<i>Previously:</i>

2
00:00:08,258 --> 00:00:11,552
- Flowers.
- I'll up your protection.

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,302
I'm starting college.

4
00:00:13,511 --> 00:00:17,597
- This is Special Agent Gina Toscano.
- How do you do?

5
00:00:17,848 --> 00:00:19,807
Zoey, walk on the other side.

6
00:00:20,015 --> 00:00:22,642
- You like opera?
- You're asking me out.

7
00:00:22,851 --> 00:00:25,810
- You got an itch for Seaborn.
- I do not.

8
00:00:26,018 --> 00:00:30,188
Roberto Mendoza is the president's
Supreme Court nominee.

9
00:00:30,397 --> 00:00:32,773
Sam and Toby will be in charge.

10
00:00:32,982 --> 00:00:37,401
It's gonna be a battle
I don't intend to lose.

11
00:00:43,779 --> 00:00:45,531
<i>-Senator Crossfield. </i>
<i>-Yea. </i>

12
00:00:47,949 --> 00:00:52,034
Congratulations, everybody!
Only one drink per person.

13
00:00:52,285 --> 00:00:54,744
- Who's driving?
- Put it down!

14
00:00:54,953 --> 00:00:58,997
- Put it down! No champagne.
- We're just...

15
00:00:59,247 --> 00:01:04,750
Put it down. Everyone in this room,
let me have your attention.

16
00:01:05,001 --> 00:01:09,795
The law mandates that presidential
appointees be confirmed...

17
00:01:10,004 --> 00:01:14,298
...by a Senate majority
for a total of what?

18
00:01:14,506 --> 00:01:19,968
Fifty-one votes is what we see
before a drop of wine is swallowed!

19
00:01:20,218 --> 00:01:25,763
Because there's a thing called what?
"Tempting fate" is what it's called.

20
00:01:27,181 --> 00:01:32,434
Since this man has been on
my radar screen, I have aged 48 years.

21
00:01:32,642 --> 00:01:35,561
I will not have this day
screwed up by:

22
00:01:35,769 --> 00:01:39,730
- By tempting fate.
- By tempting fate!

23
00:01:40,856 --> 00:01:44,400
These things take patience,
skill, luck.

24
00:01:44,608 --> 00:01:49,111
Since we've been in office,
what kind of luck have we had?

25
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,113
- Bad luck.
- What kind of luck?

26
00:01:52,988 --> 00:01:56,616
- Very bad luck.
- We've had very bad luck.

27
00:02:00,367 --> 00:02:05,287
- Where's Josh?
- Josh? They're at 19 "yea" votes.

28
00:02:05,537 --> 00:02:09,624
I need to talk to Mandy
about a banana bar?

29
00:02:09,874 --> 00:02:11,249
Panda bear.

30
00:02:11,499 --> 00:02:15,085
- Panda bear? That's a "D"?
- Yeah.

31
00:02:15,293 --> 00:02:16,669
- That's an "E"?
- Yeah.

32
00:02:16,878 --> 00:02:21,380
Show me where one word ends
and the next one begins.

33
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:25,091
- We have to go.
- She wants to talk about a panda?

34
00:02:25,341 --> 00:02:31,428
- You sure you got the message right?
- Have I ever gotten a message wrong?

35
00:02:31,637 --> 00:02:37,057
A panda's what I think it is?
Australian, eats off the koala tree?

36
00:02:37,307 --> 00:02:40,309
- That's a koala bear.
- Panda's the other.

37
00:02:40,558 --> 00:02:43,060
How can you not know the difference?

38
00:02:43,268 --> 00:02:46,646
For someone who hasn't
mastered the alphabet...

39
00:02:48,271 --> 00:02:51,857
- My penmanship is distinctive.
- It's illegible.

40
00:02:52,066 --> 00:02:54,359
- Where's Sam?
- Watching the vote.

41
00:02:54,609 --> 00:02:57,611
- Can you believe him?
- Sam? No.

42
00:02:57,819 --> 00:03:00,237
- You think you know a guy.
- Yeah.

43
00:03:00,488 --> 00:03:02,697
- You don't know what I mean.
- No.

44
00:03:02,906 --> 00:03:04,156
- Okay.
- Okay.

45
00:03:04,365 --> 00:03:06,741
<i>-Votes "yea. "</i>
- Toby!

46
00:03:06,991 --> 00:03:10,077
How about some champagne?
What the hell?

47
00:03:10,327 --> 00:03:12,078
- Ginger?
- Tempting fate.

48
00:03:12,328 --> 00:03:13,828
Go grab Leo.

49
00:03:14,079 --> 00:03:17,706
It's distinctive style,
like Salvador Dali.

50
00:03:17,915 --> 00:03:20,124
Please get Leo.

51
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:24,585
I can't believe
you're talking like this.

52
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:28,962
It's a book jacket, Sydney.

53
00:03:29,213 --> 00:03:33,758
We're gonna make a federal
case out of a book jacket?

54
00:03:33,965 --> 00:03:38,219
- It's time.
- I'll bring him here and talk to him.

55
00:03:38,427 --> 00:03:43,597
We're closing what wasn't
the easiest confirmation process.

56
00:03:43,806 --> 00:03:48,350
You'll understand if I'm not giddy
about the thought...

57
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,561
...of running into the embrace
of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

58
00:03:54,687 --> 00:03:55,729
What was that?

59
00:03:55,938 --> 00:04:00,273
An appointment favors
reparations to African-Americans.

60
00:04:00,482 --> 00:04:03,776
- What for?
- Keeping their ancestors as slaves.

61
00:04:04,026 --> 00:04:06,903
- What kind of reparation?
- Money.

62
00:04:07,152 --> 00:04:09,405
- Hey, honey.
- Loser!

63
00:04:09,612 --> 00:04:12,906
<i>Senator Pearson votes "yea. "</i>

64
00:04:13,115 --> 00:04:14,949
- Toby?
- Not yet.

65
00:04:15,157 --> 00:04:17,367
- Our day of jubilee.
- Not yet.

66
00:04:18,451 --> 00:04:20,744
- Sam.
- It's my day of jubilee.

67
00:04:20,953 --> 00:04:24,247
I despise you
and everything you stand for.

68
00:04:24,497 --> 00:04:27,623
My day was a bit better
a few seconds ago.

69
00:04:27,832 --> 00:04:30,959
How could you write that?
Don't play dumb.

70
00:04:31,167 --> 00:04:34,753
I am dumb. Most of the time
I'm playing smart.

71
00:04:34,961 --> 00:04:38,004
Are you thinking about ruining my day?

72
00:04:38,213 --> 00:04:42,341
- I was considering it.
- Fifty! Here we go, baby!

73
00:04:42,549 --> 00:04:46,802
Sam, Toby, you're putting a guy
on the Supreme Court.

74
00:04:47,010 --> 00:04:49,011
<i>Senator Rindell. </i>

75
00:04:51,805 --> 00:04:52,972
<i>Yea. </i>

76
00:04:56,724 --> 00:04:59,726
Toby! How about now?

77
00:05:50,799 --> 00:05:53,342
Dali had distinctive penmanship?

78
00:05:53,551 --> 00:05:55,719
- Yes.
- How is it distinctive?

79
00:05:55,927 --> 00:05:59,679
- For one thing, he wrote in Spanish.
- He was Spanish.

80
00:05:59,888 --> 00:06:02,848
Which accounts for his penmanship.

81
00:06:03,098 --> 00:06:05,808
Am I interrupting
something important?

82
00:06:06,017 --> 00:06:10,978
- I can't tell you how you're not.
- Do you mind if I have a...?

83
00:06:12,228 --> 00:06:16,606
I'll go see if people are having fun
in the other room.

84
00:06:16,814 --> 00:06:18,441
What's up?

85
00:06:18,649 --> 00:06:21,568
Our assistant attorney
general nominee...

86
00:06:22,067 --> 00:06:24,069
- It's gonna sail.
- It's not.

87
00:06:24,819 --> 00:06:28,655
- Breckenridge?
- Stadler has a problem with him.

88
00:06:28,906 --> 00:06:32,240
- What?
- He supports slavery reparations.

89
00:06:32,490 --> 00:06:34,367
- Since when?
- Whenever.

90
00:06:34,575 --> 00:06:36,869
Was there a thing?

91
00:06:37,076 --> 00:06:41,997
Two sentences on the back of a book
called <i>The Unpaid Debt. </i>

92
00:06:42,204 --> 00:06:44,748
- That's it?
- Stadler's unhappy.

93
00:06:44,956 --> 00:06:50,043
- Because of a thing on a dust cover?
- I've been singing the same song.

94
00:06:50,251 --> 00:06:52,836
- Talk to him tomorrow.
- Stadler?

95
00:06:53,086 --> 00:06:56,714
- Breckenridge.
- I'm not the guy for this.

96
00:06:56,922 --> 00:06:59,341
Yeah. You are.

97
00:07:00,716 --> 00:07:03,468
- What's that?
- C.J.'ll do "The Jackal. "

98
00:07:03,718 --> 00:07:06,470
Where she lip-synchs? I love that.

99
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,138
Toby's better.
Look at the confirmation.

100
00:07:10,347 --> 00:07:14,266
Toby's barely alive as a result.
This one's you.

101
00:07:14,475 --> 00:07:18,769
- Let's go watch.
- I'm a white guy from Connecticut.

102
00:07:18,977 --> 00:07:23,938
Isn't this a delicate subject
to get into with a black lawyer?

103
00:07:24,147 --> 00:07:27,107
- You're also Jewish.
- Then he'll love me.

104
00:07:27,316 --> 00:07:30,484
- Where's Sam?
- In his office.

105
00:07:30,692 --> 00:07:33,611
Tell him to come to the press room.

106
00:07:33,819 --> 00:07:37,697
- It was a position paper.
- Vouchers are a good idea?

107
00:07:37,906 --> 00:07:40,032
- How'd you get this?
- Your boss.

108
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,159
Your father? He's trying to drive
a wedge between us.

109
00:07:44,368 --> 00:07:46,243
It worked.

110
00:07:46,452 --> 00:07:49,454
- C.J.'s doing "The Jackal. "
- Be right there.

111
00:07:49,662 --> 00:07:54,082
We had something. You haven't
told me you favor vouchers?

112
00:07:54,290 --> 00:07:57,459
Hang on.
We haven't been on a date yet.

113
00:07:57,709 --> 00:08:02,754
- What kind of dates have you had?
- I'm a public school teacher.

114
00:08:02,962 --> 00:08:05,839
The other guys say, "Before we go... "

115
00:08:06,047 --> 00:08:11,384
- Are you gonna be serious?
- No! You know why? I am off duty.

116
00:08:11,634 --> 00:08:17,262
Toby and I put a guy on the bench.
I've earned my salary and then some.

117
00:08:17,471 --> 00:08:20,807
I'm done.
Our date's supposed to be tonight.

118
00:08:21,015 --> 00:08:25,726
We're gonna watch C.J. do "The Jackal,"
which is like Shakespeare.

119
00:08:25,935 --> 00:08:30,270
We're gonna watch C.J.,
then get a late dinner...

120
00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:32,814
...after which I may kiss you.

121
00:08:33,022 --> 00:08:36,274
You're not doing a good job
on your part.

122
00:08:36,482 --> 00:08:39,234
- I'm taking over.
- You're taking over?

123
00:08:39,442 --> 00:08:41,693
- Let's go.
- Not much chance.

124
00:08:41,902 --> 00:08:45,822
- Give me credit for trying.
- Good night, skipper.

125
00:08:46,696 --> 00:08:49,615
Apparently you don't give me credit.

126
00:08:49,824 --> 00:08:53,451
Yeah, come on, do "The Jackal"!

127
00:09:20,092 --> 00:09:23,761
Speed bump with Breckenridge.
Leo gave it to me.

128
00:09:24,011 --> 00:09:27,180
He thinks you're
burned out on Mendoza.

129
00:09:27,388 --> 00:09:30,890
- You're talking to me during this?
- I was...

130
00:09:31,099 --> 00:09:35,434
- Never talk to me during "The Jackal. "
- Sure.

131
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,157
- Hey.
- Hey.

132
00:09:59,366 --> 00:10:02,451
Mallory read my position paper
on vouchers.

133
00:10:02,660 --> 00:10:06,871
Really? How do you suppose
she got ahold of that?

134
00:10:07,079 --> 00:10:09,038
You gave it to her.

135
00:10:09,247 --> 00:10:11,957
Vouchers are a serious
subject with her.

136
00:10:12,165 --> 00:10:16,376
- Thanks.
- I don't mind you dating my daughter.

137
00:10:16,585 --> 00:10:19,169
But don't expect me not to have fun.

138
00:10:19,378 --> 00:10:22,839
Mallory and I haven't
actually been on a date yet.

139
00:10:23,089 --> 00:10:25,881
You hang in there, son.

140
00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:17,830
- "The Jackal"?
- What are you doing here?

141
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,749
- I missed "The Jackal"?
- I was on fire.

142
00:11:20,957 --> 00:11:23,959
- That's gotta feel good.
- It does.

143
00:11:24,168 --> 00:11:26,960
I'm home listening
to my police scanner...

144
00:11:27,210 --> 00:11:29,004
- You have a scanner?
- I do.

145
00:11:29,212 --> 00:11:32,922
You were president of your
school audio-visual club.

146
00:11:33,131 --> 00:11:37,759
Bobby Pfeifer was president.
I don't like to talk about it.

147
00:11:37,967 --> 00:11:40,302
- Why'd you come?
- For a drink.

148
00:11:40,510 --> 00:11:44,472
- You should've gotten here earlier.
- I was listening.

149
00:11:44,721 --> 00:11:50,099
David Arbor was arrested at a party.
He'll be charged with possession.

150
00:11:50,349 --> 00:11:55,186
- The son of Bob Arbor?
- Plus one other thing.

151
00:11:55,394 --> 00:12:00,481
- There's one other thing? What?
- Zoey was at the frat party.

152
00:12:00,773 --> 00:12:04,108
At least I know what I'll
be doing tomorrow.

153
00:12:04,317 --> 00:12:07,777
Remember I came at 1
to tell you this...

154
00:12:07,985 --> 00:12:11,696
...and also that you're
secretly in love with me.

155
00:12:11,905 --> 00:12:14,031
Make sure you remind my office.

156
00:12:14,239 --> 00:12:18,241
You could do "The Jackal"
for me right now.

157
00:12:19,534 --> 00:12:22,952
- Go home.
- Okay.

158
00:12:33,250 --> 00:12:37,629
- Say, "I'm not sure the president knows. "
- "I'm not sure he knows. "

159
00:12:38,045 --> 00:12:41,631
- It's a non-story. Say it.
- "I'm not sure he knows. "

160
00:12:41,881 --> 00:12:44,216
The father's a major fundraiser.

161
00:12:44,424 --> 00:12:48,468
I'm sure the president
will offer him his best support.

162
00:12:48,676 --> 00:12:51,178
There was a drug bust.

163
00:12:51,386 --> 00:12:54,472
- Zoey left before that.
- Any reaction?

164
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:56,973
- I'm not sure he knows.
- There.

165
00:12:57,182 --> 00:12:58,849
- C.J.
- It's a non-story.

166
00:12:59,058 --> 00:13:01,017
Let's keep it that way.

167
00:13:02,101 --> 00:13:04,436
- Hey.
- Did you get my message?

168
00:13:04,686 --> 00:13:07,313
You wanted to talk about banana bars?

169
00:13:07,939 --> 00:13:10,981
- Panda bears.
- Donna has stylish penmanship.

170
00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:15,902
- We should get a panda bear.
- I'll end up walking him.

171
00:13:16,109 --> 00:13:20,905
You've gotten 3000 letters
in 10 days wanting to know...

172
00:13:21,112 --> 00:13:23,281
...when we get the new bear.

173
00:13:23,490 --> 00:13:27,158
- What happened to the old bear?
- Lum-Lum? She died.

174
00:13:27,367 --> 00:13:29,076
- Did I kill her?
- No.

175
00:13:29,284 --> 00:13:32,912
- Why are you talking to me?
- 3000 letters.

176
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,705
- Did I write any? Then...
- Who should I talk to?

177
00:13:37,289 --> 00:13:41,209
About getting a new panda bear
to replace Lum-Lum?

178
00:13:42,251 --> 00:13:45,378
Toby. You should be talking to Toby.

179
00:13:46,670 --> 00:13:49,547
- This is most of it.
- Thanks.

180
00:13:49,755 --> 00:13:53,383
- Toby?
- Yeah, Toby can help you out.

181
00:13:53,591 --> 00:13:54,675
What's this?

182
00:13:54,883 --> 00:13:59,302
I have to tell a black lawyer
why I don't owe him any money.

183
00:13:59,511 --> 00:14:02,346
- Good luck.
- Thanks.

184
00:14:15,271 --> 00:14:18,231
- Out in front of the entrance.
- How many?

185
00:14:18,481 --> 00:14:21,984
- About a dozen.
- Have someone bring the car around.

186
00:14:22,191 --> 00:14:24,110
- What time is it?
- 12:30.

187
00:14:24,318 --> 00:14:27,319
I have to go.
Are we doing French at Kelly's?

188
00:14:27,528 --> 00:14:31,072
- Yeah.
- Zoey, we're going out back.

189
00:14:31,281 --> 00:14:33,282
- What's out front?
- Reporter.

190
00:14:33,490 --> 00:14:36,951
- They're not supposed to.
- Security's on its way.

191
00:14:37,201 --> 00:14:41,996
- What is up with Marjorie's hair?
- I didn't wanna say anything.

192
00:14:42,204 --> 00:14:45,455
Gina, we go to sleep
listening to French tapes.

193
00:14:45,664 --> 00:14:47,457
- I remember them.
- Ready?

194
00:14:54,086 --> 00:14:57,505
I'm Special Agent Gina Toscano.
Your name?

195
00:14:57,713 --> 00:15:00,048
Edgar Drumm. I have a question.

196
00:15:00,256 --> 00:15:03,717
She doesn't answer questions.
Take her to the car.

197
00:15:03,925 --> 00:15:09,012
So the president's daughter
is partying with drug dealers?

198
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:11,805
- David isn't a dealer.
- Why'd you go?

199
00:15:12,014 --> 00:15:15,640
I was invited.
I didn't know David was there.

200
00:15:15,890 --> 00:15:20,977
- I want you in the car now.
- You're a real jackass.

201
00:15:23,186 --> 00:15:24,813
Don't do that again.

202
00:15:25,022 --> 00:15:30,774
If this is how the Secret Service
behaves, it's a sad state of affairs.

203
00:15:30,983 --> 00:15:34,819
We'll have to learn to live
with your disappointment.

204
00:15:46,451 --> 00:15:48,869
This draft is done.

205
00:15:49,536 --> 00:15:52,788
"On schedule" is my middle name
from now on.

206
00:15:52,997 --> 00:15:56,041
- I'm having it changed.
- What was it before?

207
00:15:56,248 --> 00:15:59,584
Norman. Speaking of schedules, Cathy...

208
00:15:59,917 --> 00:16:03,712
At noon you're on the Hill,
3:00 the East Asia team...

209
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:08,089
...4:00 Medicare, 4:30 the president,
6:00 the advance team.

210
00:16:08,298 --> 00:16:12,091
The noon meeting,
let's see if we can cancel it.

211
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:13,885
- Why?
- I don't wanna go.

212
00:16:14,092 --> 00:16:17,344
- That's not enough.
- I really don't wanna go.

213
00:16:17,595 --> 00:16:21,473
You're going.
And you've got Mallory at 11.

214
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,766
- What?
- You've got Mallory right now.

215
00:16:24,974 --> 00:16:28,560
- What do you mean?
- Your appointment with Mallory.

216
00:16:28,769 --> 00:16:32,061
I decided to see you
during business hours.

217
00:16:32,270 --> 00:16:34,813
- You aren't in school?
- Not today.

218
00:16:35,022 --> 00:16:38,316
I didn't wanna take advantage
of us dating.

219
00:16:38,566 --> 00:16:42,193
- We're not. You made an appointment.
- All nice.

220
00:16:42,401 --> 00:16:46,529
Isn't that adorable? Come in.

221
00:16:53,366 --> 00:16:56,744
- Is he here? Send him in.
- Mr. Breckenridge?

222
00:16:56,952 --> 00:16:59,745
- Thank you.
- Jeff, Josh Lyman.

223
00:16:59,953 --> 00:17:02,206
- Jeff Breckenridge.
- Have a chair.

224
00:17:02,413 --> 00:17:05,624
- Can Donna get you anything?
- No, I'm fine.

225
00:17:05,832 --> 00:17:10,543
You were at Debevoise & Plimpton
when my father was a partner.

226
00:17:10,752 --> 00:17:15,171
Your father was a partner?
Your father's Noah Lyman?

227
00:17:15,379 --> 00:17:19,591
- Yeah.
- He's a wonderful man. How is he?

228
00:17:20,341 --> 00:17:23,801
- He died.
- I'm sorry. When?

229
00:17:24,552 --> 00:17:28,554
- The night of the Illinois primary.
- I'm sorry.

230
00:17:28,763 --> 00:17:32,474
Thanks. I got this handed to me.
I'm not as up to...

231
00:17:32,682 --> 00:17:36,601
A couple of Republicans
have a problem with me.

232
00:17:36,809 --> 00:17:40,686
- Stadler.
- Also probably Wachtel and Tillison.

233
00:17:40,895 --> 00:17:43,855
Any specific problem?
They don't like me?

234
00:17:44,105 --> 00:17:49,359
No, there's a book coming out
by Otis Hastings, <i>The Unpaid Debt. </i>

235
00:17:49,567 --> 00:17:54,570
His position is, African-Americans
are owed reparations for slavery.

236
00:17:54,779 --> 00:17:58,697
- Yes.
- You're quoted on the back jacket.

237
00:17:58,906 --> 00:18:03,408
You wrote, "Otis Hastings
is a unique historian.

238
00:18:03,617 --> 00:18:09,079
This book should be burned
into the minds of white America. "

239
00:18:09,371 --> 00:18:14,165
- Yes.
- You weren't misquoted, right?

240
00:18:14,374 --> 00:18:19,126
If asked, you'll say you're
in favor of reparations.

241
00:18:19,377 --> 00:18:25,381
I'll tell them my father's fathers
were kidnapped outside Wimbabwa...

242
00:18:25,589 --> 00:18:29,216
...and bought by a plantation owner...

243
00:18:29,424 --> 00:18:33,885
...in South Carolina,
where they worked for no wages.

244
00:18:34,094 --> 00:18:38,389
- And you're looking for back pay.
- Yes.

245
00:18:38,597 --> 00:18:41,431
Did you have a figure in mind?

246
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,394
Dr. Harold Washington, economist
at the Manchester Institute...

247
00:18:46,601 --> 00:18:51,980
...calculated the number of slaves,
multiplied it by the hours worked...

248
00:18:52,188 --> 00:18:57,650
...multiplied that by the market value
of labor and came up with a figure.

249
00:18:57,858 --> 00:19:01,611
- What is it?
- $1.7 trillion.

250
00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:07,948
This is probably a better discussion
to have in the abstract.

251
00:19:08,156 --> 00:19:11,200
- No.
- What do you mean?

252
00:19:11,409 --> 00:19:17,245
I mean someone owes me
and my friends $1.7 trillion.

253
00:19:25,375 --> 00:19:31,254
- Charlie's here.
- Yes, indeed. Charlie. Chaz.

254
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:35,297
- I hear you burned down the place.
- What's up?

255
00:19:35,506 --> 00:19:39,134
Zoey had a run-in
with a reporter named Drumm.

256
00:19:39,551 --> 00:19:43,970
- Writes for <i>The Charleston Citizen. </i>
- He's a Bartlet baiter.

257
00:19:44,178 --> 00:19:48,556
It's a newsletter for the radical
right. What did he ask her?

258
00:19:48,764 --> 00:19:51,307
Why she parties with drug dealers.

259
00:19:51,516 --> 00:19:55,268
- Did she talk to him?
- Gina put her in the car.

260
00:19:55,476 --> 00:19:58,770
David Arbor's a good friend.
He's not a dealer.

261
00:19:58,979 --> 00:20:03,231
- Can you nip that in the bud?
- I can talk to a few people.

262
00:20:03,481 --> 00:20:07,568
He only takes drugs.
Zoey is trying to help.

263
00:20:07,776 --> 00:20:11,403
Zoey was bringing his car keys
she confiscated.

264
00:20:11,611 --> 00:20:13,738
- Carol!
- Guy drives a Porsche.

265
00:20:13,946 --> 00:20:19,116
I'm coming. I drove my boyfriend's
Porsche. Backed it into a pond.

266
00:20:19,324 --> 00:20:22,076
- Lost your privileges?
- And boyfriend.

267
00:20:22,326 --> 00:20:24,369
- It's a good car, though.
- Yeah.

268
00:20:32,124 --> 00:20:34,417
- Hey, Toby.
- Hey there, Margaret.

269
00:20:34,625 --> 00:20:37,043
- Are you okay?
- Why wouldn't I be?

270
00:20:37,252 --> 00:20:39,753
You don't usually say, "Hey there. "

271
00:20:39,962 --> 00:20:43,881
- What do I say?
- You growl something inaudible.

272
00:20:44,089 --> 00:20:48,301
Not today. You should turn
that frown upside down.

273
00:20:48,508 --> 00:20:50,677
Let a smile be your umbrella.

274
00:20:50,886 --> 00:20:54,637
Now you're scaring
the crap out of me, Toby.

275
00:20:54,846 --> 00:20:59,182
Hey, Bobby. Hi, Janet.

276
00:21:00,141 --> 00:21:05,519
Tax dollars shouldn't go to shipping
students to private schools.

277
00:21:05,728 --> 00:21:10,355
How are you getting around separation
of church and state on that?

278
00:21:10,564 --> 00:21:13,940
We have people who
are experts on that.

279
00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:16,483
- I've noticed.
- Anything else?

280
00:21:16,692 --> 00:21:19,986
- Oh, yes.
- We've been here for an hour.

281
00:21:20,195 --> 00:21:23,739
Vouchers provide help
for only a few students.

282
00:21:23,947 --> 00:21:25,406
We offer a solution.

283
00:21:25,615 --> 00:21:30,701
You offer a lifeboat to the few
for whom vouchers make a difference.

284
00:21:30,910 --> 00:21:35,829
That makes sense. I just think
if you can save even one kid...

285
00:21:36,038 --> 00:21:38,623
- You can save more than one kid.
- How?

286
00:21:38,831 --> 00:21:44,584
By asking Congress to approve a lot
more money for public education.

287
00:21:44,792 --> 00:21:46,461
What?

288
00:21:46,669 --> 00:21:51,339
Public education has been
a public policy disaster for 40 years.

289
00:21:51,589 --> 00:21:55,591
Having spent $4 trillion
on public schools since 1965...

290
00:21:55,799 --> 00:22:01,511
...the result has been a steady
decline of student performance.

291
00:22:01,762 --> 00:22:07,806
But don't worry, the House is on
the case. I feel better already!

292
00:22:09,183 --> 00:22:12,268
- Wow.
- What?

293
00:22:12,476 --> 00:22:16,437
For a guy who's trying to date me,
that was pretty snotty.

294
00:22:16,979 --> 00:22:19,648
Hang on. These are office hours.

295
00:22:19,898 --> 00:22:23,983
I would've had
a whole different attitude.

296
00:22:24,192 --> 00:22:26,318
- Thank God.
- That Hill meeting?

297
00:22:26,526 --> 00:22:30,278
I'd love to keep talking,
but I have this meeting.

298
00:22:30,528 --> 00:22:32,821
- I canceled it.
- Why?

299
00:22:33,614 --> 00:22:35,949
You asked me to.

300
00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:40,285
Yes, I did.

301
00:22:43,370 --> 00:22:45,704
I'll get back to you.

302
00:22:46,538 --> 00:22:51,458
Danny? You hear anything about
Edgar Drumm talking to Zoey?

303
00:22:51,708 --> 00:22:54,752
You never tell me
you like my suspenders.

304
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,587
- Drumm.
- He asked her about drug dealers.

305
00:22:58,796 --> 00:23:00,255
That's what I heard.

306
00:23:00,464 --> 00:23:03,382
She said she didn't know
Arbor was there.

307
00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:05,425
- What?
- It's Edgar Drumm.

308
00:23:05,634 --> 00:23:08,219
- Danny.
- It's Edgar Drumm. No one...

309
00:23:08,468 --> 00:23:12,054
- Yeah.
- What?

310
00:23:13,930 --> 00:23:15,848
- Nothing.
- What?

311
00:23:16,056 --> 00:23:20,726
Nothing. Those really are
nice suspenders.

312
00:23:23,769 --> 00:23:27,689
- Special Field Order Number 15.
- What?

313
00:23:27,897 --> 00:23:33,817
Slavery reparations aren't
anything new. January 16, 1865.

314
00:23:34,025 --> 00:23:37,152
General Sherman issued
Field Order Number 15.

315
00:23:37,361 --> 00:23:41,280
A half million acres
from South Carolina to Florida...

316
00:23:41,488 --> 00:23:44,907
...were divided up
and given to freed slaves.

317
00:23:45,157 --> 00:23:49,451
He also granted them the use
of various Army supplies...

318
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:52,036
Mules. 40 acres and a mule.

319
00:23:52,245 --> 00:23:57,164
Yes, but the order was rescinded
four years later by Johnson.

320
00:23:57,706 --> 00:24:02,418
During the Newark riots, you could
hear the looters shouting:

321
00:24:02,626 --> 00:24:06,295
"That was my 40 acres.
I'll be back for the mule! "

322
00:24:06,546 --> 00:24:10,423
- Catchy.
- If you guys had paid up on time.

323
00:24:10,631 --> 00:24:15,300
A lesson well learned.
Let's talk about your confirmation.

324
00:24:15,509 --> 00:24:17,593
Absolutely.

325
00:24:17,802 --> 00:24:21,680
And while we're on the subject
of the Civil War...

326
00:24:21,888 --> 00:24:28,016
...let's remember the 600,000 whites
who died over the issue of slavery.

327
00:24:28,225 --> 00:24:32,352
- Is that why they died?
- It's why a lot of them died.

328
00:24:32,561 --> 00:24:35,396
There's no other place in history...

329
00:24:35,604 --> 00:24:38,940
...where an event like that
has occurred.

330
00:24:39,190 --> 00:24:43,276
So let's leave it at that
and move on, okay?

331
00:24:43,484 --> 00:24:45,485
- Except to say this:
- What?

332
00:24:47,862 --> 00:24:51,739
- Nothing.
- What?

333
00:24:51,948 --> 00:24:54,241
Let's move on.

334
00:24:58,660 --> 00:25:00,327
You got two seconds?

335
00:25:00,536 --> 00:25:04,122
For you I have
all the time in the world.

336
00:25:04,372 --> 00:25:06,290
- What?
- His day of jubilee.

337
00:25:06,498 --> 00:25:10,209
- He never sustains a good mood.
- You are dedicated.

338
00:25:10,417 --> 00:25:12,586
And you are other nice things.

339
00:25:12,836 --> 00:25:15,254
- Can I see you inside?
- You bet.

340
00:25:16,087 --> 00:25:19,339
I feel like I've lost 180 pounds.

341
00:25:19,548 --> 00:25:22,967
I'm smiling, I'm laughing.

342
00:25:23,174 --> 00:25:28,219
I am enjoying the people I work with.
I gotta snap out of this.

343
00:25:28,428 --> 00:25:30,971
What's on your mind?

344
00:25:31,179 --> 00:25:37,434
Help me get the Chinese to give us
a new panda bear to replace Lum-Lum.

345
00:25:40,227 --> 00:25:41,978
That did the trick.

346
00:25:45,314 --> 00:25:47,064
- Hey!
- Hey, what's up?

347
00:25:47,273 --> 00:25:48,732
C.J. wants to see me.

348
00:25:48,982 --> 00:25:52,484
I talked to her.
She said she'll talk to Danny.

349
00:25:52,693 --> 00:25:55,361
- You could've kissed me.
- In the dorm.

350
00:25:55,570 --> 00:25:57,487
- Chicken.
- When I kiss you...

351
00:25:57,738 --> 00:26:01,197
...I wanna be three miles away
from the Oval Office.

352
00:26:01,406 --> 00:26:04,366
Stacy says you're afraid
to show affection.

353
00:26:04,617 --> 00:26:07,785
Tell Stacy to meet me
at Union Station.

354
00:26:07,994 --> 00:26:13,289
Does C.J. have a problem? I wonder
what she wants to see me about.

355
00:26:13,497 --> 00:26:16,874
I'm not afraid
of being affectionate in public.

356
00:26:25,254 --> 00:26:29,673
- See?
- Hey, Zoey. I'll get her.

357
00:26:32,634 --> 00:26:35,010
- C.J.? Zoey.
- Thanks.

358
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:38,804
- Hi.
- Thanks for stopping by.

359
00:26:39,013 --> 00:26:41,972
- Carol, can you get the door?
- Sure.

360
00:26:42,181 --> 00:26:47,601
You heard I talked to a guy.
I know I'm supposed to just walk away.

361
00:26:47,809 --> 00:26:51,437
- He pushed your buttons.
- David isn't a drug dealer.

362
00:26:51,646 --> 00:26:56,482
Did you tell him you didn't know
David was gonna be at the party?

363
00:26:56,732 --> 00:27:00,150
I need to know why you lied to him.

364
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,403
- I didn't.
- And why you're lying to me right now.

365
00:27:04,612 --> 00:27:08,614
If you didn't know,
why'd you have his car keys?

366
00:27:13,325 --> 00:27:18,036
Mr. Clieg is being detained
by field agents in Albuquerque.

367
00:27:18,244 --> 00:27:22,331
Mr. Hogabom threatened
to blow up the Smithsonian...

368
00:27:22,538 --> 00:27:25,791
...unless Zoey Bartlet
agreed to meet him.

369
00:27:25,999 --> 00:27:32,212
Mr. Hogabom is in custody.
The Smithsonian remains open. Kelly?

370
00:27:32,420 --> 00:27:36,297
The newest sorority stunt
is to get a picture with Zoey.

371
00:27:36,547 --> 00:27:39,591
Here's hoping our threat
is Kappa Kappa Gamma.

372
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,843
We're adding some hate groups
to the list.

373
00:27:43,051 --> 00:27:47,970
The Aryan White Resistance,
the Christian Defense League...

374
00:27:48,221 --> 00:27:51,389
...and Central New York White Pride.

375
00:27:51,598 --> 00:27:57,977
Sir, the most recent letters have been
signed off with the slogan " 14 Words. "

376
00:27:58,227 --> 00:28:00,187
What does that stands for?

377
00:28:00,395 --> 00:28:04,022
"We must secure the existence of white
people and a future for white kids. "

378
00:28:04,231 --> 00:28:05,607
Right. What else?

379
00:28:05,856 --> 00:28:10,151
Two death threats were received
against Zoey and Charlie.

380
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:16,738
They were made with letters cut
from <i>Resistance Magazine. </i>

381
00:28:16,947 --> 00:28:20,116
The magazine recruits younger people.

382
00:28:20,324 --> 00:28:23,867
Right, and the letters
have used the phrase:

383
00:28:24,076 --> 00:28:26,536
"Following the voice of blood. "

384
00:28:26,744 --> 00:28:32,081
It's the title of a Graveland record,
a band popular among skinheads.

385
00:28:32,331 --> 00:28:36,458
I'm convinced we're looking
for two 15-year-old boys.

386
00:28:36,667 --> 00:28:38,876
Everybody, hit the pictures.

387
00:28:39,085 --> 00:28:44,421
See who looks familiar from
the rope lines. It could be anyone.

388
00:28:44,630 --> 00:28:48,174
Gina, C.J. Cregg's outside.
She wanted to step in.

389
00:28:48,383 --> 00:28:49,883
- Sure.
- Hi.

390
00:28:50,092 --> 00:28:52,677
They told me you were
having a briefing.

391
00:28:52,927 --> 00:28:55,095
- I just need a minute.
- Coffee?

392
00:28:55,303 --> 00:28:58,973
I'm fine. I need to talk
to you about last night.

393
00:28:59,180 --> 00:29:03,100
- Okay.
- Could you describe what, if any...

394
00:29:03,308 --> 00:29:08,270
...contact Zoey might've
had with David Arbor last night?

395
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,522
- No, I'm sorry.
- I don't understand.

396
00:29:11,730 --> 00:29:15,649
I can't discuss the behavior
of my protectee.

397
00:29:15,858 --> 00:29:20,777
Zoey's not in trouble. I'm trying
to straighten out a discrepancy.

398
00:29:21,319 --> 00:29:22,778
I understand.

399
00:29:23,737 --> 00:29:26,656
There's a story
that Zoey's involved with.

400
00:29:26,865 --> 00:29:29,616
I need you to tell me what you know.

401
00:29:29,824 --> 00:29:35,119
I can't protect her if she feels
she's gotta do things behind my back.

402
00:29:35,369 --> 00:29:39,455
- I can't discuss her behavior.
- Okay. Thanks.

403
00:29:40,372 --> 00:29:46,293
The thing with the reporter this
morning was fast, it was physical.

404
00:29:46,501 --> 00:29:50,378
She's 19, and she thought
her father was in trouble.

405
00:29:50,628 --> 00:29:53,755
Okay, thanks. I appreciate it.
Sorry about...

406
00:29:53,964 --> 00:29:56,507
- No problem.
- I'll see you later.

407
00:29:57,300 --> 00:30:02,094
You sure about coffee? I'm looking
through a photo album of Nazis.

408
00:30:02,802 --> 00:30:05,762
- Why?
- I'm on a break.

409
00:30:07,431 --> 00:30:08,806
See you later.

410
00:30:09,807 --> 00:30:15,977
It occurs to me that you attended
a private high school and college.

411
00:30:16,269 --> 00:30:17,312
Your point?

412
00:30:17,562 --> 00:30:22,690
Liberals have no problem with
rich kids going to private schools.

413
00:30:22,898 --> 00:30:27,651
No problem with middle-class kids
going to parochial schools.

414
00:30:27,860 --> 00:30:31,903
But letting poor public school
students choose alternatives...

415
00:30:32,237 --> 00:30:35,114
...would destroy
public education?

416
00:30:35,323 --> 00:30:39,283
Boston Latin is still
the best secondary school here.

417
00:30:39,491 --> 00:30:42,160
But they're not all Boston Latin.

418
00:30:42,368 --> 00:30:47,038
Since when are liberals the other guys
in your conversations?

419
00:30:47,663 --> 00:30:53,500
- Excuse me. Hi, Mal. You got a second?
- Absolutely. Excuse me.

420
00:30:55,918 --> 00:30:58,711
Edgar Drumm ambushed Zoey after lunch.

421
00:30:58,919 --> 00:31:02,922
She said she didn't know Arbor
was there. She did.

422
00:31:03,173 --> 00:31:06,716
- Why lie?
- Spend enough days around reporters.

423
00:31:06,924 --> 00:31:11,136
We make sure the president
doesn't get involved.

424
00:31:11,344 --> 00:31:14,137
- When he hears...
- You have to sit on him.

425
00:31:14,345 --> 00:31:19,766
- I'm not gonna be able to.
- You can't back down. Get in his face.

426
00:31:20,016 --> 00:31:25,102
Get in the president's face?
That's your advice? Okay.

427
00:31:25,311 --> 00:31:28,688
Does anyone else
have any advice that could...?

428
00:31:28,897 --> 00:31:33,107
It's your job.
It's what he needs you to do.

429
00:31:35,025 --> 00:31:38,069
- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.

430
00:31:38,277 --> 00:31:44,781
I'd like to see Mallory socially,
but I can't get her past this fight.

431
00:31:47,074 --> 00:31:49,825
Tell her you wanna
continue over lunch.

432
00:31:50,034 --> 00:31:51,827
That's very good advice.

433
00:31:52,035 --> 00:31:55,120
Certainly better than
"get in his face. "

434
00:31:55,329 --> 00:31:58,122
- I'm going back.
- I'll check the want ads.

435
00:31:58,372 --> 00:31:59,998
Good luck!

436
00:32:02,166 --> 00:32:05,668
- A panda bear to replace dim sum.
- Lum-Lum.

437
00:32:05,877 --> 00:32:09,463
- Do you mean Hsing-Hsing?
- That was his name.

438
00:32:09,671 --> 00:32:14,132
He was given to us as a gift from
the Chinese when Nixon...

439
00:32:14,341 --> 00:32:17,343
- I know.
- Then Hsing-Hsing got lonely.

440
00:32:17,550 --> 00:32:21,220
The Chinese sent a mate.
I think its name was Ping.

441
00:32:21,428 --> 00:32:23,054
- Ling.
- Ling.

442
00:32:23,262 --> 00:32:25,055
- Maybe Ping.
- Whatever.

443
00:32:25,263 --> 00:32:28,682
Ping or Ling dies,
Hsing-Hsing mourns...

444
00:32:28,891 --> 00:32:32,893
...and for Hsing-Hsing
it seemed unendurable.

445
00:32:33,101 --> 00:32:35,062
I know exactly how he felt.

446
00:32:35,269 --> 00:32:41,023
Hsing-Hsing succumbed to liver disease
and passed away earlier this year.

447
00:32:41,232 --> 00:32:45,235
As a symbol to signal
how serious we are...

448
00:32:45,484 --> 00:32:51,112
...about our relationship with China,
we might ask them for another bear.

449
00:32:51,321 --> 00:32:55,032
I think as a symbol
of China's seriousness...

450
00:32:55,282 --> 00:33:00,077
...they could stop running over
their citizens with tanks.

451
00:33:00,285 --> 00:33:03,286
Have them send a bear!
What's the problem?

452
00:33:03,495 --> 00:33:09,624
Pandas are very rare. There are maybe
a thousand, and only in China.

453
00:33:09,874 --> 00:33:11,750
- We only need one.
- Two!

454
00:33:12,042 --> 00:33:15,127
- It'll get lonely.
- Have them send two.

455
00:33:15,336 --> 00:33:18,004
China's not inclined to give us gifts.

456
00:33:18,213 --> 00:33:22,298
Get us two regular bears,
black paint, white paint.

457
00:33:22,507 --> 00:33:26,092
The wildlife lobby
was nervous about you?

458
00:33:26,342 --> 00:33:30,053
I know, I'm Mr. Wildlife. Mandy!

459
00:33:37,975 --> 00:33:43,144
- What made you think I'm interested?
- Josh said you were my man.

460
00:33:43,353 --> 00:33:47,146
- Josh said I was your man?
- Yes.

461
00:33:52,024 --> 00:33:55,986
- I'm impressed how much you've grown.
- What do you mean?

462
00:33:56,194 --> 00:34:01,572
There was a time if you got played
by Josh, you'd wanna get back at him.

463
00:34:01,780 --> 00:34:05,616
- "Played"?
- He used you to have fun with me.

464
00:34:05,825 --> 00:34:09,451
- He's gotta deal with Breckenridge.
- He played me?

465
00:34:09,660 --> 00:34:15,455
But it's good to see you
get past that. Played like a $2 banjo.

466
00:34:19,958 --> 00:34:23,460
- Help me.
- Do what?

467
00:34:24,961 --> 00:34:28,380
Cause Josh pain.

468
00:34:31,048 --> 00:34:32,091
Okay.

469
00:34:32,299 --> 00:34:35,718
- Hey, Dad.
- Yeah. Hold on, please.

470
00:34:35,926 --> 00:34:39,345
Sam asked me to lunch.
I need your permission.

471
00:34:39,554 --> 00:34:43,055
- What do you need my permission for?
- Sam?

472
00:34:43,305 --> 00:34:48,017
She always asks permission
before she has lunch with fascists.

473
00:34:48,225 --> 00:34:51,561
- He's in favor of school vouchers.
- He's not.

474
00:34:51,769 --> 00:34:53,311
- Yes, he is.
- No.

475
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,272
- I read the paper.
- It's opposition prep.

476
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:57,605
Opposition prep?

477
00:34:57,814 --> 00:35:01,692
Before a debate, the smart guys
take the other side.

478
00:35:01,942 --> 00:35:04,610
You argued with me. Why?

479
00:35:04,819 --> 00:35:07,820
- You made an appointment.
- Take it outside.

480
00:35:08,029 --> 00:35:12,282
- You drove a wedge between us.
- Now you're boring me.

481
00:35:12,532 --> 00:35:16,784
Education is the silver bullet.
Education is everything.

482
00:35:16,993 --> 00:35:22,955
We need gigantic, monumental changes.
Schools should be palaces.

483
00:35:23,163 --> 00:35:26,874
The competition for the best teachers
should be fierce.

484
00:35:27,082 --> 00:35:30,543
Schools should be free
to its citizens...

485
00:35:30,751 --> 00:35:34,920
...like national defense.
That's my position.

486
00:35:36,171 --> 00:35:39,548
I just haven't figured out
how to do it yet.

487
00:35:41,174 --> 00:35:43,759
You stood there
and argued with me.

488
00:35:45,510 --> 00:35:48,970
We can continue.
We're gonna have lunch?

489
00:35:50,054 --> 00:35:53,681
- You're taking over?
- I'm taking over.

490
00:35:55,808 --> 00:36:01,603
- You may go have lunch with a fascist.
- Come along, Sam.

491
00:36:02,812 --> 00:36:07,231
- You're doing fine.
- Okay.

492
00:36:13,778 --> 00:36:17,696
Mr. President. Your lunch
with Mr. Girardi got canceled.

493
00:36:17,946 --> 00:36:22,282
It's the first time anyone's
canceled since I took office.

494
00:36:22,491 --> 00:36:26,202
Mr. Girardi was taken
to the hospital with pneumonia.

495
00:36:26,410 --> 00:36:30,412
- He did have a good excuse.
- What are you reading?

496
00:36:30,662 --> 00:36:34,998
<i>Rules of Civility and Decent</i>
<i>Behaviour</i> by George Washington.

497
00:36:35,207 --> 00:36:36,291
The Washington?

498
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:40,752
The rules were drawn
from an English translation.

499
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,504
Washington copied them down
when he was 14.

500
00:36:44,712 --> 00:36:50,925
"Sitting down, keep your feet firm and
even without putting one on the other.

501
00:36:51,133 --> 00:36:56,637
Put not off your clothes
in the presence of others. "

502
00:36:56,845 --> 00:37:00,805
What a tight-ass little priss
he must've been.

503
00:37:01,932 --> 00:37:03,057
Yes, sir.

504
00:37:04,099 --> 00:37:07,185
Do you think I could
take Washington?

505
00:37:07,392 --> 00:37:10,686
- Take him at what, sir?
- I don't know. A war.

506
00:37:10,895 --> 00:37:14,272
Could you have taken
Washington in a war?

507
00:37:14,481 --> 00:37:18,358
You'd have the Air Force,
and he'd have the minutemen?

508
00:37:18,566 --> 00:37:22,902
- Minutemen were good.
- I think you'd probably take him.

509
00:37:23,194 --> 00:37:26,321
- C.J.'s here.
- You can send her in.

510
00:37:27,571 --> 00:37:29,156
- C.J.!
- Mr. President.

511
00:37:29,406 --> 00:37:35,243
"Put not your hands to any part
of the body not usually covered. "

512
00:37:35,451 --> 00:37:38,995
I do what it takes to keep
the press corps happy.

513
00:37:39,204 --> 00:37:42,706
Yeah, you're right. What's going on?

514
00:37:43,206 --> 00:37:45,624
Don't blow your stack, all right?

515
00:37:45,832 --> 00:37:49,252
- What is going on?
- Zoey lied to a reporter.

516
00:37:49,460 --> 00:37:50,502
What?

517
00:37:50,710 --> 00:37:54,255
She was asked,
"Should you party with dealers?"

518
00:37:54,463 --> 00:37:58,966
She said she didn't know
David Arbor was there. She did.

519
00:37:59,216 --> 00:38:00,384
Why did she lie?

520
00:38:00,591 --> 00:38:02,635
- She didn't have to.
- Then why?

521
00:38:02,843 --> 00:38:05,428
- Sometimes girls lie.
- She never has to.

522
00:38:05,678 --> 00:38:08,221
- She knows.
- Apparently she doesn't.

523
00:38:08,471 --> 00:38:13,141
Give her a break.
This thing's happened to her friend.

524
00:38:13,349 --> 00:38:16,142
Edgar Drumm's shouting at her.
She choked.

525
00:38:16,351 --> 00:38:19,061
A reporter talked to her on campus?

526
00:38:19,269 --> 00:38:24,398
Put the press in the briefing room.
Tell them I'm coming over.

527
00:38:24,648 --> 00:38:27,984
- No, sir.
- We have been over this!

528
00:38:28,192 --> 00:38:30,360
They are not to talk to her.

529
00:38:30,568 --> 00:38:33,529
- It was Edgar Drumm.
- I don't give a damn.

530
00:38:33,778 --> 00:38:36,446
- I'll talk to the press.
- You can't.

531
00:38:36,655 --> 00:38:41,533
This is about the first daughter.
You're not going down there.

532
00:38:41,741 --> 00:38:45,786
Only you, me, Charlie and Zoey
know she was lying.

533
00:38:45,995 --> 00:38:48,995
It stays that way.
It's a non-story!

534
00:38:49,204 --> 00:38:52,540
You go down there,
and it's a big story!

535
00:39:02,546 --> 00:39:05,047
I just sit in my office and fume?

536
00:39:05,297 --> 00:39:09,842
Yes. If anybody asks, you haven't
heard anything about it.

537
00:39:10,050 --> 00:39:12,844
- Fine.
- Mr. President.

538
00:39:13,052 --> 00:39:16,555
Did you know he jumped out at Zoey?

539
00:39:16,763 --> 00:39:19,472
Excellent.
I haven't heard anything.

540
00:39:19,889 --> 00:39:21,307
Very good.

541
00:39:21,516 --> 00:39:25,810
- I could take George Washington.
- Yes, sir.

542
00:39:26,018 --> 00:39:28,562
- Anything else?
- No, sir.

543
00:39:28,770 --> 00:39:32,981
- Thank you, C.J.
- Thank you, Mr. President.

544
00:39:37,275 --> 00:39:40,819
We gave 1.2 billion
to Japanese-Americans...

545
00:39:41,069 --> 00:39:42,862
...who were in camps.

546
00:39:43,112 --> 00:39:46,322
Bring me a living slave,
you got a case.

547
00:39:46,531 --> 00:39:51,534
I've got a case without that.
But I'm just a civil rights expert.

548
00:39:51,742 --> 00:39:58,121
The committee is gonna be looking
for a certain degree of practicality.

549
00:39:58,329 --> 00:40:03,708
In order to raise $1.7 trillion
we'd have to sell Texas and the Navy.

550
00:40:03,916 --> 00:40:06,793
I'm willing to give you a break.

551
00:40:07,002 --> 00:40:09,837
We'll take our money
in tax deductions.

552
00:40:10,045 --> 00:40:14,965
How about taking it in affirmative
action and the Civil Rights Act?

553
00:40:15,174 --> 00:40:18,008
Three things we wouldn't have needed...

554
00:40:18,216 --> 00:40:21,802
I'd love to give you money,
but I'm short on cash.

555
00:40:22,011 --> 00:40:27,181
The Birkenau SS officer forgot to give
my grandfather his wallet back.

556
00:40:27,389 --> 00:40:31,349
- Your beef's with the Germans.
- You're damn right.

557
00:40:39,730 --> 00:40:42,815
What the hell are we talking about?

558
00:40:46,108 --> 00:40:49,694
We have laws in this country.

559
00:40:49,903 --> 00:40:53,030
You break them, you pay your fine.

560
00:40:53,696 --> 00:40:57,782
You break God's laws,
that's a different story.

561
00:40:57,991 --> 00:41:03,536
You can't sell a civilization into
slavery. No money makes up for it.

562
00:41:03,744 --> 00:41:08,788
All you have to do is look 200 years
later at race relations.

563
00:41:08,997 --> 00:41:13,083
- Yes.
- No amount will make up for it.

564
00:41:16,294 --> 00:41:18,086
You got a dollar?

565
00:41:20,338 --> 00:41:25,257
- Yeah.
- Take it out. Look at the back.

566
00:41:28,801 --> 00:41:33,554
The seal, the pyramid,
it's unfinished.

567
00:41:33,763 --> 00:41:37,306
With the eye of God looking
over it and the words:

568
00:41:37,514 --> 00:41:41,726
"He, God, favors our undertaking. "

569
00:41:41,934 --> 00:41:46,145
The seal is meant to be unfinished
because this country is.

570
00:41:46,354 --> 00:41:51,273
We're meant to keep doing better,
to keep debating.

571
00:41:51,482 --> 00:41:54,983
We're meant to read books
by great scholars...

572
00:41:55,192 --> 00:42:00,362
...and talk about them, which is
why I lent my name to a dust cover.

573
00:42:01,071 --> 00:42:05,573
I wanna be your assistant attorney
general for civil rights.

574
00:42:05,782 --> 00:42:12,285
I'll do an outstanding job. You got
any problem with me saying that?

575
00:42:12,535 --> 00:42:15,621
- No.
- Good.

576
00:42:15,829 --> 00:42:20,123
- You hungry? Let me buy you lunch.
- Yeah, okay.

577
00:42:23,376 --> 00:42:28,504
Jeff, there'll be a lot of meetings
before your confirmation.

578
00:42:28,754 --> 00:42:33,924
- Why don't you let me get lunch?
- Yeah, okay.
