Arlo: Every action has its equal, opposite reaction. Zirian shat the bed, I love the guy, but he's in traction

Arlo: Poor John Doe, he is missing in action
So now I'm facing Keon with his own faction

Blyke: He's very attractive in the west, New Bostiners like his chances

Arlo:He's not very forthcoming on any particular stances

Blyke: Ask him a question, it glances off, he obfuscates, he dances

Arlo: And they say I'm a Francophile, at least they know I know where France is!

Sera: Arlo that's the problem, see, they see Keon as a less extreme you. You need to change course, a key endorsement might redeem you!

Arlo: Who did you have in mind?

Sera:... Don't laugh

Arlo: Who is it?

Sera: we used to go to the same school...

Arlo: What?

Sera: it might be nice, it might be nice to get John on your side!

Isen: It might be nice

Remi: it might be nice to get John on your side

Keon: Talk less (Keon!) Smile more (Keon!) Don't let 'em know what you're against or what you're for (Keon!). Shake hands with him (Keon!), Charm her (Keon!), It's eighteen hundred, ladies, tell your husbands vote for (Keon!)

Juni: I don't like Zirian

Cecile: Well, he's gonna lose, that's just defeatist

Terrence: And Arlo?

Cecile: In love with France

Gavin: Yeah, he's so elitist

Lin: I like that Keon

Melody: I can't believe we're here with him

Kassandra: He seems approachable? Like you could grab a beer with him

Dear Mr. (John) doe
Your fellow Fed'ralists would like to know how you'll be voting

dear Mr. (John) doe
Zirian doesn't stand a chance, so who are you promoting?

John: Arlo or Keon, Arlo or Keon? we know it's lose-lose!

William: Arlo or Keon? but if you had to choose my dear son. Zirian doesn't stand a chance, so who are you promoting? But if you had to choose...?

John: Well, if it isn't Keon, sir?

Keon: John!

John: You've created quite a stir, sir

Keon: I'm going door to door

John: You're openly campaigning?

Keon: Sure

John: That's new..

Keon: Honestly, it's kind of draining!

John: Keon

Keon: Sir!

John: Is there anything you wouldn't do?

Keon: No I'm chasing what I want, and you know what?

John: What?

Keon:...I learned that from you

Arlo: It's a tie!

Isen: It's up to the delegates.

William, smiling: It's up to John. If you had to choose Arlo or Keon?

John: The people are asking to hear my voice for the city is facing a difficult choice. And if you were to ask me who I'd promote... Arlo has my vote. I have never agreed with Arlo once. We have fought on like seventy-five different fronts! But when all is said and all is done...

John, looking at Arlo: Arlo has beliefs

John, looking at Keon: Keon has none

Claire: Well, I'll be damned... John's on your side.

Adrion: And?

Claire: he won in a landslide!

Keon: Congrats on a race well-run, I did give you a fight.

Arlo: Uh-huh?

Keon: I look forward to our partnership

Arlo: Our partnership?

Keon: As your second in command

Arlo: Ha-ha-ha-ha, yeah, right! You hear this guy?  Man openly campaigns against me, talkin' bout "I look forward to our partnership"

Blyke: It is crazy that the guy who comes in second gets to be second in command

Arlo: Ooh, you know what, we can change that, you know why?

Keon: why?

Arlo: 'cause I'm the chief! Keon, when you see John, thank him for the endorsement.
