Start:
Andy: Merry Christmas and love from us all.
Melissa: Saw you on Sixty Minutes. You looked fabulous. And that was a great little pep talk in the Senate about “our responsibilities” to Latin America. But don’t forget to keep your eye on the ball.
Andy: Thanks for your card. What ball?
Melissa: The ball is that money doesn’t solve everything.

End:
Andy: … if I want to be reelected…
Melissa: … I need you. I need to be with you. I don’t know if I can…
Andy: … the election… the election… the election…
Melissa; I haven’t heard from you in six weeks, Andy.
Are you trying to tell me something, Andy?
Is this it, Andy?
