Grassroots Page #2
Come on, Phil.
To there... And, no.
And all the way,
all the way over here.
Phil, they're just cutting
our city into pieces!
And even worse,
oh, look at her.
Look at her, Phil.
She's so beautiful.
This is what we need
to save right here!
And you want to know the
first thing that I do
when I get elected?
I'm gonna walk
into the city chambers
in my beautiful
white fur.
I will not
be made a victim
of your cowardly ways!
Never!
Save the polar caps!
Build the monorail!
Save the planet,
you fucks!
Reowr!
Doesn't it matter to you
that you have no
experience in politics?
I'm a journalist.
People respect that.
You're an unemployed
music critic.
People
know the difference.
All right, you know what?
I'm running in the primaries
and I'm gonna get myself
into that general election
and then I'm gonna win
this thing.
And you know
what else, Phil?
You're gonna do it with me.
It's the reason
you got fired.
It's destiny. It is.
Have you wondered
exactly when it was
that you first
lost your mind?
[ Laughs ]
What's so funny?
Have you even considered
McIver is black?
And?
And he's, like, the only
black city councilman.
Okay, so what?
What, are we practicing
reverse racism now?
No, I'm practicing
my power of thinking.
I mean, grant is white
and he's unqualified.
He's bombastic.
It's not funny,
it's embarrassing.
I mean, grant's gonna get
laughed out of the primaries
and so are you.
Why are you
even doing this?
Does it matter?
Okay, so you got fired
so now you can just say
f*** you to everyone?
You're smart.
Thanks, dad.
I don't tell you
that enough.
I am gonna run
Grant Cogswell's
city council campaign!
1, 2, 3, Cogswell.
For city council!
Sh*t, what he said, dude.
What did he say?
[ Cheering ]
[ Laughs ]
You're
my campaign manager.
You're the one who sent
out all those emails.
Where's at least
somebody?
You were supposed
to follow up with...
I hate this chair.
It hurts my back.
Why would you
have chairs like this
in your coffee shop?
It's not my coffee shop.
Fix this, Phil!
Fix it!
Wow!
Hey!
Hey! You think you
look like a politician
when you storm off
like that?
I mean, waitresses, they
vote, too, you know.
I hate these shoes!
I need better
arch supports!
[ Horns honk ]
Look at this.
People whine and b*tch
about traffic all day long,
but do they think
of a way out? Huh?
You screw mass transit
for the working class
and you screw it
for the entire system!
McIver's flushing
Seattle down the toilet
and he doesn't
even know it!
Hey! Doesn't
this suck, huh?
Doesn't it?
Doesn't it suck?
Look at where you're
sitting right now, huh?
