Don't make me
get out there!
Look at what we've done
to each other!
Get out of here, jerk!
Doesn't this awful traffic
bug you into action? Huh?
Would you like to support
my campaign
for stalled mass transit?
Doesn't this suck?
Get out of here,
you lunatic!
Grant!
The monorail, your monorail.
We can have it
across the city
in five years, if even that.
And it'll pay for itself
in less than
a Seattle heartbeat.
And yet McIver
wants a debacle
that'll cost a fortune.
Why does he want this?
For the greenbacks,
my fine feathered friends,
to plump
his already pot-belly,
money-hungry
construction pimps
that fill up
his campaign coffer!
They call it light rail.
What does that even mean,
light rail?
My butt hole!
It's crazy lies,
lies on top of lies.
So he'll continue
to rape this city,
but I love this place.
I love it.
I love it so much
that I've carved
its seal onto my arm.
So give me your endorsement.
Rise above it all!
We can't offer you
our endorsement.
monorail more than I do.
In fact, I'm the
only one who showed up
to this little function
thing of yours today.
That's got to mean
something.
Which is why we can't risk
on fringe politics.
Fringe politics.
You mean, politics
that don't compromise?
That speak the truth,
which is the only way
to beat them, Clair.
Not by playing into their
conniving little fingers
like lambs
to the slaughter.
Please help us.
We can do...
I can do this!
Otherwise, you guys are just
another f***ing social club
on a list
sucking each other off!
All right, all right.
Listen, can I just...
can we just use
your name in public?
[ Laughs ]
Absolutely not.
God! Mmm!
What a f***ing
b*tch!
You know, grant,
you talk a lot of sh*t.
What we need to do
is embrace our position.
We're the little guys.
People like the little guys.
It's more satisfying
when they win.
Then why do incumbents
always get re-elected?
Because they stack
No, they rig
the f***ing system, man!
They choose how much money
you can spend,
what the jurisdictions are.
They even got those little
voter pamphlets rigged.
What are you
talking about?
The voter pamphlets,
you know, the things that
they send out in the election,
you know, or polls and sh*t.
They even got the little
government stamp on it
and everything.
Only in Seattle,
you can't say anything
about the incumbent in it.
You can't even mention
the incumbent's name.
It's the law.
It's a joke.
You sure about this?
That's why I verbalized it.
You know, when
