Mrs. Landingham and Charlie in “Ellie”

[about the President's movie options] And what was the other one about?

Charlie

"Prince of New York?"

Yeah.

Charlie

[reading off a sheet of paper] It's an updated version of Dostoyevsky's "The Idiot" which tells the story of a Christ-like epileptic young man who embodies goodness, but encounters sex, crime, and family dysfunction.

Hard to imagine why you didn't think the President would enjoy that, Charlie.

Charlie

Well, he would have especially enjoyed the scene where the Prince Myshkin character has a seizure while engaging in an erotic fantasy in a Long Island church.

Charlie, please don't say the word "erotic" in the Oval Office.

Charlie

I'd be perfectly happy never to say any of those words anywhere ever again.
