- where I leave.

- [SUSETTE] Oh. Good. All right...

- Good. You gonna come by?

- [SUSETTE] No, I'll come over.

Risk it.

Oh, my God.

Now I have to go.

- I do... I like the red one.

- Yeah.

- It's just...

- Well, everything is half off.

Well, it's just

that one's a little

- out of my price range, so...

- How's that?

- Oh, that's nice.

- All right?

- Yeah.

- That's in excellent shape.

- Cushions are good.

- [SUSETTE] Oh, they're beautiful.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- And everything's a half off.

- [SUSETTE] Great.

- Even this?

- No, that's a million dollars.

Oh.

Oh, I'm... I...

- do you deliver?

- [TIM] Sure.

- And... oh, thank you.

- Yeah.

How much would that cost?

How about a meal?

Oh. I got...

it doesn't have

to be a big meal.

[SUSETTE]

Do you take checks?

[MUSIC PLAYS]

[GOVERNOR] No. No. Move

Jason to the morning.

[WOMAN ON PA] Mr. Governor,

I have Charlotte Wells...

- Just a sec.

- [WOMAN ON PA] ...on line one for you.

Is this the call

I've been waiting for?

[CHARLOTTE]

Well, it very well might be,

Mr. Governor.

Just one question.

Why the sudden interest

in my little town?

Well, I care deeply

about revitalizing

distressed communities.

Well, if you would allow me

to take a wild guess

- Are you in?

It's not gonna be easy

Something called

the New London

Development Corporation

is supposedly gonna rescue

our local economy.

[WOMAN ON RADIO] Yeah,

well, good luck with that.

[MAN ON RADIO] Yeah. We

Economic development

and social justice,

they go hand in hand.

And with this project,

well, we might actually

make New London hip.

[LAUGHTER]

Imagine a Fortune 500 company

in New London.

- Sante.

- [MAN] Cheers.

Thank you again for joining me

ce soir, Howard.

It's too bad your husband

couldn't join us.

[CHARLOTTE] Well, if you

weren't such a slave driver,

David might have been able to.

David tells me you have
