My Fellow Americans Page #3

Synopsis: Kramer and Douglas, two former presidents from opposite ends of the political spectrum, become reluctant allies when they become the target of a conspirator in President Haney's administration. The two ex-presidents realize they have an enemy within the government and set out to find evidence that will clear their names. The search takes them across the Southern Appalachians; along the way they meet a homeless couple, thwart kidnapers in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant, and find themselves marching in a gay pride parade.

- Really?

- Just you and the contractor.

Very cozy.

Who is this contractor?

Charlie Reynolds.

Oh, you're kidding.

You know I would tell you

the name of the contractor...

...if I was your favorite

TV newsperson.

But since I'm not...

Take care.

Did you hear that?

I did. It's a crock

and we both know it.

It's a kick in the balls.

Sorry, sweetheart.

I'm a politician's wife.

I have a set of my own.

I know you and Charlie were friends

but he's in over his head.

You're going to Washington

for the book convention?

It'd be a great time to talk to him.

I'd like to help you, Joe,

but I'm not getting involved.

If you do this for us...

...the Party'll be grateful.

We both know you want another crack

at the Oval Office.

I told you I was thinking about

running again. Just thinking.

The Party wouldn't back me.

Besides they wouldn't.

- Would they?

- Of course, they would.

I'm the Democratic Chairman.

We need your help.

If you're seriously considering

running again, you'll need ours.

When did this supposedly happen?

It was seven years ago.

I don't understand it.

Why me and why now?

Who'll benefit from framing me?

The President of the United States.

I thought about your offer.

Not that I'd run again...

...but you really think

the Party'd back me if I helped out?

It's already been discussed.

Really?

Now that I think of it

there is an extra bonus to this.

I either get the son of a b*tch

I hate...

Good to see you.

...or the son of a b*tch I really hate.

I'll do it.

Get me the name of that contractor.

You must dig that up.

I'll get right on it.

We agreed the zipper would be

in the up position.

it's part of the deal.

I wonder what they'd pay me

if I tattooed their logo on my ass.

- I could ask, sir.

- Just drive the cart!

I've actually thought about

playing professionally.

I do't know about that

I think the ladies' tour likes

their payers to be more masculine.

Hold this.

Thank you, Russ. That's for you.

You son of a

I'm so sorry

and I'm so embarrassed.

And I hope this doesn't scare you

away from golf.

Because it's such a great sport.

I know your people,

the black people...

...don't enjoy the game.

it's because you can't get into

the nice clubs, the restricted ones.

But blacks are so good

at many sports.

Maybe it's good that we white folk

have a sport you guys aren't so good at.

Mr. Vice President, this way.

- Is there a problem?

- There'll be less of one if you come.

So long.

I'm getting a cramp.

Interesting game.

You're playing pretty tough.

Tough enough to win, I hope.

Maybe.

You never know when

you'll get stuck with a bad lie.

Here I come, fighting back

from behind
