  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWith us is State Senator Barnaby Szymanski of the Lower Tupper District Assembly. Senator, did you see this coming?

  3. Barnaby SzymanskiI did, Gloria. I called it. Quietly, in a hallway, which is where all the real history happens.

  4. Barnaby SzymanskiAnd I'm passing exit forty-one right now, by the way.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou called it. To whom?

  6. Barnaby SzymanskiA man by a vending machine. Credit where due, though: the whole speculation was my doing.

  7. Barnaby SzymanskiAnd if it goes badly, that's the other party's fault. Exit thirty-eight.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThirty-eight?

  9. Barnaby SzymanskiScenic route. Look, loyalty matters to me. I have never switched anything in my life, and I hold my bowling league card as proof.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSenator, your own record shows you've changed parties three times. Is that a yes on the switching?

  11. Barnaby SzymanskiThose were realignments, and they were other people's doing. Exit twelve. Wait, that's a different state.
