Gabriel Over the White House Page #3

---

further service to you?

How about a glass of beer?

- Remember this is the White house.

- I thought it was the Senate.

I enjoyed the

president's speech.

It was straightforward

and to the point.

Sure!

Prosperity is just

around the corner.

A miracle will rise again.

When she rises, wake me up

and we'll all rise together.

Mind if I use your desk

for a game of solitaire?

Go ahead.

Get a load of Thieson...

Hey Thieson, take the world off your shoulders,

you're beginning to look like Atlas.

Oh, yes Senator,

that's all taken care of.

Mr Beekman...

The pesident would like to see you.

Well?

Miss Malloy is the president's

confidential secretary.

Confidential or personal?

- What are her duties?

- What's home without a woman?

Maybe she'll bring that beer.

Gentlemen... the president.

Sit down please... no need to be formal

just because I'm president.

Well, what's the order of the day?

I saw Hargraves this morning

and he's pretty sore.

What have we done to him?

Well, he feels though he's been

sort of left out of the picture.

We can straighten that out.

What would you suggest?

Ambassador to Greece?

What do you say?

If it's alright with the boys,

it's alright with me.

Ambassador to Greece.

That's one way to get rid of him.

I hope he has good-looking legs.

If he hasn't, he certainly

will look funny in those short pants...

they have to wear over there

when they appear at court.

- Great guns! What are these?

- Need to be signed.

Entrants for American consul in Shanghai.

Appointment for postmistress at

Little Lake. Sells a lot of stamps.

Installing a sewer system in Puerto Rico.

Well, here goes!

Where did this come from?

A present for you.

What is it?

Springfield Memorial Society.

With that... what?

Lincoln freed the slaves with that.

Well...

Here goes the Puerto Rican garbage!

You could do important things

with that pen, if you wanted to.

For instance?

Well, you're president, aren't you?

Pendy, I'm afraid

you're an idealist.

There are a lot of things

you don't understand.

A lot of things the

people don't understand...

and don't want to.

- Don't they?

- No.

You see, Pendy,

the Party has a plan.

- And I'm just a member of the Party.

- Of course.

It's just 5 minutes before

your car leaves for Annapolis.

And I couldnt get

your detective magazine.

It wont be out until noon tomorrow

in New York.

Well, we'll get the War Department

to fly it down in an army plane.

We're the President of the United States,

aren't we?

You know, Judd...

It's turning quite cold...

Be careful, won't you...

Look after that throat.

Uncle Judd!

Hello, Jim, how are you?

Where have you been all day?
