Yes. I'm a citizen.

Wouldn't you like to know?
Wyman?

It's been 2,000 years since Jesus died on the cross,

Mm, definitely not gonna be safe wearing that outfit.
You see, that's exactly what we're talking about, Tommy.
A woman should feel free
to dress however slutty she wants, whenever.
- "Slutty"? - No, baby, not you.
You know, other women who are slutty.
We award the bars one, two, or three vaginas
after our inspection.
- Three vaginas are the safest. - What is that?

[Veronica] What's up with you? You okay?
Well, I'm heading over to vote, but...
Ford got in my head, and now I'm not sure I'm doing
the right thing voting for Ruiz.
You're definitely not doing the right thing.
Why does everyone think I'm supposed to vote for Wyman?
Just 'cause she's a woman?
Ruiz is a successful businessman.
He knows how to get things done.
That "successful businessmen in Washington" shit's
not working too well for us right now.
So not voting for Wyman makes me
a racist and a hypocrite?
If the tiny glove fits...
We got to go pretty soon, baby.
Bye, Fi.
You're drinking a beer in the middle of the day.
It might be a clue as to whether you're making
