It's called the what? The peach what?
The Peachoid. It's a giant water tower in the shape of a peach.
I just googled it. "The Peachoid."
She was 17, Linda.
You're right. I'm sorry.
I need another week. -
No, that's not going to work.
The president makes his speech on Tuesday. We've already announced.
Speeches can be rescheduled.
We have to show some progress on education, Frank. The first hundred days is almost over. If we push back the speech, it'll look like we're spinning our wheels.
All right, I'll work something out. Thank you, Linda.

Frank, these are the heads of the two largest teachers unions in the country.
I understand. -
They flew here on a weekend.
Doug will lead the charge. Congressman Phillips is well vetted--
They flew here to see you, Frank. You're managing this bill.
Put this in the other bag. And I'll be in constant communication. Anything big comes up, I'm a phone call away.
It's a 300-page document. We need you in that room.
I would stay if I could, but this is my home district. Now, Marty, cut me a little slack here. We'll get it done. You and I go way back. Have I ever let you down?
No, you haven't.
And I don't intend to start now.

Hello?
Gillian? -
Claire.
It's so nice to finally meet you.
Yeah-- I'm a little under the weather. I don't want to get you sick.
Well, if you're feeling ill, we can--
No, no, no, I'm fine. It's just a cold.
Well, thank you for coming in.
Of course.
Shall we talk in my office?
These are really cool photographs.
Oh, thank you. Adam Galloway took the pictures. Have you heard of him?
No.
I met him at the Whitney biennial a couple years ago and commissioned him to do these. He just had a big show at PS1.
I'm not up to date on the art world.
That's all right. We're not here to talk about photography. Are we? My office is over here.
