Caelius has formed strong ties
to the Italian government through the mafia. He has also had many talks with the
Russian president as well as many other European countries. He has gotten much
name recognition in the European political arena. Now he is hoping to use
that influence to persuad the President of the United States to remove himself
from office and put the power of the people on Caelius' shoulders.
Hail to the Chief begins to
play. President George Bush walks out onto a large podium. He looks
around with his usual smile and waves. He looks down at the notes in front
of him.
Bush: I am very pleased to be
here tonight. I can't even begin to say what a fine town you have
here.
Caelius walks out on the
other half of the podium. He grins at The President. Bush walks over
to shake is hand, but Caelius turns away. He looks out across the
crowd of people
Caelius: Friends, how are
you? Fellow citizens of America, I applaud YOU! (He begins to clap) I do
this for I know that you will see tonight that the government has been unjust
and suppressive for many years AND IT IS TIME TO CHANGE! That IS why we
are here, right? To talk about another form of government... a republic!
George leans over his
lectern as he always does and begins to glare at Caelius.
Bush: I'm glad you could be
here... I would like to know what your stance on National Security is.
Caelius: In a perfect
world, we wouldn't need it. Yet, this has been an imperfect world for some
time now. Of course, we may not need it at all, if I could unite all the
world as a single nation. Everyone seeing eye to eye.
Bush: It sounds to me like you
want to expand the perimeter of this great nation. I don't know if I like
that idea. A world government... and you in charge. That kinda disturbs me
in a way I can't explain; in a deep down kinda way that makes me shake.
But let me tell you a little fact that you might not have known... security just
isn't other countries, bub, it's here at home. What about police.
Here's another little fact that you might interesting. For
every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And this is
unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something
about it.
Caelius: I don't know what
you're talking about and to be frank I don't want to know.
Bush: You're name is
frank? I thought it was Caelius. Anyhow, let me tell you something,
FRANK! I
know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I
believe—I believe what I believe is right!
Caelius: Congratulations.
I don't know what you believe because you speak in riddles! I hope you
believe you're right, because if you didn't... never mind. Now, will you
just please tell answer me one question?
Bush: I refuse to answer any
more questions, neither
in French nor in English nor in Mexican. You done hurt my feelings and
these talks are over. You Italians think you are so smart, I know you
people, there was one in my frat at college. So smug... he always looks
down at me too! He always said I spoke misunderstandingly too!
Caelius: Well, Mr.
President. Maybe I could entice you to look past the Italian government
which I have strong ties with and realize that I am an America... more
importantly an American that is upset with how the government is ran.
Maybe you also need to realize that this country is not immune to military
removal of government! Maybe you need to realize that some day a person
may come along with enough power to removal the government as it stands now and
replace it with a better form... not so corrupt form!
Bush is escorted off of the
platform by secret service agents. Caelius is still screaming.
Claudius comes up to try to calm him, but Caelius just pushes him off the side
into the crowd. The crowd is in awe as he kicks and screams. Soon,
police arrive to remove him from the platform.
The scene fades
