I've taken to changing the channel when he shows up.

Probably a good idea. I just feel uncomfortable watching all the anchors make fun of him. Even if he is... well, strange.

Strange doesn't cover it. Deranged does a bit better.

I'm Daphne.

[Laughing, trying to take the edge off.} Well... Americans and their politicians... 'S a bit of a trend...

Nice to meet you, Miss Daphne. I'm Tony.

Nice to meet you, Tony.

The lovely senator has me insanely tempted to move back to France.

Oh, you've lived in France? I always imagine it being as nice as the movies...

--Well, aside from just having a... a bit of a disconcerting air about him, I don't know what he does, aside from making ill-advised comments to reporters...

It's what he's good at.

Really. What's even scarier is that you can tell it's not a publicity stunt.

He grew up to be no better than his dad. That guy always did scare me.

Oh, I didn't know his father was in politics too. I must not be paying enough attention.

Not exactly, but I know the family. Trust me, you're better off not knowing about them.

[Clueless and assuming she's talking about your average political scandals] Oh, really? So you're a lawyer or an aide or something like that, then? It's not often that I meet any of the foreign political elite, heh.

I'm Tony, by the way. Awfully rude of me not to introduce myself.

I'm definitelyl not a lawyer. I guess aide would be a little closer.

Nice to meet you, Tony. I'm Elle.

Well, Miss Elle, if you're an aide from the big city, then you probably won't find me very interesting to talk to, I'm afraid.

I'm sure that's not true.

So, what's you're problem with the Senator?

It's odd--he just seems like a frightening kind of person, but then again, I don't like seeing people mock him. I'm just hoping for another celebrity to do something silly so we don't have to see him anymore.

Other than being a little....naive isn't the right word, but it's the closest I can get....Nathan himself isn't dangerous. It's who he's set loose we need to worry about.

I... --What? Has he... I don't know, been pardoning serial murders--?

Not exactly. And normal people have nothing to worry about.

He's always on the news.

I almost wish for his sake he'd just keep his mouth shut. It makes me nervous to watch.

He's the golden boy, might take awhile. Why does it make you nervous?

Well, aside from all his... open conservatism, he's just got the strangest intense stare. I can't really put my finger on it.

I guess it's a sad world when we're frightened by politicans who are honest, but there you go.

I wouldn't be frightened of him because he's honest, he's not. Not really.

...I can't imagine why a person so important would pretend to have opinions that would make him unpopular like that.

Maybe he was raised to have those beliefs? It could be a lot of things.
