Clips from BrainDead - Notes Toward a Post-Reagan Theory of Party Alliance, Tribalist, and Loyalty: Past as Prologue (S01E01)

"So."
BrainDead
"Um..."
BrainDead
"So..."
BrainDead
"I'm not here about last night."
BrainDead
"with the Maryland State House."
BrainDead
"One of our constituents complained."
BrainDead
"Let's back up."
BrainDead
"I think we should talk about last night."
BrainDead
"I don't know what it was."
BrainDead
"- What did you see? - What did I..."
BrainDead
"fell unconscious, what did you see?"
BrainDead
"I don't know what you're after."
BrainDead
"I... held you."
BrainDead
"And then I got dressed."
BrainDead
"No."
BrainDead
"Okay, look."
BrainDead
"And if I wasn't there?"
BrainDead
"- But you were there. - Yeah, but..."
BrainDead
"No. No, I just..."
BrainDead
"I want to feel like I wasn't being used last night."
BrainDead
"- It was great. - It wasn't great. It was weird."
BrainDead
"Okay, yes. It was weird."
BrainDead
"For things to be normal."
BrainDead
"I want to talk and joke"
BrainDead
"And then kiss you on your stoop one night"
BrainDead
"Okay."
BrainDead
"Why can't we do that?"
BrainDead
"Because you were yelling at me to go faster"
BrainDead
"I need your list of gerrymander districts."
BrainDead
"We have a bug."
BrainDead
"You do?"
BrainDead
"How did you get it?"
BrainDead
"That..."
BrainDead
"That would take some explaining."
BrainDead
"We did a spectrographic test."
BrainDead
"It's 90% potassium chloride."
BrainDead
"That could explain the head explosions."
BrainDead
"Unknown."
BrainDead
"How could it be unknown?"
BrainDead
"It moves. Even after you cut it up."
BrainDead
"Yes."
BrainDead
"We need your help."
BrainDead
"Someone risked their life to get this bug."
BrainDead
"We'll address them one at a time."
BrainDead
"Senators will be limited to five minutes in discussing markups."
BrainDead
"Uh, first, the proposed $48 million"
BrainDead
"earmark for disease control maintenance in New York."
BrainDead
"- I move to approve. - I second."
BrainDead
"Actually, Senator,"
BrainDead
"uh, if you don't mind."
BrainDead
"Well, I'll call it more of a hesitation."
BrainDead
"I'm reading this comic book..."
BrainDead
"I think the young people call it, uh, a graphic novel."
BrainDead
"It's called, uh,"
BrainDead
"Zombie Pandemic."
BrainDead
"Uh, a constituent gave it to me."
BrainDead
"I thought it was funny."
BrainDead
"then I realized who put it out."
BrainDead
"It's our very own Centers for Disease Control."
BrainDead
"The real one; the one we're discussing right now."
BrainDead
"about how to repel a zombie attack."
BrainDead
"This was merely a way to get people"
BrainDead
"who usually don't care about disease to read about it."
BrainDead
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman."
BrainDead
"I thought I had five minutes."
BrainDead
"You do. Continue."
BrainDead
"uh, isn't about the cost of this."
BrainDead
"I'm sure it's negligible."
BrainDead
"My question is this."
BrainDead
"Is the CDC devoting practical research time"
BrainDead
"and money to a zombie apocalypse?"
BrainDead
"Okay, that's crazy."
BrainDead
"Well, a constituent told me"
BrainDead
"goes by the name of Dexter Wu or-or Wah..."
BrainDead
"This is what I say."
BrainDead
"We are about to approve a $1.3 billon budget"
BrainDead
"for the CDC."
BrainDead
"We owe it to the taxpayers to make sure this money"
BrainDead
"isn't spent on more zombie comic books"
BrainDead
"and zombie bug research."
BrainDead
"Yes, until such time as the CDC director can assure us"
BrainDead
"that the people's money isn't being misspent."
BrainDead
"like a screwworm eats human flesh."
BrainDead
"But, sir..."
BrainDead
"Our budget is being held up by this."
BrainDead
"This was given to me by a very trustworthy..."
BrainDead
"_"
BrainDead
"So, everybody thinks you're crazy."
BrainDead
"I'm just doing my job."
BrainDead
"Red Wheatus is acting as a clearing house"
BrainDead
"to gerrymandering."
BrainDead
"Well, he's a senator."
BrainDead
"And gerrymandering only affects house races."
BrainDead
"embarrass Senator Wheatus into backing off?"
BrainDead
"Okay. So here's some words of wisdom."
BrainDead
"Politicians don't embarrass easily."
BrainDead
"- You do. - Mm-mm, I do not."
BrainDead
"Senior year, Mom picking you up from school."
BrainDead
"fell down around your knees... that was good."
BrainDead
"Have fun. I'm going."
BrainDead
"You know, the more..."
BrainDead
"ludicrous the district, the better."
BrainDead
"Allegany County."
BrainDead
"♪ ♪"
BrainDead
"Yeah."
BrainDead
"- Come on, you can't be going crazy. - No, I'm just saying"
BrainDead
"what does it mean?"
BrainDead
"Nothing. What could it mean?"
BrainDead
"You're saying someone is gerrymandering"
BrainDead
"districts into crop circles."
BrainDead
"That doesn't make any sense."
BrainDead
"Because these bugs are not of this world."
BrainDead
"Oh, my God, you have been wanting to say that for weeks."
BrainDead
"- How else do you explain all? - A million reasons!"
BrainDead
"Demographics. I-I don't know."
BrainDead
"But why would creatures from another world be making"
BrainDead
"crop circles out of voting districts?"
BrainDead
"It makes no sense."
BrainDead
"Look."
BrainDead
"The circles... they're all pointing towards something."
