Leonard! You awake?

[knocking at the door]

Hello!

The announcement...

I'm not surprised... George Bush, the GOP's nomination, on the Republican side, for President of the United States.

Leonard!

Len, good morning.

Is Julia Childs gonna come from behind the fridge?

This is nothing.

I just thought you, uh, you might be hungry.

Why don't you sit down, and I'll fix you up a plate?

What the hell happened to my mats?

Oh, they needed to be washed.

How come you don't use the ones that I bought you?

They look nice, don't they?

Look like rainbow sherbet threw up on 'em.

I put... I put cayenne in the batter already, because I know...'cause I know you like spice.

Yeah, I like spice.

Can't taste it unless my ass on fire.

♪ Come back, little darlin' ♪

Why wasn't the spirit of the '60s sustainable, Hap?

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure the marijuana might've had something to do with that.

I told you he wouldn't take this seriously.

You're just slinging a lot of jazzy words around, and I haven't even had a coffee yet.

You know much about how corporations work?

Can't say that I do.

Howard does.

Howard knows all about it.

Well, let's say I had a lot of time to read up on things inside, focusing on their tactics for success... infrastructure, growth, diversification... strategies that were never truly applied to...

Canvassing.

Activism.

Activism.

Our movements fell apart because they weren't held together by anything other than idealism.

We'll take the money from the heist as our seed investment.

That starts the corporation, so to speak.

We are essentially its board members.

Our goals will be as they've always been: fighting for equality, fighting against the man, fighting against corruption.

[pen scraping on paper]

Only now, we'll have the means to fight back.

Yeah, I'm seeing an octopus with a-a little triangle hat, maybe.

Gee, in case you hadn't noticed, Hap, your buddy's not here right now.

And our appetite for sarcasm isn't quite as bottomless.

Oh.

Hap.

Hmm?

You know what makes the world go round: money and connections.

Howard's put in time all across the U.S.... voter outreach, community organizing, lectures.

Those towns, those people he's worked with for years, they'll be our partners.

In jazzy business terms, that's infrastructure.

Oh.

Ten years ago, Greenpeace was just a couple of activists kicking around in an old fishing boat with nothing but a stack full of flyers.

Look at 'em now.

Who says we can't do that?

Hey, Trudy, you still want me to take your shift later?

Because Earl wants to go drinking with his buddies, and I got the baby again.

That's okay. I can do that.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Okay, say... say I was interested.

How... how would I fit in to all... all of that?

Read my lips. No new taxes.

[cheers and applause]

I will keep America moving forward.

I really hope this man does a better job than Reagan did.

Bad actor, even worse of a president.

The hell you talking about?

Reagan was a damn good actor.

How 'bout the movie he made with the monkey?

That was ahead of its time.

No, that was out of touch, just like Reagan.

And you, you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.

Must run in the family.

You don't know my family.

I changed your uncle's bedpan while you and your boyfriend were off building forts and playing cowboy.

You want to know what Chester was eating for lunch and dinner, Leonard?

Cat food. That's how he was living.

I didn't know.

Of course you didn't, because he pushed you away.

He pushes everybody away, like his nephew.

See, that must run in the family too.

[phone ringing]

I gotta mull over this hippie scavenger hunt of yours.

Why are you whispering? Raoul with you?

Why, you jealous?

[chuckles]

I know, a hard d*ck knows no conscience.

Tell me about it.

You're gonna need to bring your g*ns with you.

Thought you didn't like my g*ns.

I don't like gators trying to eat my face either.

What kind of time can you get here?

Told you I had to mull it over.

Now, let me mull.

Well, don't mull too long.

A mull takes as long as a mull takes.
