to back me on this.

It's... it's fair, it's decent,

and it is right.

[Applause]

You don't have to do that.

You're an aide,

not a waitress.

It's my pleasure.

And can I ask you something?

Of course.

How much of that story

you just told is true?

Helena.

100%.

Really?

Come here.

Room 1600?

You're Tawny?

To the rescue.

1600?

Down the hall

to your left.

Hey, could you be

a bit more obvious?

I thought

he was getting a masseuse,

not some starlet

playing a masseuse.

Hey, she and her company

were vetted.

- She had the recs.

- Yeah.

She has the killer bod.

That's the only rec that counts.

You know, come to think of it,

my back feels stiff too.

Yeah, that's not

the only thing, you jerk.

Nice.

In Kentucky,

we're going to the mattresses.

I've got some ideas

on the statement.

Well, they better be good,

'cause if he goes down,

it's gonna be

a four-day school week there.

Minimum wage will drop

to 75 an hour.

You'll be able to light

the Kentucky rivers on fire.

[Chuckles]

How late are we?

Real time or Paul time?

Exactly on time.

How do you know this person?

She's my law school

roommate's sister.

But the object is

to get in, get out,

and get back

to the Kentucky mess.

Max!

Julia!

Yes?

Get me Paul.

Get him now.

Senator, let's just

go through this bit-by-bit.

What are we

talking about here?

She's claiming

that we did it.

Well, did what?

A happy ending, or...

More.

I'm sure she thinks

it'll get her a bigger check.

Look, man, I am dying

because of your photo op,

and now I'm dying because

of this f***ing psycho.

And what kind

of masseuse is this,

like a masseuse masseuse

or an escort?

Julia got her from

the Speaker of the Assembly!

We're in room five.

Okay, how many people

know about this?

Just us.

Come on, man.

This is...

This could be a career killer.

Okay, I need 15 minutes here...

make it 10...

and I am on this.

Look out the door:

Malnourished children,

AIDS rampant,

people looking for decent jobs

or any job,

for that matter,

victims of an education system

horribly broken,

and hope, something in

extremely short supply.

I completely agree,

and I can only imagine

what it's like

to try to run this

every year.

And next year, you're gonna have

even less money for this clinic.

So in terms of fund-raising,

I think I should

put you in touch

with some deep-pocket guys

in Woodside,

Pacific Heights,

internet do-gooder...

I want to run for governor.

[Stammers]

Excuse me?

I want to run for governor.

[Laughs]

Well, I guess that's one way

to solve your problem.

Okay, do you mind

if I ask you why?

For 9 years,

I have worked 12,

14 hours a day here,
