...dark room, two bodies under the sheets.

"Oooh, Ronnie, you're so in charge."

"That's right babe, I'm always in charge."

"And you knew just what to do!"

"That's because I'm always aware of everything around me--nothing gets by the Gipper."

"And the way you asked me how if felt!"

"That's because of my vast intellectual curiosity."

Ronnie Jr: "Mom, Dad! Where's my tu-tu?"

Nancy: "Look in your sister's room, honey. The maid might have left it with her landry by mistake."

Gipper: "Oh, son take a look around and see if she has any drugs. Dad's knee is buggin' him."

Nancy: "Oh sweetie, if you need some pain pills why don't you just ask? I've got tons!"

Gipper: "Thanks, Mommy. But Patti turned me on to some Maui the other day that just did the trick."

...he's a liberal just to atone for the fact that he'll never come out of the closet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just a live picture of St. Raygun's activities for two hours?

That'll drive conservatives batshit.

Hawkeye-X

How would you portray how he handled the AIDS epidemic?

What a putz.

I was picturing lots of imagary of AIDS patients intercut with Ronnie at trivial social events, busy campaigning, and at the end of the montage would be someone bringing the crisis to his attention and him throwing the information/folder in the trash. I just don't feel that captures the horror of it though.

His worthless leadreship on this issue is one of the low points of his tenure, although there are qute a few to choose from!

Ronnie: Wow. You know, mommy, that God's real take-charge guy, just like me!

Nancy: I'm not mommy.

Ronnie: Oh...sorry mommy.

he was always my favourite, my little protege. I hope one day he'll follow in my footsteps. One day all this will be his. Mommy, he could be the President, just like me.

"Ron Honey," she spoke in an embarrassed hush, "You know he's a little different. Don't you think people will notice...something..?"

"Well Mommy, we've sent him to the best schools. Made sure he met all the right people, -we did send him to George and Barbara and you know, they're well connected. I think he might just be able to do it."

"Ronny Darling, did you remember to take your pills...? Have you had your nap today...? You do remember that Bonzo is a chimp, don't you?
