Beth Dutton
- Governor Lynelle Perry: I get the sense there's something that you would like to discuss.
- Beth Dutton: What insight. No wonder you're governor.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: When my husband died, our son was 15.He's had countless issues since. Drug abuse, alcohol abuse, pretty significant gambling addiction. He can't hold down a job. Although, I hear that you're a highly-functioning alcoholic, so kudos for that. What I learned, painfully, is that when a child suffers a tragedy, they stop maturing. They're emotionally frozen at the age they experienced the loss, until they accept it, which, clearly, you haven't. I look at you, and I see a 14-year-old girl who wants to bully the world. But you can't bully me, Beth. Bullies need to be big, and I'm bigger than you. Got it?
- Beth Dutton: Boy, do I.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: I can't endorse you for office until you get some help.
- Beth Dutton: You're endorsing my brother, which shows your shrewd judge of character.I don't want your endorsement. That's not why I'm here.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: Okay, Beth. Fire away.
- Beth Dutton: Men don't think like us. Too simple to weigh the significance of every act. My father, he just wants to forget. But not you. You wanna piss in every corner and make those corners yours. Affairs happen in hotels, not homes. You need to look closer when you look at me, Lynelle. I ruin careers for a living. You sleep in my mother's bed again, and I will ruin yours. Ruin it. Got it? And tell your son to grow up. He sounds like a real pussy.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: We've been waiting a long time for this, Jamie. And you, what a surprise. I had no idea you were interested in politics.
- Beth Dutton: I'm not.But what daddy wants, daddy gets, right?
- Governor Lynelle Perry: Our plan is this. Mike announces his decision not to run. At the same time, he endorses you as his choice to succeed him. Christina interned for Chris Messina in 2012. Obama's campaign manager.
- Jamie Dutton: I know who he is.
- Beth Dutton: Of course you do.
- A.G. Stewart: She's been staffed with us for three years and was instrumental in our gain of five seats in the Assembly in 2016. We think she'd be a great asset to your campaign.
- Christina: I'm really excited to get started.
- Jamie Dutton: Well, I'm happy to have you on the team.
- Beth Dutton: Can my whore be a 6-foot fireman who loves Jesus?Please?
- Governor Lynelle Perry: The Dutton name gives you the red votes.Mike's endorsement gives you the blue votes.
- Jamie Dutton: So you want me to run as an independent?That opens me up to opposition from both parties. And it limits the possibilities for an office beyond this one.
- A.G. Stewart: Let's just worry about winning this office for now. There's a value to the independent party that didn't exist ten years ago.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: The partisan lines are drawn so deep.The only way to get anything accomplished is with a swing vote. Party members don't get those.
- A.G. Stewart: It's the new trend because it benefits both parties.
- Governor Lynelle Perry: If you run independent, run unopposed.
- A.G. Stewart: Both party chairs have pledged that.
- Beth Dutton: So, if he's running unopposed, why does he need this little firecracker?Or do these kind of perks come with the office?
- Governor Lynelle Perry: Can I have a word with Beth alone?
