Timothy Carhart: A.G. Stewart

Quotes 

• Governor Lynelle Perry : We've been waiting a long time for this, Jamie. And you, what a surprise. I had no idea you were interested in politics.

  Beth Dutton : I'm not.But what daddy wants, daddy gets, right?

  Governor Lynelle Perry : Our plan is this. Mike announces his decision not to run. At the same time, he endorses you as his choice to succeed him. Christina interned for Chris Messina in 2012. Obama's campaign manager.

  Jamie Dutton : I know who he is.

  Beth Dutton : Of course you do.

  A.G. Stewart : She's been staffed with us for three years and was instrumental in our gain of five seats in the Assembly in 2016. We think she'd be a great asset to your campaign.

  Christina : I'm really excited to get started.

  Jamie Dutton : Well, I'm happy to have you on the team.

  Beth Dutton : Can my whore be a 6-foot fireman who loves Jesus?Please?

  Governor Lynelle Perry : The Dutton name gives you the red votes.Mike's endorsement gives you the blue votes.

  Jamie Dutton : So you want me to run as an independent?That opens me up to opposition from both parties. And it limits the possibilities for an office beyond this one.

  A.G. Stewart : Let's just worry about winning this office for now. There's a value to the independent party that didn't exist ten years ago.

  Governor Lynelle Perry : The partisan lines are drawn so deep.The only way to get anything accomplished is with a swing vote. Party members don't get those.

  A.G. Stewart : It's the new trend because it benefits both parties.

  Governor Lynelle Perry : If you run independent, run unopposed.

  A.G. Stewart : Both party chairs have pledged that.

  Beth Dutton : So, if he's running unopposed, why does he need this little firecracker?Or do these kind of perks come with the office?

  Governor Lynelle Perry : Can I have a word with Beth alone?

• A.G. Stewart : What are you thinking?

  Governor Lynelle Perry : I'm thinking she can't be controlled.

  A.G. Stewart : I could've told you that. Second thoughts on Jamie, too?

  Governor Lynelle Perry : Well, Jamie's a politician and a realist. That's not the office I'm thinking about. John's making bad decisions. The way he handled the BLM issue was reckless. The way he covered it up was more reckless. Asking me to consider his daughter for any public office? He's just not adapting. If anything, he's regressing. He's acting like it's 1985, and no one's looking over our shoulder.

  A.G. Stewart : Supporting another candidate for Livestock Commissioner is the nuclear option, Lynelle. You obviously lose the crossover votes he provides. You make an enemy out of your new AG.

  Governor Lynelle Perry : No, you'd have to stick around.

  A.G. Stewart : Don't put me in that position.

  Governor Lynelle Perry : All right, let's just not jump to any conclusions. But if we backed someone else, who would that someone be?

  A.G. Stewart : Let's think about that.
