It was, oh, kind of cinnamon-y but not spicy.
I can't do spicy. Of course not. [ scoffs ]

Senator gibson, gentlemen.
Gibson: Mellie.
Hope those special-interest gifts are all under $50.
I bought those for my grandkids.

Vote through that spending bill.
Which is the reason for my visit.
[ sighs ] I found a mistake.
Seems funding for planned parenthood
Has been put under the discretionary column.
Planned parenthood will still be fully funded.
True.
But if it's moved to discretionary,
Then that money could be taken away at any time,
In future spending bills --
It's funded.
Nothing in this bill says otherwise.
But there's no guarantee, and if there's no guarantee,
Well, then I can't vote for it.
That bill will pass just fine without you, mellie.
I'm sure there are others...
When they find out, they'll agree with me.
I have never brought a bill to the senate floor
Without knowing how many votes I need to pass it,
And this one is no exception.
That's what makes me so good at my job.
And you know what's gonna make you good at your job?
Voting yes on this thing.

So, without further ado,

I humbly suggest we put this kitten to a vote.

Thank you, senator.
Is there anyone else who would like to be recognized?
No? In that case --
I'd like to be recognized.
The chair recognizes the junior senator from virginia.
What the hell is this?
[ senators murmuring ]
So, here's the thing.
This bill keeps the lights on, and I'm all for that,
Just not when it means hurting people in the process.
Mrs. Grant -- I have the floor.
You say we're not defunding planned parenthood,
And technically you're right.
But by making that money discretionary,
You give the people in this room the power to say,
"you know what? We're a little over budget this year.
How about we don't give that little ladies' organization
The full amount they're asking for?"
So you don't.
And then, next year, you give them even less,
And even less the year after that,
And you keep chipping away at their budget
Until, before you know it,
Planned parenthood no longer exists.
[ exhales sharply ]
So, as much as I would like to get home for the holidays,
I refuse to do it at the expense of women's health.
So...
Oh, no.
...Before we vote,
I'd like to tell you about
The thousands of federal projects
That aren't discretionary...
I don't believe this. She's filibustering.

On senate hair-care services...

This the scene just hours ago when mellie grant,
The junior senator of virginia and former first lady,
Began her filibuster of a congressional spending bill,
A bill which, if it doesn't pass by midnight,
Could lead to a very untimely government shutdown.
It's never gonna get that far.
How can you be so sure?
Because in order to kill the bill,
She has to stand up there for 16 hours.
That's 16 hours where she's not allowed
To lean on anything for support,
16 hours where she won't be able to eat or pee.
Yes, people have done it before,
But those people trained for it.
They put on diapers, wear comfortable shoes...
What do you think?
There's no talking about mellie without talking about you.
If she looks desperate, it's because you abandoned her.
If she looks unstable, it's because you kept her down
All those years -- their words, not mine.
I say we stay far, far away.
Watch her hang herself by her own rope.

Outside the white house.

Oh. I can't. I was just about to take off.

She makes a great sweet potato pie.
Oh. Right. Yeah, you have a family.
Want to come? No.

Sam, get me phil jurik at the post.
Oh.
Wow.
I see you wear scarves sometimes,
And, well, I can see why.
I mean, that neck -- it's epic.
I wish I could pull off a scarf,
But I have nowhere near the neck real estate you do.
Oh, you hate it, don't you?
No. I love it.
It's beautiful. Really?
You have great taste.
I mean, your bracelet is gorgeous.
David rosen gave it to me.
