with lines like that?

Well, it wouldn't

hurt you to try.

Then let me remind you...

Where's the kiss part?

Mmmmuh.

[WHISPERS] They might know.

Could I help you?

I certainly hope so.

I'm a journalist.

From New York.

I have it on good authority

that a certain young woman

of interest may be here

in your fair town.

And who might that be?

That's her right now.

Look!

If you're here for

some kind of tip,

you're barking up

the wrong tree.

It's not like I expect

something for nothing.

You thinking of bribing me?

Well consider it a donation.

I consider it a crime. Now get!

Okay, give me something now,

I'll keep the press out of your hair.

It's only a matter of time til

the ravens descend.

Go back to New York and tell

your friends

there's nothing to see here

in Washington.

There will be when I get

through with it.

Not a lunch fan, huh?

I'm off carbs for a

couple weeks.

These socks are amazing,

by the way.

Yeah, May made 'em.

Is May your girlfriend?

No, aunt.

She's the chief's wife.

She's practically my mom,

though.

Raised me since I was ten.

What happened to your parents?

It's none of your business.

Triple word score makes 45.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

"Zoetic"?

Zoetic. You know, animated.

Full of joie-de-vivre.

Poetic is a word. But this,

I don't know what this is.

Oh come on, don't embarrass

yourself.

Yeah, you probably cheat your

way through everything.

That is really not nice.

What do I get if I'm right?

I don't know what you could

possibly want.

There's no booze in the house.

How about a shooting lesson?

You can have whatever you

want because I know that I am...

A sucker?

Zoetic.

[SHOOTING SOUND]

Now you see the target?

Yep

What you're going to do is,

you're going to want

to extend your hands.

Keep the gun away from you,

but don't get stiff with it.

Okay, now, when you aim you

want to use your whole body.

Not just your wrists or the

barrel.

See the gun as an

extension of yourself.

Okay. Okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

Alright.

Okay.

Close...

[GUNSHOT]

Easy. Breaths

Here...

[GUNSHOT]

I got it.

Okay.

[GUNSHOT]

Yaaa, there you go!

[GUNSHOTS]

God, I love guns!

Well you said you

never shot before?

I never said that.

I'm going to put that

on my mantle.

I mean not that I have a mantle,

but one of these days, Dallas.

Your turn.

Beg your pardon.

Come on. Show me how it's done.

I'm afraid it's not much of a

challenge for me.

Alright.

How about now?

Come on, we should go in, huh?
