And it’s looking like a landslide.
A venerable sea of red...
Karl locks eyes with a celebrating Frank, who mouths the word
‘Red!’ to his adversary. Karl responds with a finger.
INT. CAPITOL HILL OFFICE - WAITING ROOM - DECEMBER 1, 1984
A stark waiting room, egg-white other than the dark wood
chairs and massive American flag. Frank sits nervously,
wiping his hands on the pants of his rarely-worn suit. He
pulls evidence of the last time he donned it from his inner
pocket:
a PROGRAM from his brother’s wedding in October ‘82.INT. CAPITOL HILL OFFICE - PAYNE’S OFFICE - MINUTES LATER
Frank sits across from KEN PAYNE (50s, a doughy frog-man),
Coms Director for the Capitol Hill Internship Program.
PAYNE:
Excellent numbers, Mr. Corden.
FRANK:
Thank you sir. They’re actually
even better, I had a few deleted.
We don’t have to go into it.
PAYNE:
Frank-- May I call you Frank?
(before he can answer)
I’m going to. Frank, politics is a
noble profession.
FRANK:
The best.
PAYNE:
With your resume, you can do just
about anything. Why you picking us?
FRANK:
The whole ‘By the People’ thing.
It’s what makes our country
different. When someone votes for
you, you’re making them a promise. I
want to help keep it.
PAYNE:
Ah. One of those!
6.
Frank can’t tell if that’s a good thing.
FRANK:
Yup. Definitely.
PAYNE:
I’ve got an old friend over in the
Treasury. We go way back. At Yale,
we double-teamed this Chinese
prostitute. Two for one deal, if
you know what I mean!
He laughs as only old white dudes can. Frank tries to match
his ‘Hahs!’ and ‘Ho ho whoas!”
PAYNE (CONT’D)
Yessir! Married that woman. Gave me
three wonderful kids.
FRANK:
Oh, well that’s...that’s beautiful.
PAYNE:
I’ll make a call. I’m sure we can
get something for a Princeton Man.
FRANK:
I really appreciate it, Mr. Payne. I
spent so long knocking on doors and
getting people coffee, I started to
think that’s all I could do!
PAYNE:
Haha! Good!
INT. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY - THE NEXT WEEK
Frank carefully writes names on COFFEE CUPS with a sharpie.
Exactly mirroring the campaign office, Frank walks through
the hallways of the Treasury, handing out coffees to the busy
workers. He doesn’t do as much smiling this time.
INT. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY - DON’S OFFICE
Frank sets a cup on the desk of DON REGAN, Secretary of the
Treasury (57, long-faced, fatherly) who chats on the phone.
DON:
It’s the hand we’re dealt, Caspar,

DON (CONT'D)
(to Frank)
Sugar?
FRANK:
In there. I just wanted to say, Mr.
Regan, it’s a real honor-
