Boy, can he dance!
We won a limbo contest.

:23:05
And we got a medal.
:23:06
She remembered the medal!
:23:08
You wanna see it?
:23:11
Yes.
:23:12
OK. See?
:23:16
And... looks like first prize.
:23:22
It has been said
that the love of wealth

:23:25
is at the heart of all Americans.
:23:28
Do you think that's true?
:23:31
- I don't know. Who said it?
- Tocqueville.

:23:35
He wrote Democracy In America,
:23:37
possibly one of the most perceptive books
ever written about our system.

:23:41
It's a book?
No wonder I never heard of it.

:23:48
In future, I think it would be best to
limit Billie's exposure to the media,

:23:51
given her limited understanding of...
:23:54
well, everything.
:23:56
Couldn't we do something?
Smarten her up a bit?

:23:58
She didn't know how to play gin rummy
till I taught her.

:24:01
Now she beats my brains out.
:24:02
Isn't there some kinda school?
:24:05
A long time would pass
before school had an impact on Billie.

:24:08
I think we should send her back.
:24:10
All she needs is someone to pound
some smarts into her, one on one.

:24:14
I got an idea.
:24:15
The four most terrifying words
in the English language.

:24:21
- Ed tells me you teach at Georgetown.
- That's right.

:24:24
How much you make?
:24:27
- What am I, an accountant?
:24:29
I love this guy!
:24:32
Listen, Paulie, the reason I ask...
I got this friend.

:24:35
Maybe you've seen her - Billie?
:24:37
Billie. Right.
:24:39
She's a nice kid,
but she's a little on the stupid side.

:24:42
Not her fault. I found her in Vegas
and for Vegas, she's smart enough.

:24:45
But Washington?
:24:47
I'm just scared
she's going to be unhappy.

:24:49
She's not used to these kind of people.
:24:52
I figure maybe you could help her.
And me. You know what I mean?

:24:57
No, I don't.
:24:59
Show her the ropes, the low-down,
explain to her what goes on.
