From Declaration of Conscience, w/ Margaret Chase Smith (MCS) & May Craig
MAY CRAIG: If I had any advice left to give, and Lord knows you won’t listen it’s this: McCarthy makes noise. All the politicians who achieved made a sort of noise. You don’t stand out.
MCS: I’m here at my desk aren’t I? Staying, late, standing on principle.
MAY CRAIG: Standing on principle. A conscientious objector. Objecting. But quietly in the back of the room. Waiting politely for someone to notice how politely you are waiting. But they never will.
MCS: I’m going to make a noise, May. If you only knew. It will knock your little gloves off. When I’m done you’ll eat a whole bowl of crow.
MAY CRAIG: Gladly. Why don’t we meet up for--
MCS: No. No. I’m far too busy.
Beat.
MCS: I’m done with you, May. You’ll see how wrong you are about everything. Don’t call me again.
