Doesn't make a difference,

does it?

That's not the point.

It's just

basic human engineering.

Fighting that really

make you a better person?

The world doesn't work

the way it does when you're 19.

You'll see.

Oh, whatever.

Rules are just rules

someone made up.

None of my clients are 19.

And most of them are married.

If that makes

you feel any better.

I didn't say I was married.

Sorry.

I talk too much.

Don't get mad, okay.

I just don't see

why pretending you're someone

you're not makes you any better.

That's all.

Sure you're okay doing this?

I mean, come on.

Isn't there something

better out there for you?

Did you have a favorite subject

in school?

I like what I do.

And I like you.

You want to see me again?

I never see the same girl twice.

Oh, poor Bob.

It's okay to come out and play.

We knew Sam

was destined for politics,

but I always thought

Jeannie would end up

being the prosecutor.

Really? Me? Wow.

You're the one

with the background.

You could jump back in any time

you wanted.

Probably.

I just didn't realize

I'd miss James so much

being in the office all day.

Your charity work

will look better

on a first lady's rsum.

Oh, God.

No pressure, Sam.

Who wants dessert?

Sam.

Come in.

Pollan's calling a

press conference for next week.

Thought you said we had a year.

It doesn't matter

what I thought.

I couldn't hold him off

any longer.

Well, what about Stiegel?

Am I supposed to drop the case

in somebody else's lap?

Pollan's got cancer.

And It's getting worse.

I'm... I'm sorry about that.

Look, Sam, I-I know

you wanted to try that case,

and I respect you for that,

and I know

that Kirkland's probably gonna

but this field is gonna

get real crowded real fast

once the news gets out.

This is game time.

You announce, Coaker

writes his piece,

you're the man to beat.

Okay.

"Okay"? Is your head in this?

Just took me by surprise,

that's all.

Well, this is the perfect time

to get used to surprises.

You ought to get yourself

some bigger nuts.

You got one week.

Executive privilege.

Yes, hello. This is Bob fisher.

I need to cancel

all my upcoming appointments.

Things are a bit crazed

right now.

Oh, that's too bad, Bob.

I have a note here from clio

to tell you that she's in town.

Just for three days, though.

She knows you've been inquiring,

and she's willing to meet.

Clio?

Her schedule's almost

full, but she's free Tuesday.

No, that's fine. Thank you.

Constantino is running for sure.

There's no way that's happening.

Please give

me another viable name.

Bradford.

Bradford? Mm-hmm.

I like your pictures. Noted.

She's got charisma,

but she doesn't have money.

She doesn't have donors.

Constantino's gonna

top our million in commitments

by the end of this week.

Constantino.

Running or not running?

He'll run If I don't.

Oh, I like the balls

on this guy.

This is what I like.

This is what we're selling.

Confidence, hope, optimism

versus a three-time loser.

Success versus failure,

all right?

Versus corruption, actually.

- Ideas?

- E.J.'S right, guys.

I just think we need a platform

before we want to start

getting the message out.

I want to have the announcement

on a college campus.

I want him surrounded

by people under 30.

I want him swimming in people

under 30, you understand?

Hello?

Hi, is this Bob?

Uh, yes.

Hey, It's Laci.

I'm... I'm sorry

to call you directly,

but I might be changing

agencies,

and I just

wanted you to have my number.

Can you talk?

Uh... Not exactly.

I-I just wanted you to know

how much I enjoyed

the other day.

And it'd be great

to see you again.

Uh...

Okay, well, I-I have it now.

Yeah.

Sorry again.

I hope I'll see you soon.

Okay.

Okay, bye.

What phone was that?

Uh, FBI phone.

They heard something

on the wire, needed advice.

I'll see you tonight, okay?

Of course.

They're kind of overpriced.

That's the point.

It's my treat.

Isn't my wife a knockout?

Yeah, very flattering.

She gets self-conscious.

I understand.

A lot of women do.

- Where are you from?

- Brazil

Brazil? Well, never been.

I think you would like it.

Probably would.

What's your name?

- Tora.

- Ah. Sam.

Do you think

they're too young for me?

Not at all. They're stunning.

We'll take them.

You didn't miss

anything at the conference.

Your son is a model student.

Good.

I'm sorry, sir,

but your card was declined.

It was?

It's probably just the machine.

It happens every now and then.

Would you like me to call them?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It's fine. Try this one.

Hm.

What have you been buying

lately?

Everything okay?

What's going on, Sam?

What?

I thought we were having

a nice afternoon together.

Yeah, I'm just not sure

why you felt that I needed

a $400 pair of sunglasses

right at this exact moment.

You know, Jeannie,

I took time out of my schedule.

I canceled an appointment.

With whom? I jus...

is this about the...

the Brazilian girl at the store?

No.

But now that you mention it,

that was f***ing embarrassing.

If you really are going

to become a candidate...

"If" I become a candidate?

You're gonna have to learn

to deal with flattery

from girls like that.

You can't just buy

whatever sh*t they're selling.

What's bothering you,

Jeannie? Just say it.

- Just spit it out.

- Is there someone else?

No.

I don't believe you. I'm sorry.

Well, what am I supposed

to do about it?

There's nobody else.

Come on.

Executive privilege.

Yes, It's, uh, Bob fisher.

Uh, does clio still

have any times available?

Hey, Bob.

Um, yes, she does... 5:00.

Yes, today.

You want me to pencil you in?

Okay, I'll take it. Uh, where?

We have two officers

that are gonna be contacts.

How'd it go today?

All right, I suppose.

Sam's not exactly an open book,

but he's good.

He's very, very good

at what he does.

It's only 4:
30.

He's done already?

No, I think he's got a 5:00

outside the office.

Get out of the f***ing way!

Hi, I need to check

the balance of my card.

It was declined.

Uh, all right, what are

my options for payment?

$2,000.

Can I open a line of credit?

F***!

Sh*t!

Sorry.

Come on.

Call 911.

Are you all right?

You okay? Hey, just stay down.

- No.

- You sure?

I'm fine.

Hey!

No, they're not ready.

Not now.

Executive privilege.

Hi, this is Bob fisher.

I'm not gonna be able

to make my appointment today,

but I, uh...

I-I think you may be

under investigation.

I don't know, I just...

I think they have surveillance

at Clio's hotel.

I could be wrong.

Can you help us?

Help you?

Uh, no. No, I can't. I'm sorry.

Just destroy your records.

Just do whatever you need to do.

Just disappear.

Hello.

Please don't hang up,

Mr. Ellis.

I'm asking as a friend.

Can you help us?

Who is she, Sam?

What happened? Why were you

at the Saint regency hotel?

You can interrogate me later.

Just let me rest.

Sure.

Give you time to prep, right?

Jeannie, please.

This? What the f*** is this?
