2:38:00
About what?
2:38:02
This
2:38:04
This line of work.
2:38:06
I spoke to Richard.
He back on board.
2:38:09
I'm putting him in charge--
campaign manager.
2:38:14
I'm bringing Daisy back, too.
2:38:17
That's not what this is about.
2:38:20
Then what is it?
2:38:22
Libby.
2:38:23
Her test. You flunked it.
2:38:26
But just now I passed it.
2:38:29
So which grade do I get, Henry?
2:38:32
If she hadn't died--
2:38:34
Then I'd have leaked the file
and felt bad about it.
2:38:38
But I'd have been wrong not to.
2:38:41
What I did now, I did for Libby.
But it wasn't right.
2:38:45
If Picker hadn't quit,
he'd have taken the party.
2:38:49
Just a matter of when.
2:38:52
And how. And who took him down.
2:38:55
Those are fine points, Henry.
2:38:57
They' re How many angels fit
on the head of a pin" points"
2:39:02
This is hardball .
2:39:04
Do you mean you just realized
that and can't handle it?
2:39:08
I know you better than that.
2:39:11
This is it, Henry. This is
the price you pay to lead.
2:39:15
You don't think Lincoln was
a whore before he was president?
2:39:20
He had to tell his stories and
smile his back-country grin.
2:39:24
He did that so one day he'd have
the opportunity... .
2:39:29
. .to stand before the nation and
appeal to our better nature.
2:39:33
That's where the bullshit stops.
2:39:36
That's what it's all about.
2:39:39
Making the most of it,
doing it the right way.
2:39:43
You know that there are plenty
of people in this game... .
2:39:47
...who don't think that way.
2:39:50
They'll sell their souls... .
2:39:53
. .Iie to people, divide them,
2:39:56
play on their fears, for nothing.
2:39:59
Just for the prize.
