- [on the telephone]
- Bradley Grist: Hi there. Bonnie? Uh, Bradley Grist here... from the elevator. Heh. You may not remember me, but I read your name tag on your briefcase. I know you're up here from Little Rock. I just want to give you a big, big Washington 'Howdy'. Thought we could take a little drive in the country tomorrow, put the Saab on cruise control, kinda let nature take its course. Oh, damn. I hate it when the message tape runs out.
- [he re-dials]
- Bradley Grist: Bonnie? Bradley. Drive, country, tomorrow, Saab, cruise-control, nature, love you as a person, want your body. Bye.
- Margaret Powers: Say, why don't you filibuster in the Senate today? That always puts you in a good mood.
- Sen. William Franklin Powers: That's a good idea. Y'know, I don't mean to brag, but Sam Nunn says that I can go on and on about nothing better than anybody in the Senate.
