Taxi Driver Page #6

BETSY:

Tom, come here a moment.

(he walks over)

I think this canvas report is about

ready to go out. Check it out with

Andy, and if he okays if, have a

copy made for the campaign

headquarters in every county.

(a beat)

And don't forget to add the new

photo releases.

TOM:

The senator's white paper is almost

ready, Bets. Should we wait for that?

BETSY:

Andy usually just sends those to

the national media. The local press

doesn't know what to do with a

position paper until UPI and AP

tell them anyway.

TOM:

I think we should try to get

maximum coverage for this new

mandatory welfare program. Push the

issues.

BETSY:

(as if instructing a child)

First push the man, then the issue.

Senator Palantine is first of all a

dynamic man, an intelligent,

interesting, fascinating man.

TOM:

You forgot "sexy".

BETSY:

No, I didn't forget "sexy".

TOM:

Just didn't get around to it, huh?

BETSY:

Oh, Tom, please.

14.

TOM:

Well, for Christsakes, you sound

like you're selling... I don't know

what... cars... not issues.

BETSY:

Have you ever wondered why CBS News

has the highest ratings?
