Cyrus Beene : The problem is, he's not using me like he's supposed to. I'm the guard dog, I'm the bad cop, I'm the dragon that gets released. I run the meetings and make the calls and help him come to decisions. Except I'm not. He's isolating himself. He's shutting me out. He's running for the country, for real, on his own.

Mellie Grant : A-all set for the christening tomorrow?
