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.
