1
00:00:07,592 --> 00:00:12,054
<i>Two Absolut martinis up. </i>
<i>Another Dewar's rocks. </i>

2
00:00:12,387 --> 00:00:14,556
We're not gonna run the table.

3
00:00:14,765 --> 00:00:17,808
Deep background.
I won't use your name.

4
00:00:18,142 --> 00:00:20,186
And you won't get a quote.

5
00:00:20,394 --> 00:00:22,730
- Why are we here?
- You sat down.

6
00:00:22,939 --> 00:00:25,065
- Is Josh on his way out?
- No.

7
00:00:25,273 --> 00:00:27,400
- I know he's your friend.
- He is.

8
00:00:27,609 --> 00:00:29,902
- Did Caldwell...?
- I'm not talking.

9
00:00:30,110 --> 00:00:31,362
- Who do I call?
- No.

10
00:00:31,570 --> 00:00:34,823
- Just tell me who to call.
- Call 1-800-BITE-ME.

11
00:00:35,782 --> 00:00:37,909
He's not going anywhere, Billy.

12
00:00:38,117 --> 00:00:39,619
You're lying now.

13
00:00:39,827 --> 00:00:42,120
Why would I lie to a journalist?

14
00:00:42,329 --> 00:00:44,957
Why do you keep looking
behind me?

15
00:00:45,165 --> 00:00:47,417
Alger Hiss came in with a pumpkin.

16
00:00:47,626 --> 00:00:50,461
- That girl's eyeing me.
- Really?

17
00:00:50,670 --> 00:00:53,631
I never know if they're looking
or not.

18
00:00:58,468 --> 00:01:00,095
Yeah, I think she was.

19
00:01:00,303 --> 00:01:03,681
Thank you for the casual way
you did that.

20
00:01:03,973 --> 00:01:06,183
She probably didn't notice that.

21
00:01:12,063 --> 00:01:17,734
<i>Twenty-five cars jumped the tracks,</i>
<i>spilling sodium hydroxide.... </i>

22
00:01:17,901 --> 00:01:21,487
17 across is just wrong.
You believe that, Ruth?

23
00:01:21,696 --> 00:01:23,990
- You should call them.
- I will.

24
00:01:24,198 --> 00:01:26,241
- Telephone.
- I'm in the shower.

25
00:01:26,449 --> 00:01:28,410
It's Potus.

26
00:01:35,374 --> 00:01:39,585
You can have a normal life.
You'd be amazed at how normal I am.

27
00:01:39,794 --> 00:01:42,296
It's all about budgeting your time.

28
00:01:42,505 --> 00:01:47,342
This time, this hour, this is my time.
5 a.m. to 6 a.m.

29
00:01:47,551 --> 00:01:51,762
I can work out,
think about personal matters.

30
00:01:51,971 --> 00:01:54,557
I can meet an interesting man.

31
00:01:54,765 --> 00:01:55,975
- The trick...
- Beeper.

32
00:01:56,183 --> 00:01:58,893
- What?
- I think your beeper's going.

33
00:02:29,627 --> 00:02:31,171
Lyman here.
What is it?

34
00:02:31,379 --> 00:02:34,548
<i>Please turn off all</i>
<i>electronic devices... </i>

35
00:02:34,756 --> 00:02:39,178
<i>... stow tray tables and return your</i>
<i>seats to the upright position. </i>

36
00:02:39,386 --> 00:02:41,888
<i>We will be landing shortly. </i>

37
00:02:42,096 --> 00:02:45,641
- Sir, please turn off your computer.
- I'm almost done.

38
00:02:45,850 --> 00:02:49,436
Sir, your laptop interferes
with our systems.

39
00:02:49,644 --> 00:02:53,272
You know that sounds
pretty ridiculous, right?

40
00:02:53,481 --> 00:02:57,109
Mr. Ziegler, a message was
sent to the cockpit for you.

41
00:02:57,318 --> 00:03:02,197
I'm not sure I've got it right:
"Potus in a bicycle accident"?

42
00:03:02,405 --> 00:03:04,157
You got it right.

43
00:03:04,365 --> 00:03:06,700
You can't use that until we land.

44
00:03:06,909 --> 00:03:09,953
We're flying in
a Lockheed Eagle Series L-1011.

45
00:03:10,162 --> 00:03:14,624
It carries a Sim-5
transponder tracking system.

46
00:03:14,832 --> 00:03:18,835
But I can screw it up with something
I bought at Radioshack?

47
00:03:19,044 --> 00:03:22,005
You can call when we land, sir.

48
00:03:22,214 --> 00:03:24,840
Also, I never got my peanuts.

49
00:03:25,841 --> 00:03:28,177
How you doing, Sam?

50
00:03:28,385 --> 00:03:31,054
The water pressure in here
is impressive.

51
00:03:31,262 --> 00:03:33,932
- I know.
- You could run hydraulics.

52
00:03:34,140 --> 00:03:36,558
- You want some?
- I'm fine.

53
00:03:36,767 --> 00:03:39,603
- I'm wasted.
- And free of cataracts.

54
00:03:39,978 --> 00:03:42,688
- I get that. That's funny.
- Thank you.

55
00:03:42,897 --> 00:03:46,943
Wait, your pager went off
while you were in the shower.

56
00:03:47,151 --> 00:03:48,902
I thought it was mine.

57
00:03:49,986 --> 00:03:53,406
"Potus in a bicycle accident.
Come to the office. "

58
00:03:53,615 --> 00:03:57,284
I memorized it just in case
I erased it by accident.

59
00:03:57,493 --> 00:04:00,371
These things look exactly alike.

60
00:04:01,038 --> 00:04:05,833
Anyway, I'm totally baked,
but it's not like I'm a drug person.

61
00:04:06,042 --> 00:04:09,878
- I just love pot.
- Laurie, I have to go.

62
00:04:10,087 --> 00:04:12,839
- It's 5:30 a.m.
- This doesn't look good.

63
00:04:13,048 --> 00:04:14,340
Not that good, no.

64
00:04:14,548 --> 00:04:17,385
I like you, and I'd like to call you.

65
00:04:18,177 --> 00:04:20,428
Stay right here, save the call.

66
00:04:20,679 --> 00:04:23,056
I see the logic,
but I gotta go.

67
00:04:23,264 --> 00:04:28,894
- Because Potus was in an accident?
- Yep.

68
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,826
Tell your friend Potus
to learn to ride a bike.

69
00:04:47,034 --> 00:04:51,079
He's my boss, not my friend.
It's not his name. It's his title.

70
00:04:51,287 --> 00:04:53,164
Potus?

71
00:04:53,373 --> 00:04:56,835
"President of the United States. "
I'll call you!

72
00:05:14,641 --> 00:05:19,019
- Nice morning, Mr. McGarry.
- We'll take care of that in a hurry.

73
00:05:20,938 --> 00:05:23,898
- Don't kill the messenger, Leo.
- Why not?

74
00:05:24,107 --> 00:05:25,942
- Five minutes?
- Please.

75
00:05:26,151 --> 00:05:27,402
- Emma.
- Morning.

76
00:05:27,610 --> 00:05:29,361
Wilson.
Joe.

77
00:05:29,570 --> 00:05:32,072
- Jeffrey.
- Whatever. Josh!

78
00:05:32,281 --> 00:05:33,741
- Morning, Leo.
- Donna.

79
00:05:33,949 --> 00:05:36,617
- Is he in yet?
- Yeah.

80
00:05:37,118 --> 00:05:38,870
Can you get him?

81
00:05:39,078 --> 00:05:41,079
- Josh!
- Thanks.

82
00:05:41,288 --> 00:05:43,290
- I heard it's broken.
- Wrong.

83
00:05:43,498 --> 00:05:45,792
It's a mild sprain.
He'll be back.

84
00:05:46,001 --> 00:05:49,295
- What caused it?
- You from State Farm?

85
00:05:49,503 --> 00:05:52,965
Go! Do a job.
He was swerving to avoid a tree.

86
00:05:53,174 --> 00:05:55,258
- And?
- He was unsuccessful.

87
00:05:55,467 --> 00:05:59,095
Just don't do anything
until you talk to Justice.

88
00:05:59,345 --> 00:06:02,473
How many Cubans are crammed
into these boats?

89
00:06:02,681 --> 00:06:05,767
By and large,
they're not boats.

90
00:06:05,975 --> 00:06:10,396
"Boats" conjures the image
of a boat, first of all.

91
00:06:10,605 --> 00:06:14,524
What the Cubans are on
are charitably described as rafts.

92
00:06:14,733 --> 00:06:17,777
They're coming from Havana
in fruit baskets.

93
00:06:17,986 --> 00:06:19,570
- Let's be clear.
- We are.

94
00:06:19,778 --> 00:06:21,864
If it floats, it looks good to them.

95
00:06:22,072 --> 00:06:24,532
- How many are there?
- We don't know.

96
00:06:24,741 --> 00:06:27,577
- What time did they leave?
- We don't know.

97
00:06:27,952 --> 00:06:29,579
- Know when they arrive?
- No.

98
00:06:30,038 --> 00:06:33,415
On high ground in Key West
with binoculars...

99
00:06:33,624 --> 00:06:35,626
...I'd be as informed as you.

100
00:06:35,834 --> 00:06:38,836
- True.
- Intelligence is money well spent.

101
00:06:39,045 --> 00:06:43,090
Tom sent the Coast Guard.
They won't make it to our waters!

102
00:06:43,298 --> 00:06:45,217
The DEA could suspect drugs.

103
00:06:45,425 --> 00:06:48,303
- Do they?
- I can make a phone call.

104
00:06:48,929 --> 00:06:51,430
If the DEA thought
they had drugs...

105
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,059
...wouldn't we have to search
those rafts with guns and blankets?

106
00:06:56,267 --> 00:06:58,686
You look like hell.
You know that?

107
00:06:58,895 --> 00:07:02,940
- I do. Listen, did he say anything?
- Did he say anything?

108
00:07:03,148 --> 00:07:06,193
The president's pissed at you
and so am I.

109
00:07:06,401 --> 00:07:10,112
We gotta work with these people.
Where do you get off...?

110
00:07:10,321 --> 00:07:13,199
- Al Caldwell's a good man.
- He wasn't there.

111
00:07:13,407 --> 00:07:16,034
You take the entire
Christian right...

112
00:07:16,243 --> 00:07:18,578
...and dump them
into one big pile.

113
00:07:18,787 --> 00:07:21,372
- We need them.
- We don't need them.

114
00:07:21,580 --> 00:07:23,958
We need Caldwell.
We want Caldwell.

115
00:07:24,166 --> 00:07:27,126
We don't need John Van Dyke
or Mary Marsh.

116
00:07:27,335 --> 00:07:31,339
And I think there shouldn't be
instant replay in football.

117
00:07:31,547 --> 00:07:33,590
- It was stupid.
- Damn straight.

118
00:07:33,882 --> 00:07:37,427
- I was right, though!
- Like I don't know that.

119
00:07:37,636 --> 00:07:41,472
Mr. McGarry, have they done an x-ray?
Is anything broken?

120
00:07:41,681 --> 00:07:46,309
A $4000 titanium touring bike that
I swore I'd never lend anyone.

121
00:07:46,518 --> 00:07:50,730
- I don't understand.
- He's a klutz! The president's a geek.

122
00:07:50,939 --> 00:07:54,149
You know how I feel about
that kind of talk.

123
00:07:54,358 --> 00:07:58,236
- I apologize.
- Just in this room, is all I'm asking.

124
00:07:58,444 --> 00:08:02,198
Call OEOB.
Set up a briefing for the VP.

125
00:08:02,407 --> 00:08:04,992
Coordinate with Katey Simons' office.

126
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,244
- Get everybody?
- Yes. Margaret?

127
00:08:07,452 --> 00:08:10,288
Call the editor
of <i>The Times '</i> crossword.

128
00:08:10,496 --> 00:08:13,416
Tell him "Khaddafi" has
one H and two D's.

129
00:08:13,624 --> 00:08:15,876
And it isn't a 7-letter word.

130
00:08:16,085 --> 00:08:19,546
- Is this real or is this funny?
- Neither.

131
00:08:19,754 --> 00:08:22,882
Can I say anything besides
"Rode into a tree"?

132
00:08:23,090 --> 00:08:25,801
- He'll never do it again.
- They'll laugh.

133
00:08:26,009 --> 00:08:28,137
He rode his bicycle into a tree.

134
00:08:28,345 --> 00:08:32,348
"The president,
while riding a bicycle on vacation...

135
00:08:32,557 --> 00:08:35,475
...came to a sudden arboreal stop. "

136
00:08:35,684 --> 00:08:38,145
Tell me about the Cubans.

137
00:08:38,353 --> 00:08:40,605
Between 1200 and 2000 Cubans...

138
00:08:40,814 --> 00:08:43,357
...from a village south of Havana.

139
00:08:43,566 --> 00:08:45,401
- Headed where?
- Vegas.

140
00:08:45,609 --> 00:08:51,823
- Miami. Their navigational equipment...
- Navigational? "That way is north. "

141
00:08:52,031 --> 00:08:56,452
- If one had a fast ball, we'd get them.
- That's not entirely true.

142
00:08:56,660 --> 00:09:00,371
Forget about the journey.
The voyage is not our problem.

143
00:09:00,580 --> 00:09:05,168
- What's our problem?
- What to do when they hit Miami.

144
00:09:06,002 --> 00:09:07,753
Can't send them back.

145
00:09:07,961 --> 00:09:10,589
- We'll get whacked.
- Three districts.

146
00:09:10,797 --> 00:09:13,799
- Those seats are gone.
- Plus, it's wrong.

147
00:09:14,008 --> 00:09:15,468
- Texas?
- Don't worry.

148
00:09:15,676 --> 00:09:17,761
Keep Josh in the loop on this.

149
00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:20,680
- Me? The thing is...
- Deal with it.

150
00:09:21,806 --> 00:09:26,560
I'm happy to. I'm just saying,
isn't this more of a military area?

151
00:09:28,687 --> 00:09:30,230
Military?

152
00:09:30,439 --> 00:09:33,149
We're under attack by
Cubans in rowboats?

153
00:09:33,357 --> 00:09:36,444
- I like our chances.
- How did we win an election?

154
00:09:36,652 --> 00:09:41,072
- Pat Thomas wants the Guard.
- You'll create a panic situation.

155
00:09:41,281 --> 00:09:46,702
I agree with Josh, C.J. and Sam.
You know that makes me crazy.

156
00:09:46,911 --> 00:09:49,997
They're on the run.
Don't play games.

157
00:09:50,205 --> 00:09:53,124
Send help,
don't send the National Guard.

158
00:09:53,333 --> 00:09:56,085
See that INS works with Red Cross
and CDC.

159
00:09:56,294 --> 00:09:58,629
- I got a guy in CDC.
- Talk to him.

160
00:10:00,339 --> 00:10:02,924
Moving on, let's talk about Josh.

161
00:10:03,508 --> 00:10:06,052
Al scares the president.
Josh knows.

162
00:10:06,260 --> 00:10:09,262
- He won't fire him.
- He has no choice.

163
00:10:09,471 --> 00:10:13,850
- He's not gonna fire Josh.
- He doesn't have a choice.

164
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,394
I had drinks with Sam Seaborn
last night.

165
00:10:17,603 --> 00:10:21,481
- And the president's firing Josh?
- He needs these people.

166
00:10:21,689 --> 00:10:23,399
Folks....

167
00:10:23,608 --> 00:10:26,319
- What if he...?
- He doesn't have a choice.

168
00:10:26,527 --> 00:10:28,528
Good morning.

169
00:10:28,737 --> 00:10:34,742
Dr. Randal Haymen,
chief of orthopedics at St. John's...

170
00:10:34,951 --> 00:10:37,870
...diagnosed the president
with a sprained ankle...

171
00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:41,456
...sustained while cycling
into a large tree.

172
00:10:42,374 --> 00:10:45,794
Details are in the report
being distributed...

173
00:10:46,002 --> 00:10:51,507
...with photos of the president
resisting help and falling down again.

174
00:10:51,715 --> 00:10:55,343
By all means, enjoy yourselves.
Item number two.

175
00:10:55,551 --> 00:10:58,346
C.J., has the president...?

176
00:10:58,554 --> 00:11:00,806
Let's just get through this.

177
00:11:01,014 --> 00:11:02,724
Item number two....

178
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:10,773
<i>None of your business. </i>
<i>If 38 states... </i>

179
00:11:10,982 --> 00:11:14,985
<i>You don't believe in any god</i>
<i>that I pray to, Mr. Lyman. </i>

180
00:11:15,193 --> 00:11:19,947
<i>The god you pray to is too busy</i>
<i>being indicted for tax fraud. </i>

181
00:11:20,447 --> 00:11:24,534
<i>You don't believe in any god</i>
<i>that I pray to, Mr. Lyman. </i>

182
00:11:24,742 --> 00:11:29,830
<i>The god you pray to is too busy</i>
<i>being indicted for tax fraud. </i>

183
00:11:34,501 --> 00:11:36,794
That tie bleeds on television.

184
00:11:37,044 --> 00:11:40,506
- The tie wasn't the problem.
- I told you.

185
00:11:40,715 --> 00:11:42,298
- What's that?
- Coffee.

186
00:11:42,507 --> 00:11:44,467
- I thought so.
- It's for you.

187
00:11:44,676 --> 00:11:47,262
- What's going on?
- Nothing. Coffee.

188
00:11:47,470 --> 00:11:49,805
Close the door.

189
00:11:54,017 --> 00:11:57,311
- When did you start working here?
- The campaign.

190
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,856
- How long ago?
- A year and a half.

191
00:12:00,106 --> 00:12:02,816
When's the last time
you brought coffee?

192
00:12:03,024 --> 00:12:05,277
You've never brought me coffee.

193
00:12:05,485 --> 00:12:09,071
- It isn't a big deal...
- If I get fired, I get fired.

194
00:12:09,947 --> 00:12:12,867
Do you think he's gonna do it?

195
00:12:13,075 --> 00:12:15,869
No.

196
00:12:16,077 --> 00:12:20,581
You won that election for him,
you and Leo and C.J. and Sam.

197
00:12:20,789 --> 00:12:24,209
- Open the damn door.
- And him.

198
00:12:29,130 --> 00:12:31,841
- Thanks for the coffee.
- You're welcome.

199
00:12:32,049 --> 00:12:34,885
- Donna brought you coffee?
- Shut up!

200
00:12:36,219 --> 00:12:38,429
What's up?

201
00:12:41,265 --> 00:12:42,933
What'd I say yesterday?

202
00:12:43,142 --> 00:12:46,436
- Don't get cute with Marsh.
- Don't get cute.

203
00:12:46,644 --> 00:12:50,356
I said don't treat Caldwell
like a revival tent clown.

204
00:12:50,565 --> 00:12:53,400
- Caldwell wasn't there.
- He was watching.

205
00:12:53,692 --> 00:12:55,486
What do you want from me?

206
00:12:55,694 --> 00:12:58,571
I want you to keep your job.

207
00:12:58,946 --> 00:13:02,283
- How?
- I have a suggestion...

208
00:13:02,783 --> 00:13:06,203
...but it's not an indication
that I like you.

209
00:13:06,453 --> 00:13:07,954
I understand.

210
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,502
For the Sunday morning radio address
on family values...

211
00:13:14,668 --> 00:13:16,753
- That's on the schedule?
- Wait.

212
00:13:17,420 --> 00:13:20,590
- It's a regular Sunday.
- When was it scheduled?

213
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:27,095
After your smug, taunting, calamitous
performance on <i>Capitol Beat</i>!

214
00:13:28,846 --> 00:13:32,934
America for Better Families,
Al Caldwell, Mary Marsh.

215
00:13:33,142 --> 00:13:37,103
I invited them for coffee
to talk about...

216
00:13:37,312 --> 00:13:39,606
- What they want to hear.
- Yes.

217
00:13:39,856 --> 00:13:42,441
Presidents are
rolling in their graves.

218
00:13:42,691 --> 00:13:45,277
- Come to the meeting and be nice.
- Why?

219
00:13:45,486 --> 00:13:48,696
- It'll look good.
- Caldwell's friends are bad.

220
00:13:48,905 --> 00:13:52,575
He should say so for the common good.
Screw politics.

221
00:13:52,867 --> 00:13:55,327
You don't run social policy!

222
00:13:55,577 --> 00:13:58,330
I'm in charge of the message
around here!

223
00:13:58,622 --> 00:14:02,792
The best thing the president can
do from a PR standpoint...

224
00:14:02,959 --> 00:14:06,044
...is to show you the door.

225
00:14:09,047 --> 00:14:14,301
Come to the meeting.
Be nice, keep your job.

226
00:14:18,763 --> 00:14:20,932
I'll be there.

227
00:14:22,892 --> 00:14:27,020
- Oh, take a look at this.
- What's that?

228
00:14:27,229 --> 00:14:31,190
A kid in the newsroom
clipped that this morning.

229
00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:34,026
Guess who's coming to town
to consult?

230
00:14:34,276 --> 00:14:38,905
- She's leasing offices downtown.
- Who's she working for?

231
00:14:39,072 --> 00:14:40,991
I'm checking it out.

232
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:53,918
That's a good picture of her.

233
00:15:02,967 --> 00:15:05,553
Bruce? Bruce!

234
00:15:05,761 --> 00:15:08,680
I just got back into the business...

235
00:15:08,888 --> 00:15:12,517
...but I didn't come
by way of a turnip truck.

236
00:15:12,726 --> 00:15:15,894
Yank me around,
and I'm gonna get cranky.

237
00:15:16,103 --> 00:15:20,065
Who's your source on 443?
Big fat byline above the fold?

238
00:15:20,274 --> 00:15:24,068
It's time we play
"What Have You Done For Me Lately?"

239
00:15:24,277 --> 00:15:28,864
Don't say you're gonna try.
This isn't gym class.

240
00:15:31,158 --> 00:15:35,119
I said gym class.
Gym class?

241
00:15:39,873 --> 00:15:43,126
Because it's important
in gym to try.

242
00:15:43,334 --> 00:15:45,836
It was a simple metaphor.

243
00:15:46,044 --> 00:15:48,797
You're misinterpreting me
and the senator.

244
00:15:48,964 --> 00:15:50,966
It's bush-league reporting.

245
00:15:51,175 --> 00:15:53,259
- You ran a red light.
- Hold on.

246
00:15:53,468 --> 00:15:55,428
Hustle me, I'll make you cry.

247
00:15:55,636 --> 00:15:57,846
- License, please.
- Just a second.

248
00:15:58,054 --> 00:15:59,639
Now, please.

249
00:15:59,848 --> 00:16:04,101
I'm under arrest.
I have to call you back.

250
00:16:05,644 --> 00:16:08,522
Two percent in the third quarter.

251
00:16:08,731 --> 00:16:12,400
The president's gonna check
the revenue analysis...

252
00:16:12,609 --> 00:16:17,738
...and say economists are here
to make astrologers look good.

253
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,325
Luther, one year from today,
where's the Dow?

254
00:16:21,575 --> 00:16:22,825
Great. Up 1000.

255
00:16:23,075 --> 00:16:25,578
- Fred? A year.
- Not good. Down 1000.

256
00:16:25,786 --> 00:16:28,914
In a year,
one of you will look stupid.

257
00:16:29,122 --> 00:16:32,042
- Can we go now?
- Go. Get out.

258
00:16:32,292 --> 00:16:34,878
We have storm systems
in south Florida.

259
00:16:35,045 --> 00:16:38,547
With any luck,
the Cubans will turn around.

260
00:16:38,797 --> 00:16:42,926
Think they're tuned
to the National Weather Service?

261
00:16:43,092 --> 00:16:44,135
What is it?

262
00:16:44,302 --> 00:16:47,222
- I think we're about to get tagged.
- What?

263
00:16:47,388 --> 00:16:49,097
- Re-election.
- Not yet.

264
00:16:49,348 --> 00:16:53,268
Don't let Russell push us around
on Medicare or missiles.

265
00:16:53,477 --> 00:16:57,104
- You're taking him too seriously.
- His stock is up.

266
00:16:57,271 --> 00:16:59,482
- Hollywood likes him.
- It'll wait.

267
00:16:59,690 --> 00:17:03,276
You're Lloyd Russell,
prince of white suburban women...

268
00:17:03,485 --> 00:17:06,403
...middle-class black men,
the Teachers' Union.

269
00:17:06,570 --> 00:17:08,322
What do you do?

270
00:17:08,530 --> 00:17:11,075
- Fund exploratory committees.
- Run by?

271
00:17:11,283 --> 00:17:13,159
- You.
- I already got a job.

272
00:17:13,368 --> 00:17:15,328
- For now.
- Then who?

273
00:17:15,536 --> 00:17:19,623
Mandy, if I could get her to leave
her job at Lennox/Chase.

274
00:17:19,831 --> 00:17:23,752
- You'd be smart.
- Think she'd be interested in his job?

275
00:17:23,961 --> 00:17:25,544
- Guess what?
- She here?

276
00:17:25,753 --> 00:17:27,255
- As of today.
- Why?

277
00:17:27,463 --> 00:17:30,049
Working for Lloyd Russell.

278
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:36,221
Margaret! Get me Senator Russell's
office on the phone!

279
00:17:36,638 --> 00:17:38,931
Same suit you wore yesterday?

280
00:17:39,139 --> 00:17:41,558
Yeah. You?

281
00:17:41,767 --> 00:17:44,060
Yeah.

282
00:17:49,065 --> 00:17:51,149
- I think it's him.
- It is.

283
00:17:51,358 --> 00:17:53,610
I'm going over there.

284
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,949
Sorry to interrupt.

285
00:18:00,157 --> 00:18:02,575
We're in a poli-sci group.

286
00:18:02,784 --> 00:18:06,037
You're excellent.
Could we have your autograph?

287
00:18:06,246 --> 00:18:09,081
Mandy Hampton.
She's excellent too.

288
00:18:09,289 --> 00:18:12,626
- From the campaign.
- You guys used to be a thing?

289
00:18:12,793 --> 00:18:13,836
- Jenn!
- Sorry.

290
00:18:14,086 --> 00:18:17,338
She stole money from me.
Thanks for stopping by.

291
00:18:17,588 --> 00:18:19,173
- Thanks.
- Thanks.

292
00:18:19,424 --> 00:18:21,174
See you.

293
00:18:21,383 --> 00:18:24,136
You want to know
if Lloyd's running.

294
00:18:24,302 --> 00:18:27,014
I don't care.
He's a lightweight.

295
00:18:27,180 --> 00:18:28,764
- Don't like him?
- No.

296
00:18:28,973 --> 00:18:33,060
- How will he be on the budget?
- You should get to know him.

297
00:18:33,227 --> 00:18:36,479
- I have enough friends.
- Not these days.

298
00:18:36,688 --> 00:18:42,818
- It's not like they were on our side.
- They've waited for you to trip up.

299
00:18:43,068 --> 00:18:47,029
It's Christmas morning for Mary Marsh.

300
00:18:48,322 --> 00:18:51,409
You're a Fulbright scholar.
Don't you think...

301
00:18:51,576 --> 00:18:54,453
...that you're about to be fired?

302
00:18:54,703 --> 00:18:57,873
Do what Toby's telling you to do.

303
00:18:58,956 --> 00:19:00,958
Did you call him Lloyd?

304
00:19:01,125 --> 00:19:02,585
- Who?
- Senator Russell.

305
00:19:02,752 --> 00:19:04,003
- When?
- Just now.

306
00:19:04,253 --> 00:19:07,338
"You want to know
if Lloyd is running. "

307
00:19:07,547 --> 00:19:11,133
Unusual, using his first name
to a third party.

308
00:19:11,341 --> 00:19:13,093
- Third party?
- Get my point?

309
00:19:13,302 --> 00:19:16,513
- No.
- You're dating Lloyd Russell.

310
00:19:19,098 --> 00:19:22,101
Yes.

311
00:19:22,310 --> 00:19:23,768
Wow. That's great.

312
00:19:24,019 --> 00:19:27,397
- Are you gonna freak out?
- No. Isn't he gay?

313
00:19:27,606 --> 00:19:29,399
- He's not gay.
- You sure?

314
00:19:29,607 --> 00:19:32,193
- Very sure.
- He seems effeminate.

315
00:19:32,443 --> 00:19:35,154
He's very athletic.
Plenty masculine.

316
00:19:35,362 --> 00:19:38,156
- He's a woman.
- Take me seriously.

317
00:19:38,364 --> 00:19:39,741
I do.

318
00:19:42,242 --> 00:19:44,620
<i>The Times</i> is releasing a poll...

319
00:19:44,828 --> 00:19:48,165
...that brings your unfavorables
up to 48%.

320
00:19:48,372 --> 00:19:50,958
- I hadn't heard.
- You will in an hour.

321
00:19:51,167 --> 00:19:53,503
- Says who?
- I'm not on your team.

322
00:19:53,753 --> 00:19:57,964
First you give advice,
now I'm not on your team?

323
00:19:58,173 --> 00:20:01,425
I want you at fighting weight
when we start.

324
00:20:09,265 --> 00:20:13,019
- You and Lloyd Russell?
- Yeah.

325
00:20:21,692 --> 00:20:23,402
Seventeen across.

326
00:20:23,611 --> 00:20:27,822
It's wrong.
You're spelling his name wrong.

327
00:20:28,782 --> 00:20:31,867
What's my name?
My name doesn't matter.

328
00:20:32,076 --> 00:20:36,997
I'm a citizen who relies on
<i>The Times '</i> crossword for stimulation.

329
00:20:37,206 --> 00:20:40,041
I've met the man twice.

330
00:20:40,250 --> 00:20:45,545
I've recommended a pre-emptive Exocet
missile strike against his air force...

331
00:20:45,754 --> 00:20:48,590
Leo.

332
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:51,884
- They hung up on me.
- That's hard to believe.

333
00:20:52,093 --> 00:20:54,679
- What is it?
- I need someone for...

334
00:20:54,887 --> 00:20:57,889
- Send Naomi. What else?
- Press leak on A3C3.

335
00:20:58,139 --> 00:21:03,018
That was Hutchinson. What else?
Please don't ask me about Josh.

336
00:21:03,227 --> 00:21:05,229
- I was asking...
- I don't know.

337
00:21:05,437 --> 00:21:07,856
You know the president
better than me.

338
00:21:08,107 --> 00:21:10,066
I've known him 40 years.

339
00:21:10,274 --> 00:21:16,029
Any given day, there's no predicting
what he'll choose to care about.

340
00:21:16,279 --> 00:21:18,615
I'm sorry. I'm late.

341
00:21:20,993 --> 00:21:23,619
The assault stats are wrong.

342
00:21:23,786 --> 00:21:25,746
They came from your office.

343
00:21:25,955 --> 00:21:30,750
- You still can't use them.
- Why can't I use them?

344
00:21:30,959 --> 00:21:34,712
- The 76-year-old grandma.
- Carr and Gilmore come back.

345
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,213
Who's the grandma?

346
00:21:36,422 --> 00:21:39,133
Every day, 17,000 Americans
fire a gun...

347
00:21:39,341 --> 00:21:40,591
That is untrue.

348
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,844
Including a 76-year-old...

349
00:21:43,052 --> 00:21:46,305
...who defended herself
against an intruder.

350
00:21:46,514 --> 00:21:50,225
A grandmother doesn't
defend herself with an AK-47...

351
00:21:50,434 --> 00:21:54,186
...unless she's defending herself
against Turkish rebels.

352
00:21:54,353 --> 00:21:57,481
- You know my assistant, Cathy.
- Hi.

353
00:21:57,648 --> 00:21:59,107
I need you a second.

354
00:21:59,315 --> 00:22:00,775
Call me tonight.

355
00:22:01,025 --> 00:22:04,696
- Leo's wife called.
- She hates me. What did I do?

356
00:22:04,904 --> 00:22:06,947
You hit on her at a party.

357
00:22:07,156 --> 00:22:10,117
- I meant, why did she call?
- She wants...

358
00:22:10,325 --> 00:22:13,453
For the last time,
I didn't know who she was!

359
00:22:13,661 --> 00:22:16,748
- Anyway...
- Most women would be flattered.

360
00:22:16,956 --> 00:22:19,416
- Leo was touched.
- What did she want?

361
00:22:19,624 --> 00:22:22,377
Her daughter's class
is getting a tour.

362
00:22:22,586 --> 00:22:24,628
She wants you to do it.

363
00:22:24,837 --> 00:22:26,881
- I can't.
- They wrote essays.

364
00:22:27,089 --> 00:22:30,341
I don't know anything
about the White House.

365
00:22:30,550 --> 00:22:35,972
- You want to tell her that?
- Let this be a national emergency.

366
00:22:42,810 --> 00:22:45,062
<i>-Cashmere Escorts. </i>
- You paged me.

367
00:22:45,271 --> 00:22:47,523
<i>-Who is this?</i>
- Sam Seaborn.

368
00:22:47,732 --> 00:22:49,816
<i>Sorry, there's been a mistake. </i>

369
00:22:50,025 --> 00:22:55,362
- Who's this?
<i>-Cashmere Escort Service. </i>

370
00:22:55,571 --> 00:22:58,407
- Okay. Page me.
- Where are you going?

371
00:22:58,657 --> 00:23:01,784
Nowhere.
Page me and punch in my number.

372
00:23:09,166 --> 00:23:14,128
- You switched pagers with someone?
- A woman's about to call me.

373
00:23:27,473 --> 00:23:30,226
<i>-You paged me?</i>
- Laurie.

374
00:23:30,601 --> 00:23:34,479
<i>-Who's this?</i>
- It's Sam. Sam Seaborn.

375
00:23:34,812 --> 00:23:39,191
<i>-You called me. </i>
- Actually, you called me.

376
00:23:39,524 --> 00:23:45,238
That's because you have my pager
and I have yours.

377
00:23:45,446 --> 00:23:48,157
<i>-Oh. </i>
- Yeah.

378
00:23:48,366 --> 00:23:51,618
Can I come by and see you real quick?

379
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,206
<i>-Yeah. </i>
- Thanks. Good.

380
00:23:57,915 --> 00:24:01,752
- Four column inches above the fold.
- You're wrong.

381
00:24:01,961 --> 00:24:04,671
I don't have time to answer questions.

382
00:24:04,879 --> 00:24:07,257
That won't stop you from asking.

383
00:24:07,465 --> 00:24:09,801
Has the president reacted to Josh?

384
00:24:10,008 --> 00:24:12,052
None that I'm aware of.

385
00:24:12,261 --> 00:24:15,347
I'll give you time when I've got it.

386
00:24:18,808 --> 00:24:21,811
- They picking up the scent?
- Billy is.

387
00:24:22,019 --> 00:24:25,981
- Josh is coming to the coffee.
- Keep him cool.

388
00:24:29,149 --> 00:24:33,696
The president's deeply religious.
I don't need to tell you.

389
00:24:33,904 --> 00:24:38,157
His work with the Baptists,
the Catholic League.

390
00:24:38,324 --> 00:24:39,409
And my church.

391
00:24:39,575 --> 00:24:43,662
He also spent months
traveling around the country...

392
00:24:43,870 --> 00:24:45,998
...discouraging abortion.

393
00:24:46,206 --> 00:24:47,873
Hang on. He never said...

394
00:24:48,082 --> 00:24:51,585
It's not the government's
place to legislate...

395
00:24:51,794 --> 00:24:55,296
...but he plays his role
as a moral leader.

396
00:24:55,505 --> 00:24:58,925
Something which cost him dearly
in the campaign.

397
00:24:59,092 --> 00:25:01,677
Why does he demonize us as a group?

398
00:25:01,844 --> 00:25:04,138
Your group has plenty of demons.

399
00:25:04,304 --> 00:25:06,097
Every group has demons.

400
00:25:06,305 --> 00:25:10,018
I know, I'm in the Democratic Party.

401
00:25:10,226 --> 00:25:13,770
Everyone in the Christian Right
isn't the same.

402
00:25:13,979 --> 00:25:17,858
When you stand that close
to Marsh and Van Dyke...

403
00:25:18,066 --> 00:25:20,860
...they paint you
with the same brush.

404
00:25:21,068 --> 00:25:23,195
I need them for muscle.

405
00:25:23,404 --> 00:25:26,448
No, you don't,
but you're in a tough spot.

406
00:25:26,656 --> 00:25:30,076
- I'm not looking for a holy war.
- I know, Al.

407
00:25:30,285 --> 00:25:34,705
We can keep this from escalating
beyond a woman being angry...

408
00:25:34,913 --> 00:25:37,373
...at getting her hair messed up.

409
00:25:37,582 --> 00:25:40,501
There you go.
It wasn't a little deal.

410
00:25:40,710 --> 00:25:43,171
You need to take me seriously.

411
00:25:43,378 --> 00:25:46,214
You don't think
we take this seriously?

412
00:25:46,423 --> 00:25:50,801
Yesterday, the president
ordered me to fire Josh Lyman.

413
00:25:51,010 --> 00:25:53,679
I'm trying to talk him out of it.

414
00:25:53,888 --> 00:25:58,349
He'll be here in 10 minutes.
Who knows if Josh still has a job?

415
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,770
How much more seriously
can we take it?

416
00:26:01,978 --> 00:26:05,606
- It's regrettable.
- Yes, it is.

417
00:26:05,814 --> 00:26:11,110
Anyway, I'm glad Toby organized
your meeting this afternoon.

418
00:26:11,986 --> 00:26:14,155
So am I.

419
00:26:25,706 --> 00:26:28,625
- Can I come in?
- Sure.

420
00:26:31,044 --> 00:26:34,421
- Nice apartment.
- You saw it last night.

421
00:26:34,588 --> 00:26:38,800
I really like it.
It makes very good use of space.

422
00:26:39,134 --> 00:26:41,260
The ladle on the pegboards.

423
00:26:41,469 --> 00:26:44,639
It didn't come with the apartment.
It's mine.

424
00:26:44,847 --> 00:26:47,516
- Right.
- Yes.

425
00:26:48,099 --> 00:26:49,809
- Can I ask...?
- Am I a hooker?

426
00:26:50,018 --> 00:26:52,228
What I was going to say is this:

427
00:26:52,436 --> 00:26:56,649
In addition to being a law student
and part-time bartender...

428
00:26:56,857 --> 00:27:01,986
...are you what I am certain would be
a very high-priced call girl?

429
00:27:03,363 --> 00:27:06,198
I make no judgments.
But with my job...

430
00:27:06,406 --> 00:27:08,450
Yeah.

431
00:27:10,369 --> 00:27:13,537
- Yes?
- Yes.

432
00:27:13,746 --> 00:27:16,582
I'm sorry. I should have told you.

433
00:27:16,790 --> 00:27:19,376
- I wanted you to like me.
- I do.

434
00:27:27,967 --> 00:27:29,384
I have to go.

435
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,851
My pager.

436
00:27:41,894 --> 00:27:43,729
Thanks.

437
00:27:43,938 --> 00:27:47,525
- I don't know how often you get up...
- Sam, go.

438
00:27:47,733 --> 00:27:51,027
You don't know who I am.

439
00:27:51,236 --> 00:27:53,947
There are people
who'd pay to try to...

440
00:27:54,154 --> 00:27:55,489
I know.

441
00:27:57,700 --> 00:28:00,868
Go. It's okay.

442
00:28:17,258 --> 00:28:21,386
Reverend Caldwell,
if you would step in here.

443
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:32,562
Excuse me. We'll be a minute.
Everyone have a seat.

444
00:28:32,770 --> 00:28:36,107
Everybody, nicely and quietly
take a seat.

445
00:28:36,357 --> 00:28:38,984
- Put it on.
- No!

446
00:28:39,192 --> 00:28:41,862
You've worn those clothes
for 31 hours.

447
00:28:42,070 --> 00:28:44,155
I'm not sprucing up for them.

448
00:28:44,363 --> 00:28:48,993
All the girls think you look
really hot in this shirt.

449
00:28:49,535 --> 00:28:52,412
Bonnie? Tell Toby
he's changing his shirt.

450
00:28:52,620 --> 00:28:54,289
Right.

451
00:28:55,874 --> 00:28:58,584
- You're late.
- I'm having a weird day.

452
00:28:58,792 --> 00:29:02,004
The class is waiting
in the Roosevelt Room.

453
00:29:02,212 --> 00:29:06,632
- I don't know what to say.
- Tell them about the building.

454
00:29:06,841 --> 00:29:08,718
I don't know about the building.

455
00:29:08,925 --> 00:29:11,887
- Fake it.
- I can't.

456
00:29:13,388 --> 00:29:17,016
Which one's Leo's daughter?
What does she look like?

457
00:29:17,224 --> 00:29:20,561
- I don't know.
- Thank you for all your help.

458
00:29:20,770 --> 00:29:23,229
Sure.

459
00:29:25,231 --> 00:29:29,151
- Sorry I'm late.
- Mr. Seaborn, Mallory O'Brian.

460
00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:31,236
These fourth-graders...

461
00:29:31,445 --> 00:29:34,363
...wrote essays
on visiting the White House.

462
00:29:34,572 --> 00:29:37,408
That's great.
Why don't we get started?

463
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:42,120
I'm Sam Seaborn,
the deputy communications director.

464
00:29:42,329 --> 00:29:46,457
What does that mean, exactly?
I'm a counselor to the president...

465
00:29:46,665 --> 00:29:50,294
...on domestic matters,
not security related.

466
00:29:50,503 --> 00:29:54,964
I work with the communications
director and press secretary...

467
00:29:55,131 --> 00:29:58,884
...to get our message out
through the media.

468
00:29:59,092 --> 00:30:02,804
While my role here is seen
as politically skewed...

469
00:30:03,013 --> 00:30:07,600
...remember, it's not the DNC,
but your taxes that pay my salary.

470
00:30:07,808 --> 00:30:11,561
So I work for you,
whether you voted for us or not.

471
00:30:17,359 --> 00:30:19,652
How about some history?

472
00:30:19,902 --> 00:30:24,572
Sure. I graduated law school
and started at Dewey Ballantine...

473
00:30:24,739 --> 00:30:28,284
Actually, I meant a history
of the building.

474
00:30:28,451 --> 00:30:29,993
- The White House?
- Yes.

475
00:30:30,202 --> 00:30:33,538
The White House was built
several years ago...

476
00:30:33,747 --> 00:30:36,832
...mostly, if I'm not mistaken,
out of cement.

477
00:30:37,041 --> 00:30:40,878
The room we're in,
the Roosevelt Room, is famous.

478
00:30:41,128 --> 00:30:46,591
It is named after our 18th president,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

479
00:30:46,841 --> 00:30:50,261
The chairs were made
from a pirate ship...

480
00:30:50,886 --> 00:30:52,471
...captured during the...

481
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:57,976
Kids, I need to talk with Mr. Seaborn.
Sit tight for a second.

482
00:31:06,316 --> 00:31:07,483
Hi.

483
00:31:07,650 --> 00:31:09,527
Are you a moron?

484
00:31:09,735 --> 00:31:13,364
- In this area, yes.
- The 18th president was Grant.

485
00:31:13,613 --> 00:31:15,865
This room was named for Theodore.

486
00:31:16,074 --> 00:31:20,536
- There's a painting of him in there.
- I should've figured it out.

487
00:31:20,744 --> 00:31:26,791
I can speak with authority on many
things, but not about the White House.

488
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,462
The deputy communications director
can't talk about the White House?

489
00:31:31,713 --> 00:31:33,964
- It's ironic.
- I don't believe it.

490
00:31:34,214 --> 00:31:38,759
Can you tell me which one of those
kids is Leo McGarry's daughter?

491
00:31:38,926 --> 00:31:42,638
- Why?
- If I make sure she's having fun...

492
00:31:42,847 --> 00:31:45,306
...it might make my life easier.

493
00:31:45,807 --> 00:31:48,226
These children worked hard.

494
00:31:48,435 --> 00:31:51,061
I don't want
to make your life easier.

495
00:31:51,311 --> 00:31:55,649
Please believe me when I say
I'm a nice guy having a bad day.

496
00:31:55,858 --> 00:32:02,405
<i>The Times</i> says many Americans feel
the White House is unfocused.

497
00:32:02,572 --> 00:32:06,450
There's footage of the president
riding into a tree.

498
00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:08,618
We're fishing for Cubans...

499
00:32:08,827 --> 00:32:12,079
...but the governor of Florida
wants a blockade.

500
00:32:12,288 --> 00:32:14,832
My friend is about to get fired.

501
00:32:15,082 --> 00:32:18,084
And I accidentally
slept with a prostitute.

502
00:32:18,293 --> 00:32:22,713
Please tell me which one of those kids
is my boss's daughter.

503
00:32:23,464 --> 00:32:25,758
That would be me.

504
00:32:26,925 --> 00:32:29,093
- You?
- Yes.

505
00:32:29,302 --> 00:32:34,474
Leo's daughter's fourth-grade class.

506
00:32:34,681 --> 00:32:38,268
This is bad on so many levels.

507
00:32:45,524 --> 00:32:47,942
She'll try and bait you.

508
00:32:48,151 --> 00:32:51,738
- Lloyd Russell. That'll last.
- Listen to me.

509
00:32:51,946 --> 00:32:55,240
- They want you to sound arrogant.
- That's easy.

510
00:32:55,449 --> 00:32:58,911
We apologize.
We're running a bit late today.

511
00:32:59,119 --> 00:33:00,661
Good afternoon.

512
00:33:00,870 --> 00:33:03,956
- How's the president?
- Mild sprain. He's fine.

513
00:33:04,165 --> 00:33:05,665
John Van Dyke.

514
00:33:05,874 --> 00:33:07,751
Everybody, sit.

515
00:33:07,959 --> 00:33:10,420
I'm happy you could be here today.

516
00:33:10,629 --> 00:33:14,340
The president makes
a usual Sunday radio address.

517
00:33:14,548 --> 00:33:18,176
- In a few weeks, he's...
- If I could interrupt.

518
00:33:19,052 --> 00:33:23,056
Christian and family-oriented
organizations...

519
00:33:23,264 --> 00:33:26,058
...while embraced by many Americans...

520
00:33:26,266 --> 00:33:30,437
...have been met with hostility
by their government.

521
00:33:30,645 --> 00:33:34,524
Yesterday morning
on a television program...

522
00:33:34,774 --> 00:33:39,694
...that contempt was given a voice
and a face and a name.

523
00:33:39,903 --> 00:33:43,197
- I'm referring to you.
- Glad you brought it up.

524
00:33:43,447 --> 00:33:46,408
I'm surprised.
I counted you as a friend.

525
00:33:46,617 --> 00:33:48,535
And I'm honored by that.

526
00:33:48,744 --> 00:33:51,579
When I spoke
on the program yesterday...

527
00:33:51,829 --> 00:33:55,707
...I didn't speak for the president.
That's important.

528
00:33:55,874 --> 00:33:58,085
Please allow me to apologize.

529
00:33:58,293 --> 00:34:02,380
My remarks were insulting.
I went for a cheap laugh.

530
00:34:02,588 --> 00:34:07,843
Anybody willing to debate ideas
deserves more than a punch line.

531
00:34:08,218 --> 00:34:10,470
Mary, I apologize.

532
00:34:12,472 --> 00:34:14,723
Good, then.

533
00:34:15,182 --> 00:34:17,184
Let's deal.

534
00:34:19,436 --> 00:34:21,271
- I'm sorry?
- What do we get?

535
00:34:21,729 --> 00:34:24,190
- For what?
- Insulting millions.

536
00:34:24,357 --> 00:34:28,068
- Like Josh said...
- I heard. What do we get?

537
00:34:29,152 --> 00:34:31,280
- An apology.
- Sunday's address.

538
00:34:31,530 --> 00:34:33,864
School prayer or pornography.
Pick.

539
00:34:34,031 --> 00:34:37,076
- School prayer or porn?
- On every corner.

540
00:34:37,326 --> 00:34:39,536
- I know.
- Condoms in the schools.

541
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:41,579
- What?
- Condoms in schools.

542
00:34:41,830 --> 00:34:44,249
- That's a problem.
- What?

543
00:34:44,416 --> 00:34:48,544
They reduce the risk
of teen pregnancy and AIDS.

544
00:34:48,752 --> 00:34:50,004
So does abstinence.

545
00:34:50,170 --> 00:34:53,256
A teenager sees a condom,
he turns to lust.

546
00:34:53,464 --> 00:34:55,758
Show him a lug wrench, and he...

547
00:34:55,967 --> 00:35:00,554
School prayer, pornography, condoms.
What's it gonna be?

548
00:35:03,098 --> 00:35:06,058
We're not prepared to make a deal
right now.

549
00:35:06,267 --> 00:35:07,727
Sure we are. Mary...

550
00:35:07,935 --> 00:35:11,563
You're cleaning out your desk
at the end of the day.

551
00:35:11,771 --> 00:35:15,316
I'll negotiate with Toby,
if it's all the same.

552
00:35:15,525 --> 00:35:20,029
It was only a matter of time.
That New York sense of humor...

553
00:35:20,946 --> 00:35:23,031
They think they're smarter.

554
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,158
But nobody else does.

555
00:35:25,366 --> 00:35:28,911
I'm actually from Connecticut.
But the point is...

556
00:35:29,286 --> 00:35:30,996
She meant Jewish.

557
00:35:35,458 --> 00:35:38,169
"New York sense of humor. "

558
00:35:38,377 --> 00:35:43,006
- She meant you and me.
- Let's not even go there.

559
00:35:44,758 --> 00:35:48,218
There's been an apology.
Let's move on.

560
00:35:49,178 --> 00:35:54,056
I want to know why we hear so much
about amendments...

561
00:35:54,265 --> 00:35:56,100
...but not the Commandments.

562
00:35:56,350 --> 00:36:00,145
- I don't like what I'm accused of.
- That's tough.

563
00:36:00,353 --> 00:36:02,939
First Commandment is,
"Honor thy father. "

564
00:36:03,106 --> 00:36:07,693
No, it isn't. If we're going through
this preposterous exercise...

565
00:36:07,902 --> 00:36:11,030
...we're gonna get
the Commandments right!

566
00:36:11,238 --> 00:36:13,239
It's the third commandment.

567
00:36:13,490 --> 00:36:16,576
- And the first?
- "I am the Lord your God.

568
00:36:16,743 --> 00:36:20,245
Thou shalt worship
no other god before me. "

569
00:36:20,454 --> 00:36:21,914
Those were the days.

570
00:36:22,122 --> 00:36:24,500
- Good afternoon, Mr. President.
- Al.

571
00:36:24,708 --> 00:36:29,337
- What do you got here, C.J.?
- We've got some hot tempers.

572
00:36:29,587 --> 00:36:32,839
- I'm John Van Dyke.
- Yes. Reverend?

573
00:36:33,048 --> 00:36:35,008
May I ask you a question?

574
00:36:35,217 --> 00:36:39,428
If children can buy pornography
anywhere for $5...

575
00:36:39,637 --> 00:36:43,890
...isn't that too high a price
to pay for free speech?

576
00:36:44,182 --> 00:36:46,267
- Really?
- However...

577
00:36:46,476 --> 00:36:50,145
...I do think $5 is too high a price
for pornography.

578
00:36:50,687 --> 00:36:52,773
- Why don't we sit down?
- No.

579
00:36:52,981 --> 00:36:57,401
They won't be staying long.
Some coffee, Mr. Lewis?

580
00:36:57,818 --> 00:37:01,656
I've asked you to denounce the
practices of a group...

581
00:37:01,864 --> 00:37:04,241
...called the "Lambs of God. "

582
00:37:04,449 --> 00:37:08,328
- It's not up to me.
- Crap. It is up to you.

583
00:37:08,702 --> 00:37:12,373
My wife never wants me
to do anything while I'm upset.

584
00:37:12,581 --> 00:37:14,083
Thank you, Mr. Lewis.

585
00:37:14,291 --> 00:37:18,044
Years ago,
I came home from a very bad day.

586
00:37:18,211 --> 00:37:20,088
I say I'm going for a drive.

587
00:37:20,296 --> 00:37:24,466
I get in the car, put it in reverse,
and pull out full speed.

588
00:37:24,675 --> 00:37:28,135
But I forgot to open the garage door.

589
00:37:30,304 --> 00:37:33,516
Abbey said not to drive angry.
She was right.

590
00:37:33,723 --> 00:37:39,229
She said not to get on that bicycle
while I was upset, but I did.

591
00:37:39,437 --> 00:37:42,398
I was about as angry
as I've ever been.

592
00:37:42,606 --> 00:37:47,110
Seems my granddaughter had given
an interview in a teen magazine.

593
00:37:47,277 --> 00:37:50,488
Between movie stars and makeup...

594
00:37:50,738 --> 00:37:53,865
...she talked about
a woman's right to choose.

595
00:37:54,074 --> 00:37:57,744
Annie, all of 12,
has always been precocious.

596
00:37:57,995 --> 00:38:00,579
She's got a good head
on her shoulders.

597
00:38:00,788 --> 00:38:06,167
Her mother called me in tears.
I said, "Elizabeth, what's wrong?"

598
00:38:06,376 --> 00:38:08,294
She said, "It's Annie. "

599
00:38:09,212 --> 00:38:15,092
I love my family, I've read my Bible
cover to cover, so you tell me:

600
00:38:15,342 --> 00:38:20,805
From what part of Scripture did the
Lambs of God draw their inspiration...

601
00:38:20,972 --> 00:38:24,516
...when they sent
my granddaughter a doll...

602
00:38:24,683 --> 00:38:27,936
...with a knife
stuck through its throat?

603
00:38:32,732 --> 00:38:35,276
You'll denounce
these people publicly.

604
00:38:35,484 --> 00:38:40,363
Until you do, you can all get
your fat asses out of my White House.

605
00:38:40,613 --> 00:38:42,573
Show these people out.

606
00:38:43,449 --> 00:38:47,494
- I believe we can find the door.
- Find it now.

607
00:38:58,378 --> 00:39:01,839
- We'll fix this, Leo.
- See that you do.

608
00:39:03,841 --> 00:39:07,802
- I was the calmest person in the room.
- Way to stay cool.

609
00:39:08,011 --> 00:39:11,097
I won't auction off
the Bill of Rights.

610
00:39:11,264 --> 00:39:12,474
You almost hit her.

611
00:39:12,682 --> 00:39:16,602
- She called us New York Jews.
- I'm from Connecticut.

612
00:39:16,769 --> 00:39:18,729
You, C.J., were brilliant.

613
00:39:18,937 --> 00:39:22,273
I liked the part
where you said nothing at all.

614
00:39:22,482 --> 00:39:26,318
All I could think about was
Russell and your girlfriend.

615
00:39:26,526 --> 00:39:29,571
- Mandy and Lloyd Russell?
- "Hello, Mr. President!

616
00:39:29,821 --> 00:39:34,492
Did you have a nice trip, sir?
How's the ankle, sir?"

617
00:39:34,700 --> 00:39:40,330
We've been taking a little break,
thinking about our personal lives...

618
00:39:40,580 --> 00:39:43,333
...or thinking about keeping our jobs.

619
00:39:43,583 --> 00:39:48,337
It's not a bad idea to take a break
every now and then.

620
00:39:48,545 --> 00:39:51,881
I know how hard you all work.

621
00:39:53,799 --> 00:39:58,011
One time Annie came to me
with this press clipping.

622
00:39:58,220 --> 00:40:01,556
Some theologians in South America
were excited...

623
00:40:01,765 --> 00:40:05,351
...because a little girl in Chile
sliced a tomato...

624
00:40:05,601 --> 00:40:10,396
...and the inside flesh had actually
formed a perfect rosary.

625
00:40:10,563 --> 00:40:14,484
The theologians thought this was
a very impressive girl.

626
00:40:15,068 --> 00:40:19,530
Annie commented that she thought
it was a very impressive tomato.

627
00:40:20,197 --> 00:40:22,698
Don't know why I thought of that.

628
00:40:22,865 --> 00:40:27,870
Intelligence reports
1200 Cubans left Havana this morning.

629
00:40:28,078 --> 00:40:31,289
Approximately 700 turned back
due to weather.

630
00:40:31,539 --> 00:40:34,667
Some 350 are missing
and presumed dead.

631
00:40:34,833 --> 00:40:41,547
137 have been taken into custody
in Miami and are seeking asylum.

632
00:40:41,923 --> 00:40:45,343
They came through a storm.

633
00:40:45,510 --> 00:40:51,306
The ones that didn't die want a better
life, and they want it here.

634
00:40:51,848 --> 00:40:54,392
Talk about impressive.

635
00:40:54,892 --> 00:40:58,145
My point is this:
Break's over.

636
00:40:59,229 --> 00:41:02,857
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Thank you, sir.

637
00:41:11,864 --> 00:41:15,827
"Too busy being indicted
for tax fraud"?

638
00:41:18,078 --> 00:41:20,831
Don't ever do it again.

639
00:41:21,039 --> 00:41:23,041
Yes, sir.

640
00:41:29,130 --> 00:41:32,298
Mrs. Landingham, what's next?

641
00:41:32,882 --> 00:41:36,635
Thomas and the majority leader
would like a conference.

642
00:41:36,844 --> 00:41:39,430
A group's assembling for a photo op.

643
00:41:39,638 --> 00:41:42,349
At 7:00, you have cocktails....
