Bradford: I have a lot of respect for how you two have handled your relationship. Conflicting ambitions are a difficult thing to manage. And you built a good arrangement.
Andy: Thanks. It worked for us.
Bradford: But the open part of the marriage can't continue during the campaign.
Prince: We know, but how did you know?
Bradford: My job to know. I heard a whisper and followed it up but couldn't get it confirmed, Andy's stuff in the bathroom was a nice touch, but this layer of marital harmony is about one night thick. Things have supposedly changed, but the American electorate isn't ready for a first couple with an arrangement.
Andy: He's good.
Andy: So, what now?
Bradford: I need to wade in the murky parts of this with you, and you're gonna have to let me. I need to know it all.
Prince: We can do that.
Bradford: OK, let's start with the names of all your partners in the last five years.
It ain't me, babe. And not because I think you're wrong about Prince or because I don't want to be there for you three who have each overtime earned my serious consideration, respect, even love. Because America, the land of the free, isn't that for me anymore? And I can't see how it ever will be. Because Prince is only on the ascent and I don't engage in wars of attrition anymore. Because Chuck is a free man who never relents, never stops, and I remain the one that got away.
