Frank Lautenberg and his Chief of Staff, Tim Yehl, sit before a desk, behind which sits lawyer Angelo Genova, who has a large list in front of him, from which he's reading. Lautenberg looks nervous, while Yehl is tapping at a soda can, looking bored. They are discussing whether Lautenberg will seek re-election to the United States Senate in 2008.
GENOVA: Situation number four. You're breathing on your own, you're conscious, but with no muscular function.
LAUTENERG: Well, would I be able to communicate?
GENOVA: I don't see how.
YEHL: Ach, I don't like the sound of this one.
LAUTENBERG: Huhh, yeah, let's pull the cord.
YEHL: Yank it like (pops open soda can) you're starting a mower.
GENOVA: Moving on. You have liver, kidneys and gall bladder, but no central nervous system.
Lautenberg looks at Yehl, who gives a double thumbs-down.
LAUTENBERG: Well, I gotta have a central nervous system.
GENOVA: Okay. One lung, blind and you're eating through a tube.
LAUTENBERG: Naw, that's not my style.
YEHL: Bore-ing.
GENOVA: Alright, you can eat. But machines do everything else.
LAUTENBERG: (hesitant) Uhm...
Lautenberg looks to Yehl, who nods.
YEHL: I'd stick.
LAUTENBERG: Yeah, yeah. Stick. (to Yehl) 'Cos I could still ride the Senators Only elevator.
YEHL: (points to Lautenberg and smiles in agreement) That's right.
