councilmen but let them build condos out

I should have known you'd be the

two-legged snake behind this I'm just a

hired g*n this developer is my kind of

guy

it was the only possible donor when his

brother needed a kidney transplant the

guy made a bundle ready the people of

this town aren't gonna let you or any

bigshot developer destroy this place you

can't take away Miller's pond why I've

been coming out here for 17 years but

that's long enough

don't be stuffing

[Music]

good afternoon mrs. cleaver why that's a

lovely babushka you're wearing I didn't

hear the doorbell

my best friend's mother all right don't

let Tommy's mother to but I don't mean

it well how thoughtful I'll just put

them in water yes I fathered these

precious flowers might inspire us a to

the legendary artist Claude Monet and it

just so happens I have two tickets to

the Russian impressionist exhibit

tonight unfortunately I have a very

important City Council meeting

oh that's right you're voting on the

Miller's pond development issue I assume

a woman with your foresight does in

favor of starting construction Eddie you

wouldn't by any chance be working for

the developer would you well yes and

fourth king's ransom I might add the

future of our fine hamlet is at stake

when all the facts come in to the City

Council I assure you I will study them

closely

why do you say that uh a boat in the

right direction couldn't benefit your

whole family Eddie are you trying to

bribe me

mrs. cleaver you wound me now as I

recall you're partial to pearls you know

what would look nice to your yard Oh

go

[Music]

Kurt you know I like my orange juice

freshly squeezed oh honey I squeezed it

myself

fresh no is it hey it's okay

not even your steel orange juice could

upset me because before the day is over

contract I have so much money that you

can go back to the dentist oh we took

top of the morning to you sir three

poached eggs as per your instruction did

my life this is fever June don't I

always tell you how nice you look even

yesterday when you were wearing that

stupid babushka look like a Russian

mom will you please get him out of

here I'm not going anywhere until you

tell me why you're against progress your

choice Eddie stairs or the window but

not at the expense of our town now the

council has a very sensible annual

growth plan 3%

yeah the beaver violates that every day

at lunch grandma you get this maniac out

of here I demand satisfaction

okay honey but you haven't heard the

last Betty half-full sheets I don't know

why they say you have such great taste

both threads would have full for City

Council

luckily they come into the 21st century

keeps the dream alive both absolute for

City Council

[Music]

from the dream I ask myself why can't we

all live as brothers and sisters I want

to thank all of you for your past

support and if I am reelected I want you

to know I'll continue working for better

schools and a Meals on Wheels program

for the elderly why can't the world pull

together and make global feeds the

reality and if you elect me I will make

it happen

and in conclusion I just like to say

that I'll continue to try to make NAEYC

of a nice space to live ladies and

gentlemen I asked you know I thank you

the dream

[Applause]

[Music]

important

[Music]

my mom how's it going I'll never

understand how those Kennedy's campaign

all day then go play touch Oh

Joey what happened to you

why don't you bro honey you can't just

go around hitting people and think she's

getting her picture taken

but it's time to take off the gloves in

this campaign yeah mom you know the

Beavers right I mean how else are you

gonna fight somebody who talks out of

both sides of their mouth and says

exactly what people want to hear look

mom it's time to quit talking about

parking spaces and tell this town what a

phony Eddie really is yeah grandma you

know my coach always says if you can't

beat him hurt right I'm not about to

stoop to Eddie's level look I've served

this town as well as I could for 12

years and if they want to buy that

baloney that he's dishing out they can

have him I quit

[Music]

grant you a question now isn't a very

good time honey well it's wrong

important well as long as it's not about

the election okay it has nothing to do

with that

I was just wondering how come kids gotta

do things that grown-ups want them to do

but grown-ups don't have to do those

same things this is about the election

isn't it maybe kinda remember the fourth

of July parade and I threw my baton up

in the air and it hit me on the nose all

I wanted to do is run and hide but I

didn't cuz you said the winners never

quit and quitters never win

me

honey there's a big difference between a

parade and an election no there isn't

you're still quitting come on grandma I

know you can win do it for me do it for

the family do it for me

[Music]

kids how far down see I told you I could

talk mama to get out of the house so

what are you gonna tell her when the

show starts there's no Andy Williams

[Music]

hello fellow townspeople I am Edward

Kennedy Hospital and I know what this

town needs fresh ideas new job a dog

track but I can't do it without your

vote and without my loving wife and son

and these people they're my family too

and they asked you to vote for me

Edward Haskell for City Council keep the

dream alive

paid for by citizens for clean

government

[Music]

give the have some champagne let freedom

reign open up your heart and your wallet

remember the Russians don't want to see

Eddie Haskell elected you think you're

doing

I'm soliciting contributions don't worry

about your mother

save your breath Eddie tomorrow morning

I'm officially withdrawing from the race

Joe quit I knew you'd weasel out I wish

you wouldn't have a prayer if this

election was decided on the issues

issues issues I will if you'd like some

privacy I can always ask the audience to

leave I'm sorry about this

well I'm sorrier than she is so sorry

that after I'm elected I'm gonna name

the new airport after you again

you're just promises and rhetoric could

you take this debate someplace else

a debate oh well now there's a wonderful

idea it'll give you an opportunity to

outline your plan to leading Mayfield is

a 21st century forget it mom

you need to intelligent people for a

debate have to face the elder statesman

anytime anyplace sir the baby may not be

your forte why do I suggest an archery

match is an alternative

who asked you you just named the date

this Saturday afternoon fine right after

I go to the synagogue to hustle some

boats anyway you were a sneaky little

boy and somebody should have put you

over their knee a long time ago and

that's just what I intend to do

you're on issue that issues issue to

issue

but she was tough she keeps harping

about

[Music]

I'm Maureen - of the inform the Botev

committee let me begin by introducing

our candidates our incumbent mrs. June

Cleaver

[Applause]

and her opponent now the candidates will

make that opening statement that's a

hassle

good citizens of Mayfield and might I

say you're a handsome crowd you know

where I stand

so I won't bore you with details you're

not interested in speeches Joran has

been in results and that's what you'll

get if you vote for Edward Haskell and

now it's either I choose to run for a

fourth term so that I can continue the

work that I'd begun and I'm particularly

pleased with the balanced budgets that

the council is achieved my knowledge of

government is based on years of

experience and I hope you'll give me a

chance to utilize that experience for

another successful term thank you our

first question is why do you think you

are the best candidate doctor it's not

important what I think it's important

what you my fellow maithili ins think I

want this campaign to be decided on the

issues and only on the issues I refuse

to discuss the way that it some

candidates are misusing city fire

that's not

I said I refuse to discuss it I also

don't want to talk about who took all

those trips to the State Capitol on

taxpayers money yeah when you get school

but believe it's my turn to speak if

elected I promise you a town to be proud

of or my name isn't dr. Edward Haskell a

man of the people and now mrs. cleaver

why do you think you have a better

candidate well to begin with doctor has

those accusations are just ridiculous so

I prefer to spend this time on my

five-point plan for the future

first I would like to have a balanced

budget and then secondly a welcoming

Boyd 3vx nuisance all for our

landscaping so that all of our seats are

with nice manner but school older

crowding point five is my most important

appalled and have real Lizzy grow

breasts

well that's my five-point plan for the

future

and I think that makes me the better

candidate one of the major issues of

this campaign is the development of

Miller's pond what each of you please

tell us where you stand on this project

that's every intelligent person in this

town and you all are realize the

importance of developing Miller's pond

the income generated from this project

means lower taxes and lower taxes means

more money in your pockets and if money

doesn't buy happiness I don't know what

does I beg to differ

the owners pockets are going to get

lined with money or yours and the

developer who's bankrolling a campaign

there's a bigger issue here another spot

is more than just money

why it's one of the things that makes

Mayfield such a special place to live

maybe our county isn't in the forefront

of progress and maybe life does go by a

little bit slower here but maybe that's

what makes me love it so much why people

can't deny each other here and they take

the time to care about each other we

can't learn Miller's pond I took my

children there when they were young and

now they take their children there I

want to see the day when they can take

their children there

and that's the dream worth keeping alive

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

the Councilwoman cleaver she's got this

one in the bag thank you thank you

but while the momentum may be changing

let's not forget that with just one

little debate the way was brilliant just

won't do

good evening mrs. cleaver hi what a

lovely outfit you're wearing thank you

would you like to join us for some ice

cream

sure Frederick heel thank you

we didn't come by for fries this time we

just stopped by to inform you that I'm

dropping out of the race

well that's quite a surprise it just so

happens I was checking my social

calendar and as chance would have it

inauguration day falls on the exact same

day that I'm to be honored by the

drywall Association what a shame there's

no way you could reschedule the

presentation I'd love to but my word is

my bond

oh by the way that that crack about you

being old

Gertz idea I can see how that could

happen in the heat of the campaign and

we fought hard and you fought clean well

in any case I'm kind of disappointed I

was looking forward to a good battle as

soon as my father until he found out

that all city officials have to make a

full financial disclosure

congratulations Councilwoman Thank You

Eddie
