Shadow Conspiracy Page #3

small differences between us.

That from here on out it will be...

...business as usual.

Yes. Bobby!

Next question.

I'm gonna buy that little prick a drink.

MAN:
Good evening. Robert.

Congressman Colbert.

Nice to see you.

Good to see you.

Yes. Senator Jones.

Good evening.

Good evening.

You have our support.

Did you get the bill passed?

We've got it done.

Hi, how are you'?

Oh. Oscar and Bertha!

WOMAN:
How are you'?

Always a pleasure. Good!

Boy. oh. boy.

you are some kinda big shot!

I could have sworn

it was just last week

you were stuffing envelopes

and licking stamps.

That was last week.

It was. wasn't it?

Mmm.

You gotta try some of this vodka

the Finns sent us.

It's fantastic.

Couple of good shots

and you're Eric the Great.

Eric the Great never made it to 60.

I. on the other hand.

am alive and going strong

simply because

I have always restricted myself

to slowly sipping old reliable.

And eating apple pie.

Mm-hm.

And making love like a missionary.

And sailing that yacht of yours

around the Chesapeake.

I tell you. Bobby.

when I'm out on that bay.

All the crap that we go through every day

just to try and keep this country

from going under washes off me.

And I look back at that shore

and my mind is clear -

crystal clear.

And I rediscover Virginia

the way it used to be.

God. that sounds like

Thomas Jefferson. doesn't it?

(Sighs) Ah. Jake.

We kicked some butt today.

You did. Bobby.

He who gets the first sound bite wins.

(Sighs) Bobby. Bobby. Bobby.

You've learned faster and better

than anyone I've ever seen

how to play the game around here.

I think I feel some more

fatherly advice coming on.

Well. then listen up. son.

The ritual. the manoeuvring -

that's all it is. It's just a game.

And your precious sound bites?

They're like a drug. They get you high.

You think you've achieved something.

but in reality.

It's nothing but shallow.

superficial. pointless manipulation.

I wrote a lot of that speech

he was gonna give. Jake.

I know.

Want my car to give you a lift?

No. I'll just walk. thanks.

Get yourself mugged.

Tell Saxon it takes one to know one.

(Laughs) Call me.

I will.

Mr Bishop. we meet twice in one day!

God must be punishing me.

Hello. Amanda.

This is Jergon.

Jergon. this is Bobby Bishop.

Gorgon, how are you'?

it's Jargon, pal.

Of course it is.

(Laughs awkwardly) Jergon. would you

please see if our table is ready?

I'm curious. Bishop. What do

you have on Congressman Page. hmm?

Is he...doing

his legislative director? What?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You and I both know that

that story was true.

Story? Perhaps you could enlighten me.
