HEATHER:Mr.Hobart,please feel free to elaborate on anything you like.

[00:20.71]I want this interview to feel like a conversation.

[00:23.30]RICHARD:I'll do my best.

[00:25.18]HEATHER:Heather Vialo,WBNN,reporting from Richard Hobart's office.

[00:31.94]Thursday,October 12th.

[00:34.22]Richard Hobart,you're a highly respected and very popular attorney for the State.

[00:38.62]RICHARD:Thank you.

[00:39.91]HEATHER:Isn't that extremely unusual for a public employee?

[00:43.30]RICHARD:I don't know.There are competent civil servants,who do a good job.

[00:47.09]We don't hear very much about them in the media though.It's too bad.

[00:50.88]HEATHER:Sometimes the media discover a white knight 1.Is that how you feel?

[00:54.77]RICHARD:No.I feel that people greatly appreciate

[00:57.96]when their concerns have been addressed.

[00:59.83]HEATHER:Are you going to run for public office?

[01:02.42]RICHARD:I'm not running anywhere at the moment.

[01:05.11]HEATHER:All right.Are you considering entering a race?

[01:08.21]RICHARD:I consider any good opportunity that comes across my desk.Don't you?

[01:12.38]HEATHER:I certainly do.

[01:14.26]HEATHER:Who do you think your opponent will be?

[01:16.63]RICHARD:Have I said,"No comment"yet?

[01:18.72]HEATHER:Not in so many words.But you're good.

[01:21.72]It's very difficult to get answers to some of my questions.

[01:25.13]RICHARD:What can I say?

[01:26.62]HEATHER:"No comment,"evidently!

[01:32.33]YVONNE:I am exhausted 2.Are you?

[01:41.62]NANCY:We have been working almost three weeks without a break.We deserve a day off.

[01:49.10]YVONNE:A day off?Honey,we don't have time for a nap.

[01:56.59]NANCY:Do you want another cup of coffee?

[02:00.36]YVONNE:No thanks.I've been drinking so much,it's losing its effect.

[02:04.66]NANCY:You know what?Forget the coffee.

[02:11.74]Forget the nap.We need to get our blood moving.

[02:15.31]NANCY:Come on,take deep breaths.Do you remember when I quit drinking coffee?

[02:28.51]YVONNE:Yes.You were a monster.

[02:34.80]NANCY:Hey,I'd been drinking six cups a day when I quit.

[02:42.10]Then,when I had quit for...oh...eight months,I started drinking it again.

[02:51.98]And those first cups...wonderful.It was almost worth quitting.

[03:05.09]YVONNE:Please don't do it again.I can't take your withdrawal 3 symptoms.

[03:10.37]NANCY:Let's try a little yoga.

[03:16.25]YVONNE:Oh god.What if we can't get out of these positions?

[03:30.84]NANCY:Take nice,deep breaths.

[03:35.64]YVONNE:I can just hear it on the news:"

[03:37.92]"Two Cambridge women had frozen in yoga positions,

[03:42.60]when their husbands found them tonight."

[03:45.46]NANCY:Deep,cleansing breaths.

[03:50.74]YVONNE:"Doctors at Boston Hospital have been trying to unknot them for six hours."

[03:56.93]NANCY:Feel your energy.

[04:01.51]YVONNE:Feel my energy?Nancy,I can't feel my legs!
