Colin Powell: Mr. President, the time has come for me to move on. George W. Bush: Colin, you can't quit before the election- think how many votes I'd lose! Talk to him, Condi. Tell him to stay. Plead with him! Condoleezza Rice: Oh, Colin, please, please don't go, Colin. Please don't go. Don't go. He's not listening, sir. George W. Bush: What will I do? Somebody has to be Secretary of State. But who? Who? Who?? Who? Condoleezza Rice: I accept. Damn! George W. Bush: Colin! Colin Powell: On second thought, I really should stay. Who knows what you might pick to replace me.
