Meanwhile, Pauletta and Alvin get on the bad side of some [[animal rights activist]]s protesting outside the White House after they enter eating [[hamburger]]s, only for Pauletta to (pretend to) become a [[vegetarian]] after a confrontation with the activists leads to her falling for one of the group's members, Warren ([[Warren Hutcherson]]).

- |ShortSummary = President Johnson meets with the supreme leader of a country that has been cut off from civilization for 50 years to strike a new trade agreement; dressed up as his favorite celebrity [[Elvis Presley]], June Jr. (Marcus Choi) is shocked to discover that Elvis died (not realizing that he died in 1977). June says he will agree to the trade agreement on the pretense that President Johnson throw a state dinner and invite celebrities (all of whom are deceased, such as [[Marlon Brando]], [[Marilyn Monroe]] and [[Clark Gable]]) to the bash, leading him to hire celebrity lookalikes. The situation gets complicated when June believes that President Johnson's [[press secretary]] Rebecca (Mary Passeri) is [[Lucille Ball]] and proposes marriage.
