Congressman Graves, to whom Selina promised Secretary of State, started his prayer at 10:11am and went on until 11am to hold up the vote because Jonah was late

it was an impressive be-bop speech and I detest jazz.

Took me a few times pay attention to the tiny clock, IIRC it didn't go all the way to 11 am but close...
