In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni
The first 200 lines.
They call this a candidates' breakfast?!
Well, it can't be, Moira,
there's a woman in cargo shorts.
Twyla: Good morning, Mrs. Rose. Here's your name tag.
Oh, bless you, dear, but a name tag
does not go with this ensemble.
Oh, it's just so people know who you are.
Not that people won't know,
when they see you in that outfit.
It's very shiny.
You're too kind.
Well, I'm glad you talked me out of the Mohawk.
I think these people deserve a little glamour
in their political campaign.
I was always impressed by those masquerade key parties
at the Sarkosy's.
Roland: Hey Johnny, good morning to you.
- Roland. - How are 'ya?
And Elvis! I'm so glad you could make it.
Excuse me?!
Well, because you look like Elvis in that...
outfit there, you know, and...
but the early Elvis, not the...
- (Grunts) - Okay Roland, stop it.
Moira, all anyone can talk about is that outfit.
Hah!
You are a hit!
Huh, well no one has said as such to me.
It's just that, you know,
what you're wearing is something that people
around here aren't really used to,
or comfortable with.
But that's what makes it great.
Oh, this is going to be a fun campaign.
- Yeah, I think it already is. - Mhmm...

Bob: Hey Johnny, you know I like to keep some milk
in the fridge for myself, uh... and I noticed it uh...
- Mm, some of it was missing. - Yeah, yeah.
Well, I do admit I used a bit of your milk,
uh, to put in my coffee.
It looks more than just a bit.
I mean, the uh... the whole bottle seems to be gone.
Well... (Laughs)
Well, it was very tasty,
and naturally I'll reimburse you for it.
Alright, well, give me seven bucks, we'll call it even.
- Seven dollars?! - It's raw milk we're talking here,
it's all natural, unpasteurized,
straight from the cow's breast, to your mouth.
You paid seven dollars a bottle for this?!
- Where do you get it? - Oh, Johnny, I...
I'm not giving up my supplier. I mean, uh...
Unpasteurized milk is... illegal.
Yeah, okay, Bob, you know, I get it,
but... we're not talking heroin here.
Okay well, you know,
maybe you're used to being on the wrong side of the law,
but I for one am not going to prison.
Gwen has already told me she won't wait for me,
so I'm counting on you to be uh... discreet.
Right, okay Bob, I'll keep it on the down low.
You know, if you expect me to drive you to work,
it would be nice if you were ready on time.
I am ready!
I just have to get my jacket, change out of these shoes,
and grab my bag.
Moira: David? David!
David, I have an urgent campaign related question:
I am approachable...
- Is that a question? - Yes, the question is:
I am approachable...
That sounds more like a fact that you're sharing with me.
Are you saying you disagree?
With your statement? Um...
Well, Stevie actually is just about to drive me to work...
- Oh my God! - Sorry.
So um, maybe I could give that one a think?
Stevie! Stevie! You're an average Joe... Anne.
You must have an opinion.
- On what? - About my approachability.
Jocelyn seemed to insinuate
that I am not at one with the people.
But I've always believed that you lead
with your best foot forward, and the masses will follow!
You sound a bit like a dictator.
Oh enough, David. Stevie understands!
I'm trying to.
Yes! As a strong willed modern woman,
with a high school degree,
you know how hard we have to work to be taken seriously!
I actually went to college, but sure.
I would vote for you based solely on the fact
that you wore this outfit to the café for breakfast.
Okay.
David: You know, being approachable isn't that important anyway,
The queen hasn't smiled since the 70's,
and her birthdays are still very well attended.
Exactly! Wait.
What are you saying?
Nice bike!
Oh my go... ! Oh my god!
- Ted? - Alexis!
You look good.
Like, really good, like, super...
sun kissed, and muscle-y.
Thank you, I've been working out a bit.
And travelling, hit the beach pretty hard for a few weeks.
And boy, did it hit me back.
Good for you!
I was wondering where you ran off to.
Yeah well, it's actually kind of a funny story.
Do you remember that couples vacation that I booked for us
right before you broke off our engagement?
Again, I'm-I'm super sorry about that.
No, no, it's awesome.
'Cause they actually gave me the "Broken Hearts Special."
Three extra nights at no extra charge,
as long as I could prove that I didn't actually make it
down the aisle.
Hmm! (Laughs)
Look at you, and now you have a bike!
Yeah! Yeah, no, I got almost full price back
for the engagement ring,
and I've always wanted one of these,
and it cost less than the ring, so...
Wow! So you're in like,
a really good place right now?
Yeah, well, the beach changes you.
Oh... yeah.
How about you? What's going on?
Yeah, I've just been... super busy as well.
Oh. Yeah no, I hear that.
My day's been stacked, doing rounds to some farms,
checking on the animals, and now some house calls,
But I gotta say, it's a lot more fun
now that I've got this puppy.
Pun intended.
Look at you!
It's like if the "Sons of Anarchy" had a vet.
- (Laughs) - Yeah!
Except they don't wear helmets on that show,
Which I get, but, it's a little dangerous.
Anyway, it's great to see you, Alexis.
Totally.
Ooh! Ahem!
- David! - Jocelyn! Hi.
Are you here picking up something for yourself?
No. No, I um...
I work here now.
- Oh! - So...
I usually just come here when I need to kind of...
freshen up my wardrobe.
I see, well, enjoy.
Just looking for a few things for the campaign.
A couple of pieces that might catch the eye.
Got it.
I've got quite the stiff competition with your mother.
- Mhmm... - Of course I wouldn't want to create
a conflict of interest for you.
Got it.
Well, I have brought in some pretty decent pieces to the store,
you're just gonna have to search pretty hard for them, so...
Twyla, I was just wondering,
have you ever carried raw milk in the restaurant?
Um, that's illegal, Mr. Rose.
- Yeah. - Between us,
I had a bad experience with black market milk.
- Oh? - Granted, I bought it from a man
who I later found out was a drifter.
Anyway, it made a lot of people sick,
and I am almost positive now it wasn't cow's milk.
- Okay. - It might've been elk's milk.
Is elk's milk a thing? I don't know. I don't know.
I'm just looking for someone who sells raw milk.
From a cow.
That's a big business right now.
What's a big business right now?
- Raw milk. - Shhh!
You would make a terrible drug dealer, Mr. Rose.
You're thinking about becoming a drug dealer?
- Ugh... - I mean, I get it,
it's fast money, and no one would ever suspect you.
I'm thinking of selling raw milk.
Oh. I don't think that's right for you.
But selling drugs is?!
Okay, I had a friend in Venice Beach who sold raw milk,
and his entire compound was raided.
I mean, he also sold drugs, but like...
Well, I just think it can be... profitable,
if I can find a way to capitalize on it.
Um... oh!
I just saw Ted.
Ted knows a lot of farmers,
so maybe he can point you in the right direction.
Oh okay, good, good.
Good, maybe you can uh, give him a call?
Mm, I just feel like that'd be kind of awkward right now.
You know, your trail of discarded boyfriends, Alexis,
is making it very difficult to get anything done
