ACT 3-1  “你这个主意很高明啊!”

Ellen: …my slogan is "I care." I care about people, not things. Vote for me, Ellen Stewart. I care. [to the family]How was it?

Richard: You were terrific!

Ellen: Can I see it?

Richard: Sure. [He puts the tape in the VCR. They see and hear parts of the tape again. ]

Ellen: [on television ] Hello. My name is Ellen Stewart, and I'm running for the open seat on the school board. My slogan is "I care." What does the word care mean? … I care about people, not things. Vote for me, Ellen Stewart. I care.

Philip: I like it, but now what? How can we possibly get it on so Riverdale will see it and hear it?

Richard: Leave it to me.

[In the window of a local appliance store. All the television sets are playing Ellen's message.]

Ellen: [on television] … I mean that when I say "I care." I care about people, not things. Vote for me, Ellen Stewart. I care. In the Stewarts' living room. It is nighttime. Richard enters from outside.

Marilyn: What happened?

Richard: Mom is now on television in every appliance store in Riverdale, except Hamlin's. He's a Boswell voter.

Philip: That's a brilliant idea, Richard!

Grandpa: You inherited your father's brains.

Philip: We got our brains from you, Dad.


ACT 3-2  “你领先了,那总比落后好。”

Richard: And guess what? I called channel five. Their TV news is going to cover it. "Housewife campaigns in appliance stores." And I'll bet some magazine will pick up the story, too.

Robbie: Mom, you're going to win! I know it!

Philip: Hold it, Robbie! Just cool down. I know we're getting some attention now, but in the end the voters will have to decide.

Grandpa: You're going to win. Trust me!

[Election Night. The family is watching the news on television. ]

Reporter: In the hotly contested race for the one seat on the Riverdale School Board, Mrs. Ellen Stewart has taken an early lead.

Robbie: She's winning! Mom, you're winning!

Peporter: Now returning to other local news …Riverdale High School beat its rival Horace Mann in baseball today …

Ellen: It's too soon to know for certain.

Philip: You're ahead. That's better than being behind.

Reporter: More sports after this.

Ellen: It's not over yet. Let's just all calm down, and wait for the final results.

Grandpa: Ellen, why don't you go out to the backyard and get some fresh air?

Ellen: Thank you, Grandpa. I need some.


ACT 3-3  “你的选票数很接近。”

Ellen: What happened?

Philip: You came very close. Ellen.

Grandpa: You lost by only a hundred and twenty-one votes.

Ellen: [She sits down.] I lost.

Richard: You tried, Mom.

Marilyn: You lost by a very small number of votes.

Robbie: Only one hundred and twenty-one votes! I'm sorry, Mom.

Ellen: There just wasn't enough time.

Philip: [He sits down next to her.] Look, you've made a very strong impression on our community. You'll have another chance next election.

[The phone rings. Philip answers it.]

Philip: Hello. Oh, yes, yes, Mr. Maxwell. [He gives the telephone to Ellen.]

Ellen: Hello, Mr. Maxwell.

Maxwell: How are you? I just called to tell you that you are very impressive. You lost the election, but you won the attention of the residents of Riverdale, of Boswell, and of me.

Ellen: Well, thank you, Mr. Maxwell. I appreciate your kind words. I needed that.

Maxwell: I hear Boswell wants to appoint you to a special arts committee. I'm sending over a reporter in the morning to interview you.

Ellen: You are?

Maxwell: I'm going to do an article on "Ellen Stewart--she cares." Maybe we'll all care now. Good-bye.

Ellen: Thank you----and good-bye.
