:35:01
We have a Mandrake
tradition. We hunt,
:35:03
but we only eat
what we shoot.
:35:05
So if we get skunked,
then we spend Thanksgiving
drinking brandy and starving...
:35:10
in front of
a crackling fire.
:35:12
But not to worry.
Caleb is a superb shot.
:35:18
Listen, I would love to come.
And actually, where I come from
we have the same tradition.
:35:22
It's just what we shoot,
we call pigeons.
Hmm.
:35:24
Ames. Ames,
I'd like to introduce you
to Mr. Lucas McNamara.
:35:29
Senator. It's a pleasure
to meet you.
Pleasure's mine, Lucas.
:35:33
We've been waiting
for that law school
application of yours.
:35:36
I'm on the
admissions committee.
:35:38
Ames, you know that's
inappropriate to discuss
in front of a candidate.
:35:43
You're right, Litten.
:35:45
So, Caleb,
what are your plans ?
:35:50
I'm just treading water,
waiting to see what happens.
:35:53
Then your arms must
be getting tired.
:35:56
They are, Dad.
:35:58
'Cause you keep throwing me
into the deep end of the pool.
:36:01
Excuse me.
I need a drink.
:36:12
So, what do you think
of all this ?
:36:15
Well, to be honest,
it's all a little bit
overwhelming.
:36:17
It was for me too.
We share similar
backgrounds, you and I,
:36:21
and I hope, similar values,
which could put the society's
influence to better use.
:36:27
Do you have any questions ?
[ Chuckles ]
Millions.
:36:30
Like for instance,
who pays for all this ?
:36:33
Rule 46 in your book:
:36:35
''Each member is required
to leave a percentage of
his estate to the Skulls.''
:36:39
And-And the word ''war''
in the ritual room--
:36:42
what exactly is
the significance ?
:36:44
Those who wish to become
our leaders choose
the ordeal of war...
:36:47
to prove themselves
worthy of the privilege.
:36:49
What if we're at peace ?
There are always wars
to be fought, Luke.
:36:52
You ever need anything,
even if it's just to shoot
the proverbial shit,
:36:57
you call me.
