GK: The Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Honorable John Boehner of Ohio, has dropped by. Good to see you, sir.

TR: Good to be here.

GK: Exciting times in Congress. Your Republican majority is trying to get the President to withdraw his immigration initiative----

TR: We are. Overreach. Probably unconstitutional. Got to get that off the table.

GK: And so your majority has voted to stop funding security at the Capitol building and take the metal detectors away and lay off the Capitol police.

TR: We passed a stopgap bill to fund Capitol security for a week, but then we'll see.

GK: Putting pressure on the President to change his immigration policy.

TR: Hope the Senate will sit down with us and try to work out a solution but we'll see what happens.

GK: There's also a rumor that conservative members of the Republican majority will go on a food strike and refuse nourishment until the president bends to your will.

TR: There's been talk of that. Nothing has been taken off the table.

GK: Nothing has been taken off the table, meaning they are still eating.

TR: I believe so.

GK: How about alcohol? Might they try to pressure the president by going on the wagon?

TR: I honestly don't see that happening.

GK: Okay. If I may say so, Mr. Speaker, no disrespect, but you appear rather unhappy.

TR: No comment on that.

GK: You look like this has been a hard week for you.

TR: I've seen better.

GK: You've been trying to head off another government shutdown, right?

TR: These Capitol police --- some of 'em are good friends of mine. Good buddies. It can be lonely being the Leader. You know that? I don't suppose you do. That gavel can get pretty darned heavy towards the end of the day and you look around for someone to go have a drink with and there's nobody. But some of the boys from the Force started coming up to my office --- end of the day --- brought some Scotch ---- we'd sit around, have a few, I'd sit down to the piano ---- you got a piano here?

GK: We do. Be our guest.

TR: Thanks. Excuse me. (PUTS HANDS ON PIANO, PLAYS CHORD)

(SINGS, MONOTONE)

Trouble in mind.

And I'm blue.

But I won't be blue always.

Someone's going to give me respect.....someday.

GK: Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
