They stare back at him stupefied.

BOB:

(upbeat)

Well -- I think that's it.

CUT TO:

INT. WEST WING HALLWAY - LATER

He moves down the corridor toward the Oval Office with Bob

and Reed at his side.

A long line of secretaries flanks the entrance.

BOB:

... You've got that radio address to

go over and the American Bar Association

at the Monroe tomorrow night...

The President pauses at one of the desks and fixes a stare.at

one of the secretaries, (RANDI). She looks up from behind a

pdir of clear-pane glasses, and blushes at him effectively.

MITCHELL:

(smiling at Randi)

The Monroe?

REED:

Uh, yes, sir. The Monroe Hotel...

Randi smiles back at him.

MITCHELL:

(whispering to Reed)

Did you get someone to double for me

there, out front?

REED:

We're working on it.

MITCHELL:

(still under his breath)

Try to find someone who looks like me

this time. That last guy was a joke.

REED:

We're doing our best, sir.

He nods and winks at Randi again before heading inside the

Oval Office. The President starts humming "Hail to the Chief"

quietly to himself...

CUT TO:

EXT. DURENBURGER'S CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH - DAY

Red, white and blue flags fly above the used

cars to announce Durenberger's grand opening. A SCRATCHY

RENDITION of "HAIL TO THE CHIEF" PLAYS from a makeshift P.A.

SYSTEM and a little stage has been erected in front of the

cars. DURENBURGER himself stands alone at the mike.

DURENBURGER:

This is a real special moment here at

Durenburger's Chrysler Plymouth...

Ladies an' gentlemen, I wantcha to

give a real warm welcome to...

(pause)

The President of the United

WIDER:

A dead-ringer for the President appears,

perched on the back of a four hundred

pound pig. He is DAVE KOVIC, our

hero. Dave enters from "stage right"

wearing an Uncle Sam hat and waving

triumphantly to the crowd. A teenage

*boy pulls the pig forward by a rope.

DIFFERENT ANGLE:

He makes the victory sign with both hands and dismounts the

PIG who lets out a SNORT. Dave bounds up to the small

platform where he is greeted warmly by Durenburger. Dave

hands him a small stack of 3x5 filing cards while "HAIL TO

THE CHIEF" CONCLUDES its final strains. Dave salutes the

crowd.
