"When you're fitting her with clothes," "It's a perfect opportunity" "To say something like," ""this would look so much better" "If you put a little meat on your bones." "She's losing weight to a degree" "That she needs to be spoken to." "She's a zero." "She's in a danger zone." "Coming up next on the real housewives of d.C..." "You don't like tyra?" "She's just hideous." "Hideous?" "She struts like this." ""and you ain't got it goin' on, baby!"" "Boo, I got you clothes." "Yeah!" "Paul wharton is a great friend to me."

" Come, come into my boudoir." "All about it." "So, listen..." "There was one thing that happened last night." " Okay." " That I" "That I have been asked to talk to you about." "You can talk to me about anything." "Lynda came over to me and she said" "That she was very concerned about you." " Oh." " And your weight." "And she said, "will you please talk to michaele," "Because I see every bone in her--"" "That is so funny." "In her chest." "And" "She's checking me out really good." "I'm--I don't know how I feel about that." "She apparently counted every bone." "You know, I don't see it." "I said, "no, it's fine." "" and she says, "no, paul." ""listen, from the time I last saw her," "She says you've lost ten pounds."" "Okay, why is paul telling me this, first of all?" "Second of all, lynda shouldn't be concerned with my weight." "But she-- boo, do you eat?" "Um, I'm healthy, I'm happy." "I've always been thin." "Why always pick on the skinny girl?" "Yeah." "Why us lynda doing that?" "Why?" "She's, like, obsessed to talk about me." "Like, just leave me alone." "Okay, stop fretting over the table." "It looks fine." "See, is it red, white?" "Big, little, yeah." "So switch those two."

"They got the shades on!" "Aviators on, sort of chillin', right?" "That is so..." "Cool." "He's being super cool," "Sitting in the back of a stretch limo" "With the vice president." "That's cool." "How did you land a rock star like that?" "Timing, darling." "It's all about timing." "And destiny as well." "So I've been dying to hear the story" "About the romance with you and your husband." "We met when I was 18." "And I didn't see him again" "Until last January." "And I wanted a refund for the last 18 years of my life." "3, 2, 1--new life!" "Wow." "He's on the campaign trail." "He's with obama until 2:00 in the morning." "Did obama know about you and the whole romance?" "Obama and all his crew" "Knew the romance from day one." " Ohh." " Oh, my god." "That's cool." "So they're that close?" " Yeah." " Charles, hook it up." " Yeah." " That's cool." "But I've yet to meet him." "So he knows about you, but he doesn't know you." "He lived our romance with charles." "Okay, so you need to have a party." "You need to invite him over, and we'll all come." "So, chef, who else do you cook for?" "Cooked for tyra banks." " Ooh." " Cooked for..." "Oh, no, poor you." "Actually, I cooked for patrick ewing." "Poor--did you say "poor you"?" "Yeah." "You don't like tyra?" "Oh, no." "Oh, I love tyra!" "Tyra banks is like" "She's the most important woman on the planet" "In everything she does, wherever she goes." "And it's really dramatic and, yuh!" "Yuck." "Why?" "Why, why, why?" "She's just..." "Hideous." "Hideous?" "!" "She's beautiful!" "Yeah, I wasn't talking about the way she looks." "She's beautiful, but she's hideous." "I wouldn't want to cook for her." "I wouldn't want to do anything for her." "I like her." "I like her a lot." "I like that she's a good business woman." " Yeah." " I'm sorry." "No, she's like business woman extraordinaire!" "She's just like this." ""and you ain't got it going on, baby!" "I should get your ass home."" "Oh, my god." "I was shocked." " She's just really-- - nah." "Yuh!" "Those girls were definitely a little offended." "The whole room got a little awkward." "Hey, don't be so surprised." "We've all got opinions." "I'm an opinionated person too." "But she's got me beat by far." " Whoo!" " Okay, we're on to the next." "To the next." "It's getting hot up in here." "Okay, wait, wait!" "Excuse me." "Get back to this." "Let's get back to this." "Charles won political photographer of the year." "And the inauguration photograph" "Where obama's standing in the tunnel" "Before he comes out to be sworn in," "With his eyes closed." "That shot." "Cat was clearly" "Trying to shift all of the attention to her." "Charles' photographs" "Contributed to him being elected." "And it's-- and it's traditional" "For the president to come for the award." "And so obama doesn't turn up," "And bush was there to congratulate charles" "On numerous awards." "Which, I'm sorry," "I've been really impressed by you" "And all the hope you give america," "But, you know what, obama?" "You've just gone right down in my estimations, you know?" "Bush would always be there." "When she implied that bush was a better man than obama," "I damn near choked on my food." "Given that her husband works for obama," "I didn't think it was that smart." "Bush r.S.V.P.'d our wedding." "Wow." " Which..." " Really?" "Obama didn't r.S.V.P." " Heaven forbid." " I know." "Uh, he's running a country." " No, that's nice." " Yeah, I know, you know" " What do you think?" " What do you think, cat?" "Believe you me, I'm aware of all the mistakes he's made," "But I didn't talk to him about the war in iraq." "George was almost like a father figure to charles" "In lots of ways." "All of my experiences have been on a personal level." "As a gentleman, he's a class act." "Coming up next..." "George bush forced everyone to agree" "I like george bush." "You like tyra banks." "I am not fan." "We can agree to disagree." "As a gentleman, he's a class act." " I agree." " Oh!" "Come on." "Cat, I'm with you on that." "I'm not gonna get into it." "I know, we're not gonna get into it." "She, like I, respect george bush as a man." "You should judge your leaders by their policies," "Not by whether or not they r.S.V.P.'d to a wedding." "George bush forced everyone to agree" "I like george bush, you like tyra banks." "You know, it's okay." "Everyone was pretty surprised" "That I have such a high opinion of george bush." "But I don't really care." "There are some social etiquette rules" "Here in washington." "You try not to let politics get personal." "And cat is a straight shooter." "She says it like it is." "Cat started bashing obama and tyra banks." "And they all happen to be black." "And it was just a little bit off-putting." "Let's keep-- we just won't talk policy." "I agree." " I think people are different." "How are we getting on, chef?" "But as a policy, it's whack." "'cause I am gonna try that tuna." "'cause it actually looks amazing." "She's just very brash," "And I find that borderline rude." "I am not a fan." "This season, on the real housewives of d.C..." "An rb superstar with a record coming out..." "Hook a bitch up." "Wow!" "We still got it." "We're still rolling." ""his smile was so delicious," "He made my body buckle."" "I'm definitely having a hot flash." "I can't believe this is your life." "It's actually called" "The penile volumetric measuring device." "Is this where the white guy leaves the conversation?" "That's an insult," "That I have an eating disorder." "Talk to me, if it's something about me." " Excuse me." " No, excuse me." "Oh, this gonna stir up some ." "Tareq and michaele are big ballers." "And they haven't been paying their bills." "Oh, my gosh, we're going to paris!" "The salahis are going to be hanging with the turners!" "Whoo!" "I was adopted." "I found my birth mother." "You found your mom?" "Oh, my god!" "Tareq, I know you're american," "But let's have some manners." "Let's love everybody." "Love is better than being bitchy towards everybody." "I'm really pleased that everyone else is faking it, 'cause I can't fake it." "Who..." "Cares?" "You just told a mother that her daughter" "Is potentially being accused of something" "That the f.B.I. Is involved in." "You better god damn believe it." "I don't know what the is going on." "Seriously, just chill." "'scuse me?" "I'm very angry with him." "We snuck in and had no tickets." "You snuck in" "To the congressional black caucus dinner?" "We snuck in the side door." "Oh, no." "All of sudden," "Five or six secret service guys" "Come over, and they're like," ""you can't be here."" "This is a hush-hush party." "How lucky are you that you got invited?" "You're going to to the white house tonight?" "Yes!" "This couple is being investigated." "They told me that there's no hugging." "That's so hard for me." "The constitution protects fools." "It's bonnie and clyde." "They're gonna go down together." "I got in it for better or worse." "I've stayed because I love tareq." "I've seen scandals galore." "But this one takes the cake." "I respectfully assert my right to remain silent."
