- 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.
