Assassination Page #2

Like the color purple.

Hi.

Hi, are those pants

going on or coming off?

Going on.

Damn.

This needs help.

In the closet.

When did you take

the vow of poverty?

Meaning what?

How long have you been

calling this rattrap home?

For about 10 days.

Since my final decree.

You're finally divorced

from available Imogene?

- Yes.

- That makes my day.

And I hate that tie.

So, she got a bucket of alimony

and put you on welfare.

No, it didn't go like that.

When the judge heard she was

patriotically trying to service...

the entire United States Senate...

he even cut her off

from green stamps.

Then, why this dump?

She already looted our

joint bank account.

I've got a great idea.

Don't you ever give up?

Never.

You know what the rules are.

We don't mix business

with that other stuff.

"That other stuff"

he calls it, poor man.

It's getting late, and we're

going to be late. Get my jacket.

- You wanted to see us?

- Got a problem?

- You won't assign me back to the President.

- The President's at Camp David.

press conference, 1400, East Room.

It's an order.

Ladies and gentlemen of the press, meet

the first Lady of the United States.

Thank you.

Well, first of all, I'd like to thank the

press corps for the very warm reception.

I certainly hope the feeling lasts.

Yes, Claire.

About your dark glasses, everyone's

very curious about them since...

the rumor is that the President

gave you a little black eye.

The President wouldn't dare. He knows

I can take him two out of three falls.

Then who gave it to you?

A very klutzy bodyguard.

I mean, one more like him,

and I'd be safer in Cuba.

Is that why you missed all

those inaugural balls?

Claire, would you go out into the

world wearing this medal of honor?

Sally More, CBS.

Mrs. Craig, exactly what happened

with that explosion yesterday?

Was that an accident?

Maybe I'll let Mr. Killian

explain that to you.

Yes, it was an accident.

Tire blew out.

Then, it wasn't connected

with the First Lady.

No way whatsoever.

- Mrs. Craig.

- Mrs. Craig, please, Daily News over here.

Mrs. Craig, isn't it true

that you and the President...

haven't shared the same bed since

your arrival in Washington?

- Would you mind identifying yourself?

- Derek Finney, National Gazette.

Isn't it also true, Mrs. Craig,

that as a matter of fact...

you and the President haven't been

together since the convention?

Does the Gazette

qualify as the press?

I had the impression it was manufactured

strictly as wallpaper for local outhouses.

- Touch.

- Are you evading the question, Mrs. Craig?

No, Mr. Finney, just the

answer, because I know...
