without their consent.

517
00:40:52,791 --> 00:40:54,625
Such consent I have not given.

518
00:40:54,708 --> 00:40:58,500
The gentleman from Ohio
does not state a question of order.

519
00:40:58,583 --> 00:41:01,375
-Mr. Chairman, I'm not asking...
-Sit down, Congressman.

520
00:41:01,458 --> 00:41:05,041
No person having secured a majority,
another ballot will be taken.

521
00:41:05,125 --> 00:41:06,166
Thank you.

522
00:41:10,250 --> 00:41:14,000
Did James Garfield,
of all people, really just win 16 votes?

523
00:41:14,083 --> 00:41:15,708
Seventeen, actually.

524
00:41:15,791 --> 00:41:18,041
Can't forget
the little shit from Pennsylvania

525
00:41:18,125 --> 00:41:20,416
who's thrown in for him
the last 33 cycles straight.

526
00:41:21,333 --> 00:41:24,583
Get him back in line, Chester.
We're not bleeding one more vote.

527
00:41:27,875 --> 00:41:28,875
John.

528
00:41:29,666 --> 00:41:31,708
-Oh.
-Well, there he is.

529
00:41:31,791 --> 00:41:34,333
The great man from Ohio,
Mr. James Garfield.

530
00:41:35,666 --> 00:41:38,000
I've never been
so fucking humiliated in all my life.

531
00:41:38,083 --> 00:41:40,041
I will not accept any of those votes.

532
00:41:40,125 --> 00:41:41,791
I yield every single one to you.

533
00:41:41,875 --> 00:41:43,500
It doesn't work like that, Jim.

534
00:41:43,583 --> 00:41:46,458
Well, understand,
when I pledge my loyalty, Mr. Secretary,

535
00:41:46,541 --> 00:41:47,541
I do not waver.

536
00:41:47,625 --> 00:41:48,625
Loyalty?

537
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,291
Nobody makes a speech like that
unless he craves it for himself.

538
00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:10,666
Alabama's 20 votes for Grant.

539
00:42:11,250 --> 00:42:15,333
All 12 of Arkansas for Ulysses Grant,
and let this thing be ended now.

540
00:42:16,041 --> 00:42:17,875
-Hallelujah.
-Amen.

541
00:42:17,958 --> 00:42:20,166
Connecticut goes
one vote toward Grant,

542
00:42:20,250 --> 00:42:23,375
and another 11 for Jim Garfield.

543
00:42:24,791 --> 00:42:27,041
Illinois goes 24 votes for Grant,

544
00:42:27,125 --> 00:42:28,833
six for Blaine,

545
00:42:28,916 --> 00:42:31,208
and seven, Garfield!

546
00:42:33,333 --> 00:42:38,000
Delegates from Iowa
give our 22 votes to Garfield.

547
00:42:39,708 --> 00:42:42,833
No, this is a bad-faith vote.
I demand a hold on these proceedings, sir.

548
00:42:42,916 --> 00:42:45,750
-You're...
-We are all of sound minds, Senator.

549
00:42:45,833 --> 00:42:49,916
Are you? You can kiss
the deputy treasury goodbye, motherfucker.

550
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,750
Maine moves her 16 votes
from Blaine to James Garfield!

551
00:42:59,083 --> 00:43:02,166
Make the same appeal, in my name,

552
00:43:02,250 --> 00:43:06,875
to Maryland, Michigan,
and every delegate who has voted for me.

553
00:43:08,125 --> 00:43:11,125
Six for Grant,
and ten for Garfield!

554
00:43:11,208 --> 00:43:14,166
Four Grant, 42 Garfield!

555
00:43:15,083 --> 00:43:18,541
And by the way, 21 for Garfield!

556
00:43:18,625 --> 00:43:20,375
I want all of New York.

557
00:43:20,458 --> 00:43:23,083
Nebraska goes six for Garfield!

558
00:43:23,166 --> 00:43:26,000
New York goes 50 Grant!

559
00:43:26,083 --> 00:43:28,083
Twenty, Garfield.

560
00:43:29,166 --> 00:43:31,250
Twenty votes from New York, you goddamn...

561
00:43:32,125 --> 00:43:33,875
It's a free vote, Senator!

562
00:43:35,708 --> 00:43:37,500
No, no, no, no. Stop! Stop it.

563
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Stop. Gentlemen...

564
00:43:39,083 --> 00:43:44,916
Sincerely, I'm very flattered,
but I simply cannot...

565
00:43:45,708 --> 00:43:50,875
-I cannot...
-Ohio pledges its 44 votes… to Garfield.

566
00:43:50,958 --> 00:43:53,333
No... Stop it. No. No!

567
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:54,875
Take it back.

568
00:43:54,958 --> 00:43:57,000
It's already done, Congressman.

569
00:43:57,583 --> 00:43:58,416
Oregon…

570
00:43:58,500 --> 00:43:59,625
John. Please.

571
00:43:59,708 --> 00:44:00,916
…six for Garfield!

572
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,000
John.

573
00:44:02,791 --> 00:44:03,958
John!

574
00:44:04,958 --> 00:44:06,875
See you in four years, Roscoe.

575
00:44:06,958 --> 00:44:09,750
Vermont switches
its ten to Garfield!

576
00:44:10,541 --> 00:44:13,041
Wisconsin votes 20 for Garfield.

577
00:44:27,333 --> 00:44:29,958
-Excuse me. Uh, what's going on?
-It's Garfield.

578
00:44:30,041 --> 00:44:31,791
He's making a break for it.

579
00:44:34,833 --> 00:44:36,625
Who the hell is Garfield?

580
00:44:41,416 --> 00:44:43,250
Order, gentlemen! Order!

581
00:44:47,125 --> 00:44:48,625
Three votes for John Sherman.

for James Garfield, the man from Ohio!

586
00:45:21,708 --> 00:45:26,250
So what say you all?
Shall the nomination be made unanimous?

587
00:45:29,750 --> 00:45:32,000
Gentlemen, please.

588
00:45:39,875 --> 00:45:42,250
James A. Garfield of Ohio…

589
00:45:45,291 --> 00:45:47,208
I rise to move

590
00:45:51,041 --> 00:45:56,333
that the man be named unanimously
as the nominee of this convention.

591
00:46:09,916 --> 00:46:12,375
Hoorah for James Garfield,

592
00:46:12,458 --> 00:46:16,083
the next President of the United States!

593
00:46:35,458 --> 00:46:36,791
Woo!

594
00:46:44,291 --> 00:46:46,208
It's yours, Congressman.

595
00:46:47,208 --> 00:46:49,375
You didn't ask me if I wanted it.

596
00:46:49,958 --> 00:46:51,791
Everyone wants it.

597
00:47:01,583 --> 00:47:02,958
Congratulations.

598
00:47:06,916 --> 00:47:08,791
What's your next move, Senator?

599
00:47:09,291 --> 00:47:12,375
What else? We gut the bastard.

600
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,458
Thank you very much. Thank you.

601
00:47:31,416 --> 00:47:32,500
Sir!

602
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,625
We expect great things!

603
00:47:38,666 --> 00:47:40,125
And I of you.

604
00:47:40,625 --> 00:47:41,625
Excuse me.

605
00:47:42,791 --> 00:47:44,916
Grand Pacific Hotel, please.

-Garfield!

611
00:48:03,250 --> 00:48:06,125
Garfield! Garfield! Garfield!

All his things have been cleaned...

616
00:48:20,583 --> 00:48:21,791
Son of a bitch!

617
00:48:29,333 --> 00:48:31,833
-Here you are, my good man.
-Thank you so much.

618
00:48:33,458 --> 00:48:35,458
What line of work are you in?

619
00:48:35,541 --> 00:48:37,166
Politics.

620
00:48:37,250 --> 00:48:40,291
I'm going to help
get a man elected to the presidency.

621
00:48:40,958 --> 00:48:41,958
Hm!
