let them beg, or is he begging to the wrong person.

just a snip:

“I didn’t know you were Catholic,” Ms. Pelosi said, a wry reference to Mr. Paulson’s kneeling, according to someone who observed the exchange. She went on: “It’s not me blowing this up, it’s the Republicans.”

Mr. Paulson sighed. “I know. I know.”

2. his gesture indicates that this is a ruse, a robbery

I think that's pretty clear.

3. like a kid saying pretty please with sugar on top.

Paulson what a creep and a criminal.

4. I thought you were exaggerating. Holy shit.

He literally was. It's a ploy, do not give in Nancy. He needs to go beg in front of the Maverick and tell him to be a leader and get his party in line. Of course, neither one is going to do that, because that isn't in the script.

I actually liked her line, "I didn't know you were Catholic." Cold, baby, cold. More of that, please.
