"Yes,"  Robert answers, "James Burke is still nervous.  Because it is still possible that they can take him out of the election if he gets arrested for a crime.  That was what I said to him, too, that someone wants to make sure he gets arrested before the election.  That is why he does think it is a crisis for him, and is willing to bribe me with the party invitation.  And Jack is in, too.  He allows me to bring a friend."

"Wow!"  Rosanne is impressed.  "You got Jack in already!  He didn't get suspicious?"

"Oh. I just said something that made James Burke happy.  I had to pander his anti-feminism side." Robert smiles.

Jack laughs, "Well, Bob is pretty good at that kind of talk, right? You sometimes sound like my grandpa."
