Hello?
Oh, hi, Shirley.

Yeah, well, of course
I sound happy.

My husband just told me
he loves me.

Oh, you won't be able
to have the rally

at your house tonight?

Well, of course
we can have it here.

No, no. Darrin won't mind.

He likes me to do things
like that. Very civic-minded.

He just told me
he was proud of me.

No, no.
No trouble at all.

Bye.

Hm.

Would you take a seat,
please?

Pardon me.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm so glad you could come.

It is my privilege
to introduce to you

the man who will soon
be the next councilman

from Morning Glory Circle,

Mr. Ed Wright.

Thanks for your warm reception,
and to you, Mrs. Stephens,

for the use of your home
on such short notice.

I appreciate your taking time
out of your busy lives

to come here tonight

so we could talk
about my campaign.

We are all familiar

with the record
of John C. Cavanaugh,

and I don't think
it's necessary to warn you,

as citizens of this community
as to the consequences

of keeping this man in office
for another term.

We have been handled
and maneuvered

to suit the purposes
of the present administration,

and I think
it's about time we stop it.

Hi.

Hi.

What is all this?

Isn't it exciting?
I was gonna call you.

Call me about what? What are
all those people doing here?

Shh.

Darrin, you're gonna be
awfully proud of me.

Are you sure?

You always wanted me to take an
active interest in the community

and be interested
in civic affairs.

Yes, honey,
but all those people--

There's a lot going on in this
town that you don't know about.

There's a lot going on in
this house I don't know about!

Well, Shirley Foster
was going to have

the Ed Wright For Councilman
meeting at her place,

but at the last minute
she couldn't,

so I said
we could have it here.

Darrin, he's wonderful,
and you should hear him speak.

He's a Korean war veteran,

a graduate lawyer,
and he's very bright.

So really, Darrin,

I know he'll be wonderful
for Morning Glory Circle.

That's why I knew
you'd be proud of me.

Hold it, honey, hold it.

Why couldn't Shirley Foster
have the meeting at her house?

Well, her husband works hard
at the office all day

and when he comes home
he doesn't like people around.

Oh.

My opponent,
John C. Cavanaugh,

has been dipping his fingers
into city funds for too long.

Why is it that no outside
company has ever managed

to secure a bid for any,
any civic project?

The roads, parks, schools,

the auditorium,
the library--

All built by firms owned
totally or in part

by John C. Cavanaugh!

The I.J. Fentriss Cement
and Concrete Company.

They helped build
our elementary school.

Its facade collapsed
within two years, remember?

Cavanaugh talked about
an investigation.

There never was one.
The Osterhout Pipe Company.

Cavanaugh gave them the contract
to lay our leaking gas mains.

And the construction
engineers

who designed
our deteriorating library.

And now,
the costliest project of all,

the Morning Glory Circle
storm drain and water system.

Here. Photocopies.
Photocopies of those contracts

granted to the same incompetents
by John C. Cavanaugh.

Now, this is the sort of thing
we-- you and I--

Have to put a stop to
once and for all!

Abner,
isn't it wonderful?

Not bad, but the potato salad
is a little salty.

You mean
this guy Cavanaugh

has been getting away
with murder like this

for the past
10 or 12 years?

As far as we can tell, yes.

I've been pushing for
a governor's investigation

ever since the start
of the campaign.

That is the crummiest thing
I ever heard.

It should be obvious
to any school kid

that the entire
improvement program is--

Well, it's a Cavanaugh
monopoly.

Uh, Darrin, it's
getting awfully late.

Mr. Wright
must be dead tired.

Well, I am getting a bit weary,
but...

having interested someone
as enthusiastic as yourself,

I can sit up all night.

It's strange
how much can go on

in your own community without
you knowing anything about it.

That's what I said.

That's where
I heard it.

I tell you, Darrin,
this water project

is the straw that could
break Cavanaugh's back.

You should make that the focal
point of your entire campaign.

That's what
I'm trying to do.

I've got an idea to run off
posters at the office tomorrow.

That'd be fine, Darrin, fine.
I'd really appreciate it.

Uh, well,

good night,
everybody.

Good night, Mrs. Stephens.

Good night,
sweetheart.

Maybe a sketch of Cavanaugh
with his thumb in the dike,

dressed up like
a little Dutch boy.

We'll figure out some kind
of a slogan to go along with it.

Maybe, uh--

Politics doesn't make
strange bedfellows.

Doesn't make
any bedfellows at all.

Great, Darrin.
Just great.

Well, these, of course, are for
the straight campaign 24 sheets.

There has to be a certain amount
of hard sell.

It's traditional.
People expect it.

I suppose so.

For the subtler tastes,
we have these cartoon layouts.

I think they'll be
very effective.

That one I like.
Little Dutch boy.

That's Cavanaugh
with his finger in the dike.

The caption reads:

"Portrait of a hero
with his fingers in everything."

I've told everyone about
how much help you've been

and intimated you were
practically my campaign manager.

Well, if that's what you want,
you've got it!

Okay.

Mr. Cavanaugh, the latest polls

show a 16 percent change
in Wright's favor.

How significant do you feel
that to be, sir?

Not very.

How much do you think
the water project controversy

has had to do with Wright's
popularity upswing?

Controversy?

He labels it the key issue
of the campaign.

Well, I can't
be held accountable

for Mr. Wright's labels.

What about the governor's
investigation, sir?

What about it?

Will there be one?

I doubt very seriously

that the governor
will be coerced

into wasting his time
and the state's money

by the irresponsible
accusations

of a politically ambitious
youngster.

We can be proud of the finest,
most modern, most efficient

water and storm drain system
in the country.

Be assured it will serve
the citizens of this community

long after Mr. Wright

and John C. Cavanaugh
are gone and forgotten.

That was
councilman John C. Cavanaugh,

and this is your reporter,
Charles Turner,

from the steps of city hall.

Now we return you
to the station and--

Pretty sure of yourself,
aren't you, Mr. Cavanaugh?

Well, you just better
watch your step,

because
we are the bright girls!

Rally around for Wright, girls!
Boom, chicka--

That isn't funny,
Mother.

On the contrary,
it's hysterical.

What was that incantation
you were gyrating through?

That isn't an incantation.
It's a cheer.

What does it do?
It doesn't do anything.

Then why were you doing it?

Because you see,
Mother, in--

Never mind.
You wouldn't understand.

Oh, please, Samantha.

Every time I see you,

you seem to be getting
more and more confused.

I'm going to a political
rally tonight.

What's so confusing
about that?

Politics?
Mm-hmm.

You, in politics?

Well, you needn't laugh.

Politics is a very
serious business.

Only to politicians,
my dear child.

My husband happens to be
very proud of me.

For what?

For taking a position.

I don't know what you're talking
about, and neither do you.

You know,
it surprises me sometimes

how unaware you can be

for having lived
as long as you have.

Oh, don't be vulgar,
Samantha.

Well, it's true.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to go get ready.

I suppose all this
was Darwin's idea.

Mother, Darwin's idea was that
man was descended from apes.

This was my idea.

Descended from the ape?

Man?

Mm-hmm.

It's called
the theory of evolution.

Pity to disillusion him.

Other way around,
actually.

And it is no longer a secret,
my friends and fellow citizens,

that John C. Cavanaugh
and his whole corrupt machine

are on their way out.

I know it
and you know it,

and what's more,
John C. Cavanaugh knows it!

The people will be fooled
for just so long,

and then they demand
a reckoning.

Too many important issues

have been pushed aside
unanswered.

Too many real
and challenging problems

have gone unheeded
and unsolved.

Too many private interests
have been served,

and too many public interests
have gone unsatisfied.

I say to John C. Cavanaugh,

we want answers,
and we want them now.

Stand up with me
before the people,

before all the people...

and give me the answers
I want to ask in your behalf.

Any time between now
and election day,

I have offered to meet
with Mr. Cavanaugh

in a television debate

to discuss every issue
in the open,

no punches pulled.

And I mean
every issue,

including
the Morning Glory Circle

water and storm drain
project.

Whoever delivered
Mr. Cavanaugh's message,

you can tell him it'll
take more than an omelet

to keep me
off his back!

Abner, did you ever hear
such a wonderful speech maker?

Abner, did you ever?

Abner! Abner!

I can't hear a thing, Gladys.
I'm wearing earmuffs.

You ready to go home?
My hands are freezing.

I have just been handed

the late edition of the Gazette.

The governor has ordered
a complete investigation

of the water main
and storm drain project.

What do you say to that,
Cavanaugh?

It's only 10 seconds
to air time,

and Cavanaugh
hasn't shown up yet.

You don't think he will,
do you?

I doubt it. I think
Ed's as good as elected.

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

For the past two weeks,

Councilman Cavanaugh
has ignored my invitation

to appear with me
on tonight's program.

The debate,
under these circumstances,

would seem impossible,

but, present or not,

one day Mr. Cavanaugh

will be forced to answer
these questions.

One.

Now that an investigation
is already underway,

what excuse can he offer

for an administration
corrupt with nepotism,

graft and private interests?

If we can take those allegations
one at a time, Mr. Wright,

perhaps I can deal with them
to your satisfaction.

Now, shall we go from
the beginning, Mr. Wright?

You have, uh,
accused me

of nepotism, graft,
corruption and, uh--

How did you put it--
double talk.

I've also been accused

of blocking investigations
and obstructing justice.

Perhaps we can clarify

what seems to be the main issue
in this campaign.

We would all appreciate that,
Mr. Cavanaugh.

Fine. Now, let me not waste
any more of our viewers' time.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it is my pleasure to present
Mr. Merrill Sedgwick,

who ironically enough
is here tonight

at my opponent's instigation.

Mr. Sedgwick is from
the state capital,

a member of the governor's
investigatory staff.

Mr. Sedgwick,
Mr. Wright.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Sedgwick.

We are honored
to welcome a member,

a distinguished member,
of the governor's committee

to Morning Glory Circle.

I've spent
the past two weeks

quietly investigating

Morning Glory Circle's
new water system

from stem to stern,

and I have nothing
but praise

for its planning,
construction and materials.

Moreover,

I'm astonished
at the conservative low cost.

This fine water system should
last for many, many years.

It has my unqualified
endorsement.

Thank you.

My appreciation,
Mr. Wright,

for this opportunity
afforded me

to, uh, set
the record straight.

Good night,
my fellow citizens.

If I've said it once,
I've said it a thousand times.

Women should not get
mixed up in politics.

You never said it to me.

Don't split hairs, Sam.

The least you could've done
is found out

if Ed Wright knew
what he was talking about

before you dragged me
into this mess.

I didn't drag you in,
Darrin.

Did I not come home a couple
of weeks ago

and find my
living room full of people

with women screaming,
"We are the bright girls!

"Rally around for Wright, girls!

Boom, chicka, chicka,
chicka, boom!"

I was only trying to be
part of the community.

You said you were proud

when I took an interest
in civic affairs.

So I was wrong.

I'm not so perfect that I can't
be wrong once in a while.

The truth
of the matter is,

Cavanaugh trapped everybody
into making--

Go ahead and say it.

Making fools of themselves.

And wait till they find out
about this downtown.

I could be finished in the
advertising business like that!

I don't see why.

What if Cavanaugh should
decide to sue us for slander?

What then?
He wouldn't do that!

Why wouldn't he?

We called him a thief,
didn't we? On television?

And the state investigator

proved that he was right
and Wright was wrong.

Wright is not wrong.
Cavanaugh is just shrewd.

You bet your life
he's shrewd.

He let us hinge
our entire campaign

on that water project,

knowing all the while it would
stand up under investigation.

Everything else he's done
has been dishonest.

If only they'd investigate
some of those things.

But they didn't,
and they have--

Sorry, darling.

Mother?

Meet me downtown
immediately.

[Samantha] Is that you, Mother?

[Endora] Of course, dear.

Have I ever let you down?

We really shouldn't be here,

but I had to find out
about Cavanaugh.

Still in politics, Samantha?

Oh, really!

Mother, this is very serious.

Serious for whom?

Darrin.

Oh, he's so naive.

Doesn't he understand

that this latest project
of Cavanaugh's

is the only legitimate thing
the man has done in his life?

We have no proof of that.

Just looking at the man
is proof enough!

We have to have
the facts, Mother.

Oh.

What would you
like to know?

The deal on the
I .J. Fentriss Cement Company.

There, dear.
Thank you.

Well? Hmm?

He's a crook, all right.

Mother, would you mind getting
the file on the gas main?

It was handled by
the Osterhout Pipe Company.

O or P?

O.

Oh.

Ah.
There you are.

Well?

You were right, Mother.

According to these records,
Darrin and Mr. Wright

pounced on Mr. Cavanaugh

at the only time he was honest
in his whole life.

Oh, that husband of yours
is a lulu.

Mother!

Well, anyway, you know
it's funny, isn't it?

Shall we go?
I think we'd better.

And thanks
for your help, Mother.

And they're not going to!

Oh, there's a simple way
to handle this.

But Donald wouldn't approve.

On the other hand,

what he doesn't know
won't hurt him.

Good evening, I'm Abner Kravitz,
your civil defense block warden.

Good evening, Mr. Kravitz.
Good evening, Mrs. Stephens.

You may not have to evacuate
your house yet,

but if I were you,
I would keep my radio on KXIW

and keep some warm clothes

and a rubber life raft
near the front door.

Rubber life raft?
Yeah. Don't you have one?

No! What do we need
a rubber life raft for?

A large water main burst
at the corner of Elm and Forest.

Flooded most
of the neighborhood.

They say it's under control,

but I like to be prepared
for the worst.

Water main?

[Kravitz] Yeah, the whole
storm drain collapsed!

If you'll excuse me, I've got
a few more houses to go to.

Good night, Mr. Stephens.
Good night, Mrs. Stephens.

Good night,
Mr. Kravitz.

Hmm. Flood.

Isn't that amazing?

The length that
some people will go to

just to win an argument!

What do you mean?
How'd you do it?

Just what
are you inferring?

Are you gonna stand there
and tell me

you're not responsible
for twitching up this flood?

Yes, I am.

Well, that drain
didn't burst by itself.

Good evening.
Good evening, Mother.

You'll have to excuse us.
We're having a fight.

What about?

It doesn't
concern you, Endora.

Oh, I'm not so sure
about that.

Have you heard
about the flood?

Now, Mother...
You mean it was you?

I'd certainly like to know
who else.

Well, what did you do that for?

You've been raving
at my daughter,

and everyone else has been
perfectly miserable,

because a water main
hasn't burst,

so I just thought
I'd burst one.

What good is that going to do?

Well, it should prove
that Mr. Sedgwick was wrong.

And they'll probably
reopen the investigation

and examine all of
Mr. Cavanaugh's past dealings.

That is utter nonsense.

Hello?

Yes, Ed.

Are you serious?

Yes. Goodbye, Ed.

What'd he say?

Sedgwick called Ed
and said that he was wrong,

and they'll probably reopen
the investigation

and examine all of
Mr. Cavanaugh's past dealings.

Isn't that
what I said?

Yes, Mother.

Isn't that
what he wanted?

Yes, Mother.

Well, what's he
so unhappy about?

You wouldn't understand, Mother.

I don't know.
It's just that...

I don't know.

It's all pretty mysterious.

I suppose I should
stop fighting it, but...

[Darrin] I don't know.

I don't know.

Good afternoon, councilman.
Come in, and congratulations.

Hello, Samantha.
How are you?

Hi, Ed.
Congratulations again!

Thank you, Darrin.

I'd like you to meet
my mother.

Mother, this is our new
councilman, Ed Wright.

Oh,
how do you do?

Oh, yes. I saw you
on television, young man.

It was most effective.

You're very kind, Mrs.--?
Mrs.--?

Waters.

You're very kind, Mrs. Waters.

It's the greatest thing
I've seen

since the
Lincoln-Douglas debates.

Say, your mother has
a great sense of humor!

Yes, hasn't she?

What's the latest
on Cavanaugh?

Well, we're going along with
the investigations as planned,

but Cavanaugh
has disappeared.

Really?
Mmm.

The general consensus
is he's skipped the country.

Oh, that's too bad.

Yes, we'd certainly
like to prosecute him.

But we're going to have
to find him first.

I think he'll probably
turn up sooner or later.

Do you really think so,
Mother?

I'm sure of it.

I'd give anything to have him

right here in the palm
of my hand.

I'll drink to that.

You have accused me of graft,

corruption and double-talk.

My appreciation, Mr. Wright,

for affording me
this opportunity

of, uh, setting
the record straight.

Night,
my fellow citizens.
