Charlie Wilson's War Page #4

What can I do for you?

You can intervene in the case

against the creche committee.

Intervene? How?

You appointed the judge.

I don't appoint judges.

I just made a recommendation

to the President.

Uh-huh.

I think you and I both

know what that means.

I cannot just call up a judge

and tell him what to do.

- Why?

- Well, 'cause it's against a shitload

of really good laws, Gary.

- Larry.

- Larry.

I got to go talk to this

guy out here for a second.

Will you excuse me?

By the way, I love Jesus Christ

and his mother Mary as much as anybody.

About 38 churches you could move

that creche to, everybody lives.

- Give me a call.

- Okay.

I love Chivas.

Jane, how are you?

You need a cup of coffee?

- Something to drink?

Anything like that?

Okay. Mmm-mmm.

- Jim.

- Congressman.

You see Lederer's AP story out of Kabul?

Yeah. We're reading this

story every day now.

You see Dan Rather last night?

Yeah. I did.

Tell me something. What is the

Defense Subcommittee's budget

for covert ops against the

Communists in Afghanistan?

- All in?

- All in.

It's 5 million.

Well, they can't shoot down

helicopters for $5 million, Jim.

Though they're trying to. Which

is more than I can say for us.

Get everybody together

for me, would you?

And double it.

Charlie Wilson's office.

Okay, I'm sorry, sir?

The covert ops budget. Double it.

Okay.

This ain't gonna be much longer, okay?

Here's what I'm gonna do, Larry.

Charlie Wilson's office.

Maybe in about 20 minutes.

He's just going into a meeting.

Sure.

My XO wrote in a report,

I was the best officer he

ever served at sea with,

and the worst officer he

ever served in port with.

You can look it up.

I must've graduated from Annapolis

with the second most

demerits of any midshipman

in the history of the Naval Academy.

Well, who had the most?

I want to sleep with him.

It's hotter here in D.C.

than in Nacogdoches,

so I hope you don't mind, I

took off a few of my clothes.

Well, I'm just gonna have

to live with that, Jane.

Just call me angel of the morning, angel

Just touch my cheek before you leave me

Come on over here. I'm gonna show

you the best view in the District.

You want some of this?

No, no, I got this.

I like both.

Well, it must be great being me.

I've heard it is.

Iwo Jima Memorial.

There's the Lincoln.

Washington. Now follow

it around to the right.

The Jefferson Memorial.

The Arlington Bridge.

And there's the Pentagon.

Oh, that's the Pentagon.

That's the Pentagon.

How about I show you the second

best view in the District?

Why, Jane, would you like...

Well, that was predictable.

Just give me one second.

- Hello?

- That was an extraordinary thing
