American Pie - 4 , Episode Four

Sharply contrasting lives in the South-West feature in this episode of director Geoff Steven's USA road trip. Cosmetics millionaire Mary Kay Ash talks about her empire from her pink, Liberace-inspired Dallas mansion; while business efficiency guru Michael George seeks to make American industry more competitive. Meanwhile, in the New Mexico desert, Pueblo Indians attempt to reconcile ancient traditions with the nuclear arms industry that employs them; and, in El Paso, a second generation Mexican-American border guard intercepts illegal immigrants.

A republic, while you may not have a genius at the leadership all the time, you can get rid of him and you don’t have an idiot like Louis XIV, or someone like that, who just destroys the country.

– Business efficiency guru Michael L George on American government
