00:01:22,756 --> 00:01:24,Thank you.
Thank you very much!

00:01:30,631 --> 00:01:32,Thank you very...

00:01:32,632 --> 00:01:35,Thank you, so incredibly
grateful to be here.

00:01:36,769 --> 00:01:37,Thank you very much.

Baines! Baines! Baines!

00:01:41,275 --> 00:01:43,[rhythmic clapping]

00:01:55,322 --> 00:01:57,Thank you very, very much!

00:01:57,957 --> 00:02:00,[Michael] History has proven that a
great leader can change the world.

00:02:01,128 --> 00:02:02,For better or for worse.

00:02:04,263 --> 00:02:07,Once upon a time,
in the not-too-distant future,

00:02:07,301 --> 00:02:09,America was at war with itself.

00:02:10,804 --> 00:02:13,Our political parties
had fallen into crisis.

00:02:13,941 --> 00:02:15,An identity crisis.

00:02:17,044 --> 00:02:18,And where there is war,

00:02:19,145 --> 00:02:20,there are soldiers.

00:02:23,616 --> 00:02:24,[man grunting]

00:02:24,784 --> 00:02:25,And where there are soldiers,

00:02:27,653 --> 00:02:28,there are casualties.

00:02:35,162 --> 00:02:37,Mary Maple was once
the Magnolia Queen.

00:02:37,631 --> 00:02:38,Yes, it's me.

00:02:39,299 --> 00:02:42,Thirty years and 30 pounds ago.
[laughs]

00:02:42,269 --> 00:02:44,- Michael.
- Yes.

00:02:44,003 --> 00:02:45,Tell me about yourself,
what's your background?

00:02:46,139 --> 00:02:47,Where'd you go to school?

00:02:47,841 --> 00:02:49,I graduated from GW.

00:02:49,342 --> 00:02:51,Hmm. What did
you major in?

00:02:51,344 --> 00:02:53,Political Science with
a minor in Journalism.

00:02:54,681 --> 00:02:55,What kind of grades?

00:02:56,216 --> 00:02:57,Graduated with honors.

00:02:57,850 --> 00:02:58,Cum laude.

00:02:59,019 --> 00:03:00,Cum laude.

00:03:00,187 --> 00:03:01,My goodness.

00:03:02,155 --> 00:03:04,- Sugar?
- Oh, yes please.

00:03:04,625 --> 00:03:06,[Michael] Mary Maple.

00:03:06,158 --> 00:03:07,A very good person
to know in Washington.

00:03:08,829 --> 00:03:10,So, how can I
help you, Michael?

00:03:11,764 --> 00:03:13,Well, it's pretty clear
that Senator Baines

00:03:13,233 --> 00:03:14,is gonna run for president.

00:03:16,302 --> 00:03:18,If I can be anywhere
near that, I mean...

00:03:20,907 --> 00:03:22,I could learn a lot
from the man.

00:03:23,909 --> 00:03:25,Well, John is a good friend.

00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:29,- Nothing is set in stone, of course.
- No, no, of course.

00:03:29,782 --> 00:03:32,Rob Reynolds is unofficially
running the campaign.

00:03:32,252 --> 00:03:34,I have heard of him, although I
haven't made his acquaintance.

00:03:34,888 --> 00:03:37,Rob is also
a good friend.

00:03:37,691 --> 00:03:38,He's the best at what he does.

00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:40,Yes, he is.

00:03:47,933 --> 00:03:51,Consider yourself invited to
the Maple Foundation event,

00:03:51,104 --> 00:03:54,where my good friend John Boland
Baines is our guest speaker.

00:03:55,741 --> 00:03:58,I'll even introduce you
to Rob Reynolds myself.

00:04:01,381 --> 00:04:03,I'd very much appreciate that, Mrs.
Maple.

00:04:05,051 --> 00:04:06,Call me Mary.

00:04:07,753 --> 00:04:09,Oh! My goodness!

00:04:09,723 --> 00:04:12,Oh! My goodness!

00:04:12,058 --> 00:04:15,Oh! My! Oh, darlin'! Michael!

00:04:15,795 --> 00:04:17,Darlin', I need you...
I need you...

00:04:17,798 --> 00:04:19,I need you to stop
for a minute.

00:04:20,966 --> 00:04:24,Oh. Oh. Oh.

00:04:26,807 --> 00:04:27,[Mary sighs]

00:04:31,444 --> 00:04:32,[sighs]

00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:38,- Hey.
- What?

00:04:39,119 --> 00:04:41,Where'd you go?
I'm in here.

00:04:41,387 --> 00:04:43,[chuckles]

00:04:53,233 --> 00:04:54,You know, I like you
better without it.

00:04:55,367 --> 00:04:56,You mean you
don't like my wig?

00:04:56,970 --> 00:04:58,No, no, no.
I like your wig.

00:04:59,206 --> 00:05:00,I mean, here.

00:05:00,906 --> 00:05:01,Now.

00:05:05,045 --> 00:05:06,I like you like this.

00:05:07,848 --> 00:05:09,[sighs] You do?

00:05:11,785 --> 00:05:14,Oh, sugar, you really
are something.

00:05:14,788 --> 00:05:16,[both chuckling]

00:05:17,023 --> 00:05:18,[moaning]

00:05:18,524 --> 00:05:21,Oh! Oh!

00:05:22,161 --> 00:05:24,[moaning loudly]

00:05:31,904 --> 00:05:34,[Michael] A little over a
year ago, at a lunch counter,

00:05:34,074 --> 00:05:36,my boss,
Senator Lester Garret,

00:05:36,175 --> 00:05:38,told me he had a pain
in his abdomen.

00:05:39,346 --> 00:05:42,Less than two months later,
Lester died of pancreatic cancer.

00:05:43,983 --> 00:05:45,I'd been out of work
ever since.

00:05:46,552 --> 00:05:48,I had to make something happen.

00:05:48,788 --> 00:05:51,I was on borrowed time
in a borrowed SUV.

00:06:03,435 --> 00:06:04,That Judge Karl?

00:06:06,372 --> 00:06:07,How did you get this?

00:06:08,541 --> 00:06:11,Callie, Judge Karl
has a wife and kids.

00:06:11,310 --> 00:06:12,Precisely.

00:06:12,812 --> 00:06:14,And he's been
a judicial activist

00:06:14,915 --> 00:06:17,against same-s***x marriage
for his entire career.

00:06:17,516 --> 00:06:20,Some of his legal language was
actually in DOMA, for Christ's sakes.

00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:24,I mean, he's a hypocrite
of the highest order.

00:06:24,156 --> 00:06:26,[Michael] Callie and I met when we
were both interning for Lester.

00:06:27,293 --> 00:06:29,Yeah, but, Callie...

00:06:31,230 --> 00:06:32,wife and kids.

00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,Yeah, you're right, I can't
do that to the wife and kids.

00:06:36,302 --> 00:06:39,[Michael] She's my roommate and
my best friend. But lately...

00:06:39,338 --> 00:06:40,I'll blackmail him.

00:06:41,608 --> 00:06:43,How much do you think
we would get?

00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:45,Not much, honestly.

00:06:45,911 --> 00:06:47,[scoffs]

00:06:47,514 --> 00:06:49,[Michael] She had quite
a collection going.

00:06:50,483 --> 00:06:51,Most of those guys weren't
exactly big players, though.

00:06:52,485 --> 00:06:53,The judge tape...

00:06:54,086 --> 00:06:55,This was different.

00:06:56,255 --> 00:06:58,You know,
in this little box...

00:07:00,526 --> 00:07:02,is the real DC.

00:07:02,161 --> 00:07:03,Yeah, and it's going to
stay in that box.

00:07:03,562 --> 00:07:04,For a rainy day.

00:07:05,398 --> 00:07:06,Speaking of rainy days...

00:07:07,067 --> 00:07:09,umm, how we doing on rent?

00:07:09,035 --> 00:07:11,[sighs] 'Cause, uh,
that's a final notice.

00:07:11,403 --> 00:07:14,Yeah, we're probably going to
have to bust out the umbrellas.

00:07:15,175 --> 00:07:16,Really?

00:07:18,345 --> 00:07:19,[clears throat]

00:07:19,913 --> 00:07:22,That was a gift
from Tanya.

00:07:22,081 --> 00:07:24,Oh, how nice of her.

00:07:24,184 --> 00:07:25,Did you ever consider
selling the coke?

00:07:25,619 --> 00:07:28,Michael, I can't
sell a gift.

00:07:28,487 --> 00:07:30,We have to pay rent.

00:07:30,257 --> 00:07:31,I know.

00:07:32,024 --> 00:07:35,[sighs] Whatever are we to do?

00:07:53,213 --> 00:07:55,[Michael] This is
my friend Kevin Bidwell,

00:07:55,247 --> 00:07:58,noted political journalist
for a noted political newspaper

00:07:58,084 --> 00:07:59,whose circulation
was way down.

00:08:00,452 --> 00:08:01,Who you fuckin'?
[laughs]

00:08:01,487 --> 00:08:03,[Michael] Kevin Bidwell,

00:08:03,523 --> 00:08:04,former college roommate who
lived vicariously through me.

00:08:04,925 --> 00:08:07,I wanna work
for John Baines.

00:08:08,194 --> 00:08:10,I want a rim job
from Ann Coulter,

00:08:10,430 --> 00:08:12,but that doesn't mean
it's gonna happen.

00:08:12,432 --> 00:08:14,[Michael] It was like college
had never ended for Kevin.

00:08:14,701 --> 00:08:16,All right, so what is it
you actually want, Michael?

00:08:16,435 --> 00:08:17,I mean, let's say you...

00:08:18,103 --> 00:08:20,you get the job,
and Baines became president?

00:08:21,173 --> 00:08:23,Where do you see yourself?
Humor me.

00:08:23,543 --> 00:08:25,I see myself running
for Congress.

00:08:25,411 --> 00:08:26,And I see myself winning.

00:08:27,279 -->...
