BrainDead - Season 1 Edit

A $14 million war chest

A brand.

A bug that, yes,

A CAT scan from a cat?

A CAT scan was performed.

A chocolate dog.

A constituent I have to help.

A cynical ploy by the Democrats.

A decorated Capitol police officer

A foreign entomological organism

A friend.

A handsome guy.

A heightened aggressiveness,

A kiosk where little kids can buy candy bars,

A lot of constituents happy. Are you listening to me?

A man named Dr. Daudier... our office signed off

A man was brought into the E.R. yesterday.

A new one once a week until the November elections.

A number that you faked.

A one year old named Lilly.

A political career is ridicule.

A possible bioterrorism attack within the Capitol grounds...

A renowned entomologist.

A report tomorrow.

A terrible tragedy.

A wet spot.

A whistleblower?

A woman.

A young girl with cancer traveled across the country

Aah!

Aah! They're in my head!

Abby

Abby Summers? You're kidding.

Abby, there's bugs in here!

Abby, uh, on your blog

Abby, why'd you give up your Genius Grant?

Abby, wow.

Abby!

Abby!

Abby!

Abby!

Abby!

Abby!

Abby?

Abby...

About 150 times higher than humans.

About Anthony, I I've been a bit of a jerk.

About how to repel a zombie attack.

About our national security and our national identity.

About the glory of our system of government.

About the terrorists taking credit?

About the world.

About what?

According to neighbors, Mr. Henry Leafton

Actually, do you want to come?

Actually, I have a better idea.

Actually, I was thinking.

Actually, I'm not here at all.

Actually, just... don't say that.

Actually, Luke, I was just heading out.

Actually, no, good, thanks.

Actually, no. Just...

Actually, Senator,

Adding to the tension is the defiant Bernie Sanders.

After the kiosk naming.

Again, I hope that's all right.

Again, you already voted yes.

Against this interrogation... Why is that?

Agent Onofrio has been infected.

Agent Onofrio mentioned his name to you.

Agent, answer me yes or no.

Agent?

Agreed.

Ah, let's go some place quieter.

Ah, Major General Winfield Scott Hancock.

Ah, see, not heated up enough. I'll do it.

Ah! Senator Healy.

Ah.

Ah. Here she is. Here's who you want to see. My sister.

Ah. Ow.

Ah...

Ah... damn it!

Ali Wasem.

All because, as many believe,

All he needs is a $48 million earmark for autism studies.

All I know is, some Republican was pushed aside

All my questions have been answered prior to this meeting.

All Red wants is $48 million in earmarks.

All right, all those in favor

All right, be the beast, you got it.

All right, I'll get approval.

All right, now, come on, dig down.

All right, once again,

All right, so let me be clear.

All right, this government is up and running less than two days,

All right, well, this should not be a political calculation.

All right, you tell me she's not the reason

All right.

All right.

All the interrogations I was going to inflict on you.

All the time, you were going behind my back

All those against the current definition,

All those in favor of the motion,

All those who voted yes, please...

All you have to do is get your brother to say yes.

All you need to do is drop a word and they'll jump.

Allegany County.

Although it just kind of ends.

Am I not patriotic enough for you?

Am I... What?

Americans don't like torture.

An additional $3 billion

An ambulance driver, from our inspectors

An aversion to alcohol,

An illegitimate child of yours?

And $12 million in PAC money.

And $80 million of that pork

And a very good one..

And all she wants is her picture in front of him.

And all you have to do is convince your brother to meet.

And and who's handling my calls tonight?

And as if this year weren't dramatic enough,

And closed fist contact in the chest area.

And come back

And convincing him to take this deal,

And discuss it, but I need for you

And feel awkward about calling you the next day

And for all of us.

And gerrymandering only affects house races.

And get her to agree

And go back out there and fight.

And he said yes,

And he's at Walter Reed?

And he's looking to make some budget cuts

And her story, will undoubtedly touch many hearts.

And his boss took it away from him.

And his daughter sued the school district

And how do those methods not constitute torture,

And how do we do that?

And how do you test their impact?

And how does controlled immersion

And I believe in that job.

And I believe the American people to be smarter than that.

And I can't support that. The CDC does good work.

And I don't... am I some Godless liberal?

And I heard my boss had a talk with you about us.

And I know there's a cure.

And I move that we give the CDC

And I need your help finding out what.

And I needed human contact.

And I needed money.

And I put myself forward as a candidate to replace him.

And I shouldn't have.

And I think I'm going insane.

And I think you just saved the D.C. economy.

And I will now entertain a motion to close debates.

And I wouldn't lose any voters.

And I'll consider the deal.

And I'll get credit for saving a young man?!

And I'll join in, making that a majority.

And I'll need my constituent caseworker.

And I'll tell you right now,

And I'm gonna need you bright and early tomorrow

And I'm here to calm their fears.

And I'm so sorry...

And if anybody finds out about this, the deal goes away.

And if I wasn't there?

And if there are no objections, I move we so vote.

And if you lose your transfer, they make you pay again.

And if your brother tries to use this, if he tries

And in some severe cases, death.

And it was all of us together,

And Laurel said she saw some in her apartment.

And Laurel was so great at just hand holding me.

And let me be very clear about this.

And let's see what one of them does.

And making them explode, right?

And maybe don't show her the "cat" scan.

And money to a zombie apocalypse?

And my car got stuck in the mud.

And no, despite whatever vote count you think you have,

And now he doesn't.

And now it's time to celebrate.

And now she's here to see the Lincoln Memorial,

And PACs dredging up scandals from the 1990's and earlier,

And pay.

And plans to conduct more attacks in the future.

And Red will run someone against you from the right.

And right in the middle of a good dream,

And she couldn't sing.

And she didn't make it.

And she's supposedly hooked in.

And some of them will be ugly. The burning question is:

And someone is trying to break the encryption on her phone.

And spring up in my bed, screaming out the words I dread.

And sympathies with the Ra'id Front.

And take you out to dinner.

And that simulates drowning?

And that's how your father died?

And that's what happened, right?

And that's why we're expediting the work of this committee.

And that's, that's what I did with Oscar.

And the driver, was there anything

And the Medicare doctor was so rude.

And the world is so out of control.

And their little cute daughters.

And then I got dressed.

And then I talk to my friends and they say

And then kiss you on your stoop one night

And then they're just...

And then we're, I don't know,

And then you pour that over it

And then you'll do what you can to satisfy their complaints.

And then you'll give them these pens, caps and signed photos.

And there was a... you know,

And there'll be more photos.

And there's even been talk of sonic weapons.

And therein lies the confusion, Mr. Chairman.

And they treated me like I was their son.

And they were halted during the government shutdown.

And they were offering $48 million for autism to close it.

And they're saying that these fatal strokes are because

And things are gonna get bad very quickly.

And this is from Wheatus's man?

And this...

And trying to figure how to get Annie

And turning them stupid.

And turning them stupid.

And vote with the Democrats.

And we all know who is to blame.

And we are asking for Appendix Q interrogation protocol.

And we can modify the lengths based on that.

And we can't aggressively interrogate a subject

And we don't have the equipment.

And we know bug people don't want that.

And we'll talk again.

And we're deadlocked over a concession stand.

And we're gonna know each other like never before.

And what am I about?

And what does that mean?

And what is the problem

And what job is that?

And who do you think will be president?

And why are they doing that?

And why are you helping Ms. Burke anyway?

And why do I think if she was raving about Hillary

And why do they want to return

And with the consent of the two Intelligence chairs.

And would you stop following me?

And you a while to adapt to them.

And you just lost your chair.

And you know, I I don't know about

And you think that I would make up a budget offer from my boss?

And you to adapt to them."

And you were saying it was terrorism

And you what?

And you you bury them someplace nice?

And you're gonna help me.

And you're not about to use

And your friend's name?

And zombie bug research.

And, hey,

And, hey, don't get obsessed

And, hey, the vote could still go your way.

And, uh, I'll meet him in your office.

And, uh...

And, uh...

And, uh... I'm leaving these.

And...

And... that's it.

Angry workers took...

Annie was a walk in.

Annie.

Anthon... Anthony!

Anthony, did you change the sheets?

Anthony?

Anthony?

Anthony.

Anthony.

Any discussion?

Any disrespect when I suggest

Any of the talented people who keep this place running.

Any of us. You, Luke.

Anything more, Senator?

Anything you have to say,

Anyway...

Apartment 2.

Apology accepted.

Appendix Q interrogation allowances?

Appendix Q interrogation allowances?

Apple cart owners, okay.

Apple cart owners.

Appointments, PAC money, even the gavel.

Approved Appendix Q interrogation methods.

Are incapable of working together.

Are we living in a fascist state now?

Are we ready to vote on the CDC budget?

Are we really considering having a Capitol kiosk,

Are you a doctor, sir?

Are you all right with that, or do you want to hit me again?

Are you all right?

Are you all right? You seem out of breath.

Are you asking if I sleep around?

Are you going to Tax Prom?

Are you gonna say something?

Are you insane?

Are you insane?!

Are you kidding me?

Are you okay?

Are you patriotic, Laurel?

Are you ready?

Are you recording us?

Are you researching bugs that eat human brains?

Are you serious?

Are you still in touch with, uh,

Are you still on the line, Agent?

Are you studying zombie bugs?

Are you sure you want to do this?

Are you taking over the government?

Are you... are you up for a photo?

Argue about Paul Krugman, vomit on the sidewalk.

Armed Services? Why Armed Services?

As a first order of business,

As as part of my training, I, uh...

As defined by Executive Order 13491?

As far as we can tell,

As opposed to now.

As part of my casework, I just wanted to update you, Ms. Burke.

As part of my questioning, an FBI lawyer must be present.

As ridiculous as your question is, Senator,

Ask about Laurel directly.

Ask your friends at CDC what happens

At all.

At least Norway offers free college education to anyone...

At least that's what you said, so the bugs just got to him.

At the fire station.

At the Lincoln Memorial before she died,

At the senate gym.

At the Tax Prom?

At UDC where he has taught

Attagirl.

Aw.

Back in 1803...

Barneki was the odd man out.

Bastards.

Be my guest.

Because he hated wasting American taxpayers money.

Because her throat would close up,

Because I knew he wanted to take a deal.

Because I think bugs are eating people's brains

Because I think bugs are eating people's brains

Because if there is another head explosion on my staff,

Because it's 100,000 people out of work.

Because of my stand.

Because of my strong stand on terrorism.

Because of the shutdown.

Because Reagan never conceded to anything.

Because she knew you couldn't handle it.

Because she knew you couldn't handle it.

Because she's lying.

Because these bugs are not of this world.

Because they have bugs?

Because we're gonna destroy them.

Because you know it'll win,

Because you were sleeping on the couch,

Because you were yelling at me to go faster

Because you're in my way.

Because you're my sister and you like to meddle.

Before I go insane, I put a pillow to my head.

Before we, uh... vote.

Being with you? Oh, is that what they call infidelity now?

Believe me.

Below deck, opening a container.

Best catfish in the country.

Best not to enable them.

Best thing ever happened to me.

Bishop's pawn... F6.

Blah blah blah.

Blast it!

Bloated bureaucracies

Blood pressure and pulse strong.

Blowing off steam.

Boiled down?

Boom.

Boom.

Breanna, do you have a minute?

Breanna, if there's some abuse going on, all you have to do...

Brett Middleton.

Brett,

Bring it here.

Brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Democrat congress.

Bugs crawled in my ear! I need help!

Bugs don't do that.

Bugs?

Bugs?

Bugs.

Burst of dopamine.

But a better part of yourself.

But a decorated veteran.

But at a certain point, the mob needs blood.

But do it for a year and I'll pay 'em off.

But do you have an objection, Red?

But due to the shutdown, it's closed.

But even at 240 decibels, the head could never explode

But get them in a group, voting?

But he asked me to the Tax Prom.

But I don't... Everybody is.

But I now call for a vote

But I think it's important to try to pierce that

But I think you need to convince him it's good for his career.

But I would avoid the abdominal area.

But I'd still like you to do the best you can.

But I've always had to fend for myself.

But I've never had...

But isn't the real question

But it knocked the hell out of me.

But it's highly unusual.

But it's not a screwworm.

But it's not about an actual exploding head.

But it's not gonna work

But last night I hit bottom.

But let's not forget

But let's not get in the way. When your opponent is

But look at you here. I mean, look at these offices.

But Lyme disease and Zika are just as weird as this.

But my office will have to personally sign off

But nobody saw this coming.

But not everyone does,

But not the people in L.A., right?

But now everything is great.

But of course, I call anyway.

But rumors surfaced earlier today of her father's classes

But some have wondered why they are continuing to play political games

But the other night with you changed everything.

But the Republicans want to decimate your budget.

But the switchboard wasn't letting me through.

But the threat is serious enough

But then many did.

But then, uh,

But to me, it looks like you're hiding something;

But Trump is not...

But we can't risk another death on Capitol Hill.

But we go into that committee hearing,

But we should have Abby over sometime. Girls' night.

But we think they're wrong.

But why would creatures from another world be making

But why write a novel when the country is going down the drain?

But will that be enough to face the blistering attack

But work sent me.

But yesterday you thought an infestation made sense.

But you drank before at the bar.

But you fought for him.

But you have to read the literature

But you... One day, you're emotional;

But you're not bad at it.

But your friend will be a lobotomized idiot.

But, please, if you ever need someone to speak to you,

But, sir...

But...

Butch.

By a Republican senator on the budget.

By keeping our comments

By staying committed to a friend.

By The Cars?

By the way, there's someone here to see you.

Bye.

Bye.

Call him.

Call me, Abby. Um...

Calls people who make up their own facts?

Can end the pain right now.

Can I get a copy of this photo?

Can I get you a drink, ma'am?

Can I please take a message?

Can I take you out tonight?

Can I tell Mr. Ritter what this is regarding?

Can you believe it? I'm turning into my mother.

Can you believe that?

Can you give me the MRI?

Can you hear me, Doctor?

Can you not hear me?

Can you send it out as if it were you?

Can you stop calling them "bug people," please?

Can you tell me what happened yesterday in the ambulance?

Can you tell me what happened?

Can't get one damned thing done.

Can't say that, sir.

Can't you do anything?!

Capitol Hill... they're taking over the government.

Cash bars.

CAT scan. Sure.

CDC.

Celery and spinach. Want to try some?

Chair on Armed Services,

Chairman, I don't think every step of the process needs

Cheaper?

Cheating on Germaine.

Check.

Checkmate.

Chemical, acoustical?

CHis. In the labs they're calling them "head pops."

Christened with a name sounding like "Sharia"?

Civil War buff?

Clearly, terrorists are coming after me

Clockwise around the pond.

Coasters and tape.

Cochliomyia hominivorax.

Come on in here.

Come on, don't act outraged.

Come on, even you don't believe that.

Come on, everybody, take their seats, please.

Come on, grab my arm.

Come on, I had an employee who died

Come on, I'll give you a scoop out there.

Come on, Luke.

Come on, Mike, two more.

Come on, Mike.

Come on, Oscar. You really gonna let me win?

Come on, pick it up, you slow poke.

Come on, Senator.

Come on, take another drink.

Come on, this is just getting paranoid.

Come on, what do you hate more, Republicans or animal testing?

Come on, you don't like children.

Come on, you're kidding.

Come on!

Come on! Are you ready for some major tax funk?!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Time's a wasting.

Come on. We only have ten minutes.

Coming from Donald Trump?

Coming from the candidates on the other side,

Coming out of your office?

Commerce, education and energy.

Constituent casework.

Continues to devastate the local economy.

Contradict each other.

Convince him.

Could you turn some lights on?

Could you turn the music down, sir?

Crap, crap, crap.

Crap.

Crap. Crap.

Crop circles out of voting districts?

Crop circles.

Crop circles.

Cut... Wh...?

D.C. expects you on time and to leave on time.

Dad, can I call you back?

Dad, please shut up.

Dad?

Dad.

Damn it.

Damn it.

Damn it. I think I lost him.

Damn right. Got to love this game.

Daudier?

Daudier's daughter is a resident there, Rochelle Daudier.

Deafness in one ear, some imbalance,

Deal.

Defend your honor.

Democratic caucus in five minutes.

Democrats, Republicans, all having a good time.

Demographics. I I don't know.

Dependent Care Tax Credit.

Devastating takedown.

Did Gareth tell you this?

Did he say anything?

Did he say anything?

Did he see the..

Did she possibly mean Red Wheatus?

Did those numbers come back in?

Did we question some Hill staffer Lana

Did you examine the bug?

Did you hear a gunshot?

Did you know that 42%

Did you know that his brain has been eaten by bugs?

Did you know that?

Did you question the first mate?

Did you record their communication?

Did you see what the Republicans said?

Did you talk to Gareth afterwards?

Did you tell him what happened to moderates?

Did you try the Smithsonian?

Didn't expect you for another hour or so.

Differ from water boarding?

Director Marchant, how do you define

Director Marchant?

Director Marchant.

Disinterest in intimacy and sexual connection,

Districts into crop circles.

Districts into crop circles.

Do I need to show my colleague photos of victims of ISIS?

Do it again.

Do they go on to live long and healthy lives?

Do they?

Do we make the deal?

Do we use water in any other manner?

Do you have a minute?

Do you have my sister in custody?

Do you have the bug here?

Do you know what the Islamic Ra'id Front is?

Do you know where he went? Please. I'm his sister.

Do you know who Ali Wasem is?

Do you know who it is?

Do you like having to go to the Democrats and beg for every morsel

Do you like this office, Gareth?

Do you take any heart medication, Ms. Healy?

Do you think people in this town were ever idealistic?

Do you think the Republicans would go any easier on us?

Do you think they're even talking about the budget?

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Do you want me to ask?

Do you want me to set up a meeting instead of the call?

Do you want to come over now? I was just making some tea.

Do.

DoD? Pentagon?

Does it still hurt?

Does space have a sound?

Doesn't break their budgetary tie in the next ten hours,

Doesn't like torture... Senator Hodges, the war hero?

Doesn't mean I don't care.

Doesn't that feel good?

Don't be late.

Don't be tempted by the small moves.

Don't ever mention bugs to me again. Ever.

Don't go yet.

Don't hang up.

Don't hesitate to call us.

Don't leave.

Don't let people tell you

Don't question happiness.

Don't stop.

Don't struggle, or they'll hurt you.

Don't sugarcoat it, Sheila. Give it to them straight.

Don't tell Luke I told you this, but

Don't thank me. What are you doing?

Don't want to make a deal... just yet.

Don't worry, I won't do it for you.

Don't worry.

Don't you want to know if he's a bug?

Don't you want to know who the crew member was?

Don't, Dad.

Dr

Dr. Alaimo?

Dr. Alaimo.

Dr. Bobb.

Dr. Daudier?

Dr. Daudier?

Dr. Daudier's catastrophic head injury took place.

Dr. Lagunov, hello!

Drinks?

During that previous government shutdown,

During the Bushes, people went to bed at 9:00.

Dying.

E mails, as if they prove anything!

Earmark for disease control maintenance in New York.

Easily, she's the worst secretary of state

Eater of man?

Ed Sharie.

Ed Sharie.

Eh, it's customary.

Eh, you know, let me call you back in five minutes.

Eight years ago, and it left some scarring.

Eight years ago, many Hillary supporters swore

Electromagnetic...

Ella and Red should be at each other's throats.

Ella, Ella.

Ella, stop with the propaganda.

Embarrass Senator Wheatus into backing off?

Emma Goldman!

Enhanced questioning techniques on her?

Especially after the country sees

Especially given the circumstances.

Ethic rules.

Even though I probably will.

Even though, as a strong animal lover,

Ever.

Every administration's different.

Everybody comes back a little changed from the sea.

Everybody here is just doing their job.

Everything is purity.

Everything.

Everything.

Excuse me, I... I had a talk with Red.

Excuse me, Mr. Chairman.

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Excuse me.

Exploding head syndrome is very real and very common,

Faster.

Fell down around your knees... that was good.

Fell unconscious, what did you see?

Finally.

Finding out its chemical composition.

Five minutes, huh? That's all I get?

Five.

Flow control valve. It regulates the water pressure

Flowers. I'm throwing them out.

Focus on the board. Queen's pawn to E4.

Food, alcohol... where is it?

For a more "thorough examination,"

For autism. He only lives to drink and screw.

For Gareth Ritter.

For my reelection campaign.

For putting 100,000 government employees out of work.

For the CDC.

For the clinical trials.

For the government reopening...

For them to look at other theories.

For these head explosions and they're promising

For things to be normal.

For today, we are announcing the restoration

For your Appendix Q request?

For?

For...?

Forget it. I'm done. Let's vote.

Four...

Four...

Frequency spikes of 300 kilohertz or more.

From fulfilling that wish.

From one of these...

From something that keeps knocking at my brain.

From the Draco constellation, over 148 light years away.

From the outer reaches of the Milky Way.

From the Republican PAC.

From the vases in there.

From within your office.

Gah, I'm not supposed to think.

Gareth Ritter. He's not lying.

Gareth, bring me the One Wayer e mails.

Gareth, can you hang on a second?

Gareth, I'll call you back.

Gareth, it's time to leave these communists.

Gareth, right?

Gareth, where are you, buddy?

Gareth?

Gareth?

Gareth?

Gareth? Yeah, yeah, he keeps calling.

Gareth.

Gave me a few hundred dollars to get me home.

Get me Director Marchant on the line now.

Get me everything you can on that girl.
