C Congresswoman
Mr. Hirsch, please rise. Raise your right hand. Do you swear that the testimony you are about to give this committee is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you, God?
C Congresswoman
Please take a seat. Senator Eavis, it's your time.
SG Senator Gil Eavis
Gregory Hirsch, executive assistant to Tom Wambsgans, is that correct?
Yes. Yes, if it is to be said.
If it is to be said, so it be--so it is.
Uh, yes. I merely wish to answer in the affirmative fashion.

Hey, Dad, I--... just out of interest, um... Did you ever think I could do it?
Do what? The top job? Oh, I don't know, maybe. Eh...
I-- Well, you know, I just... You know, you're smart, you're good, but I... I just don't know.
You're not a killer. You have to be a killer. But... nowadays... maybe you don't. I don't know.
