for the next six months.
I don't see anything
to worry about.
Wait, I-I'm paying you,
you-you work for me--
You're trying
to run my life here!
Wallace, Wallace, Wallace...
You are paying me
to make you a new life!
Politics! And in order
for me to do that,
all the elements that go into it.
It's the only way I work.
That means, framing
the overall strategy...
...as well as deciding
all the specifics.
The look of the campaign,
the look of the billboards.
Bumper stickers, what colors
they're going to be?
It means the polling, the ads,
radio, TV, newspapers.
It means coordinating every piece
of information out of this office...
...to make sure it fits with
...the people are
worrying about.
Or what they're
feeling good about!
But, aside from the campaign themes,
I want to address...
- ...some of my long-term plans!
- Yes, I'm sure they're great,
but they're not important.
See, my job is to get you in.
Once you're there,
you do whatever your conscience
tells you to do.
...before the largest crowd
of the campaign.
It now appears the bloody
terrorist attack succeeded only...
...in adding momentum
and conferring legitimacy...
...on the one-time
underdog Cepeda.
Well, Mr. Billings,
this is not good news.
It certainly is not,
Your Excellency.
Do you know
how it happened?
Well, we know that none of
our people were involved.
Perhaps, the guerillas.
I'll know more tonight.
How will the bombing
affect us?
It's hard to know.
Cepeda could gather
tremendous support.
The only thing I know for sure...
...is that Pete St. John will milk
this thing for all it's worth.
- Milk it?
- Exploit. Use.
An incident like this
is tailor-made for St. John.
He managed the Cepeda campaign
brilliantly.
He'll probably manipulate him
into the presidency.
That is what I fear.
We have spent considerable
amounts of money down there.
His Majesty will not be pleased,
Mr. Billings.
Nor am I, Excellency.
These have been
difficult years for us.
Prices keep falling.
Populists like Cepeda keep...
...nationalizing their oil
and entering the market.
Here, we have senators
and congressmen talking of...
...solar generation and
electrical wind generators...
...and other such--
impractical ideas.
important to us, Mr. Billings.
We're well prepared.
I feel completely secure
about Senator Hastings.
And the man who will be
replacing him in...
- ...Oheeo?
- Ohio.
Thank you, Mr. Billings.
A superb candidate,
Your Excellency.
Who will be in charge
of his campaign?
Well, we have one of the
top campaign consultants.
