Unraveling Secrets and Hidden Truths
Jenny Lerner
We know everything.
Alan Rittenhouse
Nobody knows everything.
Jenny Lerner
Well, we know about the secret phone lines, and the whispered calls to the president, and about a secretary of the Treasury who's kept his entire department in the dark about what he's really doing, about a cover story about his resignation that just fell through. I mean, sir, you want me to go on?
Alan Rittenhouse
And you're just gonna break it?
Jenny Lerner
Well, that's what we do for a living.

Well, congratulations, you now have the biggest story in history. Good luck to you. Personally, I think it's a mistake to run the story, but hey, what the hell? Why not?

Two weeks? There's no such thing as two weeks in the news business.
President Tom Beck
And I can't appeal to your sense of what's in the nation's best interest.
Jenny Lerner
I always thought the truth was in the nation's best interest.

No, thanks. I don't eat flesh.
Marcus Burnett
Say what?

[[w:Oscar_Mayer#Advertisements|My bologna has a first name]
Julie Mott
Actually, your bologna, has about thirty names because they take odd parts from all different ones, like the leftovers: The hooves and stomach lining...

...ears, stuff like that. They put it into this machine and grind it all up. Then out comes this sheet. That's what you're eating now.

You know what? I won't eat bologna no more. How about a pickle? Can I eat the pickle?
[''Loss of appetite'']

It has a lot of salt in it, but it's fine. It is a vegetable.
