"host of "Mayor Chat". And the station told me I have to quote,"

Mr. Mayor
""Chet on the Sidewalk.""
Mr. Mayor
"Angelenos are thought to be kooks"
Mr. Mayor
"who don't follow politics."
Mr. Mayor
"Let's put that to a test"
Mr. Mayor
"with a new game my wife told me to call"
Mr. Mayor
""What's Your Mayor's Name?""
Mr. Mayor
"Sir, for a dollar, what's your mayor's name?"
Mr. Mayor
"I don't really follow politics."
Mr. Mayor
"I have a very rich internal world."
Mr. Mayor
"You seem politically informed."
Mr. Mayor
"For a dollar-- - "Yes" on Prop Four."
Mr. Mayor
""No" on Five-B. "Maybe" on Prop a Million."
Mr. Mayor
"The sun is a hoax! - Oh, dear me."
Mr. Mayor
"Sir, what is your mayor's name?"
Mr. Mayor
"Oh, uh, I know this."
Mr. Mayor
"It's--it's, uh--"
Mr. Mayor
"I don't know why I am panicking."
Mr. Mayor
"The Mayor of Los Angeles,"
Mr. Mayor
"what is his name? - Yeah!"
Mr. Mayor
"Well that's gonna be our whole day."
Mr. Mayor
"[sighs]"
Mr. Mayor
"[bright music]"
Mr. Mayor
"♪"
Mr. Mayor
"What is it? It starts with an "N.""
Mr. Mayor
"Neville. Kentelman? Dan Kentelman?"
Mr. Mayor
"This is an emergency."
Mr. Mayor
"People don't even know who I am."
Mr. Mayor
"So what? This isn't about you."
Mr. Mayor
"It's about the four million human beings"
Mr. Mayor
"and six-hundred-million possums that live in Los Angeles."
Mr. Mayor
"Public image is important, Arpi, and I should know--"
Mr. Mayor
"Everyone, come quick!"
Mr. Mayor
"He's gonna tell a story about the billboard industry!"
Mr. Mayor
"Well I'm not now."
Mr. Mayor
"And it was gonna be a good one, too."
Mr. Mayor
"Look, I can't do my job if nobody knows who I am, right?"
Mr. Mayor
"I mean, I could be on TV making an emergency announcement,"
Mr. Mayor
"and everyone would just think"
Mr. Mayor
"I'm the hot new doctor on "Chicago Med.""
Mr. Mayor
"We need to get my face out there!"
Mr. Mayor
"That sounds like vanity talking."
Mr. Mayor
"No, Arpi, vanity sounds like,"
Mr. Mayor
""Hello and welcome to my castle of mirrors!"
Mr. Mayor
""With this amulet, I shall stay young forever!"
Mr. Mayor
"Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!""
Mr. Mayor
"Well, Mr. Mayor, my first thought"
Mr. Mayor
"would be to use a social nudging program"
Mr. Mayor
"to raise awareness. - Nudging, of course."
Mr. Mayor
"I'll listen while you explain that to Arpi."
Mr. Mayor
"It's social psychology."
Mr. Mayor
"The idea that small suggestions"
Mr. Mayor
"can cause big changes in behavior."
Mr. Mayor
"For example, painting a fly on a urinal."
Mr. Mayor
"Oh, I give those little guys the business."
Mr. Mayor
"That's exactly it, sir."
Mr. Mayor
"You think you're making a choice"
Mr. Mayor
"when really you're being nudged to make less of a mess,"
Mr. Mayor
"which, in turn, reduces cleaning costs."
Mr. Mayor
"It's the illusion of choice."
Mr. Mayor
"Ugh, I can't tell if this is fascist gobbledygook"
Mr. Mayor
"or corporate doublespeak. But, hey, why choose, right?"
Mr. Mayor
"I'm just saying it works."
Mr. Mayor
"Look, I've actually been using nudging around the office."
Mr. Mayor
"Mikaela is the only one who uses the vanilla creamer,"
Mr. Mayor
"so I just slapped a little sticker of Jim Carrey"
Mr. Mayor
"on the shelf behind it and--"
Mr. Mayor
"Smoking!"
Mr. Mayor
"James, let's nudge some people."
Mr. Mayor
"Neil Bremer!"
Mr. Mayor
"Your name is Neil Bremer. Thank goodness!"
Mr. Mayor
"Gosh, that camera, it messed me up, man."
Mr. Mayor
"So, Jayden, what am I looking at here?"
Mr. Mayor
"This is where the bad chairs go!"
Mr. Mayor
"[clanging]"
Mr. Mayor
"Fire!"
Mr. Mayor
"[clanging] Fire!"
Mr. Mayor
"Okay, I can explain. I'm a sleepwalker."
Mr. Mayor
"Ever since I went to a show at the Magic Castle"
Mr. Mayor
"and I heckled a hypnotist--"
Mr. Mayor
"Jayden, that's not the part that we're wondering about."
Mr. Mayor
"You can't sleep here, sir. This is a city office."
Mr. Mayor
"You're just lucky I was there to save your life."
Mr. Mayor
"Of course, I'll go to Neverland with you!"
Mr. Mayor
"Oh, hey, hey, hey!"
Mr. Mayor
"Oh, Peter! Ugh!"
Mr. Mayor
"Oh, that was you?"
Mr. Mayor
"Oh, I think I-- - Kissed me?"
Mr. Mayor
"- Yeah. - Yeah."
Mr. Mayor
"- Yeah. - Thank you, Officer Gutierrez."
Mr. Mayor
"We assure you this will not happen again."
Mr. Mayor
"[softly] Hi."
Mr. Mayor
"Jayden, how many nights have you done this?"
Mr. Mayor
"Um, like four weeks, I think."
Mr. Mayor
"Oh, my God!"
Mr. Mayor
"I thought you lived with your mom."
Mr. Mayor
"I did, okay?"
Mr. Mayor
"But she raised the rent to $1,400 and 20 kisses a month."
Mr. Mayor
"And both prices are too steep, okay? I'm not made of kisses."
Mr. Mayor
"- So rent an apartment. - Or go on a reality show."
Mr. Mayor
"Everything is so expensive!"
Mr. Mayor
"And "Big Brother" said my application was too sad."
Mr. Mayor
"It's an LA tale as old as time."
Mr. Mayor
"Don't sneak up on people like that."
Mr. Mayor
"Not sneaking. Just tiny."
Mr. Mayor
"And Jayden has joined the ranks of our city's working unhoused."
Mr. Mayor
"It's an all too common problem exacerbated by stagnant wages"
Mr. Mayor
"and a housing shortage."
Mr. Mayor
"Perhaps one of my friends will take me in."
Mr. Mayor
"- No, no, no. - Oh, hell no."
Mr. Mayor
"We'll help you find an apartment."
Mr. Mayor
"Okay, what are you looking for?"
Mr. Mayor
"One bedroom, five baths,"
Mr. Mayor
"walking distance to a Peruvian bakery."
Mr. Mayor
"I like a low ceiling"
Mr. Mayor
"'cause I like to jump up and see if I can touch it."
Mr. Mayor
"Must allow large lizards, in case I get one."
Mr. Mayor
"Every room needs a floor drain. I spill. A lot."
