[00:00:00]Haven't seen you on the floor in some time, Jim. Hope I'm keeping you busy.

[00:00:03]Well, a touch of the earth every now and again can prove a kind remedy, Senator.

[00:00:08]Oh, may I get my hands dirty from time to time. It's good to have you back in the fold, Jim. You had lots of promise once. We like you. Not just me, the president, too. He says he could see you making a real impact. The interior, maybe? Land Bureau, that sort of thing?

[00:00:21]I'm hardly qualified for that job. You own a farm, don't you? If you'll excuse me, I'll be late for my speech.

[00:00:29]You shouldn't have come back, Jim.

[00:00:30]Pardon me? Take it from someone who's been at it a while. Go back to Ohio.

[00:00:34]Enjoy your quiet farm, Jim. You've got too much heart for a business as filthy.

[00:00:38]Tears you apart. Hell, it's got to. Man like you, you'd be dead before you hit the ground.
