:16:00
Folks, l'm the Crisismeister.
Shall l call the marines?
:16:07
- Would you care to sit down, please?
- Thank you.
:16:10
Mr. President, Amos Harmon...
:16:12
our beloved mayor of 2 4 years,
just passed away.
:16:16
- Oh, l'm sorry to hear that.
- Anyway, sir...
:16:18
the town council met an hour ago
in an emergency session...
:16:22
and voted unanimously
to beseech you, sir...
:16:25
to be our mayor.
:16:27
Your mayor?
:16:32
- Mayor! [ Giggling ]
- That's good.
:16:36
Yes, sir.
:16:38
You see, before he died, Mayor Harmon
was running, as always, unopposed.
:16:42
And with the filing deadline
tomorrow...
:16:44
we were having a dilly of a time
trying to find a replacement.
:16:48
And then Reuben here pipes up
and says, "Why not get the president?'"
:16:51
[ Shouting ]
l said, ""Get the president!''
:16:53
ln our 2 40-year history, there would be
no greater honor bestowed on our town.
:16:56
To have as our mayor
the most popular president in history.
:16:58
Popular,
with approval ratings in the 70s.
:17:02
- Eighties, actually.
- Uh, 85.
:17:04
- Eighty-five.
- Eighty-five? Unbelievable.
:17:07
Mr. President,
you simply must say yes.
:17:10
Well, folks, uh, even though l'm not
in the Oval Office any longer...
:17:14
l do have plans.
:17:17
Sally, please.
We're in the middle of something here.
:17:19
Sorry.
l-- l was just... getting my coat.
:17:24
- l'll come back.
- Uh, hold on a second. Sally, is it?
:17:27
- Yes.
- Sally,you seem like an engaged citizen.
:17:31
Uh, what would you think
about my being mayor?
:17:33
Mayor? Really?
:17:35
lt was my idea!
:17:38
Um, l think you should do it.
:17:41
And then maybe you could do something
about that landing situation.
:17:46
- The landing situation?
- Uh, yeah.
:17:48
l'm a veterinarian...
:17:51
and l had a critically ill donkey
in my helicopter this morning...
:17:54
and l almost lost her because...
:17:57
the president just had to land first.
:17:59
Oh, l'm terribly sorry.
That must have been a procedural thing.
