Ohh Cyrus!
Oh, thank God you're alright!
What are you doing here, Mellie? Officially, I've come to visit Cyrus in his hour of need.
Now, I know you don't want cameras in the room
Cy, but they got me coming in so I was thinking,
when Fitz and I go down in the elevator together maybe we could let a little press into the lobby, I'm not leaving
here with you.
Our approval ratings are up, Fitz, If you plan to run and win
We need to capitalize on the public's support. Mellie, this
phase of our lives; capitalizing on public support
as a definition of marriage; is OVER.
Make no mistake, you are going to leave the White House.
They'll want your own political career, and I will back you
And campaign for you, and never speak of my ex-wife, Mellie Grant, in
anything but the most glowing of terms. And then about a year into my second term
I will go on one or two, high profile, dates with; well educated,
age appropriate, career, women which will be chronicled in immaculate detail
by tabloids around the globe. And when word leaks six months
later that I've been spending time with one
of my oldest, dearest, most trusted advisers who selflessly acted as the mouthpiece of
my administration when I was lying half-dead in a hospital bed. Who has always stood beside
me as my friend and colleague,
when it gets out that she and I have started, after all this time, to care for one another in
a way that is no longer strictly professional
America will love her. And let's be honest, my relationship
with Olivia Is going to spark a real dialogue about race
in this country And it is going to blow the Republican Party
wide open. And let some light and air into places that haven't seen
change in far too long. So the Party, will love her.
And you, wanna be on the right side of history here, trust me, you do.
Now, if you don't wanna play along, if you leak Olivia's name, if you refuse to go gently;
Well, it only takes a few whispers of the word racist, before the feminist groups and the religious
groups and even the Republican National Committee
turn up their noses at your stink. But I don't wanna do that Mellie, I wanna help
you join me as a living, breathing, monument to redemption and second chances
in the America we all hope still exists.
I take it, Liv..came up with that...
She did...
Its good...
