:49:02
...and I should behave myself
and entertain you until he gets back.
:49:06
Your father's on the phone
with his dentist?
:49:08
No. He told me to tell you
that he's on the phone with his dentist.
:49:11
He wants you to think he's a regular guy.
:49:14
Who's he on the phone with?
:49:15
The Prime Minister of Israel.
:49:18
They're probably not discussing his teeth.
:49:20
I hope not.
:49:22
They're discussing that abbreviation
I can never remember.
:49:26
C-STAD?
:49:27
Yeah.
:49:28
Capricorn Surface-to-Air Defense.
:49:31
Right.
:49:32
Okay.
:49:33
Let meat loaf night begin. Hi.
:49:35
Hi. How's everything with your teeth?
:49:38
- My teeth?
- The dentist.
:49:39
Oh, right.
:49:40
I got a cavity in my upper bicuspid region.
:49:43
You have a short-range weapons system
outside Tel Aviv.
:49:46
I think somebody told on me.
:50:01
You're over-thinking this. Voters don't
care how to achieve economic growth.
:50:06
They don't want to hear our plans
to strengthen foreign policy.
:50:09
It comes down to character.
:50:11
The press like him.
The networks, the newspapers...
:50:13
Reporters like him.
:50:15
Networks and newspapers like
ratings and circulation.
:50:19
For all the bitching we do
about liberal bias in the press...
:50:23
...when it comes to
a good character debate--
:50:25
The press is an unwitting accomplice.
:50:27
The character debate didn't work for us.
:50:29
Because it couldn't.
:50:31
Our poll told us that attacking him
less than a year after he'd lost his wife...
:50:36
...would make people feel sorry for him.
:50:38
We dumped that campaign
because the opponent was a widower.
:50:43
He's still a widower. Time's passed but...
:50:47
Forgive my friend. He was on a hunting
trip. He's been cut off from the world.
:50:52
Why? What's going on?
