Welcome to the last of the happy songs. Admittedly, neither is ultimately very happy but still happier than the last two.

"How does Testaburger... An arrogant, Immigrant, orphan, Bastard, whore's daughter enforce Allie Nelson, her enemy, a woman she's despised since the beginning.... just to keep me from winning? I wanna be in the room where it happens," Craig states.

"The room where it happens, the room where it happens."

"You've kept me from the room where it happens for the last time!" Craig says.

He starts reading through the letters in question.

"Dear Wendy: I am slow to anger but I toe the line... as I reckon with the effects of your life on mine. I look back on where I failed and in every place I checked, the only common thread has been your disrespect! Now you call me "amoral," a "dangerous disgrace,"
If you've got something to say, name a time and place, face to face! I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant, C.Tucker."

He grabs the second one, from Wendy. A response to his edited version.

"Mr. Vice President: I am not the reason no one trusts you, no one knows what you believe. I will not equivocate on my opinion, I have always worn it on my sleeve. Even if I said what you think I said, you would need to cite a more specific grievance. Here's an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements—"

"Sweet Jesus," Craig lets out.

He skips the pages.

"Hey, I have not been shy! I am just a gal in the public eye, tryin' to do my best for our republic... I don't wanna fight but I won't apologize for doing what's right. I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant, W.Testaburger."

The letters start becoming shorter.

"Careful how you proceed, good woman! Intemperate indeed, good woman! Answer for the accusations I lay at your feet or prepare to bleed, good woman."

"Tucker, your grievance is legitimate! I stand by what I said, every bit of it! You stand only for yourself, it's what you do... I can't apologize because it's true."

"We stand, Wendy. Weehawken. Dawn. Guns. Drawn."

"You're on! I have the honour to be your obedient servant, W.Testaburger."

"I have the honour to be your obedient servant, C.Tucker."

Craig sighs.

"Dad?" Tricia asks.

Craig looks at her. Just, looks... for a while actually.

"Yeah?" He finally asks.

"I heard you," she says.

Craig sighs.

"Just...... think about whatever you will do. Please, i beg of you," Tricia says.

'I could aim at the sky but Testaburger might not and then Tricia'd be an orphan..... but if I aimed at her, kids would lose their mother... most likely thing would be that we both wound each other..... but that would leave both of us near death' Craig thinks, looking down at his hands.
