3
00:00:05,104 --> 00:00:09,241
Scandal rocks Washington today
as Jefferson Davis Graham,
4
00:00:09,243 --> 00:00:13,712
longtime senator from New York,
did something so incredibly stupid,
5
00:00:13,714 --> 00:00:18,550
his chance at re-election is like, zero,
6
00:00:18,552 --> 00:00:21,620
unless they can somehow pull
an even bigger blockhead out
7
00:00:21,622 --> 00:00:23,255
of the woods to run against him.
8
00:00:23,257 --> 00:00:24,923
Face it, we're finished.
9
00:00:24,925 --> 00:00:28,360
There isn't a guy in the universe
couldn't beat our candidate right now.
10
00:00:28,362 --> 00:00:31,597
Too good, winner. No, he beats us.
11
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:35,334
She beats us. Whoa!
12
00:00:35,336 --> 00:00:38,437
Lookee here, Chester.
13
00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:41,740
You're welcome, America.
14
00:00:45,412 --> 00:00:48,947
Current events. Somebody tell
me what's going on in the world.
15
00:00:48,949 --> 00:00:51,850
Stuff happened in some
country, some team won a game,
16
00:00:51,852 --> 00:00:54,887
and it's cold somewhere with a chance
of I don't care. Am I all caught up?
17
00:00:54,889 --> 00:00:56,855
Yeah. Your education's complete.
18
00:00:56,857 --> 00:01:00,526
Anybody who's gonna turn out
well got something to say?
19
00:01:00,528 --> 00:01:03,996
- Lucas.
- All the news is about the elections.
20
00:01:03,998 --> 00:01:05,864
So are all of the commercials.
21
00:01:05,866 --> 00:01:08,634
Why should we care about the
elections when we don't get to vote?
22
00:01:08,636 --> 00:01:11,904
Who else feels that way?
Well, that's a shame, guys,
23
00:01:11,906 --> 00:01:13,939
because this world's
gonna belong to you soon.
24
00:01:13,941 --> 00:01:17,509
- The one you messed up?
- Yeah, thanks anyway.
25
00:01:17,511 --> 00:01:20,012
Oh, so you got problems with
this planet you're inheriting?
26
00:01:20,014 --> 00:01:23,649
When I read the news, it makes me feel like
this isn't even a world I'd want to rule.
27
00:01:23,651 --> 00:01:26,485
Wow, Farkle. I've never heard
you say anything like that before.
28
00:01:26,487 --> 00:01:29,254
I'm a visionary, Riley. I look ahead.
29
00:01:29,256 --> 00:01:33,525
You. Me. Mars. Let's do this thing.
30
00:01:34,794 --> 00:01:36,445
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
31
00:01:36,476 --> 00:01:40,032
You guys are supposed to be
optimistic. Future leaders.
32
00:01:40,034 --> 00:01:42,434
You don't get cynical until high school.
33
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:44,937
Why don't you elect people who
care enough to make things better?
34
00:01:44,939 --> 00:01:47,906
I like to think I do every time I vote.
35
00:01:47,908 --> 00:01:52,277
But the truth is I'm not responsible for
the quality of people running for office.
36
00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:54,480
How are these people even chosen?
37
00:01:54,482 --> 00:01:57,616
Well, the parties choose the best
candidates they can come up with.
38
00:01:57,618 --> 00:02:01,120
(Panting)
39
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:11,997
I am running senator the
grape state of New York.
40
00:02:11,999 --> 00:02:14,399
And I need your votes.
41
00:02:14,401 --> 00:02:18,070
- Kids don't vote.
- Then uh-oh!
42
00:02:18,072 --> 00:02:20,939
Everybody close your books.
It's the end of the world.
43
00:02:20,941 --> 00:02:25,711
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
00:03:27,808 --> 00:03:31,376
- like I was fancy.
- Who was in the limousine?
67
00:03:31,378 --> 00:03:33,879
The bow tie man with the big glasses.
68
00:03:33,881 --> 00:03:36,615
He was a whisperer, right? He
was one of these whisperers.
69
00:03:36,617 --> 00:03:38,483
He came up to me he was like,
70
00:03:38,485 --> 00:03:42,754
"Eric, you are the only one
that has a chance to defeat
71
00:03:42,756 --> 00:03:45,591
senator Jefferson Davis
Graham in the primary!"
72
00:03:45,593 --> 00:03:47,926
That's not a whisper, Eric.
73
00:03:47,928 --> 00:03:52,030
I also don't know what a primary is!
74
00:03:52,032 --> 00:03:55,834
The primary is the first election where
the voters select each party's candidate.
75
00:03:55,836 --> 00:03:58,036
Oh, that's wrong.
76
00:03:58,038 --> 00:04:00,072
Then the winners of the primary
77
00:04:00,074 --> 00:04:03,114
run against each other in the general
election to see who goes to Washington.
78
00:04:03,643 --> 00:04:05,410
Are you a robot?
79
00:04:05,412 --> 00:04:07,913
I'm a real boy.
80
00:04:07,915 --> 00:04:10,716
- Birth certificate?
- Still looking.
81
00:04:13,019 --> 00:04:16,021
Eric, Davis Graham is a six-term senator.
82
00:04:16,023 --> 00:04:17,856
Eric, you don't have enough
money to run against him.
83
00:04:17,858 --> 00:04:20,826
Eric, the bow tie man said he
would help me with all of that.
84
00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:22,828
Eric, you can't beat this guy.
85
00:04:22,830 --> 00:04:27,132
He's done bad things. People who
do bad things shouldn't be in power.
86
00:04:27,134 --> 00:04:28,533
I want to beat him.
87
00:04:30,003 --> 00:04:32,738
I don't know how he does it, but
tell me you're not on his side.
88
00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:36,608
Not. Eric, you don't even have
a campaign team. Who's your team?
89
00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:40,178
Well, that's why I'm here. I want Riley
and her friends to run my campaign.
90
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,116
I mean, tell me you're not on his side now.
91
00:04:44,118 --> 00:04:46,585
Not. Yet.
92
00:04:46,587 --> 00:04:49,721
Eric, they're kids. Do you
really think this is a good idea?
93
00:04:49,723 --> 00:04:52,724
Man: It's a great idea.
94
00:04:52,726 --> 00:04:57,229
The senator took money from schools
and gave it to his rich friends.
95
00:04:57,231 --> 00:04:59,898
Why would he do that? Who are you?
96
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:03,835
Because his rich friends are
the ones that got him elected.
97
00:05:04,771 --> 00:05:08,106
I'm TJ. TJ Murphy.
98
00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:10,876
So he chose his own future over ours?
99
00:05:10,878 --> 00:05:14,046
Beat the bad bad man, Eric.
100
00:05:14,048 --> 00:05:16,248
I'm gonna do my best, Moesha.
101
00:05:17,817 --> 00:05:19,551
How do you know so much about this?
102
00:05:19,553 --> 00:05:21,753
I'm the one that caught him.
103
00:05:21,755 --> 00:05:24,956
I have a website called
"Thorn in your side."
104
00:05:24,958 --> 00:05:26,491
I'm the Thorn.
105
00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:29,194
So letting the kids
run Eric's campaign...
106
00:05:29,196 --> 00:05:32,197
would show that Eric
would rather build schools.
107
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:34,900
Would show that he cares about
our future as much as his.
108
00:05:34,902 --> 00:05:37,169
What's your deal, man with the ideas?
109
00:05:37,171 --> 00:05:40,238
I believe in you. I'd like to help.
110
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,007
Hmm.
111
00:05:42,009 --> 00:05:46,712
I need to have a secret meeting
with my team behind closed doors.
112
00:05:50,817 --> 00:05:53,518
What do you think?
113
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,254
Clearly, we need all the help we can get.
114
00:05:58,091 --> 00:05:59,157
Welcome abroad, PK.
115
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:10,168
As you are about to see, we've had
our share of election surprises.
116
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:12,270
But America loves an underdog.
117
00:06:12,272 --> 00:06:15,574
Matthews, you mind if I
stick around for this class?
118
00:06:15,576 --> 00:06:18,543
Of course, Harley. You're
interested in politics?
119
00:06:18,545 --> 00:06:21,279
I'm interested in why
school budgets are being cut.
120
00:06:21,281 --> 00:06:25,050
I'm interested in why they
take away art and music.
121
00:06:25,052 --> 00:06:26,551
You like music?
122
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:31,823
Without music, I'd do something.
123
00:06:31,825 --> 00:06:35,160
I know, Harley. I know you would.
124
00:06:35,162 --> 00:06:37,829
Hey, you guys. We don't need to be afraid.
125
00:06:37,831 --> 00:06:40,031
We can win this thing.
126
00:06:40,033 --> 00:06:43,735
We just need to remember the wise
words of president F. Doctor Oosevelt,
127
00:06:43,737 --> 00:06:47,973
who said, "the only thing
we have to fear is fear..."
128
00:06:47,975 --> 00:06:49,036
wow!
129
00:06:49,067 --> 00:06:53,278
Ha ha! This looks just like Harley Keiner.
130
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:56,281
Oh, Harley Keiner. Harley Keiner.
131
00:06:56,283 --> 00:06:59,818
If I could do my whole life over again,
I would give that guy such a what-for.
132
00:07:00,853 --> 00:07:03,822
You do. You look a lot like Harley Keiner.
133
00:07:03,824 --> 00:07:07,225
You got like the whole Harley Keiner head.
134
00:07:07,227 --> 00:07:09,327
The Harley Keiner face.
135
00:07:09,329 --> 00:07:12,597
It says Harley on your shirt.
136
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:14,366
Oh, this is terrible.
137
00:07:15,334 --> 00:07:17,702
Uncle Eric is running for senator.
138
00:07:17,704 --> 00:07:19,137
Can we count on your vote?
139
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:20,739
I don't know.
140
00:07:20,741 --> 00:07:22,607
What are you gonna do for the little guy?
141
00:07:22,609 --> 00:07:25,210
I never really thought of
you as a little guy, Harley.
142
00:07:25,212 --> 00:07:28,680
You know something? I'm sure this
school is really well taken care of.
143
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:35,320
What are you doing?
144
00:07:35,322 --> 00:07:36,822
I'm supposed to.
145
00:07:36,824 --> 00:07:41,059
Babies. You kiss babies, you maroon.
146
00:07:41,061 --> 00:07:42,828
(Sighs)
147
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:46,298
Okay, Matthews. You kiss
nice. You got my vote.
148
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:50,168
All right, well, hey, there's one.
149
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:51,291
Now how many do we need, robot?
150
00:07:51,322 --> 00:07:53,171
- Three million.
- And how many do we have, robot?
151
00:07:53,173 --> 00:07:55,674
- One.
- Now burn me with your laser eyes.
152
00:07:55,676 --> 00:07:57,943
No, don't. Okay, do it. Do it.
153
00:07:58,878 --> 00:08:01,079
Let's not. Let's not, let's not. Okay.
154
00:08:01,081 --> 00:08:05,016
Okay, phew. You know, we get
along really well, don't we, robot?
155
00:08:05,018 --> 00:08:07,385
Yes, because with you around I
feel really good about myself.
156
00:08:07,387 --> 00:08:08,753
Ha!
157
00:08:08,755 --> 00:08:11,289
Okay, everybody, up here please.
158
00:08:13,359 --> 00:08:15,894
Cory: In the 1960 presidential election,
159
00:08:15,896 --> 00:08:20,398
a young senator from Massachusetts
was not expected to beat Richard Nixon,
160
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,967
the current vice president.
161
00:08:21,969 --> 00:08:25,437
But then they held the
very first televised debate.
162
00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:28,306
And John Kennedy, the underdog,
163
00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:32,344
became the 35th president
of the United States.
164
00:08:32,346 --> 00:08:35,947
That's how powerful the media is.
165
00:08:39,318 --> 00:08:42,387
- Senator Graham.
- Topanga Matthews, isn't it?
166
00:08:43,322 --> 00:08:44,990
I never forget a face.
167
00:08:44,992 --> 00:08:47,225
Especially one that came out against me.
168
00:08:47,227 --> 00:08:50,762
My law firm opposed the senator's
plan to charge admission to parks
169
00:08:50,764 --> 00:08:53,098
and recreational areas
that were previously free.
170
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:56,301
A dollar for kids to run around
and play, wasn't it, senator?
171
00:08:56,303 --> 00:08:58,370
It's all about making money for the state.
172
00:08:58,372 --> 00:09:00,192
At the expense of our children?
173
00:09:00,223 --> 00:09:04,272
Well, we don't have enough money
and there's so many children.
174
00:09:05,411 --> 00:09:07,412
- That's enough.
- Okay.
175
00:09:07,414 --> 00:09:11,316
Eric, is this bow tie,
big glasses, whisper man?
176
00:09:11,318 --> 00:09:13,051
Um...
177
00:09:15,488 --> 00:09:17,422
Could you say something?
178
00:09:17,424 --> 00:09:19,958
I believe we're here to discuss
the finer points of the campaign.
179
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,726
This is him.
180
00:09:21,728 --> 00:09:23,328
He works for Graham.
181
00:09:23,330 --> 00:09:25,330
No. He likes me.
182
00:09:25,332 --> 00:09:27,399
Oh, I do like you.
183
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:29,200
Who's running your campaign?
184
00:09:29,202 --> 00:09:31,503
- The children.
- The children. Ha!
185
00:09:31,505 --> 00:09:35,440
- Interesting.
- (Clears throat) Yes, interesting.
186
00:09:35,442 --> 00:09:38,877
- I thought you'd like that.
- Murphy.
187
00:09:40,346 --> 00:09:41,780
Wolff.
188
00:09:41,782 --> 00:09:43,415
I'm sorry. You guys know each other?
189
00:09:43,417 --> 00:09:45,417
Another face that came out against me.
190
00:09:45,419 --> 00:09:48,186
This guy's a little instigator
who just won't go away.
191
00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:50,789
- Three debates.
- As many as you want.
192
00:09:50,791 --> 00:09:53,525
- One debate.
- One debate.
193
00:09:53,527 --> 00:09:57,462
We have held this office for three
decades. We will dictate all terms.
194
00:09:57,464 --> 00:09:59,431
I'm sorry. You work for him?
195
00:09:59,433 --> 00:10:01,399
Sure. Let's go with that.
196
00:10:01,401 --> 00:10:03,468
But you picked me to run against him.
197
00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:05,403
You said I was the only
one that had a chance.
198
00:10:05,405 --> 00:10:07,539
That's correct. You are the only one
199
00:10:07,541 --> 00:10:10,976
who has a chance to make the senator
look good again in the eyes of the public.
200
00:10:14,113 --> 00:10:17,415
See you at the debate, kids.
201
00:10:22,188 --> 00:10:25,523
They played me. I'm just supposed to lose.
202
00:10:25,525 --> 00:10:27,092
Supposed to.
203
00:10:27,094 --> 00:10:29,194
- Like Kennedy was.
- To Nixon.
204
00:10:29,196 --> 00:10:31,262
Yeah, but those guys weren't real!
205
00:10:32,198 --> 00:10:36,401
I'm done. I'm going home.
206
00:10:36,403 --> 00:10:41,573
I'm gonna miss you,
Scarecrow, Lion, Dorothy.
207
00:10:41,575 --> 00:10:44,442
Robot.
208
00:10:44,444 --> 00:10:46,811
I think I'm gonna miss you most of all.
209
00:10:59,458 --> 00:11:02,627
Current events. Somebody
tell me what's going on.
210
00:11:02,629 --> 00:11:04,996
We should always have parks to play in.
211
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:06,564
We should always look
out for the little guy.
212
00:11:06,566 --> 00:11:08,299
We should lower the voting age.
213
00:11:08,301 --> 00:11:09,501
We need to treat this planet better.
214
00:11:09,503 --> 00:11:11,469
I don't want to go to Mars.
215
00:11:11,471 --> 00:11:14,272
I want to rule an earth that
has good air and good water.
216
00:11:14,274 --> 00:11:16,007
A good earth for our children.
217
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:17,976
- Both: Our children?
- I want 11.
218
00:11:17,978 --> 00:11:19,978
Split 'em up however you want.
219
00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:21,946
- How do you want...
- You get 11.
220
00:11:23,282 --> 00:11:26,317
So suddenly you guys are
involved in your world.
221
00:11:26,319 --> 00:11:28,520
It's the only one we've got, isn't it?
222
00:11:28,522 --> 00:11:32,590
That's true. So what can
do we to make it better?
223
00:11:32,592 --> 00:11:33,593
You have the vote.
224
00:11:33,624 --> 00:11:36,594
Why don't they let us vote?
They don't trust us?
225
00:11:36,596 --> 00:11:38,997
I would vote to make sure
everybody takes care of each other.
226
00:11:38,999 --> 00:11:43,201
Everybody should have food and
shelter and a warm coat for the winter.
227
00:11:43,203 --> 00:11:44,502
I approve that message.
228
00:11:44,504 --> 00:11:47,138
Well, I agree with you girls.
229
00:11:47,140 --> 00:11:50,108
And, Lucas, you wanna lower the voting age?
230
00:11:50,110 --> 00:11:52,210
Show us you can be trusted.
231
00:11:52,212 --> 00:11:55,580
Find your issue. Find your passion.
232
00:11:55,582 --> 00:11:57,515
Because we don't have enough.
233
00:11:57,517 --> 00:12:02,253
In the last election, the voter
turnout was the lowest in our history.
234
00:12:02,255 --> 00:12:05,623
Change that. Teach us to care.
235
00:12:05,625 --> 00:12:07,659
Well, how do we do that if we can't vote?
236
00:12:07,661 --> 00:12:09,360
Find somebody you know who can.
237
00:12:09,362 --> 00:12:13,031
- Our parents?
- Yeah, your parents.
238
00:12:13,033 --> 00:12:16,000
And we'll listen to you. You know why?
239
00:12:16,002 --> 00:12:17,502
You love us.
240
00:12:17,504 --> 00:12:20,505
Yeah, we do.
241
00:12:20,507 --> 00:12:24,609
You guys live in an age where you can
send your message with just one click.
242
00:12:24,611 --> 00:12:27,679
The media is even more powerful now.
243
00:12:27,681 --> 00:12:29,647
So have a message.
244
00:12:29,649 --> 00:12:32,083
Because it's your world too.
245
00:12:48,934 --> 00:12:52,570
Uncle Eric, it's Riley. You've
been sleeping here all day.
246
00:12:52,572 --> 00:12:54,339
I'm sad.
247
00:12:54,341 --> 00:12:56,508
Eric, it's Moesha. We need you.
248
00:12:56,510 --> 00:12:57,709
So sad.
249
00:12:59,512 --> 00:13:02,113
Did the big bad political men scare you?
250
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:04,682
They made me sad.
251
00:13:04,684 --> 00:13:06,484
Well, get up. We need a voice!
252
00:13:06,486 --> 00:13:08,686
No, not getting up.
253
00:13:08,688 --> 00:13:13,424
And there is nothing you could do
that's gonna make me possibly get... oh!
254
00:13:13,426 --> 00:13:15,960
Oh.
255
00:13:15,962 --> 00:13:21,199
That's just a big chocolatey
bowl of goodness, isn't it?
256
00:13:21,201 --> 00:13:25,670
♪ Get back in the race, you
can put this in your face ♪
257
00:13:25,672 --> 00:13:29,107
No, no, I will not be
bought by your catchy jingle.
258
00:13:29,109 --> 00:13:33,611
♪ Get back in the race, you
can put this in your face ♪
259
00:13:33,613 --> 00:13:38,349
Oh, man, now it's gonna be in my head
all day, you mind witches. Gimme that.
260
00:13:54,567 --> 00:13:56,000
Oh, that's the stuff.
261
00:13:57,369 --> 00:13:58,636
So you're in?
262
00:13:58,638 --> 00:14:02,173
Hold. Hold.
263
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:04,475
Hand.
264
00:14:04,477 --> 00:14:06,377
I won't be needing that.
265
00:14:16,755 --> 00:14:19,657
You know, they set us up to lose, Maya.
266
00:14:19,659 --> 00:14:21,726
You know my name?
267
00:14:21,728 --> 00:14:25,029
Of course I know your
name. I like you very much.
268
00:14:25,031 --> 00:14:27,565
Then help me grow up in a better world.
269
00:14:27,567 --> 00:14:29,033
- How?
- Win.
270
00:14:29,035 --> 00:14:32,403
- You think we can?
- Yeah, I do.
271
00:14:32,405 --> 00:14:33,032
Why?
272
00:14:33,063 --> 00:14:35,540
Because we completely
believe in the impossible.
273
00:14:35,542 --> 00:14:38,543
We believe that we can change the world.
274
00:14:38,545 --> 00:14:41,479
- Why?
- Because we're kids.
275
00:14:41,481 --> 00:14:43,248
Isn't that why you wanted our help?
276
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:50,421
Okay. (Shouts)
277
00:14:54,193 --> 00:14:56,194
That's my niche.
278
00:15:03,135 --> 00:15:07,071
Well, they went to the
woods and found a blockhead,
279
00:15:07,073 --> 00:15:10,241
but he may be less of a
blockhead than we thought.
280
00:15:10,243 --> 00:15:14,612
Tonight's senatorial debate takes place
at John Quincy Adams middle school.
281
00:15:14,614 --> 00:15:17,315
This is the idea of the four
eighth-graders who are the brains
282
00:15:17,317 --> 00:15:21,753
behind Eric Matthews,
mayor of St. Upidtown.
283
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:24,155
Yeah, I know how it's pronounced.
284
00:15:25,624 --> 00:15:29,160
They say the children are our future.
285
00:15:29,162 --> 00:15:31,796
Let's hope so.
286
00:15:36,468 --> 00:15:39,771
Okay. First question to senator Graham.
287
00:15:39,773 --> 00:15:41,506
Please identify yourself.
288
00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:43,474
Thank you.
289
00:15:43,476 --> 00:15:46,110
Harley Keiner, head custodian.
290
00:15:46,112 --> 00:15:51,115
I'm proud of my school and the
environment I help create for my kids.
291
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:57,789
Aw, really? Thank you, my kids.
292
00:15:57,791 --> 00:16:01,259
My question is, what are you
gonna do for the little guy?
293
00:16:01,261 --> 00:16:04,228
I have never believed
there are little guys.
294
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:07,365
I've always believed that all
voters are equal in stature.
295
00:16:07,367 --> 00:16:10,501
I already don't believe you.
296
00:16:10,503 --> 00:16:11,803
What about non-voters?
297
00:16:11,805 --> 00:16:13,604
This election isn't about them.
298
00:16:13,606 --> 00:16:15,306
They'll have elections
of their own soon enough.
299
00:16:15,308 --> 00:16:17,175
Lucas, you're not allowed to interrupt.
300
00:16:17,177 --> 00:16:18,643
- The senator has one minute.
- Thank you.
301
00:16:18,645 --> 00:16:20,445
Time.
302
00:16:20,447 --> 00:16:22,847
Mayor Matthews, your response?
303
00:16:22,849 --> 00:16:24,549
Of course this election is about them.
304
00:16:24,551 --> 00:16:26,718
Every election is about them.
305
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,921
We have children and we make
our whole lives about them.
306
00:16:28,922 --> 00:16:31,589
I'm sorry. Hold on a minute.
307
00:16:31,591 --> 00:16:34,792
Did you just say you had children?
308
00:16:34,794 --> 00:16:38,863
Because you don't actually have any
children of your own, do you, Matthews?
309
00:16:38,865 --> 00:16:43,668
No, I don't. I have a niche and
her brother who's my cousin Auggie!
310
00:16:44,937 --> 00:16:49,407
I have come here to this fine school
to stand in front of you children,
311
00:16:49,409 --> 00:16:51,642
even though you do not vote,
because you're too young
312
00:16:51,644 --> 00:16:53,544
to understand what's
important in this world.
313
00:16:53,546 --> 00:16:56,314
Well, we understand that we want
our chance to get to live in it.
314
00:16:56,316 --> 00:16:58,282
And that's what should be
enough to lower the voting age
315
00:16:58,284 --> 00:17:00,852
so we can get a chance to
vote against people like you.
316
00:17:00,854 --> 00:17:03,621
To vote for whom? Him?
317
00:17:03,623 --> 00:17:07,825
This man-child who doesn't even
have experience in his biggest issue?
318
00:17:07,827 --> 00:17:09,861
He has not raised children.
319
00:17:09,863 --> 00:17:11,863
Convince me you have a right to lead them,
320
00:17:11,865 --> 00:17:15,900
and I will concede the
future to you and to them.
321
00:17:16,935 --> 00:17:18,736
You're right.
322
00:17:18,738 --> 00:17:20,905
I don't have the experience that you have,
323
00:17:20,907 --> 00:17:23,574
but you've been doing this
for a very long time, senator,
324
00:17:23,576 --> 00:17:26,878
and we don't see anything
getting any better.
325
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:32,583
And, no, I don't have kids yet,
but I care about them very much.
326
00:17:32,585 --> 00:17:34,786
But you can't prove it.
327
00:17:34,788 --> 00:17:36,754
TJ: But I can.
328
00:17:37,689 --> 00:17:39,257
Excuse me?
329
00:17:39,259 --> 00:17:43,995
My name is TJ Murphy.
Thomas Jonathan Murphy.
330
00:17:43,997 --> 00:17:46,330
Eric Matthews knew me once as...
331
00:17:46,332 --> 00:17:47,899
Tommy?
332
00:17:47,901 --> 00:17:50,868
Hi, Eric.
333
00:17:52,504 --> 00:17:55,673
Okay, he fakes left. He shoots.
334
00:17:55,675 --> 00:17:58,609
He scores! They win the championship!
335
00:17:58,611 --> 00:18:01,379
They win the championship! They win...
336
00:18:01,381 --> 00:18:05,883
I'm the oldest kid at St. Mary's.
I don't even fit in my bed anymore.
337
00:18:05,885 --> 00:18:07,919
What do you want me to do, Tommy?
338
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:11,255
Are you gonna adopt me or not?
339
00:18:11,257 --> 00:18:13,825
I'm not gonna adopt you.
340
00:18:13,827 --> 00:18:17,261
I don't like you anymore.
341
00:18:17,263 --> 00:18:20,264
I'm sorry to hear that, Tommy.
342
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:24,969
I'm going to California to be
with people who care about me.
343
00:18:32,277 --> 00:18:33,945
I'm very mad at you.
344
00:18:33,947 --> 00:18:35,713
I know.
345
00:18:35,715 --> 00:18:39,517
I didn't wanna leave
without saying goodbye.
346
00:18:45,657 --> 00:18:47,859
The best thing Eric ever did for me
347
00:18:47,861 --> 00:18:52,597
was one of the hardest
decisions he had to make.
348
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:57,001
He gave me up to a wonderful
family that raised me,
349
00:18:57,003 --> 00:19:00,972
but I've never forgotten what
I learned from Eric, either.
350
00:19:00,974 --> 00:19:05,610
Kindness, honesty and more
respect for human beings
351
00:19:05,612 --> 00:19:07,979
than I've ever known anyone else to have.
352
00:19:07,981 --> 00:19:12,950
Eric Matthews sacrificed himself
for the future of a child.
353
00:19:12,952 --> 00:19:16,687
You sacrificed the future of
children for yourself, senator.
354
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:21,959
So here's my question: Is
there really any choice here?
355
00:19:28,033 --> 00:19:31,102
Man.
356
00:19:31,104 --> 00:19:33,371
Look at you.
357
00:19:34,773 --> 00:19:36,974
You grew up to be a really good person.
358
00:19:36,976 --> 00:19:39,877
Yeah, I learned from
some really good people.
359
00:19:41,813 --> 00:19:43,881
And now you may applaud.
360
00:19:55,994 --> 00:19:58,362
Well, maybe we don't have vote, Lucas.
361
00:19:58,364 --> 00:19:59,797
Did you just call me Lucas?
362
00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:03,734
I've always known your name.
I like us all very much.
363
00:20:03,736 --> 00:20:05,836
Maybe we do have a voice.
364
00:20:05,838 --> 00:20:07,371
So, what do you want to say, robot?
365
00:20:07,373 --> 00:20:09,941
You. Me.
366
00:20:09,943 --> 00:20:12,944
Earth. Let's do this thing.
367
00:20:26,024 --> 00:20:29,660
Eric, what's the first thing
you're going to do if you win?
368
00:20:29,662 --> 00:20:32,563
I'm going to adopt Tommy.
369
00:20:32,565 --> 00:20:35,166
Can't. But you can hire me.
370
00:20:35,168 --> 00:20:37,969
I'd like to keep being part of the
campaign, if it's okay with you.
371
00:20:37,971 --> 00:20:40,638
I was hoping you'd say that.
372
00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:45,810
Guys, did you hear? Uncle Eric could win.
373
00:20:45,812 --> 00:20:48,112
He could be one of our country's leaders.
374
00:20:48,114 --> 00:20:51,816
- Yeah, we know.
- So where you going?
375
00:20:51,818 --> 00:20:53,150
- Far.
- Far far away.
376
00:20:53,152 --> 00:20:55,486
- As far as we can go. Good luck to you.
- Bye.
