00:00Why did we come here and just cut ourselves off from the rest of the world?
00:11When I was in my political heyday, this right here was the only refuge I had.
00:19I never thought that life would end, that one day I'd be alone.
00:30Hard times are supposed to bring families together.
00:33Funerals and elections bring us together.
00:35I did everything within my power.
00:38You blame him, don't you?
00:39What happens when a politician retires?
00:41Do the lobbyists get together and get you a gold watch?
00:44You've been here five minutes and already you're popping off.

00:56He lost his son.

01:08Mom was responsible for Daddy losing the election?
01:10She was.
01:11That's crazy.
01:12She is.
01:13Mrs. Brooks!
01:14Get away from there!
01:18All I've ever done is try to keep this family together.
01:23I wanted you to need me, I wanted you to love me.
01:27I lost my soul in the South Pacific.
01:30And if something's going on behind my back, I want to know about it!
01:37This is where you belong.
01:41Your roots.
01:44Your family.
01:47Right here.
01:49Nowhere else.
