Lean on Me1989

Mayor Don Bottman:
What do you want?

Leonna Barrett:
Clark!

Mayor Don Bottman:
Just like that, huh? Head on a platter.

Leonna Barrett:
You think I got an attitude. Well, let me tell you what I think. I know why you like Clark. He's a guard dog. Does your dirty work. Keeps the black folk in line - that's fine. But you've got to get re-elected. I've got enough folks lined up with me to give you a DAMN hard time, and I will get more. I will organize. I will beat the streets.

Mayor Don Bottman:
Unless I do what?

Leonna Barrett:
Appoint me to the school board so we can vote Clark out. Otherwise, we'll just have to vote you out.

Mayor Don Bottman:
Vote me out? You know, it's always good to see citizens avail themselves of the democratic process.

Leonna Barrett:
My job's gonna be easy. You're not too popular these days, are ya?
