You're a viable candidate.

The ghost of Amos Littlefield
hates you.

But you got the coward vote
in the bag.
179
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,112

Well, the polling
numbers are in,
205

and people really seemed
to respond positively
206
00:09:10,549 --> 00:09:13,469
when Velma said the ghost
wouldn't scare her away.
207
00:09:13,552 --> 00:09:15,805
Then the numbers start
to drop about here,
208
00:09:15,888 --> 00:09:17,765
when the ghost
scared her away.
209
00:09:17,848 --> 00:09:20,559
So, now we need a way
to show people I'm not
dropping out of the race.

Some big event where I finally
challenge Mayor Putnam
on the real issues.

Pancakes?
213
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:29,777
Like, yeah. The best way
to get a bunch of
people on your side
214
00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:31,487
is free pancakes.

We try.

If there's a problem
pancakes can't fix,
I haven't found it.

Clearly, the fact
that you actually believe

is a direct result of

the point.

attack candidates that

we don't live in Littlefield,
372

and the only reason anybody
entered this stupid election
373
00:16:56,974 --> 00:16:59,101
was to solve the mystery,
374
00:16:59,184 --> 00:17:01,061
which we've
completely failed to do.
375
00:17:01,145 --> 00:17:03,731
And I guess I got so
caught up in trying to do
some good here

that I completely lost sight
of what good I was
supposed to be doing.

to this mystery!

do you regret saying
Littlefield is a dump
397

cultural ignorance?

What I meant to say,
401
00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:13,217
and what I believe the good
people of Littlefield
really need to hear,
402
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:14,343
is the real truth.

-(PUTNAM SNARLING)
-That's what she wanted
you to think.
423

Violet acted like her
position as the only
professional creative person
424
00:19:34,882 --> 00:19:36,258
in Littlefield was a burden.
425
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:38,802
But the truth is, she relished
her unique situation.
426
00:19:38,886 --> 00:19:41,096
She was the only game in town
who was making a killing
427
00:19:41,179 --> 00:19:44,099
selling her bad art and
having no competition
for art grants.
428
00:19:44,182 --> 00:19:46,518
Violet knew Joe McGrath
as well as other candidates
429
00:19:46,602 --> 00:19:48,770
running against Mayor Putnam
would support measures
430
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:50,397
to fund the arts
in Littlefield,
431
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,150
which would mean more artists
and more competition.
432
00:19:53,233 --> 00:19:55,193
As an artist, Violet had
the experience needed
433
00:19:55,277 --> 00:19:57,779
to create a realistic ghost
costume of Amos Littlefield
434
00:19:57,863 --> 00:20:00,115
to scare off
Putnam's challengers.
435
00:20:00,198 --> 00:20:02,826
At first, when Violet thought
I could possibly be a threat
to Putnam's re-election,
436
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:04,703
she tried to scare me as well.
437
00:20:04,786 --> 00:20:07,122
Then when I lost the
crowd's support
at the pancake social,
438
00:20:07,205 --> 00:20:09,124
she didn't need to risk
coming out as the ghost again
439
00:20:09,207 --> 00:20:10,959
because she knew
I couldn't win.
440
00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:13,295
When we found a
new bill that would fund
the arts at Littlefield
441
00:20:13,378 --> 00:20:15,213
in Mayor Putnam's office,
442
00:20:15,297 --> 00:20:17,382
we realized Violet wanted
to keep him in office
for one reason,
443
00:20:17,466 --> 00:20:19,801
because he wanted to Veto
the arts funding bill.
444
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:21,595
As much as I disagree
with his politics,
445
00:20:21,678 --> 00:20:24,973
Mayor Putnam had no idea
what Violet was up to.
446
00:20:25,057 --> 00:20:26,808
But this was never
about politics,
447
00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:28,936
it was about greed.
448
00:20:29,019 --> 00:20:31,980
If Putnam won, Violet could
keep creating and selling
her art with no competition,
449
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:33,690
essentially cornering
the market.
