HILLARY: So, I have this dream, and it's always the same.
DOCTOR: What is it? The hat?
HILLARY: Yes, the hat. I've turned into a hat.
DOCTOR: And this is in the field of cattle.
HILLARY: Yes.
DOCTOR: We've discussed this before. This is a reference to your Texas campaign, and how you alluded to the fact that Obama was all hat and no cattle. Meaning, no substance. But in reality, you yourself fear you're all style and no substance. Do you understand?
HILLARY: Mmhmm.
DOCTOR: Now back to Texas and that 3 a.m. ad.
HILLARY: Mmhmm.
DOCTOR: Where did the idea for that ad come from?
HILLARY: I don't recall.
DOCTOR: You don't recall?
HILLARY: No.
DOCTOR: Think hard.
HILLARY: I don't know.
DOCTOR: Okay, but you approved the ad.
HILLARY: Well, yes. Listen, you've already disclosed to me that you're an Obama contributor, and--
DOCTOR: Hillary, don't you think this ad makes you to appear to be something of a hawk? And I mean, when you appeal to your base, you're always trying to look dovish. Why did you run this ad?
HILLARY: Because of the state I was in.
DOCTOR: But Hillary, John McCain's the hawk. You're supposed to be the victimized dove. Are you planning on running this ad in Pennsylvania?
HILLARY: No.
DOCTOR: Why not?
HILLARY: Because of the state I'm in.
DOCTOR: Look, Hillary. The ad isn't in keeping with your statements about wanting to take your vote back on Iraq. You showed that when the phone rings, you don't know how to answer, or what to say. Obama, on the other hand--
HILLARY: It's hard. You know? It's hard--
DOCTOR: Mrs. Clinton, stop crying. Now, Obama--
HILLARY (screaming): Look, you, what state am I in? Texas is a conservative state! I need to look like a hawk! I have to look like a strong woman! Pennsylvania is a whole different bag of cats! Now, damnit, what state am I in?
DOCTOR: Dissociative state, altered state, it's hard to tell--
HILLARY: How many delegates do they have?
