(CAMERAS CLICKING)
MAN: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us here today.
Mr. and Mrs. Collins would like to make a brief statement.
l'm all too aware of the long line of politicians' wives
that have had to make this speech before me,
and like everyone else, l pitied them and l laughed at them.
But l never imagined l'd be one of them,
making a statement of support for my husband.
l do so because l believe that his...
That our private life deserves defending.
ln addition to that, l believe that this country will be better served
if you focus on the issues being raised by his work
rather than his marriage.
We've been together, Stephen and l, a long time.
Since college. We grew up together.
And we've had triumphs and disappointments.
And we've both made mistakes that have caused harm.
Mrs. Collins, what do you mean by mistakes?
Speculate. That's what you guys do, isn't it?
Mrs. Collins? REPORTERS: Mrs. Collins?
(REPORTERS CLAMORING)
That was our pup. We had him for like five months.
Cute.
So, wait. Did she owe you money?
She owed everybody money. Really?
Oh, God. That's how she always walked around, in her underwear.
She owed a $40,000 credit-card debt. What?
Yeah. From what?
For buying shit she didn't have the money to pay for.
She was a shopping freak.
Who's... Who's this? This guy.
He looks familiar. Oh, God, that dipshit?
That's Foy Dog. Foy Dog?
Yeah, Dominic Foy. He's a PR dipshit.
He's one of Sonia's friends. Dominic.
Anyway.
One day, out of nowhere,
she handed me $100 bill for groceries
and said that all her bills had been paid off.
Paid off? By who?
lsn't it obvious? That was right around the time she started seeing Collins.
Or ''the distinguished gentleman,'' as we used to call him.
(CHUCKLING)
Right. So then you had to move out.
No. No, no. l stayed around for a few fun-filled weeks.
lt sort of depended on who was home when he would come over.
Sometimes it would be both of us.
So you're saying that you were... Banging the congressman?
Yes. l was.
We both were.
Would you be willing to go on record with that?
Well, l don't know.
How much were you willing to pay me?
DELLA: Cal, you're not gonna believe what Rhonda Silver just told me.
