-------------------------------------------------------
Previously, Fox News reporter, Lowell Wrent, arrived at the campaign headquarters to interview the candidate and staff. Detectives from Fine Investigations are looking for GED, who no one knows has been taken away by DED.
The scene opens with Lowell Wrent interviewing a staff member individually.
Lowell : (across from LorDee) You are a rising alternative in a season where people want more choices for leadership. What is your motivation.
LorDee : I feel that the United States needs what I offer. The current division of courts, legislation, and executive branches has become compromised; they are mired in an immobile sludge of improbable options.
Lowell : How would you lead us out of that?
LorDee : As President I would bring a tighter schedule to all of these currently dead branches of government.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the building.
Zora : I have never fallen into a relationship so quickly.
Felix : So many women, so little time.
Zora : What! Do you consider me some kind of quickie conquest?
Felix : Not yet, but I feel we are going in the right direction.
Zora : You are a pig!
Felix : But what a pig, right?
Meanwhile...
Lowell : (across from AB) I have heard you are known as the dirty tricks guy.
AB: It is a necessary skill that helps level the playing field.
Lowell : What types of things have you done?
AB: Some will have to be secret forever, but others I can reveal now.
Lowell : I will only report what you tell me or whatever I want.
AB: I tied knots in everyone's shoes at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Meanwhile elsewhere.
Betty: I can't tell you how scared I was when you were missing, Ned.
Ned : I wish I could amember where I was win you was so ascared, Betty.
Betty: I hope GED is alright.
Ned : He's lots smarter than me, so he kin handle whatsever goin' on.
Betty: You are so kind and sweet, Ned. I think I'm falling for you.
Ned : I fall sometimes too.
Lowell : (across from Zora) I thought you might be LorDee's VP.
Zora : I have bigger plans for our country and myself than a stuffed shirt in a back office.
Lowell : I have heard you plan to aggressively replace as many staff as possible with people of color.
Zora : Time's up, Lowell.
Lowell : So, white folk need not apply then?
Zora : That would be wrong, Lowell.
Lowell : I have to agree.
Zora : Of course you have to, Mein Herr.
