Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,139 --> 00:00:06,807
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:06,807 --> 00:00:07,941
What did they offer?
3
00:00:07,941 --> 00:00:08,809
Censure?
4
00:00:08,809 --> 00:00:09,843
Yeah.
5
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:11,112
History forgets these things.
6
00:00:11,112 --> 00:00:13,081
Presidents don't.
7
00:00:13,081 --> 00:00:14,548
They never
get over it.
8
00:00:14,548 --> 00:00:15,749
This one won't.
9
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:17,085
I don't think
it's such a good idea
10
00:00:17,085 --> 00:00:17,951
to be casual about the truth.
11
00:00:17,951 --> 00:00:19,253
Neither do I.
12
00:00:19,253 --> 00:00:20,521
Why can't you pick up a phone
and say
13
00:00:20,521 --> 00:00:21,955
"Would you like to go out
sometime?"
14
00:00:21,955 --> 00:00:23,324
PRESIDENT:
No one in government
15
00:00:23,324 --> 00:00:26,094
takes responsibility
for anything anymore.
16
00:00:26,094 --> 00:00:27,661
I'm to blame.
17
00:00:27,661 --> 00:00:29,563
I was wrong.
18
00:00:35,136 --> 00:00:37,738
PRESIDENT:
We stand at a critical point--
19
00:00:37,738 --> 00:00:39,740
a time of choosing.
20
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:42,610
If we take the hard course,
the right course
21
00:00:42,610 --> 00:00:46,380
there is no limit
to what we can achieve.
22
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:49,150
There is no limit
to what we will achieve.
23
00:00:49,150 --> 00:00:51,685
( applause )
24
00:00:56,257 --> 00:00:59,293
The dials go
from zero to 100.
25
00:00:59,293 --> 00:01:02,096
They dial up if they
like what he's saying.
26
00:01:02,096 --> 00:01:03,664
They dial down if they don't.
27
00:01:03,664 --> 00:01:05,966
All the numbers lead
to a central computer.
28
00:01:05,966 --> 00:01:07,435
Like the Nielsens.
29
00:01:07,435 --> 00:01:08,569
Yeah.
30
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:10,204
They're behind
a screen somewhere?
31
00:01:10,204 --> 00:01:11,805
Huh?
The people
with the dials--
32
00:01:11,805 --> 00:01:13,741
they're behind
a screen somewhere?
33
00:01:13,741 --> 00:01:16,144
They're in Macomb Country,
they're in Portland
34
00:01:16,144 --> 00:01:19,113
in Los Feliz, California,
Norman, Oklahoma.
35
00:01:19,113 --> 00:01:21,115
Joey puts together
a decent snapshot.
36
00:01:21,115 --> 00:01:22,550
Which one's Joey?
37
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:23,651
Kenny!
38
00:01:24,485 --> 00:01:26,120
Can we get Joey a second?
39
00:01:30,023 --> 00:01:31,192
When did you pick that up?
40
00:01:31,192 --> 00:01:32,360
I just said thanks.
41
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,128
Could he go easy
with the pictures?
42
00:01:34,128 --> 00:01:34,995
You said it wouldn't
be a problem.
43
00:01:34,995 --> 00:01:36,297
When did I say that?
44
00:01:36,297 --> 00:01:38,566
C.J. Cregg said
it wouldn't be a problem.
45
00:01:41,202 --> 00:01:43,404
Joey, this is
Lisa Sherborne.
46
00:01:43,404 --> 00:01:45,506
She's doing a piece
for Vanity Fair.
47
00:01:45,506 --> 00:01:48,342
I don't have a lot
of time right now.
48
00:01:48,342 --> 00:01:50,178
What do the different
lines mean?
49
00:01:50,178 --> 00:01:53,414
Red's for Republicans,
blue's for Democrats
50
00:01:53,414 --> 00:01:55,115
and green's
for Independents.
51
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:57,718
When we say
something liberal, like...
52
00:01:57,718 --> 00:01:59,220
"Death is bad."
53
00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:03,023
Right-- blues go up
and reds go down.
54
00:02:03,023 --> 00:02:06,760
When we talk about values,
reds and greens go up.
55
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,930
You're usually lucky
to break 65.
56
00:02:09,930 --> 00:02:11,665
I got to get back now.
57
00:02:14,034 --> 00:02:16,837
I have abiding respect
for the Speaker of the House
58
00:02:16,837 --> 00:02:18,806
and the Majority Leader.
59
00:02:18,806 --> 00:02:21,242
They are men
of fundamental decency
60
00:02:21,242 --> 00:02:23,277
and public servants of purpose.
61
00:02:23,277 --> 00:02:24,612
LISA:
How much of this
did you write?
62
00:02:24,612 --> 00:02:26,480
We don't really
talk about that.
63
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,249
You think there's anything
you're going to talk about
64
00:02:28,249 --> 00:02:29,116
or is this going to be
65
00:02:29,116 --> 00:02:30,318
an extraction?
66
00:02:30,318 --> 00:02:32,620
...to the men and women
of both chambers
67
00:02:32,620 --> 00:02:36,089
who have labored to shed
the weight of partisanship
68
00:02:36,089 --> 00:02:37,725
and donned
the cloak of progress.
69
00:02:37,725 --> 00:02:39,727
The lines don't seem
to be doing much.
70
00:02:39,727 --> 00:02:40,861
Hang on.
71
00:02:40,861 --> 00:02:44,365
It may be said that
in the last half century
72
00:02:44,365 --> 00:02:45,933
America won the Cold War
73
00:02:45,933 --> 00:02:48,736
and modeled freedom
for a waiting world.
74
00:02:48,736 --> 00:02:52,273
Breaking out
the greatest hits, huh?
75
00:02:52,273 --> 00:02:54,208
Now, in a new century
76
00:02:54,208 --> 00:02:55,709
when we meet and master
77
00:02:55,709 --> 00:02:59,480
new forms of aggression
and hatred, ignorance and evil
78
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,883
our vigilance in
the face of oppression
79
00:03:02,883 --> 00:03:06,153
and global terror
will be unequaled
80
00:03:06,153 --> 00:03:08,989
by any moment in human history.
81
00:03:08,989 --> 00:03:10,858
( applause )
82
00:03:10,858 --> 00:03:14,362
Now you're cooking.
83
00:03:14,362 --> 00:03:16,464
And to the enemies of freedom
84
00:03:16,464 --> 00:03:19,500
the enemies of democracy,
the enemies of America
85
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:21,935
the enemies of humanity itself
86
00:03:21,935 --> 00:03:26,574
we say here tonight
with one voice
87
00:03:26,574 --> 00:03:30,511
there is no corner of this earth
so remote, no cave so dark
88
00:03:30,511 --> 00:03:32,446
that you will not be found
89
00:03:32,446 --> 00:03:35,383
and brought to light and ended.
90
00:03:35,383 --> 00:03:37,217
( applause )
91
00:03:37,217 --> 00:03:39,152
That's a numbers spike.
92
00:03:39,152 --> 00:03:40,354
Hey, crank that up.
93
00:03:40,354 --> 00:03:42,456
You broke 65
on all the lines.
94
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:51,665
We nearly had one
almost as big.
95
00:03:51,665 --> 00:03:52,333
What?
96
00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:53,334
I said we nearly
97
00:03:53,334 --> 00:03:54,368
had one almost as big.
98
00:03:54,368 --> 00:03:55,903
What was it?
99
00:03:55,903 --> 00:03:57,305
We almost cured cancer.
100
00:03:57,305 --> 00:03:59,307
Really.
101
00:03:59,307 --> 00:04:01,108
This close.
102
00:04:01,108 --> 00:04:02,410
What happened?
103
00:04:02,410 --> 00:04:04,345
Just one of those things.
104
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:05,005
Can I help you, ma'am?
105
00:05:05,005 --> 00:05:06,974
Glass of chardonnay, please.
106
00:05:09,677 --> 00:05:10,944
Hey, Amy.
107
00:05:10,944 --> 00:05:13,013
Are you talking to me?
108
00:05:13,013 --> 00:05:14,114
Yes.
109
00:05:14,114 --> 00:05:15,048
What did I say
about that?
110
00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:16,116
You said not to talk to you.
111
00:05:16,116 --> 00:05:17,618
Yet, you're
doing it anyway.
112
00:05:17,618 --> 00:05:19,252
Yes, I am.
You're doing it again.
113
00:05:19,252 --> 00:05:20,754
Look...
You're still doing it.
114
00:05:20,754 --> 00:05:22,356
Amy...
I'm walking away now.
115
00:05:25,993 --> 00:05:29,430
Ice and vodka, please.
116
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:31,164
MAN:
Sam Seaborn!
117
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:32,132
( applause )
118
00:05:32,132 --> 00:05:34,468
Thank you.
119
00:05:34,468 --> 00:05:36,103
Thank you.
120
00:05:36,103 --> 00:05:38,138
I am at Ha Ha's in Cleveland
on the 16th
121
00:05:38,138 --> 00:05:39,206
and tip your waitresses.
122
00:05:39,206 --> 00:05:40,474
Sam.
123
00:05:41,141 --> 00:05:42,309
Congratulations.
124
00:05:42,309 --> 00:05:43,343
Hey, you, too.
125
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:44,545
So far so good, huh?
126
00:05:44,545 --> 00:05:45,879
The dials are
what we thought.
127
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:47,147
We'll wait for
the overnights.
128
00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:48,549
Lisa.
Josh.
129
00:05:48,549 --> 00:05:50,918
Still trying to get waived
into Generation X?
130
00:05:50,918 --> 00:05:52,252
Still a pompous jackass?
131
00:05:52,252 --> 00:05:53,754
Oh, you betcha.
132
00:05:53,754 --> 00:05:54,788
See you later.
133
00:05:59,126 --> 00:06:00,394
Tell me about
the cancer thing.
134
00:06:00,394 --> 00:06:01,995
It got cut.
135
00:06:01,995 --> 00:06:03,363
Jack Daniels.
136
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:04,732
You were going
to cure cancer?
137
00:06:04,732 --> 00:06:06,834
We were going to say
we were going to cure cancer.
138
00:06:06,834 --> 00:06:08,001
Curing it is
someone else's department.
139
00:06:08,001 --> 00:06:08,869
How does that work?
140
00:06:08,869 --> 00:06:09,837
How does what work?
141
00:06:09,837 --> 00:06:11,271
Deciding what
you're going to say?
142
00:06:11,271 --> 00:06:13,841
You mean, writing
the State of the Union?
143
00:06:13,841 --> 00:06:15,208
Yeah.
144
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:16,644
It's a long story.
145
00:06:16,644 --> 00:06:17,878
I'm writing a long story.
146
00:06:17,878 --> 00:06:20,213
Do you do any kind
of preparation
147
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:22,315
before you come to report...
148
00:06:22,315 --> 00:06:23,316
I prefer to...
149
00:06:23,316 --> 00:06:24,552
Hang out at Moomba?
150
00:06:28,589 --> 00:06:31,425
The process begins six weeks
beforehand with budget meetings.
151
00:06:31,425 --> 00:06:32,726
Why budget meetings?
152
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:34,394
'Cause if we're
introducing a new idea
153
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:36,029
people are going
to want to know
154
00:06:36,029 --> 00:06:37,164
how we pay for it.
155
00:06:37,164 --> 00:06:38,265
Memos are written--
156
00:06:38,265 --> 00:06:39,199
they come from everywhere.
157
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:40,468
Every agency, department
158
00:06:40,468 --> 00:06:42,035
senior advisor,
outside notable.
159
00:06:42,035 --> 00:06:43,604
What's an
outside notable?
160
00:06:43,604 --> 00:06:44,605
Former presidents,
Henry Kissinger
161
00:06:44,605 --> 00:06:46,273
Bill Gates, Jesse Jackson--
162
00:06:46,273 --> 00:06:48,275
Mr. Rogers wants to write us
a memo, we'll read it.
163
00:06:48,275 --> 00:06:50,043
We'll pass some of them
on to the President
164
00:06:50,043 --> 00:06:51,945
and he'll start making notes
in the margins.
165
00:06:51,945 --> 00:06:54,948
Then we have the "President's
First Thoughts" meeting.
166
00:06:54,948 --> 00:06:57,485
That's when we all
want to kill ourselves.
167
00:06:57,485 --> 00:06:58,919
Why?
168
00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:00,353
'Cause that's
when the President
169
00:07:00,353 --> 00:07:01,221
tells us we're nowhere.
170
00:07:01,221 --> 00:07:02,289
Why?
171
00:07:02,289 --> 00:07:03,824
'Cause we're nowhere.
172
00:07:03,824 --> 00:07:05,493
So we try to figure out
what people want to hear
173
00:07:05,493 --> 00:07:06,994
and that's when anybody
174
00:07:06,994 --> 00:07:08,596
who didn't want
to kill themselves before
175
00:07:08,596 --> 00:07:09,497
has certainly been converted
to the cult.
176
00:07:09,497 --> 00:07:10,998
Why is it so hard?
177
00:07:10,998 --> 00:07:13,133
'Cause it's
a white piece of paper.
178
00:07:13,133 --> 00:07:14,134
How high are the stakes?
179
00:07:14,134 --> 00:07:15,302
How high can you count?
180
00:07:15,302 --> 00:07:17,004
So what do you do?
181
00:07:17,004 --> 00:07:19,206
Whatever it takes
to get started.
182
00:07:19,206 --> 00:07:22,843
And we read new memos,
and we try new themes
183
00:07:22,843 --> 00:07:24,812
and we hear new slogans
and we test new lines
184
00:07:24,812 --> 00:07:26,446
and after a few weeks
of that...
185
00:07:28,015 --> 00:07:30,283
we've still got
a white piece of paper.
186
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:31,351
So it's hard.
187
00:07:31,351 --> 00:07:32,486
Hmm?
188
00:07:32,486 --> 00:07:33,921
It's hard.
189
00:07:33,921 --> 00:07:36,890
It's hard under
the best of circumstances.
190
00:07:36,890 --> 00:07:38,926
Obviously, it got a little
harder two weeks ago.
191
00:07:38,926 --> 00:07:41,094
What happened
two weeks ago?
192
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:45,298
Congress censured the President.
193
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:46,299
Yes.
194
00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:48,636
Good morning.
195
00:07:53,674 --> 00:07:55,142
What's going on?
196
00:07:55,142 --> 00:07:57,678
Late last night, early
this morning, the President
197
00:07:57,678 --> 00:07:59,146
reached an agreement
with the Leadership
198
00:07:59,146 --> 00:08:01,481
to accept
a Congressional Censure.
199
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,862
C.J.:
How's he feeling?
200
00:08:14,862 --> 00:08:15,563
Hmm?
201
00:08:15,563 --> 00:08:16,730
How's he feeling?
202
00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:19,399
Fine. It's over.
203
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:21,569
Joint Resolution?
204
00:08:21,569 --> 00:08:24,738
Yeah. A Concurrent Resolution,
actually.
205
00:08:26,907 --> 00:08:28,241
It'll take a couple of days
206
00:08:28,241 --> 00:08:30,711
for the lawyers to get together
on the language.
207
00:08:30,711 --> 00:08:32,580
We should leak it
in the meantime
208
00:08:32,580 --> 00:08:34,548
soften up the ground.
Yeah.
209
00:08:34,548 --> 00:08:35,583
He's all right?
210
00:08:35,583 --> 00:08:37,184
He's about to be censured
211
00:08:37,184 --> 00:08:39,720
and then he's going to deliver
the State of the Union
212
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,454
and then he's going to run
for re-election.
213
00:08:41,454 --> 00:08:44,191
My guess is that there are
some things on his mind.
214
00:08:49,229 --> 00:08:51,298
It's over.
215
00:08:51,298 --> 00:08:54,802
That's all.
216
00:08:54,802 --> 00:08:57,004
Thank you.
Thank you.
217
00:09:17,791 --> 00:09:19,727
This is like
the Civil War.
218
00:09:19,727 --> 00:09:20,894
When's the last time
219
00:09:20,894 --> 00:09:23,230
Congress rebuked
a sitting president?
220
00:09:23,230 --> 00:09:24,765
The Civil War.
221
00:09:24,765 --> 00:09:26,133
And now, how do you...
222
00:09:26,133 --> 00:09:28,068
Yeah.
223
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:29,770
Should we postpone
the State of the Union?
224
00:09:29,770 --> 00:09:31,071
What are the rules on that?
225
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:33,506
He's required to give
Congress information
226
00:09:33,506 --> 00:09:34,775
on the State of the Union.
227
00:09:34,775 --> 00:09:36,076
If he buys Congress
228
00:09:36,076 --> 00:09:38,779
a subscription to the
Wall Street Journal
229
00:09:38,779 --> 00:09:40,914
he's fulfilled
his Constitutional...
230
00:09:40,914 --> 00:09:42,683
Postponing or canceling's
an admission of defeat.
231
00:09:42,683 --> 00:09:43,984
He's accepting a censure.
232
00:09:43,984 --> 00:09:44,985
That is defeat,
and you don't ask
233
00:09:44,985 --> 00:09:46,319
the school bully
out to lunch
234
00:09:46,319 --> 00:09:47,955
the day after he stole
your lunch money.
235
00:09:47,955 --> 00:09:50,157
You don't go on
a starvation diet, either.
236
00:09:50,157 --> 00:09:51,424
And we can spin
237
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:52,926
the censure as a bipartisan...
238
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:54,394
You can't spin
a formal denunciation
239
00:09:54,394 --> 00:09:56,263
from the legislative branch--
it spins itself.
240
00:09:56,263 --> 00:09:57,665
I don't...
241
00:09:57,665 --> 00:09:59,099
It's our biggest press
hit of the year
242
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:01,034
our biggest pre-convention
campaign exposure.
243
00:10:01,034 --> 00:10:03,336
I don't know how you make
a formal report to Congress
244
00:10:03,336 --> 00:10:04,938
when Congress just
called you a liar.
245
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:07,875
I say we strap a polygraph
onto the TelePrompTer.
246
00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:13,914
Humor--
to lighten the load.
247
00:10:13,914 --> 00:10:17,050
I recommended
that he take the censure
248
00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:19,052
and if any of you had been
on the inside
249
00:10:19,052 --> 00:10:20,721
you'd have recommended it, too.
250
00:10:20,721 --> 00:10:21,855
How does he deliver
251
00:10:21,855 --> 00:10:23,323
the State of the Union
in two weeks?
252
00:10:23,323 --> 00:10:25,625
He's the President
of the United States.
253
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:27,560
When he walks
into the House Chamber
254
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,396
they're all
going to stand up.
255
00:10:29,396 --> 00:10:30,698
Anyone here not believe
256
00:10:30,698 --> 00:10:32,966
this President can take it
from there?
257
00:10:33,867 --> 00:10:35,703
I still got my lunch money.
258
00:10:38,171 --> 00:10:39,539
Toby? Sam?
259
00:10:39,539 --> 00:10:41,374
You got to dig in.
260
00:10:47,214 --> 00:10:49,750
Anything else?
261
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:51,752
( chuckling )
262
00:10:56,223 --> 00:10:57,090
All right.
263
00:10:59,226 --> 00:11:00,593
Hey, Sam.
264
00:11:00,593 --> 00:11:02,095
Yes?
265
00:11:02,095 --> 00:11:03,330
Well argued.
266
00:11:03,330 --> 00:11:05,398
Yeah.
267
00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:06,767
What do you want?
268
00:11:06,767 --> 00:11:08,435
What kind of
attitude is that?
C.J....
269
00:11:08,435 --> 00:11:10,804
Vanity Fair's pitching
my office a story on you.
270
00:11:10,804 --> 00:11:11,839
What's the angle?
271
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:12,973
They want to do a profile
272
00:11:12,973 --> 00:11:14,241
and they want
to start the reporting
273
00:11:14,241 --> 00:11:16,009
on the night of
the State of the Union.
274
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:18,211
Why don't they just cover
the State of the Union?
275
00:11:18,211 --> 00:11:20,013
This is their way
of doing that.
276
00:11:20,013 --> 00:11:22,649
The thing is...
you know the writer.
277
00:11:22,649 --> 00:11:24,651
Who?
Lisa Sherborne.
278
00:11:24,651 --> 00:11:26,820
That's funny, 'cause
I used to be engaged
279
00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:28,355
to someone named
Lisa Sherborne.
280
00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:29,656
Isn't it funny?
281
00:11:29,656 --> 00:11:31,825
I'm not doing it.
I'd like you to.
282
00:11:33,927 --> 00:11:36,396
What happened to rule
number one on staff profiles
283
00:11:36,396 --> 00:11:38,598
being that we don't
do staff profiles?
284
00:11:38,598 --> 00:11:39,532
When did we have that rule?
285
00:11:39,532 --> 00:11:40,600
We should have that rule.
286
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,035
Keep the focus
on the President.
287
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:43,937
People should think he writes
the State of the Union.
288
00:11:43,937 --> 00:11:46,106
I think people
know about speechwriters.
289
00:11:46,106 --> 00:11:48,475
Then there's
no more story to tell.
290
00:11:48,475 --> 00:11:49,977
In the past-- you tell me--
291
00:11:49,977 --> 00:11:51,979
did it help or hurt
that the campaign
292
00:11:51,979 --> 00:11:53,947
had a youthful
and energetic energy?
293
00:11:53,947 --> 00:11:55,715
I'm not sure you can say
"energetic energy."
294
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:56,984
Did it help or hurt?
It helped.
295
00:11:56,984 --> 00:11:58,085
Do we need help right now?
296
00:11:58,085 --> 00:11:59,186
Do young women
read Vanity Fair?
297
00:11:59,186 --> 00:12:01,021
So let them cover the President.
298
00:12:01,021 --> 00:12:02,455
They do cover the President.
299
00:12:02,455 --> 00:12:03,490
Right now, they want you
300
00:12:03,490 --> 00:12:06,093
and I want
to give you to them.
301
00:12:06,093 --> 00:12:07,995
It's got to be Lisa Sherborne?
302
00:12:07,995 --> 00:12:10,397
Hey, is the reason you guys
didn't get married
303
00:12:10,397 --> 00:12:13,366
'cause her name would've been
Lisa Sherborne Seaborn?
304
00:12:13,366 --> 00:12:16,636
Yeah, that's the reason.
305
00:12:16,636 --> 00:12:19,306
I could do this for a living.
306
00:12:37,891 --> 00:12:38,758
Do you have anything?
307
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:39,692
No.
308
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:40,660
I don't believe you.
309
00:12:40,660 --> 00:12:42,362
I don't have anything.
310
00:12:42,362 --> 00:12:44,397
If you didn't have anything
you wouldn't be down here
311
00:12:44,397 --> 00:12:45,598
at the party.
312
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:46,699
I like parties.
313
00:12:46,699 --> 00:12:47,935
What do you have?
314
00:12:47,935 --> 00:12:49,536
I have the first 20 minutes.
315
00:12:49,536 --> 00:12:50,871
Okay.
316
00:12:50,871 --> 00:12:52,305
You don't want
the first 20 minutes.
317
00:12:52,305 --> 00:12:53,173
Why?
318
00:12:53,173 --> 00:12:54,674
Sam... hi.
319
00:12:54,674 --> 00:12:55,642
Hi.
320
00:12:55,642 --> 00:12:57,444
I just need a minute, okay?
321
00:12:57,444 --> 00:12:58,678
I can wait.
322
00:12:58,678 --> 00:12:59,847
I need you to wait over there.
323
00:12:59,847 --> 00:13:02,082
Okay.
324
00:13:08,255 --> 00:13:10,157
Why don't I want
the first 20 minutes?
325
00:13:10,157 --> 00:13:12,725
It's what we expected
it would be.
326
00:13:12,725 --> 00:13:13,927
Tell me.
327
00:13:13,927 --> 00:13:15,528
It was the censure--
people saw it...
328
00:13:15,528 --> 00:13:16,763
Just tell me.
329
00:13:16,763 --> 00:13:20,400
Democrats, low to mid 50s.
330
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,335
Republicans, high 30s.
331
00:13:22,335 --> 00:13:23,703
Independents?
332
00:13:23,703 --> 00:13:25,105
Low 40s.
333
00:13:25,105 --> 00:13:26,506
You are kidding me.
334
00:13:26,506 --> 00:13:27,540
Sam...
Low 40s?
335
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:29,076
We knew the first 20 minutes...
336
00:13:29,076 --> 00:13:31,244
Ten minutes-- you said ten
minutes and not this bad.
337
00:13:31,244 --> 00:13:33,313
Wait for the rest of the dials.
338
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:35,916
We did Internet commerce
in the first 20 minutes.
339
00:13:35,916 --> 00:13:37,417
We did child asthma...
340
00:13:37,417 --> 00:13:40,954
He wasn't the President
in the first 20 minutes.
341
00:13:40,954 --> 00:13:44,057
Wait for the rest
of the dial groups.
342
00:13:44,057 --> 00:13:46,226
Top line, cross-tabs,
whatever you get
343
00:13:46,226 --> 00:13:48,428
I've got a bad feeling
about tonight.
344
00:13:58,638 --> 00:14:00,307
Were those polling numbers?
345
00:14:00,307 --> 00:14:01,008
No.
346
00:14:01,008 --> 00:14:02,142
What was that about?
347
00:14:02,142 --> 00:14:03,977
It was polling numbers
348
00:14:03,977 --> 00:14:05,545
but it was... it was nothing.
349
00:14:08,015 --> 00:14:09,116
How does it look?
350
00:14:09,116 --> 00:14:11,418
It's too early to tell.
351
00:14:17,657 --> 00:14:19,859
( people conversing )
352
00:14:26,967 --> 00:14:28,668
( chuckling ):
Sam.
353
00:14:28,668 --> 00:14:30,503
Congratulations.
You, too.
354
00:14:30,503 --> 00:14:34,241
Ed, Larry, this is
Lisa Sherborne from Vanity Fair.
355
00:14:34,241 --> 00:14:36,709
Which one's Ed,
which one's Larry?
356
00:14:36,709 --> 00:14:38,912
ED AND LARRY:
Doesn't matter.
357
00:14:38,912 --> 00:14:40,914
Joey went back
to the office.
358
00:14:40,914 --> 00:14:42,983
Thank you.
359
00:14:42,983 --> 00:14:45,185
You don't have to introduce me
360
00:14:45,185 --> 00:14:47,487
as Lisa Sherborne
from Vanity Fair.
361
00:14:47,487 --> 00:14:49,756
I like to let them
know they're talking
to a reporter.
362
00:14:49,756 --> 00:14:53,093
You really are uncomfortable
with me being here, right?
363
00:14:53,093 --> 00:14:55,295
You're not just,
you know, being you?
364
00:14:55,295 --> 00:14:57,330
I don't know what that means.
365
00:14:57,330 --> 00:15:00,300
How did curing cancer get cut
from the State of the Union?
366
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:02,435
A lot of things get cut.
Curing cancer?
367
00:15:02,435 --> 00:15:04,704
Hey, we had to cut a
section about making
government manuals
368
00:15:04,704 --> 00:15:06,940
easier to read, so curing
cancer can take a number.
369
00:15:06,940 --> 00:15:08,908
Why are you pissed at me?
370
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:11,478
I'm not pissed at you.
I'm working.
371
00:15:11,478 --> 00:15:12,245
You're done working.
372
00:15:12,245 --> 00:15:13,880
I'm not done working.
373
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,084
You're confused because you
see Absolut Cosmopolitans
374
00:15:17,084 --> 00:15:18,618
and famous people.
375
00:15:18,618 --> 00:15:19,852
( laughs softly )
376
00:15:19,852 --> 00:15:23,523
A section
on government manuals.
377
00:15:23,523 --> 00:15:25,125
Donna?
Yeah?
378
00:15:25,125 --> 00:15:27,427
Can you get me the most
recent memo from the DPC
379
00:15:27,427 --> 00:15:29,329
on the welfare-to-work
initiatives?
380
00:15:29,329 --> 00:15:30,663
Yeah.
381
00:15:32,732 --> 00:15:34,934
I'm seeing Amy again tonight.
382
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:36,803
A second date?
383
00:15:36,803 --> 00:15:37,971
First date, really.
384
00:15:37,971 --> 00:15:40,107
Last night was more
of a, you know...
385
00:15:40,107 --> 00:15:42,109
Scheme.
Yeah.
386
00:15:42,109 --> 00:15:43,576
Good, 'cause the
second date's usually
387
00:15:43,576 --> 00:15:45,778
where the wheels come
off the wagon for you.
388
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:47,814
That is so false.
389
00:15:47,814 --> 00:15:50,750
What are you doing?
A late drink.
390
00:15:50,750 --> 00:15:53,953
Where are you going?
Wilson's.
391
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:55,188
I like that place.
392
00:15:55,188 --> 00:15:57,090
I don't.
Why?
393
00:15:57,090 --> 00:16:00,560
Well, for one thing,
the piano player only
seems to know one song.
394
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,594
Which song?
395
00:16:01,594 --> 00:16:03,730
"Little things with
fur better hurry..."
396
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:05,632
"Chicks and ducks and geese
better scurry"?
397
00:16:05,632 --> 00:16:07,534
Okay.
"Surrey With
the Fringe on Top."
398
00:16:07,534 --> 00:16:09,602
Whatever. It's like
I'm on a hay ride.
399
00:16:09,602 --> 00:16:10,703
What are you doing?
400
00:16:10,703 --> 00:16:12,539
I'm trying to figure out
if you have to pay
401
00:16:12,539 --> 00:16:13,773
for the plane ticket
to Phoenix.
402
00:16:13,773 --> 00:16:15,075
It was official travel.
403
00:16:15,075 --> 00:16:16,609
Yeah, well, that
doesn't really...
404
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:17,677
What does the rule say?
405
00:16:17,677 --> 00:16:19,279
( sighs )
406
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:20,647
"An employee may not use
407
00:16:20,647 --> 00:16:22,949
"contract airline/rail passenger
service
408
00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:24,451
"provided under the contract
409
00:16:24,451 --> 00:16:26,586
"with the General Services
Administration--
410
00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:30,257
see part 301-15, subpart B,
of this chapter."
411
00:16:30,257 --> 00:16:31,724
What's the problem?
412
00:16:31,724 --> 00:16:33,626
Let's set aside
that there's no subpart B.
413
00:16:33,626 --> 00:16:35,295
The rest of it uses
a sentence structure
414
00:16:35,295 --> 00:16:36,529
with which I'm not familiar.
415
00:16:36,529 --> 00:16:38,731
Just put it on
my credit card.
No. See?
416
00:16:38,731 --> 00:16:40,600
I think that's what
this is designed to do.
417
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,502
I think it's designed
to break a person's spirit.
418
00:16:42,502 --> 00:16:44,003
And damn it, that's my job.
419
00:16:44,003 --> 00:16:45,605
We're getting beat
by the system.
420
00:16:45,605 --> 00:16:47,274
We are the system.
We suck.
421
00:16:47,274 --> 00:16:49,776
Yes. I need
the welfare-to-work memo.
422
00:16:50,777 --> 00:16:52,312
How many words
423
00:16:52,312 --> 00:16:53,846
in the Gettysburg Address?
424
00:16:53,846 --> 00:16:55,115
266.
425
00:16:55,115 --> 00:16:56,549
And the Ten Commandments?
426
00:16:56,549 --> 00:16:57,784
173.
427
00:16:57,784 --> 00:16:59,686
So you really wouldn't think
you'd need 6,000
428
00:16:59,686 --> 00:17:01,821
to discover how a plane ticket
gets reimbursed.
429
00:17:01,821 --> 00:17:03,590
No.
No.
430
00:17:24,010 --> 00:17:26,746
What's going on?
431
00:17:26,746 --> 00:17:28,515
Welfare-to-work.
432
00:17:33,420 --> 00:17:35,855
I was happy when
you said this morning
433
00:17:35,855 --> 00:17:37,757
that you recommended
the censure.
434
00:17:37,757 --> 00:17:40,593
Your face didn't register much.
I'm thinking
about the speech.
435
00:17:40,593 --> 00:17:42,329
I figured.
Don't ask me
how it's going.
436
00:17:42,329 --> 00:17:43,530
I wouldn't.
It's in the
larva stage.
437
00:17:43,530 --> 00:17:45,165
You can't rush
these things.
438
00:17:45,165 --> 00:17:48,067
It's not like putting
a hammer to a nail.
439
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:50,337
I need some pie.
440
00:17:52,339 --> 00:17:53,706
You should go get some.
441
00:17:58,278 --> 00:17:59,846
Come with me.
442
00:18:01,881 --> 00:18:03,350
Okay.
443
00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:06,052
But don't ask me
about the speech.
444
00:18:06,052 --> 00:18:07,854
Wouldn't do it.
445
00:18:15,995 --> 00:18:17,997
How'd it end up going
last night.
446
00:18:17,997 --> 00:18:19,666
With Amy Gardner?
Yeah.
447
00:18:19,666 --> 00:18:21,534
Very, very well.
448
00:18:21,534 --> 00:18:23,736
Here's the memo.
Thank you.
449
00:18:25,872 --> 00:18:27,640
You know
Amy's seeing somebody.
450
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,842
I do know that.
451
00:18:29,842 --> 00:18:31,144
You know who?
452
00:18:31,144 --> 00:18:32,812
No, and I don't
want to know.
453
00:18:32,812 --> 00:18:35,748
Yes, now that you
mention it, who?
454
00:18:35,748 --> 00:18:37,684
John Tandy.
Really?
455
00:18:37,684 --> 00:18:40,086
Yeah.
456
00:18:40,086 --> 00:18:42,355
Really?
Yes.
457
00:18:44,023 --> 00:18:45,825
Interesting.
458
00:18:45,825 --> 00:18:48,661
Yeah.
Interesting, and
I'll tell you why.
459
00:18:48,661 --> 00:18:50,897
Why?
460
00:18:50,897 --> 00:18:54,501
Because John Tandy is a...
461
00:18:54,501 --> 00:18:56,569
I'll tell you
why, seriously.
Why?
462
00:18:56,569 --> 00:18:58,505
'Cause they started
seeing each other
463
00:18:58,505 --> 00:19:00,307
shortly after
Nan Lieberman announced
464
00:19:00,307 --> 00:19:04,744
she was going to make
a primary challenge
in the 20th district.
465
00:19:04,744 --> 00:19:06,145
Really?
Yeah.
466
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:07,847
Ah-so.
467
00:19:07,847 --> 00:19:10,049
I don't think
he's courting Amy Gardner;
468
00:19:10,049 --> 00:19:12,785
I think he's courting women.
469
00:19:12,785 --> 00:19:14,787
I don't think
you're right.
Why?
470
00:19:14,787 --> 00:19:17,457
'Cause that's
ridiculous.
Really?
471
00:19:17,457 --> 00:19:19,125
No, it's not ridiculous.
472
00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:20,660
Of course you're right.
473
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:21,961
( sighs )
474
00:19:21,961 --> 00:19:25,031
Hey, who's the President
having dinner with tonight?
475
00:19:25,031 --> 00:19:26,466
Friends of Abbey.
476
00:19:26,466 --> 00:19:28,468
Good, 'cause when you're
in his kind of mood
477
00:19:28,468 --> 00:19:30,237
having dinner
with your wife's friends
478
00:19:30,237 --> 00:19:31,938
is just what
you're hoping for.
479
00:19:31,938 --> 00:19:33,540
( chamber music playing )
480
00:19:33,540 --> 00:19:36,008
WOMAN:
It's molecular pathology.
481
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:37,310
S.T.I.
482
00:19:37,310 --> 00:19:40,012
That's the Signal
Transduction Inhibitor.
483
00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:41,514
I'm sorry?
484
00:19:41,514 --> 00:19:44,851
S.T.I.-- stands for
Signal Transduction Inhibitor.
485
00:19:44,851 --> 00:19:46,919
Abbey just went
to take a phone call.
486
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:48,888
WOMAN:
We've tested it
on 12 patients.
487
00:19:48,888 --> 00:19:51,991
Is this the first drug
to target sphingosine kinase?
It is, yeah.
488
00:19:51,991 --> 00:19:53,826
Where are you
with the FDA?
489
00:19:53,826 --> 00:19:55,328
The FDA just ruled
they can use higher doses.
490
00:19:55,328 --> 00:19:56,896
WOMAN:
This they did.
491
00:19:56,896 --> 00:19:59,732
MAN:
I'm telling you,
we're ten years, $25 billion
492
00:19:59,732 --> 00:20:02,735
and a good luck charm away
from curing human cancer.
493
00:20:02,735 --> 00:20:04,537
More than $25 billion,
but the point is...
494
00:20:04,537 --> 00:20:06,806
Two, three more breakthroughs
in molecular targeting...
495
00:20:06,806 --> 00:20:09,342
Which is what the Signal
Transduction Inhibitor
is all about.
496
00:20:09,342 --> 00:20:10,977
What did you just say?
497
00:20:12,979 --> 00:20:14,080
Bobby, what did you just say?
498
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,948
We're talking
about a new drug
499
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:18,885
which is a Signal
Transduction Inhibitor.
500
00:20:18,885 --> 00:20:21,754
Sphingosine kinase
was identified recently
501
00:20:21,754 --> 00:20:24,056
as the enzyme
believed to control
502
00:20:24,056 --> 00:20:26,058
all the signal pathways
503
00:20:26,058 --> 00:20:27,560
to cancer growth.
504
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,130
This new drug can act
as a kind of... guided missile.
505
00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:32,164
Smart bomb.
Yeah.
506
00:20:32,164 --> 00:20:33,433
That destroys cancer cells
507
00:20:33,433 --> 00:20:34,967
without killing
the healthy ones.
508
00:20:34,967 --> 00:20:37,404
Right. The part I understood
was Bobby saying
509
00:20:37,404 --> 00:20:39,171
we could cure cancer
in ten years.
510
00:20:39,171 --> 00:20:41,741
Not cure it, but...
make it chronic.
511
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:42,909
In other words
512
00:20:42,909 --> 00:20:44,677
make it so that people
could live with it?
513
00:20:44,677 --> 00:20:45,845
Yeah.
514
00:20:45,845 --> 00:20:48,281
What is standing
between us and that happening?
515
00:20:48,281 --> 00:20:49,449
I don't know.
516
00:20:49,449 --> 00:20:51,551
Who at this table knows?
517
00:20:51,551 --> 00:20:53,286
How much money
would it cost?
518
00:20:53,286 --> 00:20:54,621
Nobody knows that, either.
519
00:20:54,621 --> 00:20:56,055
You just said...
It's cancer.
520
00:20:56,055 --> 00:20:57,457
Nobody knows anything.
521
00:20:57,457 --> 00:20:58,325
He just said ten years.
522
00:20:58,325 --> 00:20:59,492
I want to hear
523
00:20:59,492 --> 00:21:00,993
about this
from the beginning.
524
00:21:00,993 --> 00:21:03,596
Talk to me like
I'm not an oncologist.
525
00:21:06,232 --> 00:21:07,967
I'm not
messing around.
526
00:21:07,967 --> 00:21:09,101
This isn't barbecue night.
527
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:10,470
I'm the Commander in Chief.
528
00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:12,339
Put your asses in the chairs.
529
00:21:48,174 --> 00:21:50,176
I'm out of pie.
530
00:21:50,176 --> 00:21:52,479
We'll get some more.
531
00:21:56,282 --> 00:21:58,985
So, how's it going
on the, uh...
532
00:21:58,985 --> 00:22:00,286
What are you doing?
533
00:22:00,286 --> 00:22:02,755
The economy.
I'm getting somewhere.
534
00:22:02,755 --> 00:22:05,425
I can look at it
when you're ready.
535
00:22:05,425 --> 00:22:07,627
About another two hours.
536
00:22:10,029 --> 00:22:12,432
Lisa's going to do a piece?
537
00:22:12,432 --> 00:22:14,233
It wasn't my idea.
538
00:22:14,233 --> 00:22:15,735
I wouldn't think so.
539
00:22:15,735 --> 00:22:17,970
C.J. asked me
if the reason we
didn't get married
540
00:22:17,970 --> 00:22:20,940
was because her name
would have been Lisa
Sherborne-Seaborn.
541
00:22:20,940 --> 00:22:22,975
That's funny.
542
00:22:22,975 --> 00:22:24,477
Yeah.
543
00:22:27,380 --> 00:22:29,782
So, why didn't you get married?
544
00:22:29,782 --> 00:22:30,917
Hmm?
545
00:22:30,917 --> 00:22:32,685
Why didn't you?
546
00:22:32,685 --> 00:22:35,254
She didn't like me very much.
547
00:22:35,254 --> 00:22:37,490
Ah.
548
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:46,365
Good evening,
Mr. President.
549
00:22:46,365 --> 00:22:48,100
Good evening, sir.
550
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:49,101
I want to call everybody in.
551
00:22:49,101 --> 00:22:50,169
I've just had dinner
552
00:22:50,169 --> 00:22:51,638
with some of
Abbey's friends.
553
00:22:51,638 --> 00:22:52,939
They're all oncologists.
554
00:22:52,939 --> 00:22:54,707
I think in the
State of the Union
555
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:57,309
I can announce that I'm
directing our researchers
556
00:22:57,309 --> 00:22:59,145
to have a cure for
cancer in ten years.
557
00:22:59,145 --> 00:23:00,613
Call everyone in.
558
00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:05,151
This is about the censure.
559
00:23:19,165 --> 00:23:21,934
( piano playing "Surrey
with the Fringe on Top" )
560
00:23:24,370 --> 00:23:26,272
What did you just say?
561
00:23:26,272 --> 00:23:28,841
I said it for
your own good.
562
00:23:28,841 --> 00:23:29,709
Did you?
563
00:23:29,709 --> 00:23:31,110
I did. I like you.
564
00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:33,079
I hate you.
565
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:34,346
Let's look at the facts.
566
00:23:34,346 --> 00:23:35,548
Okay.
567
00:23:35,548 --> 00:23:38,217
He was polling at
69% among Democrats.
568
00:23:38,217 --> 00:23:41,754
And that's all Tandy's
got in his district.
569
00:23:41,754 --> 00:23:43,189
Congressman Tandy.
570
00:23:43,189 --> 00:23:44,624
All right.
571
00:23:44,624 --> 00:23:47,026
He had a 69% favorability
rating with women.
572
00:23:47,026 --> 00:23:50,029
You need 93% favorability
among men to beat that
573
00:23:50,029 --> 00:23:52,665
and Mahatma Gandhi doesn't
get that in the Florida 20th.
574
00:23:52,665 --> 00:23:54,100
Somebody's been studying.
575
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:55,167
When Nan Lieberman announces
576
00:23:55,167 --> 00:23:56,969
that she might challenge him
in the primary
577
00:23:56,969 --> 00:23:58,471
his favorability
goes down to 52%.
578
00:23:58,471 --> 00:23:59,572
You know why?
579
00:23:59,572 --> 00:24:01,708
'Cause you're an idiot?
580
00:24:01,708 --> 00:24:03,175
'Cause women started
going over to Lieberman.
581
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:04,844
Look...
Women's groups
582
00:24:04,844 --> 00:24:07,113
started hedging saying there
aren't enough women in Congress.
583
00:24:07,113 --> 00:24:08,581
Tandy needs women.
584
00:24:08,581 --> 00:24:10,216
NOW hasn't endorsed him yet.
585
00:24:10,216 --> 00:24:11,618
It's January.
586
00:24:11,618 --> 00:24:14,954
Yeah, still, when did he start
going out with you?
587
00:24:14,954 --> 00:24:16,756
A week after
Lieberman announced.
588
00:24:16,756 --> 00:24:19,225
How do you know when
we started going out?
589
00:24:19,225 --> 00:24:20,226
I know everything.
590
00:24:20,226 --> 00:24:22,762
And you are the door to women.
591
00:24:22,762 --> 00:24:24,697
The WLC put $9 million
in the hands
592
00:24:24,697 --> 00:24:25,998
of pro-choice candidates.
593
00:24:25,998 --> 00:24:27,867
You narrowed the gap
in the House
594
00:24:27,867 --> 00:24:29,836
from 14 to nine in one election.
595
00:24:29,836 --> 00:24:31,237
You bring home the bacon.
596
00:24:31,237 --> 00:24:33,405
You think John's worried
about losing women?
597
00:24:33,405 --> 00:24:36,208
He runs and Emily's
List practically
makes a wire transfer.
598
00:24:36,208 --> 00:24:37,710
He crushed his last
opponent in Lauderhill--
599
00:24:37,710 --> 00:24:39,145
I don't even
remember his name--
600
00:24:39,145 --> 00:24:40,847
but he was a moderate,
pro-choice Republican
601
00:24:40,847 --> 00:24:42,982
and there was a 29%
gender differential.
602
00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:44,884
You think he's going
around with me
603
00:24:44,884 --> 00:24:46,853
'cause he's afraid
of Nan Lieberman?
604
00:24:46,853 --> 00:24:47,520
I do.
605
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:48,921
( chuckles )
606
00:24:48,921 --> 00:24:51,524
Well, I've never been
so flattered in my life.
607
00:24:51,524 --> 00:24:53,092
I don't think
I'm getting enough credit
608
00:24:53,092 --> 00:24:55,094
for saying this
for your own good.
609
00:24:55,094 --> 00:24:57,396
Don't talk to me.
610
00:24:57,396 --> 00:24:59,599
Look...
611
00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:01,133
Don't talk to me.
612
00:25:01,133 --> 00:25:02,535
We'll change the...
613
00:25:02,535 --> 00:25:03,936
You're talking to me.
614
00:25:03,936 --> 00:25:07,173
Perhaps...
Don't talk to me.
615
00:25:07,173 --> 00:25:09,542
I should just sit here?
616
00:25:09,542 --> 00:25:10,643
Yes.
617
00:25:10,643 --> 00:25:12,244
And?
Not talk to me.
618
00:25:12,244 --> 00:25:14,046
Amy...
619
00:25:14,046 --> 00:25:16,148
I have wit, I have
charm, I have brains
620
00:25:16,148 --> 00:25:17,316
I have legs that go
621
00:25:17,316 --> 00:25:19,852
all the way down to
the floor, my friend.
622
00:25:19,852 --> 00:25:21,754
You don't have to...
623
00:25:21,754 --> 00:25:23,590
Don't talk to me.
624
00:25:31,798 --> 00:25:33,966
( cell phone rings )
625
00:25:33,966 --> 00:25:34,834
Hello?
626
00:25:34,834 --> 00:25:35,935
TOBY:
Josh?
627
00:25:35,935 --> 00:25:36,769
Yeah.
628
00:25:36,769 --> 00:25:37,970
You got to come back.
629
00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:39,105
Why?
630
00:25:39,105 --> 00:25:40,673
The President thinks
he can cure cancer.
631
00:25:40,673 --> 00:25:44,977
Well, that's some good news,
I guess.
632
00:25:44,977 --> 00:25:47,814
Yeah.
See you in a few minutes.
633
00:25:47,814 --> 00:25:50,917
JOEY:
Did he find a cure for cancer?
634
00:25:50,917 --> 00:25:52,785
'Cause if he found
a cure for cancer
635
00:25:52,785 --> 00:25:54,654
I'd think that would be
interesting.
636
00:25:54,654 --> 00:25:57,156
I'd think that was something
we should share.
637
00:25:57,156 --> 00:25:58,157
Yeah.
638
00:25:58,157 --> 00:25:59,058
But he didn't.
639
00:25:59,058 --> 00:26:00,760
He wants to find
a cure for cancer
640
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,529
and he wants to say that
in the State of the Union.
641
00:26:03,529 --> 00:26:04,563
You know what
my response would be?
642
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:05,898
Me, too.
643
00:26:05,898 --> 00:26:08,134
But is this the first time
you had that thought?
644
00:26:08,134 --> 00:26:09,936
Sign "union" again.
That was cool.
645
00:26:12,004 --> 00:26:14,874
No. It must have
been a different word.
646
00:26:14,874 --> 00:26:16,609
Is he serious about this?
647
00:26:16,609 --> 00:26:18,410
That's not my
department.
648
00:26:18,410 --> 00:26:20,279
I get you to
the meeting.
649
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:21,347
Right.
650
00:26:21,347 --> 00:26:22,348
Joey?
651
00:26:22,348 --> 00:26:23,683
Yeah?
652
00:26:23,683 --> 00:26:26,218
How high are the stakes
for the speech?
653
00:26:26,218 --> 00:26:27,453
They're high.
654
00:26:27,453 --> 00:26:29,155
But a magic trick
isn't going to help.
655
00:26:29,155 --> 00:26:30,156
How high?
656
00:26:30,156 --> 00:26:31,157
High.
657
00:26:31,157 --> 00:26:32,759
How high?
658
00:26:32,759 --> 00:26:36,262
Well, you don't win anything
in January.
659
00:26:36,262 --> 00:26:37,563
You only lose.
660
00:26:37,563 --> 00:26:41,200
If he doesn't park
the State of the Union--
661
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,669
and I mean deep--
662
00:26:42,669 --> 00:26:44,603
it'll be his last one.
663
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:45,738
All right.
664
00:26:45,738 --> 00:26:48,641
You're in the Oval Office.
665
00:26:51,644 --> 00:26:55,481
Hey, did I hear Toby
right on the phone?
666
00:26:55,481 --> 00:26:57,616
Could be worse,
you know.
667
00:26:57,616 --> 00:26:59,285
How?
668
00:26:59,285 --> 00:27:01,420
He could have cancer.
669
00:27:01,420 --> 00:27:03,990
Do the two of you ever go
anywhere separately?
670
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:05,424
It's weird, isn't it?
671
00:27:05,424 --> 00:27:07,126
A little weird, yeah.
672
00:27:07,126 --> 00:27:08,594
What's going on?
673
00:27:08,594 --> 00:27:10,797
What was that phone call?
674
00:27:10,797 --> 00:27:13,565
We're going
to meet and talk.
675
00:27:13,565 --> 00:27:15,702
How did it go?
676
00:27:15,702 --> 00:27:16,803
Not at all well.
677
00:27:16,803 --> 00:27:18,771
You know whose fault it is?
678
00:27:18,771 --> 00:27:19,906
John Tandy's?
No.
679
00:27:19,906 --> 00:27:21,107
Hers?
Yours.
680
00:27:21,107 --> 00:27:23,242
Let's go.
681
00:27:29,348 --> 00:27:30,549
Leo, is he serious?
682
00:27:30,549 --> 00:27:32,218
He's on his
way down.
683
00:27:40,392 --> 00:27:42,829
Totally your fault.
684
00:27:42,829 --> 00:27:44,864
I'm just, you know...
685
00:27:44,864 --> 00:27:48,434
I'm just the guy
who does the thing.
686
00:27:48,434 --> 00:27:50,236
What?
687
00:27:50,236 --> 00:27:52,304
We've run out of pie.
688
00:27:53,305 --> 00:27:54,506
Good evening.
689
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:55,775
Thanks for being
here so late.
690
00:27:55,775 --> 00:27:58,244
ALL:
Good evening, Mr. President.
691
00:27:58,244 --> 00:28:03,482
A President stood up, he said
we will land a man on the moon
692
00:28:03,482 --> 00:28:06,018
before the end of the decade.
693
00:28:06,018 --> 00:28:08,220
You know what we knew
when he said that?
694
00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:10,656
Nothing.
We didn't know anything.
695
00:28:10,656 --> 00:28:12,158
We didn't know about
the lunar surface.
696
00:28:12,158 --> 00:28:14,794
We didn't know how to land
one of these things.
697
00:28:14,794 --> 00:28:16,228
All we'd ever done is
crash it into the ocean
698
00:28:16,228 --> 00:28:18,164
and God knows, if
we could figure out
699
00:28:18,164 --> 00:28:20,666
how to land soft, we didn't
know how to blast off again.
700
00:28:20,666 --> 00:28:23,669
But a President said we're going
to do it, and we did it.
701
00:28:23,669 --> 00:28:25,504
So I ask you
702
00:28:25,504 --> 00:28:27,073
why shouldn't I stand up
703
00:28:27,073 --> 00:28:30,309
and say we are going
to cure cancer in ten years?
704
00:28:37,683 --> 00:28:39,451
I'm really asking.
705
00:28:39,451 --> 00:28:42,254
Well, how close are we
to really being able to do this?
706
00:28:42,254 --> 00:28:43,389
Nobody knows.
707
00:28:43,389 --> 00:28:45,257
Then...
Toby?
708
00:28:46,959 --> 00:28:49,361
It'll be seen as
a political ploy.
709
00:28:49,361 --> 00:28:50,529
Why?
It can be seen--
710
00:28:50,529 --> 00:28:52,364
Excuse me.
711
00:28:52,364 --> 00:28:53,232
It can be seen
712
00:28:53,232 --> 00:28:54,100
as self-serving.
713
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:54,767
How?
714
00:28:54,767 --> 00:28:55,902
Using cancer
715
00:28:55,902 --> 00:28:57,469
to deflect
attention from MS.
716
00:28:57,469 --> 00:28:59,671
You think people with cancer
care what my motives are?
717
00:28:59,671 --> 00:29:00,773
You think their families do?
718
00:29:00,773 --> 00:29:02,174
I'm saying...
719
00:29:02,174 --> 00:29:02,842
Joey?
720
00:29:02,842 --> 00:29:03,876
I agree with everything
721
00:29:03,876 --> 00:29:05,677
that's been said
722
00:29:05,677 --> 00:29:09,115
except I don't think they'll
see it as deflecting the M.S.
723
00:29:09,115 --> 00:29:11,984
I think they'll see it
as deflecting the censure.
724
00:29:11,984 --> 00:29:13,352
Once again...
725
00:29:13,352 --> 00:29:14,821
Everybody cares
about motives, Mr. President.
726
00:29:14,821 --> 00:29:16,122
I didn't...
727
00:29:16,122 --> 00:29:17,723
She said, "Everybody cares
about motives."
728
00:29:17,723 --> 00:29:18,657
Sam?
729
00:29:18,657 --> 00:29:20,059
Yes, sir?
730
00:29:20,059 --> 00:29:21,027
Why shouldn't I do it?
731
00:29:21,027 --> 00:29:22,494
I think you should.
732
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:25,097
I think ambition
is good.
733
00:29:25,097 --> 00:29:27,967
I think overreaching
is good.
734
00:29:27,967 --> 00:29:30,036
I think giving people
a vision of government
735
00:29:30,036 --> 00:29:31,804
that's more than
Social Security checks
736
00:29:31,804 --> 00:29:33,339
and debt reduction is good.
737
00:29:33,339 --> 00:29:34,773
I think
738
00:29:34,773 --> 00:29:36,542
government should be optimistic.
739
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:46,018
I'm sorry, I know it's late
740
00:29:46,018 --> 00:29:48,855
but I want to start seeing
drafts of a new section
741
00:29:48,855 --> 00:29:50,356
in the next few hours.
742
00:29:50,356 --> 00:29:51,490
C.J., I want a sense
743
00:29:51,490 --> 00:29:53,192
of a media overview, too.
744
00:29:54,526 --> 00:29:55,627
Now.
745
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:58,230
ALL:
Yes, sir. Thank you.
746
00:30:10,742 --> 00:30:13,112
I just want
to look at some drafts.
747
00:30:17,917 --> 00:30:20,219
I don't have an hour and half
to spend on this.
748
00:30:20,219 --> 00:30:21,553
I can do it.
749
00:30:21,553 --> 00:30:23,155
You don't have an hour and
a half to spend on it either.
750
00:30:23,155 --> 00:30:24,690
Why are you
opposed to this?
751
00:30:24,690 --> 00:30:26,625
Stopping what we're doing
to write about curing cancer?
752
00:30:26,625 --> 00:30:28,194
Yeah.
753
00:30:28,194 --> 00:30:29,996
'Cause it's never going to be
in the speech.
754
00:30:29,996 --> 00:30:31,263
How do you know?
755
00:30:31,263 --> 00:30:32,965
What resources
do we have to devote?
756
00:30:32,965 --> 00:30:35,201
I don't know.
757
00:30:35,201 --> 00:30:36,903
How much money
is it going to cost?
758
00:30:36,903 --> 00:30:37,870
I don't know.
759
00:30:37,870 --> 00:30:41,007
That's how I know.
760
00:30:41,007 --> 00:30:43,876
The man's about to get
a Congressional censure.
761
00:30:43,876 --> 00:30:45,744
He's trying to pull a rabbit
out of his hat.
762
00:30:45,744 --> 00:30:46,879
What are you doing humoring him?
763
00:30:46,879 --> 00:30:48,247
I'm not humoring him.
764
00:30:48,247 --> 00:30:50,582
I don't want you
spending more
765
00:30:50,582 --> 00:30:51,984
than an hour
and a half.
766
00:30:51,984 --> 00:30:53,085
You're a pollster.
767
00:30:53,085 --> 00:30:54,120
Yes.
768
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,423
You don't think
this would poll well?
769
00:30:57,423 --> 00:30:59,225
Do I think people
are in favor
770
00:30:59,225 --> 00:31:01,160
of curing cancer?
Yes, I do.
771
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,461
So?
772
00:31:04,063 --> 00:31:05,497
The federal government
773
00:31:05,497 --> 00:31:07,733
shouldn't be directing
scientific research.
774
00:31:07,733 --> 00:31:08,600
Why?
775
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:09,969
Because you stink at it.
776
00:31:09,969 --> 00:31:11,670
If it was up
to the NIH
777
00:31:11,670 --> 00:31:14,606
to cure polio through
a centrally directed program
778
00:31:14,606 --> 00:31:17,643
instead of an independent
investigator driven discovery
779
00:31:17,643 --> 00:31:20,012
you'd have the best iron lung
in the world
780
00:31:20,012 --> 00:31:21,547
but not a polio vaccine.
781
00:31:21,547 --> 00:31:22,748
When did you get an MD?
782
00:31:22,748 --> 00:31:25,817
I was just quoting
Samuel Broder.
783
00:31:25,817 --> 00:31:27,486
Who's he?
784
00:31:27,486 --> 00:31:29,922
The former director of
the National Cancer Institute.
785
00:31:31,123 --> 00:31:33,092
The speech
is going to work fine.
786
00:31:33,092 --> 00:31:35,027
Don't overreact to the censure.
787
00:31:35,027 --> 00:31:36,395
There is no speech yet.
788
00:31:36,395 --> 00:31:37,964
There will be.
789
00:31:37,964 --> 00:31:39,898
I have to work now.
790
00:31:39,898 --> 00:31:43,669
The President's
asked me to try this.
791
00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:46,772
I'll be in my office.
792
00:31:46,772 --> 00:31:50,209
( soft music playing,
people conversing )
793
00:31:53,445 --> 00:31:55,381
Listen...
794
00:31:55,381 --> 00:31:58,684
when the hell are
we getting numbers?
795
00:31:58,684 --> 00:32:01,220
You are a pleasure to work for.
796
00:32:01,220 --> 00:32:03,655
I hear that a lot.
When are we getting numbers?
797
00:32:03,655 --> 00:32:06,158
When I say so.
798
00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:13,499
So many women,
so little charm.
799
00:32:13,499 --> 00:32:17,269
What in God's name could you
possibly want right now?
800
00:32:17,269 --> 00:32:18,504
Let me tell you something.
801
00:32:18,504 --> 00:32:20,606
Making government manuals
easier to read?
802
00:32:20,606 --> 00:32:21,607
Yeah.
803
00:32:21,607 --> 00:32:22,808
Would have been a winner.
804
00:32:22,808 --> 00:32:24,576
AMY:
Come with me.
805
00:32:26,112 --> 00:32:27,579
Excuse me.
806
00:32:27,579 --> 00:32:30,582
( whispering ):
He happens to be
more feminist
807
00:32:30,582 --> 00:32:32,118
than the White House.
808
00:32:32,118 --> 00:32:34,920
I have no idea
what you just said.
809
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,223
I said he happens to be
more feminist
810
00:32:37,223 --> 00:32:38,757
than the White House.
811
00:32:38,757 --> 00:32:39,625
Feminine?
812
00:32:39,625 --> 00:32:40,826
Feminist.
813
00:32:40,826 --> 00:32:43,262
He wrote the amendment
to the HHS appropriations bill
814
00:32:43,262 --> 00:32:45,597
that made violence near
abortion clinics a Federal crime
815
00:32:45,597 --> 00:32:47,499
while you guys were seeking
legal commentary.
816
00:32:47,499 --> 00:32:49,235
Forgive us for talking
to lawyers about the law.
817
00:32:49,235 --> 00:32:50,402
He almost single-handedly
818
00:32:50,402 --> 00:32:51,870
beat back
three parental consent bills
819
00:32:51,870 --> 00:32:54,206
and, on two of them, he ran
his own damn whip operation
820
00:32:54,206 --> 00:32:55,641
'cause they weren't
Leadership priorities.
821
00:32:55,641 --> 00:32:58,410
The Minority Whip
doesn't work for us.
822
00:32:58,410 --> 00:33:00,346
And he ties the Violence
Against Women Act
823
00:33:00,346 --> 00:33:01,647
to the last crime bill...
Amy...
824
00:33:01,647 --> 00:33:02,881
over White House objection.
825
00:33:02,881 --> 00:33:04,616
I'm not quarreling
with his credentials
826
00:33:04,616 --> 00:33:05,617
as a lover of women.
827
00:33:05,617 --> 00:33:07,819
I happen to know he
excels in that area.
828
00:33:07,819 --> 00:33:08,820
Look who's talking.
829
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:10,156
I'm just saying...
830
00:33:10,156 --> 00:33:11,190
That he's using me.
831
00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:12,358
I was saying that.
832
00:33:12,358 --> 00:33:13,959
I was saying it
two weeks ago.
833
00:33:13,959 --> 00:33:16,862
Now I'm not saying anything
in the vicinity of that.
834
00:33:16,862 --> 00:33:17,829
Hey...
835
00:33:17,829 --> 00:33:18,830
Hey.
836
00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:20,466
Congressman.
837
00:33:20,466 --> 00:33:21,900
Josh. Great night for us.
838
00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:23,402
We'll see.
839
00:33:23,402 --> 00:33:25,037
Amy, we're doing
some pictures
840
00:33:25,037 --> 00:33:27,073
with the President
in the Mural Room.
841
00:33:27,073 --> 00:33:29,007
You don't want
to do them yourself?
842
00:33:29,007 --> 00:33:30,242
No, come on.
843
00:33:32,044 --> 00:33:34,480
Go ahead.
844
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:35,714
Photo-op.
845
00:33:45,357 --> 00:33:46,458
Amy?
846
00:33:46,458 --> 00:33:47,259
Yeah.
847
00:33:47,259 --> 00:33:49,361
Congratulations.
848
00:33:52,798 --> 00:33:54,633
We'll see.
849
00:34:05,177 --> 00:34:06,178
( knocking )
850
00:34:06,178 --> 00:34:07,213
PRESIDENT:
Yeah.
851
00:34:07,213 --> 00:34:09,081
Come on in.
852
00:34:10,182 --> 00:34:12,718
Good evening,
Mr. President.
853
00:34:12,718 --> 00:34:14,086
You got it?
854
00:34:14,086 --> 00:34:15,387
Yeah.
855
00:34:39,911 --> 00:34:42,481
This is good.
856
00:34:42,481 --> 00:34:45,717
You know we
can't do it.
857
00:34:45,717 --> 00:34:47,153
Yeah.
858
00:34:47,153 --> 00:34:48,454
We'd need to
line up experts
859
00:34:48,454 --> 00:34:50,822
who can face the press,
and in just two weeks.
860
00:34:50,822 --> 00:34:51,823
Yeah.
861
00:34:51,823 --> 00:34:53,625
Sloan-Kettering...
862
00:34:53,625 --> 00:34:55,060
Dana-Farber...
863
00:34:55,060 --> 00:34:56,328
The Cleveland Clinic, UCLA.
864
00:34:56,328 --> 00:34:57,563
We'd want to include
865
00:34:57,563 --> 00:34:59,531
the Society
of Clinical Oncology.
866
00:34:59,531 --> 00:35:00,532
And the NCI.
867
00:35:00,532 --> 00:35:02,368
The OMB would
have to score it.
868
00:35:02,368 --> 00:35:05,437
We haven't identified
the offsets to pay for it
869
00:35:05,437 --> 00:35:08,207
and we can barely tell them
what the it is.
870
00:35:08,207 --> 00:35:10,642
Clinical trials under
Medicare and Medicaid...
871
00:35:10,642 --> 00:35:13,445
Science and
Technology
Democrats...
872
00:35:13,445 --> 00:35:15,347
the pharmaceutical
companies...
873
00:35:15,347 --> 00:35:19,185
( sighs )
874
00:35:19,185 --> 00:35:22,254
It was a good idea, though.
875
00:35:22,254 --> 00:35:23,522
We have other good ideas.
876
00:35:25,191 --> 00:35:27,259
So we don't get water
from a rock.
877
00:35:27,259 --> 00:35:29,895
We just do our thing
and take our chances.
878
00:35:29,895 --> 00:35:31,197
I think so.
879
00:35:32,531 --> 00:35:35,934
We're going to have to do
it awfully well this time.
880
00:35:35,934 --> 00:35:37,403
We've done
that before.
881
00:35:40,071 --> 00:35:42,107
Anything else?
882
00:35:42,107 --> 00:35:44,410
Thank you,
Mr. President.
883
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:03,195
( partygoers conversing )
884
00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:06,265
C.J.
885
00:36:06,265 --> 00:36:08,434
Would you excuse me?
886
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:25,417
Well.
887
00:36:25,417 --> 00:36:27,986
Something happened
at the half-hour mark.
888
00:36:27,986 --> 00:36:28,854
What?
889
00:36:28,854 --> 00:36:30,155
They remembered
890
00:36:30,155 --> 00:36:32,858
why they liked him
in the first place.
891
00:36:34,426 --> 00:36:36,595
The breakdowns
are being handed around
892
00:36:36,595 --> 00:36:39,431
but the really good news
are the panel backs.
893
00:36:39,431 --> 00:36:42,468
16 Democrats,
16 Republicans
894
00:36:42,468 --> 00:36:44,770
and 12 Independents
895
00:36:44,770 --> 00:36:47,973
were asked identical questions
two days ago and one hour ago.
896
00:36:47,973 --> 00:36:49,975
Two days ago
897
00:36:49,975 --> 00:36:54,346
48% said he was able
to handle his job effectively.
898
00:36:55,347 --> 00:36:57,616
Tonight that number's 59.
899
00:36:58,984 --> 00:37:00,286
"Trustworthy"
900
00:37:00,286 --> 00:37:02,020
60%, up from 41.
901
00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:02,988
Give us the real one.
902
00:37:06,425 --> 00:37:10,262
"Strong leader..." 69%.
903
00:37:10,262 --> 00:37:11,763
( whooping )
904
00:37:11,763 --> 00:37:13,231
We're back! Yes!
905
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:14,566
Yes!
906
00:37:35,220 --> 00:37:37,088
Somebody get these guys
some pie.
907
00:37:37,088 --> 00:37:38,390
( laughter )
908
00:37:38,390 --> 00:37:40,392
Joey is there an extra
copy of the panel backs?
909
00:37:40,392 --> 00:37:41,627
I didn't get one.
910
00:37:41,627 --> 00:37:42,528
I got one.
911
00:37:44,029 --> 00:37:45,464
Thanks.
C.J.
912
00:37:45,464 --> 00:37:46,965
Hang on.
Dance with me.
913
00:37:46,965 --> 00:37:49,935
Hang on. I'm just going
to toss this in my office.
914
00:37:51,437 --> 00:37:52,671
Congratulations, boss.
915
00:37:52,671 --> 00:37:53,505
Nice job.
916
00:37:53,505 --> 00:37:54,840
Take the rest of the night off.
917
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,142
Yeah. It's 1:00
in the morning.
918
00:37:57,142 --> 00:37:58,344
Well, you
earned it.
919
00:37:58,344 --> 00:38:00,145
Sam, Sam, the
sunshine man.
920
00:38:00,145 --> 00:38:02,414
Get on the couch.
I'm going to do
you right now.
921
00:38:02,414 --> 00:38:04,516
Okay.
Sorry, I was still
talking to Carol.
922
00:38:04,516 --> 00:38:05,484
What is wrong with you?
923
00:38:05,484 --> 00:38:07,052
We really don't know.
924
00:38:07,052 --> 00:38:09,588
Lisa mentioned that it wasn't
going that well tonight.
925
00:38:09,588 --> 00:38:12,190
You've still got a couple
of weeks with her, you'll...
926
00:38:12,190 --> 00:38:14,292
Yeah, I wish we hadn't
started tonight.
927
00:38:14,292 --> 00:38:16,294
Why? It was a
shining moment.
928
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:17,429
It got the job done
929
00:38:17,429 --> 00:38:18,930
but it's ironic
930
00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:20,932
that a thing,
a sort of a thing between us
931
00:38:20,932 --> 00:38:23,101
is-- I'm supposed
to know the difference
932
00:38:23,101 --> 00:38:24,269
between flash and substance.
933
00:38:24,269 --> 00:38:25,371
Sometimes a
little flash
934
00:38:25,371 --> 00:38:26,237
is what's required.
935
00:38:26,237 --> 00:38:27,606
You said that to me.
936
00:38:27,606 --> 00:38:29,708
I say that when I don't
have anything to say.
937
00:38:29,708 --> 00:38:31,543
It wasn't a Vegas act--
it was stirring.
938
00:38:31,543 --> 00:38:32,744
And I wouldn't
hang your head
939
00:38:32,744 --> 00:38:34,380
when you say it
got the job done.
940
00:38:34,380 --> 00:38:36,348
That job was impossible
and it had to be done.
941
00:38:36,348 --> 00:38:37,749
There aren't ten
guys in the country
942
00:38:37,749 --> 00:38:39,184
who could write
that speech.
943
00:38:39,184 --> 00:38:40,251
I'll bet
the Cancer Committee
944
00:38:40,251 --> 00:38:42,153
can't wait
to buy me a beer.
945
00:38:42,153 --> 00:38:44,456
Hey, I'm just...
You know.
946
00:38:44,456 --> 00:38:46,692
Anyway, congratulations--
and if you're serious
947
00:38:46,692 --> 00:38:48,126
about that thing
with Carol
948
00:38:48,126 --> 00:38:49,227
I can just sit
in the corner
949
00:38:49,227 --> 00:38:50,696
and not even say...
Get out.
950
00:38:53,765 --> 00:38:55,534
SAM:
Sorry, I was just
getting some numbers.
951
00:38:55,534 --> 00:38:57,002
Can you tell me
what they were?
952
00:38:57,002 --> 00:38:58,537
They're internal numbers.
953
00:38:58,537 --> 00:39:01,306
CNN/USA Today will have
something in a little while.
954
00:39:01,306 --> 00:39:02,307
Anyway...
955
00:39:02,307 --> 00:39:03,609
this is my office over here.
956
00:39:03,609 --> 00:39:04,776
Sam
957
00:39:04,776 --> 00:39:06,244
I'm going to give my notes
from tonight
958
00:39:06,244 --> 00:39:08,113
to someone else and let them
finish the reporting
959
00:39:08,113 --> 00:39:09,548
over the next few weeks.
960
00:39:09,548 --> 00:39:11,349
You're obviously not
comfortable with this.
961
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:13,084
They're internal numbers,
Lisa, I can't...
962
00:39:13,084 --> 00:39:14,386
Yeah, whatever.
963
00:39:14,386 --> 00:39:16,888
I'm going to give my
notes to someone else.
964
00:39:19,257 --> 00:39:21,092
Anyway.
965
00:39:21,092 --> 00:39:22,728
This is my office.
966
00:39:24,963 --> 00:39:26,465
It's nice.
967
00:39:28,967 --> 00:39:30,502
C.J. asked me
a couple of weeks ago
968
00:39:30,502 --> 00:39:31,970
if the reason
we didn't get married
969
00:39:31,970 --> 00:39:33,972
is because your name
would be Sherborne-Seaborn.
970
00:39:33,972 --> 00:39:37,476
That's exactly
why we didn't get married.
971
00:39:40,646 --> 00:39:42,347
Why didn't we get married?
972
00:39:42,347 --> 00:39:43,982
Why do you think?
973
00:39:43,982 --> 00:39:45,283
'Cause I don't know
974
00:39:45,283 --> 00:39:48,019
what the cool restaurant is
and I don't care.
975
00:39:48,019 --> 00:39:50,088
When I get hungry,
I want to eat
976
00:39:50,088 --> 00:39:53,058
and I don't know where
the Tommy Hilfigger party is
977
00:39:53,058 --> 00:39:55,293
and I don't know what to do
once I get there.
978
00:39:55,293 --> 00:39:56,294
You're full of crap.
979
00:39:56,294 --> 00:39:57,863
I was never cool enough for you.
980
00:39:57,863 --> 00:40:00,365
You're full of crap
and you think too little of me
981
00:40:00,365 --> 00:40:02,333
and I didn't leave you--
you left me
982
00:40:02,333 --> 00:40:03,935
and you did it
to do this.
983
00:40:03,935 --> 00:40:05,871
The reason you're pissy
is 'cause I'm here
984
00:40:05,871 --> 00:40:07,606
looking at you
and writing about you
985
00:40:07,606 --> 00:40:09,575
and you're wondering
if I'm going to think
986
00:40:09,575 --> 00:40:11,409
you've been doing
anything at all.
987
00:40:12,878 --> 00:40:15,313
Often it's not clear to me
whether or not I have.
988
00:40:15,313 --> 00:40:16,247
You have.
989
00:40:16,247 --> 00:40:17,115
How would you know?
990
00:40:17,115 --> 00:40:19,117
I don't know.
991
00:40:22,253 --> 00:40:24,155
Here's something interesting.
992
00:40:24,155 --> 00:40:26,725
In 1940, our armed forces
weren't among
993
00:40:26,725 --> 00:40:29,995
the 12 most formidable
in the world, but obviously
994
00:40:29,995 --> 00:40:32,063
we were going to
fight a big war
995
00:40:32,063 --> 00:40:35,066
and Roosevelt said
the US would produce
996
00:40:35,066 --> 00:40:36,968
50,000 planes
in the next four years.
997
00:40:36,968 --> 00:40:38,570
Everyone thought it was a joke
998
00:40:38,570 --> 00:40:41,840
and it was, 'cause it
turned out we produced
999
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:46,512
Gave the Air Force an armada
that would block the sun.
1000
00:40:48,046 --> 00:40:50,381
Do you still have
what you wrote that night?
1001
00:40:50,381 --> 00:40:52,784
About curing cancer?
1002
00:40:52,784 --> 00:40:54,219
Yeah.
1003
00:41:05,263 --> 00:41:07,599
Read it to me.
1004
00:41:10,101 --> 00:41:13,071
"Over the past half century,
we've split the atom
1005
00:41:13,071 --> 00:41:17,408
"we've spliced the gene and
we've roamed Tranquillity Base.
1006
00:41:17,408 --> 00:41:19,044
"We've reached for the stars
1007
00:41:19,044 --> 00:41:22,213
"and never have we been closer
to having them in our grasp.
1008
00:41:22,213 --> 00:41:25,216
"New science, new technology
is making the difference
1009
00:41:25,216 --> 00:41:27,385
"between life and death,
and so we need
1010
00:41:27,385 --> 00:41:28,887
"a national commitment
1011
00:41:28,887 --> 00:41:32,057
"equal to this unparalleled
moment of possibility.
1012
00:41:32,057 --> 00:41:34,392
"And so I announce to you
tonight that I will bring
1013
00:41:34,392 --> 00:41:36,895
"the full resources
of the Federal Government
1014
00:41:36,895 --> 00:41:40,031
"and the full reach of my office
to this fundamental goal:
1015
00:41:40,031 --> 00:41:43,769
We will cure cancer
by the end of this decade."
1016
00:41:45,403 --> 00:41:47,272
That was nice.
1017
00:41:49,775 --> 00:41:51,509
I'll pass the notes along.
