Linda :No ,He couldn't make it .i'll brief him ,though .
F:ok,this is the memo i drafted on our Middle East policy we're been developing .Now i wanna borrow from Reagan ,i'd like to coin the phrase"trickle-down diplomacy",that way...
L:Frank,i'm going to stop you there.We're not nominating you for S of S.I know he made you a promise,but circumstances have changed.
F:The nature of promises,Linda,is that they remain immune to changing circumstances.
L:Garrett has thought long and hard about this,and he's decided we need you to stay in Congress.
F:When was this decision made?And why wasn't i part of a conversation?
L:i'm sorry,Frank,if it had been up to me,i wouldn't have waited this long to tell you.
F:So you knew you were going to do this.
L:It has been an evolving discussion.
F:It's a chicken-shit move. i was vetted,was that a ruse?
L:no
F:let's be absolutely clear .You wouldn't have won without me.
L:You're right .But now we have to lead ,and that means making tough choices .As you know ,education is a top priority for us. A complete federal overhual .But it's not just education ,Frank .Congress is split .We need you there more than we need you to the State Department.

bg:Zoe第一次见frank，看她是如何推销自己，让一个小记者和congressman搭上线的。
Z:Congressman.
F:Who are you
Z:My name is Zoe Barnes.I'm a reporter at the Washington Herald.
F:It is after 10:30at night and this is my home.i do not allow...
Z:We're part of a mutual admiration society.(展示舞会合影)
F:you're a fan of the symphony.
Z:well,more for the people-watching than the music.
F:It's all right,Steve.Come on in ,Ms.Barnes.(两人进屋，f给z倒酒)
Z:it's strong
F:you prefer weak?
Z:No,the stronger the beater.(z脱掉围巾，漏出半球)There's no harm in looking.
F:that's a cheap ploy.
Z:it's cheap but effective.
F:well,you certainly have my undivided attention.
Z:good,the reason i'm here...
F:oh,is foreplay over?
Z:I read somewhere that JFK never lasted more than three minutes.
F:the point being?
Z:time is precious.Powerful people don't have the luxury of foreplay.
F:ok,so why are you here,Ms.Barnes？
Z:i need somebody i can talk to.
F:we're talking.Tell me what we're talking about.
Z:i protect your identity ,i print whatever you tell me .And i'll never ask any questions.
F:and what makes you think i don't already have such an arrangement with one of your collage?
Z:because if you did,you wouldn't have let me through the door.
F:i've led a very long ,very successful career avoiding this sort of intrigue with the press .i can't see any advantage in starting now.
Z:but is there any disadvantage?
F:Sloppinisee,for one.
Z:I promise you absolutely discretion.
F:so we're talking about trust.
Z:use whatever word you like.
F:words matter very much,Ms Barnes.You should care more about them,given your profession.
Z:then yes,your trust.
F:so which barnes should i trust?The one who wrote about the fireman that married the meter maid?Or the one who authored a very fine acticle on a new jogging path in Rock Creek Park?Don't be flattered.I read everything.
Z:i'm better than what they have me doing.You know what that feels like
F:do i?
Z:you would have made a great S of S.
F:(停顿一会)How exactly may i help you,Ms.Barnes?
Z:you must know the administration's legislative agenda .What's coming up first.
F:i may.
Z:will you tell me?
F:what would be your guess?
Z:education
F:why?
Z:Immigration is too controversial.Tax-reform isn't sexy enough.Everyone can get behind children.Is it education?
F:you might very well think that.i couldn't possibly comment.
Z:a hint?
F:it's late.Ms Barnes.
Z:can we talk again?
F:i hope you'll understand that i want to sleep on all this.
i never make such big decision so long after sunset and so far from dawn.
