- It's a long time to carry a grudge, Seab. | - Maybe for a young fellow like you.
In my table of time, it happened just | like yesterday. Good day, gentlemen.
Scares you, doesn't it? | All that 40 years in the Senate.
Good morning, Seab.
- I was just gonna call your office. | - On the run, Fred.
I know. We've all gotta hop for this one, | but we'll put Leffingwell over.
Boy, he is it, Bob. He's really it. | He's a great man, a great talent.
- I'm throwing my organization behind this. | - You got an organization?
Are you kidding?
Eight chapters in eight cities, | my peace organization.
Who you making peace with? | The Kickapoo lndians?
You find peace amusing?
It's just that Stan's on the lndian Affairs | subcommittee, isn't it, Stan?
I'll be with you in a minute.
Fred, what do those guys do | besides strew roses in your path?
Just my brain trust.
You can't hold a senator's job | by kissing babies...
and shaking hands, you know. Bob...
The hearing will go | to a subcommittee, right?
I haven't any word from Tom August yet. | I don't know his plan.
Well, if it does... | I say, if it does, I don't wanna push...
Whoever's made subcommittee chair | should be pro-Leffingwell, right?
Possibly.
Well, I've done my share of the hack work. | I ought to be in line for a spot like this.
Fred, right now I'm just trying | to get the situation in hand.
I know, but I wanted | to get my bid in early.
I've gotta fly to New York for the afternoon | and meet my eastern group.
- Suppose I call you later on? | - Yeah. Do that. Call me.
- Van Ackerman's looking for a horse to ride. | - He won't get it from me.
He won't care. | He doesn't belong here, Bob.
- You'll have to cut him off the vine. | - He'll fall off.
- Morning, Bess. | - Morning, senator. Your calls.
- First, see if you can get me Leffingwell. | - Yes, sir.
Sir, 219 telegrams so far.
- Most of them favorable to Leffingwell. | - Good.
- Good morning, senator. | - Morning.
- Leffingwell residence. | - Senator Munson calling Mr. Leffingwell.
Senator Munson? Wait a minute.
- Dad, it's Senator Munson on the phone. | - What?
The phone. It's Senator Munson.
- Tell him I've gone out. | - Why?
Because he'll want me to do things | that might obligate me.
Why do you want me to lie? If you're in, | you're in. If you're out, you're out.
Son, this is a Washington, D.C. | kind of lie.
That's when the other person knows you're | lying, and also knows you know he knows.
- Follow? | - No.
- Senator Munson will understand. | - Okay, if you say so.
He's not here. He went out.
- Do you know where I might reach him? | - No, ma'am.
- He didn't leave a forwarding address. | - Oh, I see. Well, thank you.
