Churchills, maybe Mandela.
Some de Gaulles.
I have to go together, uh... Anwar Sadat.
Anwar Sadat?
- Former president of Egypt - Right
No no. Two years in the paper, I've never heard of it.
I have to say Sadat. Talk about standing up to political and popular pressure.
I want to think that I have that type of ball.
There is a man who does not die in vain He dies for peace.
Any ideas that you will turn off, Governor?
Obviously I'm going to die for this country
- I serve, you know, not in Vietnam but Desert Storm. - Right Bronze Star.
Not a lot of nonsense To enter there, but I'm in it.
What I mean is, Would you take a bullet...
to advance abortion rights, fixed taxes, things that you have passed over the years?
I want to think that I will die for civil rights.
- [Tires Screeching] - Jesus!
Jesus Christ! What is... Governor! Governor!
Governor Hathaway!
Christ! What is... Governor! Governor! Jesus!

Someone is clearly in the car. The governor is in the water.
Yes, Governor Hathaway is in water
You have to send someone out...
No, no, I want to see the car out of the water
- Back to top. - U-turn!
[Indistinct Chatter]
- Are you okay? - I don't know about this, Fiona.
Governor, excuse me.
The point is. You put your ass on the line out there This person is from the Post...
Paul Smith is his name.
He describes what you do as if You must get a Medal of Honor.
That's not reality, right? He died. In the end, that's the reality.
There is one reality here, Governor.
People have given you Approval numbers like Reagan
- Last week was in the 50s, today you are at 82 - Look like this.
The girl died. That is a tragedy.
But you do everything You might be able to do it to save him.
They also cannot save the Alamo, But every person who dies is a hero.
- We are currently commercial. You're almost there, okay - Fine.
Show your regret, but don't break it.
You are a national leader now. Thinking like that.
- Is Bert on our side? - Of course
- Three two one. - This is it.
[Fiona] After this, everything will be on our side.
He has long been considered at the top of President Evans's list...
to fill the void left by death from the vice president three weeks ago.
But after that heroic has been made national legend item...
Governor Hathaway has become the nation's choice...
to take the post heir - clear for the presidency.
- Governor, thank you for joining us. - Thank you, Bert.
It's an unpleasant business, What happened on the river Disgusting.
Too bad you are so shit bastard in that place.
Six and a half years in the White House, the press still hasn't gotten the wind from these bastards
Yeah, beautiful, uh...
quite heroic, what you tried
The headlights are on. Likewise the interior lights.
I can see his face.
She's very beautiful. Young.
- She's very scared - Wow.
It feels like that he was buried alive
He looks at me.
And then he did it This looks helpless.
I, I try to pull on the door, but, uh...
I need air, you know?
I can't...
No. When I went back down to the car, he was dead His face froze in that view. He brings the look of fear...
directly into his death
You do more than most men.
I hope.
Listen, Jack, that won't happen. I can't nominate you
I can't lift you
We can't have it Chappaquiddick others.
- I tried to save him. Kennedy ran away, remember? - You failed.
Nobody said That's your fault, but you failed [Evans] This is bad beef, Jack.
You are one of the leaders of this party, rising stars...
but you have
They won't give mouse donkeys about that
They will not care about the year of your service or what you have done for education.
This will be it. A girl dies and...
- This administration needs a subtle confirmation - you let that happen
We have rocky time over crime bills
There is no longer an obstacle put in front of us
I appreciate you telling me personally, Mr. President.
I will, uh...
I will support Whoever you choose, of course.
I know that.
You are the future of the Democratic Party...
and you will always be.
Well, there's a shipload press it out there
I don't think You have to avoid it.
Take it easy, Jack.
I don't understand this, Kermit.
Six years ago I was the best person Job, and I was still the right person.
- I have a good relationship with Runyon... - Listen to me.
- nothing can we do this? - Believe me, I tried it.
He made a decision. Filling out this slot may be the swan song.
Want to be careful with that. Don't push it.
Why doesn't it continue? in his good grace?
You're a good person, Jack. Want to see the governor come out?
- Jerry, do you want to come in? - Yes, Sir.
Mr. President, Jerry is here
That's rude as it happened. Never seen anyone look so defeated.
- Yeah, poor brat. - Mr. President?
Seeing the governor out there. Like He has taken it out of him.
If I drink caffeine again, I will vote for a fixed tax.
I drank this tea from the Greek ambassador.
Come on, sit down. Never thought of Greece as a tea producing country...
But, Jesus Christ, If this is not tea to end all tea.
Well, it looks like Jack Hathaway's weeks are bad
So it's Hathaway, is he out? Is it solid?
It leaves us with Malloy or Hanson.
This must be Hanson's. Malloy is out
- Now, Mr. President, I think you know... - This is Hanson.
You know how I feel. Hanson may have swung our way, but a turncoat is a turncoat.
We have had a vacancy for three weeks. That the nation moves from mourning to anxiety.
I need a vice president. And I need a person who will reflect my politics - Fill in with Frank Malloy. - No, no. Malloy has an inflammation of ambition.
He won't do the work. He will prepare to do my job. He is not even my second choice.
If you don't work with Hanson, we will return to Hathaway
- Do you think Hanson is a team player? - Senator Hanson will work.
And it's your job to make sure you confirm it successfully.
- I need to know that I can count on you. - Of course you can.
The President and I discussed a number of issues issues, including the vice president.
- [Man] does the president offer your position - I asked him to revoke my name
- [Phone rings] - [Woman whining] Don't answer it.
- [ringing continues] - [Man] I have to get it This is the red line.
[Woman] No no no no.
- Hanson here - [giggling]
Yes, of course I will stand it.
Shhh. Shut up.
Hello, sir! I am great, sir, thank you. Yes.
- In fact, We are watching it in C-SPAN now. - There is no name discussed.
Yes he is. One second, sir.
This is the president. He wants to talk to you.
Do you want to talk to him?
Hello, sir. This is Senator Hanson speaking.
Oh, Christ.
That is the puncture to you? "We can't have Chappaquiddick anymore."
No, not Evans. Word Newman Things about Chappaquiddick.
What's the matter does that mean?
That doesn't even make There's any sense, Jack.
You don't get drunk who drives your car...
from the bridge and leaving the prostitute you're fucking to die That's what I told them. Not in those words.
This is the second time they messed us up.
- Did he say who he is? - Not.
- This will be Malloy. Fucking Frank Malloy. - That's what I heard
Jack, he is not worthy...
- This didn't happen to me. - You can go.
You will take it butt. Want to bend and make their work a little easier
Do you understand what happened here?
This is it.
The whole damn plan, Jack, everything, is to this point.
We have this one shot, and it's gone!
And you will go around like a 12-year-old girl who can't date the dance?
"Frank Malloy, That's what I heard."
- What do you want me to do? - I want you to be annoying.
I want you to call Shelly Runyon back and get this damn thing anyway!
- Why not? - you've already discussed it It's done, ancient history.
I don't feel reconciled about that yet
[Indistinct Chattering]
- I will think about this. - No, I think it's okay.
Okay, I'm not sure.
Thank you.
Are you sure you want to have alcohol on your breath the first time you meet the president?
- No, you're right - No offense. Just curious.
I'm married for vice president, huh?
Whoa, whoa. I have not been confirmed. I have never even been asked.
Do you know what we should do pronto? We have to start working Runyon.
- Runyon will be a problem - Why will the Runyon be a problem?
- But the Senate is taking care of...
Everything but vice president. The twenty-fifth amendment does not specify...
who runs the show on that confirmation
Rumors say that the DPR has given advice and approval for this one.
- Runyon lobbied hard enough to get the show committee. - Yeah, I think so.
I know number two, Ted Baker. We go to college together. I'll call him
- I will start hitting it - No no No. Don't say anything to him.
- Why? - Let's get it on our own for now.
Do you know what? I will not argue with you You are not only right, but you will meet the president, and you look great
- Doesn't he look great? - Yeah, he looks great.
What do you think, Stevenson?
I'll go for number six, right a little from the center, sir.
That's what I think.
[Evans] What is your average?
- The last forty-five came out, sir. - That's not too bad.
No!
- Senator Hanson and her husband are here - Bring them in.
Yes sir.
- I need time with senator - Yes sir.
- Senator! - Mr. President.
- you remember my husband - will be Hanson McMahon campaign.
You gave me a nightmare vision must return to my legal practice.
- No, Lewis is my first name. - Lewis Welcome, Lewis.
So, have you? Have been here before
- [Together] No. - Johnson, he, uh...
built in '65.
Now there are several terrorist camps in Libya are being saved by bomb attacks...
because I'm obsessed with by beating my 150 average.
- you bowl? - occasionally
What is your average?
- Seventy. - I don't have it
Hungry? You want to eat lunch before we speak
No thanks, sir.
[Evans] I saw this film once where is the president...
just tickling whatever he wants to eat he can get in a short time.
Here. Apparently, this is seeping this century.
- Otto? - Yes, Mr. President?
Sorry for the late notification For lunch, can you arrange coq au vin...
with penne side?
- [Otto] Spicy or light? - spicy
And, uh... Oh...
- Pecan pudding for dessert. - No problem, sir.
One day I will catch him taking a nap.
- What's the point do we win that one? - 61 to 33, sir
It's pretty easy getting more things when you win
I think Sudan is where the press will make the first straw.
I think if we announce, the press might have other things in his mind.
But you know, Sheldon Runyon and Jack Hathaway have been friends for years.
And Runyon will chase me with all weapons blazing.
Senator, why should we worry about Shelly Runyon's weapon when did I control the atomic bomb?
We will introduce you to the Cabinet in one hour. I will make the announcement.
- It's okay, Mr. President. - That's how Jerry Ford did it with Rockefeller
I always think it's very sad classy. Have we told the network?
Oh yeah. All experts are currently guessing eating madness.
The box from Malomars says they have taken care of Malloy.
- You look great, by the way. Very good - Thank you sir.
Okay, guys, one hour, cabinet room
Go to the race!
- Senator, is this what you will use? - He looks fine
- No, he doesn't. - You look beautiful, Senator.
- Thank you. - Very become
I think it works.
Let me explain how this will work Soon, POTUS will enter, makes an announcement...
- introduce you to the vice president. - Jerry.
We heard the president's decision is Malloy Can you confirm this?
In ten seconds you will have your answer . So calm down.
Alright. Then after he made... Dave. [whispers]
I will give you 20 minutes for questions and answers.
So keep it short and, hopefully, sweet.
And you can roll from now on.
I will introduce it in five... thousand...
four thousand, three... one thousand two.
Women and men, presidents of the United States.
WELCOME. A good afternoon. Please.
- Thank you for coming here in a short time. - Laine Hanson, from Ohio.
When I started the assignment chose the vice president...
I am driven by emotions. I want to make choices...
that will make Troy Ellard, my friend, arrogant
Senator Laine Billings Hanson from Ohio is that person.
[Toliver] Sherri, you are the first.
Ms. Hanson, are you feeling A woman plays any role in a presidential decision?
Alright, I, uh... First I want to say...
How honored to be here before you are in this position
And I hope to be able to serve up to the standard that President Evans set for me in that introduction.
Thank you very much, sir. To answer your question...
- First level, Mrs. Hanson. - Thank you. I've learned a lot from Will
Ah, yes, Will.
You, sir, will have to make yourself rare.
- No of course. I will give your privacy - No, I mean rare
During the confirmation period, I want you to be invisible again.
- Sorry? - A wife is behind her husband...
is considered a supporter.
A husband follows behind his wife is considered a puppeteer.
- But I think... - no, honey I think Mr. Newman is right.
Let Hollis handle days...
- and I will be the person behind the curtain. - Where do we go from here?
FBI has to do it check extensive background
- Friend Director will handle the investigation. - Yes, we confirm that.
Almost every aspect of your life will be found.
Your bank account, your medical report
- What did I forget? - Correspondence to government agencies, speeches...
When Nelson Rockefeller was confirmed, They had more than 300 agents working for him.
They have more life and cash to investigate, huh?
We will do our own background check if something has fallen through the gap, it's safe.
- At the same time, The house will... Enter. - [Knocking on the Door]
The house will be put together with its bipartisan subcommittee...
advise and approve your nomination.
Shelly Runyon runs the show there
Cheyenne, Wyoming, you are with Vice President Appointing Laine Hanson.
- [Man] Larry, how are you? - I am doing fine. Thank you for calling.
I just want to say for the senator who...
all the Cheyenne are with him.
We think he's really great _ this country and government.
- congratulations - [King] What is the question, sir?
I want to ask the senator whether he can choose one person from history...
to be a model for him how to behave in the office, who is that?
- [Knock At Door] - [King] Good question, Senator.
Hi friends. Nice to meet you.
- Sorry for breaking into you - No no no no. I only see your girl
- First female prime minister? - They are great leaders.
Will you put Thatcher in that category?
No, I don't think so.
- Do you know what? I will have to say Thomas Jefferson - [King] A man?
- He is something, right? - I don't really know it
We served together several years ago, and, I guess...
we just ended in a different company.
- Please sit down. - Members of Congress, the president asked us to come down here He wants to tell you he will appreciate your support in the senator's confirmation
- really - He asked directly, Shell.
But does the president not consider it is important enough to ask me personally?
You know it's important. This is the old goose song.
Putting a woman in the office means something to her.
Laine Hanson absolute best choice
You don't believe that. Come on. You are too smart Listen, I don't mind she's a woman...
but I do not justify a woman just because she is a woman.
Laine Hanson has an extra burden.
He must come on the world stage with perfect credentials Margaret Thatcher doesn't have a perfect credential The world respects her.
The world accepts Margaret Thatcher because they know she must answer to Ronald Reagan
A woman better be highly qualified no one can answer...
and Laine Hanson isn't it.
Look at my eyes And tell me...
That Laine Hanson is your first choice for vice president.
Laine Hanson is my absolute first choice.
I really want you in my poker game
Country needs A subtle confirmation The President needs a smooth confirmation - state needs a competent vice president. - [Cell Phone Ringing]
Excuse me for a moment.
There is only one person in this world who has that telephone number
So who is the second choice?
We haven't really settled on anyone yet.
Tell me, if Laine Hanson was hit by a flying car...
who is the president? then choose?
[Sighs]
I think the president still likes Jack Hathaway, a member of Congress.
You know...
Jack Hathaway, there are good people... for a Democrat.
[laughs] There is a man I will say I will have...
a smooth confirmation
- Jack Hathaway? - Smooth like a baby's ass.
- He already took it himself out of it, so... - Right
Right! Well, who knows?
Maybe Lainey will shock the world...
by pulling out the brilliance...
and knowledge at the hearing no one knows he has
So, Shelly, can we ask for basic justice?
- Fifty fifty, Democrats and Republicans at trial? - Of course you can.
Congressman! Congressmen! Mr. Runyon.
Just want to steal you for a moment. I am Reg Webster.
- Oh, are you one of Stoney's sons? - Uh, no
Are you staff or intern?
Actually I'm a representative. Reginald Webster from Delaware.
Oh, kill me I'm sorry, Webster. What can I do for you?
- I'm late - I hope I can take it Your attention is brief.
- what is thin? - Okay, uh...
- I'm late, Mr. Webster. - I understand that chair is opened on the committee...
and I want to enter my name in the future
I believe you will find me diligent and hardworking.
for senior members
Wheeling is included in five conditions before we let him enter My hands are tied. There is nothing I can do.
Shelly, I've tried to contact you for five days.
- I left you 32 messages. - Alright, leave me on the 33rd
- Where did you come from? - Delaware
Oh, yes, you... You knocked Emory Bettis out.
Emory was once in Thursday night's match
He's always good for a few hundred dollars
I think he's running his campaign like he's playing poker
I take what you have a predisposition
- About confirmation, I mean. - Not. Actually, I'm 100% objective.
- Mmm. Do you have a dictionary, Mr. Webster? - Yeah.
Take Magic Marker, cross out the word "objectivity".
Your constituents want you for your opinion, your philosophy...
for your subjectivity
Laver has to duck out of that one way
One that Laver can't have. He is still trying to recover.
And he has another Laver's strong past forehand.
See that, Tim? Know what we call it?
- We call it topspin. Do you know how we get topspin? - Uh huh.
- huh? Tell me. - Because baby Jesus is made topspin.
What?
- Baby Jesus gave him topspin. - Jesus?
Ah! Why did you say that?
- Because Baby Jesus created everything. - huh? Who said that?
Miss Moyer in kindergarten, and Mommy said...
- I have to listen to Miss Moyer. - Wow, this is news for me.
I let go of my career trying to attack that nonsense out of the public school system.
Maybe I should put it In public schools, then.
Remember what I said about moving your grip down...
- and to the left? - Uh huh.
- Go see if Dad found the bathing suit yet. - Give a hug.
Yes. Thank you, champ - They are paid to teach, not... - Preach.
I know, but he's six years old, and he also believes in tooth fairy...
- and George Washington never lies. - Well, that drives me crazy.
- Mary, want to turn off the ball machine? - Yes, Governor.
Thank you for seeing me, Father.
- Why didn't I see you? - Partisans.
I have to love at least one Democrat.
You know, Daddy, I got some reports that you might not be ready to support me.
That you oppose for my confirmation...
- Have you heard a quote? - No, I haven't heard.
That's all we have to expect to read your opposition Forgive my Swahili, but you are being led pure nonsense line.
- I haven't said a word. - Maybe it's just that Maybe you've calmed down.
- I hate the press - I know, Daddy - When I leave home, I swear I will never talk to them. - I remember.
- I think you will force this my hand, huh? - You don't need to talk much.
- Just a little something. - Alright alright.
I, uh...
I will call back Joe Glynn in the Times.
She's fine. He will write it well.
I leaked it some nonsense about Buchanan. Damn it feels like he won the Pulitzer.
- Thank you, dad. - Sure.
Thank you.
What will you do, or have done, in my case?
Well, when your president asks you to jump...
it's hard not to jump, is certain.
But you remember Ben Franklin It was said about the vice president.
What did he say? I didn't talk to him this week.
He said he should be handled "Your extraordinary lover."
In the last ten years, I enjoy this kind of strength vice president can not offer.
Why does anyone want to give it? Am I crazy? dear, the power where does the power go
- Think you can beat me? - Uh, yeah Good.
Hey, Tony!
Rotten!
Can't believe that damn person By the way, Mr. Webster, It turns out you are a Democrat.
I, uh, don't keep it a secret.
Sad to say, I don't think I can take you to the committee, kid.
Ray Spies made all the decisions about the other party.
- This is manners. - But not a requirement.
- No, that's right - If Ray Spies interviewed me...
he will refuse to put me on the committee even for one minute...
because he will know it when it comes to Laine Hanson...
I go to my dictionary and cross the word "objectivity."
Do you suggest Mrs. Hanson may not be your first choice for vice president?
I suggest that Laine Hanson has attacked our party with policies and attitudes...
the best presented across the hall where he came.
I took it, like most members of your party...
Your choice will be Governor Hathaway
Governor Hathaway is a great person.
He's a visionary, _ bonafide hero
- But he revoked his name from consideration - Thoughts can be changed.
- how much wisdom can I count on you? - one hundred percent, sir
- Even from your own leadership? - I say one hundred percent.
Good. Good people. Good people.
I think if I make a round, do a Sunday morning talk show...
increase the level of the game a little, outtalk him on issues...
Problem? What kind of damn campaign are they running in Virginia
Not my type first. Jack, all of this with the girl drowning...
This is bullshit!
- I was there, Shelly. The president told me myself. - That's the reason.
Jackson Evans has chosen to make put a woman in her goose office.
Laine Hanson is the only reasonable choice at your party He doesn't go with the Boxer. He is too liberal.
He doesn't go with Jones because he's older than him.
- Ada Winslet. - He did not come from the Supreme Court.
Laine Hanson is indeed interesting. He is a viewer.
The fact that he really is _ Republican means he can't be too far to the left.
This is a perfect genealogy.
We cannot invite you to convince you You are the right person for the job.
We have to convince him that he's wrong Once we do that, you enter
And Toliver, he is just like telling me...
I won't make a low hit. This is not my way.
You don't need to do it.
We have to go after him. We have to make him wade through himself.
- You say who you are - I'm Makerowitz
- Makerowitz - I'm sorry. That doesn't mean it means a lot to me
- Web has someone... - Friend of the Hathaway campaign.
Who is not too unimpressive footing Mr. Makerowitz
Citizens want their own investigation...
What exactly are you trying to find out? Campaign irregularities, bribery?
- Isn't that the FBI's responsibility? - That is.
But the FBI doesn't want to find anything All the money is bound in blind faith.
Types of dishonesty you talked about, I thought it only helped him.
Personally, I think the nation will be relieved to know that just because he is a woman...
- Not that he can't be as cruel as all of us. - Governor?
Have you ever stabbed a man in your belly button? You?
me? No, not yet.
Puncture a man at the navel, and that's all he writes.
Bleeding is very fast and severe, It doesn't matter if Jesus gives The healing hand is injured...
the bastard is dead We must be prostitutes in the stomach.
We all have to understand, we will eliminate his life...
but that will make you vice president.
- Hey, dog! - Lewis, how are you?
- Wow, that's a plate of food! - [laughs]
You don't have dress up for me I have to accompany the senator to Gridiron Lunch.
If John Q. Public can see money pocketed that runs this country...
spend on this lunch, there will be a second revolution.
I say, there is some money spent this stupid lunch.
- What is this? - That's the reason you are here
You can't let other people know from where you got this
If Runyon knows I give this to you...
he will fire me, and I don't want him to be an enemy.
That's Lainey Hanson get gang-banged
Looks like something exited Hustler
[Sighs] That's him for sure.
I know it's hard to tell him... his face in someone's crotch...
but that's him, man.
Why did you show this to me?
I will not party for an ambush
Why are you Show me this, Ted?
Good.
I want to get out of the Runyon office. And I thought maybe you could get me on staff...
This is the best you can do come with? This nonsense
This is bullshit Read the deposition from a LaVamere woman
[Female Voice] She is having a sex show.
- How long does this continue? - It's been hours.
- How many hours? - Three or four.
[Humans] Which one? Three or four [Woman] Three, I think.
In his defense, he was drunk
To be honest, once he finished fucking and sucked those two bastards...
He was taken to another room, and boys came in and out of there...
but I don't know if he fucks them
When he comes out, He is covered in cum. That's terrible.
Excuse me, Advisor. I, um...
- may I - Of course.
Just to clarify, why exactly is Mrs. Laine Hanson...
The strike Laine Billings is involved in this, uh...
horrible and disgusting behavior?
- That's... That's important. - Precisely.
Thank you. Nice to meet you.
- [clapping, cheering] - Here it is.
Thank you very much for your support. Thank you.
- Hey - Hey, Madam Senator - How are you? - I am doing fine.
I hope you have heard the speech. The line that you gave me about...
"If we can put a man in the moon, then why can't we put everyone on the moon?" That's perfect. It really breaks the ice.
- Lots of viewers for that, huh? - Yeah, very good.
- [Sighs] - What happened?
Uh...
Well, it looks like Runyon or someone close to him...
it's been running little personal investigation...
looking for items that Feds won't even touch.
- This, um... - huh?
What is that?
What...
[Phone rings]
- He doesn't know anything about that - You asked me to go down?
I ask you to do what is in it the best interests of the party...
and this president.
I'm sorry I can't do it, not all this time.
He won't let me or himself...
to be shot down above what will have been Have had a private sexual meeting.
- Some swan songs for the old man, huh? - This is damn 'terrible
The senator is a little wild When he was 19. What is the problem?
Let me explain big problem for you People of this nation
But one thing they can't stomach is the image of the vice president with a sip of chicken.
You don't have to use... See. Let's use the word "guess".
They have photos! They are witnesses! They got prostitutes "accused"...
Hey! Let me tell you something.
I was her husband first. I do not tolerate such talk.
- Will, calm down - You better get used to it, Will.
Especially if not your wife will defend herself
Give me something, Laine. Any.
Dignity! Right.
We just have to make all this worthless for Mr. Runyon.
What did you get in a respectable man from Illinois?
Some things are pretty good.
- S.E.C. Investigation, 1985. - Do you have shares?
I want something shameful!
Something sexual!
Little boys, midgets, That kind of thing
- cow! I do not care! - Come on, Kermit.
If we do that, we are no better than him.
We are no better than him.
There's nothing there. He married when he was 21 years old.
There is no evidence he once cheated his wife.
Too bad we don't run in France. We really can use it.
When did you have lunch with him
With Shelly Runyon? I don't have lunch with him.
Friday, 1:00 This is scheduled for tomorrow.
This is automatic. He is the chairman of the committee.
It's set. S.O.P.
- Laine. - Shelly
Sorry I started. You are late.
- I'm not late, I hope. - One or two minutes.
- Are you tied to anything? - no, sorry I'm late.
- Hi, Clem. You too. - Senator, nice to meet you
- I ordered you a beer shop. - No, I don't eat meat.
- I'll drink penne - You have to really... Mmm.
- try steak Ask Hugo to burn it outside. - No, thank you.
I really don't eat meat. I'll just continue with the penne.
- spicy? - Yes, please. Thank you.
So, how about... Will and that boy?
Let's run away Small talk today, Shelly.
- That will make me feel cheap. - Let the big talk begin.
Have you ever seen this?
That's me... that's my file to you, Senator.
- Mm-hmm. - How do you get it?
Have you read it?
How do you get it?
Have you read it?
- What should you say for yourself? - With all respect...
um, Senator...
- it doesn't matter what I have to say it myself. - Oh no?
For me, Chairman, everything you can claim about me... Claims, do I have sex...
- deviant sex - Who says it's deviant?
I do
And what I say, people will believe. And do you know why?
Because I will have a very large microphone in front of me.
Wow, you must really hate me, Shelly.
I don't hate you It is impossible to hate you. You...
What is Reynolds? called you a few days ago
Groovy. You are a groovy girl
No, what I, um, do hate is your selfishness
I have served this nation without paying attention to personal income of more than ten years.
You are selfish because you want to take it on work that positions you to assume...
a giant coat responsibility...
and you do it well with knowledge...
From what?
What?
Greatness is an urgent orphanage, Laine.
Greatness only appears when we need it the most...
during the war or disaster.
I can't ask someone to become a Kennedy or Lincoln.
They are men were created in their time.
All I can ask for is the promise of greatness.
And that, Madam Senator...
You don't have one.
Okay then...
I just won't use sex as leverage...
if I were you, sheldon
Because there is one thing you don't want
This is the woman with her finger on the button that is not laid.
Will it be the senator's argument offer before the committee?
[laughs]
sir? Can I get you something to drink?
- Uh, no, I'm fine Thank you. - You are sure?
Not good Thank you very much.
- Ah, Mr. Webster. - Mr. President.
- Nice to see you. - It's an honor, sir.
- I've been wanting to have you for a long time Up here for a while. - really
Excuse me. Willie? Thank you, Willie.
Yes, you betcha. You shifted the bastard Bettis.
He must have chosen not to fight me 70 percent of the time.
You know what this is. It's a shark steak sandwich.
Oyster shark steak
- do you want half? - Uh, no thanks - Are you a vegan? Had lunch? - Not. Uh...
So you chose not to break bread with the president of the United States?
[Laughter] Thank you.
When I'm in the Senate, Bettis can always be counted to go half grand at the poker table.
Always stay in, never fold. Always wants that magic card.
- That's good, isn't it? - Mm-hmm.
Now, Truman, he is a poker player
Very bad, as I understand.
Son, I understand you might mess up our plan...
to put Laine Hanson to the home of the vice president.
Right now, sir, I can't see supporting Laine Hanson.
- How old are you? - me, I am 28
And at that age and experience, You think you are one sit down and judge Mrs. Hanson?
Now, that's the point, isn't it?
Me, sir
Mr. Webster, I asked you to stop...
as personal assistance.
It's one thing to break the line and choose against my candidate...
but to attack it actively From the bench, that's another.
Mr. President, I just don't believe in Laine Hanson...
especially when we have Governor Governor Hathaway.
He is a party loyalist and a true hero
And I cannot and will not choose a candidate only because she is a woman.
I'm nothing if I don't follow my heart, sir
I envy you.
I did Do you know why?
Because one day, many years from now, you will come here with your family...
and you will look up in my painting...
and you can tell them, your children and grandchildren...
"Go back first . I challenge my president.
This is my cost for my re-election, keeps me out of politics forever.
I'm on track for maybe one day ending here...
is destined to make a type of change in this country...
It's just a great guy, given the right time and place, can make...
and I don't have it now, but it's okay...
because I do what's in my heart
Heart, will never be wrong, Could it be, Mr. Webster?
Mmm. Delicious. You have a little...
Hi.
I'm Jack Hathaway. How are you?
Hi sir. Um...
Ow. I am a Special Agent Willomina. Of course it's good for you to meet me.
It is a pleasure. What can I do for you?
I know you're busy, so this will be as routine as it gets.
- Does my girl offer coffee or something to drink? - Oh, yes, he did it She's very nice, girl.
Yes he is. He is very kind.
So like I said, I just want to cross some T, small items.
That is only partially from the process
By the way, sir, I'm really impressed with your elegance...
- overall Senator Hanson. - Oh?
You know, in supporting it. Original in English
Well, as you know, I withdraw my name from consideration
Right. Right.
And I think he is a good choice. Anyone who knows him knows that.
How long have you known him?
- Oh, well, actually, I'm not really... - I'm sorry.
When you say, "Anyone who knows him"...
- I know people who know him. - Uh huh.
- I like to give you their name, if you want - good
I don't really know it, but that's how it saw it several times in the function...
and, uh, I think he will do a good job.
Sir, can I just say...
I really hope You will go for the position...
especially after what happened in Apachaway.
I think people will think, behind their minds...
"Here comes the person who takes the risk when the right thing is at stake."
- Lifesaver? - No, thank you.
After all, some bad luck, You are there.
Not if I can to save it No, no, in the crab area.
It's just that You are fishing for bass, so...
- That might explain the reason We didn't catch anything - [Laughs]
You are fishing on Apachaway a lot, so I think so You will know that, but...
I don't have many fish.
- I think your equipment is quite sophisticated, but... - There is a difference...
between wanting fish and having time for fishing.
Tell me about that.
- And he freed the slaves and won the Civil War. - Right!
Maybe he really is our biggest president - Even bigger than George Washington? - This is an ongoing debate
- Laine Hanson. - Oh, Mr. President
And you must be one Timothy Hanson.
- Timothy Muskie Hanson - [chuckles]
Now, Timothy Muskie Hanson, how do you you like big big cakes Whatever.
- No thanks. - anything at all
Oatmeal, white chocolate...
Actually, we just had dinner, but thanks
In this case, we will have our photo taken, young man? Hmm?
- How do I look? - Your tie is a little crooked.
Well, you can't take photos like that. Will you straighten it out for me?
Your mother says that you know more about the president than most adults.
- I like to learn it. - Mmm! Me, too.
I think we're ready for business, Dennis
- sir. - You must be very proud of your mother Yes, being vice president is better than being president.
Oh, I'm sure you are right.
Because no one wants to shoot vice president
So, you must feel very excited now. Please sit down.
- Hmm? - Well, I think I'm a little nervous.
Very good! Well. Night before hearing confirmation.
There's something else, I'll draw your name.
- How about this Webster, sir? - Ah, one second. There are hungry here
- No thanks. - No, sir, I don't. Thank you.
Otto, can you prepare some Kung Pao chicken, but with walnuts?
[Otto Over Intercom] It doesn't matter, sir.
Ah, that child Meet him. Do you know This young congressman, Webster?
No, sir, I don't.
Not important. He reminded me of me when I was his age. Its bad.
K, you need to say that no matter what this child does...
nobody gave him difficult times.
He was misdirected, but he had something. And one day, who knows?
Okay, sir I'm sure the senator can handle Mr. Webster.
There is one concern we must...
[Evans] Oh, right, attention. Laine?
K tells about your little sexual turmoil in college.
Dirt. Tomorrow is the 17th.
- Glenda? - [Woman] Yes, sir?
Tomorrow is Jacobson's birthday. Do you have something? for bitch girls?
Yes sir. You get it Don Quixote which is bound to the skin.
Oh good. Good gift Metaphorical gift
He will try to find out why I got it forever
Ah, are you married? at the time?
Uh, I am a new student at...
You know, sir, I didn't go to comment on everything.
It's under me and it's under the press.
That's how to go. Fuck the press. Senator Hanson doesn't kiss and say it.
- That's perfect. - Maybe I'm too rude at Shelly in Hartford.
Then this will all be debated, Because you will not be president, sir.
Do you know what?
Married, unmarried, One person, two people, entire football team
Who cares?
You only see those bastards in the eyes and tell them exactly that.
These people, they will confirm you But they want to embarrass you in the process.
They want to send you this administration as a virus
So you only have one choice.
- Yes sir? - Do not be shy.
[Runyon] Two hours, gentlemen.
Now it's up to us to turn on the spark...
which will produce a moral rebellion, so that we might have...
a new birth national honesty...
and courtesy.
And sometimes in this process...
You will question even yourself
And that's good, is healthy What are we for if we are not what we believe?
Laine Hanson... is cancer A cancer of liberalism.
A cancer of infidelity.
Nominating himself is cancer affirmative action
What will we sing with a stentorian voice...
is that he is cancer good decay.
Clausewitz said the war was a natural extension of politics.
But politics also extension of war.
They are one and the same.
In this war, there will be fatalities.
But please help me God...
not among us.
[Reporter] Senator, can we talk for a minute?
[Chattering]
The President canceled the golf game with me
- He always canceled his golf game. Don't worry about that. - Not with me.
- Kermit, can I talk to you for a minute? - We will talk later.
- [Gavel Banging] - Lewis, here it is Thank you.
Ordering. Ordering.
Women and men, My name is Sheldon B. Runyon from the great state of Illinois.
This is my privilege and my honor...
to become chairman of this special audience.
We are here today the third time in our history...
to ensure proper implementation of the 25th amendment...
and for the first time...
The House has taken the responsibility
I and my esteemed person colleagues are determined...
to ensure this important issues are dealt with...
expedition and dignity.
We are proud to be welcomed by our friends and colleagues, Laine Hanson.
Madam Senator, I welcome you.
Thank you, Mr.... Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Will it be "gentlelady" from Ohio please go up and raise your right hand
Madam Senator, Have you sworn to tell the truth...
the whole truth and nothing. But actually, please help God?
- I did - Please sit down.
Chairman, point of order.
The chair recognizes Mr. Webster from Delaware.
Mr. Chairman, I immediately your attention to page 16...
tab C-25 from the ledger, Q-and-A session transcripts...
between candidates and some students from Harvard University.
- page 16? - Page 16 at the bottom of the page.
You will see the following greeting referring to a question...
about the separation of church and state.
The candidate said, and I quote, "The separation is there...
because we cannot have a story govern a country."
What, sir, the point?
The senator only swore for the entity he did not believe.
Madam Senator, you understand...
have you promised to be honest with this committee?
- And it lies to this body Are false witnesses punished by law? - Yes, I understand that
All right, I think we all agree...
that even though the senator has shown insult...
for religion and those who practice it...
which is its constitutional right...
that's not necessarily, Mr. Webster, made him a liar.
- Madam? - Yes?
For the record, will you State your name and address?
Yes. My name is Laine Hanson.
My address is...
[Woman] You can do that, draw phone notes
[Willomina] I work for men who are tough enough [Woman] Yes, we are close, We are close for a while.
That was until recently, of course. Our career path is like going in a different direction.
At least you have your life. There is nothing evil here.
At this time, we only need...
to see every aspect of his life and find everyone who knows him.
You never know what you will find - Did you find anything? - No, no, not really.
Not really? You mean...
A little, actually.
I talked with other classmates, and they said he was very wild.
Wild? Yes, he is wild.
Pretty wild You can be sure the tabloid will have a field day
Have you talked to them?
Um, me? Not. But someone somewhere will talk.
- But it's not you - Uh-uh, no
- it's okay if you have We won't lock you. - No, not yet.
So nobody likes, maybe, National Enquirer...
or one of them is a ridiculous television program
- That show, um... Access... - Secret?
No no I do not know anything.
The last time I talked to him It's just, "This child, that child."
According to our records, You talked to him on the 15th.
- Three weeks ago? - Yeah.
Yes, that makes sense.
I... He will go to Vegas.
Oh, is that really true? Vegas?
He asked me to come with him. That will be the prize.
I can't go because I have to work
We will stay in one of them a fancy new place. The, um, Bellage...?
- Bellagio? Right. - Yeah.
- With the attacker. - I have never.
You have passed my desk.
It never crossed my mind when I was young...
that I will be of this age and have no children.
Somehow in my mind, children.
Raising them, makes them good people.
That's what I want.
Then I met you, and I realized that I would...
my dream trade so that we can support you.
We sacrifice all that so we can do good.
We have done good.
I have never been proud when you struggled to make hate crimes a violation of capital and federal.
You stand so high, opposes the world, and you win.
That's when I realized it all our sacrifice was not in vain...
that you are a good person
And now, everything you have ever achieved will be eliminated...
because, with this terrible dirt...
You will go down as the second person Joe McCarthy.
Your problem, Shelly, is that You don't have a feeling of history.
He is not good.
[Other Over TV]
Come on!
Come on.
Look, Daphne? This is how you got to the top
Lew?
[Runyon] I have a problem to talk about, and I am very concerned.
If this body will spoil me, I have before me...
a perfect example of the need for this institution...
to skip the Internet Libel Protection Act In the Nichols Report...
posted to 40 million Internet customers...
Claimed that you, Senator...
involved in sexual imbalance while in college.
That is...
trade favors...
with several partners instead to enter into a student.
Even though I will not be in vain the time committee like...
nasty and rotten innuendoes...
I will not deny the senator the right to respond Mr. Chairman, I have nothing to...
I will not respond to for this article
I say "Bravo" to you, Senator.
Bravo for you.
First let me state...
what I encourage every American...
and every citizen on the planet to boycott...
Nichols Report.
This is the kind of shit and the decline of pornography...
who shouldn't see light of day
I can only assume, Senator, that you will...
not only carrying suits against the perpetrators...
but also against looks amazing that appears in this disgusting photo.
And when you do file settings, know that comes with my full support
Your refusal to reject this report Sexual deviation...
there will be no effect on this committee...
whether you need to give advice or not and approve your nomination.
Mr. President, have you commented on the allegations made on the internet today
I will not discuss any charges, especially those on the Internet.
But, sir, sexual accusations were made very common today by Congressman Runyon.
- And I'm sure he regrets it enough. - [Everyone chuckles]
Sir, if you agree with the accusation, or agree the accusation is accurate...
do you think that Senator Hanson is morally suitable for office?
what I will tell you I'm sure it's President Mateo and me...
will welcome the sound only people...
with sexual immodesty in their past We will be a landslide winner every time.
Hey, Sheila.
- They've been waiting for you about ten minutes. - Well. Hey.
- Henry, I have to talk to you in five minutes, okay? - Well.
[Chattering]
What about "his involvement in prostitution"?
No no. You have to buy it like that something...
for FB... AG to investigate.
- Hi, Reggie. - Hi.
Now, what if, "How embarrassing...
- that..." No, no, no. - Who...
- What? - Where is Gilmore?
- Gilmore - Um, Idaho? Iowa?
Can I interrupt for one second? We are all ready with America Live.
What are you talking about?
We just finished our statement...
in response to Washington Post Story.
- what story - who said the secret investigation is underway...
to determine whether he receives money...
for activities on campus.
I didn't hear about this.
Now, that, uh... This, um...
This will be... tomorrow afternoon rises
Just in time for congressmen to make a statement...
and just in time to survive the minds of Americans over the weekend.
Wh... what's the source? Where did they get the story?
- Unnamed source close to investigation. - I see.
Al.
- Al! - Yes?
We can, um... let's...
Let's mark me, skip this T one later.
Alright. thanks.
I, uh...
I think I have my own right anger comes my way Now, is there truth what is the story?
- There will be an investigation. - He will have the truth by his side.
- He will deny it and makes us all look like fools - Leave him alone.
Let him deny that part only from the story
- Hold it here - What? Oh.
It's okay. I can do it myself. Yes.
Thank you.
- America Live doesn't enter circus business - Pete is always fair
[Laine] Should I hear anything in this matter?
You will be vice president
- You will discuss it important issues of concern - Right
Where is the senator's monitor?
There is no monitor for him. He will hear Pete in the earphone.
That is bullshit. We talk about this, Ray.
If Peter can see it, he must be able to see it.
- He has sensory advantages over him. - Do you want to draw it?
I'm not talking about pulling it. I just say it's bullshit.
He was great at today's hearing. Cool and collected.
- Steve Poullet - Hi.
[Chattering]
Should I hear something? Oh I understand. OK good.
Oh, that is that. Yes I know.
Can't hear... Yes, right, understand.
Okay, I have an intro now
Thank you for having me, Peter.
Sure, that will be fine.
Already, already an annoying experience...
but if we are forced to take the the voters out of the equation...
I think it's a checking system With simple needs it must be difficult.
Mmm.
I have to ask motherhood on that one, Pete...
but I am not only served on the Foreign Relations Committee...
I sponsor Bill Hanson-Fineman who readjusts the War Wealth Act...
to enable executives to respond to for state-sponsored terrorism...
like in Iraq, Libya, North Korea, for example.
But it's not boring you with my r sum...
I prefer to answer your question on specific foreign policy issues.
I think I can ask you, Mr. Crenshaw, how do you feel in the same situation
Why did I answer that for you? Sorry. This is only a matter of privacy.
Listen, I will not discuss the issue of sexuality in the courtroom...
or on national television or elsewhere in this matter.
- Where is the control room? for America Live? - down the hall
Excuse me. Control room for America Live?
- Where is the fucking control room? - Right there.
Fuck
Here, here, here!
Don't tell me we are ready!
We start sandbagged! I know You can't trust this damn guy!
Senator Hanson, do you know Mr. Poullet?
No, no I don't have a monitor, so I can't see it.
[Poullet] Actually, Lainey and I have one incident.
I don't believe we've ever met each other after that.
For her credit, she's very drunk when she has sex...
with my friends, eh, brothers and me
Sand bags are what they are. He is fucking your friend.
He was clearly infiltrated by your show
Mrs. Hanson, you still haven't taken a stand on the accuracy of this report.
This is very accurate, and the photos are also accurate.
We have it in the frat bulletin board home for months We call it "Life in Other Sex."
- What will we do now? - We will sue for it
I will not appreciate those words or your question with a response
Good evening.
That person is a jerk. We will never place our people on the show again.
Some jerks call and make this idiot claim.
Damn, they have to investigate.
Overall situation bastard
I want to start by saying...
much has been made from reports in the investigative press...
to be possible... maybe, I say again...
criminal behavior in the candidate section.
This committee will wait for for reports from the FBI...
before taking this problem.
However, I will once again be able to the candidate is an opportunity to respond.
I will also wait for the FBI report before responding
Madam Senator.
Tell us a little about your family. You have a son.
Mm-hmm. Yes I have a six-year-old boy, Timothy.
That is a very good age.
Now, I see here that when you...
has Timothy, You are not present for your assignment...
for several months' maternity leave.
- It's the right of every mother to be able to give birth... - maternity leave
Yes. I don't believe we have to punish our citizens for having children.
I think I'm in a safe place saying it Assessing motherhood is quite nonpartisan.
- [Chuckling Gallery] - Um, are you pregnant again?
Do you plan to take maternity leave?
Um, I didn't give that No? Can you still give birth to a child?
Yes, right... I believe, yes, me.
However you have not given This is any consideration.
Maybe that means... No, strike it.
Madam Senator...
let's assume you ride to the presidency...
and you must have a small child during your tenure
Will you give up your assignment? for your vice president and for how long?
Mr. Chairman, would you like to seat hoping to have assured this committee...
that he will tie the tube before he takes office?
- Chairman, I humbly request a point of order - You will be given one.
- With all due respect... - You will be given one when I finish
The truth is that while we have put no seal on the concept has another child...
my husband and I practice birth control.
Mm-hmm.
Alright, I want now like...
enter the arena of loyalty.
Loyalty is a quality that is respected _ between the vice presidents. Do you agree
- Yes, very much. Yes. - But you chose to officially move...
from Republicans to Democrats when you go Home to run for the Senate.
I see switching as a testament for my loyalty to my country I feel that the Republic party has shifted from that ideal I was rewarded through my youth.
As a Republican, Have you ever...
choose along the party line but contrary to your own beliefs?
No, no
- do you still believe every sound you make? - Yes.
- Including your voice to interpret President Clinton? - Yes, I did
That is a matter of justice.
President, as commander in chief, standing by...
while some military officers, are candidates for chairman of the Joint Chief...
sued for adultery or not permitted...
to advance their careers.
I am opposed to committing adultery, or even lying about it, is a crime in our armed forces.
But even though it is a law, it must be enforced without consideration of ranking...
even if that rank is the commander in chief.
Maybe the senator is not aware the commander in chief is actually not a military rank.
I am aware of that.
What I think we can say President Clinton is he is innocent but responsible
[Gallery Laughter]
"Not guilty but responsible."
I... I like that.
[laughs] I, uh, I-I might, uh... I can use it.
- If you want, you can go ahead. - Thank you.
When... [Cleanses Throat] When considering you for vice president...
we must also consider your eligibility as the commander in chief.
- do you agree - Yes, I do
In that case, give your feelings in this case...
- No I don't have it. - Not?
You are pretty sure Madam Senator, you understand that, uh, you are under oath.
Yes, I understand that, between them from us, I am under oath.
When you go before The Antitrust Committee, Don't you want Hank on your side?
Of course, but not at any price.
The last time we talked, You are sitting in your place now.
Hank is sitting at Len's place. You started telling him Too bad it will be...
if the cooling system in the truck comes out.
Hank is angry, and he considers it a threat.
If we threaten him, he will know that
That's what I thought, But now we have to do massage.
- Senator Hanson Congressman Webster is here to meet you. - Forgive me?
No, I want to finish this. I did Just give me a few minutes.
If you want something to drink, Jerry will take care of you.
- Will we go back to this? - We will. We will.
Because even so, you have some weird sense of fair play.
I feel there must be some back and forth between us, You and the committee.
I will give you back and forth about Social Security, relations with Israel...
in Dow Jones, census, almost everything, but not this
No, not my personal life. It's nobody's business.
That's not what people will tell you; people will say it's their business...
that you set a standard for morality for their children.
Especially their daughters.
Have you ever heard from Isaac Lamm?
- Isaac Lamm? Not. - He is the first to come before HUAC...
Un-American House Activity Committee.
He was also the first to give the name, first to work with the government.
Domino fell from there.
Career ruined, family destroyed
Just imagine, Mr. Webster, if Mr. Lamm just said, "Fuck," to the committee.
Imagine how much more difficult he must have succeeded for them.
Are you accusing the committee Sexual McCarthyism?
Well, it's not necessary to make an accusation.
Oh, I can't respond to the committee lightly covert charges...
because it's okay for them to make Or maybe you can't respond because the answer you have Giving is too embarrassing.
Do you know what?
You are young
It's okay. It is okay. You are young
I will choose to feel amused by your naivety, give yourself the benefit of doubt.
I will spell it for you more clearly.
If I'm a man, no one cares
how many sexual partners I've been in college.
And if it's not relevant for men, is not relevant for women.
Jerry, send the people back. I have to finish this.
[Mistress. Runyon] He is not a bad person.
He believes in what he does.
There is some kind of weird integrity there
But in this business, with so much at stake...
it's not enough to believe In yourself, you must be right.
This is ideological rape of all women
Thank you dear
Well, then I'll be able to survive for all of us.
Tomorrow morning Marshall Member will ask a question
He will hit you with abortion I promise that Shelly will find it some ways to call you baby killer
We are ready for him. Our position paper is first level.
- respectively. - You let him finish Then you look into his eyes and you ask for it...
"Mr. Runyon, 20 years ago your wife Maggie had an abortion.
Do you think she was a murderer?"
She's a hypocrite.
No, not him. Shelly doesn't know.
Are you saying that you will appoint justice of the Supreme Court...
based on the choice of the pro-choice?
Mr. Marshall, vice president does not appoint a Chief Justice.
If you replace the president or even advise the president?
I will tend to, though not without flexibility...
Ignoring any man or woman pro-life from serving in the High Court.
So you allow personal politics trust to enter into such decisions?
Abortion is not a constitutional issue.
Gentlemen and good gentlemen who serve on the Supreme Court...
which is now stacked with the right wing designated...
no business that decides whether women must use abortion in the back alley...
You mean they don't have a business decides whether women have licenses to commit murder
[Runyon] Mr. Marshall, your time is up.
Sir, if distinguished "gentlelady" from Ohio will answer the question...
I think the woman is clear The tendency to have an abortion.
- Come on, Mr. Runyon! - Pak Lewis, you don't have the privilege of speaking
Chief, I found your term, "tendency to abortion"...
misrepresentative of my position
I have a tendency to have the right of women to vote.
- To abort a child! - fetus
To kill a baby like growing in the womb.
Personally, Senator...
I don't believe it the rights of our citizens...
to... become a butcher helpless man just...
is only a matter of choice.
With the risk of my own future, I say this:
If you support rights...
a woman to vote, you support...
no less than a-a-a holocaust from the unborn
Chairman, are you calling me...
I believe my position on this issue is clear.
Good lady, is sure.
God, I like this game. [Chuckles]
[Cough]
When he tried to tell me how to do it, I did it my way Then he returns and changes it After that, and in that way...
Gosh. [Cough]
Good, sir.
You are a golfer throughout the weather, I see.
What stick is that? You use there
- This is a stick. - Right, put the stick
When I asked you last week, they said you were in Vegas

That is the balance of the casino account.
He volunteered to take his younger sister to Vegas, care for him Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing But actually, please help God?
I do
Please state your name for notes.
Cynthia C-H-A-R-L-T-O-N Lee.
Thank you. Please, sit.
We will start a question and answer with Mr. Skakle.
Mr. Skakle, the five minute rule applies.
Thank you, Chairman.
Miss Lee.
Miss Lee, hello I'm here. Thank you for joining us.
Now, you are under a court call, Is that true?
Yes.
- Miss Lee, can you talk directly to the microphone? - Yes.
I understand you are nervous, but believe me when I tell you that you are a friend.
Miss Lee, you are not married.
No no.
- No, not me. - But you were once.
I was married to William Hanson.
- Who is now marrying the candidate? - Yes.
He married Laine after our divorce. That was about seven years ago.
Divorce. Right. I've read your divorce letter.
Women and men, who are talking about tab 76.
They quote irreconcilable differences.
Can you tell us, how are you? the irreconcilable difference?
I can't really show them.
- Does your husband physically bother you? - Not.
Do you have finance disagreement or disagreement about how to raise your children?
We don't have children.
- Is there an affair? - Yes. There is one.
Is it safe to say that this affair? triggered divorce?
Miss Lee, please answer the question verbally What is that?
Yes it is. That's yes.
- Are you, ma'am, cheating? - Not.
- Is that your husband? - Yes.
Will... Will be responsible...
from Laine Billings's first senator campaign
He is always with him.
Do you suggest the senator, nominee, have an affair with your husband?
- Once again, Miss Lee... - I'm sorry. Yes. Yes yes
Thank you.
Does the candidate know? Mr. Hanson is married?
Laine is my friend. My best friend.
Miss Lee, will you explain to this committee like you whether in your deposition...
how did you find that the nominee was involved...
cheating on with your husband?
Yes. Um...
On election night, I'm at home
I have the flu.
I'm watching TV, watching Laine want to make her acceptance speech.
I'm very sad that I can't be there
It was a victory for Laine and my husband
He got on the podium. Will be by his side.
He holds his hand in victory
On the other side from Laine...
He is just a kind of grasp that person's hand
But with Will...
their hands are intertwined.
That's weird that I noticed it, but...
Um, my doorbell rings.
I answered the door, and there was a gentleman there...
very well dressed, He wears a yellow tie.
He has a letter for me.
- Paper? Forgive me. - Paper separator.
Since the committee has chosen to embarrass a private woman in the most common settings...
I want to apologize for him the same...
and I will do it personally when he allows me to do it
Um, what I did to Miss Lee is wrong.
That's not done because of malice. Indeed the opposite is true.
Um...
love is involuntary reflex, and I become the victim.
Um, I'm very sorry causes Cynthia's pain...
and this is very sad for me because...
how close we are.
And what is the affair? that Will and I have...
There should be a connection with my assumption office is for the committee to decide.
I don't dare to assume that I have the purpose of wisdom to make that determination. Thank you.
- Senator, are you suggesting the community... - Okay, he has a long day.
You know what he is going through. Come on, come on.
He is your best friend.
Runyon fired Will ex-wife today, and, uh...
he stated that Will and I had an affair...
He saw him holding hands, fingers interlocking with this gal...
and he knows that he fucked her.
That's what he said.
- I'm sorry. - [Newman] This is a bad beat.
I am not sure that I can The core of all this.
- You said under oath that you never committed adultery. - Right.
- You tell yourself - I do not commit adultery
- You really want to when he's married - Alright.
Even the most loose definitions do adultery will not cover that
Damn, he's right. You are right.
For this to happen adultery, he must have to get married at that time
You're nitpicking on the contrary now
Your husband may have been an adulterer. You are not. Well.
Are you crazy about sex, home destroyer machine Warren Beatty woman.
Runyon knows that you are free of perjury...
But he has a world that thinks about you something that comes out of a bad soap opera.
You have been damned crystallized The difference between being guilty and responsible
Did you ask me to go down, sir
No, that won't happen it's easy for you, and not it will be that easy for them.
They caught you a human. That is all.
I will die before Shelly Runyon check me
I think the president tried to say it Sitting Bull routine doesn't work.
- routine sitting routine - No!
Fight.
Show them Laine Hanson won't take it their shit Fight from them.
- What is the process? - Recognize
- confess? - Yes, admit it - Confess
Confess to the gang. Confess all of that.
- [Evans] See what it does for Clinton with Flowers. - Play whatever way you want.
That doesn't hurt the amount. This increases the number.
Show anger about how a man will never have to go through hell for doing this
Recognizing and demonstrating for young American women...
how sexual negligence like that can damage their lives
Recognizing and preaching about danger alcohol can bring you.
For God's sake, admit it!
I understand, Kermit, really.
I understand, and you know what? This is nobody's business.
All right our fucking business!
Listen, Others...
I don't care who you fucked...
and how many times in how many positions...
as long as it does not threaten administration.
You can cavalier on your own money
Mr. President.
[Sighs]
I am fully prepared to resign but my personal life...
and my past...
that's all
But I will do it whatever you say.
Show them why Laine Hanson is my candidate with your closing statement
Mr. Chairman...
women and men from the committee:
Uh, very pretty, it seems that which I have some explanations to do.
I see... let me be completely clear I stand for women's rights to choose.
I stand to eliminate from the death penalty
I stand for the strong and grow the armed forces...
because we have to stop the genocide on the planet...
and I believe that is a very unfortunate cause.
I stand up to see every shotgun taken out of every house Period.
I stand to make sales of cigarettes for our youth federal violations.
I stand for the deadline for and campaign reform.
And, Chairman, I'm waiting for the separation of church and state...
and the reason I stand Because that's the same reason I believe our ancestors did it.
There is nothing to protect religion from holding the government...
but to protect our government from understanding religious fanaticism.
I might be an atheist...
But that doesn't mean I don't go to church; I go to church.
The church I visited was the church which emancipated the slaves...
it gives the woman the right to choose.
This gives us the freedom which we love dear
and I don't need God to tell me what is my absolute moral
I need my heart, my brain and this church
Get in there, go in there.
- Senator? Oh... - Hello, Freshman.
Senator, I just want to steal a few seconds.
Listen, I know the things I have done.
They may be unpleasant or are considered politically intelligent...
but they have served a greater good and they have been honest.
[Chuckles] Good.
Listen, I know you're not a prostitute
- I won't talk about it - I know. You don't talk about it
Others have advanced.
Someone from the night from the incident sent me this letter.
They did not send it to me. They send it to the committee.
I just happened to be responsible from all correspondence
I don't think you can be quiet about what's there
Mr. Runyon has a copy, and now it does.
I beg you, Senator, to overcome this
- How long is this flight? - About one hour and 40 minutes.
POTUS is scheduled to address the American Legion in third place.
- American Legion Who agreed to that? - I don't know - I think he has D.A.R. That dinner. - We have a five-hour window.
- Hey, Chuck. - Hey, Kermit
Do you get AP reports?
- What is that? - POTUS polling numbers are down 23%.
- Dan Hanson in his 30s is low. - get in there I'll talk to you in a minute.
- Are you Willomina? - Yes, Sir.
You were asked to see me - Is this your work? - Yes, Sir.
- How many people have seen this? - I gave it only to the director.
- And who have you talked to about this? - Nobody.
Not a husband Boyfriend?
- Grandma at Kalamazoo? - No sir. Nobody.
- Leave it like that. - Yes, Sir.
You are doing a good job, Special agent sir! Uh, sir, I just... I just want to ask, ask you Um, well...
Will you dump him?
Sir, this might be true, is really inappropriate...
but if that's what you are thinking...
Please, you can't do it He hopes.
Expect that standard... That there is no double standard.
Hopefully the goal will be achieved can be the same
Do you know what? You are really
That's really inappropriate.
Robertson
[Runyon] I will not consider it too hard.
This is unfair when six foxes and one chicken...
is choosing what to eat dinner
[Evans] doesn't play fair I'll give you that
Do you want oatmeal cakes?
- Trevor? - I got them, sir I found this giant raisin... Well, you will see.
Feel like grapes.
Shelly, you really made a mess of things for me You definitely did my clobber.
Isn't it possible, sir, that I am... that I'm acting...
- in the best interest from the United States? - Not.
That's impossible.
That's what pisses me off. It's all about the retribution for Hartford.
Thank you, Trevor. That will be everything.
- Continue. Try this. This is amazing. - Not.
I might have taken the presidency from you, but you raised me.
You took my inheritance
I looked at him and I saw someone who had proven the capacity for infidelity.
Or the capacity to see the light
We both stick out for our weapons The difference is... I loaded it Listen, it doesn't matter, right? He is not confirmed.
We can talk for days about greatness and leadership...
but Laine Hanson will not be confirmed I have seven from your side who gave him an ax.
Oh, really, the ax?
We can skip it voting process.
You can waste time...
and suffer humiliation, or... or we can continue.
- There are many good people to choose from. - Who?
Who can I believe Will you confirm?
The man you want in the first place: Jack Hathaway
That is like shellfish.
Good people.
Okay, Shelly...
I will give you Governor Jack Hathaway, but I want to make a damn sure...
- You will give him a smooth trip. - My word. There is a reason they call me Honest Shell
Ironically, Shelly. I want an insurance policy.
I want a piece of stone. I want to make sure...
you won't draw some kind of nonsense from your heart...
and making banter from my government again
Listening. This is what I will do
I will ask Mrs. Hanson and Mr. Hathaway get to the Oval Office...
before D.A.R. Supper tomorrow night.
I also want you there, But, Shelly...
before that, I need you to marry this man
I want you to make a public statement which makes it sink.
- If not... - But I'm not sure I can...
Let's make this confirmation fast and full of energy.
- Help me save this one face. - Well.
Oh man. Mr. Runyon, would I rather take you here?
- No, I'll be fine - Yes sir.
How do you respond to these rumors? that Mrs. Hanson revoked her name?
Have you ever heard of that possibility? Governor Hathaway...
- back to the list vice president... - Governor Hathaway is a good person.
Will he make a smoother trip than Mrs. Hanson?
Let me keep recording saying...
that I think there is no human being lives... no Democrats live...
who can bring...
more integrity to the vice president's office.
I will risk my career...
at Governor Hathaway's, uh, smooth and efficient confirmation.
[Runyon] As for Laine Hanson...
- Have everyone, Glenda? - Yes, Sir. He said he could enter whenever you were ready
- good Hello, Jack. - Kermit
- Fiona, you're looking for especially taking tonight. - Thank you sir.
- I believe this is the first this matter for you right? - Yes.
- 37 me - You look great.
- Hello, Shelly - New person.
Everyone will understand if you want to delay for two weeks I'm not sure I can stomach in two weeks Oh, Jack.
- Jerry. Well. - How are you?
Mr. Hanson.
- [Evans] Gentlemen. Push up. - Mr. President.
That's it! Clamshell!
Hello, Mr. President.
Eh, what do you know?
Before we start...
I can't stomach the idea...
Touching chichi food is always served by us at this famous dinner.
- Glenda? - Yes, Sir?
Can we collect the grilled cheese sandwich? Muenster on rye.
Immediately
Oh sorry. Where is my manners? What do you want?
- No thanks, sir. - Shelly?
Jesus, uh, Shell, are some...
very good thing You said about Jack.
Jack, there. I understand that you two have never met - Laine Hanson, Jack Hathaway. - It is a pleasure.
- I'm very impressed with you - Thank you.
[Glenda] Mr. President?
- Yes, Glenda? - Sir, the kitchen is all from Muenster.
Very? Wow. Alright, let's continue.
We don't want the wheels to come from the cart.
This, uh...
This is quite an event. Here it is Pretty sad.
- Mr. President, if possible? - Yes, please.
Just a moment ago, You told me that you thought I might be the future of the party.
I know this is a difficult time...
and the future is uncertain...
but I am very happy to think that I might be able to help make things a little more subtle.
The future is yes. Well, there is one thing...
pretty sure about the future.
- What is that? - [Cough] Sir?
- You have the right to remain silent... - Fred.
- I have to read the rights. - Fred, governor, he knows his rights
You know your rights, right, Jack? You don't need to embarrass him.
You're screwed up, friend
- The girl, do you know who she is? - what girl
- Girls on the river. - He is a paralegal - Before that. - He is military. Fourteen golf courses We found the money you entered in his account at Bellagio.
- Two hundred thousand rupiah. - And the ad is on...
- Soldier's luck. - Yeah, Fortune Soldier.
I don't mind admitting, I lost my damn total.
Shelly, he paid for it to go from the damn bridge
He paid to save him.
Jesus Christ.
- Shelly, maybe I... - You shouldn't say anything - Jack, look, we respect... - You will have to come with me now
Fred. We respect you We tried to do this as smoothly as possible.
I know you mean nothing wrong.
- Hell, I don't even know... What will be charged? - Negligent murder
Oh, negligent murder.
sir.
- Good luck, Mrs. Hanson. - You too.
Who doesn't want a shortcut to greatness?
Oh, this is really embarrassing about Muenster.
Mr. President.
Yeah, Shelly?
You set me up.
This is very much
For the record, sir...
I found what you did to be manipulative...
Chief, let's just say...
"I am guilty but not responsible," hmm?
Shelly, you don't need to worry about us exposing facts...
that you leak all that terrible material about Laine on the Internet.
We know that just follow your heart Yes, Hartford, is difficult.
But... fine, no makes a difference.
- He is still who he is. - Yes he is.
And who are you? You still come for the banquet, don't you?
Because I want to see you. Is your wife in town?
Can I introduce Comforter tonight, Miss Barr?
- Congressman Webster. - Your Majesty, Madam.
And, members of Congress, You know the senator, of course.
We walked about two feet back.
I asked them to tell you to sit on my desk tonight
- If you want to break bread with me - Of course
- Don't eat all the hors d'oeuvres. - Shark steak sandwich?
Yes. Save me some.
The last time I shared one of these, was with the Russian president.
Or maybe that kid won the Wimbledon for the second time.
I am honored, sir.
[Cough]
You should not breathe.
Maybe that's the first You should have told me.
Get to know this affidavit?
How did you get it?
Where did you get it?
Where Shelly Runyon got it.
From Mr. Webster.
He may not know the right from the left...
but apparently he really knows right from the wrong
I understand you especially now, Senator.
- You are a puzzle wrapped in puzzles. - wrapped in puzzles
Pay attention to your steps, Senator.
What if I say I'm fair? removers on stitches...
to know what exactly happened that night...
And like other students, they have initiation, hurry.
And they have this girl, this woman Runyon was overthrown, Patty LaVamere.
He runs a student, and he gives it to me straight:
If I want to enter, I have to go to their brotherhood and have sex...
with two sons
What is the coup for them, huh?
The daughter of a big Republican doing a frat house
But I said, "There is no chance."
- Everything is very hairy. - I bet.
But six beers later, I'm talking a different tone...
so we go to the frat house
Half of the girls are there, about millions of boys.
They encourage my name. "Laine! Laine! Laine!"
And I just tripped over.
Finally I just said, "I'll look for it."
If example is common initiation for boys in frat...
Then why not for us right?
- You ask me - No, not me.
Oh sorry. Sorry. Continue.
It's okay.
So they sent me to this room
It's dark and dim. There are two people.
They both have towels wrapped around their waist.
And the first person, He took off the towel.
And I see the item, and...
I took it in my hand...
and I said...
- That was the first thing that appeared in my head - What did you say?
I said, "Sorry, I don't smoke."
[Both Laughs]
And then I just got it out of there
You're fine, sir Oh, no, I just thought what I would pay to go back to college again.
The next day, on campus is rampant with the words...
that I have the center of the gang.
I mean, the governor's daughter.
Let me tell you. It's one of the bell bells that doesn't ring.
- What about the photos? - Not me.
I never took off my shirt.
Even if I have, I have a big birthmark on my right thigh...
that a woman with a beautiful physique in a photo is lacking.
- no witnesses? - Pure urban legend.
A little wish was thrown in, I think.
You know, Laine...
You can see the prick in the eyes and tell the truth.
Under oath. Tell them they are full of nonsense
And the restriction, You can at least notify me.
But look, it's really not yours business too, and still not.
There's something about almost vomiting in Havana...
it only changes a girl... to blush.
This letter from Jack Bennet...
and Larry Bellows, affidavit, I guess, what you get from Webster.
Pretty much what he said Nothing happened that night.
- They are ready to get overthrown. - That's very good of them.
So, there he is. End. Good people win.
I'll call the press conference tomorrow, read the letter...
and damn if you don't have the fastest confirmation on the record.
No sir.
"No sir"? What, "no sir"?
I would rather we don't have a press conference, sir.
Laine, maybe you've been out law school too long
- This is what they call exception proof - Yes, I realize that
- This is your ticket to anywhere History will take you - Yes.
But the principle only means something if you stick with them when they are troublesome
If I have done it before Answer the question...
you know, even to free yourself...
that means it's okay for those who have asked in the first place...
and no.
- Will you sacrifice your reputation? - Yes, I will.
People have sacrificed more for far less.
[People chatting]
- We got it! We have Goliath. - Sir, are you okay, sir?
- it's okay, guys Broke. - POTUS is safe
[Radio announcer] Of course, the president handles the joint session of Congress...
always unusual, is always an event
This speech is scheduled for to start briefly.
We understand the president has arrived at Capitol U.S.
[Other] I don't care if I never see one of these people again.
[Radio] Sources in the White House have told us that the president...
- Everything will be fine. - Do you intend to withdraw the name Senator Laine B. Hanson...
I still have one and a half years my term It has long since recovered.
- Then there is always... - Given the amazing cost made against Governor Hathaway...
- Laine, honey, it will be fine - They are in suggesting...
- Everything will be fine. - The president will appoint...
- Ambassador Francis J. Malloy number two. - Yes, thank you.
Pace me at five to ten, okay?
[Radio announcer] ... after greeting from the president of the United States.
Speaker, president from the United States.
Thank you.
Napoleon once said, When asked to explain the shortcomings great statesmen in the world...
that, "to get strength...
You need to display absolute shortsightedness To exercise power, You need to show true greatness."
Such shortsightedness and greatness is rarely found in one person.
I see what happened from the last few weeks...
and I have never come to deal with it with that quote
So, ladies and gentlemen from this Congress...
it hurts my soul to tell you that you have brought blood and shame under this large dome.
Your leadership has increased bets hate to level...
And believe this, There are traitors among us.
I'm talking about you who's the patriot to your party...
but the traitor for the final result is needed:
That truth, truth...
the concept of making it American dream that is blind to sex.
And you know, I'm not error-free.
From the start I should have come down here...
Pointing your finger in a way...
and ask, "Are you not polite, sir?"
Yesterday...
I met...
Mr. Runyon...
You might walk out at me, You might walk out on this body...
but you can't get out on the will of the American people.
Americans are good people, they are fair people, Mr. Runyon...
and they will forgive you, but they will not forget Hate and ego has no place to live...
in what my good friend Laine Hanson calls the chapel of democracy.
So, let me make one thing clear.
You come to us with any weapon that you have in your warehouse...
but there are no weapons as strong as...
like the idea whose time has arrived
A woman will serve at the highest level of the Executive Simple as that.
Yesterday...
I spoke with Laine Hanson.
I told him that he could decide on his own destiny.
If he wants to continue the struggle is to confirm...
that I will stand next to him.
He has asked me to allow him to step aside.
He told me that he wanted it my administration to end a note...
victory and not controversy.
Understand, those of you who work to bring Laine Hanson down...
that he requested his name was withdrawn from consideration...
Not because he is not great, but because he is not small.
Because both are conflicting leadership qualities...
cannot live as one in his body or soul.
Greatness. It comes in various forms.
Sometimes it comes in the form of sacrifice It is the quietest form.
Now, it turns out That Laine Hanson is a woman...
Americans obedient principles...
and he has inspired me to act together...
and I can't accept Senator Hanson's withdrawal.
And now I immediately call the voice of confirmation from Laine Hanson.
And, Speaker...
I want to make this call a live roll
I want to see those faces from you...
who will eliminate the possibility of greatness in American leadership...
because of half truth, lies and satire.
I will not be deterred by partisanship.
I will not be blocked by misogyny
I will not be blocked with hate
You are now face to face with my will
Confirm my candidate, Heal this nation...
and let the American people explode into this new millennium...
with joy it becomes reality for the glory of this democracy.
Thank you.
How's that for goose songs?
Yes I know.
