Following the death of her husband, Ray, Suzanne Sugarbaker moved to Washington to fill her husband's seat in congress, dragging along her retarded brother, Jim, and adopted daughter, Desi. When she arrived, the only ones willing to work under her were Sissy, the drunk; Natty, the square; and Malone, the frail housewife.

Natty:
Washington is the only town in America where the appearance of something is much more important than the reality. For instance, if you go into a public restroom and you come out too soon, you didn't wash your hands. If you stay in too long, you molested someone. If you stay in there just the right amount of time, you're slick.
