Why'd you make me do Katie Couric? Did you see the coverage? Did you?
[silence]
Sarah Palin:
[shouting]
Are you there? Are you listening to me?
Nicolle Wallace:
Yes, Governor, I'm here. Katie was a logical choice; she's been very fair to us this entire campaign.
Sarah Palin:
You call that interview fair?
Nicolle Wallace:
Yes, Governor, I do.
Sarah Palin:
I certainly don't, she was out to get me from the get-go!
Nicolle Wallace:
No, she wasn't! The interview sucked because you didn't try!
Sarah Palin:
What, what do you mean I didn't try?
Nicolle Wallace:
You didn't fight back, like you did in the Charlie Gibson interview - when you didn't know the answers, you clawed your way back and it went fine! You just gave up!
Sarah Palin:
[through gritted teeth]
Nicolle, it wasn't my fault; I wasn't... properly... prepped!
Nicolle Wallace:
[angrily]
You weren't properly prepped because you wouldn't *listen* to us! You never *listen* to your advisers!
Sarah Palin:
[heatedly]
Because you're overwhelming me with *too much information*! You know, I-I don't, I don't wanna do these interviews! I want to do what I want to do!
Nicolle Wallace:
[sighs]
We're just trying to help you get through this, Governor. All we want is for you to succeed.
Sarah Palin:
[scoffs]
Yeah, you're *not* helping! You're just screwing me up! You're telling me what to say, what to wear, how to talk...
[shouting]
Sarah Palin:
I am not your puppet! Now I understand what Hillary meant when she said she had to find her own voice!
Nicolle Wallace:
[incredulously]
Yeah... 'cause you're just like Hillary.
Sarah Palin:
You have ruined me! You have ruined my reputation!
[shouting]
Sarah Palin:
I am ruined in Alaska!
[Palin throws her phone against the wall. On Wallace's end, the line goes dead. Shaking her head, she dials a new number]
Steve Schmidt:
Hi, it's Steve Schmidt. Leave a message.
Nicolle Wallace:
Steve, it's Nicolle. I will gladly resign if you want to blame me for Couric. But if you want me to stay, then I'm back on McCain's bus tomorrow, as I never want to deal with that woman ever again!

Summary: During the Republican run of the 2008 Presidential election, candidate John McCain picks a relative unknown, Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, to be his running mate. As the campaign kicks into high gear, her lack of experience, in both political and media savvy, becomes a drain upon McCain and his strategists.
