It's the curse of every daughter's father.
Boyfriends?
I don't like them, I don't like them at all.
Yes, I know sir.
What the hell happened with you two? It was perfect. I just kept you in the office all the time.
Well, she was unhappy that I was at the office all the time.
That was the point. If I was trying to make her happy, I'd buy her a Cabriolet.
I like your sass.
You've got a very nice sass yourself... sir.
What, are you touring?
I could.
Mr. McGarry, Mr. Ziegler, Mr. Lyman, Miss Cregg. It's the Temptations! I love you guys!
You only think you've heard everything, but you haven't.
Hit me.
Toby.
James Hoebuck will vote yea ten-thirty if we give him $115,000.
Million?
Thousand. $115,000.
For an RV? What's he want?
An NIH study on remote prayer.
I like it. There should be a button on my desk I can press and forty-nine people instantly pray for me.
We cut farm assistance in Colombia. Every single crop we developed was replaced with cocaine. We cut aid for primary education in northwest Pakistan and Egypt; the kids went to madrassahs. Why weren't you making a case that Republican senators are bad on drugs, and bad on national security? Why are Democrats always so bumfuzzled? By the way, sixty-five more flight schools today. Maisy hasn't found your guy. Don't worry. There are thousands more.
You know something there, General Tso? If you had a story, you'd write it. If you don't have one, shut up. We just lost a vote. We're not bumfuzzled. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to cancel a photo op with a goat.
You took funding for remote prayer to the President?
I did it with gusto.
That's 'cause you don't know the story of Fishhooks McCarty.
Is this a real person or a Donna person?
Corrupt politician on the Lower East Side in the '20s. Every morning he stopped at the St. James Church on Oliver Street and said the same prayer, "O Lord, give me health and strength. We'll steal the rest."
Not that there needs to be, but... was there a point?
You've got health and strength, both of which, coincidentally, I prayed for after hot lead was shot into your body.
Yeah... You're going to need some Kryptonite, by the way.
Okay, settle down.
All right.
So you've got health and strength.
And we'll steal the rest?
Bet your ass.
All right. Good work tonight.
