Patti, age 2, is a brat. Spills cereal on Nancy’s copy of “Dr. Spock’s Child Care.” Nancy screams.

Scene: — Scottsdale: Reagan sips highballs with Barry Goldwater. Goldwater puts down Hoffa and the unions. Reagan says the guv’mint is worse. Republicans killed the movie studios and stopped all the Reagan-monkey movies and the liberal Democrats are leading the country to socialism. “Isn’t that right Patti?” says Ron. Patti, age 2, agrees. Socialism bad, monkey movies good.

Nancy’s mom, Edie, tells her that once Ronnie starts working for GE they can hire a nanny (presumably for that brat Patti). Apparently in ‘53, 6% of a paycheck goes a long way. Nancy wants to be a good mom. Edie scoffs. Kids come and go, she tells her daughter. (Edie, I should remind you, is a pro-choice anti-Semitic, homophobic Republican.)

Ronnie tells a dumb “pony and manure” joke.

Patti, age 5, is a brat. Nancy slaps the little heathen.

Ben Welden, a Republican, tries to convert Ronnie. Reagan thinks about it. (“Um, aren’t Republicans are anti-monkey?”)

Ronnie tells a dumb “baby and poopy” joke.

Nancy sits, drinking and smoking, with her friends. One mentions an astrologer. You think she could tell me whether I’m having a boy or a girl, asks Nancy. “You’re pregnant again?” her friend asks. Yep, says Nancy, downing her martini.

Ronnie says he doesn’t want to be a Republican. He wants to act. “Every producer in Hollywood is Democrat,” says Nancy forgetting that some are commies, “I guess if you want to be an actor you have to stay a Democrat.”

Nancy wants to send Patti the Brat to boarding school. “It’s up to you Nancy-Pants,” says Ronnie, “you’re running the show.”
