LEO: John, I know we’ve had our ups and downs, but let me be your guy here for a second.. You can’t be thinking about being the first Vice President in history to break a tie going the other way.
HOYNES: I’m not looking to make history.
LEO: Then what are you looking for, John? You’re going to get ink either way.
HOYNES: Leo.
LEO: I know that it eats at you that there is friction between you and my staff. You think they don’t respect you. And they do. They just don’t trust you. And frankly, neither does the President.
HOYNES: Well—
LEO: I mean, I know that’s tough. But God, John, I’m the one that convinced him to put you on the ticket. And I’m going to be the one standing here when you make history, whether you’re going to or not.
HOYNES: Leo, one of these days you’re going to have to allow for the possibility that my motives might not always be sinister.
