I wanna do my job. I wanna suck every morsel of meat off this experience before it's over.
Just get something done, will ya?
That'll come down to what it always comes down to.
What's that?
How dirty do my feet have to get without disappearing into the mud in order to get an inch of what I really want done.
Relaxing makes me nervous. It feels like I'm missing something.
We're both about to fall off a cliff. And I don't know what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life, except I know what I don't wanna do. And on Inauguration Day, you're going to be released from that glorious prison on Pennsylvania Avenue, with...
No human skills?
Seems to me...
I should punch you in the face.
That's what I'm talking about.
Keep going...
So, if I'm gonna jump off the cliff, and you're gonna get pushed off the cliff, why don't we hold hands on the way down?
Men are like salmon. Swimming upstream, hosing down the riverbed with their indiscriminate seed...
Indiscriminate seed?
Until...
Did you just say "indiscriminate seed"?
Until they die, bloated and spent, belly-up in the sun.
Oh, quit sweet-talkin' me, baby.
Unless they get taken out with a bear paw in the waterfall, as they deserve to be.
What's wrong?
Close the door.
I didn't do it.
Close the door.
Toby did it.
Shut up!
[closes the door] Gonna talk now? [silence] Seriously. I don't react well to this... It's like staring at a dog.
I think Doug Westin is having an affair with his nanny.
Geez! I don't wanna know that! Why did you tell me that?
Because you deal with the press and I don't want you to get blind sided.
Exactly! I work with the press. I do my best work when I'm the least informed person in the room. You taught me that.
Suck it up.
