- I can't reach Mr. Leffingwell, senator. | - All right, Bess.

- I'll take these calls down the line. | - Yes, sir.

Wouldn't you think he'd know | we'd know he's dodging us?

He might become the best | secretary of state we'll ever have.

Want me to make you one of these?

- Thanks just the same. | - It's good.

- Don't you wanna be secretary of state? | - Think I should want to?

- Big job. | - That's a fact.

- I think you ought to want it. | - Why?

Well, you know. All that trouble, | and war and stuff like that.

Maybe you could do something about it.

- I'd like to try. | - That's the way I'd figure it.

It's worth a try.

As you get to the top of the stairway, | look at the painting on the right.

This painting portrays one of the worst | conflicts of the Mexican War.

In this painting, it's interesting to note...

that Lieutenants Lee and Grant | fought side by side.

They were classmates at West Roint, | as you know.

The skylight came from Rhiladelphia. | It was placed there in 1859.

The medallions in the skylight | are hand-painted.

They were done by Gibson and Company | and placed there in 1859.

- Good morning, Max. | - Miss Harrison, Lady Maudulayne.

- Good morning, Maxwell. | - Max, this is Madame Barre.

Her husband is the new French ambassador.

- Welcome to the Senate, madame. | - Thank you.

- Good morning, Lady Maudulayne. | - Good morning.

- Good morning. | - Good morning.

Bob. How are you?

Good morning, Orrin. | Everything all right?

Bob, it's going around the Leffingwell | hearing might be set for tomorrow.

That's rushing things, isn't it?

As we need a secretary of state, | I wouldn't say it's rushing.

Senator Strickland, wouldn't you say | that's sudden?

Senator Munson's party is going to be | strongly divided on Leffingwell.

Perhaps the senator would push it through | before that division ruptures.

I wonder if the minority leader is qualified | to speak for the majority party.

On the right of that aisle is the minority, | and on the left is the majority.

All of those are left?

- Does America have so many leftists? | - Oh, no, darling. It's purely geographical.

I mean, they're all Republicans or Democrats. | No communists or anything of that sort.

They do have liberal types, | but they don't necessarily sit on the left...

conservatives don't necessarily | sit on the right.

Boys.

- Bill. | - Aaron, nice to see you.

That man, the one on the dais, | Harley Hudson.

He's the vice president | of the United States.

- He's very attractive. | - Yes, dear. Harley's very sweet.

He's from one of those | odd little states, isn't he?

He was governor of Delaware, you mean.
