So wasn't
the zoo fun, kids?

00:00:04,633 --> 00:00:06,198
Okay, to finish off
our field trip,
4
00:00:06,266 --> 00:00:08,499
we're going to take
a very special guided tour
5
00:00:08,566 --> 00:00:10,298
through the botanical gardens,
6
00:00:10,366 --> 00:00:13,132
so let's stay in one line,
keep together in a group.

(growling)
8
00:00:17,266 --> 00:00:21,032
We have a very special guided
tour of the botanical gardens,
9
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:23,132
so let's just see how
many of the exotic birds
10
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,932
we can spot
together.
11
00:00:24,999 --> 00:00:26,798
Oh, look at what beautiful
orchids they have here.
12
00:00:26,866 --> 00:00:28,332
(birds chirping)
13
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:30,898
That's it... stay
together in one line...

Mm-hmm.

knew, beyond a doubt,

what was going
to happen tomorrow?
32
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:39,032
What would you do?
33
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:41,265
There's no easy answer
34
00:01:41,332 --> 00:01:44,432
for a guy
who gets tomorrow's news today.

♪
36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,999
NEWSCASTER: ...the girl,
eight-year-old Priscilla Applegate
37
00:02:17,067 --> 00:02:18,499
of Highland Park, was unhurt.
38
00:02:18,566 --> 00:02:21,399
Her teacher said she managed
to wander from the group
39
00:02:21,467 --> 00:02:22,565
in spite of supervision
40
00:02:22,633 --> 00:02:24,899
by teachers
and accompanying parents.
41
00:02:24,967 --> 00:02:26,132
It was one of those parents...
42
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,132
Tune in to next
week's Wild Kingdom,
43
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,165
as Gary Hobson faces...
44
00:02:30,233 --> 00:02:32,732
Irritated squirrels.
45
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,832
So how does it feel
to be a hero?
46
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:37,899
Well, I was, uh,
just here at the right time,
47
00:02:37,966 --> 00:02:39,965
right place kind of,
kind of thing.
48
00:02:40,033 --> 00:02:41,866
How did you happen
to have chicken fingers
49
00:02:41,933 --> 00:02:43,898
on you?
50
00:02:43,966 --> 00:02:46,066
It was lunchtime.
51
00:02:46,132 --> 00:02:48,398
What were you doing
at the zoo anyway?
52
00:02:48,466 --> 00:02:50,032
What do you...
I wanted to get away.
53
00:02:50,099 --> 00:02:51,298
Is that all right?
54
00:02:51,365 --> 00:02:54,199
What, from the stress
from hanging out in a bar?
55
00:02:54,266 --> 00:02:56,232
Hey, maybe he likes the zoo.
56
00:02:56,299 --> 00:02:58,598
At least the animals
don't talk back.
57
00:03:02,366 --> 00:03:04,865
Here's a look
at that amazing home video
58
00:03:04,933 --> 00:03:08,066
that was shot today at the
Memorial Park Botanical Gardens,
59
00:03:08,133 --> 00:03:11,765
where a young girl nearly became
a meal for a hungry alligator.
60
00:03:11,833 --> 00:03:14,698
It's on again.
61
00:03:14,766 --> 00:03:15,765
...the gator with his lunch
62
00:03:15,833 --> 00:03:18,065
in time to carry the girl
to safety.
63
00:03:18,132 --> 00:03:19,765
So how does it feel
to be a hero?
64
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:21,232
Check this kid out.
65
00:03:21,299 --> 00:03:22,932
It was nothing, really.
66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,265
It was just the right time,
right place kind of thing.
67
00:03:25,332 --> 00:03:26,532
He's good.
68
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,498
And guess what?
He's from Callahan's district.
69
00:03:28,566 --> 00:03:29,498
So?
70
00:03:29,566 --> 00:03:30,732
Yeah, I know him.
71
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,132
He took over McGinty's place
for a while.
72
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:35,966
What do you think, Dutch?
Appoint him supervisor
73
00:03:36,033 --> 00:03:36,966
to finish out
74
00:03:37,033 --> 00:03:38,399
Callahan's term?
75
00:03:38,467 --> 00:03:40,632
I mean, we're only talking
three months here, right?
76
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:41,899
What do we know about him?
77
00:03:41,966 --> 00:03:43,932
He looks good on TV.
78
00:03:43,999 --> 00:03:45,799
That's more than I can
say about Callahan.
79
00:03:45,866 --> 00:03:47,432
(laughs)
80
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:50,232
I thought you were going
to appoint Declan.
81
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:52,698
No, the press
is watching this closely.
82
00:03:52,766 --> 00:03:55,532
Callahan's indictment caused
too much of a stink.
83
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,665
I mean, we could live
with the bribery charges,
84
00:03:57,733 --> 00:04:00,798
but those weekends at Lake
Geneva with the judge's wife?
85
00:04:00,866 --> 00:04:03,364
Whoever takes over
to finish out his term needs
86
00:04:03,432 --> 00:04:05,865
to be squeaky clean.
87
00:04:05,933 --> 00:04:08,199
Did the zoo reimburse you
for lunch?
88
00:04:08,266 --> 00:04:09,798
GARY: Uh, well,
no, I, I...
89
00:04:09,866 --> 00:04:13,831
I think we just found
Callahan's replacement.
90
00:04:16,933 --> 00:04:18,866
It's very simple.
91
00:04:18,933 --> 00:04:22,266
If a supervisor resigns
or retires early...
92
00:04:22,333 --> 00:04:23,399
Or is, uh, removed
93
00:04:23,466 --> 00:04:24,832
for running off
with the judge's wife.
94
00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:27,465
...someone is appointed
to finish his term.
95
00:04:28,566 --> 00:04:30,498
Why me?
96
00:04:30,566 --> 00:04:31,665
Well, you're a hero.
97
00:04:31,733 --> 00:04:34,232
The whole city saw you on TV.
98
00:04:34,299 --> 00:04:35,965
Look, what, are you nuts?
99
00:04:36,033 --> 00:04:37,266
I don't know anything
about politics.
100
00:04:37,332 --> 00:04:38,266
CHUCK:
What's to know?
101
00:04:38,332 --> 00:04:39,298
You kiss
a few babies,
102
00:04:39,366 --> 00:04:40,299
you hire your friends.
103
00:04:40,366 --> 00:04:41,398
Excuse me.
104
00:04:41,466 --> 00:04:43,298
I didn't know beans
when I was appointed,
105
00:04:43,366 --> 00:04:45,133
and I've been in office
four terms now.
106
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:47,632
Look, we're talking
three months here.
107
00:04:47,699 --> 00:04:49,132
If you don't like it,
108
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:50,932
you don't have to run
for reelection.
109
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,665
CHUCK:
Oh, come on, Gare, take it.
110
00:04:53,733 --> 00:04:55,232
Why don't you take it?
111
00:04:55,299 --> 00:04:56,232
Can I?
112
00:04:56,299 --> 00:04:58,132
No.
No.
113
00:04:58,199 --> 00:04:59,532
Look, guys, thank
you very much,
114
00:04:59,599 --> 00:05:01,765
but me and politics, we
don't get along too well.
115
00:05:01,833 --> 00:05:02,932
Thank you.
116
00:05:02,999 --> 00:05:05,399
(whispering): Hey,
Gary, are you crazy?
117
00:05:05,466 --> 00:05:08,532
This is the best thing the
newspaper's ever done for us.

playing hard to get.

Come on, man, I'm open.
131
00:05:41,233 --> 00:05:42,165

Hurry, Graciela.

00:06:01,332 --> 00:06:02,598
Get up!

00:06:02,666 --> 00:06:04,132
No, Graciela!

00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:10,598
(horn honking)
142
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,999
Oh!
143
00:06:19,066 --> 00:06:20,564
You scared me
to death.
144
00:06:20,632 --> 00:06:22,032
I'm okay, Mama.
145
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,232
Oh, thank God.
146
00:06:24,299 --> 00:06:25,331
And thank you.
147
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:27,798
You saved my daughter's life.
148
00:06:27,866 --> 00:06:29,898
Well, I was just, uh...
I was lucky.
149
00:06:29,966 --> 00:06:32,166
I was in the right place
at the right time.
150
00:06:32,232 --> 00:06:34,431
This corner is so dangerous.
151
00:06:34,499 --> 00:06:35,632
You see that?
152
00:06:35,699 --> 00:06:39,631
Little Bobby Ortega got hit
by a car here last year.
153
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:42,331
And he was my best friend.
154
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:45,298
We petitioned
Supervisor Callahan for a light,
155
00:06:45,365 --> 00:06:46,732
but he didn't lift a finger.
156
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,698
Oh.
157
00:06:48,766 --> 00:06:50,999
Well, uh, Callahan's out,
so maybe the,
158
00:06:51,066 --> 00:06:54,398
the next supervisor'll get you
a, a new light.
159
00:06:54,465 --> 00:06:55,632
(sighs)
160
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:57,899
You don't know much
about local politics,
161
00:06:57,967 --> 00:06:59,498
do you?
162
00:06:59,566 --> 00:07:01,498
Coveleski Construction uses
this street
163
00:07:01,566 --> 00:07:03,665
to get its cement trucks
to the highway.
164
00:07:03,733 --> 00:07:05,431
Time is money,
right?
165
00:07:05,499 --> 00:07:06,498
Yeah, I guess so.
166
00:07:06,566 --> 00:07:08,498
We'll never get
that light.
167
00:07:10,766 --> 00:07:12,665
(horn honking)
168
00:07:15,933 --> 00:07:17,865
MAGUIRE:
And as supervisor,
169
00:07:17,933 --> 00:07:20,698
I will abide by the codes,
bylaws, and statutes
170
00:07:20,766 --> 00:07:22,765
of the precinct,
the ward, and the city.
171
00:07:22,833 --> 00:07:24,065
And as supervisor,
172
00:07:24,133 --> 00:07:27,198
I will abide by the codes,
the bylaws, and the statutes
173
00:07:27,266 --> 00:07:29,532
of the precinct, the
ward, and the city.

Congratulations,
and welcome to the club.
175
00:07:35,533 --> 00:07:39,899
(indistinct chatter)
176
00:07:39,966 --> 00:07:41,465
Congratulations,
Supervisor.
177
00:07:41,533 --> 00:07:42,465
Molly Greene,
Sun Times.
178
00:07:42,533 --> 00:07:44,098
Mind if I ask you
a few questions?
179
00:07:44,166 --> 00:07:46,198
Come on, Molly, give him
a chance to get his feet wet.
180
00:07:46,266 --> 00:07:48,265
Oh, Molly Greene.
Uh... Gary Hobson.
181
00:07:48,333 --> 00:07:49,265
I know.
182
00:07:49,333 --> 00:07:50,565
No, I mean, I
know you know.
183
00:07:50,633 --> 00:07:52,065
I-I read your column,
though; it's very good.
184
00:07:52,133 --> 00:07:53,698
Oh, wow,
he can read.
185
00:07:53,766 --> 00:07:54,998
That's an improvement
over Callahan.
186
00:07:55,066 --> 00:07:56,132
All right, one question.
187
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:57,965
Supervisor Hobson,
what would you say is
188
00:07:58,033 --> 00:08:00,232
your strongest qualification
for holding office?
189
00:08:00,299 --> 00:08:02,532
Oh, well...
Other than gator monitor.
190
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,032
That's it. Because,
I mean, that would
191
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:06,132
really qualify you for more a
congressman or a senator's job,
192
00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:07,465
wouldn't you say?
193
00:08:07,533 --> 00:08:10,265
No, Miss Greene, I-I'll tell
you why I took this job.
194
00:08:10,333 --> 00:08:13,199
It's an opportunity
to do some good.
195
00:08:13,266 --> 00:08:14,531
Right.
196
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,799
Come on, I got some folks
I want you to meet.
197
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,932
One of Maguire's boys?
198
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,565
He don't know it.
199
00:08:22,633 --> 00:08:24,264
Should be interesting.
200
00:08:24,332 --> 00:08:25,799
Mm-hmm.
201
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:28,699
GARY:
Okay, so all I got to do is,
202
00:08:28,767 --> 00:08:30,832
I got to get that signed
and then I
203
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:32,165
get the ball rolling, right?
204
00:08:32,233 --> 00:08:34,232
Yeah, then it goes to
the supervising council,
205
00:08:34,300 --> 00:08:36,199
then the engineering
superintendent,
206
00:08:36,266 --> 00:08:38,199
and then you submit it for
a traffic board hearing.
207
00:08:38,266 --> 00:08:40,531
Okay, easy enough.
208
00:08:40,599 --> 00:08:42,232
You must be new to this.
209
00:08:42,299 --> 00:08:45,765
(horn honking)
210
00:08:47,266 --> 00:08:49,198
Peterson!
211
00:08:49,266 --> 00:08:50,831
I got a 20-man crew on the clock
212
00:08:50,899 --> 00:08:52,198
who are doing
absolutely nothing
213
00:08:52,266 --> 00:08:53,865
because a certain
civil engineer
214
00:08:53,933 --> 00:08:55,665
hasn't made
his inspection yet.
215
00:08:55,733 --> 00:08:57,065
I'm making an on-
the-site inspection
216
00:08:57,133 --> 00:08:58,498
for Mr. Hobson here.
217
00:08:58,566 --> 00:09:00,299
Yeah, get in the car.
You're costing me money.
218
00:09:00,366 --> 00:09:02,165
You're the boss,
Mr. Coveleski.
219
00:09:02,233 --> 00:09:03,232
Yeah, that's right,
I'm the boss.
220
00:09:03,299 --> 00:09:04,765
Come on.
221
00:09:04,833 --> 00:09:06,165
There.
Thank you.
222
00:09:06,233 --> 00:09:08,699
Hey, aren't you going
to fill out the rest of this?
223
00:09:08,766 --> 00:09:10,365
Hey, if he signed it,
he signed it, all right?
224
00:09:10,433 --> 00:09:11,999
Wait a second,
I need him to fill this out...
225
00:09:12,066 --> 00:09:14,732
And just who are you
supposed to be, huh?
226
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,532
Well, I'll tell you. I'm Gary Hobson;
I happen to be the new supervisor.
227
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,531
How do you do?
228
00:09:18,599 --> 00:09:19,532
Oh, yeah.
229
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,531
Stan Coveleski.
230
00:09:20,599 --> 00:09:22,231
Wait.
231
00:09:22,299 --> 00:09:23,899
Coveleski Construction?
232
00:09:23,967 --> 00:09:25,132
That's me, son.
233
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,032
If you want something built,
you come see Stan.
234
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:28,698
Yeah, so these are your, uh,
your cement trucks
235
00:09:28,766 --> 00:09:29,798
come barreling
up and down through here?
236
00:09:29,866 --> 00:09:30,799
Yeah,
237
00:09:30,867 --> 00:09:32,265
biggest fleet in the city.
238
00:09:32,332 --> 00:09:33,298
Yeah, well, lemme, lemme...
239
00:09:33,365 --> 00:09:34,332
Hey, no time to gab.
240
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,399
My number one rule is:
get things done.
241
00:09:36,466 --> 00:09:39,299
And son, if I'm talking to you,
I'm not getting things done.
242
00:09:39,367 --> 00:09:41,499
Well, your trucks that
come barreling down...
243
00:09:41,566 --> 00:09:43,432
(truck starts)
244
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:45,132
(tires screeching)
245
00:09:47,533 --> 00:09:50,332
MAN: Contractors built dwellings
at the specified 70-foot allotment
246
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,498
from the curb, but...
247
00:09:51,566 --> 00:09:54,365
when the precinct
split in 1954, however,
248
00:09:54,433 --> 00:09:55,898
the new houses
were not built
249
00:09:55,966 --> 00:09:57,499
according to the old code.
250
00:09:57,566 --> 00:09:59,565
It's my feeling that the old
code is actually preferable...
251
00:09:59,633 --> 00:10:02,298
Supervisor Johannsen, in
light of the late hour,
252
00:10:02,366 --> 00:10:04,965
I move we postpone
further discussion of, uh,
253
00:10:05,033 --> 00:10:07,265
whatever your topic is
to a subsequent meeting.
254
00:10:07,333 --> 00:10:08,732
JOHANNSEN: But...
HENDERSON: Second.
255
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:09,732
COUNCILMAN:
Call the question.
256
00:10:09,799 --> 00:10:11,865
All in favor
of the chair proposal?
257
00:10:11,933 --> 00:10:13,999
ALL:
Aye.
258
00:10:14,066 --> 00:10:15,498
Move that this meeting be
adjourned, please.
259
00:10:15,566 --> 00:10:17,598
MAGUIRE: Seconded.
Call the question.
260
00:10:17,666 --> 00:10:18,798
All in favor
of adjournment?
261
00:10:18,866 --> 00:10:19,898
Uh, new business.
262
00:10:19,967 --> 00:10:21,432
There is a motion
on the floor.
263
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:23,432
GARY: Yes, I know,
but you didn't mention
264
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:24,832
anything about new business.
265
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:26,265
It's late.
266
00:10:26,332 --> 00:10:28,765
Well, you see, I have cons...
uh, constituents who...
267
00:10:28,833 --> 00:10:29,965
they really need
a traffic light.
268
00:10:30,033 --> 00:10:31,631
I thought if we could pass it
real quick...
269
00:10:31,699 --> 00:10:33,531
I-I've got the
on-site inspection right here.
270
00:10:33,599 --> 00:10:35,698
Congratulations.
271
00:10:35,766 --> 00:10:37,599
Unfortunately,
that's only the tip
272
00:10:37,666 --> 00:10:39,899
of a very large
procedural iceberg,
273
00:10:39,967 --> 00:10:41,565
and we don't want to
hold up everyone else
274
00:10:41,632 --> 00:10:42,564
while I explain it.
275
00:10:42,633 --> 00:10:43,999
In favor
of adjournment?
276
00:10:44,066 --> 00:10:44,999
ALL:
Aye.
277
00:10:45,066 --> 00:10:46,032
Motion carries.
278
00:10:46,099 --> 00:10:47,065
(gavel bangs)
We stand adjourned.
279
00:10:47,133 --> 00:10:49,331
W-Whoa, Parliamentary procedure
says...
280
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,066
This isn't Parliament, Gary,
it's Chicago.
281
00:10:52,133 --> 00:10:53,832
Well, yeah, I know that, but...
282
00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:56,165
Freshman supervisors don't
make proposals, okay?
283
00:10:56,233 --> 00:10:57,564
It upsets the
balance of things.
284
00:10:57,632 --> 00:10:59,265
You with me here?
GARY: Well, I'm not
285
00:10:59,333 --> 00:11:00,265
trying to upset anything.
286
00:11:00,333 --> 00:11:02,366
Rookie mistake...
no harm, no foul.
287
00:11:02,433 --> 00:11:04,799
In the future, you want to
put something on the agenda,
288
00:11:04,867 --> 00:11:06,132
come to me first.
289
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,199
Well, I want a traffic light
at Wingate and Emerson.
290
00:11:08,267 --> 00:11:09,799
That's...
291
00:11:09,867 --> 00:11:13,032
Look, we don't hand out
traffic lights like lollipops.
292
00:11:13,099 --> 00:11:14,966
We've got a very limited
budget for that kind of thing.
293
00:11:15,033 --> 00:11:16,966
Plus, I happen to
know for a fact
294
00:11:17,033 --> 00:11:20,132
that keeping those particular
streets open is very important
295
00:11:20,199 --> 00:11:21,531
to the welfare
of the city.
296
00:11:21,599 --> 00:11:24,398
You mean
Coveleski Construction.
297
00:11:24,465 --> 00:11:25,631
Stan Coveleski's
298
00:11:25,699 --> 00:11:27,199
an outstanding
citizen of Chicago
299
00:11:27,266 --> 00:11:29,498
and a highly valued
supporter of this party,
300
00:11:29,566 --> 00:11:31,765
which... let me remind
you, Supervisor Hobson...
301
00:11:31,832 --> 00:11:34,731
has put you into
political office.
302
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:35,965
You want to make
a difference?
303
00:11:36,033 --> 00:11:37,331
Learn the game, kid.
304
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:38,965
Keep your eyes open
and your mouth shut.
305
00:11:39,033 --> 00:11:40,032
You with me here?
306
00:11:40,099 --> 00:11:41,032
Good, good.
307
00:11:41,099 --> 00:11:42,032
And relax,
will you?
308
00:11:42,099 --> 00:11:43,998
You're part of
the team now.
309
00:11:44,066 --> 00:11:46,465
You're going to
be taken care of.
310
00:11:49,799 --> 00:11:52,098
Why didn't you bring up
the Hamilton Place project?
311
00:11:52,166 --> 00:11:53,765
Not the right time.
Not yet.
312
00:11:53,832 --> 00:11:55,032
Yeah, well, it
better be soon.
313
00:11:55,099 --> 00:11:56,532
I got people
to put to work.
314
00:11:56,599 --> 00:11:57,532
(laughs)
315
00:11:58,833 --> 00:12:00,232
MOLLY: You don't look
too good, sport.
316
00:12:00,299 --> 00:12:03,032
Maybe you should have thrown
'em some chicken fingers.
317
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:04,866
Chicken fingers get me
a traffic light?
318
00:12:04,933 --> 00:12:06,266
(laughs)
319
00:12:06,334 --> 00:12:08,166
Don't write that down.
That was off the record.
320
00:12:08,234 --> 00:12:10,999
Oh, you got to say that before
you make a statement, kiddo.
321
00:12:11,067 --> 00:12:12,665
That's the rule.
322
00:12:12,733 --> 00:12:15,333
If you don't want to see it in
print, it's off the record.
323
00:12:15,399 --> 00:12:18,099
If it can be quoted, but not
attributed, it's on background.
324
00:12:18,167 --> 00:12:19,265
What?
325
00:12:19,333 --> 00:12:20,498
Oh, boy, you really did
326
00:12:20,566 --> 00:12:23,398
just fall off
a turnip truck, didn't you?
327
00:12:23,466 --> 00:12:25,898
Okay, pay attention, sport.
328
00:12:25,966 --> 00:12:28,365
You're not here
to put up a traffic light.
329
00:12:28,433 --> 00:12:30,632
You're here because
you look good on television.
330
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:32,498
And after Callahan's ugly mug,
331
00:12:32,566 --> 00:12:34,365
that's enough for
Maguire's outfit.
332
00:12:34,433 --> 00:12:37,299
You're not supposed
to do anything.
333
00:12:37,366 --> 00:12:39,698
You're just supposed
to look pretty
334
00:12:39,766 --> 00:12:41,365
and sit there
and warm that chair
335
00:12:41,433 --> 00:12:43,732
for the next three months
till the coming election.
336
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,932
Maguire decides
what's supposed
337
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,099
to get done around
here, not you.
338
00:12:48,166 --> 00:12:52,132
In this great big machine,
my friend, you are but a cog.
339
00:12:52,199 --> 00:12:53,865
A very little cog.
340
00:12:53,932 --> 00:12:56,665
Chicago Politics 101.
341
00:13:08,733 --> 00:13:11,899
(alarm beeping)
(train rumbling in distance)
342
00:13:11,967 --> 00:13:13,199
(turns alarm off)
343
00:13:13,266 --> 00:13:15,565
(cat meows)
344
00:13:15,633 --> 00:13:17,066
(paper thuds against door)
345
00:13:23,133 --> 00:13:24,498
(cat purrs)
346
00:13:25,732 --> 00:13:27,631
(grumbles)
347
00:13:29,966 --> 00:13:31,798
(sighs)
348
00:13:31,866 --> 00:13:33,465
Hey, you got to see this!
349
00:13:33,533 --> 00:13:34,898
I love ya, man.
350
00:13:34,967 --> 00:13:36,531
Look.
351
00:13:36,599 --> 00:13:39,332
They approved my application
for parking in the alley.
352
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,099
No more driving around
20 minutes looking for a spot.
353
00:13:42,166 --> 00:13:44,365
No more banged-up fenders.
354
00:13:44,432 --> 00:13:46,298
No more parking tickets.
355
00:13:46,366 --> 00:13:48,065
And look, look.
356
00:13:48,133 --> 00:13:50,099
GARY:
It's a Dumpster.
357
00:13:50,166 --> 00:13:51,931
An empty Dumpster.
358
00:13:51,999 --> 00:13:54,298
They've doubled
our trash pickup.
359
00:13:54,366 --> 00:13:56,999
You are the man!
360
00:13:57,066 --> 00:14:00,965
I'm telling you, Gare,
it keeps rolling in.
361
00:14:01,033 --> 00:14:02,965
What does?
362
00:14:03,033 --> 00:14:05,832
Only a variance allowing
us to run the new exhaust
363
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:07,599
fan through the wall,
instead of up through the roof.
364
00:14:07,666 --> 00:14:09,165
You know how much money
that saves us, Gare?
365
00:14:09,233 --> 00:14:11,898
I think I finally
have the answer.
366
00:14:11,966 --> 00:14:13,298
What was the question?
367
00:14:13,366 --> 00:14:15,432
As to why you get
the newspaper every day.
368
00:14:15,499 --> 00:14:16,898
Yeah, it suddenly became
369
00:14:16,966 --> 00:14:18,332
so clear to me.
370
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:20,865
You get it so that you
could go into politics,
371
00:14:20,933 --> 00:14:23,232
so that you could help
more people at once.
372
00:14:23,299 --> 00:14:24,832
I haven't helped anybody yet.
373
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:27,166
Sure, you have. You helped me.
You helped us.
374
00:14:27,233 --> 00:14:28,665
And that's-that's only
the beginning, Gare.
375
00:14:28,733 --> 00:14:30,165
It's not out
of the question
376
00:14:30,233 --> 00:14:32,298
that once Daley
decides to hang it up,
377
00:14:32,366 --> 00:14:35,465
with my managerial skills, you
could be the city's next mayor.
378
00:14:35,533 --> 00:14:38,066
And then, you could even
go someplace higher.
379
00:14:38,133 --> 00:14:41,498
Look, according to this,
I'm in over my head already.
380
00:14:41,566 --> 00:14:42,965
Says who?
Says who?
381
00:14:43,033 --> 00:14:45,032
I'll show you says who.
382
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:47,299
There. Says Molly Greene.
383
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,866
CHUCK: "Gator boy
lost in swamp."
384
00:14:49,933 --> 00:14:50,898
GARY:
Yeah.
385
00:14:50,967 --> 00:14:52,531
Well, at least she
got your name right.
386
00:14:52,599 --> 00:14:53,798
Thanks, Chuck.
387
00:14:53,866 --> 00:14:55,433
Publicity, Gare... that's
the name of the game.
388
00:14:55,499 --> 00:14:56,598
Yeah.
Look...
389
00:14:56,666 --> 00:14:57,865
Let me tell
you something.
390
00:14:57,932 --> 00:14:59,098
It doesn't matter what
she says about you,
391
00:14:59,166 --> 00:15:01,631
as long as people know
who you are.
392
00:15:06,733 --> 00:15:08,665
(loud, overlapping chatter)
393
00:15:08,733 --> 00:15:10,665
(chatter and phones ringing)
394
00:15:14,966 --> 00:15:16,665
MOLLY: What's the
alderman's position?
395
00:15:16,733 --> 00:15:19,532
Look, you tell him
he's got 24 hours to call me,
396
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,898
or I go to print
with what I've got.
397
00:15:21,966 --> 00:15:23,932
What can I do for you,
Supervisor Hobson?
398
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,665
It's Gary, and I
want to talk to you
399
00:15:25,732 --> 00:15:27,564
about the article you're writing
about me, off the record.
400
00:15:27,633 --> 00:15:29,799
Who says I'm writing
an article about you?
401
00:15:31,233 --> 00:15:33,332
Okay, let's say I am.
402
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:35,832
You know, you have a good time
making fun of people, don't you?
403
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:37,332
What makes you think
I'd make fun of you?
404
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,199
Oh, I have a feeling
that's what you like to do.
405
00:15:39,266 --> 00:15:42,166
Oh, look, you guys just run
the circus, I review the acts.
406
00:15:42,233 --> 00:15:43,465
Oh, yeah. Well, maybe
you've been reviewing it
407
00:15:43,533 --> 00:15:44,632
a little too long, lady.
408
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:45,832
Look, all I'm trying to do
409
00:15:45,899 --> 00:15:46,965
is help some people here,
that's it.
410
00:15:47,033 --> 00:15:48,366
How sweet.
411
00:15:48,433 --> 00:15:51,066
Why have you got it in for me?
412
00:15:51,133 --> 00:15:53,532
Because you're in
Maguire's pocket.
413
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,465
What are you talking about?
I'm not in anybody's pocket.
414
00:15:55,533 --> 00:15:57,865
Oh, no? How's that bar
of yours doing lately?
415
00:15:57,933 --> 00:15:59,765
Got any problems
with health inspectors?
416
00:15:59,833 --> 00:16:02,032
Any trouble getting
your trash picked up? No?
417
00:16:02,099 --> 00:16:03,832
I didn't think so.
Now, wait a second.
418
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:05,399
I didn't ask for
any of that...
419
00:16:05,466 --> 00:16:07,399
Look, all I want is
a stoplight, that's it.
420
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:08,732
In-In three months, I resign.
421
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,199
Please, don't go getting
self-righteous on me, sport.
422
00:16:11,267 --> 00:16:13,032
It spoils your boyish charm.
423
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:15,564
Besides, Maguire won't
let you resign.
424
00:16:15,632 --> 00:16:18,498
You're too media-friendly.
425
00:16:21,166 --> 00:16:23,932
GARY: Now, last week a girl
stumbled upon an escaped alligator
426
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,332
here, and she was almost killed.
427
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,432
But the fact is,
she was probably safer here
428
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:29,999
than she would have been
crossing a street in the city,
429
00:16:30,066 --> 00:16:31,866
especially when
the street has no stoplight,
430
00:16:31,933 --> 00:16:34,199
and especially when there's
a 40-ton truck flying at her.
431
00:16:34,266 --> 00:16:35,999
What is with this guy
and his traffic light?
432
00:16:36,067 --> 00:16:37,599
(Gary speaking on TV)
Doesn't he get it?
433
00:16:37,666 --> 00:16:39,665
Maybe he's
just dense.
434
00:16:39,732 --> 00:16:41,765
We're taking care
of his bar, right?
435
00:16:41,832 --> 00:16:43,065
The whole
nine yards.
436
00:16:43,133 --> 00:16:45,599
Why did that happen?
437
00:16:45,666 --> 00:16:46,798
Dutch, you see this kid?
438
00:16:46,866 --> 00:16:49,098
What am... What am I gonna do
with this kid?
439
00:16:49,166 --> 00:16:51,698
The dog is hungry.
440
00:16:51,766 --> 00:16:53,698
Throw him a bone.
441
00:16:53,767 --> 00:16:55,932
Throw him a bone? What do you
mean, give him the light?
442
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,099
Sure.
443
00:16:57,166 --> 00:16:58,265
(chuckling)
444
00:16:58,333 --> 00:16:59,599
Why not?
445
00:16:59,666 --> 00:17:01,798
Just make sure
it's attached to something.
446
00:17:01,867 --> 00:17:04,665
Like Coveleski's project?
447
00:17:04,733 --> 00:17:06,165
You're the supervisor.
448
00:17:06,233 --> 00:17:08,365
I'm just here
for the entertainment.
449
00:17:08,433 --> 00:17:09,932
GARY:
I think everyone would agree
450
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,499
that you can't put a price
on life,
451
00:17:11,566 --> 00:17:13,932
but I'd say it's at least worth
the price of a stoplight.
452
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,932
GARY: You see, it's just that
I feel a little uncomfortable
453
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,299
with these
favors. I-I...
454
00:17:19,367 --> 00:17:20,499
It's expected, Gary.
455
00:17:20,566 --> 00:17:21,832
You want to use power?
456
00:17:21,900 --> 00:17:23,932
You got to show people
you have power.
457
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,166
Well, yeah.
458
00:17:25,233 --> 00:17:27,265
I've been giving it
a lot of thought,
459
00:17:27,333 --> 00:17:29,732
and I'm gonna put
your traffic light on the agenda
460
00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:30,998
for the next meeting.
461
00:17:31,066 --> 00:17:32,199
Top priority.
462
00:17:32,266 --> 00:17:34,364
You are?
463
00:17:34,433 --> 00:17:37,099
All it needs is
a simple majority to pass.
464
00:17:37,166 --> 00:17:38,532
Just like that?
465
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:39,999
Just like that.
466
00:17:40,066 --> 00:17:42,498
Well... good.
467
00:17:42,566 --> 00:17:43,698
Good. Thank you,
Mr. Maguire.
468
00:17:43,766 --> 00:17:44,898
I appreciate
that. I think...
469
00:17:44,966 --> 00:17:46,266
Now, the first item on
470
00:17:46,333 --> 00:17:48,699
the agenda will be the new city
office building contract.
471
00:17:48,766 --> 00:17:50,432
We're gonna award that
to Stan Coveleski.
472
00:17:50,499 --> 00:17:52,398
So you go ahead
and vote for that,
473
00:17:52,466 --> 00:17:54,099
and then
we'll get you your light.
474
00:17:54,166 --> 00:17:57,632
The, uh... the new city
office building?
475
00:17:57,699 --> 00:18:00,765
Which would be Hamilton Place.
476
00:18:00,833 --> 00:18:02,565
(laughs)
I know what you've heard.
477
00:18:02,633 --> 00:18:04,299
It's gonna tear the heart out
478
00:18:04,367 --> 00:18:06,132
of the old Greek neighborhood
down there.
479
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,398
(scoffs)
Baloney.
480
00:18:07,466 --> 00:18:09,631
Yeah, well...
481
00:18:09,699 --> 00:18:10,999
Hamilton Place
only takes up
482
00:18:11,066 --> 00:18:12,865
a half a block of Greek Town.
483
00:18:12,933 --> 00:18:14,865
Look, they're gonna get
a nice buyout.
484
00:18:14,933 --> 00:18:16,965
The rest of the neighborhood
gets the benefit
485
00:18:17,033 --> 00:18:18,532
of a major new revenue producer.
486
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,032
Well...
487
00:18:20,099 --> 00:18:21,598
I know better
than to push you
488
00:18:21,666 --> 00:18:22,898
for a commitment right now.
489
00:18:22,966 --> 00:18:24,165
Think about it.
490
00:18:24,233 --> 00:18:25,732
Take your time.
491
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,665
But I tell you,
when you look at it,
492
00:18:27,732 --> 00:18:29,698
it's a win-win.
493
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,898
Yeah.
494
00:18:32,967 --> 00:18:34,665
MAN:
Did you get it?
495
00:18:34,732 --> 00:18:36,166
(Gary sighs)
496
00:18:36,233 --> 00:18:38,565
MAN #2:
Not yet.
497
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,299
Would you
quit pacing?
498
00:18:42,367 --> 00:18:43,564
It'll all
work out.
499
00:18:43,633 --> 00:18:44,965
Look, these impact statements...
500
00:18:45,033 --> 00:18:46,999
they build this city office
building at Hamilton Place,
501
00:18:47,066 --> 00:18:49,232
they're gonna destroy one of the
oldest neighborhoods in Chicago.
502
00:18:49,299 --> 00:18:51,099
And it'll bring more commuters
from the suburbs,
503
00:18:51,167 --> 00:18:52,765
and then you get
your traffic light.
504
00:18:52,833 --> 00:18:54,531
Quid pro quo.
One hand
505
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,599
washes the other.
506
00:18:55,666 --> 00:18:56,665
You scratch my back...
507
00:18:56,733 --> 00:18:58,032
Yeah, yeah, I got it. I got it.
508
00:18:58,099 --> 00:18:59,431
So vote for it.
509
00:18:59,499 --> 00:19:01,165
You're so
negative lately.
510
00:19:01,299 --> 00:19:05,465
Why can't you see the glass
is half full, like me, huh?
511
00:19:05,533 --> 00:19:07,465

512

00:20:50,066 --> 00:20:52,731
"...new city office complex,
which would displace one
531
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:54,665
of the city's
great neighborhoods..."
532
00:20:54,732 --> 00:20:56,632
(indistinct chatter)
533
00:20:56,699 --> 00:20:59,299
"Residents will be reimbursed,
but this isn't about money,
534
00:20:59,366 --> 00:21:00,665
"it's about a way of life.
535
00:21:00,733 --> 00:21:01,998
"It's about community.
536
00:21:02,066 --> 00:21:03,398
"When Hamilton Place is gone,
537
00:21:03,466 --> 00:21:05,465
"or any of the neighborhoods
like it are bought out,
538
00:21:05,532 --> 00:21:07,798
redevelop or simply
disappear..."
539
00:21:11,367 --> 00:21:15,299
"...then part of this city's
soul disappears as well."
540
00:21:15,367 --> 00:21:17,531
(cat meows)
541
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,432
(indistinct chatter)
542
00:21:43,566 --> 00:21:45,498
(entrance bell chimes)
543
00:21:58,633 --> 00:22:00,232
I got it.
What are you doing?
544
00:22:01,299 --> 00:22:02,531
Oh, excuse me.
Sorry.
545
00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:03,565
Excuse me.
546
00:22:03,633 --> 00:22:04,632
Thank you.
547
00:22:04,699 --> 00:22:05,965
Nice to meet you.
548
00:22:12,033 --> 00:22:13,731
MAGUIRE:
Call the question.
549
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,631
The vote is
on the Hamilton Place
550
00:22:15,699 --> 00:22:17,464
buyout package
and redevelopment
551
00:22:17,532 --> 00:22:19,799
by Coveleski Construction.
552
00:22:19,866 --> 00:22:21,132
All in favor?
553
00:22:25,266 --> 00:22:26,531
Motion pa...
554
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,132
(Maguire
clears throat)
555
00:22:28,199 --> 00:22:31,531
Let the record show
five votes for the motion.
556
00:22:34,633 --> 00:22:36,166
All opposed?
557
00:22:42,666 --> 00:22:44,898
Five votes opposed.
558
00:22:44,967 --> 00:22:47,132
There is no
majority vote.
559
00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:48,799
Motion is defeated.
560
00:22:50,199 --> 00:22:52,865
Well, I see nothing else
on the agenda.
561
00:22:52,933 --> 00:22:53,898
Move to adjourn.
562
00:22:53,967 --> 00:22:54,898
Now, wait a minute.
563
00:22:54,967 --> 00:22:55,932
What about the stoplight?
564
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,132
MAGUIRE:
Call the question.
565
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,366
In favor?
566
00:22:58,433 --> 00:22:59,365
Aye. Aye. Aye.
567
00:22:59,433 --> 00:23:00,431
Aye.
568
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:01,832
MAGUIRE:
We are adjourned.
569
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:02,965
(gavel bangs)
570
00:23:05,733 --> 00:23:07,865
Hey! That's a hell
of a way to start your
571
00:23:07,933 --> 00:23:10,065
political career... cut off
the hand that feeds you.
572
00:23:10,133 --> 00:23:11,398
I don't want
a political career.
573
00:23:11,466 --> 00:23:12,699
All I want is
a stoplight.
574
00:23:12,766 --> 00:23:14,132
Yeah, well, now you
got neither, right?
575
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,465
Hey, listen, you've
got to start listening
576
00:23:15,533 --> 00:23:16,865
to what I'm telling you.
577
00:23:16,933 --> 00:23:18,298
Give us a minute,
will you?
578
00:23:18,366 --> 00:23:19,632
Sure.
579
00:23:21,033 --> 00:23:22,298
What the hell was that, Hobson?
580
00:23:22,366 --> 00:23:23,331
We had a deal.
581
00:23:24,433 --> 00:23:26,266
Well, I, I changed my mind.
582
00:23:26,333 --> 00:23:27,765
I don't know what your game is.
583
00:23:27,833 --> 00:23:29,965
Either you're very clever
or just plain stupid.
584
00:23:30,033 --> 00:23:31,065
I don't care.
585
00:23:31,133 --> 00:23:32,265
You've got one more chance.
586
00:23:32,333 --> 00:23:34,265
Either you vote for that
new office building,
587
00:23:34,333 --> 00:23:36,132
or you're going to find
the world of politics
588
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,732
can be a very lonely place.
589
00:24:03,033 --> 00:24:05,065
GARY: I'm not quite
sure I understand.
590
00:24:05,133 --> 00:24:06,265
It says right here
591
00:24:06,333 --> 00:24:08,132
you could have gotten
the light if you'd voted
592
00:24:08,199 --> 00:24:09,465
for the Hamilton Place
project.
593
00:24:09,533 --> 00:24:11,432
Well, probably, but you see...
But what?
594
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:14,098
How many more kids have to die
before we get our light?
595
00:24:14,166 --> 00:24:16,199
Now, wait, I'm going to get
the stoplight.
596
00:24:16,266 --> 00:24:17,665
It's just...
What are you doing?
597
00:24:17,733 --> 00:24:19,099
Holding out for a better deal?
598
00:24:19,166 --> 00:24:21,698
No, I'm not holding out.
COVELESKI: Hobson?
599
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,399
I thought you were different,
but you're not.
600
00:24:27,532 --> 00:24:29,232
You got any idea
how many people
601
00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:30,798
and plans you
screwed up yesterday?
602
00:24:30,866 --> 00:24:32,132
Huh?
What's the problem?
603
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,565
You were going
to get your stoplight.
604
00:24:33,632 --> 00:24:34,732
Not enough in it for you?
605
00:24:36,166 --> 00:24:38,098
Wait a second... I'm not going
to vote for anything
606
00:24:38,166 --> 00:24:39,765
unless I have a reason
to vote for it.
607
00:24:39,833 --> 00:24:41,732
Right.
608
00:24:42,833 --> 00:24:43,765
Reasons.
609
00:24:43,833 --> 00:24:44,765
(envelope thuds)
610
00:24:44,833 --> 00:24:47,133
With more to follow
after the next vote.
611
00:24:47,199 --> 00:24:49,732
Nice talking to you, kid.
612
00:25:02,933 --> 00:25:04,865
(indistinct chatter)
613
00:25:09,365 --> 00:25:10,498
What's that?
614
00:25:10,566 --> 00:25:12,099
That's a returned favor.
615
00:25:18,366 --> 00:25:20,132
You know, I'll tell you
something.
616
00:25:20,199 --> 00:25:22,865
I took this job to get
some people a stoplight.
617
00:25:22,933 --> 00:25:25,132
And any way I got to do it,
618
00:25:25,199 --> 00:25:27,132
I'm going
to get that stoplight.
619
00:25:30,733 --> 00:25:34,599
Mr. Hobson just
became a liability.
620
00:25:36,766 --> 00:25:38,765
You with me here?
621
00:25:38,833 --> 00:25:40,598
(elevator bell dings)
622
00:25:40,666 --> 00:25:42,232
Miss Greene, I need
to talk to you.
623
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:44,232
I'm in a hurry. Yeah, listen,
I've talked to Maguire.
624
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:45,498
I've burned all
the bridges with him and...
625
00:25:45,566 --> 00:25:46,998
Good for you.
I'm late for an interview.
626
00:25:47,066 --> 00:25:48,799
Look, I want you to know I'm
going to get that stoplight,
627
00:25:48,866 --> 00:25:50,299
regardless of what
the papers say.
628
00:25:50,366 --> 00:25:51,865
Yeah, maybe you shouldn't
believe everything you read.
629
00:25:51,933 --> 00:25:53,099
Listen, I need to talk
to the supervisors
630
00:25:53,166 --> 00:25:54,965
that aren't part
of Maguire's machine,
631
00:25:55,033 --> 00:25:56,798
but I don't know what their
agendas are, and I...
632
00:25:56,866 --> 00:25:59,165
Look, I don't know how
to get in touch with them.
633
00:25:59,232 --> 00:26:00,898
You asking me for help?
634
00:26:00,966 --> 00:26:03,298
You know a lot more
on this than I do, I...
635
00:26:03,366 --> 00:26:04,699
No, I'm
a journalist, Hobson.
636
00:26:04,766 --> 00:26:06,765
I call you people on your
crap, I don't step in it.
637
00:26:06,833 --> 00:26:07,899
No, you don't, do you?
638
00:26:07,967 --> 00:26:10,698
You just sit up in your
big newspaper office
639
00:26:10,767 --> 00:26:12,133
and pretend you're better
than everyone and everything.
640
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,999
You make a big joke
out of all of it.
641
00:26:14,067 --> 00:26:16,066
Look, all I'm trying to do
is help some people, that's it.
642
00:26:16,134 --> 00:26:17,999
All I want to do is to...
643
00:26:18,067 --> 00:26:19,632
Oh, what am I
talking to you for?
644
00:26:19,699 --> 00:26:21,132
You don't give a damn.
645
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:23,899
Hey, Hobson?
646
00:26:26,633 --> 00:26:28,265
You want to start
with Mary Richardson.
647
00:26:28,333 --> 00:26:30,532
You want to get with her,
you want to talk about
648
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,165
school improvements,
particularly...
649
00:26:32,233 --> 00:26:33,232
You got a pencil?
650
00:26:33,299 --> 00:26:34,265
No.
How did your mother
651
00:26:34,333 --> 00:26:36,199
ever let you out of the house?
652
00:26:36,266 --> 00:26:37,899
Write this down.
653
00:26:37,967 --> 00:26:39,498
Talk to Richardson
about reading, okay?
654
00:26:39,566 --> 00:26:41,531
That's the Head Start Program.
That's her baby, all right?
655
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:42,966
And then, you want
to talk to Woo...
656
00:26:43,033 --> 00:26:45,299
Now, wait, wait a second...
let me get that reading program.
657
00:26:45,367 --> 00:26:46,932
MOLLY: Yeah, with a
focus on preschool.
658
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,966
She'll be looking for
help in allotting money
659
00:26:49,033 --> 00:26:50,465
for facilities
and material...
660
00:26:50,532 --> 00:26:51,932
GARY: And I vote on that. Right.
661
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,199
Just remember, she's
on the school board, too.
662
00:26:54,267 --> 00:26:56,598
It's all about education
with Richardson.
663
00:26:56,666 --> 00:26:58,066
GARY:
What about Woo?
664
00:26:58,133 --> 00:26:59,333
MOLLY:
Community policing.
665
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,565
That's the ticket with Woo.
666
00:27:00,632 --> 00:27:02,698
He was robbed three
times last year,
667
00:27:02,766 --> 00:27:04,798
and he wants an allocation
to put more beat cops
668
00:27:04,866 --> 00:27:06,298
down in the neighborhoods.
669
00:27:06,366 --> 00:27:08,265
GARY: That sounds fair.
Word to the wise:
670
00:27:08,333 --> 00:27:10,865
he's got no sense of humor,
so don't make any jokes.
671
00:27:10,933 --> 00:27:12,798
You'll really connect
with him if you remind him
672
00:27:12,866 --> 00:27:14,399
you're a small
businessman yourself.
673
00:27:14,466 --> 00:27:16,465
GARY: Okay, good. Woo is
close friends with Gonzalez.
674
00:27:16,533 --> 00:27:19,631
So if Woo likes you,
Gonzalez is along for the ride.
675
00:27:24,866 --> 00:27:25,998
Can I help you?
676
00:27:26,066 --> 00:27:26,998
Health inspector.
677
00:27:27,066 --> 00:27:28,232
Health inspector?
678
00:27:28,299 --> 00:27:30,199
We just had a health
inspection two weeks ago.
679
00:27:30,266 --> 00:27:32,699
Oh. Well, there have
been complaints.
680
00:27:32,766 --> 00:27:34,199
Complaints?
From who?
681
00:27:34,266 --> 00:27:36,732
Uh-oh, vermin
infestation.
682
00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:37,765
What?!
683
00:27:37,833 --> 00:27:39,699
Ah, got rat droppings
everywhere.
684
00:27:39,766 --> 00:27:41,199
Where?
685
00:27:41,266 --> 00:27:44,265
All storage, prep
and cooking areas.
686
00:27:44,333 --> 00:27:45,532
You're not even looking.
687
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,132
You're closed, pending
further inspection.
688
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,465
Anybody eats or drinks
anything in here until I
689
00:27:49,533 --> 00:27:51,432
say so, you're looking
at serious jail time.
690
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:52,498
Wait a minute,
you just can't
691
00:27:52,566 --> 00:27:54,498
come in...
Have a nice day.
692
00:27:57,799 --> 00:27:59,066
Huh...
693
00:27:59,133 --> 00:28:00,965
Gary, that guy, he...
694
00:28:01,033 --> 00:28:02,464
Hey, what's with y-your
parking spot?
695
00:28:02,532 --> 00:28:04,032
They're towing away
your car out there.
696
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:05,732
My car?
Yeah.
697
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,398
They're towing my car?!
698
00:28:07,465 --> 00:28:09,865
Hey! Give me
my car back!
699
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,999
Oh, man, this just gets
better and better.
700
00:28:15,067 --> 00:28:16,498
Here.
701
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,165
Health inspection?
702
00:28:19,233 --> 00:28:20,365
They're closing us down.
703
00:28:20,433 --> 00:28:22,899
Shutting us down for what?
704
00:28:22,967 --> 00:28:24,132
For voting the wrong way.
705
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,199
You happy now?
706
00:28:25,266 --> 00:28:27,032
What do you mean, am I happy?
707
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:28,766
Look, what do
you want me to do?
708
00:28:28,833 --> 00:28:31,532
You want me to take a bribe, is that it?
It's called compromise, Gare.
709
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,865
That is what this
country was founded on.
710
00:28:33,933 --> 00:28:35,331
What is it that
Patrick Henry said?
711
00:28:35,399 --> 00:28:37,165
"You got to give a little
to get a little."
712
00:28:37,233 --> 00:28:38,865
I know how I'll get us out of this.
How?
713
00:28:38,933 --> 00:28:40,865
I'll resign. After I get
the stoplight, I'll resign.
714
00:28:40,933 --> 00:28:42,865
Gary, they shut us down.
715
00:28:42,933 --> 00:28:44,699
You can't win.
Forget about it.
716
00:28:44,767 --> 00:28:46,365
Don't ever tell me
what I can't do.
717
00:28:49,266 --> 00:28:51,133
He's one vote short.
Hmm...
718
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,799
All he's got to do is turn one
of Maguire's crew around,
719
00:28:53,867 --> 00:28:55,099
and he gets his traffic light.
720
00:28:55,167 --> 00:28:56,665
Oh.
721
00:28:56,733 --> 00:28:58,966
(laughing)
722
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,365
He really got to you,
didn't he?
723
00:29:02,433 --> 00:29:04,032
Who? Hobson?
724
00:29:04,099 --> 00:29:06,998
No, I just... I think he's got
a good issue, that's all.
725
00:29:07,066 --> 00:29:09,032
Oh, there are lots
of good issues, Molly.
726
00:29:09,099 --> 00:29:11,133
I've never seen you campaigning
behind the scenes for them.
727
00:29:11,199 --> 00:29:12,565
I'm not ca...
728
00:29:12,632 --> 00:29:14,198
Well, maybe I am.
729
00:29:14,265 --> 00:29:16,398
It's, it's just I think
he really is
730
00:29:16,465 --> 00:29:17,631
who he says he is, Dutch.
731
00:29:17,700 --> 00:29:19,531
So is the Pope, Molly.
732
00:29:19,599 --> 00:29:21,365
Doesn't mean he should
be mayor of Chicago.
733
00:29:21,433 --> 00:29:24,965
No. But I know somebody
who could have been once.
734
00:29:26,199 --> 00:29:27,465
Oh, yeah?
735
00:29:27,533 --> 00:29:29,032
Yeah.
736
00:29:29,099 --> 00:29:30,299
Hard-nosed idealist.
737
00:29:30,366 --> 00:29:33,266
Had the respect
of the, uh, old liners,
738
00:29:33,334 --> 00:29:34,866
the reformers...
What's your point, Molly?
739
00:29:34,933 --> 00:29:37,199
My point is, see,
this guy was on his way,
740
00:29:37,267 --> 00:29:38,765
but, uh, then he tripped.
741
00:29:38,833 --> 00:29:42,332
Rumor was...
took a penny ante bribe.
742
00:29:42,399 --> 00:29:45,298
Never came out in public,
but it was just enough,
743
00:29:45,366 --> 00:29:47,565
you know,
for the power brokers
744
00:29:47,632 --> 00:29:49,798
to drive him
into the back room,
745
00:29:49,867 --> 00:29:52,765
where he stayed, 40 years.
746
00:29:52,833 --> 00:29:54,965
(chuckles)
747
00:29:55,033 --> 00:29:57,965
Let me tell you
a little story, Molly.
748
00:29:58,033 --> 00:30:01,032
Abraham Lincoln, when he was
in Illinois politics,
749
00:30:01,099 --> 00:30:03,832
he was approached by a man
to buy his influence.
750
00:30:03,899 --> 00:30:06,565
Well, Lincoln started to throw
the man down the stairs.
751
00:30:06,633 --> 00:30:08,565
The man panicked,
and he said,
752
00:30:08,633 --> 00:30:10,198
"What's the matter
with you, huh?
753
00:30:10,266 --> 00:30:11,965
I didn't offer you enough?"
754
00:30:12,033 --> 00:30:15,865
Well, Lincoln said,
"That's the problem.
755
00:30:15,933 --> 00:30:18,065
You were getting
too close to my price."
756
00:30:18,133 --> 00:30:21,232
Now, the difference between
Abe and me, Molly...
757
00:30:22,866 --> 00:30:26,431
...I didn't get my man
to the staircase in time.
758
00:30:28,299 --> 00:30:31,899
Now, I might know
which of the boys
759
00:30:31,966 --> 00:30:36,465
could be persuaded to vote
for Hobson's traffic light.
760
00:30:36,533 --> 00:30:37,965
Yeah?
761
00:30:38,033 --> 00:30:41,565
Remember that
airport scandal last year?
762
00:30:43,199 --> 00:30:45,899
There was another
supervisor involved.
763
00:30:45,966 --> 00:30:47,365
And I got the goods.
764
00:30:48,466 --> 00:30:50,399
Well, that's a hot story.
765
00:30:50,466 --> 00:30:54,098
And it'd make one hell
of a story if I gave it to you.
766
00:30:55,599 --> 00:30:57,598
But on the other hand,
767
00:30:57,666 --> 00:30:59,865
if I kept it to myself,
and I called this fella
768
00:30:59,932 --> 00:31:01,498
and I said,
"Now you vote for her boy,
769
00:31:01,566 --> 00:31:03,098
if you know what's
good for you..."
770
00:31:03,166 --> 00:31:04,998
what then?
771
00:31:05,066 --> 00:31:08,331
And to make this an object
lesson in practical politics...
772
00:31:12,033 --> 00:31:13,765
...I'm going to leave
the choice to you.
773
00:31:15,867 --> 00:31:17,598
(chuckles)
774
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:22,965
We're in a lot of trouble.
775
00:31:23,033 --> 00:31:24,531
We don't get more
cash flow going,
776
00:31:24,599 --> 00:31:26,198
we're going to have
to start laying people off.
777
00:31:26,265 --> 00:31:27,298
We're not laying
anybody off.
778
00:31:27,365 --> 00:31:29,132
How are we going
to pay them, Gary?
779
00:31:29,199 --> 00:31:30,198
We are broke!
780
00:31:30,265 --> 00:31:32,066
Another five days,
that's it.
781
00:31:32,133 --> 00:31:33,732
All right,
so we take out a loan.
782
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,464
You know, you could
help a little bit.
783
00:31:35,532 --> 00:31:36,464
(pounding on door)
784
00:31:36,532 --> 00:31:37,865
We're closed!
785
00:31:37,933 --> 00:31:39,665
JOHANNSEN: Open up! I
know you're in there!
786
00:31:39,733 --> 00:31:41,231
Who is that?
I don't know.
787
00:31:41,299 --> 00:31:43,231
(pounding continues)
788
00:31:46,265 --> 00:31:48,198
Uh, Gary...
789
00:31:49,365 --> 00:31:50,932
I don't know how you
found out, Hobson,
790
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,398
but I want to tell you
flat out, it wasn't me.
791
00:31:53,465 --> 00:31:55,098
It was my moron
brother-in-law.
792
00:31:55,166 --> 00:31:56,098
What?
793
00:31:56,166 --> 00:31:57,498
Drop the act.
794
00:31:57,566 --> 00:31:59,198
You've got my vote.
795
00:31:59,266 --> 00:32:00,965
I got your vote?
796
00:32:01,099 --> 00:32:05,165
What? You think I'd rather go
toe-to-toe with my wife?
797
00:32:05,233 --> 00:32:06,798
Well, no, no. I...
798
00:32:06,866 --> 00:32:08,865
I got to hand
it to you.
799
00:32:08,933 --> 00:32:10,799
You're better at this
than I thought.
800
00:32:14,300 --> 00:32:17,531
Whoa... What was
that all about?
801
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,098
I don't know, but it looks
like I got a, a vote,
802
00:32:21,165 --> 00:32:22,966
so I got the stoplight.
803
00:32:23,033 --> 00:32:25,232
Which that's good,
but I-I don't know.
804
00:32:25,299 --> 00:32:26,799
(faucet running)
CHUCK: Gare?
805
00:32:26,866 --> 00:32:28,298
(door closes)
806
00:32:28,365 --> 00:32:31,166
(mumbling)
807
00:32:31,233 --> 00:32:32,632
Huh?
808
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:33,632
(faucet running)
809
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:36,099
Hey, cat.
810
00:32:36,166 --> 00:32:39,465
"Hobson's Unlikely Coalition
Wins Traffic Light Battle."
811
00:32:39,533 --> 00:32:41,765
Ah. Hey, look, Gare.
812
00:32:41,833 --> 00:32:43,565
You kind of stumbled out
of the blocks
813
00:32:43,633 --> 00:32:47,166
with this political gig,
but with my expertise, I think
814
00:32:47,233 --> 00:32:48,332
you're going
to be okay.
815
00:32:48,399 --> 00:32:49,498
You do, huh?
Yeah.
816
00:32:49,566 --> 00:32:51,765
Look, you just got
to listen to me more, okay?
817
00:32:51,833 --> 00:32:54,032
Yeah, well, you know what I... what?
(meows)
818
00:32:59,233 --> 00:33:02,065
"Two die in gas explosion."
819
00:33:02,133 --> 00:33:04,166
"An explosion killed two
construction workers
820
00:33:04,233 --> 00:33:06,765
"yesterday at a downtown
condominium conversion.
821
00:33:06,833 --> 00:33:08,798
"Authorities believe
the accident started
822
00:33:08,866 --> 00:33:10,732
"when a welder cut through
an abandoned gas main
823
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,898
that appears to have been
reconnected by transients."
824
00:33:12,967 --> 00:33:14,498
I gotta go.
825
00:33:14,566 --> 00:33:16,099
Wait a minute. You...
826
00:33:16,166 --> 00:33:17,365
After all this work,
827
00:33:17,432 --> 00:33:18,898
you're not gonna miss
your own vote, are you?
828
00:33:18,966 --> 00:33:20,065
What can I do?
829
00:33:20,133 --> 00:33:21,731
Call the construction
site.
830
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:22,898
I gotta go.
Wait.
831
00:33:22,966 --> 00:33:24,898
Gare, what about
the stoplight?
832
00:33:24,966 --> 00:33:26,299
What about
your political future?
833
00:33:26,366 --> 00:33:27,266
What about me?
834
00:33:27,333 --> 00:33:28,099
Stall 'em.
835
00:33:28,167 --> 00:33:28,965
Stall 'em how?
836
00:33:29,033 --> 00:33:29,965
You're the political genius.
837
00:33:30,033 --> 00:33:31,732
You figure it out.
838
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,199
(door shuts)
839
00:33:44,066 --> 00:33:45,998
(indistinct chattering)
840
00:33:49,233 --> 00:33:52,332
MAGUIRE: Next item is the
Wingate-Emerson traffic light,
841
00:33:52,399 --> 00:33:53,599
although its sponsor,
842
00:33:53,666 --> 00:33:54,932
Supervisor Hobson,
is not present...
843
00:33:54,999 --> 00:33:56,599
Uh, Supervisor Hobson's
been delayed.
844
00:33:56,666 --> 00:33:57,732
He's on his way.
845
00:33:57,799 --> 00:33:59,165
He just couldn't be here
right now.
846
00:33:59,233 --> 00:34:00,332
Oh.
847
00:34:00,399 --> 00:34:02,232
That's too bad.
848
00:34:02,299 --> 00:34:03,698
I move we vote now
849
00:34:03,766 --> 00:34:04,731
on the proposed
traffic light.
850
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,065
Oh, wait a minute. You can't.
851
00:34:06,133 --> 00:34:07,731
Motion's been made.
852
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,032
Well, then, can I vote for him?
He told me that I could.
853
00:34:10,099 --> 00:34:11,965
Sit down and be quiet,
854
00:34:12,033 --> 00:34:14,965
or I will have you ejected
from this chamber.
855
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:18,899
This is for approval of a traffic light...
Where is he?
856
00:34:18,966 --> 00:34:20,565
He's, uh, putting
out a fire.
857
00:34:20,633 --> 00:34:23,299
MAGUIRE: ...Wingate Avenue
and Emerson Street.
858
00:34:23,366 --> 00:34:24,398
Hey!
859
00:34:24,466 --> 00:34:25,932
Hey, wait! What are
you doing here?
860
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,431
You're not happy you screwed
up one project?
861
00:34:27,499 --> 00:34:28,865
Listen... You're going for more?
862
00:34:28,933 --> 00:34:30,665
Listen, there's gonna be a...
Get the hell out of here!
863
00:34:30,733 --> 00:34:31,665
There's gonna
be an explo...!
864
00:34:31,733 --> 00:34:33,465
(groans)
865
00:34:33,533 --> 00:34:34,598
Hawkins!
866
00:34:34,666 --> 00:34:35,832
Stay back!
Those tanks could blow!
867
00:34:35,900 --> 00:34:38,465
All right.
I gotcha.
868
00:34:38,533 --> 00:34:39,965
Come on.
Get out!
869
00:34:40,033 --> 00:34:41,965
Come on!
870
00:34:42,033 --> 00:34:43,965
All right,
I got your legs.
871
00:34:44,033 --> 00:34:45,965
You'll be all right.
872
00:34:46,033 --> 00:34:47,531
All right,
grab his feet.
873
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:48,565
Go on.
874
00:34:48,633 --> 00:34:51,731
(groaning)
875
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,632
No, my leg's caught.
My leg's caught!
876
00:34:53,700 --> 00:34:55,199
The motion's been made
and seconded.
877
00:34:55,266 --> 00:34:57,166
I'm gonna have to do something.
Vote on the approval
878
00:34:57,233 --> 00:34:59,398
of a traffic light at the
intersection of Wingate Avenue
879
00:34:59,466 --> 00:35:00,399
and Emerson Street.
880
00:35:00,466 --> 00:35:01,365
That's not fair!
881
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:02,766
(pounding gavel)
882
00:35:02,833 --> 00:35:03,965
I will clear this hall
883
00:35:04,033 --> 00:35:05,565
if there are any further
interruptions.
884
00:35:05,633 --> 00:35:07,065
I'm madder than hell,
885
00:35:07,133 --> 00:35:09,099
and I'm not gonna
take it anymore!
886
00:35:09,166 --> 00:35:10,199
I've warned you.
887
00:35:10,266 --> 00:35:12,732
Four score and...
seven years ago,
888
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,599
our forefathers
founded
889
00:35:14,666 --> 00:35:16,765
upon this continent
a new nation!
890
00:35:16,833 --> 00:35:19,598
Conceived in liberty,
891
00:35:19,666 --> 00:35:22,631
and dedicated
to the proposition
892
00:35:22,700 --> 00:35:26,032
that all men are created equal!
893
00:35:26,099 --> 00:35:29,032
(onlookers murmuring assent)
Including Chicagoans!
894
00:35:29,099 --> 00:35:31,465
(cheering and applause)
895
00:35:31,533 --> 00:35:32,631
(pounding gavel)
896
00:35:32,700 --> 00:35:34,065
MAGUIRE:
Order! Order!
897
00:35:39,166 --> 00:35:40,231
Get him out of here!
898
00:35:40,299 --> 00:35:41,265
Go on! Go on!
899
00:35:41,333 --> 00:35:43,265
(groaning)
900
00:35:43,333 --> 00:35:44,598
The tank's
gonna blow.
901
00:35:44,666 --> 00:35:46,098
Go on!
Come on, Take it easy.
902
00:35:46,166 --> 00:35:47,532
Go on, get him
out of here!
903
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:48,931
Get out!
Come on. Come on.
904
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,065
(groaning)
905
00:35:53,166 --> 00:35:54,698
I'm out of order?!
906
00:35:54,766 --> 00:35:56,265
You're out of order!
907
00:35:56,333 --> 00:35:57,598
And you're out of order!
908
00:35:57,666 --> 00:35:59,331
You're all out of order!
909
00:35:59,399 --> 00:36:01,032
Out of order!
910
00:36:01,166 --> 00:36:03,098
Out of order!
911
00:36:03,166 --> 00:36:04,598
(chanting):
Attica!
912
00:36:04,666 --> 00:36:06,431
Attica!
913
00:36:06,499 --> 00:36:07,465
Hey!
914
00:36:07,533 --> 00:36:08,799
(pounding gavel)
915
00:36:08,867 --> 00:36:10,631
This is an obstruction
916
00:36:10,699 --> 00:36:11,966
of the First
Amendment!
917
00:36:12,033 --> 00:36:13,132
There is a motion
918
00:36:13,199 --> 00:36:15,331
on the floor.
919
00:36:15,399 --> 00:36:17,365
Without further
delay,
920
00:36:17,433 --> 00:36:19,499
call the question.
921
00:36:19,566 --> 00:36:21,199
Not yet.
922
00:36:21,266 --> 00:36:22,498
What?
923
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,099
Table the motion
for further discussion.
924
00:36:26,166 --> 00:36:28,199
Once the question's been called,
925
00:36:28,266 --> 00:36:31,199
it's against procedure for
further discussion.
926
00:36:31,266 --> 00:36:33,799
Don't tell me about procedures.
927
00:36:33,867 --> 00:36:35,832
I helped write the damn
procedures.
928
00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:38,699
As a representative
of Supervisor Hobson,
929
00:36:38,767 --> 00:36:42,298
I may make a final address after
the question has been called.
930
00:36:42,366 --> 00:36:45,498
I wrote it, in case I had
to use it myself one day.
931
00:36:45,566 --> 00:36:47,531
And I guess that day
is finally here.
932
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,531
There is no such rule.
933
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,465
Well, prove me wrong.
934
00:36:52,533 --> 00:36:56,065
And until you do, I will
not give up the floor.
935
00:36:57,166 --> 00:36:59,132
Get the rules
of procedure.
936
00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:01,099
(whispering):
What is he doing?
937
00:37:02,266 --> 00:37:03,698
I think he just made it back
938
00:37:03,767 --> 00:37:05,032
to the top of the stairs.
939
00:37:05,099 --> 00:37:06,099
What?
940
00:37:06,166 --> 00:37:07,798
DUTCH:
In the meantime...
941
00:37:09,466 --> 00:37:13,899
I'd like to thank everyone
for coming here today.
942
00:37:13,966 --> 00:37:17,866
I see we have some families
from Wingate-Emerson,
943
00:37:17,933 --> 00:37:19,866
where they need this light.
944
00:37:21,933 --> 00:37:25,199
Maybe you could all
stand up. Hmm?
945
00:37:26,266 --> 00:37:28,199
Come on, stand up,
all of you.
946
00:37:30,299 --> 00:37:32,698
Introduce yourselves.
947
00:37:32,767 --> 00:37:34,199
One at a time.
948
00:37:34,266 --> 00:37:36,531
Don't be nervous.
949
00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:39,199
And you take
as long as you need.
950
00:37:39,266 --> 00:37:40,598
What's your name, darling?
951
00:37:40,666 --> 00:37:42,265
Graciela.
952
00:37:42,332 --> 00:37:43,698
Graciela.
953
00:37:43,767 --> 00:37:45,799
How old are you,
Graciela?
954
00:37:45,867 --> 00:37:47,665
GRACIELA:
Seven.
955
00:37:49,433 --> 00:37:50,364
Come on!
956
00:37:50,432 --> 00:37:51,865
(screams)
957
00:37:51,933 --> 00:37:54,731
Don't come any closer!
The whole floor could go!
958
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,364
Come on.
Grab my arm.
959
00:37:56,432 --> 00:37:58,364
Come on. Come on.
(Coveleski screams)
960
00:38:01,166 --> 00:38:02,365
Come on. Come on.
961
00:38:02,432 --> 00:38:03,632
Here we go.
962
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:06,932
(hissing)
963
00:38:09,366 --> 00:38:12,732
(screaming)
964
00:38:17,299 --> 00:38:19,199
(car alarm blaring)
965
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:23,032
You okay?
966
00:38:24,133 --> 00:38:26,065
GARY:
Yeah.
967
00:38:26,133 --> 00:38:28,332
Hey, h-how's your leg?
968
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,932
Still attached.
969
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,665
Aren't you supposed
to be at a supervisor's
970
00:38:32,733 --> 00:38:34,465
council meeting?
971
00:38:37,733 --> 00:38:39,165
Yeah.
972
00:38:39,233 --> 00:38:40,465
So what are you doing here?
973
00:38:40,533 --> 00:38:42,732
Huh? Uh...
974
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,731
When I was a young man,
975
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,298
I went down
to my precinct office,
976
00:38:47,365 --> 00:38:50,799
and I told them I wanted
to be involved.
977
00:38:52,532 --> 00:38:54,999
Well, Easy Ed Murphy,
the old precinct boss,
978
00:38:55,066 --> 00:38:58,898
he asked me, he says,
"What do you really want?"
979
00:38:58,966 --> 00:39:00,266
And I told him.
980
00:39:00,333 --> 00:39:03,465
I said I wanted
to make a difference.
981
00:39:03,533 --> 00:39:06,532
He told me
to get lost.
982
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,498
He said, "We don't want
nobody around here
983
00:39:08,566 --> 00:39:10,066
who don't want nothing."
984
00:39:10,133 --> 00:39:12,798
But I'm still here.
985
00:39:12,866 --> 00:39:14,565
And you know,
986
00:39:14,633 --> 00:39:17,966
I think I still want
the same thing.
987
00:39:18,033 --> 00:39:19,732
Okay, Dutch,
you've said your piece.
988
00:39:19,799 --> 00:39:20,899
Hobson hasn't shown.
989
00:39:20,966 --> 00:39:22,799
I think it's time
for you to sit down.
990
00:39:22,867 --> 00:39:24,531
Not yet.
991
00:39:24,599 --> 00:39:27,299
Been too long since I stood up.
992
00:39:27,366 --> 00:39:28,631
It's kind of nice.
993
00:39:28,699 --> 00:39:29,866
I like it.
994
00:39:29,933 --> 00:39:31,365
(chuckles)
995
00:39:31,432 --> 00:39:33,498
Maybe more of us should stand up
(door opens)
996
00:39:33,566 --> 00:39:36,131
when we feel the need,
if you get my meaning.
997
00:39:37,233 --> 00:39:39,998
But on the other hand...
998
00:39:41,767 --> 00:39:45,331
...I am an old man,
and I'm getting tired.
999
00:39:47,433 --> 00:39:49,631
I yield the floor for the vote.
1000
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:52,166
Move to postpone the vote.
1001
00:39:52,233 --> 00:39:54,298
Oh, you do?
Yes.
1002
00:39:54,366 --> 00:39:56,233
I believe it's
in the best interest
1003
00:39:56,300 --> 00:39:58,332
of many of us present
1004
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:59,899
if there's
no vote today.
1005
00:39:59,967 --> 00:40:01,199
Vote on the traffic light.
1006
00:40:01,266 --> 00:40:03,166
Not a good idea.
1007
00:40:03,233 --> 00:40:06,199
I personally would
like to see the vote.
1008
00:40:07,365 --> 00:40:09,798
Certain parties better stop
1009
00:40:09,867 --> 00:40:11,732
interrupting.
Now, who would that be?
1010
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:12,832
I could have you removed.
1011
00:40:15,266 --> 00:40:16,698
(hushed):
You try to throw me out,
1012
00:40:16,767 --> 00:40:19,265
I might hold a press
conference in the hall
1013
00:40:19,332 --> 00:40:20,465
to talk about
how contracts
1014
00:40:20,533 --> 00:40:22,165
are awarded
for city office buildings.
1015
00:40:22,233 --> 00:40:23,199
You know...
1016
00:40:23,266 --> 00:40:24,732
things like that.
1017
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:25,998
Really?
1018
00:40:26,066 --> 00:40:27,399
Really.
1019
00:40:27,466 --> 00:40:29,465
You want to cut your own throat?
1020
00:40:31,033 --> 00:40:32,365
GARY:
Excuse me, Mr. Chairman?
1021
00:40:32,433 --> 00:40:34,865
I have something to say.
1022
00:40:34,933 --> 00:40:36,799
Okay, I-I want
to say something.
1023
00:40:36,866 --> 00:40:39,632
Then you can go back
and do whatever you want to do.
1024
00:40:39,699 --> 00:40:42,365
First of all,
no one here has to vote
1025
00:40:42,433 --> 00:40:45,465
any other way than what
their conscience tells them to.
1026
00:40:45,533 --> 00:40:47,065
Now, second of all...
1027
00:40:47,133 --> 00:40:50,132
Look, I just became
a politician a few days ago.
1028
00:40:50,199 --> 00:40:51,865
But, uh...
1029
00:40:51,933 --> 00:40:54,265
Well, I've got
a confession to make.
1030
00:40:54,333 --> 00:40:56,332
And that is, I work for a boss.
1031
00:40:57,900 --> 00:41:01,266
But, eh... well, it's not you.
1032
00:41:02,767 --> 00:41:04,166
And it's not you.
1033
00:41:04,234 --> 00:41:07,065
And it's not you or you or you...
it's not any of you.
1034
00:41:14,366 --> 00:41:18,565
This... this is my boss.
1035
00:41:18,633 --> 00:41:20,698
And I've got to do
right by her.
1036
00:41:20,766 --> 00:41:22,532
We all do.
1037
00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:24,765
Because if we don't,
we're not doing our job.
1038
00:41:26,333 --> 00:41:28,232
And we should
recognize that.
1039
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,232
Are you with me here?
1040
00:41:34,433 --> 00:41:35,732
Approve that light,
1041
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,365
I'll put it up
free of charge.
1042
00:41:37,433 --> 00:41:40,631
Throw in new curbs,
a new traffic island...
1043
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:42,598
Ah, hell, I'll build them
a new park,
1044
00:41:42,666 --> 00:41:45,699
so they got something to do once
they cross the street.
1045
00:41:45,766 --> 00:41:47,498
Put that in your pipe
and smoke it.
1046
00:41:49,933 --> 00:41:52,065
All in favor?
1047
00:42:06,533 --> 00:42:08,565
Motion passed.
1048
00:42:08,633 --> 00:42:11,299
(cheering and applause)
1049
00:42:18,266 --> 00:42:21,199
Come to or... Come to order!
1050
00:42:21,266 --> 00:42:23,166
This meeting
has not been adjourned.
1051
00:42:23,233 --> 00:42:25,265
(applause and whistles)
Order!
1052
00:42:25,333 --> 00:42:27,265
Order!
1053
00:42:28,533 --> 00:42:30,799
Mr. Hobson, I believe
you wanted the floor.
1054
00:42:30,866 --> 00:42:33,565
I do? Oh, yeah, I do.
I, I, I do.
1055
00:42:33,633 --> 00:42:35,465
I-I have some, uh...
1056
00:42:35,533 --> 00:42:37,665
Well, I have some
new business to present.
1057
00:42:37,733 --> 00:42:39,532
It's about my resignation.
1058
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,432
And, uh...
1059
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:43,732
Well, I'm, uh...
1060
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,632
I'm going to resign
under one condition, you see.
1061
00:42:46,700 --> 00:42:48,966
And that is that I get
to name my replacement.
1062
00:42:49,033 --> 00:42:51,333
You don't get
to name anything!
1063
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,832
Oh, why don't you
just shut up?
1064
00:42:53,900 --> 00:42:56,032
(applause and murmurs)
1065
00:42:56,099 --> 00:42:57,431
Thank you. Thank you.
1066
00:42:57,499 --> 00:42:59,465
I... well, I'd
like to name
1067
00:42:59,532 --> 00:43:02,298
someone who I think, uh...
1068
00:43:02,366 --> 00:43:04,698
well, I think who,
in different times,
1069
00:43:04,766 --> 00:43:08,198
would have been, uh...
1070
00:43:08,266 --> 00:43:11,032
Well, I nominate
Dutch Van Drie.
1071
00:43:12,366 --> 00:43:13,632
Oh, take it, Dutch.
1072
00:43:13,699 --> 00:43:15,698
It's only about
40 years overdue.
1073
00:43:17,267 --> 00:43:18,531
What the hell.
1074
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,066
(applause)
1075
00:43:20,132 --> 00:43:21,531
Just don't let them down, huh?
1076
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,565
Don't you worry.
1077
00:43:23,633 --> 00:43:26,665
This old lion's still
got a few roars left in him.
1078
00:43:26,733 --> 00:43:29,999
And I plan to rattle a few bones
before I'm through.
1079
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,331
MOLLY: "In the end, this isn't
a story about a traffic light,
1080
00:43:40,399 --> 00:43:42,665
"or how cynicism
can blind you,
1081
00:43:42,733 --> 00:43:45,131
or how politics
can make you cynical."
1082
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,098
"Or how somebody
with nothing but good intent
1083
00:43:49,165 --> 00:43:52,632
"can triumph over
insurmountable odds.
1084
00:43:52,700 --> 00:43:55,665
Or how you're never
too old for redemption."
1085
00:43:55,733 --> 00:43:57,999
(indistinct chatter)
1086
00:43:58,067 --> 00:44:00,198
"No, what this story is about
1087
00:44:00,265 --> 00:44:02,798
"is how a city
can have a soul,
1088
00:44:02,866 --> 00:44:04,965
"like any other living thing.
1089
00:44:05,033 --> 00:44:07,098
"And how that soul
is kept alive
1090
00:44:07,166 --> 00:44:08,931
"by the people
in the neighborhoods,
1091
00:44:08,999 --> 00:44:11,632
"in the stores,
the churches, the bars,
1092
00:44:11,699 --> 00:44:14,265
"the back rooms, meeting halls,
1093
00:44:14,332 --> 00:44:17,931
and anywhere we gather together
to get something done."
1094
00:44:19,699 --> 00:44:24,665
And that, as they say,
is all she wrote.
1094
00:44:25,305 --> 00:45:25,418
