:18:00
Well, then... allow me to remind you.
:18:13
[Door slams]
:18:15
"Born into one of the wealthiest families of Greenville, Alabama,
:18:19
her daddy's in cotton and all that that implies."
:18:23
There's no listing for an Earl Carmichael in Greenville.
:18:26
How about her local high school?
:18:27
No record of a Melanie Carmichael attending... ever.
:18:30
Jesus! Whatever happened to responsible journalism?
:18:37
There's something wrong here.
:18:40
Why would my son do this to me?
:18:43
Maybe he, um, loves her.
:18:44
Oh, please!
:18:46
This is classic rebound.
:18:47
He's still wounded from breaking up with... who was his last girlfriend?
:18:50
Whitney Truesdale, lawyer, San Francisco.
:18:53
Yeah, well, there was a match made in Heaven...
:18:55
society, political family, California...
:18:59
all those electoral votes.
:19:01
Get Andrew on the phone.
:19:04
Since we all have a very small window for the Secretary of Housing,
:19:07
please hold your questions until after the presentation.
:19:10
Gentlemen.
:19:11
Did you see the look on my mom's face?
:19:13

:19:16

:19:18
- That's harsh.
- That's Mom.
:19:20
- Thank you.
- Thanks a lot.
:19:22
We hope to have the Bronx Children's Hospital
:19:23
open by fall 2003.
[Cellphone ringing]
:19:25
Oh, speak of the devil.
Hello?
:19:28
So, have you two lovebirds set a date?
:19:30
I'm pleading the Fifth.
:19:32
Okay, fine, just try to keep your secrets. I dare you.
:19:34
Oh, at least you sound like you're in a better mood.
:19:36
My approval rating went up 2 points.
:19:38
It seems the public likes being reminded I am a mother.
:19:40
God, always running for office.
:19:42
I'm only thinking of you.
Say, um...
:19:45
do you happen to have the Carmichaels' number
:19:47
down there in Greenville?
:19:49
I thought perhaps I should introduce myself.
:19:52
I would like to meet them first, if you don't mind.
:19:54
You do realize the press is going to be all over this.
:19:57
Take it fom me. Happy couples don't sell.
:19:59
So if there are any skeletons in her closet, Andrew,
