(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(DOG BARKING)
Yeah, well, look, Supervisor Adams,
the power's been off three nights in a row.
I don't care if it was on in the rest of the city,
it wasn't on here.
No, I don't want to talk to your supervisor.
I've talked to three different supervisors already.
No, don't put me on hold, please for God's sake,
no, no, no. Hello? Hello?
Benson, would you know...
(SHUSHING) Oh, hello, who am I talking to now?
Supervisor Kingsley.
Yes, well, perhaps you can help me.
There's no power in the governor's mansion.
That's not funny, turkey.
How'd you like to try to run the state?
I'd... I'd appreciate it. Thank you.
Excuse me.
Am I in your way?
No, that's all right.
Any idea where it might be?
Well, it's not where it should be.
Look who I'm asking,
a man who wears pajamas to work.
Well, I overslept.
Ja, but some of us get up with the sun.
After all, the early bird gets the worm.
Well, if the early bird saw you,
he'd lose his appetite.
I don't know. I can't find it.
Are you looking for it, too?
Yeah, do you have any idea where it might be?
Search me. No, thanks.
The Governor said he left it in his room.
My teapot?
No, the Governor's speech.
The Governor's speech is missing, too?
Good morning. Morning.
Miss Kraus, what's that?
Don't give her any hints.
See if she can get it by herself.
Thank you, Katie.
Aren't you just a little curious
where Katie might have found that?
Oh, I'm sure there's some logical explanation.
I found it on the floor just outside my door.
There, you see?
No, sorry.
It will turn up.
This is it.
The Governor's speech is in the cupboard.
Great filing system. You work it out by yourself?
Well, I'll see you later. I've got to get to school.
I know, but if I don't hustle, I'll miss recess.
I'd sure like to know
what this speech was doing in the cupboard.
Please, can't you just leave well enough alone?
Are you talking to me?
Um, Benson, I have some vacation time coming.
I need to get away for a while.
We've got too much work to do.
Where were you planning to go?
I don't know. Anywhere but here.
Miss Kraus, is there something wrong?
No, nothing.
Are you sure?
Come on, Miss Kraus, what is it?
My lips are sealed.
Promises, promises.
It's nothing, nothing at all.
Benson. Hmm?
Don't you think there's something very strange here?
KRAUS: (SHOUTING) I hear you.
Late again.
Why can't they get a crew out here to fix the power?
They don't have a crew. Just supervisors.
I think it has something to do with those crows
that perch outside on the wires.
Crows? Yeah.
I've watched them for hours.
Must be fun.
Haven't you ever wondered about that?
Never.
I can't find the last page of the speech anywhere.
Well, all I know is, I left it on my night table.
So how on earth did it get into the cupboard?
That's right, I probably did,
but wouldn't I remember that?
Not necessarily.
Well, there were just a few lines on that last page.
Maybe we could just think of what they were.
Well, I think it's just the usual sort of thing.
"And, so my friends,
"in conclusion this memorial park
"is to honor Governor Delaney..."
"And all his wonderful achievements."
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I've heard that speech before.
I think I can remember the rest, Governor.
Governor, here is today's agenda.
Forget the first two appointments,
you've already slept through them.
Benson, this power problem is still with us.
Can't you do something about it?
You're still with us
and I can't do anything about you either.
