:14:00
- Looks kind offishy.
- Unless it comes from within the family.
:14:04
So, Dickie Pilager.
:14:07
Not a public official yet.
:14:09
Serves as a front to Benteen,
bankrolling his father's campaign.
:14:14
Benteen is in real estate.
He's in cattle.
:14:17
He's in publishing, media, mining...
:14:19
utilities, waste disposal.
:14:22
How much federal regulation
doyou thinkthat entails?.
:14:24
When Benteen wanted to end
health and safety inspections...
:14:27
at his meat processing plant,
SenatorJud led the charge.
:14:30
So he wants his own man in the governor's
mansion, someone corruptible.
:14:34
There is not a corrupt bone in Dickie
Pilager's body. He's just- What?.
:14:38
He's user-friendly.
:14:41
Wes Benteen, Chuck Raven just saywhatever
they thinkwill get them what theywant.
:14:46
Dickie Pilager is a true believer.
:14:51
These are the guys
you're working for, pal.
:14:53
I wasn't even born when most ofthis
happened, and it still pisses me off.
:14:56
It's not like I'm helping them
get elected or anything.
:14:59
You're just trying to pay
the rent like everybody else, right?.
:15:04
- Any dirtyou can spare though.
- Come on, Mitch.
:15:07
I've got... professional ethics.
:15:10
Chickenshit.
:15:17
Seen Nora lately?.
:15:21
Nora?.
:15:22
No. I see her byline.
:15:27
I hear she's engaged
to some guy.
:15:31
Terrific.
:15:34
With the amount offederal money
coming to the state decreasing-
:15:37
I'm not raising taxes.
:15:40
What about the shortfall
in social programs?.
:15:42
I repeat, I'm not raising taxes.
:15:44
We can't just keep throwing the taxpayer's
hard-earned money at these perceived-
:15:49
some ofthem, I admit, are real-
so-called social problems.
:15:53
We have to get
our priorities straight.
:15:56
Education is a priority.
Health care is a priority.
