Now, you all made me

some real lightweight slacks...

...about three, four months ago.

Kind of a light brown and light green.

Rather, soft green and soft brown.

Like powder on a lady's...

...face, and now,

I'm what they call "well-endowed"...

...so you give me the average man's pants...

...I get all bunched up,

you know, like riding a wire fence.

So give me another couple of inches

from where my nuts hang down...

...round to the back of my bunghole.

All right. Thank you very much.

- You were saying?

- What is important to me...

- Sir, that just put us over the top.

- Call for unanimous consent.

Show horses, workhorses.

You only get one.

Go vote your conscience.

Nice of you to join us.

Well, I heard there was a seat available.

And as the motorcade makes its departure...

...the presidential car is followed

by the Secret Service vehicle...

...which is followed by Vice President

and Mrs. Johnson.

Oh. Heh.

No, I'm... I'm perfectly fine.

Guessing you Kennedys don't do

a lot of deer hunting.

Well, when Kennedys fire weapons,

it's usually at Nazis.

Lot of Nazis in Hyannis Port?

We need to know if you're running.

Quite comfortable in my post

as majority leader.

Then perhaps you'd consider

endorsing my brother?

I'll endorse whoever wins

our party's nomination.

And there's no chance

that'll be you, correct?

How many different ways

you want me to answer that?

One would suffice.

I have zero intention

of running for president.

I wanna know why you're

putting these signs up.

For starters, Johnson has not said

that he's running for president.

The reason I know is because I'm f***ing him!

No, I'm not f***ing him, I am him!

His victory today was bolstered, in part...

...by the large Catholic presence

in Wisconsin.

- Up next, will be Illinois, New Jersey...

- What?

Sir, I think it's time you announce.

The next real test for Mr. Kennedy

will be in West Virginia...

I haven't made up my mind yet.

Then tell me why I came all the way...

...from Texas to run a campaign

that doesn't have a candidate?

Well, John, I imagine, to bask

in the pleasure of my company.

Sir, I have been on the phone

all evening with delegates.

Every one of whom is for Kennedy today

and would be yours tomorrow...

- ...if you just announce you were running.

- A Catholic won in a Catholic state.

Big f***ing deal. You think

he could do that in West Virginia?

This country is not gonna elect

a Catholic president.

He's starting to run away from the pack.

Nominations are not won

on the campaign trail.

They are won on the convention floor.

Bird, get me a drink, will you?

All right.

He better decide if he wants this.

He's never wanted anything more
