1
00:00:07,466 --> 00:00:08,794
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:08,967 --> 00:00:11,293
Last week, I went to see
a guy named Will Bailey.
3
00:00:11,470 --> 00:00:13,759
He ran Horton Wilde's campaign
in Orange County.
4
00:00:13,972 --> 00:00:15,597
His widow wanted to know
what Democrat...
5
00:00:15,766 --> 00:00:18,257
...was gonna stand in
for her husband should he win.
6
00:00:18,477 --> 00:00:20,054
- And I said...
- You're kidding.
7
00:00:20,270 --> 00:00:22,014
Something weird's going on.
We're winning.
8
00:00:22,231 --> 00:00:23,511
We've got news.
9
00:00:23,732 --> 00:00:25,606
- What?
- You're gonna win New Hampshire.
10
00:00:25,817 --> 00:00:30,029
CBS is ready to declare Delaware, with its three electoral votes...
11
00:00:30,197 --> 00:00:31,656
... for President Bartlet.
12
00:00:31,823 --> 00:00:35,524
Horton Wilde, who's dead,
is losing by 88 votes.
13
00:00:35,702 --> 00:00:37,742
Plus, there was an actual storm.
14
00:00:37,955 --> 00:00:40,909
We're gonna be up all night with
these. It's gonna be fun.
15
00:00:41,124 --> 00:00:44,576
God bless you all. God bless
the United States of America.
16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,251
And we still have, I wannaremind our viewers...
17
00:00:54,429 --> 00:00:57,051
... three House races undecided, as we've been reporting.
18
00:00:58,725 --> 00:01:01,133
Those would be Tennessee 2nd, the New York 22nd...
19
00:01:01,311 --> 00:01:04,811
... and the race that's been dubbed"Lazarus 47" in some circles...
20
00:01:04,982 --> 00:01:07,852
... the race for California 's47th Congressional District...
21
00:01:08,026 --> 00:01:11,063
... between the six-term incumbent, Republican Chuck Webb...
22
00:01:11,238 --> 00:01:14,488
... and Democrat Horton Wilde, whopassed away some three weeks ago...
23
00:01:14,658 --> 00:01:16,567
... but whose name remains on the ballot.
24
00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:19,199
George, which is stranger...
25
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:22,746
... that a Democrat is competitivein Orange County...
26
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:24,825
... or that the Democratin question is...
27
00:01:25,002 --> 00:01:29,046
... I don 't mean to make light of this ofcourse, but the candidate passed away.
28
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,715
They're both pretty strange, Julie...
29
00:01:31,884 --> 00:01:34,256
... but for a Democrat to winin the 47th...
30
00:01:34,428 --> 00:01:38,046
... he's going to have to have somethinggoing for him, and this was it.
31
00:01:38,223 --> 00:01:42,601
Martin, how important were thecandidates ' performances in the debate?
32
00:01:42,811 --> 00:01:47,888
I'll tell you. The day before the debate, the president held a three-point lead.
33
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:50,688
That's within the margin of error, a statistical tie.
34
00:01:50,861 --> 00:01:52,438
Among those who were undecided...
35
00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:55,863
... seventy-three percent made uptheir mind based on the debates...
36
00:01:56,033 --> 00:01:59,199
... and 69 percent of that populationwent for the president.
37
00:01:59,369 --> 00:02:02,287
-That's how the president won. -That's how the president won.
38
00:02:02,497 --> 00:02:05,167
-Absolutely. -What is Governor Ritchie thinking?
39
00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:09,201
He said...
What he said was this, he said:
40
00:02:09,379 --> 00:02:13,958
"A probable impossibility is preferable
to an improbable possibility."
41
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:16,341
The impossible is preferable
to the improbable.
42
00:02:16,845 --> 00:02:19,467
What did he mean?
He meant it's okay to sing and dance...
43
00:02:19,932 --> 00:02:22,767
...but you shouldn't turn on the radio,
hear the news report.
44
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:25,185
- You want some cake?
- No.
45
00:02:25,354 --> 00:02:27,097
You sure?
46
00:02:27,272 --> 00:02:29,644
- What kind?
- Cake.
47
00:02:29,858 --> 00:02:31,898
- They have flavors.
- I don't know.
48
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:35,028
It was a confluence of events.
If you pitched it...
49
00:02:35,197 --> 00:02:38,317
...to a Hollywood producer,
they'd tell you that Aristotle says:
50
00:02:38,492 --> 00:02:41,825
"A probable impossibility is preferable
to an improbable possibility."
51
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:44,202
Doesn't sound like them,
but I understand.
52
00:02:44,414 --> 00:02:47,368
Midwest, the RNC exits...
53
00:02:47,543 --> 00:02:50,080
...a dead candidate, a rainstorm.
54
00:02:50,295 --> 00:02:53,747
- It's Aristotle all over the place.
- I'm gonna turn these off.
55
00:02:53,924 --> 00:02:56,415
Head down to the party.
Everyone's asking for you.
56
00:02:57,052 --> 00:03:01,002
- You really don't know what kind of...?
- It's cake. It's cake.
57
00:03:02,558 --> 00:03:04,550
When I talked to the woman...
58
00:03:04,726 --> 00:03:06,766
...she had tears in her voice.
59
00:03:06,937 --> 00:03:08,680
Her husband loved the president.
60
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:10,731
Admired his integrity.
61
00:03:10,899 --> 00:03:12,691
Yes, we're big on integrity.
62
00:03:12,901 --> 00:03:16,436
By the way, when I said I'd run
in his place, it's not like I meant it.
63
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:19,319
Let's go to the party.
There are TVs everywhere.
64
00:03:19,491 --> 00:03:23,109
You'll know as soon as they're ready
to report something from the 47th.
65
00:03:23,287 --> 00:03:25,196
You're right. You're right.
66
00:03:27,749 --> 00:03:32,079
... House race in California 47th, wherethe impossible seems to be happening.
67
00:03:32,254 --> 00:03:36,916
And we send it to Gail Mackee, who 'sstanding by in Newport Beach. Gail?
68
00:03:37,092 --> 00:03:39,963
Julie, I'm at the Hyattin Newport Beach...
69
00:03:40,179 --> 00:03:45,386
... with the Horton Wilde campaign, andthe place is going absolutely berserk.
70
00:03:46,101 --> 00:03:49,766
Bonnie, Ginger, get me Will Bailey,
get me Kay Wilde. Very quickly, please.
71
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:52,897
... just received a phone call fromCongressman Chuck Webb.
72
00:03:53,108 --> 00:03:56,643
He's conceding, thanking Mrs. Wildefor a well-fought campaign...
73
00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:58,528
Get Will Bailey. Please. Get him.
74
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:03,531
... and looking forward... He says he looksforward to running in a special election.
75
00:04:03,744 --> 00:04:08,406
Is there any word on who the Democratsmight run in the special election?
76
00:04:08,624 --> 00:04:11,245
- Get him! Gotta get him!
-No, there isn 't, not yet.
77
00:04:11,418 --> 00:04:14,953
But I can report a rumor that'sbeen making its way around.
78
00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:16,624
Of course you can. Why not?
79
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:20,713
Former Orange County resident andcurrent White House Senior Adviser...
80
00:04:20,886 --> 00:04:24,302
... Sam Seaborn will seek the seat.
81
00:04:24,473 --> 00:04:26,216
And the plot thickens.
82
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:28,475
Sam Seaborn, of course...
83
00:04:28,685 --> 00:04:31,259
... an architect of the president'sfirst victory...
84
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,308
... as well as his, I think we haveto start calling it a landslide tonight.
85
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:40,443
- They're talking about someone else.
-We've got a picture to throw on-screen.
86
00:04:40,656 --> 00:04:42,114
Julie, I have to interrupt...
87
00:04:42,324 --> 00:04:43,652
Yeah. Okay.
88
00:04:44,243 --> 00:04:47,362
Anyone know where Toby
and Josh and C.J. are?
89
00:04:47,538 --> 00:04:51,238
Hey! Toby, Josh, C.J., has anyone...?
90
00:04:51,416 --> 00:04:52,745
They're over in the thing.
91
00:04:52,918 --> 00:04:57,663
... California 47th the same waythe Democrats view the New York 16th.
92
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,413
-They see it as unlosable.
- Hi.
93
00:05:00,592 --> 00:05:02,918
The Democrats have notonly never won the 47th...
94
00:05:03,095 --> 00:05:05,384
... they've never even been a factor.
95
00:05:05,556 --> 00:05:08,343
So who is this Sam Seaborn?
96
00:05:08,559 --> 00:05:10,847
He's an integral part ofthe president's circle...
97
00:05:11,019 --> 00:05:14,684
... since joining the Bartlet campaignafter years at a New York law firm...
98
00:05:14,857 --> 00:05:16,399
... Gage Whitney Pace.
99
00:05:16,567 --> 00:05:18,808
-A graduate of Princeton...
- Sam Donaldson...
100
00:05:18,986 --> 00:05:20,480
...from ABC Nightly News.
101
00:05:20,821 --> 00:05:23,608
He'd like to know if the
president is endorsing Sam.
102
00:05:23,782 --> 00:05:26,534
Toby, is the president endorsing Sam?
103
00:05:26,910 --> 00:05:28,950
Is the president endorsing Sam?
104
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:32,697
I don't know. He's asleep,
but let's go ask him.
105
00:05:34,251 --> 00:05:35,959
All right.
106
00:06:23,926 --> 00:06:25,254
All right, look...
107
00:06:25,427 --> 00:06:28,132
...this is extremely easy to explain.
108
00:06:28,305 --> 00:06:29,716
First of all...
109
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:33,010
Okay, how familiar are the
three of you with Aristotle?
110
00:06:33,227 --> 00:06:36,227
- You agreed to run?
- I said it for the widow.
111
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:39,516
She wanted a name for election night
and I said,"Use my name"...
112
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:41,809
...not thinking it was a practical option.
113
00:06:42,361 --> 00:06:45,362
Can I ask, is your office now
the House of the Rising Sun?
114
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:46,948
Yes.
115
00:06:47,115 --> 00:06:48,907
- You did it for the widow?
- Yes.
116
00:06:49,076 --> 00:06:50,736
And for a guy named Will Bailey...
117
00:06:50,911 --> 00:06:53,402
...who ran the campaign
and worked his ass off.
118
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:56,368
Never backed off and navigated
a dead Democrat...
119
00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:58,742
...to a win against Chuck Webb.
120
00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:01,244
Five hundred races tonight,
that was impressive.
121
00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:05,965
Though it was an Aristotelian confluence
of events that could only happen to me.
122
00:07:06,969 --> 00:07:09,923
- I have to talk to the widow.
- I'd talk to the president first.
123
00:07:10,097 --> 00:07:11,840
- Really?
- He'll get it in the morning.
124
00:07:12,015 --> 00:07:15,265
There's a seat in play. He's gonna be
asked about it. He can't say:
125
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:18,105
"I have no earthly idea what
you're talking about."
126
00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:20,679
Okay. Yeah. All right.
127
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:38,034
I don't want to intimidate you...
128
00:07:38,208 --> 00:07:40,616
...but I'm the first Democrat
in 20 years...
129
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:42,953
...to make a clean sweep
of the Plains states.
130
00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:45,703
And I'm not just talking about
lowa and Nebraska.
131
00:07:45,883 --> 00:07:48,504
- Are you trying to turn me on now?
- Yeah.
132
00:07:48,969 --> 00:07:50,878
All right.
133
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:52,679
I won the Dakotas.
134
00:07:52,848 --> 00:07:54,675
The Badlands. The Black Hills.
135
00:07:55,184 --> 00:07:58,019
But let's go down, way down
to the deep South...
136
00:07:58,187 --> 00:08:02,848
...the humid bayou of Louisiana
and its nine electoral votes.
137
00:08:03,025 --> 00:08:05,860
What manner of man it must
take to win the state.
138
00:08:06,028 --> 00:08:07,356
Which, by the way...
139
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:10,863
...is the only one operating
under the Napoleonic Code of France.
140
00:08:11,033 --> 00:08:13,737
I still don't know what that's
all about, but back to me.
141
00:08:13,911 --> 00:08:17,161
Hon, this is like nerd hot talk.
142
00:08:17,331 --> 00:08:18,908
Who's your commander in chief?
143
00:08:19,750 --> 00:08:21,956
- You are.
- Yes.
144
00:08:22,127 --> 00:08:24,583
And do the ladies like him? Oh, yes...
145
00:08:24,796 --> 00:08:28,165
...to the tune of 58 percent.
146
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:31,336
Yeah?
147
00:08:31,553 --> 00:08:33,131
I'm sorry, sir.
148
00:08:33,305 --> 00:08:35,713
We had an understanding
with regard to tonight...
149
00:08:35,891 --> 00:08:38,382
...and interruptions, Charlie.
I thought we were men.
150
00:08:38,602 --> 00:08:40,559
Yes, I'm sorry, but Sam said...
151
00:08:40,771 --> 00:08:42,395
- Sam needs to see me?
- Yes, sir.
152
00:08:42,564 --> 00:08:44,687
- It's, what, 1 in the morning?
- Yes, sir.
153
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:47,563
Well, let's send him in.
154
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:51,486
- Good evening, Mr. President.
- Good to see you.
155
00:08:51,657 --> 00:08:54,990
- I hope I'm not here at a bad time.
- No. What would make you say that?
156
00:08:57,371 --> 00:08:59,079
I couldn't have picked a worse time.
157
00:08:59,248 --> 00:09:02,663
You could have, and I'm not gonna
take any chances, so let's do it now.
158
00:09:02,876 --> 00:09:05,663
- Horton Wilde won in the 47th.
- I know.
159
00:09:05,838 --> 00:09:07,415
There will be a special election.
160
00:09:07,589 --> 00:09:11,254
And, to make a long story short,
you might be asked tomorrow...
161
00:09:11,426 --> 00:09:12,755
...if you're endorsing me.
162
00:09:13,095 --> 00:09:15,384
- Am I?
- Well, I'm not really running.
163
00:09:15,556 --> 00:09:17,216
Then I'm behind you 100 percent.
164
00:09:17,391 --> 00:09:19,182
- Look...
- Man, is everything all right?
165
00:09:19,351 --> 00:09:20,679
Yeah.
166
00:09:20,853 --> 00:09:23,390
I made a promise to a widow
in a moment...
167
00:09:23,564 --> 00:09:26,897
- Hello, Mr. President.
- Hey, Mrs. Bartlet.
168
00:09:27,109 --> 00:09:30,857
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah. Look, honey, Sam stopped by.
169
00:09:31,029 --> 00:09:32,572
- Hi, Sam.
- Hi.
170
00:09:32,781 --> 00:09:35,023
- Eyes front, mister.
- I'll take care of this...
171
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,870
...in the next few hours.
You don't need to worry about it.
172
00:09:38,036 --> 00:09:40,076
- You sure you're okay?
- Yes, sir.
173
00:09:40,247 --> 00:09:41,575
- Is this Dean Martin?
- Yeah.
174
00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:43,824
- Good.
- Thank you.
175
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:46,368
Thank you, Mr. President.
176
00:09:48,463 --> 00:09:51,630
- Could you keep trying Will Bailey, please?
- Yeah.
177
00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:01,805
- Congratulations.
- You, too, Tom.
178
00:10:01,977 --> 00:10:04,598
And congratulations on the
other thing there, Papa.
179
00:10:04,771 --> 00:10:07,345
Yeah. Any idea where Mama is?
180
00:10:07,524 --> 00:10:08,853
Right over there.
181
00:10:09,026 --> 00:10:12,145
The great state of Maryland!
182
00:10:12,905 --> 00:10:14,233
Andy.
183
00:10:14,406 --> 00:10:18,071
- Andy, don't drink the...
- It's ginger ale, crazy boy.
184
00:10:18,243 --> 00:10:21,612
Ginger ale can be bad according
to the latest studies. It can be very...
185
00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:25,620
My man got the president
reelected tonight!
186
00:10:29,755 --> 00:10:31,130
That was very pleasant.
187
00:10:31,340 --> 00:10:33,213
- Can I talk to you a second?
- Yeah.
188
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,092
We won by 85 percent of the vote.
189
00:10:39,264 --> 00:10:41,755
I don't understand the 15 percent,
but what the hell.
190
00:10:41,934 --> 00:10:44,472
Yeah, well, as long as you
scraped by with a win.
191
00:10:44,645 --> 00:10:46,886
Look, a statement.
192
00:10:47,606 --> 00:10:50,939
- We've been through this.
-Roll Call has it, we have to deal with it.
193
00:10:51,109 --> 00:10:53,316
- I don't.
- Congresswoman, are you pregnant?
194
00:10:53,487 --> 00:10:54,815
None of your business.
195
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,353
You can't withhold that.
196
00:10:56,532 --> 00:11:00,232
Did you hear that the president has
multiple sclerosis and never told anyone?
197
00:11:00,410 --> 00:11:02,617
Yes, there was
a congressional investigation.
198
00:11:02,788 --> 00:11:05,113
It almost detonated his presidency.
199
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:08,624
You're worried about me?
I just won by 85 percent.
200
00:11:09,628 --> 00:11:11,537
- I'm not worried about you.
- I know.
201
00:11:11,713 --> 00:11:14,999
You're worried about a senior counselor
fathering kids out of wedlock.
202
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:19,255
Single moms are more sympathetic than
deadbeat dads, so I wouldn't gallivant.
203
00:11:19,638 --> 00:11:21,963
- You're not a deadbeat dad.
- You and I know that.
204
00:11:22,140 --> 00:11:25,011
But if I can't protect my kids,
their mom and the president...
205
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:28,471
...all at the same time, then I've gotta
quit my job, so help me out.
206
00:11:29,565 --> 00:11:31,972
- Yes.
- You'll make a statement?
207
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:35,104
No, but when they ask me who
the father is, I won't tell them.
208
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:36,856
I'm the father.
209
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:39,237
You're at your leisure to tell them that.
210
00:11:40,659 --> 00:11:42,284
Eighty-five percent of what kind...
211
00:11:42,452 --> 00:11:44,741
...of backward population votes
for this woman?
212
00:11:44,955 --> 00:11:46,330
The good people of Maryland.
213
00:11:48,375 --> 00:11:51,329
- Maryland!
- Maryland!
214
00:11:57,718 --> 00:12:00,802
Women. Yes indeed, ma'am.
215
00:12:00,971 --> 00:12:03,047
Fifty-eight percent.
216
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:04,682
But...
217
00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:07,934
...let's take a trip down Louisiana way...
218
00:12:08,103 --> 00:12:10,938
...where we find its nine
electoral votes go to...
219
00:12:11,106 --> 00:12:13,265
- Leo?
- Yeah?
220
00:12:13,442 --> 00:12:15,481
If you walk me through
every demographic...
221
00:12:15,652 --> 00:12:21,773
...I think the night's not gonna have the
kind of happy ending you're hoping for.
222
00:12:22,784 --> 00:12:25,192
Got it.
223
00:12:25,370 --> 00:12:27,410
Good tip.
224
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:29,739
Keep them coming.
225
00:12:31,293 --> 00:12:33,914
- Colonel.
- Yes, ma'am.
226
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:35,630
No.
227
00:12:35,797 --> 00:12:37,126
Hey.
228
00:12:37,299 --> 00:12:39,872
- How you doing?
- Pretty good. You got a second?
229
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:41,968
Yeah.
230
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:49,636
There's gunfire in Caracas
and Merida and Valencia.
231
00:12:49,811 --> 00:12:52,303
There's movement
in the Acuellar, Coroico...
232
00:12:52,481 --> 00:12:55,980
...Ciuadad Alto and Parado Negro bases.
- What about GV?
233
00:12:56,735 --> 00:12:58,146
They stopped broadcasting.
234
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:01,984
- Are you ready to brief?
- Fifteen minutes.
235
00:13:02,199 --> 00:13:03,823
Okay.
236
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:10,157
Can you hang around for a minute?
237
00:13:10,374 --> 00:13:12,662
There's about to be
a coup in Venezuela.
238
00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:15,628
Yeah.
239
00:13:16,088 --> 00:13:18,330
Thanks.
240
00:13:23,595 --> 00:13:27,545
Bartlet seemed to rely heavily onhis intellectual book smarts...
241
00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:31,010
... that some experts believe to beoff-putting to many Americans.
242
00:13:31,186 --> 00:13:34,104
Did you think that the presidentran too smart?
243
00:13:34,273 --> 00:13:37,891
We never advised him to hide hisintelligence, especially during debates...
244
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:39,396
Hey, with the singing.
245
00:13:39,570 --> 00:13:42,108
... because that's what made himstand out as a candidate.
246
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:44,149
Walk us through the tea leaves.
247
00:13:44,324 --> 00:13:46,566
What were the indicators for you?
248
00:13:46,785 --> 00:13:49,454
High gas prices and instabilityin the Gulf region.
249
00:13:49,621 --> 00:13:54,164
And so we recommended that he makeenergy a hot topic for the campaign.
250
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:56,126
And obviously a winning strategy.
251
00:13:56,295 --> 00:13:58,086
People say this is a president who...
252
00:13:58,297 --> 00:14:02,164
... more than anyone since Truman, ran his own campaign. Is that true?
253
00:14:02,384 --> 00:14:03,926
Yeah. We all give advice...
254
00:14:04,094 --> 00:14:06,668
... but this president calls his own shots.
255
00:14:06,889 --> 00:14:10,886
- Does anyone know who this is?
- I think he won the election.
256
00:14:11,101 --> 00:14:13,936
- It sounds like he did well.
- I think that's Chris Whitaker.
257
00:14:14,104 --> 00:14:15,433
- It is.
- He's a pollster.
258
00:14:15,606 --> 00:14:19,354
He's a pollster that Bruno
contracted out of Illinois.
259
00:14:21,695 --> 00:14:25,146
Excuse me. Don't break things.
260
00:14:25,699 --> 00:14:29,317
You realize you won all the Plains states
but the Dakotas?
261
00:14:29,494 --> 00:14:31,119
We won the Dakotas.
262
00:14:31,288 --> 00:14:33,197
I didn't even realize that.
263
00:14:33,373 --> 00:14:36,956
Yeah, we won the Dakotas tonight.
264
00:14:37,127 --> 00:14:38,538
The Badlands.
265
00:14:38,712 --> 00:14:40,870
- Bruno?
- Sitting Bull was buried... Yeah. Hello.
266
00:14:41,048 --> 00:14:43,336
Excuse me.
267
00:14:44,134 --> 00:14:46,921
This is Ashley,
assistant to Jane Zalaznick...
268
00:14:47,095 --> 00:14:49,254
...at the Women's Leadership Coalition.
- C.J.
269
00:14:49,431 --> 00:14:52,432
- Nice to meet you.
- You got a second?
270
00:14:56,522 --> 00:14:59,522
Carloads of partygoers from
the Women's Leadership Coalition...
271
00:14:59,691 --> 00:15:02,064
...and the Women's Action
Network are unloading...
272
00:15:02,236 --> 00:15:04,774
...at the northwest executive entrance.
273
00:15:04,947 --> 00:15:07,651
It is time for watermelon.
274
00:15:07,824 --> 00:15:09,817
You know a guy named Chris Whitaker?
275
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:12,652
- Widdle?
- Whitaker.
276
00:15:12,829 --> 00:15:14,906
- Witkenstein?
- Are you drunk?
277
00:15:15,123 --> 00:15:16,783
- A little bit.
- Chris Whitaker.
278
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:19,829
Is a pollster I contracted
for Cook County.
279
00:15:20,254 --> 00:15:23,420
He was just on TV claiming credit
for your energy strategy.
280
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,465
The energy strategy
and who knows what else.
281
00:15:29,763 --> 00:15:31,341
- Witkenstein?
- Bruno!
282
00:15:31,557 --> 00:15:33,929
- What do I care?
- You should talk to reporters.
283
00:15:34,142 --> 00:15:39,101
- You're entitled to the status you earned.
- The only thing I need status for...
284
00:15:39,273 --> 00:15:41,479
...I'm doing right now.
- I'm watching this guy.
285
00:15:41,650 --> 00:15:43,643
- You don't have to watch him.
- We owe you.
286
00:15:43,861 --> 00:15:46,945
No, I got paid. But thanks.
287
00:15:47,114 --> 00:15:48,442
I'm gonna talk to Ashley.
288
00:15:48,657 --> 00:15:51,907
- I'm gonna be watching this guy.
- I'm gonna be talking to Ashley.
289
00:15:52,119 --> 00:15:53,661
Okay.
290
00:15:59,126 --> 00:16:03,289
Donna. You might wanna tell Josh
that a few carloads of women...
291
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:04,792
- Yeah, he knows.
- Okay.
292
00:16:04,965 --> 00:16:06,340
- Josh.
- Hang on. People...
293
00:16:06,508 --> 00:16:09,046
...from the Women's Leadership
Coalition just...
294
00:16:10,846 --> 00:16:12,340
Yes, hello.
295
00:16:12,556 --> 00:16:14,679
Hello. It's a target-rich environment...
296
00:16:14,850 --> 00:16:18,682
...and I don't wanna cramp your style.
I wanted to stash my coat in your office.
297
00:16:18,854 --> 00:16:21,559
- Sure.
- Come here.
298
00:16:21,732 --> 00:16:23,060
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
299
00:16:23,233 --> 00:16:26,234
You owe me 10 dollars
on the Delaware 1 st...
300
00:16:26,403 --> 00:16:29,689
...ten dollars on lowa 5th. We pushed
across the Mountain states...
301
00:16:29,865 --> 00:16:32,272
...I lost Arkansas
and the Georgia Legislature...
302
00:16:32,451 --> 00:16:34,776
...but you went 20
on the Michigan gubernatorial.
303
00:16:34,953 --> 00:16:36,282
How you doing on the night?
304
00:16:36,455 --> 00:16:40,405
I'm only up 90, but there's a waste
disposal bond issue in Jasper, Alabama...
305
00:16:40,584 --> 00:16:43,336
...that's gonna put me in
a new pair of Manolos.
306
00:16:43,504 --> 00:16:46,504
So the guys at Lexington and Concord,
they didn't die in vain.
307
00:16:46,715 --> 00:16:48,921
- Yeah, no way.
- Wanna hear the funniest thing?
308
00:16:49,134 --> 00:16:53,132
A week ago, Sam told Horton Wilde's
widow that he would run in his place.
309
00:16:53,305 --> 00:16:55,048
- I know.
- You heard?
310
00:16:55,265 --> 00:16:57,507
- Yeah.
- All these events conspired to...
311
00:16:57,851 --> 00:17:03,438
The DNC gave up, so the RNC left town,
leaving no one to read the exits.
312
00:17:03,607 --> 00:17:05,350
- Want me to open it?
- I can do it.
313
00:17:05,526 --> 00:17:07,150
The president won the Midwest.
314
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:10,486
There was depressed Republican turnout
in the district...
315
00:17:10,656 --> 00:17:13,147
...because it was never a race, and...
- Will Bailey.
316
00:17:13,325 --> 00:17:15,863
- I keep hearing that name.
- I helped him raise money.
317
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:18,112
For a dead candidate, of course you did.
318
00:17:18,288 --> 00:17:21,242
Anyway, Sam's desperately trying
to get a hold of the widow...
319
00:17:21,416 --> 00:17:24,667
...to have the worst conversation
of his life. He'll have to say...
320
00:17:24,878 --> 00:17:27,167
He should do it.
That's what I came to tell you.
321
00:17:27,339 --> 00:17:28,964
- What do you mean?
- He should run.
322
00:17:29,466 --> 00:17:30,664
He'll get killed.
323
00:17:30,884 --> 00:17:33,719
But tomorrow, you'll face an angry
minority who don't feel...
324
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:36,425
...the president did enough to
make them the majority.
325
00:17:36,598 --> 00:17:39,054
Angry House Democrats,
I'm shivering. Hold my hand.
326
00:17:39,268 --> 00:17:41,177
- I'm saying...
- The president's coattails...
327
00:17:41,353 --> 00:17:45,433
...elected a Democrat out of Orange
County with literally no pulse.
328
00:17:45,607 --> 00:17:48,277
- Any congressman complaining...
- Will be smoothed over...
329
00:17:48,443 --> 00:17:51,480
Will be smoothed over if the
president sends a top lieutenant...
330
00:17:51,655 --> 00:17:55,984
...still shining from victory, on a suicide
mission to Disney's California Adventure.
331
00:17:56,159 --> 00:17:59,244
- You're ahead 90 bucks?
- And it's still very early.
332
00:17:59,454 --> 00:18:02,242
All right, give me your coat.
333
00:18:11,008 --> 00:18:12,716
What?
334
00:18:12,885 --> 00:18:14,877
I didn't say anything.
335
00:18:15,095 --> 00:18:18,096
- Okay, your coat will be here.
- I'm gonna go collect money.
336
00:18:18,265 --> 00:18:20,139
Enjoy.
337
00:18:36,992 --> 00:18:39,234
I certainly...
338
00:18:40,495 --> 00:18:42,702
Donna!
339
00:18:44,333 --> 00:18:48,461
- How did you know I was out there?
- I felt you lurking.
340
00:18:49,254 --> 00:18:51,496
I wanna try to find a
guy named Will Bailey...
341
00:18:51,673 --> 00:18:53,749
...with the Wilde campaign
in Newport Beach.
342
00:18:53,926 --> 00:18:55,254
Yeah.
343
00:18:58,347 --> 00:19:01,134
- Congratulations. Way to go, Will.
- Thanks for your work.
344
00:19:01,308 --> 00:19:04,475
- I don't know who you are.
- Will!
345
00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:07,393
- I'm going to sleep.
- Come back to the party!
346
00:19:07,564 --> 00:19:08,940
- I'm going to sleep.
- Now?
347
00:19:09,107 --> 00:19:11,396
- Any second.
- The greatest night of your life...
348
00:19:11,568 --> 00:19:14,059
...and you're gonna sleep?
- Special reward.
349
00:19:14,238 --> 00:19:17,108
There are all kinds of volunteers
who wanna dance with you.
350
00:19:17,282 --> 00:19:19,820
- And you know what that means.
- Dance? I think I do.
351
00:19:19,993 --> 00:19:21,452
You ever gonna enjoy yourself?
352
00:19:21,620 --> 00:19:23,909
I beat Chuck Webb.
That was a pretty good time.
353
00:19:24,081 --> 00:19:25,409
Yes, you did.
354
00:19:25,582 --> 00:19:27,491
I'm so proud that you're my brother.
355
00:19:27,668 --> 00:19:29,791
Me too. I mean, me too.
356
00:19:29,962 --> 00:19:32,203
You know what I mean.
357
00:19:32,673 --> 00:19:34,630
You sure you don't wanna come back?
358
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,920
- I can't stand up anymore.
- Okay.
359
00:19:38,095 --> 00:19:40,253
- Sleep well.
- Thanks.
360
00:19:40,430 --> 00:19:45,805
Don't be wearing that dress all
in front of... Never mind.
361
00:20:09,042 --> 00:20:11,616
- Yeah.
-Will, this is Josh Lyman.
362
00:20:11,837 --> 00:20:14,328
- Congratulations.
-You too, Mr. Lyman.
363
00:20:14,548 --> 00:20:16,505
- It's a great night.
-I want to talk...
364
00:20:16,717 --> 00:20:18,793
...about Sam.
-Sure.
365
00:20:18,969 --> 00:20:21,970
Is there any chance we could
talk first thing in the morning...
366
00:20:22,139 --> 00:20:23,966
...it's been a pretty long few months.
367
00:20:24,141 --> 00:20:26,098
-I understand completely, Will.
- Thanks.
368
00:20:26,268 --> 00:20:29,969
Let me just ask you this. What are
the president's unfavorables in the 47th?
369
00:20:30,147 --> 00:20:32,852
-I'm sorry?
- I'm trying to get a sense of...
370
00:20:33,025 --> 00:20:36,144
...what happens when Sam gets
tagged with Bartlet fatigue.
371
00:20:36,361 --> 00:20:38,817
I understand. I don't have
the facts and figures.
372
00:20:38,989 --> 00:20:41,278
I can call you in the morning
from the office.
373
00:20:41,450 --> 00:20:44,570
I assumed, because most operatives
can recite that kind of thing.
374
00:20:44,745 --> 00:20:46,488
You know, at the upper levels.
375
00:20:49,416 --> 00:20:51,872
The president has a 48/42
favorable/unfavorable...
376
00:20:52,044 --> 00:20:55,294
...with a 12-point gender spread.
"Shares our values": 37/58.
377
00:20:55,464 --> 00:20:57,789
"Handling of economy": 41/51.
378
00:20:57,966 --> 00:21:00,089
-"Strong leader"?
- 37/44.
379
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:02,169
Thank you.
380
00:21:12,064 --> 00:21:15,148
- Can you find Leo for me?
- Yeah.
381
00:21:19,404 --> 00:21:22,489
It's Donna, I have Josh
looking for him.
382
00:21:24,493 --> 00:21:26,035
Thanks.
383
00:21:31,124 --> 00:21:33,117
Are you lost?
384
00:21:33,710 --> 00:21:35,668
- Hey. I know you.
- Yeah.
385
00:21:35,838 --> 00:21:38,542
You work here? You didn't tell me that.
386
00:21:38,715 --> 00:21:41,966
Let me see your slip. I'm sure
you're over in Dr. McNally's wing.
387
00:21:42,135 --> 00:21:44,543
Navigation was never my
strong area in school.
388
00:21:44,721 --> 00:21:46,761
- You had to study it?
- Yeah, a lot.
389
00:21:46,932 --> 00:21:49,008
- Where did you go to school?
- Annapolis.
390
00:21:49,184 --> 00:21:52,019
Of course, I'm sorry.
It's this way, I'll take you.
391
00:21:52,187 --> 00:21:54,180
Thanks.
392
00:21:55,732 --> 00:21:58,520
- Why don't you give me a carton.
- No, no.
393
00:21:58,694 --> 00:22:01,979
- You guys having a party or something?
- Yeah, we won an election.
394
00:22:02,155 --> 00:22:04,444
I heard. Congratulations.
395
00:22:04,616 --> 00:22:07,286
Isn't this a strange time to be
moving into your office?
396
00:22:07,452 --> 00:22:10,406
I'm the 2 a.m. watch commander
in the Situation Room tonight.
397
00:22:10,622 --> 00:22:12,449
Why didn't you tell me
you worked here?
398
00:22:12,624 --> 00:22:15,827
I didn't want you to feel awkward
about voting for Ritchie.
399
00:22:16,044 --> 00:22:17,373
I didn't vote for Ritchie.
400
00:22:17,546 --> 00:22:21,246
Because you traded with me, but your
intent was to vote for Ritchie.
401
00:22:21,425 --> 00:22:23,963
- Yes.
- And I didn't want you to feel awkward.
402
00:22:24,136 --> 00:22:25,595
I appreciate that.
403
00:22:25,762 --> 00:22:27,636
So why were you gonna vote
for Ritchie?
404
00:22:27,806 --> 00:22:29,799
My role here isn't political.
405
00:22:30,017 --> 00:22:31,890
Is that what they told you to say?
406
00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:34,386
- Well, people usually don't ask.
- That's true.
407
00:22:34,563 --> 00:22:36,437
So why were you gonna vote
for Ritchie?
408
00:22:36,607 --> 00:22:40,355
- I think this is my door right here.
- It is.
409
00:22:43,697 --> 00:22:45,440
Would you mind?
410
00:22:49,328 --> 00:22:52,163
- Okay.
- It's freezing in here.
411
00:22:54,625 --> 00:22:58,290
- I appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.
- You bet.
412
00:23:01,507 --> 00:23:04,176
- So why were you vo...?
- Pentagon procurement.
413
00:23:04,468 --> 00:23:07,303
- What about it?
- The president said he'd roll it back.
414
00:23:07,471 --> 00:23:11,800
He wasn't talking about your job
or weapons, he was talking about...
415
00:23:11,975 --> 00:23:14,810
...five-hundred-dollar screwdrivers.
- Excuse me.
416
00:23:14,978 --> 00:23:16,520
Lieutenant Commander Reese.
417
00:23:16,730 --> 00:23:18,308
I'm just asking out of curiosity.
418
00:23:18,482 --> 00:23:21,151
- I mean, you're not in favor of...
- Thank you.
419
00:23:22,611 --> 00:23:24,734
- Calling me to work early.
- What's going on?
420
00:23:24,905 --> 00:23:27,396
I don't know.
Sounds like a coup d'état in Venezuela.
421
00:23:27,616 --> 00:23:29,858
Well, you should go do that, then.
422
00:23:30,494 --> 00:23:31,822
Yeah.
423
00:23:33,288 --> 00:23:35,080
Yeah, be careful.
424
00:23:35,249 --> 00:23:37,206
Thanks, but I'm just going downstairs.
425
00:23:37,376 --> 00:23:40,910
- Still.
- Okay.
426
00:23:46,093 --> 00:23:48,928
There's a cable intercept out
of Punto Fijo to Miraflores.
427
00:23:49,096 --> 00:23:50,673
A request to speak to lgnacio?
428
00:23:50,848 --> 00:23:53,765
Yeah, and there's a cellular intercept,
has General Martinez...
429
00:23:53,934 --> 00:23:55,808
...at the palace calling General Reyes.
430
00:23:55,978 --> 00:23:57,887
- And?
- The request was denied.
431
00:23:58,063 --> 00:24:00,601
Yeah, that wasn't really a
high-percentage phone call.
432
00:24:00,774 --> 00:24:02,518
No.
433
00:24:06,113 --> 00:24:08,604
Leo, this is Lieutenant Commander
Jack Reese.
434
00:24:08,782 --> 00:24:10,941
He's Nancy McNally's
new man in uniform.
435
00:24:11,118 --> 00:24:13,157
Welcome, commander.
When did you start?
436
00:24:13,328 --> 00:24:16,448
He started about 10 seconds ago,
Leo, this is his first night.
437
00:24:16,623 --> 00:24:19,410
All right. Let me say first,
this is not a drill.
438
00:24:19,626 --> 00:24:22,200
- Yes, sir.
- Major Carson from SOUTHCOM.
439
00:24:22,379 --> 00:24:24,835
Adam Hallridge, CIA, Venezuela desk.
440
00:24:25,007 --> 00:24:27,877
Troop, Assistant Secretary
for Latin American Affairs...
441
00:24:28,051 --> 00:24:30,174
...and some other people.
442
00:24:30,345 --> 00:24:33,015
Ignacio's two top generals,
Martinez and Rojas...
443
00:24:33,182 --> 00:24:34,842
...threw their support behind Luna.
444
00:24:35,017 --> 00:24:38,765
And Martinez placed lgnacio and
his vice president under arrest.
445
00:24:38,937 --> 00:24:41,013
Does their control extend
beyond Caracas?
446
00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:42,518
No.
447
00:24:42,691 --> 00:24:45,396
Ignacio's got the PDVSA refinery
at Punto Fijo.
448
00:24:45,861 --> 00:24:48,019
There's 63 Americans in the refinery.
449
00:24:48,197 --> 00:24:51,400
Mr. McGarry needs you to cull the
pertinent intelligence data.
450
00:24:51,617 --> 00:24:54,190
Put together a briefing
he can give the president.
451
00:24:54,369 --> 00:24:56,445
How much time do you need?
452
00:24:57,372 --> 00:24:59,661
Three hours?
453
00:25:02,294 --> 00:25:04,702
Twenty minutes, son.
454
00:25:10,219 --> 00:25:15,343
"My ex-husband, Toby Ziegler,
and I are expecting twins in May.
455
00:25:15,516 --> 00:25:18,516
We thank you for your good wishes
and ask for privacy...
456
00:25:18,685 --> 00:25:21,093
...while we consider...
457
00:25:21,271 --> 00:25:25,139
...reconciliation." Two sentences.
458
00:25:25,734 --> 00:25:27,394
Actually, that's good.
459
00:25:27,611 --> 00:25:28,939
- Yeah.
- It is.
460
00:25:29,112 --> 00:25:30,690
- Harmless.
- Yes.
461
00:25:30,906 --> 00:25:34,191
I'll tell you what, I'll issue that statement,
and that'll be that.
462
00:25:35,035 --> 00:25:36,660
Thank you.
463
00:25:36,954 --> 00:25:38,412
Okay.
464
00:25:39,748 --> 00:25:41,906
Toby, wake up. Wake up.
Time to go to school.
465
00:25:42,084 --> 00:25:44,242
- What is the problem?
- You raise your voice...
466
00:25:44,419 --> 00:25:46,044
...to a pregnant woman?
- I didn't.
467
00:25:46,213 --> 00:25:48,170
- It was in your inflection.
- Was it?
468
00:25:48,340 --> 00:25:51,258
It is not a matter of national security
that the public know.
469
00:25:51,426 --> 00:25:53,633
I do not waive my
Fourteenth Amendment rights.
470
00:25:53,804 --> 00:25:58,265
The Fourteenth Amendment protects
you from state action, not the media.
471
00:25:58,475 --> 00:26:00,468
There are 24 members
of Congress over 80.
472
00:26:00,644 --> 00:26:04,262
They work on Tuesdays. No one tonight
is questioning their job performance.
473
00:26:04,439 --> 00:26:07,524
First of all, three of those guys
are outstanding congressmen.
474
00:26:07,693 --> 00:26:11,062
Second, their constituents knew
they were 80 when they voted for them.
475
00:26:11,238 --> 00:26:13,361
I wouldn't have been elected
if voters knew?
476
00:26:13,532 --> 00:26:16,105
Voters aren't the ones who
are gonna throw the picnic.
477
00:26:16,285 --> 00:26:18,111
- I know.
- Then what's the problem?
478
00:26:18,328 --> 00:26:20,487
I can't stand the ones who are.
479
00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:22,331
You know I'm gonna get sued.
480
00:26:22,583 --> 00:26:24,291
I mean, you know it.
481
00:26:24,459 --> 00:26:28,623
The Citizens League
for a Rooty-Tooty Freedom Liberty.
482
00:26:28,797 --> 00:26:32,795
They'll work out of a strip mall in
Sarasota, but they'll be well-funded.
483
00:26:36,013 --> 00:26:38,848
- You're not trying to avoid a fight.
- No.
484
00:26:39,016 --> 00:26:40,558
- You're looking for one.
- Yeah.
485
00:26:40,726 --> 00:26:43,810
- You're sniffing around for a fight.
- Yes.
486
00:26:43,979 --> 00:26:47,182
Not sniffing around for one as much as...
487
00:26:47,357 --> 00:26:52,482
...trying to create one. Trying to create
trouble where none existed.
488
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,736
- Yes.
- Well...
489
00:26:56,408 --> 00:26:57,950
...I can admire that.
490
00:27:02,122 --> 00:27:03,782
Honey, have you told the Bartlets?
491
00:27:03,999 --> 00:27:06,157
- No.
- Why not?
492
00:27:10,047 --> 00:27:13,332
I came up with a plan to tell them
apart in the initial months.
493
00:27:13,509 --> 00:27:16,545
I think I'll probably
dress them differently.
494
00:27:16,762 --> 00:27:18,754
Oh, okay.
495
00:27:18,931 --> 00:27:21,256
I was gonna hang little
signs around their necks.
496
00:27:22,726 --> 00:27:24,600
Why haven't you told them?
497
00:27:25,979 --> 00:27:27,972
I don't know.
498
00:27:31,109 --> 00:27:36,530
There's a thing,"The biggest lies are
told after sex, before..."
499
00:27:36,698 --> 00:27:38,656
Something.
500
00:27:39,284 --> 00:27:43,282
Well, I think it's helpful if
lies come before sex.
501
00:27:44,665 --> 00:27:47,701
But"The biggest lies come
after the hunt...
502
00:27:47,876 --> 00:27:50,083
...before marriage and during elections."
503
00:27:50,295 --> 00:27:54,340
- Mark Twain?
- Nice to meet you. Bruno Gianelli.
504
00:27:55,050 --> 00:27:56,544
- You're funny.
- Yeah.
505
00:27:56,718 --> 00:27:58,047
Does winning make you funny?
506
00:27:58,220 --> 00:28:01,423
Losing makes you funny,
winning makes you handsome.
507
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,887
- Well, you must win an awful lot.
- Bruno?
508
00:28:07,980 --> 00:28:10,305
Excuse me.
509
00:28:14,403 --> 00:28:16,691
I am...
510
00:28:16,864 --> 00:28:18,192
I'm just gonna kill you.
511
00:28:19,366 --> 00:28:22,237
- She seems nice.
- That's the brunette named Annette.
512
00:28:22,452 --> 00:28:24,326
You'd give anything
if she was from Tibet.
513
00:28:24,496 --> 00:28:27,283
I'm fine with her being from Philadelphia.
State your business.
514
00:28:27,541 --> 00:28:29,249
- Witkenstein.
- I don't believe this.
515
00:28:29,418 --> 00:28:31,161
It'll be the start of a press tour.
516
00:28:31,378 --> 00:28:33,786
- Enjoy the party.
- I'm gonna leak campaign memos.
517
00:28:33,964 --> 00:28:36,455
Listen. I think it's good
this guy is talking.
518
00:28:36,633 --> 00:28:38,756
He doesn't know anything.
It won't last long.
519
00:28:38,969 --> 00:28:40,547
- I don't care. We can...
- C.J.
520
00:28:40,721 --> 00:28:42,879
I know how to do this,
end a process story...
521
00:28:43,056 --> 00:28:45,096
...and correct the record.
- Look at me.
522
00:28:45,309 --> 00:28:48,725
- What?
- We won. It's over.
523
00:28:56,653 --> 00:28:59,571
In a poll taken three days after
the MS announcement...
524
00:28:59,740 --> 00:29:05,743
...the President lost to Ritchie by nine
points. He won by 11. You did it.
525
00:29:06,038 --> 00:29:08,789
It helps when you cook
with the right food.
526
00:29:10,083 --> 00:29:14,247
But at midnight, my contract
with Bartlet for America expired.
527
00:29:14,421 --> 00:29:19,083
I'm a taxpayer now. I've got bigger
problems than who gets credit for a win.
528
00:29:19,718 --> 00:29:23,668
And I'd rather the White House
not spend time on it.
529
00:29:25,098 --> 00:29:26,842
Okay.
530
00:29:27,684 --> 00:29:31,552
Hey, if you wanna come back to my
office, there's an actual still.
531
00:29:31,730 --> 00:29:34,731
- I heard. I'll be there.
- Okay.
532
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:36,857
- Speaking of credit.
- Yeah.
533
00:29:37,069 --> 00:29:38,693
Nice win.
534
00:29:44,910 --> 00:29:47,864
- Listen, can I talk to you for a minute?
- Yeah.
535
00:29:48,622 --> 00:29:50,698
I've been talking to a few people...
536
00:29:50,874 --> 00:29:53,792
...and I don't know, I think
maybe Sam should run.
537
00:29:53,961 --> 00:29:56,748
- I've thought about that too.
- What's the story gonna be?
538
00:29:56,922 --> 00:30:00,622
- That we didn't take back the House.
- Like that was our fault.
539
00:30:00,801 --> 00:30:03,126
"He didn't do enough
down-ticket campaigning."
540
00:30:03,303 --> 00:30:05,130
Any idea how much
gumbo that man ate?
541
00:30:05,305 --> 00:30:09,006
This is what you do.
You bounce off the subject.
542
00:30:09,518 --> 00:30:11,142
Oh, shrimp.
543
00:30:11,311 --> 00:30:14,265
Running for Congress isn't a thing
you do to change the story.
544
00:30:14,439 --> 00:30:16,930
I know, but there are real reasons.
545
00:30:17,109 --> 00:30:20,026
We give Democrats in the 47th
something to get excited about.
546
00:30:21,738 --> 00:30:24,443
- You think he should run?
- I do.
547
00:30:24,616 --> 00:30:28,032
- This shrimp is incredibly good.
- What are you doing here?
548
00:30:28,203 --> 00:30:29,532
I'm your wingman.
549
00:30:29,997 --> 00:30:31,325
Okay.
550
00:30:31,498 --> 00:30:32,827
- Hello.
- Hey.
551
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,288
Toby, I'm afraid you didn't
have a good night.
552
00:30:35,502 --> 00:30:38,918
I bet against a Puerto Rican
for Bronx borough president, I deserve it.
553
00:30:39,298 --> 00:30:43,960
You took a hit, ironically, on a Wisconsin
referendum to legalize gambling...
554
00:30:44,136 --> 00:30:48,347
...but you won steaks on the over-under
in the Texas Farm Commissioner race.
555
00:30:48,515 --> 00:30:50,472
Does the U.S. Attorney's
office know you?
556
00:30:50,642 --> 00:30:54,011
- Yeah, they have me on file.
- Can we talk to you a minute?
557
00:30:54,188 --> 00:30:57,521
Actually, I'm gonna talk to the president
and first lady. Can it wait?
558
00:30:57,691 --> 00:31:00,312
- You're gonna tell them?
- Yeah.
559
00:31:00,527 --> 00:31:02,152
- Can we come?
- No.
560
00:31:02,321 --> 00:31:04,859
- They're still up, right?
- Yeah.
561
00:31:07,034 --> 00:31:09,951
Jimmy Fitzsimmons won
the Boston mayor's race by 51 points...
562
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,611
...and believe it or not,
did not beat the spread.
563
00:31:15,250 --> 00:31:17,575
I think he should do it.
564
00:31:26,220 --> 00:31:28,924
- Hey.
- Hi.
565
00:31:29,973 --> 00:31:31,800
Do you work on the maintenance staff?
566
00:31:31,975 --> 00:31:35,843
No, I'm senior assistant to Josh Lyman,
he's the deputy chief of staff.
567
00:31:36,021 --> 00:31:40,730
I'd noticed that the room was cold before,
so I loosened up the radiator...
568
00:31:40,901 --> 00:31:43,474
...but then, well, I guess you
could say I broke it.
569
00:31:43,695 --> 00:31:45,984
But it's fine now. It should be fine.
570
00:31:46,281 --> 00:31:47,906
Well, I doubt it.
571
00:31:49,284 --> 00:31:51,443
The building has maintenance,
doesn't it?
572
00:31:51,662 --> 00:31:53,987
They're having fun at the party.
573
00:31:54,164 --> 00:31:57,248
So everyone safe in Venezuela?
574
00:31:59,670 --> 00:32:01,461
Yeah.
575
00:32:03,674 --> 00:32:06,165
$500 screwdrivers is why you
didn't vote for him?
576
00:32:06,343 --> 00:32:08,217
I work for the president, that's a lot.
577
00:32:08,387 --> 00:32:10,510
- It's wasteful spending.
- No, it's not.
578
00:32:10,681 --> 00:32:13,350
A $400 ashtray?
579
00:32:18,522 --> 00:32:20,645
- What was that?
- A $400 ashtray.
580
00:32:20,816 --> 00:32:24,600
It's off the USS Greeneville, a submarine
and a likely target for a torpedo.
581
00:32:24,778 --> 00:32:27,530
When hit, you've got enough problems
without glass flying...
582
00:32:27,698 --> 00:32:30,402
...in the eyes of the navigator
and officer of the deck.
583
00:32:30,576 --> 00:32:33,411
This one's built to break
into three dull pieces.
584
00:32:34,580 --> 00:32:37,664
We lead a different life out there,
and it costs more money.
585
00:32:38,917 --> 00:32:41,408
I can't believe you broke
a $400 ashtray.
586
00:32:41,628 --> 00:32:45,460
Yeah, I wish I hadn't done that.
It's because you're blonde.
587
00:32:46,717 --> 00:32:50,086
- How'd it go in the Sit Room?
- Not my finest hour.
588
00:32:51,013 --> 00:32:53,136
You wanna go to the party?
589
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,262
- I've still got the watch.
- Okay.
590
00:32:58,604 --> 00:33:01,011
- Can you glue that thing back together?
- No.
591
00:33:05,777 --> 00:33:08,447
- They'll page me up at the party, right?
- Yeah.
592
00:33:10,199 --> 00:33:11,527
Okay.
593
00:33:21,877 --> 00:33:26,539
As you can see, we've moved
on to the caviar course.
594
00:33:27,216 --> 00:33:30,631
- I love caviar.
- I know how you do.
595
00:33:30,802 --> 00:33:34,931
Stoli Cristall, the most
elegant of vodkas.
596
00:33:37,601 --> 00:33:40,222
The caviar itself is a product
of my advice...
597
00:33:40,395 --> 00:33:44,892
...at the Convention on International
Trade in Endangered Species.
598
00:33:45,067 --> 00:33:47,640
We passed a much more stringent bill...
599
00:33:47,819 --> 00:33:50,939
...against the poaching of
Caspian Sea sturgeons.
600
00:33:51,114 --> 00:33:52,822
This is Oklahoma caviar?
601
00:33:54,284 --> 00:33:58,412
California white sturgeon
from the Stillman Sea Farm in Elverta.
602
00:33:58,789 --> 00:34:01,659
- Only the best.
- Stop, it's getting hot in here.
603
00:34:01,834 --> 00:34:04,122
Oh, I think you're gonna find...
604
00:34:05,587 --> 00:34:07,627
Excuse me.
605
00:34:11,510 --> 00:34:13,004
- Good evening.
- How you doing?
606
00:34:13,178 --> 00:34:14,507
I'm fine, thank you, sir.
607
00:34:14,847 --> 00:34:17,801
- I'm sorry, but Leo needs to see you.
- Okay. Anyone else?
608
00:34:18,016 --> 00:34:20,554
- Yes, sir, then Toby.
- Yeah. You're young, Charlie.
609
00:34:20,727 --> 00:34:22,685
Don't you wanna be having
fun right now?
610
00:34:22,896 --> 00:34:24,390
Yes, sir, but I work for you.
611
00:34:24,606 --> 00:34:26,563
I get that a lot. Leo.
612
00:34:28,068 --> 00:34:29,942
- Good evening, sir.
- Yes?
613
00:34:30,112 --> 00:34:31,571
- You look sharp.
- Thank you.
614
00:34:31,738 --> 00:34:33,482
- Hey, Abbey.
- Hi, Leo.
615
00:34:33,907 --> 00:34:35,236
What happened?
616
00:34:35,409 --> 00:34:38,410
It sounds like Commando Especial units
under Luna...
617
00:34:38,620 --> 00:34:41,325
...broke into the refinery
and took control.
618
00:34:41,498 --> 00:34:45,412
- The Americans?
- They're safe. It's over.
619
00:34:46,670 --> 00:34:49,837
Yeah. Well, we kind of knew
it was gonna be like this.
620
00:34:50,048 --> 00:34:52,006
- Yes, sir.
- Jordan still here?
621
00:34:52,176 --> 00:34:53,967
- Yeah.
- All right, have a good night.
622
00:34:54,136 --> 00:34:57,090
- You know Toby's lurking out here?
- Yeah. Toby.
623
00:34:57,264 --> 00:34:59,553
Thank you, Mr. President.
624
00:35:01,310 --> 00:35:03,682
- Good evening, sir.
- Hi.
625
00:35:03,854 --> 00:35:06,475
Mrs. Bartlet, that's a lovely
housecoat you're wearing.
626
00:35:06,648 --> 00:35:09,353
- Thank you.
- Listen, I'm in the middle of something.
627
00:35:09,610 --> 00:35:12,279
Is this anything that could
wait until tomorrow?
628
00:35:12,487 --> 00:35:13,768
Of course it is.
629
00:35:14,156 --> 00:35:17,856
Really, I've stopped by because I hadn't
told you that Andy's pregnant.
630
00:35:18,035 --> 00:35:21,534
It's twins and, of course,
I'm the father.
631
00:35:21,747 --> 00:35:23,324
Wow, that's great.
632
00:35:23,498 --> 00:35:25,041
Well done. See you tomorrow.
633
00:35:25,250 --> 00:35:29,711
- Yeah.
- Jed! Toby...
634
00:35:30,422 --> 00:35:32,913
...get in here.
635
00:35:35,093 --> 00:35:37,300
I was this close.
636
00:35:38,180 --> 00:35:39,722
- Andy's pregnant?
- Yeah.
637
00:35:39,890 --> 00:35:43,935
It's twins, a boy and a girl.
638
00:35:44,102 --> 00:35:46,724
That is the most wonderful news.
639
00:35:46,939 --> 00:35:49,608
- I'm gonna cry.
- You should marry that girl, Toby.
640
00:35:49,775 --> 00:35:52,776
- I'm doing my best, sir.
- How far along is she?
641
00:35:52,945 --> 00:35:54,854
End of May. I have a picture.
642
00:35:55,030 --> 00:35:57,272
- Wait a second, end of May?
- Oh, boy.
643
00:35:57,491 --> 00:36:00,694
- This is gonna...
- Hang on, I'm doing math in my head.
644
00:36:00,911 --> 00:36:03,153
End of May, why didn't
you tell us until now?
645
00:36:03,330 --> 00:36:06,165
- Jed, he doesn't need a reason.
- Yeah, but he's got one.
646
00:36:07,042 --> 00:36:10,411
The truth is, I don't, sir,
at least not a good one.
647
00:36:10,587 --> 00:36:13,458
I was intimidated by your Catholicism.
648
00:36:13,632 --> 00:36:15,672
Really?
649
00:36:15,843 --> 00:36:18,927
- Yeah.
- It's my Catholicism, it works for me.
650
00:36:19,137 --> 00:36:20,382
- And me.
- And her.
651
00:36:20,597 --> 00:36:23,432
- Did you break any laws?
- No, sir.
652
00:36:23,642 --> 00:36:26,263
Then a blessing on your house,
young man. Mazel tov.
653
00:36:27,229 --> 00:36:29,056
Thank you, sir.
654
00:36:29,439 --> 00:36:32,109
- Thank you, ma'am.
- Okay.
655
00:36:32,568 --> 00:36:35,568
- Is that caviar there?
- Not really, no.
656
00:36:36,071 --> 00:36:38,313
Let's go.
657
00:36:43,412 --> 00:36:46,911
I told Leo McGarry that. I said
education's the silver bullet...
658
00:36:47,082 --> 00:36:48,909
...that's what this election is about.
659
00:36:49,084 --> 00:36:52,204
We went in the field. We came up
with the middle-class tax cut...
660
00:36:52,379 --> 00:36:55,000
...plus the 100 percent
tax-deductible tuition...
661
00:36:55,174 --> 00:36:57,083
Excuse me.
662
00:36:57,259 --> 00:37:00,213
- Chris Whitaker, right?
- Yeah.
663
00:37:00,387 --> 00:37:01,965
Thank you.
664
00:37:02,139 --> 00:37:05,140
- Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- Well, thank you.
665
00:37:05,309 --> 00:37:09,057
No, please. We're all impressed
with how influential you were...
666
00:37:09,229 --> 00:37:12,100
...particularly when most of us
have never met you.
667
00:37:12,941 --> 00:37:15,313
What I'm most grateful for
is the process story...
668
00:37:15,485 --> 00:37:18,023
...taking attention from the debate
and focuses it...
669
00:37:18,197 --> 00:37:20,189
...where it belongs,
which is the contest.
670
00:37:20,365 --> 00:37:23,948
This is the story everyone will be
clamoring for. You're filling that need.
671
00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:28,864
To show my gratitude, I'm calling all
the news outlets and letting them know...
672
00:37:29,041 --> 00:37:33,204
...that I'll be forwarding all your
confidential memos to the president...
673
00:37:33,378 --> 00:37:35,205
...Iogs of all your calls with him...
674
00:37:35,380 --> 00:37:38,334
...Secret Service logs of your meetings
inside the White House.
675
00:37:38,509 --> 00:37:40,003
I really pissed you off, huh?
676
00:37:40,761 --> 00:37:44,924
Don't disrespect Leo McGarry
and Bruno Gianelli.
677
00:37:49,228 --> 00:37:51,220
- Sam.
- I was just on my way.
678
00:37:51,396 --> 00:37:54,765
- What do you guys need?
- We need to talk to you.
679
00:38:02,491 --> 00:38:04,234
Talk to me about what?
680
00:38:04,409 --> 00:38:06,616
We think you should run.
681
00:38:06,954 --> 00:38:08,911
Why would you think
something like that?
682
00:38:09,081 --> 00:38:10,990
Well, it was Josh's idea.
683
00:38:11,166 --> 00:38:13,408
Actually, it was Amy's.
684
00:38:15,087 --> 00:38:16,711
- Why?
- I picked a trifecta...
685
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,925
...with the California 47th, a sheriff's race
in Arizona and the Tulsa Family Court.
686
00:38:21,093 --> 00:38:24,047
- Can I give you the money and...?
- You'd be a home-run choice.
687
00:38:24,221 --> 00:38:27,471
You'll raise a lot of money,
and I have a hunch that the president...
688
00:38:27,641 --> 00:38:31,010
...who just won a landslide,
will be making some visits as well.
689
00:38:31,186 --> 00:38:34,769
You'll be the best-funded Democrat
ever to run in 47.
690
00:38:34,940 --> 00:38:36,979
You're not gonna win,
so you can't lose.
691
00:38:41,363 --> 00:38:44,530
I think you'd energize the state party.
692
00:38:46,118 --> 00:38:49,403
We're not gonna let you look like a fool.
We won't allow it.
693
00:38:50,289 --> 00:38:52,530
What do you think?
694
00:38:54,418 --> 00:38:56,956
I don't think you should do it.
695
00:38:57,254 --> 00:38:59,081
Energizing the state party is good...
696
00:38:59,256 --> 00:39:03,336
...a well-funded airing of issues is good,
so is mollifying House Democrats...
697
00:39:03,510 --> 00:39:06,297
...but you have to ask,
is it worth it? You'll lose.
698
00:39:06,930 --> 00:39:09,219
Democrats are always gonna lose
in the 47th.
699
00:39:09,391 --> 00:39:12,974
You can't just pick up and try someplace
else. They have a name for that.
700
00:39:14,188 --> 00:39:16,097
I don't know.
701
00:39:16,899 --> 00:39:18,309
I don't know.
702
00:39:18,483 --> 00:39:20,975
I worked on a state assembly
race in Manhattan...
703
00:39:21,153 --> 00:39:24,604
...in a district where Democrats
outnumbered Republicans 16 to one.
704
00:39:24,781 --> 00:39:28,197
But everywhere we went, there'd be
one poster of a right-wing nut bar...
705
00:39:28,368 --> 00:39:30,195
...who wanted to eliminate income tax.
706
00:39:30,871 --> 00:39:33,872
And he was holding up signs
and canvassing everywhere...
707
00:39:34,041 --> 00:39:37,908
...and bugging the local reporters
until we had to comment on it.
708
00:39:38,128 --> 00:39:41,497
So I introduced myself to his
campaign manager, and I said:
709
00:39:41,673 --> 00:39:43,251
"What are you doing?
710
00:39:43,425 --> 00:39:47,174
Your candidate doesn't have a chance
and neither do your issues."
711
00:39:47,346 --> 00:39:49,588
He said,"This is what I believe...
712
00:39:49,765 --> 00:39:55,269
...and no candidate gets to run in my
district without speaking to my issues."
713
00:39:56,104 --> 00:39:58,595
I came this close to voting for him.
714
00:39:58,774 --> 00:40:00,398
So...
715
00:40:01,193 --> 00:40:03,482
...I don't know
about what you just said.
716
00:40:06,532 --> 00:40:09,023
Then I think you should win.
717
00:40:11,495 --> 00:40:14,365
I'm sorry. I've finally got Mrs. Wilde
on the phone.
718
00:40:15,999 --> 00:40:17,909
All right.
719
00:40:19,002 --> 00:40:21,493
- All right, what?
- All right.
720
00:40:21,672 --> 00:40:24,423
And get Will Bailey on the phone.
You think he's still up?
721
00:40:24,591 --> 00:40:26,418
- No problem.
- Oh, yeah.
722
00:40:27,928 --> 00:40:30,253
I'm gonna take this call.
723
00:40:30,722 --> 00:40:32,881
We'll go with you.
724
00:41:02,045 --> 00:41:05,296
You're in the Air Force, the private
sector, the Labor Department...
725
00:41:05,465 --> 00:41:07,458
...two presidential campaigns
and rehab...
726
00:41:07,634 --> 00:41:10,968
...and you think you've seen it all,
but it turns out you haven't.
727
00:41:11,138 --> 00:41:13,629
Sam Seaborn is gonna be
the Democratic candidate...
728
00:41:13,807 --> 00:41:15,385
...for Congress in Orange County.
729
00:41:15,559 --> 00:41:20,102
I know. I think it's terrific,
but I would've thought you'd be unhappy.
730
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,354
- Why?
- He's gonna get crushed...
731
00:41:22,566 --> 00:41:26,017
...and I wouldn't think it
would reflect well on your boss.
732
00:41:26,195 --> 00:41:27,523
What?
733
00:41:27,696 --> 00:41:30,982
Let me tell you something
about process, Dr. Kendall...
734
00:41:31,158 --> 00:41:34,574
...and I'll do so
while tuning this radio...
735
00:41:34,745 --> 00:41:38,161
...to WNKW,"the music of your life."
736
00:41:40,375 --> 00:41:44,918
And begging the sun for one
more moment of moonlight.
737
00:41:45,839 --> 00:41:48,461
Speaking of the moon...
738
00:41:48,634 --> 00:41:50,626
...Luna took power tonight.
739
00:41:50,802 --> 00:41:53,175
About three dozen people are dead...
740
00:41:53,347 --> 00:41:55,838
...and lgnacio's under arrest.
741
00:41:56,016 --> 00:41:57,558
He'll be dead soon.
742
00:41:58,644 --> 00:42:00,435
Well...
743
00:42:02,314 --> 00:42:04,022
Luna's who you wanted.
744
00:42:06,568 --> 00:42:12,772
The process matters more than the
outcome, and that's what we wanted.
745
00:42:14,409 --> 00:42:17,992
And therein endeth the lesson.
746
00:42:23,252 --> 00:42:24,580
Will you dance with me?
747
00:42:25,671 --> 00:42:27,710
Yes.62288
