Harvey Milk:
Okay. First order of business to come out of this office is the city-wide gay rights ordinance, just like the one that Anita shot down in Dade County. What do you think, Lotus Blossom?
Michael Wong:
I think it's good. It's not great.
Harvey Milk:
Okay, so make it brilliant. We want Anita's attention here, in San Francisco. I wanted to bring her fight to us. We need a unanimous vote - we need headlines.
Jim Rivaldo:
Dan White is not going to vote for this.
Harvey Milk:
Dan White'll be fine, Dan White is just uneducated. We'll teach him.
Dan White:
[suddenly appearing in the doorway]
Hey, Harv! Committee meets at nine-thirty.
[to everyone else]

Dan White:
Hi, you guys.
[to Harvey]

Dan White:
Um, say, did you get the invitation to my son's christening? I invited a few of the other supes too.
Harvey Milk:
Oh, well, I'll be there!
Dan White:
Great! Thanks.
[waves at everyone and leaves]

Dick Pabich:
Did he hear you?
Jim Rivaldo:
What the fuck?
Anne Kronenberg:
Are you going?
Harvey Milk:
I would let him christen me if it means he's gonna vote for the gay rights ordinance.
Jim Rivaldo:
[as Harvey is talking]
I think he can hear you. Jesus.
Harvey Milk:
We need allies.
Dick Pabich:
I don't think he heard you.
Cleve Jones:
Is it just me or is he cute?
