My Fellow Americans Page #2

Synopsis: Kramer and Douglas, two former presidents from opposite ends of the political spectrum, become reluctant allies when they become the target of a conspirator in President Haney's administration. The two ex-presidents realize they have an enemy within the government and set out to find evidence that will clear their names. The search takes them across the Southern Appalachians; along the way they meet a homeless couple, thwart kidnapers in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant, and find themselves marching in a gay pride parade.

Let's talk about popularity.

There was only. one assassination

attempt on me. You had three.

Two the woman in Phoenix does

not count! She had a starter pistol!

Stop.

Just stop.

We're here because a man died.

We can attempt some semblance

of civility, can't we?

I know I can.

You're a whore, admit it.

Admit you're a big whore.

Name three women in Dc. you

didn't bang when you were in office.

What am I talking? Name one.

- Screw you.

- Blow me.

When I appointed

General Charles Sherman...

.to the Joint Chiefs...

...i knew he was a man

with a dream.

I have always believed

that dreams are like our children.

Buy a new speech, Russell.

That dead general's lucky.

He won't have to hear it again.

Grab me a towel, will you?

I don't like to interrupted

while on the bike. What's going on?

I'm afraid a situation's come up.

The Democrats may have some

damaging information about...

...olympia...

Olympia?

We've had that buried for years.

I was thinking...

...when all this took place,

Kramer was President.

Possibly we can lay the scandal on him.

He didn't know anything about it.

Could always make it appear he did.

A little fiddling with the records,

some rewriting of history.

I don't know, Carl.

That's tricky stuff.

That'd open a whole new bag of cats.

My honest opinion. If this matter

isn't taken care of immediately...

...no less than the presidency

is at stake.

Don't worry. I can promise this

is the last you'll hear about it.

Hear about what?

Mrs Sherman told me

Charlie had a favorite song.

One that cheered him up.

Please God,

don't let him quote lyrics.

I can't think of anything more

fitting than to share with you...

...the words from that song.

Oh, Christ.

"Muskrat Susie

"Muskrat Sam

"Do the jitterbug out in Muskrat-land

"And they shimmy

"And Sammy's so skinny. "

How are you doing?

Hello, Senator.

Good to see you.

Nice to have seen you.

Mr. President, hello.

What a lovely surprise.

And how is my favorite

TV newsperson?

I'm your favorite?

I thought Diane Sawyer was.

She is. How is she?

Rumor has it a major scandal

is about to blow...

...and it may involve you.

No, not me, Kaye.

My nose is clean.

I heard that in your last year

in office you took a very generous...

..."fee"...

...for delivering a defense contract.

I'm just...

...looking for a confirmation.

Are you saying that

I took a kickback.?

Excuse me, got a minute?

Looks like Haney's involved

in this Kramer kickback story.

But a defense contractor's prepared

to say he paid Kramer off.

Then that's that Case closed

No, it's not. Our sources tell us

Haney's shifting the blame.

Word is, it was done over lunch.
