She's Not Stupid



RICKY:
I cannot believe you, Isabelle. I cannot believe you.

ISABELLE:
What.

RICKY:
We are women.  We are both women.

ISABELLE:
So?

RICKY:
So why aren't you for Hillary?  She needs you.

ISABELLE:
She'll have to make do without me.

RICKY:
I cannot believe you won't work with me on the campaign.  This is my first staff job and I can't even get my best friend to volunteer?

ISABELLE:
I want to support you, Ricky, but....

RICKY:
This is important.  This is the future of the entire world.  And probably even more than that.

ISABELLE:
I'm just not ready to commit.  It's more than a year away.

RICKY:
It is not more than a year away.  There are primaries in February.  February, Isabelle.  What are you going to wear?

ISABELLE:
I'm not going. RICKY:  You're not going?  You have to go.  Figure it out.  Who are you supporting?

ISABELLE:
I don't know.  I was thinking maybe Richardson.

RICKY:
Richardson who?  Are you totally fronting?  We have to win.  If we don't elect Hillary, who's going to be the first woman president?

ISABELLE:
Well I don't think that.....

RICKY:
Yes, yes, I know what you're going to say.  But the Dixie Chicks are not ready.  Besides, there are too many of them to be one president, so they'd have to break up, which would be a disaster.

ISABELLE:
What is Hillary doing about the war?

RICKY:
What do you expect her to do about the war?  Get into a tank?  It would just look stupid.  Hillary is not stupid, Isabelle.  That's her main selling point.

ISABELLE:
She's never admitted that she made a mistake.

RICKY:
That's totally irrelevant.  Governing isn't about mistakes, Isabelle.  It's about governing.  That's why we need Hillary.  She knows how to hire good people.  Look at Chelsea.

ISABELLE:
She didn't hire Chelsea.  She gave birth to Chelsea.

RICKY:
It's the same idea.  She produced Chelsea.

ISABELLE:
What's so great about Chelsea?

RICKY:
She went to Stanford, for God's sake.  She's not like one of those dicks we went to college with.  She took electives.

ISABELLE:
What does that have to do with.....

RICKY:
Think of everything Hillary's gone through with her hair.  Doesn't she deserve something after all that?

ISABELLE:
You told me two weeks ago you were absolutely certain you were going to be working for Obama.  What happened?

RICKY:
Nothing.

ISABELLE:
What do you mean, nothing.

RICKY:
The Obama people fired me.  For giving cigarettes to his kids.  But that's not the point.  The point is Why aren't you for Hillary?
