[storming into the Oval Office] Mr. President, have you lost what little was left of your mind? I can't possibly work like this!
Oh, dear God.
Cut!
I had it!
Excuse me, sir, is this a bad time?
It's a bit of a bad time, Lionel...
Well, forgive me, sir, but when you have a few moments, I would like to discuss the hiring of a blonde and leggy fascist whose knowledge does not include the proper order of the alphabet for positions of the White House Counsel's office.
And we will, Lionel, but right now I don't know if you noticed but there are thirty or forty other people in the room, many of whom have donated significant amounts of money to the Democratic Party, so perhaps you could put a tighter grip on your horses and we will talk about it later.
Yes. Well. Good morning, everyone! Thank you, Mr. President.
[walks out of the room in complete silence]
Well, obviously, Lionel Tribbey is a brilliant lawyer whom we cannot live without, or there would be very little reason not to put him in prison.
