1
00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:05,939
PREVIOUSLY ON THE WEST WING.

2
00:00:05,973 --> 00:00:07,341
C.J....

3
00:00:07,375 --> 00:00:08,742
THEY'RE PISSED AT ME,
THAT'S HOW PISSED
THEY ARE AT YOU.

4
00:00:08,776 --> 00:00:10,978
THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW THE HELL
I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE MEMO.

5
00:00:11,011 --> 00:00:13,147
THESE AMATEUR MISTAKES
MAKE ME CRAZY.

6
00:00:13,181 --> 00:00:14,815
I JUST CALLED AMATEUR
TWICE IN TEN SECONDS.

7
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:15,983
THE WHITE HOUSE
CHIEF OF STAFF

8
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:17,118
CAN DO IT TO ME
WHEREVER HE WANTS.

9
00:00:17,151 --> 00:00:18,686
YOU DON'T DO IT
IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.

10
00:00:18,719 --> 00:00:20,154
JOSH, GET LEO TWO CANDIDATES

11
00:00:20,188 --> 00:00:22,290
WHO BACK AGGRESSIVE
CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM.

12
00:00:22,323 --> 00:00:24,558
TO FIGHT TO RESTORE
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

13
00:00:24,592 --> 00:00:27,661
BEGINS RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
IN THIS ROOM.

14
00:00:27,695 --> 00:00:30,131
ANYTIME YOU'RE INTO SOMETHING,
YOU DON'T KEEP IT FROM ME.

15
00:00:30,164 --> 00:00:31,665
I'M FRIENDLY WITH A WOMAN.

16
00:00:31,699 --> 00:00:33,834
YOU CAN'T SPEND TIME
WITH A CALL GIRL, SAM.

17
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:36,604
YOU'RE GOING TO GET CAUGHT.

18
00:00:36,637 --> 00:00:39,240
Donna:
THEY GOT TO START THE POLL,
JOSH-- IT'S 7:05.

19
00:00:39,273 --> 00:00:40,741
Josh:
IT'S TEN TO 7:00.

20
00:00:40,774 --> 00:00:41,875
NO, IT'S REALLY NOT.

21
00:00:41,909 --> 00:00:42,776
Josh:
IT'S 7:05?

22
00:00:42,810 --> 00:00:43,544
YEAH.

23
00:00:43,577 --> 00:00:44,112
THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

24
00:00:44,145 --> 00:00:45,146
I'M NOT MAKING IT UP.

25
00:00:45,179 --> 00:00:46,214
MY WATCH SAYS
TEN TO 7:00.

26
00:00:46,247 --> 00:00:47,648
THAT'S 'CAUSE
YOUR WATCH SUCKS.

27
00:00:47,681 --> 00:00:48,882
MY WATCH IS FINE.

28
00:00:48,916 --> 00:00:49,950
YOUR WATCH SAYS
TEN TO 7:00.

29
00:00:49,983 --> 00:00:51,619
HOW DO I KNOW IT
ISN'T TEN TO 7:00?

30
00:00:51,652 --> 00:00:54,188
BECAUSE THOSE LARGE CLOCKS
IN THE HALL RUN BY THE NAVY

31
00:00:54,222 --> 00:00:56,790
SAY YOUR WATCH SUCKS
IN FOUR DIFFERENT TIME ZONES.

32
00:00:56,824 --> 00:00:57,991
QUESTION SIX IS ASYMMETRICAL.

33
00:00:58,025 --> 00:00:59,160
QUESTION SIX IS FINE.

34
00:00:59,193 --> 00:01:00,861
WOULD YOU SAY, "THINGS IN
THIS COUNTRY ARE GOING

35
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:03,997
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION,
OR DO YOU THINK THEY'VE GOTTEN
OFF ON THE WRONG TRACK?"

36
00:01:04,031 --> 00:01:04,798
HE'S GOT A GOOD POINT.

37
00:01:04,832 --> 00:01:05,999
NO, HE DOESN'T.

38
00:01:06,033 --> 00:01:07,335
DO YOU KNOW
IT'S FIVE AFTER 7:00?

39
00:01:07,368 --> 00:01:08,436
IT SHOULD BE RIGHT DIRECTION
OR WRONG DIRECTION.

40
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:10,104
"DIRECTION" AND "TRACK"
ARE DIFFERENT WORDS.

41
00:01:10,138 --> 00:01:11,239
THANK YOU, FUNK
& WAGNALLS.

42
00:01:11,272 --> 00:01:12,273
WHAT DID SHE CALL ME?

43
00:01:12,306 --> 00:01:13,374
THEY MAKE THE DICTIONARY.

44
00:01:13,407 --> 00:01:14,842
I KNOW WHO FUNK
& WAGNALLS ARE.

45
00:01:14,875 --> 00:01:15,909
THEN WHY DID
YOU ASK HER?

46
00:01:15,943 --> 00:01:17,010
GUYS, IT'S FIVE
AFTER 7:00.

47
00:01:17,044 --> 00:01:18,379
THE QUESTION IS ASYMMETRICAL.

48
00:01:18,412 --> 00:01:20,681
THAT MAY BE SO, BUT THE QUESTION
ORIGINATED TWO DECADES AGO

49
00:01:20,714 --> 00:01:22,550
AND HAS PROVEN TO BE
A CONSISTENT PREDICTOR

50
00:01:22,583 --> 00:01:25,886
OF THE VOTERS'
POTENTIAL BEHAVIOR,
SO IT STAYS THE WAY IT IS.

51
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:26,920
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH 14.

52
00:01:26,954 --> 00:01:27,921
WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

53
00:01:27,955 --> 00:01:29,056
"WHEN MAKING
POLICY DECISIONS

54
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:30,458
"DO YOU THINK
THAT PRESIDENT BARTLET

55
00:01:30,491 --> 00:01:32,059
PUTS THE NEEDS
OF AVERAGE PEOPLE FIRST?"

56
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:33,727
"AVERAGE PEOPLE"
IS A PEJORATIVE PHRASE.

57
00:01:33,761 --> 00:01:35,929
IT OCCURS ABOUT SIX TIMES
IN THE POLLING MODEL.

58
00:01:35,963 --> 00:01:37,131
THIS MAY COME
AS A SHOCK TO YOU

59
00:01:37,165 --> 00:01:38,866
BUT 80% OF THE PEOPLE
IN THIS COUNTRY

60
00:01:38,899 --> 00:01:40,134
WOULD USE THE
WORD "AVERAGE"

61
00:01:40,168 --> 00:01:41,235
TO DESCRIBE THEMSELVES.

62
00:01:41,269 --> 00:01:43,003
THEY DO NOT FIND
THE TERM DEPRECATING.

63
00:01:43,036 --> 00:01:44,572
BEING CONSIDERED
AN "AVERAGE AMERICAN"

64
00:01:44,605 --> 00:01:46,774
IS SOMETHING THEY
FIND TO BE POSITIVE
AND COMFORTING.

65
00:01:46,807 --> 00:01:47,775
Leo:
C.J.?

66
00:01:47,808 --> 00:01:50,043
YES.

67
00:01:50,077 --> 00:01:53,581
"JED BARTLET CARES
ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE ME."

68
00:01:53,614 --> 00:01:54,348
LEO, WE WENT OVER THIS.

69
00:01:54,382 --> 00:01:55,816
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT
QUESTION SIX.

70
00:01:55,849 --> 00:01:56,984
WE REALLY DON'T.

71
00:01:57,017 --> 00:01:58,252
SINCE WHEN ARE YOU
AN EXPERT ON LANGUAGE?

72
00:01:58,286 --> 00:01:59,153
IN POLLING MODELS?

73
00:01:59,187 --> 00:02:00,588
OKAY.
1993.

74
00:02:00,621 --> 00:02:02,356
SINCE WHEN ARE YOU
A PAIN IN THE ASS?

75
00:02:02,390 --> 00:02:03,491
SINCE LONG BEFORE THAT.

76
00:02:03,524 --> 00:02:04,692
"JED BARTLET CARES

77
00:02:04,725 --> 00:02:06,727
ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE ME.
AGREE OR DISAGREE?"

78
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,761
AGAIN, WE WENT
OVER THAT.

79
00:02:07,795 --> 00:02:08,696
CAN'T "PEOPLE LIKE ME"

80
00:02:08,729 --> 00:02:11,299
BE TAKEN TO MEAN
PEOPLE LIKE THE INTERVIEWER?

81
00:02:11,332 --> 00:02:12,833
WHEN WE ASK THAT QUESTION,
WE SAY

82
00:02:12,866 --> 00:02:13,901
"PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF."

83
00:02:13,934 --> 00:02:14,935
OR "PEOPLE LIKE YOU."

84
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:15,836
I'VE SEEN IT BOTH WAYS.

85
00:02:15,869 --> 00:02:17,305
"YOURSELF" IS
A LITTLE SOFTER.

86
00:02:17,338 --> 00:02:18,539
Ed:
AND SOFTER IS BAD?

87
00:02:18,572 --> 00:02:20,040
SOFTER IS BETTER.
THE POINT IS...

88
00:02:20,073 --> 00:02:22,142
THE RESPONDENT ISN'T CONFUSED
AND SEPARATING

89
00:02:22,176 --> 00:02:23,211
THE RESPONDENT
FROM THE

90
00:02:23,244 --> 00:02:24,645
INTERVIEWER WITH
"PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF"

91
00:02:24,678 --> 00:02:25,746
IS PEJORATIVE

92
00:02:25,779 --> 00:02:27,915
SO, ED, LARRY, YOU CAN
TAKE THIS UP WITH JOSH.

93
00:02:27,948 --> 00:02:31,118
LEO, EASTERN STANDARD TIME
IS SITTING DOWN TO DINNER.

94
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:32,119
THE POLL IS FINE.

95
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:33,487
IT'S AN IMPORTANT POLL, C.J.

96
00:02:33,521 --> 00:02:34,855
I'M AWARE OF ITS IMPORTANCE.

97
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:35,856
AND IF WE DON'T START

98
00:02:35,889 --> 00:02:37,458
THE PHONE BANKS,
I MIGHT NOT HAVE

99
00:02:37,491 --> 00:02:39,460
TIME TO LEAK THE INTERNALS
TO MEDIA OUTLETS

100
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:40,828
BEFORE WE HIT
THE WEEKENDS

101
00:02:40,861 --> 00:02:41,829
SO, IT TURNS OUT

102
00:02:41,862 --> 00:02:43,096
THAT OVER THE LAST THREE WEEKS

103
00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:44,698
WE'VE MANAGED
TO CLIMB OUT OF THE HOLE

104
00:02:44,732 --> 00:02:46,667
ONLY WE CAN'T TELL ANYBODY
ABOUT IT TILL MONDAY

105
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:50,504
BECAUSE WE STOOD HERE ALL NIGHT
ARGUING ABOUT ASYMMETRY.

106
00:02:50,538 --> 00:02:51,705
( sighs )

107
00:02:51,739 --> 00:02:53,341
IT'S TIME.

108
00:02:53,374 --> 00:02:55,476
ANYBODY WANT
TO MAKE A PREDICTION?

109
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:57,245
WE'LL HOLD AT 42%
JOB APPROVAL.

110
00:02:57,278 --> 00:02:58,446
WE'LL HOLD STEADY.

111
00:02:58,479 --> 00:02:59,980
I'LL BE HAPPY
IF WE HOLD STEADY.

112
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:01,582
WE'LL DROP A FEW POINTS

113
00:03:01,615 --> 00:03:04,385
BUT IT WILL BE INSIDE
THE PLUS OR MINUS.

114
00:03:04,418 --> 00:03:06,086
C.J.?

115
00:03:06,119 --> 00:03:08,556
WE'RE GOING TO GO UP
FIVE POINTS.

116
00:03:10,824 --> 00:03:13,261
PRESIDENT THINKS
WE'RE GOING TO HOLD STEADY.

117
00:03:13,294 --> 00:03:13,994
THE PRESIDENT IS WRONG.

118
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:14,795
YOU THINK?

119
00:03:14,828 --> 00:03:16,597
YES.

120
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:18,266
LET'S FIND OUT.

121
00:03:18,299 --> 00:03:21,435
TOBY, TELL SAM
TO START THE BANKS.

122
00:03:25,673 --> 00:03:28,041
( phone rings )

123
00:03:28,075 --> 00:03:29,910
SAM SEABORN.

124
00:03:29,943 --> 00:03:32,212
OKAY.

125
00:03:32,246 --> 00:03:33,714
LET'S GET OUR
REPORT CARD.

126
00:03:35,349 --> 00:03:37,985
OKAY, HERE WE GO...

127
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:38,011
HEY, SAM.
HEY, GINGER.

128
00:04:38,045 --> 00:04:39,380
HOW'S IT GOING
IN THERE?

129
00:04:39,413 --> 00:04:41,415
I POPPED MANDY WITH
MY TRANQUILIZER GUN.

130
00:04:41,449 --> 00:04:42,516
SHE'S DOING FINE.

131
00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:45,118
BONNIE WANTED TO KNOW
WHY IT TAKES 48 HOURS.

132
00:04:45,152 --> 00:04:46,420
WE NEED 1,500 RESPONSES.

133
00:04:46,454 --> 00:04:47,988
IT TAKES 30 PEOPLE
48 HOURS

134
00:04:48,021 --> 00:04:48,956
TO MAKE 1,500 CALLS?

135
00:04:48,989 --> 00:04:51,792
IT TAKES THEM ABOUT 12 HOURS
TO MAKE 1,500 CALLS.

136
00:04:51,825 --> 00:04:52,826
WE NEED 1,500 RESPONSES

137
00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:54,995
WHICH MEANS WE NEED
TO MAKE 6,000 CALLS.

138
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:56,129
SAM?
YEAH?

139
00:04:56,163 --> 00:04:57,831
ONLY ONE IN FOUR PEOPLE
DON'T HANG UP?

140
00:04:57,865 --> 00:04:59,633
THAT'S IF YOU'RE LUCKY.

141
00:05:04,271 --> 00:05:06,940
THE G.W. LAW SCHOOL
GRADUATION IS TOMORROW.

142
00:05:06,974 --> 00:05:08,709
YEAH.

143
00:05:08,742 --> 00:05:10,644
WERE YOU GOING
TO GO SEE YOUR FRIEND?

144
00:05:10,678 --> 00:05:10,944
LAURIE?

145
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:12,179
YEAH.

146
00:05:12,212 --> 00:05:14,047
I WISH YOU'D
CALL HER LAURIE.

147
00:05:14,081 --> 00:05:16,584
WERE YOU GOING TO GO SEE HER
GRADUATE LAW SCHOOL TOMORROW?

148
00:05:16,617 --> 00:05:19,286
YEAH.

149
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,289
YOU CAN'T.

150
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:23,557
OKAY.

151
00:05:23,591 --> 00:05:25,659
I REALLY DO BELIEVE
STEVE ONORATO KNOWS AND HE'S...

152
00:05:25,693 --> 00:05:27,194
YEAH.

153
00:05:27,227 --> 00:05:29,730
HE'LL TRY AND USE IT
TO EMBARRASS US.

154
00:05:29,763 --> 00:05:31,632
OKAY.

155
00:05:31,665 --> 00:05:33,266
THEY KNOW WHO THIS GIRL IS.

156
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:34,735
THEY KNOW SHE'S GRADUATING
LAW SCHOOL TOMORROW.

157
00:05:34,768 --> 00:05:37,104
THEY KNOW IT'S SOMEPLACE
YOU'RE LIKELY TO BE.

158
00:05:37,137 --> 00:05:38,706
MAYBE THEY WANT
TO SNAP A PICTURE...

159
00:05:38,739 --> 00:05:41,041
LAURIE.
WHAT?

160
00:05:41,074 --> 00:05:43,811
YOU CALLED HER "THIS GIRL."

161
00:05:43,844 --> 00:05:45,446
SAM, YOU CAN'T.

162
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:46,346
I SAID OKAY, TOBY.

163
00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:47,881
DO YOU SEE ME
ARGUING WITH YOU?

164
00:05:47,915 --> 00:05:49,717
NO.

165
00:05:49,750 --> 00:05:52,219
ANYTHING ELSE?

166
00:05:52,252 --> 00:05:54,655
NOPE.

167
00:05:54,688 --> 00:05:55,489
( sighs )

168
00:05:55,523 --> 00:05:57,658
BIGGEST DAY OF HER LIFE.

169
00:05:57,691 --> 00:05:59,927
HUGE DAY.

170
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:01,629
I MEAN, SHE
PUT HERSELF

171
00:06:01,662 --> 00:06:02,963
THROUGH LAW SCHOOL,
AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE

172
00:06:02,996 --> 00:06:05,032
IN SOUTH CAROLINA THAT DON'T
LIKE HOW SHE DID IT...

173
00:06:05,065 --> 00:06:05,999
NOT JUST SOUTH CAROLINA, SAM.

174
00:06:06,033 --> 00:06:07,401
THEN BOTH CAROLINAS, TOBY

175
00:06:07,435 --> 00:06:09,102
THOUGH I'VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD
WHAT BUSINESS IT IS...

176
00:06:09,136 --> 00:06:10,604
YOU CAN'T GO, SAM.

177
00:06:13,140 --> 00:06:15,108
I'M NOT GOING.

178
00:06:15,142 --> 00:06:16,043
THANK YOU.

179
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:33,861
LEO.

180
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:34,662
IS HE HERE?
YEAH.

181
00:06:34,695 --> 00:06:35,629
WAIT IN HERE
FOR A MINUTE

182
00:06:35,663 --> 00:06:37,465
THEN GO BACK OUT
AND SEND HIM IN.

183
00:06:37,498 --> 00:06:40,468
OKAY. WHY DO YOU WANT ME
TO WAIT IN HERE?

184
00:06:40,501 --> 00:06:42,770
BECAUSE I DO.

185
00:06:42,803 --> 00:06:43,904
OKAY.

186
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:54,682
IT FEELS WEIRD NOT
DOING ANYTHING.

187
00:06:54,715 --> 00:06:57,117
YEAH...

188
00:07:00,854 --> 00:07:02,623
IT FEELS WEIRD, YOU KNOW,
'CAUSE THE INSTINCT...

189
00:07:02,656 --> 00:07:05,192
OKAY, GO OUT AND SEND HIM IN.

190
00:07:05,225 --> 00:07:06,627
OKAY.

191
00:07:14,401 --> 00:07:15,569
BARRY.

192
00:07:15,603 --> 00:07:16,369
YES.

193
00:07:16,403 --> 00:07:18,105
LEO McGARRY.

194
00:07:18,138 --> 00:07:19,106
BARRY HASKEL.

195
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:20,708
GOOD TO MEET YOU.

196
00:07:20,741 --> 00:07:22,776
IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME
IN THE WHITE HOUSE?

197
00:07:22,810 --> 00:07:24,211
IT'S MY FIRST TIME
IN THE WEST WING.

198
00:07:24,244 --> 00:07:26,947
YOU'VE BEEN ON THE FEDERAL
ELECTION COMMISSION
FOR NINE YEARS

199
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:29,216
AND NO ONE'S EVER INVITED YOU
TO THE WHITE HOUSE?

200
00:07:29,249 --> 00:07:30,317
NOT TO THE WEST WING.

201
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:31,585
THERE HAVE BEEN...

202
00:07:31,619 --> 00:07:33,621
I GO TO THE ANNUAL
CHRISTMAS PARTY AT O.E.O.B.

203
00:07:33,654 --> 00:07:35,455
AND LAST CHRISTMAS
THE VICE PRESIDENT

204
00:07:35,489 --> 00:07:37,290
STOPPED IN FOR A MOMENT
AND IT WAS VERY NICE.

205
00:07:37,324 --> 00:07:38,025
BARRY.

206
00:07:38,058 --> 00:07:40,928
MM-HMM.

207
00:07:40,961 --> 00:07:43,964
I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM

208
00:07:43,997 --> 00:07:45,999
AND, SPECIFICALLY,
SOFT MONEY CONTRIBUTIONS.

209
00:07:46,033 --> 00:07:48,101
RIGHT. I HAD A HUNCH.

210
00:07:48,135 --> 00:07:50,270
COULD I POSSIBLY HAVE
A GLASS OF FRUIT JUICE?

211
00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:51,371
ARE YOU THIRSTY?

212
00:07:51,404 --> 00:07:52,773
I'LL BE PERFECTLY
HONEST, MR. McGARRY.

213
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:54,107
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I'VE BEEN CALLED

214
00:07:54,141 --> 00:07:56,243
TO THE OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE
CHIEF OF STAFF.

215
00:07:56,276 --> 00:07:57,344
YOU'RE A LITTLE NERVOUS?

216
00:07:57,377 --> 00:07:58,979
YOU KNOW YOU WALK
PAST A DRESS MARINE

217
00:07:59,012 --> 00:07:59,980
WHEN YOU COME IN HERE?

218
00:08:00,013 --> 00:08:02,449
RODNEY.

219
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:03,884
I DIDN'T CATCH HIS NAME, BUT...

220
00:08:03,917 --> 00:08:04,952
OH, RODNEY'S GREAT.

221
00:08:04,985 --> 00:08:07,187
RODNEY!

222
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:08,155
YES, MR. McGARRY.

223
00:08:08,188 --> 00:08:10,591
COULD YOU DO THAT THING
YOU WERE DOING BEFORE?

224
00:08:24,605 --> 00:08:26,373
THANKS, RODNEY.

225
00:08:26,406 --> 00:08:28,576
ANY TIME, SIR.

226
00:08:28,609 --> 00:08:31,111
IT'S AMAZING, AND THAT RIFLE'S
REALLY LOADED, TOO.

227
00:08:31,144 --> 00:08:32,112
MR. McGARRY...

228
00:08:32,145 --> 00:08:33,080
CALL ME LEO.

229
00:08:33,113 --> 00:08:33,914
LEO...

230
00:08:33,947 --> 00:08:35,583
THERE'S NO NEED
TO BE NERVOUS, BARRY.

231
00:08:35,616 --> 00:08:38,118
WE KNOW YOU'RE ONE OF US.

232
00:08:38,151 --> 00:08:39,152
I'M SORRY?

233
00:08:39,186 --> 00:08:40,153
I SAY

234
00:08:40,187 --> 00:08:42,189
WE KNOW YOU'RE ONE OF US.

235
00:08:42,222 --> 00:08:44,391
SIX COMMISSIONERS
ON THE F.E.C.

236
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:48,028
TWO JUST RESIGNED,
LEAVING FOUR, INCLUDING YOU.

237
00:08:48,061 --> 00:08:50,430
THE BELIEF HAS ALWAYS BEEN
THAT NONE OF THE FOUR OF YOU

238
00:08:50,463 --> 00:08:53,300
FAVOR A BAN ON SOFT MONEY
CONTRIBUTIONS

239
00:08:53,333 --> 00:08:56,269
BUT THE TRUTH IS, YOU DO.

240
00:08:56,303 --> 00:08:57,070
THAT'S NOT TRUE.

241
00:08:57,104 --> 00:08:57,871
YES, IT IS.

242
00:08:57,905 --> 00:08:59,306
AND THE WAY THAT I KNOW
THAT IT IS

243
00:08:59,339 --> 00:09:00,841
IS 'CAUSE YOU SAID SO.

244
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:03,611
YOU SAID SO
TO THE NEWARK STAR-LEDGER

245
00:09:03,644 --> 00:09:06,513
ON MARCH 13th, 1995--

246
00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:07,981
"MONEY ISN'T SPEECH."

247
00:09:08,015 --> 00:09:10,618
AND YOU SAID SO
TWO YEARS BEFORE THAT

248
00:09:10,651 --> 00:09:12,753
TO THE DETROIT FREE PRESS.

249
00:09:12,786 --> 00:09:16,056
"WE MUST REVERSE THE 1978
REGULATORY DECISION

250
00:09:16,089 --> 00:09:18,358
ALLOWING SOFT MONEY."

251
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:20,027
THOSE QUOTES WERE ANONYMOUS.

252
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:21,028
NOT ANYMORE.

253
00:09:21,061 --> 00:09:22,262
I GAVE THOSE QUOTES

254
00:09:22,295 --> 00:09:23,163
ON THE CONDITION
OF ANONYMITY.

255
00:09:23,196 --> 00:09:24,564
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

256
00:09:24,598 --> 00:09:27,400
I WENT TO DRUG REHAB
ON THE CONDITION OF ANONYMITY.

257
00:09:27,434 --> 00:09:29,102
MAYBE YOU READ ABOUT IT
IN THE PAPERS.

258
00:09:29,136 --> 00:09:31,705
BARRY, BARRY!

259
00:09:31,739 --> 00:09:34,942
YOU WANT TO BAN SOFT MONEY,
YOU'RE ONE OF US.

260
00:09:34,975 --> 00:09:36,777
YOU'VE BEEN OUTED.

261
00:09:38,746 --> 00:09:41,414
IT NEVER MADE MUCH.

262
00:09:41,448 --> 00:09:43,651
BEING OUTNUMBERED FIVE TO ONE
ON THE F.E.C.

263
00:09:43,684 --> 00:09:47,254
IT NEVER MADE MUCH SENSE TO ME
TO SWIM AGAINST THE GRAIN.

264
00:09:47,287 --> 00:09:48,722
I WOULD HAVE BEEN...
I UNDERSTAND.

265
00:09:48,756 --> 00:09:50,223
I WOULD HAVE BEEN
IRRELEVANT...

266
00:09:50,257 --> 00:09:52,359
PLUS, YOU'D HAVE
HAD A HARD TIME
GETTING RE-UPPED

267
00:09:52,392 --> 00:09:53,694
BY THE SENATE WHEN
YOUR TERM EXPIRED.

268
00:09:53,727 --> 00:09:55,028
EXACTLY.
ON THE OTHER HAND

269
00:09:55,062 --> 00:09:56,864
IF WE HADN'T GONE
OUT AND FOUND YOU

270
00:09:56,897 --> 00:10:00,567
YOU PROBABLY NEVER
WOULD HAVE BEEN INVITED
TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

271
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,771
SEE, NOW... WHEN I GOT THE CALL
FROM YOUR OFFICE

272
00:10:03,804 --> 00:10:05,806
MY WIFE AND HER FRIENDS SAID

273
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:08,141
THIS IS WHAT
WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

274
00:10:08,175 --> 00:10:09,242
WHAT'S THAT?

275
00:10:09,276 --> 00:10:10,744
THAT YOU WERE GOING TO USE

276
00:10:10,778 --> 00:10:12,412
THE TRAPPINGS
OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

277
00:10:12,445 --> 00:10:15,883
THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE
A SORT OF, UM... INTIMIDATION.

278
00:10:15,916 --> 00:10:17,317
NO ONE'S INTIMIDATING YOU,
BARRY.

279
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:19,019
YOU'RE WITH US.

280
00:10:19,052 --> 00:10:21,689
YOU WERE WANDERING FOR
YEARS IN THE DARKNESS

281
00:10:21,722 --> 00:10:24,257
BUT WE CAME AND FOUND YOU.

282
00:10:24,291 --> 00:10:26,293
AND WELCOME BACK TO THE PACK.

283
00:10:26,326 --> 00:10:30,297
COERCION, THEN?

284
00:10:30,330 --> 00:10:32,666
AND I NOTICED THAT
I'M SITTING HERE

285
00:10:32,700 --> 00:10:35,635
IN THE CHIEF OF STAFF'S OFFICE

286
00:10:35,669 --> 00:10:38,338
WITH ALL THE TRAPPINGS
OF THE WHITE HOUSE

287
00:10:38,371 --> 00:10:40,407
AND MY WIFE
AND HER FRIENDS SAY

288
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:46,446
ITS NOT UNCOMMON FOR PEOPLE TO
GET LIGHTHEADED AND STARSTRUCK.

289
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:49,917
AND I'VE HEARD THE SAME THING
FROM OTHER PEOPLE, TOO.

290
00:10:49,950 --> 00:10:51,785
NONSENSE.

291
00:10:51,819 --> 00:10:53,987
LET ME SHOW YOU
AROUND THE PLACE.

292
00:10:54,021 --> 00:10:56,289
IF I COULD JUST GET
A GLASS OF WATER.

293
00:10:56,323 --> 00:10:57,758
NO PROBLEM. WE KEEP IT IN HERE.

294
00:10:59,092 --> 00:11:02,796
( men laughing and talking )

295
00:11:02,830 --> 00:11:05,733
MR. PRESIDENT, I'M
SO SORRY TO INTERRUPT.

296
00:11:05,766 --> 00:11:07,768
NOT AT ALL.
WE'RE JUST HAVING A NIGHTCAP.

297
00:11:07,801 --> 00:11:10,137
I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET
BARRY HASKEL FROM THE F.E.C.

298
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:12,572
OH, MAY I PRESENT
TREASURY SECRETARY KENNETH...

299
00:11:12,605 --> 00:11:13,673
HOW ARE YOU?

300
00:11:13,707 --> 00:11:15,108
MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL.

301
00:11:15,142 --> 00:11:16,109
DAN LARSON.

302
00:11:16,143 --> 00:11:18,178
OF COURSE, CIA DIRECTOR,
ROB KONRAD.

303
00:11:18,211 --> 00:11:19,179
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

304
00:11:19,212 --> 00:11:20,247
BARRY, I'M JED BARTLET.

305
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,482
I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE THINKING
ABOUT HELPING US OUT.

306
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:25,719
THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY.

307
00:11:25,753 --> 00:11:27,387
IT'S AN HONOR
TO MEET YOU, SIR.

308
00:11:27,420 --> 00:11:29,456
BARRY'S A
LITTLE THIRSTY.

309
00:11:29,489 --> 00:11:30,958
WELL, LET'S GET HIM A DRINK.

310
00:11:30,991 --> 00:11:31,759
THEY'LL TAKE
GOOD CARE OF YOU.

311
00:11:31,792 --> 00:11:32,760
COME ON, BARRY.

312
00:11:32,793 --> 00:11:33,894
SIT DOWN AND
HAVE A DRINK WITH US.

313
00:11:33,927 --> 00:11:38,966
LEO...

314
00:11:38,999 --> 00:11:40,367
JUST PUT HIM IN THE BOAT.

315
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,902
THIS COULD ALL BE
FOR NOTHING.

316
00:11:41,935 --> 00:11:42,903
YEAH.

317
00:11:42,936 --> 00:11:43,971
I MEAN, IF THE NUMBERS...

318
00:11:44,004 --> 00:11:45,005
YEAH.

319
00:11:45,038 --> 00:11:46,239
DID WE START?

320
00:11:46,273 --> 00:11:49,042
WE PUT THE POLL
IN THE FIELD THREE HOURS AGO.

321
00:11:49,076 --> 00:11:50,143
ALL RIGHT.

322
00:11:50,177 --> 00:11:52,746
DID THE GUYS MAKE
ANY PREDICTIONS?

323
00:11:52,780 --> 00:11:54,414
NO, I DIDN'T ASK.

324
00:11:54,447 --> 00:11:55,548
YES, YOU DID.

325
00:11:55,582 --> 00:11:57,117
THEY THINK WE'RE GOING
TO HOLD AT 42.

326
00:11:57,150 --> 00:11:58,786
TOBY THINKS WE DROPPED
A FEW POINTS

327
00:11:58,819 --> 00:12:01,554
BUT INSIDE THE MARGIN.

328
00:12:01,588 --> 00:12:03,757
IT COULD BE WORSE.
YEAH.

329
00:12:03,791 --> 00:12:06,559
I MEAN, IT COULD BE WORSE
THAN HOLDING AT 42.

330
00:12:06,593 --> 00:12:07,928
'CAUSE IF THESE NUMBERS
KEEP GOING DOWN

331
00:12:07,961 --> 00:12:10,697
I'M JUST A GUY WITH
BARRY HASKEL IN HIS OFFICE.

332
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:11,865
I'LL STOP BACK
IN TEN MINUTES.

333
00:12:11,899 --> 00:12:13,666
A DRESS MARINE
GUARDING YOUR DOOR?

334
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:14,868
TO SHOWY?

335
00:12:14,902 --> 00:12:16,269
MY THING IS WHAT'S
HE SUPPOSED

336
00:12:16,303 --> 00:12:17,905
TO BE GUARDING RIGHT NOW?

337
00:12:17,938 --> 00:12:20,440
I'LL BE RIGHT IN HERE.

338
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:21,441
THANKS.

339
00:12:21,474 --> 00:12:23,143
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

340
00:12:30,650 --> 00:12:33,086
Woman:
YOU ARE GRADUATING
TOMORROW.

341
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:33,887
SHH.

342
00:12:33,921 --> 00:12:36,123
YOU'RE GRADUATING TOMORROW.

343
00:12:36,156 --> 00:12:37,124
JANEANE...

344
00:12:37,157 --> 00:12:38,625
AND YET YOU ARE IN
A LIBRARY STUDYING.

345
00:12:38,658 --> 00:12:40,693
THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED
THE BAR EXAM.

346
00:12:40,727 --> 00:12:43,130
OH, ARE YOU
TAKING IT TONIGHT?

347
00:12:43,163 --> 00:12:44,131
NO.

348
00:12:44,164 --> 00:12:45,332
WELL...

349
00:12:45,365 --> 00:12:46,099
THEN LET'S GO OUT.

350
00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:48,168
JUST GIVE ME
TEN MORE MINUTES.

351
00:12:48,201 --> 00:12:49,236
( phone rings )

352
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:50,337
OH, GOD, IS THAT ME?

353
00:12:50,370 --> 00:12:54,241
THAT'S ME.

354
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:56,643
SEE THE ADVANTAGES OF
BEING A WAITRESS?

355
00:12:56,676 --> 00:12:57,777
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO TAKE THE BAR EXAM?

356
00:12:57,811 --> 00:12:59,079
THAT'S RIGHT.

357
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:01,281
YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO BE A WAITRESS FOREVER.

358
00:13:01,314 --> 00:13:04,484
ANSWER YOUR PHONE.

359
00:13:04,517 --> 00:13:05,552
HELLO.

360
00:13:05,585 --> 00:13:07,420
Sam:
Are you in the library?

361
00:13:07,454 --> 00:13:08,421
IT'S YOU.

362
00:13:08,455 --> 00:13:08,989
Are you in the library

363
00:13:09,022 --> 00:13:10,390
ON THE NIGHT BEFORE?

364
00:13:10,423 --> 00:13:13,961
Three years of law school--
I do not understand real estate.

365
00:13:13,994 --> 00:13:15,896
NOBODY DOES. LISTEN...

366
00:13:15,929 --> 00:13:17,364
YOU CAN'T COME TOMORROW.

367
00:13:17,397 --> 00:13:18,431
No.

368
00:13:21,268 --> 00:13:24,804
I UNDERSTAND.

369
00:13:24,838 --> 00:13:26,239
THERE'S REASON TO BELIEVE

370
00:13:26,273 --> 00:13:29,276
A STAFFER IN THE MAJORITY
LEADER'S OFFICE KNOWS ABOUT YOU.

371
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:30,410
HE KNOWS THAT I KNOW YOU

372
00:13:30,443 --> 00:13:32,112
AND HE'S PROBABLY KNOWN
THE INFORMATION FOR SOME TIME

373
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:33,446
BUT HAS BEEN WAITING
FOR THE MOMENT

374
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,815
when that information will cause
the most trouble.

375
00:13:35,849 --> 00:13:38,185
AND THAT MOMENT'S NOW?

376
00:13:38,218 --> 00:13:40,787
Yeah.

377
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:42,455
THAT'S OKAY.

378
00:13:42,489 --> 00:13:44,157
NO, IT'S NOT OKAY, BUT...

379
00:13:44,191 --> 00:13:46,960
Baby, don't guilt yourself
over this.

380
00:13:46,994 --> 00:13:49,496
I KNOW YOU'LL BE THINKING
ABOUT ME.

381
00:13:49,529 --> 00:13:52,099
I will.

382
00:13:52,132 --> 00:13:55,768
YOU GO KNOCK 'EM DEAD TOMORROW.

383
00:13:55,802 --> 00:13:57,270
OKAY.

384
00:13:57,304 --> 00:13:58,838
Okay.

385
00:14:03,877 --> 00:14:05,512
HE CAN'T MAKE IT.

386
00:14:05,545 --> 00:14:07,447
YEAH, I KIND OF GUESSED.

387
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,216
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

388
00:14:09,249 --> 00:14:12,319
THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S YOUR WEEK.

389
00:14:12,352 --> 00:14:13,553
( chuckles )

390
00:14:17,958 --> 00:14:18,926
YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUN?

391
00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:21,128
THE POTOMAC
IN THE MORNING.

392
00:14:21,161 --> 00:14:23,030
JOGGING ALONG
THE POTOMAC
OR SCULLING.

393
00:14:23,063 --> 00:14:24,464
WERE YOU JOGGING
THIS MORNING?

394
00:14:24,497 --> 00:14:24,932
NO.

395
00:14:24,965 --> 00:14:26,033
WERE YOU
SCULLING?

396
00:14:26,066 --> 00:14:28,035
NO, I WAS SITTING ON A
BENCH HAVING A BAGEL.

397
00:14:28,068 --> 00:14:29,536
BUT FROM WHERE I WAS,
BOTH JOGGING AND SCULLING

398
00:14:29,569 --> 00:14:30,737
LOOKED GOOD TO ME.

399
00:14:30,770 --> 00:14:33,673
BONNIE, I NEED YOU TO ARRANGE
A MEETING WITH ROSS KASSENBACH.

400
00:14:33,706 --> 00:14:35,042
FOR WHEN?
SOON AS POSSIBLE.

401
00:14:35,075 --> 00:14:37,744
ALSO, I NEED THE NEXT TWO
MINUTES THE PRESIDENT'S GOT.

402
00:14:37,777 --> 00:14:39,312
YOU FOUND ONE?
YEAH.

403
00:14:39,346 --> 00:14:43,350
AMBASSADOR TO THE FEDERATED
STATES OF MICRONESIA.

404
00:14:43,383 --> 00:14:44,217
IS THAT A REAL COUNTRY?

405
00:14:44,251 --> 00:14:45,885
YEP.
THE FEDERATED
STATES

406
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:47,087
OF MICRONESIA?
YES.

407
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,055
'CAUSE IT SOUNDS
LIKE A PLACE

408
00:14:48,088 --> 00:14:49,422
THE MARX BROTHERS...
REAL COUNTRY.

409
00:14:49,456 --> 00:14:51,324
TOBY, THE PRESIDENT'S GOT
TWO MINUTES IN TWO MINUTES.

410
00:14:51,358 --> 00:14:53,961
COME WITH ME FOR THIS.

411
00:14:53,994 --> 00:14:55,195
President:
BASED ON WHAT?

412
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:57,264
BASED ON WHAT IS HE
MAKING THAT CLAIM?

413
00:14:57,297 --> 00:14:58,265
BASED ON A MEMO...

414
00:14:58,298 --> 00:14:59,566
WE'VE BEEN OUT THERE
FOR THREE WEEKS.

415
00:14:59,599 --> 00:15:00,600
GOOD MORNING, CHARLIE.

416
00:15:00,633 --> 00:15:02,069
WE'VE BEEN OUT
THERE FOR THREE WEEKS.

417
00:15:02,102 --> 00:15:03,971
CROSSFIRE, MEET THE PRESS,
CHARLIE ROSE

418
00:15:04,004 --> 00:15:05,538
THE TODAY SHOW,
THE TONIGHT SHOW

419
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:07,707
GOOD MORNING, SCOTTSDALE.

420
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:09,576
TIME, NEWSWEEK,
POPULAR MECHANICS.

421
00:15:09,609 --> 00:15:10,710
WE'VE BEEN OUT THERE SAYING

422
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:12,112
WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT LEGALIZATION--

423
00:15:12,145 --> 00:15:13,480
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TREATMENT.

424
00:15:13,513 --> 00:15:14,814
SIR, THERE'S A MEMO.

425
00:15:14,847 --> 00:15:16,149
IT'S THE SAME MEMO
THAT'S BEEN GENERATED

426
00:15:16,183 --> 00:15:17,951
BY EVERY ADMINISTRATION
FOR 30 YEARS.

427
00:15:17,985 --> 00:15:19,319
WELL, HOW DO YOU
WANT TO HANDLE IT?

428
00:15:19,352 --> 00:15:20,988
BY SAYING IT'S THE SAME
THAT'S BEEN GENERATED

429
00:15:21,021 --> 00:15:22,022
BY EVERY ADMINISTRATION
FOR 30 YEARS.

430
00:15:22,055 --> 00:15:23,490
IT SOUNDS LIKE
WE'RE SOFT

431
00:15:23,523 --> 00:15:25,325
ON THE ISSUE.
GOOD MORNING, MR. PRESIDENT.

432
00:15:25,358 --> 00:15:28,195
STEVE ONORATO'S SAYING
I WANT TO LEGALIZE DRUGS.

433
00:15:28,228 --> 00:15:29,596
Sam:
THAT'S THE SAME MEMO
THAT'S BEEN

434
00:15:29,629 --> 00:15:31,864
GENERATED BY EVERY
ADMINISTRATION FOR 30 YEARS.

435
00:15:31,898 --> 00:15:34,534
C.J., THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT YOU SHOULD SAY.

436
00:15:34,567 --> 00:15:37,170
THANKS.

437
00:15:37,204 --> 00:15:38,805
LEO WAS IN HERE LAST NIGHT.

438
00:15:38,838 --> 00:15:39,672
HE SAID YOU GUYS
PREDICTED

439
00:15:39,706 --> 00:15:41,774
WE'D HOLD STEADY AT 42.

440
00:15:41,808 --> 00:15:43,176
WERE YOU JUST BEING
OPTIMISTIC

441
00:15:43,210 --> 00:15:44,311
OR YOU REALLY THINK
WE HELD OUR GROUND?

442
00:15:44,344 --> 00:15:45,778
Toby:
I SAID WE MIGHT
DROP A COUPLE

443
00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:46,779
BUT INSIDE THE MARGIN.

444
00:15:46,813 --> 00:15:48,148
I THINK WE HELD OUR GROUND.

445
00:15:48,181 --> 00:15:49,682
I DIDN'T SAY THAT, SIR.

446
00:15:49,716 --> 00:15:50,750
SORRY?

447
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:52,019
I DIDN'T SAY WE'D
HOLD STEADY AT 42.

448
00:15:52,052 --> 00:15:54,687
I SAID WE'D GAIN
FIVE POINTS.

449
00:15:54,721 --> 00:15:55,722
YEAH?

450
00:15:55,755 --> 00:15:57,357
YES, SIR.

451
00:15:57,390 --> 00:15:58,725
WELL, OKAY.

452
00:15:58,758 --> 00:16:01,194
ANYBODY WANT TO OFFER
C.J. THE ODDS?

453
00:16:02,996 --> 00:16:04,764
TALK TO THE PRESS.

454
00:16:04,797 --> 00:16:05,632
YES, SIR.

455
00:16:05,665 --> 00:16:06,599
TELL THEM EVERY
ADMINISTRATION

456
00:16:06,633 --> 00:16:09,136
FOR THE PAST 30
YEARS HAS GENERATED
THAT MEMO.

457
00:16:09,169 --> 00:16:10,503
YES, SIR.
THAT'S IT.

458
00:16:10,537 --> 00:16:11,438
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

459
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:13,640
THANK YOU.

460
00:16:13,673 --> 00:16:15,875
WHAT DO YOU GOT?

461
00:16:15,908 --> 00:16:17,777
THE FEDERATED STATES
OF MICRONESIA.

462
00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:18,878
TOBY SAYS IT'S A COUNTRY.

463
00:16:18,911 --> 00:16:20,280
IT IS. YOU KNOW WHERE?

464
00:16:20,313 --> 00:16:21,814
I ASSUME IT'S
A SMALL ISLAND

465
00:16:21,848 --> 00:16:23,050
IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC.

466
00:16:23,083 --> 00:16:24,784
IT'S ACTUALLY
607 SMALL ISLANDS

467
00:16:24,817 --> 00:16:27,487
IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC.

468
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,822
INTERESTINGLY, WHILE ITS
TOTAL LAND MASS

469
00:16:29,856 --> 00:16:31,558
IS ONLY 270 SQUARE MILES

470
00:16:31,591 --> 00:16:33,826
IT OCCUPIES MORE THAN
A MILLION SQUARE MILES

471
00:16:33,860 --> 00:16:35,495
OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

472
00:16:35,528 --> 00:16:37,030
POPULATION'S
127,000

473
00:16:37,064 --> 00:16:40,067
AND THE U.S. EMBASSY IS LOCATED
IN THE STATE OF POHNPEI

474
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:44,804
AND NOT, AS MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE,
ON THE ISLAND OF YAP.

475
00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:47,707
WHY WOULD A PERSON
HAVE THAT INFORMATION
AT THEIR DISPOSAL?

476
00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:49,276
PARTIES.

477
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:52,145
Toby:
UM, SIR?

478
00:16:52,179 --> 00:16:54,747
I LOOKED AT THE FEDERATED STATES
OF MICRONESIA.

479
00:16:54,781 --> 00:16:56,183
I CAN'T FIRE OUR AMBASSADOR.

480
00:16:56,216 --> 00:16:58,017
WHY NOT?
SOMEBODY'S
GOING TO ASK ME

481
00:16:58,051 --> 00:16:59,819
WHY I FIRED HIM
AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO COME UP

482
00:16:59,852 --> 00:17:00,987
WITH THE ANSWER
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.

483
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:02,389
SAM'S GOT YOU COVERED.

484
00:17:02,422 --> 00:17:03,290
HOW?

485
00:17:03,323 --> 00:17:05,192
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
FIRE THE AMBASSADOR.

486
00:17:05,225 --> 00:17:06,826
YOU'RE GOING TO PROMOTE HIM.

487
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:07,827
TO WHAT?

488
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:09,062
AMBASSADOR TO PARAGUAY.

489
00:17:09,096 --> 00:17:11,364
AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
AMBASSADOR TO PARAGUAY?

490
00:17:11,398 --> 00:17:13,433
YOU MAKE HIM AMBASSADOR
TO BULGARIA.

491
00:17:13,466 --> 00:17:14,367
HEY, I LIKE THIS.

492
00:17:14,401 --> 00:17:15,702
OF COURSE, IF EVERYBODY
KEEPS MOVING UP ONE

493
00:17:15,735 --> 00:17:17,204
THEN I GET
TO GO HOME.

494
00:17:17,237 --> 00:17:18,338
THE BULGARIAN
AMBASSADOR'S

495
00:17:18,371 --> 00:17:20,773
BELIEVED TO BE
HAVING AN AFFAIR

496
00:17:20,807 --> 00:17:22,375
WITH THE DAUGHTER
OF PRIME MINISTER

497
00:17:22,409 --> 00:17:23,376
TODER LUKANOV.

498
00:17:23,410 --> 00:17:24,977
THAT AMBASSADOR
IS KEN COCHRAN?

499
00:17:25,011 --> 00:17:26,346
YES, SIR.

500
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:28,248
HE'S HAVING AN AFFAIR
WITH THE DAUGHTER

501
00:17:28,281 --> 00:17:30,049
OF THE BULGARIAN
PRIME MINISTER?

502
00:17:30,083 --> 00:17:32,051
WHO THE STATE DEPARTMENT
IS SAYING IS UPSET.

503
00:17:32,085 --> 00:17:33,786
I CAN IMAGINE.

504
00:17:33,820 --> 00:17:34,987
DO YOU KNOW HIM, SIR?

505
00:17:35,021 --> 00:17:37,124
THE PRIME MINISTER OF BULGARIA?

506
00:17:37,157 --> 00:17:38,391
AMBASSADOR COCHRAN.

507
00:17:38,425 --> 00:17:40,493
I KNOW HIS WIFE.

508
00:17:40,527 --> 00:17:41,194
OUCH.

509
00:17:41,228 --> 00:17:42,762
I GOT TO FIRE
KEN COCHRAN?

510
00:17:42,795 --> 00:17:44,631
YES, SIR.

511
00:17:44,664 --> 00:17:46,733
I DON'T WANT IT TO BE
BECAUSE OF THE GIRL.

512
00:17:46,766 --> 00:17:47,767
WHY NOT?

513
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,669
I KNOW HIS WIFE.

514
00:17:49,702 --> 00:17:52,739
WE CAN CREATE LEGITIMATE GROUNDS
FOR INCOMPETENCE.

515
00:17:52,772 --> 00:17:53,806
WELL, IT
LOOKS TO ME

516
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,943
LIKE THERE ARE LEGITIMATE
GROUNDS FOR INCOMPETENCE

517
00:17:56,976 --> 00:17:59,379
BUT COME UP WITH
DIFFERENT ONES, WOULD YOU?

518
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:00,079
YES, SIR.

519
00:18:00,113 --> 00:18:01,414
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.

520
00:18:01,448 --> 00:18:02,915
Both:
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

521
00:18:02,949 --> 00:18:06,052
CHARLIE.

522
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:07,954
YES, SIR.

523
00:18:07,987 --> 00:18:09,389
I NEED TO MEET
WITH AMBASSADOR COCHRAN.

524
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:11,090
HE CAN BE FOUND
IN HIS OFFICE

525
00:18:11,124 --> 00:18:13,260
AT THE U.S. EMBASSY
IN BULGARIA, OR NOT.

526
00:18:13,293 --> 00:18:15,362
EITHER WAY, I'D LIKE
THE STATE DEPARTMENT TO PUT

527
00:18:15,395 --> 00:18:17,864
HIS ASS ON A PLANE AND HAVE IT
IN THIS OFFICE TOMORROW.

528
00:18:17,897 --> 00:18:18,898
YES, SIR.

529
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:19,899
THANK YOU.

530
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:21,568
IS THAT KEN COCHRAN,
MR. PRESIDENT?

531
00:18:21,601 --> 00:18:22,302
YEAH.

532
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:23,470
OKAY.

533
00:18:23,503 --> 00:18:24,771
WHAT?

534
00:18:24,804 --> 00:18:26,105
I'M SORRY, SIR?

535
00:18:26,139 --> 00:18:28,107
IT LOOKED LIKE
WHEN I SAID KEN COCHRAN

536
00:18:28,141 --> 00:18:29,476
THAT YOU KNEW WHO HE WAS.

537
00:18:29,509 --> 00:18:30,410
NO, SIR.

538
00:18:30,443 --> 00:18:31,711
OKAY.

539
00:18:31,744 --> 00:18:36,783
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

540
00:18:36,816 --> 00:18:39,118
Josh:
THEY MIGHT PUT IT
ON THE TABLE.

541
00:18:39,152 --> 00:18:40,587
THEY WON'T PUT IT
ON THE TABLE.

542
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:41,254
THEY MIGHT.

543
00:18:41,288 --> 00:18:42,222
THEY WON'T.
I'M SAYING

544
00:18:42,255 --> 00:18:43,856
IF THEY DO PUT IT
ON THE TABLE...

545
00:18:43,890 --> 00:18:45,192
THEY WON'T.
IS THERE

546
00:18:45,225 --> 00:18:46,626
ANY POSSIBILITY
YOU'LL LET ME

547
00:18:46,659 --> 00:18:48,127
FINISH A SENTENCE?

548
00:18:48,161 --> 00:18:49,529
ANY CHANCE AT ALL?

549
00:18:49,562 --> 00:18:51,931
YOU DON'T HAVE TO RAISE
YOUR VOICE TO ME.

550
00:18:51,964 --> 00:18:55,067
HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW
IF I'M RAISING MY VOICE AT YOU?

551
00:18:55,101 --> 00:18:57,304
I GUESSED.

552
00:18:57,337 --> 00:18:59,806
YOU'RE HERE TO GIVE ME
A COUNTERARGUMENT ON ENGLISH

553
00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:02,342
AS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE
OF THE UNITED STATES;
YOU ARE NOT HERE

554
00:19:02,375 --> 00:19:04,444
TO SPECULATE ON WHETHER OR NOT
THE REPUBLICANS

555
00:19:04,477 --> 00:19:05,912
WILL PUT THE ISSUE
ON THE TABLE.

556
00:19:05,945 --> 00:19:06,813
OKAY.

557
00:19:06,846 --> 00:19:07,814
GOOD.

558
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:09,916
WHAT DID SHE SAY?

559
00:19:09,949 --> 00:19:11,218
THEY WON'T.

560
00:19:11,251 --> 00:19:13,553
OKAY, LOOK...

561
00:19:13,586 --> 00:19:14,554
JOSH.
WHAT?

562
00:19:14,587 --> 00:19:16,155
YOU WANTED ME
TO LET YOU KNOW
WHEN C.J. STARTED

563
00:19:16,189 --> 00:19:17,056
TALKING ABOUT
THE DRUG MEMO.

564
00:19:17,089 --> 00:19:18,024
C.J. STARTED
ALREADY?

565
00:19:18,057 --> 00:19:19,392
A HALF HOUR AGO.

566
00:19:19,426 --> 00:19:21,027
THE BRIEFING'S
NOT SUPPOSED TO
START TILL 11:00.

567
00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:23,263
GUESS WHAT?
MY WATCH SUCKS?

568
00:19:23,296 --> 00:19:25,465
WHEN I GET BACK,
YOU'RE GOING TO ARGUE WITH ME.

569
00:19:25,498 --> 00:19:28,235
WE'RE GOING TO ARGUE
ABOUT THINGS I WANT
TO ARGUE ABOUT

570
00:19:28,268 --> 00:19:29,902
AND YOU'LL DO YOUR BEST
NOT TO ANNOY ME.

571
00:19:29,936 --> 00:19:32,672
IT'S ALMOST HARD
TO BELIEVE YOU'RE
NOT MARRIED.

572
00:19:32,705 --> 00:19:33,806
OH-HO-HO!

573
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,875
MANY HAVE TRIED.

574
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:37,277
DID TOBY FIND A COUNTRY?

575
00:19:37,310 --> 00:19:39,346
THE FEDERATED STATES
OF MICRONESIA.

576
00:19:39,379 --> 00:19:40,647
IS THAT A REAL COUNTRY?

577
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,182
YES, IT'S LOCATED 2,500 MILES
SOUTHWEST OF HAWAII

578
00:19:43,216 --> 00:19:44,751
WHERE YOU'VE NEVER TAKEN ME.

579
00:19:44,784 --> 00:19:47,320
WHEN WAS I SUPPOSED
TO TAKE YOU TO HAWAII?

580
00:19:47,354 --> 00:19:49,222
ANYTIME. IT'S
SOMETHING
BOSSES DO.

581
00:19:49,256 --> 00:19:50,957
THE FEDERATED STATES
OF MICRONESIA.

582
00:19:50,990 --> 00:19:53,393
THEY HAVE SOME OF THE BEST
SCUBA DIVING IN THE WORLD.

583
00:19:53,426 --> 00:19:55,161
THE MANTAS, FOR INSTANCE,
ON THE ISLAND OF YAP

584
00:19:55,194 --> 00:19:55,928
ARE PRIZED
AMONG THOSE WHO...

585
00:19:55,962 --> 00:19:56,963
STOP TALKING NOW.

586
00:19:56,996 --> 00:19:58,365
...with the point being

587
00:19:58,398 --> 00:20:00,500
that the mandatory minimum
sentencing guidelines

588
00:20:00,533 --> 00:20:02,935
applied to crack cocaine
as opposed to powder cocaine

589
00:20:02,969 --> 00:20:04,804
are fairly transparently racist.

590
00:20:04,837 --> 00:20:07,039
A GUY TAKES HIS ASSISTANT
ON A QUICK TRIP TO MAUI.

591
00:20:07,073 --> 00:20:08,441
IT'S NOT, LIKE,
UNHEARD OF.
SHH.

592
00:20:08,475 --> 00:20:10,076
Hang on.

593
00:20:10,109 --> 00:20:10,643
Woman:
C.J.

594
00:20:10,677 --> 00:20:11,644
HANG ON.

595
00:20:11,678 --> 00:20:13,746
MANDATORY MINIMUMS REQUIRE
A FEDERAL JUDGE

596
00:20:13,780 --> 00:20:16,649
TO SENTENCE ANYONE CONVICTED OF
POSSESSING FIVE GRAMS OF CRACK

597
00:20:16,683 --> 00:20:17,817
TO AT LEAST FIVE YEARS
IN PRISON.

598
00:20:17,850 --> 00:20:19,619
IT TAKES 100 TIMES
AS MUCH POWDER COCAINE

599
00:20:19,652 --> 00:20:22,955
AND 20 TIMES AS MUCH HEROIN
TO GET THAT SENTENCE.

600
00:20:22,989 --> 00:20:25,358
70% OF ALL DRUG USERS ARE WHITE.

601
00:20:25,392 --> 00:20:26,826
80% OF ALL CRACK USERS
ARE BLACK.

602
00:20:26,859 --> 00:20:29,128
FEDERAL MANDATORY MINIMUMS
FOR CRACK USERS

603
00:20:29,161 --> 00:20:30,797
ARE A WAR
ON THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

604
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:31,598
DANNY.

605
00:20:31,631 --> 00:20:33,333
IS THE WHITE HOUSE
MAKING A CRUSADE

606
00:20:33,366 --> 00:20:35,201
OUT OF DEFENDING THE RIGHTS
OF DRUG USERS?

607
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:36,703
OH, PLEASE. KATIE,
YOU HAD A QUESTION.

608
00:20:36,736 --> 00:20:38,505
DO YOU HAVE...?
HANG ON, C.J.
I WAS ASKING IF...

609
00:20:38,538 --> 00:20:40,440
THE WHITE HOUSE
IS COMMITTED TO REVERSING

610
00:20:40,473 --> 00:20:42,208
THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS
OF DRUG ABUSE.

611
00:20:42,241 --> 00:20:43,276
WE BELIEVE THE BEST WAY

612
00:20:43,310 --> 00:20:44,644
IS TO TREAT DRUG
ADDICTION

613
00:20:44,677 --> 00:20:46,813
AS WHAT THE A.M.A.
HAS SAID IT IS-- A
MEDICAL PROBLEM.

614
00:20:46,846 --> 00:20:48,848
WE DO NOT BELIEVE
IN A PHONY WAR ON DRUGS

615
00:20:48,881 --> 00:20:50,783
THE CHIEF ACCOMPLISHMENT
OF WHICH WOULD BE

616
00:20:50,817 --> 00:20:52,919
TO EITHER KILL OR INCARCERATE
BLACK DRUG USERS.

617
00:20:52,952 --> 00:20:54,754
C.J., ARE YOU AWARE...?
STEVE ONORATO'S
SAYING

618
00:20:54,787 --> 00:20:56,723
THE WHITE HOUSE
SUPPORTS LEGALIZATION?

619
00:20:56,756 --> 00:20:58,425
YES.
HOW SURPRISING
THAT IN THE MIDST

620
00:20:58,458 --> 00:21:01,894
OF AN IMPORTANT DEBATE,
THE PRESIDENT WOULD BE ACCUSED
OF BEING SOFT ON DRUGS.

621
00:21:01,928 --> 00:21:04,697
STEVE ONORATO HAS A MEMO
WRITTEN BY THE ASSISTANT
SURGEON GENERAL.

622
00:21:04,731 --> 00:21:06,533
I'D BE HAPPY
TO PRODUCE
SIMILAR MEMOS

623
00:21:06,566 --> 00:21:07,934
WRITTEN FOR
EVERY PRESIDENT

624
00:21:07,967 --> 00:21:09,636
IN THE LAST 30 YEARS

625
00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:11,103
INCLUDING FOUR
REPUBLICANS.

626
00:21:11,137 --> 00:21:13,039
THAT'S ALL.
THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

627
00:21:13,072 --> 00:21:14,441
HI. THERE WASN'T,
I DON'T THINK

628
00:21:14,474 --> 00:21:15,908
A HUGE REASON
TO SNAP AT ME.

629
00:21:15,942 --> 00:21:16,976
IT WAS A
RIDICULOUS
QUESTION.

630
00:21:17,009 --> 00:21:18,445
NO, IT WASN'T.
IS THE WHITE HOUSE

631
00:21:18,478 --> 00:21:20,347
CRUSADING FOR THE
RIGHTS OF DRUG USERS?

632
00:21:20,380 --> 00:21:21,848
YOU KNOW THAT'S
NOT WHAT I MEANT.

633
00:21:21,881 --> 00:21:23,450
I DO, BUT I DON'T
COUNT ON EVERYBODY
ALWAYS UNDERSTANDING

634
00:21:23,483 --> 00:21:25,084
WHAT THE HELL COMES OUT
OF YOUR MOUTH

635
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:25,918
WHEN I CAN'T
HALF THE TIME.

636
00:21:25,952 --> 00:21:27,219
SO YOU WERE JUST
HELPING OUT.

637
00:21:27,253 --> 00:21:29,121
YES. YOU CAN'T STAY
PISSED AT ME FOREVER.

638
00:21:29,155 --> 00:21:30,723
LET'S FIND OUT.
MANDY'S THING
WENT AWAY.

639
00:21:30,757 --> 00:21:32,592
SEE ANYBODY WRITING
OR TALKING ABOUT IT?

640
00:21:32,625 --> 00:21:34,994
IS THERE REALLY A NEED
TO CONTINUE PUNISHING ME...?

641
00:21:35,027 --> 00:21:36,396
HANG ON.

642
00:21:42,068 --> 00:21:43,936
THEY TALK ABOUT IT
HERE, DANNY.

643
00:21:43,970 --> 00:21:45,472
THEY TALK ABOUT IT HERE.

644
00:21:45,505 --> 00:21:47,407
AND THEY BLAME YOU?

645
00:21:49,976 --> 00:21:51,478
THEY DON'T SAY IT.

646
00:21:51,511 --> 00:21:53,580
BUT THEY BLAME YOU.

647
00:21:53,613 --> 00:21:55,548
YES.

648
00:21:55,582 --> 00:21:57,917
AND YOU THINK
YOU'VE LET
THEM DOWN.

649
00:21:57,950 --> 00:21:59,986
( knocking )

650
00:22:01,354 --> 00:22:04,090
C.J., YOU'RE LATE
FOR THE G-7 BRIEFING.

651
00:22:04,123 --> 00:22:04,757
I HAVE TO GO
BACK TO WORK.

652
00:22:04,791 --> 00:22:06,693
OKAY.

653
00:22:06,726 --> 00:22:08,495
C.J.?

654
00:22:08,528 --> 00:22:10,897
CALL THE PHONE BANKS,
CHECK IN WITH THE POLL.

655
00:22:10,930 --> 00:22:12,164
I CHECKED IN
WITH THE POLL
A HALF HOUR AGO.

656
00:22:12,198 --> 00:22:13,700
CHECK AGAIN.

657
00:22:33,152 --> 00:22:34,721
LEO...

658
00:22:34,754 --> 00:22:35,422
YEAH?

659
00:22:35,455 --> 00:22:37,089
C.J.'S HERE.

660
00:22:37,123 --> 00:22:38,525
OKAY.

661
00:22:38,558 --> 00:22:41,994
WANT TO HEAR A JOKE?

662
00:22:42,028 --> 00:22:43,362
UH... OKAY.

663
00:22:43,396 --> 00:22:44,531
YOU KNOW WHY

664
00:22:44,564 --> 00:22:46,165
THEY EAT ONLY ONE EGG
FOR BREAKFAST IN FRANCE?

665
00:22:46,198 --> 00:22:47,400
WHY?

666
00:22:47,434 --> 00:22:49,736
'CAUSE IN FRANCE,
ONE EGG IS AN OEUF.

667
00:22:51,137 --> 00:22:53,005
OKAY, C.J.'S HERE.

668
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:54,407
OKAY.

669
00:22:59,145 --> 00:22:59,612
HI.

670
00:22:59,646 --> 00:23:01,781
HEY.

671
00:23:01,814 --> 00:23:03,249
THE LID IS ON.

672
00:23:03,282 --> 00:23:05,051
YOU TOLD ME.
HMM?

673
00:23:05,084 --> 00:23:09,188
YOU CALLED ME AN HOUR AGO
AND TOLD ME IT WAS A FULL LID.

674
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:12,124
YEAH.

675
00:23:12,158 --> 00:23:13,259
I'M GOING
TO GO OVER

676
00:23:13,292 --> 00:23:15,928
TO THE PHONE BANKS,
CHECK IN WITH THE POLL.

677
00:23:15,962 --> 00:23:17,964
OKAY.

678
00:23:17,997 --> 00:23:20,633
LEO, THIS IS A SMALL THING
AND I HATE TO BRING IT UP...

679
00:23:20,667 --> 00:23:21,534
WHAT?

680
00:23:21,568 --> 00:23:22,802
I WAS IN WITH THE PRESIDENT
THIS MORNING

681
00:23:22,835 --> 00:23:24,203
AND HE MENTIONED
THAT YOU TOLD HIM

682
00:23:24,236 --> 00:23:25,672
THAT WHEN YOU ASKED
FOR PREDICTIONS

683
00:23:25,705 --> 00:23:28,007
EVERYONE SAID WE'D HOLD STEADY
AT 42.

684
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,308
YEAH?

685
00:23:29,341 --> 00:23:30,610
BUT I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

686
00:23:30,643 --> 00:23:33,245
I SAID WE'D GO UP FIVE POINTS.

687
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:35,815
I MEANT IN GENERAL...
ON AVERAGE.

688
00:23:35,848 --> 00:23:36,516
YEAH...

689
00:23:36,549 --> 00:23:38,017
C.J., LIKE LOPPING
OFF THE SCORE

690
00:23:38,050 --> 00:23:39,285
FROM THE EAST
GERMAN JUDGE.

691
00:23:39,318 --> 00:23:40,587
IT WASN'T WOMAN'S INTUITION.

692
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:41,788
DON'T READ TOO MUCH...

693
00:23:41,821 --> 00:23:43,723
I'M SAYING IT'S STRANGE
MY TAKE WASN'T...

694
00:23:43,756 --> 00:23:45,658
I'M SAYING, DON'T READ
TOO MUCH INTO IT.

695
00:23:49,161 --> 00:23:50,863
ALL RIGHT?

696
00:23:50,897 --> 00:23:52,298
OKAY.

697
00:23:52,331 --> 00:23:54,767
ANYTHING ELSE?

698
00:23:54,801 --> 00:24:01,440
NO. I'M GOING TO GO CHECK
THE PHONE BANKS.

699
00:24:01,474 --> 00:24:02,775
Josh:
THEODORE ROOSEVELT SAID...

700
00:24:02,809 --> 00:24:03,576
JOSH...

701
00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:05,377
LET ME TELL YOU
WHAT ROOSEVELT SAID.

702
00:24:05,411 --> 00:24:07,446
WHAT DO I CARE
WHAT THEODORE ROOSEVELT SAID?

703
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,381
BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS
ARE GOING TO BRING IT UP.

704
00:24:09,415 --> 00:24:11,484
THEY AREN'T GOING
TO PUT IT ON THE TABLE.

705
00:24:11,518 --> 00:24:14,220
HE SAID "WE HAVE ROOM FOR
BUT ONE LANGUAGE HERE

706
00:24:14,253 --> 00:24:15,855
"AND THAT IS THE
ENGLISH LANGUAGE

707
00:24:15,888 --> 00:24:17,423
"FOR WE INTEND TO SEE
THAT THE CRUCIBLE

708
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:18,991
"TURNS OUR PEOPLE
OUT AS AMERICANS

709
00:24:19,025 --> 00:24:20,693
"AND NOT AS DWELLERS

710
00:24:20,727 --> 00:24:22,428
IN POLYGLOT
BOARDING HOUSE."

711
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:24,263
WHAT KIND
OF BOARDING HOUSE?

712
00:24:24,296 --> 00:24:25,632
POLYGLOT.
IT MEANS...

713
00:24:25,665 --> 00:24:27,333
HAVING KNOWLEDGE
OF OR SPEAKING...

714
00:24:27,366 --> 00:24:28,735
I KNOW WHAT POLYGLOT MEANS.

715
00:24:28,768 --> 00:24:30,903
THEN WHY DID
YOU ASK ME?

716
00:24:30,937 --> 00:24:31,838
HE ASKED YOU.

717
00:24:31,871 --> 00:24:32,872
MY POINT IS...

718
00:24:32,905 --> 00:24:33,706
WOULD THE TWO OF YOU

719
00:24:33,740 --> 00:24:35,274
SHUT UP--
OR THE THREE OF YOU?

720
00:24:35,307 --> 00:24:36,408
HOWEVER MANY OF YOU
ARE TALKING

721
00:24:36,442 --> 00:24:37,710
COULD HALF OF YOU STOP?

722
00:24:37,744 --> 00:24:41,180
MANDY'S WOUND A LITTLE TIGHT
DURING POLLING WINDOWS.

723
00:24:41,213 --> 00:24:42,281
C.J.:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

724
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:43,683
ANOTHER LAID-BACK MEMBER
OF OUR TEAM.

725
00:24:43,716 --> 00:24:45,117
WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING HERE?

726
00:24:45,151 --> 00:24:46,318
MANDY'S HERE

727
00:24:46,352 --> 00:24:47,353
'CAUSE SHE'S
SUPPOSED TO BE.

728
00:24:47,386 --> 00:24:49,021
JOEY'S HERE BECAUSE
AL KIEFER...

729
00:24:49,055 --> 00:24:50,222
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

730
00:24:50,256 --> 00:24:52,058
I'M KIND OF IN CHARGE
OF MORALE.

731
00:24:52,091 --> 00:24:53,292
CALLS ARE GOING GREAT.

732
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:54,661
I'M TRYING TO MEET
A DEADLINE, JOSH.

733
00:24:54,694 --> 00:24:55,995
I'VE GOT A 48 HOUR WINDOW

734
00:24:56,028 --> 00:24:58,264
AND YOU CAN'T STAND HERE
DISTRACTING THE FEMALE CALLERS.

735
00:24:58,297 --> 00:24:59,999
HAVE I BEEN DISTRACTING

736
00:25:00,032 --> 00:25:01,433
THE FEMALE CALLERS?

737
00:25:01,467 --> 00:25:02,635
All:
NO.

738
00:25:02,669 --> 00:25:04,937
NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT?
THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING.

739
00:25:04,971 --> 00:25:06,873
THE WINDOW'S FINE;
IT'S A GOOD RESPONSE RATE.

740
00:25:06,906 --> 00:25:08,908
THEY'RE MAKING THEIR QUOTAS.
STOP BOTHERING ME.

741
00:25:08,941 --> 00:25:10,977
DID JOSH MENTION
HE'S IN CHARGE OF MORALE?

742
00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:11,911
YES, I AM, AND AS SUCH

743
00:25:11,944 --> 00:25:13,780
I'M GOING OUT TO GET COFFEE
FOR EVERYONE

744
00:25:13,813 --> 00:25:15,114
'CAUSE A FEW HUNDRED VOLTS
OF CAFFEINE

745
00:25:15,147 --> 00:25:18,050
IS JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED
AROUND HERE.

746
00:25:18,084 --> 00:25:20,486
AND YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN
MORE IMPRESSED

747
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:23,422
THAT I WAS ABLE TO QUOTE
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

748
00:25:23,455 --> 00:25:25,558
I WAS IMPRESSED THAT YOU KNEW

749
00:25:25,592 --> 00:25:28,127
WHAT POLYGLOT MEANT.

750
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,763
760 S.A.T. WORD, BABY.

751
00:25:30,797 --> 00:25:34,133
( women laughing )

752
00:25:44,476 --> 00:25:46,979
YOU ARE BOTH
DRUNK AND DISORDERLY.

753
00:25:47,013 --> 00:25:48,014
OH, MY GOD.

754
00:25:48,047 --> 00:25:49,215
HAPPY GRADUATION.

755
00:25:49,248 --> 00:25:50,149
HOW DID YOU...

756
00:25:50,182 --> 00:25:51,217
SURPRISE!
JANEANE?

757
00:25:51,250 --> 00:25:52,585
WE WORKED IN CAHOOTS.

758
00:25:52,619 --> 00:25:54,220
WE DID.
YOU PLANNED THIS?

759
00:25:54,253 --> 00:25:56,623
THIS IS WHY YOU
DRAGGED ME BACK
TO YOUR APARTMENT?

760
00:25:56,656 --> 00:25:58,124
ARE YOU GLAD
THAT I DRAGGED YOU BACK?

761
00:25:58,157 --> 00:25:59,325
YES.

762
00:25:59,358 --> 00:26:00,627
WELL, THEN, BE QUIET.

763
00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:03,095
AND I'LL BE UPSTAIRS.

764
00:26:03,129 --> 00:26:05,164
GOOD NIGHT, JANEANE.

765
00:26:05,197 --> 00:26:06,599
GOOD NIGHT, JANEANE.

766
00:26:11,170 --> 00:26:12,504
WHAT DID YOU GET ME?

767
00:26:12,538 --> 00:26:13,505
A GRADUATION GIFT.

768
00:26:13,539 --> 00:26:15,141
IS IT A BRIEFCASE?

769
00:26:15,174 --> 00:26:16,876
DID I JUST RUIN IT?

770
00:26:16,909 --> 00:26:18,044
I ONLY ASKED

771
00:26:18,077 --> 00:26:18,878
BECAUSE A BRIEFCASE

772
00:26:18,911 --> 00:26:21,113
IS THE TYPICAL LAW
SCHOOL GRADUATION GIFT

773
00:26:21,147 --> 00:26:22,081
AND WHEN I SAY TYPICAL

774
00:26:22,114 --> 00:26:24,050
I DON'T MEAN BORING,
I JUST MEAN BASIC.

775
00:26:24,083 --> 00:26:28,921
AND WHEN I SAY
BASIC I DON'T
MEAN BORING EITHER.

776
00:26:28,955 --> 00:26:30,857
OPEN THE BOX.

777
00:26:34,661 --> 00:26:35,928
YOU BOUGHT ME A PEN?

778
00:26:35,962 --> 00:26:36,863
IT'S A GOOD ONE.

779
00:26:36,896 --> 00:26:38,264
IT WRITES UPSIDE-DOWN
AND YOU CAN USE THAT PEN

780
00:26:38,297 --> 00:26:39,666
IN OUTER SPACE.

781
00:26:39,699 --> 00:26:41,133
( chuckles )

782
00:26:41,167 --> 00:26:43,202
WHERE'S MY PRESENT?

783
00:26:49,341 --> 00:26:51,443
HAPPY GRADUATION,
COUNSELOR.

784
00:26:51,477 --> 00:26:55,114
THANK YOU.

785
00:27:01,788 --> 00:27:03,489
WAY TO GO, LAURIE.

786
00:27:03,522 --> 00:27:04,657
THANK YOU.

787
00:27:06,325 --> 00:27:07,326
I HAVE TO GO.

788
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,728
YOU SPENDING
THE NIGHT HERE?

789
00:27:08,761 --> 00:27:10,262
NO, I'M GOING TO GO
UPSTAIRS...

790
00:27:10,296 --> 00:27:12,398
( car engine starts )

791
00:27:18,871 --> 00:27:21,040
DID YOU SEE ANYBODY
GET INTO THAT CAR?

792
00:27:21,073 --> 00:27:25,878
( tires squealing
in the distance )

793
00:27:40,526 --> 00:27:41,593
HE'S READY TO SEE US.

794
00:27:41,627 --> 00:27:42,661
WHAT'D HE SAY?

795
00:27:42,695 --> 00:27:44,797
HE SAID, "GET YOUR
ASS OVER HERE."

796
00:27:44,831 --> 00:27:46,465
I'VE DRAFTED A LETTER
OF RESIGNATION.

797
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:47,967
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
GIVE IT TO HIM, SAM

798
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,769
'CAUSE THAT WOULD
DENY ME THE PLEASURE

799
00:27:49,802 --> 00:27:51,470
OF THROWING YOU OUT
THROUGH A PLATE
GLASS WINDOW.

800
00:27:51,503 --> 00:27:52,538
YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT
TO SAY THAT.

801
00:27:52,571 --> 00:27:53,806
THANK YOU FOR
ACKNOWLEDGING
THAT RIGHT.

802
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,307
I SHOULD KEEP
YOU ON A LEASH...

803
00:27:55,341 --> 00:27:56,542
LEO?

804
00:27:56,575 --> 00:27:58,610
I'M TALKING TO C.J.,
THEN I'M TALKING TO YOU.

805
00:27:58,644 --> 00:28:00,246
TEN FOOT CHAIN
AROUND YOUR NECK

806
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:01,447
I BOLT YOU TO YOUR DESK

807
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,648
I HAVE SOMEONE COME IN
AND FEED YOU.

808
00:28:02,681 --> 00:28:04,683
I'M GOING TO CHECK,
BUT I'M ALMOST CERTAIN

809
00:28:04,717 --> 00:28:06,418
THE PRESIDENT WAS REFERRING TO
THE NASDAQ COMPOSITE

810
00:28:06,452 --> 00:28:09,288
AND NOT THE 30-YEAR
TREASURY YIELD.

811
00:28:09,321 --> 00:28:13,960
NOT THE DOW INDUSTRIALS,
THE NASDAQ COMPOSITE.

812
00:28:13,993 --> 00:28:17,797
OKAY, SOMEONE HERE'S
GOING TO GET BACK TO YOU.

813
00:28:17,830 --> 00:28:19,431
HOW DO YOU NOT TELL ME
UNTIL THIS MORNING?

814
00:28:19,465 --> 00:28:20,366
LEO...

815
00:28:20,399 --> 00:28:21,133
HOW DO YOU NOT CALL ME
LAST NIGHT?

816
00:28:21,167 --> 00:28:22,701
WE DIDN'T KNOW
ANYTHING LAST NIGHT.

817
00:28:22,735 --> 00:28:24,771
HE MET THE GIRL AND
SAW A SUSPICIOUS CAR.

818
00:28:24,804 --> 00:28:26,873
I'M NOT GOING TO CALL
UP THE WHITE HOUSE
CHIEF OF STAFF

819
00:28:26,906 --> 00:28:28,074
IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT

820
00:28:28,107 --> 00:28:29,508
BECAUSE SOMEONE
STARTED A CAR.

821
00:28:29,541 --> 00:28:30,676
I WAS HANDLING IT, LEO.

822
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:31,844
IT TOOK ME THREE HOURS

823
00:28:31,878 --> 00:28:33,545
TO CONFIRM THERE
WAS A PICTURE

824
00:28:33,579 --> 00:28:36,248
AND ANOTHER HOUR TO
FIND OUT WHO HAS IT.

825
00:28:36,282 --> 00:28:37,850
WHO HAS IT?

826
00:28:37,884 --> 00:28:40,152
THE LONDON DAILY MIRROR.

827
00:28:40,186 --> 00:28:41,153
THEY PAID A WAITRESS
FRIEND OF HERS

828
00:28:41,187 --> 00:28:42,388
$50,000 TO
SET IT UP

829
00:28:42,421 --> 00:28:45,457
AND CONFIRM SHE
WAS A CALL GIRL.

830
00:28:45,491 --> 00:28:46,658
WHEN IS IT RUNNING?

831
00:28:46,692 --> 00:28:47,726
IT'LL RUN LATER TODAY.

832
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,729
AMERICAN PRESS HAS
IT TOMORROW MORNING.

833
00:28:50,763 --> 00:28:51,663
HE WAS GIVING HER

834
00:28:51,697 --> 00:28:54,000
A GRADUATION PRESENT?
YEAH.

835
00:28:54,033 --> 00:28:55,902
WORK THE POST AND THE TIMES.

836
00:28:55,935 --> 00:28:57,003
YEAH.

837
00:28:58,037 --> 00:28:59,839
President:
YOU NEVER PAID THIS GIRL

838
00:28:59,872 --> 00:29:01,340
TO HAVE SEX?
NO, SIR.

839
00:29:01,373 --> 00:29:03,642
Toby:
THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT KIND
OF RELATIONSHIP, SIR.

840
00:29:03,675 --> 00:29:04,743
EXCEPT ONCE
AND THAT TIME

841
00:29:04,777 --> 00:29:06,212
HE DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

842
00:29:06,245 --> 00:29:07,279
THAT MAKES TWO OF US.

843
00:29:07,313 --> 00:29:09,115
SAM HAS ALWAYS BEEN
COMPLETELY ABOVE BOARD

844
00:29:09,148 --> 00:29:10,749
ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP
WITH LAURIE...

845
00:29:10,783 --> 00:29:11,951
LAURIE'S
THE GIRL?
YES, SIR.

846
00:29:11,984 --> 00:29:13,853
HE TOLD US ABOUT IT RIGHT
AFTER HIS FIRST CONTACT

847
00:29:13,886 --> 00:29:15,988
WITH HER
NINE MONTHS AGO.

848
00:29:16,022 --> 00:29:18,357
THE FACT THAT SHE
WAS PUTTING HERSELF
THROUGH LAW SCHOOL

849
00:29:18,390 --> 00:29:20,092
UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES THAT
WERE LESS THAN GOOD

850
00:29:20,126 --> 00:29:22,028
HAS TO MEAN SOMETHING,
AS DOES THE FACT

851
00:29:22,061 --> 00:29:23,329
THAT SAM'S WORD
IS UNIMPEACHABLE.

852
00:29:23,362 --> 00:29:26,298
TOBY, ARE YOU IN HERE
STICKING UP FOR SAM?

853
00:29:26,332 --> 00:29:27,533
I KNOW,
IT'S STRANGE, SIR.

854
00:29:27,566 --> 00:29:28,700
BUT I'M FEELING

855
00:29:28,734 --> 00:29:31,203
A CERTAIN BIG BROTHERLY
CONNECTION RIGHT NOW.

856
00:29:31,237 --> 00:29:33,472
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY
I'D LIKE THAT FEELING

857
00:29:33,505 --> 00:29:35,207
TO GO AWAY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

858
00:29:35,241 --> 00:29:37,009
BUT FOR THE MOMENT

859
00:29:37,043 --> 00:29:39,378
I THINK THERE'S NO DANGER IN
THE WHITE HOUSE STANDING BY SAM

860
00:29:39,411 --> 00:29:41,780
AND AGGRESSIVELY GOING AFTER
THE PEOPLE WHO SET HIM UP.

861
00:29:43,515 --> 00:29:45,617
( sighs )

862
00:29:45,651 --> 00:29:48,587
SAM, YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND
THE MORNING

863
00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:50,089
IN THE WHITE HOUSE
COUNSEL'S OFFICE

864
00:29:50,122 --> 00:29:51,157
FINDING OUT
IF YOU BROKE ANY LAWS.

865
00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:52,124
YES, SIR.

866
00:29:52,158 --> 00:29:53,559
YOU SHOULD CALL THE GIRL--
WHAT'S HER NAME?

867
00:29:53,592 --> 00:29:54,626
LAURIE.
LAURIE.

868
00:29:54,660 --> 00:29:56,528
YOU SHOULD CALL
HER AND TELL HER

869
00:29:56,562 --> 00:29:57,964
THE WHITE HOUSE DEEPLY REGRETS

870
00:29:57,997 --> 00:30:00,399
THE PHENOMENAL INCONVENIENCE
SHE'S ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE.

871
00:30:00,432 --> 00:30:01,467
YES, SIR.

872
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:03,870
YOU MIGHT WANT TO
POINT OUT TO HER
SHE PROBABLY

873
00:30:03,903 --> 00:30:06,072
HAS A CAUSE OF ACTION
AGAINST THE PAPER.

874
00:30:06,105 --> 00:30:07,139
YES, SIR.

875
00:30:07,173 --> 00:30:10,042
YOU SHOULD TELL
HER THAT IF SHE
PASSES THE BAR EXAM

876
00:30:10,076 --> 00:30:11,577
THE U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL

877
00:30:11,610 --> 00:30:15,147
WILL PERSONALLY SEE
TO IT THAT SHE'S
ADMITTED TO THE BAR.

878
00:30:15,181 --> 00:30:16,082
YES, SIR.

879
00:30:16,115 --> 00:30:18,384
TELL HER THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES

880
00:30:18,417 --> 00:30:22,288
SAYS CONGRATULATIONS
ON GETTING HER DEGREE.

881
00:30:22,321 --> 00:30:23,489
YES, SIR.

882
00:30:23,522 --> 00:30:25,091
THAT'S ALL.

883
00:30:26,859 --> 00:30:29,228
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

884
00:30:34,100 --> 00:30:37,003
IT'S NICE WHEN WE CAN DO
SOMETHING FOR PROSTITUTES

885
00:30:37,036 --> 00:30:38,537
ONCE IN A WHILE, ISN'T IT?

886
00:30:38,570 --> 00:30:39,538
YES, SIR.

887
00:30:39,571 --> 00:30:40,973
MR. PRESIDENT...
WE READY TO GO?

888
00:30:41,007 --> 00:30:42,674
AMBASSADOR COCHRAN'S
IN THE MURAL ROOM

889
00:30:42,708 --> 00:30:44,210
AND TED MITCHEL'S
WAITING OUTSIDE.

890
00:30:44,243 --> 00:30:45,978
WHERE ARE WE PUTTING LOBELL
AND HIS PEOPLE?

891
00:30:46,012 --> 00:30:47,213
IN THE ROOSEVELT ROOM.

892
00:30:47,246 --> 00:30:48,047
HE'S GOING TO HAVE

893
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,448
A LOT OF STAFF WITH HIM.

894
00:30:49,481 --> 00:30:51,050
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANY OF THEM DO

895
00:30:51,083 --> 00:30:53,185
BUT THERE THEY ARE
WHEREVER LOBELL GOES

896
00:30:53,219 --> 00:30:54,620
14-15 GUYS.

897
00:30:54,653 --> 00:30:55,821
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS FIRST.

898
00:30:55,854 --> 00:30:56,889
I'LL SEE YOU
ACROSS THE HALL.

899
00:30:56,923 --> 00:30:58,124
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

900
00:30:58,157 --> 00:30:59,725
WHO'S IN THE
MURAL ROOM?
KEN COCHRAN.

901
00:30:59,758 --> 00:31:01,593
YOU DID IT AGAIN.

902
00:31:01,627 --> 00:31:02,995
WHEN YOU SAID
THE NAME COCHRAN

903
00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:04,430
IT WAS LIKE
YOU KNEW HIM.
NO, SIR.

904
00:31:04,463 --> 00:31:06,865
I HAVE A SENSE
ABOUT THESE THINGS.
YES, SIR.

905
00:31:06,899 --> 00:31:07,900
A FINELY
HONED SENSE.

906
00:31:07,934 --> 00:31:09,001
IT'S FAILING YOU, SIR.

907
00:31:09,035 --> 00:31:10,402
COCHRAN'S IN
THE MURAL ROOM?

908
00:31:10,436 --> 00:31:11,203
YES, SIR.

909
00:31:11,237 --> 00:31:12,671
WHY DON'T YOU
GO SIT WITH HIM

910
00:31:12,704 --> 00:31:13,805
AND SEND IN
TED MITCHEL.

911
00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:14,840
YES, SIR.
THANK YOU.

912
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:15,841
MR. PRESIDENT...

913
00:31:15,874 --> 00:31:17,309
YES, OF COURSE.

914
00:31:17,343 --> 00:31:18,644
THANKS.

915
00:31:18,677 --> 00:31:20,412
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SIR.

916
00:31:20,446 --> 00:31:21,413
TED.

917
00:31:21,447 --> 00:31:22,481
HEY, MR. PRESIDENT.

918
00:31:22,514 --> 00:31:23,649
THANK YOU
FOR COMING.

919
00:31:23,682 --> 00:31:24,683
OH, IT'S MY PLEASURE.

920
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:25,717
YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD.

921
00:31:25,751 --> 00:31:26,718
OH, I FEEL GOOD.

922
00:31:26,752 --> 00:31:27,686
HOW IS MARY?

923
00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:28,720
SHE SENDS HER LOVE.

924
00:31:28,754 --> 00:31:30,389
I HAVE SOMETHING
TO DO IN THE NEXT ROOM.

925
00:31:30,422 --> 00:31:32,524
LET ME JUST TELL YOU
THAT I NEED A FAVOR.

926
00:31:32,558 --> 00:31:33,325
OH, OF COURSE, SIR.

927
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:35,061
I NEED YOU
TO HIRE A GUY.
WHO, SIR?

928
00:31:35,094 --> 00:31:37,029
THE FORMER AMBASSADOR
TO BULGARIA.

929
00:31:37,063 --> 00:31:38,430
WHO IS THAT, SIR?

930
00:31:38,464 --> 00:31:39,265
KEN COCHRAN.

931
00:31:39,298 --> 00:31:41,600
ISN'T COCHRAN THE
CURRENT AMBASSADOR?

932
00:31:41,633 --> 00:31:42,568
NOT FOR LONG.

933
00:31:42,601 --> 00:31:44,436
HE'S A GOOD MAN--
A SMART MAN.

934
00:31:44,470 --> 00:31:46,572
I THINK HE'D MAKE
A GOOD CORPORATE OFFICER.

935
00:31:46,605 --> 00:31:47,706
WHY IS HE BEING FIRED?

936
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:49,675
GROSS INCOMPETENCE.

937
00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:53,612
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

938
00:31:53,645 --> 00:31:54,613
GOOD MORNING, SIR.

939
00:31:54,646 --> 00:31:55,681
GOOD MORNING, NANCY.

940
00:31:55,714 --> 00:31:56,682
SENATOR LOBELL'S
IN THE ROOSEVELT ROOM.

941
00:31:56,715 --> 00:31:58,817
YEAH, I'LL BE RIGHT IN.

942
00:31:58,850 --> 00:32:00,219
MR. PRESIDENT.
KEN.

943
00:32:00,252 --> 00:32:01,353
IT'S GOOD
TO SEE YOU AGAIN, SIR.

944
00:32:01,387 --> 00:32:03,622
THANK YOU FOR FLYING IN
ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.

945
00:32:03,655 --> 00:32:06,558
OF COURSE,
MR. PRESIDENT.

946
00:32:06,592 --> 00:32:07,826
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

947
00:32:07,859 --> 00:32:10,829
RESIGN.

948
00:32:10,862 --> 00:32:11,697
EXCUSE ME?

949
00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:12,798
YOU'VE BEEN
HAVING AN AFFAIR

950
00:32:12,831 --> 00:32:14,200
WITH THE DAUGHTER
OF THE PRIME MINISTER

951
00:32:14,233 --> 00:32:15,334
AND THAT DOESN'T
WORK FOR ME

952
00:32:15,367 --> 00:32:17,236
BUT NEITHER DOES
A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE

953
00:32:17,269 --> 00:32:18,704
SAYING YOU'RE
HAVING AN AFFAIR

954
00:32:18,737 --> 00:32:20,206
WITH THE DAUGHTER OF
THE PRIME MINISTER

955
00:32:20,239 --> 00:32:21,373
SO I NEED YOU
TO RESIGN.

956
00:32:21,407 --> 00:32:23,342
YOU'RE GETTING A JOB
OFFER FROM TED MITCHEL

957
00:32:23,375 --> 00:32:25,577
FOR A LOT MORE MONEY
THAN YOU'RE MAKING NOW.

958
00:32:25,611 --> 00:32:27,113
THAT'S WHY YOU
LEFT THE EMBASSY.

959
00:32:27,146 --> 00:32:28,480
I'LL BE BACK
IN A MINUTE.

960
00:32:34,653 --> 00:32:36,688
WELL...

961
00:32:36,722 --> 00:32:38,057
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

962
00:32:38,924 --> 00:32:41,060
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

963
00:32:41,093 --> 00:32:43,462
AND I'LL EXPLAIN THAT TO HIM
WHEN HE COMES BACK IN HERE.

964
00:32:43,495 --> 00:32:44,430
YES, SIR.

965
00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:48,767
HAVE WE MET?

966
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,236
SIR?

967
00:32:50,269 --> 00:32:51,703
YOU LOOK VERY FAMILIAR TO ME.

968
00:32:51,737 --> 00:32:53,272
HAVE WE MET?

969
00:32:53,305 --> 00:32:55,507
YES, SIR.

970
00:32:55,541 --> 00:32:56,408
WHERE?

971
00:32:56,442 --> 00:33:01,680
I WAS A WAITER
AT THE GRAMERCY CLUB.

972
00:33:01,713 --> 00:33:02,681
CHARLIE?

973
00:33:02,714 --> 00:33:03,882
YES, SIR.

974
00:33:03,915 --> 00:33:05,651
( laughing )

975
00:33:05,684 --> 00:33:06,852
CHARLIE...

976
00:33:06,885 --> 00:33:08,287
YES, SIR?

977
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,689
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

978
00:33:10,722 --> 00:33:12,324
YES, SIR.

979
00:33:12,358 --> 00:33:14,193
UNDER STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES

980
00:33:14,226 --> 00:33:16,695
WHICH, WHEN THE PRESIDENT
COMES BACK, I'LL...

981
00:33:16,728 --> 00:33:17,663
YES, SIR.

982
00:33:20,499 --> 00:33:22,834
I RESIGNED MY MEMBERSHIP
IN THAT CLUB, BY THE WAY.

983
00:33:22,868 --> 00:33:23,835
DID YOU?

984
00:33:23,869 --> 00:33:25,037
OH, YEAH.

985
00:33:25,071 --> 00:33:27,306
I FIND EXCLUSIVE CLUBS
TO BE REPUGNANT.

986
00:33:27,339 --> 00:33:28,640
I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE

987
00:33:28,674 --> 00:33:30,942
IT DIDN'T STOP YOU FROM
JOINING UP IN THE FIRST PLACE.

988
00:33:30,976 --> 00:33:32,544
NOW, THAT'S OUT OF LINE.

989
00:33:32,578 --> 00:33:35,614
THAT'S OUT OF LINE AND THAT
SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SAID

990
00:33:35,647 --> 00:33:37,983
YOU'VE FORGOTTEN
THAT YOU'RE ADDRESSING
A U.S. AMBASSADOR.

991
00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:39,118
I APOLOGIZE, SIR.

992
00:33:39,151 --> 00:33:40,619
I'M SORRY TO DO THIS

993
00:33:40,652 --> 00:33:43,855
BUT I'D LIKE TO SPEAK
TO YOUR SUPERVISOR.

994
00:33:43,889 --> 00:33:47,059
WELL, I'M PERSONAL AIDE
TO THE PRESIDENT

995
00:33:47,093 --> 00:33:49,728
SO MY SUPERVISOR'S A
LITTLE BUSY RIGHT NOW

996
00:33:49,761 --> 00:33:52,131
LOOKING FOR A BACK DOOR TO THIS
PLACE TO SHOVE YOU OUT OF.

997
00:33:52,164 --> 00:33:54,200
BUT I'LL LET HIM KNOW YOU'D
LIKE TO LODGE A COMPLAINT.

998
00:33:54,233 --> 00:33:55,901
( door opens )

999
00:33:55,934 --> 00:33:57,736
THANKS FOR
WAITING.

1000
00:33:57,769 --> 00:33:59,171
MR. PRESIDENT...

1001
00:33:59,205 --> 00:34:00,839
CLEARLY, THIS YOUNG MAN
WHO WORKS FOR YOU

1002
00:34:00,872 --> 00:34:02,174
HAS TOLD YOU
SOMETHING

1003
00:34:02,208 --> 00:34:04,376
ABOUT OUR PAST AND I'D LIKE
TO SAY HERE AND NOW...

1004
00:34:04,410 --> 00:34:05,911
IT DOESN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO
WITH THAT.

1005
00:34:05,944 --> 00:34:06,945
WAIT A SECOND...

1006
00:34:06,978 --> 00:34:09,047
YOU TWO HAVE A PAST?

1007
00:34:09,081 --> 00:34:10,749
Charlie:
SIR...

1008
00:34:10,782 --> 00:34:12,118
YOU MOCKED MY
FINELY HONED SENSE.

1009
00:34:12,151 --> 00:34:13,652
YES, SIR.
YOU STOOD THERE
IN MY FACE--

1010
00:34:13,685 --> 00:34:14,920
SIR...

1011
00:34:14,953 --> 00:34:16,322
IT'S DONE, KEN--
TED MITCHEL'S

1012
00:34:16,355 --> 00:34:18,157
GOING TO PUT YOU
ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

1013
00:34:18,190 --> 00:34:20,259
AND PLEASE
REMEMBER

1014
00:34:20,292 --> 00:34:22,094
THAT I HAVE A LOT OF AFFECTION
FOR YOUR WIFE

1015
00:34:22,128 --> 00:34:23,061
AND I WOULD HATE TO SEE HER

1016
00:34:23,095 --> 00:34:25,097
BE MADE
A FOOL OF.

1017
00:34:28,667 --> 00:34:31,670
I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE
AT THIS TIME, MR. PRESIDENT

1018
00:34:31,703 --> 00:34:34,005
TO MAKE A CONFESSION.

1019
00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:35,541
WHAT'S THAT?

1020
00:34:35,574 --> 00:34:37,676
I NEVER VOTED FOR YOU.

1021
00:34:37,709 --> 00:34:41,980
WELL, THANKS FOR TRYING,
BUT HERE I AM, ANYWAY.

1022
00:34:42,013 --> 00:34:43,549
GOTTA GO.

1023
00:34:45,584 --> 00:34:47,286
( door closes )

1024
00:34:47,319 --> 00:34:48,287
ALL SET?

1025
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,122
LOOK AT THAT--
14 STAFFERS IN THERE.

1026
00:34:50,156 --> 00:34:52,391
YOU HAVE QUITE A LARGE STAFF,
TOO, MR. PRESIDENT.

1027
00:34:52,424 --> 00:34:54,560
YEAH, BUT I DON'T
WALK AROUND WITH
THEM, YOU KNOW?

1028
00:34:55,594 --> 00:34:56,995
GOOD MORNING.

1029
00:34:57,028 --> 00:34:58,597
GOOD MORNING,
MR. PRESIDENT.

1030
00:34:58,630 --> 00:35:02,067
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE
BOB SIMONS, PETER RATHBURN...

1031
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:04,069
MAX, I DON'T NEED TO
KNOW ALL THE NAMES.

1032
00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:05,537
THAT'S OKAY.
PLEASE SIT DOWN.

1033
00:35:07,273 --> 00:35:09,541
Lobell:
ALL RIGHT, THEN.

1034
00:35:09,575 --> 00:35:11,543
YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE
DOING HERE, RIGHT?

1035
00:35:11,577 --> 00:35:13,779
WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT SOFT MONEY.

1036
00:35:13,812 --> 00:35:14,513
WE'RE GOING TO DO MORE

1037
00:35:14,546 --> 00:35:17,349
THAN TALK
ABOUT IT.
OKAY.

1038
00:35:17,383 --> 00:35:18,984
WE AGREE ON NOTHING, MAX.

1039
00:35:19,017 --> 00:35:21,287
YES, SIR.

1040
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,654
EDUCATION, GUNS, DRUGS

1041
00:35:22,688 --> 00:35:25,691
SCHOOL PRAYER, GAYS,
DEFENSE SPENDING, TAXES--

1042
00:35:25,724 --> 00:35:26,992
YOU NAME IT, WE DISAGREE.

1043
00:35:27,025 --> 00:35:29,861
YOU KNOW WHY?

1044
00:35:29,895 --> 00:35:33,732
'CAUSE I'M A LILY-LIVERED,
BLEEDING-HEART LIBERAL,
EGGHEAD COMMUNIST.

1045
00:35:33,765 --> 00:35:35,534
YES, SIR.

1046
00:35:35,567 --> 00:35:38,837
AND I'M A GUN-TOTIN',
REDNECK SON OF A BITCH.

1047
00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:39,905
YES, YOU ARE.

1048
00:35:39,938 --> 00:35:41,973
WE AGREE ON THAT.

1049
00:35:42,007 --> 00:35:44,376
WE ALSO AGREE
ON CAMPAIGN FINANCE.

1050
00:35:45,677 --> 00:35:46,678
YES, SIR.

1051
00:35:46,712 --> 00:35:47,513
SO, MAX...
YES, SIR?

1052
00:35:47,546 --> 00:35:50,482
LET'S WORK TOGETHER
ON CAMPAIGN FINANCE.

1053
00:35:50,516 --> 00:35:52,150
YOU DON'T HAVE THE VOTES
IN THE HOUSE.

1054
00:35:52,184 --> 00:35:53,652
I DON'T NEED THEM.

1055
00:35:53,685 --> 00:35:57,022
1978, THE F.E.C. VOTED
A REGULATORY RULE

1056
00:35:57,055 --> 00:35:58,824
THAT OPENED THE DOOR
TO SOFT MONEY.

1057
00:35:58,857 --> 00:36:01,327
THE F.E.C. CAN CLOSE IT AGAIN
WITH FOUR OF THE SIX VOTES.

1058
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,694
WE DON'T NEED A LAW.

1059
00:36:02,728 --> 00:36:05,163
AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET
THE FOUR VOTES?

1060
00:36:05,197 --> 00:36:06,198
TWO SEATS OPENED UP.

1061
00:36:06,232 --> 00:36:07,799
I NOMINATED BACON AND CALHOUN.

1062
00:36:07,833 --> 00:36:09,368
THAT'S TWO.

1063
00:36:09,401 --> 00:36:11,102
BARRY HASKEL WAS
WITH US ALREADY.

1064
00:36:11,136 --> 00:36:14,673
WE TOOK HIM OUT OF THE CLOSET.

1065
00:36:14,706 --> 00:36:16,642
HOW YOU GOING TO GET
THE FOURTH SEAT TO OPEN UP?

1066
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,977
TOBY'S GOING
TO TAKE CARE OF
THAT RIGHT AWAY.

1067
00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:20,512
MAX...

1068
00:36:20,546 --> 00:36:24,015
CAN I COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT
TO CONFIRM MY CANDIDATES?

1069
00:36:24,049 --> 00:36:27,386
AND WHAT DO I GET IN EXCHANGE?

1070
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:33,425
THE THANKS
OF A GRATEFUL PRESIDENT.

1071
00:36:37,396 --> 00:36:39,465
GOOD ANSWER, SIR.

1072
00:36:41,633 --> 00:36:42,968
GO.

1073
00:36:46,004 --> 00:36:47,739
THANK YOU.

1074
00:36:49,275 --> 00:36:50,008
MR. KASSENBACH.

1075
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:51,009
YES.

1076
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:52,077
HI, I'M TOBY ZIEGLER.

1077
00:36:52,110 --> 00:36:53,479
VERY NICE
TO MEET YOU.

1078
00:36:53,512 --> 00:36:54,580
THE PRESIDENT THINKS
YOU'VE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB

1079
00:36:54,613 --> 00:36:55,814
ON THE FEDERAL
ELECTION COMMISSION

1080
00:36:55,847 --> 00:36:58,116
AND WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND
HIS WARMEST CONGRATULATIONS.

1081
00:36:58,149 --> 00:36:59,718
ON WHAT?

1082
00:36:59,751 --> 00:37:02,721
ON BEING NAMED
THE NEXT AMBASSADOR

1083
00:37:02,754 --> 00:37:05,891
TO THE FEDERATED STATES
OF MICRONESIA.

1084
00:37:20,539 --> 00:37:24,009
IT'S IN.

1085
00:37:24,042 --> 00:37:25,611
YEAH.

1086
00:37:25,644 --> 00:37:26,412
YOU TALK TO HIM?

1087
00:37:26,445 --> 00:37:27,879
THEY SEALED IT
IN AN ENVELOPE

1088
00:37:27,913 --> 00:37:29,681
AND SENT IT
BY COURIER.

1089
00:37:32,384 --> 00:37:34,119
SO, JOEY MENTIONED
SHE TALKED TO YOU.

1090
00:37:34,152 --> 00:37:35,987
YEAH.

1091
00:37:36,021 --> 00:37:38,490
SHE SAID YOU THINK
YOU ONLY HAVE SO MANY TIMES LEFT

1092
00:37:38,524 --> 00:37:41,493
YOU CAN WALK INTO
THE OVAL OFFICE AND SING A SONG.

1093
00:37:44,763 --> 00:37:46,532
SHE SAID, "SING A SONG"?

1094
00:37:46,565 --> 00:37:49,301
NO, THAT'S WHAT I
THOUGHT SHE SAID.

1095
00:37:49,335 --> 00:37:50,736
I'M TRYING TO PICK UP SOME SIGN

1096
00:37:50,769 --> 00:37:53,539
AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE
DOING IT BY LETTERS
OF THE ALPHABET.

1097
00:37:53,572 --> 00:37:55,240
SO I HAD KENNY COME OVER
AND INTERPRET IT

1098
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:57,242
AND IT TURNS OUT THAT SHE SAID

1099
00:37:57,275 --> 00:37:58,810
YOU THINK YOU ONLY HAVE
SO MANY TIMES LEFT

1100
00:37:58,844 --> 00:38:01,513
YOU CAN COME INTO THE
OVAL OFFICE AND SAY,
"YOU'RE WRONG."

1101
00:38:01,547 --> 00:38:03,482
HE HASN'T BEEN CALLING MY NUMBER
THAT MUCH, JOSH.

1102
00:38:03,515 --> 00:38:05,116
HE DID ON THIS--
THIS LAST THREE WEEKS

1103
00:38:05,150 --> 00:38:06,618
THE MEDIA STRATEGY WAS YOURS.

1104
00:38:06,652 --> 00:38:07,453
I KNOW.

1105
00:38:07,486 --> 00:38:08,854
JOEY SAYS HOLDING AT
42 IS A GOOD NUMBER.

1106
00:38:08,887 --> 00:38:11,222
YOU SHOULDN'T EXPECT
A FIVE-POINT BUMP.

1107
00:38:11,256 --> 00:38:12,257
I DO EXPECT IT.

1108
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,326
OKAY.

1109
00:38:17,696 --> 00:38:21,633
HE THINKS OF YOU
LIKE A DAUGHTER, C.J.

1110
00:38:21,667 --> 00:38:24,870
THAT'S NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON
TO KEEP ME HERE.

1111
00:38:27,406 --> 00:38:30,409
YOU'LL COME AS SOON
AS YOU GET IT?
YEAH.

1112
00:38:30,442 --> 00:38:32,544
'CAUSE WE'RE ALL WAITING
OVER THERE.

1113
00:38:32,578 --> 00:38:33,579
YEAH.

1114
00:38:50,161 --> 00:38:51,096
THEY'RE DELIVERING IT
TO HER.

1115
00:38:51,129 --> 00:38:52,297
YEAH.

1116
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:53,499
AND THEN SHE'S GOING
TO BRING IT RIGHT HERE.

1117
00:38:53,532 --> 00:38:54,500
YEAH.

1118
00:38:54,533 --> 00:38:56,334
OKAY.

1119
00:39:03,675 --> 00:39:05,911
THANK YOU.

1120
00:39:05,944 --> 00:39:08,380
KASSENBACH
WAS OKAY?

1121
00:39:10,449 --> 00:39:11,983
I'M SORRY, SIR?

1122
00:39:12,017 --> 00:39:15,587
KASSENBACH
WAS OKAY.

1123
00:39:15,621 --> 00:39:17,122
HE'S GOING TO BE
AN AMBASSADOR.

1124
00:39:17,155 --> 00:39:18,356
HE FEELS
PRETTY GOOD.

1125
00:39:20,191 --> 00:39:22,628
DID YOU TELL HIM
ABOUT THE WEATHER?

1126
00:39:22,661 --> 00:39:23,962
YES, SIR.

1127
00:39:25,764 --> 00:39:27,933
SCUBA DIVING?

1128
00:39:27,966 --> 00:39:30,936
( chuckling ):
YES, SIR.

1129
00:39:30,969 --> 00:39:32,638
FULL DIPLOMATIC
IMMUNITY?

1130
00:39:32,671 --> 00:39:34,573
YES, SIR.

1131
00:39:34,606 --> 00:39:36,475
THOUGH THERE REALLY
AREN'T A...

1132
00:39:36,508 --> 00:39:38,309
A LOT OF LAWS
IN MICRONESIA, SIR.

1133
00:39:38,343 --> 00:39:40,045
SURE.

1134
00:39:40,078 --> 00:39:41,279
GOOD EVENING.

1135
00:39:41,312 --> 00:39:42,714
EVENING, JOSH.

1136
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:45,584
I JUST SAW C.J.

1137
00:39:45,617 --> 00:39:47,085
SHE'LL BE HERE WITH IT
IN A MINUTE.

1138
00:39:47,118 --> 00:39:48,520
OKAY.

1139
00:39:55,126 --> 00:39:56,294
JOEY AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING

1140
00:39:56,327 --> 00:39:58,830
ON A COUNTERARGUMENT
TO ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE.

1141
00:39:58,864 --> 00:39:59,631
WE'RE HAVING
A FIGHT

1142
00:39:59,665 --> 00:40:01,399
WITH ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE?

1143
00:40:01,433 --> 00:40:03,201
MR. PRESIDENT,
PLEASE DON'T GET HIM STARTED.

1144
00:40:03,234 --> 00:40:04,503
JOEY, WHAT SAY YOU
TO THE POSITION

1145
00:40:04,536 --> 00:40:07,338
THAT, WITH ETHNIC WARFARE
SPREADING AROUND THE GLOBE

1146
00:40:07,372 --> 00:40:09,441
AND PARTICULARLY,
IN EASTERN EUROPE

1147
00:40:09,475 --> 00:40:11,977
IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE IT REACHES OUR SHORES

1148
00:40:12,010 --> 00:40:15,180
AND MAKING ENGLISH THE
OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF
THE UNITED STATES

1149
00:40:15,213 --> 00:40:16,648
WITH SAFEGUARD AGAINST
THE DESTRUCTION

1150
00:40:16,682 --> 00:40:18,083
OF OUR NATIONAL IDENTITY

1151
00:40:18,116 --> 00:40:19,951
AND HELP US AVOID
ETHNIC STRIFE?

1152
00:40:19,985 --> 00:40:20,952
WHAT SAY YOU
TO THAT?

1153
00:40:23,922 --> 00:40:25,457
YOU SEE THAT?

1154
00:40:25,491 --> 00:40:27,258
THAT'S WHAT I BEEN DEALING WITH
ALL WEEK.

1155
00:40:27,292 --> 00:40:30,496
MR. PRESIDENT,
72% OF HISPANICS

1156
00:40:30,529 --> 00:40:32,731
ARE STRONGLY OPPOSED
TO SUCH A LAW.

1157
00:40:32,764 --> 00:40:35,066
THE REPUBLICANS WILL NEVER
PUT IT ON THE TABLE

1158
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:36,301
BECAUSE THEY'LL
RISK LOSING

1159
00:40:36,334 --> 00:40:37,636
THE SECOND LARGEST
ETHNIC BLOC

1160
00:40:37,669 --> 00:40:39,505
OF VOTERS
IN THE COUNTRY.

1161
00:40:39,538 --> 00:40:41,406
BUT, IF YOU DID NEED
A COUNTERARGUMENT

1162
00:40:41,439 --> 00:40:43,341
THEN I'D MENTION

1163
00:40:43,374 --> 00:40:45,611
TO MONSIEUR DE TOCQUEVILLE
OVER HERE

1164
00:40:45,644 --> 00:40:47,913
THAT, ASIDE FROM IT
BEING BIGOTED AND
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

1165
00:40:47,946 --> 00:40:50,315
IT'S LUDICROUS TO THINK
THAT LAWS NEED TO BE CREATED

1166
00:40:50,348 --> 00:40:52,518
TO HELP PROTECT THE LANGUAGE
OF SHAKESPEARE.

1167
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,087
THERE, THAT'S ALL
I WAS LOOKING FOR--
THAT ONE LINE.

1168
00:40:56,121 --> 00:40:57,523
IT TOOK YOU
FOUR DAYS.

1169
00:40:58,957 --> 00:40:59,825
SHE DID IT AGAIN.

1170
00:40:59,858 --> 00:41:01,527
YEAH.

1171
00:41:17,743 --> 00:41:19,878
WHAT KIND OF BRIEFCASE
DID YOU GET HER, SAM?

1172
00:41:19,911 --> 00:41:22,013
SIR?

1173
00:41:22,047 --> 00:41:24,783
WHAT KIND OF
BRIEFCASE?

1174
00:41:24,816 --> 00:41:28,019
THE COACH BEEKMAN IN BRITISH TAN
WITH BRASS HARDWARE.

1175
00:41:28,053 --> 00:41:29,521
THAT'S NICE.

1176
00:41:29,555 --> 00:41:31,222
YES, SIR.

1177
00:41:31,256 --> 00:41:33,191
ANDARE MAKES A NICE MODEL.

1178
00:41:33,224 --> 00:41:36,461
COMES IN BLACK OR BROWN.

1179
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:38,363
HAND-STAINED.

1180
00:41:38,396 --> 00:41:40,165
YOU CAN FIT
A LAPTOP,
NOTEBOOKS...

1181
00:41:40,198 --> 00:41:41,600
THIS CONVERSATION IS SURREAL.

1182
00:41:41,633 --> 00:41:44,903
TRIESTE IN MILAN
MAKES A NICE BRIEFCASE.

1183
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:02,788
GOOD EVENING,
MR. PRESIDENT.

1184
00:42:02,821 --> 00:42:04,923
THE FULL POLLING BOOK
IS 400 PAGES LONG

1185
00:42:04,956 --> 00:42:07,258
AND IT'S STILL
BEING PUT TOGETHER.

1186
00:42:07,292 --> 00:42:08,894
I HAVE THE TOP
SHEET RESULTS.

1187
00:42:08,927 --> 00:42:09,961
WHAT DOES IT SAY?

1188
00:42:11,429 --> 00:42:14,800
I WAS WRONG.

1189
00:42:14,833 --> 00:42:16,935
WE WENT UP NINE POINTS.

1190
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:36,521
OKAY.

1191
00:42:36,554 --> 00:42:38,724
WHAT'S NEXT?

1192
00:42:38,757 --> 00:42:40,291
( all talking )
