Even going back again, I don't see how|you could get it all in time.

Lawrence, I love you.|I really do.

But don't tell me|what I can't do.

Elections are won with television.

You don't need the press, endorsements.|You don't even need the truth.

You need money.

So... tell me.

How much is it gonna cost|to buy the network time I need?

- $50 million.|- $50 million.

Agent Walker has already|cost me that much.

We're gonna chat with him, the kind|of chat a man remembers for a lifetime.

Sure is a handsome devil, isn't he?

- He's not my type.|- What did you want to talk about?

What do you know|about him?

Capable of eating|his young.

He sure seemed interested|in you this afternoon.

He interests me.

Atwood named him.

- You're shittin' me.|- He's the one who sent him back.

- Why didn't he testify?|- McComb would go after his family.

He also said McComb|has half of the agency. I believe him.

He doesn't have me.

I said, he doesn't have me.

- Well, f*** you too.|- He's gonna close the agency.

Then no one can stop him|from going back.

- This one is mine.|- Not unless I say it is.

The son of a b*tch|is a presidential candidate.

If you haul him in, you better have|enough evidence to plug up the Potomac.

- You believe me.|- I always believe you...

but you're not always right.

Yeah.

Come over to the house for dinner.

Carol would love to see you.

Thanks. Some other time.

You're allowed to have a life.|I read it in a manual.

I'll tell you this:|If I cannot go back to save her...

this scumbag is not|going back to steal money.

Go home, Max.

If you won't come to mine,|go to yours.

By the way, when I said|McComb hasn't bought me...

you were supposed to say,|"I know that."

I know that.

System initialized.

Destination, please.

Home.

There are no new messages.

Television.

Play tape.

It's going to look like|this when I'm finished.

See? Very nice.

"Victorian Villa Deluxe Birdhouse."

This thing is gonna be bigger|than our house by the time I'm done.

Okay. Uh-huh.

- Want some help?|- Want some help?

Yeah. You can buy the birdseed.

Okay. Divide all these parts...

into groups to determine|their structural function.

- I should buy more videotapes.|- I should buy more videotapes.

Gotta be in the mood to do this.

- You were a second ago.|- You were a second ago.

I think that I should...

start with something|easier to put together.

Huh? Honey?

Maybe you should lay out|all the parts first, then...

- You know...|- I think I wanna try from memory.

Just find part "A"|and work from there.

The controversy...

over government-provided campaign funds|is in the news again.

The White Supremacist Party has|qualified for matching funds...
