:07:09
He was trying to sway my vote.
:07:14
Once he drove me home
from an all-night meeting,

:07:17
stopped his car on Earl Street.
:07:19
For no reason at all, he said,
except he was yearning for my lips.

:07:25
To tell you the truth, I was yearning for his.
:07:29
But it would have meant betraying
my platform and my constituents.

:07:33
- What did you do?
- I filibustered.

:07:35
- You what?
- I just kept on talking.

:07:37
The constitution, the Bill of Rights, poems,

I am a Congresswoman.
:08:24
Yeah. Now I know how I'll cast
my absentee ballot come re-election.

:08:28
- I'm here on official business.
- This is official.

:08:31
Oh! Now, listen.
:08:34
Listen.

"Listen, my children, and you shall hear
of the midnight ride of Paul Revere

:08:40
"On the 18th of April in '75,
hardly a man is now alive

:08:44
"Who remembers that famous day and year
:08:47
"He said to his friend, 'lf the British march
by land or sea from the town tonight

:08:52
"'Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
of the North Church tower as a signal light

:08:57
"'One if by land and two if by sea

"'And I on the opposite shore shall be
ready to ride and spread the alarm
