The Ides of March Page #2
What l'm saying is
I'm not gonna promise you we'll win.
But he's a decorated of Bush Junior
from the first Gulf War,
he protested the second,
he left his state with a balanced
budget and the fourth-highest
education rate.
The Republicans, have no one out there
that can touch this guy.
For this moment, this election,
this primary, is the presidential.
And that, Ida,
is the state of the union.
And on that note...
I'm gonna take a sh*t.
- So, Stephen.
- So, Ida.
- Stephen, Stephen, Stephen.
- Ida, Ida, lda.
- Paul's going to the airport.
- Yeah.
- He's getting on a plane.
- That's what you do going at airport, yeah.
Where's that plane going?
Okay.
- I'll give you three guesses.
- He's not going back to headquarters.
- Correct.
- He's not going to Texas.
No need. We're gonna split Texas.
So it's a wash.
What if I said North Carolina?
- Is that your guess?
- He's going to North Carolina.
- I can neither confirm nor deny that.
- I knew it. Now tell me why.
- I cannot do that.
- Ugh. I hate you.
- You love me.
- I love Paul. You, I hate.
You love him
because he gives you the scoops.
- Sexual favors.
- You're engaged.
If it meant a good scoop,
You really buy into
all this crap.
All this "take back the country"
nonsense.
Ida, I'm not naive, okay?
I've worked on more campaigns
than most people have
by the time they're 40.
I'm telling you, this is the one.
- You really have drunk the Kool-Aid.
- I have drunk it. It's delicious.
Look, l don't care if he happens
to be leading in the polls
and I don't care if he happens
to have all the right tools.
The truth is, he's the only one
difference in the people's lives.
Even the people that hate him.
If Mike Morris is president,
it says more about us
than it does about him.
I don't give a f***, if he can win.
He has to win.
Or what? What?
The world's gonna fall apart?
It won't matter, not one bit,
to the everyday lives
or the everyday f***ers
who get up, and work,
and eat, and sleep,
go back to work again.
You know, if your boy wins,
you get a job in the White House.
He loses, you're back at a
consulting firm on the K Street.
That's it.
You used to know that
before you got all goosebumpy
about this guy.
Mike Morris is a politician.
He's a nice guy.
They're all nice guys.
He will let you down,
sooner or later.
'Scuse me
While I
Disappear
- This is off-off-off the record.
- What?
- Franklin Thompson.
- Seriously?
Off the record. The only people who know
are the governor, Stephen and me.
My lips are sealed.
Tomorrow l have a meeting
at Thompson's house.
