All right now gentleman,

bring me up to speed on your meeting

With hallswell's people this morning.

Senator, we're going to have to

move fast to gather the support we need.

Senator hallswell is determined

to reign all those regions in the mideast.

If we've learned anything in the

past 50 years, it is that every

Gun, locket and tank we sell

will eventually be used against us.

Screw Hallswell.

We have enough support to get by

him and the vice president has-

been making calls.

That is what I'm afraid of.

Son, you forgot my glass.

Excuse me.

Listen richard, you can think

whatever you want of this guy.

But just remember he's got

a lot of friends in this town.

Yeah, and most of them democrats.

That's funny.

Did you hear they're making a movie

about Dan Quail's military career?

It's called full dinner jacket.

Senator?

Just a hot flash.

Are you okay?

Senator!

Jesus he is having a seizure.

Call the paramedics!

I know CPR.

Amazing, it is exactly what we need.

And you shall have it alright.

You shall have it.

Well, for the dog days,

it's another beautiful day-

- in the capital city.

It's hot.

And we've just been informed

that police have completely shut

Down all lanes on the Whitehurst

Freeway between Pennsylvania and-

- the 3rd street exit.

We are told that it is

some sort of bomb scare.

Emergency vehicles are on the

scene and as you may imagine,

Traffic is already backed

up all the way to Virginia.

This is WNLC and

I'm Terry in the morning.

We'll keep you posted for

any further developments.

Am I going to?

Die?

Yes.

I mean today.

We've got one eccentric husband.

Do you believe this?

Have one little affair..

And this is what he does.

How does it look?

Your husband certainly

knows what he's doing.

Which color do you prefer?

Red or green?

What?

Red or green?

Green.

No, wait, wait, wait.

Red.

Too late it's green.

Oh god...

Gimme your gum quick.

Your gum!

I got an idea.

You're cheating on your husband.

Put on some underwear.

Nice job, Eddie.

Way to do Dan.

What you thought my becoming

a Fed would change anything?

I was hoping..

What's that?

You ever seen this?

What's this your lucky charm?

No...

I just like taping pictures to my chest.

Are you Danny O'Neil?

That's right, why?

Does this have something to

do with the edwards mcmahon

Sweepstakes or something?

It's a restraining order to

keep you away from your wife.

Have a nice day.

This is a secured area.

No one!

No one is allowed in here.

Sorry about this Dan.

There was a detonation at

a restaurant on Delaware.

They sent in a copter for you.

Oh man, love mondays.

Mobile captain 61 this is chopper 14.

We're bringing your man in.

You gut a place for us

to land over there, over?

Roger, this is 61.

We're at 5th and Delaware.

Land in front of the tracks, over.

I copy that over.

You got about 5 people with...

What's this wrapping ceraming.

Bone.

Have fun in there, Danny.

Fidelity Insurance strikes again.

Well, Danny O'Neill.

You guys are going to be

paying out big time on this one.

Tell me about it.

4 deaths and 15 injuries.

Maybe is was a gas leak?

Well if it was a gas leak,

somebody has serious gas

Problems.

Did you really try and throw

Traveres off the balcony at your house.

I couldn't get his fat ass over the rail.

I just want you to know how

sorry I am about you and your wife.

How come everybody knows about this?

I mean was this on CNN or something?

I know everything that goes on

in this town danny, you know that.

Really?

What about senator Wilkins?

The pink panties in the desk.

See ya.

You're bad.

Shane!

Will you get this horny

can of tuna away from me?

What can I say, Dan?

Madonna wants you.

Go!

I'm not doing it dan, I swear.

I don't know why she

reacts to you that way?

Well you must not be

treating her right.

Pick yourself up a can of

Wd40 and go to town with it.

James is looking for you.

Where is he?

Right behind you.

James, James.

Terrorist attack it looks like, huh?

Where's the device?

Can't find it.

Excuse me?

They say that senator Victor

had a seizure and then boom.

Boom?

You mean he spontaneously combusted?

You tell me.

Okay what do you know guys?

Nothing.

No metal, plastic or chemical residue.

C'mon what is this guys your

first day on the job, keep digging.

People don't just explode.

I mean if they did, I would have

heard about it a long time ago.

What do we got here?

Jesus.

Shane, look at this.

Looks like the fingers

have been blown right off.

Either that or he should fire is manicurist.

Terry, what I'm saying is that I support you.

I just want you to be happy.

And with dan, until recently

you were so unhappy.

This isn't about me.

I know.

I think senator Traveres is good for you.

You just seem happier with him.

Mom...

Frank and I are friends.

Hi honey, I'm home.

- Terry, I'll call the police if you want.

- No, mom

Hi mom.

Good to see you.

Listen, you're still my wife

and this is still my house.

Court orders, hmm?

And this is still my garbage pail.

Danny, I've been though this too

many times before and I'm sick-

- of getting hurt.

I'm always the one who gets hurt.

Listen, how about the one

that is seeing other people?

Frank Traveres is not the problem with us.

Mom, could you do something?

Thanks mom.

Frank and I work together.

We got to be friends.

I can't live with you anymore.

Not since...

C'mon say it for god's sake.

It was an accident.

Oh god..

Mandy?

Daddy, when are you going to be up?

In a minute, sweet pea.

Please, okay.

C'mon daddy, can we play?

Amanda, please just go to

your room, okay darling.

- Go to your room and I'll be there.

- Okay

Oh jesus christ no!

Don't' please breathe, please breathe.

How's the temperature?

76 degrees, perfect.

Dr. Bernard?

Oh Mikail.

How do you like your new job?

It's fine.

Good.

Mikail just heard it on the news.

Now you have the proof you

wanted so when do I get paid?

I've given you the formula

now I what about my money?

What money?

What do you mean?

Just kidding.

Patience Dr. Bernard, patience.

Yes, but you are not patient

when you wanted the formula.

You know you're absolutely right.

I'll tell you what,

I'll give you a check right now.

Do you have a pen?

Yes, of course, thank you.

I'll be out of your way soon.

Yes!

That fool was right, it is

completely undetectable.

With the power this formula can

give us, nothing will stand in-

- our way, nothing.

Sometimes I wonder.

What is it all for?

Really?

No...

And we'll set the press conference

for first thing tomorrow morning.

Yeah, I want something prepared.

Something um, something emotional.

Senator victor was a friend.

I can't believe this happened.

Remember emotion, feeling.

Yeah.

I think we both know

just how serious I am now.

Uh, senator Victor's wife,

just let me take this in private.

You got balls calling me here.

And you displayed yours when

you cut me out of $10 million.
