I'm looking for Michael Lightcap.
I was told he arrived yesterday.
:38:06
Yes, indeed. Come right in.
:38:09
- Well, well, Senator Boyd.
- How are you? I'm glad to see you.
:38:14
- This is quite a surprise. Sit down.
- No, thanks, I'll only be a minute.
:38:19
I have a bit of news for you.
:38:23
- Rather important.
- Excuse me.
:38:26
Senator, my secretary.
:38:28
- And cook.
- And cook?
:38:29
- How do you do, senator?
- How do you do?
:38:32
- Excuse me.
- Now, sit down.
:38:41
The news I have for you couldn't
be entrusted to the mail or telegraph.
:38:48
By the way, what party
do you belong to?
:38:52
- I vote whichever way I see fit.
- An independent voter.
:38:56
The backbone of the country.
:38:59
Senator Boyd, please,
won't you tell me what...
:39:05
Well, Lightcap...
:39:14
...the president would be
pleased to appoint you...
:39:17
...to the bench of the
Supreme Court in September.
:39:26
Well? Would you be willing to accept?
:39:35
- I'd be willing to accept.
- Wonderful. Perfect.
:39:39
Congratulations. In six weeks, your
name will be submitted to the Senate.
:39:44
The Senate will investigate, naturally,
but I don't think we have to fear that.
:39:50
But I'd be careful.
:39:52
I'd keep the name out of the papers
if I were you.
:39:57
I've been keeping my name
out of the papers for years.
:39:59
- I've got to start back.
- You must have something first.
