VASQUEZ<br />
I know it’s a lot to put on your<br />
plate...<br />
FRANCIS<br />
You’ve got 100 days before the<br />
honeymoon is over. Anything you<br />
want to put on my plate, feel free.<br />
INT. UNDERWOOD’S (OUTER) OFFICE - FRONT DOOR - DAY<br />
Francis opens the door for Vasquez. As she’s leaving --<br />
VASQUEZ<br />
Keep me posted?<br />
FRANCIS<br />
Let me talk to Blythe. I’ll check<br />
in with you later this week.<br />
Terrific.<br />
VASQUEZ<br />
Vasquez leaves. Francis watches her go. He speaks to us --<br />
FRANCIS<br />
She’s wary. I can see it in her<br />
eyes.<br />
(and now to the camera)<br />
Walker’s political capital rises or<br />
falls with the success <strong>of</strong> this<br />
Bill. And I need to be at the<br />
center <strong>of</strong> it.<br />
He closes the door, walks back toward his inner <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />
FRANCIS (CONT’D)<br />
Vasquez might not trust me as far<br />
as she can throw me. But she<br />
doesn’t have to. If I prove myself<br />
indispensable, she can’t afford to<br />
throw me very far.<br />
He pops his head into Nancy Kaufberger’s <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />
FRANCIS (CONT’D)<br />
Nancy, set up a call with Harold<br />
Blythe.<br />
Continues toward his <strong>of</strong>fice.<br />
