Who put you up to this?
What do you mean?
You just woke up this morning
And suddenly decided to run for president?
No. Um, no, I just thought that, uh--
Thought what?
Well, I was talking to mr. Mcallister about my leg
And how I still want to do something for the school and--
So mr. Mcallister asked you to run.
Well, um, I talked to him and everything,
But he just said that he thought
It would be a good idea
And how there's all different kinds of fruits and, uh...
It's nothing against you, tracy.
I mean, you're the best.
Uh, I just thought, uh...
Ok.
You're on, mr. Popular.
Tracy: You might think it upset me that paul metzler
Had decided to run against me,
But nothing could be further from the truth.
He was no competition for me.
It was like apples and oranges.
[loud stamping]
I had to work a little harder, that's all.
You see, I believe in the voters.
They understand that elections
Aren't just popularity contests
[clunk]
They know this country was built
By people just like me who work very hard
And don't have everything handed to them
On a silver spoon.
Not like some rich kids who everybody likes
Because their fathers own metzler cement
And give them trucks on their 16th birthday
Ahd throw them big parties all the time.
No. They don't ever have to work for anything.
They think they can just, all of a sudden,
One day out of the blue waltz right in
With no qualifications whatsoever
And try to take away
What other people have worked for
Very, very hard their entire lives!
No!
Didn't bother me at all!
