[birds chirping]

But what has this got to do with me?

She's your daughter too, David.

I want you to take this seriously.

But I am.

If you don't know that, then you don't know me well at all.

David, I don't understand what's going on.

I feel like... [sighs]

Angela, kids will be kids, all right? It's no big deal.

-Did you see the pictures? -I don't even know what she was thinking.

She was not thinking, and that's the point.

She was... twerking, David.

I know.

It's all over the Internet, it's in the papers.

"The Governor's Twerking Daughter."

[chuckling]

Can you please take this seriously?

But I am. I am taking it seriously.

Eh? But it's the nature of the beast, Angela.

We live in a fish bowl now, Angela.

Yes, and I wish people would get that!

But hold on, are you upset about this as a mother or a politician?

What do you mean?

Would you have been upset if you were not the governor?

There are pictures of my daughter simulating a sex act in the papers, David!

Yes! But would her pictures have been in the papers

if you were not the governor?

-So, it's my fault? -No, it's nobody's fault.

No, it's just what it is.

You're the governor. A mother.

A wife.

Some things are bound to suffer.

I see.

And if I were a man, would I be held to the same exacting standards?

[scoffs] Please, grow up, Angela. Please.

This is our reality. Ah? It's not going to change overnight.

Of all the people, I would have thought you would have at least had my back.

But I do have your back.

[theme music playing]

Hold all my calls this morning, and, um, clear my schedule until midday.

-Yes, ma'am. -[Angela] Thank you.

Your Excellency...

Commissioner Bello, can this wait?

If you wish. You asked to see me, but I'll be happy for a postponement.

No. Let's get this over and done with.

Your Excellency, can we catch up later? I have a few urgent calls to make.

No, I want you to stay. This won't take long.

Your Excellency should not be upset

about the unsupervised antics of our children.

Commissioner!

Oh, sorry.

I thought the explicit pictures

were the reason for the governor's distress.

Honorable Commissioner, I'm more concerned that

our children are not in school today because teachers are not getting paid.

Your Excellency--

And that contractors are yet to be paid two years after completing their jobs.

[chuckles weakly] Oh, yes. Um, that is a possibility--

No, it's a fact. And the question is, why?

That is simple.

It's simply because there is no money to pay for it.

Is that a joke?

I never joke about money.

Commissioner, with all due respect,

what would you do if two years after completing your job,

you hadn't been paid?

I will understand that I'm doing business with government.

It is a long-term investment.

These people have families. They have mouths to feed.

I'm sorry, if I could print more money, I would.

Commissioner, please.

[Friday sighs]

I still think you should have some breakfast.

Hmm. I don't have time.

What about some fruit?

-Diane, don't fuss. I'll be fine. -Okay.

They are not asking for much.

Find the money. Look for the money elsewhere.

At the expense of what ministry?

Health, Transportation, or Women's Affairs?

How much would a small pay increase cost us?

Six hundred and thirty million.

Just tell me where to move it from and I'll do it.

-[sighs] -What's wrong?

Nothing.

When was the last time you saw her?

[crying] She's actually avoiding me.

I don't think she's avoiding you.

She's avoiding me. She's not even pretending.

I don't know what I did to that child.

That child...

is the governor of this state.

Don't worry. I'll talk to her.

Your Excellency, we have a lot on our plate at the moment!

Not enough that we can't pay our debts.

Your Excellency, this is politics!

No, Commissioner, this is governance.

I may be naive and inexperienced,

but even a child knows you pay for what you've bought.

Your Excellency, this is how it has always been done.

The contractors know this, so they don't complain!

But it's wrong and unjust and it breeds corruption!

Your Excellency, I did not come here

to be lectured about the morality of governance.

You just don't understand how these things work!

Friday, you're being insubordinate!

I am free to express my mind!

And you must, and so you must, as will I.

And in the meantime, I want all the contractors paid in full.

Your Excellency, there are a number

of very important projects going on right now.

If we pay the contractors now, we will not be able to finish them.

Projects should not be started if we do not have the funds to finish them.

[sighs] Very well.

Your Excellency, send me a memo

mandating me for an immediate release of the funds to the contractors.

But let it be on record

that I tried to dissuade you from that course of action.

[both chuckling]

Ahmed! [laughs]

Or should I say, "Your Excellency"?

Uncle Friday, so good to see you.

Oh, you too. And congratulations, by the way.

Thank you, thank you. Are you coming for the swearing in?

Of course! I'll be standing right next to your proud father this afternoon.

[laughing]

-Is he here? -He's on his way.

Ah, good, good!

-So, see you later then, huh? -Thank you, thank you.

Your Excellency.

[both laugh]

Make sure you are home tonight, Iffy, or else!

-[sighs] -You should go easy on her.

Why does everyone think my response will be disproportional?

I'm sorry.

No, no. Henry, I'm sorry.

It's just-- It suddenly feels like all hell has broken loose.

-Maybe you need a break. -I can't.

I have Ahmed outside waiting to be sworn in.

My daughter's the poster girl for all the boys in Savannah,

and to top it off, I have a crisis in Education parking on my doorstep.

Ma'am, Mr. Ahmed Jalo is waiting to see you.

Please send him in.

I hope all the drama ends with the swearing in.

I am exhausted.

[sighs]

[Ahmed] Your Excellency.

-Your Excellency! -[both chuckle]

-Please, sit down. -Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

Dr. Jalo, how does it feel to be the father

of the new deputy governor of the state?

It's an honor for my family.

It not only proves our dedication

and commitment to the citizens of this state,

but it also demonstrates the prudence and wisdom of the governor.

Sir, did the nomination come to you as a surprise

given your cold relationship between you and the governor?

You journalists are impossible. The governor is like a daughter to me.

Chief Momoh-Alli and I have had a long-standing relationship

dating back many years.

[reporters clamoring]

[Dr. Jalo] Thank you. How are you?

Why has Musa been denied entry?

With all due respect, Commissioner,

do you realize that what you have done could be misconstrued as insubordination?

And what is that?

Musa was replaced as CSO.

It is inappropriate for you to have him as part of your entourage!

Her Excellency did not want him and I needed him.

It sends the wrong signal.

And what signal is that?

Defiance.

Until you can show me that clause in the constitution,

that says that I cannot employ a former employee of the governor,

Musa will work with me.

Reactivate his access, or else.

And, by the way...

you have been behaving like a demigod the past few weeks.

Have you forgotten where the real hierarchy is here?

If you want a political future in this state,

you had better start backing the right horse.

Look, I don't know anything about any horse,

but I am very familiar with donkeys, and sticks.

If you know what's good for you, Commissioner...

back off the governor.

Or what?

[laughs] I appreciate your knight in shining armor act, Henry.

Is she giving you some, hmm?

[grunts]

[groaning]

[indistinct chatter]

Sir, we can't let him get away with this.

Just give me the word, let me crush that damn--

Shut up!

We've got to be careful.

If anything happens to him, suspicion will fall on me.

Well, then, it will be his word against yours.

Besides, you can sue him for assault for this.

Not without Ochello finding out about the content of our conversation.

Don't worry, Musa.

Henry Duke must pay.

We just have to be careful and patient.

[cell phone ringing]

What?

When?

Well, that's rather short notice.

No, no, no. We can handle it.

Any problem, sir?

Alhaji Kassim will be in town in two days' time.

-What? -Yes.

We've got work to do.

Please, you will repeat after me.

"I, Ahmed Jalo..."

[Ahmed] I, Ahmed Jalo...

-[chief justice] "...do solemnly swear..." -...do solemnly swear...

[camera shutters clicking]

Your Excellency. Your Excellency?

-Commissioner. -I need to speak with you urgently.

-Can't it wait? -No, it cannot.

[Angela] What's so urgent?

I need for you to sign this.

-What is it? -The party convention.

That-- That is at least eight weeks away.

Because it has been moved forward.

You should have been informed, Henry.

Two hundred million?

Yes. We're even lucky it's not a national convention.

But why are we paying for it?

Shouldn't this be the party's responsibility?

Because we are the party, Your Excellency.

The party is more important than individuals or group.

Including the people that impart knowledge to your children?

Including everybody, without exception.

Your Excellency, we all serve at the pleasure of the party.

And what is this for?

Alhaji Kassim will be in Savannah in two days, the day after tomorrow.

The Alhaji Kassim?

One and same.

And we really do not have time to prepare for his visit.

Commissioner, this is unacceptable. We were not informed about this.

I just received a phone call a few minutes ago.

And I think the visit has to do with the convention.

Thirty million to host one man for 24 hours?

Alhaji Kassim travels with a 12-man entourage.

That is really not too much to spend for the leader of our party.

But can't we adjust the budget?

I mean, think of all the things we want to do in this state

that we don't have money for.

That is the budget, Your Excellency.

You can remove anything that you think is not necessary.

But it will show, and Alhaji Kassim might consider it

as a measure of your regards for him.

Commissioner, in my few weeks as governor,

I've come across many essential issues that are starved of funds.

What amazes me are the many non-essential issues that get funded.

When did the essentials start losing out?

We are talking about party convention.

Are you going to approve it or should I go and tell Alhaji Kassim

that you would rather increase teacher's salaries

than fund our conventions?

Thank you, Your Excellency.

-Still here? -Mm...

I'm on my way out.

You should get some rest.

It's been a brutal day and it's not over yet.

-Just remember, we were all young once. -[chuckles]

That feels like a very long time ago.

Hmm, not so long.

Your Excellency, what is it?

Who audits the accounts for all the ministries in the state?

That's Friday Bello's job.

And who audits Friday's?

We have external auditors who verify the accounts.

We can ensure that Friday finds the necessary funds

if we hint at an impending general audit of all the ministries.

That's a routine process.

We'll just let it slip that you were paying particular attention

to the outcome of the next one.

And we'll be using foreign and reputable auditors.

Yes. Friday will panic.

The party leaders will step in,

you will get your money in exchange for squashing the audit.

-That's what we will do. -[both chuckle]

Look at you! You're turning out to be a professional politician.

[chuckles]

That, Henry, is exactly what I'm afraid of.

What were you thinking?

Have you seen the headlines?

Everywhere I turn, I hear the remarks, Ifeoma!

What on earth is wrong with you?

It was supposed to be a private party, Mom.

But it wasn't quite so private, was it?

The whole world can see that!

What have you got to say for yourself?

-Nothing. -Nothing?

What can I say? As far as you're concerned, I'm guilty.

Look at the photos, Iffy!

I was just dancing with a friend, Mom.

But that's not what it looks like.

You only get one chance at life, Ifeoma. Do you want to mess it up?

It was just a dance.

Then why is it on the front of the newspapers?

Because I'm the daughter of the state governor.

Exactly!

You have to think carefully before you go and do stupid things like that,

because, like it or not, we all live under a microscope.

So, you mean, I can't live like a normal girl anymore

just because my mom's governor?

Among other things, yes!

And that dance, that twerking,

it's simulated sex on the dance floor, Ifeoma.

I brought you up better than that.

It's not fair! I didn't ask for this!

I didn't get a say whether you became governor or not.

Don't be childish.

Life happens, and we adapt.

I have a responsibility to this state and to this office.

What about me?

What do you mean what about you?

Nothing has changed.

But from now on, refrain from doing anything that will embarrass this family.

Can I go back to school now?

Yes, you can go.

But from now on, watch the people you hang around with.

So, you're now going to censor my friends too?

What do you think?

Because of your status, you're going to attract people

who are around you because of what they can get.

I mean, what kind of friend would post that picture online

or sell it to the newspapers?

Iffy.

Okay, ma. Goodbye, ma.

Iffy.

Iffy!

[sighs]

-[sighs] -How'd it go?

Not well.

Hey, boo.

You're looking good.

What's wrong?

-I trusted you, Carl. -What did I do?

The picture you took of me last night, it's all over the Internet.

Don't tell me you haven't read the headlines.

-I haven't seen it. Been indoors all day. -Carl, someone took that picture!

My mom is freaking out about it!

Just calm down, look.

I would never do that to you. I would never betray your trust.

Carl, you were the only one who took that picture.

No one else.

[Carl scoffs]

-I think I know what happened. -I don't care. What's done is done.

Iffy, look. Wait.

Let me make it up to you, okay? I'm sorry.

[sniffles]

My mom was right.

This... us...

it's not going to work.

What-- What are you talking about?

[sniffles] It's over, Carl.

It can never be the same again.

You're breaking up with me?

I still love you.

But I don't trust you anymore.

And without trust... what's left?

I'm in over my head, David.

I'm drowning.

You're trying too hard.

I'm trying not to, but it's just...

It's like running a rigged race.

You want to ask yourself, what's the point?

I'll be back home late tomorrow.

Kassim will be visiting the day after,

and I want to make sure everything is in place.

Shouldn't it be the chief of staff

or the commissioner for special duties handling that?

No, I want to handle this personally.

Kassim is an important ally to have,

and it is important to be in his good books.

Oh. Yeah...

-[sighs] -Walking down memory lane?

She was the most... beautiful, talented child ever.

She still is.

But we're fighting, David.

I'm fighting with you, I'm fighting with her,

I feel like I'm fighting everybody.

Hey. But you're human.

[sniffling]

I'm supposed to be strong.

You've been thrown in at the deep end.

You're not doing too badly.

I'm so tired, David.

Yeah.

Carl, honey, what happened? What's wrong?

Nothing, Mom. I just came to give Dad the good news.

What good news?

Iffy Ochello just broke up with me.

Why? What happened?

Dad's henchman, Musa, you know,

the man you gave access to every room in this house...

he took pictures of Iffy at a private party

and he posted it all over the net!

What? Friday, is that true?

I did not ask Musa to take any pictures,

nor asked him to put anything on the Internet.

But I must commend his initiative.

Friday!

Tell you what.

Go get a shower, a hot shower.

Hmm? You'll feel better.

Hmm? And then I'll give you a nice relaxing massage.

Hmm? When you're done.

I am sorry about the Ochello girl.

It is collateral damage.

But there are many fish in the sea.

I'm sure you'll get another one very soon.

Friday, are you listening to yourself?

This is war!

It is one I intend to win, and there will be casualties.

And this is just the beginning.

Our party's national chairman is coming into town

the day after tomorrow.

It's going to cost us 30 million.

Wow.

Well, our country has always had the largest entourages.

I don't believe it.

I'm serious.

Global Politics Today, issue 74.

The largest in the world?

You wait till you have to travel.

And then see how many people need to go with you.

Oh. No way am I going anywhere with a large entourage.

That, Your Excellency, remains to be seen. [chuckles]

This is going to be the mother of all visits.

At the end of this visit, Kassim will know who his real friends are

in this administration.

What is the matter?

Um, Friday, please sit down.

You remember how I warned you against using Carl

to get information from Iffy about her mother?

I did not ask Musa to take those pictures.

He saw an opportunity and picked it.

Friday...

You will one day become governor of this state,

of that, I have absolutely little doubt.

My fear is, will the gain be worth the pain?

Is it because of that silly little girl?

No, because of this "whatever it takes" approach.

You're losing your son, Friday,

and for every day of hurt, something inside him starts to die.

-He is also my son. -Yes.

And if you're not careful,

you will wake up one day to find out why he is incapable of loving you.

You have to draw the line somewhere, Friday.

Keep our family out of your politics,

and make your home a sanctuary.

And as for Musa...

He's to never, ever set his foot in my house again.

[knocking]

Yes?

[guard in Pidgin] Sir, it's me, security.

[muttering indistinctly]

[TV chatter continues]

Sir...

Sorry, sir, it's just that you're a cool guy,

-that's why I'm telling you this-- -[in English] What do you want?

[in Pidgin] Sir, the manager says

if you don't pay your outstanding by tomorrow morning, we are to evict you.

When did he say that?

Not too long ago. He just left.

Hmm. [sniffles]

Anyway, thank you. Thanks.

What?

You know what? I'll sort you out later, okay?

Okay.

[TV chatter continues]

[Paul] Yeah.

[sighs]

[birds chirping]

-[David] Hi. -Morning.

[David grunts]

-Where's Iffy? -Oh, she's getting dressed.

-Morning, everyone. -[David] Ah.

-[Toju] Morning, Grandma. -[Diane] Aww.

-You're growing more handsome each day. -Thank you.

You're acting more like him every passing day. [laughs]

Your Excellency.

Would you like some... some breakfast?

I'm okay, darling.

Ah, I'm on a white fruit diet. You should try it.

[cell phone rings]

Morning, Henry.

When did it start?

Really?

Okay. I'll meet you in the office shortly.

And please, get the commissioner for police to come and brief me.

Okay.

What happened?

A fight has broken out overnight between the Kanuris and the Egbas.

And there are many casualties.

Twelve have been confirmed dead so far, and many are wounded.

Morning, Dad.

-Grandma! -Iffy.

Oh, you look lovely.

Thanks, Grandma.

-Morning, Ma. -Iffy.

I have to go to campus, Grandma. So, see you later.

-[Diane] Mm-hmm. -[Iffy] Bye, Dad.

Yeah. Bye, baby.

I've got to get something upstairs.

-I'll be back. -[David] Mm-hmm.

[sighs]

Hi, Paul.

No, today's not good. There's too much happening.

Can we try for Friday, or early next week?

Okay.

Okay, bye.

All right, would someone tell me what on earth is going on?

What do you mean?

Iffy, what's the matter with her?

-Um-- -Iffy is being a normal teenager, Mom.

There's an issue between the two of you, isn't there?

Why don't you let me help you?

With all due respect, Mom,

you are in no position to be making demands.

It's my house, my daughter, and my problem.

That's the problem with you, Angela.

You think you know it all, abi?

[scoffs] Well, a little parenting advice wouldn't hurt.

-Parenting advice? -Yes.

-From who? You? -Angela, come on.

I might not have been perfect, but--

Perfect? You, Mom?

Ha! That is the understatement of the century.

Angela, that's enough.

I've got to go. Talk to you later.

What's eating her?

Uh, she's just been under a lot of pressure at work.

Uh-uh, even if she's been under a lot of pressure,

why should she...

So, let me see if I've got this right.

You're telling me that all of those people died

because of a border that doesn't even officially exist?

It's a long story, ma'am.

But it doesn't make sense.

Centuries ago, a Kanuri man allegedly married an Egba woman,

he then abandoned her and took a Kanuri bride,

leaving the Egba woman and their children to die in the forest.

So this is about something that happened centuries ago?

Inter-tribal resentments have long memories.

And that is the root of the animosity.

When the two tribes came together under one state,

there was an unwritten rule that each tribe

would stay on their side of the fence.

[Angela] Okay. Your Excellency?

Your Excellency.

Oh! Uh, sorry, sorry.

We... We have business interests in the region.

Tensions have always been high,

and I think any long-term solutions must tackle the issue of trust.

And history.

Not to talk of those who would like the situation to remain as it is

because of their selfish gains.

Fine.

Ahmed, it'd be great if you could head up a team

to explore long-term solutions to the problem.

I'm sure Henry will assist.

Sure, no problem.

-I'd like that, Your Excellency. -Good.

Commissioner, in the meantime,

we cannot have jungle justice being meted out in the state.

We have to find the culprits and bring them to justice.

We have already made some arrests, Your Excellency.

And, um, our investigations are ongoing.

We have also deployed two anti-riot tanks and three truckloads of mobile policemen

to the affected areas to maintain peace.

I hope the police presence will not aggravate the situation.

Uh, there's always that risk.

But my men have been given strict instructions

not to engage any parties, except under the threat of life.

Oh, very good. Please, if there's anything else,

do not hesitate to contact me.

I won't. Thank you, Your Excellency.

-[phone ringing] -You're welcome. One moment.

Hello? Okay. We're on our way.

Alhaji Kassim is here.

Please, I want a half-hourly update on the situation down there.

Yes, Your Excellency.

Let's go and greet our guest.

-Your Excellency. -Your Excellency.

Your Excellency. May I present our esteemed party chairman,

Alhaji Yinusa Kassim.

Welcome, Your Excellency.

Welcome to Savannah State, Alhaji.

It is indeed an honor to have you here.

Good to see you again, Your Excellency.

This is Deputy Governor Ahmed Jalo.

You're very welcome, Alhaji.

Ahmed, or should I say, Your Excellency.

[all chuckling]

-Congratulations. -[Ahmed] Thank you.

And this is Henry Duke, my chief of staff.

Mr. Duke. I've heard a lot of good things about you.

Thank you, sir. And, please, let me know if there's anything I can do

to make your stay more comfortable.

Thank you.

Commissioner Friday Bello is certainly extending your generous hospitality to us.

[Angela] Mm-hmm.

I haven't seen you since you were a boy.

-How are your parents? -They are very well, thank you.

Come.

Let's sit down and talk.

Your Excellency, old habits die hard.

You mean like bad manners? I'm sure even the press noticed it.

We can handle the press.

He was rude, Henry,

and I have a mind to walk up to him and tell him exactly how I feel about it.

No. Don't worry, I won't.

But given the emergency situation in the state at the moment,

perhaps I can be excused from attending the dinner in the chairman's honor.

Your Excellency, you are the host.

It would be regarded as an extreme insult,

and you will play right into Friday Bello's hands!

Please inform the deputy governor

that he may be standing in for me at the reception.

There was nothing I could do, Mr. Duke.

Please, call me Henry.

I've never felt so embarrassed in all my life.

Welcome to politics.

Is Her Excellency upset?

Well, let's just say, she could be happier.

Do you want me to talk to her?

No, no. She understands it's not your fault.

Look, you're doing fine. Don't worry about it.

[sighs] Thank you.

By the way, you could be standing in for the governor at the dinner tonight.

What?

We are doing our best to make sure that contractors are paid promptly

on completion of their contracts.

God bless you for that.

What is this?

Um, Your Excellency, a token of appreciation.

Chief Ekpo, under this administration,

invoices will be paid on time.

Bribes and kickbacks will not be tolerated.

Your Excellency, our elders say, "A child that must show gratitude,

must be sure to receive another."

I understand, Chief, and it is very true.

But I have a different approach.

I think that the contractor who does a good and diligent job,

will surely be called back to execute another.

Hmm...

Thank you. God bless you.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Oh.

Any news?

Commissioner Badu just confirmed that the death toll is now 40 so far,

-and four of them are policemen. -No...

It looks like the mobile police were drawn into a fight,

making the situation even worse.

I told Commissioner Badu to avoid the use of force.

Your Excellency, settling them will work faster.

I wouldn't go that far, Henry.

It's an abuse of government funds,

and it's the very thing I'm fighting against.

Okay. There's another way, but it has a condition.

What's that?

You have to go to the dinner tonight.

[men arguing]

Gentlemen, enough!

We have an option here, gentlemen.

Either we arrest the leadership of both tribes

and hold you personally responsible for the bloodshed...

Eh, if the governor wants war, we will give her war!

-Or... -Uh-uh.

Or you accept Her Excellency's generous offer

of a plot of land each in the Paradise Estate...

and a flat each in the newly-constructed Castle View Estate.

[sucks teeth]

The same Castle View Estate?

[sucks teeth] Well, fine estate. The estate is fine.

Okay, and within the estate, each of you will have a street named after you.

And all we ask for, gentlemen,

is that this fighting comes to an end immediately.

Please.

[sucks teeth]

Do we have a deal, gentlemen?

-Your Excellency. -Good evening, Henry.

May I say, you look lovely tonight.

Thank you. Is Alhaji Kassim here yet?

Yes, he arrived a few minutes ago.

-Professor. -Hello.

Good evening. Good to see you. This way, please.

[Kassim clearing throat]

Ladies and gentlemen.

It has indeed been a turbulent period for the people of this state,

with the loss of your former governor,

an illustrious son of the land whose shoes will be impossible to fill.

[Gbenga laughing] Mr. Chairman, sir!

-Your Excellency. -Mr. Chairman.

Now, that was a heartfelt address.

Hmm. One I hope did not cause offense.

Especially my comment about Peter's shoes.

Not at all, sir.

Especially as I intend to create even bigger shoes.

Hmm. Have you seen the Jalos?

Maybe you should check the bar.

I will. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, sir. [laughing]

-Great reply. -[both laugh]

[woman] Hello.

-Hi. -Hi.

-Do you mind if I... -Oh, not at all. Not at all. [chuckles]

-They're bright, aren't they? -Yeah.

Like diamonds in the sky.

-[David] Hmm, uh-huh. -[laughs]

Connie Jones, lobbyist. Or at least I'm trying to be.

David.

David Ochello. Lecturer. Or at least trying to be.

-Nice to meet you. -[laughing] The pleasure is mine.

So what's your specialty?

Uh, political science. I'm a professor at the university.

Very nice.

[both laughing]

Excuse me, sir. Sorry to interrupt.

-Yes, Henry. -The governor wants you.

Is there a problem, Henry?

Oh, no. It's just that the party Chairman would like to meet you.

Oh.

Your Excellency, your husband is an extraordinary man.

I hope you avail yourself of his wise counsel regularly.

As a revered scholar once said,

"She who seeks the wise counsel of her husband

will hardly go wrong in her decisions."

-[David] Thank you. -Thank you, David.

-Good night. -[David] Good night.

I'll be on my way, Your Excellency.

Enjoy your evening.

-Let me see you out. -Oh, that would be great.

-Yes. Good night. -[Kassim] Good night.

Hi. Um...

I'm really sorry. I didn't know who you were.

Oh. Well...

All the stars are the same in the sky, aren't they?

[chuckles]

-But we all know they're different. -Right.

Look, um, I've got to go.

I'm not really good with late nights, anyway.

Nice meeting you.

Likewise. I'll see you around.

You know, if you weren't the First Gentleman of the state,

I probably would have asked for your number.

How about you give me yours instead, Connie?

You made quite an impression on the chairman.

[chuckles]

I'm going to get a drink. Do you want anything?

Oh, no. Thank you. I'll pass.

Okay.
