The Ghost: [At a restaurant] But you realize I know nothing about politics?
Rick Ricardelli: You voted for him, didn't you?
The Ghost: Adam Lang? Of course I did.
Rick Ricardelli: Everyone voted for him. He wasn't a politician, he was a craze.
The Ghost: Well, there you go.
Rick Ricardelli: Look, it's a new ghostwriter he needs, not another goddamn politico. He was paid $10 million for these memoirs, but rumor has it the manuscript's a crock of shit. Rhinehart's lending him his house at the ocean so they can fix it, and the pressure must have gotten to McAra. Pathologist said his blood was, like, three parts booze.
The Ghost: You mean he drowned by accident?
Rick Ricardelli: Accident, suicide, who cares? It was the book that killed him.
The Ghost: Well, that's encouraging. [Rick dryly chuckles] Who is this McAra? Should I have heard of him?
Rick Ricardelli: Yeah. He was some kind of aide to Lang when he was Prime Minister, so don't admit that you haven't. He was with him for years.
The Ghost: I don't know, Rick.
Rick Ricardelli: This is a great opportunity for you. Plus the money is good. Kids won't starve.
The Ghost: I don't have any kids.
Rick Ricardelli: I do.
