Okay, get closer together. 368 00:19:55,490 --> 00:20:01,590 Good morning, New York. This is Roger Murdoch reporting live from the home of 369 00:20:01,590 --> 00:20:04,990 Mr. Philip Drummond, independent candidate for city council. 370 00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:07,830 Mr. Drummond will be with us in just a few moments. 371 00:20:08,090 --> 00:20:12,530 Meanwhile, I'm here with Mr. Drummond's very unusual family. 372 00:20:13,170 --> 00:20:15,190 Would you kids like to just introduce yourselves? 373 00:20:15,530 --> 00:20:16,970 Hi, my name's Kimberly. 374 00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:18,190 My name is Wolf. 375 00:20:18,450 --> 00:20:19,670 My name is Arnold. 376 00:20:20,750 --> 00:20:23,490 If any kids are up watching us early, we're not a cartoon. 377 00:20:25,850 --> 00:20:27,270 And your name, ma 'am? 378 00:20:27,650 --> 00:20:29,310 Adelaide Brubaker, the housekeeper. 379 00:20:29,730 --> 00:20:32,250 I'm 71 years old, but that didn't keep Mr. 380 00:20:32,450 --> 00:20:35,710 Drummond from hiring me because Mr. Drummond is a man who cares about the 381 00:20:35,710 --> 00:20:40,150 citizens. If you think the foregoing was a political announcement, you bet your 382 00:20:40,150 --> 00:20:41,150 pantyhose it was. 383 00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:47,290 And then I'd like to say a word about my dad, too. You know... 384 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,720 My dad is really a super person. I'm not just saying that because I'm his 385 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,980 daughter. I'm saying that because I have known him all of my life. 386 00:20:53,180 --> 00:20:58,580 Yeah, you know, what man do you think would adopt two black kids like me and 387 00:20:58,580 --> 00:20:59,519 brother Arnold? 388 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,000 You know, my dad may not be here right now, but if he was, he'd be white. 389 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,760 I get the impression from looking around here that Mr. 390 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,700 Drummond must be a fairly wealthy man. Is that true? Oh, geez. Well, don't hold 391 00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:15,420 it against him because he's got money. 392 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:16,920 What's wrong with money? 393 00:21:17,230 --> 00:21:18,149 I love money. 394 00:21:18,150 --> 00:21:20,310 I'd like to have a blanket made out of it. 395 00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:24,810 Mr. Drummond worked very hard for every cent he's got. 396 00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:27,110 No, he didn't. He inherited it. 397 00:21:28,090 --> 00:21:31,610 Only some of it, Arnold. He got most of it because he worked very hard. And, you 398 00:21:31,610 --> 00:21:35,510 know, he's really very smart. Yep, he is smart, all right. You know, if our dad 399 00:21:35,510 --> 00:21:39,270 can run a big corporation like he does, he ought to know how to run a crummy 400 00:21:39,270 --> 00:21:40,270 city like New York. 401 00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:44,090 He's trying to get out of the house and not run out of town on a rail. 402 00:21:44,350 --> 00:21:45,730 Oh, oh, hi. 403 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,760 Oh, I didn't mean all of it was crummy. 404 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:50,700 Just the crummy part. 405 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,000 Oh, hi, gang.
