Lynelle: You need to change laws if you want them to never come back. To change laws, you need favors.
John: You should have never let them in, Lynelle.
Lynelle: I didn't grant them the lease, John. Jamie did, and he was really wise to do so. The land board is made up of five offices -- the governor, the attorney general, the secretary of state, the auditor, and the public interests superintendent. Now, who do you think funded the campaigns for the other three? If it had gone before the land committee, the state would own your land. That's their next move when you cancel their lease, by the way. You could be a really good leader, John, but you're a shitty polician because you won't play the game. But if you don't play the game, the game plays you. I'm here for another month. Use me.
John: That's a refreshing thought.
Lynelle: That's not what I meant.
