1. EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS #025
"Everybody Hates Elections"
Copy !req
2. I thought running
for class president
Copy !req
3. would make me more popular,
change my life at Corleone,
Copy !req
4. but the more I campaigned,
Copy !req
5. the more I just wanted
to beat Caruso
Copy !req
6. by any means necessary.
Copy !req
7. Dude, I've got bad news.
Copy !req
8. The entire fourth period
English class
Copy !req
9. is going to vote
for Caruso.
Copy !req
10. All of 'em?
Copy !req
11. Yeah. He said if they don't
vote for him,
Copy !req
12. he was going to kick the lit
out of them.
Copy !req
13. I thought having DiPaolo run
with me would help me.
Copy !req
14. It would probably help more
if he threatened
Copy !req
15. to knock somebody's teeth out.
Copy !req
16. That's okay.
He won't be able
Copy !req
17. to do that
at the town hall meeting.
Copy !req
18. I may not be able to knock
people out,
Copy !req
19. but I know I can answer
some questions.
Copy !req
20. Take a look at this.
Copy !req
21. I think it'll help
with the swing vote.
Copy !req
22. "Swing vote" meant
"white vote."
Copy !req
23. What's that?
Copy !req
24. I redid your posters.
Copy !req
25. We need to take advantage
Copy !req
26. of DiPaolo
being your running mate.
Copy !req
27. Uh, well, where's my name?
Copy !req
28. Down here.
I'd get votes if they didn't
read the fine print.
Copy !req
29. I'm the one running
for president.
Copy !req
30. I think my name should be
a little bit bigger than that.
Copy !req
31. I have another one.
Copy !req
32. White people at the beach?
Copy !req
33. No, happy white people
at the beach.
Copy !req
34. Chris...
Copy !req
35. Oh, that's great!
Copy !req
36. Where's your picture?
Copy !req
37. Next to Waldo.
Copy !req
38. Still working on that.
Copy !req
39. I was thinking...
Copy !req
40. We should
have another opportunity
Copy !req
41. to hear our candidates
Copy !req
42. in addition
to the town hall meeting.
Copy !req
43. So you're going to
have to prepare a speech.
Copy !req
44. A speech?
Copy !req
45. I never feared speaking
in public
Copy !req
46. until I had to speak in public.
Copy !req
47. No problem, Ms. Morello.
Copy !req
48. Okay.
Copy !req
49. No problem?
Copy !req
50. You ever written
a speech before? I haven't.
Copy !req
51. Oh, by the way,
Copy !req
52. are you going to need
an organ player?
Copy !req
53. Why would I need
an organ player?
Copy !req
54. Oh, you know, in case
you catch the Holy Ghost.
Copy !req
55. Uh, no, I think
I'll be okay.
Copy !req
56. Tambourine?
Copy !req
57. I'm fine.
Copy !req
58. Good luck.
Copy !req
59. Didn't Ghostbusters already
catch the Holy Ghost?

Copy !req
61. After trying to find a tenant
Copy !req
62. to help my father
make ends meet,
Copy !req
63. my mother thoughtshe had found
the perfect person,
Copy !req
64. our neighborhood
funeral director, Mr. Omar.
Copy !req
65. Oh, hello, Mr. Omar.
Copy !req
66. Oh, hello, Miss Rochelle.
Copy !req
67. Is this Mrs. Omar?
Copy !req
68. No, this is Mrs. Johnson.
Copy !req
69. Mr. Omar and I are just friends.
Copy !req
70. Yeah, her husband
recently passed
Copy !req
71. and she's in mourning.
Copy !req
72. Sure, she is.
Copy !req
73. Was it... sudden?
Copy !req
74. Oh, yeah, yeah.
He got stabbed on the subway.
Copy !req
75. Didn't see it
coming.
Copy !req
76. Tragic.
Copy !req
77. Tragic!
Copy !req
78. I'll show you the apartment.
Copy !req
79. Oh!
Okay.
Copy !req
80. Boy, I love this wood.
Don't you love this wood?
Copy !req
81. Oh, yes, I love this.
Copy !req
82. We going to get
through this, too.
Copy !req
83. We going to get
through this together.
Copy !req
84. So... here we go.
Copy !req
85. Come on in.
Come on in.
Copy !req
86. Not bad, not bad.
Copy !req
87. So, over here we have
a kitchenette
Copy !req
88. and over there
is the bedroom.
Copy !req
89. Hey, Ma, I forgot my lunch.
Copy !req
90. All right, see
you later, Ma.
Copy !req
91. Oh, cool!
Copy !req
92. Drew was lucky to pick up
that ten dollars
Copy !req
93. before the mice
got ahold of it,
Copy !req
94. 'cause they was going
to buy some cheese.
Copy !req
95. What's the matter?
Copy !req
96. The speech. I've never given
a speech before.
Copy !req
97. I don't know if I can do this.
Copy !req
98. I don't want to get up there
and put people to sleep.
Copy !req
99. There's no reason
to be nervous.
Copy !req
100. I've been working
on some bullet points
Copy !req
101. and I guarantee you
Copy !req
102. nobody's going
to sleep through this.
Copy !req
103. "The geopolitical infrastructure
of Corleone"?
Copy !req
104. "Trading arms for hostages"?
Copy !req
105. "Postwar Grenada"?
Copy !req
106. Good, huh?
I got more stuff, too,
Copy !req
107. on Noriega and the fallacy
of trickle-down economics.
Copy !req
108. Wait. "The fallacy of
trickle
Copy !req
109. Greg, this is the eighth grade.
Copy !req
110. Yeah, but it's trickling down
to us.
Copy !req
111. I want a speech that'll get
people excited.
Copy !req
112. I want a speech that will get
people to vote for me,
Copy !req
113. but mostly,
Copy !req
114. I want a speech
I can remember.
Copy !req
115. I hear ya.
Copy !req
116. You need a good hook.
Copy !req
117. After researching some of the
greatest speeches ever,
Copy !req
118. I tried a few on for size.
Copy !req
119. Four score and seven years ago,
our fathers brought forth
Copy !req
120. to this country a...
Copy !req
121. Float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee.
Copy !req
122. Don't vote for him,
vote for me.
Copy !req
123. Come on. This is serious.
Copy !req
124. I am not a crook.
Copy !req
125. Come on. Now you're just
making stuff up.
Copy !req
126. Once you go black,
you never go back.
Copy !req
127. Are you trying to get us killed?
Copy !req
128. Segregation now,
segregation tomorrow,
Copy !req
129. and segregation forever!
Copy !req
130. What are you thinking?
Copy !req
131. I think we've looked at every
speech in every book here.
Copy !req
132. Maybe I should just say,
"Vote for me.
Copy !req
133. You know I won't kick
the crap out of you."
Copy !req
134. We better make a good showing
at this town hall meeting.
Copy !req
135. Baby, I need ten dollars.
Copy !req
136. What for?
Copy !req
137. 'Cause I'm going
to get my hair done
Copy !req
138. and I have ten,
but I need 20.
Copy !req
139. What is he doing
up there?
Copy !req
140. I guess he's listening
to music.
Copy !req
141. Pete Escovedo, I think.
Copy !req
142. Could you tell him
to keep it down?
Copy !req
143. I got to get some sleep.
Copy !req
144. Okay, baby,
I'll tell him.
Copy !req
145. Mr. Omar had just moved
into the house
Copy !req
146. and had already made
himself at home.
Copy !req
147. Who are you?
Copy !req
148. Mrs. Morales.
Can I help you?
Copy !req
149. Oh. Is Mr. Omar here?
Copy !req
150. Hold on.
Copy !req
151. Omar, alguien está a la puerta.
Copy !req
152. Oh, hello, Miss Rochelle.
Copy !req
153. Am I interrupting something?
Copy !req
154. Oh, no, I was just about
to come to you.
Copy !req
155. Do you have a face towel
I could borrow?
Copy !req
156. MRS.
Pregunta si
tienechampu.
Copy !req
157. Oh, yeah.
And some shampoo, too.
Copy !req
158. Uh, I'll check.
Copy !req
159. I just wanted to say we don't
have many rules for our tenants,
Copy !req
160. but my husband
works at night
Copy !req
161. and he sleeps
during the day.
Copy !req
162. So if you can keep
the music down
a little bit
Copy !req
163. we'll really appreciate that.
Copy !req
164. Oh, no problem.
Copy !req
165. Thank you.
Copy !req
166. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
167. Oh, don't forget the face towel
and the shampoo.
Copy !req
168. I thought I would be nervous
when I got in front
Copy !req
169. of that audience,
but for the first time,
Copy !req
170. I had more confidence
than ever.
Copy !req
171. Hey, look, it's Frank
and Sammy.
Copy !req
172. That's all right,
'cause after this
Copy !req
173. you're the one that's going
to be singing...
Copy !req
174. All right, everybody,
take your seats.
Copy !req
175. We will now begin
our town hall meeting
Copy !req
176. so you can get to know
the candidates.
Copy !req
177. Let's have the first question
for Mr. Caruso.
Copy !req
178. Yes?
Copy !req
179. If you were elected,
Copy !req
180. what flavor would you pick
for the cafeteria Jell
Copy !req
181. Grape. Grape today,
grape tomorrow, grape forever.
Copy !req
182. Yeah!
Copy !req
183. Hey, this is going to be easy.
Copy !req
184. Who's got a question for Chris?
Copy !req
185. In a perfect utilitarian
society,
Copy !req
186. where would a learning
Copy !req
187. institution like Corleone
position itself vis-a-vis
Copy !req
188. the prevailing monetary laws
Copy !req
189. regarding the national position
on the Krugerrand?
Copy !req
190. What?
Copy !req
191. In a perfect utilitarian
society...
Copy !req
192. I heard you, but, uh,
Copy !req
193. I don't know.
Copy !req
194. Grape?
Copy !req
195. All right, do we have another
question for Mr. Caruso?
Copy !req
196. Mr. Burr?
Copy !req
197. Where do you stand on access
for the handicapped?
Copy !req
198. Ramps. Ramps now, ramps
tomorrow, ramps forever.
Copy !req
199. I have a question.
Copy !req
200. What's your position
on detention?
Copy !req
201. Detention now,
Copy !req
202. detention tomorrow
and detention forever.
Copy !req
203. What were you thinking?
Copy !req
204. What were you thinking?
Copy !req
205. "Detention now,
detention forever"?
Copy !req
206. Nice going, thunder thumbs.
Copy !req
207. Oh, man. Idiot.
Copy !req
208. We'll get him with the speech.
Copy !req
209. Yeah, now all we have to do
is write one.
Copy !req
210. While I was debating Caruso,
my brother was debating
Copy !req
211. what to buy
with the ten dollars he found.
Copy !req
212. Hey, young blood,
what's happening?
Copy !req
213. Hey, Risky. Hey, man,
Copy !req
214. what you got
for ten dollars?
Copy !req
215. Ten dollars, huh?
Copy !req
216. Oh, I got this
leopard hat.
Copy !req
217. Mm, nah, I want
something cool.
Copy !req
218. Cooler than
a leopard hat?
Copy !req
219. Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
Copy !req
220. Uh, uh-huh, yeah.
Copy !req
221. How about an Olympic torch?
Olympic torch right here.
Copy !req
222. And that's from this year's
Summer Olympics.
Copy !req
223. And how'd you get it?
Copy !req
224. Mary Lou Retton, man.
Copy !req
225. Are you buying or are
you asking questions?
Copy !req
226. What else you got?
Copy !req
227. Oh... ah.
Copy !req
228. How about a wallet?
Copy !req
229. Snakeskin wallet, too.
Copy !req
230. Coral, rattler,
I don't know,
Copy !req
231. but it's from my
grandmama's backyard.
Copy !req
232. Yeah, I need a wallet
to put my ten dollars in.
Copy !req
233. Yeah, there you go.
Copy !req
234. How much?
Copy !req
235. Ten dollars.
Copy !req
236. I'll take it.
Copy !req
237. The Indians made a similar deal
for Manhattan.
Copy !req
238. All right, brother,
have a good time. Enjoy.
Copy !req
239. Chris, go get the door!
Copy !req
240. Hey, Drew.
Copy !req
241. Uh, I'm Chris.
Copy !req
242. Hey, Chris,
is your mother home?
Copy !req
243. Ma? Come in.
Copy !req
244. All right.
Copy !req
245. Chris, go tell your daddy
dinner's ready.
Copy !req
246. Hey, Mr. Omar.
Copy !req
247. Well, good evening,
Miss Rochelle.
Copy !req
248. This is my friend,
Mrs. Taylor.
Copy !req
249. Oh, we know each other.
Copy !req
250. We both used
to sell Yvonne products.
Copy !req
251. Yes, yes.
How you doing?
Copy !req
252. I'm good.
How are you doing?
Copy !req
253. Okay. So how do
you know Mr. Omar?
Copy !req
254. Well, we met at my ex-
husband's brother's funeral.
Copy !req
255. Yeah, got hit
by a bus. Very sad.
Copy !req
256. Well, can I help you
with something?
Copy !req
257. Well, I just wanted
to stop by
Copy !req
258. and tell you
I love the apartment.
Copy !req
259. Great, great, great.
Copy !req
260. Well, thanks for stopping by.
Copy !req
261. Well, we're about to go
and get something to eat.
Copy !req
262. And I noticed you're about
to have dinner, too.
Copy !req
263. Oh, yeah, we were about
to sit down.
Copy !req
264. We might as well join you.
Copy !req
265. While Mr. Omar
was chowing down,
Copy !req
266. my father's blood pressure
was going up.
Copy !req
267. Oh, no, no,
I'll take the big one, baby.
Copy !req
268. So, uh, where are the kids?
Copy !req
269. Oh, they're having dinner
in their rooms.
Copy !req
270. Oh, y'all got any more
corn bread?
Copy !req
271. Yeah, it's...
it's in the kitchen.
Copy !req
272. Oh.
Copy !req
273. Honey? Would you help me
Copy !req
274. get some more corn bread?
Copy !req
275. Oh, it's right on the stove.
Copy !req
276. I really need your help.
Copy !req
277. Now you see, that's what
I'm talking about.
Copy !req
278. That's what a real relationship
is all about.
Copy !req
279. Bible says,
Copy !req
280. behind every great man
is a great woman.
Copy !req
281. You're on it, brother.
Copy !req
282. I like that.
Copy !req
283. Thank you.
You got it.
Copy !req
284. Thank you. I'm gonna get some
more of this corn bread.
Copy !req
285. All right.
Copy !req
286. Be right back.
Copy !req
287. Why did you invite
him to dinner?
Copy !req
288. I didn't invite him.
He just showed up.
Copy !req
289. How am I supposed to relax
if you keep bringing home
Copy !req
290. people for me to feed?
Copy !req
291. He's not talking about
Mr. Omar,
Copy !req
292. he's talking about the kids.
Copy !req
293. Baby, I just couldn't say no.
Why not?
Copy !req
294. Because I didn't want
to be impolite.
Copy !req
295. You know I like to make
a good impression.
Copy !req
296. Making a good impression was
important to my mother.
Copy !req
297. What are you doing?
Copy !req
298. I'm spraying for ants.
Copy !req
299. Didn't we call
the exterminator?
Copy !req
300. I don't want him to think
we've got ants.
Copy !req
301. Why are we trying to make
a good impression on him?
It's just dinner.
Copy !req
302. For goodness sakes!
Copy !req
303. And I hear you
making that face.
Copy !req
304. Hey, Mom, can I have
some more vegetables?
Copy !req
305. Oh, sure you can, son.
Copy !req
306. There you go.
Copy !req
307. Hey, what's it like being around
dead people all the time?
Copy !req
308. Drew, that is not
Copy !req
309. dinner conversation.
Now go on upstairs.
Copy !req
310. Oh, that's all right.
The boy's just curious.
Copy !req
311. Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Julius.
Did you want any more of this?
Copy !req
312. No, no, I'm fine.
Copy !req
313. Mm, this is a good dinner,
isn't it?
Copy !req
314. Thank you.
Copy !req
315. I could do this every week.
Copy !req
316. Every week...
Copy !req
317. I'm sure glad I came
down here
Copy !req
318. before I spent my good money.
Copy !req
319. You better get down
to the auditorium.
You ready?
Copy !req
320. Yep. I got my speech
right here.
Copy !req
321. You got any idea what
Caruso is going to say?
Copy !req
322. No.
Copy !req
323. Whatever he's got, it can't
be better than this.
Copy !req
324. Thanks, Kashif.
Copy !req
325. I guess great artists
do steal.
Copy !req
326. How much did that cost?
Copy !req
327. Don't play with me, Julius.
Copy !req
328. I went to the
beauty parlor
Copy !req
329. and found out I lost $10.
Copy !req
330. And Vanessa,
my so-called friend,
Copy !req
331. would only curl half my hair.
Copy !req
332. Did you see my money laying
around here somewhere?
Copy !req
333. Here's how that sounded
to my father.
Copy !req
334. I went to the beauty parlor
and discovered that
I lost my $10.
Copy !req
335. Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa...
Copy !req
336. You lost $10?
Copy !req
337. That's $10 worth of dollars.
Copy !req
338. Baby, don't worry,
I know it's got
Copy !req
339. to be laying
around here somewhere.
Copy !req
340. Drew, Tonya,
come down here.
Copy !req
341. You sure nobody
was in your purse?
Copy !req
342. Maybe, but I know it
wasn't one of my kids.
Copy !req
343. We all knew better than that.
Copy !req
344. We knew the legend
of the boy
Copy !req
345. who went in his mother's purse.
Copy !req
346. Did you go
in my purse?
Copy !req
347. No! No!
Copy !req
348. What?
No!
Copy !req
349. Tell the truth, baby,
I'll let you go.
Copy !req
350. Okay, I did.
Copy !req
351. Drop his ass.
Copy !req
352. I told you
I'd let you go.
Copy !req
353. Mama, what's wrong?
Copy !req
354. Did one of y'all find
$10?
Copy !req
355. I didn't.
Copy !req
356. He couldn't look guiltier
Copy !req
357. if his lawyer was
Johnnie Cochran.
Copy !req
358. Drew?
Copy !req
359. Was it on the stairs?
Copy !req
360. "Was it on the stairs?"
Copy !req
361. Boy, if I knew where I lost it,
I would have it right now.
Copy !req
362. I should snatch
the scabs off of you.
Copy !req
363. Next time you find money
around this house
Copy !req
364. you better let me know,
do you understand me?
Copy !req
365. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
366. Good. Boy done lost his mind.
Copy !req
367. Give me my $10.
Copy !req
368. I spent it.
Copy !req
369. Oh, no, you didn't.
Copy !req
370. You owe me $10.
Copy !req
371. Please just get
out of my sight.
Go, just, go.
Copy !req
372. Can you believe...?
Copy !req
373. The one time I thought I had
Caruso beat,
Copy !req
374. he pulled something that
even I couldn't believe.
Copy !req
375. Men should be judged not by
the color of their skin,
Copy !req
376. but by the content
of their character.
Copy !req
377. And in closing, I'd like to say,
keep hope alive.
Copy !req
378. Keep hope alive.
Copy !req
379. Keep hope alive.
Copy !req
380. Caruso wouldn't know
Jesse Jackson
Copy !req
381. from Reggie Jackson.
Copy !req
382. You can't go out there.
Copy !req
383. You don't have a speech.
Copy !req
384. You're going to lose.
Copy !req
385. I'm not going to win
if I stay back here.
Copy !req
386. Oops, upside your head.
Copy !req
387. The next politician
to use that move
Copy !req
388. was Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
Copy !req
389. Settle down, settle down.
That was Joey Caruso who's
Copy !req
390. running for class president...
Copy !req
391. What are you
going to say?
Copy !req
392. I don't know.
Copy !req
393. Well, it was a good run.
Copy !req
394. Yeah, I guess.
Now I'm going to introduce
Copy !req
395. the nominee for eighth grade
vice president—
Copy !req
396. Frankie DiPaolo and his
running mate Chris.
Copy !req
397. Sorry, man.
Copy !req
398. Even though I didn't have
a speech,
Copy !req
399. I did have something to say.
Copy !req
400. Uh... when I decided to run for
eighth grade class president,
Copy !req
401. I was running for
a lot of different reasons.
Copy !req
402. What I never really asked myself
Copy !req
403. was, did I really want to be
class president?
Copy !req
404. Well, I do.
Copy !req
405. You know,
Copy !req
406. I don't know what I can do
as class president,
Copy !req
407. but this is what
Copy !req
408. I'm going to try to do.
Copy !req
409. I'm going to try to
get you lockers
Copy !req
410. with combinations that work.
Copy !req
411. I'm tired
of coming in
Copy !req
412. to my locker and seeing that
everything I own is gone.
Copy !req
413. I'm going to try
to get you
Copy !req
414. textbooks
Copy !req
415. from this decade.
Copy !req
416. I've got a textbook that says
Dwight Eisenhower's president.
Copy !req
417. Who is Dwight Eisenhower?
Copy !req
418. I don't know.
Copy !req
419. And what about
Copy !req
420. that lunch room food?
Copy !req
421. I had some
Copy !req
422. Jell-O last week
that was harder than the bowl.
Copy !req
423. And what's with all the salami?
Copy !req
424. Did someone vote for salami?
Copy !req
425. Do we have any bologna?
Copy !req
426. Yeah!
Copy !req
427. Ham?
Copy !req
428. Can I get a slice of cheese?
Copy !req
429. And if we have hot dogs
on Tuesday,
Copy !req
430. I don't want to have hot dog
casserole Wednesday and Thursday
Copy !req
431. and then franks and beans
on Friday.
Copy !req
432. Change it up.
Copy !req
433. And do we have to say the Pledge
of Allegiance every day?
Copy !req
434. It's a pledge.
Copy !req
435. We can say it once.
Copy !req
436. What, they don't trust
us or something?
Copy !req
437. And how about we get field trips
Copy !req
438. to places where people
actually want to go?
Copy !req
439. I'm not going to the botanical
gardens one more time.
Copy !req
440. How about Coney Island?
Copy !req
441. Or Times Square?
Copy !req
442. Let's go see the Knicks.
Copy !req
443. Let's go see the Yankees.
Copy !req
444. Heck, I'll even go
see Cats.
Copy !req
445. But if I go to the botanical
gardens one more time,
Copy !req
446. I'm gonna slap the sap
out of somebody.
Copy !req
447. Now I know it's been
a long time coming,
Copy !req
448. but as your eighth grade
class president
Copy !req
449. I promise you a change
is gonna come.
Copy !req
450. My name is Chris,
and I'm running
Copy !req
451. for your eighth grade
class president.
Copy !req
452. Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris,
Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris...
Copy !req
453. It was great to hear
a crowd say my name
Copy !req
454. and not follow it with,
"Let's get him."
Copy !req
455. Chris, Chris, Chris...
Copy !req
456. The winner
Copy !req
457. of the student government
election for eighth grade
Copy !req
458. class president is...
Copy !req
459. Chris.
Copy !req
460. Whoo!
Copy !req
461. I wanted to become
class president
Copy !req
462. because I wanted people
to believe in me.
Copy !req
463. But the only reason I won was
because I believed in myself.
Copy !req
464. Hey, Dad.
Copy !req
465. Hey.
Copy !req
466. Good morning,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
467. Becoming class president really
did change things.
Copy !req
468. For one, my family
was really proud of me.
Copy !req
469. My man.
Copy !req
470. Now that you're class president,
can you start a war?
Copy !req
471. No.
Copy !req
472. Hey, Chris, I bet now
Copy !req
473. you'll get all kinds
of girls, huh?
Copy !req
474. Drew, you do not use
the presidency to get girls.
Copy !req
475. Too easy.
Copy !req
476. I'm really proud
of you, son.
Thanks, Dad.
Copy !req
477. Yeah, class president felt
really good,
Copy !req
478. but later that night
I had a dream.
Copy !req
479. Oh, my God!
