Blythe nods.<br />

FRANCIS (CONT’D)<br />

That version is dead. Erase every<br />

copy on every computer.<br />

FRANCIS (CONT’D)<br />

(as he goes)<br />

Call me if you need anything.<br />

And Francis is out the door. We follow him. He turns to us.<br />

FRANCIS (CONT’D)<br />

(to the camera)<br />

Busy work for poor old Blythe.<br />

Eventually I’ll have to re-write<br />

the bill myself. Not because I<br />

care what’s in it. I only care<br />

about where it gets me. And if it<br />

gets me rubbing shoulders with<br />

Walker again, it’s served its<br />

purpose. But to do that I need a<br />

bill I can pass. Ideology is for<br />

standing still on a soapbox. I<br />

never stand still. I want<br />

momentum.<br />

INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT<br />

TIGHT on the door. A knock. A moment later the door opens,<br />

revealing the CALL-GIRL we saw with Russo the night before.<br />

She’s wearing a long overcoat and heels. CUT TO to Stamper.<br />

STAMPER<br />

Come on in.<br />

The Call-Girl takes a look around the room, impressed. She<br />

unzips her overcoat. Let’s it fall to the ground. She’s<br />

only wearing panties underneath.<br />

Stamper pulls an enormous wad out <strong>of</strong> his jacket pocket.<br />

Tosses it to her. She starts to flip through the wad.<br />

STAMPER (CONT’D)<br />

Ten thousand dollars. What will<br />

that get me?<br />

She eyes him, a little frightened.<br />

CALL-GIRL<br />

I mean I’m kinky, but I don’t know<br />

if I’m the girl you’re looking for.<br />
