in a bathroom stall.
[Baines] We can do it,
we can be united!
[audience cheering]
We have people who want
to overthrow the government.
People who want to secede from the Union
because things haven't gone their way.
- Well, that's just not American.
- [audience members] No.
United we stand and divided...
we have failed.
Do you know how Bobby
Kennedy was assassinated?
It was in a kitchen.
A lot like this one.
A little nothing
changed history.
A lot can be
learned from that.
The United Party.
Sounds nice, doesn't it?
What do you want?
I want a job.
Sir.
- Look, I'm not asking you to...
- Shh, shh, shh.
[Baines] We're not determined
to tear down the machinery.
We believe that the
interests of the individual
should be left to the people
involved, not the government!
What if I told you
I won't give you a job?
Hmm? What do you do then?
I hand the drive over to you.
As a friend.
A friend of mine?
A friend of the party.
[audience cheering]
[Baines] We believe
in a free market,
but be prepared to act
when it fails,
or when it is abused.
I believe that we can be
against needless regulations
and yet not deny that our planet
is warming and we must act.
I believe that we can
be pro-business
and still not be held captive
by the vested interests
of billionaires
and corporations.
Welcome to the show,
Michael.
We can be united!
United Party!
[crowd] Baines! Baines! Baines!
Thank you.
Excuse me... Rob.
What'd you think
of the speech?
Very moving, sir,
very presidential.
Let's hope it goes as well
when we make it official, huh?
Of course you will.
I have good news,
Darcy's comin' home.
We'll have to throw a grand ol'
welcome home party for her, won't we?
Yes, we will.
Yes, we will.
Who is this?
Oh, uh, Senator,
this is Michael Lawson.
Fantastic!
Well, welcome aboard, Michael.
Thank you, sir.
You're a good-looking kid,
you know that?
[chuckles]
Thank you, sir.
Isn't he?
Isn't he, Judith?
Uh, isn't who what?
Darling,
I was just saying,
Michael Lawson here
is coming to work for us.
I said he was
a good-looking young man.
- Don't you think?
- Yes.
And that is so important
in a campaign.
I'm glad you're with us,
Thank you, sir.
Excuse me. Vonetta!
Senator Baines.
You were smart
with me today.
Keep it up.
I want that flash drive.
[Michael] At times,
life can be grand.
[blowing]
[exhales]
[indistinct]
[Michael] I had convinced myself
that what I was about to do
was the best thing
for both of us.
[hip-hop music playing, on
headphones] [man rapping]
Well, if it looks like a duck
and it quacks like a duck,
