You're very becoming this morning.

These ladies want

to see the President.

Our President has the weight

of the free world on his shoulders...

...and he doesn't have time

to see any old person.

Hello, girls.

How are you?

Come on in.

The President will see you now.

Not you, Henry.

That's all right.

I'm late for an interview anyway...

...with the Nobel Committee.

- Right.

I'll be a monkey's uncle...

...if these aren't

the yummiest cookies I've ever had.

Thanks. It's a secret recipe.

Secret, eh?

Anyway...

...there doesn't seem

to be any point to it.

Point to what?

The war.

See, girls...

...we're fighting the Communists

because Communism is immoral.

That's the whole point.

Don't you think it's more important

what's going on here?

What do you mean?

Well, I mean...

...nobody at our school's

worried about Communism...

...but everybody talks about Mac

Washington because he got killed there.

- And Betsy's brother just got drafted.

- He's maintaining.

He's maintaining?

Good for him.

I think people would like you

better if you stopped the war.

Well, don't worry your

pretty little heads. Okay?

I think we know what we're doing.

I guess so.

Can we walk Checkers now?

Yeah, go ahead. Have a ball.

Secret recipe, eh?

I'm feeling lightheaded.

These are scrumptious.

I've gotta tell you,

I haven't felt this way in...

Again? They must never let him out.

I know. Would you look

at all that sh*t?

Oh, I mean, poo-poo.

I think it was left.

That's because you couldn't go right.

Well, let's ask someone.

Or not.

Come on.

Let's go, Checkers. Come on.

Who the hell are you?

We're walking the dog, Checkers,

and we sort of got lost.

We went left because

you couldn't go right.

And we're looking

for the President's office...

...because that's who

we walk the dog for.

We're really sorry.

Sh*t!

Oh, I'm so sorry.

- We brought your dog back.

- We didn't know!

What in bejesus is going on?

All right, settle down.

What's going on, Bob?

They walked in on the shredding.

They actually saw

documents being shredded?

And the cash for the payoffs.

Checkers pooped.

The President's dog doesn't poop.

He "does his business."

I'll take care of it.

I've got a way with young people.

They trust me.

Why were they shredding all that paper?

Papier-mach is a hobby of mine.

Nice painting of a boat.

Step right here, actually.

I want to have a little

private chat with you.

You know, today...

...you ladies gave me some very, very

good counsel in foreign affairs.

So in addition to being

official dog walkers...

...I'd like you to be

my Secret Youth Advisers.

Which means you mustn't

say a thing...

...about anything that happens
