I continue to be intrigued by the concept for a buddy cop movie featuring John McCain and Barack Obama as mismatched detective partners and Hillary Clinton as the hard edged “by the book” precinct captain. I already asked you to think of titles for such a movie, but I’d like to further ask you for scenes or potential lines of dialogue that could be part of the movie. If this goes well, we might have a script ready before the Pennsylvania primary.
1) At a club owned by the bad guy (Putin? Or for a twist, Stephen Harper?), we enjoy a lighter moment as Obama teaches McCain how to dance in order to blend in.
2) Crawling out of the debris after McCain crashes a small airplane as part of an elaborate chase scene, Obama asks, “Tell me again why they let you fly airplanes.”
3) Clinton to McCain, “This is your last chance, McCain. You break regs this time and you’ll be back in the House shuffling cable access legislation.”
4) McCain and Obama attempt to disarm a ticking bomb. Obama offers suggestions about red wires and blue wires before being interrupted by McCain: “You keep talking, legs, I’ve got business.” (clips both wires, tosses bomb off warehouse roof).
I’m sure there could be more. Any suggestions?
It’s a secret post! My newsreader sees all!
Damn, that’s scary. There was literally two minutes where that blank post was up and you were all over that. You are like an e-ninja.
McCain: You want to get married, don’t you?
Obama: Why, uh, yes. I do.
McCain: Why didn’t you tell me?
Obama: Uh, Because I, uh, didn’t want to put any, uh, pressure on you, McCain. I mean, if you want to, uh, someday, uh, that’d be great. If you don’t, uh, I’ll love you. I’ll take you any way I can get you, McCain.
McCain: One of the most painful fuckin’ experiences of my life!
McCain (talking about Hillary): I’ll draw her fire and you run for cover.
Obama: No, no, no, no! *I’ll* draw her fire, and *you* run for cover.
McCain: What are you, out of your mind? You got a wife, kids. I got a lot less to lose than you.
Obama: McCain, I wasn’t supposed to tell you this, but Cindy’s pregnant and you’re gonna be a father.
McCain: No. Get going. Get…What did you say?
Obama: You’re gonna be a father.
McCain: I’m not too old for this shit.
Obama: You ok, McCain?
McCain: No. I’m NOT ok. I just had my ass kicked again.
Obama: Here’s what we’re gonna do! Take your clothes off!
McCain: What the hell for?
Obama: What for?
McCain: Yeah!
Obama: Okay, you run, Flame-O Larry Craig here turns and sees you in your undies, it distracts him – I know it would distract me – and that’s when I shoot!
McCain: Shoot what?
Obama: Not what you’re thinking, old timer. Not all us young uns are into that stuff. Besides, I’m a Democrat – I like women.
Obama: Is he black?
McCain: To much armor on. I can’t tell.
Obama: No, not him! The father of the baby!
McCain: ……..Okay………
Obama: Oh, please let him be black!
