and half of those decisions
are about political survival.

:32:03
I don't resent that.
:32:06
So if you've come here lookin' for me
to apologize for keeping alive...

:32:09
you better pull up a chair,
'cause you're gonna be here for a while.

:32:14
Tell me you didn't
sell me out.

:32:17
Tell me you didn't sink my whole career
to make you look good.

:32:21
Those charges
will be dismissed.

:32:24
Your career will go forward,
albeit back here in Washington.

:32:28
Oh, come on. Don't tell me
you wanted that kind of life.

:32:31
Squat-pissing in some
third-world jungle...

:32:34
with some guys
looking up your behind.

:32:36
I wanted the choice.
That's how it's supposed to be.

:32:40
The truth is, the choice isn't yours,
and it isn't mine.

:32:44
American families
are just not prepared...

:32:46
to have their daughters
and young mothers in harm's way.

:32:49
- You don't know that.
- Yes, I do.

:32:52
Roper, Paris, Gallup, all the polls,
they all come back the same way.

:32:54
What are you saying?
:32:58
That a woman's life
is more valuable than a man's?

:33:01
That a woman's death
is more hurtful than a man's?

:33:05
No politician can afford to let women
come home in body bags,

:33:09
especially me.
:33:15
It was never
gonna happen anyway.

:33:19
Then why the fuck did you start me
on all this in the first place?

:33:25
Truthfully?
:33:27
I never expected you to do so damn well.
I thought you'd ring out in two weeks.

:33:33
Bing, bang, it's over,
and we're popular.

:33:39
In Washington,
:33:41
you don't even need the Ten Commandments
if you're popular.

:33:49
I wonder what Secretary Hayes
would think about this...

:33:54
if he was to know
how you dealt me away...

:33:56
for bases, for votes.
