Because I encouraged them to. I noticed in a partisan world, the person in the middle…

David Lee: So, first…

Allegra: I should warn you that I’m bad at interviewing. Also, I took some cough syrup this morning, so I’m a bit more intuitive than usual.

David Lee: You haven’t worked in a law firm in 10 years, Ms. Jurado. Why come back now?

Allegra: It’s an interesting time.

David Lee: Why is that?

Allegra: After all fire all that’s left are the foundations. It’s a good time to rebuild.

David Lee: And how would you rebuild?

Allegra: Recently, I’ve become obsessed with space law.

David Lee: Sorry.

Allegra: Space law, mineral rights on the moon, real estate law on Mars.

David Lee: Well, it was nice to meet you.

Allegra: No it wasn’t, but our second meeting will go better. I grow on people.

David Lee: Good to know. Ms. Jurado, what do you Liz and Diane see in you?

Allegra: They think I’ll be a figurehead here, someone they can manipulate into agreeing with them.

David Lee: They both think that?

Allegra: Yes.

David Lee: And why do they both think that?

Allegra: Because I encouraged them to. I noticed in a partisan world, the person in the middle controls the agenda. Look at Joe Manchin. His wife didn’t even know he existed last year, and now he controls America.
