She has the job but she never seems to be writing. She doesn't carry a notebook or a pen, that I've seen, which isn't some kind of requisite for a writer or anything, it's just the kind a writer might have… also Hannah never seems to be reading anything, which seems strange to me, you know, for a writer not to be…

Presidents and Senators don't have people killed!

T.S. Eliot handles the subject matter rather neatly in Four Quartets.
