Gov. Jack Stanton:
[handing Picker the scandalous information concerning his dealings with Reyes]
This is the only copy left. I want you to have it because it might help you to know what someone else may find. I shouldn't have looked for it. I'm really sorry. Gov. Fred Picker:
Fuckin' cocaine. You know, I was really so successful at everything I did. Business, politics, hell, I could handle anything... except cocaine. Only I didn't know that because of cocaine. That's what really fucked up my marriage. It wasn't anything else. And... [pause] Gov. Fred Picker:
I did go to bed with 'Renzo once or twice. Hell, it was just a coke thing. I could do anything, so I did that too. [pause] Gov. Fred Picker:
I'm seeing a really nice woman now... I suppose I have to tell her. [voice breaking] Gov. Fred Picker:
Hell of a price to pay, isn't it? Gov. Jack Stanton:
Well, maybe no one will find out. Gov. Fred Picker:
Well, you did... in a day. I should never have said yes to Mrs. Harris. But I liked what Harris was doing, and I thought I'd give it a week, and it just took off. Once I did that blood thing, God... Gov. Jack Stanton:
[interrupting]
... but that was great politics. Gov. Fred Picker:
Yeah... amazing, wasn't it? Jack, I'd like to thank you for coming here, the honorable way you have. I was wrong to stay in. I just hope that maybe when I quit, they won't hit it as hard. And my boys, I really don't want them to know about 'Renzo. The problem is, the bottom line is, I'm going to be a national joke... and I'm going to have to explain it all to my boys... either way. Because no matter what I do, the press is still going to find out the rest of it, aren't they? Gov. Jack Stanton:
If they think it will sell one newspaper, yes. Gov. Fred Picker:
[breaking down]
Oh, my God. Gov. Jack Stanton:
[putting his hand on Picker's shoulder]
If there's anything I can do... anything... that can make it a little better... [stands and leaves as Picker weeps]
