"I wanna make sure that when you talk about Daylight Savings Time, you don't forget to talk about crime." "It'll get dark earlier all year long, which means more burglaries and murders and rape through the roof." "Wait, isn't that bad?" "Wait, wait, you didn't let me get to the best part." "More crime means more for-profit prisons." "We're gonna lock 'em up and we're gonna fry 'em." "What are you, a monster?" "If you kill them, they can't get arrested again." " That's how we make our money." " Processing fees." "SHAWNEE:" "Right, which you would know if you hadn't been losing a battle of wits with a meatball." "Great candidate, Dad." "Impressive."

"Yeah, sure, sure." " CATHERINE:" "Morning!" " MARJORIE:" "Morning." " Hey!" " You guys had a slumber party." "Yeah!" "So, listen, we're about to get breakfast" "  and Gary's gonna go..."

" It's athleisure-wear, ma'am." " Okay, that's not a word, Marjorie." " That's disgusting!" " Close it." " All right, well," "I don't even know why I try with those two." " Honestly." " Hey, ma'am, before we get back to work, would you mind writing a letter of recommendation to the Harper Day School?" "We're just trying to get Ellen in there, and it'd be really good."

" Does it hurt?" " Oh, no, Richard." " It doesn't hurt." "Wait, really?" " No, but how is that possible?" "Well, my family in Iowa was pretty religious." "Grandma Splett always said that self-pleasure was a sin like microwaves or laughter." "Do you need a minute or...?" "No." "Worse comes to worst, I'll burn in hell like Grandma Splett." "You know what?" "He has a really good heart." "(DOOR CLOSES)" "I'm sorry, I'm still understanding how the cup comes into play." "Oh, you... you just have to aim and... and what..." "How many of these do I need to fill up?" "Yeah, no, you just have to do one." "Just one?" "Okay." "I think that'll be easier." "How will I know when I'm done?" "You know, I'll figure it out." "I'll probably figure it out." " SHAWNEE:" "Jonah." " (GASPS, GRUNTS)" " Hi." " Hey." "Hi." "So, that really happened, huh?" "Why didn't you take me back to your place?" "Do you live with your mom?" "No." "Pfft, no." "She wishes." "I live in my office." "DC rents are insane, and Ben and Kent say I can't use campaign money." " Can I use campaign money?" " No, you can't use campaign money." "Okay." "Second opinion." "I chose your outfit for the day, but I'm donating the rest of your suits to a charity for rescued circus giraffes." "I'm pretty sure I can take care of dressing myself." " Can you?" " Hey, um, do you have time to..." " No." " Okay." "It's just you look really good in my robe, and I thought if you had some time, maybe I could finger you or something?" "No, I have to get going." " Okay." " We'll fuck again tonight at 7:30 with less kissing." "Okay." "Yeah, no, 7:30 works." " I'm taking a Pop-Tart." " Can I ask you a question?" " (SIGHS) What?" " Just... this is the first time that that's happened since the treatment, since the cancer," " and I..." " Oh, my God, get to it." "What?" "Did my missing ball freak you out?"

"(DOOR OPENS)" " Cuba?" " Hey, green tea with a hint of rosemary." "Okay, we're right in the middle of working." "Gary, can I get a Sprite?" "SELINA:" "Yeah, get him a Sprite." "Anyway, so Daddy never came home empty-handed." "I have the most amazing snow globe collection." "(KNOCK AT DOOR)" " No." "Really?" " I haven't even shown you that yet." " Yeah, you're gonna die." "Yeah." " The board is ready for you." "Oh, the... right." "Oh, I bet you got a great snow globe from Cuba." "Oh, no." "Actually, he brought me back an ashtray from Cuba." "Good morning."

"I've asked you before not to do that impression, ma'am." "(MOCKING)" "I mean, do I fuck her?" "The entire town thinks I am anyway." "You're my mom's favorite couple." "It would be uncharted territory for me." "Sort of like Indiana Jones, I guess." "Digging my way through the ancient ruins, hacking my way past the crazy cobwebs and snakes and shit, hoping my face doesn't melt when I open her up." "I'm sure if I saw it, I would..."

"(LAUGHING) Oh, it's true, it's true 'cause he tried to pull her wig off." "He didn't like her Broadway show." "So, I just wanna clarify some of the details about the night that Daddy actually died." "Did Mother have to get the body flown back here?" "What?" "No." "Of course not." "Oh, so, then how... how did his body get back?" "From where?" "He died in the barn." "No, he was away on business." "No, that's just what we told her when she was a little girl." " But you knew that, right?" " Mm-hmm." "Her mother and I didn't want her to see the body and poor Barbara."

" (PENCIL SNAPS)" "Yeah, she had to go to the loony bin after that." "Your mother paid for it." "She always referred to it as "the spa."" " What?"

"No, no, no, no." "Your dad sold it to get the IRS off of his back." "  You knew that, right?" " Dad..." "Daddy sold Chicklet?" "Your mother wasn't gonna bail him out anymore." "You know, she had a great head for business." "Damn fine lady." "Mm." "That's why you didn't get a snow globe." "No business trip." "Oh, I haven't thought of those snow globes in a million years." "Yeah, we just were unpacking all of them." "Barbara loved buying you those." "You know, she had no children of her own, you know, because your dad was always taking her to the doctor." " What a character." " I gotta..." "I'm gonna get out of here." "I'm gonna borrow that." "Anytime, Madam President." "Uncle George sounded pretty sweet on Mee-Maw, huh?" " What?" " Never mind."

" Ooh, I am so excited that he's excited." " AMY:" "Yes." "Well, he is asking one favor, though." "Oh, of course he is." "What does Rumpleforeskin want?" "Apparently, he is having trouble getting his son into the Harper Day School, so Mr. Tanz would love a letter of recommendation from the former President of the Untied States." "Oh, my God." "Is he joking?" "I mean, I can't write multiple letters of recommendation to some grammar school." "Mike, give me the letter." " And... and what is his son's name?" " Prescott." "Prescott." "Who does he think he's trying to kid?" "Okay." "Anyway, use this letter that Mike wrote." "It's beautifully written, too, by the way." "Mike, would you mind fixing this all up?" "No, no." "It'll just take a moment." "It's for the library, though." "You know that, right?" "Sure." "You want me to take out that I worked for you diligently for 20 years?" "Diligently?" "I..." "I'm not sure I concur with that." " Look, are you okay with this?" " Yeah." "She's gonna get into the school anyway." " She's Asian." " Sure." "He can't afford private school to begin with." "That's what I told him." "It's like she doesn't hear me or even see me." "And anytime she does, all she cares about is tearing me down, and it's like she's trying to ruin everything." "Okay, Catherine," "I know I'm not supposed to interrupt you, but do you realize these are the same complaints you've had for 15 years?" "Yeah, but they're not exactly the same." "I think that things have changed." "Okay, Catherine, sit up." "You're slouching." "And what is that on your sweater?" "It's just, like, a woman's face with sunglasses on." "Let's stop for today." "SELINA:" "What's happening with my wax statue?" "Gary and I were able to have you placed on the replica of the Truman Balcony." " Oh!" " So, it's very, very high up." " And safe." " And you are encased in glass from the front and the back..." " It's very safe." " um, all around." "It's very striking and stately." "So, people were trying to have sex with my statue." " Yeah." " Domestic terrorism." "Still, it's better than standing next to Gerald Ford." " Oh." " That's the spirit." "See, when people get near this," " they just wanna do it." " Oh, yeah." "Thank God you're not trying to do me all the time." " (LAUGHING)" " Right?" " You all right?" " Dominoes."
