I guess this is just another lost cause, Mr Paine.
There it is. The gentleman's answer.
I'll go out to Mount Vernon. It will be a fine thing to do.
You said he was sitting there waiting for someone.
Fighting so he can stand on his own two feet, free and decent.
This boy is different. He's honest.

Does Senator Smith wish to yield to his colleague Senator Paine?
I wouldn't be surprised if some of these senators were boys once.
On the day he presented it, I congratulated him.
Have you ever had so much to say you just couldn't say it?
I suppose when a fellow bucks up against a big organisation like that. -
What did you mean count me out?
Mr Smith.
Yes, Jim. Yes, Jim. Yes, Jim.
After a long study of this signature, it is my professional opinion -
- Meet the senator. - I'm very happy to know you, sir.
I'll tell you why we were in that room. Mr Taylor, a respected citizen. -
Not one word of what he's saying is being printed in that state!
- I won't send Horace Miller. - Oh, you won't?

Mr President!
A private office, huh?
Even if it takes all winter.
Parading like a member of the Senate.
No, I won't.
All Washington is here to be in on the kill.
- That takes time. - But this one is so simple.
- Who cares anyway? - I apologise.
I'm free... to think and to speak.
and were they good ones? no!
Well, I am not licked! I'll stay and fight for this lost cause.
This is a very painful duty for me. This boy is the son of my best friend.
The people of my state need permanent relief from crooked men!
At the convention anything can happen.
- What do you mean? What's so funny? - Nothing. Try a butterfly net.
I know...
You call blackmail sense, Henry?
Yours truly, Stinky Moore. Isn't it marvellous?
I sponsored him in the Senate. I helped him frame his bill.
I've got a piece to speak and blow hot or cold, I'm gonna speak it!
- Mr President! - I have the floor!
A woman out there has composed a song to replace The Star-spangled Banner.
It's not too late.
Is this one of your shenanigans? What's the matter?
I've been aching to mention it to you.
For a couple of months of the year.
- Yes. - Why don't you do it?
I wonder if it isn't a curse to be wised up like you and me.
- That we here highly... resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.
Forget it. All this stuff I've been telling you about this land -
I won't vote on it until I get my questions answered.
He used my land up around Willet Creek for his boy rangers.
Your boss? A nut? I knew there was a story in that guy.
- Will the Senator yield? - Yield how?
Wait a minute. This is nonsense. Joe is right.
I did not say that Senator Paine was one of the Congressmen in that room!
As I was saying, gentlemen... I'm either dead right or I'm crazy.
If you like business, you can pick any job and go right to the top.
- To get some graft to pay off some political army...
- Soul of honour on a tight rope. - You wouldn't be a little bit goofy?
And let the deficiency bill go through?

- The benefits... Who's Taylor? - What?
- Is a lot of hooey! This country belongs to the Taylors.
Hello?
- That no senator will speak for more than five minutes on any section.
- Well, he's got nothing on me. - I'm sorry.
He knows what George Washington said by heart and Boy Stuff is swell.
A rare man these days, Susan.
He is trying to blackmail this Senate as he tried to blackmail me.
I hate to stand here and try your patience. -
You have to see it for yourself. The prairies, wind leaning on the grass.
- Do I have any paper around here? - Second drawer.
Jeff, what did you do? Quit? Didn't you do something about it?
Hello, Dad.
- You want to do some good. - If you'll ever stand up like a man...
- We have to start those boys' camps and see what the kids can do.
Didn't you talk about a boys camp? You were earnest about that.
You've met all the boys, I suppose?
How do you do, Miss Paine? I'm on my way to the office.
Either I’m dead right or I’m crazy!
That's me.
He has been waiting for them to come marching here in droves.
His first whiff of Washington?
I refuse to stay here and listen to him!
I would stake my whole twenty year professional career -
I felt just like a mother sending the kid off to school for the first time.
You want to be a senator and build a camp on Willet Creek.
