這段是This is us中Randall競選議員的片段,Randall用他的行動和誠懇感動了選民,最後終於贏得勝利。

Randall在一開始競選時就遇過很多困難,他的腳底起水泡,每天承受了各種冷眼冷語和可能會失去所有的壓力,但他以行動應變,成功感動了數萬的選民。

其中一次是Randall想爭取韓國居民的選票,但被Jae-won批評說根本不了解他們,之後他成了Randall的助選經理,而有一個細節是Randall選擇叫Jae-won的本名而不是英文名,顯示對他的尊重。

「Dude, you are so transparent. I bet you've never stepped foot here before, and if you get elected…if…you'll never step foot here again.」

「you're right, man, I've never been in this neighborhood before, but I'm here now. But just on the way in here, I saw empty storefronts. I saw badly patched potholes. I saw a guy carrying his bicycle tire underneath his arms because he knew that was the only way to keep from getting it stolen. But I don't know what this community truly wants…or truly needs. But if you'll talk to me, I'll listen.」

還有一次是Randall喪失自信,又跟Beth吵架因此開始懷疑自己的所有行動時,Randall遇見了當地的牧師,牧師很和善而且很有智慧的和他說了一番話。然後他送給Randall他沒買到的藍莓蛋糕,祝他新年快樂,就像來自陌生人一個美好的祝福,有時候在人最迷惘的時候遇到的貴人往往都是我們最意想不到的。

「Act in a way that'll make you smile when you're old and gray and lying under a pale pink nursing-home blanket, thinking about...the life you lived. You do that, you'll be the man your father wanted. 」

牧師也在選舉關鍵的時候,發表了對Randall這個候選人真實的想法,儘管他跟Sol,也就是Randall的競爭對手是朋友。

「Now, Randall Pearson I've only known for a few months. He's got a lot of passion, but will he serve us? All I know is that he is fundamentally decent, which isn't necessarily in vogue these days I know he drives two hours each way every day to get here. He has knocked on so many of our doors, when we sang"Somebody's knocking at Your Door" last Sunday, a little girl called out, she said,"It's Randall Pearson." It's not 15 years of history here, but he has sure done a lot with the time he's had.」

Randall為什麼能夠贏得選舉,來自他的一片誠意,從每次激勵人心的話語。

Randall:「I was adoped by a white family in Pittsburgh. I know what it's like to have people look at you like you don't belong, to overlook you, to underestimate you. to...」

Sol:「Is this all just to tell us you're the best candidate 'cause you were overlooked as a kid?」

Randall:「I'm not the best candidate because I'm overlooked, Mr.Brown, I'm the best candidate because the 12th district is.」

「I've been reading the minutes from the last four city council public meetings, okay? Last November, Elaine Wallace complained about the water in her son's school. And Sol said he'd look into it. That was over a year ago. James Wallace told him that his snow wasn't getting plowed. He couldn't even make it to work. He came back to complain three more times......The list is endless. The "I'll look into its" are endless. This is a complicated job, and I will have a lot to learn. But I can promise you this. I will never let them take eight of your bus stops just because they leave you with three. I will fight side by side with you for better schools, fair housing and for more jobs. I will fight to make sure that your snow gets plowed in the winter, and if it doesn't. I will do more than just"look into it." I swear to God that I will show up, and I will shovel it with you. Take a chance on me.」  

他說的最後一句話最感人,他說:我絕不會因為他們留了3個公車站,就讓他們把8個公車站撤掉,我會和你們站在一起,爭取更好的學校,更公平的住房和更多的工作,我會像你們保證,讓大家冬天門前的雪都被剷掉,如果沒有的話,我不會只說"我會調查清楚",我保證會出現在大家面前,我會和你們一起鏟,給我個機會!
