Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
George W. Bush:
So we gonna do this thing, or what? I mean, is this happening?
Dick Cheney:
We, uh, have found some very interesting candidates. Um, if we could schedule a three-hour window to get through...
George W. Bush:
I meant you. I want you to be my VP. You're the solution to my problems.
Dick Cheney:
No. I'm CEO of a large company. I have been, uh, Secretary of Defense. I have been Chief of Staff. Uh, the vice presidency is mostly a symbolic job.
George W. Bush:
Right, right. I can see how that wouldn't be, uh... enticing to you.
Dick Cheney:
However... the vice presidency is also defined by the president. And if were to come to a, uh... different understanding...
George W. Bush:
Uh-huh. Go on. I'm listenin'.
Dick Cheney:
I sense that, uh, you're a kinetic leader. You make decisions based on instinct.
George W. Bush:
I am. People always said that.
Dick Cheney:
Yeah, yeah. Very different. Very different from, uh, from your father in that regard. Now, maybe I can, uh, handle the more mundane jobs. Overseeing bureaucracy, managing military, uh, energy, uh, foreign policy.
[pause]
George W. Bush:
That sounds good! Never wanna be the kind of team owner that, uh, pulls the starter in the fourth inning.
Dick Cheney:
Mm-hmm.
George W. Bush:
That's the manager's job.
Dick Cheney:
One more thing. My daughter, Mary.
George W. Bush:
Right. Rove tells me she likes girls.
Dick Cheney:
Now, I know you have to, uh, run against, uh, gay marriage in the South, Midwest, and, uh...
[clears throat]
Dick Cheney:
But it's my daughter, and that line is drawn in concrete.
George W. Bush:
Don't you say another word. So long as you don't mind us pushing that messaging, we're okay with you sittin' that one out. I think it's important for all the... all the Mary's in the world, you know?
Dick Cheney:
[sighs]
George W. Bush:
No problemo. We got a deal?
Dick Cheney:
Then I believe this could work.
George W. Bush:
Hehehe!
[claps]
George W. Bush:
Hot damn! Yeah. Well, good. Hey... let's celebrate.
[they clink their glasses of iced tea]
George W. Bush:
Cheers.
Dick Cheney:
Cheers.
