Transcript:

Lacey: What a dreadful contract! Not a word about bringing back good manners! Bomb / Gingrich: Lacey! Lacey: Why, Newt, dear - was my door open. Bomb / Gingrich: Who cares? I need you! Lacey: Dear man, weren't you ever taught not to barge into a lady's chambers unannounced? Bomb / Gingrich: No time for niceties! I'm setting up a new committee to make congressional hours less stressful on our families! Lacey: Correct me if I'm wrong, Newt, but weren't you a highly vocal critic of the Family Leave Act? Bomb / Gingrich: I don't take your point. Lacey: And do you really think someone with a lurid history of divorce, child support and alimony problems should be leading this effort? Bomb / Gingrich: Hey! Lots of normal Americans have problematic personal lives! Lacey: Maybe, Newt, but they're not all posing as the righteous new face of American family values! Good day, sir! Bomb / Gingrich: Why, you hippie! Traitor! McGov... Lacey: Don't you snap at me, young man! Who raised you, wolves?
