3
00:00:02,104 --> 00:00:06,241
Scandal rocks Washington today
as Jefferson Davis Graham,
4
00:00:06,243 --> 00:00:10,712
longtime senator from New York,
did something so incredibly stupid,
5
00:00:10,714 --> 00:00:15,550
his chance at re-election is like, zero,
6
00:00:15,552 --> 00:00:18,620
unless they can somehow pull
an even bigger blockhead out
7
00:00:18,622 --> 00:00:20,255
of the woods to run against him.
8
00:00:20,257 --> 00:00:21,923
Face it, we're finished.
9
00:00:21,925 --> 00:00:25,360
There isn't a guy in the universe
couldn't beat our candidate right now.
10
00:00:25,362 --> 00:00:28,597
Too good, winner. No, he beats us.
11
00:00:28,599 --> 00:00:32,334
She beats us. Whoa!
12
00:00:32,336 --> 00:00:35,437
Lookee here, Chester.
13
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:38,740
You're welcome, America.
14
00:00:42,412 --> 00:00:45,947
Current events. Somebody tell
me what's going on in the world.
15
00:00:45,949 --> 00:00:48,850
Stuff happened in some
country, some team won a game,
16
00:00:48,852 --> 00:00:51,887
and it's cold somewhere with a chance
of I don't care. Am I all caught up?
17
00:00:51,889 --> 00:00:53,855
Yeah. Your education's complete.
18
00:00:53,857 --> 00:00:57,526
Anybody who's gonna turn out
well got something to say?
19
00:00:57,528 --> 00:01:00,996
- Lucas.
- All the news is about the elections.
20
00:01:00,998 --> 00:01:02,864
So are all of the commercials.
21
00:01:02,866 --> 00:01:05,634
Why should we care about the
elections when we don't get to vote?
22
00:01:05,636 --> 00:01:08,904
Who else feels that way?
Well, that's a shame, guys,
23
00:01:08,906 --> 00:01:10,939
because this world's
gonna belong to you soon.
24
00:01:10,941 --> 00:01:14,509
- The one you messed up?
- Yeah, thanks anyway.
25
00:01:14,511 --> 00:01:17,012
Oh, so you got problems with
this planet you're inheriting?
26
00:01:17,014 --> 00:01:20,649
When I read the news, it makes me feel like
this isn't even a world I'd want to rule.
27
00:01:20,651 --> 00:01:23,485
Wow, Farkle. I've never heard
you say anything like that before.
28
00:01:23,487 --> 00:01:26,254
I'm a visionary, Riley. I look ahead.
29
00:01:26,256 --> 00:01:30,525
You. Me. Mars. Let's do this thing.
30
00:01:31,794 --> 00:01:33,445
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
31
00:01:33,476 --> 00:01:37,032
You guys are supposed to be
optimistic. Future leaders.
32
00:01:37,034 --> 00:01:39,434
You don't get cynical until high school.
33
00:01:39,436 --> 00:01:41,937
Why don't you elect people who
care enough to make things better?
34
00:01:41,939 --> 00:01:44,906
I like to think I do every time I vote.
35
00:01:44,908 --> 00:01:49,277
But the truth is I'm not responsible for
the quality of people running for office.
36
00:01:49,279 --> 00:01:51,480
How are these people even chosen?
37
00:01:51,482 --> 00:01:54,616
Well, the parties choose the best
candidates they can come up with.
38
00:01:54,618 --> 00:01:58,120
(Panting)
39
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:08,997
I am running senator the
grape state of New York.
40
00:02:08,999 --> 00:02:11,399
And I need your votes.
41
00:02:11,401 --> 00:02:15,070
- Kids don't vote.
- Then uh-oh!
42
00:02:15,072 --> 00:02:17,939
Everybody close your books.
It's the end of the world.
43
00:02:17,941 --> 00:02:22,711
I'm really dizzy. I've done
this in every classroom.

So they plucked me off the street
and they hustled me into a limousine
66
00:03:24,808 --> 00:03:28,376
- like I was fancy.
- Who was in the limousine?
67
00:03:28,378 --> 00:03:30,879
The bow tie man with the big glasses.
68
00:03:30,881 --> 00:03:33,615
He was a whisperer, right? He
was one of these whisperers.
69
00:03:33,617 --> 00:03:35,483
He came up to me he was like,
70
00:03:35,485 --> 00:03:39,754
"Eric, you are the only one
that has a chance to defeat
71
00:03:39,756 --> 00:03:42,591
senator Jefferson Davis
Graham in the primary!"
72
00:03:42,593 --> 00:03:44,926
That's not a whisper, Eric.
73
00:03:44,928 --> 00:03:49,030
I also don't know what a primary is!
74
00:03:49,032 --> 00:03:52,834
The primary is the first election where
the voters select each party's candidate.
75
00:03:52,836 --> 00:03:55,036
Oh, that's wrong.
76
00:03:55,038 --> 00:03:57,072
Then the winners of the primary
77
00:03:57,074 --> 00:04:00,114
run against each other in the general
election to see who goes to Washington.
78
00:04:00,643 --> 00:04:02,410
Are you a robot?
79
00:04:02,412 --> 00:04:04,913
I'm a real boy.
80
00:04:04,915 --> 00:04:07,716
- Birth certificate?
- Still looking.
81
00:04:10,019 --> 00:04:13,021
Eric, Davis Graham is a six-term senator.
82
00:04:13,023 --> 00:04:14,856
Eric, you don't have enough
money to run against him.
83
00:04:14,858 --> 00:04:17,826
Eric, the bow tie man said he
would help me with all of that.
84
00:04:17,828 --> 00:04:19,828
Eric, you can't beat this guy.
85
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:24,132
He's done bad things. People who
do bad things shouldn't be in power.
86
00:04:24,134 --> 00:04:25,533
I want to beat him.
87
00:04:27,003 --> 00:04:29,738
I don't know how he does it, but
tell me you're not on his side.
88
00:04:29,740 --> 00:04:33,608
Not. Eric, you don't even have
a campaign team. Who's your team?
89
00:04:33,610 --> 00:04:37,178
Well, that's why I'm here. I want Riley
and her friends to run my campaign.
90
00:04:38,848 --> 00:04:41,116
I mean, tell me you're not on his side now.
91
00:04:41,118 --> 00:04:43,585
Not. Yet.
92
00:04:43,587 --> 00:04:46,721
Eric, they're kids. Do you
really think this is a good idea?
93
00:04:46,723 --> 00:04:49,724
Man: It's a great idea.
94
00:04:49,726 --> 00:04:54,229
The senator took money from schools
and gave it to his rich friends.
95
00:04:54,231 --> 00:04:56,898
Why would he do that? Who are you?
96
00:04:56,900 --> 00:05:00,835
Because his rich friends are
the ones that got him elected.
97
00:05:01,771 --> 00:05:05,106
I'm TJ. TJ Murphy.
98
00:05:05,108 --> 00:05:07,876
So he chose his own future over ours?
99
00:05:07,878 --> 00:05:11,046
Beat the bad bad man, Eric.
100
00:05:11,048 --> 00:05:13,248
I'm gonna do my best, Moesha.
101
00:05:14,817 --> 00:05:16,551
How do you know so much about this?
102
00:05:16,553 --> 00:05:18,753
I'm the one that caught him.
103
00:05:18,755 --> 00:05:21,956
I have a website called
"Thorn in your side."
104
00:05:21,958 --> 00:05:23,491
I'm the Thorn.
105
00:05:23,493 --> 00:05:26,194
So letting the kids
run Eric's campaign...
106
00:05:26,196 --> 00:05:29,197
would show that Eric
would rather build schools.
107
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:31,900
Would show that he cares about
our future as much as his.
108
00:05:31,902 --> 00:05:34,169
What's your deal, man with the ideas?
109
00:05:34,171 --> 00:05:37,238
I believe in you. I'd like to help.
110
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,007
Hmm.
111
00:05:39,009 --> 00:05:43,712
I need to have a secret meeting
with my team behind closed doors.
112
00:05:47,817 --> 00:05:50,518
What do you think?
113
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,254
Clearly, we need all the help we can get.
114
00:05:55,091 --> 00:05:56,157
Welcome abroad, PK.
115
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:07,168
As you are about to see, we've had
our share of election surprises.
116
00:06:07,170 --> 00:06:09,270
But America loves an underdog.
117
00:06:09,272 --> 00:06:12,574
Matthews, you mind if I
stick around for this class?
118
00:06:12,576 --> 00:06:15,543
Of course, Harley. You're
interested in politics?
119
00:06:15,545 --> 00:06:18,279
I'm interested in why
school budgets are being cut.
120
00:06:18,281 --> 00:06:22,050
I'm interested in why they
take away art and music.
121
00:06:22,052 --> 00:06:23,551
You like music?
122
00:06:23,553 --> 00:06:28,823
Without music, I'd do something.
123
00:06:28,825 --> 00:06:32,160
I know, Harley. I know you would.
124
00:06:32,162 --> 00:06:34,829
Hey, you guys. We don't need to be afraid.
125
00:06:34,831 --> 00:06:37,031
We can win this thing.
126
00:06:37,033 --> 00:06:40,735
We just need to remember the wise
words of president F. Doctor Oosevelt,
127
00:06:40,737 --> 00:06:44,973
who said, "the only thing
we have to fear is fear..."
128
00:06:44,975 --> 00:06:46,036
wow!
129
00:06:46,067 --> 00:06:50,278
Ha ha! This looks just like Harley Keiner.
130
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:53,281
Oh, Harley Keiner. Harley Keiner.
131
00:06:53,283 --> 00:06:56,818
If I could do my whole life over again,
I would give that guy such a what-for.
132
00:06:57,853 --> 00:07:00,822
You do. You look a lot like Harley Keiner.
133
00:07:00,824 --> 00:07:04,225
You got like the whole Harley Keiner head.
134
00:07:04,227 --> 00:07:06,327
The Harley Keiner face.
135
00:07:06,329 --> 00:07:09,597
It says Harley on your shirt.
136
00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:11,366
Oh, this is terrible.
137
00:07:12,334 --> 00:07:14,702
Uncle Eric is running for senator.
138
00:07:14,704 --> 00:07:16,137
Can we count on your vote?
139
00:07:16,139 --> 00:07:17,739
I don't know.
140
00:07:17,741 --> 00:07:19,607
What are you gonna do for the little guy?
141
00:07:19,609 --> 00:07:22,210
I never really thought of
you as a little guy, Harley.
142
00:07:22,212 --> 00:07:25,680
You know something? I'm sure this
school is really well taken care of.
143
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:32,320
What are you doing?
144
00:07:32,322 --> 00:07:33,822
I'm supposed to.
145
00:07:33,824 --> 00:07:38,059
Babies. You kiss babies, you maroon.
146
00:07:38,061 --> 00:07:39,828
(Sighs)
147
00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:43,298
Okay, Matthews. You kiss
nice. You got my vote.
148
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:47,168
All right, well, hey, there's one.
149
00:07:47,170 --> 00:07:48,291
Now how many do we need, robot?
150
00:07:48,322 --> 00:07:50,171
- Three million.
- And how many do we have, robot?
151
00:07:50,173 --> 00:07:52,674
- One.
- Now burn me with your laser eyes.
152
00:07:52,676 --> 00:07:54,943
No, don't. Okay, do it. Do it.
153
00:07:55,878 --> 00:07:58,079
Let's not. Let's not, let's not. Okay.
154
00:07:58,081 --> 00:08:02,016
Okay, phew. You know, we get
along really well, don't we, robot?
155
00:08:02,018 --> 00:08:04,385
Yes, because with you around I
feel really good about myself.
156
00:08:04,387 --> 00:08:05,753
Ha!
157
00:08:05,755 --> 00:08:08,289
Okay, everybody, up here please.
158
00:08:10,359 --> 00:08:12,894
Cory: In the 1960 presidential election,
159
00:08:12,896 --> 00:08:17,398
a young senator from Massachusetts
was not expected to beat Richard Nixon,
160
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,967
the current vice president.
161
00:08:18,969 --> 00:08:22,437
But then they held the
very first televised debate.
162
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:25,306
And John Kennedy, the underdog,
163
00:08:25,308 --> 00:08:29,344
became the 35th president
of the United States.
164
00:08:29,346 --> 00:08:32,947
That's how powerful the media is.
165
00:08:36,318 --> 00:08:39,387
- Senator Graham.
- Topanga Matthews, isn't it?
166
00:08:40,322 --> 00:08:41,990
I never forget a face.
167
00:08:41,992 --> 00:08:44,225
Especially one that came out against me.
168
00:08:44,227 --> 00:08:47,762
My law firm opposed the senator's
plan to charge admission to parks
169
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:50,098
and recreational areas
that were previously free.
170
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:53,301
A dollar for kids to run around
and play, wasn't it, senator?
171
00:08:53,303 --> 00:08:55,370
It's all about making money for the state.
172
00:08:55,372 --> 00:08:57,192
At the expense of our children?
173
00:08:57,223 --> 00:09:01,272
Well, we don't have enough money
and there's so many children.
174
00:09:02,411 --> 00:09:04,412
- That's enough.
- Okay.
175
00:09:04,414 --> 00:09:08,316
Eric, is this bow tie,
big glasses, whisper man?
176
00:09:08,318 --> 00:09:10,051
Um...
177
00:09:12,488 --> 00:09:14,422
Could you say something?
178
00:09:14,424 --> 00:09:16,958
I believe we're here to discuss
the finer points of the campaign.
179
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,726
This is him.
180
00:09:18,728 --> 00:09:20,328
He works for Graham.
181
00:09:20,330 --> 00:09:22,330
No. He likes me.
182
00:09:22,332 --> 00:09:24,399
Oh, I do like you.
183
00:09:24,401 --> 00:09:26,200
Who's running your campaign?
184
00:09:26,202 --> 00:09:28,503
- The children.
- The children. Ha!
185
00:09:28,505 --> 00:09:32,440
- Interesting.
- (Clears throat) Yes, interesting.
186
00:09:32,442 --> 00:09:35,877
- I thought you'd like that.
- Murphy.
187
00:09:37,346 --> 00:09:38,780
Wolff.
188
00:09:38,782 --> 00:09:40,415
I'm sorry. You guys know each other?
189
00:09:40,417 --> 00:09:42,417
Another face that came out against me.
190
00:09:42,419 --> 00:09:45,186
This guy's a little instigator
who just won't go away.
191
00:09:45,188 --> 00:09:47,789
- Three debates.
- As many as you want.
192
00:09:47,791 --> 00:09:50,525
- One debate.
- One debate.
193
00:09:50,527 --> 00:09:54,462
We have held this office for three
decades. We will dictate all terms.
194
00:09:54,464 --> 00:09:56,431
I'm sorry. You work for him?
195
00:09:56,433 --> 00:09:58,399
Sure. Let's go with that.
196
00:09:58,401 --> 00:10:00,468
But you picked me to run against him.
197
00:10:00,470 --> 00:10:02,403
You said I was the only
one that had a chance.
198
00:10:02,405 --> 00:10:04,539
That's correct. You are the only one
199
00:10:04,541 --> 00:10:07,976
who has a chance to make the senator
look good again in the eyes of the public.
200
00:10:11,113 --> 00:10:14,415
See you at the debate, kids.
201
00:10:19,188 --> 00:10:22,523
They played me. I'm just supposed to lose.
202
00:10:22,525 --> 00:10:24,092
Supposed to.
203
00:10:24,094 --> 00:10:26,194
- Like Kennedy was.
- To Nixon.
204
00:10:26,196 --> 00:10:28,262
Yeah, but those guys weren't real!
205
00:10:29,198 --> 00:10:33,401
I'm done. I'm going home.
206
00:10:33,403 --> 00:10:38,573
I'm gonna miss you,
Scarecrow, Lion, Dorothy.
207
00:10:38,575 --> 00:10:41,442
Robot.
208
00:10:41,444 --> 00:10:43,811
I think I'm gonna miss you most of all.
209
00:10:56,458 --> 00:10:59,627
Current events. Somebody
tell me what's going on.
210
00:10:59,629 --> 00:11:01,996
We should always have parks to play in.
211
00:11:01,998 --> 00:11:03,564
We should always look
out for the little guy.
212
00:11:03,566 --> 00:11:05,299
We should lower the voting age.
213
00:11:05,301 --> 00:11:06,501
We need to treat this planet better.
214
00:11:06,503 --> 00:11:08,469
I don't want to go to Mars.
215
00:11:08,471 --> 00:11:11,272
I want to rule an earth that
has good air and good water.
216
00:11:11,274 --> 00:11:13,007
A good earth for our children.
217
00:11:13,009 --> 00:11:14,976
- Both: Our children?
- I want 11.
218
00:11:14,978 --> 00:11:16,978
Split 'em up however you want.
219
00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:18,946
- How do you want...
- You get 11.
220
00:11:20,282 --> 00:11:23,317
So suddenly you guys are
involved in your world.
221
00:11:23,319 --> 00:11:25,520
It's the only one we've got, isn't it?
222
00:11:25,522 --> 00:11:29,590
That's true. So what can
do we to make it better?
223
00:11:29,592 --> 00:11:30,593
You have the vote.
224
00:11:30,624 --> 00:11:33,594
Why don't they let us vote?
They don't trust us?
225
00:11:33,596 --> 00:11:35,997
I would vote to make sure
everybody takes care of each other.
226
00:11:35,999 --> 00:11:40,201
Everybody should have food and
shelter and a warm coat for the winter.
227
00:11:40,203 --> 00:11:41,502
I approve that message.
228
00:11:41,504 --> 00:11:44,138
Well, I agree with you girls.
229
00:11:44,140 --> 00:11:47,108
And, Lucas, you wanna lower the voting age?
230
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:49,210
Show us you can be trusted.
231
00:11:49,212 --> 00:11:52,580
Find your issue. Find your passion.
232
00:11:52,582 --> 00:11:54,515
Because we don't have enough.
233
00:11:54,517 --> 00:11:59,253
In the last election, the voter
turnout was the lowest in our history.
234
00:11:59,255 --> 00:12:02,623
Change that. Teach us to care.
235
00:12:02,625 --> 00:12:04,659
Well, how do we do that if we can't vote?
236
00:12:04,661 --> 00:12:06,360
Find somebody you know who can.
237
00:12:06,362 --> 00:12:10,031
- Our parents?
- Yeah, your parents.
238
00:12:10,033 --> 00:12:13,000
And we'll listen to you. You know why?
239
00:12:13,002 --> 00:12:14,502
You love us.
240
00:12:14,504 --> 00:12:17,505
Yeah, we do.
241
00:12:17,507 --> 00:12:21,609
You guys live in an age where you can
send your message with just one click.
242
00:12:21,611 --> 00:12:24,679
The media is even more powerful now.
243
00:12:24,681 --> 00:12:26,647
So have a message.
244
00:12:26,649 --> 00:12:29,083
Because it's your world too.
245
00:12:45,934 --> 00:12:49,570
Uncle Eric, it's Riley. You've
been sleeping here all day.
246
00:12:49,572 --> 00:12:51,339
I'm sad.
247
00:12:51,341 --> 00:12:53,508
Eric, it's Moesha. We need you.
248
00:12:53,510 --> 00:12:54,709
So sad.
249
00:12:56,512 --> 00:12:59,113
Did the big bad political men scare you?
250
00:12:59,115 --> 00:13:01,682
They made me sad.
251
00:13:01,684 --> 00:13:03,484
Well, get up. We need a voice!
252
00:13:03,486 --> 00:13:05,686
No, not getting up.
253
00:13:05,688 --> 00:13:10,424
And there is nothing you could do
that's gonna make me possibly get... oh!
254
00:13:10,426 --> 00:13:12,960
Oh.
255
00:13:12,962 --> 00:13:18,199
That's just a big chocolatey
bowl of goodness, isn't it?
256
00:13:18,201 --> 00:13:22,670
♪ Get back in the race, you
can put this in your face ♪
257
00:13:22,672 --> 00:13:26,107
No, no, I will not be
bought by your catchy jingle.
258
00:13:26,109 --> 00:13:30,611
♪ Get back in the race, you
can put this in your face ♪
259
00:13:30,613 --> 00:13:35,349
Oh, man, now it's gonna be in my head
all day, you mind witches. Gimme that.
260
00:13:51,567 --> 00:13:53,000
Oh, that's the stuff.
261
00:13:54,369 --> 00:13:55,636
So you're in?
262
00:13:55,638 --> 00:13:59,173
Hold. Hold.
263
00:13:59,175 --> 00:14:01,475
Hand.
264
00:14:01,477 --> 00:14:03,377
I won't be needing that.
265
00:14:13,755 --> 00:14:16,657
You know, they set us up to lose, Maya.
266
00:14:16,659 --> 00:14:18,726
You know my name?
267
00:14:18,728 --> 00:14:22,029
Of course I know your
name. I like you very much.
268
00:14:22,031 --> 00:14:24,565
Then help me grow up in a better world.
269
00:14:24,567 --> 00:14:26,033
- How?
- Win.
270
00:14:26,035 --> 00:14:29,403
- You think we can?
- Yeah, I do.
271
00:14:29,405 --> 00:14:30,032
Why?
272
00:14:30,063 --> 00:14:32,540
Because we completely
believe in the impossible.
273
00:14:32,542 --> 00:14:35,543
We believe that we can change the world.
274
00:14:35,545 --> 00:14:38,479
- Why?
- Because we're kids.
275
00:14:38,481 --> 00:14:40,248
Isn't that why you wanted our help?
276
00:14:44,820 --> 00:14:47,421
Okay. (Shouts)
277
00:14:51,193 --> 00:14:53,194
That's my niche.
278
00:15:00,135 --> 00:15:04,071
Well, they went to the
woods and found a blockhead,
279
00:15:04,073 --> 00:15:07,241
but he may be less of a
blockhead than we thought.
280
00:15:07,243 --> 00:15:11,612
Tonight's senatorial debate takes place
at John Quincy Adams middle school.
281
00:15:11,614 --> 00:15:14,315
This is the idea of the four
eighth-graders who are the brains
282
00:15:14,317 --> 00:15:18,753
behind Eric Matthews,
mayor of St. Upidtown.
283
00:15:18,755 --> 00:15:21,155
Yeah, I know how it's pronounced.
284
00:15:22,624 --> 00:15:26,160
They say the children are our future.
285
00:15:26,162 --> 00:15:28,796
Let's hope so.
286
00:15:33,468 --> 00:15:36,771
Okay. First question to senator Graham.
287
00:15:36,773 --> 00:15:38,506
Please identify yourself.
288
00:15:38,508 --> 00:15:40,474
Thank you.
289
00:15:40,476 --> 00:15:43,110
Harley Keiner, head custodian.
290
00:15:43,112 --> 00:15:48,115
I'm proud of my school and the
environment I help create for my kids.
291
00:15:51,286 --> 00:15:54,789
Aw, really? Thank you, my kids.
292
00:15:54,791 --> 00:15:58,259
My question is, what are you
gonna do for the little guy?
293
00:15:58,261 --> 00:16:01,228
I have never believed
there are little guys.
294
00:16:01,230 --> 00:16:04,365
I've always believed that all
voters are equal in stature.
295
00:16:04,367 --> 00:16:07,501
I already don't believe you.
296
00:16:07,503 --> 00:16:08,803
What about non-voters?
297
00:16:08,805 --> 00:16:10,604
This election isn't about them.
298
00:16:10,606 --> 00:16:12,306
They'll have elections
of their own soon enough.
299
00:16:12,308 --> 00:16:14,175
Lucas, you're not allowed to interrupt.
300
00:16:14,177 --> 00:16:15,643
- The senator has one minute.
- Thank you.
301
00:16:15,645 --> 00:16:17,445
Time.
302
00:16:17,447 --> 00:16:19,847
Mayor Matthews, your response?
303
00:16:19,849 --> 00:16:21,549
Of course this election is about them.
304
00:16:21,551 --> 00:16:23,718
Every election is about them.
305
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,921
We have children and we make
our whole lives about them.
306
00:16:25,922 --> 00:16:28,589
I'm sorry. Hold on a minute.
307
00:16:28,591 --> 00:16:31,792
Did you just say you had children?
308
00:16:31,794 --> 00:16:35,863
Because you don't actually have any
children of your own, do you, Matthews?
309
00:16:35,865 --> 00:16:40,668
No, I don't. I have a niche and
her brother who's my cousin Auggie!
310
00:16:41,937 --> 00:16:46,407
I have come here to this fine school
to stand in front of you children,
311
00:16:46,409 --> 00:16:48,642
even though you do not vote,
because you're too young
312
00:16:48,644 --> 00:16:50,544
to understand what's
important in this world.
313
00:16:50,546 --> 00:16:53,314
Well, we understand that we want
our chance to get to live in it.
314
00:16:53,316 --> 00:16:55,282
And that's what should be
enough to lower the voting age
315
00:16:55,284 --> 00:16:57,852
so we can get a chance to
vote against people like you.
316
00:16:57,854 --> 00:17:00,621
To vote for whom? Him?
317
00:17:00,623 --> 00:17:04,825
This man-child who doesn't even
have experience in his biggest issue?
318
00:17:04,827 --> 00:17:06,861
He has not raised children.
319
00:17:06,863 --> 00:17:08,863
Convince me you have a right to lead them,
320
00:17:08,865 --> 00:17:12,900
and I will concede the
future to you and to them.
321
00:17:13,935 --> 00:17:15,736
You're right.
322
00:17:15,738 --> 00:17:17,905
I don't have the experience that you have,
323
00:17:17,907 --> 00:17:20,574
but you've been doing this
for a very long time, senator,
324
00:17:20,576 --> 00:17:23,878
and we don't see anything
getting any better.
325
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,583
And, no, I don't have kids yet,
but I care about them very much.
326
00:17:29,585 --> 00:17:31,786
But you can't prove it.
327
00:17:31,788 --> 00:17:33,754
TJ: But I can.
328
00:17:34,689 --> 00:17:36,257
Excuse me?
329
00:17:36,259 --> 00:17:40,995
My name is TJ Murphy.
Thomas Jonathan Murphy.
330
00:17:40,997 --> 00:17:43,330
Eric Matthews knew me once as...
331
00:17:43,332 --> 00:17:44,899
Tommy?
332
00:17:44,901 --> 00:17:47,868
Hi, Eric.
333
00:17:49,504 --> 00:17:52,673
Okay, he fakes left. He shoots.
334
00:17:52,675 --> 00:17:55,609
He scores! They win the championship!
335
00:17:55,611 --> 00:17:58,379
They win the championship! They win...
336
00:17:58,381 --> 00:18:02,883
I'm the oldest kid at St. Mary's.
I don't even fit in my bed anymore.
337
00:18:02,885 --> 00:18:04,919
What do you want me to do, Tommy?
338
00:18:04,921 --> 00:18:08,255
Are you gonna adopt me or not?
339
00:18:08,257 --> 00:18:10,825
I'm not gonna adopt you.
340
00:18:10,827 --> 00:18:14,261
I don't like you anymore.
341
00:18:14,263 --> 00:18:17,264
I'm sorry to hear that, Tommy.
342
00:18:17,266 --> 00:18:21,969
I'm going to California to be
with people who care about me.
343
00:18:29,277 --> 00:18:30,945
I'm very mad at you.
344
00:18:30,947 --> 00:18:32,713
I know.
345
00:18:32,715 --> 00:18:36,517
I didn't wanna leave
without saying goodbye.
346
00:18:42,657 --> 00:18:44,859
The best thing Eric ever did for me
347
00:18:44,861 --> 00:18:49,597
was one of the hardest
decisions he had to make.
348
00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:54,001
He gave me up to a wonderful
family that raised me,
349
00:18:54,003 --> 00:18:57,972
but I've never forgotten what
I learned from Eric, either.
350
00:18:57,974 --> 00:19:02,610
Kindness, honesty and more
respect for human beings
351
00:19:02,612 --> 00:19:04,979
than I've ever known anyone else to have.
352
00:19:04,981 --> 00:19:09,950
Eric Matthews sacrificed himself
for the future of a child.
353
00:19:09,952 --> 00:19:13,687
You sacrificed the future of
children for yourself, senator.
354
00:19:14,990 --> 00:19:18,959
So here's my question: Is
there really any choice here?
355
00:19:25,033 --> 00:19:28,102
Man.
356
00:19:28,104 --> 00:19:30,371
Look at you.
357
00:19:31,773 --> 00:19:33,974
You grew up to be a really good person.
358
00:19:33,976 --> 00:19:36,877
Yeah, I learned from
some really good people.
359
00:19:38,813 --> 00:19:40,881
And now you may applaud.
360
00:19:52,994 --> 00:19:55,362
Well, maybe we don't have vote, Lucas.
361
00:19:55,364 --> 00:19:56,797
Did you just call me Lucas?
362
00:19:56,799 --> 00:20:00,734
I've always known your name.
I like us all very much.
363
00:20:00,736 --> 00:20:02,836
Maybe we do have a voice.
364
00:20:02,838 --> 00:20:04,371
So, what do you want to say, robot?
365
00:20:04,373 --> 00:20:06,941
You. Me.
366
00:20:06,943 --> 00:20:09,944
Earth. Let's do this thing.
367
00:20:23,024 --> 00:20:26,660
Eric, what's the first thing
you're going to do if you win?
368
00:20:26,662 --> 00:20:29,563
I'm going to adopt Tommy.
369
00:20:29,565 --> 00:20:32,166
Can't. But you can hire me.
370
00:20:32,168 --> 00:20:34,969
I'd like to keep being part of the
campaign, if it's okay with you.
371
00:20:34,971 --> 00:20:37,638
I was hoping you'd say that.
372
00:20:39,140 --> 00:20:42,810
Guys, did you hear? Uncle Eric could win.
373
00:20:42,812 --> 00:20:45,112
He could be one of our country's leaders.
374
00:20:45,114 --> 00:20:48,816
- Yeah, we know.
- So where you going?
375
00:20:48,818 --> 00:20:50,150
- Far.
- Far far away.
376
00:20:50,152 --> 00:20:52,486
- As far as we can go. Good luck to you.
- Bye.
