Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,805 --> 00:00:06,382
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:06,556 --> 00:00:08,797
- It's my "annivorcery. "
- I don't... What?
3
00:00:09,016 --> 00:00:10,557
The anniversary of my divorce.
4
00:00:10,768 --> 00:00:12,640
- I didn't know you'd been married.
- Couple times.
5
00:00:12,852 --> 00:00:14,844
Leo's gone.
Josh has a foot out the door.
6
00:00:15,063 --> 00:00:17,054
It's you and I,
we gonna have to run this thing.
7
00:00:17,272 --> 00:00:19,429
We're not getting coverage
of Politics and Eggs...
8
00:00:19,607 --> 00:00:22,357
- ...of "get tough on Pakistan"...
- Press loves an underdog.
9
00:00:22,568 --> 00:00:25,140
- It's sketch comedy.
- It's fun. It's feisty.
10
00:00:25,361 --> 00:00:27,234
- It'll get us on the news.
- It's cheap.
11
00:00:27,446 --> 00:00:30,648
You can't skip out with the president
lying flat on his back.
12
00:00:30,823 --> 00:00:33,492
Seven years, you're gonna leave us
with a get-well card?
13
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,692
Gotta think about the ninth year.
14
00:00:58,135 --> 00:01:00,423
Eleven-three.
15
00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:05,425
- What can I get you?
- A glass of red. Whatever's open.
16
00:01:16,272 --> 00:01:18,347
Thanks.
17
00:01:22,528 --> 00:01:26,061
We have to stop meeting like this.
People will talk.
18
00:01:28,031 --> 00:01:32,027
I'd offer to make an honest woman
of you, but you'd tire of me.
19
00:01:32,243 --> 00:01:35,326
And then I'd be left with nothing
but my knitting.
20
00:01:35,537 --> 00:01:38,987
- You knit?
- I don't.
21
00:01:39,665 --> 00:01:41,787
So I'd be left with nothing at all.
22
00:01:45,669 --> 00:01:47,495
What happened to your face?
23
00:01:54,801 --> 00:01:56,876
Boston Globe.
24
00:01:59,929 --> 00:02:01,256
Fourth paragraph.
25
00:02:01,431 --> 00:02:04,763
- "Vice President Robert Russell clings... "
- Oh, sorry. Third paragraph.
26
00:02:04,933 --> 00:02:07,719
"Congressman Matthew Santos
emerged from the pack...
27
00:02:07,893 --> 00:02:11,143
...with a healthy 19 percent
of the New Hampshire primary votes.
28
00:02:11,312 --> 00:02:16,186
Even more impressive than
his unexpected vault into third place...
29
00:02:16,358 --> 00:02:20,021
...was his considered candor he brought
to the stage in last week's debate. "
30
00:02:20,194 --> 00:02:22,945
The Post called it "shrewd certitude. "
They love you.
31
00:02:23,155 --> 00:02:24,482
- Today.
- Ignore him.
32
00:02:24,655 --> 00:02:26,777
We got 11 major newspapers
tooting our horn.
33
00:02:26,949 --> 00:02:28,822
You gotta open your arms,
feel the love.
34
00:02:28,992 --> 00:02:30,366
I feel it. I feel very warm.
35
00:02:30,535 --> 00:02:32,906
He's pissed Dave Pemberton
wrote about Rafferty.
36
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,405
As did Chris Latham. Latham
and Pemberton are opinion-makers.
37
00:02:36,622 --> 00:02:38,080
Allison Wexler. Opinion-maker.
38
00:02:38,249 --> 00:02:40,953
She's enthusiastic about
the "Santos for president" idea.
39
00:02:41,126 --> 00:02:43,201
She's good, but she...
40
00:02:43,419 --> 00:02:46,668
Latham and Pemberton both wrote
about Senator Rafferty's speech.
41
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,626
They write about it now, everyone who
can spell is writing about it next week.
42
00:02:50,799 --> 00:02:53,550
Rafferty got into the race
five minutes ago.
43
00:02:53,718 --> 00:02:55,341
New Hampshire was a coup for us.
44
00:02:55,511 --> 00:02:58,262
You're the Cinderella story.
They should write about you.
45
00:02:59,972 --> 00:03:02,593
There's only room for one
scrappy insurgency. We're it.
46
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:07,304
- You're not gonna kiss me, are you?
- See you at the airport.
47
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:10,009
Find me a copy
of the damn Rafferty speech.
48
00:04:06,396 --> 00:04:08,553
Hey there.
I didn't know you were back today.
49
00:04:08,730 --> 00:04:10,354
- Yeah, I'm back.
- How you doing?
50
00:04:10,524 --> 00:04:12,515
Did Brower send us something
on Head Start?
51
00:04:12,692 --> 00:04:14,683
- No.
- I mean, Wallace, not Brower.
52
00:04:14,859 --> 00:04:17,776
- I spoke to him about it.
- You want me to call somebody?
53
00:04:19,071 --> 00:04:20,398
No, I'll do it.
54
00:04:20,572 --> 00:04:23,193
You know,
I'm joining you today in the Oval.
55
00:04:23,408 --> 00:04:29,574
Margaret, I need a copy
of the Western Water Program.
56
00:04:29,787 --> 00:04:33,735
- And I had a blue binder marked EPA...
- Oh, God!
57
00:04:33,915 --> 00:04:37,117
Oh, God!
58
00:04:39,253 --> 00:04:42,288
- How about this one?
- Penne with red sauce.
59
00:04:42,505 --> 00:04:45,077
- This?
- Vodka with cranberry.
60
00:04:45,257 --> 00:04:48,459
You should tell me when you're out
so I can go to the dry cleaners.
61
00:04:48,634 --> 00:04:53,543
- You're my assistant, not my wife.
- It'll be less noticeable when it's dry.
62
00:04:54,388 --> 00:04:56,380
Hug the binder.
63
00:04:57,724 --> 00:05:01,304
Interior released a draft of the Western
Water Program with your revisions.
64
00:05:01,476 --> 00:05:04,975
We're going wide early. Hopefully
we get support before it hits Congress.
65
00:05:05,187 --> 00:05:07,938
- They up the numbers?
- Forty million's the best we can do.
66
00:05:08,107 --> 00:05:11,309
I may need a hand on this.
If anybody has any comments...
67
00:05:11,526 --> 00:05:13,814
...on the Energy Trust Fund Summary,
today's it.
68
00:05:13,986 --> 00:05:17,105
- I thought it went to the floor.
- Almost. Josh was handling it.
69
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:19,900
- We lost momentum when he left.
- Chronic problem, that.
70
00:05:20,115 --> 00:05:22,985
Did Josh drop it,
or did he give it to somebody, or...?
71
00:05:25,077 --> 00:05:26,868
God.
72
00:05:27,078 --> 00:05:29,403
- Nothing. Hi. Hi.
- Is this a good time?
73
00:05:29,622 --> 00:05:32,575
Yes. Annabeth's here
to discuss the DNC gala tonight.
74
00:05:32,791 --> 00:05:34,498
- Delighted to have you.
- Thank you.
75
00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:37,709
Every Democratic contender
will be in town for this event...
76
00:05:37,878 --> 00:05:40,831
...including all their staffers.
They all want a piece of you.
77
00:05:41,005 --> 00:05:42,878
If I see one coming,
duck under a table?
78
00:05:43,090 --> 00:05:45,331
Over the top,
but we're in the right area.
79
00:05:45,550 --> 00:05:47,874
I'm not avoiding
my former deputy chief of staff.
80
00:05:48,052 --> 00:05:50,886
He's gonna ask for a favor.
You'll say no and then feel bad.
81
00:05:51,054 --> 00:05:54,256
No favor, just small talk.
Could you give me that, C.J.?
82
00:05:54,474 --> 00:05:57,972
Every sitting president goes through this.
It's a time-honored annoyance.
83
00:05:58,143 --> 00:06:01,890
- Let's navigate through it gracefully.
- Thank you, all. Toby?
84
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:03,806
Yes, sir.
85
00:06:05,689 --> 00:06:07,182
I believe this is yours.
86
00:06:08,108 --> 00:06:10,681
- You doing okay?
- Yes, sir. Thank you.
87
00:06:10,902 --> 00:06:13,570
My sister-in-law was very moved
by the letter.
88
00:06:13,779 --> 00:06:16,981
- She appreciated it.
- Take as much time as you need.
89
00:06:17,615 --> 00:06:20,187
I prefer to be back at work.
Thank you, sir.
90
00:06:20,408 --> 00:06:23,242
You're not going to tell me
what happened?
91
00:06:23,410 --> 00:06:25,117
I cut myself shaving.
92
00:06:25,287 --> 00:06:26,615
With a machete.
93
00:06:26,829 --> 00:06:30,446
Very few people guess that,
but it is in fact the case.
94
00:06:34,627 --> 00:06:38,373
You should get a Band-Aid.
Some ointment.
95
00:06:38,588 --> 00:06:40,165
I'll look into that.
96
00:06:42,257 --> 00:06:44,629
Never call a woman and say,
"We have to talk. "
97
00:06:44,801 --> 00:06:47,373
- It's not nice.
- Duly noted.
98
00:06:48,553 --> 00:06:51,506
- You don't smoke, do you?
- Me? No.
99
00:06:51,682 --> 00:06:55,843
- Occasional cigar, not cigarettes.
- Yeah. Me neither.
100
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,433
They sell cigarettes here?
101
00:06:59,603 --> 00:07:02,971
- The lack of Josh is becoming a problem.
- Thinking about a replacement?
102
00:07:03,147 --> 00:07:06,811
I've been working assuming he'd return.
I never thought Santos would hang on.
103
00:07:06,984 --> 00:07:09,734
Nineteen percent in New Hampshire.
Maybe he's a contender?
104
00:07:09,902 --> 00:07:11,230
- The Water Program.
- Yes.
105
00:07:11,404 --> 00:07:15,234
Trying to sort out a three-way war with
cities, farmers and environmentalists...
106
00:07:15,407 --> 00:07:19,449
- ...who want all of the Colorado River.
- There's less than everybody thought.
107
00:07:19,618 --> 00:07:22,025
We've got lobbyists
from each group coming today.
108
00:07:22,203 --> 00:07:23,696
- What time?
- Ten is the first.
109
00:07:23,870 --> 00:07:25,577
- Urban-development lobby.
- Who is it?
110
00:07:25,747 --> 00:07:28,416
- Cliff Calley.
- No wonder you want flank support.
111
00:07:28,582 --> 00:07:30,788
Try not to worry about
the DNC thing tonight.
112
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,794
Russell will get nominated,
the president will endorse him.
113
00:07:33,962 --> 00:07:36,250
A photo at the gala
isn't gonna tip the balance.
114
00:07:36,422 --> 00:07:38,248
President's not plugging
someone else?
115
00:07:38,423 --> 00:07:40,414
- He really isn't.
- Greg Brock thinks he is.
116
00:07:40,592 --> 00:07:43,260
He came in, and he didn't sound
like a man with a hunch.
117
00:07:43,468 --> 00:07:46,421
Give him a call.
Tell him the principal wants to see him.
118
00:07:46,596 --> 00:07:48,255
- Diplomatic mission to Mali.
- Bali?
119
00:07:48,431 --> 00:07:50,303
- Mali with an M.
- Not Bali with a high?
120
00:07:50,473 --> 00:07:53,046
Thought you had a cold.
Margaret, cancel my lunch.
121
00:07:53,267 --> 00:07:55,472
- What happened to your boob?
- Really?
122
00:07:55,686 --> 00:07:59,136
Chairman of Foreign Ops is holding
a planning session for the Mali trip.
123
00:07:59,314 --> 00:08:01,436
It'd be great to have
somebody from your end.
124
00:08:01,607 --> 00:08:02,934
- Oh, sorry.
- No. Come in.
125
00:08:03,107 --> 00:08:05,015
- Help her organize Mali.
- Up on the Hill.
126
00:08:05,192 --> 00:08:07,480
Toby give you his changes
on the FOP remarks?
127
00:08:07,652 --> 00:08:09,027
- No. You don't have them?
- No.
128
00:08:09,237 --> 00:08:11,941
Ask him again.
Make sure he knows it's this week.
129
00:08:12,114 --> 00:08:15,447
State and Foreign Ops has been working
with USAID on what they call...
130
00:08:15,617 --> 00:08:18,782
... "high impact health services" for Mali.
This trip's a kickoff.
131
00:08:18,952 --> 00:08:21,573
- They're focusing on HIV?
- That and child immunization.
132
00:08:21,746 --> 00:08:24,033
Look at it.
Let me know if you have questions.
133
00:08:24,206 --> 00:08:26,412
You have any interest
in being fixed up?
134
00:08:26,583 --> 00:08:28,824
Not the kind of question
I was referring to.
135
00:08:29,043 --> 00:08:32,576
A guy at the gym. He asked if you were
seeing anyone. Guess you're famous.
136
00:08:36,798 --> 00:08:38,126
What guy?
137
00:08:38,966 --> 00:08:40,922
- I don't know his name.
- Seriously?
138
00:08:41,093 --> 00:08:42,421
We have mutual friends.
139
00:08:42,636 --> 00:08:46,086
We played a pickup game two years ago.
We were introduced at the time.
140
00:08:46,263 --> 00:08:48,670
I see him at the machines
at the gym, and it's all:
141
00:08:48,849 --> 00:08:50,675
"Hey, man, how you doing?"
142
00:08:50,850 --> 00:08:53,138
It's two years later.
I can't ask him his name.
143
00:08:53,310 --> 00:08:55,634
- He asked you to fix us up?
- Asked if you were seeing anyone.
144
00:08:55,812 --> 00:08:58,302
We were talking at the gym.
We keep sentences short.
145
00:08:58,522 --> 00:09:02,684
This is... No. And you should talk about
something else at the gym.
146
00:09:04,318 --> 00:09:06,310
I got most of it.
147
00:09:06,487 --> 00:09:09,819
- Club soda and salt.
- That's great.
148
00:09:09,989 --> 00:09:11,447
- It's wet, though.
- Yes.
149
00:09:11,657 --> 00:09:14,822
- You wanna go with the binder?
- Didn't work well the first time.
150
00:09:21,664 --> 00:09:24,533
- Here.
- Are you sure?
151
00:09:24,750 --> 00:09:26,457
Of course.
152
00:09:26,793 --> 00:09:29,497
- Can I lose the pin?
- It was my aunt's.
153
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:32,076
- She's no longer with us.
- Then you should wear it.
154
00:09:32,297 --> 00:09:34,668
- It's covering a hole.
- You ready?
155
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,128
Are you sure we shouldn't
pull Toby in for this?
156
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:39,292
For Cliff Calley,
you want a whole phalanx?
157
00:09:39,469 --> 00:09:43,085
- He got us on the Clean Air Bill.
- He's a lobbyist. He's building bridges.
158
00:09:43,263 --> 00:09:44,970
- He's slippery.
- Greg Brock's here.
159
00:09:45,139 --> 00:09:48,590
- I'll meet you in the Mural.
- She send you to her tailor?
160
00:09:49,851 --> 00:09:51,309
- Morning.
- Hi, pookie.
161
00:09:51,477 --> 00:09:54,679
- You think the president picked a horse.
- He's done more than that.
162
00:09:54,854 --> 00:09:56,976
He's channeling support.
But what do I know?
163
00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:59,016
I know a lot
for a woman of my years.
164
00:09:59,191 --> 00:10:01,764
The president supports
all Democratic candidates...
165
00:10:01,943 --> 00:10:04,611
...and will remain neutral
until after the primaries.
166
00:10:04,778 --> 00:10:07,529
- What if he did? Hypothetically?
- Back a candidate now?
167
00:10:07,739 --> 00:10:10,229
- Hypothetically.
- Congress would go through the roof.
168
00:10:10,408 --> 00:10:14,403
Anything the president tried, they'd kill.
It'd appear as support of a candidate...
169
00:10:14,578 --> 00:10:17,328
...that half the Democrats
and all Republicans despise...
170
00:10:17,496 --> 00:10:19,951
...and bring his agenda
for the year to a halt.
171
00:10:20,164 --> 00:10:22,536
If that, hypothetically,
was what was happening...
172
00:10:22,749 --> 00:10:26,448
...he probably wouldn't tell anybody.
He probably wouldn't even tell you.
173
00:10:29,338 --> 00:10:30,915
Wish I'd have been there.
174
00:10:31,089 --> 00:10:33,544
Would have been awkward.
175
00:10:34,925 --> 00:10:36,798
I'd have stood in the back.
176
00:10:37,010 --> 00:10:40,128
There must have been
a large NASA contingent.
177
00:10:40,304 --> 00:10:42,544
His wife didn't want that.
178
00:10:44,557 --> 00:10:48,387
If you didn't do what you do,
what would you do?
179
00:10:50,103 --> 00:10:51,727
Medicine, probably.
180
00:10:51,896 --> 00:10:53,686
No, it's a lie.
181
00:10:53,856 --> 00:10:55,847
I'd grow apples.
182
00:10:56,566 --> 00:11:00,514
I'd run an apple orchard
and cider mill...
183
00:11:00,694 --> 00:11:03,480
...and I'd be fat as all get-out.
184
00:11:04,238 --> 00:11:07,322
Sometimes I think
what if I was at UNICEF or United Way...
185
00:11:07,532 --> 00:11:10,402
...pulling together the AIDS fight,
or back in New York...
186
00:11:10,618 --> 00:11:15,242
...improving the public school system,
would it be a better use of my 24 hours?
187
00:11:15,622 --> 00:11:17,494
Not this.
188
00:11:17,956 --> 00:11:20,660
Not pushing on the ocean.
189
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,533
So who threw the first punch?
190
00:11:34,843 --> 00:11:38,341
- Cliff, good to see you.
- C.J. Cregg with the snazzy promotion.
191
00:11:38,512 --> 00:11:40,753
Do I bow or kiss the ring?
What's the protocol?
192
00:11:40,931 --> 00:11:43,765
Stand when I sit, sit when I stand,
yes my every question.
193
00:11:43,934 --> 00:11:46,969
You see the suit? Didn't dress like that
at Ways and Means.
194
00:11:47,144 --> 00:11:48,518
- You like?
- Where'd you get...?
195
00:11:48,686 --> 00:11:50,345
- I have a guy downtown...
- Gentlemen.
196
00:11:50,522 --> 00:11:52,228
Sorry. Your suit's nice too.
197
00:11:52,439 --> 00:11:55,190
- You look over the proposal?
- Is it gonna get a new name?
198
00:11:55,358 --> 00:11:57,100
- The Water Program?
- On the nose, no?
199
00:11:57,276 --> 00:11:58,604
You've got a better idea?
200
00:11:58,777 --> 00:12:00,934
"Water, Water Everywhere,
Not a Drop to Drink"?
201
00:12:01,112 --> 00:12:03,318
I guess you have other issues,
why don't we...?
202
00:12:03,489 --> 00:12:05,231
Hang on.
203
00:12:06,282 --> 00:12:08,653
Oh, man, I just had a d�j� vu.
204
00:12:09,993 --> 00:12:11,321
Sorry. Go ahead.
205
00:12:11,495 --> 00:12:13,949
We're trying to circumnavigate
as much as we can...
206
00:12:14,121 --> 00:12:16,243
...so let's talk
about what you're worried...
207
00:12:16,457 --> 00:12:18,994
- That's not necessary.
- The name's your only problem?
208
00:12:19,209 --> 00:12:22,411
I don't like any of it, it won't work,
but I really hate the name.
209
00:12:22,628 --> 00:12:25,628
It's not so much a solution,
but it's a good first step.
210
00:12:25,839 --> 00:12:28,708
No. It's a Band-Aid that gives
the government permission...
211
00:12:28,882 --> 00:12:31,799
...to ignore drought conditions
in 11 states for five years.
212
00:12:31,968 --> 00:12:33,509
We're not getting anywhere near it.
Where'd you get the pin?
213
00:12:33,678 --> 00:12:36,084
- From a dead woman. Can we...?
- The Drought Program.
214
00:12:36,263 --> 00:12:38,005
- Good name.
- Conservation measures...
215
00:12:38,222 --> 00:12:41,756
The Drought Plan. Because you created
a plan that will extend the drought.
216
00:12:41,933 --> 00:12:43,426
- Star that.
- It's not a drought.
217
00:12:43,601 --> 00:12:47,300
It's a drought if we were having
less than average rainfall, but we're not.
218
00:12:47,521 --> 00:12:50,474
We have 58 million people
wrestling over one river's water...
219
00:12:50,648 --> 00:12:54,016
...based on calculations taken in what
we now know were 20 flood years.
220
00:12:54,192 --> 00:12:56,398
Party's over.
I'm asking you to work with us.
221
00:12:56,610 --> 00:12:59,444
- Hey, I hear you. I hear your frustration.
- Cliff.
222
00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:00,940
Congress won't touch it.
223
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:04,777
Even if I thought more of it, the New
Mexico delegation can't vote for it...
224
00:13:04,950 --> 00:13:06,609
...it makes them look too pro-EPA.
225
00:13:06,784 --> 00:13:09,986
Sylbie in Colorado can't vote for it.
It makes him look anti-EPA.
226
00:13:10,162 --> 00:13:12,070
California Central Valley
can't support it...
227
00:13:12,289 --> 00:13:15,205
...as any funding they get
is deducted from the 42 million...
228
00:13:15,374 --> 00:13:18,160
...they're getting from the EPA
for pollution management.
229
00:13:18,334 --> 00:13:20,824
Collins might vote for it
just to piss off Sylbie...
230
00:13:21,003 --> 00:13:24,205
...but I wouldn't stake my morning
on anything Hugh Collins may do.
231
00:13:24,380 --> 00:13:25,707
He's a bit of a tippler.
232
00:13:26,299 --> 00:13:28,456
Why'd you come
if you weren't gonna play ball?
233
00:13:28,675 --> 00:13:31,379
My niece loves the M&M's
with the seal of the president.
234
00:13:31,594 --> 00:13:34,843
She takes them to school,
gets a lot of attention.
235
00:13:35,014 --> 00:13:36,341
Got any of those around?
236
00:13:39,975 --> 00:13:41,967
Sorry, Mr. Lyman.
This will take a minute.
237
00:13:42,144 --> 00:13:45,013
- No problem, Larry. Take your time.
- There you go.
238
00:13:45,188 --> 00:13:46,847
- Nothing going on today.
- Thank you.
239
00:13:47,022 --> 00:13:49,179
Just trying to win primaries.
No biggie.
240
00:13:50,274 --> 00:13:53,772
- Nope.
- You're not serious.
241
00:13:54,110 --> 00:13:59,315
Toby. Hey, Toby. Sign me in.
242
00:14:00,740 --> 00:14:03,028
- Yes?
- It's Josh. They won't let me in.
243
00:14:03,201 --> 00:14:07,576
C.J. had to cancel your lunch so I killed
the pass. Didn't get the message?
244
00:14:07,786 --> 00:14:09,825
Yeah, I'm fine about the lunch.
245
00:14:09,997 --> 00:14:13,080
Just coming in to say hello,
hang out for a bit.
246
00:14:13,249 --> 00:14:15,205
I got meetings on the Hill
all afternoon.
247
00:14:15,375 --> 00:14:17,367
Yeah. They really frown
on the hanging out.
248
00:14:17,544 --> 00:14:19,666
- You know what? Let me in.
- Hi.
249
00:14:19,837 --> 00:14:22,161
- Hey. How's it going?
- Good. Good flight?
250
00:14:22,339 --> 00:14:24,211
Yeah, it was great.
251
00:14:25,341 --> 00:14:27,249
Margaret, let me in the door.
252
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:29,418
These are contacts
for people on the trip.
253
00:14:29,594 --> 00:14:31,052
- You'll wanna touch base.
- Now?
254
00:14:31,221 --> 00:14:32,928
- No. Talk about the guy.
- I thought I was done with that.
255
00:14:33,096 --> 00:14:34,755
- What's he look like?
- A white guy.
256
00:14:34,932 --> 00:14:36,722
- Brad Pitt. Henry Kissinger.
- Stop it.
257
00:14:36,891 --> 00:14:38,717
- Hi. I need Charlie.
- We're working.
258
00:14:38,893 --> 00:14:40,801
I heard "Brad Pitt. "
You're not working.
259
00:14:40,977 --> 00:14:43,302
- The Family Leave Expansion.
- The VP wants in?
260
00:14:43,479 --> 00:14:44,806
- Hello.
- Am I interrupting?
261
00:14:44,980 --> 00:14:46,308
- You were in New Hampshire? It's nice.
- I was.
262
00:14:46,481 --> 00:14:48,307
- Call me about the announcement?
- Yeah.
263
00:14:48,483 --> 00:14:52,146
Ambassador to Mali and global AIDS
coordinator want copies of everything.
264
00:14:52,319 --> 00:14:53,693
- Sure.
- Tell me tall or short.
265
00:14:53,903 --> 00:14:56,819
He's a good-looking guy, smart,
got a job, he's not a jerk.
266
00:14:56,989 --> 00:14:58,696
I don't know his favorite color...
267
00:14:58,865 --> 00:15:01,402
...but he's got all his teeth
and almost all his hair.
268
00:15:01,575 --> 00:15:03,781
- How much is almost?
- He's got a high forehead.
269
00:15:03,953 --> 00:15:06,703
This is a bad idea. This is a bad idea.
270
00:15:06,913 --> 00:15:09,201
- Look at this woman.
- Hello, pumpkin.
271
00:15:09,373 --> 00:15:12,657
- She's a vision.
- I heard Security didn't wanna let you in.
272
00:15:12,834 --> 00:15:14,327
- New guy.
- I heard it was Larry.
273
00:15:14,502 --> 00:15:16,493
- How you doing?
- Good. A little back pain.
274
00:15:16,670 --> 00:15:18,827
- Sorry to hear that.
- I'm thinking of shiatsu.
275
00:15:19,004 --> 00:15:21,329
- That's great stuff.
- Yeah, that's what they say.
276
00:15:21,507 --> 00:15:24,626
- You're not letting me in there, are you?
- Not a chance.
277
00:15:25,301 --> 00:15:29,379
M&M's bearing the seal of the president.
This from a grown man.
278
00:15:29,554 --> 00:15:30,881
- You got any?
- What?
279
00:15:31,055 --> 00:15:33,628
The M&M's. I'm a little peckish.
280
00:15:34,307 --> 00:15:37,343
- Thank you.
- The Agriculture lobby is in an hour.
281
00:15:37,518 --> 00:15:40,269
- This better not happen with them.
- We'll get Agriculture.
282
00:15:40,436 --> 00:15:42,927
We'll handhold on the Hill.
We'll do it without him.
283
00:15:43,106 --> 00:15:45,097
Who behaves like that?
It's unprofessional.
284
00:15:45,274 --> 00:15:49,186
Yet terribly effective. You ought to have
a conversation with him.
285
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,308
I'm happy picking up the loose ends, but
Josh Lyman left a big hole in this place.
286
00:15:53,488 --> 00:15:56,524
- Maybe he's coming back, maybe not.
- You want me to hire Calley?
287
00:15:56,699 --> 00:15:58,525
He knows the Hill.
He knows his stuff.
288
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:01,190
This guy used to work
for Congressional Republicans.
289
00:16:01,369 --> 00:16:05,317
This guy shut down an investigation
of my substance-abuse history...
290
00:16:05,496 --> 00:16:08,864
...because he thought maybe
we should be governing the country.
291
00:16:09,374 --> 00:16:11,615
It's a Republican Congress.
292
00:16:11,793 --> 00:16:15,836
Not the worst thing to have someone
with relationships on both sides.
293
00:16:16,004 --> 00:16:20,331
No. He's the wrong choice.
And he's irritating. And he's obnoxious.
294
00:16:20,549 --> 00:16:22,208
That's worked for us in the past.
295
00:16:22,384 --> 00:16:24,874
Here's the part where,
due to my years of service...
296
00:16:25,094 --> 00:16:28,260
...you suspend for a moment
the Teutonic allegiance to protocol...
297
00:16:28,430 --> 00:16:32,971
- ...and shift thyself out of my way.
- Josh Lyman to see you.
298
00:16:33,142 --> 00:16:35,548
Was this place such a killjoy
when I worked here...
299
00:16:35,727 --> 00:16:38,561
- ...or have the Brown Shirts taken over?
- You're vibrating.
300
00:16:38,729 --> 00:16:40,804
I feel that. Thanks.
301
00:16:41,522 --> 00:16:45,684
Yes. No! I am in town for one day.
302
00:16:45,859 --> 00:16:49,309
Tell him he reschedules this thing again,
I'm gonna tear off his head...
303
00:16:49,487 --> 00:16:52,985
...and fashion his skull
into a decorative fruit bowl.
304
00:16:53,823 --> 00:16:55,400
- Debbie.
- Will.
305
00:16:55,574 --> 00:16:57,981
- How goes it?
- Little bit of back pain, truthfully.
306
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,152
- Sorry to hear that.
- Thinking about yoga.
307
00:17:00,328 --> 00:17:02,485
- I hear it does wonders.
- You can't see him.
308
00:17:02,662 --> 00:17:04,369
- Five minutes. Two?
- Write a letter.
309
00:17:04,539 --> 00:17:06,864
You should be stuck in double lotus.
310
00:17:07,041 --> 00:17:09,365
- With an itch.
- Good to see you.
311
00:17:09,584 --> 00:17:11,457
- Is it time for the meeting?
- Not quite.
312
00:17:11,628 --> 00:17:14,165
Making sure you're clear
on how the trip is funded.
313
00:17:14,338 --> 00:17:16,211
It's complicated,
so if you wanna talk...
314
00:17:16,380 --> 00:17:18,419
- It's really not.
- Bring him on. The guy.
315
00:17:18,591 --> 00:17:21,342
- You sure?
- Yeah. I'm ready to get off the bench.
316
00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:23,382
In the game. Like that.
317
00:17:23,552 --> 00:17:27,086
I'll put him on the list for the gala.
He'll know a bunch of people there.
318
00:17:27,263 --> 00:17:28,922
- Who?
- Jimmy Hatch, Howard Kagan.
319
00:17:29,099 --> 00:17:31,055
- He works for the government?
- It's D.C.
320
00:17:31,225 --> 00:17:33,263
- I thought he was a regular person.
- Sorry.
321
00:17:33,435 --> 00:17:35,094
You don't wanna roll out of bed...
322
00:17:35,269 --> 00:17:37,142
...with a hangover,
change in the car...
323
00:17:37,313 --> 00:17:39,352
...and find last night's
strategic error...
324
00:17:39,523 --> 00:17:41,348
...in your strategic planning session.
325
00:17:41,524 --> 00:17:43,562
Tell me I'm not having
this conversation.
326
00:17:44,151 --> 00:17:45,479
Invite him to the party.
327
00:17:45,652 --> 00:17:47,062
You see the Republican side?
328
00:17:47,237 --> 00:17:52,573
Arnie Vinick. Clean sweep. Don't panic.
He could get malaria, race is open again.
329
00:17:55,992 --> 00:17:59,111
- Am I seeing things, or is she...?
- Very.
330
00:17:59,286 --> 00:18:01,611
- I didn't know she was pregnant.
- She's pregnant.
331
00:18:01,789 --> 00:18:03,745
I didn't even know she was married.
332
00:18:05,333 --> 00:18:08,037
Right. How is the president doing?
333
00:18:08,210 --> 00:18:09,537
Not terrible.
334
00:18:09,711 --> 00:18:11,454
He gets tired and pretends he isn't.
335
00:18:11,671 --> 00:18:13,662
His legs hurt,
and he pretends they don't.
336
00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:15,711
- We're still figuring it all out.
- Yeah.
337
00:18:15,882 --> 00:18:18,419
What's up with Toby?
I saw him in the hall.
338
00:18:18,592 --> 00:18:20,999
Acted like a guy
who owed me money.
339
00:18:21,177 --> 00:18:24,462
- He's been out of it since the funeral.
- What funeral?
340
00:18:25,848 --> 00:18:27,839
- David.
- His brother?
341
00:18:28,474 --> 00:18:31,143
- He died?
- Tuesday. He was sick.
342
00:18:31,309 --> 00:18:34,226
- He went downhill pretty fast.
- Yeah, I knew he was sick. I...
343
00:18:35,521 --> 00:18:39,730
I talked to Toby last week.
Why wouldn't he say anything?
344
00:18:40,775 --> 00:18:43,941
I feel awful. I would have gone.
345
00:18:44,111 --> 00:18:47,443
None of us did.
They didn't want a whole to-do.
346
00:18:48,156 --> 00:18:50,776
- I'm gonna go.
- Yeah. Yeah.
347
00:18:52,075 --> 00:18:57,660
Hey, you think we can do a water deal
without the urban-development lobby?
348
00:18:57,829 --> 00:18:59,536
Out West? I don't know.
349
00:18:59,748 --> 00:19:04,075
You're gonna get resistance in New
Mexico and from Sylbie out of Colorado.
350
00:19:04,292 --> 00:19:07,042
You may get the California
Central Valley guys onboard...
351
00:19:07,210 --> 00:19:09,535
...but you'd have to make it
a pretty sweet deal.
352
00:19:09,713 --> 00:19:11,372
They get a nice boost from the EPA.
353
00:19:11,547 --> 00:19:15,163
They're not gonna walk away from that
without a big carrot.
354
00:19:17,385 --> 00:19:19,756
Stop it.
355
00:19:20,804 --> 00:19:22,179
- It's good to see you.
- It is.
356
00:19:22,346 --> 00:19:23,923
- How are you?
- A little back pain.
357
00:19:24,098 --> 00:19:25,971
- I'm sorry.
- Thinking about heroin.
358
00:19:26,141 --> 00:19:28,892
- Really?
- Will's not getting in. I won't repeat it.
359
00:19:42,361 --> 00:19:47,235
- How go the wars?
- I just heard about David.
360
00:19:47,448 --> 00:19:49,819
- Man, I'm so sorry.
- Thanks.
361
00:19:50,033 --> 00:19:51,609
Why didn't you call me?
362
00:19:51,826 --> 00:19:53,948
The Energy Trust Fund.
It just got dropped.
363
00:19:54,661 --> 00:19:57,614
Screw the Energy Trust Fund.
I wish I could have been at the...
364
00:19:57,830 --> 00:20:00,949
The Mental Health Commission?
You dropped a lot and walked away.
365
00:20:01,792 --> 00:20:03,582
It all got handed off.
366
00:20:04,543 --> 00:20:08,835
- Oh, yes. I gotta...
- Yeah.
367
00:20:16,594 --> 00:20:18,171
Hang on one second.
368
00:20:18,346 --> 00:20:21,215
I got a 12:00 conference call
and a 2:00 on the Hill.
369
00:20:21,390 --> 00:20:24,722
- You wanna get some food in between?
- Can't today.
370
00:20:36,274 --> 00:20:37,898
Go ahead.
371
00:20:38,068 --> 00:20:42,395
A lot of people I know are working on
these campaigns. All in the same boat.
372
00:20:42,571 --> 00:20:47,527
You're soldiers in the same war, and
then all of a sudden the borders shift.
373
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:52,940
And every word you say, and every soda
you drink has loyalty connotations.
374
00:20:53,121 --> 00:20:55,789
Could be campaigns,
or you're not ready to talk.
375
00:20:55,997 --> 00:20:58,203
- I don't have a problem talking to people.
- No?
376
00:20:58,416 --> 00:21:02,458
- I don't have a problem talking to you.
- I'm special.
377
00:21:02,669 --> 00:21:06,878
- Yes, you are.
- You think we rushed into this?
378
00:21:08,589 --> 00:21:10,248
Maybe.
379
00:21:13,719 --> 00:21:18,129
- You sorry that we did?
- I'm not, actually.
380
00:21:23,767 --> 00:21:26,055
Doesn't mean we didn't rush into it.
381
00:21:34,150 --> 00:21:36,900
What do you mean we're not
on Meet the Press? No, no.
382
00:21:37,068 --> 00:21:38,775
Call them back. Talk to Elise Baine.
383
00:21:38,945 --> 00:21:41,352
Tell her they're not bumping us
for Ricky Rafferty.
384
00:21:41,530 --> 00:21:44,150
- Hang up.
- Congressman's available tomorrow only.
385
00:21:44,323 --> 00:21:45,865
- Rafferty can wait.
- Hang up now.
386
00:21:46,034 --> 00:21:48,405
Keep your pants on. Call me back.
387
00:21:48,577 --> 00:21:50,901
I'm gonna put a hit out
on Ricky Rafferty.
388
00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:54,447
I need to talk to you,
not with a million people around.
389
00:21:58,667 --> 00:22:00,991
Is our relationship about to change?
390
00:22:01,170 --> 00:22:05,462
Rafferty put out text of the health plan.
Annabeth had a copy. Look at page three.
391
00:22:07,341 --> 00:22:09,462
"Obliterate the money-laundering
middleman...
392
00:22:09,633 --> 00:22:11,506
...between you and your doctor. "
393
00:22:11,677 --> 00:22:15,176
- Why didn't every article lead with this?
- It wasn't in the first speech.
394
00:22:15,347 --> 00:22:19,129
They released it today. It guarantees
more coverage. Look at its structure.
395
00:22:19,308 --> 00:22:22,971
It's structured like Bartlet had it
before we had him cut it out of his plan.
396
00:22:23,186 --> 00:22:26,636
Rafferty has someone from
the president's first health-care initiative.
397
00:22:26,855 --> 00:22:28,313
You, Toby, Sam, Melanie, Ken.
398
00:22:28,481 --> 00:22:30,223
- You missed one.
- No. Who'd I miss?
399
00:22:30,940 --> 00:22:32,849
The president.
400
00:22:34,651 --> 00:22:39,228
You got a second? Has the president
sat down with Senator Rafferty?
401
00:22:39,447 --> 00:22:40,857
- Josh...
- Lunch, casual?
402
00:22:41,074 --> 00:22:44,690
- Absolutely not.
- He's not sure Russell's representing...
403
00:22:44,867 --> 00:22:48,235
...Democratic values. A spoiler may move
the debate in a new direction.
404
00:22:48,453 --> 00:22:50,990
The president plans
to endorse his party's nomination.
405
00:22:51,164 --> 00:22:53,037
We assume it will be
the vice president.
406
00:22:53,207 --> 00:22:55,115
Sorry he's not
backing your candidate...
407
00:22:55,292 --> 00:22:57,829
...but he's most certainly not
backing Ricky Rafferty.
408
00:22:58,044 --> 00:22:59,667
I can see where this is heading.
409
00:22:59,878 --> 00:23:03,044
Four weeks of articles about
single-payer health care...
410
00:23:03,214 --> 00:23:05,205
...and it all reads like vintage Bartlet.
411
00:23:05,424 --> 00:23:09,087
The president's not the first guy to try
and phase out insurance companies...
412
00:23:09,260 --> 00:23:11,133
...though he was
a bit obsessed with it.
413
00:23:11,303 --> 00:23:14,552
I thought you'd burst a blood vessel
trying to talk him off it.
414
00:23:14,722 --> 00:23:16,215
Gotta be nice with lobbyists...
415
00:23:16,391 --> 00:23:18,845
...from over-subsidized
agribusiness conglomerates.
416
00:23:19,059 --> 00:23:21,763
Focus on South Carolina.
Rafferty will flame out.
417
00:23:23,562 --> 00:23:27,344
Hey, do you have any thoughts
about Russell's package? Packaging?
418
00:23:27,524 --> 00:23:31,519
If this is a "solicit my opinion so I feel
important before you ask for a favor"...
419
00:23:31,693 --> 00:23:34,183
...Donna was here.
The VP can't join the president...
420
00:23:34,362 --> 00:23:37,315
- ...at Fraternal Order of Police.
- It's not about the FOP.
421
00:23:37,489 --> 00:23:39,564
I'm grooming a man
for the highest office.
422
00:23:39,740 --> 00:23:42,574
I'm looking to perfect the image,
and they say you're good.
423
00:23:42,784 --> 00:23:44,277
- They do?
- Yes.
424
00:23:44,494 --> 00:23:46,533
These people?
425
00:23:49,122 --> 00:23:50,947
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
426
00:23:51,124 --> 00:23:54,574
- I have something in my contact lens.
- You're wearing glasses.
427
00:23:54,793 --> 00:23:57,461
- Sorry.
- Did I say something?
428
00:23:57,670 --> 00:24:01,535
No, no, it's not you. It's just....
429
00:24:02,215 --> 00:24:03,708
You know, you work somewhere...
430
00:24:03,882 --> 00:24:06,717
...and your perspective
and your experience is different...
431
00:24:06,884 --> 00:24:11,461
...from that of everyone around you.
And it's busy.
432
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,300
People don't have time
to pat each other on the back.
433
00:24:14,515 --> 00:24:17,848
And I don't want that. But, gosh...
434
00:24:18,059 --> 00:24:20,728
...it's just nice to hear that...
435
00:24:20,937 --> 00:24:23,012
...they think I'm good.
436
00:24:24,064 --> 00:24:25,392
Sorry.
437
00:24:26,065 --> 00:24:28,638
- I can come back later.
- No. The boots are over.
438
00:24:28,817 --> 00:24:31,022
The haircut was hasty,
and in the debates...
439
00:24:31,194 --> 00:24:33,316
...he's too interested
in other candidates.
440
00:24:33,529 --> 00:24:35,770
His S's are slushy, his A's are flat...
441
00:24:35,947 --> 00:24:39,149
...he exhales too loud
and inhales too often, but it's nothing...
442
00:24:39,366 --> 00:24:41,322
Nothing that can't be fixed.
443
00:24:41,493 --> 00:24:44,826
And I'm honored, really honored,
that you asked.
444
00:24:45,455 --> 00:24:46,829
- Cliff Calley.
- Thank you.
445
00:24:46,997 --> 00:24:48,324
- I was summoned?
- You were.
446
00:24:48,498 --> 00:24:49,826
- Sit.
- Heel.
447
00:24:49,999 --> 00:24:52,405
- Excuse me?
- Just seeing if it worked both ways.
448
00:24:52,585 --> 00:24:53,959
It doesn't.
449
00:24:54,127 --> 00:24:56,831
- Interested in leaving the private sector?
- Are you offering me a job?
450
00:24:57,046 --> 00:24:59,796
- I'm gauging your interest.
- A White House job.
451
00:25:00,007 --> 00:25:04,003
- Don't make me think about it too hard.
- Okay, wow. No, thanks.
452
00:25:04,718 --> 00:25:06,544
- What?
- It's a temp job.
453
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,969
Any job in this White House.
And a low-paying one at that. But, wow.
454
00:25:10,181 --> 00:25:12,505
- A temp job?
- I didn't bring my tape recorder.
455
00:25:12,682 --> 00:25:15,635
- I could've played this for my mom.
- Good. It was a bad idea.
456
00:25:15,809 --> 00:25:17,682
Leo thought you were
a bridge-builder...
457
00:25:17,853 --> 00:25:20,972
...but you're a hack working
for cookie-cutter condo builders...
458
00:25:21,147 --> 00:25:23,055
...and hotel magnates.
How do you sleep?
459
00:25:23,273 --> 00:25:25,644
- Ativan.
- I met with lobbyists on this water deal.
460
00:25:25,816 --> 00:25:27,310
Only you wouldn't budge a bit.
461
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:30,645
Let's talk about agribusiness monsters
who siphoned 90 percent...
462
00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:33,690
...of the Colorado River into irrigation
of California rice.
463
00:25:33,906 --> 00:25:36,147
We're most safe
when we're our own food source.
464
00:25:36,366 --> 00:25:39,235
Grow food. Fine. It's a desert.
They grow monsoon crops.
465
00:25:39,452 --> 00:25:41,360
- I don't need you on this.
- You're right.
466
00:25:41,536 --> 00:25:44,026
I could jump in,
and you still wouldn't get a deal...
467
00:25:44,205 --> 00:25:46,909
...because the Senate will love it
and the House won't.
468
00:25:47,123 --> 00:25:49,329
Let me thank you
for your honesty and service.
469
00:25:49,542 --> 00:25:51,914
Okay, you wanna know
how I sleep at night?
470
00:25:52,086 --> 00:25:54,243
There's a drought in Kenya,
in Zambia.
471
00:25:54,420 --> 00:25:58,582
There's a drought in India and Pakistan
and Ecuador and Paraguay...
472
00:25:58,757 --> 00:26:02,042
...and there's a drought in Malawi
and Uganda and Australia.
473
00:26:02,218 --> 00:26:05,420
We're the only nation that can afford
the $ 10-billion investment...
474
00:26:05,595 --> 00:26:07,634
...it takes
for desalination technology...
475
00:26:07,806 --> 00:26:10,675
...and the government's
never gonna do that unless forced...
476
00:26:10,891 --> 00:26:14,472
...because there's a major national
water crisis and they're taking heat...
477
00:26:14,644 --> 00:26:17,395
...from cookie-cutter condo builders
and hotel magnates.
478
00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:20,981
- Get out of my office.
- Nice.
479
00:26:24,734 --> 00:26:27,271
Immigration bill's getting gutted
in committee.
480
00:26:27,444 --> 00:26:30,148
You see Rafferty's health-care plan?
481
00:26:30,947 --> 00:26:33,698
Yeah. Who was your point person
on immigration?
482
00:26:33,907 --> 00:26:37,240
"Obliterate the middleman
between you and your doctor. "
483
00:26:37,410 --> 00:26:39,734
Does it bother you someone's
stealing your stuff?
484
00:26:39,954 --> 00:26:42,242
- Does that trouble you at all?
- It doesn't.
485
00:26:42,455 --> 00:26:44,530
It would. You're not a good sharer.
486
00:26:44,957 --> 00:26:48,869
Only way it doesn't bother you
is if you handed it to him yourself.
487
00:26:49,043 --> 00:26:51,794
- Shut the door.
- Ricky Rafferty? Are you crazy?
488
00:26:52,671 --> 00:26:55,790
I've just eked out a lead.
My guy's the little engine that could.
489
00:26:55,965 --> 00:26:58,716
- What were you thinking?
- I don't know. I thought maybe...
490
00:26:58,925 --> 00:27:02,424
...there should be somebody in the field
who talks like a Democrat.
491
00:27:02,636 --> 00:27:05,387
You wasted the opportunity.
You and your garage-sale find.
492
00:27:05,597 --> 00:27:07,672
- My what?
- Ethanol pledge?
493
00:27:07,890 --> 00:27:10,725
- I'm trying to win a race.
- Matthew Santos isn't gonna win.
494
00:27:10,892 --> 00:27:14,556
You got a chance to shape the debate,
strengthen the party, and you blew it!
495
00:27:14,729 --> 00:27:19,389
You ran to the center for a stinking
19 percent in New Hampshire?
496
00:27:19,566 --> 00:27:21,890
You shouldn't try to win.
You don't have the man.
497
00:27:22,109 --> 00:27:23,982
You think I left to shape the debate?
498
00:27:24,193 --> 00:27:27,028
- Somebody's got to.
- This is your contribution to the party?
499
00:27:27,195 --> 00:27:29,946
The world needed another
going-nowhere health-care plan?
500
00:27:30,115 --> 00:27:32,023
The world needed to hear
one useful idea.
501
00:27:32,241 --> 00:27:34,612
Now every viable candidate
has to waste airtime...
502
00:27:34,784 --> 00:27:37,535
...on why they do or don't
support socialized medicine.
503
00:27:37,745 --> 00:27:41,610
There's a profiting industry leeching the
life out of this country's health care.
504
00:27:41,789 --> 00:27:44,955
- Got something better to discuss?
- You're dragging the field left.
505
00:27:45,167 --> 00:27:47,158
- Good!
- You could have fed me ideas.
506
00:27:47,336 --> 00:27:49,374
- You don't like how I'm running this.
- How?
507
00:27:49,587 --> 00:27:51,993
- How? Telephone.
- How?
508
00:27:52,213 --> 00:27:54,122
- What are we discussing?
- You didn't ask.
509
00:27:54,341 --> 00:27:57,673
Why the hell didn't you come to me
before you picked Santos?
510
00:27:57,885 --> 00:28:00,801
Do you have any idea how strong a force
we would have been...
511
00:28:00,970 --> 00:28:02,962
...had we taken on
a candidate together?
512
00:28:03,138 --> 00:28:05,094
- I'm asking you now.
- Yeah, well, no.
513
00:28:05,307 --> 00:28:07,761
- That's it? That's your answer?
- That's my answer.
514
00:28:08,434 --> 00:28:12,181
- You are a selfish, petty...
- Get out.
515
00:28:12,395 --> 00:28:15,728
...waste of the oxygen in the air
that useful people could be using.
516
00:28:15,898 --> 00:28:19,100
- Get out!
- You get out, you selfish son of a bitch!
517
00:28:19,275 --> 00:28:24,979
My brother and I used to collect pennies,
pick them up off the street...
518
00:28:25,154 --> 00:28:29,779
...put them in an old whiskey bottle
we swiped from my old man.
519
00:28:30,867 --> 00:28:33,986
Every few months or so,
we'd go to the bank...
520
00:28:34,577 --> 00:28:36,533
...to get these paper things.
521
00:28:36,704 --> 00:28:40,037
Tubes to make rolls of change.
522
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:42,827
My brother said:
523
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,333
"Never walk down the street
without a roll of pennies in your pocket. "
524
00:28:46,544 --> 00:28:50,789
You belt a guy
with a roll of pennies in your fist...
525
00:28:50,965 --> 00:28:52,422
...you do some damage.
526
00:28:53,132 --> 00:28:54,507
Get out!
527
00:29:04,474 --> 00:29:06,264
Get off!
528
00:29:39,207 --> 00:29:41,958
Oh, good. Can you ask Charlie
to get me some background...
529
00:29:42,127 --> 00:29:45,210
...on desalination technology
when he gets back from the Hill?
530
00:29:46,045 --> 00:29:48,037
What?
531
00:30:16,860 --> 00:30:20,228
Maybe you should take a week.
Go back to New York.
532
00:30:20,404 --> 00:30:22,194
I don't want a week.
533
00:30:22,405 --> 00:30:26,152
You don't have to want it. I'm not sure
you're doing yourself any good here.
534
00:30:26,366 --> 00:30:27,824
I'll be fine.
535
00:30:28,035 --> 00:30:30,525
I'm not sure you're doing us
any good here right now.
536
00:30:30,703 --> 00:30:32,529
There are some things being missed.
537
00:30:32,746 --> 00:30:34,287
- What?
- Oh, stupid stuff.
538
00:30:34,456 --> 00:30:37,658
Remarks to the Fraternal Order of Police,
which I don't care about.
539
00:30:37,833 --> 00:30:40,952
- I'm happy to take it for you. Tell me.
- I'll do it.
540
00:30:41,169 --> 00:30:43,244
You will?
541
00:30:44,922 --> 00:30:46,913
How are David's kids doing?
542
00:30:48,716 --> 00:30:51,087
As... Just great.
543
00:30:52,135 --> 00:30:55,585
If that's where you should be,
there's nothing, nothing more important.
544
00:30:55,804 --> 00:30:58,721
I'm aware of what's important
in this landscape. Thanks.
545
00:31:00,683 --> 00:31:05,059
When you lose somebody like that...
546
00:31:05,228 --> 00:31:08,726
...that young and healthy,
and gone to some senseless cancer...
547
00:31:08,939 --> 00:31:10,480
Can we not do this, please?
548
00:31:10,690 --> 00:31:14,816
Give yourself some time to sit
with his kids and look at his picture.
549
00:31:15,735 --> 00:31:17,394
I don't wanna look at his picture.
550
00:31:25,701 --> 00:31:27,574
He did this.
551
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,195
He did this.
552
00:31:31,413 --> 00:31:37,532
You understand? He sat in a garage
with the engine running.
553
00:31:48,342 --> 00:31:52,552
- He was sick.
- No. He was diagnosed.
554
00:31:54,847 --> 00:31:56,922
He could have had years.
555
00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:01,927
But instead, this. His wife finds him.
What if one of his kids had?
556
00:32:03,019 --> 00:32:05,592
Just drop everything and walk away.
557
00:32:07,106 --> 00:32:11,267
It's Jewish tradition that you don't
leave the body alone before the funeral.
558
00:32:11,442 --> 00:32:15,189
Someone stays and guards it.
559
00:32:16,112 --> 00:32:20,653
And I sat in that room for hours,
watching him...
560
00:32:23,576 --> 00:32:26,066
...trying to figure out what was...
561
00:32:26,661 --> 00:32:28,534
What could have...
562
00:32:29,789 --> 00:32:31,911
...gone through his brain.
563
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,666
I'm not interested
in looking at his picture.
564
00:32:52,263 --> 00:32:53,886
You want some water?
565
00:32:54,098 --> 00:32:55,888
No.
566
00:32:56,725 --> 00:32:58,716
Scotch?
567
00:32:59,852 --> 00:33:01,262
No.
568
00:33:04,522 --> 00:33:06,229
You want me to go?
569
00:33:10,568 --> 00:33:12,441
No.
570
00:33:20,742 --> 00:33:22,780
You stopped.
571
00:33:25,871 --> 00:33:30,080
You were about to answer my question.
How'd he die?
572
00:33:35,211 --> 00:33:37,202
Cancer.
573
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,127
Check in with USAID.
They're not good with details.
574
00:33:51,306 --> 00:33:53,179
Yeah.
575
00:33:55,184 --> 00:33:57,092
Can we call DOD,
find out the guy's name?
576
00:33:57,268 --> 00:33:58,927
I'll find out before you meet him.
577
00:33:59,103 --> 00:34:00,810
I wanna know what I'm getting into.
578
00:34:00,979 --> 00:34:04,312
You do an NSC background check
before dates? No wonder it's been slow.
579
00:34:04,482 --> 00:34:06,972
I'm not gonna do a check.
I wanna poke around at DOD.
580
00:34:07,150 --> 00:34:09,854
- He doesn't work at DOD.
- You said he worked with Kagan.
581
00:34:10,028 --> 00:34:12,518
- He plays ball with them, works at State.
- What desk?
582
00:34:12,696 --> 00:34:14,605
- South America. Maybe Paraguay.
- Uruguay?
583
00:34:14,781 --> 00:34:16,440
- Yes.
- Red hair? Dick Van Dyke nose?
584
00:34:16,616 --> 00:34:19,236
- You know him?
- I used to be married to him.
585
00:34:19,952 --> 00:34:23,485
"Is Kate Harper seeing anyone?"
I misunderstood the initial inquiry.
586
00:34:38,006 --> 00:34:40,627
Since when do you wear specs?
587
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,507
I don't.
588
00:34:42,676 --> 00:34:45,426
- Somebody leave them?
- Yeah.
589
00:34:45,595 --> 00:34:47,717
- They're not mine, are they?
- Don't think so.
590
00:34:47,888 --> 00:34:49,547
- I lost a pair...
- They're not yours.
591
00:34:49,722 --> 00:34:52,010
- They look like mine.
- They're my brother's.
592
00:34:58,396 --> 00:35:01,728
- Can you see through them?
- I don't know.
593
00:35:02,774 --> 00:35:04,980
- You going to this DNC thing?
- Yeah.
594
00:35:05,151 --> 00:35:08,731
- I understand you have a favorite.
- You here to fight Josh Lyman's battles?
595
00:35:08,903 --> 00:35:11,524
You can't be doing this
from the White House.
596
00:35:11,697 --> 00:35:14,151
- Leo.
- You can't do this to the president.
597
00:35:14,365 --> 00:35:18,277
You think the president doesn't want
genuine Democratic values...
598
00:35:18,452 --> 00:35:21,902
...in a national presidential contest?
He'd do this himself if he could.
599
00:35:22,121 --> 00:35:25,619
I'm doing this for the president.
He could help Russell now if he wanted.
600
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:28,874
Joint appearances, a bill signing
with the VP right by his side.
601
00:35:29,084 --> 00:35:31,372
- Rafferty's the alternative?
- We do what we can.
602
00:35:31,545 --> 00:35:34,165
It's not your job.
You don't pick losing candidates...
603
00:35:34,338 --> 00:35:36,330
...and usher them
to their principled end.
604
00:35:36,506 --> 00:35:39,340
You're the guy who takes good men
and makes them great.
605
00:35:39,508 --> 00:35:42,674
You and Josh still think you're
barking at the heels of the party.
606
00:35:42,845 --> 00:35:44,920
You are the party.
607
00:35:45,513 --> 00:35:48,003
Rafferty's a spoiler.
Shouldn't be in the race.
608
00:35:48,223 --> 00:35:50,049
- I'm not sitting this one out.
- Don't.
609
00:35:50,224 --> 00:35:53,639
But don't pretend you're still
an outsider with a ponytail and a dream.
610
00:35:53,810 --> 00:35:56,016
You work in the White House.
611
00:36:02,442 --> 00:36:05,561
Your brother didn't have
any more fight in him.
612
00:36:09,197 --> 00:36:11,484
You still do.
613
00:36:16,035 --> 00:36:18,441
You're gonna be here
between Clarkson and Rafferty.
614
00:36:18,620 --> 00:36:21,988
The president comes up, everybody
holds hands, picture, and we're gone.
615
00:36:22,164 --> 00:36:24,156
The president's between
Russell and Hoynes.
616
00:36:24,333 --> 00:36:26,075
- Everybody's in.
- I'm second to left.
617
00:36:26,250 --> 00:36:28,372
You don't have a problem
with this symbolism?
618
00:36:28,544 --> 00:36:31,165
Second only to Rafferty,
who's all the way to the left.
619
00:36:31,338 --> 00:36:34,622
You're a Democrat. Left is not
a crime. Liberal is not a dirty word.
620
00:36:34,799 --> 00:36:37,798
We got New Hampshire because
people responded to your policies.
621
00:36:37,967 --> 00:36:40,457
The temptation to grab at center
is only gonna grow.
622
00:36:40,636 --> 00:36:43,422
- Remember where you came from.
- I can't remember.
623
00:36:43,638 --> 00:36:46,472
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean...
- I was born a poor black child.
624
00:36:46,641 --> 00:36:49,391
- Close, but no.
- If you shake hands with the president...
625
00:36:49,559 --> 00:36:52,643
...hang on as long as possible,
give cameras a chance to get it.
626
00:36:52,853 --> 00:36:55,308
- I was born on the bayou?
- That's not it either.
627
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,938
Matt Santos. Good to meet you.
628
00:36:57,148 --> 00:37:01,310
- Half an hour of grip and grin, that's it.
- Grin, really. I'm not supposed to grip.
629
00:37:01,484 --> 00:37:05,147
- You're leaving before the speeches...
- In deference to my health.
630
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,988
There's an excuse we could have
started using years ago.
631
00:37:08,156 --> 00:37:11,322
I found a few people who aren't
connected to any of the campaigns.
632
00:37:11,492 --> 00:37:14,029
- You should focus attention on them.
- You made a list?
633
00:37:14,202 --> 00:37:17,865
- I'll point them out. There are six.
- I hope you're on that list.
634
00:37:23,500 --> 00:37:25,622
You know what?
We should get a shot of...
635
00:37:26,377 --> 00:37:28,701
Can this be one of those nights
we get sloshed...
636
00:37:28,879 --> 00:37:32,330
- ...and forget we work together?
- Wow, that would be lovely.
637
00:37:32,507 --> 00:37:33,917
Josh is here.
638
00:37:34,091 --> 00:37:37,754
If you're gonna go at it again, let me
know in time to put some money on it.
639
00:37:37,927 --> 00:37:40,215
I'm gonna go downstairs
to the bar for a while.
640
00:37:40,430 --> 00:37:42,386
Yell if you need me.
641
00:37:42,556 --> 00:37:44,678
- C.J.
- Cliff.
642
00:37:44,849 --> 00:37:47,386
I was summoned again.
It's gotta stop.
643
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,058
One gets drunk with the power. I'm hiring
you to work in the White House.
644
00:37:51,229 --> 00:37:54,431
I looked into what you said
about desalination. You've got a point.
645
00:37:54,606 --> 00:37:57,096
I think you may be soulless,
but we can work on that.
646
00:37:57,316 --> 00:37:59,308
- I turned you down.
- Nobody turns us down.
647
00:37:59,484 --> 00:38:01,275
We're like the Mob, but less violent.
648
00:38:01,445 --> 00:38:04,444
Ultimately responsible for more death
and destruction. Still...
649
00:38:04,655 --> 00:38:08,271
- You don't think I'm an odd choice?
- We got a few months and a lot to do...
650
00:38:08,450 --> 00:38:11,070
...and I think you miss
serving your country.
651
00:38:11,243 --> 00:38:14,409
Take a second and breathe. In
a moment, you're gonna wish you had.
652
00:38:14,579 --> 00:38:16,451
Pardon me, sir. This is Cliff Calley.
653
00:38:16,621 --> 00:38:19,824
We had a great chat today about
your water program. He's a big fan.
654
00:38:19,999 --> 00:38:22,489
- Good to meet you, Mr. Calley.
- It's an honor, sir...
655
00:38:22,668 --> 00:38:26,166
...but I'm afraid Ms. Cregg may have
slightly misrepresented my position.
656
00:38:26,337 --> 00:38:30,582
C.J., he's not a fan. The deal was you
were to surround me with sycophants.
657
00:38:30,757 --> 00:38:35,298
This is one of the six people you're
allowed to speak to. Take your time.
658
00:38:40,181 --> 00:38:43,015
Lookie, lookie.
I thought you weren't coming.
659
00:38:43,183 --> 00:38:44,759
Yeah. Me too.
660
00:38:44,933 --> 00:38:49,059
- It's time to get back in the pool.
- Good for you. Sorry I couldn't help.
661
00:38:49,228 --> 00:38:53,010
Once upon a time,
I did this all by myself.
662
00:38:58,736 --> 00:39:00,312
- Hi.
- Evening.
663
00:39:00,487 --> 00:39:04,233
- What can I get you?
- A glass of red, please. Whatever's open.
664
00:39:15,581 --> 00:39:16,991
- Pathetic.
- Avoid the Swiss.
665
00:39:17,165 --> 00:39:18,492
As a general rule?
666
00:39:18,708 --> 00:39:20,830
I didn't know they made you
come to these.
667
00:39:21,001 --> 00:39:22,329
- I take an interest.
- Really?
668
00:39:22,503 --> 00:39:24,909
Change of scenery.
No reason for being here.
669
00:39:25,088 --> 00:39:26,913
- Let's keep it between us.
- No problem.
670
00:39:27,090 --> 00:39:30,504
I'm on my 82nd of what's bound
to be 350 identical conversations.
671
00:39:30,717 --> 00:39:32,792
- I think I'm losing my voice.
- That's awful.
672
00:39:33,594 --> 00:39:35,918
Mind if I stand here
and pretend we're talking...
673
00:39:36,096 --> 00:39:39,298
- ...but we actually don't?
- Sure.
674
00:40:19,669 --> 00:40:23,830
You sound like a guy
formulating an exit strategy.
675
00:40:24,005 --> 00:40:28,333
- I don't know. Could be.
- Can't say I'm entirely surprised.
676
00:40:28,508 --> 00:40:31,259
Senator Rafferty?
They're ready for you upstairs.
677
00:40:31,428 --> 00:40:33,135
I'll be right there. Thank you.
678
00:40:37,098 --> 00:40:39,802
I think you said some things
this country needs to hear.
679
00:40:40,016 --> 00:40:42,423
You've established yourself
as a national presence.
680
00:40:42,602 --> 00:40:45,389
You step out before Super Tuesday...
681
00:40:45,604 --> 00:40:48,640
...before anybody's shot
at a nomination is foiled...
682
00:40:48,815 --> 00:40:52,265
...by what would be considered
a spoiler...
683
00:40:52,693 --> 00:40:55,099
...maybe there's a vice presidency
in this for you.
684
00:40:55,278 --> 00:40:57,316
I'm not pulling out
before South Carolina.
685
00:40:57,487 --> 00:40:59,396
- I did this to make a point.
- Absolutely.
686
00:40:59,573 --> 00:41:02,526
And I wanna make sure
that everybody's heard it.
687
00:41:02,908 --> 00:41:06,489
- I certainly never...
- I've gotta step out now.
688
00:41:09,455 --> 00:41:11,327
Yeah.
689
00:41:12,749 --> 00:41:15,120
I should go.
690
00:41:16,126 --> 00:41:19,126
I'm gonna finish my drink.
You've got my number if you need it.
691
00:41:19,336 --> 00:41:21,293
Yeah, I do.
692
00:41:23,548 --> 00:41:25,587
Put them on. Let me see.
693
00:41:32,138 --> 00:41:34,011
Looks good.
694
00:41:34,348 --> 00:41:35,924
Makes you look smart.
695
00:41:37,933 --> 00:41:40,637
I thought I looked smart before.
696
00:41:43,355 --> 00:41:45,061
So did I.59968
