175. "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc?"Copy !req
176. Bet that had them rolling.Copy !req
177. Be funny. You're best
with a pie in your face.Copy !req
178. I'd hold back, keep it in your pocket.Copy !req

doesn't it?Copy !req
191. Strange?Copy !req
192. Strained. "This is a time when
the president needs our support. "Copy !req

Then she's what I think.Copy !req
228. - I left abruptly.
- You're gonna try to reform her.Copy !req
229. I want to say a proper goodbye

307. - That's a thought that will fester.
- Hold still.Copy !req
308. Thank you.Copy !req
309. I'm not comfortable with violence.Copy !req
310. I know we have enemies but
I don't feel violent toward them.Copy !req
311. I don't know if that's a weakness...Copy !req
312. but I know how the Joint Chiefs
would answer that.Copy !req
313. Let the Chiefs get to know you.Copy !req
314. They're naturally suspicious
of your leadership.Copy !req
315. That comes from a lifetime between
the devil and the deep blue sea.Copy !req
316. They're men of character.
They may not like your resume...Copy !req

they'll like you personally.Copy !req

- I'm accomplished and brilliant.Copy !req
353. - And look how young I am.
- What about Gil McGreggor?Copy !req
354. Who would think with all that...Copy !req
355. I would be this young or cute?Copy !req
356. - Gil McGreggor. Mandy!
- But here I am.Copy !req
357. - I'm not calling him!
- Why not?Copy !req
358. - I'm not cold-calling like a salesman!

I had a pretty good day.Copy !req
584. - I don't need saving.
- Yeah, you do.Copy !req
585. I make more money than you do.Copy !req
586. You and any kid
with a decent paper route.Copy !req
587. You understand I wasn't abused
as a child, that I like what I do?Copy !req
588. - It's putting me through law school.
- No bar will admit you with a bust.Copy !req
589. - I don't plan on that.
- As opposed to those who do?Copy !req
590. - You look terrific tonight.
- Thank you.Copy !req
591. I'm not saying that
to get my coat back.Copy !req
592. You'll try and change me,
arguing, asserting...Copy !req
593. I'm a lawyer and a speechwriter.Copy !req
594. I'm sought after
because I'm good at it.Copy !req
595. You humiliated me back there
and you scared me.Copy !req
596. You understand that?Copy !req
597. Yes.Copy !req
598. And?Copy !req
599. I guess that's just the way it goes.Copy !req

- I don't know any.Copy !req
611. Now he tells me.Copy !req
612. I recite members of Congress
