perhaps before the election is over.

What are you doin' out here?

Oh, it's the nausea.

I don't wanna keep vomiting

every time I see him.

Can't be good for his morale.

- Um, we're strugglin'.

- Mmm-hmm.

- Nothing's working.

- Nope.

- That's it?

- Hmm.

Because if you've got some

kind of trick up your sleeve,

now is the time to pull it out.

This actually kinda matters, Jane.

I mean, this country could go under.

We're talkin' about

people's lives, you know?

You don't think there's

something kinda odd about him?

Sort of checked out?

I think he's a client who's paying you

to be his strategist.

Oh, okay.

Do we have a problem?

Because if we do, you need to tell me.

If there's a problem, Ben,

I will tell you.

It is unacceptable

that our natural resources

continue to be looted

and exploited illegally.

This is something

I am determined to stop.

They cannot keep

stealing from us.

My priority is jobs,

which I believe is

the priority of all Bolivians.

Jobs, jobs, jobs.

Jobs building roads

and building schools,

which the Bolivian people

desperately need.

I'm sure that

my esteemed opponents

could argue all night long...

There she is.

Jane Bodine.

How are ya, honey?

- Pat.

- So, what are you doin' here?

I thought you retired

or gave up or somethin'.

No, not retired. Working.

Yeah. Okay.

- Here lending a hand.

- Mmm.

Nice.

You?

Same thing, yeah.

I'm just doin' a favor, you know?

Yeah, but I'll probably be

going home tomorrow,

so I won't stay around too long.

- No? Yeah, me either.

- Mmm-mmm.

- Probably gonna get outta here. Yeah.

- Mmm.

But you good otherwise?

- Couldn't be better. Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Enjoying this dog and pony show?

- I'm not one for crowds.

- People suck, don't they?

- Yeah, sometimes.

Yeah.

You look tired.

- You okay?

- I think so. I think I'm good. Why?

I don't know. You just look a little beat.

What do you think of Rivera?

- I don't speak Spanish.

- Yeah, me either.

- He looks good, though.

- Yeah.

Yeah. Presidential timber.

How about your horse?

Seems like a stuck-up

little a**hole to me.

Hmm? Hmm.

Anyway, enjoy yourself

as much as you possibly can.

- I will try.

- And, uh... Yeah.

- So maybe later, huh?

- Maybe.

- Yeah?

- Mmm-hmm.

You know what I mean, right?

I can only assume.

- Yeah, honey. Okay. Bye.

- Yeah.

F***!

F***. F***!

Oh, my God!

Well, you're kinda late.

I don't know if you've heard,

- but we've pretty much gone belly up.

- Don't touch me.

Are you guys drafting an apology?

- Yeah.

- Uh, yeah. I... I don't know.

Have any of you ever fought

against Mr. Candy?

No, I know his reputation.

He's one of the best.

Peter Straughan

Peter Straughan (born 1968) is a playwright and author, based in the north-east of England. He was writer-in-residence at Newcastle's Live Theatre Company. Whilst there, Live staged his plays, Bones and Noir. Both of these plays have displayed Straughan's talent for writing dark, twisted and witty stories. His first ambition was to be a professional musician and he achieved this while playing bass guitar with Newcastle-based band "The Honest Johns". He spent four years touring and recording with the band through the late 1980s and into the early 1990s before leaving to take up full-time education at Newcastle University. While Peter was a student he was also a member of the band Cactusman. Peter wrote the song "Killer", which appeared on the CD album North of London, a collection of music by North East bands released through Newcastle Arts. Straughan co-wrote the 2006 feature film, Mrs Ratcliffe's Revolution and adapted Toby Young's memoir How to Lose Friends & Alienate People. He is the writer of the 2009 film, The Men Who Stare at Goats, and co-writer of the 2011 film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Adapted Screenplay, a screenplay he wrote in collaboration with his late wife Bridget O'Connor. O'Connor died of cancer, aged 49, in 2010, before the film was released. They were awarded a BAFTA for Best Adapted Screenplay. more…
