Rough day?
Nah, typical.
You love it, you live for it, you were born to do it, I'm the same way. Everybody tells me to get a life, although I don't know why... I find life to be terribly overrated. It's actually quite boring when it's not disappointing. Say what you will about what we do, but boring it is not.
I know that you can parlay the Santos win into a doubling of your fee.
Tripling, if it figures into your memoirs.
Nothing is going to top this. Everything else's going to be a letdown.
Letdowns that make me semi-rich, that's a tradeoff I'm willing to endure.
You don't care about money.
Who doesn't?
You!
Not as such.
As what?
Score-keeping. Quantitative evidence that I'm smarter than you. Not you.
Who?
Everybody else.
Come on board as communications director.
Thank you, but no.
Finish what you started.
I'm not interested in governing.
Campaigning's about promise; governing's about achievement. It's, it's tougher and a lot less romantic, but it's not boring. I already think you're smarter than everyone, that's why I want you down the hall. Come on, it's not like getting a life!
That's true, look at you.
