come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Gunn to the Senator: Look, I don't care what kind of services you were used to getting with this firm, but Holland Manners doesn't live here anymore. from Power Play (Season 5) | Next Clip in Episode |
TV ANNOUNCER: A Gulf War veteran and Bronze Star recipient, Mike Conley believes ethics and integrity matter... finding solutions to problems in our educational system, health and childcare services, and Mike Conley believes in work... and in home. Your home is his work. He's looking out for your children's interests. The video is a patriotic and warm-fuzzy advertisement for Mike Conley for U.S. Senate. It's a montage of evocative scenes: soldiers marching in formation, a man preparing to fly a jet, soldiers hugging each other, a man standing in his back yard looking skyward, jets flying over in formation, an American flag waving, the man standing in his back yard is there with his wife, children, and dog, the wife and daughter are playing Frisbee, the man's son runs to hug him.
SENATOR: There. So you can see my concern.
ERNESTO: This Conley campaign's a juggernaut. Guy came out of nowhere with his... Your home is his work crap. Women voters are eating it up.
SENATOR: And they were mine. I had a lock on the chick vote. And now my numbers are slipping. I didn't claw my way up from hell and get installed in a human body just to have some pedophile steal my senate seat.
GUNN: Wait---he's a pedophile?
SENATOR: Not yet. But the public better think he is when you guys get through.
GUNN: (angrily) Pardon me?
SENATOR: Hell, convince Conley he is. You've got some sort of brainwashing capabilities here, don't you? What's that doctor's name?
ERNESTO: Sparrow.
SENATOR: That's the one. This sounds right up his alley.
GUNN: Yeah, well, it's not up ours. Look, I don't care what kind of services you were used to getting with this firm, but Holland Manners doesn't live here anymore. We're not about to ruin a man's life and reputation just so you can--
ANGEL: We can do it.
GUNN: What?
ANGEL: (to the senator, ignoring Gunn) Not sure how long a reconditioning like that would take.
ERNESTO: The election's in November.
GUNN: You're not seriously considering--
SENATOR: Angel, you just made yourself a very loyal ally in Washington.
GUNN: (stands, incensed) Angel, we need to talk.
ANGEL: (blowing him off) I'm with the senator now, Gunn.
