Getting Together
JUSTICE
Listen! We go in there in a few minutes. Now with A, they’ll try to ram through
the politics. We can afford to meet them halfway. It’s weak law anyway.
With B it’s more like fogbound law. Nobody has ever figured that freakin
thing out. Judges are push-pull. At any rate, we’ll let Administration have all
of B or more. It’s Theater of the Absurd.
Now C we gotta stand up for. No choice! Or we have no raison d’etre. When all is said and done, we must finally fulfill our duty for Justice. What the country believes in. What history sanctions.
Back seat for politics there. Way way back! Future depending on us.

ADMINISTRATION
Gentlemen! We can zip through all of this tout suite! We gotta have A to
fuck the opposition, simple as that. They’ve taken to trying to fuck us,
so they gotta learn. Such balls!
JUSTICE
We can’t go all the way on that one. Sorry.
ADMINISTRATION
That’s what the Vegas whores say, until you whip it out. American Express
that is! But don’t worry about A. We’ll consult with you right after we act.
JUSTICE
Somewhat reasonable. But that’s last deal we can make.
ADMINISTRATION
Except we need elbow room on B. Some very fine points we...
JUSTICE
You can have all of B.
ADMINISTRATION
You grow in stature by the minute. We want C too. Unfortunately.
JUSTICE
No way there. Settled law of the land. We can’t lose all honor on that one!
You’ll hafta back completely off! Completely! There is a Trust from our
ancestors, even back to Magna Carta! Let alone The Constitution.
Supreme Court’ll hand you your head!
ADMINISTRATION
Hey, one more appointment there, it’s Golden Asshole.
JUSTICE
That’s where you’re wrong. No matter the appointee. The historical glory of this nation...!
ADMINISTRATION
You see a podium here? Platform? This is a no-speech zone. I have Senators in here and I shut them up too.
JUSTICE
I know we all hafta play ball with one hand, but with the other...!
ADMINISTRATION
You can jerk off. You’re fired! Now get the fuck out, to put it politely.
JUSTICE
I can go to the press!
ADMINISTRATION
You won’t go anywhere. Why the fuck you think we picked you in the first place?
