:35:00
You don't throw me in a helicopter
to New York in the frigging night!
:35:05
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Senator.
:35:08
I trust we didn't interrupt anything
deeply personal.
:35:10
But I thought this needed
a face-to-face.
:35:14
Jesus. Wynn.
:35:16
What the hell is this all about?
:35:18
It's about us, Senator.
Our relationship.
:35:20
I hear you're going to take a pass
on the presidential race.
:35:24
How do you know that?
I've barely told my wife!
:35:27
I wanna put you in the White House,
Senator.
:35:29
Yeah. Right. Exactly how many skeletons
do I have in my closet?
:35:34
Per our arrangement, I've been holding
the key to that closet for some time--
:35:40
gouging the eyes out of anyone
who so much as looks in its direction.
:35:44
- You're serious.
- Always.
:35:49
All right. Say I run.
:35:52
What do you get out of it?
:35:54
A friend in a very high place.
:35:57
To be honest, I never wanted
the Oval Office.
:36:01
I'm content fighting battles
from the senate floor.
:36:04
Maybe a Speaker of the House.
:36:06
Sorry. Not good enough.
:36:09
In other words,
you're not asking me.
:36:13
And if I refuse?
:36:15
I see a closet opening.
Your own Pandora's box.
:36:22
You could do that, but then
I'd have to call the president...
:36:25
about a certain international tea party
you're throwing with DOD ordnance.
:36:30
The scandal would make Watergate
and lran Contra...
:36:33
seem like a mild fart
on Capitol Hill.
:36:36
Look, McMillan,
you get something straight right now.
:36:40
This isn't just about you and me.
:36:43
Last time I checked,
you had friends and family.
:36:46
I can make them suffer too.
But more importantly...
:36:49
who's going to protect your bastard son
Billy from New York's finest?
:36:56
I hear the cons on Riker's
despise child killers.
:36:59
Raped one last year
with a band saw.
