DAVE:

(doing a decent Bill

Mitchell)

Thank you, Don. Thank you for that

warm introduction.

(pause)

You know it's wonderful to be here

today amongst so many smiling faces.

REVERSE ANGLE - CROWD

Eight to ten people stand stonefaced amongst the Plymouth

Horizons.

ON DAVE:

DAVE:

And, Don, let me assure you from one

chief executive to another, that there

fl no Chrysler Plymouth like

Durenburger's Chrysler Plymouth.

A few employees applaud. Dave nudges Durenburger who takes

out one of the cards.

DURENBURGER:

(reading/monotone)

Thank you, Mr. President. It certainly

is nice of you to be with us here today

considering your busy schedule and

all.

DAVE:

Well, Don -- it's true that I have a

busy schedule. But I've got a feeling

that when folks find out about your

five hundred dollar cash rebate on all

`93 LeBaron and LeBaron convertibles

you're gonna be even busier than I am.

Dave looks toward the crowd for another reaction but nothing

comes back. An eight-year-old GIRL tugs at the bottom of

ther MOTHER's dress.

GIRL:

Mommy, is that the President?

MOTHER:

(shaking her head)

I sure hope not.

ANGLE - DAVE

He leans closer to Durenburger

continuing with the routine.

DAVE:

You know, Don, it's not easy being

President. Why just the other day, I

was riding on Air Force One...

The PIG lets out a HUGE SNORT causing everyone to jump with a

start. A six-year-old KID starts to CRY while Dave glances

down toward the front row.

ANGLE-DAVE

He stops the routine and squints out

toward the crowd while the WAILING

CONTINUES. His parents try to comfort

the BOY but it doesn't do any good.

DAVE:

Hey, hey... What's the matter...

DIFFERENT ANGLE - DAVE

He dismounts the stage and stumbles on one of the steps.

Dave puts on the glasses that he normally wears and squats

face to face with the six-year-old.

DAVE:

(gently)

Hi...

(beat)

What's your name?
