Reagan refuses needy rewards
Another poignant segment of that monumental Holly
wood epic, Mr. Reagan Goes to Washington , has been
filmed. This one opens with Ronnie (played by Ronald
Reagan) having a candlelight supper with The Beautiful
Girl Who Loves Him (played by Nancy Davis).
Ronnie: Darn, I chipped my berry bowl. Does that
mean youll have to throw out my whole 19-piece, $1,000
place setting?
Nancy: Dont worry, dear. There's 219 more settings
where that came from. But I do wish you'd do something
about the noisy crowd of protesters outside.
Ronnie: 1 guess they're sore because I'm only increas
ing military spending by $30 billion.
Nancy: No, they're angry you're cutting welfare pro
grams another 12 percent.
Ronnie: Golly, don't they understand that's the only
way to lick pverty? Show em in, Nancy.
A seedv-looking mob led by Walter Brennan storms in.
Walter stops before Ronnie, twisting his cap in his hands.
Walter: Heck, Ronnie, we know you're a nice guy. But
I got 16 kids to feed and you're only giving me $144.74
a month. We used to get $164.12.
Ronnie: Don't you see, Walter? For years presidents
have been rewarding poverty by giving poor folks money.
I aim to stop all that. But I'm doing it gradually so you
won't have to kick the habit of being poor cold turkey.
Walter: I knew you was thinking of us, Ronnie. But
how'm I gonna feed my kids?
Ronnie (slapping him on the back):-Do what 1 did,
Walter. Find yourself a good job.
Walter (snapping his fingers): Drat! Why didn't 1 think
of that myself?
Pa Kettle: But what about me and Ma Kettle, Ronnie?
We scraped all our lives so we could make ends meet in
our old age and you keep talking about cutting back our
Social Security benefits. Where have we gone wrong?
Ronnie: You're growing old, Pa. This Social Security
just encourages folks to grow old. We can't have that. Be
lieve you me, old age is no fun. You don't see Nancy and
me growing old, do you? And you, shouldn't either.
Pa Kettle: Danged if you're not right, Ronnie! Well
sure try.
Oliver Twist: Please, sir, could I have another . . .
Ronnie: Free lunch? There's no such thing as a free
lunch, kid And the sooner you learn it the better.
Oliver: Gee whiz, that's true. Please, sir, may I not
have another bowl of tofu with catsup on it?
Marie Dressier: But what about my Medicare . . .
Ronnie: I dont want to pay you to be sick, Marie. I
want you to be well. 1 don't want to reward anybody for
being poor or old or irresponsible or sick, because I want
everybody to be as rich and young and healthy as Nancy
and me.
The mob breaks into a chorus of "For He's a Jolly
Good Fellow" and then marches around the White House
singing, "I've Got a Pocketful of Dreams." Nancy and
Ronnie embrace on the South Portico.
Nancy: Oh, you're wonderful, Ronnie. And just think,
if they all watch their diets, theyH be perfect size sixes
like me. And then they can fit into their Adolfos.
