[DR.
SIDNEY SCHAEFER] I'm supposed to know so much.
I feel
like I don't know anything.
My whole
...
My whole
world is out of control, spinning.
[SNOW
WHITE] Smell the earth.
Isn't it good?
[DR.
SIDNEY SCHAEFER] Oh, yes.
[SNOW
WHITE] Now is pretty.
Love now.
Love me.
[OLD
WRANGLER] [Singing] The changes that keep going down
The circles, they'll all fall down
Then
there's only now
If I go along with the changes
That rearrange my mind
It's so
strange, my mind
I can
change my mind
If I go along with the changes
A look at
yourself sets you running
Afraid of
you who looked at you
A-running
Changes
that keep going down
And they
always will
I can get
my fill
If I go
along with the changes
That go round and round
It's all
there to see
As they
come to me
If I go
along with the spirals
That
circle around
That I,
that I just found
Like a
silent sound
If I go
along with the changes
That
rearrange my mind
It's so
strange, my mind
I can
change my mind
If I go
along with the changes
A look at
yourself sets you running
Afraid of
you who looked at you
A-running
Changes
that keep going down
And they
always will
I can get
my fill
If I go
along with the changes
That go round and round
Changes
that keep going down
The
circles, they'll all fall down
Then there's only now
If I go along with the changes
That rearrange my mind
It's so
strange, my mind

[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Hello there. I wonder if I might talk with you.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Yes?
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] I'm on the president's personal staff.
[JEFF QUANTRILL]
Did you break anything?
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Oh, no, no, no, nothing like that.
No, actually it's
something quite special.
You see, the president likes us to seek out tourists
who come through
the White House, a typical American family.
It's sort of a
personal, confidential project.
There are all
sorts of apparati for polling the public.
The president feels they're all too cold, too impersonal.
That they don't
really contact real people.
So without anyone knowing it, except the people he chooses,
he reaches out to
find out what you really think, what worries you,
what kind of government you really want.
[JEFF QUANTRILL]
You mean the president is interested in what we think, the
Quantrills?
If I may, I'd
like to stop by the hotel this afternoon to begin the interview.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] That's right.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Oh1
Well, we were planning to leave for home.
That's Seaside
Heights, New Jersey.
We've got a
crowded weekend, but of course ...
[JEFF QUANTRILL]
We could ...
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] That's even better.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] The president likes us to conduct interviews
on the subjects' home ground.
Right. You know,
find out his interests, his hobbies, et cetera, et cetera.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] That is unless you object to having a guest.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Object? We'd love it!
[JEFF QUANTRILL]
I was planning pot roast bourguignon for Saturday. Would that be all
right?
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Total sound!
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] What?
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
White House to Quantrills' in five hours, ten minutes and 51
seconds.
Not bad, if I do say so myself.
[JEFF QUANTRILL]
You drive too fast!
You're gonna get a ticket one of these days, and that's gonna slow
you down.
Typical American
home of a typical American family.
Come on in.
Bing, unload the
car.
[BING QUANTRILL]
Gee whiz, Dad.
[JEFF QUANTRILL]
Oh, look at the time. I'm gonna be late for my class.
Honey, have Bing unload the car while I change.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
I just did, dear.
[To Dr. Schaefer]
Look real?
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Yes, yes.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Plastic. Made it in my own workshop.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] No.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
She's always at me about my driving.
But don't get me
wrong.
She's a great wife and a good mother.
Total sound.
Want a draft
beer?
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Yes.
This class she
goes to, what is that?
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Her karate class.
Look at this. No
decorator. Did it all herself.
Now, getting back
to what I was saying about us,
the Quantrills,
being liberals.
I meant that we're liberals
in the same tradition as the president.
Did I tell you we
voted for him?
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Yes.
When I say
"liberal", of course,
I don't mean
left-wingers or anything like that.
I mean, you know,
we're for civil rights.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Yes.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Sit down.
We've both done
weekend picketing.
As a matter of
fact,
we sponsored the
Negro doctor and his wife
when they moved into the development.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Well, the president will be very pleased to hear that.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
That's great.
If I do say so, it took a little courage.
The Bullocks,
next door, real right-wingers.
American flag up
every day, real fascists.
Ought to be gassed. You know the type.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Oh, yes.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Brother, the fight they put up.
But I told them.
These are liberal
times.
[BING QUANTRILL]
Hey, Dad. You want the Magnum .357 in the house?
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Darn it, Bing. I told you not to play around with my guns.
No, I do not want that in the house. That is my car gun.
My house gun is
already in the house.
Put that back in the glove compartment,
and don't let me
catch you fooling with my guns again.
[BING QUANTRILL]
I'm sorry, Dad.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Great kid.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] I thought you said
you were an accountant.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
I am.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Why do you have all these guns around then?
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
You know ...
[JEFF QUANTRILL]
Honey ... Oh. I'm sorry about the silly clothes,
but we take our lessons at the police station
and they don't have facilities for us ladies to change.
Now, there are
the girls. Listen, I'll see you guys around 5:00.
I thought we
could drive into New York tonight and eat Chinks, okay?
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Right.
[FRIEND] You'll
grow up to be a delinquent ...
[JEFF QUANTRILL]
Wait till you hear!
[FRIEND] ... do
you hear me?
[FRIEND] If you
ever do that again,
I'll break every
bone in your body.
[JEFF QUANTRILL]
You guys won't believe it ...
[FRIEND] You're
kidding!
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] These guns and karate, why?
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
The right-wing extremists.
Disarm them, and
us liberals will disarm.
Right?
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Right.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Refill?
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Wynn?
There's a
top-secret telephone call that I simply must make.
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
Oh, sure, sure.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] You have someplace private?
[WYNN QUANTRILL]
There is a 25-foot extension on this hall phone.
Take it in the
powder room, lock the door.
I make a lot of calls from there.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Thank you, Wynn.
[TELEPHONE
OPERATOR] Long distance.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Hello, operator.
I would like to speak with Dr. Stephen Lee-Evans
in New York City at 246-6598.
[TELEPHONE
OPERATOR] What's the area code, please?
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] No, I don't know the area code number ...
[TELEPHONE
OPERATOR] Two-one-two?
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Yes, thank you very much.
I'll try to
remember that. Now, would you please ring me through?
[TELEPHONE
OPERATOR] You may dial that number directly.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Well, yes, I know I can dial it,
but now that I have you, couldn't you just dial it for me?
[TELEPHONE
OPERATOR] [Disconnects him]
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] [Dials the number]
[RECEPTIONIST]
Doctor's office.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Hello.
This is Dr. Sidney Schaefer. I'd like to speak with Dr. Stephen
Lee-Evans.
Please, it's very urgent.
[RECEPTIONIST]
I'm sorry, the doctor is out.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Can he be reached?
[RECEPTIONIST]
Sorry, but he ...
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] It's desperate that I reach him.
[RECEPTIONIST]
I'm sorry.
[DR. SIDNEY
SCHAEFER] Yes, well, certainly tell him I called. Tell him that I'm
worried.
I'm very worried about the CEA, the FBR ... No!
No, don't tell him that.
That's a secret. Nobody's supposed to know that.
No, just forget I said anything about that.
Tell him I'll call him back later. Yes, goodbye.
[SULLIVAN, FBR
AGENT] FBR.
[BING QUANTRILL]
He's gone for a little while.
[SULLIVAN, FBR
AGENT] Where?
[BING QUANTRILL]
Chinks.
[CARTER, FBR
AGENT] Don't say that. Say "Chinese restaurant."
"Chinks" is bigoted.
[SULLIVAN, FBR
AGENT] What restaurant?
[BING QUANTRILL]
In New York. I don't know which one.
[CARTER, FBR
AGENT] Don't your folks eat in the same restaurant?
[BING QUANTRILL]
Mom's a gourmet. She says there's so many good restaurants,
if they ate in a new one every time, they still couldn't eat in all
of them.
And, boy, you
know what?
[SULLIVAN, FBR
AGENT] What?
[BING QUANTRILL]
Most of them are lousy.
[CARTER, FBR
AGENT] Don't say "lousy". It's impolite.
What'll we do,
Sullivan?
[SULLIVAN, FBR
AGENT] I don't know, Carter.
They'll be back before we can hit enough places.
We better wait.
[BING QUANTRILL]
You gonna kill Dr. Schaefer?
[SULLIVAN, FBR
AGENT] Yes, son. We're gonna kill him.
[BING QUANTRILL]
Oh, boy.
