Dear Eleanor Page #5

---

- Ellie?

- My fellow citizens, let no one doubt...

- Where's the western hemisphere?

- ...that this is a difficult

and dangerous effort

- on which we have set out.

- It's right here.

No one can foresee precisely

what course it will take,

and what course or casualties

will be incurred.

Many months of sacrifice

and self-discipline fie ahead.

Months in which both our patience...

- Commies want us bad, Little E.

- ...and our willpower will be tested.

God willing, that goal will be achieved.

Thank you and good night.

I think we should go home.

I'm not going home.

And besides, even if we did,

we'd still be in the western hemisphere.

I knew those Soviets were up to something.

You know, they've been quiet

for a really long time.

- Good night, Ellie.

- Good night.

There it goes!

What are you doing out of your house?

I should set you free

behind the Bank of America.

But I won't.

Max would kill me,

and it would ruin my chances with her.

What was I thinking, Little E?

What's Mrs. Roosevelt gonna think

when those two crazy girls show up?

They're gonna call the cops and

they're gonna get arrested for trespassing.

Then I'll go to Folsom

for forging and impersonating

a former First Lady.

We have to stop them from ruining my life.

Yours, too.

Jack! Henry!

Where's your mother's piano?

It's right there, Dad.

Right where?

- Right where it's always at.

- I see it.

Yeah?

Robert!

What, Dad?

Where's the piano?

It's right in front of you, Dad.

Ellie?

She's at Max's.

They're working on

an outer space project for school.

Yeah, she won't be back until next week.

- Where's the baby?

- Kitchen.

Boys...

Why don't you play something for us

on the piano, Dad?

What the hell is the bird

doing in the house?

Bird? What bird?

- Don't you give a hoot no more, Dad?

- Yes, son.

I give a hoot!

Zion National Park.

- Where'd you put the map?

- It's in the back seat.

- Should be right on top, right?

- Yeah.

Well, it's...

- It's not back here.

- Yes, it is.

No, it's not.

- It's not?

- No.

I think I left it at home.

- You think anyone's gonna find it?

- I don't...

No. No one goes in my room. It's fine.

Yeah, Mrs. Wax, I'm just trying

to find my daughter. Boys!

So, yeah, so unless their project

has something to do...

- Dad!

- ...with making themselves invisible,

they're not here. Now I...

- Dad!

- What is it, Jack?

- When Ellie gets back from New York...

- Right, yes.

...can we go to Kentucky Fried Chicken?

It starts here, Manteca, where we are,

goes across the entire country,

all the way across

to Eleanor Roosevelt, okay?

Ellie's gone.

Okay, Johnny, I need you to go put out
