Jones. It’s all over, Mr. President. I’ve just received word that Chief Justice Fossile of the Supreme Court, accompanied by the Senate Committee on Inefficiency, is on his way to the White House.
Jerry sits down, completely overcome. Jones retires.
Snooks. They goin’ to throw you out on your ear, eh?
Jerry [brooding]. It’s that low, mean bunch of people out in Idaho.
Snooks, who has been ruminating on the situation, comes to a decision.
Snooks. Look at here, Mr. President, I’m goin’ to help you out. I’ll pass up that five million bucks and we’ll make a straight swap of the Buzzard Islands for the State of Idaho.
Jerry [in amazement]. You’ll give me the Buzzard Islands for the State of Idaho?
Snooks nods. Jerry wrings his hand in great emotion.
At this point Charlotte comes out of the White House. At the sight of the Honorable Snooks a somewhat disapproving expression passes over her face.
