The Runner Page #2
That was true 100 years ago
and it will be true in another 100 years.
The spill was a tragedy,
but it is in everyone's best interest
to keep American oil healthy.
My husband isn't doubting how reliant
our local economy is on industry.
My fund runs a diversified
energy portfolio
with an emphasis on Gulf producers.
I know you've leaned left
on energy in the past,
but I'm looking to back a horse
that will support our interests.
You can find a lot
of politicians around here
align with yours.
- Why me?
- You're a winner.
People are talking about you, Congressman.
Even in my world.
Well, then, you should know
I don't pander to campaign financing.
Well, you won't win the Senate seat
unless you reconsider.
I'm sorry, I was under the impression
this was a lobby meeting.
We haven't decided
if we're going to run for Senate.
Colin, just hear him out.
We are in the middle of a recession.
This election is going
to be about the economy.
And a moratorium will be
more devastating than the spill itself.
Mark, I don't think
you quite understand,
I'm not just advocating
for a temporary moratorium.
I think we ought
to phase out drilling altogether.
- Colin.
- Oil is an addiction.
And right now it's going to be pretty damn
tricky to deny how harmful it is,
how antiquated it is.
We need to develop
a sustainable infrastructure.
Mark, you're a man with foresight.
You know green is how
Am I hearing what I think I'm hearing?
I'm sorry.
We've wasted your time.
You're not going to win.
We'll see.
It's not smart.
You told him we're planning to run
before we've announced.
You humiliated me.
Do you have any idea how much business
my firm does with that man?
I didn't ask you to do that.
I won't be beholden
That speech was a godsend.
Don't blow it.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
See you at home.
Frank told me you've been
calling the office.
Why would you do that?
What were you thinking, Lucy?
I'm sorry.
He came home drunk last night talking
all sorts of sh*t, and I don't know.
But don't worry,
he ain't going to say nothing.
I think you've had enough.
Don't you think
you've f***ing had enough?
- No.
- I do.
Okay, I'm sorry, Lucy, okay?
I'm sorry.
I miss you, Colin.
Please.
Just sit with me.
Just for a minute. Please.
Tell it like it is, Pryce!
- You've got my vote.
- All right, brother.
You need to get ready.
Car is picking us up in 15 minutes.
The Parish School Board fundraiser.
Sit with me for a minute.
Just one minute,
and I promise I'll cooperate.
Since when did we start
