04x17 - Jeannie, the Governor's Wife

[bunniefuu]

Good morning, master.

Oh.

Jeannie, what are you doing?

Oh, I knew you would be
surprised.

I have decided to give your
office a good spring cleaning.

Well, that's very kind of you,
but it's not spring.

Oh.

Look out.

Oh, hi, Jeannie.
What are you doing here?

Nothing.
Oh.

I am out of season.

I can't make lunch, I have to go
downtown and register.

Oh, that's okay. I have to
finish these reports, anyway.

Mm. Register for what?

Oh, it's the state election.
We're electing a new governor.

Oh, what happened
to the old one?

Well, I don't know how
they did it in old Baghdad.

But here they elect a governor
every four years.

Oh, what a lovely idea.

That way everyone
gets a chance to be governor.

Who are you gonna
vote for, Roge?

I don't know. I'm not
too choked up about either.

I don't trust Abercrombie
and Zeigler has no experience.

Do you know who I
would vote for?

Who?
Him.

Me?

Thank you very much,
but I'm not running.

Oh, you'd make
a marvelous governor.

I can see it all now.

Oh.
What have you done now?

Look at that honest face.

Everyone will vote for him.

Nobody's gonna vote for me
because I'm not running.

You've got a weak chin.
Thanks, Roge.

And shifty eyes. I've never
noticed the shifty eyes before.

Don't you have to go
and register?

All right.

Shifty.

All right.
Goodbye, Shifty Eyes.

Oh, Major Nelson.

Major, about the report.
I'd like you to...

Governor?

Would you mind explaining this,
Major Nelson?

Explaining what, sir?

That campaign poster
on the wall.

Oh, that? Yes, it's just a joke.

Well, I'm not amused.
I don't blame you, sir.

He shouldn't be messing
around in politics. Roger.

For once you and I
are in agreement, Major Healey.

Either you're an astronaut
or a governor.

You can't be both.

I'm not planning on being both.

As I said, sir,
it's just a prank.

Well, get it down.

If General Peterson ever saw it,
you'd be in real trouble.

Yes, sir, of course.

There we are, sir.

I suggest you burn it.

Oh, now you've made me late.

I'm on my way to San Francisco
in exact...

Major Nelson.

Oh. Sorry, sir. There must have
been two of them.

Three of...?

There may be one of you
in there, sir.

Yes, uh, sorry.

All of them.

Well, you know Jeannie.
She gets overly enthusiastic

about these things.

Jeannie, would you
come out here a minute, please?

I have been waiting for you
to come home, Governor Nelson.

Do you like this?

Oh, yes.
Hey, that's beautiful.

How about this?
Yeah, it's great.

What are you doing?

I'm withdrawing
from the campaign.

You do not wish to be governor?

I think I'm finally getting
through to you, Jeannie.

Would you please get rid
of all these decorations

and posters and things, please.
Oh, no, master.

I could never do that
to your darling face.

Please, please, right now.
Just get rid of them. Now.

Why?

You tell her, Roge.

Jeannie, you don't understand
politics.

Tony couldn't be elected
governor in a million years.

That's right.
I do not know about that,

but I do know that he could
be elected in three months.

You mean if he ran,
he could be elected?

Of course, Major Healey.
I will show you.

Would you like to see
your campaign, master?

No. No thanks,
Jeannie.

I-I would.
Show me how this thing works.

Hey, Tony.

Hey, come on and look at this.
No, thanks, Roge.

But, master.

Jeannie, I'm not interested.

Hey, look at the crowd.
Man, are they cheering you.

Cheering?

Do you know what you've got?

You've got charisma.

He has?

Charisma?

And so may I present

the next governor of our state,

Tony Nelson.

Thank you.

Thank...
Thank you very much.

Boy, has he got charisma.

Boy, have you got charisma.

Please come and look, master.

All right, Jeannie, but it's not
gonna change my mind.

Look at this.

Thank you. Thank you.

No, it's all right.
She's not too heavy.

Thank you, there you are.

Mwah.

You shouldn't have done that.
Oh?

She has the chicken pox.

Chicken pox?

I am sorry, master.

Hey, let me look.

Hey, whose campaign is this,
anyway?

We've had a lot
of empty promises.

Now, if I'm elected
your governor,

I will see to it that
those promises are fulfilled.

Yeah? Well, what about the
freeway we're supposed to have?

Look at that old road.

What are you gonna do
about that?

Well, I can't build a freeway
overnight,

but perhaps in five
or six years.

Maybe even sooner.

Jeannie.
Do you like it?

Yes... No.

But, I wish you would
make up your mind.

You people will have
your freeways.

The state belongs to the people.

Now, that's a lot of charisma.

Hey, they loved me.

Oh, I told you, master.
You could be the next governor.

Oh, Jeannie, I'm no politician.

He can't turn his whole life
upside down

just because hundreds of
thousands of people adore him.

Yeah.

There we are.

Thank you, my dear.

This is a great day
for the state, governor.

I never really thought
you'd get this bill through.

I promised you I would, senator.

"I have promises to keep."

Does that not grab you?

A billion-dollar
highway development program.

Who's going to administer
all this money?

My state treasurer
will be in charge

of all programs
on the highway development.

Mr. Roger Healey.

Oh. That's mine.

You mean, I'm going
to administer all that money?

Let me see that again, please?

Oh, certainly, Major Healey.

Who's going to administer
all this money?

My state treasurer
will be in charge

of all programs
on the highway development.

Mr. Roger Healey.

You mean, all that money's

going to pass through my hands?

Let's see it again.
Let's see the money part again.

Very well. Oh... Me
with the handful.

Who's going to administer
all this money?

My state treasurer
will be in charge

of all programs
on the highway development.

Mr. Roger Healey.

Tony, I was just thinking.

Since I'm going to be
state treasurer...

Wait a minute,
what are you talking about?

I'm in charge
of freeway constructions.

No, no, you're not gonna be
state treasurer.

You certainly aren't
gonna build any freeways.

No freeways. Good thinking.

Tollways. We charge $ a car.
Huh? Huh?

Ten dollars a car?
What are you talking...?

We can get nine thousand million
cars at ...

Twenty-five cents,
the lowest I'll go for a car.

I have to call my stock broker.
Pull yourself together.

I've got to invest.
You don't have the job.

I don't have the j...

I don't have the job?
That's right.

You appointed somebody else.

Of course I didn't appoint
anybody else.

Then, why would you take
the job away from me?

Because there is no job.
I'm not the governor.

If I'm not governor, you can't
be the state treasurer.

Of course you're the governor.
It says so in the machine.

But... If I run,
but I'm not running.

You're not running?
That's right.

You're not running.
Selfish. You're selfish.

All you think about is you.

You said an astronaut shouldn't
get mixed up in politics.

Yeah, well, that was before
I became state treasurer.

Don't pursue this any further.

Hold it. Governor's mansion.

Oh, stop it.
That's the doorbell.

Oh, yeah, that's the doorbell.

Yes?

Major Nelson?
Uh-huh.

I have some mail for you.

Oh, thanks.

Hey, wait a minute.
Hey! Hey, w... Look.

You must have the wrong address.

You must have the wrong
Major Nelson.

No, this is the right address.

Governor.

You got my vote.

Oh! Oh!

Would you stop?

I thought I told you to get rid
of all those posters.

Look, you left me
with one of these stickers.

Oh, hey.
Money.

Oh, do you know what this is?

What?
Contributions.

Money. Money.

Contribution for what?

For your campaign.
We're rich, rich.

Rich? We got to return this,
Roge.

Your campaign.
We're gonna be rich.

Give me that thing.
Roger, we have to send it back.

Wait a minute.
I'm the state treasurer.

Yeah.

Take these behind the door.
Get behind the door.

I'm gonna tell this mailman
to send this stuff back.

Oh, hello, Dr. Bellows,
how are you?

I thought you were
in San Francisco.

I postponed my trip.
I was worried about you.

Oh.
Oh, Major Healey.

Oh!

What is all this?

Are you all right, sir?
Okay?

Oh, these are letters
from the family.

They love to write.
Yes, they love to write.

I was just leaving, sir.
We can go together.

What on Earth is that?

That's a machine I run
technical films on, sir.

Well, I'd like to see it.

I really don't think
you'd be interested.

Of course I would.

After all,
I am part of the team.

Uh...

Major Nelson.
Well, I can explain that, sir.

There's a very good explanation.
Well, you'd better, major.

Shocking. Absolutely shocking.

Shocking?

Yeah.

That's shocking, yes.

Good morning, Jeannie.

Good morning, master.

You, uh...

You are not angry with me?

Angry with you?
Why should I be angry with you?

Oh, of course not.
Would you like a cup of coffee?

Oh, thank you, master.

Well, I was afraid
that perhaps you were angry

because you did not wish
to run for governor

and I insisted...
Oh, that.

I've been thinking about it.
You are absolutely right.

I am?
I'd make a great governor.

You mean you're going to run?

It wouldn't be fair
to the people if I didn't.

Oh, master!

Oh, I am so happy.

Okay, just sit down
and have your coffee.

Now, I'm gonna need your help.

Oh, certainly master.
Anything.

What is it I can do for you?

Well, I want you to go out
and get me some votes.

That is easy. I will go downtown
where there are large crowds

and tell everyone
how wonderful you are.

No, no, I can get
all the votes I need here.

What I want you to do
is to go to Baghdad

and tell all the people
about me there.

Baghdad?

Just till election day.

Well, I do not see what good
I would do you in Baghdad.

They cannot vote for you.

Oh, no, you're wrong.

There are thousands
of people from Florida

who live in Baghdad
and they can vote for me

on their absentee ballot.

But they can't vote for me

unless they know I'm running,
can they?

I see.

Oh. You are brilliant
to think of that, master.

Yeah, I was kind
of pleased with myself.

You better hit
the old campaign trail.

Oh, yes, master.

And I will see that
the thousands and thousands

of people who are in Baghdad
from Florida

will vote for you.

No man could ask for more.

Uh, have a nice trip,

and say hello to your mother
for me, will you?

I had better not.

I think you're right.

She's not eligible to vote,
anyway.

Goodbye, darling master.

Goodbye, darling Jeannie.

I will miss you.

And I'll miss you.

♪ Goodbye, Jeannie ♪

♪ I will see you
On election day ♪

Jeannie.

Major Nelson.

Oh, Dr. Bellows,
General Peterson.

Uh, major.

Major, will you stop that
whirling?

Oh, I can't, sir.
It's on a*t*matic timer.

I hate to do this, Tony,
but I'm gonna have to ask you

to resign from the service.

Resign from the service?

Well, sir,

I'm scheduled to go up on
the moon sh*t in three months.

You can't go to the moon

and campaign for governor
at the same time.

I'm not interested
in being governor.

You're not?

No, sir. I'm an astronaut.

How do you explain
that brass band

we just passed in the corridor?

You promised me you weren't
going to do that anymore, major.

I didn't do it, sir.

Are you telling us
all this has been done

without your knowledge?

Absolutely, sir. Absolutely.
You don't have to worry.

My campaign manager is out
of town and won't be back.

All right, I'll give you
one more chance.

But any more campaigning
for governor

and you're gonna get your wings
clipped. Do you read me?

Yes, don't worry.
I have everything under control.

It better be, major.

No, The Bowl is not big enough.

We want the largest
stadium in Florida.

This is going be the biggest
political rally ever.

Right. Get back to me
as soon as you can.

Oh, hi, Donald.
How's it doing?

Look, I want you to set
a press conference for : .

I want all the New York papers
there.

And get me all the networks.
I want a lot of TV coverage.

And there's gonna be
a big shindig at my house.

I want you there at : ,
prompt. Right?

Who's gonna be there?

Just the two of us.

Anyway, bye. Bye-bye.

Governor Nelson's headquarters.

Who said Tony Nelson's
not running?

Tony Nelson said
he was not running.

Well, what does he know?

Oh, look, the governor
just walked in.

I'll get back to you later.

You better call him back.
Why?

I'm giving you five minutes
to get rid of everything.

Yeah, but governor, we've got
all these posters, we got...

Look at these.
Put this stuff away, will you?

Wait a minute, what are you
doing? Look at this.

You know what?
Wait, you know what this is?

Contributions, right?
Contributions.

You gotta send this stuff back.
There is no campaign.

"Send it back. No campaign."
Look at all this money.

Oh, boy. Where's Jeannie?
She won't let you do this.

You can forget about Jeannie.
I got rid of her

until election day.
Now, get rid of all this stuff.

Hi.

Hello, master.

I thought you were in Baghdad.

Oh, I was, I was, master.
I was in Baghdad.

And do you know what I found?

No, what?
The American ambassador,

two senior citizens from
California on a world cruise,

and six oil men
from Weatherford, Texas.

There was no one
from Florida, master.

You probably didn't know
where to look.

Why don't you try
the, uh, marketplace?

People from Florida usually
hang around the marketplace.

Master, my mother
did not raise a stupid genie.

You tricked me!

Attagirl.
Will you keep out of this?

You gotta leave me alone,
Jeannie,

or they'll throw me
out of the space agency.

And then you would be free
to be governor?

Oh, Jeannie.
Oh.

But I don't want...

Whoo!

Tony Nelson for governor!

What are you doing?

Sounds like a circus.

Uh, look,
I'm the state treasurer.

I thought maybe
we could get together tonight

and discuss the affairs
of the state?

Jeannie, would you please.
Jeannie. They're gonna hear us!

Shh! Oh, I have not even
started yet, master.

Hey! Whoa! Whoa!

Ladies and gentlemen,
Will you, please?

Will you be a little quiet,
please?

Hey, hey, hey, folks,
uh, the party's over.

The party's over.
Will you...?

The party's over!

Please. Shh!

The party's over. Shh! Shh!

Please. Shh!

Will you be quiet, please?

Hey, hey, hey, folks,
uh, the party's over.

The party's over.
Will you...?

Careful.

The party's over. Shh!

I don't believe it.

But I saw it with my own eyes,
general.

There must be people
in that office.

It sounds like a circus.
Bands playing, banners waving.

Let's go.

Nice.

Would you like to see
my new office? Okay.

Jeannie, would you, uh,
mind, uh:

Oh, certainly, Major Healey.

Hey, how about that, huh?

Take a look.
You look right in there.

Right there.
And I'll turn it around.

Can you see all right?

Hey, Tony. Congratulations.
You're getting married.

Huh?

Yeah.
Oh!

Oh, we are getting married,
my darling master. Let me see.

Oh, no, you don't wanna
see that.

Of course I do.

No, no,
it's a very dull wedding.

You won't like it.

Major Healey.

How could you do that to me?
Do what?

After I've given you
the best years of my life.

The best years of your life
were years ago.

I don't even know this girl.

Then why are you marrying her?

I'm not marrying...

I'm only going to marry her
if I become governor.

Hey, she's kind of cute,
isn't she?

I think we're gonna get along
fine.

Wait till you see that mob, sir.
You won't believe it.

Shh.

Hey, maybe you could
come and visit us, huh?

I'll bet she's a great cook too.

Ooh!

Oh, don't listen to him,
Jeannie.

Don't you see? He's trying
to get you to stop the campaign.

Bluebeard!

You'll see, sir.

All right, everybody out...

He's done it again.

Oh, anything the matter, sir?

Where's the crowd and the band?

What crowd and band is that,
sir?

He probably means
the girl with the baton

and the truck
with the loudspeaker.

You told me there was a mob
in here, and a band.

I saw them with my own eyes,
sir. You heard the noise.

The noise was probably
coming from the machine, sir.

I know that machine.
It has a belly dancer in it.

What?
A belly dancer.

I don't believe it.
See for yourself.

As a matter of fact,
I think it's broken, sir...

We'll see.
Just a moment, sir.

Excuse me,
may I just take a look first?

There she is.
It's shocking.

Simply shocking.

You see what I mean?
She was wearing almost nothing.

I'm sorry to have bothered you,
Tony.

Doctor, we're gonna find
a couch for you

and have a nice long talk.

But, the belly dancer.

How long have you been seeing
naked women?

Thank you, Jeannie.
Thank you very much.

Well, now that that's over,
let's get back to the campaign.

Oh, no, Major Healey.

I am not going to let
Major Nelson become governor.

Can you forgive me?

I don't know, Jeannie.

I'd kind of had my heart set
on becoming governor.

Oh, dear. What can I do
to make it up to you?

I'll think of something.

Well, you know what they say
about politics.
