[00:41.98]剧情
[01:04.96]And to what do I owe this honor?
[01:07.77]To the vote on the Senate floor this afternoon.
[01:11.70]Look, I get it.
[01:13.13]The vote comes down to me, I vote ''no.''
[01:15.90]It'll get done.
[01:17.11]Well, actually,
[01:17.88]we are going to need you to vote ''yes'' on this one.
[01:23.67]I want to make sure I heard you straight.
[01:26.26]You want me to vote
[01:27.18]on the environmentalists' side?
[01:29.84]This isn't about a vote.
[01:31.73]This is about you and how you look to voters.
[01:34.73]Now, we have a nation that is growing
[01:36.09]increasingly hungry for alternate energy.
[01:38.47]So if you come across as more centrist,
[01:40.54]you'll appeal to the broader swath of the electorate,
[01:42.92]the very people who will get you elected next year.
[01:49.50]Besides, once that bill hits the President's desk, he'll veto it.
[01:52.26]Then we'll get precisely
[01:53.01]what we always wanted anyway, won't we?
