I'm here to provide facts
about Ella.
5
00:00:45,588 --> 00:00:47,673
But first, let me give you
what she would call

"full transparency."

00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:53,386
I've worked for her ever since
she finished law school,

00:16:46,422 --> 00:16:48,049
I-I can't let Olympia get away.
350
00:16:48,132 --> 00:16:52,595
I have never in my life felt
this way about any other woman.
351
00:16:53,387 --> 00:16:54,847
Jesus, Eddie!
352
00:16:54,931 --> 00:16:57,349
No-- I-I wasn't counting
your mother!
353
00:16:57,809 --> 00:17:00,144
She's in a completely
different category!
354
00:17:00,227 --> 00:17:01,813
- ELLA: He dyes his hair.
- I think they're plugs.
355
00:17:01,896 --> 00:17:03,522
It took me this long
to make him irrelevant.
356
00:17:03,606 --> 00:17:05,650
- You get how sorry I am, right?
- And he just walks in--
357
00:17:05,733 --> 00:17:06,943
I know. I know. I know.
358
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:08,903
Listen, we shouldn't even
discuss it.
359
00:17:08,986 --> 00:17:10,988
Let's just concentrate
on why you're here.
360
00:17:11,072 --> 00:17:12,073
What happened?
361
00:17:14,283 --> 00:17:16,202
Okay. (CLEARS THROAT)
Aunt Helen...
362
00:17:16,994 --> 00:17:19,288
Please try not to judge things
I tell you right away.
363
00:17:20,665 --> 00:17:23,751
Just listen till you hear
all of it. Okay?
364
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:25,920
I'll try.
365
00:17:27,546 --> 00:17:29,173
I made a promise to myself
366
00:17:29,256 --> 00:17:30,967
that I wasn't going to
let my marriage suffer
367
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:32,051
because of my job.
368
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:33,094
To a fault.
369
00:17:33,177 --> 00:17:34,011
To a fault.
370
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:35,805
I'm sorry.
371
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:37,223
I'm sorry. Go on.
372
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:41,769
And given that my work
never has a finish line,
373
00:17:41,853 --> 00:17:44,772
and I was coming home
exhausted every night...
374
00:17:44,856 --> 00:17:47,984
Anyway, there's a one-bedroom
guest apartment I discovered
375
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:51,278
under the Capitol dome,
just sitting there unused.
376
00:17:51,362 --> 00:17:55,074
So, there were times
during lunch, when...
377
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,244
Ryan and I
would meet there, and...
378
00:17:59,495 --> 00:18:01,330
you know,
we'd get to be alone and...
379
00:18:03,540 --> 00:18:04,834
Mmm.
380
00:18:07,128 --> 00:18:08,129
(WHISPERS) ...be together.
381
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:15,552
Sex!
382
00:18:15,637 --> 00:18:17,013
Sex every day?
383
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:19,098
- Not every day.
- Okay. Ella.
384
00:18:19,181 --> 00:18:20,349
- Ella. Ella.
- Uh. Yes?
385
00:18:20,432 --> 00:18:22,727
Maybe you're just trying
a little too hard
386
00:18:22,810 --> 00:18:24,436
to be responsible
for everything.
387
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:25,647
And who cares?
388
00:18:25,730 --> 00:18:29,150
Well, one of the security people
who was fired recently,
389
00:18:29,233 --> 00:18:32,069
and was somehow able to see
through closed doors,
390
00:18:32,153 --> 00:18:35,072
has told a reporter,
who has since contacted me
391
00:18:35,156 --> 00:18:40,119
and wants to leverage what
he knows for special access.
392
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,665
Sweetheart,
you can't get in trouble
393
00:18:43,748 --> 00:18:45,332
for having sex
with your husband.
394
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,376
- That's what I thought.
- You can't.
395
00:18:47,459 --> 00:18:50,212
Turns out, there is a...
very specific law--
396
00:18:50,296 --> 00:18:51,923
which I was unaware of,
397
00:18:52,006 --> 00:18:54,466
which precludes wrongful use
of government property.
398
00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:58,387
And if this comes out at
the same time as something else,
399
00:18:58,470 --> 00:19:00,306
which is imminent and
I can't even tell you about yet,
400
00:19:00,389 --> 00:19:02,599
but will draw
extreme attention to me.
401
00:19:02,684 --> 00:19:05,269
So that-- (GASPS)
402
00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:07,939
Oh. Stop it. Stop it, Ella.
403
00:19:08,605 --> 00:19:10,191
(TRILLS)
404
00:19:10,274 --> 00:19:11,901
I suddenly sound pathetic
to myself.
405
00:19:11,984 --> 00:19:14,070
(SCOFFS) I just-- Scrap that.
406
00:19:14,528 --> 00:19:17,656
I, uh... I'm just gonna go back
to the office,
407
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,702
shut up, and hold
my own darn hand. (CHUCKLES)
408
00:19:20,785 --> 00:19:22,286
I let myself become rattled.
409
00:19:22,369 --> 00:19:24,496
That won't happen again.
Sorry, Aunt Helen.
410
00:19:24,580 --> 00:19:26,916
Wow, that was interesting.
I love you.
411
00:19:27,458 --> 00:19:28,625
(SIGHS)
412
00:19:30,878 --> 00:19:33,339
- Ella, wait.
- Yeah?
413
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:37,844
I'm worried about you.
414
00:19:38,761 --> 00:19:40,221
(SIGHS) I'm fine.
415
00:19:40,972 --> 00:19:42,431
Save it for Casey.
416
00:19:42,514 --> 00:19:45,392
He's gone silent on me again,
and I'm-- I'm worried about him.
417
00:19:45,810 --> 00:19:46,769
You know your brother.
418
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:49,355
He's just doing his
"leave me alone" thing.
419
00:19:50,522 --> 00:19:51,357
(SCOFFS)
420
00:19:52,233 --> 00:19:53,275
(KISSES)
421
00:19:54,693 --> 00:19:55,694
ELLA: Okay.
422
00:20:02,576 --> 00:20:05,788
You promised to take it slow.
423
00:20:05,872 --> 00:20:08,457
Eddie, I forgot what it's like
dealing with you.
424
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:10,001
You blew it!
425
00:20:10,084 --> 00:20:11,919
I'm really angry. Go!
426
00:20:12,378 --> 00:20:16,090
First of all, I have never been
less full of shit!
427
00:20:16,173 --> 00:20:17,091
And...
428
00:20:17,341 --> 00:20:18,175
uh...
429
00:20:18,467 --> 00:20:19,426
...maybe she blew it.
430
00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:20,928
Olympia says it's a given
431
00:20:21,012 --> 00:20:23,639
that Ella would be much
better off once she forgives me.
432
00:20:23,722 --> 00:20:25,850
Oh, you know what?
Tell Olympia that forgiving you
433
00:20:25,933 --> 00:20:28,185
requires you stop messing up
434
00:20:28,269 --> 00:20:29,812
long enough
for people to catch up.
435
00:20:29,896 --> 00:20:33,107
What is it gonna take to get
people to realize I've changed?
436
00:20:33,399 --> 00:20:34,776
Castration.
437
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:37,569
- Too far.
- (SCOFFS) Not even close.
438
00:20:43,284 --> 00:20:47,704
(PHONE BEEPS, RING TONE)
439
00:20:48,330 --> 00:20:50,082
(BEEPS)
440
00:20:50,166 --> 00:20:52,835
ELLA: Case, it's...
it's me again.
441
00:20:53,669 --> 00:20:55,504
Hi.
(CHUCKLES) Um...
442
00:20:56,005 --> 00:20:58,382
No pressure, but, just...
443
00:20:59,383 --> 00:21:02,219
Just let me know how you are.
Thanks.
444
00:21:02,970 --> 00:21:05,222
- (BEEPS)
- (SIGHS)
445
00:21:05,306 --> 00:21:07,099
(SIGHS)
446
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:09,685
NASH: Ma'am?
447
00:21:11,938 --> 00:21:13,022
It's just...
448
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:14,941
Families, huh? Hmm.
449
00:21:15,024 --> 00:21:16,901
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah. Absolutely.
450
00:21:17,484 --> 00:21:18,319
What?
451
00:21:20,779 --> 00:21:21,906
Oh, um...
452
00:21:21,989 --> 00:21:23,866
My mother, you know,
she, um...
453
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:25,534
She's-- What's the word?
454
00:21:27,078 --> 00:21:28,370
Dotes. She dotes on--
455
00:21:28,454 --> 00:21:30,622
I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
456
00:21:30,706 --> 00:21:31,916
Do you mind repeating that?
457
00:21:32,541 --> 00:21:36,212
Um, my mom, she...
she dotes on me, you know?
458
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:37,254
- ELLA: Uh-huh.
- Like big time.
459
00:21:37,338 --> 00:21:38,714
- ELLA: Uh-huh.
- Like I'm the golden child.
460
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:40,591
So, she visited me
a little while ago.
461
00:21:40,674 --> 00:21:42,343
And the motel she's at
has a pool.
462
00:21:42,426 --> 00:21:44,220
- Uh-huh.
- So, I went to pick her up,
463
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:47,598
and she's floating in this,
like... floaty-bubble chair?
464
00:21:47,681 --> 00:21:49,516
- Oh, yes. Nice.
- In the pool, you know?
465
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,310
And, uh, she sees me...
466
00:21:51,393 --> 00:21:54,188
Immediately gets up to
let me sit. Muscle memory.
467
00:21:54,271 --> 00:21:56,523
- ELLA: Not true.
- I swear. Big splash.
468
00:21:56,607 --> 00:21:58,484
- That can't be true.
- I swear. And I love my mom.
469
00:21:58,567 --> 00:22:00,361
- But the scream she made?
- (LAUGHS)
470
00:22:00,444 --> 00:22:03,114
It was the funniest sound
I've ever heard in my life.
471
00:22:03,197 --> 00:22:05,032
- I can ima--
- It was like... (GROANS) Like...
472
00:22:05,116 --> 00:22:06,367
(BOTH LAUGHING)
473
00:22:06,450 --> 00:22:08,535
(GROANS, LAUGHS)
474
00:22:08,827 --> 00:22:10,412
Immediate family legend.
475
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:13,249
(BOTH LAUGH)
476
00:22:16,668 --> 00:22:17,503
ESTELLE: Oh, good.
477
00:22:18,004 --> 00:22:19,838
Bill's in there
just waiting for you.
478
00:22:19,922 --> 00:22:22,633
He's not taking any calls.
He's just sitting there.
479
00:22:22,967 --> 00:22:24,760
- Quietly.
- (EXHALES)
480
00:22:25,219 --> 00:22:26,053
Okay.
481
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,305
BILL: Yes, come in. Come in.
482
00:22:28,389 --> 00:22:30,349
Hello. What's going on?
483
00:22:30,432 --> 00:22:32,226
It came through.
484
00:22:32,309 --> 00:22:33,435
I'm in the Cabinet!
485
00:22:34,228 --> 00:22:36,147
Wow! Wow. Wow.
486
00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:37,439
- Right?
- That's--
487
00:22:37,523 --> 00:22:40,401
I'm resigning immediately to
get ready for my confirmation.
488
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:43,445
So, for the next 14 months,
anyway, you're governor.
489
00:22:43,779 --> 00:22:45,614
- Congratulations.
- (WHIMPERS)
490
00:22:45,948 --> 00:22:48,450
And, uh, you really couldn't
have gotten this any other way.
491
00:22:49,326 --> 00:22:51,328
- Well...
- Oh, come on.
492
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:54,040
You couldn't do the bullshit
needed to fund a campaign.
493
00:22:54,665 --> 00:22:56,042
And I wouldn't have gotten
this appointment
494
00:22:56,125 --> 00:22:57,501
without your policies.
495
00:22:57,876 --> 00:22:59,336
So, look at us.
496
00:22:59,420 --> 00:23:00,963
What's more beautiful
than two people
497
00:23:01,047 --> 00:23:02,589
who owe each other everything?
498
00:23:03,424 --> 00:23:04,591
(CHUCKLES)
499
00:23:04,883 --> 00:23:05,717
Thank you, Ella.
500
00:23:06,718 --> 00:23:07,886
Thank you.
501
00:23:09,346 --> 00:23:11,933
Wait. Wait. Uh, sorry.
(CHUCKLES)
502
00:23:12,016 --> 00:23:13,600
Uh, before you go,
you promised to get us
503
00:23:13,684 --> 00:23:15,436
those three additional votes
for the Mom's Bill.
504
00:23:15,894 --> 00:23:17,854
Swore. Your word, not mine.
505
00:23:18,897 --> 00:23:21,025
This is the big one,
the Healthy Start program
506
00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:23,194
that gives expectant mothers
prenatal counseling
507
00:23:23,277 --> 00:23:25,321
at a time when
depression and anxiety
508
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:27,198
are really common. And...
509
00:23:28,157 --> 00:23:29,158
Bill?
510
00:23:29,241 --> 00:23:30,617
It also includes home visits
to monitor
511
00:23:30,701 --> 00:23:32,328
one-to-three-year-olds'
well-being.
512
00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:33,704
Everybody's research shows that
513
00:23:33,787 --> 00:23:35,414
that period of life
is the most crucial--
514
00:23:35,497 --> 00:23:36,790
Which in turn,
relieves court calendars--
515
00:23:36,873 --> 00:23:39,460
Ella! You have
to let go of this.
516
00:23:39,543 --> 00:23:42,504
There's nothing I've worked
harder on for the last year.
517
00:23:42,588 --> 00:23:44,756
It simply and substantially
increases
518
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,258
these kids' chance
at a better life.
519
00:23:46,342 --> 00:23:47,969
I am not breaking my back
520
00:23:48,052 --> 00:23:50,179
over a controversial bill
as I'm walking away.
521
00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:52,389
No, no. Just breaking
your promise.

It's just, uh...
1213
00:53:57,818 --> 00:54:00,612
It's complicated when you come
from our background,
1214
00:54:00,695 --> 00:54:03,573
and you're with someone from
a normal family, isn't it, Case?
1215
00:54:04,074 --> 00:54:06,827
Yeah, personally, I've decided
to stop trying to be normal.
1216
00:54:06,911 --> 00:54:08,328
And pick something easier.
1217
00:54:08,412 --> 00:54:11,874
(LAUGHS) Oh, Case... I love you.
1218
00:54:12,707 --> 00:54:14,001
Can I, um...
1219
00:54:14,334 --> 00:54:17,129
I have just one more thing--
teeny, tiny thing to say.
1220
00:54:17,712 --> 00:54:18,964
If I may.
1221
00:54:21,466 --> 00:54:24,719
(WHISPERING) I've never said
this, even to myself. But...
1222
00:54:28,473 --> 00:54:33,478
I know exactly what needs
to be done in this new job.
1223
00:54:35,397 --> 00:54:37,566
And, Lord help me,
I think I can do it.
1224
00:54:38,775 --> 00:54:41,946
I can make people's
lives better.
1225
00:54:43,322 --> 00:54:44,907
Even more than my predecessor.
1226
00:54:44,990 --> 00:54:47,617
Who is an adorable person,
and everybody loves him.
1227
00:54:47,701 --> 00:54:51,038
But... he doesn't
love them back, not really.
1228
00:54:51,121 --> 00:54:52,747
(LOUDER) Not enough
to fight the tough ones.
1229
00:54:52,832 --> 00:54:57,086
And sure, I'll never be able
to generate that kind of...
1230
00:54:58,378 --> 00:54:59,546
"Stop the world!"
1231
00:54:59,629 --> 00:55:01,673
"Hi, Nellie, how are the kids?
Doing good?
1232
00:55:01,756 --> 00:55:03,133
Which one? The boy or the gi--"
1233
00:55:03,217 --> 00:55:04,676
I don't have
that kind of appeal, okay?
1234
00:55:04,759 --> 00:55:06,053
I don't have the chitchat.
1235
00:55:06,136 --> 00:55:08,763
And the big guns in the party
don't like me at all!
1236
00:55:08,848 --> 00:55:12,809
They don't value my ideas.
Or the work that goes into them!
1237
00:55:12,893 --> 00:55:15,855
And they actually resent
my energy, whatever that means!
1238
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,816
But I know exactly what needs
to be done in this new job.
1239
00:55:19,900 --> 00:55:23,070
Okay? We need to
attract new businesses.
1240
00:55:23,153 --> 00:55:26,823
And you can't do that with
substandard roads and ports,
1241
00:55:26,907 --> 00:55:30,369
and you can't do that unless
you jack-- maybe way up--
1242
00:55:30,452 --> 00:55:32,079
license and registration fees,
1243
00:55:32,162 --> 00:55:33,998
especially
for commercial vehicles.
1244
00:55:34,081 --> 00:55:36,583
And you have to not give
a hot hoot
1245
00:55:36,666 --> 00:55:38,002
what that does
to your poll numbers.
1246
00:55:38,085 --> 00:55:39,794
Because here's the catch:
1247
00:55:39,879 --> 00:55:42,756
You can't be popular
and fix anything!
1248
00:55:44,967 --> 00:55:47,511
(PANTING)
1249
00:55:47,594 --> 00:55:48,470
Would you like to hear about
1250
00:55:48,553 --> 00:55:49,638
my favorite community
health program?
1251
00:55:49,721 --> 00:55:52,391
- God, no.
- I found it buried in a footnote
1252
00:55:52,474 --> 00:55:54,935
to a bill in Vermont
or Nebraska.
1253
00:55:55,019 --> 00:55:56,979
It was one of those states
that nobody's mad at.
1254
00:55:57,062 --> 00:55:59,606
"The benefits of tooth tutors."
1255
00:55:59,982 --> 00:56:01,441
Say it, Case. Tooth tutors.
1256
00:56:01,525 --> 00:56:02,526
- No.
- It's fun to say.
1257
00:56:02,609 --> 00:56:03,652
- You should try it once.
- No. I'm not saying that.
1258
00:56:03,735 --> 00:56:05,362
- It's really fun to say.
- No, I don't wanna say that.
1259
00:56:05,445 --> 00:56:06,280
- Please?
- No.
1260
00:56:06,363 --> 00:56:07,531
- Tooth tutors. Tooth tutors!
- No, I'm not gonna say it.
1261
00:56:07,614 --> 00:56:08,865
- No, I'm not gonna say it.
- Tooth tutors.
1262
00:56:08,949 --> 00:56:10,284
- Tooth tutors!
- Thank you.
1263
00:56:10,367 --> 00:56:14,288
(EXHALES) You go to any
deeply rural county anywhere,
1264
00:56:14,371 --> 00:56:16,831
and kids' teeth
are in terrible shape
1265
00:56:16,916 --> 00:56:19,084
because of the massive amounts
of soda they drink.
1266
00:56:19,168 --> 00:56:21,378
And dentists
are virtually non-existent
1267
00:56:21,461 --> 00:56:22,837
because
there's no money to be had.
1268
00:56:22,922 --> 00:56:25,590
So they started
this cost-free program,
1269
00:56:25,674 --> 00:56:28,177
where local volunteers
go door-to-door,
1270
00:56:28,260 --> 00:56:30,512
giving out tooth care kits
provided free
1271
00:56:30,595 --> 00:56:32,014
by toothpaste companies.
1272
00:56:32,097 --> 00:56:34,766
So like Doctors Without Borders,
they show up, these dentists,
1273
00:56:34,849 --> 00:56:38,687
maybe three times a year,
and treat all comers for free!
1274
00:56:39,188 --> 00:56:41,773
No, no, don't get excited yet.
That's not the best part.
1275
00:56:41,856 --> 00:56:43,150
The best part is that
1276
00:56:43,233 --> 00:56:45,152
the social workers
reported that these kids,
1277
00:56:45,235 --> 00:56:47,279
who'd been previously
walking around close-mouthed
1278
00:56:47,362 --> 00:56:48,863
because of
how their teeth looked,
1279
00:56:48,948 --> 00:56:51,200
actually began to smile.
(CRYING)
1280
00:56:52,367 --> 00:56:53,285
And... (SNIFFLING)
1281
00:56:53,368 --> 00:56:55,495
It seems to be at least
partially responsible
1282
00:56:55,579 --> 00:56:57,622
for increased high school
graduation rate
1283
00:56:57,706 --> 00:57:00,000
and reduced misconduct
in the classroom.
1284
00:57:01,210 --> 00:57:03,212
(SNIFFLING)
Thanks for listening. I...
1285
00:57:04,713 --> 00:57:07,382
- Now you.
- Uh...
1286
00:57:14,139 --> 00:57:17,142
Casey, do you really
have to work,
1287
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:19,728
or are you just trying to avoid
talking about yourself?
1288
00:57:20,020 --> 00:57:22,356
Yeah. Yeah, I gotta work.
I gotta make deadlines, okay?
1289
00:57:22,439 --> 00:57:23,607
That's what I gotta do.
1290
00:57:23,690 --> 00:57:24,984
I know you got
a lot going on right now.
1291
00:57:25,067 --> 00:57:26,110
But, you know-- This is. I got--
1292
00:57:26,193 --> 00:57:27,736
You know, there's 2,100 people
1293
00:57:27,819 --> 00:57:28,820
paying me
$1,000 a year each,
1294
00:57:28,903 --> 00:57:29,989
and they're waiting
for this stuff,
1295
00:57:30,072 --> 00:57:31,740
and this is the first time
I've ever been late.
1296
00:57:31,823 --> 00:57:34,534
First time, and you come in here
doing all this stuff, and...
1297
00:57:34,618 --> 00:57:36,370
(STAMMERING)
...getting all emotional.
1298
00:57:36,453 --> 00:57:38,122
I can't be dealing
with that stuff.
1299
00:57:38,205 --> 00:57:40,040
I gotta make these deadlines.
1300
00:57:43,585 --> 00:57:45,754
You make
two million dollars a year?
1301
00:57:45,837 --> 00:57:47,214
Approximately, yeah.
1302
00:57:48,882 --> 00:57:50,967
I'm almost done, okay? Just...
1303
00:57:51,801 --> 00:57:52,927
Oh, wow.
1304
00:57:54,763 --> 00:57:56,015
And I'm not agoraphobic, okay?
1305
00:57:56,098 --> 00:57:59,101
I choose not to go outside.
That's by choice. Okay?
1306
00:57:59,184 --> 00:58:00,894
If I was agoraphobic, I wouldn't
be able to do this, would I?
1307
00:58:00,977 --> 00:58:02,021
- Watch this.
- Casey?
1308
00:58:02,104 --> 00:58:02,979
I'm gonna leave this door
right now.
1309
00:58:03,063 --> 00:58:04,814
- Pull it off its hinges, man.
- You don't have to do that!
1310
00:58:05,315 --> 00:58:07,192
- ELLA: Point made.
- A choice, see?
1311
00:58:07,276 --> 00:58:08,443
- Choice.
- Okay.
1312
00:58:08,527 --> 00:58:09,361
And my sociability,
1313
00:58:09,444 --> 00:58:10,279
- that's also fine.
- Okay.
1314
00:58:10,362 --> 00:58:11,405
How you doin', man?
1315
00:58:11,488 --> 00:58:12,656
Good to see you.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
1316
00:58:12,739 --> 00:58:14,033
How are you, bro?
Nice to see you.
1317
00:58:14,116 --> 00:58:16,285
You know what you wanna do?
You wanna take Detroit Lions.
1318
00:58:16,368 --> 00:58:18,745
Plus the points.
Oh, you'll make your bookie sob.
1319
00:58:18,828 --> 00:58:19,954

I can't show my face
1321
00:58:23,417 --> 00:58:25,294
until I'm absolutely
clear-headed here.
1322
00:58:27,003 --> 00:58:28,380
May I sleep here tonight?
1323
00:58:29,048 --> 00:58:30,507

1324
00:58:31,258 --> 00:58:33,093
- Yeah, sure.
- Thanks.
1325
00:58:33,177 --> 00:58:35,179
- (CASEY SIGHS)
- Wait.
1326
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:38,390
Have I made it clear
how glad I am to see you?
1327
00:58:38,807 --> 00:58:39,641
Yes.
1328
00:58:39,724 --> 00:58:41,685
Let's not
articulate everything, okay?
1329
00:58:42,018 --> 00:58:42,852
Okay.
1330
00:58:44,354 --> 00:58:47,441
Okay.
So what does that bring us to?
1331
00:58:49,401 --> 00:58:50,527
Oh, my God.
1332
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:52,654
That's double time.

1335
00:59:03,457 --> 00:59:05,542
You're okay that she's sorry
1336
00:59:05,625 --> 00:59:08,295
she forgot to mention you
in her speech
1337
00:59:08,378 --> 00:59:10,839
and that now she's going
to mention you.
1338
00:59:10,922 --> 00:59:12,466
Mm-hmm.
1339
00:59:12,549 --> 00:59:15,677
The first thing I did
when I got married
1340
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,805
was to make your father
a full partner...
1341
00:59:18,888 --> 00:59:20,765
- Mm.
- ...so he wouldn't resent me,
1342
00:59:21,225 --> 00:59:22,058
so he could be a--
1343
00:59:22,142 --> 00:59:23,059
I don't know what else
she can do.
1344
00:59:23,143 --> 00:59:25,187
She can do
anything she wants now.
1345
00:59:25,270 --> 00:59:27,772
Give you any title she wants.

that gets...
1350
00:59:40,410 --> 00:59:41,495
...mentioned.
1351
00:59:44,331 --> 00:59:46,541
Oh, yeah. You get it now.
1352
00:59:47,167 --> 00:59:48,585
Your mother's smart.
1353
00:59:49,836 --> 00:59:52,256
Now you gotta say whatever
it takes to get what you want
1354
00:59:52,339 --> 00:59:54,216
or live with nothing.

like your father?

Huh?
1358
01:00:03,475 --> 01:00:04,809

- Okay.

(ELLA LAUGHS)
1549
01:07:48,106 --> 01:07:49,023
I'll take it.

- (PHONE BEEPS)
- Hi, Estelle. Anything?
1551
01:07:53,527 --> 01:07:55,614
One of the news outlets
has started
1552
01:07:55,697 --> 01:07:57,490
to refer to you
in a peculiar way,
1553
01:07:57,573 --> 01:07:58,867
and it's catching on.
1554
01:07:58,950 --> 01:08:00,619
- Want to hear what it is?
- Sure.
1555
01:08:00,702 --> 01:08:01,995
"Little Miss Nooner."
1556
01:08:02,078 --> 01:08:03,997
Well, let's hope
that nickname doesn't stick.
1557
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,833
ESTELLE: But your approval
rating is up two percent.
1558
01:08:06,916 --> 01:08:07,917
Huh.
1559
01:08:08,752 --> 01:08:11,295
Well, let's, uh... Let's use it
while we can, shall we?
1560
01:08:11,379 --> 01:08:13,006
Have full staff
as soon as I get there.
1561
01:08:13,089 --> 01:08:15,549
It will be a long session,
and no phones inside.
1562
01:08:15,634 --> 01:08:16,801
- Okay. Okay.
- Bye.
1563
01:08:16,885 --> 01:08:18,177
- Bye.
- Hey, wait a minute.
1564
01:08:19,512 --> 01:08:21,681
- How are you, Estelle?
- You're kidding.
1565
01:08:21,765 --> 01:08:23,307
I think I'm peaking!
1566
01:08:23,391 --> 01:08:26,060
I'm better than I've ever been
in my life!
1567
01:08:26,144 --> 01:08:28,938
Though I may have to
spray for lobbyists.

have bombarded me

with gifts under
the ten-dollar limit.

01:08:34,027 --> 01:08:35,987
If you need
a refrigerator magnet
1571
01:08:36,070 --> 01:08:38,322
or a single rose, come to me.
1572
01:08:38,406 --> 01:08:39,741
Ella, this is fun.
1573
01:08:39,824 --> 01:08:41,075
Yeah, I feel some of that too.
1574
01:08:41,159 --> 01:08:42,911
I-I don't know that "fun"
would be my word.
1575
01:08:42,994 --> 01:08:45,204
- Ella, it's fun. It's fun.
- All right. Fine.

01:08:45,955 --> 01:08:47,540

01:08:55,799 --> 01:08:58,509
ESTELLE: Okay, Ella. Good luck.
1583
01:09:01,095 --> 01:09:02,471
Hi, it's Ella.
1584
01:09:02,555 --> 01:09:04,515
Uh, I said I'd see you.
Can we do it now?
1585
01:09:06,309 --> 01:09:07,894
Great. What's your address?

01:09:25,411 --> 01:09:27,496
Great that you're here. Come in.

- Uh...
- Governor, huh? (CHUCKLES)
1589
01:09:31,793 --> 01:09:33,627
I made you some, uh...
1590
01:09:33,712 --> 01:09:36,380
ELLA: Listen, Casey doesn't
leave his apartment as it is,
1591
01:09:36,464 --> 01:09:38,632
and those calls you're making
stress him out.
1592
01:09:39,383 --> 01:09:40,634
So cut it out.
1593
01:09:42,303 --> 01:09:43,596
That's what I came here to say.
1594
01:09:43,679 --> 01:09:48,267
Okay. I-I just need him and you
to do one thing for me.
1595
01:09:48,351 --> 01:09:50,812
Olympia's going to leave me

with my kids.

all of my...

specific remorses.

Hold on.

01:10:08,037 --> 01:10:10,414
I have my acknowledgements here.

What's up?

01:13:40,416 --> 01:13:42,001
You called a press conference.

01:13:42,085 --> 01:13:43,586
About our lives.
1663
01:13:44,545 --> 01:13:46,755
And you gave it
without running it by me.
1664
01:13:48,091 --> 01:13:49,175
(QUIETLY) Right.

1666

it was just so clear

that something
had to be done immediately.
1668
01:13:56,099 --> 01:13:58,017
But you're right. I should have
run it past you first.
1669
01:13:58,101 --> 01:13:59,435
Totally solid point. Okay?
1670
01:13:59,518 --> 01:14:01,187
And you decided to make me
sound like someone
1671
01:14:01,270 --> 01:14:03,814
who has nothing else to do
but bang my wife

to do for lunch.

- I swear...
- Yep. Got it.
1675
01:14:07,986 --> 01:14:08,819
That's not what I said.
1676
01:14:08,902 --> 01:14:10,696
All you needed to do
was check in with me.
1677
01:14:11,614 --> 01:14:13,782
And then all this crap
could have been avoided.
1678
01:14:13,866 --> 01:14:16,494
You and I need to talk at home.
1679
01:14:16,577 --> 01:14:17,996
Okay? This is not the place.
1680
01:14:18,079 --> 01:14:19,330
What, not in the throne room!

01:14:19,413 --> 01:14:20,456
- ELLA: This isn't the place.
- Heavens, no!
1682
01:14:20,539 --> 01:14:22,583
Do you have some goal
in mind here?
1683
01:14:22,666 --> 01:14:23,792
Some result you want?
1684
01:14:23,876 --> 01:14:27,005
Because if you do, I swear we
can't get there from here. Okay?
1685
01:14:27,088 --> 01:14:29,673
So for God's sake stop it,
and we'll talk later.
1686
01:14:30,591 --> 01:14:31,634
RYAN: No! Okay?
1687
01:14:31,717 --> 01:14:32,551
Ella?
1688
01:14:33,927 --> 01:14:36,389
This is all on you.
You know that?
1689
01:14:36,472 --> 01:14:37,765
If you had just trusted me
to handle it--
1690
01:14:37,848 --> 01:14:38,724
What did you do?
1691
01:14:38,807 --> 01:14:40,101
No, don't change the subject.
1692
01:14:40,184 --> 01:14:41,977
- What's the subject?
- The subject?
1693
01:14:42,061 --> 01:14:43,479
The subject is that
you fucked up.
1694
01:14:43,562 --> 01:14:45,023
Don't talk to me like that.
1695
01:14:45,106 --> 01:14:47,233
You want-- You wanna know
what the subject is?
1696
01:14:47,858 --> 01:14:50,278
The subject is that this
marriage isn't working for me.
1697
01:14:59,870 --> 01:15:00,996
You did something.
1698
01:15:02,331 --> 01:15:03,957
Right? And now you're worried
about what you did?
1699
01:15:04,042 --> 01:15:06,794
No. You're worried
about what I did,
1700
01:15:06,877 --> 01:15:08,629
which was to pay the guy
to kill the story
1701
01:15:08,712 --> 01:15:10,881
that you didn't want out there.
1702
01:15:10,964 --> 01:15:12,007
And it's not a bribe,
by the way.
1703
01:15:12,091 --> 01:15:13,301
I checked with a lawyer.
1704
01:15:13,384 --> 01:15:15,010
There is no law
against paying someone
1705
01:15:15,094 --> 01:15:16,304
not do a story.
1706
01:15:16,387 --> 01:15:17,596
You actually put money
in an envelope
1707
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:18,931
and handed it to him?
1708
01:15:19,014 --> 01:15:20,933
No, not money.
He wanted a check.
1709
01:15:21,016 --> 01:15:22,851
- You gave him a check?
- Yes.
1710
01:15:22,935 --> 01:15:24,437
And you didn't wonder
why he wanted a check?
1711
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,065
Yeah, because
it was 7,500, Ella.
1712
01:15:27,148 --> 01:15:29,692
And people don't want
to carry that much cash. Okay?
1713
01:15:29,775 --> 01:15:31,026
Why else would it be?
1714
01:15:32,070 --> 01:15:33,279

1717
01:15:42,580 --> 01:15:44,998
Okay, okay.
How about we talk about us?
1718
01:15:45,083 --> 01:15:46,667
Sure. The marriage

01:46:45,732 --> 01:46:48,194
which means that we have kept
a roof over the heads
2410
01:46:48,277 --> 01:46:51,530
of 9,080 families so far.
2411
01:46:51,613 --> 01:46:53,615
- So, congratulations!
- (CHEERS, APPLAUSE)
2412
01:46:53,950 --> 01:46:54,866
You did great.
2413
01:46:55,284 --> 01:46:56,368
Thank you.
2414
01:47:00,539 --> 01:47:01,873
ESTELLE (VO):
One last thought.
2415
01:47:02,624 --> 01:47:06,420
There is no opposite word
for "trauma."
2416
01:47:06,503 --> 01:47:10,466
But "hope" comes close.
