1
00:00:11,055 --> 00:00:13,965
<i>In all the decisions I have made
in my public life,</i>

2
00:00:14,079 --> 00:00:18,023
<i>I have always tried to do
what was best for the nation.</i>

3
00:00:18,169 --> 00:00:22,163
<i>In the past few days, however,
it has become evident to me</i>

4
00:00:22,799 --> 00:00:27,423
<i>that I no longer have
a strong enough political base</i>

5
00:00:27,569 --> 00:00:30,893
<i>in the Congress to justify
continuing that effort.</i>

6
00:00:31,659 --> 00:00:35,465
<i>Therefore, I shall resign
the presidency</i>

7
00:00:35,549 --> 00:00:37,193
<i>effective at noon tomorrow.</i>

8
00:00:38,379 --> 00:00:42,523
<i>Vice President Ford
will be sworn in as president</i>

9
00:00:42,669 --> 00:00:45,593
<i>at that hour in this office.</i>

10
00:00:46,829 --> 00:00:49,445
<i>As I recall
the high hopes for America</i>

11
00:00:49,529 --> 00:00:52,585
<i>with which we began
this second term,</i>

12
00:00:52,669 --> 00:00:54,005
<i>I feel a great sadness</i>

13
00:00:54,089 --> 00:00:58,013
<i>that I will not be here
in this office working on...</i>

14
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:05,875
Mr. and Mrs. Ford
have joined the Nixons

15
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,425
as they make the last walk out
to Army One, the helicopter.

16
00:01:10,509 --> 00:01:11,405
Congratulations.

17
00:01:11,489 --> 00:01:14,663
Congratulations or condolences?

18
00:01:15,349 --> 00:01:17,983
She's all yours.
Be safe.

19
00:01:20,199 --> 00:01:22,485
There is the
President waving goodbye.

20
00:01:22,569 --> 00:01:24,443
Can you hear the applause?

21
00:01:28,659 --> 00:01:31,625
President Nixon's helicopter
going over the fountains

22
00:01:31,709 --> 00:01:33,553
of the White House south lawn.

23
00:01:33,709 --> 00:01:37,345
I am acutely aware
that you have not elected me

24
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:40,813
as your president
by your ballots,

25
00:01:41,009 --> 00:01:45,913
so I ask you to confirm me as
your president

26
00:01:46,459 --> 00:01:48,213
with your prayers.

27
00:01:48,769 --> 00:01:52,163
I have not campaigned either
for the presidency

28
00:01:52,249 --> 00:01:53,943
or the vice presidency.

29
00:01:54,089 --> 00:01:59,103
I am indebted to no man
and only to one woman,

30
00:01:59,629 --> 00:02:01,483
my dear wife...

31
00:02:04,219 --> 00:02:06,953
...as I begin
this very difficult job.

32
00:02:08,549 --> 00:02:12,943
I have not sought
this enormous responsibility,

33
00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:15,833
but I will not shirk it.

Come on. Push through.
Five more.

54
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:47,475
Hard as you can. You got this.

55
00:03:47,559 --> 00:03:49,055
Don't stop. Come on.

56
00:03:49,139 --> 00:03:51,663
Come on. Come on.

57
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:53,813
Four! Five!

58
00:03:55,529 --> 00:03:58,065
Senator Hillary Clinton
has opened up a huge lead

59
00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:59,615
over her democratic challengers

60
00:03:59,699 --> 00:04:01,875
according to a new
Washington Post ABC News poll.

61
00:04:01,959 --> 00:04:04,705
Senator Hillary Clinton
is still the Democrat to beat.

62
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:08,075
The poll shows support for both
Barack Obama and John Edwards

63
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:09,533
is dropping off.

64
00:04:18,979 --> 00:04:22,313
Can't say I've taken
that route.

65
00:04:22,779 --> 00:04:24,135
Safest way, ma'am.

66
00:04:24,219 --> 00:04:25,823
Great.

67
00:04:27,099 --> 00:04:29,073
I know. Packed.

68
00:04:30,349 --> 00:04:33,665
Mmm. And you're finally on time.

69
00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:35,915
Well, you know,
I didn't wanna miss out

70
00:04:35,999 --> 00:04:38,015
on some one-on-one time
with you.

71
00:04:38,099 --> 00:04:41,195
Yeah, we can't miss
our date night tradition,

72
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,805
even if we have to shut
the whole place down.

73
00:04:43,889 --> 00:04:45,855
- Oh, yeah. Thank you.
- Thank you.

74
00:04:45,939 --> 00:04:47,915
You may not have to worry
about it much longer.

75
00:04:47,999 --> 00:04:52,115
I... I'm still trailing Hillary
by double digits.

76
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:56,803
Yeah, well, she seems to really
want it.

77
00:04:56,959 --> 00:05:01,243
Yeah, she's whopping my ass
in every debate.

78
00:05:01,379 --> 00:05:02,733
Sorry.

79
00:05:04,119 --> 00:05:09,185
You know, my... my team thinks
that I have

80
00:05:09,269 --> 00:05:11,775
- a relatability issue.
- Mm-hmm.

81
00:05:11,859 --> 00:05:16,595
But they've got this idea
on how to ameliorate that.

82
00:05:16,679 --> 00:05:19,065
Is it to stop you
from casually using words

83
00:05:19,149 --> 00:05:21,583
like relatability
and ameliorate?

84
00:05:23,109 --> 00:05:24,695
Actually, it's you.

85
00:05:24,779 --> 00:05:26,985
All right. Look,

86
00:05:27,069 --> 00:05:28,573
you're stunning.

87
00:05:29,119 --> 00:05:31,195
- No, you are, and you're...
- Ugh.

88
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,013
You're brilliant and relatable...

89
00:05:34,339 --> 00:05:36,255
I don't know,
it's the best word for it.

90
00:05:36,339 --> 00:05:39,725
You are relatable and certainly
more relatable than...

91
00:05:39,809 --> 00:05:42,235
I don't know,
some half-Kenyan brother

92
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:44,165
from fucking Hawaii, you know?

93
00:05:44,249 --> 00:05:47,273
Okay, then what does
all of this entail?

94
00:05:48,139 --> 00:05:50,113
Well...

95
00:05:50,969 --> 00:05:53,235
a few speaking engagements...

96
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:55,055
- No, no, listen. But we'll...
- Barack...

97
00:05:55,139 --> 00:05:57,435
We'll work the schedule around
the kids. It'll be family first.

98
00:05:57,519 --> 00:05:59,395
I don't know, you know?

99
00:05:59,479 --> 00:06:01,895
And you know I don't love
public speaking.

100
00:06:01,979 --> 00:06:05,375
I get it,
but you're an amazing speaker.

101
00:06:05,459 --> 00:06:08,905
And it'd be a chance

102
00:06:08,989 --> 00:06:12,003
for us to work together
as a team.

103
00:06:12,819 --> 00:06:14,423
And I miss you.

104
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:18,143
There you go
with that sweet talking.

105
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:23,133
So you'll think about it?

106
00:06:24,569 --> 00:06:26,323
I'll think about it.

107
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:28,255
All right.

108
00:06:28,339 --> 00:06:29,815
<i>"Yes We Can Can" playing...</i>

109
00:06:29,899 --> 00:06:31,425
- I'll take that as a win.
- Thank you.

110
00:06:31,509 --> 00:06:34,435
After you give me dessert,
I'll think about it.

111
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:37,623
- Oh, you're gonna get dessert.
- Yeah.

112
00:06:37,989 --> 00:06:40,885
No one knows more about
the character, the heart

113
00:06:40,969 --> 00:06:43,225
or the intention of Barack Obama

114
00:06:43,309 --> 00:06:46,445
than the woman who agreed
to take this journey with him.

115
00:06:46,529 --> 00:06:49,475
She's gonna make some
kind of tremendous

00:06:49,559 --> 00:06:51,843
First Lady of this nation.

117

Ladies and gentlemen,

This has been an amazing year
for us.

139
00:07:56,389 --> 00:07:59,203
Just think where we were
one year ago.

140
00:07:59,409 --> 00:08:04,165
Barack was standing in front
of the State Capitol in Illinois

141
00:08:04,249 --> 00:08:07,263
to announce that he was running
for president.

142
00:08:11,239 --> 00:08:14,463
What we have learned
over this year

143
00:08:15,059 --> 00:08:17,973
is that hope
is making a comeback.

144
00:08:18,119 --> 00:08:19,625

00:09:03,369 --> 00:09:04,455
We better get going.

156
00:09:04,539 --> 00:09:05,465
<i>Song ends...</i>

157
00:09:05,549 --> 00:09:08,735
- Mel?
- Fucking racist fucks.

158
00:09:08,819 --> 00:09:10,883
- What's going on?
- Sorry.

159
00:09:11,459 --> 00:09:13,425
They... They twisted your words.

160
00:09:13,509 --> 00:09:15,425
- What? What?
- They twisted your words.

161
00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:19,033
"I'm proud of my country
for the first time."

162
00:09:20,249 --> 00:09:24,233
Shit.
"I never loved my country."

163
00:09:24,539 --> 00:09:25,813
Right.

164
00:09:26,359 --> 00:09:28,105
- Okay.
- Come on. Let's keep moving.

165
00:09:28,189 --> 00:09:29,485
Now that her husband

166
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:31,445
is the Democrats'
presumptive nominee,

167
00:09:31,529 --> 00:09:34,045
Michelle Obama is expected
to come under

168
00:09:34,129 --> 00:09:36,485
ever greater scrutiny
from the media.

169
00:09:36,569 --> 00:09:38,705
She's always angry every time
she gets on television.

170
00:09:38,789 --> 00:09:42,285
I think the American people
deserve a thorough examination

171
00:09:42,369 --> 00:09:43,495
of everything about her.

172
00:09:43,579 --> 00:09:45,803
The angry Black woman
First Lady?

173
00:10:08,599 --> 00:10:09,605
Ready?

174
00:10:09,689 --> 00:10:11,685
Ma'am, we believe it's best
you take the car.

175
00:10:11,769 --> 00:10:14,125
I wanna walk my girls
to school today.

176
00:10:14,209 --> 00:10:16,525
It's a beautiful morning,
and we need the fresh air

177
00:10:16,609 --> 00:10:18,655
and a break from all of this.
Right, girls?

178
00:10:18,739 --> 00:10:20,815
- Yeah.
- Yes.

179
00:10:20,899 --> 00:10:22,735
- Michelle!
- Michelle!

180
00:10:22,819 --> 00:10:25,715
<i>Michelle, do you
have any terrorist affiliations?</i>

181
00:10:25,799 --> 00:10:27,625
<i>Do you hate America
or Americans?</i>

182
00:10:27,709 --> 00:10:30,313
<i>Why are you not
proud to be an American?</i>

183
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:34,175
What do you think about your
father running for office?

184
00:10:34,259 --> 00:10:36,385
How is the campaign
impacting your children's lives?

185
00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:38,363
Just one more
question. Did any...

186
00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:45,363
I will not respond
to these lies,

187
00:10:46,259 --> 00:10:50,865
nor will I stand for you
bringing my girls into all this.

188
00:10:50,949 --> 00:10:53,175
That's what we're not gonna do.

189
00:10:53,259 --> 00:10:56,825
But I will say this.

190
00:10:56,909 --> 00:11:00,965
I am genuinely proud
of all the excitement

191
00:11:01,049 --> 00:11:03,673
building around
Barack's campaign.

192
00:11:03,839 --> 00:11:05,483
It makes me hopeful.

193
00:11:06,229 --> 00:11:11,845
People of all shades and...
And ages

194
00:11:11,929 --> 00:11:16,153
and... and creeds
all working together.

195
00:11:17,099 --> 00:11:18,693
Now, if you don't mind,

196
00:11:19,039 --> 00:11:21,613
I'm gonna walk my daughters
to school.

197
00:11:24,229 --> 00:11:25,703
Come on, girls.

198
00:11:57,879 --> 00:11:59,385
Why, thank you.

199
00:11:59,469 --> 00:12:00,755
- Ma'am.
- Mrs. Roosevelt.

200
00:12:00,839 --> 00:12:02,023
Earl!

201
00:12:02,149 --> 00:12:03,925
I'll be escorting you
to the White House.

202
00:12:04,009 --> 00:12:08,493
Yes, I think I'm going to take
the long way.

203
00:12:08,889 --> 00:12:10,713
Clear the cobwebs.

204
00:12:10,849 --> 00:12:12,433
Don't ask.

205
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,225
Mrs. Roosevelt, ma'am,

206
00:12:14,309 --> 00:12:17,065
I must insist you get in the car.
It's for your own safety.

207
00:12:17,149 --> 00:12:20,905
No one wants to hurt me.
I'm not important enough.

208
00:12:20,989 --> 00:12:22,685
Oh, I don't know,
Mrs. R.

209
00:12:22,769 --> 00:12:25,553
I might hurt you
if you keep it up like this.

210
00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:33,423
Oh. Oh, that's wonderful.

211
00:12:35,829 --> 00:12:38,005
Hello. What's your name?

212
00:12:38,089 --> 00:12:39,835
- I'm Eleanor.
- Oh, no.

213
00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:40,935
You're, uh...

214
00:12:41,019 --> 00:12:43,123
Eleanor. Eleanor Roosevelt.

215
00:12:43,259 --> 00:12:45,675
So nice to meet you.
What's your name?

216
00:12:45,759 --> 00:12:46,765
John.

217
00:12:46,849 --> 00:12:49,015
- Hello, John.
- Mrs. R., we should really...

218
00:12:49,099 --> 00:12:51,953
That is one hardy
handshake. What work do you do?

219
00:12:52,579 --> 00:12:55,685
I don't do any work. I'm busted.

220
00:12:55,769 --> 00:12:57,025
Of course.

221
00:12:57,109 --> 00:13:01,573
I'm... I'm so sorry.
What work did you do?

222
00:13:01,739 --> 00:13:04,655
I forged steel.
Built skyscrapers in New York.

223
00:13:04,739 --> 00:13:08,143
Oh,
what a wonderful skill.

224
00:13:08,469 --> 00:13:10,503
You must be so proud.

225
00:13:10,919 --> 00:13:14,523
Well, you're a part of history,
John.

226
00:13:14,999 --> 00:13:16,973
Such a pleasure to meet you.

227
00:13:17,879 --> 00:13:19,255
And you, all of you.

228
00:13:19,339 --> 00:13:21,715
- Thank you so much. Thank you.
- Thank you, ma'am.

229
00:13:21,799 --> 00:13:23,715
Oh, I do like your hat.

230
00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:26,613
- Oh, that's very nice.
- Thank you though!

231
00:13:36,059 --> 00:13:37,805
- There you are.
- So sorry.

232
00:13:37,889 --> 00:13:39,913
I feared you weren't coming.

233
00:13:40,609 --> 00:13:42,905
Well, it's a pleasure
to see you, Eleanor.

234
00:13:42,989 --> 00:13:45,905
- And you too, Lou.
- Shall we make a start?

235
00:13:45,989 --> 00:13:48,195
I thought we'd have tea
and a light breakfast

236
00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:49,695
before I give you the tour.

237
00:13:49,779 --> 00:13:52,803
Of course. That would be lovely.

238
00:13:57,829 --> 00:14:01,603
I'm sure you're excited
to begin the decorating process.

239
00:14:02,139 --> 00:14:05,715
Oh, yes.
Mrs. Roosevelt certainly is.

240
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:08,985
You can't go wrong
with an oriental silk.

241
00:14:09,069 --> 00:14:11,315
No, you most certainly cannot.

242
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:12,515
Sorry.

243
00:14:12,599 --> 00:14:15,663
And this is the master bedroom.

244
00:14:19,669 --> 00:14:22,753
That door over there
is your dressing room.

245
00:14:22,869 --> 00:14:24,495
I used it as my study,

246
00:14:24,579 --> 00:14:28,393
but they always called it
the dressing room regardless.

247
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:32,623
The Wilsons used it
as a private dining room.

248
00:14:42,079 --> 00:14:43,933
What on Earth?

249
00:14:54,449 --> 00:14:58,145
Nine presidents
brought their slaves here.

250
00:14:58,229 --> 00:15:00,083
I never knew...

251
00:15:00,899 --> 00:15:04,445
It wasn't recorded how many
of them required their slaves

252
00:15:04,529 --> 00:15:07,333
to have access
to their bedrooms.

253
00:15:16,869 --> 00:15:18,285
Well, I hope you're
making me sound

254
00:15:18,369 --> 00:15:20,183
interesting and intelligent.

255
00:15:20,669 --> 00:15:24,063
- And possibly even fascinating.
- Oh!

256
00:15:24,709 --> 00:15:26,403
I'll do what I can.

257
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:30,635
Can I ask you something

258
00:15:30,719 --> 00:15:33,193
- Of course. Always.
- Off the record?

259
00:15:34,179 --> 00:15:39,033
How do you really feel
about being First Lady?

260
00:15:39,859 --> 00:15:41,423
Oh.

261
00:15:43,229 --> 00:15:44,833
Well...

262
00:15:45,899 --> 00:15:48,945
I'm not thrilled about the fact

263
00:15:49,029 --> 00:15:54,035
that my title refers to my sex
rather than my skills.

264
00:15:54,119 --> 00:15:56,495
- Yeah.
- Mmm.

265
00:15:56,579 --> 00:16:00,053
Does sound like a crude term
a man might use for his ex-wife.

266
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:07,005
And it's recently been made
very clear to me

267
00:16:07,089 --> 00:16:11,845
that I'm to smile, nod,
and gaze adoringly at Franklin

268
00:16:11,929 --> 00:16:15,565
every time we happen to be
in the same room together.

269
00:16:15,649 --> 00:16:17,173
Mmm...

270
00:16:17,319 --> 00:16:19,345
Well, what does that look like?

271
00:16:19,429 --> 00:16:21,543
Oh. Well...

272
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:26,043
That's awful.

273
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:33,525
Oh, that's my daughter Anna.

274
00:16:33,609 --> 00:16:35,833
She's just gone through
a divorce.

275
00:16:36,619 --> 00:16:38,523
Off the record.

276
00:16:39,049 --> 00:16:40,745
It was the right thing to do,

277
00:16:40,829 --> 00:16:44,745
but her grandmother
is apoplectic.

278
00:16:44,829 --> 00:16:48,255
So, she's a Progressive
like you?

279
00:16:48,339 --> 00:16:51,813
Yes, I suppose she is.

280
00:16:52,629 --> 00:16:54,653
Good for her.

281
00:16:56,029 --> 00:16:57,863
Well, thank you, Hick.

282
00:16:58,119 --> 00:17:01,893
Always. Now get to it.

283
00:17:07,019 --> 00:17:08,085
Hello!

284
00:17:08,169 --> 00:17:10,685
- Hello, darling. How are you?
- I'm good.

285
00:17:10,769 --> 00:17:12,983
Sis, come say hello.

286
00:17:14,339 --> 00:17:15,545
Little Anna.

287
00:17:15,629 --> 00:17:17,485
Oh, Louis.

288
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:18,873
Look who's growing.

289
00:17:19,389 --> 00:17:21,075
How is the speech coming along?

290
00:17:21,159 --> 00:17:22,665
The President would like
your thoughts.

291
00:17:22,749 --> 00:17:25,945
Well, Sis and I are going to
grab sundaes at the restaurant.

292
00:17:26,029 --> 00:17:30,285
We were wondering if you could
come but seems like a busy one.

293
00:17:30,369 --> 00:17:31,575
Oh, it's a busy one.

294
00:17:31,659 --> 00:17:33,705
Well, you'll have to get a scoop
on me.

295
00:17:33,789 --> 00:17:35,545
All right, more for us.
Let's go, chickadee.

296
00:17:35,629 --> 00:17:38,103
- Have fun.
- Bye. Bye.

297
00:17:39,339 --> 00:17:41,533
He asked for me himself?

298
00:17:41,859 --> 00:17:43,213
Almost.

299
00:17:44,179 --> 00:17:46,123
All right.

300
00:18:07,349 --> 00:18:09,223
Hello, Missus.

301
00:18:12,839 --> 00:18:15,835
Have you been calling?
I was out for meetings.

302
00:18:15,919 --> 00:18:18,593
No, no. I've been wrapped up.

303
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:21,613
What do you have so far?

304
00:18:23,889 --> 00:18:25,475
A slippery fish.

305
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:27,993
Mm-mmm. May I?

306
00:18:28,569 --> 00:18:30,593
No, it's not ready yet.

307
00:18:32,939 --> 00:18:36,265
Is it true that I am not to have

308
00:18:36,349 --> 00:18:38,725
a proper job
in your administration?

309
00:18:38,809 --> 00:18:40,645
Will you stop listening
to Louis?

310
00:18:40,729 --> 00:18:43,033
Well, give me something else
to hear.

311
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,673
Fine.

312
00:18:47,769 --> 00:18:50,303
I am not entirely comfortable.

313
00:18:50,519 --> 00:18:52,705
Nobody else is getting
two appointments.

314
00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:55,813
I'm not asking
for two appointments.

315
00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:01,005
I'll think about it.

316
00:19:01,089 --> 00:19:03,043
Don't push me off, Franklin.

317
00:19:03,139 --> 00:19:07,773
I am your wife,
not one of your girlfriends.

318
00:19:13,509 --> 00:19:14,985
And I need to work.

319
00:19:15,069 --> 00:19:16,695
You know that.

320
00:19:16,779 --> 00:19:18,815
You have made yourself
abundantly clear.

321
00:19:18,899 --> 00:19:21,923
You will work.

322
00:19:22,149 --> 00:19:23,713
What is it?

323
00:19:24,619 --> 00:19:28,345
Sir, if you're not busy, we'd
better get back to the speech.

324
00:19:28,429 --> 00:19:31,585
Not busy at all, boys.
Come on. Let's get back to it.

325
00:19:31,669 --> 00:19:34,915
Let's start with this wording
right here.

326
00:19:34,999 --> 00:19:37,085
"Attempts by
the previous administration

327
00:19:37,169 --> 00:19:39,755
were lost on tired
and old tradition,

328
00:19:39,839 --> 00:19:41,173
leaving you fearful."

329
00:19:41,299 --> 00:19:43,713
Now, I like the idea of that,
the sentiment,

330
00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:45,373
but it's lacking punch.

331
00:19:45,569 --> 00:19:47,443
It... It feels passive this way.

332
00:20:06,029 --> 00:20:10,353
Oh, yeah.

333
00:20:18,129 --> 00:20:21,085
Could someone please
come collect something

334
00:20:21,169 --> 00:20:23,693
and take it
to the president-elect?

335
00:20:29,059 --> 00:20:32,493
"Nothing is so much
to be feared...

336
00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:34,993
as fear".

337
00:20:41,859 --> 00:20:45,325
I am certain
that my fellow Americans expect

338
00:20:45,409 --> 00:20:46,745
that on my induction,

339
00:20:46,829 --> 00:20:50,045
this is preeminently the time
to speak the truth.

340
00:20:50,129 --> 00:20:53,483
The whole truth,
frankly and boldly.

341
00:20:53,879 --> 00:20:55,795
Nor need we shrink

342
00:20:55,879 --> 00:21:00,275
from honestly facing conditions
in our country today.

343
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,973
This great nation will endure
as it has endured.

344
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,713
We'll revive and we'll prosper.

345
00:21:18,019 --> 00:21:19,873
So, first of all,

346
00:21:20,639 --> 00:21:23,253
let me assert my firm belief

347
00:21:23,449 --> 00:21:28,035
that the only thing we have
to fear is fear itself.

348
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,553
Oh, yes.

349
00:21:35,419 --> 00:21:38,305
May God protect each
and every one of you

350
00:21:38,389 --> 00:21:40,705
and guide me in the coming days.

351
00:21:40,789 --> 00:21:42,093
Thank you.

352
00:21:42,209 --> 00:21:44,523
Come.

353
00:21:46,929 --> 00:21:50,845
Oh, that was a very
powerful speech, wasn't it?

354
00:21:50,929 --> 00:21:52,595
Mmm, yes, it was brilliant.

355
00:21:52,679 --> 00:21:57,325
Yes, Franklin always knows
just the right thing to say.

356
00:21:57,409 --> 00:21:59,005
It's one of his many gifts.

357
00:21:59,089 --> 00:22:01,345
One of the great pleasures
of marriage

358
00:22:01,429 --> 00:22:04,525
is savoring your husband's
finest moments.

359
00:22:04,609 --> 00:22:07,075
Second only to savoring that
of your sons.

360
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:08,593
Thank you!

361
00:22:09,269 --> 00:22:10,663
Yes.

362
00:22:12,449 --> 00:22:15,915
I don't believe I've
ever smiled

363
00:22:15,999 --> 00:22:18,853
for so many hours in a row.

364
00:22:21,749 --> 00:22:25,443
I do think they should
issue warnings.

365
00:22:26,169 --> 00:22:29,823
Inauguration festivities
may cause frozen face.

366
00:22:31,639 --> 00:22:36,445
Is it stuck? Am I doomed
to be a grinning fool?

367
00:22:36,529 --> 00:22:40,163
You are the farthest thing
from a fool I have ever known.

368
00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:46,065
I think your speech went over
very well, Franklin.

369
00:22:46,149 --> 00:22:48,503
- Thanks to you.
- Oh, don't be silly.

370
00:22:50,109 --> 00:22:54,923
You really are so good
at conveying hope, you know.

371
00:22:56,619 --> 00:22:59,365
You think you've always
been that way?

372
00:22:59,669 --> 00:23:03,565
My mother says even as a child
I had a soothing presence.

373
00:23:03,649 --> 00:23:05,755
Oh, soothing is one thing.

374
00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:10,715
It's quite another to lead a
country out of its darkest hour.

375
00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:14,135
Well, you were instrumental
in helping crafting my message.

376
00:23:14,219 --> 00:23:16,493
So I'm grateful for you.

377
00:23:17,389 --> 00:23:19,603
We make a good team.

378
00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:24,083
Yes, we do.

379
00:23:26,449 --> 00:23:28,493
Should we go to bed?

380
00:23:29,569 --> 00:23:34,513
Oh, I cannot think of anything
I'd like to do more.

381
00:23:37,809 --> 00:23:41,043
Good night, Franklin.

382
00:23:41,929 --> 00:23:44,533
Sweet dreams.

383
00:23:45,749 --> 00:23:50,523
Congratulations! You so
deserve it.

384
00:23:51,299 --> 00:23:52,555
Here we are!

385
00:23:52,639 --> 00:23:56,015
Yes. Here we are indeed.

386
00:23:56,099 --> 00:23:57,525
Oh! Hello.
What's your name?

387
00:23:57,609 --> 00:24:00,045
- Charles.
- Charles, I'm Eleanor.

388
00:24:00,129 --> 00:24:02,863
I'll be seeing quite a lot
of you I think.

389
00:24:06,329 --> 00:24:07,933
More champagne, sir?

390
00:24:09,249 --> 00:24:12,525
I think we should move over
to the whiskey. Don't you?

391
00:24:12,609 --> 00:24:14,213
Very well, sir.

392
00:24:48,439 --> 00:24:50,525
<i>Bob, a lot has been written
about the fact</i>

393
00:24:50,609 --> 00:24:53,155
<i>that president-elect Obama
is looking</i>

394
00:24:53,239 --> 00:24:58,245
<i>into ways to reverse various
Bush administration policies.</i>

395
00:24:58,329 --> 00:25:00,672
<i>Is there danger
in doing that too quickly?</i>

396
00:25:00,756 --> 00:25:03,180
They're asleep.

397
00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:07,370
Oh. I don't wanna keep
missing bedtime.

398
00:25:07,454 --> 00:25:09,335
<i>- ...these are things the, uh,</i>
-Mmm.

399
00:25:09,419 --> 00:25:12,335
<i>President has, uh, done
by executive order,</i>

400
00:25:12,419 --> 00:25:14,255
<i>and they can be, uh,
easily undone.</i>

401
00:25:14,339 --> 00:25:16,193
<i>I think that's some
of the first...</i>

402
00:25:19,146 --> 00:25:22,564
In four years, I don't want
to look back and think,

403
00:25:23,077 --> 00:25:26,481
"What did I become
living in that house?"

404
00:25:28,163 --> 00:25:31,977
Well, you know,
in... in eight years, uh,

405
00:25:32,689 --> 00:25:36,845
I think you are still gonna be
that bougie lawyer

406
00:25:36,982 --> 00:25:38,873
with that Audi

407
00:25:38,957 --> 00:25:42,111
and that fucking attitude
that I fell in love with.

408
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:50,023
- South Side forever!
- That's right. Mm-hmm.

409
00:25:50,112 --> 00:25:54,822
Mmm. We need a road map, Barack.

410
00:25:54,982 --> 00:25:56,805
I will not miss the girls
growing up.

411
00:25:56,889 --> 00:26:01,135
Mmm, no. Me neither.
We won't let that happen.

412
00:26:01,219 --> 00:26:03,376
- Mm-hmm.
- All right? I promise you.

413
00:26:03,460 --> 00:26:04,884
Mmm.

414
00:26:04,998 --> 00:26:08,548
You are gonna be
a dope First Lady.

415
00:26:08,912 --> 00:26:11,992
Michelle Obama née Robinson

416
00:26:12,076 --> 00:26:14,550
has never failed a test.

417
00:26:15,239 --> 00:26:16,743
- You're right.
- That's right.

418
00:26:16,827 --> 00:26:19,978
- I got this.
- Yeah, you do. Shake it girl!

419
00:26:20,199 --> 00:26:23,820
What I don't got is all those
clothes you got on the floor,

420
00:26:23,904 --> 00:26:27,455
Barack Obama,
President of the United Sta...

421
00:26:27,539 --> 00:26:29,445
- Pick up your clothes!
- I got it. I got it. I got you.

422
00:26:29,529 --> 00:26:30,713
Mm-hmm.

423
00:26:31,429 --> 00:26:32,516
Mmm.

424
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,710
I got this.

425
00:26:33,794 --> 00:26:36,018
Clothes all over.

426
00:26:36,419 --> 00:26:38,290
I should really have somebody
to help me

427
00:26:38,374 --> 00:26:39,993
- tidy this thing up, right?
- Mmm.

428
00:26:40,077 --> 00:26:41,845
I got nuclear codes
to think about.

429
00:26:41,929 --> 00:26:43,573
Mmm.

430
00:26:51,058 --> 00:26:52,645
You okay?

431
00:26:52,729 --> 00:26:55,173
How do we feel about Gwen?

432
00:26:55,569 --> 00:26:57,923
- Morning, Gwen. Hi.
- Hi, Gwen.

433
00:26:58,399 --> 00:27:00,763
Madam First Lady.

434
00:27:04,909 --> 00:27:06,253
We're already behind schedule.

435
00:27:06,749 --> 00:27:09,453
I had to drop the girls off
for their first day at school.

436
00:27:09,579 --> 00:27:11,375
Oh!
I thought Mrs. Robinson

437
00:27:11,459 --> 00:27:12,795
and Secret Service
were handling that.

438
00:27:12,879 --> 00:27:15,295
My daughters are not a matter
to be handled.

439
00:27:15,379 --> 00:27:17,215
I had to ensure
that they settled in.

440
00:27:17,299 --> 00:27:18,443
Of course.

441
00:27:18,719 --> 00:27:21,005
So, we want to hit
the ground running.

442
00:27:21,089 --> 00:27:22,635
And with Rahm's approval,

443
00:27:22,719 --> 00:27:24,885
my team and I have come up
with several ideas for you.

444
00:27:24,969 --> 00:27:27,123
Rahm has approved...

445
00:27:27,769 --> 00:27:29,703
Okay. Let me hear 'em.

446
00:27:31,439 --> 00:27:36,235
He feels, and we all feel, that
a White House garden project

447
00:27:36,319 --> 00:27:38,195
could be a great opportunity

448
00:27:38,279 --> 00:27:40,593
for people to see a new side
of you.

449
00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:44,365
The First Lady tending
the garden,

450
00:27:44,449 --> 00:27:47,143
growing fruits and vegetables
with local kids.

451
00:27:47,256 --> 00:27:49,210
Great photo ops.

452
00:27:49,294 --> 00:27:50,665
Good news, team.

453
00:27:50,749 --> 00:27:52,245
The men in the West Wing
have given us

454
00:27:52,329 --> 00:27:54,353
the green light
to plant some carrots.

455
00:27:55,669 --> 00:27:57,545
Uh, that's not...
That's not what I meant.

456
00:27:57,629 --> 00:28:00,013
Um, all right.
This, uh, this is for you.

457
00:28:01,759 --> 00:28:03,885
Mrs. Ford won't be able
to attend the inauguration.

458
00:28:03,969 --> 00:28:07,225
She's almost 90,
but she wanted to write to you.

459
00:28:07,309 --> 00:28:09,663
Betty Ford wrote me a letter.

460
00:28:09,929 --> 00:28:11,073
Wow.

461
00:28:12,809 --> 00:28:14,895
We have a fitting
for your inauguration gown.

462
00:28:14,979 --> 00:28:19,008
And this is great,
Vogue has offered a feature

463
00:28:19,092 --> 00:28:21,323
with Annie Leibovitz
to shoot the cover.

464
00:28:21,449 --> 00:28:22,593
Amazing, right?

465
00:28:22,749 --> 00:28:26,843
Sure. Excellent opportunity
to talk about rutabagas.

466
00:28:29,295 --> 00:28:30,745
What's a rutabaga?

467
00:28:30,829 --> 00:28:33,285
- A turnip, I believe.
- Come on, Gwen.

468
00:28:33,369 --> 00:28:34,455
I spoke throughout the campaign

469
00:28:34,539 --> 00:28:36,375
about civic duty,
unemployment and...

470
00:28:36,459 --> 00:28:39,715
And you were incredible. And
now we're in the White House.

471
00:28:39,799 --> 00:28:42,295
And the team
in the West Wing wanna shape

472
00:28:42,379 --> 00:28:43,715
and help you grow
into your new role.

473
00:28:43,799 --> 00:28:46,595
I'm a lawyer
and an expert in health care.

474
00:28:46,679 --> 00:28:49,235
They wanna turn me
into a Black Martha Stewart?

475
00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:51,435
I meant no disrespect,
but Rahm feels that...

476
00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:53,645
You know, I'm looking forward

477
00:28:53,729 --> 00:28:55,605
to hearing all about
Rahm's feelings,

478
00:28:55,689 --> 00:28:57,275
so why don't you let him know

479
00:28:57,359 --> 00:28:59,250
that I would like some time
with him.

480
00:28:59,334 --> 00:29:03,213
- I'll do that.
- Okay. Okay.

481
00:29:04,989 --> 00:29:08,844
We have a very important meeting
coming up next Tuesday that is...

482
00:29:08,928 --> 00:29:10,615
Dear Mrs. Obama,

483
00:29:10,699 --> 00:29:14,625
you probably feel
so overwhelmed today.

484
00:29:14,709 --> 00:29:18,171
You can't imagine how unprepared
I felt.

485
00:29:18,255 --> 00:29:20,463
But the job will find you.

486
00:29:20,589 --> 00:29:22,795
It has a way of doing that.

487
00:29:22,879 --> 00:29:25,595
You are forever a part
of history now

488
00:29:25,679 --> 00:29:28,323
but will always be
one of a kind.

489
00:29:29,059 --> 00:29:31,723
Today, you'll probably feel
like you have nothing in common

490
00:29:32,099 --> 00:29:35,333
with all of the women who
were First Ladies before you.

491
00:29:35,849 --> 00:29:39,373
Trust me when I say
we all felt that way.

492
00:29:39,769 --> 00:29:41,673
Gonna miss this place.

493
00:29:50,579 --> 00:29:51,955
We'll have fun in our new house.

494
00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:53,183
Mm-hmm.

495
00:29:53,619 --> 00:29:55,035
Sleeping in our
separate bedrooms,

496
00:29:55,119 --> 00:29:58,603
like a proper presidential
husband and his wife.

497
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:00,375
That's not happening.

498
00:30:00,459 --> 00:30:01,603
Better not be.

499
00:30:01,919 --> 00:30:04,335
Though, after this week,
I might change my mind.

500
00:30:04,419 --> 00:30:06,023
Don't you dare.

501
00:30:08,049 --> 00:30:10,863
You're gonna make
a terrific First Lady.

502
00:30:23,271 --> 00:30:25,695
Ford residence. This is Betty.

503
00:30:25,779 --> 00:30:27,262
Madam First Lady?

504
00:30:27,346 --> 00:30:32,705
No, uh... Y-Yes, yes. I mean,
that's me.

505
00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:34,865
My name is Debbie Winthrop.

506
00:30:34,949 --> 00:30:37,995
I was Mrs. Nixon's
social secretary.

507
00:30:38,079 --> 00:30:40,755
Of course. Yes, I remember you.

508
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:43,255
We were wondering
what you wanted to do

509
00:30:43,339 --> 00:30:45,313
for the upcoming State Dinner.

510
00:30:45,407 --> 00:30:46,936
The what?

511
00:30:47,020 --> 00:30:51,743
Uh, King Hussein of Jordan
is coming in four days, ma'am.

512
00:30:53,797 --> 00:30:57,161
I see. I see.

513
00:30:57,809 --> 00:31:01,275
And the idea is he'll want
something to eat

514
00:31:01,359 --> 00:31:03,947
after that long trip.

515
00:31:04,319 --> 00:31:05,793
And the queen, ma'am.

516
00:31:07,149 --> 00:31:08,793
Of course.

517
00:31:10,325 --> 00:31:12,618
Uh, well...

518
00:31:13,315 --> 00:31:15,915
I wish someone would've told me
about this.

519
00:31:15,999 --> 00:31:20,625
We told Pat Nixon, ma'am.
The former First Lady.

520
00:31:20,709 --> 00:31:22,710
Yes, I know who Pat Nixon is.

521
00:31:22,794 --> 00:31:24,255
Of course.

522
00:31:24,339 --> 00:31:25,460
Let me give it some thought,

523
00:31:25,544 --> 00:31:29,329
and I'll get back to you
as soon as I can.

524
00:31:29,678 --> 00:31:31,755
Okay.
Thank you very much, ma'am.

525
00:31:31,839 --> 00:31:34,414
Okay. Thank you for calling.

526
00:31:34,498 --> 00:31:36,134
Goodbye.

527
00:31:45,732 --> 00:31:47,985
<i>I'll move into the White House.</i>

528
00:31:48,069 --> 00:31:50,704
<i>I'll do the best I can.</i>

529
00:31:51,199 --> 00:31:55,655
<i>And if they don't like it,
then they can kick me out,</i>

530
00:31:55,739 --> 00:31:58,203
<i>but they can't make me somebody
I'm not.</i>

531
00:32:02,829 --> 00:32:04,983
She's totally unsuited
for the role.

532
00:32:05,106 --> 00:32:07,540
Well, she seems very confident
to me.

533
00:32:07,849 --> 00:32:09,478
That's the problem.

534
00:32:09,879 --> 00:32:11,812
I don't wanna get into details,
but, um,

535
00:32:11,896 --> 00:32:13,954
she's had her fair share
of personal struggles.

536
00:32:14,038 --> 00:32:15,335
We all know the lights in here,

537
00:32:15,419 --> 00:32:18,095
they tend to flush that sort of
thing right out into the open,

538
00:32:18,179 --> 00:32:19,443
so that's where you come in.

539
00:32:19,584 --> 00:32:24,043
We want you to stay on. Keep the
East Wing running smoothly.

540
00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:26,145
Of course. That's my job.

541
00:32:26,229 --> 00:32:28,815
But we're counting on
you to guide the First Lady into

542
00:32:28,899 --> 00:32:32,553
taking a more reserved Pat-
Nixon-type approach to things.

543
00:32:32,949 --> 00:32:35,155
Oh, show her the art of facade.

544
00:32:35,239 --> 00:32:37,017
Encourage discretion.

545
00:32:37,264 --> 00:32:40,995
Have you met the First Lady?

546
00:32:41,079 --> 00:32:44,210
You can start by limiting,
preferably canceling,

547
00:32:44,294 --> 00:32:46,545
any upcoming events
and gatherings,

548
00:32:46,629 --> 00:32:47,875
starting with the State Dinner.

549
00:32:47,959 --> 00:32:49,675
Well, I already told her
that was happening.

550
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:51,715
We have a meeting about it,
uh, shortly.

551
00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:54,403
I know you can steer her
towards canceling.

552
00:32:54,810 --> 00:32:56,039
And if I can't?

553
00:32:56,123 --> 00:32:59,945
We're confident.
You can convince her woman-to-woman.

554
00:33:01,809 --> 00:33:07,220
You know, Mrs. Ford's
good nature and candor

555
00:33:07,349 --> 00:33:09,460
might be just the thing
the White House needs right now.

556
00:33:09,544 --> 00:33:11,367
She really seems quite capable.

557
00:33:11,451 --> 00:33:13,281
Debbie.
I know that you understand

558
00:33:13,365 --> 00:33:14,649
how vitally important it is

559
00:33:14,733 --> 00:33:16,944
that this party hold the reigns
of this country.

560
00:33:17,028 --> 00:33:18,570
In less than two years,
the president's

561
00:33:18,654 --> 00:33:20,075
gonna have to run
for his office.

562
00:33:20,159 --> 00:33:23,245
And so, the smaller
that Mrs. Ford's role is

563
00:33:23,329 --> 00:33:26,931
and the less that we hear
about her thoughts, opinions...

564
00:33:27,015 --> 00:33:29,829
The less noise she makes.

565
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,236
Thank you.

566
00:33:35,129 --> 00:33:37,289
- Madam First Lady.
- Good morning.

567
00:33:37,373 --> 00:33:38,765
Welcome to the White House,
ma'am.

568
00:33:38,849 --> 00:33:40,595
- Madam First Lady.
- Welcome Madam First Lady.

569
00:33:40,679 --> 00:33:43,185
Good morning, Donald. I'm so,
so sorry I'm late, Debbie.

570
00:33:43,269 --> 00:33:46,065
- I tend to run a little behind.
- Let me show you to your office.

571
00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:49,413
Donald, so nice of you
to greet me on my first day.

572
00:33:49,502 --> 00:33:51,586
- Betty Ford.
- Good morning.

573
00:33:51,670 --> 00:33:52,775
You don't have to speak
with them.

574
00:33:52,859 --> 00:33:54,115
What's your first day been like?

575
00:33:54,199 --> 00:33:56,492
Well, I don't know yet.
I just got here.

576
00:33:56,576 --> 00:33:58,800
But it's all very exciting,
isn't it?

577
00:33:58,884 --> 00:33:59,885
Just keep walking, ma'am.

578
00:33:59,969 --> 00:34:01,615
What's your opinion on whether
your husband

579
00:34:01,699 --> 00:34:03,000
will pardon President Nixon?

580
00:34:03,084 --> 00:34:04,625
"No comment."
"No comment" is fine.

581
00:34:04,709 --> 00:34:07,787
I know my husband,
or the president,

582
00:34:07,871 --> 00:34:10,008
is eager to move forward

583
00:34:10,092 --> 00:34:11,928
with his new administration,

584
00:34:12,012 --> 00:34:16,916
and which I'm sure will be very
different from the last.

585
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,310
Right this way, ma'am.

586
00:34:18,394 --> 00:34:19,805
Your office is through
these doors.

587
00:34:19,889 --> 00:34:20,925
Mrs. Ford...

588
00:34:21,009 --> 00:34:22,077
One last question.

589
00:34:22,161 --> 00:34:24,585
Do you'll know
if he'll pardon or convict?

590
00:34:25,316 --> 00:34:29,840
I'm confident the president
will do the right thing.

591
00:34:30,102 --> 00:34:32,315
Now, if you'll excuse me.

592
00:34:32,399 --> 00:34:34,775
- Thanks, ladies and gentlemen.
- One more question.

593
00:34:34,859 --> 00:34:37,814
Thank you,
Mr. Rumsfeld. Thank you.

594
00:34:41,909 --> 00:34:44,333
Here we are.

595
00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:47,785
I do apologize
for the state of the room.

596
00:34:47,869 --> 00:34:50,880
Uh, we had to turn things around
rather quickly.

597
00:34:50,964 --> 00:34:52,188
Yeah.

598
00:34:53,331 --> 00:34:56,675
I suppose I have some
decorating to do.

599
00:34:56,759 --> 00:34:59,695
Mm-hmm. Uh, this is your
schedule, ma'am.

600
00:34:59,779 --> 00:35:00,923
Oh.

601
00:35:01,111 --> 00:35:03,305
I'll see you shortly
for the staff meeting.

602
00:35:03,389 --> 00:35:04,642
Oh, Debbie.

603
00:35:04,726 --> 00:35:07,133
Um, could you tell me
where my husband's office is?

604
00:35:07,217 --> 00:35:09,984
I'd love to stop in
and say hello.

605
00:35:10,068 --> 00:35:11,836
The president has
a full schedule today.

606
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,583
- Oh, I see. Well...
- Is there anything else?

607
00:35:14,797 --> 00:35:16,771
No. Thank you.

608
00:36:25,299 --> 00:36:29,238
Oh! Oh, dear, I...

609
00:36:29,632 --> 00:36:34,305
Oh, I hope I didn't keep
you waiting too long. I...

610
00:36:34,389 --> 00:36:37,235
I'm still getting my bearing...
I'm so sorry. I...

611
00:36:37,319 --> 00:36:40,293
As I was telling Debbie
earlier, I'm...

612
00:36:41,149 --> 00:36:43,673
- Anyway, hello.
- Hello.

613
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,035
Everyone, the First Lady
of the United States.

614
00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:49,263
Welcome.

615
00:36:50,095 --> 00:36:51,598
So wonderful.

616
00:36:55,289 --> 00:36:58,469
I was just informing
the staff that, uh,

617
00:36:58,553 --> 00:37:02,398
because of the unusual
and last-minute nature

618
00:37:02,482 --> 00:37:04,095
of you becoming First Lady,

619
00:37:04,179 --> 00:37:06,965
we'd probably be canceling
the upcoming State Dinner.

620
00:37:07,049 --> 00:37:09,805
Oh.
I don't think that's necessary.

621
00:37:09,889 --> 00:37:11,595
Everyone completely understands.

622
00:37:11,679 --> 00:37:15,105
Well, on the contrary, I love
a good dinner party.

623
00:37:15,189 --> 00:37:17,503
The bigger the better.

624
00:37:18,542 --> 00:37:21,655
And if you'd like to do
what you've done

625
00:37:21,739 --> 00:37:25,868
for the Nixon's State Dinners,
that would be fine with me.

626
00:37:26,699 --> 00:37:29,433
We don't really have time

627
00:37:29,869 --> 00:37:32,125
to do what we've always done.

628
00:37:32,209 --> 00:37:34,001
Not with three days.

629
00:37:34,499 --> 00:37:36,033
I see.

630
00:37:36,147 --> 00:37:37,541
Ma'am.

631
00:37:37,999 --> 00:37:40,040
If I may be so bold,

632
00:37:40,506 --> 00:37:43,336
surely the president,
surely everyone,

633
00:37:43,420 --> 00:37:46,634
would understand
if you had to postpone.

634
00:37:47,319 --> 00:37:49,530
Everyone knows
how this whole situation

635
00:37:49,614 --> 00:37:53,435
has been sprung on you,
even King Hussein.

636
00:37:53,519 --> 00:37:55,153
Are you sure? It...

637
00:37:55,237 --> 00:37:58,851
It seems awfully last minute
to cancel.

638
00:37:58,935 --> 00:38:02,043
Not at all.
It's completely understandable.

639
00:38:05,569 --> 00:38:11,329
Well then,
I suppose that's what we'll do.

640
00:38:48,057 --> 00:38:49,575
- Oh, my gosh!
- Oh!

641
00:38:49,659 --> 00:38:53,812
Betty? I'm sorry.
Excuse me, Madam First Lady.

642
00:38:53,896 --> 00:38:55,035
Nancy.

643
00:38:55,119 --> 00:38:57,160
- Yeah. Nancy Howe.
- Nancy Howe!

644
00:38:57,244 --> 00:39:00,205
The last time I saw you was
at that dreadful PTA meeting.

645
00:39:00,289 --> 00:39:03,005
And that woman
was talking about...

646
00:39:03,089 --> 00:39:04,715
The history of education...

647
00:39:04,799 --> 00:39:07,543
- ...in pre-colonial Virginia.
- I thought it would never end.

648
00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:10,892
Three hours seared
into my brain.

649
00:39:16,179 --> 00:39:18,549
It's so nice to know
you're here.

650
00:39:18,633 --> 00:39:22,605
An actual person that I know
and like.

651
00:39:22,689 --> 00:39:23,913
Yeah.

652
00:39:24,944 --> 00:39:25,945
Hmm?

653
00:39:26,029 --> 00:39:28,253
Take it. It's on the house.

654
00:39:28,649 --> 00:39:29,999
Thank you.

655
00:39:30,083 --> 00:39:33,923
Hey, how's it going? Are the
aides overwhelming you yet?

656
00:39:34,970 --> 00:39:36,501
Not yet.

657
00:39:38,134 --> 00:39:39,662
And thanks for this.

658
00:39:39,746 --> 00:39:41,350
Don't tell anyone.

659
00:39:42,303 --> 00:39:43,447
Oh.

660
00:39:43,617 --> 00:39:48,595
Uh, do you by chance know
how I get back to my office?

661
00:39:49,312 --> 00:39:51,001
I do.

662
00:39:51,509 --> 00:39:53,055
Mm-hmm, yeah.

663
00:39:53,139 --> 00:39:57,783
It's hard to believe that just
last week

664
00:39:58,139 --> 00:39:59,645
this was Pat's office,

665
00:39:59,729 --> 00:40:01,315
and now she's...

666
00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:03,873
Helping her husband pack
for prison.

667
00:40:08,739 --> 00:40:11,038
It does seem likely, doesn't it?

668
00:40:11,122 --> 00:40:13,913
He said he wasn't a crook,
turns out he is a crook.

669
00:40:13,997 --> 00:40:15,521
Crooks go to jail.

670
00:40:17,804 --> 00:40:21,134
So what's the first First Lady
thing they have you doing?

671
00:40:21,539 --> 00:40:25,233
Well, there was a State Dinner,
but I'm canceling it.

672
00:40:25,879 --> 00:40:27,164
What? No, you're not.

673
00:40:27,248 --> 00:40:30,135
It was supposed to be three days
from now

674
00:40:30,219 --> 00:40:33,305
and, well, my secretary said it
was fine.

675
00:40:33,389 --> 00:40:37,475
No, no, no, no, no.
You can't do that, Betty.

676
00:40:37,559 --> 00:40:41,105
No, it was actually
my secretary's idea, so...

677
00:40:41,189 --> 00:40:43,015
Well, I don't care whose idea
it was.

678
00:40:43,099 --> 00:40:45,435
This is your house.
You get to decide.

679
00:40:45,519 --> 00:40:48,485
<i>You</i> really think
one State Dinner matters?

680
00:40:48,569 --> 00:40:51,485
Let's see, did the Roosevelts
showing support

681
00:40:51,569 --> 00:40:54,148
for every exiled
European government

682
00:40:54,232 --> 00:40:57,155
after the Nazis took over
their homeland matter?

683
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,230
How about the Eisenhowers
breaking bread

684
00:40:59,314 --> 00:41:00,413
with the Khrushchevs?

685
00:41:00,498 --> 00:41:04,031
The Nixons and the Brezhnevs
may be the only cordial moment

686
00:41:04,116 --> 00:41:06,204
of this whole Cold War we're in.

687
00:41:06,289 --> 00:41:09,452
And maybe I'm biased

688
00:41:09,536 --> 00:41:11,742
because I spout out
White House trivia

689
00:41:11,826 --> 00:41:13,505
in that gift shop all day long,

690
00:41:13,589 --> 00:41:16,635
but it seems to me like
these are the moments

691
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,197
that really, truly mattered.

692
00:41:19,469 --> 00:41:23,423
And they were State Dinners
that First Ladies made happen.

693
00:41:24,269 --> 00:41:28,065
You just... You... You can't
cancel your first State Dinner.

694
00:41:28,149 --> 00:41:31,548
This is your chance
to start making history.

695
00:41:34,949 --> 00:41:37,405
- You wanted to see me, ma'am?
- Oh! Yes, thank you.

696
00:41:37,489 --> 00:41:39,134
Please come in.

697
00:41:44,087 --> 00:41:46,775
How do you like
what I've done with the place?

698
00:41:49,588 --> 00:41:51,085
Um.

699
00:41:51,169 --> 00:41:52,693
It's a joke, Debbie.

700
00:41:53,509 --> 00:41:55,179
About the State Dinner,

701
00:41:55,263 --> 00:41:58,626
you'll be happy to know that
I've decided not to cancel.

702
00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:02,876
- What?
- I've come up with a plan

703
00:42:03,074 --> 00:42:06,225
I think you'll agree
is very doable.

704
00:42:06,309 --> 00:42:08,565
Marrying some of
Mrs. Nixon's traditions

705
00:42:08,649 --> 00:42:14,283
with my less formal,
but no less festive, ideas.

706
00:42:17,408 --> 00:42:21,028
Oh... barbecue.

707
00:42:21,112 --> 00:42:23,426
Doesn't that sound fun?

708
00:42:24,124 --> 00:42:26,642
Be sure to let everyone know

709
00:42:26,869 --> 00:42:29,375
the president
is counting on this.

710
00:42:29,459 --> 00:42:32,023
He's even more excited
than I am.

711
00:42:34,201 --> 00:42:35,947
Thank you, Debbie.

712
00:42:37,628 --> 00:42:39,322
Thank you, ma'am.

713
00:42:46,889 --> 00:42:48,835
<i>Good morning.
Thanks for being with us.</i>

714
00:42:48,919 --> 00:42:50,350
Monday, the 12th of January.

715
00:42:50,434 --> 00:42:52,065
Just eight days until
the inauguration,

716
00:42:52,149 --> 00:42:53,562
the new administration,
new president.

717
00:42:53,646 --> 00:42:54,929
Everybody's trying to get
an angle here.

718
00:42:55,013 --> 00:42:57,357
Absolutely.
A lot going on this morning.

719
00:43:00,839 --> 00:43:02,445
- Can I get you anything else?
- No.

720
00:43:02,529 --> 00:43:04,673
- We're fine, thank you.
- Okay.

721
00:43:06,508 --> 00:43:08,412
- Too bridal?
- No.

722
00:43:08,697 --> 00:43:11,165
No. I see "hope" and "glory."

723
00:43:11,249 --> 00:43:12,795
I see "elegance..."

724
00:43:12,879 --> 00:43:14,741
..."timeless" and "victorious."

725
00:43:14,825 --> 00:43:17,680
Oh, Jason is a genius,

726
00:43:17,764 --> 00:43:20,033
and you look exquisite.

727
00:43:20,210 --> 00:43:22,039
I love you, Mel.

728
00:43:22,123 --> 00:43:24,403
I love you too. Come in.

729
00:43:26,854 --> 00:43:30,185
Valerie, you're here.

730
00:43:30,269 --> 00:43:31,270
Girl, that dress...

731
00:43:31,354 --> 00:43:33,418
- Careful, Mrs. Obama.
- Okay.

732
00:43:37,006 --> 00:43:39,650
- Hmm? Hmm?
- Wow.

733
00:43:40,967 --> 00:43:42,392
Can we talk for a minute?

734
00:43:42,691 --> 00:43:44,147
Could you all give us
a few minutes?

735
00:43:44,231 --> 00:43:46,735
- Yeah, sure.
- I promise I'll be careful.

736
00:43:47,397 --> 00:43:50,081
Thanks, ladies.

737
00:43:57,404 --> 00:43:59,914
- So beautiful.
- Oh.

738
00:44:00,103 --> 00:44:02,296
But that's not why you're here.

739
00:44:02,659 --> 00:44:05,179
Rahm thought we should talk.

740
00:44:05,394 --> 00:44:08,185
Rahm wants. Rahm feels.
Rahm thought.

741
00:44:08,269 --> 00:44:09,567
He just simply suggested

742
00:44:09,651 --> 00:44:12,855
that I be the liaison between
the East Wing and the West.

743
00:44:12,939 --> 00:44:15,857
Great. So how do I get Rahm
to understand

744
00:44:15,941 --> 00:44:18,092
that I'm not here
to be a glorified hostess?

745
00:44:18,176 --> 00:44:21,923
Michelle, we want to ease you
into complex areas.

746
00:44:22,069 --> 00:44:24,035
Val? Hello?

747
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:25,695
Hello?

748
00:44:25,779 --> 00:44:27,365
You sound just like them
right now.

749
00:44:27,449 --> 00:44:29,535
- Michelle...
- Fashion shoots? Gardening?

750
00:44:29,619 --> 00:44:31,335
You want me to be roasted alive

751
00:44:31,419 --> 00:44:33,893
as being elitist
and out of touch?

752
00:44:35,195 --> 00:44:37,799
Valerie. You're my friend.

753
00:44:38,509 --> 00:44:40,085
You know what I can do.

754
00:44:40,169 --> 00:44:41,943
It's complicated right now.

755
00:44:42,969 --> 00:44:46,783
We, of all people,
we can't rock the boat too much.

756
00:44:48,435 --> 00:44:50,787
Yeah. I know.

757
00:45:01,015 --> 00:45:03,079
- Morning, Mom.
- Mm-hmm.

758
00:45:03,230 --> 00:45:05,785
I was talking garden
all morning.

759
00:45:05,869 --> 00:45:09,450
Nothing like a curly kale
master class.

760
00:45:09,534 --> 00:45:10,718
Hmm.

761
00:45:13,892 --> 00:45:15,586
I'm gonna need help.

762
00:45:16,722 --> 00:45:18,124
Can you stay here?

763
00:45:18,669 --> 00:45:22,295
The girls are gonna need
some stability and continuity.

764
00:45:22,379 --> 00:45:23,595
They're gonna need their grandma

765
00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:25,903
to keep their feet
on the ground.

766
00:45:26,007 --> 00:45:27,611
The girls need me?

767
00:45:31,627 --> 00:45:34,851
You need me. Hmm.

768
00:45:39,362 --> 00:45:42,554
Then I am here.

769
00:45:48,197 --> 00:45:50,825
Mommy.

770
00:45:50,909 --> 00:45:53,223
Mom. Mama.

771
00:45:56,403 --> 00:45:57,981
Rahm?

772
00:45:58,065 --> 00:45:59,455
Madam First Lady.

773
00:45:59,539 --> 00:46:01,148
How's it all going?

774
00:46:01,792 --> 00:46:05,294
I have 87 pages to go through
in the next hour.

775
00:46:05,378 --> 00:46:06,850
Why are you sidelining me?

776
00:46:06,934 --> 00:46:09,420
Can you guys give us
a minute, please?

777
00:46:09,504 --> 00:46:11,474
- Give us a few minutes. Thanks.
- Of course.

778
00:46:11,558 --> 00:46:13,502
- Ma'am.
- First Lady.

779
00:46:15,026 --> 00:46:18,037
I'm trying to ensure
that the East Wing

780
00:46:18,121 --> 00:46:19,815
compliments our agenda
in the West Wing.

781
00:46:19,899 --> 00:46:23,350
So you turned me into a fluffy,
inconsequential hostess.

782
00:46:23,434 --> 00:46:25,365
- No one's gonna buy it.
- Well, that's the job.

783
00:46:25,449 --> 00:46:27,070
It doesn't have to be.

784
00:46:29,433 --> 00:46:32,656
Do you really think...
Be honest with me, all right?

785
00:46:33,055 --> 00:46:37,375
You really think working on the
board of a Chicago hospital

786
00:46:37,459 --> 00:46:39,665
has anything at all to do
with creating

787
00:46:39,749 --> 00:46:43,248
a countrywide health care system
for 200 million-plus people?

788
00:46:43,332 --> 00:46:44,920
I'm saying
that I can contribute.

789
00:46:45,004 --> 00:46:46,505
And I'm saying,
with all due respect,

790
00:46:46,589 --> 00:46:47,845
- that you're not qualified.
- Excuse me?

791
00:46:47,929 --> 00:46:49,505
I don't want you to become
a liability

792
00:46:49,589 --> 00:46:50,590
to your husband is all.

793
00:46:50,674 --> 00:46:52,175
But you were more than happy
to pimp me out

794
00:46:52,259 --> 00:46:53,153
during the campaign.

795
00:46:53,237 --> 00:46:55,208
The campaign is over.
This is politics

796
00:46:55,292 --> 00:46:56,654
and the business of government.

797
00:46:56,738 --> 00:46:57,935
- You're a real...
- What?

798
00:46:58,019 --> 00:47:01,065
What am I "real"? An asshole?
A pit bull? A jerk-off?

799
00:47:01,149 --> 00:47:03,435
A condescending,
patronizing monster?

800
00:47:03,519 --> 00:47:06,503
I was gonna say a "charmer."

801
00:47:09,662 --> 00:47:11,264
You know what?
You wanna make an omelet,

802
00:47:11,348 --> 00:47:12,239
you gotta break some eggs.

803
00:47:12,323 --> 00:47:14,368
And I don't care
about any of that

804
00:47:14,452 --> 00:47:16,075
other peripheral bullshit.

805
00:47:16,159 --> 00:47:17,857
- You should.
- Caring isn't my job.

806
00:47:17,941 --> 00:47:19,912
Absolute loyalty
to your husband is.

807
00:47:19,996 --> 00:47:22,875
Being the bad guy so he doesn't
have to be, that's my focus.

808
00:47:22,959 --> 00:47:24,835
I will body check anyone
who gets in the way of that.

809
00:47:24,919 --> 00:47:27,223
- Even me?
- If you become an obstacle.

810
00:47:28,009 --> 00:47:30,385
- You're a smart woman.
- Oh, thank you, Rahm.

811
00:47:30,469 --> 00:47:32,215
So, I'm not gonna patronize you,

812
00:47:32,299 --> 00:47:33,675
but the fact that you're not

813
00:47:33,759 --> 00:47:37,395
a qualified career politician
is a fact.

814
00:47:37,479 --> 00:47:38,551
It's not sexist or racist.

815
00:47:38,635 --> 00:47:40,096
So, please, I'm begging you,
don't turn me into

816
00:47:40,180 --> 00:47:41,824
some kind of
cliché villain here.

817
00:47:41,984 --> 00:47:43,985
All right? We've known
each other a long time now.

818
00:47:44,069 --> 00:47:45,740
Amy and I have been
to your house.

819
00:47:45,824 --> 00:47:48,145
So I'm pretty certain,
Michelle... Mrs. Obama,

820
00:47:48,229 --> 00:47:51,075
that we can find a process
that works.

821
00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:54,426
If I'm willing to roll over
and become a Stepford FLOTUS.

822
00:47:54,510 --> 00:47:56,943
Not happening. Also, Gwen's out.

823
00:47:57,027 --> 00:47:58,842
Oh, my God.
We already went through this.

824
00:47:58,926 --> 00:48:00,393
Letting you foist
a chief of staff

825
00:48:00,477 --> 00:48:01,998
on me was my first mistake.

826
00:48:02,082 --> 00:48:03,755
You're opening
a can of worms here.

827
00:48:03,839 --> 00:48:07,103
No. I'm accepting your position
and stepping into mine.

828
00:48:07,237 --> 00:48:09,085
Gwen will be replaced.

829
00:48:09,169 --> 00:48:12,489
I'll pick my team, choose my
causes. You leave me alone.

830
00:48:12,573 --> 00:48:14,062
Understood?

831
00:48:18,831 --> 00:48:20,484
Madam First Lady.

832
00:48:21,059 --> 00:48:22,663
Rahm.

833
00:48:23,855 --> 00:48:26,805
<i>"Tell Mama" play in...</i>

834
00:48:34,819 --> 00:48:36,825
Honey, I'm home.

835
00:48:36,909 --> 00:48:39,273
A nutritious meal

836
00:48:39,357 --> 00:48:41,995
from the future
White House garden.

837
00:48:42,079 --> 00:48:47,220
Prepared by the horticulturist
to the stars.

838
00:48:47,486 --> 00:48:49,460
Oh, boy.

839
00:48:50,424 --> 00:48:53,845
<i>♪ You've been misused

840
00:48:53,929 --> 00:48:55,675
You seem nervous.

841
00:48:55,759 --> 00:48:58,015
Huh? Me? No. Not at all.

842
00:48:58,099 --> 00:49:00,360
I mean, y-you managed to make
romaine lettuce

843
00:49:00,444 --> 00:49:03,083
seem threatening,
but...

844
00:49:03,642 --> 00:49:05,616
<i>♪ What you need... ♪</i>

845
00:49:06,012 --> 00:49:07,708

<i>♪ What you want... ♪</i>

847
00:49:09,286 --> 00:49:11,985
Rahm told me
that you and he spoke.

848
00:49:12,069 --> 00:49:15,865
We did.
It was real illuminating.

849
00:49:15,949 --> 00:49:18,825
Hmm. Mm-hmm.
He said the same thing.

850
00:49:18,909 --> 00:49:20,076
Mm-hmm.

851
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,620

00:49:26,139 --> 00:49:27,705
Uh, look.

854
00:49:27,789 --> 00:49:30,853
- R-Rahm thinks...
- Stop right there.

855
00:49:31,642 --> 00:49:35,979
You tell your work wife
that your actual wife

856
00:49:36,077 --> 00:49:39,555
said to stay out of our
family business.

857
00:49:39,639 --> 00:49:42,305
Got it.
Now I have two wives

858
00:49:42,389 --> 00:49:44,259
and neither of them are happy.

859
00:49:44,343 --> 00:49:47,123
<i>♪ I'll make everything

860
00:49:53,170 --> 00:49:55,075
You are my number one.

861
00:49:55,159 --> 00:49:56,175
Mm-hmm.

862
00:49:56,259 --> 00:49:57,655
- My main wife.
- Mm-hmm.

863
00:49:57,739 --> 00:49:58,908
And he's a distant second.

864
00:49:58,992 --> 00:50:01,340
For a start, he can't kiss
as well as you can.

865
00:50:01,424 --> 00:50:03,075
He... He's working on it.

866
00:50:03,159 --> 00:50:04,245
But he's, uh...

867
00:50:04,329 --> 00:50:06,793
He hasn't got it quite yet.

868
00:50:08,721 --> 00:50:10,935
Can I eat now?

869
00:50:11,019 --> 00:50:12,387
Mm-hmm.

870
00:50:12,471 --> 00:50:14,543
Can I get a little meat in here,

871
00:50:14,627 --> 00:50:16,738
- or I haven't earned my meat...
- There's no meat

872
00:50:16,822 --> 00:50:18,430
in the White House garden.

873
00:50:18,514 --> 00:50:20,675
I'm going to try it out.

874
00:50:20,759 --> 00:50:23,755
Oh, don't let them say I didn't
try it. All right. Here we go.

875
00:50:25,885 --> 00:50:28,725
Mm-hmm! Mmm! Organic!

876
00:50:28,809 --> 00:50:30,616
- Mmm.
- I approve!

877
00:50:31,524 --> 00:50:34,662
This is... This has got the
presidential seal of approval!

878
00:50:40,279 --> 00:50:42,893
I let Rahm
pick my chief of staff.

879
00:50:42,977 --> 00:50:44,654
That was my mistake.

880
00:50:45,039 --> 00:50:48,107
That's why I asked you here.

881
00:50:50,999 --> 00:50:53,813
I want you to be
my chief of staff.

882
00:50:57,175 --> 00:50:58,659
Gwen didn't work out.

883
00:50:59,109 --> 00:51:00,925
I need someone who knows me.

884
00:51:01,009 --> 00:51:03,787
Someone who understands
my priorities.

885
00:51:03,937 --> 00:51:06,211
You've been in the trenches
with me. I trust you.

886
00:51:08,339 --> 00:51:10,490
Michelle, I'm flattered.

887
00:51:11,643 --> 00:51:14,324
But I was only supposed to be
here for a few months to work

888
00:51:14,408 --> 00:51:16,121
- on the inauguration committee.
- I know.

889
00:51:16,205 --> 00:51:18,724
And Neil already
doesn't love me being away.

890
00:51:18,808 --> 00:51:19,992
I know.

891
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,843
But husbands can relocate.

892
00:51:23,511 --> 00:51:24,955
And remember what you told me

893
00:51:25,039 --> 00:51:27,896
when Barack was still
in the primaries?

894
00:51:29,349 --> 00:51:32,107
That you should start embracing
the fact

895
00:51:32,601 --> 00:51:35,915
that your life might change
in a huge way.

896
00:51:36,716 --> 00:51:39,740
And I remember what else
you told me.

897
00:51:39,985 --> 00:51:44,669
About being open to exciting,
unexpected new horizons.

898
00:51:44,759 --> 00:51:47,645
I can be so inspirational
when I want to be, can't I?

899
00:51:47,729 --> 00:51:49,685
Susan,
let's kick some fucking ass

900
00:51:49,769 --> 00:51:52,146
the way we did back in Chicago.

901
00:51:52,399 --> 00:51:56,173
You know what this means, right?
You to be my boss.

902
00:52:05,289 --> 00:52:09,353
I really hope Neil
likes Washington DC.

903
00:52:10,774 --> 00:52:12,588
Yes, yes!

904
00:52:13,580 --> 00:52:15,199
Yes, yes!

905
00:52:15,283 --> 00:52:16,875
Aw!

906
00:52:16,959 --> 00:52:18,103
Oh!

907
00:52:18,196 --> 00:52:19,759
Yeah. Okay.

908
00:52:19,843 --> 00:52:22,201
- Okay!
- Mm-hmm. You promised.

909
00:52:22,969 --> 00:52:25,162
- Hmm.
- Okay.

910
00:52:26,170 --> 00:52:27,814
Where do we start?

911
00:52:42,819 --> 00:52:44,910
That would be lovely.
I would love that.

912
00:52:44,994 --> 00:52:46,855
- It would be lovely.
- We have, uh, the Dead Sea,

913
00:52:46,939 --> 00:52:50,035
- and you don't sink, you float.
- Excuse me.

914
00:52:50,119 --> 00:52:52,689
So, it is very beautiful.

915
00:52:52,773 --> 00:52:58,127
Ladies and gentlemen,
it has been our great pleasure

916
00:52:59,009 --> 00:53:01,005
spending a wonderful evening

917
00:53:01,089 --> 00:53:04,745
with our new friends,
King Hussein and Queen Alia,

918
00:53:04,829 --> 00:53:08,186
here at the White House
for our first State Dinner.

919
00:53:14,208 --> 00:53:17,068
And it is my great pleasure

920
00:53:17,690 --> 00:53:23,174
to ask the most beautiful woman
in the world...

921
00:53:24,819 --> 00:53:28,575
if she'll dance our first State
Dinner dance with me.

922
00:53:28,659 --> 00:53:30,723
Oh.

923
00:53:46,783 --> 00:53:48,966
I miss dancing with you.

924
00:53:49,451 --> 00:53:53,622
I'll dance with you anytime,
Mr. President.

925
00:53:54,651 --> 00:53:57,958
- I like the sound of that.
- Mmm. I'm sure you do.

926
00:54:06,053 --> 00:54:08,419
I'm so impressed with you.

927
00:54:09,008 --> 00:54:12,239
Pulling this all together
on such short notice.

928
00:54:13,618 --> 00:54:15,958
I'm impressed with you, Jerry.

929
00:54:16,079 --> 00:54:19,739
You have a lot
on your shoulders right now.
