Cal McAffrey:
Morning, Cam...
Cameron Lynne:
That's funny about you. Every time your friend runs for re-election or conducts a hearing, you drop his name to me until we give him some coverage... but he finally does something that actually might sell some newspapers, you render mute. It's, it's - incongruous!
Cal McAffrey:
No, it's not... it's inconsistent.
Cameron Lynne:
Pfff, don't be an ass. What do you think? Those are the ideas for our facelift. I know, I know... it's crap! Our new owners have this odd idea that we ought to be turning a profit.
Cal McAffrey:
Yeah, well I hear our online site is doing great. I mean, not that I get to notice that sort of thing. I've been here what, uhh... fifteen years? I use a sixteen year old computer... she's been here fifteen minutes and she can launch a Russian satellite with the gear she's got.
Cameron Lynne:
Yeah, she told me you behaved like a pig.
Cal McAffrey:
That's too strong.
Cameron Lynne:
Well, pig-ish.
Cal McAffrey:
I showed her a little snout, uhuh.
Cameron Lynne:
Well, I happen to like miss Della Frye... and yes, I did send her down there to winkle something out of you. She's hungry, she's cheap and she churns up copy every hour.
Cal McAffrey:
Yeah, I now... I'm overfed, I'm too expensive and I take way too long.
Cameron Lynne:
Yes, you do.
Cal McAffrey:
I was Stephen Collins' room-mate in college... I don't live with him now.
Cameron Lynne:
Well, that's a shame isn't it.
Cal McAffrey:
Yeah... 'cause I could sell some newspapers.

Morning.
So, where are we?
Was he knobbing her or not?
Morning, Cam.
It's funny about you. Every time
your friend runs for reelection
or conducts a hearing,
you drop his name to me until
we give him some coverage.
But he finally does something
that actually might
sell some newspapers,
you're rendered mute.
It's incongruous.
No, it is not.
It's inconsistent.
Don't be an ass.
What do you think?
Those are the ideas
for our facelift.
I know. I know.
It's crap.
Our new owners
have this odd idea
that we ought to
be turning a profit.
Yeah, well,
I hear our online side is doing great.
I mean,
not like I'm the kind of guy
who would notice
that sort of thing,
but I've been here,
what, 15 years?
I use a 16-year-old computer.
She's been here 15 minutes,
and she could launch a Russian
satellite with the gear she's got.
Yeah, she told me
you behaved like a pig.
That's too strong.
Well, piggish.
I showed her
a little snout.
Well, I happen to like
Ms. Della Frye.
And, yes,
I did send her down there
to winkle
something out of you.
She's hungry, she's cheap,
and she churns out copy every hour.
Yeah, I know. I'm overfed, I'm too
expensive, and I take way too long.
Yes, you do.
I was Stephen Collins'
roommate in college.
I don't live with him now.
Well, that's a shame,
isn't it?
Yeah, 'cause that could
sell some newspapers.
Miss Baker died this
morning in an apparent accident
on the D.C. Metro.
Suicide has not
been ruled out.
It appears to be a suicide.
People close to the case say
that Congressman Collins,
quote, "took advantage" of this young
girl, resulting in today's suicide.
- Suicide.
- Suicide.
So, I know you're thinking,
"This guy's gotta be pretty
desperate to show up here."
No, I was thinking I can
finally give you back
that Roxy Music CD
you left in my car.
Is that where that one went?
I was looking for that.
I got three dozen reporters
camped in front of my place.
I'd go somewhere else,
but I don't have
anywhere else to go.
- Come in.
- Thanks.
I see you redecorated.
Yeah. I moved that
couch a couple of feet.
Looks good.
Aren't you gonna ask me
how I could be so stupid?
- In a minute.
- Okay.
You know, I co-sponsored two
bills in the last three years.
I'm in the middle of
co-authoring another one,
and this is what I'm
gonna be remembered for.
I'm gonna get
more coverage on this
than anything else I do
for the rest of my life.
The nature of the beast,
public office.
