Mom's really tired. Let's do this some other time.
Oh, sure. Yeah, that won't leave us lying awake in bed all night wondering if she has cancer.
Okay. Um... there's this article coming out in the next few days, and it's going to imply that when I was at the CIA--
(cutting Elizabeth off) It's a hit piece accusing Mom and President Dalton of having an affair 20 years ago.
It is not true.
What? Who's behind it?
We don't know.
How can they just say that with no proof?
Isn't that slander?
Libel if they publish it.
Look, we just want you guys to know that it's going to be out there for a few days.
That's disgusting.
And, we're not responding, so it just goes away with the next crisis, and I am so sorry.
You do not need to apologize to us.
Wait, wait. So you're just gonna let them say that?
I'm gonna get attacked a lot.
(scoffs)
Just means they're nervous about me.
