00:23:43 There's an article
00:23:50 Well, I know you, too,

00:25:29 Now I ask you,
00:25:33 By keeping it alive,
00:25:36 Well, you see,
00:25:39 I'm more of a 20-percenter.
00:25:45 Professional football
00:25:47 and investing in
00:25:52 Dodge,
00:25:54 we had some laughs
00:25:57 You had some laughs.
00:25:58 (CHUCKLING) Yes.
00:26:00 Yes, I guess I did.
00:26:04 So...
00:26:05 Okay.

00:26:39 Sometimes.
00:26:40 Follow you around?
00:26:43 It happens, yeah,
00:26:45 You feel like sometimes
00:26:49 And how are you compensated
00:26:54 By paying tuition
00:27:05 Let me ask you a question.
00:27:08 I love playing football.
00:27:09 Good. You got one more year
00:27:13 What are you gonna do then?
00:27:15 Actually, I've already
00:27:17 I have a position
00:27:19 when I get my law degree.
00:27:21 It turns out,
00:27:26 You... That's good. It's good.
00:27:29 And all of that
00:27:33 But the world's
00:27:35 In football,

00:28:40 That's right.
00:28:42 of a guarantee. Plus I get
00:28:45 Of course.

00:32:09 Good evening.
00:32:10 Yes, it is.
00:32:11 You know,
00:32:14 coming from the man

00:32:24 You see, Miss Littleton,
00:32:27 I want to make sure
00:32:30 I resent the implication
00:32:31 Lexie,
00:32:32 Carter is good
00:32:35 Good for the Tribune,
00:32:39 Good for you.
00:32:41 (SPEAKING SOFTLY) Lexie...
00:32:44 I'm having a conversation
00:32:47 and she and I were wondering
00:32:51 Good night, CC.
00:32:52 Good night, Lexie.
00:33:00 What?
00:33:02 I think I'll sleep

00:33:44 Don't be.
00:33:47 Which part?
00:33:49 The "kick in the head" part.
00:33:51 It's forgotten.
00:33:54 I'm sorry if what I said
00:33:56 DODGE: Don't be.
00:33:59 Which part?
00:34:00 The "tallest midget" part.

00:49:08 to get us out of there.
00:49:12 All through the night
00:49:16 Sitting ducks.
00:49:22 That, and the drinking...

00:50:44 CARTER: Let the chips fall
00:50:47 And then the story got bigger.
00:50:50 The President
00:50:52 I would have made liars
00:50:55 We were stuck.
00:50:56 That's a lot of responsibility
00:51:00 I grew up pretty fast.
00:51:05 It's quite a story.
00:51:07 And now you know.
00:51:12 Are we still friends?
00:51:25 There's this one joint

00:52:46 I won't tell if you don't.
00:52:50 Let me introduce you
00:52:53 A pleasure.
00:52:55 I have to pee.
00:52:59 Enchanting girl.
00:53:03 She is 21 .
00:53:05 I meant her lQ.
00:53:06 I wasn't planning
00:53:08 No? What were you planning
00:53:11 You know, the usual.
00:53:13 Put her in shoulder pads
00:53:16 I think somebody
00:53:17 She'll do well in Congress.
00:53:19 You're only as young
00:53:21 How quiet it must be
00:53:28 So, are you flying solo,
00:53:32 What do you care?
00:53:36 It wouldn't look good
00:53:39 I'd dare say it wouldn't
00:53:50 Maybe I shall
00:53:56 Maybe Monday
00:54:00 Come on, let's dance.
00:54:05 Hey.
00:54:09 Come on.
00:54:11 Maybe Tuesday
00:54:15 Will be my good news day

00:55:04 So much so
00:55:06 that he felt compelled
00:55:12 You mean he didn't take out
00:55:25 He'll look at me and smile
00:55:29 I'll understand
00:55:34 That in a little while
00:55:37 He'll take my hand
00:55:42 And though it seems absurd
