My Fellow Americans Page #4

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.

Too little, too late.

You'll never catch us.

I'm pretty sure

I'll catch one of you.

Excellent work, Caldwell.

I'll be in touch.

What'd he find?

Charlie Reynolds is the frigging guy

who says I took the kickback.

Don't say "frigging. " If you must use

the F-word, go for the gold.

Why would he say that?

I think he's covering for Haney.

it's Haney's mess

and he's shifting it to me.

I didn't think he was that smart.

He learned from the master.

I met him once. Haney brought him

into the office for lunch.

As I remember, we sat around

talking about golf most of the time.

Now Reynolds is getting ready

to release an affidavit saying...

...that he was alone with me.

Don't do that with the liquor.

it's so... george Bush.

Wait.

Wait a minute.

If the meeting took place

in the Oval Office...

...then there's a record of it

in the log naming everyone present.

This is easy.

I send Caldwell to the archives...

...and get some hard evidence

I can shove in Reynolds' face.

Well done, dear.

Before we check out, do you want me

to steal the little shampoos?

Oh God, Margaret,

come on now. Please.

I already got them.

It's not there?!

I have the appointment log

right in front of me.

I see your name, Charles Reynolds'

name, and at the bottom...

...the word "Olympia" circled in red.

Sir?

Don't be a moron, Charlie! You're

saying you offered me a kickback...

...and I took it?!

That's how I remember it.

As I recall just the two of us

were there.

You were pleased about the deal.

Just the two of us?

Are you sure about that?

There's nothing more to discuss.

We have lots to discuss

How's this for o. peners?

You and your buddies tampering

with documents in the archives?

That'll be hard to explain

when you get subpoenaed.

I'm sorry, sir. I have no idea

what you're talking about.

I'm going to have to stand

by my original statement.

You'll have to stand alone.

- Let's go, Bruce.

- It's Jim.

Yeah, you're black and tall.

Whoopdee-frigging-do.

Mr. Reynolds...

...the president's here.

He just left.

No, another one.

Charlie, old buddy!

How about we take a walk?

Talk about old times.

I assure you...

...the arrangement was made

with President Kramer alone.

We're friends. I want to believe you,

but some people say it wasn't that way.

This is turning into

a huge political bomb.

Not that I mind, because when

it blows, my party's going to be in.

Look...

...Haney, Kramer,

one of them is going down.

Now the Democrats can offer you

immunity if you give us the name.

Now, come on, who took the kickback?

Please tell me it's Kramer.

If it is I'll give you

a big kiss on the lips.

Carl, I'm in a very tough spot here.
