Head of State Page #3
Now, we'll lose, of course,
but the minorities will be happy.
The minorities will be happy
and they will vote for us in 2008...
because we've shown we support them.
And the white people will vote for us...
- because our guy isn't black.
- You got my vote!
Geller, see if you can track down
this Mays Gilliam.
Go check our accounts.
Give me one good reason
why I should go along with this.
Don't you get it, Debra?
I intend to run for President in 2008.
Now give me one reason why you shouldn't.
He would take a lot of work.
We can run a background check...
but it's obvious
he's not a party line candidate.
He's just some kid
who thinks he can make a difference.
Don't worry. Go out there,
You get 25 points in the polls,
consider it a win.
Make sure he doesn't embarrass us.
After this is over, we get to work.
When I'm President, I'll take care of you.
Help me. They locked me out of my office.
I know. The mayor is fed up with you.
How many times have I told you?
You got to quit trying to fix sh*t.
I could've got you into the council
next term. Now you're red-lined.
Shannon is taking over your district.
They need to smooth over the mall
situation, that bus thing is heating up.
- They don't trust you.
- I'm not the one stealing people's houses.
That's what your problem is.
You got to work with us.
That sh*t you pulled over there
cost the city money.
Makes the mayor look bad.
Now, contrary to popular belief,
politics is no place to express yourself.
You want to get in, you got to fit in.
And look at you.
Grow up, you got to dress better.
Even Puff Daddy wears a suit to court.
I'm sorry, brother, but ain't nothing I can do.
- Nice car.
- Ain't it, though?
Got it for a song at a repo auction.
Got nowhere to go
What can you do when you're feeling low
Man, I want to know
Got nowhere to go
What can you do when you're feeling low
And your car just got repo'd
Here we are.
Mays Gilliam, Debra Lassiter.
Nice to meet you. Take a seat.
We know what happened today.
We know you lost your job.
How do you know that? It just happened.
We're the government. We know everything.
We'd like you to do something for us.
Sure, I'd love to work
on a presidential campaign.
I'll make phone calls, send out fliers.
Who have you guys chosen
to run against Lewis?
That's exactly what we wanted
to talk to you about.
We'd like you to run for President.
- Of what?
- The United States.
- Of what?
- Of America.
Which America?
North...
America, Mays.
Get out of here!
We're not joking.
We want you to be the nominee
for the office of President...
