1
00:00:06,247 --> 00:00:08,556
Good evening. On December 16th...
2
00:00:08,727 --> 00:00:11,366
...we lost our dear friend
and colleague, John Spencer.
3
00:00:11,527 --> 00:00:12,926
Through our shock and grief...
4
00:00:13,087 --> 00:00:16,204
...we can think of no more fitting
memorial to this wonderful man...
5
00:00:16,367 --> 00:00:19,723
...this extraordinary actor, than
to share with you, beginning tonight...
6
00:00:19,887 --> 00:00:22,720
...the last few months of his work
here on The West Wing.
7
00:00:22,887 --> 00:00:27,642
Johnny, it seems we hardly knew you.
We love you and we miss you.
8
00:00:27,807 --> 00:00:29,399
Previously on The West Wing:
9
00:00:29,567 --> 00:00:31,478
You're looking at the next
vice president.
10
00:00:31,647 --> 00:00:34,923
Or the next front-runner for the
Republican nomination for president.
11
00:00:35,127 --> 00:00:36,640
- Do you own a tux?
- Excuse me?
12
00:00:36,807 --> 00:00:40,482
I mean, I was just gonna go stag,
but if you're not busy later.
13
00:00:40,687 --> 00:00:42,325
There's been an incident
in Kazakhstan.
14
00:00:42,527 --> 00:00:45,837
The protests in Alma-Ata turned violent
and Tarimov sent in police.
15
00:00:46,047 --> 00:00:49,084
- Any casualties?
- Could be up to 200, many Chinese.
16
00:00:49,247 --> 00:00:51,556
- What's this?
- That's Leo's approval rating.
17
00:00:51,727 --> 00:00:54,161
Don't worry. It's not like
he's a drag on the ticket.
18
00:00:54,327 --> 00:00:57,717
I've been at this a while.
I don't need babysitting.
19
00:00:57,927 --> 00:00:59,758
Just because you've trained
a jockey...
20
00:00:59,927 --> 00:01:02,236
...doesn't mean you know
how to sit a horse.
21
00:01:02,447 --> 00:01:04,244
- So how are you?
- Indicted. You?
22
00:01:10,847 --> 00:01:13,998
Health care in this country's a mess.
Wait.
23
00:01:15,367 --> 00:01:17,517
It's "health care is broken."
"Mess" is better.
24
00:01:17,687 --> 00:01:21,157
"Broken" is what we have a line for,
but we should work the word "mess" in.
25
00:01:21,327 --> 00:01:23,204
Let's start again.
26
00:01:23,407 --> 00:01:26,444
Health care's a mess.
The system is broken. "Broke"?
27
00:01:26,647 --> 00:01:29,161
- "Broken." it's what they agreed on.
- I'm sorry.
28
00:01:29,367 --> 00:01:31,198
- No, no.
- Sorry.
29
00:01:31,407 --> 00:01:34,126
- What'd you say?
- "Broken." Sets up the bite better.
30
00:01:34,967 --> 00:01:37,481
Health care in this country is broken.
31
00:01:37,647 --> 00:01:40,480
And the Republican Congress'
attitude is...
32
00:01:40,687 --> 00:01:43,121
"Seems to be"? "Is."
"Is" is stronger.
33
00:01:43,327 --> 00:01:45,966
The Republican Congress...
34
00:01:46,567 --> 00:01:48,000
"Congressional Republicans"?
35
00:01:48,207 --> 00:01:52,325
The Republican Congress' attitude is,
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
36
00:01:54,247 --> 00:01:57,239
"Is broke." I can't believe.
I screwed it up.
37
00:01:57,767 --> 00:02:00,156
- Idiot! I screwed the line up.
- Leo, it's all right.
38
00:02:00,327 --> 00:02:03,319
The Republican Congress' attitude
seems to be...
39
00:02:04,447 --> 00:02:06,119
"Is."
40
00:02:09,087 --> 00:02:13,046
The Republican Congress' attitude is,
"If it is broke, don't fix it."
41
00:02:13,207 --> 00:02:15,357
- No, wait.
- No, that's it.
42
00:02:15,527 --> 00:02:17,279
- Didn't sound right.
- That's the line.
43
00:02:17,447 --> 00:02:19,039
- Yeah?
- That was it.
44
00:02:19,207 --> 00:02:20,845
Really?
45
00:02:22,487 --> 00:02:25,445
Hallelujah. Anybody got a cigarette?
46
00:02:25,607 --> 00:02:27,165
- We just started.
- I know.
47
00:02:27,327 --> 00:02:29,761
I'd like to smoke it,
then have someone shoot me.
48
00:02:29,927 --> 00:02:32,316
- I'm sorry.
- No, it's fine. That's what this is for.
49
00:02:32,487 --> 00:02:35,160
- Let's keep going.
- Governor Sullivan, your response.
50
00:02:35,327 --> 00:02:37,716
Mr. McGarry keeps falling back
on the same trick.
51
00:02:37,887 --> 00:02:39,798
When it's something good
that's happened...
52
00:02:39,967 --> 00:02:41,958
...he touts his service
in the White House.
53
00:02:42,127 --> 00:02:45,802
When it's something he disapproves of,
he lays the blame on the Congress.
54
00:02:46,007 --> 00:02:48,760
Now I submit that if
the health-care system is broken...
55
00:02:48,927 --> 00:02:50,440
...it happened on his watch.
56
00:02:50,607 --> 00:02:54,395
If your repairman can't fix something
after eight years of trying...
57
00:02:54,567 --> 00:02:58,719
...I think the American people realize
it's time to try someone else.
58
00:02:59,607 --> 00:03:01,006
Mr. McGarry?
59
00:03:02,287 --> 00:03:05,484
- Mr. McGarry?
- I need...
60
00:03:05,687 --> 00:03:08,281
Boy, that's a good answer.
I'm gonna need...
61
00:03:08,487 --> 00:03:11,047
This broke thing's a trap, isn't it?
62
00:03:11,207 --> 00:03:13,516
I'm just leading...
I'm leading with my chin here.
63
00:03:13,687 --> 00:03:17,566
These canned... These pre-canned...
64
00:03:19,407 --> 00:03:21,238
Can we take a break?
65
00:03:22,807 --> 00:03:27,198
Yeah, Josh.
About the VP debate Sunday...
66
00:03:27,367 --> 00:03:29,676
...we may have a problem.
67
00:04:15,327 --> 00:04:18,239
He understands it's his last trip home
till the election, right?
68
00:04:18,407 --> 00:04:20,477
- No idea, does he?
- Let me put it another way.
69
00:04:20,647 --> 00:04:23,559
- Tell him this is his last trip home.
- You didn't tell him?
70
00:04:23,727 --> 00:04:25,604
- Not in so many words.
- In any words?
71
00:04:25,767 --> 00:04:28,759
- Tell me what?
- Josh says this is your last trip home.
72
00:04:28,967 --> 00:04:30,241
- Donna!
- What?
73
00:04:30,447 --> 00:04:32,756
Some deftness. A little finesse.
74
00:04:32,967 --> 00:04:34,366
- I know.
- He knows.
75
00:04:34,527 --> 00:04:36,518
- That's not the point.
- Tell Josh to chill.
76
00:04:36,727 --> 00:04:38,922
- Josh, chill.
- Did you just tell me to chill?
77
00:04:39,127 --> 00:04:42,164
- It would appear so.
- Is it not clear that I'm your boss?
78
00:04:42,327 --> 00:04:44,238
Congressman 's recommendation.
79
00:04:44,447 --> 00:04:47,564
- Which I heartily concur.
- I don't think you'd tell me to chill.
80
00:04:47,767 --> 00:04:49,644
I wanted to scream it for eight years.
81
00:04:49,807 --> 00:04:52,401
Whatever inhibition prevented you,
summon it.
82
00:04:52,567 --> 00:04:54,000
- It's here.
- I gotta go.
83
00:04:54,567 --> 00:04:56,285
- How does Lou look?
- Like always.
84
00:04:56,487 --> 00:04:59,957
- Be butch on me, but Lou makes it work.
- Does she look happy? Worried?
85
00:05:00,127 --> 00:05:02,357
- "Stricken" might be the word.
- Hyperbole, right?
86
00:05:02,527 --> 00:05:04,722
Your predilection
for panic and exaggeration?
87
00:05:04,887 --> 00:05:06,366
I don't have a predilection...
88
00:05:06,527 --> 00:05:09,087
For this moment,
let's stipulate that you do.
89
00:05:10,767 --> 00:05:14,999
- Is it really that bad?
- No. It's worse.
90
00:05:17,487 --> 00:05:20,365
Why won 't you and Congressman Santos
pledge not to raise taxes?
91
00:05:20,527 --> 00:05:25,123
- Because it's a lie.
- Is my opponent calling us liars?
92
00:05:25,287 --> 00:05:28,563
The American people want the services
government provides.
93
00:05:28,767 --> 00:05:31,327
They cost money
and have to be paid for.
94
00:05:31,487 --> 00:05:33,523
We're running unacceptable deficits
as it is.
95
00:05:33,687 --> 00:05:36,724
- He gets better, yes?
- This is the high-water mark.
96
00:05:36,887 --> 00:05:38,320
Switch it off.
97
00:05:38,527 --> 00:05:41,724
It's irresponsible to tell voters they can
get something for nothing.
98
00:05:44,847 --> 00:05:45,836
What?
99
00:05:46,007 --> 00:05:48,077
Sullivan's a killer.
He did what he had to do.
100
00:05:48,287 --> 00:05:51,962
- The rest of it's really that bad?
- Watch it.
101
00:05:52,167 --> 00:05:54,727
- Can you fix it?
- Have to. The debate's in two days.
102
00:05:54,887 --> 00:05:56,798
Anybody who breathes
a word of this...
103
00:05:56,967 --> 00:05:59,925
...I will devise a punishment
that would make Torquemada blanch.
104
00:06:00,127 --> 00:06:02,243
- Why not leak it?
- Play the expectations game.
105
00:06:02,407 --> 00:06:05,763
That doesn't work when you lower
expectations and your guy meets them.
106
00:06:06,767 --> 00:06:09,998
Yeah? Yeah.
107
00:06:10,607 --> 00:06:11,960
It's Leo, line two.
108
00:06:20,687 --> 00:06:22,643
- Hey.
- Hey.
109
00:06:22,887 --> 00:06:24,957
- So?
- I never got to see it.
110
00:06:25,367 --> 00:06:28,120
The machine ate the tape.
111
00:06:28,687 --> 00:06:32,157
- You didn't see any of it?
- No. The damn thing just fried.
112
00:06:32,367 --> 00:06:35,404
Smoke and everything.
It was gonna set off the sprinklers.
113
00:06:35,567 --> 00:06:37,842
That's the only copy?
I'd love to review it.
114
00:06:38,047 --> 00:06:41,244
- Yeah, it's the only copy.
- That's too bad.
115
00:06:42,487 --> 00:06:46,082
- So, what was the report?
- It was good.
116
00:06:46,247 --> 00:06:48,886
You know, some bumps in spots.
117
00:06:49,047 --> 00:06:52,278
Things to work on.
That's what debate prep is for.
118
00:06:52,487 --> 00:06:55,206
- We'll fine-tune tomorrow.
- Yeah.
119
00:06:55,367 --> 00:06:56,720
Get some rest.
120
00:06:56,887 --> 00:06:59,321
Need you to look pretty
for 20 million TV viewers.
121
00:06:59,527 --> 00:07:01,916
If that's what we're counting on,
campaign's doomed.
122
00:07:02,127 --> 00:07:03,799
See you tomorrow.
123
00:07:33,487 --> 00:07:35,159
Let them set up. We want pictures.
124
00:07:35,327 --> 00:07:38,637
- "The candidate's return."
- Reconnecting to his photogenic family.
125
00:07:38,807 --> 00:07:42,038
Because God forbid any normal human
behavior should go unpoliticized.
126
00:07:42,247 --> 00:07:44,203
Vinick's kids are
approaching menopause.
127
00:07:44,367 --> 00:07:46,801
We wanna get some footage
of your young children...
128
00:07:46,967 --> 00:07:49,527
...hugging their hale and vital dad.
129
00:07:50,127 --> 00:07:52,561
- "Vital."
- A subliminal reminder that actuarially...
130
00:07:52,727 --> 00:07:55,605
...you're less likely to keel over
than your esteemed opponent.
131
00:07:55,807 --> 00:07:58,685
- They're set.
- On the lawn. Makes a prettier picture.
132
00:08:06,367 --> 00:08:09,484
Hey! Hey, how you doing?
How you doing, buddy?
133
00:08:09,647 --> 00:08:12,445
- What's happening?
- Take it easy. He's not feeling well.
134
00:08:12,607 --> 00:08:14,962
- Oh, really? What's wrong, buddy?
- Got a cold.
135
00:08:15,127 --> 00:08:17,436
- Oh, thank you for that gift.
- Oh, sweetheart.
136
00:08:17,607 --> 00:08:19,438
- Hey, sweetie.
- Welcome home, Daddy.
137
00:08:19,607 --> 00:08:22,167
Oh, thank you, angel.
It's good to be home.
138
00:08:22,367 --> 00:08:24,642
- My throat's scratchy.
- Okay.
139
00:08:24,807 --> 00:08:26,081
- Hi.
- How are you?
140
00:08:26,287 --> 00:08:28,437
A touch of Ebola,
but I think I'm over it.
141
00:08:28,647 --> 00:08:32,196
- Okay. Hi, guys. How's it going?
- Hi.
142
00:08:32,887 --> 00:08:34,718
They're looking over their shoulder.
143
00:08:34,927 --> 00:08:39,125
Yeah, we've got movement in Illinois,
solidifying nicely in New Jersey.
144
00:08:39,287 --> 00:08:42,165
- Trending well in Florida.
- Mention Illinois.
145
00:08:42,687 --> 00:08:45,360
Thing is definitely tightening up.
146
00:08:45,807 --> 00:08:49,595
Yeah, well, fortunately there's nothing
less impactful than the VP debate.
147
00:08:49,767 --> 00:08:53,316
I shouldn't hurt us too bad.
Okay, Bob. Talk to you soon.
148
00:08:53,927 --> 00:08:56,361
When I was in business,
all we talked was politics.
149
00:08:56,527 --> 00:08:58,916
Now that I'm running for office,
all I talk is money.
150
00:08:59,087 --> 00:09:01,601
- Shake some loose?
- We'll see.
151
00:09:03,647 --> 00:09:07,196
- So? How'd I do?
- The mock debate?
152
00:09:07,367 --> 00:09:10,086
I don't think I have the standing
to critique the substance.
153
00:09:10,247 --> 00:09:13,125
Artful dodge. Uncharacteristic...
154
00:09:13,327 --> 00:09:17,479
...your usual conversational mode
tending more toward blunt instrument.
155
00:09:17,647 --> 00:09:20,081
- On style, then.
- Oh, that was horrible.
156
00:09:20,287 --> 00:09:22,562
- There's the cudgel.
- We can relax your posture...
157
00:09:22,767 --> 00:09:26,157
...relocate the voice, corral that fidgeting
and knock some years off.
158
00:09:26,327 --> 00:09:27,680
Not again with the Botox.
159
00:09:27,847 --> 00:09:29,644
Hair-and-makeup room,
man's best friend.
160
00:09:29,807 --> 00:09:32,526
- Plan to spend time there.
- It's a hair-and-makeup room...
161
00:09:32,687 --> 00:09:35,406
...it's not a time machine.
- None of this is your problem.
162
00:09:35,567 --> 00:09:37,842
You're gonna tell me what is.
163
00:09:38,007 --> 00:09:40,396
- Your smirk.
- My what?
164
00:09:40,607 --> 00:09:42,837
- Yeah, you're doing it now.
- No, I'm not.
165
00:09:43,007 --> 00:09:46,602
- It's your default expression, Leo.
- What are you talk...?
166
00:09:47,727 --> 00:09:52,721
That's a scowl. I'm scowling,
which is, in itself, probably not great.
167
00:09:54,487 --> 00:09:58,719
- That's the way my mouth forms.
- From decades of smirking.
168
00:09:58,887 --> 00:10:02,675
In the right context, extremely effective.
Commanding, reassuring...
169
00:10:02,847 --> 00:10:04,644
...even devastatingly sexy.
- Sexy?
170
00:10:04,807 --> 00:10:06,525
In the right context. In a debate...
171
00:10:06,687 --> 00:10:10,077
...under the best of circumstances,
it reads as smug and condescending.
172
00:10:10,247 --> 00:10:13,000
In a context where you're getting
waxed by your opponent...
173
00:10:13,167 --> 00:10:17,604
...it comes off as clueless, defensive
and not a little pathetic.
174
00:10:17,807 --> 00:10:20,241
You seem to have graduated
from cudgel to bludgeon.
175
00:10:20,407 --> 00:10:22,318
- But we're gonna fix it.
- Are we?
176
00:10:26,087 --> 00:10:27,884
- Now you're scowling again.
- Wonder why.
177
00:10:28,047 --> 00:10:29,719
"Mr. McGarry, can you explain why...
178
00:10:29,887 --> 00:10:32,162
...after eight years
of the Bartlet presidency...
179
00:10:32,327 --> 00:10:34,682
...health-care costs have exploded?"
- Three words:
180
00:10:34,847 --> 00:10:36,485
The Republican Congress.
181
00:10:36,927 --> 00:10:40,920
Now, that calls for a little smirk
as underlining, punctuation...
182
00:10:41,087 --> 00:10:43,647
It depends. Wanna come off
as wise or wiseass?
183
00:10:43,847 --> 00:10:45,166
- I wasn't done.
- Finish.
184
00:10:46,647 --> 00:10:48,638
Give the Santos-McGarry
administration...
185
00:10:48,807 --> 00:10:52,880
The whole thing. "Why has the cost of
health care exploded under Bartlet?" Go.
186
00:10:54,807 --> 00:10:57,526
Three little words:
The Republican Congress.
187
00:10:57,687 --> 00:11:02,636
Give the Santos-McGarry administration
a Democratic Congressional majority...
188
00:11:02,807 --> 00:11:06,163
...we'll bring health-care costs
under control our first year in office.
189
00:11:09,447 --> 00:11:11,039
- You're doing it again.
- I am not.
190
00:11:11,247 --> 00:11:12,362
Leo...
191
00:11:13,607 --> 00:11:15,006
...what's this?
192
00:11:15,567 --> 00:11:19,640
- Wanna lose those clear to the knuckle?
- I wanna see this. Not this.
193
00:11:19,807 --> 00:11:21,081
What my life has come to.
194
00:11:21,247 --> 00:11:23,317
It wouldn't kill you
to throw in specifics.
195
00:11:23,487 --> 00:11:25,523
Thought you didn't do content.
196
00:11:29,647 --> 00:11:31,205
Hey, you looking for me?
197
00:11:31,367 --> 00:11:33,961
If you've got a minute,
can you brief me on Kazakhstan?
198
00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:36,243
The press is starting to ask
more questions.
199
00:11:36,447 --> 00:11:39,598
- Sure. What do you wanna know?
- Has a deal been struck?
200
00:11:39,767 --> 00:11:42,122
- Classified.
- So if there was, details would be...?
201
00:11:42,287 --> 00:11:44,721
- Also classified.
- Lf there was a deal. Which is...
202
00:11:44,887 --> 00:11:47,117
- Classified.
- Have elections been rescheduled?
203
00:11:47,287 --> 00:11:48,879
- In Kazakhstan?
- That's our subject.
204
00:11:49,047 --> 00:11:51,242
Also classified,
though I can't imagine why.
205
00:11:51,407 --> 00:11:53,204
- You're enjoying this.
- Not really, no.
206
00:11:53,367 --> 00:11:56,086
Have the parties agreed
to U.N. Monitors in the election...
207
00:11:56,247 --> 00:11:58,124
...that may be rescheduled?
- Classified.
208
00:11:58,327 --> 00:12:00,522
- You're just playing with me now.
- I'm not.
209
00:12:00,687 --> 00:12:03,247
Is the subject of monitors
being discussed?
210
00:12:04,447 --> 00:12:06,722
- It's in the papers.
- They didn't hear it from us.
211
00:12:06,887 --> 00:12:10,516
So it's being considered?
Debated? Negotiated?
212
00:12:10,687 --> 00:12:12,837
- Anywhere by anyone?
- I'm so sorry.
213
00:12:13,047 --> 00:12:15,607
Makes you feel powerful.
"I am woman, hear me withhold."
214
00:12:15,767 --> 00:12:17,166
- It's not like that.
- A little.
215
00:12:17,327 --> 00:12:18,442
- At moments.
- This moment?
216
00:12:18,607 --> 00:12:20,677
- A bit.
- It's disturbingly compelling.
217
00:12:20,847 --> 00:12:23,441
- What's that say about you?
- Nothing good.
218
00:12:23,607 --> 00:12:27,680
- Thank you for all the illuminating help.
- Anytime.
219
00:12:30,927 --> 00:12:33,600
Nice to be home.
I need a little semblance of normalcy.
220
00:12:33,767 --> 00:12:37,919
- Normalcy ain't what it used to be.
- Helen, I'm sorry about all this.
221
00:12:38,087 --> 00:12:39,918
Small price to pay to have you home.
222
00:12:40,087 --> 00:12:42,920
So the Secret Service guys,
they're okay if they stay outside?
223
00:12:43,087 --> 00:12:44,759
- It's fine.
- All the neighbors...
224
00:12:44,927 --> 00:12:47,646
...they're all right with the guys
posted around the house?
225
00:12:47,807 --> 00:12:50,799
Are you kidding? They now live
on the safest block in America.
226
00:12:54,727 --> 00:12:57,116
- Did you wanna go somewhere?
- Gonna get the mail.
227
00:12:57,287 --> 00:12:59,596
We'll need a few minutes
to shut down the street.
228
00:12:59,807 --> 00:13:02,879
- To walk to the mailbox?
- Any time you go into the front yard.
229
00:13:03,047 --> 00:13:05,959
- We really need to get into all that?
- I'm afraid so, sir.
230
00:13:06,647 --> 00:13:09,559
It's okay. It's... Never mind.
231
00:13:09,727 --> 00:13:11,843
We'll get someone
to retrieve the mail for you.
232
00:13:12,007 --> 00:13:13,998
- Fine.
- Then it'll need to be screened.
233
00:13:14,647 --> 00:13:16,717
Do whatever you have to do.
234
00:13:18,247 --> 00:13:19,680
What's that noise?
235
00:13:19,847 --> 00:13:22,281
Those are our vehicles.
We keep their engines running.
236
00:13:22,487 --> 00:13:24,682
- Neighbors must love that.
- Yes, sir.
237
00:13:29,567 --> 00:13:32,445
"McGarry Debate Debacle"?
Where did he get this?
238
00:13:32,607 --> 00:13:34,006
Who knows how they get it.
239
00:13:34,167 --> 00:13:37,796
Considering he has all the gory details,
I'd have to say it was from one of us.
240
00:13:37,967 --> 00:13:40,606
- Don't say "us." You mean "you."
- I didn't leak anything.
241
00:13:40,767 --> 00:13:43,440
I'm this far
from ordering polygraph tests.
242
00:13:43,607 --> 00:13:46,280
Nobody mention this to Leo.
His confidence is shaky.
243
00:13:48,687 --> 00:13:51,884
- Hey.
- You see this?
244
00:13:53,487 --> 00:13:55,682
I heard something about it, yeah.
245
00:13:57,367 --> 00:13:59,085
Let's get started.
246
00:13:59,247 --> 00:14:01,841
We evidently have some work to do.
247
00:14:07,967 --> 00:14:12,040
We discount this blog report as
the transparent ploy it so obviously is.
248
00:14:12,207 --> 00:14:14,926
We expect Leo McGarry
to be a formidable debate opponent.
249
00:14:17,287 --> 00:14:18,436
Off the record...
250
00:14:18,607 --> 00:14:22,043
...I think you can sum up the mood
here at headquarters as "yippee."
251
00:14:22,207 --> 00:14:24,084
Yeah. Thanks, Harv.
252
00:14:24,247 --> 00:14:25,726
Everyone's got it.
253
00:14:25,887 --> 00:14:28,799
- God bless the Internet.
- It giveth and it taketh away.
254
00:14:28,967 --> 00:14:31,037
It's giving with both hands
on this baby.
255
00:14:31,207 --> 00:14:32,959
Well, let's not be overconfident.
256
00:14:33,127 --> 00:14:35,880
The best thing about being warned
about overconfidence...
257
00:14:36,047 --> 00:14:39,084
...it means you have a hell of a reason
to feel pretty confident.
258
00:14:39,247 --> 00:14:42,683
I'm not gonna be lulled by this.
McGarry is verbal and tough.
259
00:14:42,847 --> 00:14:44,758
It's one thing to argue
behind the scenes.
260
00:14:44,927 --> 00:14:47,395
It's another ball game
doing it in a debate setting.
261
00:14:47,607 --> 00:14:49,802
Concerned about
presentation, tone...?
262
00:14:49,967 --> 00:14:51,286
- Clarity.
- Concision.
263
00:14:51,447 --> 00:14:54,723
It's hard for veteran politicians,
let alone a neophyte like McGarry.
264
00:14:54,927 --> 00:14:57,760
- Leo's no neophyte.
- At being a candidate he is.
265
00:14:57,927 --> 00:15:01,237
You can go balls to the wall
all you like in private with the president.
266
00:15:01,407 --> 00:15:03,045
Try doing that in public, on TV.
267
00:15:03,207 --> 00:15:05,277
- Scares the horses.
- We go in just as hard...
268
00:15:05,447 --> 00:15:08,644
...just as strong, just as focused.
- You'll wipe the floor with him.
269
00:15:08,807 --> 00:15:10,240
That was my plan, regardless.
270
00:15:10,407 --> 00:15:14,036
- Lf he's that bad, you wanna dial it back.
- Don't want me to look like a bully?
271
00:15:14,207 --> 00:15:17,324
Trick is to beat his brains in
without making people sorry for him.
272
00:15:17,487 --> 00:15:18,715
Let's get to work.
273
00:15:18,887 --> 00:15:21,401
- What speech am I giving?
- Plus the fundraising appeal?
274
00:15:21,567 --> 00:15:22,886
- Modified stump.
- Modified?
275
00:15:23,447 --> 00:15:25,324
- Shorter.
- Less filling, tastes great.
276
00:15:25,487 --> 00:15:27,717
- Hopefully.
- It's Houston. These people know you.
277
00:15:27,887 --> 00:15:30,082
- They're sick of hearing me talk.
- Conceivably.
278
00:15:30,247 --> 00:15:32,158
Thank you for your support.
279
00:15:32,367 --> 00:15:34,164
Can anybody speak Spanish here?
280
00:15:34,327 --> 00:15:36,966
You wanna spend less time telling
them what they know...
281
00:15:37,167 --> 00:15:40,159
...more time looking them in the eye
and asking them for cash.
282
00:15:40,327 --> 00:15:41,806
We count on a squirm factor.
283
00:15:42,007 --> 00:15:44,885
I could just hold them upside down,
give them a good shake.
284
00:15:45,047 --> 00:15:48,164
- We may be after more than they have.
- It's Houston, you never know.
285
00:15:48,367 --> 00:15:51,404
- It's all about the dinero.
- That's money, right?
286
00:15:53,407 --> 00:15:57,958
Hey, remember, we're trying to
build confidence, so hold back a little.
287
00:15:58,127 --> 00:16:00,516
This is only useful if it's real.
Don't hold back.
288
00:16:00,687 --> 00:16:02,040
Ready?
289
00:16:02,207 --> 00:16:04,767
- Where's the camera?
- No taping.
290
00:16:04,967 --> 00:16:08,562
- The people who need to see it are here.
- No, for my own edification, review.
291
00:16:08,727 --> 00:16:11,116
- Don't need you too self-conscious.
- No split focus.
292
00:16:11,287 --> 00:16:14,597
We want you to concentrate on
your performance, not your forehead.
293
00:16:14,767 --> 00:16:17,235
Your forehead's gorgeous.
Actually making me hot.
294
00:16:18,647 --> 00:16:19,875
Let's get started.
295
00:16:20,047 --> 00:16:22,686
Mr. McGarry, the United States
refuses to recognize...
296
00:16:22,847 --> 00:16:26,635
...the U.N. International Criminal Court's
jurisdiction as it applies to itself...
297
00:16:26,807 --> 00:16:30,959
...yet seems to expect the world
to submit to that body's legal authority.
298
00:16:31,167 --> 00:16:34,079
- Isn't this arrogant and hypocritical?
- Yes.
299
00:16:38,887 --> 00:16:42,277
Congressional withholding
of recognition of the ICC...
300
00:16:42,447 --> 00:16:45,723
...has been one of the factors
contributing to growing resentment...
301
00:16:45,927 --> 00:16:47,360
...toward the United States.
302
00:16:47,527 --> 00:16:50,360
And I know the argument
on the other side.
303
00:16:50,567 --> 00:16:54,480
Because the U.S. Takes a leading role
in military interventions overseas...
304
00:16:55,047 --> 00:16:57,117
...it leaves itself
especially vulnerable...
305
00:16:57,327 --> 00:17:00,285
...to potentially illegitimate
legal claims...
306
00:17:00,447 --> 00:17:05,157
...motivated solely by ideological
or political animus...
307
00:17:05,327 --> 00:17:07,557
...with no countervailing checks
or balances.
308
00:17:08,927 --> 00:17:12,158
But to get back to our position.
309
00:17:12,327 --> 00:17:15,444
The ICC requires the participation...
310
00:17:15,607 --> 00:17:19,998
...to have true legitimacy, of the world's
remaining superpower, sole remaining...
311
00:17:20,167 --> 00:17:21,441
Time.
312
00:17:29,287 --> 00:17:30,800
Lou?
313
00:17:31,247 --> 00:17:34,717
Okay, that was good.
314
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:38,721
You spent more time laying out the other
side's position rather than your own.
315
00:17:38,927 --> 00:17:40,201
- I felt that.
- Yeah?
316
00:17:40,767 --> 00:17:43,406
Good.
And the language was a bit dense.
317
00:17:44,327 --> 00:17:46,716
- Dense?
- Help me out here.
318
00:17:46,927 --> 00:17:49,441
- "Dense" is good.
- Could be more plainspoken.
319
00:17:49,647 --> 00:17:51,205
- That's it.
- Plainspoken, exactly.
320
00:17:51,367 --> 00:17:52,641
Plainspoken.
321
00:17:52,807 --> 00:17:54,763
- Will! Will!
- Yes, Steve.
322
00:17:54,927 --> 00:17:56,997
Do you have an update
on Kazakhstan?
323
00:17:57,167 --> 00:17:59,601
- Things seem to be in a holding pattern.
- Seem to be?
324
00:17:59,767 --> 00:18:01,564
I have no information to the contrary.
325
00:18:01,727 --> 00:18:05,879
Has a deal been reached to keep Chinese
troops from crossing their borders?
326
00:18:06,047 --> 00:18:09,039
- Not that I'm aware of at this time.
- Is one being negotiated?
327
00:18:09,567 --> 00:18:11,478
- Couldn't say.
- But you could say?
328
00:18:11,647 --> 00:18:13,683
I should have said
I have no knowledge...
329
00:18:13,847 --> 00:18:15,917
...of whether an agreement
is being discussed.
330
00:18:16,127 --> 00:18:17,560
Are you just obfuscating here?
331
00:18:17,727 --> 00:18:21,436
Luckily for all of you, if perhaps
not so much for the administration...
332
00:18:21,607 --> 00:18:25,395
...should it ever come to that, I couldn't
possibly pull it off this convincingly.
333
00:18:25,607 --> 00:18:28,440
If we're on the brink of war,
this won't seem so amusing.
334
00:18:28,647 --> 00:18:31,878
In that event, one might assume
we'd all have more pressing concerns.
335
00:18:32,047 --> 00:18:33,321
- Will!
- Mark.
336
00:18:34,767 --> 00:18:36,519
- There you are.
- We finally finished...
337
00:18:36,687 --> 00:18:39,599
...revising those stimulus numbers
based upon that CBO package.
338
00:18:39,767 --> 00:18:42,804
Is that what you were doing?
All I heard was people laughing.
339
00:18:42,967 --> 00:18:46,880
- Well, we enjoy each other's company.
- Yeah, evidently.
340
00:18:47,767 --> 00:18:49,325
There a problem?
341
00:18:49,487 --> 00:18:51,603
Just that when you said
you were coming home...
342
00:18:51,767 --> 00:18:54,201
...I got the idea that you'd
spend time with the kids.
343
00:18:54,367 --> 00:18:58,076
- I played with them this morning.
- Practically handling them with tongs.
344
00:18:58,247 --> 00:18:59,919
I didn't want to get in their faces.
345
00:19:00,087 --> 00:19:03,159
They have colds. It's unlikely
you'll start bleeding from the eyes.
346
00:19:03,327 --> 00:19:05,363
I'm in the middle
of a presidential campaign.
347
00:19:05,527 --> 00:19:08,758
- That's where you've been nights.
- I know it's been rough.
348
00:19:10,007 --> 00:19:11,884
The kids being issued panic buttons...
349
00:19:12,047 --> 00:19:14,959
...and the house transformed
into an armed camp?
350
00:19:15,127 --> 00:19:17,482
Bit of an exaggeration.
351
00:19:17,647 --> 00:19:20,366
The windows in here
look any different?
352
00:19:21,367 --> 00:19:23,562
No, not really.
353
00:19:24,567 --> 00:19:30,039
Yeah, it's amazing the natural look they
can achieve now with bulletproof glass.
354
00:19:30,207 --> 00:19:31,845
Labor Day, the barbecue...
355
00:19:32,007 --> 00:19:35,886
...I had to provide everybody's names,
Social Security numbers, birthdates.
356
00:19:36,047 --> 00:19:38,720
To have a hot dog,
everyone had to be issued ID pins.
357
00:19:38,887 --> 00:19:42,800
My mother walking around tagged
like she was some threatening wacko.
358
00:19:42,967 --> 00:19:46,357
If you're considering this an opportunity
to crack a mother-in-law joke...
359
00:19:46,527 --> 00:19:50,315
...you are seriously misjudging
the mood of your audience.
360
00:20:04,247 --> 00:20:06,158
I had a real good one too.
361
00:20:06,327 --> 00:20:08,045
Yeah, what?
362
00:20:08,767 --> 00:20:10,485
Too late.
363
00:20:11,727 --> 00:20:13,445
I'm sorry.
364
00:20:17,447 --> 00:20:19,677
Tomorrow will be better.
365
00:20:23,167 --> 00:20:27,285
Hey, think about the neat place
we get to live in once we win this thing.
366
00:20:28,967 --> 00:20:31,720
- My throat's really hurting.
- Oh, sweetie.
367
00:20:31,927 --> 00:20:33,804
- Come here, honey.
- I'll handle it.
368
00:20:33,967 --> 00:20:35,559
- What's wrong, angel?
- I want Mommy.
369
00:20:35,727 --> 00:20:38,878
- Okay.
- Come here, baby.
370
00:20:39,047 --> 00:20:40,685
Yeah, you're a little warm.
371
00:20:40,847 --> 00:20:42,883
- Let's go take your temperature, okay?
- Okay.
372
00:20:43,047 --> 00:20:46,198
Okay, honey. Come here.
373
00:20:57,167 --> 00:21:00,557
Given the vice president's role
as one who could be called upon...
374
00:21:00,727 --> 00:21:02,160
... to assume the presidency...
375
00:21:02,327 --> 00:21:05,205
... what's your response to concern
about your medical history?
376
00:21:05,367 --> 00:21:08,200
I'd say the house speaker
shouldn't skip any checkups.
377
00:21:08,367 --> 00:21:10,483
- He can't be flippant.
- I thought it was funny.
378
00:21:10,647 --> 00:21:12,558
- Defusing.
- Sullivan will jump all over it.
379
00:21:12,727 --> 00:21:15,036
Do an aria about
the responsibility of succession.
380
00:21:15,247 --> 00:21:18,319
- He'll look like an idiot.
- Leo will sound like he could care less.
381
00:21:18,487 --> 00:21:20,398
How can we help him
if we can't even agree?
382
00:21:20,607 --> 00:21:22,279
- He never knew we were taping?
- Nope.
383
00:21:22,447 --> 00:21:24,722
- Nice job.
- Lipstick cameras.
384
00:21:24,887 --> 00:21:27,879
- Use these at home for your pleasure?
- Wouldn't you like to know.
385
00:21:28,087 --> 00:21:29,759
- Not really, no.
- Should we cancel?
386
00:21:29,967 --> 00:21:31,685
- The debate?
- It's the right question.
387
00:21:31,847 --> 00:21:34,486
It would be saying we were worried
about him looking bad.
388
00:21:34,687 --> 00:21:36,678
Better than him in fact looking bad.
389
00:21:36,887 --> 00:21:40,277
We don't cancel. We keep working.
Do another practice session tomorrow.
390
00:21:40,487 --> 00:21:42,398
- Tomorrow is the debate.
- Is it? Really?
391
00:21:42,567 --> 00:21:44,000
Gee, slipped my mind.
392
00:21:44,487 --> 00:21:46,796
Okay, guys, thank you. You can go.
393
00:21:52,807 --> 00:21:54,559
He'll be fine.
394
00:21:56,047 --> 00:21:59,357
- Acceptable.
- I'll take anything over "train wreck."
395
00:22:08,167 --> 00:22:09,486
- Yeah?
- Hey.
396
00:22:09,647 --> 00:22:11,126
Congressman, how'd the event go?
397
00:22:11,287 --> 00:22:14,085
Asking people who've already
given money to give more money?
398
00:22:14,287 --> 00:22:17,199
- You gotta be shameless.
- It's shameful how shameless you get.
399
00:22:17,367 --> 00:22:18,925
- What are you up to?
- Cramming.
400
00:22:19,087 --> 00:22:20,361
I know the feeling.
401
00:22:20,527 --> 00:22:25,681
Karmic retribution for every candidate
I ever glibly told, "Just work harder."
402
00:22:25,847 --> 00:22:28,998
- You saw the blog report.
- Don't let that worry you, Leo.
403
00:22:29,167 --> 00:22:31,886
Every time you and I argue policy,
you kick my ass.
404
00:22:32,087 --> 00:22:33,884
- Hardly.
- Piece of advice?
405
00:22:34,047 --> 00:22:36,607
- Please.
- Don 't let those advisers mess you up.
406
00:22:36,807 --> 00:22:39,640
That well-intentioned counsel
can get you so self-conscious...
407
00:22:39,807 --> 00:22:43,117
...you can't remember your shoe size.
Trust your instincts.
408
00:22:43,287 --> 00:22:45,323
- You have a practice session tomorrow?
- Yeah.
409
00:22:45,527 --> 00:22:48,837
Blow it off. Go to the movies.
Get everybody out of your head.
410
00:22:49,327 --> 00:22:51,921
- How's the homecoming?
- Great.
411
00:22:52,127 --> 00:22:53,799
A little reentry problem?
412
00:22:54,007 --> 00:22:56,396
- Little bit.
- She right there?
413
00:22:56,567 --> 00:22:58,683
Home with the kids.
Miranda's got a fever.
414
00:22:58,887 --> 00:23:00,764
You two will be all right.
415
00:23:00,927 --> 00:23:03,919
My best advice?
Don't get on the plane angry.
416
00:23:04,127 --> 00:23:05,685
Says the divorced guy.
417
00:23:05,847 --> 00:23:08,998
- That make the advice better or worse?
- No idea.
418
00:23:10,367 --> 00:23:12,437
- Get some rest, huh?
- Thanks for calling.
419
00:23:12,607 --> 00:23:14,245
Good luck.
420
00:23:27,847 --> 00:23:30,236
- What are you doing here on a Sunday?
- No life. You?
421
00:23:30,407 --> 00:23:32,796
Wait, let me guess. You can't tell me.
422
00:23:33,207 --> 00:23:35,084
- You're getting good at this.
- Coffee?
423
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:37,283
You know, it occurs to me,
if you ever used...
424
00:23:37,447 --> 00:23:40,359
And the fact that you haven't
earns you cliche-avoidance points.
425
00:23:40,527 --> 00:23:43,405
- The "I could tell you
but then I'd have to kill you" trope...
426
00:23:43,567 --> 00:23:46,684
...you probably actually could.
- With my bare hands.
427
00:23:46,887 --> 00:23:48,479
Again, alarmingly alluring.
428
00:23:49,367 --> 00:23:51,244
You do have issues to work on...
429
00:23:51,447 --> 00:23:55,042
...which I tend to find compelling,
to my continual misery.
430
00:23:55,207 --> 00:23:57,846
- Really?
- Dismayingly so.
431
00:23:58,407 --> 00:24:02,764
I just came by to say that you acquitted
yourself well at yesterday's briefing.
432
00:24:02,927 --> 00:24:04,599
- Apocalypse Maybe.
- Nimbly done.
433
00:24:04,767 --> 00:24:06,166
- Don't change the subject.
- From?
434
00:24:06,327 --> 00:24:08,761
The end of the world as we know it.
435
00:24:09,327 --> 00:24:12,922
I can assure you, Armageddon,
not necessarily imminent.
436
00:24:13,087 --> 00:24:15,282
May I communicate same
to the White House press?
437
00:24:15,447 --> 00:24:16,516
I can't think why not.
438
00:24:16,687 --> 00:24:19,804
You have the thanks of
a grateful communications director.
439
00:24:20,167 --> 00:24:22,965
Though the prospect of the world ending
did have one upside.
440
00:24:23,127 --> 00:24:26,005
It gave license to ask whether
you might have dinner with me...
441
00:24:26,167 --> 00:24:28,601
...before we and the planet
went up in cinders.
442
00:24:29,607 --> 00:24:32,565
Well, that is an opportunity lost.
443
00:24:32,727 --> 00:24:34,445
Though I said it wasn't imminent...
444
00:24:34,607 --> 00:24:36,916
...not that it was
out of the range of possibility.
445
00:24:37,127 --> 00:24:39,277
- So then...?
- How's tonight?
446
00:24:51,527 --> 00:24:54,917
It's all over that Leo had another
bad practice. Somebody's leaking.
447
00:24:55,087 --> 00:24:57,806
- You can't think it's one of us.
- You told a friend...
448
00:24:57,967 --> 00:25:01,721
...the friend told The Washington Post.
- I haven't spoken to a friend in months.
449
00:25:01,887 --> 00:25:04,401
- I don't have any left.
- My friends are in this room.
450
00:25:04,567 --> 00:25:06,876
Okay, you win Most Pathetic.
451
00:25:07,927 --> 00:25:10,680
- Am I interrupting?
- Hey. No, no. Not at all.
452
00:25:11,647 --> 00:25:14,445
I'm canceling today's debate prep.
453
00:25:15,327 --> 00:25:16,919
I'm not sure that's the best plan.
454
00:25:17,087 --> 00:25:19,282
Too many voices.
Need to clear my head a little.
455
00:25:19,447 --> 00:25:22,996
- We could just make it Josh and me.
- Or just Lou. Or me.
456
00:25:23,407 --> 00:25:26,001
- Think I'll do better on my own.
- A short session?
457
00:25:26,167 --> 00:25:28,397
- Don't wanna leave it in the locker room.
- Right.
458
00:25:28,567 --> 00:25:30,125
- See you all tonight.
- Okay.
459
00:25:30,287 --> 00:25:31,879
Bye.
460
00:25:42,607 --> 00:25:46,395
Forget what I was saying.
I want you to lower expectations now.
461
00:25:46,607 --> 00:25:49,883
- Beyond what's already there?
- Lower. Gopher low. Hades low.
462
00:25:50,047 --> 00:25:54,006
Spinning-iron-core-of-the-planet low.
Low.
463
00:25:55,767 --> 00:26:00,238
Between the security sweep, the metal
detectors and the perimeter detail...
464
00:26:00,407 --> 00:26:04,764
...that was about the safest Mass
performed in America today.
465
00:26:05,487 --> 00:26:08,001
- What's so funny?
- Yeah, what's so funny?
466
00:26:08,167 --> 00:26:10,681
Kind of everything.
467
00:26:10,847 --> 00:26:13,486
Did Teddy's father get his gun back?
468
00:26:14,167 --> 00:26:16,476
I don't know, Pete.
You're gonna have to ask him.
469
00:26:16,647 --> 00:26:19,161
- What?
- All right, kids, get changed.
470
00:26:19,327 --> 00:26:21,761
You had him yesterday.
It's the Sabbath, day of rest.
471
00:26:21,927 --> 00:26:23,838
There's something
you'll both wanna see.
472
00:26:24,007 --> 00:26:26,601
- What is it?
- A photo's hit the papers...
473
00:26:26,767 --> 00:26:28,962
...you're not gonna like.
- I've looked worse.
474
00:26:29,127 --> 00:26:31,083
It's not of you.
475
00:26:46,207 --> 00:26:49,722
Think they planted it?
Distract from the debate tonight?
476
00:26:49,887 --> 00:26:51,161
Only a man would ask that.
477
00:26:51,327 --> 00:26:53,636
- Beg your pardon?
- Sorry, you're right.
478
00:26:53,807 --> 00:26:55,081
Only you.
479
00:26:55,567 --> 00:26:58,843
- It's all over the Internet.
- What are we doing about Illinois?
480
00:26:59,007 --> 00:27:01,475
- Not panicking.
- Four points up is still up.
481
00:27:01,687 --> 00:27:04,247
- Senator to Chicago and the suburbs...
- I go downstate.
482
00:27:04,407 --> 00:27:06,716
Santos ain't playing in Peoria.
483
00:27:07,887 --> 00:27:09,718
- They're talking about canceling.
- Who?
484
00:27:09,887 --> 00:27:12,355
- Santos-McGarry.
- I hear they're in panic mode.
485
00:27:12,567 --> 00:27:14,319
- That's why you leak this photo.
- Stop.
486
00:27:14,487 --> 00:27:17,638
The bar's so low, the only way
McGarry looks bad is if he trips over it.
487
00:27:17,847 --> 00:27:22,125
You go do your thing. Just watch out it
doesn't look like you're kicking a cripple.
488
00:27:22,287 --> 00:27:25,279
- And we let this man talk to reporters.
- What?
489
00:27:26,487 --> 00:27:28,557
This is out of bounds!
490
00:27:28,727 --> 00:27:30,718
I want you to contact
every media outlet.
491
00:27:30,887 --> 00:27:34,277
Anyone using this will no longer
receive cooperation from this campaign.
492
00:27:39,687 --> 00:27:42,599
- Honey, I'm sorry about this.
- I'm...
493
00:27:43,207 --> 00:27:45,243
I guess this is "speechless."
494
00:27:46,447 --> 00:27:48,324
It's trash journalism.
495
00:27:48,487 --> 00:27:50,796
The lowest kind of tabloid stuff.
This'll backfire.
496
00:27:50,967 --> 00:27:53,276
They'll only sell out every copy.
497
00:27:53,447 --> 00:27:55,039
I'm so sorry, Mrs. Santos.
498
00:27:56,047 --> 00:27:57,878
- I can understand how you feel.
- Can you?
499
00:27:58,047 --> 00:28:00,925
What kind of underwear
are you wearing right now, Donna?
500
00:28:06,567 --> 00:28:08,364
Put me on the phone
with this publisher.
501
00:28:08,567 --> 00:28:11,161
- I'm not sure that's the best...
- Put me on with him! Now.
502
00:28:15,367 --> 00:28:17,756
Hey, is this a bad time?
503
00:28:18,287 --> 00:28:20,437
No. You caught me
in between arraignments.
504
00:28:20,647 --> 00:28:23,559
- You haven't changed your cell number.
- Disappointed to get me?
505
00:28:23,727 --> 00:28:25,365
- No, l...
- Somebody dead?
506
00:28:26,487 --> 00:28:28,398
- I've talked to you.
- Once every six weeks.
507
00:28:28,567 --> 00:28:30,637
You can set
an extremely slow clock by it.
508
00:28:30,847 --> 00:28:32,758
I didn't think you wanted
to hear from me.
509
00:28:32,927 --> 00:28:35,919
- I don't feel cut off enough?
- I wasn't sure I wanted to talk.
510
00:28:36,127 --> 00:28:38,641
Last time, you were
more than usually "assholic."
511
00:28:39,647 --> 00:28:41,239
Is that the reason you're calling?
512
00:28:41,407 --> 00:28:45,958
Because I'm not sure I'm in the ideal
head space for a character critique.
513
00:28:47,007 --> 00:28:48,804
Have you seen this stuff about Leo?
514
00:28:48,967 --> 00:28:51,640
- Lowering expectations.
- It's not us.
515
00:28:51,847 --> 00:28:55,476
- Really? You mean, he actually...?
- Yeah.
516
00:28:57,007 --> 00:28:59,362
News for a day. Not even,
with this tattoo thing.
517
00:28:59,527 --> 00:29:01,916
- That was you, right?
- No.
518
00:29:02,127 --> 00:29:03,879
Really on top of the information flow.
519
00:29:04,087 --> 00:29:08,205
I think we can do without your usual
disparagement of my job performance.
520
00:29:09,047 --> 00:29:12,722
- I just feel like I really screwed up.
- It's the VP debate...
521
00:29:12,927 --> 00:29:15,885
...the definition of low impact.
- The campaign will survive.
522
00:29:16,087 --> 00:29:17,486
It's... It's Leo.
523
00:29:17,687 --> 00:29:19,917
- He'll survive too.
- I put him in this position.
524
00:29:20,127 --> 00:29:22,357
If he embarrasses himself,
it's my fault.
525
00:29:22,567 --> 00:29:25,081
- He's a big boy, Josh.
- He did this for me, and now...
526
00:29:25,287 --> 00:29:28,438
Now, I put him in this position
where he can fail on national TV.
527
00:29:28,647 --> 00:29:30,638
- He did this for you?
- You know what I mean.
528
00:29:30,807 --> 00:29:34,925
Leo McGarry did not accept his party's
nomination for the vice-presidency...
529
00:29:35,087 --> 00:29:38,557
...because he thought it might
make your socks roll up and down.
530
00:29:38,727 --> 00:29:41,446
I just hate to see him struggle.
It's not what he deserves.
531
00:29:41,607 --> 00:29:45,998
I can't help if it sounds self-aggrandizing.
I feel responsible.
532
00:29:47,207 --> 00:29:49,801
- He's really that bad?
- Watch tonight.
533
00:29:50,007 --> 00:29:52,521
Actually, don't watch.
534
00:29:53,447 --> 00:29:55,199
This must all sound pretty trivial.
535
00:29:55,407 --> 00:29:58,922
To someone under indictment?
It does concentrate the mind a little.
536
00:29:59,087 --> 00:30:00,884
- How's that going?
- Can 't talk about it.
537
00:30:01,047 --> 00:30:02,958
- Too tough?
- Legally proscribed.
538
00:30:03,167 --> 00:30:06,364
- Right.
- Give yourself a pass on this, Josh.
539
00:30:07,367 --> 00:30:08,846
Yeah.
540
00:30:09,087 --> 00:30:11,157
- I'll talk to you in six weeks.
- Election day.
541
00:30:11,327 --> 00:30:13,716
I forget, in D.C., they let felons vote?
542
00:30:16,567 --> 00:30:18,239
Too soon?
543
00:30:18,407 --> 00:30:19,920
Just a little bit.
544
00:30:20,087 --> 00:30:21,520
See you.
545
00:30:27,807 --> 00:30:30,560
I just tore that publisher a new one.
546
00:30:32,087 --> 00:30:35,477
- You okay?
- "Okay" may be a bit much to hope for.
547
00:30:35,647 --> 00:30:38,161
- I'm sorry about all this.
- It's not your fault.
548
00:30:38,327 --> 00:30:41,364
- In a way.
- What are you gonna do?
549
00:30:41,527 --> 00:30:44,280
That shouldn't be a part of all of this.
550
00:30:44,447 --> 00:30:46,199
Everything is a part of this.
551
00:30:46,367 --> 00:30:49,086
If you don't see that,
you're not paying attention.
552
00:30:49,287 --> 00:30:51,926
No pizza delivery on the block.
Mass starting late...
553
00:30:52,087 --> 00:30:54,806
...so they could mag-wand the choir.
The kids getting sick.
554
00:30:55,007 --> 00:30:57,840
- The kids? How are they...?
- Dragging them across the country.
555
00:30:58,007 --> 00:31:00,646
Kids whose fathers
aren't running for president get colds.
556
00:31:00,807 --> 00:31:03,446
- Well, I'm not gonna do it anymore.
- They enjoy it, Helen.
557
00:31:03,607 --> 00:31:05,757
Sitting in hotel rooms,
waiting for Daddy?
558
00:31:05,967 --> 00:31:08,037
Can we talk about this
when you're not upset?
559
00:31:09,927 --> 00:31:14,239
You should change. You promised Peter
you'd throw the football around.
560
00:31:14,527 --> 00:31:16,722
Oh, the minute I've had dinner
I'm going to bed.
561
00:31:16,887 --> 00:31:20,960
What you need is to get all dressed up
and go out to dinner tonight.
562
00:31:35,447 --> 00:31:37,005
Hey.
563
00:31:37,607 --> 00:31:39,404
You all set for tonight?
564
00:31:39,567 --> 00:31:41,558
I better be.
565
00:31:41,927 --> 00:31:46,079
Got a suit picked out? Tie?
566
00:31:46,247 --> 00:31:48,442
- You here to approve my wardrobe?
- No, I'm not...
567
00:31:48,607 --> 00:31:51,440
I'm not worried about that.
I'm not worried at all.
568
00:31:51,607 --> 00:31:53,802
Thanks for saying it, at least.
569
00:31:53,967 --> 00:31:56,686
Listen, we should
move Rock the Vote up.
570
00:31:56,847 --> 00:31:59,361
It's gonna give Santos
his boxers-or-briefs moment.
571
00:31:59,847 --> 00:32:03,806
- Helen should do it with him.
- She won't do it. He's pretty pissed.
572
00:32:04,007 --> 00:32:06,123
We make lemonade.
We put them both on.
573
00:32:06,327 --> 00:32:09,285
- Youthful, attractive.
- Camelot for the 21st century.
574
00:32:09,447 --> 00:32:11,836
- We turn that vote out, we win.
- They never come out.
575
00:32:12,007 --> 00:32:14,157
They haven't had anyone like him
since Kennedy.
576
00:32:14,367 --> 00:32:19,202
I'll get on it. There's still time
to go over stuff for tonight.
577
00:32:19,407 --> 00:32:22,524
- I'm good.
- Last-minute review?
578
00:32:23,807 --> 00:32:25,718
I'd rather take it easy. Rest up.
579
00:32:32,807 --> 00:32:34,286
It's gonna be good.
580
00:32:34,847 --> 00:32:36,485
Gonna be what it is.
581
00:32:40,527 --> 00:32:42,757
Okay, well...
582
00:32:44,007 --> 00:32:46,805
- Thanks for coming by.
- Yeah, I'll see you there.
583
00:32:54,087 --> 00:32:57,796
Leo's gonna be better than people think.
But it's the message, not the messenger.
584
00:32:57,967 --> 00:33:00,435
- Have any twos?
- Go fish.
585
00:33:00,607 --> 00:33:03,246
We're gonna score tonight
because what we've got to say...
586
00:33:03,407 --> 00:33:05,921
...about this country
is forward-looking and inclusive.
587
00:33:06,087 --> 00:33:07,361
Dad!
588
00:33:08,007 --> 00:33:11,682
I have every confidence that when
Leo McGarry challenges Ray Sullivan...
589
00:33:11,887 --> 00:33:14,924
...on the issues, he's gonna show
that the Vinick campaign's...
590
00:33:15,087 --> 00:33:19,399
...so-called Sensible Solutions
are neither sensible nor solutions.
591
00:33:21,567 --> 00:33:23,523
Sorry for the mix-up, Mr. Santos.
592
00:33:23,687 --> 00:33:26,884
Produce ID, pass through a metal
detector to enter my brother's house.
593
00:33:27,047 --> 00:33:30,244
We were told you were out of town.
That's why you weren't on the list.
594
00:33:30,447 --> 00:33:33,837
Plus, they got my name wrong.
It's Jorge. It's not George.
595
00:33:34,007 --> 00:33:36,123
They went with
what's on your driver's license.
596
00:33:36,327 --> 00:33:38,761
- Getting it changed.
- Hey, you made it after all, huh?
597
00:33:38,927 --> 00:33:41,919
Hey. I thought I was gonna get
cavity-searched.
598
00:33:42,127 --> 00:33:43,958
He wasn't on the list.
599
00:33:44,127 --> 00:33:46,721
- Standard operating procedure.
- You can make it up to me.
600
00:33:46,887 --> 00:33:50,402
Listen, I invited over a couple business
associates for drinks and a photo.
601
00:33:50,607 --> 00:33:53,167
Think we can get them past
your storm troopers?
602
00:33:55,207 --> 00:33:57,562
- Sure.
- I'll see what I can do.
603
00:33:58,887 --> 00:34:00,878
Helen's back here.
604
00:34:07,047 --> 00:34:09,481
I haven't had a chance to say,
you have a lovely home.
605
00:34:09,647 --> 00:34:11,638
It's nicer when
you don't have protesters...
606
00:34:11,847 --> 00:34:14,441
...holding pictures of fetuses
just up the street.
607
00:34:18,327 --> 00:34:22,081
- I'm sorry for snapping at you before.
- Completely understandable.
608
00:34:22,287 --> 00:34:23,925
Personal embarrassment aside...
609
00:34:24,087 --> 00:34:27,159
Embarrassment is when you nod off
at a PTA meeting.
610
00:34:27,327 --> 00:34:29,966
When cable news segments
are devoted to debates...
611
00:34:30,127 --> 00:34:33,722
...about whether you seem "whorey,"
I think we've upgraded to humiliation.
612
00:34:33,927 --> 00:34:38,125
I was just gonna say, actually,
it probably helps more than it hurts.
613
00:34:38,287 --> 00:34:40,482
Makes you and the congressman
seem sexy and hip.
614
00:34:40,687 --> 00:34:43,247
Well, glad to be of service.
615
00:34:46,127 --> 00:34:48,766
One of the reasons these stories
may get so much play...
616
00:34:48,927 --> 00:34:51,487
...might be because
it's all the public knows about you.
617
00:34:51,687 --> 00:34:53,325
You haven't really defined yourself.
618
00:34:53,527 --> 00:34:55,802
- I'm not running for president.
- With respect...
619
00:34:56,007 --> 00:34:57,963
...we both know
you're not that naive.
620
00:34:58,127 --> 00:35:01,517
The option to be left alone took a hit
when the congressman signed on...
621
00:35:01,727 --> 00:35:04,116
...and got obliterated
once he gained the nomination.
622
00:35:04,287 --> 00:35:06,278
It'll be a distant memory
when he wins this.
623
00:35:06,767 --> 00:35:10,316
It might be time for you to talk about
the kind of first lady you wanna be.
624
00:35:10,527 --> 00:35:12,916
I'd like to help you with that
if you let me.
625
00:35:13,127 --> 00:35:16,244
I can't tell you what kind of first lady
I'd like to be.
626
00:35:16,447 --> 00:35:19,325
I'm too busy deciding
if I want him to win.
627
00:35:20,247 --> 00:35:22,602
- Eye contact on the monitor.
- Points your punch.
628
00:35:22,767 --> 00:35:24,485
- Look at Sullivan.
- But don't stare.
629
00:35:24,647 --> 00:35:26,558
- Don't look bored.
- Even when he's boring.
630
00:35:26,727 --> 00:35:28,604
- He'll be boring.
- Hey, look at me.
631
00:35:29,367 --> 00:35:30,846
- Gorgeous.
- Get her away from me.
632
00:35:31,007 --> 00:35:32,838
- Can't take a compliment.
- They're ready.
633
00:35:33,007 --> 00:35:34,645
- Go get him.
- Good luck.
634
00:35:34,807 --> 00:35:36,081
Hey, McGarry?
635
00:35:36,287 --> 00:35:38,926
- You're smirking.
- Yeah.
636
00:35:53,927 --> 00:35:55,565
Good.
637
00:35:56,047 --> 00:35:58,038
- You. Me.
- Thank you.
638
00:36:00,807 --> 00:36:03,799
Carciofi salad, shaved Parmesan.
639
00:36:03,967 --> 00:36:05,525
- Little order envy.
- Take it.
640
00:36:05,687 --> 00:36:07,837
- No.
- One-time first-date offer.
641
00:36:08,007 --> 00:36:10,965
- I'd seize it.
- "First"?
642
00:36:11,287 --> 00:36:13,801
- Optimist.
- Takeout dinner in your office.
643
00:36:13,967 --> 00:36:15,719
You must be.
644
00:36:17,527 --> 00:36:19,563
Hey, it started.
645
00:36:21,967 --> 00:36:24,322
Mr. McGarry, your response.
646
00:36:24,567 --> 00:36:29,436
Senator Vinick and Governor Sullivan
oppose the Kyoto treaty.
647
00:36:29,607 --> 00:36:34,158
They don 't want foreign governments
dictating our emissions standards.
648
00:36:34,327 --> 00:36:36,522
They oppose
the International Criminal Court.
649
00:36:36,687 --> 00:36:40,919
They don 't want a foreign body to have
legal jurisdiction over U.S. Citizens.
650
00:36:41,127 --> 00:36:43,243
But they apparently
have no problem...
651
00:36:43,407 --> 00:36:45,921
... ceding enormous
unprecedented leverage...
652
00:36:46,087 --> 00:36:49,602
... over our economy
to bankers in China.
653
00:36:50,207 --> 00:36:52,004
Our opponents
evidently favor sending...
654
00:36:52,167 --> 00:36:56,524
... even more billions
of U.S. Dollars China 's way.
655
00:36:57,127 --> 00:36:59,960
Matt Santos and I would bring
that money back to our shores...
656
00:37:00,127 --> 00:37:01,560
... for our citizens...
657
00:37:01,727 --> 00:37:06,039
... and return control of our economy
back home, where it belongs.
658
00:37:10,247 --> 00:37:12,397
Mr. McGarry, next question 's for you.
659
00:37:12,567 --> 00:37:16,196
Many Americans consider
the vice president's role in succession...
660
00:37:16,367 --> 00:37:17,800
... to be the most important...
661
00:37:17,967 --> 00:37:20,003
Never said he was gonna
gibber like a gibbon.
662
00:37:20,167 --> 00:37:25,799
Given your medical history, why
shouldn't voters feel concern about you?
663
00:37:25,967 --> 00:37:27,480
By an overwhelming percentage...
664
00:37:27,647 --> 00:37:30,957
... the first warning symptom
of a heart attack is death.
665
00:37:31,487 --> 00:37:34,957
I'm fortunate to be here.
But it wasn't all luck.
666
00:37:35,367 --> 00:37:40,202
I was the beneficiary
of the finest medical care in the world.
667
00:37:40,367 --> 00:37:43,404
Medical care available to me,
to Governor Sullivan...
668
00:37:43,607 --> 00:37:48,556
... but not to the millions of Americans
with no or inadequate health insurance.
669
00:37:49,167 --> 00:37:51,556
They have their noses
pressed against the windows...
670
00:37:51,727 --> 00:37:53,638
... of the world's greatest hospitals...
671
00:37:53,807 --> 00:37:56,844
... best-trained doctors
and nursing professionals...
672
00:37:57,007 --> 00:38:01,080
... and when they most need,
most desperately need their services...
673
00:38:01,247 --> 00:38:02,726
... they can 't get in.
674
00:38:03,247 --> 00:38:06,239
Matt Santos and I don 't wanna leave
anyone out in the cold...
675
00:38:06,407 --> 00:38:08,363
... if they get sick like I did.
676
00:38:08,527 --> 00:38:09,801
I could kiss somebody.
677
00:38:09,967 --> 00:38:13,198
We want every man, woman
and child in this country...
678
00:38:13,367 --> 00:38:15,927
- Or, you know, not.
- ... to have full and equal access...
679
00:38:16,087 --> 00:38:20,558
... to the first-class treatment
that I firmly believe saved my life.
680
00:38:21,287 --> 00:38:23,482
- He didn't answer the question.
- Doesn't matter.
681
00:38:23,687 --> 00:38:25,917
- Doesn't matter.
- Damn straight!
682
00:38:26,087 --> 00:38:27,361
You said a swear.
683
00:38:30,127 --> 00:38:32,357
Thank you. Thanks.
684
00:38:32,527 --> 00:38:34,916
Thank you. Hopefully
it didn't embarrass us too bad.
685
00:38:35,087 --> 00:38:37,476
- Are you kidding?
- Josh and Lou are in the spin room?
686
00:38:37,647 --> 00:38:40,957
- You gave them a lot to work with.
- Thanks for the help, everyone.
687
00:38:41,127 --> 00:38:45,120
- Are you coming next door for a drink?
- Soon as I scrape the makeup off.
688
00:38:45,287 --> 00:38:46,640
You son of a bitch.
689
00:38:46,807 --> 00:38:48,399
- Very nice.
- You sandbagged.
690
00:38:48,567 --> 00:38:50,239
Get a head start on that drink?
691
00:38:50,407 --> 00:38:52,125
Didn't you?
692
00:38:52,287 --> 00:38:54,323
You're not smirking.
693
00:38:54,487 --> 00:38:56,125
- What was all this about?
- The truth?
694
00:38:56,287 --> 00:38:57,686
- Yeah.
- I was really that lost.
695
00:38:57,847 --> 00:39:00,566
- Oh, come on.
- Couching answers in tame sound bites.
696
00:39:00,727 --> 00:39:03,321
When Josh wouldn't show me that tape?
Scared me to death.
697
00:39:03,527 --> 00:39:06,041
- So I leaked it.
- You did?
698
00:39:06,207 --> 00:39:08,323
I was worried he was so worried,
he wouldn't.
699
00:39:08,487 --> 00:39:10,921
You called up reporters, said,
"Hey, Leo McGarry here.
700
00:39:11,087 --> 00:39:12,918
Letting you know,
I'm one sucky debater."
701
00:39:13,087 --> 00:39:15,203
I covered my tracks.
I've been at this a while.
702
00:39:15,367 --> 00:39:17,961
- Let a few think it was you.
- Wasn't the voice a tip-off?
703
00:39:18,127 --> 00:39:22,166
Not enough helium in the cosmos.
So I borrowed your e-mail account.
704
00:39:22,327 --> 00:39:24,363
- Excuse me?
- Never use your cat's name...
705
00:39:24,527 --> 00:39:26,324
...as your password.
- I gotta get back.
706
00:39:26,487 --> 00:39:28,603
- I just wanna say good going.
- Got through it.
707
00:39:28,767 --> 00:39:31,327
- You did better than that.
- Never make me do this again.
708
00:39:31,487 --> 00:39:34,285
In four years. Book it.
I'll see you at the thing.
709
00:39:34,447 --> 00:39:37,041
If you'll excuse me too,
I have a password to change.
710
00:39:39,447 --> 00:39:42,325
- So see you in Phoenix on Thursday.
- I'll be there.
711
00:39:42,487 --> 00:39:44,876
I hear that the hotel's
got this waterslide.
712
00:39:45,047 --> 00:39:47,641
I will pack a Victorian bathing dress.
713
00:39:47,807 --> 00:39:50,879
- I meant for the...
- I know what you meant.
714
00:39:51,767 --> 00:39:54,725
It's not a good idea
that they go swimming with the colds.
715
00:39:54,887 --> 00:39:56,923
Yeah, probably not.
716
00:39:59,687 --> 00:40:01,598
- I miss them like crazy.
- I know you do.
717
00:40:01,767 --> 00:40:03,325
I miss... I miss you too.
718
00:40:03,527 --> 00:40:06,599
- I'll be there in Phoenix.
- Yeah?
719
00:40:35,087 --> 00:40:38,159
McGarry did all he needed to do:
Exceed expectations.
720
00:40:38,327 --> 00:40:40,841
How couldn't he, the way
the Democrats spun the run-up?
721
00:40:41,007 --> 00:40:44,716
And we fall for it every time, reviewing
the spin instead of the substance.
722
00:40:44,887 --> 00:40:46,878
Substance? In a debate?
723
00:40:47,047 --> 00:40:49,481
I'd be surprised if this debate
changed anyone's mind.
724
00:40:49,647 --> 00:40:52,639
Well, arguably the best outcome
for the vice-presidential debate.
725
00:40:52,807 --> 00:40:56,436
At least, don 't send the voters
running into the arms of the other guys.
726
00:41:08,367 --> 00:41:11,598
- Bless you, senator.
- Thank you.
727
00:41:50,447 --> 00:41:52,438
