Joe: (deep sigh, throws Major's leash to Blinken, thumbs toward outside) Please, Vlad. Just tell me.
Vlad: He say when he get back in, we get Alaska back. He really want to fuck over Murkowski, you know ?
Joe: (eye roll) Why am I not surprised? Look, Vlad, I appreciate the heads up, Its good you called me, I'll take that under consideration when we go to the EU about sanctions. By the way, are your Press Corps people over there out of jail yet?
Vlad: No not yet, but we let them send out for Domino's, they much happier now. Everyone complain about Prison food.
Joe: Not good enough, you better get your act together. Now look, I have an idea on how to handle this thing with Big Baby. You got a Pencil?
Vlad: Yes, right here. This going to be good. (chuckling)
Joe: Ok, you're gonna send him a manual. You ever read the "Matarese Circle" by Ludlum?
Vlad: Oh yes! My favorite ever! I cry like baby when KGB man Taleniekov set himself on fire at end.
Joe: Ok. So I want you to get a translator on it and put it into Russian and an edited English version. Make it look real. Except, instead of the fake President look-alike, that would be me, being an Agent of "Per Nostro Circulo", he works for China, ok?
Vlad: Okaaaaaay...
Joe: ...and instead of Scofield, your lead guy is Michael Flynn. He can be both the Hero and the Russian Spy. Since he's one of yours anyway...
Vlad: Hey hey, stop right there. (Grumbling) What else?
Joe: So, tell your Tovarich that Scofield's ie: Flynn's plan to infiltrate the White House and remove us all is your plan. Write a few Proud Boys into the story, just make sure they're FBI informants. Tell him to go with that. He'll love it. Its got violence, Russian Spies, blowing shit up. Maybe some sex. They'll send these idiots over and we'll have our people roll out the Red Carpet over them.
Vlad: You think he falls for this?
Joe: You really think you're getting Alaska?
Vlad: No, guess not. Okeydokey, we see what Tomorrow brings...(singing) Tomorrow, Tomorrow...you know my favorite song from "Annie." You ever see live performance?
Joe: Yes, have you?
Vlad: I kind of sneak in when there in 80's, I was in deep cover.
Joe: Shit, I never knew that.
Vlad: Da! I take Donald and Ivana out for Dinner and show. Your guy Unger miss that one in new book on Kompromat, Haha! (Hysterical laughter)
Joe: Alright Vlad, are we done here?
Vlad: Yes, I think so. You are pretty good Joe, you still sure you don't want change teams? I could use you.
Joe: Nah....I'm from near Philly. We bleed Green, not Red.
