Joan?

Run a search
in the NICK.

"Yaarun Nabi:

Y-a-a-r-u-n

N-a-b-i."

"Yaarun Nabi"
is a Persian name.

Yeah?

Means "friend
of the prophet."

Getting anything?

Four AKAs.

"Yaquin Kashani, Raqim Ali,
Yamin Bandari, Yawar Aryanpur."

Run them.

I wonder if they all mean
"friend of the prophet."

Guess that would be silly...

or at least
remarkably coincidental...

that the aliases would mean

the same thing
as the actual name.

I mean, you got to ask,
what good

would an alias be,
if it...?

Greg?

Get me the Secret
Service Joint

Operations Center
at the White House.

JOSH:
Donna?

Yeah.

I'm going home.

It's only 5:00.

You can't go yet.
You have to talk

to the students.
What students?

From Presidential Classroom.

What are you talking about?

They're high school kids
from across the country

who are accepted for...
I don't know.

They come
to Washington for four days.

They get to meet
with interesting people

and you're
one of them.
What did...?

When did this get
on my schedule?

It's been there.

No, it hasn't.
It just...

There isn't anybody else
who can do this?

It's supposed to be you.

I have to work.

You can work
in the office.

No, I can't work
in the office.

We've crashed five
times in three weeks.

When I'm not being evacuated
from the building

I'm not being allowed
to leave the building

and now, the one...

God, Donna, I
want to go home.

Josh, it's been
on your schedule.

All right, I'll give
them a few minutes

but then I got
to go, okay?

Yeah.

When am I supposed
to do this?

Now.
Where are they?

They're right
in the Northwest Lobby.

( sighs )

Good evening.
Good to see you.

You're the group
from Presidential...

something?

Classroom.
Classroom?

I'm their supervisor,
Marjorie Mann.

Josh Lyman.
Thank you for
taking the time.

So, how'd you all get here?

ALL:
On the bus.

I meant...
They qualify

with essays,
recommendations

grades in history
and government.

It's very competitive.

Well, all right,
uh, I'm Josh Lyman.

I'm the Deputy White
House Chief of Staff.

I joined the
Bartlet campaign

shortly before
the Iowa caucus

and served as
the campaign's
political director.

Uh, before that

I worked for then Senator
John Hoynes for a while.

Josh?

Yeah.

Station One, Code Black.
Crash.

Don't let it frighten you.
They need to seal the building.

Stay where you
are, please.
Everybody, please...

stay where you are.

Mr. Lyman...

are these kids with you?

Yeah, I guess they are.

Something's happened.

Right in here.

Just grab a seat anywhere.

Right in here.
This is the mess.

This is where we eat lunch.

We'll just... wait here.

What's going on?

How should I know?

Would you call Leo's
office and find out
what's going on

and more important,
how long it's going
to be going on for?

They're probably scared.

You might try
lightening up
a little bit.

Yeah, I'll definitely

give that a try.

Okay, uh, well, uh,
this is called a "crash."

It means there's been
some kind of security breach

and no one's allowed
in or out of the building.

Would you call Leo's office?

So, I guess
we should use this time.

Uh, this is the White House

the home of the President
and the Executive Branch

the most powerful
of the three branches

of the Federal
Government.

Yeah.

Actually, Mr. Lyman,
isn't it true

that the Executive Branch
was the weakest

Because we were
breaking off from
the royalist model

that put absolute power
in just one place.

I mean, isn't that why they made
the Legislative Branch--

or People's Branch--
the most powerful?

What's your name?

I'm Billy Fernandez.

Okay, I'll call you Fred.

A little knowledge
can be a dangerous thing.

I don't know how long
we're all going to be here

but you just made my list.

Yes, I suppose,
technically

constitutionally,
the Legislative Branch

is the most powerful, but we get
a motorcade, so back off.

All right,
you already know

I assume you know
how a bill becomes a law.

What do you want to talk about?

Guys, seriously,
it's nothing to worry about.

We've been having
these crashes
once a week.

Let's go.
Somebody ask me something.

So... what's the deal

with everybody trying
to kill you?

Well... it's not everybody

and they're trying
to kill you, too.

But mostly you.

No, both of us the same.

Let's go.

It doesn't have to be
about politics.

You're off to college.

I'm the guy who knows
what you need to know.

Sophomore year,
my roommates and I

got a fish registered
for 18 credits

and she made Dean's List.

My roommates and I
made a Dean's List

of a different sort,
but that doesn't matter.

Do you get scared
coming to work at
the White House?

No. I mean,
we're bystanders, basically

and we work around
a lot of people

who routinely put themselves
in harm's way--

the Secret Service
and the military.

You know, the protection detail?

They practice a thousand
different scenarios for a gun:

who tackles the President

who opens the car,
who's covering
the perimeter

and there's one guy

whose job it is
to stand in front of the bullet.

Not get the shooter--

stand in front
of the bullet.

I've seen them do it.

Do you ever think
about quitting?

No.

Well, my, uh...

my mother wants me to.

My family members
have a habit

of, uh, dying
before you're supposed to.

So it's just me
and my mom now, and...

You guys know, I guess,
that I got accidentally shot

a little bit or something
in Rosslyn.

So she'd like to see me
in the private sector

but I tell her

my government salary
may not be a lot

but I still make more

than the guy whose job it is
to stand in front of the bullet

so how do I tell him
I'm quitting?

So she made me this box

that I'm supposed to keep
in the trunk of my car

and it's got
a super-powered flashlight

five gallons of water

and a transistor radio
and some first aid.

But she keeps thinking
of things to add to it.

She'll call and say, uh,
"I found that cap that Dad got

"Joe Pepitone to sign for you
on your birthday.

"You wore it to school every day
in seventh grade.

Do you want me to send it to you
so you can put it in the box?"

So... so I'll say

"Yeah, Ma, let's...
let's put it in the box."

So, anyway, I don't know

against who

and I don't know
what it's going
to look like

but one of these days,
we're going to have a big win

and for a lot of us
who've seen what we've seen

we're not leaving till we do.

I'm going to be here
six presidents from now

in my office,
Wile E. Coyote and a map.

So why is
everybody trying

to kill us?

It's not everybody.

It seems like everybody.

It's just the Arabs.

Saying the Arabs
is too general.

It's Islamic.

It's not Arabs,
it's not Islamics.

They're juniors and seniors?

Yes.

You're juniors and seniors.

In honor of the SATs
you're about to take

answer the following question.

Thanks.

Islamic extremist

is to Islamic

as "blank" is to Christianity.

"Islamic...

"extremist...

"is to...

"Islamic...

"as... 'blank' is...

to... Christianity."

Christian fundamentalists.

No.

Uh, Jehovah's Witnesses?

No, guys, the Christian Right
may not be your cup of tea

but they're not
blowing stuff up.

Islamic extremist
is to Islamic

as "blank" is to Christianity.

That's what we're talking about.

It's the Klan

gone medieval and global.

with Islamic men and women
of faith

of whom there are
millions upon millions.

Muslims defend this country
in the Army

Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps

National Guard,
police and fire departments.

So, let's ask
the question again.

Why are Islamic extremists
trying to kill us?

That's a reasonable question
if ever I heard one.

Why are we targets of war?

Because we're Americans.

That's it?

It's our freedom?

No other reasons?

Freedom and democracy.

I'll tell you, right or wrong--
and I think they're wrong--

it's probably
a good idea to acknowledge

that they do have
specific complaints.

I hear them every day--

the people we support,
troops in Saudi Arabia

sanctions against Iraq,
support for Egypt.

It's not just that
they don't like Irving Berlin.

Yes, it is.

No, it's not.

No, not about Irving Berlin

but your ridiculous search
for rational reasons

why somebody straps a bomb
to their chest is ridiculous.

You just called me ridiculous
twice in one sentence.

Hardly a record for me.

And you just made my list.

Nothing happens
on the list.

It's a serious list.

Watch now as he's going
to put me down

and make my point
at the exact same time.

JOSH:
Hardly a record for me.

What's Islamic extremism?

It's strict adherence

to a particular interpretation
of 7th Century Islamic law

as practiced
by the prophet Muhammad

and when I say
"strict adherence"

I'm not kidding around.

Men are forced to pray

grow their beards
a certain length.

Among my favorites

is there's only
one acceptable cheer

at a soccer match:

Allah-u-Akbar-- God is great.

If your guys
are getting creamed

then you're on your own.

Things are a lot less comic
for women

who aren't allowed
to attend school or have jobs.

They're not allowed
to be unaccompanied

and oftentimes
get publicly stoned to death

for crimes
like not wearing a veil.

I don't have to tell you

they don't need to shout
at a soccer match.

They're never going
to go to one.

So what bothers them about us?

Well, the variety
of cheers alone

coming from the cheap seats
in Giants Stadium

when they're playing the Cowboys
is enough for a jihad

to say nothing of street corners

lined church next to synagogue
next to mosque

newspapers that can print
anything they want

and women who can do
anything they want

including taking a rocket ship
to outer space

vote and... and play soccer.

This is a plural society.

That means we accept
more than one idea.

It offends them.

but it certainly
doesn't mean

you should
listen to her.

GIRL:
So, what do we do now?

What?

What do we do now?

Well, I think for help
with that question

we're going to need some people
smarter than I am.

Definitely.
Thing is...

that's pretty tough to find

and see if I can get
some of my friends

to come down and join us.

Listen, I-I don't
know what's going on

and I don't know how long
we're going to be here.

Are you guys hungry?
GIRL:
Yeah:

Freddy, why don't you
grab a couple of people

go to the back
of the kitchen

and get apples
and peanut butter?

Guys, I've gotten
entire pieces of legislation

through Congress
on apples and peanut butter.

I'll be back in a little bit.

( door knob rattling )

Secret Service! Don't move!

Show us your hands. Do it now.

Are you Raqim Ali?

Yes. The-There's...

Stay calm. I'm Special Agent
Ron Butterfield

of the United States
Secret Service.

Keep your hands
over your head

and step away
from the window.

We're going to ask you
some questions.

Five hours ago

Khuram Sharif
was taken into custody

while crossing from Ontario
into Vermont.

There was a warrant
for his arrest

in connection with
an attempted bombing
at La Guardia.

Turning state's evidence
over to the U.S. Attorney

he named several
coconspirators

one of whom
was Yaarun Nabi.

A preliminary check
in the NCIC kicked
out five aliases

one of which
was Raqim Ali.

There are three Raqim Alis.

One's a software designer
in Spokane.

Another is a caterer
in Los Angeles.

Who's the third?

He works in the White House.

It was only
a matter of time, huh?

Yeah.

Have you ever heard
of Khuram Sharif?

Yes. He was arrested
in connection

with an attempted bombing
of, uh...

one of the New York airports.

I think he may have also
been arrested once

in Paterson, New Jersey.

Paterson mean something
to you?

I was born there.

Where did you go to school?

Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.

I have a bachelor's degree
in applied mathematics.

You know who I am?

Of course I know who you are.

TOBY:
Kill 'em all, yeah.

All the Islamic extremists?

TOBY:
No, no, I
mean everyone.

You're all bothering me;
I want to be left alone.

Clearly the only way that's
going to happen is to be alone

so I'm sorry, but I'm going
to have to let you all go.

Except the Yankees
and the Knicks

and the Yankees and the Knicks

are going to need
someone to play

so keep the Red Sox
and the Lakers...

and the Laker Girls...

and the Palm

and we'll need to keep
the people who work at the Palm.

That's it, though.

The Yankees, the Red Sox,
the Knicks, the Lakers

the Laker Girls
and anyone who
works at the Palm.

Sports, Laker Girls
and a well-prepared steak--

that's all I need.

Sometimes I like to mix it up

with Italian... and Chinese.

All right, you can all stay,
but don't bug me.

You're on probation.

Don't forget-- I was this close
to banishing you.

This is Toby Ziegler,
and actually, he's in charge

of crafting
our message
to the public.

And today that message is?

Don't bug me?

That's right.

Nice beard.

My choice, sister

and by the way,
there's nothing wrong

with a religion whose laws say
a man's got to wear a beard

or cover his head
or wear a collar.

It's when violation
of these laws

become a crime against the State
and not your parents

that we're talking
about lack of choice.

"Islamic extremist is to Islamic

as KKK is
to Christianity."

That's... that's about right.

That's a good religious analogy.

What's a political analogy?

What's an analogy
using governments?

They don't have a government.

They have the Taliban.

They have the government
of Afghanistan.

the recognized government
of Afghanistan.

The Taliban took over

the recognized government
of Afghanistan

and there's
your political analogy.

What do you mean?

When you think
of Afghanistan

think of Poland.

When you think of the Taliban,
think of the Nazis.

When you think
of the citizens of Afghanistan

think of Jews in
concentration camps.

A friend of my dad's
was at one of the camps.

He used to come over
to the house

and he and my dad used
to shoot some pinochle.

He said he once saw a guy
at the camp

kneeling and praying.

He said, "What are you doing?"

The guy said
he was thanking God.

And my dad's friend said

"What... could you possibly
be thanking God for?"

He said, "I'm thanking God
for not making me like them."

Bad people can't be recognized
on sight.

There's no point in trying.

JOSH:
Actually

we already covered that.

It's worth covering twice,
don't you agree?

I do.

Yeah?

Pinochle's
a card game?

Yeah, I've changed
my mind again.

Kill 'em all.

Laker Girls?

TOBY:
No.

All right.

What was
the first act of terrorism?

What was the first act
of terrorism?

I could answer, but I think
he's asking you, man.

I-I know it's not new.

I know in the 11th Century--

I'm going to have trouble
pronouncing this--

in the 11th Century...

secret followers
of al-Hasan ibn-al-Sabbah...

who were taught to believe
in nothing and dare all

carried out these very swift
and very treacherous murders

of fellow Muslims

and they did it
in a state of religious ecstasy.

As a matter of fact

young men between
12 and 20 were
given hashish

and smuggled into--
I really don't know
what to call it--

they were smuggled
into a kind of

specially designed
pleasure garden

complete with
concubines.

They were told
this was paradise

and that the Master's angels
would carry them back

if they carried out
murders of the Master's enemies.

Ah, temptation.

I have named thee
and thy name is woman.

JOSH:
This is Sam Seaborn

Deputy Communications Director.

Now, don't be frightened

when I tell you now,
that in this room

Sam is the knowledgeable
terrorism expert.

The good news is that
in this government

we have some extremely

I heard I was needed, I came.

We were talking about al--
am I pronouncing this right?--

al-Hasan ibn-al-Sabbah.

Yeah, from the 11th Century.

By the way, the Arabic name
for their secret order

has survived until today.

Can anybody guess what it was?

The Arabic Name?

You know.

Assassins.

Assassins, that's right.

Yeah, we don't call on him.

( all laughing )

What's going on?
There's supposed to be
a meeting at Treasury.

I had a
6:00 o'clock
on the Hill.

Now I'm stuck here, you know

talking with well-dressed
children who can't vote.

GIRL:
You know a lot
about terrorism?

I dabble.

What are you

struck by most?

Its 100% failure rate.

Really?
Not only do
terrorists
always fail

at what they're after,
they pretty much always succeed

in strengthening
whatever it is they're against.

What about the IRA?

The Brits are
still there.

Protestants are
still there.

terrorist attacks in Spain
for decades with no result.

Left wing Red Brigades
from the '60s and '70s

from the Bader-Meinhoff Gang
in Germany

to the Weathermen in the U.S.

have tried
to overthrow capitalism.

You tell me--
how's capitalism doing?

What about
nonviolent protest?

What about it?

Well, it worked for Gandhi.

Yeah, it did.

Who else did it work for?

The Civil Rights movement.

That's right.

Yeah, but weren't we terrorists
at the Boston Tea Party?

Nobody got hurt
at the Boston Tea Party.

The only people who got hurt
were some fancy boys

who didn't have anything to wash
down their crumpets with.

We jumped out
from behind bushes

while the British came down

the road in their
bright red jackets

but never has a war
been so courteously declared.

It was on parchment
with calligraphy and...

"Your Highness, we beseech you
on this day in Philadelphia

to bite me, if you please."

Can I go back to what you were
saying at the beginning?

Yeah.

About it being 100% ineffective?

Yeah.

They're still
doing it anyway.

Yeah.

They're not frustrated
by the failure.

No.

Well, what do you call a society
that has to just live every day

with the idea that
the pizza place you're eating in

can just blow up
without any warning?

Israel.

Can you tell us about the wire
in your backpack?

It's for my computer.

My apartment is in
an older building.

I needed
the older telephone wires

so I could upgrade the M-Waves
on my motherboard.

You're an expert in
circuitry and wiring?

My father works
for the phone company.

I want to talk about
the applied mathematics degree.

Yeah?

What are you doing working

for a White House
staff secretary?

I... What do you mean?

We don't do a lot of math
around here.

Well, my interests shifted.

I became interested
in policy.

You're aware that the
intelligence agencies

routinely recruit
top mathematicians--

oftentimes out of
MIT-- and train them
to be cryptographers.

Sure.

And those cryptographers
are the ones

who, on a daily basis

code and decode messages
sent between the White House

the State Department
and the Pentagon.

Yes.

Last year your father
made a contribution

to something called
the Holy Land Defenders.

Were you aware
of the contribution?

Mr. McGarry, I understand
the need for these questions

and I hope you notice

I've been cooperating,
but if you drag my father

into this pitiful exercise

I'm afraid
I'm going to get angry.

I don't think you understand

the seriousness
of what's happening right now.

I don't think you do.

TOBY:
You don't ask C.J.
about the CIA.

C.J. has a bizarre
affection for the
intelligence community

that we just don't...
Bizarre?
How about right?

Okay.

This song is called

"The CIA:
Our Maligned Little Brother."

Oh, God.

We need spies.

Human spies.

Spy satellites are great
if you're trying to detect

whether or not Khruschev's
put missiles in Cuba

but you want to overhear
a conversation

over Turkish coffee
in Khyber Pass, you need a spy.

You guys want to get
great jobs after college

and serve your country?

Study Arabic, Chinese
and Farsi.

Maybe this'd be
a good time for a chorus

of "Our Maligned Little Brother,
Civil Liberties."

Liberties, Shmiberties.
C.J. Cregg,
ladies and gentlemen.

You know of a way to do this
without tapping some phones?

What about illegal searches?
What about profiling?

You know what
Benjamin Franklin said?

He said, "Hey, look,
I've invented the stove."

He said, "They that
they can give up
essential liberty

"to obtain a little
temporary safety

"deserve neither liberty

nor safety."

What's your name?

Well...

I'm on it.

Well, I don't think
we're talking about

a little temporary safety,
and it's not like we need

to search high and low
for clear and present danger.

Well, what would
you say the point to
fighting terrorism is?

It's to insure freedom, Pokey.
I don't need the brochure.

I think you do, 'cause
during times of great
crisis and threat

America has used
draconian measures before

and I think
maybe you've forgotten

just how effective they've been.

Can you name some?

The blacklist.

I want her to name them.

Look, I take civil
liberties as seriously
as anybody, okay--

and we haven't even talked
about free speech yet

and somebody getting lynched
by the patriotism police

That said, Tobus, we're going
to have to do some stuff.

and partner with some people
who are the lesser of evils.

I'm sorry, but terrorists
don't have armies and navies.

we're going to have to walk up
to them and shoot them.

Yeah, we can root
terrorist nests

but some of these guys
aren't going to be taken
by 105th Armored Tank Division.

Some of these guys are going
to be taken by a busboy
with a silencer.

So it's time to give the
intelligence agencies

the money and the
manpower they need.

We don't hear
about their successes.

Guess what? The Soviets
never crossed the Elbe

the North Koreans
stayed behind the
38th parallel.

During the millennium?

Not one incident.

You think that's because
the terrorists decided

that'd be a good day to take
off; not much action that day?

End of song.

CLEARY:
You were arrested
two years ago.

Yes, and the charges
were dropped.

You were arrested for holding
a rally without a permit.

I had a permit;
it hadn't processed

and the charges were dropped.

The presence of U.S. troops
in Saudi Arabia.

What, exactly,
is your concern

with our troops
in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia is the home
to two of our holiest mosques.

Mecca is there.

How'd you like it
if I camped out in
front of the Vatican

with a stockpile of M-16s?

I'd like it fine
if you were there

to protect
the Vatican.
Mister...

to make sure our friends didn't
cross the Kuwaiti border

and seize Saudi territory.

You mean Saudi oil.

Yes. We have oil interests
in the Gulf.

So does the rest of the world.

You sent an army composed
of women as well as men

where women aren't even allowed
to drive a car.

Maybe we can teach them.

Anyway... that's what
I was protesting.

You went to Edison High School
in Paterson, correct?

Correct.

On December 3, 1994,
someone called in

Yeah. Yeah, I remember
that there were bomb threats.

I remember that there were
more than one

but I don't remember
the exact dates.

According to your
transcripts, police
questioned you.

Yeah. It's on my school
transcript because
I wasn't arrested.

They asked me if
I called in a bomb
threat, which I didn't.

It was a couple
of football players

that didn't want to take
a chem final.

So, it was a couple
of football players

but they called
you in anyway.

It's not uncommon
for Arab-Americans

to be the first suspected
when that sort of thing happens.

I can't imagine why.

Look...

No, I'm trying to figure out

why anytime
there's terrorist activity

people always assume it's Arabs.

I don't know
the answer to
that, Mr. McGarry

but I can tell you
that it's horrible.

Well, that's the price you pay.

Excuse me?

The price I pay for what?

Continue the questions.

C.J.:
There's nothing more American
than coalition building.

The first thing John Wayne
always did

was put together a posse.

That's a hell
of an example, C.J.

Shouldn't you
be thinking

and comfort
for our boys
in intelligence?

You know, they may need
some comforting right now.

you best get in some fishnets
and head to a bar.

I will.

Yeah.

Where do terrorists
come from?

Where do they come from?

SAM:
Everywhere.

Mostly they come from exactly
where you'd expect--

places of abject
poverty and despair.

Horribly impoverished places

are an incubator
for the worst kind of crime.

Which is the same
as it is right here.

Same as it is here.

I live in Southeast DC.

If you don't
know the area,
think Compton

or South Central L.A.

Detroit,
the South Bronx.

Dilapidated schools, drugs, guns
and what else?

Gangs?

Gangs.

Gangs give you
a sense of belonging

and usually an income

but mostly, they give you
a sense of dignity.

Men are men,
and men will seek pride.

Everybody here has got
a badge to wear.

"I'm the Deputy

Communications Director."

"I made Presidential
Classroom."

"I know the answer.
I'm going to Cornell."

You think bangers
are walking around

with their heads
down, saying

"Oh, man, I didn't make anything
out of my life.

I'm in a gang."

No, man.

They're walking
around saying

"Man, I'm in a gang."

I'm with them."

STAFF:
Good evening,
Mr. President.

PRESIDENT:
Hello.

Everyone, stand up.

Sir, this is a group
of high school students

from Presidential Classroom.

Oh. Please.

You women seem bright

and lovely.

The men, disturbingly dense.

ABBEY:
Ignore him.

God knows the rest of us do.

Weren't you coming down

to get me some apples
and peanut butter?

We're out of apples, sir.

So, we're stuck here, huh?

Yes, sir.

Well, I live here.

Yes, sir.

( laughter )

I'm going back to my office.

Nice meeting you all.

I'm going to stay
here a few minutes.

Sir?

Yeah.

Do you consider yourself
a man of principle?

I try to be.

Well, don't you

consider-- I mean,
I know they're our enemy--

but don't you consider

there's something noble
about being a martyr?

A martyr would rather
suffer death

at the hands of an oppressor

than renounce his beliefs.

Killing yourself
and innocent people

to make a point is sick,
twisted, brutal dumb-ass murder.

And let me leave you
with this thought

before I go searching

for the apples
that were rightfully mine.

We don't need martyrs right now.

We need heroes.

A hero would die for his country

but he'd much rather live
for it.

It was good meeting you all.

C.J.:
Thank you,
Mr. President.

JOSH:
Thank you, sir.

Why were you
in Uzbekistan?

It was my Russia trip.

I went there with some friends
after graduation.

Can you tell me
about the Islamic
League of Allston?

It used to be my mosque.

We found him.

Where?

Germany.

I'm fine.

Mr. Ali, you're free to go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

( sighs )

You know what,
Mr. McGarry?

You have the memory
of a gypsy moth.

When you and the
President and the
President's daughter

and about a hundred
other people--

including me, by
the way-- were met

with a hail of .44 caliber
gunfire in Rosslyn...

not only were
the shooters white

they were doing it
'cause one of us wasn't.

GIRL:
How did all this start?

How did what all start?

Well... this.

Sarah.

God said to Abraham

"Look toward the heaven
and number the stars

and so shall
your descendants be."

But Abraham's wife, Sarah

wasn't getting
any younger

and God wasn't coming through
on his promise.

I was very young
when I had my kids.

I was very, very, very

very young.

I was barely even born yet

when I had my oldest daughter,
Elizabeth.

Anyway...

Sarah was getting older,
and she was getting nervous

because she didn't
have any children.

So she sent Abraham
to the bed of her
maid, Hagar

and Abraham and Hagar
had Ishmael

and not long
after they did

God kept his promise to Sarah
as he'd always intended to

and Abraham and Sarah had Isaac.

And Sarah said
to Abraham

"Cast out this slave woman
with her son

"for the son of this slave woman

will not be heir
with my son Isaac."

And so it began.

The Jews, the sons of Isaac.

The Arabs, the sons of Ishmael.

But what most people find
important to remember

is that in the end

the two sons came together
to bury their father.

I think most people also find it
important to remember

that the whole thing took place
about 73 million years ago.

Yeah.

Excuse me, ma'am.

We're clear.

Well, that's that then.

It was good talking
with you guys.

Hang in there.

Well, all right.

That's it then.

Can I ask one
more question?

Yeah.

Do you favor the death penalty?

No.
But you think

we should kill these people?

You don't have the
choices in a war

that you do in a jury room

but, I-I wish...

I wish we didn't have to.

I think death is too simple.

What would you
do instead?

I'd put them in a small cell,
and make them watch home movies

of the birthdays and baptisms
and weddings

of every single person
they killed

over and over, every day
for the rest of their lives.

( clears throat )

And then they'd get punched
in the mouth

by a different person
every night.

There would be a long list
of volunteers

but that's all right.

We'll wait.

But listen, don't worry
about all this right now.

We got you covered.

Worry about

Worry about what
you're going to
tell your parents

when you break curfew.

You're going
to meet guys.

You're going to meet girls.

Not so much you, friend.

Learn things, be
good to each other.

Read the newspapers,
go to the movies

go to a party, read a book.

In the meantime,
remember pluralism.

You want to get these people?

I mean,
you really want to reach in

and kill them where they live?

Keep accepting
more than one idea.

It makes them absolutely crazy.

Go.

See you later. Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thanks a lot.
It was fun.

Don't steal anything
on the way out.

Thank you.

Okay, bye-bye.

Billy.

Listen...

Nothing, just...

just keep doing
what you're doing.

Okay.

Okay.

See you.

Bye.

Good evening.

That's the price you pay...

...for having the same
physical features as criminals.

That's what I was going to say.

No kidding.

I'm sorry about that.

Also about the crack I made

about teaching Muslim women
how to drive.

I think if you talk to people
who know me

they'd tell you that...

that was unlike me, you know?

We're obviously all under, um...

a greater
than usual amount of...

you know.

And like you pointed out

with the shooting
and everything...

Yeah.

All right.

Well, that's all.

Hey, kid...

Way to be back at your desk.

* There's something
happening here *

* What is ain't exactly clear

* There's a man
with a gun over there *

* Telling me I got to beware

* I think it's time
we stop, children *

* What's that sound?

* Everybody look
what's going down *

* There's battle lines
being drawn *

* And nobody's right

* If everybody's wrong

* Young people
speaking their minds *

* Getting so much resistance

* From behind

* It's time we stop

* Hey, what's that sound?

* Everybody look
what's going down... *
