Isn't she, though?

I'm sure a lady like her would be

simply enchanted by that ring.

- You think so?

- In fact...

her gratitude would be unbounded.

Unbounded?

Yeah. Gee, how much you want

for that thing?

Well, circumstances force me

to sacrifice it for $500.

$500... dollars.

Dollars?

Yes.

Oh, well, uh...

I was lookin' for a blue one.

$500.

Would you spring for five bucks, mac?

Five bucks?

Oh.

It does have a little

blue in it, doesn't it?

Say, you take pennies?

25...

Now, you just be yourself there,

Mr. Daniels.

I'll ask your wife a few questions,

then we'll bring the cameras

into the den.

- Sort of surprise you at work.

- All right, places.

Five, four...

three, two, one.

You're on the air.

Welcome to "Meet Your Candidate".

This morning we're going to meet

Wilby Daniels and his family.

Mr. Daniels is the man

who many people feel,

is undertaking the impossible task

of trying to unseat

long-established D.A. John Slade.

My name is Wilby Daniels, and I'd like

to take this opportunity to...

- Brian, don't stare at me, all right?

- I wasn't staring.

Hello.

I'd like to take this opportunity

to introduce myself.

My name is...

[announcer] But the name John Slade

is familiar in this town.

It may be difficult

for the man at the polls

to switch from long-established

voting habits

to put an unknown man

in this responsible office.

Oh, here's Mrs. Daniels now.

- How do you do, Mrs. Daniels?

- How do you do?

We understand you're

Mr. Daniels' campaign manager.

[Mrs. Daniels] I felt it

incumbent upon myself,

as a wife and as a woman,

to place my shoulder to the wheel

alongside my husband,

and I urged him to pick up the gauntlet

that lay before him.

And I assured him that as his wife

and his counselor,

I would be by his side

down the long, dark corridor

that lay ahead.

What do you do when you're not

running his campaign?

I love to paint and I read.

I, uh... I find the Lake poets

very, uh... scintillating.

I wonder what that guy meant.

"Her gratitude will be unbounded."

Pretty sharp, huh?

Hey, look.

There's some writing on the back.

"In canis corpore transmuto."

Wonder what that means?

I'll tell Katrinka it's "I love you"

in Swahili. She won't know.

Fellow citizens, for many years now...

You're getting a little gray, Dad.

Fellow citizens...

No!

You look just like Elwood.

I am Elwood.

Elwood? Elwood?

And now I'd like you to meet...

Stay, Pop.

Brian, where's your father?

Uh, he had to go.

- Go get Daniels.

- Yes, sir.

Well, we'll meet Mr. Daniels later.

This, I presume, is your son Brian

and the family dog.

Mrs. Daniels?

What's the dog's name?

- Bowser.

- Elwood.

How's that?
