[Barack Obama stands behind a podium facing two teleprompters, two glass walls, and a crowd of supporters. He has just won the Presidency.]
Obama: If there is anyone out there tonight who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
[The Marsh house. Randy jumps for joy while his family, including Grandpa Marsh, sits on the sofa behind him. Another couple stands behind the sofa. Gerald and Sheila sit on a second sofa. Randy and Gerald wear Obama shirts.]
Randy: Yeah. Obama. Woo. We did it. We fucking did it.
Gerald: Yeah.
Obama: It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment, change has come to America.
Randy: Yeah. Yeah, Obama. Change. It's, it's change.
Obama: Sasha and Malia, I love you both more than you can imagine, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House. We will name him Sparkles.
Randy: He's so awesome. He's so perfect and awesome.
Obama: Where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
Supporters: Yes, we can.
Randy: Yes I can. Yes I can.
[Outside the Marsh house. Randy opens the door and proclaims]
