after the hearing. I think we can talk.

See you inside.

Yeah.

- Will you tell me what that was about?

- No time. We'd better get inside.

I told Mrs Santana we'd be out

of the apartment Monday morning.

- Did she rent it?

- I don't know. Why?

I'm staying, Tim.

I'm not going back to school.

- You're kidding?

- No. We're in the best school there is.

College of Ways and Means, DC.

- Let's go.

- Let's do it.

- Take 'em.

- Good shot!

- Are you sure it's OK?

- Yes, I was nodding off, too.

Dinner's not for an hour,

so we can walk...

Or just get a bite. No, I'm not hungry!

- I'm getting fat anyway.

- You are not!

- Maybe if we walked I'd be hungry.

- It's OK.

I'm sorry. You put this big night

together and I'm being a creep.

- What's the matter?

- We're about to be separated again.

And I'm thinking maybe

that's not such a bad thing.

- What?

- I don't know where it's going.

It's going fine. What is this?

Just because you say it's fine,

doesn't make it fine.

OK.

OK.

I'm listening.

Well...

Why are you so set on Justice?

Isn't there another track?

- Why be out of the loop?

- Ass-kiss your way to the middle?

That's not what it is.

My parents have a wonderful life in it.

- You're one of the best.

- You think the DOJ is for rejects?

No, I'm not saying that.

I don't want to spend my life

trying to get votes.

If you're happy with your programme,

fine. But it's not mine, or ours.

I can't say I'd be happy

being basically a cop's wife.

Not a cop, an attorney.

No one said anything about marriage.

I hate the way I sound,

but I have to say these things.

We have to think about them.

So, I'll call you when I'm in town next.

I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you.

Let's get out of here.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Wait for me, OK?

Yeah.

- I knew it was no before I could ask.

- Did she give you a reason?

My career plans aren't glamorous

enough. It seems like that matters.

- What will you do?

- Try and fall out of love with her.

She loves you. It's obvious.

If she loses you over some agenda,

then she doesn't deserve you.

- Am I right?

- Peter.

- Could I speak with you?

- Certainly, John.

- Hi, Tim.

- Hi.

- What's up?

- I just came from Steubens' office.

- Is he behaving himself?

- Maybe you want to talk in private.

Tim's my brother.

He's going to hear it anyway.

Here it is.

Don't you ever, ever go trying to make

some deal for the senator's office.

You want to play maverick,

take it somewhere else.

If you're staying,

you go through channels.

Got me?

- Got you.

- Good.

The campaign staff in Connecticut

is spread too thin. We need a hand.

Take the shuttle to New York,

then the train to New Haven.
