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 />

34.
