Evan Almighty Page #5

Come on, BMIC, Big Man in Congress:

Evan Baxter, the shark on the move:

House Resources Committee

is now in order:

The Chair recognizes the congresswoman

from Tennessee

to lead the Pledge of Allegiance:

I pledge allegiance to the flag:::

I pledge allegiance to the flag

of the United States of America

and to the Republic, for which it stands:::

:::one nation, under me:::

:::one nation, under God:::

::indivisible,

with liberty and justice for all:

How long do you want to do this, son?

I've got all eternity:

Hey:
You okay, young man?

What happened?

You fainted:

Dropped like a leaf

during the Pledge of Allegiance:

Chuck Long,

Resources Committee Chairman:

Oh:
Oh: Congressman Long: Yes:

Oh, I'm so sorry about:::

Forget it! Many a man's been humbled

by his first day in Congress:

So, how'd you like that office?

Oh, it was great: Yes: Thank you, sir:

Not bad for a freshman dorm room, huh?

So here's the skinny:

I'm bringing you into my land use bill

because you strike me as the type of guy

who knows how to hit the ground running:

Yes, sir:
I read the bill, and it's great:

I just had a few questions:

Hey, I wrote the thing

and I have a few questions:

We'll get to the questions later:

So, you with us?

Yes, sir:
I'm in:

Wonderful!

I'll need you to put that into

a letter of intent,

as soon as you're feeling up to it,

of course:
You get yourself better:

Enjoy that office:

Thank you, sir:

He's exhausted from reading that bill:

I got woozy from just carrying it:

Evan, sit down:

Evan, what happened to you?

You can't faint during the Pledge

of Allegiance:
It's un-American:

Oh, good:
The doctor's here:

Say "ah:
"

Just go home, get some rest

and start on that ark: You hear me?

You're right on time:

Long just called: He's on his way with the

powers that be:
Who are they, Gene? Talk:

Congressman Jim Dodd,

head of Ways and Means:

But don't worry, sir,

he's definitely not "way mean:"

That's speculation:

I don't know him personally:::

That's too much, Gene: Who else?

Congressman Richard Stamp,

head of Commerce,

and Bob Hughes is Transportation:

I have a draft of your support letter:

Sounds like a plan:

Are you all right?

I'm good:

You sure you're good? Okay:

Good morning, chief:

Good morning, Rita:

Are you okay?

I'm fine:

You don't look so good:

That's what I said:

You're all jumpy: Are you on that Fen-Phen?

Guys, I'm fine:
I'll be inside:

No, no, no, no:

No:
Okay: No, no: No: No, no: No:

No, no, no:
Oh, my gosh!

Guys! No, no! Get out! Get out! Oh, my hair!

Gentlemen, welcome:

What an honor to have you here:

I'm Marty Stringer:

I'm Congressman Baxter's chief of staff:

This is Rita Daniels, his executive assistant:
