DI: Just sign here. And here. And here. Perfect.
JR: Who's Kathy Santos?
DI: Oh...she's nobody. Let's just keep going.
JR: She's becoming wha? Co-signer on the political account?
DI: Oh, no. These documents are just a formality. That stupid State Board of Elections.
JR: Oh, those guys. We should launch a crusade against them. Post all their salaries in the electronic newspaper.
DI: You mean the web, Jack.
JR: You and your new-fangled inventions. I just want to post the salaries. Wait...what were we talking about?
DI: Oh, nothing Jack. Just head back into the playroom er...shop and work on those "patents".
JR: What's that noise? Sounds like one of those one of those helicopters has been buzzing around the Otto Offices all day. I can't hardly hear a thing.
DI: Helicopters? Oh...sorry. Let me put my arms down. That may have just been me flailing about for relevancy. Was it making that much noise? Anyway, wanted to give you an update on Operation: LeaderDown.
JR: On what?
DI: You know....Operation: LeaderDown. Our plan to topple Tom Cross and take over the ILGOP.
JR: LeaderDown?
DI: Yeah...I know. We needed a code name so Biver and I can talk freely because we didn't want to let Diersen in on this. We mulled Operation: DoubleCross, but we liked that for his nickname. We went through a bunch of iterations. Operation:
JR: I thought we were on McKenna and his old man.
DI: Nope. We're in July now, Jack. Even months are McKenna. Odd Months are Cross.
JR: Don't forget about the women.
DI: Right, right, right. I keep forgetting to put Judy Baar and Chris Radogno on the schedule. With so many arch-enemies these days, it's hard to figure out. I know Chris has a CPA, degree, right? He's probably good at keeping things straight.
JR: Don't you mention his name. I mean...he couldn't even take down the Milk Dud. And...he can't carry any water on my bill because just about everyone in the Senate thinks he's a jabroni. Anyway....how's the progress on the Cross stuff.
DI: Well....that depends.
JR: (interrupting) For christsakes, Douglas. If I've told you once, I've told you a thousands times. I don't need those things.
DI: No, Jack. Not Depends. I said, "It Depends".
JR: Right then. Depends on what?
DI: Depends on what you consider successful. Unfortunately, Cross has lead the charge to stop a tax increase, the stooge we thought was running against him has written him campaign checks in the past, and .......well...all of a sudden there's actual life in the ILGOP.
