Dive into the absurdity and machinations of an unforgettable election campaign!

A certain former colleague of mine
A few months before the election,
A freshman who said she feels alienated
A little time to prepare during eighth period.
A lot of them were just spoiled little rich kids
A mistake? That was no mistake!
A really expensive pair ofleather pants,
A school record.
A simple little everyday bee sting.
A vote for Jerry Slavin is a vote for good government.
A wake up call.
A whole year, in fact.
Aaagh!
Aaagh! Aaagh!
Aaah a a a aaaah
Aaah a a aaaah
Aaah a a aaaah
Aaah a a aaah
Aah!
Aah!
Aah! Aaahhh!
About certain indiscretions
About your many concerns.
About your speech.
After 9 years of marriage, we were closer than ever.
After a deadline.
After all, what harm had really been done?
After an inspiring morning on the Mall,
After Dave got fired,
After Paul got the bad news,
Again, Jerry is running unopposed for vice president.
Against West side.
Against your brother Paul, is completely beyond me.
Ah, come on. You've had a hard year.
Ahh a a aah, aaah a a aaah
All his life. He's tried everything.
All of them, can carry serious consequences.
All other candidates are eligible.
All right, now.
All right, we'll get to the bottom of it.
All right?
All right.
All right.
All right. I know what Tracy told her mother,
All right. I'll be right back.
All right. So...
All right. That sounds great.
All that excitement and culture.
All the facts, then I'll know what to do
All the facts, then I'll know what to do
All the kids look up to you.
All we need to do is send a message.
Alleluia
Also have an opportunity
Also, I'm nervous about the election tomorrow
An educator,
And 290 disregards, right?
And all the exciting things I'm doing,
And as president, I won't do anything.
And ask them how they got to be where they are
And at the end of the year, me and my buddies
And be very, very grateful
And bright future,
And can't afford to buy him enough spiral notebooks
And check your work. I'll be right back.
And do a really good job and be a good president.
And doing whatever you need to do to get ahead
And early rushed PhiDelts.
And ethics are the basis of...
And even if I can't really stand up for you, I will.
And every day after school
And everyone makes the same pathetic promises
And everything, and it is kind of weird.
And feel really bad and apologize
And filed for divorce.
And for every other student here at Carver.
And for over a year, we hadn't had any luck.
And get poured into your tomb.
And give them trucks on their 16th birthday
And give these candidates the courtesy they deserve,
And giving person she was.
And got your assignments for you.
And gotten so mushy,
And grow as individuals in the community.
And have won many successful lawsuits.
And he accepted.
And helping her make it through a difficult time.
And here I am on KCHS, our student run TV station.
And how I still want to do something for the school and...
And how there's all different kinds of fruits and, uh...
And how this turns out,
And I couldn't imagine doing anything else.
And I didn't have enough time to study.
And I don't care.
And I for one would really like that time to be...
And I got into Georgetown, like I wanted,
And I guess I want to win and all,
And I have permission to do so.
And I just couldn't wait to get out of there.
And I know that sometimes people like you
And I love her so much.
And I love her so much.
And I love you
And I love you
And I promise we can all score a winning touchdown together.
And I really think we should talk.
And I suddenly realized I wasn't angry at her anymore.
And I think certain older people,
And I think I made a difference.
And I think it really reflected poorly on all ofus.
And I think you are one of the most talented,
And I threw the fourth quarter pass against Westside
And I took that responsibility seriously.
And I volunteered for every committee,
And I will be a dedicated vice president.
And I'd be expelled. Sounded good to me.
And I'll accept it, and forgive me for my sins,
And I'll take a look at them tomorrow.
And I'm cozy enough.
And I'm here. Everything's all set,
And I'm not talking about
And I'm sure everything's gonna be just fine.
And I'm very grateful.
And I've started seeing someone new.
And if you try to interfere,
And if you want to keep questioning me like this,
And it could be for, like, muscular dystrophy.
And know how much I still love her.
And lied and cheated her way into winning that election.
And make loads of money,
And maybe go on to the playoffs and...
And morals...
And move to big cities and do great things
And no matter what they say he did or did not do,
And now I'm asking that You go that one last mile
And now she works as a paralegal.
And now you can make a decision.
And redo it.
And sedimentary anyway?
And she got in just under the wire.
And she knew exactly what to do.
And she's super nice.
And so did I,
And so far, she was running unopposed.
And someday I want to be
And suddenly decided to run for president?
And taps you on the shoulder.
And that is help people.
And that price is loneliness.
And the experience has made me reevaluate
And the next thing you know, she's my girlfriend.
And the rent's pretty darn steep,
And the weather was so nice.
And the worst was over.
And their chances to win certain elections.
And then boom, she goes after my football buddy Randy.
And then for home coming,
And then I think about what her life must be like...
And then on Halloween, a haunted house.
And then you can do the second count,
And there's no time to make any more.
And they certainly shouldn't be
And they were supposedly way more strict.
And throw them big parties all the time.
And together we customized 480 cupcakes.
And together, we can all make a difference.
And Tracy wants me to write it so she can read it.
And trained educators like myself...
And try to take away
And we got to talking.
And we have to learn that our actions,
And we hit it off right away.
And we're not in love.
And we're not in love.
And we're solo fliers.
And we've come to a decision that we...
And we've got a situation here.
And what advice do they have for me,
And wilder and wilder.
And you can't let anything or anyone stand in your way.
And you didn't tell me in advance,
And you don't crack under pressure,
And you give him a treat.
And you ruined my life, do you know that?
And you'll be treated like children.
And you'll just suffer.
And, in the end, you're only cheating yourself.
And, uh, I came by at 3:25, like we said,
Anybody who gets signatures in on time can run,
Anybody?
Anybody?
Anything wrong?
Apples, apples, more apples.
Apples.
Apples.
Approved.
Are paralegal secretaries
Are so well fought that it seems unfair
Are totally, totally...
Are truly destined to be special,
Are you accusing me?
Are you crazy?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Are you OK, Mr. McAllister?
Are you OK?
Are you there? Pick up.
Aren't just popularity contests.
Aren't you supposed to keep them?
Around that time,
As far as Mr. McAllister was concerned,
As it is in heaven. Amen.
As long as I could lead it.
As many of you know,
As soon as the winners are announced,
As you know, with my many responsibilities,
As You well know.
Asked me for a ride home and ended up blowing me.
At Carver High.
At Shadow Ridge over Christmas break.
At the city's biggest law firm
At the Museum of Natural History.
Attention, everyone.
Back to class.
Be modest. Thank them for this incredible honor.
Because I deserve it and Paul Metzler doesn't,
Because I don't even wanna go to college,
Because I have a legal responsibility here.
Because I think you did it.
Because I'd really like to kick off my campaign
Because their fathers own Metzler Cement
Because they never wanted to leave high school
Because what happened last time was a travesty.
Before the big game.
Being suspended is like getting a paid vacation.
Being the kind of person you are,
Besides, I'd always dreamed of living in New York.
Besides, it's great not needing a car.
Besides, my own best banner was torn down.
Besides, nobody had heard from him in a long time.
Better let it run for a while.
Between Linda and me was too real,
But after hunting around for a while,
But basically, he was a good guy.
But every vote was accounted for.
But I admired Tracy. I really did.
But I got elected homecoming king and prom king.
But I know that's totally up to You.
But I left very early, around 6:30.
But I love you.
But I still couldn't shake the feeling
But I sure am worried about Tammy.
But I think it's important to be honest,
But I wasn't going down without a fight.
But in that moment, all the bad memories,
But it just seemed like the closer we got,
But it seemed like there was always a reason to wait:
But it was in the S.G.A.,
But it wasn't like that at all.
But it wasn't like that at all.
But it's got a lot of character.
But maybe if certain older, wiser people
But mostly it was her face.
But nothing could be further from the truth.
But now I really must insist
But once we started, we knew there was no turning back.
But one day maybe you'll learn
But other people can see them, too.
But she can be a little bit much sometimes.
But since I'll be starting Catholic school soon,
But sometimes she does get so weird and angry.
But that had nothing to do with it at all.
But that's OK. I respect your privacy,
But then one day...
But there is, for just one example,
But they can sure be better.
But they were there. I counted 803 votes.
But Tracy Flick, she was a special case.
But we'd always seen them through.
But we'll get to the bottom of it.
But what if Coach Henderson walks in?
But you could get away with murder.
But you haven't written your novel.
But you know, even with all my my riad accomplishments
But you know, winning isn't everything.
But, instead, I just stood there.
But, Mr. M, there's...
But, Mr. M...
By people just like me who work very hard
Calm down, Tracy. Just calm down.
Can I have an 'A'? Can I have a recommendation?
Can't even get their own wives pregnant,
Cast out of society,
Catholic school was great.
Celebrating my victory, and you're here.
Check the register.
Civics, and current events at Carver,
Close the door behind you.
Close the door.
Come and go over the years,
Come behind him, really helped him out
Come on, baby. Come on.
Come on, Wolverines!
Come on. Do it. Do it.
Could you approve them now
Council...
Dave came to Carver the year after I did,
Dave was one of those guys who taught
Dave...
Dear God,
Dear God, thank You
Dear Lord Jesus,
Defense! Let's go!
Derek.
Determined by a culture at a certain time in history.
Determined ineligible, I repeat, ineligible
Diane really wanted to have kids,
Diane.
Did I do that, too?
Did you cross the line with this girl?
Did you guys have fun?
Did you know that?
Did you want the same room?
Didn't bother me at all!
Do it, Jim. Fill me up.
Do it, Jim. Fuck me.
Do it. Fuck me, Mr. M. Fuck me!
Do people always just vote for themselves?
Do you realize that? Huh? Doyou?
Do you really think it's gonna change anything around here,
Do you want an apple
Don't forget to vote tomorrow.
Don't forget to vote tomorrow.
Don't go anywhere, Tracy.
Don't miss a thing
Don't miss a thing
Don't say that. You know it's not true.
Don't tell me that.
Don't tell me that. I don't want to know that.
Don't vote at all!
Don't worry about Tracy.
Don't you fucking knock?
Don't you?
Door was open.
Dr. Hendricks?
Driven from his home,
During their difficult young adult years.
During this campaign, I've spoken with many of you
Easy, Falch. I don't like where you're going.
Eat me raw!
Eat me!
Eat me.
Effective this morning sophomore Tammy Metzler
El, ella, usted?
End of story.
Eric, you can't put tape on the outside of the poster.
Especially when certain young, naive people's mothers
Ethics are rules of conduct...
Evaporated.
Even if you got a rotten one once in a while.
Even though you're adopted,
Every day I found a new way to tell Lisa
Every vote was there when you sat down.
Everybody can make their speeches,
Everybody else seemed so happy,
Everything he believes in.
Exactly the same as Mr. McAllister's.
Experimenting.
Experimenting.
Fact is, I have never seen a mother so upset.
Falch, that's enough.
Fill me up.
Fill me up.
Fill me up.
Fill me up.
Fill me up.
Fill me up. Come on.
Finally, we just decided to go for it.
Fine.
Fine.
Fine. So do your count.
First, Lisa has a big fight with my sister,
For all Your blessings.
For at least a couple ofyears, if not forever,
For being a super campaign manager.
For centuries, people have come to New York
For her, it was 17.
For his whole life,
For how she hurt me
For me, it was 11 minutes.
For S.G.A. president.
For someone to win...
For the first time in years,
For the touchdown that won the game by 3 points.
For what?
For what?
From Carver.
From her own home room.
From our principal, Dr. Hendricks.
Fuck me hard, Mr. McAllister.
Fuck me, Mr. McAllister. Fuck me hard!
Fuck them.
Get out, Paul!
Giving her our love and support
Go on home.
God. Oh, God!
Good girl.
Good job.
Good luck there, Tracy.
Good luck.
Good morning, Mr. M.
Good morning, students.
Gracias.
Ha ha ha ha!
Had been a good thing,
Had decided to run against me,
Hadn't acted like such little babies
Happen to be girls.
Hard we have to tell you.
Hard working, sensitive, attractive,
Harder! Fuck me! Please!
Harder! Harder!
Harmonious and productive.
Harmonious and productive.
Has been... Metzler has been
Have a nice day.
Have a nice day.
Have a nice day.
Have a seat.
Have been talking,
Have to pay a price for their greatness.
He calls me in, and he tells me...
He ended up moving back to Milwaukee
He goes on and on and on.
He should've just accepted things as they are,
He was no competition for me.
He's fed up with you. Fed up,
He's gotta be at least a little jealous.
He's lucky he's not in jail.
He's right. 2 people must have pocketed their ballots.
He's... He's going places. You should be very proud.
Hendricks told me, One more time
Her name is Jillian.
Her pussy gets so wet you can't believe it.
Here I am as Hodel in FiddlerOn The Roof.
Here they are.
Here?
Here.
Here. This one's clean.
Hey, ifyou can't be adults
Hey, Linda, it's me.
Hey, look, you're all alone.
Hey, Mr. McAllister. Not wasting any time, are you, Tracy?
Hey, P.J.
Hey, take me to that motel,
Hey, what happened to your eye?
Hey, you! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Whee!
Hi, Dick Metzler.
Hi, Paul.
Hi, Tracy.
Hi. You've reached the Novotnys.
Hi. You've reached the Novotnys.
Hiya, Jim.
How can he survive?
How can something that seemed so true
How do you know what time the posters were torn down?
How many people would suffer because of her?
How many people would suffer because of her?
How'd it go?
How'd you get into the school?
How's that?
Huh?
Human beings I have ever met.
I agree with Ashley!
I agree, and I also think
I also like bananas.
I began to see what an incredibly sensitive
I believe he is a good man.
I broke my leg pretty bad this year,
I can't afford this stuff right now.
I can't even read that.
I can't wait to start campaigning.
I can't wait to start campaigning.
I can't.
I cannot make my days longer,
I could taste it,
I did it.
I did it. I'm the one who tore down Paul's posters.
I didn't make a mistake.
I don't blame Tracy for what happened with Dave.
I don't care.
I don't know anything about that stuff, Mr. M.
I don't know why,
I don't know.
I don't know. All I know is I did it.
I don't know. maybe I'm wrong, but...
I don't know... Yesterday, Sunday.
I don't need a lecture on ethics.
I feel sorry for Mr. McAllister.
I felt free and alive.
I fiigured we just needed a little time
I fiinally landed a position in the education department
I get, uh, 256 for Paul, 255 forTracy.
I got all my signatures.
I got into Nebraska, like I wanted,
I got involved.
I got the car.
I gotta go.
I guess I don't have to tell you
I guess it really is like Dave said,
I guess that's how come they stay number one.
I guess you better get to work, huh?
I guess you know why you're here.
I had always liked Linda, but we'd never had a chance
I had to get my master's,
I had to stop her...
I have a playwe can practice.
I have other things going on, too, you know.
I have proof.
I hope you can help us clear something up.
I just don't think somebody
I just felt like it's not right to vote foryourself.
I just felt sorry for her.
I just need to get it out there.
I just want to thank, uh, Lisa Flanagan
I just... I don't know,
I know because it happened to me.
I know I don't believe in You,
I know what it is to fight hard and win,
I know.
I know.
I love
I love Carver High.
I mean where is she really trying to get to anyway?
I mean, anyone who's stuck in the same little room,
I mean, at you.
I mean, besides, that's Tracy Flick's thing.
I mean, getting everybody all riled up like that.
I mean, her whole thing
I mean, I saw her face after the assembly.
I mean, life is so weird.
I mean, nothing.
I mean, that'd be more like a dictatorship
I mean, that's what's great about America.
I mean, the teachers kind of sucked,
I mean, we're brother and sister.
I mean, when I think about my new life
I mean, you should hear him.
I mean, you're the best.
I missed our talks.
I need to hear this from you
I never missed a single meeting.
I notice that you don't seem to have
I noticed it was a little low for you.
I offered my resignation,
I often have to come in on the weekend.
I promise to do my best
I realize that it was Your divine hand
I realized it was time to get out of Omaha
I really do.
I said no.
I sit and watch the power station.
I spoke with Eliza Ramirez,
I spoke with sophomore Reggie Banks
I stood in line just like everyone else.
I tell you, that little bitch
I think it's a travesty.
I think it's awful.
I think that's...
I think we have a problem.
I think we should rent the barrels ahead of time
I think you should know.
I thought I should at least practice.
I thought I'd fiinally be among people who were like me.
I thought you were supposed to keep them.
I told you.
I told you.
I told you. I can't.
I understand disappointment.
I want her out of this election.
I want Lisa to realize what a bitch she is
I want our school to reach its true potential.
I want to get
I want to get
I want to go to school again
I want you to focus on your studies.
I want you two to go back,
I wanted everything to be perfect
I was a teacher,
I was about to announce my tally when...
I was at the end of my count when it happened.
I was down in Washington for a museum educator's conference,
I was in the top seventh percentile
I was looking for a father figure.
I was so mad at God when I broke my leg
I was sure that fiinally I'd make some true friends.
I was thinking it would be cool
I was voted Teacher of the Year 3 times.
I won't let you down like I didn't then,
I wonder what he's doing now.
I wonder what that would feel like.
I would throw myself under one of my dad's cement trucks
I... I just thought, you know,
I... I made a mistake and I...
I... I've got the whole thing right here!
I'd be the one surrounded by friends.
I'd come up with exactly the same numbers as Larry:
I'd have exactly 48 minutes
I'd seen a lot of ambitious students
I'djust like to add
I'll be there ahead oftime
I'll be tight end.
I'll do the first count.
I'll leave Darryl with a sitter.
I'll never know ifshe saw me.
I'm attracted to the person.
I'm giving you helpful information, that's all.
I'm going to talk to Mr. M about some important stuff,
I'm just glad it's over.
I'm just reviewing my playbook.
I'm not a dyke.
I'm not like you, OK?
I'm not talking about ethics.
I'm sorry for all the messages, but, uh...
I'm sorry, Dr. Hendricks,
I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm going nuts here,
I'm talking about morals.
I've accomplished so far,
I've come to see the star quarterback
I've got a whole new life.
I've got Tracy by a vote.
I've gotta get home.
I've never met anyone quite like her.
If it's about the posters,
If Mr. McAllister hadn't meddled the way he did.
If Paul loses this election tomorrow,
If they've changed in anyway, I can...
If we can just get started.
If you died right now,
If you finish early, just sit quietly
If you say so.
If you'll be
If you'll be
If you'll be
If you're gonna be great, you've got to be lonely.
In love.
In my heart I still can't believe
In spite of everything, I still want Paul
In the 12 years I taught U.S. history,
In the end, she took almost everything,
In the end, she took almost everything,
In the fall.
In your own house?
Interrogating me,
Is another one ofthe Metzler clan,
Is being anti this and anti that.
Is it about Tammy?
Is Paul Metzler.
Is that funny? You think it's funny?
Is that I'm an only child,
Is that still running clear?
Is that what you wanted?
Is the one who gets elected.
Is this OK?
Is to chose a winner, and that you have done.
Is Tracy Flick.
It all came flooding back.
It doesn't make sense.
It goes on the back ofthe poster.
It happens, Larry. People make mistakes.
It is my pleasure to announce the next president
It just doesn't feel right anymore.
It just makes me sad.
It just seems to me like you might need a friend.
It looked like she was taking it pretty hard.
It must be really difficult foryou
It must be some sort of mistake,
It seemed so natural, the two of us together.
It was a cinch with our new software.
It was a miracle.
It was almost like he'd never existed in the fiirst place.
It was like a miracle.
It was like a miracle.
It was like apples and oranges.
It was like the end of my life.
It was ridiculous,
It was something that just happened.
It was strictly professional between us.
It was Tammy.
It was the first time somebody ever saw the real me,
It was the kind of absurd news item people E mail each other
It was very scientific.
It was very simple, really.
It wasn't a setback. It was an opportunity.
It wasn't like that at all.
It would be a good idea
It, uh, behooves me to inform you
It's a beautiful day
It's a conflict of interest, and Paul was first.
It's a squeaker, Mr. M.
It's about the election.
It's beautiful.
It's hard to remember how the whole thing started,
It's immoral, and it's illegal.
It's just that all the people I've ever been attracted to
It's just... I want you to know
It's like my mom says:
It's like your dog pees on the carpet
It's Mr. M.
It's not fair, it's just not fair.
It's not fair, it's not fair.
It's nothing against you, Tracy.
It's our second home, where we spend all our time
It's serious.
It's so weird.
It's the only true thing I know anymore.
It's what you learn from a story or a fable.
Jeez, you guys, thanks.
JenniferJuniper

Jim McAllister.
Jim, can you get this?
Jim, come on.
Jim, don't. You're scaring him.
Jim, what I'm trying to tell you is that...
Jim, where the hell have you been?
Jim? Jim?!
Just ask Mr. McAllister.
Just because we don't like her speech.
Just got off the phone with him at his home.
Just like that.
Just once.
Just one vote.
Just put it on the table.
Just so they could put it on their transcripts
Just tell me who won.
Just to give them their stinking memories.
Just to see my teacher
Just wait outside, Tammy.
Just went to Westerly's.
Just, you know, school.
Kind of undermines the whole idea
Larry, we're not electing the fucking pope here.
Last time you got suspended
Let go. Live a little.
Let me ask you this.
Let me give you a clue.
Let's say all you ever knew were apples.
Let's say...
