Turns out he cheated a little bit. \n Fred: Hm? \n Amanda: Look at this... \n [Franklin D. Roosevelt sits at his desk in the Oval Office. A few papers are strewn across it, along with a bowl of soup.] \n CAPTION: 1933 \n Roosevelt: Hmm. My soup is cold. \n [FDR rips Executive Order 6148 off a notepad labeled EMERGENCIES ONLY.] \n SFX: RIP \n [FDR scribbles on the paper.] \n DESCRIPTION: Warm up soup \n DATE: May 28, 1933 \n SIGNATURE: Franklin Roosevelt \n [Roosevelt slides the paper into a slot labeled "EXECUTIVE ORDERS".] \n SFX: SLIDE \n [Henry A. Wallace stands next to the desk, Roosevelt resumes working on some papers.] \n Wallace: Um...you could learn to use our new intercom system. \n Roosevelt: Meh. I have better things to do.
