Clips from Mr. Mayor - The Illusion of Choice (S02E02)

"Okay, you're not making this any easier, buddy."
Mr. Mayor
"Yeah, that's what my mom said."
Mr. Mayor
"The problem, low public awareness of Mayor Bremer."
Mr. Mayor
"The goal, get his face out there."
Mr. Mayor
"The solution."
Mr. Mayor
"Huh. Would you look at that."
Mr. Mayor
"It's a trash can."
Mr. Mayor
"This is nudging."
Mr. Mayor
"You know, you put a target on a trash can,"
Mr. Mayor
"it makes people use it. Belgium had a lot of success"
Mr. Mayor
"with trash cans with Smurf faces on them."
Mr. Mayor
"Heady company, sir."
Mr. Mayor
"Arpi, care to give it a try?"
Mr. Mayor
"I've got peanut shells in my pocket."
Mr. Mayor
"Yeah, I can see people liking that."
Mr. Mayor
"It's great, James."
Mr. Mayor
"But I couldn't help but notice you have two more"
Mr. Mayor
"of these things with the sheets on them."
Mr. Mayor
"As much as I love that, I probably"
Mr. Mayor
"shouldn't make a decision without seeing the options."
Mr. Mayor
"- Couldn't agree more. - Okay."
Mr. Mayor
"Well, these are all the same."
Mr. Mayor
"Uh, no, actually,"
Mr. Mayor
"the cans themselves are different greens."
Mr. Mayor
"We've got mint green, jade green, and jasper green."
Mr. Mayor
"We wanted to make sure we got your input on that"
Mr. Mayor
"before we roll out the pilot program."
Mr. Mayor
"And this "pilot program,""
Mr. Mayor
"that would mean how many of these things?"
Mr. Mayor
"We'd start with a couple dozen"
Mr. Mayor
"just in and around City Hall."
Mr. Mayor
"That way we can all watch them at work!"
Mr. Mayor
"Smart! Pick a color, sir."
Mr. Mayor
"Not that it matters really how they look, right?"
Mr. Mayor
"This awareness campaign's for the good of the city,"
Mr. Mayor
"not anyone's ego."
Mr. Mayor
"I, uh, I really like the jasper."
Mr. Mayor
"- Oh, this one's jasper, sir. - I love it."
Mr. Mayor
"[blowing nose obnoxiously]"
Mr. Mayor
"- Oh, my God. - Did you see it? - I got an apartment match!"
Mr. Mayor
"Okay, it went on the market two minutes ago,"
Mr. Mayor
"and it's five minutes away. You have a chance"
Mr. Mayor
"if you leave now and you run every light."
Mr. Mayor
"I don't know, it doesn't have the floor drains."
Mr. Mayor
"In this market, you won't find better. Go."
Mr. Mayor
"I'm gonna do a Scooby Doo start"
Mr. Mayor
"so I get there extra fast."
Mr. Mayor
"So after that, you're attending"
Mr. Mayor
"the LA River cleanup, where they'd love for you"
Mr. Mayor
"to drink just a little cup of water."
Mr. Mayor
"What? No. Hey, easy! Easy!"
Mr. Mayor
"Oh, you took that like a champ, sir."
Mr. Mayor
"It's not me. It's just a trash can."
Mr. Mayor
"Oh, hey, are you kidding me, pal?"
Mr. Mayor
"That gets its own bucket?"
Mr. Mayor
"The important thing is that my face is getting out there."
Mr. Mayor
"See? Even future voters"
Mr. Mayor
"like that little--oh, jeez! The smell just hit me."
Mr. Mayor
"Oh, what are they feeding that baby?"
Mr. Mayor
"Get in, quick. Open the door."
Mr. Mayor
"Ugh, someone else got the apartment?"
Mr. Mayor
"No, it's still available."
Mr. Mayor
"- So you didn't like it? - No. It's perfect."
Mr. Mayor
"Multiple skylights, one bedroom, four bathrooms."
Mr. Mayor
"Legend has it the original architect had dementia"
Mr. Mayor
"so he just kept adding toilets. And I hope you don't mind,"
Mr. Mayor
"but I keep a monitor lizard in the courtyard."
Mr. Mayor
"I have never minded anything less!"
Mr. Mayor
"I'll take it. - Oh, wonderful!"
Mr. Mayor
"What's your astrological sign?"
Mr. Mayor
"What? Oh, um, Gemini."
Mr. Mayor
"Ah! Go!"
Mr. Mayor
"You mustn't be here! [shouting]"
Mr. Mayor
"The landlord will only rent to a Scorpio. And I'm a--"
Mr. Mayor
"Obvious Pisces."
Mr. Mayor
"Ugh, better luck next time, Jayden."
Mr. Mayor
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What?"
Mr. Mayor
"Not only is this discrimination,"
Mr. Mayor
"it's dumb discrimination based on a pseudoscience."
Mr. Mayor
"So you agree, it's a science."
Mr. Mayor
"Jayden, this landlord is illegally discriminating"
Mr. Mayor
"against you based on astrological sign."
Mr. Mayor
"No, we are going back there."
Mr. Mayor
"I hope you're happy."
Mr. Mayor
"Americans overvalue happiness."
Mr. Mayor
"I hope I'm useful. What's up?"
Mr. Mayor
"I hate the trash cans, okay?"
Mr. Mayor
"I hate that they have me on them."
Mr. Mayor
"I saw two pigeons making love on my face, Arpi!"
Mr. Mayor
"On my face!"
Mr. Mayor
"If you don't like the trash cans,"
Mr. Mayor
"just cancel the program."
Mr. Mayor
"I can't do that. James says I'm trending."
Mr. Mayor
"Teens have invented a game"
Mr. Mayor
"where they throw hot dogs in my mouth."
Mr. Mayor
"James says it's not sexual but I don't believe him."
Mr. Mayor
"I don't get why you let the pilot program"
Mr. Mayor
"go ahead in the first place. Why even pick a trash can?"
Mr. Mayor
"Because all the choices were trash cans, Arpi!"
Mr. Mayor
"I had to pick--"
Mr. Mayor
"oh, the illusion of choice."
Mr. Mayor
"See, he nudged me. James nudged me!"
Mr. Mayor
"Huh, I guess he did."
Mr. Mayor
"So nudge him back. Trick him into thinking"
Mr. Mayor
"we shouldn't do the trash cans at all."
Mr. Mayor
"Trick James, the Master of Nudge?"
Mr. Mayor
"Oh, please."
Mr. Mayor
"James just slapped a fresh coat of paint"
Mr. Mayor
"on the oldest trick in the book."
Mr. Mayor
"Nudging is the same as "Great idea, sir.""
Mr. Mayor
"It's when I say an idea,"
Mr. Mayor
"wait for my superior to bring it up again later,"
Mr. Mayor
"and then compliment them like it's their idea."
Mr. Mayor
"I also like "Yeah, yeah, yeah.""
Mr. Mayor
"That's what you say to sound like you're agreeing."
Mr. Mayor
"But if it's all you say, the person you're talking to"
Mr. Mayor
"has to start filling the silence,"
Mr. Mayor
"negotiating with his own idea"
Mr. Mayor
"until he talks himself out of it."
Mr. Mayor
"Yeah, I do that every time Orly asks for a rabbit."
Mr. Mayor
