So you didnt see anything near my ears . Your ears . No. Okay, look. I have these migraines, and i needed human contact. And if i wasnt there . But you were there. Yeah, but. When you get these migraines, what do you do . Are you asking if i sleep around . No. No, i just. exhales i want to feel like i wasnt being used last night. It was great. It wasnt great. It was weird. Okay, yes. laughs it was weird. What do you want . For things to be normal. I want to talk and joke and take you out to dinner. And pay. And then kiss you on your stoop one night and then i talk to my friends and they say not to call because ill come across too vulnerable, but of course, i call anyway. And then were, i dont know, happy and a little awkward on the phone together. Okay. Lets do that. Why cant we do that . Because you were yelling at me to go faster while you ate chocolate and salami. I just need some time to think. Makes sense. Oh, um. I need your list of gerrymander districts. quiet chuckle we have a bug. You do . How did you get it . Gustav that.

Im reading this comic book i think the young people call it, uh, a graphic novel. Its called, uh, preparedness 101 zombie pandemic. Uh, a constituent gave it to me.

They put out a comic book about how to repel a zombie attack. Luke this was merely a way to get people who usually dont care about disease to read about it. Im sorry, mr. Chairman. I thought i had five minutes. You do. Continue. Well, my question, uh, isnt about the cost of this. Im sure its negligible. My question is this. Is the cdc devoting Practical Research time and money to a Zombie Apocalypse . Okay, thats crazy. laughing i mean. Theyre not. Well, a constituent told me that a cdc researcher goes by the name of dexter wu oror wah dr. Wu . Is investigating bugs that take on zombielike characteristics. This is what i say. We are about to approve a 1. 3 billon budget for the cdc. We owe it to the taxpayers to make sure this money isnt spent on more zombie comic books and zombie bug research. applause youre moving that we delay approval of the cdc budget . Yes, until such time as the cdc director can assure us that the peoples money isnt being misspent. Are you studying zombie bugs . Well, im doing research into a bug that, yes, like a screwworm eats human flesh. Stop. But, sir our budget is being held up by this.
