Road to the White House

BOB:
We have to go to this.

MATTHEW:
We do not have to go to this.

BOB:
It's a critical campaign event.  We have to shoot this.

MATTHEW:
We have to shoot a pig roast?

BOB:
Yes.  This is the day that he turns it around.  This is the day that he goes into double digits.

MATTHEW:
He isn't in single digits.

BOB:
You have to walk before you can spit.

MATTHEW:
You said it yourself.  We're not going to get funding for the film unless it looks like he's going to win.

BOB:
He could still win.  Think positive.  There's South Carolina.

MATTHEW:
He's going to win South Carolina like you're going to stop stealing your mother's Vicodin.

BOB:
It's still valuable footage.

MATTHEW:
What are we going to do with 845 hours of Duncan Hunter?

BOB:
That's the whole point.  We're the only people who have it.  Nobody else has it.

MATTHEW:
Nobody else wants it.  Why couldn't you have gotten Clinton, or Romney even.

BOB:
They were taken.  They already have film crews.  I mean really good film crews, like with equipment and everything.  One of them has their own van.  They have like experience and connections.  The dude who got Obama went to NYU.

MATTHEW:
He went to NYU Dental School.

BOB:
Still, it was NYU.

 MATTHEW:
Why would you pick Duncan Hunter?

BOB:
Anybody can make a hit film with a winner.

MATTHEW:
I don't believe this.  You picked a loser on purpose?

 BOB:
I am a filmmaker.

MATTHEW:
We know that, Bob.

BOB:
That's BQ.  I told you to call me BQ.

MATTHEW:
Your name is Bob.

 BOB:
Successful people are not named Bob.  People named Bob do not change the ground they walk on.

 MATTHEW:
You're a gardener now?  I thought you wanted to make movies.

 BOB:
I thought you had a commitment.  I thought you wanted to do something important.

MATTHEW:
Duncan Hunter is not important.  Me losing six months of my life with frost bite and no pay is important.

BOB:
Alright, I wasn't going to talk to you about this now, but if you stick with the film through the Republican Convention, I have this incredible documentary lined up.  And for sure there's going to be funding.

MATTHEW:
What is it.

BOB:
Beginning in July, we have unlimited access to the training camp of the Kansas City Chiefs second string kicking team.
