Oh, yeah?

Yeah? Touching yourself?

Sometimes I don't even know

which I like f***ing better,

your mouth or your c*nt.

I'll tear you up and

I'll come in every hole.

You're my b*tch.

Baby, I gotta go.

[inaudible dialog]

[birds chirping]

[Joseph] If there is

one area...

If there's one area in which

America is truly exceptional,

it's the advanced

sophistication of...

[whispering]

Sophistication...

of...

[exhales]

[beep]

[Cheryl over phone] Joe. Hello, dear.

It's Cheryl.

I wanted to let you know

I spoke to my VP of Creative

at the agency.

His name is Doug Park,

and he would be happy to

being you in to talk about

that in-house

Assistant Editor position.

I'll text his number to Joe.

Love to you both.

[beep]

[man speaking Spanish]

[disconnects]

F*** it.

[man over radio] United States

will continue to focus

on advancing

our interests in Syria.

We will continue our efforts to go

after ISIL, which poses a threat to us

and the international

community.

We will continue to

support a moderate opposition

that is essential for a

political resolution in Syria.

We will continue to be

the single largest...

[turns off radio]

[somber music playing]

[Joseph] The best...

and perhaps only argument

for American exceptionalism

is the sophistication of

its propaganda machinery.

This is not

the quaint tackiness

of "Dear Leader" North Korea,

or "Beloved Father"

Stalinist Russia.

This is propaganda

at its most

evolved.

The kind that convinces

its subjects

that it is anti-propaganda.

That it is in fact

reason.

The kind that makes you feel

not as if it was imposed

upon you, but rather

as if you chose it.

- Amazing spot, right?

- Yeah.

First time in the area?

[laughs]

Is it that obvious?

But, yeah. I, uh...

I'm just in Burbank for

a conference for a few days,

and I had...

an afternoon free, and...

I'm a sucker for

a good view.

Where are you from?

New Mexico.

- Albuquerque.

- Okay.

Some pretty good

views there.

Yeah.

You want me to take

one with you in it?

Sure. That'd be great.

If you don't mind.

No, of course not.

Oh. You know what? Here.

Take it with this.

I'm gonna email this

to my wife.

Make her jealous.

[chuckles]

Okay, that's good, but...

I think maybe

if you step

behind that rock,

I can get the city

in the background.

Okay, sure. Sure.

Okay.

Okay, good.

Hold right there.

Smile.

- Right.

- [camera shutter clicks]

Okay, good.

Take one more.

Oh, your eyes are closed

on this one.

Okay, last one.

- [camera shutter clicks]

- Okay.

That's a fancy gizmo

you got here.

Are you sure you don't want

me to take one with this?

[sinister music playing]

[man] No.

No, that's okay.

- No?

- No, no, thank you.

No.

No.

That's okay.

- [car pulls up]

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey.

- Oh. Uh...

- Don't forget this.

Yes, thank you.

If you're a sucker

for a good view,

the Griffith Park Observatory...

[man]

Griffith Park Observatory.

- A must see.

- Okay, thank you.

Yeah. Well, see you.

[car engine starts]

[sinister music continues]

[Pompeo]

Are all ARBs created equal?

[Hillary] Well,

there have been 19,

including the one that we

impaneled after Benghazi.

They've all been led

by distinguished Americans.

They've all been set up

in accordance with the...

So, I assume, in those respects,

they are created equal.

I accepted the recommendations

of the current ARB.

[Pompeo] My question is

if you agree with it?

[Hillary] I don't think that's a

relevant question, Congressman.

I think the question is,

I accepted their

recommendations,

and obviously their

recommendations were based on

their very thorough

investigation and analysis.

So, clearly I endorsed

the entire board's work.

[Pompeo] I'm asking...

I asked a simple...

a pretty simple yes-or-no

question, I guess.

And I'm happy to

let you expand,

and I'm happy

to bring breakfast in,

but when I ask

a yes-or-no question,

it'd sure be helpful

if we could get to the...

[dog whining]

There was

an ARB in 1998.

You said this before

in your testimony.

Two hundred folks

were killed.

[sinister music playing]

[camera shutter clicks]

[washing machine whirring]

[lock clattering]

[narrator on TV] 500 feet.

Dum dum, diddle dum dum

Duck

And cover

[narrator on TV] First you

have to know what happens

when an atomic bomb

explodes.

There is a bright flash,

brighter than the sun,

brighter than anything

you've ever seen.

It is such a big explosion

it can smash in buildings

and knock signboards over.

But if you duck and cover,

like Burt,

you'll be much safer.

[stops video]

[clears throat]

[singing]

Duck and cover

Obviously the idea

that ducking and covering

can protect you from

an atomic blast

is delightfully naive.

Burt the turtle

is toast,

and so are those

school children.

But throughout our history, hasn't

our notion of safety and control

always been

an equally thin illusion?

Because of

our military might

and our geographic insulation,

we have rarely seen war

on our doorstep.

Sheltered from the violence

that defines every day life

in most of the world,

we've allowed ourselves to be lulled

into a false sense of security

by phony reassurances,

even as our enemies multiply,

and our tools of destruction

take on God-like dimensions.

[eerie music playing]

[music turns sinister]

[pinball machine beeping]

See? I have it, too.

As sharp as

a tiger's tooth.

[elephant trumpets]

[sinister music playing]

[engine revving]

[rap music playing

over car radio]

[sinister music continues]

[woman] Get the f***

out of here!

Get the f***

out of here!

Hey, a**hole,

what the f*** you doing?

[panting]

There's a saying

Going on around this town

And I'm beginning

To think it's true

It's awfully hard

To love someone

When they don't

Care for you

I once had me

A sweetheart

Just as good as any

In this town

But now I'm

Sad and lonely

She done turned me down

I ain't got nobody

Nobody cares for me

That's why

I'm sad and lonely

Won't somebody

Take a chance with me?

[Joanne] Oh, guess what.

Dr. Bishop agreed to

give me a recommendation.

That's great, sweetie.

[Joanne] When did you

come to bed last night?

Uh, I don't know.

Not too late.

F***!

F***!

[exhales]

You never wake up

with me anymore.

Every morning this week,

you've been passed out

when my alarm goes off.

I miss you making

coffee for me.

You know I've been working.

You've been smoking.

I can smell it on you

when you come to bed.

Maybe one or two...

here and there.

It's a treat, you know, when

I get a lot of work done.

Okay, I'll stop.

All right?

I promise.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

[laughs] What?

Stop looking at me like that.

I'm fine.

I'm very happy for you

about Dr. Bishop.

[kisses]

[man singing] And every

race And every creed

Works with Y-O-U play...

[tap running]

[serene instrumental music

playing]

Joe?

Joe?

Joe, are you awake?
