You know, I'm beginning to believe them.

Oh, say, Bob, Bob. Pardon me, excuse me just a minute.

- Hey, Bob Elliot. How are you?

- E.J.

It's really good to see you. You're looking wonderful.

Things are really piling up. I've got a lotto tell ya.

Say, uh, how about a game of golf? Tomorrow?

Sounds great, E.J.

- Mr. Elliot.

- Hi, Jean, how are you?

- And busy Mr. Farnsworth.

- You know Ms. Robertson?

Yes, yes indeed.

Yes, whenever I end up at one of these

receptions, you always seem to be there.

I'm beginning to think there are

two of you, Mr. Farnsworth.

There are really three of me, but who's counting?

One's enough.

Well, I wonder what could be

going on between the two of you?

You have a nasty, suspicious mind.

When the vice president of

international oil flies to London to

meet the adviser for the senate

committee, something's happening.

I was just speaking with an army general from red China.

I suppose that makes me a communist.

If there was something in it for you, Mr.

Farnsworth, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

- Oh, c'mon, c'mon.

- Excuse me.

I'll get a drink.

Well, that was subtle, Jean.

I don't like him. I don't like what he stands for.

I thought you news persons were supposed to be objective.

I don't like what he does to people.

Let me freshen your drink.

You must know what you're doing.

Getting involved with people like that.

You used to be such a nice guy.

- Ah, sh*t.

- Well.

Your game's improving.

Say, uh...

You ever hear of a...

Senator McCauley?

Oh, hell.

If you keep your left arm a little stiffer, I think...

I spend a fortune taking lessons from

a pro here. I don't need advice from you.

What about him?

You're nearly on the green.

Senator McCauley, what about him?

You got a real friend there, boy, let me tell you.

I never met the man.

He's got ten thousand reasons for liking you.

In cash.

I think I'll, uh..

Use a number five.

You probably should try a seven. You'll

knock it all the way over the Greenway.

- Who's making this shot? You or me?

- Do it. Do it, then.

You should've used a seven E.J.

You know, we're working hard for you, boy.

How would you like to be chairman of the

president's economic advisory committee?

Huh?

You know, our friends upstairs have put

out a lot of effort to get you this job.

It's what we've both been looking

forward to for some time.

You know...

Power is no damn good unless it comes from the top.

Of course, there's a few loose

ends that have to be tidied up.

Skeletons in closets that have to be buried.

By the way, this uh...

Little network you've put together here

in Europe. Is it big? How big is it?

No, no, no it's small.

Four people.
