1
00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:06,640
PREVIOUSLY ON THE WEST WING:

2
00:00:06,674 --> 00:00:09,843
INDIA HAS SENT TROOPS INTO
THE NEUTRAL ZONE IN KASHMIR.

3
00:00:09,877 --> 00:00:11,312
THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?

4
00:00:11,345 --> 00:00:12,980
NOT READY
FOR THE PRESS.
COULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT

5
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:14,648
BEFORE SENDING ME IN THERE.

6
00:00:14,682 --> 00:00:16,084
C.J.?
I FLATLY DENIED IT.

7
00:00:16,117 --> 00:00:18,719
I MET WITH SECRET SERVICE AGENTS
THIS MORNING.

8
00:00:18,752 --> 00:00:19,953
WHAT DID I DO?

9
00:00:19,987 --> 00:00:21,289
IT'S TIME FOR ME TO TELL YOU

10
00:00:21,322 --> 00:00:22,556
ABOUT SOME LETTERS
WE'VE BEEN GETTING.

11
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:24,892
TWO DEATH THREATS WERE RECEIVED
EARLIER IN THE WEEK.

12
00:00:24,925 --> 00:00:26,260
SIR, I'M FAIRLY CONVINCED

13
00:00:26,294 --> 00:00:28,729
WE'RE LOOKING FOR TWO
15-YEAR-OLD BOYS.

14
00:00:32,233 --> 00:00:33,934
President:
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

15
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:35,769
TWO POLITICIANS ARE HAVING
AN ARGUMENT.

16
00:00:35,803 --> 00:00:37,638
ONE OF THEM STANDS UP
AND SHOUTS, "YOU'RE LYING."

17
00:00:37,671 --> 00:00:39,840
THE OTHER ONE SAYS,
"YES, I AM, BUT HEAR ME OUT."

18
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:40,841
( audience laughing )

19
00:00:40,874 --> 00:00:41,942
Woman:
MR. PRESIDENT

20
00:00:41,975 --> 00:00:43,477
we have time
for one more question.

21
00:00:43,511 --> 00:00:45,679
President:
I don't think I answered
the last one yet.

22
00:00:45,713 --> 00:00:46,914
Suzanne's got me telling jokes.

23
00:00:46,947 --> 00:00:48,116
( audience laughing )

24
00:00:48,149 --> 00:00:50,251
Suzanne, there is an answer
to your question

25
00:00:50,284 --> 00:00:52,052
but I don't think
you're going to like it.

26
00:00:52,086 --> 00:00:53,387
You ready?

27
00:00:53,421 --> 00:00:56,290
The current crop
of 18-25 year olds

28
00:00:56,324 --> 00:00:59,727
is the most politically
apathetic generation

29
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,262
IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

30
00:01:01,295 --> 00:01:04,031
IN 1972,
HALF OF THAT AGE GROUP VOTED.

31
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:06,467
IN THE LAST ELECTION,
IT WAS 32%.

32
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,802
YOUR GENERATION
IS CONSIDERABLY LESS LIKELY

33
00:01:08,836 --> 00:01:10,003
THAN ANY PREVIOUS ONE

34
00:01:10,037 --> 00:01:11,605
TO WRITE
OR CALL PUBLIC OFFICIALS

35
00:01:11,639 --> 00:01:16,244
ATTEND RALLIES
OR WORK ON POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS.

36
00:01:16,277 --> 00:01:17,945
A MAN ONCE SAID THIS:

37
00:01:17,978 --> 00:01:20,714
"DECISIONS ARE MADE
BY THOSE WHO SHOW UP."

38
00:01:20,748 --> 00:01:24,118
SO ARE WE FAILING YOU,
OR ARE YOU FAILING US?

39
00:01:24,152 --> 00:01:25,719
IT'S A LITTLE OF BOTH.

40
00:01:25,753 --> 00:01:26,954
( audience laughing )

41
00:01:26,987 --> 00:01:28,889
A guy on my staff
showed me a report...

42
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:29,890
WE'RE MOMENTS AWAY.

43
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,024
I'M GOING
TO GET THE DOOR.

44
00:01:31,058 --> 00:01:33,327
...from the Center
for Policy Alternatives

45
00:01:33,361 --> 00:01:36,430
that said 61% of your age group
agree with the statement

46
00:01:36,464 --> 00:01:38,232
"Politicians
and political officials

47
00:01:38,266 --> 00:01:39,933
have failed my generation."

48
00:01:39,967 --> 00:01:41,935
When asked how older generations
see you

49
00:01:41,969 --> 00:01:45,206
your top answers are "lazy,"
"confused" and "unfocused."

50
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:47,408
IT'S THE CENTER
FOR POLICY ALTERNATIVES.

51
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:49,510
C.J.'LL HAVE COPIES
FOR THE BUS RIDE BACK.

52
00:01:49,543 --> 00:01:51,312
When asked how
you see yourselves

53
00:01:51,345 --> 00:01:52,713
the top answers were

54
00:01:52,746 --> 00:01:54,615
"ambitious," "determined"
and "independent."

55
00:01:54,648 --> 00:01:58,719
UM, I WANT TO CONTINUE
WITH THIS, BUT THERE WAS

56
00:01:58,752 --> 00:02:00,821
SOME DEBATE
AMONG MY STAFF EARLIER TODAY

57
00:02:00,854 --> 00:02:03,191
AS TO WHETHER OR NOT
I SHOULD TAKE OFF MY JACKET.

58
00:02:03,224 --> 00:02:04,458
SOME THOUGHT IT WOULD

59
00:02:04,492 --> 00:02:06,327
fit in nicely
with the folksy atmosphere

60
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,995
of a town hall meeting.

61
00:02:08,028 --> 00:02:09,597
Others thought
it wouldn't be Presidential.

62
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:11,999
Can I trust you all
to read nothing into it

63
00:02:12,032 --> 00:02:13,734
other than I've been
talking for two hours

64
00:02:13,767 --> 00:02:15,669
and it's a little hot
under these lights?

65
00:02:15,703 --> 00:02:16,870
( applause )

66
00:02:16,904 --> 00:02:18,138
THANK YOU.

67
00:02:26,447 --> 00:02:28,582
See, all that ambition
and determination

68
00:02:28,616 --> 00:02:31,084
doesn't translate
into political action, Suzanne.

69
00:02:31,118 --> 00:02:32,553
WHERE'S TOBY?

70
00:02:32,586 --> 00:02:33,754
WHY?

71
00:02:33,787 --> 00:02:35,756
HE'S GOT A PHONE CALL.

72
00:02:35,789 --> 00:02:36,957
FROM WHO?

73
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:38,226
PETER JOBSON.

74
00:02:38,259 --> 00:02:39,760
GIVE IT TO ME.

75
00:02:39,793 --> 00:02:41,061
That tax burden has crept

76
00:02:41,094 --> 00:02:43,063
further down
the income and age ladder

77
00:02:43,096 --> 00:02:45,533
and the benefits
are going more and more

78
00:02:45,566 --> 00:02:47,835
to the elderly
and the well-to-do.

79
00:02:47,868 --> 00:02:50,771
Totaling all government
payments to individuals...

80
00:02:50,804 --> 00:02:51,905
TOBY.

81
00:02:51,939 --> 00:02:54,308
...we now spend nine times
as much on the elderly

82
00:02:54,342 --> 00:02:55,909
as we do on a single child.

83
00:02:55,943 --> 00:02:58,145
No wonder
this upcoming generation

84
00:02:58,178 --> 00:02:59,647
has turned its back...

85
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,714
JOSH.

86
00:03:00,748 --> 00:03:03,050
on a government
that's forgotten them.

87
00:03:03,083 --> 00:03:04,785
Overall entitlement payments...

88
00:03:04,818 --> 00:03:05,919
LEO.

89
00:03:05,953 --> 00:03:07,555
are, or will have crowded out

90
00:03:07,588 --> 00:03:09,790
public investment
into infrastructure...

91
00:03:09,823 --> 00:03:10,924
WHAT'S THAT?

92
00:03:10,958 --> 00:03:12,059
IT'S THE SIGNAL.

93
00:03:12,092 --> 00:03:13,594
I THOUGHT THAT
WAS THE SIGNAL

94
00:03:13,627 --> 00:03:14,928
FOR THE OTHER THING.

95
00:03:14,962 --> 00:03:16,697
THAT'S THE SIGNAL
FOR THIS THING NOW.

96
00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:17,798
WHEN DID
THAT HAPPEN?

97
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:19,132
IT HAPPENED JUST A...

98
00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:20,334
WHO CARES, LEO?

99
00:03:20,368 --> 00:03:22,169
IT'S THE SIGNAL
FOR THIS THING NOW.

100
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:23,804
WE'RE TOTALLY
OUT OF THE WOODS?

101
00:03:23,837 --> 00:03:24,872
GO TELL THE PRESIDENT.

102
00:03:26,507 --> 00:03:29,176
Overall, entitlement payments
will have crowded out

103
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:31,011
public investment
in infrastructure

104
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:34,181
and they'll have crowded out
public investment in education

105
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:36,617
to say nothing
to the general quality of life.

106
00:03:36,650 --> 00:03:38,586
So college kids today
are facing a future

107
00:03:38,619 --> 00:03:40,087
of paying even higher taxes...

108
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,489
FOLLOW ME.

109
00:03:41,522 --> 00:03:43,357
WHY?

110
00:03:43,391 --> 00:03:45,426
...which is why it doesn't come
as a galloping shock

111
00:03:45,459 --> 00:03:47,628
today's young people aren't
exactly living for tomorrow.

112
00:03:47,661 --> 00:03:48,962
I HAVE A TIP.

113
00:03:48,996 --> 00:03:50,097
YOU DO?
YES.

114
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:51,265
OKAY.

115
00:03:51,299 --> 00:03:52,700
I HAVE A TIP
AND I'M GOING

116
00:03:52,733 --> 00:03:54,935
TO GIVE IT TO YOU
BEFORE THE OTHERS.

117
00:03:54,968 --> 00:03:56,704
ARE WE BEING
WATCHED RIGHT NOW?

118
00:03:56,737 --> 00:03:57,905
NO.

119
00:03:57,938 --> 00:03:59,507
THEN WHY ARE WE
TALKING LIKE THIS?

120
00:03:59,540 --> 00:04:00,308
I HAVE NEWS.

121
00:04:00,341 --> 00:04:01,375
WHAT'S THE NEWS?

122
00:04:01,409 --> 00:04:02,710
I WANT YOU TO
ACKNOWLEDGE

123
00:04:02,743 --> 00:04:03,511
THAT I'M DOING

124
00:04:03,544 --> 00:04:04,912
SOMETHING
NICE FOR YOU.

125
00:04:04,945 --> 00:04:05,913
WHAT IS THE NEWS?

126
00:04:05,946 --> 00:04:07,247
A PEACE PIPE
OF SORTS.
YES.

127
00:04:07,281 --> 00:04:09,049
AN OFFERING, WHICH
IN ONE SENSE...

128
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:10,250
WHAT'S THE DAMN NEWS?

129
00:04:10,284 --> 00:04:11,719
CALL YOUR
SCIENCE EDITOR.
WHY?

130
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:13,787
IT'S ABOUT THE SPACE
SHUTTLE COLUMBIA.

131
00:04:13,821 --> 00:04:17,358
There's another survey,
this one by the Generation X

132
00:04:17,391 --> 00:04:19,593
advocacy group Third Millennium.

133
00:04:19,627 --> 00:04:23,897
53% of 18-25 year olds believe
the soap opera General Hospital

134
00:04:23,931 --> 00:04:25,533
will outlast Medicare.

135
00:04:25,566 --> 00:04:29,737
( audience laughing )

136
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:35,843
This from a generation convinced
the generation before them

137
00:04:35,876 --> 00:04:37,445
HAS RANSOMED ITS FUTURE.

138
00:04:37,478 --> 00:04:41,315
THAT'S WHY MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER,
ZOEY, IS ALWAYS MAD AT ME.

139
00:04:41,349 --> 00:04:42,550
( audience laughing )

140
00:04:42,583 --> 00:04:44,552
THIS IS THE PART WHERE ZOEY

141
00:04:44,585 --> 00:04:47,054
TRIES TO CRAWL
UNDER HER SEAT TO HIDE.

142
00:04:47,087 --> 00:04:48,489
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, SWEETIE.

143
00:04:48,522 --> 00:04:51,158
I'M GOING TO BRING OUT THE BABY
PICTURES ANY SECOND NOW.

144
00:04:51,191 --> 00:04:52,360
( audience laughing )

145
00:04:52,393 --> 00:04:59,166
( cheering, chanting )

146
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:00,768
GINA.

147
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:01,969
STRAIGHT TO THE CAR.

148
00:05:02,002 --> 00:05:03,604
HE'S NOT WORKING
THE ROPE LINE?

149
00:05:03,637 --> 00:05:06,306
THERE'S A SOFTBALL GAME
HE WANTS TO WATCH.

150
00:05:06,340 --> 00:05:07,775
THEY SHOW
SOFTBALL ON TV?

151
00:05:07,808 --> 00:05:08,576
YEAH.

152
00:05:08,609 --> 00:05:10,611
AND THE PRESIDENT
WATCHES IT?

153
00:05:10,644 --> 00:05:13,581
HE LIKES TO UNWIND
WATCHING SPORTS ON TV.

154
00:05:13,614 --> 00:05:14,382
SOFTBALL.

155
00:05:14,415 --> 00:05:15,583
WHATEVER'S ON.

156
00:05:15,616 --> 00:05:16,650
GOOD.

157
00:05:20,621 --> 00:05:23,123
( crowd chanting ):
BARTLET! BARTLET! BARTLET!

158
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:25,258
GO, JED! GO, JED! GO, JED!

159
00:05:25,292 --> 00:05:27,461
GO, JED! GO, JED! GO, JED!

160
00:05:27,495 --> 00:05:29,329
GO, JED! GO, JED! GO, JED!

161
00:05:34,134 --> 00:05:35,335
STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM

162
00:05:35,369 --> 00:05:37,805
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME
IN HISTORY THAT ANYONE...

163
00:05:37,838 --> 00:05:38,806
DID YOU HEAR THAT?

164
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:39,807
YEAH.

165
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:40,808
HE USED IT.
YEAH.

166
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:43,076
HE USED THE MATERIAL
I TOLD HIM ABOUT.

167
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:44,077
YEAH.

168
00:05:44,111 --> 00:05:46,279
YOU WERE RIGHT.

169
00:05:46,313 --> 00:05:47,415
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

170
00:05:47,448 --> 00:05:48,816
IT DOESN'T
GO AWAY.

171
00:05:48,849 --> 00:05:50,150
THANK YOU, EVERYONE.

172
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:52,586
GOD BLESS YOU
AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.

173
00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:55,423
HERE WE GO.

174
00:05:58,358 --> 00:06:01,194
HE'S NOT WORKING
THE ROPE LINE, MIKE.

175
00:06:01,228 --> 00:06:03,964
STRAIGHT TO THE CAR.

176
00:06:03,997 --> 00:06:05,699
I'VE GOT BOOKBAG.

177
00:06:13,874 --> 00:06:16,977
BABY PICTURES-- HE'S
HECKLING ME WITH THEM

178
00:06:17,010 --> 00:06:18,512
AND VISA CARD BILLS.

179
00:06:18,546 --> 00:06:20,180
AND LOOK, NOW HE'S
WALKING THE ROPE LINE.

180
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:22,983
IF THERE WAS EVER A CHANCE
HE WAS GOING TO WALK PAST

I SAW SOMETHING.

183
00:06:29,322 --> 00:06:31,291
BY THE WAY,
CHARLIE APOLOGIZED

184
00:06:31,324 --> 00:06:32,860
TO ME-- HE MADE
A FULL APOLOGY.

185
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:34,327
I SAW SOMETHING.

186
00:06:34,361 --> 00:06:35,696
GINA?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

194
00:07:40,828 --> 00:07:41,662
ONE SECOND, LEO.

195
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:43,263

ALONG WITH A PILOT.

205

HOW MUCH OF THIS
IS CONFIRMED?

206
00:07:59,513 --> 00:08:00,480
NONE OF IT.

207
00:08:00,514 --> 00:08:01,481
HOW MUCH TIME?

208
00:08:01,515 --> 00:08:02,883
I NEED TEN
MORE MINUTES.

209
00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:04,752

YES, SIR.

214
00:08:10,658 --> 00:08:11,759
YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS?

215
00:08:11,792 --> 00:08:13,527
YOU CAN WATCH THE
GIRLS' SOFTBALL GAME.

216
00:08:13,561 --> 00:08:15,062
DID YOU SNICKER
WHEN YOU SAID THAT?

217
00:08:15,095 --> 00:08:16,063
NO, SIR.

218
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:17,064

219
00:08:17,097 --> 00:08:18,065
MR. PRESIDENT.

220
00:08:18,098 --> 00:08:19,299

221
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:20,834
WHEN YOU SAID THAT,
YOU SNICKERED.

YES, YOU SNICKERED
AS IF TO INDICATE

224
00:08:23,436 --> 00:08:25,472
THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
WITH MY WANTING TO SEE

225
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:27,340
A GIRLS' SOFTBALL GAME
LIVE VIA SATELLITE.

226
00:08:27,374 --> 00:08:29,509
WELL, YOU SEEM PRETTY
EXCITED ABOUT IT, SIR.

227
00:08:29,543 --> 00:08:31,178

I AM
EXCITED ABOUT IT.

AT THE END OF A LONG DAY

231
00:08:35,482 --> 00:08:37,084
YOU SIT BACK,
YOU OPEN A BEER

232
00:08:37,117 --> 00:08:38,652
YOU WATCH A
SPORTING EVENT.

233
00:08:38,686 --> 00:08:39,787
THAT'S WHAT MEN DO.

234
00:08:39,820 --> 00:08:40,988
THEY WATCH
GIRLS' SOFTBALL?

235
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:43,123
WHEN THAT'S WHAT'S ON,
THAT'S WHAT THEY WATCH.

236
00:08:43,156 --> 00:08:45,926
IT'S THAT OR A CRICKET MATCH
BETWEEN SCOTLAND AND BERMUDA.

237
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:48,528
NOW, I AM AN EDUCATED MAN,
CHARLIE, BUT WHEN SOMEBODY

238
00:08:48,562 --> 00:08:50,030
TRIES TO EXPLAIN CRICKET TO ME

239
00:08:50,063 --> 00:08:52,666
ALL I WANT TO DO IS HIT HIM
IN THE HEAD WITH A TEAPOT.

240
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:53,734
GOOD MORNING,
MR. PRESIDENT.

241
00:08:53,767 --> 00:08:55,068
GOOD MORNING, PATTY.

THE UNIVERSITY
OF THE PACIFIC.

245
00:08:58,706 --> 00:08:59,673
A CLASH
OF THE TITANS.

246
00:08:59,707 --> 00:09:01,141
YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO SPOIL MY FUN.

247
00:09:01,174 --> 00:09:02,209
I WOULDN'T WANT TO, SIR.

248
00:09:02,242 --> 00:09:03,577
I'LL GET TO THE
END OF THE DAY

249
00:09:03,611 --> 00:09:04,645
SIT BACK,
OPEN A BEER...

250
00:09:04,678 --> 00:09:05,879
AND WATCH GIRLS' SOFTBALL.

251
00:09:05,913 --> 00:09:06,980

252
00:09:07,014 --> 00:09:09,016
GOOD MORNING,
MR. PRESIDENT.
GOOD MORNING, SIR.

253
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:10,150
HEY, STEVE, HEY, MIKEY.

254
00:09:10,183 --> 00:09:12,285
HAVE I GOTTEN ANY OF
THE NAMES RIGHT SO FAR?

255
00:09:12,319 --> 00:09:14,554
NO SIR, BUT YOU CAME DAMN CLOSE
ON A COUPLE OF 'EM.

256
00:09:14,588 --> 00:09:15,756
GOOD MORNING,
MR. PRESIDENT.

257
00:09:15,789 --> 00:09:16,924
GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.

258
00:09:16,957 --> 00:09:18,458
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND
IF WE GET RIGHT TO IT.

259
00:09:18,491 --> 00:09:19,893
SURE.

260
00:09:19,927 --> 00:09:21,895
IT'S A TOWN HALL MEETING
BROADCAST LIVE ON MSNBC.

261
00:09:21,929 --> 00:09:23,396

OF THIS REHEARSAL

262
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:24,665
CAROL WILL BE THE MODERATOR.

263
00:09:24,698 --> 00:09:26,099
SHE'LL BE SITTING
TO YOUR RIGHT.

264
00:09:26,133 --> 00:09:28,401
YOU'LL HAVE A PITCHER OF
WATER AND A DRINKING GLASS.

265
00:09:28,435 --> 00:09:29,603
WHEN I SPEAK,
I SHOULD STAND

266
00:09:29,637 --> 00:09:30,838
FACING THE AUDIENCE, RIGHT?

267
00:09:30,871 --> 00:09:31,839
SIR...

268
00:09:31,872 --> 00:09:33,006
YOU KNOW HOW
I KNOW THIS?

269
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,708
I'VE DONE IT
200,000-300,000 TIMES.

270
00:09:34,742 --> 00:09:35,709
HEY, SAM.
YES, SIR.

271
00:09:35,743 --> 00:09:37,010
WHY DIDN'T COLUMBIA LAND?

272
00:09:37,044 --> 00:09:37,845
I'M SORRY, SIR?

273
00:09:37,878 --> 00:09:39,546
THE SPACE SHUTTLE WAS
SUPPOSED TO LAND.

274
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:40,648
SOMEBODY SAID IT DIDN'T.

275
00:09:40,681 --> 00:09:42,282
WHY DON'T YOU
GO ASK TOBY?

276
00:09:42,315 --> 00:09:43,516
WHY WOULD
TOBY KNOW?

277
00:09:43,550 --> 00:09:45,385
HIS BROTHER'S
ON THAT FLIGHT.

278
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:46,586
REALLY?

279
00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:48,455
HE'S A PAYLOAD
SPECIALIST.

280
00:09:48,488 --> 00:09:49,589
I DIDN'T
KNOW THAT.

281
00:09:49,623 --> 00:09:50,791
HE'S UP THERE
WITH FOUR

282
00:09:50,824 --> 00:09:52,425
RED-BELLIED
JAPANESE NEWTS.

283
00:09:52,459 --> 00:09:54,427
HE WANTS TO SEE HOW
A NEWT'S INNER EARS

284
00:09:54,461 --> 00:09:56,463
WHICH ARE REMARKABLY
SIMILAR TO HUMANS'

285
00:09:56,496 --> 00:09:58,431
ARE INFLUENCED BY THE
ABSENCE OF GRAVITY.

286
00:09:58,465 --> 00:10:00,200
YOU KNOW WHAT HE
CALLS THEM, C.J.?

287
00:10:00,233 --> 00:10:01,201
ASTRONEWTS?

288
00:10:01,234 --> 00:10:02,402
100% RIGHT.

289
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:03,536
GO ASK HIM WHY
IT DIDN'T LAND.

290
00:10:03,570 --> 00:10:04,537
YES, SIR.

291
00:10:04,571 --> 00:10:05,538
HERE WE GO.

292
00:10:05,572 --> 00:10:06,539
OKAY, SIR.

293
00:10:06,573 --> 00:10:08,541
MR. PRESIDENT,
THE FIRST QUESTION...

294
00:10:08,575 --> 00:10:09,910
SORRY, C.J.?

295
00:10:09,943 --> 00:10:13,714
YOU SAY I HAVE A PITCHER
OF WATER AND A DRINKING GLASS

296
00:10:13,747 --> 00:10:16,116
AND THE WATER GETS
INTO THE GLASS HOW?

297
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:20,620
Toby:
IT'LL GO SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

298
00:10:20,654 --> 00:10:21,922
"MR. PRESIDENT

299
00:10:21,955 --> 00:10:24,391
"YOUR ADMINISTRATION HAS PURSUED
A POLICY OF WHAT?

300
00:10:24,424 --> 00:10:25,759
CONSTRUCTIVE ENGAGEMENT..."

301
00:10:25,793 --> 00:10:27,094
YES.

302

"...TOWARD CHINA, EVEN THOUGH
IT'S A COMMUNIST COUNTRY

WHAT? IMPRISONED DISSIDENTS?"

304
00:10:32,132 --> 00:10:33,433
YES.

"YOUR ADMINISTRATION
HAS REFUSED TO ENGAGE CUBA.

WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD?"

309
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:41,108
INTERESTING QUESTION.

310
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:42,109
THANKS.

311
00:10:42,142 --> 00:10:43,276
TOBY...

312

WE NEED AN ANSWER ON CUBA.

313

WE NEED AN
ANSWER ON CUBA

314
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:47,180
AND WE NEED AN
ANSWER ON FARM LOANS.

315
00:10:47,214 --> 00:10:49,783
COLLEGE STUDENTS AREN'T GOING
TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT CUBA.

316
00:10:49,817 --> 00:10:51,151
THERE'LL BE
FACULTY THERE.

317
00:10:51,184 --> 00:10:52,152
NOT ONLY DID
I NOT KNOW

318
00:10:52,185 --> 00:10:53,987
THAT YOU HAD A
BROTHER ON THE
SPACE SHUTTLE

319
00:10:54,021 --> 00:10:55,622
YEAH.
I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU HAD A BROTHER.

320
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:57,224
I DO.
I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU HAD A BROTHER.

321
00:10:57,257 --> 00:10:59,793
DO YOU KNOW WHY THE
SPACE SHUTTLE DIDN'T
LAND LAST NIGHT?

322
00:10:59,827 --> 00:11:01,294
WHY?

323
00:11:01,328 --> 00:11:02,629
WERE YOU AWARE
THE SPACE SHUTTLE

324
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:04,464
WAS SUPPOSED TO LAND
LAST NIGHT AND DIDN'T?

325
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:05,966
WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME, SAM?

326
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:08,001
IS THERE SOMETHING GOING
ON ON THE SHUTTLE?

327
00:11:08,035 --> 00:11:09,136
I'LL FIND OUT.

328
00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:12,072
THANK YOU, AND WRITE
ME AN ANSWER ON CUBA.

329
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:14,341
OKAY.

330
00:11:14,374 --> 00:11:15,876
DONNA, DID YOU
GET ME A MEETING

331
00:11:15,909 --> 00:11:17,477
WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT?

332
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:19,312
I DID, BUT YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO BE HAPPY.

333
00:11:19,346 --> 00:11:20,814
JOGGING.
YES.

334
00:11:20,848 --> 00:11:22,816
WE COULDN'T REALLY, THIS TIME,
JUST SIT IN CHAIRS?

335
00:11:22,850 --> 00:11:23,951
HE'S JOGGING AT 2:00.

336
00:11:23,984 --> 00:11:25,652
IT'S THE ONLY TIME
HE COULD FIT YOU IN.

337
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:27,654
OKAY, ORDER ME BOILED CHICKEN
AND SOME PASTA.

338
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:29,923
NOTHING LIKE A MEETING
YOU HAVE TO CARB-UP FOR.

339
00:11:29,957 --> 00:11:32,092
YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE AT THE TOWN
HALL PREP RIGHT NOW.

340
00:11:32,125 --> 00:11:33,593
YEAH, I'M GOING
TO THE PRESSROOM.

341
00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:34,627
THEY STARTED
TEN MINUTES AGO.

342
00:11:34,661 --> 00:11:35,628
DONNA?

343
00:11:35,662 --> 00:11:36,830
YEAH?

344
00:11:36,864 --> 00:11:38,031
WHERE'S MY CHAIR?

345
00:11:38,065 --> 00:11:38,832
WE HAVE TO GO.

346
00:11:38,866 --> 00:11:40,033
WHERE'S MY CHAIR?

347
00:11:40,067 --> 00:11:40,834
WHAT CHAIR?

348
00:11:40,868 --> 00:11:42,502
THE CHAIR I SIT IN
AT MY DESK.

349
00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:43,670
IT'S AT THE SHOP.

350
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,005
AT THE SHOP?

351
00:11:45,038 --> 00:11:46,907
YOU SAID ONE OF THE

352
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:48,842

FROM MAINTENANCE.

353
00:11:48,876 --> 00:11:50,010
HE BRINGS A SCREWDRIVER.

354
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:51,511
WELL, I SENT IT
TO THE SHOP.

355
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:53,013
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THERE WAS A SHOP.

356
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:54,882
IT'S NOT SO MUCH A SHOP
AS IT IS...

357
00:11:54,915 --> 00:11:55,682
WHAT?

358
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:56,683
MY FRIEND, CURTIS.

359
00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:58,185
YEAH.
YOUR FRIEND, CURTIS...

360
00:11:58,218 --> 00:11:59,019
...IS FIXING MY CHAIR?

361
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:00,320
I'M THROWING HIM SOME WORK.

362
00:12:00,353 --> 00:12:01,922
AND HOW MUCH IS
CURTIS CHARGING THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

363
00:12:01,955 --> 00:12:03,656
TO FIX THE WOBBLY WHEEL
ON MY CHAIR?

364
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:05,358
HE SAID HE'D HAVE TO
TAKE A LOOK AT THE JOB.

365
00:12:05,392 --> 00:12:06,359
AT HIS SHOP?

366
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:07,995
YEAH.
OKAY.

367
00:12:08,028 --> 00:12:10,430
MR. PRESIDENT, THERE ARE MORE
THAN 40 MILLION AMERICANS

368
00:12:10,463 --> 00:12:11,664
WHO DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE

369
00:12:11,698 --> 00:12:13,633
AND THE MAJORITY OF THEM
ARE CHILDREN.

370
00:12:13,666 --> 00:12:15,235
IN THE FIRST YEAR
OF YOUR PRESIDENCY

371
00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:16,403
YOU PROPOSED NO NEW...

372
00:12:16,436 --> 00:12:17,604
President:
I PROPOSED...

373
00:12:17,637 --> 00:12:19,106
...COMPREHENSIVE
SOLUTION TO
THE CRISIS.

374
00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:21,274
CAN WE EXPECT
REAL ACTION IN
THE NEAR FUTURE

375
00:12:21,308 --> 00:12:22,209
OR WILL YOUR
ADMINISTRATION

376
00:12:22,242 --> 00:12:23,977
CONTINUE TO NIBBLE
AROUND THE EDGES?

377
00:12:24,011 --> 00:12:25,445
I WOULDN'T SAY
MY ADMINISTRATION'S

378
00:12:25,478 --> 00:12:26,713
"NIBBLED AROUND THE EDGES."

379
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:27,747
DON'T REPEAT THE PHRASE, SIR.

380
00:12:27,781 --> 00:12:28,849
THAT'LL BE THE SOUND BITE.

381
00:12:28,882 --> 00:12:30,017
IF WE DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION

382
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:31,551
THE VERY LEAST WE CAN DO
IS ACKNOWLEDGE

383
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:32,786
THAT THERE'S
A PROBLEM.

384
00:12:32,820 --> 00:12:34,721
I AGREE WITH YOU
THAT FAR TOO MANY AMERICANS

385
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:36,056
DO NOT HAVE ACCESS

386
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:38,225
TO THE QUALITY AFFORDABLE
HEALTH CARE THEY DESERVE

387
00:12:38,258 --> 00:12:40,493
AND IT'S INTOLERABLE
THAT MOST OF THEM ARE CHILDREN.

388
00:12:40,527 --> 00:12:42,029
YES.

389
00:12:42,062 --> 00:12:43,263
WE CAN, AND WE MUST DO MORE.

390
00:12:43,296 --> 00:12:44,631
MR. PRESIDENT.

391
00:12:44,664 --> 00:12:46,299
HANG ON.
NOW CAN I BLAME CONGRESS?

392
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:47,400
KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.

393
00:12:47,434 --> 00:12:48,869
( chuckles )

394
00:12:48,902 --> 00:12:52,005
MR. PRESIDENT,
I NEED YOU IN
THE SITUATION ROOM.

395
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:07,287
Fitzwallace:
GOOD MORNING,
MR. PRESIDENT.

396
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,521
IS THE PILOT
STILL ALIVE?

397
00:13:08,555 --> 00:13:11,658
HE HAD AN ACES II
ZERO/ZERO EJECTOR
SEAT ON BOARD.

398
00:13:11,691 --> 00:13:14,461
NATO COMMAND
IN BRUSSELS SAYS
THE AEGIS SYSTEM

399
00:13:14,494 --> 00:13:15,595
ON THE NORTH DAKOTA

400
00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:16,997
PICKED UP A
TRACKING SIGNAL

401
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:18,999
ON THE FAO PENINSULA,
SOUTH OF BASRA.

402
00:13:19,032 --> 00:13:20,700
HE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

403
00:13:20,733 --> 00:13:22,669
WHO ELSE IS OUT THERE?

404
00:13:22,702 --> 00:13:23,871
THE FOURTH CORPS
OF THE IRAQI R.G.

405
00:13:23,904 --> 00:13:25,906
WE PATROL THE AREA.

406
00:13:25,939 --> 00:13:27,340
SOMEBODY'S
WITHIN TEN MILES

407
00:13:27,374 --> 00:13:28,708
OF THE PILOT.

408
00:13:28,741 --> 00:13:30,543
OUR GUY IS TEN MILES
FROM THE FOURTH CORPS

409
00:13:30,577 --> 00:13:32,980
OF THE IRAQI REPUBLICAN GUARDS?

410
00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:35,548
IT'S A MATTER
OF WHO GETS THERE FIRST.

411
00:13:35,582 --> 00:13:37,851
FITZ, YOU GOT A RESCUE SCENARIO?

412
00:13:37,885 --> 00:13:40,453
YEAH. THE 16th SPECIAL
OPERATIONS GROUP

413
00:13:40,487 --> 00:13:41,488
OUT OF HURLBERT FIELD.

414
00:13:41,521 --> 00:13:42,655
THEY USE THE PAVE HAWKS?

415
00:13:42,689 --> 00:13:45,825
AND THE MH-53J.

416
00:13:45,859 --> 00:13:47,694
THESE ARE SPECIALLY
EQUIPPED HELICOPTERS.

417
00:13:47,727 --> 00:13:48,962
THEY FLY
TREE-TOP ALTITUDE

418
00:13:48,996 --> 00:13:50,563
AT ABOUT 180 KNOTS.

419
00:13:50,597 --> 00:13:52,132
Man:
MR. PRESIDENT,
CAN I SUGGEST

420
00:13:52,165 --> 00:13:54,501
THAT RATHER THAN JUMPING
INTO A MILITARY RESCUE PLAN...

421
00:13:54,534 --> 00:13:55,668
Leo:
OH, PLEASE.

422
00:13:55,702 --> 00:13:56,803
A PHONE CALL
TO IRAQI AMBASS...

423
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:58,471
YOU WANT TO CHECK
WITH THE EMBASSY?

424
00:13:58,505 --> 00:14:00,007
I'M SAYING, LEO

425
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,475
THAT THREE HOURS SPENT ON
DIPLOMATIC SOLUTIONS IS NOT...

426
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:03,944
I TELL YOU WHAT, PHIL.

427
00:14:03,977 --> 00:14:06,980
HOW ABOUT I DROP YOU
AND YOUR $47 MILLION

428
00:14:07,014 --> 00:14:09,016
AMERICAN WARPLANE
THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PICKED UP

429
00:14:09,049 --> 00:14:11,018
BY IRAQI RADAR
IN THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT.

430
00:14:11,051 --> 00:14:13,253
THEN YOU TELL ME
IF WE'VE GOT THREE HOURS

431
00:14:13,286 --> 00:14:15,855
TO FIND A DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION
BEFORE WE COME GET YOU.

432
00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:19,426
WHAT'S HIS NAME?

433
00:14:19,459 --> 00:14:21,128
I'M SORRY, SIR?

434
00:14:21,161 --> 00:14:22,762
THE PILOT. WHAT'S HIS NAME?

435
00:14:22,795 --> 00:14:24,731
CAPTAIN SCOTT HOTCHKISS.

436
00:14:24,764 --> 00:14:26,266
WHERE'S HE FROM?

437
00:14:26,299 --> 00:14:27,267
RHODE ISLAND.

438
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:28,368
HOW OLD IS HE?

439
00:14:28,401 --> 00:14:30,971
26.

440
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:38,245
ROB TOLD ME IN MY INTELLIGENCE
BRIEFING LAST WEEK

441
00:14:38,278 --> 00:14:41,148
THAT THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT
HAS PUT OUT A BOUNTY--

442
00:14:41,181 --> 00:14:43,616
THE EQUIVALENT
OF $14,000 U.S.--

443
00:14:43,650 --> 00:14:46,853
FOR ANY AMERICAN PLANE
SHOT DOWN

444
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:51,224
OR ANY AMERICAN SOLDIER
CAPTURED.

445
00:14:51,258 --> 00:14:53,726
NOW, HE WAS JUST PATROLLING
THE NO-FLY ZONE, RIGHT?

446
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,727
YES, SIR.

447
00:14:54,761 --> 00:14:55,795
HE HAD NOT ENGAGED.

448
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:56,796
NO, SIR.

449
00:14:56,829 --> 00:14:58,631
PHIL...

450
00:14:58,665 --> 00:15:02,102
IF IT ENDS UP FITZWALLACE
HAS TO CALL THIS KID'S PARENTS

451
00:15:02,135 --> 00:15:04,237
I SWEAR TO GOD,
I'M INVADING BAGHDAD.

452
00:15:06,306 --> 00:15:08,175
GET HIM BACK.

453
00:15:08,208 --> 00:15:09,676
YES, SIR.

454
00:15:26,893 --> 00:15:28,628
YEAH?

455
00:15:28,661 --> 00:15:30,597
OH, C.J., THE
IRAQIS SHOT DOWN

456
00:15:30,630 --> 00:15:32,699
AN F-117 NIGHTHAWK
IN THE SOUTHERN

457
00:15:32,732 --> 00:15:33,933
NO-FLY ZONE.

458
00:15:33,967 --> 00:15:35,102
IS THE PILOT STILL ALIVE?

459
00:15:35,135 --> 00:15:36,403
YEAH, BUT HE'S CAUGHT

460
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:39,072
BETWEEN A COUPLE OF DIVISIONS
OF THE REPUBLICAN GUARD.

461
00:15:39,106 --> 00:15:40,440
IS THERE A PENTAGON...

462
00:15:40,473 --> 00:15:42,542
PENTAGON TEAM'S
COMING OVER TO
BRIEF YOU.

463
00:15:42,575 --> 00:15:43,977
IS THERE A RESCUE MISSION?

464
00:15:44,011 --> 00:15:47,714
PRESIDENT GAVE THE ORDER
ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

465
00:15:47,747 --> 00:15:49,249
IF THE IRAQIS SHOT DOWN AN F-117

466
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:51,618
THEY'RE GOING TO WANT
TO TELL THE WORLD ABOUT IT.

467
00:15:51,651 --> 00:15:52,986
YEAH.
THERE'S GOING TO BE FILM

468
00:15:53,020 --> 00:15:54,988
OF A BURNING AIRPLANE
ON CNN WITHIN TWO HOURS.

469
00:15:55,022 --> 00:15:56,556
PRESS'LL HAVE THE NEWS
BEFORE YOU'RE DONE

470
00:15:56,589 --> 00:15:58,658
WITH WHAT'S GOING ON
IN THE SITUATION ROOM.

471
00:15:58,691 --> 00:15:59,959
WHICH IS THE PROBLEM

472
00:15:59,993 --> 00:16:02,162
OF CONDUCTING
A COVERT RESCUE MISSION

473
00:16:02,195 --> 00:16:04,164
IN THIS AGE OF
INSTANT NEWS.

474
00:16:04,197 --> 00:16:06,499
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT
I'M TELLING YOU?

475
00:16:06,533 --> 00:16:07,300
YES, I DO.

476
00:16:07,334 --> 00:16:08,968
'CAUSE THERE
WAS A PROBLEM...

477
00:16:09,002 --> 00:16:10,003
LEO, I'M SAYING...

478
00:16:10,037 --> 00:16:11,871
THERE WAS A PROBLEM
A FEW MONTHS AGO

479
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:12,939
WITH INDIA/PAKISTAN.

480
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:14,441
LEO...
YOU WERE
UNCOMFORTABLE

481
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:16,676
YOU WERE UNCOMFORTABLE
LYING TO THE PRESS...

482
00:16:16,709 --> 00:16:18,978
I WASN'T LYING TO THE PRESS
ON INDIA/PAKISTAN.

483
00:16:19,012 --> 00:16:20,047
I WAS LIED TO BY YOU

484
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,814
WHICH MADE ME
LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT.

485
00:16:21,848 --> 00:16:24,851
WELL, I'M NOT
LYING TO YOU NOW.

486
00:16:24,884 --> 00:16:26,553
FOUR MH-53J PAVE LOWS

487
00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:30,623
CARRYING 80 GUYS
FROM THE 16th SPECIAL OPS

488
00:16:30,657 --> 00:16:33,193
ARE OUT FLYING UNDER RADAR.

489
00:16:33,226 --> 00:16:34,561
WE'RE GOING
TO PAY A PRICE

490
00:16:34,594 --> 00:16:35,928
FOR MISLEADING
THE PRESS.

491
00:16:35,962 --> 00:16:37,464
I DON'T CARE.
I UNDERSTAND.

492
00:16:37,497 --> 00:16:38,465
Josh:
LEO?

493
00:16:38,498 --> 00:16:40,367
AN F-117?

494
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,771
YOU SHOULD GO
TO YOUR BRIEFING.

495
00:16:44,804 --> 00:16:45,772
YEAH.

496
00:16:45,805 --> 00:16:47,407
AN F-117 IS A STEALTH
FIGHTER, RIGHT?

497
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,608
YEAH.

498
00:16:48,641 --> 00:16:49,709
AT SOME POINT,
WE'LL TALK ABOUT

499
00:16:49,742 --> 00:16:51,178
HOW THEY SHOT DOWN
A STEALTH FIGHTER.

500
00:16:51,211 --> 00:16:52,779
YOU CAN TAKE THAT
TO THE BANK.

501
00:16:52,812 --> 00:16:54,781
ANYWAY, I ARRANGED A
MEETING WITH HOYNES.

502
00:16:54,814 --> 00:16:55,782
WHEN?

503
00:16:55,815 --> 00:16:56,983
IN AN HOUR.
WHERE?

504
00:16:57,016 --> 00:16:58,085
WE'RE JOGGING.

505
00:16:58,118 --> 00:16:59,319
LISTEN TO ME.

506
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:01,954
DON'T TELL HIM
WHY IT'S BAD FOR US.

507
00:17:01,988 --> 00:17:04,224
TELL HIM WHY
IT'S BAD FOR HIM.

508
00:17:04,257 --> 00:17:06,659
I'M NOT WORRIED
ABOUT THE MEETING.

509
00:17:06,693 --> 00:17:08,061
COME SEE ME AFTER.

510
00:17:08,095 --> 00:17:09,062
AN F-117?
YEAH.

511
00:17:09,096 --> 00:17:10,697
ISN'T THAT
A STEALTH FIGHTER?
YES.

512
00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:11,531
HOW DID IT GET SEEN?

513
00:17:11,564 --> 00:17:13,733
I'M SURE SOMEONE
IS LOOKING INTO THAT.

514
00:17:13,766 --> 00:17:15,402
I WOULD THINK SO.
IN ITS DEFENSE

515
00:17:15,435 --> 00:17:17,837
THE STEALTH FIGHTER'S A
GENERATION OF TECHNOLOGY

516
00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:19,106
BEHIND THE B-2
SPIRIT BOMBER.

517
00:17:19,139 --> 00:17:20,507
IT'S A STEALTH FIGHTER.

518
00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:22,342
IT SHOULD HAVE STEALTH
CAPABILITY, RIGHT?

519
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:23,876
SURE.
'CAUSE IF IT DOESN'T

520
00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:25,645
WE SHOULD CALL IT
SOMETHING ELSE.

521
00:17:25,678 --> 00:17:26,646
HELLO.

522
00:17:26,679 --> 00:17:27,547
HI.

523
00:17:27,580 --> 00:17:29,916
ONE OF THE PAYLOAD
BAY DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE.

524
00:17:29,949 --> 00:17:32,919
I'M SORRY?
SPECIFICALLY

525
00:17:32,952 --> 00:17:34,354
THE STARBOARD
PAYLOAD BAY DOOR.

526
00:17:34,387 --> 00:17:37,056
SAM, IF YOUR ASS
ISN'T OFF MY DESK

527
00:17:37,090 --> 00:17:38,358
AND I MEAN STAT...

528
00:17:38,391 --> 00:17:39,992
THIS IS NOT HIS
FIRST SHUTTLE.

529
00:17:40,026 --> 00:17:41,828
IT IS HIS FOURTH
SHUTTLE MISSION.

530
00:17:41,861 --> 00:17:42,829
DR. DAVID ZIEGLER

531
00:17:42,862 --> 00:17:44,264
HOLDING
POSTGRADUATE DEGREES

532
00:17:44,297 --> 00:17:45,632
IN BOTH
PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOLOGY.

533
00:17:45,665 --> 00:17:47,434
NOW I KNOW MORE ABOUT
YOUR BROTHER THAN YOU

534
00:17:47,467 --> 00:17:49,302
SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU HAD A BROTHER.

535
00:17:49,336 --> 00:17:50,637
A PAYLOAD BAY DOOR
WOULDN'T CLOSE?

536
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:52,339
I TALKED TO THE MISSION
COMMANDER AT NASA

537
00:17:52,372 --> 00:17:53,373
A GUY NAMED PETER JOBSON.

538
00:17:53,406 --> 00:17:54,541
HE SAID
A POWER DRIVE UNIT

539
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:56,609
ON THE STARBOARD PAYLOAD
BAY DOOR WAS JAMMED.

540
00:17:56,643 --> 00:17:58,311
THEY'RE GOING TO NEED
AN E.V.A. TO FIX IT

541
00:17:58,345 --> 00:18:00,247
AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO LAND
TILL THE MORNING.

542
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,048
IT'S MORNING EVERY 45 MINUTES
ON THE SHUTTLE.

543
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:03,250
MORNING AT EDWARDS.

544
00:18:03,283 --> 00:18:04,384
IT'S MORNING RIGHT NOW.

545
00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:06,553
THE E.V.A.'s TAKING THEM
A LITTLE TIME.

546
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:12,024
WELL, IT'S A RED-LETTER DAY
FOR U.S. AVIATION, ISN'T IT?

547
00:18:12,058 --> 00:18:13,326
PETER JOBSON WAS VERY CALM.

548
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:14,827
HE SAID IT WAS
A MINOR PROBLEM.

549
00:18:14,861 --> 00:18:16,129
ALL RIGHT, GO
BACK TO WORK.

550
00:18:16,163 --> 00:18:17,464
C.J. NEEDS THE
BRIEFING ROOM.

551
00:18:17,497 --> 00:18:18,931
LET'S MOVE PREP TO
THE ROOSEVELT ROOM

552
00:18:18,965 --> 00:18:20,267
WHEN THE PRESIDENT'S FREE.

553
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:23,035
I DON'T BELIEVE HE'S
GOING TO GET ANYTHING ON CUBA

554
00:18:23,069 --> 00:18:24,604
BUT WE'RE WORKING OUT
AN ANSWER.

555
00:18:24,637 --> 00:18:25,805
ALSO ON TEACHERS.

556
00:18:25,838 --> 00:18:27,006
OKAY.

557
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:28,074
SAM, KEEP IN TOUCH

558
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:29,676
WITH PETER JOBSON

559
00:18:29,709 --> 00:18:32,379
AND LET ME KNOW
AS SOON AS IT LANDS, WOULD YOU?

560
00:18:32,412 --> 00:18:33,813
YEAH.

561
00:18:33,846 --> 00:18:36,015
YEAH.
TOBY?

562
00:18:36,048 --> 00:18:37,617
CNN'S GOT THE NIGHTHAWK.

563
00:18:37,650 --> 00:18:39,286
THANK YOU.

564
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:41,188
Josh:
THERE WAS
A RECKLESS DEREGULATION

565
00:18:41,221 --> 00:18:43,990
OF THE SandL INDUSTRY
BY A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS

566
00:18:44,023 --> 00:18:46,359
THAT WAS FLOODED
WITH SandL CONTRIBUTIONS

567
00:18:46,393 --> 00:18:48,928
A DISASTER WHICH NEARLY
COLLAPSED THE BANKING SYSTEM

568
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:50,830
AND COST TAXPAYERS
$500 BILLION.

569
00:18:50,863 --> 00:18:52,199
Hoynes:
WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

570
00:18:52,232 --> 00:18:54,000
WE'RE NO BETTER
WITH THE MONEY
THAN THEY ARE.

571
00:18:54,033 --> 00:18:55,202
TELL ME ABOUT IT.

572
00:18:55,235 --> 00:18:56,903
THREE-QUARTERS
OF ALL SOFT MONEY

573
00:18:56,936 --> 00:18:58,205
GOING INTO
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

574
00:18:58,238 --> 00:18:59,872
ISN'T COMING FROM
LABOR UNIONS.

575
00:18:59,906 --> 00:19:01,040
IT'S COMING FROM
CORPORATIONS.

576
00:19:01,073 --> 00:19:02,141
YES, I KNOW.

577
00:19:02,175 --> 00:19:04,344
OVER A HUNDRED BUSINESSES
PAID BOTH PARTIES

578
00:19:04,377 --> 00:19:06,779
AN EXCESS OF $125,000
IN THE LAST ELECTION.

579
00:19:06,813 --> 00:19:08,615
THEY GIVE IT
TO BOTH PARTIES.

580
00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:12,452
THAT ISN'T FREE SPEECH
OR POLITICAL VALUES,
MR. VICE PRESIDENT.

581
00:19:12,485 --> 00:19:14,354
I DON'T KNOW
HOW WE'VE DONE IT

582
00:19:14,387 --> 00:19:16,356
BUT WE'VE
LEGALIZED BRIBERY.

583
00:19:16,389 --> 00:19:17,324
YEP.

584
00:19:17,357 --> 00:19:20,059
SO, WHAT WE'VE GOT
ARE TWO CORPORATE PARTIES--

585
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:21,494
ONE PRO-LIFE,
ONE PRO-CHOICE.

586
00:19:21,528 --> 00:19:23,296
WHEN I SAID
"WHAT'S YOUR POINT?"

587
00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:25,064
I MEANT, "WHAT'S
YOUR POINT?"

588
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:26,399
WE'VE NOTICED
A SUDDEN INCREASE

589
00:19:26,433 --> 00:19:29,369
IN THE AMOUNT OF RACQUETBALL
AND LATE-NIGHT POKER GAMES

590
00:19:29,402 --> 00:19:32,071
WITH DEMOCRATIC OPPONENTS
OF CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM.

591
00:19:32,104 --> 00:19:33,940
OH, COME ON, JOSH,
THIS IS WASHINGTON, D.C.

592
00:19:33,973 --> 00:19:35,242
YOU CAN'T SWING
A DEAD CAT

593
00:19:35,275 --> 00:19:37,076
WITHOUT HITTING A
DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT

594
00:19:37,109 --> 00:19:38,445
OF CAMPAIGN
FINANCE REFORM.

595
00:19:38,478 --> 00:19:41,113
CAN WE STOP RUNNING
A SECOND?

596
00:19:41,147 --> 00:19:42,549
YEAH.

597
00:19:42,582 --> 00:19:44,784
YOU'RE BACKING THE WRONG HORSE.

598
00:19:44,817 --> 00:19:46,486
YOU READ THE SAME POLLS I DO.

599
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:49,922
THE PRESIDENT'S GONE UP
NINE POINTS IN THREE WEEKS--

600
00:19:49,956 --> 00:19:51,758
51% JOB APPROVAL, BIG DEAL--

601
00:19:51,791 --> 00:19:54,961
BUT HE'S GOING ON
NATIONAL TELEVISION TONIGHT.

602
00:19:54,994 --> 00:19:57,230
HE'S GOING TO PICK UP
ANOTHER FIVE.

603
00:19:57,264 --> 00:19:59,232
THAT'S 56%-- A
14-POINT BUMP
IN A MONTH.

604
00:19:59,266 --> 00:20:01,501
LOOK, JOSH...
NOW, THAT'S DAUNTING...

605
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:02,402
HANG ON.

606
00:20:02,435 --> 00:20:04,371
IF WE BRING THIS
AIR FORCE PILOT BACK ALIVE

607
00:20:04,404 --> 00:20:05,705
THAT'S ANOTHER TEN POINTS

608
00:20:05,738 --> 00:20:08,007
AND WE'RE OFF TO THE RACES
WITH A JOB APPROVAL RATING

609
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,642
IN THE HIGH 60s.

610
00:20:09,676 --> 00:20:11,944
EVERY DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN
IN A TIGHT RACE IS PAYING A BUCK

611
00:20:11,978 --> 00:20:14,180
TO HAVE THEIR PICTURE TAKEN
WITH THE PRESIDENT.

612
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:16,983
YOU'RE LOOKING AROUND
THE RACQUETBALL COURTS SAYING

613
00:20:17,016 --> 00:20:18,217
"WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO?"

614
00:20:18,251 --> 00:20:19,686
YOU'VE HAD SOME EXPERIENCE

615
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:21,754
BATTLING JED BARTLET
WHEN HE'S RIGHT

616
00:20:21,788 --> 00:20:25,224
AND YOU'VE HAD SOME EXPERIENCE
BATTLING HIM WHEN HE'S POPULAR.

617
00:20:25,258 --> 00:20:27,193
WHY IN THE WORLD
WOULD YOU WANT TO TRY IT

618
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:29,829
WHEN HE'S BOTH
AT THE SAME TIME?

619
00:20:29,862 --> 00:20:31,631
YOU KNOW SOMETHING, JOSH?

620
00:20:31,664 --> 00:20:36,002
SOMETIMES I WONDER IF I'D
LISTENED TO YOU TWO YEARS AGO

621
00:20:36,035 --> 00:20:38,705
WOULD I BE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW?

622
00:20:38,738 --> 00:20:40,473
YOU EVER WONDER THAT?

623
00:20:45,412 --> 00:20:49,349
NO, SIR, I KNOW IT FOR SURE.

624
00:20:52,752 --> 00:20:53,520
I'M DONE.

625
00:20:53,553 --> 00:20:56,356
THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME, SIR.

626
00:21:14,407 --> 00:21:16,075
GOOD AFTERNOON.

627
00:21:16,108 --> 00:21:18,110
A U.S. AIR FORCE F-117A

628
00:21:18,144 --> 00:21:21,514
NIGHTHAWK STEALTH FIGHTER
ATTACK AIRCRAFT

629
00:21:21,548 --> 00:21:23,383
FLYING A ROUTINE PATROL

630
00:21:23,416 --> 00:21:26,052
OUT OF AL JABER AIR FORCE BASE
IN KUWAIT

631
00:21:26,085 --> 00:21:30,022
WAS SHOT DOWN OVER THE SOUTHERN
NO-FLY ZONE IN IRAQ.

632
00:21:30,056 --> 00:21:32,992
AT THIS POINT, WE DON'T KNOW
THE CONDITION OF THE PILOT.

633
00:21:33,025 --> 00:21:36,329
WE DO KNOW THE PLANE CARRIES AN
ACES II ZERO/ZERO EJECTOR SEAT

634
00:21:36,363 --> 00:21:37,730
AND THAT IT WAS ACTIVATED.

635
00:21:37,764 --> 00:21:39,599
GENERAL RICHMOND
AND GENERAL CLANCY

636
00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:41,901
WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT
IN A MOMENT.

637
00:21:41,934 --> 00:21:42,769
Reporters:
C.J.!

638
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,771
IS THERE
A RESCUE MISSION UNDERWAY?

639
00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:47,106
THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF SCENARIOS BEING CONTEMPLATED

640
00:21:47,139 --> 00:21:48,675
BUT I WOULDN'T WANT
TO SPECULATE.

641
00:21:48,708 --> 00:21:50,710
WE HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH
WITH THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT

642
00:21:50,743 --> 00:21:53,245
AND THE PRESIDENT
IS LOOKING FOR A
DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION.

643
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:54,914
Reporter:
THERE HAVE BEEN
NO MILITARY MOVES?

644
00:21:54,947 --> 00:21:55,915
NO.

645
00:21:55,948 --> 00:21:57,249
Reporters:
C.J.?

646
00:21:57,283 --> 00:21:58,718
CHRIS.

647
00:22:02,722 --> 00:22:05,091
BUT YOU FIRST HAVE TO LIST
YOUR OWN ACCOMPLISHMENTS

648
00:22:05,124 --> 00:22:06,526
OR YOU DON'T
HAVE ANY CREDIBILITY.

649
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:08,795
EXPANDING COVERAGE FOR
5 MILLION MORE POOR CHILDREN.

650
00:22:08,828 --> 00:22:11,030
MAKING HEALTH CARE PORTABLE
FOR PEOPLE WHO CHANGE JOBS.

651
00:22:11,063 --> 00:22:13,400
YOU COULD ALSO
LIST THE AGENDA
FOR THE COMING YEAR.

652
00:22:13,433 --> 00:22:14,834
YOU KNOW WHAT'S HARD
ABOUT THIS, C.J.?

653
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:16,168
SIR?

654
00:22:16,202 --> 00:22:18,070
I'M REHEARSING HERE

655
00:22:18,104 --> 00:22:19,539
WITHOUT THE PITCHER
AND THE GLASS

656
00:22:19,572 --> 00:22:21,841
AND IT'S TOTALLY
WEIRD FOR ME.

657
00:22:21,874 --> 00:22:23,410
WHAT ABOUT HIM
TAKING HIS JACKET OFF?

658
00:22:23,443 --> 00:22:24,444
I LIKE IT.
NO.

659
00:22:24,477 --> 00:22:25,478
IT'LL LOOK
STAGED.

660
00:22:25,512 --> 00:22:27,279
NOT IF HE DOES IT
AT THE RIGHT MOMENT.

661
00:22:27,313 --> 00:22:28,715
THEN THROW IT
OVER HIS SHOULDER?

662
00:22:28,748 --> 00:22:30,216
MAYBE.

663
00:22:30,249 --> 00:22:33,085
I'M ALSO NOT
WILD ABOUT THAT
HANDHELD MIKE.

664
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,621
CAN WE GET
HIM WIRED?

665
00:22:34,654 --> 00:22:36,022
NO. WITH THE MIKE,
THE STOOL

666
00:22:36,055 --> 00:22:37,356
AND THE JACKET
OVER MY SHOULDER

667
00:22:37,390 --> 00:22:38,458
I CAN DO THE
TOWN HALL MEETING

668
00:22:38,491 --> 00:22:39,726
THEN DO A COUPLE OF SETS

669
00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:40,993
AT THE COPA.

670
00:22:41,027 --> 00:22:42,328
HEY.

671
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:44,063
MY MUSICAL DIRECTOR,
ZOEY BARTLET.

672
00:22:44,096 --> 00:22:45,432
ARE YOU WORKING?

673
00:22:45,465 --> 00:22:47,500
WE'RE DOWN TO
DO I OR DO I NOT
TAKE MY JACKET OFF.

674
00:22:47,534 --> 00:22:49,035
WANT TO KNOW
WHAT I THINK?

675
00:22:49,068 --> 00:22:50,302
I HONESTLY
COULDN'T CARE LESS.

676
00:22:50,336 --> 00:22:52,472
I WANT YOU TO COME
WITH US TONIGHT.

677
00:22:52,505 --> 00:22:54,707
I WAS... DAD,
ARE YOU SWEATING?

678
00:22:54,741 --> 00:22:56,042
I'M FINE.

679
00:22:56,075 --> 00:22:57,376
YEAH.
ARE YOU SURE?

680
00:22:57,410 --> 00:22:59,045
ZOEY...
YOU TOOK YOUR PILLS?

681
00:22:59,078 --> 00:23:00,346
FINE. GO AHEAD AND COLLAPSE.

682
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:01,881
ARE YOU
CHANNELING MOM NOW?

683
00:23:01,914 --> 00:23:03,049
DAD...

684
00:23:03,082 --> 00:23:04,183
COME TO VIRGINIA
TONIGHT.

685
00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:05,518
I CAN WATCH ON TV.

686
00:23:05,552 --> 00:23:07,253
IT'S NOT LIKE
BEING THERE IN PERSON.

687
00:23:07,286 --> 00:23:08,488
YOU'RE GOING
TO TALK ABOUT ME

688
00:23:08,521 --> 00:23:09,789
AND THE CAMERA'S
GOING TO GO ON ME

689
00:23:09,822 --> 00:23:11,491
AND MY FACE IS
GOING TO TURN RED.

690
00:23:11,524 --> 00:23:13,059
IT'S JUST GOING
TO BE AWFUL FOR ME.

691
00:23:13,092 --> 00:23:14,527
BONUS, THEN
IT'S SETTLED.

692
00:23:14,561 --> 00:23:16,195
LISTEN,
CHARLIE WANTED

693
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:19,298
TO SAY SOMETHING
DURING PREP.

694
00:23:19,331 --> 00:23:20,467
OKAY.

695
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:21,934
I'M GOING
TO GO SEE MOM.

696
00:23:21,968 --> 00:23:23,436
AND YOU'RE
COMING TONIGHT?

697
00:23:23,470 --> 00:23:25,171
THANKS.
YEAH.

698
00:23:28,675 --> 00:23:30,910
ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE, WE'RE DONE.

699
00:23:30,943 --> 00:23:32,479
THANKS VERY MUCH.

700
00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:35,381
CHARLIE, ZOEY SAID
YOU HAD SOMETHING

701
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:36,916
YOU WANTED TO MENTION.

702
00:23:36,949 --> 00:23:38,250
I'M SORRY, SIR?

703
00:23:38,284 --> 00:23:40,086
THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU WANTED TO MENTION?

704
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,420
NO, SIR.
YOU SURE?

705
00:23:41,454 --> 00:23:43,389
YES, SIR. THERE WAS
JUST... I'M SORRY.

706
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:44,924
THERE WAS A
MISUNDERSTANDING.

707
00:23:44,957 --> 00:23:46,092
OKAY.

708
00:23:46,125 --> 00:23:47,426
MR. PRESIDENT?
YEAH?

709
00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:49,496
I WAS THINKING IT
MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA

710
00:23:49,529 --> 00:23:50,930
TO HAVE A SIGNAL
WORKED OUT.

711
00:23:50,963 --> 00:23:52,431
A SIGNAL FOR WHAT?

712
00:23:52,465 --> 00:23:53,866
GOOD NEWS
REGARDING THE PILOT

713
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:55,735
AND IT COMES WHILE
YOU'RE ON TELEVISION.

714
00:23:55,768 --> 00:23:58,437
WHAT KIND OF SIGNAL
DID YOU HAVE IN MIND?

715
00:23:58,471 --> 00:24:00,006
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

716
00:24:01,841 --> 00:24:05,678
JUST VERY SUBTLE,
VERY SIMPLE.

717
00:24:06,813 --> 00:24:08,147
WHAT IS THAT?

718
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:10,950
IT'S A DEPARTURE.

719
00:24:10,983 --> 00:24:12,284
IT'S A SAFE DEPARTURE.

720
00:24:12,318 --> 00:24:13,586
WOULD YOU LIKE
A DIFFERENT SIGNAL?

721
00:24:13,620 --> 00:24:14,954
NO, THAT ONE'S GOOD.

722
00:24:14,987 --> 00:24:16,556
SHOULD I SPREAD IT AROUND?

723
00:24:16,589 --> 00:24:18,591
I THINK IT'S GOING
TO GET AROUND ALL BY ITSELF

724
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:20,493
BUT IF YOU WANT
TO HELP IT ALONG A LITTLE

725
00:24:20,527 --> 00:24:21,961
THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH THAT.

726
00:24:21,994 --> 00:24:24,664
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

727
00:24:27,366 --> 00:24:28,868
( knocking )

728
00:24:28,901 --> 00:24:30,202
Leo:
HEY, JOSH.

729
00:24:30,236 --> 00:24:32,038
WHAT'S GOING ON?

730
00:24:32,071 --> 00:24:33,439
I JUST TALKED TO HOYNES.

731
00:24:33,472 --> 00:24:35,307
IS HE IN?

732
00:24:35,341 --> 00:24:36,442
YEAH, HE'S ON BOARD.

733
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:37,977
YOU DID A GOOD JOB.

734
00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:38,978
GOOD.

735
00:24:39,011 --> 00:24:39,779
JOSH...
YEAH?

736
00:24:39,812 --> 00:24:41,781
DID YOU HAPPEN
TO SAY TO HIM

737
00:24:41,814 --> 00:24:44,383
THAT IF SCOTT HOTCHKISS
COMES BACK ALIVE

738
00:24:44,416 --> 00:24:47,219
THERE'LL BE
A TEN-POINT BUMP?

739
00:24:47,253 --> 00:24:49,221
I DID.

740
00:24:49,255 --> 00:24:50,489
I GOT TO TELL YOU

741
00:24:50,523 --> 00:24:53,425
IF THE PRESIDENT
EVER HEARD ABOUT THAT

742
00:24:53,459 --> 00:24:55,294
HE'D BE OUT OF HIS SKIN.

743
00:24:55,327 --> 00:24:56,295
LEO...
DON'T DO THAT.

744
00:24:56,328 --> 00:24:57,797
I WAS JUST...
NOT EVEN IN PRIVATE.

745
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:59,832
THE GUY'S BEEN
BLOWN OUT OF THE SKY.

746
00:24:59,866 --> 00:25:01,701
HE COULD BE
SERIOUSLY INJURED.

747
00:25:01,734 --> 00:25:04,403
FOR SURE HE'S IN AN
IRAQI DESERT WITH NO WATER.

748
00:25:04,436 --> 00:25:06,405
HE'S GOT TO KEEP
RADIO SILENCE

749
00:25:06,438 --> 00:25:08,808
'CAUSE WE'RE NOT
THE ONLY ONES
LOOKING FOR HIM

750
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:10,710
AND IF THEY GET
TO HIM FIRST

751
00:25:10,743 --> 00:25:13,646
AND IF ALL HE GIVES THEM
IS NAME, RANK AND SERIAL NUMBER

752
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,648
THEY'RE GOING TO BEAT HIM, JOSH.

753
00:25:15,682 --> 00:25:17,750
THEY'RE GOING
TO TORTURE HIM.

754
00:25:17,784 --> 00:25:20,587
THIS IS TO SAY NOTHING
OF 80 GUYS IN THE HELICOPTER

755
00:25:20,620 --> 00:25:21,921
WHO ARE GOING
TO GET SHOT AT

756
00:25:21,954 --> 00:25:24,490
IF THEY'RE PICKED UP
UNDERNEATH THE RADAR.

757
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:26,759
YOU'RE RIGHT.

758
00:25:26,793 --> 00:25:30,930
I KNOW THE PRESIDENT'S BEEN
JOKING AROUND ALL DAY

759
00:25:30,963 --> 00:25:33,332
BUT HE'S BEEN LIVING AND DYING
WITH EVERY HOUR OF THIS

760
00:25:33,365 --> 00:25:34,834
AND HE'D BE REALLY
OFFENDED IF HE KNEW

761
00:25:34,867 --> 00:25:36,603
YOU WERE DISCUSSING
A POLITICAL UPSIDE

762
00:25:36,636 --> 00:25:37,937
AND I GOT TO TELL, JOSH

763
00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:39,572
AS A GUY WHO FLEW PLANES
IN THE WAR

764
00:25:39,606 --> 00:25:42,308
I WAS REALLY OFFENDED, TOO.

765
00:25:42,341 --> 00:25:43,442
YES, SIR.

766
00:25:43,475 --> 00:25:45,344
OKAY.

767
00:25:45,377 --> 00:25:46,679
OKAY.

768
00:25:46,713 --> 00:25:47,947
YOU DID GOOD TODAY.

769
00:25:47,980 --> 00:25:49,816
I'M JUST SAYING THERE'S
A WAY TO BE A PERSON.

770
00:25:49,849 --> 00:25:51,083
I APOLOGIZE.

771
00:25:51,117 --> 00:25:52,852
YOUR APOLOGY'S ACCEPTED.

772
00:25:54,253 --> 00:25:56,422
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

773
00:25:56,455 --> 00:25:59,592
IT LOOKED LIKE YOU
WANTED TO HUG ME.

774
00:25:59,626 --> 00:26:03,596
OH, MAN,
DID YOU READ THAT WRONG.

775
00:26:05,264 --> 00:26:06,633
OKAY.

776
00:26:08,267 --> 00:26:10,569
OH, HEY,
SAM WAS HERE BEFORE.

777
00:26:10,603 --> 00:26:12,571
WE'VE GOT SOME
KIND OF SIGNAL?

778
00:26:12,605 --> 00:26:14,807
YEAH, FOR IF WE KNOW SOMETHING
DURING THE TOWN HALL.

779
00:26:14,841 --> 00:26:16,208
IT'S GOING
TO BE DAYS.
MAYBE NOT.

780
00:26:16,242 --> 00:26:17,409
WHAT'S THE SIGNAL?

781
00:26:17,443 --> 00:26:18,611
IT'S THIS HERE.

782
00:26:18,645 --> 00:26:20,146
WHAT IS THAT?

783
00:26:20,179 --> 00:26:21,614
THAT'S THE SIGNAL.

784
00:26:21,648 --> 00:26:23,750
LOOKS LIKE A
HIP-HOP GESTURE.

785
00:26:23,783 --> 00:26:24,951
IT'S, UH,
A PLANE TAKING OFF.

786
00:26:24,984 --> 00:26:26,919
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
A PLANE TAKING OFF.

787
00:26:26,953 --> 00:26:28,921
IT MEANS SOMETHING GOOD
HAS HAPPENED.

788
00:26:28,955 --> 00:26:30,823
THIS MEANS SOMETHING BAD
HAS HAPPENED.

789
00:26:30,857 --> 00:26:32,992
I GOT IT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
A CRYPTOGRAPHER...

790
00:26:33,025 --> 00:26:34,160
I SAID I'VE GOT IT.

791
00:26:34,193 --> 00:26:35,628
LEO...

792
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:40,633
I REALLY DO APOLOGIZE.

793
00:26:41,968 --> 00:26:44,070
THANK YOU.

794
00:26:48,875 --> 00:26:50,542
ZOEY? CAN I TALK
TO YOU IN HERE?

795
00:26:50,576 --> 00:26:51,543
YEAH.

796
00:26:51,577 --> 00:26:53,212
I WISH YOU HADN'T
DONE THAT.

797
00:26:53,245 --> 00:26:54,413
YOU NEEDED PROMPTING.

798
00:26:54,446 --> 00:26:55,915
I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU CHICKENED OUT.

799
00:26:55,948 --> 00:26:57,850
I DIDN'T CHICKEN
OUT AND I DIDN'T
NEED PROMPTING.

800
00:26:57,884 --> 00:26:58,951
IT'S JUST INAPPROPRIATE.

801
00:26:58,985 --> 00:27:00,452
I DON'T HAVE THE SAME
RELATIONSHIP

802
00:27:00,486 --> 00:27:02,021
WITH YOUR FATHER
THAT YOU HAVE.

803
00:27:02,054 --> 00:27:03,555
I DON'T HAVE THE
SAME RELATIONSHIP
THAT THE STAFF HAS.

804
00:27:03,589 --> 00:27:04,824
I DON'T THINK
IT'S OUT OF LINE

805
00:27:04,857 --> 00:27:06,392
FOR YOU TO PUT
YOUR TWO CENTS IN.

806
00:27:06,425 --> 00:27:07,794
I'M SORRY, WE'RE
USING YOUR OFFICE...

807
00:27:07,827 --> 00:27:09,528
YOU CAN KEEP FIGHTING
IN A SECOND.

808
00:27:09,561 --> 00:27:10,930
I JUST NEED TO FIND SOMETHING.

809
00:27:10,963 --> 00:27:12,932
I ALSO DO NOT THINK
IT WAS OUT OF LINE

810
00:27:12,965 --> 00:27:14,566
FOR ME TO HAVE
STUCK UP FOR YOU

811
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,368
SINCE YOU WERE
CLEARLY CHICKEN.

812
00:27:16,402 --> 00:27:17,804
ZOEY, I WORK IN A BUILDING

813
00:27:17,837 --> 00:27:19,605
WITH THE SMARTEST PEOPLE
IN THE WORLD.

814
00:27:19,638 --> 00:27:20,973
( Josh grunts )

815
00:27:23,142 --> 00:27:24,243
DONNA!

816
00:27:26,278 --> 00:27:27,446
HI.

817
00:27:27,479 --> 00:27:28,748
HOW YOU DOING?

818
00:27:28,781 --> 00:27:30,616
WE SHOULD GET SOMETHING
TEMPORARY

819
00:27:30,649 --> 00:27:31,984
SO THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

820
00:27:32,018 --> 00:27:33,019
Josh:
YEAH.

821
00:27:33,052 --> 00:27:34,787
ANYWAY, I WISH
YOU WOULDN'T
DO THAT ANYMORE.

822
00:27:34,821 --> 00:27:36,622
OKAY, BUT YOU'RE WRONG.

823
00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:39,325
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

824
00:27:44,163 --> 00:27:45,798
COME IN.

825
00:27:45,832 --> 00:27:47,466
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

826
00:27:47,499 --> 00:27:49,501
LISTEN.
SAM...

827
00:27:49,535 --> 00:27:50,770
NO, NO, IT'S NOT...

828
00:27:50,803 --> 00:27:53,439
CATHY'S GETTING
PETER JOBSON ON
THE PHONE FOR YOU.

829
00:27:53,472 --> 00:27:55,241
HE'S GOING TO TELL
YOU ABOUT THIS.

830
00:27:55,274 --> 00:27:56,675
SAM?

831
00:27:56,709 --> 00:27:58,945
THERE WAS A SCREWUP
WHEN THEY CLOSED THE DOOR.

832
00:27:58,978 --> 00:28:02,148
THEY WERE DOING SOMETHING WHICH
IS CALLED A MANUAL WINCH-OP

833
00:28:02,181 --> 00:28:04,884
WHICH MEANS THEY DISCONNECT
THE MOTOR FROM THE DOOR

834
00:28:04,917 --> 00:28:07,486
AND SOMEHOW, EITHER
AS A RESULT OF THAT

835
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:09,455
OF SOMETHING
COMPLETELY
UNRELATED

836
00:28:09,488 --> 00:28:11,690
THE TWO O.M.S. ENGINES
ARE FAILING.

837
00:28:11,724 --> 00:28:14,226
O.M.S. ARE THE ORBITAL
MANEUVERING SYSTEMS.

838
00:28:17,730 --> 00:28:20,066
DO YOU KNOW
IF THEY HAVE PRIMARY R.C.S.?

839
00:28:20,099 --> 00:28:22,902
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TRYING NOW.

840
00:28:22,935 --> 00:28:24,603
TOBY?

841
00:28:24,636 --> 00:28:26,405
IF THIS WERE
AT A CERTAIN LEVEL

842
00:28:26,438 --> 00:28:28,240
THEY WOULD'VE CALLED
THE PRESIDENT.

843
00:28:28,274 --> 00:28:29,241
YEAH.

844
00:28:29,275 --> 00:28:30,376
SERIOUSLY.

845
00:28:30,409 --> 00:28:32,644
YEAH.

846
00:28:32,678 --> 00:28:36,115
ANYWAY, CATHY'S GETTING
PETER JOBSON.

847
00:28:37,817 --> 00:28:40,652
BEFORE, WHEN
YOU FIRST ASKED ME

848
00:28:40,686 --> 00:28:45,224
THE REASON I REACTED
THE WAY I DID--

849
00:28:45,257 --> 00:28:50,396
I WAS JUST EMBARRASSED,
'CAUSE, HONESTLY, I...

850
00:28:50,429 --> 00:28:53,499
FORGOT HE WAS UP THERE.

851
00:28:56,302 --> 00:28:59,705
THEY HAD SWITCHED HIS MISSION
ORDER AROUND A COUPLE OF TIMES

852
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:01,440
AND I JUST LOST TRACK OF IT.

853
00:29:01,473 --> 00:29:02,775
Cathy:
TOBY

854
00:29:02,809 --> 00:29:05,044
PETER JOBSON
ON "O"-FIVE.

855
00:29:11,383 --> 00:29:13,352
THANK YOU.

856
00:29:18,357 --> 00:29:20,192
YEAH.

857
00:29:25,731 --> 00:29:27,033
MR. PRESIDENT?

858
00:29:27,066 --> 00:29:28,134
YEAH.

859
00:29:28,167 --> 00:29:30,236
ADMIRAL FITZWALLACE PHONED.
HE'S ON HIS WAY OVER.

860
00:29:30,269 --> 00:29:31,270
THANK YOU.

861
00:29:31,303 --> 00:29:33,572
WOULD YOU
LIKE ANYTHING?
NO, THANK YOU.

862
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:36,242
HEY, WHAT WAS IT THAT ZOEY WAS
TALKING ABOUT BEFORE?

863
00:29:36,275 --> 00:29:37,576
IT WAS NOTHING, SIR.

864
00:29:37,609 --> 00:29:39,578
WHAT WAS IT?

865
00:29:39,611 --> 00:29:41,113
IT WAS, UH...
IT WAS JUST

866
00:29:41,147 --> 00:29:43,249
THERE'S BEEN A REPORT
THAT'S BEEN SITTING
ON YOUR DESK

867
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:44,583
FOR A FEW WEEKS.

868
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:45,584
IT HAS?

869
00:29:45,617 --> 00:29:47,019
WELL, MY DESK, REALLY.

870
00:29:47,053 --> 00:29:48,420
AND SO I WAS READING IT

871
00:29:48,454 --> 00:29:50,957
AND IN PREP THIS LAST WEEK,
YOU'VE BEEN HAVING DISCUSSIONS

872
00:29:50,990 --> 00:29:53,059
WITH THE SENIOR STAFF
ABOUT YOUTH PARTICIPATION

873
00:29:53,092 --> 00:29:54,393
IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS.

874
00:29:54,426 --> 00:29:55,394
YOU WERE SAYING...

875
00:29:55,427 --> 00:29:56,395
WHAT'S THE REPORT?

876
00:29:56,428 --> 00:29:57,563
IT'S FROM A GROUP CALLED

877
00:29:57,596 --> 00:29:59,065
THE CENTER
FOR POLICY ALTERNATIVES

878
00:29:59,098 --> 00:30:01,500
AND THERE'S SOME THINGS IN THERE
THAT HIT HOME WITH ME

879
00:30:01,533 --> 00:30:04,103
AND I HAD MENTIONED IT
TO ZOEY, AND THAT'S WHY...

880
00:30:04,136 --> 00:30:05,671
MR. PRESIDENT,
CHAIRMAN FITZWALLACE.

881
00:30:05,704 --> 00:30:06,805
THANK YOU.

882
00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:07,907
CHARLIE, WHATEVER IT IS

883
00:30:07,940 --> 00:30:09,808
STICK IT IN MY BRIEFCASE FOR ME,
WOULD YOU?

884
00:30:09,842 --> 00:30:11,010
YES, SIR.
THANK YOU.

885
00:30:11,043 --> 00:30:13,412
MR. PRESIDENT.
FITZ, DO YOU HAVE
ANY NEWS AT ALL?

886
00:30:13,445 --> 00:30:15,647
ACTUALLY, I THINK
I'M GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING

887
00:30:15,681 --> 00:30:16,648
IN JUST A MINUTE.

888
00:30:16,682 --> 00:30:19,085
THEY'LL PUT THE CALL
THROUGH HERE.

889
00:30:19,118 --> 00:30:20,119
OKAY.

890
00:30:20,152 --> 00:30:22,254
DO YOU MIND
IF I WAIT WITH YOU, SIR?

891
00:30:22,288 --> 00:30:23,322
NO.

892
00:30:26,859 --> 00:30:28,594
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

893
00:30:28,627 --> 00:30:30,229
I FEEL FINE.

894
00:30:30,262 --> 00:30:31,597
YEAH?

895
00:30:31,630 --> 00:30:33,399
YEAH, I FEEL FINE.

896
00:30:37,303 --> 00:30:41,273
THE EAGLE ON THE SEAL
IN THE CARPET...

897
00:30:41,307 --> 00:30:43,542
IN ONE TALON,
HE'S HOLDING ARROWS

898
00:30:43,575 --> 00:30:45,477
AND IN THE OTHER,
AN OLIVE BRANCH.

899
00:30:45,511 --> 00:30:49,281
MOST OF THE TIME, THE EAGLE'S
FACING THE OLIVE BRANCH

900
00:30:49,315 --> 00:30:53,552
BUT WHEN CONGRESS DECLARES WAR,
THE EAGLE FACES THE ARROWS.

901
00:30:53,585 --> 00:30:55,021
HOW DO THEY DO THAT?

902
00:30:55,054 --> 00:30:57,656
DO YOU THINK THEY'VE
GOT A SECOND CARPET

903
00:30:57,689 --> 00:31:01,293
SITTING AROUND
IN THE BASEMENT SOMEPLACE?

904
00:31:01,327 --> 00:31:03,029
I DON'T KNOW.

905
00:31:03,062 --> 00:31:05,264
MAYBE THIS PIECE
IN THE MIDDLE CUTS OUT

906
00:31:05,297 --> 00:31:07,566
AND THEY DO IT LIKE
A BASKETBALL COURT.

907
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:08,867
I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW, FITZ.

908
00:31:08,901 --> 00:31:10,002
EXCUSE ME, CHAIRMAN

909
00:31:10,036 --> 00:31:11,737
THAT'S YOUR CALL--
THE BLINKING LIGHT.

910
00:31:11,770 --> 00:31:13,039
THANK YOU.

911
00:31:13,072 --> 00:31:15,774
I'LL STOP BUGGING YOU
IN JUST A MINUTE, MR. PRESIDENT.

912
00:31:15,807 --> 00:31:18,377
YEAH.

913
00:31:18,410 --> 00:31:20,947
THANKS.

914
00:31:20,980 --> 00:31:22,381
MR. PRESIDENT

915
00:31:22,414 --> 00:31:25,051
I HAVE CAPTAIN
SCOTT HOTCHKISS
ON THE PHONE.

916
00:31:25,084 --> 00:31:26,752
HE'S CLEARED
IRAQI AIRSPACE

917
00:31:26,785 --> 00:31:29,021
AND HE'S ON HIS WAY
TO TEL AVIV.

918
00:31:30,656 --> 00:31:32,992
FITZ...

919
00:31:33,025 --> 00:31:34,994
CONGRATULATIONS, SIR.

920
00:31:35,027 --> 00:31:36,562
THE KID'S ALL RIGHT?

921
00:31:36,595 --> 00:31:38,297
HE'S GOT
A SPRAINED ANKLE.

922
00:31:38,330 --> 00:31:39,431
WELL, THAT'S...

923
00:31:39,465 --> 00:31:42,568
THAT'S A JOB AWFULLY
WELL DONE, MR. CHAIRMAN.

924
00:31:42,601 --> 00:31:43,902
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

925
00:31:43,936 --> 00:31:44,903
I OWE YOU ONE.

926
00:31:44,937 --> 00:31:46,405
NAH, THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS.

927
00:31:46,438 --> 00:31:47,506
ALL THE SAME

928
00:31:47,539 --> 00:31:49,942
I'M GOING TO CHECK OUT
THAT THING WITH CARPET.

929
00:31:49,976 --> 00:31:51,944
TALK TO THE PILOT.

930
00:31:51,978 --> 00:31:55,081
SERIOUSLY, I'M GOING
TO GET AN ANSWER
FOR YOU ON THAT.

931
00:31:55,114 --> 00:31:57,950
CAPTAIN HOTCHKISS,
THIS IS PRESIDENT BARTLET.

932
00:31:57,984 --> 00:31:59,751
HOW'S YOUR ANKLE?

933
00:31:59,785 --> 00:32:01,753
GOOD.

934
00:32:01,787 --> 00:32:03,755
UH, BEFORE YOU SAY ANOTHER WORD

935
00:32:03,789 --> 00:32:05,591
GIVE ME
YOUR PARENTS' PHONE NUMBER.

936
00:32:05,624 --> 00:32:07,393
I NEVER GET TO MAKE THIS CALL.

937
00:32:07,426 --> 00:32:09,228
RADAR OFFICERS
ABOARD THE MINNEAPOLIS

938
00:32:09,261 --> 00:32:10,929
MONITORED CAPTAIN HOTCHKISS

939
00:32:10,963 --> 00:32:13,532
AS HIS PLANE WENT
WHAT'S CALLED "FEET DRY"

940
00:32:13,565 --> 00:32:15,267
SOUTH OF THE 33rd PARALLEL.

941
00:32:15,301 --> 00:32:16,268
All:
C.J.!

942
00:32:16,302 --> 00:32:17,169
C.J.:
KATIE.

943
00:32:17,203 --> 00:32:19,138
DID WE USE SAUDI ARABIAN
AIRSPACE, AND IF SO

944
00:32:19,171 --> 00:32:20,806
WAS IT WITH
THE SAUDIS'
PERMISSION?

945
00:32:20,839 --> 00:32:22,074
WE DID USE SAUDI AIRSPACE.

946
00:32:22,108 --> 00:32:23,509
WE FLEW SECRETLY
ON THE WAY IN.

947
00:32:23,542 --> 00:32:25,877
THEY WERE INFORMED
OF THE MISSION ON THE WAY OUT.

948
00:32:25,911 --> 00:32:27,980
Man:
IS THAT WHEN THE
BRITISH WERE TOLD?

949
00:32:28,014 --> 00:32:29,848
THAT'S WHEN THE BRITISH
WERE TOLD.

950
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:30,949
IT'S AFTER 7:00

951
00:32:30,983 --> 00:32:32,718
AND WE HAVE TO RIDE BUSES
TO ARLINGTON.

952
00:32:32,751 --> 00:32:35,087
THIS MATERIAL WILL BE COVERED
IN MUCH GREATER DETAIL

953
00:32:35,121 --> 00:32:37,523
AT THE PENTAGON BRIEFING
WHICH WILL BEGIN 30 MINUTES

954
00:32:37,556 --> 00:32:39,491
AFTER OUR RETURN.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.

955
00:32:39,525 --> 00:32:40,626
All:
C.J.!

956
00:32:40,659 --> 00:32:43,262
EXCUSE ME.

957
00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:46,198
Carol:
NICE!

958
00:32:46,232 --> 00:32:48,234
AND I WANT TO
CONGRATULATE YOU, CAROL.

959
00:32:48,267 --> 00:32:50,802
I REALLY THOUGHT I WAS
GOING TO SEE SAUDI ARABIA

960
00:32:50,836 --> 00:32:51,837
SPELLED WITH A "Y."

961
00:32:51,870 --> 00:32:53,305
C.J., I AM
A MUCH BETTER SPELLER

962
00:32:53,339 --> 00:32:54,973
THAN YOU GIVE ME
CREDIT FOR.

963
00:32:55,007 --> 00:32:56,275
YES. ONE "L"
IN TEL AVIV?

964
00:32:56,308 --> 00:32:57,276
OKAY.

965
00:32:57,309 --> 00:32:58,277
Danny:
C.J.?

966
00:32:58,310 --> 00:32:59,345
IN THE OFFICE.

967
00:33:01,847 --> 00:33:03,182
DANNY, I DON'T EVEN
WANT TO HEAR IT.

968
00:33:03,215 --> 00:33:04,283
I DID EXACTLY
THE RIGHT THING.

969
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:05,817
YOUR NOSE IS BENT
OUT OF JOINT

970
00:33:05,851 --> 00:33:06,918
AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN.

971
00:33:06,952 --> 00:33:07,919
YOU TOLD ME POINT-BLANK

972
00:33:07,953 --> 00:33:09,488
YOU WERE WORKING
ON A DIPLOMATIC...

973
00:33:09,521 --> 00:33:10,289
YOU LOOKED AT ME...

974
00:33:10,322 --> 00:33:12,658
WHAT'D YOU THINK
I WAS GOING TO DO--

975
00:33:12,691 --> 00:33:14,060
GIVE YOU LONGITUDE
AND LATITUDE?

976
00:33:14,093 --> 00:33:16,795
DO YOU WANT THE FREQUENCY
WE WERE TRANSMITTING ON?

977
00:33:16,828 --> 00:33:18,164
YOU DIDN'T HAVE
TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.

978
00:33:18,197 --> 00:33:20,466
YOU COULD HAVE SAID, "WE'RE NOT
RULING ANYTHING IN OR OUT

979
00:33:20,499 --> 00:33:22,234
AND I WON'T LET YOU
TAKE ME DOWN THAT PATH"

980
00:33:22,268 --> 00:33:23,602
AND IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN DONE WITH.

981
00:33:23,635 --> 00:33:25,337
IF BY STANDING UP
AND LYING, I MISDIRECTED

982
00:33:25,371 --> 00:33:27,473
THE IRAQI COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
FOR EVEN HALF A BEAT

983
00:33:27,506 --> 00:33:29,708
THEN IT WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTH
IT-- THAT'S A NO-BRAINER--

984
00:33:29,741 --> 00:33:32,144
AND IF I DIDN'T, THEN IT
CERTAINLY WAS WORTH TRYING.

985
00:33:32,178 --> 00:33:33,279
THERE ARE ONLY 50 PEOPLE

986
00:33:33,312 --> 00:33:35,381
WHO CAN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY I LIED THIS MORNING

987
00:33:35,414 --> 00:33:37,616
AND THEY ALL WORK
IN THE WHITE HOUSE PRESSROOM.

988
00:33:37,649 --> 00:33:38,884
I'M SLEEPING FINE TONIGHT.

989
00:33:38,917 --> 00:33:40,486
YOU DIDN'T HAVE
TO CALL ON ME.

990
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:41,553
EVERY HAND SHOT UP.

991
00:33:41,587 --> 00:33:44,022
EVERYBODY WAS GOING TO
ASK THE SAME QUESTION.

992
00:33:44,056 --> 00:33:46,058
YOU KNEW WHAT
YOUR ANSWER WAS
GOING TO BE.

993
00:33:46,092 --> 00:33:47,459
YOU CALLED ON ME.

994
00:33:47,493 --> 00:33:49,328
WELL... YES, I DID.

995
00:33:49,361 --> 00:33:50,796
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
RATHER DONE THAT

996
00:33:50,829 --> 00:33:53,132
TO A JOURNALIST LESS SUPPORTIVE
OF THIS ADMINISTRATION?

997
00:33:53,165 --> 00:33:54,833
NO, I CHOSE YOU.

998
00:33:54,866 --> 00:33:56,502
I'M NOT STAYING IN
THE PENALTY BOX.

999
00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:58,670
I HAVE COVERED
THE WHITE HOUSE
FOR EIGHT YEARS

1000
00:33:58,704 --> 00:33:59,738
WITH THE NEW YORK TIMES

1001
00:33:59,771 --> 00:34:00,672
THE WASHINGTON POST

1002
00:34:00,706 --> 00:34:03,175
TIME MAGAZINE AND THE
DALLAS MORNING NEWS

1003
00:34:03,209 --> 00:34:05,511
AND I'M TELLING YOU,
YOU CAN'T MESS ME
AROUND LIKE THIS!

1004
00:34:05,544 --> 00:34:07,879
DANNY, I GOT TO TELL YOU
THAT WAS-- SERIOUSLY--

1005
00:34:07,913 --> 00:34:09,415
THAT WAS A TURN-ON
WHEN YOU SAID THAT

1006
00:34:09,448 --> 00:34:11,117
THOUGH I DON'T KNOW
WHY YOU DECIDED TO BE

1007
00:34:11,150 --> 00:34:13,552
YOUR MOST HAUGHTY
ON THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS

1008
00:34:13,585 --> 00:34:14,353
IN THAT SENTENCE.

1009
00:34:14,386 --> 00:34:16,688
C.J.
THE BUSES
ARE LEAVING.

1010
00:34:19,525 --> 00:34:21,727
THE BUSES ARE LEAVING.

1011
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,496
Leo:
GIRLS' SOFTBALL?

1012
00:34:24,530 --> 00:34:26,332
WOMEN'S SOFTBALL.
IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.

1013
00:34:26,365 --> 00:34:28,767
MRS. LANDINGHAM, I'M WATCHING
A LIVE SPORTING EVENT

1014
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,169
FROM START
TO FINISH TONIGHT.

1015
00:34:30,202 --> 00:34:33,372
AND WHEN SACRAMENTO STATE
AND THE UNIVERSITY OF THE
PACIFIC GET TOGETHER

1016
00:34:33,405 --> 00:34:35,006
IT'S USUALLY
A BARN BURNER, SIR.

1017
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,875
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SPOIL
MY GOOD TIME FOR ME.

1018
00:34:36,908 --> 00:34:38,177
OH, SIR, I THINK
WE BOTH KNOW

1019
00:34:38,210 --> 00:34:39,645
FROM EXPERIENCE
THAT'S NOT TRUE.

1020
00:34:39,678 --> 00:34:40,712
YEAH.

1021
00:34:40,746 --> 00:34:43,149
YOU NEEDED TO BE IN THE CAR
TEN MINUTES AGO.

1022
00:34:43,182 --> 00:34:45,117
DO YOU SEE ME
WALKING OUT THE DOOR?

1023
00:34:45,151 --> 00:34:46,252
NO, I SEE YOU STANDING
AND ARGUING

1024
00:34:46,285 --> 00:34:47,486
WITH A SENIOR CITIZEN.

1025
00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:48,720
I'M LEAVING.

1026
00:34:48,754 --> 00:34:50,289
SAM'S GOT SOME
NOTES ON CUBA

1027
00:34:50,322 --> 00:34:52,057
AND SOME NOTES
ON FARM LOANS

1028
00:34:52,090 --> 00:34:53,559
I'D LIKE YOU
TO LOOK OVER
IN THE CAR.

1029
00:34:53,592 --> 00:34:54,560
YOU KNOW WHAT?

1030
00:34:54,593 --> 00:34:56,828
I'LL BE AT THE CAR
IN JUST A SECOND.

1031
00:34:56,862 --> 00:34:58,464
YES, SIR.
THANK YOU.

1032
00:35:04,336 --> 00:35:05,371
TOBY?

1033
00:35:07,806 --> 00:35:09,441
TOBY?

1034
00:35:10,909 --> 00:35:13,445
EXCUSE ME, MR. PRESIDENT.

1035
00:35:13,479 --> 00:35:14,246
I'M SORRY.

1036
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,747
YOU CAN'T SEE THEM.

1037
00:35:15,781 --> 00:35:17,416
THEY'RE OVER AUSTRALIA NOW.

1038
00:35:17,449 --> 00:35:20,486
I JUST SPOKE TO THE
MISSION COMMANDER.

1039
00:35:20,519 --> 00:35:23,955
THEY'RE TRYING FIRING
SOMETHING CALLED AN R.C.S.

1040
00:35:23,989 --> 00:35:25,857
YEAH, IT'S THE REACTION
CONTROL SYSTEM.

1041
00:35:25,891 --> 00:35:28,960
IT'S ACTUALLY 40 SEPARATE
ENGINES AROUND THE SHUTTLE.

1042
00:35:28,994 --> 00:35:30,396
IF THAT DOESN'T
WORK, THEY GOT

1043
00:35:30,429 --> 00:35:32,298
ABOUT 39
OTHER THINGS
THEY CAN TRY.

1044
00:35:32,331 --> 00:35:35,066
THERE'S REDUNDANCY
AFTER REDUNDANCY

1045
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:38,504
AFTER REDUNDANCY BUILT IN,
AND FOR GOOD MEASURE

1046
00:35:38,537 --> 00:35:40,972
THEY HAVE ATLANTIS
WARMING UP ON THE
LAUNCH PAD.

1047
00:35:41,006 --> 00:35:42,641
THEY COULD DOCK
WITH THE COLUMBIA

1048
00:35:42,674 --> 00:35:43,675
IN ABOUT TWO HOURS.

1049
00:35:43,709 --> 00:35:47,546
WE CAN DO THAT NOW, TOBY.

1050
00:35:47,579 --> 00:35:50,949
THE FIRST THING THE SHUTTLE DOES
AFTER IT LEAVES THE ATMOSPHERE

1051
00:35:50,982 --> 00:35:52,351
IS OPEN THE CARGO BAY DOORS.

1052
00:35:52,384 --> 00:35:54,853
THAT'S WHAT LETS THE HEAT OUT.

1053
00:35:54,886 --> 00:35:59,425
ONCE THE DOORS ARE CLOSED,
THEY HAVE A PRETTY SHORT WINDOW

1054
00:35:59,458 --> 00:36:02,328
TO GET BACK BEFORE IT OVERHEATS.

1055
00:36:02,361 --> 00:36:04,996
THEN THEY'LL OPEN
THOSE DOORS AGAIN.

1056
00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:06,332
HOW?

1057
00:36:06,365 --> 00:36:09,835
SAME WAY THEY CLOSED THEM--
WITH A FIVE-DOLLAR WRENCH.

1058
00:36:09,868 --> 00:36:11,337
MR. PRESIDENT...

1059
00:36:11,370 --> 00:36:13,939
WHEN WE'RE
DONE TONIGHT

1060
00:36:13,972 --> 00:36:17,543
YOU SHOULD TAKE THE NEXT FLIGHT
OUT TO EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE

1061
00:36:17,576 --> 00:36:20,746
MEET THE THING WHEN IT LANDS,
STOP BEING A HORSE'S ASS

1062
00:36:20,779 --> 00:36:22,080
AND TALK TO YOUR BROTHER.

1063
00:36:22,113 --> 00:36:25,451
MR. PRESIDENT...

1064
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:32,057
I APPRECIATE YOUR TRYING
TO BE A COMFORT

1065
00:36:32,090 --> 00:36:35,461
AND I APPRECIATE THAT YOU HAVE

1066
00:36:35,494 --> 00:36:38,897
SOME UNDERSTANDING
OF THE SITUATION
WITH MY BROTHER

1067
00:36:38,930 --> 00:36:42,901
BUT THE THING WAS SUPPOSED
TO LAND 19 HOURS AGO.

1068
00:36:42,934 --> 00:36:47,005
OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A PROBLEM.

1069
00:36:47,038 --> 00:36:51,142
IT'S SPACE TRAVEL AND I DON'T
BELIEVE ANY PROBLEM IS MINOR.

1070
00:36:51,176 --> 00:36:54,813
THE SHUTTLE FLIES ITSELF, TOBY.

1071
00:36:54,846 --> 00:36:59,418
NO, IT DOESN'T, MR. PRESIDENT.

1072
00:37:02,521 --> 00:37:04,923
NO...

1073
00:37:04,956 --> 00:37:06,458
IT DOESN'T.

1074
00:37:25,811 --> 00:37:27,679
Bartlet:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

1075
00:37:27,713 --> 00:37:29,448
THAT WAS A JOKE
ABOUT POLITICIANS.

1076
00:37:29,481 --> 00:37:30,749
( audience laughs )

1077
00:37:30,782 --> 00:37:31,817
HERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

1078
00:37:31,850 --> 00:37:33,619
TWO POLITICIANS ARE HAVING
AN ARGUMENT

1079
00:37:33,652 --> 00:37:35,887
AND ONE OF THEM STANDS UP
AND SHOUTS, "YOU'RE LYING!"

1080
00:37:35,921 --> 00:37:39,591
THE OTHER ONE SAYS,
"YES, I AM, BUT HEAR ME OUT."

1081
00:37:39,625 --> 00:37:42,294
Moderator:
MR. PRESIDENT, WE HAVE TIME
FOR ONE MORE QUESTION.

1082
00:37:42,328 --> 00:37:44,129
I DON'T THINK I ANSWERED
THE LAST ONE.

1083
00:37:44,162 --> 00:37:45,664
SUZANNE'S GOT ME TELLING JOKES.

1084
00:37:45,697 --> 00:37:47,265
THERE IS AN ANSWER
TO YOUR QUESTION

1085
00:37:47,299 --> 00:37:49,301
BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE IT.

1086
00:37:49,335 --> 00:37:50,869
A MAN ONCE SAID THIS:

1087
00:37:50,902 --> 00:37:53,405
"DECISIONS ARE MADE
BY THOSE WHO SHOW UP.

1088
00:37:53,439 --> 00:37:56,041
SO ARE WE FAILING YOU
OR ARE YOU FAILING US?"

1089
00:37:56,074 --> 00:37:57,343
IT'S A LITTLE OF BOTH.

1090
00:37:57,376 --> 00:37:59,945
THERE'S A GUY ON MY STAFF
NAMED CHARLIE YOUNG.

1091
00:37:59,978 --> 00:38:01,380
HE SHOWED ME A REPORT

1092
00:38:01,413 --> 00:38:03,882
FROM THE CENTER
FOR POLICY ALTERNATIVES

1093
00:38:03,915 --> 00:38:06,117
THAT SAID 61% OF YOU
AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT

1094
00:38:06,151 --> 00:38:07,753
"POLITICIANS AND POLITICAL
LEADERS HAVE

1095
00:38:07,786 --> 00:38:09,755
failed my generation."

1096
00:38:09,788 --> 00:38:13,291
When asked how
older generations see you

1097
00:38:13,325 --> 00:38:15,727
your top answers are
"Lazy, confused...

1098
00:38:15,761 --> 00:38:17,629
THE CENTER FOR POLICY
ALTERNATIVES--

1099
00:38:17,663 --> 00:38:19,565
C.J., I'LL HAVE COPIES
FOR THE BUS RIDE BACK.

1100
00:38:19,598 --> 00:38:21,232
...DETERMINED AND INDEPENDENT.

1101
00:38:21,266 --> 00:38:23,369
IF I TAKE MY JACKET OFF,
CAN I TRUST YOU ALL

1102
00:38:23,402 --> 00:38:24,870
TO READ NOTHING IN TO IT

1103
00:38:24,903 --> 00:38:27,272
OTHER THAN I'VE BEEN TALKING
FOR TWO HOURS

1104
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:29,274
AND IT'S A LITTLE HOT
UNDER THESE LIGHTS?

1105
00:38:29,307 --> 00:38:30,442
( audience laughs )

1106
00:38:38,116 --> 00:38:39,851
FOLLOW ME.

1107
00:38:39,885 --> 00:38:41,052
WHY?

1108
00:38:41,086 --> 00:38:42,788
So, overall,
entitlement payments...

1109
00:38:42,821 --> 00:38:43,822
WHERE'S TOBY?
WHY?

1110
00:38:43,855 --> 00:38:45,056
HE'S GOT A
PHONE CALL.

1111
00:38:45,090 --> 00:38:46,358
FROM WHO?
PETER JOBSON?

1112
00:38:46,392 --> 00:38:48,860
THAT'S FOR ME.

1113
00:38:48,894 --> 00:38:51,262
...crowded out public investment
in education...

1114
00:38:51,296 --> 00:38:52,631
TOBY?

1115
00:38:52,664 --> 00:38:54,500
...to say nothing
of general quality of life.

1116
00:38:54,533 --> 00:38:56,402
College students today
are facing a future...

1117
00:38:56,435 --> 00:38:57,636
...fewer government benefits.

1118
00:38:57,669 --> 00:38:59,805
JOSH.

1119
00:38:59,838 --> 00:39:02,040
That's why it doesn't come
as a galloping shock to me

1120
00:39:02,073 --> 00:39:05,977
today's young people aren't
exactly living for tomorrow.

1121
00:39:06,011 --> 00:39:07,446
There's another survey--

1122
00:39:07,479 --> 00:39:09,581
this one
from the Generation X...

1123
00:39:09,615 --> 00:39:12,518
Crowd:
BARTLET! BARTLET! BARTLET!

1124
00:39:12,551 --> 00:39:14,085
Butterfield:
GINA?

1125
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:15,186
STRAIGHT TO THE CAR.

1126
00:39:15,220 --> 00:39:17,188
HE'S NOT GOING
TO WORK THE ROPE LINE?

1127
00:39:17,222 --> 00:39:19,491
THERE'S A SOFTBALL GAME
HE WANTS TO WATCH.

1128
00:39:19,525 --> 00:39:20,859
THEY SHOW SOFTBALL
ON TV?

1129
00:39:20,892 --> 00:39:21,693
YEAH.

1130
00:39:21,727 --> 00:39:23,829
AND THE PRESIDENT
WATCHES IT?

1131
00:39:32,337 --> 00:39:35,306
THEY'RE TELLING ME
THAT WE'RE OUT OF TIME.

1132
00:39:35,340 --> 00:39:37,476
I JUST WANT TO MENTION
THAT AT SEVERAL POINTS

1133
00:39:37,509 --> 00:39:38,710
DURING THE EVENING

1134
00:39:38,744 --> 00:39:41,613
I WAS REFERRED TO AS BOTH
A LIBERAL AND A POPULIST

1135
00:39:41,647 --> 00:39:44,950
AND THE FELLOW FOURTH FROM THE
BACK CALLED ME A SOCIALIST

1136
00:39:44,983 --> 00:39:46,985
WHICH WAS NICE.
I HADN'T HEARD THAT FOR A WHILE.

1137
00:39:47,018 --> 00:39:49,655
ACTUALLY,
I'M AN ECONOMICS PROFESSOR.

1138
00:39:49,688 --> 00:39:52,858
MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER'S
GREAT-GRANDFATHER WAS

1139
00:39:52,891 --> 00:39:56,662
DR. JOSIAH BARTLET, WHO WAS
THE NEW HAMPSHIRE DELEGATE

1140
00:39:56,695 --> 00:39:58,464
REPRESENTATIVE TO THE SECOND

1141
00:39:58,497 --> 00:39:59,698
CONTINENTAL CONGRESS

1142
00:39:59,731 --> 00:40:02,367
THE ONE THAT SAT IN SESSION
IN THE SUMMER

1143
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,270
OF 1776 AND ANNOUNCED
TO THE WORLD THAT WE WERE

1144
00:40:05,303 --> 00:40:08,139
NO LONGER SUBJECTS
OF KING GEORGE III

1145
00:40:08,173 --> 00:40:10,476
BUT RATHER
A SELF-GOVERNING PEOPLE.

1146
00:40:10,509 --> 00:40:13,845
"WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE
SELF-EVIDENT," THEY SAID.

1147
00:40:13,879 --> 00:40:17,449
"THAT ALL MEN
ARE CREATED EQUAL."

1148
00:40:17,483 --> 00:40:18,684
STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM

1149
00:40:18,717 --> 00:40:20,919
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME
IN HISTORY THAT ANYONE HAD

1150
00:40:20,952 --> 00:40:22,454
EVER BOTHERED
TO WRITE THAT DOWN.

1151
00:40:22,488 --> 00:40:25,957
"DECISIONS ARE MADE
BY THOSE WHO SHOW UP."

1152
00:40:25,991 --> 00:40:28,193
CLASS DISMISSED.

1153
00:40:28,226 --> 00:40:29,928
THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
GOD BLESS YOU

1154
00:40:29,961 --> 00:40:31,096
AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.

1155
00:40:33,699 --> 00:40:34,866
WAY TO GO.

1156
00:40:39,337 --> 00:40:40,939
Crowd:
BARTLET! BARTLET! BARTLET!

1157
00:41:01,026 --> 00:41:03,128
Toscano:
HE'S NOT WORKING THE ROPE LINE.

1158
00:41:03,161 --> 00:41:06,532
STRAIGHT TO THE CAR.

1159
00:41:06,565 --> 00:41:07,933
I'VE GOT BOOKBAG.

1160
00:41:10,536 --> 00:41:13,071
Zoey:
HE USED IT
AND YOU'RE FEELING GOOD

1161
00:41:13,104 --> 00:41:14,940
AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A WAY
TO THANK ME.

1162
00:41:14,973 --> 00:41:16,608
Charlie:
YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

1163
00:41:16,642 --> 00:41:18,376
AND YOU WERE
STILL UNBELIEVABLY WRONG.

1164
00:41:18,409 --> 00:41:20,211
I ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY.

1165
00:41:20,245 --> 00:41:21,947
TOBY, WALK WITH ME.

1166
00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:22,781
YES, SIR.

1167
00:41:22,814 --> 00:41:25,150
WHAT DO YOU GOT
TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?

1168
00:41:25,183 --> 00:41:26,384
ABOUT WHAT?

1169
00:41:26,417 --> 00:41:27,786
YES, SIR.

1170
00:41:45,671 --> 00:41:48,540
BABY PICTURES HE'S
HECKLING ME WITH

1171
00:41:48,574 --> 00:41:49,841
VISA CARD BILLS.

1172
00:41:49,875 --> 00:41:51,442
NOW HE'S WALKING
THE ROPE LINE.

1173
00:41:51,476 --> 00:41:52,711
IF THERE WAS EVER A CHANCE

1174
00:41:52,744 --> 00:41:54,312
HE WAS GOING TO WALK PAST
A CROWD OF PEOPLE...

1175
00:41:54,345 --> 00:41:56,114
CHARLIE!

1176
00:41:57,983 --> 00:41:59,751
I SAW SOMETHING.

1177
00:41:59,785 --> 00:42:02,387
BY THE WAY, CHARLIE
APOLOGIZED TO ME.

1178
00:42:02,420 --> 00:42:05,223
I SAW SOMETHING.

1179
00:42:05,256 --> 00:42:06,758
Crowd:
BARTLET! BARTLET!

1180
00:42:22,507 --> 00:42:23,709
GUN!

1181
00:42:46,798 --> 00:42:48,333
( people screaming )

1182
00:42:48,366 --> 00:42:50,702
OH, GOD, WE'VE GOT PEOPLE DOWN!

1183
00:42:50,736 --> 00:42:53,171
WHO'S BEEN HIT?
WHO'S BEEN HIT?!
