[chuckles]
[cellphone vibrating]
Hello?
[Wendy] It's Wendy Rhoades.
I'm sorry to call so late, but I figured
- you'd still be at the office.
- I am.
That first question you asked.
Are your feelings about Mafee helpful?
More than any stock
you'll ever champion,
more than any time you'll
impress somebody by being right.
You haven't noticed yet.
By the time anyone notices,
it's usually too late,
but that place has a way of obscuring,
corroding, eating you
from the fucking inside.
And you have a rare chance to survive.
You're so far ahead of
where Axe and I were
when we were your age.
We hadn't made hard choices.
You know yourself better.
And your feelings are a lifeline
connecting you back to that place,
screaming at you from your
core, "Don't forget me.
Don't forget.
I don't like to lie.
"
I don't.
Somber music
If you start to feel yourself
not feeling,
do what you did the other
day and come find me
before it's too
late for both of us.
I have to go.
[line beeps]
[string quartet plays from speakers]
[indistinct conversations]
- This is how you do it.
- Uh-huh.
He's got piss all over his big boy's.
[chuckles]
I'm just gonna play one.
Uh, maybe two.
["Landed" plays from piano]
Foley doesn't fuck
around.
That's Ben Folds.
No, even when he fucks
around, he means business.
We'd hit the bottom
I thought it was my fault
And in a way, I guess it was
I'm just now finding out
what it was all about
- Mr.
Rhoades.
- Yes.
Mr.
Foley would like to
see you in the library.
[Ben Folds] Moved to the
West Coast away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still,
I was still in love
[Ben Folds singing in distance]
Your father's been telling me about you
since you were in knickerbockers.
[chuckles]
Don't think I ever wore those.
No, he showed me the pictures.
Must have been you.
He'd never go around with
photos of the bastards.
He's put a lot of time into you.
My own children didn't have the drive.
Maybe I spoiled them too much.
Had to find other prospects.
But by this point, it's
a pretty deep farm system.
I've been drafting
blue-chippers, high upsides,
and reclamations for three decades.
So why should I sign you off the street?
Oh, I think you're confused.
I'm not trying to sell myself to you.
You didn't just put
Sweeney out of the race.
You crushed his spirit.
No reason to do that unless you wanted
to tell me something about you.
Maybe I just couldn't
help myself.
[chuckles]
Or maybe I knew you were dangling him
to see what I would do.
Whatever's meant to happen always does.
I had a gut feeling.
That's how I do this.
That's how I do all of it.
Mm.
So, what's the trick?
The trick? Hmm.
Well, like most, it's bracingly simple.
You pick the right man,
and then you get him the
fuck out of his own way
so people can actually see him.
Elections aren't about ideas.
Elections are about candidates.
Mm.
And candidates are about what's in here.
Suspenseful music
I am the right man.
[chuckles]
I am not going to ask you.
You can't think it works that way.
[scoffs]
Jack.
Will you make me governor?
Yeah.
Okay.
My friends will become your friends,
and your enemies will become mine,
as some already have.
Uh, about that clerkship,
you can put that
- out of your mind.
- Well, thank you.
I'm sure my granddaughter
has put it out of hers.
[Chuck] It's not really over.
There are other judges
more senior and prestigious.
I will deliver you that clerkship.
Whatever's meant to happen always does.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[indistinct conversations]
[sighs]
[Chuck Sr.
] I know.
I know.
It's starting to feel real.
Heavy lies the head that
The hesitation is still about Axelrod.
Yes.
Ah.
You know the joke about the
two bulls on top of the hill
and the cows down below?
The young bull wants to
run down and fuck one.
And the old bull says, "Let's
walk on down and fuck 'em all.
"
That has been repeated so
many times in movies, TV shows.
It's taken as received wisdom,
except the thing is you can't.
Nobody gets to fuck 'em all.
You got to choose which
one you're gonna fuck,
and then fuck her good.
[insects chirping]
[cellphone vibrating]
[dog barking]
Fucked Up's "Turn the Season"
[Bobby] Son of a bitch.
They go up, and then they go down
Chase a smile with a frown
He knows that his joy will stop
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
He's a ship on the sea
Welcome to the Yale Club.
Hey.
Excuse me.
Are you a member?
Do I look like a fucking member?
- We have a dress code.
- Good for you.
And she stepped on the billiard ball!
[laughter]
[Bobby] Rhoades!
[Bobby] Rhoades!
[Bobby] You fucking weasel!
[Bobby] Rhoades! Show
your fucking weasel face!
Chuck.
Uh
Well, uh, Bobby,
if you wanted to play squash,
you should have called ahead.
I know what you and your two
daddies did up in Sandicot.
I really don't know what
you're talking about.
You thought moving that
casino would, what, fuck me up?
Get me to sell off one of my jets?
Well, guess what I'm doing now.
Losing your religion in the Yale Club?
Drinking that town's fucking milkshake.
Everything that was
once theirs will be mine,
sold off, recycled,
stuck on a pedestal in
my office, doesn't matter.
