The Long Goodbye
Toby: Are you scared of that promise thing?
CJ: Yes.
Toby: I lost the…uh, uh, that NEA thing you wanted.
CJ: Lost it? It's notes. There's a file.
Tal: I've always cherished this thing. My father kept perfect time. Marked it, measured it with this – the hellos and goodbyes. It keeps faltering; nobody can do anything.
Marco: There were days, some days, when…we'd played at a party, The Mollusks, or we'd won a baseball game and…there was just that…thing…that…everybody loving you at that moment.
CJ: My name is CJ Cregg. As you know, I work for the President of the United States. This is why I was asked to make a short speech for our reunion. It's a terrible subject, a terrible idea – “The Promise of a Generation” – so bad, I was going to start out with a joke and fill the whole thing in with more jokes. But I find the topic has gotten under my skin while I wasn't paying attention.
