American Entertainment 1982

When Tommy reappeared at Jeff's house for dinner the next day, it felt like the family was back on track.

Although the smiles of Jeff and Jessica were no longer as natural as before and became a little stiff, but at least when Martin talked about the itinerary for going to Coral Street in the South District the day after tomorrow, Jessica was very cooperative, not the same as before. That, nagging, fussing about Marcus giving advice on what to wear, etc.

After Tommy finished dinner, he handed Jeff a stack of speeches: "Read it a few times. Although the Jews are more practical than the veterans, the necessary fluency is still necessary."

"Tommy... can I... can I talk to you?" Jeff took the stack of manuscript paper, glanced at Martin next to him, and then asked Tommy cautiously.

Tommy nodded: "Of course."

When Jeff went to get the beer, Tommy handed over a manuscript and a room card to Gina, the most handsome girl in Jeff's family: "Girl, memorize the script this time and act it well. Stephen is waiting for you to rehearse at the hotel. Don't be too busy drooling. I'm sorry to tell you that he can't meet you tonight. In order to let him focus on rehearsing with you, I arranged four sessions between lunch and dinner. Each Cuban chick fucks him twice, so even if you strip and dance in front of him now, I guarantee he won't be tempted and will just focus on rehearsing."

When Gina heard Tommy's words, she gave him a dissatisfied look: "You said before that I had a chance to hook up with that rich guy..."

"That's right, but focus on your work first. No one can ask for something without paying, can't you, girl?" Tommy patted Gina's head, said with a smile, and then went to the backyard with Jeff .

Jeff handed Tommy a beer, and the two of them walked all the way to the tree house that Jeff helped the children build in the backyard. Leaning on the ladder, Jeff murmured to Tommy, "Tommy, I... Smashed everything, Jessica had a big fight with me this morning and asked me to withdraw, Martin didn't object, but his company's lawyer told me that many veterans were unhappy and wanted my money back, and I knew it was me My mistake, I shouldn't have backed down, but Jessica has a point, I... I'm not MP material at all, I just fix plumbing, if not... I mean without you, without Martin , even if I become a member of Congress, I don't know what I will say in Congress. After all, since the election, all my manuscripts are written by you and Martin, and the clothes I wear are selected by Marcus. I didn't do it myself anything."

This big white man, with confusion and tiredness on his face at this time, looked at Tommy sincerely. In his opinion, Tommy is a smart man, a mysterious big man. Martin, Marcus, everyone listens to Tommy. Martin also said that Tommy is his biggest benefactor, and if he really withdraws from the election, he owes Tommy 200,000.

He didn't want Tommy to support him to withdraw from the election, and then forgive the 200,000 debt. He just thought that a smart person like Tommy could give him some correct advice when he was in a state of distress.

"Jeff, what do you think a corpse can do as a candidate for Congress? Will it be better than you?" Tommy touched the other party's bottle with a beer, and said with a gentle smile: " I mean dead bodies in the true sense of the word."

"How is that possible?" Jeff shook his head, apparently thinking Tommy was joking.

No matter how ignorant I am of politics, I'm still better than a corpse.

"Paducah, Kentucky, the reelection of the House of Representatives a year ago, the candidates there, like you in Miami's 18th constituency, were excited and quickly engaged in the campaign. In two months, one was finally elected. Representative, guess what happened? The elected representative has been dead for half a month, died of a sudden heart attack, that is to say, everyone has been crazy for so long, and it is even more exaggerated to elect a dead body as a representative Unfortunately, the family did not officially announce the death of the deceased until the ballot registration was over and the deceased was declared elected." Tommy groped the wooden ladder that Jeff made for the children, and said in his mouth:

"Strange?"

Jeff nodded: "Why? I mean...it's really weird, but people died, why...why didn't you tell everyone? Let everyone vote for someone else?"

"Because he was elected and made public, his death in the U.S. Constitution created a vacant House Democratic seat, and the Paducah Democratic Committee he was on could directly appoint another Democrat to fill his position, Make sure that it will not fall into the hands of opponents. What's more interesting is that the person who replaced the deceased was a strong opponent in his party before, so he took that position in place of the deceased. All the promises made by the deceased to the voters who supported him Void, so, that corpse was given all the credit he could be given by the Paducah Democratic Committee last year, why? Because in the eyes of the Democrats, this corpse did an excellent job as a candidate." Tommy climbed a few He climbed the ladder, then sat his butt on the ladder, and from his angle, he could just see Gina's bedroom window:

"That's why I asked you, which one do you think is better than that corpse?"

"I don't know..." Jeff thought for a while, then looked up at Tommy's butt and asked, "So, I should be like a corpse too?"

Tommy didn't open his mouth. He saw Gina returning to the bedroom with the manuscript. The girl had a bold and unrestrained style. Not only did she change her clothes, she didn't draw the curtains and close the windows. She even saw Tommy sitting on the tree ladder and deliberately faced him. Xiang Xiang changed clothes, but it was a pity that he was obviously angry that Tommy let other women squeeze Stephen dry, so he deliberately put on half of the clothes and put on the clothes, then gave Tommy a middle finger, and directly closed the curtains.

"What did you just say, Jeff?" Tommy recovered from the white visual effects, and asked, looking down at Jeff below.

"I mean, do I have to look like a corpse too?" Jeff obviously didn't notice what Tommy was distracted just now, and he repeated his words obediently.

"If even a dead body can get elected, why can't you who love the country and love life? This morning freaked out you and Jessica, and for that, I will criticize Martin, but politics is like this, politicians have to be right The donors who paid the money are responsible, such as those veterans who took money to support you, such as me, and you want to leave now, what about our losses? So politicians quit the election, either pay back those donations at their own expense, or your Democratic Party is willing If it is impossible to return the donation for you, then the last option left is not only to withdraw from the election, but also to withdraw from this world." Tommy lowered his head, looked directly at Jeff, and said.

Jeff was startled by Tommy's tone, he shivered and looked back at Tommy in bewilderment.

Tommy grinned, and patted Jeff's broad shoulders condescendingly: "I'm just kidding, you are not politician material, Jeff, I knew from the day I knew you that you went to Washington, just to tell everyone The earth is flat, the world was made by God, and now you add the terrible medical situation to respond to the veterans, and after doing all this, you will go back to your previous life, and I think so, so, trust me , you will get your wish, and life will return to the same as before, I never lie to a really good person, and you are a really good person."

"Thank you, Tommy, of course I believe you." Jeff breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled: "Jessica said you must have a way, let me talk to you, and she said, as long as you don't accept Go to our house, don't send the kids to foster care, and she promises she won't throw a tantrum at me for running again."

"That can't happen." Tommy said with certainty, "As long as you do the right thing."

...

Coral Street in the South District has been a gathering place for Jews since 1915. By 1930, as the number of Jews settled increased, it even expanded to the nearby Outjo Street. However, no legendary capitalists were born among the Jewish groups who settled here. , the vast majority are ordinary small businessmen from generation to generation.

Jeff, Jessica and the four children are standing in the middle of the street on Coral Street in very formal attire. With a large loudspeaker in his hand, Jeff is reading his speech to the pedestrians around him. Jessica and the children were holding Jeff's campaign advertising leaflets, and were going to distribute them to the people who stopped to learn.

It's just that it's nine o'clock in the morning, and neither the passing tourists nor the Jewish shopkeepers on this street are interested in knowing what Jeff is talking about. There are only two police officers sent to maintain the order of the assembly Not far away, they were yawning and discussing what to eat for lunch to fill their stomachs.

Martin sat in the business car he rented in the distance, poked his head out of the car window, observed the movement of Jeff's family through the binoculars, and said to Tommy who was calm and composed beside him: "Boss, are you sure?" No need to call dozens of veterans over to help Jeff hold up the scene? That scene is shabby... like most niggas' deposits."

Seeing that Tommy ignored him, Martin continued to observe Jeff with a telescope, and continued to babble: "And you asked me to invite BT's local contract to join the TV station to report, but you let Page Go to the person responsible for contacting the TV station. The TV station reporter and Page have not seen anyone until now. What can I say, Boss, white people are unreliable, only black people are the most reliable, you should reduce your trust in Page, he is too much Already, I feel for you... What The F*ck!"

Martin saw an old Caucasian couple with a boy appearing in a park in the middle of the street, surrounded by seven or eight TV reporters with long guns and short guns. The most exaggerated thing was that the old woman was wearing a long black skirt that reached her knees and wore a A traditional Jewish headscarf, while the little boy beside him wore a small and exquisite Jewish hat.

The old woman walked up to Jeff who was reading a speech and cursed loudly: "Liar! Get out of here! You are a liar! You are all liars!"

Jeff looked at the three uninvited guests with a blank face, quickly put down the horn, and said to the other party: "I'm sorry, ma'am, did you recognize the wrong person?"

Unexpectedly, the old woman picked up Jeff's horn, turned around and turned on the switch, shouting to the surroundings: "Don't vote for the Democrats! Don't vote for anyone in the Democrats! They are murdering Jews! Everyone! Watch out! Someone is Murder the Jews!"

Not only Jeff's family was frightened by the old woman's words on the spot, but the two policemen who were fishing were also startled by the old woman's words. The tourists, the Jewish owners of the nearby shops, were also attracted by this sentence. When they saw clearly that it was an old man of the same clan wearing a Jewish turban shouting these words, they hurried over and quickly walked over to them. There is a circle around it.

Several local shopkeepers wearing kosher hats looked at the fierce-faced Jeff with unkind expressions, and asked the old woman cautiously: "Madam, what happened? Did he hurt you?"

The reporters and cameras of the TV station recorded all this scene.

"It's unlikely that you would spend money to advertise that Jeff killed the Jews, Boss?" Martin dropped the binoculars in his hand, looked at Tommy with a look of anger and surprise, and said loudly, "I can think of The only answer is that Page is actually a supporter of the Republican Party, he betrayed you, what are you waiting for, I can buy you an electric shock device right now, even if it is at my own expense, I am willing."

Tommy opened the door, got out of the car, and walked slowly towards the scene: "Jeff did not kill Jews, and the Democratic Party did not kill Jews, but someone in the Democratic Party killed Jews, so it can also be said that Jeff and the Democratic Party are accomplices , unless they prove their innocence."
