"David, um, maybe you should, uh, bring Lynne up to speed... on where we are with Roger Stanton." "Mr. President?" "Lynne, I'm sorry." "Things have been happening too fast today." "Our problems are compounded by the possibility of a dissenting faction." "And you think that Roger might be a part of that?" "It's possible." "If you don't mind my asking, sir, what led you to this hypothesis?" "It troubles me to articulate this, Lynne, but the ambassador's helicopter accident solved a lot of Roger Stanton's issues." "Sir, those issues were shared by many others" "I'm so sorry to interrupt, uh, David, but there's something else that you probably don't know, Lynne, and that is that Roger Stanton has been having secret meetings... with the minority leader in the Senate," "and Eric Rayburn... has been in attendance." "Well, actually, Sherry, I am aware of those meetings." "They were trying to forge a bipartisan base in order to stop... questionable allocations that were being made by the Armed Services Committee." "And, sir, the only reason I did not brief you on this earlier... is because the vote is not for another two months." "But I have very detailed records if you would like to take a look at them." "This doesn't solve any of our problems today." "We've got to avert a disaster, and we can't do that if our own people are working against us." "Now, I need to know that Roger Stanton... is supporting this administration." "I'm already working alongside Roger." "Lynne, I'd like you to keep track of your conversations with him as well."
